How big is the gap between the strength of Gui Deng Shui Yue and the current Shui Mu? This is really difficult to measure accurately.

"From a practical point of view, once a big enough gap exists, it is impossible to make up for it, and it will most likely get bigger and bigger! This world is really cruel. I didn't expect that our next meeting would be under such circumstances..."

It was not known whether Shuimu's sigh had reached the ears of Suigetsu Kizuki, because this translucent, body-shaped humanoid creature was already in a state of near death.

The law of increasing returns in economics naturally does not fully conform to the actual situation of the gap between ninjas, but it also reflects the speed at which high-level ninjas' strength increases.

In the general sense, ninja masters, such as Suigetsu Hozuki, are good at killing ordinary people and low-level ninjas, and are also quite strong against ninjas of the same level. However, when they encounter higher-level forces, they are not much different from the demons killed by them.

In Mizuki's eyes, the reason why Suigetsu Kizuki is more difficult to deal with than ordinary people is that he is better at escaping.

The location of his real body has been locked by Shuimu. As long as Shuimu does not show mercy and let him go, it will be impossible for Suigetsu Kizuki to escape with his strength.

Hozuki Kizuki, unaware of the approaching danger, was still pretending to be a puddle of river water when he was enveloped by an electric grid of lightning. The paralyzing properties of lightning instantly paralyzed his secret ability to freely transform into water.

When the old friends met again, they didn't even have time to exchange a few words of greeting. The silver hair of the powerful sealing technique - Diamond Sealing, like silver needles, instantly pierced countless holes in Gui Deng Shui Yue.

The young man with two swords on his back suffered almost fatal injuries.

The reason why he was not dead yet was not because Mizuki showed mercy, but because the secret technique of water transformation was still working. Even though many vital parts were pierced, Suigetsu Hozuki still survived.

"Please ignore my previous sigh! What I actually wanted to say is: Long time no see!"

"Looking at your expression, it seems like you want to say something. Oh... By the way, I forgot that you can't speak now. Then just listen to me. This is my prayer for the dying man!"

"Perhaps you don't remember me, but you may have heard of my reputation. It doesn't matter. Three years ago in the Land of Waves, you were the one who taught me what a ninja is and how to survive. Three years have passed, and a cycle has ended. Today's result is the result of my understanding at that time and the hard work of the past three years."

Three years ago, a soul with memories of another world killed someone for the first time and fought for its life with a dangerous enemy for the first time.

This was different from the previous battles with Uzumaki Naruto and Umino Iruka, which were like a joke. Even when facing the Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had murderous intent in his eyes, Mizuki was not so desperate.

The knowledge and wisdom that he was proud of, the sense of superiority that looked down on the natives of the ninja world, and the countless ambitions waiting to be realized, were no match for the shock brought to him by the blood-stained kunai and shuriken in his hands.

"The ninja world is not a game, ninjas are not noble, and others are not NPCs. If they are killed, they will die!"

"Please forgive my nagging. I rarely feel so emotional about killing someone with my own hands. In the past three years, I have lost count of the number of people who died at my hands. I don't know how many I killed today. Maybe some of them are innocent and don't deserve to die, but that's not important anymore. Maybe after I die, I will go to hell, if there is a hell in the ninja world..."

"Originally I thought I had a lot more to say, but now I don't know where to start, so let's not talk about it. I don't have any resentment towards you, and of course I don't have any gratitude either. I'm sure you know that this is what ninjas are like..."

"By the way, you don't have to be indignant about being killed by me. It's not surprising that there is such a big gap between you who was soaked in a water tank as an experimental subject for three years and me who has endured countless risks and calculations. I am sorry for causing you pain and shock!"

"Finally, please rest in peace..."

Like prey stabbed by a harpoon, Mizuki carefully used the powerful fire escape technique to continuously burn Suigetsu Hozuki in the flames. After a long time, the young swordsman who once had a promising future turned into water vapor and completely disappeared from this world.

"This humiliating way of killing is not my intention. I just want to kill you without any accidents. Of course, if you are reincarnated into this world by the Impure World Reincarnation in the future, you are always welcome to seek revenge, if you still have the courage..."

The powerful enemy that had required both sides to suffer heavy losses to repel three years ago was now killed by himself without any effort. Unexpectedly, Shuimu did not feel the slightest bit of pride or sense of accomplishment.

"After killing Gui Deng Shui Yue, you don't seem to be very happy..."

"Idiot, what extra emotions do you expect from killing a mission target? Pleasure, touching, or relief? If you really have any, then you are absolutely perverted!"

The gap between an ordinary person who has never seen much blood and a ninja who has experienced many battles is quite large.

Although Mizuki has adapted well to this change, he will never kill people as a matter of course, nor will he enjoy it, even if they are enemies!

"But your emotions seemed to be a little fluctuating just now!"

"Really? That means my spiritual practice is not enough!"

"Isn't this the same thing as that? You're really good at making excuses."

The excuse of being pressured by the task is not a panacea and cannot be used to eliminate all negative emotions.

"It's better not to do this kind of thing in the future. The education and moral values ​​we received are far from those of orthodox ninjas..."

The best strategy is to acknowledge the hidden dangers and nip them in the bud.

"I understand. There won't be too many such incidents in the future. The pawns have almost been exchanged. It's time for the general to take action."

Killing too many unknown people meaninglessly will always bring an inexplicable burden. Shuimu will not have unnecessary mercy on those who really endanger the safety of himself and his family.

"That's enough of this matter. It's time to go find Chougo..."

Hope, who was not far behind him, hesitated for a moment and advised:

"Let's go. You should suppress your murderous intent and go back to the Hidden Cloud Village to rest!"

Mizuki hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

"Then I'll go first, and leave the rest to you!"

As the deputy director of the Security Department, Mizuki led his subordinates to eliminate countless peripheral members of "Akatsuki", and many ninja organizations were uprooted. His hands have long been stained with blood that cannot be washed away.

"Fortunately, the next enemies are villains who have long lost their humanity, and inhuman monsters who claim to be gods..."
