In Orochimaru's eyes, apart from his curiosity about this world and his desire for immortality, most other people and things only have value for use in his mind.

Jiraiya has deep feelings for this world, especially Konoha Village. He can be very tolerant of his compatriots. Even if they go astray, Jiraiya rarely asks about these trivial matters. Not long ago, Jiraiya gave up the position of Hokage that was within his grasp without hesitation, which is actually a reflection of his true inner thoughts. He really can't handle all the troublesome things in detail. Jiraiya, who has been guided by the immortal of Myoboku Mountain since he was a child, has gradually had some doubts about the so-called prophecy, but the ideal of making the world full of peace makes him not give up any possibility. As long as the desired result can be achieved, even if there are deviations in the process, Jiraiya has the confidence to correct the mistakes with his own strength.

As for Mizuki, a few months ago, he was still a little interested in the Four Sound Ninjas. Now, maybe Sakon and Ukon's summoning technique - Rashomon may still have some value, and Ukon's bloodline limit secret technique - Parasitic Demon Destruction Technique can still make Mizuki look sideways. But it's only to this extent. Summoning - Rashomon itself is a ninjutsu that has been passed down from Konoha, and more advanced applications - Triple Rashomon and Five Rashomon are not impossible to obtain. Ukon's bloodline limit is still worth studying, but as for using it, forget it. Mizuki, who has cellular-level chakra control, is not afraid of any Parasitic Demon Destruction Technique. If he dares to enter his body, Mizuki can make him go without return. Mizuki can also think of more than one other way to resist. The young Inuzuka Kiba and Kankuro can defeat them, so their potential is just that. In the end, Mizuki only drew a little blood from each of the three Sound Ninjas as research samples. Then he threw them all to Hatake Kakashi to deal with. Kakashi is more experienced in dealing with prisoners.

The Konoha ninjas defeated the enemy without any danger, and then successfully arrived at the Land of Fire. The captain of the Anbu who had followed them all the way left the team, and then the eight Konoha ninjas and two Mist ninjas returned to Konoha Village smoothly after two days of travel, bringing this mission to an end.

If you ask Mizuki what was the most profound feeling during this mission, Mizuki couldn't say it. The communication with Jiraiya was the biggest gain. Just based on that A-level fire escape ninjutsu, it was worth the trip for Mizuki. After many days of hard work, it was finally not in vain.

As for the two ninjas from the Hidden Mist Village who came with them and the subsequent arrangements, this has little to do with Mizuki and Kakashi. These are all things that need to be arranged by Tsunade.

As the vice-captain, Mizuki had nothing to do when he returned to the village. The mission report and summary were directly handed over to Kakashi Hatake. The lazy Mizuki said hello to Kakashi and went home.

It is said that a short separation is better than a new marriage. In fact, Mizuki's situation is a little different. He has been married to Tsubaki for only a few days, so it should be a combination of a short separation and a new marriage. The biggest difference from the state of mind when he returned to the village after completing a mission is that there is someone waiting for him at home. That kind of silent sense of responsibility sometimes makes Mizuki feel that he has become timid. With his current attitude, Mizuki can't guarantee that he can still hold the Fuma Shuriken and fight against Deidara and the Red Sand Scorpion.

Unfortunately, when Shuimu returned home, he was disappointed because Xiaochun was not at home at that time.

After not coming back for several days, the house has changed a lot. The difference between living alone and living with two people is obvious. The biggest difference is that all the bottles and jars that Shuimu used for experiments are gone. The conspicuous large water tank in the main room no longer has those strange aquatic creatures, and there are only some beautiful ornamental fish swimming around. The experimental materials that originally occupied a large amount of space have also been almost swept away, replaced by various simple furniture and furnishings. Even the unsightly experimental plant samples on the windowsill have been replaced with some beautiful flower pots. From the feeling, the room used to be like a little-known Frankenstein laboratory, but now it has become an ordinary residential house. I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but Shuimu feels that the light in the house is much brighter than before.

"This feels like home, right? But why are some of my fashion magazines gone? And the pocket money in the drawer next to the bed is gone too!"

Suddenly, Shuimu had a bad feeling!

…

In the Hokage Building, Tsunade supported her temple with her right hand and slowly flipped through the report submitted by Hatake Kakashi with her left hand.

"Hmm? You speak highly of the Hidden Mist Village and the Fifth Mizukage. It's written in such a detailed style. Was it written by Mizuki?"

"Yes." Kakashi, who was waiting on the side, replied, "Master Jiraiya and I have similar judgments!"

"Very good. Then take a look at the adjectives you wrote: beautiful, open-minded, young and promising, virtuous and talented, and highly regarded. What are these? Are you sure you are not dazzled by the new Mizukage?"

As she said this, Tsunade looked at the embarrassed Hatake Kakashi with dissatisfaction, waiting for his answer.

"Well, I didn't want to write it this way, but Master Jiraiya insisted, so..."

Kakashi replied with a wry smile.

"Jiraiya? That guy again? Forget about that. What did you write below? Nearly thirty years old, had failed blind dates many times, is thoughtful, sensitive and worried about getting married? What does this have to do with your mission? I asked you to investigate the private life and gossip of the Kage of a village? Do you have to write this kind of gossip into the mission report?"

"This is what Shuimu insisted on, and he said it with certainty and it is of great significance..."

"Ah, Mizuki again? This newly married guy is still full of tricks. Look at what it says below? If necessary, I suggest you use the beauty trap?" Tsunade angrily threw the report on the table, "The Konoha ninja is really promising!"

Hatake Kakashi raised his head and said guiltily: "This last sentence was said by Mizuki casually. I thought it might be useful, so I added it..."

"Hey, Kakashi-sensei..." Shizune, who had been standing silently, suddenly asked in a hostile tone, "Do you also think that unmarried women around 30 years old have trouble finding a husband and are easily tricked by handsome men?"

"How could that be?" Kakashi asked hastily.

"Mizuki, who refused to come along, had expected this to happen? He really did me a disservice!"
