Mizuki has always found the customs and habits of the ninja world quite strange. In this world where the technology tree is distorted, the collision of trends and traditions is very common, but in the context of this war-torn era, they are perfectly integrated under the banner of pragmatism.

Although the level of technology has not yet reached the high-tech era that will be almost reached in more than a decade, many modern things have already appeared. For example, there are old-fashioned cameras like those used when ninjas registered, which need to be covered with black cloth to prevent exposure, and there are also some portable cameras. This kind of camera is small and light, and is quite popular. Although the imaging effect may not be as good as that of old regular cameras, it can already be seen as a precursor to scientific and technological progress and technological explosion.

However, he is still terribly stubborn about the traditions of etiquette and customs. Shuimu, who has never experienced the matter of "marriage" in his two lives, is actually quite uneasy in his heart.

Although I had been looking forward to this time point for a long time, I didn't pay attention to it. I didn't expect that it would arrive in the blink of an eye, and Shuimu's previous calmness had disappeared without a trace.

"Shui Mu, are you listening?" Seeing Shui Mu distracted again, Xiao Chun had to shake Shui Mu's eyes with his hands to attract his attention.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Xiaochun." Mizuki said apologetically after coming to his senses.

Xiaochun shook her head to show that she didn't mind.

"Are you too tired? Do you want to take a good rest?"

"No, I'm fine..." As for rest, Shuimu has not had any free time in the past few days. To say that he is tired, that is impossible.

"What do you want to say about the arrangements for the day after tomorrow?"

Most of the arrangements for the wedding details were made by Xiaochun. His fiancée, who arranged everything with ease, was indeed much more capable than himself. Although he also helped a lot, he was always busy with other things and couldn't be distracted too much. As a result, many things that he should have done himself were done by Xiaochun, which made Shuimu feel very ashamed.

Fortunately, neither Shuimu nor Xiaochun were from families with children. They were all war orphans. Xiaochun at least had a surname, and Shuimu had been using a name for more than 20 years. With such a bleak background, it would be enough to just invite some friends to witness the event. There was no need to make too many arrangements for the rest.

The world of ninjas is ever-changing, and major changes may happen at any time, so many things are kept simple. Some etiquette handed down from ancient times still exists, but meaningless red tape has no soil to exist. Ordinary people are not used to processes that are too complicated and wasteful of time.

Of course, there are exceptions to everything. For example, at the wedding of Uzumaki Naruto and Hyuga Hinata, the five major ninja villages and even the Kage came to give gifts, and a few people were specially appointed to receive red envelopes. Mizuki doesn't have the face to have such a grand ceremony. Even if the scale is reduced, Mizuki can't invite so many people. In addition, Mizuki doesn't like to make it too fancy. The main purpose of a wedding is to let relatives and friends witness the birth of a family. The rest is just to provide a scene platform to receive blessings. Happy things should be shared with friends. These are indispensable.

However, looking at the arrangement plan handed over by Xiaochun, Shuimu frowned.

"Xiaochun, aren't there too few of your friends?"

For the two people who had no burden and no power, the only people they could invite were colleagues and friends they dealt with on a daily basis. Originally, it was impossible for all of them to come due to various reasons. Many people could not come due to various reasons and changes. However, among the few people on the guest list provided by Xiaochun, except for a few colleagues from the Sealing Class who Mizuki had only met a few times and even did not match their names, the others were all people who became familiar with Xiaochun after they had some interactions with Mizuki, such as Mitarashi Anzu and Uzuki Yugao.

In response to Shuimu's question, Xiaochun said with some embarrassment: "The Sealing Class has a lot of tasks recently, and many people can't get away. Besides, there are only so many people."

"Really?" Shuimu was silent. Sealing class mission? Well, these missions are not that urgent. If there is really a difficult matter, it would be strange if he didn't find a master of sealing technique like himself. In the final analysis, it is still a question of the limit of one's network.

"Perhaps, this is the kind of networking environment that a normal Chunin can maintain. It seems that I am overthinking it."

