Ch. 79. Targeting Rock Lee. [2]

　　After leaving the orphanage, Mizuki began to think about taking on a disciple.

　　Among the twelve little heroes of Konoha, apart from those who inherited family hidden technique's and Bloodline Limit, the only ones who have a chance are Rock Lee and Tenten.

　　Mizuki:

- "Rock Lee is a taijutsu user, and Tenten is a ninja tools user."

- "I'm not good at these two things, so I can't seem to impress them."

Since you want to accept a disciple, then you have to be better than the disciple.

　　In terms of physical skills, Mizuki is definitely no match for Rock Lee. In terms of ninja tools, Mizuki is only half a bucket full of water.

　　Unless Rock Lee and Tenten were blind, they would worship him as their Sensei.

　　After all the calculations, it seems difficult to win the remaining Nine of the Twelve Newbies.

　　Mizuki:

- "How about going to Konohamaru?"

This idea was rejected by him as soon as he came up with it.

　　Sandaime is not dead yet. Now go to Konohamaru and ask him to become his disciple. Sandaime will definitely stop him.

　　Mizuki:

- "Trouble!"

- "Ninja school, can it start early!"

　　There are so many young talents in the ninja school. Even if their qualifications are not as good as those of Naruto and Sasuke, the quality is not enough and the quantity is sufficient.

　　Even if they are all like Nobita, if we recruit dozens of them, wouldn't it take off?

　　Mizuki walked down the street with a melancholy look on his face. He was very unhappy that he couldn't receive a disciple.

　　At this time, three little guy's passed by.

　　Konohamaru said happily:

- "Hehehe, I finally defeated Grandpa!"

　　Moegi:

- "What? The [Seduction Technique] you used is not considered a defeat at all. A real defeat is to defeat someone head-on with great strength."

　　Udon:

- "Konohamaru, I think Moegi is right. The [Seduction Technique] is useless to me, and the Sandaime will not fall for it. He must be pretending."

　　Konohamaru was not happy:

- "Who said he was pretending? Didn't you see that his nosebleed came out?"

- "Who says it must be defeated head-on? No matter what technique it is, as long as it can defeat the enemy, it is valuable."

　　Mizuki on the side heard this and an idea flashed in his mind.

　　His eyes were wide open and his face was full of excitement.

　　Yes, why didn't I think of it earlier?

　　Who said that to become Rock Lee's Sensei, you have to rely on physical skills?

　　No matter what method you use, it will work. As long as he can make him worship me as his Sensei, it will be a success.

　　Mizuki:

- "Hahaha!"

He burst out laughing.

　　Three guy's on the side were startled by the sudden laughter.

　　Konohamaru recognized Mizuki:

- "Hey, he's Brother Naruto's Sensei!"

　　Mizuki looked at Konohamaru and said:

- "You are right, no matter what technique it is, as long as it can defeat the enemy, it is valuable."

- "Your words inspired me a lot, and I decided to treat you to delicious food."

- "Meatball shop, you can have as much as you want, how about it?"

　　Who knows, Konohamaru looked disdainful after hearing this:

- "Tch, what's so delicious about meatballs? I'm tired of them."

　　Mizuki:

- "..."

Well, Sandaime's grandson is not comparable to those orphans in the orphanage.

　　Growing up, I had everything I wanted, and it was normal to get tired of eating meatballs.

　　Mizuki asked:

- "Then what do you want?"

　　Konohamaru rolled his eyes and said:

- "You are Brother Naruto's Sensei, and you must have invented the [Seduction Technique]. Can you teach me a ninjutsu that is stronger than the [Seduction Technique]?"

　　Mizuki was speechless:

- "Didn't I invent the [Seduction Technique]?"

　　But this is an opportunity, maybe, you can earn a well-qualified apprentice for free.

　　Mizuki:

- "I have many Ninjutsu here that are stronger than the [Seduction Technique]. I can teach you them, but you must be like Naruto and worship me as your Sensei."

　　Konohamaru said in surprise:

- "That's great, I'll bow down now..."

