Heki: “All of these handseals… they have got to be kidding me.” Spoke the sighing Genin as he walked out of the Hokage’s office with a big scroll in his hands that read “Water Release: Water Shark Bullet technique.”. The genin had sparked the interest of a random Shinobi who saw the child in training. Said random ended up being a staff-member of the Hokage and as such one thing led to another and they decided to push the boy’s ability to see if he could become a worthy defendant of Konoha. Thus they had given him the B-rank jutsu scroll. –So difficult… but it should be interesting.- Akira thought back to what they said about having to learn the Jutsu in a week or they’d take the scroll back from him, nodding to the strictness to show that he agreed and would’ve set those same limits for himself regardless. Alas. By now the 13 year old had walked up to one of Konoha’s training grounds that were home to a circular plateau for combatants to fight in. For now, Akira just sat down on a ledge to the side, his feet bungling through the air, as he opened the scroll on his lap and began to read. Unusual was the fact that his bo-staff was nowhere to be seen. Even though he was hardly seen using it in combat he still had it with him everywhere he went. But today was different. Lately has been different. As Akira’s been focusing on using his hands and fists more, building his meager strength, so he’d have a hard body to accompany his ninjutsu prowess. All in good time though. For now he simply sat and studied.





Damien: -Dante a young member of the Hyuga clan was out and about for a walk around the hidden leaf today, the day didn’t relate to him in the slightest, as Dante was cool and collected seemly emotionless, the weather of today was cheery as often in the land of fire. The sky was pretty cloudy, but the clouds had no colour to them so it wouldn't rain of offered sweat release from the sun above. While walking Dante kept reflecting back over the past couple of days a Jutsu he’d been trying, Chakra Flow, this was only a stepping stone for what he really wanted to do. But one step at a time he’d achiev his goal, and he had a general understanding on his to move on with this step which would be the reason he’d be on the way to the training ground. After walking a short while more he found himself at the front gate of the training ground, quickly opening it before stepping through, turning around and closing it after himself. Quickly scanning around the area to see if anybody was here, noticing a boy with a scroll on his lap near the sparring area, maybe it would be good to try out what he thought he knew in combat: that's if the other person wouldn’t mind a little confrontation. In a slow collective pace making his way towards the sparring arena but past the boy, he didn’t wanna just jump in and offer anybody to fight that's not how Dante was, instead he walked past the bo, glancing down at the scroll, it was nothing he’d involve himself with so he’d carry on to the opposite side of the unknown boy. Upon reaching his destination he dropped onto the grassy area, sitting with his legs crossed and his hand on either knee almost in a meditative posture, attempting to channel chakra down to both of his hands keeping them in a coated state. He knew it was trial and error as he kept losing control or the Chakra either the coat would become too thick in one area and to thin in another, he gritted his teeth each time this happened but closed his eyes inhaled and tried another attempt.-





Satiru: Hirito grabbed his scabbard and slid his Katana into it as he stepped out from his door, he sighed as he looked up towards the sky " Cloudy huh? Well thats a shame. I was hoping for some sun today " He swept his light blonde hair to the side as he began to walk slowly towards the training grounds in which he went almost everyday. He first had to pick up some food supplies from the usual stall in which he went to, being his usual self he greeted more or less everyone which he saw on the way smiling and waving at them one by one. He eventually made to the shall and he licked his lips seeing the selection of goods he could purchase infront of him " Hmmmm so much choice today, i'll have 4 dumplins please!" He ordered in a friendly manner giving the stall owner the money needed before making the exchange.Hirito needed to train in something different today he had mastered all of the jutsu which he had trained in before and he thought that he needed to bring something else to his arsenal, searching his brain for ideas he finally found a jutsu worth trying " Ah! Wind Release: Vacuum Serial Waves, that would be great in my arsenal!" Hirito carried on walking towards the training arena, searching his mind once more for the hand signs of the jutsu which he had read in a scroll in his fathers library. He tried multiple different variations before he finally got the correct