Although Orochimaru's actions were somewhat surprising, Mizuki had no clue for the time being and could only take it one step at a time.

Now that things have come to this, Shuimu can temporarily focus all his energy on guiding Xiaochun's practice.

With her current accumulation, her disciple Sakura can almost go on on her own.

With her qualifications, teaching for such a long time is enough.

Cultivation mainly depends on oneself. After all, a master who teaches and answers questions cannot replace cultivation.

Some time ago, Mizuki also saw Sakura's progress in the Inorganic Reincarnation Technique. Being able to get started is already quite good for a ninja of this age.

Being able to use magic has already gone beyond the scope of ordinary ninjas.

The current Sakura may not be as proficient in medical ninjutsu as in the original work, but she has an overwhelming advantage in combat power and comprehensiveness.

Now, Sakura is almost a master.

Shuimu couldn't tell whether this could be considered as inheritance of the mantle.

Shuimu gave this stubborn little girl the ability to control her own destiny. What she does next depends on her own choice.

"What are you thinking about?"

Xiaochun, who was meditating and sensing the energy of nature with the help of Mizuki, noticed that her husband was a little distracted.

"Nothing, I just feel like time has passed very quickly and a lot has changed in the past few years!"

Xiaochun smiled:

“No matter how big the change is, as long as it’s getting better, there’s no need to worry.”

"It's not that I'm worried, it just feels a little unreal."

From the perspective of an outsider, he slowly becomes involved in the affairs of the ninja world, and finally disturbs the time in his memory beyond recognition.

Thoughts that cannot be told to others can only be endured silently by oneself.

The next year or so will be the final summary of my diligent preparations over the past three years.

"What are you still worried about? You are already so strong, and you have the support of Konoha Village. Is there any trouble that you can't solve?"

Xiaochun, who is closest to Mizuki, can best feel the depth of Mizuki's strength.

Although she didn't know all of Mizuki's background, she was certain that her husband was no weaker than any known living ninja in the ninja world.

Despite having such confidence, he is still full of doubts about the future. This is one of the reasons why Xiaochun is paying more and more attention to his own strength.

"It's not just a matter of strength!"

Mizuki didn't know how to explain it. The daily life of a ninja suddenly turned into a myth. He really didn't know where to start.

"But don't worry too much. You are right. These are problems that the entire ninja world needs to face. I don't need to be the only one to be strong."

Mizuki smiled slightly and activated the sealing formation under his feet, calming the chakra fluctuations in Xiaochun's body.

"You should focus on your own cultivation. It's never a bad thing to become stronger."

"good!"

Shuimu has already removed all the shackles that have hindered Xiaochun's practice of the Sage Mode. All that remains is more practice and practice makes perfect. Since such conditions exist, it is inevitable to make full use of them.

Naruto Uzumaki, who was not good at the Shadow Clone Technique, finally through his unremitting efforts, turned the Shadow Clone Technique into his best ninjutsu, and integrated it into his own fighting style, performing many different tricks.

Xiaochun's ability to finely control and utilize chakra is definitely not much worse than Naruto's.

"Begin, and try to integrate the natural energy into your bloodline limit."

Following Shuimu's instructions, Xiaochun, who had activated the Sage Mode, spread out his right hand. A series of tiny electric arcs gathered in the palm of his hand. After adding natural energy, the silver ball of light emitted a hint of golden light and gradually changed its shape under Xiaochun's manipulation.

"How do you feel?"

Xiaochun thought about it carefully, and then replied:

"It's a very strange phenomenon. My perception has been greatly enhanced, so my control ability has also improved a lot!"

The ball of light formed by the bloodline limit energy in Xiaochun's hand began to change its shape regularly.

Whether it's shield defense, net coverage, spears, or ropes, there's no big problem.

"It's a bit like Chidori's form change, but the consumption is much greater than Chidori's. Natural energy can't keep up."

Mizuki observed it carefully.

"Try the power again!"

Xiao Chun nodded, clasped his hands together, and energy shot out from the gap between his palms. A bright light shot out, and after leaving his palms, it turned into a silver fork-shaped energy beam, silently turning all the obstacles in front into powder.

“It’s so powerful!”

Xiaochun was also a little surprised. She didn't expect that such a powerful ninjutsu could be used by herself.

"After the ninjutsu is launched, the control ability is much worse than Darui's Storm Release, so the hit rate and flexibility will be greatly reduced, but it is far superior in terms of speed, range and power."

Shuimu, who is well-informed, naturally can see clearly the advantages and disadvantages of this technique.

The biggest drawback is that it consumes too much chakra. With Xiaochun's chakra level, she can't sustain it for long.

In just a moment, Xiaochun's Sage Mode could no longer hold on.

"This kind of escape technique shouldn't be developed in this direction. You need to strengthen your form changes. The Lightning Escape Armor is your reference direction."

He gathered his own chakra to conserve energy, and with the super high speed brought by the Sage Mode, he wrapped his body in this unstoppable escapade that could destroy anything with a single touch, turning himself into a rampaging humanoid beast, a battlefield meat grinder... No, it should be called a battlefield black hole.

With this pioneer, coupled with an all-round warrior who can take the head of a general in the midst of thousands of troops, it seems very powerful.

Of course, Xiaochun needs to seize the time to practice first, otherwise if he fails to control himself well, he might hurt himself instead of killing the enemy.

…

In the Land of Fire, Team 7 is on their way to the Land of Grass. A very advantageous point about this mission is that the Three-Tails is located in the Land of Fire, which belongs to Konoha's sphere of influence.

The Konoha ninjas who have reached an agreement with the Hidden Mist Village do not have to consider anyone's feelings when acting. Any strangers who approach without permission can be treated as enemies.

This undoubtedly greatly reduces unnecessary trouble and only requires considering force and fighting.

Although the key figures have not yet arrived, the Konoha Ninja Force stationed on the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Earth has already blocked the relevant area, and no irrelevant people will rashly enter.

Konoha Village has invested so much manpower that Sasuke, Naruto and Sakura from Team 7 are full of confidence.

Although it is an S-level mission, Team 7 is going all out, and they have other companions and reinforcements at their side. I really can’t think of any reason why they would fail!

The optimistic little guys haven't fully understood what kind of terrible monster they are about to face!
