If we must describe Mizuki's life these days, the phrase "unable to take care of oneself" should be able to summarize all the ups and downs. Clothes come to you when you stretch out your hand, food comes to you when you open your mouth, someone pours water when you are thirsty, and someone massages your legs when you are tired. This comfortable life is really enviable. Eating, drinking, defecating and urinating, the first two words are worthy of being a god's life, but ninjas are not real gods after all. After eating and drinking, they always have to "defecate" and "urinate". In just a few days, Mizuki felt that the "embarrassment" and "morality" of a lifetime have been thrown away, even if it is his fiancée who takes care of him. It is really hard to explain to outsiders the taste unless you try it yourself.

"It seems that memory and experience are really not the same thing. Even possession and assimilation are different."

It was like the ninja experience of his predecessor Mizuki. Although he already knew everything, could a landlubber learn to swim by reading a swimming manual 10,000 times? No matter how he looked at it, it was impossible.

If it were just an entertainment work like anime, anything would be fine as long as it was interesting. But in the real world, everything must be reasonable and self-consistent. It is not something that anyone can do casually for a white-collar worker to transform into a combat genius. Ordinary people should first earn experience points and practice skill proficiency. There is really no room for too many unrealistic fantasies between life and death, not to mention that the child of destiny in this era is not you.

Before the hero sacrificed himself to save others, he could not think of Lei Feng and Qiu Shaoyun. When Shuimu was fighting with others, he had no time to pay special attention to the original Shuimu's combat experience. He was neither trembling on the battlefield for the first time, nor did he feel like a veteran soldier who had killed many people. Everything was just relying on the desire to seek benefits and avoid harm, slowly mobilizing the body's combat instincts and experience, and gradually being able to integrate them. Only by splashing in the water more often can you test the skills in the swimming manual and gradually learn to swim. Only by fighting more can you verify the various combat methods in your memory and then use them for yourself.

"The gap between body and consciousness can only be eliminated gradually through practice and the passage of time. This cannot be taken lightly." Shuimu couldn't help but sigh.

"Xiao Chun, do you think I should change my career?" Shui Mu suddenly said something shocking while eating the orange handed to him by Xiao Chun.

"What?" Chie Tsubaki was confused.

"You see, being a ninja is such a dangerous profession. This time, I almost couldn't come back. Take this injury for example. I don't know how much it will cost to fully recover. I have been taking all kinds of tonic medicines these days, as well as so many fruits, fish and meat. How much will it cost? Even with such a small salary, it's not enough to fill my stomach."

"It's okay. I have money here. I can give it to you."

"How much can you possibly have? You've been taking leave every day to come to the hospital to take care of me these past few days, and your salary has been deducted almost completely, so how can that be enough?"

"I still have quite a bit of money." Xiao Chun hesitated and confessed, "I have saved a lot of it for use after I get married."

Shuimu was speechless after hearing this. This wife’s skills have been maxed out and she is just waiting to change her job.

"It's not good to always spend your money." Mizuki continued, "Recently, it seems that acting in movies and being an artist is very profitable. It seems too hasty to become a star directly. How about we become comedians together and perform magic tricks? You see, you and I should form a comedy group, which should be good. It's too easy to use ninjutsu to deceive ordinary people. Once we have enough experience, we can act in movies and make a lot of money. How about it?"

"But~but~" Xiao Chun looked reluctant, but didn't know how to refute, "Let's not do it, how about we open a flower shop, I have a lot of experience in planting some things~"

"Selling things is a way." Mizuki had no idea what he was thinking about. "Do you want to discuss with Iruka and mobilize all the students in the ninja school to buy things? It's not appropriate. Parents will complain. How about adding some training subjects and wholesale materials from me? How difficult is it to shoot wood with a kunai? How about shooting flowers? This is much more difficult. Let's do it this way. It's much easier to cheat the village's funds than to cheat the students' parents. If Iruka disagrees, we can give him a dividend. Give him half of the dividend, add some favors, and I think it will make sense. Xiaochun, this can be done~"

"But~" Xiaochun, who had long been shocked by Mizuki's delusion, retorted, "Wouldn't it be bad if we were discovered?"

Shuimu, who was about to continue to tempt, had no time to say anything when he suddenly heard a cough coming from the door.

"Master Sandaime, why are you here?" Shuimu couldn't help but greet him awkwardly. The operation to defraud funds hasn't even started yet and it seems like it's going to fail in the womb. Why didn't Xiaochun close the door? He was so careless.

"Third-generation master~" Xiaochun quickly stood up and greeted him.

