Chapter 719: , big loser, winner, and big winner

The relationship between great nations and great nations, ninja villages and ninja villages is complex and subtle.

Since Kumogakure now knows that it has no ability to wipe out Iwagakure, which has already been crippled, Kumogakure's best approach now is to "stop while ahead."

Since it has already recovered the Land of Moon and obtained a large amount of war reparations, what else is there to be dissatisfied with?

Blindly chasing and beating Iwagakure now, consuming one's own strength to let others sit back and reap the benefits, isn't this the behavior of a fool?

Such behavior is no different from cultivating the "next opponent" for Kumogakure.

Compared to the continuation of the village and the interests of the country, a momentary dispute of spirit appears so small.

Obviously, Bee never understood this thoroughly, but Huang Tu understood this under Mizunuki Ryosuke's reminder.

The "draw" method preserved Iwagakure's strength, allowing it to retreat.

But Iwagakure's behavior is actually winning the "face" but losing the "substance."

On the surface, it is a draw, but in reality, it has already lost completely.

Onoki and the Third Raikage naturally understand the way of this, and each has a tacit understanding.

Everyone also knows in their hearts that this tragic war, which lasted for nearly half a year, has completely drawn a full stop at this moment.

It ended with the tacit understanding of the three parties.

The one who lost the most miserably is naturally Iwagakure.

After one battle, not only was combat power lost countless times, but even the territory of the Land of Moon they wanted to obtain was not gained at all.

And in one battle, they used up all the family assets they had accumulated for more than ten years, completely losing the opportunity to dominate the ninja world.

And although Kumogakure was tragic, it remained in a state that was completely acceptable, which can be considered a winner.

Although combat power was damaged by nearly half, the core members didn't die, and they also obtained huge war reparations paid by Iwagakure.

It can be expected that the ten years after the end of this war will be a period of vigorous development for Kumogakure.

The final winner is naturally Kirigakure; under Mizunuki Ryosuke's planning, not only were all the previously formulated strategic goals achieved.

More importantly, he successively obtained: huge war reparations, the Four-Tails, the Five-Tails, research materials on Particle Style, Iwagakure's Earth Style secret techniques, and the Earth Style nature transformation ninjutsu, the Weighted Rock and Light-Weight Rock Jutsu.

This trip was simply a full harvest.

These are just the gains that can be seen and touched, and the gains that cannot be seen or touched are even greater.

Not to mention the results of the war and battles, in the overall situation and form, Mizunuki Ryosuke's advantage is already unimaginably huge.

In Mizunuki Ryosuke's plan, Iwagakure is just a side dish; his final goal is the current hegemon of the ninja world—Konoha!

And after successfully exerting influence on Iwagakure and Kumogakure, the subsequent situation will be even more favorable to Mizunuki Ryosuke.

Seeing that things have settled, Mizunuki Ryosuke no longer looks at the disheveled Huang Tu and Bee, who is still confused and doesn't understand, but shifts his gaze to the Third Raikage.

The matter about Iwagakure has been finished, and now it's time to talk about Kumogakure's affairs. ===== CHAPTER 721 =====
