The news that Mizuki, a teacher at the ninja school, was seriously injured after being counterattacked because of a forbidden technique spread in a small area.

As Mizuki's few remaining true friends, Umino Iruka also took the time to visit several times. Three days later, Mizuki, who had probably regained his mobility, was discharged from the hospital.

Mizuki, who is very weak and has no previous vigorous temperament at all, sits in a wheelchair and accepts the questioning of Sarutobi Hizashi at the Hokage's house.

"Mizuki, I hope you understand that every ninja who violates the taboo will not end well, and you are lucky to have saved your life. Thanks to Togakushi Sunrise-sensei, who reached out and saved you with a precious potion. ”

"I understand, Sandaime, the way I am now, if I don't learn my lesson, I'll be too sorry for the people who care about me."

"It's not too late to know if you're lost, I hope you can really change your mistakes." The ape of the right color asked seriously, 磈

"Nine months ago, you were operating with the Hanyu team, and in the end, you were poisoned and died, how did you die? I hope you will answer clearly......" Mizuki took a deep breath, and the gloom in his heart suddenly appeared, and he was immediately suppressed.

"Great ambition...... It was indeed poisoned, and the captain wanted to continue on the road with him, who had become a drag. I lied to everyone, and when Dazhi was left behind, he wasn't actually dead. ”

"Sure enough!" A hint of coldness appeared on the ape Feiri's face,

"This time, you can still excuse the 'big picture'. So, five months ago, how should Nakano explain the mission of reclaiming the border intelligence of Yunnin? Abandoning your injured companion is uncomfortable, but you shouldn't have done it yourself in private and dealt Nakano a fatal blow. Even to strengthen the captain's will and ensure that the mission is completed. After a pause, Ape Fei Sunslash continued to reveal the secret of the past in a chilling tone.

磈

"Don't use the excuse of preventing Nakano from being captured, tortured and leaking information to justify what you have done, you must not abuse it as a last resort, and use your companions as a shield."

"Yes, I realized my mistake, Miyome. It's a pity that there are some things that you can't turn back when you do them. In order to complete the task, we ninjas do everything we can, not only as tools, but also as others...... Even if it is a compatriot, when it is time to take advantage of it, it is not stingy. "The so-called decisive killing, making a decision at the right time, and preventing future troubles, is actually just an excuse that I have to sacrifice my comrades because of my own incompetence.

"That'...... What's the deal with that potion of yours? ”

"It was that time that I abandoned Nakano, and on the way back, I was targeted by Orochimaru, and to make matters worse, what I did was also seen by Orochimaru. I even think that the mastermind behind that mission is Orochimaru, otherwise, it would not have been so coincidental. ”

"Orochimaru...... Are you sure? Mizuki smiled bitterly and said, "Bang."

"Once the hero of the village, I will not admit it. Later, he gave me the spell seal, and then pointed out the forbidden potion, I guess this was just his whimsical move, and I, overestimating my own importance. ”

"So, you're just a victim of demagoguery, aren't you?" Ape Feiri, who had a somewhat bad tone, snorted coldly, and after thinking for a while, he continued to ask,

"Where did you get those precious herbs?"

"I asked him for what the young governor Gusugi sold me, and in view of my dedication to the Inaba Academy, that lord sold me the precious medicinal herbs that were hard to exchange for money outside at a relatively favorable price."

"Is that so?" The Great Snake Pill was already a headache, and now that there was an ancient cedar water, the ape Fei Ri suddenly felt a little trickier.

磈

"You'll find out later."

"That's all?"

"I'm sure there's nothing to hide, Miyome! This time I was the one who made a big mistake and was willing to accept the punishment. ”

"That's all for today, I'll have someone check it. During this time, you stay at home and recuperate, and don't go anywhere. ”

"Do as you command." After Mizuki nodded sincerely, Tsubaki appeared and walked out in a wheelchair.

Soon after, in the office where calm had been restored, a dark man wearing a crow mask appeared and handed over a piece of information.

磈

"What did Young Governor Gushan say?"

"It's no different from what Mizuki said."

"In other words, it was purely an accident, and the Gushan family has nothing to do with Orochimaru?"

"At present, there is no evidence that Orochimaru and the Furusugi family conspired. The conclusion of the ninja class also tends to be optimistic......"

