Mizuki's plan

" Don't tell me this! No! It's your technique, keep it to yourself, I can't just steal your hardwork like that Mizuki! "

Exclaimed Iruka as Mizuki put his fingers in his ears, for the duration, seeing as how Iruka was once again about to pop a nerve, Mizuki remedied swiftly

" Yeah yeah alright, I am not telling you how I am doing this anyway, just the basics won't hurt, besides summoned beasts require a lot of care, not everyone will use one even if they could "

Iruka breathed a sigh of relief as Mizuki didn't explain the technique to him any further, but he disagreed on one thing Mizuki said, so he quickly proceeded to give him a piece of his mind

" That might be true Mizuki, but you are on your way to create summoned beasts in dozens.. it might be cutting short their individual life but critters like these are plentiful and reproduce by dozens, these are group creatures, as long as the group survives they survive, truly, their style of living resembles the aburame bugs a lot, quite fascinating creatures.. it is almost like they embody the will of fire itself... "

Mizuki internally rolled his eyes at that, but got along with it

" And how did you know it cuts down on lifespan? "

Questioned Mizuki with his brow raised, on which Iruka replied angrily

" I was getting to that! Why do you have those herbs lying around right there?! Knowing what you are working on ofcourse I will connect the dots! Those are vitality stimulation herbs aren't they? Vitality is chakra! If i dont even figure this out I might as well stop being a Ninja now, so hide it already! I don't want to see someone getting all this and stealing credit from you "

Mizuki laughed sheepishly and raised his hands in surrender as he nodded and said

" I'll get to it, I just didn't care as you know.. nobody but you actually visits.. "

Iruka was distraught as he thought he reminded his friend of his loneliness, completely wanting to ignore the same sadness creeping up on him as he remembered his now dead family.

" Sorry.. but still, even if it's just me, hide it now, genjutsu is a thing you know, I don't want to be accidentally giving away your secrets "

Flashing a smile Mizuki gave a thumbs up as he started to gather up the medical herbs he purposely placed there.

' And that's done, completely derailed Iruka's thinking with these, sorry buddy, this had to be done, getting the fake news out while I work on the real deal is the only cover possible for me, living amongst Ninja much stronger than you, one has to get.. creative. '

As he gathered up all the herbs he flashed he thumbs up to Iruka as he went towards his bedroom, presumably to hide the herbs, Iruka would think.

Flashing the same thumbs up to his friend even though his back was turned, Iruka called out and let him know

" Good! Alright I'll be going now, I gotta work on my.. chakra control. And you do your thing, don't worry about me "

Iruka said while he saw a thumb's up peeking through the bedroom door frame as the rest of Mizuki was hidden behind, flashing a smile even though Mizuki couldn't see, Iruka left.

closing the door behind him.

Mizuki flashed a smile of his own as he heard the sound, straightening up as he put the herbs in a now locked box, Mizuki decided to go over his plans once more, reviewing any area needed modifications

' That should set up enough scattered information for the inevitable deep checks, comes with living in a Ninja village, you gain some you lose some I suppose. As I gain strength quickly there will be suspicions, from spy to forbidden techniques, a village this big can't take risks after all. And if my theory holds up, which is looking like it will all things considered. I will gain strength quite quickly. '

Mizuki stretched a little to get the blood flowing, he has to being testing his new body, it has been a few days but he didn't have enough time to deep check his capabilities, the academy took a lot of his time up, now that they have a two day holiday, he can comfortably get familiar with skills.

' I received the memory of Mizuki from 1st person, but it was no reincarnation memory injection or something like that, no.. if my theory is correct, it was something much more natural, something akin to the brain's flashing of life memories as the body is dying, no in my case, it was reviving, but to a body the critical state it is all the same, death or revival. '

Mizuki opens up the now closed door as he reaches the small yard, a place old Mizuki spent quite a bit of his money on to get. He had a thing for owning a house with a yard. The residence was quite small, but it has all the necessities.
