Chapter 252

Along the way, the Cat Boss led the two teams, a total of eight people, constantly moving toward the mountain peak.

Along the way, one could see some cat clan members responsible for vigilance from time to time; these members, after seeing the Cat Boss's arrival, expressed their respect to this Ninja Cat elder one after another.

After constantly moving toward the top of the mountain, everyone finally saw the magnificent palace at the top of the mountain.

In front of the palace, there were many burly Ninja Cats with strong auras standing meticulously at the gate of the palace.

"Elder!"

The guard cats saluted after seeing the Cat Boss; after the Cat Boss explained the Cat King's instructions to the guards, the guards immediately let them pass.

After entering the palace, everyone discovered that it was much larger than imagined.

The row upon row of buildings were built along the mountain, constantly spreading upward toward the distance of the mountain peak, and at the very top, there was a palace emitting golden light.

After experiencing three different levels of checkpoints, the Cat Boss finally led everyone to the magnificent hall at the top of the mountain.

"Supreme Hall"

Mizunuki Ryosuke silently recited the four big characters on the palace plaque.

This palace built by the Ninja Cats gave him a faint feeling of familiarity, as if he had arrived at the royal garden of China in his previous life.

Thinking of this, Mizunuki Ryosuke shook his head gently, throwing other miscellaneous thoughts behind him.

After being reported, the guards at the palace entrance soon brought news, and he spoke to the Cat Boss meticulously.

"Elder, the King's imperial order."

"You can only bring two people in."

These words were also heard by everyone without missing a word; needless to say, those following the Cat Boss into the palace were naturally Mizunuki Ryosuke and Hozuki Mangetsu.

The two were also about to accept the last assessment set by the Ninja Cat clan in this palace, competing for the opportunity to become Mizukage.

Subsequently, the two followed the burly Cat Boss and entered the Cat King's palace side by side.

The remaining six members of the team waited at the palace entrance.

Inside the palace, the scene Mizunuki Ryosuke imagined did not appear.

An elegant king sat on the throne, the palace was full of all kinds of civil and military officials, and strong guards of the cat clan stood on both sides of the palace—

Instead, the magnificent and large palace was not that luxurious at this moment, but presented a monotonous black and white color.

If one stared at the walls inside the palace, one would find that the black and white colors on the walls seemed to be floating slightly.

·· Please give flowers ·· ··

Besides this, there was only a huge black and white throne in the large palace; on the black and white throne, an extremely fat body was slumped on the throne, with an extremely indecent posture.

Besides this, there was no one else inside the palace.

"Your Majesty, I have brought the people."

At the moment of seeing this fat figure on the throne, the Cat Boss knelt on one knee respectfully, without any hesitation, seeming to be extremely respectful to this big fat cat in front of him.

"Hmm—"

"Brought them, huh, humans from the Kirigakure Ninja Village—"

The big fat cat rubbed his sleepy eyes and said slowly to the Cat Boss in an extremely lazy way; it looked like this big fat cat was in a dream before the three came in.

Obviously, this big fat cat was the ruler of this Cat Country—the Cat King.

Taking this opportunity, Ryosuke sized up this Cat King whose image was unexpectedly different.

This Cat King was similar to Miao Taro whom Ryosuke met in the cave, with an orange fur color all over his body.

This sentence could also be considered to accurately present the characteristic of "nine out of ten big orange cats are fat."

At first glance, the size of the Cat King was not much different from the burly Cat Boss, but they went to two completely opposite extremes.

Unlike the lean and strong Cat Boss, the Cat King's body seemed to be composed entirely of fat.

And these were not the most eye-catching; the most distinct feature of the Cat King was that he actually had a full eight arms.

Eight short and thick arms grew from both sides of the shoulder blades, looking somewhat ridiculous.

"Elder, you step down first."

After his consciousness was completely clear, the Cat King said to the Cat Boss kneeling on the ground below.

Upon hearing this, the Cat Boss seemed a bit hesitant, but after a moment, he chose to turn and leave.

After the Cat Boss left, only Mizunuki Ryosuke and Hozuki Mangetsu were left in the entire palace.

"Human, I already know what you did in the cave."

"I have to say, what you did can be considered as solving a not-so-small hidden danger for my clan."

"You can bring up any requirements, and I, on behalf of the Cat clan, can try my best to satisfy you."

"Even if you want the Cat Boss to become your summoning beast, I can agree."

Who knew that after the Cat Boss left, the Cat King directly released a trump card.
