Naruto: Training Disciples for 10000-Fold Returns.

Beside the stream, Mizuki turned the grilled fish over the fire so that it could be heated evenly.

　　He put his nose up and took a few breaths.

　　He couldn't help shouting:

- "Ah, it smells so good!"

　　Sandaime was looking for him early in the morning. He hadn't even eaten breakfast. He wanted to grill a fish on the way, so he shouldn't be delayed.

　　At this moment, his ears twitched and he turned around and said:

- "Who is hiding there? Come out!"

　　As soon as he finished speaking, Mizuki saw a familiar figure planting down from the tree.

　　It was Naruto.

　　Mizuki:

- "Naruto, why are you here?"

　　Naruto stood up with a big bump on his head and said awkwardly:

- "This...that...I was out on a mission, and I got separated from Kakashi-sensei and the others."

　　Mizuki:

- "You don't even know how to lie. The Hokage Tower is on holiday today and no one has issued a mission. What are you going to do?"

- "Really, Kakashi-senpai? And Sasuke? Sakura?"

- "Wow, it seems you are not the only one in team 7. There were strange bugs flying around just now. It must be Shino."

- "Is team 8 here too?"

　　Kakashi, who was hiding behind a tree, couldn't help but slap his forehead.

　　Sasuke and Sakura were both scolding: - "Idiot Naruto, you just exposed us!"

　　Yuhi Kurenai and her three wards in team 8 were very shocked, especially Shino.

　　Shino:

- "Are the characteristics of my own parasites obvious? How can he confirm that it's me?"

　　A group of people walked out.

　　Kakashi went straight to the point:

- "Mizuki, you are suspected of theft and rebellion, and now we want to arrest you."

　　Mizuki in mind:

- "it's really happened."

- "Fortunately, I had prepared in advance, otherwise I might have really ended up this time."

　　Mizuki pretended to be surprised:

- "Stealing? Betrayal? Who told you? Why didn't I know?"

　　Naruto said:

- "Mizuki-Sensei, Third Gramp's must have made a mistake in this matter."

　　Sasuke also said:

- "There must be some misunderstanding in this."

　　Kakashi waved his hand and said:

- "Whether it's a mistake or not, now, please come back to the village with us and accept the review."

　　Mizuki:

- "Okay, I'll go back with you."

　　He showed no resistance at all.

　　A group of nine people quickly returned to Konoha and came to the Hokage Tower.

　　Then in the Hokage's office, Sandaime announced that this was a misunderstanding. Mizuki did not steal or betray, and was innocent.

　　Naruto said loudly:

- "Third Gramp's, you are going too far."

- "You don't even have any evidence, you just rely on other people's reports, and you unjustly accuse Mizuki-Sensei of stealing money and committing betrayal. I, Naruto Uzumaki, don't accept it!"

　　Third Hokage said:

- "Once there is news of Missing-Nin, the village will pay special attention to it."

- "Regardless of whether there is evidence or not, bringing the person back first is what must be done."

- "Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, this matter is over."

　　Naruto shouted:

- "No, Mizuki-Sensei was wrongly accused and suffered huge physical and mental losses. And this incident was entirely your fault, Third Gramp's. You must compensate Mizuki-Sensei for his losses."

　　Third Hokage:

- "..."

　　He glanced at everyone present, whether they were ANBU or Jounin, they were all silent.

　　Even Kakashi didn't step forward to stop Naruto.

　　Everyone knows that this incident was directed and acted by the third generation. Without any evidence, the third generation ordered the arrest of Mizuki, and even said that he would not care about life or death.

　　This method is extremely unfriendly to the ninjas in the village.

　　Because no one knows whether this kind of thing will happen to them in the future.

　　Sandaime glanced at Mizuki, his teeth itching with hatred.

　　Just because of Mizuki, his prestige as Sandaime suffered a huge blow today.

　　He knew that he had to make a statement in public now, otherwise it would be difficult to lead the team.

　　But as Hokage, he still has the necessary means.

　　Third Hokage:

- "Mizuki, what happened today is indeed unfair to you. It was also my mistake that led to you being wrongly accused."

He took out a scroll from the drawer and said:

- "This [Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall] Scroll is your compensation."

　　Mizuki hurriedly took it:

- "Thank you, Hokage-Sama."

　　He lacks ninjutsu, so he accepts whatever is given.

　　Third Hokage nodded and changed the subject:

- "Next, let's talk about the explosive tag at the bottom of the safe."

　　Mizuki:

- "Sandaime-sama, I set up the explosing tag trap just out of worry. After all, there is a lot of money in the safe."

　　Third Hokage said calmly:

- "There is nothing to worry about in the Hokage Tower."

- "Because of your worries, the desk was damaged and the floor and ceiling were damaged. These villages will not pay for you and need you to compensate."

- "The preliminary estimate is that the total loss is 100,000 ryo. You are limited to sending this compensation to my office within one week."

- "In addition, in view of your weak safety awareness, starting from today, you no longer need to work as an assistant in the mission department."

　　…

　　After leaving the Hokage Tower, Mizuki breathed a sigh of relief.

　　Today, I successfully passed this test again.

　　But this feeling of walking a tightrope made him feel terrified.

　　If you don't pay attention, you may fall into the abyss.

　　Mizuki:

- "I'm are not strong enough. I'm must hurry up and recruit more disciples. Sandaime is determined to get rid of me. Today he has been embarrassed again, so he must want to get rid of me even more."

- "You must have enough strength to protect yourself in a short period of time."

- "Otherwise, I might fail the Chunin Exam before I can wait."
