Chapter 342

At this moment, all the Cloud ninjas erupted in earth-shattering cheers.

The amount of information revealed in Mizunuki Ryosuke's words was huge; compared to the cheering Cloud ninjas, all the Rock ninjas had low expressions.

"Are, are you kidding me!"

"How could the Mizukage appear here! He must be fake!"

The Rock ninja on the battlefield said in disbelief, his face extremely pale.

Because Mizunuki Ryosuke's words at this moment were undoubtedly declaring that the Hidden Rock had lost, and lost completely.

This was a war launched by the Hidden Rock with the strength of the entire nation; if they failed, almost all Rock ninjas dared not imagine what would happen.

Although the Rock ninjas at this moment still had the strength to fight, the Third Tsuchikage was seriously injured and unconscious, the Hidden Rock was leaderless, and the Hidden Rock without a head had lost the possibility of a desperate fight.

And the only two remaining Rock powerhouses on the battlefield each had reasons that could not convince the crowd.

Tsuchikage's son Kitsuchi was too young to convince the crowd.

Kage-level powerhouse Roshi had been suppressed by the Tsuchikage for many years and was difficult to get recognition from the Rock ninjas who supported Third Tsuchikage Onoki.

Gradually, some Rock ninjas' will wavered, and they actually prepared to do as Mizunuki Ryosuke said—lay down their weapons and surrender.

Just then, a steady voice suddenly rang through the entire battlefield.

"Rock ninjas, I announce the order of Tsuchikage Onoki in the name of the Tsuchikage's son!!"

"Third Tsuchikage Onoki once told me before the war that if he himself had an accident."

"Lava ninja Roshi will temporarily take over the position of Tsuchikage and temporarily act as Tsuchikage!"

"I, Kitsuchi, am willing to respect Roshi as the acting Tsuchikage!!!"

All the Rock ninjas looked for the sound, and saw a burly, honest-looking young man speaking loudly; although his tone was not impassioned, it was full of solemnity and steadiness.

No one would doubt the content of what he said, because he had the most authoritative identity—the Tsuchikage's son!

"Rock ninjas, don't forget, we are ninjas with the 'Stubborn Stone Spirit'!"

"Thunder, heavy rain, wind..."

"No matter what we encounter, when have Rock ninjas ever been afraid? A mere setback, how can we retreat!"

"Rock ninjas, never surrender!!!!"

Kitsuchi raised his arms and shouted, and his deafening voice rang in every Rock ninja's ears.

Hearing Kitsuchi's words, all the Rock ninjas regained their confidence.

"YES!!!!!"

Twenty thousand Rock ninjas shouted in unison, and the huge sound wave almost lifted the clouds in the sky.

Roshi's hands were tightly clenched into a fist, and for a moment his vision became a bit blurry.

Third Tsuchikage Onoki had said such words to him in front of Kitsuchi before the war.

But if Roshi wanted to succeed as Tsuchikage based on this, it was undoubtedly a pipe dream; first, there was no proof, and second, his prestige was insufficient.

Even if he had Kage-level strength, it was undoubtedly a pipe dream to turn the tide at this critical juncture.

But after having Kitsuchi's endorsement, everything was naturally different. Who was Kitsuchi? He was the Third Tsuchikage's own son! And he had always been the absolute core cultivated by the Third Tsuchikage according to the standards of a Tsuchikage!

Kitsuchi personally acknowledged Roshi's status as acting Tsuchikage, which immediately cleared all obstacles for Roshi.

His actions seemed normal, but only Roshi understood that some things Kitsuchi possessed were things he could not compare with.

If Kitsuchi had publicly announced that he was the successor designated by the Tsuchikage just now, I am afraid that with the enemy at the door, Roshi could only acknowledge Kitsuchi's statement.

And the Rock ninjas on the scene would also not have the slightest doubt about Kitsuchi's words.

And the reason why Kitsuchi didn't take the opportunity to call out was simple—for the sake of the village!

With Kitsuchi's strength, it was not enough to lead the Rock ninjas out of the predicament under such a situation, so for the sake of the village, Kitsuchi knew that it was necessary to let someone with enough strength take the position to lead the village out of the predicament.

Quasi-Kage was still a bit short; at the very least, it must be a true Kage-level powerhouse to be qualified.

Roshi was necessary, and also the only candidate.

Both Third Tsuchikage Onoki and Onoki's son Kitsuchi made the most correct decisions at the critical moment of the village.

"I announce in the name of the acting Tsuchikage!"

"Rock ninjas, rescue the Third Tsuchikage and fight to the last moment!"

"We Rock ninjas are duty-bound!!!"

Seeing this, Roshi also immediately began to stabilize the morale of the army; he shouted to all the Rock ninjas behind him, and the aura of a Kage-level powerhouse was undoubtedly revealed.

At this moment, only strength was the best way to explain everything!

"OHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"

Under the successive encouragement of Kitsuchi and Roshi, the morale of the Rock ninjas rose again; they kept making earth-shattering shouts.

An ancient saying goes, a grieving army will win; under the repeated encouragement of the two, the morale of the Rock ninjas in adversity was even higher than before.

"Fight! To! The! Death! Without! Retreat!"

Roshi said word by word, and until he said the last word, because he was too hard, Roshi's throat even cracked.

"Fight to the death without retreat! Fight to the death without retreat! Fight to the death without retreat!"

Roshi turned around, and the crazy shouting of the twenty thousand Rock ninjas behind him surged like a tide from behind Roshi; this power also became the pillar in Roshi's heart.

When Roshi looked at Mizunuki Ryosuke in white again, his realization in his heart was already different.

He suddenly recalled Onoki's so-called "Stubborn Stone Spirit"; at this moment, he finally understood what the content Onoki said meant.

Weakness gets no pity or sympathy; the result of laying down weapons can only be wanton slaughter.

Only by resisting can the Hidden Rock win a glimmer of life.

This was also the original intention of Onoki's desperate attack on the Hidden Cloud; although the situation had deteriorated, the truth had not changed.

He must fight! And fight like crazy, at all costs!

Only by making the opponent feel pain and retreat can one find an opportunity to retreat!

"Fourth Mizukage, hand over the Third!"

Roshi looked at Mizunuki Ryosuke with a solemn gaze, his tone solemn and his attitude firm.

"Pity."

Mizunuki Ryosuke said secretly in his heart.

He wanted to take the opportunity to settle the Rock ninjas without any effort, but didn't expect to be countered.

Still can't underestimate the heroes of the world; who said "Talk-no-Jutsu" is the protagonist's exclusive skill?

Mizunuki Ryosuke glanced at Kitsuchi, who had perfectly integrated into the crowd after the matter was finished in the Rock ninja cluster, and a flash of approval flashed in his eyes.

Didn't expect there to be such an existence among the Rock ninjas; this Rock ninja, who had few scenes in the original work, made Mizunuki Ryosuke marvel at his capacity and means.

The successor cultivated by Third Tsuchikage Onoki was indeed extraordinary.

It's a pity that Onoki lived too long in the original work, and the older he got, the more cunning he became, which led to this "ten-thousand-year crown prince" failing to successfully take the position until the end.

But for this result, Mizunuki Ryosuke was just trying it out anyway.

It would be best if he could successfully persuade the Rock ninjas to use less force, but it didn't matter if he couldn't.

After all, he, Mizunuki Ryosuke, had come to this day not by any so-called "Talk-no-Jutsu."

But by something else—strength!
