19 Chapter 19
"Who!"
Hayama, who was disturbed by the knock on the door, frowned and shouted.
Pulling a piece of clothing on him, he walked towards the gate.
*Knock, Knock*
"You open the door for me!"
Before he reached the door, the knock on the door rang again.
And the tone of the knocker was full of anger.
But this voice made Hayama feel a little familiar.
"Uchiha Eikō?"
After opening the door,
Hayama discovered that there were seven or eight Uchiha people standing outside the door.
And the person in the lead was the target of the assessment when he was promoted to Jōnin, Uchiha Eikō.
"What do you want?"
Hayama's anger surged up instantly.
Unexpectedly, after returning from a mission, someone would come to ask for trouble.
"You despicable, shameless, and arrogant villain!"
After seeing Hayama open the door, Uchiha Eikō immediately pointed to Hayama's face and yelled.
*Boom—*
A muffled sound!
Hayama raised his leg and kicked Uchiha Eikō's belly, kicking him out.
Whoever is yelled at by pointing his nose, he will not swallow.
Unless the strength of the two sides is really too great.
But rabbits will attack people when they are anxious!
What's more, Hayama is much stronger than the opponent.
Uchiha Eikō, who was kicked, hit two of his companions while flying backward, and the three fell together on the spot.
Originally, Uchiha and his party were angry and attracted a lot of people's curiosity and onlookers.
Seeing Hayama kicking the Uchiha, more and more people swarmed to watch.
No matter which world you are in, there is never a shortage of people who eat melons.
(E/N: "Eat melons" means hear or watch a potential rumor)
"What are you doing!?"
Seeing Hayama doing it, the remaining four Uchiha suddenly screamed in anger and surrounded him with a "swish".
"You Uchiha are really overbearing!"
Hayama gritted his teeth and said angrily: "People who don't know thought Konoha belonged to you Uchihas!!"
Danzo said a few days ago that some people in the Uchiha clan will come after him.
But Hayama did not expect that they would really come.
And they came so fast.
"Hayam, you evil scum!"
Seeing Hayama actually in front of so many people, the Uchihas gave a random excuse about him being in the wrong.
*Cough!*
Hearing this, Hayama almost coughed up blood.
Hayama then suddenly laughed angrily: "You all came to my house with rampant dominance, and you said that I was the one in the wrong!?"
"Stop the cap!"
(E/N: I wanted to say that ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) )
Uchiha Eikō, who has already gotten up at this moment, wiped the blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and said angrily: "It's obviously you who are slandering me everywhere, so I came to the door to ask for justice!!"
"I slander you? When did I slander you!?"
Hayama laughed at the words of Uchiha Eikō.
Obviously, after being defeated by him, he was unwilling to surrender.
Unexpectedly, at this time, he would still quibble and blame him.
Seeing Hayama laughing, Uchiha Eikō's expression turned sour.
Looking around, more and more crowds of onlookers appeared. He took a deep breath and said angrily:
"Last week when you were promoted to the Jōnin rank, I was inferior and defeated by you. I have nothing to say!"
"But you don't need to spread it everywhere!"
"I said that I lost, yet you still spread rumors about me being defeated!"
Uchiha Eikō finished talking.
The surrounding people who eat melons started to discuss:
"What? That guy defeated the deputy captain of the Konoha Guard??"
"Is what the Uchiha said true?"
"Who is that guy? Why have you never heard of it?"
"I know…I know, his name is Shirakumo Hayama, and he often comes to my store to eat Dango."
"Our Konoha Village is really a place where many prodigies hide!"
"Who is it? A commoner actually defeated a wealthy son…"
[Ding! Congratulations to the host, gain the admiration of others, prestige +1. ]
[Prestige +1…]
[Prestige +1…]
[Prestige +1…]
With the number of onlookers increased, Hayama's prestige value is also rose.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host, who won the admiration of a hundred people, and completed the hidden task one: 'Little Famous'. ]
[Hidden reward: 1000 points of prestige are now issued. ]
Hayama looked sluggish, staring at Uchiha Eikō's mouth, and he couldn't hear what he was saying.
Unexpectedly, being so harassed by them would increase a lot of prestige.
He also did not know that the system had such things as hidden tasks.
At this time, Hayama looked at Uchiha Eikō, whose mouth foam splashed, and his complexion couldn't help but ease a little.
However, from the few words of Uchiha Eikō before, Hayama probably knew the ins and outs of the whole thing.
That is, someone deliberately misappropriated their own name to spread and slander the Uchiha Eikō, and even slander the Uchiha clan.
Finally, they blamed Hayama.
And provoked a conflict between him and Uchiha.
There were only four people who knew what had happened that day— during his assessment
It was Uchiha Eikō, Namikaze Minato, Sarutobi Hiruzen, and Shimura Danzō.
Among these few people, Minato is the first to exclude, because he is not the kind of scheming person.
With Uchiha Eikō's arrogant character, it is impossible to deliberately spread the news that he was defeated, so it can also be ruled out.
The remaining two people are more or less suspicious because they both have a grudge against the Uchiha clan!
However, according to his personal deduction, there is a 90% chance that it was done by Danzo's dirty hands.
Because Danzo not only has a grudge against Uchiha but also him.
As for Sarutobi Hiruzen, maybe he might know about it?
But it doesn't stop it…
