Chapter 94:

As soon as Akira arrived at the Uchiha's compound, a uchiha genin came to lead the way. He respectfully bowed his head to Akira and said: "Akira, our clan head sama would like to talk to you, please follow me.

"Okay." Akira nodded, waved to Kushina and Mikoto as he motioned to let the two girls play by themselves. Kushina and Mikoto stick out their tongues at the same time, lively and playful.

Akira followed the genin to the location. The genin then knocked on the door and said in a respectful voice, "Clan head sama, Akira is here."

"Please come in." Akira heard Uchiha Fukai's slightly deep voice.

The genin then signaled to let Akira in. Akira nodded, entered and look at the interior of the house.

It is antique and almost all furniture are wooden. In the center is the Uchiha clan emblem and Fukai sits on his knees in front of a table with two cups of steaming tea on it.

"The pride of our Uchiha clan is back! Akira, sit down." Fukai smiled heartily and made an inviting gesture.

Fukai is obviously very satisfied with Akira's achievements during this period and directly call Akira as the "Pride of Uchiha's clan". This is enough to prove that he values Akira very much.

"Thank you clan head sama." Akira smiled and sat down, Fukai has always been nice to him.

The two exchanged greetings and Fukai asked about Akira's recent developments before entering the main topic.

"Akira, your performance during this period is very good. I have received many good news about you. The Third Hokage also praised you and the people in the village regarded you as a hero. You are indeed the pride of our Uchiha clan and it is well deserved." Fukai chuckled.

Akira was very humble: "Thank you."

"Is it the third Hokage who summon you to come back this time?"

"Yes." Akira nodded, Akira also knew that third hokage summoning him must be something important this time.

Fukai look like he was pondering, as if thinking about something. Suddenly Fukai smiled and said, "By the way, do you remember the things we discussed last time?"

"Huh?" Akira was confused.

"The matter about your engagement with Mikoto."

Akira was taken aback and then he remembered that he had a verbal promised to engage with Mikoto. Only two of them knew about this, even Mikoto didn't even know it yet.

"Clan head sama, I'm still young, you don't have to be worried and rushed right?" Akira shrugged. Although he also likes Mikoto very much, the problem is that he is only eleven now, so he is not worried at all.

On the other hand, Fukai wanted to settle this matter sooner. Akira vaguely understands Fukai's thoughts. Uchiha Fukai is also trying to rope him in an way and wants to make him feel more belong to the Uchiha's clan. Of course Uchiha Fukai takes a genius like Akira very seriously.

Uchiha Fukai smiled: "It is fine. Fugaku is already preparing for marriage and she is also a woman in the clan." Uchiha Fugaku is about to get married?

Akira silently mourned for Uchiha Fugaku, the poor lad. It was really sad to be forced into a arranged marriage. Fugaku is older than Akira and Mikoto both by four and five years older. Moreover he is also the son of the clan head, thus it is normal for him to get married earlier.

"Don't worry, I don't mean to let you and Mikoto marry now. After all, it's wartime and you are still in Anbu and you need to go to be prepared to go to battlefield at any momeng. How about this, I will disclose this to Mikoto herself first, at the same time let several other elders in the clan testify together and both of you will get married when the war is over." Fukai explained.

It turns out that this is the case and he don't marrying Mikoto once the war is over.

Akira nodded and said: "No problem."

Fukai seemed to suddenly remembered something and smiled with mischief: "Good. However, I had heard that there is a little girl from the Uzumaki clan also likes you very much. It really. If Akira, you have the ability, I don't mind helping you!"

Akira coughed, he didn't expect Fukai to bring up the matter.

But Kushina's matter should indeed be resolved.

"Since you agree, I will talk to Mikoto." Fukai took a sip of tea and smiled.

Akira felt more and more weird. How did the dignified Uchiha clan head become a matchmaker?

Seeing Akira nodded, Fukai immediately take action.

Akira first went outside and waited. After that, Fukai summoned Mikoto and Mikoto entered the room with doubts. Mikoto wondered why the clan leader suddenly summoned her...

Fukai then explained about his intentions. After learning about her a engagement with Akira, Mikoto cheeks and face turned flushed, feeling shy and joyful, meanwhile as Fukai continue the explanation, Mikoto can only be in a dazed and couldn't listen register the words he had said as she just nodded listlessly.

Mikoto was still a little shy and dazed until she came out of the room.

"Mikoto?" Akira wave his hand, but when Mikoto suddenly see Akira, her face turned red when she recalled what Fukai had revealed just now.

"Brother Akira, I, I..." Mikoto was at a loss and became fl.u.s.tered, her heart beating madly, thinking to herself that Brother Akira seemed to know the things between them. What should she say?

"Silly girl, the clan head had explained to you right?" Akira said.

"En." Mikoto's voice was like as soft as a mosquito and her cheeks was flushed red.

Akita felt that Mikoto current shy appearance is very cute and couldn't help but squeezed Mikoto's face while smiing, "Looking at your expression, yoj don't seem to be willing?"

"No, no, who say so?" Mikoto immediately raised her head and quickly retorted, only to see Akira cheeky smile. The expression on her face turned even redder: "You, you, big bad guy!"

Akira laughed, hold Mikoto's hand and asked her about what Fukai had told her, which is about the same as what Akira knew. At this time, Kushina had already gone back, only Akira and Mikoto were left.

If Mikoto agreed. The following things will be much easier. Under the witness of the clan leader, Uchiha Fukai and the three respectable elders of the Uchiha clan, Akira and Mikoto performed a simple ceremony. It is simple but solemn. Thus the relationship between the two was officially settled and engagement contract was made.

Akira hold onto Mikoto's little hand, then looked at Mikoto's cute and lovely appearance and he suddenly felt a different kind of feeling in his heart.
