This Water Shadow is very strong, but overly cautious.

However, these people have huge problems with their stance, and secondly, they lack restraint and are just a group of scattered soldiers and roving bandits.

At first glance, their strength on paper is indeed good, but in fact, in the eyes of the Great Ninja Village, they are just a group of rabble and are vulnerable.

Furthermore, no one thought that the underground exchange would have the courage to openly challenge Konoha, the overlord of the ninja world.

Since it's neither this nor that, who is it?

For a moment, everyone racked their brains to figure it out, and could only focus their attention on Mizunoe Ryosuke again, waiting for him to reveal the answer.

As for everyone's wild thoughts, Mizunoe Ryosuke roughly guessed something from their expressions.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, he simply stopped keeping everyone in suspense.

This is also the time when Mizunoe Ryosuke officially revealed his plan to everyone.

"Please rest assured, once the time is right, Iwagakure will send troops from the Land of Earth to attack Konoha directly."

Mizunoe Ryosuke spoke slowly, his gentle and elegant face full of confidence.

But as soon as these words were spoken, everyone was suddenly in an uproar.

Even the Third Raikage, who supported Mizunoe Ryosuke the most, had an expression of surprise and disbelief in his eyes.

At that moment, the Third Raikage frowned.

Judging from the fact that no one from Iwagakure came to attend this ninja world meeting, we can roughly guess what Iwagakure’s attitude towards Mizunoe Ryosuke is now.

Whether Mizunoe Ryosuke did not invite Iwagakure or he invited people from Iwagakure but they didn't come, the sinister relationship between the two sides can be seen from either angle.

The most important thing is that the Third Raikage had just experienced a tripartite meeting between Iwagakure, Kumogakure and Mist Village on the battlefield not long ago.

What happened during the meeting is still vivid in the Third Raikage's mind. Without going into other details, let me just tell you one direct point.

At this moment, the Third Tsuchikage Ohnoki is still a "guest" in the Mist Shadow.

Because of this, the Third Raikage couldn't imagine why Iwagakure would help Mizunoe Ryosuke to attack Konoha.

Not only the Third Raikage, the Third Kazekage and other participants, but even the guards on the side frowned and looked at the confident Mizukage.

If it weren't for the great prestige of this Mizukage, someone would probably have immediately suspected that he was insane.

Even Ye Cang and Luo Sha behind the Third Kazekage looked at Mizunoe Ryosuke with suspicion, their eyes full of surprise and uncertainty.

Among all the people, only Mei Terumi was staring at Mizunoe Ryosuke's back with a burning gaze, and her exposed left eye was full of unconditional trust.

Mizunoe Ryosuke naturally saw everyone's surprise and disbelief, but the gentle and elegant expression on his face did not change at all, and he only looked indifferent.

Just then, someone finally raised an objection.

"This is impossible!" (cede)

The hoarse voice reached everyone's ears. The voice was full of toughness and there was no hesitation at all.

The person who spoke was none other than the lone Salamander Hanzo.

The others all took Mizunoe Ryosuke's face into consideration and did not raise any direct questions, but instead tried to think of their words.

Only Hanzo, the Salamander, showed no fear and chose to speak directly.

Mizunoe Ryosuke had naturally anticipated this, he just nodded lightly and asked back.

"Why do you think it's impossible, Chief Hanzo?"

In response to Mizunoe Ryosuke's question, Hanzo still did not hesitate or feel afraid, but spoke directly.

"Impossible is impossible."

"I think we should be the ones asking you this. Now it's your turn to tell us why you think the Iwagakure will help you deal with Konoha."

Salamander Hanzo's voice didn't change at all, and his face was cold and indifferent. He didn't try to hide the doubt in his expression at all.

Salamander Hanzo's doubt still did not change Mizunoe Ryosuke's expression. He just chuckled and shook his head, then started asking everyone.

"Naturally."

"Reason is one thing, but the most important thing is that Iwagakure suffered heavy losses in the war not long ago."

