Instructor Mizuki, who was responsible for assessing graduating ninjas together with Iruka, looked at the group of children in front of him with his usual smile.
Of course, what he focused on was Naruto Uzumaki, who was at the end of the assessment team.
Since the major ninja clans in Konoha Village monopolize information channels, civilian ninjas such as Mizuki have no idea of Naruto's identity.
So to Mizuki, Naruto is a special child.
As the Jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi….
Almost every ninja knows this, and even businessmen who often travel around the world know it very well.
Tailed beasts are not a secret in the ninja world. They are connected with the demon fox. Even people like Mizuki who have blocked information channels know that Naruto is the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki.
But Mizuki still doesn't know why Naruto, the Jinchuuriki, is so popular?
It is true that almost all the civilian children in the ninja school dislike Naruto.
But Mizuki is not blind. Teachers in the ninja world are also utilitarian, and they will be as motivated as Konohamaru's tutors.
As a civilian teacher like Mizuki, he was still an ordinary chuunin. Of course he knew which children in the class had backgrounds that he could not afford to offend.
Not to mention Inozukacho, not to mention Hinata, not to mention the Inuzuka family monopolizing the ninja dog market in Konoha.
The jinchūriki, who was clearly hated by the children of civilian ninja families, had been having fun with the heirs of famous ninja clans.
What is Naruto's identity?
Mizuki didn't want to delve into Naruto's identity, he just wanted to use Naruto's identity!
Now he has an amazing plan to implement!
He wants to take refuge with Orochimaru!
That's right, it's the disciple of the Third Hokage, the rebellious ninja who has long since left Konoha Village, the cold Lord Orochimaru!
Mizuki knew very well that it would be difficult for civilian ninjas like him to rise again in today's Konoha Village!
Mizuki believed that he had talents far beyond his current level, but he never had access to various ninjutsu and secret techniques.
Whether it is a task system or a contribution system, in today's world without war, even if Mizuki tries his best, he still can't make enough achievements to exchange for enough ninjutsu!
What's more, after he became a chuunin, he was actually assigned to be a teacher in the ninja school!
In this way, he is getting further and further away from achieving enough achievements!
The ninjas hold on to all kinds of secret techniques, and the first one to bear the brunt is Inolu Die. It is clear that as long as their secret techniques are released a little bit, the cooperation system of each ninja team can be greatly increased!
But that is someone else's secret technique, and it is absolutely impossible to give it to the mud-legged people...
Although the second-generation Hokage did not have any self-respect and created hundreds of ninjutsu in succession, most of those ninjutsu were forbidden and could not be spread at all.
As for the Third Hokage, the reason why he is respected as the Ninjutsu Professor by the people in the village is because the Third Hokage compiled most of the commonly used Ninjutsu among the Five Releases and directly opened them to all Chuunin and Jōnin.
Looking at the major countries, there are very few Chuunin and Jonin masters of Ninjutsu like Konoha, and only the two countries of Thunder and Earth can slightly open up the Ninjutsu channels.
As for water and wind.
They just implemented the blood mist policy there, making the environment look like cannibalism, without any cover-up.
The other went on another path and began to vigorously develop puppet techniques to bypass the barriers created by various secret ninjutsus of the ninja clan for civilian ninjas.
But even so, the third Hokage can always use ordinary ninjutsu, and ordinary ninjutsu is the strongest for investigating carats.
During Mizuki's daily life, he couldn't help but feel that although he didn't have enough chakra, if he knew all kinds of secret techniques, such as simple and practical secret techniques like shadow imitation, then his strength would be as good as that of a ninja.
The rating is definitely higher than it is now!
Generally speaking, Mizuki is an ordinary commoner chuunin in Konoha who is frustrated and sees all the major ninja clans as obstacles.
It's just that compared to other chuunin cannon fodder who are as depressed as him, Mizuki is bolder and more ambitious, and he doesn't mind falling!
Now, he looked at Uzumaki Naruto and planned to use this child as a tool to be used next.
He wants to use this jinchūriki with poor grades to cause enough trouble for Konoha, so that he can steal the Book of Sealing in the chaos, so as to obtain more secret techniques and get a certificate of surrender to Orochimaru!
Orochimaru is a legend in the hearts of many civilian ninjas, especially in this era where the ninja clan monopolizes upper-level power. In this era when almost all jounin except Akai belong to the large ninja clan, civilians like Orochimaru and Jiraiya
Strong people will naturally be looked up to.
