When Yukimura was experiencing the life of an Anbu ninja, his original body, Uchiha Sasuke, was on a mission in the Land of Lightning.
As expected, although there was a risk of being attacked, the possibility was not very high. Team 7 successfully entered the Land of Lightning and, with the help of the Cloud Ninjas, arrived at the hard-to-find Giant Turtle Island.
Uchiha Sasuke had heard about the importance of this mission many times. There were only three Jinchūriki in the entire ninja world who had not been captured.
The Six-Tails Jinchuriki Yutaka and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Naruto were also in danger despite being protected by a group of powerful ninjas.
The Eight-Tails Jinchuriki and the Two-Tails Jinchuriki were also ambushed by the Akatsuki organization, and Might Guy's team almost couldn't come back.
Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, was lucky to escape, but Yugito, the Two-Tails, was not so lucky.
Although in Sasuke's mind, the tailed beasts were only giant summoning beasts that he could control, and he did not understand the importance of the nine tailed beasts, but how many people in the ninja world could figure that out?
In comparison, what Sasuke is most worried about right now is something that has made him hesitate for a long time.
"What exactly does the fusion of yin and yang mean?"
The secret placed on the ancestral stone tablet of the Uchiha family's Nanga Shrine gradually emerged due to the evolution of the Sharingan, and was also exposed as Sasuke obtained the eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.
Although there was nothing wrong with the stone tablet that was tampered with by Black Zetsu, the secret that was misleading made Sasuke have some very bad ideas.
Anyone who can think will naturally interpret everything in front of them within the scope of their understanding.
The decision that Uchiha Madara made decades ago was to fuse the cells of the first Hokage, Senju Hashirama, to bring his own power to a higher level.
Although he succeeded in the end, it was too late and he had to turn to seeking a remedy through resurrection from the dead.
Decades later, another genius reached the same height as Uchiha Madara and saw the root of all tragedies.
This is no longer the era of Hashirama Senju. The power of Yang Release that is equal to the Yin attribute power of the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan has not appeared in the ninja world for decades.
Sasuke Uchiha was born with an immeasurable yang power, and none of the people he met now had as strong a yang power as his companion, Uzumaki Naruto.
But this is still a big gap from the eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.
There is currently no way to test the authenticity of the secrets on the stone tablet, but it still cannot stop Sasuke from secretly speculating on what the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan will look like next.
After learning the latest secret on the stone tablet, Uchiha Sasuke also wanted to ask Teacher Mizuki, who seemed to know everything.
After hesitating for a long time and being undecided, he had to come to the Land of Thunder because of a mission.
In Sasuke's heart, he has always needed a knowledgeable elder to answer his questions. Perhaps he has already determined that the omniscient Mizuki should know the answer.
But Sasuke didn't like this feeling.
"Hey, Kakashi-sensei, you once said that a prophetic bloodline limit like Mizuki-sensei's is unique, right?"
Kakashi had been waiting for a long time for his disciple, who had a lot on his mind, to ask a question, but he didn't expect it to be a question like this.
"Prophecy..."
Kakashi sighed.
"Mizuki is not the only one who has a similar ability. The Great Toad Sage of Myoboku Mountain, the source of Naruto's summoning beast, is said to have such an ability. Jiraiya-sama, Naruto, and you have actually appeared in the Great Toad Sage's prophecy, but..."
Kakashi paused, then continued.
"It is so rare to find someone as unreasonable, illogical, detailed and focused as Shuimu..."
Sasuke listened for a while, then interrupted and asked:
"Kakashi-sensei doesn't seem to like Mizuki-sensei's prophetic abilities!"
"That's for sure. Who would like to have their secrets exposed to others? Shuimu's gaze brought too much pressure. Although I know he has no ill intentions, it doesn't feel good to feel like I've been seen through..."
"Mr. Mizuki doesn't seem to be such a bad person, right?"
"Of course I know!"
Kakashi smiled.
"After spending time with Shuimu, you will realize that this guy is very cold and indifferent. He is just like a stone on the roadside that you don't want to pay attention to. But once you are accepted by him, you will find that he can also be so enthusiastic at times. He is a good guy."
"Extreme marginal communication style? I've heard about it in psychology courses at Ninja School, but I didn't really understand it!"
"Even a senior jonin like me doesn't really understand these things. It's enough to know the theory, but you still have to experience it slowly by yourself."
Sasuke nodded:
"No wonder Mizuki-sensei has some friends, but there aren't many people who would go to Mizuki-sensei to chat, party, drink, etc.?"
Who would be okay with being around a guy who has the ability to read minds?
Although Shuimu is not that powerful, a guy with flaws in his heart naturally doesn't want to make trouble for no reason.
"People who have suffered psychological trauma are prone to varying degrees of paranoia, and always feel that Shuimu is spying on their inner scars! Fortunately, Shuimu is not a guy who likes to be lively, and he is comfortable with ordinary friends. So don't be fooled by Shuimu's cold appearance, he is actually quite popular in the village!"
If we ignore the dark history that has been written into the archives in the early years, it is truly an example of a civilian ninja's counterattack.
Mizuki now has some admirers among the young civilian ninjas.
The era of the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze has passed, and it is time for a new hero to carry the banner.
In fact, this is also a case of the authorities being confused.
Except for those who have prejudice against Mizuki, people like Tsunade, Hatake Kakashi and other senior ninjas, and even the two elders Mizuki Kado En and Utane Koharu all understand that if Tsunade has no intention of serving as Hokage for a long time, Mizuki's chance of succeeding the Sixth Hokage is much greater than that of Hatake Kakashi, Nara Shikaku, Hyuga Hiashi and others, just because Mizuki is a civilian ninja with a good family background cultivated by Konoha.
In an era when ninjas are becoming more and more common, the voices of civilian ninjas are growing stronger and stronger. Whether it is Tsunade or Jiraiya, the Fifth Hokage is enough to convince the public, and because they are appointed in times of crisis, people have nothing to say.
But the candidate for the next Hokage does not have the prestige of the Sannin at all.
The head of a ninja clan that represents the interests of a minority group is somewhat suspicious after all.
Ninjas without the burden of family actually have more political advantages.
