After exchanging memories with the fake Jinchūriki, Mizuki has been thinking about something. In the eyes of Haruno Sakura and Uchiha Sasuke, Mizuki's mental trance is so obvious. Since arriving at the training ground, he has been in a daze for a long time without saying a word. He didn't even say a word when they ignored their instructions and came to practice early in the morning. Influenced by this, Sakura and Sasuke have not disturbed Mizuki's thoughts, and even the noise of practice is much smaller than before.

It was not until Xiaochun brought lunch in the afternoon that Shuimu came back to his senses.

"Why didn't you go back to eat?" Xiaochun was a little surprised that Shuimu didn't eat lunch and came directly to the training ground. His physical condition was not good to begin with, and he didn't take good care of himself. Xiaochun was a little worried, so she came to check on him.

"Nothing serious, just remembered something."

I was so absorbed in my thoughts that I unknowingly came here.

"Let's eat first. Is there anything you can't think about when you get home?" Xiaochun handed the lunch to Shuimu. "You look so lost that you've scared everyone else."

"Really..." Mizuki looked at Haruno Sakura and Uchiha Sasuke while eating, "It seems like they don't mind. They're used to it."

"If you have anything to say, let's talk about it when we get back." Xiao Chun knew that what happened this morning was of great importance. "If there is anything difficult, I can help."

"Don't worry, I won't suffer any loss." Shuimu replied with a smile.

"That's good. However, someone came to see you this morning. It was someone from the Hyuga family."

"Hinata?" Mizuki was a little confused. It's only been a few days? Hinata Hiashi didn't seem like someone who could be so impatient. Did he have something else to ask him?

"Mizuki, when did you get in touch with a big family like the Hyuga? We just did a mission together last time, and we failed..." Xiaochun didn't think that the Hyuga family and Mizuki had much in common. "Do you have any deal with them?"

Thinking about what happened to him a few days ago, Xiaochun became a little worried about Mizuki's situation.

"It won't be anything bad. Relax."

If the Hyuga family was looking for him, they would have come here by now if it was an urgent matter. Mizuki had something that everyone coveted three times, and Hyuga Hiashi would never give it up. So it was probably not an urgent matter.

"That's good. I'll be leaving first. I have something else to do in the afternoon."

"Um."

Looking at Xiaochun's departing figure, Mizuki was about to enter a trance again. Uchiha Sasuke on the side saw the opportunity and stepped forward, then spoke anxiously.

"Mr. Mizuki, take a look at this."

Sasuke quickly formed a seal and stretched out his right hand. With an electric sound like the chirping of birds, the image of a Chidori appeared in the palm of his hand.

"What do you want me to see?" Mizuki has seen the Chidori technique many times. If he had lightning attribute chakra, he could have played something like the Chidori Style long ago. Unfortunately, the fire attribute was too ordinary, and there was no impressive fire style to refer to. The only relatively powerful Amaterasu was the Bloodline Limit.

Following Mizuki's question, Uchiha Sasuke's expression tensed, as if he had held back a lot of strength. The chakra in his right hand changed, and the Chidori also changed accordingly. Bright lightning began to wrap around his entire right arm.

"Interesting." Mizuki watched with interest as Sasuke, who had been holding his anger for so long, finally came up with something new.

"It seems that this is the prototype of Chidori Style. He is indeed a genius. I only mentioned chakra control a few times, but he wanted to develop in this direction."

"What do you think, Mr. Mizuki?" Uchiha Sasuke looked at Mizuki's evaluation hopefully.

"Attack and defense in one, a very good idea. But..."

Before he could hold on for long, he could no longer maintain the Chidori Style, and the entire technique dissipated.

Seeing this situation, Sasuke said awkwardly: "It's not finished yet."

"What was your idea yesterday? Have you done this today?"

"I've been practicing for many days. I started the last time Mizuki-sensei mentioned Chidori."

This situation is quite normal. At least the learning time is not too exaggerated. It took Naruto Uzumaki several days to learn the Rasengan.

