Chapter 964
"And this is the real reason why the Rock Ninja would invade you."
"Whatever attraction the Seven-Tails and other things bring, they are all just extras."
Ryosuke did not hide anything and directly told Shibuki the reason for everything. Hearing this, Shibuki was stunned; he hadn't figured out the connections earlier, not because he was too stupid.
It was because the Waterfall Ninja had been at peace for too long and had not experienced war for too long, which was why he hadn't thought in this direction at all.
Now that Mizunuki Ryosuke had suddenly said it, he finally realized and understood where the problem lay.
"Let's talk about the Waterfall Ninja; no matter how you look at it, the Land of Waterfalls has unique 'advantages'."
"It seems that with these advantages, the Waterfall Ninja should naturally be favored by 'peace'."
"In terms of environment, the Land of Waterfalls has abundant water systems, and the Waterfall of Waterfall is a natural barrier that is easy to defend and hard to attack."
"In terms of strength, the Waterfall Ninja themselves stand at the forefront of small countries, plus the existence of the Seven-Tails."
"Small countries cannot be compared to the Waterfall Ninja and dare not rashly make an enemy of them; and large countries, considering their own stature and the existence of the Seven-Tails, will not choose to act against the Waterfall Ninja."
"Because of these reasons, in the last Ninja World War, even though the flames of war burned to the Five Great Nations, the Waterfall Ninja were still able to stay out of it."
Mizunuki Ryosuke said leisurely, analyzing everything about the Waterfall Ninja with great insight.
Hearing Ryosuke's words, the Waterfall Ninja group looked at each other; Mizunuki Ryosuke was right, but they didn't understand what the point of mentioning these things was now.
"But what was the result? The Land of Waterfalls, which should have been the most 'peaceful' place, what does it look like now?"
Unexpectedly, Ryosuke continued, his tone changing abruptly.
His words also made Shibuki's expression change drastically; he seemed to understand what Mizunuki Ryosuke was trying to say.
"The result proves that under the drive of the general trend of the Ninja World, the 'peace' that the Waterfall Ninja had been maintaining was such a ridiculous thing."
"As long as a large country is willing to lower its stature and take the initiative to attack, all the factors that previously promoted peace in the Land of Waterfalls are just jokes."
"Seemingly good strength will only be easily crushed; and the so-called terrain that is easy to defend and hard to attack is not even worth mentioning."
"In fact, even one of the Five Great Nations, the Rock Ninja of the Land of Earth, has fallen to this state under the sweep of the Ninja World War."
"Why do you think the Waterfall Ninja can get so-called peace?"
·· ····Seeking flowers··· ····
After these words, Shibuki's face was pale, and the other Waterfall Ninja elders were even more dejected.
"With the Rock Ninja breaking the 'peace myth' of the Waterfall Ninja this time, how do you think other forces in the Ninja World will think?"
"Will they think that the Waterfall Ninja, who looked strong, are actually just an empty shell?"
"Some things only have the difference between the first time and countless times; do you think the flames of war will continue to stay away from the Land of Waterfalls in the future?"
Mizunuki Ryosuke continued to speak eloquently, his expression as if he were just telling a story he had heard that had nothing to do with him.
"As for the strength you just mentioned..."
"I ask you, what is called having strength? Can having strength bring peace?"
While speaking, Mizunuki Ryosuke suddenly raised his hand and pointed at the Waterfall Ninja leader Shibuki; Shibuki's expression changed drastically.
There was no other reason: the Waterfall Ninja elder lying on the ground was killed directly by Mizunuki Ryosuke with one finger.
Fortunately, this time, Mizunuki Ryosuke really just looked at him...
... pointed at him, and had no intention of acting.
Shibuki saw that Mizunuki Ryosuke had no intention of acting, and only then did he come to his senses and think about Ryosuke's words.
"The Five Great Nations can be considered to have strength, so look at the Rock Ninja, and what about Konoha, the strongest of the Great Nations?"
"Do you think Konoha of the Land of Fire, in all its majesty, would be invaded because it lacks strength?"
"The strong will demand from the weak and launch wars; and the weak will rise up to resist because of the persecution of the strong."
"War is therefore cyclical, never-ending, and the Waterfall Ninja of the Land of Waterfalls cannot be spared!"
Mizunuki Ryosuke once again revealed the truth of the Ninja World; it was still the principle of the strong preying on the weak, but it sounded deafening.
As Mizunuki Ryosuke stopped speaking, the banquet hall fell into a long silence.
When the nest is overturned, are there any intact eggs? Mizunuki Ryosuke's meaning was very clear: even if the Waterfall Ninja were in a seemingly comfortable "middle ground" in the Ninja World, they would still be forced into the flames of war because of the sweep of the Ninja World's turmoil.
And for everyone present, at least none of them wanted war, which was inseparable from the atmosphere of the Waterfall Ninja living in a corner for many years. ===== CHAPTER 966 =====
