After finishing some mundane tasks, Mizuki realized that his status and position had reached the point where people were afraid of him and felt helpless. However, he had no preparation or experience in this regard. It was okay when he got along with his former ninja colleagues, but there were indeed some incompatibilities when interacting with strangers.

"I have been immersed in my own world for too long. Apart from the necessary interactions with some acquaintances, as my strength and reputation have increased, have my original eloquence and social skills gradually deteriorated?"

Because it is not important, we don't care about it, and gradually we become unfamiliar with it. The saying "use it or lose it" does not apply to biological evolution and growth, but it is still crucial in areas where experience is needed.

In a pretty good mood, Shuimu opened the door of his home.

At this time last year, Shuimu and Xiaochun were just two people, but this year they have become a family of three. In a few months, the child will be babbling.

"You're back?"

It's much warmer inside the house than outside. I don't want to go out after staying inside for a long time.

"Well, has anyone been here today?"

"Iruka, Gekkou Hayate, and Miss Yugao have been here, and they brought a lot of gifts."

"Then you take care of it. You should also go and say hello when you have time."

Mizuki hung up his dusty coat.

"Thank you for your help."

Although I have a physical clone to help me take care of my daughter, it is not as good as experiencing her growth in person. I have to take care of the security department while taking care of the housework, and sometimes I can't do both.

It is normal for the deputy director of the security department to be out for a week or two when he is busy. Even if there is no important task, there are all kinds of troubles to deal with. There are no big things, but there are always small problems. Even the barrier of the Death Forest that Mizuki set up last year, because it was close to the Chunin Exam, after changing some people, there were always various accidents that Mizuki had to deal with. Although Mizuki was lazy occasionally, there were too many chores and the things he was responsible for far exceeded the scope of the duties of the deputy director of the security department.

But this is not surprising. The position does not affect the tasks assigned to him. He used to be a teacher in the ninja school and had also carried out the task of retrieving confidential documents. That's why the case of killing a disabled companion occurred, which dug a big hole for Mizuki who came through.

"It's my request to go out to work, and there's nothing wrong with that. This way I can feel like a ninja. Otherwise, it would be a shame to waste nearly twenty years of learning ninjutsu."

"As long as you are happy."

Generally speaking, Xiaochun's qualifications are slightly better than Shuimu's.

Mizuki benefits from his gender advantage, and his body and chakra are outstanding. Before the original Mizuki's soul was stripped, Mizuki's spiritual power was much stronger than that of ordinary ninjas. Although the quality is not excellent, the quantity is considerable. After all, combined with the experience of two lives, Mizuki's knowledge and strong knowledge far exceed the natives of the ninja world. The direct benefit brought by this is the improvement of perception ability and the sharpness of mental power, which brings many advantages to himself in training chakra control.

Xiaochun's strengths are very obvious. She has a good mind and quick thinking, so she has a very solid foundation in sealing techniques and barrier techniques. The most rare thing is that her talent in changing and integrating the properties of chakra makes Shuimu extremely envious. People who are born to be close to and able to master the essence of chakra will have a good future if they take the path of ninjutsu development.

Unfortunately, it is still too difficult to find someone with perfect complementary talents. As a female ninja, her chakra amount is at a disadvantage, so her ninjutsu path is halfway cut off; her fine control ability is still a problem. After practicing the breath-holding technique for a year and a half, she is not even as good as Sakura, who just started the practice more than a year ago. It is only slightly better than the previous ninjutsu when she had to rest for half a day. Like Mizuki, as long as she does not use the Senjutsu Thousand Summoning Order with all her strength, she basically has no worries about the day when her chakra amount will be reduced. It is not easy to train chakra control. The higher you go, the more time you spend. If you don't have the talent in this area, it is more practical to change your path.

Due to poor control ability, chakra modes such as Lightning Release Armor are ruled out. It is really difficult to find a development direction that suits Xiaochun's expertise. Since it is difficult to break through her own shackles, it seems that she can only seek external forces. The most effective of these is of course the power of the tailed beasts. The next best thing is summoning techniques.

There has been no conclusive discovery about the power of the tailed beasts for the time being, and he does not have any inheritance like the three major summoning beast sanctuaries. For the time being, he can only think of other ways.

We can talk about Xiaochun's ninja development arrangements later. It's better to spend today relaxing with my family.

"Mizuki, it's obviously me who has taken care of Miyuki-chan longer and has worked much harder than you, so why does she still like you more?"

After Xiao Meixing was born, except for the first month which was quite difficult, the rest of the time was relatively quiet. During normal working hours, both of them were quite busy, so Xiaochun's physical clone took care of her more.

"Maybe it's because they have two identical mothers that she can't tell them apart. Try not to let her see your real body and your clone at the same time in the future."

Mizuki said with a smile.

"Also, all you do is feed her and coax her to sleep, while I always take her out to play."

With her nagging mother and her father who often takes her out to see new things, Mizuki holds a more important position in Xiao Miyuki's heart, at least for now.

"I'll take her out to play from now on."

"You want to fight for this?"

I didn't expect Xiaochun to be so serious about this matter.

…

Asuma Sarutobi invites Mizuki and Might Guy to eat BBQ at Yakiniku Q, a high-end restaurant that they haven't visited for a long time.

"As expected of a family member, Asuma, you are really rich!"

Mizuki is not very keen on food, but Might Guy has a good appetite and can't fill his stomach with a pile of high-quality meat slices.

"No, I used my mission commission."

The bearded man grimaced.

"Kai, take it easy. This is my savings that I have worked so hard to save."

A month's salary may not be enough to spend on a meal here.

Asuma looked at Might Guy and Mizuki with some heartache.

"Do you have any opinions on the reorganization of the team?"

The two remaining students of Might Guy were separated, Tenten joined Class 10, and Rock Lee joined Class 8.

"That's it. Whoever fails will be thrown into the Wind Kingdom and eat sand in half a year."

The three Genin teams, the strongest leaders have been promoted. In contrast, Tenten is experienced and well-rounded; Inuzuka Kiba has the ambition to be the leader.

Although each team has its shortcomings, as long as they do not face off directly in the early stages of the Chunin Exam, the strength of the teams will no longer matter by the third individual competition.
