The Hokage office, with the departure of Mizuki, calmed down. Tsunade and Mute, who are single women, have no experience in taking care of little girls. The two looked at Xiang Rin, who was a little nervous, not knowing where to start comforting.

After Shuimu left, Xiang Rin was not here, the only person who was more familiar with her, so she couldn't help but become more restless.

Seeing the atmosphere getting more and more awkward, Tsunade hurriedly coughed twice, signalling to mute to go up to make a clearance.

Mute had to listen to the orders of her immediate boss and master, and this little girl, with Mute's face that looked a little younger than her actual age, might be better at speaking.

"Don't be nervous." Mute said with a smile on his face: "We have no malicious intentions, it was just a misunderstanding before..."

Looking at Mute with an embarrassed smile on her face, Xiang Rin didn't answer the call. She has a secret skill - she is very sensitive to chakra and can easily judge whether a person is lying. perception. It is basically possible to know whether there is goodwill or malice towards a person.

Therefore, the attitude towards Tsunade and Mute, with the rapid change after the conversation with Mizuki, is also clearly understood. Although up to now, I still don't understand the "vortex family" in the three populations, but Xiang Rin, who has the strong luck to escape from the crisis, can still judge that his current situation has greatly improved. It's just because I'm not familiar with Tsunade and Mute, and I don't know how to respond. The current Xiang Rin is just a little girl who has been displaced, and is far from the strong and stubborn character three years later.

Seeing that Xiang Rin still didn't speak, Tsunade had to say to Mute: "Send it to the medical department for a good check, and you will make an identity registration for me later."

First, you need to carefully check the hidden dangers of the body, such as bans, illusions, and other problems, you need to verify them.

Watching Mute and Xiang Rin leave, Tsunade was left alone in the office. After thinking for a while, Tsunade took out a ninja profile from the drawer, and the photo on the cover was actually Mizuki who had left soon.

Tsunade quietly flipped through this document. There are many things in it, far more than the public information. As the first Junin who was promoted because of everyone's recommendation after Tsunade came back, it is impossible for Tsunade to have not done it. Careful investigation. After leaving Konoha for so many years, it is no longer what Tsunade looked like when Tsunade left. As the pillar of a village, how could he be promoted without careful investigation?

In this document, from the origin of Mizuki, the evaluation of the ninja school, the mediocrity of the genin period, the mediocrity of the long chunin period, and even a few obvious suspicious actions and serious mistakes in the task, so that they were severely criticized. severe punishment. Although he regained his trust later, even now, Tsunade has some information that Mizuki has not disclosed.

Among the most interesting points, the true function of the almighty potion and the purpose of its development are too few to be verified because the samples circulated are too few to be verified. There was also the time when Hyuga Hizu was dispatched to the sandy hidden village. From the simple and unclear words of Yuhika who woke up, it could be judged that Mizuki used a strange human puppet-like thing again. , turned the situation around in one fell swoop, thus persisting until the arrival of the rescue. Afterwards, Konoha's intelligence department also investigated a messy battlefield, but apart from the puppet fragments in one place, nothing useful was found at all. This matter was later dismissed due to the vacancy of Hokage. When Tsunade came back, times had changed, and the time for investigation had long passed.

Strictly speaking, ninja is actually such a profession, inquiring about the enemy's intelligence, increasing the probability of winning, hiding his trump card, and not letting the enemy know.

From this point of view, Shuimu is not a mistake, but there are some hidden things that are too shocking to the world, and even the thousand-year-old noble family - Hyuga is tempted.

Tsunade felt troubled when he saw the information that Mizuki and Hyuga Hizu had been in frequent exchanges recently. The big family and the ninjas of the Naruto family were too close, and then exerted too much influence. It was not a happy thing. Tsunade was also quite curious about things that even the well-informed Hinata clan was greedy for.

"Be sure to find an opportunity to explore the bottom. The powerful guy is either a rebellious one, or has all kinds of quirks, what have the three generations of old men done over the years? One by one the subordinates are so disobedient. 』

...

When Shui Mu returned home, he also felt annoyed and abnormal. He picked up the King Kong blockade and looked at it for a while, and found that he couldn't see it. As soon as he thought of the secret technique of the whirlpool family that needs to be studied, a ready-made whirlpool clan member came to the door, and Shuimu also felt that it was extremely unreal. Shui Mu also felt quite puzzled as to why Xiang Rin broke the agreement and came directly to find him. If there is a chance, he must ask carefully what this confused little girl did.

