It's the third time I've seen snow in Konoha, and this year's winter is a little colder than usual.

When Mizuki finally locked the office door and walked out of the security department, it was snowing heavily outside.

The cold air from the shop made Mizuki once again have the idea of using the Flying Thunder God Technique to go home directly, but after thinking about it, he still gave up this plan.

Recently, there has been a growing sense of disconnection from the world.

This is not unfounded, since there is a convenient time and space ninjutsu, the convenience of being able to do anything directly to the destination is indeed very good, but some of the practical problems caused by this cannot be ignored.

No one can know exactly where Mizuki is, and when there is nothing important, almost no one thinks of Mizuki.

Even Tsubaki sometimes feels no surprise at her sudden appearance.

Basically, Mizuki is outside of everyone's consciousness, which is different from the neglect caused by position, personality, etc., and is more like an unconscious alienation from people who are different from the norm.

Mizuki, who was aware of this problem, began to change his lifestyle.

It's not particularly urgent, Mizuki won't use the Flying Thunder God Technique for short-distance travel anymore.

Even if it is really necessary, try to disappear suddenly in a corner where no one is looking, so as not to make people feel that they are different.

"It's really hard to change the habit, and after such a long time, I still want to be lazy unconsciously!"

Mizuki smiled self-deprecatingly, stepped on the ankle-sinking snow on the road, and walked home in the heavy snow of goose feathers.

Rushing through the snow like Mizuki, Mizuki saw a lot along the way, and from time to time there were daredevils who fell on the slippery road, and even one guy even hit Mizuki's shoulder as he passed by.

In addition to this, Mizuki also saw a drunk man with a flushed face staggering and falling on the side of the road, and was rescued by two members of the security department on duty.

On freezing days, most people stay at home, but the famous Ichiraku Ramen is still open. In the corner of the store, you can also see a childlike little snowman, which may be a prank of a naughty imp.

"When the snow stops, you can also take Mei Yuki out to build a snowman!"

Mizuki smiled, lifted the curtain and walked in......

"Welcome...... Hey, this guest, it's been a long time!"

Mizuki found a seat at random and sat down:

"Uncle's business is not good!"

"It's normal that the weather is bad, especially after some noisy guys don't come often, it feels a lot more deserted!"

This should be Naruto Uzumaki, who will be back in a few months.

"Or do you want seafood udon?"

"Well, if you have one, pack it! Uncle, you have such a good memory, it's difficult for business to be hot!"

I still remember the cooking of Mizuki two years ago, and it was really not easy, and it would be nice for most people to remember what it looked like.

"I've borrowed your good words!"

The hand-beating uncle turned his head and shouted inside,

"Calamus, prepare the materials!"

……

When Mizuki returned home, the top of his head and shoulders were already covered with snowflakes.

"It's still warm at home!"

No amount of experience can change people's nature of coveting comfort, and staying with their wives and daughters is always much happier than boring practice and work.

But after all, ninja is a profession that sells force, and it is precisely because he knows the cruelty of war that he understands the value of peace even more, and longs for stronger strength to protect this hard-won peace.

"I told you some time ago, how is the matter of cultivation?"

It's been a few months, and I don't know if there's any clue about letting Tsubaki spend more time practicing ninjutsu.

"I didn't leave anything behind, but I always felt like I hadn't grown much!"

"Hmm!"

Mizuki responded.

For ninjas who have already reached adulthood, this is the norm, and it is basically impossible to have the phenomenon of rapid growth in strength anymore.

"You look at this?"

Mizuki took out a scroll and handed it over.

"What is this...... Psychic Contract?"

For a moment, Tsubaki thought that Mizuki was taking out some new psychic beast,

"That giant bear of yours is very useful and can be of great help. There is also the psychic power provided by a large group of jellyfish, which is also of great benefit to sealing. Nothing else is needed anymore. ”

"This one is different!"

Mizuki smiled and shook his head,

"You try it first!"

Tsubaki bit off his index finger suspiciously, pressed his handprint, and then quietly experienced the changes that had taken place in his body!

"What is this?"

After realizing the existence of something, Tsubaki's hands were sealed, and then a cloud of crimson chakra poured out, instantly enveloping Tsubaki's whole body.

"You control it. ”

Tsubaki let out her senses as she spoke, trying to change the form of these red chakras.

"Why is it so hard to control?"

Although the ability to control the chakra fine control is insufficient, the person who can comprehend the Bleeding Inheritance Limit on his own can only slightly make this chakra that wraps itself like a burning red flame shake slightly!

"Looks like the contract worked. ”

Mizuki nodded.

Using the sealed half-tailed beast as the psychic body, whether it will work or not, Mizuki does not dare to guarantee success, and it is really good that there is no problem in the end.

"In the future, I will have time to practice controlling this chakra, and if I can reach this level, it will be considered a success. ”

Mizuki said, spreading out his left hand, and a crimson tailed beast chakra appeared in the palm of his hand, and then quickly condensed and contracted, forming a rotating chakra ball, and finally turning into a golden spiral pill covered with black seal patterns.

"Magnetic Escape Spiral Pill, if you can do this step, it should be almost the same. ”

From now on, until Payne attacks Konoha Village, there is still nearly a year to go, and it's uncertain how far Tsubaki will be able to practice.

But as long as the immortal chakra can be formed passively, some of the more dangerous ninjutsu can be used by Tsubaki with confidence.

The improvement of combat effectiveness is secondary, and better self-protection ability is the most important.

As for feeling the natural energy freely and even turning on the immortal mode, Mizuki doesn't count on it, just let it be!

"Could this be the Tailed Beast Chakra, but why does it feel so gentle?"

Most of the ninjas who have experienced the Nine-Tails Raid Village have some plausible intuition about tailed beasts, and Tsubaki knows that it is not strange at all.

"I tamed a tailed doppelganger. ”

"Ah......h

Although I knew that Mizuki was very strong, I didn't expect that the thing I took out casually was actually the tailed beast Chakra,

"I'll practice well!"

said that they would face the future together, but the feeling of being left far behind made Xiaochun a little lost.

"Don't be in too much of a hurry, cultivation can't be achieved overnight!"

"Tell me this at this time, is the danger that has always worried you not far away?"

"That's pretty much it!"