"Don't be nervous. I heard that Shuimu's injury has improved, so I came to see him." Sandai said kindly, "But it seems that he heard something extraordinary."

Xiaochun could only smile awkwardly. Shuimu had no choice but to say, "I think you heard it wrong. I was eating the whole time and didn't say anything."

"Really? Haha." Sandai didn't care and continued, "I heard from Ibiki and Aoba about the last mission. The village intelligence was wrong and you had to work hard."

"You worry too much. Ninjas are born for this kind of thing. It is our duty to eliminate accidents and complete the mission."

"Yes." The Sandai did not comment on this statement, "The village will not treat fellow ninjas harshly. This time you suffered a great loss and consumed a lot, especially you, Mizuki. Is there anything you need help with?"

"It's nothing serious for now." Shuimu said modestly, "But my recent research on sealing techniques and spiritualism has reached a bottleneck. I wonder if the village has any skills in this area?"

"There's no problem with summoning spirit beasts. Although summoning spirit beasts are a secret of many families, the methods of using them are actually similar. There's nothing special about them. The village will give you some information on this."

“Thank you very much.”

"Sealing techniques are more complicated. Apart from some forbidden techniques, ordinary sealing techniques have actually been circulated. The remaining information on sealing arrays and barrier techniques generally has extremely high requirements and requires multiple people to perform them at the same time. Do you need these?"

"Yes, yes, Third-generation Master. It doesn't need to be too advanced. Basic information will be enough."

"Okay, I'll send them to you later. These aren't very important things, but I hope they're useful to you. This is the best help the village can provide."

"You're very kind, and I've been very helpful. Thank you very much for that."

"Okay, I'm leaving now. You should get better soon. The village is in need of help right now."

"I understand. Take care."

As the third generation left, Mizuki breathed a sigh of relief.

"Xiaochun, make sure to lock the door next time."

"Um."

The visit of the Third Hokage was like a small episode, and it also made Mizuki feel flattered. For Mizuki, the biggest gain was not the ninjutsu information or something like that, but the Third Hokage made clear the attitude of the village - let bygones be bygones. This could also be regarded as the final victory of the whitewashing campaign in the past few months. The confirmation of the camp was a big deal. Even if something unexpected happened in the future, such as a falling out with Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi, and the other side spread unfavorable rumors that he was a spy, the village would not believe the enemy's words casually, at least not like the current overt or covert investigation and surveillance. It could be regarded as a bright moon after waiting for a long time.

"Xiaochun, my hair is too long. Cut it for me."

"good."

"Give me a crazy nobleman hairstyle, the kind that can't be messed up even by the strong wind~"

"What is that?" Xiaochun was completely unable to keep up with Shuimu's imagination.

"Forget it, shoulder-length straight hair with small bangs in the front."

"knew."

"I'll also have chocolate fondue later, with extra ice cream."

"I can't do that."

"Then let's have a big bowl of seafood udon instead, no onions and cilantro, more garlic."

There was a sudden "bang" sound, followed by chakra smoke and a burly figure appeared.

"Asshole, are all ninjas so rude? Didn't they see the door was locked, yet they suddenly barged in with such a loud noise?" Shuimu was unhappy, "I want to see who is so ignorant as to interrupt the couple's private conversation."

When the smoke cleared, it was Morino Ibiki who appeared. Looking at that face full of scary scars, Shuimu swallowed back his anger.

"Isn't this Captain Ibiki? What brings you here so suddenly?"

"The mission is completed. I am no longer the captain." Ibiki said seriously, "Regarding the arrangements for the next Chunin Exam, due to your accidental serious injury, the original tasks have been adjusted. All your patrol and protection tasks have been cancelled. You will be the assistant examiner of the first written examination and the mobile substitute of the second examination at the Death Forest. The third exam will be held a month after the second one. I believe you will be almost well. You will be temporarily assigned as a member of the venue protection force to assist Hatake Kakashi. We will discuss the specific matters later. The arrangements are here, take a look."

Mizuki took the task list, glanced at it and said, "Isn't this just asking me to slack off in the first and second games? I didn't expect your face to be so scary, Ibiki. You are actually a good person. Haha, thank you very much."

"This is not to ask you to be lazy." Morino Ibiki's eyebrows twitched, "Forget it, it's just like that anyway, you should have a good rest, I'm leaving first." After saying that, Ibiki opened the door and left.

"These guys were rude when they came in, and they didn't even close the door when they left. It's really immoral, don't you think, Xiaochun?"

“I don’t think so.”

"Forget it, but Xiaochun, your haircut is crooked~" After I'm discharged from the hospital, I'll go and ask her to wash, cut and blow-dry my hair.