"I don't understand why Iwagakure would send troops to attack Konoha."

This time, it was not Hanzo of the Salamander who answered Mizunoe Ryosuke, but the Third Kazekage who was standing beside him.

Unlike Hanzo's attitude, the Third Kazekage's tone was much softer, but the implication in his words still showed that he did not seem to agree with Ryosuke's words.

"It stands to reason that Kirigakure and Kumogakure were once enemies of Iwagakure."

"Analyzing from other aspects, Iwagakure suffered heavy losses before, and now should be licking their wounds."

"It seems everyone thinks so, right?"

After hearing what the Third Kazekage said, Mizunoe Ryosuke asked again. Although it was a question, his tone was very certain.

There is no doubt that these words naturally expressed the thoughts of everyone, so of course no one refuted them.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Mizunoe Ryosuke just shook his head slowly and then spoke.

"Your ideas are only half right."

"Logically speaking, Iwagakure really shouldn't attack Konoha. On the contrary, they might just cause trouble for us when we're dealing with Konoha."

"But in terms of interests, Iwagakure does have very sufficient reasons to take action against Konoha."

When Mizunoe Ryosuke said this, everyone was stunned.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what Mizunoe Ryosuke was up to.

Chapter 555, Mizunoe Ryosuke's plan

"First of all, you just thought that Iwagakure would side with Konoha because of their hostile stance towards Kirigakure and Kumogakure."

"But you overlooked one issue."

"Does Iwagakure really dare to offend us at this moment?"

Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Mizunoe Ryosuke slowly began to explain.

Upon hearing this, regardless of the praise from others, a glimmer of enlightenment suddenly flashed in the eyes of the Third Raikage.

Yes, whether it is the current "Anti-Fire Alliance" or the Fire Nation Konoha, in the eyes of the weak Iwagakure, they are both untouchable.

Konoha is powerful, so Iwagakure naturally does not dare to provoke Konoha.

But at the same time, how could Iwagakure dare to provoke them?

Therefore, once the current "Anti-Fire Alliance" decides to launch an attack on Konoha, how could Iwagakure easily stand on the side of Konoha and offend this "Anti-Fire Alliance" with many powerful members?

"Therefore, apart from anything else, considering only from this perspective, no matter how much Iwagakure hates Kirigakure and Kumogakure."

"Ultimately, its position can only be neutral."

Mizunoe Ryosuke continued speaking, and the Third Kazekage and Salamander Hanzo, who were a little slower to react, also figured out the trick soon after.

"But even if Iwagakure won't stand on Konoha's side, then according to your theory, Iwagakure will at most not help either side."

"And why would they help us deal with Konoha?"

The Third Kazekage asked again. Although Mizunoe Ryosuke's words could serve as a certain explanation, they still could not explain why Iwagakure would attack Konoha and tie down Konoha's combat power as he said.

"Don't worry, I haven't finished speaking yet."

"You only know one side of the story, not the other."

Mizunoe Ryosuke paused for a moment and shifted his gaze to Hi, who was standing behind the Third Raikage like a black iron tower.

Mizunoe Ryosuke glanced at him, and there seemed to be some unknown deep meaning in his eyes.

"You may not know that during the war between Kumogakure and Iwagakure not long ago."

"Iwagakure's enemies aren't just Kumogakure and Kirigakure. Kumogakure's victory in this war was largely due to Konoha's contribution."

Mizunoe Ryosuke's words made the other people's eyes flash with surprise. They didn't expect Mizunoe Ryosuke to suddenly reveal such shocking information.

Especially Bi, who was standing behind the Third Raikage, instantly understood the deep meaning in Mizunoe Ryosuke's eyes.

As someone who had experienced the entire Frost Country incident, Bee certainly knew very well what "Konoha" had done to Iwagakure.

"how do I say this?"

Seeing this, Hanzo of the Salamander could no longer suppress the doubts in his heart. A gleam of brilliance flashed in his eyes, and he asked Mizunoe Ryosuke directly.

