Entering the Forest of Death, Shūichi Hoshita and his team split up to observe the animals in the forest, searching for those with spiritual potential that could make suitable summoning beasts.
A giant python!
A massive spider!
A huge gorilla!
The Forest of Death was home to a diverse array of wild animals, each of them enormous in size.
After spending the entire morning searching, the group gathered at the agreed meeting spot around noon to share the information they had collected.
"Shūichi, I think this black gorilla would be a good choice. It's powerful, huge, and has thick skin that's tough to penetrate."
"This black wolf is also a strong contender—it's agile, has sharp claws and teeth, and is highly intelligent. It's also excellent at tracking prey, which could make it a great companion if trained properly."
"What about the spider? It's venomous and can spin large webs to trap enemies."
Kurama Sanyō was the most enthusiastic, eagerly introducing the targets he had selected.
On the other hand, Minato Namikaze and Shisui Uchiha had fewer selections, but their notes were far more detailed.
Shūichi carefully reviewed the options and finally locked his gaze on one specific target.
It was the one Shisui Uchiha had chosen.
"Shūichi, you're interested in this white tiger?" Shisui noticed where Shūichi was looking.
Shūichi nodded, "This young tiger seems like a good pick. It's just started hunting on its own after leaving its mother. Since you, Shisui, say it has spiritual potential, it must be quite exceptional."
"Plus, raising a young tiger offers more room for growth."
Minato immediately made the decision, "First impressions are very important. Let's go check out the white tiger Shisui found."
The four of them set off at once, following Shisui to the young white tiger's hunting grounds. They arrived just in time to see the cub lying on a rock, basking in the sun.
This white tiger wasn't entirely white; it had rings of black stripes across its body.
Because it was so young, it looked particularly adorable.
Shūichi took a liking to it at first sight and immediately decided, "This one's the one!"
He then used the Body Flicker Technique to appear right beside the white tiger.
Startled, the tiger cub let out a low, immature growl. It was about to get up, but Shūichi quickly placed a hand on its head, holding it down.
"Roar..."
The white tiger struggled and growled, glaring at Shūichi with a mix of fear and defiance, but its roars were more cute than threatening.
Shūichi chuckled softly, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."
He kept one hand on its head and began to gently stroke its back with the other.
The tiger soon realized it couldn't break free and eventually gave up, staring at Shūichi with wide eyes.
Indeed, it seemed quite intelligent.
Shūichi grew even more fond of it and then channeled chakra into his left hand, carefully injecting it into the tiger's body.
"Roar!"
The tiger was startled again but soon found the sensation surprisingly pleasant, even closing its eyes to enjoy it.
Seeing this, Shūichi smiled and took out a special medicine he had purchased from the Inuzuka Clan earlier.
The tiger opened its eyes, sniffing the air as it caught the scent.
"Here, eat this!"
Shūichi brought the pill to the tiger's mouth.
The tiger sniffed it cautiously but hesitated to eat it.
Seeing this, Shūichi decided to take a more forceful approach, prying open the tiger's mouth and pushing the pill inside.
"Roar..."
The tiger struggled again.
Shūichi simply held it close, letting the pill slowly dissolve in the tiger's mouth.
Huh? It actually doesn't taste bad?
The tiger stopped resisting. Shūichi released it and then stood up, "From today, I'm going to call you Shiro."
"Hunt well, and I'll come back to visit you!"
With that, Shūichi's figure vanished from the tiger's sight, leaving the confused cub to look around in search of him.
...
"Shūichi, aren't you planning to take him back?" Kurama Sanyō asked when he saw Shūichi Hoshita returning empty-handed.
Shūichi smiled, "No, he's better suited to stay here."
Minato Namikaze nodded in agreement, "This environment will help nurture his wild instincts and ferocity."
"But Shūichi, you'll need to visit him regularly. The more time he spends with you, the more he'll get used to you and even absorb some of your spiritual energy."
Shūichi nodded, "Got it!"
The three of them left the Forest of Death, and Shūichi treated everyone to a barbecue meal.
...
Back home, Shūichi spread out the scroll of ninjutsu he had received from Minato. The scroll detailed the Summoning Jutsu, including its principles, the sealing formulas, and the hand signs, along with Minato's own training experiences and insights.
