After the fifth time, I got tired of the short pigtail flickering before my eyes, and with a sigh I reached out and caught Inuzuka by the shoulders, earning a threatening growl from the dog. However, it was only necessary to cast a glance in his direction and the savvy canine shut up, hiding behind the lean figure of his mistress.
- I apologize and stop flashing your eyes," he nodded, letting her go.
And the girl, who had barely entered the age of maturity, finally got a chance to look at me and began to blush slowly but surely.
- I-excuse me.
- I already did. I guess since we've dealt with your partner's behavior, I'll be on my way," I nodded and turned and continued walking towards the clan leader's house.
- Ano... excuse me... but what are you doing in our clan's territory without an escort? - came from behind after only a few seconds.
- Naturally, I'm going to kidnap your clan head," I said ironically, turning my head slightly and slowing down.
- What?! N-but...," came a panicked cry from behind me and I turned around almost against my will, raising my eyebrows high as I saw Inuzuka almost hysterical.
- Meh! - The dog snorted in defeat, putting all his feelings into that sound, and dropped to the ground, covering his face with his paws.
His whole posture exuded shame for his mistress.
- Actually, it's not true, I'm just going to sneak into the clan house and seduce its inhabitants," he flashed a white-toothed smile when it became clear that there was no other reaction.
- Wah...! Co-seduce?! - Inuzuka's face instantly flared to the roots of his hair and his eyes widened to one and a half times their size, but the beast only whimpered, unable to bear the mockery.
The palm of my hand that met my forehead was a good indication of how I felt. Oh Kami, Yami, Shinigami! Where did the Inuzuka dig up that feather-wearing wonder?! Sighing, I looked at the dog and even patted his withers as I got closer.
- It's not easy for you with such a mistress, boy - you have to take care of two people at once, - I nodded sympathetically.
The animal's gaze was filled with unutterable longing, and it was so deep in his liver.
- W-what? Rafu?
Neither of us paid attention to the girl, who finally began to realize that something was wrong.
- You should only give her to a trustworthy and reliable guy, and only after a long probationary period, otherwise it's scary to think what could happen with her gullibility," I sighed.
The dog nodded frustratedly and sighed in the same way.
- Ano... Rafu, guest-san, what are you doing?!
- Ryo-san, stop embarrassing Ruri-chan," the shinobi who had been in the crown of the tree we'd stopped at about a minute ago decided to speak up at this very moment.
- Greetings, Takeshi-san," I raised my head to the familiar chunin. - I have nothing to do with this.
I'd treated him at the front, and we'd met occasionally in the village to get to know each other.
