Zyzaat: -Shinyuu felt better than he had in a long time. With his new technique, he felt better than he had in a very long time... since he'd been given his special clothing that was impervious to the rinkaichu, in fact. If a crowd was too rowdy or he found himself in an uncomfortable situation, the Aburame could just sink into the ground and have a few moments of peace to collect himself.... perhaps he might not even be viewed as a walking time bomb any more. It was a rare sight to see the reclusive Aburame smiling, but as he walked to the training field, Shinyuu's face was positively beaming Something seemed... strange about him as he walked to the training field, but with his heavy amount of clothing it was hard for anyone to quite make it out. His pouch was still attached to his waist, containing all his weapons and other ninja tools, and his hat tassles bounced in time with his body, as it seemed he had an almost perceptive bounce in his step. His black gloves were gone, instead wearing his black gloves, his hands were clad in some sort of white fabric, the stitching disappearing under the coat in what seemed to be a continuous fashion up along his forearm. The coat made it impossible to see anything further. The rest of his attire was much the same as it has always been, coat, hat, closed toed shoes with a slight curl on their tips, and his spectacles. The Aburame doesn't bother opening the training gate to the Leaf Village's training ground: he simply steps through the fence and continues on his way as though the metal hadn't even been there. He looks around the training ground, finding it deserted for the moment as he begins to shed his clothing, taking off his coat and tucking the sleeves into his belt, the gloves already tucked under the belt that held his pouch to his waist. Once the coat was taken off, it would become appearant that Shinyuu was not naked underneath, instead of the Aburame's pale skin he wore what appeared to be a full body suit of pure white cloth. It was akin to what infants would wear, footie pajamas to keep the baby warm as well as to make it easier to clean up and messes. Shinyuu's garment covered his body almost entirely, leaving only his face open to the air. The purpose of the garment was pretty obvious, to keep the rinkaichu from accidentally infecting someone while the Aburame was fighting-







HarleeVanity: Hitomi had ran from her house and out of the compound to the village training ground. She had wanted do something right in her brother’s eyes. Something. Anything. Perhaps if she had learned her clan’s special abilities better, he would look to her with approval instead of distain like he normally did. Her attire was a simple pair of shorts and short sleeved shirt with fishnet stockings and fingerless gloves. Her sandals were covering her feet as she continued to run down the path way. When she got to the gate, she leaped into the air and on to the side of the tree trunk before she sprang off the tree trunk and over the gate. She pushed herself into a forward flip before she landed on both feet and knelt to take the impact of the landing. Slowly, she stood and looked about. There was only one person there. Not recognizing the attire, she walked along the side of the person and tilted her head a bit. Then she saw the man’s face. She smiled. “Shinyuu-sensei. Enjoying the day?” She said in her happy way.







Zyzaat: -Hearing a familiar voice, though the thick fabric muffled his hearing slightly, Shinyuu looks down, seeing the Hyuuga child he had trained with the past few days Shinyuu waved his hand in greeting. Without his hat to hide his features, Shinyuu's slightly gaunt face would be clearly visible to the Hyuuga... though of course with her Byakugan she likely knew the color of his spleen, let alone his facial features. His eyes were still hidden behind his black lensed spectacles and they slightly reflected the light of the morning sunlight- "Indeed we are. We are finishing up our training with our jutsu, and then perhaps..." -He trails off as he disappears into the ground and within a second appears on the other side of the Hyuuga child, a surprisingly earnest grin on his face- "How has its training been going? We expect it to have learned the Rotation by now." -He says... appearantly his good spirits had the Aburame comfortable enough to attempt humor, though his tone hadn't changed in the least from his previous words, and his smile faded away. One might easily mistake him for being serious-





HarleeVanity: The way the man looked mattered little to Hitomi as she came to walk before him. She continued to smile and gave a nod while waiting for him to finish his sentence. To her surprise, he came up right beside her and with a smile that caused the child to smile even brighter. “I have been working really hard. I thought today I would try to do it on land this time instead of on the water. If I have to get it down, I have to be able to use it on land as well as water.” She caught his attempt at humor and though the smile fell from his face, she continued to smile. Just the fact that she had received a smile from someone she considered to be ‘-sensei’ was worth so much to the young hyuuga child.





Zyzaat: -Shinyuu nods and his fingers twitch slightly, as if wanting to pat the girl's head. Yet the Aburame had been conditioned from a very early age that to touch someone was bad... very bad, lose your supper bad. Shinyuu simply rolls his shoulder slightly- "Would it like to show us? We have been very excited to test out our new technique in actual combat. Would the Hitomi like to pracitce as well? As it can see, we have taken some precautions so as not to injure our Hyuuga aquaintance. So long as it does not use any cutting or peircing weapons, it will be quite safe. We know the Hyuuga do not favor weapons so we think that this would be good practice for Hitomi as well, no?"



