This Water Shadow is very strong, but overly cautious.

Under the constant search of the Rain Ninja, even the most perfect hiding would be exposed sooner or later. It was only a matter of time.

At that time, only the Rain Ninja who are conducting the search will act as cannon fodder to temporarily block the invaders. When Hanzo of the Salamander arrives, everything will be settled.

Perhaps from the moment the riots broke out, Hanzo had always suspected that this was an operation to "lure the tiger away from the mountain."

The real purpose of the invader might be his mansion, so he disguised the entire mansion and led the elite Rain Ninja to hide inside.

At the same time, he pretended that Hanzo of the Salamander had sent out all his forces in order to lure the other party. If the other party really dared to invade Hanzo's house, he would fall into the trap completely.

In this way, Hanzo will turn passive into active.

Hanzo's handling of the Salamander was quite sophisticated.

Even though they haven't really met each other yet, Ryosuke still has some recognition of Hanzo the Salamander.

Looking at the entire ninja world, most of the top strong people basically come from the five major countries, and the small countries themselves are not the soil that can produce strong people because their resources have been plundered by the big countries for many years.

Therefore, it is rare in the ninja world to hear about a small country producing a powerful figure who is famous in the ninja world. Even if there is one, they are extremely rare.

And people like Hanzo of the Salamander, who earned the title of "Demi-God of the Ninja World" and overwhelmed the three ninjas of Konoha, are simply unique.

This also shows how powerful Hanzo is. If Hanzo was born in a big country, there would be at least a strong man of the same level as the Third Raikage.

Therefore, Ryosuke had a higher opinion of Hanzo of the Salamander.

It can even be said that the reason why Hanzo in the original work ultimately ended in failure was entirely due to fate, not his own ability.

In other words, if God wants you to die, you have to die.

This also echoes the old saying: "When luck arrives, heaven and earth are on your side; when luck is gone, heroes are helpless."

Naturally, Hoshigaki Kisame had no idea what was in Mizunoe Ryosuke's mind.

From his perspective, Mizunoe Ryosuke just stood outside Hanzo's mansion and pondered for a moment.

It must be said here that although Hoshigaki Kisame is a rare general, he is not a commander-in-chief and still lacks a lot in terms of overall vision.

In the original work, there are very few people who can be called "talented and handsome", and most of them are members of the Uchiha clan.

This is why some people in later generations called Naruto the "Legend of the Eyes".

"Let's go, Kisame."

After some thought, Mizunoe Ryosuke said to Hoshigaki Kisame beside him.

"Sir, are we really going in?"

Hoshigaki Kisame looked at Mizunoe Ryosuke in surprise. Even though he had already known that Ryosuke planned to enter Hanzo's mansion and that he had the magical magic mirror illusion technique, Kisame still felt a little nervous.

"rest assured."

After leaving just two words, Ryosuke turned around and walked slowly towards Hanzo's residence.

Seeing that Ryosuke had made up his mind, as the "number one confidant", Hoshigaki Kisame could only lead the way alone.

There are many buildings inside this huge mansion covering an area of ​​ten acres.

Due to the unique weather of the Rain Country, which is rainy all year round, these buildings have the unique characteristics of the Rain Country, with densely packed steel water pipes installed on the roofs.

The raindrops falling from the sky hit the steel drainpipe, making a "tick, tick" sound.

The ticking sound echoed hollowly throughout the mansion.

Furthermore, the entire courtyard was not only pitch black, but also silent except for the sound of raindrops hitting the steel pipes. So at first glance, it didn't look like the chief's residence at all, but rather rather eerie.

Chapter 162: The Hero is Not Free

Under the effect of the magic mirror's illusion technique, Mizunoe Ryosuke and Hoshigaki Kisame, who were hiding under the ice mirror, perfectly blended into the dark environment around them.

As the two continued to go deeper into the corridor of Hanzo's mansion and passed through one building after another, Hoshigaki Kisame's gaze kept passing through various locations in the mansion.

"One, two"

Whenever Hoshigaki Kisame's gaze swept towards the corner of the house, it meant that he had found a Rain Ninja hiding there.

He kept calculating the number of hidden ninjas in the courtyard in his mind, and his heart gradually became heavy as he estimated the chances of leading Ryosuke to escape successfully if they were exposed.

Hoshigaki Kisame could clearly sense that the Rain Ninjas hiding in the darkness and corners were by no means comparable to those rotten fish and shrimps under the command of the Salamander Kamada.

The level of each of these ninjas is probably comparable to that of the Jonin trained by a big country.

With five, Kisame can "sixty, seventy, and zero" to ensure victory and deal with them easily.

If there are ten of them, Kisame will probably have to suffer some injuries before he can kill all of these ninjas.

Twenty of them, Kisame would have to fight hard to escape.

Fifty of them, at this moment, Hoshigaki Kisame would definitely die.

From just now until now, the number of elite Rain Ninjas that Hoshigaki Kisame has discovered here has already exceeded twenty.

According to Hoshigaki Kisame's estimation, the number of Rain Ninja hiding here is conservatively estimated to be at least twice this number.

These elite Rain Ninjas are also the reason why Hanzo of the Salamander dares to challenge the three major countries.

Thinking of this, cold sweat broke out on Hoshigaki Kisame's forehead.

Once exposed, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape today.

Thinking of this, Hoshigaki Kisame turned to look at Mizunoe Ryosuke beside him, only to see that Ryosuke's expression was still calm, and his expression was as indifferent as if he was strolling in the park.

After seeing Ryosuke's expression, Hoshigaki Kisame recalled the mysterious nature of the Fourth Mizukage, and his heart gradually calmed down.

At this moment, he just needs to trust Mizunoe Ryosuke.

"As expected of Lord Ryosuke."

