Hey guys thx for reading this far, I really need some power stones even 1 is appreciated.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The tall and strong man hugged a kitten, which made for an unusual sight. His face looked fierce as he reached out and grabbed the little girl's arm. "Don't even think about running away this time, Inuzuka Hana!"

"But I obviously saved its life!" The little girl argued, struggling to break free, but the difference in strength between them was far too great.

"Didn't you tell me you could heal it completely? I let you heal it!"

Inuzuka Hana grew anxious and stood on tiptoe to gesture the height. "It fell from such a high place, and it's not a ninja cat—it's bound to have some lasting injuries…"

"…Don't run! Pay up!"

"During the last checkup, I already did you and Mag a favor, and I gave you 50,000 taels! That was all my money…" The little girl choked up, refusing to let the tears fall.

"How is that enough to make up for it?! Mag is my life!"

Uchiha Itachi and the crow in his arms tilted their heads at the same time, and suddenly, everything became clear…

A little veterinarian, unfamiliar with the ways of the world, saved a cat's life. But the cat's owner was scammed by her… and even paid her 50,000 taels. No matter how you looked at it, it was a huge deal!

"Gah? Gah!"

Since the cat is his life… why not send both the cat and its owner away together? Kill them and help others!

Uchiha Itachi's face darkened. "Beiyuan…"

That little veterinarian was a kind person… and she seemed to have strong medical skills. She needed to be kept around to help heal Beiyuan!

"Let go of her!" Uchiha Itachi stepped forward and grabbed the big man's arm. "She did the right thing. Don't take someone's kindness and turn it into trouble…"

"What are you doing, brat?"

"Gah!" Beiyuan urged from the air. He was exhausted today and didn't want to fly…

At this point, there were only two options: fight or stop preaching. Seriously, are all ninjas Nagato now? Besides, with your level, you'll only be able to trick that brat Sasuke in the future…

Uchiha Itachi looked at the big man, still full of anger, sighed internally, then kicked him in the face—sending both the man and the cat flying!

The onlookers saw the fight break out. Some applauded, while others, following the rules, called the Konoha Police Force…

"Why is there another fight…" The police force arrived, looking tired of these constant incidents. But upon observing the scene, they suddenly smiled in admiration. "As expected of the captain's son!"

"…"

After a brief silence, Uchiha Itachi explained, "He was trying to extort money from a little girl, and I happened to pass by…"

"Oh, I get it! Let's lock him up!" Before Itachi could even finish speaking, the police force swiftly carried the big man away.

Clearly, they were capable of handling cases fairly. Yet, the way they carried themselves showed blatant favoritism… No wonder the police force was unpopular in the village.

"Thank you! This guy is always chasing me… He's hard to deal with!" Inuzuka Hana ran over to express her gratitude. Then, looking at Beiyuan, who had flown into Uchiha Itachi's arms, she asked curiously, "This crow is so fierce… How can it kill people?"

"It's just a joke…" Uchiha Itachi patted the crow's wings as an explanation. Then, looking at the little girl in surprise, he asked, "Wait… You can understand Beiyuan?"

Inuzuka Hana covered her lips and chuckled, squinting her eyes as she waved her hand. "Because I'm a veterinarian… Hehe… Good thing that syringe wasn't broken…"

"Gah!"

Beiyuan immediately took off into the sky—she was a little lunatic! He couldn't listen to her!

Uchiha Itachi sighed and declared, "Beiyuan, she's a good person…"

"Ah, your crow is really interesting!"

"He's my first friend… Never mind, it looks like he doesn't want injections. Is there another way?" Uchiha Itachi looked at the little girl expectantly.

Inuzuka Hana, surprisingly knowledgeable about psychological treatment, suggested, "Then try to do something that makes him happy. That might ease his mood."

Beiyuan quickly landed on Itachi's shoulder, looked at the little girl, and nodded. "Gah!"

You're a good person…

"Thank you for the compliment." Inuzuka Hana understood what he meant and respectfully returned the gesture. She truly respected animals.

Ichiraku Ramen.

"This is amazing! A crow that actually likes ramen!"

"Haha, Brother Itachi's crow is a regular customer!" Teuchi warmly served a bowl of char siu ramen to his guests.

"Itachi? Uchiha Itachi?" Inuzuka Hana suddenly reacted and muttered, "People in the village mention you a lot!"

The young boy reached out to take the ramen and casually asked, "How often?"

Inuzuka Hana tapped her chin and nodded without thinking. "Pretty often, I think. You're really famous in the village! The genius Uchiha… a five-year-old with the Sharingan or something…"

"A lot of my playmates have also mentioned a genius who never wants to play with anyone. He's always running around with a red-eyed crow and sometimes carries a baby…"

"Anyway, it's weird."

The little girl talked a lot, giving her own judgment of Uchiha Itachi.

"Brother Itachi isn't weird…" Teuchi found the two children amusing and suddenly chimed in. "The free ramen program in our shop? That was his idea!"

Ichiraku Ramen's new initiative had become wildly popular in Konoha, helping ease the burden on struggling families and orphanages.

"Wow! Really?"

"Actually, it was Beiyuan's idea." Uchiha Itachi denied taking credit.

Inuzuka Hana attempted to smuggle Beiyuan's wings into her grasp, but the crow quickly caught on, forcing her to retract her hand. "...I'm so jealous! But our clan can only keep dogs. Last time, I secretly brought home an injured bird, and Kuromaru ran away from home… My mother and I searched everywhere for him."

"…"

Uchiha Itachi had something he really wanted to say… Raising a little brother could even make a crow run away from home… Should he say it?

"Hahaha! I heard about that! This fierce crow ran away from home once! It lost an argument and just left!"

A bold little girl suddenly jumped out, saying exactly what Uchiha Itachi had been thinking—though with a major misunderstanding.

"Did you bring home an animal too? New members always cause disputes… Sigh…" Inuzuka Hana shook her head, clearly sharing the same struggles.

"Gah!" Beiyuan, still chewing on ramen, decided it wouldn't delay his mission to slander Sasuke—that brat at home… He would leave sooner or later!

"You're still keeping it?" Hana's attention shifted again. "Itachi-kun, how did you manage that? Was the other one just too young?"

Uchiha Itachi looked at her curious expression and had to break her fantasy. "No… It's just that my younger brother Sasuke always fights with Beiyuan… Is there a way to fix that?"

"…So that's the issue!"

The little veterinarian sat up straight, thinking of her own home. "I have a little brother too, Inuzuka Kiba—he's not even half a year old yet! He and Kuromaru get along well, but sometimes he throws tantrums that annoy Kuromaru…"

Uchiha Itachi nodded, waiting for her advice. Their family had been trying to solve this problem for a long time!

Inuzuka Hana continued, "So my mom teaches him a lesson, then tells me that even in infancy, you can't slack off in educating men!"

"Gah!"

Beiyuan, still eating, nodded vigorously.

This little veterinarian had incredible medical skills… and what she said made perfect sense.
