Early in the morning, many people have the habit of taking a shower due to low blood pressure. Shuimu is one of them. On unbusy mornings, he usually takes a shower to refresh himself.
But today is not the right time. There is a guest at home. Although she is young, she is a girl. If something happens to her that she is a lucky pervert, it will be hard to explain.
Mizumu quickly washed up, dressed himself up a bit, and prepared to start his one-month mentoring career from today.
He poured a cup of tea for Sakura and himself, then sat face to face and started chatting.
Mizuki was the first to ask, "Since it's Kakashi who asked me to do this, and I've accepted the benefits, I will do my best to teach you something. First of all, I want to know what your purpose is. Is it just to deal with your Sound Ninja opponent, or to really improve your strength? You only have a month, and you can't learn much. You'd better think about it and answer well."
"Is there any difference?" Sakura asked in confusion.
"Being able to beat a specific person is not the same as being able to beat many people. Your opponent is indeed strong, but he has powerful specialties, which means that once he is deliberately targeted, he will be extremely passive. And real improvement in strength is a completely different matter. Think carefully about which one to choose." Shuimu explained patiently.
After hearing what Mizuki said, Sakura seemed to understand something and lowered her head to think.
Seeing that Sakura understood, Mizuki nodded approvingly.
"He is indeed a smart child. It is easy to teach him."
Mizuki waited quietly for Sakura's answer, drinking tea and eating the pastries that Sakura brought.
Soon, Sakura raised her head and said, "Please teach me how to become stronger, Master Mizuki~"
"Ahem." The word "Master" scared Shuimu so much that he almost spit out his tea. "Don't call me Master. You will have a more suitable Master in the future. I just received a favor from Kakashi and taught you something."
"No matter what, I can't forget your kindness in teaching me." Sakura said, "Let's just call you Mizuki-sensei as before."
"Okay." Shuimu nodded in agreement, "So what do you want to learn?"
"I don't know what to learn either." Sakura said awkwardly, "But the things that Mr. Mizuki taught me last time seemed easier to learn. How about learning that?"
"Ah." After hearing what Sakura said, Mizuki sighed, "Then I'll decide."
Such a gifted and intelligent child, because no one is guiding him, can't even figure out his own strengths and weaknesses. Konoha is indeed in a serious situation of lack of successors. If the three ninjas were all there, and the backbone of the village had not died or left, why would Mizuki need to teach Sakura such basic lessons? Naruto would not even know that he was a Jinchūriki, and had to wait until Jiraiya, who had returned to the village, came to teach him.
Next, when Mizuki was about to give Sakura some simple instructions, the door suddenly opened.
"Hey, are there guests at home?" Xiaochun pushed the door open and found Haruno Sakura.
"Hello, who are you?" Haruno Sakura hurriedly stood up and saluted.
"This is the Xiaochun I told you about." Shuimu stood up and introduced, "My fiancée."
"Ah, Mr. Mizuki, you have a fiancée? I'm sorry to bother you."
"It's okay, Mizuki, is this your student?"
"No, he's a student of Hatake Kakashi. I'm just acting as his instructor temporarily. We'll meet often in the next month." Mizuki explained.
"Is this the one you were talking about~" Xiaochun asked.
"Yes, it's that temporary worker." Shuimu said affirmatively.
"Teacher Mizuki, is this flower shop opened by you?" Haruno Sakura looked at this new shop which had only been open for a short time.
"Yeah, how does it feel?"
"Not bad, almost the same as Ino's." Sakura said, "I didn't expect that the new flower shop Ino mentioned was actually opened by the teacher~"
"This is something I opened with Xiaochun, and it's been less than a month."
"Yeah, but~" Sakura looked at the sign hanging at the door, "Four Seasons Flower Shop? It always feels a bit weird."
"How could that be? I've been thinking about the name for a long time." Shuimu said. When it comes to flowers, Shuimu can't help but think of the Lord of Four Seasons Flowers, so he came up with such a strange name. Unlike the hand-made uncle's Ichiraku Ramen, the Yamanaka family's Yamanaka Flower Shop. "Although it's a rare type, it feels good, right?"
"Ah." Sakura observed the sign with a puzzled look, "There are some strange patterns on this sign. Although it looks beautiful, there seems to be something wrong. There is also a little bit of chakra fluctuation~"
"Stop talking. I'll tell you the details later. Don't tell Xiaochun." Shuimu looked as if he had seen a ghost.
That's right, Mizuki had tampered with the sign without telling anyone. Over the past few days, there had been many powerful ninjas visiting the store, but no one had noticed the problem, which was actually seen through by a Genin.
This signboard can be said to be one of Shuimu's proudest achievements in the past few months. It was completed not long ago. First of all, the material of the signboard is a specially cultivated bamboo as the base material, and it is carefully made by hand. The layer of green and blue paint on it is actually a mixture of fungi and algae extracted from lichens. As a means of removing most of the active organisms and retaining the most basic survival ability, it is then sealed and has illusion barrier patterns that are faintly visible in the frame and materials. With the extremely weak collective will of the lichens covering the entire signboard, a signboard with its own illusion was made. It has no special function, it is just a psychological hint that will make people who see the sign want to go into the store and take a look.
The most troublesome step is to gather the will of lower organisms to refine chakra. In order to find a suitable mother body, Shuimu finally chose lichen. As a group of organisms that are symbiotic with fungi, bacteria and algae, it has complex properties. Shuimu has not found a more suitable organism than lichen.
Although the power provided is insignificant at present, it opens up a wider space for Shuimu. Through the sealing technique, the integration of thinking is feasible, or in other words, this world recognizes the existence of this creature. In this way, many things envisioned in the theory can be realized as long as the ability is reached.
"No wonder Orochimaru can't perform corpse reanimation. It only causes mental and spiritual weakness, but never has self-perception deviation. And the forbidden summoning technique of Impure World Reincarnation can be used repeatedly on the same person. The theory that the shadow clone has memory transmission also makes sense. And it is also logical that the summoning technique identifies the pseudo-jinchūriki and himself as the same person."
