In the face of Mizuki's question, the indifferent Terai replied calmly: "We don't need you to know about our actions. "Root" is only responsible for Danzo-sama, and others have no right to govern us."

"Hokage can't control you either?"

"If Tsunade-sama is here, we will naturally report it truthfully!"

"That is to say, what you are going to do, even Hokage doesn't know?"

Terai couldn't deny Mizuki's aggressive question, so he could only remain silent.

"It seems that you don't obey Hokage, you just follow the orders of Danzo elders!"

The questioning that is pressing step by step has aroused the dissatisfaction of the "root" ninjas.

"What? Was it said? Get angry?"

Terai waved his hand and stopped the subordinates who were about to move.

"Shallow words will not interfere with our actions. It is the "root" led by Danzo-sama who walks in the darkness of Konoha to protect Konoha. Maybe you are powerful, but please believe that you are not ignoring our qualifications."

"Oh? Well, the tone is quite loud, but I don't know if the strength is as powerful as your mouth!" Mizuki looked at the several "gen" ninjas who were holding the hilt calmly, and the conversation changed. " However, whether you are strong or not is not something I need to worry about, as long as you don't get in the way, I don't bother to care what goals you are targeting!"

As soon as Shuimu's momentum was withdrawn, the tense atmosphere suddenly eased.

Terai didn't mean to turn his face on the spot: "It's so good, we will do what we need to do!"

Showing his attitude, but not mentioning irrelevant things at all, Mizuki also understands that he can't ask any news.

"That's the best, I hope Tsunade-sama won't be disappointed."

After finishing speaking, Shuimu explained the tasks, turned around and prepared to leave.

"That's right." Mizuki seemed to suddenly remember something, and turned around and said, "You may not understand the effect of transforming the enchantment. If there is any inappropriate action, it is best to consider whether you can hide it from me."

Looking at the back of Shuimu's departure, the oil girl behind him asked aloud, "What should I do? Do you still have to carry out the task of arresting?"

Terai thought for a while and then ordered: "This is his territory, and we have no advantage. Before there is an order, don't startle the snake. The other tasks are as planned."

Although Shui Mu's last words were only threats, even if it was a bluff, people had to guard against it. No one knew whether Shui Mu did anything in the transformation of the death forest barrier.

...

Outside the forest of death, just after coming from the warm spring barrier to the cold and windy field, Shuimu couldn't help but tighten his tight collar.

"It didn't hurt me the first time, and the attitude wasn't tough. Is it because I wasn't sure, or was it confusing me? 』

Danzo and its subordinate "root", who have always shown a tough stance, prefer to use force to directly achieve the desired results. Of course, when it's difficult to do it, I don't mind using a little trick. The suicide of Konoha Baiya Hatake Sakumo and the defection of Orochimaru, one of the "Three Endurances", may not be without Shimura Dan hiding in it to help fuel the flames. Regardless of strength, facing Mizuki, whose prestige is far inferior to Hatake Sakumo and Orochimaru, he didn't even have a decent test of force, which made Mizuki have to care.

A lot of "root" ninjas have come this time, but it is basically impossible to steal Mizuki silently. A few months ago, he used illusion on Xiao Tsubaki. Although he kept it secret, the two must have been torn apart. What shows the enemy to be weak. Both emptiness and ignorance are useless. That is to say, it is really uncertain.

If it is a bit difficult to take down Mizuki with ordinary force, if Danzo is willing to take action himself, there should be a good chance of success.

"Could it be that Danzo itself has a problem? Or is there an accident with "Bie Tianshen"? 』

This kind of speculation, which is not completely impossible, immediately made Shuimu invigorated. If the most feared threat no longer exists, then he will have the capital to compete in the chamber. If there is no cheating in the Shaking Eye Pupil Technique, and if he is reckless, Mizuki is not afraid at all. Even if you can't do it, you can find a few helpers.

"It seems that I need to check with the pharmacist, maybe there is some good news..."

Shui Mu, who made up his mind, suddenly felt that the desire to go out of the village was so strong, but the last time he made a deal with the pharmacist, in order to reassure him, he did not leave any clues for Shui Mu to take the initiative to contact him. .

...

In the next few days, Shui Mu suddenly swept away the depression in his heart. Since the imminent danger will not appear for the time being, Mizuki also feels a lot easier. Although there is still the possibility of miscalculation, Danzo did not appear for such a good opportunity, which means that he will be safe for a while.

As the Chunin Exams approached, Mizuki's mission gradually shifted to this side. As his most important job, the leader of the eighth class, Mizuki had to spend more time worrying about his three students. From Mizuki's point of view, Inuzuka Ya and Hinata Hinata are still some distance away from Chunin for the time being. But the fighting ability is not bad. The Chunin exam is not only a test, but also an opportunity to hone and improve oneself. It can be seen by looking at how much progress Destiny Child and his righteous partner have made after the Chunin exam last time.

"Mr. Shuimu, I haven't taken us out on missions recently. I'm really tired of making us do boring things like catching wild beasts."

After the training break, Inuzuka Ya routinely complained. Recently, Shino, the oil girl, was the leader, leading Ya and Hinada to take some genin tasks to complete. How many tasks can be suitable for genin in this winter day? Of course, most of them are preparing for the Chunin Exam. It's just that these Genin people don't know that every time they complete a task, it is equivalent to increasing the difficulty of their exams.

Mizuki looked at the dissatisfied Inuzuka Ya and said, "Is this kind of task difficult?"

"It's not difficult." Inuzuka Ya replied without hesitation.

"Since it's not difficult, why don't the three of you finish it by yourself? Do you want me to watch you to feel at ease?"

"Huh?" Inuzuka Ya was stunned by the question, and then he reacted and said, "I mean, can Mr. Mizuki take us to complete some advanced tasks, it's boring to always compete with wild beasts."

There are many beasts in the ninja world, and it is not uncommon for them to be stronger than ninjas, but their IQ is too low, and it is too easy to be tricked by cunning humans. Many times, they are killed without exerting their strength.
