NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 43: Third Generation And Danzo, Each Has His Own Plans
Walking on the street, Mizuki looked normal.
But in his heart, he was already filled with anger.
"He even resorted to such despicable methods."
It wouldn't be a big deal that Acorus made the mistake of vinegar and soy sauce. Just shouting a few words with his hands, other customers in the store didn't care at all.
As long as we are human, we will make mistakes sometimes.
Others couldn't detect anything unusual, so who would have thought that someone would be murdered in their own village?
But Mizuki is different. He is a time traveler himself, and the Third Generation has always wanted to kill him, which makes him very wary.
He will not ignore any disturbance, nor dare to ignore it.
Because if there is a slight mistake, you may die.
Sensing something was wrong, Mizuki did not make a big show of it, but quietly started Tai Chi. A mouse happened to pass by on the beam above his head, and was knocked down by the force of the fist, and fell into the bowl.
Immediately afterwards, Mizuki used echolocation to "watch" the mouse.
The rat escaped outside the house and ran into the sewer. It began to stagger when walking, and then its mouth and nose began to bleed, and it died.
It took less than 10 seconds before and after, you can imagine how poisonous the poison was in that noodles.
"How vicious!"
Mizuki was filled with fear just thinking about it.
It's almost the end.
"Brother Mouse, you can go in peace. I will avenge you personally." A cold murderous intent flashed in Mizuki's eyes.
He has made up his mind that he must kill the Third Generation himself.
In the days that followed, Mizuki became more cautious, eating and drinking carefully, and kept echolocation on.
I didn't even dare to sleep deeply, for fear of lying on the bed one night and lying on the couch the next morning.
It’s torture, but there’s nothing you can do about it, you’ll get caught if you’re not careful.
He has encountered poisoning in food and soup several times. Those guys disguised themselves in various ways, sneaked into the kitchen, and poisoned people while the food was being served.
If Mizuki's echolocation hadn't been turned on, he wouldn't have been poisoned so many times.
Seeing that eating out was too risky, he decided to cook it at home.
As a result, the condiments were also poisonous, and the tap water flowing out of the faucet was also extremely poisonous.
In the Hokage office, Third Generation looked very gloomy.
He had confirmed that Mizuki really noticed.
"In the past few days, Danzo's people have poisoned them five times, but they all failed due to various coincidences."
The mouse fell into the noodle bowl, the waiter who served the food suddenly slipped, the poisonous balls fell to the ground, the kitchen caught fire and all the condiments were burned, and the tap was broken.
It doesn't matter if it happens once or twice, but it is like this every time. It is obvious that it is not a coincidence.
"Danzo is a waste, and the people he sent are also waste."
"I can't even play the role of Iris well, and I can get vinegar and soy sauce wrong. Mizuki immediately saw the flaws."
Third Generation also admires Mizuki's vigilance, being able to notice even the smallest things.
"Why!"
Sighing, Third Generation summoned an Anbu.
"Go get Danzo. I'll meet him on the roof."
After giving instructions, Third Generation went up to the roof, clasped his hands behind his back, and looked up at the Hokage statues on the Hokage Rock.
Soon, Danzo arrived.
There were only two of them on the roof.
"Danzo, please stop for now. The Chūnin exam is about to begin. We have received news that ninjas from various villages who have come to take the exam are arriving one after another."
"Orochimaru's plan to collapse Konoha must be carefully prepared. Therefore, I will directly dispatch the manpower at the root for the time being. Mizuki, please leave it alone for now."
When Danzo heard this, he said, "What kind of business is this? You can directly dispatch the root cause. This is to take away the last bit of power in my hand."
"Hiruzen, I want to lead the roots to the border to monitor Sunagakure's movements."
"Just stay in Konoha and leave Sand Shinobi to me."
Third Generation narrowed his eyes and said, "Danzo, I'm not negotiating with you."
"On the night of Nine Tails twelve years ago, you contracted the power of your roots and did not participate in the attack on Nine Tails. I don't blame you."
"This time, I won't let you do whatever you want."
Danzo was angry, but there was nothing he could do.
Who calls himself not a Hokage?
"What about Mizuki? How do you kill him? What if Mizuki survives Orochimaru's attack and turns against us..."
Third Generation: "It wasn't because of the root mistake that Mizuki became more vigilant. Originally, he died that night at Ichiraku Ramen Restaurant."
Danzo snorted coldly and stopped talking.
He knew he was in the wrong, and he was also cursing the root ninja who transformed into a calamus.
"Mizuki, I'll take care of it myself, so just leave it alone."
"During this period, until the Chūnin exam is over, you should stay at home and do not go out at will."
Third Generation turned around, eyes cold.
"Danzo, I know there is still a connection between you and Orochimaru, but this time it is about the survival of Konoha, and I hope you will not make a mistake."
Danzo said: "Hiruzen, what do you mean by this? Didn't I do so much for Konoha?"
Third Generation sneered and turned to leave.
When they reached the stairs, Third Generation paused.
"Danzo, when you go back, notify all root members to gather at the Hokage Building tomorrow morning and follow my orders."
"Besides, you're not fit to be a Hokage!"
After saying that, Third Generation went downstairs.
Danzo looked at the disappearing figure of Third Generation, his heart filled with anger.
Am I not cut out to be a Hokage? Hiruzen, do you still have the nerve to say this?
Look at how weak Konoha has become under your incompetent leadership over the years?
