Chapter 772

Kurotsuchi gave an answer that was incomparably cruel to Kitsuchi.

Hearing Kurotsuchi's answer, Kitsuchi fell completely silent.

Looking at the daughter before him, who although still young in appearance, was now nearly the same age as him, Kitsuchi felt a wave of sorrow rise from his heart.

It was his own stubbornness that had sent his daughter back to the past, annihilating more than twenty years of her life in the river of time.

Seeing this, Mizunuki Ryosuke on the side couldn't help but sigh.

He knew that although Kurotsuchi was calm on the surface, her heart was actually extremely repressed at this moment.

Without a doubt, having experienced so many things, Kurotsuchi's life experience now made her understand that Kitsuchi's obsession with trying to traverse time was a complete mistake.

And the biggest victim of this was her, Kitsuchi's daughter.

To comfort Kurotsuchi, Mizunuki Ryosuke stepped forward and slowly took hold of Kurotsuchi's soft hand.

The mature and charming Kurotsuchi turned her face to look at Mizunuki Ryosuke behind her, a moving ripple flashing in her charming large eyes.

Fortunately.

She had met Mizunuki Ryosuke.

Although they had been an old married couple for many years, Kurotsuchi's attachment to Mizunuki Ryosuke remained undiminished; she simply leaned into Mizunuki Ryosuke's embrace, feeling the warmth from her bedfellow.

"You two..."

Kitsuchi was shocked, looking at the intimate Mizunuki Ryosuke and Kurotsuchi; he only felt his mind go dim, and at the same time, his chest felt stifled.

Nothing was more of a blow to a man than his own daughter becoming the woman of his enemy.

Seemingly to deliberately anger Kitsuchi, Kurotsuchi stood on her tiptoes slightly and pressed her red, delicate lips to the corner of Ryosuke's mouth.

Their lips touched and parted, but even so, it caused a massive impact on Kitsuchi's spirit.

"Pfft!!!!"

Seeing this, Kitsuchi could no longer endure it; he spat out a mouthful of old blood and then fainted.

"Time, how can it be something that mortals can wantonly tamper with and utilize?"

"When you attempt to use time to change history, can you be certain that your actions might not be a part of history itself?"

Mizunuki Ryosuke looked at the numb Kitsuchi and spoke slowly, his eyes full of depth and unfathomable expressions.

Without a doubt, Kitsuchi's attempt to reverse history was completely wrong.

The result of trying to toy with time was that one would inevitably suffer the backlash of time.

The path of space-time was profound and mysterious; even Mizunuki Ryosuke did not dare to easily touch upon it, yet Kitsuchi had the audacity to dream of changing history—it was simply wishful thinking.

Looking at this actual defeated opponent and nominal "cheap father-in-law," there was not a hint of reverence in Mizunuki Ryosuke's tone.

In fact, Kitsuchi's move of exhausting all of Iwagakure's resources to attempt to research space-time ninjutsu had always been under his control.

And the reason Mizunuki Ryosuke had not stopped Kitsuchi was simply to let Kitsuchi successfully send Kurotsuchi back to the past, to meet his past self.

Ironically, what Kitsuchi did not know was that his move to attempt to change the course of history had instead personally created "history."

Kitsuchi sent Kurotsuchi to the past, thinking he could change everything in the past, not knowing that such an ignorant assumption was simply the height of ignorance.

Time was inherently irreversible; the moment Kurotsuchi returned to the past, she had already become a part of history.

It was precisely because of the "cause" of Kurotsuchi returning to the past that the "effect" of the mature Kurotsuchi standing before Kitsuchi now appeared.

Every action and reaction had actually been destined long ago.

Kitsuchi's actions ultimately only hurt others and himself.

Seeing Kitsuchi so incompetent, vomiting blood and fainting from just this little stimulation, Kurotsuchi shook her head helplessly.

To be honest, although she was unhappy in her heart, she did not hate Kitsuchi.

Because if Kitsuchi hadn't sent her back to the past, she would not have been able to meet the love of her life, Mizunuki Ryosuke.

At most, Kurotsuchi was just a bit angry in her heart at this unqualified father; now that Kitsuchi had fallen, as a daughter, she still had to take care of him.

So Kurotsuchi looked at Mizunuki Ryosuke with a gaze for help.

There was no help for it; when it came to medical ninjutsu, Kurotsuchi was indeed completely ignorant.

"Husband..."

Kurotsuchi murmured in Mizunuki Ryosuke's ear, her pitiful voice making Mizunuki Ryosuke's heart soften.

"This little girl has been getting more and more troublesome lately."

Mizunuki Ryosuke said secretly in his heart.

Seeing this, he smiled helplessly, then raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

Golden radiance flashed, and Kitsuchi instantly recovered as before.

The recovered Kitsuchi slowly crawled up from the ground; not only had his daughter become the woman of his enemy, but Kitsuchi also hadn't expected that he would be treated by this enemy.

Looking at Mizunuki Ryosuke, who was like a god, a trace of gloom flashed completely in his eyes.

At this moment, Kitsuchi understood that he was not only wrong in a mess, but he had also lost completely.

Now that things had come to this, what else did he have to persist for?

Because his mistake had already led to the "misfortune" that happened to Kurotsuchi, how much longer was he going to be stubborn?

"I wish you happiness."

Kitsuchi said to Mizunuki Ryosuke and Kurotsuchi in a hoarse voice; facing his now exceptionally strange daughter and son-in-law, he could only express his attitude with a dry sentence.

Seeing that Kitsuchi had accepted his fate, Mizunuki Ryosuke waved his hand and dispersed the frozen space-time around them.

Time resumed its flow, and everything seemed to return to calm once again.

(Everyone, rest assured, I won't write a dual-line narrative; this "future" plot is just to let the Kurotsuchi-line plot complete its closed loop.) ===== CHAPTER 774 =====
