This Water Shadow is very strong, but overly cautious.

Is the dust settled? Why did Iwagakure inexplicably "lose" again? They haven't even gone to the battlefield yet!!!

·· ····Request flowers··· ····

How come it’s over before they even understand what they did??!!

This is like an online RPG game where you just created your character, got the newbie equipment, and defeated the boss of the newbie village.

As a result, the goddess suddenly appears and tells you that the Demon King has been defeated. The boss of the Novice Village is the legendary "Demon King".

Are you kidding me?

For a moment, Bee stood there in a daze.

His emotions told him that Mizunoe Ryosuke was definitely "joking" with him, but his reason told him that this man would never do anything without a purpose!

.... . ....

Because no matter how absurd the words that came out of this man's mouth were, they were eventually realized.

Bi stared at Mizunoe Ryosuke blankly, desperately wanting an answer.

Mizunoe Ryosuke no longer concealed it. He slowly raised his hand and pointed it in front of him. The cold air slowly condensed in front of him, and a transparent ice chessboard appeared in front of him.

"Compare, if we consider the war between Kumogakure and Iwagakure as a chess game."

"How many chess players are there in your guess?"

Mizunoe Ryosuke asked with a chuckle.

"Three"

After some thought, Bi said hesitantly.

As Bi finished speaking, Mizunoe Ryosuke lightly tapped the chessboard, and three chess pieces made of ice fell on the board.

The three chess pieces are engraved with the words "thunder", "earth" and "water" respectively.

Seeing this, Bi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he must have been right.

Because this coincided with what he was thinking.

On the surface, this war is a war between Kumogakure and Iwagakure, and only the two sides are fighting each other.

But in reality, Kumogakure and Kirigakure had quietly formed the "Kurogakure Alliance," so there was one more Kirigakure on the chessboard, creating a two-on-one situation.

Chapter 320, The Fifth Player on the Board

There is nothing wrong with Bi's opinion. After all, many of Mizunoe Ryosuke's actions were carried out secretly without Bi's knowledge.

Hiya had no idea how many tricks and plots Mizunoe Ryosuke had secretly arranged.

Even in the eyes of most people in the ninja world, the war between Iwagakure and Kumogakure was just a simple struggle between the two sides. Even the news of Kirigakure's participation in the war was still hidden at this time.

However, little do they know that this idea was actually wrong from the beginning.

After pointing out the three chess pieces: "Thunder", "Earth" and "Water".

Mizunoe Ryosuke didn't say anything, but suddenly pointed his finger in the middle again, and instantly a chess piece engraved with the word "fire" appeared in the center of the chessboard.

Seeing this, Bi frowned. The difference in vision made him wonder why "July 17" of the Fire Nation would be a player in the Thunder Earth War.

"I once told you that knowing yourself and your enemy ensures victory in every battle."

"Now I'm going to test you."

"If you were Ohnoki and the logistics team was wiped out, who would you think was responsible?"

Mizunoe Ryosuke said with a smile, and asked Bi in a tone of guidance.

"I can"

Suddenly, Bi seemed to have thought of something, and felt as if he had suddenly realized something.

He was not a fool, but he had always been in the position of "being in the dark" and subconsciously believed that the annihilation of Iwagakure's logistics troops must have been attributed to Kumogakure.

But Bi suddenly thought that under the blockade of Iwagakure, Kirigakure would never be able to break through the border of the Moon Country.

In other words, in Iwagakure's judgment, they would never think that it was Kumogakure who did it.

And since the information that Kirigakure has joined the war has not been exposed, Iwagakure will not pin the suspicion on Kirigakure.

Therefore, Iwagakure could never have imagined that the demise of the logistics troops would be caused by the joint efforts of three Kage-level powerhouses. Iwagakure also could not have imagined that Mizunoe Ryosuke had the fast mobility of the Ice Dragon King, and could attack the remaining three logistics troops of Iwagakure again at an extremely fast speed.

In other words, the logistics force that Ohnoki envisioned would require an attack by at least six Kage-level warriors to destroy was accomplished by Mizunoe Ryosuke with the combat power of three Kage-level warriors.

From Iwagakure's perspective, this was not done by Kirigakure or Kumogakure, so who did it?

Looking at the word "fire" on the chessboard, a hint of understanding appeared in Bi's eyes.

Iwagakure will eventually turn its attention to Konoha, which has nothing to do with all this.

Thinking of this, Bi looked at Mizunoe Ryosuke who still had a gentle smile on his face. His face was full of complicated expressions and he didn't know what to say.

It turns out that when Mizunoe Ryosuke was planning to raid the Iwagakure logistics forces, he had already thought that this step would drag Konoha into the water.

Only then did he figure out the connection, and Mizunoe Ryosuke continued.

"Let me ask you again, if you were the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen."

"What do you think?"

Mizunoe Ryosuke asked again, making Bi stand there in a daze, and suddenly some cold sweat appeared on his body.

The reason why Bee knew that Kumogakure was trapped in the Land of Lightning and had no spare energy to break through the blockade of Iwagakure was because he was the son of the Third Raikage and an absolute core member of Kumogakure!

This kind of information is considered to be a very high level of secret.