Before he finished speaking, an ANBU suddenly appeared.

　　ANBU:

- "Master Konohamaru, Hokage-sama is looking for you."

　　Konohamaru said:

- "Wait a moment, I will apprentice first."

　　ANBU:

- "No, Hokage-sama is anxious to see you, please hurry up!"

　　Konohamaru said disappointedly:

- "Okay!"

　　Before leaving, Konohamaru said to Mizuki:

- "Just wait, I will come to you again."

　　Watching Konohamaru walking away, Mizuki sighed inwardly.

　　Alas, it is indeed so!

　　Mizuki:

- "However, since I have become familiar with Konohamaru, it will be much easier to accept him as my disciple in the future."

　　At this moment, the ANBU said:

- "Special Jonin Mizuki, Konohamaru is the grandson of Sandaime. Not everyone can be his Sensei. Please pay attention to your identity."

　　Mizuki's eyes narrowed, and the next moment he activated his [Substitution Technique: Displacement], switching places with a stone behind the ANBU.

　　ANBU felt that the person in front of him suddenly disappeared, and then there was a piercing murderous aura behind him.

　　Cold sweat broke out from his forehead.

　　Mizuki:

- "Don't talk to me in this tone. I hate bullies who take advantage of themselves."

　　At this time, there were a few "shua~shua~" sounds, and two more ANBU appeared and surrounded Mizuki.

　　ANBU N2:

- "Mizuki, what do you want to do?"

　　Mizuki smiled lightly:

- "It's nothing, just a joke."

　　After saying that, he turned around and left with a contemptuous smile on his lips.

　　He continued to wander around the village, and after a few hours, he finally found his target.

　　Rock Lee:

- "9996...9997...9998...the last two are still short of 10,000. If you can't complete it, then you will punish yourself by continuing to run 500 laps around the village."

　　A young man wearing green tights was walking upside down around the village. He was sweating profusely and his hands were shaking, but he still persisted.

　　Weights were tied to his legs, waist, and hands.

　　Rock Lee, Mizuki's new apprentice candidate.

　　Mizuki:

- "Rock Lee?"

　　Rock Lee heard someone calling his name couldn't hold on anymore and fell to the ground:

- "Who?"

　　Mizuki was a little embarrassed, as if he was disturbing the other person's practice:

- "Uh..."

　　Unexpectedly, Rock Lee stood up the next moment and said with a happy face:

- "The training plan of walking 10,000 times around the village has not been achieved, so next, I will run 500 times around the village."

　　The corners of Mizuki's eyes twitched crazily.

　　Why are you so happy when you fail?

　　You obviously failed on purpose just to run 500 laps.

　　The guilt that had just arisen in Mizuki heart disappeared in an instant.

　　At this time, Rock Lee had already seen Mizuki's clothes and face clearly:

- "It turns out it's Senior Mizuki. Senior, when he comes to such a remote place, is he also practicing youth?"

- "As expected of a senior, he worked so hard. My youth was ignited again, and I decided to do another 300 laps."

The sudden burst of enthusiasm, as well as the teeth that dinged and flashed in the sunset, made Mizuki's eyes twitch.

　　Mizuki:

- "No, no, no, I'm not as young as you."

At this moment, he had the urge to turn around and leave.

　　It's a bit unbearable!

　　Mizuki:

- "Ahem, Rock Lee, stop for a moment. I came here specifically to find you."

　　Rock Lee asked curiously:

- "Senior, do you have anything to do with me?"

　　Mizuki:

- "I heard that you don't know Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, or even chakra, so you can only specialize in Taijutsu, is that right?"

　　Rock Lee replied:

- "No, I do have chakra, but the refining speed is very slow, so I can't release ninjutsu and genjutsu. I can't even use the most basic [Three-Body Technique]."

- "So, I can only practice taijutsu."

- "But I firmly believe that I can succeed even in taijutsu."

　　Mizuki smiled:

- "Then, if your chakra refining speed can be increased, the premise is to become my Sensei, will you be willing?"

　　Rock Lee replied directly:

- "I don't want to!"
