Chapter 40

Obito is a person who can't hold back his words for too long. After holding back his words for a some time, he finally couldn't help but ask when he saw the border of Land of Fire: "Sensei, where are we going?" 

"We'll know when we get there, no need to display you are an idiot." Kakashi said coldly replied. 

"Haha... I was just wondering how long can you endure it. Well, let's go to the border near the Land of Earth. We will be responsible for guarding against sneak attacks by the Iwagakure Village and the Sunagakure Village. We are also responsible for emergency assistance." Minato ran as he ran. While answering. 

"Meow! Obito, please be steady." Takeshi was almost knocked over, and he quickly patted his mount as a reminder. It was such a bumpy ride... he was even uncomfortable lying down. 

"You can go to Kakashi." Obito complained with resentment. 

"..." Takeshi didn't reply and grabbed his shoulders. If that guy Kakashi could carry him, he would have jumped over already, for fast and steady ride, which is better than Obito.

Isn't this just suffering for himself? Of course, it is. But he also earned some points through this. Although it wasn't much, he still earned a day's worth of cat food. When away from home, While the Jonin is too good-tempered, only one Chunin and two Genin can be used to earn points, which is really sad. 

At this time, a ninja suddenly appeared on the tree in front, holding a kunai and explosive tag in his hand, looking extremely vigilant. 

"The code is..." Seeing this ninja, Minato immediately answered the code, and then the other party nodded lightly and accelerated away with the Shushin Jutsu. 

"We're just about to reach" Minato smiled. 

"Yes...yes!" Obito gasped and swallowed nervously. This is the first time in his life that he has been to the border! Rin was obviously nervous too, but she acted more composed than Obito and didn't let Takeshi notice it much. 

"Meow~ The smell of blood." Halfway through the run, Takeshi suddenly jumped off Obito's shoulder and let out alerting meow while point at one direction. 

"Let's go and take a look." Minato's eyes turned sharp and he immediately charged towards that directions. 

"Takeshi, don't lie to anyone about this kind of thing!" Rin whispered on the way. Takeshi was too young, so she was afraid that this guy would lie about army matter. That was no small matter. 

"Meow!" 

"I didn't mean to be suspicious, it's just... just... I'm sorry, let's follow up first." Rin tried to explain herself for a some time, but in the end she didn't know how to explain. She was too nervous.

Minato's team followed the smell to find the place and found that a ninja had arrived, but the other guy was unconscious and could not be ask about current situation and what happened. 

"Rin." Minato threw a special kunai and then grabbed Rin's shoulders. After using the Flying Thunder God, the two of them appeared on the around the special kunai at the same time, and instantly reached the injured and unconscious Konoha ninja. 

"Minato-sama..." 

"Heal him first." Minato waved his hand, and then signaled Rin to start healing. Takeshi jumped onto the shoulder of the Konoha Chunin who appeared to assist them. The Chunin was struct frozen and trembled abit. When he turned his head and saw the black cat head, he trembled even more... 

"Sir, what is this?" 

"Ninja Cat, meow~" Takeshi raised his paw and greeted him in very close manner. The Chunin was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly to express his understanding, but his face still couldn't stop shaking. He swallowed his saliva while continuing to talk to Minato: "Sir, he fainted just after I came here, so there is no chance of Information report, but..." 

"He is a ninja from the border of Sunagakure. I will go to check the situation right away." Minato looked back and said, "Please help take my students back to camp. If I don't come back tomorrow, I will be stuck there a little longer. Kakashi, bring Rin and Obito over to the border." 

"Yes, Sensei." Kakashi lowered his head. He had been at the border before, so of course he knew his way around here. Minato disappeared instantly. Obito wanted to follow. But he also knew that the battle over there at the border was obviously very intense, and it was not something that Genin like them who had just graduated could get involved into. 

To be honest, he was a little scared. Especially after seeing blood. Rin was also scared, but as the only medical ninja in the team, she had to be strong-willed, otherwise she would not be worthy of the responsibility of carrying the title of medical ninja. 

"Go away, I don't like cats."Chunin said as he tried to swat away Takeshi.

Takeshi was surprised and took a look at the system panel... He had more than 1,100 points, which was increased by more than 300 just by patting on his shoulder. Is it dislike? No he was afraid. This guy wears sunglasses and is dressed like a ninja from the Aburame clan - a family that raises insects and is afraid of cats, so I didn't realize that you are also a golden goose for me! 

He feels that the source of points will be settled in the future. certainly. That's not possible at the moment, as there is a patient being healed and rescued for now, so there is no occasion to cause trouble.

After a long time, Rin completed the medical treatment. She stood up and wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "I treated all external and internal injuries, but he was poisoned and I can't cure him." 

"Take him to the camp quickly, you two can help." ... After a while of busy work, the life of the Chunin was saved. Takeshi followed and later learned the name of this golden goose. Aburame Shima.

A fifteen-year-old Chunin is definitely incomparable to Kakashi, but at this age, there is still some hope of being promoted to a special Jonin in his lifetime. 

It does not matter. The important thing is that he can provide Takeshi with a lot of points. Along the way, the little black cat leaned close to him intentionally as much as he could, teasing him from time to time.

Although he had parasitic bugs, Takeshi was konoha's ninja beast, so he could not use parasitic bugs against friendly forces. 

Like Obito, Both of them are quite honest and good people! After arriving at the camp, they received soldier's food pills and temporary accommodation - the small tent they live in now.

This is a preferential treatment for newcomers. Takeshi lay at the entrance of the tent, looking at the ninjas coming and going outside, her thoughts chaotic and restless. 

After Aburame Shima arrived at the camp, he immediately went back to report. The little black cat maliciously guessed that the guy must have run away to avoid him, otherwise if he had to stay a little longer, he might be able to get a thousand points, which is not like the total of just over 800 now from him. The number was not small, but for a Chunin who was afraid of cats, there seemed to be some potential that could be tapped. 

The golden gooses are hard to find... he lies on his back, not worrying about his future safety much - with Minato leading the team, as long as it is not the battle of Kannabi Bridge, the danger should not be great. Of course, there is a premise here, that is, he didn't take big risks. Takeshi doesn't think he is would be big risks. 

He just wants to buy a new ninjutsu as soon as possible. Thanks to the help of the treasure ninja, the panel points already exceed 1,600. If he save more than 1,000, it will be enough to buy the ninjutsu.

As long as he utilize to this ninjutsu, when he increase his chances of winning in fights, he will first use a Wild Lion's Mane jutsu to catch, then use his hair to trap, then rush in, and finally slap the enemy away with Rasengan. A perfect combo. 

Therefore, on the front line, Takeshi mentioned it to the first purchase list. As for the Hell Viewing Jutsu, it has no use for now, so it is better to talk about it later. The next day, Kakashi decided to go to the Sunagakure border camp, because Minato had not returned to the camp until the morning. 

According to "mission", they had to set off. Yes, this guy has lost his mind again. 

Kakashi in the mission state and Kakashi in the non-mission state are two people. In Takeshi's opinion, this is probably a manifestation of the psychological trauma of childhood, which must be cured.

It's a pity that there is no position for a psychiatrist in the ninja world. There are countless psychological patients in every village, and Kakashi is just one of them.
