Yuki set aside some time to train for the upcoming chunin exams. Yuki not only trained his body, but his soul and mind through deep meditation. Yuki used meditation as a method of keeping calm through any situation, and purposely put himself in harms way to test his calamity and courage. An assumption can possibly be made that Yuki's intellegence and or sense of logic slightly increased for various situation as he could then calm his mind through meditation.
Yuki then seeked to train his clan's abilities to grow stronger than they were currently. Yuki began to practice basic water manipulation such as pushing, pulling and twisting the water. Yuki practiced these basic movements in order to practice control, precision and for overall technique. By controlling the technique better and having precision, Yuki will waste less chakra and the impact will become one of a more critical nature.
Yuki then began to work on his speed by increasing his stamina and strength. Yuki did many various excercises for example countless pushups, weight training and sprints etc. Yuki did these excercises for at most 6 days, he then came to the realisation that taijutsu was not his fortae as he had little control nor the strength to back it up with it. Yuki then decided to develop an alternate method for taijutsu skills. Yuki decided to create a mass of wind around him to increase his movement and reduce friction; However since the technique requires intense chakra manipulation for a constant time, Yuki only saw it as a desperation move, almost abandoning the technique until he knew he was stronger for it.
For the clan crystal ice, Yuki trained the manipulation of both ice and snow, in an attempt for improvement. Yuki began to test the durability of his snow. Yuki attempted to increase to defence of his snow through many rigorous test such as using paper bombs or scrolls sealed with fire jutsus on it, in order to assertain its strength. Yuki then came to a conclusion that the snow he used was weaker than his ice in defending fire style jutsus, however is just as good at deflecting bombs and taijutsu movements. Yuki then saw another great opportunity for improvement. Instead of a high density wind guard, Yuki decided to make an armor of snow, similar to the wind except that there was no constant manipulation of control for the material. The drawback being it required a great amount of chakra control and unlike the wind this only hindered his movement as the snow was heavy. The bright side of the technique being that his defence drastically increases from attacks. Yuki then decided to make this his last resort instead of the wind guard armor.
Yuki after developing his snow armor idea, then had an idea to make an offensive move utilising both snow and crystal ice. The idea was that Yuki surrounded the target with a mass of snow and instantneously converts the snow into crystal ice and shrinks the area to crush the opponent. Yuki then tried to convert snow to crystal ice; The training took over a week for Yuki to do as the snow only converted to ice. He knew then that his manipulative abilities needed to be strengthened, Yuki then remembered the hidden rain jutsu he had learned earlier and remembered that the rain strengthens a clan members manipulation and stamina. Yuki tried the jutsu and the developing technique, only to no avail. Yuki tried repeatedly until he got it, and when he did the force from the technique's crush of the target was incredible, he then called the technique appropriately "blizzard crush". Knowing there was nothing else he could do Yuki left the training area and awaited the chunin exams.
