In a small training ground in Konoha, Mizuki sat leisurely on a tree trunk, hiding in the shade to avoid the scorching sun.

In a small river not far away, Sakura in red was fighting with a short figure. Many parts of the girl's clothes were soaked with sweat, and her cherry blossom-colored hair was stuck to her smooth forehead by sweat, no longer as elegant and beautiful as before.

"It's about time!"

Mizuki looked at the sky and felt that the pseudo-jinchuriki's chakra was almost exhausted.

Sure enough, after a while, the two people fighting stopped and walked towards Shuimu's direction.

"How do you feel?" Mizuki asked Haruno Sakura who was sitting on the ground exhausted.

Sakura took a sip of water and replied, "I feel a little tired, but otherwise I'm fine."

"What about you?" Mizuki turned to the pseudo-jinchūriki and asked, "How is the consumption?"

"It's so-so. Currently my own chakra is barely enough to support a Genin-level battle."

"It's great to be able to recover to this level in less than a week."

"Teacher Mizuki, who is this person, or what is this person?" Haruno Sakura, who had long been puzzled by the existence of pseudo-jinchūriki, could not help but ask.

"Originally, it's still too early for you to tell this, but since you asked, I'll reluctantly tell you." Mizuki decided to reveal a little to Haruno Sakura.

"This is an application of the Shadow Clone Technique."

"The Shadow Clone Jutsu? The one Naruto used?"

"Yes."

"But doesn't the Shadow Clone Technique have a time limit? And it will collapse and disappear if attacked?" Sakura asked confusedly.

Sakura had seen Naruto's Shadow Clone Technique many times, but it didn't make sense that he could last for so long. Moreover, Sakura had hit the pseudo-jinchuriki once or twice just now, but the opponent did not disappear like the Shadow Clone Technique, and continued to fight vigorously for a long time.

"Good observation, but the one in front of you is a real flesh and blood body, not a shadow clone simulated by chakra."

"Flesh and blood? How is this possible? Can chakra do such a thing?" Sakura said in surprise.

"Everything is possible. It's impossible to do it under normal circumstances, but the sealing technique is possible." In order to boost Sakura's confidence in the sealing technique, it's okay to brag a little. Anyway, I'm not telling any lies.

"That's really amazing, but Mr. Mizuki, can I learn it?" Sakura said enviously.

"It's difficult now, and it's hard to say in the future. After all, there are so many things to learn."

Mizuki didn't expect to teach Sakura much. Before Tsunade came back, it was impossible for Sakura to configure an all-purpose potion from scratch. There was too much pre-knowledge required, and it would take at least a year and a half to master it.

However, Mizuki was very satisfied with Haruno Sakura's progress. For small things like walking on water, she could learn it after Mizuki demonstrated it once or twice. The chakra scalpel was also progressing well. Although it could not be retracted and released freely, its power was already considerable. The palm fairy technique was more difficult and required time to practice, but Mizuki could not provide any practice materials, so she could only take it slowly.

Next, Mizuki plans to strengthen Sakura's illusion ability and resistance appropriately, but he can only do this for now as he also needs actual combat to improve his overall strength.

One month is indeed a bit tight, and as for the most important sealing technique, I can only teach you some simple and practical tricks first. After all, the Chunin Exam is just around the corner.

To be honest, Sakura's talent is amazing to have reached this level in just one week. Fortunately, I have enough skills, and most people can't really teach her much.

Just as Mizuki was getting ready to start his afternoon classes after a good rest, an ANBU suddenly appeared.

"Chunin Mizuki, this is the Sandaime's emergency call for duty, please follow me~"

"Okay." Mizuki said to the pseudo-jinchuriki, "I'll leave the afternoon training to you."

Then he turned to Sakura and said, "If I am not back after finishing today's class, you can go home on your own and meet at the flower shop tomorrow."

Without waiting for a response, he left with the Anbu.

As they sped along, Mizuki quickly caught up with the Anbu and asked, "What is the order about?"

"I'm not very clear about the details, but just now Moonlight Gale was carried back here seriously injured and on the verge of death."

"Moonlight Wind?" Shuimu's heart couldn't help but tighten.

"It seems that he still couldn't escape this disaster, but he didn't die on the spot, which means he can still be saved?"

Even though Shuimu was mentally prepared, what he saw was still shocking.

I saw that Yueguang Gale's clothes were all stained with blood, and his body was covered with red and black blood scabs. He was not much better than the injured Mizuki of Wave Country. From the torn traces of his clothes, one could imagine how fierce the battle was at that time.

The blood on his face had been wiped clean, revealing his bloodless skin. There was no sign of life at all. His hair was unexpectedly long, but except for a portion at the end which was a healthy black, most of it was a grayish-white color that looked decadent and old.

Seeing this, Shuimu roughly understood what was going on.

"It seems you understand now." The third generation beside him asked, "Did you find anything?"

Shuimu shook his head. This was obviously the result of using too many omnipotent potions.

"It's a blessing that I'm not dead even though my vitality has been overdrawn to this extent." Shuimu said regretfully.

"I know that too." Sandai said with a look of regret, "Seeing this reminds me of how you were carried back here more than a month ago. I underestimated the strength of our enemy."

An Anbu nearby said, "Don't blame yourself, Sandaime-sama. This is the fate of ninjas."

"Fate?" The third generation sighed.

Mizuki turned his head and took a look.

"Is it Uzuki Yugao? She's a very familiar face. Even with the mask on, this feature is too easy to recognize. Are you here to take one last look at your lover?"

"Given Moonlight Gale's stealth and reconnaissance abilities, it's incredible that he was discovered. It seems that he must have discovered some unexpected intelligence and had to be silenced in the end."

Mizuki has a rough idea of ​​the strength of Moonlight Gale. In a face-to-face duel, Mizuki has little chance of winning, as the swordsmanship master has too much advantage in the confrontation. Without overwhelming strength, it is difficult to be killed in one blow, not to mention that you can't even run away. The original animation once mentioned that Moonlight Gale had an inexplicable escape, but Mizuki had never seen it, nor heard people around him talk about it, so he must not have it. But his concealment and reconnaissance skills are really amazing, and he also has Konoha-style swordsmanship. After using Mizuki's potion once in the Land of Waves, his physical condition has greatly improved. In addition to the desperate killer that he left for him, Moonlight Gale, who has already used it once, should be familiar with it. Being able to save his life from Maki and Kabuto Yakushi is already a good result.
