After all, ninja is a fighting profession, so theoretical teaching of every detail is not appropriate. Practice is the most important way to improve.

Being able to answer students' questions is the prerequisite for being a good master. Fortunately, although Mizuki's ninjutsu talent and quality are seriously biased, he is at least knowledgeable. Even in areas that he himself does not know, he is not completely ignorant, so guiding the ninja is not a problem.

Haruno Sakura's theoretical knowledge is indeed solid, but what she lacks is careful teaching. When she has accumulated a lot of knowledge, she may be able to walk her own path independently. Now, in addition to teaching knowledge, Mizuki spends the most energy on teaching Sakura the correct way of thinking and properly cultivating logical thinking ability. Independent thinking is the cornerstone of going further and further on the road of ninja.

Although today's classes were relatively easy, Sakura seemed to be a little worried.

"What do you want to ask? It doesn't matter if it's not about ninjutsu. Being a ninja is not enough just to be good at ninjutsu!"

"I'm sorry to trouble you, Master." Sakura asked with an embarrassed look on her face: "I heard that Uzumaki Naruto is going out with Master Jiraiya, is that true?"

Mizuki nodded in confirmation, "Yes, Naruto will be away studying for about three years. You won't be able to see each other for a long time."

"Then what about our Class 7? Should we disband?"

“That’s not so clear.”

Mizuki said, shaking his head.

"There is no loss of personnel in Team 7. It's just that due to special reasons, they cannot gather together to carry out the mission. In this case, it is very likely that a temporary team member will be added."

Kakashi Hatake did a pretty good job as the team leader. What Mizuki admired most was that he was extremely successful in cultivating the comradeship between the three Genin in Team 7. Bonds are not something that can be formed easily. There are many teams with internal strife, especially for Team 7, where the three members originally had incompatible personalities and had not been on good terms in the ninja school. It was quite difficult for them to become a united whole.

"But, won't there be problems coordinating with the new team members? After all, we are not familiar with each other..."

"This is just a possibility. Lady Tsunade is still considering the specific arrangements, but there should be a conclusion soon."

The Chunin Exam is only a few months away, and the newly formed team will indeed need some time to get used to each other and cannot be delayed for too long.

"It's not just Team 7 that has this problem. Team 10 has it too. Sakura, ninjas are, after all, combatants who need to obey orders. Even if Naruto doesn't leave, you can't always be together. There will always be all kinds of unexpected events. So, you should learn to adapt to completing missions with different ninjas."

"I see."

Although she was a little unhappy, Haruno Sakura also knew that Mizuki was telling the truth. Appropriate compromise was essential, and improving one's comprehensive abilities was the best weapon to deal with various changes.

…

Mizuki returned home early, surprising Xiaochun, who had a rare holiday.

"Why are you back so early? Didn't you say you were going to teach your disciples?"

It is extremely rare for a jonin to accept a disciple before the age of 30. Many of them only start to consider this when they have passed their golden age as a ninja and are beginning to decline. When Mizuki told Xiaochun that he had accepted a disciple, he was really shocked.

"I've finished teaching today's lessons, so of course I came back early!"

"Is everything going well?" Xiaochun asked.

Young ninjas always raise doubts when they accept disciples. They are not yet at their peak and have little combat experience. Not many people would really accept a ninja of this age as their master, unless they are strong and famous like Minato Namikaze. As for Mizuki, his strength is barely acceptable, but his reputation is not worth mentioning.

"Smoothly? Of course it went smoothly." Shuimu replied with a smile: "It was too smooth."

Shuimu took the tea from Xiaochun and took a sip. "It's easy to teach a genius disciple, but I have to worry all the time. I never know when he will ask me a question that I can't answer. That would be embarrassing."

"Is there any master as nervous as you?"

Xiaochun teased with a smile.

"There's nothing we can do about it. I finally understand why Master Jiraiya doesn't like disciples who are too smart. The dumb Uzumaki Naruto is more pleasing to him. I'm just afraid that one day my abilities will be drained away and there will be nothing left to teach. That would be a huge disgrace."

"That's not what you said yesterday. Who said something about teaching and learning, or pressure and encouragement? How come you can't hold on after just one day?"

"How could that be? The faster my disciples learn, the better I teach." Shuimu seemed not to hear Xiaochun's teasing and retorted complacently.

"Well, new jonin Mizuki-sensei, I have something to inform you of."

Xiaochun said, putting away her teasing smile.

"What is it?" Shuimu picked up a biscuit from the plate and started eating it.

"The weather has turned colder, and the yield in the flower garden has obviously slowed down. Apart from the varieties that are hardy in autumn and winter, the others can basically not be counted on."

The vegetation coverage rate in the Ninja World is very high, especially in Konoha, where the environment is unique. However, that does not mean that there are no four seasons. Many trees will shed their leaves in autumn, and it will snow in winter.

“So, our family’s income will drop drastically?”

"Yes." Xiaochun nodded.

“Can’t you raise the price?”

"It's difficult. Business is obviously not going to be good during this season when everything is dormant."

If you don't have money, it will be a disaster. There are so many ninjutsu that need to be studied. If the materials can't keep up, it will be bad. And Sakura is practicing medical ninjutsu. Most of the experimental subjects have to be provided by herself. Occasionally, she even needs to give some benefits to the Konoha Hospital led by Tsunade to let Sakura do an internship.

In summary, Mizuki really paid a lot to support such a big situation. After all, he was not a ninja of high status, without the support of the village, and without the backing of the family. It was rare for him to persist until now and still have a lot of surplus. However, it seemed too difficult to rely on savings to support until spring.

"There's nothing we can do about this. Do we have to suspend part of the experiment?"

Shuimu hesitated for a moment and replied, "I will go and see it myself in the near future and make plans."

After all, there are no greenhouses in this world. Even if Shuimu has the ability to build one, it is too late. Delicate flowers are not rough crops. It is really difficult for them to adapt to the new environment of the greenhouse without several generations of cultivation. Moreover, Xiaochun and he do not have much time to deal with such troubles.
