Chapter 338: Shortage



"High-level mission?" Shuimu shook his head and said, "I've been a bit busy lately!"

Mizuki also wanted to take the opportunity to go out for a walk, but there was always someone watching over the Death Forest, so he couldn't get away for a while. If he used a clone to travel, he was afraid that he would be plotted against by Kabuto Yakushi. There was too much information contained in Mizuki's body. Even if he didn't bring anything, the information contained in a body was enough to make people envious. The sealing techniques all over his body could be studied thoroughly, and Kabuto Yakushi wouldn't have to trade ninjutsu with Mizuki.

"Tsk, they seem to be very busy lately, my sister and mother are also busy, and they don't even have time to train together."

Aburame Shino beside him interjected, "It's almost the end of the year, the Chunin Exams aren't far away, right?"

"The Chunin Exam? I see." Inuzuka Kiba suddenly realized, "Hey, it's our Konoha hosting it again this time? It looks like we can fight with many masters again. It's a pity that Naruto doesn't seem to be here and can't participate."

"Just guess it, don't spread it around. After all, it hasn't been officially announced yet." Shuimu said helplessly, "I will recommend you to participate, but don't expect me to open a back door for you!"

"Open the back door? Is Mr. Mizuki the examiner who will be invigilating the exam?"

"No." Shui Mu denied, "The examiner probably wouldn't ask me for such troublesome matters, otherwise no one might be able to pass this year."

With Mizuki's knowledge, it was too easy for him to come up with a bunch of troublesome problems to put the genin in a dilemma. The improvement of his vision also meant that if Mizuki were to be the examiner, the standards would definitely be set extremely high, which would not be in line with the purpose of the chunin selection.

"What a shame! I thought I could get some inside information from Mizuki-sensei!"

Mizuki patted Inuzuka Kiba's shoulder and said, "Practicing well is more reliable than anything else! The Chunin Exam will give you enough fights, so don't regret being too weak when the time comes!"

In the Hokage's office, Mizuki stood across from Tsunade somewhat bored, waiting for further instructions.

Sometimes, Mizuki felt that he did have the potential to be a lackey. In just this period of time, he had done one thing after another to inform on others, and he had become quite skilled at using Tsunade's name to bully others. But after so many times, he really felt a little uncomfortable.

"Danzo has other plans, but you can't find out what his subordinates are planning?"

Tsunade was not worried that Shimura Danzo would harm the village. However, the Hokage would still be responsible for the troubles caused by his own actions and misconduct.

"Can't you be honest at this important moment?"

Tsunade looked at the latest progress of the mission and the "private goods" smuggled in with a headache.

Mizuki echoed, "I'm not worried about Elder Danzo's conspiracy. I designed the barrier of the Death Forest, and it's not easy to do something unnoticed! I'm just afraid that during the Chunin Exam, I'll do something bad to the Genin from other villages. It would be bad if I make the Iwagakure and Kumogakure unhappy. Although I'm not afraid, it's better not to cause unnecessary trouble if it can be avoided."

"You keep a close eye on this matter. If there's any trouble that you can't notify me of in time, you can handle it on the spot. I'll talk to Danzo."

"I understand." With this promise, it's enough. With the right to attack the "root" ninja, it won't be too passive. If it really doesn't work, you can use chicken feathers as a token of authority and take the initiative.

Tsunade flipped through Mizuki's report, carefully weighing the pros and cons: "The most important thing now is the arrangement of the examination room. According to you, there are not too many problems?"

Mizuki nodded in confirmation and replied, "It's not like we really have to go against the will of heaven. We just need to meet the requirements of being an examination venue during the days of the Chunin Exams."

Not only that, it is possible to control the difficulty, it just depends on whether you are willing to do so.

"That's good, let's do it this way. Once the New Year's Day is over, we can start recruiting Genin from the village to sign up."

It would be great if the Chunin Exam could go on as usual. If it was postponed due to some unexpected events, it wouldn't be a big deal, but it would be embarrassing. It was supposed to be a grand event to show one's strength, but it would only make people laugh if it was postponed due to some trivial matters.

"By the way, there is a candidate that you need to pay extra attention to." Tsunade suddenly remembered something, "The Genin added to Team 7 - Yamanaka Fuu."

"knew."

Mizuki nodded as a matter of course. That's right, this Yamanaka Fuu is the same as the Aburame Tone who I met some time ago. In the near future, he will become the right-hand man of Shimura Danzo. He is two to three years older than the Twelve Ninjas of Konoha, which is very suitable. He has outstanding combat ability and a very powerful set of secret techniques. He is also a rare perceptual ninja, which is just right for Danzo to monitor Uchiha Sasuke. The family-inherited secret techniques of the mind can also be used as a killer to assassinate key figures at critical moments, and the target figures of the mission may include the nominal teammate - Uchiha Sasuke.

Mizuki originally thought that it would be Sai's teammate, until he heard the name of this new teammate from Sakura, and then he realized that Sai and his brother Shin were probably still undergoing isolation training at this time, and it was still a long time before Shin died of illness and Sai lost his emotions and became a tool of Danzo. This kind of semi-finished product would obviously not be sent out to play such a key role.

"But why didn't Lady Tsunade reject this guy who obviously had bad intentions? It shouldn't be difficult to find a suitable candidate, right?"

"I cannot refute Danzo's opinion, and the other elders also support Danzo's approach."

"Understood."

In the end, they still don't trust Uchiha Sasuke. It's impossible to force Uchiha Itachi to exterminate his entire clan and then not be wary of Sasuke. Tsunade may not know it very clearly, but the three elders will definitely not let Sasuke out of supervision.

With Shan Zhongfeng in the open and "Root" ninjas in the dark, they are surveying the terrain and gathering intelligence. It seems that Sasuke staying in Konoha Village is not much safer than staying with Orochimaru.

As for the other Genin team that was short of people, the person added by Team 10's Akimichi Choji and Yamanaka Ino's team turned out to be Shiho, a female ninja from the Code Club who had met Mizuki several times. She was a code-reading talent with an outstanding IQ and average ability.

After knowing this person, Mizuki also roughly understood Sarutobi Asuma's plan. Arrange a ninja similar to Nara Shikamaru to maximize the combat power of Team 10. However, with their strength, it is basically impossible to pass this Chunin exam. It is estimated that they just use this Chunin exam as an opportunity for training.
