Now they're actually doing it right in front of Mikoto.
This made a very strange thought pop into her mind: Could Araki be putting on a show for Mikoto right now?
In an instant.
She pouted, slightly dissatisfied, her heart filled with jealousy.
"Wow, can I see it? Can I really do it now? Or twice?!"
Uchiha Mikoto's eyes widened as well, but her voice was different from when she was alone with Kushina. It was much gentler now, with a touch of coquettishness, which was somewhat trying to attract Araki's attention.
actually.
Such a thing.
This was also beyond her expectations.
Uchiha Mikoto came here to obtain information about Araki that she would normally never have been able to access.
after all...
Whether it's training or making Explosive Tag, these are relatively private matters for Araki.
This kind of thing is not made public!
It was for this reason that Uchiha Mikoto decided to go here and live with Kushina herself, her biggest goal being to see things she had never seen before and to obtain more information.
She had initially thought it would be a protracted battle.
It will take a lot of time.
Therefore, she has made long-term preparations to live with Kushina, to see for herself what Araki looks like through Kushina's eyes, and to further understand Araki.
but...
She never expected this.
To witness Araki making Explosive Tag on his very first day here was an incredibly rare and completely unexpected experience.
"Yes."
Araki nodded slightly. He had been thinking about how to let Uchiha Mikoto know about the Explosive Tag.
The best way is still through Kushina's mouth.
Little did they expect that Uchiha Mikoto already knew.
The current situation is that, even if we're not afraid of Uchiha Mikoto, as long as we let this girl know enough shocking things, she will naturally give up on the Sora Hyuga case. This is a method of persuasion that gradually increases the difficulty.
"Since Mikoto already knows I can make Explosive Tag, then I suppose the reason you came here is to see me make them with your own Explosive Tag. After all, with my speed and efficiency, anyone who knew would want to see it, which I can understand."
Araki grinned, his smile bright and sunny, making him look like a friendly boy next door, a far cry from his usual low-key and quiet demeanor during class.
You're still too green to be a good actor!
Araki could already enter a state of acting that was completely flawless in an instant.
no way.
They were forced into it!
After Araki arrived in the ninja world, he thought of the actors from before his transmigration, especially some of the young, handsome actors whose acting was so awkward that they were not even as good as some of the veteran child actors.
In his view, the root cause is not talent, nor hard work, but pressure.
Those young heartthrobs have no pressure at all.
No matter how the performance turns out, there will always be a large number of fans who will constantly offer encouragement, saying things like, "Brother is great! Brother worked the hardest! It's not Brother's problem, the script is bad," and so on.
In such a pressure-free environment, it is not easy to improve one's acting skills. It may even breed complacency, thinking that no matter how one acts, the audience will watch and the fans will buy tickets. In fact, as long as there is a name, it is no problem to Photoshop the head over.
To some extent, this distorted environment fosters the distorted status quo, making it difficult for actors to improve their acting skills.
but...
If there's pressure!
For example, Araki.
If he doesn't elevate his acting skills to a level that is completely indistinguishable from reality, he will face life-threatening situations in many matters.
After all, this is a cruel world where pain can occur every day, completely different from the safe world he used to live in.
If Araki were sent back now, he would surely be an excellent actor, capable of easily and instantly immersing himself in rhythms and emotions that are difficult to control.
"Then I'll just perform it for her!"
That's all.
Araki picked up the brush, which was already dipped in ink, poured Chakra into it, and precisely controlled the Chakra as he drew on the blank copy.
The entire process was extremely elegant.
Araki looked like someone who had stepped out of a painting, standing in front of the two girls, silently painting.
Oh, no, it's making Explosive Tag.
One stroke after another.
There was no stagnation.
Completed in one go.
Buzz!
After Araki completed the last stroke on the blank talisman, the spell on the detonating talisman was formed, and the word "Explosion" appeared in the middle position.
The entire process.
Kushina's eyes gleamed with intense excitement.
It's glowing!
Her diamonds sparkled!
This wasn't the most dazzling light Araki had ever shone when making Explosive Tag before!
This finally brought her to the point where the existence she had always admired was gradually revealing its true brilliance.
Not only was Kushina shocked, but Mikoto was also extremely shocked. She stared blankly at Araki, almost mesmerized.
This boy...
Surprisingly...
He's even more handsome than Fugaku!
"Hiss..."
After having this thought, Uchiha Mikoto couldn't help but gasp.
She didn't know why she had such a thought.
Uchiha Fugaku was the pride of the Uchiha Clan. He was not only the strongest among his peers in the entire Ninja Academy, but also the hope for the future of the Uchiha. He was young and handsome, with outstanding strength, unlimited potential, and a privileged family background. Any one of these qualities made him a top-tier figure among the younger generation in the entire Konoha, with no rivals whatsoever.
Even Kushina, who was in the same class as Minato Namikaze, was someone Uchiha Mikoto had met, and she didn't think he would be a match for Fugaku.
But...
At that very moment.
For a fleeting moment, she actually...
I was actually drawn to a little boy who was seriously making Explosive Tag.
This left even her feeling somewhat bewildered.
"Alright."
Araki placed a finished Explosive Tag on the table so that Uchiha Mikoto could observe it up close.
Immediately afterwards.
He didn't stop for a moment.
Pick up the next blank symbol and continue making it.
"This..."
Uchiha Mikoto's eyes widened, and in her dark pupils, Araki's reflection was mirrored, appearing up close to her in the shape of Araki.
"So fast?"
"It'll be out in the blink of an eye!"
"The key is..."
"They just finished and can't even rest before continuing..."
"That's outrageous!"
At this moment Uchiha Mikoto was completely immersed in the shock brought by Araki, and even forgot that she was there to gather information. It was as if she was witnessing a miracle, a miracle that she never dared to imagine before, but which appeared in front of her.
Not only that.
Araki, unfortunately, was just a nobody.
Someone she had never even heard of before.
If it weren't for Sora Hyuga's situation, she felt she wouldn't have gotten involved in this, let alone become acquainted with Araki.
"Alright."
Just as Uchiha Mikoto was pondering, another Explosive Tag was completed. Before the shock in her heart had subsided, she was shocked once again.
It has to be said.
She hadn't even seen clearly how Araki made the second Explosive Tag.
Because her mind was already stunned after seeing the first Explosive Tag, she was in a somewhat distracted state.
Knowing what is happening and what the people in front of you are doing, but not completely knowing, like an outsider who is both an observer and a participant in the event.
"I'm going to cultivate myself."
Araki slammed both Explosive Tag onto the table, seemingly intentionally placing them there for Mikoto to see. Then, he placed the ninja tool bag containing the ink and brushes for making Explosive Tag, which he had been carrying for the past few days, on his waist, turned around, and left.
Even as Araki left, Uchiha Mikoto was still reeling from the shock.
