But when it actually faced these vicious dogs, dozens of times its own size, it promptly backed down.
Not only did its entire small body curl up like a fluffy ball, but its pair of crystal-clear cat eyes looked pitifully at the boy, its gaze full of pleading.
If it weren't in this environment full of dogs, and afraid that those nasty creatures would discover something new and interesting about it, it would surely have cried out pitifully.
Unfortunately, the boy who brought them here clearly didn't notice this, and following his gaze, a pretty young lady with a low ponytail was skillfully fiddling with and configuring something.
Seeing this, it immediately understood what was going on.
In an instant, a deep sense of grief and indignation slowly welled up in his heart. He had been treated like a tool cat!
If he could speak, he would surely sneer:
[Ha, what a scumbag!]
No wonder I smell so much like kittens!!
Huang, of course, had no idea what the kitten was thinking.
When he was first approached and asked for food, he just felt that he seemed to have seen this little guy somewhere before, and didn't pay much attention to it.
After all, the red bow on its ear clearly indicates that it belongs to someone and has only been lost temporarily.
However, after noticing the injury on its calf and the fact that no owner had come looking for it, Huang picked it up and intended to find a pet hospital to give it some simple bandaging and treatment.
The idea of coming to the Inuzuka family's pet clinic arose at that time.
This doesn't mean that Konoha only has one place that treats pets, nor does it mean that the Inuzuka family's medical skills are the best among all pet hospitals.
Rather, it was because of a summoning quest that was triggered three years ago:
【Guardian Blade - Inugami】: A yokai with an upright, brave, and resolute personality. His superb swordsmanship is unmatched by most yokai, and he is willing to sacrifice his life for friendship.
However, I've heard that he used to be nothing more than a vicious dog that only knew how to kill.
In order to subdue the enemy, an ordinary village can be destroyed without any disturbance.
Ultimately, it was his best friend who changed him.
Let them know that the strongest thing in this world is not force, but the gentleness of trusting a friend.
Level: Nightmare
Summoning materials: Blood of the Inuzuka clan, 1 Intermediate Summoning Talisman.
The sword severs the flesh, the heart severs the soul.
Where the heart leads, the sword follows!
"Go, go play in the backyard, don't scare the little girl."
In that brief moment of contemplation, Inuzuka Hana carried a metal tray to the minimalist operating table, which was clearly set up to help treat simple injuries to small pets.
As for the little girl he was referring to, she was naturally referring to the kitten with the bow in its hair.
The three large creatures that were driven away were undoubtedly the three ninja dogs, Haimaru and his brothers, with whom they had formed a contract.
You should know that because of their reputation, very few cat-loving people come to treat them, which is why these three brothers are so curious about the frail little sister on the table.
"Okay, okay, sweetie, don't be afraid, they are all good children too."
"This shouldn't be your kitten, right?"
After driving the three Haimaru brothers away, Inuzuka Hana gently comforted the kitten while looking up at the boy in her field of vision and speaking.
She recognized the customer in front of her.
And it wasn't because they had been to the eastern border together, but because they had been paying attention to each other since their time at the Ninja Academy.
After all, he and Itachi Uchiha, who were classmates in the same period, were hailed as the most outstanding students of the past decade.
If it weren't for that incident four years ago, I can't imagine how powerful the Uchiha clan would be now.
Huang Weiwei was slightly taken aback by this opening.
The woman whose eyes were drawn to him had a dashing face, and the inverted triangle triangular pattern painted on her cheeks gave her an exotic beauty.
Of course, none of these are the main point. The main point is the faint smile on his lips, a smile without any affectation or falsehood.
This was the place that truly stunned him.
After all, he was aware of the Uchiha clan's unpopularity.
As a comrade-in-arms who had gone to the eastern border together, the other party had no reason not to recognize him.
"Hmph, don't underestimate the noses of the Inuzuka clan."
"Every kitten, just like a human, has its own unique scent."
"You don't have much of its scent on you."
Perhaps seeing the astonishment on the face of this former genius, Hana Inuzuka's smile grew even more proud.
You should know that this handsome junior student made his graduating class quite embarrassed and ashamed.
"So that's it."
Huang didn't explain his surprise, but instead sighed softly in acknowledgment of the other's slight pride.
"Yes, it's not my cat, but it inexplicably became quite attached to me when I first saw it, and after noticing the injury on its leg, I couldn't just leave it alone."
