Cat and Dog Battle: Part Two

The battle begins.

Red Cat squatted on the ground, tilting its head as it looked at Akamaru. Its tail, as long as its body, swished back and forth in the air, carrying a strong sense of provocation.

"Woof... bark..."

Akamaru was extremely annoyed by Red Cat's provocation and was the first to launch an attack. It wanted to teach that detestable big red cat a profound lesson.

Akamaru was worthy of being the representative of the new generation of Ninja Dogs from the Inuzuka Clan. Its overall quality was extremely high. Running at full speed, Akamaru turned into a white blur and charged towards Red Cat, not in a straight line, showing Akamaru's decent combat awareness.

Dogs have hard heads, strong bones, and soft waists. Akamaru, as a Ninja Dog, naturally had no such weakness in its waist, and the hard head and strong bones characteristics were greatly enhanced.

If a puppy's bite force isn't enough, it uses impact as an attack method.

Don't underestimate the current impact force of Akamaru. If there were an ordinary adult in front of it, being hit by Akamaru like this would guarantee they'd only be able to exhale and not inhale.

But Red Cat still squatted in place without moving at all, completely unfazed by Akamaru's attack.

Just as Akamaru was about to attack Red Cat, everyone present felt an extremely powerful Chakra gather and erupt from Red Cat's body.

Akamaru was directly blown away by the airflow generated by the Chakra eruption.

Sensing this, the expressions of the two Chunin teachers responsible for maintaining order nearby instantly changed. They could clearly feel that Red Cat's Chakra was far greater than their own, which indicated the strength of Red Cat's power, a being they could not resist.

Red Cat possessed the bloodline of a Fire-breathing Ninja Bird, enabling it to spew flames by utilizing the Chakra within its body. However, ordinary Fire-breathing Ninja Birds had very weak Chakra reserves, ranking at the bottom among Ninja Beasts. The flames they spewed could at most be used to roast insects or scare off predators.

But with the supply from two Chakra Hearts, Red Cat's Chakra was extremely abundant. Sufficient Chakra made Red Cat's flames very potent.

For a time, everyone around felt the air temperature rising. Especially around Red Cat, the air appeared to ripple, a sign of extremely high temperatures.

It was not hard to imagine that if Red Cat's attack were unleashed, Akamaru, this little puppy, would be completely burned to ashes, along with dozens of surrounding students.

Yu stood watching from afar, making no move, because he knew Red Cat would not attack. Red Cat's eyes, like rubies, held a cunning glint; it was trying to intimidate Akamaru.

After being blown away, Akamaru lay flat on the ground, not daring to move. Its two small paws clutched its head tightly. As a Ninja Dog, its powerful sensory abilities made Akamaru deeply understand the gap between itself and Red Cat. This suppression of power level was more terrifying than anything it had faced from its parents or the Ninja Dogs in the Inuzuka Clan.

A particular scene showed a puddle of water slowly forming where Akamaru lay; it had been so scared it had wet itself.

Seeing Akamaru's state, Red Cat nodded with satisfaction and then retracted all its power. Red Cat possessed human-like intelligence and would naturally not act ruthlessly in such a situation.

For some reason, Red Cat wanted to teach Akamaru a lesson. Of course, another reason was that Kiba Inuzuka had approached Sasuke earlier, and Red Cat felt Kiba Inuzuka had disrespected Sasuke. The 'god' had told it to protect Sasuke well, so it was Kiba Inuzuka's turn to have bad luck.

This process was actually very short, less than ten seconds. By the time those Chunin teachers were preparing to call for reinforcements, Red Cat had already ceased its aggressive stance. The Chakra Hearts also stopped working. Soon after, Red Cat returned to being just an ordinary big cat, showing no signs of immense power.

However, everyone around had focused all their attention on Red Cat and its master, Sasuke.

Although Sasuke was also startled by Red Cat's power just now, his expression management was still on point. From the moment Red Cat began using its power until it retracted it, he maintained a cold and proud demeanor, as if everything was under his control.

Sasuke, a master of showing off, knew what he should do now.

He looked at the dumbfounded Kiba Inuzuka, let out a soft snort, and then turned to walk towards the classroom, embodying the phrase, "waves goodbye without taking away a single cloud."

Red Cat quickly followed Sasuke's footsteps. As it passed by Akamaru, Red Cat used its hind leg to scrape some dirt onto Akamaru, a highly insulting gesture.

But no one noticed Red Cat's action now.

"Wow! I'm really too strong! I thought I was going to die just now!"

"Can't believe what just happened was real?"

"This kind of power, even a regular Jonin might not match it!"

"How could such a powerful Ninja Beast suddenly appear?"

"Red Cat-kun is really too cute!"

"Sasuke is so cool!"

"Sasuke-kun is the coolest!"

The last few sentences were naturally spoken by fangirls, their focus still as bizarre as ever.

With Red Cat's commotion, the entire training ground descended into chaos. Soon, the teachers announced that the ninjutsu class for the day was ending early and everyone should go home.

Naruto was naturally among those who had witnessed Red Cat's display. Honestly, in Naruto's heart, he was happy for Sasuke. After all, they had spent two years together. Although they were ostensibly "enemies," deep down, they had both come to regard each other as friends, not to mention the bond that already existed between Sasuke and Naruto.

So, seeing Sasuke's Ninja Beast win made Naruto happy. However, Sasuke's showy display made him feel a slight sense of disappointment because he had once again been surpassed by Sasuke.

"How did Sasuke suddenly get such a powerful Ninja Beast?" Naruto couldn't figure it out. Just yesterday, he was with Sasuke, but today, such a powerful Ninja Beast was suddenly by Sasuke's side.

"Naruto, what are you thinking about?"

At this moment, Yu walked up behind Naruto and patted his shoulder, saying.

Naruto didn't need to turn around to know it was Yu behind him.

"Yu, do you know that Sasuke suddenly got a very powerful Ninja Beast today? I saw the teachers' faces showing fear just now. You've been with Sasuke all this time, do you know where he got his Ninja Beast from?" Naruto asked Yu, half-excited and half-confused.

Yu grinned at this question and replied, "You mean Red Cat! I gave it to Sasuke."

"Ah?"

Naruto's face was filled with disbelief.
