Since the Chunin Examination, the weather has become cooler day by day, the autumn wind has gradually picked up, and it has rained a few times. The leaves of the deciduous trees on both sides of the road have turned yellow at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Ever since Mizuki's daughter Kisaragi turned half a year old and started babbling, Kotsubaki took her daughter to visit her father who worked in Shinjuku Town when she had time.
As one of the migrant teachers, Shuimu is almost the most senior one.
Most of those who were sent out to work to make money were young chuunin with a little experience. Young people of 17 or 18 years old formed a team with children of 14 or 15 years old to serve as subject teachers and teach a class or even a grade. There are many tasks.
I am a little tired, but I also make a lot of money.
Mizuki is located in Shinjuku Town. He is the liaison center and task distribution backbone for Konoha Village's expatriate teachers. He is also responsible for the teaching tasks of this town and some nearby schools.
When it comes to being busy, that's for sure. Because there is no life-threatening situation, the pressure is not particularly great. Every month, I can always take two or three days to rest.
Xiao Chun, who is semi-retired, not only takes care of the children at home, but also occasionally takes on tasks that are not too troublesome.
In more than a year, Shuimu not only paid off a large amount of debt, but also bought a house, started a family, had a daughter, and his savings were much richer than before.
In the eyes of his fellow Konoha ninjas, he was an honest and mediocre ninja. In the eyes of his junior teachers, he was a fairly capable senior who was very capable in his dealings with others.
Because he has been stationed in Shinjuku Town for a long time, many locals are familiar with this silver-haired ninja who always has a smile on his face.
However, this time during the break at the end of the month, Mizuki had to reveal some bad news to his family.
"Transferring positions? Where are you going?"
Xiaochun was a little hesitant. Her daughter was only seven or eight months old. She could barely speak a few syllables and express her joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness. Even her parents couldn't help shouting, and her legs were weak even when she was being held up to walk. At this time, her father was far away. Tiao, I don’t see him a few times a year, I’m afraid I’ll become unfamiliar with him in the future.
"The Bear Country seems to be the central control point for establishing the Southern Region, radiating to the Tea Country, Vegetable Country, Wave Country, Fire Country to the south, and even as far as the Sea Country, the River Country and the Wind Country."
The location of Shinjuku Town is not suitable for controlling areas too close to the south. Because the distance is too long and communication and transportation costs are high, it is not cost-effective, so it must be controlled by zone.
In general, this is a level increase. Although he has great real power now, he is just an assistant in charge of one area. In the future, he may be a local feudal official.
Getting promoted is certainly a good thing, but it may not be all good news for this small family.
Thinking about it now, if we can get together once or twice a month, it probably won't work.
"Your teaching qualification has also been obtained. When I confirm the transfer, you can apply to join the teaching support team. Then we will go to the south together and live together as a family. It is better than being together less and being more apart now."
"But, we have lived in Konoha Village for so many years. Wouldn't it be uncomfortable to go somewhere else all of a sudden?"
"Don't worry, we are all ninjas, how can we be so delicate, but my daughter is still weak, and I am afraid she will not adapt to the climate. However, don't worry, I have merit here, which can be exchanged for special medical opportunities within the Gushan family. Precious medicines and skilled doctors can be invited here..."
These days, the long-sleeved Mizuki is not doing nothing. As a ninja, dealing with secular nobles and powerful people, it is considered a great thing to be able to prosper.
"Okay! I'll try my best, but it may not work. Although I am qualified, I have never really been a teacher."
"Well! Do your best and listen to fate. If it doesn't work, just think of another way."
As for letting Xiao Chun retire completely, the family has never considered it. After working hard to become a ninja, how could he give up so easily?
Looking at his daughter who fell asleep sucking her fingers in her arms, Mizuki smoothed her short hair and said gently:
"Little guy, you don't have to work as hard as us anymore. You have struggled for half your life just to live and work in peace and contentment. Whether you can go further is still unknown. Ruyue, on the other hand, may not be more promising than us."
"She's so young, why are she thinking so far ahead? If she doesn't want her to have a rich and prosperous future, it's enough to live a peaceful life."
The family walked along the riverside trail in the park, admiring the beautiful scenery of early autumn. The mysterious Anbu who was watching one kilometer away from them took back their specially made military binoculars and said to their companions.
