"Lord Yuhuo."

The ninja cats gathered respectfully around the giant orange cat and found the backbone.

Itachi stared at the giant ninja cat blocking the road, his expression no longer as relaxed as before.

Ninja Feather Fire, he knew it.

Most of the ninja cats in the ninja cat clan are not good at fighting, but are good at gathering information, but Yu Huo is a very rare fighting ninja cat.

Even in the history of the ninja cat clan, there has never been a fighting ninja cat that surpasses it in strength.

Its contractor is also a famous ninja in the ninja world-Uchiha Ruri.

As far as Itachi knew, Yu Huo's status in the Ninja Clan was second only to the leader Neko Granny.

"Leave, Uchiha Itachi, there is no place for you here anymore, and our Ninja Clan will no longer provide you with information or weapons."

Standing in front of all the ninja cats, Yu Huo used his body's advantage to speak condescendingly to Itachi.

There was also a hint of hostility in the cat's eyes.

This is natural. There are many ninja cats in the ninja clan who have a good relationship with the ninjas of the Uchiha clan. Itachi's act of exterminating the clan also means that he will be separated from the ninja clan.

Even the relatively mild-tempered Ninja Cat among the Ninja Cat Clan remained neutral and did not express opinions when it came to dealing with Uchiha Itachi, but no one would openly support the other's behavior.

Most of the ninja cats unanimously terminated Itachi's contract, and all the ninja cat clan's strongholds were no longer open to Itachi, and information and supplies were no longer shared with Itachi or worked for him.

"I came here to pick up some things, and I happened to be at Granny Cat's. I will leave after picking up the things."

Itachi used his three magatama sharingan to look at Yu Huo calmly, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.

It's just Itachi's stubborn behavior that made Yu Huo furious, and a little angry at Itachi Uchiha's lack of appreciation.

Didn't you see that neither humans nor cats here welcome him?

Or do you want to forcefully break into the stronghold of the Ninja Cat Clan? Such behavior is tantamount to provocation.

"Hmph! If you don't leave, then you should never leave here!"

Yu Huo took a step forward, and the cat's paw stepped on the ground, causing a slight vibration. The body as big as a hill blocked the sun and cast a large shadow.

The outer layer of his body was covered with substantial chakra that was visible to the naked eye. Kisame felt this powerful chakra and felt that his breathing was becoming suffocating.

This cat seems to be more than just big. Kisame thought to himself.

He watched the scene in front of him with great interest, without any intention of stepping forward to help.

Itachi sighed slightly, not sure if it was regret or something, but stretched out his hand from his sleeve, holding a few shurikens between his fingers, as if he was ready to fight at any time.

Suddenly, a black shadow flew over from a distance. It was a ninja cat that looked like a fox with words carved on its forehead.

"Feather Fire."

The ninja cat shouted Yu Huo's name.

"What are you doing, electric fire? You can eat the dried fish yourself first, I have 'guests' here to entertain you."

Yu Huo looked at the ninja cat that was no bigger than his hand and called out his name.

Especially when the word ‘guest’ is mentioned, the tone is emphasized.

"It has nothing to do with dried fish. Granny Cat knows what's going on here and has already agreed to his request."

The ninja cat named Denhu also glanced at Itachi.

"What's so good about this kind of guy? Just let me burn him with a burst of fire."

Yu Huo's attitude was very dissatisfied.

"But you fight too violently and will destroy the entire stronghold. Grandma Cat doesn't want to move so soon."

Dianhuo said.

"Really, can't we just drive away this kind of traitor? There is no need to condone it. Grandma Cat is also really..."

Yu Huo snorted coldly. Although he was dissatisfied with Granny Cat's decision, he still had to give her some face.

Ignoring Yuhuo's complaints, Dianhuo walked up to Itachi and said, "Come with me."

As he spoke, he reluctantly led the way.

Bearing the hostile gazes of many ninja cats, Itachi followed Denhuo into the stronghold of the ninja cat clan with a calm expression.

Kisame shrugged helplessly and waited outside very wisely, accepting the surveillance of the Ninja Clan.

