Meiji took Chongmei and Zhili to walk through the woods.
He said he wanted to go play with Zhili, but he didn't know where he was going.
Several places suggested by Zhili were all rejected by Meiji.
Snack bars, shopping streets, parks, and Hokage Rocks.
It is a popular place for children in the village.
Needless to say, there is no need to say much about the snack bar. I want to buy some things like clothes and toys in the shopping street.
Even Zhili likes beautiful clothes and shiny trinkets.
It’s obvious what the reason behind dragging Mei Ji along is.
In the park, the only things that can be played are the swings, parallel bars, seesaws and piles of sand. During the day, they are occupied by boys nearby, usually playing ninja games, and they don't stop until meal time.
As for the Hokage Rock, it is the most popular. Many children go there to experience the feeling of Hokage, and the view overlooking the whole village is also magnificent.
It's just that the journey is too troublesome, so few people go there.
Basically, if you go there once, you won't go there again.
But when it comes to the scenery of Konoha, Miki thinks the most beautiful time is winter.
The world is wrapped in silver, white and pure.
At this time, it would be perfect to go to the hot spring street.
Taking a dip in the pool is the most relaxing time of the day.
"Okay, here you go." After saying that, Meiji handed the thing to Zhili.
Jiri, who had been watching Mei Ji's movements with his blood chakra eyes open, was a little surprised.
Originally she was going to make it up herself.
Weaving grasshoppers from straw, a little trick.
Meiji handed the other braided one to Chongmei. Chongmei took it and put it into her mouth naturally.
Mei Ji stared at the moving grasshopper legs outside the insect mask for a while.
Zhili happily waved the grasshopper a few times and asked: "Where are we going? Hunting the beasts in the forest?"
"There should be no wild beasts nearby." Mei Ji said, walking in front and leading the way.
"Hey, why, aren't there a lot in the forest?" Zhili asked.
"Beasts have territories, and they mark them by scent. There is no second beast within a certain range," Mei Ji said.
The most ferocious beast around here is chewing grasshoppers.
With Mei Ji's laboratory as her nest, Bug Girl moves within this area, which is the sheep herding area that Mei Ji has designated for her.
"That's right, then what are we going to do?" Isn't there a second one within a certain range? Zhili felt something was wrong.
"Ninja game." Mei Ji said.
"Eh? I thought you weren't interested in this."
"That depends on what kind of game it is." Mei Ji said.
"What's it like?" Zhili asked curiously.
"Play with bugs." Mei Ji said.
"Is this really a ninja game?" Zhili didn't understand what fun there was about bugs.
Some boys especially like those mighty big beetles.
But the strange thing is that large and dense swarms of small bugs can be scary.
With doubts, Zhili followed Miki into a dark cave.
The swarms of flying insects magically gave way to a path along the way, and I felt like they were walking around underground for a long time.
There are many forks on the road. If you have a weak sense of direction, you will already lose your way.
Zhili's eyes are getting brighter and brighter.
Miki still knows how to play, and now it feels like a secret ninja base.
The boys who played ninja games also had secret bases, but their bases were basically shabby shacks built on empty land.
It was filled with all kinds of junk picked up everywhere.
It's interesting though.
"Wow..." Zhili exclaimed and said, "These were all dug out by insects?"
"Um."
"awesome!"
"Don't tell others." Mei Ji said
"This is our secret!" Zhili replied with a smile.
He reached out and gently caught a flying fluorescent bug.
"Don't touch them." Mei Ji said.
Zhili let go of his hand.
"It's poisonous." Mei Ji said: "No matter what you see, it's best not to touch it. The more beautiful it is, the more dangerous it is."
"Will someone die?" Zhili asked.
"No, it will be very uncomfortable." Mei Ji said.
"Hey, are these fireflies?" A large group of fireflies were flying around. Zhili took a closer look and saw that they were unfamiliar insects.
"No, fireflies are not the only ones that can shine."
"Mei Ji, is this your bug too? What's its use?"
