Shuimu woke up amidst the crisp bird calls. After simply tidying up, Shuimu walked out of the tent and found that it was still early. A white light was just emerging in the east, radiating the morning glow.

Mizuki's actions immediately alarmed Kabuto Yakushi who was not far away.

"Are you awake?" Yakushi Kabuto was the first to greet Mizuki.

"Well, you woke up earlier than me?" Mizuki yawned, stretched his arms, and said to Yakushi Kabuto.

"It's not that I woke up early, it's that I didn't sleep all night last night..."

"You didn't fall asleep? It didn't rain last night, and the weather wasn't too cold. It shouldn't affect your rest, right?"

Shuimu took out the dry food he had prepared and started eating breakfast.

"There's plenty of time to sleep. If I don't come up with a solution, I'm going to die."

"Oh? So you figured out a solution?"

After thinking about it all night, Shuimu was very curious.

"Of course!" Yakushi Kabuto's tone revealed an inexplicable confidence. "Since you didn't kill me when I didn't resist, and you didn't intend to hand me over to Konoha directly, I guess you're not a pedantic person. Is there something on me that you're dying for?"

"After thinking all night, this is the result?" Shuimu said disappointedly, "It seems that I overestimated you."

"How could it be like this?" Yakushi Kabuto defended, "I thought about yesterday's battle for a long time, but there is one thing I haven't figured out clearly, which is that you are indeed much stronger than me, but you don't even want to talk to me. I find this very strange..."

Glancing at Shuimu's expression, Yakushi Kabuto continued, "You have an absolute advantage, but you can't wait to knock me down, and you don't even have a normal communication. This is not in line with common sense. I originally thought it was because you were afraid that the Four Purple Flame Formation supported by the four shadow clones would last too short a time, and after delaying the time, the barrier would collapse and let me escape. But it is obviously not the case. Even without the Four Purple Flame Formation, I would not be able to escape in front of the amazing perception and speed of the Sage Mode."

"Then why did I do this? Do you know the reason?"

"That's right." Yao Shidou answered affirmatively, "I originally guessed that setting up the Four Purple Flame Formation was a redundant backup plan of yours, but later, I thought of another possibility, which is that your Sage Mode may have great hidden dangers, so you have to treat it with caution. The purpose of setting up the Four Purple Flame Formation is to prevent it from becoming a protracted war or a chase war. You must defeat the enemy in a small space as soon as possible. Although I haven't seen the weakness of your Sage Mode, it is obvious that you are avoiding using the Sage Mode for a long time because you can't afford to delay!"

Although he didn't guess the details, but he could guess to this extent, Shuimu had to admire that Yakushi Kabuto's brain was indeed very smart. However, Shuimu did not respond to Yakushi Kabuto's doubts, but just watched Yakushi Kabuto's performance with interest while eating.

"What? My guess was wrong?" Seeing that Mizuki was not at all nervous or surprised about the guess that was guessed, Yakushi Kabuto couldn't help but feel nervous, and he even had a little doubt about his own speculation that he had originally believed in.

"Does it matter if it's right or not?" After swallowing the last bite of breakfast, Shuimu smacked his lips and said indifferently, "After talking for so long, you still haven't told me what you are going to use to buy your life."

Shuimu pretended to understand something and said, "Do you want to show off your intelligence and reasoning ability to convince me, and then let me let you go just by talking?"

Shuimu stepped forward and patted the pharmacist Dou, who looked like a mummy. "We are all adults now. Why don't you give me some practical advice first so that I can stop wanting to kill you? You are making it very difficult for me by talking nonsense like this..."

"Huh?" Mizuki, who did not play by the rules, immediately made Yakushi Kabuto feel a little difficult.

"Since you've said so much, let me say a few words too..."

Shuimu looked at the sky and saw that the sun was about to rise.

"I feel like you look down on me a little bit? You didn't take me seriously from the beginning? Although you take my words seriously, you never thought that you would die here, right?"

Slowly, Shuimu put on an indifferent smile and stared at the blood-scab-covered face of Yakushi Kabuto, "You said you were afraid of being killed by me, but from beginning to end, I didn't hear a trace of fear in your tone! Two corpse puppets as a gift? That's your vanity at work. You don't believe that my reputation is enough to crush you. You come to see me with precious ninjutsu information, but you make two puppets to show your resourcefulness?"

It was not until now that Mizuki noticed a hint of panic in Kabuto Yakushi's eyes.

"I hate using unnecessary force to show my strength, especially when dealing with prisoners who have no power to fight back. Only people with a guilty conscience would abuse prisoners to express their views. But if necessary, I will not hesitate to use violence!"

Mizuki grabbed Kabuto Yakushi's arm with his left hand and lifted him up. He opened the five fingers of his right hand, silently circulated chakra, and then slapped Kabuto Yakushi's abdomen heavily. Then, Kabuto Yakushi began to scream violently.

"Painful? I hope that proper stimulation can make you face the reality. You are not qualified to negotiate with me on an equal footing. I am the one in a dominant position now. What you need to do is to come up with enough bargaining chips for me to let you go, instead of trying to guess my weaknesses to increase your unnecessary confidence! You don't need to figure out what I need, just tell me what you can come up with and let me judge whether it is satisfactory. Do you understand?"

Pharmacist Dou nodded hurriedly.

"very good."

Pharmacist Dou, who was put down by Shuimu, sat limply on the ground, gasping for breath.

Sometimes, smart people are always conceited about their own talents, and always want to save effort to gain extra benefits, but they often overlook that to be reasonable, one must have the strength to make the other party listen to them. Without equal status, the stronger party can completely ignore the need to reason with them and directly use his fists to get what he wants.

"You can start talking again!"

"Curse Sealing Technique and Flying Thunder God Technique in exchange for my life..." said Kabuto Yakushi in a hoarse voice while gasping for breath.

Shuimu waved his hand to interrupt Yakushi Kabuto's words: "I have already obtained the Flying Thunder God Technique. You cannot use my spoils as bargaining chips. The Curse Sealing Technique can be used, but it is not enough... You don't have to look at me so unwillingly. If you lose the battle, you have to pay the price. The spoils on the battlefield will naturally belong to the victor..."
