Crow Feather fell from the air and stood on Chika's shoulder.
Chika felt a little uncomfortable under Crow Feather's claws, he turned his head and saw that Crow Feather was holding a Konoha forehead protector.
"Which unlucky guy did you steal it from?" He patted his body gently, with a hint of pampering in his tone.
"Gah!"
Crow Feather shook his head and then called out.
Chika had been in contact with crow feather for a month and had come to understand his cry a little bit, so he asked, "It wasn't stolen, it was robbed?"
"Ga!" When he saw that Chika understood what he meant, he immediately shouted triumphantly.
"When did you become so capable that you could snatch the Konoha forehead protector from a ninja?"
Chika looked at Crow Feather in surprise. Although Crow Feather was much stronger than ordinary crows, there was still a gap between him and a ninja.
"Quack!"
Crow Feather shook his head again, but the cry was a bit complicated, and Chika couldn't understand it for a while.
"Could it be that some kid made a ninja forehead protector for no reason and pretended to be a ninja, and you found out and stole it?"
"Huh?"
"Not really."
Watching the interaction between the two, Shisui's originally disappointed expression due to being defeated instantly by Chika disappeared, and he kept staring at the crow.
Shisui asked, "Uncle, is this crow yours?"
"Um."
Chika said to Shisui, "Its name is Crow Feather. I met it last time I was out on a mission."
Shisui came forward curiously and observed the crow feathers on Chika's shoulders. The feathers were so shiny that they seemed to glow, which fully proved that the crow in front of him was in good condition. There was a hint of smartness in its dark eyes, and it seemed to have good intelligence as well.
The crow was slightly disgusted by Shisui's approach, so he turned around and pointed his butt towards Shisui.
This action did not disappoint Shisui but made him even happier.
"If you like crows, I'll bring back hundreds for you to choose from, but crow feathers won't do, as he is more intimate with me."
Chika smiled as he saw how much Shisui loved crows.
"It turns out that the reason there are so many crows in our tribe recently is that they belong to my uncle."
When Shisui heard this, he suddenly realized something. He had noticed that there had been a group of crows in the Uchiha clan's territory during this period. It turned out that they belonged to his uncle.
He had originally thought of looking for the crows' nest when he had some free time, but now it seems that there is no need.
"Uncle, is this, okay?"
Shisui asked, he knew that Chika must have brought the crows back not to keep them as pets, but to increase his combat power by numbers.
So, he was afraid that Chika loved him so much that he gave them to him reluctantly.
"It's okay, just a few crows, but you need to train them yourself."
He waved his hand nonchalantly. Since coming to Konoha Village, there were no large bird creatures around, which meant there were no natural enemies. The crows lived very well and had more nightlife.
Chika felt that a large number of crows would hatch soon.
"Stinky crow, give me back my forehead protector!"
Chika originally wanted Crow feather to take him and Shisui to see the crows' nest, but before he could open his mouth, he heard a voice coming. It seemed that the creature whose Konoha forehead protector was snatched away by Crow feather came looking for him.
He thought it was a little kid because of the childish voice, but when he turned around, he saw it was actually a puppy.
Then it's understandable why crow feather was able to snatch the Konoha forehead protector.
"Damned crow, I'll teach you a lesson when I grow up!"
The puppy ran to Chika's feet, ignoring him, the crow's owner, and just barked at Crow Feather.
"Gah!"
Facing the threat from the little dog, Crow Feather shouted casually, not taking it seriously at all.
"What?! You said I can't grow up? How is that possible!"
"Gah!"
"Humph, my mother said that my father is a large dog, so I will definitely grow up to be very big!"
"Gah!"
"My mother lied to me? Impossible!"
Seeing the crow and the dog arguing, Chika squatted down and kindly explained to the dog, "Well, your breed is called a pug in my place, and you really don't grow up!"
"You are the only one who can't grow up. Your whole family can't grow up either!"
[Negative emotions from the spirit beast Pakkun, emotion value +80!]
Chika: "."
This system really doesn't care about anything, it doesn't even let a dog go!
The psychic dog named Pakkun was obviously irritated by Chika and opened his mouth to bite his hand.
But before it could bite, it suddenly sniffed Chika's body and then started barking wildly.
"Woof woof woof!"
"Chika, so you are here."
And with Pakkun's shout, two figures came, they were Namikaze Minato and Hatake Kakashi.
It was obvious that the two of them came to the Uchiha clan's territory just for Chika.
However, when they arrived at Chika's house, they found that he had already left home, so Kakashi summoned Pakkun to find him.
Unexpectedly, before the person was found, the forehead protector on Pakkun's forehead was snatched away by a crow.
"It's Minato-senpai and Kakashi. So, this puppy is your summoning beast, Kakashi?"
"Well, it's called Pakkun."
Kakashi explained, and then emphasized, "It's a tracking dog, it doesn't have much fighting ability!"
Chika rolled his eyes when he heard this and asked, "Why do you have such a strong desire to win?"
"Crow Feather, return the Konoha forehead protector to Pakkun."
Seeing that they were all acquaintances, Chika couldn't let crow feather bully Pakkun any longer, so he called out.
He didn't expect that crow feather still didn't want to give it back.
"Don't make a fuss. I'll make one for you next time."
"Gah!"
After hearing what he said, crow feather finally allowed him to take the Konoha forehead protector.
Looking at the psychic Crow Feather, Shisui's eyes became brighter.
He returned the forehead protector under the crow's feather claws to Kakashi, and also introduced Shisui, Minato and Kakashi to each other.
Shisui said politely to Minato and Kakashi: "Minato-senpai, Kakashi-senpai, I am Uchiha Shisui. It's our first meeting. Please give me your guidance!"
"Hello, I'm Namikaze Minato, a Konoha jonin, please give me your guidance."
"Hello, I'm Hatake Kakashi, a Konoha Chuunin, please give me your guidance."
After the three of them finished greeting each other, Chika looked at Minato in confusion and asked, "Minato-senpai, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Minato smiled gently and said, "I heard that your confinement was over, so I came to see you."
No one comes to see you for no reason. Even if Chika is Kushina's disciple, Minato would not care about him that much as to come to see him as soon as he is out of confinement.
So Chika understood that Minato came here for a purpose.
"Kushina is still in detention, so Chika you don't have a team at the moment, right?"
Seeing Chika staring at him without saying anything, Minato could only smile awkwardly and told him why he came here.
Chika suddenly realized, scratched his head, and said: "Minato-senpai, do you want me to join your team? Is this in accordance with the rules?"
But Shisui's face looked unhappy, and the curious look he originally had towards Minato and Kakashi turned into a bit of hostility.
