“Yeah… it must be hard to file a lengthy report based on one’s bust-waist-hip measurements. Tell me, how did he become our Kage again?” Yuzuki frown, crossing her arms in her displeasure of the man. She was still rather sore about being thought of as a stripper when she first met him. “Tell me Tsushia-sensei, did he think you were a prostitute or stripper when he first met you?”
It was safe to say that the Raikage didn’t exactly rank all that highly on her list of people that were important to her, leader or not she saw him as the poster boy for sexual harassment. Pulling herself from her thoughts Yuzuki paused for a moment when they were told that they were going to go out so soon for a mission. Her face became stoic as the words passed her ears. Her thoughts were along the same lines as Kori’s in regards to the timing of the situation. Yuzuki looked over at slightly charred and frizzy haired boy that was just pulled up from the group. Did she even have enough skill and jutsu to start a mission so soon? She barely knew any and that could hurt the team. She hated being the weakest link, and she would be really sore at herself if she was needing to be rescued because of this. Then there was poor Yuichi.
“Well, I’m alright to go for the most part, spare replenishing my tools before I go… but… what about Captain Crispy over there. He looks like he could actually use some medical attention after that little blacklash…” Despite her saying that she was ready, she really had a tone of uncertainty and reservation in her voice. If whatever was in that cave was immune to her Genjutsu then she was as good as useless. That in itself was enough to make her feel rather… uneasy… about the whole thing, they had a jounin sure, but she might not be able to help all the time. Yuzuki wished she had better chakra control, at least that way she could properly set traps in the cave or do something useful if her genjutsu wasn’t going to work.
She kept such insecurities to herself, she too, had a lot of pride that she was desperate to nurture and strengthen, she just chose to do so in a different manner than Yuichi. Yuzuki’s body language might have said more to the kounichi ever could. Yuzuki steeled herself a little more though, she wasn’t one to believe in monsters of the supernatural, if there was something in the mines then it was going to explained by something natural and scientific, the reason that miners were disappearing because they came across a Head Quarters of some rogue ninja, one of which could have been a genjutsuist creating the illusions of monsters to fuel superstition and feed fear. Come to think of it, if the mine did have precious minerals then it would make sense for other profit seekers to try and scare off the miners, create a monster illusion and take the precious minerals or whatever was there and claim it as their own. Hmmm… interesting, when Yuzuki thought of it that way, then she was confident that she could easily help the others and handle this. She visibly relaxed, looking to her Sensei and then to the still rather unhealthy looking Yuichi.
This might be an… interesting… trip.

 Yuichi Shizen As Yuichi was yanked to his feet he sighed. "Thank you." he said sincerely. He ccould have gotten up on his own but kindness was something he rarely got. He had learned to show his gratitude wherever it arose and more importantly to take help with a grain of salt. More ofteen then not the erson who saved him ended up scowling with everyone else moments later. As Tsuchia poke of a mission so soon after arriving Yuichi merely shrugged. His thoughts were amoung those of the others, Why so soon? however it didn't matter an order was an order. They would have to go one way or the other. As Yuzuki mentioned his current state Yuichi shook his head. "No, I'm fine, a little short on chakra but that will recouperate as we travel. The backlash of that technique seems to be only temporary." he said his breathing still a bit labored as he spoke. He didn't want to slow down the team, he would have to tough it out. Walking over to where he had been fighting Yuzuki he picked up his trench knives, which he had dropped when the back lash occured. Looking them over he noticed the handles were actually blacked from the discharge. "I learned the limit of this ability earlier, I can only use it three times before it immobilizes me. I'll keep it to two uses from now on." he said evenly. Placing the knives in their place under his jacket he tured to the others, "I'm reay to go." he said with a smile.

