This Water Shadow is very strong, but overly cautious.

"Where's Duff? Let him come see me."

The hedgehog-head responded with a cold voice.

But who knew that when the man heard his words, an ugly expression appeared on his face.

Dafta

Dafta

The man hesitated to speak, with an awkward look on his face.

"what happened!"

The hedgehog-headed man's expression suddenly became extremely ugly, and his ferocious face was full of murderous intent.

"Duff is dead."

The man wiped the cold sweat from his face and said quietly.

In an instant, a terrifying aura emerged from the hedgehog-headed man's entire body.

"I want you to tell me exactly how Duff died!"

The hedgehog-head spoke through gritted teeth, and the last few words seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.

"Yes"

Hearing this, the man naturally did not dare to refuse.

Chapter 20, Dirty Deal

Kirigakure, Anbu Building.

In the pitch-black darkness, Karuju Yagura was whispering with a man hidden in a black robe.

In order to prevent any possibility of conversations being eavesdropped, the surroundings were sealed off using secret techniques.

"How are your preparations going?"

"The time is almost ripe, and the opportunity is fleeting."

"You have to hurry."

Karatachi Yagura whispered to the man on the opposite side, without any unnecessary emotion in his tone.

"Please rest assured, Lord Kari has already rushed over from the Iwagakure."

"Everything is ready. As long as you are ready, we can start at any time."

The man under the cloak raised his head, and the bright forehead protector on his forehead could still be seen clearly even in such a dim environment.

On the forehead guard, there are two square rock patterns, representing the Hidden Rock Village in the Land of Earth.

"Hunting from the Iwagakure Explosion Force?"

"very good"

A hideous smile that was extremely inconsistent with his appearance appeared on the baby face of Goji Yagura.

"but"

Suddenly, the Iwa Ninja looked embarrassed, as if he wanted to say something.

"But what?"

The expression on Goji Yagura's face froze and his expression gradually became gloomy.

He never expected that the other party would raise the price at the last minute.

"Master Shou has another unwelcome request."

"I hope you will allow me to do so."

The Iwa Ninja spoke again and made a request to Karatachi Yagura.

"Say!"

This time, Goji Yagura's tone was as cold as the ice in the coldest days of winter, and there was even a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

"Master Hunter hopes to capture the murderer of Stone-Small Duff."

"We promise that as long as we get this person, we will never offer any more conditions."

The Iwa nin replied hastily.

Hearing the voice, Karuju Yagura's expression gradually recovered, but his voice was still cold.

"Stone Crushing Tatsufu? He's just a jonin. Why would Kari seek revenge for him?"

Hearing Karatachi Yagura's question, the Iwagakure seemed a little hesitant, but in the end he spoke slowly.

"Because Dafu is Mr. Kari's younger brother."

Finally, after a long silence, a cold voice slowly spoke.

"it is good!"

"But remember, no mistakes are allowed!"

"I think the famous blasting troop in the ninja world will not let me down."

As the words fell, a dirty deal was concluded.

"Aiyaah~"

"Yakura-chan's heart is so dark, almost even darker than yours!"

From deeper underground, a somewhat vulgar voice slowly commented.

"Hehe, when it comes to black, of course I'm darker."

"Don't you even look at my name?"

Another hoarse voice sounded slowly, responding to the mean voice.

"That's right."

"But~"

"Let's go report to Grandpa~"

The mean voice spoke again.

"Well, it won't be long before he can completely control Kirigakure."

As the hoarse voice answered, a "monster" walked out of the darkness.

The conversation just now also came from this "monster".

I saw this strange-looking thing, which had a human-like appearance but a unique organ like a pitcher plant.

At the same time, the entire appearance appears in two colors, black and white. It seems to be a whole, but it also seems like two completely different parts.

It looks extremely discordant.

Whether it was "one" or "two" monsters, they stopped talking nonsense and immediately used their abilities to escape deeper into the ground.

More than half a month has passed since Mizunoe Ryosuke's team resumed work.

