There are only a few people in the entire ninja world who can do such a thing under Mizuki's nose.

Although it is only a matter of time before Yukimura is exposed if he is exposed like this, it is really difficult to balance the two at this moment.

Faced with Mizuki's question, Yukimura was a little hesitant and a little aggrieved, as if he had some resentment towards Mizuki's long-term indifference.

After finally coming here, he acted like he was blaming me. I clearly had no ill intentions, but it was as if I had done something wrong. It was really puzzling.

"Are you in your rebellious phase?!"

Every child will go through this stage of growth. Although Yukimura looks like a young man in his early twenties, his mental age is not yet mature enough. His experience is far beyond his age, but his emotional intelligence is still very flawed.

Looking at the stubborn young man who lowered his head and resisted passively, with an attitude of neither arguing nor wanting to tell Shuimu the truth, Shuimu turned to Yuhuo and said:

"You tell me everything you know!"

Yuhuo looked at the panicked Yukimura with some embarrassment, hesitated for a moment, and answered honestly:

"Some time ago, there was a strange boy about thirteen or fourteen years old who said he was a wandering ninja and wanted Yukimura to leave with him. After being rejected, he left a strange ninjutsu scroll and left, saying he would come back later, but he has not appeared again to this day."

Such a skilled abduction of qualified young ninjas seems somewhat familiar!

"Anything else besides these?"

"That person said his name was Mitsuki. I couldn't understand the ninjutsu scroll he gave to Yukimura. I only knew that the words 'Snake Immortal Technique' were written on the title page!"

"Mitsuki, snake fairy technique?"

Mizuki was shocked and thought to himself that it was indeed Orochimaru's work. He didn't expect that he would stir up trouble before he was even resurrected. It seemed that something big had happened.

"I see."

Mizuki nodded and said to Yukimura.

"Anything else you want to say?"

Yukimura looked up at Mizuki cautiously, then looked at Mizuki's calm expression and lowered his head nervously.

"Nothing, I just want to be a ninja too!"

"Be a ninja?"

Mizuki carefully looked at Yukimura's expression and judged whether this guy wanted to do this himself or was bewitched by others.

"Are you unhappy here? Why do you suddenly have such an idea?"

"No, there's nothing wrong with staying here, but sometimes I feel a little lonely. The people around me, except for Yuhuo, are not ninjas. There's not even someone I can talk about ninjutsu with in my spare time. I always feel like something is missing!"

“I see!”

Mizuki sighed. He practiced ninjutsu every day, but found that the abilities he was proud of were of no use and no one could even understand him. Although Mizuki could not empathize with him, he could understand a little bit of the loss.

"The world of ninja is not something you can enter easily. If you really want to become a formal ninja, it is not impossible, but you have to let go of everything you have now!"

The friends, neighbors, and people he had met over the years, and who he had dealt with regularly, no longer intersected with Yukimura's life.

"Even Yuhuo may not be able to stay with you anymore. If I take action, you must go with me, but Yuhuo may not be able to go with me!"

"Eh...Is it not possible?"

Yukimura was shocked that something he had thought was natural actually had a problem.

"You have my support, so there are ways to make your wish come true. But Yuhuo is not from Konoha Village at all, and he is not even a ninja. How can it be so easy to arrange for him?"

Although Mizuki also gave Yuhuo some advice when teaching Yukimura, if she had not slacked off and studied hard in the past three years, her strength as a Chunin would not be a problem, but it was meaningless. Konoha Village did not lack a Chunin of mediocre strength. It would take a lot of effort for Yukimura to have an identity in the open. Adding Yuhuo of an unknown identity would be too troublesome.

"The three-year period between Yuhuo and I has passed. The reason she stayed here during this period of time is because I paid her to help you here. It's not a matter of course that she stayed here."

What has been said is clear. It all depends on what choice this young man makes.

Mizuki signaled to Yuhuo not to say anything more, and then waited quietly for Yukimura to make a decision.

After hesitating for a long time, the survivor raised his head.

"I still want to be a ninja, but I hope to bring Fishing Fire with me..."

"What are you going to do if I don't agree?"

As if he had anticipated Mizuki's challenge, Yukimura replied solemnly:

"Then I don't need your help, I'll figure it out myself!"

"Really..."

Mizuki couldn't help but laugh.

"How shameless of you to say that. Is the ninja world so hard on you?"

Although he didn't care much, Shuimu still restrained his smile. It seemed inappropriate to laugh at a young person's ideals.

The survivor with a stubborn face looked at Shuimu without giving in.

"Okay, I understand."

Mizuki waved his hand.

"I can sense your desire to become a ninja, but have you asked Yuhuo? She may not necessarily be willing to become a ninja with a precarious future!"

"Huh?"

Mizuki's reminder made Yukimura stunned. He had never considered Yuhuo's feelings much before.

"Don't you want to be a ninja?"

Seeing Yukimura's hopeful look, Yuhuo replied a little embarrassedly:

"It's not that I don't want to, but if it's too much trouble, forget it."

Yukimura was immediately hit hard by his go-with-the-flow attitude.

"But, if you don't become a ninja, what are you going to do? I won't be able to see you again!"

"Idiot! Being a ninja isn't the only way out. Can't we meet if we don't become ninjas? Many civilians in Konoha Village aren't ninjas..."

It seems that although this guy is not stupid in intelligence, he still lacks a lot in terms of social skills.

"That's it. You guys should prepare first, take care of the affairs of Wave Country, and say goodbye properly to the people who usually take care of you!"

"Ah... you agree? That's great!"

Although he still didn't quite understand, Yukimura was overjoyed.

"But what about this warehouse?"

"You don't need to worry about it. I'll find someone to take over! Since you want to leave here and become a ninja, this has nothing to do with you anymore."

“Really?”

Although it was his own choice, Yukimura still felt reluctant to leave this home that had been his for nearly three years and the place he had spent so much time and effort on.

"Okay, you guys go take care of yourselves. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. The next time I come, it will be time for you to leave."
