Chapter 752: , tell your husband, who am I?
After all, she had admitted it herself that she was Mizunuki Ryosuke's lover.
One must know that different things, when done by different people, have different meanings.
In Hanzō of the Salamander's view, this woman was just a female Iwagakure ninja with strange behavior.
But in Mizunuki Ryosuke's eyes, she was the key to opening a mysterious door.
Even though Mizunuki Ryosuke didn't intend to watch the scene behind this mysterious door, he absolutely could not let others go behind the door.
So this key must be in his hands!
If there hadn't been the "lover" identity that the girl admitted herself, and Mizunuki Ryosuke had taken the initiative to ask Hanzō of the Salamander for the ownership of the girl.
Then Hanzō of the Salamander would definitely suspect that since the mighty Mizukage had personally asked for an Iwagakure captive, it meant that this ninja must have something valued by the Mizukage.
Therefore, Hanzō of the Salamander would inevitably be curious and guess.
Eventually, this would lead to Hanzō of the Salamander launching an investigation into the girl out of curiosity.
And once Hanzō of the Salamander started an investigation, he would inevitably find problems, because there were huge loopholes in the girl's identity!
At that time, once the flaws appeared, they would only continue to expand, and would not stop because of this.
Until the end, the small flaws would become the most important pushers for revealing the truth!
Mizunuki Ryosuke naturally knew the truth of this.
So, in order to avoid the leakage of the secrets on the girl and obtain the ownership of the girl in the safest way, Mizunuki Ryosuke simply chose to "play along."
Everything Mizunuki Ryosuke was doing now looked like he was just taking advantage of the girl on the surface, but in reality, he was declaring "sovereignty" over the girl in front of Hanzō of the Salamander, borrowing the girl's previous words.
That is, creating an illusion of: "This is my person."
To completely solidify such a situation, Mizunuki Ryosuke's unilateral initiative and restraint were not enough; he also needed the girl's "interaction" and "cooperation."
Thinking of this, a strange luster flashed in Mizunuki Ryosuke's deep, dark eyes.
With how much this girl feared him, he thought "interacting" shouldn't be difficult, right?
Thus, Mizunuki Ryosuke nodded slightly and fixed his gaze on the girl's delicate face.
The tightly furrowed willow eyebrows and the slightly wrinkled small nose made the girl's delicate and lovely face look even more pitiful, obedient, and weak.
Seeing this, Mizunuki Ryosuke suddenly felt that perhaps raising a "little pet" wouldn't be bad.
Mizunuki Ryosuke spoke to the girl in a commanding tone, the gentle tone he usually had disappearing without a trace.
"Open your eyes."
This made the girl, who was already incomparably afraid of Mizunuki Ryosuke, even more panicked, and she could only open her large, clear, bright eyes a sliver, quietly observing the scene before her.
When she saw a handsome and slightly cold face, the girl immediately closed her eyes again as if she had been electrocuted.
It seemed as if by closing her eyes, this terrifying "Demon God" before her would cease to exist.
This typical "ostrich mentality" caused Mizunuki Ryosuke's inner bad taste to gradually revive, which meant he intended to take the opportunity to make trouble.
There are many ways to "assert sovereignty," and Mizunuki Ryosuke's heart gradually thought of one with the "best effect."
Seeing the girl close her eyes again, Mizunuki Ryosuke clearly had a way to handle the girl; he made a slight snort that carried a questioning meaning.
"Hmm?"
Just this one snort sounded like a thunderclap in the girl's ears.
Immediately, the girl opened her bright eyes.
And where she looked, there was a pair of eyes as deep as the galaxy, and at this moment, the distance between them was so close that the warm breath of both could hit the other's face.
The girl was stunned, because she suddenly felt that although this man was indeed a terrifying Demon God,
but, he was really handsome...
For some reason, an unnatural red color appeared on the girl's deathly pale face.
"Haruko, tell your husband, who am I?"
Mizunuki Ryosuke asked the girl who was close at hand in a gentle tone, using the fake name the girl had made up just now.
"You, you, you, I..."
Mizunuki Ryosuke's ambiguous address left the girl speechless; for a time, she couldn't speak clearly and actually turned into a little stutterer.
The girl's little brain had long since overheated and completely crashed, unable to be used; she could only subconsciously follow her instincts and say a relatively rigid and official title.
"You, you are Lord Mizukage..."
In the end, the girl, with a face red to the point of purple, answered Mizunuki Ryosuke with a tone that was four parts shy, four parts afraid, and two parts panicked.
"I'll give you one last chance; think about it carefully, who am I?"
Mizunuki Ryosuke revealed a very rare, slightly evil smile, and while speaking, he suddenly brought his face close to the girl; when he said the last three words, he even carried a hint of threat, scaring the poor girl's heartbeat to stop for an instant.
The slightly threatening tone, plus this slightly evil expression, made the corners of the girl's eyes already slightly moist from fear.
Regarding the "last chance" in Mizunuki Ryosuke's mouth, the girl did not doubt it in the slightest; this really might be the last time in her life she had the chance to speak.
After all, in her impression, most Iwagakure ninjas didn't even have such a chance before they were frozen into ice shards.
Could it be that being frozen into ice shards was the final fate she was about to welcome?
