In the late spring and early summer, the ninja Mizuki of Konoha Village ended his vacation and appeared in front of the teachers and students of the ninja school again.
Mizuki, who became a father for the first time, is obviously calmer and more low-key than before.
Many people don't remember when he took leave or when he suddenly appeared.
Most of the classmates in Uchiha Sasuke and Karin's class were no longer impressed by the silver-haired teacher.
Privately, Haiye Yinluka introduced him on his behalf, and not many people knew about sending Shuimu to teach outside.
This matter is not a big deal within the village. Very few people know about it. Only some relevant teachers have taken the initiative to learn about it.
There are not many people like Mizuki who actively seek external transfer.
According to Sarutobi Hiruzen's wishes, some semi-retired elderly ninjas or unemployed second-tier ninjas were sent to "go on business trips" to make money.
The top priority is to maximize the manpower and material resources in the village and operate them efficiently to reduce the pressure on the debt that has increased a lot.
It's not surprising that Mizuki, a young chuunin who took the initiative to share the village's worries, wanted to take this path.
After all, the road in the ninja school is almost blocked.
If the tree is moved, it will die, but if the person is moved, it will live.
It’s not impossible to have a try outside while you’re young.
"Think carefully, Mizuki, it's harder outside! Although you may make more money, it's not a good idea to live in two places with your family!"
"I have already thought about it, and I beg the Third Generation to grant it!"
"Fine!"
There is no need to deliberately stop this little thing.
"Your wife is applying for teaching qualifications in gardening, medical and basic subjects. If she passes the qualifications, and the children are older, you can reunite often. The village is not unkind, but the children in the ninja school are too sensitive! You have to understand everyone's difficulties..."
This is just like being unable to get into many units without a certificate of no criminal record. No matter how hard you prove that you are a good person, it will not help.
Mizuki's situation is a little more difficult than this.
At such a young age, who is willing to accept the outcome of being marginalized for a lifetime?
After a few words of encouragement, Mizuki stood up and left.
Although the matter has been settled, Mizuki's current responsibilities have not been withdrawn. At least until the end of this year, he will assist Umino Yinruka to send away this class of students before he can completely end it and become a migrant ninja.
"The main mission is completed. There is no need for me to monitor Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha anymore!" 』
If he could not change his place and continue to serve Gu Shan Bu Shui, Shui Mu knew that his value would drop significantly.
Without the support of noble people, it would be difficult for me to achieve great things in my life.
In Konoha Village, the restrictions are too great.
Since digesting the explosion of the "Tiger Curse Seal" and the power given by Gushan Bu Shui, Mizuki felt that his strength had made great progress, but he had never tried how strong he was.
Only outside the village can it be useful.
After being freed from this prison that restricted him, Mizuki could feel that the restraints tied to him were a little looser.
Back at the ninja school, Umino Yinluka, who was at work, immediately discovered it.
"How's it going? Does the Sandaime agree?"
"It's not a big problem! In the future, I may have to travel frequently, but I still have to help you with your work. It just needs to be arranged in advance. It may not be as timely as before."
"That's enough! I'm not busy here every day. You just need to lend a hand when you're particularly nervous."
"Um!"
Mizuki patted the shoulder of his friend who was sincerely happy for him.
"This time, thank you!"
"I just want to say a few more words, it's just a little effort, you're welcome!"
Many times, it is this kind of trivial act of kindness that can help others a lot.
"Are there any practical classes in the afternoon?"
"Yeah! The atmosphere in the class now is pretty good. Everyone is working hard."
"Then...I'm going to prepare the school grounds!"
Graduation season has arrived, and theoretical classes have been significantly reduced, while practical and experiential classes have increased significantly. This is also the only way for sixth-grade students.
At the same time, during the slightly dull lunch break, Uzumaki Naruto, whose training had clearly yielded results, was no longer the laughingstock of everyone as before.
The power of the Shadow Clone Technique is gradually revealed. In practical classes, the numerical advantage is still huge in the competition between eleven and twelve year olds.
