- Well done, Anko-chan, I'm proud of you," I patted the demonstration.
Not every clan octogenarian would make it through a lane like that, let alone with speed, so the praise is more than deserved.
- Really impressive," my uncle shook his head, joining me in applauding along with the others. The girl was literally glowing with joy, her mouth stretched into an ear-to-ear grin.
- Now let's show our special training," she suggested.
- Yes, sensei!

With a single stomp of my foot, I erected a dozen wide poles with clearly marked circles of targets on them at a distance of about forty meters, and then, under the interested stares of those around me, I printed out a bunch of kunai from a scroll.
- Ready? - I asked her.
- Yes," Anko suppressed a grin, visibly concentrating and nodded to me.
I tossed one kunai into the air, and at the same moment, the girl raised her hand and a thin thread of chakra burst from her finger, embedding itself in the hilt of the weapon.
The kunai, with a whoosh of cutting air, was sent into the center of the circle, smashing into the stone almost to the ring and clearly much stronger than the genin's hand could throw. I tossed two kunai, then three.
They suffered the same fate as the first, and with each new wave of more and more projectiles sent into the air, the spectators were more and more impressed. At six, Anko had activated her second arm, and some of the pillars were already beginning to crumble and collapse, unable to withstand the constant bombardment of sharp metal.
Successfully sending nine kunai into the target, on the next and last wave, the student missed the tenth by a thread of chakra, but did not hesitate and sent nine in flight, picked up and sent the last one following the others, not letting it fall to the ground.
Even though Anko's marksmanship had begun to decline with seven kunai, even with such shortcomings, it was an amazing display from such a little girl. With a skill like that, ordinary genin were no match for her.
Akiko's open mouth, who didn't know about our training until now, was a testament to that. Of course, it was harder to impress three veterans with such tricks, but considering the age of the performer, I had achieved my goal.
- Now I believe in your predictions, Ryo-kun," Shenesu shook his head in amazement.
The elder Mitarashi sighed in relief, smiling encouragingly at her tired daughter, for whom the concentration shown was well worth the effort. For now. In about two years, she would be able to handle the threads even in her sleep.
- In addition, Anko-chan has mastered two of the three basic techniques," he boasted proudly, clarifying, 'in just a week and a half of daily hour-long lessons,' and nodded to the slightly out of breath girl.