 The woman laughed at Yuzuki's comments on their Kage. Though her face was full of mirth, her eyes showed she had dealt with worse. "Having known the guy since he was a genin like you three, trust me when I tell you that you were only given a taste of his terrible woman skills. I have seen him at his worst and believe me, you got off easy." Her gaze shifted to Yuichi, who was closest to her. His breathing was labored yes, but it was coming under control. Some things would need to be taught to the boy to help him control his chakra a little more as it appeared he was using too much and it was causing him to become exhausted too quickly. "Well if your all up to it, let's all meet up at the village gate when your ready." She turned and headed in the the direction of the village, though any of the genin could easily catch up to her if they needed to speak with her.

 ❋Kori Shirayuki ❋
A cold breeze just rolled in.....
Kori turned to her teammates as Tsuchia headed off. Her arms on her hips, she focused on Yuichi. "Are you sure you"ll be fine, Yuichi? I wouldn't want you to collapse during our mission because you did something stupid." Kori's disposition towards Yuichi hadn't changed in her voice in the slightest, but her intent was to ensure they wouldn't be down a member or have him become a liability if things got serious.
From what she had seen she figured Yuzuki would understand her point and agree or better yet, back her up. If this thing they were going to fight was some strange creature, they would need to use teamwork to take it down. Worse, if it was simply a rouge ninja hiding out and only creating illusions to hide some other purpose then they would need even better teamwork. But if one of them failed, then the others would have to work harder to keep the one in danger safe and try to complete/escape the mission as well.
.....oh wait, that was just my breath.

“Gee, I can hardly wait to find out…” Yuzuki stated flatly, frowning with a rather unamused stare that graced her face. “You will hold me back if need be, right?”
Though the comment was said half joking, Yuzuki fully meant what she said, it would be unlikely that he would say anything to actually set her off to that point but… she had her days were things just set her off. Yuzuki looked down at her cut wire and noted that she would have to go home or to a store and get some more, she nodded her understanding of the Jounin’s instructions. Yuzuki brought the blades of her claws back while Kori was bluntly telling Yuichi that she wasn’t as confident as he was that he was better. Yuzuki did agree fully, she didn’t want him to push himself too hard, but she was also willing to give him the benefit of the doubt that he just needed a little time out to get some rest. She looked over at Yuichi, her tone was far more kinder than Kori in her delivery.
“She does have a point, Yuichi, the mission can wait a day if you need it. Tsushia will understand if you need one. That being said, I’m not your mother, and I don’t intend to mother-hen you either. So, I will give you the benefit of the doubt here, but if you need a rest, let us know, alright? A shinobi must learn and understand their limits, yes? Just keep in mind that one crippled member does hurt the team, so let’s make a deal with each other, if anyone is tired or don’t think that we can go on, we’ll let each other know and then we'll make a decision as a team, does that sound fair to everyone?”
Yuzuki had a feeling that she was going to be balance of the group. That was alright with her though, she tried to be a voice of reason and make level headed decisions, this was one of those times where she was going to have to trust in her comrades a little. Yuichi seemed to be doing better, and she was sure that if their Jounin thought that Yuichi was doing poorly enough that she would put off the mission till he got better. She seemed responsible enough. Hopefully that wasn’t an inaccurate guess.
Yuzuki nodded to the others of her team, this was going to be a big step for them in their path of a shinobi. It was something of a milestone in their lives, and they were all going to be doing it together, it… meant a lot to Yuzuki, actually, though she would never show it, or let the others know about it. Who knew where their missions and adventures would take them and who knew what they would see or become along the way. “Well, I’m going to pick up some wire and some other things, if one or both of you aren’t there in an hour we’ll call it off till we’re all ready.”
Yuzuki raised her hands and formed a sign, a plume of smoke erupted from under her feet and soon swallowed her up, when the smoke cleared Yuzuki was gone to run her errands. She would keep her word, she felt that because of the importance of their first mission, that they should all go together, whether they liked each other or not, who knew? Maybe in a few months they would look back at this and laugh at how poorly things seemed to start off.

