88 The Cat Village Part 4

General POV

The barrier around Shisui made it very difficult to dodge the claws and tails of the cats. His right arm was heavily bruised, and he was panting due to chakra exhaustion.

Then, with a plop, Shisui turned into a black cat with Sharingan eyes.

"Give up, Shisui Uchiha. You have lost."

Tamara went towards Shisui and grabbed him by his neck, but she noticed he wasn't struggling and the smirk on his face made her frown.

The Genjutsu hiding the other human dispelled, and Ishizu Sasaki shot forwards with a determined look. He crouched underneath the cat while he held a spiral blue orb in his hand.

"Get away from my comrade, you crazy cat. Here, have a taste of this, Rasengan!" Ishizu screamed as he hit the Rasengan into Tamara's stomach.

The cat rotated a few times as she flew into the barrier and crashed into it. The remaining cats were too shocked to move, and Ishizu used the moment to help Shisui.

"Oh ****! You turned into a cat. What do I say to the Hokage?"

"Miauu," miaued Shisui, and Ishizu widened his eyes.

Not only did he fail his mission, but he let Shisui turn into a cat. He wondered what would happen if he returns.

"What? I cannot understand you," Ishizu panicked.

How would the story progress if Shisui couldn't talk? His future knowledge could flush down the toilet.

Shisui signaled with his paw to the cat's ears and Ishizu facepalmed.

"Oh. Right. I have to wear them to understand cats."

Tamara POV

'That hurt a bit,' I groaned inside my head as I stood up and cracked my head.

Rasengan, huh? By how the chakra formed it in his hand, it looks similar to a bijuudama from the Tailed Beasts.

No wonder it gave me quite a bruise, since my fur and skin protect me from most attacks. I looked down to see a pale area and shook my head.

A few months and it should be as good as before, but this was hardly the problem. This fight should have been over by now.

Shisui Uchiha turned into a cat-like he should, yet Ishizu Sasaki remained human. I knew he used a petty Fuinjutsu mark that let him avoid consuming food, but there had to be at least a bit of change since he stayed in Cat Haven.

A finger turned to a claw or his nose being cat-like. Something had to have changed her, I couldn't find it.

Why?! How?! How did a human remain perfectly human!

How was that possible?

There was only one conclusion I could come up with. Somehow he is counteracting the change.

The question was how?

"Ishizu Sasaki. You are not a regular human, are you?"

General POV

Ishizu nodded to Shisui after talking about the plan they come up with. Ishizu grabbed his backpack and placed many things outside he finished making.

Shisui came towards Tamara, ready to fight her again despite the unfavorable circumstances he was in.

"You are going to fight me? You had no chance against me as a human. What do you think will happen if you fight me as a cat?" Tamara stared at the small cat-human in front of her.

She was the boss cat for a reason. Many cars have challenged her. One of them was Nekomata. He was still part of the clan but lost his residence in Cat Haven after a foolish challenge to marry Tamara and losing badly.

"Let's see it then. Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu."

Despite being a cat, Shisui managed to form a decent-sized fireball. Yet Tamara only needed to raise a claw where she held a Smaragd.

"Smaragd: Gem Protection."

The blue barrier easily blocked the fireball.

"Ishizu, can you please finish? I can't do this the whole time," shouted Shisui as he dodged another claw from Tamara.

"Shut up! I am already working! This takes some time," shouted Ishizu as he made finger signs.

During the fight, Ishizu looked at his equipment. He had enough time to build everything he needed. Now it was time to bring the big cat to sleep.

"Argh!" Shisui screamed as Tamara grabbed Shisui by the throat and slammed him on the ground.

"Hey, Tamara!" screamed Ishizu to gain her attention, which he managed since the cat was curious what the human would do in such a situation.

"I think you are in need of some relaxation time.

Eat this!

Ishizu Sasaki Hiden Fuinjutsu Secret (Badass) Technique: Unlimited CatNip Bombs!"

In his two hands, Ishizu held his own paper bomb, but instead of bombs, the storage seals contained specially made catnip.

Ishizu threw the catnip bombs by kunais at the cat and while the kunais did no damage the storage seals exploded, releasing a huge green cloud of catnip.

Tamara coughed as she inhaled the smoke. Now, if only it was just regular catnip then Tamara would have handled it, but who knew she was going up against a crazy person like Ishizu Sasaki who had enough time to prepare a special type of catnip if given enough time.

Everyone, from the cats in Cat Heaven to Hagoromo Otsutsuki in Limbo, watched how the human jumped high into the air; the sun shining brightly behind him, giving the onlookers a spectacle they would remember until their death and would tell to their children, so this moment would live on forever.

"I AM NOT DONE! FEAR THE POWER OF THE FUINJUTSU STRATEGIST! UNLIMITED CATNIP BOMB, HAHAHAHAHA!!!"

Shisui watched at the spectacle of a human screaming like a madman, throwing what seemed unlimited catnip bombs at the Cat Boss.

'Is everything Ishizu had in his backpack catnip or where did he get it,' thought Shisui as he watched his comrade taking out more and more catnip.

