This ninja in Naruto is unscientific

Chapter 264 8th Generation: Why am I the one who's injured again!

The construction team was still on its way from the capital to Konoha, and during this waiting time, Nishikawa Tetsu and Konan were naturally not idle.

As the chief designer of the Konoha renovation project and the head of Akatsuki Construction Group in Konoha, their daily work involves conducting on-site inspections of the neighborhoods in Konoha that need renovation and reconstruction.

"The signboard of this meatball shop is too shabby and seriously affects the appearance of the city. I'll have someone send over a uniform LED lightbox."

Nishikawa Tetsu pointed to an old shop by the roadside and said casually.

"I've got it." Xiao Nan nodded slightly, her pen flying across the paper. "And at the intersection ahead, the drainage ditch isn't sloped enough, so it's prone to flooding on rainy days. We need to rebuild the underground pipe network."

The two walked and talked, occasionally stopping to measure the width of the road or point to an old building.

However, their dedication was viewed in a completely different light by the villagers of Konoha.

"Hey, look, isn't that Minister Nishikawa?"

"I see her! Who's that blue-haired girl next to him? She's so pretty!"

"Is that even a question? It's definitely Minister Nishikawa's girlfriend! Haven't you seen how inseparable they are? You've seen them everywhere together on the street these past few days!"

"Oh my, this young man, he has to pretend he's inspecting work while he's dating, really..."

Several middle-aged women who were buying groceries huddled together, whispering openly, their eyes filled with gossip as they looked at Nishikawa Tetsu and Konan.

Even the ramen shop owner couldn't resist peeking out of the kitchen and calling out with a smile:

"Lord Nishikawa! Bringing your girlfriend for a bowl of ramen? We're giving you a 20% discount today!"

"puff--"

Nishikawa Tetsu almost choked on his own saliva.

He turned his head, looked at the villagers with expressions that said "I know what you mean," and rolled his eyes helplessly.

"These people have such vivid imaginations!"

He turned to look at Xiao Nan, wanting to explain, but found that Xiao Nan was still writing something with a blank expression, seemingly unaware of the rumors.

"Ahem, Xiao Nan, don't mind them, these people are just bored." Nishikawa Tetsu awkwardly touched his nose.

"What's bothering you?" Xiao Nan looked up, her clear eyes full of seriousness. "What diameter of drainpipe did you say you needed for that intersection up ahead?"

"Uh... 800 millimeters will be enough."

Seeing that Konan was completely offline, Nishikawa Tetsu could only silently swallow his explanation.

……

As evening approached, the sun began to set.

Nishikawa Tetsu and Konan finished their day's work and were about to find a place to have dinner when they heard a familiar complaint coming from the entrance of a small alley.

"Why? I clearly took the higher-grade dried fish, why is it ignoring me!"

In the alley, Kanae Uzumaki was squatting on the ground, fuming, holding a small dried fish that smelled tempting, and desperately trying to hand it forward.

Beside her, Xiao Jingyin held Tun Tun, also looking helpless.

Two meters in front of them, a plump calico cat with mottled fur was arching its back, its tail held high, its fur standing on end, and it was purring warily as it stared intently at the two little girls who were trying to approach it.

As Chanel took a step forward, the calico cat took a step back, looking as if it had seen some terrifying monster.

"Pfft—" Tun Tun cried out in Shizune's arms, seemingly mocking Kana's failure.

On the other side of the alley, a man in a dark blue police uniform, arms crossed, leaned against the wall, watching this scene with a smug, lewd smile.

The Eighth Hokage of the Uchiha clan.

The section chief in the police department was grinning from ear to ear.

"Hahaha! I knew it!"

Yashiro laughed triumphantly, his arrogant demeanor, coupled with his already somewhat fierce face, made him look like a villain no matter how you looked at him.

"This little guy isn't someone anyone can pet! He's a cat with pride!"

"It doesn't give face to anyone except me, the Eighth Hokage Uchiha! Your little bits of dried fish are nothing to it!"

As Yashiro spoke, he pulled out a handful of dried fish from his pocket that was noticeably larger and more fragrant than the one in Kana's hand, and tossed it in his hand.

"See this? This is the flavor it likes. This is top-grade dried deep-sea fish that I specially asked someone to buy from the Land of Water!"

He crouched down, forced what he thought was a very gentle smile, and handed over the dried fish.

"Come on, Ahua, come and eat something delicious."

Surprisingly, the calico cat that had previously ignored Kana and Shizune miraculously calmed its ruffled fur and let out a sweet meow when it saw Yashiro, before walking over with elegant steps.