After secretly sighing with admiration in his heart, Hoshigaki Kisame's mood gradually calmed down, and there was even a hint of excitement in his heart.

Being able to follow Mizunoe Ryosuke in such occasions is definitely a rare honor!

Thinking of this, Kisame's mood became more excited.

Unknowingly, under the illusion of the magic mirror, the two of them had arrived at the deepest courtyard.

The two of them walked slowly into the courtyard, and when they reached the center of the courtyard, they slowly stopped.

Different from the previous building, this courtyard is less gloomy and more down-to-earth and elegant.

This is a typical Japanese garden.

The surrounding rooms form a small open-air courtyard in the center, where many plants unique to the Rain Kingdom are planted.

Under the drizzle, these plants grew exceptionally lushly, bringing a fresh vitality to the courtyard.

Standing in the center of the courtyard, Ryosuke looked directly into the room in front of him.

Like most Japanese gardens, the rooms in this courtyard use sliding wooden screen doors, and at this moment the screen door of the room in the center facing the courtyard is wide open.

In the middle of the room, a middle-aged man wearing a black raincoat was kneeling with his eyes closed and concentrating.

"Whoo~"

"Whoo~"

""

The man had signature long green hair and wore a strange respirator on his head, which made a truly strange noise with every breath he took.

Mizunoe Ryosuke just stared at the man in the room, wondering what he was thinking.

Based on the characteristics and the position of the man.

Mizunoe Ryosuke concluded that this man was the leader of the Rain Ninja - Hanzo the Salamander.

At this moment, Hanzo suddenly opened his eyes, slowly turned around and looked towards the center of the courtyard.

And that is where Kisame and Ryosuke are hiding at the moment.

Salamander Hanzo's eyes were very calm, like a calm lake without any ripples. He just stared at the center of the courtyard, as if he was looking into someone's eyes.

Maybe it was a coincidence, or maybe he really discovered something, but Hanzo's eyes met Ryosuke's.

Just as calm, just as peaceful.

The only difference was that there was a hint of surprise in Ryosuke's eyes.

At this moment, Mizunoe Ryosuke suddenly remembered a sentence.

Those who have thunder in their chest but a calm face can be appointed as generals.

On Ryosuke's side, Hoshigaki Kisame exuded a faintly dangerous aura. His hand had silently reached behind his back and grasped the hilt of Samehada's sword.

Ever since taking Samehada out of the sealing scroll, Kisame has been carrying it on his back.

But who knew that Mizunoe Ryosuke suddenly stretched out his hand, stopped Kisame from holding the knife, and then shook his head gently...

"Come out, uninvited guest."

Hanzo's voice came into the air through the respirator at the corner of his mouth, and made Hoshigaki Kisame's heart suddenly skip a beat.

As he spoke, Hanzo continued to gaze calmly at the open space in the center of the courtyard, as if there was an invisible person looking at him.

But next to Hoshigaki Kisame, Mizunoe Ryosuke showed a completely opposite expression.

Ryosuke looked at the Salamander Hanzo who was kneeling in the room with some excitement, and a hint of joy appeared in his eyes.

He knew that this time, he had made the right decision.

At this time, Ryosuke has also confirmed that Hanzo of the Salamander is not playing tricks.

"Snapped!"

At that moment, Mizunoe Ryosuke raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and the ice prism used to hide their bodies shattered on the spot, releasing the two from their hidden state.

From the perspective of Hanzo the Salamander, it was as if the space in the center of the courtyard was like a broken movie screen, suddenly revealing the scenery behind the screen.

Salamander Hanzo still faced the two people who suddenly appeared with a calm expression. His eyes still did not change at all, as if he had already anticipated such a scene.

"Can you tell me how you found out?"

Faced with the exposure of his figure, Ryosuke was not at all flustered or embarrassed. Instead, he looked at the Salamander Hanzo in front of him with interest.

Hanzo Salamander had no intention of hiding anything, he pointed to his ear.

"Since I was 12 or 24, I have sat in this courtyard every day."

"The sound of raindrops falling in this courtyard has long been engraved in my mind."

"Today, the sound of raindrops tells me that there are guests in this courtyard."

The dull voice of Hanzo of the Salamander sounded again, and his answer made Ryosuke look enlightened.

The principle of magic mirror illusion is to use the prismatic ice surface to reflect and simulate the surrounding scenes, forming a perfect visual camouflage.

At its root, to put it bluntly, the principle of magic mirror illusion camouflage is "visual deception."

Although the magic mirror illusion can perfectly disguise the scene of falling raindrops, it cannot cover up the sound of raindrops falling on the prismatic ice surface.

This was originally just a tiny flaw, but it became the key factor in the magic mirror's illusion being exposed.

Before Hanzo, the only ninja who could see through the magic mirror's illusion was Uchiha Madara.

Chapter 163, Take and Be Taken

After answering Mizunoe Ryosuke's question, Hanzo of the Salamander also asked a question.

Rather than a question, it is more of a statement with an affirmative attitude.

"You are the ones who caused the riot in the village."

Hanzo of the Salamander still looked at Mizunoe Ryosuke with a lukewarm look, without a trace of extra emotion in his eyes.

"Yes and no."

After hearing what Hanzo of the Salamander said, Mizunoe Ryosuke first nodded indifferently, but then shook his head.

"Oh?"

Hanzo seemed to be interested and looked at the two people in front of him for the first time.

Since Mizunoe Ryosuke and Hoshigaki Kisame were still using transformation techniques to create a layer of camouflage on their bodies, Hanzo Salamander couldn't see anything.

He also saw that Mizunoe Ryosuke was the leader between the two, so he just exchanged glances with Ryosuke.

After a brief eye contact, Hanzo seemed to understand something.
