14. Cat-eared Uchiha asks for a monthly pass]

PreviousBack to directoryNext
On the surface, Anko is just an ordinary girl wearing fishnet clothes and liking three-color balls.

But the moment she grabbed the kunai, she turned into a warrior and shuttled among the bandits ahead.

Anko, who has experienced the Ninja War, is a chuunin who was promoted during the war, so she can naturally crush these bandits.

Even the only wandering ninja among the bandits had his life easily harvested by kunai before forming the seal.

After the wandering ninja fell, the mob that lost their leader lost their fighting spirit and fled in all directions.

Neither Orochimaru nor Hyugazo had any intention of chasing, and stayed where they were.

Using a cloth to wipe the bloodstains of kunai, Anko looked at the three-color dumplings again, shook her head slightly and put them in her backpack. Killing people made her lose her appetite.

Hyugazo and Uchibo walked to the fallen bandit and frowned.

The skinny bandits naturally had no money to extract, and they even had to waste chakra to bury them on the spot.

While disposing of the body, Hinata discovered a bandit who was not dead yet. His throat was slit, but he was not dead.

Kill him or let him go?

Just when Hinata was hesitating, a big snake appeared and bit the bandit's throat.

It was Orochimaru's doing, and Hyugazo was not surprised. Even if the bandit was rescued, there was no chance of him surviving.

Killing him may be Orochimaru's unique gentleness.

Fire escape burned the corpses to avoid causing plague, and Earth escape raised up small mounds, adding several unnamed graves.

After completing this, the convoy set off again. Hyugazo, who was escorting him on the road, fell into deep thought.

He opened his Byakugan and pretended to detect the situation ahead, but Hinata focused on his hands.

Those are dots of fluorescence, the fluorescence produced on the corpses of those fluorescent bandits after they die.

Regarding fluorescence, Hyugazo felt inexplicably familiar, but he could not start research immediately because Orochimaru was beside him.

His weirdness must not be discovered by Orochimaru. If Orochimaru knows it, Danzo will also know it.

Although I don't know if a small character like myself can be noticed by Danzo, I still have to be vigilant accordingly.

Taking advantage of the bald official's opportunity to rest, Hinata put away the fluorescent light and prepared to conduct research after the mission was over.

Another day later, the convoy successfully arrived at the capital of the Land of Fire, which is almost the largest city in the ninja world. After sending the important personnel to the mansion, the mission team did not return to Konoha immediately.

It is impossible for Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas, to be sent out for mere protection. He is representing the Hokage and sent to the capital of the Land of Fire to demand military expenditures in recent years.

The structures of all countries in the ninja world are actually similar. Except for the perished country of Whirlpool, perhaps in small and remote countries, they all have military institutions such as ninja villages.

The daimyo was responsible for administration and tax collection, while the ninja village was responsible for military and diplomatic operations.

In a sense, the Ninja Village truly controls those countries and is the real master of each country.

But the country cannot be governed by ninjas who have graduated from elementary school and are full of fighting ideas. It can only rely on daimyo and nobles.

During Orochimaru's visit to the top management of the Fire Country, Hyugazo and Uchibo got a short vacation.

On the bustling street of the capital of the Fire Nation, Hyugazo entered a ninja shop to choose a kunai for Yin.

Simply speaking of the quality of weapons, Fire Country is definitely not as good as Konoha Hidden Village, but it is better in terms of exquisiteness and can be used as an apology gift.

In addition, a clan of ninja cats who are friends with Uchiha also live near the capital, and they are a clan of psychic beasts who have signed a contract with Uchiha.

On the way to accompany Uchiha, Hinata met the Ninja Cat clan. The Ninja Cat's temperament is similar to that of Uchiha. They are not good at expressing their emotions and are very arrogant.

After glancing at himself a few times, the Ninja Cat showed a contemptuous expression and led Yin into the Ninja Cat's residence.

As an outsider, Hyugazo was naturally unable to enter, so he could only stay outside and wait patiently.

Not long after, Uchibo walked out with a stack of money, put part of it into Maomao's purse, and handed the other part to Hinata Zou.

This money was the final payment from the resale of the Kumo ninja's loot last time. They had resold the loot more than once.

Taking the money with a smile, Hyugazo was about to put it in his purse, but found that he found a familiar scent on the ninja cat, which was exactly the same as the previous fluorescent scent.

"White eyes, open!"

Hinata opened his Byakugan and stared at the Ninja Cat, but he only saw the Ninja Cat's skeleton and the bell in front of its neck.

Is my feeling wrong?

After pondering for a while, Hinata Zang used the power of the black pattern and entered sage mode.

In sage mode, Hinata's perception of the surroundings has been greatly improved, and he can faintly feel the familiar aura on the ninja cat. Although it is very weak, it is exactly the same as the feeling caused by the previous fluorescence.

"Meow, meow, meow!" The ninja cat was so frightened that its hair exploded, and it curled up as if it had encountered a natural enemy.

"Bell Cat, Zang, what's wrong with you?"

Uchibo didn't understand what was happening now, and looked at Hyugazo in confusion as to why the latter used that power.

Didn't we agree not to use that power unless absolutely necessary?

Uchibo's shout helped Hinata regain his composure, close the black pattern, and return to normal.

"I'm scared to death." The bell cat recovered from the explosive fur, patted its chest, and bared its teeth towards Hinata, "You white-eyed boy over there, you'd better leave with the Uchiha girl, we are not welcome by the tolerant cat clan.

A member of the Hyuga family!”

Hinata nodded slightly and understood the offense caused by his behavior. He thanked Uchihara and left with Uchihara.

During the Warring States Period, there was a period of opposition between Uchiha and the Hyuga family.

With the establishment of the Ninja Village, the Ninja clan living in the Land of Fire reconciled, but the Psychic Beast family did not let go so easily.

"What did you find at the Ninja Cat just now?" Uchibo asked after leaving the Ninja Cat realm.

"It's nothing, I just think those cats are weird and cute."

"You said something incomprehensible again..." Uchibo rolled his eyes and said, "It must be closely related to yours!"

"Almost..." Hyugazo said perfunctorily, then took out the exquisite kunai and handed it to Yin.

"This is my apology for being late last time, and also thank you for helping me deal with the loot every time."

"We are teammates..."

Uchibo took the kunai, flicked his hand through the air, frowned slightly, and said:

"This kunai is not suitable for fighting. There is a risk of missing when thrown... How much did you spend on it?"

"It is not meant for melee combat. The handle is empty, just enough for a few detonating charms to be stuffed in."

"Indeed." Uchibo studied it and found the mechanism.

Looking at Uchibo with fluttering long hair, holding a kunai in both hands, and half-bent body, Hinata Zou inexplicably remembered the ninja cat with explosive hair before, and couldn't help but say:

"Yin, you must look very good with your cat ears."

Uchibo stood up straight, glanced at Hinata Zang, and said slowly: "You won't be sick again, will you?!"
