Chapter 8 C8
Things took an even stranger turn.
Itachi may have initially only hoped that she could find a way to survive through Sasuke, but later, it subtly evolved into an obsession.
No one can resist such an adorable Sasuke cat. No one can.
Even Hyuga Kana is not allowed.
In response, Kana said: Have you ever considered that I could also... not be human?
Itachi: ...
Itachi's obsession manifests in how, after their daily training, he would always leave a shadow clone to watch over her and prevent her from running away, while his main body would go and fetch his brother to wander around in front of her, trying to make her personally experience the beauty of Sasuke the cat through more contact.
Kana did struggle with it; she once said, "Yes, you're right," and also lied to herself, saying, "Yes, yes, it's cute."
However, the strict Judge Itachi ruled that he was guilty of "perfunctory work" and "not loving cats." Damn it, instead of being sentenced to one of the more serious crimes, he was punished for multiple crimes and his sentence was extended. His painful life continued.
I don't like cats or dogs, and I'm indifferent to all kinds of furry things. Kana is flexible and adaptable: Please leave me alone.
Shisui's home was in a relatively remote part of the Uchiha clan's territory. Sometimes, he would secretly take her to his home by taking a shortcut.
Compared to Shisui, who likes to rub his head, Sasuke seems more interested in this person who always keeps his distance.
Shisui was very envious.
Why is it that this person can gain Sasuke's "favor" without having to please the cat at all?
Sasuke, who was just beginning to learn to crawl, coldly and ruthlessly rejected Shisui's outstretched hand and headed towards Kana without hesitation.
Both those who liked it and those who didn't remained silent.
Zhi Shui collapsed to the ground, jealousy twisting his mind: "Why does he like you more? I'm clearly closer to him."
Kana calculated precisely that Sasuke's cat would take three steps forward and then she would move back one step, determined not to let the cub's paws touch her even a little bit, while still remembering to reply to Shisui: "It's probably because people are always pursuing things they can't get in their lives."
Who knows how her cat-loving nature from her past life ended up here? It's been like this for a long time. Whenever she encounters a cat on the street, she always tries to avoid it with the idea of "keeping to herself." But those cats, whether they're addicted to catnip or something, just keep coming up to her.
So many people in the world love them, but these cats are still not satisfied, as if determined to prove their charm by conquering this innocent person.
Felines, like humans, have their flaws too.
“Children, like small animals, are very sensitive to danger,” Shisui decided to forget her Versailles-style statement that would be condemned by all cat lovers if she said it out loud, “probably because she knows Kana won’t hurt them.”
Although he had a cold face and clearly didn't like it, he still managed to cover Sasuke's sharp corner with his hand when Sasuke almost bumped into it, and he reached out to pull Sasuke back and change his direction when Sasuke was about to fall off the edge of the corridor because he couldn't control his direction.
People are easily misled by words, but actions are often more important than empty talk.
"Ha, just men's sweet talk." Kana sneered. "It won't affect me at all."
Further back, they encountered an obstacle. Kana watched as Sasuke Neko staggered towards her. Perhaps sensing her attention, Sasuke Neko slowly revealed a silly grin, generously showing her his only lower incisor. As if encouraged, he flapped his arms and legs even more vigorously.
She sat on the ground and tried to turn directly, but was surprised to find that her body simply wouldn't obey her commands.
It felt as if a powerful force was pressing down on her shoulders, forcibly pinning her to the ground, rendering her unable to move. She watched in horror as the tiny figure slowly approached her.
This shouldn't be the case; I'm clearly not the kind of person who says one thing but does another.
Otherwise, why would people say that the Uchiha clan always produces elites?
In just a few months, Uchiha Sasuke had already learned to seize opportunities, taking advantage of her momentary daze to grab her crossed legs.
Kana was so shocked that she was unable to fight back against the cunning cub's attack. All she could think about was: I'm dirty, I'm not clean anymore.
