Learning plan

After asking his questions Yashiro reached behind his back with his right hand and soon took out a food pill and handing it to Inei. "Eat this before we talk, Its just a food pill, should give you back some energy, we will get some real food in the morning."

Inei slowly chewed the pill and swallowed it before she started narrating her story. "My name is Inei Sendo. My grandmother is the only Uzumaki i ever heard of.

About 2 years ago, the village I lived in with my mother and grandmother was attacked by a group of shinobi. I did not recognize where they came from, but their headbands had three wavy vertical lines. They killed most of the villagers and tried to take me and my mother away. When grandmother saw it she tried to keep them away from me and my mother. She did not know how to fight, but before they could hurt her, same chains as mine, came out of her body and killed 3 of their shinobi. Seeing this, the attacking shinobi surrounded my grandmother and soon killed her. Once my grandmother was dead, they killed my mother. Trying to protect my mother, same thing happened to me, that was the first time i used those chains, but I passed out before i could protect my mother. When i woke up i was bound and on a ship. That's how I arrived to an auction house where I was bought by a group from Amegakure.

Once we arrived to Amegakure they sent me to orphanage and I was forced to join the academy. After a year in academy one of the teacher gave me the scroll with the technique I tried to use with the monster."

"I see, and how old are you now Inei Uzumaki?" Yashiro inquired. "5 and a half years old. And why do you keep calling me Uzumaki?" "Thats because you are and Uzumaki, whether you want it or not. It's in your blood and you have to accept it. Since you survived what should kill you, why not start your life anew now? If you think you can handle some strict and hard training you can make a fine kunoichi.". Inei's eyes shone with excitement fir a moment, but soon turned dim once again when she reached towards her right shoulder with left hand.

For some reason she trusted Yashiro, she was not sure of the reason, but instinct in her told her that he was a good person. Still, seeing how she has lost her dominant arm she did not dare to accept his offer.

Seeing her uncertainty Yashiro smiled "It's not as big of a deal as you think. But first I would like to know how did you protect yourself when the tailed beast rammed into you."

"I'm not very good at controlling my chains once they are further away form my body, but i somewhat mastered them in my close proximity. The technique I was training for uses those same chains to first establish a very strong barrier, so at the moment the beast was about to ram into me, I created barrier around my body. But then I stumbled on the ground when turning around and when I tried to keep my balance i reached out with my right arm."

"And you weren't affraid?" Yashiro dug further. "Of course I was, but fear couldn't help me. When my mother died I couldn't help her because I was scared. This time I chose to react despite all the fear I felt."

"Splendid, seems like you are a sharp one.". "From what I heard I'm sure I can make a fine kunoichi out of you. So, how about it, do you want to learn how to protect yourself and all those around you? Are you willing to work hard?"

At that moment Inei's eyes lit up with confidence and desire to become strong "I will do my best, but how can I use any technique without... signs?".

"Well, what do you think signs are used for? Yashiro jumped in. "Aren't they used to direct chakra for technique?" Inei looked unsure.

"Almost correct. The key word is "control". Signs are used to help you control chakra. The better your chakra control, the less signs it takes. With good chakra control you can preform some techniques without waving signs at all or just greatly cut down the number of required signs. It was said that 2nd Hokage was able to preform Water dragon bullet technique with only one hand sing, but the technique itself requires 44 hand signs to preform."

Hearing this Inei's eyes shone with admiration and a great desire to surpass a figure like that. But there was still a predicament of her missing arm, so Inei did not dare to lift her hopes up just yet.

Noticing Inei forcibly pushing down her growing excitement Yashiro guessed what she was thinking about and started talking once more. "Don't worry too much about your missing arm, You can preform seals with one hand. Learning the signs will be a lot easier than learning perfect chakra control, but if you are willing to do it I will guide you until you master it."

"Is there anything I can start with while we are still staying around here?" Inei finally let herself be excited about everything she will learn and was eager to start as soon as possible.

"It's good to be excited, but until you heal up there's not much you can do. We should be done with this cave in another 3-4 days, so in this time you focus on your healing, we will start with your training once we come back to Konoha and you visit the hospital for a check up. Once you got a green light we can start.

Don't worry your head too much for now, I already have your learning plan in mind."
