96. Shino’s Anime Filler, Episode 3: Sasuke’s Paw Encyclopedia, Part 3
*Kiba's Harem Expanded to Three!*
“Tamaki-chan, please, move in with me! My sister works at a veterinary clinic; she can get you a job there if you want.”
“You really mean it? That’d be awesome. Then, when I’ve got my feet under me, I could bring ninneko to the Hidden Leaf!”
“I’ll support you as well, Tamaki-chan. The Aburame clan has resources you can leverage to start a business of your own taking stray cats off the street and training them as ninneko for D-rank missions throughout the Village. That’ll take some of the weight off our Genin.”
We’re back in the old woman’s apartment trying to romance Tamaki into coming home with us. It’s going well.
“I don’t want to leave Granny Cat alone…” the brunette says as a token objection.
“Nonsense,” the grey-haired cat lady protests, “I’ve got a few more years left in me, and I have a job to do here.”
“Granny Cat,” I address her directly, “Since the Uchiha clan is no more, I’d like to offer you the Aburame clan’s protection. In exchange for maintaining a mutually beneficial connection with the Sky District, I can fund periodic missions to fulfill your needs. Also, you’d be welcome in my estate if you ever do decide to retire.”
“The sentiment is appreciated, young matriarch, even if I never take you up on the latter. As for the former, I wouldn’t mind having a few strapping lads about to help with the ‘chores’ now that I’m getting on in years. You’ve got a deal, nya.”
“Then,” Tamaki says, her hands in Kiba’s, and she leans in to press her forehead against Kiba’s, “Yes. I’ll move in with you.” Kiba’s Naruko is there, hugging the couple from the side and kissing each in turn.
The door slams open.
“We’re back, nya!” Kin-Kitty exclaims as she struts in with pep in her step. She leaps into my arms like a pet eager to get her mistress’s approval. “It went really well!”
Sasuke still looks depressed (and like he got stuck in a blender on ‘puree’), and Fubuki looks like something crawled into her morning cereal and died.
“What happened?” I ask as Fubuki approaches me. “And why does your breath smell like tuna?”
She tearfully confesses, “We got split up and I somehow wound up in a fancy bar filled with cats. I had to kiss one to convince them to help me sneak inside the fortress…”
“Was it a boy cat or a girl cat?”
“…A girl cat? Why?”
“That’s fine, then.”
“How is that fine!?!”
Sasuke interrupts, his frustration boiling over, “I had everything under control. Nekomata thought he’d beaten me, but I was about to drop the ceiling on him with the explosive tags I had hidden around… And then Kin-chan’s flock of Ice Sparrows swooped in and tore the whole place apart.”
“Nekomata didn’t know what hit him,” Kin confirms. “And I learned some cool new tricks!” Kin-Kitty flexes her fingers, making her nails grow to the length of swords before being enveloped in flowing chakra. “Cat Chakra Claws! There was a really nice ninneko with a lightning-bolt mark on his head who taught me how to do it! Having the Sharingan helped a lot, though. Also, I stole Nekomata’s genjutsu.”
“That has to be weaker than the Sharingan Genjutsu, though?” I question.
“Well, I understand this one better, and I wasn’t making any progress with the other. Anyway, Shino-chan, I have something I want to show you.” She hops down from my embrace to stand on her own feet.
“Let’s see it,” I say with no idea what she has in mind.
She takes a deep breath before straightening and performing the hand sign for, “Transformation!”
When the puff of smoke clears, it’s still Kin-Kitty, but she’s subtly different. Her human ears are gone, replaced by fluffy black fur. Her feet are now paws, her hands mostly human but with retractable claws instead of nails. The tail she’s sporting—it’s the real deal, not a butt plug (making her ass available for more fun!), and those twitching cat ears have tiny blood vessels! She opens her eyes to meet my gaze with slit pupils.
“You’re a catgirl! A real catgirl!” I take her head in my hands and rub her ears with my thumbs. She nuzzles into my touch affectionately while purring. Real, authentic purring!
“It’s alright?” she asks me with trepidation, fearing my disapproval.
“More than alright! This is awesome!” I’ve harbored deep-seated fantasies about catgirls in my heart since my previous life. “It’s a dream come true!”
The Naruto universe is the kind of world where otherwise normal people could totally walk around in ‘real’ fursonas once everyone gets over the initial strangeness of the idea.
“I’d like to stay like this all the time, with your purrmission, of course, Shino-chan.”
I see. Yes, I know it’ll take a bit of chakra to maintain the Transformation, but who am I to say no? “What brought this on?”
“Ever since Karin-chan told me to change the feel of my chakra and Tenten-chan took me as her pet kitty, I’ve been thinking about this. What if I could be cuter, fluffier, while still sexy and catch my mistress’s eye? I’ve never been so cared for, never gotten so much attention until staying with you and the girls. It started as staying for protection from Orochimaru-kun, but it’s more now. Everyone shared their bodies with me, and I enjoy giving myself to them. I want to be the cutest pet possible for our family! I want everyone to keep loving me!”
I kiss Kin-Kitty to show her my love and pull her inside myself for a full-body Amalgamation embrace.
“Do you have the pawprint?” Granny Cat asks the others, giving us a little privacy. Sighing deeply, Sasuke withdraws a folded paper from his torn shirt and hands it to the old woman. “Then I consider this mission a success.”
Me too!
Back at home…
“Tenten-chan, I have a surprise for you~”
“A r-r-r-real c-c-c-catgirl?!? Shino-chan, you’re my SSS-rank wife! Kin-Kitty, you look incredible! Here,” she whips out a pink collar with a bell on it, “This is long overdue. I had it commissioned a while back, but wasn’t sure how you felt about collars…”
“I love it,” Kin says as she eagerly dons the choker with a bell reminiscent of her singular original jutsu. She looks thoughtful. “Hmm, maybe I could… Bell Sound Clone!”
The bell tinkles as Kin moves, producing a plethora of Kitty-Clones that fill the room with catgirls.
Tenten and I have died and gone to the Pure Lands!
