After completing a mission that takes a long time, Konoha will generally give two days off. Although ninjas are not related to the secular world or power in name, they are actually at the top of the world. The status brought by power is always real. Unless it is a particularly urgent situation, Konoha will generally not exploit ninjas too harshly.

The next day, Mizuki, who was refreshed and well fed, watched Xiaochun go out. In Konoha, technical ninjas, such as medical, sealing, barrier, code breaking, etc., are more like office workers in their previous lives, except that their means of making a living are chakra and ninjutsu. There are also many Chunins with weak combat power who actually belong to this category, such as Umino Iruka, a full-time teacher in the ninja school, who are actually assigned very few combat missions.

Now, Mizuki and Chie Tsubaki form a family. According to the analogy of the previous life, his wife, Tsubaki, is a formal white-collar worker, while Mizuki is more like a freelancer who does not open a business for three years and makes a living for three years after opening it. However, with the huge backing of the Ninja Village, he has more choices and is more secure. The tasks of the jonin, especially the high-level tasks, are very well paid after completion. But this is no wonder. The higher the level of the ninja, the greater the expenses. Not everyone can be as lucky as Mizuki, who found a wife who is so financially savvy and can do some side jobs to supplement the family income. Like the pair of chakra blades in Asuma Sarutobi's hands - Hiyan, if he was not a family member and had a father who was a Hokage, how could he afford such high-end goods just because he was rebellious and unrestrained when he was young, and had no taboos on smoking and drinking.

"So, where should we go next?"

The morning weather in late summer and early autumn was quite cool and pleasant. If I were still single, I might just sigh and lie down to take a nap. However, after a hearty breakfast, I was almost sleepy.

Although there was nothing important, it did not mean that there was nothing to do. After thinking about it, Mizuki decided to go see Karin. In fact, this was the first time that Mizuki tried to actively change a person's predetermined destiny. Although the incident of Gekko Gale took effect earlier, this time left a more impressive impression on Mizuki. For this reason, the then weak Mizuki even took the risk to fight Orochimaru.

"Let's go and have a look. It's not good to ignore it. Let's also see what her plans are."

Originally, he thought he had recruited a helper, but now it seems that he can't act rashly, and has become a dispensable chicken rib. Since Karin took the initiative to come to Konoha, Mizuki has given up the idea of ​​making a big fuss about her. Under the watchful eyes of the public, many of the original plans are no longer feasible.

…

As the first business of Mizuki and Kotsubaki, Mizuki has put a lot of effort into this business. Many of the furnishings inside were set up by Mizuki himself. Apart from his own home, this not-so-big shop is the place where he has spent the longest time, even longer than in the hospital. It was here that Mizuki quietly completed his accumulation of knowledge about ninjas, especially the sealing technique, and interacted with different people here. Haruno Sakura and Yamanaka Ino also studied here. Most importantly, there are many memories of Mizuki and Kotsubaki.

Looking at the signboard made by Mizuki himself, it has been several months and no one has discovered the mystery hidden in it. Only Haruno Sakura may have noticed something, but exploring the secret is not something she can do.

Thinking of these past events, Shuimu couldn't help but laugh at his own prank. He casually destroyed the ill-intentioned illusions and barriers inside and walked into the store.

It was still too early and there was no customer in the store. Apart from the scent of flowers, the quiet environment also made people feel a cool breeze.

To Shuimu's surprise, he didn't see the shy little red-haired girl at first glance. After Shuimu came in for a while, no one came up to say hello.

"The door is open, but the person is gone?"

Confused, Mizuki walked to the counter hidden by floral displays and found that Karin, a girl with fiery red hair, was dozing off with her head propped up.

Being a shop assistant is actually quite boring. When there are no customers, she often dozes off unconsciously because she has nothing to do. Shuimu also understands that it is not appropriate for a teenage girl to sit here. However, if she is so lazy so early in the morning, what if a thief steals her things? Thinking of this, Shuimu reached out and opened the drawer where she kept her money in her memory. Seeing that there seemed to be a lot of money scattered inside, Shuimu was relieved immediately. She no longer had to worry about pocket money.

However, Mizuki's movements were a little too big, and they woke up the half-asleep Karin.

"Oh, thief..." Karin screamed, grabbed Mizuki's outstretched hand, and punched Mizuki in the face.

"Don't be nervous, it's me." Mizuki grabbed Karin's fist and said, "Why, are you awake?"

Karin, who was still a little confused, heard a familiar voice. She calmed down and found that it was Mizuki. She was immediately embarrassed.

"Ah, Teacher Mizuki... No, it's the boss. I definitely didn't mean to hit you. I thought you were still a thief. Also, I'm definitely not being lazy. I'm just resting my eyes!" Xianglin said as she quickly wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth.

"I know. Don't be nervous." Shuimu put on a self-proclaimed kind smile and said, "Actually, I just got here too. I came here to take a look around. If you're tired, go and take a rest."

"No, I'm not tired!"

"Oh, really?" Shuimu did not insist. The little girl still felt very insecure. She finally had a stable life and was unwilling to lose it easily.

"Okay then." Since the little girl insisted, Shuimu didn't say much. He stood up and looked around. The surroundings looked clean and tidy, and the furnishings were arranged in an orderly manner without appearing messy. It seemed that he had really put in some effort and was indeed not lazy.

"That big sister named Shizune came to see you a few days ago, right? She asked you to be a medical ninja. What do you think? Do you want to go?"

To Mizuki's surprise, Karin refused directly: "I don't want to go. I don't have any ninja talent. I have always been a drag in the past and I am of no use. I'd better get used to it here."

As she said that, Karin looked at Mizuki with tears in her eyes and asked, "Does that mean Mr. Mizuki is going to drive me away and not care about me anymore?"
