Naruto's two-color pupils

Chapter 40 Cat in the Rain

This is the first time in my life that I have seen rain in the Kingdom of Wind, and it rained so hard.

It's probably because the rain that has accumulated in the atmosphere for more than ten years has not fallen down, so the water above the Sunagakure Ninja Village has been like a waterfall all day today.I once suspected that if the house was left under such torrential rain for a few days, it would "melt" like ice cream left in the sun, but this time it really made me realize that it is not as fragile as I imagined. Our bathroom has started leaking, damn it.I have to say that this is already a blessing, there is no leakage in the living room, and even better, there is no leakage in the bedroom.This saves me a lot of energy, because I only need to put a bunch of basins in the bathroom instead of on the dining table or bed.

Unfortunately, the entire house of Shirakawa's house is leaking. From the phone, he said that water has begun to accumulate on the floor of his house.He didn't live in an apartment, there were people downstairs.He complained to me about why his ceiling was so weak that it leaked so much water, and why the ceiling of the person downstairs (and the floor of Shirakawa's house) was so strong that the water on the ground of his house could already support fish.

I was so happy that I went to his house and lifted my newly bought pants to my knees at the door before knocking on the door.The moment it started, a stream of water rushed out and I was startled.There wasn't much more water than I expected, but it did scare me.The water seemed a bit cold in the air, and the Baichuan family was exuding a chill.He was wading through the water with a tired look on his face, his clothes were all soaked, and his hair was messy and stuck to his skin. He looked like an old woman with long hair who had fallen into the water.I almost laughed out loud because of my imagination.

The sound of water dripping behind him had long merged with the loud and terrible sound of rain outside. It was really an annoying symphony.

He took out the ladder and patched his ceiling himself.He said he just needed a helper to carry his tools.So, I stood stiffly in the dirty water like a scarecrow, holding an iron tool box in my hand.Whenever he asked for something, I took out what he wanted from his near-universal box.His box is divided into many small areas, each containing fixed or similar tools, and the names of the tools are labeled on the side, but the label paper has been soaked in water and is a bit unclear.

"Vise, thank you." He said vaguely to me with a nut in his mouth, frowning slightly and looking at a piece of iron directly above which a nail had been drilled.

I scanned the box, pulled out a larger tool from the corner, and handed the end of it to his hand.His hands are cold.

He didn't look at it, just stretched his hand up, and suddenly snorted, with a puzzled look on his face.

I walked around next to him, everything was blocked by his body, and I wanted to know what was wrong, but I didn't want to ask, because it was very inconvenient for him to speak now.

It took us a long time to finish part of the work, and he said he could do the rest by himself in a day, and he also said it shouldn't rain for a long time.I laughed and said, if it keeps raining, you don't plan to stay at home all the time, do you?His answer was - of course.I asked him why and he said he hated water.In fact, I have always been very curious about rain, because it has never rained in the Kingdom of Wind before, and I have always been curious about what rain is like.Now I don’t like rain anymore. I didn’t have a big feeling about it at first, but it makes sense when Shirakawa said it - it leaks, I can’t walk, it’s dirty, everything gets wet... I also follow the herd mentality. Some, naturally they don’t like it.

But my home is fine, no leaks, no major problems.It's just that the clothes I washed for Long Tai recently can't be dried, but it should be sunny in a few days, just like Bai Chuan said.At night, I waded back through the water in the rain.The brown water was submerged up to the top of my ankles, and my shoes were filled with sand. It felt uncomfortable rubbing against the seams of my feet.Because the water flow is very fast and fast, although it is not a lot, at least it can fish, and the waves are also rolling on the water, which makes it impossible for me to walk on the water to keep myself from the water.The sky was getting dark, and the sky was covered with endless gray-black clouds, with visibility less than 300 meters.

