Mizuki's original body and clones occasionally have verbal disputes, and these small problems are normal. The original body's considerations are sometimes emotional, but the fake Jinchūriki clones have different standpoints and are more calm and objective, so Mizuki often exchanges opinions on some key issues before synchronizing memories.

Regarding Mizuki's original answer, which was clearly emotional, the clone didn't want to say much.

"Just think about it!"

"You don't seem to agree with my approach?"

"It's not important. In fact, I don't think you realize how you've changed?"

"Changes?" Shuimu's main body was a little confused. "About what?"

"She has become more like a native ninja." The clone walked forward and looked at the mess on the ground. "The battle with the Genin can be so intense. It seems that Sakura has become much stronger."

The original body did not interfere with the clone's attempt to change the subject, but just waited for further explanation.

"There is one thing you may not have noticed." The clone pointed at the original's head. "Your behavior is subconsciously fulfilling the responsibilities of a ninja master. You and I both know that we are not as enthusiastic as we seem to be towards people other than Xiaochun, but you are still dedicated to teaching this disciple to the point of being a little doting. In the past, you may not care much about these secret techniques and inheritances, and you taught whenever you wanted. But now, from your actions to your way of thinking, you are not much different from a native ninja..."

"Is that true?"

"It's okay to talk about the breath-retaining technique, chakra shield, sealing technique, etc. It can also be said that the time traveler unconsciously made a somewhat overly generous move. Now it's not the same. If you had just traveled through time, you would have only one way to act, that is, to throw the things to Sakura to learn by herself, and then ask questions when you have any questions, instead of worrying about these trivial matters like you do now!"

"You mean, my identity as a master constrains me?"

"No, what I want to say is that you are now a Konoha ninja with fairly normal actions, and the traces of being a time traveler are slowly fading."

"This shouldn't be a bad thing!"

The clone smiled and said, "You said that we will no longer like sushi and will like ramen instead. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?"

This bit of bad-humored teasing made Shuimu laugh out loud: "That means it's irrelevant. Why are you thinking about this when you have nothing to do?"

The clone said calmly: "I think this is what I do. The other clone is in the dark underground, enhancing your strength. I will observe your changes from a close distance and serve as the first line of mental defense."

"Is this also one of my subconscious actions caused by my subconscious anxiety?"

"Maybe!" The clone shrugged and said, "In addition to observing myself, there should be another task, to observe this world and distinguish between friends and foes!"

The main body nodded and said, "That's interesting! A person can lie, a group can be deceived, a village can be hypocritical, and a country can be fooled, but the entire human society will definitely reflect the most authentic attitude."

"It's a bit boring to talk to myself. I don't even have a chance to show my superiority. Sigh..."

"You feel superior to me, that's the beginning of independent thinking. Of course, the same goes for inferiority!" Mizuki said, "Now that you put it, I understand. Giving Sakura that technique was also for inheritance. Giving a child a shotgun, she can only play with it as an iron stick, but when the child grows up, there will always be a day when she understands. Even if she doesn't understand, as long as it is passed on, one day someone will find out that it is a shotgun with great lethality, not an iron stick."

"This is a typical ninja inheritance thinking. The Third Hokage inherited the will of love and fire, and Uchiha Madara firmly believed that power is mine. And you are worried that if we fail, no one will know what we have done, which would be a pity. Although the starting point is different, the process and result are not much different. We leave our traces and ideas in this world to future generations."

"So that's why you didn't stop me?"

"Why stop it? Just like you said, it's a very useful illusion." At this point, the clone teased with a smirk, "It's just that your naming ability is still so unreliable. You can't think of it yourself, so you just copy it. You can even come up with such a soft name like 'Xishuixiang'."

This time, the main body seemed a little annoyed: "What's wrong with that? It sounds good and explains the type of illusion, the illusion that creates dreams."

The clone shook his head jokingly and said, "Since this is the naming style, then will you specialize in fire escape in the future, and then combine it with fairy arts, create a huge flame incarnation, mix a bandit name of 'Heaven and Earth Jiehuo', and then call yourself the Flame-haired Shakugan... No, the Silver-haired Shakugan's Crusaders? Oh, and you also need to get a katana and learn swordsmanship..."

"Enough!" The real Shuimu interrupted the clone and said angrily, "Exchange memories!"

…

At Haruno's residence, Sakura stayed in her room feeling somewhat depressed. She had finally passed the test and returned home in a hurry. She wanted to take a shower and dress up before going to find Sasuke, but her parents kept her at home, asking her to wash clothes and clean the house while the weather was better.

By the time I'm done with my work, there's not much time left to go out.

Sakura, who was a little annoyed and stayed in her room, unconsciously picked up the high-level illusion that Mizuki gave her, and lay lazily on the bed watching it slowly.

After a while, Sakura, who was watching intently, sat up suddenly and said to herself in surprise, "Is this really an illusion?"

The traditional explanation of illusion is very clear, it is a technique that uses chakra to affect the enemy's senses, causing cognitive errors and hallucinations, misleading the enemy or mentally attacking the enemy. Although there are many different forms of ninjutsu, the theory is similar, the difference is only the degree of sophistication of the means.

Of course, there are also illusions that are completely independent of the five senses and are enforced. These illusions are extremely troublesome and costly forbidden techniques, such as Kotoamatsukami and Izanami.

And this illusion - Xishuixiang? Well, although Sakura also knew that it was not easy to come up with a decent name with Master Mizuki's poor naming ability. But the description was a bit confusing. This technique was something Sakura had never heard of. It was an illusion that did not rely on the five senses to enforce. As long as there was a creature with thinking and chakra, it was theoretically impossible to escape the influence of this illusion.