A person who is timid even in killing a Mizuki is not suitable to be a Hokage at all?
"I am the most suitable person to be a Hokage. Only I can lead the village back to its peak. Only I am the hope of the Fire Nation." Danzo's ambitions have expanded even more under the stimulation of the Third Generation.
After leaving the Hokage Building and walking back to the base, Danzo was filled with dissatisfaction.
By the time he returned to base, a decision had been made.
"Mizuki has no heartfelt feelings for Konoha. The key is that he is not weak and has already surpassed half of the Jōnin."
"Keeping such a person would be too harmful to Konoha."
"The Chūnin exam is coming soon, and he has to deal with Orochimaru's plan to collapse Konoha. I'm afraid Hiruzen has given up on killing Mizuki. At most, he can send Mizuki out of the village on a long-term mission before the Chūnin exam."
"But it's not safe!"
There was a glint in Danzo's eyes.
"Since we can't kill him, there is only one way to control him."
"After the Chūnin exam is over and Hiruzen is killed by Orochimaru, I can control Mizuki to continue destroying Konoha, and then I will kill him myself."
"In this way, my reputation in the village will reach its peak, and my accession to the Fifth Hokage will be confirmed."
He raised his hand to cover his bandaged right eye with a smile on his face.
This eye is finally going to be put to great use.
He waved his hand to summon a root ninja and ordered: "Go, ask Mizuki to come here to meet me!"
"Yes!" Gen Nin immediately left.
At the same time, the Hokage Office Building, Third Generation walked into the mission hall and ordered: "Bring me the latest mission authorization letter."
Iruka immediately brought the power of attorney, and Third Generation flipped through it, locking in a task.
Protect the caravan heading to the Country of Tea, mission level C.
"Iruka, leave this task to Mizuki, inform him to pick it up and set off early tomorrow morning."
"Yes, Lord Third Generation!" Iruka responded. Looking at the back of Third Generation leaving, Iruka was filled with worry.
He guessed that this was Third Generation's plan against Mizuki again.
Unfortunately, he is just an ordinary Chūnin and has no right to speak. He can only watch the life and death of his friends.
Third Generation returned to the office, wrote a note, rolled it up, put it in a thin bamboo tube, and stuffed the bamboo tube tightly with a stopper.
Holding the bamboo tube, he walked to the window sill.
On the windowsill, a crow looks sideways at Third Generation.
Third Generation tied the bamboo tube to the crow's leg and said, "Go!"
The crow croaked twice, fluttered its wings, and flew away into the distance.
At this time, Mizuki is practicing magic at the eighth training ground. Naraku meets Technique.
The training object is a little squirrel in the tree.
The poor squirrel was pulling at a pine cone, trying to get out the pine nuts.
Suddenly, there was a trance in front of my eyes. The pine cone turned into a snake and instantly entangled the squirrel, getting tighter and tighter.
The squirrel struggled wildly and opened its mouth to scream, but to no avail.
It only felt that its body was getting tighter and tighter, its breathing was getting more and more difficult, and it was almost suffocating.
Suddenly, the scene changed, the snake was gone, and the pine cone was still a pine cone.
But the little squirrel's eyes were dull, he was unsteady on his feet, and fell to the ground with a "plop".
It was frightened and fainted by Mizuki's genjutsu.
"Mi's hair, little squirrel, I'm sorry!"
Mizuki said he felt very guilty and sorry for this little squirrel.
It's innocent!
"As compensation, I decided to give you lots of delicious food!"
Mizuki rushed to the tree, picked a lot of pine cones, and piled them around the little squirrel.
When he thought of the little squirrel waking up and seeing so many pine cones around him, he was so happy that he couldn't help himself. The guilt in Mizuki's heart immediately disappeared a lot.
"Still not proficient enough, then find another practice target!"
He looked around and quickly zeroed in on another squirrel not far away.
As his eyes locked, the little squirrel also looked towards Mizuki, his eyes full of resistance and fear.
Don't come over here!
"Hey, don't worry, I will be very gentle!"
Just as he was about to take action, suddenly, a masked ninja appeared and jumped in front of Mizuki in a few steps.
"Gen-nin?" Mizuki frowned, not knowing what this root-nin wanted to do when he stood in front of him.
"Mizuki, Lord Danzo, please come with me!"
Mizuki curled his lips and said, "No time!"
Gen Nin was stunned and said: "Master Danzo comes to you, how dare you refuse?"
Mizuki dug his ears with his fingers and mocked: "I'm not a ninja, why should I listen to Danzo?"
"Okay, I'm annoyed when I see your roots. Get out of here and don't disturb my practice."
The root ninja was angry, but he didn't dare to take action.
"Don't you have to ask Mr. Danzo to come to you in person?" Gennin began to threaten.
Mizuki said coldly: "I told you to get out, you don't understand human language, right?"
The next moment, his eyes were fixed on this root ninja, and Naraku saw Technique activated.
For a moment, the Gennin fell into fear, his eyes widened and his body stiffened.
But in just one second, the Gennin got rid of the control of the illusion.
"Mizuki, you dare to use genjutsu to attack the ninjas in the village. Do you know what this is?"
Mizuki chuckled: "I'm just sparring with you, and I didn't hurt you. What's your name?"
"Of course, if you continue to stay here and complain, then I don't mind letting you experience the surprise of being killed by me."
