On the top of the Ice Dragon King's head, the high-altitude airflow blew the hair on Mizunuki Ryosuke's forehead, causing it to dance wildly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>When Hoshigaki Kisame's message reached Mizunuki Ryosuke, Mizunuki Ryosuke pondered slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>According to his original plan, the White Shark unit led by Hoshigaki Kisame should have appeared directly behind the battlefield of the Rock and Cloud, and together with the Mist Mist Anbu unit led by Hozuki Mangetsu, launched a pincer attack on the flank and rear of the Rock.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But unexpectedly, planting willows unintentionally, Hoshigaki Kisame had mistakenly entered the enemy's wounded camp and captured four thousand wounded Rock ninja.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As a result, how to deal with these four thousand Rock ninja became a problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Although these four thousand Rock ninja had a certain value, conversely, if he chose to take over these four thousand prisoners, the combat power in Hoshigaki Kisame's hands would be completely tied up.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Now there were two paths in front of Mizunuki Ryosuke: either go all the way and directly order Hoshigaki Kisame to kill these four thousand wounded Rock ninja.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The benefit of this was that there would be no restraint, and Hoshigaki Kisame's extreme combat power would be liberated, but correspondingly, the benefits brought by these four thousand Rock ninja would be lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After all, by holding these four thousand Rock ninja in his hands, he would certainly be able to exchange for good benefits from the Rock Village after the war.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After pondering for a moment, Mizunuki Ryosuke finally made up his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He issued an order to Hoshigaki Kisame through the ninja cats.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The border between the Land of Moon and the Land of Lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After several days of fierce fighting, under Onoki's offensive that did not care about sacrifice and consumption, the Rock ninja's positions had already advanced into the territory of the Land of Lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At first glance, it seemed that the Rock ninja had the upper hand, but in reality, in terms of the consumption of war losses between the two sides, the Rock ninja were 50% higher than the Cloud ninja!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Not only that, after the Rock Village abandoned its defensive fortifications and invaded the Land of Lightning, the Cloud Village instead had better strategic depth, and the Rock ninja, with their overextended front lines, were often hit by the Cloud ninja and unable to attend to both ends.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In just a few days, the Cloud Village had suffered nearly ten thousand casualties.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At the same time, even though the Cloud Village occupied a certain advantage, it was also not having an easy time.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Because the offensive of the Rock ninja was simply too crazy!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Even though the war losses were lower than those of the Rock ninja, the casualties of the Cloud Village were also not small.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Perhaps the only difference between the two was that as the siege warfare continued, the morale of the Rock Village was constantly falling.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And on the Cloud side, although the fighting was equally tragic, the morale was rising higher and higher.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After all, compared to consuming each other with the Rock ninja huddled in defensive fortifications, the Cloud ninja were more willing to fight to the death on the battlefield!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Under such circumstances, a ninja who had been urgently transferred from within the Rock Village arrived at this battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A ninja wearing a conical hat, whose face could not be seen clearly, dressed in purple clothes and a chest plate, with his hair tied into a small ponytail in the back and a big beard, walked toward Onoki's tent as if no one else was around.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The ninja responsible for guarding the Tsuchikage's tent saw this person, and a trace of surprise flashed in their eyes one after another, staring at the bearded ninja with hesitant eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A Rock ninja guard raised his hand and was just about to say something, but was stopped by his companion beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The companion gave him a look and then shook his head with a serious face.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The bearded ninja did not even look at the two guards and walked directly past them into the tent.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After stepping into the tent of the Third Tsuchikage Onoki, he raised his head slightly, revealing the Rock Village headband on his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It was just that as a Rock ninja, he seemed to have no respect for the Tsuchikage Onoki, sitting directly on the chair opposite Onoki without ceremony, and then dangling his feet on the table in a slouching manner.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seeing this situation, the Third Tsuchikage Onoki, who had always been known for his rigidity and majesty, actually said nothing, just staring at this bearded ninja all the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Neither of them spoke, maintaining silence just like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Until a long time later, a burly and sturdy young ninja with a very honest-looking face stepped into the tent.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Father.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Mr. Roshi?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The person who came was Kitsuchi. He originally wanted to say something to Onoki, but after seeing the bearded ninja in the tent, he immediately retracted the words he was about to say and couldn't help but make a surprised sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>To this, Onoki remained calm, but a trace of disdain flashed on the bearded ninja's face.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Kitsuchi, say what you have to say.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"There's no need to hide it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Onoki's calm voice came. Upon hearing this, Kitsuchi nodded slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>His surprise only lasted for a moment, and he quickly understood the joints, including the reason why this bearded ninja appeared here.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After all, it had reached a critical moment involving survival, and at this moment, the dispute of individual ideology was far from being comparable to the interests of the national ninja village.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Currently, many of our logistical supplies have completely run out, and the war losses on the front line are still expanding.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Also...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Kitsuchi reported all the problems of the Rock ninja troops in one breath, and then retreated to one side without saying a word, waiting tightly for Onoki's reply.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Hoo.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Onoki took a deep breath, turned his eyes, and slowly looked at Roshi on the opposite side, his eyes carrying a trace of unspeakable complexity.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Roshi, you and I both know how things have developed to this point.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Now, no matter what, the top priority is to ensure the continuation of the village.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"After this war ends, I will take full responsibility for everything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Now, the village needs your strength.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Onoki said with a sincere expression, his tone carrying a few rare requests.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It was hard to imagine that this Tsuchikage, who had almost absolute authority within the Rock Village, would speak in such a tone to a subordinate Rock ninja.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"What do you plan to do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seeing that Onoki had already expressed himself like this, the bearded ninja did not continue to put on airs. He put down the feet he had placed on the table, sat on the chair, folded his arms, and looked at Onoki.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Although his expression remained cold, the contempt for Onoki in his eyes faded slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"You already know the situation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Now, there is only one thing left before officially starting negotiations with the Cloud.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"That is—the Third Raikage!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Onoki took a deep breath, a trace of firmness and persistence flashing in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>",1336,"2026-06-17T05:01:42.539Z","2026-06-17T09:00:23.248Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","902de6692f009ed232437819ad642f1a3013c09c1a452531f6d5c2e775b21dd0","this-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-chapter-330","this-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-chapter-328",533,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-cover.jpg"]
