Catching Kittens Is Too Tiring!

Chapter 3: [Catching a Kitten is Too Exhausting!]

[Option Mission Complete, Energy +0.1.]

"The mission is already complete?"

Hyuga Bin, who had just passed by Orochimaru, was a little surprised.

After all, the first option mission had triggered a chain of quests, but this time the option directly gave a reward. The difference was undeniable.

However, the 0.1 increase in energy seemed too small, and Hyuga Bin didn't feel any different.

"The more ordinary the option mission, the easier it is to complete, and the more rewarding the mission, the harder it is. So next time, I must think carefully and not just choose based on the rich rewards, but also consider the possibility of the mission..."

After a period of analysis and imagination, Hyuga Bin felt he somewhat understood the system's tendencies.

Returning to the clan grounds, after finishing his training, Hyuga Bin circled Konohagakure once more, but no system option missions were triggered.

This made Hyuga Bin realize that triggering option missions wasn't something he could do at will; it depended on "luck."

By dusk, Hyuga Bin returned home, took off his shoes, and entered the house: "Father, Mother, I'm home."

At this moment, Hyuga Bin's father, Hyuga Masato, was out at a gathering and not home.

Hyuga Bin's mother, Hyuga Rei, carried a soup to the dining table and gave her returning son a gentle smile: "Dinner will be ready soon, you sit for a while."

"Okay."

Hyuga Bin responded and leaned back in his chair to rest.

He had spent half the day at the training hall with some of the younger girls from the Hyuga Clan, and he was a bit tired.

Hyuga Bin's transmigration hadn't resulted in the typical "parents sacrificed for boundless power" trope found in transmigration novels.

His life was going quite well; his clothes were washed, meals were cooked, he didn't have to do chores, and his life at home was even more relaxed than before he transmigrated.

His father, Hyuga Masato, was a Jonin of Konoha, and his mother, Hyuga Rei, was a clan ninja who wasn't on the Konoha ninja registry and had retired early after becoming pregnant. She was currently a housewife.

Because his father, Hyuga Masato, was a Jonin, Hyuga Bin didn't lack money. The small amount needed to treat Uchiha Obito to dango was nothing to him.

Of course, within the clan, he was also liked by the older generation due to his diligence and decent talent.

It could be said that currently, besides enduring the constant scrutiny of the Byakugan, he was living quite comfortably. All he was missing was a Huawei Mate 40 Pro Porsche Edition.

Nights without a phone were truly difficult to endure.

After dinner, Hyuga Bin chatted with Hyuga Rei for a while before washing up and going to bed.

He slept soundly until the next morning. Hyuga Bin woke up early and began his daily morning exercise: running.

After running a lap around the familiar clan grounds, Hyuga Bin passed by the house of an elder of the clan, Hyuga Kei, for the second time. He saw Hyuga Kei by the entrance, looking anxious and searching everywhere, clearly having lost something important.

As the warm-hearted Hyuga Bin was about to go over and ask, a new option appeared in his mind.

[Option A: Actively help Hyuga Kei find her lost kitten. Completion Reward: Shurikenjutsu (C-rank reward).]

[Option B: Comfort Hyuga Kei verbally, saying it's okay if the cat is lost, you can buy another one. Completion Reward: Clone Jutsu (D-rank reward).]

[Option C: Pretend you heard nothing and run past. Completion Reward: Random Stat Point +0.1.]

Facing such a simple option mission, Hyuga Bin believed he could obtain the best reward, so he directly chose Option A.

Hyuga Bin quickly ran up to Hyuga Kei and said, "Grandma Kei, I'll go find your kitten for you."

[Option Complete!]

[Subsequent Mission Initiated: Help the elderly Hyuga Kei find her lost kitten. Reward will be issued upon mission completion.]

[Mission Completion Standard: Find the lost kitten using your own strength before dusk and bring it back to Hyuga Kei's home.]

"It's a chain quest again, as expected." Hyuga Bin was mentally prepared for a chain quest after his first experience.

"It's Bin-chan." Looking at Hyuga Bin running over, Hyuga Kei lowered her head, and a gentle expression appeared on her anxious face: "But I don't even know where it ran off to."

"It's okay, Grandma Kei, just tell me what it looks like." Hyuga Bin indicated he didn't mind.

"Her name is Xiao Hua, she's black and white, a very well-behaved child. This morning when I took her out for a walk..." Hyuga Kei described the kitten's appearance and the location where it got lost to Hyuga Bin.

"Grandma Kei, I understand. Don't worry, I'll definitely bring the kitten back home to you today." Hyuga Bin smiled and nodded, then bid farewell to Hyuga Kei and began his search for the kitten.

At this moment, he felt full of energy.

A simple task like catching a kitten clearly couldn't stump him, the future strongest in the ninja world.

He believed it wouldn't even take until dusk; he could bring the kitten back to Hyuga Kei by noon.

[Shurikenjutsu], a technique that sounded incredibly advanced, was destined to be his.

Until dusk.

Exhausted, Hyuga Bin finally found the kitten Xiao Hua among a group of stray cats, but he couldn't capture it with his own strength.

The stamina and athletic ability of kittens in the Naruto world were in no way comparable to the cats in his previous world.

Xiao Hua hid in various corners, and with the assistance of other stray cats, Hyuga Bin chased for half an hour without catching her. Finally, with the help of a kind passerby, he managed to catch the mischievous Xiao Hua.

At the same time, it also declared his mission a failure.

After a whole day of hard work, there were no rewards.

It was only at this time that Hyuga Bin understood why Konohagakure had so many D-rank missions to catch cats and dogs.

This was not only to train the mindset and cooperation of newly graduated genin, but also because these cats and dogs were genuinely difficult to catch.

"Catching cats is too exhausting. I'll never do it again."

As night approached, after Hyuga Bin returned the kitten to Grandma Kei, he felt a little bit of regret.

Wouldn't it have been better to "pass by" in the morning and get 0.1 attribute points for free?
