Shuimu no longer paid attention to this businessman who was as cowardly as a mouse in the face of power, and turned to look at the leader with a proud face.

"Sorry, we have completed our mission and are about to return to the village. We have important matters to attend to, so we will not stay any longer!"

Mizuki said as he gave instructions to the three Genin.

"Let's go!"

Mizuki stepped forward, pushed aside the crowd that was blocking his way and walked out, followed by three anxious Genins.

The leading warrior had a look of anger on his face, and wanted to stop Mizuki. He opened his mouth, but in the end he did not issue an order to intercept, and let Mizuki go away.

After the four of them walked out of the town gate, Inuzuka Kiba breathed a sigh of relief: "I was so nervous just now, I thought there would be a fight."

Shuimu smiled and said, "Just follow me, I won't let you suffer any loss."

As a Konoha jonin who obeys the Hokage, a lowly minor official who wants to rely on the power of the daimyo to make arbitrary appointments is overestimating his own power. The status of ninjas is very low in the eyes of local officials, and they should be controlled by the power of the daimyo. However, in reality, the power division between the ninja village leader and the daimyo has never been so clear. If the daimyo is in person, Mizuki may give face, and it is basically impossible for others to command Mizuki.

"But, Mr. Mizuki, won't there be trouble if we just leave like this?"

Hyuga Hinata asked with a worried look on her face. Being in the Hyuga family, she understood the power that comes with power. Mizuki offended the local officials without hesitation, and there might be unexpected troubles.

"You worry too much." Mizuki shook his head and replied, "The Hidden Leaf Village, led by the Hokage, is controlled by the Daimyo of the Land of Fire. In name, the Daimyo is the highest power symbol of this country, but it does not mean that we have to obey the orders of the Daimyo's subordinates."

"Is there any difference?" Inuzuka Kiba asked in confusion.

"Of course they are different. A daimyo and his subordinates are not the same thing. You will be promoted to chunin in a year or two, so you should pay more attention to things other than fighting. When you go out in the future, don't deal with government officials unless necessary."

Without waiting for the confused Genin to ask questions, Mizuki continued to explain: "The communication between the ninja village and secular power only exists between the Hokage and the Daimyo. In other words, we only obey the Hokage. Even if the Daimyo wants to order us, it must be conveyed to us through the Hokage. Do you understand?"

Although they didn't quite understand, the three Genin from Team 8 nodded.

"So now you understand, if you want to borrow our power, you can, please go to the village to post the task, and then the Hokage will naturally assign the corresponding ninja to complete the task, and then collect the deserved remuneration."

After all, the main source of income for non-productive ninjas is mission fees. There are kind-hearted ninjas who are willing to help for free, but it is wishful thinking to force ninjas to do things by official orders.

Why does an organization like the Daimyo Guardian Ninja exist? The relationship between ninjas and daimyo is far from being as simple and harmonious as the superior-subordinate relationship that the outside world imagines.

Three days later, Team 8 completed their mission and returned to the village and was disbanded on the spot, while Mizuki waited for Tsunade's reply in the Hokage's office building.

Tsunade frowned as she looked at Mizuki's mission report and said unhappily, "In that remote little place, there are bureaucrats who don't understand the situation and want to test Konoha's bottom line? The village has been hit by many unexpected events, and all kinds of monsters and demons have come out to stir up trouble?"

"That's just a small matter, Lady Tsunade. The most urgent task is to thoroughly investigate these small villages and towns that are in bad condition. There are always some dangerous seeds taking root and sprouting in the border areas where none of the forces can control. It is necessary to prepare for a rainy day."

"According to your intelligence, it will take at least a Chunin team to wipe out these forces. How can we have the manpower to go so far to wipe out these scattered evils? Unless the Daimyo issues a formal assistance mission, we can't do anything. For the time being, we can only ask the ninjas involved in such local missions to be more careful."

"That's all that can be done."

Tsunade slowly flipped through the report in her hand and looked at it slowly: "The mission went smoothly, but your evaluation of the three Genin didn't seem very good. Is it too demanding?"

"Maybe they are a little impatient, but I believe they can overcome the difficulties. I still have great confidence in these three students."

"Hmm." Tsunade responded casually and said, "According to your judgment, Hyuga Hinata is still in the accumulation period of accumulating strength for a breakthrough? That's fine, Gentle Fist has always been a physical skill that requires talent and hard work. Inuzuka Kiba is quite normal, and it takes time and experience to hone his character. Why is Aburame Shino rated so low? His potential is very high. I remember that Aburame Shino was the only Genin in Team 8 who entered the third round of the Chunin Exam, right?"

"Aburame Shino's problem is actually very serious. His physical fitness is not bad, but he relies too much on insect manipulation and ignores the basic training of ninjas. This is precisely the point that cannot be cheated. In terms of overall strength, Aburame Shino's strength is also outstanding among the Genin, but facing Rock Lee, he may not last more than three seconds."

"Weak physical skills and serious lack of close combat ability?" Tsunade nodded. The report was written in great detail. "Is it possible to make up for it in the short term? In this Chunin Exam, Aburame Shino may be the only Genin in Team 8 who has a chance of being promoted."

"Let the three Genin handle it internally for now! Yuhi Kurenai Jonin did a great job and trained a united team, so I don't have to worry about team spirit like Kakashi did."

If it really doesn't work, Shuimu will have to spend more time to provide personal practical guidance.

"That's it." Tsunade put away the report, "This is the first time the village has appeared in the Chunin Exam since the great changes it has encountered. We must let other villages see Konoha's potential."

As Tsunade spoke, she opened the drawer on her right, took out a document and handed it to Mizuki.

"This is part of the inspection report for the universal potion you submitted. Judging from the results recorded here, it seems that it is far more than just a healing potion, right?"

After hearing what Tsunade said, Mizuki knew that the true effect of the omnipotent potion might have been exposed.

"No wonder Moonlight Gale's illness turned out like that. This potion directly consumes the vitality of cells. The all-purpose potion is just as its name suggests. You really created something amazing!"

"Have you been discovered?"

Although it has been known that it would be difficult to hide it from Tsunade, however, with the production method in hand, Mizuki has the initiative. It all depends on how Tsunade deals with this potion whose side effects are no weaker than the efficacy of the medicine.
