Chương 74: The Gift and Shiro
The fact is, Kakuzu died unjustly.
He had already become the strongest enemy Shintaro had ever faced in this world.
Terumi Mei and Pakura, who were once strong opponents, were not actually as strong as Kakuzu.
However, when they fought him, Shintaro didn't try his hardest for various reasons.
Kakuzu faced Shintaro, who did not hesitate to use the Limitless Technique with all his might. Additionally, Kakuzu had never seen the Limitless Technique before due to two reasons: poor information and Shintaro's temporary breakthrough with the Black Flash.
That's why an S-class rogue ninja, who had been in the ninja world for years, easily fell into the hands of Konoha rookie, Uchiha Shintaro.
Shintaro gazed at the clouds in the sky with Six Eyes beside Kakuzu's body.
After half a day, Kurenai arrived with support from the border camp.
Kakuzu's body felt cold.
The fight between the two ended too quickly, and the border fort was somewhat far from here.
Even if Kurenai rushed at full speed, the round trip would take more than half an hour.
Shintaro turned and saw Kurenai's shocked expression and all the Konoha ninjas.
"This..."
The prominent Konoha ninja opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it for a long time.
Kurenai immediately came to Shintaro's side and carefully checked him up and down, left and right, and found that Shintaro was uninjured. She then turned to look at the wide-open space and scorched ground around them that had been destroyed by Kakuzu.
"?"
Kurenai tilted her head, her confused expression very cute.
"Oh, he did this, then I killed him." Shintaro explained casually.
Kurenai clearly did not believe him, but since the other party intentionally hid it, she did not dig deeper.
Among the reinforcements that came, their leader wore a Konoha Jonin uniform. He was a middle-aged man with two red fangs on his face and a blue turban on his head.
With this appearance, one could tell he was a member of the Inuzuka Clan.
"I heard Minato say that you were a genius before. I thought you were just an ordinary genius, but I didn't expect you to have become this strong."
Shintaro looked at the ninja from the Inuzuka Clan and said humbly, "No, no, I'm not that strong."
"You killed an S-class rogue ninja and say you're not strong enough. Then you have very high standards."
The ninja shook his head and said, "By the way, my name is Inuzuka Gaku, and I am a former teammate of Minato."
"The person you killed was Kakuzu, the villain who tried to kill the First Hokage and killed all the senior officials of Takigakure to seize their secret techniques."
Gaku once again confirmed that the Kakuzu, Shintaro dealt with was no ordinary ninja.
Shintaro felt nothing but a little surprise and said, "So what he said about fighting the First Hokage was true."
Gaku smiled helplessly, squatted on the ground to confirm Kakuzu's death, then stood up and said, "Rogue ninjas of this level have a high bounty; Kakuzu should be worth more than 30 million ryo. Akio will go to Tanigakure Village to claim the reward for you."
"This is worth the reward of dozens of S-level missions. It looks like you're now a rich man."
Shintaro smiled. The so-called sense of achievement from killing famous and powerful people was not as real as money.
What's a bit funny is that when Kakuzu was passing through a hot spring town, he heard that the town was holding a banquet for Konoha's genius ninja, and then he suddenly became interested in making money by killing Shintaro.
Kakuzu's body was handed over to Gaku and the others, and Shintaro left with Kurenai.
The two did not return to Konoha directly.
"Remember when I said I would take you somewhere?" Shintaro asked on the way.
Kurenai nodded, "It has something to do with cats, right?"
"Yes, I will take you to see Granny Cat." Shintaro finally stopped lying.
Kurenai asked, "Granny Cat, is she a human or a cat?"
"Hahahaha, of course she's human." Shintaro laughed.
Kurenai punched him in embarrassment, "Don't laugh."
Although this punch landed, its damage was almost zero, but unfortunately, Kakuzu's attack did not touch Shintaro.
"Actually, this is my first time going there. Granny Cat is the intelligence source of the Uchiha Clan and has a shop that customizes ninja equipment, so basically, every member of the Uchiha Clan knows the route there." Shintaro explained.
Under his lead, the two came to a dilapidated and abandoned city in the Land of Fire and found a deep alley in the city.
The two entered. Kurenai followed him and said a little uneasily, "It looks very desolate here."
Shintaro explained, "Because this place is not meant for people to stay."
It was a voice with a strange tone coming from the front.
"I am really sorry for making you uncomfortable."
In front, a pale white cat with brown and yellow patterns squatted and opened its mouth.
"The cat talks!" Kurenai looked surprised.
Shintaro explained, "This is a ninja cat. It can not only talk but also fight."
The cat said, "My name is Ninneko, what are you here for?"
Shintaro stepped forward and took out a small bottle from his hand and handed it to the ninja cat, "I am Uchiha Shintaro from the Uchiha Clan. I came to Granny Cat to adopt a cat."
"Polygonum bottle, it seems you know a lot about it. Okay, then I will take you there."
Ninneko took the Polygonum bottle and put it in his blue clothes, then turned around, turning his head to let them follow him.
Ninneko led the two from one corner to another, and then they arrived at the shop where Granny Cat was.
Granny Cat had long gray furry hair, which looked like a gray umbrella on the back of her head. She wore black cat ears on her head and sat on a red round carpet in front of the window.
Surrounded by dozens of cats of various types, her name as Granny Cat was very fitting.
"You are Uchiha Shintaro. This is your first time coming to my place."
Shintaro and Kurenai greeted politely.
Granny Cat praised, "A talented person, and the girl is also beautiful."
Kurenai smiled shyly at the compliment.
Shintaro looked at her with a chuckle, then said to Granny Cat, "We are here to adopt a cat."
"Do you want a ninja cat or an ordinary cat?" Granny Cat asked while petting the kitten beside her.
Shintaro looked at her again, so Kurenai answered, "An ordinary cat will do."
Granny Cat then ordered Ninneko to gather the ordinary cats here.
The whole shop was almost filled with all kinds of cats, and Kurenai was fascinated.
"You can choose by yourself. Take one back and take good care of it for me."
Kurenai nodded seriously, squatting down and petting the cats below, with a surprised smile on her face.
"There are so many cats."
She touched the cats one by one and seemed to like them all.
But at this moment, her eyes lit up, and she seemed to have found a special one.
It was a white kitten that seemed to be only six or seven months old. It had snow-white fur and ruby eyes.
Kurenai picked up the kitten and stroked its soft fur, then turned to Shintaro happily.
Shintaro also looked at her gently, and their eyes met.
Kurenai said happily, "This kitten is so cute, its white hair is like yours, and its red eyes are like mine."
"It's like us..."
She was halfway through her sentence when she realized her words were a bit too bold, and she immediately swallowed the last two words.
Shintaro didn't notice and said with a smile, "Then let's take this one."
He then looked at Granny Cat.
Granny Cat nodded and let the other cats go and said, "This is a six-month-old male cat. You can take it back to Konoha and raise it well."
"Does it have a name?" Shintaro asked.
Granny Cat shook her head, so Shintaro and Kurenai decided to name it right away.
"Shiro, how about Shiro?"
The name was proposed by Kurenai, not Shintaro.
When Shintaro heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "What a nice name."
With that, the two returned to Konoha with their adopted kitten, Shiro.
