After learning the two S-rank Water Release techniques the Third Hokage had rewarded him with, Yamanaka Tohru continued teaching the Medical Ninja, while Uchiha Fugaku kept showing up to his lessons.
Yamanaka Tohru didn't want to get too involved with the Uchiha Clan. Even though his father, Uchiha Kagami, had been a member of the clan, it was Yamanaka Seiko who had raised him and given him a home. He didn't want anyone disturbing his mother's life.

Uchiha Fugaku's words exploded in Yamanaka Tohru's ears. He was certain he hadn't let anything slip during the past half month.
But looking at Uchiha Fugaku's expression, which practically
