This Water Shadow is very strong, but overly cautious.

"In the Anbu, my people have also begun to spread the truth to the Anbu ninjas who are not Yagura Karuta's confidants."

"Next, what do you think we should do?"

It seemed that the previous advice made Mizunoe Taki feel that Ryosuke was very intelligent.

At this moment, he has begun to actively seek advice from Ryosuke.

(Please give me flowers, votes, and support, thank you!).

Chapter 44: Means to Increase Winning Rate

In response to Mizunoe Taki's proactive request for advice, Ryosuke remained calm on the surface, but he secretly sighed in his heart.

The perfect "golden mean" strategy he had been pursuing for many years was finally partially exposed.

I'm afraid that after this incident, in the heart of the Third Mizukage and Mizunoe clan leader, Ryosuke's previous precious "ordinary" and mediocre image will be gone forever.

Instead, he was given the title of a "despicable" genius.

Ryosuke was secretly mourning in his heart, but Taki Mizunotsuki was naturally unaware of it. On the contrary, he was still looking at Ryosuke Mizunotsuki with burning eyes, eagerly craving Ryosuke's strategy.

However, the current "exposure level" is still within Ryosuke's acceptable range.

After all, he still has countless cards in his deck.

When the nest is overturned, all the eggs will remain intact. In order to preserve his peaceful life in Kirigakure, Ryosuke had to show some tricks.

"Judging from the current situation, we have already gained a certain advantage."

"The situation has also changed from 'the enemy is hidden and we are in the open' to 'waiting for the enemy to tire themselves out.'"

"Tomorrow the situation will explode completely. The current time is not enough to support us to continue to make large-scale plans."

"So I don't recommend continuing to take the initiative at this point in time, to avoid exposing our true identity and potentially alerting Yagura Kujira."

Mizunoe Ryosuke spoke slowly and calmly.

Hearing what Mizunoe Ryosuke said, Mizunoe Taki nodded slightly, as if he agreed with Ryosuke's opinion.

After all, he does have the advantage now.

"Ryosuke, what do you think are the chances of winning tomorrow's battle?"

Mizunoe Taki asked Ryosuke a very direct question.

In Mizunoe Taki's mind, he already knew the other party's movements in advance, and with Ryosuke's plan, he got the support of Hozuki, so he had at least a 70% chance of winning.

Even so, he still wanted to hear Ryosuke's opinion.

After hearing what Mizunoe Taki said, Ryosuke didn't dare to tell the truth.

In Ryosuke's opinion, if he himself does not take action, the Third Mizukage Taki Mizunoe's winning rate is at most 30%.

If there is no help from Gui Lantern, the chances would probably be only 10%.

But even though he thought so in his heart, Mizunoe Ryosuke's tone changed when the words came to his lips.

"Fifty-fifty."

"We don't know what other cards the other party has, and everything is still uncertain."

Hearing Ryosuke Mizunoe's somewhat "conservative" chances of winning, Taki Mizunoe frowned.

However, he did not ask Mizunoe Ryosuke the basis for his judgment.

"We are unable to deploy any major movements at the moment."

"But I still have a plan that can slightly increase our chances of winning."

Before Mizunoe Taki could speak, Ryosuke continued.

"Oh? What is it?"

Mizunoe Taki raised his eyebrows and looked at Mizunoe Ryosuke with some anticipation.

After all, who would complain that their winning rate is too high?

"Before this, I was the first to take care of the enemy's foreign reinforcements from the Iwagakure outside the village."

"It's impossible to keep this secret from Karatachi Yagura for too long. It will be exposed sooner or later."

"I predict that before daybreak, Karatachi Yagura will definitely confirm the status of this Iwagakure team."

"By then, the destruction of the Iwagakure might be discovered by Karatachi Yagura, which would then alert him."

After hearing what Mizunoe Ryosuke said, Mizunoe Taki also realized the seriousness of the matter.

"What should I do?"

When Mizunoe asked Ryosuke questions as usual, he knew that the young man in front of him must have a solution.

"The destruction of the Iwagakure ninja cannot be concealed as long as Karatachi Yagura investigates it."

"But I have a way to delay Karuju Yagura and prevent him from investigating this matter."

"Then the existence of the Iwagakure ninja may continue to be false information to confuse Yagura."

Mizunoe Ryosuke said this, with a gleam of brilliance in his eyes.

If the matter of the Rock Ninja could be overcome, the Third Mizukage's chances of winning would be increased by at least half a percent.

"I guess this is to prevent excessive contact from increasing the risk of exposure for this group of Iwagakure."

"Karoju Yagura will never contact them frequently. He will only notify them a reasonable time before something breaks out."

"And the best time is tonight to early tomorrow morning."

"If we can hold back Karatachi Yagura during this period, he won't be able to receive any feedback from these Iwagakure ninjas."

Mizunoe Ryosuke's in-depth narration made Mizunoe Taki's eyes flash with some deep thought, and he seemed to roughly understand Ryosuke's thoughts.

But now there is still one most important question, how to hold back Karujutsu Yagura?

Or who is the person to hold back Karatachi Yagura?

