This Water Shadow is very strong, but overly cautious.

"You watched the entire battle between the Rain Ninja and Konoha. Don't you know what happened?"

Salamander Hanzo said coldly, staring at Mizunoe Ryosuke, as if asking for an answer.

On the other side, although the Third Kazekage did not speak, the meaning revealed by his expression was roughly the same, and he was also waiting for Mizunoe Ryosuke's words.

At the same time, through Hanzo's words, everyone at the table also learned for the first time that Mizunoe Ryosuke had actually been present during the battle between Konoha and the Rain Ninja.

Seeing this, Mizunoe Ryosuke not only did not feel any sense of urgency, but instead smiled and spoke in a nonchalant tone.

"Haha."

"I wonder what's going on?"

"So it turns out that Mr. Hanzo is the one who is confused by the situation."

Mizunoe Ryosuke's words made Hanzo of the Salamander even more confused, because he had dealt with Mizunoe Ryosuke many times, so he knew very well that Ryosuke's tricks were unfathomable.

For a moment, Hanzo was a little hesitant, not sure whether Mizunoe Ryosuke was deliberately being mysterious, so he didn't dare to answer.

"Those in power are confused?"

On the other hand, the more stubborn Third Kazekage obviously did not have such concerns, and he chose to ask directly.

"Hahaha!!!!"

Hearing this question, the smile on Mizunoe Ryosuke's face became even more joyful.

Suddenly, the Third Kazekage's brows furrowed even more.

Fortunately, Mizunoe Ryosuke's laughter only lasted for a moment, and he quickly stopped laughing and spoke again.

"A mere Rain Ninja, besides Hanzo of the Salamander, is there anyone else worthy of being called a fighting force?"

"Right now, I see that Hanzo's aura is strong and his fighting power is sufficient. This is enough. In this situation, how can we say that the Rain Ninja's fighting power is affected?"

"A single demigod in the ninja world can defeat an entire village of Rain Ninja!"

Ryosuke's voice remained lukewarm, but the meaning behind his words was so arrogant that it silenced everyone at the table.

Because what he meant was that, among all the Rain Ninja, except for Hanzo of the Salamander, no other ninja was worthy of his attention!

"boom!!!"

A violent slapping sound was heard immediately, and the dull sound made everyone at the table clearly feel the violent shaking of the table in front of them.

If the table in front of me had not been made of fine steel, it would have probably fallen into pieces.

No need to think too much, the person who made this noise was none other than Hanzo the Salamander!

At this moment, Hanzo had already stood up angrily, and slapped the table in front of him without any hesitation. His eyes were fixed on Mizunoe Ryosuke, and his eyes were wide open as if he really wanted to bite someone.

In response to this, Mizunoe Ryosuke still just smiled gently and looked at Hanzo of the Salamander indifferently. He neither scolded him nor made any attempt to make amends or take back what he had just said.

The two looked at each other for a moment, one with furious eyes and the other with gentle and elegant manner.

It's like water and fire are completely different.

Seeing this situation, the Third Raikage didn't know why Mizunoe Ryosuke suddenly became so reckless, and although the Amegakure ninja's combat power was indeed very average, there was no need for Mizunoe Ryosuke to openly belittle the Amegakure ninja in front of Hanzo of the Salamander.

Seeing that Ryosuke didn't speak again, he could only attribute this to Ryosuke Mizunoe's occasional "youthful recklessness".

So, in order to avoid an awkward silence, the Third Raikage prepared to speak up to smooth things over.

But something strange happened. Before the Third Raikage could speak, Hanzo of the Salamander on the other side made another move.

"Humph!"

However, Hanzo's action was not to leave the table angrily and draw his sword as everyone imagined. Instead, he snorted coldly and sat down again.

Seeing this, everyone, including the Third Raikage, was stunned.

Is this still the same Hanzo they remember? Even when people are belittling Rain Ninja like this, how can he still sit still?

Recalling the various behaviors of Hanzo Salamander who had been angry with everything and even the air, everyone didn't know how to start talking for a moment.

;=

After all, this "demigod of the ninja world" has clashed with the samurai general Mifune, the third Raikage Ai, and the third Kazekage Satetsu continuously since he came to the Land of Iron.

And every time his attitude was extremely strong, with no intention of giving in at all.

Chapter 553, Combat Power

After Hanzo of the Salamander had caused trouble with powerful people from all sides several times, he has established an extremely tough image in everyone's mind.