Even though Shūichi had an exceptional memory, he still read through the scroll three times, carefully pondering its contents before closing it. He then began practicing the hand signs to familiarize himself with them.
Before going to bed, he focused on studying the summoning seals.
To establish a contract with a summoning beast, it was necessary to create a summoning scroll.
While it was possible to purchase such a scroll, Shūichi, who had a solid understanding of sealing techniques and curses, decided to make one himself rather than waste money on a pre-made one.
This required him to delve deeper into the summoning jutsu's seals and fully understand them.
...
The next day, which was the last day of his vacation, Shūichi headed to the Ninja Academy.
He wasn't alone—Kakashi, Shizune, Kurenai Yūhi, Asuma Sarutobi, and Rin Nohara were also there.
Today was the day of the graduation exam for Might Guy and Obito Uchiha.
Of course, this wasn't Obito's first attempt at the graduation exam.
Not long after, a dejected Obito walked out of the academy.
Shūichi and Kakashi exchanged glances, both showing a bit of helplessness.
Obito wasn't weak—his taijutsu was strong enough to hold his own against them, and his Fire Release jutsu had improved considerably.
But his clone jutsu was lacking, and he often messed up during exams.
He even had a tendency to mess up at critical moments.
Shūichi remembered that Obito had failed his last exam because of a stomachache, which caused him to botch his transformation jutsu.
"If he were a bit more serious during practice, he would've passed by now."
"And, you were almost late just now!"
Kakashi showed no mercy, delivering a sharp comment to the already downcast Obito.
Immediately, Obito's dejection turned into a burst of energy, his fists clenching in determination. "Kakashi, you… That was just an accident, and I wasn't late!"
Kakashi replied calmly, "But you didn't pass."
Obito huffed, "Next time, I'll definitely pass!"
Kakashi, unfazed, said, "You said that last time too."
Obito, clearly frustrated, snapped, "Kakashi, I challenge you to a duel!"
Kakashi was about to respond when Rin quickly stepped between them. "Kakashi!"
Kakashi turned his head away, staying silent.
Rin then hurried to pull Obito away.
Shūichi watched the whole scene with great interest.
"He's out!"
Shizune suddenly pointed out.
It was Might Guy who had come out.
Before anyone could ask how it went, Guy rushed over to embrace his father, Might Duy, and then burst into tears.
Immediately, Shūichi and the others stood awkwardly on the spot.
Watching the tears stream down their faces, Shūichi couldn't help but think to himself, "Guy and Duy have incredibly active tear ducts."
But listening to their conversation, it was clear that the news was good.
At the age of seven, Might Guy had finally graduated from the Ninja Academy!
...
December quietly slipped away, and three days before the New Year, Shūichi Hoshita officially went on holiday, pausing all missions.
However, this didn't change much for him—he was still as busy as ever.
Every day, he visited the Forest of Death, Konoha Hospital, engaged in physical training, continued refining his technique, Fiery Lotus Steps, and pondered the development of his next jutsu, which had to be at least A-rank in difficulty.
He already had four A-rank or higher jutsu: Rasengan, Blue Flame Sky Blade, Fire Release: Fiery Lotus of Buddha's Wrath and Fiery Lotus Steps. But he still needed one more A-rank jutsu to unlock the [Pioneer] Tag.
Unfortunately, his Fire Release Clone didn't meet the criteria, and neither did the Eight Trigrams Seal.
"Maybe I should try creating the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken?"
"Even if I only complete 50%, it would likely be rated S-rank."
Shūichi mused after finishing his kenjutsu practice in the snow.
However, the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken wouldn't be particularly useful to him unless it was 100% complete, even though he had mastered advanced medical ninjutsu like Yin Healing Wound Destruction.
"Perhaps I need a flash of inspiration from the [Pioneer] Tag to fully perfect the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken."
After considering this, Shūichi returned to what he was most skilled at: Fire Release.
Fiery Lotus Steps was a movement technique, Fiery Lotus of Buddha's Wrath was executed through fire clones, making it effective in close combat.
His other five Fire Release jutsu covered mid- to long-range attacks.
"But even though the temperature of my Fire Release can rival Scorch Release, my mid- to long-range offensive capability still seems somewhat lacking," Shūichi pondered. "Water and Earth Style jutsu can easily counter it."
"So, should I develop a Fire Release jutsu with strong offensive power?"
