The Uchiha and the Ninja Cat Clan had been on friendly terms for generations, and Cat Granny did not want to offend Oto, who ranked among their strongest fighters.
She had agreed to cooperate with Zou Hyuga partly because Oto's life was not in danger, and partly because Zou Hyuga could bestow chakra, helping the ninja cats grow stronger quickly.
Cat Granny had discovered this through Bell Cat. After being contracted to Oto for several years, Bell Cat was already among the strongest in the Ninja Cat Clan, but lacked proper discipline.
Zou Hyuga had little objection to helping the ninja cats grow stronger quickly. He would need a group of summoning beasts like them in the future, so maintaining a good relationship was absolutely necessary.
More importantly, before the Moryo mission, Zou Hyuga had made a discovery while helping Oto enter Sage Mode.
To some extent, Oto's Sage Mode was highly compatible with the Ninja Cat Clan. Perhaps getting Oto to truly enter Sage Mode on her own would require more experiments involving the ninja cats.
Once their written conversation ended, Cat Granny began spouting divination jargon with a convincing air.
After the fortune-telling was over, Zou Hyuga left the room and returned to the hall.
Oto Uchiha stepped forward, looked up, and asked, "How did your fortune-telling go?"
Zou Hyuga smiled. "Pretty well. Cat Granny said my luck was good, but is this kind of fortune-telling really useful for ninja? Even the Miko couldn't predict our futures."
"Give it a try. It might be useful..." Oto Uchiha gave him a sly smile, then entered the room.
The moment she entered, Oto Uchiha eagerly turned to Cat Granny and asked, "Granny, what did you find out about Zou? Has he... really..."
At this point, worry filled Oto Uchiha's face
