In a quiet little room, Mizuki withdrew his right hand that was performing the sealing technique, and then said to the fake Jinchūriki in front of him: "The chakra has been replenished. However, the consumption of the physical body is still a bit large, so don't overdraw too much for the time being."
"Got it." The other party nodded, "You completed your mission much more smoothly than I did. This side is completely out of control."
Shuimu's main body quietly sorted out the memories that had just flooded into his mind. Shuimu was also shocked by the unexpected accident caused by the butterfly effect.
"People's hearts are the key to the development of events. I just played a small role in the key places, but the changes are so huge. I don't know what it will be like in three years..."
The fake Jinchuriki said, "Three years is too far away, but from now on, things may not be as peaceful as before."
"Yeah." Shuimu nodded, "Are you clear about what you are going to do next?"
"I understand. The necessary preparations have been made. Now we need to turn the spoils of war and research results into strength."
"Of course. The next three years will be crucial. Only strength is the hard truth. I will arrange the other things and notify you immediately if there is any progress." The steps have been planned long ago, and now we have to take the first step.
…
After learning the accurate information, Mizuki exchanged a few words with Ebisu. Although the two of them could not be said to have a very close relationship, they were still colleagues who often interacted with each other. Etiquette still had to be considered.
After bidding farewell to Ebisu and looking at the sky, Mizuki still found some time to go back home and wash up. After all, he had been busy all day, fighting a series of battles, and his dusty appearance was indeed uncomfortable to see.
After estimating the time, Mizuki set out for the Hokage's office building. It would not be good to keep the two advisors who were acting as Hokage waiting for a long time. After all, he did not have a good impression in their minds, especially Utatane Koharu. The last time Naruto stole the Book of Seals, Utatane Koharu was extremely dissatisfied with Mizuki. This time, he did not know if he would be troubled by any bad behavior.
Mizuki thought for a long time, but he couldn't think of any inappropriate behavior or any handle that he had been caught with recently. The only things that could attract attention were the Almighty Potion, the Soul Gathering Array, and the Fake Jinchūriki. But these three were not a big problem. Although the Soul Gathering Array was strange, it had long been handed over to the village as research material. The Almighty Potion had appeared and been used a long time ago. The only unfamiliar thing was the Fake Jinchūriki. However, there were many strange clone techniques in the ninja world. Although the characteristics currently displayed by the Fake Jinchūriki were very distinctive, there were more than one or two clone techniques that were weirder than the Fake Jinchūriki. If the Wood Clone, Earth Clone, Water Clone, etc. were still normal, then Kabuto Yakushi's Soul Death Technique was too weird, and the later Elephant Transformation Technique, etc., were simply too powerful to the point that they could even simulate the Bloodline Limit of the Sharingan, which was really incredible.
Thinking of this, Shuimu felt a little relieved.
"It seems like it's just a normal inquiry, there shouldn't be any trouble..."
It would be a pity for Mizuki, who had finally integrated into the mainstream group of Konoha, if something unexpected happened again. The combat power outside was about to explode. Without the protection of a reliable organization, it would be impossible to survive. Not everyone can have the protagonist halo of Uchiha Sasuke, who can just pull a few people to form a small team like "Snake Team" or "Eagle Team" and then go on a rampage. Just look at how many lone Jinchūriki were killed and you will know the consequences. If you are targeted by a bounty hunter like Kakuzu, you will be finished.
When Mizuki arrived at the Hokage's office building, he saw Hatake Kakashi waiting for him, and his heart sank.
"What's going on again?"
"What happened?" Shuimu asked.
Kakashi actually waited specially to remind him, it seemed something happened while he was away.
Kakashi replied, "Don't talk about things that are not related to you later, especially don't express your opinions casually."
"Huh?" Mizuki was shocked when he heard Kakashi's words, "Has it become so urgent? Today isn't even over yet."
Kakashi's meaning was very clear. Konoha was now in a state of disarray. Relying solely on two advisors to take charge of the village was not a long-term solution. After all, it was not legitimate. The most important thing was to elect a new Hokage to take charge of the situation as soon as possible.
"But given my position, it's not my turn to comment on this kind of thing, right?" Shuimu asked.
Kakashi nodded: "Not to mention you, even I can't say anything, but, the human heart is scary."
Kakashi was right about this. Sometimes small people can also affect the judgment of big people. Moreover, it is not a wise thing to stand on the side too early. Of course, Mizuki himself can't even get close to big people now, so he doesn't need to worry too much about these troublesome problems affecting him for the time being.
When Mizuki followed Kakashi to the Hokage's office, he found that there were already several people inside.
"Two advisors, Shimura Danzo, several famous and prestigious jonin, and several ANBU standing by. However, this time there is no good guy Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen. "
"Chuunin Mizuki is here to report..." Mizuki, who arrived following the order, first saluted to the elders.
"Well, come forward." Mitomon Yan, who was a little more stable than the others, ordered, "I have something to ask you..."
"Yes..." Shuimu walked to the front and waited for questions from the two consultants.
Utatane Koharu asked first: "When the Sandaime defeated Orochimaru, he used a very powerful forbidden drug. Did you provide it?"
"Are you blaming yourself? Shouldn't you have given the Sandaime the forbidden drug?" Mizuki was furious. He knew that even without this, the Sandaime would still die after using the Shiki Fuujin, but these Konoha ninjas didn't know that. They might still think that without using his almighty potion to cut off their escape route, they could still defeat Orochimaru and Sarutobi Hiruzen would be able to survive. Such a huge loss as the death of the head of a village might have been avoided. But how could such a shameful reason be said in public? No matter how much else he said, it would only be considered as a quibble, and the hat of indirectly killing the Sandaime Hokage might be pinned on his head.
"No, I never provided the Sandaime with the potion I made." Mizuki didn't want to take the blame, "The only ones who leaked that potion were Gekko Gale and Yamashiro Aoba. The Sandaime's potion came from the leftover part of Yamashiro Aoba."
