Chapter 101
'Just meeting him just got me nearly 400 points. He is worthy of being my golden goose. You are such a kind and noble guy, whenever you visit me you always bring me plenty of points as gift.' Takeshi felt happy.
This was like meeting an old best friend after years.
He initially thought it would be boring to come to the front line, but he met Gamabunta and played with him. Now... Meeting this golden goose, life couldn't be more wonderful.
But for Aburame Shima, this was really not a happy encounter.
The cat is stronger than before. The evidence is that his bugs are even more afraid of this cat.
Logically, cats are not the natural enemies of bugs because they do not feed on bugs themselves. In their eyes, bugs are just as cute toys as energetic mice.
Shima didn't know that Takeshi's eyes were staring at him more passionately with increasing intensity just because he could continue to provide valuable points, and not because Takeshi was interested in his bugs...
Takeshi didn't covet people's bodies (Aburame ninja's body are nest for their bugs), and he wasn't despicable. He had standards, he wasn't Orochimaru!
"Alright then, everyone, come with me." Shima wiped the cold sweat with his collar, and then led Rin and her team to find an empty tent.
Resources are tight on the war front, and barely few tents are actually empty.
Basically, everyone takes turns using them during shift changes to save resources and space to the greatest extent.
Therefore, Shima needs to consider how to distribute the three of them.
'One kunoichi, two nine-year-old boys... Hmm, why don't I take them to the kunoichi's tent area to stay temporarily? There should be more than enough available tents there.'
The kunoichi were a little wary of sharing tent with men, but with prepubescent children shouldn't be an issue.
Rather, this might bring out their motherly side.
However, Shima thought about it for a moment and gave up this line of thought, it was just asking for excessive troubles on his head.
Although it is possible, if something does happens, those ninja adults will definitely not have the heart to punish the three nine-year-old children, so the punishment will fall on his head.
Of course, the main reason why he felt something bad was going to happen was because of his distrust of Takeshi.
This Takeshi is quite restless and often likes to cause trouble.
'But if not kunoichi area then which side ? Hmm...'
There is a tent that is completely empty tonight. That team is all on night patrol, so they will not rest in the tent tonight... maybe this would work well!
Shima fell into deep thought and his pace gradually slowed down.
"Shima-san, do you have any spare tent or space? If there is not, we can just sleep outside. We are ninjas, and the danger outside would also be lower."
Rin's father taught her since she was a child that she should not inconvenience others.
On the other hand, Obito and Kakashi looked around, for empty tents.
There must a tent to stay over for night, because they really don't want to sleep outside.
"Meow~" Takeshi suddenly shouted towards a tent. This is Shima's tent. There is no one inside for now, because his roommates are currently out patrolling, and he is leading the way for Kakashi and the team, so there is no one here.
"Shima-san, there seems to be no one here." Obito shouted in surprise.
"Hmm... They must have gone on a mission. Will they come back at night?" Kakashi has participated in the war since he was very young, so he has similar experience in past.
"Here, hahaha, this is my tent. By the way, the tents on the side are also empty. Why not go to this tent..."
"No, meow." After Takeshi said that, he quickly rushed into the tent, inside of tent was quite spacious.
There were six sleeping bags standing upright on the side, but judging from the scent, only four of them must have been used, and the other two were new and unused.
"There are two, so one less, unlucky for you." Kakashi muttered, then looked at Obito.
Obito was stunned for a moment, looked at Rin, then at Takeshi, then turned to look at Shima and asked: "Shima-san, there are only two sleeping bags here, can I go get a new one from the neighboring tent ?"
"Go." Shima nodded his head in agreement, not knowing what to say for a moment.
If he had known this, he might as well have guided them to the neighboring tent, at least not spending night in same tent.
Now he was living in the same tent with this cat, and he felt like the bugs all over his body were stirring.
This is so difficult!
So, the three members of Minato's Team moved in with Shima.
Shima thought the cat would be very restless and might create nuisance, but actually to his surprise, the Takeshi sat quietly in the corner, making no additional movements except for looking up and down strangely, like he was reading through something.
Thanks to this, he, Kakashi and rest quickly fell asleep.
When living in a tent, everyone usually uses a sleeping bag, which is convenient, simple and easy to pack, but a cat... doesn't need a sleeping bag.
He has his own little nest - the top of the medical box that Rin modified for him.
At midnight.
Takeshi opened his eyes and carefully walked towards Shima's sleeping bag.
This night, Aburame Shima contributed at least more than 700 to him.
The contribution was beyond his expectation, but starting from sleeping, he felt something was wrong.
Why do my points keep going up even though I'm asleep?
'Generally speaking, no one should continue to think about me, and falling asleep will not contribute points-unless Shima dreams of me.
Did he really dream about me?'
Out of curiosity and a desire to learn about what was happening, he slowly walked towards Shima's sleeping bag.
After getting closer, he felt something wasn't right.
'Why are the points still rising? '
The Takeshi didn't understand.
He came so close and the Shima didn't respond.
He was obviously asleep, but the points kept rising by more than ten points... He couldn't help but pat Shima with his paw.
The next second, the entire sleeping bag shrank like an inflatable doll, and then a bunch of bugs flew out and flew out the door.
Takeshi chased them out of the house and saw the bugs flying to the trees outside - a ninja was leaning on a tree branch, seemingly sleeping, but in fact he probably wasn't asleep.
-_-||
No wonder he continued to contribute points.
'What did I do ?' Takeshi thinks that he is not evil enough to hurt his comrades, and even though he is occasionally "lively" for points, it is not to this degree, they know despite his mischievousness he doesn't have bad intention for Konoha ninjas.
"What's going on?" Kakashi sat up from his sleeping bag, holding a kunai in his hand .
The next second, Obito and Rin also sat up.
Takeshi was outside the tent, looking at his team in the tent, and then at the embarrassed Shima on the branch of the tree who was had woken up, and suddenly felt a little bit of pressure.
'It seemed like I ... woke up them up.' But, he didn't make any sound at all.
It was Shima's insect clone that woke them up.
The insect noises and chakra fluctuations might've woken them up, rather than his own almost silent footsteps.
"Meow~ It's not my fault."
'What?' Everyone was stunned for a moment, but Rin understood it the fastest and said doubtfully: "If it's not your fault, so it's Shima-san's fault?"
"Sorry, I, I couldn't sleep, so I went out for a walk. I didn't expect to wake all of you. I apologize for that, please continue sleeping and don't worry about me." Shima knew that he could no longer pretend to be asleep, so he could only come down to explain.
However, at this moment, there was a chakra fluctuation outside, and an ANBU ninja appeared and said in slightly louder voice, "The Suna ninjas have made a move. The reconnaissance team are being called for search and tracking mission."
"Yes!" The next second, all the ninjas resting in the neighboring tents came out.
Most of these ninjas are the Aburame clan and the Inuzuka clan, followed by the Hyuga clan.
They move very quickly, getting up and disappearing in the blink of an eye.
"Kakashi, Obito, Takeshi, the three of you work together to conduct reconnaissance. Rin, you are a medical ninja. You can stay here. Now... let's go." Shima's said with focused expression.
The day shift ninjas being called for this shows that the Suna ninjas are already close, and they may also be Sunagakure's ANBU ninjas who are good at sneaking and setting traps.
"Yes!"