I kept looking straight ahead, so I didn't even react when my foot touched the foreign object.At that moment, I was startled. At first, I thought that wet and furry thing was some kind of animal - but it turned out to be the body of a cat... My body and mind trembled, and my nose suddenly felt sore - that was A relatively large domestic cat with fur as colorful as a white tiger, with silver and black streaks on its body, but its fur has become damp and dirty due to the dirty water and mud.Its body is floating on the water, its face is buried in the water, and the four of them are swaying feebly with the water waves.I gulped. I was really shocked by the horrible corpse.

I don't like animals very much. One is that they are useless, the other is dirty and annoying, and it costs a lot of money to take care of them, which is very troublesome... But Mrs. Long is not like this. On the contrary, he likes small animals, especially dogs.But for various reasons I had to turn down his many requests for a dog or cat.I couldn't help but pick up the cat's body from the cold water, and held it in my arms awkwardly. Only then did I realize that it was still alive.The body is still warm, and when I put my hand on my chest, I can feel the very weak beating of my heart.I hesitated for a moment, wondering whether I should take it home.But if I really choose that, it will probably become our family pet...

I held the cat stiffly, staring at its messy silver-white and black hair...

Finally I made a decision - I want to save this life.Although it is not a human being, it is at least a living being with a soul.And since it is a domestic cat, there must be an owner nearby. I plan to find its owner after it is out of danger, or hand it over to the Animal Protection Society.Although the conditions in that place are not good, leaving the animal there may not be any better than leaving it on the street, but at least there is water and a little food that can sustain its life.

When I got home, it was already evening.

My brother seemed very happy. Even though he knew I would give the cat away, he still said he would take good care of it and enjoy the quality time with the cat.I told him to be careful because the cat was bitten after he woke up. He said that cats don’t bite casually. I was stunned for a moment, then changed my words and told him not to be bitten or something else, and he just said it absently. I got the answer.I dried the cat with a towel and took out the hair dryer I use after bathing to dry his fur.To my surprise, this cat is really special - the moment the warm wind blew through its hair, I seemed to see a kind of expression on the corner of its mouth.

A look of relief and comfort.But it didn't wake up, its eyes were closed.

Taking this opportunity, Mrs. Long taught me to observe the cat carefully - the tip of its red nose, black flesh balls, and black lips, but I didn't know what color its eyes were.After its fur was completely dry, the fur showed the beautiful luster and brilliant colors it should have in the past - the reflective silvery white and the pure black stripes interspersed in it, which matched perfectly, and the lines on the cat's body were left and right. Almost symmetrical.I was surprised and accidentally picked up a rare breed of cat.

It rained continuously for 2 days and finally stopped.Sunagakure Ninja Village once again welcomed the beautiful blue sky, dotted with a few wisps of clouds, which made people feel extremely comfortable.

The cat didn't come in looking like he was unconscious or anything...but rather, asleep.I even heard it snoring, its belly rising and falling slowly, and a happy expression on its face.From a distance, it looked like a sleeping child, gentle and sweet. Mrs. Long also liked it very much... I also began to like this cat very much.

One afternoon passed, the sun was shining brightly, and all the water on the ground had disappeared, but the sand was still steamy and still wet and hard to the touch.The cat woke up.When it slowly opened its eyes, I found that its pupils were a jade-like green, which was exceptionally green and clear, as if... eyes like this seemed to have been seen somewhere... But, I don’t remember where it was...Suddenly, I remembered - Zeren, Kaguya Zeren, emerald green, as beautiful as jade...

There was a tremor in my heart...

I was taken aback by myself.

The cat suddenly jumped up, roared, then stretched out its paws and pounced on me.At that moment, what surprised me was not that I saw a cat that I had killed alive to take revenge on me, but that what I saw was not the sight of a domestic cat clawing at people, but the sight of a tiger opening its mouth fiercely, full of murderous intent. .I was surprised and quickly pushed away the chair and stepped away.It fell to the ground nimbly, not at all like a small animal that had just escaped the danger of life and death, but like a ferocious wild monster that had been recharging its energy for a long time before it began to explode with strength.It immediately raised its claws and rushed towards me. Because I was afraid of being scratched accidentally, I waited until its body was only a few centimeters away from me, then I ducked past it and took a few steps back.The hair on its back stood up, making its body even larger.

