Chapter 950

"Mizukage, please leave the matter of catching up for later."

"This is a battlefield, and this is a matter between Iwagakure and Takigakure; I hope you will not interfere."

Huang Tu stared closely at Mizunuki Ryosuke and said in a serious tone.

But who would have expected that after Huang Tu's words fell, Mizunuki Ryosuke would slowly shake his head with that indifferent smile.

This action of his also caused Huang Tu's mood to plummet to the bottom.

"Mizunuki Ryosuke, do not go too far!!!"

Huang Tu's gaze was filled with hatred; the burly man felt as if he were about to crush his teeth.

"Tsuchikage, I said I wanted to catch up, but who said I wanted to catch up with you?"

"Oh, that's right, maybe it was my words just now that weren't clear, causing you to have a misconception."

"Now I will say it again."

As he spoke, an interested look appeared on Mizunuki Ryosuke's face.

"I came here to catch up with a partner of my Kirigakure."

"Who would have thought I would run into you here? I was just being polite with you earlier; why did you take it seriously?"

Mizunuki Ryosuke said in a sincere tone, as if that were truly the case.

"You!!!"

Huang Tu was furious and speechless for a moment; how could he have expected that someone as strong as this man would have the perverse hobby of playing word games with him.

"What nonsense are you spouting!"

"Where are there any of your Kirigakure people here!!!"

"Mizunuki Ryosuke, aren't you going a bit too far!!!"

In his shock and anger, Huang Tu had long since lost his composure. His eyes turned red as he stared fixedly at Mizunuki Ryosuke, his roaring voice tinged with a hint of hysteria.

"Then what did you think, that I was joking with you?"

Hearing Huang Tu's accusations, the smile on Mizunuki Ryosuke's face dissipated bit by bit, replaced by an indifferent look that made one's heart tremble.

Seeing Mizunuki Ryosuke's slowly cooling expression, Huang Tu also realized things were going wrong. He immediately regretted his outburst just now, fearing that it would provoke Mizunuki Ryosuke and cause the other party to ignore everything and attack directly.

At this moment, Huang Tu finally regained his calm. Regardless of what plans Mizunuki Ryosuke was making, he knew he must not let Mizunuki Ryosuke find an opportunity to interfere in the current situation.

The Iwagakure ninja were about to achieve a complete victory; such a mishap must not happen at this critical moment!

"Fourth Mizukage! This is a battlefield!"

"The matter you speak of concerns the relations between the three great nations. If you speak like this without reason, are you trying to betray the treaty we established in the Land of Lightning?"

A flash of inspiration suddenly struck Huang Tu's mind; seemingly having thought of something, he narrowed his eyes and questioned Mizunuki Ryosuke again.

And this sentence of Huang Tu's undoubtedly went straight to the key point.

Hearing Huang Tu's words, a flash of surprise crossed Mizunuki Ryosuke's eyes; he had not expected Huang Tu to be able to come up with a way to restrain him while in a panic.

It seems that during this recent period, Huang Tu, having become the Fourth Tsuchikage, has received plenty of training and has improved quite a bit.

Whether it was Huang Tu, currently the Fourth Tsuchikage, or Mizunuki Ryosuke, the Fourth Mizukage, their status and position destined that their every word and action represented far more than just their own individual stance.

Undoubtedly, Mizunuki Ryosuke, who appeared on this battlefield at this moment, was alone. If he, as the Mizukage, were to openly interfere in this war, it would undoubtedly mean that Kirigakure of the Land of Water was openly interfering in the war between Takigakure and Iwagakure.

And most importantly, Kirigakure had absolutely no reason to interfere. If Mizunuki Ryosuke were to act rashly, it would undoubtedly be an open violation of the ceasefire agreement recently established by the three Kage of Lightning, Earth, and Water in the Land of Lightning.

If Kirigakure actively violated the ceasefire agreement and attacked Iwagakure, Huang Tu would have every reason to follow suit and tear up the agreement, refusing to pay the series of reparations mentioned in it.

In other words, Huang Tu's questioning at this moment occupied the moral high ground of "righteousness," especially since it also interfered with the Land of Lightning's Kumogakure, which was the third nation involved.

Because once Iwagakure refused to fulfill the war reparations because Kirigakure actively violated the agreement, then Kumogakure would naturally not get their share either; such a thing was naturally unacceptable to Kumogakure.

So, after all is said and done, it is actually a question of "justification."

And could this possibly stump Mizunuki Ryosuke? The look of surprise in his eyes flashed and vanished, replaced by an indifferent smile.

Mizunuki Ryosuke glanced indifferently at Huang Tu.

Isn't it just "justification" you want? I will give it to you now.

"Huang Tu, you are going too far!"

"Who was the one who broke the agreement first? You probably know better than I do!"

At this moment, Mizunuki Ryosuke instead became directly angry, unceremoniously berating Huang Tu, leaving the caught-off-guard Huang Tu stunned on the spot.

"???!!!"

At this moment, Huang Tu wished he could just spit out a mouthful of old blood.

You suddenly jump out to interfere in the battle, save the Takigakure leader, and then turn around and rake me over the coals to accuse him; where is your shame?

He had never seen such a shameless person!

Mizunuki Ryosuke seemed to know Huang Tu's internal resentment, and he spoke up again.

"I said it earlier, I came to find someone to catch up."

"That person is an important partner of my Kirigakure, and now you have beaten him into a serious injury."

"Naturally, I must uphold justice!"

Mizunuki Ryosuke said righteously, his expression full of integrity.

At this moment, a flash of ominous premonition crossed Huang Tu's heart.

Sure enough, after the words fell, Mizunuki Ryosuke turned his head directly and spoke to the Takigakure leader, who was being rescued behind him, with a gentle smile.

"Isn't that right, Mr. Leader."

The "that guy" Mizunuki Ryosuke was about to say almost slipped out; fortunately, he pulled back from the brink in time and changed the form of address, otherwise, he would have almost made a fool of himself.

"???"

Takigakure leader: "???"
