Chapter 240 Shackles of Choice

Mizuki's suggestion, Hatake Kakashi thought about it carefully and said:

"In the second case, it is quite difficult to recruit members from the seventh class. In the end, it is up to Tsunade-sama to decide. As for the first case, recommending Sasuke to become a Chunin, there is no chance now, so we have to wait for a few Chunin exams in a month."

"The Chunin exam? Then we have to go back to the second situation, and we must add temporary members to the seventh class."

"That's right. This candidate must be very cautious. Even if we are jounin, we won't be able to intervene at all."

"It's troublesome..."

"Also, Mizuki, although your position makes it difficult for me to hand over Sasuke to you, you still can't get away from the matter of the seventh class."

"And my business? Isn't it enough for me to give you advice?"

"Did you forget?" Kakashi gestured to the direction of the seventh class Shinobi, "My students are not only Sasuke and Naruto, but also Haruno Sakura, didn't you say that I am too partial, this time I can Have you found a way to make up for it? You can't go back on what you promised!"

"Haruno Sakura? Oh, that's right..." Mizuki remembered that before he became the instructor of the eighth class, Hatake Kakashi had asked Haruno Sakura to learn from Mizuki, and Mizuki agreed conditionally. It’s just that there’s been no post for so long, and after so many things, Mizuki is also in charge of teaching the eighth class of the three shinin, so I thought this matter was over, I didn’t expect Hatake Kakashi to have old things today revisit.

"I remembered?"

Mizuki smiled wryly and nodded: "Sakura has already decided?"

"I talked to her twice, told her the specific situation, and finally let her think about it herself."

"Then choose me? Tsunade-sama, one of the "Three Ninjas", is still the Fifth Hokage. I really can't think of any advantages that I have."

Kakashi patted Mizuki's shoulder: "Sakura has asked me about your situation several times, especially the last two missions, you are really showing off."

"Then what did you say?"

"Of course you're telling the truth?"

"Including my reputation? A little girl is not afraid?"

"Are you joking? Anyway, you have a professorship with Sakura for a month, and Sakura knows who you are, so it's fine to joke about that kind of nonsense, who would believe someone who knows you? What's more, you've just got married, so it's not likely that you'll take action on a little girl soon after you're newly married."

"Stop it, Kakashi." Mizuki said with some embarrassment, "That is to say, Sakura just leans towards me, but hasn't made a final decision yet?"

"Yes, but in my opinion, you'd better get ready, excellent instructor——Mizuki Joshin!"

"It's really unexpected! Is it not good to be a disciple of Hokage? Why did you choose me, an ordinary ninja with a notorious reputation?"

"What about your ingenuity? Why is it useless at this time?"

Kakashi sighed and said, "I think this is very normal, Mizuki."

"normal?"

"Well, it's not just you, I also asked Mr. Tsunade carefully, and Mr. Tsunade did not refuse."

"There is no clear promise?"

"Yes, so, after I explained the two situations to Sakura carefully, what choice do you think Sakura will make?"

Following the train of thought provided by Kakashi Hatake, Mizuki looked at Sakura who happened to be circling between Sasuke and Naruto with a smile not far away, thought for a while, and then replied: "It seems that I have to think about how Only by teaching an apprentice well can she not be delayed, and I gave up the opportunity to become a disciple of Hokage and chose me, which puts me under a lot of pressure, Kakashi."

"Understood?"

"Can you not understand? Did you know that such a day would come when I asked Sakura to choose?"

"How come?" Kakashi replied with a smile: "Then, Sakura will leave it to you. Mizukage-sama is calling me over there, let's talk later..."

Mizuki had no choice but to nod, watching Kakashi's back go away.

"Neglecting the thoughts of an ordinary little girl, I have another responsibility, at least I can't let Sakura be too far behind under Tsunade's teaching!" 』

In fact, Sakura's choice is not difficult to understand after understanding the key points. If Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto choose between Mizuki and "Sannin" as teachers, there is no doubt that Mizuki has no chance at all. There is no scruples about gaining power, one is tireless in order to become Hokage, and there is a better opportunity, which will never be missed. But Haruno Sakura is not necessarily the case.

A little girl from an ordinary family, apart from her smart mind, excellent chakra control talent and theoretical knowledge, she really doesn’t have any special ninja talents. This kind of civilian ninja who is quite self-aware about herself is a bit nice to say To be honest, to put it bluntly, it is inferiority complex.

Between the familiar Mizuki and the unfamiliar Tsunade, "Sannin" and "Godaime Hokage" are both golden signs and great pressure for Haruno Sakura. If you ask an ordinary female ninja who has no roots and give her a chance to become a disciple of Naruto, will she be elated or anxious? The latter is definitely more likely than the former. This world with deep-rooted concepts of superiority and inferiority is not as open-minded as Shuimu's previous life. There are still too few examples of reaching the sky in one step and turning a black chicken into a phoenix. There are many relationships in the ninja world, and the blood bond is still at work.

In this case, choosing Tsunade is much stranger than Mizuki, and has not yet received a clear answer. There may be additional tests, and Tsunade may be rejected.

On Mizuki's side, Sakura has been studying with Mizuki for a month, and she knows Mizuki's style very well, and after listening to Kakashi's teacher's introduction, she is quite strong, and she clearly promises that she will not refuse. So for Haruno Sakura, who is so ordinary that she has a little low self-esteem, choosing Mizuki pragmatically is almost a certainty. Without Mizuki, Haruno Sakura might have mustered up the courage to ask Tsunade for help, but with Mizuki as a way out, the situation would be completely different. Not surprisingly, this Mizuki's "big disciple of Kaishan" couldn't escape.

Although I had some psychological preparations for this matter before, I was still a little caught off guard at the end of the day. It is estimated that I will be even busier when I return to this mission.

...

In the following time, under the gazes full of yearning for ninjas, Konoha Shimo and Kirigakure Murakashi had several point-to-point contests. Among them, the two appearances of Sasuke won cleanly and neatly. After the opponent, Hatake Kakashi also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Finally won, the current Sasuke can't afford to lose!" 』

A little late today. The book "The Strongest Naruto: Water Escape" was finally re-updated after more than half a year. I forgot the previous plot and re-read it from beginning to end, so I forgot to update it. Interested readers can check it out, it's a pretty good Hokage fanfiction.
