This Water Shadow is very strong, but overly cautious.

"The ninja world will soon be in turmoil. This turmoil will be both a change and a crisis."

"I summoned you all here to arrange what Kirigakure should do in this turmoil."

Mizunoe Ryosuke said this seriously, and his solemn tone coupled with his powerful authority made everyone at the table respond seriously.

"Kisame, tell me your information."

Mizunoe Ryosuke said to Hoshigaki Kisame who was standing beside him.

Since withdrawing from the Rain Country, Ryosuke ordered Hoshigaki Kisame to shift the focus of the White Shark Corps' intelligence gathering from the Rain Country to Sunagakure and Iwagakure.

"Yes, my lord."

"Now let me explain the information I have."

Hoshigaki Kisame nodded and began to talk about the information in his hand meticulously.

"On the Sand Ninja side, the battle with the Rain Ninja is still going on."

"The battle between the two sides has reached a fever pitch. Except for the two 2.2 teams' head coaches who have not yet played, both sides have already revealed all their cards."

"Both the Rain Ninja's elite 'Hanzo Guards' and the Sand Ninja's 'Puppet Master Unit' have already been deployed to the battlefield."

"I'm afraid it won't be long before the two sides can decide the winner."

"In addition, on the Iwagakure side, we discovered that the Iwagakure ninja were gathering on a large scale."

"But up to now, we still don't know who Iwagakure will attack."

Hoshigaki Kisame reported all the important information currently available in the ninja world in one breath.

After hearing this, everyone's eyes were stern. The battle between Sand Ninja and Rain Ninja was nothing new. The key was the Rock Ninja.

What exactly is the Third Tsuchikage Ohnoki planning to do?

Iwagakure's actions could potentially further escalate this war.

Chapter 202: Actively Intervene in the War

"No matter who Iwagakure plans to attack next, the scale of the war will inevitably escalate."

"The ninja world is also likely to face a second full-scale turmoil."

"And this will also be the best time for Kirigakure to rise!"

Mizunoe Ryosuke said to everyone with a burning gaze that he had been preparing for this day for two whole years.

From the moment he took office, he has been preparing for this day all the time.

Now, all of Ryosuke's worries have been eliminated, and he can let go and do his best.

"Ryosuke, what do you mean?"

Mangetsu Kizuki's eyes flickered slightly, as if she understood the implication of Mizunoe Ryosuke's words.

Although three of the five major countries have been plunged into war at this moment, it seems that everything has nothing to do with the Water Country far overseas.

In this turmoil in the ninja world, the Water Country Kirigakure has a chance to remain unscathed.

And from what Mizunoe Ryosuke had just said, Hozuki Mangetsu faintly heard something different.

"That's right!"

"I intend to intervene in this war!"

Mizunoe Ryosuke admitted his thoughts directly.

As soon as these words came out, Mitsuki Nozuki took a deep breath.

"goo"

He swallowed unnaturally and glanced around.

The Fourth Mizukage plans to lead Kirigakure to participate in this Ninja World War!

Such information is simply shocking. Being fortunate enough to be the first to know the attitude of the Fourth Mizukage is undoubtedly a recognition of their identities.

Except for him, no one at the table showed any excessive surprise, which showed that everyone at the table had more or less anticipated Ryosuke's plan.

After adjusting his mentality slightly, Mitsuhiko Mizunoe sat up straight. He couldn't afford to lose face for Ryosuke.

But at this moment, Mitsuhiko Mizunoe's heart was still beating fast. You know, actively participating in a war and being passively involved in a war are two completely different things.

And this meeting here today, and Kirigakure's decision to intervene in the Ninja World War, will surely go down in history.

Mizunoe Mitsuhiko was quite excited to personally participate in such a big event.

For the others, as Ryosuke's trusted ministers and right-hand men, they more or less sensed Ryosuke's thoughts through their sense of smell and authority.

"I support the Yondaime's decision."

Man Yue Kizuna was the first to speak out, a gleam of brilliance flashing in his eyes.

The former number one genius of Kirigakure has now turned all his talent into strength. Now he not only desires to make a name for himself in the ninja world, but also urgently wants to prove his ability and assist Mizunoe Ryosuke to bring Kirigakure to new heights.

War is undoubtedly a shortcut to accelerating development.

Coupled with his absolute trust in the Fourth Hokage Mizunoe Ryosuke, Manabu Hozuki has a positive attitude towards participating in this Ninja World War.

"I agree."

"Seconded."

Immediately afterwards, Hoshigaki Kisame and Kaguya Yuuta both expressed their opinions.

As two of Ryosuke Mizunoe's trusted generals, they naturally agreed with Ryosuke's arrangements.

As veterans under Ryosuke, Kuroshima Morita and Mitsuhiko Mizunoezuki naturally followed Ryosuke's lead and chose to agree.

Finally, the great elder Maeda Genshi, who was a veteran retainer of the Hidden Mist Village for three dynasties, looked at the high-spirited Mizunoe Ryosuke in front of him, and a hint of deep understanding flashed in his eyes.

Over the past two years, he witnessed with his own eyes how Mizunoe Ryosuke brought the village, which was on the brink of crisis, back on track and made it prosperous.

At this moment, Master Maeda was extremely grateful for his decision to support Ryosuke's succession to the Mizukage.

