"Takeshi, don't be so rude! Hello, my name is Rin." Rin immediately reprimanded Takeshi, and then apologized to the white two tailed cat.
For the first time, Nekomata felt that the contract might not be so bad. At least the girl was sensible and spoke for him and it seemed that he would not be treated too badly... No, this damn Takeshi is really intolerable, as Nekomata was already getting used to being subservient and thinking of this.
He turned around and saw the Takeshi tilting his head and licking his paws, while staring without blinking, his expression quite intimidating, as he spoke. "Meow~ He's in a hurry to go home. Rin, there is no need to keep him here."
"No, no, no, I'm actually not in a hurry." Nekomata quickly explained that he was not in a hurry, for fear that the little girl would really think that he was in a hurry to go home and send him back, and then he would miss such a good opportunity to interact with his new master and buttering her up, 'hopefully she will defend me further from Takeshi...'
"Hahaha, then stay for lunch, just in time for you to have a taste of our food." Nohara Aizawa expressed happily, he was so excited that he was even willing to add feed him more amount than compared to Takeshi, but he didn't dare to say it, looking at how terrified this white cat seemed of Takeshi by constantly glancing at him every couple seconds.
But Takeshi knowing the financial situation of Nohara household knew where the extra meal would be coming from and started sneakily glaring at Nekomata.
"No, no, it's alright, I really have to go, so I won't be eating, I am in abit of rush..." After seeing the attitude of Takeshi, he felt goosebumps with his instincts screaming at him with every word.
So he changed his plan, while he originally planned to put on staying over and trying to establish some of his dignity, in front of Rin and the Nohara family, but he dare not try anything now.
"Don't be nervous, it's okay. It's just that after hearing from Takeshi that I can summon another cat, I became curious and excited and summoned you here. Since you are in a hurry, you'd better go back, so as not to delay your further." Rin responded in understanding manner while apologizing.
Nekomata's accepted the apology while trembling, he kept sneaking glances at Takeshi whose glaring intensity reduced the closer he got to the door... He politely bid farewell to Nohara family, and heaved a sigh of relief after leaving.
Of course, Takeshi didn't have any malicious thoughts towards Nekomata. The reason why he was glaring intensely at Nekomata was just to scare the silly cat abit so that he could gain some points.
In just a few minutes, the white cat contributed nearly 300 points to him. 'It's not much, but this was easier to earn without taking any risk, which is better than risking my life to mess with ruthless people like Orochimaru.' Takeshi thought.
A cat's lifespan is short, but since his body is enriched by natural energy, his lifespan will definitely be much longer than that of ordinary cats. That old toad has been able to live from the Six Paths era to now.
'It wouldn't be too difficult to live atleast half his lifespan since I have the system in hand. Life is precious, why risk death when I can gain points without risk?'
Rin after bidding farewell to the white cat, soon remembered the identity of the white cat - As had a chance encounter with that cat at Neko Granny Cat Castle before, she had gone there for D rank mission.
At that time she had spent an hour or so with Neko Granny before returning, so she talked about various topics, when asking about the cats in the Cat castle she remembers Neko Granny mentioning about two-tailed white cat that is leader of the castle, the most powerful among the ninja cats, and usually lives in the Castle without leaving the castle. 'It's this cat!'
After thinking about her current situation as being from Civilian family and getting involved with Uchiha clan matters like this, she started getting abit worried. But she didn't bring this up with her parents to not make them worry. Hence she stayed silent for the time being.
While food was being cooked, she came out of the house with Takeshi for a walk, after chatting for sometime she whispered: "Takeshi, is that cat from the Uchiha Clan..."
"Meow~ No, their relationship with the Uchiha is verbal cooperation. It's not a summon contract relationship, so he doesn't belong to the Uchiha Clan." Takeshi immediately explained.
He knew Rin's character. If he didn't explain it clearly, she might still feel that she had stolen an Uchiha's cat, and would quietly talk to Obito or even go to the Uchiha clan directly to apologize.
"But why is he willing to sign a summoning contract with us?" Rin couldn't understand it. Since, even Uchiha didn't conclude a summoning contract with this cat, but he was actually willing to sign a summoning contract with herself ?
