"Mizuki-sensei laughed!" Shikamaru said a little embarrassed, "It's still far away!"

"It's a joke, but also hope, since we grow up early, our vacation can be a little longer. ”

Just as Mizuki and Nara Shikamaru were chatting, the bearded Sarutobi Asma appeared in front of the two.

"Shikamaru, I've been waiting for a long time. Hey, isn't this Mizuki? It's been a long time. ”

"Asma, I heard that you went on a negotiation mission with the Daimyo, and you came back so soon?"

"Don't mention it, socializing with big people is more tiring than fighting with real knives and guns!"

"That's really hard, and it's not easy to convince those big guys. ”

"yes!" Asma casually lit a cigarette, "One?"

"Thanks, no!" If the occasional drink is still a social need, cigarettes are not interested at all.

"You really don't have any special hobbies!" Asma said, and Asma spat out a smoke ring in satisfaction.

"The addiction to smoking is so big, the red shinobi doesn't care about you?"

"Occasionally, I'm complained!" Asma graciously admitted, not squirming as before.

Mizuki exchanged a few words, and then asked, "You made an appointment with Shikamaru?"

"Hmm!" Asma nodded, "I'll play shogi with Shikamaru when I have time, but I rarely beat him." ”

"I haven't won at all!" said Nara Shikamaru on the side.

"Haha. Asma smiled awkwardly, "Indeed, I've never won, that's why I want to win!"

"Since you have an appointment, don't bother. After Mizuki finished speaking, he waved his hand and left.

Looking at the back of Mizuki leaving, Nara Shikamaru asked, "Are Asma-sensei and Mizuki-sensei acquainted?"

"It's okay, I owe him a lot of favors, he's a nice guy. ”

Although there were one or two rescue missions to help Mizuki, he suffered more favors, and before Tsunade returned, Mizuki had the best effect in medical ninjutsu. If it weren't for him, maybe Sunset Red would have died.

"I always feel that Mizuki-sensei seems to be a little cold in dealing with people. Nara Shikamaru said with some confusion, "I can't tell you what is strange, Mizuki-sensei doesn't seem to be as enthusiastic as he appears in appearance and words." ”

"Huh?"

Hearing Shikamaru's question, Asma thought for a moment and said, "Ninja, it's not strange to have some personalities and quirks. Especially to the extent of Shangnin, the more responsibilities you have, the more pressure you will put on your body. The change of the environment requires a certain period of adaptation, just like you, from the lower ninja to the middle ninja, don't you also become a little motivated?"

"Really, I'm thinking too much!"

Seeing that Shikamaru seemed to have some doubts, Asma patted Shikamaru on the shoulder and said, "Being able to do the job of Shinobi, Mizuki is definitely not a simple guy, maybe you have heard some rumors about him and know a little bit of the inside story." The past doesn't matter, as a shinobi, Mizuki will definitely deal with his psychological state. ”

Asma is convinced of this, and the troubles of growing up have never been absent. Even he once ran away from home and turned against his father and three generations of Hokage. Mizuki's little problem is really nothing. The strength has increased greatly in a short period of time, and it coincides with the great changes in the village, and the environment has also undergone great changes, which makes people feel uncomfortable for granted.

Asma flicked the ashes of his cigarette and said to Shikamaru as he walked: "When Mizuki-sensei was in the ninja school, he was one year higher than me and Hong, Kakashi and Kai, and he used to get along well with his classmates, and many people knew him in the lower grades, and he was also a popular civilian ninja at the middle and upper level of strength. It's just that later because there is no inheritance, it became obscure. It's said to be mediocre.,In fact, it's just compared to us ninjas.,Seriously, it's already quite an excellent talent among civilian ninjas.。 ”

Nara Shikamaru patiently listened to Asma's reminiscences.

"Later, something happened, some were true and some were false, some good and some were bad, and more or less circulated outside. Mizuki was able to survive the difficulties well, but it was not easy. But now, he can be regarded as a strong man in Konoha, and his behavior is worthy of the reputation of Konoha Shangnin!"

"Strong?" Nara Shikamaru chimed in.

"Among the ninjas who are strong and of the same age, probably only Kakashi Hachiki and Maitkai have a chance to beat him. If it's a sparring skill, I can still have a relationship with him, but if he gets serious, I guess it's very suspenseful. ”

Shikamaru nodded and said, "Immortal mode, I heard my father talk about it, is it really that powerful?"

"Named "Immortal", do you think it's that simple? There are only two immortals in the village at present, one is Jiraiya-sama, and the other is him! Although he is not as skilled as Jiraiya-sama, it is also quite a remarkable secret skill. ”

"Listening to Sensei Asma's tone, it seems that the adult is not here, and the village is not unconfident?" Nara Shikamaru's eyes lit up, "The Chunin exam is actually not very dangerous?"

"Of course!" Asma said proudly, "I have been exposed to some confidential information, and I can't put it at ease? There are really dangers, and there are heroes who stand up, and the will of fire will not wither. ”

……

I didn't stay long, and after browsing the flowers and flowers, Mizuki went home satisfied. The sound of pushing the door alarmed Tsubaki, who was reading a book in the study.

"Coming back?"

"I met an acquaintance and chatted for a while. Mizuki took off his outer vest and hung it up.

"One thing you want to be prepared for?"

"What's the matter?"

Tsubaki's words surprised Mizuki, and he was ready to prepare, what else is there to prepare between the husband and wife? Could it be that he ......

"It's about Xiang Li, she is going to be recruited for the medical class soon, and she will no longer be able to work in our store in the future. ”

"That's it!" Mizuki breathed a sigh of relief, and said with no idea whether he was happy or disappointed, "Let her go with this matter, it's a matter of time or time anyway, she can't be a gardener for the rest of her life." ”

"I always feel a little reluctant, like a child is running away from home?"

"What's this?" Mizuki walked into the kitchen and poured a cup of tea, "If you don't want to, we'll give birth to one, and you can raise it as you want!"

"yes, that's what I thought, so I'm going to be a mom!"

The teacup in Mizuki's hand fell to the ground with a clatter.

"What do you say? such a thing can be said casually?" Xiao Tsubaki's sense of humor is really unexpected, "So, I want to think of two names now? No, I have to think of a surname for myself first......"
