People are in Konoha, this Naruto lies flat

Naruto was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He looked at Mizuki, blinked and asked.

"Teacher Mizuki, you...what do you mean?"

Mizuki's mental state was a bit strange, giving people an indescribable abnormal feeling. It was as if he had been addicted to some kind of hallucinogen, which made him look particularly evil.

To be honest, even though he was mentally prepared, the moment Mizuki's face appeared, he was still shocked.

"The graduation exam for the ninja school is tomorrow, right?" Mizuki asked.

"Yeah." Naruto nodded.

"Is Naruto sure of passing the exam?" Mizuki narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Naruto with a half-smiling look.

"Well, Mr. Mizuki, you know me about this kind of thing." Naruto pretended to be embarrassed and scratched his head, "Probably graduation will be postponed again this year."

"So Naruto, do you want to become stronger? I happen to know a secret that will definitely help you pass the graduation exam smoothly."

Hearing this, Naruto's eyelids twitched slightly.

If Mizuki knew that he got perfect marks in the three body skills test this afternoon, he would not have said these words in front of him.

However, I did not see Mizuki at the ninja school all day today. It was normal that he didn't know about this. In other words, Mizuki didn't look for Iruka, but came directly to him.

Being so impatient, something must have happened that made Mizuki anxious to trick himself into stealing the Sealed Book.

But the problem is that the sealed book is a conspiracy of a village.

Regarding this, Naruto was extremely speechless.

Are you now worried about the mental state of the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki? Are you afraid that the Jinchuuriki will breed hatred towards the village?

Now that you are going through so much trouble to brainwash yourself with the approval of your partners, why did you go so far?

Speaking of which, this village is also strange. The brain circuits of the higher-ups seem to grow in the sewers.

If it was to protect information about the Jinchuuriki and prevent the villagers from knowing that he was the son of the Fourth Hokage, then what was the point of releasing the news about the Kyuubi?

Trying desperately to block the news that Naruto is the Yondaime's son, regardless of the rumors that Naruto is a fox demon, right? It's really a double standard, and it's just adding insult to injury.

Capitalists don't play like this. If they don't pay the compensation they should pay, they still have to pay. At the same time, they let the villagers target him and brainwash him to protect the village. It's too shameful.

The stage has been set, the actors are in place, and a brainwashing show of the Will of Fire against the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki is about to begin.

As long as he nodded in agreement, Mizuki would immediately inform Iruka that he had stolen the Sealed Book, and he could indeed steal the Sealed Book easily.

Mizuki didn't know what he had gotten so mad that he naively believed that a child could steal a sealed book that was as important as Kyuubi.

But the look in his eyes showed that he was convinced.

Naruto didn't want to agree. He had no interest in the Book of Sealing. Anyway, he could only learn one shadow clone in a short time, which was of little significance to him who was currently close to the system.

And he didn't want to get into the tear-jerking game set up and pretend to be moved, which would be more uncomfortable than killing him.

The village has treated him like this. If he is asked to protect those who treat him equally in the future, that would be acceptable, but it really makes it hard for him to believe that he wants to protect the village.

Why? Ask him to repay evil with kindness.

Dama!

Just when Naruto was about to refuse, the system panel popped up again.

[Option 1: Reject Mizuki's invitation and tell him to go away and don't disturb your nest. Reward: Full-level fishing skill.]

[Option 2: Accept Mizuki's invitation and steal the sealed book. Reward: Reincarnation of the dirty soil (incomplete)]

With one glance, Naruto immediately made a choice in his mind.

Although you can get an A-level Ninjutsu Shadow Clone by stealing the Sealed Book, you can also learn the incomplete version of the Ninja Reincarnation by the way.

But...what's the use of the incomplete version of the Reincarnation of the Dirty Land? Using this trick requires a living sacrifice! It's tasteless to eat, and it's a pity to throw it away.

At the moment, Naruto has no one in particular that he wants to resurrect.

Although the shadow clone is indeed very tempting to him, if he gets involved in troublesome things, he will appear very passive in the future.

"Teacher Mizuki, please forgive me for refusing." Naruto's voice was calm.

"What?" Mizuki was a little surprised.

It seemed that he didn't expect Naruto to reject him. In his impression, Naruto had always been the kind of simple-minded and impulsive person.

"Why? Naruto-kun, this is a precious opportunity. If you give up, you will definitely regret it in the future!"

"Teacher Mizuki, you don't need to waste any more words." Naruto glanced at him, "My mind has been made up, and there is no point in talking about it."

"Naruto, don't you want to become stronger and be recognized by the people in the village?" Mizuki was still making the final struggle.

"Ah, don't do that kind of thing, it's so troublesome." Naruto said nonchalantly, "When I was a child, people in the village didn't like me."

"If I continue to mess around, it will only make others hate me even more."

Hearing this, Shuimu also choked for a moment.

After a while...

"Naruto, don't you want to know why everyone in the village treats you like that?" Mizuki's voice sounded again, with a hint of confusion.

"You want to say that I am a fox demon, right?" Naruto's voice had no emotion, and he said lazily, holding a fishing rod in his hand, "The nine-tailed demon fox that destroyed the village and killed the villagers?"

"You! How do you know?" Shuimu took a few steps back and said with a shocked look on his face.

"Please, I am already twelve years old, not a three-year-old kid anymore." Naruto turned to stare at Mizuki, "Mizuki-sensei, I have long ears."

"I grew up in a village. I have been ignored since I can remember and have very few friends. The shop owner always has a gloomy face when he sees me, and so do the surrounding villagers."

"I also want to buy some fresh vegetables and live under the sun like a normal person. But I am destined to huddle in a corner and watch my peers come home from school for dinner."

"Teacher Mizuki, you have also been isolated, right? You must understand. Suffering is not a treasure, it is just unavoidable."

"When I was bullied, no one spoke for me, and when others ridiculed me, I could only lower my head and remain silent, even though I knew it was not me who was wrong."

"But so what? I'm not a fox demon, and everything has nothing to do with me. I'm just myself, Uzumaki Naruto."

Mizuki: "Why are you? You already know it! Aren't you dissatisfied with this village?"

Naruto withdrew his gaze and locked his eyes on the fishing rod under the moonlight. The fishhook was hanging under the water, and ripples appeared around it.

He didn't know whether the person who asked this question was Mizuki himself, or the person behind the scenes who controlled Mizuki. Are you dissatisfied with the village?

Of course he was dissatisfied, but he couldn't say it out loud. At least, not now.

After a long time, a mechanical synthesized sound appeared in Naruto's mind.

[Fishing skills at full level take effect]

A grass carp was caught by Naruto, and his voice also sounded. The voice seemed very calm in the night sky, as if harmonizing with the night wind.

"Won't."
