"Sure enough, as the New Year comes, there are many familiar faces of Konoha. 』

On the way home, Shui Mu had already greeted several people who passed by. It seems that people who are rarely seen at ordinary times can get together, but no, there are Yamashiro Aoba and Shiranui Xuanjian in front of them.

"Shui Mu, long time no see!" Shancheng Qingye greeted Shui Mu from afar.

"It's been a long time since I saw you. I've been too busy recently."

"I heard, the Chunin exam, we are about to be driven crazy by Tsunade-sama, the endless tasks." Yamashiro Aoba also showed an exaggerated expression.

Shui Mu smiled and replied, "You're going to tell such a bad joke too? I thought only Hurricane would do such a thing. What are you and Xuanjian going for?"

"Let's go to Yebisu and Peizu to have a drink!"

"You guys go drinking? It's really relaxing. I went to Taki Ninja Village, and I was frozen to death. I just came back today!"

"Oh, that means you're free now? Would you like to go for a drink together?"

"No, I have to go home first." Mizuki said politely.

"I almost forgot, you are different from us, you are a family man."

Yamashiro Aoba's pretentious expression made both Shiranui Xuanjian and Mizuki smile.

"Next time, I've been away from home a lot lately, so I want to spend more time with Xiao Chun, sorry."

"Understood. This time we are just a hard-working exchange between like-minded people." Yamashiro Aoba said in a low voice: "Actually, I, Genma and Lei Tong will be leading teachers next year to teach newly graduated Genin, so I just I want to talk to an experienced teacher like Ebisu!"

"Then you will be busy in the future."

In particular, Shang-Nin is also Shang-Nin, and the ability and qualifications to teach new people from lower-Ninth are not a problem.

"Yeah," Yamashiro Qingye sighed and said, "Don't talk about it, let's talk later, the appointed time is coming soon."

Saying goodbye to Yamashiro Aoba and Shiranui Genma, Mizuki accelerated the pace of returning home.

"I always feel that the character of Yamashiro Aoba, who has been idle, is getting more and more broken, and the movements and expressions are much more exaggerated than before. Could it be that it was also influenced by me? 』

...

When Shuimu returned home, it was still early, and Xiao Chun was staying at home. Surprisingly, not only Xiao Chun was alone at home, but Xiang Rin was also there. When Shuimu pushed the door in, the two were making dinner.

"Senior Shuimu, are you back?"

"It's Xiang Rin, I haven't seen you for a while, and he seems to have grown a lot taller!"

As Mizuki said, he walked into the back room and put away the things he was carrying.

"It's time to come back, it's almost time to eat. Is the mission still going well?"

"It's quite ordinary, nothing special, it's just too far away, it's just a waste of time!" Shuimu turned around and walked into the bathroom, simply took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and prepared to eat.

The three of them sat at the same table for dinner, which had happened once or twice before, but this time, Xiang Rin was not as restrained as before.

Xiao Chun said with a smile: "Shui Mu, when you were away, Xiang Rin also occasionally came over to talk to me, but it didn't seem boring. By the way, your disciple Xiao Ying came twice, but you weren't there."

"Sakura, it shouldn't be a big problem. There should be a clone of me in the flower shop. If there is any trouble, it should be able to solve it."

When Xiao Ying came, there should be some problems in her practice that needed to be answered. After all, the techniques that Mizuki gave her were not so easy to master.

In comparison, the eye-catching red-haired Xiang Rin came more often. Although the relationship with Haruno Sakura and Yamanaka Ino is not bad, it is impossible for Xiang Rin, who is alone, to go to their house to disturb them all the time. There is also a quiet home that takes good care of Xiang Rin, which is also a very good place, but as the assistant of the fifth-generation Hokage, she has too many things to do and doesn't have much time to take care of this little sister.

Therefore, Xiao Chun, who has been with each other for a long time and knows each other, is the most suitable for people who often come to nagging Xiang Rin. Just like what I said when I was chatting in the hospital last time, Xiang Rin would come to Shuimu's house to help when she had time. And when Xiao Chun is bored, it is also a good thing to have someone to accompany him.

"Xiang Rin, you are really cheerful! 』

At the dinner table, Mizuki and Xiaochun ate quietly, but Xiang Rin, who was timid, began to chatter about interesting things about his work, the satisfaction of helping others with medical ninjutsu, and the feeling of being needed by others. The joy of blending into Konoha was vividly displayed on her smiling face.

Mizuki watched the little red-haired girl gradually reveal the temperament that a child of this age should have, and couldn't help but sigh. Konoha's long-standing values ​​are still very friendly. The will of fire to promote love and justice, and the consistent overlord attitude of the ninja world have created the pride and self-confidence of Konoha ninjas. The mentality is completely different, xenophobic, arrogant, and serene is the portrayal of those people.

In Mizuki's eyes, if Taki Shinobi is still barely maintaining the decency of the strong, the other small Shinobi villages are just those who are struggling to survive. If you can't take care of yourself, how can you have a good impression of the outsiders who take refuge in? It's not uncommon for them to be drained of their value and then thrown away.

Only in Konoha, who is responsible for maintaining the order of the ninja world, will he have an eclectic bearing, not only because of the great value of the whirlpool family adapting to the human body, but also because of the confidence that he can accept and influence the world, even if it is other The Four Great Ninja Villages wouldn't have the power of Konoha.

Jiraiya can also teach Yahiko, Nagato and Konan for several years. Even if he saw Nagato's Samsara Eye, he did not wait to bring Konoha back, but let him grow up freely. If it is in other Ninja villages, this is simply impossible. Privately teach ninjas in other Ninja villages and accept them as disciples. Seriously, they may be identified as betrayal. There is also the pharmacist pocket. If the pharmacist Ye Naiyu hadn't died, this clever genius ninja might have become the pillar of Konoha.

"It's really nice to bring Xiang Rin to Konoha Village. 』

To save beautiful affairs from disaster, Shuimu, who has a lot of affairs, will not deliberately force it, but it is a good thing to do it smoothly.

"Listen to me, Senior Mizuki, Sister Tsubaki..." Xiang Rin couldn't help showing off: "Senior Mute told me that if I continue to perform well, I will become an official Konoha ninja in a while! "

"Really!" Xiao Chun was particularly happy with Xiang Rin's change, "You did a good job. After you get the forehead protector, you must put it on and let me see it."

"Yeah." Xiang Rin nodded in agreement.
