Chapter 30 - Mikoto (1/2)
Thunk, thunk, thunk
On a training ground at the edge of the Uchiha territory, muffled sounds were emitted from thrown kunai that embedded themselves in the post.
Mikoto concentrated on regulating her breath, a bit tired after today's training.
Looking at the kunai that were a bit off the mark, she frowned.
”Not yet. If it was him, he would have reached the target perfectly each time” Muttered Mikoto in frustration.
Rustle
Hearing rustling sounds behind her, she instantly became alert and raised the kunai that she was going to throw in a defensive position ”Who is it?”
A blond kid came out from behind the trees, and raised his hands in a non-threatening gesture ”It's me Mikoto”
”What do you want, Minato? It's the Uchiha clan territory, you're not allowed to come here” Remarked Mikoto
”Am I not allowed to come and see my new friend?”
”Who is your friend? We just ate a meal together and if I came it was because of Kushina”
”Is what she said...”
”So, what are you here for?” Repeated Mikoto, trying hard to keep her frustration in check. Even she didn't know why she was this frustrated. She is of natural calm but seeing the difference between her and Minato made her a bit annoyed. No matter how much she trains, she doesn't seem to catch up to him.
Minato didn't answer her with words but approached her. Not knowing what he wanted to do, Mikoto wanted to back away but doing so will be unbefitting of the Uchiha patriarch's daughter, so she put a strong front and watched him with fake indifference.
Not minding her look, Minato took her hand and inspected it ”As expected”
Flustered, Mikoto jerked her hand away and demanded ”What are you doing?” while taking out the kunai that she put back in her pouch earlier.
”Easy there, I was just looking at your hands” Seeing that it seems to incensed her even more, he continued ”I previously saw that your hands were bandaged so I came here to check to see what you were doing to harm them. And it seems you train so hard that you finished by hurting yourself”
”What does it matter to you that I hurt my hands?”
”Because it's my fault.”
Mikoto tilted her head, not understanding. It's her that trained too much...Oh.
