Chapter 207: Behind Closed Doors



With the help of Hyuga Hiashi, he became the team leader not long after becoming a Jonin. This situation could only become a reality naturally during this period of time due to various unexpected coincidences.

While Hyuga Neji and Hyuga Hinata were still practicing the soft fist, Mizuki said hello to Hyuga Hiashi and left. He did not have any contact with Hyuga Hinata, his subordinate. Anyway, starting from tomorrow, there will be a long time for communication at any time.

After leaving the Hyuga family's mansion, Mizuki went straight home. As long as he didn't leave the village for a mission, returning home on time for dinner was considered a daily routine for a married man.

Shuimu enjoyed the life at home before the mission, eating delicious meals, and basically did not need to worry too much. The days when he used to think about what to eat and where to eat for three meals a day were gone. Xiaochun began to take care of many things legitimately.

"Xiaochun, is your work still normal?"

Mizuki, who was eating peacefully, suddenly asked.

"It's OK." Xiaochun nodded, "It's a little more tiring than before, and time is tight."

"That's good. If you have any questions, tell me."

Female ninjas are quite special. There are very few female ninjas who are still serving in the army at an older age. Many female ninjas will choose to get married and have children at the right age, and then retire from the front-line combat sequence. After all, the ninja world is still a male-dominated society. Even if there are a few famous female ninjas, even female Hokage, female Mizukage, and female Tsuchikage in the future, this trend cannot be changed.

Ninjas like Kotsubaki who are not directly combat-type are better. For example, once Yuhi Kurenai gets married and has children, it is unreasonable to ask her to abandon her children to go out of the village to do missions without anyone to take care of them.

"Shui Mu." Xiao Chun seemed to remember something and asked hesitantly.

"What's wrong?"

Something happened right after I finished speaking. This is too fast!

"What are you going to do with Karin?" Tsubaki replied, "That little girl was originally a ninja, right? Is it a pity to just let her be a craftsman?"

"Karin?" Mizuki smiled and said, "You know a lot about her. You've only known her for a short time, right? Are you starting to sympathize with her?"

"It's so pitiful. She's a good little girl. She was displaced and came to Konoha. It's a good thing. Besides, her good ninja talent should not be wasted."

"Talent? What did you discover?"

"Perception, you know? Karin's perception is amazing. She can remember the road she has walked once very clearly. When she goes out to deliver goods, everything goes smoothly. She has never had a problem of not being able to find her." As if to enhance the persuasiveness, Xiaochun continued, "I have also tried to approach her quietly, but I have never succeeded. It seems that I have been discovered from a distance."

"You have observed very carefully. Karin is indeed very talented."

"Oh, so you know everything?"

Xiaochun was a little surprised, "No wonder you were able to convince her to come to Konoha, she is indeed a good seedling."

"Not only that, Tsubaki, this Karin is not someone to be pitied. She is just in a difficult situation for the time being."

He was able to occupy a high position under Orochimaru, manage a hidden base in an orderly manner, kill decisively without losing any opportunity, and give up without hesitation when things were impossible. These shining points in his character were now obscured by temporary difficulties.

"In that case, why don't you make some arrangements? Don't you trust her?"

Mizuki shook his head and replied, "It's not a problem in that regard. In fact, I am only managing here on behalf of others. Although I am called a guardian, in fact, all arrangements still have to be made by the Hokage."

Shuimu could only give some suggestions for Karin's arrangement. As an acquaintance, he was just a bridge of communication between the village and Karin. The influence of the Uzumaki bloodline was still too great. If something happened, Shuimu might not be able to handle it.

After all, Karin is an outsider ninja, and she is different from the natives. If she is too ostentatious, she might be excluded and have difficulty integrating into the Konoha Village. Genin who is not selected by the Konoha system will have many problems. The pressure of integrating them into the Konoha system is much more difficult than letting Mizuki be the leader.

"Are there any other difficulties?"

It is normal to keep Karin's origin a secret, after all, she doesn't have Uzumaki's last name in front of her name, and it is unclear whether her bloodline comes from her father or mother. All of this cannot be accurately verified.

"Let's not talk about the difficulties for now." Shuimu thought for a while and said, "If you have time, you can teach her some basic ninjutsu and chakra control techniques. You don't have to interfere too much with her development. She is a bloodline ninja with inheritance..."

"Bloodline? Inheritance?" Xiaochun was stunned for a moment, then understood, "I see, it seems that you and Lady Tsunade already have a plan."

"Well, Lady Tsunade will arrange it. Don't worry too much. We just need to do the current work. If you have time, teach her the basics of sealing techniques. This will be of great use to her."

It is more reliable for members of the Uzumaki family to learn sealing techniques. Not all members of the Uzumaki family are children of destiny like Nagato and Uzumaki Naruto.

The next day, Mizuki arrived at the meeting place for the mission early and led the Genin to do the mission. This was not the first time Mizuki had done this, but he had never done much teaching during the mission. Originally, their teachers would be responsible for this, but now, Mizuki had to worry about it all the time.

There was still some time left, so Shuimu found a quiet place, set up a simple magic array, and then began his daily practice of perceiving natural energy. Because of the injury to his meridians, he had interrupted his practice for several days, but now he could finally continue. He felt pretty good these two days, without any discomfort. It was better to say that his perception of natural energy had greatly improved. However, he had never found the opportunity to perceive natural energy without using the tailed beast's chakra.

"It seems that this is not a problem that can be solved by practice, but there are more fundamental and deep rules that have not been figured out."

Now Mizuki's personal strength has really reached a bottleneck. With the Sage Mode, he is the first stable and reliable combat force, but this is not enough. Even the strength of a "human-shaped tailed beast" is still not enough. The progress of the fake Jinchūriki seems to have fallen into some kind of shackles.

"Not everyone can build a complete power system independently. The limitations of working in isolation finally brought troubles..."
