Genjustu: A Short Story

Improved Essays
The first thing he was willing to consider was the possibility of Genjustu, it was the first thing that came to mind, obviously. He wasn't convinced, though. Why was easy to understand. He was an Uchiha and it was by no means a simple task to trick one of his kind with something they considered themselves to be unbeaten in. Genjutsu might not be his personal forte but he was no rookie in that regard either. Also, he had the eyes of his brother now, so it showed more than unlikely for him to be tricked like that. He still decided to momentarily stop his flow of chakra, just to make sure. Forming the seal, he concentrated on the energy in his veins, before abruptly halting its way. As expected, nothing seemed to change.
What else? After a bit

    Different Worlds Jews are mice, Nazis are cats, and Poles are pigs.

Spiegelman uses iconic characters rather than unique ones so as to separate the parties involved into groups based on their race, and how each was treated by the other parties.…