Yuichi Shizen Yuichi took a deep breath as kori spoke. Sue it was harsh but he was starting to understand that that was about the nicest things would get. Then as yuzuki chimed in as well he just smiled. "Thank you..." he said sincerely before she vanished to go run her errends. Turning to kori he smiled, "I'll be fine, I'll go grab something to eat, maybe a few food pills for the road and then meet up at the gate. You can come with me if you want." he said as kind of a peace offering for using her as a spring board earlier. It was no question she wasn't too happy with him for doing so. Placing his hands in his pockets he thought for a moment looking up at the sky. "Where do i want to eat... or what more specifically." he mused out loud as he began heading toward the edge of the platau. He was sure if Kori wanted to come she would. She probably wouldn't though... With a last step he walked off the edge of the training ground heading down the mountain.

❋Kori Shirayuki ❋
A cold breeze just rolled in.....
Kori allowed herself a small smile as Yuzuki came to her side. She would never admit it but she was biased against Yuichi from the start. Lucky for him Yuzuki was there to mediate, otherwise he would likely get a mouthful every time he did something she didn't see eye to eye with. A small part of her was glad for Yuzuki's cool head, while the rest of her didn't care.
As her friend left to gather her supplies, she raised an eyebrow at Yuichi's promise and his offer. She shook her head lightly, as if she was a mother shaking her head at her silly child. "Sorry hotshot, but I've got to get my own things together. See you at the gate." She turned and dashed away, towards the village and her home.
Truth of the matter was, she actually did have something to do before she left- two things she needed to grab and one task that needed doing. She could go without them in all honesty, but she was glad she could use them for an excuse not to accept Yuichi's offer. She pushed her thoughts of Yuichi away and focused on her destination. She had a mission to do and this one wasn't official.....
.....oh wait, that was just my breath.

Man… what a weird dream that was last night, honestly Yuzuki still didn’t know what to think about it, all she knew was that she was still a little shaken by the experience, it had been a long time sense she had a nightmare that did that to her. Yuzuki was up early, she really wasn’t sure what, her and her team were going to do today, but she figured a little training would be a good way to start the day, she figured that getting some new jutsu under her belt would be both a good way to wake up and it would be a great benefit to her team too. Yuzuki’s body still felt really, really strange from the other day, she wasn’t sure what that woman did to her, or if she did anything at all, but she was hoping that it wasn’t going to cripple her chakra usage. Yuzuki had made her way down to the cliffs that held the training fields, they held up fairly well despite the attack, though the landscape had changed somewhat in the unexpected struggle. Yuzuki found a comfortable spot so that she would be able to manipulate the chakra around her, she doubted that she would get very much training done before someone found her and got her to work in order to pay off the damage in the village. She may not have to clean it up personally, but she was still going to have to work in order to pay off the damages anyway. After a few moments of trying to channel her chakra she realized that she was having some trouble summoning it properly.
’What the heck is with my chakra?!’ Yuzuki thought to herself in agitation, as she held her hands in the sign of the tiger. She had poor chakra control before, but not like this… maybe she should try and find her sensei and ask her if she had some tricks or something that she could pass onto her to help her with this chakra control. The question was though… where was she going to find her at this time and was she even available. She supposed that she would just have to wait and fiddle around with her chakra herself for a while and see what she could make of it, if all else failed she could always just work on mundane abilities and non jutsu skills. She had a few in mind that she could work on, but she supposed the right now she should try and calm her chakra down or at least get it under control so that she could mould it properly.

Yuzuki was going through her meditation with little success when she felt something approaching close by, she looked over her shoulder and saw Nori coming over to her.
”Hey Yu-Yu, how are you doing today?
Yuzuki opened her eyes and looked over at older sister for a moment before she closed her eyes again. ”Hey Nori, I’m alright… though… would you be able to help with something?”
