After finishing the meal, it was almost dark, and Xianglin, who had helped to clean up the dishes, prepared to go home.

Standing at the door and watching Karin's receding back, Xiaochun held Mizuki's hand tightly.

"We are so lucky to be in Konoha!"

"yes."

In fact, it is even more fortunate that both of them can become ninjas, which, at least to a certain extent, gives them more freedom and power to control their own destiny.

"Why don't you go and see her off? It's getting dark!"

Mizuki shook his head and said, "She will be a ninja soon, even if she is just a Genin. She is no longer a helpless little girl who needs our care in everything..."

"Ninja!" Although he had long understood that with Karin's talent, becoming a ninja was a matter of time, he had not expected that this day would come so soon after he had left.

“That’s a good thing!”

"I know." Xiaochun followed Mizuki and walked back to the house, "It feels like a grown-up child starting to leave home!"

"What are you thinking about? When our little Meixing speaks out, you'll have something to worry about..."

What makes Shuimu feel fortunate is that the cost of raising a child in the ninja world does not seem to be that high. There is no need to cultivate any special hobbies and skills, nor to spend a lot of money on cram schools. It is enough to just learn how to be a ninja.

…

The next day, at noon, Shuimu had breakfast and took a walk on the street. Then he walked to the door of the Four Seasons Flower Shop, which he hadn't been to for a long time, but was surprised to find that the flower shop was not open for business.

"How come there is no one here?"

Mizuki opened the door and walked in puzzled. The fake Jinchūriki clone was not inside. He casually scratched the countertop with his finger, picked it up and saw a layer of dust on his finger. It seemed that no one had been here for many days.

I opened the drawer behind the counter and saw that the files were placed in exactly the same place, without any abnormality.

"It doesn't look like anything happened. It seems like he left for something. Did he find something?"

It is not surprising that the clone was able to discover some unusual things, but it was a bit strange that he left without leaving any information.

It has only been seven or eight days since the last memory exchange. In such a short period of time, the clone should not have any thoughts that are detrimental to the original body. But is there something so important that it can't even wait until the original body comes back?

The main task of the clone who stays in the village is to observe and deal with some things that Shuimu cannot take care of. Compared with the other clone's task, it seems to be much easier, but it is actually quite brain-intensive. The observation task itself is very demanding on one's patience, and one also has to analyze the observed phenomena and see the essence through the phenomena, so it is very demanding on one's vision.

There is also the training progress of Sakura and the 8th Team Genin. Mizuki may not be able to take care of everything because he is too busy, but having the clone to help observe and deal with some simple questions is already a pretty good help.

Shuimu, who was sitting in the flower shop, first spent some time cleaning the entire shop. He then rechecked the barrier set up in the shop according to his own ideas. After confirming that it was correct, he took advantage of the fact that no one was visiting and started to study the Inorganic Reincarnation Technique that he had just obtained.

As a fairy technique that gives life to inorganic matter, it must have a wide range of applications. Limited by the properties of its own chakra and the influence of the environment, Kabuto Yakushi gives life to the soil. It is not only fast in action and has considerable attack power, but the key is to operate it freely and fearlessly. Mizuki knows this very well. In a specific environment, it is much more useful than many powerful ninjutsu or even fairy techniques.

With Mizuki in Sage Mode, it shouldn't be difficult to use the Inorganic Reincarnation Technique. Although it focuses on the earth attribute, it is still a sage technique in essence, and is different from ordinary attribute ninjutsu. Although Mizuki also has some basic earth escape techniques, the power and consumption are completely incomparable to fire escape techniques. However, with the natural energy bonus in Sage Mode, using this sage technique shouldn't be a problem.

However, Shuimu was particularly interested in this technique, not because he was interested in how Yaoshi Dou used it, but because he wanted to develop a magic technique that suits him by combining his own fire attributes.

You should know that the name of this technique is "Inorganic Reincarnation" instead of "Earth Escape Reincarnation", which means that this technique may not be limited to the earth attribute, and it is very likely that the fire attribute is also applicable.

Although flames are not the same as soil, flames in nature are not even considered as matter, but just a heat release phenomenon after intense combustion. However, even if chakra simulates flames, its essence will not change. Although it is not "inorganic", it is even difficult to say whether it is "matter", but since it is a ninjutsu or fairy art, it is bound to be inseparable from the shackles of chakra. As long as you find the means to give life with natural energy, and give life to your own fire attribute chakra that has undergone changes in form and nature, then a new fire attribute "inorganic reincarnation technique" will be born.

"No, this is not called the Inorganic Reincarnation Technique. The so-called Flame Clone Technique will no longer be a castle in the air, and the potential for development is far more than this..."

The Inorganic Reincarnation Technique is a large-scale ninjutsu. If there are a large number of extremely powerful fire clones, it is extraordinary. If the Inorganic Reincarnation Technique does not hit a person, it will not cause any harm. The high-temperature purgatory formed by countless fire clones standing still can burn a ninja with weak resistance into charcoal. This is a completely destructive ninjutsu at the level of a natural disaster.

"There's just one thing, how can I protect myself from the high temperature of the flames..."

Mizuki didn't want to experience the humiliating experience of being seriously injured by his own special move like the Third Raikage did.

When Shuimu was studying this magical technique that he had finally mastered, he suddenly felt a familiar chakra coming towards him from afar.

"It's Sakura, what's the matter at this time?"

Mizuki put away the ninjutsu information in his hand, looked up at the door, and soon, Sakura, whom he hadn't seen for several days, appeared in front of Mizuki.

"Why do you look like that?" Mizuki looked at Sakura, who seemed a little anxious. "Is there something urgent?"

"Master, there's something wrong with the scroll of concentration you gave me." Sakura replied, "I wanted to ask Master for help a few days ago, but I couldn't find anyone..."

"Eh?" The fake Jinchūriki clone seemed to have encountered something and was unable to answer Sakura's question in time. This was not a big problem, but the scroll of concentration technique would be damaged? Several Genin probably didn't have this ability yet.

"Take it out and let me see it!"
