Chapter 53

　　Uchiha Itachi was very anxious.

　　After receiving the news from the Third Hokage, he and Kisame planned to intercept them halfway.

　　What he said was to capture Mizuki and force him to join the Akatsuki organization.

　　What I was thinking about was that the moment I saw Mizuki, I released Amaterasu immediately and didn't give Mizuki any chance.

　　The plan is very good.

　　What Itachi didn't expect was that Konan also obtained information that Mizuki was about to leave the village.

　　Then Payne came.

　　The previous failure to capture made Xiaonan think that the capture would not be successful with Uchiha Itachi and Inigaki Kisame alone.

　　So, she informed Nagato the news.

　　In her mind, Mizuki's ability to save life and escape was so slippery that it would be difficult to catch him unless Payne took action himself.

　　As for why we had to capture Mizuki, it's a long story.

　　Ever since Orochimaru defected from the organization, Akatsuki has been short of people, and the member codenamed "Sora" has been vacant.

　　Ten rings, there should be ten official members.

　　Now that one is missing, it is very unsightly and has an impact on Akatsuki's strength and plans.

　　So it must be completed.

　　It's not that I haven't found someone, but I have searched all over the ninja world and haven't found a suitable person to become the new "Sora".

　　The Akatsuki organization doesn't like people like Zabuza at all.

　　Finally, a Mizuki appeared, with unique methods and powerful strength. He was repeatedly targeted by the third generation, and his fiancée was even killed by Konoha.

　　Such people are most suitable to join Xiao.

　　Opportunity not to be missed.

　　He doesn't hesitate to send out Payne, but also drag Shuimu into the trap.

　　Pain glanced at Itachi Uchiha. Just now Itachi used Amaterasu to burn Mizuki, but it was not ambiguous at all.

　　This posture, instead of pulling people in, is clearly killing people.

　　"Now that I'm here, he can't escape!"

　　Tiandao Payne said lightly, his body quickly rose into the air, and he looked down at the surroundings.

　　Under the shroud of the Samsara Eye, nothing can escape.

　　When he looked towards the north, his eyes suddenly froze, and even a look of surprise flashed across his face.

　　He saw Mizuki flying in the air like a superman, with his head facing north and his feet facing south, and he was extremely fast.

　　Comparing the flight speed, Payne felt that he was not as good as Mizuki.

　　"Is the secret art of the Earth Kingdom more important than the rock art?"

　　Pain was confused, but then he looked at Mizuki's soles.

　　In the vision of the Samsara Eye, he clearly saw that the soles of Mizuki's feet were spraying chakra downwards.

　　"Gather chakra at the soles of your feet and spray it out to generate a reverse thrust?"

　　"This Mizuki is indeed no ordinary ninja. He can even think of this kind of ninjutsu."

　　"Inviting him to join the Akatsuki organization is the right decision."

　　"It's a pity that he didn't want to."

　　Payne watched helplessly as Mizuki flew away until he disappeared from the end of his field of vision.

　　"Chief, how are you? Where is Mizuki?" Uchiha Itachi asked hurriedly as Pain fell to the ground.

　　Pain shook his head and said: "He has mastered the flying ninjutsu and is extremely fast. He is flying north to Konoha. We can no longer catch up."

　　"This arrest failed!"

　　Uchiha Itachi was shocked that Mizuki actually mastered the flying ninjutsu, which he had never expected.

　　He lamented again that Mizuki was hiding too deeply.

　　At this time, Kisame said: "This Mizuki is really a slippery loach. Even the leader can't catch him. I think it's better to rush into Konoha directly. Anyway, with the leader's strength, Konoha can't stop him." "

　　"No!" Pain immediately rejected it and explained: "The current Akatsuki organization cannot be an enemy of the Ninja Village."

　　"However, the plan to capture the tailed beast can be implemented."

　　"The Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki is in the Land of Waves. Itachi, Kisame, you two go and capture him."

　　Failing to catch Mizuki, Pain immediately shifted his target to Naruto.

　　Mizuki flew a certain distance, and when he saw that there were no pursuers behind him, he fell down.

　　"I never expected that it would be Payne who came. Fortunately, I have some means."

　　"In addition, Uchiha Itachi's murderous aura is too strong. It seems that he will have to publicize it when he goes back."

　　"You make it difficult for me, and I will make it difficult for you too."

　　Soon, he returned to Konoha.

　　The third generation received a report from the ANBU and was furious when he found out that Mizuki was back.

　　"Didn't Itachi say that the flames of Amaterasu can kill Mizuki? Why did Mizuki come back alive?"

　　This time the plan to kill Mizuki failed again, and the third generation really couldn't bear it.

　　"Other gods are ineffective against Mizuki, and Amaterasu didn't kill Mizuki. Could it be that Mizuki has more hidden strength?"

　　At this moment, Sandai was a little panicked.

　　He didn't take Mizuki seriously before. Even if Mizuki had Apparated, even if Mizuki learned the Rasengan, the third generation still felt that it was nothing.

　　He always felt that if Mizuki was really strong, it would be impossible for him not to resist after being murdered several times by him.

　　Definitely not strong enough to resist.

　　Looking at it now, Sandai's thinking has changed.

　　I became afraid of Mizuki.

　　"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 defectes, Konoha will not be able to do anything to him."

　　"But he refused to defect. What was the reason for this?"

　　Sandai 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.

　　The third generation waited for a long time, but did not wait for Mizuki.

　　"Didn't Mizuki return to the village? Where did he go?"

　　Anbu reported: "Lord Hokage, 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."

　　The third generation 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.

　　"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?"

　　Sandai felt that he had guessed the truth.

　　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." The third generation 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 Sandai 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 the third generation feel that Mizuki is not a completely cold-blooded person.

　　In this way, Mizuki is not without emotional weaknesses.

　　"If used well, this will become a shortcut to subdue Mizuki." The third generation 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."

　　Shuimu 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 the third generation 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 of defecting.

　　At least, there are no plans to defect at this stage.

　　Even if he defected, he would not join other forces. Neither the Akatsuki organization 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.

　　Hei Jue 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 organization is peace in the shinobi world.

　　Uchiha Madara and Obito want to use Infinite Tsukuyomi to build a beautiful dream world.

　　In comparison, Mizuki has not yet found his ideal.

　　"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 traveling through time, 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!"
