"Shua~" Uchiha En's figure appeared out of thin air inside a room that looked like a Ninja Tool Shop.
The cats lying around the shop were all startled.
"Young man, next time you appear, could you give a warning first? You scared all my children." said the old woman wearing cat ears.
"My apologies, I'll be more careful next time," Uchiha En said with a smile.
"You said that last time too. Fine! Young man, what do you need me for? Let me be clear, I haven't found the passage you asked me to look for yet. If that's why you came, then go back!" Cat Granny said.
"Cat Granny, I didn't come about the passage. I wanted to ask if you have any Ninja Cats that have recently passed away? Or maybe Ninja Cats that are sick and near death?"
"Why do you ask?"
"I want to find a suitable vessel for a little fellow."
"Oh, I see! How about this one?" Cat Granny pointed to a small, pure white kitten lying next to the stove, which looked somewhat like a Ragdoll cat.
Uchiha En sensed the kitten's condition and found that its vitality was flickering precariously, like a candle flame in the wind.
"Cat Granny, it's..."
"It's sick. I don't know what illness it has, but it's been like this since birth. It's already quite rare for it to have lived half a year." As soon as Cat Granny finished speaking, the kitten's life aura completely vanished.
Cat Granny sighed.
Seeing this, Uchiha En instantly moved next to the kitten and placed his hand on its head.
A ball of red Chakra flowed from Uchiha En's hand into the kitten's body.
The kitten, which had previously shown no signs of life, suddenly opened its eyes. Its sky-blue pupils were instantly tinged with a layer of red, as if the sky had been shrouded in a mist of blood.
"How do you feel?" Uchiha En asked the kitten.
Hearing this, the kitten happily ran a large circle, then nodded.
"Cat Granny, thank you for your help." After speaking, Uchiha En picked up the kitten and instantly moved away from Cat Granny's Ninja Tool Shop.
After Uchiha En returned to Konoha, he began helping the Lesser Ten-Tails adapt to the cat's body. To make it easier to call her, Uchiha En gave her the name of the cat he had raised in his previous life.
Thus, the Lesser Ten-Tails was named—Nijo.
Speaking of this name, Uchiha En recalled the day he adopted his own kitten. At that time, Uchiha En was playing Mahjong with friends, and he was only missing a single 'Nijo' tile to win, but it wouldn't show up no matter what.
Coincidentally, when Uchiha En received a call from the pet shop saying the Ragdoll cat he had reserved had finished its vaccinations and could be taken home, Uchiha En drew the missing Nijo tile.
That's how the kitten's name was decided.
Unknowingly, a month passed. Nijo grew extremely fast during this month. Her soul was never that of a child; her memory was only removed during the modification process. Now, after a month of learning, Nijo is already like a 14 or 15-year-old youth.
"Nijo, how do you feel about this body?" Uchiha En asked.
The Ragdoll cat, lying lazily in Uchiha En's arms, opened its eyes upon hearing the question. The pupils, which had previously been tinged with blood-red, had returned to sky blue, indicating that Nijo had successfully gained control of the body.
"Not bad. Although this body is very weak and has very little Chakra, it's at least much freer than staying inside your body," Nijo replied while licking her paw.
Uchiha En smiled slightly upon hearing this. He wondered if it was because she occupied the kitten's body, but Nijo's habits were increasingly resembling those of a cat.
"Huh? Whose house is that over there?" Nijo suddenly raised a paw, pointed southeast, and asked.