”Well… I really have to go soon… but I could leave you some shadow clones if that would help?” Noriko replied with an apologetic look. Though Yuzuki nodded in acceptance, she supposed that this was just as good as having Nori with her. ”Yeah, that’s fine, I was hoping to work on taijutsu and teach myself blind fighting.” Nori looked over with a smirk and a quick nod. ”Shadow Clone Jutsu~!” Three more Nori’s appeared in a puff of smoke and the real Nori took off. Yuzuki pushed off of the rock and looked to her sisters clones. She bowed her head and closed her eyes. ”Let’s start with the Blind fighting, how about that?”
”You got it Yu-Yu! Hidden Mist jutsu.” The area became enshrouded in a deep, thick fog… damn her sister was good at this jutsu, Yuzuki sighed and closed her eyes to try and further limit her senses so that she didn’t rely on her eyes, Yuzuki brought the blindfold to her eyes and tied it firmly so that she couldn’t see, she gave a flick of her wrist and positioned the blades to her fingers before getting into a fighting stance. She concentrated on what was going on around her with her ears and tried to pick up sounds in the dark that would allow her to detect where the clones would be coming from. She tilted her head to the side and strained to hear something that would give her opponent away, though her sister was pretty quiet herself being a jonin. Yuzuki was interrupted form her thoughts when she felt an impact to her left, she stumbled forwards to get another impact from below, causing her to stumble, she quickly caught herself and with a flip she landed on her feet, her body low to the ground. She frown a little. This wasn’t going to be fun and this was going to be a little more difficult than she originally thought it might be. Yuzuki started to move, move with stealth so that she wouldn’t be hearing her own footsteps and throw herself off or confuse herself with the sounds of her own foot falls. She tilted her head to the side suddenly. Hearing what she thought was movement from the side, she shifted her weight and rolled in a clockwise rotation, to deflect what she perceived was an attack, only to find air and a sudden impact on her left side. She stumbled but quickly found her footing and re-took her defensive position.
She paused, she thought for a moment about how she was going to try and achieve this. Blind fighting didn’t seem to be just about listening, it was partly about guessing and anticipating your foes next moves and where they were going strike from. Although her problem was that her opponent could strike anywhere. She slowed her breathing to quiet the sounds in her ears further. She listened for her opponent again, she heard the fast rhythm of footfalls and then… nothing. From up above then, Yuzuki pushed herself off to the side to avoid the impact, she heard the sounds of an impact and turned her aggression towards where she heard the impact form, only to find air and the feel of movement as a shinobi body flickered away from a strike. She was trying to predict her movement, though the only thing that she was getting was what seemed to be random noises and natural shuffling. She was starting to learn how to pick out the background noise from the noises of her opponents. When she thought that she heard one of them she would go after them, trying to use the noise to pinpoint their location and take them out, only to find nothing but air when she got there. Admittedly it was starting to get a little frustrating for her but she kept going. She continued practicing with her sisters clones for a good couple of hours before the effects of the exercise was starting to get to her. Her chakra flow felt so out of whack that it was affecting her stamina. She didn’t know if it was something to worry about or if it was just stress that was causing her chakra to be so wild. Little by little, her sisters clones were starting to pick away at her stamina and she was getting tired. Yuzuki could only lash out wildly, only to find nothing where her sisters clone was before. She was making progress however, her sister’s shadows clones were slowly ramping up the difficulty for Yuzuki without her knowing. So what Yuzuki perceived as frustrating failure was actually progress. Yuzuki continued on with her training for a while after that, finally the clones of her sister swooped in to finish things off.
She paused and turned her head slowly around to try and hear her opponent as they came at her. When she heard nothing she bounded away to her left, back-flipping a few times to put some distance in-between where she thought her opponent might be. She felt a hand on her shoulder and cursed silently in her head as she lifted her claws to catch the blade. She spun on the ball of her foot and brought her left hand to bare while her other had struck forwards to try and hit her mark. She felt the tip of a kunai against her back and paused. Yuzuki closed her eyes and admitted defeat with a sigh and a bow of her head. Once more, she had been humbled by her sister. The fog cleared and the other clones were standing there, smiling softly at their originals younger sister.