During this period, thanks to the outstanding strength of the team members, the team has completed two tasks, which can be regarded as a certain degree of team running-in.

Because they are an elite team, they are naturally not like Team 7 in the original novel, who do D-level tasks such as helping old ladies cross the street and looking for cats and dogs.

Under Mizunoe Ryosuke's suggestion, they each completed a C-level mission to clear out bandits and a B-level mission to escort a caravan.

During the escort process, they were attacked by several defected Taki ninjas.

In the process of fighting side by side, the team members got to know each other.

Especially Mei Terumi and Mitsuhiko Mizunoe, they also gave Mizunoe Ryosuke the impression in their hearts that he was "a gentle, non-confrontational, and extremely stable person."

But today, the village suddenly issued a mission to the team, and Ryosuke Mizunoe was summoned by the Mizukage.

After taking on the task, the team members set off in a group.

It's worth mentioning that the content of the mission is a bit weird.

Because the content is about hunting down rebellious ninjas!

"Captain, why was the mission to hunt down the rebel ninja assigned to us?"

On the way, Mei Terumi asked Mizunoe Ryosuke in confusion, with her exposed left eye full of doubts.

There's a reason for Mei Terumi's problem.

Tasks like hunting down rebellious ninjas are usually not the responsibility of a ninja squad.

Because there are Anbu who are specifically responsible for this kind of work.

Moreover, such missions usually involve a wide range of matters and may even involve confidential information, so ordinary ninjas will never be given the chance.

On the other side, although Mitsuhiko Mizunoe still held his head high as if he was disdainful, his ears were pricked up high, and it seemed that he was also very confused about this question.

Only Takeda Yoichi still had a silly smile on his face.

"A mission is a mission, just execute it."

"Ninja Rule No. 6: Only do what the mission requires."

But who would have thought that Mizunoe Ryosuke's face turned serious, and he rejected Terumi Mei's words like an old-fashioned person.

"Oh"

Seeing Mizunotsuki's serious face, Terumi Mei had no choice but to lower her head in disappointment.

In response, Mizunoe Ryosuke just rubbed Terumi Mei's head, looked at the loli who rolled her eyes, and gave a gentle smile.

Not letting them know is for their own good.

It's not that simple.

Mizunoe Ryosuke seemed to recall the scene in the Mizukage's office.

(Please give me flowers, votes, and support! Thank you!).

Chapter 21, Weird Mission

On that day, Mizunoe Taki hurriedly sent someone to summon Mizunoe Ryosuke, who had just completed a B-level mission, to the Mizukage's office.

Mizunoe Ryosuke didn't care about anything else and could only rush to the Mizukage Building without stopping.

With doubts, Mizunoe Ryosuke knocked on the door of this office, which was extremely mysterious to 90% of the Kirigakure ninjas.

Don't ever think that anyone can enter Ying's office.

Normally, the Mizukage would not meet anyone in his office except his confidants.

Strictly speaking, Mizunoe Taki summoned Ryosuke to the Mizukage's office, which was also a gesture of attitude.

After entering the office, Mizunoe Ryosuke first looked around. After all, he was still curious about such a mysterious place.

The result was that Ryosuke Mizunoe was greatly disappointed.

Apart from being slightly larger in size, this is just an ordinary office and there is nothing strange about it.

After all, ninjas are about practicality and restraint.

As a Kage, one should be more low-key. Those who are too ostentatious cannot become ninjas.

Therefore, Mizukage's office does not even look as grand and luxurious as the offices of some big bosses in his previous life.

Mizunotsuki Taki had been waiting for a long time at the main seat in the office.

"cough cough"

"Ryosuke, you're here."

Mizunoe Taki is still the same, looking sick and dying.

He gave a gentle smile when he saw Mizunoe Ryosuke.

Because of Lian as a bond, the relationship between Ryosuke and Mizukage has become much closer at this moment.

"Mitsu-kage-sama, I heard you had something to ask me."

Although Mizunoe Taki had instructed that other titles could be used in private, Ryosuke still adopted a businesslike attitude in the current situation.

"Yes."
