This Water Shadow is very strong, but overly cautious.

"If I don't agree to your terms, the worst that can happen is that both of us will perish, right?"

"Are you still trying to say that you have more than 10,000 capable Iwagakure in your command and that you will definitely fail if you fight with all your might?"

Mizunoe Ryosuke gradually restrained his somewhat ostentatious smile and questioned Huangtu in a calm tone.

0 ....

His question seemed to hit the weakest spot in Huang Tu's heart.

Yes, the key to the problem is that even if Huang Tu can negotiate terms out of impulse, what is his capital for negotiation?

After all, the one sitting here is the Mizukage of Kirigakure, not the Raikage of Kumogakure.

Even if he made a desperate counterattack, the casualties would be the Cloud Ninjas of Kumogakure. What does it have to do with Kirigakure?

Do you really think that after establishing a covenant, we will all be one family?

What's going on? How could Huang Tu not know about the intrigues among the allies?

Before Huang Tu could say anything, Mizunoe Ryosuke spoke again.

"Besides, do you think Iwagakure still has a chance of a fight to the death?"

After he finished speaking, Mizunoe Ryosuke looked at Huang Tu with an expression as if he was sure of defeating him, his eyes full of amusement.

"What do you mean?"

Huangtu finally couldn't sit still anymore, and a hint of panic appeared on his face.

Although Huang Tu was already considered excellent, due to the disparity in strength and information, Mizunoe Ryosuke still managed to break down his defenses.

Chapter 364: Increasing Pressure

"Now that you know, Kumogakure and Kirigakure have formed an alliance."

"Then you wouldn't think that I, the Mizukage, am alone, would you?"

Mizunoe Ryosuke still stared at the yellow earth, his expression neither happy nor sad, but there was still an incomprehensible depth in his eyes.

"A single leaf blocks the view of Mount Tai." Following Mizunoe Ryosuke's words, Huang Tu suddenly thought of something.

Mizunoe Ryosuke's terrifying combat power made Huang Tu subconsciously ignore the fact that the opponent was also the "Mizukage" representing the highest military commander of a country!

He didn't care about Mizunoe Ryosuke in the tent. He rushed out of the tent quickly and kept looking around the battlefield, as if looking for something.

Finally, he found his goal in "Seven Eight Zero".

On the hill east of the battlefield, thick fog suddenly appeared.

From a distance, you can see many erratic human figures on the edge of the thick fog. Against the backdrop of the fog, they look like ghosts that have just emerged from the underworld.

From a distance, the fog covered the sky and the figures in the fog were hazy and could not be counted clearly, but at least one thing was certain, that is, there were at least thousands of ninjas among them.

There is no need to explain the source of the thick fog.

Ninjutsu. The Hidden Mist Technique! This is the signature ninjutsu of the Hidden Mist.

As for the "ghost" hidden in the fog, there is no need to say much. It is of course the Mist Ninja of the Hidden Mist.

Seeing this, Huang Tu's pupils shrank slightly.

There are 1,000 Rock Ninjas defending the eastern coast.

At that moment, Huangtu understood that the Mist Ninja must have dispatched a force powerful enough to crush the 1,000 Rock Ninja, which led to the annihilation of the 1,000 Rock Ninja, without even a single person coming to report the news.

At least what can be concluded is that the army that was able to completely wipe out an entire Rock Ninja force of a thousand men, without even leaving a single survivor, must be the main force of Kirigakure!

Huangtu even imagined the scene where the main force of Kirigakure crossed the sea and defeated the Iwagakure ninja troops on the coast.

It was just because of the concealment of the Mist Hidden Technique that Huang Tu had no way of judging how many people were in the main force of the Mist Hidden Technique!

One thousand, two thousand? Three thousand, five thousand, ten thousand?

As one of the five great ninja villages, if Kirigakure is determined to intervene in a war, it would not be difficult for it to dispatch a ninja army of tens of thousands of people.

If Kirigakure really had a 10,000-man ninja force supporting the battlefield

Huang Tu didn't even dare to think in this direction for a moment.

