This Water Shadow is very strong, but overly cautious.

"The benefits you mentioned earlier only concern the five major countries."

"I want to ask what the Rain Ninja will gain after winning this battle?"

Hanzo of the Salamander stared at Ryosuke Mizunoe with burning eyes, waiting for Ryosuke Mizunoe's reply.

After this battle: the Kingdom of Wind will obtain the Kingdom of River, an important grain-producing area; the Kingdom of Water will obtain the Kingdom of Soup, a trade route connecting the continent; and the Kingdom of Thunder will obtain the Kingdom of Field, a key place to expand its strategic depth.

Even the Land of Earth, for the sake of balance, was balanced by the Land of Grass.

Only in the Land of Rain, Mizunoe Ryosuke did not promise anything.

Therefore, now, Hanzo of the Salamander had no choice but to ask for clarification.

In response to this, Mizunoe Ryosuke's answer was even simpler and clearer.

"There are only two things I can give to the Rain Kingdom."

"Peace and the future."

Mizunoe Ryosuke looked at Hanzo of the Salamander meaningfully, and there seemed to be some intriguing meaning in his eyes.

Hearing this, Hanzo's pupils shrank slightly and he fell into complete silence.

At this moment, he really hoped that he had not understood the deep meaning of Mizunoe Ryosuke's words.

Some things didn't need to be explained, he understood them instantly.

"I said, after this battle, the ninja world will usher in balance and peace."

"And the same is true for small countries."

"The survival of the fittest is the essence of the ninja world, and no one can change it."

"From this perspective, small countries will always be exploited by big countries, and if they want to change, small countries must change themselves."

Mizunoe Ryosuke just looked deeply at the silent Salamander Hanzo, and then spoke slowly.

"So if a small nation wants peace, it can only integrate into the environment of a larger nation and join the new balance that is about to take shape in the ninja world."

"You have to pay for what you gain. I think Leader Hanzo understands this principle."

"This Ninja World Conference will change more than just the gap in combat power between the major powers."

"After this battle, there will be no more ninja villages in this small country. I think you should understand this."

As Mizunoe Ryosuke continued his story, a hint of understanding flashed in the eyes of the Third Kazekage and the Third Raikage. They had already thought of this result in their minds.

It’s just that it’s unclear whether such a result is good or bad for small countries.

It was obvious that Hanzo had anticipated this result.

But he never expected that the fairness he ultimately pursued would be achieved in this way.

At this point, the smart person no longer needs to say anything more. The situation is before him, and he needs to make his own judgment on the choice.

Or, join the upcoming great power system, be protected by the great power's military power, and receive peace and fair treatment due to the new constraints formed between the great powers.

Or, it can become independent of the great powers and continue to be a battlefield for struggles between great powers, always in the midst of war.

The Rain Country has a unique geographical location, being located between the three major countries of Wind, Fire and Earth. No matter which of the three countries the Rain Country joins, it is obviously inappropriate from any perspective.

Looking at Mizunoe Ryosuke's meaningful eyes, the answer was already in front of Hanzo of the Salamander.

“I understand.”

Salamander Hanzo didn't say much, just nodded lightly, and then continued speaking.

"second question."

"How can you guarantee that your plan will succeed, even with the combined efforts of Rain, Sand, Kumo, and Iwagakure?"

"But it doesn't mean that Konoha is powerless to fight. How can you ensure that your plan can proceed?"

Upon hearing this, everyone at the table gradually calmed down. They suddenly realized that they had been so shocked that they had not noticed such a loophole in Mizunoe Ryosuke's plan.

"Don't worry, I'm prepared for this."

"From the current perspective, Konoha does still have the strength to fight, but don't forget, not everyone is willing to fight to the death with the Third Hokage."

"Besides, we don't really want to fight Konoha to the death. Konoha will give in then."

"We only need to appropriately weaken the Third Hokage's voice within Konoha. By then, other factions within Konoha will help us achieve our goals."

