Chapter Forty-Four: Catching the 'Cat'

  Meng Ling's side was another story. After using Shadow Clone, she suddenly found that her Mixed Yuan Divine Power was still very abundant, as if she hadn't used it at all.

  "So that's how it is, the Chaotic Divine Power was originally the strongest energy in each dimension. Moreover, the Natural Power I absorbed earlier can be replenished by absorbing the energy between heaven and earth. Now, through merging with my Chaotic Divine Power, it has become a driver of Natural Power, constantly absorbing the natural energy between heaven and earth to form the Chakra of magic. And since my Chaotic Divine Power is like a mechanical driver, I don't even need to split my spiritual power to control it. It seems that as long as heaven and earth exist, my energy will be almost infinite. Hehe, if that's the case... Multiple Shadow Clone Technique." Meng Ling clasped her hands together in a seal, using her long-awaited Multiple Shadow Clone Technique. She knew that from now on, her cultivation speed would definitely accelerate again.

  After about fifty clones appeared, Meng Ling immediately started her 'catch cat action'.

  "As soon as you're discovered, immediately dispel the shadow clones. The rest of us will rush over." Meng Ling instructed her many shadow clones.

  "Understood." The numerous clones responded in unison.

  "...Scatter!" Meng Ling waved her right hand and fifty shadow clones simultaneously rushed towards different directions of the Konoha Village forest.

  In fact, Meng Ling didn't separate too many shadow clones also because she understood that although her current energy could be said to be almost infinite, Meng Ling still knew not to show off randomly. After all, although she was very powerful, she didn't want people to stare at her every day due to her strength. If it really came to that point, not only would 'Xiao' and Orochimaru stare at her, but even the "Root" of Konohagakure wouldn't get along with her.

  Including the main body, a total of 51 dream wings conducted a carpet search against the forest of Mokuyou Village. Although Dream Wing only remembered that it was a brown kitten with a red butterfly knot on its right ear, other characteristics were not well remembered by Dream Wing. After all, when Tenshou Captain explained this mission just now, Dream Wing was thinking about other things and didn't hear any information at all.

  "This time, it's just about training my speed. This time, I absolutely cannot use the Devil Fruit's elementalization ability. Let me temper my original body well." Dreaming thought to herself.

  "Hmm... I've found that damned cat." At this time, Meng Ling discovered that one of his shadow clones had been released, and the other shadow clones also rushed in that direction.

  "Target found." After seeing Ah Hu still running quickly in the forest, Meng Leng immediately dispelled his shadow clone. This time, Meng Leng wanted to properly train his reaction ability and speed.

  Everyone knows that even if the speed is exactly the same, a smaller creature will have an absolute advantage. Now, Meng Leng's speed is more than twice as fast as that little cat called Ah Hu, but Ah Hu has the advantage of size. Plus, felines are naturally suited for running in the wild and have the geographical advantage.

  "It seems that way, my challenge is not that big after all. From now on, I won't use the mixed yuan god power and natural power to give me the Xian technique Chakra, it's not bad to just rely on my own body to act. Having some challenges might make this task less boring."

  "This time, let me have a good play, I can even let you go with one hand." As she spoke, Meng Ling put her usual right hand behind her back, ready to take action.

  "Up." Meng Ling's right foot lightly tapped on a branch and jumped down from the tree, rushing towards Ah Hu.

  "Meow..." Ah Hu, seeming to sense a hint of danger, sped up once again and in the blink of an eye, darted into a nearby thicket, disappearing from Meng Leng's sight.

  "It seems that those people in the original Naruto were right, this cat has definitely run away many times and is already so skilled at it. It can be said to be quite impressive." After glancing at the still shaking bushes, Meng Leng smiled lightly. She jumped onto a large tree and followed the shaking grass, constantly darting back and forth through the forest.

  "Meng Ling, have you found your target?" At this time, Tian Cang's voice came from the wireless radio.

  "Ah, I've found it. I believe I'll be able to complete the task soon." Meng Ling replied faintly into the wireless radio.

  "Alright, got it. Tell us the location and Fengquan's Light and Fengquan's Dance will rush over immediately." Tian Cang said through the wireless radio.

  "Uh-huh, got it." Meng Ling responded with a murmur, after stating the direction. An idea immediately popped up in her mind.

  "Change of plans, now we need to capture the target before our teammates arrive." Meng Ling looked at Ah Hu who was still moving quickly and jumped onto another big tree.

