Since Konan doesn't cause trouble for Mizuki, Mizuki will naturally ignore her. As for the Rain Ninjas who assist her, Mizuki doesn't have any ideas. As long as they manage the Rain Country well and contribute their beliefs, that's enough. As for any little secrets, Mizuki doesn't bother to care.

However, sometimes, things don't develop the way you imagine. Just because Shuimu doesn't want to get involved doesn't mean Xiaonan won't have his own ideas.

A pair of figures with huge paper wings rose from the ground and then quickly left the Rain Kingdom at an extremely fast speed.

"What is this for?"

Although they were walking through the densely packed high-rise buildings in the Land of Rain and it was raining all the time so visibility was poor and the noise wasn't very loud, but after seeing how Mizuki dealt with Kakuzu's sky-blocking barrier, it would be foolish to think that Mizuki couldn't detect this level of noise.

"Wouldn't it be better to leave quietly? Why do you have to be so conspicuous? Are you afraid that we won't be discovered?"

Gongzhi sensed it for a while, thought about it, and then said:

"Perhaps, Xiaonan is more naive than we thought. It should be that Xiaonan discovered the investigation of Menghuo, Long and Kagura..."

"You mean..."

Hope said incredulously.

"Did he think we would harm Hibiscus, Water Lily, and Hydrangea, so he revealed his identity and fled the Rain Country to protect these three female ninjas?"

There has to be a limit to naivety. It's such a simple trick, and I don't know what they are trying to prove. If Shuimu wanted to harm them, these people would have turned into corpses long ago.

"what to do?"

Gongzhi pressed his temples with a headache.

"We can just give her a symbolic chase and drive her out of the Rain Country. If we leave her alone, this naive girl might think that we will harm those three female Rain Ninjas and try to attract their attention. I don't know what she is thinking. Will she perform a self-torture trick to dispel our doubts about those subordinates who worship her?"

"Who's going? I've been acting all the time these days, it's really boring."

"I'll go!"

Gongzhi put down the work at hand.

"Time is already tight, and I still have to do these boring things..."

Hope smiled and said:

"It's hard to say. If Konan leaves here, she might go looking for trouble with Uchiha Obito. After all, she is a pathfinder. With her strength, it's not bad. Her destructive power is not as good as a perfect Jinchūriki, but she can fly, which is also a good power."

As long as she knows how to use it, paper ninjutsu combined with the ability to fly, plus the large number of detonating tags in her hand, if Mizuki doesn't have space-time ninjutsu, she won't want to get close to her casually. Moreover, if she fights with Konan in the Land of Rain and breaks all the bottles and jars that she has accumulated with great difficulty, it will be a big loss.

So, working alone is not without its advantages. Although the farming method is very effective, there are too many things to consider and it is sometimes very energy-consuming.

…

Mizuki, who was in Konoha, only got a general understanding of what happened in the Rain Country through the mental network, and then he didn't take it to heart.

In comparison, how to lure Mitarashi Anko and resurrect Orochimaru is more important.

When everyone knows that Orochimaru is dead, how to avoid suspicion and let Mizuki use the Heaven's Curse Seal on Anko Mitarashi is a technical job.

The current Mitarashi Anko is definitely not a small figure. Her own strength and overall quality are considered top-notch among the jonin. However, because of her personality, she has always remained at the level of a special jonin.

Although she is usually unreliable, she rarely makes mistakes on key matters. Therefore, she was entrusted with an important task by Tsunade. After the sudden death of Danzo Shimura, she was responsible for integrating the related forces of the "Root" organization. Except for a few who were directly deployed by Tsunade, the rest were handled by Mitarashi Anko.

Although she is not as good as Shuimu, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is in a high position and has great power at this time. There are quite a lot of people and things that directly or indirectly obey her and are under her jurisdiction. If something goes wrong with such a person, it will definitely not be simply dealt with.

"We can't put all the blame on Akatsuki. There should be a limit to how much blame we can take. If there is a problem with the curse seal, the first person to be suspected will definitely be me, a guy with a criminal record!"

In terms of fame, Mizuki is indeed now a powerful figure in the ninja world, but he has never been associated with the light and upright.

If Orochimaru and Shimura Danzo were not even more feared, Mizuki would not have the positive evaluation he has now.

"It's probably a bit difficult to do something behind the scenes!"

There are only a handful of people in the ninja world who can subdue Mitarashi Anko in an instant without anyone being able to catch them. Apart from Mizuki, there is probably no one more suspicious who has that motive.

The only feasible way is to let Mitarashi Anko come to the door openly and strike at the blind spot of other people's attention.

Is it difficult to do this?

For others, there may be no solution, but for Shuimu, it is not impossible if you put in a little more thought.

Three days later, Mizuki was solemnly called to the Hokage's office by Tsunade. When he arrived, as expected, the haggard-looking Anko Mitarashi was already waiting there.

"I succeeded!"

Shuimu was secretly delighted and walked closer with a calm expression on his face.

"I wonder what Lady Tsunade wants me to do? The Security Department has a lot of complicated war preparations to do, so I can't leave for too long!"

These words were not excuses. The Ninja Alliance was about to be formed, and many ninjas from the Security Department would be transferred. There were so many things to do, and Kakashi was not there, so Mizuki was indeed very busy. If it weren't for the physical clone who helped occasionally, Mizuki would have given up long ago.

"I have no choice but to trouble you at this time. There are some things that no one else can understand except you..."

Tsunade nodded in understanding.

"You must be aware of the Heaven's Curse Seal on Anko's body. It was created by Orochimaru. Although it occasionally breaks out, it has generally remained stable. It's just that in the past two days, it has frequently broken through the seal. Although there is no sign of any danger for the time being, it is really disturbing, so I wanted to show you!"

“I see!”

Shuimu knew the reason very well, but he still had to say a few perfunctory words.

"There are many reasons why the curse is active. I can't tell for sure. I still need to check it carefully..."

Mitarashi Anko, whose face was a little pale, smiled gratefully at Mizuki.

"Thank you for your help."

The usually energetic female ninja has been tortured to the point where she no longer has the energy to talk nonsense.

The curse seal riot caused such an accident. Although it was a bit troublesome for Shuimu, as long as the operation was good, relying on the close resonance between the curse seal chakras, it really wasn't too difficult...
