This Mizukage Is Very Strong, But Overly Cautious

Chapter 23, Everything Is A Trap

In order to seek stability, Mizuki Ryosuke led the team first to the “village’s house” mentioned in the quest scroll to conduct some verification.

This is an unremarkable small village. There are dozens of families living in the village, relying on farming for a living.

In the farmer’s house where Koji Nakajima stayed, a farmer who seemed to be honest and friendly told Mizuki Ryosuke everything he knew.

After some questions and answers, the villagers’ performance was not flawed at all, and it was basically the same as the description in the quest scroll.

And many villagers near the village can testify.

It is extremely difficult for ordinary people to lie in front of ninjas, and Takeda Yoichi in the team is even more expert in this aspect.

After leaving the village, Takeda Yang nodded towards Mizuki Ryosuke, indicating that there was no problem.

Therefore, everyone in the team continued to investigate forward based on the information in the mission scroll.

After another day and night, the team found a dense forest.

All the clues in their hands pointed in this direction.

Soon, they found a hidden trace in the forest.

Taketian Yang grabbed the soil on the ground one by one, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it, and then said with certainty.

“Captain, there is a little bloody smell left in the soil here.”

“It should be a small animal like a rabbit or a squirrel.”

“It looks like someone hunted nearby not long ago.”

Only the blood remains in the mud, and nothing else, such as bones and corpses, remains.

This shows that only humans can do this kind of hunting behavior, and it is a human who does not want to be discovered.

Takeda’s investigation made Mizuki Mitsuhiko and Terumi Mei change their opinions.

After all, such meticulous ability is something they do not possess.

Seeing this, Mizuki Ryosuke nodded in satisfaction.

After tracing and inferring the mission information, it is almost half possible that the predator is Koji Nakajima!

Everyone in the team was overjoyed.

Such a discovery also seems to indicate that Koji Nakajima seems to be nearby.

As it went deeper and deeper into the jungle, some signs of human activity became more and more obvious.

It seems that the mission goal is imminent at the moment!

…………………………..

Underground deep in the forest.

More than a dozen elite members of Rock Shinobi have been waiting here for a long time.

One Elite Jōnin, three Jōnin, and nine Chūnin.

Such a scale can already be regarded as a medium-sized ninja army.

Especially this is Rock Shinobi who is good at group fighting.

Among these Rock Shinobi, the leader is a man with a ferocious spiky head.

The hedgehog’s head is Kagura, and he is a member of the Rock Shinobi blasting force.

And Rock Shinobi’s blasting force is positioned similar to Mist Shinobi’s Seven Ninja Swordsmen.

As a member of the Demolition Force, Hunter not only possesses the strength of Elite Jōnin, but also has the bloodline limit of “Explosion Style”, and his strength is unfathomable.

Even if the Kage-level powerhouses face each other, they may not be able to fight with these Rock Shinobi.

This time, they secretly sneaked into the hinterland of the Land of Water, and their purpose was a top-secret S-class mission.

However, after successfully sneaking in, on the eve of the mission, the younger brother of Kariichi’s compatriot actually died at the hands of Mist Shinobi.

Hunter was immediately furious, knowing that this younger brother was grown up by him.

The two brothers usually have a very good relationship, and they have Explosion Style. Hunter himself is not a person who can endure it.

So now I use my powers and swear to avenge the hatred first.

With the help of some indescribable help, Hunter set up a well-prepared killing game in the deep forest far away from Kirigakure!

When a Mist Shinobi team is inferior to the forest, the secret detection technique deployed at the border of the forest has been triggered.

This also let the underground Rock Shinobi know the news that the other party has arrived.

Hunter stood up suddenly, his eyes flashing like a beast.

“Everyone, the enemy is here.”

“I won’t say more nonsense, the blood debt must be paid in blood!”

“I hope you all can help me!”

Hunter gritted his teeth and said, his eyes were full of violent killing intent.

The Rock Shinobi first looked at each other in dismay, then nodded in agreement and agreed.

Even if the hunter acts privately during the mission, it is a taboo.

But as a member of the Demolition Force, Kaori has a high status in Rock Shinobi.

The ninjas who can perform tasks with Kari are all close to Kari himself.

Of course they would not refuse such a request.

After all, the opponents are just a pair of ordinary Mist Shinobi squads, and they can’t make any waves anyway.

In this way, a powerful Rock Shinobi unit is hiding in the ground, waiting for the prey to step into the trap step by step.

…………

On the other hand, when Mizuki Mitsuhiko was about to volunteer to continue to investigate further, he was pulled by Ryosuke.

“What’s wrong?”

Just when Mizuki Mitsuhiko looked puzzled.

Terumi Mei on the other side seemed to have thought of something, and her expression became a little speechless.

“here we go again……..”

The two previous missions together have given Terumi Mei a deep understanding of the character of Captain Ryosuke.

That is “overly cautious”, even to the point of heinous security.

Mizuki Ryosuke did not explain, but spoke slowly.

“From now on, enter the battle state, and everything will follow my command.”

Seeing Ryosuke’s serious expression, the three of them didn’t dare to express their opinions, so they all nodded.

So, Ryosuke whispered in the ears of the three.

After the three were ordered, they each took the scrolls given by Ryosuke and galloped in three different directions.

After waiting for a while, Mizuki Ryosuke walked towards the depths of the forest alone.

All this was seen by something similar to an “eye” in the dark, and passed to the underground where Rock Shinobi gathered.

“How to deal with this? Lord Hunter?”

A Jōnin asked Hunter.

“It’s okay, clean up this Jōnin first, and the rest of the kid are not worth mentioning.”

Shou looked at the handsome young man in white, his face instantly became extremely hideous.

Because he has already recognized it.

This is the enemy who killed Duff!
