"Since this matter didn't work out, why did you come to me again?"

Being a jonin leader teacher is something that Mizuki can do without. Although he is not very willing to be a babysitter, if Mizuki is really assigned, it doesn't matter. Anyway, in a year or two, these three people will be promoted to chunin, and by then, Mizuki will not need to take care of them too much.

The main reason is that Mizuki and the Hyuga represented by Hinata Hyuga have already had a tacit understanding, so there is no need to interfere too much in Hinata Hyuga's affairs, and to establish a connection in a roundabout way. As for Aburame and Inuzuka, well, Mizuki can't teach Hinata Hyuga soft fist, nor can he teach Inuzuka Kiba how to walk the dog, let alone teach Aburame Shino how to play with insects. And there is actually no special need between them, so it's really not worth it to cause trouble for yourself.

Asuma said helplessly: "Lady Tsunade just said that there are other arrangements, but it seems that she has not made up her mind. So, I want to see if you have any ideas?"

Shuimu stroked his forehead and said angrily, "I'm still on vacation now, and you're asking me to think about adding more work for myself. Aren't you making things difficult for me..."

"I can't help it. After today, I may not be able to bother you for a long time."

Mizuki is going to take a vacation for his wedding tomorrow and has no time to care about these things. When the vacation is over, I guess I won’t know where Tsunade will send me again.

"So you're in such a hurry to come and cause trouble for me now?"

"Yeah." The bearded man actually nodded in acknowledgment. "I can't help it. You have so many ideas. Maybe you have some good ideas."

Hearing Asuma Sarutobi so shamelessly asking Mizuki to find a way to cause trouble for him, Mizuki wondered if this guy had been bewitched by Kurenai Yuhi.

Putting down the chopsticks in his hand, Mizuki asked Sarutobi Asuma seriously:

"Asma, I want to ask you something." Shuimu had to say a few more words to this guy who was so willful that he ran away from home when he was young, and now he is at the age of getting married, and he seems rough but actually has low emotional intelligence.

"When the Third-Kai appointed you, Kakashi, and Beni as the leading jonin, did he ask for your opinions?"

Asuma Sarutobi thought about it carefully and shook his head and replied, "No."

"So, in fact, we don't have the right to decide on this matter. At most, we can learn from Kakashi." Mizuki had to tell this naive guy about Kakashi's "glorious deeds". "If you don't like it, it's a pity to just eliminate these ignorant little guys and send them back to the ninja school. This is all we can do. We can refuse in disguise, but we can't give or take privately."

Mizuki's meaning is very clear. The three Genin of Team 8 are students of Kurenai Yuhi, but in the final analysis, they are all ninjas of Konoha, and the decision-making power lies in the hands of the Hokage. In addition to the organizational superior-subordinate relationship, they all have to obey the orders of the Hokage.

After thinking seriously for a while, Sarutobi Asuma couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Could it be that all my hard work is actually useless and in vain?"

"You can't do anything even if you come to me. If I go to Tsunade-sama and ask her to be the leader of Team 8, do you think Tsunade-sama will agree or just punch me away?"

Without waiting for Asuma to answer, Mizuki continued, "So, you are too enthusiastic. In fact, the one who is most anxious is not you and Hong, but our Godaime Hokage."

Konoha's new sprouts have not been arranged well. No one is doing this important work, which has a great impact on the future of the village. Of course, the one who sees it most clearly is the one who stands the highest. As for which one Tsunade will choose in the end, it is none of Mizuki's business.

After drinking the last bit of wine, Asma leaned back dejectedly, his frustration evident in his words. After a long while, he seemed to have recovered a little, and then lit another cigarette.

“I have never thought about these things before…”

"You didn't have to think about it then, Asuma, because your father was the Hokage. Of course, you don't have to think about it now either. Just keep your enthusiasm."

"Didn't you say it was useless?"

"Ninjas are also human beings, and they are not beyond human feelings. Whether you are worrying about Team 8 out of meddling or to please Hong, it is not a bad thing. The original intention is not important. The first priority is to determine a leader for Team 8 as soon as possible. So, it is not completely meaningless. At least, let others pay attention to this matter."

"Ah, you're not saying this to comfort me, are you?"

"How could that be? I don't have the time to comfort a grown man, and you don't need comfort."

Shui Mu smiled and said, "First of all, you have to understand this matter. The most important thing is to confirm the candidate as soon as possible. As for whether it is me, it depends on the situation. This is not very important..."

"How can it be unimportant? At least I feel more at ease knowing someone I know..."

"I don't really agree with that." Mizuki shook his head. "The one who has the best relationship with Hong is Mitarashi Anko, right? If she becomes the team leader, is that okay?"

“That’s not good.”

Precisely because we are too familiar with each other, I am well aware of her quirks and feel even more worried.

"So, there are also people in the Anbu under Tsunade-sama. Transferring an Anbu here is the most likely option."

"Anbu?" After hearing Mizuki's judgment, Asuma was a little hesitant, "If that's the case, I wonder if he will be someone who is easy to talk to."

…

Watching Asuma leave, Shuimu sighed. This guy really meddled in other people's business this time. To put it more seriously, he actually exceeded his authority. Of course, this matter has been delayed for so long, and it should be resolved.

"Everyone has gone far away, why don't you come out?" Shuimu suddenly said.

Sure enough, a figure walked over from the hidden corner. It was Nara Shikamaru, who looked exhausted.

"What's wrong? Are you busy lately?" Seeing Shikamaru's expression, Mizuki couldn't help but ask. Even the guy who was always afraid of trouble looked so tired.

"After being defeated by the Godaime, Hokage-sama wants to see what Asuma-sensei will do next..."

"So you came directly to me?" This guy was really smart and found the right direction immediately.

"I feel relieved after hearing what Teacher Mizuki said." There are really not many smart people in the world who worry about their teachers' students.

"Also, there is one thing that Mr. Mizuki may have miscalculated. Lady Tsunade asked me to tell you that you should seriously consider what to do if you really replace the teacher who leads Team 8."

Shuimu was also shocked when he heard this. This was very different from what he expected.
