This is the third time I have seen snow in Konoha, and this winter is a little colder than ever.

When Mizuki finally locked the door of the office and walked out of the gate of the police department, it snowed again outside.

The cold air from the shop made Shui Mu once again have the idea of ​​using the Flying Thunder God technique to go home directly, but after thinking about it, he gave up this plan.

There has been a growing sense of disconnection from the world lately.

This is not unfounded. Since there is a convenient time and space ninjutsu, the convenience of being able to do everything directly to the destination is indeed very good, but some practical problems caused by this cannot be ignored.

No one can know exactly where Mizuki is, and when there is nothing important, almost no one thinks of Mizuki.

Even Tsubaki sometimes feels no surprise at his sudden appearance.

Basically, Shuimu is detached from everyone's consciousness, which is different from the neglect caused by position, personality, etc., more like an unconscious alienation of people who are different from the norm.

Aware of this problem, Mizuki began to change his lifestyle.

It's not particularly urgent, Mizuki will no longer use the Flying Thunder God technique for short distance travel.

Even if it is really necessary, try to disappear suddenly in unnoticed corners to avoid making people feel like they are different.

"It's really hard to change the habit, for such a long time, I still want to be lazy! 』

Mizuki laughed at himself, stepping on the snow that sank into the ankle, and strolling home in the heavy snow of goose feathers flying in the sky.

Like Shuimu who was driving in the snow, I saw a lot of Shuimu along the way. From time to time, a daredevil fell on the slippery road, and even a guy hit the shoulder of Shuimu who was passing by.

In addition, Mizuki also saw a red-faced drunk who stumbled to the side of the road and was rescued by two members of the security department on duty.

On the freezing days, most people stay at home, but the famous Yile Ramen remains open. In the corner of the store, you can also see a little snowman full of childishness, which may be a prank of a naughty kid.

"When the snow stops, you can also bring Xiao Meiyuki out to build a snowman! 』

Mizuki smiled, lifted the curtain and walked in...

"Welcome... Hey, this guest, it's been a long time!"

Mizuki randomly found a seat and sat down:

"Uncle's business is not good either!"

"It's normal that the weather is bad, especially after some noisy guys don't come often, I feel a lot of deserted!"

This should be referring to Naruto Uzumaki, who will be back in a few months.

"Still want seafood udon?"

"Well, if you have one, get a copy and pack it! Uncle, you have such a good memory, it's hard to do business without a hit!"

I still remember the dishes made by Shuimu two years ago. It's not easy. Most people can remember how it looked.

"Borrow your auspicious words!"

The hand beat uncle turned his head and shouted inside,

"Acorus, the materials are ready!"

…

When Mizuki returned home, the top of his head and his shoulders were already covered with a layer of snow.

"It's still warm at home! 』

No amount of experience can change people's nature of coveting comfort. Staying with wives and daughters is always more pleasant than boring practice and work.

But ninjas are a profession that sells force after all. It is precisely because they know the cruelty of war that they understand the value of peace even more, and they yearn for stronger power to protect this hard-won peace.

"I told you a while ago, what happened to the practice?"

It's been a few months, and I don't know if there is any clue about letting Xiao Tsubaki spend more time on ninjutsu practice.

"There is nothing left, but I always feel that I have not made much progress!"

"Um!"

Mizuki responded.

For ninjas who have grown up, this is the norm, and it is basically impossible to have the phenomenon of rapid growth in strength during the growth period.

"You look at this?"

Mizuki took out a scroll and handed it over.

"What is this... a psychic contract?"

Xiao Chun thought for a moment that Mizuki brought out some new psychic beast,

"Your giant bear is very useful and can help a lot. There is also the spiritual power provided by a large group of jellyfish, which is also very beneficial to sealing. The others are not needed much."

"This is different!"

Mizuki smiled and shook his head,

"You try it first!"

Xiao Tsubaki bit his index finger suspiciously, pressed his handprint, and quietly experienced the changes in his body!

"what is this?"

After realizing that something existed, Xiao Tsubaki made a seal on his hands, and then a cloud of crimson chakra poured out, instantly wrapping Xiao Tsubaki's whole body.

"You take control and see."

Xiao Tsubaki released his perception according to his words, trying hard to change the form of these red chakras.

"Why is it so hard to control?"

Although the ability to finely control chakras is insufficient, those who can understand the boundaries of bleeding and follow-up on their own can only slightly shake the chakra that wraps themselves like a burning red flame!

"It looks like the contract was successful."

Mizuki nodded.

Whether it is possible to use the sealed half-tailed beast as the main body of the psychic, Shuimu can't guarantee success, and it is great that there is no problem in the end.

"I will have time to practice controlling this kind of chakra in the future. If it can reach this level, it will be considered a success."

Mizuki said, spread out his left hand, a group of crimson tailed beast chakra appeared in the palm, then quickly condensed and contracted to form a rotating chakra ball, and finally turned into a golden yellow spiral pill covered with black seal patterns.

"Magic Dun Spiral Pill, if this step can be achieved, it should be almost the same."

From now on, there will be nearly a year before Payne attacks Konoha Village, and it is uncertain to what extent Tsubaki can practice.

But as long as you can passively form chakra, some more dangerous ninjutsu can be safely used by Tsubaki.

The improvement of combat effectiveness is second, and better self-protection ability is the most important.

As for feeling the natural energy freely or even turning on the immortal mode, Shuimu doesn't count on it, just let it go!

"Is this the tailed beast Chakra, but why does it feel so gentle?"

Most of the ninjas who have experienced the nine-tailed attack on the village have some specious intuition about the tailed beast, and Tsubaki knows that it is not surprising.

"I tame a tailed beast clone."

"what…"

Although I knew that Mizuki was very strong, I didn't expect that the thing I took out was actually the tailed beast Chakra.

"I will practice hard!"

It was agreed that we would face the future together, but the feeling of being left far behind made Xiao Chun a little disappointed.

"Don't worry too much, it's impossible to practice overnight!"

"Tell me this at this time, isn't the danger that has been worrying you not far away?"

"That's about it!"
