"Calamus, what's going on with you today? You always get the wrong seasonings, and you don't even clean up properly. Rats have come in."
"Today's losses are so great, all of them are on your shoulders."
In the Hokage's office, the third generation put his chin on his hands and looked at the crystal ball on the table.
He saw everything that happened in the Ichiraku Ramen Shop.
"It was actually destroyed by a mouse."
"Luck?"
"Or is he aware of it?"
Chapter 43: The third generation and Danzo each have their own plans
Walking on the street, Shuimu's expression remained as usual.
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 vigilant.
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 Shuimu's eyes.
He has made up his mind to kill the third generation with his own hands.
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's office, the third generation looked very gloomy.
He has confirmed that Mizuki really noticed it.
"In the past few days, Danzo's people have poisoned him 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 loser, and the people he sent are also losers."
"I can't even act like a calamus, and I can get vinegar and soy sauce wrong. Mizuki immediately saw his flaws."
The third generation also admired Mizuki's vigilance, he could notice such small things.
"Why!"
Sighing, Sandai summoned an ANBU.
"Go and get Danzo. I'll meet him on the roof."
After the third generation finished giving instructions, he went up to the roof, clasping his hands behind his back, looking up at the statues of past Hokages on the Hokage Rock.
Soon, Danzo arrived.
There were only two of them on the roof.
"Danzo, please stop for now. The Chuunin exams are about to begin. We have received news that ninjas from various villages who have come to take the exams are arriving one after another."
"Orochimaru's plan to collapse Konoha must be prepared carefully. Therefore, I will directly dispatch the manpower at the root for the time being. Mizuki, you can leave it alone for now."
When Danzo heard this, he said, "What's wrong with 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 the activities of Sunagakure Village."
"Just stay in Konoha and leave Sunagakure to me."
Sandai narrowed his eyes and said: "Duanzo, I am not discussing with you."
"On the night of the Nine-Tails twelve years ago, you contracted the power of your roots and did not participate in the attack on the 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 says he is not Hokage?
"What about Mizuki? How do you kill him? What if Mizuki survives Orochimaru's attack and turns against us..."
Sandaime: "It wasn't because of Gen's 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.
"I will take care of it myself, Mizuki, so just leave it alone."
"During this period, until the Chuunin exams are over, you stay at home and don't go out at will."
The third generation turned around, his eyes cold.
"Danzo, I know there is still a connection between you and Orochimaru, but this time it is about the survival of Konoha. I hope you will not make a mistake."
Danzo said: "Hiruzhan, what do you mean by this? Didn't I do so much for Konoha?"
Sandai sneered, turned and left.
When he reached the stairs, Sandai paused.
"Danzo, when you get back, inform all the root members to gather at the Hokage Tower tomorrow morning and follow my orders."
"Besides, you are not suitable to be Hokage!"
After saying that, Sandai went downstairs.
Danzo looked at the disappearing figure of the third generation, his heart filled with anger.
Am I not suitable to be 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?
He is timid even in killing a Mizuki. Such a person is not suitable to be Hokage at all?
"I am the most suitable person to be Hokage. Only I can lead the village back to its peak. Only I am the hope of the Fire Country." Danzo's ambitions expanded even more under the stimulation of the third generation.
After leaving the Hokage Tower and walking back to his 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. He has already surpassed half of the jounin."
"Keeping such a person would be too harmful to Konoha."
"The Chunin Exam is coming soon, and we have to deal with Orochimaru's plan to collapse Konoha. Hiruzen may have given up on killing Mizuki. At most, he will send Mizuki out of the village on a long-term mission before the Chunin Exam."
"But it's not safe!"
A glint flashed in Danzo's eyes.
"Since we can't kill him, there is only one way to control him."
"After the Chuunin Exams are over and Hiruzen is killed by Orochimaru, I can control Mizuki to continue destroying Konoha, and then I will kill him myself."
"That way, my reputation in the village will reach its peak, and my enthronement as 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's office building, Sandai walked into the mission hall and ordered: "Bring me the latest mission authorization letter."
Iruka immediately brought the power of attorney, and the 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 Sandaime!" Iruka responded. Looking at the back of Sandaime leaving, Iruka was filled with worry.
He guessed that this was another plan of the third generation against Mizuki.
It's a pity that he is just an ordinary chuunin and has no right to speak. He can only watch the life and death of his friends.
Sandai 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 looked sideways at the third generation.
Sandai 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 was practicing magic at the eighth training ground. The art of seeing Naraku.
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".
Falling under Mizuki's illusion, it was frightened and fainted.
"Mi's hair, little squirrel, I'm sorry!"
Mizuki felt very guilty and sorry for this little squirrel.
It's innocent!
"As compensation, I decided to give you lots of delicious food!"
Mizuki ran to the tree, picked a lot of pine cones, and piled them around the little squirrel.
When he thought about 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.
