Senrin's Appointment, Ruthless Cat Destruction

For the next few days, Hyuga Senrin never sought out Uchiha Tunan again.

Every day, she sat in her seat in a daze, staring at Uchiha Tunan with a sickly gaze.

She was as quiet as a corpse.

This made Uchiha Tunan very uncomfortable.

"Senrin, have you been resting well lately?"

Hyuga Senrin mechanically turned her head and looked at Asuma, who had a concerned expression.

She paused, then put on a pale smile and beckoned to Asuma.

Asuma's eyes lit up, and he leaned closer.

"Asuma, do you like me?"

Hyuga Senrin's voice was slightly hoarse, but to Asuma, it sounded like heavenly music.

"I... hehe..." Asuma sheepishly scratched his head.

The happiness came too suddenly, and he was momentarily speechless.

"Can you do me a favor?"

Asuma patted his chest and said, "No problem. With me, Asuma, what can't be done?"

Hyuga Senrin's smile instantly vanished, replaced by a chilling expression. She whispered, "Find an opportunity and help me kill the cat Mina is raising."

"Uh..." Asuma was suddenly choked.

"Just kidding," Hyuga Senrin's expression changed like a flipped page, and a smile reappeared on her face.

Asuma breathed a sigh of relief, looking embarrassed. "Haha... you scared me. So..."

Before he could finish, Hyuga Senrin handed Asuma a piece of paper.

"Help me give this note to Tunan-kun. Don't peek."

"No problem."

Asuma took the note without thinking too much.

After all, everyone in the class knew that Uchiha Tunan and Uchiha Mina were a couple.

He went to Uchiha Tunan's side and placed the note in front of him.

"Senrin asked me to give this to you."

Uchiha Tunan took the note and opened it. It read:

Tunan-kun, I want to talk to you alone. Tomorrow night at nine, under the waterfall east of Hokage Rock. Don't be late.

After reading it, Uchiha Tunan turned to look at Hyuga Senrin and nodded at her.

A faint smile appeared on Hyuga Senrin's pale face.

To be honest, Uchiha Tunan really didn't want to waste time playing some stupid love story with two kids.

But to become an excellent hunter, before revealing his fangs, he must remember to disguise himself at all times.

The next day.

Today was October 6th.

It was also the weekly day off, and Hatake Sakumo was resting at home.

Uchiha Tunan naturally wouldn't waste such a great time.

Early in the morning, he went to the Hatake Family's house to train with Kakashi under Hatake Sakumo.

He didn't return home until evening. After dinner, he went to the training ground north of the Uchiha Clan Compound to guide Uchiha Mina in her training.

At this moment, outside the Uchiha Clan Compound, Hyuga Senrin was walking with a bag of cat food.

"Little one, this is the Uchiha Clan Compound. What are you doing here?" Two patrol guards saw Hyuga Senrin and stopped her.

Hyuga Senrin lowered her head like a frightened kitten, her face flushed, and said weakly, "I... I came to find Mina to..." One of the patrol guards glanced and saw the cat food in Hyuga Senrin's hand, saying impatiently, "Feeding the cat, right?"

Hyuga Senrin nodded weakly. "Mm~"

The patrol guards clearly felt that a child of a few years old posed no threat. They waved their hands and said, "You can go in."

Hyuga Senrin nodded, then seemed to think of something and looked at the patrol guards pitifully.

"Uncle... this is my first time here... I don't know the way... but..."

"No, I have to patrol and don't have time to lead you. Mina's house is over there. There are two cherry blossom trees by her door."

The patrol officer impatiently pointed with a finger and then walked away.

"Thank you," Hyuga Senrin bowed deeply towards the retreating figures and then headed in the direction the patrol officer had indicated.

Soon, Hyuga Senrin arrived at Uchiha Mina's house.

Uchiha Mina's parents died in World War II, and she became an orphan at a very young age.

Before she started school, the clan even assigned her a guardian.

But after Uchiha Mina was admitted to the Ninja Academy, the guardian was withdrawn.

At this moment, Uchiha Mina's house was empty. Only a small, snow-white kitten was resting on the floor in front of the door.

"Squeak~"

The wooden gate of the yard was ajar.

After all, this was the Uchiha Clan Compound. As long as people weren't going out for extended periods, they usually just closed their house doors, and the yard gates were generally left unlocked.

When Hyuga Senrin pushed open the yard gate, the kitten immediately became alert.

With a "whoosh," it hid behind a pillar, peeking out with half its head to observe.

But upon seeing that it was Hyuga Senrin, especially with the cat food in her hand.

The kitten instantly dropped its guard and trotted out happily.

This was mainly because Uchiha Mina brought the kitten with her every day to and from school.

Only when she trained with Uchiha Tunan would she leave the kitten at home alone.

Having spent a lot of time at school with Uchiha Mina, the kitten naturally recognized Hyuga Senrin and wasn't afraid.

"Meow~"

As Hyuga Senrin stepped into the small yard, she saw the kitten run to her feet, rubbing its head against Hyuga Senrin's pant leg.

Its round cat eyes were fixed on the bag of cat food Hyuga Senrin was carrying.

However, Hyuga Senrin remained unmoved by the kitten's affectionate gestures, looking down at it with a detached gaze.

The kitten wanted to eat the cat food, and seeing that this tactic didn't work, it decided to try a different approach.

In its memory, as long as it acted cute, it would get delicious food.

The kitten immediately lay down on the ground, rolled over, exposing its snow-white belly, and wriggled.

It seemed to be saying: Come pet me, cuddle me, please don't spare me.

Hyuga Senrin's lips gradually curved upwards, and she softly said, "So good."

Seeing the woman in front of her smile, the kitten thought it would soon get to eat the new flavor of cat food and wriggled even more energetically.

Suddenly, a shadow blocked the kitten's view.

"Bang~"

"Meow!"

"Unfortunately, you don't belong to me." Hyuga Senrin slowly turned around, casually tossing a piece of paper onto the kitten's corpse.

Then she walked out of the yard with the bag of cat food, closing the yard gate behind her.

After leaving, Hyuga Senrin resumed her demure and fragile expression and walked towards the place she had agreed to meet Uchiha Tunan.

At this time, Uchiha Tunan was still training Uchiha Mina.

Even with the large number of Ninja Beast White Doves he trained now, it was impossible to monitor all of Konoha at all times.

Therefore, he was unaware of what Hyuga Senrin had just done.

Time passed slowly, and the sky had completely darkened.

Nine o'clock.

After finishing training Uchiha Mina, Uchiha Tunan headed towards the place he had agreed to meet Hyuga Senrin.

At the same time, a flock of white pigeons took flight from the forest and flew towards the distance.
