The days when I worked part-time in Konoha

Back in Konoha, Mizuki went directly to the Hokage's office, holding a box of money in his hand.

The Third Hokage took a few puffs of dry cigarette, his eyes passed over the black wooden box, stopped on Mizuki's face, and said slowly: "Mizuki, it seems that you completed the task smoothly, I am relieved."

Mizuki said: "I will live up to your expectations. Lord Hokage, this is a commission from the Daimyo of the Land of Snow."

After that, Mizuki opened the box. Seeing such money, the Third Hokage's face flashed with surprise and asked: "What exactly did you do in the Land of Snow?"

Mizuki didn't hide it either. He told the story about his use of tactics to solve the rebellion of the Snow Country, the leader of the rebellion. Out of gratitude, the Snow Country Daimyo paid him a high commission and treated himself as a distinguished guest.

Of course, Mizuki didn't mention a word about having the blood inheritance boundary. Instead, he revealed that he had recently realized a secret move: Azure Dragon Break.After all, there will be many opportunities to use this killer move in the future, so it definitely cannot be concealed.

The Third Hokage was surprised and said: "So, in the Land of Snow, you fought against three jounin and an elite chuunin, and defeated them."

"good."

"It seems Minato has more discernment than me."

The Third Hokage sighed with emotion. There were not many such outstanding talents in Konoha.We must focus on cultivating such a person and cultivate him into a towering tree that protects Konoha as soon as possible.

Mizuki was stunned, wondering what it had to do with Minato.

The Third Hokage said: "I have read the content of the mission and know the difficulty of the mission. Originally, as a chuunin, this mission is not suitable for you. It was only because Minato specifically recommended it to me that I made an exception and gave you this opportunity to hone yourself through the mission. you."

Mizuki was stunned. What kind of opportunity was this? He simply didn't take his own life seriously. If he hadn't grown rapidly in chakra in the past three months and mastered the Soryu Pa and the chakra scalpel, Snow Country and his party might have become his career. the end point.

The Third Hokage continued: "Mizuki, I'm sorry, although doing this is a bit cruel to you. But I love talents very much. Fortunately, you returned safely."

Mizuki said hurriedly: "Lord Hokage, you are serious."

"You will hand over [-]% of these commissions to the village, and keep the remaining [-]% for yourself. This can be regarded as a little compensation for you."

When Mizuki heard this, he felt much better. Seventy percent was already a lot. Adding his own savings, it added up to 200 million.With such a net worth, he has defeated 85% of Konoha's ninjas.

The Third Hokage glanced at him and said, "By the way, Minato asked me to find you a master."

Mizuki was overjoyed. He had long wanted to find an excellent teacher, become his disciple, and learn ninjutsu, but he had never had the chance.Unexpectedly, Minato would even consider this for himself. He was worthy of being the fourth Hokage in the future.

Mizuki's calmness made the Third Hokage very satisfied, so he said: "Although you are excellent, no matter how outstanding a ninja is, he still needs someone to guide him in his youth, so that he can achieve greater success in the future. We have many excellent ninjas in Konoha, you are interested in Anyone, you can tell me, and I will personally take you to become a disciple."

Mizuki was overjoyed. The Third Hokage had led Konoha for decades and was a ninja respected by everyone in the village. Who would deny face to such a figure?It can be said that with the words of the Third Hokage, Mizuki can choose a famous teacher at will.

Thinking back to a few months ago, I was worried about not having a teacher to guide me. Now it is my turn to choose. This life fate is really difficult to figure out.

"I want to worship..."

When he said this, Mizuki suddenly saw the corners of the Third Hokage's eyes move and couldn't help but feel wary.Decades have passed since the founding of Konoha, and the Third Hokage has never seen anyone.

First there was Orochimaru, and then there was Minato. These two people were undoubtedly outstanding in terms of their talents, and they were rare to meet in decades.What's more, these two people, one is the proud disciple of the Third Hokage, and the other is his proud disciple, they can be regarded as direct relatives of the Hokage.

What is my identity? Even if I have risen to prominence in the past few months, I am only as famous as Kakashi at best. Who has the right to choose who to be my master? There has never been such an example in Konoha.It seemed that I was a little too proud of myself for completing this mission.

Thinking back to what the Third Hokage said just now, Minato-sensei asked him to find a master for himself instead of choosing a famous teacher. Mizuki was shocked and almost made a big mistake.

The Third Hokage said calmly: "Think about it, who will you choose to be your master."

Mizuki said: "Lord Hokage, I'm sorry. With my humble status, no matter which senior I take as my disciple, it is my honor. How dare you choose? Please take back your previous words."

The Third Hokage nodded secretly and said, "In that case, I will make the decision to choose a master for you."

Shuimu hurriedly said: "Yes."

"Although you are still a chuunin, your strength has reached that of a jounin, and you have the calmness, wisdom, and mature enemy-fighting skills that a ninja should have. Now, if I were to find a jounin to teach you, I would probably learn from you. If you don’t get anything useful, it’s just a waste of manpower.”

The Third Hokage paused here, glanced at Mizuki, and continued: "After careful consideration, I plan to let you become Jiraiya's disciple. His reputation must be familiar to you."

Mizuki said: "Jiraiya-sama is one of the famous Sannin. It is my greatest honor to be his disciple."

As a ninja, Jiraiya may not be as good as Orochimaru, but he is undoubtedly a very great teacher. He has accepted several disciples in his life, Yahiko, Nagato, Konan, Minato and Naruto and his son. Each of these five disciples is powerful. Powerful, Nagato, Minato and Naruto, these three people affect the future of the ninja world.

Not to mention being a role model, Jiraiya himself is also the strongest among the three ninjas. Without any intelligence, he killed three Pain alone.

Mizuki was overjoyed to be able to worship Jiraiya as his teacher, because he watched Naruto in his previous life and liked two characters the most. One of them was Jiraiya. Jiraiya died in the Land of Rain, and he even shed tears for this.

The Third Hokage said: "As long as you are satisfied with this master. It's just that Jiraiya left Konoha a few years ago, and I don't know his whereabouts, so before he returns to the village, I will guide you in your cultivation."

"This……"

Mizuki was shocked. The Third Hokage was the shadow of a village. Apart from the three ninjas, he had never heard of him instructing anyone in ninjutsu. Now he was asked to teach him how to practice. Mizuki suspected that he had heard wrongly.

The Third Hokage smiled and said: "Don't be surprised or feel pressured. I am also doing this to cultivate talents for the village!"

"Yes."

Mizuki's expression was solemn. The Third Hokage was worthy of being called a doctor in the ninja world, and he actually had such an idea.However, in this way, his status has risen, and he has transformed from a civilian ninja to a direct line of Hokage.

The Third Hokage nodded, said a few more words, and asked Mizuki to retreat.
