Mizuki would certainly not miss the opportunity to break up Team 7 and embarrass Danzo. That smiling blond boy was really unpredictable, so it would be better to drive him away. Anyway, except Uzumaki Naruto, the other two were Chunins, so Yamanaka Fuu had no excuse to stay in Kakashi's team.
Chunin is not a Genin. His ability to act independently has been greatly enhanced, and his existing teams are no longer so unbreakable. He no longer needs to worry about the Chunin exam requiring a group of three.
"Done." Mizuki raised his fist and bumped it with Hatake Kakashi. The two quickly reached a consensus. "But you have to help me get Shino up. If no one in Team 8 passes, I will be too embarrassed."
Sasuke and Neji will have no problem getting promoted, but Sakura and Shino may not be able to succeed. The two are not bad in strength, but one is a female ninja who is not good at leadership, and the other is a quiet person with a weak presence. They are actually quite disadvantageous among the Chunins. If no one pushes them, it is not impossible to eliminate these two.
At this time, Asuma Sarutobi, who had just walked over to say hello, looked embarrassed. Team 10 didn't even pass the second round of Death Forest, and their face was basically lost.
"There's one more thing!" Kakashi shook his head a little embarrassedly, "Didn't Sasuke's weapon get broken by the Rasengan during the game? I thought about whether I should get him a good weapon, but I couldn't find a clue after thinking for a long time..."
"Why are you asking me about this? I don't have the habit of keeping good knives!"
Mizuki looked at Kakashi Hatake with caution, not knowing what he was up to!
Kakashi replied: "Don't you have a trophy, the March Scythe?"
Shuimu suddenly understood what was going on, "So this is what you were planning..."
That weapon was really good. A piece of the blade had been modified by Xiaochun into a special metal glove and worn by Shuimu. The Bloody Three Moons Scythe thus became the Bloody Two Moons Scythe. There were still a lot of remaining parts, which Shuimu collected for his future use. Good weapons made of this material were rare.
"I have already used part of the March Scythe, so I can't give you all the rest. I can only give you two blades at most!"
"That's enough." Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief. "I owe you one!"
"You're welcome. I'll be satisfied if you just say a few nice words to me in front of Lady Tsunade."
"You really made good use of this favor!"
Sure enough, one cannot owe favors to a cunning guy casually.
…
The noise has ended, and the next thing is to clean up the mess. Those who live nearby will disband and go home, while those who live a little further away may have to stay in Konoha Village for at least a day. It will take at least two or three days for the turmoil of the Chunin Exam to completely subside.
In addition, for the village leaders, this is also a good opportunity to demonstrate their diplomatic soft power, and take the opportunity to reach some agreements and gain some benefits.
However, for someone like Shuimu who doesn't care much about politics, it doesn't matter. In comparison, the dinner at the last party and the dishes on the table attracted Shuimu's attention more than those protracted negotiations.
Of course, the happiest ones are the Genin who are experiencing this kind of occasion for the first time. Being able to enter the third round and show their faces in public will surely ensure that their future achievements will not be too bad. It is understandable that they get in touch with some social occasions earlier.
There is no such saying as "friendship first, competition second" in the ninja world. Plots like "no fighting, no acquaintance" and "all grudges forgotten with a smile" only appear in legendary stories.
Anyway, what Shuimu saw the most were the hilarious rhetoric of the gangsters, such as glaring at each other, threatening each other, and saying when they would come back to fight each other.
There are definitely some outliers. Fu, who was dressed in bandages and had a thick plaster on her left leg, was unwilling to be lonely and came to join in the fun in a wheelchair. It's a pity that not many people are willing to have too much to do with this small ninja village and a female ninja with a not very good brain. Naturally, Fu's wish to make more friends was completely dashed.
In fact, Shuimu didn’t really want to participate in these boring activities, but since his own students were participating, he couldn’t just stand by and watch.
Hiding in an empty corner, eating the food on the table is Shuimu's job. Although the economic situation has improved during this period, it is good to save money on a meal. The table full of fish and meat will be thrown away if not eaten.
"I'll pack some food for you to take back from the space warehouse later. Frugality is a virtue. We can't waste food!"
However, Shuimu's wish to kill time was about to be dashed as a figure approached where Shuimu was.
"Mizuki Jonin..."
The person who came closer greeted him in a polite tone. Looking at his meticulous and serious expression, it was none other than Fushigi, the leader of the Sand Village.
He was dressed in a simple robe, and his temperament was somewhat similar to Hyuga Hiashi, and the arrogance of being in a superior position for a long time was overwhelming.
Shuimu stopped putting food into his mouth and asked in surprise, "Are you looking for me? What can I do for you?"
"I'm so sorry to bother you, but I've been wanting to talk to Mizuki Jonin for a long time!"
"With me?"
Mizuki found it somewhat amusing.
"I'm just an ordinary ninja from Konoha. I have nothing to do with the Sand Village, right?"
"You are too modest. After the last Chunin Exam, it was Mizuki Jonin who helped escort Gaara, but the Sand Village has never expressed gratitude!"
"Um?"
Shuimu frowned!
"What does this mean? Are you complaining that I killed Scorpion and that the Sand Village is unhappy, or are you insinuating that I did something to Gaara?"
It's been almost half a year, what's the point of bringing up the past? If you really want to use this to threaten me, then you're really making a mistake.
Seeing that Shuimu seemed a little unhappy, Fu Yi said: "Shuimu Jonin may have misunderstood. We have no other intentions. It is just a normal communication between friendly ninja villages..."
Mizuki waved his hand: "I am just a Konoha ninja who follows orders. If you want to ask me for anything, please apply for the task with the Hokage. I have no obligation and no qualifications to interfere in the affairs of other villages!"
Mizuki didn't want to get involved in such troublesome matters. Not to mention whether it was necessary or not, just because of the old lady Chiyo who hated him to the core and was determined to kill him and avenge her grandson, Scorpion, whose body was left, Mizuki gave up the idea of going to the Sand Village.
No matter what they want me to do, I can just push it to Tsunade. If Tsunade asks me to do it, it won't be too late to negotiate the terms then...
