Poisoned Water Through Time

New Training/changes

It had been a day since Shinobu Discussed Her plan to Take down her sister's Eventual Killer, And were ready to begin their Training.

Just outside the backyard of the Butterfly estate Shinobu, her Nee-san and Gyomei stood Ready to begin training.

"So how will this work exactly?" Kanae Asked her younger sister, ready to begin the training.

"Well, Given what I experienced against Uppermoon 2 the best form of training would be Endurance, Agility and Speed." Shinobu Answered back. "Douma's Blood art can only move so fast, as long as we can React and dodge them, we'll be in the clear." Shinobu explained further.

"I see." Kanae noted.

"I assume Endurance and stamina training would be a huge help on the off chance we are damaged by Upper 2's Blood art, correct?" Gyomei asked.

"Yes, not to mention the fact we can't breathe the air around Douma, due to his blood-art freezing the air enough to freeze your lungs if you inhale it."

"Good to know." Gyomei responded back.

"Alright now that the important information is out of the way," Kanae began to stretch, "what training would we do?"

Shinobu smirked, "It's simple, you'll have to Catch me." She answered as she vanished from their sigh at breakneck speeds.

Kanae and Gyomei were caught off guard by the speed shinobu displayed, as they both looked left to right frantically trying to find The Former insect pillar.

They both looked around the yard before spotting her leaning against a wall.

"Such speed!" The duo simultaneously thought as they prepared to lunge at shinobu from opposite sides.

"Just a fair warning. I won't be holding back.~" Shinobu smiled, her iconic smile she had before she traveled to the past. "So get r-" Shinobu didn't get time to finish her sentence as Gyomei raced to tag her with Kanae following suit.

Unfortunately their attempt didn't catch Her in time.

The Trio zigged and zagged, they bounced and weaved in between the large tree and multiple clothes lines in the yard. Almost like a game of tag, except that they were so fast that no normal human could see their movements.

Shinobu was the 4th fastest runner amongst the hashira, but now she was certain she's possibly the second fastest now, which explains why it wasn't of too much consequence with all the obstacles and the confined space, in fact it actually gave her an advantage. Instead of raw speed they would also need good agility if you wished to catch her. That was the whole point of the training.

…

"Do you give up?" Shinobu asked as she avoided a pile of crates and ducked underneath a tree branch, her hands crossed.

"Not yet!" Gyomei said he was actually having a bit of fun with the training. But truth be told it was a little concerning that Shinobu was this fast, it almost didn't feel like they weren't trying to catch up to a human.

Her speed felt almost demon-like.

They spend a good 4 hours at this with Kanae eventually conceding due to stamina loss, and Gyomei still going strong, attempting to Catch shinobu while she ducks and weaves around the trees.

"Seems you still got some fight left inside you Gyomei-san." Shinobu teased as she continued to avoid the trees and their branches.

Gyomei was still not even close to catching Shinobu. Everytime he got close shinobu would just crank up the speed, completely blitzing Gyomei. "Is she even human?" Gyomei asked himself as he began to see the gap in speed and agility they had.
