Even though absorbing Mangekyō Sharingan ocular power had left Uchiha Kirin physically exhausted, he was brimming with excitement. He had discovered a shortcut to rapidly enhance his ocular power—by continuously fusing the Mangekyō power brought back from the simulations!
Although the process of absorption had to be done in the real world and even came with the risk of losing his sanity...
This was the power of the Sharingan. For an Uchiha, the gains from learning new jutsu or training diligently paled in comparison to the sheer boost from unlocking and evolving the Sharingan!
Obito had been a bottom-of-the-barrel Chūnin before awakening his Mangekyō, but once he did, he was already touching the threshold of Kage-level!
As for Uchiha Kirin, his current physical attributes—aside from Speed—were all at Chūnin level, and not just any ordinary Chūnin. He was trained by Root.
In other words, once he awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, Kirin's power would spike dramatically, potentially pushing him into the realm of the Kage. Even in the worst-case scenario, if he got an underwhelming ocular technique, he would still reach at least elite Jōnin level!
He had a unique shortcut to boosting his ocular power: within the simulations, he could collect residual Mangekyō chakra imprints left behind in stray cats whose memories had been altered. By attaching these imprints to himself during the simulation, they would be brought back into the real world as rewards.
Right now, as long as he contracted Boss Black Cat, it would be far too easy to find ten or so stray cats with altered memories in the simulation.
Just the ocular power from one such cat could massively boost both his Spirit and Ocular Power. What about ten? Twenty?
It was undoubtedly faster than relying on the Loot System to gamble his life for physical stat enhancements with a not-insignificant chance of failure.
"But before that... I need to increase my Speed."
[Target for Elimination: Root Ninja - Take]
You take some time to prepare everything: dried sardines, the contract scroll for Boss Black Cat, and the token. You unroll the scroll, bite your finger, and squeeze out chakra-infused blood, successfully summoning Boss Black Cat.
Before he can get angry, you activate your double tomoe Sharingan and immediately present the token and the sardines. Along with the information you offer, Boss Black Cat remains wary but chooses—for now—to trust you, a contractor who possesses the ability to travel through time and space.
You then pull out pen and paper and quickly draw out the Mangekyō Sharingan designs of Shisui, Obito, and Itachi, including descriptions of their powers. You hand this to Boss Black Cat as proof of your sincerity in winning over the ninja cats.
Because of your various actions, the handwritten letter inside the token from Boss Black Cat to himself, and the identical gemstone, the evidence forces him to believe your claim: that you truly can traverse time, and that you're making a final effort to save the Uchiha Clan.
Boss Black Cat takes the sardines and hands over the Summoning Technique to you. He says he must leave for a while to persuade the rest of the ninja cat clan to support you. Even if he can't convince them all, he promises to do everything he can.
You make a request of your own: ask Boss Black Cat to gather every stray or ninja cat who ever reported on Uchiha Shisui's disappearance, and bring them to the remote training ground at the agreed-upon time.
After breakfast, you bid farewell to Granny Yukina and head out for a weighted morning run around the clan grounds—not to build Endurance, but to raise your Speed.
You understand time is limited, and you're determined not to waste a single second improving your abilities.
After your morning run, you eat again. As your Endurance increased, so did your appetite—your food intake has multiplied several times over.
As promised, you arrive at the training ground. But just as you're reaching the entrance, a warning echoes in your mind.
It's from Boss Black Cat. Through your contract, he tells you not to enter—the arrival of Uchiha Itachi has thrown everything off. Your large-scale gathering of stray cats in the village has drawn the attention of Itachi, who had just left home.
Even though the ninja cats can naturally suppress their chakra, their innate aura can't be hidden. Gathering so many stray cats together was bound to be noticed by someone like Uchiha Itachi.
The mental communication is suddenly cut off. In its place, a powerful ocular presence surges through the contract, as if trying to peek into your location. You quickly sever the link.
But you're already at the door—and there, standing in the training field, is Uchiha Itachi.
Fortunately, your aura is cloaked, and Itachi doesn't sense your activated Sharingan or the presence of chakra. He only glances at you once before turning his gaze back to Boss Black Cat and the others.
You can't leave, and staying feels even more dangerous. Uchiha Itachi entered Root at such a young age—not someone you can fool just by pretending to be chakra-less.
Gritting your teeth, you walk into the field and force a smile as you pull out a bag of dried sardines. You ask Itachi if he's also here to feed the cats.
Itachi quietly responds with a soft "Mm." And just like that, the two of you start feeding the cats together. The source of thɪs content is nοvelfire.net
Time passes slowly as the two of you continue feeding the cats in silence.
Boss Black Cat and the others do their best to mimic the behavior of ordinary strays. It's not enough to escape Itachi's suspicion, but it's the only chance they have of staying alive.
Itachi places a hand on your shoulder, and a vast, oppressive chakra washes over your body. Yet he finds nothing strange. To him, it seems you're just a child who happened to come here to feed some cats.
You finish feeding the last of the sardines. With a heavy heart, you walk away and return to your room at the orphanage, locking the door behind you.
The moment you decide to abandon Boss Black Cat... their fate is sealed.
A few stray cats that don't even measure up to ants in the face of a ninja—and a handful of ninja cats who might barely match a Chūnin—stand no chance against Uchiha Itachi.
Suddenly, a sharp pain rips through your chest. Something is being torn from your heart.
The contract with Boss Black Cat has broken—meaning one of you has died.
Until his final breath, Boss Black Cat never reached out to you again. Maybe he knew what was coming and chose to keep his promise to help you no matter what... even though you'd only known each other for less than a day.
A quiet flame of vengeance begins to smolder within you. The tomoe in your eyes slowly spin open on their own.
