Chapter 146: Blessings and Misfortunes
Mizuki is also capable of being a babysitter once in a while, but it's just a bit boring and he goes to bed too late at night. Leaning on the tree trunk and yawning, Mizuki fell asleep without knowing it.
In a daze, Mizuki seemed to sense someone approaching, and opened his eyes vigilantly.
"It's you guys, why? Have you finished practicing?"
It was Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura who walked over.
Sasuke shook his head and said, "Take a rest first, why? Teacher Kakashi isn't here anymore?"
"Kakashi has something to do. I haven't been in the village for the past two days. If you have any questions, you can come and ask me."
"I see." Sasuke nodded, "Then I'll leave it to Mr. Mizuki."
"You are welcome."
In fact, in this kind of forest environment, Mizuki is not a waste of time. People who know the immortal mode call things like natural energy that. However, Mizuki was not sure what it was. The word nature is too broad, and Mizuki has tried to sense natural energy in this environment many times, but unfortunately, until now, he has not found any clues. Sometimes Mizuki wondered whether there was such a thing. It wasn't until Uchiha Sasuke's chakra collected after the explosion of the curse seal that various things containing natural energy were separated, Mizuki dispelled this suspicion.
But if you know it, you know it. If you want to sense the natural energy, you don't have a clue yet. It is still necessary to contact No. 2 Shanzhai Renzhuli to know the specific situation.
...
In this hot summer day, it is quite unbearable to stay outside for a long time. At this time, if there is still a lot of ninja training to be done, the consumption will be astonishingly large. But Mizuki didn't mean to stop. This kind of lucky person who is deeply favored by fate, in this situation, might be able to realize some nirvana. It might be a good thing for this kind of existence beyond the standard to let him develop naturally. Of course, the above Mizuki will definitely not consider it an excuse for being lazy.
"If it wasn't for Kakashi, please, I really want to be lazy. 』
Hatake Kakashi did owe a lot of favors these days. When asking for help, the first thing that comes to mind is to ask Kakashi for help. This time, if he could be a Jōnin, Kakashi had put in a lot of effort. I just received the benefits, so I shouldn't be too perfunctory.
It wasn't until a little after noon that the two exhausted ninja finally stopped. The three of them ate lunch together under the shade of a relatively shady tree.
"Mr. Mizuki, I brought a lot of food, all cooked by myself, would you like some?" the enthusiastic Haruno Sakura said to Mizuki with a smile.
"No need." Mizuki refused. "I'm not a bachelor like Kakashi, I have a fiancée who makes lunch for me."
This can be regarded as a strong reason. The real reason why Mizuki dared not eat Sakura's food was her frightening cooking skills in legends. Mizuki didn't want to eat this kind of inexplicable dark cuisine.
"Sasuke-kun, do you want to eat?" Seeing Mizuki's refusal, Sakura turned to Sasuke Uchiha.
"Yeah." Uchiha Sasuke nodded slightly. Living alone, he doesn't really have any decent bento, and it's good to have someone do it for him occasionally.
Seeing that Sasuke agreed, Sakura was very happy, and directly gave a large piece to Sasuke. Then he watched Sasuke eat it in his mouth expectantly.
"Huh?" Sasuke frowned as if feeling the strangeness of eating something in his mouth, but he didn't speak, but chewed a few times and swallowed it.
Mizuki also watched Sasuke and Sakura's reaction with great interest. When Sasuke frowned, Sakura looked nervous, and when Sasuke finally swallowed, he also breathed a sigh of relief.
"It seems that before she became Tsunade's disciple, although Sakura's cooking skills were not good, she didn't have enough dark cooking ingredients for her to use, and the noodles could barely be regarded as normal food. 』
"Sasuke-kun, is it delicious?"
"Unpalatable." Sasuke replied unabashedly.
The words immediately hit Haruno Sakura in frustration.
"However, I remember putting a lot of good things in it, which are obviously good for the body."
