On the weekends, she studied medical knowledge, sealing techniques, and enchantment in Mito, and on the weekdays, she went to school. Every day in Miji's life was ordinary and ordinary.

There are a lot of things to learn in school, mainly focusing on the basics of ninja, focusing on polishing the body and learning ninjutsu. As you get older, your attributes in all aspects will naturally increase to a certain extent.

Juri, Hitomi and Miki spend the whole day together, and they are inseparable wherever they go. Gradually, Miki gets used to this kind of cowardice.

Just think of it as two pendants, it’s good to use them on daily basis.

In the first winter since I started school, the snow fell as expected, and everything was white, pure and dazzling.

The winter festival in the village is very lively, and the stalls set up by traveling merchants on the streets are dazzling and make people linger.

Zhili had been saving money for nearly a year and finally had something to spend it on.

"Does it look good?"

The little girl wearing a plain flower-patterned yukata stood in front of Meiji's eyes. The kitten mask on her head looked cute and cute.

Zhili asked.

"Yeah." Meiji responded.

"What about me?" Hitomi, who was also wearing a cute yukata, asked, her shy red face seemed to be frozen, she was holding an apple candy in her hand, and her pure white eyes were as beautiful as snow.

"Kawaii." Meiji flattered without emotion.

"What, who is cuter?" Zhili said dissatisfied.

Hitomi also looked at Mei Ji expectantly. At least in appearance, she still had confidence.

Can win!

Mei Ji glanced at the two of them and said coldly: "I'm cuter."

"What, is there such an answer!?" Zhili was a little dissatisfied and said, "We have known each other for so long, but we have never even seen your face!"

"I'm definitely cuter than you." Mei Ji said: "As long as I don't take off my mask, everyone will imagine how cute I am, and then imagine what they think is the cutest look."

is that so?

"It's so cunning!" How about I wear a mask too?

Zhili thought of this kind of thing.

After Hitomi nodded in agreement, she looked at the cute bird masks sold at the stall.

"Hmph, boring." As she said that, Mei Ji stepped forward.

This winter ended happily and peacefully amidst the gorgeous fireworks.

The three of them watched the fireworks bloom together.

Until it ends in the dark sky.

It would be great if life could continue like this.

Facing the sky, everyone made different wishes.

"What wish did you make, Meiji?"

"secret."

"Then mine is a secret."

"Where's Hitomi?"

"secret…"

Fifteen years of Konoha are over.

The Second Ninja War took a step forward quietly.

But death will come at any time.

Maggie can smell death.

Not decadent, not desperate.

It was just an average taste.

I thought I would die in this winter, but I survived and died in the spring when everything revives.

The most beautiful season of the year.

The sun was shining brightly that day, suitable for outings and outings, as well as lazily basking in the sun at home.

According to my wishes, I was not buried in the cemetery of Konoha heroes, but chose the ancient insect burial.

Since ancient times, the Aburame clan has chosen to let insects eat their bodies in order to prevent outsiders from obtaining information about the clan.

Life and insects coexist, and death and insects die together.

There were not many people attending the funeral, almost all of them were members of the clan, and no outsiders came to watch.

The taciturn tribesmen didn't say much, and only Yumi's heart-wrenching cries echoed in the venue.

She was lying outside the last swarm of insects, crying so hard that she could faint at any time.

Miji had seen such a scene once, when the ninjas of Konoha brought back her father's body.

A bag of parasitic insect shells, a broken kunai, and a wooden leaf forehead protector.

It’s all that’s left of that person’s life.

That man died in this way.

This is the fate of ninjas.

This is also the fate of Aburame.

"Chongji, say something." Old man Shiho looked at Miki with sadness in his words.

The tribesmen turned their heads silently and stared at Mei Ji.

Although he is a very short figure, he stands extremely tall and straight.

This is the future pillar of our family.

Every Aburame knows this kind of thing, with anticipation in her eyes.

"have nothing to say."

Mei Ji said.

"Secret, secret, secret!"

"Like an insect, whether in the sun or in the dark, surviving in secret is the meaning of my clan's existence."

"Living is better than anything else."

"And I will lead you to survive."

"No matter whether we face strong winds or heavy rains, my clan will always stand on the earth, like insects!"

The swarm of insects gnawed away at the last corpse. The insects stayed in place and disappeared one by one.

They exterminated themselves.

Their master is gone, and they have no meaning in survival.

All that was left was an empty shell.

"Disperse!"

Maggie presided over the last rites of the funeral.

The moment the words were spoken, the Aburame girls neatly walked away without any hesitation at Meiji's order.

Mei Ji, who was left behind, stepped forward and gently helped her mother, who was about to faint.

"You still have me, don't be too sad."

The moment she heard this, Yumi hugged Miki tightly and cried repressedly.

Tears wet Meiji's chest.

"Old man Zhiyou doesn't want to see you like this."

Miki patted Yumi's back gently.

After the funeral, Meiji's life was as ordinary as ever. Studying, studying, studying, Meiji greedily absorbed all kinds of knowledge from Mito.

Mito didn't mind the secret transmission contents of the Senju family and taught them all to the three of them.

The days have not changed much, and the three of them are as tired of being together as ever.

Two years later, old man Zhibao died, and three years later, old man Zhihui also died.

The funeral was hosted by Maggie.

One died in the hot summer, and the other died in the snowy winter.

The mood is the same as that day.

Can't cry.

Just very sad.

In six years, Miki has graduated from the ninja school and officially became a Konoha genin.

After doing D-level missions for a period of time, the three of them entered Konoha Hospital.

Start by doing odd jobs and accumulate experience in healing.

This lasted four years.

After Tsunade learned about this, she joined in noisily.

She was tired of the endless tasks outside the village.

Konoha's twenty-fifth year, summer, the footsteps of the Second Ninja War seemed to be faintly echoing in Miki's ears.

"It's about to start, big curtain."

Looking at the bright rising sun in the sky, leaning on the railing on the third floor of the hospital, Meiji said softly.

"Time flies so fast..."

Looking at the beauty's slender figure leaning against the railing, the beautiful girl with wavy black hair said with a smile: "Yeah, things go by so fast."

"Where's Hitomi?" Meiji asked.

"I was too tired and fell asleep." Zhili leaned on the wall and asked, "What's about to start?"

"No, it's nothing." Meiji shook her head.

Look down at the blond girl with ponytail who is doing morning gymnastics in the playground.

"Brain gate!" Meiji shouted.

"Do you want to die? You **** insect girl!" Tsunade downstairs turned around and roared.

"Tsk..." Meiji tutted.

World War II was still very early, and the sixteen-year-old Tsunade was still a tablet.

When will I grow up...

"When will you grow up? Don't make Tsunade angry! She is so scary now!" Jiri said angrily, looking at the diamond-shaped mark of the Yin seal on Tsunade's forehead.

Although she does too.

"I'm used to it." Mei Ji waved her hand carelessly.

"Summer is back again."

Meiji smiled.

"Come up! Brain!"

"Come down! Insect girl! See if I don't beat you to death!" Tsunade roared.

Zhili burst out laughing.
