The weight of the claws on his shoulders was very heavy, and the whole panther was also very large, which made Kakashi feel an inexplicable sense of oppression.

He didn't answer the panther for a while, firstly because the panther's pure black aura was very present, and secondly, because he didn't know how to teach animals.

Animal organs, blood vessels, bones, etc., are different from human beings.

The third is that he remembered that he had been pressed against the wall by this panther before, and at that time he had not yet graduated and was not even five years old, and this leopard made him feel very weak.

And just like my father asked, I can't do it myself.

So Kakashi didn't know if he had a chance of winning, and he was very skeptical - if he really fought, would he be able to fight?

Probably not.

Because there are all kinds of restrictions.

"Wouldn't you?"

Maguro pressed the paw on his shoulder and pressed it hard, "Aren't you a dog at home?" It's not the same race as mine, but aren't there animals too? ”

Kakashi felt the heavier claws on his shoulders, and he felt like his arm was about to be removed.

"No...... My family is not a dog breeder, well, no, it's not, it's not a professional dog breeder, there is a dog mound family in the village, they are professional, my family just signed a contract with some dogs, so ...... I don't have my own psychic beast yet, so I don't know if I can help you. ”

Twelve-year-old Kakashi couldn't be as 'youthful and vigorous' as he was at three or four, and his tone of voice was much softer than he had been then—certainly not on purpose, but he couldn't be stronger.

"Then you can tell me how to use chakra, and I will study the animals myself."

Maguro slowed down a little and patted him on the shoulder.

"Uh...... Right now? ”

Kakashi looked up at the sky.

Black-blue-black-blue, no stars.

It's late at night.

"Well, now, every day, until I learn - you don't have anything else to do anyway, do you?"

True Black slapped him off the tree with one paw.

As for why Kakashi is in the tree...... Maguro probably knows a little bit about the reason, but he didn't ask specifically.

Kakashi quickly steadied himself on the ground with a somersault, and looked up to see the real black standing on the branches of a two- or three-story building.

…… It was too dark, and the real black panther was too dark to see anything but the eyes and the shadows of the trees.

It's like a dryad that has fused with a tree.

Maguro stood on the tree and looked down at Kakashi for a moment, then jumped down in satisfaction.

It was obvious that he had landed beside Kakashi, but he didn't feel the ground tremor caused by the weight of a panther of this size—not at all.

"You...... How heavy? ”

Kakashi moved to the side, looking up and down at the real black.

True black is getting cooler and cooler now, and if you can take it out, it will be very stylish.

But Kakashi thinks he's a mature person anymore, and he can't have such childish thoughts anymore.

…… And he felt that if he really asked, even if Maguro agreed, he might be thrown off coldly in the process of leaping.

Anyway, it's an intuition.

Maguro lowered her head to meet his eye level, and although it was in the dim environment of the night, her pupils were still sharp and slender.

Maguro tilted her head and raised her paw again with half-squinted eyes.

Kakashi didn't pay much attention to it because he thought it was still a pat on the shoulder, but he didn't expect the leopard to directly press his heart, lungs and waist with one paw and directly press himself down.

…… Shen, not ordinary Shen.

And Makoro was still adding to his claws—Kakashi felt like his sternum and ribs were going to collapse, and it was even harder to breathe.

- The black claws were half as large as Kakashi's head, and a single claw almost covered his upper body—though the clothes he was wearing now couldn't tell where the drive was and where the chest or abdomen were.

Kakashi suspected that this one might be as heavy as a tree.

Anyway, he felt like he was about to be trampled to death (...... ）
