Sasuke Uchiha didn't want to go home today either.

After completing the mission, he still asked Planet Saiki to learn from each other, even though they had been learning from each other for nearly a week.

It all started from a day a week ago …

Planet Saiki had a strange-looking kitten.

All three of them knew this, and she brought the cat to complete the mission.

But according to Planet Saiki's performance in previous classes and recent missions,

Sasuke Uchiha didn't think she was a ninja who specialized in using a ninja cat.

But it was true.

Planet Saiki really solved a lot of problems perfectly with her cat.

For example, the D-level mission they were currently taking.

It was really boring and childish, whether it was weeding or catching escaped pets for others.

Or going to the construction site to help.

In Sasuke Uchiha's opinion, it was a waste of time. Although he probably knew that the teachers thought it was a good way to test them and the best way to hone their sense of teamwork, the fact was that the most skillful pet catching mission was completely completed by Planet Saiki.

Although Sasuke Uchiha didn't believe it himself, Planet Saiki's cats did have some special skills. Communication skills and foreign language ability?

When he first saw the pure white hairless red-eyed cat, he was shocked. He couldn't imagine why Planet Saiki raised such a cat.

And when they completed the pet-related mission before, Sasuke Uchiha also felt a little headache. In some ways, cats and dogs' intuition and sensitivity were actually better than ninjas. Catching pets was quite difficult. The most troublesome thing was finding these animals.

Originally, Naruto excitedly proposed to let Sasuke Uchiha check with Sharingan. Of course, Sasuke Uchiha refused.

But Sasuke Uchiha absolutely refused to admit the fact that he hadn't opened his eyes in front of Naruto Uzumaki, who was at the bottom of the list.

So these missions were quite difficult for the four-person team.

Therefore, Planet Saiki proposed to let her cat help.

Originally, Sasuke Uchiha didn't expect it to really work.

He agreed to Planet Saiki's proposal, but he didn't want to waste more time.

After he saw Planet Saiki's cat, he was even more suspicious of her proposal.

But when the four people at the same time witnessed Planet Saiki's cat easily find the target white cat sleeping on the roof of the Hokage's office,

They were a little surprised.

When the four people saw Planet Saiki's cat circling around the white cat again,

And kept making meow meow meow, occasionally, the white cat responded lazily.

Not long after, the white cat stood up.

He seemed to have started a heated argument with the other party. The others were even more surprised.

Planet Saiki's cat's diplomatic skills?

Not long after that,

The white cat jumped down from the roof.

Walked to their side,

She raised her chin arrogantly.

Sat on the ground and looked at them.

Planet Saiki's cat also ran over and meowed a few times at Planet Saiki. She nodded and reached out to pick up the white cat. The extremely grumpy white cat in the mission description was so docile in her hands.

Naruto was very interested in the cat in Planet Saiki's arms. He reached out to touch the white cat, but before he could reach it, he was scratched by the white cat and received a huge eye roll from the white cat.

Sasuke Uchiha suddenly felt that Planet Saiki's cat might be really unusual.

However, the truth was far more bizarre than Sasuke Uchiha thought.

It was another mission about pets, but this time, it was different. They were facing a naughty hound.

Planet Saiki brought her cat again, and Sasuke Uchiha had no objection. Although this time it really had nothing to do with her cat, Sasuke Uchiha didn't know why he acquiesced to her strange behavior.

They didn't have any objections, and of course, they didn't think that the cat could be of any help.

But the four of them saw Planet Saiki's cat barking at the target dog at the corner of the street.

Whether it was Whirlpool Naruto, Sakura Harano, or himself, they were all stunned. They really couldn't imagine that cats nowadays were so powerful.

They could even speak a foreign language?

When they handed in the mission, Naruto was still murmuring, "How can a cat bark at a dog?

How can, how can … "

But Sasuke Uchiha and Whirlpool Naruto thought differently. Only the last one thought that it was a cat, but he knew that this strange creature definitely had nothing to do with a cat.

