Went to see Little Hana again today.
She took the dried fish I brought and looked so happy...
Got scolded by that new guy, Black Bean. Feeling down...
Then I saw Little Hana and Black Bean together—right there on the tree.
She was meowing like never before... not like she ever made that sound for me...
...
Today I ran into a shadowy figure in the back mountain. From the look of him, he was definitely a member of the Uchiha clan.
I need to report this to Lord Ninja Cat. Maybe—just maybe—I'll get accepted as a ninja cat too...
After skimming through a ton of useless gossip, you finally found the memory fragment you were looking for inside Fat Orange's mind. But just as you tried to dig deeper, his mental world suddenly began to surge uncontrollably. Even with your Sharingan—now awakened to two tomoe—you couldn't continue without risking harm to him.
You were just about to retreat when you caught a faint black pattern flash across the memory. You immediately recognized it as a Mangekyō Sharingan design. It appeared too briefly to tell if it belonged to Itachi or Obito.
As you focused, trying to examine the remaining pattern more closely, a sudden red light surged toward you. Everything went black—you collapsed on the ground.
...
[10:00 AM]
You pulled out of the spiritual plane, only to find your eye power nearly depleted. On top of that, the residual force from the Mangekyō left your Spirit shaken.
Fortunately, you'd managed to gather the crucial intel and passed it on to Boss Black Cat. He was surprised to learn that someone from the Uchiha clan might possess the legendary eye.
You cautiously asked if he knew about Shisui's Mangekyō, but Boss Black Cat seemed completely unaware.
Despite knowing how the story goes, this encounter gave you a deeper, more disturbing glimpse into the madness of the Uchiha clan.
Two geniuses awakened the Mangekyō. One pinned all his hopes on Danzo's goodwill and hid his power from his own kin.
The other... well, it's debatable whether he's even human anymore.
After a brief silence, Boss Black Cat announced that he needed to return to the Ninja Cat Clan.
He told you to summon him again if needed, then vanished as the summoning jutsu was released.
You got back to training.
...
[11:00 AM]
Training resumed. In addition to the stone tied to your back, you strapped sandbags to your arms and legs and jogged laps around the field.
It was great for building Endurance and improving control over your Strength.
...
[12:00 PM – Noon]
You wrapped up your workout and grabbed a quick lunch. Then you headed to your usual fishing spot.
After a short nap under the sun, you cast your line.
...
[1:00 PM]
As usual, you tossed a few rats across the river and commanded them to dig into hiding.
You summoned Boss Black Cat again. This time, he appeared with a scroll clenched in his teeth and told you to read it yourself.
You unrolled the scroll—it was a record of Mangekyō Sharingan wielders throughout Uchiha history.
From Uchiha Fugaku onward, there was nothing: no Obito, no Shisui, no Itachi. Their Sharingan were completely absent.
So you carefully sketched all three of their Mangekyō patterns from memory and added detailed notes on each of their abilities.
Boss Black Cat stared at you in disbelief, questioning how you knew so much.
Feeling it was time to open up, you explained that your Sharingan allowed you to glimpse into the future. You claimed your mission was to save the Uchiha clan—but no one would believe you. So, you turned to the Ninja Cats.
Your detailed descriptions and your sincerity clearly shook him. After another trip back to the Ninja Cat Clan, he returned and told you:
If what you said was true, then the clan would fully support you.
You nodded calmly, then said something that silenced him.
You admitted that you wouldn't survive another seven days—maybe not even past this afternoon.
All you asked was that the Ninja Cat Clan preserve the last remnants of Uchiha blood and will after your death.
He looked stunned. "If you can see the future and even change it... why are you so certain you're going to die?" he asked.
You responded with a question of your own:
"What would you do if two Mangekyō-wielding Uchiha were coming to wipe out the Ninja Cat Clan... and you only had half a day left to act?"
Boss Black Cat fell silent, then gave a solemn nod.
...
[2:00 PM]
You fed all your caught fish to Boss Black Cat.
"I'll be back," you told him. "But next time, you won't remember me... just like when we first signed the summoning scroll."
You asked him for some kind of token or code—something that would prove your identity or speed up reestablishing trust.
Realizing you weren't joking, he spat out a white jade fishbone and wrapped it in a scrap of cloth, writing something on it in a language you didn't recognize.
You were curious about the message, but before you could ask, he wrapped the bone up tightly and warned you:
"Keep this safe. Don't lose it."
...
[3:00 PM]
Right on time, the three Root ninja arrived.
You activated the Transformation Jutsu again, hiding your Sharingan.
They spotted you—a kid fishing across the river, a black cat lounging nearby.
Suspicious, they released a sensory jutsu. But the wave passed right through you two, detecting nothing out of the ordinary.
With a glance exchanged between them, the three Root ninja began digging.
...
[4:00 PM]
While they were distracted, you used your tried-and-true method: two rats burst from the soil, targeting a different ninja this time.
You carefully guided the rats to within two steps of their target.
The moment he noticed something was off—you detonated them.
Unfortunately, the blast didn't reach the other two. The injured one, codenamed "Kawa," took the brunt of it, but the others were unharmed.
The Root agents reacted instantly. One launched a Lightning Release, another hurled a shuriken at you.
You hit the ground, rolling away to dodge the lightning, then quickly formed hand seals and unleashed your Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu—finishing off Kawa and incinerating the incoming shuriken.
Smoke billowed everywhere.
You summoned your remaining four rats, sending them crawling through the haze.
The fog blinded both sides, but then—
A deep voice echoed in your mind.
It was Boss Black Cat, linking to you via the summoning contract and guiding you with his heightened senses.
Thanks to his sharp hearing, you locked onto the remaining Root agents' positions.
With a series of explosions, the one codenamed "Yama" went down next—both legs shattered.
The first one you'd focused on, already injured and prone, was hit head-on by the fireball, then caught point-blank in a blast from your explosive rats.
The upper half of his body was blown apart.
But then—
The last one emerged. The one specialized in Speed.
Clutching a charred arm, he dashed out of the smoke, lightning flickering at his feet.
You responded instantly: another Great Fireball, plus a barrage of shuriken to cut off his retreat.
But despite his injured arm, he was fast—ridiculously fast.
Unable to form hand seals, but still lethal, he activated Body Flicker from his legs and closed the distance in seconds.
In a flash of light, his short blade slashed straight toward your neck...
