One must know that actively participating in a war and being passively dragged into a war are two completely different things.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And today’s meeting here, as well as the Hidden Mist’s choice to intervene in the ninja world war, will inevitably be recorded in history.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Personally participating in such a major event made Mizunuki Hikohiko somewhat excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>For the others, as Ryosuke’s trusted heavy ministers and backbone, they had more or less sensed a hint of Ryosuke’s thoughts by relying on their intuition and official positions.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I support the Fourth Mizukage’s decision.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hozuki Mangetsu was the first to express his stance, a sharp glint bursting in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This former number one genius of the Hidden Mist has now converted all his talent into strength. Now, he not only longs to make a name for himself in the ninja world but also urgently wants to prove his ability and assist Mizunuki Ryosuke in taking the Hidden Mist to new heights.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And war is undoubtedly a shortcut to accelerate development.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Coupled with his absolute trust in the Fourth Mizukage, Mizunuki Ryosuke, Hozuki Mangetsu held a positive attitude toward participating in this ninja world war.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I agree as well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Seconded.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Following that, Hoshigaki Kisame and Kaguya Yuta both expressed their stance.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As two of Mizunuki Ryosuke’s trusted generals, they naturally supported Ryosuke’s arrangements with both hands and feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And Kuroshima Morita and Mizunuki Hikohiko, as the old subordinates under Ryosuke, naturally followed Ryosuke’s footsteps and chose to agree.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Finally, as a three-dynasty veteran of the Hidden Mist Village, the Great Elder Tian Tian Yuanshi looked at the high-spirited Mizunuki Ryosuke before him, a deep glint flashing in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>For two years, he had watched with his own eyes as Mizunuki Ryosuke brought the village, which was originally on the verge of crisis, back onto the right track, and it now had a prosperous trend.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Regarding the decision to support Ryosuke’s succession as Mizukage back then, Tian Tian Yuanshi felt incredibly fortunate at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He believed that Mizunuki Ryosuke had sufficient ability to lead the Hidden Mist to ultimate victory in this change of situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Agreed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>With Tian Tian Yuanshi’s response, the entire high-level leadership of the Hidden Mist passed the resolution to participate in the war by a unanimous vote.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seeing this, Mizunuki Ryosuke smiled lightly. To pacify the outside, one must first settle the inside; at such a time, unifying the internal stance first is incredibly important.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>With the support rate Mizunuki Ryosuke currently has within the Hidden Mist, it is likely unprecedented for any Mizukage in history. Such control is something the previous generation’s Mizukage, Mizunuki Taki, would not have dared to imagine.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Great Elder, what is the village’s current material reserve?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"And how is the operating status of the material factories?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mizunuki Ryosuke asked Tian Tian Yuanshi on the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Tian Tian Yuanshi nodded and then began to slowly speak about the Hidden Mist Village’s current material reserves.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The massive reserves of various war materials that Tian Tian Yuanshi spoke of left several people at the table stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"What is going on?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"When did the village’s material reserves become so abundant?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Several people looked at each other, not knowing when the village had hoarded such a massive amount of war materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Regarding this, Ryosuke only revealed a mysterious smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ever since Ryosuke succeeded to the position, he had set about establishing a large number of factories around the Hidden Mist to produce explosive tags, ninja tools, medical supplies, and other strategic materials, even sparing no effort to pour all of the Hidden Mist’s funds into them.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Not only did he produce them himself, but Ryosuke also spent money to buy a large amount of grain and medical supplies from other countries.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Although these materials are important, their prices during peacetime and after the outbreak of war are completely different.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Once the war begins, these materials will rise to an astronomical price.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In the past two years, the funds in the Hidden Mist’s treasury have become empty, all converted into various types of war reserves.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And now that the ninja world is on the verge of a great war, these materials that the Hidden Mist hoarded in advance will instantly skyrocket in value.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It is foreseeable that just by selling materials during the war, this wave alone will be enough for the Hidden Mist to make a fortune.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Having such a massive reserve of war materials also gave everyone much more confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I conclude that this great war in the ninja world will be no less than the ninja world war that broke out more than a decade ago.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"The scale might even be greater.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I divide this war into three stages. In different stages, we will adopt different strategies to reap benefits for the Hidden Mist.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mizunuki Ryosuke said unhurriedly, a profound light flickering in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"The first stage, I call it the 'warming-up stage' of the war.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"In this stage, the major ninja villages will gradually participate in the war.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"And the scale of the war will continue to expand, but the countries participating in the war will still maintain a certain degree of restraint.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"In this stage, the Hidden Mist will not participate in the war; we only need to sell materials and weapons to the countries caught in the war.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"For this part, I have already established cooperation with the Third Kazekage of the Sand ninja and the leader of the Rain ninja, Hanzo of the Salamander.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mizunuki Ryosuke told everyone about his plan, and his words also caused a flash of admiration in Tian Tian Yuanshi’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Although he believed in Ryosuke, he originally had a faint worry in his heart, fearing that the too-young Ryosuke might be a bit too eager for success.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But seeing Ryosuke’s arrangements were so seasoned, Tian Tian Yuanshi had to be convinced.\u003C\u002Fp>",1320,"2026-06-17T05:01:42.539Z","2026-06-17T09:00:23.248Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","57b2988d1c6922a073698f5e54c267eba5b140e378aaef04163aa40e8b8bc487","this-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-chapter-206","this-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-chapter-204",533,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-cover.jpg"]
