"Where's Insect Sister?"
After the meal, Chiri asked Mimi.
"She went to chase dogs," Mimi said indifferently.
That girl was studying, and her method of studying was playing.
There were many vicious beasts near Konoha, but the most ferocious of them all were always the Inuzuka Clan's dogs.
Each one was tall and powerful, wolf-like. When they marched in packs, even shinobi found them intimidating.
Hundreds of Fang Passing Fangs flew wildly across the field, and even Mimi got a headache watching them.
Because she had experienced it herself, she knew how formidable they were.
The Inuzuka Clan had never been famous for the strength of individual shinobi. They had always been known for their unity, and for having more people and more dogs.
They were fine inside the village. The dogs didn't dare cause trouble and were exceptionally docile.
But in the woods, they were as wild as wild could be, completely letting themselves go.
And Insect Sister had always been releasing her natural instincts. When it came to being wild, she was far more formidable than that pack of dogs.
Their grudge had begun the first time Insect Sister snatched food from the dogs' mouths.
At the time, the pack thought Insect Sister was a child from Konoha and hadn't used much strength.
As the confrontation gradually escalated, Mimi felt it would have been better if they had used no strength at all.
Insect Sister could fly.
The dogs were dumbfounded.
Yep, she was just playing.
She enjoyed it endlessly. If the pack didn't come looking for a rematch for a few days, Insect Sister would go to them herself.
She would fight and run, never waiting for the pack to gather. It was incredibly exciting.
The woods were only so large, and both sides had excellent senses
