Chapter 145 Hint and Explicit
The fear of death and the longing for longevity are the desires that no one can restrain. As the second-generation Hokage Senju Tomona, who lacked everything from ability to resources, from strength to rights, if he hadn't died early, I really don't know what terrible things he could research. It depends on how big a commotion was caused in the ninja world after Orochimaru perfected the reincarnation of the dirty soil, and then created the reincarnation of the dead. It can be speculated that standing on the shoulders of the giant Second Hokage, what can be researched can be seen.
Before you notice these things, you will not associate them with this aspect, but once you really hold the Tailed Beast Chakra in your hand, and deliberately study this aspect, you will find that some of them are not usually noticed. Clue.
『A lot of things really don’t fit on paper, so it’s necessary to exchange memories. 』
After carefully reading the information in his hand, Mizuki directly burned it. After cleaning up the traces, Mizuki said to Xiaochun: "We can arrange to meet as soon as possible. Be careful not to be discovered. There may be some people around us watching."
The feeling of being watched has been almost uninterrupted recently, and Mizuki couldn't tell whether it was all written by Danzo Shimura, or someone else—such as the top-notch reconnaissance.
"I know, but, Mizuki, if we just contact there like this, we will be discovered sooner or later." As for this simple contact method, under the circumstance of deliberately paying attention, it can't be kept secret for long.
"It's okay, Xiaochun, it won't be long before you need to be so troublesome." The breakthrough in the study of Tailed Beast Chakra and the analysis of natural energy and immortal mode will bring about earth-shaking changes to himself and each of his clones. Judging from the current data, it won't take long to actually achieve results.
...
There are more and more things accumulated, and more and more issues that Mizuki needs to care about. With the passage of time, the improvement of strength, and the progress of research, Mizuki's views on many things have changed, such as this If there is no considerable degree of experimentation, it is impossible to research this kind of ninjutsu. The brilliance on the surface of Konoha, and the darkness hidden behind it may not be completely absent. The existence of Shimura Danzo happens to be a typical representative of the dark side of Konoha.
Sometimes, Mizuki also feels that Shimura Danzo is a bit of a pity. He has extraordinary abilities, but wasted in conspiracy and tricks, gradually obliterating the grandeur and ambition of his youth. In the end, he still fell into greed and arrogance and couldn't extricate himself.
However, looking at the problem objectively does not affect Mizuki's attitude towards Shimura Danzo. Mizuki would never associate with such a person, and Mizuki didn't have the capital to do things like seek skin from a tiger. Just like Mizuki doesn't like Uchiha Sasuke's way of dealing with people, but occasionally he might help.
Like now, Mizuki is actually not used to dealing with too many older people. The average age of the older generation of pigs and butterflies is nearly ten years older than Mizuki's. It is quite reluctant to say that they are of the same generation. Sitting and drinking a few cups with these people, Mizuki also felt a little uncomfortable, and he was the only Chunin present, and he spoke lightly. But fortunately, with the presence of peers Hatake Kakashi and Matt Kai, Mizuki would not look particularly different. For other ideas, Mizuki also admires the way these people drink while hurting themselves.
For the two groups of people who are half a generation apart, if there is any common topic, it is actually very boring. But it's okay to deal with them, at least get acquainted with them, maybe they will be useful at any time.
"Asuma hasn't come back for a long time. What's the matter in the Land of Earth so troublesome? There's been a lot of things recently." Kakashi didn't drink much, complaining to Mizuki. In fact, at this time, calling Asma could not be better.
As a core member of the family, Inokacho is not surprising that she can understand some high-level movements of Konoha. The other Kakashi, Mizuki and Mitekai are actually involved parties. Everyone is an insider. Let’s talk about this in private. It doesn't matter if it's a secret.
"There seem to be some very strong opinions in Yanyin Village, and the requirements are very strange. The village seems to be unprepared to deal with it." Nara Shikahisa explained. With their energy, it is not surprising to know a little bit of inside information.
"It's still impossible to judge the real purpose of the other party. Now the village is a little undecided."
"Without Hokage, differences are always difficult to unify."
