This Water Shadow is very strong, but overly cautious.

The three chairs were located in the upper half of the round table, reflecting the dominant position of the three major powers, with the position of the Mizukage, who convened the meeting, being the main one.

Opposite the three seats were three other small countries, represented by the host Iron Country's Mifune, the demigod Salamander Hanzo, and the Takinin leader Shibuki.

Needless to say, Shibuki is at the bottom of the list. He was originally brought in by Mizunoe Ryosuke to make up the numbers.

Gradually, except for the main seat which was still vacant, the rest of the seats were occupied.

Everyone at the table had met yesterday, so they were not strangers to each other. They just glanced at each other and stopped talking. They sat quietly in their seats waiting for the arrival of the last core person.

For a moment, the atmosphere in this room where nearly half of the leaders of the key forces in the ninja world gathered was a bit depressing.

Shibuki, the leader of the Taki ninja who had the worst concentration at the table, kept wiping the sweat from his forehead.

at last.

"squeak"

With the sound of a heavy door being pushed open, two figures slowly walked into the room, and everyone's attention was focused on them.

But soon, a hint of surprise flashed in everyone's eyes.

"Everyone, I've been waiting for a long time."

Mizunoe Ryosuke greeted everyone with a smile, then slowly walked towards the vacant water seat.

And behind him, a graceful figure followed closely behind Mizunoe Ryosuke.

At this moment, her originally pretty face was filled with seriousness and earnestness, and she obviously understood the great significance of the occasion.

The Third Kazekage and the Third Raikage at the table both had a flicker of surprise in their eyes. They glanced behind each other calmly, as if secretly comparing something.

Chapter 545, Just for Two Things

After a moment, Mizunoe Ryosuke quietly sat down on the main seat with light steps, still with his signature gentle smile on his face, looking very approachable.

The guards he carefully selected naturally stood behind him in a pretty manner.

After a calm comparison, the Third Raikage and the Third Kazekage finally set their sights behind Mizunoe Ryosuke.

The first impression of the guard carefully selected by the Mizukage is very prominent, that is ~ two words - young.

Her youthfulness did not surprise the two third-generation masters. What surprised them was that the girl was a little too young.

Thanks to Mizunoe Ryosuke's active performance in the Ninja World War, not only did he become famous in the Ninja World, but even several of his capable generals became famous in the Ninja World.

The two originally thought that Ryosuke Mizunoe's guards this time would be other subordinates who became famous on the Raikage battlefield not long ago.

But I never expected that it would be such a strange and young face.

She was wearing a well-fitting blue dress, with her long chestnut-colored hair casually draped down her back. There was a quiet and gentle beauty on her fair and lovely face.

The carefully groomed bangs cleverly cover the girl's right eye, giving her a touch of mystery.

Even though she is still young, the girl's figure does not appear bloated at all against the backdrop of the blue long skirt, but rather exquisite and well-proportioned.

Considering the girl’s age, it is not difficult to judge that she will inevitably suffer a great misfortune in the future.

From any angle, this girl is a rare beauty.

The Third Raikage withdrew his gaze, and he recalled "a certain rumor" about a certain Mizukage, and a strange look gradually appeared in his eyes.

Could it be that Ryosuke Mizunoe chose this unknown girl as his bodyguard instead of other talented people? Is there any "deeper" reason behind this?

Behind the Third Raikage, standing guard, a complex and emotional look flashed across Bi's eyes. He didn't know why he suddenly thought of Samoyed, who was still far away in Kirigakure.

"I originally thought Samoyed could be the second in command at Wuying, but now it seems he's not the third but the fourth."

If anyone could hear what Bee was thinking, they would be shocked.

Obviously, Bi is speaking up for his former friend Samoyed.

On the other side, in the shopping street of Kirigakure Village in the Land of Water.

Samoy, who was holding Mizunoe Ren's arm and tossing the smiling merchant in front of him, suddenly froze in smile.

"Ah sneeze!!!"

Then, she sneezed violently.

