Chapter 706

~5 min read 809 words

As the pressure coming from Mizunuki Ryosuke grew increasingly immense, a feeling of suffocation also surged in Huang Tu's heart.

Hesitation leads to defeat; Huang Tu knew he could not continue to wait, he had to cut the Gordian knot!

"No!"

"I refuse such terms!!"

Huang Tu shouted at Mizunuki Ryosuke through gritted teeth, struggling to squeeze out the last shred of courage in his heart, attempting to resist the terrifying pressure originating from Mizunuki Ryosuke.

Once these words were out, Mizunuki Ryosuke did not rush to respond, but instead glanced at Bee on the side without leaving a trace.

This imperceptible movement happened to fall into Huang Tu's eyes.

In an instant, Huang Tu suddenly realized something, his mind trembled violently again, and the cold sweat on his body had already soaked his clothes.

"No! That's not right, I..."

Huang Tu's tone shifted abruptly, and he fell into distress again; the courage he had obtained by draining the last bit of his marrow and blood disappeared without a trace.

Because he suddenly realized a problem: it was not just him and Mizunuki Ryosuke present, and this negotiation did not just involve Kirigakure and Iwagakure.

No matter what, Huang Tu still had an existence he could not bypass—Kumogakure, Bee.

Fear suddenly swallowed Huang Tu completely, because he was truly terrified.

Huang Tu's fear was not because of personal life or death, but because there are always things that are above life and death.

The scheme Mizunuki Ryosuke carried out using "heart-piercing rhetoric" was far more ruthless than Huang Tu had imagined.

Its most critical point lay precisely in Bee, or rather, Kumogakure as the third party present.

Looking at it as a whole, Kumogakure had the lowest level, combat power, and threat, but this did not hinder Kumogakure's own status as one of the Five Great Ninja Villages.

This determined one thing: that in the current conversation between Mizunuki Ryosuke and Huang Tu, Bee would become the best witness.

If Huang Tu had firmly refused Mizunuki Ryosuke just now, what about Bee? What would Bee think?

Had Bee also been influenced by Mizunuki Ryosuke's heart-piercing rhetoric, believing that Huang Tu wanted to push Onoki off the stage to take the position himself?

And once Bee determined this in his heart, this matter, which should have been ambiguous and unclear, would be completely confirmed because there was a "witness."

Once this happened, no matter how the situation developed in the future, one thing was certain.

Huang Tu's controversial actions would become the biggest "handle" held in the hands of Kumogakure and Kirigakure.

Suppose that once Huang Tu succeeded as the Fourth Tsuchikage, Kirigakure and Kumogakure chose to make this "handle" public; under the mutual verification of both parties, what would the ninjas in Iwagakure think under the pressure of public opinion?

At that time, Huang Tu would be completely ruined!

Huang Tu was not afraid of death; what he feared were things even more terrifying than death!!!

Mizunuki Ryosuke's subtle gaze seemed to be deliberately "reminding" Huang Tu...

The "reminding" gaze obviously had the intended effect; Huang Tu, who had originally had an attitude of refusal, immediately became indecisive again.

Seeing this, Mizunuki Ryosuke revealed a hint of a smile.

Whether it was the verbal confrontation, pressure, and hints used to pressure Huang Tu at the Iwagakure command post earlier, or the heart-piercing rhetoric and ultimatum just now.

All were paving the way for Mizunuki Ryosuke's final "killing blow" to achieve his goal.

And these were all advantages created by utilizing the situation, not falling into the category of "trump cards."

And next, what he had to do was "increase the stakes," reveal his own hand, and completely crush the scales in Huang Tu's heart.

At this moment, Mizunuki Ryosuke did not continue to speak, but instead formed hand seals with both hands, moving slowly.

"Boom!"

Reverse Summoning Array!

By inscribing a summoning array on the target in advance, Mizunuki Ryosuke could summon them to his side when needed using the Summoning Jutsu.

As the dust of the Summoning Jutsu slowly dissipated, the true face behind the smoke was revealed.

Mizunuki Ryosuke's actions naturally attracted the gazes of Bee and Huang Tu; when the two saw the existence summoned by the Summoning Jutsu, their expressions were all different.

Bee was slightly startled, but soon revealed a look of realization, as if he were not unfamiliar with it.

And Huang Tu's pupils contracted violently; he stood up directly from his chair, his fists clenched tightly together, while the veins and blood vessels on his arms bulged uncontrollably, already on the verge of losing his composure.

The reason why the existence Mizunuki Ryosuke summoned could bring such great stimulation to Huang Tu was because what he summoned was not some summoning beast, but a person, a living person. ===== CHAPTER 708 =====
