Everyone was wondering where they were. Sasuke and Yukari just told them that they were out practicing. They all had breakfast and went outside to train. "We're going to climb trees today." said Kakashi. "Climb trees? How is that training?" asked Naruto. "You can only use your feet." said Kakashi going over to a tree and walking up it just with his feet. Everybody's jaw dropped excepted for Yukari's. She had done that but that was when she actually had her power. It is going to be harder this time around. "How did you do that?" asked Sakura "He put some chakra to his feet making him stick to the tree." said Yukari. "Very good, Yukari. How did you know that?" asked Kakashi. "I have done it before but I was much younger." said Yukari. "Well then let's get started." said Kakashi. He threw down four kunai knifes. "Get started." said Kakashi. With that he sat down on the tree. Everyone picked up a kunai knife and went to a tree. Yukari tried to focus all her chakra to her feet. Sakura was the first to get done. Yukari, Naruto, and Sasuke took a little longer. Sakura got bored and went to the bridge to protect Tazuna if anything happened.
It was late at night. "We should head back to the house." said Sasuke. "You can, I'm not." said Yukari. "You'll die if you keep this up." said Sasuke. "I can't die until I'm 14 and don't find my heart." said Yukari. Sasuke kept trying to convince Yukari. "I won't and that's it but you can go back if you want." said Yukari. "Fine I will." said Sasuke. He went off down the path to the house. Yukari went back to training. She was getting closer to the top.
Yukari woke up to find Sasuke standing over her. "I told you you were over doing it." said Sasuke now sitting next to her. "I'm just fine. I don't need your help." said Yukari now sitting up. "Everybody's wondering want happen to you." said Sasuke "I need more practice. I need to put all my chakra to my feet." said Yukari. "Can't you just stop a moment? You're going to pass out again." said Sasuke "If I pass out then I will just pass. It can't be helped." said Yukari. "If you rest for a while then it just may help." said Sasuke. Yukari really wasn't listening. It was the same lecture he gave her last night. "Yeah yeah whatever. I'll be just fine. No need to worry." said Yukari starting up the tree. "I am not worrying." said Sasuke in protest. "Yes you are!" said Yukari. With that she fell off the tree hitting her head on a breach on the way down. Sasuke ran over to her. "Are you ok?" he asked her. "I'm fine. It doesn't hurt." she replied. She got up and started to focus her chakra to her feet once again. She went the tree about mid way and fell. She kept practicing all morning.
Later Naruto came to practice with her and Sasuke. "I'm so hungry!" said Naruto "Then go back to the house and get something to eat." said Yukari going up the tree again. "You haven't had anything to eat since yesterday morning." said Naruto "The animals have been bringing food to me every now and then." said Yukari. Naruto walked off to go get some food and Yukari went back to training. She was about ¾ the way up the tree. She was making good progress. It's only been about three days and she's ¾ the way done.
Yukari! Yukari! We brought some more food for you. You must be hungry. said the squirrel. Yukari sat down on the ground and received the nuts and berries the squirrels offered her. She ate the food while she let her body rest. Sasuke came over and she offered him the food. "I'm going to go practice so more." said when she was done with the food. She started up the tree almost making it to the top. She kept it for another two hours. "I need to let my body rest." she said out loud. She wasn't tried but her body was. She would need to rest it. She sat there for an hour talking to her animal friends. She said good-bye to them when the went off to go get some more food for they were hungry. Yukari got up and dusted herself off. She walked over to the tree and started up it. This time she made it to the top. She walked back down and started up again. She did it again and again. Someone clapped behind her. She turned around to see the boy from earlier. Haku was his name, wasn't it? "Good job, Yukari." said Haku. "What brings you here?" asked Yukari. "I was just passing by. I never knew you were a ninja. Isn't it dangerous?" asked Haku with awe in his voice. "It depends on what mission you go on." said Yukari. "Very interesting! I would like to learn more." said Haku. "I can't talk right now. I have to get back to the house. I'll tell you more when we meet again." said Yukari. They said their good-byes and went on their way.
Yukari walked through the door. "I thought you died." said Sakura. "No, but I can make it to the top." said Yukari. "That's good to hear." said Kakashi. "I going to go take a bath." said Yukari. She really needed a bath and a good night sleep. She went to her room to get her P.J.'s. They were a tank top and shorts. It had her clan's symbol a crescent moon in the middle of her tank top. It had a lace like design on the bottom of the pants. She grabbed them and went to the bathroom. She turned on the water. She got undressed. "I'll have to wash these. They're a mess." she said holding her training clothes away from her. She dropped the clothes on the floor and went over and turned off the water. She got in. She dunked her head under the water and came back up. "This feels so good." said with a sigh sitting back in the tub. She took the bar of soap and washed thoroughly. She washed her hair and rinsed. She got out. She took the towel and dried off. She picked up her P.J.'s and put them on. She was glad to be clean. She picked up her dirty clothes and went back to her room. She went over to her bed and lied down. As soon as her head touched the pillow she fell asleep.
Yukari woke up. She thought it was morning but it was mid afternoon. She got up and opened her blinds to permit the sunlight to come in. She went to her closet. She picked out another outfit. Just in case she got attacked or something. She picked out another training outfit. It showed some of her belly. It was long sleeves with a tank top over ii that had a strip design. Her short were long yet didn't touch her shoes. She got undress and redressed.
She went down stairs. "You're finally awake. You slept most of the day. It's almost night." said Sakura. "She has been practicing 3 days straight. I haven't seen you out there doing that." said Sasuke. "What is up with you? You haven't been the same since she joined the team." said Sakura pointing to Yukari. "You can argue all you want but it does no good." said Yukari going towards the door. She walked outside. She didn't want to be involved in the fight.
