"What exactly is this potion? Is it very dangerous?" Xiao Chun really felt that this thing was too dangerous.

"Of course it is dangerous. For ordinary people, it is a deadly poison. But for ninjas, as long as they don't use it excessively, it is actually not very dangerous. If you don't abuse it, it is still relatively safe."

After Mizuki's repeated persuasion, Xiaochun finally decided to help.

"That's great, Xiaochun, thank you." Shuimu was also very happy. With a reliable helper, everything was much easier.

"Well, Mizuki, will the village be unhappy with you doing these experiments?"

"I'm definitely unhappy. After all, the laboratory is not a harmonious and friendly place. There will always be some blood and discomfort. That's why I do these things in an underground base where few people go. As long as the village doesn't see it, it's fine." Mizuki explained, "Anyway, it's not something that harms the world. I developed it myself, so it's okay. But it's better to do it privately." The profession of ninja is far more exposed to the dark side than imagined. Mizuki didn't hurt innocent people, nor did he do any cruel human experiments. It might be much more civilized than what Danzo did in the village.

Next, Shuimu carefully explained some things that needed to be paid attention to and things that required Xiaochun's help, then rearranged the underground base and set up some traps and illusion barriers to cover the entrance, and the two left.

After returning to the cabin on the back mountain, the two stayed for a while, packed their things, and prepared to return to the village.

Along the way, Xiaochun hesitated to speak several times, and Shuimu couldn't help but ask: "Is there anything you want to say? We'll be home soon."

"Where did those strange creatures come from? What on earth are they?"

"Haha, you still can't help asking." Mizuki smiled, "Only one was cultivated from my hair, and the others were all from the blood of other ninjas during the mission, which I collected and made." Mizuki told Xiaochun everything without any intention of hiding anything.

"But are they all alive? Isn't it inappropriate for us to do this?"

"Those were just pools of blood, how could they be alive? The original owner is alive and well. I just reused something that others didn't want."

"Yeah, it's best if nothing happens."

"Although I'm trying to comfort Xiaochun, only you know the truth." Shuimu couldn't help but feel helpless.

That's right, those things are not alive or not, they are just a bunch of active meat. They have no thoughts, no spirit, no soul, and no self-awareness. They can't even be considered as complete lives. They will die immediately without the medicine and culture medium. However, these things can't always be like this, especially the clones of my hair cells that were cultured at the beginning. They will soon be almost complete, with all the organs and tissues. Then they will grow a complete brain, think, learn, and grow. They can't stay in the nutrient solution forever. At that time, can I still treat them as used and discarded tools? Playing with intelligent life is definitely not something I can accept.

These are no longer issues for ninjas. People need a bottom line. Once the bottom line is broken, there will be no more bottom line. In this world that is not peaceful, those who can stick to their principles in war and killing are people with extremely strong minds. Only in this way can they maintain their self and not fall into the abyss of depravity.

The importance of sticking to oneself and not forgetting one's original intention is self-evident. The real world affects everyone all the time. The environment, interpersonal relationships, morals, laws, outlook on life, worldview, etc. constitute the boundaries of each person's personality, which is both a constraint and a protection. When a person breaks through this layer of constraint, he loses his direction. A will without any constraints can no longer get rid of the temptation from infinite freedom, and can only lose its original personality step by step and go to destruction. Just like Uchiha Itachi, his love for his younger brother has always maintained his last bottom line. But Orochimaru smashed everything to pieces in his infinite desire for knowledge without mercy.

In Shuimu's view, not taking the lives of innocent people is a very important bottom line. First, one must confirm that it is a human life, and then measure whether it is innocent based on one's own moral values.

At present, according to his own understanding, those pieces of meat are undoubtedly not complete creatures, and there is no question of whether they are human beings. But when they meet his definition of human beings one day, can he still use and squander their lives without scruples? Even if he is their creator, in his opinion, this is an unforgivable sin.

Therefore, even though he could now solemnly swear to comfort Xiaochun, he still had to think carefully about the usage and future disposal of these experimental subjects.

"Xiao Chun, you can also try this green potion in the garden. It can be used for breeding, layering, grafting, etc. It should be able to improve the efficiency and yield of the nursery. You can also use this silver potion in combination to see the effect. Just follow the classification and comparison method I taught you and record the data and results. Show them to me again after a while."

