Chapter 390

It was just that in Tsunade’s view, it was too late to say these things now.

The Leaf had already stepped into the quagmire of the Land of Rain and could not pull itself out.

Little did she know, it was precisely because of this point that Tsunade had fallen into a state of "the bystander sees clearly, the player is confused."

"Phew..."

"Yes, you are very right, Ryosuke."

"Hanzo of the Salamander is a very terrifying opponent; it was indeed the Leaf’s underestimation of the enemy that led to the current result."

Tsunade sighed, admitting the mistake in the Leaf’s war decision, and at the same time, her mood became even lower.

Because as a commander, she indeed had an unshirkable responsibility in this point.

As a princess of the Senju clan, Tsunade could still bravely accept her mistakes, but Mizunuki Ryosuke’s words made Tsunade feel like she was being "criticized" by her beloved.

Her mood suddenly dropped a lot, looking like a child whose lollipop had been snatched away, full of a feeling that made people feel pity.

Seeing Tsunade’s weak and low expression, Mizunuki Ryosuke’s heart was greatly moved.

Now, if you ask Mizunuki Ryosuke when a woman is most attractive, he will tell you without hesitation that it is when she is full of "contrast cuteness."

Tsunade, who had always maintained a strong, perfect, and noble posture, now showed this weak look, and her charm had simply reached an indescribable level.

Especially this charm, for a man named Mizunuki Ryosuke, was simply an existence with special effects.

At that moment, a desire to commit a crime arose in Mizunuki Ryosuke’s heart again.

But Ryosuke knew in his heart that after continuous battles, Tsunade was probably already unable to bear the conquest, so he could only forcibly suppress the impulse in his heart.

Even so, he still unceremoniously used a fiery kiss to eliminate Tsunade’s low mood.

"Bad..."

"You only know how to bully me."

Tsunade, out of breath, coquettishly said, and the low mood just now had disappeared.

Sure enough, love is the best medicine to eliminate all negative emotions.

She only thought Mizunuki Ryosuke was being bad and had already forgotten the topic Mizunuki Ryosuke mentioned before.

"Little fool, I didn't say these things to criticize you."

"I want to tell you that the way for the Leaf to break the situation is actually in this."

Mizunuki Ryosuke couldn't laugh or cry, looking at the woman in his arms with a gentle gaze.

"What?"

Tsunade hurriedly raised her head from Ryosuke’s arms to look at his face; a flash of brightness appeared in her eyes, waiting for Ryosuke’s reply with full attention.

"Since the original war strategy was formulated because the Leaf underestimated the enemy."

"Then have you ever thought that perhaps the Leaf should adjust its current strategy."

"Or rather, should the current Leaf treat the Rain ninjas as a real opponent, rather than a clown who is grandstanding?"

Mizunuki Ryosuke’s words made Tsunade show a thoughtful expression, but she couldn't figure out the key for a while.

Immediately after, Mizunuki Ryosuke pointed out to Tsunade again.

"Since the Leaf can't consume the Rain ninjas in the Land of Rain, why stay here?"

"Don't forget, this war was initiated by Hanzo of the Salamander."

"Logically speaking, they are the ones who are the invading side."

Mizunuki Ryosuke looked at Tsunade in his arms and softly explained the joints to Tsunade.

Hearing this, Tsunade was suddenly enlightened, and an excited expression appeared on her pretty face.

The saying "the bystander sees clearly, the player is confused" is not false at all.

Tsunade had always been in the game and had ignored the most fatal weakness in the strategy implemented by Hanzo of the Salamander!

Subsequently, Tsunade placed her gaze on Mizunuki Ryosuke’s face, a trace of tenderness and attachment flashing in her green eyes.

She didn't know how to thank Mizunuki Ryosuke, or perhaps she didn't need to thank Mizunuki Ryosuke, because she had already given everything she could give to this man.

At that moment, Tsunade turned over and got up, making Mizunuki Ryosuke pressed underneath; Tsunade looked at Ryosuke with a condescending look, her beautiful eyes carrying a bit of provocation.

Seeing this, a flash of surprise crossed Mizunuki Ryosuke’s expression, but soon the corners of his mouth lifted slightly into an arc.

A long, long time ago, in a corner of the ninja world, there occurred a story about a female knight who attempted to tame a wild horse.

At first, the female knight held the upper hand, her spirit soaring and her momentum like a rainbow.

But soon, the female knight discovered she had completely underestimated the wild horse’s ferocity, and her stamina was quickly exhausted.

In the end,

the horse-taming failed, and she was tamed by the horse instead.

Hmm, this is just a simple, heartwarming little story.

Tsunade pulled her thoughts away from the memory. Recalling the events within it, a trace of imperceptible shyness flashed in her eyes, to the point that her legs even felt slightly weak.

But soon, relying on astonishing willpower, she forcibly suppressed this lingering sentiment in the depths of her heart and brought up the real business.

Tsunade swept a glance over the Konoha ninjas present, her face serious and righteous as she spoke slowly.

"I propose that we order all troops to withdraw from the Land of Rain!"

"In other words, a retreat!"

Tsunade’s voice paused slightly, then she resolutely uttered the word "retreat."

Once these words were spoken, the room was in an uproar.

Everyone looked at Tsunade with obvious astonishment, and many even had flashes of confusion and faint anger in their eyes.

Even in the eyes of Jiraiya and Orochimaru, there was clear shock.

After the surprise, Orochimaru lowered his head in deep thought, as if he had realized something.

As for Jiraiya, after his astonishment, he revealed a look of incomprehensible shock; he opened his mouth as if to speak, but for a long time, no sound came out.

No matter where one is, fleeing in the face of battle is bound to be despised.

Just as everyone was discussing it, only one young ninja with a bun hairstyle in the room showed a sharp glint in his eyes.

The look he cast toward Tsunade also carried a hint of admiration.

This was a pitch-black dungeon.

There was not a sliver of light in the dungeon; it could be described as so dark one could not see their own fingers.

The good news was that the dungeon’s environment was relatively clean, and the air was fairly fresh.

In the dark, empty dungeon, a young girl wearing an outfit similar to a cheongsam leaned against the wall, her face devoid of any hope for life.

Recalling what happened yesterday, a flash of despair crossed the girl’s clear, black-and-white eyes.

This girl was the very same unlucky girl who had "arrived" in the Land of Rain only yesterday.

After becoming the target of both Konoha ninjas and Rain ninjas in a muddled state yesterday, knowing nothing of the Land of Rain’s terrain and panicking, the girl could only run and flee blindly.

Soon, because the pursuit went too deep, the Konoha ninjas gave up the chase.

The ones pursuing the girl became the Rain ninja side.
