Chapter 105

But the next second, Takeshi opened his the Gate of Opening.

With three swift slaps, Hizashi had three shallow claw marks on his hand.

No blood flowed out, which showed that Takeshi had controlled the force with great precision. However, the injury caused by these three cat claw marks were obvious, and He would still get this treated by a medical ninja when he returned.

Though because of this, others would know that he had been scratched by a cat. Hizashi glanced at his hands, feeling a mix of amusement and annoyance.

As the head of the branch family, how embarrassing would it be to play a cat? There would be no benefit if he won, and his reputation would be affected if he lost.

Sure enough, what Jonin Yuhi Shinku (Kurenai's daddy) had said made sense. It was true that pets such as cats and dogs shouldn't be kept, even if they were ninja beasts. Though his other advice of using Genjutsu on wife for enhanced pleasure is still something Hizashi won't be following!

"Let's go," Hizashi said nonchalantly. "The ninjas of Sunagakure have retreated, and we have to submit our captured friend here to have his mind read. Let's call it a day."

"Meow~ My merits that you had mentioned, and..." Takeshi hung onto Hizashi, reminding him of his promise.

They had barely met for an hour or so, yet Takeshi was still getting along well with him, Though Takeshi does feel abit sad about Hizashi's fate of being a tool for Hyuga Main Branch.

"I won't forget it," Hizashi said, his eyes flashing with anger. At first, he thought the cat was strong and smart, and would be a good helper.

But after a while, he had a vague feeling that there was something wrong with the cat, and the problem was huge. As on the way back to the camp, Takeshi tried to provoke or mess with Hizashi's hairstyle, clothes, etc., but Hizashi has years of experience on dealing with frustrating people, 'This is child's play compared to how some of the main branch members treat me.'

Later, Takeshi began to stare at Hizashi's eyes and the area next to the eyes. He was very curious. As every time Hizashi used the Byakugan, veins would pop up, ' So is the blood vessels of the Hyuga clan's people special?'

"..." Hizashi stared at him from corner of his eye, but even though he hadn't activated Byakugan, his eyes were almost completely white. 

It was difficult to tell for Takeshi whether Hizashi was looking at him directly or looking at something like.

But Takeshi knew that Hizashi was looking at him. He had a feeling.

Hyuga and the cat looked at each other. After a few seconds, the man saw the paw getting closer and closer to the eyes.

Hizashi tilted his head and stared at him with a warning look. Takeshi then retracted his rebellious paw that was on verge of committing a crime. ('It wasn't on purpose, my paw moved on its own, I promise!')

He regretted inviting this cat for feast in the Hyuga clan. This cat is quite mischievous, had no idea what respect is, and was incompatible with the style of their traditional clan.

Of course, if this cat was just making trouble, that wouldn't have been an issue. What issue is that this cat is still quite strong.

Even if the Hyuga clan's Jonin can subdue Takeshi, no Jonin can be so shameless as to attack a one-year-old cat. Especially from a traditional clan as Hyuga's, 'Though there is no bottom line of shamelessness for Uchiha's!'

Not to mention if the Jonin took longer than couple seconds to capture this cat he would become laughing stock of the village, and the Uchiha's will probably have to a great laugh about that.

'After returning, I'll go back and give him to Rin. That girl is his master and should be able to control this cat.' Hizashi decided in his mind, and at the same time secretly made another decision.

From now on, just like the Yuhi clan, cats and dogs are prohibited in the clan! No matter how cute they are. 'Still not budging on the Genjutsu advice though!'

'Meow? Why did the points increase? What did I just do? 'Takeshi was confused.

Although it was a good thing to earn points, the problem was that he didn't know what he had done... This was very strange.

'I obviously didn't do anything, but somehow I feel like I got blamed for something. Oh wait... I understand, his eyes!' Takeshi understood.

Regardless of the status of Hyuga main or the branch family, eyes are the most important to them. 

Thinking about it, he was really tempting to stretch out the paw to touch the skin next to the eyes just now.

'Hey, I can't stop my instinctive curiosity! Its only paws not claws. I was just going to give a pat.'

Although Hizashi had a good temperament, even his patience had its limits, so... the next second, his fingers attacked the chakra points. 

Swish Swish~

After couple hits, Takeshi felt that the chakra on his paws was sealed. Although not all of it, he was unable to infuse chakra into his limbs, and his strength and speed were greatly reduced.

"Meow~ I'm just curious, are the blood vessels and nerves on both sides of your Hyuga family's eyes particularly thick, that's why the veins burst when you use Byakugan, right?" Takeshi asked, knowing that he couldn't deal with Gentle Fist for the time being, so he had to give in, but driven by curiosity, he still couldn't help but ask this question.

"Stop messing around, we're almost at the camp," Hizashi admonished the young cat.

The Takeshi was bothering him constantly like an ADHD patient, thankfully his strength was higher than this cat. 

'How did that child endure it until now?' Hizashi felt alot of pity for the little girl from the Nohara family...

Raising a ninja cat is difficult on its own, but raising such a mischievous one is even tougher. He picked up the skin around the cat's neck, then ran back quickly with the Sanagakure ninja in one hand and Takeshi in the other.

Kakashi, Obito, and Aburame Shima returned from reconnaissance. They also got the signal that the Sunagakure ninjas had retreated, so they rushed to the camp to clean up and return to rest.

"Hizashi-senpai?" Obito was first to notice him.

Although he didn't use the Sharingan, his eyesight was good. Before Kakashi and Shima didn't see them, Obito had already seen from distance.

As they got closer, the next second, a black shadow was thrown by Hizashi with skillful force.

The Jonin of the Hyuga family are all good at taijutsu, and they can expertly control their strength. This throw won't hurt Takeshi, but will accurately reach where intended.

He was sent to Obito. Obito was confused and a little upset. The mission is already over. Why did he still need to look after this cat? In the process of thinking he didn't catch Takeshi.

After orienting himself properly, Takeshi had landed firmly on the ground. Looking angry...

Kakashi looked on coldly, praying for Obito in his heart. With Takeshi's grudge-holding personality, he will definitely remember this, and he will repay it sooner enough. 'Obito, good luck.'

"It's strange, Takeshi, is something wrong with you?" Shima knelt down and asked curiously.

"Meow?" Takeshi was a little confused at first, but then found that his treasure ninja no longer seemed afraid of him.

He had always avoided Takeshi before, but now he even dared to come over and stroke his fur. Shima kept stroking Takeshi's soft fur from his head to his tail.

While Takeshi personality was frustrating, his fur was really smooth, more comfortable than a girl's hair... Shima was getting addicted to petting this cat.

'Damn it, If my chakra wasn't blocked, would you have even dared to touch me?!' Takeshi was feeling unhappy.

It's true that the chakra of his front paws had been blocked, but the chakra of rest of his body was fine, 'Wait... I don't need hands to use jutsu's!', so... Instantly Takeshi fur grew trying to push Shima away, but it was coated with a trace of wind-attributed chakra.

This was done unknowingly by Takeshi due his anger, as Takeshi himself didn't realize it.

If it weren't for the Kikaichu's (parasites) stress response and spontaneous protection, Shima's hand would've pierced by cat's hair.

"This seems to be wind nature chakra!" Kakashi was very surprised. This cat has unlocked a new jutsu again?

'Damn it, How am I supposed to catch up, with him constantly getting stronger like this...'
