"You may be seated."

The cat fairy said softly, and if you didn't look at its body squatting on a futon, the voice was indistinguishable from that of a kind, gentle old man. And it is this kind of indifference, coupled with its cat-shaped posture and squatting posture, that makes people feel a little numb.

Makoto bowed to it slightly, and sat down on the only futon in the room.

The two (cats) face each other, the cat fairy seemed to move a little slowly, but it was in line with its old appearance, its beard and eyelids were shrugged, and slowly spoke: "My name is Yuyun." ”

"Makoto, you know." Makoto also opened his mouth and said a meaningless nonsense.

The Jieyun Immortal's beard curled, and there was a hint of a smile in its eyes: "When was the last time I saw you?" After a nap, you've grown so amazingly. ”

It should be enough to reminisce about the past, Cheng was silent for a while, and said bluntly: "I came this time to get the ninja cat's psychic scroll according to the agreement." ”

"Psychic scrolls? I remember our agreement that Chengjun would help us develop the Fortune Chamber, and in exchange, we would provide you with the necessary assistance, and there was no content on the scroll. There wasn't much emotion, and the cat fairy spoke casually in that old tone.

"Psychic scrolls, that's the 'necessary' help."

With a flick of his tail, the cat, which was so old that he couldn't see the color of his coat, seemed to finally become a little serious: "The psychic scroll is the lifeblood of every race in the psychic world, and it took a long time for the cat clan to finally exchange for the freedom of the psychic scroll, but now Chengjun wants me to give this thing to you?" ”

"Yes, the immortal gave me the scroll of the psychic cat, so that the cat ninja and the Uchiha, and the Ninjutsu Innovation Association have the basis for continued cooperation." Although Makoto's tone is respectful, the content is categorical, and there seems to be no room for discussion.

I don't know how many years have passed, but the Yuyun Immortal suddenly heard Makoto's voice: "Cooperation? Please also speak for me. ”

"The cat ninja took too much from me - only the name and the instrument cannot be a dummy, since the cat ninja borrowed the name of the Uchiha and the association, and still wants to get out of the matter, it is too greedy."

This sentence is not a crime of sincerity, the business of the cat ninja village is prosperous, and the cat wealth chamber of commerce is certainly the main force of development, but the name and force protection provided by the Uchiha is the reason why this golden hen can isolate the prying eyes of most forces in the ninja world.

Psychic cats and cat treasurers will use the nest to lay eggs, and the pressure from the outside world is all attracted by the Uchiha clan, but they want to stay out of it, which is the reason why Makoto accuses the ninja cats of being too greedy.

If this continues, the Uchiha will be the first to attack the eye-popping cash cow of the Cat Wealth Chamber, and even if it will cause some damage, he will not be able to take care of it much.

The cat fairy groaned: "I understand what Chengjun means, but since it is cooperation, then I have a few, Chengjun agreed, and everything can be discussed." ”

"Please." Makoto sat up straight.

"First, the scroll can be given to you, but there must be a ninja cat by the side."

Just like the psychic toad scroll of Jiraiya, although it nominally belongs to Jiraiya, but the scroll has always been in the body of a toad, the scroll is too important to be lost, this is the bottom line of all psychic beasts.

"I agreed to this."

"The second one, because it is a cooperation with Chengjun, only Chengjun can write his name on it."

"It can't be." If so, who actually signed the psychic contract with whom? Cheng categorically vetoed.

"Chengjun," was refused, and the cat immortal was not in a hurry, his tone was still soft: "Jieyun Village will obey your orders and work for you, in this case, it doesn't matter how many people have signed the contract." ”

It's not that there are no humans who have signed their names on psychic scrolls, such as those bosses of the Cat Finance Chamber of Commerce, and Makoto's "father" Du Feng, why do cat immortals refuse to let go of restrictions on this point?

Cheng thought so, so he also asked.

"If it's [that kind of contract], there's no limit."

The cat fairy's eyes flashed, and he replied calmly, honestly, probably the contract made public by the ninja cats should have undergone various modifications, at least, Makoto has never seen a fighting ninja cat appear in the outside world.

"I can promise that only the people of the Uchiha can sign a contract." The association has the Toad Scroll of the Water Gate, but Jiraiya clearly refused to use it by the Uchiha clan, and the Psychic Eagle Scroll was in the hands of another faction in the family.

"Yes, but we have the right to refuse a mission that will kill us."

"Deal."

After the bargaining, the cat fairy changed back to his original weak appearance: "Is there anything else wrong with Chengjun?" ”

This is the difference between the collaborator and Jiraiya, Naruto, the chosen one, it seems, not to mention the magical spoilers such as "prophecy", I guess there is no way to ask questions related to the feline clan's immortal arts.

Makoto thought with a little regret and got up to say goodbye.

After Cheng left, the cat fairy, who had been casual and lazy, "snapped" and threw his tail behind him, his spine bulged, and he swept to the corner with a little cold and wary gaze: "Now, are you satisfied?" ”

There was nothing in the corner of the house, but a voice came: "Yuyun, you have done a good job, but if you want to please your mother, it is not enough." ”

The tone is weird, not human-like.

The cat fairy snorted: "The times have long been different, even if it is ......"

After a pause, the old cat seemed to be a little jealous and vague: "...... Even if she comes back, don't try to restore everything. ”

He laughed a few times, and before the voice disappeared, he left an extremely eerie sentence: "In that case, what are you afraid of?" ”

There was only silence in the room, only to be broken by a cautious voice after a long time: "Immortal, 'he' gone?" ”

The cat fairy simply lay on the futon, resting his chin on his paws, and said lazily: "It's gone, it's all gone." ”

A ninja cat with a hunched waist and full armor on its body pushed open the door and walked in.

"Immortals, are we really going to start helping Makoto Uchiha with all our might?" The beard is curled up and turned up, obviously dressed as a samurai, but there is an indescribable funny and cute temperament, and the ninja cat who came in still holds his katana and asks.

The cat fairy didn't speak, and the ninja cat didn't dare to ask again, so he could only stand and wait.

"We will do whatever he tells us to do." After a while, the old cat replied faintly.

Who is this 'he' referring to, Makoto, or is it the holder of the mysterious voice of the unknown?

The ninja cat seemed to have this question, and he stood there, wanting to say nothing.

For many years, Jieyun Village has kept a low profile, and is even willing to let the outside world form the impression that "psychic cats are not good at fighting", and only slowly develop commercial strength, this kind of Taoguang is obscure, but it has been broken today.

"Tiger Guard, you remember, we didn't want to do this, but we had to."

yes, what are you afraid of?

How can it not be afraid in the face of [them], and how can it not be afraid?

On this day, Shinobi Yukumo recalls the fear of being once dominated by [them] and the humiliation of being imprisoned in a cage.
