Two cats in kimonos are prostrate on the ground, one with a blue kimono and the other with a pink kimono.

The blue kimono has a black character for shinobu tattooed on its head, and the pink kimono has a character for shini tattooed on its head.

"Talking cats?"

Itachi looked at the two cats curiously, the talking dog had seen it a few times, but the talking cat had never been seen in Konoha Village.

"They're ninja cats, electric fire, and chicks." Fugaku introduced.

"Long time no see, this is..."

The male ninja cat named Denki Fire spoke, squinting at Itachi and asked.

"This is my son, Itachi Uchiha, and I'll bring him to buy some ninja equipment."

"Did you bring a souvenir? Meow~" asked another ninja cat named Hina.

Fu Yue took out a bottle from his arms, "This is a bottled Mu Tianzhi." ”

Hina jumped up and snatched the bottle from Fugaku's hand.

"Thank you for your attention, come with us, I'll take you to find the cat mother-in-law."

"Meow~"

...

Led by two ninja cats, Fugaku and Itachi arrive in a brightly lit room.

In the middle of the room there was a huge red carpet on which sat a white-haired old lady in a loose orange dress.

Her hair is oddly arranged in a circular arrangement, and she wears a cat-ear headband on her head.

And beside her, there were more than a dozen cats of different colors and breeds, and these cats obediently leaned against the old lady and his side, looking at the two outsiders, Fugaku and Itachi.

"Greetings for a long time, Granny Cat."

Seeing this strange old lady smoking a pipe, Fugaku, who was the head of the Uchiha patriarch, bowed slightly, and Itachi bowed in the same way.

"Hmm." Granny Cat nodded and looked at the weasel next to her, "This is your son?" ”

"Yes, my eldest son, Itachi Uchiha."

"So, you still have a young son?"

"Yes, the youngest son's name is Sasuke Uchiha, and he is only one year old this year, so he will inevitably come here to buy ninja equipment in the future."

"Hmm."

Granny Cat nodded and said, "Just let Dianhuo and Hina accompany you to the warehouse to pick a look, it's inconvenient for me to move here." ”

As she spoke, Granny Cat removed her wide sleeves, and under her laps slung a little girl about Sasuke's age.

"My granddaughter, Ring, and your youngest son are supposed to be the same year."

"I see." Fuyue turned to Itachi and said, "You just stay here first, and I'll go and choose a forbearance for you." ”

Led by Denko and Hina, Fugaku left the room and went deeper into the passage, leaving only Itachi alone.

At this time, an orange cat curiously walked up to the ferret's feet, and after circling the ferret twice, it rested its head on the ferret's calf affectionately.

"Looks like it likes you." Granny Cat chuckled softly.

After a while, several more cats ran to Weasel's feet and rubbed affectionately.

"Looks like they like you."

"As long as you are kind to one of them, then they will be close to you."

"That's the emotion of a cat."

"But I'm just standing here and doing nothing." Itachi wondered.

Granny Cat smiled and said, "Cats are particularly inspired animals, they carry the souls of ancient gods, and can penetrate people's appearances and distinguish between good and bad people. ”

"If you're a good person, you can get their closeness even if you don't do anything."

"If you're a bad person, they won't get close to you, even if you serve them food."

"But never turn your back on their emotions in any case, or they will bring you the most cruel punishment."

"Don't believe these weak four-legged beasts can bring punishment, do you?"

"I'll tell you a story, an old story."

The cat mother-in-law moved her body slightly without affecting her granddaughter's sleep, and slowly told the story.

"Once upon a time, there was a city called Usa, and the inhabitants of that city had always obeyed a strict law."

"You can't kill any cats."

"As for how this decree came about, we have to start from a much longer time."

"Before this decree was issued, on the outskirts of the city of Usa lived a withdrawn old tenant farmer couple."

"The couple hated it when cats made noises in the middle of the night, especially when they walked on the sand in the yard and made 'rustle' sounds."

"In the beginning, the couple simply hated cats moving around their territory, and whenever they saw a resident cat coming to their door, they would angrily wave a broom to drive it away."

"But on a dark and windy night in the moon, they strangled the first cat."

"With their hands on their slender throats, they found a morbid pleasure in the cat's dying howl."

"It's an unprecedented thrill through the torture of cats, and they're so immersed in it that they can't help themselves."

"So, instead of just chasing away the cats that had invaded their territory, they put their hands on the necks of these quadrupeds."

"Gradually, the couple's morbid ideas became more difficult to satisfy, and they even began to set traps around their homes to trap cats, lure them to step on them, and then kill them in various ways when they brought them home."

"Over time, the inhabitants of Usa, who had lost their cats, found that their cats had disappeared one by one, while the old tenant farmer and his wife's house heard the howl of cats from time to time."

"This couple is the murderer of the cat."

"But whenever these simple, cowardly inhabitants came to the hut in the woods to ask for an explanation, the owner of the cat cowered at the sight of the small animal fur wrap on the railing of the hut and the strange expressions on the faces of the old tenant farmer and his wife."

"So the matter has been put on hold, although the residents of Usa City hate this couple of tenant farmers who take pleasure in killing cats, but they are even more afraid of the tenant farmers themselves, so they can only take care of their cats so as not to be poisoned."

"Until one day, a strange team of wanderers entered the city of Usa."

"They came in from the south side of the city in huge caravans, which were printed with huge cat-headed figures, eagle-headed figures, lion-headed statues, and so on."

"They have strange looks, dark skin and hair, and speak a raw language."

"The panic caused by these strange strangers didn't last long, as they soon set up stalls in the city, did some serious business, mingled with the residents, and exchanged the silver coins they earned for some crystal clear colored beads."

As she spoke, the cat paused slightly and looked around.

Itachi also jumped out of the story for a moment and looked around.

At the side of the cat mother-in-law and Itachi, there were originally only a dozen cats around.

But somewhere in the story, there were suddenly more than a dozen cats in the room.

Now, more than 30 cats are sitting around Granny Cat, looking at Granny Cat with their heads held high, as if they are also looking forward to the follow-up of the story.
