Chapter 328 Unprepared

"Mr. Mizuki was joking!" Shikamaru said a little embarrassedly, "It's still far away!"

"It's just a joke, but it's also a hope. Since we grow up earlier, our vacation can be longer."

While Mizuki and Nara Shikamaru were chatting, Asuma Sarutobi with a big beard appeared in front of them.

"Shikamaru, I've been waiting for a long time. Hey, isn't this Mizuki? Long time no see."

"Asma? I heard that you went to do a negotiating mission with the daimyo, and you came back so soon?"

"Don't mention it, socializing with important people is more tiring than fighting with real swords and guns!"

"That was really hard work. It's not easy to convince those big shots."

"Yes!" Asma lit a cigarette casually, "One?"

"Thank you, no need!" If the occasional drink is still needed for entertainment, smoking is not at all of interest.

"You really don't have any special hobbies!" Asma said, puffing out a smoke ring in satisfaction.

"You are so addicted to cigarettes, Hong Shangren doesn't care about you?"

"Occasionally, I get complained!" Asma admitted generously, not as coy as before.

Mizuki exchanged some pleasantries, and then asked, "Have you made an appointment with Shikamaru?"

"Yeah!" Asma nodded, "If you have time, play shogi with Shikamaru, but you rarely beat him."

"You haven't won at all!" Nara Shikamaru said shortly.

"Haha." Asma smiled awkwardly, "Indeed, I have never won before, so I want to win!"

"Since you have an appointment, don't bother me." After Mizuki finished speaking, he waved and left.

Looking at the back of Mizuki leaving, Nara Shikamaru asked: "Are Mr. Asma and Mr. Mizuki very familiar?"

"It's not bad. Speaking of which, I still owe him a lot of favors. He is a good guy."

Although Mizuki was helped in one or two rescue missions, he received more favors. Before Tsunade came back, Mizuki had the best medical ninjutsu effect. If it wasn't for him, perhaps Yuhihong would have died.

"I always feel that Mizuki-sensei seems to be a bit indifferent in his dealings with people." Nara Shikamaru said with some doubts, "I can't say what's so strange. Mizuki-sensei doesn't seem to be as enthusiastic as his appearance and words."

"Um?"

Hearing Shikamaru's question, Asma thought for a while and said: "Ninjas, it's not surprising that they have some personalities and quirks. Especially at the level of Jonin, the more responsibilities, the greater the pressure on the body. The environment The change requires a certain period of adaptation, just like you, have you been promoted from a low ninja to a middle ninja, have you become a little more motivated?"

"Really? I think too much!"

Seeing that Shikamaru seemed to have some doubts, Asma patted Shikamaru on the shoulder and said: "Mizuki is definitely not an easy guy to be competent for the job of a Jonin, maybe you have heard some rumors about him and know a little bit about the inside story. The past is not important, as a jonin, Mizuki will definitely handle his mental state well."

On this point, Asma firmly believes that the troubles in the process of growing up have never been absent. Even I ran away from home once, and turned against my father and three generations of Hokage. Mizuki, this little problem is really nothing. The substantial increase in strength in a short period of time coincided with a major change in the village and a huge change in the environment. It is natural for people to feel uncomfortable.

Asma flicked the cigarette ash, and said to Shikamaru while walking: "When Mizuki-sensei was in the ninja school, he was one year higher than Hong, Kakashi and Kai, and he had a good relationship with his classmates before. , in the lower grades, many people knew him, and he was considered a popular commoner ninja at the upper-middle level of strength. But later, because of the lack of inheritance, he became obscured by everyone. He was said to be mediocre, but in fact, he was only as good as us. Compared with Ninja, seriously speaking, he is already a very good talent among commoner ninjas."

Nara Shikamaru listened patiently to Asma recalling the past.

"Later, some things happened, some were true and some were false, some were good and some were bad, and they were more or less circulated outside. It was not easy for Mizuki to get through the difficulties well. But now, he is also considered a wood There are countless strong leaves, and his actions are worthy of the reputation of Konoha Jonnin!"

"Very strong?" Nara Shikamaru interjected.

"Very strong. Among the ninjas of the same age, only Hatake Kakashi and Maitkai may have the chance to beat him. If it is to learn skills, I can still fight with him, but he is serious. If so, I guess it's very hanging."

Shikamaru nodded and said, "Immortal mode, I heard from my father, is it really that powerful?"

"You think it's that simple to be named a "immortal"? There are currently only two immortals in the village, one is Master Jiraiya, and the other is him! Although he is not as skilled as Master Jiraiya, it is still quite remarkable. secret technique."

"From Teacher Asma's tone, it seems that Jiraiya-sama is not here, and the village is not without confidence?" Nara Shikamaru's eyes lit up, "The Chunin exam is actually not very dangerous?"

"Of course!" Asma said proudly: "According to some confidential information, I am a little worried? You have to trust us seniors, at least for now, it is not your turn to worry about the safety of the village. It is really dangerous, and some of them will come forward The will of fire will not wither for the heroes born."

...

He didn't stay for long, Mizuki took a quick look around and went home contented. The sound of pushing the door startled Xiao Chun who was reading in the study.

"came back?"

"I met an acquaintance and chatted for a while." Mizuki took off his vest and hung it up.

"There's one thing you need to get ready for?"

"What's up?"

Xiao Chun's words surprised Mizuki, ready? What are the preparations between husband and wife? Could it be that……

"It's about Xianglin. She will be recruited into the medical class soon, and she will no longer be able to work in our store."

"That's it!" Mizuki breathed a sigh of relief, not knowing whether he was happy or disappointed and said, "Let's let her do it, anyway, it's a matter of time, she can't be a gardener all her life."

"I always feel a bit reluctant, like a child who is about to run away from home?"

"What's the point?" Mizuki walked into the kitchen and poured a cup of tea, "If we can't bear it, let's have one, and we can raise it however we want!"

"Yeah, that's what I think, so I'm going to be a mother!"

The teacup in Mizuki's hand fell to the ground with a clatter.

"What did you say? Can you say something like this casually?" Xiao Chun's sense of humor really caught people off guard, "So, I want to think of two names now? No, I have to think of a surname for myself first. ..."
