Chapter 991: ...guards and successors

After experiencing a period of waiting, Mizunuki Ryosuke no longer struggled, but instead took out a huge summoning scroll.

Because he rushed between the Land of Lightning, the Land of Rain, and the Land of Waterfall, the itinerary was too hurried, so no one followed him.

Therefore, at the Ninja World talk tomorrow morning, there was no such role as a guard beside him.

And if a dignified Mizukage doesn't even have a guard at the Ninja World talk, wouldn't it be a bit shameful? So Mizunuki Ryosuke should also consider the candidate for the guard at the talk tomorrow.

Fortunately, although there is no one available, Mizunuki Ryosuke, who carries the Ninja Cat clan summoning scroll, can use the Land of Cats as a transit station and use the reverse summoning method to summon other Kirigakure ninjas who have also signed a contract with the Ninja Cat clan.

"Who should I let come?"

Mizunuki Ryosuke nodded slightly and thought deeply. At the scene tomorrow, the identity of "guard" is not just a bodyguard. It also represents a political commitment and a recognition of ascending to the position of Mizukage in the future.

Among the other two major countries attending the Ninja World talk, whether it is Bee, who is the guard of the Raikage, or Rasa, who is the guard of the Kazekage, they both inherited the position of the Kage of their respective villages in the future.

Kirigakure is now thriving, and Mizunuki Ryosuke is at his peak, so it seems there is no need to consider the matter of the next Mizukage.

But some things, in the end, must have a statement.

Moreover, the most important thing is that with Ryosuke's personality, the so-called power often represents "trouble." He sat in the position of Mizukage just because he had no choice.

After he creates the situation he wants, it should be his turn to lie flat. By then, retiring to the fields is naturally the best choice.

Therefore, perhaps he should indeed consider the candidate for the successor of Mizukage. This Ninja World talk is indeed a good opportunity.

But for Kirigakure, which is full of talents, who should he choose?

For a time, Mizunuki Ryosuke's eyes flickered.

If you look at his personal relationship and current combat power, the candidate for Mizukage guard this time should naturally fall on either Hoshigaki Kisame or Kaguya Yuta.

But although these two perfectly meet the needs of "guard," from another point of view, there are certain flaws in their respective personalities, which are not enough to take on heavy responsibilities.

And from the perspective of a successor, the most suitable one is undoubtedly Hozuki Mangetsu, who has competed with Mizunuki Ryosuke for Mizukage and whose strength is now only second to Ryosuke.

Hozuki Mangetsu, whether it is prestige, strength, means, or other aspects...

(Note)

But after thinking about it, Mizunuki Ryosuke still shook his head secretly.

It's not that Hozuki Mangetsu is not suitable, but because he is too suitable, it is not stable.

Because Mizunuki Ryosuke is considering the candidate for the "future" next Mizukage, not the man who can take his place "now."

Moreover, he had never communicated with Hozuki Mangetsu about this matter before. If he rashly mobilized Hozuki Mangetsu, it might cause misunderstandings.

It is not that he doubts Hozuki Mangetsu's loyalty, but that some things should have been dissipated into nothingness.

Even excluding these people, in terms of strength and potential, Mizunuki Ryosuke still has many people he can choose from.

For example, Momochi Zabuza, whose strength is already different from the original story under his training.

For example, his eldest apprentice, Mizunuki Mitsuhiko, who is now the head of the Mizunuki clan. From the perspective of the clan, perhaps passing the Mizukage position to Mitsuhiko is also a good result.

Especially if the Mizunuki clan produces three generations of Mizukage in the future, it is even more likely to become a beautiful story in the Ninja World.

But it's a pity...

The relationship between the Mizunuki clan and Ryosuke is already in a very awkward position. Although Ryosuke didn't intend to pursue the past, it doesn't mean he intends to skip it directly.

And if he summoned Mitsuhiko this time, it would probably make some old immortals in the Mizunuki clan have some illusions, which would add trouble, so this proposal was directly rejected by him in his heart.

After thinking about it, Mizunuki Ryosuke finally made up his mind. In his heart, he finally decided on the most suitable candidate!

The next morning, after breakfast, led by the samurai of the Land of Iron, everyone participating in the talk stepped into the venue one after another.

This is a huge secret room specially treated by the Land of Iron. Under the isolation of the secret room, ordinary investigation ninjutsu cannot penetrate the walls to see what happened inside.

In the center of the spacious secret room, a huge round table is placed in the center, and six chairs are placed on the side of the round table, corresponding to the symbols of their respective forces.

It is clearly the six characters of Water, Lightning, Wind, Iron, Rain, and Waterfall.

Soon, the Third Raikage and others sat in their positions one after another.

The arrangement of seats in the meeting is very particular. The seat with the word Water, symbolizing the Mizukage, is in the main seat, and the position where the Third Raikage sits is on the right hand of Mizunuki Ryosuke.

And on the left side of the Water seat, of course, is the Kazekage position with the word Wind. ===== CHAPTER 993 =====