The catnip too was affected him as he felt his brain going hair-wire.

After 5 minutes, 5 Minutes!, of constant catnip bombardment, everyone was hallucinating and breathing quite heavily from the lack of oxygen and when they saw the human stopping, they thought that this was the end, but they were wrong as they watched a grin forming on Ishizu's face as he made a ram sign.

"And now... for the Great Finisher."

The reason why the cats and the humans were suffering from asphyxiation was that the gem dome Tamara created was stopping the catnip from escaping into the outside, leaving it trapped inside.

As the dome dissolved, the catnip didn't leave the area but condensed into a small ball thanks to Ishizu before exploding, expanding in every direction possible, coving the whole castle, and many things more.

This had the effect of stopping the cats outside of the dome from engaging in battle as they all started hallucinating.

Some even fell asleep and had a pleasant dream while others... well, you'll see.

"Good job, Ishizu. You won," panted Shisui as he looked at the pale face of Ishizu.

"Why are you looking like that?"

"This took a lot of chakra from me. I think I need a break," said Ishizu before falling unconscious.

Tamara POV

"Ohhhhh..... myyyy. What is this feeeeling? I have neeever feelllt soooo gooooooood," I moaned in delight as I inhaled the fragments in the air.

The feeling was so good that I wanted it to be known to everyone in Cat Haven and dissolved the surrounding barrier. I saw Sasaki-kun using this moment to compress the heavenly catnip into a giant ball.

The ball exploded, and the catnip scattered over the castle and more. I collected myself and walked up to the unconscious duo of cat and human and took them back to the castle.

I saw Shisui trying to wake Ishizu up during the walk, but the latter was out cold and didn't move one bit.

Back in the castle.

"You... are letting us go?" asked cat Shisui, confused after I told him he could leave after Ishizu woke up.

My reason? I would have a lot of soldiers in the next year. That catnip Ishizu Sasaki scattered wasn't just one for hallucinations, but it awoke our primal instincts and made both male and female cats go into heat.

I bet countless cats that lived together but for some reason didn't have sex were in bed and making out.

Believing my claims, Shisui Uchiha sighed, but my curiosity wasn't over as I glanced at Sasaki. My answer to why he never turned to a cat wasn't answered, and I wanted to know it.

I gave Shisui a lie, saying I needed to monitor Ishizu's health to let him leave so I could examine him and find the answer to my question.

First was his body. It was... average. I saw many humans that had more muscles and more scars on their bodies, so it wasn't the body.

I sniffed the air and frowned as I looked at the human closely.

Something was different with his chakra system.

My nose was special in regards that I could pick up the affinities of living beings. It also allowed me to differentiate between a male and a female, as males generally are shifting towards Yang than Yin.

The reverse summoning scroll humans used to come here protects not only them from the nature energy here, which would turn them into cat statues but also injects Yang chakra into their chakra system.

Since males have more Yang than Yin, they naturally transform much faster into a cat than a female human.

I was 100% sure there was nothing wrong with the scroll since Shisui Uchiha turned into a cat, but what makes this human different from the rest?

There were a handful of living beings that knew I was older than I looked.

I was a master Sage and to get my answer I gathered the nature energy to forcefully synchronized my chakra with Ishizu's.

If Ishizu was awake, he would be shocked to see the cat boss using a one-sided Ninshu.

With the connection a success, I found the answer to her question.

A being of perfect Yin and Yang, something I have only seen in only one other human. That being Hagoromo Otsutsuki.

No wonder the transformation never happened. His Yin part would counterattack the excessive Yang part to bring it back to an equilibrium.

This boy, whoever he was, would have a huge impact on the world.

'The pandas will be happy to find one of their own,' I smirked at the things I saw.

Ishizu POV

Chakra exhaustion sucks.

I hope something like that would not happen in the future.

Opening my eyes, an unusual sight of cat Shisui greeted me sitting on my chest.

"You are finally awake," stated Shisui, and he stretched himself.

"Get off me," I groaned, trying to sit.

"My, you are awake, Ishizu-chan."

I turned my head to see Tamara walking through the door.

I tried to move quickly but the chakra exhaustion was still on him so I fell back into the bed.

"It is alright, Ishizu. Tamara-sama agreed to help us in the war after you… eh… gave her time to think," explained Shisui getting a blush on his face after Tamara explained to him what wonderful present Ishizu gave them.

"I am glad to help. By the way, when you return home you will gain your human appearance back, so don't worry Shisui Uchiha," said Tamara.

General POV

The conflict was over and after two days of Ishizu resting, both were ready to depart.

After Shisui teleported away, Ishizu looked at Tamara.

"Do you know a human named Haru?" asked Ishizu, quite curious, wanting to confirm a theory he had in his mind.

"Hmm, my mother was named Haru, but I don't know any human by that name," responded Tamara, and Ishizu sighed before vanishing.

Minutes passed before Tamara looked back before speaking out her thoughts.

"Wait, if I remember correctly, my grandparents named my mother after a human called Haru who saved both of them. Well, can't think too much about it."

Tamra shrugged and went back to sleep.