one " Yes thats it! Rat → Snake → Horse → Snake → Dog" He practiced this various multiple times before trying it a few times on a nearby tree before eating a dumplin to replenish the lost chakra. " B Rank jutsus aint no pushovers i guess but all i have to do is train" He eventually made his way to the training arena. His eyes squinted as he saw another shinobi sitting on the ledge he started to make his way towards him slowly noticing that he was quite young, infact around the same age as Hirito. He then noticed another shinobi walking in the same direction, with Hiritos eyes still squinted he could see the destinct feature of which looked like Byakugan eyes. He continued his path towards both of the other shinobi whilst shouting greetings towards them both " Hello there! I'm guessing you 2 are here to train today? "





Heki: The area kept its quiet and peaceful atmosphere upon the first individual arriving, a well-composed individual easily recognized as a member of the esteemed Hyuga clan. Akira would offer a polite nod in greeting and then lowered his eyes back to the scroll after seeing the other taking up a meditative position.-Refreshing to see. I wish there more Genin as serious as him.- Each continued to mind their own business for the time being, both most likely well aware of the understanding that they were to train together after seeing to their own tasks. At least until the quiet atmosphere was disturbed by the presence of a loud Genin whom Akira wasn’t familiar with. The white-haired boy voiced a sigh and rolled his scroll up before shoving it in the container by his feet. “One would think so. Seeing as this is the training area.” Said the genin, with a tone of sarcasm to his voice, before smirking as he placed the filled container on the ledge, and hopped off into the ring. “I was wishing to read a little more. But why wait.” Akira then turned to the Hyuga and awaited some form of eye-contact before proceeding ; “Jump in whenever you’re finished.”. Akira walked to the east side of the circle of stone that had a 12 yard diameter and motioned for the loud Genin to take place on the opposite side; causing the Hyuga to be between them, if he hadn’t moved. Whether this was done on purpose, or not, remained a mystery for anyone but the white haired boy who frowned in concentration. “My name is Akira. Remember it well.” And on that note, he formed the tiger handseal to create two water clones, each identical to the original, standing on either side of him; each of these clones held 1/10th the power of the original. “Let’s begin.”. One of the clones dashed forth and jumped over the Hyuga, if he was still meditating, while performing a mid-air summersault, touching the ground again in full motion to dash straight at the loud one; aiming to attack him (Satiru) with a number of jabs and simple kicks while trying to sidestep around said adversary.





Damien: -Dante was really quite contempt with the peacefulness of this area, a glimmer of respect for the other Genin who was sat opposite him, quickly noticing another person, I mean it was pretty hard to miss him with the shouting. Dante’s eyes opened to meet the eyes of the new Genin which appeared, nodding slightly to him as to welcome him to the area before going back to what he was doing, seemingly ignoring the other two attempting to see what they did to each other before him. As Akira stood and leaped into the ring, Dante’s eyes followed him watching him around round the ring a little, as the Genin spoke again about remembering his name the glimmer of respect quickly faded, even Dante was much like him in that way of saying things out loud, making sure people remembered who he was and where he was from. His eyes noticing the seal that Akira formed, quickly two clones appeared beside the Genin and one started to charge towards the Hyuga, as the Clone leaped the Hyuga fell back onto the grass kicking upwards with his feet while pressing his hands flat against the grass either side of his head for a to kick up into a standing position after the clone had already started running towards the Genin behind him. Having already landing on his feet, his knees bent a little as he took a stance, his left palm moving to be pointed towards Akira, and the other palm moving to be pointed at the clone behind him, the stance giving him a option of moves he could do to attack or defend against anything coming for him from this point. “Sure, I’ll join your games.” He almost sounded happy, you’d think he was if not for the emotionless features, vein’s slowly started creeping cross the pale skin of his face, the the pupil in his eye which there was lack of before now defined as if it had tensed, Dante now had an almost 360 degree view on both of the Genin, his head facing away from both of them in the middle, keeping them away from his blind spot.-





