In the Muzikage office
The third Muzikage looked at Jozu with narrowed eyes; he was furious at Jozu; he then yelled at him, "Jozu, what the hell? I thought you and Fuguki were the most rational out of the seven ninja swordsmen. You have not only cracked the bones of Yukina's and Zabuza's arms, you also broke all of Yukina's ribs. You already started giving me a headache."
Jozu chuckled in embarrassment when he heard this. When the Third Muzikage heard him chuckling, he exploded in rage and yelled at Jozu again, "Do you think this is funny, Jozu? The girl is a 7-year-old child; she is even younger than Zabuza, and you beat the hell out of her. I asked you to train those brats, not beat them up."
Jozu raised his hands and said, "calm down, Muzikage sama I got carried away when I was training them because I got excited. It is my mistake. I am willing to receive any punishment from you."
The third Muzikage was surprised when he heard this, and he ordered Jozu, "Explain yourself."
Jozu nodded his head, and then he started explaining what happened in detail when he was training the fresh graduates on the lake.
The third Muzikage was surprised at first when he heard about Zabuza's and Yukina's performance.
He then gave a small, unnoticeable smile and asked Jozu, "Tell me, Jozu, how do you evaluate Yukina and Zabuza?"
Jozu looked seriously at the Muzikage and answered him truthfully, "Muzikage-sama, I only observed them for a short time, so I can't give you a detailed evaluation."
The third Muzikage nodded his head in understanding and said to Jozu, "That is fine, Jozu; go ahead."
Jozu nodded, and then he started reporting his evaluation of Yukina and Zabuza to the third Muzikage: "Both are talented, but the girl's talent is in a whole other league."
"To be honest, I've never seen anyone as talented as her."
The third Muzikage was surprised when he heard this, and he asked Jozu, "What makes you come up with this conclusion?"
Jozu looked seriously at the Muzikage and said, "At first I only gave a tip on how to walk on water to those brats; I didn't explain the method. The girl and Zabuza were able to walk on water on their first try but after a moment the girl grasped it completely, unlike Zabuza, who was walking on water clumsily."
The third Muzikage was surprised; he smiled and continued listening.
"They both have great battle instinct; however, the girl's battle instinct is on a whole other level. With more experience and training, she will become a force to be reckoned with; however, Zabuza needs to hone his battle instinct. I am sure his future is bright as a shinobi."
The third Muzikage nodded his head and he continued listening.
"Yukina girl had a clear head over her shoulders; she had a sense of strategy. She used Zabuza as a distraction to attack me from my blind spot."
After hearing this, the third Muzikage chuckled and said, "It seems my decision to let you train them in kenjutsu was the right decision."
Jozu was confused when he heard what the third Muzikage just said but the Muzikage waved his hand and said to Jozu, "You may leave now, Jozu but I want you to report to me about the performance and the improvement of these two kids on a regular basis."
Jozu nodded his head in understanding; he then bowed his head and left the Muzikage's office.

A week later
With the aid of the medical ninjas It took Yukina and Zabuza a whole week to fully heal from their injuries.
Right now the ninjutsu training session will be starting soon.
Yukina and Zabuza walked towards the training ground to attend the training session.
When Zabuza and Yukina arrived at the training ground, they saw a beautiful middle-aged kunnoichi running the training session; her name is Ema Terumi.
Ema had beautiful dark red hair, green eyes, fair skin, an elegant face, and a curvy feminine body.
She was wearing the standard Mist Village Jounin uniform.
Yukina noticed the fresh graduates were executing hand seal sequences; some of the students were producing a bubble of water, some were producing a fist-sized mud, and some were producing small-sized flames.
When Ema noticed Yukina and Zabuza's arrival, she walked to them and handed a blank square-shaped paper to each of them.
Zabuza was confused when he saw the paper and asked Ema, "What with the paper? Do you want our autograph"?
Yukina burst out in laughter when she heard this. Ema giggled too, then Ema said to Zabuza, "Maybe when you are older, little man."
