This Mizukage Is Very Strong, But Overly Cautious

"To engage in war prematurely would waste Mist Shinobi's detached strategic position."

"Exposing Mist Shinobi to the firepower of the Four Great Ninja Villages."

"And in the beginning, preserving power and earning profits through war is indeed the smartest means."

"Not only that, the Shinobi Village, which established a cooperative relationship with us in the first stage of the war, is likely to become our ally after the war enters the second stage.

"At that time we will lead the war with the power of the alliance."

After thinking for a moment, Maeda Motoji analyzed Mizuki Ryosuke's war strategy.

As a veteran of the three dynasties of Mist Shinobi, who has personally experienced the existence of the first ninja war, Maeda Motoji's strategic vision is not unremarkable, and he has analyzed the advantages of Ryosuke's plan almost at once.

"As expected of the Great Elder, what he said is very true."

"What the elder said was exactly what I thought."

Mizuki Ryosuke smiled and nodded, approving everything Maeda Motoji analyzed.

"Where, it's all thanks to the foresight of Lord Mizukage. 99

Maeda Yuanshi shook his head, not daring to take the credit for himself.

Whether it is Ryosuke's strategic vision of predicting the subversive war, or the arrangement in advance, he is far from being able to compare.

Hearing Maeda Yuanshi's words, everyone agreed.

"I just don't know, Mizukage-sama mentioned our cooperation with Sand Shinobi."

"How will the other party repay us?"

Maeda Yuanshi asked inexplicably that since Ryosuke came to power, the chief elder Maeda Yuanshi has been assisting Ryosuke in taking charge of the village's financial problems, so what he asked was also within his duties.

It is nothing more than Maeda Yuanshi will have this question.

Sand Shinobi is located in the country of wind, where materials are scarce and financial resources are poor.

Ryosuke traded a large amount of strategic materials to the Land of Wind, and the other party is likely to be unable to give the corresponding price.

If it turns into a bad debt, then Mist Shinobi is not going to beat the dog with meat buns, and there will be no return.

"No problem. 35

"The elders don't know, Third Kazekage is a "baby"

Saying that, Ryosuke's eyes gleamed brightly.

"Oh, 々?"

Maeda Yuanshi was a little puzzled.

"Third Kazekage Sand Iron, although this man is young, he has brought his Sand Shinobi skills to the ultimate level.

"With his own unique Bloodline, he has the ability to manipulate "sand iron"."

"Although the Land of Winds is located in a desert that is extremely desolate, the sand and iron resources in the desert are extremely rich. 55

"Third Kazekage himself can pay for the iron ore in exchange for supplies.

Mizuki Ryosuke said slowly, and his words made Maeda Motoshi get more and more excited as he listened, and gradually a gleam of light appeared in his eyes.

"Mizukage-sama, do you mean...

Maeda Yuanshi suddenly thought of something, and he seemed to suddenly see the benefit of terror.

"Yes, as you think. 35

Ryosuke chuckled and nodded, confirming Maeda Motoji's conjecture.

"Huh... 99

Maeda Yuanshi let out a light breath.

"On this basis, the benefits of this battle are enough to revive Mist Shinobi!

Maeda Yuanshi expressed his sincere emotion.

It is nothing more than Maeda Yuanshi will show such an expression, it is really the interest behind this that is too exciting.

In the ninja world, the largest weapons manufacturer is not only the most powerful Fire Nation among the Five Great Powers, nor is it any one of the Five Great Powers.

But a little-known small country - the iron country!

The country of iron is located in the center of the country of fire, the country of thunder and the country of water.

Because the country of iron is the only permanent neutral country in the ninja world, not only that, but the country of iron is also the only small country whose internal affairs are not interfered by big countries.

The Iron Council has this status for three reasons.

The first is political influence. When Senju Hashirama held the first Five Shadows talks, the venue was chosen to be the permanent neutral country of iron.

Witnessed by the samurai leaders of the Iron Kingdom, the Five Shadows signed a peace treaty, opening the ninja world for decades of peace.

Because of such a history, whenever there is a dispute between a major country and a final peace negotiation, both sides generally choose the place of the peace negotiation in the neutral iron country.

Over time, none of the five great nations wanted to see the Kingdom of Iron fall into each other's hands, so they formed a constraint on each other.

A tacit understanding has also been formed between the great powers, and in order to have a place to talk during peace talks in the future, the country of iron has acquiesced in the status of "permanent neutrality".

Secondly, it is the unique "craftsman" attribute of the Iron Country.

The country of iron is where the skilled craftsmen of the ninja world live. There are a lot of craftsmen who are good at making weapons. Almost all the familiar weapons in the ninja world were born in the country of iron.

Including: the six ninja swords of the seven people of ninja swords (Samehada does not count), the sword of Thor of the Second Hokage, the flying sickle in the hands of Hanzō of the Salamander and so on.

Even the Chakra conduction dagger in the hands of Sarutobi Asuma, Feiyan, was made by craftsmen from the Iron Country.

After all, no one wants to be turned away by the famous craftsmen of the Iron Country when they need to build weapons in the future.

Iron Country not only has a high-end "artifact customization" business, but also a low-end "arms wholesale" business.

For this reason, the Iron Country is the largest producer of weapons in the Ninja world, and the high-quality weapons produced are spread across the five major countries, which also leads to almost no major country willing to offend the Iron Country.

Most importantly, the third point.

That is - force!

Although the Iron Country is only a small country, the violent occupation called "Samurai" is active in this country.

The samurai is different from the ninja, the method of using Chakra is completely different, but they have gone out of their own way.

The strength of the samurai group is strong, and its leader is generally held by a samurai with "shadow" level strength.

With the existence of the samurai group, the five major countries do not want to face this hard bone alone.

Combining these three factors, the Kingdom of Iron has become the only existence in today's ninja world that is detached from things.

And this is exactly what Maeda Yuanshi said, the source of "great benefits".

As the No. 1 weapon producer in the ninja world, what does the Iron Country lack the most?

Neither money nor combat power, but - iron ore.

Because of the unique geographical environment, the country of iron is covered by ice and snow (Wang Zhao), and it is extremely difficult to mine iron ore.

Coupled with the continuous mining over the years, the difficulty of iron ore mining in the Iron Country has skyrocketed, and the reserves of iron ore are also in jeopardy.

Therefore, the iron country can only choose to buy iron ore resources from neighboring countries.

Among the countries adjacent to the Iron Country, the small country, Yuno Country, is a tourist country famous for hot springs and vacations, and there are no iron ore resources.

Among the big countries adjacent to the Iron Country, the Water Country is an island country, and its mineral resources are relatively scarce, so it can barely be self-sufficient.

And the land of fire and the land of thunder also have their own Ninja villages that need to be supplied, and strategic materials such as ore will of course be given priority to their own homes.

As a result, the ore purchased by the Iron Country is not only difficult to meet the demand, but also has a high price.

But now, after Mizuki Ryosuke and Third Kazekage reached a partnership, it is completely different.

Ryosuke can completely buy iron ore from Third Kazekage in the Land of Winds at a low price, and then buy the Land of Iron to make a lot of profits.
