Senju Tobirama's residence.
"Kid, stop sleeping, I want to eat grilled fish meow!"
Renya lay in the courtyard basking in the sun, and because the sunlight was so warm, he accidentally fell asleep.
Suddenly, he felt a heavy weight pressing on his chest.
Opening his eyes, a plump cat face came into view.
It was none other than the fat cat that had claimed it would never speak to him again!
Ever since he killed Uchiha Madara back then, Scar had never paid him any attention.
Even when Renya tried to appease it with grilled fish, it was useless. The loyal fat cat believed Renya was a murderer and naturally refused to eat his grilled fish.
But things were different now. Madara-sama had come back to life, so it could come over and freeload again.
It had been many years since it tasted grilled fish.
Madara-sama and Senju Hashirama were sitting on the mountaintop. Bored out of its mind, it came down the mountain to find Renya.
After learning that Izuna-sama was about to be revived, Scar's mood improved, and so did its appetite.
It felt like it could eat at least five grilled fish in one sitting!
"Fat cat, get off me first." Renya said irritably, "You've gotten so fat you're like a pig."
After not seeing it for several years, the fat cat had gained even more weight. Clearly, it had been eating quite well.
"Kid, you actually called me fat!" The fat cat instantly bristled. "Also, my name is Scar, don't call me fat cat!"
If this guy hadn't kept calling it a fat cat, would it have grown this fat?
That's right, it was all Renya's fault!
"Alright, alright, got it." Renya got up to prepare food. "I'll make grilled fish for you, okay?"
It had been so many years since he last petted a cat.
Once it had eaten and drunk its fill, it would be his turn to make a move.
Watching Renya go out to buy ingredients, Scar lay on Renya's chair, lazily basking in the sun.
Tsk tsk, this kid really knows how to enjoy life!
Senju Tobirama stood by the window, looking at the black fat cat in the courtyard, his brows slightly raised.
"Do cats live that long?"
If he remembered correctly, this cat seemed to be the one belonging to Uchiha Izuna.
Many years ago, when he and his elder brother disguised themselves and went to the capital of the Land of Fire, they happened to encounter Uchiha Izuna, who had come to purchase grain.
And on his shoulder lay a black cat.
Senju Tobirama did not reveal his identity, only glanced at Izuna from afar.
A few years ago, Renya brought back a black cat. Senju Tobirama only thought it looked similar and never considered anything beyond that.
Later, after learning that Uchiha Madara had not died and often associated with Renya, he belatedly connected Scar with the one on Izuna's shoulder.
Senju Tobirama narrowed his eyes.
"When I have time, I'll secretly knock it out and take it to the lab for research."
He strongly suspected that the inherently evil Uchiha Izuna had tampered with the fat cat, causing it to grow old without dying!
Soon, the fat cat finally got to eat the grilled fish it had been longing for.
"Kid, your cooking hasn't declined. Very good!"
Wuwuwu, it was just too delicious!
It had been craving this bite for who knows how long!
It believed that once Izuna-sama was revived, he would also like the food this kid made.
At that time, it could suggest that Izuna-sama kidnap this kid and make him their personal cook.
Then they could eat delicious food every day!
The black cat was truly enjoying its meal, completely unaware that Renya had been petting it the whole time.
At this moment, Renya still didn't know that a certain cat had already started plotting against him.
"Hey, you dead white-haired!"
Seeing Senju Tobirama appear out of nowhere and pick up a grilled fish Renya had made for it, the fat cat instantly bristled.
"Put down my grilled fish!"
As expected of the one Izuna-sama hated the most.
The inherently evil Senju Tobirama not only killed Izuna-sama but now wanted to steal its grilled fish!
Beast, absolutely a beast!
When Izuna-sama is revived, it will definitely go complain!
Senju Tobirama picked up the grilled fish and waved it in front of Scar.
"Ninja cat, you're the one Izuna adopted, right?"
Scar: "???"
Could this guy read minds?!
Otherwise, how would he know it was the ninja cat adopted by Izuna-sama?!
It subconsciously looked at Renya, who shook his head.
He had never told Tobirama about the fat cat's identity. This old guy must have seen it before.
"What do you want?" The fat cat narrowed its eyes and said in an unfriendly tone, "If you dare have any bad intentions toward me, Madara-sama won't let you off!"
Although it no longer had Izuna-sama now, Madara-sama could still guarantee its safety as a cat!
Senju Tobirama did not respond, instead casually eating the grilled fish.
Only after finishing the entire fish did he clap his hands and say,
"Ninja cat, I won't do anything to you."
Uchiha Izuna had been his old rival, and since he had already killed him, there was no reason to act against a cat he left behind.
With that, he stood up, preparing to return to the study to read.
"You think it's impressive to win against Izuna-sama with schemes and tricks?" Scar looked at his departing back and said dissatisfiedly, "When Izuna-sama is revived, he'll definitely bring me to get our revenge!"
As soon as these words came out, both people in the courtyard froze.
The fat cat immediately realized it had said something wrong and quickly covered its mouth with its paw.
Crap, how did it blurt out Madara-sama's plan!
It's over, it's over. If Madara-sama finds out it let it slip, he definitely won't spare it meow.
"What did you just say?"
Senju Tobirama's body halted. He immediately turned around, narrowing his eyes as he stared intently at the fat cat.
"N-no, I didn't say anything meow…"
Realizing it had let something slip, Scar immediately tried to change the subject.
"Kid, your grilled fish tastes great. I'll come find you again sometime."
With that, it broke free from Renya's arms, grabbed a grilled fish in its mouth, and ran off.
Meanwhile, Senju Tobirama kept staring at its fleeing figure in silence.
Uchiha Izuna is going to be revived…
Since Uchiha Madara could use the Rinnegan to come back from the dead, reviving Uchiha Izuna probably wouldn't be difficult.
"Uncle?"
Renya looked at Senju Tobirama with concern.
He also didn't expect Madara-sama to revive Izuna. For something that big, he didn't even discuss it with him!
It wasn't that he didn't want Uchiha Izuna to be revived, he was just worried that once Izuna was revived, he and Tobirama would fight to the death.
That was a scene he did not want to see…
"It's nothing. Go prepare lunch."
Senju Tobirama waved his hand, then turned and entered the study.
Looking at the tightly shut door, Renya frowned deeply.
No matter what, he couldn't let the two of them start fighting after they met!
It seemed he would have to personally restrain both of them.
...
Inside the room, Senju Tobirama sat at the table, not reading as usual.
Instead, he fell into memories…
No one knew what he was thinking. By the time Renya called him to eat, his expression had returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.
Renya looked at the composed Senju Tobirama with a strange expression.
This old guy changes his face that fast?