"In the war between Kumogakure and Iwagakure, the battlefield was located in the Land of the Moon, at the gate of the Land of Lightning."

"Therefore, Iwagakure's supplies have an extremely long transportation route, and must pass through several small countries along the way."

"And at that time, Konoha, for 'some reason', chose to directly attack Iwagakure's logistics forces, cutting off Iwagakure's logistics."

"According to my intelligence, the one who did it should be Danzo, the leader of the Konoha Root Organization."

Mizunoe Ryosuke spoke righteously, his face full of seriousness and earnestness, as if the words he said were ironclad facts, which made people feel inexplicably convinced at first sight.

Putting the blame on Danzo has become an almost instinctive action for Mizunoe Ryosuke.

After all, Danzo is such a useful scapegoat, and it would be a shame to not use him to honor Danzo's reputation as the "Darkness of the Ninja World."

Of course, there were still people at the table who knew the truth behind Mizunoe Ryosuke's words, especially Bi on the side, who had a slightly strange look in his eyes.

"Is this true?"

Salamander Hanzo asked again, this time with an unpredictable light in his eyes.

"of course."

"I think the Kumogakure side should also be aware of this matter."

Mizunoe Ryosuke nodded calmly, with a serious expression on his face.

Seeing this, Bina, who had previously received a "eye reminder" from Mizunoe Ryosuke, knew it clearly, so he immediately came out to endorse Mizunoe Ryosuke.

"I can prove that this is indeed the case."

At that moment, Bi's voice reached everyone's ears, attracting everyone's attention to his face.

Looking at the rough face that was almost identical to that of the Third Raikage, everyone quickly looked away.

They knew in their hearts that with the status of "Prince Yunyin", it was impossible for him to tell lies in such an occasion.

With Bi's endorsement, almost everyone now knows that there is such a feud between Iwagakure and Konoha.

·· ····Request flowers··· ····

Now, everyone began to believe that perhaps Iwagakure would really take action against Konoha.

But this alone is not enough. After all, hatred is hatred, but without sufficient interests to drive them, they are still unwilling to believe that Iwagakure will take the initiative to attack Konoha.

Soon, Mizunoe Ryosuke revealed the answer to everyone.

"Mr. Shibuki, this time, it will be up to you to explain the situation to everyone."

As he spoke, Mizunoe Ryosuke turned his gaze to Shibuki.

At that moment, Shibuki, who was sitting on the "Taki" chair, trembled subconsciously. He first looked around cautiously.

When he saw the focused gazes of powerful people like Hanzo of the Salamander and the Third Raikage, Shibuki suddenly felt the pressure in his heart.

 …

These guys are all extremely ruthless. He is unfamiliar with the place and Takinin has encountered great changes. He can't afford to offend these big guys.

Hanzo and the others had never paid much attention to Shibuki, the leader of the Takinin who had been invisible from the beginning.

Seeing Mizunoe Ryosuke speak, several people suddenly became curious. They couldn't imagine what critical situation would require the explanation of this seemingly weak Takinin leader.

At that moment, Shibuki withdrew his secret gaze and his eyes overlapped with Mizunoe Ryosuke's.

Even though he was inconspicuous at the table, Shibuki was still considered a powerful figure in the ninja world, and he still had the ability to read people's expressions.

So almost instantly, Shibuki understood what Mizunoe Ryosuke wanted him to say.

So, Shibuki swallowed his saliva and slowly began to tell the story.

“The story probably started more than half a month ago.”

Soon, as Shibuki narrated, everyone gradually learned the whole story of Iwagakure's invasion of Takinin.

Through Shibuki's narration, the Third Kazekage, who was unaware of this information, learned of this situation.

The Iron Country's generals Mifune and the Third Raikage, who were closer to Takigakure and knew of Iwagakure's actions, learned more inside information through Shibuki's narration.

After speaking to a certain point, Shibuki's words suddenly stopped.
