"Strange?" Shuimu asked casually with a smile.

"How should I put it?" Kakashi seemed a little embarrassed and said, "That female Mizukage seems to be very interested in my true appearance under the mask."

"Isn't this normal?"

"Normally speaking, shouldn't we pay more attention to more important things? That's the Mizukage..."

"Female Mizukage!" Mizuki emphasized.

"Ahem." Kakashi said uncomfortably, "Why don't you come with me later."

"No, I have to go to the Hidden Mist Village later to see the level of the barrier in this village."

Shuimu shook his head and said, "Besides, I don't think it will be helpful if I go, and it will only make things worse for you."

"How come?" Kakashi asked in confusion.

Mizuki said lightly, "Because I'm already a married male ninja!"

This reason was indeed very powerful, leaving Kakashi speechless.

"So, Kakashi, you should use your advantages flexibly, maybe you can give us an advantage!"

"How is that possible?" Kakashi said with a wry smile, "Not many people are interested in my true appearance."

"You're under the illusion that I'm not interested? That's because I already know what you look like."

"Really? Have you seen it?" Kakashi asked uncertainly. Although he concealed it very well, many people who had dealt with him still knew his true face.

"Of course." Shuimu nodded to confirm that he had indeed seen him in his previous life.

As he said that, Mizuki turned to the Genin not far away and said, "Hey, Naruto, Sakura, have you guys never seen the true face of Kakashi teacher?"

The topic brought up by Mizuki immediately piqued the interest of the Genin.

"This is not good." Kakashi looked at the eyes staring at him in embarrassment, "The true appearance of the ninja is also very important information. I will not disclose it casually."

"No way, didn't Mr. Mizuki just say that he had seen it?"

"You heard wrong. He said he had seen my old self. Many years have passed, and I have changed a lot..."

…

After finally sending the curious kids away, Kakashi came to Mizuki and asked, "The noisy guys are finally gone, now let's get down to business."

Kakashi paused and said, "There are two important things at the moment. The first is the Chunin Exam. The next one will most likely be held in Konoha?"

"Us again? Shouldn't it usually be held in rotation among the allied countries?"

"There's nothing we can do about it. Several of the big ninja villages are not in good shape right now. Let alone the Kirigakure and Sandagakure, their situations are much worse than ours. Takigakure and Amegakure have bad relations with us, and whether they participate in the Chunin Exam depends on their mood. Not to mention the other ninja villages, they simply don't have the strength to hold the Chunin Exam. As for the Kumogakure and Iwagakure, they are powerful, but they are not our allies and our relations are not good either."

"So, it all falls on us in the end?"

"Well, Lady Tsunade thinks this is a good thing. We should get up from where we fell. Orochimaru used the Chunin Exam as a breakthrough point to attack Konoha. If we successfully hold another Chunin Exam, we can also wash away the shame of our poor response last time."

"This is still suitable, but it will make us work harder."

The security of the Chunin Exam will have to be more stringent, and the executors, Kakashi and Mizuki, will definitely not be able to escape.

In addition, the performance of the jonin and genin in the Chunin Exam is directly related to the reputation of Konoha Village, so this cannot be taken lightly. Not to mention the alliance agreement with the Hidden Mist Village.

"Just keep it in mind." Kakashi also knew that the matter was of great importance, so he had to let Mizuki know clearly, "The second thing is what I just said about the ninja school. Lady Tsunade has agreed to provide appropriate assistance, but we will not send personnel to participate directly. Instead, the Hidden Mist Village will send envoys to Konoha to study permanently."

"This is a matter between the Ninja School and the big guys, right? What are we going to do?"

"You are still a full-time teacher at the Ninja School, so there are some things that are appropriate for you to do, such as giving appropriate instructions and observations, and finding out about the status of the reserve forces of the Hidden Mist Village."

"The latter point is the key." Shuimu said painfully, "It seems to be very troublesome."

"This does not conflict with your previous arrangements, it just has a different focus."

"Okay. I understand the situation, but why did it turn out like this? Lady Tsunade won't just give in so easily."

"They provided intelligence about the Akatsuki organization, Hoshigaki Kisame, Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish, Uchiha Itachi, and even top-secret information about the previous Mizukage."

"Top secret?" Although Shuimu already knew most of the information, he was still surprised by Meiming's courage. Not everyone can expose one's own family secrets.

"You should go to Lady Tsunade to verify the specific information."

"Just for this matter, the Hidden Mist Village has put so much effort. Is it worth it?"

It was not worthwhile to pay real money and top-secret information for an illusory future. Moreover, such a weak Mizukage was not like Mei Terumi's style at all.

"In fact, they didn't give anything. They exchanged some secrets that can only be taken to the grave for a little help. Isn't it normal? And we only paid a little knowledge and results. It can be regarded as each getting what they need."

Well, as long as Tsunade and Mei Terumi don't feel that they are losing out, Mizuki doesn't care. These are things that will be known to others sooner or later, so there is no harm in cooperating.

"Will that have an impact on our last mission? There are so many more things to do. Will the village send someone else to take over the relevant matters?"

Kakashi shook his head and said, "No, I'll leave the initial work to you. You don't need to do too much, just answer their questions. For the specific matters, let them send someone to Konoha to discuss in detail."

"I understand. The specific details of the agreement are left to you. I will be the eyes behind the scenes. I will read more and think more. I will also answer some irrelevant questions. Just keep the cooperation pleasant."

Kakashi sighed and said, "You're always so direct."

"It's not wrong anyway."

"Okay, you really don't want to go with me to meet the female Mizukage?"

Shui Mu shook his head firmly: "I'll tell you a secret, I finally found out today!" Shui Mu lowered his voice and said, "It is said that this female Mizukage has reached the right age to get married, but she has been on blind dates many times but nothing has worked out. She is very worried about getting married. Don't ask any questions related to this, and don't say anything that may cause misunderstanding!"
