She only let the chakra vanish from her hands for a few moments before she again made the seals Tiger → Horse → Rabbit → Rat → Dog. These seals she’d have committed to memory soon enough. It was becoming easier to bring this chakra forward and have it coat over her hands in moving ripples of violet. This was the jutsu that she’d need to have down like she did for the healing powers of Mystic Palm. It was part of being a Medical Nin and she accepted it.

This time, she’d look to the cat and slice not only through the skin but she’d go a bit deeper into the muscle as well. She’d focus even more and try to control the chakra so she would be at the exact place that she wanted to cut.

‘Hitomi, don’t focus too much on this. You are only just starting to learn this technique. You have plenty of time to perfect it to the point of being exact. Don’t push it.” Miyako had said as she looked to her daughter and took a sip from her tea. Sighing softly, she knew that her mother was correct and moved her hand up to cut another place on the dead animal. Once more, the skin split and fell open but when she had done so, she had seen that she had cut too far and cut into the muscle. That wasn’t going to be a good thing. Taking another deep breath, she’d focus a bit on the length of the ‘blade’. Causing it to become smaller with the amount of chakra that she was pushing into it, she’d once more make a slice at the side of the animal. This time, she’d actually just cut the skin. She was happy with this. Standing up straight, she’d take a deep breath and let it out a bit. The chakra from her hands disappeared and she moved her fingers. Flexing them a bit, she’d sigh softly and look to her mother. Miyako only looked to her daughter with the soft gentleness of one that knows what she was going through having had to go through it herself.
