Chapter 282

Hearing Mizunuki Ryosuke's inquiry, Bee could not help but clench his fists; this history was almost the pain that Cloud ninja least wanted to mention.

"It was betrayal."

Bee said in a low voice, his expression turning incomparably gloomy.

The world knows that both the Second Hokage and the Second Raikage died at the hands of the two brothers, Gold and Silver.

Let us set aside the Second Raikage for now; the original work contains no description of the Second Raikage's combat power.

However, judging from the combat power displayed by the Gold and Silver brothers after being resurrected by Reanimation, their strength was clearly far from the level required to kill Senju Tobirama head-on.

Let's look at what the original work says about Senju Tobirama.

During the First Shinobi World War, Senju Tobirama almost single-handedly overturned the four great ninja villages one by one.

What kind of combat power is this?

Even if he couldn't compare to Madara and Hashirama, Senju Tobirama, with his numerous forbidden techniques, was undoubtedly the ceiling of combat power in that era.

Of course, you could say that without knowing the information about the Six Paths Tools in the hands of the Gold and Silver brothers, those tools possessed the ability to threaten Senju Tobirama.

But don't forget, the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama might not have known, but how could the Second Raikage not know the effects of the Six Paths Tools in the hands of the Gold and Silver brothers?

With unknown intelligence, the Six Paths Tools might catch someone off guard, but once the weakness was found, even Darui, whose strength was far inferior to Senju Tobirama's, could easily finish off the Gold and Silver brothers, let alone the master of forbidden techniques, Senju Tobirama.

And the Gold and Silver brothers' half-baked Nine-Tails mode—those who know, know—was nothing more than a toy for Tobirama.

In their Tailed Beast mode, the greatest trump card the two possessed was merely the Tailed Beast Bomb.

And the performance of the Flying Thunder God in the original work can be said to be a perfect counter to the Tailed Beast Bomb.

Without the threat of the Tailed Beast Bomb, the Gold and Silver brothers' Tailed Beast mode had nothing worth praising.

Therefore, there is only one reason why the Gold and Silver brothers could finish off Senju Tobirama: they played dirty.

After all, no matter how strong Senju Tobirama was, he was still a human, and far from reaching an inhuman level.

If a person is killed, they will die; this is a law no one can escape.

"Whether it was betrayal or poison."

"Actually, these can all be summarized in one word."

"And that is 'cunning'."

"Facts prove that even when strength is insufficient, using cunning tactics in war can often achieve extraordinary results."

"The Gold and Silver brothers, using a 'cunning scheme' that no one could have imagined, actually pulled off something unimaginable in one fell swoop."

Mizunuki Ryosuke stared into Bee's eyes and spoke slowly and unhurriedly; a cold aura made Bee feel a slight chill in his heart.

So-called war means using any means necessary.

No one will talk to you about benevolence and morality on the battlefield.

Bee knew clearly that everything Mizunuki Ryosuke said was correct.

Even if the Gold and Silver brothers were notorious, despicable villains in the ninja world, objectively speaking, their strategy indeed achieved unimaginable results.

"War is the way of deception."

"Just as no one would have thought that the Gold and Silver brothers would go to assassinate the Second Raikage and the Second Hokage."

"Who could have imagined that the Fourth Mizukage of the Mist would suddenly air-drop onto the battlefield of the Cloud and the Rock?"

Speaking of this, a profound light flashed in Mizunuki Ryosuke's eyes.

Opposite him, Bee had already been rendered speechless by Ryosuke's words.

"Hoo."

"I have learned much."

Finally, Bee let out a long sigh and slowly spat out these three words, his heart already stirred into a stormy sea.

A Kage is one who bears the weight of the village.

And the man before him was worthy of the name Mizukage.

In his short time in the Mist, Bee had already witnessed too many miracles.

Whether it was conviction, will, ability, or methods—

The man before him could be called flawless. Bee secretly made a resolution in his heart: in the future, as long as Mizunuki Ryosuke existed in the Mist, they must never easily become his enemy.

"Finally."

"I will tell you the most important point, and the most critical one for someone in a high position."

