The name dispute finally came to an end, but...

"Shuimu, why do you only want a girl's name? What if it's a boy's?"

Xiaochun then asked.

As for this question, Mizuki answered casually: "For boys, you don't need to be so troublesome. Just Taro, Jiro, Saburo, and so on!"

Such a perfunctory attitude immediately made Xiaochun feel that he shouldn't have asked Shuimu that question!

…

The next day, Shuimu and Xiaochun took a leave and went to the hospital for another check-up. Everything was normal. The test results showed that it was most likely a girl.

Is it necessary to do an extra thing? With Mizuki's level of perception, if he pays a little attention, he can know it better than them. But, this is also a part of etiquette, telling others that we are going to be parents, so if we are lazy occasionally, it is understandable, right? Tsunade was too embarrassed to cause trouble.

However, the outcome of the matter did not seem to be what Shuimu had expected. The information was transmitted very slowly. Two or three days passed, and no one talked about this matter with Shuimu. It was really strange.

"Could it be that I, the winner in life, am being isolated?"

From Tsunade and Shizune to Yamashiro Aoba and Iruka, up to now, except for Sarutobi Asuma and Yuhi Kurenai who are in a hot relationship, and Gekko Hayate and Uzuki Yugao who are considered a couple, the others don't even have a partner, while Mizuki is now married and has children. The gap is huge.

None of the people who wanted to show off their superiority came, and Shuimu felt bored. However, taking the opportunity to investigate the condition of the barrier on the spot, Shuimu, who was strolling on the street, unexpectedly saw Yueguang Jifeng in a wheelchair.

"Shuimu..." A weak voice sounded, and Moonlight Gale raised his right hand with difficulty, as if he wanted to say hello to Shuimu.

Shuimu quickly stepped forward and shook the hand that Yueguang Gale extended.

"You look healthy. Now you can go out and bask in the sun!"

Moonlight Gale still looked bad, and his figure was very thin, with many muscles atrophied due to disuse. Due to his severe physical deficiency, Moonlight Gale's physical strength was very poor, and it was basically impossible for him to recover in the short term through eating a lot and exercising. He could only slowly take care of himself through persistent restorative training. Although he was not able to stand up for the time being, his eyes looked quite energetic. It was good to be able to take advantage of the good weather to go out and get some fresh air. When the weather turned colder, Moonlight Gale's current physical condition would not be suitable for him to go out.

"Thank you very much. I feel much better recently."

Although he could no longer fight as a ninja for the village, given his injuries at the time, being able to survive was already a good result.

Uzuki Yugao, who was pushing the wheelchair from behind, said politely, "I heard from Xiaochun! Congratulations, you're going to be a father."

"Congratulations, Mizuki."

Moonlight Gale held Mizuki's hand tightly.

"Thanks!"

Shuimu said sincerely, finally someone came to congratulate, otherwise, it would not have felt real!

"If I hadn't heard from Xiaochun, I wouldn't have known this news!"

"Really?" Mizuki smiled awkwardly. It seems that he has a strong sense of self-existence. Ninjas really don't like to pry into their companions' privacy. It is estimated that except for Tsunade and Danzo who will pay special attention, ordinary people will not know it soon.

"What are you planning to do in the future?" Shuimu asked Moonlight Gale.

"I can only retire now! Do something else related to ninja! When you have time, guide the younger generation in your family who are interested in becoming ninjas!"

Shuimu nodded. It was the only way. There were ways to replenish vitality, such as transplanting White Zetsu cells. But it was too dangerous. The threat of death was not enough to describe its horror. Moreover, the moral risk was also serious.

If you use common biological and medical methods to identify White Zetsu cells, you will be surprised to find that the structure of White Zetsu cells is not much different from that of ordinary plant cells. At a glance, it is simply a group of moving plants. If you explore deeper, you will find that its genetic material is very similar to that of the first Hokage, Senju Hashirama.

If this scandal involving the first generation of cells were to be exposed in Konoha, it would be too dangerous and Mizuki would have no place to stand in Konoha.

…

After exchanging a few words with Gekkou Jifeng and Uzuki Yugao, Shuimu continued to perform his duties as the advisor of the barrier class, and unknowingly walked to the village entrance. Not far away, it was Gang Zitie and Shen Yue Izumo who were checking the entry and exit credentials of the pedestrians coming and going.

"Why are you two always guarding the door?"

For a while, these two guys were not seen entering or leaving Konoha, as if they had gone to work as porters for Tsunade. However, as Shizune gradually became familiar with the job, these two guys, apart from combat missions, were responsible for various daily affairs as "gate gods".

"We also wanted to ask Lady Tsunade for a change, but we have no choice but to use our strength in addition to fighting."

"After all, he is a ninja..."

Shuimu didn't mean to laugh at him. Most ninjas are good at fighting but not good at chores. Most non-frontline ninjas are like Xiaochun, who don't like to show up in public! Recently, Shuimu met a new female ninja in the code class. Apart from the necessary work, her biggest label is that she doesn't care about her appearance. The degree of her glasses is so high that you can see circles of lines.

When Mizuki saw the little girl named Shiho, he thought for a moment that she was a "wasted otaku girl" who had traveled through time. She looked so much like the dried shrimp girls who were obsessed with various subcultures.

"I understand. Shuimu, come to think of it, what are you doing here? I heard that you were checking the barrier of the village. Are you going to leave the village?"

"No, just take a look here."

"Then feel free to do as you please. Just let me know if you need anything!"

"Got it. Thank you."

Without interrupting the two's work, Shuimu flashed and appeared on a nearby observation tower. Then he let go of his senses and closely examined the details of the barrier outside.

"The technique hasn't changed much from before?"

Shuimu frowned! It was not a big deal to come here and take a look. At the beginning, Shuimu only wanted to make it as difficult as possible to crack the barrier, and did not try to change the rule runes that allowed entry and exit. This also made violent intrusion more difficult, but those who knew the key to enter and exit were still not restricted.

Since the paper documents may not be detailed enough, I came here to investigate. Unexpectedly, the village has no intention of blocking special groups from entering and exiting. That is to say, Orochimaru, Uchiha Itachi and even Uchiha Obito can still sneak in if they want and will not be discovered for a while.

"Should we plug this loophole? It seems to involve a lot of things!"

The complicated interests and relationships in the village made it difficult to distinguish between the enemy and the friend. Orochimaru, Uchiha Obito and others would definitely try to stop them. Uchiha Itachi was a bit troublesome. The permission for this person to enter and leave the village was one of the terms of the deal between him and the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen. He could come back occasionally to check on Sasuke's condition.

However, whether or not this should be carried out after the death of the Third Generation was not something Mizuki could decide. Moreover, Danzo Shimura’s own interests might also be involved.

"Let Tsunade decide..."
