"Uh." Kakashi was stunned, a little surprised by Mizuki's words, "I didn't expect you to think so highly of Sakura, but for the time being I can't find a better person~"

"It looks like everyone will be very busy after the Chunin Exams. If I have time, I will help~"

After today, Konoha will be very different. It is too early to make any promises now. The period until Tsunade succeeds as the Fifth Hokage will be the most troublesome period for Konoha. There will be no time to do any extra things. When Tsunade comes back, Haruno Sakura will have someone to hold on to and won't have to hang herself on this crooked tree.

Seeing that Mizuki didn't say anything final, Kakashi stopped hesitating: "Is that so? Thank you very much."

"Well, you're welcome. Let's see how far Uchiha Sasuke, who has cost you so much effort, has come."

Kakashi said confidently: "If that Sand Ninja is still at the level of the trials, there is no need to worry too much."

As he said this, he glanced at Uchiha Sasuke who was eager to try and was about to enter.

"Kakashi, you are too optimistic." Mizuki had to remind him, "You came too late and you may not know that the Sand Ninja Kankuro has given up, and the three Genin from the Sand Village are behaving very abnormally."

"Huh? What happened?" Kakashi asked.

"That Gaara is very dangerous, very dangerous. That feeling is not just towards the Genin, but also the attitudes of his two teammates are very problematic. They are more afraid of Gaara than the Konoha ninjas. Do you understand what I mean? Those three Genin are not just smokescreens used to confuse people..."

For the Sand Ninjas with ulterior motives, this situation clearly showed that there was something wrong, and a big problem at that.

"What kind of dangerous feeling?" Kakashi demanded.

"You didn't show up for the first match, and Uzumaki Naruto's Nine-Tails chakra leaked again~"

"Oh, I just found out. So that's why I won... Wait, this isn't what you meant?" Kakashi suddenly realized and asked in surprise.

Mizuki didn't answer. He looked at Gaara who was eager to enter the arena and said, "You know what I mean. Why did this match go on after being postponed for so long instead of judging Sasuke to forfeit... If the speculation is true, we are in big trouble~"

"If he is really a Jinchūriki as you said." Kakashi said worriedly, "The competition is about to start, and it's too late to prepare the sealing team~"

"I hope all this is just groundless worry~" Shuimuyan said insincerely.

"The only lucky thing is that Orochimaru didn't trust the Sand Ninja and killed the Fourth Kazekage first, thus eliminating a major enemy."

"Fortunately, Master Jiraiya is still in the village." Kakashi said, "Even in the worst case scenario, there is still something we can do."

After saying that, Kakashi told Sasuke: "Sasuke, be careful..."

Uchiha Sasuke smiled confidently: "I know, I will win!" and jumped off the stands.

Mizuki shook his head. Sasuke had just learned how to use lightning chakra to stimulate his body. With his strength greatly improved, he was very confident in facing any Genin, even Rock Lee who had embarrassed him before. What's more, he had also learned powerful ninjutsu like Chidori. He was so proud and conceited that he would not take the Chunin Exam seriously.

Sasuke's attitude also made Kakashi hold back the rest of his words: "I was originally planning to give up as soon as he got into trouble~"

Facing Kakashi's bitter smile, Mizuki said: "Maybe the situation is not that bad. Jinchūriki is difficult to deal with, but that refers to Jinchūriki in tailed beast form. Gaara obviously doesn't seem to have good control. Jinchūriki in human form is not that scary~"

"I hope it's as ideal as you said."

Might Guy suddenly appeared beside the two people who were talking.

"My lifelong rival Kakashi, you've been here for so long, isn't it time for you to say hello to me? Are you ignoring me on purpose in order to launch a psychological attack on me before the duel?"

Looking at this pair of lifelong good friends, Shuimu also had a headache: "You guys chat, I'll go to the back to take a look first." Then he walked towards the lounge in the back.

While still in the corridor, Mizuki saw the figure of Hinata Hiashi leaving.

"It looks like Hyuga Neji is over there, maybe we can go in and take a look~"

Arriving at the door of the room, Mizuki knocked on the open door.

The voice attracted the attention of Neji inside, and he turned around and asked, "Mizuki-sensei?"

"What are you thinking about? So engrossed?" Shuimu walked in and said with a smile. When they were in the Death Forest before, the two had spent a long time together and were quite familiar with each other.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

"How is your injury? Do you need help? My medical ninjutsu can fool laymen~"

"I'm sorry to have worried you. A medical ninja has already treated you~"

"That's good~" Mizuki said, "There were too many unexpected events in this year's Chunin Exams. It's a pity that you were eliminated."

"I'm sorry to disappoint everyone." Neji said a little embarrassedly.

"I can't say I'm disappointed. After all, Uzumaki Naruto is not a weakling. It's just a pity."

"Mr. Mizuki." Neji seemed to have something to ask, "Do you think I'm a genius?"

Mizuki smiled at Neji's question.

"You are not a genius, how can others dare to use this adjective?"

"Let me put it this way. None of Konoha's current Genin can be your opponent before they reach the level of Jonin."

"But why did I lose to Uzumaki Naruto?"

"That's for another reason. Naruto is too special. His strength is not completely within the normal range. You will know it later." The Nine-Tails' ability is too incredible, and this is just the Chunin Exam after all. There are still many restrictions in the arena competition. If it is a life-and-death duel, Naruto will not be given the opportunity to explode.

In Mizuki's opinion, Neji's attitude has improved a lot, maybe it's because he knows the truth of that year, and his mentality has changed. Although he disagrees with what Konoha and Hyuga did, this is their way of survival. Mizuki doesn't want to say much. However, it is a waste for such a rare unpolished gem to dwell on boring topics like fate. With this kind of free time, it would be better for him to study philosophy with himself.

"But it's good this way. Although I haven't escaped the bondage of a caged bird, I'm no longer a pitiful creature who succumbs to so-called fate and complains about myself."

"Okay, let's stop chatting. I have things to do. You should have a good rest."

Watching Mizuki go out, Hyuga Neji was also confused. Mizuki's military uniform was really out of place. His ninja tool bag was bulging, and several Fuma shurikens were exposed without any concealment. He didn't look like an ordinary patrolling ninja at all, but more like he was going to the battlefield.

For a moment, Neji had a bad feeling.

On the other side, Mizuki, who had just walked out of the room, saw Hyuga Hinata hesitating at the door with medicine in her hand.

"Teacher Mizuki~" The shy Hinata quickly greeted Mizuki.

"Come in, Neji is waiting for you~" This is not nonsense from Mizuki. For the Byakugan, it is too easy to know that Hinata is outside the door.

No longer paying attention to all this, Shuimu suddenly said as he walked around a corner: "Is everything ready?"

"Of course." A figure walked out.
