"All right lets get going!" Sumiyuri said as she popped her fingers. It was a new day and the weather was perfect. She had thought about it and wanted to work on the one she had already gotten in school so she had enough energy to perfect the other. First, the substitution jutsu. She knew it would be difficult without something being thrown at her to have the full effect. She rain towards a kicking dummy near the edge of the training grounds. She leaped in a tree where she placed a shuriken to fall on her when she runs and steps on the wire connected. She hoped this worked. Ryou her elder brother came over and saw what she was doing. "Why are you doing that? You could get killed you know." he paused when she looked questionable at him. He continued, "Mom told me you were trying this by yourself and I had some free time. Can I help?" he asked taking a bite of his dumplings. She nodded and smiled as she walked over to him. She looked to see what he could do to make it more realistic.
Without hesitating she took his final dumpling off the stick and started running. Doing a double take, he yelled "Sumi come on, I have been looking forward to that all day!" He started chasing her. "If you can get me to do this I will buy you 6 more!" she said as she looked back. He smiled and aimed the stick as if to throw it to her. This was exactly what she had hoped he would do. She looked up and saw the item she would use to substitute with. He threw the stick and it was charging to her. She looked back and saw it was about 1 meter away. She took another step and leaped as hard as she could to get the log that she had saw. She threw the log down and the stick Ryou had thrown hit it in the bottom right area. Not perfect but enough to pass the academy exam. "I guess dumplings are on me!" she said happily.