"This afternoon, Jiraiya-sama set off directly with Naruto." Hatake Kakashi, who was nearby to protect him, was still the instructor, and he was the first to know about Naruto's movements. "Hopefully it won't take too long."
As the overlord of the ninja world, Konoha has been vacant for Hokage for a long time, which is really not good news.
"Master Tsunade, long time no see." There are several seriously injured ninjas in the hospital who need treatment. Everyone present, including Mizuki, may have hidden dangers that may require Tsunade's return to be completely cured.
"By the way, Mizuki." Kakashi suddenly said to Mizuki, who was silently listening to everyone talking, "Is your body okay? You have been entangled with that whirlpool mask man for so long, can you still bear it?"
"It's okay." Mizuki, who just wanted to be familiar with his face, was a little helpless when Kakashi picked him up, "Although I'm not suitable for overdrawing my body for the time being, I'm not a seriously injured person who has no power to fight back."
"Ms. Mizuki's strength is also unexpected. The three of us fought hard to fight back. You can hold on for so long with two burdens alone." Except for Qiudao Dingzuo, who was hard at eating, drinking too much Kaiichi Yamanaka, who doesn't talk much, and Shikahisa Nara, who has the highest IQ, are the ones who talk the most.
"Those two are not a burden, and they can be regarded as a great help. The strength of the recent zhongnin is so strong, and it also puts a lot of pressure on me, who is not strong enough..."
For casual socializing and bragging, Mizuki can still handle it.
"Be humble. With your strength and performance, you are almost about to be promoted."
"If there is one more Jnin, our pressure will be reduced a lot." Hatake Kakashi has also felt a little overwhelmed by too many tasks recently.
"If I'm really promoted, I should also express the big meal owed to me by Qingye of the mountain city. You are welcome to bring everyone along."
"You lost a lot yesterday, and you didn't keep that avatar." Kakashi remembered this incident clearly, "It's not easy to make this avatar."
"Well, it's quite troublesome." Mizuki said truthfully, "The cost is second, the key is that it's a waste of time."
"If you don't have trouble making this, you will have trouble." Haiyi Yamanaka took a big sip of wine and said to Mizuki with a smile.
"That's right." Mizuki also raised his glass and took a sip. Although I don't like drinking very much, I drank a lot today.
Kakashi looked out the window: "It's so late, it's almost time to leave."
"That's all for today. When Tsunade-sama comes back to succeed the fifth generation, we can have another drink sometime." Nara Shikahisa and Yamanaka Kaiichi also felt that it was time to go back.
Qiu Dao Ding Zuo also agreed: "Anyway, there are people treating guests, so everyone come."
Well, Mizuki suddenly felt that Aoba Yamashiro might not be able to keep her savings.
...
"Kakashi, didn't you call me here today just to chat?"
"How should I say it?" Hatake Kakashi thought for a while and then said, "This time Tsunade-sama came back to take over as the fifth generation. She has not been in the village for a long time and she doesn't understand many things. Solving the problem is one aspect, the key is to be effective. Just like Nara Shikamaru, who performed excellently in the Chunin exam and may be recommended as a Chunin, this, you must have guessed.”
When Kakashi said this, Mizuki roughly understood. In the words of my own thinking, it is just to win over and stand in line. The supporters of the Hokage line took a fancy to their own strength and potential, and began to establish order for Konoha after Tsunade succeeded the Fifth Hokage.
However, there may be reasons for the above aspects, and more, Hatake Kakashi played a big role in it.
"Thank you, Kakashi."
"You're welcome, the village is in troubled times, and it's time to employ people. As I said earlier, it would be nice to have one more competent man. But..." Kakashi paused, "Although there are several Jnin joint recommended , However, Jonin is different from others. Whether it is a fully developed Junin or a special Jnin with special expertise, they are the biggest reliance of the village. No matter what, the final decision-making power is still in the hands of Hokage, so, in the end The testing task is absolutely indispensable."
"This is inevitable, Kakashi, I understand, you have done enough." The recognition of others is one aspect, the most important thing is that one's own strength is worthy of one's level, otherwise, it will be a disaster blessing.
