Sasuke was thrown into disarray by the sudden news and was so surprised that he couldn't think of any words to communicate with Mizuki.

Patting the uneasy Uchiha Sasuke on the shoulder, Mizuki said:

"If you place your hopes on others, I advise you to give up as soon as possible. Proper guidance is also important, but it is not the most important. Your achievements will ultimately depend on yourself..."

"I am alone, but what should I do?" Sasuke said in frustration. Sasuke had no idea what to do and didn't even know the direction.

"Isn't this the time to demonstrate your talent? Have you completed your Chidori's transformation?"

The potential of Chidori Style is indeed quite excellent. Before Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke were forcibly strengthened by Yin-Yang Style, the practicality of Chidori was better than Rasengan.

"No." Sasuke said regretfully, "Although there is some progress, but my body can't hold on any longer."

As he spoke, Uchiha Sasuke removed the bandages on his hands and arms, revealing a series of scars.

"I can only do this with Sakura's help. But, this is almost my limit."

"I'm glad you understand." Shuimu nodded, "You're not stupid enough to overdraw your long-term potential for a little short-term progress."

In the final analysis, it was the physical differences. Sasuke's body was still far inferior to Uzumaki Naruto's in terms of physique. Moreover, medical ninjutsu also had its limits. If used too much and too frequently, the excessive stimulation of the body would cause serious consequences. Like Mizuki's body, overdrawing vitality was the most troublesome. Other problems would also arise.

"Is there nothing we can do? Can we just wait like this?"

Even if Uchiha Itachi hasn't cast another illusion on Sasuke to intensify his mental stimulation, for Sasuke who is determined to take revenge, the slow growth in strength is already unbearable, let alone waiting for his body to grow with age with almost no progress?

This problem is actually very difficult to solve. In the final analysis, it still requires the cooperation of real and valuable pharmacist masters and medical ninjas to get around the shackles of the body and age to some extent, so that Sasuke's strength can grow rapidly. Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi can do this. In Konoha, if Tsunade and Shimura Danzo's "Root" cooperate with each other, they may be able to do the same thing. However, this possibility can only be thought of in dreams. Not to mention whether Tsunade has the time and is willing to help, handing Uchiha Sasuke over to Shimura Danzo's "Root" is not much different from letting a sheep fall into a tiger's mouth. Therefore, this thing will not work.

"You ask me, I don't know either." It's not that Mizuki is shirking responsibility, but he really doesn't know. Uchiha Sasuke's style is the type of comprehensive development of ninjutsu, taijutsu and genjutsu. It would be a huge waste if any of his talents were not developed. With Mizuki's knowledge, let alone ninjutsu, the reserve is really pitiful. He is using some basic fire escape techniques to deal with it. The highest ninjutsu is only one fire escape technique - the Great Dragon Fire Technique.

As for physical skills, maybe it would be appropriate to leave it to Kakashi, so Mizuki won't say anything more.

The only thing that might help him is illusion, which might not hinder Sasuke's talent. However, the illusion of the Uchiha family relies more on the Sharingan, so Sasuke will probably have to explore it more on his own.

Without the protection of the Uchiha family, even the orthodox inheritance was lost, and without formal family education, it is not surprising that Uchiha Sasuke lost his way in the search for strength. In Konoha, those who wanted to help him were unable to help, and those who were able to help were unwilling to help, and they also had ulterior motives. As a proud Uchiha clan, how could they endure the sympathetic eyes of others who looked at them like pitiful creatures wandering under the sword? The so-called praise for genius, what is a promising Genin? What Konoha lacks the least is genius. The so-called praise is more of a remembrance of the former Uchiha's strength. As for Uchiha Sasuke, he is still far from holding up the Uchiha flag again.

"But, as I said before, the key lies in you. If you have any difficulties, your teacher Kakashi can help you. Of course, you can also come to me. If I can help, I will not hide anything from you."

No matter what, teaching our compatriots and future generations is our responsibility.

"Thank you, Mr. Mizuki." The conversation was almost over, and Sasuke thanked Mizuki for taking the time to listen to his complaints. "I always thought that Mr. Mizuki didn't like me very much..."

"Haha." Shuimu smiled, "You're right. Seriously speaking, I really don't like you very much."

"Huh?" Sasuke, who was rarely polite, was choked by Mizuki's words.

"Are you wondering why I don't like you and tell you so much?"

"Yeah." Sasuke nodded.

"The main reason is that Sasuke, you are too arrogant."

