Description The thing about having more than one teacher is that you can learn more than one skillset.
In Yuwa's case, things are rather straightforward. Her field is all manner foot mobile combat, against one or more person, though usually one, melee or ranged, with a veritable rainbow of weaponry.
However, as a shinobi, Shina's lessons are much more subtle. Shadowy, and, more notably, ever present. Her teachings are two fold, separate but ever connected. One part is present in the mind, how mentality and focus can effect the fight, how to get into a foe's mind and throw off their balance.
The other part is actual physical combat, and not just shinobi fighting styles, but how they're a skillset always in use. A lot can happen in the shadows, in the space just outside your peripheral vision, meaning that you must always guard yourself against a shinobi's talents, just as much as a shinobi must be prepared to use them.
It is for this reason that Shina love to drop in on her shared student and fellow teacher, and attempt to throw either of them off their game with her..."natural assets".
It's a coin toss as to who actually gets tripped up by her "pop quizzes".
Also there's a funny quirk between the title of this one and the alternate version . Can you guess what it is?
