- Ryo is right, you are the princess of the clan, and your every move will be under close scrutiny," the first kunoichi of Konoha recited in a mentor tone, 'but the fact that you're sneaking books and scrolls from his library,' Saya-chan said.
- I... I was just borrowing to read," the kunoichi lied ineptly, averting her eyes.
- We have books like that too, but they can't be taken out of the house thanks to the defense," Mito said.
- It's not that hard to guess who they're for," he followed her, "and it would be nice if they were in the hands of only this Minato...
- What?
- ...but on all my books I put beacons, by which you can determine their position, - I continued nonchalantly, ignoring the exclamation of the interlocutor, - and they are not in the apartment Namikaze, and deep under Konoha.
- You're not only giving valuable fuinjutsu knowledge to a stranger, but you're also helping it get to people who aren't exactly clan-friendly," the red-haired beauty glared at her shrinking mentee, "Shimura Danzo has repeatedly made fruitless attempts to acquire fuinjutsu knowledge through legal and illegal means, and you presented it to him on a silver platter through this blond man.
- Did Minato promise you that he wouldn't pass it on to third parties? - I wondered aloud.
Silence was an eloquent answer.
- Kushi-chan, I was wondering if you've noticed that Namikaze spends so much money on your dates that not every chunin can afford, let alone an orphan genin. - Mito asked the girl affectionately and finished, "And since he's been learning Fuinjutsu from Ryo-kun's library, he's been spending so much money on your dates.
Shifting her gaze from me to Mito, the jinchuriki silently shook her head, her eyes glittering suspiciously.
- And the guy can't even be charged with anything - without a ban, he's free to dispose of the donated knowledge as he sees fit, including selling it to anyone he wants," I sighed.
- I, I just wanted to help Minato-kun," Kushina sniffled, wiping away tears with her hand.
Putting aside the empty cup, I got up from the chair and walked over to the girl and sat down on the couch next to her, hugging her shoulders soothingly.
- Kushi-chan, if you wanted to help, it can be done with a simple advice, not quietly carrying books, - quietly, calmly I began to say to the young kunoichi, - clan knowledge - a huge value, for which they kill, and you just give them for the attention of a handsome guy, - taking out of my pocket handkerchief, I wiped her face, - promise that you will not do this again, okay?
- Okay, I promise," the young Uzumaki lowered her gaze, adding, "I didn't think about it at all.
- So now you will," he flicked the tip of her nose with a smile.
- Well, now that that's taken care of, let's get back to the matter of your training," Mito summarized, "Ryo is free right now, so I won't embarrass you and I'll go for a walk with Toki-chan for a few hours.
Nonchalantly rising under the dazed and panicked gaze of her ward, she left the living room and a few seconds later the sound of the door opening and closing attested to the fact that we were alone.