With Mizunoe Ryosuke's answer, the last piece of the puzzle of this huge plan was calmly put together.

"Now, as long as we get rid of one person, everything will be fine."

"Don't worry, everyone."

As he spoke, the corners of Mizunoe Ryosuke's mouth curved upward again.

But for some reason, when everyone saw Mizunoe Ryosuke's smile, they couldn't help but feel a chill down their spine.

Thinking of how Konoha had been completely schemed against without even doing anything, everyone secretly vowed in their hearts that they would never offend this unfathomable Mizukage in the future.

Chapter 560: To win the team battle, Danzo must die

The "person who must be killed" that Mizunoe Ryosuke mentioned is none other than the "Darkness of the Ninja World", Shimura Danzo!

Even though Danzo was just a defeated general who was toyed with by Mizunoe Ryosuke several times, Ryosuke never underestimated his enemy.

He knew in his heart that the biggest reason why he could easily manipulate all the ninja heroes in the original work was because he took advantage of the information gap.

The information advantage that the time traveler brought to Mizunoe Ryosuke was the real reason why he was able to use his planning to severely harm the Third Hokage, Danzo and even Uchiha Madara, the heroes of the ninja world.

Once the information advantage brought by the time travelers is truly eliminated, everyone will be put on the same track.

Mizunoe Ryosuke doesn't think he can definitely defeat Danzo and the Third Hokage in terms of intelligence.

Under this premise, although Ryosuke is strong enough to crush the current Danzo and even the Third Hokage, he has never underestimated the Third Hokage and Danzo Shimura.

If a person is killed, he will die, even Ryosuke Mizunoe is no exception.

But don't forget that "stability" is something that is engraved in Mizunoe Ryojie's bones.

Although with the occurrence of many things, Mizunoe Ryosuke's understanding of "stability" has deepened.

But this did not change his original intention. Using the most reliable way to increase the probability of success of the plan is the principle that Mizunoe Ryosuke has always adhered to.

The wheel of time will continue to advance with history, which means that no matter what problem occurs, it will not remain in the same place over time.

These problems may be eliminated or intensified, but they will not remain the same forever.

The same is true of hatred and war.

Every time a war breaks out in the ninja world, the reason seems to be very simple. It is just because the hatred is difficult to resolve and the surge leads to the outbreak of war.

But in fact it is not that simple.

For example, during the First Shinobi World War, the direct cause of the war was that the other four major countries, out of jealousy and envy of the Fire Country, took advantage of the interval after the death of Senju Hashirama to directly launch a war, trying to destroy Konoha and divide the Fire Country.

However, as time went by, the ninja world reached the time point of the Second Shinobi World War. The conflicts in the ninja world were no longer as simple as they were during the First Shinobi World War more than ten years ago.

The leaders of the five major countries gradually realized the reality and knew that it was basically impossible to destroy any of the major countries.

But whether it is a country or a ninja village, resources are needed to develop.

No matter who you are, your desire for resources and power is unlimited, even Konoha, the richest of the five major countries.

If there are not enough resources, the most convenient and quickest way is to rob them!

To rob would mean starting a war.

Decades have passed, and the five Kage of the five major ninja villages have figured out the principle of picking on the weak.

Therefore, the five major countries no longer focus on each other, but instead turn their attention to the "soft persimmons" around them that are easy to bully.

——On the small countries.

Under such circumstances, the big countries began to exploit and oppress the small countries, and Konoha, the Land of Fire, was the worst hit.

It was also because of this oppression that Konoha became the most powerful for a time and achieved unparalleled glory.

Even the reason for wars between major powers is no longer simply to plunder each other.

Rather, it is to seize the small countries controlled by the other side and exploit the interests of these small countries.

This is also the fundamental reason why since the First Ninja World War, the battlefields between big countries have been placed above the neighboring small countries.

Over time, small countries will naturally become increasingly dissatisfied with the exploitation and oppression of big countries.

