This water shadow is strong, but too cautious

Hearing this, Minadutsu Ryosuke's expression didn't change at all, he knew that from the moment he chose to save Tsunade, this question was doomed to be unavoidable.

His answers were also straightforward.

"The reason is very simple, because you are Senju Tsunade!"

Ryosuke Minadutsu stared into Tsunade's blue eyes, and answered directly without the slightest evasion.

"what?!"

In Tsunade's heart, he had expected that the other party might try to coax her through with some rhetoric, or say some blushing words to try to influence her, but he never expected Ryosuke's answer to be so direct.

"why?"

Tsunade's brain went down for a while, and some of them went into trouble without knowing it.

A hint of deepness flashed in Ryosuke Minadutsu's eyes, he did not intend to deceive Tsunade on this issue.

In other words, he chose to explain some of his purposes to Tsunade straightforwardly.

Before that, only by being open and honest can we gain trust between the two parties, so as to ensure that the hastily established fetters will not be broken.

"Because I am the fourth generation Mizukage of Wuyin Village."

Minadutsu Ryosuke spoke seriously, and directly disclosed his identity to Tsunade.

"what!"

Tsunade was shocked, and her lovely face was filled with shock.

She looked at Ryosuke Minadutsu in disbelief, similar to Sansho Hanzo, at this time Tsunade's understanding of Kirigakure was limited to the fact that Kirigakure had completed Mizukage's relief not long ago.

As for who the new Mizukage was, what he looked like, and what his name was, she didn't pay any extra attention.

In fact, this is also quite normal. Although he is Mizukage, Ryosuke has not made any great feats in the ninja world since his succession, nor has he competed with any long-established strong man in front of the public.

So such a result is naturally understandable.

In the entire Konoha, only some high-level officials in power have detailed information on Ryosuke Minazuki.

As if to prove the credibility of the words, Ryosuke Minadutsu took off a ring from the middle finger of his left hand and placed it in front of Tsunade's eyes.

A clear word "water" appeared in the middle of the ring.

Ring of Water Shadow!

Tsunade is really familiar with this, because her master Sarutobi Hiruzen also wears a similar ring on his left hand, but the word engraved in the middle of the ring has become a "fire" character.

Regarding the origin of the five shadow rings, it is not that each of the five major ninja villages found someone to engrave one blindly. In fact, these five rings all came from Konoha.

It was a gift given to the other four shadows when Senjujuma held the first ninja world meeting, and it can be regarded as a witness of the original peace in the ninja world.

Chapter 177, A Great Ninja

The appearance of the Ring of Water Shadow is enough to prove everything.

Tsunade took the ring and looked at it carefully. Relying on her connection with past Hokage, she quickly determined that it was indeed the Ring of Mizukage.

"Four Generations...Mizukage..."

The title of "Shadow" is not something that anyone can bear casually.

The ninja world is so big that there are only five shadows.

Anyone bearing the title of "Shadow" represents the pinnacle of power and strength of a great country.

Tsunade never expected that under such circumstances, she would establish such a bond with Mizukage of Wuyin Village.

After learning Ryosuke's identity, Tsunade felt more and more doubts.

Moreover, even if Ryosuke Minadutsu revealed his identity as Mizukage, he has no obligation or position to save Tsunade.

Recalling Ryosuke Minadutsu who suddenly appeared in Hanzo's lair, the confusion in Tsunade's heart increased instead of diminishing.

"Master Mizukage..."Six Eighty Zero"."

"How did it appear in Yuren Village?"

Although Tsunade is a princess of the Senju clan and has two Hokages in his ancestors, even so, when he meets Mizukage whose status is comparable to Hokage, he still has to use the honorific title.

After hearing Tsunade's words, Ryosuke Minadutsu's eyes became a little deep, and he also knew that what he said just now aroused Tsunade's inner vigilance.

But these are not important, it is inevitable to get closer to Tsunade and Konoha.

Relationships built with deception are doomed to fail in the long run.

"No need to use honorific titles."

"It's a long story, and it's not good to stand here all the time."

"Let's find a place to sit down, and I'll tell you slowly."

Minadutsu Ryosuke said softly, without any pretensions of a country.

Ryosuke's gentle attitude also made Tsunade feel a little guilty, as if her attitude was a little too aggressive.

But soon, out of the sense of responsibility to Senshou and Konoha, Tsunade still suppressed these feelings of guilt. After all, Tsunade has never been a person who favors his sons and daughters' personal relationships in the face of big right and wrong.

"Please come with me."

Tsunade shook his head, got rid of the distracting thoughts in his heart, and led Ryosuke Mizumuzuki to go deeper into the wet bone forest.

Seeing this, Ryosuke didn't hesitate, but followed Tsunade silently.

Neither of them spoke, since Ryosuke Minaduki revealed his identity, there seemed to be an invisible barrier between them.

In the chaotic ninja world, this is also a normal thing.

Although the relationship between Konoha and Kirigakure is not hostile, it can't be said to be good.

In the world of ninjas, murder, deceit, lies, betrayal...  

All of these are just commonplace, and there are many stories in the ninja world where they greet each other with a smile one second, and turn to each other with a knife the next.

The price of trusting others easily is often extremely heavy.

The faces of the two were very calm, and it was impossible to see what the two were thinking at the moment.

...............

Soon, Tsunade brought Ryosuke Minaduki to a giant tree.

