- Seals? - She was surprised, flipping through the sheets quickly.
- For all occasions," I nodded, "even if they're not useful now, who knows what will happen later?
- Ryo, you shouldn't have, you already promised to help me, - the girl raised her eyes at me, - especially, some of the seals here are worth much more than even a dozen lessons for kids....
- So? I can't give a small gift to my friend? - I raised an eyebrow questioningly. - Anyway, I'll drop by your place to check on my father in a day, I'll be examining Mikoto-san. Thanks for the lesson and bye.
Without waiting for a reply, I nodded goodbye to Chifuyu and used Shunshin, appearing moments later near the entrance to the clan quarter. I nodded to the familiar chunin Nara who were standing guard, and walked leisurely towards the house, occasionally nodding to the clansmen who were hurrying about their business.
- Ma, Linley, I'm home! - He announced his arrival to the family from the doorstep.
- Honey? Come on in, dinner's almost ready," his wife looked out of the kitchen for a moment.
- Ryo? - Mom also appeared from the living room. - Are you already free for today?
- Yes, just orphan training left, but I'll send a clone after lunch," he nodded, giving her a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
- Great," Ma said, "At least you'll be home for the evening. By the way, Kushina-chan came by and gave me the textbook you asked me to tell you about.
Huh? I have to tell Mito about it, and then we'll have a talk with a sneaky tomato.
- Got it, thanks.

- I think it's time to have another talk with Kushi-chan about what you can and can't do," Mito sighed sadly, fiddling with the unfortunate textbook I'd brought with me to the Senju clan quarter, "I thought it was past the point of her education.
- Well, it's pretty basic knowledge that Kushina-chan might not have given much thought to," I suggested, realizing that was an excuse.
- But instead of borrowing the exact same book from my library, she was too lazy to go to the Nara quarter and borrow it from you," the beautiful Uzumaki narrowed her eyes, "She tried to hide it from me, so she feels guilty!
- The influence of hormones? - I suggested. - I've seen this Namikaze once - a very handsome blond, simple girls are happy to hang on such with pleasure, and Kushi-chan can not be called the most reasonable girl, despite all the education received, and the age is quite suitable for the first love....
- It's all your fault! - suddenly declared the red-haired beauty, turning around on the sofa and poking me in the chest with her finger.
- Me?" I was a bit taken aback by such a statement, trying to understand Uzumaki's train of thought that led to such a statement.
Women, my ass.
