This Water Shadow is very strong, but overly cautious.

"I see"

"I see!"

Only then did Mangetsu realize all the connections.

At the same time, the senior ninjas in Kirigakure also showed expressions of surprise.

Everyone expressed that this result was somewhat unexpected, but in fact it was understandable.

On the other hand, in order to pursue their own interests, the Ninja Cat Clan is also assessing three teams and selecting contractors who can carry the bond between the Cat Clan and Kirigakure.

According to the appeal made by Elvis, we can know that the ninja cat clan is not satisfied with the current living environment.

After years of development, the Ninja Cat Clan urgently needs a new "653" development direction.

Nowadays, most of the places suitable for survival in the ninja world have been occupied by various summoning beast races and humans.

If the Ninja Cat Clan wants to expand outward, they have only two options.

Or start a war and seize the territory of other spirit beasts.

Or they can unite with humans, obtain their help, and use humans as a springboard to enter the ninja world.

War is obviously not what the Ninja Cat Clan wants, and when it comes to cooperation, the most qualified one in the Land of Water is naturally Kirigakure, one of the five major ninja villages.

Therefore, the final winner of this assessment will not only become a qualified Mizukage of the Hidden Mist Village, but will also become a contractor recognized by the Ninja Cat Clan.

This contractor will also become the bond of cooperation between the Ninja Cat Clan and the Hidden Mist Village.

The current assessment is more like a unilateral assessment by the Hidden Mist Village to select the Mizukage.

It is better to say that it is a double assessment conducted jointly by the Ninja Cat Clan and the Kirigakure.

On the one hand, the Ninja Cat Clan broadcast the entire assessment process of the three Mizukage candidates to the Jounin of Kirigakure through "live broadcast".

Let the senior ninjas understand the performance of the three candidates to determine whether the candidates are qualified to succeed the Mizukage.

At the same time, as the basis for cooperation, Elvis will hand the psychic scroll to the contractor to show his sincerity.

Any human who signs his or her name on the Ninja Cat Clan's summoning scroll is eligible to use summoning techniques to summon any Ninja Cat in the Ninja Cat Clan.

With such authority, he can be regarded as the first person after Elvis Presley.

This is nothing more than Elvis being extremely cautious about whether to give out the psychic scroll.

It can be said that mastering the psychic scroll means mastering most of the cat tribe's combat power.

In other words, the so-called "Secret Scroll of Water Shadow" actually did not exist in the first place.

Perhaps it can be said that the "Secret Scroll of the Mizukage" is actually the "Summoning Scroll" of the Ninja Cat Clan.

Only if Kirigakure meets Elvis's three conditions will Elvis hand over the summoning scroll of the Ninja Cat clan.

For Kirigakure, achieving cooperation with the Ninja Cat Clan is the true meaning of this S-level mission.

This is also the assessment content given by the Kirigakure high-level officials to the three Mizukage successors.

Before the three of them came to the Kingdom of Cats, this cooperation was probably only at the "project establishment" level.

In order to complete the cooperation, the three of them need to use their own actions to impress the Elvis in exchange for the Ninja Cat Clan's summoning scroll.

Of course, it was only after Mizunoezuki Ryosuke guessed that the so-called "Secret Scroll of the Mizukage" was actually the "Summoning Scroll" of the Ninja Cat Clan that he dared to ask the Ninja Cat Clan for conditions for support.

After all, the "Summoning Scroll" has been given, so the one hundred ninja cats every year are not a big deal.

In order to express his sincerity in cooperation, Elvis also agreed to Mizunoe Ryosuke's request.

And doing so is not without benefits for the Ninja Cat Clan.

Elvis has already made up his mind to use Kirigakure as a springboard to enter the ninja world.

So why not just take this opportunity to send out ninja cats to build friendships and bonds with the ninjas of Kirigakure in advance, and make preparations for the future development and growth of the ninja cat clan in the ninja world.

After layers of bargaining, Kirigakure and the Ninja Cat Clan finally reached a win-win situation.

And there is no doubt that the contractor who holds the Ninja Cat Summoning Scroll will be the biggest winner.

Mizunoe Ryosuke didn't hesitate and directly wrote his name on the summoning scroll of the Ninja Cat Clan.

On the snow-white scroll, he engraved the five big words "Mizunoe Ryosuke" with blood, and then pressed a clear palm print on the scroll with his bloody palm.

At this moment, Ryosuke could clearly feel that his spirit had established some kind of connection with the Ninja Cat Clan through the summoning scroll in front of him.

The moment he wrote this name in blood, Ryosuke knew that the position of Mizukage was already in his pocket.

On the other side, Mangetsu Hozuki looked at Ryosuke Mizunoe's actions and a hint of envy appeared in his eyes, but that was all.

He also knew what it meant to write his name on this scroll.

He is a ghost who can afford to play and lose.

"It seems that I will have to work diligently in the position of Minister An in the future."

Man Yue Hu sighed in her heart and shook her head secretly.

Kirigakure Village, inside the Mizukage Building.

At this moment, all the senior ninjas understood what this assessment was all about.

The joining of Ninja Cat is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for Kirigakure at this time when Kirigakure is extremely weak.

The mission of the three Mizukage candidates who went to the Cat Kingdom was not only to win the hearts of the villagers with their performance, but also to conquer the Elvis King with their own efforts and gain his recognition.

The person who completes the Ninja Cat assessment and facilitates Ninja Cat's joining Kirigakure is naturally Kirigakure's biggest contributor and the biggest winner of this mission.

At this moment, Mizunoe Ryosuke, who completed the task, not only demonstrated his own qualities, but also brought great benefits to the Hidden Mist Village through his own efforts.

