This Water Shadow is very strong, but overly cautious.

"The Rain Village has been experiencing food shortages recently."

"I suspect that a large amount of food was forcibly requisitioned by Hanzo."

"All signs indicate that Hanzo will make a big move soon!"

"I just don't know what he's going to do."

Hoshigaki Kisame told Mizunoe Ryosuke some key information he had, and then stopped talking so as not to interrupt Ryosuke's train of thought.

"Don't worry, Hanzo is preparing for war."

Mizunoe Ryosuke did not think deeply, but gave an answer.

Upon hearing this, even though the remaining three people already had some guesses in their minds, they still couldn't help but show expressions of surprise.

"The fact that Hanzo of the Salamander was able to wipe out the spies planted by the great powers within the Rain Ninja in one fell swoop shows that the activities of these spies were already under his control."

"The fact that he held back on launching the attack shows that he was not yet ready to start a war."

"Because once these ninjas are purged, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among other countries."

"And now he's purging spies from within the village, which shows that Hanzo is mentally prepared to start a war."

"As for requisitioning such a large amount of supplies and food, I can't think of any other use besides war."

Ryosuke stated the results of his analysis in a calm tone, seeming to be extremely certain of the result.

"Sir, according to you, who will the Rain Ninja declare war on?"

Zabuza Momochi on the side asked cautiously and tentatively.

Judging from the current situation, the biggest enemies of the Rain Ninja are none other than the Konoha, Sand Ninja, and Iwagakure Ninja who have been wreaking havoc in the Land of Rain for years.

Since the Rain Ninja has decided to start a war, who will be the target of this war?

"If I were Hanzo of the Salamander"

"I will declare war on the three major countries simultaneously!"

A gleam of brilliance flashed in Mizunoe Ryosuke's eyes, and his words surprised the three people around him.

"Has Hanzo the Salamander gone crazy?!"

"How dare he be so arrogant?"

Zabuza Momochi said in disbelief.

In the eyes of Zabuza Momochi, although Hanzo Salamander has earned the title of "demigod" in the ninja world in recent years.

And under the leadership of Hanzo of the Salamander, the strength of the Rain Ninja has made great progress.

But in his opinion, no matter how strong Hanzo of the Salamander is, the Rain Village itself has limited foundation, and its strength is still far behind the five major ninja villages.

Even if they fight against a single one of the five major ninja villages, the Rain Ninja may not be able to win, let alone fight three at the same time.

Not to mention that Konoha, the strongest ninja in the world, is located there.

From this perspective, Hanzo's behavior seems to be courting death.

"No, that's not the case."

"Declaring war on the three major nations simultaneously is Hanzo's only chance."

Hearing what Zabuza Momochi said, Mizunoe Ryosuke shook his head slightly.

"You mean"

A gleam of light suddenly flashed in Hoshigaki Kisame's eyes, as if he understood a little bit of what Ryosuke wanted to express.

"Hanzo the Salamander wants to drag everyone down with him?"

At this time, Kaguya Yuuta on the side seemed to be thinking about something, and seemed to have figured something out. He continued with a serious look.

"That's right!"

"Before understanding Hanzo's actions, we must first understand his motives."

"Given the current situation of the Rain Country, his purpose in launching this war is simply to expel the hands of the other major countries from the Rain Country."

"It's not that they want to use the power in their hands to invade the other three countries."

"In recent years, there have been constant grievances between major powers. I'm afraid that just one spark could ignite a conflict between them."

"And the purpose of Hanzo of the Salamander is to act as this fuse!"

Mizunoe Ryosuke said with a burning gaze.

"As long as Hanzo can hold out for the first half of the war."

"Then when the war between the great powers begins, they will inevitably be unable to take care of the Rain Village."

"By then, Rain Ninja will become the weight that tips the scales, becoming a rare commodity."

"Using this as capital, Hanzo of the Salamander will most likely directly achieve the goal of complete independence for the Rain Country."

"He even became a person of transcendent status in the ninja world."

Mizunoe Ryosuke spoke slowly, revealing the flaws in Hanzo's plan to the three of them.

The three of them looked at each other, unable to believe that Hanzo the Salamander would be so bold!

His behavior was undoubtedly gambling everything Rain Ninja had on a possible future.

In this regard, even Mizunoe Ryosuke felt some admiration for Hanzo of the Salamander in his heart.

Even if he were in Hanzo's position, he couldn't think of a better strategy.

Even though the time traveler's familiarity with the plot had already told Ryosuke what was about to happen, from the time traveler's perspective, regardless of the final outcome of Rain Ninja, Ryosuke still had some admiration for this "demigod of the ninja world".

Chapter 150: The Clever Ninja Senior

After analyzing Hanzo's purpose and plan, Ryosuke began to think about his own plan and the points that could be exploited in the upcoming Ninja World War.

In the original world trajectory, Hanzo of the Salamander's plan can be said to be both a success and a failure.

The success lies in that Hanzo of the Salamander did indeed provoke the Second World War in the ninja world.

It also dragged the other four major ninja villages outside of Kirigakure into the war, leading to a protracted war.

At the same time, Hanzo of the Salamander himself also established an extraordinary position in the ninja world in this battle.

