Right! He asked us not to fight. We're not. In fact we're not fighting SO hard we're just... going the extra mile in the other direction.FurikoMaru said:
When did Lupin go on the run with hitmen after him, 15? He doesn't have a huge amount of experience with fathers, either, presumably.Hymn of Ragnarok said:He could, but it just doesn't seem to fit.
I mean he's an overprotective father pretty much default, he just dials it down, but that's not all that's at play here. I'm sure of it. If it was that simple we'd have guessed it by now, yet Furiko says none of us are close. There must be something going on in the background we don't know about that's giving Inoichi a nudge. Or something we haven't considered.
And I'm still wondering why Lupin has been so uncharacteristically quiet. Or why Ino isn't hitting the voice of experience up.

Gaara will push you to excel. Right in front of everyone. Right before an invasion.MHLord said:

Marvin Gaye - What's Going On.FurikoMaru said:
Makes sense that the Intelligence guy would hide talents under the obvious.FurikoMaru said:"I've laid a seal array upon the doors into this room that acts as a trigger for a genjutsu," he replies, "one you'll be learning this month. Anyone who walks into this room besides you and I will find it empty and silent."
You're genuinely surprised at that. Since when does Dad know anything about fuuinjutsu?
I'm betting there's a lot he knows that we don't.
Huh.FurikoMaru said:Yeah, I was about to ask, what do you make of this?
Can't say for certain, but I think he thinks he's run out of time.
Why guilt?FurikoMaru said:Before you can ask what he means, your father asks you if you are certain you're ready to hear things you can never repeat to anyone.
You say yes, and without being fully sure why, a sudden wave of guilt steals over you.
Ira?FurikoMaru said:"We have reason to believe that a group of missing nin originating from Sound will descend on Konoha in the aftermath of the chuunin exams," Inoichi says.
You blink. "What? Is that why that Oto chuunin was in the exams?"
He nods. "Ira-san is the one who confirmed the report. He's here to hammer out the details of our alliance."
And that accounts for why everyone seems to be going behind Asuma.FurikoMaru said:"We do," he says shortly, "and you and I will have to leave it there, for now. I've told you more than anyone outside the intelligence branches knows already."
You are touched. This is almost better than him congratulating you on your performance in the exams. "... thank you, Dad."
Inoichi really is bending over backwards to treat us like an adult isn't he?FurikoMaru said:"There's one more thing," Inoichi says, frowning, and you can tell from the way his bass notes rumble around themselves that he'd really rather not tell you this next part, but he'd feel guilty if he didn't. "It came up in the discussion of terms. The Otokage is an expert in long-term genjutsu and he's confident he can remove the compulsion Itachi placed on you."
And let's not forget that we have a month to corrupt Kibi.Guile said:I do hope Inoichi doesn't monopolize ALL our time, though. With Gaara, Kankuro, Kiba and Ino working together on our off hours we could do terrible, terrible things (and also make pistols).