And what was going on now? Mizunoe Ryosuke scolded the Rain Ninja right in front of him, and this tough-minded "demigod" just slammed the table and let it go?

This unscientific!

Ignoring the strange looks from everyone, Hanzo just folded his arms and sat there without saying a word.

Only on the other side, the Third Raikage looked at Mizunoe Ryosuke who still had a calm expression, and then looked at Hanzo of the Salamander who had a proud look, and seemed to suddenly understand something in his heart.

It is true that Mizunoe Ryosuke's words sounded like he was belittling the Rain Ninja.

But having said that, although his words belittled the Rain Ninja, they invisibly elevated the position of Hanzo of the Salamander.

Especially in Ryosuke's words, he also gave the evaluation of Hanzo of the Salamander that "one man is worth a village", which is a very high evaluation.

In this way, it is true that Mizunoe Ryosuke did belittle the Rain Shinobi, but he also took the opportunity to praise Hanzo of the Salamander.

Although to everyone, Mizunoe Ryosuke's words sounded like contempt for Hanzo of the Salamander, but in Hanzo of the Salamander's ears, perhaps there was another layer of meaning that he cared more about.

Is this the praise given by Mizunoe Ryosuke that "one man is worth a village"?

It is also because of this that Hanzo, the always-defiant Salamander, actually accepted what Mizunoe Ryosuke said.

Thinking of this, the Third Raikage was a little amazed. Looking at Mizunoe Ryosuke's indifferent expression, he felt more and more that the young Mizukage's skills were unfathomable.

At first glance, it seemed like just a matter of one or two sentences, but in order to achieve the current effect, the grasp of human nature was simply monstrous.

In particular, one must understand the inner character and temperament of Hanzo Salamander, as well as his psychological thoughts to a very high level.

Otherwise, it is very likely that one sentence will backfire and make Salamander Hanzo walk away in anger.

Of course, Mizunoe Ryosuke had no idea what the Third Raikage was thinking.

Of course, even if he knew, he probably wouldn't care too much.

Just as the Third Raikage guessed, the reason why Mizunoe Ryosuke dared to be so ostentatious was that he had a grasp of Hanzo's inner thoughts.

On the one hand, Mizunoe Ryosuke is familiar with the original work and has a very clear understanding of Hanzo's character and psychology.

On the other hand, from one detail, it can be seen that Hanzo Salamander himself is undoubtedly extremely disappointed with Rain Shinobi at this moment.

Even though the Rain Ninja were defeated and their strength was greatly reduced, even so, Hanzo of the Salamander would not be unable to gather a guard and come to the Iron Kingdom alone.

After all, it's just a matter of saving face, and there's no need for Hanzo to be so embarrassed about his own reputation.

But the reality is, he did just that. What does this mean? It means that Hanzo was too lazy to even bring a few Rain Ninjas to save face.

Considering the helplessness and struggle of Hanzo Salamander during the battle against Konoha, it is not difficult to guess the inner thoughts of this demigod of the ninja world.

This ninja hero, who was fed up with being dragged down by his stupid teammates, probably already felt disgust towards the Rain Ninja deep down in his heart.

So the words that Mizunoe Ryosuke said just now, which were openly derogatory but secretly praising, only made Hanzo of the Salamander angry for a moment, but then the more he thought about it, the more he felt that what Mizunoe Ryosuke said made sense.

If it weren't for the incompetence of his teammates in Rain Ninja, how could he have ended up in this situation?

From Sunagakure to Konoha, Hanzo was the only one who was holding on during the two and a half wars. It is an indisputable fact that one person can defeat an entire village.

So at this moment, although Ryosuke's words sounded a bit harsh, deep in Hanzo's heart, he actually developed an inexplicable feeling of "confidant" towards Mizunoe Ryosuke.

In addition, Hanzo of the Salamander was afraid of Ryosuke Mizunoe, so there was no way he would attack Ryosuke no matter what.

"As for the Rain Ninja, as long as Leader Hanzo is there, their fighting power will be sufficient."

"I think as long as Leader Hanzo appears on the battlefield, Konoha will never dare to underestimate him."

Seeing Hanzo sitting down, Mizunoe Ryosuke spoke again, his tone full of seriousness, so that everyone could hear that he was not joking.

And the most important thing is that after hearing this, Hanzo did not even say a word to refute, obviously agreeing with this result.

Seeing this, everyone at the table looked at each other and no longer said anything.

