Chereads / Naruto: Paws and Whiskers / Chapter 54 - Chapter 54

Chapter 54 - Chapter 54

"Meow!" Takeshi raised his head proudly, gazing down at the stupid house cats, but then he thought about it and felt bored.

He had become a tolerant cat and was angry with these house cats... But looking at the amount of points received. 

Ten points, he didn't feel like it was anything. He worked hard to earn points, but after getting the points, looking at the cats wanting to leave but too scared to leave, he waved his paw to chase them away.

The movements probably didn't meet the understanding of these cats. The cats were stunned for a long time, and after a while, they all fled in a hurry. 

"What's going on with these cats?" Some people in the Uchiha clan had already gotten up early, and they couldn't help but be extremely curious when they saw the domestic cats running around on the streets. These cats were not friendly by nature. 

In the past, they would inevitably fight when they met new cats, but today they met one without any intention of fighting. Instead, they seemed to be fleeing. 

"Who knew, these cats like to run around, hey..." As the neighbors chatted, they inevitably talked about a lot of Uchiha's clan affairs, such as whose child's Sharingan eyes were opened, whose child's talent was particularly good, and so on.

Takeshi squatted on the wall and listened, quite interested in Uchiha's gossip. 

After listening for a while, he heard several familiar names. Such as Shisui. Uchiha Shisui was still very young, but he had already shown extraordinary talents.

He had already mastered shuriken and swordsmanship at a young age, so he was the one the neighbors talked about the most recently. 

'Uchiha Shisui, also known as Shisui of the Body Flicker.' Takeshi sighed a little. The next second, he saw a little boy walking through the street, carrying a small sword on his back and several kunai on his waist.

Uchiha Shisui? The little black cat stood up and was about to follow him to check when suddenly there were rapid footsteps from behind. He turned his head and saw Obito in normal clothes running quickly from behind. 

"Takeshi, you got up so early. I planned to pick you up at your house." Obito took a breath. As he was speaking, the people near the wall where Takeshi was squatting heard him, and the woman inside immediately put her head out to greet him, with as much enthusiasm as if she were looking at her own nephew. 

After Obito was forced to chat for a few words, Takeshi jumped to the roof, then stopped and looked at the little boy leaving in the distance.

That's right. Uchiha Shisui. 'Starting to work hard at such a young age...' Takeshi felt conflicted emotions when he thought about his potential fate, then came back from above and jumped to Obito's side. 

Minato hasn't come yet. Obito was a little impatient to wait, mainly because he would chat with anyone who passed by the Uchiha house here for a long time.

These people didn't mean any harm, but the time not spent exercising rather chatting was wasted. 

"Why hasn't the Sensei come yet?" He complained. He was about to take Takeshi for a walk, but suddenly there was a gust of wind behind him. 

The next second, Obito heard the Sensei's voice: "I just had something to do and it took me some time. Has the Uchiha Clan Head responded?" 

"Sensei, the clan leader has agreed and gave me an appointment with the Neko Granny. It's a token." Obito said and was about to dig into his pocket. Minato stroked the cat, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face. The cat's hair was much smoother than before, and it felt really comfortable. 

"No need to give it to me, this is your Uchiha's token, let's go." 

"Meow!" Takeshi shook, fled away Minato's hand, and then followed Obito's footsteps. Recently, he felt that the next 4th Hokage was a little bit, how to say it... not quite right in the head.

Why are you so obsessed with playing with me? Can you not pet me without asking?

"Our clan actually has a close relationship with those ninja cats, but the ninja cats..." Obito said halfway, he glanced around hesitantly, made sure that he was out of the Uchiha range, and then whispered while running, "Those cats are wild and difficult to tame, and very difficult to deal with. Few in our family have actually signed a blood contract with them." 

"Meow~ you mean I'm easy to tame?" Takeshi looked at him with a mean look.

He's not slow now, but his endurance is relatively poor... 'But my explosive speed is high, so it's no problem to be much faster than you Obito!' 

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant!" Obito hurriedly explained.

He said such unintentional words as "You are easy to get along with" and "You are very friendly and have a good personality". 

Minato wanted to laugh at first, but then he felt a bit of pity. This character is a bit too soft. But then he thought, if Uchiha had a group of people like Obito, they might be able to break the current deadlock between Uchiha and Konoha... Thinking of this, he paid more attention to Obito.

Minato began to ask Obito if he had any doubts about his training, and gave him various answers. 

Takeshi heard it. Minato led himself to buy ninja tools, which was just one of them. Along the way, he helped Obito with his Fire Release training to show his goodwill to Uchiha and strengthen the relationship between Konoha and Uchiha.

After all, Jiraiya taught Kakashi and Rin before, but Obito didn't learn any jutsu... Of course, he didn't teach the Rasengan, but a Fire Release ninjutsu that Obito didn't know yet, and even resolved Obito's many of the difficulties in Fire Release ninjutsu. 

In fact, Uchiha knew better about Fire Release, but Obito was only a friend of the old women in Uchiha, and there weren't many people who gave him guidance on ninjutsu. Minato's words were a lot of help. 

After running for a long time, Takeshi suddenly slowed down when he reached the edge of a forest. The surrounding atmosphere was filled with a strong smell of cat. Is Neko Granny nearby? 

"We're just abit far from Neko Granny's home, let's..." Obito jumped out of the forest and landed in the open space of the ruins ahead.

As he was talking, he saw a group of ninja cats walking out of the ruins ahead. One by one, they are as menacing as tigers and leopards. 

"Meow!" 

"Meow~meow~" 

"..." After meowing, there were more and more ninja cats, almost surrounding the place one by one. Takeshi jumped to the edge of the tree and looked down at them.

They are all ninja cats. The strength of these ninja cats is unknown for the time being, but the menace is real - cats have a strong sense of territory. 

As the saying goes, that predators don't tolerate any competitors. Before when he went to Uchiha clan compound, all the cats there came out to drive him out. Now, these ninja cats are doing the same thing.

The black cat roared and jumped down from the branch. The group of ninja cats rushed over like sharks after smelling the blood, all of them extremely fierce. 

"Sensei, this..." 

"Let's take a look first." Minato raised his hand. It seemed that Takeshi was indeed not the ninja cat who ran away from here.

Otherwise, he shouldn't have been attacked by a group when he returned here, but they can't intervene. This is the battle of ninja cats, a battle among the ninja beasts. 

Takeshi roared sharply, and his voice was not like an ordinary kitten at all. Instead, he was fierce, powerful, and full of killing intent.

The first few cats that rushed forward were knocked away by his three attacks that instantly counterattacked, and when the other ninja cats approached... Needle Jizo.

"MEOW!" Those ninja cats were all pricked by needle-like hairs. 

Then Takeshi raised his head and inhaled strongly. Wind bullets flew out of his mouth, severely damaging the legs of more than a dozen cats in the blink of an eye. Ninja cats fight without harming their lives, but injuries are inevitable. 

The injured ninja cats retreated knowingly and stopped fighting Takeshi. Half a minute later, all the ninja cats present were injured by Takeshi, and they were huddled on the side. 

"Meow~ I only want to buy ninja tools, I'm not interested in your territory."