At present, several core members of the Iwagakure have been defeated one after another, some died in battle, and some were captured. Their morale has dropped to the extreme.

On the battlefield, the number of people in the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Rock Village is not much different at present.

Gu Huangtu estimated that as long as this Mist Ninja force had 3,000 people, the entire Iwagakure front line would soon collapse.

Looking at the white fog that covered the sky, Huang Tu felt his heart stop beating for a moment.

How could a vast Kirigakure, with such a situation, only have less than 3,000 troops to join the battle? It was impossible to even think about it.

The ever-spreading thick fog finally stopped at the edge of the battlefield, and was in a standoff with the Iwagakure's troops. It was obvious that this troop was waiting for the order to attack.

Seeing this, Huang Tu knew that everything was just as Mizunoe Ryosuke said.

Iwagakure has completely lost the possibility of a desperate situation.

At that moment, Huangtu turned around and walked into the tent with heavy steps.

He knew that there was an even crueler reality waiting for him to face.

In the tent, Mizunoe Ryosuke still sat in the main seat as before, looking at the yellow earth with a calm expression without saying a word.

Under these piercing eyes, Huang Tu's soul seemed to have been weighed clearly...

"Yellow Earth Jonin, what do you think and want to say now?"

Mizunoe Ryosuke asked calmly, but every word seemed to hit the weakest part of Huang Tu's heart.

The ones who arrived at the battlefield at this moment were naturally the elite members of the Kirigakure Anbu led by Mangetsu Kizuki.

Under Mizunoe Ryosuke's precise control of the battle situation, Hozuki Mangetsu's entry at this time was just right.

Even though Mangetsu Kizuki only had two thousand men under his command, Huang Tu was unable to judge the number of people under the influence of the Mist Hidden Technique and could only rely on his subjective conjecture.

As for whether Huangtu thought the number of the Mist Ninja troops arriving was 5,000 or 10,000, it didn't matter.

What’s important is that the arrival of the Mist Ninja Corps has successfully shattered the last bit of hope in Huang Tu’s heart.

Huang Tu was silent. For a moment he didn't know what to say.

The situation is hopeless. Even if he is unwilling, what can he do?

But what he couldn't understand from beginning to end was that since Mizunoe Ryosuke was already sure of victory, why did he come to negotiate with him so many times.

Wouldn't it be better to just cut the roots out?

Iwagakure and Kirigakure are old enemies. How could enemies give each other a chance just out of mercy?

What was his purpose? There must be a point that Huangtu failed to grasp, which led to such a passive situation.

Why?

Huang Tu fell into deep thought. As long as he could find out Mizunoe Ryosuke's motives, there would still be a glimmer of hope.

"Mister Mizukage, there is something I don't understand. I would appreciate your guidance."

"Now that things have come to this, why do you insist on coming here to persuade us to surrender when you have such a great advantage?"

Unable to figure it out, Huangtu simply stopped thinking about it.

Under such circumstances, Huang Tu launched a last-ditch effort, which was to ask Mizunoe Ryosuke directly.

Chapter 365: The devil who plays with people’s hearts, the inner demon!

Huang Tu firmly believed that Mizunoe Ryosuke must have some reason to start negotiations, so he took the initiative to come forward to seek negotiations.

As long as he knew this, he would know what Iwagakure's real "bargaining chip" was in this negotiation.

Although it is ironic that Iwagakure does not know the cards in its own hand, this is the reality and Huangtu has no other choice.

Of course, Mizunoe Ryosuke would not let Huangtu get what he wanted easily.

In this game of wits and strategies, Iwagakure had already been defeated after the events of Frost Country.

As the saying goes, one wrong move and the whole game is lost.

The Iwagakure, who had not realized what the problem was until this moment, actually delusionally hoped that his opponent on the chess board would take the initiative to hand over his cards. This was obviously a delusion.

Upon hearing this, a hint of deepness appeared in Mizunoe Ryosuke's eyes, but he just smiled in response to Huang Tu's question.

"Yellow Earth Jonin, you haven't given up yet?"

