Chapter 68

Since the other party could be sent to assassinate the Mizukage, they probably had some skills.

Even if they weren't a Kage-level powerhouse, daring to make a move in Kirigakure meant they were likely a highly skilled assassin!

Or perhaps, this assassin had some terrifying and bizarre means to kill with one blow!

Seeing that the other party said nothing, for the sake of safety, Mizunuki Ryosuke decided to test them with words.

"Since there is no one around, why don't you reveal your face?"

What Mizunuki Ryosuke didn't expect was that he had just said it casually, and the other party actually intended to take off the hood on their head.

"Could it be that the other party isn't very bright?"

Mizunuki Ryosuke raised an eyebrow and muttered to himself.

Or perhaps, the other party really had absolute confidence, the kind of powerful assassin with the setting that "anyone who sees my face must die"?

Thinking of this, Mizunuki Ryosuke's heart sank another notch.

The stronger the other party, the more dangerous his situation was at this moment.

After seeing the other party's appearance, the corners of Mizunuki Ryosuke's eyes twitched twice, and after confirming the other party's "assassin" identity,

he also interpreted the other party's behavior as the first possibility he mentioned just now.

That was—the other party might not be very bright.

Truly, this assassin is not very calm.

Because...

Hidden under the hood was a face with strange eyebrows and an extremely rugged appearance.

And the other party could be considered an "old acquaintance" of Mizunuki Ryosuke.

Kaguya Yuta!

The current young clan leader of the Kaguya clan.

That is, the Kaguya Jonin who attempted to act cool but failed when Mizunuki Ryosuke encountered him during the Jonin exam.

It was precisely because he confirmed the other party's "Kaguya clan" identity that Mizunuki Ryosuke also concluded that the other party must have come to assassinate Mizunuki Taki!

After all, the feud between the Kaguya and the Mizunuki was known to everyone.

At this sensitive moment, there was no need to think much about the Kaguya's movements.

Plus, it was well known that the Kaguya clan's brains were never very good, so any action they took could be understood.

After knowing the other party's identity, Ryosuke's heart also relaxed.

The unknown is the most terrifying; since the other party revealed their identity and was still an enemy Ryosuke knew well,

then naturally there was nothing to be afraid of.

For this opponent who was good at "acting cool," Mizunuki Ryosuke didn't take it to heart; even if the opponent had hidden cards, they could never be Ryosuke's opponent.

Just when Mizunuki Ryosuke was carefully preparing, intending to kill Kaguya Yuta with the force of thunder,

Kaguya Yuta took the initiative to "make a move" first.

He saw him take a sudden step forward with extreme speed, as if he was about to launch an offensive.

Seeing this situation, Mizunuki Ryosuke thought to himself that it was good; this way, he could strike after the enemy, control movement with stillness, and save a lot of effort.

So Mizunuki Ryosuke raised one hand, preparing to form seals with one hand to finish off the other party.

Suddenly...

"Thump."

The dull sound of knees hitting the ground was transmitted into the cold air of the alley.

Kaguya Yuta's sturdy and burly body did not hesitate at all, kneeling directly at a position five meters away from Mizunuki Ryosuke.

"Huh?!"

At that moment, Mizunuki Ryosuke was shocked.

He was so scared that his Transformation Technique almost directly dissipated.

What does this mean?

Begging for mercy before the fight even starts?

Or is it really: there were too many people outside just now, so I was embarrassed; now that there is no one around, brother will kneel for you.

"The brain is not good," but it hasn't reached this level, right?

It must be said, as a transmigrator,

Mizunuki Ryosuke's ability to accept things was still very strong.

Even for the scene before him, he accepted it very quickly.
