52 Chapter 52

"Nonsense!" Sage Fukasaku scolded, then jumped in front of the little black cat, stretched out his hand and felt it carefully. Jiraiya stood aside and couldn't help but feel nervous.

When they came to him, he patted his chest in front of Minato and the little girl to ensure that he would be able to help little cat. If he couldn't be cured in the end, he would lose abit of respect. 

"Strange, really strange." Fukasaku Sennin stopped his hand, walked around Takeshi a few times, and then sat in front of it and said, "This child's natural energy is being digested, but the natural energy is extremely overbearing, and ordinary creatures will not understand after absorbing it. The method of assimilated will be controlled by the natural energy..." 

"Like our frog transformation and petrification in Mt. Myouboku ?" Jiraiya asked immediately. 

"Yes, but his body has not absorbed any excess energy, so his life is not in danger. He will wake up after sleeping for three or four days at most." Fukasaku stood up, turned around and looked at Jiraiya before preparing to go back. 

"Wait, will there be other changes in him?" Jiraiya quickly grabbed the old sage to prevent him from getting away in an instant. 

Fukasaku thought for a while and said: "If he digests more quickly, he may grow faster. There is nothing else. Anyway, there is no worry about his life." Everyone on Mt. Myouboku absorbs natural energy, and they have a clear understanding of how the body reacts after absorbing natural energy. Cats like this one get bigger after digesting the natural energy in their bodies. 

"Oh, that's good, that's good..." Jiraiya breathed a sigh of relief. He wouldn't lose any respect. In fact, there was a little girl waiting at the camp. It was already difficult for him to return to his tent with a still unconscious black cat in his arms. 

Without any solutions beforehand, he was afraid that he would be torn down when he returned emptyhanded. Of course, Rin couldn't do such a thing. But he instinctively put Rin in Tsunade's position. 

"Then I'll leave." Fukasaku shook off Jiraiya's hand and disappeared, returning back to Mt. Myouboku . Jiraiya went back with the black cat in his arms, Rin was still waiting in the camp, and Minato was handling army affairs for his Sensei while waiting for Jiraiya to come back. 

Seeing him returning to the camp, the little girl immediately rushed up and hugged him, but found that her cat had hardly changed at all. He looked the same as when she gave him to Jiraiya, and looked the same when he got it back. She looked up confusedly. 

"Well... the Sage said that he will wake up on his own within three or four days at most, and the process he is going through will be beneficial and harmless, but he may grow a little faster after waking up." Jiraiya scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed. 'I made a lot of promises when I left, but when I came back I didn't get anything done, I just brought back a message to wait for him to wake up...' This is no different from just waiting. But Rin was very satisfied, at least knowing that Takeshi was fine, this was enough to give her peace of mind. 

Jiraiya felt quite ashamed, but he couldn't understand natural energy, and he couldn't say anything more here. He could only say whatever Fukasaku said. The little black cat didn't wake up, so Minato and his team had another small mission. They put the little black cat under Jiraiya's care. The little black cat didn't eat or drink while he was in a coma, and he didn't actually need extra care. 

Until the night of the third day. Takeshi woke up leisurely, looked up and saw the familiar roof of the tent. Then he jumped on the table and saw a white-haired man lying on a simple bed not far away. Jiraiya! 'Am I in Jiraiya's tent? No, why am I here? I ate a luxurious cat food before... I only ate small quantity though. ' 

'Did the cat food poison me? ' He thought to himself. Why are there so many deceptive things on Shop? Why did he suddenly faint after eating them? Takeshi didn't quite understand. He moved again on the table, feeling that his body was a little weird and uncomfortable. 

How long has he slept? he was confused, and when he saw Jiraiya was still sleeping, he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable at not knowing the answer, so he jumped off the table and ran to Jiraiya's bed, staring at Jiraiya's face, hesitating for a moment... 

Whack! 

"Huh? Who!" Jiraiya sat up and took out a kunai from beside the pillow. He couldn't see clearly at first. After all, the black cat's fur was dark and he was difficult to see clearly in the dark night.

Takeshi shrank his head. In fact, he didn't want to hit him just now, but when he saw Jiraiya turning sideways, he couldn't help but hit him. He didn't want to either. The next moment, Jiraiya stared at him and grabbed him from the edge of the pillow. "Boy, why did you hit me?" 

"Meow~" 

"Speak!" 

"Meow... I want to ask, what's wrong with me?" Takeshi looked up in embarrassment. After hearing this, Jiraiya put him down angrily, got up and went to the side to wash his face with a basin of water. 

After sobering himself up for a while, he exhaled and said, "You have absorbed natural energy and cannot use it, so you passed out. Fortunately, the amount absorbed was not large, otherwise you would have died long ago." 

"Natural energy?" Takeshi was surprised. It's really surprising that I get natural energy from eating cat food. Could it be that luxury cat food is just to help you obtain natural chakra? One thousand points... 'It's worth it, but I don't seem to be able to digest it quickly yet. After eating one portion, I fell asleep for three or four days. I don't know if there are any other options yet.' It's a pity that there is no mirror, otherwise even if it is worth a thousand, there is nothing that cannot be exchanged. Takeshi sat down and asked Jiraiya a few more questions. 

Jiraiya was very generous and would not hold grudges because of the small slap before. He would explain it after getting over his annoyance. "Natural energy has many benefits. You will gradually grow bigger and stronger, and live longer. But the disadvantage is that it is difficult to digest, and mutations will occur if you take in too much." 

" You're lucky that you only absorbed a little bit. If not, you might have turned into stone by now." Jiraiya was very emotional. There are countless sage practitioners who have turned into frogs and petrified on Mt. Myouboku. Most of them are caused by absorbing too much natural energy at once and losing control. This kitten is already lucky since he is not dead. 

"..." Takeshi broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this, and he almost died because of abit of food. This luxury cat food is really deceptive. Although it has many benefits, I really have to bear a lot of risks if I want to eat it. It is better to wait until the natural energy in my body is completely digested. But here's another problem... 

"Then how do you tell if you've digested it completely?" 

"Your big belly has subsided and it's almost digested." Jiraiya patted Takeshi's body and motioned for him to see. Looking at himself. Takeshi turned around and glanced - so fat! The meat is all fat in the belly, just a bit did this at once ? So, this cat needs to lose weight again? 

"Okay, don't disturb me. I need to have a good sleep. I was woken up by your slap and I haven't had a good rest yet." Jiraiya yawned, then lay down on the bed and went back to sleep. Takeshi lay on the table, feeling very melancholy. 

On the other hand, he also thought about Gamabunta and the others. Such a large physique must be related to the natural chakra. If I keep eating luxury cat food, will I become that kind of giant cat in the future? While being big is good, being small is preferable. 

Big trees attract the wind. If he could be smaller, Takeshi would rather be smaller. After becoming bigger, who can he hide behind?
