Yui smiled sheepishly. "It was just a fluke. I got lucky..."
Was this really a matter of luck? Tsunade's head throbbed.
"Tsunade, the last time we met must have been five or six years ago!" Nai Hyuga suddenly remarked.
She was not particularly close to Tsunade. They could only really be called acquaintances.
"Yes..." Tsunade nodded gently, then thought of something else. "Oh, right, Yui. Did you two come to the Land of Whirlpools on some business? Do you need my help?"

She let out a soft sigh. "You're right. I really can't help you with that."
Then she turned toward the contemplative Mito, lowered her head slightly, and whispered into Yui's ear, "Yui, do you really want to learn those dull, boring Sealing Jutsu?"
Yui was somewhat speechless. She glanced at Tsunade and said matter-of-factly, "Of course. I have to learn Sealing Jutsu, and my reason is simple. I need to seal some very dangerous things."
