During the ten days of carrying out missions outside, living on dry rations for energy and camping in hidden mountain spots.
For a Ninja, this is nothing, even a Genin fresh out of the Ninja School would quickly get used to this routine.
During this period, Uchiha Yoichi searched for Hidden Cloud Ninja targets by day and lay low to rest and recover strength by night.
They too wanted to hunt Hidden Cloud Ninja at night; the squad had two types of Pupil Techniques, an Inuzuka, and a Perception Ninja, making the darkness an even better cover for them.
But Hidden Cloud Ninja aren't fools. They know Konoha has the Byakugan, a Kekkeigenkai, so they rarely choose to carry out missions at night, and even if outside, squads would find a hidden spot to hide.
This initially led Yoichi's team to waste quite a bit of energy looking for Hidden Cloud Ninja at night, leading them eventually to give up.
When resting at night, Uchiha Yoichi rarely kept watch, as the task was split among Inuzuka Daikichi and the other two. It wasn't a captain's privilege, they just felt it's unfair.
Faced with the enemy, they didn't have much chance to contribute, and if they left guard duty to Captain Yoichi, their mission would be skating on thin ice.
Uchiha Yoichi now uses the Dream Master ability every day, an excellent ability he wished to use twenty-four hours a day.
The first thing he did upon entering was to have Minami research the Reanimation Body's Talisman; once she improved the control talisman for the Reanimation Body, Uchiha Yoichi intended to leave the enhancement sacrifice experiment to Minami.
Her research on human body control is stronger than Uchiha Yoichi's, to say the least, she can pinpoint the reasons when the Hashirama Cells failed to fuse and document them.
Besides, Uzumaki Minami had no aversion to such experiments. In Dream Space, a new test subject appeared every time one was used up, with all materials readily available, so Minami was a bit slow to react and still thought it was her dream up to now.
But repeating the same nightmare for ten days made Uzumaki Minami a bit puzzled.
Orochimaru's research on Hashirama Cells eventually used sixty child specimens, with only one, Yamato, surviving; so in the Dream Space, Minami could experiment with three hundred, even six hundred.
As long as there was enough time, thousands could be done.
With massive trial and error, a method to fuse Hashirama Cells would be found eventually.
After arranging Uzumaki Minami, Uchiha Yoichi sought out Uzumaki Kushina to help her control the Nine-tails and extract Chakra; their teamwork had become very smooth these past days, and recently, Kushina planned to try and feel the negative emotions within the Nine-tailed Chakra.
With Uchiha Yoichi there, she wasn't afraid of being influenced and losing control to the Nine-tailed Chakra; once familiar, Kushina would attempt to control the Tailed Beast Power on her own.
After ten days, Uchiha Yoichi had taken quite a bit of Nine-tailed Chakra, while Kushina nagged each time, either hoping Uchiha Yoichi's Illusion Technique would last longer or thinking he took too much Chakra.
Uchiha Yoichi paid no attention to Kushina's nagging; he had the ability, hence why he needed so much, if not, he'd endure.
After obtaining the Tailed Beast Chakra from Kushina, Uchiha Yoichi would enter Madam Mikota's dream to play the role of a good husband.
This Dream Master's ability was truly wondrous, he was somewhat reluctant to part from it; Madam Mikota's place was the only place where Uchiha Yoichi felt warmth on the perilous battlefield.
Especially as Madam Mikota grew bolder in dreams, holding Uchiha Yoichi's head the day before, calling "Anata, Anata,".
If not knowing this was Madam Mikota's real reaction, Uchiha Yoichi would have thought he created this version of Madam Mikota.

"Lord Dodai!"
In the Hidden Cloud Village, a female ninja reported joyfully after informing the Raikage Building, seeing Dodai, the Third Generation Raikage's right-hand man, "I've communicated with the Two-tailed, and I know its name!"
"What, is this true, Yugito?"
Dodai was shocked to hear this from Yugito; how long had it been since Yugito became a Jinchuriki? It seemed less than a month.
Knowing the Two-tailed's name in such a short time, are you its reincarnated friend?
Though the Two-tailed was a bit better tempered than Gyuki, it was a sealed Tailed Beast and still held some resentment towards the Hidden Cloud Village; even the previous Jinchuriki took two years to gain Two-tailed's approval.
The previous Jinchuriki never gained recognition from Gyuki and ended up dying mysteriously during Gyuki's rampage, raising suspicions of foul play.
"It's true, its name is Matatabi, it said it could help me, but I can't use its power yet, only through diligent training can I use its power."
Upon hearing the name from Yugito's mouth, Dodai believed that Yugito truly won the Two-tailed's acknowledgment.
As for being unable to use the Two-tailed's power, that was understandable.
Dodai solemnly said, "Yugito, you know the village's current situation, we want to defeat Konoha Ninja in one stroke, and we need the Two-tailed's help, so we hope you'll communicate well with it and have it assist us...."
"I also want to help the village, but right now I can't utilize the Two-tailed's power..."
For now, Yugito could only use a little of the Two-tailed's power, with some Tailed Beast traits manifesting on her body, which was her limit.
