Chihiro would like to continue to work on sword fighting.

Sealing, perhaps.

Hm, Hisame really enjoys knife fighting - she'd like to get better at it, but also at elemental manipulation. Get a wider variety of options.

"I might have to outsource sealing past the basics, but I can get you started on that, Elieyha. And you all have a good, realistic idea of what you want and can do. How much chakra training do you guys have already, beyond the Academy basics?"

"Basic elemental manipulation."

"More knife fighting than standard and fire manipulation up to some of the more basic C-rank techniques."

"Tree and water walking."

"I'll want you to help get your teammates caught up on that early, then. It's a good foundation for chakra control."

"Understood."

"Now's not actually a bad time to work on it, if you girls are ready."

"Definitely!"

"Sure."

She explains the basics of tree walking, then, and sets them to practicing, telling Chihiro to keep an eye on her teammates and give advice if she sees one struggling.

She will do so.

Elieyha seems to not be having too much trouble.

Hisame on the other hand keeps using far too much chakra.

"You are using too much chakra," Chihiro says the next time she pushes herself off the tree.

"Alright. What's the right amount?"

"Very little. Just enough to stick without hindering yourself."

She tests a tiny amount - apparently too little at first.

She can work slowly up to it, then.

She needs to work a good bit on it, but - "Thanks."

Blink.

"You are welcome."

"Know anything interesting to do with this?"

"The same principle applies to all surfaces. It is useful for infiltration."