This giant tree is significantly different from other towering giant trees.

Unlike other giant trees, the roots and trunk of this giant tree on the ground have been hollowed out and transformed into a tree house with a unique style.

However, because the giant tree has a diameter of at least 20 meters, it is more appropriate to call it a "tree castle" rather than a "tree house".

The weird thing is, logically speaking, the big tree whose trunk and roots have been hollowed out should have withered and died, but this giant tree is still full of vitality, and it doesn't look like it will wither at all. Compared with other giant trees, it has more vitality. .

Compared with this towering giant tree, Ryosuke and Tsunade are like a small ant.

Tsunade came to the rhizome at the bottom of the giant tree familiarly. There was a small wooden door here. Tsunade opened the door and took Ryosuke into the inside of the giant tree.

Following the corridor formed by the roots of the giant tree, Ryosuke and Tsunade came to the inside of the trunk of the giant tree.

The simple and warm scene then came into Ryosuke's eyes.

All the furniture in the tree castle is made of wood, there are some food and daily necessities piled up in the corner of the room, and there are many photos of the owner of the room hanging on the wall.

In the center of the inner wall of the tree castle, there was a photo that caught Ryosuke Minadutsu's attention.

A black-haired man and a white-haired man held up a blond-haired loli. In the photo, the black-haired man smiled extravagantly, while the grim-looking white-haired man smiled lightly.

And the blonde loli's smile was also extremely bright, like a bright little sun.

There are countless photos like this, all of which are trivial photos of life.

Ryosuke also recognized the protagonist in the photo.

It was Senju Hashima, Senju Higama, and the young Tsunade.

"This was the place where Grandpa and Second Grandpa practiced and lived."

"Please sit down."

As Tsunade spoke, he pointed to the wooden coffee table and chairs in the center of the room.

Liang Jie was not polite when he heard the words, and then sat down after nodding slightly.

Tsunade's words explained the origin of the tree house. I am afraid that only Senju Hashirama has the ability to hollow out this giant tree and still keep the giant tree from dying...  …

This tree house should be the place where Qianshou Zhujian lived when he was practicing immortality in the wet bone forest.

According to Tsunade's words, it can be known that the second generation of Naruto Senju Hima also came to this place.

As for the reason why Feijian came to Shigulin, Ryosuke guessed that it should also be for the fairy art.

As for why Qianshou Feijian also practiced fairy art, but it was never shown in the original book, the reason is also very simple-of course, the practice failed.

"It seems that the second generation of Hokage does not have the talent to practice immortal arts."

Ryosuke secretly sighed in his heart.

"call........."

What Ryosuke didn't notice was that there was an indescribable complexity in Tsunade's eyes.What he didn't even know was that besides the three people in the photo, he was the first person to come here.

Soon, Tsunade came to Ryosuke with a pot of hot tea, and after offering it to Ryosuke, she stopped talking.

"I didn't expect to see the traces left by Hashirama-sama and Tobima-sama in my lifetime."

Minadutsu Ryosuke held the hot tea that Tsunade handed over, and said with some emotion.

Hearing this, a trace of nostalgia and sadness flashed in Tsunade's eyes, but he quickly recovered.

"Master Mizukage, have you also paid attention to the matter of Grandpa and Second Grandpa?"

Tsunade still addressed Ryosuke Minadutsu with his respectful title, and there was a slight distance between his words.

"Of course, the names of the first Hokage and the second Hokage are naturally known to everyone in the ninja world."

"Hashira-sama's courage to create peace for the ninja world is admirable."

Minadutsu Ryosuke didn't care about the alienation in Tsunade's words, but praised Hashirama without hesitation.

"Mizukage-sama, will you also appreciate Hokage?"

Seeing Ryo 2.2suke's attitude, Tsunade was a little surprised.

Belonging to different Ninja Villages, there is a tense relationship between them.

Theoretically speaking, Ryosuke Minadutsu at this moment has the same status as Senjujuma, but his attitude is full of respect from juniors to seniors, which also surprised Tsunade a little.

"of course."

"Whether it is strength, courage or pattern."

"No one in the ninja world can compare with Master Hashirama."

A trace of seriousness flashed in Minadutsu Ryosuke's eyes, after all, with Senju Bashirama's open strength, it is definitely enough to make the ninja world proud.

And no matter in terms of ethics or the principles he has always adhered to, Senju Bashima really deserves the title of "God of Ninjas".

Although Senshouzhujian entrusted the Nine Tailed Beasts and created peace for future generations, he has completely failed, but he has also managed to end the troubled times, overwhelm a generation, and create a relatively stable one-country-one-village system for the ninja world.

Senjujuma is undoubtedly a great ninja.

Chapter 178, just because I took another look

Ryosuke's modesty and politeness made Tsunade's inner defenses slightly relaxed.

If it wasn't from the heart, with Ryosuke Minadutsu's status and identity, there is absolutely no need to praise Senju Hashirama.

It can be seen that Minadutsu Ryosuke is really in awe of Senju Hashirama, the god of ninjas.

Everything the predecessors did, being recognized by the hostile Ninja Village Kage, also made Tsunade faintly proud, and the eyes looking at Ryosuke became softer.

But some things cannot be avoided after all, and there must always be a reasonable explanation.

In this regard, Ryosuke didn't mean to hide it, but spoke slowly.