Once this thought crossed his mind, Shūichi immediately considered two existing jutsu.
The first was the Water Release: Water Severing Wave, used by the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, and by the toads of Mount Myōboku. During the battle between the reanimated First, Second, and Third Hokage, Tobirama's Water Severing Wave pierced through the Third's Earth Wall.
The second jutsu was the Sage Art: Storm Release Light Fang used by Six Paths Madara, which sliced through the black rods created from Six Paths Naruto's Truth-Seeking Orbs.
"High-Temperature Laser?"
Shūichi stroked his chin and made a decision.
Developing a Fire Release jutsu with strong offensive power would allow him to temporarily conclude his work on Fire Release jutsu, except for Fiery Lotus Steps and the Fire Release Chakra Cloak, and then shift his focus to kenjutsu and Wind Style.
"High-Temperature Laser..."
Shūichi pondered, "Actually, techniques like the Grand Fireball Jutsu start as a laser or stream of fire when first expelled from the mouth."
"For a ninja, the farther you project chakra, the harder it is to control."
"Water's fluidity makes shape transformation relatively easier, but Lightning, Wind, and Fire Release are more difficult."
"Most Fire Release jutsu are spherical, and even the Dragon Fire Technique isn't as detailed in form compared to something like the Water Dragon Bullet."
"This is closely related to the nature of the chakra."
"Moreover, maintaining a stable form after shape transformation requires additional control."
After thinking it through, Shūichi stood up and walked to the frozen riverbank.
Clap!
He clasped his hands together and, after a moment of concentration, opened his mouth and expelled a blazing white beam of fire.
However, the beam dispersed into a burst of white flames after extending only about six meters.
This was still only a medium-range attack.
He continued practicing, gradually increasing the attack's range.
This process involved constantly condensing his Fire Release chakra, requiring both strong chakra control and adeptness in shape transformation.
To prevent the fire from dispersing, a stable form had to be established.
...
Time passed, and before long, the New Year of the 41st year of Konoha arrived.
This year was different from the past; Shūichi Hoshita spent it at home with Yakushi Nono, and only visited the orphanage the next day.
On the fourth day of the New Year, Shūichi went to visit Miss Tenka.
It was his first time meeting Tenka's already-engaged older sister, who was only about sixteen or seventeen years old, not much older than Minato Namikaze. Her name was Tennai.
After having lunch at Tenka's home and being sent out, Tenka asked, "Shūichi, you've become very skilled with medical ninjutsu. Are you able to create medical ninjutsu scrolls?"
"Medical ninjutsu scrolls?" Shūichi asked, puzzled.
Tenka nodded, "Yes, for battlefield first aid."
"They're quite rare because they're not cost-effective. Medical ninjutsu often requires precise control, and scrolls are difficult to meet those requirements."
"But for first aid in the absence of medical ninjas, it's still viable, though it will waste some chakra."
Hearing this, Shūichi smiled, "Is this for Tennai's fiancé?"
Tenka poked Shūichi's forehead, "Clever!"
Shūichi patted his chest, "Since it's your request, Sis Tenka, I'll make sure to do it."
"Leave it to me!"
Tenka smiled and nodded, "I'll have someone bring blank scrolls to your home later."
"And…"
She took out a wooden box, "Here, this is a New Year's gift from me."
"You're going on a mission, so you might miss your birthday!"
Shūichi immediately accepted the box with a smile, "Then I'll take it without hesitation. Thank you!"
After saying that, he leaned in and gave Tenka a kiss on the forehead before using Body Flicker Technique to disappear.
"Little rascal!" Tenka scolded with a smile, then touched her forehead with a faint blush on her cheeks.
...
Taking advantage of the gift, Shūichi now found himself on an empty rooftop, opening the wooden box Tenka had given him.
Inside was a kunai.
"Is this made of the same material as the Tostuka Blade?" Shūichi wondered, taking it out to test. It indeed had high chakra permeability.
Holding the kunai, he suddenly had an idea.
"The High-Temperature Laser might be used with the kunai to allow the Fire Release chakra to adhere."
"But this doesn't seem very different from the Blue Flame Sky Blade."
Shūichi thought, "But I can practice with the kunai first and then gradually phase out the kunai."
With this thought in mind, Shūichi bought sake and some of Shizune's favorite snacks and went to the Senju family estate. This was a prior arrangement, so he couldn't go back on his word.
