(I can feel your pain.) ）

The cold voice reverberated in Mizuki's mind, making him almost crazy.

Signal ...... Flares......

His hand reached for his waist bag, and the familiar touch had just reached his brain, followed by the pain in his shoulder.

(Why run away, you thirst for power.) ）

But what I crave is not the power to kill me!

Mizuki wanted to say this, but the pain of the wound turned all the words into a terrible wail.

(Quiet.) ）

A strange power spread through the wound, and Mizuki's cry of pain turned into a faint ho-ho.

(Familiar power, used too crudely.) ）

It's mine...... Chakra......

Mizuki felt that his chakra had changed masters, and the power that belonged to him in the past was raging uncontrollably in his body at this time, showing unprecedented flexibility and strength.

He didn't even have the strength to escape, and fell to the ground and squirmed forward like a worm.

Don't want to die.

Tears and snot mixed together and stirred into a sticky sludge with saliva and mud, and Mizuki pressed his chin against the ground and crawled forward desperately.

I want to live no matter what!

He hunched his back, gathered strength and continued to crawl forward, but there was no familiar pain on his face, he didn't know when it had changed, the breeze stirred the curtains and rose and fell, and the warm sun shone on his face.

Mizuki's eyes widened and he raised his hand in disbelief.

His hands were still there, wrapped in layers of white bandages, apparently treated by a medical ninja.

What the hell is going on?

Mizuki tore at the bandage like crazy, ignoring the pain in his hands.

The scarred hand was in front of him, and the wound opened open from the strenuous activity, and blood mixed with the liquid flowed down.

That's great......

Feeling the pain coming from his hands, Mizuki burst into tears with excitement.

It's just a dream.

(Not a dream.) ）

The smile froze on his face, and quickly collapsed into a desperate expression washed away by tears.

It must have been misheard, delusion, just delusion, it must be delusion......

Please......

(hmm...... The mind is more fragile than the body. ）

"Ah!!h The cold voice in his head caused Mizuki to scream in a broken heart, the sound that alarmed the medical ninjas, but when they walked in, they only saw the blood-stained curtains fluttering quietly in the breeze.

(Don't damage my material.) ）

"Materials?" Mizuki was running, and the cold voice haunted him.

In the uninhabited alley, the hands that shook as he ran suddenly refused to obey the call, and turned into black claws and choked Mizuki's throat.

Purple eyes opened on their claws, staring at Mizuki.

(You and I are one, and if you want to live, you have to be quiet.) ）

"You...... What are you doing? The cold power spread from his shoulders to his whole body, and Mizuki's legs stiffened and he trembled.

(Research, and study.) ）

"Research...... What the? ”

Purple eyes stared at him, (dull...... ）

A small mouth grows from the black claws, "Species." ”

Mizuki's eyes widened, and his eyeballs almost burst out of his eyes in horror at this terrifying sight.

This monster is studying himself!

"Looks like you're finally getting it." The voice of the small mouth was familiar and unfamiliar, and it wasn't until he said the second sentence that Mizuki realized that the other party's voice was the same as his own.

What to do......

"Hokage?" The mouth opened, "The greatest ninja in the village, do you think he will destroy you or save you when he sees you?" Or...... You think you'll be able to find him before I kill you. ”

"You...... How do you know what I think? Mizuki's lips trembled, and saliva dripped uncontrollably.

"I thought you found out." The claws were released, like an octopus tentacle, and like a pitch-black slug, "Your dullness is beyond my expectations." ”

Purple eyes moved around Mizuki with a pitch-black mouth, "We are now one, I can know all your thoughts, know all your movements, and dominate your body at will." It can also give you infinite power. Death, and strength, tell me your choice. ”

"I ...... I ......" Mizuki's mouth opened and closed, but he couldn't highlight the coherent words.

"Very well, I already know your answer." The two sides of the mouth hooked, "Happy cooperation." ”

"Anran, what's wrong?" Shizune noticed that Kishiran was looking in the direction of Konoha with a mysterious expression.

"Nothing." Kishiran blinked, "Let's go." ”

"But isn't it good not to even say hello......" Shizune said worriedly.

"It doesn't seem like it's coming from the mouth of the fastest packer." Kishi Ran smiled.

"Mute, don't think about it, let's go." Tsunade said unconcernedly.

"Hmm."

Shizune followed behind the two of them with a guinea poise, watching the two familiar figures walk slowly.

Time seems to have changed a lot, and yet nothing seems to have changed.

Looking back at Konoha behind him, Shizune felt a sense of relief.

Even when Tsunade repeatedly reiterates that he has no intention of getting involved in anything about Konoha, the chaotic entanglements are always around.

It was something she could not have imagined to be able to travel so freely again.

"What?" Tsuchikage frowned, "Mizukage is gone?!" ”

"All I left was this letter: 'The world is so big, I want to see it.'" Hokage smiled and placed the note on the table.

"What did he think of Shadow!" The note was slapped to pieces by Thunder Shadow.

"It's useless to say that now, after all, it's still a child." Kazekage persuaded.

Tsuchikage sneered, "At this time, he remembered that he was a child?" Monkey business. ”

"At this point, there's no better way." Hokage smiled gently, "Although Mizukage is gone, he can't do nothing, don't forget his shinobi." ”

"Speaking of the Dead Ninja," Thunder Shadow frowned, "I received news from my father that only a small part of the Ninja can be active in this world, as if it is because the restraints of the Corpse Soul Realm have been strengthened, and it is difficult for my father to leave. ”

"In other words, the power that Mizukage has is not as strong as we think." Tsuchikage's eyes narrowed.

Kazekage shook his head, "Even without the help of the power of the Shinobi, the power of the Mizukage itself cannot be underestimated, at least...... The knife that killed the three tails in an instant, no one should be able to see it clearly. ”

……

The air fell silent.

"Two knives." Hokage corrected, "He used two swords, I only saw one clearly, and the second only saw a blurry shadow. ”

"I only saw the second cut." Thunder Shadow said in a deep voice.

Luo Sha: "......"

"Working hard for the right time is the way to go," Hokage digressed, "After all, we can't just rely on Mizukage, this idea, everyone is the same, right?" ”

"You can't be underestimated by wayward children." Tsuchikage grimaced.
