The third leader of Uchiha is also saving the world today

Teacher Cat is missing.

At first, Natsume Takashi thought that this drunkard cat Dango was out of character and went to drink somewhere he didn't know. However, after four days, he still didn't see him come back.

Although it seems that this kind of situation has never happened before, Natsume Takashi is still worried.

After school, Natsume Takashi went to Yahara to ask the monsters if they knew the whereabouts of Mr. Neko, but the answers he received were all that he didn't know.

The monsters have been very calm about Mr. Neko's sudden whims from time to time, and have been comforting Natsume Takashi.

"It's okay, it's okay~ That white dolphin... ah no, Madara-sama must have gone somewhere to drink again."

The intermediates stood on either side of Natsume Takashi. While speaking, they gently patted Natsume Takashi's shoulders. Their tone was not only not worried but even a little excited, "Don't worry about that guy...ah no, It’s Madara-sama.”

"That's true," C took a puff of cigarette and slowly exhaled it.

"Isn't this guy a bodyguard? He has been neglecting his duties all day long and actually left my poor and lovely Natsume-kun alone for so long. It's really outrageous!"

"Natsume, why not take this opportunity to fire that guy."

Bing finished complaining about Mr. Cat with a look of disgust, and the next second he moved close to the brown-haired boy, his shoulder was close to the boy's, and the hand holding the long pipe was casually swiping in the air.

"We are all very happy to replace Huo Ban as your bodyguard~"

"That's right!" "Yes, yes!" The intermediates responded enthusiastically.

Even Sanxiao, who always lay in the back and rarely spoke, nodded her huge head.

"Thank you for your kindness...I will go and ask elsewhere."

The kindness of the monsters made Natsume Takashi a little at a loss. He was not used to accepting others' kindness to him calmly.

And if Natsume Takashi really agrees to C's proposal, he will be furious when the cat teacher comes back... Although it will feel very cute, it will be a headache to really appease him.

……

At the end of another day, Natsume Takashi had searched everywhere he could find nearby, and all the monsters he met said they had never seen the cat (dolphin) in the photo.

Seeing that the sky was getting darker, in order not to worry Aunt Tako, Natsume Takashi had no choice but to go home and wait until tomorrow to expand the search area.

After searching for three days in a row, even Tanuma and Dokki noticed the noise caused by Natsume Takashi, and after understanding the situation, they joined the team looking for the cat teacher.

Although the monsters in Yahara said, "There is no need for Natsume-sama to look for that guy Madara," but seeing Natsume Takashi looking for someone day after day, the monsters sighed, and they also raised their flags and started to look around. Ask about that troublesome fellow.

In this way, on the ninth day, there was still no news.

In the early morning of the tenth day, it happened to be the beginning of the weekend. Natsume Takashi got up early and said hello to Aunt Tako, and then embarked on a journey to find the cat teacher again.

Regarding the missing cat teacher, Natsume Takashi explained to the Fujiwara couple that a friend liked the cat teacher very much and wanted to take it home to raise, so he stayed with her for a while.

Unlike Natsume Takashi who had to go to school during the day and go home in the evening, the monsters had nothing to do on weekdays and wandered out no matter how late at night. With their help, the search progress suddenly increased a lot.

The good relationships Natsume Takashi had formed in his daily life also came into play, and there were many monsters willing to help.

However, even under such a huge crowd tactic, there is still no news about Mr. Cat.

This is not normal.

"Damn Madara————"

After a few days, Bing's delicate face has become as ferocious as a demon, "Let's see how I deal with him after I find him!"

However, although she cursed a lot, her attitude towards finding someone was more than a little more serious than before.

------------

In the third week of the disappearance of Mr. Neko, at night, Natsume Takashi, who could not wait for news from the monsters at home, left his family in the middle of the night with the help of the monsters and came to the forest in Linxian County.

Here he met a young man with black hair.

The young man's long black hair was tied into a bunch on the back of his head, his back was cold and noble, and he had a special sense of isolation from the surrounding environment.

In order to find the cat teacher, Natsume Takashi has expanded the search area to Linxian County with the help of monsters. As a monster from another area, he is unfamiliar with this place. He saw the young man appearing alone in the depths of the forest in the middle of the night. This place made Natsume Takashi subconsciously classify him as a monster.

"Hello,"

Natsume Takashi hesitated for a moment, but his worry about Mr. Neko clearly took over. He stepped forward, took out a photo of Mr. Neko from his bag and asked,

"Have you ever seen the cat in the photo? This is my cat. He suddenly disappeared two weeks ago..."

As the perspective zoomed in and changed, Natsume Takashi gradually saw the young man's whole face clearly. When he saw a black eyepatch, Natsume Takashi thought for a moment that he was meeting that guy Shiba Shizuji.

But he soon realized that it wasn't the case. Although the young man's appearance was almost exactly the same as Shizuji's, they both had long black hair and eye patches, but the style of the eye patches was different (Natsume: Actually, the guy I wanted to find was the same person as Iba) It's not easy to put on the 'eye mask' of this style), the difference in face shape and facial features is quite big.

