Chapter 47 : Uchiha Chiri's Natural Enemy

...

Seeing that Uchiha Chiri ignored him, Watanabe turned his gaze to Higurashi and Hyuga Zero beside him.

The two of them had their eyes open as if they were trapped in an illusion and unable to extricate themselves.

'Have they been hypnotised by an illusion?'

Watanabe had heard that some teachers in charge would give freshmen a test when they first assembled with them in order to consolidate their authority in the team. 

Higurashi and HyugaZero must have been the ones who fell into Chiri's test.

"Teacher..."

"Don't call me teacher." Chiri said sullenly.

"It's only the first day and you're already talking back to me. I'm sure you'll do more in the future. I don't want you on my team anymore."

Watanabe: "…"

'Huh? Is this possible?'

"I will be very respectful to the teacher." Watanabe said submissively, and he was actually a little afraid that the other party would drive him away in anger.

"I'm going to ask you a question. If you can answer it, I'll keep you in the team." Chiri looked at him and said.

"what is the Question---"

As he was speaking, Chiri's pair of clear beautiful eyes were instantly covered with scarlet colour, and six magatama emerged and spun rapidly like windmills.

[Hypnotised by illusion: Willpower +42, Spirit +40, Sleepiness -35...]

Watanabe felt like taking an ice bath in summer, his brain was clear from the inside out, and he felt extremely clear-headed.

"My illusion has no effect on you?"

Watanabe smiled bitterly: "Did the teacher find out?"

"Humph, you can't hide it from me."

Chiri curled her lips, put away her Sharingan, and her beautiful eyes returned to normal. She appeared to be calm on the surface, but in her heart she was extremely concerned about Watanabe's next answer.

After a slight hesitation, Watanabe explained, "I discovered by chance that no illusions worked on me. So I went to the library to check and found that I must have awakened a special bloodline limit."

"Bloodline Limit…"

Chiri suddenly realised.

This explanation is quite reasonable. Although Chiri has never heard of any bloodline limit that is immune to illusions, the ninja world is so vast that all kinds of things are possible. It doesn't make sense that if the Uchiha clan can awaken the Sharingan, others cannot awaken a bloodline that is immune to illusions.

Just like this——

A strange thought suddenly occurred to Chiri, and he looked at Watanabe with a strange expression.

'Isn't this boy my natural enemy?

Chiri had to admit that she, who was proficient in illusions, and Watanabe, who was immune to illusions, were a perfect match, and she was the one who was restrained...

"Teacher."

Watanabe's voice interrupted Chiri thought and asked,

"You are an elite jonin and you are well-informed. Do you know what bloodline limit I have awakened?"

Chiri glanced at him sideways and immediately felt embarrassed.

'How could I know what kind of bloodline You had? But if I can't answer, wouldn't I lose face as the teacher in charge of this team?'

"Well, your ability is just immunity to illusions, it's not worth mentioning."

She pretended to be contemptuous, and muttered to herself, "It just happened to be able to restrain me..."

Watanabe nodded modestly: "Compared to the teacher's Sharingan, it is indeed far inferior."

Chiri felt guilty and she didn't want to talk to him anymore. A red light flashed in her eyes. The next second, Higurashi and Hyuga Zero, who were trapped in the illusion, regained consciousness one after another.

"Seni...senior Chiri!"

Higurashi bowed hastily, even stuttering due to nervousness.

He felt that he was lucky to be able to join Uchiha Chiri's team, and he wanted to kneel down and kowtow to Chiri to show his loyalty.

Hyuga zero was calmer than him. She first glanced at Watanabe, then said with a smile: "As expected of Senior Chiri, the illusion she cast is totally irresistible."

Facing an existence that was not her natural enemy, Chiri was obviously much tougher and said coldly: "The illusion just now was a test for you. Your performance..."

Chiri wanted to say "I'm disappointed" so that she could establish her authority and motivate her team members. But when her eyes swept over Watanabe, she was too embarrassed to say the word "disappointed" and said abruptly:

"Your performance needs to be improved. There must be no useless trash in my team. If you still don't improve after a period of time, you might be kicked out by me."

Upon hearing this, Higurashi's heart sank, and he thought to himself that senior Chiri is indeed the most famous elite jonin in Konoha, and her strictness was simply frightening.

"I will work hard to improve my abilities and will never let Senior Chiri down!" Higurashi was the first to express his opinion.

Chiri nodded with satisfaction. This was how a freshman should be. Unlike Watanabe, he not only talked back to her but also dared to teach her a lesson.

"Although I can't resist Senior Chiri's illusion, I shouldn't be so bad as to be kicked out of the team." Hyuga Zero smiled innocently, showing her well-behaved and docile attitude.

Watanabe silently agreed: "Me too."

Chiri ordered, "You all should introduce yourselves in turn. The more detailed the better, so that I can have a more comprehensive understanding of you. 

You with white hair, you go first."

Higurashi was flattered as he was the first one to be introduced by Uchiha Chiri and immediately introduced himself.

"My name is Higurashi, I'm a commoner, I'm best at stand techniques, and my dream is to become a Hokage..."

The more Higurashi spoke, the weaker his voice became. Watanabe, who was watching from the side, felt embarrassed for him. He thought Higurashi was too nervous.

He really wanted to tell Higurashi that there was no need to do this, Uchiha Chiri was not a difficult boss to get along with, as long as he knew how to communicate with her correctly, she would not really kick people out of the team. Thinking of this, he also introduced himself calmly.

"My name is Watanabe. I'm good at ninjutsu, I hate war, and my dream is world peace."

Watanabe said simply, causing Chiri and Hyuga Zero to look at him.

"Watanabe-kun has great ambitions!"

Hyuga Zero smiled sweetly and said, "This is the first time I've heard someone's dream is this."

Watanabe remained silent, thinking to himself, 'Stop pretending. I'm afraid you just want to hang me up and beat me up with your soft fist.'

"It's my turn."

"My name is Hyuga Zero, and I am a member of the Hyuga clan's branch family. I don't have anything I particularly like, nor do I particularly dislike anything. As for my dream, I hope that one day I can defeat Watanabe-kun fair and square."

Higurashi listened very seriously at first and he thought HyugaZero's smile was so gentle and charming, but he was stunned when he heard the end.

'Defeat Watanabe?

Can this be considered a dream?'

Uchiha Chiri was one of the judges of the graduation exam. She was well aware of the grudge between Hyuga Zero and Watanabe, so she was not surprised by her words.

She didn't care what Hyuga Zero wanted to do to Watanabe, as long as she remained respectful to her and didn't mess with her during the mission.

"According to tradition, when a ninja team gathers for the first time, they usually have dinner together. Is there any place you want to go?"

"Can I have a barbecue? I prefer this."

Hyuga Zero blinked at Watanabe and Higurashi and asked.