<p class="MsoNormal">Heki: “Excellent.” Smirked the white haired Shinobi, joined by the clone behind him, while the other clone had met with the loudmouth. For now, Akira wouldn’t pay him any attention as he didn’t seem too threatening or interesting, especially compared to the Hyuga. “I guess we both knew this was about you and me.”. He could see the Hyuga’s stance which was something new to him. –An open palmed fighting style?- Akira narrowed his eyelids and cupped his hands together. His clone followed suit and both their cupped hands would be filled by a blue liquid as they spoke out in unison “Water Weapon Technique.”. The clone formed a sledgehammer of sorts in its hands, made of water, with a large head that lacked the weight of its real counterpart but still packed a heavy punch. The real Akira formed a shortbow in his left hand while jumping up on his clones shoulders, careful to land softly, and then drew back on the thin string of luminescent water to form an arrow or water between his right-hand index finger and thumb. The arrow felt like solid to his touch even though it looked like water taking up a set shape. He pulled back a little more, reaching maximum tenseness, and closed one eye while focusing on the Hyuga with the other. –Now then… how will you approach.- Meanwhile the third clone happy slapped the living shit out of the loudmouth genin who was knocked out on the ground; said clone then took the poor fella off to the hospital after (sorry for GM) the Hyuga and Akira just shook their heads in disbelief.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Damien: Dante’s stance was seeming solid as a stand still defence which he thought himself to be best at, seeing both weapons form a sledgehammer and a bow, it was quite strange, what was stranger was the boy leaping onto the shoulders on the clone (Which Dante’s kept track of as not to lose which one was which.) At the same time he seen the clone behind him starting to lay the other Genin out, he couldn’t help but shake his head as the other water clone carried the boy off to get help. The young Hyuga didn’t even flicker, charging the boy with a full sprint, his eyes kept a watch on everything around the boy he’d see anything sneaky the boy tried to do, his hands behind him as ninja’s ran being prepared to move as needed. Dante’s plan was to run past the Clone with the boy on it’s shoulders completely, hoping the boys and the clones natural instinct was to turn to get a view on the Hyuga which would be moving into the peripheral vision of the clone. If the clone turned Dante would throw a punch towards the cheek of the water clone, opening the chakra points in his fist to send a wave of his chakra through the clone using his fight style Gentle Fist, in a hope that the clone would collapse in on itself from the impact. If the clone had indeed collapsed on itself, Dante would jump back taking a defensive stance with both hands out infront of him all the while on the lookout for how the boy would react on the now collapsing shoulders.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Heki: -He’s fast….- Akira continued to adjust his aim while the opponent approached but found no good moment to release and before he knew it, he was being sped past, causing him and his clone to turn around instinctively at which the clone was smashed in the face; unable to bring the hammer up in time. Akira, however, jumped up while having looked down to see the blow coming, spacing himself from the clone that fell apart in water, while releasing the string of his bow to send an arrow speeding downwards at high speed. The arrow made of water acted as a solid and held great piercing capability; it whistled through the air while aiming to fly into, or through, the Hyuga’s left upper-leg. Then, only after it had hit or missed, Akira drew back on the string again which caused the old arrow to dissolve in water while a new arrow formed in Akira’s finger. He touched ground again about 4 yards away from the Hyuga and crouched down slightly while releasing between two and four more arrows if the Hyuga was to approach again; aiming for the legs.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Damien: As the Byakugan was active Dante seen the boy jump into the air as the clone before him turned into nothing but water, splashing on the stone before him making for a slight slippery surface. Moving his feet around in the water below him the soles of his shoes became soaked, creativing less friction with the stone ground, this less friction allowed him to somewhat glide his foot across the floor into a spinning motion, avoiding the falling arrow leaving it stuck in the ground. The moment the arrow hit the ground the boy landed, with Dante’s spin the boy would’ve been about 5 feet in front of him now, the other arrow turning to water once again soaking Dante’s soles acting like a very small lubricant between the sole and the stone ground. As the