Chapter 19 Kitten
Uchiha Gen transferred the box of money he had just received directly to the system. These past few days, wanting to avoid attracting attention, he had visited every casino imaginable.
But it seems that he was still being a bit too high-profile. Major casinos have started to be wary of strangers like himself entering, which makes Uchiha Gen feel that they are a bit stingy. They make a little money in one place, but not much.
Of course, this is just Uchiha Gen talking without understanding the situation, since he's not the one making the money. But who would complain about making too much money?
They scraped together the last million taels, leaving 100,000 taels as expenses. Even if they didn't need to eat or enjoy anything, they still needed to change their clothes and buy some kunai, shuriken, explosive tags, and the like.
However, just after leaving the ninja tool shop, Uchiha Gen was bewildered when a black and white kitten started pestering him. The kitten was a little dirty, and a small piece of its ear was missing. The kitten circled around him, trying to trip him up, with a fawning expression.
The problem is, I didn't buy anything to eat this time, and even with the skin simulator, my body temperature is significantly lower than normal. How could I possibly attract animals?
Gen Uchiha picked up the kitten by the scruff of its neck, stared at it for a moment, then sighed, put the cat down, and let's see if it follows.
"Boss, I'd like a fish!" However, Uchiha Gen instinctively chose a fish slightly larger than a kitten. ...Oh well, he took out the kunai he'd just bought. He quickly cleaned the scales and innards, then cut it into small pieces.
Genji Uchiha picked up a small piece of fish and waved it in front of the kitten. "Is this what you want?" he asked.
The kitten's eyes widened instantly, and it meowed. Uchiha Gen tossed it a piece of meat. The kitten grabbed the meat and ran off.
Uchiha Gen: "..." No, this was originally meant for it. Why would I give up all these fish pieces when I already have them?
Could there be kittens? Or is this just the mother cat?
Half an hour later...
Uchiha Yuan muttered to himself, "...Haven't we arrived yet?" Coming all this way to find food, aren't you worried about your cubs being eaten by other animals?
Or perhaps... the kitten scurried into a dilapidated house, if it could even be called a house at all, as this so-called house couldn't even provide the most basic shelter from the rain.
The kitten put down the fish pieces and ran to a corpse, meowing. Uchiha Gen silently stared at it. It was the corpse of a little boy, probably around seven or eight years old, already showing signs of rigor mortis, with bruises all over his body, especially on his legs. He looked like he had starved to death.
This should be a rather tragic story, but Gen Uchiha had no interest in delving into it. There are far too many people like that in this world… too many to manage.
I looked at the kitten, and there were some dead sparrows, mice and the like around it, most of which were half-eaten, and a sausage that was no longer edible.
The kitten was still meowing there, as if asking the servant, "What do you want to eat?" I've brought the food. Shall we get up and eat?
As it meowed, the kitten picked up a piece of fish with its mouth, intending to feed it to the boy.
Uchiha Gen sighed inwardly and suddenly lifted the kitten by the scruff of its neck. The kitten seemed very surprised, wondering why someone would suddenly appear behind it.
He subconsciously tried to scratch Uchiha Gen, but found that he couldn't reach him at all. He twisted around a few times and finally gave up.
"Little thing, he's already dead, you know that, right?" Uchiha Gen said, but he didn't know what nerve he touched, and the kitten suddenly became frantic. It didn't know where the strength came from, but it kicked out with its paws, leaving several bloody marks on Uchiha Gen's hand.
"..." Uchiha Gen, can he actually understand? He used his Sharingan to look at the kitten, and the kitten immediately quieted down, as if it had fallen asleep.
Honestly, it's lucky that the body wasn't carried away by wild dogs or other animals. The Uchiha used the Fireball Jutsu to cremate him and buried him in a jar.
When the kitten woke up, it found itself being held in someone's arms. A piece of fish was placed in its mouth. Had its servant woken up? The kitten could no longer resist and began to wolf down the food, tears welling up in its eyes.
Gen Uchiha took out a tissue and wiped the cat's eyes; it wouldn't look good if it left tear stains. He was currently contemplating whether to keep the cat, watching as it finished eating and fell asleep again.
"..." Anyway, we haven't finished eating the fish we bought yet, so we'll keep it for now and send it away when we find a suitable home.
I'm still short 100 million taels. I'll go to a few more casinos and finish that up.
It has to be said that under the Sharingan, everyone's cards are revealed, and you can even see some people cheating. Of course, since they are also cheaters, Uchiha Gen is too lazy to expose them.
Seeing the dice roll, Uchiha Gen bet on "small," and some others, seeing that Uchiha Gen seemed to have good luck, also bet on "small."
However, this time they lost, and the bookmaker breathed a sigh of relief. If so many people had won, they would have lost a lot of money, and if all else failed, they would have to resort to underhanded tactics.
Suddenly, a woman's cursing voice was heard: "I thought I could make money this time, but I didn't expect this kid to lose. Shizune, let's go to another place." Tsunade left angrily.
Shizune, carrying Ton-Ton, quickly caught up with Tsunade. "Lady Tsunade, we really can't gamble anymore. We can barely afford to keep the inn running."
Uchiha Gen: "..." When he entered the casino, he had already seen Tsunade, but Tsunade hadn't come to this betting table before. Seeing that he was on a winning streak, she suddenly bet on him and just happened to bet on the hand that he wanted to throw. Her luck was unbelievable.
But to be honest, if we had won, that would have been truly unlucky.
Uchiha Gen rubbed the cat's head, but unfortunately he couldn't feel the smooth texture of the cat's fur. The kitten's eyes were a little blank, but it didn't resist. No one knew what was going on in its little head.
He deliberately walked to a secluded spot and said, "If you want to live, you'd better hand over your money." Wow, this time the haul was pretty good; there were actually four robbers.
Emerging from the secluded spot, Uchiha Gen confirmed that after submitting the document, it was alright; he was still short 410,000 taels. These four people were quite wealthy, with a combined total of 20,000 taels.
Uchiha Gen complained, "Can the system give me a discount?"
However, this time the system completely ignored him.
Uchiha Gen never imagined that even after transmigrating and dying, he would still have to worry about money.
Suddenly I saw a pet store, glanced at the kitten in my arms, and thought I'd take it in for a bath. Speaking of which, does my own skin even need a bath?
Orochimaru, accompanied by Kabuto and dragging his crippled hands, was searching for Tsunade. As he passed by, his vertical pupils narrowed slightly, as if he sensed a familiar feeling.
However, the condition of his hands made him temporarily abandon thinking about these things.
Gen Uchiha naturally sensed Orochimaru's approach. His attitude towards Orochimaru was: Stay away from me, don't bother me, and I won't bother you (for now).
