After the academy, Ino and Sakura met Sasuke, and once again, they were angry seeing him together with Tenten.
The group followed the usual training, and Ino and Sakura started tree walking. However, the girls didn’t notice that there was a new visitor watching them.
‘INO, WHAT IS SHE DOING HERE?’ the man thought with fury.
It was none other than Inoichi who had come to continue with Sasuke’s sessions after a discussion with the Hokage. After watching his daughter for a few minutes, he was extremely surprised.
‘Uchiha Sasuke, what sorcery have you performed to make my daughter so focused in her training? And even the other 2 girls are training extremely seriously.’
Inoichi was an extremely curious person who loved gossiping. He couldn’t help but have his curiosity piqued. His anger reduced as he kept watching the girls’ training.
After five minutes, he silently approached his daughter, and when he was right behind her, he said with a fake smile, “Hello, my dear daughter. It’s nice seeing you here.”
Ino immediately freaked out, terrified.
“DAD, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?”
“Well, don’t you remember our discussion? The handsome Uchiha boy is one of my clients. The true question is why are you here?”
Ino was petrified. However, her pink-haired friend replied instead, “It was me, Inoichi-san. I wanted to train with Sasuke-kun and asked Ino to come with me.”
“It’s nice to see that you two are good friends again.” Inoichi said with a mischievous smile and continued, “Especially when the same thing that broke your friendship helped you reunite once again.”
Both Sakura and Ino turned red from embarrassment.
“Don’t worry, Ino, I won’t keep you away from your training. You seem so focused nowadays. I am so proud! I wonder what have changed!” he said while struggling to keep himself from laughing at the girl’s expression.
“Don’t worry, we can talk at home after I have a discussion with your handsome friend,” he said while looking towards the pond’s direction. Ino was terrified again.
“Daddy, please don’t embarrass me with Sasuke-kun,” she managed to say.
“At least I am still your daddy. I thought that you would have completely forgotten about me while training with your Sasuke-kun,” he said.
“DAAAAAAAAD” she shouted embarrassed.
Inoichi couldn’t hold himself anymore and started laughing loudly while going towards Sasuke.
‘I need to have a good discussion with the boy’ he thought.
Even Tenten lost her focus because of Inoichi and said, “Ino, your father is such a troll.”
“You know nothing. This is him trying not to embarrass me.” Ino said with a complaining tone.

Inoichi was surprised as he watched Sasuke’s training. He even kept staring at him more than his daughter. Sasuke was doing pushups on the water while having 1 leaf on his forehead and 2 leaves in his elbows.

‘This exercise is extremely difficult for his age. Heck, this is chunin training. This boy wasn’t joking about being Hokage. My daughter really knows how to choose. Maybe I can make an arrangement with him for one of their children to keep the Yamanaka name instead of the Uchiha one. This can work, and my clan will have a future leader with a Sharingan.’
As Inoichi was considering his future plans, Sasuke had already sensed him and was waiting for him to approach while keeping his training. Finally, Inoichi approached him and said, “Hello Sasuke. I have talked with Hokage, and I am here for our weekly session”
“Hello, Inoichi. I am glad to see you again,” Sasuke said with a mild smile.
“In the future, our sessions will occur every Friday at 17:00 in my office at the mental health clinic. However, since I am here today, we can have our session in your house if you want.’
Sasuke immediately agreed and went into his living room together with Inoichi.

Sasuke asked Inoichi for refreshments and ended up making him tea. After both of them were comfortable and having a small talk, Inoichi finally asked him.
‘Sasuke before we begin, can you please tell me how did you manage to make my daughter train with so much focus?’
Sasuke smiled and described his discussion with Ino and Sakura with all the details. He told him that exactly what he said to Ino, that he will accept her love only after she reaches the rank of chunin and be mature enough.
Inoichi was extremely satisfied with Sasuke’s maturity. The more he learned about this boy, the more impressed he was.
‘Sasuke, you are very mature for your age, but you made a little mistake. You should have told them to aim for the rank of Jonin. Heck, these girls have so much motivation that they could try to reach Kage level for you.’
Both Sasuke and Inoichi had a good laugh.
After their session, Inoichi congratulated Sasuke for his mood improvement and gave him some advice about handling his rage and hate towards his brother.

After Inoichi left, he took Ino and Sakura with him to have a talk with them. Sasuke remained alone with Tenten and finished his training like usual.
A shirtless Sasuke approached Tenten once again while she was too focused on her training. Today she managed to walk to the top of the tree several times, and according to Sasuke’s estimations, in a few days she will be ready for her water walk training.
‘Tenten, it’s time to show you the weapons, let's go,’ Sasuke said with excitement and grabbed her hand.
Tenten was surprised and blushed furiously.
‘His veins are so beautiful,’ she thought but immediately got angry with her thoughts. ‘What am I even thinking? Sasuke is younger than me, and he is very innocent.’
When she managed to escape from her thoughts, Sasuke had already dragged her into the Uchiha weapon vault. He gave her access through all the security measures, trusting her completely.
Tenten was ecstatic. However, while she was in front of so many great weapons, she couldn’t help but throw side glances at Sasuke’s veins.
‘What’s wrong with me?’ she thought again with worry but couldn’t stop herself. At the same time, Sasuke was giving her a summary of the best weapons, and she was nodding while smiling, pretending to pay attention.
Sasuke kept grabbing her hand to navigate her to each weapon while having a pure and innocent smile. The navigation finally ended. Tenten had so much to think. She couldn’t wait to go into her room and analyze her new thoughts.
‘Why do I have these strange thoughts? Why can’t I stop looking at his veins?’ She kept asking herself.
Sasuke, watching her thinking, had a small giggle and said, ‘Tenten, you are so cute when you are thinking.’
Suddenly her heart started pounding hard, and she panicked. She even made a small ‘Ah’ sound. She immediately started running outside and said, ‘Sorry Sasuke, I forgot something. I have to go.’
Watching her go, Sasuke’s expression changed, and his smile turned a little evil.
The ANBU with the rabbit mask who was watching Sasuke all these days thought, ‘My god, this guy is such a player. If he keeps it up, I have to give up my rabbit mask to him in the future. I have to introduce this kid to Jiraiya-sama.’

Sasuke spent the weekend training alone and making new additions to his routine. He was now using 3 leaves and 3 rocks in the leaf balancing exercise, which no longer could be called that. He had 1 rock on his forehead, 2 rocks at his hands, 2 leaves at his knees, and 1 leaf at his upper chest. His goal was to train all his chakra points to be able to send out the correct amount of chakra. By using rocks, he made the exercise much more challenging and chakra-consuming. Sasuke was performing this exercise together with water walking and managed to make it very challenging.
He also made small breaks during noon and finally finished memorizing all the academy books.
‘It’s finally time to ask Iruka about calligraphy and about the 3 academy jutsus. I also need to practice shuriken throw this week. At some point, I also need to practice my fireball jutsu and find more information about elemental training. My time is extremely limited.’
