event.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, under the busy work of Rikka and Ren, a table full of sumptuous dinner was prepared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three then stayed behind to share the dinner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding the decision Mizunuki Ryosuke made to take a disciple, Ren and Rikka did not express any opinions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since it was Ryosuke's decision, the two naturally trusted him absolutely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The meal was eaten in a harmonious atmosphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, during the meal, looking at the affectionate Ren and Ryosuke, Terumi Mei's eyes were slightly strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, ever since entering Ryosuke's house, Terumi Mei's words had significantly decreased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coupled with the fact that Mizunuki Hikohiko himself was a taciturn person, the heavy burden of adjusting the atmosphere fell on Takeda Yoichi alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made Takeda Yoichi, who was not good with words, suffer endlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"harmonious\" dinner had just ended, and just as Mizunuki Ryosuke was preparing to see the three off, his eyes suddenly changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Knock knock!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A knocking sound rang out at Mizunuki Ryosuke's door. \"593\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, it was Mizunuki Ryosuke who came to open the door himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Opening the door, a ninja wearing pitch-black night-traveling clothes and an Mist Anbu mask appeared in Ryosuke's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Special Jonin Mizunuki Ryosuke, this is a special mission from the highest level of the Mist, please accept it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The level of this mission is the highest S-level, concerning the Water Shadow assessment, please take it seriously.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, the Mist Anbu ninja gave a mission scroll and then disappeared on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Receiving the mission scroll, a trace of solemnity flashed in Mizunuki Ryosuke's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly opened the mission scroll, and after scanning the mission content, the mission scroll automatically destroyed itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mizunuki Ryosuke's mind was rapidly organizing the mission intelligence while thinking about countermeasures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This mission did not specify any special requirements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or rather, there was only one requirement, which was that this mission must be completed in the form of a team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the mission level was the highest S-level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An S-level mission represented the highest level and most difficult mission among the five great ninja villages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Picking any mission from the S-level would be a mission that even Shadow-level powerhouses would not have the confidence to complete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example: assassinating the Third Fire Shadow, capturing the One-Tail Shukaku, and so on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The S-level missions that appeared in the original work were also few and far between, but all had extremely significant meanings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And regarding the description of the S-level mission in the scroll, Mizunuki Ryosuke pondered quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had never heard of an S-level mission being linked to the Water Shadow assessment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, he suddenly smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryosuke seemed to know what the so-called S-level mission meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Mizunuki Ryosuke turned his gaze to the three team members who had just eaten their fill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, there's an S-level mission here, are you interested in joining?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mizunuki Ryosuke said to the three with a smile, but who knew that upon hearing this, the three were shocked at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the panicked expressions of the three, Mizunuki Ryosuke revealed a satisfied smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At the same time, Mizunuki Eiro and Hozuki Mangetsu also received mission scrolls distributed by ninjas who came to their doors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After reading the mission scrolls, a sharp light flashed in both of their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two quickly knew the significance of the mission and also read the \"loophole\" in this mission from the information in the mission scroll.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mission only said it had to be completed in the form of a team, but it never said the team members were fixed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, as long as it was completed with a team of four, the personnel didn't have a clear fixed requirement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So immediately, the two began to summon the most powerful ninjas under their command.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unsurprisingly, Hozuki Mangetsu summoned three members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were Kushimaru Kuriarare of the Blunt Sword: Kabutowari, Jinpachi Munashi of the Blast Sword: Shibuki, and Mangetsu's own brother, Suikazan Fuguki of the Twin Swords: Hiramekarei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the way, the dwarf-like Hozuki Kusakari had a dual identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was both a member of the Hozuki clan and a user of one of the Seven Ninja Swords.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hozuki Mangetsu, plus three members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, the strength of Hozuki Mangetsu's team could not be described as anything but terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One must know that every member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen was at least at the Elite Jonin level, and with the addition of the ninja swords, their combat power was even more terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, Mizunuki Eiro also summoned three Mizunuki Jonin, one of whom even had Elite Jonin-level strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, Mizunuki Eiro could have summoned three Elite Jonin-level Mizunuki ninjas to help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But due to the previous changes, his prestige had been severely hit, so he had to settle for second best.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, the strength of Mizunuki Eiro's team was still not to be underestimated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As ninjas of the same Mizunuki clan, their compatible attributes were enough to achieve perfect coordination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mizunuki Ryosuke!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's wait and see!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the team assembled, a ruthless look flashed in Mizunuki Eiro's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Mizunuki Ryosuke had already brought his team to the gate of the Mist Village, asking the team members if they were ready for the mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Captain...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"S-level mission, are we...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Takeda Yoichi looked hesitant, without a shred of confidence in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, he knew very well in his heart that with his strength, completing an S-level mission was a bit too much of a stretch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, Terumi Mei's face also carried some hesitation, but it was much better compared to Takeda Yoichi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Mizunuki Hikohiko had his eyes completely submerged in excitement at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Takeda Yoichi \"spoiling the mood\" at this critical moment, Mizunuki Hikohiko said with dissatisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey! Takeda!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you're afraid of death, why become a ninja?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is an S-level mission! How many ninjas are qualified to execute an S-level mission!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is a rare experience!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the brainwashing-style elite education of the clan, Mizunuki Hikohiko craved the honor of completing an S-level mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This also fit Hikohiko's own competitive personality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And according to what Ryosuke knew, Mizunuki Hikohiko hadn't executed many missions due to his background, and he didn't know the cruelty of missions at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, he simply hadn't been \"beaten by society.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, the smile in Mizunuki Ryosuke's eyes became more and more obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What I wanted was this simple look of yours, just right to stir up trouble in it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mizunuki Ryosuke said to himself in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike Mizunuki Hikohiko, Terumi Mei and Takeda Yoichi, who were born as commoners, cared more about the danger of the S-level mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially Terumi Mei, who knew the danger of high-level missions naturally after the last A-level mission led to the total annihilation of her team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? Scared by just this little setback?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mizunuki Ryosuke said with a smile, his eyes sweeping toward Terumi Mei, with a hint of deep meaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing Mizunuki Ryosuke's provocation, and not wanting to be compared to Mizunuki Hikohiko.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Terumi Mei gritted her teeth and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's just an S-level mission! I won't be afraid!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Terumi Mei crossed her arms and turned her head away, looking like she was acting spoiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that the other two had already agreed, Takeda Yoichi revealed a smile that was uglier than crying, and could only tremble as he responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"O-okay...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mizunuki Ryosuke's team, assembly complete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the luxurious configuration of Hozuki Mangetsu and Mizunuki Eiro's teams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strength of Ryosuke's team members, who were all Chunin on average, could simply be described as miserable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subsequently, the team of four left the Mist Village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Mizunuki Ryosuke split into two Water Clones, informing Kaguya Ichiro and Kuroshima Morita about the Water Shadow assessment respectively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving the order of \"don't act rashly,\" Mizunuki Ryosuke didn't say anything more and headed toward the mission target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, Mizunuki Ryosuke was not unaware of the \"team-up loophole\" in the mission scroll.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it wasn't that he had no one to use; after all, with the support of the Kaguya clan and Kuroshima Morita, Mizunuki Ryosuke could still mobilize several Elite Jonin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But clearly, Ryosuke's approach had other deep meanings.\u003C\u002Fp>",1415,"2026-06-17T04:30:30.011Z","2026-06-17T05:05:37.377Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","ff13716f0b88bafd9c125ba98a83c593b92bf8029573314b58b30005fdb234df","this-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-chapter-90","this-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-chapter-88",533,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-cover.jpg"]