"War is the way of deception; this is indeed true."

"But blindly relying on cunning tactics and over-relying on taking risks will inevitably lead to self-destruction."

"I don't think I need to say much about the ending of the Gold and Silver brothers."

Mizunuki Ryosuke looked at Bee with an indifferent gaze, a hint of deep meaning flowing in the depths of his eyes.

After killing the Second Raikage and the Second Hokage by means of a sneak attack, the Gold and Silver brothers, lacking hard power, still died at the hands of the Third Raikage who succeeded them.

"Over-relying on taking risks can only be called the way of deception."

"Using both righteousness and deception is the royal way."

"What I want to tell you is, if you want to use the way of deception,"

"It does not rely on fighting with your life, but on—"

"Strength!"

As his voice fell, a massive amount of chakra, like a tsunami, erupted from Mizunuki Ryosuke's body, and the entire room was suddenly filled with gusts of wind.

The powerful pressure forced Bee to subconsciously raise his hands to cover his eyes.

At this moment, Mizunuki Ryosuke had established a mountain in the depths of Bee's heart that could never be surpassed.

With Bee, who possessed quasi-Kage strength, being like this, there was no need to mention Troy and Samui on the side.

Under Ryosuke's pressure, Troy retreated five steps before barely stabilizing his figure.

And Samui on the other side was so weak in the legs that she collapsed to the ground.

In the eyes of the two, Mizunuki Ryosuke at this second was—a god!

On the back of the Ice Dragon King, Bee looked at Mizunuki Ryosuke sitting on the dragon's head, a trace of awe flashing in his eyes.

For some reason, Bee had a vague feeling in his heart.

As long as this man existed, the ninja world would sooner or later be dominated by him.

"Fortunately, the Cloud chose to form an alliance with the Mist."

Suddenly, a trace of relief flashed in Bee's heart, and at the same time, he silently mourned for the Rock for three seconds.

Five hours had passed since leaving the Mist, and thanks to the terrifying speed of the Ice Dragon King, Mizunuki Ryosuke's party had already flown over the vast ocean between the Land of Water and the ninja world.

At a normal speed, even if a ninja went full throttle, it would take at least two weeks to travel from the Land of Lightning to the Land of Water.

And now, at the speed of the Ice Dragon King, it would only take one day to reach the Land of Lightning from the Land of Water.

Mizunuki Ryosuke looked down from the top of the Ice Dragon King and could already vaguely see a piece of land of considerable size appearing in the vast ocean ahead.

This land was located in the sea between the Land of Iron, the Land of Water, and the Land of Lightning; it was the country famous in the ninja world for tourism and peace—the Land of Hot Water.

And this country was currently under the control of Konoha.

Looking at the land beneath his feet, a trace of imperceptible heat flashed in Mizunuki Ryosuke's eyes.

In the Mist, Samui and Lian were constantly "running wild" in the shopping street of the Mist Village, which made the surrounding merchants miserable.

But the two of them were still enjoying it.

Since being abandoned in the Mist by her teammates, Samui seemed to have accepted her fate and started playing wildly with Lian.

But suddenly, Samui felt a bit melancholy.

Lian, who was beside Samui, keenly sensed the change in her, so she asked softly.

"What's wrong, Samui? Are you unhappy?"

Mizunuki Lian asked with a worried look.

To this, Samui first shook her head, but in the end, she said slowly with an uncertain expression.

"It's nothing."

"I just want to know—"

"What kind of person is the Fourth Mizukage, really?"

Because Samui could never forget the domineering presence and pressure Mizunuki Ryosuke had brought in the Mizukage's office just moments ago.

At first, when she met Mizunuki Ryosuke, Samui just felt that the Fourth Mizukage was easy to talk to, and his appearance was elegant and handsome, which made her heart flutter slightly.

Later, after experiencing a series of events, Samui felt that this Fourth Mizukage had a bit of childish willfulness and spontaneity.

But after experiencing what just happened, Samui realized.

Beneath Mizunuki Ryosuke's handsome exterior lay a domineering spirit capable of suppressing the entire ninja world!
