Takeshi struggled to find a partner to earn points during this time. After Obito awakened his Sharingan, he received special training from the Uchiha clan and stayed indoors for two to three days. While Kakashi remained hospitalized.
With no other options, Takeshi waited for Minato to fulfill his promise to bring him to the Capital, where he could locate Kabuto. That was his current mission.
As for the Nohara family's hardships, Takeshi felt it wasn't necessarily a bad thing. Being unable to join the battlefield at least save his life. Although it was cowardly to say so, it was a fact—Nohara Aizawa was likely died in canon, but here, he at least survived. Takeshi simply wanted to survive in Konoha and protect those he cared about. He really didn't want to lose anyone close to him.
"I haven't been to Minato's house yet, and I don't know where it is." Takeshi wandered the streets, searching for Minato. The blond was probably hanging out with Uzumaki Kushina and had forgotten everything else.
Takeshi needed to remind him and hold him to his earlier promises. If he couldn't return to the village, his previous promises would no longer hold weight.
Takeshi roamed the streets of Konoha, seeking Minato's scent. After a long time, he couldn't find Minato but encountered a peculiar woman.
She had fiery red hair and carried a small basket on her arm. The woman was walking down the street, looking around, glancing left and right.
She seemed to be shopping for groceries. Uzumaki Kushina. Takeshi's eyes lit up. Minato came and went without a trace, but he found his wife...
Okay, he thought, that's enough. Takeshi followed her quietly, and after a few steps, Kushina stopped at a corner. The black cat looked around, then jumped up to the wall, walking around the corner along the wall, searching for traces of Kushina after the corner. However, he found a pair of bright eyes staring at him after lowering his head.
"Little black cat, why are you following me?" The red-haired woman stretched out her hand, grabbed him from the wall, and stared at him carefully for a few seconds, as if she was deciding if she should to teach him a lesson or not.
"Meow!" Takeshi was frightened and immediately pointed his paw at his neck. The name tag on him was very bright. Kushina raised him and looked at the name tag around his neck. She didn't react when she saw "Takeshi," but she remembered him completely when she saw the words "Rin."
"Minato's student's cat." Kushina looked over and over, even taking off the ninja cat's coat to take a closer look. A strange smile broke out on her face, then she held the basket in one hand and held the cat in the other and said, "It's still a male cats, it's rare to find a obidient cat. I'll wait for you to grow up someday and find you a female cat to have a baby."
"Meow?" Takeshi was shocked. This woman is such a thug. She took off his clothes when they met her and tries to help herself decide his future with a female cat. Although he are cats in this life, he was humans in his previous life. Besides, this cat is less than a year old now. 'Don't you think it's too early to talk about this?'
"Let's take you to my house." Regardless of his opinion, Kushina hugged him with her arms and walked all the way to Minato's residence. When they arrived at the house, the smell of Minato was much stronger.
No wonder Takeshi couldn't find Minato's house. His home was relatively remote and didn't look big, but it had three rooms inside. After entering, it looked like there should be one room for Minato and one room for Kushina.
"They haven't had sex yet..." Takeshi already understood what was going on. There was no smell of Minato in Kushina's room. Virgin! he muttered in his heart.
"That Minato hasn't come back yet, but he will come back soon, because we are going to the Capital today, so he will definitely come back." Kushina explained.
"Meow meow?" 'What the...'
Minato agreed to take him to the Capital, but it turned out that he had already planned to take Kushina to the Capital, and he was just along for the ride. Takeshi felt tied and felt that this cat's life was difficult. Kushina went to cook, and Takeshi sat on the table, waiting for the blond to come back.
The meal was almost done. At this time, the sound of a key turning was heard from the door. Soon the door was opened, and a touch of blond hair appeared in the crack of the door, and then someone walked in.
"Kushina, I'm be back..." Minato was about to say hello to Kushina, but when he walked in, he suddenly saw a black cat's eyes staring at him. The look in his eyes was filled with resentment, anger, sadness and a complex mixture of other emotions.
He scratched his hair, smiled awkwardly, and explained: "Takeshi, I have been busy with Kirigakure's affairs in the past few days, and I have no time to take you there. Today, today I will take you to the Capital."
"Ah, will he also come to the Capital?" Kushina brought the dishes and was stunned for a moment when she heard this sentence.
Minato was even more embarrassed and could only laugh a few times without saying anything.
"Meow~Eat!" Takeshi protected the bowl of fish that Kushina brought. Originally, this bowl of grilled fish was Minato's share, but now it belonged to him. Minato didn't care at all, still holding it, and laughed awkwardly.
At the dinner table, the scumbag and woman talked about how they met in the past, and mentioned that kushina was kidnapped by Kumogakure Village and was rescued by Minato before returning to Konoha, etc... Takeshi was eating beside her.
The torture was so severe that the grilled fish no longer tasted good, and he just felt like a third wheel at the table. However, he deliberately interrupted the atmosphere in the middle.
Although it couldn't fill the gap of eating cat food in the past few days, it could be considered the first opportunity in these days to earn points. So, what was supposed to be a heartwarming meal was interrupted by the black cat and ended without a problem.
He packed up his things and left Konoha, heading for the Capital. Minato is usually very busy, so he can't handle too many things. Different from before. This time they walked on the official road, and their speed was not as fast as when they went on a mission.
They could see many bustling towns along the way. Takeshi looked around and got a taste of the various customs of the Land of Fire. They didn't arrive in the Capital until around dinner time.
Takeshi followed Minato and his wife to shop on the side of the road. The stingy Minato didn't think of himself, but Kushina thought of buying something for him. Of course, he didn't care about that either.
After walking around, Takeshi suddenly saw a small shop in front of him. There was a familiar scent circulating outside the shop—it was the scent of Kabuto and Yakushi Nono.
He quickly ran in. Minato and Kushina were looking at things and whispering to each other. They didn't notice the little black cat running into the shop.
Takeshi entered the shop and saw Nono and Kabuto inside. Outside, there was a middle-aged man who looked like he was from the orphanage.
He came over to help them manage the store. The store seems to be really popular. he doesn't know if Kabuto's techniques have gotten better better...
He pondered for a moment, followed the scent, and found it. He saw the Medical ninja Nono treating and massaging a cat, while the Kabuto looked like an apprentice next to her.
On one side, sat a noble lady, who was obviously a noble in Capital City city and also the owner of this cat. Kabuto's eyes lit up when he saw Takeshi, but after glancing at the lady, he gently waved his hand to signal Takeshi not to speak rashly.
