Naruto: My Hunting System

Chapter 22: Roasting Rabbit Meat

"Thinking about?"

Returning to the Senju compound, Mito looks at Nawaki with a gentle smile upon seeing her grandson's thoughtful gaze.

"Mm, I didn't expect that because what I talked to Mikoto before would make me get engaged to her," Nawaki said while still processing everything that happened in the Hokage's office.

"Are you seriously surprised that this happened?" Mito spoke softly and patiently: "I think it was predictable if little Mikoto spoke to her parents. Their love for Mikoto is sincere. There is no doubt about it. And, you yourself know that little Mikoto is talented, if they didn't hurry, it was possible they would be forced to accept letting Mikoto marry someone promising from the Uchiha Clan."

"Yes, I can understand that." Nawaki said when looking at her: "However, what I'm surprised about is not that. What surprised me was that Mikoto had told them everything as soon as she returned."

"That's you underestimating the trust she had in her parents." Mito laughed: "But aren't you happy? Thanks to that, you have gained a beautiful and lovely bride."

"True, I was lucky." Nawaki agrees with Granny Mito's words. He had no doubt about her talent and how adorable Mikoto was. When she grows up, Mikoto is sure to be a charming woman.

"Look who's being honest and acting mature~" Mito rubbed his head with her left hand.

Nawaki didn't care and looked up to meet her eyes, "If I want to restore the clan, I'm going to need talented and hardworking people like her by my side."

"Restoring the clan..." Mito sighed when she heard her grandson say that.

It wasn't as if all the Senju had been killed in the war. A good part integrated into other clans and took the name of the other clans instead of the Senju name.

But even if that is so, the moment they abandoned the Senju name, they were no longer part of the clan. That's how things worked. They practically fled when they saw the decline of the Senju Clan.

"It will not be easy." She got very serious when she said that looking at him.

"I know, but it doesn't matter." Nawaki said casually, "This is what I desire, and I will fight to make it happen. Whether I'm going to fail or not, whether it's going to be hard or not... These things aren't going to change my mind."

The Senju Clan has many enemies. Because of the Senju's talent and fame, for fame, or for research interests, some wanted to steal the clan's secrets, etc.

There were many reasons why the Senju Clan was targeted by the other villages. Nawaki is even suspicious of the village itself.

With all this, it was even understood that those who had a strong desire to survive would prefer to cut ties with the clan and marry another clan, or ninjas, not from a reputed clan.

Even without understanding all this, Nawaki only chose to walk this path because he had the hunting dimension. He was no fool, with what he had at his disposal, sooner or later he could be the strongest in the village or even the ninja world.

However, that won't happen overnight, and for now, he needed the protection of his Granny and Sis.

As for the protection received from the village... He didn't expect much.

Mito looked deeply at her grandson.

Her grandson had grown up. He made his own decision, and she decided to respect that.

Nawaki told Tsunade that she kind of already knew about him being engaged to Mikoto and told Kushina that she was surprised, but didn't show anything but surprise.
