The day was young, the dew had not yet burned from the grass and all Yuii wanted to do was run back to the forest edge and find a peaceful place to pass the day. It would rain later in the day, and like most days they would never see the blue of the sky, but any day without a blanket of snow and the bite of winter was a good day to spend outside in good company. Unfortunately, duty and politics had another agenda for the Main Branch Sennin.
The chigokai, ever last to catch wind of the machinations of the other two great clans, had become aware of the Sataru's play for power by requesting a notable teacher for one of their high potential students. Having missed out on the opportunity to place one of their own as Sennin, Chigokai already felt mildly offended, so the clan was quick to react with a request of their own. It was thus that Yuii was met with a photo of a young genin female along with the demand that she, no one else, teach their protege.
To say Yuii was displeased would be an understatement. The last thing she wanted, even with all the recent joy in her life, was to be reminded of her failures surrounding the Chigokai clan.
Unfortunately, offending her sister clan was not an option that day and so Yuii sent a time and place via messenger cat and consoled herself with the fact that at least she could hold a lesson outside. As an afterthought, she sent a second cat for Kikei. She could knock out two birds, as the saying went. Hopefully this time her lesson wouldn't end in projectile vomit and a trip to the hospital.
When they arrived, Yuii would be perched on a rock much like Kikei would remember her being in their first lesson. Behind her would be the doorway to the jewel of Kumogakure, the greenhouse which housed most of the rare and exotic plants their people had collected and been gifted from around the world. The contents were precious and valued far beyond any treasure in the Shogun or Raikage's keep. Which was exactly why this was their meeting place and not the subject of their tutor.
Yuii would finish the sweet bun she had been savouring in one final bite and lick her fingers clean at their approach. "Good afternoon ladies," she chirped happily, betraying non of her annoyance over the day, "I don't suppose you've magically grown past your problems, snowflake? As you can see, you've lost 50% of my attention from now on." She paused, giving the girls long enough to introduce themselves if they liked. Once they were done, the elder woman would hop to her feet and start off towards the forest.
"Who can name of the twelve main hand seals?" she asked, pulling a cookie from her sleeve and taking a nibble.
