Chapter 541: Better to kill by mistake than to let go

After Honda Yuichi left, Mizunuki Ryosuke recalled the intelligence Honda Yuichi had just told him in his heart. He looked at the moonlight outside the window, and a trace of sharp light flashed in his eyes.

He never expected that the timing of his arrival would be so perfect. He originally thought he would hibernate here and wait for a period of time, but he didn't expect that the timing of his arrival was just right.

In fact, Bee's guess was not wrong.

Mizunuki Ryosuke coming to the Land of Frost without a sound actually had another arrangement.

Since Mizunuki Ryosuke had long been prepared to intervene in the war between Iwagakure and Kumogakure, he naturally would not make a move hastily; his heart already had a plan.

According to the intelligence in Mizunuki Ryosuke's hands, Iwagakure currently possessed a total of about thirty thousand ninjas.

Among them, the core combat power was about five hundred Jonin.

And Kumogakure currently should have a total of about twenty thousand ninjas, and the number of Jonin should be roughly two hundred or so.

This was because of the Tailed Beast accident that appeared in Kumogakure not long ago, which led to a sharp decrease in the number of Jonin.

Looking at it this way, it was normal for Kumogakure to be beaten by Iwagakure and unable to lift its head.

And compared to Kumogakure and Iwagakure, although Kirigakure had recovered some vitality under Ryosuke's vigorous development in recent years.

But the previous overdraft still made Kirigakure's combat power look a bit thin.

The total number of ninjas recovered to twenty thousand, and the number of Jonin recovered to more than three hundred, which was roughly the same as Kumogakure at this time.

And at this moment, although Kirigakure joined Kumogakure's camp, forming a "two-against-one" situation.

But if one understood the specific military strength comparison between the two sides in detail, one would actually find that the overall strength of both sides was relatively balanced, and it did not stand out much.

Mizunuki Ryosuke had previously told Bee that Kirigakure's Anbu Department Head Hozuki Mangetsu and White Shark Unit Department Head Hoshigaki Kisame would each lead a team to support Kumogakure.

This was naturally not false.

But what Ryosuke didn't say was that the number of people in these two teams was only two thousand each.

Compared to the military strength of tens of thousands of Iwagakure and Kumogakure, Kirigakure as a third party only had four thousand people in total.

Although the number of people was not large, each team had one hundred Jonin as the backbone, and these four thousand troops were all elite combat parts of Kirigakure, plus having two Kage-level powerhouses as leaders, these two troops naturally had extremely strong combat power.

Even so, adding the combat power sent by Kirigakure, the overall combat power of both sides was only barely equal.

And the appearance of such a situation was naturally normal.

For one thing, the Ninja World was currently not peaceful, and the Land of Water still needed a large amount of military strength to sit in town. Plus the internal operation of the Land of Water itself, it naturally needed a large amount of power to maintain.

Kirigakure's factories were producing a large amount of war supplies every moment, and these supplies would eventually be transported to the Land of Wind, the Land of Lightning, and the Land of Rain.

And these supplies naturally all needed ninjas to be responsible for escorting.

For another, this war had completely different meanings for Kirigakure and Kumogakure. Although Mizunuki Ryosuke decided to help Kumogakure defeat Iwagakure.

But even if he helped, he had to divide it into what kind of "help" method.

Kirigakure had absolutely no need to go all out for the survival of Kumogakure and sacrifice its own interests. ===== CHAPTER 543 =====
