Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: Kuro - Nohara Rin

"Rin Nohara was from a civilian family.

Her father is only a Chunin, and the family is not well-off. She can only say that it is not bad. If they have a cat, it will be a bit difficult.

But she was simply too kind.

She simply couldn't let such a small kitten wander outside all alone, since it was a ninja cat, Rin felt that her father should be able to accommodate it.

She is very considerate and kind at her age, and she chooses to raise Kuro without any ulterior motives. When she thinks about becoming a ninja, she only thinks that her future status as a shinobi will allow her father to accept paying to raise it.

"I asked your father to take a look at it," Anko said.

"My father..."

Kurenai Yuhi opened her mouth, hesitated for a while, then gritted her teeth and said, "He should be outside, I'll find him."

"Kurenai, no need, I will take him!" Nohara Rin knew what her father's financial condition was, and still was reluctant to trouble Kurenai.

But Kurenai Yuhi was very decisive right now.

Before Rin could speak, she had already left the Academy building.

A group of people left from the gate of the Academy while on the other side of the main gate, a tall man with similar hair color and eyes as Kurenai, was looking at her.

After a while, Kurenai walked over to him.

His expression is very serious.

Everyone held their breath, including Kuro, who didn't dare to breathe. As expected of Konoha, who taught Chunin and Genin, this military instructor's aura was indeed very intense.

"Is that it?" Shinku Yuhi looked at the little black cat with his red eyes.

As a Jōnin who is good at illusion, his perception is quite strong. He stared at Kuro, his eyes were a bit fierce, and he slowly extended his hand.

Kuro's eyes stared at his hand unconsciously, thinking about one thing in his mind.

How many points can you earn by pranking a Jounin?

The idea is very bold.

It feels like a breeze of adventure!

But from the bottom of his heart, Kuro was still a little afraid of Shinku.

To attack or not to attack?

While still thinking, his claws were already attacking instinctively.

Attached to the claw of Chakra, it is fast, accurate, and ruthless, perfectly showing the ability of cats to hunt, and ordinary ninjas can't escape at all.

Yuhi Shinku was an experienced Jōnin and instantly withdrew his hand to avoid the attack.

Do you count yourself as a match for a fully trained Shinobi?

Kuro was very flustered.

If he doesn't get any points by then, he will be punished for his actions instead, this would be quite the loss. 

In addition, they wouldn't believe that his little Claws were moving by themselves.

"Father..." Kurenai Yuhi was a little nervous, for fear that her father would do something to the little black cat, and Rin Nohara hugged Kuro even more. Obviously, she had the same worries in this regard.

"It's a little wild, but it's really a ninja cat. It will be a big help once properly trained." Yuhi Shinku analyzed as he didn't care about the blow.

Just now, he had the intention of provoking the cat to do something, to observe Kuro's strength and character.

Facts have proved that this cat is indeed a bit wild, but it is within the range that children can keep, and this part of the residual wildness makes the little guy have a strong sense of fighting, and his fighting power will definitely not be weak when he grows up.

"That's great, thank you Yuhi-sama." Nohara Rin was overjoyed.

With a Jounin's confirmation, Kuro will definitely be able to pass the inspection procedures of the village—

Ordinary cats and dogs do not need to be registered. The ones that need to be registered are ninja dogs and ninja cats because these ninja beasts have certain destructive powers, and it is very dangerous to keep them in captivity without authorization.

Since Kuro is a ninja cat, he must be inspected and registered for the records. The little test of Yuhi Shinku just now was a part of testing ninja beasts.

"No, it was just a little effort. By the way, is this the cat you want to keep?"

"Um, yes." Nohara Rin nodded.

In fact, in her mind, the most suitable person to raise Kuro is Kurenai Yuhi. Her family is rich, and Kuro-chan will not endure any hardship with Kurenai.

But all the classmates understand that Yuhi Shinku will most likely not agree.

"Ninja beasts may not be the same as ordinary cats and dogs, so I suggest you ask the Inuzuka clan for advice. If nothing else happens, it may be a good helper for you in the future."

"Thank you." Nohara Rin hugged Kuro and bowed her thanks.

Yuhi Shinku smiled, then patted her daughter's head and left with Kurenai.

"Rin-chan, I know an Aunty. She has dried a lot of dried fish. I'll go get some back... This is what I promised Little Black Cat, and I'll bring it to you tomorrow."

After Obito finished speaking, he ran away.

With dried fish, the cat's burden on Rin's family should be less, right?

he thought to himself.

"This... Thank you Obito-kun." Rin Nohara was stunned for a moment while holding the cat and then saw that Obito had run away, so she could only thank her from a distance.

"Na Rin, we..."

"You guys go back first. I have to take Kuro to register. By the way, Kui-chan, can you tell my family for me?" Nohara Rin was a little nervous as she asked one of her other Classmates.

Will her family even agree?

Forget it, let's register first, we can't let it continue to sleep on the streets.

She secretly said in her heart.

"No problem." Kui-chan is Nohara Rin's neighbor. Children from civilian families like them are pretty independent. They don't need to be picked up at home to go to school; they all go home by themselves.

I have to register for Ninja Cats today, so I guess I will go back later.

Kuro felt a little apologetic.

He knew earlier that he should not cause so much trouble, so that the young girl would not be under so much pressure.

But after looking at the System Screen, he immediately felt better.

The missed catch just now also brought a lot of points. In addition to its own more than 200 points, also completed the task of "provoking a strong enemy", so he received an additional reward of 300 points.

With more than 500 points, five special cat foods are affordable.

Counting the points he had obtained from various girls in the school before, Kuro already had more than 800 points, of which Shinku contributed quite a few, but Asuma and Obito also contributed a lot.

With a system in place, as long as he is diligent and self

-sufficient, he will not cause too much trouble for Rin-chan's family.

Nohara Rin walked towards the Hokage Building with Kuro in her arms. Kuro meanwhile observed the houses and buildings on both sides of the road.

Konoha is really big.

For a child like Nohara Rin, who wasn't a ninja yet, it takes a long time to walk from the ninja Academy to the Hokage building. After a long time, she took Kuro to the bottom of the Hokage building.

There is no need to see the Third Hokage in this matter. With the confirmation of Yuhi Shinku, she only needs to walk through the procedure at the service desk.

It didn't take long for Nohara Rin to lead Kuro out.

This time, there was a nameplate on its neck: Kuro - Nohara Rin.

Originally, Nohara Rin wanted to name him "Little Black", but Kuro refused ruthlessly there is no way he would be called "Little" anything, and the ninjas in Konoha also knew that some ninja beasts had a lot of wisdom and knew how to name themselves, so they moved out skillfully. a set of dictionaries.

The name "Kuro" was found out from the dictionary one by one after translating his name into Japanese.

For this, they spent quite a lot of time.

On the way, Nohara Rin hugged it and whispered to herself, "Maybe in the future, you may not be able to save me, Kuro!"

She is very happy.

In the heart of the young girl, Kuro was no longer just a cat, but a smart and reliable companion.