"Nothing was found today, nothing unusual!"
Soon, the investigation results were sent to Shimura Danzo.
"It's weird, it shouldn't be! Could it be, if it's not him, then who could it be?"
There should be a heavyweight liaison between Konoha Village, the Furusugi family and Orochimaru.
After sorting through the past intelligence, Danzo Shimura focused his attention on Mizuki, but after several months of follow-up investigation, nothing was found.
Except for his personal relationship and slight interactions with Fushigi Bushui in the early days, Mizuki behaved like an ordinary chuunin with a humble background, a little ambition, outstanding communication skills, and above-average qualifications.
Not only could the Leaf Village capture a large number of such people, but it would not be a problem to summon one or two thousand of them in a short period of time by issuing an order.
Danzo Shimura knew a few of the spies Orochimaru had sent to the village. Except for rising stars like Kabuto Yakushi, who were still a little uncertain, many "familiar faces" had already been completely targeted.
The ears and eyes sent by the Kosugi family to Konoha Village are very strange. Not to mention Kaguya Kimimaro and others on the surface, Katsura Haruki is a business cadre with no fighting ability but a very talented businessman. In addition to taking care of things, He doesn't care about almost anything in business, and his occasional interactions with other people are limited to social interactions.
Togakushi Hinode, who has been in Konoha Village for the longest time, has been working as a teacher honestly, has very little contact with key students, and has not discovered any espionage behavior.
After excluding several other suspects, there are not many people left.
The several cooperative ninja clans, the Kurama clan and the Furusugi clan, are not very closely connected. Other clans such as the Inuzuka, Nara, and Aburame who have more contacts have not dealt with the Furusugi Bushui as many times as the "root" organization. .
You can't check a few helpless maids and maids, right?
Mizuki, who recently entered the Gushan family's reuse list, seems to be a good breakthrough, but now it seems that the harvest is very little.
"Danzo-sama, are we going to take coercive measures to investigate?"
"No need for now! This person may not be as important as I thought."
After thinking for a while, he rejected his subordinate's suggestion and Shimura Danzo ordered:
"Continue regular surveillance, and in addition, strengthen the investigation of Uchiha Sasuke! Some time ago, his whereabouts were very suspicious. He escaped from the sight of tracking ANBU several times. No one knows what he did or who he met."
After repelling his subordinates, Shimura Danzo turned back and walked into the secret room, where there was a guest who had been waiting for a long time.
"Long wait! I wonder what the young governor thinks of my proposal?"
"No comments..."
The messenger, whose body was hidden in the hood of his robe, replied bluntly,
"In view of the good cooperative relationship between the two of us in the process of developing scientific ninja tools, the Gushan family will not have any obstacles to your actions, as long as it does not directly touch the fundamental interests."
"Including me ascending to the position of Godaime?"
"As long as you can deal with Jiraiya-sama and Princess Tsunade, everything else is easy to talk about. As long as Konoha Village doesn't fight to the point of falling apart and cannot maintain the dominance of the ninja world. Elder Danzo controls Konoha Village, and so do we. I am happy to see it happen. On the surface, the Sandaime is easy to talk to, but in fact, he has some unrealistic and naive fantasies, which makes the cooperation between us not so smooth..."
"For example, why didn't the young family superintendent receive a ninja certificate more than ten years ago?"
"This is just one of them. In fact, we hate leaders who have undeniable principles. In the final analysis, what interests cannot be exchanged? It's just whether the bid meets psychological expectations."
If you have principles and ideals and are willing to stick to them, you will think that there are many things that are priceless and cannot be "bought" no matter what.
Shimura Danzo is different. His bottom line is low enough and he will do whatever it takes. As long as he can achieve his goal, he will even assassinate the current Hokage without hesitation.
The Uchiha family was disobedient and was directly forced to rebel and rebel, and was then wiped out.
As for stealing graves, studying forbidden arts, etc., they are just routine operations and not worth mentioning.
"Although this is to emphasize that our cooperation is indestructible, this evaluation really makes me feel relieved!"
It's like a leader of a country who has a mediocre reputation in his own country, but has an outstanding reputation in foreign public opinion, and even has a lot of praise from enemy countries. Does this prove that he has done a good job?
"I made a mistake, Danzo-sama. I'm sorry, but you may have some misunderstandings about the young family governor, but the young family governor has always respected you. I hope there will be more opportunities for cooperation in the future."