It not only ate the dried fish from Yashiro's hand, but also rubbed against Yashiro's trouser leg, its docile appearance completely different from before.

"See that? That's what bonds are!" Yashiro was even more smug, and even reached out to scratch the calico cat's chin, creating an eerily harmonious scene between the two.

"Damn it! This cat must be controlled by his Sharingan!"

Kana stomped her feet in anger, pointing at Yashiro and yelling, "You cheated!"

"Little girl, you need evidence to back up your claims!" Yashiro rolled her eyes. "I'm a section chief in the police department, how could I possibly use illusion magic on a cat? It's about charisma, understand?"

Just as Kana was about to rush up and argue with Yashiro.

"Wow, it's quite lively here."

Nishikawa Tetsu led Konan into the alley.

"Brother Che!" Kana rushed over to Nishikawa Che as if she'd seen a savior, complaining pitifully, "That weird uncle bullied me, and he even keeps a snob cat!"

"A weirdo? A snob?"

Yashiro's face instantly darkened; this was blatant slander!

But when he saw that it was Nishikawa Tetsu, he instantly calmed down and greeted him, "Minister Nishikawa, are you here for a walk too?"

"Yeah, I just happened to be passing by."

Nishikawa Tetsu looked at the calico cat rolling around at Yashiro's feet and suddenly remembered something.

He remembered that Shisui had said that in order to win over this stray cat, Yashiro had been scratched for more than half a month and given dozens of kilograms of high-end dried fish before he could barely gain its trust.

It now seems that the cat was indeed bought off by Yashiro's money.

Nishikawa Tetsu smiled, then noticed that something was off with Konan beside him, so he turned to look at her.

Xiao Nan's face remained expressionless, but the desire to pet the cat in her eyes was extremely strong. However, her body restrained her instincts, and she looked very conflicted.

"Xiao Nan, want to give it a try?"

"Me?" Xiao Nan was a little surprised. Why did you suddenly call on me?

"Yeah, give it a try, maybe it'll like you?" Nishikawa Tetsu encouraged.

"Forget it, Vice Minister Nishikawa."

Yashiro sneered from the side, "This cat is very shy around strangers. It won't even let Captain Fugaku touch it, except for me. This lady may be pretty, but in its eyes, she's probably just an ordinary two-legged creature."

However, no sooner had Yatsushiro finished speaking than...

The calico cat that had been cuddling at his feet suddenly stopped moving.

It turned its head, sniffed the air hard, and then turned its round eyes toward Xiao Nan.

then.

Meow~

A voice, ten times sweeter than before, rang out.

The calico cat completely abandoned Yashiro, refusing to even eat the top-grade dried seafood on the ground. Taking small, quick steps and wagging its tail, it walked straight up to Minami.

It tilted its head back and rubbed against Xiao Nan's skirt in an extremely fawning manner, making loud "purring" sounds in its throat. Its impatient appearance seemed to say:

"Touch me! Touch me now!"

"..."

The alley fell into a deathly silence.

Chanel opened her mouth wide, and the half-eaten dried fish in her hand fell to the ground.

Silent and Tuntun also looked incredulous.

And the Eighth Hokage of Uchiha...

He remained in the same squatting position, still holding dried fish in his hand, looking like a weathered statue, shattered into pieces.

"This...this is impossible..."

Yashiro's voice trembled as he looked at the "traitor" frantically trying to be cute at Minami's feet, feeling as if his heart was bleeding.

He was scratched for half a month! He spent most of his monthly salary on dried fish! He risked being mistaken for a pervert by passersby and just grinned at it every day!

result……

Just because the other cat is pretty, this cat betrayed them?!

What a hypocritical cat!

"Pfft—"

Nishikawa Tetsu couldn't help but burst into laughter, clutching his stomach.

"Hahaha! Senior Eight, it seems your personal charisma is still lacking a bit!"

"..."

Yashiro stood up, his face dark, and turned to leave without saying a word.

That silhouette, no matter how you look at it, exudes a sense of desolation and indignation.

"Huh? Section Chief Yashiro, you're not feeding the cat anymore?" Nishikawa Tetsu added fuel to the fire from behind.

"I'm not feeding it anymore! This wretched cat, let whoever wants to feed it feed it!"

Yashiro's voice drifted from afar, carrying a hint of barely concealed anger:

"Being pretty isn't everything! The pride of the Uchiha clan will never bow to looks!"

Watching Yashiro's retreating figure, and then looking at the calico cat at her feet that was still desperately rubbing against Konan.

Nishikawa Tetsu shook his head helplessly.

"These days, even cats are obsessed with looks."