"It seems that medical ninjutsu, pharmaceutical talent and culinary skills are indeed incompatible. 』
Mizuki felt silent for Sakura's cooking skills, but heard Uchiha Sasuke ask: "Mr. Mizuki, what exactly do you mean by the practice of chakra control?"
"This is pretty common, Kakashi should have taught you, right?" Since he learned Chidori, Kakashi has no reason not to teach such a simple thing.
"Is there any better practice method?"
"I just want to ask if there is any quick way?" Mizuki said teasingly, "I don't know if there is. It would be great if there is, and I want it too."
This kind of technical stuff, except for some exceptionally gifted people, will eventually come down to the point that practice makes perfect. If the physical fitness can be quickly strengthened by means of medicine or transplantation, there is really no good way to control the chakra.
Hearing Mizuki's words, Uchiha Sasuke lowered his head in disappointment.
"Is there no way to quickly improve the strength?"
Of course there are ways, Chidori's potential is still good, Chidori style, Chidori sharp gun, Qilin and so on are all good means. But with Sasuke's current ability and physical fitness, it's useless to say these things.
In the final analysis, apart from experience, age and immature body have greatly limited Uchiha Sasuke's current growth rate.
"Mr. Mizuki, can't you really help Sasuke?" Haruno Sakura on the side also wanted to do something for Sasuke. After being taught by Mizuki for a month, she also has a deep understanding of Mizuki's methods. Hope that Mizuki can find some good way to help Sasuke.
"What do you think I can teach Sasuke? Or which of my ninjutsu can he learn?"
Mizuki's spells, except spiritism, don't require very high chakra control. It is estimated that Sasuke would not like some other common techniques.
There is another sentence that Mizuki didn't say, that is: Why should I teach him? Teaching Haruno Sakura is Hatake Kakashi's deal, and Mizuki also has his own selfishness. Just go with the flow. I helped Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke a few times because of the responsibility of being a Konoha ninja. On a hot day, here in front of the nanny of the two children, it is also Hatake Kakashi's entrustment and personal friendship, it is enough to protect these two children from harm. But this is not the same concept as casually teaching ninjutsu. Mizuki is neither the leading teacher, nor is Sasuke Mizuki's disciple. In fact, Mizuki can completely ignore Sasuke and Sakura's request, without any explanation, just perfunctory is enough.
If it wasn't for getting along well with Haruno Sakura, Mizuki wouldn't pay attention to such thoughtless words, Mizuki has no reason to pay for Sakura's ignorant feelings.
Hearing Mizuki's rhetorical question, Haruno Sakura couldn't help but lower her head, both disappointed and apologetic for the untimely request just now.
...
The day's nanny career is coming to an end, except that the weather is too hot, Mizuki didn't spend much effort. Most of the time, it looks like you are closing your eyes and resting your mind, but you are actually sensing natural energy, but unfortunately, it basically has no effect. Little to no effect other than feeling in good shape with minimal activity throughout the day.
"Come later tomorrow morning." Before leaving, Mizuki said to Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura who were about to leave, "I have something to do in the morning, maybe I came late. You are also tired all day today. Take a rest in the morning. A good balance of work and rest is also important to a successful ninja."
"Understood." The two agreed, and then left.
"I don't know if it's really possible." With Uchiha Sasuke's mind, Mizuki was not sure if he could be obedient, "But now is not the time to worry about this, the important thing is tomorrow..."
Mizuki returned home in a hurry and found that his fiancée Chie Tsubaki had been waiting for him for a long time.
"Why are you back so late?"
"What Kakashi asks you to do, always have something to do." Although there is no ninjutsu that can be handed over to Sasuke, at least when Sasuke hurt himself due to high-intensity training, and Haruno Sakura's medical ninjutsu can't keep up , I have to do my best to treat it. If Kakashi came back and gave him a scarred Sasuke, he would lose all face.