  "Out came......" Seeing Ah Hu come out of the bushes again, Meng Ling smiled slightly and rushed towards Ah Hu who was still running.

  "Meow..." Ah Hu was as fast as he was introduced in the Fire Shadow, quickly dodging Meng Ling's capture. The distance between him and Meng Ling's left hand was only one centimeter.

  "Oh? Dodged it, then next time...!" Meng Ling borrowed the ground half a meter away from herself with her left hand and flipped her body in mid-air. Then, she kicked the trunk of the large tree in front of her with both feet. Using the method of borrowing force to strike, her speed increased by nearly double this time.

  "This time, be a good pet and behave." As she arrived above Ah Hu, Meng Ling's left hand flashed out like lightning, grasping the back of his neck and lifting him up.

  "Hmm, challenge successful. It seems that Chinese martial arts are indeed very useful. I just casually used the 'borrowing force to strike' technique from Tai Chi Fist and achieved such an effect." Meng Ling had practiced morning exercises every day in her previous world, aside from basic track and field events, she also practiced some elegant Tai Chi Fist with the elderly men and women in the garden to cultivate her mind and body. She didn't expect it to come in handy this time.

  "Target confirmed, right ear with a red bow tie, it's the target 'Ah Hu' no mistake, mission accomplished." Meng Ling said into the wireless radio.

  "Is the task complete? So soon?" The wireless radio transmitted the extremely surprised voices of Fengquan Guang and Fengquan Wu.

  "Uh-huh, yeah, but this little cat's speed is really quick, looks like it's already gotten used to running away." Meng Ling said faintly into the wireless radio.

  About ten minutes later, Meng Ling brought Ah Hu, who had already been captured, to the third training ground. At this time, Tian Cang had also arrived with Feng Quan Zhi Wu and Feng Quan Zhi Guang, waiting for Meng Ling.

  "Hey, Captain Tian Cang, take a look at this!" Meng Ling brought the Ah Huo she was carrying to the front of Tian Cang.

  "Ah, indeed it is. Then let's go submit the task now." Tian Cang said, and then brought the 'results' of this task to the place where tasks are submitted.

  "Uh-huh, got it." Meng Ling responded with a murmur, and together with the astonished Feng Quan siblings, followed Tian Cang team leader to the task handover location.

  "It's really amazing, to be able to shuttle back and forth in such a dense forest, and yet complete the C-level mission in such a short amount of time. And your clothes are still spotless, just like when you started. You truly live up to being Kakashi-senpai's disciple." Tensai looked back at Mu Lin following behind him, and he couldn't help but feel secretly shocked as well.

  About ten or so minutes later, Meng Ling arrived at the mission assignment building in Konohagakure under Tian Cang's lead.

  "Oh, today's task is already completed? You all are quite diligent, continue to work hard." The Third Hokage looked at Muhyo and the Fuuka siblings standing beside him with a smile.

  "Yes, Lord Hokage." replied Tenzo.

  "Ah, my lovely little tiger, I was worried to death." At this time, in front of the Third Hokage, a rather 'voluptuous' noblewoman was speaking to Ah Hu, who had just been caught by Meng Long, while continuously rubbing her face full of fat against his.

  "Ah, it seems I've finally met the legendary Lady Daimyo after all. Now I finally understand why Naruto and the others made those comments back then." thought Mei Ling to herself.

  "Alright, today's mission is over. Dismissed." Tian Cang said to Meng Ling and the others as they walked out of the building where they had received their mission.

  "So I'll leave first then." After hearing Tian Cang's words, Meng Ling immediately retreated.

  "Hey, that, Meng Ling, how about coming to my place for dinner today? My sister wants to have a chat with you." At this time, Feng Quan's light came to Meng Ling's face and asked hesitantly.

  "Oh, I see. Well, I'll leave you alone then." Meng Ling smiled faintly at Feng Quan Zhi Guang, who was left dazed for a moment.

  "It seems that this kid is a bit off, although my current body is a girl's, but I'm not the kind of girl you have in mind." Meng Ling thought to herself, but didn't say it out loud.

  "That's great, Meng Ling, if you come, we will definitely welcome you." Fengquan Dance hugged Meng Ling from behind and said with a smile.

  "Hmm..." Feeling the two streams of heat coming from her back, Meng Ling's heart skipped a beat. Although she had transformed into a girl, she still felt a bit dizzy with her male instincts.

  And so, the three of them headed towards the Kazehaya residence together.
