Chapter 17 : Maki and Jinmeiyo

Unknowingly, the school day came to an end, and as agreed, Maki had to head to the family residence to practice with her three grandfathers.

After school, the Jinmeiyo naturally approached Maki.

It looked like they were going home together, but the Uchiha clan's place was opposite to Miki's family.

This situation didn't feel right.

Observing the gentle and natural expression on Jinmeiyo's face, Maki glanced at the boy who was not far behind Jinmeiyo, seemingly contemplating approaching but hesitant.

She couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Today's little girl is truly remarkable in terms of tactics.

"Maki, do you want to go home together?" the Jinmeiyo asked.

"It's not on my way," Maki refused.

Maki didn't want to become so close that they'd be strolling hand in hand, sharing every step, like some of the girls in school.

"By the way," the Jinmeiyo said with a smile, "It's scary."

"Whatever you want," Maki replied.

With nothing to pack, textbooks and belongings already on the desk, Maki got up and left immediately.

The Jinmeiyo followed, and the two walked out of the school together, leaving Yashiro Uchiha behind.

No need to look back; Maki knew how smitten that boy was.

Not like a challenger.

More like a little boy in love, Taken advantage of.

Maki didn't mind the triviality of the situation.

She didn't exchange many words with the Jinmeiyo along the way. Instead, it was Jinmeiyo who opened his mouth to explain.

After Uchiha Yashiro followed them for a few streets and eventually left, Jinmeiyo spoke up, "he is not a bad person, but I find him a little annoying."

"Well, that's right," Maki said. "What's wrong is that he is ugly."

"I don't like him. He's too childish and naive," Jinmeiyo said. "I hope he can back off on his own. I'll have to rely on you in the future, Maki."

"You don't need to use this method to make him back off," Maki said.

"What can I do?" Jinmeiyo asked. "I Don't want to be too cruel to him."

"Sometimes cruelty is the best way to be gentle," Maki replied. "In this situation, it makes you feel uncomfortable too."

"So?" Jinmeiyo asked.

"Let it be clear and just say, you are too ugly and are not suitable for me," Maki said.

Perhaps he will even be stimulated to awaken the Sharingan.

That would be a great thing.

"As expected of you," Jinmeiyo said with a helpless smile. "It would be nice if things were that simple."

"Otherwise, what can you do? Keep following me for a while. What if he hugs you and looks at you? You smile at him. You have these thoughts and hopes in your heart and he never gives up."

"Ah!" Jinmeiyo obviously didn't think so much. After all, she was young and lacked such life experience.

"Will this happen?" Jinmeiyo asked.

"Generally speaking, that's generally the case," Maki said. "It's like you think we are friends now."

After listening, the Jinmeiyo showed no embarrassment on his face and smiled, "Aren't we friends?"

"Really?" Maki asked.

"You didn't reject me," Jinmeiyo said. "I don't think I'm annoying at all."

"You see, that boy Yashiro thinks the same way," Maki said softly.

"That makes sense," Jinmeiyo nodded.

"Maki ." Following the Jinmeiyo, he asked, "Do you really hate me?"

Maki didn't want to answer such boring questions.

"Do you really hate me?" Jinmeiyo asked.

"Do you really hate me?" she pressed further.

"As expected, Maki is very gentle."

A crisp laugh sounded in Maki 's ears.

"Don't you want to go back? I'm going to practice," Maki said.

"Practice?" Jinmeiyo asked. "Does a genius like Maki need to practice hard?"

"Isn't this an obvious thing? No one is born with it," Maki said.

"Is that so?" Jinmeiyo said. "I always feel that Maki is born with it."

To some extent, this is true.

"Don't you practice?" Maki asked.

Jinmeiyo shook his head and said, "There's nothing to practice; just take a look and you'll be able to do it."

Ah, this...

Sharingan is willful.

One night, Maki still didn't understand how to use the three escape techniques she acquired yesterday.

This is basically the case.

Brain: Ah, I know it.

Hand: No, you won't.

"As expected of you," Maki said.

"Is there anything you don't know how to do, shuriken? I'll teach you," Jinmeiyo said. "Do you want to learn how to throw shuriken?"

"Let's forget about this technique that is so difficult just hearing about it," Maki said.

Laughing to death, she couldn't learn it at all.

"Is there anything difficult about that?" Jinmeiyo asked.

"No, not at all," Maki replied.

You'll get good at it if you practice. Learning Ninjutsu itself is the accumulation of experience.

Contrary to Miki's situation, cheating with Sharingan should be like this.

Brain: Ah, I don't think I know how to do it yet.

Hand: No, you do.

Maki doesn't think Jinmeiyo can teach her anything.

"Really, let me repay you," Jinmeiyo said.

"No need," Maki said coldly.

