Hinata's lunch was also abundant, and Naruto, who was next to Ninji, happily gave Ninji the food that was not sweet and hated under the pretext of 'eating more vegetables is good for his health'.

Ning Ci took the dish and tried to dodge it, but after being glared at by Hisa, he couldn't help but put it back, and accepted it unhappily and thanked him.

Kakashi's portion was a lot less than before, just enough for him to eat a little, but not as if he wanted to vomit like he had before.

After the meal, they walked around the courtyard of Hinata's house with the other two adults and children, and a cat jumped over the path they were walking on from nowhere, drawing Naruto's eye to it.

The cat stood on the edge of the far wall and turned to look at it, and meowed softly, not knowing if it was greeting the head of the house.

Naruto kept looking at the cat and couldn't walk in a straight line, and if Kakashi hadn't been leading him, he probably wouldn't have walked down a small staircase or hit a pillar in a few steps.

"Speaking of which, that cat is ......"

Kakashi dragged the child to his side again, asking as if he was inadvertent.

"Ah, that, I haven't seen it run out before, it's always here, and the hair on its body is clean, it shouldn't be a wild cat - probably someone in the clan raised it."

Hiza glanced at Hinata and explained it himself when he saw that he still had a straight face and didn't mean to speak.

“…… Can you touch it? ”

Kakashi lifted his head and tried to blink his eyes as innocently as Naruto's.

"Of course, it's kind to people, and we've never seen it hurt."

Hinashi nodded, making a gesture of invitation to Kakashi, and then beckoned to the kitten on the wall.

The cat seemed to be an adult, not as big as the eyes of a kitten, and not as cute, but ...... Being a cat is a plus - but it's the size of a normal cat, and unless it's as big as a medium-sized dog, it's usually called a kitten.

The cat meowed at them again, and then sat down on the wall, ignoring Hisashi's greetings.

Hizashi silently stopped greeting and nodded to Kakashi again with an expression on his face.

…… If you don't wear a forehead guard, this is really a day, and you deserve to be a brother.

Naruto glanced at Hinashi with his peripheral vision, quietly struggling with Kakashi's hand.

Kakashi has helped ask, that is, you can touch it!

But in front of outsiders, Naruto felt that it was better to give Kakashi such a loss of face, so he didn't throw his arm away from him and run away, but 'resisted' in a way that others couldn't usually find.

Kakashi said it was impossible not to notice, but he didn't let go.

Even the little paws he was holding changed from struggling to pinching the skin of his palms.

"It's not going to run, is it?"

Kakashi led Naruto forward a few steps and looked back at the people, and glanced at the cat above him with some concern, who could run away in an instant just by thinking about it, and saw that Naruto was so anxious that he ran forward and used some force to pull him back.

He was worried about disturbing the cat and then frustrating Naruto's expectations.

Although he was worried that he would be angry again, he mainly hoped that Naruto would touch the cat.

But it's not okay to be too anxious, what to do if you scare the cat?

And it wasn't a familiar cat either - he wasn't sure if it would reach out to Naruto.

"Probably ......"

They are also uncertain about the day difference.

Ning Ci didn't have any special reaction, it seemed that he could often see this cat so he didn't want to touch it, Hinata's face was full of envy, but he didn't dare to say it.

Naruto noticed Hinata's gaze, and after thinking about it, decided not to speak on his own—he pulled his arm back so that Kakashi could notice him.

The force of this 'pulling' was different from the one just now, and Kakashi crouched down a little and asked him what was wrong.

Naruto directly hugged Kakashi and said a few words in his ear in just an airy voice.

Kakashi was silent for a moment, sighed and nodded, then let go of his hand and turned his back to Naruto, his hands resting on his waist behind his back.

Naruto pressed Kakashi's shoulder and stepped on Kakashi's hand, and when he was on his feet, he stepped on his other hand and rode on his shoulder with the strength of Kakashi's up.

"That's it, right?"

Kakashi grabbed the child's two tiny ankles and allowed him to balance on his shoulders.

"Hmm!"

Naruto replied as he tugged at a pinch of his wig.

Naruto had wanted to pull his hair, but found out that it would pull the wig off - and then he had to rebutton the wig that had been pulled off his head to Kakashi, there was no hair to pull off, but nothing else.

Naruto turned his hand and pinched Kakashi's ear cartilage and pulled it at the cat.

Kakashi reluctantly carried the child on his shoulders and slowly walked to the bottom of the fence.

Naruto looked up at the cat.

He could touch it, but it was a little reluctant, so instead of reaching over, he winked at the cat.

The kitten hesitantly raised its paws and leaned forward, scratching the air two or three times, and then snatched the hair of the child across from him with a paw.

Rather than blinking their eyes, cats pay more attention to their hair that is swaying in the wind.

The kitten didn't stretch out its nails, but when it withdrew its paws, it also had a few short black and blue hairs between its paws, and after glancing at it with curious eyes, it squinted its eyes and began to lick its fur from the tip of its claws to the back of its claws.

Naruto remembered that in the days when Hinata was blind, he had seen the cat that had been moved by Ninji at Hinata's house, and although it was a video he watched, it seemed to be the one in front of him...... Maybe it's the cub of this cub in terms of time?

Kakashi was a little square when the cat came out of his claws, but he didn't see any serious consequences in the prediction of the writing wheel, so he didn't help stop the kitten's paws - the main thing was that it wasn't hair, and even if it was, it wasn't true.

And if it's a cat, then Naruto should be quite happy to be slapped a few times.

That's what he thinks.

ㅤ

Didn't run, okay.

Naruto held Kakashi's head and rubbed his hands slightly, then reached out to the paw-licking kitten in a back-up position.

The kitten paused as it licked its paws, then spit out the little tongue that he had forgotten to retract and moved his nose to sniff at the back of his hand.

Cats also like to sniff things.

Naruto swallowed.

…… It's time to test the phase!!

The kitten retracted its head and continued to move the tip of its nose in slight increments for a moment, then raised its paws again, tilted its head and pasted the back of Naruto's somewhat rounded hand with a caramel-colored flesh pad.

It's all squishy.

Naruto held back and didn't let himself force Kakashi to hold the kitten over.

He was afraid that this cat would tell other cats that he was too much when he was walking, and let other cats pay attention not to get too close to him.

Naruto bypassed the kitten's paw and put his hand on it.

The kitten's eyebrows twitched, and he quickly withdrew his paw with his mouth half-open, and pressed Naruto's hand again in a particularly domineering manner.

…… There can be nothing on the cat's paw except for its own parts of the body! What! East! West!
