Although the process is dangerous, in fact, if you deal with it properly, you still have a good chance of getting through it. This shows the advantage of an all-round ninja. As long as you prepare early and have a good tactical mind, you can always find a suitable way to solve the problem. Therefore, the ninja without weaknesses is the ninja with the highest survival rate.

"The enemy retreated so easily?" Without Mizuki's perception and intelligence advantage, Uchiha Sasuke had no idea how powerful the enemy was outside just now. He walked to the gates of hell without realizing it.

"The enemies are all injured or out of shape. There are still pursuers from the village behind us. It is unwise to fight us head-on. It is normal for them to retreat."

In fact, after meeting Uchiha Sasuke several times, Mizuki was very disappointed with Sasuke. Uchiha Itachi was right, Sasuke lacked the tolerance of a strong man. Even though he did have talent, bloodline, and was taught by a famous teacher, the attitude he showed was only arrogance, hatred, and impatience. He could not judge his own strength, nor did he have the ability to accurately judge the strength of his enemies. He was jealous of Uzumaki Naruto who came from behind, but turned a blind eye to Naruto's efforts. The fate of love and hate is a nice way to put it, to put it bluntly, it is just a refusal to admit defeat.

Mizuki didn't intend to interfere too much with this so-called avenger who still had a childish mind. Sasuke was really far worse than Naruto now. At least Naruto had a clear goal and worked hard step by step, but Sasuke always relied on his talent and fantasized about reaching the sky in one step.

Although Mizuki didn't like Uchiha Sasuke, he never thought of changing anything. The Uchiha clan, which inherited the Sage's Eye, has the most powerful bloodline limit, the Sharingan, which is extremely biased towards the Yin attribute and relies heavily on spiritual power. Therefore, for the Uchiha clan, the more paranoid they are, the more powerful the Sharingan will be. Only the mental fluctuations brought about by extreme emotions can open the Mangekyō Sharingan. In Mizuki's view, this inexplicable way of evolving bloodline limits is actually only one step away from going astray. Killing one's relatives to prove one's truth is simply unreasonable.

Even so, Mizuki never thought of correcting all this. The ninja family that has been passed down from the Warring States period has its own reasons for existence. Mizuki may not like it, but he will not criticize other people's way of life, nor does he want to say anything about it. In the end, it has nothing to do with him. And this time, he was just fulfilling his duty as a Konoha Chunin and ninja teacher to protect the younger generation.

Sasuke nodded after hearing Mizuki's explanation, "Where are we going next?"

"You go and meet up with Sakura, and then go back to the village. Remember, after you return to the village, don't trust anyone except Teacher Kakashi, especially you..."

Without the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen to suppress a bunch of evil spirits, no one knows what will happen. Mizuki no longer dares to fully trust his memory of the plot.

"Always remind yourself that the original memory is becoming less and less reliable. This is not an anime story, but a real world."

"Only Kakashi-sensei?" Sasuke asked, puzzled by Mizuki's instructions, "Can't even the Third Hokage be trusted?"

"You will know soon..." Mizuki handed Sasuke a sealing talisman, "Stick this on your forehead and concentrate, it will avoid interference from the illusion barrier."

"Aren't we going together?"

Shuimu shook his head and said, "You guys go back first, be careful on the road, I still have a mission."

After being sorted out by the pursuing troops on the road, I thought the danger should not be too great, and I do have something to do.

Watching Uchiha Sasuke walk away, Shuimu turned to the empty shadow and said, "Everyone has left, why don't you come out?"

"I can't hide it from you." A figure appeared out of nowhere.

"This level of illusion can only fool children. What do you want from me? And don't wear that ridiculous mask in front of me, Kabuto..."

The figure took off the mask on his face, revealing the face of Kabuto Yakushi who should have left long ago.

"You've been giving us constant surprises lately." Yakushi Kabuto adjusted his glasses and said with a smile, "Although it's hard to get information about Konoha now, I still learned a lot. It was you who saved Gekko Gale, right? We suffered a great loss..."

"You're not just saying this, are you? How did you guess that it was me?"

"We just met not long ago, right? It's easy to do something. You hit me hard and it hurt me so much." Pharmacist Kabuto touched his forehead with lingering fear, "But I'm still a little surprised that you didn't send someone to catch me!"

Shuimu sneered disdainfully: "Are you laughing at my stupidity? You're letting others know that I have a connection with you because of a shadow clone? This is a turbulent time, and I don't want to get into any trouble for a worthless shadow clone like yours."

