Chapter 233 The Woman with Eight-Pack Abs (Subscription Request)
As soon as he arrived in the Land of Rain, Ryosuke was eager to see what kind of person could impress the Rain Ninja of the Hidden Rain Village as an ordinary person.
But Kusanagi Akebi had always used the excuse of being outside and never approached the capital city, so he had no chance to see him.
But he was still a native of this country after all, and it seemed that he had no intention of moving to another country, so after Ryosuke's repeated requests, the former monarch was finally willing to come to see him,
And he was not alone, beside him, there was also a heroic woman with short black hair, tall figure, and a red short scarf.
Heroic, not only because of her facial features, but also because of her momentum,
Sharp and sharp like a blade, whether it was murderous or cold, it was very easy for people to feel fear and surrender.
"Ninja?"
Ryosuke's reincarnation eyes had already been opened, and everything about the two people in front of him, both externally and internally, was clearly exposed in his eyes.
Naturally, he also noticed the flow of chakra in the woman's body.
Maybe she is a jonin, or at least a chunnin, anyway, her strength is definitely not bad,
Her body is very well trained, every muscle is very symmetrical, and it can be seen that she is a master of physical skills,
The chakra flow in her body is very smooth, and her control seems to be not low at all.
However, without really seeing her take action, Ryosuke cannot confirm the other party's strength level at a glance, but as long as she is a ninja, there is nothing to pay attention to.
And as an ordinary person like Kusashige Ake, it seems reasonable to often bring a ninja around to protect himself.
After all, although he has only been the king for less than half a year, he can let the ninja serve him, and of course he has the ability to keep people around him when he loses his status.
But this ability...
"You... are not from this world, right? The name should be fake."
Ryosuke smiled and looked at Kusashige Ake, his tone was very affirmative.
As for his words, Kusashige Ake in front of him was obviously stunned for a moment, and then looked back at him with some confusion, "I don't know... what does Ryosuke mean?"
He seemed very confused.
Whether it was the body language, the demeanor, or even the tone of voice, they were all exactly the same.
The Samsara Eye had already locked the two of them in his field of vision from all directions. Every movement of theirs, even the details that they themselves might not notice, were clearly displayed in Ryosuke's eyes.
But... there was no problem.
There was nothing wrong with their behavior. They were just two innocent people who really didn't know what was going on.
"Nothing, I just think... with Mr. Kusagi's ability, he shouldn't be just a small village chief before this."
Looking at them deeply for a long time, Ryosuke chuckled again and replied: "Since you have the courage to face the envoys of various countries, and the courage to welcome our Hyuga into the country and serve us as the master, I really find it hard to believe that you were just a village chief before this."
"Mr. Kusagi is too kind."
Kushi is very modest, "In fact, there is nothing wrong with being a village chief."
"Isn't peace and worry-free a great joy in life?"
"Mr. Kusagi has a good attitude, please sit down."
Ryosuke sat down in the main seat first, and then extended his hand to signal the two to sit down.
The two were not polite and sat down directly opposite him.
"But..."
But as soon as they sat down, Ryosuke spoke again, "From what Mr. Kusagi said, it seems that there was a bad experience in the past?"
He asked casually while filling the kettle with water and heating it.
Although he didn't look at the two people, but only paid attention to the action of making tea, in fact, Ryosuke's reincarnation eye didn't need to deliberately observe the two people, and he could lock them through his ability.
The deliberate gaze at the beginning was just pretending to confuse the two people.
After all, Hyuga's name is almost known to everyone in the ninja world, and the action just now was just to make the two people think that he didn't open his Byakugan.
Ryosuke's reincarnation eye is different from ordinary pupil techniques. As long as the posture when the eyes are open is intentionally concealed, it will be difficult to be detected.
In response to his question, Kusanagi hesitated for a moment, "After all, I am just an ordinary person."
"My hometown... is in a remote village near the national border. Although it is registered, it has not received any attention from the country."
"When I was a child, there were continuous wars on the border, and people from other countries would invade from time to time. There were many vagrant ninjas and samurai who took advantage of the situation. There were always a few days a month when people came to our village. Things like bullying and robbery were common during that time."
