Hearing what Mirai said, Nawaki was stunned. What did he mean? What? He had comforted him, yet he was cursing himself to be assassinated? What? Could they still be happy friends?
"After all, you're Hashirama's grandson!" Mirai sighed, unable to tell whether Nawaki being born into that family was a blessing or a curse.
"Ah, hahaha..." Senju Nawaki scratched his head, suddenly feeling that Mirai's words made a lot of sense. After all, he was the hope of the Senju Clan, Konoha's future Hokage. Anyone who tried to assassinate Mirai was an idiot! I should have attacked that little brat myself.
Watching him, Mirai had no desire to keep talking nonsense with him. Who knew whether stupidity was contagious?
When the students saw Mirai come to school today, they were all shocked. Many of them came from prominent clans and had heard about what happened yesterday. They had thought Mirai would hide at home for a while, never expecting him to show up. Shikaku, however, gave it no thought.
"Mirai, are you all right?" Of everyone in the class, Minato Namikaze had the best relationship with Mirai. He had only learned about Mirai's assassination attempt that morning and had planned to visit during lunch break. Seeing Mirai return, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm fine. It's the others who aren't!" Mirai nodded at his kind gaze.
Uchiha Mikoto quietly watched Mirai, neither approaching nor keeping her distance. She was still thinking about what Uncle Kyo had said yesterday.