At least its IQ was definitely not comparable to that of ordinary cats and dogs, but he didn't think that it was a ninja cat or a ninja dog. It was too far-fetched to say that it was a cat or a dog with such an appearance. Only an idiot like Naruto would believe it.

He went home in a daze. He didn't have slippers yet, so he was stunned at the door, thinking about how to tell his mother about his adventure today.

But he heard his father's voice. Why did his father come back so early today?

He seemed to hear his father anxiously discussing something with his mother.

He was a little curious, but he didn't mean to eavesdrop. His father's voice was a little louder.

"Don't worry," his mother comforted his father. "It will be fine."

"How can I not worry?"

His father seemed to be pacing back and forth in the house. "Although it is a little early for the children in the family, he is the same. Sasuke, Sasuke, he is —"

Sasuke's eyes widened. It had something to do with him?

What on earth was going on?

"I know. He is your son and my son. He is our child. Of course, he is different."

"You tell me, how can I not worry?"

His father sighed. "Look at Uchiha … his brother. He opened his eyes at such a young age. Then look at Uchiha Shisui. How can I not worry?"

Sasuke Uchiha's breath stagnated. He was indeed a little worried that he hadn't opened his eyes yet. But in recent years, not many children in the family had opened their eyes. Those who had opened their eyes were fifteen or sixteen years old teenagers who had gone to the battlefield.

Few children like him had opened their eyes. But he was different. He had been educated since he was a child, and the people he had met — whether it was his father, mother, Itachi and Shisui — were all geniuses.

He had firmly believed that as long as he worked hard, he could surpass them, and he could be as good as them.

But now, he was twelve years old. He hadn't opened his eyes yet.

He even doubted — could he really open his eyes?

Was he really as good as the others, the teachers, and the classmates said? After all, he felt that he was not as good as Planet Saiki and the other people in the previous batch.

He doubted whether he had inherited the blood of the Uchiha Clan.

His parents had never mentioned this in front of him before. But during the mission, Vortex Naruto had asked him about opening his eyes. At that time, he was sensitive enough to realize this.

He, Sasuke Uchiha, was not that good at all. Maybe he would become a mediocre person. Or rather, he would be a good-for-nothing.

He walked out of the house with a gloomy expression and walked towards the woods by the river without looking back. He sat by the stream and watched the clear water flow happily, but his heart was not relaxed at all. Instead, there was a heavy feeling of being pressed down by a huge rock, making it hard for him to breathe.

He had worked so hard — in order to become better, he had even used all his means — but he had only received a so-so evaluation from Hatake Kakashi. He had even left a worse impression on Hatake Kakashi than Planet Saiki.

For the first time, he was so confused. In the past few years, he had gradually understood that he had opened his eyes so late. He was so scared that he would really become a good-for-nothing in his father's eyes. He had tried his best, he had tried so hard to catch up, but he still could not catch up with Planet Saiki.

He was so scared, so he kept looking for Planet Saiki to learn from each other. So he tried his best to compete for the first place in the school. So he wanted to be the first to pass Hatake Kakashi's test.

Although he succeeded.

But everything had traces of Planet Saiki. She had taught him swordsmanship. On the one hand, he was grateful, but on the other hand, he felt powerless because he could not catch up with her.

She had tried hard to hide, so he could be the first.

She had made everyone pass the test together.

He was grateful to Planet Saiki and even admired her. But on the other hand, he longed to defeat her and make her look up to him.

But now, his incompetence — his inability to open his eyes seemed to indicate the deep and insurmountable gap between him and her.

He suddenly stood up, frowned, and looked at the stream. His frown deepened. He would never let that happen.

No matter what, he must defeat Planet Saiki. He must open his eyes. He would definitely achieve his goal. He would stand at the top.

No one, nothing could stop him.

No one, nothing.

Whether it was Uchiha Itachi or Planet Saiki — he would defeat them.

He, Sasuke Uchiha, would be stronger than them.

He kicked a stone in front of him fiercely, watching it fall into the stream and disappear. With a cold face, he left without looking back.

He, Sasuke Uchiha, would never allow anything to stop him. Never.