Ba Jingji's eyes are more slender, and the whole person feels more like a sharp arrow that is ready to go, very dangerous, and the young man in front of him feels equally dangerous and mysterious, but underneath it is There is a feeling of brittleness.

The handsome facial features look more like the beautiful spirits in people's imagination under the moonlight.

Natsume Takashi indeed recognized the young man as a monster, so he stepped forward and asked if he had seen the cat teacher.

"This is……"

The young man's eyes moved to the calico cat in the photo, which was exactly the same as the Lucky Cat. The slight thoughtfulness in his eyes was keenly noticed by Natsume Takashi.

Natsume Takashi's heart suddenly surged with anticipation. He had really been looking for Mr. Cat for a long time, and the longer it took, the more worrying he became.

However, before the young man could continue speaking, something extremely discordant came from the trees not far away.

“Friends’ Book——Where is the human kid holding the Friends’ Book————Friends’ Book————”

Being chased by these monsters who covet the power of the friends' account has become a part of Natsume Takashi's daily life. The moment he heard this hoarse voice, Natsume Takashi reacted——

He grabbed the black-haired monster's hand, suddenly opened his legs and ran in the opposite direction from where the sound came from.

"..."

"Found it! The Book of Friends—The Book of Friends————"

The 'head' that was originally searching aimlessly in the forest suddenly became excited after hearing the hoarse and unpleasant sound of Natsume Takashi running. He kept mumbling in his mouth and rushed towards Natsume Takashi quickly. Coming in pursuit.

'Hurry up, hurry up, C and the others should be in front...'

Natsume Takashi ran wildly with the black-haired monster. Just when he was about to approach the area that C and the others were responsible for, he suddenly felt his ankle being entangled with something. Then Natsume Takashi stumbled and lost his balance. Thrown to the ground.

"Well--"

'Oops! '

Natsume Takashi secretly thought that something was wrong, but at this moment, his leg got tangled in the hair of the big-headed monster with only one head. This time, not only did he accidentally stumble, but he might also get involved with the little monster next to him.

At this moment, a piercing scream came from behind Natsume Takashi and rushed to the back of his head. Natsume Takashi closed his eyes without having time to dodge, but he did not feel the pain for a long time.

At this moment, an even more unpleasant scream came from behind. Natsume Takashi turned his head and saw that the long hair of the big-headed monster that had just chased him seemed to have been neatly cut off by something particularly sharp, making it messy. The long hair only reaches the length of the chin, and the 'big head' is mourning for the hair that has left him.

"It seems to be working."

Natsume Takashi heard the black-haired monster whisper. His deep and pleasant voice was completely different from the 'big-headed' voice. He was calm, dignified, and mysterious... Natsume Takashi suddenly found that he seemed to be completely different from the beginning. I misjudged the strength of the black-haired monster. Although he is a humanoid monster, he is probably a big monster whose strength is not weaker than that of Neko-sensei.

Thinking of this, the 'big head' that had lost its hair let out an angry roar, and the whole 'head' exploded into a thorny ball and hit the two of them.

Just looking at the description of "thorn ball", it seems a bit cute, but the two people present did not feel this way at all. Anyone who sees what a "big-headed" face looks like can't unconscionably say that the other person is even remotely cute.

Such an exciting scene rushed straight at him, and even Natsume Takashi's well-trained heart was not immune to this mental damage.

However, just before he closed his eyes, a magical scene happened in front of him——

The space two meters in front of the two people suddenly tore open a hole, which was right across the path of the 'Big Head' rushing over. The 'Big Head' who was caught off guard just fell in and disappeared.

"Him!" Natsume Takashi subconsciously looked at the black-haired monster. He was a little surprised at the magic of the other party's methods and also worried about the monster just now. "He... was he sent away by you or..."

The black-haired monster quietly looked at Natsume Takashi for a long time, and Natsume Takashi kept replaying in his mind whether there was anything wrong with his clothes before going out today. After a while, the black-haired monster finally answered Natsume Takashi. Previous question.

"I didn't kill him, I just teleported him to a farther place."

The black-haired monster simply answered the boy's question and then extended his hand to the boy.

Only then did Natsume Takashi realize that he was still in the awkward position of lying on the ground, his cheeks were slightly red, and he held the black-haired monster's hand.

The situation was not as urgent as before. Natsume Takashi noticed something was wrong when he held the hand. In the past, holding the monster's hand was like holding a wisp of wind, but now the feeling coming from the palm was... It is the warm and soft touch of human beings.

"Are you not a monster?" the boy blurted out.

"I never said I was a monster."

Uchiha Sakusuki looked strangely at the 'protagonist' who magically came to him before he had just arrived in this world and had not thought about what to do next.

"My name is Uchiha Sakusuki, and I am a ninja."
