If Mizunuki Ryosuke hadn't mentioned it, it would be fine, but once he did, Shibuki felt there were problems everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For no reason, how could the Rock Shinobi suddenly lose their minds and insist on launching an attack against the Waterfall Shinobi?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shibuki’s hesitation had already made the doubts in his heart clear. Clearly, Shibuki, who had always lived in a corner, lacked the strategic vision to examine the reasons for the Rock Shinobi launching the war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although there was indeed the reason of Mizunuki Ryosuke’s interference in the Rock Shinobi attacking the Waterfall Shinobi, it was more influenced by the general trend of the ninja world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the moment the Rock Shinobi suffered a crushing defeat on the battlefield of the Land of Lightning, it was destined that they would inevitably launch a war against the Waterfall Shinobi again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Leader Shibuki, it seems the Waterfall Shinobi has been at peace for too long.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mizunuki Ryosuke said quietly, his tone carrying a bit of emotion. Upon hearing this, Shibuki’s expression was slightly awkward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How much do you know about your enemies?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeming not to see Shibuki’s awkward expression, Mizunuki Ryosuke questioned him, but the final result only made Shibuki more awkward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the intelligence held by the Waterfall Shinobi, Shibuki only knew...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please, Lord Mizukage, enlighten me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shibuki asked sincerely; at this moment, he truly wanted to know why the Rock Shinobi would launch this sudden war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Shibuki’s expression, Mizunuki Ryosuke pondered slightly and did not delve deeper, instead directly answering Shibuki’s doubts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huangtu, although he succeeded as the Fourth Tsuchikage, his prestige is insufficient due to the haste, and it is difficult for him to digest the bitter fruit of the Rock Shinobi’s defeat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Rock Shinobi deliberately chose this time to act against you; to put it bluntly, it is actually to divert the internal conflicts after the failure of the war with the Cloud Shinobi.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"And this is the real reason why the Rock Shinobi would invade you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The attraction brought by the Seven-Tails and other things is nothing more than a garnish.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryosuke did not hide anything and directly told Shibuki the whole reason. Hearing this, Shibuki was stunned. He hadn't understood the connections before, not because he was too stupid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was because the Waterfall Shinobi had been at peace for too long and hadn't experienced war for too long, which was why he hadn't thought in this direction at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that Mizunuki Ryosuke had suddenly said it, he suddenly realized where the problem lay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s talk about the Waterfall Shinobi. No matter how you look at it, the Land of Waterfalls has unique 'advantages'.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems that with such advantages, the Waterfall Shinobi should naturally be favored by 'peace'.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In terms of environment, the Land of Waterfalls has abundant water systems, and the Waterfall of Waterfall is a natural barrier that is easy to defend and hard to attack.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In terms of strength, the Waterfall Shinobi itself stands at the forefront of small nations, plus the existence of the Seven-Tails.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Small nations cannot be compared to the Waterfall Shinobi and dare not act as enemies; and large nations, considering their own status and the existence of the Seven-Tails, will not choose to act against the Waterfall Shinobi.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because of these, in the last Great Ninja War, even though the flames of war burned to the Five Great Nations, the Waterfall Shinobi could still stay out of it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mizunuki Ryosuke said leisurely, analyzing everything about the Waterfall Shinobi with great insight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Ryosuke’s words, the Waterfall Shinobi people exchanged glances. Mizunuki Ryosuke was right, but they didn't understand what the point of mentioning these things was now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But what was the result? What does this place, the Land of Waterfalls, which should have been the most 'peaceful', look like now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, Ryosuke continued, his tone changing abruptly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His words also made Shibuki’s expression change drastically; he seemed to understand what Mizunuki Ryosuke wanted to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The result proves that under the drive of the general trend of the ninja world, the 'peace' that the Waterfall Shinobi had been maintaining was a ridiculous thing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as a Great Nation is willing to lower its status and take the initiative, all the factors that previously promoted peace in the Land of Waterfalls are just a joke.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The seemingly decent strength will only be easily crushed; and the so-called terrain that is easy to defend and hard to attack is even less worth mentioning.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In fact, even one of the Five Great Nations like the Land of Earth’s Rock Shinobi has fallen to such a state under the sweep of the Great Ninja War.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why do you think the Waterfall Shinobi can get so-called peace?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After these words, Shibuki’s face was pale, and the other Waterfall Shinobi elders were all in low spirits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With the Rock Shinobi breaking the 'peace myth' of the Waterfall Shinobi this time, what do you think other forces in the ninja world will think?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Will they think that the seemingly strong Waterfall Shinobi is actually just an empty shell?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Some things only have the difference between the first time and countless times. Do you think the flames of war will continue to stay away from the Land of Waterfalls in the future?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mizunuki Ryosuke continued to speak eloquently, his expression as if he were just telling a story he had heard that had nothing to do with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for the strength you just mentioned...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I ask you, what is called having strength? Does having strength mean you can have peace?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While speaking, Mizunuki Ryosuke suddenly raised his hand and pointed at the Waterfall Shinobi leader Shibuki. Shibuki’s expression changed suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was for no other reason than that the Waterfall Shinobi elder lying on the ground had been killed directly by Mizunuki Ryosuke with a single finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, this time, Mizunuki Ryosuke really just pointed at him and had no intention of acting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Mizunuki Ryosuke had no intention of acting, Shibuki finally came to his senses and thought about Ryosuke’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Five Great Nations can be considered to have strength, right? Then look at the Rock Shinobi; what about the Leaf, which has the strongest strength among the Great Nations?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you think the dignified Land of Fire’s Leaf would be invaded because it lacks strength?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The strong will demand from the weak and launch wars; and the weak will rise up to resist because of the persecution of the strong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"War therefore repeats itself, never stopping, and the Waterfall Shinobi of the Land of Waterfalls cannot be spared from it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mizunuki Ryosuke once again revealed the truth of the ninja world, still the principle of survival of the fittest, but it sounded deafening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Mizunuki Ryosuke stopped speaking, the banquet hall fell into a long silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the nest is overturned, are there any intact eggs? Mizunuki Ryosuke’s meaning was very clear: even if the Waterfall Shinobi happened to be in a seemingly comfortable \"middle zone\" in the ninja world, they would still be forced into the flames of war because of the sweep of the ninja world’s turmoil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And for everyone present, at least none of them wanted war, which was inseparable from the atmosphere of the Waterfall Shinobi living in a corner for many years.\u003C\u002Fp>",1324,"2026-06-17T05:01:42.922Z","2026-06-17T05:05:39.462Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","d7eae1b6e6d9a46ff75ecf58eb2a653ca9347c13de701fb1f50cc28d5fb7de04","this-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-chapter-512","this-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-chapter-510",533,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-cover.jpg"]
