Chapter 689: The Negotiation

It was precisely this ceasefire order that left all the Iwagakure ninja feeling unclear about the current situation.

Therefore, they were extremely desperate to resolve the doubts currently in their hearts.

Seeing this, the leading elite Iwagakure ninja could only suppress the strange feeling in his heart, force himself to summon his courage, and slowly speak to this "Grim Reaper" upon the Frozen Throne.

"Fourth Mizukage, things have reached this point; what exactly is your purpose in gathering everyone here?"

"Is it war or peace, you—"

Not knowing where the courage came from, this Iwagakure ninja questioned Mizunuki Ryosuke directly, but before he could finish.

"Jonin Sosuke!"

A stern, steady voice immediately scolded him, stopping his further questioning.

The Iwagakure jonin looked over and saw that it was Huang Tu, who had been silent for a long time.

Huang Tu looked sternly at the elite Iwagakure ninja who had been pushed forward by the others, shaking his head with an extremely serious expression.

Seeing this, the elite Iwagakure ninja was caught in a dilemma.

Ultimately, out of trust for Huang Tu, he took a step back...

Seeing this, Huang Tu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

When it came to understanding Mizunuki Ryosuke, Huang Tu was far inferior to Bi.

But Huang Tu was absolutely certain of one thing in his heart—that this man named Mizunuki Ryosuke was far more terrifying than he had imagined!

Especially after Mizunuki Ryosuke's "enlightenment" just now, Huang Tu understood much deeper layers of darkness.

And all of this made Huang Tu understand one thing: that right now, they were the meat on the chopping block, and Iwagakure did not have the capital to continue resisting.

All Iwagakure could do was wait for the verdict of "fate."

And this fate came from this Fourth Mizukage—Mizunuki Ryosuke.

No matter what medicine Mizunuki Ryosuke was selling in his gourd, Iwagakure had no choice but to swallow it.

The exchange between Huang Tu and the elite Iwagakure ninja also successfully attracted Mizunuki Ryosuke's attention.

Mizunuki Ryosuke maintained his signature gentle smile, looking at the two of them indifferently.

He scanned the crowd with their strange expressions, fixed his gaze on Huang Tu and Bi, and a look of "sudden realization" appeared on his face.

This expression of Mizunuki Ryosuke's fell into the eyes of Bi and Huang Tu, who had been watching him all along.

A hint of surprise appeared in Bi's eyes, while a flash of uncertainty flickered in Huang Tu's.

Could it be that the elite Iwagakure ninja's questioning had actually worked?

Seeing that Mizunuki Ryosuke intended to speak, Huang Tu's heart was filled with anticipation.

Finally, Mizunuki Ryosuke said with a smile.

"It seems everyone is tired of standing."

After speaking unhurriedly, he raised a hand and snapped his fingers in the air once more.

"Crack!"

One large and one small chair formed of ice appeared before Bi and Huang Tu.

"Come, don't be polite."

"Sit."

Mizunuki Ryosuke looked at Bi and Huang Tu with a generous expression.

A strange look appeared on Huang Tu's face—one could only say that the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment—while in Bi's eyes, there was understanding, as if he were accustomed to this.

"As expected."

Bi said secretly in his heart.

Given Mizunuki Ryosuke's personality, how could he not use his dark humor to torment them at this critical moment?
