Chapter 8: Ch. 8. The crisis is still there, so we need to be cautious every step of the way. [1]
Third Hokage seemed to realize something and felt shocked in his heart:
-"Uzumaki and Senju only?"
- "It can not be!"
Mizuki smiled bitterly and said:
- "I didn't believe this at first. I ate one pill at that time, but there was no reaction at all. I took it back to the village and kept it in an inconspicuous corner."
- "Seeing that Naruto failed the exam today, I suddenly thought that Naruto's surname is Uzumaki and he has the blood of the Uzumaki clan in his body. Maybe this medicine will be useful, so I tried it."
- "I didn't expect that after Naruto took the pill, his chakra control ability actually improved."
- "I gave him 2 pills, and I couldn't help but take one myself. It turned out that the pills only worked on Naruto, and they still had no effect on me."
Speaking of this, Mizuki became more and more frustrated.
The expression is spot on.
Sandaime thinks more:
- "Back then, the Senju had good relations with the Uzumaki clan, and the First Hokage was able to release ninjutsu without forming seals. Could it be that he got the chakra control pill from the Uzumaki clan?"
- "But why is there no record of such a thing in the village?"
Mizuki:
- "Hokage-sama, there is one last chakra control pill left in the wooden box. After much thought, it is best to give it to Hokage-sama."
- "Although it is useless against bloodline ninjas other than Senju and Uzumaki, with some research and improvement, this limitation may be eliminated."
What's in the box, of course, is the fake chakra control pill provided by the system, which can increase the chakra control of Uzumaki and Senju clan ninjas by 0.1%.
The System has already paved the way back, so there is no need for Mizuki to think too much.
Third Hokage opened the box and looked at the pills lying quietly inside, feeling somewhat hopeful in his heart:
- "Mizuki, you are serious!"
- "As for Naruto, you did a good job. Naruto's identity is quite special, and the villagers are not willing to contact him."
- "But you are willing to help him, which is really rare and really impresses me."
Mizuki sneered in his heart:
- "Fake old swindler"!
- "He clearly set a trap to deal with me, but he said something different and said something different."
- "Also, Naruto is hated by the villagers, and it's not because of you?"
- "If you announced his identity as the son of a hero, would the villagers' attitude towards him still be the same as it is now?"
Mizuki:
- "Hokage-sama has given you too much praise. As a member of Konoha, these are what I should do."
- "I don't have much talent. I'm just an ordinary chuunin. I can't bring more benefits to the village by performing high-level tasks. I can only focus on cultivating the next generation of Konoha in school."
- "Although my teaching ability is insufficient and I am just a teaching assistant, I will try my best no matter what."
- "I just hope those children are stronger and can protect themselves, their companions, and the village."
- "Don't be like me, who is not strong enough and watches his companions being killed but can do nothing."
What Mizuki said was sincere.
Sandaime as an elder statesman and an old swindler, he what kind of scenes did he not encounter? Of course he would not believe these words.
Although there is no definite evidence that Mizuki covered his companion to death, it does not prevent Sandaimw from believing that Mizuki is not a good person.
Third Hokage thinking:
- "He obviously sensed that the village was preparing to attack him."
- "He also handed over the last blue pill and pretended to care about the village in front of me."
- "This kind of person will be a disaster if he stays in the village. But if he is arrested, there is no evidence!"
- "Arrest without evidence, the villagers and the ninjas in the village will have ideas."
Sandaime began to hesitate.
In the end, he decided to let it go!
He's just a chuunin and can't make any big waves.
Keep it, maybe you can catch Orochimaru.
Third Hokage:
- "Mizuki, I didn't expect that you already have a thorough understanding of the will of fire."
- "It seems that letting you serve as a teaching assistant in the Ninja School is overkill. In this way, when the new students enter, you can also become a teacher. Your salary in all aspects will be improved."
- "I hope you will pass on the Will of Fire. Only in this way can Konoha survive."
Sandaime finally expressed his words verbally, which made Mizuki sigh in relief.
At least, the crisis is temporarily over.
Be careful in the future and never let the Sandaime get a hold of you.
Mizuki:
- "Sandaime-sama, I will do it!"
Sandaime nodded:
- "Yes!"
and added:
- "You have contributed a lot to the Chakra Control Pill, and I have decided to give you a reward."
Third Hokage opened the drawer and took out a wad of money:
- "This is one hundred thousand ryo, take it."
- "This is my personal reward for you, so don't tell anyone about it. It's not good for others to know."
Mizuki secretly said that he was stingy, so he paid One Hundred Thousand Ryo for the hush money.
It's not as much as the reward for a B-level mission.
Although I am not satisfied, I still need to improve the appearance.
Mizuki pretended to be overjoyed and reached out to take the money:
- "Thank you, Hokage-sama!"
Looking at Mizuki's leaving figure, the Third Hokage said:
- "This Mizuki has a very deep scheming mind, which is completely different from what ANBU analyzed."
- "I don't want to waste my energy on an inconspicuous chuunin."
- "I hope he's calmer recently."
After leaving the Hokage Tower, Mizuki went home directly.
Although he now wants to experience the improvement of the level of the [Three Body Technique] and the specific effects of the mutation, tonight is not a good time.
He could clearly feel that the way Sandaime looked at him was very unfriendly.
If Sandaime happened to spy on him while he was practicing ninjutsu, there would be no explanation.
Transformation can make other people or things transform. How to explain this!
The crisis is not over yet, so we need to proceed with caution.
Mizuki:
- "Anyway, Sandaime won't live long. Once he dies and Tsunade takes over, we won't have to worry so much."
When Tsunade becomes the Fifth Hokage and she behaves more proactively, he still has a chance to clear his name.
After returning home, he pretended to refine his chakra, then took off his clothes and lay on the bed, preparing to sleep.
Just then, there was a knock on the door, a little urgent and a little angry.
Mizuki stood up and opened the door:
- "Who is it?"
Outside the door, stood a beautiful woman with a pure appearance wearing a burgundy suspender skirt.
Mizuki:
- "Tsubaki, you...why are you here so late?"
The woman was none other than Mizuki's childhood sweetheart and fiancee, Tsubaki.
It's a bit embarrassing.
This is Mizuki's fiancee, and he has no feelings for her at all.
Although she is beautiful, she is just a stranger to him, let alone like her.