The boy lowered his eyes, his gaze shifting from the girl's bright face to Ah Hu, whose small body was gradually relaxing.
The Inuzuka clan is indeed a family that needs to be guarded against.
He usually only paid attention to visual concealment, confident that he could easily pass through Konoha's visible and hidden sentry posts by relying on the ability of the Mirror of Still Water, but he overlooked the clan's sense of smell.
"Oh, sorry, this is probably not some strange thing. It's just that this greedy little guy smelled the scent of catnip on you."
"That's something that's fatally tempting to cats."
As she spoke, Inuzuka Hana gently tapped Tiger's little head.
The clever little creature seemed to understand something, making 'meow, meow' sounds, as if resisting some kind of evaluation.
"Compared to dogs, there are indeed many kittens that sneak into the territories to beg for food."
"Therefore, we will prepare some catnip and dried small fish as snacks for feeding them."
Huang answered somewhat stiffly, his gaze remaining fixed on the kitten that had completely relaxed.
Even if the other party showed a friendly smile and goodwill, he still didn't want to have too much interaction with the people in Konoha.
Especially those ninjas or clans that do not have much prejudice against the Uchiha clan.
Because of this, one can leave without any worries.
"Wow, a clan that can actually befriend a proud cat. I knew the Uchiha clan wasn't as cold and unapproachable as outsiders say."
"Oh, by the way, Izumi and I are classmates."
"I remember, you used to call her Sister Quan, Sister Quan."
"Well, if you'd like, you can call me Sister Flower, hehe."
Inuzuka Hana smiled brightly, revealing small tiger teeth that didn't quite match her dashing image.
The fact that he is the younger brother of a former classmate and has a love for small animals is enough to make him greet you with a smile.
As for the claim that the Uchiha are an evil clan, what does that have to do with her?
However, faced with such enthusiasm, Huang chose to remain quietly silent.
Not causing trouble for other neutral ninjas is the only thing he can do.
Hana Inuzuka didn't show any displeasure at not receiving a response, perhaps because of her carefree personality and didn't take it to heart, or perhaps because she had already focused her attention on the kitten.
The atmosphere quieted down without anyone noticing. The girl gently brushed the strands of hair that had fallen beside her cheek with her slender hand, and her expression became unusually serious at that moment.
Wearing clean white rubber gloves, I injected a small dose of anesthetic into Ah Hu's injured right leg, and then carefully and patiently cleaned the wound with saline solution.
Huang opened his mouth as if to say something, wanting to ask if there was anything he could do to help, but in the end he did not break the precious tranquility.
After cleaning the wound on Ah-Hu's leg, Inuzuka Hana simply cleaned away some of the fur around the injury and carefully examined the severity of the wound once again. After confirming that there was no serious problem, she disinfected it with iodine and finally gently wrapped a breathable white bandage around it.
"Okay."
"It's just a minor injury. It must have been a scratch from playing. It's nothing serious, and you'll recover quickly."
After taking off her medical rubber gloves and washing her hands briefly, Inuzuka Hana finally had time to brush away the strands of hair that had fallen to her cheeks.
"Um... thank you."
"What is the fee?"
Huang's words were still simple, but those who were very close to him would be able to detect a hint of hesitation in his tone.
He seemed to be struggling with something.
"No need, it's nothing."
"Besides, I should be the one thanking you. Thank you for bringing this child here for treatment in time."
"Although the injury is not serious, it can still become infected if left untreated for a long time."
Inuzuka Hana reached out a finger and gently poked Tiger's soft little belly while sincerely responding.
Thank you so much.
At the end, she carefully repeated her thanks again.
As for Ah Hu
This gluttonous guy, who was always thinking about 'escaping,' could only lie limply on the operating table, probably because the anesthesia hadn't worn off yet.
"Well, I see."
Huang responded softly, not rejecting the suggestion.
However, if given the chance, he would definitely repay the Inuzuka clan double the amount owed.
Of course, it's not just about Ah Hu's medical expenses, there's also...
"I'm sorry, Sister Hua."
The abrupt words and address landed on Inuzuka Hana's ears, but before she could carefully consider their meaning, a pair of scarlet eyes were already imprinted on her pupils.
Obtaining the summoning materials for the Inugami is another outstanding debt, and also the true purpose of his arrival.