"How about I treat you to something to eat."

Maki stopped.

"Are you rich?"

"It's a little bit," Jinmeiyo said.

"Walk with me."

You can practice at any time.

Carpe diem is Maki's motto in life.

Moreover, Miki never asked Yumi for money. Yumi would give Miki pocket money and New Year's money, but it was also the amount that a normal child would use.

Maki's usage is not normal at all, so she is very embarrassed every day.

Maki turned around and left.

The Jinmeiyo followed with a smile.

The insect girl who was herding sheep in the forest was sent by Maki to wait at the family station.

The three old men were waiting for the person who couldn't see Maki , and soon they started to get angry.

Mainly because old man Hiyou, who has a bad temper, is losing his temper.

On the other side, Maki and Jinmeiyo sat in rows on the bank of the river, leisurely watching the sunset gradually set in the west.

One person was holding a handful of grilled river fish and a bowl of red bean soup.

Far away there was a white-haired boy fishing in the river.

It's Jiraiya.

"This is life. Ninja school and all that. It's so tiring."

Eating grilled river fish, Maki nodded when she heard this.

"Aren't you going to take off your mask? Maki," she said strangely.

"Don't even think about it." Just lifting up the mask to reveal her mouth, Maki looked at Jinmeiyo's lovely cheeks stained red under the setting sun and said, "Appearance is irrelevant."

"What a pity." Jinmeiyo said, "Don't you think it's strange that you don't know what friends are like when they are rare to make?"

Maki raised her sleeves to wipe her mouth and said, "I don't want to make a troublesome friend like you."

"Am I trouble?" Jinmeiyo asked curiously.

"Yes, it's super troublesome, mainly because your surname is Uchiha." Maki said meaningfully.

"Everyone in the village doesn't like Uchiha." Jinmeiyo said a little disappointed: "But I like everyone so much."

"You will understand in the future." Maki said: "Some people are not worth liking."

"Maki is definitely worthy liking." Jinmeiyo said, "You have the same eyes as me."

"I don't have a Sharingan."

"No, it's not that kind of eyes."

"I like everyone's eyes."

"Your eyesight is very good?" Maki said, "Can you also see this kind of thing?"

"It can be seen that you don't hate them, whether they are Beiliu or Jiraiya." Jinmeiyo said, "Everyone in the class hates them."

"I think there's something wrong with your eyes."

Beilihu is really miserable. Because he is too cute, he is disliked by boys for being sissy and disliked by girls for being cuter than them.

Jiraiya was simply doing it himself.

The reason for being an orphan is because he is lonely and craves attention, so he does mindless and annoying things.

Things like pulling girls' hair.

But Jiraiya was not stupid. Being beaten by Tsunade was both painful and happy, while being beaten by Miki was painful but not happy.

Although Jiraiya has never tried to tease Miki, he has always avoided Miki from afar.

In the distance, Jiraiya saw two girls by the river. He hesitated for a while, turned around and ran ashore without caring about fishing.

This kid.

It was obvious that Maki had never beaten him, so why was he afraid?

Eating the grilled fish, the corners of Maki's lips curled up.

But do you like everyone?

Maki simply likes the memories of her childhood.

So, I will watch silently.

Sitting on the embankment by the river, Maki dangled her short legs.

The two chatted casually.

"That's it for today."

After finishing the last piece of grilled fish in a few mouthfuls, Maki twirled her fingers and put on the mask.

"Let's play together next time." Jinmeiyo made an appointment for the next time.

"It depends on the situation." Maki said.

"Then we've made an appointment." Jinmeiyo said with a gentle smile.

This girl doesn't listen to anyone.

She looks gentle and gentle, but is quite strong at heart.

Maki glanced at the Jinmeiyo, did not refuse or answer, waved goodbye, and left.

The Jinmeiyo smiled and waved in response.

The old men should be excitedly waiting.

On the way, Maki thought of this kind of thing and was not in a hurry.

She glanced at the uncle Ninja who was holding an injured big dog on the side of the road with an anxious look on his face.

"Taro! Why are you injured!? Who did it!? Damn it!"

Ah, he's from the Inuzuka family.

This dog looks familiar.

"Woo~" the big dog whimpered pitifully.

Maki walked past indifferently.

I do not know anything.

When Maki passed by, the big dog clamped its tail nervously.

The sobs became even lower and pitiful.

"Taro! What's wrong with you! Taro!"

Mei has her own scent, so she must have smelled it.

Walking behind Uncle Ninja, Maki turned around, looked at the nervous big dog, and made a threatening gesture of wiping his neck.

The big dog was silent, lying down and lowering his head, not daring to look at Maki .

Seeing this, Maki nodded with satisfaction, turned and left.

What a pleasant and peaceful day.