"I can do things that other's cannot, I am a miracle cat, y'know, meow~..." Takeshi jumped to the top of the wall. Of course, the important factor was making the white cat surrender. Without system's special and unique cat foods, that proud white cat would never have been able to surrender so willingly.
Cats are wild and independent beings, they are not easy to discipline. To make that guy willing to follow Rin, his benefits needs to be considerable.
After talking abit further, Rin finally felt at ease. This is a good side of Rin's personality, but occasionally it can give this black cat a headache.
Fortunately, the meal must've been prepared by now, otherwise she would keep questioning Takeshi. After eating at noon, Rin stayed at home and continued to accompany Aizawa. Takeshi is not currently interested in hanging out with them.
After eating, he took a quick nap, then slipped out of the house. If he doesn't go out, how can he earn points? Konoha is still quite stable now, but Takeshi think's it won't be stable for long.
As he has been counting the days, the Kazekage in Sunagakure Village, who is known as the strongest Kazekage, is probably going to die, or might be already dead by now.
This will impact the whole shinobi world, and the Third Shinobi World War will begin. There's not much time left for him to collect points! Takeshi walked around Konoha, trying to find a source where he could safely earn points from, but after looking around, he saw Guy running around the village but Takeshi didn't want to bother him, and couldn't find Asuma.
Kurenai is at home, but can he sneak into her house? She's from shinobi house right ? Yeah, not worth the risk. Further, if he bullied her he might get beaten by her father.
Fortunately, He saw another couple walking nearby. One of them being Gekko Hayate, and Yugao Uzuki. They were not lovers at the moment, but they were childhood sweethearts. It was obvious at first glance that they had a very good relationship, and... coincidentally, they were going to train together in the forest outside Konoha. So Takeshi decided to follow them sneakily.
Both of these children have not graduated from Academy yet. Although their talents are good, their strength and skills are not yet adequate, so he decided to follow behind to "protect" them quietly.
Ofcourse it's just for "protecting" them, though if it helped Takeshi vent abit of his repressed anger, then even better, as last time he met Hayate, Anko cried after being reported in class for creating nuisance.
Though Takeshi also conveniently forget that, himself being the initiator of nuisance in first place.
He followed them to the outskirts of the forest, after stretching, they pulled out the wooden swords from behind their backs and began to practice. Takeshi kept observing them.
After sneaking towards a nearby bush, he directly doubled his size and then used the transformation jutsu to transform into a tiger. He suddenly jumped out of the bush. With a roar, he rushed directly towards Yugao.
"Yugao!?" Hayate's panicked, as he rushed to intercept the tiger, as he swung his wooden sword to protect her.
Yugao is slightly younger than him, and she could barely hold a sword properly, so she has no strength to defend herself.
Whack...
Hayate's wooden sword was knocked away. "Run!"
'This tiger is too powerful, I am no match for it!'
"No, I..." Yugao refused as she stood still in terror. While she didn't want to leave Hayate, and she also understood that staying would be being a burden to Hayate.
After thinking about it, she gritted her teeth and threw her wooden sword at the tiger and then tried to retreat.
While she threw the wooden sword quite accurately, it was not powerful or fast attack, and so it wasn't any threat to Takeshi. He slapped it away easily.
Hayate rushed in front of Yugao with a kunai, but the next second he saw the tiger jump above him and pounching towards to Yugao with ferocity...
"No!" He shouted desperately, but then saw the tiger jump to the side and after jumping around them abit more, further terrifying them, the tiger actually returned back into the forest and disappeared without a trace.
Before leaving, there was a faint cat's meow was heard. 'That sounded like a cat's meow...what the hell?' Hayate and Yugao were both confused and bewildered by what was going on.
On the other side, after Takeshi returned to the woods and removed his transformation. When he opened the system panel, he was quite surprised - his points had increased by more than a thousand! what's going on? Is Hayate secretly hiding his strength?
No, that guy is still academy student. Someone strong must have seen this scene secretly and became anxious, but why didn't they interfere if his behavior caused such strong emotional impact. Oh wait...
There is only one person in Konoha who can secretly peek but couldn't rush to rescue these kids immediately - the Third Hokage, Sarutobi "The Professor" Hiruzen, The master of voyeurism.
