Chapter 1013

It would have been better if Sansho-uo Hanzo hadn't said anything, but the more everyone thought about it after he said it, the more uncomfortable they felt.

What is this?

So after talking for a long time, you only thought about letting everyone go and risk their lives, while you don't mention a word about your own affairs?

Everyone looked at Mizunuki Ryosuke's gentle and scholarly face, their eyes filled with a look of astonishment.

Their gazes seemed to be saying: "Well, Mizunuki Ryosuke, I didn't expect that you, a guy who looks thick-browed and big-eyed, would be so unprincipled in doing things."

Even in the Third Raikage's eyes, a hint of doubt flashed; on such an important matter, he felt that Mizunuki Ryosuke should not be playing word games here regardless of the occasion.

Because the matter is of great importance, such insignificant word games could not deceive everyone.

Could it be an oversight, and he forgot to mention it?

Not mentioning the doubts in everyone's hearts, Mizunuki Ryosuke still chose to face Sansho-uo Hanzo's skepticism with a smile.

Looking at Mizunuki Ryosuke's steady-as-a-mountain expression, everyone felt more and more that it must be that Mizunuki Ryosuke forgot to mention the Mist.

But unexpectedly, Mizunuki Ryosuke's next words stunned everyone on the spot.

"Regarding this matter, I naturally have an explanation."

"The Mist indeed will not participate in the attack on Konoha; during this period, the Mist has other tasks."

Mizunuki Ryosuke's voice was still calm, but it was full of the implication of saying something shocking.

In an instant, the secret room with more than a dozen people became somewhat boiling.

Whether it was Mifune, the samurai of the neutral country, or the Raikage side that leaned towards Mizunuki Ryosuke, or the wavering Kazekage side, or Sansho-uo Hanzo, who had always been tough, everyone looked at Mizunuki Ryosuke with shocked eyes.

Following this were continuous questioning voices.

"What did you say?"

A cold light of solemnity flashed in Sansho-uo Hanzo's eyes, and he questioned Mizunuki Ryosuke in an exasperated tone.

Not only that, in his shock and anger, he even stood up directly, his whole body radiating a suppressed aura, as if he would explode on the spot if Mizunuki Ryosuke's answer could not satisfy him.

Not only Sansho-uo Hanzo, but the Third Kazekage on the side could no longer sit still.

Thanks to the iron sand trade led by Mizunuki Ryosuke, the Third Kazekage had always treated Ryosuke with respect.

But at this moment, no matter how much he respected Mizunuki Ryosuke, if Mizunuki Ryosuke could not give an account for the previous statement, he probably would not be able to accept the current situation.
