Chapter 389

Anyone with eyes could see that the current Leaf was in a dilemma.

Jiraiya's strategy of advancing bravely was not advisable, but it was the only option in the current situation.

"No, I have a way."

"Perhaps we don't need to take risks at all."

"It's time for our tactics and strategies to be adjusted."

Just then, a charming, confident, and steady voice rang in everyone's ears, and everyone looked toward the source of the voice.

The person speaking was none other than Tsunade!

At this moment, Tsunade's eyes were shining with a charming brilliance, and a powerful aura that shocked people appeared on her body.

"What way?"

Jiraiya looked at Tsunade, who was full of spirit, with a strange expression and asked softly.

Hearing this, a trace of tenderness flashed in Tsunade's green eyes, and she remembered everything that happened last night.

The rain had just stopped, and Tsunade was lying lazily in Mizunuki Ryosuke's arms.

Even with her physique, she couldn't help but feel unusually tired at this moment.

After venting, the pressure in Tsunade's heart was relieved a lot, but although the pressure had been relieved, the worry in her heart surged again.

After all, the difficult situation of the Leaf made Tsunade still worried.

Originally, the difference in camps meant Tsunade shouldn't have told Mizunuki Ryosuke some things.

But the situation of the Leaf was not a secret in the Land of Rain, coupled with Tsunade's trust in Mizunuki Ryosuke.

So, Tsunade didn't hide anything and poured out everything to Mizunuki Ryosuke.

Regarding Tsunade's pouring out, Mizunuki Ryosuke didn't say a word, just quietly hugged Tsunade's plump body, listening to his lover's worries.

Regarding the current situation of the Leaf, even if Tsunade didn't say it, Mizunuki Ryosuke could guess most of it.

From any angle, the situation of the Leaf was not good.

But this didn't matter; this time Mizunuki Ryosuke came to handle the current situation.

Of course, everything he did was not for the Leaf.

He did it for himself, Tsunade, and the Mist Village. ***

In other words, the final outcome would only be a situation favorable to the Mist Village, Mizunuki Ryosuke himself, and Tsunade.

As for the Leaf and Hiruzen Sarutobi, why would Mizunuki Ryosuke care?

Thinking of this, a trace of depth flashed in Mizunuki Ryosuke's eyes.

"Don't worry, Xiao Gang."

Mizunuki Ryosuke looked at Tsunade's worried eyes and gently stroked Tsunade's back.

Hearing Mizunuki Ryosuke's intimate address, a trace of shyness flashed on Tsunade's fair face.

Such an intimate address as "Xiao Gang" had never been called by anyone except Tsunade's own parents and two grandfathers, Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama.

Now that this shy address suddenly appeared in her lover's mouth, Tsunade couldn't help but tremble, and her fair face was covered with red clouds.

Seeing Tsunade's shyness, a trace of a smile flashed in Mizunuki Ryosuke's eyes.

Unexpectedly, a strong woman like Tsunade would also show this shy and lovely posture.

Such a Princess Tsunade was really too cute.

"I have a way for the things you are worried about."

Mizunuki Ryosuke didn't continue to tease Tsunade, but turned to talk about business.

Hearing Ryosuke's words, a trace of surprise appeared in Tsunade's eyes, but soon her eyes were replaced by worry again.

The reason she was worried was not because she didn't trust Mizunuki Ryosuke's ability.

It was because she subconsciously thought of other places.

She knew that Mizunuki Ryosuke held a high position in the Land of Water and had a status equivalent to the Hokage; with his power and status, it was not difficult to influence the war in the Land of Rain.

But if Mizunuki Ryosuke interfered in the Land of Rain in the name of the Mist Mizukage, such behavior might be beneficial to Tsunade, but it was not beneficial to the Mist Village and the Land of Water.

Tsunade didn't want to implicate Mizunuki Ryosuke because of her own affairs.

"Ryosuke, I..."

Tsunade was just about to say something when Mizunuki Ryosuke placed a finger on Tsunade's delicate lips without hesitation, stopping what Tsunade was about to say.

Mizunuki Ryosuke naturally saw through Tsunade's thoughts at a glance.

In fact, Tsunade also had a certain misunderstanding about the "way" in Mizunuki Ryosuke's mouth; regarding the Land of Rain, the Mist Village would not participate in it.

The one participating in it was only Mizunuki Ryosuke alone.

And the way in Mizunuki Ryosuke's mouth didn't refer to helping the Leaf break through the dilemma with "external force," but a strategy to solve the war problem from the Leaf's own perspective.

"Don't worry, Xiao Gang."

"I have a sense of proportion."

Mizunuki Ryosuke said softly, soothing Tsunade's emotions.

Immediately after, Mizunuki Ryosuke didn't delay any longer, but directly turned to talk about his way.

"Xiao Gang, have you ever thought about why the Leaf encountered the current dilemma?"

Mizunuki Ryosuke asked Tsunade softly, making Tsunade, who heard this, become somewhat hesitant.

The reasons why the Leaf fell into a stalemate on the battlefield of the Land of Rain were various, and it was not something that could be summarized in one word; Tsunade didn't know where to start.

Most importantly, Tsunade didn't know why Mizunuki Ryosuke asked this.

Just when Tsunade was puzzled, Mizunuki Ryosuke took the initiative to announce the answer.

"In my opinion, the reason the Leaf fell into a dilemma is, in the final analysis, its own problem."

"And the problem of the Leaf can be summarized in two words—underestimating the enemy."

Mizunuki Ryosuke said without hesitation, and his words made Tsunade's face sink slightly.

As the commander of the entire Leaf army, Tsunade understood that Mizunuki Ryosuke's words were not false.

The problems of the Leaf can be summarized as various, but in fact, the root problem is underestimating the enemy!

After all, for many years, the Leaf had long been accustomed to the status of "Big Brother of the Ninja World"; although the Leaf ninjas didn't say it on their lips, they had all planted the subjective thought that "the Leaf is number one in the world" in their hearts.

Therefore, let alone the Rain ninjas, even the ninjas of the other four major ninja villages were not taken seriously by the proud soldiers of the Leaf.

Coupled with the fact that they had fought the Rain ninjas before, the Leaf ninjas naturally knew what level the Rain ninjas were at.

Even though the one who took action this time was the leader of the Rain ninjas, Hanzo of the Salamander, in fact, among all the Leaf ninjas, except for Tsunade who had a brief encounter with Hanzo, none of them took Hanzo too seriously. Including Orochimaru and Jiraiya.

"Demigod"? So what if he is a demigod? A mere Rain ninja, what kind of waves can he make!

Thus, with such thoughts, the Leaf ninjas led by the Sannin started the war with the Rain ninjas.

Facts proved that Hanzo of the Salamander, whether in strength or means, was far beyond the current Sannin.

Underestimating the enemy for a moment led to mistakes at every step, eventually casting the dilemma before the Leaf. ***
