As for the others, Shuimu didn't know what to say. To be honest, the unborn little Miyuki really couldn't find many playmates of the same age. Of course, there were still some civilian children with poor ninja qualities. It's just that there was a lack of excellent ninjas, simply because these adult ninjas were unwilling to get married and have children, which was really ridiculous.

"What goes around comes around!"

Tsunade and Shizune, who hang out in the Hokage's office every day, are both single at an advanced age. Of course, the ninjas below will follow their example. The power of role models is always infinite.

"Are you mocking Lady Tsunade?"

Xiaochun pursed her lips and rolled her eyes at Mizuki who seemed a little smug.

"I don't know what you think every day. What's so funny about this?"

"You don't understand." Shuimu shook his head and said, "Don't worry about them. As long as our little Meixing can grow up happily, it's fine. If she doesn't have a playmate, just give her another little sister."

"Miss?" Xiao Chun, who was already well aware of Shuimu's occasionally incoherent way of speaking, didn't want to argue with Shuimu over this address that was full of flaws.

"I'm really worried about what kind of person your children will become in the future."

"Don't worry. Without those arrogant little boys of the same age to bother you, my little Miyuki will definitely be an outstanding ninja who stands out from the crowd in the future. She might even become the legendary female Hokage..."

"Female Hokage? Legendary? Lady Tsunade is still alive and she has become a legend?" Xiaochun couldn't help but interrupt Mizuki and said, "Hokage, do you feel the same way?"

"Think about it, what's there to be afraid of? Let's not talk about this anymore, let's eat!"

…

At the training ground, the weather was clear and there was no biting cold wind, so it didn't feel so uncomfortable.

Haruno Sakura looked at Mizuki with some trepidation.

"Not a clone?"

"How do you want to confirm it?" Mizuki patted Sakura's shoulder and said, "With your level, you can't even tell the difference between the real person and the clone standing in front of you."

Apart from having extremely good perception or powerful eye techniques to see the difference in chakra distribution between the original body and the clone, the only way is to be strong enough to force Mizuki to use Sage Mode, and Sakura is still far from that at the moment.

"Oh." Sakura replied confusedly: "Is the test starting now?"

"Just be ready." Shuimu said indifferently: "Let me remind you first that this assessment is very important. It will affect your training tasks in the future. Also, it will affect my evaluation of you, which will directly affect how quickly you are promoted to Chunin."

"So serious?"

Although I knew that this master was usually easy to talk to and didn't interfere with his disciples' actions, he was surprisingly particular about the time nodes and assessment results. He didn't care much about how to allocate time and how to complete the task, but it would be terrible if the requirements were not met.

"I've warned you long ago that you want to help Sasuke. I don't care how you arrange your training, as long as the assessment satisfies me. Start when you're ready!"

Upon hearing this, Sakura knew that she couldn't be careless, so she quickly stepped back and took a stance. Seeing that Mizuki didn't move first, she quickly formed a seal.

"Shadow Clone Technique!"

Several identical clones of Haruno Sakura appeared, then quickly spread out and surrounded Mizuki.

Seeing the opening ninjutsu, Mizuki nodded in satisfaction. Using the weak to defeat the strong, using the shadow clones and chakra control to exert tactical advantages, there was nothing wrong with that.

The shadow clones surrounding Shuimu did not hesitate. The pale yellow chakra surged in his right fist, and he punched forward diagonally and hit the ground in front of him. Then, a piece of rock spikes suddenly rose up and stabbed diagonally towards Shuimu. There was no room to dodge in the surrounding space, so Shuimu had to jump up to avoid the earth spikes that surrounded Shuimu. The earth spikes below collided with each other, making a collision sound, and then turned into a pile of broken small pieces of earth.

"Is this a trick of changing the chakra form and combining it with the environment? The speed and power are okay."

Just as Mizuki was hesitating, Haruno Sakura below swung her free left hand again, and a series of transparent chakra threads wrapped around Mizuki, binding him tightly. Mizuki, who had nowhere to lean on in the air, was hit without any resistance. Before Mizuki could react, a kunai was shot out, stabbing Mizuki in the blink of an eye. Mizuki, who was hit, fell heavily to the ground, and then with a bang, he turned into a piece of rotten wood with scars all over it.

"A substitution technique? It's really hard to deal with." Sakura's shadow clones formed a circle with serious faces, holding kunai upside down, and were on guard against the missing Mizuki.

However, in the circle formed by Sakura with her back to back, the rotten wood that fell next to the small pile of dirt on the ground made another bang, and Mizuki's figure appeared in the chakra smoke.

"How come?"

Before Sakura's shadow clones could turn around to protect themselves, a ball of intense flames suddenly spread out, and the shadow clones that were swept by it quickly disappeared one by one.

"No real body? Still cautious."

Mizuki smiled, then reached out and pulled out the kunai from his body.

"Is the power too weak? It can't even penetrate the basic defense of the combat suit? The nature and form of the chakra have changed, and the medical ninjutsu has enhanced the strength of both offense and defense, but the most basic strength of the body is still very weak!"

The combat uniforms of the Chunin and Jonin are not just for show, they also have good defense for vital parts. Sometimes a little advantage on the battlefield can mean the difference between life and death.

"I never thought that Master Shuimu would use such a tactic, and Yin Yushangmie could actually do it to this extent."

Haruno Sakura herself was also recovering from her injuries, but she was not even close to Mizuki. Her chakra micro-manipulation was as precise as a blade! She was already very proud of being able to offset the damage from her fists and feet, but she didn't expect to see a monster today.

"It's worth shedding a little blood to let my lovely disciples feel the dangers of the battlefield." While he was speaking, the wound, which was originally just a minor skin injury, had now completely healed.

"I didn't expect you to learn this trick, not bad."

The echoes coming from all directions can conceal Sakura's real location. Even if she makes a sound, her hiding place will not be exposed.

"In battle, there are often no options that have the best of both worlds. What we have to do is to make a judgment that is beneficial to ourselves in the shortest possible time and then execute it. I just demonstrated to you how to trade injuries for injuries and tactical deception. Now, let me see your frontal attack ability."

Sakura can hide her whereabouts from ordinary ninjas, but she cannot avoid Mizuki's perception with her abilities.

A huge fireball technique was shot forward, burning a giant tree. Haruno Sakura, who was hiding behind it, hurriedly dodged the attack and appeared in front of Mizuki.
