Naruto's Savior

Chapter 5 The Most Important Thing
In Konoha Hokage's office, Sandai was smoking a cigarette while listening to Kakashi's report.Koharu, the advisor, was also there, but Mitomon Yan hadn't arrived yet, and the strange thing was that Shimura Danzo also came. It seems that the matter of Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and the Book of Seals has even alarmed Konoha Yukura.

Mizuki bowed his head and stood opposite, waiting for the big man to judge him.

After listening to Kakashi's report, Sandai tapped the pipe, exhaled smoke, and turned to look at Mizuki.

"Mizuki, do you have any objection to Kakashi's statement?"

"No, three generations of adults, everything is true."

"So, you admit to the crime of instigating Uzumaki Naruto to steal the sealed book?"

"Yes, I did everything."

"Then what is your purpose? Is it to obtain the sealed book?" Third Hokage suddenly emphasized his tone, and asked sternly, "Or are you colluding with others and preparing to betray the village?"

Hearing this, Mizuki Xin said that he came.

"I have no need for the Sealed Book, it's not something I can control, and I didn't collude with other people, I did all of this alone, and I have no dissatisfaction with the village, and I don't have the idea of ​​rebellion .”

Later, Xiaochun couldn't help it, "Nonsense, since you didn't want to be a traitor, why did you do such a thing? Don't try to hide it, Konoha has plenty of ways to make you tell the truth."

"My target is Iruka." Mizuki heard the question but gave an unexpected answer.

That's right, from the very beginning, Mizuki knew that he had missed the opportunity to clear his name due to his unclear suspicions.The time is too short to change the situation, so there is only one way to solve the problem - boiled down to one sentence, that is: one crime does not deserve double punishment, small crimes conceal major crimes, and then change the position to divert attention.As long as he is involved with Orochimaru and tries to defect without being known by the Third Hokage, there is still room for manipulation.

Mizuki looked at Kakashi on the side.I thought: just because you are here, it is more convincing and saves a lot of trouble.

The third generation is obviously not satisfied with Mizuki's answer.

"Are you at odds with Iruka? If I remember correctly, you and Iruka have been friends for many years. Do you resent Iruka for taking away the teacher position of the ninja school before you?"

"There have been."

"Once upon a time? Does that mean there is no more now? What an interesting statement." The scheming Danzo pointed out the meaning of Mizuki's words mercilessly, "Don't try to use words to erase your guilt, if you don't Speak your true purpose and motives, and we will take further action to obtain the truth."

A naked threat, putting pressure on Mizuki unabashedly.

"It's just to avoid this situation that I have to do so many things I don't want to do." Mizuki thought helplessly.

In fact, Mizuki also thought about confessing his problems directly when he first time traveled, but what should be said and what should not be said?If we only talk about the deceitful act of recapturing confidential documents, what is the motivation for surrendering?Now that he has done evil and made false reports to deceive Konoha.And why did you surrender yourself?Was he somehow threatened to confess to Konoha to cover up more problems?
If you also confess the connection with Orochimaru, it will not be a simple matter. If you collude with the S-rank rebellious ninja, you will always go to the torture department.With the willpower of a white-collar worker, the chances of surviving are slim, not to mention the secret mind-reading technique of the Yamanaka family.If his identity as a time traveler is exposed, it will not be a matter of detention and torture.Thinking about it makes me shudder, in this world where extraordinary power is rampant, without power, it is not easy to keep a secret.

That's why Mizuki took advantage of the situation to direct a play, find an excuse that fits his identity and status, make a mistake, take the opportunity to confess something, and avoid further investigation.The key lies in the induction of one's own positioning.Konoha must not be allowed to feel that he is a traitor or even an enemy, but just an ordinary ninja who has done some dangerous behaviors and made mistakes, and he must not let people catch the excuse.Then, judging from the overall Konoha high-level situation, it is very likely to be realized, that is, the contradiction between the conservative moderates and the radicals.If the operation is good, the contradictions between the enemy and ourselves can be reduced to the contradictions of differences in internal ideas.This is the method that can only be used by the absolute crushing of the traveler's intelligence.

"Danzo-sama, three generations of adults, I used to be dissatisfied because I was not as good as my Iruka in all aspects and took away my teacher's place, but after so long, I have realized that Iruka is indeed more suitable to be a ninja school teacher than me, Just because of his patience and sense of responsibility to a group of little devils, I am far behind. And what I want to prove is not these~"

"What exactly do you want?" Midai asked further.

"I want Iruka to understand that he is an excellent ninja school teacher, but definitely not an excellent ninja teacher. Hokage-sama, I firmly believe this."

"It's unreasonable for you to instigate Nine-Tails Jinchuriki to steal the sealed book for such a silly reason." Zhuanzhu Xiaochun scolded.

Mizuki didn't answer.Sandai and Danzo did not speak.There was a moment of silence.

After a while, Danzo asked: "So you let Uzumaki Naruto secretly learn the forbidden technique in the sealed book, and then defeat Iruka. Let him admit that he made a mistake in judgment, and was surpassed by someone who he thought had no ninja talent. That kind of thing is the most convincing, isn't it?"

"Yes." Mizuki admitted.

"Why do you disagree with Iruka? Just disagree with you? I remember that I had already ordered you to report for the graduation exam, but you still did unnecessary things." Sandai continued.

"I'm sorry for the third generation. I always think that for the children of the ninja school, as long as they graduate, they should be handled according to the ninja way, and the ninja game tricks should stop. The inexplicable innocence will only ruin these children. Future. It is too doting and arrogant to reject a child from the gate of ninja just because he is too worried about a few weaknesses. Only strength is the biggest reliance on the road of ninja, and he can pass the test of various tasks only qualified ninjas."

