This Water Shadow is very strong, but overly cautious.

The referee Genshi Maeda spoke again.

This is also consistent with the consistent position of this senior ninja squad leader, who plays the role of a peacemaker between the Anbu and the Mizukage.

Upon hearing this, Karutagi Yagura and Mizunoe Taki remained silent.

Mizunoe Taki closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then opened his eyes and spoke slowly.

"Alright."

Seeing the Mizukage compromise, Karutagi Yagura decided to stop and said no more.

Originally, this was just a casual move made by Karutagi Yagura. He was already satisfied that he could disgust Mizunoe Taki.

In this way, the promotion of Jonin was completed with two ninjas successfully promoted and one awarded the title of Special Jonin.

Special Jonin, a special rank between Jonin and Chunin.

Generally speaking, a ninja with such a title can be regarded as a ninja who has reached the strength of a jonin to a certain extent, but does not fully possess the qualities of a jonin.

But he is also considered a Jonin level and has the right to participate in the Jonin Conference.

The senior ninjas dispersed and left the meeting, spreading the bizarre story of today.

This time, Kaguya was humiliated.

The confrontation between the Mizukage and the Anbu Minister also came to an end again.

Everything seemed to have calmed down, but everyone knew it in their hearts.

This is just the calm before the storm.

The land of the Mizunoe clan.

The "unconscious" Mizunoe Ryosuke was carried back home as if he were a hero.

Lian had been waiting for a long time at Ryosuke's house.

When she saw Mizunoe Ryosuke being carried back, her heart immediately rose to her throat.

Ask people around about Ryosuke Mizunoe's situation.

A Mizunoe jonin said with a smile: "Miss, don't worry, Ryosuke just consumed too much chakra, he will be fine after a rest."

Mizunoe Ren felt relieved after hearing this.

However, because Mizunoe Ryosuke has been injured frequently recently, he began to feel worried again.

Lian carefully moved Mizunoe Ryosuke's body over and placed it on her legs.

Then Mizunoe Ren carefully picked up the fan beside her and slowly fanned Ryosuke on her knees.

The senior ninja Mizunotsuki beside him was filled with envy at this scene.

But they can only sigh that they don't have such good fortune.

"Clan leader!"

Suddenly, the Jonin whispered.

A thin, middle-aged man with gray hair appeared in the courtyard of Ryosuke's house at some point.

It was none other than the Third Mizukage, Taki Mizunoe.

When Lian saw Mizunoe Taki, she was so frightened that she was in a panic and didn't know what to do.

She was aware of Mizunoe Taki's attitude of always opposing her contact with Ryosuke.

"Father"

Seeing that Yiran had nowhere to hide, Mizunoe Lian could only lower her head and greet him softly.

Mizunoe Taki looked at Ryosuke, who was still "unconscious" lying on Ren's knees, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.

"Len, take good care of Ryosuke."

"When you have time, bring him home for dinner."

After leaving these words, Mizunoe Taki turned around and left.

Hearing the sound, Mizunoe Ren thought for a moment that she had misheard.

After all, Mizunoe Taki's previous resolute opposition was completely different from his attitude this time, which made Mizunoe Ren even a little uncomfortable.

Seeing the Mizukage leave, the Mizunotsuki ninjas hurriedly followed. For a moment, only Mizunotsuki Ren and Ryosuke were left in the hut.

This made Mizunoe Ren feel both surprised and worried.

The surprise was because Mizunoe Taki acquiesced to the relationship between her and Ryosuke.

The worry is naturally because Mizunoe Ryosuke is still in a "coma".

Amidst the two conflicting emotions, Mizunoe Ren's eyes suddenly became moist.

A cold tear fell on Mizunoe Ryosuke's cheek, making it impossible for him to continue pretending to be unconscious.

Mizunoe Ryosuke slowly opened his eyes and looked at Mizunoe Ren who was wiping the corners of his eyes.

The pear blossom's tearful appearance is particularly endearing.

Mizunoe Ryosuke heard everything that just happened, and he naturally knew why Mizunoe Ren was like this.

When he was adhering to the "golden mean" before, Mizunoe Ren was under great pressure.

Her father's recognition at this time naturally made her ecstatic.

At the same time, Mizunoe Ryosuke also sighed in his heart, thinking that mistakes like this should be avoided as much as possible in the future.

He shouldn't let Lian worry any longer.

Otherwise, he would end up in a coma and pretend to be dead every time, which would only cause Mizunoe Ren to worry.

"Sister Lian"

A faint voice reached Mizunoe Lian's ears. Lian wiped her cheeks hurriedly and panicked, revealing a flawless smile.

"Ryosuke"

"you're awake."

Lian's gentle voice sounded very soft, making Mizunoe Ryosuke's heart itchy.

"Next time, I won't do that again."

