It was not until they left the Kingdom of Wind and passed Kikyoyama Castle that Mizuki's real body replaced his physical clone.

During these days, Mizuki's occasional visits to the Kingdom of Wind were also secret. Apart from communicating with Tenzang and Sasuke, he basically never revealed his true appearance in front of others.

After this period of rest, Shuimu finally recovered the broken arm of his right hand, and the wounds caused by the black stick also healed. This way, he no longer had to hide from others. If he dragged the broken arm back, it would be bad to make Xiaochun worry.

"Mr. Mizuki, you seem to give people a different feeling?"

Although the external injuries have healed, it will still take some time to fully recover.

He lost too much blood and it would take more than a few days to recover. His complexion was indeed a little paler than before.

"I used to feel a sense of oppression when walking next to Mr. Mizuki, but now it seems to be a little more peaceful."

Inuzuka Kiba scratched his head, not knowing how to express his feelings, but Aburame Shino said something interesting.

"Insects have the sharpest intuition. The domineering aura of Mizuki-sensei is gone."

Mizuki smiled as she didn't expect Aburame Shino to say this.

"That's because you've gotten used to it after you get to know me!"

“Maybe!”

Intuition is something that is hard to explain.

Shuimu also realized that the change from being aggressive to keeping a low profile is not only a difference in actions, but more of a change in mentality.

After the adjustment, the power system of the body will be more stable, and the involuntary deterrence when multiple powers coexist will be much less. After the mental problems are healed, Shuimu, who has regained his super control, will usher in another sublimation.

Mizuki could actually take the three students back to Konoha Village, but that was meaningless. He was not a coachman, and doing such a thing would only affect the scheduled itinerary. Minato Namikaze's Flying Thunder God Technique was so powerful, but he didn't fly around with his three students. Some things could not be relied on, and had to be experienced by oneself.

After returning, Mizuki will arrange training plans for these three students according to the previous plan, especially Hyuga Hinata and Inuzuka Kiba. It will be embarrassing if they fail the Chunin Exam again.

Tenzang and Sasuke, who were still following far behind, did not take the initiative to come forward to negotiate. After all, no matter how familiar they were, they were still Anbu members.

…

After walking slowly for four or five days, the group finally returned to Konoha Village safely.

One year was enough for Konoha Village to recover from the trauma of last year's war. Compared to this time last year, the only difference might be that there were more security guards on duty wearing armbands on the streets.

Every time Mizuki came back from a mission, he didn't want to face Tsunade. He felt a little uncomfortable knowing something but having to pretend to be ignorant.

"Shino, Hinata, Kiba, you three are dismissed. I will submit the mission report. Take a rest for a few days. The Chunin exam is coming soon. You can also go and take a look. You may find unexpected gains."

After giving the instructions, Mizuki reluctantly came to the Hokage's office.

After a while, Tsunade finished reading the detailed mission report submitted by Mizuki.

"Was Orochimaru repelled?"

Manda was nearly beaten to death, and Orochimaru took advantage of Mizuki's poor control to escape in the chaos. Although it was a bit regrettable, Tsunade also understood that Orochimaru, who had many cards up his sleeve, would not be killed so easily.

"That's it. I know what's going on."

Combined with the report submitted by Tenzang, we can basically judge Orochimaru's condition and combat power, and of course, Mizuki's as well.

After hearing Tsunade's words, Mizuki felt relieved, which was a reluctant acknowledgement that his mission was accomplished. Although he didn't do anything to Orochimaru, but with the unexpected victory of Deidara, and the unknown enemy with Sharingan being seriously injured by Mizuki, no matter how you look at it, this dedication and diligence is still good.

"The report mentioned that your hand was badly injured. Are you okay now?"

"It's not a big deal anymore, but I'm not as flexible as before."

The new organization that was quickly created is definitely not as useful as the previous one. It will take some time for it to recover.

There is also the glove on the right hand. The arm turned into ashes in the flames, and the weapon made of rare metal was also melted into a ball. It may need to be re-smelted and remade. This gift that Xiaochun gave to himself for promotion to Jonin was unexpectedly damaged in half here. I don’t know if it can be repaired.

Tsunade nodded.

"I almost forgot that you're also an excellent medical ninja and potion master."

For those who can master cloning technology, although it is a little troublesome to regenerate severed limbs, the treatment method can be solved without Tsunade's intervention.

"You should leave first. You haven't been home for a long time. I'll give you three days off..."

"Thank you!"

…

Watching Mizuki leave, Tsunade took out Tenzo's report and compared the two, then looked embarrassed.

The impact of killing Deidara was not that great. They were already at odds with the Iwagakure Village, so no one could say anything about killing a rebel. This time, the Konoha ninja did not capture him again, but he died in self-destruction. There was no reason for Ohnoki to vent his anger on the Konoha Village.

"One-tail, Seven-tail, and Five-tail, how many hidden secrets are there that have not been exposed? What on earth do you want to do by collecting so much chakra of the tailed beasts?"

The Akatsuki organization attacked the Iwagakure Village, and the Five-Tails' defection caused a lot of controversy. Since Mizuki had obtained the Five-Tails' chakra, he must have been one of those who took advantage of the situation.

There was no news of any unusual people appearing in the Hidden Rock Village, and no one asked about the Leaf Village, which showed that Mizuki was indeed very secretive and was not discovered by Ōnoki and the Iwagakure ninja. This was something Tsunade was thankful for.

Compared to the dissatisfaction caused by Mizuki's concealment of this information, Tsunade was more concerned about whether Mizuki had ever fought with the Rinnegan; whether he knew some secrets, which made him decide to conceal these things.

"Are they really the three children that Jiraiya took in back then? What should we do if Akatsuki is involved with Konoha? What will Jiraiya say?"

It is not uncommon for masters and apprentices to kill each other in the ninja world. The recent ones include Orochimaru killing the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Six-Tails Jinchuriki Yutaka killing his master and defecting, the unknown Uchiha Obito killing Namikaze Minato, and Jiraiya being killed by Nagato in the original work.

The success rate of the inferior defeating the superior, especially the master-killing, is quite high. Although Jiraiya is very strong, he has the Samsara Eye, and even the battle-hardened Ohnoki suffered a loss...
