But then, the River King didn't do anything.
"Huh?" Kaoru was stunned for a second or two before remembering that he hadn't added the Giant Tongue Lash skill point in the hero space yet.
"It seems that the summoned beast can only use it after I add the skill in the hero space." Kaoru analyzed, "In that case, then Devour!"
The River King opened its bloody mouth, revealing its sharp teeth. Immediately, it stretched out its long tongue.
This tongue was full of muscles, and it looked very strong and powerful.
Then the tongue stretched out like lightning, directly wrapping Kaoru up, and then put him in its mouth together.
This set of processes was smooth and flowing, taking almost less than a second.
"Perfect defense!" Kaoru, who was staying in the River King's huge mouth, was very satisfied.
The space here was very large, sitting on the tongue was very soft, and he could also get the outside situation through the River King's eyes.
Of course, using this trick to capture the enemy was also a very good choice.
"With the summoning jutsu, my strength will take another step." Kaoru thought happily.
At this time, in Konoha Village.
"I saw it!" Shin found the cat they were trying to catch in a remote alley. At this time, the cat was lying next to the trash can, licking a rotten, smelly fish with its tongue.
"Hey, come here..." Shin walked over gently, preparing to capture the cat in one fell swoop.
When he walked to less than a meter away from the cat, the cat suddenly jumped up, jumped onto the trash can, and then used the trash can to jump to the roof.
"I can't let you run away!" Seeing this, Shin quickly took out the scroll and paintbrush, then!
"Ninja Art, Super Beast Imitation Drawing!" In a moment, a small snake appeared on the drawing paper.
As soon as Shin stopped writing, the small snake chased after the cat's footsteps like a spring!
"Meow!" The cat cried softly, waving its paw, and directly slapped the small snake drawn by Shin into ink.
"This..." Shin was about to cry, his ninjutsu couldn't even handle a cat.
Then the cat ran onto the roof and ran to another place.
Shin didn't have time to be frustrated, and immediately chased along the street.
Before he chased for long, he met Hina, who was also running.
"I just saw that cat!" Hina said to Shin.
Shin nodded: "I saw it too, it's on the roof!"
"Meow!" Another cat cry, the cat had already jumped down from the roof and ran towards the outside of Konoha Village.
"Chase!" Hina and Shin looked at each other and chased out of the village.
"Chase!" Hina and Shin looked at each other and chased out of the village.
"You can't keep the River King in reality for a long time. It's better to show this strength after a while. Now that I've tested its power, let it go back."
After a moment, Kaoru jumped out of the River King's mouth again, preparing to remove the summoning jutsu.
"Meow." At this moment, a cat cry sounded. Kaoru followed the sound and found that the cat that Team 8 was looking for was actually on a tree more than ten meters away.
"It's really easy to get it without any effort."
Kaoru thought to himself. How did this cat appear here? Did it smell the River King's taste?
After all, the prototype of the River King was a catfish, and it was estimated that the kitten ran here because it smelled the fishy smell.
"Little cat, little cat, this fish can't be swallowed by your mouth." Kaoru smiled.
The cat stared with a pair of dark green eyes. After recognizing that the food it originally wanted to find was a behemoth, it was startled.
Its fur stood on end, its back arched, and after a low cry, it turned and ran.
"I don't know if the River King can do it at a distance of more than ten meters." Kaoru thought to himself, then manipulated the River King.
"Devour!"
"Swish!" The River King's mouth opened again, and the tongue shot out directly like a spring, like a giant snake with wings flying in the air.
The distance of more than ten meters arrived in an instant.
Only the kitten heard a cry of panic, and the tip of the tongue had already wrapped around its body.
Then the tongue quickly returned, swallowing the kitten into its mouth.
"This attack distance... is much farther than I used Devour myself." Kaoru exclaimed.
The farthest distance he could use Devour with the Sharingan was estimated to be only two meters, but when the River King used it, it was simply a world of difference.
But there was nothing to complain about.
After all, this was originally its skill. What's more, the River King was still at his command.
Then, Kaoru once again manipulated the River King to spit out the kitten in its mouth, and Kaoru took the opportunity to hold the kitten in his hand.
"I didn't expect that I would catch you instead. Where are the other two guys..."
Kaoru stroked the cat's back, comforting its frightened heart, and then heard two voices.
"Hanahana!" This crisp and sweet voice was Hina's.
"Meow!" This... Kaoru frowned, this was Shin's, he actually learned to meow in order to find the cat.
However, seeing his partners approaching, Kaoru waved his hand and removed the summoning jutsu.
The River King turned into smoke and disappeared again.
Then, he hugged the cat and greeted them.
"Hi, you two, I've caught the cat!" Kaoru said to Hina and Shin, who were rushing over, then showed the kitten in his arms.
"Finally caught it." Hina bent over and gasped, "I'm so tired."
"Yeah, I almost caught it just now. I drew a snake with ninjutsu, but I didn't expect it to run away." Shin also said.
Kaoru rolled his eyes at him: "Then why didn't you draw a fish to attract it?"
"Uh..." Shin was speechless, he didn't think of this good idea at all.
"Alright, alright, since we've found it, let's go to Ichiraku Ramen to find Kurenai-sensei first."
Kaoru said, then hugged the cat and returned to Konoha Village with Hina and Shin.
After finding Kurenai Yuhi again, everyone handed in the mission together. After a moment, everyone had more than a thousand ryo in their hands.
This was the reward for their mission, a total of five thousand ryo.
"Really, why does Kurenai-sensei have to take away a part of it? In this case, our already small reward is even smaller."
Shin walked in front, complaining unhappily.
"I can hear your words clearly, you little brat." Behind him, Kurenai Yuhi's voice came.
Shin shrank his body and stopped talking.
Kaoru touched the more than a thousand ryo in his arms, and also felt that the reward for the D-rank mission was pitifully low.
"Ryo" was the unit of currency in this world, and a bowl of Ichiraku Ramen in Konoha cost dozens of ryo.
So, more than a thousand ryo was really not much money...
The key was that Kurenai Yuhi shamelessly took away a part of it, calling it a tuition fee.
