The Hidden Mist Village shrouded in mist!

Xiao led Duke all the way to the residence of the Mizunotsuki clan outside the village. As a well-known bloodline clan in the Hidden Mist Village, a famous family that produced many powerful ninjas, it seems hard to imagine that the residence of the Mizunotsuki clan is outside the village, but this is the reality.

Bloodline boundaries use blood ties as a bond to pass on unique secrets to the next generation, thus forming a monopoly of ninja families. This family-style inheritance teaches bloodline ninjas to be far more loyal to their families than to their villages. This is a dangerous signal for those in power. No matter how broad-minded a leader is, he cannot tolerate his subordinates being loyal to two masters. Therefore, while each ninja village cherishes and protects the bloodline family, it also tries every means to suppress the bloodline family's strength to prevent them from becoming arrogant and plotting a rebellion.

For example, the Red Eyes Clan of Konoha was driven out of the village's political center and relocated to the outskirts of Konoha Village. They were one of the two major families that founded Konoha, with great contributions and hard work, and many powerful people, but in the end, not only did they not have a chance to become Hokage, they couldn't even get the title of Elder Advisor. The only fig leaf they had was the Konoha Police Department, which was just a nominal position with no power.

What does the Konoha Police Department do?

Their daily routine is as follows: patrolling, maintaining public order, directing traffic, regulating greening, and stopping street vendors... It's so low, isn't it! No wonder the Uchiha clan rebelled. If it were the Senju clan, they wouldn't be able to swallow this treatment!

The same is true for the Hidden Mist Village. The situation of the Hozuki clan, Mizunotsuki clan, Kaguya clan, etc., these big families are not very good, especially the Hozuki clan. After the death of the second generation Mizukage, their status in the Hidden Mist Village plummeted. The ninjas in the clan were not favored by the top leaders, and even the honor of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen was stripped away. The difference in treatment before and after is really sad.

"Our Mizunotsuki clan was active in the ninja world before the Hidden Mist Village was established, and we have made a great name for ourselves. Because of our family's unique bloodline, we can easily control water and use powerful ice escape techniques, so we are called the 'Snow Clan'. When the Hidden Mist Village was established, we became the most powerful clan in the village, and even the Senju clan far away in Konoha had to give us some face."

Can you beat the Wood Release Bull? Can you suppress the chakra of the tailed beast? Can you put the Susanoo Gundam into 108 positions? If not, please don't excrete unknown gases! Stinky! Duke secretly complained about what the elder said.

"Really?" Duke was puzzled and couldn't help asking, "Why do I feel that absolute cold is the ultimate secret of Ice Escape? Isn't ice low temperature? Once the temperature drops to absolute zero, the molecules and atoms that make up matter will stop moving. The extreme cold that freezes everything is the strongest!"

"Okay, Great Elder, I won't be late." Duke's eyes were almost smiling into crescents as he was about to obtain the ice escape secret technique that he had longed for.

"Uh...and..." Duke scratched his head. His awakening of Ice Escape was confusing and even his moves were all alluded to from other worlds. He really didn't know much about Ice Escape.

"Not bad, not arrogant or impatient, a good candidate." The elder patted Duke's shoulder and praised him. Then he turned to Xiao and said, "Xiao, I deserve my promotion. You did a great job on this matter. As for giving up the mission, don't worry. I will solve it for you."

"Elder, thank you for the compliment. I have just awakened and am still far from being a qualified ninja!" Duke said modestly.

"Even if the ninjas of our family have not awakened Ice Escape, they can easily become powerful ninjas because of their innate wind and water chakras. Moreover, when it comes to Water Escape, we have talents far beyond everyone else. We can even make hand seals to activate Water Escape with one hand. In the entire ninja world, only our family can do this!" The great elder said proudly, patting his bony chest.

"Hmph! You are so ignorant that you know so little about even the bloodline of your clan." The great elder snorted coldly and began to talk in detail about the Mizunotsuki clan's ice escape.

"You are a genius who has awakened the bloodline, so of course I have to call you Master!" The woman explained, and then suddenly thought of something and said hurriedly, "I am the maid assigned to you by the Great Elder. My name is Mizunotsuki Akiko. Please give me your guidance in the future."

As soon as you enter the gate, you will see a garden full of beautiful flowers and chirping birds. On both sides of the road, there are long black straight haired girls with graceful and graceful postures. Young girls, young girls, lolita girls, mature women, mature women... The age range is enough to meet all kinds of needs. If you further subdivide it, you can also find mysterious atmospheres such as mature women and married women. The strong sense of déjà vu came to you, and Duke felt sweet in his throat and almost spit out blood.

"What else?"

Seeing Duke's playful look, the elder felt it necessary to educate this kid about the glorious tradition of Mizunozuki, so that he wouldn't be careless when the time comes. He said, "Tenman, how much do you know about our family's bloodline limit ice escape?" "This... Ice escape is formed by the fusion of water and wind chakras..." Duke was speechless.

At this moment, there was a sound of hurried footsteps behind him. Duke turned around and saw a tribesman in her twenties wearing a light blue kimono standing in front of him. She had a beautiful face and long black hair. Judging from the size of her chest, this tribesman should be a woman...if there was no pervert stuffing cotton in her chest! "Master Tianman, the room that the elder has arranged for you is ready. Please follow me!" The woman folded her hands in front of her, bowed slightly, and said politely.

