[ It's no wonder Yukimura got some phoenix imagery in his own game; his healing factor makes him more than deserving. Given the severity of his injuries, he's still barred from any physical activity that could be called strenuous and wearing far too many bandages for his liking, but most people in his shoes would still be entirely confined to their beds.
They're back at the Takeda compound by now, and the familiar surroundings aid in his recovery -- eventually. At first, the shame of having gotten himself into such bad shape in the first place was churning constantly in his stomach. He's sure the only reason Shingen didn't punch him skyward and call him a fool is because for once, he wouldn't be able to take it, and knowing that hurt worse than he imagined the punch itself ever would.
Fortunately, the shame lessens the more he heals. Staying put and resting is hard for a person like Yukimura, but the variety of stories Sasuke brings him keep him from getting too stir-crazy and jeopardizing his healing as a result. It's a little hard to read through the more scandalous parts, like when people hold hands, but he thinks he gets a little stronger as a person every time he makes it through a scene like that. He doesn't even let himself skim over them!
He's lying on his side, intently reading one of those stories when Sasuke comes to check on him. ]
Improved from yesterday, Japan's Number One Ninja!
[ It hurts to do most things that aren't lying in bed (and even that's not painless), but it's a lot more bearable than it was at first. ]
