Chapter 1010

"First point, you only thought that the Rock Village would stand on Konoha's side because of their hostile stance against the Mist and Cloud."

"But you overlooked one problem."

"Does the Rock Village at this moment really dare to offend us?"

Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Mizunuki Ryosuke explained unhurriedly.

Hearing this, not to mention the others, a flash of realization suddenly crossed the Third Raikage's eyes.

That's right, whether it is the current "Anti-Fire Alliance" or the Land of Fire's Konoha, in the eyes of the weakened Rock Village, both are existences that cannot be provoked.

Konoha is powerful, so the Rock Village naturally does not dare to provoke Konoha.

But likewise, how would the Rock Village dare to provoke them?

Therefore, once the current "Anti-Fire Alliance" decides to launch an attack on Konoha, how would the Rock Village easily stand on Konoha's side and offend this "Anti-Fire Alliance" which has many members and considerable strength?

"Therefore, to say nothing else, just considering it from this angle, even if the Rock Village hates the Mist and Cloud no matter how much."

"In the end, its stance can only be neutral."

Mizunuki Ryosuke continued to speak, and the Third Kazekage and Sansho-uo Hanzo, whose reactions were a step slower, also followed closely behind to understand the logic within.

"But even if the Rock Village won't stand on Konoha's side, then according to your theory, the Rock Village would at most just remain neutral."

"How would they help us deal with Konoha?"

The Third Kazekage asked again; although Mizunuki Ryosuke's words could serve as a certain explanation, they still could not explain why the Rock Village would, as he said, move against Konoha and contain Konoha's combat power.

"Rest assured, I haven't finished speaking yet."

"You all only know the one, but not the two."

Mizunuki Ryosuke's tone paused slightly, shifting his gaze to Bee, who stood behind the Third Raikage like a black iron tower.

Mizunuki Ryosuke's gaze swept past, his eyes seemingly carrying some unknown deep meaning.

"Everyone might not know that in the recent war between the Cloud and the Rock."

"The Rock's enemies were not just the Cloud and the Mist; the reason the Cloud was able to win this war is that 'Konoha' contributed significantly."

Mizunuki Ryosuke's words caused a flash of surprise to cross the eyes of the other few; they did not expect Mizunuki Ryosuke to suddenly drop such a bombshell.

Especially Bee, who was standing behind the Third Raikage, instantly understood the deep meaning in Mizunuki Ryosuke's eyes just now.

As someone who experienced the entire Frost Country incident, Bee was of course very clear about what "Konoha" had done to the Rock.

"What do you mean by that?"

Seeing this, Sansho-uo Hanzo could no longer suppress the doubt in his heart; a glint flashed in his eyes as he asked Mizunuki Ryosuke directly.

"In the war between the Cloud and the Rock, the battlefield was located in the Land of Moon at the doorstep of the Land of Lightning."

"Therefore, the Rock's supplies had an extremely long transport route and had to pass through several small countries along the way."

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

"According to my intelligence, the one who took action should be Danzo, the leader of Konoha's Root organization."

Mizunuki Ryosuke said righteously, his face full of seriousness and earnestness, as if the words in his mouth were iron-cast facts, making one feel an inexplicable sense of conviction upon seeing it.

Shifting the blame to Danzo had already become an almost instinctive action for Mizunuki Ryosuke.

After all, for such a useful scapegoat as Danzo, not using him would simply be a disservice to Danzo's title as the "Darkness of the Ninja World."

Of course, there were still people at the table who were clear about the lack of substance in Mizunuki Ryosuke's words, especially Bee on the side, in whose eyes a slightly strange expression appeared.

"Is this true?"

Sansho-uo Hanzo asked again, this time his eyes carrying a somewhat unpredictable light.

"Of course."

"I think the Cloud side should also be clear about this matter."

Mizunuki Ryosuke nodded with a calm expression, his face wearing a look of sincerity.

Seeing this, how could Bee, who had previously received a "reminder" from Mizunuki Ryosuke's eyes, not understand? So he immediately came out to endorse Mizunuki Ryosuke.

"I can testify to this matter; it is indeed true."

At once, Bee's voice reached everyone's ears, causing everyone's gaze to focus on his face.

Looking at the rugged cheeks of Bee, which were almost identical to the Third Raikage's, everyone quickly withdrew their gaze.

They understood in their hearts that with Bee's status as the "Crown Prince of the Cloud," it was impossible for him to lie on such an occasion.

With Bee's endorsement, now almost everyone knew that there was such a grudge between the Rock and Konoha.

·· ····Seeking flowers··· ····

Now, everyone also slightly believed that perhaps the Rock Village would really move against Konoha.

But just relying on this was not enough; after all, hatred is hatred, and without sufficient interests as a driver, they were still unwilling to believe that the Rock Village would take the initiative to attack Konoha.

And soon, Mizunuki Ryosuke revealed the answer to everyone.

"Mr. Shibu, this time, why don't you explain the situation to everyone."

Saying this, Mizunuki Ryosuke cast his gaze onto Shibu.

At once, Shibu, who was sitting on the seat marked "Takigakure," trembled subconsciously; he first looked around cautiously.

When he saw the eyes of powerful figures like Sansho-uo Hanzo and the Third Raikage gathering, the pressure in Shibu's heart suddenly arose.

These few were all top-tier ruthless people; right now, he was in an unfamiliar place, and added to the fact that the Takigakure had suffered a huge change, he could not afford to offend these big shots.

And as for Shibu, this Takigakure leader who had been transparent from the beginning, Hanzo and the others had never paid much attention to him.

Seeing Mizunuki Ryosuke speak, the few were suddenly full of curiosity; they could not imagine what critical situation would require this Takigakure leader, who looked very weak, to explain.

At once, Shibu withdrew his secretly observing gaze, his eyes overlapping with Mizunuki Ryosuke's.

Even though he was not prominent at the table, placed in the Ninja World, Shibu could also be considered a powerful figure; he still possessed the necessary ability to observe expressions.

So almost instantly, Shibu understood what Mizunuki Ryosuke wanted him to say.

So, Shibu swallowed a mouthful of saliva and then slowly began to narrate.

"The matter probably has to start from more than half a month ago..."

Soon, following Shibu's narration, everyone gradually learned the full situation of the Rock's invasion of Takigakure.

Through Shibu's narration, the Third Kazekage, who did not know about this intelligence, learned of this situation.

And Mifune, the General of the Land of Iron, and the Third Raikage, who were closer to the Land of Waterfall and knew of the Rock's movements, learned more inside information through Shibu's narration.

After speaking to a certain extent, Shibu's words suddenly came to an abrupt end.
