As Mizuko traveled to her destination, she now wondered why everyone could take off her mask except her. Was she special? Why could she tell no one else her identity? She finally asked Kishi to sate her unending hunger for answers.

"Kishi-sama.... why can I never take off my mask or tell no one my name?" Mizuko questioned.

"Well.. Mizu... it's a little more complicated than that. Since you're so young, we tell you to never take off your mask or tell anyone your name. But, in reality, you can take off your mask in the hideout and tell your name to people in the hideout. Never take off your mask outside of the base. Although.." Kishi realized "I don't think it would make much of a difference considering no one would know who you were in the first place, but this is Danzo's orders. It will become very important once you start missions." Kishi finished. 

Mizuko understood now. Even as a five-year-old, her in-school training let her understand these types of things.
Kishi's training also involved schoolwork, since she herself was not finished yet. Mizu often joined her in these sessions, due to the fact that normally you have to be much older to join the Anbu and there was no specific class for her.

After a long walk towards the clearing, they finally arrived. Kishi turned around and waited for Mizu to do the same. Mizu slowly turned around to face the beautiful clearing. Trees surrounded it on all sides and a magnificent waterfall was positioned perfectly in the middle. Mizu was amazed by all the beautiful nature around her, considering she had not seen it in years.

"Now," Kishi started "Watch me very closely, Mizu. You will see chakra gather around my feet." Kishi focuses all of her Chakra onto her feet and a blue glowing aura appears. She then proceeds to dash up the tree vertically, then sits on a branch. "You won't be able to do this first try, Mizu, since you have never tried anything involving chakra control, but I bet over the next couple of weeks you will learn." Kishi now explained to her the process of harnessing chakra. "Mizu, the first step you need to take is drawing your focus. Focus all of your energy towards your feet, and feel the chakra pulsating through them."

Mizu closed her eyes and tried to imagine the image of what chakra was in her head. She visualized a blue, compact ball in the middle of her chest. Then, she tried moving all of that chakra slowly down to her feet. She felt the chakra itself moving and felt the aura inside of her, but she saw no aura around her actual feet. Mizu was slightly frustrated.

"Don't be upset Mizu, I know you'll get it down eventually, just keep practicing, and if you need any help, you can always ask me any que-" Suddenly, Kishi got an order. She was immediately called back to the hideout. "But right now, sir? I can't leave Mizu all alone! What if she wanders off?" The voice on the other end responded with something along the lines of "She'll be fine, just tell her to stay where she is or something bad will happen to her. She's an obedient kid, right? Trust me on this one." Kishi slowly nodded her head and went up to Mizu.

"Mizu, I have to go on a mission right now, but don't go ANYWHERE or else something really bad will happen to you. Promise me you won't go anywhere?" Kishi held out her pinky for Mizu to enlock with.

"I promise, Kishi-sama!" Mizu held out her pinky and they both intertwined. Kishi then ran back to the hideout, looking back at Mizu whenever she could on the way.

Mizu sat down by the nearest tree and contemplated how to continue her training.

"...How should I do this?... Kishi just said to imagine the chakra coming into your feet... so I just try to force the feeling into my feet?" Mizuko stood up again and walked to the middle of the clearing. Mizu closed her eyes and imagined the feeling of chakra flooding into her feet once again.

"Mmmmmmm-" She suddenly began trying to hum as a way for compensating for the lost chakra when she heard something bolting towards the bushes she was training near. Mizu lost focus and panicked. She ran to the first thing she could find, which happened to be a tree, and then proceeded to bolt behind it.
