Chapter 439

It’s just that some things, although known to be impossible, can only be done with effort.

If the weak want to survive in the cracks, they can only choose to go against the current.

And for Hanzo of the Salamander, surviving in adversity is no longer a strange thing.

But this time, can it still go as he wishes?

Hanzo of the Salamander doesn’t know.

He never believed that the long night would come to the Land of Rain; he thought the torch was in his hands.

But as for the result, only God knows.

Since the Leaf changed its tactics, the originally clear battlefield situation was instantly covered with a shadow.

Hanzo of the Salamander actually couldn’t see the layout of the Leaf side clearly at this moment.

What is going on with all this?

Hanzo of the Salamander doesn’t know.

He knows that behind the sudden change of the Leaf, there must be an "expert" pointing it out.

And as for who this "expert" is, Hanzo of the Salamander can only make aimless guesses based on the limited information at hand.

Guessing back and forth, a trace of depth appeared in Hanzo of the Salamander’s eyes.

It must be him, it is that man!

——The Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen!

It must be him who interfered with the war decision-making on the front line of the Leaf and formulated such tactics.

Hanzo of the Salamander thought it was more and more possible, because he suddenly felt that this kind of "old and strong" tactical formulation also fits the style of the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, very well.

I am afraid that even if Hanzo of the Salamander racked his brains, he could not guess that the "expert" who was planning behind the Leaf was his "staunch ally," Mizunuki Ryosuke.

"Hoo..."

Thinking of this, Hanzo of the Salamander couldn’t help but sigh lightly.

In front of the massive Leaf, even a person like him who has stood at the top of the ninja world cannot help but feel how small he is.

The pressure brought by the Leaf is something that the previous Sand Hidden and Rock Hidden never gave him.

He is like a game player who is clearing a dungeon, and the Leaf is a dungeon at the hell difficulty level.

The Sannin coalition fighting against him seems to be just some "elite monsters" placed on the stage, and the real boss is far in the depths of the "dungeon."

It’s just that now, it’s the same sentence.

There is no turning back after opening the bow; things have reached this point, so even if you grit your teeth, you have to go hard.

At this moment, although Hanzo of the Salamander’s spirit has been frustrated, he is far from losing confidence.

At this moment, Hanzo of the Salamander carried the flying sickle on his side and walked toward the door with a serious face——there, the Rain ninjas who had assembled and were ready to go were waiting for his arrival.

It can be foreseen that tonight, this flying sickle will inevitably be stained with blood.

At this moment, Hanzo of the Salamander finally stopped hiding and sacrificed the Rain ninja’s killing move——himself.

The setting sun melts gold, and the twilight clouds combine.

As the sunset of dusk flowed on this mountain peak, this originally ordinary peak was also covered with a dazzling feeling.

At this moment, there was no one here, and the beautiful scenery of nature was displayed vividly here.

Even some small animals in the forest would stop from time to time, looking at the sunset in the sky and standing blankly, seeming to be immersed in this...

A little squirrel seemed to be intoxicated by the afterglow of the sunset, and couldn’t help but walk toward the edge of the cliff.

But just as it was about to approach the edge of the cliff, a sudden inexplicable strange sound scared the timid it to flee in a panic.

Tsunade looked at the world outside the ice wall, her green eyes full of confusion.

It seems that this thin layer of ice wall has completely separated the inside and outside into two worlds.

Under the division of the Demonic Mirror Ice Crystal, this place has become a secret place unknown to the world.

This cliff is naturally the cliff where Mizunuki Ryosuke and Tsunade dated before. Since that time, this place has also become a dating place that the two of them tacitly understand.

"Anata..."

Tsunade leaned in Mizunuki Ryosuke’s arms, looked up at Mizunuki Ryosuke’s side face with confused eyes, her voice soft enough to melt the hardest steel in the world.

Seeing Tsunade’s expression, even Mizunuki Ryosuke, who was already familiar with her, couldn’t help but jump suddenly.

Who could imagine that the strong and confident Senju princess would show such a weak and lovely expression in his arms?

Conquering a powerful and noble woman and making her bow down to him by his side can bring a man a huge sense of achievement.

Even Mizunuki Ryosuke is no exception.

It’s just that because he had practiced too much today, Mizunuki Ryosuke had to forcibly suppress the romantic thoughts in his heart.

Mizunuki Ryosuke finally just lowered his head and left a kiss on Tsunade’s forehead, and then talked about business.

"How is the situation recently, is the progress going well?"

Mizunuki Ryosuke took the initiative to ask this Tsunade.

Every time the two were intimate and then talked about business, it seemed to have become a habit of the two.

Seeing Mizunuki Ryosuke mention business, Tsunade, who had just turned into a little woman, instantly regained the aura of the Leaf commander.

"The situation is like this..."

Afterwards, Tsunade didn’t mean to hide anything at all, but instead told Mizunuki Ryosuke all about the recent war situation between the Leaf and the Rain ninjas, as well as the Leaf’s next plans.

After listening, Mizunuki Ryosuke showed a thoughtful expression.

Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles.

No matter how smart a person is, an inevitable prerequisite for achieving "predicting the enemy first" is information and intelligence.

Only by mastering enough information can we use this as support to judge the enemy’s situation.

And at the moment, although Mizunuki Ryosuke is an "outsider," through contact with Tsunade and Hanzo of the Salamander, he happens to know the situation of both sides very well.

In this case, as long as he puts himself in the thinking of both sides, he can think of the next actions of both sides.

Tsunade had just told Mizunuki Ryosuke the plan of the Leaf side, which was nothing more than following the advice he gave before,

carrying out a set of guarding, infiltrating, assassinating, counterattacking, and consuming.

Responding to all changes with no change, the Leaf’s choice is naturally understandable.

After all, the Leaf has already achieved certain results relying on this brand-new strategic thinking before, so there is naturally no need to rush to make changes.

The one who should be anxious is the Rain ninja side.

Since most of the logistics supplies of the Rain ninjas are currently supplied by Mist Hidden, Mizunuki Ryosuke knows that the situation of the Rain ninjas is even more...

optimistic.

And with Hanzo of the Salamander’s personality, how could he choose to continue to consume with the Leaf and sit and wait for death?

He will inevitably take the initiative to strike first before the situation starts to deteriorate further, and doing so can just catch the Leaf off guard.

After all, the Leaf certainly wouldn’t expect that the Rain ninjas, who had been closing the door and not fighting, and were as slippery as a loach, would suddenly launch an attack on the Leaf.

If Hanzo of the Salamander’s surprise attack plan succeeds, although it will not reverse the disadvantage in one fell swoop, it will at least boost the morale of the Rain ninjas, thereby causing variables in the war situation.

Such an ending is clearly not what Mizunuki Ryosuke wants to see.

At least at the moment, Mizunuki Ryosuke must first create a complete dead end for this arrogant Rain ninja leader.

So now, he still has to help the Leaf turn Hanzo of the Salamander’s counterattack into a bubble.
