As the most prominent Genin team in Konoha's history, the three Genin of Team 8 don't seem to have much self-awareness. Although a small country's daimyo has considerable prestige, it is still inferior to Konoha's famous ninja family.

It is only because of the established rules of the ninja world that the daimyo is the legitimate ruler of this world, and the ninja is just a tool serving those in power.

Although this situation has changed a lot with the development of ninjas over thousands of years, the status of ninjas is still not as high as imagined. It is better to say that the lives of ninjas and ordinary people are partially separated, which leads to a certain degree of misunderstanding between the two.

Mizuki couldn't help but laugh when he saw the three Genin trembling with fear when they met the Daimyo. The pretentious Daimyo and the bureaucrats he represented seemed extremely ridiculous in Mizuki's eyes, and the people around him, including the ninjas except Mizuki, seemed to take this for granted. Thinking of this, Mizuki recalled the incident some time ago when Mizuki's clone used illusion to explore the living conditions of the residents of the Ninja World. How could the two obviously unbalanced parties, the secular forces that had no means of checking and balancing the ninjas, compete with the Ninja Village?

As for this mission, Mizuki was not too worried. How Tsunade convinced the Daimyo of Takikoku was not something Mizuki was interested in knowing. The third round of the Chunin Exam was usually the time for the nobles to watch. Now going to Konoha Village was nearly a month early. Although it was just to watch the Chunin Exam, Mizuki would not believe such an excuse. There must be some secret deal. However, this had little to do with Mizuki.

While Mizuki was lying on the side of the bumpy cart with his eyes closed, the three Genin walking nearby were thinking about their own things. Hyuga Hinata was worried about her performance in the Chunin Exam, Inuzuka Kiba was a little afraid of the Takinin who was traveling with him, and Aburame Shino was staring at the figure of the female ninja Fu with a serious look on her face.

Fu, who was extremely sensitive to sight, suddenly turned around and saw Aburame Shino looking at her. She quickly came to the side of the Konoha Genin and asked with interest, "Why are you looking at me? Is there something strange about me, or are you interested in me and want to make friends with me?"

Fu, who was looking at the three Genin with a smile, immediately put great pressure on Team 8. Hyuga Hinata was fine, but Inuzuka Kiba looked at this overly enthusiastic young lady with great vigilance. Aburame Shino was the worst, and could not help but step back and take a defensive posture.

"Hey, don't be afraid, I mean no harm. My name is Fu, a ninja from Takigakure. I'm going to Konoha to make friends... No, to take part in the Chunin Exam! Can you tell me your names? Introducing each other is the first step to becoming friends..."

Looking at this incoherent Taki ninja, Hyuga Hinata said with some pity: "Ya, Shino, this person seems a little abnormal, his brain is not working well!"

"Hey, are you talking about me? Little sister, I'm not stupid. I'm Fu. I can be your friend and have fun together, okay?"

The persuasive words did not receive a response, but instead attracted more wary eyes. It was only then that Tochi and Kun, who had arrived late, quickly grabbed the willful Fu, apologized to the people of Konoha, and then dragged the unwilling female ninja away.

"What's going on with that guy?" Inuzuka Kiba asked in confusion.

"Who knows!" Aburame Shino put away her overreacting defensive posture and said seriously, "I only know that person is dangerous, and her two teammates are also very strong."

If Inuzuka Kiba and Akamaru only felt that their opponents were difficult to deal with, Aburame Shino truly felt the overwhelming and terrifying aura from Fu.

The Seven-tailed Shigeaki is a bug-shaped tailed beast, which looks like a giant flying bug that is a combination of a beetle and a dragonfly. It has a pair of scaly tails, and the other six tails have all evolved into translucent wings. The extremely strong wing veins support the huge and beautiful tail wings, which can not only fly quickly, but also have extremely powerful large-scale attack capabilities. Shigeaki is the only one of the nine tailed beasts that can fly, and is also the fastest one.

Although the Seven-Tails is not an insect, the aura with obvious insect characteristics released by it makes the insect manipulator Shino Aburame and the insects she controls feel much more oppressive than other people. Fu is a rare Jinchūriki who can perfectly control the power of the tailed beasts. She can easily call upon the power of the tailed beasts, but the aura of the tailed beasts that is released unintentionally makes some ninjas or ninja beasts and summoned beasts with more sensitive perceptions extremely wary.

"Anyway, since they are candidates going to Konoha to take the Chunin Exam, they must be our competitors. When the time comes, we will naturally figure out what this unknown guy is up to."

Being able to fight against a strong man and win is what Inuzuka Kiba hopes for. The honor of defeating a strong enemy in public is something he must strive for. The boy who aims to become Hokage has not given up his childhood dream, at least until now.

Aburame Shino, who was puzzled, thought about it, walked to Mizuki and asked, "Mr. Mizuki, you seem to be very familiar with that female Taki Ninfu. What kind of person is she?"

"Why? Are you interested in him?" Mizuki opened his eyes and looked at Shino who was waiting for an answer. "As you can see, a female ninja who has not seen much of the world, what's so strange about that?"

"I always feel a little concerned..." Aburame Shino asked in a somewhat strange tone, "The parasite in my body is very abnormal, especially when she is close, it seems a little out of control, as if it is afraid of something terrible."

Aburame Shino couldn't even remember the last time she had such a lack of control, but she didn't expect it to happen again today.

"That means you haven't practiced enough, Shino!" Mizuki shook his head and replied, "This situation only occurs when the gap in strength is too big. It's like if I release murderous aura, you may even have difficulty thinking normally."

"Does that mean that Fu is stronger than me?"

Although she was very unwilling, Aburame Shino still believed in Mizuki's judgment and vision.

"Well, you have to work hard in the Chunin Exam. As rookies, your performance last time was just so-so. If you do badly this time, my reputation as a leading jonin for the first time will be ruined."

Aburame Shino, who will be able to fight the Ten-Tails clone successfully in the future, can't even withstand the momentum of the Seven-Tails with her current strength. She has a long way to go!