When Shizune opened the door and happily accepted the gift, she led Shūichi to Tsunade.
Upon entering, Shūichi saw Tsunade engrossed in some scrolls, with many scrolls scattered across the table and the floor.
These scrolls were clearly quite old.
Such depth of knowledge!
Shūichi sighed inwardly, then focused on the two mountains on the table.
No, it was Tsunade sitting behind the table.
"Lady Tsunade!" Shūichi greeted.
Tsunade looked up briefly before lowering her head again, slightly annoyed, "Just sit anywhere, or go play with Shizune. I don't have time to entertain you right now."
This mood seemed off!
It looked like she was facing a problem.
Shūichi glanced at Shizune, exchanged a look, and confirmed his suspicion.
He immediately walked over and sat down opposite Tsunade, saying, "Lady Tsunade, if you're facing a problem, maybe talking about it could help. I might be able to assist."
Tsunade looked up, frowning, "You won't be much help."
Shūichi shook his head, "That may not be true. While my medical ninjutsu skills might not match yours, I do have some expertise in ninjutsu development."
Tsunade rubbed her forehead and said, "It's not medical ninjutsu, but a technique for controlling chakra."
Shūichi became even more interested, "In that case, I'm more relevant. The foundation of techniques is hand signs and seals, and I'm quite skilled in that area."
The [Seal Expert] Tag also includes seals, and the basics of these are hand seals/signs that are relatively obscure and difficult for most people.
(End of Chapter)
Next: Space-Time Expert?
T/N: Of course, the author did write 'Little White' here, so I have to change it. I hope you like 'Shiro'
Also, does anyone have a good name for the High-Temperature Laser skill?

While eating snacks and watching the intense discussion between Shūichi and Tsunade, Shizune felt very happy, even though she couldn't participate in the conversation.
The discussion between Shūichi and Tsunade continued well into the night, only stopping when Shizune finished preparing dinner.
During dinner, Tsunade said, "Shizune, once school starts, apply for graduation."
Shizune was taken aback, then instinctively nodded, "Okay, Lady Tsunade."
Tsunade glanced at Shūichi before continuing, "After you graduate, start at Konoha Hospital. I'll have Yakushi Nono mentor you."
Shūichi understood and quickly added with a smile, "Don't worry, Shizune, I'll talk to the director too."
With her cheeks puffed up from the delicious food, Shizune nodded happily, "Mm!"
After dinner, Shūichi, wrapped in the scarf Shizune had given him, waved goodbye and left.
Under the streetlights, Shizune watched as Shūichi disappeared into the darkness, snowflakes swirling around him.
"He's already out of sight!" Tsunade's voice suddenly broke the silence.
Blushing, Shizune turned around to see Tsunade leaning slightly tipsy against the doorframe, holding a sake bottle.
"Lady Tsunade, it's too cold out here. Let's go back inside!" Shizune quickly stepped forward to support Tsunade.
Tsunade took another sip of sake and muttered, "That little rascal is just like Jiraiya—such a pervert!"
"That's not true, Lady Tsunade. You must have misunderstood Shūichi," Shizune softly defended.
"Hmph, that kid always stares at my chest!"
"Oh no..."
As the door closed behind them, their voices were gradually drowned out by the wind and snow.
...
Returning home through the snow, Shūichi found that Yakushi Nono had already prepared a hot soup.
After taking a sip, the chill in his body melted away, and he smiled, "Director, your cooking is getting better and better!"
Nono smiled as she gently brushed the snow off Shūichi, "As long as Shūichi likes it."
"The herbal bath is ready too, so head there after you finish your soup."
Nodding, Shūichi downed the rest of the soup, then gathered his clothes and headed to the bathroom for a bath.
When he emerged from the bathroom, he saw Nono quietly mending his clothes with a focused and tender expression that tugged at his heart.
Stepping closer, Shūichi grinned, "Director, could you help dry my hair?"
"Shūichi, you're almost eight years old now!" Nono chuckled.
Despite her words, she set aside the needle and thread.
Shūichi immediately lay down on the sofa, resting his head on Nono's lap.
With gentle care, Nono used a towel to dry and comb Shūichi's medium-length hair.
As the familiar scent surrounded him, Shūichi unknowingly drifted off to sleep, his arms wrapped around Nono's waist.