"Lu Jiu also thinks it's just a coincidence!" Since it was a judgment made by one of the top minds in Konoha Village, it shouldn't be wrong.

That is, I always feel a sudden sense of panic in my heart, and Ape Fei Ri always feels that there are people and things that are seriously out of control.

With a wave of his hand, the loyal Shadows stepped back, and Ape Flying Sun let out a long sigh. Now the situation in the ninja world is becoming more and more incomprehensible.

After the Third Great Ninja World War, several other great ninja villages silently licked their wounds, hoping to challenge the supremacy of Konoha Village again after recovering their vitality.

The movements of the Gushan family, which was originally inconspicuous, are also getting bigger and bigger. Although the sense of presence in Konoha Village is not too strong, the pervasive tentacles that reach in make it more and more difficult for the ape to fly and slash the government, and no matter what you do, the resistance is relatively large.

It seems that there is an invisible force that is fighting with the Hokage for control of Konoha Village. Gushan Bushui is one of the more suspicious, but there is no evidence, Konoha Village has secretly studied it several times, and it has not figured out the operation mechanism.

On the surface, it seems that it is all for the good of Konoha Village, and it does provide a lot of convenience, but why is it getting more and more uncomfortable?

Is it just a coincidence? The Hokage's third generation, Sarutobi Slash, had to temporarily suppress the words that he couldn't think of clearly in his heart, and focused on Mizuki itself.

"Orochimaru, it always seems to be haunted. In the past few years, almost all the things that have happened in the village have a direct or indirect connection with him, and he knew that he would have been left or even killed directly, and there would have been so many things.

It's just that at this point, there is no need to make any more fanfare, because Mizuki has made no resistance and has almost confessed.

"Let Mizuki go to the torture department, and go through Morino Ibiki and Yamanaka Kaichi

"Test" is a small punishment and a big commandment.'" That's all there is to it. In addition to not reporting the incident of having contact with Orochimaru, although Mizuki's actions were wrong, it was really not a heinous crime.

He will not save his compatriots when they see death. Deprive your comrades of the last ray of life with lies? It's a bit hard to say it, but with the moral considerations of a ninja, you really can't blame it too much.

Kakashi Kakashi was also such a person in the past, in order to complete the task, he did almost everything, although it did not cause more bad consequences, but it was not because Kakashi Hachiki did it right, but his strength was relatively strong, and in addition to completing the task, he could try to save the lives of his teammates, Mizuki's strength was average, he couldn't do more, and he had no other choice.

The same move, because of the strong strength, the credit is great, it will not be investigated, the level is poor, and if it is rough, it will be shouted and killed, which is obviously unfair to Mizuki.

As for the other extreme, Qimu Shuomao gave up the mission in order to save the lives of his teammates, but indirectly caused dozens of compatriots to lose their lives.

Because of this incident, Qimu Shuomao was almost pointed out by a thousand people, and then committed suicide in shame. "Some things are not easy to do!

Especially for this kind of free mind, there is almost no uniform standard of judgment. Maybe it's because he realized that there was still room for salvation for what he had done, so he happily confessed everything, no matter what, Mizuki had to bear a certain amount of responsibility, but, that's all.

As for the contact with Orochimaru, the only victim is himself, and there is no need to punish him.

By the way...... "There are also spell marks and that potion, keep them secret, and let the people in the medical team speed up their research and see what the consequences are."

A sturdy young ninja was called in just a few minutes

The "Tiger's Curse Seal" and a potion are so devastating that others may not be so lucky if they can't resist the temptation to embark on this path.

At the same time, Mizuki, who was pushed by Tsubaki in a wheelchair and walked out of the gate of the Hokage House together, looked at Iwa Shinobi and Sand Shinobi coming and going, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but pull an arc of a smile.

"They are all a group of poor people who are held in the hands of fate and cannot escape." It's only now that Mizuki really understands how the rules of the world work.

In terms of the general trend, except for a very small number of masters and geniuses such as Gokage, Sannin, Uchiha Itachi, and Kakashi Hachiki, the struggles of the vast majority of ordinary people do not mean anything to a big force like the Furusugi family.

