When she stood up, her body was covered with dust.
"Your taijutsu is quite good for a chunin, but still, it is far from the jonin rank. I don't want to have mere chunins in my team. I'll train you guys to be at least at the jonin level in taijutsu," Rei said with a stoic voice.

"I'll bring the materials first." He flicked somewhere and came back in the blink of an eye. He carried with him a big red wooden box.
He opened the box and took out several metal rings. He gave four of these rings to each.
"This thing weighs 50 kg. Wear two of them on your hands and the other two on your legs. You can use chakra to increase or decrease the radius," Rei said.
One by one, they wore the metal rings on their legs and hands.
"Try walking," Rei said.
As they tentatively took their first steps with the added weight, Rei observed their movements closely, noting any signs of struggle or imbalance. Each step seemed heavier, their movements slower, but they persisted, determined to adapt to the challenge presented by the weighted rings.
"Focus on maintaining your balance," Rei instructed, his tone firm but encouraging. "Let the weight ground you, but don't let it hinder your agility. Use your chakra to adjust and compensate for the added load."
With each step, they gradually adjusted to the weight, finding a rhythm in their movements despite the added strain. Rei watched silently, allowing them to acclimate to the new training method without interference.
"Now try running," Rei said.
They tried to run but couldn't; after using chakra, they could run.

In the morning, as he was leaving the cafeteria while stretching his hands, he saw a man with a pale face and black hair wearing a white robe coming in his direction. Usually, Twilight's leaders' personal guards wear this kind of robe.
"Jonin Rei, this is the task given to your team by the higher-ups. Make sure you complete it in one week," he handed a paper to Rei.
