In terms of ability, Mizuki is not bad, but in Tsunade's mind, this guy is not such an honest person. If he is allowed to be the chief examiner, the candidates may be psychologically traumatized by him. To be on the safe side, he was positioned as an assistant from the beginning. The barrier formation of the Death Forest was created by him. Some things are really difficult to do without him!

Other candidates, Hatake Kakashi and Sarutobi Asuma, are very suitable, but unfortunately they have to be excluded because of suspicion. There are also some older jonin who are capable of completing the task, but they are only the chief examiners of the Chunin Exam. They do not need to fight or have a special identity to suppress the situation, so it is more appropriate to let the young ninjas gain experience.

Thinking of this, Tsunade suddenly glanced at Shizune who was standing aside sorting out paperwork, and had an idea in her mind.

"Second round of the Chunin Exam. Shizune, you will be the chief examiner!"

"Eh?" The sudden command made Shizune unable to react. She was stunned for a long time before she realized what Tsunade meant.

"No way, Lady Tsunade, isn't this inappropriate?" Shizune quickly waved her hands to refuse, "I have never experienced such a thing, I have no experience, I really can't do it."

"What's inappropriate?" Tsunade said, "In terms of strength, you are also a jonin, and in terms of status, you are the disciple of the Hokage, and no one dares to say anything. Besides, the second round of the Chunin Exam is the time for medical ninjas to show their skills, so isn't it just right for you to be the chief examiner?"

"But..." Jingyin said with some embarrassment, "I feel unsure about such an important matter when a newbie like me is asked to do it."

Tsunade said, "You are already a jonin, is there any need to be so unconfident? Although the second exam is troublesome, it is actually the easiest for the examiner. All the work will be done by subordinates and assistants, and you only need to arrange for the rescue of failed candidates. Besides, you are going there with my orders, what are you afraid of? No one dares to disobey your orders!"

"Lady Tsunade, would you please reconsider this?"

"It's settled, this is the order from the Hokage!" Tsunade made the final decision.

"yes!"

In that case, Shizune could only reluctantly agree.

…

On the way back, the weather was much better than when we came, but it was still cold. Without the biting north wind, it was not so unbearable. With the ninja's physique and ability, there was basically no hindrance to movement.

With the candidate information of Takigakure Village in his hand, Mizuki did not take it to heart, but was guessing how Kabuto Yakushi would respond to his questions.

"I really want to know what Yakushi Kabuto is thinking. His continuous requests have revealed so much information. It would be abnormal for a smart person like Yakushi Kabuto not to think about it more!"

To a certain extent, Shuimu comes from the memories of the previous life, which is not much different from the prophecy. Although the sources of information are different, the effects produced are basically the same.

I feel like since I started dealing with Pharmacist Kabuto, I've been acting more and more like a swindler.

The stagnant ninja world, if we really wait three years in accordance with the plan, and wait for the two young boys Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke to come to save the world, it is still unknown whether it is reliable. In the original memory, the process of the two people who are the reincarnations of Indra and Ashura sealing Kaguya Otsutsuki was extremely thrilling. If Black Zetsu did not betray, even Uchiha Madara might not be able to defeat them. It is hard to say which one is easier to deal with, a weak woman with super power or a weaker fighting genius.

If he needs to charge into battle by himself, it will be too dangerous. It is better to test the waters first and see what Kabuto can do with his ability. The Akatsuki organization is hunting down Orochimaru. If Kabuto Yakushi can take action, I wonder how Pein and Uchiha Obito will respond.

Sooner or later, Kabuto Yakushi will take action. However, with the suppression of Orochimaru, a powerful man he admires so much, it is unknown whether he can get out of his narrow outlook on life. Questioning his own identity and existence? Mizuki couldn't help but laugh at the thought. Kabuto Yakushi, who was trapped in this philosophical paradox, had a smart brain but no wisdom to comprehend life. It was ridiculous that a guy who was trapped in a self-constructed mental cage finally regarded joining Orochimaru as proof of realizing the value of life.

"Maybe, if I give him a push, he might do something surprising!"

At this moment, Shuimu suddenly stopped and looked at a figure emerging from the snow not far away.

"Another Soul Death Jutsu? Kabuto, you really have no imagination!"

Although it was the face of Kabuto Yakushi, Shuimu could clearly feel that it was just a moving puppet.

“Why this face?”

Yakushi Kabuto replied: "Isn't this just to appear more polite when talking to you?"

"Politeness?" Mizuki released his perception, but did not find any reaction from Kabuto Yakushi's chakra. It seemed that he concealed it very well this time, most likely using a powerful barrier to block the perception of chakra.

"If you are really polite, you should come and communicate with me face to face instead of being a moving puppet!"

"I'm really sorry. I don't dare to communicate with Mizuki Jonin alone. When I have the qualifications, I will have a pleasant conversation with Mizuki Jonin. What do you think?"

The difference in strength makes it impossible for Yakushi Kabuto to trade with Mizuki on an equal footing alone. The only way to save his life is to avoid him. Otherwise, he will be held hostage and blackmailed like the last time they met.

"Tsk, you really don't have the guts." The other party was very well prepared, and Shuimu couldn't find any clues about him for a while. "Tell me, can you meet my requirements? If not, the deal is off. But next time we meet, don't blame me for being ruthless..."

"Is there any humanity between us? When has Mizuki Jonin ever been soft on his enemies? He can be merciless even to his own people. It's really admirable!"

"That's a pity. I thought we were on the same path." Mizuki shrugged and said indifferently: "First of all, I want to know whether Danzo's Kotoamatsukami has been used."

“That’s true.”

Yakushi Kabuto answered Mizuki's question very readily.

"I see, this is really good news!"

Mizuki didn't ask who Kotoamatsukami was used on. Anyway, it seemed that Kabuto Yakushi and Orochimaru were not affected, so it didn't matter much if it was someone else. It was enough to know that Danzo would not have the opportunity to use Kotoamatsukami for several years.