<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">HarleeVanity: The slight finger twitch didn’t escape the young Hyuuga’s eyes and she tilted her head slightly with a smile and nod in understanding. She smiled brightly and gave a nod. “It would make me very happy to show you my progress and help you, Shinyuu-sensei.” Walking to the side, she took off her side pouch and took Meeko from around her neck. Giving him a kiss, she placed him on the ground and smiled. “Go hunting but don’t go too far.” Smiling she just about skipped back to where Shinyuu was with her white eyes just about sparkling with excitement. “I am honored to be able to assist you, Shinyuu-sensei.” Her smile beamed and she waited for further instruction from the man.

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">Zyzaat: -Tugging slightly on the sleeve of his garment, Shinyuu slides his feet to shoulder width and raises his arms to shoulder level. Unlike most people who balled their fingers into fists, the Aburame's fingers were flat on the palm of his hand. This was done in order to keep his knuckles flat as he punched, so as not to risk breaking his fingers in case someone had a particularly hard head.... or used the Subtitution technique to put somehting hard and heavy in the path of his fist. Despite his great speed and excellent reflexes, the Aburame had very little explosive power, in fact some of the more taijutsu focused gennin were probably stronger than him. With almost his entire body covered in the white fabric, it appeared unlikely that the jounin was able to use his beetles- "Whenever Hitomi is ready, we invite her to begin." -he says- "Again, we would like to remind it to not use any weapon or jutsu that might cut or peirce the fabric. It is resistant to blades, but the more frayed it becomes the more likely our beetles are to come through. Kicks and punches are quite alright, and we encourage the Hyuuga not to hold back."

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">HarleeVanity: *Hitomi looked to him with a smile and a determined nod. “Alright.” She slid into her stance and held her hands with her palms open rather than closed into fists. She was more comfortable with her palms open allowing her to use her techniques with greater ease. She dashed at him in a zig zag pattern and just before she reached him, she jumped into the air and struck at his side with a hard kick coming from the right. In a way, she felt bad because this man was someone she respected but he had told her not to hold back so she wouldn’t.*

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">Zyzaat: -Watching the Hyuuga dash in, Shinyuu slides his leading foot forward and his body drops down suddenly, into a position commonly called a drop stance in martial arts. Raising his arm up in order to protect his head from the force of her kick. Using his arm as a sheild still left his other arm quite free, and the low stance left him with the perfect angle to lash out with his fist toward her supporting leg, the one that hadn't performed the kick. Though his blow wasn't particularly strong, the speed with which it was delivered still meant that the Aburame's fist would still carry quite a great deal of force behind it. His strike was aimed for the side of the muscle on her leg, about three quarters of the way along her thigh, where coincidentally a large nerve runs down the leg. Striking the nerve would result in the leg going numb for several seconds, though he kept the punch fairly shallow, not wanting to hurt the gennin too much-

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">HarleeVanity: *It was not going to be possible for her to move out of the way of his punch and it was truly just that. It would hurt but she would heal from it. She felt the entire bottom half of her leg go numb as she landed on the leg she had kicked out with, curling the other one under her until she was able to feel her leg once more. Even though she still felt the tingle in her leg, she pushed off the ground and went back towards him speeding across the ground and feeling every step with nothing but pins and needles for her efforts. She reared back with her right hand open and let it fly forward towards the center of the back of his neck.-

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">Zyzaat: -Though his low stance meant that it would take him a bit of time to stand back up and get into his stance, her crumpling to one leg meant that Shinyuu had ample time to get back into his stance. This time however, instead of exchanging blows with the Hyuuga, Shinyuu retreats, his speed allowing him to keep out of Hitomi's reach. As he jumps back he runs his hand along the ground, picking up a few pebbles he sends them flying through the air toward the girl- "Now then, show us what it's learned. For each stone it's able to block we'll give it a free hit." -He calls out-

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">HarleeVanity: *She quickly gets to her feet and starts to feel more then just pins and needles. Looking up to him she knew what he meant by this. Quickly spinning around, she found it more difficult to do on land then in the water but the sand moved easily under her foot. Focusing on her chakra, she began pushing it from all points of her body as evenly as she possibly could. Faster and faster, she spun and it took more and more of her focus for her to keep the chakra coming in a steady stream from her and encircling her body in a semi circle like his bugs had done the last time she had seen him. But was it fast enough for the shield to work?*

