Chapter 411: , The End of a Ninja

After hearing Tsunade’s description, Mizunuki Ryosuke frowned.

In general, it meant that according to Mizunuki Ryosuke’s previous suggestions, the Leaf side had adopted this advice and changed their war strategy.

From originally seeking the main force of the Rain Ninjas for a decisive battle, they had turned to sending small units for a war of attrition.

And this sortie by the Leaf was based on this strategic tactic.

In these few days, the Leaf appeared to be resting and recovering morale, but in reality, the intelligence unit led by Orochimaru had not been idle.

Through the detection of the intelligence unit, the Leaf had already determined several areas where Rain Ninjas were active in the Land of Rain.

The goal of this Leaf attack was to break into pieces, sending ninja squads to separately raid, surround, and counterattack the Rain Ninjas in these areas.

This was a typical small-scale ninja tactic, and the Leaf’s choice was understandable.

But such a tactic was clearly too biased toward the "ninja style"; in other words, the Leaf still hadn't realized the biggest flaw of the Rain Ninja side at this moment.

As the saying goes, those involved are confused, while bystanders see clearly.

Sometimes, it is not necessary to use ninja means to win.

Mizunuki Ryosuke had never forgotten the "Art of War" passed down by his Chinese ancestors in his previous life.

Thinking of this, Mizunuki Ryosuke intended to enlighten Tsunade.

"Little Tsunade, if I remember correctly, the grain production in the Land of Rain shouldn't be very abundant, right?"

"And because the Land of Rain has always been in war, the production capacity should be very low."

Mizunuki Ryosuke said leisurely, a deep meaning appearing in his eyes.

One could figure out with their butt how suitable a country with constant rain could be for the growth of crops.

Therefore, there were not many areas in the Land of Rain that could grow crops.

"Mm?"

Hearing this, Tsunade’s beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she fell into deep thought.

Soon, Tsunade’s eyes grew brighter and brighter; with her intelligence, under Mizunuki Ryosuke’s guidance, she quickly understood the joints of the matter.

Ninjas are also people; ninjas also need to satisfy the basic needs of eating, drinking, and excreting.

The Land of Rain was already poor in grain production; if the Leaf started directly from this aspect, how long could the Rain Ninja’s grain reserves last after a long time?

The Land of Earth and the Land of Fire, which bordered the Land of Rain, could not possibly sell war resources like grain to the Land of Rain, and the Land of Wind on the other side was even more barren than the Land of Rain.

Therefore, once the source of grain for the Land of Rain was cut off, it was equivalent to cutting off the lifeblood of the Rain Ninjas.

It might work for a short time, but once it dragged on, the Rain Ninjas would likely fall into famine, and at that time, the Rain Ninjas would collapse without being attacked.

Since the Leaf had already made up their minds to fight a protracted war, they naturally wouldn't be afraid of extending the war time.

As the saying goes, the Leaf had a big family and a big business; they could afford to consume.

Seeing Tsunade’s eyes getting brighter and brighter, Mizunuki Ryosuke showed a pleased smile; he knew that Tsunade had already understood the deep meaning in his words.

"Thank you, Darling."

Tsunade was excited, and the look in her eyes toward Mizunuki Ryosuke was full of joy and admiration.

"Silly girl, what are you thanking me for between us?"

Mizunuki Ryosuke shook his head, affectionately rubbing Tsunade’s hair, messing up her hair that was originally as smooth as a pure gold ribbon, which drew a playful scolding from Tsunade.

Although it was just a short sentence, it pointed out the weakness of the Rain Ninjas and pointed out the road ahead for the Leaf.

Every time she met Mizunuki Ryosuke, he could perfectly solve the predicament Tsunade encountered; such wisdom also made Tsunade admire Mizunuki Ryosuke even more.

This also made Tsunade inevitably develop a sense of reliance on Mizunuki Ryosuke in her heart.

What woman wouldn't want to be helped and resolved when she encountered difficulties? Even a strong woman is no exception.

For Tsunade’s admiring eyes, Mizunuki Ryosuke naturally enjoyed it very much, so he accepted it happily.

"As for that annoying Kato Dan..."

Mizunuki Ryosuke spoke again, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

Regarding Kato Dan, Tsunade had spoken in great detail, including the fact that behind this matter, it actually contained the visions of the Leaf higher-ups and the Senju higher-ups.

Because of this, a chill flashed through Mizunuki Ryosuke’s heart.

Daring to snatch a woman from him? This Kato Dan probably didn't know how to write the word "death"!

Originally, Mizunuki Ryosuke considered that this Kato Dan was just a "dying man," and didn't want to bother with him.

But since he was actively seeking death, he couldn't blame him.

Mizunuki Ryosuke’s cold light was clearly captured by Tsunade; Tsunade was a bit worried about this, after all, no matter what, Kato Dan was a ninja from the same village as her.

If Mizunuki Ryosuke’s methods were too extreme, it might not be very good.

"Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion; just leave it to me."

Mizunuki Ryosuke smiled warmly, signaling Tsunade not to worry.

Seeing this, Tsunade had no choice but to choose to believe in Mizunuki Ryosuke, because she didn't need to doubt her own partner for the sake of an outsider.

Since Mizunuki Ryosuke said he would handle it well, he would definitely handle it well.

Since when did she start having a kind of blind confidence in Mizunuki Ryosuke?

"Good girl."

Mizunuki Ryosuke raised his hand and helped Tsunade smooth out her messed-up hair.

The warm touch from Mizunuki Ryosuke’s large hand made Tsunade half-close her eyes, revealing a cozy posture like a kitten.

Seeing this, a hint of warmth appeared in Ryosuke’s eyes.

"Little Tsunade, have you ever thought about what you want to do after the war ends?"

Mizunuki Ryosuke said softly in her ear while stroking Tsunade’s smooth hair, his breath blowing on Tsunade’s neck, making her feel a bit itchy.

Tsunade did not reject Mizunuki Ryosuke’s intimate and loving actions, but she showed a hint of confusion at his question.

What else could she do?