He believed that Mizunoe Ryosuke had enough ability to lead Kirikage to victory in this changing situation.

"agree."

Following Maeda Genshi's response, the entire Kirigakure leadership unanimously passed the resolution to join the war.

Seeing this, Mizunoe Ryosuke smiled lightly. In order to resist foreign aggression, one must first stabilize the internal situation. At this time, it is extremely important to unify the internal stance first.

Ryosuke Mizunoe's current support rate within the Mist Shadow is probably unprecedented among all the previous Mizukages. Such control is something that the previous Mizukage Taki Mizunoe could not even imagine.

"Great Elder, the village's current supply reserves."

"And how are the supplies factories operating?"

Mizunoe Ryosuke asked Master Maeda who was standing beside him.

Upon hearing this, Master Maeda nodded, and then slowly began to talk about the current material reserves of the Hidden Mist Village.

The huge amount of war supplies stored in Kirigakure as mentioned by Master Maeda left everyone at the table stunned.

"what's the situation?"

"When did the village's supplies become so abundant?"

Several people looked at each other in surprise, wondering when the village had stockpiled such a huge amount of war supplies.

In response, Ryosuke just gave an unfathomable smile.

Since Ryosuke took the throne, he has started to build a large number of factories around Kirigakure to produce strategic materials such as detonating tags, blades, medical supplies, etc., and he even poured all of Kirigakure's funds into them.

Not only did Ryosuke produce it himself, he also spent money to purchase large quantities of food and medical supplies from other countries.

Although these materials are important, their prices in normal times and after the outbreak of war are completely different.

Once the war begins, the prices of these supplies will rise to a sky-high level.

In the past two years, the funds in the Kirigakure Treasury have become empty, and all of them have been replaced by various war reserves.

Now that the ninja world is on the verge of a war, the value of these supplies stored in advance by Kirigakure will skyrocket in an instant.

It is foreseeable that Kirigakure will make a fortune just by selling supplies to 707 during the war.

With such a huge reserve of war supplies, everyone has more confidence.

"I conclude that this war in the Ninja World will be no less than the Ninja World War that broke out more than ten years ago."

“It will even be bigger.”

"This war of mine is divided into three phases. We will adopt different strategies in different phases to reap benefits for Kirigakure."

Mizunoe Ryosuke said calmly, with a deep light flashing in his eyes.

"The first phase is called the 'heating phase' of the war."

"During this phase, the major ninja villages will gradually join the war."

"And the scale of the war will continue to expand, but the countries involved will still maintain a certain degree of restraint."

"At this stage, Kirigakure will not participate in the war. We only need to sell supplies and weapons to countries caught in the war."

"For this part, I have already established cooperation with the Third Kazekage of Sand Village and the leader of the Rain Ninja, Hanzo of the Salamander."

Mizunoe Ryosuke told everyone about his plan, and his words made a glimmer of admiration flash in Maeda Genshi's eyes.

Although he believed in Ryosuke, he still had a slight worry in his heart, fearing that the young Ryosuke would be too impatient for success.

But seeing how skillful Ryosuke's arrangement was, even Master Maeda had to be convinced.

Chapter 203: Still have to be a middleman

"Too early to join the war would waste Kirigakure's strategic position of transcendence."

"Let Kirigakure be exposed to the firepower of the four major ninja villages."

"And preserving strength at the beginning and earning profits through war is indeed the most brilliant method."

"Not only that, the ninja villages that established cooperative relations with us during the first phase of the war are likely to become our allies after the war enters the second phase."

"When the time comes, we will use the power of the alliance to determine the direction of the war."

After pondering for a moment, Master Maeda analyzed Mizunoe Ryosuke's war strategy.

As a veteran of Kirigakure for three dynasties and having personally experienced the First Shinobi World War, Master Maeda's strategic vision is truly astute. He analyzed all the advantages of Ryosuke's plan almost immediately.

"As expected of the Great Elder, what you said is absolutely true."

"What the Great Elder said is exactly what I thought."

Mizunoe Ryosuke smiled and nodded, agreeing with everything that Master Maeda analyzed.

"No, all this is thanks to the foresight of Mizukage-sama."

Master Maeda shook his head, not daring to take all the credit for himself.

Whether it was Ryosuke's strategic vision in predicting the subversive nature of the war or his advance arrangements to prepare for a rainy day, they were far beyond his reach.

After hearing Master Maeda's words, everyone agreed with him.

"I just don't know. Mizukage-sama mentioned our cooperation with Sunagakure."

"How will the other party repay us?"

Maeda Genshi asked in confusion. Since Ryosuke took office, the great elder Maeda Genshi has been assisting Ryosuke in managing the village's financial issues, so what he asked was also within his responsibilities.

It is no wonder that Master Maeda would ask this question.

Sand Village is located in the Land of Wind, where supplies are scarce and financial resources are insufficient.

Ryosuke traded a large amount of strategic materials to the Wind Country, but the other party may not be able to offer a corresponding price.

If it turns into a bad debt, Kirigakure will be like throwing a meat bun at a dog, with no way back.

"No problem."

"Elder, you may not know that the Third Kazekage is a 'treasure'."

As he spoke, a gleam of brilliance flashed in Ryosuke's eyes.

"Oh?"

Master Maeda was a little puzzled.

"The Third Kazekage, Sandetsu, although young, has mastered the art of sand ninjutsu to the extreme."
