- Wait, I know one - he was a strong jonin, but he was killed on a mission two years ago," his uncle nodded.
- Three years ago," I corrected him, "Ba-chan was only three years old at the time, and Akiko Mitarashi was dying of complications from her pregnancy, though with timely help she could have grown into a jonin.
- Ah, your degree work," his uncle nodded understandingly, "but never mind, what do you want me to do?
- A year ago I was planning to send Ba-chan to the academy, but after looking at the girls' level, I decided it was a waste of time," I explained, "If she's doing well in physical training and chakra control, she's not doing so well in fundamental knowledge, so it would be a good idea to put her in clan training groups for a few years, and then send her to the last year to get to know her peers, like I did.
- Ryo, you know very well that we don't teach clan knowledge to outsiders, even if they're ten times our personal students," Shenesu frowned, "and that's the rule.
- No, no, there is no such thing as hijutsu or clan developmental complex," he waved his hand negatively, 'I mean the basic knowledge that is taught at the academy and more fully at ours, I don't have time to do it myself, and her mother can't be counted on, so there are only clan mentors,' he shrugged, as if to show that he couldn't find any other way out.
- That's a different conversation," Nara's head sighed with relief and promised, "I'll talk to the elders about it, but I don't see any obstacles.
- Well, and relocate with his mother in the neighborhood," he coughed embarrassedly into his fist.
- You're going to drag all your mistresses here? - My uncle looked at me in surprise.
- Hey, Akiko is not my mistress! - I naturally resented his teasing. - It's just that Mitsumi is almost the same age, and they will be equal partners in training matches since clan girls can't compete.
- Ah, you want to use a rival to give both of them extra motivation to train?
- That's right, because she's been a little too relaxed and proud of her successes lately," I said, "She doesn't listen to her father anymore, and Anko-chan will bring her down to earth in no time.
I had to work hard to convince Tsumi that the three students didn't have to replace her, and as soon as the training team left for free bread, the little brat started to get cranky, feeling the extra attention. A little competition will do her good and give her a little extra incentive.
- Yeah, well, you're the one who was almost perfect, but the other kids aren't so obedient," Shenesu laughed briefly and sighed nostalgically, "I remember Shikaku practicing as a kid only under the stick.
- He'll get a taste of fatherhood soon enough," I grinned gloatingly, and he grinned back at me.