The underground corridor is like a maze. Even if Itachi has been here many times, he still feels dizzy and has no idea which path is which.

This underground maze is like countless tentacles rooted underground, protecting the safety of the Ninja Cat Clan.

Entering the innermost room, Denhuo did not go in, but let Itachi go in alone.

At the front of the room, an old woman with a large number of non-ninja cats curled up beside her sat cross-legged very quietly. She had gray hair, a cat ear hair ornament on her head, and a pipe in her hand.

Although he is considered old in age, his overall appearance is still very energetic.

Grandma Cat.

Although she calls herself Grandma Cat, she is actually a human being.

It's just that the other party's family, like the Uchiha clan, also has a symbiotic contractual relationship with the Ninja clan.

Granny Neko's family is the leading business family in the ninja world, mainly engaged in arms trading, selling them underground, and secretly providing weapons and supplies to the Uchiha clan.

Even Konoha knows very little about this kind of thing.

Therefore, the relationship between the three parties is obvious.

Grandma Mao's family provides a business platform, sells arms, and earns development funds.

The ninja cat clan is responsible for the transportation work to save manpower. At the same time, they are spread all over the ninja world and are responsible for intelligence collection.

The Uchiha clan provides military support and carries out protection work.

"Is it Itachi?"

Grandma Cat, who was sitting there, spoke. After taking a puff of cigarette, her turbid eyes glanced at Weasel.

"Yes, Granny Cat."

"You have changed a lot. You were not like this before."

Grandma Cat looked at Weasel's familiar face. Although the face had not changed much from before, it lacked vitality, lacked a smile, and was only cold, making Grandma Cat unable to compare him with the past.

So strange that Grandma Cat doesn't even recognize her.

Itachi said nothing and stood there silently.

"Oh... forget it, since you made that decision, you must also know that the Ninja Clan, including the family behind me, are very dissatisfied with your behavior."

"I'm just testing my own capabilities, that's all."

Itachi replied calmly.

The purpose is to establish for outsiders an image of a rebellious and ruthless person who strives for strength.

"Itachi, I watched you grow up, and you are not that kind of person. Being satisfied with paranoid justice is just self-motivation. You will get nothing except pain and failure."

Grandma Cat said earnestly.

"You are worrying too much, Grandma Cat."

"Maybe, but since you have made your choice, I can't control you anymore. After all, you have done such a thing, and the Ninja Cat Clan cannot tolerate your existence. Please officially erase your name, you and Ninja

The contract between the cat clan ends here."

After Grandma Cat finished speaking, a three-color ninja cat came out of the shadows, pushed a huge scroll, and placed it at Itachi's feet.

Although the contract between the ninja cats and Itachi was terminated, Itachi's name has not yet been crossed out from the scroll of the ninja cat clan.

This time is also a ceremony to terminate the contract.

"yes."

Itachi did not object. He spread out the scroll and found his name. He formed seals with his hands and performed the spell. The "Uchiha Itachi" on the scroll disappeared and turned into blank, which meant his contract with the ninja cat clan.

end.

Although Itachi felt a sense of loss in his heart, his eyes became firm when he thought of something.

Maybe he betrayed his family, but he had no regrets about destroying the Uchiha clan.

Only in this way can we avoid conflicts between the family and the village, avoid the outbreak of the Fourth Ninja War, and prevent Konoha from falling into a place of no return.

From this point of view, it was worthwhile for him to sacrifice the Uchiha clan in order to save more lives.

"The supplies, blank scrolls, kunai, detonating charms and other things you entrusted me to purchase before are all ready. This is the last time. Remember not to come here again next time."

Granny Cat pointed to a package not far away, which contained the ninja equipment that Itachi needed.

"Trouble."

Itachi took out a stack of money from his ninja bag and placed it in front of Grandma Cat, not wanting to owe Grandma Cat too many favors.

Seeing Itachi's behavior, Granny Cat didn't say anything. No matter Itachi wanted it or not, he would not be able to rely on the power of the Ninja Cat Clan from now on.
