At present, Mizuki can only indirectly control Sasuke's training intensity through Sakura. Fortunately, the current situation is still under control. Even if Sasuke wants to do something, he must be restricted by the fact that there is only one scroll that seals the concentration technique. Sakura is willing to help because it is a favor. With Sasuke's pride, it is extremely rare for him to accept other people's free favors. He is not likely to snatch Sakura's training opportunity and drag others down for his own selfishness.

In addition, Mizuki didn't know whether Kakashi Hatake chose to prioritize improving basic ninjutsu out of selfish motives, but this was going against Uchiha Itachi's wishes.

"This technique is not good for the growth of the Sharingan. You should know that. Is it okay to do this?"

"Sasuke's two magatama Sharingan are more than enough before he becomes a jonin. It is more stable to exchange the uncontrollable growth of the Sharingan for tangible improvement."

"It's good that you figured it out. But will Sasuke hold a grudge against me in the future?"

Hatake Kakashi replied: "You think too simply. This technique is indeed not good for the growth of the Sharingan, but it is inaccurate to measure the Sharingan related to the spirit with general principles. The evolution of the Sharingan is not immutable. I have the Sharingan, so I know its power better."

Mizuki also understood what Kakashi said. From opening the eyes to one magatama, two magatama, three magatama and finally the Mangekyo, it is ideal to follow the steps. It is not uncommon to evolve by leaps and bounds. There are not just one or two people with strong talents who have two magatama when opening the eyes. It is not impossible to evolve directly from two magatama to the Mangekyo. The progress slowed down by the concentration technique may be made up in an instant because of an accident.

…

When Shuimu returned home, it was already very late. When Shuimu opened the door, he was surprised to find that Xiaochun was still awake.

"Why don't you rest earlier?"

"I can't sleep, read a book!"

Shuimu glanced at the cover of the book in Xiaochun's hand, and then looked at the several books on the desk. They were all novels about heroes saving the world, which Xiaochun had rarely read before.

"Wouldn't it be harder to sleep the more you read this kind of book?"

“Look at other people’s stories and imagine what our children will become in the future!”

"Does this work? Is there a heroine in it?"

"No!" Xiaochun replied, "There are so many amazing female ninjas in the ninja world, but I can't find a single novel with a female ninja as the protagonist. There are only some legends about goddesses circulating."

"So what do you want to do?" In a male-dominated society, heroic novels about female ninjas are different from mainstream values ​​and basically won't be popular, and not many people will write them.

"I want to write some short stories when I have free time and tell them to our children later."

"That's great. As long as our daughter doesn't become a fangirl when she sees a cocky boy, it'll be fine."

"Fangirl?" Xiao Chun couldn't help but laugh. Although the word was unfamiliar, the meaning was understandable.

"With such a cunning father, I will definitely not be deceived in the future."

"Cunning? I call that witty."

…

A month later, Mizuki and Shikamaru were walking in the Forest of Death.

"The barrier has just started to take effect and the temperature has begun to rise, but it is basically impossible to reach the previous state before the Chunin Exams."

Shuimu already knew this result.

Shikamaru said, "It doesn't need to be at the level of the last Chunin Exam, it just needs to meet the requirements to be an exam venue."

"Before it snows, raise the temperature inside. Without going through the torment of a cold winter, if the Chunin Exam is still held here next summer, it will be a nightmare for the candidates."

Winter is a hunting season and many creatures will not survive.

After this human intervention, come summer, there will be a daunting amount of things in there, all sorts of horrific creatures that have managed to survive the ice age, and the environment thus created will make it virtually impossible for Genin to fight in it.

"Let's get through this difficult time first." Nara Shikamaru said, "Should we start releasing the creatures?"

"Wait a little longer until the trees start to sprout."

In a closed environment, without plants to provide the most basic supplies, if it is full of predators, it simply cannot survive. Even if the temperature is suitable, the light conditions in winter are much worse, and the growth of plants is very slow.

"After a week, add some meat to prevent the animals from starving to death."

In the lifeless winter forest, nothing will work. Only when it recovers initially will it slowly digest the artificially placed things and convert them into nutrients.

"Okay, let's do as Mizuki-sensei says. But the Genin's mission has already begun, and the first batch of prey has been prepared. We are just waiting for Mizuki-sensei's order."

"Well, you can prepare in advance."

After explaining the basic situation, Nara Shikamaru said, "Regarding the maintenance of the barrier, someone else will take over in three days. At that time, it will be Mizuki-sensei who will handle the handover."

"knew!"

The day when we officially deal with the "root" ninjas is not far away.

…

Three days later, Mizuki looked at the leader in front of him. The animal mask he wore covered his facial features, and Mizuki had no impression of the name "Terai".

What made Shuimu even more worried was the boy standing behind him, who looked about fifteen years old and wore an Anbu mask. However, the characteristics of his attire made Shuimu take a few more glances. There was almost no bare skin on his body, and the subtle feeling from his perception made Shuimu confirm that this guy was the secret ninja of the Aburame family in the Anbu - Aburame Tone.

"Nano-level poisonous insects, even this kind of thing has appeared, what on earth is Danzo going to do?"

If Mizuki's world-destroying biological weapons were still just fantasies, then Aburame's nano-scale poisonous insects were already a living reality. If he used his own medicine to rapidly multiply these poisonous insects, wouldn't it take too many dead bodies to turn the entire Death Forest into a graveyard?

Even without using this kind of large-scale natural disaster-level forbidden technique, even touching others unexpectedly would catch people off guard.

"What? Do you know my companion?" Terai asked without any fluctuation in his tone.

"No, it's just that it's inappropriate for such a young ninja to do this kind of thing. After all, it's a serious matter!"

"Oh? Do you doubt that you are capable of doing the job?" Terai said, "We have our own action plan. If you can't complete the mission, you will be punished. You won't become a burden."

"Action plan? Does that mean that besides maintaining the barrier, you have other tasks?" Shuimu asked in a bad tone.
