This was the second time Qingshu saw such a scene.
Desolate ruins.
The weird and cold wind blows through the festering earth, like dry cracks that have lost all moisture. Between the gaps and gaps, the plants that accidentally survive are covered with gray and black, twisting like the deepest nightmare, taking on different inexplicable shapes.
As far as the eye can see, there is no human habitation.
Only Miyin, the ninja, was in high spirits.
As I walked, I couldn't help but jump up and down.
Too quickly licked his balls and paws again, waiting for Haruki and Uchiha Mikoto.
Further forward, it seems as if the apocalyptic wasteland world is crammed into cat houses of different heights.
Qingshu maintained his speed, his eyes quickly scanning all kinds of weird cats.
Some are normal, and some are like foxes and cerebellar tigers.
"arrive."
Meiyin stopped.
Before the two of them could speak, two cats appeared in the corridor.
"It's Hinawa-sama Tabori."
Meiyin saw them and introduced to Qingshu, "If you want to see Granny Cat, you must gain the trust of both of them."
"Meiyin, why did you bring another human back, meow?"
Hina, who was wearing red clothes, shook her cat's tail and lay on the ground, her tone showing laziness.
"Hina-sama, we want to meet Grandma Cat."
"No." Hina shook her head, "He is not from Uchiha, nya."
"day……"
"I'll do it." Haruki interrupted Mei Yin and walked up to Hina.
"Human, I don't want to be tricked by pretty boys, meow."
Hina's eyes suddenly lit up, and the pink flesh ball held a golden ball.
"Is that enough?" Qingshu smiled.
"Enough...not enough!"
Then its other flesh ball also held the same golden ball, and its eyes seemed to glow with golden light.
"Hina, you...uh huh."
Tian Huo, who wanted to speak on the other side, had a big golden ball stuffed into his mouth.
"Human, I like you, meow."
Hina hid the golden ball and seemed to see a smile on her furry face.
"Tell me, what's the matter, meow?"
"I want to hire a hundred ninja cats."
"Meow?"
Hina looked at him confused, she had never encountered such a situation before.
In addition to psychic beasts, members of the Ninja Cat Clan also sell information part-time.
Why hire so many ninja cats at once?
"Let's make it clear first, we won't sell ourselves to cat-catching mice."
Qingshu broke into a cold sweat, what the hell is selling yourself?
"It's not these."
"Please follow me, meow."
Hina stood up gracefully and walked towards the depths.
Soon after, Qingshu saw Granny Cat and a whole house of cats.
A human woman wearing dark gray cat ears and holding a pipe.
She usually runs a weapons shop and is the contractor of Ninja Cat.
I happened not to be in the village today.
"Grandma Cat, I want to hire a hundred ninja cats." Haruki said straight to the point.
"One hundred?" Granny Cat stopped the pipe in her hand and looked at Qingshu in surprise, "If you want to do an experiment, please find a guinea pig."
"..."
Qingshu twitched the corner of his mouth.
What did the little white mouse do wrong? It was so angry.
"Don't worry, I won't hurt any cats. I hope to let them dance at the celebration."
"?"
A question mark appeared on Granny Cat's face.
Ninja cat dancing?
She couldn't understand Qingshu's thoughts. What's so good about cats dancing?
It's really cute though.
"May I?"
Haruki noticed the change in her expression, which seemed a little unfavorable, and he added, "This is paid. I will pay each ninja cat one hundred thousand taels in accordance with the standards for B-level tasks."
The sound of breathing came one after another.
Almost all the cats raised their heads.
One hundred thousand taels, one hundred is ten million.
His eyes suddenly turned into the shape of money.
"What a... generous move."
Grandma Cat took a puff of her pipe and stretched out her hand to comfort the restless Ninja cat beside her.
"If you are willing to make a contract, I will agree to the deal with you."
"Of course I do."
Qingshu smiled.
Sure enough, money can make... a cat dance.
Granny Cat quickly prepared the contract. After seeing Qingshu sign it, she asked, "Did you sign the psychic beast?"
"Signed."
"It's such a pity." Granny Man looked like she had lost her victim, and then she asked with hope again, "Can it be changed?"
"..."
Cold sweat broke out on Qingshu's head.
"I'm afraid it's impossible. What I signed is a slug."
Grandma Cat couldn't help but be stunned.
It is actually one of the three holy places.
It is indeed impossible to sign a psychic contract with the Ninja Cat Clan.
"If Granny Cat wants to find someone to make a contract with, after the celebration, there may be many people who are willing."
"Why do you say that?"
Grandma Cat doesn't believe that a dance can do anything.
Because the ninja cat clan is not considered strong among psychic beasts.
Those who are truly strong prefer the Three Holy Lands or some exotic beasts, such as Sansho Fish, Rashomon, Monkey Demon, etc.
Qingshu didn't explain, he said: "I wonder if Granny Cat is willing to make a bet with me. If the situation turns out to be right, how about you and I opening a new store together 50/50?"
Grandma Cat thought for a moment and nodded.
Anyway, there is nothing to lose to her.
Qingshu smiled, she didn't understand the lethality of cuteness.
Besides, who said ninja cats have to be bound to ninjas?
After leaving, Meiyin immediately asked: "As a rich human being, can I also go dancing?"
Even though Uchiha Mikoto was kind to her, she felt the urge to change her master at this moment.
In its eyes, Qingshu is simply walking money.
"Of course." Qingshu replied.
"You guys didn't expect that besides being greedy, you are also greedy for money." Uchiha Mikoto grabbed the back of its neck and held it with her hands.
“You can only buy food if you have money.”
"..."
Uchiha Mikoto raised an eyebrow, which made sense.
She stroked her soft cat hair and asked: "Teacher, why do you want Uchiha people to do this?"
Qingshu glanced at her and didn't answer directly. Instead, he asked a seemingly unrelated question.
"What do you think of the relationship between the Uchiha and the villagers?"
Uchiha Mikoto was a little surprised, but she was very calm: "It's not good. They are too proud and do not pay attention to humaneness when dealing with problems. They have offended many people."
"It seems you understand very clearly."
Haruki said softly, "Emotions that are not channeled and suppressed in the heart will only destroy the body. The same is true for Uchiha. If they accumulate too much, once they explode, they will inevitably hurt themselves and Konoha."
"But what's the connection with this celebration you're talking about?"
"A very serious person is suddenly discovered to have another side, such as being confused, being a wanderlust, liking to be touched on the head, unable to stop swallowing when seeing food, etc. How will your perception of her change?"
"It seems quite cute." Uchiha Mikoto thought about it carefully, and it seemed that Kushina was like this too.
"The so-called contrasting cuteness. If you want to change the inherent impression, you must show a completely different side. What's more, celebrations are everyone's favorite form of entertainment. Uchiha is too high in the sky and gradually becomes isolated from other villagers."
Haruki looked at Uchiha Mikoto's thoughtful expression, slowed down her speech, and said, "This is the call to go to the crowd."
