A year's plan starts with spring, and a day's plan starts with the morning. Shuimu, who got up early, didn't encounter any good things, but got into some trouble. Being a nanny doesn't seem like something a 20-something man should do. He is tall and looks a little thin because of the serious physical loss after the injury, but he looks very energetic.

Mizuki, who had decided to relax completely, took advantage of the fact that it was still early and the weather was not so hot, and came to the Hokage Rock to get some fresh air. Since crossing over, this was the first time he had seen Konoha Village from this perspective.

From this perspective, Konoha Village is indeed ridiculously large for a village, and it already looks like a super-large town. Among human settlements of this scale, there are really few that are larger and more prosperous than Konoha. The entire village extends outward in a fan shape from the Hokage Rock. The buildings are lined up in a neat and distinctive manner. There is no pollution from the previous life, and the greening rate is also surprisingly high. Living in such a garden-like livable place must be a very happy thing.

From the feeling point of view, the current style of the village is still in the transition stage from steampunk to the electrical age, so you can see some styles that don’t match, but when combined together there is no sense of abruptness. Instead, there is a product of a strange cultural atmosphere that permeates it.

Just as Shuimu was leisurely admiring such a peaceful and prosperous village that he might never see again in more than a month, a guy who always gave off an untrustworthy aura walked over.

"Is it Kabuto Yakushi? What is he doing here? Is he here to see me?"

Although it was a narrow encounter, Shuimu was not afraid.

"Although I'm probably no match for him in a face-to-face fight, it's unwise to face Kabuto Yakushi without being prepared, but if a fight really breaks out, I can run away if I can't do it."

Although Kabuto Yakushi is very strong now, he is far from the strength and courage to fight alone in the later period. Moreover, Mizuki at this time dare not show his teeth to Orochimaru, but Kabuto Yakushi is not afraid. It is better to fight and get a little injured to show loyalty to the village.

Having said that, as Yakushi Kabuto approached, Mizuki became alert, because Mizuki could not accept any situation that might happen due to carelessness. He had finally cleared himself and was about to become a righteous partner and life mentor to his first love, but it would be a great loss if he was killed here.

Yakushi Kabuto stopped about ten steps away from Shuimu, adjusted his glasses, and said with a smile: "Senior Shuimu, you have been hard to find recently. I heard that you were seriously injured. I am relieved to see that you are okay."

"Come on, Kabuto," Mizuki said rudely, "Hasn't anyone ever told you that? Your smile is so fake."

Dou didn't take Mizuki's words seriously. His original impression of Mizuki was that he was a guy who looked powerful but was actually weak, with great ambitions but little talent.

"I really don't understand why Lord Orochimaru would fall for such an incompetent guy."

Despite his thoughts, Kabuto still said with his signature spy smile, "You can't say that, Senior. Anyway, I've been having a hard time looking for you."

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"It's not a big deal. Lord Orochimaru has issued a mission to kill Uchiha Sasuke. I hope you can help me assassinate the target. As long as you can make some noise in the Konoha Hospital to attract the attention of the Anbu, it will be fine."

"Why should I help you?" Shuimu refused, "This is none of my business, and I don't get any benefit from it."

"Don't say that, Senior. If you complete the mission and receive the appreciation of Lord Orochimaru, you may be rewarded. Hasn't Senior already obtained the power that was bestowed?"

"Don't ask me for being a scapegoat to attract attention. As for bestowing power, I don't have the blessing to enjoy it." After saying that, Mizuki raised his voice and said, "I know my position in Orochimaru's heart. You don't need to talk nonsense. If you really want to get something from me, show me something real. Don't make empty promises like a liar like you, and don't give me some power that will kill you if you use it. This is for you. If you feel it is necessary, you can also tell Orochimaru."

Only then did Yakushi Kabuto realize that something was wrong.

"Are you going to betray Lord Orochimaru?" Senior Kabuto Yakushi stopped shouting.

"Don't talk like I'm in the same group with you guys." Mizuki said disdainfully, "You, as a popular person around him, must know exactly how little Orochimaru cares about me. I have only talked about the possibility of surrendering to him, but have not taken any action yet, and Orochimaru must have never taken me seriously. So from the beginning to the end, I have never been Orochimaru's subordinate, and there is no question of betrayal, let alone obeying your orders. If you want to recruit me, then show your sincerity and make an offer. There is nothing in this world that cannot be traded, provided you can pay the price."

Having said that, the situation becomes clear.

"I haven't seen you for a long time. You are really impressive~" Yakushi Kabuto gave up the idea of ​​luring Shuimu, "I didn't expect that after being seriously injured, your IQ has increased a lot."

"Lying in bed and unable to do anything, I can only think about random things. Things that I didn't understand before will become clearer if I think about them more." Shuimu also said casually.

"In that case, there's nothing we can do. In order to prevent the secret from being leaked, I can't let you go. What a pity." Pharmacist Dou took out a scalpel and prepared to start.

"Then you try it. To be honest, it's very conspicuous here. I'm curious how you can make me shut up silently?"

Although he said it confidently, this kind of encounter is really not good for Mizuki himself. The environment on the Hokage Rock is not suitable for his special skills. If he were in a complex jungle environment, with his tactical advantages in illusion, sealing, barrier and summoning, it would be a good idea to fight with Kabuto Yakushi to test his level. Now he can only hope that the other party will be cautious and retreat quickly if he can't defeat him in a short time.

Mizuki and Kabuto Yakushi's fighting styles were not the type that could make a lot of noise. Kabuto Yakushi, who used a short and sharp blade like a scalpel, fought aggressively, but Mizuki, who wielded a huge wind demon shuriken, fought and retreated, not confronting Kabuto Yakushi head-on, but just parrying and trying not to get close, a completely time-delaying style of fighting. After all, Kabuto Yakushi's chakra scalpel and palm magic were too damaging to the body, and if he was not careful, he would not be able to make it.

In close combat, there are not many tricks. Although Kabuto Yakushi is talented, Mizuki is also a Chunin with rich combat experience. If one side wants to delay time in a short period of time, it is almost impossible to determine the winner. If you use ninjutsu to attack, the movement is too loud, which is too passive for Kabuto Yakushi, a spy in a suspicious place.
