Chapter 680: Constantly Increasing Pressure

"Since you already know that Kumo and Mist have formed an alliance."

"Then you wouldn't think that I, this Mizukage, am a commander without troops, right?"

Mizunuki Ryosuke still looked directly at Kitsuchi, his expression neither happy nor sad, still with a deep meaning in his eyes that made people unable to understand.

"A leaf blinds the eyes, not seeing Mount Tai"; following Mizunuki Ryosuke's words, Kitsuchi suddenly thought of something.

Mizunuki Ryosuke's terrifying combat power made Kitsuchi subconsciously ignore that the other party was also a "Mizukage" representing the highest military commander of a country!

He didn't care about Mizunuki Ryosuke in the tent, rushed out of the tent quickly, and scanned around the battlefield, seemingly looking for something.

Finally, he found his target.

On the hill on the east side of the battlefield, wisps of thick fog suddenly emerged.

Looking from afar, one could still see many flickering figures at the edge of the thick fog; against the backdrop of the fog, they looked like ghost shadows that had just floated from the Nine Netherworlds to the human world.

Looking from a distance, the thick fog covered the sky and the sun, and the figures in the fog were also hazy and uncountable, but at least one thing could be determined, that is, there were at least thousands of ninja among them.

The source of the thick fog, naturally, there is no need to say more.

Ninja Art: Hidden Mist Jutsu! This iconic jutsu with very distinctive Mist characteristics.

And the "ghost shadows" hidden in the fog naturally need no more explanation; they are, of course, the Mist ninja of Mist.

Seeing this, Kitsuchi's pupils shrank slightly.

Clearly there were 1,000 Iwa ninja as guards on the coast to the east, how could...

At this moment, Kitsuchi understood that it must be that the Mist ninja had dispatched combat power sufficient to crush the 1,000 Iwa ninja, which caused the 1,000 Iwa ninja to be completely annihilated, and not even a person came to report the news.

At least it can be determined that to be able to completely annihilate a 1,000-man Iwa ninja troop, and not even leave a single survivor, a troop possessing such combat power is absolutely the main force of Mist!

Kitsuchi had even imagined the scene of this main Mist troop crossing the sea and crushing the Iwa ninja troop on the coast.

Just because of the concealment of the Hidden Mist Jutsu, Kitsuchi couldn't judge how many people this main Mist troop had at all!

One thousand, two thousand? Or three thousand, five thousand, ten thousand?

As one of the five great ninja villages, if Mist was determined to intervene in a war, dispatching a 10,000-man ninja troop would not be difficult.

If Mist really had a 10,000-man ninja troop supporting the battlefield...

Kitsuchi didn't even dare to think in this direction for a moment.

Right now, several core members of the Iwa ninja had been defeated one after another, the dead were dead, the captured were captured, and morale had slipped to the extreme.

And on the battlefield, currently, the number of Kumo and Iwa ninja did not differ much.

According to Kitsuchi's estimation, as long as this Mist ninja troop had 3,000 people, then I fear the entire Iwa ninja front would collapse directly soon.

Looking at the white fog that covered the sky and the sun, Kitsuchi only felt that his heart had stopped beating for a moment.

In the vast Mist, under this kind of formation, would there only be a troop of less than 3,000 people coming to participate in the war? Thinking about it, it's impossible.

The spreading thick fog ultimately only stopped at the edge of the battlefield and fell into a stalemate with the Iwa ninja troop; clearly, this troop was waiting for the order to attack.

Seeing this situation, Kitsuchi knew that everything was the same as what Mizunuki Ryosuke said.

Iwagakure had completely lost the possibility of fighting to the death.

At this moment, Kitsuchi walked with heavy steps, turned around, and walked toward the inside of the tent.

He knew that there was a more cruel reality waiting for him to face.

In the tent, Mizunuki Ryosuke still maintained his previous posture sitting on the main seat, looking at Kitsuchi faintly with a light and breezy gaze without saying a word.

Under these eyes that were like torches, Kitsuchi's soul seemed to have been weighed clearly...

"Jonin Kitsuchi, what thoughts and words do you have now?"

Mizunuki Ryosuke asked faintly, but every word seemed to hit the weakest part of Kitsuchi's heart.

The one who arrived at the battlefield at this moment was naturally the Mist Anbu elite led by Hozuki Mangetsu.

Under Mizunuki Ryosuke's precise control of the war situation, Hozuki Mangetsu's entry at this time was just right.

Even if Hozuki Mangetsu only had 2,000 people under his command, under the effect of the Hidden Mist Jutsu, Kitsuchi couldn't judge the number of people at all and could only rely on subjective imagination.

As for whether the number of Mist ninja troops that Kitsuchi thought had arrived was 5,000 or 10,000, these were not important.

What was important was that the arrival of the Mist ninja troop had successfully shattered the last trace of luck in Kitsuchi's heart.

Kitsuchi fell silent; for a moment, he didn't know how to speak at all.

The situation was gone; even if he was unwilling, what could he do?

It was just that from beginning to end, he hadn't been able to understand why Mizunuki Ryosuke, since he already had the victory in his grasp, still had to go to the trouble of coming to negotiate with him.

Wouldn't it be better to just cut the weeds and eliminate the roots?

Iwagakure and Mist were originally enemies with a deep-seated hatred; would enemies give the other party a chance because of kindness?

What was his purpose? There must be a point that Kitsuchi hadn't grasped, which led to the situation being so passive.

What was it because of?

Kitsuchi fell into deep thought; as long as he could figure out Mizunuki Ryosuke's motivation, then there would still be a glimmer of life.

"Lord Mizukage, I have one thing I don't understand, please enlighten me."

"Things have come to this, why do you insist on coming to persuade surrender when you occupy such a great advantage?"

Unable to figure it out, Kitsuchi simply stopped thinking about it.

Under the circumstances of being restricted everywhere, Kitsuchi launched a final struggle, which was to directly ask Mizunuki Ryosuke. ===== CHAPTER 682 =====
