Large summoning beasts are still very useful, and we cannot expect everyone to be able to use the tailed beast chakra.

Tailed Beast Transformation is a high-level combat stance that only a few people can use, and Sage Mode has even higher requirements for qualifications.

It is difficult for ordinary ninjas without inheritance to find a useful summoning beast.

Mizuki didn't take Hata-kun seriously at first, but those clones might use this power, and Xiaochun and his disciple Haruno Sakura might also need the help of the summoned beasts.

The giant bear was originally intended to be caught for meat, and steamed bear paws are also a delicious delicacy, but now there is no need to waste them.

…

The weather began to warm up, and the various departments of Konoha gradually got back on track. The ninjas returned to work from their vacations, and the busy new year was about to begin.

The climate of the Land of Fire can be considered to be favorable, with few extreme natural disasters. Therefore, the Land of Fire, which occupies a rich land, is the strongest and most coveted in the ninja world.

The cold winter has passed, and it is spring again. The temperature in Konoha Village is warming up quickly, and people who come here are scrambling to get a first-hand advantage in this place full of hope.

The vibrant atmosphere continues to infect everyone in the village, making this village favored by the world always full of upward vitality.

In the good atmosphere, Uchiha Sasuke, who had rested for nearly a month, finally recovered to normal. Although he still felt weak after recovering from a serious injury, it no longer affected the chakra and combat power in his body.

Since the Uchiha clan was exterminated, Sasuke, whose mind was filled with hatred for Uchiha Itachi, thought about a serious problem so seriously for the first time.

When you are alone and quietly thinking about the choice between life and death, and when you learn that you have an incurable disease but are told that you can gamble the rest of your life on a tiny chance of survival, should you live out the rest of your life in a miserable state or take a risk? This is an extremely torturous spiritual torture.

Sometimes, Sasuke even had the thought that Kakashi and Mizuki had teamed up to deceive him, but fortunately he quickly drove this distracting thought out of his mind.

Every time I can’t sleep until late at night, I feel that I have made up my mind, but when I see the sunshine outside in the morning, I begin to doubt my decision last night.

I used to think that I had completely become indifferent to life and death, but when I truly faced the decision of death, I realized how ridiculous those so-called enlightenments were.

Whenever he felt uneasy, Sasuke would go outside to relax.

Sasuke used to spend his free time practicing and resting. When he had the rare chance to calm down, he would unconsciously recall his past life when he saw other people living happily together.

"Is it because I don't have enough energy, so I'm not strong enough?"

Itachi Uchiha's sarcasm was like a needle, always piercing his heart and never diminishing his desire for hatred.

"Death is so unbearable, so the guy who took the life of a loved one must never be let off!"

The torment during this period was even more impressive than facing danger or even the threat of death in battle. The choice between lightning and fire tested one's own strength and fighting instinct. It took nearly a month for me to truly realize how heavy my inner choice was.

When the last bit of snow melted away, Sasuke, who had been hesitating for many days, finally made up his mind. He came to the security department early in the morning and pushed open the door of Kakashi Hatake's office.

At this time, Kakashi and Mizuki were discussing some arrangements for the Chunin Exam. After hearing the noise, they both turned their heads to look at Sasuke, who looked a little haggard.

"How rude! You don't even know to knock before entering? Young people nowadays..."

Mizuki had sensed the arrival of the familiar chakra a long time ago, but he didn't expect Sasuke to be so anxious. Judging from his expression, he must have spent a lot of time thinking about it during this period.

"I am being rude."

Sasuke said.

"I've thought clearly about the problem I had some time ago. Improving my strength is what I need. I want to take a risk and give it a try."

"Really?"

Mizuki smiled slightly and turned to Kakashi.

"I'll leave Sasuke to you for now. Bring him to the hospital to see me when the time comes. As for the security issues of the Chunin Exam, please submit the plan to Lady Tsunade according to the previous arrangements. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

The Chunin Exam is just a few days away, and I have to make arrangements for my students. There is also a temporary team member, Rock Lee. As the team leader, I must go over to check out the situation and give him some appropriate advice.

Mizuki walked out slowly and patted Sasuke on the shoulder as they passed each other.

"See you later, and don't be nervous then!"

Sasuke frowned slightly and watched Mizuki push the door and walk out.

"Mr. Mizuki doesn't seem too surprised by my choice..."

"How come?"

Kakashi smiled awkwardly.

"Maybe he's too busy! Let's not talk about that. Find a place to have a good rest and wait in the hospital before dinner."

"Are you ready?"

"Of course, no matter what your decision is, after Shuimu takes action, you will have to stay in the hospital for a few days. It's just the right place."

…

As night fell, street lights on Konoha's main roads and important locations began to light up one after another. Street vendors also hung up beautiful lanterns and continued to do business on this still relatively cold night.

Sasuke arrived at Konoha Hospital as promised with a heavy mood. Kakashi and Mizuki were already waiting there.

To Sasuke's surprise, he thought Mizuki, who had his life in his hands, would be more cautious, but he didn't expect that he was eating dumplings with Kakashi at this time.

"Have you had dinner yet?"

"No!" Sasuke shook his head.

"Would you like some? These desserts are not quite to my taste..."

"No!"

"Then wait a moment. I'm a little hungry. Let's talk after I'm full."

Under Sasuke's complicated gaze, Mizuki and Kakashi ate and talked slowly, and it took them a long time to finish their meal leisurely.

"Okay, let's go."

Mizuki walked in front, followed by Sasuke and Kakashi, and they came to the seldom-used intensive care unit on the top floor. The furnishings inside had been cleaned up and it looked extremely empty.

"No more nonsense, young man, wish me good luck!"

"Why do you say that?"

Mizuki grinned.

"You can only have good luck if I'm lucky. If my hand shakes accidentally, your good luck will be useless..."

Well, for the first time, Sasuke felt that he had entrusted his life to the wrong person, but it was too late to turn back now...
