Chapter 603: Wasted Effort
The past of Xianglian's former grass ninja is not difficult to verify.
It's no secret that he was driven away by Kusa Ninja Village and then taken in by Mizuki.
Accepting a wandering ninja isn't a problem for Konoha but it's a bit of a hassle to become a disciple of the Hokage.
Outsiders with the imprint of other ninja villages, although it is not easy to become a part of Konoha Village, there are several examples every year.
But becoming Hokage's disciples is different, they are naturally candidates for Hokage, and they wear a dazzling halo that symbolizes the orthodox inheritance.
Just like in the previous life, American citizens could run for positions such as members of parliament at all levels, but if they want to run for president of the United States, they must be well-documented citizens born in the United States, and immigrants should not even think about it.
Xiang Lian has encountered this embarrassment now, if it is a civilian, it would be easy to explain, but he is still a ninja from another country's ninja village, and he has participated in the middle ninja exam held in Konoha Village on behalf of other forces, and there is no room for maneuver at all.
Even if the probability of Kaori becoming Hokage is negligible, it is still a reason for criticism.
The identity of the Hokage's disciple is equivalent to the whole village endorsing her.
It is inevitable that this situation will make some people unhappy.
But at this time, it is obvious that someone is fueling the troubles with the intention of undermining Tsunade's prestige.
"What a boring argument!"
Mizuki threw aside the investigative information in his hand,
"It's just a matter of using the topic to play, and the guy who holds on to the tradition will be able to do this. ”
What kind of ridiculous remarks such as unidentified and possibly spy are actually said with a public face.
"There is no way to stop this kind of thing, and you can't stop other people's mouths from saying it!"
Kakashi Hagi has the same attitude, he doesn't want to deal with these at all,
"Tsunade-sama is already the Hokage, no one can stop the Hokage from taking in apprentices, and no one has the ability to snatch the Hokage's position. ”
"So, there's nothing to worry about!"
Mizuki said fearlessly,
"If they really have the ability, the three generations of adults will not die in battle, and they will not bother to find Tsunade-sama back to take over as the fifth generation!"
"Their target is likely to be the next Hokage!"
Hearing Kakashi's judgment, Mizuki couldn't help but smile,
"Are you interested in the Hokage's six generations?"
"Spare me!"
Kakashi hurriedly waved his hand in denial,
"It's not my turn to worry about this kind of trouble. ”
"Isn't that enough? Who is the Hokage, and what effect does it have on you?"
Instead of thinking about this, think more about how you will survive in two years.
Sure enough, a few days later, rumors began to emerge about the Hokage's successor, and the ninjas in the village were all mentioned, and a bunch of reasons were made up in a hurry, including Kakashi Hachiki and Mizuki.
The final conclusion is not surprising, Shimura Danzo took over as the sixth generation of the people.
Mizuki didn't pay attention to these boring tricks, and spent all of them in practice and observation experiments, except for daily life.
……
Sakura Haruno's distress has been going on for a long time.
Young female ninjas have neither a heritage nor a talent to shine on. She is mediocre and can have a powerful master, which is already very enviable.
In recent months, the practice has become more and more difficult.
Sealing, physical arts, and illusions are all not to be slackened, and now there is an extremely time-consuming and energy-consuming practice—mastering some dangerous chakra.
When she first came into contact with this strange chakra, Sakura suffered a lot, and the extremely corrosive tailed beast chakra once made her feel like retreating.
After a period of practice, with his strong chakra control ability, he was finally able to get it to attach to the surface of his body without seriously injuring his skin.
And this is just the beginning, this chakra of unknown nature is far more violent and difficult to tame than ordinary chakra, and it will take hard practice to make it change its form freely like Mizuki-sama.
A few months later, Sakura, who felt that she had achieved a little success, showed Mizuki the results of her practice, but she only received an evaluation for continuing her efforts.
A little disappointed, Sakura had no choice but to continue practicing on this path with no end in sight, until one day, Sakura felt as if something strange had changed in herself.
……
Mizuki looked thoughtful, and checked the broken horn of the five-tailed Mu King handed over by Sakura, which was already smaller than when Mizuki handed it to Sakura.
The broken horn is formed by the five-tailed chakra, and as it is continuously consumed, it will inevitably disappear eventually.
Mizuki generally doesn't use the tailed beast chakra so extravagantly, and usually practices and uses the immortal mode, but only takes a sample and injects it into the body, and then uses it to perceive natural energy, and then absorbs and strengthens the tailed beast chakra.
If you don't, no amount of Tailed Chakra will be enough to squander.
It's not surprising that the Tailed Beast Chakra absorbs natural energy on its own when it encounters natural energy in their bodies, as they are originally two sides of the same thing.
The Tailed Chakra with the Will absorbs natural energy when activated, which is also the basis for the Tailed Beast to replenish its strength to sustain itself.
"You don't need to worry about the loss of cultivation props! You say that you are always hallucinating, what's the matter?"
"When I practiced controlling this strange chakra, I occasionally felt an inexplicable phantom around my body, as if something strange was floating in front of my eyes, but when I tried to see it clearly, it disappeared again. Recently, this has become more and more frequent. ”
Sakura, who spoke, looked at Mizuki with a little worry,
"Is there something wrong with my cultivation?"
"Don't worry, it's a good thing!"
Contacting and manipulating the tailed beast Chakra for a long time, although it is not used as a medium to perceive and absorb natural energy, but the principle that practice makes perfect is the same, and after such a long time, it is normal to be able to initially feel the existence of natural energy.
"What's out of the ordinary?"
If it's just a little change, it's not worth making a fuss.
"I can't say for sure, but I feel that the level of proficiency in control is getting higher and higher. ”
"Then you can demonstrate first!"
Sakura did as instructed, and once again picked up the severed horn of the five-tailed beast to stimulate the tailed beast chakra, and then, the crimson chakra erupted violently, wrapping Sakura's right arm, and constantly transforming into claws, spears, swords, and other forms under its control.
"Wait a minute, don't move. ”
Mizuki stretched out his right hand and reached into the tailed beast chakra, and without encountering the slightest hindrance, he grabbed Sakura's wrist like this, and the extremely corrosive tailed beast chakra was penetrated as if he didn't notice Mizuki.
"Enough, stop, take a break today, continue tomorrow!"
"Yes!"
After Sakura left, Takuma came to her side silently and calmly described to Mizuki what she had just discovered......
