This Water Shadow is very strong, but overly cautious.

Finally, Bi could no longer bear it, and while Master Maeda was drinking water, he immediately spoke out in an attempt to interrupt Master Maeda and end this story that can be called the "750 Ordeal".

"Huh? What?"

"You actually knew that what I was going to talk about next was 'Proposals and Construction Guidelines for the Seventh Expansion of the Hidden Mist Village' and 'Budget and Precautions for the Construction of the Hidden Mist Village Drainage Project'?"

Master Maeda raised his eyebrows and read out a long string of boring things that sounded overwhelming.

"No no no!!!"

Upon seeing this, Bi immediately waved his hands to refuse Master Maeda. He couldn't imagine whether he could bear it after listening to Master Maeda's story.

At the same time, Samoyed and Troy, who had been tortured by Maeda Genshi's "Tang Monk Chanting Sutra" and were in a trance, stood up and subconsciously hid in the corner of the room, trembling.

At this moment, Master Maeda had become equated with "devil" in the eyes of the two.

Being able to tell such a boring and lengthy story in a serious manner and still enjoying it, this person must be a demon, right?!

"Well, please forgive our rudeness!"

"Excuse me, Elder Maeda!"

At that moment, Bi didn't bother to wait for Master Maeda's reply. He instantly activated the rapid mode of his Lightning Armor, pulled up Samoyed and Troy, and ran away.

Looking at the three people fleeing in panic, a smile appeared in Master Maeda's eyes.

He had long known about Mizunoe Ryosuke's plan, so of course he would not give the Kumogakure trio the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

As I said, just let the other party give up when they realize the difficulty.

He just didn't expect that his story would be so difficult for the other party to accept.

"Is my story really boring?"

Master Maeda looked at the mirror beside him. Looking at the extremely stiff zombie face in the mirror, he muttered to himself in disbelief.

"Impossible, it must be the problem of these three people."

"Next time, try someone else. He's sure to like my story."

Thinking of this, a very stiff smile appeared on Maeda Genshi's zombie face. Then he comfortably picked up the quilt in front of him and took a sip of the tea in the cup.

The three members of the Kumogakure group who had "luckily escaped" from Master Maeda were squatting in a corner of the Wuying Street with pale faces.

Especially Samoyed, not only was his face pale, but he was also muttering to himself from time to time.

It was all just whispers of something like, "This is horrible, I want to go home."

Even Troy, an elite ninja with good strength, turned pale and couldn't extricate himself for a long time because of Master Maeda's preaching.

"Bi, in my opinion we are still"

The setback in front of Master Maeda was just a microcosm. Thinking back on the setbacks he had encountered in Wuying over the past two days, Troy decided to go home.

Thinking of this, Troy slowly spoke to Bi beside him.

"no!"

"Troy, how could you have such a weak thought!"

"Have you forgotten that the village is currently in the midst of war?!"

"If we return in disgrace, how many of our fellow villagers will die on the battlefield of the Moon Kingdom?!"

"If we can't get Kirigakure's help, the village is likely to completely lose control of the Moon Country!"

"How can we give up here just because of this little setback?"

"I will never give up until I achieve my goal!"

Although Bi's face was also not very good, he still spoke resolutely, with a resolute aura appearing on his body.

Inspired by Bi, the two men regained their fighting spirit.

At the same time, in the Mizunoe clan's territory, inside the underground space of the Fourth Mizukage's mansion.

Mizunoe Ryosuke, who was observing everything using the secret technique, the Mirror of Clarity, smiled.

Secret Technique. The Realm of Clear Knowledge, a Yin Dun secret technique, similar to the telescope technique that the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen often used in the helmeted women's bathhouse in the original work.

Using this trick, in conjunction with the barrier that exists around the Hidden Mist Village, as long as Mizunoe Ryosuke knows the chakra properties of the target, he can observe the person's behavior in the Hidden Mist Village through the Mirror of Knowledge.

Now, Mizunoe Ryosuke was bored and using the Mirror of Understanding to observe the every move of the Kumogakure trio.

After seeing the determination in Bi's body, a hint of deep understanding flashed in Mizunoe Ryosuke's eyes.

As expected, no one who can bear the title of "Shadow" can be easily dealt with.

However, this was also within Mizunoe Ryosuke's expectations.

"Don't be in a hurry. Let's dampen his enthusiasm a little bit."

Mizunoe Ryosuke whispered in his heart while removing the insight of the Mirror of Clarity.

Then he got up and found Mizunoe Rikka and Mizunoe Ren who were fiddling with flowers and plants in the courtyard.

Ever since the passing of the Third Mizukage Mizunoe Taki, Rikka has gradually gotten used to this kind of life of dependence on her daughter and son-in-law, and she finds herself contented with growing flowers and tending to plants.

Although she lost the halo of Mrs. Mizukage, Rikka became more and more contented, and her whole body became radiant and she looked a lot younger.

At first glance, she and Mizunotsuki Ren look like a pair of sisters, and you can't tell at all that she is a mother.

"Auntie Liuhua, Lian."

"Let's go to the hot springs together."

"It's a rare opportunity, I'll spend some time with you guys."

Mizunoe Ryosuke spoke softly to Rikka and Ren in front of him.

After hearing what Mizunoe Ryosuke said, Lian showed a surprised expression.

"really?"

Lian stared at Mizunoe Ryosuke with a pair of shining eyes, her eyes full of surprise.

