"Right," said Inoichi Yamanaka, suppressing a yawn.
"The candidates chosen as primaries then are - Hinata Hyuga, Tenten, Sakura Haruno, Ino Yamanaka, and Rei Uchiha," said Koharu, checking notes.
"Before anyone raises objections again," said Fugaku Uchiha. "Rei is not of the main family. She and her grandfather work at a shrine, not the police force. She has shown no sign of developing the sharingan."
Nobody said anything in reply, merely nodding or looking at their own notes. Those few who knew about the political plans of the Uchiha Clan weren't going to bring them up at this point or make them public.
"A handful of seven year olds having access to such power," said Danzo, frowning and looking especially severe. "We need better controls over them."
"Tenten's eight," automatically corrected Koharu.
"Two chunin are in the control group," said the Nara Clan head, Shikaku. "Kurenai Yuhi, a genjutsu specialist. Anko Mitarashi, contracted with serpents. Both are familiar with mind-affecting jutsu and can therefore help monitor their group. Much like you, Inoichi, can keep tabs on your daughter."
"The backup group will include Hanabi Hyuga," said Koharu. "Other members to be determined later as it's taken us far too long just to agree on this much."
"If it gets out to other villages about the change in power balances, we may have to include them in the deal," said Shikaku. He held up a hand. "Yes, I'm aware we've already spent most of the night arguing about it. No, I'm not suggesting we open that 'can of hostility' again. Just to keep it in mind for when that particular problem does come around."
