This Water Shadow is very strong, but overly cautious.

Thousands of thoughts flashed quickly in Huangtu's brain. For a moment, he felt extremely confused, as if his whole head was about to explode.

"That's what I'll say."

"Suppose I do nothing now and lead Kirigakure to retreat directly."

"Yunyin also agreed to negotiate peace with you and let you go."

"Do you think you can really leave like this?"

"It's true that Konoha is fighting against the Rain Ninja Sunagakure, but do you think that these alone can tie Konoha's hands and feet?"

"Do you know where the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen is now? Do you know where the Uchiha and Hyuga clans of Konoha are now?"

Mizunoe Ryosuke ignored Huang Tu, whose mentality had been completely unbalanced, and continued to speak.

This time, Mizunoe Ryosuke's tone was a bit cold and urgent, and he asked in an almost interrogative tone.

Although the words did not explicitly say that Konoha would attack Iwagakure, every word undoubtedly implied that Konoha would launch an attack on Iwagakure on its retreat!

In fact, humans themselves are such animals.

If you are extremely unfamiliar with an idea, or have never even thought about it before.

Then no matter what others say or persuade, it will be of no avail.

But if you have fantasized about something in your heart at some point in time, and if someone else brings it up again and guides you in this way, you will easily fall into it.

In the past, salespeople such as those who sold houses and cars were best at doing things this way.

This method is not simply to force thoughts into your mind, but to use language to guide the anxiety in your heart to erupt in advance.

So did Huangtu ever feel worried about Konoha?

The answer is of course yes, and it's not just a matter of worry. Huangtu even believes that Konoha will definitely attack the Iwagakure on the way back.

Chopping the grass does not remove the roots, but the spring breeze blows and regenerates.

Even a three-year-old child in the ninja world knows this truth, not to mention the Hokage who controls the most powerful force in the ninja world, Konoha Village.

Chapter 366: Like a God, Like a Devil

If you don't kill the snake, you will suffer from it.

Huangtu understood this principle, and Konoha's third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen naturally understood it as well.

Even if they escaped from the battlefield of the Moon Country, the next opponent waiting for Iwagakure was Konoha.

Judging others by his own standards, Huangtu was extremely certain that in the next few decades, Iwagakure and Konoha would definitely become enemies who would fight to the death.

Iwagakure will never forget what Konoha "did" in this war.

This is not a question of right or wrong, everything is the result of interests and hatred.

After all, if the incident of "Konoha's surprise attack on Iwagakure's logistics forces" had not happened, then this "Thunder and Earth War" would most likely have ended with Iwagakure winning by occupying the entire territory of the Moon Country.

Therefore, in this war, the one that Iwagakure hated the most was Konoha.

After all, in the eyes of Iwagakure, Konoha's image at the moment is that of a "villain who stabs you in the back."

The matter has come to this, and it is useless to say more.

Mizunoe Ryosuke's words only exposed the biggest concerns of Huangtu and Iwagakure.

According to the original plan of the Third Tsuchikage Ohnoki, although the situation was unfavorable for the Iwagakure side, they still had the chance to escape unscathed.

First, defeat the Kumogakure and injure the Third Raikage, so as to make the Kumogakure afraid to continue fighting, and thus negotiate peace with the Kumogakure.

Then, the Iwagakure ninjas can retreat safely without any worries.

In the absence of support from Kumogakure, Konoha might not dare to do anything to Iwagakure, relying only on the Iwagakure's 10,000-strong army, which still has sufficient combat power, and the deterrence of the Kage-level strongman Lao Zi.

But now, Ohnoki's plan has completely come to nothing.

First of all, in the first step, it is true that the Iwagakure side did injure the Third Raikage.

But at the same time, the price paid was that the Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki was seriously injured and even captured.

The most important thing is that after defeating the Third Raikage, the Iwagakure, who should have won on the battlefield, was defeated by the Fourth Mizukage Mizunoe Ryosuke who suddenly appeared.

