Realizing you were doing everything in your power to rewrite a future not far off, Boss Black Cat immediately asked what you needed from him. You told him to gather the three stray cats that had passed on the information about Uchiha Shisui's disappearance, as well as a ninja cat that had come into contact with similar intel. You instructed him to have them arrive at the remote training ground in scattered groups at different times.
〖6:00 AM〗
After handing you the summoning technique, Boss Black Cat departed.
You had your usual breakfast, said goodbye to Granny Yukina, and headed out to train.
The goal of this session was still to push the Speed of this body to its limits.
〖7:00 AM〗
You continued training.
〖8:00 AM〗
After finishing your weighted exercises, you devoured a heavy meal to replenish your body's needs before making your way toward the secluded training field.
To be safe, you reached out to Boss Black Cat via telepathic link and confirmed that he and two of the stray cats had arrived at the training ground safely. Only then did you relax.
〖9:00 AM〗
With Boss Black Cat keeping watch, you activated your Sharingan, channeling both your visual power and Spirit into the stray cat's mental world, carefully searching for the lingering traces of Mangekyō power left behind when its memory was wiped.
〖10:00 AM〗
You finally located the residual Mangekyō power within one stray cat's consciousness and drew it into yourself through the inherent attraction between Sharingan eyes. At that moment, Boss Black Cat returned with another stray cat in tow.
〖11:00 AM〗
After a brief rest, you dove back in. With your previous experience delving into mental worlds, you quickly extracted the Mangekyō residue from the second stray cat and began investigating the third.
〖12:00 PM〗
A ninja cat with a butterfly ribbon tied around her neck arrived at the training ground, carrying a lunchbox in her mouth. She was your biggest challenge yet.
Cats like Boss Black Cat, who were powerful enough to form independent contracts with shinobi, were generally stronger than a genin.
Thus, attempting to use genjutsu to alter their memories was about as difficult as rewriting the memories of an actual genin.
That might not be a problem for the Mangekyō Sharingan.
But trying to reverse-engineer the process—tracing the memory manipulation back to find traces of the Sharingan—was no easy task for you, someone who had only recently awakened the two-tomoe stage.
You steeled yourself and tried to reach into her mental world.
She was highly cooperative, but despite your best efforts, you found nothing.
〖1:00 PM〗
After lunch, you remembered your plan to hunt down the Root shinobi.
You had Boss Black Cat pre-capture six "mice" for you—rigged with explosive tags and ready for basic modifications.
Meanwhile, you continued probing the ninja cat's mind.
Just as your visual power was about to run dry, you finally detected the faintest trace of Mangekyō chakra.
〖2:00 PM〗
Summoning the last of your willpower, you sharply honed your senses and seized that lingering fragment of Mangekyō power within the ninja cat. Using the attraction between Sharingan eyes, you drew it into yourself.
As the energy transferred, it felt like your entire body was crushed under an invisible weight.Even breathing became agonizingly difficult.
Part of it was due to overexertion—your visual power, Spirit, and even chakra reserves were utterly depleted.
But the pressure wasn't just internal.
The power you absorbed was strong enough to alter the memory of a shinobi-class ninja cat.
Even after the passage of time and the resistance from her own chakra, it still bore down on you with immense force.
You swallowed a soldier pill the ninja cat had brought and rested briefly.
Boss Black Cat took the lead, using his racial advantage to position the six modified explosive mice across the river, lying in ambush.
He himself hid nearby to cut off the Root shinobi's retreat.
This time, you were determined to wipe them out completely.
〖3:00 PM〗
Right on time, three Root shinobi arrived.
After a sweep of the area, they failed to detect Boss Black Cat—whose aura was expertly masked—and the modified mice, which gave off no chakra at all.
Satisfied, they began digging into the ground.
〖4:00 PM〗
You walked to the riverside with a fishing rod slung over your shoulder.
Before the Root shinobi on the other side could speak, you cut them off with a cold command, declaring that this was Uchiha territory and ordering them to leave in a haughty, superior tone.
One of the Root shinobi cast a detection jutsu, sending out a wave of chakra, but thanks to your aura suppression, it was useless.
You continued talking.
They didn't even look up, focused entirely on digging, as if they genuinely believed you were just some harmless, unknown Uchiha brat.
That was your cue—the hunt began.
Step one: the classic tactic—using mice to launch a surprise attack.
Predictably, the enemies noticed.
They threw shuriken to kill the mice, but you accelerated the rodents' movement, sending one soaring toward a Root shinobi before igniting the explosive tag midair.
Two explosions went off.
The Earth Release user in the center was severely injured.
Although the other two reacted quickly, they were no match for your speed.
You had already drawn your weapons. Two kunai—each tagged with an explosive seal—flew out in a pincer attack from both sides, boxing them in.
They hastily threw shuriken to deflect the kunai, but against your Sharingan, it was laughable.
You followed up with a shower of shuriken, disrupting the flight path of the kunai and completely locking down their movement.
The explosive tags detonated.
At the same time, two more mice crept in and self-detonated right beside the Root shinobi.
This kind of high-speed, multi-target micromanagement was only possible thanks to your improved Sharingan.
Suddenly, a Lightning Release jutsu shot out of the smoke and came straight at you.
But you were ready.
You triggered a substitution technique on a marked shuriken you had thrown earlier.In an instant, the pull of the technique yanked you high into the air.
While airborne, you completed the hand signs for the Great Fireball Jutsu.
A blazing fireball burst from your mouth and roared down onto the three Root shinobi, swallowing them in a sea of flame.
You heard screams through the inferno but didn't pause.
Upon landing, you quickly threw more shuriken to seal off the path between the enemies and yourself.
You linked minds with Boss Black Cat.
Using the ninja cat's keen hearing, you confirmed that all three Root operatives were seriously injured.
Only the one hit hardest in the initial blast was fully incapacitated.
The other two were still channeling chakra to defend against the flames.
As the firestorm from the Great Fireball began to fade, you had a flash of inspiration.
You rapidly formed hand seals, turned toward the river, and launched a makeshift Water Dragon Bullet.
Your chakra was low, but with the river nearby, you managed to form a high-pressure water stream.
The torrent blasted into the fire, releasing a cloud of scalding steam.
At the same time, the shockwave disrupted the chakra barriers protecting the two remaining Root shinobi, sending them crashing to the ground.
The sudden clash of extreme heat and cold created a heavy steam fog, and both shinobi coughed up blood, on the brink of unconsciousness.
Seizing the moment, you sent in the last two explosive mice.
They leapt onto the fallen shinobi's chests and detonated—finishing the execution.
