"The reason why I dared to launch an attack on an Iwagakure troop of more than a thousand people with only four people."

"Is because I know clearly that with the mobility of the Ice Dragon King and the combat power of the four of us, it is enough to wipe them out before the Iwagakure troops can react."

"Knowing yourself."

"I calculated that the leader of Iwagakure would definitely, in order to avoid accidents, disperse the logistics transport troops, and in order to cover their tracks, would choose to transport at night."

"Knowing the enemy."

Bee listened to Mizunuki Ryosuke's narration, and his expression gradually became solemn. At this moment, he knew extremely clearly the gap between himself and Mizunuki Ryosuke.

Such a gap is not only the gap between a "point" and a "line," but the gap between a "point" and a "plane."

Mizunuki Ryosuke's ability to judge and analyze the situation made Bee unreachable.

"The military has no constant situation, water has no constant shape."

"Every step you take, you must stop and assess the situation."

"Plans are never absolute, but must be changed according to the changes in reality factors."

"For example, now, we have launched a surprise attack and destroyed Iwagakure's logistics supplies."

"If you were Onoki, what would you think?"

Mizunuki Ryosuke looked directly into Bee's eyes and asked lightly.

Hearing this, a flash of deep thought flashed in Bee's eyes.

"I would send people to the place where the logistics troop lost contact to detect."

Bee answered Mizunuki Ryosuke with the answer he had already determined in his heart.

"And then?"

Mizunuki Ryosuke continued to pursue with a calm voice.

I don't know why, but under Ryosuke's scrutiny, a feeling of urgency suddenly arose in Bee's heart.

If this expression were seen by students in the Great Celestial Dynasty, they would definitely be very familiar with it, because this is the expression of a student who was called up by the teacher in class to answer a question, but didn't know anything.

Seeing that Bee couldn't answer, Mizunuki Ryosuke didn't say much, but simply continued to speak himself.

"Investigation is inevitable, but no matter what he finds out, the result of the logistics being cut off has already been caused."

"We need to care more about what actions and reactions Onoki will have next."

"So in the current situation, Onoki has only two choices."

Mizunuki Ryosuke said slowly, and a sharp light suddenly burst out from his eyes.

"You mean—"

"Onoki will withdraw his troops?"

Under Mizunuki Ryosuke's guidance, Bee gradually came to Mizunuki Ryosuke's train of thought.

But who would have thought that after hearing this, Mizunuki Ryosuke shook his head.

"What you said is only one of the choices, but I am more inclined to the other choice."

"Onoki will make a desperate gamble and launch a large-scale campaign against Kumogakure."

Mizunuki Ryosuke said with a calm tone, but a sharp color flashed in his eyes.

"This—"

"Why would it be like this?"

Bee's expression was stunned; he never expected Mizunuki Ryosuke to say this.

If Onoki makes a desperate gamble and launches a campaign against Kumogakure, then wouldn't their act of attacking Iwagakure's logistics harm Kumogakure?

Bee was puzzled and full of confusion in his heart.

"You can't understand because you haven't thought it through."

"At this time, for Onoki, the most important thing is not to find out who cut off Iwagakure's logistics supplies."

"For him, the most important thing is—time."

After finishing, the corners of Mizunuki Ryosuke's mouth curled into an arc, and the things revealed in his eyes made Bee somewhat palpitated.

·· ····Seeking flowers··· ····

This kind of depth and mystery is the poppy that makes Bee both fearful and fascinated.

"Then shouldn't we rush back to the Land of Lightning now?"

"Why do you still want to stay in the Land of Frost?"

A conversation not only didn't solve Bee's doubts but made Bee's heart even more confused.

Continuing to stay in the Land of Frost like this, wouldn't it not only be easy to encounter danger but also delay the war opportunity?

"You are wrong, Bee."

"Although the battlefield is far away in the Land of Lightning, the key to whether this campaign can be won—"

"Is right under your feet and mine."

Mizunuki Ryosuke's smile became more and more brilliant. At this moment, he was like a painter sketching in the fields, and the temperament on his body returned to his usual gentleness.

Hearing Mizunuki Ryosuke's words, Bee's pupils shrank slightly, and an absurd feeling gradually emerged in his heart.

Land of Fire, Konoha Village.

An urgent piece of intelligence was slapped on the desk of the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Recently, the expression of this Third Hokage had become much more haggard.

Konoha's wars against Sunagakure and Amegakure had both fallen into a stalemate, and the pressure of daily battlefield reports and logistics disposal made Sarutobi Hiruzen somewhat exhausted.

In this situation, Sarutobi Hiruzen also had to spare time to deal with the internal contradictions of Konoha.

The stalemate of the front-line battle situation made the Hyuga and Uchiha clans dissatisfied with the work of suppressing the rebellions of small countries and began to frequently pressure the village, trying to go to the battlefield to get a share of the pie.

Such a situation also made Sarutobi Hiruzen very annoyed.

Sarutobi Hiruzen opened the urgent intelligence. He thought it was another secret report from the Sunagakure and Kumogakure front lines, but the content after opening it made him somewhat surprised.

"Land of Frost—"

Sarutobi Hiruzen subconsciously puffed on the pipe in his hand, a deep look flashed in his eyes, and then he ordered the Anbu members beside him to summon Shimura Danzo.

A moment later, a middle-aged man with a cross-shaped scar on his chin pushed open the door of the Hokage's office and sat down on the sofa opposite Sarutobi Hiruzen without ceremony.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was also not polite, directly throwing the secret letter in his hand to Shimura Danzo.

Shimura Danzo took the secret letter lightly and read the content slowly. A moment later, a sharp light suddenly burst out from his eyes.
