Naruto: Paws and Whiskers

It appears that Rin and Kakashi are still on the same level in terms of class competency. As for Obito, generally speaking, outstanding students like Kakashi and Rin are often paired with a relatively weak ninja in the class.

Given Obito's kind personality and alignment with the interests of the Third Hokage, there is a high probability that Obito will team up with Kakashi and Rin and join Namikaze Minato's team.

"Sandaime-sama, do you have any other tasks?" Kakashi's bright eyes sparkled. The Third Hokage coughed lightly and said, "You're taking a break recently. In seven or eight days, there will be a new task for you."

"Yes," Kakashi responded, his eyes never leaving the Hokage's face. Takeshi, who had grown significantly in just five days, suddenly called out to show his presence, diverting their attention.

"Meow!" The Third Hokage remembered something and suddenly got up, heading to the back of the room to retrieve a special ninja forehead protector.

This protector is bestowed upon all ninja beasts who pass the test, and it serves as a symbol of their qualifications to follow their handler on the battlefield.

In addition to the protective cover, there is also a set of ninja cat outerwear, which, although simple and less beautiful than Takeshi's own, would allow him to wear it openly.

However, Takeshi didn't have the hands to take it, so he raised his head and stared at Sandaime as if he were a fool.

"Haha, I'll send someone to your home," Sandaime said with a chuckle, unfazed by Takeshi's antics. He had seen many naughty children in his life, so how could he care about a mischievous cat?

"Meow!" Takeshi didn't respond, but Kakashi didn't say that he could speak, and Takeshi simply cried out in response before exiting the office and quickly leaving the ominous Hokage Building.

The Third Hokage narrowed his eyes slightly, having monitored Kakashi's training process using the telescope technique.

He had witnessed the scene where Takeshi stabbed the other ninja dogs with his hair, reminiscent of Needle Jizo.

Although he didn't doubt that it was passed on by that bastard, Jiraiya, who had not returned to the village for many years, he thought that this technique was just a rare coincidence in the world. However, this cat's chakra capabilities were indeed rare.

"The future is limitless!" Sandaime sighed, valuing not only the Ninja Cat but also the little girl behind the Ninja Cat, whose medical talent was also excellent.

The combination of the two may be able to carry the banner of the medical corp in the future.

Of course, Takeshi didn't know what this man was thinking. He was squatting on the roof, gazing at the three statues on the Hokage Rock and the translucent system panel next to him, calculating the points he had just lifted the Third Hokage's hat. After careful calculation, it's probably only a little over 800.

'The Hokage is just so stingy!' he complained about the system in his heart, but in fact, he understood that this was probably because the Third Hokage did not have any emotional fluctuations due to his own nonsense.

This also proved that the Third Hokage has great potential that can be tapped. If the Third Hokage can be made to tremble with anger, it will not be a problem to make thousands in an instant.

Including the more than 800 points he just gained, Takeshi had accumulated more than 2,400 points, but these points must be consumed at least 300 every day for special food for Ninja cats.

Still quite poor. If he had enough points, how can he feel sorry for the mere points? He would have been better to try out a cat food priced at 1,000 points. It's just that the points are lacking at the moment, so he really needs to use them wisely.

He jumped to another rooftop, looking around for its location. It's very close to the Ninja Academy and the hospital.

If he goes to the hospital, he can look for Rin. If he goes to Academy, he can look for Anko to catch up with her.

As for Kurenai and the others, most of them are likely training somewhere, so he may not be able to find anyone at their house.

He thought about it for a moment, but still felt that it was appropriate to go to Academy.

There are Anko-chan, Hayate, and many other ninjas at the Academy. He was just messing around before and didn't have time to fully focus on training. After Rin graduates, it will be difficult for him to go to Academy so freely.

Before leaving, the dungeon needs to be cleared and the points harvested. Takeshi was thinking wildly as he walked, and his thoughts were not in a hurry.

All kinds of thoughts were flying in his mind, thinking about how to earn more points. Two thousand four hundred, excluding today's cat food, that's a little over two thousand one hundred. It's still far from five thousand.

'Hey, I don't know when I can get these five thousand, and there are a lot of wind release ninjutsu in today's lottery. The wind release ninjutsu is very compatible with me. If I can get it...' His hand was a little itchy.

'Thinking that I could draw two batches of ten rounds with more than two thousand on hand, I almost can't help myself. This is also the temptation of the lottery. Even though I know it is a scourge and the consequences will probably be bad, I still find it difficult to resist the temptation and want to give it a try. If I win, I gain a lot of goodies.'

However, the next second, he looked at the color of his fur and felt sad. How come he met a black cat by chance? If a white cat had been killed at that time, maybe he would be a lucky white cat now instead of being a bad luck black cat.

This further shows that...in the ninja world, origin is very important! Forcibly suppressing the inner demon that tempted him to commit crimes, he sped up and rushed to Academy quickly, the forehead protector tied around his neck flickering.

In fact, Takeshi didn't like this thing. When wearing it to "sneak" at night, there would be a flaw in the iron plate.

But when he really wants to hide it, he can put it in the inventory, which actually doesn't hinder him too much.

"Close combat is a very important ability for our ninjas. Any ninja must master it. Today our lesson is how to use kunai in close combat..." The teacher's voice came from the classroom.

Takeshi landed lightly at the back door and looked up, but did not see Anko. He froze for a moment and slipped in through the crack in the door.

Looking forward, he saw that the little girl was sitting in the first row.

She was sitting upright in the first row and listening very seriously. She didn't look like she was just dawdling around like before. This is enlightening.

The little black cat understood the reason, because Anko's father died, and she might want revenge or Orochimaru told her something.

Basically, she seemed determined to work hard and not be a weakling. 'I just don't know how many days this ferocious determination can last.'

But Anko couldn't play with him today. He didn't want to go to the front row to suffer, so he looked around and didn't find anyone interesting.

He was about to turn around and leave when he suddenly saw a familiar face. A streak on the bridge of the nose, Umino Iruka! He was sitting in the fourth row from the bottom.

Although he was closer to the front, at least if he was careful, he could approach quietly, observe, and harass.

However, he forgot that the points he gained from bullying in the forest these past few days were beyond what these little brats could compare with.

After getting close and teasing him, Iruka almost jumped from his position, and he only earned a few dozen points. .

Iruka is indeed not a genius. His talent was mediocre, and his performance in Academy was not very good, but he studied very hard, and his personality was gentle and kind. Even if he was frightened by a cat, he didn't say anything to him.

After moving around for a while, he was called up to answer a question, and then he looked down at the black cat.

He accidentally saw the ninja forehead protector attached, and he couldn't help but feel envious. He didn't even have a ninja forehead protector, but this kitten, who was only seven or eight months old, already had one.

So envious! Iruka's hands were a bit tempted, and he wanted to take off the forehead protector and put it on himself to see, but he was afraid of offending the ninja cat, so he could only look at it with envy and concentration.