"It's basically useless. It looks pretty." Mei Ji said, "It's actually very ugly in the sun."
"It's so pretty?" Zhili asked: "If it's of no use, why do you still keep it?"
"For decoration." Mei Ji said.
"Hehe, it's really pretty." The dark cave was surrounded by these flying insects. When you were in it, you felt like you were being embraced by the blue sea of stars.
Romantic and dreamy.
As they spoke, the two of them arrived at the end of the passage, and a somewhat crowded room appeared in front of Zhili.
"Welcome to my insect house." For some reason, Meiji wanted to say this, and then she said it.
"Wow..." Zhili walked into the room and kept observing.
"What is this?" Zhili asked, pointing to a glass bottle.
A small animal curled up in the dark green liquid.
"Cat." Mei Ji replied.
"Cat?" Zhili asked doubtfully, "Does a cat have three tails?"
"Is it the monster Nekomata?"
"Without chakra, it's just an ordinary cat." Mei Ji said: "I tried to mutate it a little bit, but it died."
"Dead?" Zhili said, "How pitiful."
"As a ninja, you can't be good at seeing life and death, Jiri." Meiji said.
"I know...but..." Zhili's mood was a little low.
"I never saw you like this when I was eating bugs." Mei Ji said.
"But that's different! Kitten..."
"What's the difference?" Mei Ji said, "Kittens are so cute, right?"
"Eh?" Zhili looked at Meiji, thinking that you also know this kind of thing.
"Because they are insects, they can die casually, right?"
Zhili felt something was wrong.
"But, there is no distinction between high and low in the nature of life. They are all life, and they are all for living."
"So, there is no difference between the death of a cat and the death of an insect." Mei Ji said, "The same is true for people."
is that so?
Zhili felt something was wrong.
"But!" Zhili wanted to retort, but couldn't think of an answer.
Zhili couldn't bear to look at the kitten in the bottle.
The psychic beasts of the Uchiha family are basically ninja cats, so they have a natural affinity with them.
"A cat is a very ferocious hunter. It is at the top of the food chain and is a killer of birds. It can prey on countless animals in its lifetime, not to mention its hunting habits. It will kill living creatures arbitrarily even if it does not eat itself."
"If you have time to pity this cat, why not pity the cute little animal that was bitten to death by it? By the way, would you like to take pity on me?"
Meiji said.
"I don't think it's cute anyway."
Zhili blinked his eyes. Are cats that cruel?
"In nature, the most important thing is balance, and then maintaining balance."
"Death is a part of balance, don't feel bad about it."
Mei Ji said: "Let's take a look at this."
Zhili heard this and walked over.
I saw something in the bottle.
"This, could it be!?"
Zhili gradually widened his eyes.
"That's right, Immortal Slug." Mei Ji said.
The little slug fairy in the bottle looked at Mei Ji and said softly: "Little girl, what are you trying to do by catching me?"
"Zhili, have you ever eaten braised slugs?"
For a moment, the slug in the bottle stood up, and immediately had the urge to go back to Shigu Forest.
But, there is no chakra anymore.
That is to say...
"You kidnapped Slug Immortal!?"
Zhili shouted, instantly realizing the seriousness of the problem!
"That's right!" Mei Ji was a little proud.
During the exam with Tsunade, I took advantage of the chaos and obtained part of the slug's body tissue.
Picked up the bottle and shook it vigorously.
Although it is not painful or itchy for slugs, it is dizzy!
"Stop! Stop it! Little girl!" the slug screamed.
I didn’t know for a moment whether I was talking about braised or shaken.
Exotic animals, get.
However, the infection progress is extremely slow.
"I'll give you one later."
"I don't want it!" Zhili screamed: "It's slimy and disgusting!"
"Hey, aren't slugs cute?"
"Not at all!" Zhili affirmed.
"That's because you haven't seen sea slugs before." Mei Ji said disdainfully: "Remember what you said today, don't beg me when the time comes."
