The issue of Uchiha Sasuke involves a lot of issues. It's not that Mizuki must not intervene, but it's hard to say whether it will cause dissatisfaction among others.

Looking back at Sasuke's life before he and Naruto jointly sealed Kaguya Otsutsuki, his life was simply one tragedy after another. From the beginning, he was moving forward on the path arranged by others. His self-righteous struggle was actually just sinking deeper and deeper into deception and lies. Without eyes that can see through the fog, his wisdom is not enough to break free from the shackles imposed on him by a group of people. He can only passively or actively act according to the wishes of others. His life is far worse than Uzumaki Naruto. Maybe Naruto's ninja talent is not as good as Sasuke, but in terms of spiritual will, he is more than one level stronger than Sasuke. Naruto's ninja way is indeed stupid. If he were not the protagonist and the child of destiny favored by the world, he might have died countless times. But no one can deny his firm will to carry out his own path. Becoming a recognized Hokage is his wish. He has never wavered from beginning to end, and has been working hard for it. Compared with him, Sasuke is more like a joke. But this cannot be entirely blamed on Sasuke. He is a kid who just graduated from the Ninja School and will be only fifteen years old in three years. We cannot have too much hope for him. It is not too shameful that he was played around by a bunch of cunning guys.

After saying goodbye to Kakashi Hatake, Mizuki went straight back to his residence. After tidying up the messy documents in the room, he thought for a while and collected all the exposed medicine samples and experimental records. He also sorted out and hid other things that were not suitable for people to see.

"It may not be peaceful from now on. I don't know when Tsunade will be back..."

Although he had gotten away with it tonight, it was hard to say how long he could fool around. Practical and powerful ninjutsu were the most valuable resources in the ninja world, and it didn't mean that others would be helpless as long as you kept your mouth shut. The human puppets of Scorpion of the Red Sand could seize the bloodline limit, and the Impure World Reincarnation could even summon the dead to fight. There was also the mind-reading secret technique of the Yamanaka family, various powerful illusions, and even the legendary strongest illusion - Kotoamatsukami. Of course, Mizuki didn't think that Danzo would use the precious opportunity to use Kotoamatsukami on himself. Based on the current information about the fake Jinchūriki, he was not qualified. Mizuki felt that if he was forced to provide technology one day, he would probably not be able to survive the Morino Ibiki stage.

Fortunately, Mizuki is currently a free agent, and there is nothing suspicious that people can exploit. At most, he has a bad "criminal record", but that is all in the past. Now he can barely be considered a Konoha hero with some strength. He has been on the battlefield for a long time and survived hundreds of battles. In just a few days, I don't know how many people have been benefited by him, and how many people have been saved by his medical ninjutsu. Mizuki thinks that he is a ninja with a high sense of existence. Without any special reason, it is really hard to deliberately target him.

…

The sky was completely bright in the battlefield in the wilderness. Mizuki, who had rested for a while and recovered his strength, treated Kurenai Yuhi's injuries while chatting with Asuma Sarutobi. Mizuki didn't find it strange that Asuma knew a lot of information that ordinary ninjas didn't know, not only because Asuma was the son of the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, but also because the Sarutobi family was actually a powerful ninja family. Therefore, if you add his identity as a former guardian ninja, his status is actually far higher than most ordinary ninjas.

"Shuimu, is Hong really no longer in danger?" Asuma, who was chatting absentmindedly with Shuimu, didn't feel that he had leaked any information at all. Instead, his attention was focused on Yuhi Hong. "Why is she still unconscious?"

"You are too impatient." Shuimu said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "You want to wake up immediately after such a serious injury? Of course, it's not impossible, there are ways, but are you sure you really want to try?"

It is not easy to stimulate a person's spirit and force him to wake up, but there is no harm in bragging about it. It is unlikely to be exposed anyway.

Sure enough, after hearing what Mizuki said, Sarutobi Asuma smiled and shook his head. It was obvious that what Mizuki said in his tone was not a good method.

"Your weakness is too obvious, but don't worry, there is no danger for the time being. If you have anything to say, let's go back to the village and talk about it."