He led the Rain Ninja to repel the ninjas from the Sand Ninja, the Rock Ninja and Konoha in succession.

Among them, there is not only the already famous Sand Ninja Chiyo, but also Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru, who are newcomers from Konoha. They were given the title of "The Legendary Three Ninjas".

But at the same time, Hanzo's plan can be said to have failed.

He did not lead the Rain Ninja to a position of "rare goods" and gain a status that is above all else.

Several years after the Second Shinobi World War, the Land of Rain once again became a battleground for the three great powers.

The reason is very simple. The three major countries are too strong, so strong that it makes Hanzo despair.

Hanzo of the Salamander really underestimated the strength of the big countries, especially Konoha.

Among the huge number of Rain Ninjas, except for the 663 people including Hanzo of the Salamander, the rest of the people were completely ignored by the three major countries.

As both are jonin, one Konoha jonin can beat two Amegakure jonin.

The gap is almost impossible to quantify.

Halfway through the battle, Hanzo of the Salamander turned around and found that the Rain Ninjas were either dead or injured, and there were not many players who could fight effectively.

In particular, one incident in the original work has already explained the embarrassing situation of Hanzo the Salamander.

After defeating the troops led by the Sannin, Hanzo of the Salamander neither captured them nor killed them.

Instead, he said indifferently, "I recognize the strength of you three ninjas," and then let the three ninjas go.

Not only did he let them go, he also gave the antidote for the poisonous salamander to the three ninjas, for fear that they would be poisoned to death.

Why is that?

Could it be that Hanzo of the Salamander is really that kind of old veteran of the ninja world who is not concerned about his own losses, can maintain his composure even when facing his old enemy, and provides "experience" and "titles" to the younger generations for free?

Of course not. If he was kind-hearted, Hanzo would not have done something like inciting the Ninja World War.

As for why he didn't attack the Sannin, the reason is actually very simple.

That is, he doesn't dare. (chcc)

Yes, Hanzo of the Salamander doesn’t dare.

Just imagine, when the Salamander was excited to attack the Fire Nation and was waiting to fight with the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, he didn't expect that Sarutobi Hiruzen only sent the three ninjas who were not well-known at the time to lead the battle.

Originally, Hanzo of the Salamander was probably ready to kill these youngsters and force Sarutobi Hiruzen to fight a decisive battle.

But unexpectedly, the more he fought, the more frightened he became, not to mention the strength of these three young ninjas.

And the showdown between the leaders of both sides.

In the competition among the grassroots ninjas, Konoha had completely defeated the Rain Ninjas. Most of Hanzo Salamander's men were killed before they had even fought much.

How to play in this situation?

Afterwards, after almost single-handedly defeating the Sannin and Konoha's troops, Hanzo fell into deep thought.

At this point in the battle, except for the three ninjas, almost all the older generation of Konoha warriors were firmly in place.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzo, Mito Kadeni, and Koharu Tanaka

None of the Konoha ninjas who became famous during the First Ninja World War showed up. How could Hanzo not be panicked?

If he killed the three ninjas here and ended up incurring Konoha's revenge, how would he fight back?

You can't go up alone, right?

Thinking of this, smart people are ready to face the consequences calmly.

There is no doubt that Hanzo is a smart guy himself.

Not only did he let the defeated three ninjas go, but he also "thoughtfully" gave the three ninjas a wave of "legendary" titles as a gesture of goodwill towards Konoha.

So the same thing goes, do you think the ninja world is all about fighting and killing?

Wrong, the ninja world is actually all about human relationships

This battle completely destroyed Hanzo's ambitions.

This is why Hanzo of the Salamander lay down behind the Rain Ninja.

After figuring everything out, Ryosuke also knew how to satisfy his own interests.

As I said, war is a double-edged sword. If used well, Kirigakure will have no problem getting rich overnight.

Ryosuke came to the Land of Rain in person, actually for two purposes.

The first point is to use war to gain benefits for Kirigakure.

At this point, Kirigakure has an innate advantage.

The cause of this war itself is that some big countries have been exploiting small countries for years, and then suffered backlash from these small countries.

All of this itself has nothing to do with Kirigakure.

But we want to reap the benefits rather than get stuck in the quagmire.

You can refer to the operations of the United States in the past.

Unless it is absolutely necessary, I will not take action myself, but will export weapons to other warring countries in exchange for tangible benefits and resources.

Of course, because we are in the ninja world, such a strategy must also undergo "localized reform" and cannot be copied blindly.

The second point is that Ryosuke came to "eliminate harm".

After Uchiha Madara's death, the disappearance of Black Zetsu has always been a hidden danger.

Instead of waiting for Black Zetsu to come to him, Ryosuke might as well take the initiative and get rid of Black Zetsu directly.

The current Ryosuke is not the original Mizunoe Ryosuke.

At the beginning, due to the lack of understanding of Yin-Yang Escape, there was no way to deal with Hei Jue's Yin-Escape body.

Now, with Mizunoe Ryosuke's mastery of Yin-Yang Release, it is easy to kill Black Zetsu.

The ninja world is so vast that it is almost impossible for Black Zetsu to be caught as long as he wants to hide because he has the help of White Zetsu.
