'What I need to start considering is how I plan to fight in the future.
My current tactics in fights currently are limited to trapping my enemies and then creating an advantageous terrain for myself, then using jutsus or taijutsu to adapt to their fighting style.
Although this is incredibly effective, it's a major drain on my chakra.
While I have the confidence to use this tactic when there is somebody ready to bail me out, when Hiramasu sensei leaves us alone, I need to find a lethal fighting style that doesn't eat up chakra so ferociously.
Of course I can stop using earth style to remove the chakra cost of those techniques, but in that case the fights will take longer forcing me to use more chakra on other jutsus as a replacement.'
After trying to think of a more efficient fighting style he could not help but sigh.
*Sigh
'I Guess I will need to learn how to use swords and chakra flow due to the relatively low cost of chakra flow which will improve the lethality of my strikes, and will improve my combat stamina.
Or I will need to rely on my teammates to create an advantageous position for us.
While the first one is the ideal choice I don't really have a couple of months laying around to learn chakra flow and sword.
So I will have to use the short term method of switching up the combat roles in the team.
I will speak about making Mujin a support tomorrow.
After Hiramasu leaves, I will spend some time learning how to use a sword and chakra flow from my clan mates.
That should be after we become Chunins so we should have a lot of time after that.'
After finalizing his plans, Yujiro started his late night training, and went to sleep after.
The next day after the collective team training, Yujiro went to pitch his new team roles to his teammates.
These roles would divide, Yujiro as the main close quarters fighter while being a ninjutsu attacker if necessary, while it would set up Mujin as the one to lay out the terrain of the battle, while being the secondary close quarters fighter.
And Hyori would be the main ninjutsu attacker while using Genjutsu and shuriken to restrict the enemies.
While it took some time of bargaining from Yujiro, the two of them at least agreed to try the configuration.
And while this would give them more structured roles, this would mean that the trio couldn't adapt if the enemy tried to force all of them to close quarters, after all every last one of them was quite proficient in ninjutsu, which would allow them to create distance, and with Hiramasu being their Jonin sensei.
Their taijutsu is not the weak link in the team.
Yujiro in addition to this, Yujiro managed to get a sparring session with a clan chunin every Wednesday.
When he finally managed to arrange this with the clan, he started to think about the reasons.
'Hmm, they suddenly agreed to the sparring sessions I have been trying to arrange for the past 3 months.
But why would they finally agree to it?'
After thinking for the reasons for a while he came to a conclusion.
'The number 1 reason is because I'm talented.
Otherwise they would not arrange this and would make me arrange my own sparring sessions like I have been doing with my 5 little followers.
But for the reason they finally agreed to it, it's probably because my physicality has finally reached the required level, even though my height is affected due to my age.
So the clan elders have agreed that it's worthwhile for my growth for me to start sparring with other clan members and because it will benefit the clan somehow.
I can think of a couple of methods but I'm not sure if all of them are correct.'
After getting a chance to spar weekly with chunins Yujiro always kept his training intensity at a minimum in Wednesday afternoon training, as a result like Yujiro had expected Hiramasu almost immediately noticed that fact.
When he finally inquired about it.
He finally learnt that he got sparring matches with his classmates on Wednesdays.
As a result Hiramasu gave Yujiro a sentence that froze him.
'You do realize that you could have just asked me to fight you at a level of a chunin?
And what would have been even better would have been that I could give you a wider range of combat tactics to fight against than your clan members.'
As a result, because he went easy on the training on Wednesdays, Hiramasu made Yujiro's life hell on Saturday training.
It got so bad that even Hyori and Mujin started to realize that Yujiro was training beyond his limits.
But like Satan Hiramasu was.
Instead of decreasing the intensity of the training, he deliberately asked one of his clan's medical ninjas to come to prevent injuries to the kid's body and to ensure that the training will not affect his future growth.
And because Hiramasu saw that his torture caused Yujiro's progress to skyrocket.
The Sunday hell turned into every day hell, and not only for Yujiro, even Hyori and Mujin were dragged into it.
While Hyori and Mujin were extremely mad at Yujiro, they stayed mad at him for exactly 3 days before they started to beg that Senja Ira not to come to their training sessions.
As a result she didn't come back for two days.
As a result The tortured trio thought that they were finally free from that child abuse.
But on the third day, their sensei gave them "good news".
"I have to inform you of good news, because your dedication to training, the medical ninjas of the Senju clan were so touched by your dedication that they have promised to fully support your training from now on, and are going to rotate a medical ninja for our every one of our training sessions."
When the trio heard that all of their faces went deathly pale.
And their thoughts started running.
'Where are the hell are the child activist, no fuck the child activist where are the human rights activists'
'Yujiro! You have doomed us all!' x2
