"The local hospitality is marvelous," Yuki said with a hint of amusement.  His bias was that spies would be above in the trees or perhaps under loose soil, but underwater was perfectly viable here.  Water was just another medium for which sound to vibrate through, though it was much less useful than air to most.  Part of him was rather dissatisfied that some of Makoto's secrets would be leaked to the locals, but it was inevitable.  They were ninjas, after all.  Hopefully, that wouldn't hurt Makoto's chances of making Chuunin.<br/><br/>The selfish part of him was glad that nothing had really been shown of his abilities.  Blocking had better not have been a secret technique to Bikini-chan before she showed up, or else she'd be a boring foe to defeat.<br/><br/>"Hello, Hime-chan.  Thanks for the compliment.  We aren't occupying a training spot you intended to use, are we?" An amateur would be outraged at the spying, but he considered it far more important to be civil.  This would be his opportunity to gather a little intelligence right back, after all.  He wouldn't get as much, but he had already learned a little about this village anyway...