"Okay, what you said makes sense, so guess what I want to talk to you about?"

"Guess? I'm not that free. If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. It's not like I need anything from you right now."

Pharmacist Kabuto shrugged helplessly: "You are so polite. After all, we were once companions..."

"Don't try to get close to me. Who is your companion?" Shuimu interrupted Yakushi Kabuto rudely, "It seems that you have something to ask of me. Tell me about it. Also, have you prepared a reward that will tempt me?"

"Your green potion, combined with the mental sealing technique that saved Moonlight Gale, seems to be called a soul gathering array, right?"

"You know the name?" Shuimu was shocked. "It seems that your intelligence ability is really pervasive."

"We will eventually know what we should know." Yakushi Kabuto smiled gently.

"What's the reward?"

The effect of the almighty potion was very good when it was demonstrated on Gekko Gale, which made Kabuto Yakushi tempted. Especially since the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen, who didn't know Mizuki's true form, also used the almighty potion, the shocking effect was amazing.

Any kind of spiritual secret technique like the Soul Gathering Array is of great value, especially those that have been verified in practice, which makes people even more eager.

Hearing what Shuimu said, Yakushi Kabuto replied calmly: "Forbidden Technique Impure World Reincarnation, what do you think? Do you need me to tell you about its effects?"

"No, I know..." After hearing what Kabuto Yakushi said about the reward, even though he knew the price would not be low, it was too exaggerated to exchange it directly for the Impure World Reincarnation.

"Is there something else going on that I don't know?"

Mizuki had no hope of learning the forbidden technique of Impure World Reincarnation. With no connections or support, unless he became Hokage, his chances of being able to learn it were almost zero.

However, Shuimu is not really interested in the Impure World Reincarnation. One reason is that the need for human sacrifices goes against his own moral values. Another reason is that he is not confident about the Impure World Reincarnation itself. The Impure World Reincarnation is essentially a kind of spiritualism. It is still unknown what the problem is with this dangerous act of summoning the souls of the dead from the Pure Land. In the original work, everyone who used the Impure World Reincarnation died, or at least died once. Although I can't explain why, I always feel that there is something wrong with it. Of course, it would be great if I could take it back and study it myself, but I would not be so satisfied with the reward.

"I don't want Impure World Reincarnation." Since the other party was so generous, Shuimu also began to bargain, "I want the Flying Thunder God Technique and a full set of Curse Sealing Techniques, one for the other."

"Huh?" Hearing Mizuki's words, Yakushi Kabuto was stunned, "This is impossible, it's too outrageous."

"I'm not the one asking for a deal, you guys are the ones who came to me..."

"We can't do that." Yakushi Kabuto refused.

"Impossible? It's impossible?" Mizuki was puzzled at first, then suddenly realized, "So that's it, it's not Orochimaru who wants to make a deal, but you are interested in my things, right?"

Even though they were rivals, Shuimu had to admire Yakushi Kabuto's vision. But even though he admired him, he would not give in to the price, and might even raise it a little more.

"I let it slip accidentally, and it was discovered right away." Pharmacist Kabuto couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Of Konoha's forbidden techniques, except for the Shiki Fuujin, which was passed down from Uzumaki Kushina to the fourth generation Minato Namikaze, and then to Konoha, Orochimaru may not know about it, but it is impossible for Orochimaru to not know about the others. It is only a question of willingness or not, it is absolutely impossible that he cannot do it. So it is very likely that it was a restless guy like Kabuto Yakushi who acted on his own initiative. The Impure World Reincarnation Kabuto Yakushi must be familiar with it, otherwise he would not have made such a big fuss three years later. And he can only use this only bargaining chip to get Mizuki's secret technique.

"No wonder you came to me secretly in such a sneaky way, it turns out you wanted to do some private work."

"Get ready to cheat with enough chips, Kabuto, and I'll leave you alone." While Kabuto was distracted, he shot a kunai through the shadow clone's head...

In the distance, Kabuto Yakushi, who was helping Orochimaru escape, suddenly changed his expression.

"What's wrong, Kabuto?" Orochimaru, who was close at hand, immediately sensed something was wrong.

"It's nothing, Lord Orochimaru. The remaining shadow clone has been killed."

"Well, forget about the little things and speed up."

"Failed? What a pity. Is it really true that I can only research it on my own?" Yakushi Kabuto thought regretfully.
