[I]Hanami[/i] - [b]Surrender?[[/B]

Like a twig beneath the strain of a heel, the Uchiha girl's morale and ability to fight similarly broke all at once. It was peculiar, honestly. A sharpened change from the arrogance the Jounin had seen not long before. Befuddling all the same, the pulse about her eyes faded to their normal pastel hue, and her arms folded guardedly as even still she stood upon the branch.

"Surrender so easily?" She inquired at first, still holding a puzzled expression. "I suppose the Hokage was right, your greatest weakness is one that requires much work. On your feet, [I]now[/I]."

Once the girl stood, Hanami nodded softly before waving her hand in a dismissive fashion. "Your Ninjutsu abilities at a basic level are fairly advanced. However, the most basic and critical of components, Taijutsu is where you desperately lack. Follow me."

As suddenly as she had appeared, Hanami leapt off the branch and landed silently on the ground below. After Yuri had also landed, the Hyuuga stretched ever lightly in the cool autumn breeze. 

"Alright then," She began to state first. "We've got a long way to go. Second lesson will be this: Without a sound body, one cannot possess a sound mind. Do you know what this means?"

Met with a clueless look at first, Hanami sighed in resignation. "If you cannot truly hone your body, you cannot truly master the Chakra you possess. Plain and simple. In order to master Ninjutsu, you must master Taijutsu. This is the second lesson. And it begins now."

Hanami took several steps distant of Yuri then, turning to face her with her right side, the Jounin's knees bent and her feet spread, while one arm extended forward smoothly so that the back of one palm faced the girl.

"Come, show me what they've taught you, if anything. And I will sharpen you from there. No Ninjutsu, no Bow. Just you."
