"Cooperation?" Shuimu was a little surprised that the word "transaction" was not used. "There is a basis for cooperation only when there is a common goal. I really can't think of any other connection between you and me except for the transaction in which we both get what we need. As for cooperation..."

Shuimu smiled and shook his head. It was really not reliable for two people who didn't trust each other to talk about cooperation.

Yakushi Kabuto didn't respond to Shuimu's teasing in any special way. He seemed to have been prepared and said, "Don't refuse too early. What I said is beneficial to everyone."

"Since you are so sure, let me hear it."

The Daimyo of Takikuni is not very far away, so even if he wants to launch a sneak attack, Mizuki will be able to support him in time, so there is no need to worry about Kabuto Yakushi using a strategy to lure the tiger away from the mountain.

"Mizuki Jonin, do you still remember Scorpion of the Red Sand in the Akatsuki organization?"

"Red Sand Scorpion? Of course I remember!" This was the first big shot that Shuimu killed, so it was impossible for him to forget it easily. "What's the point of talking about a dead person?"

Yakushi Kabuto replied: "It doesn't matter that the Red Sand Scorpion is indeed dead. But when he died, he almost implicated me!"

After saying that, Yakushi Kabuto smiled, as if trying to attract Mizuki's attention with a sense of mystery.

"Involved?" Shuimu understood what Yakushi Kabuto meant after a brief thought, "You are also a puppet controlled by the Red Sand Scorpion. Your master is dead, so how come your head didn't get blown off by the Scorpion?"

"You know all this?" Yakushi Kabuto asked in surprise. This can't be explained by intelligence ability. Before this technique was activated, Yakushi Kabuto himself didn't know that he was still being controlled by the Red Sand Scorpion. The identity of a multi-faceted spy is really well deserved.

"I feel ashamed to show off my skills in front of Mizuki Jonin. Thanks to Lord Orochimaru's timely rescue, I was able to save my life! Since you know everything, you must also know that Lord Orochimaru and Scorpion were once partners of the Akatsuki organization. There are many things that the outside world does not know. Naturally, there are also some top-secret intelligence and precious information that are impossible to be circulated. With the death of Scorpion, these things are only known by Lord Orochimaru and me. No matter how capable Mizuki Jonin is, it is impossible for him to know everything. And this is the basis of our cooperation."

"Such a vague thing cannot convince me!"

If he had believed Kabuto Yakushi's words easily, Mizuki would have been eaten to pieces. As for Scorpion of the Red Sand, what could he have that was worth coveting? Human puppet making technology? Mizuki had better cloning technology! Mizuki was not interested in anything else, whether it was poison making or puppet master secrets such as the Hundred Machines Manipulation. He was not a pure puppet master, so what was the point of having them?

"You don't have to say it so absolutely. After all, it is a collection of a legendary puppeteer..."

"If you don't have any other useful suggestions, there's no need to continue the conversation. It's a waste of time."

No matter how many ninjutsu there are or how good the development direction is, it is of little use to Shuimu. When he first crossed over, Shuimu, who was anxious to improve his strength and protect himself, might have been a little interested, but now, it is time to cultivate his own potential. The ninja schools that are broad but not pure, disorganized, and have unclear development directions can no longer impress Shuimu.

"Well, even if you are not interested in these, at least we still have a common enemy, the people of the Akatsuki organization. We can form an alliance and kill a few of their core members first..."

Mizuki waved his hand to stop Yakushi Kabuto from talking.

"Although I am a Konoha ninja, I am not the Hokage yet. There is no need for me to take the initiative and risk my life for the village's enemies. You should talk to Tsunade about what I just said. I am just a Konoha Jonin who follows orders! Finally, I remind you, don't preach to me. The relationship between us is purely a transaction. I don't believe a word you say. If you want to get something from me, bring out the real goods to exchange!"

Three years is not a very long time. If you create too much trouble for yourself, you are courting death.

"The heart of Mizuki Jonin is really as hard as iron. It seems difficult to be convinced of something he has made up his mind."

"Persuade?" Mizuki suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Kabuto Yakushi's throat. "You are a clone with little power. What gives you the courage to talk nonsense in front of me? Kabuto Yakushi was here just now and I discovered him, so I asked you to delay time. Don't think he is safe now. I am just too lazy to make trouble. Don't think I don't know what you are planning! The chakra of the tailed beast in Orochimaru's hand is not easy to take, right? So you come to take the tailed beast of Takigakure? I told you the method of practicing the Sage Mode, do you think you can hide it from me?"

After saying that, Shuimu threw Kabuto Yakushi to the ground. A disposable puppet, he threw it away without any regret. It seemed that Kabuto Yakushi had resources that Shuimu envied.

"Ahem..." Kabuto Yakushi coughed to relieve the discomfort in his neck. After a while, he panted and said, "So, there really is a Jinchūriki among the Takinin candidates? It seems that I guessed right, but I'm unlucky to run into you head-on!"

"If you know, get out of here right now. Before I change my mind, you'd better disappear from my sight. Otherwise, your real body won't be able to leave either."

"Since you have upset Mizuki Jonin, I will not bother you any more. As an apology before leaving, I will give you a free piece of information. Konoha's Root has reconnected with Lord Orochimaru to start cooperation. The details are not very clear, but two blood samples and some semi-finished products of the experiment were sent to Lord Orochimaru. The name on the sample label is Gekko Hayate."

After saying this, without waiting for the surprised Mizuki to ask any questions, the eyes of the Yakushi Kabuto in front of him instantly lost their luster, and he fell to the ground and turned into a lifeless shell.

"Blood sample? Was the super cell sample made by fusing the White Zetsu cells leaked? And was it sent to Orochimaru?"

The unexpected information really surprised Mizuki. A place that he had not noticed before had unexpected developments. However, Mizuki was not sure how long it would take Orochimaru to solve the mystery of the super cells.

"This is such a terrible development. I have no right to care what happens to the ninja world in the end."

The originally good mood was ruined by a guy who suddenly appeared. After returning to the Takikuni Daimyo team, his unhappy face made the three students of Class 8 consciously not to bring bad luck at this time.
