Chapter Twenty-Seven: Returning the Favor
In an ordinary flower shop in Konoha Village, Mizuki sat behind the counter where most of the flowers were covered, concentrating on carefully studying the information at hand, and from time to time he also used the pen at hand to write and draw on paper. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Mizuki originally just wanted to make a temporary cameo appearance as a clerk before Tsubaki took care of everything, but the recruitment of clerks has not progressed for a long time, and he has become a well-known flower shop owner in the neighborhood in the past few days, which has made Mizuki entangled.
"Am I fooled?" Mizuki only reacted later, and Tsubaki set himself a trick, "Too many things have happened in the past few months, and the insecurity in Tsubaki's heart is difficult to eliminate for a while, use this method to find something for two people to do together, and increase the time for two people to live together?" Are you still worried that you are desperate to follow Orochimaru?"
The girl's heart is too difficult to understand, but it's okay to have more time to see more, learn more, and contact with some people may also have unexpected gains.
Mizuki, who had been sitting for a long time, was about to refresh his muscles when he noticed a man looking at his flower shop.
"Mr. Mizuki, why are you? You opened this flower shop?" I saw that this person was a beautiful girl with blonde hair, Yamanaka Ino.
"It's Ino. This flower shop is my family's. But if I'm not mistaken, Ino, your family also has a flower shop, so you're coming to spy on your competitor's trade secrets so soon?"
"No, what are the trade secrets of a flower shop?" Ino quickly denied, "I just heard that a new shop has opened here, so I came over to take a look." I didn't expect it to be opened by Mr. Mizuki. β
"Actually, this flower shop is owned by my fiancΓ©e, and I just take care of it. Mizuki leaked the matter at once, "Actually, I think it would be better to open a barbecue restaurant, after all, Konoha still has a lot of big stomachs like Ding Ji, and it is not a problem to feed a few restaurants." However, I don't have any cooking level and recipes that I can get my hands on, so it's not easy to get it. β
"So you changed to a florist?"
"Yes, after all, my fiancΓ©e is more interested in this area, and she is quite proficient. But I can't, I don't understand it at all. β
"You know you're a layman by looking at the furnishings, Mizuki-sensei," Ino said with a smile, "Although it still looks like that, a lot of the combinations are wrong, and you're going to lose a lot of money if you open a flower shop like this." β
"Eh, no, they all look the same, how can you be mistaken?" Mizuki, who has no talent for this, really can't figure out why two flowers with the same color and appearance are not the same species.
Ino, who has been dealing with flowers since he was a child, really can't tolerate Mizuki's perfunctory and bad behavior of flowers, and it took a lot of time to rearrange the unpleasant places.
"Ino, don't bother," Mizuki said, looking at the busy mountain Ino, "Tsubaki will come later, let her sort it out." β
"Tsubaki is the teacher's fiancΓ©e? What kind of person is she?
"Isn't that okay? I'm a mature adult. You still have to pay more attention to your Sasuke, I heard that Sakura Haruno and Sasuke are facing each other day and night, and their relationship is progressing rapidly, after all, it is close to the water, I don't think Ino has much hope for you. β
"Nonsense, I won't lose to Sakura with a wide forehead. β
"Who knows? But Ino, don't you have to do a task? Why are you so idle?"
"I just finished my mission and came back and I'm on vacation. Ino explained, "Isn't Mizuki-sensei also idle?"
"I'm special, but it's going to be busy soon. β
Xia Ren and the teacher who led the team all returned to the village, and it seems that the middle ninja exam is only a few days away.
"Ino, thank you for today. Mizuki couldn't help but sigh, these flowers and plants are still more concerned with girls, "This bouquet of flowers will be given to you as a thank you gift." β
"Mizuki-sensei," Yamanaka Ino didn't answer, "This is used for attending the funeral~"
"Isn't it?" Mizuki sneered awkwardly, "Let's change this then." β
"This is for marriage courtship, Mizuki-sensei, you're harassing. β
In the end, Ino chose one by himself and took it away, whether it was a rose, a moon, or some other kind, in short, it was fooled.
"The secret technique of the Yamanaka family, I really want it, maybe it can solve my own troubles. β
Mizuki also knew that it was almost impossible to get hold of a family's inheritance secret art. But Yamashiro Aoba seems to have been taught a little bit, how did he get it?
Thinking like this, Mizuki didn't make a next move, and suddenly turned into a chakra smoke and disappeared. And then another figure appeared, and it was Mizuki again.
