Chapter 90

After leaving the Mist Village, the team, under the leadership of Mizunuki Ryosuke, marched toward the mission location.

At the same time, ice-blue light flickered in Mizunuki Ryosuke's eyes, scouting all around.

Secret Art: Thermal Detection.

"As expected."

After some scouting, Mizunuki Ryosuke sighed to himself in his heart.

It turned out that Mizunuki Ryosuke had long discovered it.

From the moment the mission scroll was delivered to his hand, several ninjas had been monitoring the team's movements at all times.

Until the team members all assembled and then set off from the village, there were two ninjas responsible for tailing them at all times behind them.

What was certain was that these ninjas had no malice, but had other missions.

These ninjas were all ninjas in the Mist who were well-versed in the ways of assassination and concealment; if not for Mizunuki Ryosuke's consistent caution, it would have been difficult to discover their tracks.

Combined with the purpose of this mission, Mizunuki Ryosuke had already vaguely guessed the true meaning of this mission.

It was just that even though he was already well aware, Mizunuki Ryosuke still had no intention of exposing it.

After all, rather than exposing it, it was more interesting to continue following the rules of the game.

Thinking of this, Mizunuki Ryosuke looked at the three "dead weights" beside him, with a hint of a smile hidden in his eyes.

"Captain, what is the content of this mission?"

"Or does the mission have confidentiality regulations?"

Not long after leaving the village, Terumi Mei was the first to ask Mizunuki Ryosuke.

As a ninja who always had high requirements for herself, Terumi Mei hoped to have a clear understanding of the mission situation.

At the same time, Terumi Mei also knew that some missions had confidentiality regulations, meaning only the person who received the mission scroll could know the inside story, and even team members could not be informed.

Precisely because of this, Terumi Mei tentatively asked Ryosuke.

Hearing Terumi Mei's question, Mizunuki Ryosuke had no intention of hiding it.

Instead, he simply took advantage of the gap in the march to announce the mission content to the team members.

When Ryosuke's team was already heading toward the mission destination, Mizunuki Eiro and Hozuki Mangetsu also left the Mist Village one after another with their team members.

At the same time, the Mist Ninja Village.

All Jonin received an emergency order at almost the same time.

The content of the order was to immediately assemble at the Jonin conference room of the Water Shadow building.

The Jonin arrived at the Jonin conference room of the Water Shadow building with sleepy eyes and confusion.

After everyone arrived, Maeda Tian Yuanshi appeared in the conference room.

The moment Maeda Tian Yuanshi appeared in the conference room, a pale purple barrier directly surrounded the conference room from the outside.

At this moment, the interior of the conference room was sealed into a space isolated from the outside world.

"Team Leader Maeda, what is the meaning of this?"

Seeing the conference room sealed, a Jonin immediately couldn't sit still and stood up to question Maeda Tian Yuanshi.

"Everyone, please calm down."

"Please do not worry, I will explain later."

Maeda Tian Yuanshi said slowly with a serious and stiff zombie face, without a smile.

At the same time, under Maeda Tian Yuanshi's signal, three huge water curtains suddenly appeared in the center of the Mist Jonin conference room.

Seeing this, the Jonin were all shocked.

"This is..."

"Water Curtain Image Technique?"

A Jonin exclaimed.

Soon, clear scenes appeared in the water curtain.

The Mist Jonin looked in surprise, only to see that the images appearing in the water curtain were exactly the three teams of Mizunuki Ryosuke and others.

"Everyone, now I will explain to you."

"The purpose of gathering everyone here late at night."

At this time, Maeda Tian Yuanshi suddenly spoke to everyone.

Everyone then adjusted their mindset and listened quietly to Maeda Tian Yuanshi's explanation.

"In fact, gathering everyone here late at night is only for one thing."

"That is the issue of the candidate for Water Shadow."

"Everyone, please look at the scrolls in front of you."

Hearing Maeda Tian Yuanshi's words, everyone discovered that many unopened mission scrolls were placed on the table.

A Jonin opened the scroll, and the first thing that caught his eye was a big "S."

"This is..."

A burst of exclamations suddenly came from the crowd.

Immediately, the Jonin continued to read the content of the scroll.

Mission Name: Retrieve the "Water Shadow Secret Scroll"

Mission Level: S (Note: The mission level is the highest level, the mission is extremely dangerous!)

Mission Requirement: Complete in the form of a ninja team.

Mission Content: Legend has it that the First Water Shadow, Bai Lian, after establishing the Mist Village, recorded a large number of secret ninjutsu in the "Water Shadow Secret Scroll." Before the First died, he even left a will saying that whoever could master the "Water Shadow Secret Scroll" could master all the forbidden arts of the Mist!

According to intelligence, ninjas recently discovered that the "Water Shadow Secret Scroll" might be hidden in the land of XXX, please ninjas who receive the mission must retrieve the "Water Shadow Secret Scroll" at all costs!

Note! The mission location is extremely dangerous, the hiding place of the "Water Shadow Secret Scroll" has a large number of dangerous guards!

After reading this "top secret" mission scroll, a group of Jonin looked at each other, staring wide-eyed.

They didn't know what medicine Maeda Tian Yuanshi was selling in his gourd.

This was the first time they had seen such a public S-level "top secret" mission.

At the same time, many senior ninjas were scratching their heads, carefully recalling the rumors in their minds.

Thinking and thinking, they still felt that they had never heard of anything like the "Water Shadow Secret Scroll" in the Mist Village before.

"As everyone can see."

"The village has issued the missions in front of you to the three teams on the water curtain to execute."

"Next, the water curtain will record the performance of each of the three teams."

"Everyone has probably guessed that this mission is the final 'Water Shadow assessment'."

"After the mission ends, everyone can vote based on the performance of the three teams."

"The final vote result, the person with the most votes is the Fourth Water Shadow!"

Maeda Tian Yuanshi said very seriously, and when his voice fell, everyone understood the deep meaning behind it.

Immediately, everyone was in an uproar.

"To ensure fairness."

"During the mission, no one can leave this office!"

"To prevent anyone from tipping off the three teams currently on the mission."

"I hope everyone can overcome this."

After Maeda Tian Yuanshi finished speaking, everyone knew why the office was sealed by a barrier.

When everyone understood the situation, they all understood the village's approach.

At the same time, their attention was also attracted by this innovative "Water Shadow assessment."

In the crowd, Kuroshima Morita suddenly remembered that before coming to attend the meeting, Mizunuki Ryosuke's Water Clone had found him first.

Instructing him to "calm down."

Could it be...

Seeming to have thought of something, Kuroshima Morita revealed a smile.

On the other side, the three teams executing the mission seemed completely unaware that their mission process was being "live-streamed."

Instead, they were all rushing toward the mission location with all their might.
