Chapter 147: The Coming Storm (Preface)
"It's a terrible feeling."
Yue Yong looked at the clouds outside the window, it was obviously noon, but the sky was as dark as night, and the air was full of water vapor.
It's probably been a long time since I've been so uncomfortable.,In the past, I've been used to being able to rest assured that as long as Kaguya is around.,Even if something happens, he will definitely be able to help himself This sense of trust.,Now after suddenly losing it, it makes Yue Yong a little uncomfortable.。
At this time, it has been about four days since Fugaku's departure, and I don't know if he will go well—I hope everything is safe.
"Tsukiyong-sama, Senbei-sama is here, saying that there is an urgent matter."
Aoi's voice came from the hallway, and Yueyong replied unhurriedly to let him in, and then heard the door open.
Yue Yong looked towards the door, and saw a thousand soldiers with a heavy face slowly walking into the house.
"Lady Moonsong...... Granny Meow wants to see you."
"Huh?"
Yue Yong had a puzzled expression on her face, Mother-in-law? She remembered that it was a contract beast that had been passed down from generation to generation by the Uchiha, but Yue Yong had never and had no interest in signing a summoning beast contract with a cat, so she had never met the rumored Granny Meow.
In fact, if Yue Yong had signed the psychic beast contract and asked Kaguya to sign it, the communication between the two of them would have been directly conveyed through the psychic world - it's a pity that Yue Yong couldn't look down on the cat's combat power, and Kaguya was not interested in summoning beasts, so if he had to say it, he would rather waste a little more effort to find the tailed beast.
"Granny Meow rescued a scarred clansman last night, and that black cat is ...... Fuyue's psychic beast seems to have been attacked by an unknown on the way back to the village."
With a bang, I saw that the table had been turned over, and the tea on it was spilled on the floor.
Yue Yong stood up directly, her eyes full of shock.
Sure enough, something still happened!
"Take me there at once!"
——————
In the village of cat ninja, Tsukiyong and Senbei (Fugaku's deputy), who came here through the rebellious psychic, almost did not stop to come under a huge tree, which is a room built in a tree hollow, and there is also cultivated land and fences around it, and the cats can be seen working like humans.
The cats glanced at the two Uchiha who came to the cat ninja village, and when they saw Yueyong, their eyes were golden, they had already heard that the Uchiha had a new super genius, and it was a beautiful girl. Now that they see it with their own eyes, some cats can't help but make cute meows in an attempt to attract Yueyong's attention.
Although the cat ninja village lives in a paradise, it is the nature of all creatures to follow the strong.
There have been a lot of cats gathered in the tree hole, when Yue Yong and Qianbei entered, the first thing to find was that the inside of the tree hole was quite warm, the overall layout was full of life like a human home, there were a few cats on the soft blanket on the ground, and on the sofa in the center, there was a pure white, looking quite kind and kind cat mother-in-law, it had a three-point human-shaped, seven-point cat-shaped appearance.
Under the warm light, Granny Meow is holding a seriously injured black cat in her arms, at this time Granny Meow's face is full of distressed looks, it stretches out its tongue and gently licks the child's fur, each licking will reduce the pain of the black cat, but at the same time, it will also reveal the wound hidden under the fur, the wound is really deep.
"Granny Meow."
As Yue Yong called softly, Granny Meow seemed to have just noticed a few more people in her family, she slowly raised her hand, and the golden vertical boy reflected Yue Yong's figure.
After a long time, Granny Meow suddenly sighed.
"You don't like the weakness of our people, I can understand that."
"But if you want to use our power, you have to give something, but you humans always do."
Mother-in-law Meow seems to be blaming Yue Yong for being arrogant, and the cat ninja clan wanted to sign a contract with Yue Yong, but was decisively rejected by Yue Yong's cold arrogance, because she felt that the cat was too weak, and what she was pursuing was overwhelming strength and violence. Now that something is going on in the family, I don't know that my deputy has been killed, and I have to rely on the ninja cat to get the news.
Yue Yong knew that her mother-in-law blamed herself for refusing the contract of the cat ninja, and the cat ninja was weak and had to rely on the strong, but they were also very good at spying on intelligence and secret whereabouts, and Yue Yong's attitude was really hurtful at the beginning...... Uh, hurt the cat.
"Come here, it just so happens that Kuromaru has woken up now, you can ask it about specific things."
Fortunately, Granny Meow is not a narrow-minded person, she beckoned, and Yue Yong immediately walked over.
Sure enough, the cat named Kuromaru in the arms of Granny Meow has come to his senses, and it slowly opened its uninjured left eye, and its right eye has been blind because of the injury, and its left hind leg is gone directly down from the root, and its tail is also half broken.
Tsuki-yong's face was embarrassed, she knew that Kuromaru had lost her precious left leg and tail because of the Uchiha clan, and she was full of guilt for a while.
「…… Kuromaru... Sorry......"
Yue Yong reached out and gently stroked Kuromaru's head, her face full of guilt. At the beginning, she was too arrogant to reject the proposal of the cat ninja village, and now that I think about it, I really regret it, if she had signed it earlier and shared it with Kaguya, maybe it wouldn't be where it is today, after all, her vision was too narrow at that time.
「… Meow ......"
The poor black cat pushed against Ding Yueyong's hand with his brain, stretched out his tongue and licked it lightly a few times.
"It says you don't have to care, it's voluntary."
Granny Meow explained on the side.
Yue Yong's face showed distress, and then she squatted down and asked softly, "Kuromaru, what happened?" Why are you so badly injured, and what's wrong with them?"
"Woo...... Meow ......"
Kuromaru let out a mournful roar, and the only remaining eye showed a hint of fear and resentment.
Yueyong learned from Kurumaru's mouth that it turned out that not long after Fugaku and the other three left the village that day, they were secretly attacked by a group of sand ninja (root disguise), and after a fierce battle, the two Uchiha were killed on the spot, their bodies were chopped up, and their eyes were gouged out, leaving Fuyue unwilling to give in and resisting desperately.
When he was about to be defeated, he ran all the way, and when he ran into the enemy's blind spot, the psychic came out of Kuromaru and handed it the bloodstained letter, hoping that Kuromaru could send the news on his behalf.
As for the future, there is nothing to say, Kuromaru paid a terrible price, and the cat ninja village that gritted his teeth and teleported back to after a moment of near death, if he slowed down a little, he was afraid that the corpse would be left behind.
「…… Meow ......"
"It said, sorry for messing up the mission, the letter didn't get out."
"Meow..."
"It says it's really sorry."
Seeing Kuromaru bow his head full of guilt, the only remaining eye was still full of tears of humiliation and unwillingness - at that moment, Yue Yong seemed to see his own shadow, so unwilling that it must have done it with the determination to die, and it was forced to give up the mission until the moment of its final death, and it must have done it in order to pass the news of the mission failure.
Yue Yong never thought that the cat turned out to be such a cute and proud creature, and her heart softened, and she couldn't help but reach out and gently hug Kuromaru, she comforted, "No, there is no need to apologize - you have done well enough, hard work Kuromaru."
"Thanks to you, I now know how bad the situation is, and I finally understand why it's hard to calm these days."
"I see, Shinobi...... Huh."
Suddenly, Yue Yong thought of a question.
"Kuromaru, is that Fugaku dead?"