The same is true for Mizuki, he really wants to make progress, and now in Konoha Village and even in the ninja world, the only one who can make him go further may be Lord Orochimaru!
Thinking like this, Mizuki smiled and looked forward to Naruto's exam.
In his eyes, Naruto is an excellent tool whose identity is a mystery, but who is extremely threatening, and whose personality is particularly straightforward and easy to deceive!
All he had to do was wait for Naruto to fail the exam and try to induce him a little by pretending to be a good person, then the child whose identity was a mystery could be tricked into stealing the Sealed Book.
If the child is lucky enough to succeed, he will escape with the sealed book.
Of course, this child will almost never succeed. Therefore, when Naruto is arrested for stealing the Book of Sealings, he only needs a little stimulation to unlock the seal of the nine-tailed demon fox and give this person who has lost hope
Konoha brings enough pain!
And that kind of chaos is enough for Lord Orochimaru to accept him!
Thinking like this, Mizuki waited expectantly for Naruto's assessment, and as a result, Naruto's Three Body Techniques were maxed out...
Without further ado, this wave of Naruto not only got the fourth place, but also got a fucking forehead protector from Iruka personally... Konoha!
Mizuki who was watching this scene was confused. My plan was over before it even started?
Aren’t you a fucking crane tail? What about your title? Why don’t you just give it up if you don’t want it?
Play me, right?!!
With an angry mind, Mizuki smiled and continued to observe Naruto.
Seeing Naruto rushing into their small circle, he was slapped on the shoulder by the three of them together.
"Oh my god, Naruto, how did you cheat like this?" Akimichi Choji looked confused.
"Naruto, did you hire a tutor? Who did you hire?
Tell me, I will ask the tribe to invite him later, the level of making up lessons is also very good!"
Shikamaru pretended to be surprised, but in fact he secretly targeted the person his father Shikaku mentioned last night.
As for Ino, the pig in Ino Shika Butterfly….
She said to Naruto with sparkling eyes.
"Isn't it the handsome uncle who taught you yesterday?
Naruto, who are you, Uncle Gawain? Are you the teacher invited by the Third Generation?
It can’t be your grandfather’s anyway, he’s so young and handsome~~~.”
Looking at Ino with red hearts in his eyes, Naruto shook his head in displeasure.
"No, uncle is my grandfather, he has said it many times himself!
Although Sasuke is also his grandson, I don't recognize that stinky guy Sasuke!
Why is that bastard trying to steal my grandpa from me? Not only is he robbing me of grandpa, he is also robbing me of Sakura!"
In this way, Mizuki vaguely understood that Naruto had been taught by a man who claimed to be his grandfather in recent days.
Considering the identity of Naruto's Jinchuuriki, Mizuki felt that the identity of this grandfather was quite reliable. After all, the Hokage would not allow just anyone to approach the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki.
So, Mizuki failed to make one mark and made another one!
I have never heard of the name Gawain. He is not a big shot at all, so he doesn’t sound very strong!
What if I visit Naruto's home together and then attack Naruto's grandfather in person?
Will the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki go berserk after seeing his teacher kill his grandfather?
In this way, two days ago, Mizuki found a reason and took Naruto back to Gawain's house.
When he saw Mizuki, Gawain was obviously a little confused.
Similarly, Mizuki was a little confused when he saw Gawain?
Is this fucking young man called grandpa?
Who are you fooling?
The person I wanted to sneak attack on was an old man, not a young man with sound hands and feet who would not be killed by any chuunin even if he had no strength!
So Mizuki had to change his plan again!
Gawain doesn't want to make a sneak attack, but the location of Gawain's house is the place used by Konoha Village to receive big shots!
Mizuki clearly remembered that when he took the chunin exam, the Fire Country daimyo lived in Gawain's courtyard when he arrived in Konoha!
Therefore, Mizuki thought he had figured out the identities of Gawain and Naruto.
He speculated that Gawain should be a big shot in the Fire Country, a backup for a daimyo, or an important minister in charge of the Fire Country's finances.
Naruto should be the younger member of the minister's family.
In short, after giving up the sneak attack, Mizuki decided to attack the courtyard where Gawain was.
As long as a riot is caused in this courtyard, the relationship between Konoha Village and the Country of Fire will immediately reach a deadlock.