That is not the nervous feeling that ordinary animals give people, but... murderous aura...

My intuition told me that this was not a cat, but a cat beast, that is, an animal that was not of pure cat blood.It was probably a mixture of cats and other ferocious cats, so it gave people such a murderous and depressing feeling... When I realized that the animal in front of me was not an animal that humans could tame, I gave up.I watched it warily and slowly moved back.It also moved with my steps, and in my direction.

Finally, I opened the door quickly, and it ran out very quickly and never came back.I watched the silver and black figure disappear in the sand from a distance, its body trembling and running as if flying.I felt a little disappointed in my heart, but after all, animals are animals, not humans.They have never and will never have the rich emotions of humans, and will not know things like gratitude or repayment.I don’t have any hope anymore, even though I’m still very disappointed inside.

I hope we can meet again next time...

About a week after arriving, Mrs. Long also started school.Today is July 7th, the first day of school.The troublesome thing is that I have to send Ryuuta to school, because Shuichi went back some time ago, so he didn't know anything about the cat, and he was no longer here at that time.I saw Yu Mo at the school gate. She still raised her face proudly. After glancing at me, she laughed and talked about me with the people around her.After I said goodbye to my brother, he walked into the classroom with great expectations.I walked out to the school gate and looked at the long-lost school gate - the earthy yellow school, no different from other buildings.But, this is a place where I grew up.Perhaps, I have experienced countless unsatisfactory and unpleasant things here, but what this place has brought me more is growth and joy.Here, I got to know many people—Ze, Jiubonlang, Shaowen...many, many friends.

Looking back at this school again, I almost cried.The thought of leaving here makes me sad.I have spent several years of campus life here, and no matter how novel things are, they have become commonplace, but I like this place... at least, I like this place...

Just when I turned my head, I heard a friendly voice: "Xiaoyue! Long time no see..."

I turned around and saw a young man with dark green shoulder-length hair standing behind me, looking directly at me with a gentle but somewhat unspiritual look, closing his eyes and smiling.He was a head shorter than me, dressed in formal clothes, and had one hand on his collar.He looks like a young lady, but he is actually a big brother who is older than me.On the surface, she looks innocent, cute, and lovable, but in fact... no matter what she does, she always has the same method.He is known as the school's exclusive school boy, Harada-san, who is famous for his pure appearance and gentleness on the outside but tough on the inside.

"Um..." I was shocked, "Harada-san, long time no see..."

He looked very happy, smiled crookedly and said, "Has Xiaoyue become a genin?"

"Ah."

"Then you come here...do you miss it?"

"No, I'm sending my brother to school." I answered him.

"Is that so?" He laughed again.

I really want to leave quickly, but I can't because I'm afraid that it will make him feel that I don't like him and make him feel disappointed.I believe he will be disappointed, but he may not show it.I have always felt that Harada is a very powerful person, and he always has a calm expression.I still remember that Kumotoro used to play a prank and hid Harada's marker under the trash can at the training ground and buried it there.Later, Harada walked up to me with his palms clasped and asked me with a very apologetic expression: "I'm sorry to bother you with your homework, Satsuki, have you seen my marker?" I knew it was Kumotoro who did it. It's a good thing, but I didn't dare to say it, so I answered him: "I don't know... will it fall on the ground?" But he said something that made me confused: "No... but thanks to the lost marker, I was there An abandoned rat's nest was found under Ogawa's (and Shirakawa's) seat." Later, Kumotoro came, and he happily watched Harada ask me about the marker, and then asked him: "What's wrong? Did you lose the marker?" Harada immediately turned his head and looked at him gently and kindly, and took out a marker pen from his pocket: "No, no, you have to worry about it. I have found it."
