Chapter 1008: ...both in reason and emotion

In the ninja world, most of the forces that can threaten Konoha are gathered here at this moment.

Except for everyone in the room, only Iwagakure among the Five Great Nations has not arrived.

And when it comes to Iwagakure, everyone subconsciously excludes Iwagakure in their hearts; they all think that the force Mizunuki Ryosuke mentioned cannot be Iwagakure.

Because no matter how everyone in the room thinks, they can't figure out any reason for Iwagakure to fight against Konoha.

After all, not long ago, Iwagakure was just defeated by Mizunuki Ryosuke, not to mention hurting its foundation, and now it has even formed a grudge with Kumogakure and Kirigakure.

Both in reason and emotion, it is impossible for Iwagakure to help Mizunuki Ryosuke deal with Konoha at this time.

Even if this huge "Anti-Fire Alliance" really decides to take action against Konoha, it would be good if Iwagakure doesn't come to cause trouble and stand on that side, let alone want to use Iwagakure as combat power to contain Konoha.

If it's not Iwagakure, then who will it be?

No matter how everyone racked their brains, they couldn't think of any force that could contain Konoha.

It wouldn't be the Underground Exchange, would it?

But everyone just thought about it and quickly understood the absurdity of it.

The Underground Exchange itself represents the dark side of the ninja world, and its strength is indeed not weak, and there is no lack of some notorious Kage-level powerhouses hidden in it.

But these people have huge problems with their stance, and they lack constraints and are just a group of scattered soldiers.

At first glance, the paper strength is indeed good, but in fact, in the eyes of major ninja villages, they are just a mob and vulnerable.

Furthermore, everyone doesn't think that the Underground Exchange would have the courage to openly challenge Konoha, the hegemon of the ninja world.

Since it's not this, and it's not that, who is it?

For a time, everyone thought until their heads broke and couldn't figure it out, and could only gather their gazes on Mizunuki Ryosuke again, expecting him to reveal the answer.

Regarding everyone's wild guesses, Mizunuki Ryosuke guessed one or two through everyone's expressions.

Seeing that everyone had placed their gazes on him, he simply stopped beating around the bush.

This is also Mizunuki Ryosuke officially displaying his layout before everyone's eyes.

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

Mizunuki Ryosuke said unhurriedly, his gentle and elegant face full of confidence.

But as soon as this was said, everyone was in an uproar.

Even the Third Raikage, who supported Mizunuki Ryosuke the most, had a look of surprise and disbelief in his eyes.

At this moment, the Third Raikage frowned directly.

Judging from the fact that no one from Iwagakure came to participate in this ninja world talk, one could roughly guess what Iwagakure's attitude toward Mizunuki Ryosuke is now.

Whether Mizunuki Ryosuke didn't invite Iwagakure, or he invited them and they didn't come, one can see the sinister relationship between the two sides from either angle.

The most critical thing is that the Third Raikage just experienced the tripartite talk between Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Kirigakure on the battlefield not long ago.

What happened at the talk is still fresh in the Third Raikage's mind. Not to mention anything else, just say one direct point.

At this very moment, Third Tsuchikage Onoki is still "visiting" Kirigakure.

Just because of this, the Third Raikage cannot imagine any reason for Iwagakure to help Mizunuki Ryosuke send troops to deal with Konoha.

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

If it weren't for the Mizukage's powerful prestige, I am afraid someone would have questioned whether he had gone crazy on the spot.

Even Pakura and Rasa behind the Third Kazekage looked at Mizunuki Ryosuke with suspicious eyes, full of doubt and uncertainty.

Among everyone, only Terumi Mei stared at Mizunuki Ryosuke's back with burning eyes, and the left eye exposed was full of trust without any discount.

Mizunuki Ryosuke naturally saw everyone's surprise and disbelief. To this, his gentle and elegant expression didn't change at all, only a piece of calmness.

Just then, someone finally raised an objection.

"That's impossible!"

A hoarse voice entered everyone's ears; this voice was full of toughness, without any hesitation.

The person who spoke was none other than Hanzo of the Salamander, who was alone.

Others were concerned about Mizunuki Ryosuke's face and didn't directly raise questions, but were brewing wording.

Only Hanzo of the Salamander, without any fear, chose to speak directly.