"Well," Xiaochun nodded and said, "I've already made an agreement here, and the meeting tomorrow has been arranged."
"That's good, is there anything suspicious these two days?"
"I didn't find it. It seems that after the last illusion didn't work, it has been silent for a few days. No abnormalities were found."
If the illusion didn't work, it must have been discovered. Since Mizuki didn't make any noise, the people behind the scenes wouldn't make such a big fuss known to everyone.
"That's all. It should be fine."
Early the next morning, at the wooden house with a small flower garden in the back mountain. As Mizuki and Xiaochun's exclusive residence, two people came in today. They all look like Chie Tsubaki.
"There's no one following you."
"Of course, what about you?"
"No one on my side will pay attention to this place. The concealment of the secret base can still be guaranteed for the time being."
"That's good, but why do you look like this?"
"The image of Mizuki is not suitable to appear outside the village without any missions. Don't you also appear in this image?"
"There's nothing I can do about it. I can only wrong Xiaochun and act as my substitute for a while. It's really hard to escape the surveillance." Only relying on the cover of the enchantment at home, let Xiaochun Tsubaki temporarily replaced himself, while Mizuki himself turned into Tsubaki, relying on the effect of the breath-holding technique to completely cover up the chakra fluctuations. As long as there are no major problems with the movements, basically no one will find out that this is a fake. And according to Xiaochun's habit of going to the back mountain to harvest the flowers in the flower garden every now and then, and then bring them back to sell, no one would object to this.
"Then let's exchange memories, I have some incredible discoveries..."
...
After a long time, after finally digesting the memories of the exchange, Mizuki pushed open the window of the cabin and quietly looked at a budding flower not far away.
"How's it going? What's your idea?" asked the Shanzhai Renzhuli avatar.
Mizuki ontology let out a heavy breath, and then replied: "We are one person, and we think in the same way. If you think of it, I will naturally know it. And vice versa. However, it is really as you said, an amazing discovery. "
"Do you still need to practice the immortal mode?"
"Of course, this must not be delayed any longer." Mizuki Onto said resolutely, "Always want to find some perfect method, this is not a cowardly behavior, seeing how Sasuke dared to go to Orochimaru to find strength , Although reckless, it is not a kind of courage. We are always so timid. And the time is too late."
"It's true, the Jonin test is just around the corner. The last actual battle in the near future, and then there are internal problems in the village, and the celestial chakra is also related to many other things."
"Just do it like this. When the matter of Xianju Chakra is resolved, you must try the problem of memory association between clones. Since you have found a breakthrough in Tailed Beast Chakra, you should complete this as soon as possible. There are many things , all need manpower. You can’t always count on self-cloning, so many valuable variant clones can’t just be used as big bombs.”
"Understood, but, are you really sure? If something happens to you, it will hurt a lot of people. This really means that there is no chance of resurrection. It can't be like Jiraiya and Pharmacist Dou, Pretending not to know?."
Mizuki took a deep breath, and finally explained: "Since we have embarked on this road, there is definitely no way out. This point has been stuck for so long, and if we drag it on, we will become more and more passive."
Now that you have made your decision, so be it. However, you really chose a good enemy. Even the Sages of the Six Paths may not be able to do it, but you can do it? You also know what happened to the last loser. "
"No, it is not certain whether the Six Paths Immortals have done it or not. The Uzumaki family is asking for trouble."
"You just need to know the consequences. I didn't expect this to happen. I originally thought that the three holy lands would have some special purpose in imparting the immortal mode, but I didn't expect it to be so simple. No one wants to help the troubles caused by humans."
"I'm going back early. Today's shock is a bit big. I didn't expect that what is called natural energy is so unreliable."
"Only people like us who value ourselves very much care about this. How many other people care about whether they are a person with a complete self? Just like Sasuke Uchiha, as long as you can improve your strength, Does he still care about this?"
"Let's talk about it next time we meet, it won't be too long."
