Chapter 24

Jinmeiyo didn't know what Maki was thinking. Maki, on the other hand, was contemplating how she fell into the illusion.

There was no warning at all, and Maki had never encountered any Sharingan before. This was quite perplexing. Genjutsu typically involves using chakra to interfere with the target's chakra, requiring various conditions such as action, environment, sound, eyes, smell, or catalyst.

Maki was sure that she had not noticed any abnormality, and the surroundings were too quiet along the way. However, this could be normal in remote places. She couldn't comprehend how this illusion was cast, especially considering her lack of experience with such techniques.

This was no ordinary genjutsu. Maki knew that the person responsible for it had developed the ultimate genjutsu, Izanami. The mastery of such a technique left her baffled.

This meant that Maki was currently completely defenseless against this person's illusion. Moreover, the caster had dispelled it too quickly, not giving Maki a chance to analyze the illusion.

"Why haven't you gone home yet?" Jinmeiyo broke the silence first.

"I just finished practicing," Maki replied.

"It's really hard work. Does a genius also work so hard?"

"It's you; aren't you going home at this time?" Maki asked back.

Jinmeiyo was silent for a while and then said with a smile, "Who is this child?"

She looked at Mei.

"It's my sister."

"Why don't you introduce me?"

"She's a fool," Maki said, "Woof."

Mei followed Maki's order and barked happily.

"Ah..." Jinmeiyo covered her mouth, a little surprised, and then said angrily, "Don't bully her like this!"

"I've never seen you have such a sense of justice in school," Maki sneered.

"Whether it's Maki or Princess Tsunade, they didn't take any action; why should I meddle in other people's business?" Jinmeiyo became a little angry, her fleshy cheeks bulging slightly.

"So you mind my business?" Maki said, "This is not Uchiha clan."

"Aren't we friends? Your sister is my sister," Jinmeiyo said.

"Are you serious?"

"Yeah!" Jinmeiyo nodded heavily.

Maki fell silent. To be honest, she was a little scared. The main reason was that she was afraid that one day Jinmeiyo would sacrifice herself just to awaken the Mangekyou. It's not impossible because this guy was bound to open his eyes. In short, it was very risky to be friends with her.

"Why the silence?" Jinmeiyo asked.

"I'm wondering what attracts you and makes you like a moth to the flame," Maki said.

Maki had a very good idea of how scary she appeared in the eyes of children, especially in the eyes of girls.

Jinmeiyo was stunned for a moment. "It's the strength of facing loneliness," She said inexplicably. "It seems like you are alone all the time, so why aren't you scared?"

"A little envious," Maki admitted. "I'm still a kid, thinking about useless things."

Maki took a deep look at Jinmeiyo and said, "It seems you are very free."

With that said, Maki turned and left. Mother Yumei may have been a little impatient in waiting.

Jinmeiyo looked at Maki disappointedly. It was the first time She wanted to make a friend but failed. She seemed to be a little optimistic in estimating Maki's indifference.

Standing under the moon, Jinmeiyo lowered her head in despair.

"But…"

Maki's voice sounded cold. Jinmeiyo raised her head sharply.

"Occasionally, I can play with you when I have free time, like ninja games."

In the distance, the figure of Maki pulling Mei away gradually faded away. A bright smile gradually filled Jinmeiyo's face.

"As expected, very gentle," She murmured in an inaudible voice.

The next day was a normal workday. On the way, Maki was a little confused. This was a normal phenomenon of staying up late to sleep. There was plenty of time to catch up on sleep during the day in class, as long as she straightened her back and Ogawa couldn't see what Maki was doing under the mask. Anyway, Maki doesn't grind her teeth or talk in her sleep.

In just the next second, Maki woke up. At the corner of the intersection, in the bright sunshine, Jinmeiyo was waiting on the roadside. She raised his hand to cover her forehead. It felt like there was a buzzing sound, even louder than when the insect girl suddenly got into bed in the middle of the night. Sure enough, it would be like that, holding hands and going to the toilet together.

Maki couldn't help it. How much does this girl lack love? I am not an old mother taking care of a little kid! Jinmeiyo had nothing to do. She passed by Jinmeiyo indifferently, but Jinmeiyo followed Maki naturally.

"I Want to treat you to dinner. I have money," Jinmeiyo said with a smile.

"Don't use money to buy friends," Maki said. "Are you rich?"

"Well, I'm very rich. I get three payments every month," Jinmeiyo replied with a smile. "If it's Maki, I can give you all."

This girl... It's a regular pension and the village's living allowance for orphans. Maki felt it was a bit hot in her mouth.

"I won't eat it," Maki refused.

"Ah..." Jinmeiyo was a little disappointed and said, "So, is there anything Maki likes?"

"Thank you, no, little animal," Maki said simply.

Jinmeiyo understood the meaning and said, "Huh? Do you like small animals? I thought you only liked bugs."

"Well, it doesn't look like it," Jinmeiyo said.

Really. I like to eat small animals. Chickens, rabbits, ducks, pigs, fish, and so on.

Maki didn't say anything. So as not to ruin Jinmeiyo's fantasy. We talked and laughed along the way, and when we got to class, because of Maki's relationship, the single person who hit the spot on time became a duo.

Tsunade, on the other hand, after being timid for a while, inexplicably gave Maki a provocative look.

"Just wait, insect girl."

After saying that, she stopped talking to Maki and didn't go too far. Yeah, I'm very confident. So, where does the confidence come from? Maki couldn't help but think. According to common sense, She should be learning a powerful new ninjutsu. 

However, what can she learn? The sealing technique has no offensive power. Tsunade, who has offensive power, does not have that condition. The medical ninjutsu also has little offensive power. The chakra scalpel is very bluffing, but Tsunade already has strange strength. It is better to break the opponent's bones with one fist. Then the answer is necromancy.

During class, Maki was a little surprised that Hyuga Hitomi didn't come. Skipping classes or something like that is not something she can do. Ogawa doesn't have an explanation either. I didn't feel anxious at all when the student disappeared. No one mentioned this matter, so it was naturally ignored by everyone.

Regarding this point, Jinmeiyo is too low-key and uncontroversial. This is very un-Uchiha and yet very Uchiha. It sounds contradictory, but it is true.

During recess, Jinmeiyo naturally came to Maki's side. I don't know where she had so much to say. Mostly boring little things. Similar to little girl topics like my brother dares to eat shit. Maki dealt with it casually.

Tsunade, who is at the same table, has deliberately stayed away from Maki since the break to disgust Maki. Therefore, Jinmeiyo can squeeze in every opportunity. She wasn't afraid of Tsunade. Tsunade's eyes kept drifting over, intentionally or unintentionally.

"Jinmeiyo this girl! Insidious Uchiha!"

Tsunade was a little angry, and she didn't know what she was angry about. Is it Jinmeiyo talking to Maki? Or is Maki talking to Jinmeiyo? It doesn't sound like a big difference, but it's a big difference. In short, it's complicated.

Until the lively calm in the class was suddenly broken. It was the roar of a little boy's desperate defiance.

"Asshole! I'm not a fake!!"

 Maki glanced over.

It broke out.

Maki thought he would endure it for the rest of his life until it became twisted and ugly. So, why not step in and change the fate of others? Let's take a look first.