boy crouched Dante never losing vision, he took a slow paced walk towards the boy at first, careful not to flip, it quickly became a jog. As the arrows headed in his direction Dante moving in a manning of spinning back and forth, the water making it easier, but he could feel the friction rapidly coming back, the first arrow came towards him, he spinned left, all the while moving in a forward motion towards the boy, the second arrow came, and Dante did the same but recoiling the pin into a right spin still moving forward, but this time the water from the bottom of his feet was no longer helping him, his hands had been tucked into his body allowing for a faster spin while this had been going on. As the third arrow was drawn back Dante had moved right hand to the side of his hip, aiming to time it perfectly with the arrow,knocking it up over his right shoulder, the arrow would catch the edge of Dante’s shoulder causing him to have a mild scratch which slowly turned the surrounding white tunic red. Now Dante would be in front of the boy if he hadn't have moved quickly after that arrow, bringing his left palm into a full force downward left to right thrust toward the boy's shoulder, aiming to land a full forced hit, the hit itself would dislocate the shoulder of the boy, Dante wouldn’t have used any chakra in the blow either. Either way if Dante’s hit would have landed or not, he’d have jumped back about two feet, preparing himself, panting as all the maneuvering he just did took it out of him slightly; but with the added duration of the Byakugan include he’d be pretty beat about it the byakugan slowly crawling its way back into slumber.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Heki: A light flinch overtook Akira’s visage each time he saw the Hyuga move. -How is he keeping up with my arrows… perhaps it has something to do with those unusual eyes. What are they?- Questioning what was happening the Genin was but left with his own with in order to figure out how to best fight this exceptional opponent who flowed through the arrows with minimal damage; a cut to the shoulder, before standing in front of Akira. Akira, in turn, could barely manage pushing himself to the side in a side-roll to the right; feeling the Hyuga’s hand hit the outside of his upper left arm, bruising the flesh under his top. However, coming out of the tuck and roll, Akira already had another arrow drawn and aimed to shoot it in the side of the Hyuga’s left knee. Whether it had hit, or missed, Akira back flipped two times to space himself 3 yards further from the Hyuga, and dropped the bow from his hands which turned back to water. –I should give this a try.- Slower than normal, due to being un-familiarized with the Jutsu, Akira began weaving the following handseals; <span style="font-size:9pt;line-height:115%;font-family:Meiryo,sans-serif;background:rgb(242,242,242);">Tiger → Ox → Dragon → Hare → Dog → Bird → Rat → Clone seal → Dragon → Ram. Before producing a stream of water with something that resembled a fin on the top; but 1ft wide and slowly moving. It moved towards the Hyuga but all of the water splashed onto the ground before it could even make contact. –I guess using a B-rank jutsu won’t come this easy.- Akira thought as he began to plan his next move while panting due to the effort of his previous attempt.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9pt;line-height:115%;font-family:Meiryo,sans-serif;background:rgb(242,242,242);">

<p class="MsoNormal">Damien: Dante’s feeling his blow not land fully proceeded to jump back about two feet, already seeing an arrow being fired as his Byakugan was deactivating not that he needed it right now as he eyes could easily follow the roll of the young boy, but the full sight helped. Watching carefully as the boy started to backflip away even more, Dante seen the hands forming seals but he couldn’t really make out which with his eyes the way they where right now. Suddening a mass of water with what appeared to have a fin atop of it appeared and started to move towards Dante that instant, Dante’s left leg dropped back his right moving forward, his forearms crossing into a defensive stance once more, but luckily for him the mass seemed to be leaking and by the time it reached about half way it had became nothing. It reminded him of his own problems -Is this kid having problems like me? I guess everybody goes through them eh?- He thought to himself, still panting attempting to quickly catch his breath. Taking off again into a run, as not fast as before but still enough to shorten the gap between them in a manner of time, Dante aimed to unleash a flurry of blows with both his left and right arm, his hands within his blows being closed fingers and thumbs with his index and middle finger extended fully. Each of the strikes aimed at a different Chakra point in Akira’s torso, the strikes themselves weren't all that strong but as they connected it would forced a little of Dante’s chakra into Akira’s system with each blow. If more than 3 to 4 of the 9 jabs thrown where to connect and land on their spot Akira would find it harder, the stance Dante took in front of the boy allowed for an easy retreat if needed.