Sasuke grabbed Kana's shirt and tried to climb up, but the strength of a child under one year old is limited, and the fabric could not provide him with any support. He was about to fall backward and land on his bottom.
Out of humanitarian spirit, Kana bent down and reached out to grab him, but this kid took advantage of the situation, loosened his grip on her clothes, and opened his arms to her.
It turned into an unexpected hug.
The body in my arms was warm, small, and soft...
...and it was drooling filthy saliva!
Kana, holding the tired Sasuke nestled in her arms, turned around and glared resentfully at the "culprit" behind her who had let out that hateful laugh.
She shrugged, signaling Itachi Uchiha to let go.
She said that a successful senior partner in a law firm would never be fooled by the mere appearance of Uchiha Neko, so why would she surrender and stay put?
It was all because of this brotherly brother who had no sense of martial ethics and was obsessed with his younger brother, who pretended to need to use the restroom and then attacked from behind. It was also because Sasuke and Nekomamushi suddenly launched a sprint that he was giving instructions by hand gestures from behind.
Two against one, shameless, pshaw.
“I lost this time,” Kana said, shaking her head from side to side to avoid Sasuke’s hand that was trying to touch her face, and threatened Itachi, “but maybe not next time.”
…
...
"Uchiha Shisui, you're not allowed to laugh!!"
"Let's duel!" he said, handing the baby in his arms to his brother, only to find that the other brother did not take it.
Uchiha Itachi gave a fake smile. "Don't try to fool me. Now it's my turn."
"..." How do you still remember? Your cutest Bean in the world is right in front of you, and you're still thinking about Shisui's special training? What, Sasuke Cat is the best? It was just a lie to steal Shisui's (tutoring lessons) from me, wasn't it?
Although Shisui is only eleven years old, he is already a renowned genius in Konoha. Kana has no doubt that in the near future, he will become a famous figure on this land.
Receiving his face-to-face intensive training is far more effective than her and Weasel engaging in a battle of wits.
Unfortunately, he has many missions and is often away from the village, so this kind of opportunity becomes very rare.
Just before the halftime break, Shisui was instructing Kana on illusion techniques.
The two of them chatted back and forth in the courtyard, while Kana was forced to stay on the veranda to take care of the child :)
The system begged and cried, offering her a reward, but she still refused to take Hyuga Neji along. See, even the heavens don't forgive everyone :)
She gritted her teeth and began to smear Sasuke's brother's image in her mind: "You must never become a liar like your brother in the future."
Sasuke tilts his head: Meow meow meow?
Taking care of a child is so boring.
While lost in thought, Kana had a sudden inspiration and came up with a brilliant solution. She turned Sasuke around so that he was facing her instead of the open space, and lifted him up by putting her hands under his armpits.
Hmph, the foolish cat is still grinning, completely unaware that danger is quietly approaching.
Kana decided to use the "bloodline suppression" of nature to teach this ignorant brat a lesson, and it would be best if he never came looking for her again.
She brought her face closer, directly facing Sasuke, narrowed her eyes slightly, began to bare her teeth, and emitted a threat befitting a member of the upper echelons of the food chain—
"Awooo~~~"
Sasuke was clearly terrified and froze on the spot, with some clear liquid starting to ooze from the corner of his mouth.
The next second, he became even more excited and started dancing around.
Kana: ...Is it because I didn't imitate it well? I don't believe it.
"Awooo~~~"
"Giggle giggle giggle..."
Beyond the frustration of the less-than-expected results, Kana discovered a more serious problem. She said seriously to Sasuke, "Uchiha Sasuke, you're a cat. Cats can't laugh like that. You look like a chick."
Sasuke: "Hiccup hiccup hiccup..."
"wrong……"
"Hiccup hiccup hiccup..."
I was pleased to have kept a close eye on Shisui while giving instructions: Kana always says she hates children, but she's quite good at coaxing them.
