Chapter 17: Ch.17 Last Ninneko-Using Uchiha in the Shinobi World
After a short while, Uchiha Shinji left the alley, feeling quite satisfied.
To contract Coalball, he had to pay a one-time fee of 500,000 ryō and a high single-use summoning cost of 5,000 ryō.
Of course.
He also laid out several conditions.
For instance, Coalball was not allowed to disclose any information about him to anyone else—not even to other ninnekos.
Also, as long as he remained alive, Coalball was forbidden from signing a summoning contract with any other shinobi and had to serve only him.
After securing the contract with Coalball, Shinji didn't leave Cat Fortress immediately. Instead, he went to meet One-Eyed Dragon and Three-Leaf and then returned to the tabby cat that sold information.
This time, he held 1,000 ryō in his hand: "I've seen the ones you mentioned, and none of them satisfy me. If you want to earn this money, introduce me to a truly strong one!"
The tabby cat stared longingly at the money in Shinji's hand. "What? Even One-Eyed Dragon didn't satisfy you? That guy fought in the Third Great Shinobi War and faced off against a Jonin from Hidden Stone!"
"Too ugly!"
The tabby cat reluctantly tore its gaze from the money in Shinji's hand and thought for a moment before saying, "Princess Fūhime!"
