This Water Shadow is very strong, but overly cautious.

But judging by the situation on the field, this Mizunotsuki Jonin has been completely suppressed at this moment, and his defeat is only a matter of time.

Sure enough, within a short while.

Mizunotsuki's Jonin was no match for the opponent's Ninja Cat and was eventually defeated by his opponent.

Finally, it was Mizunoe Hideo's turn to fight the last cat of the opposing team.

But soon, Ryosuke discovered something wrong.

The ninja cats that Mizunoe Hideo fought against seemed a little too neatly organized?

Whether it is Ryosuke's team or the other side's Hozuki team, the fighting ninja cats are composed of two ninja cats who are good at Yin Dun and two ninja cats who are good at Yang Dun respectively.

At this moment, Mizunoe Hideo's opponents were all four Yintun Ninja Cats.

Is this a coincidence? Or is it something else?

Could it be that there is also the phenomenon of "more yin than yang" within Ninja Cat?

Mizunoe Ryosuke turned his gaze to the edge of the ring and saw the thin figure next to the burly figure of the cat boss, the cat elder named Lynx.

"Is there any connection between all this?"

Thinking of this, Mizunoe Ryosuke narrowed his eyes.

Chapter 125: The conspiracy is exposed

Once doubts arose in his mind, Ryosuke began to observe Mizunoe Hideo's battle carefully.

Although from beginning to end, he did not take Ryosuke, his "rival" who was competing with him for the position of Mizukage, seriously.

But there is a saying that goes, despise your opponent strategically and take him seriously tactically.

Arrogance is always a ninja's greatest enemy.

I have to say that Mizunoe Hideo is quite capable.

He had mastered various Mizunotsuki's ice escape techniques and was very skilled in their use.

Moreover, the speed of hand seals, the timing of releasing ninjutsu and the power of ninjutsu have all reached a very excellent level.

Under Mizunoe Hideo's attack, his opponent was completely beaten and couldn't even raise his head.

At first glance, it seems that the two are not opponents of the same level at all.

Mizunoe Ryosuke frowned slightly.

In order to prove his guess, Ryosuke smiled and slowly asked a person on the other side who had been paying attention to Mizunoe Hideo's arena.

"Friend, who do you think will win this game?"

After hearing the sound coming from beside him, the ninja cat who was originally concentrating on watching the battle turned his head and suddenly saw a human who appeared beside him without knowing when.

"what!!"

Ninja Cat was startled at first, then seemed to react.

"You are the human who defeated Nekonosuke!"

In shock, his voice was a little obvious, which immediately attracted the attention of many ninja cats.

"Shh!"

Ryosuke just raised one finger slightly, put it to his lips, and made a gesture of silence.

Seeing this, the ninja cat suddenly reacted.

When he thought that Nekonosuke, who seemed extremely powerful to him, was knocked down by this human in just a few moves, Shinobu Cat felt a little scared for a moment.

He didn't understand why such a powerful human suddenly appeared beside him.

"this"

"that"

"This human should win."

"It's a bit strange. Mao Luxi's strength should be more than this. What happened today?"

Faced with Ryosuke's question, after hesitating for a while, the ninja cat still chose to answer Ryosuke's question.

The "Cat Lucy" mentioned by this ninja cat is obviously the ninja cat who is fighting with Mizunoe Hideo on the ring.

He does not mean that.

The ninja cat's answer made Ryosuke even more suspicious.

So he then asked the ninja cat a question.

"Were the previous battles exciting?"

"Did you enjoy watching it?"

Mizunoe Ryosuke asked with a smile, a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

"of course!"

"I have to say, you humans are really capable!"

“There’s another one before it.”

Perhaps Ryosuke's question hit the ninja cat's sweet spot, and the ninja cat began to excitedly tell Ryosuke about the previous battles.

Mizunoe Ryosuke listened with a serious look on his face, which made the ninja cat speak more enthusiastically.

After hearing the last part, Mizunoe Ryosuke had roughly understood the battle situation of Mizunoe Hideo's team just now.

In general, the first three battles were all evenly matched, and unlike this battle, it did not show a one-sided trend from the beginning.

While the ninja cat was still chattering, in the blink of an eye, Mizunoe Ryosuke disappeared without a trace.

This made Shinobi Cat very shocked, and she was even unsure for a moment whether the Mizunoe Ryosuke she had just seen was a human or a ghost.

It was not until he saw Ryosuke's figure appear in the distance on the other side of the Colosseum and greeted him with a smile that Shinobi Cat calmed down.

At the same time, a hint of awe appeared in his eyes as he looked at Ryosuke.

Before this, Ryosuke just had doubts.

After a conversation, Ryosuke was basically certain that there was something seriously wrong with Mizunoe Eiro.

According to Ryosuke's observation, the strength of the ninja cats sent out by the ninja cat clan in this competition cannot be said to be exactly the same as the three teams of Kirigakure, but it can be said to be extremely close.