"Is the time coming again, it seems that it still can't work, we have to find another way. β
In fact, all I had been looking at the store just now was just a shadow clone of Mizuki. For this legendary ninjutsu created by the second Hokage, in Mizuki's view, the most important value is the strange characteristic that the memories and experiences of the clone will be transmitted to the main body. In order to figure this out, Mizuki used the sealing technique combined with the shadow clone technique, which greatly improved the flexibility of use, and it was more convenient to assign chakra, and the ability to resist blows was stronger, but after experimenting for a few days, he still did not break through the shackles of use time, and as long as the chakra was consumed, it would disappear, which was really inconvenient, and it would be nice if a better doppelganger technique could be developed.
For several days, Mizuki was almost always dealing with the shadow clone technique and the sealing technique, and he also studied the spiritism by the way, but the time was still short, and there were few results. And there are gradually more strangers in Konoha Village, and some ninjas from other villages with forehead guards have also increased. Until one day, Konoha's mobilization order was issued. Looking at the birds chirping in the sky, Mizuki didn't really want to go. But I'm also the one who participated in the middle ninja exam task, and I've been idle for so long, and my body is almost better, so it's good to go and see it.
Mizuki, who had made up his mind, also came to the Hokage's office after a long absence.
There were also some familiar ninjas greeting each other along the way, and when Mizuki arrived, he found a place to play soy sauce in the back. What happened next made Mizuki really unmotivated, only the three generations didn't finish talking, and then the three led the team to recommend newcomers, and then Iruka appeared on the stage to raise the bar, and finally the two factions argued about the scene, it's really boring, isn't it time for the three generations and the mud to do a preliminary exam?
"I really want to go back. Mizuki couldn't help but yawn heavily.
Suddenly, Izumo next to him stabbed himself in the arm.
"What are you doing?" Mizuki asked, coming back to his senses. Suddenly found that something was wrong, "Why are you looking over here?"
"Ahem," Miyo asked, "Mizuki, aren't you feeling well?"
"What's wrong with this script?" Mizuki replied calmly, "It's all right." β
"Well, do you have any comments on the preliminaries?"
"No, it's all up to three generations of adults. "Anyway, what did you just say, what's the matter with me?
"Since there is no opinion, then everyone go down and prepare. β
Then everyone rushed out, and Mizuki really wanted to find someone to ask what the situation was.
Just when Mizuki didn't know why, Iruka came up behind and said, "Mizuki, thank you for agreeing to help me." β
"What did I promise?" Mizuki had a premonition of trouble.
"Which one are you going to test?Sasuke?Naruto?or Sakura?"
Could it be that Iruka didn't think it was enough for herself, and she still wanted to pull me in to help? No wonder they all looked at me. It's really going to give me trouble.
"Let's choose the Haruno Sakura, this is suitable. Mizuki resigned himself to choosing the easiest one. Naruto Uzumaki didn't think about it, and either he took Naruto down with a trick of illusion, or he was beaten by a group, and no matter how he looked at it, it didn't work. Sasuke forget it, he doesn't get along with the gloomy little ghost, and it's too troublesome to write the chakra. At present, Haruno Sakura is still a soft persimmon, and if she doesn't take the opportunity to pinch it, she won't have much chance to bully her.
"Sakura-chan, it's okay, Mizuki, you're just recovering from a serious illness, so leave the others to me. I'm sorry for you this time, so I'll just pay you back my favor last time. β
"Iruka, my favor is not cheap, is it okay to use it for such a trivial matter? β
"Why? Isn't it good?"
"Since you say that, I can't be perfunctory, so I have to prepare well. β
"Mizuki, you're in charge of Sakura's test?" Kakashi suddenly appeared, "I'm suddenly worried about the future of my subordinates. β
"Don't worry, Kakashi, you have to have faith in them too, otherwise why recommend them?"
"Having said that, I naturally believe them. I'm not worried about them, I'm worried about you. β
"Don't call me like a villain, just watch it. Isn't it, Iruka?"
"Don't go too far, after all, they're just new shinobi, Mizuki. Iruka suggested.
"Don't worry, I'm measured. β
Looking at Mizuki's smile like discovering a new toy, Kakashi couldn't help but worry for Sakura.
It's not a big deal for this preliminary exam to be temporarily pulled over by Iruka to make up the numbers, but it's really a good opportunity to test the results of your research in the past few days, and it's just right for an opponent like Sakura Haruno, who can't be on the stage at the moment.
"However, the decent strength test is too boring. Sakura Haruno's weakness is too obvious, and I'm embarrassed not to take advantage of it. β
"As long as you don't play with it, Kakashi shouldn't blame me, just give him a headache anyway. That's it. β
Mizuki, who had made up his mind, bit his finger and quickly sealed. As the spiritistic runes filled, a figure appeared.
"It looks like it's been relatively stable, look at the performance of the first appearance, although it's not complete yet, it can only be used as a temporary measure, but it's the most feasible method at the moment. β