”Why don’t you take a break and then we’ll help you you’re your taijutsu?”
”…sure…” Thoughts: *Sigh* Feelings: ._. Theme music: Zen Killer ((1000/1000 Blind fighting))

The sharp ringing of steel upon steel broke the silence that had built up in the land of lightning’s training area as Yuzuki and her sisters shadow clones were practicing their close combat and weapon styles. The trio broke apart for a moment as Yuzuki put some distance between herself and the beasts across from her, Yuzuki was already sweating hard but the clones of her sister weren’t even breathing heavy. She levelled her hand to bring it into a defensive position while she tried to get a read on her two opponent that were tag teaming her. Yuzuki tried to slow her breath, god she needed to do more of this sort of thing… she was getting so out of shape. Granted, it seemed that she was more out of breath sooner than usual, sure she had practiced something before this, but she shouldn’t be this out of breath and so soon. Yuzuki pushed off with her foot again and charged towards the pair, kicking off and trying to drop kick one of the clones while keeping her left arm ready to block any attacks that the other one might be preparing, though they both dodged out of striking range and then bounded towards Yuzuki, she raised her weapons and deflected the barrage of kunai attacks as best she could with the armoured part of her gauntlets. She could feel her flesh part slightly as the odd attack nicked and parted flesh, causing the hot blood from her body to run into her pale flesh. It was then that one of them backed off while the other continued with her soft barrage, it was obvious that Nori was really nerfing her attacks, but for someone like Yuzuki it was a challenge to keep up with, the clones sensed this and made sure that Yuzuki wasn’t going to get seriously injured doing this with them. When Yuzuki finally had the chance she started to try and take the offensive from her sister and began to push back with her claws and agility, lashing out and trying to aim for some more vital areas on her sisters clone, it was great practice, trying to hit something that could move, dodge and counter, it was far better than actually striking a straw dummy that just stood there. One could never gauge reactions and actions based on a straw dummy, it was always better to spar with real people. Yuzuki was making little headway in her attacks, her sister and by extension, her clones were just too skilled for her to land anything or even come close to touching her. At least she was going good enough that she was able to at least go on the offensive, though that was more than likely just her sister throwing her a bone and letting her get her practice in before she turned up the heat a little more and made things significantly harder. Then again, she did have a group of genin for her own, so maybe she was actually teaching Yuzuki something… or at least letting her learn.
Yuzuki decided to alter her strategy a bit and started to try and misdirect her sister with her body language, Yuzuki started to throw in some sloppy feints and footwork to try and get some level of an edge in so that she could bring in some favor on her end. Her sisters clone just seemed to smile a little bit, either she was amused or found what Yuzuki was doing more than a little funny in her attempts to understand and improve upon her style. Still she tried to pick up the pace and at least try and genuinely push back her sister, though the odds of that were poor. She put some more grace and fluidity into her steps and strikes, her style was more of speed and grace more than it was of brute strength and crushing. She needed to focus on the strengths of her weapon, not the weaknesses of it. She had chosen these to aid her fighting style because they were a precision weapon, not some brutal sword or barbaric axe, these were her graceful extensions of her arm and fingers. Yuzuki’s wicked and blind thrusts slowly became graceful slashes and gliding strikes, pinpoint piercings and agile lashings. Yuzuki was starting to learn that her weapon worked better with flicks of her wrists more than using her arm, her wists make quicker movements than her arm for the most part, though her arm was a good choice and she certainly used it in combinations with the Talons that she wore, it was more the wrist that gave the last minute, subtle gestures that would open up bigger wounds and more weeping openings than just the slash of her back handed strike. The back handed strike had its place, too, she learned. She was still making some progress in understanding her weapons and its functions better though and that was the point of doing this. She was still a far ways from mastering her weapon, but there was no doubt that she had made some progress with what she had set out to do. Yuzuki, try as she might though, was still not getting through her sisters defenses, sweat was rolling down her face and her movement were getting slow because of the burning in her muscles. Laboured breathing was coming out of her frame, still, she didn’t want to give up just yet, she had made so much progress with her understanding and her abilities, but it seemed that Noriko sensed her weakening state and began to push more aggressively at her in an attempt to get her to back down and surrender for the time being. But Yuzuki too this as a challenge and began to take the defensive once more, using the armour from the back of her gauntlet to once more deflect and misguide her sisters attempts at aggression. It all came to a stop though when a few swift movement from Noriko had Yuzuki gazing up at the sky, out of breath and tired from her short but intense bout of training, Noriko’s clones looked fine though, as though they could have done this sort of training for a while longer.