What they value is the overall development context and the general trend, which is what they pursue and utilize. Outside the rumors are full of how the ancient Shanbu Shui is wise and powerful, catching two famous S-class rebels, Mizuki through the dicotyledonous seedlings that have just broken through the soil in his body, feeling the terrible sense of oppression behind the scenes, which is as deep as the abyssal sea, and came to a very astonishing conclusion.

"That's not the power that humans should have, only the true God can hold that kind of power.

From both the Hokage and the three shinobi, Mizuki had never felt such a terrible thing. 磈

"Tsubaki, although the method of realization is a little different from what I imagined, I finally see a little hope. That different sky, I don't know if there is a place for me. ”

"Huh?" Tsubaki replied inexplicably,

"Are you saying that the magnanimous three generations will forgive you? That would be great......

"It's not all, but it's pretty much it." Mizuki smiled faintly, he still was

The Konoha ninja of "Root is Miaohong" is just one more object of allegiance. "Why didn't I find out before that there was still this kind of play in this world?

It's no wonder that the Daimyo is the master of the Fire Country, and the Konoha Ninja is just a mercenary under the orders of the Daimyo under the leadership of the Hokage.

On the top floor of a high-rise mansion a few hundred meters away, through the floor-to-ceiling windows, the sunrise near the Hokage's house was in full view, and after burning and destroying the information in his hand, he couldn't help but show a helpless smile.

"The young master always likes to co-opt these inexplicable characters for his own use. I really don't see anything worth paying attention to about this person, just because he has a connection with Orochimaru and has a mutilated spell mark on his body? ”

"Possibility." Yasukawa Zaihara, who came from afar, stood beside Togakushi Sunrise and whispered,

"Whether it's a normal version of the spell seal, the curse seal of heaven or the curse mark of the earth, it is actually a perfect finished product. To be perfect means that there is no way to change, to be rigid and to have no expectations. Defects and peculiarities are rare qualities, we all know that things that exist have their own self-justifying existence, and that mutilations and peculiarities cannot exist alone, there must be something to fill in and perfect, so that they are 'rounded' and flawless. "It's like a gardener pruning a potted plant, removing a part of the branches each time, and growing back is different from the original.

磈

"In the young master's opinion, this kind of power actually has the magical ability of self-improvement?"

"No, what the young master means is that as long as Mizuki doesn't die, sooner or later the Tiger Curse Seal will show its value in another form."

"Are you sure this is what the young master meant?" Saving the life of a not very strong Konoha Village Shinobi, although it is not too difficult, it is not easy to do, especially since this guy has been in a suspicious place recently, and I don't know how many people are staring at him nearby, either openly or secretly.

If you want Mizuki to play a role, you have to do something. However, under the nose of Konoha Village, how much can be done?

Whether it's Togakure Sunrise or Yaskawa Zaihara, he doesn't have the ability of his own young master. 磈

"Mizuki is not easy to move, there are other directions."

"You mean, ninja school?" At the end of the day, the goal of Furusugi is to master Mizuki as a fulcrum and then influence the behavior of some students at the ninja school when needed.

"If you understand, I'll leave it to you."

"Well, my childhood friend who has been staying in Konoha Village is almost no match for a rising star like you." Yasukawa Zaihara chuckled: "Serving the Gushan family, you can't talk about distant relatives. You are the key person who always stays by Miss Xiangpho's side and protects her safety, which shows the young master's trust in you. As for me, the work at hand will not have much impact if someone else does it. "Indeed, there are irreplaceable merits in order to make important contributions and trust the ancient Shanbu water.

Togakure Sunrise smiled bitterly: "Miss Xiangpho's first day is still early, and I don't know what the ninja world will become in a few years." The ambition of the young master, I can't understand it more and more. ”

"It's time to keep up with the pace and contribute. Didn't our ancestors also win the trust of the master's family in this way and stand out? ”

"yes!" When it comes to this topic, Togakure Sunrise is also full of emotion, the friendship when he was a child, which has established his current status, but, if he wants to go further, it seems a little difficult,

"We can only be loyal to others, and when Miss Xiangpho graduates, I don't know if the burden on my shoulders will be lighter. With Mizuki, can you share a little pressure? Yasukawa Zaihara shook his head with a smile: "The goal of his mission is someone else." I hope there will be no conflict at that time, Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha are not fuel-efficient lamps! ”
