102: The Dream

    “ Hey, what are you doing with all those rats? “ A girl who was about 8 years old shouted as she held her finger.

    The girl had long black hair and white eyes that would honestly scare someone if they were caught off guard. The girl wore a white kimono that had floral patterns all over. She looked like a princess from another world.

    “ Huh what are you talking about? “ Izanami said as she activated the emergency seals she placed. The containers that were filled with various test subjects suddenly began to distort and disappear.

    What Izanami used is a space distortion seal that has a function similar to Kamui, except the fact that one cannot access the stuff that was caught up in the distortions. Think of it as banishing some items forever.

    This is the self-destruct function Izanami created in case she was found again. She knew her father wouldn''t poke in her room, so the only person who could even have a slim chance of catching her is Ashura.

    But with all of the evidence being removed, Izanami was confident in her ability to escape away.

    “ Hey, what did you just do? Where did you send those poor guys? “ Hinamai shouted as she looked around. Although she is a sealing genius, she has still not learned many sealing jutsus that have space properties.

    “ Hmph I have no idea what you are talking about, “ Izanami said as she looked away while whittling.

    “ You ..” Hinami was so angry she was at a loss for words. She never saw someone this shameless.

    “Oh, and before I forget, get the hell out of my room. “ Izanami said as she kicked Hinami out of her room like she was some garbage.

    “No, I’m not moving an inch from this place until you tell me what you were doing with those innocent animals, “ Hinami said stubbornly.

    “Like I said earlier, I have no idea what you are talking about, “ Izanami said as she rolled her eyes in annoyance. She was pondering about activating her emergency escape seals to escape this annoying girl.

    “You...I’m going to tell Uncle Hagoromo about this. “ Hinami had enough of this and was about to go and complain when she suddenly found out that she couldn’t move her feet. She tried to look down but found that she couldn’t see her body at all.

    “You little girls, like, shouldn’t go around poking at other people’s businesses. I was going to let you go since you looked like a brat with too much curiosity, but you just had to make things difficult for me. “ Izanami said in a cold tone.

    The reason why Hinami couldn’t move was because she was now under Izanami’s Jutsu Shadow of Medusa. This jutsu is her own creation after she took inspiration from the shadow imitation technique from the Nara clan.

    While Izanami was lost in her research, Hinami, whom she totally ignored, looked at her with confusion.

    Hinami couldn''t understand this person who changed her mood every so often. Earlier she was like a shameless person, and in the next second she turned into an emotionless killer, and now she had the look of a refined scholar.

    And although Hinami was terrified, her curiosity got the better of her. From that day, she would sneak in from time to time to check on this mysterious cousin of hers.

    At first Izanami was annoyed at this as Hinami would often come to annoy her with her sense of justice, but gradually Izanami got used to her presence.

    Gradually, Hinami managed to become Izanami''s first best friend and become the lock that is restraining her sanity.

    “ Remember Izi, never lose your kindness.”

    Izanami suddenly jolted awake from her sleep. She wiped away the sweat that gathered on her face.

    “ Haaaa it was all a dream, “ she mumbled as she lay on the bed. She would have never thought that the girl who sneaked into her lab would one day be able to restrain her research.

    This is because in pursuit of activating her bloodline, Izanami was on the verge of going on a path of no return.

    Had it not been for Hinami, she would have become a second Orochimaru or something even worse.

    “ Sigh “ Thinking about the past, Izanami sighed again. She wasn’t proud of her past self, but she wouldn’t change her actions even if she went back to the past. For her, gaining strength that surpassed her two brothers was the biggest priority.
