"This is the first time I've seen this happen. It was a bit scary..." Obito swallowed, his voice laced with concern.
"Cats are no better than ninja dogs. They have a strong sense of territory. Just like us Konoha ninjas who boldly enter into Sunagakure Village now, they will get the same treatment." Minato made a joke, trying to lighten the mood.
There was an Inuzuka clan in Konoha, but no family specifically brought ninja cats to the battlefield. This was why these ninja cats were too free-spirited, and cats like Takeshi were considered the first generation of cooperative ninja beasts among ninja cats.
"Meow!" A faint mewling sound echoed through the air.
"Meow~" The sound of a cat's meow was incomprehensible to outsiders, but Takeshi, as a member of the cat race, could understand its meaning.
These cat cubs were warning him that there was a king here. Needless to say, that king must be the two-tailed cat.
He likely felt humiliated by Takeshi intruding in his territory and beating his subordinates. To be king of these weaklings was simply embarrassing.
"Get lost!" Takeshi roared angrily, wishing he knew the Multi-size Jutsu at that moment; otherwise, his enlarged size would definitely be a deterrent. Even so, in that moment, these cats were defeated by him.
At his command, the ninja cats fled in all directions, no longer surrounding them, but it was not necessarily the case if they continued to walk in.
They were all just peripheral ninja cats. The strong ninja cats were still in the ninja cat castle. However, Takeshi was not afraid of them.
Only the boss was more difficult to deal with. It was quite easy to deal with other ninja cats.
"Meow~ let's go." Takeshi opened his mouth and yawned, then stood up and walked slowly inside. He didn't know the road, but there was only a trace of human scent ahead, and the rest was the smell of cats. There was no need to ask Obito where it was.
"Let's go." Minato was traveling at such a high speed that he was behind Takeshi in just the blink of an eye.
Obito kept shouting "Wait for me!" from behind and tried his best to catch up with the man and the cat in front.
"Obito, this is the village?" Minato couldn't help but be a little curious when he saw a residential area.
This was the territory reserved by the Uchiha clan, and people from Konoha usually didn't come here. And Minato had never been here before, and this was the first time he saw the scene here.
"This is the ruins left over from the previous war. Later, many ninja cats lived here, and then Neko Granny also appeared. I don't know exactly how that happened." Obito scratched his head, his expression puzzled. He usually didn't care about his clan, and because of that, he only had a partial understanding of the history here.
"A group of cats smells really bad." Takeshi couldn't help complaining. There was the smell of other cats everywhere.
To humans, these smells were subtle, but to cats, they were quite obvious.
"I haven't even mentioned about you, an outsider cat, but you already hate me, meow~" A ninja cat sat on a roof, staring down at Takeshi.
This cat was the one next to Neko Granny. She seemed to be called Hina? Takeshi glanced at her, then sniffed the scent, turned the corner, and entered the room under her.
After entering the door, he saw a white cat - this white cat was unusual. It had two tails and very sharp claws. Seeing Takeshi come in, it licked its paws. The two-tailed Nekomata.
The boss of this ninja cat castle had lived in the castle tower for a long time... Information came to Takeshi's mind, and his eyes were a little wary.
This cat was the most difficult to mess with among all ninja cats, but he was usually very lazy. He rarely went out, so Takeshi didn't expect to meet him here.
"That's the outsider?" Nekomata stared at Takeshi, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes. As the boss of this area, this was the first time he saw an outsider ninja cat like this, as he had beaten down all the ninja cats here as soon as he came.... Takeshi stared back and took a few steps forward very cautiously.
This guy was really powerful. He didn't know the Multi-size jutsu yet, so he was inferior in size. But this was inside the house, so he probably wouldn't dare to follow him.
'I need to take action!' The little black cat was thinking in his heart; if claws and hair attacks won't work, the Rasengan will be helpful later, and there's nothing to be afraid of.
"Hmph!" The white cat stood up, said "come back another day" and left the room. Minato and Obito were relieved. This two-tailed cat was the boss here.
As humans, they couldn't intervene in this kind of fight. If the fight got too gruesome, things would get messy.
"Meow~ You guys buy it for me; try to pick it as big as possible, I will grow bigger." Takeshi walked out of the room after saying that.
"Hey wait!" Obito chased out, but the black cat was nowhere to be seen. He suddenly became a little worried...
"Don't think too much, fighting between ninja cats will not be lethal." Minato said. It's not like a war between one clan and another foreign clan; this is like a fight between members of the same clan.
So usually, there won't be any fatalities, but a severe beating may be necessary, and there is a possibility that Takeshi will be covered with scars when he comes back.
Of course, this is their opinion. In their eyes, Takeshi was just a kitten after all, and it was difficult to compete with the two-tailed cat Matata and other ninja cats.
But in fact, Takeshi didn't feel panic at all when he walked out. Although the two-tailed cat was strong, it was not impossible to win this fight.
After tracking it out, the two-tailed white cat stopped and turned around to look at the little black cat behind him.
It was daytime, and the black fur couldn't hide him at all. Moreover, to the cat, the smell was so obvious at such proximity.
"You want to fight me?" The Nekomata turned around and stared at Takeshi with its huge eyes. Anger boiled in his eyes, and he suddenly slapped his paws... The ground shook.
"Yes." Takeshi called out, and then dealt with the tremor carefully.
"Ha, you are just a kitten. Let's wait until you grow up." The Nekomata turned around again. It knew that Takeshi was very powerful.
He could defeat so many ninja cats when he was not even one year old. This showed that his strength was indeed strong, and felt Takeshi still had to grow alot to fight him.
The little black cat crouched his body and suddenly launched an attack. The Nekomata sensed this, turned around, and raised his paw to slap Takeshi.
If this paw hit, the little black cat would not die but would be seriously injured. However, he found that the black cat was very fast, much faster than he expected. He jumped past the predicted position in the blink of an eye and then climbed up along his front paws.
Nekomata reacted quickly and shook quickly, but before being shaken away, the little black cat spit out wind bullets one after another and then used the force to jump and change positions. These few hits missed—He missed on purpose.
"You are very powerful." The Nekomata's eyes narrowed. This cat's potential was greater than he thought. No wonder he could defeat so many ninja cats in one fell swoop.
Then he shrunk his body until he was only much bigger than Takeshi's body shape. The body was smaller, but also more agile.
This was a formal battle. The black and white cat's started biting each other, Takeshi struggled to dodge, and only used needle Jizo when he had no choice.
The two cats fought for more than a minute, but they were still tied, each with injuries. The white cat's fur was ruffled, exposing bare patches underneath and even had a very miserable spiral wound.
However, Takeshi's injury was indeed more serious, but the natural energy in his body was dissipating its effects, so the wound healed quickly.
"It's a tie for the time being. Let's fight again after I turn one year old."
"Where are you from, little ninja cat?" Nekomata questioned the black cat. Although he was not necessarily afraid of this kid in terms of strength, he was indeed surpassed in terms of talent.
In the future - when he was one year old, Nekomata was afraid that he wouldn't be enough to hit the black cat across from him with a single attack.
Is there another ninja cat summons in the ninja world? or Cat's Holy summon land?