"Arrogant?" Sasuke didn't quite understand the relationship between this adjective and himself. How could a jonin teacher call him arrogant?

"I say this not because you are disrespecting anyone, but because of the pride that comes from my bones."

It doesn't matter if you say a few words before you leave.

"Proud? Isn't that a bad thing?"

"How could that be? Pride and humility are two adjectives. Which one is good and which one is bad? A lofty person will not associate with those who are servile and despicable. A brave and hardworking person will not look down on the attitude of being submissive and playing it safe. My impression of you is somewhat similar to this. If I have to use one word to describe it, it would be incompatible."

"Compatibility?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand." Shuimu waved his hand. "You just need to know that as a senior and teacher, I am much more reliable than you think."

"I see." Accurately judging the situation is also one of the important talents of a ninja. Sasuke understood what Mizuki wanted to say, "Is this how a jonin behaves?"

"That's not right, Sasuke." Mizuki replied with a chuckle, "This is the generosity of an adult."

"Mana?" Sasuke couldn't help but think of the attitude of Uchiha Itachi when he said this word, and couldn't help but think deeply.

"Okay, is there anything else you want to ask?"

"No more. Thank you for troubling Mr. Mizuki today."

"It's okay." Giving ideological lessons to a stubborn child is actually not that tiring. You just need to be careful not to say anything that shouldn't be said.

"By the way, Mr. Mizuki, I heard that you are getting married. Congratulations."

"Thank you, Sasuke. Keep working hard. Your talent is no worse than Itachi's. I can confirm that..."

"Well, I won't bother you anymore." Sasuke bowed, turned around and left.

Looking at Sasuke's leaving back, Mizuki was also filled with emotion.

"It seems that I have also made the mistake of looking at people through tinted glasses..."

After interacting with Sasuke more, Mizuki realized that some of Sasuke's views he had previously viewed were actually biased.

This child who grew up in deception is not as cold-hearted and ungrateful as he originally imagined. In the original work, Sasuke, even after defecting and defeating Uzumaki Naruto in the Valley of the End, did not kill his friend and companion. He gave himself the reason that he did not want to follow the path arranged by Uchiha Itachi. In Mizuki's opinion, it was more because he couldn't do it. Moreover, when he was training with Orochimaru, he rarely killed innocent people. The reason he said was that he wanted to leave the killing intention to those he wanted to kill. This far-fetched reason is not enough to show that Uchiha Sasuke is soft-hearted. In the final analysis, Sasuke is still a decisive person, much tougher than Uzumaki Naruto. However, he is definitely not the cold-hearted person that Mizuki originally thought. If he was really cruel and killed people without feeling guilty, he might not be able to open the Mangekyō Sharingan.

In general, this child is just one of those who is struggling desperately against fate.

Finally, Shuimu was the only one left in the huge training ground. Then, facing an empty corner, Shuimu suddenly said, "Everyone has left, why don't you come out?"

Sure enough, in the place where there was no one, the figure of Hatake Kakashi gradually emerged.

"It's okay this time, thank you for your help."

"What on earth are you doing?" Shuimu asked in confusion, "You should know clearly what words can't be said and what words are not suitable for Sasuke to know for the time being..."

"Alas, I took it for granted this time." Kakashi said somewhat awkwardly, "I originally thought that telling him something would make him feel that the hope of revenge was slim, and it would be better to give up."

"Why do you have such an idea?" Mizuki was at a loss whether to laugh or cry after hearing Kakashi Hatake's explanation.

"Sasuke is a genius, and you were once a more outstanding genius than him. At this age, you are already a jonin. If it were you, would you give up just because you are not as skilled as others? Especially since you are from the proud Uchiha family?"

"I originally wanted Sasuke to give up the sad idea of ​​revenge, so I unknowingly said a few more words, but I regretted it the moment I said it."

"What you can do, not everyone can do, Kakashi."

Hatake Kakashi had the "death" of Uchiha Obito to shake his soul, so that he could understand his true heart and finally walk out of the darkness. But Sasuke is still far from that step.

"So, I'm sorry to trouble you again this time." It's good that I can calm Sasuke's restless heart temporarily and then slowly enlighten him.

"However, you actually made up that Orochimaru was also defeated by Uchiha Itachi. How dare you say that?"

"Fabrication? Kakashi, when did you get the illusion that I was lying?"

"Huh?" He had only asked casually, but he had not expected Mizuki to tell him an unexpected piece of news. "No way, Orochimaru was defeated?"

"Yes, not recently, but a few years ago..."
