Konoha cat Breeder

Chapter 9: Cloud Ninja's Pursuit 

---

He left the sealed space of the Two-Tails with ease.

Basically, he goes in and plays for a while every day, and tries to communicate for a while, whether it is to communicate with Nibi or because he feels that Nibi is a little pitiful...

The main purpose of Tonari doing this is... to prevent the Two-Tails from going berserk for no reason!

After this period of contact, Tonari learned from the Two-Tails and his own usual feelings that the seal on his body was not stable!

It can even be said that it is very unstable!

If it weren't for the fact that the Two-Tails suffered serious injuries during the process of transferring the seal, he would now be fully capable of breaking out of the sealed cage and becoming a free tailed beast.

And Tonari believes that no tailed beast can refuse this.

So now, before Tonari finds help as quickly as possible, he needs to ease the relationship with the two-tailed beast.

He didn't ask Nibi to treat him as a friend.

At least before he took action, he had a little hesitation in his heart. Even if it was only a hesitation of 0.1 seconds, it was a success for Tonari himself.

Moreover, long-term contact will also allow Tonari to better understand the current state and thoughts of the Two-Tails.

It's not that he is scheming and racking his brains to seal the two-tailed beast.

But if he couldn't even keep the Two-Tails under control, he knew very well what would happen to the Jinchūriki without the tailed beast.

It's not that he wants to do this, but he has to do it!

After coming out of the sealed space, Tonari sat quietly in the carriage and waited, while recovering his strength.

It is not possible to recover quickly from long hours of exercise during the day, even with the subtle help of the Two-Tails.

Now it was getting dark, and Tonari was ready to leave the caravan.

Although the days during the caravan trip were very comfortable, with food and sleep.

Even if the food is not very good, it is no problem to fill his stomach.

But the more this happened, the more uneasy he felt.

It was so easy.

Leaving the Land of Thunder was so simple and smooth.

It was less than two days away from the Land of Fire, and all this seemed too easy to Tonari.

It was so simple that he even felt that this caravan had other intentions.

Although it was his own choice in the first place, when it comes to his own life safety, these things become less important.

So, tonight, Tonari decided to leave the caravan!

Anyway, they were not far from the Land of Fire, and he could identify the approximate direction. As long as he entered the territory of the Land of Fire, the path to Konoha would no longer be so out of reach.

He sat quietly in the carriage to recover his strength, waiting for night to fall.

When the slightly dim moon was hanging directly above the night sky, Tonari saw through the gap in the window curtains that the guards of the caravan were still patrolling diligently.

But it was midnight, which is also the time when a person's will is weakest.

Now was definitely the best time to leave.

Although he didn't know if this caravan really had any other purpose, it's better to be safe than sorry.

He wouldn't survive until the end if he stayed.

Hey, steady!

He seized the opportunity and quietly jumped off the carriage, rolling over into the bushes beside him without making any extra sound.

Being small and thin has many disadvantages, but also many advantages.

He had been exercising in the carriage these days. It was not just about exercising his body to a certain extent, but at least he had to keep it completely under his control!

He crouched and moved quickly through the woods. The clothes he bought specially played a very important role at this moment. They could not only hide him in the night but also avoid the influence of some weeds and branches.

The knowledge and abilities engraved deep in his memory were all brought to the extreme at this moment.

Traveling at night, especially in a dense forest, is definitely not a good idea.

There are many more dangers in the woods at night than during the day.

But Tonari had to do it.

By quickly rushing to the Fire Nation, his own safety was barely guaranteed.

Otherwise, not to mention the Two-Tails' rampage, he wasn't sure whether the Cloud Ninja was really fooled by his little tricks.

After all, he is not a ninja and can only judge the abilities of ninjas based on his own subjective consciousness.

For safety reasons, Tonari would rather pretend that there are pursuers behind him.

Of course, this time it has nothing to do with hiding; it's wisdom!

Fortunately, he had been eating and drinking for free in the caravan these days, and those precious ration pills were preserved, which could be of great use now.

They're a bit unpalatable.

But compared to one's own life, taste and the like seem less important.

As he walked in the woods for longer and longer, Tonari became more and more familiar with the distribution of vegetation in this Naruto world, and his speed became faster and faster.

Compared to the slow-moving caravan, a person walking alone could actually move faster.

...

...

Daybreak!

Bang——

There was a muffled sound next to the caravan's carriage.

Noticing the commotion, the caravan guards and the caravan leader rushed towards the location of the disturbance.

All they saw was a person with a slightly dark complexion, a white mask on his face, short hair, a simple ninja combat suit, and a short blade on his back.

He suddenly appeared in front of the carriage where Tonari was originally waiting.

After seeing who made the noise, those who wanted to move forward stopped.

Especially when they saw that the person who had come had a forehead protector representing the Cloud Ninja tied on his arm, they were even more afraid to go forward.

The person who had come was none other than the Kumo Ninja Anbu who was tracking down Tonari!

They could see a furry little animal standing on his left shoulder. It didn't look very big, just a little round, but they could vaguely tell that it was a mouse!

The Kumo-nin Anbu stared at the carriage Tonari had lived in for a while, the rat's nose on his shoulder twitching.

The caravan boss and guards stood there trembling, not daring to speak.

"Where is the child in this carriage?" asked the Cloud Ninja Anbu after getting the answer from his summoned beast.

Through the white mask on his face, one could see a pair of cold eyes without any emotion.

The caravan boss shuddered.

His forehead was instantly covered with beads of sweat. "Sir, isn't that child in the carriage?"

bass—

Two white lights flashed!

Then they saw the Cloud Ninja Anbu's right hand grabbing the short blade on his back and slowly putting it back into the scabbard.

Crack, bang!!

A slanted cross-shaped slash appeared in front of everyone.

The door of the carriage also shattered!

It turned out that in the carriage, apart from the originally messy cargo becoming slightly tidy, there was not even a ghost inside.

The caravan boss kept wiping the sweat off his forehead with a handkerchief. "Sir, I don't know what happened. Yesterday, I was still in the carriage!"

The Kumogakure ANBU ignored him and walked into the carriage, squatting and searching for something on the floor of the carriage. At the same time, the spherical mouse on his shoulder jumped onto the wooden board and sniffed at it with its little nose.

He reached out his hand and rubbed the wooden board gently a few times.

"The smells that humans can detect have been completely erased, and if it weren't for the scent rat, he would have really run away.

It seems that this kid is really not simple. The target of this caravan is the Land of Fire. Are they from Konoha?"

In his opinion, the guess in his mind was most likely true.

We can't delay any longer. We are not far from the Fire Kingdom here. If we enter the Fire Kingdom, we will be in real trouble!

Thinking of this, after the scent rat returned to his shoulder, he disappeared into the carriage in a flash.

This made the caravan owners and guards who were trembling with fear outside breathe a sigh of relief.

The people that these businessmen cannot afford to offend the most are ninjas...

However, after the Cloud Ninja Anbu left for a while, the expression of the caravan boss, who was originally trembling with fear, eased.

"Have you informed everyone who should be informed?"

An old man walked out from behind the boss.

It was the old man who delivered meals to the servant every day.

Nodding, "I've said it all, but..."

The caravan boss shook his head and said, "We were not involved in this and we don't know anything...

What Konoha does is their business, but we cannot help but say something; after all...the industry is all in the Land of Fire..."
