After killing the ghost lamp Shuiyue, Shuimu immediately returned to Yunyin Village.

Next, Mizuki did not directly participate in the action of chasing and killing Chongwu, but only checked the results of the processing of the entity clone through spiritual connection.

In contrast, the incarnation of Chonggo, who is a murderer, is much more fierce than the ghost.

In addition to the fact that Mizuki's body was not present, the biggest reason was that the cursed Chonggo was better at dealing with "inhumans", rather than using ordinary sword techniques to show his strength in front of the weak.

In the state of incantation, Chongwu's recovery ability and instant explosive power left a deep impression on Shuimu.

Especially the gun barrel formed by the alienated arm and the continuous chakra shells fired are surprisingly powerful. If space ninjutsu can escape the attack range at any time, maybe the physical clone will also suffer serious injuries.

Comparing the resumes of these two people, Chongwu is kind-hearted and simple-minded, and is a person who can live in harmony with nature; while Guideng Shuiyue is a child prodigy who has been called "the rebirth of ghosts" since childhood, and has a strong sense of "cutting off". His perseverance and brutal fighting methods, many of the enemies who were defeated by him were cut off and then beheaded by him.

But in fact, Chongwu killed far more people than the ghost lights and water moon. Although it was because the curse mark ran rampant and killed people out of control, the fault could not change the fact that he committed countless unforgivable sins.

Ninjas are rarely flawless, faultless, and more or less deadly.

"Master Okusuke, as a samurai, what do you think about murder?"

"Loyalty to peace, man and knife are one, indomitable, no regrets in nine deaths!"

Well, asking these dumb-brained warriors is a shame.

"Is that what it means to kill someone who should be killed for the sake of ideals and goals?"

"almost!"

Okisuke nodded,

"This is the teaching of Mifune-sama. The samurai relies on faith to persevere in practice, hone themselves, and explore their possible existence. Now our goal is to defend peace!"

The answer did not exceed Mizuki's expectations.

Killing for justice, faith, truth, help, partner, friend, self-defense, or even revenge, in essence, doesn't make much of a difference.

Nagato chose to kill in order to eliminate pain and war; Uchiha Obito killed the world for love; Uchiha Madara killed countless people for peace in the ninja world, in order to escape into the illusion to avoid pain.

Killing not for oneself, but for others, for justice, is just an excuse and a means to justify self-behavior.

What about Mizuki himself?

Self-preservation, family, friendship?

Have it all!

salvation?

This may be, people are always dissatisfied, and will always unconsciously pursue a higher level of self-satisfaction.

But one thing is certain, Mizuki will never kill or be killed for the so-called ideals of others.

The powerhouses who can reach the top of the ninja world are those who have ideas and the power to impose their will on others.

If you want to not be a victim of other people's dreams, you have to kill people who conflict with your own goals.

Now that you have stepped onto this stage, there is no way out.

"I'm going to be stronger! 』

Thinking of this, Mizuki unconsciously laughed!

"Your Excellency Mizuki, do you have a different opinion on my opinion?"

Okusuke asked Mizuki, who didn't agree with him, with some displeasure.

"Ah, sorry, I'm rude, I didn't mean to laugh at the way of the samurai, but I just couldn't help thinking of some past events."

In contrast, people like these elm-headed samurai or Uzumaki Naruto are even more envied by Mizuki, who can have no doubts about their beliefs, which is an incredible talent in the ninja world.

Okusuke didn't delve into Mizuki's explanation. There was some inconsistency in philosophy between samurai and ninjas.

"This mission, we failed, and Raikage still hasn't changed his mind. Shouldn't it be time to leave?"

"Ah, um! It's been too long indeed."

Two days ago, Shuimu felt a familiar and powerful chakra wave entering Yunyin Village.

Soon after, he left again without knowing where to go.

Not only that, Darui has been in contact with Shuimu many times abnormally in the past two days, and seems to want to get some information.

However, Mizuki didn't care much. There are very few people in the ninja world who can grasp Mizuki's handle. In my impression, there are no people in Yunyin Village who deserve special attention.

There are people who can distinguish the physical clone from the main body, but the ninjas who are watching from a distance do not have this ability, and the two samurai are even more ignorant.

After Mizuki returned, it would be impossible to find any clues.

"Since Yunyin Village is not very enthusiastic, let's forget it this time. The kindness that comes to the door is always ignored."

"Well, even if it's just throwing stones to ask for directions this time, there will be opportunities to deal with them in the future!"

The country of iron, as the middle man, is the main force in the negotiation, and Shuimu will not have much to do. Now is not the time to communicate with Yunyin Village in depth.

...

A week later, Mizuki, who walked out of the border of the Land of Thunder, said goodbye to Okusuke and Rikakaku. He didn't use the Flying Thunder God technique to return, but just like an ordinary traveling ninja, it took a long time to return to the wood. Leaf Village.

After submitting the mission report to Tsunade for the first time, he routinely answered some questions. At the same time, hand in the body of Shigego, the proof of mission completion, and the mission is over. As for the ghost lights and water moon, there are only two long swords that have been completely scrapped, and the Mist Ninja Rebellion Ninja Forehead, which has been melted by the flames and almost indistinguishable from its original appearance.

"The weird-looking corpses have changed beyond recognition, and these personal relics are also difficult to identify. It's not difficult to say that there are no bones left, right?"

Tsunade complained a few words at random.

"I didn't hold back all of a sudden, sorry!"

"Forget it, I sent you here just to be on the safe side. Since I didn't meet a key person, that's all I can do."

Several key members who were targeted did not appear, and the importance of the mission plummeted. It was the accompanying mission mission that Raikage did not categorically refuse, but instead showed signs of hesitation, which was a pleasant surprise.

As long as the task is completed, Shuimu is not a waste of money.

"I take the liberty to ask, is Lord Jiraiya back?"

Tsunade shook his head.

"It's all this time, it should be almost the same, and I don't know what he's dawdling with..."

In the blink of an eye, it's summer again, the days of careless preparation are over, and the protagonist is almost in place.