Hearing the sound from inside the house, Xiao pushed open the door and walked in quickly with Duke, stopping in front of an old man with gray hair and eyebrows. The great elder of the Mizunotsuki clan, about seventy years old, was sitting upright on a bamboo mat. He half-opened his eyes, looked tired, but his every move was full of the aura of a high-ranking official.

Duke walked out the door, his hands behind his head, thinking about the possibility of absolute zero. He walked in a trance until he came to a dead end.

After Xiao left, Duke and the Great Elder sat facing each other. Because of the intense war between the Water and Fire Kingdoms, the Mizunotsuki clan lost many of its core members, and the family's strength continued to decline. Seeing that a young clan member was about to rise, the Great Elder's worries also faded a lot.

Xiao nodded with satisfaction and knocked on the door lightly: "Elder, Mizunoe Xiao wants to see you."

"Then I'll trouble you, Elder, to take care of it." Xiao bowed in thanks.

"Oops, I forgot to ask... where do I live now? I don't even know where I lived before." Duke was dumbfounded. Did he need to ask someone where he lived?

"It doesn't matter. Ice Escape is the foundation of our clan. Even if I were here, I would make the same choice. How can a mere mission be compared with the family? Even if those old guys don't give me face, Lord Mizukage will not ignore it." After the great elder finished speaking, he waved his hand to signal Xiao to retreat.

Xiao didn't notice Duke's abnormality. He led him around a few small roads and stopped in front of a house. He whispered, "Tianman, you have to be polite in front of the elder later. You can't be as noisy as before. Do you understand?"

"Silly boy, how is this possible? According to what you said, the higher the temperature of Fire Style, the better? If that's the case, the caster will be killed by the high temperature before the enemy is burned to death by Fire Style." The elder shook his head and denied Duke's fantasy: "Absolute zero is just a theory. No one can do it, at least no one in the history of the Mizunotsuki clan has done it. If someone can do it... he will be the first to die! So, what you said is not practical. Just practice the family's secret technique honestly and don't let your imagination run wild."

Beside the river outside the Kirigakure Ninja Village, at the Mizunotsuki family residence, the hexagonal ice crystal pattern of the ancestral emblem was hung on the gate. Xiao had a brief conversation with the two clan members, and then he could not wait to take Duke inside.

"So awesome, so awesome." Duke exclaimed with a boastful look on his face, secretly cursing the old man for bragging without thinking. The first part of this long conversation is still worth listening to, the last sentence is purely to flatter himself. When the Hidden Mist Village was established, the two great masters of the Thousand Hands were still in their prime, in good health, and they enjoyed everything they ate. Any one of them could beat the entire Mizunotsuki clan, so why should they give Mizunotsuki some face? Is it because she is beautiful? Duke's exclamation made the elder very satisfied. He stroked his beard and continued: "The bloodline of Ice Release is very powerful. You don't understand Ice Release, so you can't imagine what kind of great power it is!"

"Don't worry, Captain Owl."

"Young Master?" Duke pointed at himself. His cousin actually had a hidden identity?

"Then I'll be leaving first, Great Elder. I wish you a good sleep." Duke added in his heart that it would be best if he never woke up.

"I guess there's no hope for me in this life!" Looking at a group of flat-chested big sisters smiling sweetly, Duke silently swallowed the poisonous blood, tears streaming down his face.

"In that case, go and have a rest! I will have someone arrange a new place for you to live. After awakening the Ice Escape, your identity is different, so you don't have to go to the previous house anymore." The elder said, "My old bones are not like you young people. I need to get a good night's sleep."

"I understand. I will study the secrets of my family well." Duke nodded thoughtfully. As for what he thought, only he knew.

"Come in!"

Hearing this, the elder's cloudy eyes sparkled. He stood up and walked to Duke, raised his hand and placed it on Duke's shoulder. After a while, he laughed heartily: "Yes, it is indeed the chakra of ice escape. Your name is Tenman, right? You have awakened your bloodline at such a young age. Your future is limitless. Another genius has been born in my Mizunotsuki clan. The strength of the family has been further improved. There is no better news than this."

"Starting tomorrow, every morning at six o'clock, I will begin teaching you the Mizunotsuki clan's ice escape technique."

Only our clan? Not necessarily! The ninjutsu scrolls of the Second Hokage recorded many tips on water escape techniques with one hand. Old man, I've read a lot, don't try to fool me! "And the clan members who awakened the Ice Escape Technique, in addition to controlling large amounts of water, can also change the form, temperature and state of water at will. The soft and invisible water turns into indestructible ice. This is the pride of our clan - Ice Escape Technique! Of course, these are only the most superficial applications of Ice Escape Technique. Over time, the ninjas of the family have developed secret techniques that are more suitable for our clan to fight."

"Jingzi..." Duke's mouth twitched. This name is so powerful.

"What do you want me to do?" Mizunotsuki Akiko bowed and asked.

"Nothing, just a little...uncomfortable. I'm Mizunotsuki Tenman, I'll leave everything to you from now on." Duke was not only uncomfortable, he was simply uncomfortable. After awakening the Ice Escape, his treatment changed dramatically, from an orphan to a young master. This clan is too realistic! "You're too polite, this is what I should do! Please follow me, I'll lead the way for you." Mizunotsuki Akiko stepped aside to greet him, making way for half of her body.

Thanks to 'Teng Houlin' and 'Lady Sword' for the rewards!