Seeing that Sasuke was still waiting for his evaluation, Mizuki thought for a moment and said, "All great techniques may have originated from a sudden idea of ​​a genius. Your technique is indeed good. If you perfect it, at least you will not be worse than an ordinary Chunin."

"Just a Chunin?" Sasuke was very disappointed with this level of evaluation.

Seeing Sasuke's frustrated face, Mizuki comforted him: "The same technique, in the hands of ninjas of different levels, will exert completely different power. The three-body technique of a jonin can crush all genin. Your technique has great potential, and it will become stronger as your strength increases."

"But, I feel very reluctant to achieve the current level. There is no way to continue training. And..." Sasuke tore off the bandage wrapped around his right arm, rolled up his sleeves to reveal his arm which was scarred by the electric arc just now. "How can I achieve the level of completion that Mr. Mizuki said?"

"Sasuke-kun, you're injured." Seeing Sasuke's injury, Sakura hurried over to treat Sasuke's arm. "This technique is too dangerous."

"Ninja is not a game. If you want to improve, this injury is nothing. It just takes up too much time for practice." Sasuke didn't care much about this. If the Avengers don't have this awareness, they might as well live a peaceful life. Sasuke had this experience when he was learning Chidori.

"That's not what I meant, Sasuke-kun." Sakura said hurriedly. The little girl who was in unrequited love became nervous about a simple dissatisfaction from others.

"Okay, Sakura, these are just superficial injuries, no big deal. Don't worry." After helping Sakura out, Mizuki turned to Uchiha Sasuke and said, "I can't answer your question. After all, your style is quite different from mine." Uchiha Sasuke is an all-around ninja who is good at ninjutsu, physical technique, and illusion. Mizuki seems to be a bit similar, but both are combat systems developed based on the characteristics of chakra control. Strictly speaking, Mizuki is different from most ninjas.

Mizuki is relatively familiar with Chidori's subsequent development, but he doesn't know how she practiced. He only knows that Sasuke suddenly learned it three years later. No one knows what method Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi used to help Sasuke break through the shackles of his body.

"Really? Thank you very much, teacher." Although I was not very satisfied with the result of the exchange, I was able to gain something, which was a pleasant surprise. The idea of ​​Chidori Flow was affirmed by the senior ninja, and it seemed that it was indeed a way.

"You're welcome. Although I don't have any skills to teach you, I can still talk to you about other things. It's not a big deal anyway."

Some things are something that everyone will know sooner or later, so doing a favor is not a big deal.

…

It was not until nightfall that Mizuki returned home. Uchiha Sasuke, who had been quite stimulated recently, was training too hard. If it hadn't been for the darkness, I really don't know if Sasuke would have continued to practice.

Mizuki, who had just arrived at the doorstep, unexpectedly found an old acquaintance - Hinata Ko.

"Why are you waiting here?" Shuimu hurriedly opened the door and invited the man in. "You were here during the day? If you have anything, you can come to the training ground to find me directly. Would you like some tea?"

"You're welcome. I'll leave after I'm done with my business. I've been entrusted by the patriarch to give this to you." Hinata Ko took out a sealed scroll, "It contains something the patriarch has given you."

"Thank you for the trouble. I made two special trips."

"That's the third time! But you're welcome. I'll take my leave now."

"Oh, I'm so sorry. I'll take you there."

…

After watching Hinata Ko disappear into the night, Mizuki turned around and went home, locked the door, and then took out the information that Hinata Hiashi had given him.

"You came at the perfect time. Let me see some secrets unknown to outsiders."

These things were collected by Mizuki with the help of Hinata Hiashi. They mainly included some myths from ancient times, some widely circulated strange stories, and the latest was some early news about Konoha, especially about the second generation Hokage Senju Tobirama and Jiraiya. Mizuki even believed that Senju Tobirama, the genius inventor of ninjutsu whom he had admired for a long time, was not inferior to Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama of the same era. Only Orochimaru could be on par with Senju Tobirama in ninjutsu.

If Kaguya Otsutsuki was the one who started the chaos in the ninja world, and the one who rebuilt the order was the Sage of Six Paths. If the one who changed the pattern of the ninja world was Tobira Senju, who established the ninja school system, reformed the ninja village, and created some ninjutsu that influenced the future generations, then the most mysterious person that Mizuki thinks is Jiraiya. He is even more difficult to understand than Orochimaru, whose background is unknown.

