When the decision was made, the ninja's ability to act was quite excellent. After just over a day, the Six-Tails Jinchuriki Yutaka of the Hidden Mist Village and the escort team arrived at Konoha Village. After a short rest, they set out on the road to the Hidden Cloud Village.
Before leaving, Mizuki gave guidance to his disciple, Haruno Sakura, for the last time.
Whether it was ninjutsu, taijutsu, genjutsu or even senjutsu, Mizuki didn't have much to say, as he had already taught everything that needed to be taught.
The techniques that were not taught were forbidden and too dangerous, and not suitable for Sakura to learn now.
The only thing that can help Sakura improve her strength in the short term is space-time ninjutsu.
Unfortunately, although Mizuki has given the improved version of the Flying Thunder God Technique to Sakura, this space-time ninjutsu that can change the situation of a battle single-handedly is not so easy to master.
Although he couldn't use space-time ninjutsu as freely as Mizuki, at least he had practiced seriously for such a long time and was barely able to use the space-time warehouse.
For an all-round ninja, having a space-time warehouse that can carry a large amount of materials is of great help, and it is worth Mizuki's serious teaching.
Looking at Sakura putting a pile of ninja tools and supplies into the space-time warehouse, Mizuki nodded with satisfaction.
"Let's stop here. You don't have much time left before you set off. You'd better go back and prepare..."
"I understand. Thank you for your hard work!"
"Go ahead!"
Mizuki waved his hand, and Sakura turned and left as he was told. Mizuki didn't care much about the last polite words.
This may be the last time Mizuki will have direct contact with the next generation of pillars of Konoha Village.
The position of the instructor of Team 8 had long been in name only as Shino Aburame, Kiba Inuzuka and Hinata Hyuga were successively promoted to Chunin.
Most of Team 8's missions are now completed by Aburame Shino, with Mizuki being the team leader in name only.
Due to the heavy workload, Mizuki hasn't led Team 8 to complete the mission alone for some time.
As for the disciple who was taught more attentively, Haruno Sakura, Mizuki had long recognized that this hard-working little girl had reached the level of a master.
If it weren't for the fact that the combat effectiveness of the ninja world has increased rapidly in the past two years due to special reasons, Sakura's strength would be no weaker than most of the jonin.
But now that the Ninja World War is imminent, not many people will care about the promotion of one or two ninjas.
From a physical ninja who is proficient in medical ninjutsu in the original work, to an all-round ninja with comprehensive development of ninjutsu, physical ninjutsu and illusion, and a rising star with remarkable attainments in sealing techniques, barrier techniques and space-time ninjutsu, Sakura has earned her strength through hard work step by step.
Unlike Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke who are favored by fate, those two teammates seem to have extraordinary strength. As long as certain conditions are met, they can remove the restrictions of the ability seal and then improve their strength by leaps and bounds like cheating. Sakura's difficulty in gaining power is much higher than that of Naruto and Sasuke.
If a ninja with inferior talents wants to catch up with his talented companions, he has to work harder than his hardworking companions.
The only thing in Sakura's favor was that she had a strong person with a good vision like Mizuki to teach her, which helped Sakura avoid many detours.
"That's it. The next time we meet, it will probably be on the battlefield!"
Shuimu sighed and prepared to go back and make preparations for the long journey. The trip to Longdi Cave did not look like it would be easy.
It has been almost four years since Mizuki traveled to the ninja world. At that time, he was still a precarious Chunin, but now he has become a married man with children and a powerful figure. His every move affects the future outcome of the ninja world.
If possible, Shuimu would like to make more preparations, but now it is time to waste no more time.
The trip to Longdi Cave is the last important thing besides practicing and improving one's own strength.
…
In the northern border of the Land of Fire, in a hilly area not far from the Land of Rice, a spatial fluctuation that was clearly different from most places in the Ninja World appeared in Mizuki's perception.
"The three sacred places for spiritual beasts are probably all places like this!"
Anomalies that are obscure and difficult to guess are easily overlooked. Moreover, this place is sparsely populated and giant dangerous creatures emerge in an endless stream, so basically no one would come to this kind of ghost place.
Most of the powerful people who have the ability to sense these anomalies have important matters to deal with and are usually very busy. How could they have the time to leisurely explore such a remote wilderness?
"It's such a hard-to-find place!"
Shuimu carefully released his perception and checked carefully. After making sure there was nothing abnormal around, he carefully touched the point emitting space fluctuations.
After a while, a passage hidden in the void appeared in front of Shuimu.
"This is it. It really looks like a snake's nest from which one can never return!"
Even if you just sense it, you can actually feel a cold wave radiating outwards.
"Let me see how great the so-called White Snake Immortal is!"
As the water and wood seals were formed, chakra fluctuations were released, his long silver hair fluttered, and his pupils became strange, like a hint of dark gold revealing through the deep red.
For safety reasons, Mizuki first activated the Sage Mode, then his body became ethereal and he moved forward steadily, and after a moment he disappeared into the ninja world.
Shuimu only felt a flash before his eyes and his feet felt light and floating, as if he had lost gravity and was floating in the air. A brilliant color enveloped Shuimu from all around.
Before Shuimu could react, he suddenly felt a lightness on his back, and a pair of colorful butterfly wings stretched out from behind Shuimu.
Immediately, the brilliant light that was about to approach him disappeared, and what appeared before his eyes was a space that was swirling and shaking from time to time.
"Just now, was that an illusion?"
Shuimu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Fortunately, his resistance to illusion was high enough, and his mental obsession rescued him at the critical moment.
This corridor is shrouded in invisible power and contains many traps that can kill people. Just look at the space turbulence that breaks through obstacles from time to time. Although it looks inconspicuous, it is an invincible supreme force.
Flapping the wings behind him, Shuimu carefully avoided the unknown dangerous energies around him, slowly moved forward, approaching the Longdi Cave step by step.
In this environment with no time reference and no space comparison, I don’t know how long it took or how far I walked, but finally, a different scenery appeared in front of me.
"This should be it."
A hint of joy appeared on Shuimu's face and he quickened his pace!