The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly. How could Konoha, which is thousands of miles away, know that Kumogakure is unable to break through the blockade of Iwagakure?

At this point, Bee felt a little scared.

He looked at Mizunoe Ryosuke's still calm smile and felt a little trembling in his heart.

He could predict the actions of the top leaders of the three major ninja villages, Konoha, Iwagakure, and even Kumogakure, to the last detail! And every move of the three parties was applauded by this man!

What a terrifying scheming and strategy!

It suddenly occurred to him that without knowing that Kumogakure could not break through the blockade of Iwagakure, Konoha would directly wipe out the entire Iwagakure logistics force and attribute this to Kumogakure's work.

And the most terrifying thing is that Konoha will subconsciously think that Iwagakure "thinks the same way."

He had no idea that he had become the "number one suspect" in the eyes of Iwagakure...

This is not over yet.

As he spoke, Mizunoe Ryosuke placed another chess piece engraved with the word "dark" next to the ice chess piece engraved with the word "fire".

If we talk about the "fire" just now, it is still understandable.

The chess piece with the word "dark" was a little hard for Bi to understand.

What does “dark” mean?

Currently, every "chess piece" on the chessboard symbolizes the forces that have already entered the struggle, openly or secretly. What does this "dark" represent?

Bi felt a little puzzled.

"If you understand the identities and characteristics of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen and the Konoha high-level officials."

"You should know someone."

“I call it ‘dark’.”

What Mizunoe Ryosuke was talking about was naturally the Root under the Hokage, the dark Shimura Danzo of Konoha.

"I guess once the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen learns that the Iwagakure logistics force was attacked and annihilated in the Frost Country."

"Although he will think that this is Kumogakure's move, given his shrewd and calculating personality, he will definitely not sit idly by and watch this matter."

"Don't forget one thing. Konoha is still an ally of Kumogakure until now, and the Frost Country is 3.4% of Konoha's territory."

Mizunoe Ryosuke spoke slowly, with a strange look in his eyes.

He was already a little numb at this moment, and he didn't know what to say about Mizunoe Ryosuke's evil plan.

"To be on the safe side, the Third Hokage will send someone to clean up the mess."

"That is to say, push everything onto Kumogakure and make sure that Iwagakure will lock everything onto Kumogakure."

"So as to prevent Konoha from being implicated in this."

"And the person sent by the Third Hokage is 'An'."

"He is also the fifth player in this chess game!"

As Mizunoe Ryosuke spoke, the corners of his mouth gradually curved up, and his dark, deep pupils were like black holes, making it impossible to look directly at them.

Chapter 321: Defeating the Enemy Thousands of Miles Away

Obviously, there is a reason why Mizunoe Ryosuke singled out Danzo as a "player" in this game.

At first glance, Danzo belongs to Konoha and should be in the same camp as the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, but in fact, Danzo has his own calculations and plans in mind.

Therefore, Danzo cannot be simply regarded as a vassal in the camp of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Not only that, the appearance of Danzo also became the most critical link used by Mizunoe Ryosuke.

"Sir, I still don't understand who this 'dark' person is that you're talking about, and what impact does it have on the situation?"

Bi shook his head. Although he was an important member of Kumogakure, with his current knowledge, he still didn't know much about some of the secrets of the ninja world.

I have no idea who Mizunoe Ryosuke is talking about.

"This man's name is Danzo Shimura, and he is a disciple of the Second Hokage, along with Hiruzen Sarutobi."

"Now I am specifically dealing with some shady matters for the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen."

"This also includes the 'aftermath' work this time."

"You just need to know that the thoughts of this 'Darkness' are different from those of 'Fire'."

Mizunoe Ryosuke spoke slowly, but he did not continue to mention other things about the depths.

Hearing this, his expression became complicated, but he didn't ask any more questions.

Because he understood the same thing: if Mizunoe Ryosuke didn't want to say it, it would be useless even if he asked.

"Konoha is unlike any other ninja village."

"The complexity of the factions within the village is the most complex in the ninja world."

"The intertwined interests involved cannot be explained to you in a few words."

"All you need to know is that 'An' also wants to be Hokage."

Mizunoe Ryosuke continued, with a slightly sarcastic smile on his face, and it was obvious that this mockery was directed at Danzo Shimura.

"After the attack on Iwagakure's logistics unit, Ōnoki will send someone to investigate."

"You asked me about it before."

"Why should we continue to stay in the Frost Kingdom and take the risk of being surrounded?"

"I'll tell you now."

Mizunoe Ryosuke spoke slowly, with a gleam of brilliance in his eyes.

"What if the 'Darkness' that came to 'clean up' and the 'Earth' that came to investigate collided with each other?"

"What do you think will happen?"

Hearing this, Bi's mind suddenly became clear, and his tightly clenched fists suddenly loosened.

What will happen?

Of course, Iwagakure would take it for granted that everything was done by Konoha!

In other words, Konoha perfectly helped Kumogakure take the blame.

“And that’s what we’re going to do.”

"It's just using some 'small' means."

"Let's do some more misleading to both sides."

"Now, what do you think Sarutobi Hiruzen and Ōnoki think?"

As Mizunoe Ryosuke finished speaking, Bi didn't say anything, but made a standard "dogeza" gesture to Mizunoe Ryosuke.
