Chapter 960

But in fact, not everyone can be a "smart person."

A Takigakure elder saw Mizunuki Ryosuke's gentle expression and mistakenly thought this was an easy-going master, so he immediately spoke up and questioned Mizunuki Ryosuke without any tact.

"Lord Mizukage, we will definitely remember your kindness in saving Takigakure from danger."

"But when will you return the Seven-Tails to Takigakure? After all, this was a plan formulated by the first Kage during the ninja world summit in the past."

"The Seven-Tails should remain in Takigakure."

As soon as these words were spoken, the room fell silent. The remaining Takigakure elders looked at this "reckless ghost" with somewhat surprised expressions.

Especially the Takigakure leader Shibu; the look in his eyes as he gazed at this elder was tinged with a bit of complexity.

Regardless of whether he was truly reckless or pretending to be, for Takigakure, these words had to be said by someone.

Hearing the Takigakure elder's face-to-face questioning, Mizunuki Ryosuke's eyes flickered slightly.

This Takigakure elder's questioning was not just a simple question; he was indeed right. When the Tailed Beasts were distributed during the ninja world summit, it was not just a matter for the First Hokage Senju Hashirama alone.

Although this was the First Hokage Senju Hashirama's proposal, the first generation of the other four major ninja villages all agreed with Senju Hashirama's proposal and agreed to the terms within it.

So in the eyes of Takigakure, the Seven-Tails was originally Takigakure's thing. Now that the battle was over and it had fallen into Mizunuki Ryosuke's hands, it was only natural for Takigakure to demand it back.

If Mizunuki Ryosuke really wanted to occupy the Seven-Tails now, it would be tantamount to violating the resolution of the First Mizukage back then.

Although these words sounded righteous, if one thought about it carefully, it was actually quite ridiculous.

Not to mention how many years the First Mizukage had been dead, and how many generations the Mizukage of Kirigakure had changed, the influence of the First Mizukage Byakuren on Kirigakure at this moment was extremely limited.

Just now, why didn't this elder say these words to the Iwagakure ninja who invaded Takigakure, but instead said them to Mizunuki Ryosuke, who had saved Takigakure?

It was nothing more than seeing Mizunuki Ryosuke's refined appearance and thinking he was easy to talk to.

So sometimes, "people are bullied because they are kind," and this saying is not false at all. But in fact, is Mizunuki Ryosuke really an easy-going master?

After Mizunuki Ryosuke's gaze flickered slightly, he slowly raised a finger and tapped it lightly.

There was no need for any response at all; an extremely fine stream of water burst from his fingertip. Although it looked inconspicuous, this stream of water contained extremely terrifying high pressure, and its power was no worse than a bullet fired from a gun barrel.

This move had quite a bit of the flavor of the "Six Meridian Divine Sword" from the martial arts novels of Mr. Jin Yong in his previous life.

"BANG!!!!"

The torrent directly pierced through the elder's skull, and red and white matter poured out from the hole in his skull; one didn't even need to look to know he was dead beyond all hope.

Because Mizunuki Ryosuke's movements were too fast, let alone the other Takigakure elders and Shibu not reacting in time, even this elder still had that righteous look on his face even after he died.

"You, you actually!!!!"

They had originally thought that this Mizukage was an easy-going master compared to the aggressive Tsuchikage, but they never expected that this person was even more brutal than the Tsuchikage! He would kill people if they didn't agree!

Shibu did not speak, but the shock and coldness in his heart were no less than that of the Takigakure elders.

The matter had already happened; as the leader of Takigakure, even if he knew he was no match, Shibu naturally couldn't pretend not to see it.

He took a deep breath and stared closely at Mizunuki Ryosuke, whose face remained indifferent.

Although he had long seen that this Mizukage was not a simple person, and even harder to deal with than the Tsuchikage who had retreated, he never expected that Mizunuki Ryosuke was more than ten times more troublesome than Huang Tu!

"Lord Mizukage, aren't you going a bit too far?"

"This is Takigakure; how can you kill my Takigakure elder here?"

"Shouldn't you give me an explanation for this?"

Shibu said everything in one breath. At this moment, his cold sweat had already soaked his entire back. Don't look at his expression, which was still solemn, but his legs had already started to tremble uncontrollably.

After all, even he was afraid that Mizunuki Ryosuke would take action again if they didn't agree. And his questioning words were also very interesting; Mizunuki Ryosuke had killed a Takigakure elder, and all he demanded was an "explanation."

So what counts as an "explanation"? A smile appeared in Mizunuki Ryosuke's eyes.

Shibu's approach was clearly intended to give Mizunuki Ryosuke a way to step down, and then turn the page on this matter directly.

But would Mizunuki Ryosuke follow the "steps" Shibu gave him and come down directly?

The answer is simple: yes, and no.

To incorporate Takigakure, it was nothing more than the set of methods Mizunuki Ryosuke was familiar with. Kill the chicken to warn the monkey, and then combine kindness with severity. And undoubtedly, this elder who died miserably was the "chicken" Mizunuki Ryosuke had chosen.

Now, it was undoubtedly the stage for Mizunuki Ryosuke to show his power, and he had his own set of plans for how to do it.

"Stupid!"

Ryosuke spoke slowly, the gentleness on his face fading, replaced by a coldness that made one's heart tremble.

The two cold words had no temperature at all, and even Shibu wondered if he had misheard. After killing someone if they didn't agree, he actually scolded them for being stupid? Was this Mizukage trying to tear his face off directly?

Shibu was shocked, and the atmosphere in the room directly became sinister.

"I really didn't expect that in the great Takigakure, there isn't a single person with foresight who understands the ways of the world."

"Takigakure having this disaster today can be considered natural."

"I helped you get rid of such a worm, and you don't thank me, but instead have reasons to blame me?"

Before Shibu could speak, a look of great disappointment appeared on Mizunuki Ryosuke's face, and then he threw out such a speech.

Takigakure elders: "???"

Leader Shibu: "???"

This speech by Mizunuki Ryosuke was something everyone had never expected.

What? You killed one of our elders, and I still have to thank you?

Shibu was so angry that his body trembled for a time, but the most fatal thing was that he simply didn't have the guts to fall out with Mizunuki Ryosuke.

Therefore, he could only pinch his nose, choose to turn the page on this matter, and continue to give Mizunuki Ryosuke a way to step down.

The other Takigakure elders also looked angry but didn't dare to speak. There is no such reason in the world; you killed someone, and instead of feeling guilty or apologizing, you actually publicly accused them and wanted them to thank you (Qian Lizhao)?!

"Lord Mizukage, why do you say that?"

Shibu asked with a trembling voice; he was really afraid that he wouldn't be able to hold back and would scream in anger.

Hearing Shibu's words, Mizunuki Ryosuke shook his head helplessly.

"I didn't expect you to not even be able to understand such a simple truth."

""

Takigakure elders: ""

"The truth is actually very simple: an innocent man is innocent, but his treasure makes him a criminal."

"With the current Takigakure, do you think you can still guard the Seven-Tails?"

"Don't talk about that; I'm afraid you have even lost the ability to suppress the Seven-Tails."

"And in the vast ninja world, you should be clear about how many people covet the power of the Tailed Beasts."
