Chapter 269

But what he didn't expect was that in the end, he still couldn't escape the "True Fragrance" law.

All along, he had adhered to the principle that "a tall tree catches the wind," trying to avoid danger in the Ninja World by escaping and hiding.

And he regarded this approach as his own unique caution.

But at this moment, Ryosuke discovered that he was wrong before.

Of course, what was wrong was not "caution."

But the way of dealing with problems.

Caution is not wrong, and hiding one's light is not wrong.

What Ryosuke shouldn't have done was naively think that as long as he played the role of "ordinary," he could safely start the "Ninja World Lying Flat" mode.

Many things in the world are just like this, unreasonable.

For example, you don't look for trouble, but trouble will take the initiative to find you.

Just like in the beginning, Ryosuke was clearly just playing an ordinary Kirigakure Chunin, but he still encountered an inexplicable Rock Ninja Jonin, and later even incurred the revenge of the elite Jonin of the Explosion Corps, Gari.

Even because of this, Ryosuke was involved in the conspiracy of the Kirigakure high-level officials.

You see, from beginning to end, Ryosuke's hiding had no flaws, and he never actively caused trouble, but trouble still came to his door.

Such a situation made Ryosuke suddenly think of a Hong Kong film he had seen in his previous life.

The protagonist in the film hides in a certain society, but he only wants to make money.

But under the manipulation of fate, the protagonist who only wants to make money still cannot escape the fate of the society and is forced to sit in the position of the leader.

How similar is this to Ryosuke's current situation?

At the moment he made up his mind to compete for the Mizukage position in the Mizukage Building, he understood everything.

"Caution" is not wrong, and Ryosuke will always maintain his "cautious" style in the future.

He doesn't want to provoke trouble, but he doesn't want to be found by trouble either.

What to do?

The answer is very simple, and that is to use absolute control to exclude all troubles in advance.

Use all resources, strive to become stronger, and nip all dangers and troubles in the cradle!

One trump card is not enough, then arrange another trump card.

Two trump cards are not enough, then prepare ten!

With the status of Mizukage, Ryosuke can completely control Kirigakure Village in his hands, build an invincible Kirigakure Village, and then use Kirigakure as a springboard to influence the entire Ninja World!

At that time, anyone in the world who dares to show their claws to him, he will make them disappear from the Ninja World silently.

This is the true "caution."

Yes, the highest realm of caution is "invincible in the world."

And wanting to be invincible in the world is also very simple, and that is to kill all the enemies in the world.

Look, simple, right.

After sorting out his thoughts, Ryosuke smiled satisfiedly at the moon, and his thoughts in his heart became much clearer.

Although the road ahead is still long, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

Facing the devastated Kirigakure Village, Ryosuke still needs some time to let Kirigakure stand up again.

Without thinking more, Mizunuki Ryosuke closed his eyes and entered dreamland.

Time flies, days and months pass like a shuttle.

Since Mizunuki Ryosuke succeeded as Mizukage, two years have passed in a flash.

In these two years, the village has flourished in Ryosuke's hands, recovering the losses caused by Hozuki Suigetsu's rebellion.

At the same time, the situation in the Ninja World has become more and more treacherous in the past two years.

Inside some small countries, the voices of dissatisfaction with the great powers are becoming stronger and stronger, and among them, the first to bear the brunt is Konoha Village in the Land of Fire.

And there are quite a few historical legacy problems here.

During the First Ninja World War, after the war broke out between the great powers, they coincidentally chose the small countries adjacent to the two great powers as the battlefield.

Some small countries are even more unlucky, such as the Land of Rain.

Because of the geographical location of the Land of Rain, it happens to be between the Land of Fire, the Land of Wind, and the Land of Earth.

Sandwiched between three great powers, the Land of Rain was defaulted by the three great powers as a buffer zone, which is the battlefield after the conflict breaks out.

War broke out, the three great powers were fine, but the entire Land of Rain was directly submerged by the flames of war.

And after the war, the Land of Fire, as the victor, did not let go of this pitiful country, wantonly engaging in looting on the land of the Land of Rain.

The resources, population, and missions of the Land of Rain all flowed to the three neighboring great powers, becoming the nourishment for the great powers.

Such examples are everywhere in the Ninja World, and it is not just the Land of Rain.

There are also the Land of Birds between the Land of Earth and the Land of Wind, the Land of Frost between the Land of Lightning and the Land of Earth, etc.

These small countries are also deeply poisoned by the neighboring great powers.

Among them, the Land of Water is independent on the sea, and has not been infected with hatred with small countries.

And at this moment, Ryosuke is reading an intelligence from the Land of Rain in the office.

Recently, for some reason, the ninjas of the Rain Ninja Village have begun to store strategic materials in large quantities.

Even once, merchants from the Land of Rain ran to the Land of Water to purchase food, weapons, and other supplies on the land of the Land of Water.

These messages naturally reached the ears of Mizunuki Ryosuke, who is the Mizukage.

Almost without thinking, Ryosuke already understood what this meant behind the scenes.

The sudden material reserves of the Land of Rain, as well as the Rain Ninja leader Hanzo of the Salamander, whose reputation in the Ninja World has become increasingly loud in recent years.

Almost all predicted to Ryosuke the occurrence of a major event in the Ninja World.

That is—the Second Ninja World War!

In the original work, the fuse of the Second Ninja World War was precisely because of the Land of Rain's dissatisfaction with the three neighboring great powers.

Coupled with the fact that the Land of Rain produced a powerful Kage-level powerhouse, Hanzo of the Salamander.

Therefore, the Land of Rain actually had the confidence to openly challenge the status of the three great powers.

Because of this, one wave stirred up a thousand waves, and the great powers that had long been harboring ulterior motives began to play games because of this, which in turn stirred up the tide of the Second Ninja World War.

It is worth mentioning that during the period of the Second Ninja World War, the Land of Water was invisible throughout and did not get involved.

Although the specific reason was not mentioned in the original work, one knows one's own affairs.

In fact, ever since the First Ninja World War, Kirigakure has been in a state of internal friction.

Under the governance of the Third Mizukage for many years, the strength is still far from the peak before the First War.

At this time, no matter who is in power in Kirigakure, they will naturally choose to protect themselves; after all, the essence of this war is the contradiction between the great powers that forcibly occupy the resources of small countries and the small countries that cannot bear the burden.

And it has nothing to do with the Land of Water itself, so why get involved? ===== CHAPTER 271 =====
