Naruto: My Hunting System

Chapter 8: Mikoto's Proposal.

Just as promised, Nawaki met up with Mikoto as soon as class ended. Mikoto chose a more secluded spot, so it was just the two of them.

"You came," Mikoto said with a slight smile.

Just as Nawaki nodded and was about to speak, his eyes narrowed.

That cute little girl jumped from the ground and the solid ground instantly cracked.

Her small figure moved in a blur and appeared beside Nawaki. Her small fist opened the air and brought out a wave of chakra hitting Nawaki.

Nawaki instantly reacted and his body exploded in white light. He dodged the fist as he kicked his right leg toward the small body.

For an instant, Nawaki could have sworn he saw her eyes turn red, but it was only for an instant.

Mikoto was able to dodge and take a few steps back.

"You are good!" Mikoto placed her hand on her waist as she gave Nawaki a thumbs up. There was a happy smile on her face.

Realizing that she no longer intended to attack, Nawaki who heard what she said asked, "Why did you do that?"

"Hehe~" She laughed and stuck out her tongue in a cute way he'd never seen her act before. With her hands behind her things, she was a little hunched forward as she took small steps, even taking a quick turn once. She said happily, "I'm out of a training partner, when I saw you yesterday, I thought you might be a good one." the idea to invite you, and seeing you beat up Isao Uchiha, made me think more and more that it was a good idea."

"Is that why you tested me?" Nawaki asked rhetorically.

"Yes, since Isao Uchiha was a useless one who couldn't withstand a simple flick on the forehead." She wrinkled her nose, but then a gentle smile curved her thin lips: "Now that I've seen more or less what you're capable of, I think it's a good idea for both of us. What do you think about it?"

Nawaki thought for a moment before flashing a friendly smile, "I agree. Since I'm also without a training partner."

"Combined!" She reached out her small, delicate hand for a handshake.

Nawaki didn't think long before he also reached out to shake Mikoto's hand and then released her. Then he smiled. "It will be a pleasure to train with you."

"The pleasure is all mine." Mikoto removed her hand and smiled humbly at Nawaki.

Then she asked, "By the way, I know it might be sudden, but can we start training today?"

"Sure, why not?" Nawaki agreed, but then asked, "However, where exactly are we going to do that?"

"Mm..." She looked thoughtful, involuntary or not, Mikoto placed her index finger on her lip as she thought. "Oh yes." She seemed to have an idea: "How about in your clan?"

'I don't think Sis will complain if I take a girl to train there, yes?' Nawaki mused.

Seeing that Nawaki didn't respond, just kept silent, she added, "Otherwise, we can train at the training ground. The downside is that it is almost always busy."

Nawaki interrupted his thoughts, and said, "No, I didn't say no to training at my clan's compound, I just got lost in thought."

"That's great~" Mikoto smiled gently at him as she put her hands together, pressing her fingers together.

"Nawaki-sama, welcome!"

When he arrived, the employees at the compound noticed him and greeted him as usual.
