This Water Shadow is very strong, but overly cautious.

Although the speed of their hand seals is still far from the level that Mizunoe Ryosuke showed during the Jonin Exam, it is still far beyond that of ninjas of the same age.

The foundation is very solid.

In terms of attributes, Ice Release severely restrains Water Release, so Terumi Mei's Water Release ninjutsu naturally failed.

Seeing Mizunoe Mitsuhiko's ice escape, Terumi Mei frowned.

But this does not deter Mei Terumi.

Mei Terumi quickly formed hand seals again, opened her mouth and spit out several fireballs with a diameter of about half a meter, while her body moved quickly towards the back of Mitsuhiko Mizunoe.

Fire Escape. Phoenix Immortal Fire Technique!

Several fireballs moving in arcs just bypassed the ice wall and headed towards Mizunoe Mitsuhiko from multiple directions.

Seeing this, Mitsuhiko's eyes showed a trace of solemnity.

"boom!"

The sound of a fierce flame explosion was heard, and it seemed to have completely hit Mitsuhiko Mizunoe.

At this moment, a figure suddenly emerged from the smoke, holding a weapon made of ice, Mitsuhiko Mizunoe and Mei Terumi, and stabbed towards him.

It turned out that Mitsuhiko Mizunoe used the substitution technique to avoid the fire escape attack.

Mei Terumi pulled out the kunai from her waist and fought with Mizunoe Mitsuhiko for dozens of moves.

Seeing that he could not gain an advantage in close combat, a cold light flashed in Mitsuhiko Mizunoe's eyes, and ice quickly condensed towards his legs and feet. Then he suddenly kicked towards Mei Terumi.

Mei Terumi turned around to block, but was kicked away.

Afterwards, Mitsuhiko Mizunoe formed seals again, and countless sharp weapons similar to awls condensed at his side, and then shot towards Mei Terumi.

At the same time, Mitsuhiko Mizunoe was constantly condensing kunai formed of ice in his hands, increasing the force and continuing to throw them at Mei Terumi.

It seems that he wants to use this long-range consumption method to attack the opponent.

Seeing this, Mei Terumi had no choice but to use the blade she carried with her to fight against Mitsuhiko Mizunoe.

However, compared to the blades condensed from ice by Mitsuhiko Mizunoe, the blades that Mei Terumi carries with her will be used up very quickly.

"No, we can't just sit there and wait for death!"

A cold light flashed in Terumi Mei's eyes. If she continued like this, she would be no match for the Ice Escape.

The opponent's suppression made Terumi Mei breathless, and she also used the substitution technique to avoid a wave of ice blade attacks.

Then she took the opportunity to quickly form hand seals and release the highest level of fire escape that she could currently release.

Fire Style...Big Fire Breathing!

A fierce fire burned towards Mitsuhiko Mizunoe, just as he was about to use the ice wall to resist it.

Suddenly, Mei Terumi formed hand seals again and released another ninjutsu without stopping.

Wind escape. Big breakthrough!

Under the sweep of the strong wind, the power of the C-level ninjutsu Fire Breathing instantly doubled, forming a new compound ninjutsu.

Mitsuhiko Mizunoe's pressure increased several times in an instant.

If he wanted to defend himself, the ninjutsu he had mastered would not be enough to stop it!

The only way now is to fight head-on and there is still a glimmer of hope.

Ice escape. Ice strangulation!

Mizunoe Mitsuhiko barely used the B-level ice escape technique. The fierce ice rose and twisted from the ground, and the icicles carrying hideous ice spikes twisted towards Terumi Mei.

These two are really fighting!

It looked like it was about to get out of hand.

A gentle voice suddenly sounded.

"Water Style. Water Formation Pillar!"

A water column carrying a huge amount of water pressure shot up into the sky, and both ice and fire were dispersed by the water column in an instant.

As if they were not worth mentioning.

A man wearing white clothes that was very similar to Mitsuhiko Mizunoe and with a gentle smile appeared at the center of the battle.

"Not bad, they all look quite energetic."

Mizunoe Ryosuke said with a smile as he looked at Mei Terumi and Mitsuhiko Mizunoe who had collapsed on the ground.

Yoichi Takeda on the side wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

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

Chapter 19, Going East and West, Beating Dogs and Chasing Chickens

Soon, the few people who had tidied themselves up sat by the lake around the campfire.

Mei Terumi and Mitsuhiko Mizunoe both turned pale because they had consumed too much chakra just now.

The two of them looked at the young man who looked only a few years older than them, stunned and wondering what he was thinking.

Yoichi Takeda, who was sitting on the other side, was wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

After all, for a ninja like Takeda Yoichi, it would not be an exaggeration to say that what just happened was a "fight between gods."

Not to mention the exaggerated power of the Water Pillar, even the battle between Mei Terumi and Mitsuhiko Mizunoe made him feel ashamed.

The fighting power displayed by the two made Takeda Yoichi feel a little scared.

If these two people knew that he had planned this, the consequences would be disastrous.

