Peaceful days.

"Come on Yui I know you can do it!" Sakumo yelled to motivate Yui as she did squats, "299,300 you can stop!" He screamed and Yui fell hard to the ground breathing heavily.

"Sensei, I understand exercise and such but why do this with weights?" Yui yelled pointing to her arm, legs and torso where there were several plates with weight seals, the weight was so much that if Yui didn't use her breath steadily she wouldn't be able to move.

"What are you complaining about, I didn't even put on that much weight!" In a demonstration Sakumo grabbed the weight of Yui's torso and lifted her with one hand, "See, one-handed!" He said while giving a brilliant smile.

"Argh, so this is the aura of a social person with character!" Yui put her hands over her eyes trying to cover the light Sakumo emitted, "Well enough of your laziness and go back to training!" He said and forced Yui to get up and continue training.

They started their training regimen a few weeks ago, to be able to follow the training Sakumo himself started to bring more food to Yui making her decrease her family expenses and increase her nutrition.

What Sakumo didn't know was that Yui was a shrewd eater, of the 3 lunchboxes he brought for the two of them to eat, she ended up eating all 3 and even forced him to hunt for something else for her to fill.

That day he wondered where so much food would go in such a small body, and also Sakumo was forced to get Yui a new sword after she found out he had broken hers.

However Yui was a demanding customer in the purchase of the sword taking advantage of the fact that Sakumo has money she forced him to buy a blade to train and order one made to measure.

Yui's mother also noticed over time that her daughter was growing a little too fast and also that her thinness had almost disappeared and that Yui was refusing to eat dinner to have more for Aika who regained some fat with it. .

And when Aika questioned her where she was feeding Yui blatantly lied saying she was hunting which of course her mother noticed but didn't go deeper into the matter.

If Uncle Hiroki was assigned an outpost and would be there for a few months then there was no way he could find out about Sakumo, the weight training and exercises continued until late before Sakumo called her in for combat training.

"Alright, today you're limited to breathing the beast and the fog while you're blindfolded!" Sakumo said and blindfolded Yui and covered her ears with a cloth.

In order to make Yui's training efficient Sakumo asked what her Genkei kekkai was (Yui said to disguise it.) and how it could be used and after Yui briefly explained the breaths and how many shapes each one has Sakumo forced her to show all of the he.

"My only question is how she learned these forms." Sakumo said mentally after listening to Yui's explanation but didn't follow through as she would probably just give an excuse that she learned it herself.

And with that he devised a training plan that could make Yui lift all breaths while still maintaining a hold on the water breath and flower as the center.

Returning to training, Yui felt her vision and hearing go dark after Sakumo covered them and she was quiet trying to assimilate the new sensation for a few seconds before taking a deep breath, "Seventh prey: KUKAN SHIKIKAKU!"

With a small tingling sensation Yui's touch was enhanced to a ridiculous level and she began to briefly feel the vibrations in the air, she focused on maintaining that state before changing her breath without dispersing the technique.

Sakumo seeing that Yui was ready started circling around her running trying to disorient her, Yui who started to feel various vibrations from the air around her positioned the sword back to the scabbard and lowered her body.

At that moment Sakumo threw several shuriken towards her, at that moment Yui released the air that formed a dense mist that covered her surroundings, "Mist breath: Third form: Kasan no shibuki!".

Her sword also started to emanate a mist and Yui spun it in a circular fashion around her causing the shurikens to be dragged by the sword mist and thrown back at Sakumo who smiled slightly before dispatching the shurikens with his sword.

Clank! Clank!

The shuriken fell to the ground and Sakumo stopped running and looked at Yui expecting movement from her which she soon did, as if Yui had no weight she disappeared from her original position barely making a sound and moved towards Sakumo.

"Breath of the second form mist: Yaekasumi!" Yui slashed eight mist bars over each other quickly towards Sakumo who swung his Chakra covered sword and cut the mist bars easily.

Yui wasted no time putting his sword in its scabbard and executing another form, "Breath of the mist fourth form: Iryūgiri!" The moment she drew her sword again there was an explosion of fog that was meant to divert Sakumo's attention as the real blow came after.

But of course such a cheap trick wouldn't work on him and he blocked Yui's blade, (Ting!) A loud metal sound was heard and caused Yui to lose concentration for a moment causing her to lose her enhanced tact and that's the sense of balance.

Bash!

" Ahh!" Yui cried when she hit the ground and Sakumo laughed at her misfortune, so the training days continued.