Of course, if the foundation is too poor, a few more clones can bully the poor students who are also weak. Children with a little bit of strength, Uzumaki Naruto is still no match.
In the final analysis, it is still the limitations of the shadow clone technique itself.
This is just a B-level ninjutsu, not a forbidden jutsu and multiple shadow clones with a learning difficulty of A that can create multiple shadow clones at once.
The slight differences in actual operation had a great impact on Uzumaki Naruto.
Unlike Uzumaki Naruto, who has shown some improvement, Uchiha Sasuke has been much calmer recently and has not done too many things to attract the limelight in the class.
Except for a few practical classes, which were still suppressed by Xiang Phosphorus, he went out early and came back late. He was obsessed with practicing and did not pay attention to many rumors.
It is also rare for the arrogant Uchiha Sasuke to truly focus on his practice and not respond to external doubts at all.
After doing this, the benefits are obvious.
His competitor Xiang Phosphorus felt the deepest.
Even an ordinary C-level fire escape ninjutsu is incredibly powerful, and the timing of use and flexibility of control have obviously been greatly improved.
In every practical class, Xiang Phosphorus has to use all his strength to win.
Even with her father helping her, Uchiha Sasuke's strength has improved, but she still hasn't fallen far behind, which is terrible.
"Are all Uchiha people such monsters?"
Unlike geniuses like Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi, who became famous at a young age and killed without calculation on the battlefield, Uchiha Sasuke's talent seems to be inconspicuous in these aspects, but one step at a time, seemingly slow but actually fast, steady Steadyly turning the impossible into a reality.
You know, the current Uchiha Sasuke does not have the support of a big family or a great inheritance. He even figured out how to use the Sharingan by himself.
Xiang Lian felt that if he and Uchiha Sasuke switched positions, he might not even have the courage to compete in Taiwan, let alone work hard to catch up or even surpass him.
Geniuses are all self-conscious. They will work hard to learn to recognize themselves, others, and the world around them, and then use their own strength to achieve their goals!
In the past, Xiang Phosphorus didn't understand why his father was so afraid of so-called geniuses, but now he understands that these are all natural trendsetters who can create miracles.
In the past, Xiang Lian also felt that his talent was good, and in fact it was true. However, compared with a genius like Uchiha Sasuke, he lacked that kind of temperament.
With this thought, Xiang Lian turned his attention to Uzumaki Naruto.
If there is anyone in the class who has the most similar mentality to Uchiha Sasuke, that person must be Naruto Uzumaki, who does not seem to be strong and whose future is not very bright.
"Father's vision and judgment are indeed correct. These two are the two people with the highest potential in this class!" 』
When qualifications cannot make a decisive difference, character is the key factor that determines the future.
In the back row, Kurama Yakumo, who was monitoring many emotional changes, focused his attention on Uzami.
At first, Kurama Yakumo only discovered her mood swings, many of which were related to Uchiha Sasuke's encounters, so he was curious about her relationship with Uchiha Sasuke.
Kurama Yakumo, who had been observing secretly for such a long time and found nothing special, did detect the hidden power that burst out from her from time to time.
It was the special chakra that was revealed involuntarily along with Uzumi's emotions. It was mysterious, powerful, and could not find its root.
But one thing is for sure, it is somewhat similar to the brand of Gu Shan Bu Shui implanted in his body.
"Are you one of the chess pieces laid out by that man? 』
The more he observed the village, the more Kurama Yakumo noticed something bad.
The reason why the Kurama family appears to be separated from the mainstream families in Konoha Village is not just because they have been away from the core for too long and are too alienated.
What's more, Kurama Yakumo feels that it's better not to believe that Kosugi Bosui has too much goodwill towards Konoha Village.
It is much more important to take a closer look at the actions of the Gushan family and tacitly avoid risks than to hastily take sides and invest heavily to intervene in the operation of the "chess game".
Moreover, judging from the recent series of changes in Konoha Village, it seems that the Furusugi family is deliberately reducing its sense of existence.
Many real estate properties for sale have been liquidated at an accelerated pace, and even some properties that are not in a hurry to sell have been sold at a reasonable price.
