Chapter 40

Hokage building, inside Hokage office.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was reviewing documents, suddenly heard a knock on the door.

"Come in!"

Putting down what was in his hands, Hiruzen raised his head and shouted.

He saw an Anbu wearing a mask, opened the door, and walked in.

"Hokage-sama!"

After entering Hokage's office, the Anbu ninja knelt on one knee and reported: "The Anbu, who is monitoring the Uchiha clan, has received news that Shirakumo Hayama has just entered the Uchiha clan."

"What did you say!?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly raised his head immediately and shouted.

What is that guy going to Uchiha for?

Will there be any conflict with Uchiha again?

Thinking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen hurriedly asked: "Do you know what his purpose is?"

"I don't know the specific reason…"

Anbu ninja replied respectfully: "However, according to the news, it was Uchiha's elder who came out to greet him personally!"

Grand Elder Uchiha greeted him personally?

Hearing Anbu's report, Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned in confusion.

But since the great elder greeted him personally, it shouldn't be a contradiction.

Thinking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen breathed a sigh of relief and then waved Anbu back.

…

Uchiha Clan, in the home of Uchiha Grand Elder.

After eating, the elder left the house without giving a reason why.

(E/N: Elder of Culture ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°))

Deliberately leaving time for the two youngsters to get along alone.

After the initial awkward chat, Hayama and Mikoto also talked more and more smoothly.

Although the two of them did not graduate from Ninja School in the same class, they also attended Ninja School at the same time. It's just a difference between the upper and lower grades, so naturally there are also topics to talk about…

As the chat progressed, Hayama became more aware of Mikoto's character.

This is a gentle, kind, virtuous, but also a little shy girl.

Hayama copied a joke from a previous life from time to time and could make her laugh for a long while.

…

"It's too early, so I will go back today?"

Seeing the dusk had come, Hayama could only slowly stand up and bid Mikoto farewell.

Although he still wants to continue the conversation, he also understands the truth.

Only by grasping a certain degree can you get a higher impression score.

"It's fine…"

Mikoto stood up with a blushing face.

She was really happy today and spent almost an afternoon in laughter from time to time.

She also did not expect that Hayama, who looked cold on the outside, was so humorous on the inside.

Hayama was naturally very happy when he heard that Mikoto wanted to give himself away.

It seems that the amusement this afternoon has given me a lot of points.

After walking out of Mikoto's house, Mikoto sent Hayama all the way to the gate of the Uchiha clan.

The way home is the same as when he came here, there are also some people's pointers.

But Hayama didn't care, as long as he didn't deliberately come up to trouble himself.

"Right, Mikoto!"

Looking at Mikoto, who was shy and buried next to him, Hayama hesitated, and then asked: "I have made the Uchiha clan look bad, don't you hate me?"

If this sentence were asked at noon, it would reduce Hayama's impression points.

But at this time the two have gotten acquainted with each other and called each other by name.

Therefore, when Hayama asks it at this time, it will not appear abrupt and will not drop points.

"No… they were the ones who provoked you first after all…"

As if knowing Hayama's scruples, Mikoto's voice was very soft but answered very seriously.

Today she chatted with Hayama for an afternoon, and Mikoto felt that Hayama was not an arrogant person.

So she believes in her own inner thoughts even more. This incident is caused by Uchiha Eikō and others.

"Huh… that's good!"

Hayama breathed a sigh of relief after receiving Mikoto's answer.

After all, looking at the Uchiha clan who was pointing, he was quite worried that Mikoto would be under pressure, which would cause the two to finally not be able to get together or something.

But now it seems that he has been worrying too much…

"Then I'll go back first."

When the two walked to the gate of the Uchiha clan, Hayama said goodbye to Mikoto with a smile.

But just after walking a few steps, he suddenly turned around and asked, "By the way, can I still come to you tomorrow?"

"This… I-It's alright...."

Mikoto's heart was pounding and he answered with shame.

How she didn't understand the meaning of Hayama's words, but she responded bravely.

"Then it's a deal~"

Hayama waved his hand and turned to leave again, but the smile on his face became brighter.

Because of Mikoto's answer this time, he basically agreed with the relationship between the two.

'I finally ended my career as a single dog…'

Standing in front of the gate of the Uchiha clan, Mikoto watched Hayama's figure travel further and further and finally disappeared at the corner.

At this time, her pounding heart was completely relieved and recovered.

*sigh...*

She opened her lips and let out a sigh of relief.

Looking in the direction where Hayama disappeared again, Mikoto returned home.

…

"Mikoto… how… how do you feel about him?"

When Mikoto returned home, the elder did not know when she would come back.

The first time he saw Mikoto, the elder smiled and asked.

"Wha-What about it, I-I don't know what you are talking about grandpa…"

Mikoto's cheeks were covered with blush again.

She picked up the rose bouquet that Hayama had given before, turned around lightly, and ran back to her room as if she had fled.

"Ha ha ha ha..."

Seeing Mikoto's behavior, the elder smiled with satisfaction.
