The clone sighed and put his weapon away in the seal on his wrist, using a few strands of chakra to collect the used shurikens from the ground.
- You may have lasted longer this time than last time, but you still have work to do," he shook his head, "and your team coordination is lame, if you had acted in a more coordinated manner, the result would have been a couple minutes better.
- Yes, Hiroshi-san," the shinobi in chunin vests bowed their heads.
Dark-haired and black-eyed young men in their twenties, they were typical Fire Nation types, but they did not carry the village attribute of hitai-te.
- Daisuke, you noticed that your partner was hurt by it, but you didn't take it into account, otherwise he would have recovered from my shot in just a moment, because I didn't use it at full power.

- Takeshi, when you see an opponent using a sword and it's not a genin, half of the time the opponent can use chakra, often elemental chakra, In this case, a simple kunai without chakra protection will be no harder to cut than a piece of paper, not to mention the elemental chakra's accompanying properties.

- I hope you go heal up now, and practice these points afterwards," the clone ordered his subordinates, "we'll have another fight tomorrow.
- Hai! Thank you for teaching me, sensei," the shinobi bowed briefly and turned around and headed out of the training ground to the room of the squad's regular iryonin, who was always present at every training session.

- You want too much from shinobi who didn't train at the shinobi academy in the villages, but in small families," shrugged a massive man who looked more like a bear on the prowl.
Dressed in a simple, open-chested haori and dark baggy pants, supported by a sword sling at his belt, he had no shinobi insignia, but he made a dangerous opponent with the predatory grace of a seasoned warrior.