The Kage-level strongman Lao Zi was killed, the Four-Tails was captured, and the Mist Ninja suddenly appeared.

All these things caused the situation of the Iwagakure to plummet to the bottom, and completely shattered Ohnoki's plan.

To be fair, there was nothing wrong with Ohnoki's plan.

Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes. Compared with Mizunoe Ryosuke who is in the "atmosphere", Ohnoki's level is still a little too low.

"Now, do you still think that you and these ten thousand rock ninjas can return to the Land of Earth alive?"

"Under such circumstances, how can you talk about a life-and-death struggle?"

"The fish will definitely die, but the net may not."

"The Iwagakure's logistics can't hold out for much longer."

Mizunoe Ryosuke's quiet voice sounded again.

At this moment, Huang Tu, the son of the third Tsuchikage who was known for his steadiness, was covered in cold sweat and trembling all over.

From the beginning to now, every word and every sentence of Mizunoe Ryosuke has been constantly raising the issues that Huang Tu has been avoiding in his heart.

However, these are objective facts that Huangtu cannot escape and has to face.

"Whoo, whoo, whoo"

Huang Tu was breathing heavily, with cold sweat dripping down his forehead, as if he had just woken up from a nightmare.

Seeing this, Mizunoe Ryosuke shook his head slightly. He knew that he had completely defeated the yellow earth in front of him psychologically.

"Young man, your ability to bear it is simply not enough."

"I haven't used my ultimate yet."

Mizunoe Ryosuke said secretly with some regret in his heart.

"Don't you understand yet? What exactly is the 'value' of Iwagakure?"

"Or"

"What is the 'chip' you've been searching for?"

Mizunoe Ryosuke spoke with a gentle expression as he slowly moved in front of Huangtu and patted Huangtu's shoulder lightly.

In an instant, Huang Tu's burly body trembled violently several times as if he had been electrocuted.

Huang Tu turned his gaze to Mizunoe Ryosuke who was close to him, his eyes fixed on his face, like a carp that had just been fished out of the river.

From Huang Tu's perspective, Mizunoe Ryosuke's gentle expression, even with a hint of a smile, looked exactly like the devil's smile.

In Huangtu's heart at this moment, the most evil expression cannot compare to Mizunoe Ryosuke's smile. In the countless days and nights to come, Mizunoe Ryosuke's smile will be an indelible shadow in Huangtu's heart.

Even in countless midnight dreams, this gentle smile is the source of Huang Tu's nightmares.

Although Huang Tu's body was shaking constantly, his heart was also twitching and cold.

Mizunoe Ryosuke's expression remained unchanged, but there seemed to be an unspeakable depth in his eyes.

For some reason, Huang Tu suddenly remembered what Mizunoe Ryosuke had said to him before: "Your vision is still too narrow. If Onoki were here, he might understand what I mean."

What was it that Ohnoki could see through but he couldn't understand?

The teachings that the Third Tsuchikage Ohnoki once gave to Huang Tu kept ringing in his ears. Finally, the only thing left in his mind was the sentence that Ohnoki once told him.

——There are no eternal enemies in the ninja world, nor are there eternal enemies, only eternal interests!

Suddenly, Huang Tu's body trembled violently, and he seemed to suddenly "figure out everything."

Including what Mizunoe Ryosuke called "Iwagakure's bargaining chip", which is what he has been pursuing. What is the reason why Mizunoe Ryosuke is unwilling to kill Iwagakure.

It turns out that everything happened because of this reason.

Although he figured everything out, Huang Tu's heart became increasingly cold and pure.

In a daze, Huangtu's legs suddenly went soft and he sat down on the ground, unable to get up for a long time.

A powerful quasi-shadow master would actually lose his composure like this!

What on earth was he thinking about?

Seeing Huang Tu's loss of composure, Mizunoe Ryosuke instead showed a satisfied smile.

It seems that this is the scene he wants!

And this smile is like that of a god, but also like that of a devil.

