"It's always fun getting Kiba flustered," Hana agreed with a nod of her head, noting the continued smile. "And unexpected distractions are more effective than the usual predictable sort."

Still grinning, Hana admitted that in spite of her willingness to enjoy her brother's embarrassing situations, "I suppose I had it easy, since I've always worked with our clan kids rather than Academy students. No one to poke fun at me or set me disagreeable tasks besides my mother." Iruka would know well enough just how much trouble Inuzuka children could be, but Hana had also grown up as one. She had a distinct advantage when it came to handling her own clan. Plus, it was always a smaller group than a full Academy class. Less potential for chaos, if only slightly.
