"Ow! Papa-that hurts!"
"Don't fight me, Hotaru. You'll just add to the damage." Hotaru looked away as her father dabbed cleanser on to the cut on her knee. The cleanser fizzled, killing infection. She whimpered, her father wrapping her injury. "You're far too young to face Dosu on your own. He could've killed you."
"But I stopped his sonic attack, Papa." Soichi looked at his daughter with his golden eyes. "Isn't that worth something? I found his weakness. It travels in a straight arc. If you dodge it-merely duck as Dosu swings his arm, then it passes right over you and you're able to attack because his reactions are slower than chakra guided jutsu."
Soichi picked his daughter up from the ground where she had landed when Dosu had flung her out of her little clearing. He sat her up on his shoulder and looked at his student who was half cowering behind a tree. He motioned for Dosu to come forward with a finger. His student nervously obeyed and stopped in front of his teacher. With a swift motion, the bandaged boy was on the ground 5 yards away. His teacher had barely moved and yet he had been sent flying.
Setting Hotaru on her sandaled feet, Soichi gave her a gentle push back towards the village. "Go home, Sweet Pea. I'll meet you there once Dosu and I have a little talk."
Hotaru looked at Dosu and then at her father. She nodded and disappeared in a puff of smoke. Soichi turned his attention to his student wand calmly walked up to him. He grabbed the front of Dosu's clothes and lifted the boy off his feet and the ground.
"I told all 3 of you that you weren't supposed to hurt her. She is my daughter and I will kill the next disobedient of you 3." Soichi warned him in a vemonous hiss. "My daughter is more valuable to me and this village than your pitiful life. Do I make myself clear, Dosu?"
"Yes, Sensei." Dosu would've agreed to go on a suiside mission as long as it meant that his sensei wasn't going to be the one to kill him. The bandaged boy crashed onto the ground.
"I'm glad you see things my way." Soichi's eyes were hard and cold. "Now, get out of my sight."