”Hey, you did great, let’s call it a day shall we? You teacher might be looking for you and we might be holding her up from approaching you.”
”Sure, thanks Nori… I’ll be here for a while, I might go back to practicing things if she doesn’t show up soon.” Thoughts: What a work out~! Feelings: Slimy and sweaty and gross...

While Yuzuki was resting the two clones of her sister seemed to converse with themselves, Yuzuki had closed her eyes for a moment and was quickly regaining her breath again and her strange chakra fluctuations seemed to be working in her favor this time. It was beyond bizarre but at least it was working in her favour this time, she wouldn’t complain about that and she soon found herself sitting up again and wiped the sweat off her brow. She felt rather refreshed, it felt oddly good to do this taijutsu stuff. One of her sisters shadow clones came up to her.
”Hey Yu-Yu, we’ve been thinking… how would you like to learn how to do one more thing before we go? We were thinking of teaching you the art of evasion, does that sound alright to you? A genjutsuist is far more formidable if she can’t be hit, right?”
Yuzuki pondered over this for a moment before she looked over at the clones and nodded her head in agreement. ”Yeah, I think I would like that, thanks.”
”Alright then, we’ll give you some basics first: Everyone has a dominant hand and leg that they use without thinking about it. They also have patterns to their attacks and moves that could give them way. Humans are creatures of habit, so once you pick up on this and learn how to read body language properly you will be able to predict the movement of you opponents and be able to respond accordingly. Keep in mind though, higher ranking ninja work on masking these quirks and patterns, so you’ll have to work at finding them. Now, we’re going to attack you and you’ll have to learn our attack patterns and try and predict our movements based on our body language. Got it?” Yuzuki took in what her sister said and then nodded after she stood up. She flicked her wrists a few times and snapped them back into their defensive rest, lying parallel with her forearms. She wouldn’t need them, at least not yet. She straightened herself up and took a defensive stance, she then turned her full attention towards the clones who were standing beside each other one moment, then in a blink of an eye they had disappeared from sight, Yuzuki panicked for a moment and looked around to try and spot them, she noticed a shadow on the ground and looked up to see her sister coming down, and hard. She meant business, and Yuzuki realized that this wasn’t as simple as merely a sisterly spare like last time. She was getting the tough love treatment from her sister in hopes that she would learn faster. Yuzuki jumped off to the side and became focused hard on the clone that was in front of her, the dust that was kicked up in the attack forced Yuzuki to close her left eye. A painful impact on her left side threw her a fair distance in an uncontrolled roll until she was able to right herself.
