"Like I said, Miss Nekomata, I intend to have a frank talk with you."

"Hmph~" The kitten wagged its tail again, scratched Ling's clothes a few times, and found a more comfortable position to lie down. "Although I don't think there is anything to talk about with humans, I'm bored now, so I'll just listen to you - but you are really brave for a human, you know, I'm a cat."

"So what?" Ling laughed softly, "They say that after a cat lives with a person, it will gradually become similar to that person and eventually replace that person, but there is nothing for an ordinary blind person like me to replace, right?"

"Hmph~ I dare to say it. You clearly have the amount of chakra that a human being can be proud of." The kitten licked its paw again, "So what do you, a very timid human being, want to say to me?"

"Since Miss Nekomata was targeted and sealed by the Uzumaki clan, she must have some extraordinary qualities... You have seen my situation. I really need a summoning beast now. I wonder if Miss Nekomata has any plans to become one?"

"...Although I've said it more than once, you're really brave for a human being." The kitten restrained its idle attitude and slowly sat up straight. "And I thought you would use a more tactful way to say this. Aren't humans good at hypocrisy?"

"Yes, that's right. But since you want to be my partner, you should be honest with me, right? After all, partners obtained through deception are unreliable on the battlefield."

Ling tilted his head slightly, "And if you don't want to, we can separate as soon as possible to avoid some unnecessary discomfort."

"Hmph~ Although I appreciate your frankness, I don't intend to become a companion with a creature weaker than me."

"I was decisively rejected," Ling chuckled. "I was thinking that using a ninja beast that doesn't exist in perception as a summoning beast would be very beneficial on the battlefield... What a pity."

"Hmph~ I thought you would try again?"

"I do want to fight for it again, but Miss Nekomata probably doesn't know much about it, right?" Ling's smile became helpless. "When the Uzumaki clan is carrying out missions such as taming ninja beasts, they usually seal the target completely and bring it back to the clan.

Whether they were kept as collections or as teaching materials - until now, it had never been heard that they would let go of captured ninja beasts.

But Miss Nekomata managed to escape while being sealed. How could a ninja beast with such skills be an unknown person?

If I forced you to do something when you were weak, but failed to eradicate the root cause... I really can't imagine what kind of situation I would be in later with the cat's level of vengeance. "

The kitten's eyes were filled with more interest. "As a human being... you are really likable."

"So, Miss Nekomata has changed her mind?"

"What a pity, no—" Kitty looked up at Ling's chin again, "But after you made these inferences, you still dare to point out everything... Aren't you afraid?"

"Well... I am still afraid and wary," Ling lowered his head slightly, "but Miss Nekomata should be able to feel that I have no hostility towards you. Moreover, Miss Nekomata, even when you have the power, you have never hurt humans at will... And from another perspective, the ninja beast that can be sealed by the Uzumaki clan is worth the risk.

But the most irresistible thing is that Ms. Nekomata is essentially a cat. Who would want a cat, such a cute and charming creature, right?"

"Hehehehe~ What a talkative boy~"

"Thanks for the compliment." Ling smiled and reached out to touch the fur again. It was a pity, "Since our goal cannot be achieved, then we can just get together... hm?"

As Ling's confused nasal voice fell, a cloud of white smoke suddenly exploded in the air, and a somewhat noisy sound also came from it——

“Hahahaha, I told you that reverse spiritual communication can’t be a problem for me! Hahahaha——!”

"What? Three-legged?" Ling smiled, and subconsciously rubbed Koneko's chin with his fingers. "It's amazing that you learned reverse telepathy so quickly."

"Gahahahahaha, of course I am amazing!" The three legs occupied the top of Ling's hair unceremoniously, "This time when I go back, I will definitely laugh at that white cat with a bad face, Gahahaha!"

"Ah, ah, ah... Are you talking about Xuewan? Ling leaned on his staff sword again and shook his head helplessly, "Xuewan and Hong have indeed influenced each other a lot... But is there something urgent that caused Sanzu to use reverse summoning?"

"Gah, Yashu said he had to tell you about an important discovery." The three-legged bird flapped its wings and landed on Ling's arm, which was holding the cane knife. "The thing is in the bird's backpack."

"I see... you've worked hard," Ling took back his cat-stroking hand and fumbled to open the bird backpack on Sanzu's back. He looked embarrassed after taking out the things, "This is... a text message and a bag? Um... can Sanzu recognize words?"

"Gah, I still don't understand it, but I've memorized the pronunciation! It should be fine if I just read it!"

"That's great, let's see what Masaaki wants to do... huh?" Ling tilted his head to look at his left forearm, feeling the weight on it, and smiled helplessly, "Ms. Nekomata is also very curious."

"Huh~ I'm just a harmless cat anyway, so it's okay for me to take a look, right?"

"Then let's go together, but Miss Nekomata please don't spread this around."

The kitten felt that the angle of the arm was not good, so it climbed onto Ling's shoulder and licked its paw leisurely, "I'm not a chatterbox."

Ling chuckled a few times, feeling the sealing technique attached to the short message. Just as he was about to remove it, he heard the voice of Sanzu, "Gah, are you, ugly cat, the new summoning beast that your master has found?"

Koneko's eyes suddenly narrowed, "...Are you talking about me, crow?"

“Hahahahaha—are there other cats here besides you?” The cat flapped its three legs and flew up, circling above Ling. “It’s so ugly, whether it’s the blue and black fur that looks like it’s burning like fire or the heterochromatic eyes, it’s really ugly to death, and it even has two tails?

It's simply a complete anomaly, hahahaha——the chakra fluctuation is also very small, it's a complete useless cat, hahaha——"

It probably looks like this, a palm-sized kitten

The kitten looked at the crow circling in the sky again, and licked its sharp teeth with its pink tongue. "Hmph~ This is such an annoying bird..."

"That's enough, Sanzu, don't say that. I'm sorry, Miss Nekomata, I apologize on behalf of Sanzu. But..." Ling smiled and raised his hand to rub the little cat on his shoulder with his knuckles, "Fur that looks like flames? It's really a beautiful sight that makes people want to see it once."

"Hmph~ Boy, how about I give you a suggestion?"

"what?"

"If you kill the crow, how about I sign a temporary psychic contract with you to help you three times?"

"Oh... this is a really generous offer," Ling shook his head slightly, looking helpless, "But it's a pity, Miss Nekomata, Sanzu is my important partner, I won't abandon him, but if you are very angry, I can let Sanzu go back after reading the letter, and then summon him out after you and I separate."
