"My primary error was in nearly forgetting the stated limitations on two separate occasions," Miyu answers calmly. "Beyond that, I am not certain."

"We've discussed this. You let me control the flow of the fight too much. You also hesitate far to much on attacking." Tatsumaru says.

He turns to face Taru.
"Same question Taru-san. What did you do wrong?"

"I left you several openings to exploit, and I was probably a bit too obvious with my strikes."

Taru shakes his head.

Stupid taijutsu...

Tatsumaru nods but then smiles.
They're a bit rough but they have the potential to be good. Just need more training

"But given that I took both of your greatest strengths away from you. I think you both did fairly well all things considered. Now the thing is to bring up those taijutsu skills of yours. Any suggestions off the top of your heads?" he asks.

"Honestly, Taijutsu isn't exactly my area of expertise. I can practice what I know, but since its really not an area I focus on I'm not really sure where to go from there. Probably work on my speed and technique so I don't leave so many openings I guess."

"You need to work on reading people too. But that's all stuff that's solved by more sparring."
Tatsumaru looks at Miyu.

"Miyu-san your thoughts?"

"I, too, am far from an expert in the area of taijutsu," Miyu admits. "It is my opinion that the areas in which I would most benefit from improvement would be endurance and skill."

"Again more sparring. But for now let's work on endurance until lunch"

Tatsumaru begins warming up.

"When you're ready we'll start running."

Miyu holds back a sigh. She despises running for the sake of running. Then again, that might be the reason for her lack of endurance in the first place.
Miyu follows Tatsumaru's example.

Taru readjusts the strap for his quiver and does some stretches, wincing when he pulls against his bruised chest.

"Ready when you are."

"Alright. This is going to work on both your speed, endurance and flexibility. Starting from here get to the base of the Hokage monument using no chakra. The caveat is that you must go in a straight line once past the gate. And you must not stop going forward at any time. Once you reach the top. You can knock off for Lunch. I'll be back here at one if anyone still wants to train. Remember no chakra." Tatsumaru says.

He gives them both a nod and starts at medium sprint.

Speed, Miyu reflects as she starts, she has. Endurance, though, she severely lacks.
Miyu takes up a slower pace than Tatsumaru, choosing to accept delay in the hopes of not running out her stamina too quickly.
