"Alright madam, when you bring this cat back, please pay attention to her mood and don't let her overeat in the near future..." Nono said something professionally while Kabuto watched and listened. Takeshi knew that it was this little boy who had studied these things and was a genius.
He watched secretly from the side and saw Kabuto deliberately pretending to be cute and telling jokes, which made the lady smile.
He understood why they was able to establish themselves in a short period of time, buy this small shop, and become popular in the city of Capital City.
Danzo and Orochimaru were right about one thing. Kabuto was a genius and was born to be a spy.
Takeshi observed for a while. Within a few seconds, he felt a chill all over his body, as if his tail had been stepped on by someone, and this strong chill came from behind. He was so frightened that he immediately turned around and looked behind.
This was a woman who looked like a noblewoman from the Land of Fire, and she was holding a cat in her hand. The cat looked very well-behaved, but he was also a cat, and Takeshi could understand its situation at a glance. Terror!
At the same time, the woman also stared at Takeshi. Of course, he didn't recognize this appearance, but there was only one person in the Land of Fire with this cold and stern gaze like a poisonous snake - Orochimaru, one of the three Sannins.
Why is he here! The hair all over Takeshi's body was about to stand up, but he didn't dare to stand up. He forced his eyes away and pretended not to notice.
Orochimaru chuckled lightly and put the cat he had caught somewhere on the ground. As soon as the cat landed, he quickly ran towards the door without stopping.
He walked over. Although his appearance became very beautiful and elegant, it was difficult to hide the coldness in his bones.
Besides, he probably didn't want hide it at this time. He walked towards Takeshi step by step with a smile on his face. Takeshi wanted to run away, but he felt that if he ran, he would end up in a worse situation.
"I like well-behaved cats, and the one just now was too bad." Orochimaru smiled, picked up the black cat from the corner, then touched it with his hand, and used the transformation jutsu to hide the name tag around Takeshi's neck, and whispered in soft voice with chilling undertone: "You better well behaved."
"Meow!" Takeshi nodded without saying anything. This guy is a ruthless man. The cat must have been tortured just now after being caught, so it didn't dare to move.
He didn't want to suffer. Orochimaru picked him up with a smile. Of course, this is just a transformation jutsu. If it were his original appearance, this smile would have become a cold evil smile. After all, this appearance is just a mask...
"Do you know who is inside?" Orochimaru whispered.
"Meow?" Black Cat pretended to be stupid and did not dare to answer directly. Orochimaru didn't get angry, patted his head gently and said, "Cooperate." The next second, the lady inside hugged the cat and left.
Orochimaru walked in with Takeshi in his arms. After seeing Nono and Kabuto, he handed Takeshi to Nono and said, "I heard that you recently opened a massage shop for pets. Can you give me a massage for this naughty fellow?"
"No problem, madam, sit inside." Nono not noticing anything strange, she quickly invited Orochimaru to come in and sit down.
Kabuto continued to play the role of a apprentice, watching from the sidelines without taking any action himself. But he recognized that the black cat was Takeshi.
Orochimaru smiled, sat down in the room, glanced at Kabuto, and suddenly said: "Is this your apprentice?"
"Uh, yes."
"I want to see your apprentice's abilities, if you don't mind me asking?"
"This..." Nono was stunned for a moment and felt something strange was going on. The person in front of them seemed to have ulterior motives. She seemed to pay special attention to Kabuto.
Could she be here for Kabuto? She didn't see the flaw in Orochimaru's transformation jutsu, so she thought that this woman was really a noble woman from the Land of Fire. She was just worried that this woman had other ideas about Kabuto.
"Sensei, please let me try this time!" Kabuto bowed deeply.
"Okay, let my student, try it." Nono suppressed his worries and forced Kabuto to massage Takeshi with a smile. Kabuto touched the cat's body, pressed it, as he started massaging, he used some medical ninjutsu methods to become more certain that this was Takeshi, that unique, weird, and trouble-making black cat, and he became more and more suspicious.
He knew very well what this cat was capable of, and even Kakashi suffered at his hands. Why would he listen to this woman now? Could it be that...The little boy was shocked and realized that this woman's identity was fake, and she was actually a more powerful ninja than Kakashi.
Among the people Kabuto knew, Kakashi was the only one who was the strongest, so he could only be used as a Comparison for ninjas.
Even though he understood his current situation, he didn't make too much noise. He massaged Takeshi calmly and steadily. The strength was exactly right and no one could see anything wrong.
"Good boy, you have a pair of skillful hands. I see you are still young and have some talent. Why don't you become a ninja?"
"Be a ninja, me?" Kabuto pointed at himself in surprise while massaging. The lady Orochimaru turned into smiled and said in a somewhat joking tone: "Yes, why don't you become famous in the ninja world as a ninja, but just stay here and be a masseur?"
"Madam!" What on earth is she planning? As a former root member Nono's instincts started screaming.
As soon as She heard these words, She knew that the person in front of her was definitely not an ordinary noble from Capital City, but someone from the village. Her heart felt cold. Konoha... no, someone sent from Lord Danzo.
"Don't panic, I'm not his, I'm just a little interested in your child. Your name is Kabuto? I'm very interested in you. If you want to be a ninja one day, you might as well come to me. " After Orochimaru finished speaking, he stood up and prepared to leave.
"Your cat..."
"It is very wellmannered and will go home on its own. Take this as reward." He put down a secret scroll and left quietly. Takeshi huddled in his position, not daring to express his anger even though he was being scratched very comfortably, hoping that Orochimaru would leave soon, while Kabuto and Nono were stunned for a moment.
When they came to their senses, Orochimaru had already left. There is a scroll on the table. Nono took it over and took a look, and was immediately surprised.
This is a scroll recording medical ninjutsu. It contains several medical ninjutsu that Kabuto has not yet mastered, but her focus is not the medical ninjutsu, but some biological research and knowledge recorded in the second half of the volume. She was shocked.
The person who could take out this thing was definitely not an ordinary person in the village. Nono thought about it, and after eliminating many conjectures one by one, a possibility emerged in his mind - Orochimaru, one of the three Sannins. She put it aside, her thoughts filled with confusion and worry.
On the contrary, Kabuto didn't have much impression. After all, the other person didn't even leave their name, and he didn't know much about Konoha.
He only thought that the person was a powerful ninja, but he had no idea how powerful and what the other party's attention meant.
Takeshi was very happy on his side. He was being served very comfortably, and Orochimaru was gone. It was a blessing in disguise. After a while, he couldn't help but sigh. It is true that true expertise comes from practice.
Kabuto's skills have become more and more advanced, much better than Minato's random scratches. 'Speaking of which, did Minato even find out that I ran away?' He thought to himself, and opened the points panel with a thought, and found that there were two hundred extra points on it... only couple hundred points! Only this amount ?