"It's good that you understand." Kakashi nodded, "Prepare well in the past few days and adjust your body as soon as possible. The Hokage position will not be vacant for too long, so your preparation time will not be too long."
"Don't worry, I know what I know." Although it is said that ninja rank is not everything, Mizuki, who has long felt very inconvenient about the weak and inconvenient identity of Chunin, has long planned to wait for Tsunade to come back and find a chance to show it. It's good to be familiar, but I didn't expect Kakashi Hatake to help a lot this time.
The identity of Jonin can neither directly improve one's own strength, nor will it bring too many direct benefits to oneself. What's more, it is still an indescribable psychological effect.
Jōnin, no matter which ninja village or ninja organization he is in, is not a title that can be easily obtained. This represents a proof that a person's strength and credibility have reached a certain level. This kind of intangible convenience is far incomparable to Chunin, just like when A Fei attacked Uzumaki Naruto, if he was a Jōnin, he could even directly take over the temporary command right. In that case, he would not let himself and Uzumaki Naruto and Sasuke Uchiha are in danger.
"However, today's entertainment really revealed a lot of news..."
If Mizuki didn't notice it because he didn't know it before, but now he understands what happened, then some words can't be just listened to as casual words.
"Earth Country, Hidden Rock Village, Didara, the "Akatsuki" organization is really lingering, but this time, I plotted it in the dark. I don't know who is here this time? If there is Hidan That's fine, I really want to see what the immortality caused by the evil god's curse is. There is also Earth Resentment, such a magical thing, I really want to see it. 』
Mizuki is not arrogant enough to fight against the official members of the "Akatsuki" organization. Since the possible mission types have been hinted, judging from the strange situation of the Land of Earth, they will probably fight again. I can't drop it, and now the strength of the "Akatsuki" organization has been exposed. Even if it is the Jonin promotion test, I will definitely not give myself a mortal task. Although I don't know what it is, but I already know the "Akatsuki" organization. Mizuki, who is in intelligence, has no intention of doing mental calculations, so Mizuki is undoubtedly in an advantageous position.
...
In the early morning, Mizuki and Hatake Kakashi sat on the branches of a giant tree in the training ground, watching Uchiha Sasuke practice Chidori over and over again. Haruno Sakura on the side was treating Sasuke's arm injury.
"Don't you go down and stop it?" Seeing Sasuke's intense practice, Mizuki felt that it was a bit too much, "Look at Sakura who is almost out of healing. This is not a joke."
"Naruto is not here, and I went out with Jiraiya-sama. This kind of rare training opportunity, maybe my strength will increase a lot after I come back. Wouldn't this stimulate Sasuke even more? I want to stop it too, and I want Sasuke to listen to it." Go in." Kakashi also sighed, "I also know that I am not necessarily Uchiha Itachi's opponent, how can I teach Sasuke the strength to satisfy Sasuke? Sometimes I also feel a little uncertain."
"In this world, how many people can confirm that they are stronger than Itachi Uchiha?" Mizuki didn't quite agree with Kakashi's statement. "You also understand the truth that blue comes from blue and is better than blue."
Orochimaru, who couldn't beat Uchiha Itachi, taught Sasuke who defeated Uchiha Itachi, and even himself was killed by Sasuke.
"That's right. I was just laughing at myself just now. The task is more urgent, so I'll leave first. Take care of me for the next two days."
"Leave it to me. Be careful over the country of water. It is not an easy task to go there to investigate intelligence in the blood mist village that has been closed for so many years."
"I see……"
"Three-tailed Jinchuriki Yakura is about to die, and Terumi Mei is about to make her debut."
This female ninja, who is not inferior to Tsunade, can single-handedly end the history of the village of blood and mist in Wuyin Village, and support the battered village all the way to the Five Kages Conference. Her strength and means are quite remarkable.
Mizuki looked at Haruno Sakura and Uchiha Sasuke below, such immature strength really couldn't be connected with the hero who could seal Kaguya Otsutsuki and save the world three years later.