"I hope so!"
Speaking, Danzo Shimura took out a huge scroll.
"This is the chakra reserve you want. Where is what I want?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the messenger who took the scroll took out a glass vessel from his arms. In the solution inside, there was a scarlet three-magatama Sharingan floating in it.
"Please take a look."
"You...sure enough, is Uchiha Fugaku collaborating with you?"
"People are dead, so it's not important to talk about this anymore! Lord Danzo, I want to remind you that this Sharingan is only for rent. In essence, the ownership does not belong to you."
"As long as I live, it will be mine, no matter what."
Shimura Danzo said nonchalantly, turning a blind eye to a series of traps in the cooperation terms. As long as he was strong, the contract could be broken regardless of the conditions.
"If you think so, we have nothing to say. May your military fortune be prosperous and you may get what you wish for soon."
After saying that, the people in front of him disappeared like snowflakes, and finally disappeared. Danzo Shimura ignored this, but focused on the lost Sharingan.
------------------
After receiving this year's delegation of ninja teachers, Gusugi Fusui, who was thousands of miles away, received the chakra reserves and a three-magatama Sharingan sent to Shimura Danzo when he returned home. information.
"Finally, the balance of combat power has been brought closer. If it is one-sided, it will be difficult to achieve."
A great villain should not be overly weakened before completing his mission.
The current Uchiha Sasuke is so strong, he has already activated the three magatama. Even if his basic and comprehensive combat power is far inferior to that of three years later, he should not be underestimated.
With the three magatama sharingan, it is only a matter of time before the combat power soars to close to the jounin level. Therefore, even if Uchiha Sasuke does not go to Orochimaru after the chunin exam, his strength development may not be as good as the timeline in memory. Be weak.
What really restricted Uchiha Sasuke's ability was the lack of family inheritance, not the curse seal of heaven or the psychic beast of Ryūchi Cave. He couldn't learn the snake sensu technique anyway.
Whether it is Wan She or the second generation Wan She, what kind of garbage are they?
Uchiha Madara's psychic beast back then was the Kyuubi. Uchiha Obito attacked Konoha Village and also controlled the Kyuubi. If you let them use ten thousand snakes, they really can't afford to lose that person.
What really played a key role in Uchiha Sasuke's soaring strength was Kabuto Yakushi's use of various forbidden drugs to smooth out the disadvantages of incomplete physical development, and the series of experiences he gained after backlash against Orochimaru.
There are so many forbidden techniques that Orochimaru knows, and Uchiha Sasuke has hardly used them. Those are not suitable for him.
In the later stage, when various monsters were fighting against Susanoo, except for the magic weapon and the Mangekyō Sharingan Eye Technique, all the fancy skills were of little use.
Otsutsuki Kaguya watched as Gusugi Bushui poured the chakra he had just "harvested" into the sacred tree and let the fruit absorb it. The originally very small fruit shone brightly and visibly grew in size.
"Do you really like watching Konoha ninjas killing each other?"
"I'm not that free yet! Uchiha Sasuke has become stronger, Uzumaki Naruto must not be too weak, and the corresponding villains must not fall too far behind. Otherwise, if the fighting power is not equal, the fate of the ninja world will develop accordingly. Inexplicable ways to close this gap. Rather than doing this, it is better to control the process in one's own hands."
With the current strength of Shimura Danzo, it is difficult to say whether he can beat Uchiha Sasuke three or four years later.
Once defeated, will there be some strange tricks? For example, if you cast the forbidden technique: Reincarnation, you will get a powerful container.
Even Danzo Shimura was completely swallowed up by the first-generation cells, and from his body was born a great demon with extremely powerful vitality, comparable to the strength of the first-generation wood escape, and almost immortality?
"I have never had high expectations for the underworld's will in the ninja world. If it doesn't follow the rules and forcibly equalizes the two sides to a level where they can compete on the same stage, even..."
Gushan Bushui responded with a smile,
"Don't you think that I... am a good alternative to a 'real villain'? With all the things I've done, it's not impossible for you to use me as a training partner and a blood replenishing pack before you fight the big BOSS. Ah! Or, if you simply can't break out of the seal, I will take your place and use my own life to put an end to the turmoil in the ninja world these years?"
