A Genius Friend

Zhang Miao was courting death.

At this moment, he covered his ears that had just been twisted by Yugao, feeling the burning pain from it, and revealed a face full of tears.

"Aw... I was just joking. Is there a need to use so much violence? I am still a child!"

Hearing Zhang Miao muttering, Yugao, who was walking in front of him, suddenly smiled and stopped talking. Izumi, who was beside her, looked at Zhang Miao with some worry.

"Ryunosuke, are you alright?"

"Do I look like I'm fine?" Zhang Miao glanced at her unhappily. "Otherwise, come over and let me kiss you. I'll be fine!"

Hearing Zhang Miao's words, the little girl's face immediately flushed red.

"Ryunosuke, you..."

Just as Zhang Miao was about to tease her a few more times, he felt a sharp pain in his other ear. At the same time, Yugao's voice entered his ears.

"I won't let you bully her!"

Zhang Miao, "..."

"Damn, how did they get along so quickly?"

And most importantly, in the original work, Yugao should be a dignified and quiet girl, like a little bird, how did she become an "ear pinching maniac"?

I must have crossed into a false World of Naruto!

Thinking of this, a feeling of being cheated swept through Zhang Miao's heart, and the pain in his ears made him unable to help but scream.

"Oww.. it hurts, it hurts, it hurts... dear princess, please spare me!"

"Hehehehe..."

...

Because it was the weekend, the student had a day off from classes. Izumi originally planned to go shopping, but he happened to meet Zhang Miao and Yugao.

After discovering something in common, the two girls quickly became friends agreed to go shopping together.

However, Zhang Miao did not intend to waste his time on shopping with the two little girls. After walking out of the Uchiha district, he turned to look at the two.

"I am going to find Kakashi. Do you want to go with me?"

"Kakashi?" Hearing this name, Yugao blinked again, "Are you talking about the genius who was promoted to Jonin at the age of twelve?"

Kakashi was a well-known genius ninja in Konoha, so of course, Yugao had heard of his name. However, she did not expect that Zhang Miao actually knew Kakashi and seemed to be very familiar with him, so at this moment, there was a trace of surprise on her face.

"You actually know Kakashi?"

Looking at Yugao's slightly surprised look, Zhang Miao suddenly smiled and nodded.

"That's right, and I'm going to look for him now. Do you want to come with me?"

"Uh...."

Hearing Zhang Miao's words, Yugao and Izumi looked at each other and shook their heads together.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Miao also nodded and then waved at the two of them.

"Alright, then you two go shopping. Bye bye!"

After saying that, Zhang Miao jumped onto the wall next to him and disappeared after a few jumps.

Looking at Zhang Miao who had already disappeared from his sight, Izumi's little face was full of envy.

"Ryunosuke is really amazing, and his friends are all geniuses. For example, Itachi and Kakashi-senpai. It seems that geniuses only befriend other geniuses!"

Speaking of this, Izumi turned to look at Yugao.

"And Yugao-san, you are also a genius in kenjutsu, not like me, who don't know anything!"

Hearing her envious tone with a hint of inferiority, Yugao shook his head with a wry smile.

"Compared to them.."

"I am not a genius!"

Then, Yugao told Izumi everything about the match between Zhang Miao and Itachi.

Following her narration, Izumi opened her mouth in surprise.

"So Itachi did not lie. Ryunosuke-kun is really amazing!"

"Yes!"

Hearing Izumi's words, Yugao nodded in agreement.

"He is indeed very powerful. No matter how hard I try, I'm afraid I can't catch up with him. Perhaps this is the gap between ordinary people and geniuses..."

When the two of them said this, Zhang Miao, who was running in the direction of Kakashi's home, suddenly received a system prompt.

"[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 4-star Special Jonin, Uzuki Yugao Ninja Fragments x5!]"

"[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 5-star Jonin, Uchiha Izumi Ninja Fragments x5!]"

Hearing these two notifications, Zhang Miao was stunned at first, then grinned.

"Hehe, it seems that these two little girls were shocked by my performance earlier, so they obediently handed over their Ninja Fragments. Uh... I didn't expect that Izumi was actually a 5-star. It seems that the power of the Bloodline Limit is indeed not to be underestimated."

Zhang Miao remembered that when Izumi was killed by Obito in the original work, she already had the 3-tomoe Sharingan. Although it was likely that she only awakened it on the night of the incident, this also proved that her potential was really great.

Moreover, Zhang Miao guessed that the Uchiha's score on Bloodline Limit should be very high. They should score two stars at minimum.

Thinking of this, Zhang Miao suddenly shook his head with some emotion.

"The World of Naruto is indeed a world where your roots are everything. Fortunately, I have the recruitment system, otherwise it would be for me difficult to survive..."

Although he was thinking about this, Zhang Miao did not slow down. Soon, he arrived at the door of Kakashi's home and shouted inside.

"Hey, Kakashi, are you at home?"

Zhang Miao shouted twice, but there was no response. Just as he was about to shout for the third time, he suddenly found a piece of paper under a stone around the door.

"What is this?"

Zhang Miao frowned, then picked it up. The curved, earthworm-like handwriting on the paper immediately entered his eyes.

This was a common language in the world of ninjas. Many people needed to study for a long time to master it, but because Zhang Miao had the help of the system, he recognized the content at a glance.

"I have something to do and will not come back for the time being - Kakashi."

Seeing this line of words, Zhang Miao understood that Kakashi must have gone on a mission, so he shrugged his shoulders and sighed.

"Alas, it seems that I won't get any fish or ninja fragments from Kakashi today!"

Since Kakashi was not at home, there was no point in staying, so Zhang Miao crumpled the note in his hand into a ball and threw it aside, then turned around and left.

On the way back, Zhang Miao's face was full of helplessness.

"Kakashi is in the Anbu and is out on missions every two or three days. It's causing me some inconvenience in my collecting mission. It's really troublesome!"

Zhang Miao remembered that he knew Kakashi before Guy. Although now he had already recruited him, but Kakashi's ninja fragments were still half way done.

Thinking of this, Zhang Miao shook his head helplessly again.

"Forget it, there's no point in rushing it. I can only take it slowly. Speaking of which, I've already collected four hundred fragments of Guy's fragments. Can I recruit another Guy?"

Zhang Miao, the system prompt once again sounded in his mind.

"[Dear host, you can only recruit a ninja once!]"

Hearing this explanation, Zhang Miao was stunned.