Seeing him asleep, Nono became even more tender in her actions.
She was well aware of the unique attachment Shūichi had toward her, but she also saw his relentless efforts, and her heart ached with sympathy, unable to refuse any of his requests.
"Being able to stay by Shūichi's side like this... it's good," Nono thought to herself.
...
Shūichi Hoshita woke up at 5 AM, feeling refreshed after rolling around in bed, thinking about the events of the previous night.
The world outside was covered in a blanket of snow, but that didn't stop Shūichi from heading out for his morning training.
"Shūichi, I knew you'd be here!"
In the snowy landscape, Might Guy, dressed in his iconic green outfit, stood out vividly.
The cold did nothing to dampen his enthusiasm. "Since we've run into each other, let's have a sparring match, Shūichi!"
"As you wish!" Shūichi agreed with a smile.
Training with a partner was always more effective than going at it alone. Soon enough, the two of them were leaving clear tracks in Konoha's snow-covered world.
Partway through, they encountered Kakashi, and their duo became a trio.
...
After finishing his morning training and returning home for the hearty breakfast Nono had prepared, Shūichi didn't follow his original plan to go out and train.
Instead, he headed to the study.
Last night, he had intended to complete the summoning scroll and wrap up his summoning jutsu training, but he had been derailed by Nono's kindness.
"As expected, a gentle embrace can be a hero's downfall!" he sighed to himself before activating his double concentration mode to get to work.
Time flew by, and after two hours, Shūichi deactivated his double concentration mode and let out a deep breath.
"Finally done!"
He smiled, satisfied after inspecting the seal on the scroll. Then, he walked to the window and opened it, letting the cold air clear his slightly foggy mind.
Just then, Nono entered with a bowl of bone broth. "It's fine to air out the room, but don't stand by the window!" she reminded him as she gently pulled him away to sit down.
"Thanks, Director."
Shūichi took the hot soup and drank it down in big gulps.
Glancing at the scroll, Nono asked, "Is it finished?"
"Of course."
Feeling warm and content after finishing the soup, Shūichi smiled. "I am a genius, after all."
"Amazing!"
Nono took the bowl from him, cautioning, "Even geniuses shouldn't be arrogant, Shūichi!"
"I know."
Shūichi replied earnestly, "I promised to protect you for a lifetime, didn't I?"
Nono responded with equal sincerity, "I believe in you, Shūichi!"
The two exchanged smiles.
After Nono left the study, Shūichi retrieved his Totsuka blade and placed it on a scroll inscribed with a seal.
He then formed a series of hand seals and finally pressed his hands onto the Totsuka blade.
In an instant, the seal on the scroll activated, quickly moving onto the sword, and forming the word "Totsuka" on the hilt.
With the sealing process complete, Shūichi grabbed the Totsuka blade, swung it, and stabbed it into the snow outside the window.
Next, he approached another summoning scroll, leaving his bloody handprint and chakra on it. With everything ready, Shūichi formed the hand seals again.
Summoning Jutsu!
As soon as he completed the jutsu, the Totsuka blade, which was stabbed into the snow outside, reappeared in his hand.
The summoning jutsu was a success!
Almost simultaneously, Shūichi noticed some movement in the "Tag Tree" within his mind.
Focusing his attention, he was surprised.
"Huh?"
He had expected to unlock something like the "Space-Time Expert" tag, but it turned out to be more than that.
The "Ninjutsu Master" tag had also unlocked.
"So I've already mastered 30 ninjutsu?"
Shūichi realized belatedly and started counting. Including the summoning jutsu, he had indeed mastered 30 ninjutsu.
He used to think mastering 30 jutsu was a huge task, but now, it was completed almost without him noticing.
But how many Chunin in the entire ninja world could boast of mastering this many jutsu?
It wasn't just about having the talent and time to train; resources played a crucial role too.
Back when Shūichi decided to graduate early, it was primarily for access to more jutsu resources.
Without graduating early, he would have been limited to medical ninjutsu resources—other than what Nono knew, there would have been nowhere else to learn from.
...
Tag: [Ninjutsu Master]
Condition to Obtain: Proficiently master at least 30 ninjutsu.
Effect: Any ninjutsu hand seals can be reduced to two, and ninjutsu talent is increased by 100%.
