Chapter 1009

Regarding this, Mizunuki Ryosuke naturally had long since anticipated it; he merely nodded faintly and asked in return.

"Why do you think it is impossible, Leader Hanzo?"

Faced with Mizunuki Ryosuke's counter-question, Hanzo still did not show the slightest hesitation or trepidation; instead, he spoke directly.

"Impossible is impossible."

"I think we should be the ones asking you that. Now, you should be the one to explain to us why you think the Rock Ninja would help you deal with Konoha."

Sansho-uo Hanzo's voice did not change in the slightest, and his face held only a cold indifference; the skepticism in his expression made no attempt at concealment.

Sansho-uo Hanzo's skepticism still did not cause Mizunuki Ryosuke's expression to change; he merely smiled lightly, shook his head, and then asked everyone present.

"Naturally, that is the case."

"Reason is one aspect, but most importantly, the Rock Village recently suffered devastating losses in the war."

"I cannot understand what reason the Rock Village would have to send troops to attack Konoha."

This time, the one who answered Mizunuki Ryosuke was not Sansho-uo Hanzo, but the Third Kazekage from the side.

Unlike Hanzo's attitude, the Third Kazekage's tone was much gentler, but the implication in his words still indicated that he did not seem to approve of Ryosuke's statement.

"From a logical standpoint, the Mist and Cloud were once enemies with the Rock."

"And analyzing it from other aspects, the Rock suffered devastating losses previously, and right now should be the time for them to lick their wounds."

"It seems everyone thinks this way, right?"

Hearing the Third Kazekage's words, Mizunuki Ryosuke asked again; although it was a question, his tone was very certain.

These words undoubtedly expressed the inner thoughts of everyone present, so naturally, no one refuted him.

Seeing everyone tacitly agree, Mizunuki Ryosuke just shook his head slowly and then spoke.

"Everyone's thoughts can only be said to be half right."

"Logically speaking, the Rock Village indeed would not attack Konoha; instead, they would only possibly cause trouble for us when we deal with Konoha."

"But in terms of interests, the Rock Village indeed has an extremely sufficient reason to attack Konoha."

As soon as Mizunuki Ryosuke said this, everyone was dumbfounded.

The group looked at each other, none of them knowing what medicine Mizunuki Ryosuke was selling in his gourd.
