CONSEQUENCES BE DAMNED Mikio was chronically prone to kidnapping individual students for Special Lessons periodically, a quirk that the senior sensei were growing more and more tolerant of as the months went on. Though to some it might have seemed like a waste of time, spending so much effort doing one-on-one and small group lessons, time and time again the students the came out the other side of Mikio’s Special Lessons had learned more, and were more excited to learn more. There were some exceptions of course—not every student enjoyed wrestling with predator cats as large as they were—but by and large, she was seeing a lot of success as a teacher. Today, little Yugao Uka was Mikio’s victim once again. Rather than the academy training yard, Mikio had whisked the girl away to Arashi Teien. The rain was heavy and the small forest within the park was picturesque and beautiful—sure, there was a ‘no fighting’ policy, but it wasn’t like they’d be really fighting anyone today! Azuki and Maru flanked Mikio as the little party made their way to the park, Mikio skipping through puddles and seemingly oblivious to the odd stares that turned her way as they broached the treeline and into the forest. "Uka-kooo~” Mikio sang as they walked, "Mimi-sensei has a very special treat for you today! Uka-ko has lots of friends just like Mimi-sensei does, so Mimi-sensei thinks that this will be a good thing to teach! What does Uka-ko know about…” She paused for effect, then spun in place, swiping her hands out in a mock-attack. "Pack tactics!?” Yugao Uka -- 265

Uka, with her bright and curious eyes, stood amidst the forest, her hat and hair drenched by the rain. Mikio's mention of "pack tactics" sparked a playful energy within her. Her eyes took a quick glance at the two beasts next to Mikio.
[break][break]
"Could you please explain what pack tactics are?" Uka asked in a bright, inquisitive voice. She continued, "I recall reading about them in some of the scrolls at the academy. Would it be correct to say that pack tactics are when creatures like wolves or lions work together to hunt or defend themselves?"
[break][break]
As she looked around the surrounding trees, Uka pondered how these tactics could be applied in her own life. "It seems like teamwork is essential, knowing when to attack when to defend, and how to coordinate movements to outsmart opponents," she said, her voice filled with curiosity.
[break][break]
Uka's gaze returned to Mikio, and her uncertain smile transformed into one of hope. "Are we going to learn how to do that? To work together with others to achieve something greater than what we could do alone?" Her voice was a mix of curiosity and anticipation, and her eyes shone with excitement.
[break][break]
Her two hands which were holding Momo, squeezed it a bit too hard in excitement leading to a few of her butterflies and moths to fly out, fluttering in a somehow unhappy manner, which in return made Uka soften her grip, "Sorry."

Having undergone comprehensive training under her father's guidance since a young age, Uka has developed exceptional proficiency in both the theoretical and practical aspects of the Yugao clan's hijutsu. This extensive training enables her to adeptly utilize a wide array of the clan's jutsu. With her honed skills, Uka can effectively communicate with, command, and channel the innate instincts and capabilities of the insects belonging to the Lepidoptera order, such as butterflies and moths, seamlessly integrating them into her own jutsus.

Due to her unremarkable chakra reserves and her clan's hijutsu, Uka focused on enhancing her chakra control, manipulating her chakra flow and division with a pinpoint precision that is so necessary for any shinobi that uses Genjutsu.

CONSEQUENCES BE DAMNED "Mimi-sensei doesn’t need to explain what pack tactics are because Uka already knows perfectly!!” Mikio hollered, entirely too loud for the serene, tranquil environment they were occupying. A few birds took flight from the branches of nearby trees, twittering angrily in protest to the disturbance of their peace. "We are going to learn how to do exactly that!! Pack tactics are Mimi-sensei’s speciality! The clan that Mimi-sensei is from, the Nekomata allllllll the way in Iwagakure, is all about using pack tactics to fight alongside their beloved kitty-cat companions!” Azuki and Maru sat patiently at Mikio’s side; Azuki nodded sagely, as though she had heard and understood this speech a hundred times before. "What Uka-ko is going to learn today,” Mikio continued, "is using pack tactics… with your butterflies!!” It sounded insane, and on some level, Mikio knew that, but she barrelled along regardless to explain herself. "Azuki and Maru work together with Mimi-sensei to distract and occupy our enemies so that Mimi-sensei can go in for a killing blow,” she explained. "There’s no reason why Uka-ko’s butterflies and moths shouldn’t be able to do the exact same thing! With a lot of hard work and practice, anything is possible! So what do you say, Uka-ko, do you want to give it a try?” Yugao Uka -- 215

Uka's eyes widened with a mix of surprise and excitement at Mikio's proposal. The butterflies and moths usually served as mediums for genjutsu-related techniques in the Yugao clan, but no one has said that they couldn't be used like other familiars and this idea seemed interesting. Who knows, maybe it could even make Uka stand out from the rest of her clan.
[break][break]
"Wow, that sounds incredible!" Uka exclaimed, her voice filled with enthusiasm. "I never thought about my butterflies and moths in that way before. But if Azuki and Maru can do it with Mimi-sensei, then I believe my little friends can too! Though they are quite fragile and small, compared to Azuki and Maru."
[break][break]
She shifted Momo in her arms, making sure to hold her cherished companions gently this time. The butterflies and moths that had escaped fluttered around her, seemingly eager to be a part of this newfound adventure.
[break][break]
"But where do we start, Miyake-sensei?" Uka asked eagerly, her eyes shining with determination. "Is there a specific technique or training regimen we should follow? I want to make sure my butterflies and moths are ready to work together as a team. After all, I want to be the best partner I can be for them."