"Okay." Asuma had no choice but to nod.

After completing the first aid for Xihi Hong, Shuimu breathed a sigh of relief and stretched his stiff body. He was already exhausted, and he not only had to treat himself, but also take care of his teammates' injuries. Even with the huge amount of chakra support from the Breathing Technique, he could not hold on any longer.

Not long after, Might Guy, who was chasing the enemy, came back. In Mizuki's original idea, although Might Guy was strong, his perception and reconnaissance abilities were really insufficient. It would be strange if he could catch up with Scorpion when he could only rely on intuition to find the enemy. Because of this, Mizuki felt that Might Guy probably wouldn't get anything. However, there was no need to be disappointed. The original goal was just to rescue, and capturing the enemy, interrogating and obtaining intelligence was the next step. If there was no hope at the beginning, there would be no disappointment in the end.

However, things may have been beyond Mizuki's expectations. Looking at Deidara who was carried back by Might Guy, then thrown to the ground and still unconscious, Mizuki no longer dared to imagine what the ninja world would be like in three years.

"Nagato's subordinates are too disunited. It's ok that Scorpion was busy running for his life, but even Zetsu, who was very likely observing nearby, ignored Deidara and didn't even bother to do anything. They have no team spirit at all. No wonder they were defeated one by one by the Child of Destiny three years later."

"This unconscious boy is also an enemy, right?" Might Guy said energetically, "We didn't catch that puppeteer, but catching another one is good enough."

"Yes." Hinata Hiashi gave Might Guy the confirmed news, "This boy obviously belongs to the same ninja organization as the puppeteer, and his strength is quite powerful."

"That's good. Once we catch them we'll know who they are." Might Guy said confidently.

Looking at the optimistic crowd, Mizuki couldn't help but look at the captured Deidara with worry. Unlike the others, Mizuki was actually very worried about the consequences of capturing Deidara. It would be fine if he was killed, but if he was captured and brought back to Konoha, there would be a lot of trouble.

The first possibility is that the Akatsuki organization will rescue and disrupt. Konoha's current situation cannot withstand too much damage. If a few more S-level rebels from the Akatsuki organization come, Konoha will be in big trouble. However, this possibility is not great. At most, other people will make a little noise, and then Zetsu will rescue Deidara. This situation and consequences are not too bad.

However, don't forget that Deidara is not only a member of the Akatsuki organization, but also a disciple of the Third Tsuchikage Ohnoki. It is hard to say whether there will be any diplomatic disputes if Deidara is brought back to Konoha. In Mizuki's eyes, a dead Deidara will sooner or later turn into a pile of yellow earth, meaningless, but a living Deidara is of great value. If his powerful explosive ninjutsu is leaked to Konoha, it will not be explained in just one or two sentences.

"It's just a hot potato that I can't handle..."

If Orochimaru is captured by other ninja villages one day, and is likely to be tortured, which may lead to the possession of important information, special ninjutsu, Anbu information, various powerful forbidden techniques, etc. by other ninja villages, what actions will Konoha Village take? From the perspective of the ninja village, such a key figure should be killed quickly. Once the captured information is leaked, it is not impossible for a war to break out. Wasn't the last ninja war caused by the Sand Ninja's suspicion that Konoha had taken action against the Third Kazekage, which ignited the powder keg of the war that swept the entire ninja world?

At the same time, he was unaware that his slightly worried look was being seen calmly by Hinata Hiashi, who was observing carefully and had long been interested in Mizuki.

…

Near noon, the poorly matched team finally returned to Konoha Village. The village, which had received the news in advance, had already prepared for medical treatment and rescue. The most seriously injured Kurenai Yuhi was rushed to the hospital for treatment, and Asuma Sarutobi also left. Might Guy and Hiashi Hyūga went to report and submit the mission report, and the rest of the people were arranged for medical ninjas to treat them. And this time, for Mizuki, the mission that had already failed, the biggest crisis since the time travel, was finally passed without any danger.