Jiraiya's origin is unknown, his surname is unknown, and there is no record of any family members. Before becoming a disciple of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, there was no news about him. Then he was spotted by Myoboku Mountain and became the famous Toad Sage. He trained several big figures who influenced the ninja world, and it can be said that he influenced the situation of the ninja world. His disciple Namikaze Minato was the Fourth Hokage and gave birth to the Seventh Hokage Uzumaki Naruto. At the same time, both father and son were deeply influenced by Jiraiya. In addition, he also taught Nagato, a villain who came into being. In the end, he died at the hands of Nagato. It can be said that Jiraiya's life is a legend.

But there is one very strange thing, that is, in the Fourth Shinobi World War, all the famous ninjas were resurrected by the Impure World Reincarnation, but two people never showed up, Uchiha Shisui and Jiraiya. If Uchiha Shisui died early and his body was hard to find, it would be understandable, but Jiraiya was not resurrected by the Impure World Reincarnation, which is actually quite strange. I don’t know the specific situation, but Myobokusan’s hands and feet are too obvious here. As a toad sage, he spared no effort to contribute one prophecy after another for the welfare of mankind. He is too diligent in human affairs.

The more Mizuki knows about the ninja world, combined with the memories of his past life, a lot of questions need to be solved. Especially recently, he needs to find some indirect evidence from historical records to verify his ideas. Therefore, it is much better to ask the powerful Hinata Hiashi to help than to figure it out alone.

…

It was late at night, and Shuimu, who had just finished a long reading session, was about to take a break when suddenly, a wave of a trap being triggered came over.

"Who would come back and sneak over here at this time?"

Shuimu carefully sensed it and then felt relieved.

"Four people? You're the Sound Four, right? Unfortunately, you can no longer come and go freely in Konoha now."

In the original novel, Sasuke was easily kidnapped by the four Inunin, but that was long after Tsunade returned and Nara Shikamaru became a Chunin. So much time has passed, and Konoha's vigilance is no longer as strict as before.

But the situation is completely different now. Konoha Village has been attacked one after another, and when even the Hokage is not there, you want to sneak in. Do you really think that Konoha's Anbu are all weaklings? And the one who least wants Orochimaru to obtain Sasuke's body is undoubtedly Shimura Danzo. The one who is keeping the closest eye on Orochimaru is undoubtedly the "Root" organization to which Shimura Danzo belongs.

Even for an acquaintance like Mizuki, patrolling ANBU would occasionally come to ask questions when walking on the street at late night. At this time, with the strength of the Four Sound Ninjas, it is simply a fantasy to successfully abduct Uchiha Sasuke. To put it bluntly, four Sound Ninjas, even if they have opened the second seal of the curse, cannot defeat a Jonin in a one-on-one fight. It's just that their methods are weird and difficult to guard against. With this kind of strength, they want to fish in troubled waters in Konoha Village. Even though the village is not as good as it used to be and its strength has been greatly damaged, it is not a place where Sound Ninjas can come in casually.

Since this was the case, Shuimu decided not to go out in the middle of the night to join in the fun. Anyway, the four of them would be driven away soon.

But it's no wonder that Orochimaru couldn't hold on. He was really seriously injured. He probably went to find Tsunade and Uchiha Sasuke to make preparations. Or maybe he has been reincarnated and now just wants to hold Uchiha Sasuke in his hands for peace of mind.

Sure enough, when Mizuki opened his eyes the next morning, no one came to disturb him. It seemed that the troubles of the Sound Four were solved without causing much trouble. Mizuki didn't care whether they were driven away, captured or killed. Anyway, the potential of these guys had been almost destroyed by the curse.

No longer caring about other people's stories, Mizuki is also making final preparations for Sage Mode.

"I have never taken the wrong path from the beginning. Although I stumbled upon it by mistake at the beginning, I won't do that now. Natural energy, let me take a good look at where the world wants us to go."
