Mizuki no longer paid attention to the businessman, who was timid as a mouse in the face of power, and turned his head to look at the arrogant leader.

"I'm sorry, our mission has been completed, and we are about to rush back to the village, and we still have important things to do, so we won't stay longer!"

As he spoke, Mizuki instructed the three shinobi,

"Let's go!"

Mizuki stepped forward and pushed away the crowd blocking the road and walked out, followed by the three nervous shinobi.

The leading samurai looked angry, and he opened his mouth to stop Mizuki, but in the end he didn't give the order to intercept him, and let Mizuki go away.

When the four of them walked out of the gate of the town, Inuzuka breathed a sigh of relief: "I was really nervous just now, and I thought there would be a fight." ”

Mizuki smiled and said, "Just follow me, I won't let you suffer." ”

As a Konoha Kamishinobu who obeys orders and is the Hokage, a humble official who wants to rely on the power of the daimyo to assign at will, he also overestimates his own energy. The status of ninjas was very low in the eyes of the magistrates, and they should be controlled by the rights of the daimyo, but in essence, the division of power between the head of the ninja village and the daimyo was never so clear. If the daimyo were in front of him, Mizuki might be able to give face, and it would be basically impossible for others to command Mizuki.

"But, Mizuki-sensei, won't there be trouble just leaving?"

Hinata asked with a worried face. Being in the big family of Hinata, he understands the power of power even more, and Mizuki unceremoniously offends the magistrate, maybe there will be unexpected trouble.

"You're too worried. Mizuki shook his head and replied, "Konoha Village, led by the Hokage, is subject to the Daimyo of the Fire Country. Nominally, the daimyo is the highest symbol of power in the country, but that doesn't mean we have to obey the orders of the daimyo subordinates. ”

"Does that make a difference?" Inuzuka asked, puzzled.

"Of course it's different, the daimyo and the daimyo are not the same thing. Either you will be upgraded to a middle ninja in a year or two, so you should pay more attention to things outside of battle. In the future, when you go out, if you don't have to, don't deal with people in the government. ”

Without waiting for the puzzled shinobi to ask, Mizuki went on to explain, "The communication between the ninja village and the worldly power only exists between the Hokage and the Daimyo. In other words, we only obey orders with the Hokage, and even if the Daimyo wants to order us, it must be communicated to us through the Hokage. Do you understand?"

Although they didn't understand it very well, the three shinobi of the eighth class still nodded.

"So you understand now, if you want to borrow our power, you can, please go to the village and post a mission, and then Hokage-sama will naturally assign the corresponding ninja to complete the task, and then receive the payment you deserve. ”

After all, the main source of income for ninjas who don't produce is mission honorarium. It's not without ninjas who are kind-hearted and willing to help for free, but it is wishful thinking to forcibly drive ninjas by official orders.

Why does there exist such an organization as the Daimyo Guardian Ninja, the relationship between the ninja and the Daimyo is far less simple and harmonious than the relationship between superiors and subordinates as imagined by the outside world.

Three days later, the eighth class, which had returned to the village after completing the mission, was disbanded on the spot, while Mizuki waited for Tsunade's reply at the Hokage's office building.

Tsunade, who was frowning, looked at Mizuki's mission report and said unhappily: "In that kind of remote and small place, are there bureaucrats who can't figure out the situation and want to test Konoha's bottom line?

"That's just a small matter, Tsunade-sama, the top priority is to take a good look at these small villages and towns that are not in good condition, and there are always some dangerous seeds that take root and sprout there in the border areas where all forces are out of control, and it is necessary to take precautions. ”

"Judging from your intelligence, it takes at least the strength of the Shinobi squad to clear out these forces, how can we have the manpower to go so far away to exterminate these scourges scattered all over the place? For the time being, I can only ask ninjas involved in this kind of local mission to be more careful. ”

"That's it. ”

Tsunade slowly flipped through the report in his hand and looked at it slowly: "The task is very smooth, but your evaluation of the three shinobi doesn't seem to be very good, isn't it too demanding?"

"It may be a bit impatient, but I'm sure they'll be able to get over it. I still have a lot of confidence in these three students. ”

"Hmm. Tsunade replied casually: "In your judgment, Hinata Hinata is still in the accumulation period of accumulation? Inuzuka is quite normal, and it takes time and experience to hone his mind. Why is Shino's evaluation so low? I remember that Shino Oil Girl was the only one in the eighth class to enter the third main match of the middle ninja exam, right?"

"The problem of the oil girl Shino is actually very serious, his physical fitness is not bad, but he relies too much on insect manipulation, ignoring the basic training of ninjas, which is precisely not opportunistic. In terms of overall strength, the strength of the oil girl Shino is also outstanding in the lower ninja, but in the face of Rock Lee, it may not last more than three seconds. ”

"Is there a serious lack of physical skills and melee combat ability?" Tsunade nodded, and the report was very detailed, "Is it possible to make up for it in the short term?" ”

"For the time being, let's leave it to the three shinobi to deal with internally! Sunset Red Shinobi has done a very good job and taught a united team, so that I don't have to worry about team spirit like Kakashi. ”

It's really not good, and Mizuki only has to spend a little more time to personally guide the actual battle.

"So be it. Tsunade put away the report, "The first time the village has been examined since the big change, be sure to let the other villages see the potential of Konoha." ”

As he spoke, Tsunade then opened the drawer on his right, took out a document and handed it to Mizuki.

"This is part of the inspection report of the all-purpose potion you submitted, and judging from the results recorded in it, it seems that it is far from being as simple as a healing potion, right?"

Hearing Tsunade's words, Mizuki knew that the true effect of the Almighty Elixir might have been exposed.

"It's no wonder that the illness of Moonlight Blast is the kind of medicine that directly consumes the vitality of cells. The all-purpose potion, the medicine is as its name suggests. You've really created something amazing!"

"Has it been discovered?"

Although I have known for a long time that it is difficult to conceal Tsunade, however, the production method is in hand, and the initiative is on Mizuki's side, so it depends on how Tsunade deals with this potion whose side effects are no weaker than those of the drug.