”What are you doing, Yuzuki?! Never. NEVER close your eyes in battle. Keep them on me predict my movement and if catch you with your eyes closed again it I won’t pull my punch like I did that last attack.” Yuzuki could feel sweat bead her brow again, though this time it was from a cold sweat… her sister meant business. Yuzuki was actually starting to worry about this, she knew Noriko wouldn’t kill her but she had been sent to the hospital a few times because of her attacks. Yuzuki took her words with some serious weight to them and kept her eyes open the rest of the training, though she was having a hard time focusing on which of her sisters to actively keep her eye on. When she focused on one, the other one would lash out and distract her, while the one she originally kept her eyes on would take advantage of the distraction. Yuzuki was getting pounded, there was no question about that, but slowly, ever so slowly she was learning how to concentrate better in combat, she was starting to open her other senses to aid her when she kept her eye on one of the clones. Her blind fighting was allowing her to keep her wits about her despite the disadvantage she had fighting two people. With more and more time she spent on this, she was starting to understand and unravel the twitches of the body that gave away what her sisters clones were going to do next. She was also starting to get a glimpse into the attack patterns that they were talking about earlier, the tag-teaming was a part of their strategy as she was using hit and run tactics. When one came in, the first attack was a bluff, it was only a means of distraction unless she left herself mindlessly open like she did when she closed her eye, when Yuzuki would go to block she would get flanked by the other clone. Using this knowledge she was starting to move out of the way of more and more attacks, the twins mixed it up and Yuzuki was able to counter them slowly and steadly. Less attacks were getting through and more counters were being placed by Yuzuki, though the clones themselves were able to read Yuzuki like an open book, they still played along to bring down their level of skill to that of Yuzuki’s though keep it up a notch so their heterochromia eyed sister wouldn’t get cocky. After what seemed like days, though was probably only a few hours, the sisters came to a stop and let Yuzuki relax enough to fall to her knees in exhaustion. She didn’t do too bad, not too bad at all for her first time, she still had a long ways to go with it but she was at least learning with some level of progress.
”Not too shabby, Yu-Yu, you have a ways to go yet, but keep practicing and you’ll get there in no time. Just remember to keep your eyes on the target and use youf other senses too. We can’t hold out much longer. Why don’t you get some rest?”And with that they were gone in a large cloud of smoke. Yuzuki propped herself up against a rock and relaxed. She felt exhausted and more than a little beat up. It was nothing major but her sisters clones were true to her word and made sure that she learned quickly through pain. She opened her eyes and let them fall downwards though… she still had so much to learn, it took her all afternoon to get the basics of that evasion skill down, her sisters were able to get it down in a few hours and then improve upon it. Yuzuki bowed her head, still… they complimented her on her abilities and the fact that she did pick up on it. It… felt good to get praise from her older sister, even if they were clones and the praise was nothing more than a verbal pat on the head. She’d take it… it was better than she usually got… Thoughts: My older sister is... kinda cool. >w< Feelings: Tired Theme music: Zen Killer ((Evasion: 1000/1000 C-rank acquired.))

As was her style, one moment neither of the girls would notice anyone around and the next, Tsuchia was there, watching her student train diligently. She remained back as she watched Yuzuki work on her taijutsu. When she decided to take a break she stepped forward. "Well I see one of you is up and moving again. How are you feeling?"As she approached, it could be easily deduced that Tsuchia was back in her element. There would be a definitely change in her every movement from before when the group had returned from Yuzuki's rescue.

Yuzuki was on the ground and breathing hard, her body was covered in bruises and scratches from her bouts with Taijutsu. Yuzuki forced her eye open and looked over at her sensei with a strained, tired smile. She was debating on whether or not she should let her teacher know about the strange ebbs and flows in her chakra and opened her mouth to say something, but closed it shortly after. She didn’t want to be thought of as the weakest link, not after that kidnapping incident. It was bad enough she was captured so easily, but then to have her other team mates of all people have to come and rescue her. It was embarrassing to say the least. Still she answered her sensei’s questions.
”I’m doing alright, when I woke up this morning anyway… can’t say as I feel 100% after my sister helped me with taijutsu though…” Yuzuki gave a little chuckle though she stayed put on the ground and tried to let the fire that seemed to in her muscles die down a bit before she got up and took on the world again. Yuzuki placed her head back against the rock she was leaning on. She rolled her head softly to the side to look at her teacher. She smiled a little bit.
”So… Lady Tsuchia… I have to admit that was a bit of a surprise. Are you a… head of your clan or something?” Yuzuki was genuinely curious about their teacher. Part of her wanted to continue training but her body had other ideas for the time being. She was already starting to feel a little bit better though. ”What brings you out this early Lady… you know what. The Lady title doesn’t suit you well, can I just go back to calling you Tsuchia-sensei?”