Mizunoe Ryosuke reached out and gently stroked Lian's cheek, which was as white as egg white and full of warmth.

"Um"

"Father asked us to go home for dinner together. Let's go together, okay?"

Mizunoe Ren asked in a low voice, with unspeakable hope in her eyes.

"Yeah, sure."

Seeing that Mizunoe Ryosuke agreed, Lian's smile became even brighter.

The two of them enjoyed their warm time alone.

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

Chapter 15: Night Banquet at the Mizukage's House

At night, Ryosuke Mizunoe was invited to attend a dinner party at Mizunoe Taki's house with Lian.

The meaning of this meal is certainly not simple, and to some extent it even goes against Ryosuke Mizunoe's strategy of "moderation".

But even so, Mizunoe Ryosuke still accepted the invitation.

Not for anything else, just for Lian to be happy.

Mizunoe Ryosuke also met Mizunoe Ren's biological mother, Mizunoe Rikka, for the first time, a beautiful woman with lingering charm.

During the meal, Mizunoe Taki and Mizunoe Rikka were very polite to Ryosuke.

Putting aside everyone's identities, the atmosphere at the table felt a bit like the first visit of a future son-in-law.

Mizunoe Taki never mentioned anything about the village's ninja affairs, but only asked Mizunoe Ryosuke about some trivial matters in life.

Mizunoe Ryosuke's performance was flawless, which made Mizunoe Taki look a little appreciative.

After dinner, Mizunoe Ryosuke took his leave on his own accord, and Mizunoe Taki did not try to keep him.

As the Mizukage and the head of the Mizunoe clan, he should still maintain a proper distance from others.

No matter from which perspective, Mizunoe Taki has already shown an accepting attitude towards Ryosuke.

Even with Mizunoe Ren as a bond, the relationship between the two should be in a gradual stage and should not be rushed.

On this point, Mizunoe Ryosuke and Mizunoe Taki have a full understanding.

In the quaint and exquisite Japanese-style courtyard attic, Mizunoe Taki looked at Mizunoe Ryosuke's departing back, with a gleam in his eyes flickering.

Shadow, the person who reigns supreme over a village or even a country.

How many people who can take on the role of Shadow have simple roles?

The morning's Jonin exam had already allowed Mizunoe Taki to vaguely see a lot of things about Mizunoe Ryosuke.

In the eyes of an old fox like Mizunoe Taki, Mizunoe Taki's strength is definitely more than what he shows.

QQ

Considering Mizunoe Ryosuke's age, he can definitely be considered a "genius" level person.

Recalling what happened to this young man recently, Mizunoe Taki can basically draw a conclusion.

This young man is "hiding his incompetence".

How could a member of the tribe who had just awakened the Ice Escape a few days ago create his own ninjutsu?

This is like a primary school student who has just learned mathematics for a few days and invented the Pythagorean theorem.

It is true that he has talent, but at the same time, this bloodstain may have been awakened long ago.

Thinking of this, Mizunoe Taki felt as if the young man just now was shrouded in a veil of mystery.

If it weren't for some clues being revealed, Mizunotsuki Taki would have had no idea that there was such a genius hiding right under his nose.

Although he sees through it, Mizunoe Taki will not say it out loud.

Because he knew very well in his heart that the current situation of the Mizunoe clan was definitely not very good.

After thinking about it carefully, Mizunoe Taki seemed to roughly understand what Mizunoe Ryosuke was thinking.

This perceptive young man probably sensed the danger in the village and was unwilling to show his talent.

After all, the first bird to stick its head out gets shot. In the current precarious Kirigakure, it seems that keeping a low profile is the best option.

It was precisely because he vaguely guessed Mizunoe Ryosuke's thoughts that he agreed to Maeda Genshi's proposal to promote Ryosuke to the position of Special Jonin.

After all, being promoted to a Jonin at this age is indeed too much of a show.

Since this young man is unwilling to be at the center of the storm, Mizunoe Taki is willing to provide him with a layer of protection.

Thinking of this, Mizunoe Taki couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Originally, he just wanted to manipulate things behind the scenes to give Mizunotsuki another jonin so that he could have more say in the village.

But I never expected that I would discover a pillar of society.

"cough cough"

After a violent coughing fit, Mizunoe Taki looked at the blood on the palm of his hand, and a hint of deep understanding flashed in his eyes.

I don’t know how long he can last?

Suddenly, he turned around and wrote two names on a piece of white paper spread out in front of him.

They are Ryosuke and Eiro respectively.

"Who among you can lead Mizunoe further?"

Mizunoe Taki muttered to himself, his eyes gradually becoming sharp.

No matter what, as the patriarch of the Mizunoe clan, he must stand his last shift and try his best to create a good situation for his successors.

After returning home, Mizunoe Ryosuke began to think about what had happened in recent days.

Combining the latest intelligence, Mizunoe Ryosuke began to list the information he had.
