Mito's mouth fell open in disbelief as she watched the change come over Yui.
"Is this Shikkotsu Forest's senjutsu?" she cried out in shock. "I never imagined you'd actually mastered it."
"Yui, just how many more surprises are you hiding from me?" she asked gravely, shaking her head.

Mito gave a soft murmur of surprise and lowered her gaze to Yui on the floor. "You seem a little puzzled by what I said?"

"With the Senju Clan's talent, how could none of them have mastered Shikkotsu Forest's senjutsu...?"
"And..."
At that, Mito shook her head slightly, cutting Yui off before she could