At the same time, the stimulation of this courtyard will inevitably attract the energy of the nearby Hokage Building.
He can also take advantage of that time and run to the sealing room of the Hokage Building to try to steal the Sealed Book.
Even if you can't steal it, you can still force Konoha and the Fire Nation to separate themselves as a pledge!
Shuimu was immediately stunned by his own intelligence, and in the next two days, he used his handsome face and gentle smile to sneak into Gawain's yard and conduct home visits.
Of course Gawain knew who Mizuki was, but he didn't care at all.
Now he wants to know more about how Mizuki's fate will continue after Naruto's original plot is confirmed to have been changed by him.
So, today.
After arriving at Gawain's yard today, Mizuki dropped at least eighty detonating charms all over the yard.
Although this number is far from the detonating talisman Xiaonan has.
But this number of detonating symbols is equivalent to the explosion of eighty grenades in the yard!
After doing all that, Mizuki said goodbye and Wan quietly came to the nearby forest.
After activating the mechanism, the detonating talisman exploded as expected, and the Hokage took most of the ANBU in the Hokage Building and rushed to the courtyard where Gawain was.
So, Mizuki decisively rushed into the Hokage building, trying to steal the sealed book.
but…….
Before he could take action, Mizuki was captured by the root ninja.
After all, Naruto has always been followed by people, and in the past few days since Takato appeared, Danzo, who wanted to investigate Gawain, had already replaced those following ninjas with root members.
This is also the reason why Genbu did not stop Mizuki from throwing the detonating talisman in Gawain's yard, because their mission goal was not to protect Gawain, but to collect as much information about Gawain as possible.
Although I don’t know why this guy threw the detonating talisman, couldn’t this thing test Gawain’s strength?
Even if Mizuki didn't steal the Book of Sealing, the root ninjas near Gawain would almost regard Mizuki as Danzo-sama's back-up man...
After all, even the root ninja... thought that Mizuki was the leader's tool to test Gawain...
…
In Gawain's yard, Gawain was lying on a recliner and silently observing Mizuki, the root ninja silently observed Gawain, Sasuke silently observed the root ninja, Sakura silently observed Sasuke, and Naruto silently observed Sakura...
In this great nesting doll observation...
boom!
Coo coo coo coo!!!
A series of explosions thundered in Gawain's yard!
The moment the explosion smoke appeared...
Whoosh whoosh!!!
The Third Hokage took the lead and rushed directly to Gawain's yard.
Hiruzen looked worriedly at Gawain, who was expressionless in the smoke, and nodded heavily.
"I'll give you an explanation!"
After the words fell, Hiruzen waved his hand fiercely.
"Let Danzo come to see me!
Let him come here to meet me!!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the ANBU ninja following Hiruzen immediately started to move.
At the same time, Kakashi also quickly rushed towards Gawain's yard.
In the past two days, he has been put on leave by the third generation and has become the leader and mentor of the ninja team.
But what Sandai meant was that since Gawain was willing to teach, let the children learn from Gawain first.
Not only Naruto and the three of them, Hiruzen also wanted to send more children to Gawain to strengthen the bond between Gawain and Konoha.
He had already made a plan. After Asuma and Kurenai took the children to complete a few tasks, he would send all the children who were close to Naruto.
Those children are all the heirs of the Ninja clan, and they will be the backbone of Konoha in the future, and they will be high-ranking members of the estrangement city.
As long as they recognized Gawain, Gawain also slightly recognized their words.
Then Gawain can successfully take over the position of Hokage!
At this time, Hiruzen didn't know that he only had a few months left to live. He thought he could at least be Hokage for a few more years and fight against the ninja until he found the next civilian Hokage successor.
He thought he would last another three or two years until Gawain recognized Konoha enough.
On the side, when he heard Sarutobi Hiruzen's words, Gawain was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help laughing.
Yes, how could a political animal like Sandai imagine that Mizuki actually wanted to do that?
In this situation, the Third Generation will of course regard everything as some kind of temptation from Danzo!
So, is Danzo taking the blame again?
Ha ha!
At the same time, the roots of Konoha are underground...
The ANBU ninjas arrived quickly and read out the Hokage's order to Danzo.
Danzo, who understood everything, was suddenly confused!
What, did I test Gawain?
Didn't I just fucking make an agreement with Orochimaru to test the mysterious man Gawain in the next plan to kill Hiruzen?