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">Zyzaat: -As the pebbles bounced off one after the other, Shinyuu nods, landing on the ground and leaving a small trail of dust as his feet skrrtch along the ground- "Nice nice indeed. We count four free hits... Perhaps Hitomi just might actually defeat a jounin. Wouldn't that put its brother in its place?" -He says jokingly. Being of another of the noble clans, Shinyuu knew of the tradition of the Hyuuga clan of relegating the siblings unworthy of holding the position of clan head to the branch families. He knew he didn't relish the idea of the kind Hitomi in the branch clan, and the Aburame knew that mastering this jutsu would certainly put her on the fast track to attaining the position. He noticed she stopped the technique at ground level and he shakes his head- "No no, the chakra must form a dome, otherwise the technique will be weaker. Expand it from every tenketsu in its body. Again." -He says, scooping up more stones and this time the stones are slightly bigger, picked up from the banks of the stream that runs through the training ground-

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">HarleeVanity: *She had come to a stop hearing the praise from him. It caused her to smile. But the truth of her clan's traditions none the less were once more pressed upon her and even though she knew that the kind but socially awkward Shinyuu didn't mean to remind her of it, it still stung to know that it was perhaps the reason that her brother didn't love her or show any emotion towards her but disdain. Now came the instruction. She listened and gave a nod as she knew this was no standard sparring. He would train her as only he would know how to and she accepted it. Seeing the size of the rocks, she once more began her spinning and this time, pushed the chakra from all points of her body. She felt it just about lift her from the ground as she pushed for more speed and focused more on keeping her chakra steady. Though she had been practicing, it was still difficult none the less. But she would do it. If the man that called her 'it' and 'the hitomi' smiled at her for all the work that she would have put into it, then it was worth it. Her brows furrowed as she concentrated and pushed herself more. Now the chakra formed a complete circle around her. She would see soon enough if that was going to work.

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">Zyzaat: -Though most of the stones bounced off, one managed to sneak though, though this of course, was not any lack of effort on her part, the Aburame had simply incrased the stone's penetrating potential by sheathing it in some wind style chakra. It wasn't likely to be a technique known by a gennin, but if one trained for a jounin, then one would defeeat a gennin, Shinyuu reasoned. The stone was angled downward so that it would hit the groudn by Hitomi's feet and the Aburame nods. Once the Hyuuga was aware that such techniques were possible, she wasn't likely to be surprised by it in actual combat, or so he hoped. She might have been spinning too fast to notice, he supposed, but being surprised in combat was the cause of many gennin deaths. They were just kids after all, it was to be expected that they would be scared when they didn't know how to react. Fear made you slow, and slow got you dead. The Aburame suddenly vanished, travelling at full speed, covering the distance from creek to Hitomi in hardly a second, appearing behind the Hyuuga as he waits for her to come out of the rotation, wondering to see how she'll react to him not being where she would have expected him-

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">HarleeVanity: *She heard the 'thud' of the rock as it hit the ground at her feet and came to a quick stop. Noticing that the man was not where he was, she knew that he was one that could travel where he wanted just about instantly from seeing him move in and out of the ground. Turning, she raised her arms up in a ready position if there was an attack thrown at her and she had to be ready. It did not surprise her to know that he was standing behind her. This was a spar and things like that were to be expected both on the training grounds and in a true battle. Again, she remembered that he had said not to hold back and she didn't though she could feel that the usage of so much chakra was indeed going to be an issue but she wouldn't slow down. With her left hand, she came in toward his right side with a spear hand thrust as fast and as hard as she could.

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">Zyzaat: -Unlike most gennin, when their enemy wasn't there she didn't drop her guard, she reinforced it. This girl had good instincts, and her Byakugan wasn't even active. His musings were interrupted as she jumps into a sudden charge, coming in at his right side, the Aburame turned slightly but her hand grazed the side of his ribs- "Good good, press the advantage." -He said as he pretended to be caught off balance, backpedaling slightly as if to catch himself-

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">HarleeVanity: -Now was the point that the Hyuuga child activated her Byakugan and saw the chakra channels flow through the man's body. This was what it meant for her to not hold back. Building more chakra up in her hands, she reared back with her right hand and would pushed into the center of his torso with a open palm strike while initiating the Gentle Fist technique.-