It is precisely in this environment that there are rebels like Hanzo of the Salamander who actively challenge the great powers.

Therefore, the fundamental reason for the Second Shinobi World War was actually the backlash of a small country against a big country.

There are indeed many reasons why the Water Country Kirigakure did not appear in the Second Ninja World War in the original work.

But the most direct and fundamental reason is that the Water Country is isolated overseas and it is difficult to attack other small countries in the ninja world.

Because it does not control other neighboring small countries, the Water Kingdom will neither become the target of other big countries nor suffer the backlash of hatred from small countries.

This is the fundamental reason why Kirigakure did not participate in the Second Ninja World War in the original work.

Mizunoe Ryosuke's ultimate goal is to create a peaceful environment in order to achieve his "stable path".

The ice three feet thick does not form in a day, and resolving the hatred in the ninja world is not something that can be accomplished in a day or two.

But the most important thing is to completely quell the war in the ninja world first.

·· ····Request flowers··· ····

To this end, Mizunoe Ryosuke has already cleaned up the unstable Iwagakure and made multiple plans in advance for Konoha, the Land of Fire, the source of the war in the ninja world.

Konoha's Senju Princess, Tsunade, has already transformed her body and mind into his shape.

Therefore, as long as he could force the old-timer Third Hokage to step down and support Tsunade to become Hokage, he could end the war without bloodshed and control most of the ninja world in one fell swoop.

If you think carefully about Mizunoe Ryosuke's actions, you will find that he has already unknowingly woven a huge network covering the five major countries.

Among the five major countries.

The Land of Water, Kirigakure, is the territory of Mizunoe Ryosuke and has long been shaped by him into his own shape.

 …

Konoha, the Land of Fire, once Tsunade comes to power, Konoha will be equivalent to Ryosuke's back garden.

With the high-ranking hostage Ōnoki in his hands, he could directly force Iwagakure to commit a crime.

The Wind Country, Sand Village, will gradually be controlled by him thanks to its trade and economic dependence.

In the Land of Lightning, Kumogakure, thanks to his master-disciple relationship with the Fourth Raikage and the deterrence he himself displays, Mizunoe Ryosuke has no worries that Kumogakure will become his enemy.

Once Mizunoe Ryosuke's plan succeeds, the five major ninja villages will basically be under his control.

By then he would have plenty of time to transform Shinobu into what he wanted.

At present, Mizunoe Ryosuke has basically completed the tasks in Kirigakure, Iwagakure, Sand Village, and Kumogakure, leaving only the most difficult Konoha.

Based on this situation, it is not difficult to understand why Mizunoe Ryosuke decided to kill Danzo Shimura, the useful "Ninja World Pot King" at this time.

The biggest difficulty in making his plan succeed is how to make three generations abdicate.

Now he has controlled the power of most of the ninja world and launched an attack on Konoha.

Even in this situation, the Third Hokage had the ability to give it a try thanks to Konoha's foundation.

Therefore, before the plan is officially launched, weakening the power of the Third Hokage is an essential step.

Among them, the "Darkness of the Ninja World" Shimura Danzo undoubtedly plays an extremely key role.

Chapter 561, Blushing Terumi Mei

Mizunoe Ryosuke's plan is to force the Third Hokage to abdicate.

The most direct way to achieve this result seems to be to just kill it and put an end to it.

But this quick and decisive move was actually a truly bad one.

Killing Sarutobi Hiruzen rashly would only arouse hatred within Konoha and lead to a situation of endless struggle.

Ryosuke's ultimate goal is to control the ninja world, not to destroy it.

Destruction and killing will only create extreme hatred and a more chaotic situation, which is absolutely contrary to Ryosuke Mizunoe's plan.

Therefore, the best way is to push Sarutobi Hiruzen out of power directly from within Konoha.

The rule of Konoha by the Third Hokage of Konoha, Sarutobi Hiruzen, was based on a four-person group consisting of himself, Danzo Shimura, and Mitomonen Koharu.
