Ch. 21. The hunt for the Missing-Ninja Mizuki. [2]

In the Hokage's office, Iruka also said goodbye and left, leaving only the Third Hokage.

　　Third Hokage:

- "Naruto and Sasuke would rather have Mizuki than Kakashi."

His eyes were dark.

- "It seems that we can't let him walk freely in the village anymore. If this continues, a Jinchuriki and an Uchiha orphan will really be led astray by him."

- "Plans must be implemented in advance."

　　30,000,000 ryo is not a small sum, and Sandaime believes that as long as there is a chance, Mizuki will never be able to bear it.

　　That afternoon, Sandaime announced that in order to celebrate the graduation of the new generation of ninjas, all the staff of the Hokage Building would have a day off tomorrow.

　　For Mizuki, it's also good to have a day off.

　　Mizuki:

- "Catch more fish tomorrow and take them to the orphanage to get acquainted with them first."

- "As for Sakura, let's get in touch tomorrow too."

　　Mizuki felt a headache when he thought of Sakura's disgusted look when Team 7 came to receive the mission in the afternoon and Naruto called him Sensei.

　　Sakura hated Naruto, and Naruto called Mizuki to Sensei, so Sakura also hated Mizuki.

　　This made it more difficult for him to accept Sakura as his disciple.

　　Mizuki:

- "Sasuke, a traitor, doesn't know how to call me Sensei, otherwise things wouldn't be so troublesome."

　　Tomorrow I must let Sakura know that Sasuke is also my apprentice, Mizuki.

　　When the time comes, let's see if you still don't want to be my disciple.

　　The next day was a holiday, and Mizuki wanted to sleep in.

　　But early in the morning, ANBU came to the door.

　　ANBU:

- "Chunin Mizuki, Hokage is looking for you, you can go directly to Sandaime-Sama home."

　　Mizuki was shocked:

- "What the hell is this Old Fossil doing?:

　　Feeling wary, he arrived at the Sandaime's house and saw the Sandaime in casual clothes.

　　Third Hokage:

- "Mizuki, today is supposed to be a day off, but there is something that needs you to solve."

- "In the neighboring village 30 miles to the north, Granny Yunbei asked the genin of the village to plant seedlings yesterday. But early this morning, Granny Yunbei asked someone to come and said that the planting was improper and all the seedlings died, and she demanded compensation from the village."

- "This is a D-level mission, and the reward is 2,000 ryo. If the news from Granny Yunbian is true, then not only will the 2,000 ryo be returned, but an additional 2,000 ryo and seedlings will have to be compensated."

　　After saying that, Sandaime took out a scroll.

　　Third Hokage:

- "This is the Seal Scroll, which contains seedlings. Go to the office again, take 4,000 ryo from the safe, and then immediately go to the neighboring village."

- "If the loss of seedlings is indeed caused by improper planting, then compensation will be provided."

　　After that, he was given a pass to leave the village.

　　Mizuki thought to himself:

- "Good guy."

- "It's a holiday for all members of the Hokage Tower, it's a sealing scroll, and it's a general order. This is a perfect way to lure me into defecting with money."

- If it were the original Mizuki, he would be 100% fooled."

　　Mizuki:

- "Okay, Sandaime-Sama, I will go handle this matter immediately."

　　There was a flash of greed in his eyes, which was caught by Sandaime in time.

　　The Third Hokage was immediately overjoyed:

- "He really couldn't help it."

　　Looking at Mizuki's leaving figure, Sandaime showed a cunning smile.

　　Take out the crystal ball and observe the whole process.

　　Mizuki came to the Hokage Building, entered the office, opened the safe, took out the money, and put it into the seal scroll.

　　The safe was placed under the table, and Mizuki blocked it with his body. As a result, Sandaime condescending view could not see clearly how much money Mizuki took.

　　But what is certain is that Mizuki's hand has been moving, and it definitely doesn't look like he is only taking 4,000 ryo.

The Third Hokage is very happy:

- "Haha, well done!"

　　After Mizuki walked out of the village gate, Sandaime immediately went to the Hokage Tower to summon the jounin in the village.

　　After a while, Kakashi, Sarutobi Asuma, Yuhi Kurenai and other jonins arrived one after another.

　　Third Hokage:

- "Someone reported that Mizuki had stolen a huge amount of money and has now defected from the village."

　　Kakashi frowned and asked:

- "That chunin downstairs handing out D-level mission rewards?"

　　Third Hokage:

"Yes, that's him. He is in charge of the key to the safe, and today he was sent out of the village to perform a task. However, he stayed in and stole the money in the safe, totaling 30,000,000 ryo, and took advantage of the opportunity to defect out of the village."

　　All jonin were silent.

　　A part-time employee during the summer vacation is in charge of the keys to the safe, and there is 30,000,000 ryo in the safe. This is clearly a case of fishing and law enforcement.

　　But no one dared to raise objections. If anyone wanted to blame him, he could only blame Mizuki for being greedy.

　　He continued:

- "We are now issuing a mission to hunt down the traitorous ninja Mizuki. The mission requirement is to capture the traitorous ninja Mizuki."

- "This mission is jointly carried out by Kakashi's Team 7 and Kurenai's Team 8."

　　Kakashi:

- "Sandaime-sama, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to take a few newly graduated genin with you on a mission to hunt down traitorous ninjas."

　　Third Hokage:

- "It doesn't matter, Mizuki is not strong, they will not be in danger."

- "Okay, that's it for sure. Gather your men immediately and set off to capture Mizuki."

- "If he resists, life or death will not matter."
