Regarding this question, Shuimu thought for a while and said: "In the future, we need to control the number of directly synchronized memory clones. The potential of the human brain is huge. Isn't there a study that says that most of the human brain is unused? Frequent use may lead to a higher degree of development. Ninjas with excellent mental strength may have expertise in this area. There is another point you overlooked..."

Mizuki said, pointing at the shadow clone not far away.

"Is it appropriate to apply the common sense of the previous life? Look at all these clones. They are all entities with thinking wills, but they are just aggregates of chakra. In this world where chakra is the basis, the human brain is not the basis for determining thinking. Spirit, soul and chakra are."

"That's true. If they can even bring the dead back to life, what's the point of talking about human brain science!" The clone laughed at himself. "Let's not talk about anything else. If brain cells are really the only carrier for storing memories, then our bodies would have been replaced from top to bottom by the super cells synthesized by White Zetsu. Logically, we should have lost our memories. From the point of view of physicalism, we are not the same person as the previous Mizuki individual..."

Shuimu's original body said affirmatively: "Understand? In a world where supernatural powers are rampant, blindly applying common sense from previous lives will lead to many mistakes. White Zetsu can create countless clones without being affected, and our bodies may have inherited some of White Zetsu's characteristics. The key to everything should still be Yin-Yang escape."

After saying that, the main body formed a seal and released the shadow clone technique. Then a continuous chakra smoke exploded, and the shadow clones disappeared one after another.

Mizuki stood there for a long time before coming to his senses. He then stretched out his right hand, and a light blue chakra ball appeared in the palm of his hand, which then slowly turned into light yellow.

"Done?"

"Almost done. We were progressing very fast before, but it suddenly stopped. Now we are just finishing it up."

"It looks like you're not very skilled yet."

"Yes." Shuimu nodded and said, "Let's go back after taking a rest."

"Do you want to delve deeper into earth attribute ninjutsu?"

"No need." Mizuki was not originally going to be an expert in ninjutsu. Learning from Hatake Kakashi to be a copy ninja was not Mizuki's goal. "Focus on practicing the transformation of chakra properties and don't be distracted by other things. It seems that you should be able to complete the development of the third attribute before the Chunin Exam."

"After the earth attribute, what attribute should I cultivate next?"

"Thunder!" Shuimu doesn't think much of the excellent stabbing ability, but the ability to restrain the earth attribute and paralyze the body is very valuable.

…

On the streets of Konoha, Mizuki, who had finished his training, strolled among the crowd. Unlike the bright red New Year in his previous life, the New Year customs in the ninja world were slightly more elegant. Light red and lavender lights began to be hung on the streets, and the occasional breeze made them sway slightly. The winter sun shone on people's faces. Although it did not bring much warmth, it also made the cheerful people smile.

Of course, if we don’t mention the noisy figures of the two watermelon rinds, one big and one small, who whizzed past Shuimu, did not forget to “show their youth” even in the cold weather, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, wearing a green tights, and making noises, everything would be so harmonious.

And the two guys in front are obviously not Konoha ninjas. Their body features are so obvious. The tall and strong Akagi and the slender Heitu are wandering around the streets. It seems that the roadside snacks have completely conquered their hearts. They can hardly put down what they are chewing in their mouths or holding in their hands.

"Could it be that these two "country bumpkins" from the Land of Earth stayed in Konoha for so long without returning?"

Mizuki shook his head and denied the idea. It had been almost two months since they last came to Konoha Village as envoys. Even if one was the granddaughter of the Tsuchikage and the other was his student, there was no way the Iwagakure Village would allow these two people to stay in Konoha and do nothing for so long.

But after looking at these two people carefully, Chitu seemed to have gained weight, and Heitu's long face was almost round, and with a mouth full of food that he was constantly chewing, it looked even rounder.

"No way?"

Shuimu was somewhat shaken by his previous guess.

As if sensing the gazes being cast, Heitu and Chitu turned their heads at the same time and met Mizuki's eyes.

"Long time no see, two distinguished guests from the Hidden Rock Village..."

"Mizuki Jonin?" Kurotsuchi swallowed the food in his mouth in two or three gulps and said, "You are really a busy man. We have been in Konoha Village for so long and have not seen Mizuki Jonin once!"

"What do you want to talk to me about?"

It seems that he is not familiar with them, and Mizuki doesn't think he has any relationship with these two Iwagakure ninjas.

"It's nothing, it's just that we don't know anyone in Konoha. Mizuki Jonin is a rare acquaintance we've dealt with!"

Mizuki smiled and said, "Why don't you go back to Iwagakure? The New Year is coming soon."

"It's too cold in the Land of Earth at this time. Konoha is much more comfortable!"

"Really?" Such an outrageous reason could be given. Most likely, the mission of the messenger and spy was not completed.

Just then, an ANBU appeared in front of Mizuki.

"Jounin Mizuki, the Hokage has an urgent matter and is calling for relevant ninjas. Gather immediately."

"Understood." Mizuki nodded and apologized to the two Iwagakure ninjas, then quickly followed the Anbu.

"Mizuki Jonin, those two Iwagakure ninjas seem to be trying to get information about Konoha Genin and Deidara. Please do not deal with them unless necessary."

"knew."

The Rock Ninjas are not very valuable. Only the Light and Heavy Rock Jutsu of the Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki, which allows people to fly, and the Bloodline Elimination Technique are very precious. Except for the Jinchūriki, the others will basically have no impact on the structure of the ninja world.

Arriving at the Hokage's office, the Anbu knocked on the door and led Mizuki inside before disappearing in a flash.

Mizuki looked around and saw that besides Tsunade, Shizune was also present, as well as a masked ANBU, who looked like Tenzou, whom Mizuki had met once.

"Everyone is here." Seeing Mizuki coming in, Tsunade said, "There is a mission that you need to carry out during the Chunin Exam."

Shuimu and Tianzang each received a task description.

"Hey, there's still Shizune?"

Mizuki, slightly puzzled, flipped open the document in his hand and saw that it was indeed about the disposition of the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki of Takigakure.

"The information is all in there. You don't need to ask about the reasons." Tsunade said concisely, "If the Jinchūriki loses control, Tenzō will be responsible for subduing the Seven-Tails, Mizuki will be responsible for sealing it, and Shizune, as the chief examiner of the second exam, will be responsible for arranging support and treating the injured."
