Mischief Fragment: Wishcraft, part III [Episode 235891]

by Kestral

Naruto scowled at the talking cat. "Okay, let's see you do this. I don't like being dead last. I wish I was better at that stuff than that Sasuke!"

"In what way?" asked Toltiir, cocking his head at the boy.

"Better with kunai, better with taijutsu, better with ninjutsu," said Naruto, some bitterness slipping into his voice. "Stronger, faster, smarter! You know, better!"

"Oh," said the cat. "So you wish you were a PROPER epic ninja hero?"

"Yeah!" agreed Naruto, still very skeptical but going full steam ahead. "I'm gonna be Hokage someday, and I wanna be a cool one!"

"Okay, that gives me something to work with," admitted the cat, who was suddenly surrounded by runes that were in all sorts of colors and hues. Slowly he levitated up, eyes gleaming like green lasers, and the cat grinned. "Hmmm. Some appropriate music."

"Eh?" asked Naruto backing up to a wall as he tried to remember what he'd just wished for. The display sufficiently unnerving that he couldn't remember the exact words he'd used a second ago.

In a time of fear and confusion,

Naruto blinked. "What, that's it? Why don't I feel different?"

"Because you have to train to reach the heights you wish to attain, grasshopper," said the black cat, now wearing a gi and sitting in the lotus position while sipping a cup of tea.

"Well, that's a rip," said Naruto, making a dismissive gesture, then frowning as muscles rippled against his suddenly-tight shirt. "Eh?"

The gi-wearing cat sipped at his tea and looked solemn.

"What?" asked Naruto as he pinched his biceps and got wide-eyed.

"Truly it is said," said the cat, "that to appreciate fully what one can accomplish - one must strive for it themselves. It is through suffering that growth occurs. Hmmm. Well, unless I'm involved. But I'll let you suffer some anyway."

"You're for real?" asked Naruto, twitching.

"You have two more wishes, little weedhopper," said the cat. "Think carefully."
