-Yuki POV-

"Bye bye.." I waved to Minato and Kushina as I left the house for Training Ground 3. I'm early, actually, it's only 7.30am, and Tsunade wanted to meet me at 8am. This is because I think that I need training on my taijutsu, it's been so long since I've actually fought someone, and I definitely need to brush up on my skills.

I hummed a random song as I jogged to the training grounds. I got Minato to teach me the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu yesterday night, because I think that that jutsu is awesome. Just imagine. Loads of me charging at the enemy. It'll be damn cool. But that is the only jutsu I learned, though. Stingy Minato didn't want to teach me more. I pouted slightly when I reached the training ground, and walked towards the three wooden stumps for a slight rest. Minato's house was far away from this training ground, and I jogged all the way. Kami, I really need to work out more.. I'll be a dead body by now if an enemy ninja decides to attack..

"Okay.. Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" I made two bunshins and ordered them to attack me. It's been so long since I've 'exercised', I have to start simple. And Tsunade would probably make me do the same thing later, I need to get prepared. After around 20 minutes of bunshin fighting, a gust of wind blew suddenly from behind. Ah. Tsunade's here. I dodged it with ease, remembering that it would probably hurt like hell if I try to block it. I jumped to the side, dispersed my bunshins, and crouched on the ground, staring at the place where I once stood.

"Not bad, gaki." Tsunade straightened up and looked at me approvingly. I stood up and nodded, still keeping my distance. "Yuki, is it? To a medical ninja, attack power is only the second most important thing to have. Do you know why?" Tsunade asked me with a serious look. Oh boy. The same question as when she asked Sakura. This is gonna be easy.

"Hai.. Medical ninjas are supposed to support the team. Rather than attack, they should support their comrades in battle, so I believe that their ability to dodge the enemy's attack should come first." Tsunade looked disappointed when I started answering her question, but her eyes brightened up when I finished.

"Hoh.. And why is this so?" Tsunade asked me, seemingly interested in my answer.

"Nobody would be able to heal the team if the medical ninja dies from enemy attacks.." I looked at her when I said that, and she looked at me approvingly again.

"That's correct.. You pass. You know what you're going to do now?" Tsunade said and positioned herself in a fighting stance. I nodded and she charged at me, and I dodged. Her leg hit the ground, and bits of earth and dust flew up. I closed my eyes due to instinct, but forced them open immediately. Tsunade appeared in front of me, and I barely dodged her attack, putting my arms in front of my stomach where she punched. I skidded behind, but kept my eyes open nonetheless.

"Not bad for a rookie.. Most shinobi would just close their eyes, but you tried not to.. And nice job changing the area of attack to a place that would affect you the least.. And using chakra to boost your defence.. I'm starting to like you, kid." Tsunade smirked and charged at me again, not giving me time to catch my breath. I then made two bunshins again and switched places with them. At least Tsunade would take more time to find the real me now.. I've also took the extra effort to create charka coils for the bunshins, and I'm confident that even a Hyuuga wouldn't be able to spot the real one.

"Hoh.. Watch the enemy's movements closely, Yuki. Watch them before the attack, during the attack and after the attack! Don't let a single movement escape your eyes! If you're any kind of shinobi, you would have heard about this. People always have a dominant hand and leg, as well as individual ticks and habits. Which, when combined, reveal patterns in their movement. When someone becomes a Jonin or Chunin, they train in order to lessen those habits, so the enemy can't read their movements, but they can't be eliminated completely. At times you should be able to use them to see the enemy's weak spots."
