Naruto: Paws and Whiskers

Rin is from common civilian family. Her father is only a chunin, and her family is not well-off. It they cannot be called poor. But raising a cat, especially a ninja cat... would be somewhat difficult. But she is so kind.

She really couldn't bear the thought of such a kitten wandering outside, but since he was a ninja cat, Rin felt that her father should be accommodating.

She is very gentle and kind despite her age, and she chooses to raise Takeshi without any selfishness. When she thinks of that his status as a Ninja cat it would be persuading enough to allow her father to accept the costs of raising a new member of family. 

"I'll ask my father to help me." Anko said. 

"My father..." Kurenai opened her mouth, hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, "He should be nearby, I'll go find him." 

"Kurenai, are you sure it'll be okay?" Rin knew what her father's temperament was. Rin wasn't willing to trouble Kurenai.

But Kurenai was determined. Before Rin could speak further, she had already left the Academy. A group of children went out from the Academy gate, and soon saw a tall man opposite the main gate, touching Kurenai's hair, and then looked over here.

After saying few words to her, he brought Kurenai over. His expression is serious. Everyone held their breath and payed attention, including Takeshi who didn't dare to move much - he was worthy of being a Konoha jonin who commands chunin and genin, and his presence and authority aura is quite strong.

"That's it?" Jonin Yuhi looked at the little black cat with red eyes. 

As a Jonin who is good at genjutsu, his perception is quite enhanced. He stared at Takeshi with a fierce look in his eyes, and at the same time slowly stretched out his hand. 

Takeshi's eyes were staring at his hands unconsciously, while his mind was focused on one thought. 'How many points can I earn by engaging in bullying of Jonin?' The idea is bold.

There would be no need to worry about points, as, Kurenai likes me, and he shouldn't get too angry at him right ?

'I feel like I can take a risk!' Takeshi wanted to give his bold idea a try, but deep down he was still a little afraid of Jonin. To risk or not to risk? After deciding, his claw struck out quickly.

A claw attack used with chakra is fast, piercing and dangerous, perfectly demonstrating this cat's ability to use chakra, and ordinary ninjas wouldn't be able avoid it at all. Jonin Yuhi had sensed it in advance and immediately withdrew his hand to avoid the attack. 

'Does this count as bullying a Jonin?' Takeshi was panicking as he didn't get any points for his risk. And he might instead get punished for this. 

That would be a big loss. Also, you may not believe it, but the claws actually moved by themselves, ' I'm being Honest!.' 

"Father..." Kurenai was a little nervous, fearing what her father would do to the little black cat, and Rin even hugged Takeshi tightly, obviously having the same worries. 

"It's quite wild, but it's indeed a ninja cat. Training it up will really help." Jonin Yuhi didn't pay attention to the attack. He had just wanted to provoke the cat to take action, so as to observe Takeshi's strength and behaviour. 

As shown this cat is indeed a bit wild, but it is within the range that children can still be safe around. This residual wildness makes the little cat have a strong sense of fighting, and his fighting power will definitely be strong when he grows up. 

"That's great, thank you, Yuhi-sama." Rin jumped for joy. With the jounin confirming, Takeshi will definitely pass the inspection procedures in the village - ordinary cats and dogs do not need to be registered, only ninja dogs and ninja cats need to be registered, because these ninja beasts have certain destructive power, and it is very dangerous to keep them in captivity without authorization. 

Since Takeshi is a ninja cat, he must undergo inspection and registration. The small test that Jonin Yuhi just performed is part of testing the ninja beast. 

"It's alright, I didn't mind it. By the way, do you want to raise this cat?" 

"Yes, yes." Rin nodded. In fact, in her mind, Kurenai is the most suitable person to raise little Takeshi. Her family is wealthy, so little Takeshi will not suffer hardship if he follows Kurenai. But all the classmates knew that Jonin Yuhi would most likely not agree. 

"The ninja beast may be different from ordinary domestic pets, so I suggest you ask the Inuzuka clan for advice. If nothing happens, it may be a good companion for you in the future." 

"Thank you." Rin bowed in thanks while holding Takeshi... Jonin Yuhi smiled, then touched his daughter's head and left with Kurenai. 

"Rin, My Grand-Mother, She dried a lot of dried fish. I will ask for some... This is what I promised this little black cat before. I will bring it to you tomorrow." Obito ran away immediately after saying that... 'With dried fish, the kitten will be less of a burden to Rin's family, right?' Obito thought to himself. 

"This... thank you Obito-kun." Rin was stunned for a moment. Then she saw that Obito had run away, so she could only thank him from a distance. 

"Hey Rin, let's..." 

"You guys go back first. I have to take him to register. By the way, Kasumi, can you help me tell my family?" Rin was a little worried. 'Will my family agree? Forget it, let's register first. I can't let him continue to live on the streets.' She thought to herself. 

"No problem." Kasumi is Rin's neighbor. Children from civilian families like them are roam and explore the village more. So they don't usually need parental guidance for traveling to and from Academy.

'I'm going to register the Ninja Cat today, so I'll probably be living with Rin.' Takeshi felt a little apologetic. 'If I had known about this earlier I would have been kinder to Haimaru, I wouldn't have put so much pressure on the little girl.'

But after looking at the panel, he suddenly felt better. The missed attack just now actually brought a lot of points. In addition to his own more than 200 points, for taking the risk of provoking such powerful enemy, he gained an additional 300 points. Overall, he gained more than 500 points. 

Five meals of special cat food are secured now. Including the points he got from various girls in the Academy, Takeshi now has more than 800 points, most of which belong to Jonin Yuhi, but Asuma and Obito also contributed a lot.

'With this system. As long as I work hard, I will be self-sufficient and not cause too much trouble to Rin's family.'

Rin carried Takeshi and walked towards the Hokage Building. Takeshi observed the houses and buildings on both sides of the road. Konoha is really big.

A child like Rin, who was not considered a genin, had to walk for a long time from the ninja Academy to the Hokage building. After awhile of walking, she took Takeshi to the bottom of the Hokage building.

There was no need to meet the Third Hokage for this matter. With Jonin Yuhi's confirmation, she just had to go through the process. It didn't take long for Rin return out with Takeshi. 

At this time, a nameplate hung on its neck: Takeshi (on front) Nohara Rin (on back). Originally, Rin wanted to name him Kuro because of his black fur, but Takeshi ruthlessly refused.

The ninjas in Hokage building also knew that some ninja beasts had considerable wisdom and knew how to name themselves, so they handled it out skillfully. A set of dictionaries. The name "Takeshi" was found character by character in the dictionary. 

They spent a lot of time on this. On the way, Rin hugged him and whispered to herself: "Maybe you can save me in the future, Takeshi-chan!" She was very happy. In the little girl's heart, Takeshi is no longer just a cat, but a smart and trustworthy little friend.
