Chapter 38

"Mikoto… Mikoto…"

After returning to the Uchiha clan, the elder hurried back to his home.

Pushing the door open, he couldn't wait to yell in his old voice.

"Grandpa… Why did you come back so late? The food is cold…"

A gentle voice with a hint of blame sounded.

The entrance door was opened, and Uchiha Mikoto, who was graceful, walked out.

"Mikoto…come here…"

The elder took Mikoto's wrist, and after the two entered the room and sat down, he smiled and said, "Grandpa has found you someone…"

"Grandpa, why are you saying this again!"

Before the Grand Elder finished speaking, he was interrupted by Mikoto with a helpless look.

Obviously, this is not the first time he has done such a thing.

But for those young talents from the so-called clan introduced by her Grandpa, she really didn't take a fancy to any one of them.

Because from their bones, they are exuding arrogance all the time, that's not the type she likes…

"Hey… don't worry…"

Seeing that Mikoto was a little unpleasant, the elder hurriedly said: "This time I'm going to introduce to you, it's not a child of the clan…"

"Eh?"

Mikoto's pretty face was dumbfounded.

The suitors that the elder has always introduced to her are undoubtedly Uchiha youths.

So she should have thought that this time she would also be an Uchiha youth, but she didn't expect it to be an outsider?

This time, her curiosity was aroused!

She doesn't know which person from outside the clan got his grandfather's attention.

"He… it's the one that has been targeted by the youth of our clan recently… Shirakumo Hayama."

Seeing Mikoto's curiosity, the elder didn't stall any longer but directly said it.

"Grandpa…you mean...?"

Mikoto's pretty face was covered with disbelief.

After all, this name, at this time in the Uchiha clan, is nothing short of thunderous!

"Yes!"

The elder nodded cheerfully, confirming her mind.

'If I said… I'm not an exhibitionist… will you believe it?'

The figure of a shirtless man subconsciously flashed through Mikoto's mind.

Two red blush suddenly rose above her cheeks.

"But Grandpa…"

In order to conceal her embarrassment, Mikoto hurriedly lowered her head and said in a low voice, "That… That guy does not belong to the Uchiha clan…"

Mikoto didn't finish her words, the Grand Elder already knew what she was going to say.

So he smiled and waved his hand and said, "Hahaha…he did make Uchiha lose some reputation, but this matter will pass soon…"

Halfway through the conversation, the elder realized that Mikoto kept her head down.

So he weirdly asked: "Mikoto… why are you lowering your head?"

"No…nothing…"

Hearing Grandpa's question, Mikoto's head was buried deeper.

"Since you don't refuse, then you agree?"

The elder said cheerfully, the smile on his face was even brighter…

"…"

This night, Mikoto lost sleep!

She didn't know how she felt about Shirakumo Hayama.

Obviously, the other party made the Uchiha clan look bad, and also made her grandfather come to apologize repeatedly. But when she thought of that shirtless man, she didn't have a trace of hatred or anger.

In the end, she could only attribute the result to the fact that Uchiha Eikō and others came to his house to make trouble, and Shirakumo Hayama only retaliated…

In the same way, Hayama tossed over and over again this night, it was difficult to fall asleep.

Maybe it's because he had been single for too long, It may also be the reason why he really likes Mikoto, So he also has insomnia…

…

The next day

Hayama who did not sleep well was awakened by a knock on the door.

Opening the door with sleepy eyes, he saw Kakashi standing outside.

"Hayama-sensei?"

Seeing Hayama yawn, Kakashi was very confused.

During the last mission, he had never seen the teacher so sleepy when he was on the night shift watch rest.

Why is he yawning today?

"Oh… it's Kakashi…"

With a refreshing spirit, Hayama said: "Today you will practice according to yesterday's method. By the way, I have something to do today, so I might not have the time to train you..."

"Yes, Hayama-sensei"

Kakashi replied helplessly.

But since the teacher has something to do, he can only practice on his own.

After bidding farewell to Hayama, Kakashi turned and left. He decided to split more than 30 lines today…

Hayama returned to his house, looked up at the clock on the wall, and started washing up!

After all, it's the first time he goes to a woman's house for a banquet, so he must make a good impression…

(A/N: I don't know how to write these chapters. I always write them incorrectly. The general idea is that the elder came to apologize, and then discovered that Hayama was extraordinary, so I wanted to make Hayama and him friends and match his granddaughter to Hayama. Yes, um…that's roughly what it means…)

(E/N: Oke...)