Yuzuki tried to animate the conversation with small talk to try and get a better feel for her teacher, eventually she was able to pull herself up and sit on the rock that she was originally laying against. Yuzuki looked up at the sky and various things started to go through her head. After the small talk died down a bit she looked over at Tsuchia.
”Hey Sensei… is that mission still available, you know that one we were going to before the attack? Do you think we could go and try it again, this time without the attack calling us back?” Yuzuki hated to think that she was going to be the damn damsel in distress out of everyone in the group. She wanted to make up for that embarrassing display yesterday, though she had a feeling that it would forever be a rather nasty stain on her record. It would probably take a hell of a lot of hard work in order to remove it. She sighed, she knew this was going to be a long, hard struggle…

Tsuchia sat down on a rock next to Yuzuki and sighed, frowning, as if her lineage was a pain on her back. "Well I don't like to flaunt it, and it seems you three being genin don't know just yet, but I am the Raikage's sister. For some strange reason that gives me a title and importance and everyone calls me "Lady Tsuchia"." She shook her head slowly. "Unfortunately you have met my family and no doubt discovered his wonderful personality around women. I seem to be the only one immune to that treatment, but it is rather a pain when others don't like you because of your sibling's actions." The woman rubbed the bridge of her nose and took a deep breath. She smiled when Yuzuki asked to go back to calling her sensei. "That would be appreciated. The more I don't hear that title the better." She raised an eyebrow when Yuzuki asked about the mission from before. She waved her hand in a shooing motion quickly. "Don't worry about that. Someone else already settled it. I don't want any of you getting hurt when your all still getting back on your feet. That mission to rescue you was tough on Kori and Yuichi too, not just you so don't go thinking I held you all back for your sake alone." Tsuchia looked rather serious about this fact. In truth, she was concerned for all of them. She had seen Yuichi's conflicting thoughts behind his eyes, Kori's obvious tears and worry for her friend, and of course the multitude of things Yuzuki had about her when she had returned. She wanted none of them hurt or injured and she was willing to lay her life on the line to make sure they continued to grow.

Yuzuki paused for a moment and sighed. ”Darn, I was hoping to get some experience under my belt but it looks like we have to wait a while huh?” her teachers words were of cold comfort to Yuzuki, though they were very much appreciated none the less. Yuzuki looked over at Tsuchia with a sad smile. ”I… know exactly what it’s like to have people judge you because of your siblings… I come from a family of genius and medical progenies. Hell, my grandfather was the Iron Giant of the hidden clouds so when I was born people expected me to be another gear in the grind so to speak. Instead… they got a failure of a child who struggles to get a grip on even the most basic things. I’m always compared to my sister… it got even worse when my little sister surpassed me in abilities. I was just… pushed off to the side, the only person who actually made time for me on a regular basis was Paw-paw. So… I do know how you feel, trust me.” Yuzuki’s eyes had raised upwards to the sky for a moment while she remembered her past, all the hurt and the suffering because she wasn’t like everyone else in the family. It felt lonely at times, she imagined that Tsuchia was lonely too, in her own way. Yuzuki may not have understood exactly was it was like to be given a title and to have a perv as a brother…
Yuzuki snickered. ”You poor thing, being siblings with that pervert… you can borrow some of my siblings for a while if you want, I’m sure mom would love to have another daughter running around the house.” Though she was only joking about it, Yuzuki knew that her mom would be all over the idea of having someone else to cook and care for, not that much would have changed food wise if that was to happen…
”With no mission though, what are we going to do with the rest of our time? I can’t just sit around I get all fidgety~!” Yuzuki whined a little while flailing her arms and legs around a little, if there was one thing she hated it was having nothing to do and sitting on her thumbs. She was so hoping for a mission or something. She looked over at Tsuchia with a pouty expression, hoping to use her charms to get something to do so she didn’t go stir crazy.