"Strength comes first? Mizuki, your idea is very dangerous. But this reason is too far-fetched." Sandai shook his head regretfully after hearing this.

"It's not strength first, but task first. Strength is a very important part, but not all."

"Your words are similar, it's just a matter of degree. Having said so much, you are still envious of Iruka."

When the topic came to this point, Mizuki felt a little out of control, but the goal was not fully achieved.However, the current situation is not unacceptable.

"Although I don't think that's the case, I can't completely deny it, Hokage-sama."

"That's right!"

There was another silence.

"It's deadlocked, what should I do? Should I take the initiative to confess? Or wait for another chance?"

There was only the sound of smoking in the room, and no one spoke.Just when Mizuki could hardly bear the atmosphere.The voice of the third generation came again.

"Mizuki, do you have anything to say about your secret document retrieval mission last time?"

Finally asked, Mizuki suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, pretended to be astonished and looked at Sandai, then lowered his head hesitantly, and said as if making up his mind: "I lied, Hokage-sama."

"What is the specific situation, you can clarify again."

"We are not strong enough to take away a person with serious leg injuries and limited mobility to complete the mission. I'm sorry, my lord."

"So you killed your teammate?" Sandai asked in shock.

"Yes." Mizuki replied.

Although he already knew that Mizuki had a problem and had been investigating for a while, he still felt unacceptable to hear it with his own eyes.

Next to him, Xiaoharu pointed at Mizuki with trembling fingers and said, "I can't believe that Konoha has a ninja who kills his compatriots. It's so lawless. Such a person is not worthy of being a ninja."

Hearing this, Mizuki was speechless, where is Hatake Kakashi's face going?I really want to see what Kakashi's face looks like now.

In fact, Mizuki was definitely not the only one who killed his companions in Konoha's mission, and the copy ninja Hatake Kakashi next to him was far more famous than himself.Moreover, Kakashi's act of killing teammate Rin Nohara directly caused Uchiha Obito to be blackened.But Hatake's house is really interesting.Kakashi killed his teammates for the mission, but his father gave up the mission for the sake of his teammates, and finally no one understood and committed suicide in anger.

So it seems that the seriousness of this matter is far less serious than imagined.Although killing teammates is rare, it is definitely not one or two.Abandoning teammates when the task is not good, or even leaking information to prevent being caught alive, having to kill teammates is not so unacceptable, but Konoha at this time and place will be criticized.On the contrary, the deceitful behavior of making false reports in order to avoid possible blame and punishment made the high-level officials even more afraid.This kind of behavior will undoubtedly be labeled as unscrupulous and non-reusable.After all, Ninja Village is, to put it bluntly, a semi-military mercenary organization.No one will trust a person who cheats his superiors.

This is the end of the matter, there is no need to ask any more questions.The Third Hokage ordered: "Kakashi, send Mizuki out." Kakashi sent the embarrassed Kakashi away, and then said to Mizuki: "You go back first, but you are not allowed to leave the village. It is best not to do it until the punishment measures come down." Misleading behavior."

Kakashi and Mizuki took the order, and then retreated.

"Do you want to investigate further, Sandai?" Zhuanzhu Xiaochun asked.

"No need," Sandai replied: "The incident is already very clear. A lot of truth has been obtained in the investigation of the mission of recovering the secret document, and Mizuki's answer is just confirmation. Regarding the sealed book incident, it is indeed impossible to find out who Mizuki wanted to seize the sealed book. The purpose and motivation, after all, many of the ninjutsu mentioned above are forbidden techniques that I cannot use. Moreover, Mizuki’s actions did not show the suspicion of seizing the sealed book. Through the observation of the telescope technique, there is no sign of defection The rhetoric against Iruka should be credible. Although Mizuki is still evasive about the specific reasons, this is an irrelevant matter, so there is no need to delve into it.”

"Even so, severe penalties must be imposed. The impact is too bad."

"Well, I'll take care of it."

"I think the ninja with such bad behavior should be expelled. This kind of unscrupulous behavior will damage Konoha's reputation." Zhuanzu Xiaochun said unrelentingly.

Danzo on the side interjected: "The ninja who made a mistake is also a Konoha ninja, not to mention he completed the task."

"But Mizuki lied and lied to Konoha."Turning to bed Xiaochun retorted.

Danzo didn't argue, just looked at Sandai.

The third generation caught in the middle took a puff of cigarette, then sighed...

After leaving the Hokage Studio, it was already bright outside, and there were many people on the street.Although very tired, Mizuki could really breathe a sigh of relief.Since he was not escorted to the torture department on the spot, he should have escaped the tiger stool pepper water, skin cramps, soul-searching and mind-reading. The matter of Orochimaru was not exposed, and the secret that he was a traverser was preserved.The previous debt was also paid off this time.Although it will be criticized by many people, as long as he is punished this time, no one will have an excuse to use these things to make use of them.As time went by, Hokage died in battle a few months later, and Konoha was short of manpower, so it is estimated that no one would care about these things before.Besides, it might be a good thing to change from a suspect to a person with a criminal record. Restricting movement and surveillance is also a form of protection in disguise.The more important things and tasks in the near future will not be entrusted to myself.Most of them are able to do some dirty work, maybe they can avoid some dangers.

Thinking of this, Mizuki couldn't help speeding up his pace of going home, and finally he could sleep peacefully. In less than a day, more brain cells were burnt to death than in a year.Prepare well next time, presumably there will be no more difficult things like this time.