The external explanation is to withdraw funds and strengthen the construction of Shinjuku Town. What is the actual situation? Kurama Yakumo has a scale in his mind.
"The Gushan family, which has always adhered to the "want it all" style, will not make any choices about such "little things" at all, and it is not an either/or relationship. 』
As long as Gu Shan Bu Shui is willing to speak, there will be many people rushing to give him money.
Not even needed.
From the business dealings between the Kurama family and the Furusugi family, it can be clearly judged that this "reduce" the assets of Konoha Village seems to be passive, but in fact it is just going along with the flow.
"I have wanted to run away for a long time, but I just couldn't find a good excuse. This time I took the opportunity to do a cut. Everyone is happy." 』
As for why he ran away, Kurama Yakumo didn’t know!
However, think about the fire a few years ago. The Kurama family, whose main business was outside the village, was almost unscathed, while others were not so lucky.
At this moment, Uzami, who was talking to someone in front, suddenly turned his head, looked in the direction of Kurama Yakumo, and showed a reserved smile.
"How is it possible that she found me observing?" 』
There may be some people in the class who ignore the influence of their own illusions, but with Uzami's usual performance, she doesn't have such an ability at all.
"Hiding your strength? interesting! 』
If nothing happens, she will be his teammate from now on, and the days to come will not be boring.
------------------
In the Sound Ninja Village, Orochimaru looked at Sora who had been planted with a curse seal, struggling painfully. The red and black curse seal lines on his body spread step by step. It seemed that it had infected everything, but there was still a strange feeling in his body. Strength is resisting the power of the curse seal.
It's not like it was done by the power of the tailed beast, but a brand new, obscure power that has never been seen before.
In the past, it was invisible and intangible. I only knew that it existed, but never observed its actual performance.
Now, it shows a strong rejection of curse marks.
Only forces of the same level and above can expel forces of the same level. This is an eternal truth.
Cursed Seal Chakra is a degraded version of Senjutsu Chakra, which means that Kong's body contains a magical power that is different from Tailed Beast Chakra, but can compete with Senjutsu Chakra.
Half an hour later, Orochimaru was even more surprised to find that the power of the cursed seal was gradually at a disadvantage in the confrontation with that force, retreating steadily, and even being driven away completely.
This phenomenon completely subverted Orochimaru's understanding of the power of the curse seal.
"There is actually a way to remove the curse seal that has invaded the depths of the soul! This is... a magical power that is also rooted in the soul! I have never heard of it before. How strange! Where does it come from?"
After muttering to himself for a while, Orochimaru denied himself again,
"No, it seems there is a difference in soul cognition! It's like a house that already has an owner. If you want to forcefully occupy it, the difficulty will definitely increase."
This is a soul-level game of musical chairs. If someone else sits first, the other person will not be able to sit down again in the same position.
"Unless the other party allows it and is willing to share, or change a chair!"
Orochimaru said, after taking out and improving it several times, he never used it again. It was considered to be of little value and the "Tiger Curse Seal" was applied to Kong.
More than a minute later, after having just experienced the baptism of the curse seal and resting for a while, pulsating black and red lines appeared on the body, quickly covering the whole body.
This time, unlike the previous strong rejection, the two got along well and finally stabilized.
"That's it, that's it! You are no longer a complete human being. The mutation in your body is just superficial. Your soul is incomplete and partially occupied by other things. This phenomenon seems a bit familiar..."
In an instant, the word "Jinchūriki" emerged from Orochimaru's mind.
A child who carries part of the tailed beast's chakra cannot be a jinchuriki. Even if he finds a way to get rid of this power, it will make him weak at most, but not death.
"Something similar to a tailed beast has done something similar to a jinchuriki on you. Is this a declaration of sovereignty and a defense against me? Interesting..."
Orochimaru, who unconsciously thought about grabbing a ready-made Jinchuuriki to study, suddenly remembered the words of those Iwa Ninja captives.
"The Four-Tailed Jinchuuriki, Old Purple, ran away from the village and traveled around the ninja world? He is such a naive old man, he was so careless!"
