Uchiha's road to the top started from Konoha

Chapter 29: The Girl Who Even a Cat Thinks Is Pretty
On the other side, in the Konoha Embassy, ​​Minamoto Kazuhiko knocked gently on Minamoto Kaori's door. After two or three seconds of silence, he found that there was no response, so he shook his head and left.

The most beautiful daughter of a daimyo is not necessarily the most favored daughter.

Her fate was already sealed.

"Meow."

After Gen Kazuhiko left, a cat's meow was heard outside the window of the room.

Tachibana placed its front legs on the window sill, stepped on the wall with its hind legs, and squatted down like a cat. It peeked into the house, and in its eyes was reflected a girl who even a cat thought was super pretty.

The girl sat quietly by the bed, wearing a twelve-piece dress with a black base. The fine fabric was decorated with colorful flowers, and her waist was tied into a bow with a bright red belt.

Those bright colors combined with pure black appear elegant, noble and solemn.

But that luxurious feeling was completely suppressed by Minamoto Kaori's cool breath.

Her waist-length hair, as black as ink, was naturally draped behind her waist. Her hairstyle was neat and tidy, and the short hair on both sides of her bangs naturally hung on both sides of her face, making her face look white, delicate and petite.

Under the long and thick eyelashes are a pair of large, clear blood-red eyes with a calm and natural look.

A breeze blew, and under the sunlight outside the window, the girl's hair lifted gently, gleaming with a raven feather-like luster, which was indescribably dreamy and gorgeous.

"Meow."

Tachibana continued to shout, and Minamoto Kaori, who looked over at the voice, moved her eyes slightly, but she still sat quietly on the bed, and even closed her eyes.

(This is different from the information given by the Nekomata clan leader.)
(Doesn’t Princess Kaori like cats?)

(Could it be that you don’t like this one?)

Somewhat unwillingly, Juza jumped into the house and landed on the wooden floor with a thud, the fat on his body undulating like waves.

Pfft!

The sudden crisp laughter made Kikko's cat face slightly red.

Tachibana stood there in silence for a while, looking intently at Minamoto Kaori, who still had her eyes closed but her dense eyelashes were trembling. The man and the cat tacitly acted as if nothing had happened.

(This is Master Wuan’s mission.)
Muttering to himself, Kikkoman walked to the girl's feet with a true cat step, put aside his cat dignity, and began to rub her with his head.

For a moment, the whole house was filled with the soft and sweet meowing of kittens.

Minamoto Kaori opened her eyes, and her blood-jade eyes quietly watched Tachibana's performance. Her little hands, hidden by her sleeves, were slightly clenched, and her heart was beating fast.

Ever since she left Daming Prefecture, the kitten that always came secretly to play with her has disappeared. Now when she sees the cute orange cat, she really wants to hold it in her arms.

However, when she thought about marrying an Uchiha, marrying those bloody ninjas who live on the edge of a knife, kill people without blinking, and kill again when they blink, she felt that her life was like that of a bird in a cage, and became even more unfortunate.

(It would be nice to have this cute little fat cat.)
(But I can’t harm the little fat cat. Those Uchiha ninjas drink human blood and eat human flesh every day, and they will definitely not let such a cute little cat go!)
(Just go to hell alone, don’t hurt the cat!)

All the knowledge about ninjas was taught by the palace servants. In Minamoto Kaori's mind, she has already outlined a demon ninja husband who is two meters long and two meters wide, with a bloody mouth, four eyes, a hideous face, and black hair all over his body. She couldn't help but look resentful in her eyes.

After a while, seeing that this trick didn't work, Tachibana meowed cutely a few times, then rolled over and revealed his chubby white belly to Minamoto Kaori.

She didn't believe that this trick couldn't deal with a human girl.

This is the cat's secret technique that has only been used on Uchiha Takean!
The light effect of Tachibana's belly was outstanding. Minamoto Kaori opened her eyes wide, stretched out her little hand from her sleeve, then retracted it, then stretched it out and retracted it again, leaving Tachibana stunned.