"It was not until the war stabilized later that the previous village chief had some foresight and saved some foundation for the village. Only then did we have the opportunity to move to a relatively stable area. Although it is also a remote mountainous area, it is also secluded and safer."
The tone seemed very helpless, "I am not a ninja, and I can't become a ninja. Without combat power, it means that I will not be taken seriously in this country."
"But even so, I still hope to do something for the people around me, so that everyone in the village can live more comfortably. It is also because of this idea that I have been working hard, so I have the opportunity to be valued by the previous village chief and succeed him as the new village chief."
Ryosuke nodded and handed them two cups of hot tea.
The Land of Rain used to be a country dominated by fighting.
For those who cannot become ninjas and have no fighting power, the Hidden Rain Village will not pay attention to them, and the Akatsuki organization will not pay attention to them. This is indeed true.
Whether it is the other party's performance when he stared at Kusanagi,
or when Ryosuke looked away, his movements and expressions were extremely natural.
The performance and explanation are also very good. It seems... It really doesn't seem like a person from another world, but an ordinary villager from the Land of Rain. He even has memories of this land when he was young and rejects the war.
But... Why is it so weird?
Ryosuke looked uncomfortable, chuckled and talked about the customs of the Rain Country again.
Talking about the unfamiliarity of the Hyuga after arriving in this country, and the good times in Konoha.
And Kusashige Akebi also cooperated with the conversation. His tone already regarded Ryosuke as his superior and the king. He was completely facing him as an employee and a minister, answering his questions, and making timely suggestions for the future governance of the country.
As the conversation deepened, the strangeness in Ryosuke's heart was infinitely magnified.
He always felt that... Kusashige Akebi had been trying to control the rhythm of the conversation, and even predicted every question he asked.
Except for his family, Ryosuke never relaxed with other people, and would not easily believe what others said.
Even if they were people in the clan, even if they had been with him for many years, Hyuga Hoshia and Hyuga Souji, Ryosuke only believed eight points of their words in his heart, and left two points of doubt.
Only in this way, he would be more likely to accept it as a matter of course when others betrayed him in the future.
"I always feel that Mr. Kusamaji is like a worm in my stomach."
Ryosuke looked at Kusamaji with emotion, "Every time I just think of a question and raise it, you can give me a very satisfactory answer."
"It is my honor to meet you, sir. I also hope that you can govern this country well with the Saki family in the future."
After realizing the possibility that the other party has been trying to control the rhythm of the conversation, he temporarily gave up the idea of testing.
Perhaps... when Kusamaji let out a little bit at the beginning and expressed his desire for peace, he was waiting for him to ask,
Then, he took this opportunity to explain the reason for his desire for peace and pointed out his childhood in the Land of Rain, making me believe that he grew up in this country.
But these are just guesses after all, based on the guess that the other party is a person from another world. If not, it also makes sense.
Ryosuke's reincarnation eyes cannot see through people's hearts, and can only do meaningless nesting dolls, so there is no need to continue testing.
"It's my honor."
Kusanke seemed to have not heard any deep meaning in these words, and still spoke modestly, "I love this land deeply, and I am willing to do something for this land."
"Similarly, I am very grateful to Lord Ryosuke and Hinata for choosing our Rain Country and giving us the opportunity to be our umbrella of protection and stability."
"Here, I make a promise that as long as it is for peace and the stability of the country, I am willing to give everything I have, including this red heart!"
Very solemn words, and very serious and sincere.
It doesn't seem to be acted at all, but it seems that he is really willing to give everything for peace and stability.
Peace and stability... is it really something that he, an ordinary person, desires so much?
Ryosuke restrained his smile and was also very serious, "Let's encourage each other, for peace and stability."
He stood up, raised his teacup, and used tea instead of wine.
"Let's encourage each other."
Kusanke and the female ninja beside him also stood up and raised their teacups together.
They didn't seem very excited. After the three of them drank the tea, Kusanagi said goodbye.
