There are not many red tapes in the New Year of the ninja world. In the days when the new and old are approaching, most of the people in the village have begun to take vacations. Only a few necessary positions for maintaining safety are still busy, and most of the ninjas no longer go out and perform tasks.

The Security Department is similar. Except for leaving a few people to rotate, there are not too many things to deal with. In this rare relaxing day of the year, no one will ask for trouble and be taken to the Security Department to finish. new year.

As for Mizuki, as the only senior cadre in the garrison, he had to play a leading role. On the last day of the old year, he had to sit for a long time, and the rest of the time was left to Kakashi, who was not burdened by family affairs. As confident as Mizuki.

In addition, at this time, Nara Shikamaru, who is an assistant, is still busy, and it is not lonely to have a chat with someone.

In fact, Shuimu stopped occasionally, just to experience the feelings and memories of several clones. This is also a routine for Shuimu every once in a while.

Sitting on Kakashi's office chair, Mizuki was about to fall asleep after a while.

"This chair seems to be much more comfortable than mine. Could it be that the treatment at the high-level is so much better? 』

The cranky Mizuki was passing the time when he suddenly heard an inquiry from the side.

"Hey, Mizuki-sensei..."

"What's up?"

Mizuki opened his squinted eyes and glanced at Shikamaru Nara who was working at a desk not far away.

"The Chunin exam, I have some questions that I don't understand..."

"What, are you stressed?"

Among the new generation of ninjas, the genius who was the first to be promoted to Chunin, with unparalleled intelligence, is already a new force emerging in the village.

In the Chunin exams a year later, Nara Shikamaru has been appointed as the examiner for the first exam. This is also the first time a new generation of ninjas have taken the lead, which is enough to prove that Konoha values ​​him highly.

Nara Shikamaru hesitated,

"It's not too stressful. There are some doubts that I can't figure out."

Organized the wording, then said cautiously,

"About the criteria for Chunin selection, I don't know what to pay attention to? I always feel like I can't find a clue!"

"That question!"

Shui Muqiang sat up, picked up the cold teacup on the table, took a sip and cleared his throat,

"It's normal if you don't understand. This is not something that can be understood by ingenuity. Only by truly understanding the connotation of the ninja profession and knowing what Ninja is, can you understand the meaning of these methods. This requires enough life experience!"

"Nindao, experience?"

Shikamaru was a little confused and didn't understand what Mizuki wanted to say!

"So, do you think that in ninja education, the ninja way is just empty talk, or that the ninja manual is just a simple norm?"

Some things, simple-minded people like Uzumaki Naruto may understand more thoroughly, but a smart guy like Nara Shikamaru can't grasp the point because he thinks too much.

"Let's put it this way, let me ask you a question first. Do you think those who were eliminated in the first round of the Chunin Exam are not qualified to be Chunin? Think carefully before answering!"

What kind of person is not qualified to be promoted to Chunin when Morinai Ibiki said that Ebisu directly announced that those who did certain behaviors were eliminated.

Although the screening rules of the two are different, the connotations are actually similar. In essence, their ninjas are almost the same. This is not incomprehensible. They are classmates of similar age, received similar ninja education, and were promoted to Chunin at almost the same time, resulting in a similar outlook on life in the end.

After thinking for a while, Nara Shikamaru said: "The Genin who can be sent to take the Chunin exam must be the best in each village for a period of time, their strength and temperament will never be too bad, they are not unqualified for promotion. Chunin, the real reason is that they are not the chunin we want."

"You're very smart, and you can see through it. If my students can be as quick-witted as you, I can save a lot of trouble."

No wonder Asma often complained that being a teacher at Shikamaru in Nara was a lot of pressure. After a long time, she felt that there was nothing to teach. It was easy and easy, and the sense of accomplishment as a teacher would be greatly reduced.

"Ninja has never been a profession that follows the rules. Different periods have different requirements for ninjas."

Shuimu paused, as if recalling some past events,

"Tell you a story, Hatake Sakumo, Hatake Kakashi's father, do you know?"

Shikamaru nodded,

"The famous Konoha White Fang."

"It's good to know, I'll just talk about some things. The famous Konoha hero is not guaranteed in the evening. In order to save his companions, he gave up the mission, which led to the failure of the mission. The village suffered heavy losses. Even the rescued companion didn't agree with this choice, and finally Hatake Sakumo couldn't stand the pressure and committed suicide in anger!"

"This was a special request for a ninja during the years of war and chaos at the time. It seems a little out of place at present. Candidates who agree and hold this concept have been taking the chunin exam under Ibiki and Ebisu. Can't get through."

"After Hatake Sakumo committed suicide, the third generation regretted that he did not support and encourage him when he needed solidarity, which led to such a sad result. In fact, apart from the unpredictable and tragic consequences that may result from the failure of the mission, Hagi Ki Sakumo's behavior has nothing to do with right or wrong, it's just a choice of human nature. Although ninjas keep saying that they are tools to complete tasks, no matter what, we are also flesh and blood people."

"Konoha Baiya's behavior is not wrong, and those who use words to kill him are not evil. It is a dilemma to save one person or a group of people. For ninjas, this dilemma has always been played out. So how should the future develop? , it's up to you to decide."

Nara Shikamaru listened to Mizuki's words, pondered for a while and then said:

"Standards and means are irrelevant. The important thing is to select the ninjas I agree with. I understand."

Why are the examiners who hold the Chunin Exams generally young, because they are the key to determining the future direction of ninja ideology.

"As long as you know!"

After talking for a long time, Shuimu lost all sleepiness, stretched his waist and stood up,

"I still have something to do, so I'll go first, and when Kakashi comes, say hello to me and say hello!"

"Understood, Mr. Mizuki is teaching by words and deeds. Ninjas cannot judge by common sense. No rules are as important as people's hearts."

With an embarrassing evaluation, Mizuki left the Security Department with a depressed look on his face.