Chapter 367: Passing Through the Army

As we all know, the previous version of Naruto was a passionate manga, and the main theme was the word "burning".

But despite this, all the "burning" of the protagonist in Naruto is almost always set off by the "darkness" of the villains and supporting characters.

The essence of this work lies in its "darkness".

Even someone as powerful as Hashirama Senju, who was already invincible in the world, could still be killed by Uchiha Madara's scheme.

Even someone as powerful as Uchiha Madara, who was "no less powerful than the Six Paths Sage", could be killed by Black Zetsu's "Black Tiger Heart-Ripping" attack.

In such a dark ninja world, who dares to claim to be undefeated and who dares to claim to be invincible?

The ninja world is not a place where you can have the last laugh just by having passion and a pair of iron fists.

Of course, the protagonist's halo is an exception.

Looking at Naruto as a whole, there are almost no characters whose hearts are completely bright.

Naruto is actually an anime that tells a dark and tortuous story under the guise of passion.

The darkness of the ninja world is so dark that even the brightest light can only be obscured and annihilated.

"Black", how could Huang Tu, who was trained by Ohnoki as the successor of 780, not know it?

But at this moment, the loess has become so completely "black" that its defenses have collapsed.

Especially when he thought of Mizunoe Ryosuke's gentle and elegant face, Huang Tu shuddered.

It’s dark, so dark!

Ignoring Huangtu who was completely "dejected", Mizunoe Ryosuke smiled and gently patted Huangtu's shoulder.

"follow me."

As he spoke, Mizunoe Ryosuke used the strength of one hand to forcibly lift the yellow soil from the ground.

But at this time, Huang Tu's legs were still a little weak and he couldn't stand steadily.

The yellow earth, which is nearly two meters tall, is held in one hand by Mizunoe Ryosuke, who is only 1.8 meters tall. The picture is full of incongruity.

Mizunoe Ryosuke ignored the embarrassed Huangtu and walked out of the tent with him.

At this moment, the command post of Iwagakure was the focus of everyone's attention. Not only the Iwagakure ninjas, but also the Kumogakure ninjas were craning their necks to pay attention to what was going on inside.

Because the Cloud Ninjas were also not clear about what Mizunoe Ryosuke was planning when he suddenly went straight to the Iwagakure commander.

At that moment, the Mizukage of Kirigakure, Mizunoe Ryosuke, and the current commander of Iwagakure, Huang Tu, walked out of the tent one after another in a very strange posture.

Huang Tu walked in front with unsteady steps, while Mizunoe Ryosuke put one hand on Huang Tu's shoulder and walked behind him with a smile.

At first glance, you might think the two were good friends who hadn't seen each other for many years.

The two of them kept walking forward, and no one except Mizunoe Ryosuke knew what was in Ryosuke's mind at the moment.

Wherever the two of them passed, all the Iwagakure ninjas gave them a wide berth without Ryosuke Mizunotsuki saying a word, and only dared to look at Ryosuke Mizunotsuki's face with a gentle smile with trembling eyes.

It is not known whether these Rock Ninjas are simply afraid to act because Huang Tu was "captured", or whether they are simply afraid.

Mizunoe Ryosuke's gaze swept across the faces of every Iwagakure ninja, and the heartbeats of all the Iwagakure ninjas caught in his gaze stopped for a moment.

Huang Tu, whose shoulder was supported by Mizunoe Ryosuke, gradually recovered from his previous loss of composure.

Although his face was still pale, his legs were much better than before.

Although Mizunoe Ryosuke simply placed his hand on Huang Tu's shoulder, he neither used any ability nor exerted excessive force.

However, Huang Tu could still vaguely feel a hint of cold deathly aura coming from the place where Mizunoe Ryosuke's palm touched.

Huang Tu didn't know what Mizunoe Ryosuke was planning to do, but he didn't dare to act rashly.

He could only look straight ahead, take difficult steps forward, and accept the "stares" of his fellow Iwagakure ninjas around him.