Then, Mizunoe Ryosuke asked a key question.

"Is Squad Leader Maeda reliable?"

Hearing this, Mizunoe Taki closed his eyes, as if thinking about the feasibility of the matter.

The reason why Mizunoe Ryosuke asked this question was because he knew the "neutral" attitude of Master Maeda during the previous Jonin Exam and was not sure about the other party's current position.

Therefore, he could only ask the Mizukage questions and leave the matter to the Mizukage to judge.

"I understand what you mean."

"I believe Maeda, there will be no problem at this critical moment!"

Mizunoe Taki said in a decisive tone, and it seemed that he had great trust in this senior ninja squad leader.

Seeing the look on the Third Mizukage's face, Ryosuke knew that the other party understood his strategy.

Mizunoe Ryosuke also knew that at such a critical moment, the trust shown by the Third Mizukage would definitely not be aimless.

Master Maeda should be fine.

That's right, Mizunoe Ryosuke's strategy is to use Maeda Genshi, who is the "third in command", to hold back Karatachi Yagura, who is the "second in command".

Relying on the influence of the leader of the ninja squad, Karatachi Yagura will certainly be careful in dealing with Maeda Genshi, and at the same time try to win him over to his own camp.

With Maeda Genshi as a distraction, Karutagi Yagura would definitely not be able to get away to deal with other things.

With this back and forth, the goal of delaying Karatachi Yagura was achieved.

As long as Master Maeda could hold out until noon, the mission would be accomplished.

(Please give me flowers, votes, and support! Thank you!).

Chapter 45, the prologue gradually opens

Two hours later.

As time went on into the night, the entire Kirigakure Ninja Village was shrouded in an eerie silence.

Almost all the ninjas with names and surnames were acting in secret.

If someone could investigate the entire Hidden Mist Village, they would be surprised to find something.

Anbu, Mizukage Guard, Mizunoe Family, Kaguya Family, Hozuki Family

Almost all the powerful organizations, families and institutions in the Hidden Mist Village have taken action in secret.

In order to conceal their activities, almost all ninjas acted in secret, trying their best to make their actions as covert as possible.

On the other side, Kirigakure's Anbu Minister, Karatachi Yagura, was already extremely busy.

The matter was of great importance, so he could only coordinate it himself and try his best to arrange everything so as not to miss the important matter.

"What's going on with the Iwagakure?"

Karatachi Yagura asked the Anbu ninja who was in charge of communicating with the Iwagakure ninja beside him, his tone full of impatience.

"We are still in contact, but no information has been sent back yet."

The Anbu ninja lowered his head and replied to Karatachi Yagura in a somewhat nervous tone.

Upon hearing this, a hint of suspicion and impatience flashed in Karuju Yagura's eyes.

It seems that he has become suspicious of the abnormal condition of the Iwagakure.

But just as he was about to order an investigation, an Anbu ninja came quickly.

"Mr. Minister!"

"Jōnin Squad Leader Maeda Genshi suddenly came over and said he wanted to see you."

The Anbu reported to Karatachi Yagura at an extremely fast pace.

The words that were about to come out of Yagura's mouth were interrupted. After hearing the report from the Anbu ninja, Yagura's brows first wrinkled into the shape of a "川" character, and then quickly relaxed.

"Why did this old fellow come to see me at this time?"

"Did he smell something? Or did he have some information in his hands?"

"will not"

As if he had thought of some possibility, Karuta Yagura's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

At this moment, Karuta Yagura was full of alertness and doubts. The sudden arrival of Master Maeda late at night became an urgent matter that he needed to deal with, and he had to go and deal with it in person!

"Take me there quickly!"

Karuju Yagura knew that he could not delay and had to test the attitude of the old man Maeda Genshi as soon as possible.

"Contact the Iwagakure ninja as soon as possible and give them an ultimatum!"

"Tell them not to waste time and get into position as soon as possible!"

After saying a word to the Anbu responsible for contacting the Iwagakure, Karatachi Yagura followed the Anbu who came to deliver the message to meet Master Maeda.

Master Maeda stood in the Anbu building with his hands behind his back, looking at a huge word "Water" hanging in the center of the Anbu building.

This word seemed familiar to Master Maeda.

Because there is also a huge word "water" hanging at the entrance of the Shuiying Building.

When Yagura Karuta compared his Anbu building to the Mizukage building, his specific thoughts were completely revealed.

If it were before, Master Maeda would not only pretend not to see it.

Even in the heart of Master Maeda, there was some thought that he was slightly biased towards Karuta Yagura.

but now

I have to say that Karuta Yagura should never have done anything like that, and he should not have touched the bottom line of Kirigakure.

Thinking of the information he had just obtained from the Mizukage, Master Maeda secretly said what a pity.

Soon, a thin figure with a baby face came in front of Master Maeda.

It was Yagura Karuta, and behind him were two Anbu ninjas.

When Karuta Yagura saw that Master Maeda came alone, his doubts became even greater.

"Captain Maeda, what brings you here alone in the middle of the night?"

As he walked, Karuta Yagura asked Master Maeda with a smile.