Thinking of this, Takeda Yoichi shuddered and immediately turned his attention to Mizunoe Ryosuke, hoping to get the protection of the real boss.

Mizunoe Ryosuke naturally knew very well what Takeda Yoichi was thinking.

So he just nodded secretly to Takeda Yang, indicating that he didn't need to take it to heart.

I have to say that Takeda Yoichi did a really good job just now.

By taking advantage of a small incident, he stimulated the weaknesses in the two people's characters, provoked a fight between them, and achieved the purpose of collecting information.

Mizunoe Ryosuke, who had been watching for a long time, also took the opportunity to understand the abilities and weaknesses of the two, making it easier to make command arrangements in the future.

Mizunoe Ryosuke was still satisfied with the strength of the two.

Especially Mitsuhiko Mizunoe, even as the second son of the great elder, he would not have such ability without hard work.

Mizunoe Ryosuke was very satisfied with this. A few burdens and a few subordinates who could be ordered around were two completely opposite concepts.

In contrast, Mei and Mizunoe Mitsuhiko have completely different ideas.

Looking at Ryosuke's handsome yet youthful face, Terumi Mei's eyes were uncertain.

In Mei Terumi's opinion, the other party's age could not exceed eighteen years old at most, but he already had such terrifying strength!

Get a glimpse of the whole leopard.

Just by using this water escape technique, Mei Terumi clearly realized the gap between herself and her opponent.

In addition, the opponent is a ninja named "Mizunoe", so how terrifying would the opponent's ice escape be?

Having such a powerful ninja as captain is indeed good news for Mei Terumi.

At this moment, Mitsuhiko Mizunoe couldn't understand how the other party used water escape to block his ice escape?

You know, ice escape naturally restrains water escape.

In addition, as they are both Mizunoe, Mitsuhiko has heard of Captain Ryosuke.

I have always heard that he is just an ordinary ninja with no determination and blood, but I didn't expect him to have such strength.

But soon, as if he thought of another man, Mitsuhiko Mizunoe's eyes looked at Ryosuke and recovered from awe.

"Compared to that man, it's nothing."

Thinking of this, Mitsuhiko Mizunoe raised his head again.

"My name is Mizunoe Ryosuke."

"You don't seem to have heard of this name, but it doesn't matter."

"The important thing is that I will be the captain and lead you all to carry out the mission."

"If you have any opinions, it's best to raise them now."

"But I think none of you would be deserters."

As he spoke, Mizunoe Ryosuke smiled gently twice and looked at Mitsuhiko and Mei Terumi opposite him.

Neither of them had any objection to what Ryosuke said.

But Mizunoe Mitsuhiko curled his lips, still seeming to be disdainful.

"Hahaha, since no one has any objection."

"Then let me get this out of the way first."

"If someone disobeys orders on the battlefield, it will be very tragic."

Although Mizunoe Ryosuke's tone remained gentle, Takeda Yoichi on the side seemed to have thought of something, his body shuddered unconsciously, and there was a bit of fear in his eyes as he looked at Mizunoe Ryosuke.

"I have no problem, Captain."

Mei Terumi was the first to speak out, with an extremely determined look in her exposed left eye.

"That's okay with me too."

Seeing that Mei Terumi agreed, Mitsuhiko Mizunoe also hurriedly responded.

It seems like it's a shame to fall behind Mei Terumi.

After the battle just now, although Mitsuhiko Mizunoe didn't say it, he had already recognized the strength of Mei Terumi.

"hey-hey"

Seeing this, Takeda Yangyi just scratched his head and smiled foolishly.

Mizunoe Ryosuke naturally had no doubt about Takeda Yoichi's loyalty.

Seeing this, he nodded with satisfaction.

"To celebrate our acquaintance, I'll treat everyone to a good night of drinking today!"

"Oh, right!"

"Minors are not allowed to rescue, but there's plenty of barbecue!"

Mizunoe Ryosuke said with a smile, a hint of teasing in his tone.

"BBQ!"

Hearing what Mizunoe Ryosuke said, a light suddenly lit up in Terumi Mei's eyes, and she instantly showed some of the vitality that an ordinary girl should have.

"Humph!"

Mitsuhiko just tilted his head and snorted coldly, but did not express any rejection.

Not to mention Takeda Yoichi.

If Mizunoe Ryosuke told him to go east, he wouldn't dare to go west. If he told him to beat a dog, he would definitely not dare to chase a chicken.

"Okay, let's go!"

Amidst laughter and joy, the newly formed ninja team headed towards the Hidden Mist Village.

At the same time, a thin man with a hedgehog-like hair lowered his steps and came to a valley.

He raised his head and looked at the trees on both sides. After some identification, he walked towards one of the extremely thick trees.

After making sure everything was correct, he performed several seals in succession and finally slapped the ground with his palm.

The next moment, his figure disappeared from the ground and came to an underground space.

This is actually a gathering place for Rock Ninjas!

The hedgehog-headed man who suddenly appeared was quickly discovered by the people in the underground space.

"Lord Kari!"

An Iwagakure uttered a sound of great surprise.
