Kakashi shook his head and said, "We've already mentioned this in the previous meeting. The Third Hokage insisted on not using it, so we can only act accordingly."

Mizuki was silent for a while. The Four Purple Flame Formation was activated very quickly. The strength of the Sound Four was not weak. The possibility of breaking the barrier in a short time was too low. If they did not arrange it as soon as possible, they would not be able to interfere with the battle between Orochimaru and the Third Generation. Under the threat of the Impure World Reincarnation, the Third Generation basically had no chance of winning and surviving.

"Can't you think of a solution?" Shuimu asked.

"There aren't many people who can intervene in the battles of the Hokage level, and ordinary people can't really make a big difference if they go." Sarutobi Asuma is familiar with the Third Hokage. Although they disagreed because of their different philosophies when they were young, he still knows a thing or two about the Third Hokage's thinking. He has always been upset about the fact that he let Orochimaru go because of his soft heart, and now he has come back to harm the village. He has never given up the idea of ​​punishing Orochimaru personally, even if it means risking his life.

Although I knew that what Asuma said was true, but after waiting for the Four Purple Flame Formation to be set up, the feeling of watching the third generation die in battle without being able to do anything was quite uncomfortable.

Jiraiya, the only one who could change the outcome, is in the village now, but for him, who still has feelings for Orochimaru, it is not an easy decision to help the Third Hokage kill Orochimaru. That's why he hid in the dark, quietly waiting for the result, and only showed up later when the giant summoned beast endangered the village.

"It's really hard to sort out the grudges and disputes among those seniors."

Shuimu had to put aside his unrealistic ideas for the time being and focus on the present.

"But it seems that both Naruto and Sakura won, which is really unexpected." Kakashi said with a smile.

Naruto's chances of winning were slim, but still possible. However, it was more surprising that Sakura won. After all, their starting points were too different. Even with specific guidance, one month was too short.

"You should pay more attention to your students, Kakashi." There should be no problem for the time being. Before the other party launched the attack, several suspicious targets had already entered the key observation line of sight. If there is any problem later, we will do our best to capture them.

"Ah, then I'll go over and fulfill my duties as a teacher first." After saying that, Kakashi waved his hand, put away the Intimate Paradise series in his hand, and went to find out about Sakura and Naruto's situation.

"Then we'll go up first. It's not good to neglect an important person." Now that Kakashi has shown up, Asuma and Kurenai Yuhi are about to leave. "We'll come down to help if there's any problem."

"When the large-scale illusion technique - Nirvana Abode is used, everyone will be busy with their own affairs. Why would you help?"

After all, there are only a few ninjas on the scene, and most of them are ordinary people with no resistance. If large-scale casualties occur, Konoha will lose all its face. It will not even be enough to protect civilians, and they will probably have to fight on their own later.

Not to mention the events outside the field, the game on the field was also becoming increasingly intense, and it looked like the winner would be decided soon.

Temari's wind ninjutsu is indeed quite powerful, and combined with a giant folding fan weapon, it is simply even more powerful. Close combat may not be her forte, but it is not bad either. The power of the wind ninjutsu made Shikamaru run around and unable to get close. Shikamaru's shadow secret technique could not be used, and all the secret techniques he came up with were cracked one by one.

"The Sand Ninja's strength is indeed not to be underestimated."

Although Temari has no good way to deal with Shikamaru for the time being, don't forget that Shikamaru is no ordinary person. He is not the same as ordinary civilian ninjas. He has a favorable environment, a smart mind and excellent qualifications. Even if he is lazy and not working hard enough, he is not someone who can be matched against by just any ninja.

The Sand Village is located in the Wind Country, a country with a harsh environment and scarce resources. It is completely incomparable to the Fire Country where Konoha is located. Moreover, the defeats in the two Ninja Wars were too great a blow to the Sand Ninja. Especially the last time, the Third Kazekage, who was known as the strongest Kazekage, disappeared inexplicably, which was a fatal blow to the reputation of the Sand Ninja. The already limited share was further snatched away, and they could not even maintain a ninja team of too large a scale. Therefore, they could only take the route of elite ninjas and concentrate their efforts on supplying a few geniuses to cultivate strong men.

In terms of overall strength, Konoha Village is the strongest, because Konoha Ninja has the largest number of ninjas and their overall strength is also good. However, the individual combat power of the middle and high-level Sand Ninjas is still higher than that of Konoha. Only the Mist Ninja Village in the Blood Mist Land can be compared with the Sand Ninja. If Konoha were not a place favored by the world, with the emergence of geniuses all the time, and the support of several powerful ninja clans, it would have long been unable to suppress the restless Sand Ninjas.

However, the Third Generation, who has recently become a little old, can no longer support Konoha, which is in a period of transition. So when Orochimaru came to the door, the Sand Ninja, who had already had some ideas, decided to take a risk.

The duel between Temari and Nara Shikamaru is just a microcosm. The weak Konoha tried to overcome the difficulties by various means, but the Sand Ninja didn't care about that and rolled up their sleeves and prepared for war.

But just like Asuma said, Shikamaru finally seized the opportunity, but his chakra was exhausted and he had to admit defeat sadly.

"What do you think?" Kakashi, who had just finished building relationships with the students, came to Mizuki and asked.

"You mean Nara Shikamaru?"

Kakashi nodded.

"How should I put it? A genius among geniuses. However," Mizuki glanced at Haruno Sakura and said, "He relies too much on his brain. His super high IQ is a powerful weapon, but it also restricts his further progress. It depends on whether he can gain some insights in the future."

Kakashi nodded and said, "You are indeed very accurate, worthy of being a teacher."

"Are you praising me or yourself? You can't even take care of your own three students, and yet you still worry about others?"

"You can't say that. After all, we are pretty familiar with each other. It's only right for me to help you sometimes~"

"You mean Sakura?" Mizuki shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't want to. If she has any ideas, she can come to me. Anyway, I don't think many Genin in the whole Konoha can understand what I have. I would be more than happy to have a smart person to study with me and verify each other, but~"

Mizuki said to Kakashi seriously: "I think you have greatly underestimated Sakura's potential. You should really find a better teacher for her. It's okay to let me take care of her temporarily, but for real teaching, you should find a more reliable one~"

Because of his shortcoming in medical ninjutsu, he cannot provide Haruno Sakura with a very good training platform. A large amount of practice and experimental materials are simply not resources that Mizuki can provide.