The performances of the three Mizukage candidates were seen by all the jonin, and there was no need to say who was stronger and who was weaker.

“Wisdom, strength, perseverance, faith, and overall perspective”

"To become an excellent Mizukage, these elements are indispensable."

"This assessment was a decision I made after discussing it with the village elders."

"Now, I declare the assessment over."

At this moment, Master Maeda slowly stood up and glanced at all the jonin in the conference room.

The senior ninjas knew in their hearts that after several days of waiting, the most critical moment had finally arrived.

"Everyone, I think you are already clear about the process of the assessment."

"I won't say any more nonsense."

"From now on, everyone can cast your votes based on the performance of the three Mizukage candidates."

"Your vote will determine the future of the village, so please vote carefully."

As he spoke, Master Maeda once again took out the three familiar ballot boxes.

Then he spoke again.

"I, Maeda Genshi, will also cast the first vote."

"My ideal candidate for Mizukage is Mizunoe Ryosuke!"

As Master Maeda pronounced the name, all the jonins showed a look of "as expected" in their eyes.

Later, during the candidate voting period, the senior ninjas who chose to follow Maeda Genshi and abstain from voting also cast their votes for Mizunoe Ryosuke.

Including the senior ninjas such as Kuroshima Morita who supported Ryosuke when he was a candidate, Ryosuke now has 47 votes.

At the same time, a young Jonin stood up from the crowd and spoke slowly.

"I, Jiang Zhishu, am convinced by the performance of Mizunoe Ryosuke, a jonin!"

"I'm willing to vote for Mizunoe Ryosuke Jonin!"

The ninja named Jiang Zhishu spoke slowly, with a hint of admiration and determination in his tone.

This Jiang Zhishu was the civilian ninja who took the Jonin Exam with Ryosuke.

He has a good reputation among the civilian jonin of the Hidden Mist Village and is considered a "commoner genius" type of ninja.

As a civilian ninja, Jiang Zhishu also chose to abstain from voting during the candidate selection stage.

At this moment, Jiang Zhishu was obviously impressed by Ryosuke's performance and chose to vote for Ryosuke.

As soon as Jiang Zhishu expressed his position, another twenty civilian jonin immediately chose to stand on Ryosuke's side.

Soon, Ryosuke's votes will break through the 70 mark!

Such a number of votes has basically confirmed the top spot. The next suspense is whether Ryosuke's votes can exceed 50% of the total number of jonins, just like when a normal Mizukage succeeds to the throne?

Ryosuke's votes were still increasing sporadically. Suddenly, a senior ninja from the Mizunoe clan slowly stood up, walked to the ballot box with the name "Mizunoe Ryosuke" written on it, and cast his vote.

"you!"

Another Mizunotsuki jonin was somewhat shocked by the jonin's sudden change of formation, with a hint of anger in his eyes.

Obviously, he is a die-hard fan of Mizunoe Hideo.

But suddenly, three more Mizunoe jonin chose to cast their votes for Mizunoe Ryosuke.

They are not blind, nor are they stupid. When it is obvious that Mizunoe Hideo is doomed, they still insist on staying on Mizunoe Hideo's broken ship and fighting to the death.

Furthermore, when Ryosuke is obviously ten times better than Mizunoe Eiro, why do they still have to hold on to Mizunoe Eiro?

You know, Mizunoe Ryosuke is also a member of the Mizunoe clan, and after becoming the Mizukage, he may not be any less important to the Mizunoe clan than Mizunoe Eiro.

Before, these senior ninjas stood firmly on the side of Mizunoe Hideo simply because of some minor interests involved.

In the current situation, if you don't choose to protect yourself and are still unwilling to give up those few benefits, then you will only be playing with fire and getting burned together with Mizunoe Hideo.

The other ninjas who originally chose to support Mizunoe Hideo, seeing that the ninjas of the Mizunoe clan had already defected, felt that there was no need for them to stick with Mizunoe Hideo to the end.

Most people cast their votes for Ryosuke, and a small number cast their votes for Mangetsu Hozuki.

Finally, almost all the jonin present cast their votes.

It’s time for the exciting vote counting session.

"For the sake of fairness, the votes of the jonin in each of the three mission teams will be counted on the heads of their respective captains."

Master Maeda spoke slowly to everyone, and no one objected to his words because it was obviously a very fair proposal.

But unfortunately, the three teammates in Mizunoe Ryosuke's team have obviously not reached the level of Jonin yet.

Next, Master Maeda read out the ballots one by one.

"Ryosuke Mizunoe"

"Ryosuke Mizunoe"

"Ryosuke Mizunoe"

"Ghost Lantern Full Moon"

""

There is no need to say much about the results of the vote, but everyone had different expressions. When Maeda Genshi counted the votes, they all looked forward to what the new era that Kirigakure was about to enter would be like.

The current result is still acceptable to those who support Man Yue Gui Deng.

But for the remaining forces of Mizunoe Hideo, it was a fatal blow.

A senior ninja from the Mizunoe clan who still supported Mizunoe Hideo looked as if he had been scapegoated.

Finally, the counting of votes is over.

Maeda Motoshi announced the results of the vote count.

"Mizunoe Hideo, total"

"Four votes."

As soon as Master Maeda said this, two senior ninjas who were not giving him face burst out laughing.

There are four votes in total. Combined with the rules just announced by Master Maeda, there are obviously votes from the three jonin who teamed up with Mizunoe Hideo.

Among all the jonin present, only one person voted for Mizunoe Hideo

As for who is the biggest grudge, there is naturally no need to say more.

The Mizunoe Jonin who voted for Mizunoe Hideo slowly covered his face with his hands. It was so embarrassing, so embarrassing!

"Full Moon of Ghost Lantern, a total of twenty votes!"