"I want to meet the adults of the Saki family, so that we can work together."
He apologized while clasping his fists.
"It's okay. There will be many opportunities to meet in the future."
Ryosuke waved his hand very casually.
After leaving the house, he escorted them to the gate of Hyuga Inner Castle.
"But if you plan to visit Saki Yu, I have to remind you."
At the newly built gate,
Hyuga Souji, who happened to be guiding the work, saw Ryosuke personally sending people off, and followed them. When he heard their plan, he mentioned it by the way, "These nobles from big countries always pay more attention to etiquette."
"When I was working for these nobles in the Land of Fire before, I saw that because of a visiting card, the nobles on both sides quarreled and thought it was a deliberate disrespect."
They are a ninja family in Hyuga, with a large family and a lot of wealth. Of course, they don't need to send a visiting card when they come to the door.
The Saki family will not have any opinions about them because of these small details.
But Kusamaji and his friends are different. They are from a small country. Even if they were once the kings and even if they may be jonin, in the eyes of the Saki family, they are of low status and humble origins.
If they don't follow their rules, they may be deliberately embarrassed before they have a chance to talk about business.
Even if Saki Yuu is concerned about the current domestic situation and does not make trouble on the spot, but settles it later, it will inevitably be a troublesome matter.
Seeing that Lord Ryosuke attaches so much importance to these two people and personally sends them to the door, Hyuga Souji does not want to see them offend people for such a small detail.
"Thank you Lord Souji for your advice."
Kusamaji nodded gratefully. He also met Hyuga Souji when the countries met.
As he said that, he turned his head and looked at the female ninja next to him, "Mikasa, hurry up. I will write a visiting card later, and you can help me deliver it to the Saki residence in the outer city."
The heroic woman named Mikasa nodded, but did not speak.
Since they met, she has spoken no more than three sentences, which can be said to be extremely cold.
And Ryosuke's expression at this time did not change, and he said goodbye to the two.
He kept watching the backs of the two people leaving until he could no longer see them, then he turned around and went home.
"Ryosuke, that Kusashige..."
Hinata Souji followed him, hesitant to speak.
"Is it that Kusashigege, I don't know."
Ryosuke understood what he meant, but did not hide it, "But that female ninja must be."
When he heard that name, his heart was not as calm as it seemed on the surface.
Mikasa...
The full name should be Mikasa Ackerman.
Although she looked a little older, she must be in her twenties, but her appearance and personality were completely consistent with the woman in his memory.
Perhaps she came to this world when she was young, and then lived a stable life for more than ten years.
After an accidental incident in the Fire Country's Saki Castle, Ryosuke's first thought when he heard this name was that she and the pure giant were aliens from the same world, from the world of Attack on Titan.
"Souji, don't focus too much on Kusanagi Akebab, investigate the people around him, including the female ninja named Mikasa."
Very directly, Ryosuke gave Soji the task of investigating Mikasa.
Without any questions, Soji nodded, silently turned into a black shadow and left in an instant.
Walking home alone, Ryosuke had a lot of thoughts in his mind.
Sakata Gintoki and others can extract chakra with his help and become ninjas,
Then other aliens naturally have a chance, as long as the internal structure of the body is not too different.
But if that female ninja is Mikasa, then... who is that Kusanagi?
First of all, this name must be fake, in order to have a relatively reasonable identity, in order to replace that so-called remote village.
Could it be Eren?
No... that's not right, Kusanagi doesn't look like Eren at all, but a bit like the leader of the Survey Corps - Erwin Smith.
But Erwin is too old, so this possibility is ruled out.
And if Mikasa is there, then as the protagonist of Attack on Titan, Eren will most likely come to this world, right?
So... has he mastered the power of the Titan? If they came to this world since childhood, Eren may not have mastered the power of the Titan yet?
Because of a name, Ryosuke's thoughts emerged one after another, but he didn't rush to point out the other party's identity.
As for how many people from that world came to the ninja world, it still needs to be carefully investigated first, and the ability of that world is actually not so worthy of attention for Hinata.