"How are you, Samoyed? Are you catching a cold?"

Mizunoe Ren immediately asked Samoyed with concern.

In response, Samoyed rubbed his delicate nose and immediately waved his hand.

"I'm fine, Lian, it was just a sneeze."

As Samoy spoke, she felt strange in her heart. She wondered what was wrong with her recently, why she kept sneezing for no reason.

"It's okay."

Seeing that Samoyed was fine, Lian smiled again.

Then, she grabbed the hand of her good sister and continued to torture the vendors in the Kirigakure Shopping Street.

""

Mizunoe Ryosuke naturally had no idea about the Third Raikage and Bi's thoughts.

After he sat down, he did not speak in a hurry, but glanced around the table.

As you can see, the six major forces and their representatives participating in the talks are:

The representative of Takinin, leader Shibuki.

The representative of the Rain Ninja, the leader Hanzo of the Salamander.

The representative of the Iron Country's warriors, Admiral Mifune and the armored warriors behind him.

The representative of the Wind Country Sand Village, the third Kazekage Sandetsu, and his guards Rasa and Hagura behind him.

The representative of the Land of Lightning, Kumogakure, the Third Raikage Ai, and behind him, Bi.

Finally, of course, there is the representative of the Water Country Kirigakure, the Fourth Mizukage Mizunoe Ryosuke and his guard, Mei Terumi.

Among them, Hanzo of the Rain Ninja and Shibuki of the Taki Ninja both brought guards, while the Third Kazekage brought two guards. It took a total of eleven days to hold this meeting that decided the fate of the ninja world.

When Mizunoe Ryosuke's gaze swept over the crowd, everyone's expression was different.

Shibuki's panic and nervousness, Hanzo's stiffness, Mifune's seriousness, the Third Kazekage's eagerness to try, and the Third Raikage's composure.

But when Mizunoe Ryosuke's gaze passed across Ye Cang's face behind Fengying, a trace of shyness flashed across Ye Cang's pretty face.

In response, Ryosuke could only give the other party an awkward but polite smile.

·· ····Request flowers··· ····

After a brief eye contact, Mizunoe Ryosuke finally spoke.

"Everyone, it is an honor to invite you all to gather in the Iron Kingdom."

"I have gathered everyone in the Iron Kingdom this time for only one thing."

"The issue is simple, just two words - peace."

Mizunoe Ryosuke spoke slowly and steadily, his speech was not fast, but every word was full of power.

After these words were spoken, the expressions on everyone's faces did not change at all.

After all, no matter what, bringing together so many top-ranked forces in the ninja world, there should at least be a reasonable name.

Peace is an enduring issue in the ninja world.

Whether it was Hashirama Senju, Madara Uchiha, or everyone present, they had all stated that peace was what they pursued.

It's just that no one has ever been able to bring true peace.

Now that Mizunoe Ryosuke has brought out the name of peace, no matter whether he is "real peace" or "fake peace", as long as he does things under the banner of peace, he has a legitimate reason anyway.

"From the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, to everyone present here, everyone wants peace for their country and village."

"Because peace is equal to profit."

"But despite countless people pursuing peace, the current situation in the ninja world is still one of constant war."

"Everyone here is also a victim of war."

Mizunoe Ryosuke continued, but as soon as these words came out, many smart people at the table heard the hidden meaning in Ryosuke's words.

That is, those present here are all victims of war, but what about those not present? Are they the beneficiaries and perpetrators of war?

Apart from the remaining small fry, the only top forces in the ninja world that have not come yet are Konoha and Iwagakure. So, after hearing this, is there any need to say more about who Mizunoe Ryosuke is really targeting?

After hearing this, a gleam of light flashed in the eyes of the Third Kazekage and the Third Raikage at the same time. They naturally understood the deep meaning of Mizunoe Ryosuke's words.

Of course, they had anticipated this, as this was one of the reasons they came here.

“So today, I have only two goals.

"First, to heal the damage caused by the war."

"Second, bring peace to the ninja world."