As he spoke, Mizunoe Ryosuke slowly shook his head, as if he had no comment on Huang Tu's question.

Seeing that Huangtu was so persistent, Mizunoe Ryosuke didn't mind 24 giving Huangtu another heavy punch.

In fact, the essence of this negotiation is very simple. It is nothing more than a competition between the weight of the "weights" in the hands of both parties.

Although Huang Tu knew clearly that if he wanted to make a desperate fight with the combat power of 10,000 Rock Ninjas in his hands, the final result would only be a complete defeat.

But he still did not give up the possibility of using these ten thousand Yanshinin as bargaining chips to gain a better situation.

The reason is that Huangtu believes that even though Mizunoe Ryosuke has more "chips" than him, he still cannot crush him.

Therefore, he felt that there might be room for maneuver.

This is also the reason why Huang Tu has been obsessed with finding out Mizunoe Ryosuke's motives and trying to find a glimmer of hope.

And since Huang Tu still has some "unrealistic" fantasies in his heart, Mizunoe Ryosuke doesn't mind completely extinguishing them.

"Well, since you are so persistent, it doesn't hurt for me to tell you."

"Do you really think that I let Iwagakure live because of Iwagakure itself?"

"Have you forgotten about the Frost Country?"

Mizunoe Ryosuke looked directly at Huangtu with a penetrating gaze, and every word he said was like a heavy hammer hitting Huangtu's heart.

In an instant, Huang Tu's face turned pale.

The biggest turning point that led Iwagakure to this point in the war occurred on the land of Frost.

It can even be said that if it were not for what happened in the Frost Country, the Rock Ninja would still be sitting on the Diaoyutai at this moment.

The root cause of Iwagakure's defeat was the two thousand logistics troops who disappeared silently on that snowy night!

All the information about the Frost Country incident was basically handled by Huang Tu, so how could Huang Tu not know the impact of the Frost Country incident?

At this moment, Mizunoe Ryosuke suddenly brought it up, but it was not just a simple rehash of the past.

Instead, he actually stabbed a sharp blade into Huang Tu's heart.

"How could he know!!!"

Huang Tu's heart choked, a trace of struggle flashed across his face, and he couldn't help but clench his hands into fists.

From the intelligence currently held by the Iwagakure, the two conflicts that broke out before and after the Frost Country were both actions launched by Konoha in collusion with the Takigakure.

Logically speaking, it should have nothing to do with Kirigakure, so how could the Fourth Mizukage know about it?

After the shock, Huangtu quickly cursed himself in his heart for being completely confused and disoriented.

As an ally of Kumogakure, Konoha would naturally report to Kumogakure about the actions of the Iwagakure ninja, and Kumogakure and Kirigakure had concluded a war treaty against Iwagakure.

It was natural for Mizunoe Ryosuke to learn this news from Kumogakure.

So, Huang Tu found a "reason" in his mind for Mizunoe Ryosuke to know the truth, and perfectly missed the last chance to find out the truth.

Thinking of this, Huang Tu felt more and more pressured.

Because at this moment in his mind, he had already outlined a huge "anti-Turkish alliance" that did not exist.

Perhaps in secret, Konoha, Kumogakure, Kirigakure and Takigakure have already reached a certain tacit understanding and agreement on the issue of Iwagakure.

This is absolutely terrible!

At that moment, Huangtu was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.

"I think you should know what's going on in the Frost Country."

"Do you really think that if you don't surrender, you can return to the Land of Earth alive with these ten thousand Rock Ninja?"

Mizunoe Ryosuke said softly, with an inexplicable wave of emotion flickering in his eyes.

The look in his eyes when he looked at Huangtu was full of amusement and mystery. From Huangtu's expression, Ryosuke had perfectly guessed Huangtu's inner thoughts.

Through unilateral crushing at the information level and precise control of human nature, Mizunoe Ryosuke has perfectly guided Huang Tu into the trap through language.

Mizunoe Ryosuke's words undoubtedly completely triggered Huang Tu's biggest worries.
