Chapter 926

Although it was just ordinary sunlight, for this country that had long been accustomed to drizzling rain, it was so rare and precious.

At this moment, a man wearing a pitch-black rubber raincoat and having light green hair was standing in the sunlight with a look of horror, his eyes full of disbelief.

A few wet water marks wound down from his raincoat, finally gathering into a drop of water, and then dripped down.

"Drip drop."

The water drop reflected colorful colors under the direct sunlight, just like the mixed state of mind of the man at this moment. Finally, the water drop fell to the ground and merged with the muddy earth.

And opposite the green-haired man, the young man wearing a white imperial robe still stood there faintly, with his consistent unfathomable smile on his face, making people unable to fathom the depth of it at all.

After a long silence, Salamander Hanzo finally spoke.

"Why should I believe you?"

Although Hanzo pretended to be calm, from his hoarse trembling voice, Mizunuki Ryosuke easily read the agitation of his emotions.

It was to be expected; anyone facing such a dramatic truth would inevitably be excited and unable to calm down.

But who knew, hearing Hanzo's inquiry, Mizunuki Ryosuke had no intention of explaining at all. I saw him just shake his head faintly and then say.

"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not."

"The facts are just so."

"Instead of asking me here, you should ask yourself."

"Now, can you still believe in yourself?"

Mizunuki Ryosuke was still smiling, speaking faintly in a calm voice.

Hearing these words from Mizunuki Ryosuke, Salamander Hanzo's body trembled violently. The calmness he pretended to have disappeared without a trace, replaced by a look of complexity on his face.

Yes, when did he, Salamander Hanzo, start pinning his hopes on others?

What believe or not believe—this was simply the most cowardly questioning.

Regarding everything Mizunuki Ryosuke said, he should have had his own judgment on whether to believe it or not.

If he believed it, then he should just go and do it. Things were originally like this, and how to do it, he should naturally have his own way.

And if he didn't believe it, would he believe it again because Mizunuki Ryosuke made some explanation? Of course not!

Then since that was the case, what was the point of him making such dry questioning? Wasn't this just showing his weak side in front of Mizunuki Ryosuke?

Or rather, this failure had already destroyed all the self-confidence Salamander had built up before.

"Tch!"

Suddenly, Salamander Hanzo laughed. This was a smile full of bitterness and irony.

I don't know if he was laughing at Mizunuki Ryosuke on the opposite side, or at himself who just asked the question.

"Hahaha!!!"

Laughing and laughing, the low bitter laugh suddenly turned into three loud laughs. Salamander Hanzo pulled out the sickle he had just inserted into the ground and carried it on his shoulder.

In this process, Mizunuki Ryosuke just looked at Salamander Hanzo faintly, neither disturbing him nor expressing his own opinion, just watching this down-and-out demigod of the Ninja World with a smile.

"I have made Lord Mizukage laugh."

Salamander Hanzo's expression returned to normal, and the aura on his body gradually returned to normal. Compared to the unbalanced state just now, this showed that he had adjusted his mentality.

It also showed that Salamander Hanzo officially acknowledged his failure.

Failure is actually not terrible, because in essence, it is just the result of an experience.

And what is truly terrible is that because of the result of a past failure, it interferes with the future that is about to happen.

Either unable to face the failure squarely, immersed in the past failure and unable to free oneself, thus walking the old path again to meet a new failure.

Or being knocked down directly by the failure, and never recovering from then on.

And the correct way to face failure is never to be stubborn and unwilling to admit defeat, but to let go.

And only by letting go can one pick it up again.

Under Mizunuki Ryosuke's guidance, Salamander Hanzo gradually understood some things in his heart, but for all this, he had a place he could never figure out, which was lingering in his heart and had to be spat out.

Since he had already thought of it, Salamander Hanzo simply chose to ask it directly.

"Mizunuki Ryosuke, what exactly are you doing all this for?"

Hanzo looked directly into Mizunuki Ryosuke's eyes without any avoidance, seemingly wanting to see something from these gentle eyes, but in the end, he still gained nothing.

Salamander Hanzo's eyes were sharp, without any retreat, quite aggressive.

Regarding this, Mizunuki Ryosuke did not intend to hide it either, but spoke two words to Salamander Hanzo with a sincere expression.

"Peace."

Hearing Ryosuke's words, Salamander Hanzo's eyes were full of strangeness, and his stiff face was full of a look that wanted to mock but couldn't laugh.

Salamander Hanzo did not speak, just glanced at Mizunuki Ryosuke.

Almost instantly, Mizunuki Ryosuke knew the meaning in Hanzo's eyes. Salamander Hanzo's eyes seemed to be saying: "With your style, you are worthy of talking about peace?"

Seeing this, Ryosuke shook his head helplessly.

Regardless of what his original intention was, once his goal was achieved, the Ninja World would naturally be at peace. Isn't this "peace"?

Of course, he would certainly not explain the details to Salamander Hanzo one by one.

"Leader Hanzo, do you still remember a sentence I once said to you."

"The frog in the well will never understand how vast the sky outside the well is."

"He will always only feel that this square on the well is everything in the sky, and it is not as vast as the space at the bottom of the well."

Mizunuki Ryosuke did not defend himself, but brought up the old matter again.

That day, when Mizunuki Ryosuke talked about this matter to Salamander Hanzo, Salamander Hanzo only felt that Mizunuki Ryosuke was belittling him.

Mentioning these words again today, Salamander Hanzo had a different understanding.

"When I said this, I was not trying to belittle you and the Rain ninjas, but just stating a fact."

"The origin of the Rain ninjas limited your vision, allowing you to only see the sky of this one country and one place in the Land of Rain."

"Do you think that as long as you can lead the Land of Rain to independence, you can obtain so-called 'peace'?"

"It's simply a big mistake."

"As strong as Konoha, as strong as the other four great ninja villages, who dares to say that they have truly obtained peace now?"

"Even if the God of Shinobi Senju Hashirama and the Ninja World's Asura Uchiha Madara joined forces, they only brought decades of false peace to Konoha."

"Wanting to strive for so-called 'peace' for one country and one village is always just false peace."

"Only bringing peace to the Ninja World is true peace."

After Mizunuki Ryosuke's vigorous words, Salamander Hanzo had already been stunned in place, silent.

At this moment, he only felt that compared to the man opposite him, he was so insignificant.