Zabuza got annoyed when he heard this, but Ema ignored Zabuza and said, "You two listen carefully because you two were hospitalized; both of you are behind the other students, and I don't like to repeat myself so I will only explain once so you two better pay attention."
Both Yukina and Zabuza nodded their heads when they heard what Ema just said and Ema continued.
"Those papers are called chakra paper; they are used to know what chakra affinity shinobi have."
"Most shinobi had an affinity towards one of the basic elements except for those who inherited bloodlines or those who were born in one of the major shinobi clans."
Yukina was confused when she heard this. When Ema saw Yukina's confused expression, she gently said to her, "If you have a question, you can ask."
Yukina smiled when she heard this and asked Ema, "I know about chakra affinity and bloodlines but when I was in academy, they didn't mention that you can gain other affinity by being part of a ninja clan."
Ema nodded in understanding and she answered Yukina's question calmly, " In the academy you only learned the basics so it is normal that you don't know about this piece of information I will just give you an example so you can understand how things work with chakra I am from the Terumi clan; my clansmen had the chance to inherit either lava or boil release kekkei genkei."
"My little niece was lucky; she had inherited both kekkei genkei. As for me, I didn't inherit any kekkei genkei; I was born with water element affinity but because I am part of the Terumi clan, I had affinity to the fire element as well."
Yukina nodded her head in understanding when she heard this, then Zabuza asked Ema, "So if you have an affinity for an element, you can't execute jutsu of other elements?"
Ema shook her head and answered, "No, you are wrong, little man. You can execute other jutsu from other elements, but training, mastering, and honing a jutsu or element that you have an affinity towards is much easier than mastering a jutsu or element that you have no affinity towards."
Zabuza and Yukina nodded their heads in understanding, then Ema said, "Let me give you an example, little man: The third Hokage of Konoha mastered every basic element. The water element, the wind element, the fire element, the lightning element, and the earth element—he mastered them all."
Yukina and Zabuza widened their eyes in surprise, and Ema looked seriously at them and continued, "This feat that the Third Hokage did proved to us that if you worked hard, you could gain the same accomplishment."
Zabuza and Yukina nodded their heads seriously after hearing this.
Ema then instructed Yukina and Zabuza, "Now I want you to pour some chakra in the papers I just gave you so we can know what affinity you have."
After hearing Ema's instruction, Zabuza poured his chakra into the chakra paper and the chakra paper became. Moist.
Ema nodded her head after seeing Zabuza's paper reaction and she said to him, "You have a water affinity, little man."
Zabuza was annoyed but he nodded his head to Ema.
Yukina then started pouring her chakra into the paper; the paper was cut in half and became moist at the same time.
Ema and Zabuza were surprised when they saw this.
Ema then looked seriously at Yukina and asked, "Girl, which clan are you from?"
Yukina shrugged her shoulders and said, "No idea. I lived my whole life in the orphanage."
Ema nodded her head in understanding and said, "I understand. After the training session, I want you to go to the hospital to test your DNA. I suspect that you inherited the ice release kekkei genkei. I want you to confirm my suspicion."
Yukina nodded her head after hearing what Ema said.
Ema then looked at Zabuza and Yukina and said, "Now I want you to start doing the hand seals sequence that I will show you to try and produce water using your chakra.
Ema showed the hand seal sequence to Zabuza and Yukina.
After showing the hand seal sequence to Zabuza and Yukina, Zabuza struggled in executing the hand seal sequence; however, Yukina easily completed the hand seal sequence and produced a bubble of water from her palm.
The bubble of water was the size of an adult fist.
Ema was surprised at how fast Yukina was able to produce the water bubble. She then smiled and said to Yukina, "Good job, girl. Continue practicing this hand seal sequence and after memorizing this hand seal sequence, I want you to add other hand seals that you learn in the academy in the sequence I just showed you to try and control the water and give the water different shapes.
Yukina nodded her head and she started following Ema's instructions.
Ema then looked at Zabuza and said, "Little man, follow me. You have trouble forming hand seals. I'm going to train you properly in executing the hand seals."
Zabuza nodded; after hearing this, he then followed Ema to start training in executing the hand seals.
