Gongzhi has not yet come to a reasonable conclusion on how to explain this phenomenon.

If there is a supreme "king" in the ninja world who looks down on the world, what kind of existence would that be?

"Is he the creator of the eternal peace and order?"

"I'm not sure, I can only say that it's possible. Although the Sage of Six Paths is dead, his influence still exists."

Mizuki doesn't necessarily have to get to the bottom of these unknown secrets. Things that the native inhabitants of the ninja world think are commonplace and taken for granted are big problems in Mizuki's eyes. The vague sense of crisis has been lingering in his heart and cannot be shaken off.

"This is not directed at others, but at me."

Mizuki believes that he has not done anything to harm the ninja world, but it is inevitable that other people or some non-human beings think so.

"Did I touch some taboo, or is it just because of my identity - a time traveler?"

No matter who it is, even if it is Liudao who is resurrected, don't think that Shuimu will surrender.

Just as the two were discussing, Mizuki suddenly felt a familiar chakra approaching.

"That's all for today. If you find anything, tell me as soon as possible."

"Understood. I'll be leaving first then."

A moment later, there was a knock on the door in the office, which had returned to calm.

"Come in."

The door was pushed open, and in stepped Asuma Sarutobi, who hadn't been in touch much recently.

"Asuma, long time no see."

Mizuki poured two cups of tea and handed them to Asuma who was sitting opposite him, then sat down and took a sip of water to moisten his throat.

"Excuse me."

Asma casually pulled out a cigarette.

"Can I smoke this?"

"Please!"

Mizuki replied with a smile.

"But your girlfriend might be unhappy!"

“Ahem…”

Asuma smiled awkwardly and put away the lighter.

"You still love to poke fun at others as always."

"Thanks for the compliment, I'm always so honest!"

Mizuki sat up straighter.

"So, what do you want from me?"

It's working hours now, and it's impossible for Asuma Sarutobi to come and chat with Mizuki at this time.

"Well...something very troublesome happened, and it has something to do with you..."

"oh?"

Mizuki was a little surprised. It was really surprising that there was something Mizuki didn't know and that Asuma Sarutobi needed to tell him.

"During the time you were away, there were some serious disagreements in the village."

"A serious disagreement about me?"

Shuimu frowned. What was discussed behind his back was definitely not a good thing.

"Some time ago, someone wanted to intervene in the matter with the Jinchuriki of Takigakure who you rescued."

"The Seven-Tails Jinchuriki - Fu? There is really someone who dares to think so. It must be Shimura Danzo or some elders."

"That's about it."

"Then what does this have to do with me? I am just a person who completed the rescue mission. The decision on how to deal with it will naturally be up to Lady Tsunade!"

It would be ridiculous if this could get Mizuki into trouble.

Asuma Sarutobi gave a bitter smile:

"Originally it had little to do with you, but after all the arguing, one thing was brought up... Are you researching the tailed beasts?"

Shuimu asked back in a somewhat strange tone:

"From the ownership of the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki to whether or not to use the Seven-Tails, and then to how to use the Seven-Tails, this span is too big, isn't it?"

"So, this matter was prepared by someone, and you were their target from the beginning."

"Then what?"

Mizuki was curious about what Danzo was planning to do.

"Some family representatives, village elders, and high-level officials from many departments were involved. In the end, it was said that the method to utilize the tailed beasts should belong to the village."

"interesting!"

It was a bit unexpected that they had set their sights on me.

"Do they know what I have, or do they have the means and technology I want?"

Asuma Sarutobi shook his head:

"Who knows what they want!"

It's ridiculous that I couldn't help but jump out just because I knew Shuimu had something good.

"I see. They just gathered a bunch of idiots and thought they were in a good position, and then they came to blackmail me!"

"That's too harsh to hear!"

All the prominent figures in Konoha were scolded by Mizuki.

"So now there is a conclusion?"

"Not yet. Shimura Danzo and some of the elders agree, Lady Tsunade disagrees, Hyuga clan leader opposes, Ino-Shika-cho, Inuzuka, and Aburame remain silent, and the others either oppose or agree, and in the end, they parted unhappily."

"So, you're the one who informed me?"

After all, the Sarutobi family, to which this guy belongs, is also a major family in Konoha, and must have its own interests.

"It's just routine. I'm not really interested in these."

Because of his prominent birth, he is often involved in diplomatic and administrative tasks, which is indeed annoying.

"I won't make it difficult for you. Tell them..."

Mizuki said seemingly casually.

"I can give my things to whoever I want. There's no need for other people to say anything. If you want them, exchange them for something of equal value. Otherwise, don't bother me!"

Some guys who have no self-awareness think they can get the upper hand after being taken advantage of.

Shuimu didn't have time to deal with them now. He would deal with them first if he could just survive the next two years. There was no need to get entangled with a group of dying people.

“I knew it would be like this!”

Asuma Sarutobi had a bitter face.

"It's a thankless job. I'll be blamed when I go back."

"Stop complaining. Just be quiet and be affectionate with your girlfriend. Why are you getting involved in these things?"

"That's easy to say."

Asuma finally couldn't help himself and lit up the cigarette, taking a deep puff.

"Some things can't be avoided. I really envy you!"

"Well, I won't make things difficult for you!"

Mizuki said after thinking for a moment.

"I'd like to add one more thing to my previous answer. If I become the Sixth Hokage, I might give them some benefits if I'm in a good mood, so that these guys who have never seen the world can broaden their horizons."

"How dare you say that!"

Wonderful is not enough to describe the bearded man's expression.

"You ask for a high price, but you have to pay the low price... Oh, no, this is my own business, no bargaining, no credit, come back to me when you have fulfilled my request."

"This is a joke! If your words get out, it will be disastrous!"

"I'm not afraid, why are you worried?"

All these disturbances are probably just Danzo's doing, but it is absolutely true that he covets the power of the tailed beasts. This guy's head-on power can't do anything to Mizuki, so he will try to take advantage of the situation.

Asuma Sarutobi put out his cigarette:

"That's about it, I should go too."

Although it seemed like a big deal to others, Shuimu didn't take it too seriously. In a few months, these guys wouldn't have the time to discuss these trivial matters.
