Chapter 1005: ...one person can fight a village
Mizunuki Ryosuke's sudden burst of aura directly broke the confrontation that had not yet formed between the Third Kazekage and Hanzo of the Salamander.
As the organizer of this talk, no matter whether Mizunuki Ryosuke's proposal succeeds or not, he has already shown his huge influence within the ninja world.
Offending Mizunuki Ryosuke is a losing business no matter how you look at it.
Therefore, his sudden burst also made Hanzo of the Salamander and the Third Kazekage instantly restrain themselves.
The Third Kazekage and Hanzo of the Salamander looked at each other, seeing a hint of coldness in each other's eyes, but they also remained silent and stopped making trouble.
"I understand everyone's worries, but please give me some face."
As he spoke, Mizunuki Ryosuke scanned the Third Kazekage and Hanzo of the Salamander who had just caused trouble. Although his eyes were extremely calm, this look made the latter two feel a chill in their hearts.
"Lord Mizukage, please speak."
"You can make such a proposal, you must have a way to win in your hands."
"We are all ears."
At this time, the Third Raikage slowly interjected. Compared to the Third Kazekage who seemed a bit impulsive, this Raikage, who was full of dignified aura, was indeed much steadier.
Hearing the Third Raikage's words, Mizunuki Ryosuke nodded slightly.
"Please rest assured, I understand your concerns."
"But please also believe that I will not fight this kind of battle without a chance of winning."
"I will answer your questions one by one."
"I will answer the Kazekage's question first, where is the chance of winning this battle."
Mizunuki Ryosuke stared at the Third Kazekage. As he spoke, he nodded to Terumi Mei beside him. The other party instantly understood Ryosuke's meaning, directly put away the ninja world map in her hand, and then quietly stood prettily behind Ryosuke again.
Then, Mizunuki Ryosuke crossed his hands and placed them in front of his cheeks and said.
"Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles."
"To defeat our opponents, we must first know our own strength."
"Just as the Kazekage and Mr. Hanzo worried, whether it is Amegakure or Sunagakure, they have just been defeated by Konoha, and their strength has been damaged."
"But in my opinion, whether it is Amegakure or Sunagakure, the real core combat power has not been hit hard."
Mizunuki Ryosuke's words made the Third Kazekage and Hanzo of the Salamander frown at the same time, both feeling that Mizunuki Ryosuke's words were biased and avoiding the important points.
Sunagakure experienced two battles against Amegakure and Konoha, not only did the grassroots ninjas suffer heavy casualties, but the core puppet master troops were almost wiped out, and most importantly, they paid the price of the death of two quasi-Kage-level puppet masters!
Such battle damage cannot be said to be not heavy. And Amegakure is even worse; ninjas are less than one in ten, almost wiped out on the battlefield.
Such losses are called "not hit hard" in Mizunuki Ryosuke's mouth.
If this is not "hit hard," then what is called hit hard?
"Mizukage, are you making fun of Amegakure?"
"You watched the battle between Amegakure and Konoha from beginning to end, don't you know what the situation is?"
Hanzo of the Salamander said coldly, staring at Mizunuki Ryosuke, as if asking for an answer.
On the other side, although the Third Kazekage didn't speak, the meaning revealed by his expression was roughly the same, also waiting for Mizunuki Ryosuke's statement.
At the same time, through Hanzo of the Salamander's words, everyone in the room learned for the first time that Mizunuki Ryosuke had actually been watching the battle between Konoha and Amegakure.
Seeing this, Mizunuki Ryosuke not only had no sense of urgency, but smiled and said in a tone of disapproval.
"Haha."
"How did this happen?"
"It turns out that Mr. Hanzo is confused by being in the situation."
Mizunuki Ryosuke's words made Hanzo of the Salamander more and more confused. Because he had dealt with Mizunuki Ryosuke many times, he knew that Ryosuke's routines were bottomless.
For a time, Hanzo was indecisive in his heart, not knowing whether Mizunuki Ryosuke was playing tricks, so he didn't dare to answer.
"Confused by being in the situation?"
On the other side, the Third Kazekage, who was more stubborn, obviously didn't have this concern. He directly chose to ask.
"Hahahaha!!!!"
Seeing this inquiry, the smile on Mizunuki Ryosuke's face became even more uncontrollable.
Suddenly, the Third Kazekage's brow furrowed more and more.
Fortunately, Mizunuki Ryosuke's laughter was only for a moment, and he soon restrained his smile and spoke again.
"In the mere Amegakure, besides Hanzo of the Salamander, is there anyone else worthy of being called combat power?"
"Now I see that leader Hanzo has a strong aura and sufficient combat power. That is enough. In this situation, how can we talk about Amegakure's combat power being damaged?"
"The Demigod of the ninja world alone can resist the entire Amegakure village!"
Ryosuke's voice was still calm, but the meaning contained in his words was so arrogant that everyone in the room was silent.
Because in his implication, in the entire Amegakure, except for Hanzo of the Salamander, there was not a single ninja who could enter his eyes!
"Bang!!!!"
A violent slapping sound came directly, and the dull sound made everyone in the room clearly perceive the violent shaking of the table in front of them.
If the table in front of them wasn't forged from refined steel, it would probably have fallen apart.
No need to think, the person who made this sound was Hanzo of the Salamander!
I saw Hanzo had already stood up in anger, slapped the table in front of him without any avoidance, his eyes staring at Mizunuki Ryosuke, his angry eyes seemed to be really wanting to eat people.
And to this, Mizunuki Ryosuke still just carried a gentle smile, looking at Hanzo of the Salamander faintly, neither scolding nor intending to make up for what he just said.
The two looked at each other for a while, one was furious, the other was gentle and elegant.
It was like completely different water and fire.
Seeing this situation, although the Third Raikage didn't know why Mizunuki Ryosuke was suddenly so reckless—the combat power of Amegakure was indeed very average, but Mizunuki Ryosuke didn't need to publicly belittle Amegakure in front of Hanzo of the Salamander.
He saw Ryosuke didn't speak again, so he could only attribute this to Mizunuki Ryosuke's occasional "youthful arrogance."
So, to avoid a cold scene, the Third Raikage prepared to speak to smooth things over.
But a strange thing happened, before the Third Raikage could speak, Hanzo of the Salamander on the other side actually took action again.
"Hmph!"
It's just that Hanzo's move was not the angry departure or drawing his sword that everyone imagined, but instead, after a cold snort, he sat back in his seat.
Seeing this, everyone including the Third Raikage was stunned.
Is this still the Hanzo of the Salamander they remember? People belittled Amegakure like this, and he can still sit still?
Recalling Hanzo of the Salamander's various behaviors of fighting against heaven, earth, and air since coming to the Land of Iron, everyone didn't know how to speak for a while.
; =
After all, this "Demigod of the Ninja World" had successively clashed with samurai general Mifune, Third Raikage Ai, and Third Kazekage Sandaime since coming to the Land of Iron.
And every time his attitude was extremely strong, without any intention of making concessions. ===== CHAPTER 1007 =====
