Third Hokage:
- "Since he has the strength, why doesn't he resist? Is he mentally ill and likes to stay in Konoha and scheming with me?"
- "With such strength, he can be like Orochimaru and Itachi. Even if he escaped, Konoha will not be able to do anything to him."
- "But he refused to escape. What was the reason for this?"
He decided to explore Mizuki's background after meeting Mizuki for a while.
We must find out why Mizuki stays in Konoha and what his attitude is towards Konoha.
Third Hokage waited for a long time, but did not wait for Mizuki:
- "Didn't Mizuki return to the village? Where did he go?"
ANBU reported:
- "Sandaime-Sama, after Mizuki returned to the village, he heard that Iruka was injured in the explosion in the Hokage's office and was hospitalized, so he went directly to the hospital to visit."
Third Hokage frowned:
- "Mizuki went to Konoha to visit Iruka?"
- "If a ninja mission fails, shouldn't the first thing you do when you return to the village be come to the Hokage Tower and report the reasons and details of the mission failure to the Hokage?"
- "Why go to the hospital to visit the patient first?"
This is unreasonable, very unreasonable.
Third Hokage:
- "Could it be that he really blew up the office? Now that he knows that Iruka was injured due to the explosion, he feels guilty and rushes to visit him immediately?"
He felt that he had guessed the truth.
Third Hokage thinking:
- "According to his understanding, it wasn't you who blew it up, so why are you feeling guilty?"
- "But this also illustrates one thing from the side."
He narrowed his eyes slightly:
- "Mizuki still has friendship for Iruka."
His mind was spinning quickly:
- "If the two of them are allowed to have more contact, or even perform tasks together, and develop this friendship into a bond, then there will be more ways to deal with him."
Tsubaki's death made Sandaime feel that Mizuki was a cold-blooded person.
A cold-blooded person has no emotional weakness and acts unscrupulously without caring about the consequences.
This kind of person is the most difficult to deal with.
Because you have no other choice but to use stronger force to defeat him.
Threaten the lives of loved ones? Sorry, cold-blooded people have no affection in their eyes. Similarly, friendship and love cannot be used as a bargaining chip for threats.
Because cold-blooded people don't care at all.
But now, Mizuki goes to visit Iruka, which makes Sandaime feel that Mizuki is not a completely cold-blooded person.
In this way, Mizuki is not without emotional weaknesses.
Third Hokage:
- "If used well, this will become a shortcut to subdue Mizuki."
He narrowed his eyes and began to formulate a new plan.
In Konoha Hospital, Iruka was lying on the bed, his body covered with bandages, but he was awake:
- "Mizuki, I didn't expect you to come see me."
Mizuki stood beside the bed and said:
- "We are friends who grew up together after all. Isn't it right to come and see you?"
Iruka:
- "Friends, I thought..."
Halfway through his words, he suddenly fell silent.
It was indeed as Sandaime had guessed.
Mizuki felt a little guilty, so after returning to Konoha, he came to the hospital to visit Iruka as soon as possible.
He couldn't care so much about the others who were killed or injured, and could only say sorry in his heart.
Of course, there is another purpose of visiting Iruka, which is to let the villagers know that Mizuki is not a cold-blooded person.
He insisted on staying in Konoha, and his image still had to be maintained.
Although it was a bit frustrating to stay in Konoha and be targeted every two days, he still had no intention to escape.
At least, there are no plans to escape at this stage.
Even if he defected, he would not join other forces. Neither the Akatsuki nor the Sound Ninja Village had any appeal to him.
If he really defected, he would only create a force of his own.
He is not ready now.
He doesn't know what he should do. In short, he has no ideals and no goals to strive for.
Black Zetsu has been planning for thousands of years to resurrect his mother.
Orochimaru established the Sound Ninja Village to conduct research and gain immortality.
The ideal of the Akatsuki is peace in the Shinobi World.
Uchiha Madara and Obito want to use the [Infinite Tsukuyomi] to build a beautiful Dream World.
In comparison, Mizuki has not yet found his ideal.
Mizuki:
- "Perhaps, returning to the earth is a good ideal, but this ideal is too far away and too illusory."
An ideal without hope is just a daydream.
Thinking about it, Mizuki suddenly felt a little irritable.
In his previous life, he was a loser who had no ideals and fell into disrepute after graduating from college.
After transmigration, there was still no ideal.
He couldn't help but feel a negative feeling that life was meaningless.
Looking at Mizuki who was standing beside the bed in a daze, Iruka suddenly asked:
- "Mizuki, do you know the cause of Tsubaki's death?"
Mizuki frowned and said:
- "I don't know!"
He didn't want to say more about this matter. Iruka had better not know anything, otherwise something could happen easily.
Iruka refused to give up:
- "The Hokage's office was bombed, was it you?"
Mizuki said again:
- "No!"
- "Okay, I failed this mission and need to report to Sandaime. I'll see you next time.
"After saying that, he turned and left.
Watching Mizuki walk out of the ward, Iruka sighed:
- "I saw Tsubaki leave with Root-ninja that day. She should have died in front of you."
- "I just hope she doesn't die in your hands..."
