Natsuki smiled and patiently explained: "Megumi, you think this way because you don't know the situation. Anko-sensei was once Orochimaru's disciple, and was later abandoned by Orochimaru. She was also given a Cursed Seal by Orochimaru. Once the Cursed Seal is activated, she will be in extreme pain. Even Konoha Hospital and Lord Hokage can't solve this. What are you blaming yourself for as a young girl?"
Kato Megumi looked up, her eyes full of surprise: "Is that so?"
"Of course! When have I ever lied to you?"
Natsuki said matter-of-factly, "And you played a role at that time. Many people chose to watch, but only you and Rinne helped Anko-sensei in time and tried to treat her. In this regard, you and Rinne are much better than many people!"
Kato Megumi took a deep breath, seemingly in a much better mood.
But she was still bothered: "Boss, I, I really want to help. I don't want to be useless!"
Natsuki stroked his chin, a little conflicted: "Although I really want to help you improve your strength, it's not possible in a short time. There are many ways to help. You know Medical Ninjutsu, that's one way. As for others... perhaps you need a Summoning Animal."
Summoning Animal, that was the only possibility Natsuki could think of that could help in a short time.
Strength improvement is not something that happens overnight. It's unlikely to suddenly become strong.
And Kato Megumi's Medical Ninjutsu is actually good. She has even learned Mystical Palm Technique. In Natsuki's opinion, she can actually help a lot, but this girl obviously feels it's not enough.
So the only thing he could think of was Summoning Animals.
"Summoning Animal?"
Kato Megumi's eyes lit up, "Yes! If I can contract a useful Summoning Animal, won't I be able to play a role? Won't I be able to help?"
Great, the little girl has regained her spirit!
Natsuki continued: "Your sister-in-law Tenten has a summoning scroll for the High Mountain Giant Eagle. Perhaps you can try it. The High Mountain Giant Eagle is very useful. Small ones can help transmit information, and large ones can carry people to fly. However, High Mountain Giant Eagles are relatively proud, so they might be difficult to tame...~."
Kato Megumi thought for a moment, but shook her head: "I want to help. If I contract the same Summoning Animal as Boss, it will be redundant. Are there any other Summoning Animals?"
Natsuki looked at the sky: "As for others, perhaps only Kakashi-senpai's Ninja Hounds can be contracted by you."
"Ninja Hounds? Kakashi-sensei's?"
"Yes, Kakashi-senpai's Summoning Animals are the Eight Ninja Hounds. Not only can they understand human language, but their sense of smell is also keen, which can greatly assist in searching and tracking. Even if the target is a thousand miles away, they can find them. To be honest, I'm actually worried that Orochimaru hasn't left yet. When we enter the Death Forest Exam, I'm afraid your sister-in-law Tenten and your friends will be in danger. If I can find everyone in time, I'll be much more at ease..."
"Then let's contract the Ninja Hounds, Boss!"
Kato Megumi's eyes were sparkling, "Actually, I really like dogs. If it's Ninja Hounds, I'm willing to contract them. And the Ninja Hounds' strong tracking ability can also help Boss, right?"
Seeing the girl like this, Natsuki finally breathed a sigh of relief: "That's right. Then let's go ask Kakashi-senpai and let you contract the Eight Ninja Hounds. Fortunately, there is no limit to the number of Summoning Animals you can contract. If you want to contract High Mountain Giant Eagles or other Summoning Animals in the future, you can also do so."
Kato Megumi regained her spirit, and Yamashiro Rinne was the happiest.
He said that Boss would have a way, and it didn't take long before Boss successfully cheered Megumi up.
Hearing that Megumi wanted to contract Kakashi-sensei's Summoning Animal, he naturally agreed wholeheartedly and clamored to go ask Kakashi-sensei together.
Kato Megumi also knew that her boyfriend was worried about her, and she felt a little guilty, so she couldn't help but pull his hand.
Yamashiro Aoba said he was getting sour from the public display of affection and quickly spoke: "I remember Kakashi is also training his students recently. Looking at the time, it should be time for lunch. He should be at Ichiraku Ramen. Let's go take a look."
Unexpectedly, Kakashi was indeed at Ichiraku Ramen, and the three members of Team Seven were also there.
But no matter how delicious Ichiraku Ramen is, you can't always eat it. Ninja training is so intense, just eating ramen is probably not enough.
"Yo! Kakashi, found you!"
Yamashiro Aoba raised his hand to greet him, "My student has something to ask you."
Kakashi raised his hand in response, then looked at Natsuki: "Natsuki, what is it? Speak."
Natsuki was about to speak, but was stopped by Kato Megumi: "Boss, let me talk about my own matters. Boss has already helped me a lot, I can't always rely on Boss!"
Natsuki closed his mouth upon hearing this, and he also greatly admired Kato Megumi's attitude.
When asking for something, you should have the attitude of asking for something. While Natsuki speaking would certainly succeed, Kato Megumi didn't want that. She wanted to be a useful person, and some things she had to do herself!
"¨． Kakashi-sensei!"
Kato Megumi bowed deeply to Kakashi, "I want to contract your Eight Ninja Hounds. I want to be someone who can help everyone, but I'm not strong enough, and my Medical Ninjutsu is still not good. But I really don't want to be useless! Boss said that Kakashi-sensei's Eight Ninja Hounds have very strong tracking abilities, so I want to contract them and play a role! So please, Kakashi-sensei!"
The three members of Team Seven were all surprised at this.
Sasuke nodded imperceptibly. He remembered Kato Megumi. She was once a member of his fan club, but after being assigned to Team Nine, she not only found a lover, but her strength was also increasing. What is most commendable is that Kato Megumi has a heart that is unwilling to be ordinary, wants to be a useful person, and works hard for it.
This is much better than a certain Sakura in their Team Seven!
Sakura also clenched her fists at this moment, looking at Kato Megumi deeply with a sweatdrop.
She used to have the best written test scores in the class, and her outdoor class scores were not bad. Perhaps she didn't even put Kato Megumi in her eyes.
However, after becoming a (Zhao Zhao) official Ninja, Kato Megumi's growth was obviously faster than hers. Not only did her strength improve, she also learned Medical Ninjutsu, and now she even plans to contract Kakashi-sensei's Ninja Hounds. It has to be said that Kato Megumi is really excellent, not only in action, but also in spirit.
Compared to her, Sakura Haruno seems very useless.
When encountering danger, it was always Sasuke and Naruto who were at the forefront, and she just watched foolishly, unable to help at all. Even if Sasuke and Naruto were injured, she could only do simple bandaging.
So useless!
She clearly begged Kakashi-sensei and asked him to increase her training!
But she still grew very, very slowly, she was too useless!
Sakura bit her lip unwillingly, but didn't know what to do.
Only Naruto, that guy, watched without a care in the world. Although he was surprised that Kato Megumi had sought out Kakashi-sensei, he didn't take it seriously. He was just that single-minded.
