Chapter 61

And so, while walking through various shops open on the street, talking with Tsume and sometimes joining the "penalty box" (and the more I assured them that I was not offended and everything was in order, the more suffering faces they had ... I will never understand the female logic), and watching the acrobats. Why, the Inuzuki themselves excelled, surpassing all the acrobats and trainers, which is not surprising for the shinobi clan.

Ahem, so, behind all these impressions, I did not notice how I fell asleep. I woke up in a rather interesting position, in an embrace with Tsume. Praise be to all the gods, judging by the fact that some clothes were present on us, there was nothing. And what is this regret with this fact in the depths of consciousness? Yes, and as shown by a light topic of dark green color on her, the vest hides a lot, although not as much as that of the same Tsunade, and it seems that Anko does not even reach the level shown in the anime, but this is not the only thing we appreciate in women? So she goes very far on points for an alcoholic and a glutton.

- I see, you have already woken up, maybe at least now you will let me go? And then after you fell asleep, it turned out to be unrealistic to unhook you. - With a warm smile, the head of the Inuzuka clan said, although there was still a bit of malice in her voice.

- It doesn't look like anyone was very dissatisfied. I mutter softly, trying to hide my embarrassment. Somehow it was awkward.

- And yes, thank you for yesterday! - already getting out of bed and getting dressed (damn, I didn't even notice how they laid me down and undressed ... that's what it means the body felt a fasting day, well, the child's body also affected), I pronounce, bowing almost to the floor. Thus expressing all my gratitude.

- Get up, it's enough and just "thank you", you remember, I don't like all these formalities. In the meantime, come down for breakfast, your guardians are probably already waiting. – Predatory, but penetrating look, an interesting mixture.

I nod once more as I leave the room and walk down the stairs, catching the scent of Hana's chakra. I hope that at least this time they will make up ... well, or at least not fight.

Same place after Naruto left.

- Do you want something, my daughter? – Calm and slightly tense voice. Not only did the sediment in the relationship remain on both sides, but also after yesterday, Hana felt uncomfortable, and Tsume was angry, this time it was quite justified.

- I have the same question, mom. - In the tone of the mother, the daughter answered.

Tsume raised an eyebrow slightly surprised, suggesting that she continue.

"Is it just me or are you trying to drag Naruto into the clan again?"

- Ho, already without honorific? Tsume pointed out sarcastically.

- Don't change the subject! - Hana said displeasedly, however, she did not dare to look into her mother's eyes, her gaze resting slightly to the left of her head. What if Inuzuka Senior read something in that look? Something that Hana would like to hide from herself?

- Ha ha ha, I think, or have we switched roles? However, I do not require you to realize your own position. The mother snorted, looking at her daughter.

- These are just your conjectures and they do not apply to the case! I just want Naruto to choose the one he loves and not be blindly used in someone else's layouts. And if you keep dragging him into your clan… without marriage, he won't be accepted, but he won't be able to marry anyone other than the heiress, because then this girl will simply be given to the Uzumaki clan! What did you think? Hana narrowed her eyes, surprising her mother. After all, she could deduce such an alignment only if she was interested in the process. However, it doesn't seem to go deep enough.

- Oh, I'm not going to arrange any more vile machinations. However, I told you this when I apologized, I already fully understood and accepted my motives. It seems to me, or in place of the girl that young Naruto will fall in love with, do you see someone specific? – to these words of the mother, Hana herself, without expecting it, reacted with a quiet growl.

- That's just, you didn't take into account something, my daughter. As I said, I fully realized my motives. But there is a flaw in your reasoning. Naruto's ways to be in our clan are not limited to marrying an heiress. You rightly said that they wouldn't let him join just like that, without marriage. There are only two ways. The first is to marry the heiress of the clan. The second is to do the same as in the first, only with the head of the clan. Tsume chuckled as she looked at her daughter's widened eyes.

"Aren't you too old for him, Mom?" - Emphasized the last word of Khan, further emphasizing the woman's age.

- Calm down, daughter, because this means that you yourself do not need to participate in anything. Well, for now I'll wait a couple of years, and then everything will be decided by itself, and believe an experienced woman, everything will be more than love, especially when someone's hormones start to play into my hands. I won't force him and I won't force him, everything will come out by itself. There was clearly a hint in the last words, but Hana could not understand it or remember what her mother might be hinting at. There is clearly a calculation on the personality of Naruto and on the techniques of their clan, but Han's mother could not fully read until now. Yes, and when she can, she will calmly have the right to push herself to the jonin's tokubetsu in a couple of directions.

"I'm willing to admit that Naruto might be interested in someone older, but not that much." - Hana snorted, again walking on the "sick callus" of her mother, simply because there was nothing else to cover. But it was impossible to hide the growling notes in her voice, which betrayed the degree of her irritation.

- Oh, what hope. And what will you do if he is only interested in peers? Can you really let him find that "true love" among them, and not see it in yourself? - in response, her interlocutor hit the same place. However, not only the daughter could not hide the growling notes.

Don't take your fears out on me. - She tried to pretend that it did not concern Khan.

- Are you wishful thinking? Oh, that's not what I taught you. – But Hana simply could not out-argue a more experienced woman. Yes, and the experience of disputes Inuzuka Jr. was not so extensive.

Meanwhile, the situation grew more and more tense, until both Inuzukas were doused with water from above.

- You can then flog me, train me to death, scold me, and so on according to the list, but your yaki hinted that it was really time to intervene, but I can't and don't want to stand and watch how people close to me are going to grapple. - Said from somewhere in the corridor, a blond well-known to both girls.

"And yes, my chakra control is evil!" I have chakra depletion. - With a wide smile, Naruto said, falling face down on the floor.

What can I say, he deflated the situation perfectly, and even Tsume couldn't get angry at one smiling clown, what can we say about the much softer Khan?
