he originally thought that Mizunuki Ryosuke would put forward some high opinions, but he did not expect it to be such a way of drinking poison to quench thirst...\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Not so.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ryosuke smiled and shook his head, denying Mifune’s idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Without me and Tsunade, raising the price is indeed an act of killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"But now with the entry of the Hidden Mist and Konoha, everything is different.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mizunuki Ryosuke said lightly, making the expression on Mifune’s face more and more confused; he frowned and stared closely at Mizunuki Ryosuke, waiting for Ryosuke’s further explanation.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"General Mifune, have you ever heard a sentence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"It’s called 'different times, different situations'.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Now the ninja world is in turmoil, and against this background, weapons are in short supply, and price increases are inevitable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"And whether it is the Land of Fire or the Land of Water, as a great country, there is a natural contradiction with small countries, and it is destined to be unable to be in the same position as these small countries.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Tsunade and I raise the price in the auction, and the small countries will only aim their spears at me and Tsunade, not at the Land of Iron.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"And no one will think that the Land of Water and the Land of Fire, which are both great countries and have tense relationships, will collude in advance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Some small countries will even feel that 'auction' is the fairest form.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mizunuki Ryosuke said leisurely, but after hearing it, Mifune’s mood did not relax at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hearing Ryosuke’s words, Mifune did not veto it; as the planner of this auction plan, he naturally knew that everything Ryosuke said made sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If it were in ordinary times, if a great country was willing to be a \"trustee\" for him, he would be too happy to be happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But as Ryosuke said, different times, different situations; with the matter of the Land of Bird and the Land of Bug in front, at this moment, Mifune still thinking about raising the price would probably provoke public anger, and invite the attack of all small countries, making the Land of Iron’s \"neutral country\" signboard gray in the ninja world.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Looking at Mifune who said nothing, Mizunuki Ryosuke also knew the crux of the problem, so he didn't care too much, but continued to say unhurriedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"The problem returns to the starting point.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"That is how to handle the matter of the Land of Bird and the Land of Bug.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"On this point, someone must make concessions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"What if I say that the Hidden Mist is willing to give up the opportunity to purchase weapons this time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mizunuki Ryosuke said unhurriedly, but this time his words made Mifune’s face change greatly, and his face was full of disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Is Lord Mizukage joking?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mifune looked at Mizunuki Ryosuke on the opposite side in disbelief, his eyes full of surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After all, Mizunuki Ryosuke’s words and deeds at this moment are enough to be called \"self-contradictory\" in Mifune’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In the case of preconceived notions and not knowing Mizunuki Ryosuke’s purpose, Mifune made a major misjudgment, which led to Mifune’s inability to understand Ryosuke’s remarks and actions at this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In Mifune’s eyes, all the envoys of other countries who came to the Land of Iron at this juncture, count them one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The only thing they are for is one thing—that is, to expand armaments to guard against possible wars at any time.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Precisely because of this, Mifune did not even discuss with Kaguya Yuta, who was the Hidden Mist ambassador before, and directly concluded that the Hidden Mist ambassador was here to buy weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After all, apart from this, Mifune could not think of any reason for the Land of Water envoy to come to see him.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Afterwards, Ryosuke killed the envoys of the Land of Bird and the Land of Bug in public.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Land of Iron could have used this reason to \"sanction\" the Hidden Mist to calm the anxiety and doubts of all small countries and appease all small countries.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>With the strength of the Land of Iron, this sanction would naturally not be a means like \"blood for blood\" or \"military economic coercion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Land of Iron can only do one thing, that is, stop the sale of weapons to the Hidden Mist, as a \"punishment\" and \"sanction\" for the Hidden Mist killing people in public.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As long as the Land of Iron can take action, the small countries will have no objections.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After all, as long as the Land of Iron can prove that it has the ability and qualification to counter the great countries, and let the great countries abide by the \"rules\" of the Land of Iron, the small countries will naturally trust the ability of the Land of Iron again.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And for the Land of Iron itself, it naturally doesn't really want to sanction the Hidden Mist; Mifune only wants a reason to maintain the Land of Iron’s \"permanently neutral country\" signboard, and at the same time appease all small countries.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Achieve a \"Look, even a great country, killing people in the Land of Iron, has been punished, don't worry\" such an \"equal treatment\" effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mifune even thought about it before coming, in order not to offend the Hidden Mist, the Land of Iron can secretly sell a certain amount of weapons to the Hidden Mist later to meet the Hidden Mist’s weapon needs.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And the Hidden Mist is in the wrong, even a great country cannot forcibly find trouble with the Land of Iron because of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But who would have thought that Mizunuki Ryosuke’s \"debate on loyalty and righteousness\" directly blocked all of Mifune’s reasons, making the Hidden Mist occupy the position of \"great righteousness\" instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If you can't talk about it, there is naturally no such thing as \"sanction.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Land of Iron lost the reason and \"great righteousness\" to sanction the Hidden Mist; without great righteousness, how dare the Land of Iron provoke the Land of Water Hidden Mist, which has the status of \"Five Constants of the Ninja World\"?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Also because the Land of Iron cannot sanction the Hidden Mist, it cannot appease all small countries, which naturally leads to the dissatisfaction and doubts of the small countries.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mizunuki Ryosuke, as the Fourth Mizukage, wants to make a \"debate on loyalty and righteousness,\" nothing more than not wanting the interests of the Hidden Mist to be damaged.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And in the current Land of Iron, the only interest that the Hidden Mist needs is the qualification to buy weapons and expand armaments.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>So in Mifune’s view, Mizunuki Ryosuke’s previous purpose was to keep the Hidden Mist’s qualification to buy weapons this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And now, Mizunuki Ryosuke said again that the Hidden Mist can give up the opportunity to buy weapons this time and is willing to give the Land of Iron this reason to \"convince the public.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Isn't this self-contradictory?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>So at this moment, Mifune was also stunned on the spot, not knowing what medicine was sold in Mizunuki Ryosuke’s gourd.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mizunuki Ryosuke’s operation completely confused Mifune.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"This is not a joke.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"In the 'four-win' I mentioned.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"The win of the Land of Iron is that it will earn enough profit in the auction.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"The second is that the Hidden Mist will give up the qualification of the auction, so as to maintain the reputation of the 'neutral country' for the Land of Iron.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"In this way, the Land of Iron has gained benefits in both interest and politics.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mizunuki Ryosuke stared at Mifune in front of him, every word of which made Mifune think he was dreaming.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Afterwards, Ryosuke did not stop, and told all the ideas for the auction meeting next.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Including how to raise the price, how much the price increase should be, how to end it in the end, etc., all were said.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>His words not only stunned Mifune, but even Tsunade in Ryosuke’s arms thought Ryosuke was crazy.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Because according to what Mizunuki Ryosuke said, this wave is simply completely sacrificing the Hidden Mist and Konoha to fulfill the Land of Iron.\u003C\u002Fp>",1563,"2026-06-17T05:01:42.539Z","2026-06-17T09:00:23.248Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","5477bfe42df2a5014e62cbe9f704248816ca2c0a63820d9d9a2e5b4cf911a7f4","this-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-chapter-228","this-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-chapter-226",533,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-cover.jpg"]