There is no need to say much about the weight of a super shadow-level fighter.

Take the third Raikage in the original work as an example. The third Raikage was able to fight against 10,000 Rock Ninja for a day and a night. Even if Hanzo is a little weaker, it should be no problem for him to block 7,000 or 8,000, right?

What's more, the deadly poison carried by Hanzo of the Salamander is a bug in group battles, so when Mizunoe Ryosuke said that Hanzo is worth an entire village, it was not a joke.

"Although Sunagakure was defeated by Konoha in this battle, as far as I know, the main losses of Sunagakure were concentrated on the puppeteers."

"The rest of the troops, especially the elite ninjas skilled in sand manipulation, suffered almost no losses."

"Lord Fengying, I think what I said is correct."

As he spoke, Mizunoe Ryosuke started talking about the situation in Sunagakure.

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Third Kazekage. He didn't expect that Mizunoe Ryosuke knew so much about the situation inside Sunagakure.

On the one hand, the information about Mizunoe Ryosuke naturally comes from the intelligence collection of the White Shark Force.

On the other hand, it was collected through casual conversation with Ye Cang yesterday afternoon.

Ye Cang, who was obviously a little immature in verbal confrontation, unknowingly got a lot of information out of him with just a few words from Mizunoe Ryosuke without even realizing it.

Seeing that his past had been exposed, there was no point in hiding it any longer, so the Third Kazekage did not object, but nodded lightly.

I'm afraid the Third Kazekage would never have dreamed that the one who helped Mizunoe Ryosuke uncover his past was the loyal guard behind him.

"I won't say much about the situation in Kumogakure."

Finally, Mizunoe Ryosuke turned his gaze to the Third Raikage standing beside him, nodded lightly, and then said nothing more.

After all, the Third Raikage had already made it clear that he was supporting him, so there was no need for him to uncover the Third Raikage's past.

After talking about Kumogakure, Mizunoe Ryosuke's gaze passed directly over Shibuki and Mifune, obviously not intending to take the combat power of these two families into account.

Seeing this, Shibuki, who had been terrified, breathed a sigh of relief.

(Qian Zhaohao)

"What I just said is the power we have in Konoha."

"What I want to tell you is that our combat capability is more than that."

"The ones who attacked Konoha this time weren't just the four families of Kumogakure, Sandagakure, Amegakure, and Mistagakure."

"There is another force that will help us tie down a large amount of Konoha's combat power."

After summarizing the combat power of several key forces at the banquet, Mizunoe Ryosuke suddenly said something that no one expected.

Upon hearing this, everyone, including the Third Raikage, frowned again.

Apart from the other four families from the Five Great Nations, the only other ninjas in the ninja world who are qualified to fight against Konoha are at most one more Rain Ninja.

At the current Ninja World Conference, almost all the major forces except Konoha are present. Where can Mizunoe Ryosuke 975628$841 come up with a force that can tie down Konoha's large combat power?

But this Mizukage has always been unfathomable and it doesn't seem like he's just talking nonsense. So which force is he talking about?

Everyone was in confusion.

Chapter 554, Reasonable

In the ninja world, most of the forces that can threaten Konoha are gathered here at this moment.

Apart from everyone at the banquet, Iwagakure was the only one among the five great nations who had not yet arrived.

When it comes to the Iwagakure, everyone subconsciously excludes them. They all think that the force mentioned by Mizunoe Ryosuke could never be the Iwagakure.

Because no matter how hard everyone at the table thought, they couldn't understand why Iwagakure had any reason to fight against Konoha.

After all, Iwagakure had just suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Mizunoe Ryosuke not long ago, leaving them with serious injuries and now, they were also at odds with Kumogakure and Kirigakure.

No matter what the reason or emotion is, it is impossible for Iwagakure to help Mizunoe Ryosuke to deal with Konoha at this time.

Even if this huge "Anti-Fire Alliance" really decides to take action against Konoha, it would be a good idea for the Iwagakure to not come and cause trouble and stand on that side, not to mention wanting to use the Iwagakure as a fighting force to contain Konoha.

If it’s not Iwagakure, then who else could it be?

No matter how hard everyone thought, they could not think of any force that could restrain Konoha.

It can’t be an underground exchange, right?

But everyone quickly realized the absurdity of it after thinking about it carefully.

The underground exchange itself represents the dark side of the ninja world, and its strength is indeed notorious, with many notorious Kage-level warriors hidden among them.
