"Yeah. It's cool. Just.. Yeah. I guess you had your reasons 'n.. well, most of the things you said were true, anyway." Minato shrugged.

"Perhaps, but said in a rather rude manner." he admitted, scratching his neck just a little awkwardly.

"Yeah... you were being kind of an ass about it. But.. well, I wasn't too polite, either. I was.. Ah, well, you hit some. Sensitive subjects I guess." Minato wasn't looking at Kakashi, opting instead for the chin-up bar and a few lifts.

"... Yeah, and you hit some of mine. We just got off on the wrong foot, I guess." he shrugged, and went for some one-armed pushups, switching arms when he'd done 30 repititions.

"Kinda. But you helped us too. Me 'n Kushina. So I guess that evens things out." Sweat broke out on Minato's forehead around the fifteenth pullup. With Kakashi around, he was working out a lot harder than he would have otherwise.

Well, for once, he'd be able to see Kakashi fail, just a little - on the second to last pushup on left arm, he, well, fell to the side. It wasn't that his arm gave in, his balance just vanished. It did that sometimes. He was just usually prepared for it. A small curse followed.

"You okay?" panted Minato from atop the chinbar. Weeks before, he'd have felt some small satisfaction from watching Kakashi fail, but.. well, now, not so much.

A small nod, a deep sigh. "It's just, well, just when i think I'm used to the new sight, it seems my body isn't. I just lose my balance sometimes, completely at random. It's infuriating." he muttered, and sat back up. "Depth perception's not the same as before, either, but that's... Kind of obvious."

Minato jumped down, shook out his arms and nodded in what he hoped was a manly fashion. "Injuries suck. You doing any balance exercises? Kung fu has a ton of those."

"Not really. It's not exactly something we use time for i jiu jitsu or muay thai." he got up to a stand and sighed. "It's just... It's fine mostly all the time, just... Not when things eiter have to go really fast, or I've got to be very precise, or when I'm training just a little endurance. Seems it all puts a good amount of strain on the eye, compared to everything else."

"Well.. you could take up yoga. That's great for balance. Or.. I could show you some balance exercises?"

"... I'd be very grateful if you would." a small smile. "I could teach you some ground fighting in return? Just some basics, if you want to. Since you guys don't have any of that."

"Ah.."
Well. Taking lessons from Kakashi... it brought back the memory of the guy basically wiping the floor with him, way back when. But.. that was then. And - he could probably always do with some ground game. Humility, respect and all that..
"Ya know what, sure. It sounds like fun," he put on his best charming smile without too much difficulty.

"Sounds like a fair deal to me," a smile in return, and he took a sip of the water he'd brought along, before he pulled out his eyedrops and squeezed two drops in the bad eye. It did sting a little(in his opinion - a lot in anyone else's) just after he lost his balance from time to time. The eyedrops her, he'd gotten from Acher, helped almost immediately, for which he was very grateful.

"Mmh." To make conversation, Minato casually asked: "Hurts?"

"Just a little. Stings, is more like it. Nothing I wouldn't be able to ignore without the drops, though. But Acher said it'd be best to use them immediately after these... Things."

"Injuries suck," Minato said sympathetically. "You just gotta, I dunno, deal with them. Try to work around them."

A small nod. "You can bet it's hard to get used to the eyesight getting reduced by 80% in one side. And some placed lightly tinted red." he sighed. "Man, gave me so much trouble in the beginning. Especially with the depth perception." he gave a weak grin and there was even the lightest blush. "I walked into quite a few doors and such because I thought they wee farther away than they really were."

"Well.. Karate Kid fought blind," Minato joked. "It's just.. It takes some more training, but it's.. learning to fight in a new way. I'm sure you can manage."

"I did finally get the black belt, after all." a small smile and shrug. "After a 6 months setback."

"I was out for four when I.." a small pause "-with a broken rib. It sucks, but.. well, you suck it up and come back."

"Broken rib? How'd you managed that?" he'd heard others get it before, of course, but it had usually been some very hefty training or, well, one guy with parkour, another with skateboarding, as well. And landing... Less favorably.

"Er, I got kicked by a really big guy in training," Minato said, a little too fast. "Sucks but what can you do, eh?" He laughed nervously.

.... Slight narrowing of the eyes, in a kind of worried manner. "... What was it really?"

"Training, like I said..." Minato was looking everywhere but at Kakashi, and starting to sweat even in the cold mountain air.
