The test from the Sand Village was just a trivial episode. If Mizuki wanted to help the Sand Village, he had to hand over old lady Chiyo's reincarnation technique first. Mizuki had long been drooling over this magical medical ninjutsu that could exchange life for life, and even give life to inanimate objects.

If this condition is met, maybe Mizuki will be in a good mood and help them. Now, allies are allies. If you want to talk about feelings, go to Tsunade. The soldiers below have to support their families. Who will work for you without benefits?

Later on, there were no blind guys coming to Shuimu's place to bother him. After eating and drinking his fill and taking some things, Shuimu slipped away without saying a word. Shuimu didn't want to stay in such a boring place any longer. If it wasn't for completing the task, Shuimu would not have come here at all. It was much more comfortable to stay at home and eat the food prepared by Xiaochun.

On the way out, Mizuki unexpectedly ran into Hatake Kakashi who was also running away.

"Hey, Shuimu, are you out to admire the moon too?"

Mizuki looked at Hatake Kakashi who was grinning. This guy who was so shameless as to want to escape and talk nonsense was really shameless. The sky was covered with dark clouds, and not even a star could be seen. What a ridiculous moon.

"If you want to leave, just leave. Don't dawdle!"

There are many ninjas who don't like this kind of occasion. Just leave if you want to. Just be careful and give Tsunade some face. Why care so much?

Mizuki walked away first, and Kakashi behind him hesitated for a moment, but finally followed.

"You're getting more and more daring. Lady Tsunade is going to be angry again."

"Just say a few nice words to me, just say that Xiaochun is not feeling well and I need to go back to take care of her."

"It's really convenient for people with families. They can come up with excuses right away."

Mizuki glanced at Kakashi who was alone beside him.

"If you are jealous, find a girlfriend, don't complain about it!"

"It's not that easy!" Kakashi said with a bitter face.

It is rare for childhood sweethearts to stay together until the end. In addition to being robbed of their love by various unexpected men, female ninjas have to go through many tests. If they really want to start a family, it often means quitting the front line of ninja, which is something many female ninjas are unwilling to accept.

It's not impossible to find a commoner woman. Matching someone of equal social status is not a golden rule, but Qi Dafeiou's concerns are not unreasonable.

There are always various barriers between a ninja and a civilian woman. How many women can understand the difficulties of a ninja? Going through life and death in a mission, or even being away for a long time, will always lead to some misunderstandings. Only female ninjas of the same kind will understand and support each other.

As for Hatake Kakashi, the problem is even more complicated. Not only is he involved in a love triangle with his childhood sweetheart and his friend, but in the end the other two also died. There is really no hope at all now.

It's rare to see someone as lucky as Mizuki. Oh, I forgot another winner in life, that is Asuma Sarutobi. But there's nothing he can do about it. He has a powerful father, comes from a big family, and his father is the legendary strongest Hokage. It's only natural that he can pick up girls. His classmates with the same conditions are all single, which is very telling.

Thinking that Kakashi Hatake will be single for a long time in the future, Mizuki felt a sense of superiority.

"Since you have nothing to do, why are you sneaking away?"

If you want to be a Hokage in the future, how can you socialize without studying hard? Being lazy is not an option.

"That Mizukage seems a little too enthusiastic. It's a little hard to handle!"

"Oh?" Mizuki was very interested in these gossips. "I heard that the Fifth Mizukage is not even thirty years old yet."

It is unknown how old he is exactly, but he should be younger than Shizune and about the same age as Mizuki, which means he is indeed the same age as Kakashi.

"Please spare me. I feel like you are just watching the fun."

Even with the mask covering most of his face, it couldn't hide his wry smile.

Mizuki shrugged and said nonchalantly, "Only a few people have seen your true face. Have you ever shown your face to that beautiful Mizukage?"

Objectively speaking, Kakashi is indeed a rare handsome man among the Konoha ninjas. There is a reason why Nohara Rin chose Hatake Kakashi and gave up Uchiha Obito.

"You talk as if you've seen it!"

At the beginning, Kakashi did not intend to hide his true face, but as he met fewer people later, he gradually paid more attention to this. Facial features are also very important information for ninjas, and they might come in handy someday.

“I’ve seen it before!”

"Huh?" Kakashi said in surprise, "I haven't shown my face much recently."

"There is always a time when you are not paying attention."

Shuimu couldn't say that he had seen him in a previous life, so he could only explain it vaguely.

"Really?" Kakashi didn't pay too much attention to it and put the question aside. "Did someone from the Sand Village come to see you?"

"Well, did I look for you too?"

Mizuki didn't hide anything and just said it straight out.

Kakashi nodded.

"The Kazekage of Sand Village has not been chosen yet, and many people have other ideas. It seems that some people are seeking external support to seize the position of Kazekage."

"These guys are really short-sighted and useless."

Mizuki smiled disdainfully. The broken Sand Village was not thinking about uniting to overcome the difficulties, but was arguing among itself. It was really laughable. If it weren't for the protection of Konoha Village, the Iwagakure Village, which was eyeing them covetously, would have been unable to restrain its desire to make a move long ago.

Chiyo and Ebizo have been holding the Sand Village for too long. The losses over the past six months have been so great. If the Fourth Kazekage Rasa is still excusable because of the failure of his adventure, Chiyo repeatedly mixes personal emotions with major actions in the village, which makes many people dissatisfied. For the sake of a Scorpion, two jonins died, one of whom was a jonin who was proficient in sealing techniques. It is really chilling that no one took responsibility for such a huge loss.

This time, the fight for the position of the Fifth Kazekage is the concentrated manifestation of its internal conflicts.

Of course, one of the reasons is that there are some external black hands who are unwilling to be left out and fan the flames.

The position of Kazekage is still undecided, and there are many different opinions on the treatment and status of Gaara, the One-Tailed Jinchūriki. In the final analysis, the qualification of Jinchūriki is a problem that every ninja village has to face. There are still too few people who can perfectly control the tailed beasts. Therefore, the importance of the Uzumaki family's bloodline is even more prominent.

"Lady Tsunade must understand that interfering in the internal affairs of the Sand Village is too risky..."
