Chapter 581

There are not many red tapes in the new year of the ninja world. In the days when the new year is approaching, most people in the village have started to take vacations. Only a few necessary positions for maintaining safety are still busy, and most ninjas no longer go out and perform tasks.

The security department is similar, except for a few people left to rotate, there are not too many things to deal with. In this rare and relaxing day of the year, no one will ask for trouble and be taken to the security department to finish their work. new year.

As for Mizuki, as the only senior cadre of the Ministry of Security, he had to play a leading role. On the last day of the old year, he had to sit for a long time, and the rest of the time was handed over to Kakashi who was not burdened by family affairs. As confident as Mizuki.

In addition, Nara Shikamaru, who is an assistant, is still busy at this time, and there is one person chatting, but it is not lonely.

In fact, Mizuki stopped occasionally, just to experience the feelings and memories of several avatars, which was also a routine homework that Mizuki had to do every once in a while.

Sitting on Kakashi's office chair, Mizuki was about to fall asleep after a while.

"This chair seems to be much more comfortable than mine. Could it be that the high-level treatment is so much better?" 』

Mizuki, who was thinking wildly, was killing time when he suddenly heard a questioning sound from the side.

"Hey, Mizuki-sensei..."

"What's up?"

Mizuki opened his squinted eyes and glanced at Nara Shikamaru who was working at his desk not far away.

"Chunin exam, I have some questions that I can't understand..."

"What, are you under pressure?"

Among the new generation of ninjas, the genius who was the first to be promoted to Chunin, with his unparalleled intelligence, is already a new force emerging in the village.

Nara Shikamaru has been designated as the chief examiner of the first exam in the Chunin exams in the next year. This is also the first time for a new generation of ninjas to take the lead, which is enough to prove that Konoha values ​​​​him.

Nara Shikamaru hesitated for a moment.

"It's not stressful. I have some doubts and I can't figure it out."

Organized the wording, and then said cautiously,

"About the selection criteria for Chunin, what should I pay attention to? I can't seem to find a clue!"

"This question!"

Mizuki Qiang rallied and sat up, picked up the somewhat cold teacup on the table, took a sip and cleared his throat,

"It's normal if you don't understand it. You can't understand it by intelligence. Only when you truly understand the connotation of the ninja profession and what is the way of ninja can you understand the meaning of these methods. This requires enough life experience!"

"Forbearance, experience?"

Shikamaru was a little confused and didn't understand what Mizuki wanted to say!

"So, do you think that in ninja education, the ninja way that you keep talking about is just empty talk, or that the ninja manual is just simple normative clauses?"

Some things, a simple-minded person like Uzumaki Naruto may understand more thoroughly, but a very smart guy like Nara Shikamaru can't grasp the point because he thinks too much.

"Let's put it this way, let me ask you a question first. Do you think those who were eliminated in the first round of the Chunin exam are not qualified to be Chunin? You should think about it before answering!"

Morino Ibiki said what kind of person is not qualified to be promoted to Chunin, and Ebisu directly announced that those who did certain behaviors would be eliminated.

Although the selection rules of the two are different, the connotation is actually similar. In essence, their ninja ways are almost the same. This is not incomprehensible. They are classmates of similar ages, received similar ninja education, and were promoted to Chunin at almost the same time, resulting in a similar outlook on life in the end.

After thinking for a while, Nara Shikamaru said: "The genin who can be sent to take the Chunin exam must be the best in each village for a period of time, and their strength and character will never be inferior. They are not ineligible for promotion. Chunin, the real reason is that they are not the Chunin we want."

"You are very smart, and you can see through a little bit. If my students can be as quick-witted as you, I can save a lot of trouble."

No wonder Asma often complains that being a teacher in Nara Shikamaru is very stressful. After a long time, I feel that there is nothing to teach. It is easy to be easy, and the sense of accomplishment as a teacher will be greatly reduced.

"Ninja has never been a profession that follows the rules. Different periods have different requirements for ninjas."

Mizuki paused, as if recalling some past events,

"Let me tell you a story, Hatake Kakashi's father, Hatake Sakumo, do you know?"

Shikamaru nodded,

"The famous Konoha White Fang."

"It's good to know, and I'll just talk about some things briefly. The famous Konoha hero died at the end of the festival. He gave up the mission in order to save his companions, which caused the mission to fail. The village suffered heavy losses. The superiors complained, and the subordinates did not understand. Even the rescued companion didn’t agree with this choice, and in the end Sakumo Hatake couldn’t withstand the overwhelming pressure and committed suicide in anger!”

"This was a special request for a ninja during the years of war and chaos. It seems a bit out of date at the moment. Candidates who agree with and hold this concept have been tested by Morino Ibiki and Ebisu. Can't pass."

"After Hatake Sakumo committed suicide, the three generations of adults regretted it. They did not support and encourage him when he needed support, which led to such a sad result. In fact, apart from the unpredictable and disastrous consequences that may result from mission failure, Hatake Sakumo Ki’s behavior has nothing to do with right or wrong, but a choice of human nature. Although ninjas keep saying that they are tools to complete tasks, we are also flesh and blood people anyway.”

"Konoha Baiya's behavior is not wrong, and those who use words to force him to death are not evil. To save one person or a group of people, this dilemma has always been staged for ninjas. So how should we develop in the future? , it’s up to you to decide.”

Nara Shikamaru listened to Mizuki's words, pondered for a while and then said:

"Standards and methods don't matter. What matters is that you select the ninjas I agree with. I understand."

Why are the examiners who serve as the Chunin Exams generally not very old, because they are the key to determine the direction of ninja ideology in the future.

"As long as you know!"

After talking for a long time, Mizuki lost all sleepiness, stretched himself and stood up,

"I still have something to do, so I'll go first, and when Kakashi comes, say hello and say hello to me!"

"Understood, Mr. Mizuki is teaching by precept and example. Ninjas cannot be judged by common sense. No rules are as important as people's hearts."

With an embarrassing evaluation, Mizuki left the security department with a depressed face.