"Okay." Xiao Chun took the potion happily. "With this stuff, I can plant more flowers and sell them for money. Maybe I can breed a new variety that's popular." Xiao Chun is quite passionate about the things he likes.

"Just be careful and don't lose them. These things are not only precious but also dangerous. It will be troublesome if they are obtained by some people with bad intentions."

"Got it. I'll keep it well." Xiao Chun said solemnly.

"Hey, isn't this Shuimu?" A lazy voice suddenly came from behind the two people who were talking, "It seems that you are fine now. You are really lucky. You didn't die even with that ghost look."

"Kakashi?" Mizuki was also surprised. What a coincidence?

"Teacher Mizuki, you look so pale. Did you do something bad again and get beaten?" The one who asked loudly was none other than Uzumaki Naruto.

Sakura Haruno on the side greeted politely, but the arrogant Sasuke just nodded.

"Sakura, you are such a polite and good girl. Sasuke seems to have made great progress as well." Mizuki smiled and replied, "I heard that you completed a very difficult mission. That's amazing, Kakashi."

"Don't ignore me, I'm also very powerful. I defeated a super powerful enemy."

"Hey, Naruto-kun, you're here too." Mizuki said apologetically, "I'm so sorry, you're too short, I didn't see you just now."

"You bastard, you definitely did it on purpose. I'll teach you a lesson." Naruto said as he was about to attack.

"Stop, Naruto." Kakashi hurriedly stopped him, "Mitsuki-sensei was just seriously injured in a mission, he can't do it."

"Really?" Uzumaki Naruto said in disbelief, "Him? Would a bad guy like that be so kind as to get injured during a mission?"

"The current Genin education is a real failure. They have no respect for the seniors who have made great contributions to Konoha. It seems that the Third-Kai is going to have a headache. He should think carefully about the moral training of the newly graduated ninjas. I believe that these are all very necessary. They should go back to the ninja school for further education."

"Go back to the ninja school?" Naruto was shocked. "No way? The Third Hokage wouldn't be so heartless."

Ignoring Naruto no longer, Mizuki said to Kakashi as they walked away, "Why did you come back so late? If there had been no interference, it should have been completed long ago."

"I wasted some time dealing with other things in Wave Country. Besides, this is a good opportunity. The training opportunities left for Genin after the war are also good."

"So being a team leader is really a headache, especially for a group of troubled teenagers."

"It's alright." Kakashi didn't care, "It looks like you've recovered well. Hayate and Aoba are also fine, right?"

"Well, they've been fine for a long time. They're all very busy and don't have time to hang around like me."

"Busy? Yeah, it's already this late."

"You came back just in time. We don't have much time to prepare." Shuimu gestured back, "Do you want to join?"

The three Genins were confused, but Kakashi understood.

"Well, it's better to give it a try. Maybe there will be a surprise."

As they were talking, everyone had unconsciously walked into the village.

"Then I'll be leaving first. Bye." Kakashi and others were busy handing in their tasks.

"Okay, goodbye." I had just recovered from a serious illness and was very tired after being busy all day. It would be better to go back and rest early.

"Mizuki, who is that jonin?" Xiaochun did not recognize Hatake Kakashi.

"Kakashi Hatake, the jonin of Konoha, is a very powerful and famous ninja." Mizuki didn't elaborate, "With his strength, he may become the Hokage in the future."

"So powerful?" Xiaochun couldn't help but smack her lips, "I didn't expect that this plain-looking, gloomy guy is such a powerful ninja."

Ugly? Mizuki couldn't help but sigh. The mask couldn't be blamed for Kakashi's bad temperament. He had such a handsome face in vain.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go back early. You don't need to take a leave tomorrow. I don't need you to take care of me all the time."

Xiaochun agreed, "Okay, then you be careful."

After returning to Shuimu's home, they had some extra time, so they cooked a big meal together as a reward for a busy day.

After having a full meal, Shuimu accompanied Xiaochun to clean up the dishes.

"Xiaochun, although I've given you everything, let me ask you something." Shuimu suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but ask his fiancée, "Has the clerk in the flower shop decided who to ask for help?"

"Eh?" Xiao Chun seemed to have no recollection of this happening and had an innocent expression on his face.

"Alas, it seems that I overestimated you." Is the capable strong woman just a flash in the pan? Behind the weak girl, there is actually a confused girl attribute hidden.
