Chapter 1: A black Cat blocking the Road
On Konoha's Street, I, a black cat, rested on the wall beside the road. I was a stray cat, but since yesterday, I had been a little different. A human soul named Qian Ming was attached to me, the half-year-old black cat, granting me the intelligence of a human being.
I didn't know how I had died. I only remembered seeing a bullying black cat blocking the road that afternoon, which was hit by a car. When I woke up the next day, I had become a cat. Although I retained my memory and human consciousness, I couldn't speak.
Fortunately, I had a "System" that could change the life of cats—the Bully system.
Host: Kuro
Age: Half a year old
Points: 32
Chakra: None
Abilities: Claw, slaughter, soft body (Innate abilities)
Inventory: Fish x1
The System Shop had many items, but they were so expensive that Kuro dared not open it. The cheapest special cat food costs 100 points. It was said that eating this food could improve a cat's physical fitness and even transform it into a ninja cat if consumed year-round.
Although it sounded promising, compared to other products, it was still quite useless. The "metamorphosis pill" was worth 1,000 points, and it could enable a cat to use chakra, turning me directly into a ninja cat.
In addition to these choices, the market offered other products like Immortal Teachings and Immortal Pills, but they were exorbitantly expensive.
Furthermore, there was a lottery function with one hundred points I could use to draw one round, rewarding an extra round for every ten consecutive rounds.
Regrettably, with only thirty-two points at hand, I realized I had a long way to go and couldn't afford much. To improve my situation and score more points, I had to resort to "doing evil"—also called bullying.
I guiltily glanced at the owner of a sushi restaurant nearby, who was looking around vigilantly, and decided not to steal his fish today, but to target another victim.
At that moment, a young boy wearing goggles rushed over in a panic.
Obito Uchiha?
Jackpot, an easy target.
I licked my paws, then jumped, suddenly jumping into the middle of the road.
"Meow~"
A fierce, angry cry.
"Don't get in the way, kitty, I'm going to be late..."
Obito was furious. Although it's almost normal for him to be late for class, who likes to be punished for being late?
"Meow!"
I roared again. I considered myself very imposing, with the strength of a tiger roaring in the mountains and forests, but...
I forgot that I was only a half-year-old kitten.
The half-year-old cat has only just acquired the ability to survive independently and is still in the kitten stage. The meowing and ferocity really don't match, and no matter how imposing I felt, I still looked tiny.
So Obito was not angry. He was just anxious and wanted to go around, but the cat was very fast and kept blocking his path.
"Please let me pass, I'm going to be late, I don't want to be punished again!"
Obito is desperate. However, even so, he still didn't want to kick me violently or something but instead begged for mercy to a tiny kitten... as expected of Obito.
It's a pity that he would be manipulated by Madara in the future...
I sighed. Then, I heard a bell, which was the sound of the Ninja Academy starting classes - Obito was late.
At the same time, on the system panel:
"Prank 'Blocking Cat' is complete." "You get a reward of 150 points."
I felt sorry. For the sake of 150 points, I could only grieve his loss.
I felt apologetic in my heart, silently gave way, and planned to let Obito pass. But then I thought about it, I was still a homeless cat, wouldn't it be beautiful if I could stay with Obito? Obito is so kind and good-natured; he is a living glitch for farming points.
Well… It was worth a consideration.
I pondered for a moment, and Obito rushed over with relief, but after running a few steps, he came back: "Little cat, thank you, I'll treat you to dried fish when I get out of class."
'Stupid human, you are late.'
I complained in my heart. As a cat, my hearing is much stronger than that of humans, so I heard the bell, but Obito didn't know that he is late.
Seeing that Obito was about to run far away, I quickly stepped up to catch up. Don't run away, future servant! Obito is very fast, and I'm only a half-year-old kitten after all, speed is definitely not my strength. Fortunately, Obito is not a genius.
Hmm, barely able to catch up.
The gate of the Ninja Academy was about to close, and Obito quickly squeezed in and rushed towards the classroom, while I leisurely jumped onto the wall and elegantly followed Obito's path.
'Lightness and agility are probably the only benefit of transmigrating into a cat.' I secretly said in my heart.
After a while, Obito ran into the classroom. He saw a group of people sitting and listening to the lecture, and he immediately realized that he would face the tragic fate of "standing guard" again. but… He still had to explain: "Sorry Sensei, I am late because a black cat blocked my path."
Black cat blocking his path?
In an instant, the classroom burst into laughter. The teacher on the stage, Shiranui-Sensei, fell silent, how big had a black cat to be to stop you, a big living person... He didn't know how to speak for a while.
This is the most bizarre and outrageous lie ever told since Obito went to school. "I, I didn't lie!" A blush formed on his face.
The next second, a cat appeared and jumped on his shoulder by borrowing the windowsill. Looking at the students in the room, I licked my paws, and then gave a fierce "meow".
I actually wanted to make a "roar" sound, but I could only make this soft and tiny voice without strength in my throat.
"Sensei, look, it's this cat!"
Obito was overjoyed, as if he had caught the culprit. "Hahahaha, this is hilarious."
"Obito is so stupid, that cat isn't even a year old, right?"
"As expected of the failure of the Clan, even if you can't get around it, you still are a ninja. You put shame on the name of the Uchiha Clan again."
The hall was full of laughter, and the people who were laughing with anger were naturally members of the Uchiha Clan.
The half-year-old cat actually stopped a Uchiha clansman, and Obito was too scared that he would become a laughing stock again if he said it. Obito blushed, not knowing what to say.
It was really a black cat blocking the way... Shiranui-Sensei sighed and said, "Okay, everyone, don't laugh, Obito is just a little kinder... Go back to your seat and listen to the lecture, but put that cat outside first."
"Yes, thank you, Sensei." Obito suddenly became happy again. He thought he was going to stand and listen, but he didn't expect to be able to sit down—this was the first time he was late and was not punished.
I was very satisfied. Although I didn't finish the prank just now, I still got more than 70 points based on my previous "blocking cat" task, and now I had more than 250 points to spend. I had saved up a quarter of what I needed for the "Metamorphosis Pill".
A System for scoring points by pulling pranks is really useful! I was lying outside the door, quietly staring at Shiranui-Sensei giving his lecture. Shiranui-Sensei was talking about the subject of gathering chakra and its precise control. I felt that the course was very useful to me. After all, sooner or later, I would become a ninja cat, and this knowledge was equivalent to skipping the technology tree in advance. Humans are very different from cats, but most of the chakra fundamentals were similar.
After listening to it for a long time, I felt that I had learned a lot, and even tried to extract Chakra - unfortunately, cats are different from Human's, and there is no way to extract chakra according to the human method.
For now, let's focus on grinding points.
