Ino blinked and arched an eyebrow as she felt what Hinata was doing. It was a very wide-open jutsu, it couldn't have been used to relay anything important. Ino thought that she could probably intercept such messages herself, and she was hardly the most effective or experienced telepath of the Yamanaka clan.
Yeah, gotta be careful though, Naruto's voice said. Other people that know how to do this can pick it up and listen in.
"So probably..." Ino paused. "Wait, let me try this out...I...think I can tell what you're doing." So, using it here when we can talk to each other face to face is probably useless.
"Well, unless someone's listening physically," Hinata noted quietly.
Ino nodded and concentrated briefly before reaching back to her father along a much tighter, more controlled channel of psychic thought.
Dad! These people teach telepathy like its an Academy skill! she told him. I mean, it sounds to me like Naruto and Hinata think anybody should be able to do it.
Really, her father returned. Do you think its a threat to the clan?
Not yet, Ino said. Their technique is majorly sloppy and they don't know how to 'switch channels' cause I'm talking to you in front of Hinata and Naruto and they haven't noticed a thing.
However, she was noticing the chakra drain. Hinata and Naruto's version might have been fine for conversation, this one wasn't.
Keep an eye on that for us, Inoichi noted. And stop the jutsu before you tire yourself out.
Ino resisted the urge to nod and took a deep breath as she turned her complete attention to the people in front of her.
