In Konoha Village, Mizuki, who knew the information first, was already very busy.

Although being in a high position and having power is a good thing, when you enjoy privileges and are respected by others, you cannot avoid some responsibilities when you encounter problems.

At this time, Tsunade was the busiest person, followed by Mizuki, who was in charge of the Konoha Village Security Department.

When Hatake Kakashi was not around, Mizuki couldn't get away at all.

Although Tsunade is also very busy, she at least has various consultants, secretaries and assistants to help her with her work.

Although the Security Department is the department in charge of the largest number of ninjas in the village, it has few administrative positions, and many things have to be done personally by the director and deputy director.

At this time, Mizuki especially missed the leisure time when Kakashi Hatake was in the village and took over most of the chores.

At that time, I was still unaware of the good things I had and thought I was busy enough. I didn't expect that now is a tormenting hell.

The only assistant Mizuki had was Shiho, a female ninja who had a hopeless crush on Nara Shikamaru.

When Mizuki forced her to come over to help, the little girl was still full of resentment towards Mizuki. It didn't matter if she left the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, but the key was that she was further away from Nara Shikamaru.

At first, the little girl still had some emotions, but now, all kinds of things have overwhelmed her. She didn't like dressing up, and even though she had communicated with Yamanaka Ino, Haruno Sakura, Hyuga Hinata and Karin, she still didn't learn how to dress and dress like a girl. She was wearing a rustic robe, her long hair looked a little messy, and she looked exhausted. She wore glasses with rims as thick as the bottom of a beer bottle, which made her look really shabby.

Those girls who are called "dried women" are at least glamorous and beautiful outside, but they don't care about their appearance at home. Shiho seems to be so busy that she has given up on taking care of her appearance.

"Minister Mizuki, please check the list of personnel drawn from the Security Department to join the reconnaissance team. There are several inconsistencies in it..."

The water and wood are too lazy to lift:

"Don't call me minister. I'm just the deputy minister. As for those problems, they are not mistakes. Just treat them as a test to hone your abilities. You can handle them on your own. If I have to review these trivial matters one by one, what's the point of having you here?"

"It's not like I wanted to come here..."

Shiho suppressed her dissatisfaction and replied with a forced smile.

"I didn't want you either. I wanted Nara Shikamaru, but Lady Tsunade wouldn't let him go."

It turns out that no matter what, she and Shikamaru have to separate, and Shiho becomes even more unfriendly to Mizuki.

"These are your duties as a minister, please work harder!"

"Duty?"

Mizuki looked up from behind his desk piled with documents.

"If you say so, I can only give you an unsatisfactory evaluation, and you can't go back to the Hokage. But if you work hard again..."

Mizuki thought for a moment and then continued.

"If you do it to my satisfaction, I will tell you a secret about Nara Shikamaru!"

"secret?"

Shiho perked up.

"Really?"

Although the senior in front of him is already quite famous in the village, most people still don’t know Shuimu’s true face very well, because Shuimu is not the kind of person who likes to be in the spotlight.

Only a few people who had dealings with Shuimu and the well-informed upper echelons of the village knew some of the rumors about Shuimu.

If one could get a few words of guidance from a legendary master who possesses a bloodline limit with the power of prophecy, the benefits gained would be simply immeasurable.

Although this is not true, in the minds of some people who have only a superficial understanding of the situation, it is more like an urban legend and is believed by many people. Just look at the ninjas around Mizuki and those who have close relationships with him. Most of them have developed well in recent years, especially Haruno Sakura, who was originally smart but had very limited qualifications. Her recent reputation can even be compared with geniuses like Uchiha Sasuke and Hyuga Neji.

Although not many people know how terrible the Sage Mode is, Shiho, who once interned in the Code Department for a long time and handled a lot of paperwork, naturally knows some information that outsiders don't know.

"It's settled then. Please let me help you!"

"Very good, you are indeed an excellent female ninja. I'm sure you will attract the attention of many male ninjas!"

Shuimu buried his head in documents again.

Ninjas in love are also human beings, and female ninjas are also girls. Once love is involved, their IQs drop to an outrageous level. Simple lies like stick and honey can make Shiho work hard, and Mizuki is also very satisfied.

At this time, Shuimu was a little embarrassed about the transfer order in his hand. Considering the great effect of sealing techniques on Impure World Reincarnation, forming more powerful sealing techniques talents to concentrate on fighting the enemy was also put on the agenda early.

However, the captain of the sealing team was not Mizuki, but Shizune, who was trusted by Tsunade. Haruno Sakura, who was good at sealing techniques and barrier techniques, was assigned to the command center, dedicated to maintaining the barrier between the headquarters and each legion and assisting the long-distance communications of the sensing ninjas.

As for Mizuki, the temporary arrangement is to form a special team with Jiraiya and Mifune of the Land of Iron to serve as assassination vanguards.

Simply put, it is to use Mizuki's space-time ninjutsu and the powerful explosive power of the three people to behead the enemy's important characters.

What made Mizuki most embarrassed was that Kotsubaki, who had been promoted to special jonin, was assigned to the sealing squad led by Shizune as a squad leader.

With Xiaochun's ability, she is definitely qualified for such a position. The key is Shuimu's selfish mentality, as he always wants to keep Xiaochun away from danger.

The Sealing Squad is not safe. This legion is different from the heavily protected Medical Squad in the rear. The ones who need the Sealing Squad are definitely strong enemies that conventional tactics are unlikely to be effective against. One careless mistake will result in death in battle.

Moreover, the enemies that the Sealing Squad will face directly are likely to be the Impure World Reincarnation Army. Each of them was either a former Jinchūriki or a Kage of the top five ninja villages in their previous lives. There are also various S-rank rebel ninjas. People like the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist are considered easy to deal with.

Although Xiaochun is quite powerful, with a fairly proficient Sage Mode and an unknown powerful Kekkei Genkai, and plenty of experience in fighting enemies, there are too many unexpected situations on the battlefield, and accidents are inevitable. If Mizuki is not around, it would be bad if something dangerous happened.

"Does that mean that we need to arrange a physical clone to provide close protection?"

Thinking of this, Shuimu immediately shook his head and had no choice but to stamp the transfer order helplessly.

Mizumu, who is in charge of the Security Department, certainly has the power to reject this transfer order. With Mizumu's influence, this small thing can still be done.

However, Mizuki also has to consider Xiaochun's feelings. For a ninja who has studied ninjutsu for nearly thirty years, running away at the critical moment is a stain on his body.

Even if they were husband and wife, Shuimu would not really assign a personal bodyguard to Xiaochun. Even if he really did so, he would never let anyone know.

This naked distrust can be expressed as concern if it is put nicely, but contempt and disdain if it is put bluntly. There are some things that can be done, but some things cannot.

Xiaochun is a good wife and mother, but she is also a qualified Konoha ninja. On the battlefield, there is no room for too much personal affection.
