Chapter 26: Chapter 26
The following day followed the usual routine, encompassing daily cultural classes, basic physical exercises, shuriken skills classes, and detailed explanations of basic taijutsu combat. The three Aburame elders were already familiar with these lessons, considering that the basics were covered in school. As a result, their focus was on teaching Maki aspects that extended beyond the school curriculum.
A noteworthy development was observed in Maki's insect swarm. Selected insect swarms had started forming small societies, retaining basic parasitic insect abilities such as ultra-speed hatching and chakra absorption. Despite Maki not providing chakra, the offspring naturally underwent a larval stage. Each fleshy worm, rich in protein, lacked resistance.
Functioning as the mother queen, Maki's insect expertly cared for the larvae based on genetic behavioral algorithms. Once the larvae matured into adults, they assumed various roles within the society, taking charge of all nest operations. The queen's sole responsibility was laying eggs. This marked the achievement of Maki's initial goal: a swarm capable of parasitizing and reproducing independently without relying solely on chakra.
Maki had successfully begun to break free from the constraints of chakra on the insect swarm. The abundance of natural resources compared to relying on individuals' scarce chakra for insect swarm cultivation was evident.
The next step involved observing whether the insect swarm could sustain a small society without collapsing, posing a challenging test in the face of nature.
After school, Jinmeiyo approached Maki, but Maki's focus remained on her insect swarm thoughts as she sighed inexplicably, glancing at Jinmeiyo.
Jinmeiyo, surprised, inquired, "What's wrong?"
Maki responded, "No, it's nothing. I still have practice, and I can't keep people waiting. Those three old men might get back pain if they stand for a long time."
Jinmeiyo suggested, "That's it; let's go together," with a smile.
After organizing the desk and stowing books in the drawer, Maki and Jinmeiyo left the school together. Along the way, Uchiha Yashiro continued trailing them, seemingly persistent in his pursuit.
At the park, Maki and Jinmeiyo parted ways as they did the night before. Jinmeiyo waved farewell with a smile, and Maki proceeded towards the station.
At the station, only old men Hiyou and Shiho were absent. Old men Zhihui and Mei were present, prompting Old man Zhihui to assert, "No more nonsense; just go ahead, Mushihime," displaying renewed energy after a night and a day's rest.
Maki, without hesitation, accepted the sword brought by Mei. Drawing out the sword, she held it with a curled arm, the blade slightly deformed and hairy due to its strength. Observing this, Old man Zhihui frowned, recognizing Maki's lack of foundation in swordsmanship and the potential danger of accumulating combat experience in this state.
Old man Zhihui urged Maki to learn the basics of swordsmanship, emphasizing its importance. Maki, having read some books on swordsmanship, admitted to not practicing.
Zhihui questioned, "Can you master it without practice?"
Maki replied confidently, "Of course it's impossible. But isn't it the same with physical skills?" She intended to learn through direct practice.
Zhihui explained the importance of continuously swinging the sword, enhancing muscle quality and quantity, strength, explosive power, and endurance. He emphasized allowing the muscles to remember basic movements, enabling instinctive sword swings in actual combat.
In response, Maki started waving the sword in the air. After nearly an hour of continuous practice, Zhihui suggested learning ninjutsu instead, but Maki, gasping for breath, refused. The focus shifted to practicing thrusting a thousand times.
As the day turned dark, Maki continued practicing thrusting in a focused manner. Realizing the impracticality of certain sword moves, she decided to concentrate on thrusting, leveraging her strengths for a more suitable style.
By the time it got dark, Maki had completed her practice. Taking a deep breath, she decided to showcase her unique sword skill, the Dance of Butterfly Phantom. After a deep breath, Maki surprised Old Man Zhihui with a sudden sword thrust. Thousands of cold stars bloomed before his eyes, creating a beautiful and deadly scene. Maki revealed that it was an illusion, highlighting her control over flame-sending insects.
Old man Zhihui praised Maki, acknowledging her as the strongest genius in the history of the Aburame clan.
