Chapter 45: Ch. 45. Sandaime's continuous calculations. [2]
Mizuki:
- "Haha, these days are finally coming to an end!"
- "Chunin Examination, Orochimaru... The opportunity for me, Danzo Shimura, to make a comeback has come, and the Godaime is in my bag."
- "I no longer want to stay in the dark underground. I want to go above the ground and bathe in the warm and bright sunshine."
- "Hiruzen, your indecision has made Konoha weaker and weaker."
- "You are not suitable to be Hokage."
- "Only under my leadership can Konoha become strong and return to its supreme position of overpowering the five major nations during the First Hokage."
After leaving the Hokage Tower, Mizuki immediately went to find Tsubaki.
I went to Tsubaki's house first, but couldn't find it.
I asked my neighbors again and they said that they disappeared half a month ago.
Then he searched for people all over the village and even found the Hokage Tower.
Doing so is, of course, pretentious.
After all, if his fiancée is gone, he can't just show it at all.
If you want to live in this village, you must behave normally.
Facing Mizuki's inquiry, Sandaime could only say that Tsubaki was missing and the village was also sending people to search for him.
Both of them knew that Tsubami was dead, and knew why Tsubaki died and where he died, but they both pretended to know nothing.
Pretending to be confused while pretending to understand.
No one will point it out because that would be detrimental to both parties.
After a few days of symbolic searching, Sandaime announced that Tsubaki had been killed and no bones were left.
Mizuki was "Extremely Sad" and was drunk all day long. He was described as haggard and crying sadly.
In the end, it was Iruka who took him to a custom shop several times before he finally got over the "Pain of Losing His Wife".
About there!
Pretending is very tiring, and if he keeps pretending, he won't be able to stand it.
Mizuki:
- "Next, it's time to continue improving our strength."
Each apprentice has three opportunities to return rewards every month.
It has been more than a month since Naruto and Sasuke last returned, so they can continue gathering.
Mizuki:
- "What should I give as a gift?"
He began to think about this question.
It is best to give something away, which will greatly increase his strength after returning it.
In fact, granting Ninjutsu will improve Mizuki the fastest, because the returned Ninjutsu will be very strong.
But the trouble is, the Mizuki has very few ninjutsu, so there is nothing to give as a gift.
Naruto and the others knew the [Three-Body Technique's]. [Earth-Style: Earth Wall] had already been given to Sakura, and [Earth-Style: Stone Mirror Wall] was returned by the system, and sending it away would not trigger the return.
Mizuki:
- "If you give me a ninja tool, I will return a stronger ninja tool, but I am not proficient in the use of ninja tools, so the improvement will not be too big."
He thought for a long time, and for a while he couldn't think of anything to give.
So, he walked out of the house and walked down the street, intending to look around and find some inspiration.
When he passed the door of the drugstore, an idea flashed in his mind.
Step into the pharmacy and come to the counter.
Mizuki:
- "Boss, I want 10 Military Rations Pills."
After a ninja eats the Military Rations Pill, he can instantly recover a large amount of chakra, and can replace food to replenish the energy needed by the body.
When ninjas perform certain tasks or participate in wars, Military Rations Pills are a good supply and can replace food.
I don't know what will be returned, but it's always good to have something to restore chakra.
Store Boss:
- "Please keep the 10 Military Ration pills, a total of 1,000 ryo, thank you!"
Mizuki said:
- "Don't worry, I want to buy something else."
Store Boss asked:
- "What else does the customer need?"
Mizuki:
- "Do you have any medicine to strengthen your body and strengthen your bones?"
The boss said:
- "Yes, but it is not taken internally, but used externally. It needs to be soaked in a bath to allow the medicine to penetrate into the body to achieve the effect of strengthening the body and bones."
- "However, this medicine requires long-term use and is not effective quickly. But if you insist on using it, the improvement will be huge. The skin and muscles will become tougher, the bone strength will be greatly improved, and the body's sensitivity will exceed that of others."
- "Those who come here to buy are usually those who specialize in taijutsu..."
Before the boss finished speaking, a man rushed in from the door and shouted:
- "Boss, I'm here to get the medicine."
Mizuki turned around and saw that it was Rock Lee.
The boss smiled and said:
- "It's Rock Lee. Your medicine has been prepared a long time ago."
He took out two packages of medicine and said:
- "One package is for Gai, and one package is for you."
Rock Lee took the medicine and ran out in a hurry.
The boss smiled and shook his head:
- "He are really hardworking. In addition to the tasks, he are also practicing, and he are in a hurry to get medicine."
Mizuki asked curiously:
- "The medicine he took just now is to strengthen his body?"
The boss nodded and said:
- "Yes, among the many ninjas in Konoha Village, Gai's physical skills are the strongest. This is inseparable from the body-building medicine in my store."
- "Because only when the physique is strong can the physical skills be strong."
Mizuki:
- "Then, give me some body-building medicine too."
The boss looked at Mizuki and asked:
- "Are you a ninja who specializes in taijutsu?"
Mizuki shook his head.
Boss:
- "Since it's not the case, then I advise you not to waste time on this. Before using body-building drugs, you must undergo high-intensity physical training to allow the body to reach an overdraft state, so that the effects of the drugs can be fully exerted."
- "Moreover, it takes years or even decades of persistence to see significant results."
- "You don't specialize in physical skills, and you won't insist on exercising. The effect of taking medicine is extremely poor. So, don't waste your money."
Mizuki smiled and said:
- "It's okay, I have money."
The boss said helplessly:
- "Okay, if you insist on it yourself, I won't stop you. But I have agreed, if it doesn't work, don't come to me."
Mizuki:
- "Don't worry, I won't look for you!"
The boss had no idea, so he took out a pack of fitness pills and said:
- "This is a month's supply, use it once a day."
Mizuki:
- "I want three packs."
The boss was speechless:
- "Why do you want so many? Forget it, it's up to you. One pack is 3,000 ryo, three packs are 9,000 ryo, plus the 1,000 ryo of Military Rations Pills, the total is 10,000 ryo."
Mizuki paid the money, took the medicine and left happily.
