The camp was filled with busy Rock Hidden ninjas.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Most of these Rock Hidden ninjas were those with sensory specialties, who could transmit information through secret techniques to the minds of Rock Hidden ninjas on the position within a certain range.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Every order from Onoki was transmitted through the Rock Hidden ninjas here.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This place could completely be called the brain of the thirty-thousand-strong Rock Hidden force.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Suddenly, the somber-faced Kitsuchi walked in from outside the tent and slowly came to Onoki’s side, whispering something in his ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hearing this, Onoki’s originally calm face gradually became extremely gloomy, and his complexion became increasingly ugly, until finally, Onoki’s entire body exuded an aura that made people feel deeply oppressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Instantly, Onoki ignored everyone, turned and left, arriving at another side tent next to the main camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>To this, Kitsuchi just followed behind Onoki without a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As soon as he entered the tent, Onoki exploded.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Bang!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He walked to the stone table placed in the tent and slammed his fist onto the rock-made table.

At this moment, the Third Tsuchikage Onoki was like a furious lion, seemingly ready to devour someone.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Facing Onoki’s inquiry, Kitsuchi clearly couldn't answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Because he, who was also on the front lines, was clearly just as confused by this situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The entire logistics force losing contact—such a thing could be called a major accident in war!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The importance of the logistics force to Rock Hidden went without saying. According to Onoki’s requirements, the leader of the logistics force, Bunya, had to report to the Rock Hidden headquarters through special channels every day.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Even in some emergencies, Rock Hidden could contact the logistics transport force thousands of miles away through some means.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And now, Kitsuchi told him that the entire logistics force had lost contact!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>How could this not make Onoki angry?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The leader of the logistics force, Bunya, couldn't possibly be unaware of the importance of information exchange, so there was only one explanation for this situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>That was—the logistics force had met with trouble!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Although the matter was of great importance, the composure of a Tsuchikage forced Onoki to calm himself down first.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"What about the eastern front troops?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Have any Cloud Hidden troops broken through the eastern defense line recently and entered the Land of Fields?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Onoki turned to ask Kitsuchi, the coldness in his eyes making even Kitsuchi, the son of the Tsuchikage, feel a bit of trepidation.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The current war between Rock Hidden and Cloud Hidden was mainly concentrated on the eastern and western coastlines of the Land of Moon, as well as the land where they bordered each other directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The land in front was undoubtedly the biggest battlefield for both sides, but the coastlines on the east and west were also battlefields for both sides to contend with.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If Cloud Hidden wanted to sneak attack Rock Hidden’s logistics supplies, they would have to break through the eastern battlefield to reach the Land of Fields and the Land of Frost, entering Rock Hidden’s logistics supply route.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"No, the battlefield on the eastern front is very calm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"The battle reports received only mention encounters with small groups of Cloud Hidden ninjas; there are no other situations.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Kitsuchi reported hurriedly to Onoki. Hearing this, Onoki’s eyes were filled with depth.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He closed his eyes and pondered deeply in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Rock Hidden’s logistics force possessed at least a thousand combat-capable Rock Hidden ninjas, among whom were the elite Jonin Bunya and a backbone force composed of dozens of Jonin...\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Wanting to wipe out this thousand-man transport force without letting a single piece of news leak out undoubtedly required a certain level of difficulty.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Even if this combat power was divided into six parts, wanting to eat each transport team individually would require at least three times the force.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Or, at least one \"Kage\"-level powerhouse would need to take action to have the confidence to wipe out a transport team without leaving any survivors.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Kage-level\" powerhouses didn't need much consideration.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Taking Rock Hidden itself as an example, the entire Rock Hidden, including him, the Tsuchikage, only had a total of four Kage-level (quasi-Kage) powerhouses.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Such a result was already enough to put Rock Hidden at the pinnacle of the ninja world.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In terms of the number of Kage-level powerhouses, Onoki believed that only Leaf might have more than Rock Hidden.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Sending six Kage-level powerhouses to wipe out the entire logistics force—such a plot only existed in dreams; Onoki basically didn't consider it at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In his heart, he was more inclined to believe that one or two Kage-level powerhouses led the team to complete the encirclement and suppression of Rock Hidden’s logistics force.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Even so, it would require at least a two-thousand-man ninja force.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As for why Onoki was so certain that no one had used the \"defeat one by one\" method, it was because the leader of the transport force, Bunya, was an extremely excellent sensory ninja, so the six transport teams had close contact with each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Once contact was lost for a long time, the other transport teams would definitely notice.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Thus, the possibility of \"defeating one by one\" did not exist.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>That is to say, calculating by force alone, the enemy would have to assemble at least three thousand troops, have combat power equal to Rock Hidden, and launch attacks on all six transport teams simultaneously to completely wipe out this logistics force without letting any news leak out.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>What kind of ninjas could maintain combat power equal to Rock Hidden?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Of course, it would be ninjas from the other Five Great Ninja Villages!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Looking at the entire ninja world, as far as Onoki knew, the number of small ninja villages with Kage-level powerhouses could be counted on one hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>There were only the Waterfall ninjas of the Land of Waterfalls and the Rain ninjas of the Land of Rain.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>So the question arises, who exactly wiped out Rock Hidden’s logistics force?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Onoki opened his eyes, and a cold glint flashed in his old eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>",1294,"2026-06-17T05:01:42.539Z","2026-06-17T09:00:23.248Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","e2d364f1676214dbd0015dbe90a913afc04b0bab3f88de3e3611f0d6d1a9ff17","this-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-chapter-295","this-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-chapter-293",533,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-cover.jpg"]
