With thirty minutes left of her shift, Miyako looked to Hitomi and spoke softly. "This is the last time so make sure you have your chakra level on the exact point you want it. I would like to see you cut beyond the skin without cutting through the skin. That is one of the grand things about this technique. You've proven that you could use it like a standard scalpel, now use it for that it is intended for." She said in a stern tone.

Nodding, Hitomi looked to the animal that had gone through her torture for the length of the eight hour day. She had to cut without cutting the outer layer. Alright. For the last time this day, she'd make the hand seals Tiger → Horse → Rabbit → Rat → Dog and hone the chakra that began to flow about her hands. Her focus was on the chakra and the animal. This was going to be her test.

As she neared the animal, she didn't focus on the outer skin, but she looked to the lung that was closest to the surface. She didn't see it with her eyes but she had looked to it through her mind as she imagined the organ that was there and how it was positioned. With the chakra flowing around her hand, she'd move to cut without cutting the skin. It was a focus that she hadn't really had to worry about before as she wouldn't know until she had looked inside to see if it happened. Once she had felt like she had made the cut, she dispursed the chakra from her hands and moved to look within the animal. To her amazement, she had indeed sliced the lung without cutting the skin or the ribs that had covered the organ. She hadn't even cut the muscle that covered over the rib cage.

She looked up to her mother and the smile that was on the young woman's face was priceless. She was happy and proud at the same time. This was something that she did. Miyako stood and looked to Hitomi. "Good. Now, we go home and you will continue this training at home. You will be cutting the vegetables for dinner tonight with that jutsu." Hitomi's shoulders slumped a bit as she took a deep breath. "Hai, Okasaan." She said softly as she followed her mother from the room and walked with her home.