Looking at the ninjas around him, Hyuga Hiashi's social behavior was a transactional relationship, and the others were Hatake Kakashi, Sarutobi Asuma, Yuhi Kurenai who was likely to return, Might Guy who was not sure if he could make it back, and several special jonins of the older generation such as Ino Shikacho, Yamashiro Aoba, and Hiroba Reito, as well as Umino Iruka and some acquaintances from the ninja school. If Mizuki was not a time traveler, perhaps only Iruka and a few colleagues who were familiar with him would come.

Even though Xiaochun has a talent for controlling chakra attribute changes that even Mizuki himself envies, she is unknown to the public and is just a different ninja who silently contributes her own efforts.

Facing these problems that were not even considered troublesome, Mizuki quickly forgot about them. Reputation? Popularity? Respect? Being in the limelight? Mizuki didn't care about these. As long as the Konoha high-level represented by Tsunade accepted him, and Shimura Danzo recognized his strength and influence and stopped treating him casually, Mizuki might not have the opportunity to deal with these people if it wasn't for his wedding.

Seeing that Shuimu was a little unhappy, Xiaochun asked, "What's wrong? Are you a little dissatisfied?"

"How could that be?" As his strength grew, Shuimu's heart became a little swollen. You can say he was confident or conceited. In fact, he could no longer care about many things. "I don't care, but I'm afraid you'll be unhappy."

Xiaochun smiled and then shook her head.

"It doesn't matter, as long as you are around, that doesn't matter."

Well, Shuimu felt a little ashamed after hearing this. Indeed, there is no need to think too much about some things. Being too utilitarian is not necessarily a good thing sometimes.

"But I can't just stand there and let you get hurt. I might have to resort to some dirty tricks..."

Mizuki made up his mind and closed the plan, then said to Xiaochun, "That's it, leave the rest to me. Some things are better for me to do."

Since Shuimu said so much, Xiaochun nodded and said, "Well, let's do this. After tomorrow, everything will be different."

"Yes, although there were some twists and turns, the result was not bad."

…

The next day, Shuimu went to visit Xianglin who had settled down early in the morning. For this little girl, it was good enough to have a place to live now. Although it was only a temporary residence, it was still a rare and good place.

Living in the shop, in fact, does not feel very cramped, in itself is a place of not small space, at that time there was a small room that was used as a temporary warehouse and a lounge, it is not a big deal to convert it into a bedroom. Moreover, giving her a part-time job might be a good thing. When Mizuki thought that a strong and violent girl three years later is still a weak and soft girl now, he felt a little unreal. A job that can barely support oneself can be regarded as taking root in Konoha. A gardener and a flower girl, in fact, is still in line with the positioning of a little girl of this age.

Mizuki also asked in detail why Karin came to him so foolishly, but the truth made Mizuki laugh bitterly. This little girl who had nothing was unable to keep the scroll that Mizuki gave her. When she was driven out, the only thing that seemed to have some value on her was the scroll. She didn't even have time to use it before it was confiscated by a bunch of idiots who couldn't understand anything. She had no choice but to come to Konoha Village alone and find this place that might take her in.

Sure enough, this world is not a stand-alone story game. If you haven't reached the level, you don't even have a storage bag or a backpack. What good things are there? How can such a little girl be qualified to keep them? The plan was well planned, but a small change made Shuimu's self-proclaimed exquisite layout go to waste, and it also brought unpredictable changes, which was really a headache.

"Mizuki-sensei? Thank you."

Giving timely assistance is not something that everyone who needs help will encounter. Karin also saw how much trouble Mizuki had caused by coming to her door like this.

Shuimu waved his hand and said, "That's it. Stay here until you find a new place to live. You know the arrangements. Don't enter unfamiliar places or do anything suspicious. After all, you are new here and you can't be trusted."

"I understand. I'll pay attention."

"Then come here. Just follow Xiaochun's instructions while I'm gone. He'll tell you what to do."

…

After explaining some things, Shuimu left. Not long after walking, Shuimu suddenly stopped and asked, "Do you want to talk to me about something?"

Just as he finished speaking, a figure walked over from the corner not far away. It was Uchiha Sasuke who hadn't been seen for many days.

"Mr. Mizuki, are you free? There's something I want to talk to you about."

Although the request was a bit abrupt, there was still time to say a few words, and for Kakashi's sake, I would try to help in any way I could.