While speaking, Mizunoe Ryosuke's tone remained calm, but there was a hint of arrogance in his words.

Chapter 546: The Source of Turbulence in the Ninja World

As Mizunoe Ryosuke spoke, he clasped his hands together, his eyes flashing with a gleam that was impossible to look directly at.

Seeing this, a deep look flashed in everyone's eyes.

Although Mizunoe Ryosuke's words were a bit arrogant, after all, the Ninja World War has now come to an end, and most of the people sitting at the table are the losers of the Ninja World War.

Mizunoe Ryosuke actually said that he would not only reverse the situation of everyone's defeat at the banquet, but also bring about the so-called "peace". Naturally, this sounded extremely arrogant.

The reason they came here to attend the Ninja World Talks was that they all knew something about Mizunoe Ryosuke's purpose.

Everyone also knew that if their guess was correct, Mizunoe Ryosuke's crazy words were indeed worthy of his ultimate goal.

Seeing that Ryosuke had already set the tone, the youngest of the Third Kazekage finally couldn't sit still and spoke first.

"Ryosuke, if you have something to say, just say it."

"Of course, we all agree with the two things you mentioned."

"But there has to be a way. Just be honest and tell us what you're going to do."

The Third Kazekage's question expressed the thoughts of most people at the table. Except for the Third Raikage, who had a deeper understanding of Ryosuke's plan, the rest of the people showed expressions of deep agreement.

Hearing this, Mizunoe Ryosuke nodded slowly, agreeing with the Third Kazekage's proposal.

"Ming, open the things."

Mizunoe Ryosuke first turned around and gave instructions to Mei Terumi behind him.

Hearing what Ryosuke said, Terumi Mei took a deep breath and nodded seriously. It was her first time experiencing such a big scene, which made Terumi Mei feel a little nervous. She carried out Mizunoe Ryosuke's orders meticulously.

She took out a sealed scroll from her arms, and then took out the item sealed in the scroll, a huge map of the ninja world.

Then, Mei Terumi formed seals with her hands and launched a wind-style ninjutsu.

For a moment, the map was suspended in the air under the invisible airflow, appearing in front of everyone.

Seeing this, Mizunoe Ryosuke nodded. It seemed that Mei Terumi had not neglected her own practice during this period.

Although at first glance it seemed that she was just using wind escape to make objects float, in fact, to do this required extremely high control over wind escape.

Mei Terumi is incredibly talented and is the only ninja in the original work who carries two different bloodstains. In fact, she inherited the position of the Fifth Mizukage after the Kirigakure Blood Mist Era in the original work.

No matter how you look at it, he is a genius with outstanding talent.

So after thinking about it, Mizunoe Ryosuke finally decided to let Mei Terumi serve as the guard of this Ninja World Conference, which was also a chance to give Mei Terumi the important identity of successor.

Ryosuke had three main considerations for choosing Mei Terumi.

First, Mei Terumi is the fifth Mizukage in the original work. She manages the Hidden Mist Village in an orderly manner, which shows that she has good abilities.

If you want to secure the position of "Kage", unless you have overwhelming combat power in the ninja world, simply being able to fight is not enough. Being a "Kage" also requires sufficient awareness of the overall situation and political consciousness.

These are undoubtedly what Kaguya Yuuta and Hoshigaki Kisame lack. Although these two are loyal and brave, being the shadow of a country is not enough just by being loyal and brave.

Even considering this aspect alone, Mei Terumi is the most suitable candidate.

Even Mangetsu Hozuki, whose talent in Kirigakure is generally recognized as second only to Ryosuke Mizunoe, is actually one step behind Mei Terumi in this regard.

It's like, since you already have an answer that can get 90 points, why take the risk of choosing other answers with unknown results?

Secondly, although Mei Terumi currently holds some fame within the village, her true influence is still far less than that of powerful Kage-level figures like Mangetsu Kizuki. Giving Mei Terumi the title of "Crown Prince" would also prevent those with ulterior motives from overthinking things and causing trouble.
