Takeshi was very angry. A normal person would at least look for his cat if he found it missing. Why did this guy only give him couple hundred points? When he thought about it carefully, his heart felt cold.
He still has the Mark of the Flying Thunder God on his body, and it was clearly arranged from the beginning. The points received were probably not given by Minato, but by Kushina who was a little worried after she found out that he was missing.
That's right, she must not be too worried, especially being a Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki... How sad! Takeshi lay down on the small table, and Kabuto used the techniques he had perfected after arriving in Capital City, making him understand what it meant to be a great masseuse in the Fire Capital City.
Of course, after watching it once, he understood that the reason why Kabuto became popular in Capital City was not only due to his skills, but also his cute and well-behaved mannerisms.
Although he was not selling his body, it did not prevent the ladies from coming over to let him chat with him.
"Kabuto, this scroll..."
"You can keep it for now. If I want to read it one day, it won't be too late to ask you for it." Kabuto smiled without any scheming. Nono was stunned for a moment, then nodded silently, put away the scroll and entered the back room. When she left, Kabuto leaned down and asked, "Takeshi-chan, do you recognize that person just now?"
"No, nya~"
'Don't ask, I just don't want to know him, don't want to think about him. This ninja world is too dangerous. If I want to survive, I have to play it safe.'
"You don't know him either..." Kabuto's movements were obviously different, and he obviously didn't believe it in his heart. He knew that the black cat recognized the "woman" - the ninja who frightened the dean. This boy is too smart.
At this moment, he felt that the various classic sentences in the previous life were really the insights of the wisdom. What does it mean that the more you know, the faster you will die? Curiosity killed the cat ? Please not this honest and obedient kitty! This is bad! The little black cat originally wanted to come over and tease Kabuto, but now never wanted to meet him again.
The boy had been wandering around in the circle of noble ladies in Capital City for a while, and his scheming had reached a very high level.
He only got a few dozen points, which were not enough to pay for the efforts he had put in as he had traveled all the way to Capital City - of course, Kabuto's skills were still as good as ever.
He thought about it for a while, and before leaving, he still told Kabuto something useful: "Have you been doing the task of catching cats recently?"
"Ah? No, some noble people often come to our place and say that their cats are lost. We help them look for it, and I look for them when I get time." Kabuto explained. After a few seconds, he realized that why this mysterious ninja would come to him. Was it because he had taken too many cat-catching missions?
"I'll go, meow." Takeshi waved his paw. Little Shota has grown up and has gradually turned into a sinister man, and it is not as easy to score points as before. Although Kabuto has become much more sinister, he is still a good boy with superb skills.
However, Orochimaru has added Kabuto to his watch list, and Kabuto and Nono's peaceful life may not last long. Of course, looking at it from another perspective, Kabuto was tricked in canon and started traveling around the world as a spy since he was a child. Now he is not that miserable, he is just being noticed by Orochimaru.
Besides, the orphanage made a lot of money from this. When he went to the orphanage some time ago, the children's clothes were much better.
Originally, they had to farm every day to support themselves, but now the orphanage hired a Sensei to teach them how to read and write.
It can be seen that at least Nono no longer needs to be coerced by Danzo to return to her root missions for money. With the relationship circle in Capital City, Danzo can only use gentler methods to achieve his goals.
So if Kabuto is kidnapped, Nono can still retaliate strongly... Hehe, the pet industry is expected to prosper. 'It's a pity that I'm just a cat, otherwise I'm afraid I won't have money to use it?'
Kabuto nodded, and then suddenly stopped him and said, "Wait!"
He ran to the back of the cabinet, took out a small box from it, and opened the box in front of Takeshi. Inside are some coins. "What is this?" Takeshi was confused.
"The idea of starting this business was your master's, and it was your idea to come to Capital City. Both the dean and I feel that we should give you some dividends, so please don't refuse the money." Kabuto handed the box over.
"Meow~ Then I won't hesitate." Takeshi rolled his eyes and without refusing, slapped the money with his paw, and the words "Twenty-five thousand Ryo" immediately appeared in the item space.
It's not a lot, but if he just wants eat and drink, this little money is not too little. It's very satisfying.
"Space Ninjutsu?"
"No, it's just a Summon jutsu. If there is nothing else, I'll leave..." Takeshi didn't explain in detail, and prepared to leave after getting the money.
"Okay, be careful along the way." Kabuto knew that this cat looked small but was actually very full of ideas and strong.
As long as he didn't meet the dangerous ninja from before, nothing big would happen. As for the way home... This Ninja Cat is not an ordinary stupid cat. Although his wildness is still there, it would not be difficult for him to find his way home on its own with considerable intelligence.
Takeshi initially planned to look for Minato when he went out, but after going out and looking around, he found that Minato and Kushina were handing out dog food on the street dogs.
Just watching from behind was quite disturbing. 'If I followed them, I'm afraid it will be even more uncomfortable. Let's eat something and then leave.'
"Huh?" Uzumaki Kushina turned her head and looked at the place where Takeshi was just now.
"What's wrong? Are you worried about Takeshi? There's really no need. He's very smart, and I left the Mark of the Flying Thunder God on him. It'll be fine." Minato explained immediately.
"Really? Hey, there are a lot of people over there, let's go take a look."
"Okay." The two held hands gently and walked to the theater troupe not far away. Minato quietly turned back and erected a big sign on the wall. A black cat over there climbed up feebly and waved his paw at him.
Takeshi jumped off the wall sourly and used the money he got from Kabuto to buy some food, which aroused the surprise and onlookers of a bunch of people.
After getting more than a hundred points, he got sick of the growing crowd of onlookers. he ran away without a trace.
There's no point in staying here anymore, he is ready to go home. This encounter with Orochimaru made his slightly relaxed heart tense up again.
He finished eating the food he ordered. After returning home, he might eat the expensive cat food and get some sleep.
After he went out, he prepared to return to Konoha along the same route. However, not long after Takeshi returned to Konoha, he smelled a strange smell. Not long after, a man with a cold face came out of the road on one side.
It was the, one of the dignified Sannin actually imitated noble lady. Takeshi's mental stability was shattering. If he had known better, he would have stayed with Minato and ate some dog food.
It was better than being targeted by this Konoha's mad scientist. What if this guy has some manic thoughts... He just felt like he was sweating all over his body in this cold night, wondering if the ninja world could ever get better for this honest little kitten, and tears almost flowed down his face!
"Hello little guy, we meet again. What a fortunate coincidence."