The effect of this tag is undoubtedly exceptional, as expected from a master tag.
Being able to reduce any jutsu to just two hand seals will significantly enhance the first-strike advantage.
The increase in ninjutsu talent applies to all types of ninjutsu.
Fire Release, Wind Release, Lightning Release, Water Release, Earth Release, Genjutsu, and more.
"With this, I won't have to worry about having a low aptitude for Lightning, Water, and Earth Release techniques anymore."
Shūichi Hoshita smiled.
And then there's Genjutsu. Right now, he was delving into the Darkness Technique.
After briefly savoring the thought, Shūichi shifted his attention to another leaf on the Tag Tree.
Tag: [Space-Time Envoy]
Condition to Obtain: Proficiently master at least five Space-Time Ninjutsu.
Effect: Space-Time ninjutsu talent is increased by 100%, and physique is increased by 100% (since long-distance space-time travel requires a strong body).
Reading the description on the tag leaf, Shūichi felt a bit overwhelmed.
At least five Space-Time ninjutsu!
Where was he supposed to find them?
"The Summoning Jutsu, Reverse Summoning Jutsu, Cloud Village's Heavenly Transfer Technique, the Flying Thunder God Technique—aside from the ones linked to kekkei genkai, what other ninjutsu falls under Space-Time?"
Shūichi couldn't help but scratch his head.
If it weren't for the boost to his physique, he'd be tempted to complain.
"Fortunately, both the [Ninjutsu Master] and [Konoha Genius] tags enhance all types of ninjutsu, including Space-Time. Otherwise, I wouldn't be confident about mastering the Flying Thunder God Technique."
"But the Heavenly Transfer Technique from Cloud Village will be tricky."
"Maybe I'll have to create one myself?"
After pondering for a moment, Shūichi set aside the thought, tidied up the study, and headed to the Forest of Death with the summoning scroll.
The white tiger was hibernating, but as soon as Shūichi appeared, it woke up, gave a low growl, and got up to nuzzle him.
Shūichi played with the white tiger for a while before injecting chakra into its body, helping it become more accustomed to the energy.
After feeding it some medicine, he opened the summoning scroll. While the white tiger was savoring the taste of the medicine, he quickly pricked its paw.
Blood oozed out, which Shūichi pressed onto the summoning scroll, leaving a paw print.
The white tiger didn't even have time to react before the wound was healed with medical ninjutsu, leaving it staring blankly at Shūichi.
"Hahaha..."
Shūichi laughed heartily, rubbing the white tiger's head. "Shiro, now I can feed you even when I'm on a mission."
After playing with the white tiger a bit more, Shūichi finally left.
...
Entering the Uchiha clan's compound, Shūichi curiously observed his surroundings.
The Uchiha were indeed a unique presence in Konoha, with the entire clan living in close quarters.
In contrast, even the prestigious Hyūga clan didn't live so closely together.
"Shūichi!"
A voice suddenly called out, making Shūichi stop and turn. An unfamiliar Uchiha clansman was approaching him.
After a quick glance, Shūichi suddenly remembered, "It's you!"
The person was Uchiha Yū. He walked up to Shūichi and introduced himself with a smile, "I'm Uchiha Yū. You must be here to see Shisui, right?"
Shūichi quickly greeted him, "Hello, Yū-senpai. Yes, I'm here to see Shisui."
"Let me take you to him!"
Uchiha Yū offered.
Not wanting to refuse, Shūichi quickly said, "Thank you, senpai!"
The two chatted as they walked to Uchiha Shisui's house, but Uchiha Yū soon excused himself and left.
After watching him leave, Shisui gave Shūichi a tour of his home.
It was quite large, with the layout of a mansion, completely different from the two-room apartment Shūichi lived in.
But living alone made the house seem too empty, a stark contrast to Shisui's warm and sunny personality.
Finally, the two arrived at the place where Shisui kept his crows.
Shisui had built wooden houses to serve as nests for the crows during winter.
"Look, these are specially prepared for you."
Shisui pointed to a few nests inside one of the wooden houses.
Shūichi looked inside and saw several young birds in the nests.
Shisui smiled, "But I don't recommend taking them now. The weather is too cold."
"Why not come by every day to feed them, and take them home after spring arrives?"
Shūichi agreed readily, "You're the expert, Shisui. I'll follow your advice!"
