Naruto: My Hunting System

Chapter 12: Grandmother Mito Has Returned

It's been half an hour since Nawaki sparred with Mikoto.

Mikoto lay on the floor panting. Her body was drenched in sweat. Her shorts and T-shirt clung tightly to her body.

Although her tiredness wasn't entirely because she had a sparring match against Nawaki, it was what tired her the most.

"Oh, you are very strong." Mikoto thought she had gotten stronger in the last few days she had been training with Nawaki, but Nawaki had gotten even stronger. It wasn't just her who was getting better, after all.

Nawaki just smiled. His smile was a little more mature, but it was still cute as his dimples deepened into his slightly flushed cheeks.

In his room, in front of the big mirror, Nawaki can hardly believe that he has changed so much in so few days.

Despite not having gained much muscle, his body was better defined, as well as gaining a little weight, as he was 151 cm tall.

He was now the second tallest in the class, only one boy was 3 cm taller than him.

His changes were visible, but no one believed them.

Suddenly, a cold wind came from his window. He opened the window beforehand to air his room.

It was March 3, late winter. There were only 6 months left until Nawaki's birthday. And a few months later, it would be the ninja academy graduation.

'Sis says I already have the strength of an elite Chunin.' Nawaki contemplated.

In the ninja academy, not even sensei was stronger than him. Because of their strength shown by him, Nawaki no longer had opponents. Even the proud Uchiha stopped challenging him.

But, Nawaki was not satisfied. He thought the feeling of foreboding would fade as he got stronger, but even though it was getting weaker, it didn't completely go away. That was the same feeling he'd had in his last life a month before his wife died.

He's also had this kind of feeling many times before, whether it's good or bad, oddly enough, something always happened when he got that feeling.

She thought, 'For the next few months I need to work harder to have the strength of a Junin.'

The chances of him being in danger while in the village are low. He had his Sis to protect him while he stayed in the village.

Tsunade's strength has already reached a frightening level this past week.

She didn't say, but Nawaki has no doubt that if she fought the Third Hokage, she had a good chance of coming out the victor.

Tsunade's outstanding ability is her incredible strength with which she is able to perform feats such as launching her targets many meters with a simple finger movement or creating fissures with a single finger movement on the ground.

An opponent hit by her attacks could suffer damage ranging from broken bones, damaged organs, or even death.

The 'rebirth' of her body made her become a lethal weapon. Her already monstrous strength, was amplified in such a way that if a direct hit was landed, not even a Kage-level person would be unharmed.

So far his life is going smoothly, but when he graduates from the academy and becomes a Genin, he will have to do missions outside the village, and being in times of war, at any moment he can lose his life.

His thoughts were interrupted by two knocks on the door, then his door opened.

"Sis?" Nawaki already knew who it was without even turning around. He asked, "Do you need me?"

"Yes, Granny Mito is back," Tsunade said as she got a good look at Nawaki.

He was wearing a dark blue T-shirt and a gray vest over it. His pants were also dark blue. And as usual, his hair was unruly, despite being a little longer.

"I understand. I am going." Nawaki walks over to her.

Tsunade wore a tight-fitting fishnet blouse and a light gray V-neck T-shirt. She also wore fishnet shorts with a blue skirt over the top.

To say she looked attractive in that outfit wasn't enough.

"How was the training?" Tsunade asked.

As they started walking, Nawaki replied, "Mm, Mikoto is improving faster than I expected. Also thanks to her, I am able to learn to control my strength."

"Umu, this girl is quite special," Tsunade said with more than one sense.

Nawaki noticed this but didn't comment. They had already arrived in the main room.

The moment he arrived, he noticed that there were two red-haired people, an elderly woman almost his age.

The elderly woman had two buns in her bright red hair and pale eyes. She wore a simple, loose-fitting kimono held closed by a simple dark-colored obi. She also wore a dark shade of lipstick and had a diamond mark on her forehead.

"Grandma, how nice to see you." Nawaki gave her his classic smile.

Mito, who saw his grandson smiling at her, returned the smile on his slightly wrinkled face. She had an air of gentleness and love around her.

"Come here, let grandma give you a hug." She said gently as she waved her hand.

Nawaki approaches. She was slightly taller than Tsunade, nearly 170 cm. When he hugged her, his side head landed on her breasts.

Mito had a mild lavender scent. Nawaki liked that smell. After pulling away, Mito kissed his forehead.

"You grew up a lot while I was gone." She said with the same gentle smile.

"Is not it?" Nawaki asked rhetorically as he smiled showing his white teeth.

After exchanging a few more words, she signaled to the young woman beside her.

The red-haired girl immediately stands out taking a step forward.

The young woman's eyes lit up as soon as she saw Nawaki's smile. She almost jumped in front of him with a vibrant smile and extended her thin white hand: "Hello Nawaki, I'm Kushina Uzumaki, let's be friends?"

Nawaki took a good look at the girl.

She had a round face, which, with her red hair naturally framing both sides of her face, gave her the resemblance of a tomato. Her attire was a sleeveless kimono-style blouse that was yellow in color and held closed with a green obi over a short-sleeved mesh shirt with a pair of dark blue shorts and brown shinobi sandals.

Hearing her question and seeing her hand extended towards him, Nawaki squeezed her hand and smiled, "Yes, let's be friends."

"Wah, amazing!" She looked very happy and vibrant as she shook her hand that was holding Nawaki's, "I got my first friend dattebane!"

Coming to a strange place, full of uncertainty, she felt happy for the first time since she arrived.

Nawaki noticed how nervous she was to feel her hand shaking and even a little sweaty.

Mito next door laughed, "Haha, good for you, Kushina. I said my grandson was kind and could be your friend."

"Oh yes." Only when Mito said that Kushina realized what she was doing, she also felt a little embarrassed because she blurted out 'dattebane'. It was inevitable, whenever her emotions were on edge, she ended up saying that word.

She gave a shy smile as she looked at Mito as let go of Nawaki's hand, "Mito-sama was right."

Kushina was quite respectful when she spoke to Mito. Despite her initial shyness, she had a lot of respect for Mito.
