Shuimu's feelings after the injection of super cells were definitely not as obvious as Moonlight Gale's. Shuimu, who was in good physical condition, completed the replacement of body cells almost without noticing. But Moonlight Gale was different, just like a trickle of water suddenly flowing into dry land. Especially after the body had improved and entered the conservative treatment and recovery stage, the changes in the body were more obvious. Of course, being able to notice this was inseparable from Moonlight Gale's excellent psychological quality and mental will.

It feels good to have some time to chat with this old friend who I have been dealing with a lot since the beginning of the time travel. I guess we won’t have so much time to get together in the future. Moonlight Gale, who has withdrawn from the front-line combat sequence, will have fewer and fewer intersections with Mizuki, and there will be fewer opportunities to meet. Just like Umino Iruka, although Mizuki and him are still good friends and there is no sign of hostility, they just meet less and less, and I don’t know if they will have the opportunity to work together in the future.

It didn't take long for Xiaochun to finish what she wanted to do. After bidding farewell to Yueguang Jifeng, the two of them didn't want to stay any longer and prepared to go home. But they didn't expect to run into another familiar person in the hospital.

"Shuimu-senpai, Tsubaki-nee, long time no see."

Karin still had bright red hair and black-framed glasses. As a medical ninja intern, she didn't wear a full set of white medical uniforms, but just a plain woolen coat that was a little too big for her. If it weren't for her well-groomed hair and delicate face, it would be hard to tell she was a girl from a distance.

"Long time no see, eh? Why are you dressed like this?"

Karin spread her arms and looked down at herself.

"Very good, this dress is very warm to wear."

"Okay." It's not that there's anything wrong with that, but it seems that the young Karin's femininity is pitifully low, and she can't compare to Haruno Sakura and Yamanaka Ino of the same age. In the past, Xiaochun would look after her from time to time, but now she's independent and there's no one to take care of this little girl anymore.

Xianglin said uneasily, "Isn't it good? It feels very comfortable to wear. I saved up for a long time to be able to afford it."

I've worn it for so many days and no one has ever said anything wrong with it.

"If you need to buy something in the future, ask Xiaochun or Xiaoying to help."

Although some boyish outfits make her look more heroic, it just doesn't match Karin, who is still a bit weak now.

"Won't it cause trouble?"

"Don't worry." Xiaochun said with a smile, "I have a lot of free time now. Shuimu is always busy. It would be better if I had someone to talk to. Come to my house when you are free."

Xianglin hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and agreed.

It didn't matter if it delayed a little time. Karin had a lot to talk about with Xiaochun. After all, Mizuki used to be a hands-off boss, and Xiaochun had to deal with her more often than Mizuki.

And now it can be clearly felt that Karin is much more cheerful than before. She chatters about her work and her outings with Sakura and others. At least she is much more confident than before.

"By the way, Senior Shuimu, I can now use the sealing technique you mentioned."

Before she finished speaking, Xianglin stretched out her hands, and two rune chains with a metallic luster emerged from her palms. Then she looked at Shuimu as if she was presenting a treasure, waiting for praise.

Shuimu's eyes lit up and he reached out to grab the swirling chain. Then, the chain suddenly wrapped around Shuimu's arm.

"It has a strong binding force, and it also has a strong chakra-limiting function."

Mizuki became interested and immediately released his chakra, trying to break free from the chains. However, the chakra seemed to have met its nemesis and did not seem to have any effect on the diamond blockade.

"Just as I imagined, is this a Yang escape or a Yin escape effect?"

Sealing techniques themselves do not have chakra attributes, but that does not mean that they cannot be integrated with attributes. The Four Purple Flame Formation is a typical example. The characteristics of the fire attribute make it surprisingly effective in terms of lethality. Shuimu, who has a high level of attainment in sealing techniques, will not turn a blind eye to these. There are many examples of the general five attributes, but Shuimu is interested in the rare Yin-Yang attribute sealing technique in front of him.

Although the Diamond Seal was strong, Karin was too weak. Mizuki once again burst out a large amount of chakra. A light blue film instantly appeared on his arms, and then expanded rapidly, forcibly breaking the Diamond Seal in a short while.

Seeing the chains collapse and disappear, Xianglin, who had been full of hope, immediately showed disappointment.

"Well done." Shuimu said with a smile, "But you still need to keep working hard."

Mizuki, unable to find a good way to deal with the situation, simply used absolute strength to break free. His method was not necessarily brilliant, but it was just to prevent Karin from slacking off. Her foundation was already very poor, so it was necessary to maintain a certain sense of oppression on her.

…

After wasting a little time, it was already time for lunch when we got home. The two of us, who were free for the first time in a long time, cooked together and had a lot of fun.

"Shuimu, our child is very healthy."

"Well, you'll be an excellent ninja in the future!"

Ninjas have excellent physical fitness, so their offspring rarely die due to congenital reasons. Mizuki is relatively confident about the future of this child.

"Hey, Shuimu, when our daughter is born, will she have no playmates?" Xiaochun asked with some concern.

"Maybe." After all, Konoha Village was established less than a hundred years ago, and the pace of ninja renewal is still quite obvious, and the baby booms of each generation are relatively concentrated. From the first generation of Hokage, the third generation, the three ninjas, the fourth generation, and the next generation including Mizuki and Hatake Kakashi, there are obvious signs of talent explosion, and this is exactly the time node for the growth of a new generation of ninjas. And the next generation happens to be the Konoha Twelve Ninjas represented by Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke.

However, something has happened. Among the people of the same age group as Hatake Kakashi and Mizuki, singleness has unexpectedly become popular. Most of them, both men and women, have not married or had children for various reasons, which is very embarrassing. Among the ninjas that are familiar with them, only Mizuki, Sarutobi Asuma and Gekko Hayate have successfully left the group of single ninjas who are idle all day long.