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Heki: -As expected.- The opponent took the opening provided by Akira’s failure and came at the white-haired genin again. This time, however, Akira was still catching his breath and wouldn’t be able to just dodge so easily seeing as the opponent’s flurry wouldn’t have allowed for such nonsense. Instead he raised his arms defensively and fended off a number of strikes by hard-blocking, using his fists, against the opponents wrists to throw some attacks off course. However, Akira still found himself hit several times and was knocked back by the last blow; causing him to slide over the ground before coming to a grinding halt while feeling a throbbing pain spread through his torso. He immediately tried to create a new water clone by forming the hand seal but something was off… his chakra didn’t respond as normal. “What did you do?” Akira looked up in shock and felt over his chest as if there should be something stuck to him to cause these effects. –Shit… well if I can’t freely mold chakra, I’ll have to be creative.-  He quickly dashed back, opening the space between them, and weaved three new handseals without kneading chakra inside his stomach, instead sending his chakra out to manipulate the water used by his last jutsu and the puddles left by his clones. Thanks to them fighting on there, there was quite a large amount of water left at Akira’s  disposal which quickly gathered off the ground and spun in a torrent, with a 4 yard width, that rushed towards the Hyuga’s back to aim and deliver a great deal of sudden force that could possibly even damage the opponent internally while definitely delivering concussive external damage. “Water Bullet Technique” This attempt, however, left Akira without any further water to use and for the time being molding chakra into water inside his body was going to be too hard. Instead, he took three senbon from his ninja pouch and held them like claws between his right-hand fingers; crossing his right arm over his chest and crouching down while staring over his am with narrowed eyes.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Damien: Dante was really feeling it now, at this point sweat had started to form all over his body, his entire body felt sticky to him, his hair once perfectly straight starting to get clumpy, the only thing keeping his face clair was the forehead protector. Hearing the Genin speak to him asking what he had done, the Hyuga did nothing but make a little grunting noise as to show his arrogance, seeing the Genin put space between them again. Before he knew it a wave of water approached him from behind he sharply turned to face the water wall, quickly stepping into, thrusting at it with both palms flat towards it. “Gentle Fist Art: One Blow Body!” With a quick grunt as he spoke, forcing everything he had left to the surface opening the chakra points all over the front of his body towards the wall, carving out his own body shape in the water as he passes by him, Falling to his knee quickly after the water had passed him, panting as sweat dripped from his face and down his chin, a clear sign that he needed more training, he spoke out in a failed attempt at a calm voice “I think It’s over for today Akira.” Standing to his feet, looking over to the crouched Shinobi. “My name is Dante Hyuga.” The hyuga child quickly turned away from the boy this was basically giving Akira his regards and respect, reaching his hand to the hurt shoulder applying pressure to stop the little bleed, one foot after another climbing from the arena and walking into the shrubbery which outlined the training grounds.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Heki: With a sigh of relief, Akira dropped the Senbon from his hand and exhaled loudly. He had to keep up a tough front and ready to deal with a possible attack, but truth be told he was pretty worn out himself and didn’t like the prospect of continuing this fight without being able to use jutsu properly. Akira clasped a hand over his left upper arm and coughed from the throbbing pain in his shoulder as he nodded towards the genin now known to be Danta Hyuga. A minor smile on Akira’s lips as he bowed his head in respect, went to collect his scroll, and staggered off towards Konoha. “I wonder…. Are they the strongest clan of the leaf? And could I learn how to fight like that….” He sighed, remembering how Dante had moved, and knew that he could never follow such motion. “I’ll just have to stick with what I now.” He said, as a drop of water grew on his index finger and he disappeared in the forest on his way back home.