"Meow?"

"...Go away, cute little fat cat."

(Little...fat cat?)

(This is plump!)
(Do you know what plump means?)
(Master Wu An will not like a boneless monster like you.)
Looking at Minamoto Kaori who suddenly felt sorry for herself, in order to perfectly complete the task assigned by Uchiha Takean, Tachibana suppressed her anger, turned over and sat up. She wanted to see what Minamoto Kaori wanted to say.

"Meow?"

Looking at the cute cat with its head tilted, Minamoto Kaori resisted the urge to touch it. The cat's lively eyes seemed to be able to speak, making her want to confide in it.

"Little cat, do you know that I am about to obey my father's orders and marry a man I have never met." Ju Zuo nodded - I knew it was Lord Wuan.

"Men have unparalleled power."

Juza nodded again - that's right, Lord Wuan is the strongest!

"But the man is a murderer."

Juza nodded and then began to shake his head, thinking back to the time when his owners were either on their way to kill someone or were killing someone, the cat's face became serious in a human way - that's right, Lord Wuan was a murderer!
"I also heard that the man is invulnerable to swords and guns, water and fire, has a body like a demon, is extremely fierce, and eats two boys and girls every day."

"Meow?"

"Most importantly, men like to eat pussy!"

"You're even more bullshitty than Meow!"

The atmosphere in the room suddenly fell into dead silence. Tachibana covered her mouth with her hands, feeling very annoyed - she was planning to lurk beside Minamoto Kaori so that she could gather intelligence at any time, but now that she spoke, her plan was ruined.

Minamoto Kaori stared blankly at the orange cat that spoke human language. Her eyes became brighter and brighter, and it seemed that five-pointed stars were about to appear in them.

"The talking fat cat!"

"I'm not a fat cat!"

Without any princess' demeanor at all, Minamoto Kaori stood up suddenly. When she wanted to hug Tachibana, she saw the orange cat nimbly jump from under her arms with light movements, and turned back to give her a cold and disdainful look.

"Don't go, kitty."

"do not go?"

"Foolish human princess, I was willing to get close to you because I had a mission to accomplish. Now that the mission has failed, you are no longer useful!"

Tachibana-sama stood proudly on the table in the room, looking up at Minamoto Kaori, ready to teleport away at any time, and snorted, "Are you going to stop meow? Human princess."

"No."

"Ran Ye... meow?"

"Can you tell me your name? Can I see you again? Can you chat with me later?"

The three consecutive questions made Tachibana a little overwhelmed. At the same time, he sensed Uchiha Takean approaching, so he turned around and ran towards the window.

"Oh, that's the third floor. It's dangerous."

Minamoto Kaori hurriedly chased after it, and watched from the window as the orange cat climbed over the eaves and walls, and then threw itself into the arms of a handsome young man. Their eyes met in the air, causing Minamoto Kaori, who seldom looked into the eyes of a man, to nervously close the curtain by the window.

After blocking the line of sight, Minamoto Kaori patted her chest and heard an anxious voice coming from outside the door.

"Princess, are you okay?"

Minamoto Kaori took a breath and replied calmly, "It's okay, what's wrong?"

"Please don't go out casually. Bad things are happening in Konoha now."

(Bad things?)
I hadn't noticed it before, but Minamoto Kaori suddenly remembered that the boy was followed by a large group of murderous ninjas. She was worried about the orange cat's safety and replied, "I know, you can go down."

Hearing the footsteps receding, Minamoto Kaori carefully pulled open a corner of the curtains, and peeked at the rectangular barrier not far away that was covered by purple transparent flames, worry in her eyes.

"I hope nothing happens to the little fat cat."

"Besides, is that boy the owner of the little fat cat?"

"There seems to be an Uchiha clan emblem on his clothes."

Minamoto Kaori realized something, and two blushes appeared on her cheeks. She murmured, "People who are liked by cats can't be bad people."

"So, the Uchiha are good people."
