- Really, really, really, - confirmed it confidently and continued, - just I repeatedly told them about such a talented and diligent student, unlike the clan lazy people, so they want to see the little Anko-chan in person, and for me it's a chance to brag to them, you'll give me the opportunity to rub the nose of too distrustful old men?
- Anko is a hard worker! - A light of determination lit up in the girl's eyes and she shook her clenched fist at the sky, apparently threatening the said old men.
- Great, then now quickly run to wash up and wash your nose, and what is it - so formidable kunoichi, but sniffles, - smiled at the student, sighing in relief that the little provocation succeeded.
Nodding and rubbing the corners of her eyes, the younger Mitarashi nodded in agreement and scurried into the house, while I turned to her mother, frowning menacingly and wiping the smile off her face.
- Akiko-chan, stop spoiling my child right now," I demanded quietly, and then threatened, "or I'll pull her out without looking at her age. Her attitude to various events form only me and no one else! - I spoke rather harshly, but by local standards I was completely in my right.
- Okay, Ryo-sama," the former kunoichi muttered, her eyes wide open at first, then suddenly blushing deep red and frowning.
I stared at her for a few moments, wondering why she'd reacted the way she did, but then I replayed what I'd said and rolled my eyes, barely able to keep my hand from reaching for her face.

- I'm ready! - She announced, smiling broadly and balling her fists to her sides.
A miracle, not a child, if only my little caprice would be like that, and took the habit of getting on Daddy's nerves, throwing tantrums, if anything is not on her.
- It's about time," he nodded, and with one hand and a small application of chakra, he threw the girl, who had shrieked in surprise, onto his shoulders, grabbed the older Mitarashi by the shoulder, and applied the shunshin, finding himself a moment later near the gate to the clan quarter. Disregarding the alert duty officers, I took a couple of steps, overcoming the almost insensible protective barrier with the guests, and with a second shunshin I found myself near the house of the head of Nara. I dabbed my hand on the fence with a pulse of chakra and reported my arrival through the protection that wouldn't let unregistered individuals past a couple of meters, and in a few moments Setsura looked out of the house, giving me permission to pass.
- Come on in," she waved her hand, casting a few curious glances at the visitors, lingering for a moment on the upper dignity of the eldest, then looking at me understandingly, "Shenesu and the elders are waiting for you at the training ground.
