This Water Shadow is very strong, but overly cautious.

A feminine and handsome face, and short hair as pale as snow.

It was none other than Man Yue.

"Mizunoe Ryosuke, I've been waiting here for a long time."

Mangetsu Hozuki spoke to Ryosuke Mizunoe with a burning gaze.

Seeing this, Ryosuke frowned slightly.

The other party is guarding here, is he trying to cause trouble?

Of course, Ryosuke is not afraid of Mangetsu Kizuki.

"Hidden Jounin, is there something you need from me?"

Mizunoe Ryosuke asked calmly, his eyes calm.

"Mizunoe Ryosuke, also a candidate for Mizukage."

"I recognize your qualifications to be my opponent!"

"I hope to have a fair fight with you next time!"

"I came to you specifically to propose a bet!"

As he spoke, Mangetsu Kizuki's eyes were filled with indescribable heat.

"What bet?"

Mizunoe Ryosuke raised his eyebrows, thinking that the other party was here to cause trouble, but he didn't expect that he was here to propose a "gentleman's agreement". For a moment, Ryosuke was a little amused and helpless.

"No matter who wins or loses in the battle for the Mizukage between you and me!"

"The loser should be content to assist the winner after the other party succeeds to the throne."

"Do you dare to challenge?"

Mangetsu Kizuki's gaze at Mizunoe Ryosuke became increasingly hot, as if he was looking at some priceless treasure.

The look in Mangetsu Hozuki's eyes made Mizunoe Ryosuke a little nervous. Looking at the other party's pretty face that was good enough to debut in a boy group, Ryosuke's heart was beating fast.

Suddenly, Ryosuke suddenly recalled the rumor circulating in the village that Mangetsu Kizuki "doesn't like women".

Mizunoe Ryosuke's eyes suddenly changed.

"Isn't this guy going to have any other ideas?"

Thinking of this, Mizunoe Ryosuke became secretly alert.

"What kind of "assistant" do you mean?"

Seeing Ryosuke's vigilant eyes, Mangetsu Kizuki was a little confused.

"Then I'll be frank. I hope that after I succeed the Mizukage."

"You will be my Anbu!"

Mangetsu Kizuki said this with confidence, her words full of sincerity.

Hearing this, Mizunoe Ryosuke finally felt relieved.

"Are you so confident that you can succeed the Mizukage?"

Mizunoe Ryosuke asked with a smile.

Looking at the feminine face of Mangetsu Hozuki in front of him, Mizunoe Ryosuke found that he had a pretty good impression of him.

"Hahaha!!!!"

"So what if I can't be the Mizukage?"

"It's not shameful to lose to you."

Mangetsu Hozuki said with a big laugh, and with just a few words he had eliminated another competitor, Mizunoe Hideo.

It seems that he doesn't care about Mizunoe Hideo at all.

"Well, do you agree to my bet?"

Mangetsu Kizuki asked again.

At first, Mizunoe Ryosuke was going to refuse.

But after some negotiations, the feeling that Mangetsu Kizuki brought him changed his mind.

"it is good!"

"Now that you've said that, wouldn't it be a bit inconsiderate of the situation for me to refuse again?"

As Mizunoe Ryosuke spoke, he stretched out a hand towards Mangetsu Hozuki in front of him.

"Then I look forward to fighting you!"

Mangetsu Hozuki grabbed Ryosuke Mizunoe's hand and the two of them shook hands hard.

Then, Hozuki Mangetsu turned into a pool of liquid and disappeared on the spot.

After coming out of the Mizukage Building, Mizunoe Ryosuke first went to Kaguya Yuuta's secret base.

He informed her that the village had agreed to return the Kaguya clan's land to Kaguya Yuuta, and that all of Kaguya's previous rebellions had been written off.

The Mist Ninja identities of Kaguya Yuuta and several other Kaguya clan members present were also restored.

Upon hearing this, Kaguya Yuuta was very excited and kept thanking Mizunoe Ryosuke.

In response to this, Mizunoe Ryosuke just smiled and said nothing, and said lightly that it was all thanks to the Third Mizukage, and if anyone wanted to thank someone, thank the Third.

Although he is hiding here, it does not mean that Kaguya Yuuta has cut off the source of information.

Almost at the moment the Jonin Conference ended, thanks to his previous relationship with the Kaguya clan, Kaguya Yuuta already knew everything that happened at the Jonin Conference.

He also knew that it was Mizunoe Ryosuke who used his precious opportunity to help the Kaguya orphans out of their predicament.

After all, the Third Mizukage is dead. If Mizunoe Ryosuke had not stood up to speak for them, the identities of these Kaguya people would probably not be clarified at this moment.

"grown ups!"

"From now on, we, the Hyuga clan, will follow your lead!"

At that moment, Kaguya Yuuta 587 no longer hesitated and led dozens of Kaguya people to kneel on the ground in front of Mizunoe Ryosuke.