After a simple treatment and examination at the Konoha Hospital, Mizuki was discharged and prepared to go home to rest. The reason why he could go home so quickly was that Mizuki's medical ninjutsu and the powerful effect of the almighty potion made the injuries inside and outside his body recover at a very fast speed. Although he was still far from reaching his peak condition and his overall fatigue was getting worse, he could at least hold on.

After a day, walking on the streets of Konoha, one can clearly feel that compared with the vast ruins and depressing atmosphere yesterday, there has been a great improvement. With the help of many ninjas, especially earth escape ninjutsu, it is a good helper for infrastructure construction.

Although he was very interested in all of this, Mizuki returned home as quickly as possible and exchanged memories with the fake Jinchuriki.

"Why have so many things happened?" Upon learning about the changes that happened in Konoha Village, Mizuki was also very surprised: "Has the battle for the position of Hokage become so intense?"

"Compared to you, my side is just a small fight." The fake Jinchuriki couldn't help but have a headache, "What should we do now? Nothing else is important at the moment. Samsara Eye, even if it's just a fake, it's already impressive enough. And yours is obviously not a decoration or a toy. You almost killed Deidara and Scorpion. If they weren't in such poor health, both of them might have been crushed into slag."

From the existing information, the disposable Samsara Eye obviously used the defensive effect of Shinra Tensei and the powerful Chibaku Tensei sealing technique. Even though it was not completed in the end, and was even directly disintegrated in the explosion that killed Deidara, its terrifying power was still fully demonstrated.

"There's nothing we can do about it. If we don't use it, we might be killed on the spot. We wouldn't be able to care about so many things at that time."

"There must be a way to deal with it, otherwise it will be difficult to pass this level." The fake Jinchūriki had no idea how to cover up this kind of incident.

"We can only take it one step at a time. For now, we can only hope to hold on for a while longer. Maybe there will be a turnaround when Tsunade comes back."

Only six people in the team had seen the tremendous power of Chibaku Tensei. Kurenai Yuhi was completely unconscious, so the possibility of leaking the information was not considered for the time being. Gaara and Temari were Sand Ninjas, and although they were barely allies now, at least at this time it was not their turn to dictate Konoha's affairs, and with their knowledge, they might not even know what method Mizuki used.

The other two who might leak the secrets are Hyuga Ko and Hyuga Hiashi, but these two are one and the same. It mainly depends on Hyuga Hiashi's attitude. As for the Hyuga family, to be honest, this is the most mysterious and hierarchical family in the ninja world. What will its head Hyuga Hiashi say? Mizuki is actually a little uneasy. Don't pray too much, just try to buy some time.

At the same time, Hyuga Hiashi and Hyuga Ko are on their way back to the Hyuga family.

"Master." Hinata Ke hesitated, but finally couldn't help asking, "Is it really okay to say that?"

Just now in the Hokage's office, several unclear points in the report submitted by Hinata Hiashi were questioned by the two advisors who were acting as the Hokage.

"Since when has the Hyuga family needed to be cautious about so-called consultants?" Even though he is the acting Hokage, he is not the full-fledged Hokage after all. Given Hyuga Hiashi's status, he does not need to be overly polite to Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu.

"But..." Hinata Ko said in embarrassment, "Should we discuss this with the branch family?"

Since the Uchiha clan was exterminated, the Hyuga clan has become more cautious in its policy towards the village. Such a lack of respect is still very rare in all these years.

"Are you questioning the decision of the main family on behalf of the branch family?" Hinata Hiashi asked seriously, "Everything I do is for the benefit of the family, there is no doubt about that. If the elder of the branch family asks you, you can ask him to ask me, but..."

Hinata Hiashi raised his voice and said sternly: "You'd better not spread the details of this mission. The mission report I submitted today will be the final word. If anyone is dissatisfied, let him come to me. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Master." Hinata Ke bowed his head and accepted the order.

"The Rinnegan, the Samsara Eye, the legendary Sage's Eye, if you really want to obtain one, why would you have to be so cautious, fearing that you would follow in the footsteps of the Uchiha family..."
