- Of course not, why would you think that?! - Nara grinned mockingly and reached out and patted the girls' hands reassuringly. - Access to the clan quarter is open to you, so you can always drop by your former teacher to ask advice or ask for help, I just let you out from under the wing in free flight, - he waved his hands, - now no one will stand over your head and will be able to live the way you want to live, and not under the orders of that guy.
- Ha, all normal genin dream of having someone standing over their heads like that," Hoshi snorted, crossing her arms.
- Now you will develop and grow on your own, I've provided you with enough impetus to reach the rank of jonin in five years, - Nara looked at the girls seriously, but smiled immediately, - but let's not talk about work, we're celebrating and I've prepared gifts just for this day.
- Gifts? - The chunins looked at each other.

- Then I'll bring them tomorrow," the apprentice nodded.
- I'm curious too," Asani said, shifting her gaze from her partner to her teacher.
- You should come too," Ryo said, waving his hand, "at least you'll know how to counter such dolls when the location of the kugutsu user is unknown and there are no barriers at hand.
