Naruto: My Hunting System

Chapter 26: First Kiss

Nawaki began to reconsider Chunin's rank. 'How can he be so weak?'

Just depending on his physical strength, he defeated Uchiha with a slap and a punch.

In fact, in the first slap, Ichiro had already lost, there was no way he could continue.

But, Nawaki wasn't kind enough to let it end so easily.

Hikari says goodbye to them on the way, Mikoto was going to train with Nawaki, so she went along with him and Kushina.

.

.

In the Uchiha Clan, the clan leaders were gathered.

The atmosphere was tense.

"If it was just the Senju Clan, we could still stop it..."

Their expressions got uglier.

"Yes, but the Hokage got involved. With him as a matchmaker, it won't be easy to stop the Mikoto girl from marrying the boy Nawaki Senju."

"..." All.

The father of a promising Uchiha who was currently 16 years old and in the clan's line of succession, had a troubled look in his eyes. His intention was to get his son engaged and then marry Mikoto Uchiha.

The fact that she can be Izuna Uchiha's granddaughter makes her value soar. Another reason was... Coincidentally, his son Fugaku said he could have seen her use the Sharingan. That was about 4 years ago. He doesn't think his son saw it wrong, even though until now apparently no one knew that she awakened the Sharingan.

Sighing, he closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair. 'Is there anything I can do to call off this engagement?'

"Wow, the training ground just got bigger!" Kushina spun around in the middle of the training ground, she added, "By the way, there are many more targets and there seem to be other training means..."

Nawaki remembered something his Sis told him yesterday. He said: "It must have been Granny Mito who made this change happen. You must have felt it too, Kushina, yes?"

"Oh yeah." Kushina touched her lips with her slender finger: "I can't say what she did, but I feel the sealing technique presence in the training ground."

"I think now even my Sis can train here," Nawaki said with a smile.

Kushina opened her eyes wide, then she smiled happily. Tsunade was very kind to her since she arrived, and she was very fond of her: "This is amazing dattebane~!"

Mikoto said with a thoughtful look: "To be able to withstand Tsunade-sama training here, it must be very tough. But if Mito-sama did it, it makes sense."

In the Village, it was unlikely that there was anyone who doubted Mito's power regarding sealing techniques.

After a while, they were done stretching.

Kushina looked at the two, she had an expression of wanting to say something, but she seemed to hesitate.

"What is it, Kushina?" Nawaki asked.

"Well, I have a question." She took a deep breath, "You two are engaged now, yes? Well then, why are you all still acting like before dattebane?"

"Haha." Nawaki laughed, seeing her so serious, he thought it was for another reason, but he didn't expect it to be because of that.

Mikoto laughed a little too.

Kushina felt shy to see the two of them laugh. She pouted and muttered into her mind, 'What I said was funny dattebane!?'

Mikoto stopped laughing and replied, "I understand your question, Kushina. But although I understand the relationship between a man and a woman, we are still young. Nawaki wants to become strong, and I want to support him, but I also want to become strong so I can be by his side helping him. In a sense, it may seem like our relationship has stayed the same, but at least my mindset has changed."

"Yes, and it's not like there's no change." Nawaki said with a small smile, "It's just very small and simple things that hardly seem to change."

"Oh, I see." Kushina smiled. Soon she said, "Okay, let's start training?"

"Yea." Nawaki nodded with his characteristic smile.

Holding hands, with the other hand, each held a dango skewer.

Mikoto had a happy smile as she chewed.

Despite the initial surprise the moment Nawaki held her hand, Mikoto didn't dislike it, in fact, her heart was beating faster than usual, and even her thoughts were more confused, but when Nawaki offered to buy dango and now eat, she somehow calmed down.

Nawaki smiled as he noticed that Mikoto's hand wasn't sweating as much as before.

'Although I don't want to rush our relationship. It will be good for her to get used to having physical contact with me.' Nawaki looked at her face in satisfaction as she ate and smiled.

When they finished eating, Mikoto came. However, she just got a little nervous.

"Nawaki, you must be surprised by everything that happened, right?" she said suddenly.

Remembering the reaction he had in the Hokage's office, Nawaki smiled awkwardly, he said, "Yes, I was taken by surprise."

"Mm. I went too." She laughed with a rosy face: "When I told my parents, I just wanted to make them understand that I liked someone, not to accept any marriage arranged by the clan. However... They said that if I wanted to prevent something like this from happening, it was only possible with the help of the Senju Clan and the Hokage. That's why they took me to the Hokage."

Nawaki I contemplate.

In fact, the Senju Clan alone may not be enough to silence the Uchiha Clan, especially with the Senju Clan in decline.

However, Nawaki didn't think they would be able to stop him. Although he hadn't asked his Sis to test his current strength, he was sure he was stronger than most Jonin. He was improving very fast, even at this point he was improving in using the orbs while walking and talking to Mikoto.

The fact that the Hokage was so proactive in being the matchmaker surprised him a bit, but Nawaki never thought it would be so simple, there must be a reason why he acts like that. Whether because Grandma Mito was present, or for another reason.

He kissed her cheek and said, "Anyway, it may have surprised me, yet I was glad you were willing to be my bride."

Her face even redder as she was kissed on the cheek, she said, "You bet!"

"Haha!" Nawaki laughed at her reaction.

Cheek puffed out, she punched him lightly on the shoulder.

In a short time, they arrived at their destination.

This time Nawaki entered the Uchiha Complex and went to Mikoto's house.

In front of her house, Mikoto said goodbye: "Until morning Nawaki."

"Yes See you tomorrow." Nawaki smiled.

She was about to enter when opening the gate, but soon she came back. Standing in front of Nawaki, she stands on her toes.

Nawaki felt something soft and wet touch his lips, but it was gone as quickly as it came.

Face red up to her ear, she fled. However, she stopped again in front of the door, waving at him, she said: "Bye, be careful on the way back...!"

Nawaki touched his lips and smiled.
