Chapter 17: The Cat and the Cat (2)
The observation was only a matter of a moment, and he suddenly turned his head, and his eyes were as red as blood, as beautiful as red crystals.
"Teacher Cheng, why did you suddenly use illusions?"
"Huh......"
Red's questioning voice and a soft sigh rang out at the same time, and Red instantly flashed behind his teammates, assuming a defensive posture.
The two teammates, who were just acting as covers, fell into the illusion motionlessly.
"Hush."
Pouting, Red retracted his posture as if he had given up resistance.
The white cat asked curiously, "Little girl, your illusion ability is stronger than expected, but why don't you try to dispel the illusion in your teammates?" ”
Red stood up straight, his hands drooped, and said indifferently: "It's true that my illusion ability is very strong, but Mr. Cheng is next to him, since he hasn't reacted, it means that it's not time for me to behave." ”
The white cat looked at Makoto and seemed to ask, "Why is this kid like this?" ”
Makoto glanced at it, not very happy that it met and greeted it with illusion.
Although Makoto's agreement with the ninja cats in Yuyun Village is to keep in touch secretly, in their opinion, everyone in this room except Makoto is within the scope of secrecy.
"Ahem, Red, you're here looking at Asma and Kai, I have a little bit of something, don't worry, it's safe here."
Red rolled her pretty eyes, waved her hand and drove away, "I know, anyway, Teacher Cheng is the kind of person who will casually leave his students alone." ”
This tone ...... Is it puberty......
Makoto wisely ignored the deep resentment in the student's words, and turned his gaze away, "Okay, Hakujiro, lead the way." ”
The white cat was dumbfounded, jumped over and stood in front of Cheng with his claws bowed, his paws sealed.
Bang, the white mist lifted, and one person and one cat disappeared.
Red wrinkled his nose, gestured to the place where Chong Cheng had disappeared, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "Teacher Cheng Cheng, it's not 'that good' and it's over!" Leave us alone for two whole years, you wait for us! ”
Yuyun Village.
Located in the middle of the mountainside of the quaint village, the altitude is just right, and is surrounded by high mountains on all sides, the cold air flow is intercepted, the unique geographical conditions make the climate here all year round like spring, and there are sudden hot spring eyes among the mountains and rocks, forming a steaming hot spring pool, from a distance, as if swirling in the clouds, it is named after.
Following behind the white cat, Makoto in red has become an outlier here, and the buildings on the street are not the kind of small houses suitable for cats as Cheng imagined, but are still the same size as the outside world, just enjoying them on the street, drinking tea in the window, not a single human being, all cats with various colors of fur, except for this, the entire Yuyun Village is no different from a human village.
These cats ...... Cheng thought something strange in his heart.
"It's here, please go up." Behind an unknown torii is a stone path that winds to the top of the mountain, and the white cat Shirajiro salutes Makoto, indicating that he can only send it here.
Makoto nodded and walked up the stairs alone.
Since there is no master to supervise, Na Cheng will inevitably do some things under the melon field and plums, he raised his hand, as if tired of looking at the scenery and relieving the fatigue of his right eye, gently massaging his eyelids with his fingertips.
Under the cover of his fingers, he quietly opened the kaleidoscope of his right eye.
With a sincere heart, he couldn't help but gasp for the picture presented by Gao Tianyuan.
Hundreds of cat-shaped light clusters are distributed on both sides of the stone steps, sitting or lying, all the way to the top of the mountain, and at the end of the mountain road stairs, a unique light cluster of various colors is motionless, seemingly waiting for Makoto's arrival.
If Cheng is not bad, with the mountain gate archway just now, halfway up the mountainside, there are ordinary ninja cats, and above the mountainside, there should be all immortal cultivators of the Jieyun cat clan!
Even if they are immortal cultivators, but similar to Jiraiya and Naruto's immortal mode, psychic cats should not be able to always maintain the state of using immortal arts, so Makoto's Takamagahara-swept over, most of the ninja cat immortals are in an ordinary chakra state, but there are a few, just in the immortal mode, the kind of combination with natural energy, so the feeling of natural tranquility and changeable with the environment, is exactly the same as the feeling of Makoto when he cultivated the immortal mode in the water gate.
Although the number is not exaggerated, and Makoto also knows that due to the innate limitations, the immortal cultivators of psychic beasts cannot be compared to human immortal cultivators at all, but in terms of the number that Makoto has seen, the strength shown by this Jieyun Village, which has shown vague ambitions for human society, is enough to easily wipe out a small country in the ninja world!
According to the growth rate of Naruto's little toad friend in the original work, the growth period of the psychic beast clan is much shorter than that of humans, and the existence of the big toad immortals proves that their upper limit of lifespan is higher than that of humans.
In addition, when Naruto was cultivating immortal arts, there were a large number of stone statues of toads that died of petrification due to cultivation failures, indicating that these aliens were not lacking in the self-motivation to sacrifice their lives and forget about death.
So, what is the reason why these races that grow extremely fast, have a high upper life limit, and are not lacking in self-motivation can only hide in the psychic world and secretly spy on the ninja continent?
Is it because the resource conditions of the psychic world are superior to those of the ninja world?
Cheng secretly sneered, if this is the case, the Great Toad Immortal and the Cloud Cat Immortal will not have to do everything possible to interfere in the affairs of the ninja.
In Cheng's estimation, although the strength of the Yuyun Ninja Cat is stronger than many small ninja villages, it is still not as strong as the powerful medium-sized ninja village of Yunin, and it is far from the five major ninja villages in the ninja world.
Moreover, the hostility shown by the Toad and the Snake shows that these psychic beast clans are not united with each other, which may be the reason why they are unable to occupy a place in the ninja continent dominated by humans. It's just that this entangled force is enough to shake the situation in the ninja world, and it still makes Makoto secretly increase his vigilance.
Wandering in the mist, Makoto climbed the stairs among the cold clouds, and finally reached the end of the stone staircase, where a tall and quaint stone torii spanned overhead, and the delicate bamboo house, which was a little narrow in comparison, was in the cold wood forest behind the torii.
"Is it sincerity? Please come in. ”
A soft voice of déjà vu said, Makoto paused in front of the house, and then pushed the door and walked in.
The furnishings in the house are very simple, and a white cat that is not much different from the size of other ninja cats squatting on a futon.
Unlike the white coat of the white cat Hakujiro, the hair on this cat's body is like the pale hair of a human old man, but it has faded its original color and shows a kind of decayed paleness, even the slightly drooping beard on its face is this pale.
But its pair of eyes are pitch black, and the pupils are elongated and thinned during the day, but they are full of vitality.
