Shinigami Jinchuriki In Naruto

---

Konoha Ninja Village.

"How's the investigation into what happened last time going?"

Mizuno asked in the Hokage's office.

It had been several days since Senju Mineshi was rescued, and Danzo's injuries had healed. Mizuno came to check on the progress.

The Third Hokage shook his head. "We only know that the people who came were from the Land of Water. We haven't received any specific information yet. After all, there aren't many spies who can be sent so far away to the Land of Water."

Mizuno nodded. He understood. Konoha had just gotten a new Hokage, and there were many things to do. There were simply too few people to spare.

He glanced at the table and noticed the latest list of genin in the village.

A new batch of ninjas had graduated from the Ninja Academy. Sarutobi was presenting them now, clearly indicating that Konoha was in dire need of manpower.

And at the top of the list were the names of Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade!

"So, you've got your eye on these few?" Sarutobi asked with a smile.

Mizuno shook his head. "No, no, no. I'm just curious. Why did you put them together?"

Sarutobi picked up the pipe on the table. "There are a lot of new genin graduating recently. I've arranged corresponding teachers for them. These three are my students. I've already entrusted the Ino-Shika-Chō trio to the Sarutobi clan to train. There are also many new classes. I plan to have them in groups of three."

Mizuno nodded to show he understood. From now on, Konoha would enter the era of groups of three.

He looked at Orochimaru's profile and felt a sense of melancholy. A child who had just graduated, who would have thought that he would become the one who killed the Third Hokage.

Sarutobi looked at him with a touch of affection. "This is the son of Ryūkotsu-sensei. He's one of my favorite students. He has a lot of ninja talent."

Mizuno was surprised. "Ryūkotsu-sensei?"

It sounded like Orochimaru's father, but he had never seen him before.

"Ryūkotsu-sensei and Byakushi-hime are on a secret mission for the Second Hokage. They haven't come back yet. I've taken their son under my wing," Sarutobi said naturally.

This was truly surprising. Mizuno frowned slightly. In the original story, Orochimaru's parents died when he was a child. Now he had already graduated from the Ninja Academy. Hopefully, his parents didn't die on this mission, and he could still see Orochimaru become a ninja.

Sarutobi began to organize the documents in his hand. Mizuno naturally saw another name that stood out.

Might Duy.

His heart skipped a beat.

Might Duy, the Eight Inner Gates?

Mizuno suddenly remembered that Guy's father, Might Duy, was of average talent. He was a genin for a long time. Although he was older, he was still on this list.

He had a flash of inspiration. Wasn't this his second target?

Mizuno now possessed 80% of Uchiha Kagami's strength. His eyes had reached the three-tomoe level. It could be said that he was already a top ninja in this era in terms of the Sharingan. Although he couldn't awaken the Mangekyō, his mastery of genjutsu was already quite high.

But he was still lacking in jutsu and taijutsu.

If you were to say which taijutsu was the strongest in Naruto, it would be the Eight Inner Gates.

After all, it was the technique that almost kicked its way to a grand finale.

If he could make Might Duy, who had practiced the Eight Inner Gates, sign a blood contract with him...

Thinking about it, he got a little excited. His hand unconsciously rested on Might Duy's profile.

Sarutobi noticed his change. "What, you're interested in this ninja?"

Mizuno nodded. "What level is he at now?"

Sarutobi shook his head. "He's pretty average. He's been a genin for a long time. His genjutsu and ninjutsu skills are very low, only his taijutsu is barely passable, but..."

Mizuno looked at Sarutobi and proposed his idea.

"I remember, the Second Hokage's collection has some secrets about taijutsu, right?"

Sarutobi was slightly surprised to hear this.

The Second Hokage had a separate laboratory, where he stored many secret techniques. This was related to the Second Hokage's research, including the research on the Sharingan, the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques, the modification of Edo Tensei, etc. Naturally, there was a set of taijutsu secrets in there.

"You mean the Eight Inner Gates?" Sarutobi asked.

Mizuno nodded. "Since this ninja has some talent in taijutsu, why not give it to him?"

"Absolutely not." Sarutobi said resolutely.

"The Eight Inner Gates are extremely difficult to practice. They also cause great harm to the user, and the success rate is extremely low. It's not suitable to be taught to others."

Mizuno understood. Objectively speaking, the Eight Inner Gates were indeed not something that ordinary ninjas could practice. In the entire Naruto series, only Might Duy's lineage had passed it down.

From another perspective, this precisely indicated that this technique was meant for Might Duy, Rock Lee, and the others.

Mizuno leaned back, looking like he was negotiating. "I want this person, including the Eight Inner Gates. Tell me, what can I do to get it from you?"

Sarutobi smiled. He found that Mizuno seemed to enjoy making deals with him.

Normally, he wouldn't want to refuse Mizuno's request, but this matter was truly serious. Might Duy, a simple genin, had no reason to get a secret technique from the Second Hokage's lab for no reason.

After all, Sarutobi was in the Hokage's position, and so many eyes were watching him. He had to be fair in his actions.

"Unless he can make a contribution, a big one."

Mizuno waved his hand. "Tell me, what's the highest-level mission in Konoha right now?"

Sarutobi was shocked.

He didn't expect Mizuno to be so determined.

"You want him that badly?"

Mizuno nodded. "That's right. I know it's difficult for you. Boldly bring out the mission. I'll help you silence everyone else."

Sarutobi pulled out an S-rank file from his drawer.

"Mizuno, don't force yourself. If you can complete this mission, any reward is negotiable."

Mizuno glanced at the file, then opened it. After reading it, his pupils involuntarily contracted.

He looked up at Sarutobi with an unbelievable expression.

I just want a collection from the lab, and you want me to risk my life?

Sarutobi on the other side had a look of a sly businessman, leaning back in his office chair.

This is what you chose, it has nothing to do with me.

Mizuno snorted. "Fine, Sarutobi, you're ruthless."

Sarutobi smiled slightly. "Giving up?"

Mizuno grabbed the file. "I'll take it, but I have one condition."

Sarutobi was surprised. "Tell me."

Mizuno said, "Pay me!"

...

...

Mizuno returned to his lab.

He looked at the file. It wasn't an ordinary mission. It was a mission that Sarutobi himself had planned, about the Second Hokage's revenge.

It clearly stated, Super S-rank Mission: Assassinate Kinkaku and Ginkaku!

Mizuno's breathing quickened when he first saw it.

He still had six chances for the Second Hokage to descend. Normally, Konoha's missions shouldn't be a problem.

After all, how many people in this world can defeat the Second Hokage?

Then he opened the file. Good heavens, Kinkaku and Ginkaku.

Mizuno instantly felt like he had been reincarnated as a bad luck charm.

Damn it, I'm relying on the Second Hokage's reincarnation, and you give me two people who can kill the Second Hokage.

But he had to take this mission. He needed Might Duy to practice the Eight Inner Gates as soon as possible.

Moreover, Mizuno wasn't completely without a plan. He had an idea in mind.
