Mizuki didn't care much about the first two rounds of the Chunin Exam, but he still had to show up for the third exam in public.

At the exam venue, Shuimu looked around and saw that almost all the familiar faces who were available had arrived. It was a rare event anyway, and the ninja world didn't have many ways to relax, so this kind of lively scene was generally not missed.

Kankuro and Temari were both in the stands observing how their former rivals performed over a year later, with the examiner of the first written exam, Nara Shikamaru, accompanying the two young allies.

In comparison, the older Sand Ninja siblings are indeed a little stronger. Their bodies have already entered the developmental period, and they have entered the age period of rapid strength improvement earlier than the Konoha Genin who are two or three years younger.

However, no matter how outstanding they are, they are still just teenagers, and it is more appropriate for them to interact with people of the same age.

This Chunin Exam was not as formal as last year, so Tsunade did not come to watch the competition, and only planned to give a few words of encouragement before the final results were announced. The specific matters were basically handed over to the chief examiner on site and the security department responsible for security.

Mizuki took a rough look at the game off the field. These Genin are indeed much stronger than before. They are qualified to be promoted to Chunin. If nothing unexpected happens, adhering to the purpose of expanding their strength, they will inevitably qualify as Chunin.

So Shuimu, who was clear about what was going on, focused most of his attention on chatting with people around him.

"Ebisu, those little guys shouting over there are your students this year, right?"

"yes!"

Ebisu turned his head and looked at the Konohamaru trio standing in the front row.

"The grandson of the third generation master, the other two also have rare talents!"

"You, who believe in the concept of elites, have also begun to become a team leader. What a big change!"

In the past, Ebisu was full of sectarianism and would not take on the role of a thankless teacher.

"I am not a stubborn and ignorant person. Besides, elite and universal values ​​are not in conflict. Just like you, which category should you be classified into?"

"As expected of a teacher, you are so convincing."

Mizuki shrugged.

"Let's put aside the discussion about the Ninja Way for now, Ebisu. I heard that the Ninja School intends to increase the pass rate. Combined with the current situation of the Chunin Exam, it reminds me of the years when we graduated..."

"War?"

Ebisu sighed helplessly.

When Mizuki and Ebisu graduated from the Ninja Academy at the age of twelve or thirteen, they happened to encounter the Third Ninja War.

At that time, every ninja, even a child, had the potential to go to the battlefield.

"We hope for peace, but we are not afraid of challenges!"

The Anbu launched frequent attacks, and the two former deputy chiefs of the Security Department, Hatake Kakashi and Mizuki, led their subordinates to wipe out the rebellious and fickle neutral forces many times. Anyone with a little insight knows that the next few years may not be peaceful.

"Don't be so serious, Ebisu. Like you said, we are strong, the strongest in the ninja world, and we won't be afraid of anyone in the future. But right now, we don't need a ninja teacher to charge into battle."

Mizuki smiled and stood up.

"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first!"

"Um!"

Ebisu nodded.

"I remember you seemed to be the person in charge of the on-site security mission. Are you leaving just like that?"

"The people in the security department are very capable! Besides, I'm just the person in charge. How can a leader always stay on the front line?"

Is a leader who leads by example still a leader? Being a hands-off manager at ordinary times and occasionally coming to give suggestions is what Shuimu should do.

…

Mizuki left the Chunin Exam venue and came to the basement laboratory, looking at the blond young man lying on the laboratory table.

"Done?"

"Yes. There are no super cells implanted, only chakra modulation during cultivation. The physique of the Uzumaki family is indeed enviable, and their vitality is extremely strong. Even after a complete cloning, there is still plenty of vitality."

"So, 'Sandstorm Naruto' is ready, right?"

Mizuki reached out and carefully examined this first clone. The blank container that was originally used to hold the little Shukaku had to be used for something else.

Shukaku-chan couldn't simply seal the chakra of the other tailed beasts that Mizuki had collected.

If Minato Namikaze used the Death Blade to divide Kurama into Yin-Yang Nine-Tails in terms of quality, Mizuki used the Death Blade to divide the One-Tails into Big and Small Shukaku in terms of quantity. The means and purposes are different, but the results are very similar.

Although the little Shukaku is weak, it is also a beast with complete authority.

Now, after careful consideration, Shuimu decided to officially activate him.

Sakura has been practicing the Tailed Beast Chakra Control for some time, but still hasn't achieved the results that Mizuki needs. Instead of waiting, she might as well study carefully what the Jinchūriki is all about.

If you don't experience it yourself, you really don't understand what the secret is. If the tailed beast is sealed into the ninja's body, why is it that the Jinchūriki will die after being stripped away?

The Ten-Tails Jinchuriki will fundamentally change his life form and become an almost immortal being. Why does this result occur?

What exactly changed when the nine tailed beasts formed by the Ten Tails were sealed in the bodies of nearby ninjas?

These questions cannot be answered by studying hard or working behind closed doors. Since I have the conditions, there is no harm in experimenting.

Mizuki skillfully placed a curse seal on the shell, and after it stabilized, he used the illusion of playing with sleep to cover the curse seal and the head of the container shell, avoiding the tailed beast sealed in its abdomen.

Not long after, the young man with long golden hair opened his eyes, revealing azure pupils.

"Why avoid the tailed beast? Even if Xishuixiang pulls it into the illusion space, you should be able to tame it. If not, we can help you!"

Shen was somewhat puzzled by Shuimu's behavior.

"Take it step by step. Experience each stage. Once it is stable, then tame the little Shukaku."

"Okay, whatever you want!"

It is obvious that the task can be completed in one step, but it is taken in several steps, although in the end the difference is not much.

The blond young man stood up, his long hair flying over his shoulders. He raised his hands and looked at them, then asked hesitantly.

"What should my name be?"

“I haven’t decided yet.”

Shuimu really didn't have time to think about this matter carefully.

"Just Takuma?"

"The devil's son who came back from the dead? Well, I like this name!"

The newly born Takuma stood up and reached out to touch the Bagua seal on his abdomen that sealed the little Shukaku.

"At least I don't feel any different from the Jinchūriki now."

"No accidents is a good thing!"

The power of the little Shukaku is not as strong as the full Shukaku, but it should be enough. After it is fully adapted and can skillfully control the tailed beast chakra, we can see if we can use the tailed beast mode...