Of course he also knew about the present situation where the Third Mizukage had passed away.

The young man in front of him was one of the candidates with the greatest chance of succeeding the Mizukage. Since the Third Mizukage Taki Mizunoe had passed away, joining the ranks of Ryosuke Mizunoe was naturally the only option.

Seeing this, Mizunoe Ryosuke hurriedly helped Kaguya Yuuta up, and secretly sighed: It seems that there will be no shortage of professional thugs and security guards in the future.

Looking at the burly appearance of the Kaguya clan members and their strong muscles all over their bodies, Mizunoe Ryosuke nodded with satisfaction.

After dealing with Kaguya's affairs, Mizunoe Ryosuke set out on his journey home.

When Ryosuke stepped into the entire Mizunoe clan territory, the clan territory that was very bustling in the past was now shrouded in mourning.

From time to time, sounds of crying could be heard from the houses of various tribesmen.

This scene was caused naturally because a large number of tribesmen died in the civil war in the previous battle.

The village's memorial service was scheduled to be held by the Fourth Mizukage after he ascended the throne.

Before this, the families of the deceased ninjas were arranging their funeral affairs.

After sighing inwardly, Mizunoe Ryosuke did not stay for long. Because of his previous low profile, he was not familiar with most of the tribe members except Lian.

When Mizunoe Ryosuke approached his home, his expression suddenly changed.

Chapter 82: Those who take advantage of their age

Because Mizunoe Ren and Mizunoe Rikka already know the secret of Ryosuke's basement.

In addition, since the third generation had died in the war, the two of them simply planned to move to Ryosuke's house.

Because of this, a group of uninvited guests broke into Ryosuke's house.

The living room of Ryosuke's house, which was originally quite spacious, now seemed a bit crowded because there were too many "visitors".

At the Japanese tea table used for entertaining guests in the living room, Mizunoe Rikka and Mizunoe Ren were sitting stiffly at the table, respectfully serving tea to the people in front of them.

The leader took the tea handed to him by Rikka and spoke slowly.

"Lihua, I'm not risking my reputation today for anything else."

"I just hope you can fulfill the wishes of us old guys."

"Let the Mizunoe clan continue to flourish."

This is an old man with white hair and beard, who looks to be at least eighty years old. At this moment, the old man is sitting in the main seat with a condescending look.

Although his attitude seems kind, he exudes an air of taking advantage of his seniority.

"Yes, Rikka."

"We have watched Yinglang grow up since he was a child."

"Plus, when Taki was alive, he also praised Yinglang very much."

"He is also the most reasonable successor to the patriarch in all of our hearts."

"Now that Taki is gone, we also need a suitable candidate to lead the Mizunoe clan to continue."

On the other side, an old man who was a little younger but also had gray hair responded.

"Yeah yeah."

"I think so too."

"That's right, Yinglang is such a good kid."

As the two men finished speaking, the other two old men sitting at the table also spoke in unison in agreement.

Mizunoe Rikka looked around. In addition to the four old men sitting at the table, there were several ninjas from the Mizunoe clan standing at the door. They not only looked serious, but also had extremely unfriendly eyes.

It can be seen that these people have ulterior motives.

Seeing this, Liuhua's face became extremely ugly.

But unfortunately, the four old men at the table are all elders of the Mizunotsuki clan, and they have extraordinary prestige in the clan.

Especially the old man in the lead was the great elder during the previous clan leader's time.

He is Rikka's biological father and Mizunoe Taki's father-in-law. He served as the chief elder of the Mizunoe clan during its period of patriarchy.

After the old man abdicated, he handed the position of grand elder to Mizunoe Hideo's father.

Even if Mizunoe Taki were still alive, he would still have to be respectful when facing this old man.

In the war-torn ninja world, a fifty-year-old ninja is already a rarity, and sixty is considered old. This old man's age is extremely rare.

Apart from the Supreme Elder whose half body was lying in the coffin, the remaining three old men were not simple people either.

The old man with gray hair is Mizunoe Rikka's uncle.

That is, the biological brother of Rika's father.

The remaining two people are also elders who are related to Mizunoe Taki by blood.

Liuhua was very clear about the purpose of this group of old men's visit.

This is also what Mizunoe Rikka has always been worried about.

Finally, at this moment, someone turned their attention to the "Mizukage widows" Mizunoe Rikka and Mizunoe Ren.

"Elder, Second Uncle."

"What are you talking about? I don't quite understand."

Mizunoe Rikka deliberately pretended to be confused and pretended not to understand what the four old men in front of her were saying.

See Mizunoe Rikka playing dumb.

Grand Elder Mizunoe narrowed his eyes, revealing a hint of hostility.

But his attitude remained extremely arrogant, and he didn't seem to be about to speak.

Instead, it was Mizunoe Rikka's second uncle who spoke directly.

"Rikka, since you don't understand."

"Then I'll just say it clearly."