"of course."

In response, Mizunoe Ryosuke just smiled.

Rikka also set her sights on Ryosuke, the homely Mizunoe Ryosuke, who was dressed in white.

White is the favorite color of the Mizunoe clan, and it is also the favorite color of Rikka and Ren.

Compared to the past, now that Ryosuke has succeeded the position of Mizukage, he has a more mature aura and looks more noble and elegant, indicating his height and status.

Looking at the gentle smile on Ryosuke's face, Rikka could only sigh: "Zhuo Shi Jia Gongzi, this is the kind of man I'm talking about."

Just watching, a trace of worry flashed in Liuhua's eyes.

Chapter 247, Gentleman, this is definitely a gentleman!

For some reason, Rikka seemed to be in a trance and stood there in a daze for a moment.

"Auntie Liuhua?"

Ryosuke looked at Mizunoe Rikka who was in a daze and called out to her softly.

"Ah I"

"it is good."

Only then did Mizunoe Rikka realize what was going on and immediately agreed.

Lian looked at Liuhua who was in a daze, feeling a little confused. She didn't understand why Liuhua was suddenly distracted when she was obviously fine just now.

"mother"

Lian looked at Liuhua worriedly and gently stroked her shoulders.

"fine."

In response to her daughter's comfort, Rika just smiled, as if nothing happened.

"It's really a pleasure that Ryosuke can take the time to spend with us."

"Then let's go together."

Mizunoe Rikka said to Ryosuke with a smile, as if she had forgotten that she was distracted just now.

"Okay, I'll go get ready."

Mizunoe Ryosuke spoke slowly, and then went downstairs to make arrangements.

The Fourth Mizukage taking his family on vacation naturally required careful arrangements.

This is a security consideration that must be made due to identity issues.

The Land of Water, as its name suggests, is a country with extremely abundant water resources.

Although it is an island country and its territory cannot be compared with the other four countries, it is still larger than the sandy land of the Wind Country, the rocky land of the Earth Country, and the mountainous land of the Thunder Country.

The environment in the Water Kingdom is relatively much better.

In the ninja world, when it comes to hot springs, the most famous one is the small country of Hot Springs, which relies on hot spring tourism as its pillar industry.

But in fact, there are also a certain number of hot springs in the Land of Water.

This also means that Ryosuke doesn't need to travel all the way to the Land of Hot Springs to take a hot spring bath.

After several hours of travel, the Fourth Mizukage and his family, escorted by the Mizukage Guards, arrived at the most upscale hot spring hotel in the Land of Water.

It's getting dark now, which is a good time to take a hot spring bath.

For safety reasons, the entire hotel has been prepared and will only accommodate the three guests from Mizunoe Ryosuke's family.

Although they are family, the three of them no longer need to avoid suspicion, and Ryosuke has already established a close relationship with Lian.

But after all, there is a difference between the old and the young, so Mizunoe Rikka still needs to pay attention to the impact.

So even if there are only three of you, you still have to bathe separately according to gender.

It doesn't make sense for Ren and Ryosuke to hang out together while leaving Rikka alone.

So at this time, Lian, as a close friend, could only accompany her mother tactfully.

As a result, Ryosuke Mizunotsuki was left alone soaking in the huge bathtub. Soon, Ryosuke Mizunotsuki showed an expression of despair.

He had originally planned to play and joke with Lian and create some good memories, but he didn't expect that his plan would be shattered now.

This is actually his fault for not thinking things through.

In the end, Mizunoe Ryosuke could only give the order and ask the captain of the Mizukage Guard, Kaguya Yuuta, who was responsible for security, to come and soak with him for a while.

At first, Kaguya Yuuta was a little reserved, but when Ryosuke talked about his recent research on physical skills, Kaguya Yuuta seemed to have opened up and couldn't stop talking.

Looking at Kaguya Yuuta's muscular upper body and his terrifying muscles, Ryosuke shook his head helplessly.

I don't know how to solve the problem of singleness among his generals.

I guess they have no chance on their own.

Suddenly, a sense of evil interest arose in Ryosuke's heart, so he asked Kaguya Yuuta seriously.

"Yuta, if one day you came across a beautiful woman lying on the side of the road in the wilderness, seriously injured, what would you do?"

Mizunoe Ryosuke's sudden question caught Kaguya Yuta off guard.

At that moment, Kaguya Yuuta began to secretly wonder in his heart why Mizunoe Ryosuke asked him such a "simple and obvious" question.

"In the wild, and they are Iwagakure ninjas who are hostile to Kirigakure."

"If the other party was really seriously injured and abandoned on the roadside, it would be absolutely unreasonable."

"Because he must have teammates with him, there's no way we'd just sit there and watch him lying on the side of the road seriously injured."

"So I judge that this is a trap set by the Iwa Ninja to target me."

“So, I probably will.”

As if he was thinking of some exciting scene, Kaguya Yuuta suddenly began to breathe heavily and his eyes turned a little red.

Seeing this, Mizunoe Ryosuke also became interested. Could it be that this kid looks like he has thick eyebrows, but actually has no eyebrows and big eyes, but is actually a hidden gentleman with gentlemanly attributes?

"I'll first pierce her limbs with bone spears and pin her to the ground!"

"Then pull out all the bones in her body and break them one by one!"

"Use this to force her to reveal information about other Iwagakure ninjas."
