Naruto: Paws and Whiskers

"Are you waving to me?" Yuhi Kurenai was momentarily stunned, then couldn't believe it. She felt the cat seemed to know she'd just mentioned him. 

"Meow~" Takeshi jumped over as Kurenai as caught and hugged him. Asuma's eyes widened. Though everyone has heart aches from time to time, thanks to being hokage's son , Asuma seemed to have developed certain inclinations at his age, and fell in love with Kurenai early on. He was quite passionate, he was also quite timid. 

So Asuma saw Takeshi rubbing against Kurenai in her arms, he could only feel envious and unknowingly contributed some points to Takeshi. 

'I'll take possession of your wife and earn your points. What can you do with me?' Takeshi thought of this and rubbed against Kurenai again blatantly. 

Of course, Asuma doesn't regard the cat as a love rival, but the hatred is certain. After all, this damn black cat has tricked him couple of times, and there is more than a little hatred between one child and one cat. 

"Don't underestimate him, he's probably a ninja cat...well, a natural one." Inuzuka Hana pressed the ninja dog on her shoulder. He felt threatened, so he was a little uneasy and ready to run away - this state was different from how he behaved in class. 

Hana felt the situation was abit strange but didn't think much about it. She just thought that the cat was far away before, so he didn't stimulate her ninja dog's senses. Her ninja dog's reaction made her sure that the kitten was a ninja cat. 

"Ninja... Ninja cat?" Obito stared at the little black cat with wide eyes and surprise. Cats and dogs are not uncommon, but ninja cats and ninja dogs are rare. 

"We don't have any natural ninja cats in Konoha. He must have escaped from somewhere." Hana said. She has a basis for saying this. 

First of all, As Konoha is quite powerful, and wild ninja beasts will avoid it on their own. Secondly... Which cat doesn't care about being threatened by a ninja dog? 

Obito thought of something after hearing this, and suddenly exclaimed: "Did he come from there?" As an Uchiha clansmen, he knew that the Neko granny that Uchiha knew that had many ninja cats. Could it be that this little black cat came from there? 

"Obito, do you know his origin?" 

"Poor cat, it's so small..." The girls' sympathy exploded. Cuteness do not differentiate between men and women. Even Anko Mitarashi, who had originally planned to find an opportunity to retaliate against Takeshi, was wiping tears at this moment, sympathizing with his "tragic experience" and had long forgotten about the two dango balls taken away from her. 

She even wanted to treat the kitten to a meal. But she didn't know whether cats couldn't eat sweet food, so Takeshi wasn't really interested in dangos, he didn't fully consume the dangos he took. So from Anko's point of view, this cat is simply evil. 

"I'm not sure, I just know that there are many ninja cats in this place." Obito blushed. It was the first time that he was surrounded by so many girls, and the sad thing was... they were all focusing on a cat. A half-year-old kitten who blocked his path today and made him late. He didn't know why, but he felt sad in his heart. 

Kurenai likes cats very much, and she couldn't resist letting go of holding Takeshi. She can't wait to take him home - it can be seen that she is not like this because Takeshi is a ninja cat. She genuinely likes cats. 

It's a pity that she has a strict father at home. No matter how much she likes him, she can only hug and pet him here. If she takes him home, she is afraid that Takeshi will be controlled by genjutsu and run away from home the next day. 

Asuma realizing this and didn't look to bother the kitten anymore. He clearly realized that he had made a big mistake today - how could a human be better than a cat? No matter how mischievous the cat is, in the eyes of the girl, it is just naughty. 

He is different. Asuma couldn't help but feel depressed when he thought of this, and finally left sadly. 

Takeshi didn't feel guilty, but felt that he should be quite meritorious for saving a boy who fell in love early. Another thing one is. If Yuhi works harder and trains herself when she is young, she might be able to go further in the future... I am such a good person! 

He thought narcissistically. But now, he is facing another crisis. Takeshi stared at Obito, knowing what this guy was talking about. 

For generations, the Uchiha family has been friends with a person named Granny Neko, who had signed a contract with a group of ninja cats. The most powerful of the ninja cats is a two-tailed cat called Nekomata. It may not be comparable to powerful ninjas, but it can crush Chunin level enemies. 

After thinking about it, Takeshi didn't worry about it. Cats are very territorial creatures. if I went there by myself, forget bullying, and I would probably get beaten up by a group of ninja cats if I even pulled a small prank. 

Something must be done! He must get stronger! His front paws uneasily grasped Kurenai's hand, while avoiding the sharp tips of his claws from scratching the little girl. 

"You're right, well, you can ask me." Hana knew some inside information, but she couldn't be too specific in front of so many people, so she nodded and comforted her pet dog, and said apologetically, "Haimaru is a little uncomfortable with the ninja cat at the moment. I'm leaving now. If you have any questions, you can ask me in class tomorrow." 

"Thank you." Nohara Rin bowed respectfully. Hana is slightly older than them, and she is a famous talented girl in the Inuzuka clan. She usually helps everyone in the class a lot, and everyone respects her. 

"Yeah." Hana nodded slightly, then carried Haimaru and left. 

"Let's leave the Academy first." Rin suggested. 

"This... okay, um, Anko, please hold the cat for me. My father doesn't agree with me raising a cat." Kurenai reluctantly handed over the black cat that had been grabbing her hand. 

"Only the clan knows that place. I'll ask later, if..." Obito was about to say, but the little black cat jumped out of Rin's arms and slapped him on the head. 

Of course Takeshi didn't use too much force to avoid hurting him. However, this scene looked a bit funny, and he also expressed his dissatisfaction at the right time. 

"What are you doing?" Obito covered his head, quite hurt. Even though he was so eager to help, why didn't this black cat appreciate it and went to hit him? It didn't make sense. 

Before he could get angry, the black cat jumped back into Rin's arms. Many girls looked a weirded out. While this cat was cute, but it was just a little bully, a bit uncontrollable. 

Only Rin said thoughtfully: "Could it be that he doesn't agree with what you said?" 

"Ah~" Obito was at a loss. Could it be that his guess was wrong? 

"Maybe it's true. Look at him..."Anko pointed at the little black cat. After Rin said that, the little black cat rubbed his head against Rin's chin affectionately, seeming to agree with her.

"So, he didn't come from the place you mentioned Obito. He might really be a wild and natural ninja cat." Kurenai couldn't help but feel happy. 

If the little black cat really came from the place Obito said, maybe he would be sent back and he would never be seen again. 

'This is better, at least I have a chance to see him again and play with him. Perfect!' Thinking of this, she became even more reluctant to let Obito take Takeshi away. 

"It's... it's possible." Obito is not sure either. He usually has no contact with things related to Neko Granny nor Cat fortress in the clan, so he doesn't know much about them. Most of his thoughts are just his own guesses... 

"But, who can raise him? And if you want to raise a ninja cat, you should report it to the village, right?" A girl whispered. 

"It's really not feasible to register and let's test him first and then decide who will raise this kitten... My family can do it too."
