Although Rock Hidden and Sand had had friction for many years, they had never erupted into a large-scale war.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Sand’s remote geographical conditions also determined that Sand could not have the ability to reach the crime scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Not to mention, the current Sand was at war with Leaf; getting involved in the war between Cloud Hidden and Rock Hidden would be madness.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As for Mist, although the two sides were old enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Whether it was motive or conditions, Mist possessed them, but there was still that same problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If Mist sent troops to harass Rock Hidden’s logistics line, they would have to pass through Rock Hidden’s sensory range from the route, and the large Rock Hidden force stationed in the Land of Moon couldn't possibly be unaware.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>So the reason for excluding Mist was similar to Cloud Hidden.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Furthermore, according to Onoki’s understanding, Mist was sitting on the sidelines and had no need to get involved in the war between Cloud Hidden and Rock Hidden. Onoki put himself in the position of the Mist Mizukage and felt that the possibility of Mist actively getting involved in the war was also minimal.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And according to Onoki’s knowledge, the Fourth Mizukage of Mist had just succeeded to the position two years ago, and controlling the village was probably a problem, let alone rashly launching a war.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>That is to say, although Sand and Mist met the strength to commit the crime, they lacked the \"space\" to do so.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And so, Onoki perfectly excluded the real \"culprit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Having finished talking about those whose suspicion had been \"excluded,\" now it was time to talk about the \"suspect\" Onoki had almost determined in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Thinking and thinking, there was only one who had the ability to do this and had the space to commit the crime—Leaf!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Onoki clenched his fists.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The reason he chose to launch an attack on the Land of Moon was that he saw that the ninja world hegemon, Leaf, was currently entangled with Rain and Sand and couldn't spare the hands to interfere with his aggression against the Land of Moon.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>First, motive.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Although from the surface, Rock Hidden’s aggression against the Land of Moon, which was controlled by Cloud Hidden, had nothing to do with Leaf.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But in fact, controlling the Land of Moon was only the first step of Onoki’s plan. Next, after he stood firm, he would choose to attack the Land of Frost and the Land of Fields, which were controlled by Leaf.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If Leaf had already seen through his intentions, it was natural for them to interfere with Rock Hidden’s aggression against the Land of Moon.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Plus, Leaf and Cloud Hidden had an alliance relationship on the surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>So although Leaf was currently struggling to take care of itself while facing two enemies, it didn't exclude the possibility that Leaf would choose to launch an attack on Rock Hidden’s logistics to help their ally, Cloud Hidden.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Next, conditions.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Although Leaf was fighting fiercely with Rain and Sand on the battlefield, according to Onoki’s knowledge,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Leaf’s older generation of powerhouses were almost all inactive. With Leaf’s foundation, sending one or two Kage-level powerhouses and gathering a few thousand combat-capable ninjas was simply not a problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Finally, the most fatal point: Leaf was simply too close to Rock Hidden’s logistics supply line!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Leaf completely possessed the most perfect \"space to commit the crime.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Both the Land of Fields and the Land of Frost bordered Leaf’s territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>So Leaf completely had the ability to launch an attack on a target within the Land of Fields and the Land of Frost within twenty-four hours and then retreat safely back to the Land of Fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In summary, the \"culprit\" seemed to be self-evident.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Leaf!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Onoki said through gritted teeth, the cold light in his eyes almost spraying out.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Although Onoki had no evidence at the moment, the stubborn Onoki had almost determined that it was Leaf who had done it!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Father, what should we do now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Kitsuchi looked at the thin Tsuchikage with slightly worried eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hearing this, Onoki didn't speak, his eyes flickering with uncertain colors.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"How many more days can our supplies last?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Onoki asked Kitsuchi, his voice carrying a tone of determination.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"According to the current battle situation, our medical supplies will be exhausted in five days.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"In ten days, our explosive tags and ninja tools will have shortages, and after fifteen days, our food and grass will also be cut off.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Kitsuchi said in a low voice, his face extremely ugly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Five days...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Onoki muttered to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He knew in his heart that even if he immediately ordered the village to urgently prepare supplies and set off again to transport to the Land of Moon, it would take at least half a month.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>That is to say, only before Rock Hidden’s food and grass were completely cut off could Rock Hidden’s next batch of supplies possibly arrive.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This wasn't all; the most critical point was that Rock Hidden’s logistics route had already appeared with huge hidden dangers.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Since the opponent could attack Rock Hidden’s logistics line once, there would naturally be a second and a third time!\u003C\u002Fp>",1180,"2026-06-17T05:01:42.539Z","2026-06-17T09:00:23.248Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","09f43f1eecf25cd155d6b9ba2efe8da7ec57f59df9c9aef87e641eb01e53498e","this-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-chapter-296","this-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-chapter-294",533,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-cover.jpg"]
