Chapter 882

From an angle Mizunuki Ryosuke couldn't see, she glared fiercely at him with an exasperated look, her large, clear eyes practically spitting fire.

"Bastard!"

"It's already generous of me to serve you, and you still dare to be picky!"

"And the pressure is too light? Do you believe I'll crush you to death!!!"

The young girl shouted inwardly, seemingly wishing she could immediately stab Mizunuki Ryosuke.

But soon, seemingly afraid of being discovered by Mizunuki Ryosuke, she immediately feigned a well-behaved smile with a guilty conscience, then obediently moved her small hands lower and increased the pressure slightly.

Unfortunately, it was all just impotent rage in the end.

"Mmm."

Seemingly satisfied with the massage after the little maid adjusted the pressure and position, Mizunuki Ryosuke let out a nasal sound.

Hearing this, Kurotsuchi was even more furious.

"Scumbag!!!"

"And here I thought you might actually be a good person!"

Seemingly remembering something, Kurotsuchi's gaze became somewhat complex, but soon, her resolve hardened once again.

"I'll crush you! Crush you! Crush you!!!!"

The little maid kept encouraging herself inwardly with mental victory, as if the next strike would directly "finish off" Mizunuki Ryosuke.

Such unyielding determination was enough to make listeners weep and observers grieve.

Of course, perhaps the "crush you" Kurotsuchi spoke of in her heart actually meant she wanted to make Mizunuki Ryosuke die of pure comfort.

Bullying the little maid was just an insignificant interlude and not Mizunuki Ryosuke's true purpose.

He had serious business to attend to this time.

Without hesitation, Mizunuki Ryosuke took out a large batch of secret intelligence sent by the White Shark Unit and began to read it carefully.

Mizunuki Ryosuke's action made the look in Kurotsuchi's eyes behind him increasingly complex, because at such close range, she only needed a slight glance to see the top-secret intelligence in his hands.

With Mizunuki Ryosuke's methods, how could he not know this?

Whether he did this intentionally or unintentionally, it signaled one thing to Kurotsuchi.

What did this mean?

It meant that Mizunuki Ryosuke didn't seem to treat her as an outsider at all, as he could be so unreserved with such confidential intelligence in front of her.

Kurotsuchi wasn't stupid; she suddenly recalled some information she had learned through Kuroshima Morita, and her heart became even more conflicted.

Although it might sound absurd, it seemed possible that...

The "Great Demon God" might actually be a "good person."

Setting aside Kurotsuchi's complex emotions, Mizunuki Ryosuke's attention had already shifted to the intelligence in his hands.

This intelligence came from Kirigakure, a summary of the recent situation from the Great Elder Tian Yuanshi.

Judging from this intelligence, whether it was the iron-sand trade with Sunagakure and the Land of Iron, or the previous material transactions with the Rain ninjas and Kumogakure, Kirigakure had made a fortune.

The massive profits surprised even Mizunuki Ryosuke, and he also noted that the iron-sand trade continued to grow steadily as the Ninja World War raged on.

This was to be expected; after all, with the Ninja World now in turmoil, the demand for weapons in every nation was expanding, and it was no surprise that the Land of Iron, as a weapon manufacturer, was thirsty for raw materials.

After a rough reading, Mizunuki Ryosuke set the intelligence aside.

He turned to look at other content.

Another piece of intelligence came from the White Shark Unit, primarily concerning the recent movements of the Rain ninjas and Sunagakure's intention to surrender.

Sunagakure's defeat did not surprise Mizunuki Ryosuke.

And Sunagakure's defeat also meant that the Second Ninja World War, which Mizunuki Ryosuke knew from the plot, was nearing its end.

In the Ninja World, Sunagakure and Iwagakure had officially announced their defeat, leaving only the Rain ninjas still putting up a desperate resistance.

To anyone, the Rain ninjas had lost their momentum and could no longer stir up any trouble; the Ninja World War would gradually draw to a close.

Konoha continued to maintain its status as the hegemon.

But when Mizunuki Ryosuke saw this intelligence, he smiled—a very bright smile.

Because he knew that for him, this "Ninja World War" was only just entering its climax.

The many backup plans he had laid out were finally ready to erupt. ===== CHAPTER 884 =====