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">Zyzaat: -Seeing the veins in her temples, Shinyuu's beetles reacted to the increased flow of chakra to her palm, and the Aburame begins sinking into the ground, using his Hiding in Surface jtusu to escape the strike. In his haste however, the Aburame hadn't properly diffused his chakra and though his body, and the jutsu was too slow. His shins were under the ground, so instead of being hit in the center of his torso, Shinyuu was only clipped in the shoulder. He still found himself forced back by the strength of her chakra, his arm going numb, the fingers on his right hand tingling as his shoulder throbbed. He hadn't expected it to hurt quite so much... maybe he should have had her hold back just a little... He disappears fully into the ground and appears within seconds on the far side of the bank of teh stream rubbing his shoulder, flexing the fingers to get the blood flowing once more, feeling some of the sense return and he exhales. This was why he had the gennin practice the jutsu in its correct form more than once. He'd panicked and the technique had been performed to less than perfect efficacy, and his tingling shoulder served to remind of him the lesson he taught to his student. An unorthodox, yet poignant reminder of the master learning from the student. Shinyuu extricates himself from the ground and squats down picking up several of the flatter stones from the riverbank and keeping them hidden in his hand he waves for Hitomi to continue the training and that he was alright-

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">HarleeVanity: *Remembering that he had told her that she couldn't use anything sharp, she tucked the water needle jutsu away so she wouldn't go against what her Sensei had asked of her. She could feel the amount of chakra she had expelled and took a deep breath as sweat began to form as little beads on her forehead. Once more she began to sprint across the training field. She still had two more hits to get in that she had earned. Her Byakugan still activated, she could see the points in his body that would cause the flow of chakra to stop. With her speed allowing her to move quickly, she came quickly towards the water's edge and was about to run over the water once she had pushed more of her chakra through the bottoms of her feet. This was one traingin that she was going to feel in the morning.*

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">Zyzaat: -While Hitomi runs toward him across the training feild Shinyuu flows his chakra over the stones in his hand. Having selected them for their flat shape, the Aburame runs foward to meet her charge. Of course a defensive jutsu was useless if not activated in time to intercept an attack. He realized the extremes to which he pushed her, which is why he had travelled to the other side of the stream, to force her to cross over the water. He timed his charge so that he would be within striking distance when she was over the stream. Sudeenly the Aburame vanished, instead of sinking into the water, he once again used his speed to leap upwards into the air, flipping over her. Yet in his wake came the stone which he had covered in his chakra, the jutsu he used on them was his Rotating Shuriken technique. With the stones unorthodox shape, the technique was strained to its limits just keeping them up in the air, the wind style jutsu making the stone rotate slowly, as easy as the normally thrown projectiles had been to block, yet the proximity would mean that it would be very unlikely for the gennin to block or evade the stones, her only salvation would be the Rotation.... if she could react quickly enough-

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">HarleeVanity: *her Byakugan still engaged, she was able to see him throwing the stones at her and it was beginning to become easier for her to start spinning. But the advantage he gave her at this point was known to her. He attacked her over the water. This was going to take all she had and she was going to be drained after it but it would be worth it in the end. Forcing herself into a fast spin was easy then she expelled her chakra quickly. It took all she could to keep the focus where it needed to be and she strained to keep it going enough to comepletely surround herself. But it was a bit easier to keep the speed needed because of the area in which he did this. On the surface of the water.*

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">Zyzaat: -Shinyuu watched from the other side of the stream, nodding slightly as Hitomi naturally and smoothly jumps into her Rotation. The stones are repelled, spalshing into the surface of the water and Shinyuu applauds the girl's efforts- "Good good... we think Hitomi is ready to use this technique. The Hyuuga did quite well, how does it feel with this particular technique, more comfortable in its use, yes?" -He asks her, his arms crossed over his chest-

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">HarleeVanity: *She came out of it and sank into the water. Coming up, she spit out the water and moved to the side of the river. She looked up to him and smiled though it showed that she was indeed tired from it all. "Yeah. Though it is still going to take me much more time to get it to the point that I don't feel it as much." She sat on the shore and wrung out her hair as she looked up to him. "Are you alright, Sensei? I didn't hurt you too bad did I?" She said as she placed her hands in her lap letting the sun beam down on her*

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">Zyzaat: -Shinyuu waves a dismissive hand, his right, showing that he was alright- "We've felt much worse. Our beetles lessened the damage as well... the kikaichu enjoy a good snack of chakra once in a while." -He offers her a hand to help her up from the river bank after she had dried out her hair- "Did it not receive a squad assignment, why does it still referr to us as 'Sensei' surely it must have gotten a proper sensei by now, hasn't it?"

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">HarleeVanity: *She smiled and took his hand knowing that he would not have offered it if he was not sure she'd be alright with it. "I have. However, you started teaching me first. You will always be Sensei." She said with a smile.
