Ch. 15. The Consumption of [Substitution Technique: Displacement]. [2]

After Shikaku was shocked, he asked:

- "So, Sandaime-Sama what is the mission you have given me?"

　　Third Hokage:

- "The Nara clan is very knowledgeable in medicine. I order you to take this elixir back and study it carefully, and try to improve it as much as possible to eliminate its restrictions on bloodline."

- "If it succeeds, Konoha's strength will advance by leaps and bounds, reaching the heights of the First Hokage again, or even exceeding them."

- "At that time, the Fire Country will no longer be threatened by other countries. In fact, the entire ninja world will usher in peace."

　　Shikaku wanted to refuse, but Sandaime didn't seem to give him the right to refuse at all, and directly handed over the elixir.

He could only take the elixir and said:

- "Hokage-Sama, I can only promise to research it to the best of my ability, but I can't guarantee whether it can be done or not."

The Third Hokage waved his hand and said: - "This mission has no time limit, ten years, twenty years, fifty years, one hundred years. As long as Konoha is still there and as long as the Nara clan is still there, the mission must continue until it succeeds. "

　　Nara Shikaku was also shocked by the determination of Sandaime.

　　Nara Shikaku:

- "In this case, I will do my best, and the Nara clan will also do their best."

　　After Shikaku left, Sandaime sighed:

- "I hope it can be researched as soon as possible."

- "There are also ANBU sent to the Uzushio Village ruins, hoping to find more of this elixir."

　　After taking a few puffs on his pipe, he took out the crystal ball and used the [Telescope Technique].

　　Three minutes later, blood suddenly spurted from his nostrils and he fell to the ground.

　　I finally got up, my face still red.

　　Third Hokage:

- "Naruto is a guy who doesn't learn from good things and just comes up with crooked ideas."

- "He actually combined the [Seduction Technique] with the [Multiple Shadow Clone Technique] to develop the [Harem Technique]. It's so ridiculous."

- "If Konohamaru follows him, I always feel like he will learn bad things in the future."

　　Using the [Telescope Technique] and changing the perspective, Mizuki was quickly found.

　　Third Hokage:

- "Fishing?"

　　Third Hokage just couldn't understand it:

- "A great ninja didn't practice ninjutsu, refine chakra, or practice shuriken, kunai, but he went fishing?"

- "At such a young age, you are already living the life of an elderly person?"

- "I haven't retired yet, why do you have time to fish?"

　　Seeing Mizuki sitting quietly by the river, staring at the fish float without blinking, Sandaime felt jealous.

　　But at the same time, he also saw tranquility and love for life in Mizuki.

　 Third Hokage:

- "Will such a person really defect?"

- "Or maybe he sensed that someone was watching him, so he deliberately fished and pretended to love life and Konoha so that the village could dispel their suspicion of him?"

　　As old conspirators and elder statesmen, Sandaime has always been good at trying to figure out people's hearts with the greatest malice.

　　So he felt that Mizuki was pretending:

- "Hmph, it's okay to lie to others, but you're a little too young to lie to me."

　　He labeled Mizuki as good at disguise, and became more wary of Mizuki.

　　Third Hokage:

- "However, for such a dignified chunin to go fishing, this is too unprofessional."

- "The Ninja School is about to have two months of summer vacation. We can't let him sit idle all day."

- "He has plans to defect, so he cannot be allowed to take on the task of leaving the village. In this case, why not..."

　　He quickly produced a letter of appointment and called for an ANBU.

　　Third Hokage:

- "Early tomorrow morning, send this appointment letter to Chunin Mizuki's home and hand it over to him."

　　Time passed and it was night in a blink of an eye.

　　Late at night, Mizuki closed the doors and windows, drew the curtains, and turned off the lights.

　　The room was dark, and he began to experiment with apparation.

　　The target of the exchange is a chair.

　　For the first time, the chair was placed in the living room and the others were in the bedroom, 10 meters apart.

　　With a "bang", white smoke appeared, and the positions of Mizuki and the chair were successfully exchanged.

　　Mizuki:

- "About one-tenth of the chakra was consumed. Sure enough, it was less than what was consumed last night."

　　Last night when he used [Substitution Technique: Displacement], the distance between him and the opponent was more than 30 meters, close to 40 meters.

　　Now the experimental results are out. The further away the target is, the greater the consumption will be.

　　Keep experimenting.

　　Extend the distance to 15 meters, which is already the longest distance between his homes.

　　When he used [Substitution Technique: Displacement], again, his chakra consumption was about one-third more than before.

Mizuki:

-"Proportional to distance."

-"It is estimated that for every 1 meter of distance, an additiona chakra of l 0.01 Kakashi's is consumed."

-"With my current total amount of chakra, I can move up to 110 meters at a time, but my chakra will also be exhausted."

　　110 meters, which is very close for a ninja.

　　If you want to use this opportunity to defect to Konoha, it is absolutely impossible.

Mizuki:

- "So, my total amount of chakra is far from enough."

- "Let's take Sasuke to eat ramen tomorrow."