"But now? 』

In the end, Shuimu still kept the scroll on one side. Now it is too inefficient, so he can only look at other things. Moreover, there is a big discovery made by a copycat man Zhu Li two days ago that needs to be carefully thought about. It sounds a little unexpected, but it makes sense. The problem involved is nothing else, it is the technique of concealing clones that has been originally thought, but has been ignored.

The technique of stealth clone originated from the second generation Hokage Senju Tobirama. For a long time, everyone thought that the original intention of this development was to develop a clone-type ninjutsu for intelligence reconnaissance. The physical clone, the extension of the will, and the return of memory are really suitable for the reconnaissance mission of the ninja. The logic is self-consistent and perfect, without flaws, and the widely circulated news, almost no one doubts. But is this really the case?

A few months ago, Shuimu came up with a further physical avatar, the Shanzhairen Zhuli, based on the similar characteristics of the shadow avatar and the tailed beast being chakra aggregates. For a long time, Mizuki thought that this was just a coincidence in the ninja world, and it happened that the existence of shadow clones was similar to that of tailed beasts, and then it could be made into a degraded version similar to human Zhuli.

But according to the news from the copycat Zhu Li a few days ago, this is not the case at all.

"Sure enough, there are not so many coincidences in this world..."

Judging from the information obtained by Shanzhairen Zhuli, the shadow clone was not developed for the simple reason of reconnaissance. From the very beginning, the existence of shadow clones was imitating tailed beasts. In terms of existence, the technique of shadow clone is actually an imperfect simulation of the tailed beast without mastering the yin and yang escape.

This method of cottage is not the first creation of Mizuki, the ancestor of Qianshou Tobirama.

The human spirit is analogous to ten tails, and chakra is used to divide it into a physical clone similar to the nine-tailed beast, but because the ordinary chakra is too low, there is no supply of mental and physical strength, and it cannot last for long.

In Mizuki's view, it is understandable that ninjas use tailed beasts, or even imitate tailed beasts. It is a pity that the shadow avatar is only a semi-finished product after all. Qianshou Tobirama is not a human pillar, nor does it have any immortal mode, and there is no high-quality chakra energy for its experiments. At this point, he was attacked to death before he could perfect his ideas. The semi-finished product of the hidden clone left behind has almost changed the pattern of the ninja world. Until now, Mizuki has only initially figured out what the essence of this technique that makes Naruto Uzumaki so powerful is.

"If that's the case, then in fact, the most critical step was actually achieved by myself unknowingly. Human Zhuli clone, this road actually went the right way. 』

Originally, it was just a random thought and finally made a mistake, but I didn't expect that the principle and original intention coincided with the second generation Hokage Senju Tobirama. If Qianshou Tobirama had the omnipotent potion in Mizuki’s hand to make self-clones easily, or if biotechnology could reach the level of the current Orochimaru research, maybe this kind of copycat Zhuli would have appeared long ago, instead of waiting until Mizuki. to discover its value.

Although this kind of principle has not brought an improvement in strength to Mizuki at present, it has pointed out the direction of the development of Mizuki's power system in the future.

"Relying on the magic of chakra, imitating the existence of tailed beasts? That's right, it didn't go astray..."

Starting this kind of thing from the tailed beast does not seem to be the idea of ​​Mizuki alone. Starting with Shouhe may be the most successful adventure so far.

...

As it approached noon, instead of waiting for Xiao Chun to come, Xiang Rin arrived instead. Shui Mu, who had no choice but to bring Xiang Rin into the house, saw the little girl sitting a little uneasy, and Shui Mu also felt that she couldn't say anything to complain.

"Ah." Mizuki asked with a sigh, "Where is the place where Tsunade-sama arranged for you?"

"I don't know, there seems to be no arrangement."

"No." Shui Mu suddenly smiled bitterly, "Then where do you live?"

"Hokage-sama said, let me listen to the arrangements of Mizuki-sensei..."

"My arrangement?" Shuimu suddenly couldn't help laughing, "I have no place to arrange... Hey, no, I have a place..."

Mizuki suddenly remembered that he actually has a place, but in the end, this matter still needs to be discussed with Xiao Chun.

Looking at the incense sticks waiting for Shuimu to arrange, Shuimu asked, "What do you know? Do you have any specialties that can be used?"

"I don't know what else I can do except to treat the injury." Xiang Rin replied nervously, "I like to collect perfume, and I am extremely sensitive to the smell."

"Taste? Smell?" Mizuki nodded, "That's it, maybe it's useful..."

As Mizuki was talking, the door opened with a sound, and then he saw his fiancée Chie Chun walked in, and then he was surprised to see Xiang Rin sitting in a daze.
