Like Nata, Naruto is another michi who is no longer with us in this life. He went straight to michis's heaven a few years ago. However, her human was very happy to know that her beloved Naruto will forever live in Saving The Michi AR! And also in her heart, of course.
As many of the cats previously posted in these blogs, Naruto also has a mackerel tabby pattern: with an "M" in the forehead and stripes in his body. Just like Alex, Gatell and other catis that you will find in Saving the Michi AR mobile game.
Naruto was adopted when he was born and he lived a life filled with love, games and healthy sleep. As a tabby cat, he was very active, caring and he liked to be with kids since Naruto was a baby.
Naruto lived in a small town where the green areas are abundant, this meant that he had plenty of space to go out, play and develop his feline instincts! Unfurtonately for some birds, that meant to also develop his hunting skills, so once in a while, Naruto came back home with the bodies of his preys: small birds, rodents and other small animals.
That's why his human decided to keep an eye on him whenever she could when Naruto went to play outside the house. His human also played a lot with Naruto indoors: to keep his mobility up and preventing Naruto to become a serial killer for the local fauna.
Naruto liked to be with humans and other animals too, he grew up with other dogs and cats inside the house, and in the neighborhood, he had several friends too!
Naruto's biography
Adopted the moment his tiny eyes opened to the world, (well, a few weeks after he was born, to get milk from his mom), Naruto’s life was woven from threads of love, play, and the deep, rumbling purrs of contented sleep. His tabby heritage gifted him boundless energy and an inquisitive mind.
He was his human’s shadow from kittenhood, a soft, purring presence during late-night studies, a gentle guardian when she was sick, (or not, depending on Naruto's mood, according to his human). But his heart held a special softness for children. The moment a small human entered the house, Naruto transformed.
His usual dignified prowl became a playful wiggle, his tail a friendly question mark. He’d patiently endure clumsy pats, gently bat at offered toys, and curl up beside them during story time, a warm, striped protector. He’d been a baby with his human and his human's siblings, growing with love alongside them with infinite patience and love.
Their small town, nestled amidst rolling hills and dotted with sprawling gardens, was Naruto’s paradise. Green spaces weren't just abundant; they were his birthright. He’d slip out through the cat flap at dawn, a striped blur disappearing into the dew-kissed grass. This was where his feline soul truly soared. He’d stalk imaginary dragons through the flowerbeds, practice gravity-defying leaps onto low stone walls, and bask in sunbeams filtering through ancient oak trees. He developed the proud bearing of a miniature tiger surveying his verdant realm.
Yet, with the instincts of his wild ancestors pulsing beneath his domestic exterior, Naruto’s reign came with a grim toll. Occasionally, the mighty hunter would return, not with imagined trophies, but with very real, very small ones. A feather here, a tiny, unfortunate rodent there. This didn't like to his human, but it's difficult to fight against your own feral instincts.
As he grew older, Naruto's energy didn't fade away, he was joyful and curious. It was until his senior years when he became slower and his reflexes were not as quick as before. Father time passes for everyone, I guess. It was here where Naruto spent long hours of nap and becoming friends with his human's daughter.
Now, his human opens her phone. She taps the Saving the Michi AR icon. A familiar digital landscape blooms on her screen. And there he is. Naruto. Not just one image, but 11 scattered throughout the AR world. Sometimes he’s a tiny, pixelated version of his majestic tabby self, caught mid-pounce in a virtual garden. In another, he’s curled up, a digital ghost napping on a sunbeam that streams through her actual living room window. And yes, in one particularly perfect capture, he’s claimed his throne: a shimmering, cardboard box. She laughs, a sound tinged with tears but mostly with pure, affectionate joy. She points her phone, and the photos of Naruto shine as one of the stars of the game.
He lived 16 good years. There are 11 pictures of Naruto in Saving the Michi AR. Go and find them all!
