In a grand royal bedroom, a young girl stirred, her eyes fluttering open with anticipation. Today marked the beginning of her training, a prospect that filled her with excitement. Determined to grow stronger and support her beloved mother, she drew inspiration from her every day, aspiring to make her proud by achieving her goals. She understood that the path ahead would be challenging, but she embraced the readiness to confront any obstacle that lay in her way.
As the door to her room swung open, her mother, Kaguya, entered and greeted her with a warm smile. "Good morning, princess. Any lingering pain?" Yukari responded with a beaming smile, assuring her mother that she felt even better than before. After a nourishing breakfast, Kaguya informed her daughter that they would visit the God Tree after seeing her brothers, who were concerned for her well-being. Yukari nodded absentmindedly, displaying a touch of tsundere behavior, but deep down, she was thrilled to be in her brothers' company. Kaguya couldn't help but giggle at her daughter's pouting expression, finding it utterly adorable, and playfully ruffled her hair.
With breakfast finished, Kaguya revealed that Yukari's first lesson involved opening a portal to their home. Excitement coursed through Yukari as she gathered her chakra, preparing to create a portal. However, as moments passed in silence, she grew frustrated and embarrassed when nothing manifested before her. Cheekily glancing at her mother, she gave a hopeful smile, seeking guidance. Kaguya returned her smile, understanding her daughter's predicament. It dawned on Yukari that she needed to vividly envision her desired destination, recalling her mother's previous explanation. Like a flickering lightbulb illuminating her mind, Yukari grasped the key to success.
Suddenly, a sizable purple portal materialized with sharp, square edges. Chakra emanated from the opening, spreading throughout the room. Overwhelmed with joy, Yukari hopped up and down, realizing her accomplishment. Her mother's gaze brimmed with pride. "We may be in a different dimension than home, so failure wouldn't have been a problem, but you did wonderfully, Yukari. Succeeding on your second attempt surpasses my expectations and proves that my daughter is a prodigy," Kaguya praised, embracing her daughter. Yukari swelled with pride and happiness at her mother's words. The effort she had put into understanding and applying her mother's teachings had paid off. Together, they stepped through the portal, returning to the familiarity of their home.
The sound of her name being called drew Yukari's attention as her brothers ran toward her, enveloping her in warm hugs while checking if she was alright. Understanding that their mother hadn't disclosed the full truth of the situation, Yukari felt a lump in her throat. She returned her brother's embrace, assuring everyone that she was indeed fine. Kaguya observed the scene with a soft smile, proud of her children's love and concern for one another. Basking in her children's display of affection, Kaguya felt a surge of pride, knowing she had raised them well. Together, they celebrated Yukari's recovery and her return to strength.
Yukari eagerly shared the news of her newfound abilities with her brothers, who rejoiced in her success and eagerly anticipated her growth. Aware of her adoration for their mother and her self-proclaimed status as a "goddess in training," they often teased her about following their mother like a lost puppy. Inspired by Yukari's determination, her brothers expressed their own desire to embark on their training journeys. Delighted by their enthusiasm, Kaguya expressed her happiness that they hadn't been discouraged
Emerging through the portal, Kaguya and Yukari found themselves standing on the rim of a vast crater, their eyes taking in the awe-inspiring sight before them. Yukari's heart raced with a mixture of astonishment and bewilderment as she beheld the breathtaking scene unfolding before her. Turning to her mother, she couldn't contain her curiosity and blurted out, "Mom, is this the God Tree?" Her gaze was fixed upon a magnificent tree that stood tall and proud, its commanding presence amplified by the intricate web of roots that spread out in every direction.
Kaguya, with a gentle smile, confirmed Yukari's suspicions and revealed that they had indeed arrived at the sacred location where Yukari would embark on her training and discover the hidden truth behind her mother's earlier reservations. Understanding the weight of secrecy shrouding the tree's roots, Yukari nodded in agreement, sensing the importance of the secret her mother was determined to protect. Driven by her resolve, she activated her Byakugan, a power that bestowed upon her heightened vision and perception.
Through her discerning eyes, Yukari meticulously examined the network of roots, tracing their path as they extended deep into the earth. The roots' intricate patterns intertwined with pulsating chakra, leading her gaze toward the very core of the colossal tree. Despite sensing her mother's concern, Yukari reassured her that she remained undeterred by what lay beneath the roots. However, deep down, she knew that her brothers, if aware of the truth, would likely disapprove. Kaguya, acknowledging the validity of Yukari's thoughts, couldn't help but let out a sigh, fully aware of the necessity to keep the secret hidden for the sake of their survival.
As Kaguya and Yukari floated in mid-air, they descended gracefully toward the roots and the enigmatic realm that awaited them below. Kaguya, in a soothing tone, offered words of reassurance, promising her daughter that the training would commence once they reached their destination. She also hinted at the grand plan she had meticulously crafted, leaving Yukari buzzing with anticipation, excitement, and a tinge of nervousness.