If we say that Ryosuke's team is ranked from strongest to weakest.

Then Mizunoe Hideo's team is ranked as "two strong and two weak".

Correspondingly, the ninja cats on the opposite side must also be based on the strength standard of "two strong and two weak".

According to what the ninja cat said earlier, the first three battles were evenly matched and the winner was decided after a long fight.

This shows that the first three battles were in a relatively balanced state.

But why did it become a crushing defeat as soon as Mizunoe Hideo appeared?

Logically speaking, his opponent should be at a similar level to him.

Even if Mizunoe Hideo is strong enough to win, there will inevitably be a fight.

Is it because Mizunoe Hideo has the "kingly aura" and "pig-foot halo"?

Of course not.

There is only one answer, that is, the ninja cat who was fighting against Mizunoe Hideo "let go".

So why would Ninja Cat, who has no relationship with Mizunoe Eiro, let him go?

The answer is already very clear.

And during the time that Ryosuke was thinking, the ninja cat fighting against Mizunoe Hideo was already in danger and seemed likely to be defeated at any time.

At this moment, in order to be on the safe side, Ryosuke used the same method he used before to test his opponent's strength and released a wave of mental shock to the ninja cat who was fighting with Mizunoe Hideo on the ring.

But then, the ninja cat on the ring seemed to be fine and was not affected at all.

This shows that this ninja cat has extremely high mental power!

Seeing this, Ryosuke was certain that there must be something seriously wrong.

Mizunoe Hideo's team passed two levels without any damage.

Before the battle, Elder Lynx and Mizunoe Hideo looked at each other inexplicably.

A lynx elder with special skills in Yin Dun.

The four Yin-type ninja cats that Mizunoe Hideo's team fought against.

The ninja cat who let down Mizunoe Hideo at the critical moment.

Connecting all the collected clues, there is only one answer in the end.

That is Mizunoe Hideo, who may have colluded with the elder of the Ninja Cat Clan known as "Lynx" for a long time.

All these conveniences were provided to Mizunoe Hideo by the elder named "Lynx".

Previously, the Cat Boss was able to directly take Mizunoe Ryosuke across two levels, which undoubtedly shows that the elders of the Ninja Cat Clan have such authority.

But soon, Mizunoe Ryosuke thought of another thing.

Before the battle began, an elder named Lynx read out the rules.

After completing the current assessment, you will need to challenge one of the two ninja cat elders. Only the winner can reach the last level and qualify to obtain the "Mizukage Secret Scroll".

And if things go as expected, Mizunoe Hideo will definitely choose to challenge the Lynx Elder.

As long as Elder Lynx gives him some leniency, Mizunoe Hideo will pass the test effortlessly.

After understanding everything, Mizunoe Ryosuke showed a unique smile.

"Good boy tent!"

"Playing dirty with me?"

What no one knew was that the brighter Mizunoe Ryosuke smiled, the colder he became inside.

Chapter 126, Honest Team

There is a saying that goes, when you see the tip of the iceberg emerge, there is actually a more terrifying haze hidden beneath the sea surface.

At first glance, it seemed that Mizunoe Hideo had merely obtained some advantages from the elder named Lynx.

But if you think about it more deeply, why would a cat elder living deep in the mountains collude with Mizunoe Hideo from the Hidden Mist Village thousands of miles away?

Could it be that it was just because I took one more look at him in the crowd?

This is of course impossible.

The reason must be that Elder Lynx and Mizunoe Hideo have established some kind of interest relationship.

This is why Elder Lynx works so hard to pave the way for Mizunoe Hideo.

With Elder Lynx as an "insider", the possibility of Mizunoe Hideo finally obtaining the "Mizukage Secret Scroll" will increase infinitely.

No one can predict what the final fourth level will be like.

Although according to Boss Cat, only Elvis knew the content of the fourth level at this time.

But if the authority of the two elders of the Ninja Cat Clan is involved at that time, Mizunoe Hideo will definitely overwhelm Ryosuke and Hozuki Mangetsu.

With the favoritism of Elder Lynx, Mizunoe Hideo will definitely gain enough advantages.

After all, if you were Elvis, at the critical moment, would you side with the elders of the tribe who have always worked diligently, or would you side with a few foreigners you have never met?

The saying "It's easier to get things done if you have someone in the court" is not groundless.

At first glance.

Although Mizunoe Hideo has some connection with the Lynx Elder, didn't Ryosuke also establish a certain friendship with the Cat Boss?

It will be smoothed out soon after all this coming and going?

Of course Ryosuke wouldn't be so childish.

The relationship between him and the Cat Boss can only be considered as a nodding acquaintance between gentlemen. The reason why the Cat Boss chose to help Ryosuke was because he admired Ryosuke's contribution to the cat clan.

At least for now, it is impossible to get Cat Boss to give in directly to his face because of the friendship between Ryosuke and Cat Boss.

But Mizunoe Hideo is completely different.
