Vain: The young female trudged against the villages rooftops, the child’s speed growing even faster with her training. With chakra connected to her feet she’d jump and flip her body into the air with expertise. The childs white locks danced violently with the wind. Upon Yasu’s cheek was a bandage, covering just as much of the bruise as she could. The young Hatake didn’t want to be questioned about it, this way hopefully it was easier. The child spun, her longer white hair spiraling around her as she landed. Yasu’s hair was only a bit longer now, resting just past her shoulders. Quickly the child continued sprinting through the village. Soon she almost ran into someone but with a quick pivot, she spun her body out of the way and continued forwards. ‘The exams are so close!’ radiated in her mind, causing a large smile to rest on her face. For once the child showed emotion…excitement. Within a few moments she made her way to the training grounds and with little effort she flipped herself over the gate, landing flawlessly near the center of the field. The onyx eyes shifted around, making sure no one was around. Slowly, she unzipped her top; leaving her in a fishnet top. With a flick of her wrist she tossed the jacket onto a tree branch. Yasu bent her neck side to side, allowing a cracking noise to radiate around her. Next she cracked her fingers, and allowed a soft exhale to leave her lips. The female slowly bent her legs and held her palms out in front of her. The pale eyelids slid shut as she began to collect chakra to her hands. As she did that slow sparks began to surge from her hands. The focus was hard, but it was similar to Electromagnetic Murder. This was the first time Yasu had begun to work on it. With having a Hyuga on her team she would know the stances, the hard gestures. They weren’t perfected, but it was something she was willing to work on. Slowly the eyelids parted and small onyx irises glared at the tree in front of her. With a violent thrust she slammed her palm into the tree, upon contact a violent surge of lightning left an imprint on the hard wood of the tree. Quickly she pivoted her feet, her arm swinging as she delivered another assault upon the tree. The child continued moving rather quickly, her body causing craters to appear upon the hard bark. Quickly, she jumped back. ‘There it is…But I need more chakra. That’s the only way.’ Yasu’s lips pursed. ‘If I can get good at controlling chakra I can use this during the exams, perhaps even something different.’



Expo: Takuza would walk out the door his Uchiha shirt upon his torso and his shinobi grey shorts as well. His long black silky hair danced to the wind as he had just left his home to reach Yasu. He had promised to train with her today, after all he was a man of his words. Walking calmly towards the training field he would hope to find Yasu there first. After all she was training to get stronger not Takuza training for himself to get stronger. He calmly reached the gates before glancing at the guards and saying “Just the usual fellas.” The guards nodded in respect to Takuza as they knew he was truly a dedicated shinobi. His femiine like appearance causing all the women within the vicinity to stop and listen to him talk as they considered him dreamy. He ignored all of them, he personally wasn’t interested in women as he found them annoying to a certain extent depending on their purpose in the village. He sighed as he walked off into the distance attracting all this attention. He reached the training grounds seeing Yasu hard at work attempting to learn her jutsu. His eyes glancing softly at her as he was happy she took her training very seriously. After all the Chuunin exams were nearby and she needed to improve and fast, Takuza then approached her and said “Greetings Yasu!” His voice being joyful and happy as he never showed emotions of sadness. His eyes showing a glimpse of happiness as he was proud Yasu was taking her training very seriously. He then added to his statement “So what are you training on today Yasu?” He asked with a large grin across his face before she responded. It was almost perfectly added to his greetings. He then stood in place and watched Yasu continue until she would be able to turn around and address him directly as he didn’t want to be an interruption to her focus as he only greeted her and asked her what she was doing here.



Vain: A familiar voice met the young Hatake’s ears, though she wouldn’t turn to address him right away. The small hands moved in a circular motion before they met side to side, one more violent thrust and a cracking sound was heard from inside the tree. A heavy sigh left her lips as the lightning vanished from her hands. Slowly Yasu turned around, looking up at him. The wind blew her hair behind her, the band aide on her cheek becoming visible. The female actually met Takuza with a large smile rather than her normally dull expression. “Hello Takuza-sensei.” She responded with a slight bow. Yasu’s hand rested on her hip as she looked at the tree that seemed very unstable. “Well…I was watching Dante. Kinda saw the way Hyuga bodies moved. I decided to develop something similar with lightning.” She paused, a soft yawn leaving her lips. “I was thinking of calling it Lightning palm or..something like that.” Yasu chuckled slightly as she itched the back of her head. “Chakra concentration is…tedious.” A sigh of frustration left her lips as she shook her head. “I’ve read about the shadow clone tecnique and…with the thunder first I think it’s a good combination for the exams.” The silver haired Hatake gave Takuza a look of determination. “I’m already fast, If I train in other areas I might be better off then a lot of Genin. I need to graduate.” She stated, her brows furrowing. The child had been speaking a lot more to Takuza ever since their first meeting. If anything could help her achieve her goals it would be Takuza. The wind blew the other way, pushing the silver locks into her face. With a huff of frustration she pushed her hair back…This time she pulled her band aide off on accident. Yasu’s expression dropped as she stared at him in shock.



Expo: Takuza listened to Yasu carefully as she explained how she was watching Dante and his techniques following his movements. She explained that she was working on her jutsu something similar to what Dante does. He smirked lightly at her determination, he then responded “I see so your own variant of his palm technique?” He replied in a calm manner showing his interest in it as it could be a trump card at the tightest position. He smiled and responded “Alright so how exactly do you intend on making this jutsu effective? What is it exactly meant to do? You must think of its contribution before just making the jutsu.” He mentioned in a serious tone as he was trying to be serious and honestly with her. He needed to get her to understand the use of the jutsu wasn’t to just flash it around. He sighed and decided to give her a situation as an example “For example, what if this jutsu only covers a short range and you need long range? How will it be effective? How can it work with your team? There are so many positions in which a jutsu like this is ineffective.” He said this mostly because she was a genin and she needed to know that team work was everything at her point of power. He smirked but he did say “The idea is still good though.” He mentioned to keep her hopes up of still learning it. He was just giving her an observation of a glimpse of how a jounins would think, because soon she would eventually reach his rank and need to worry. He then noticed the band aid over her face as he didn’t really want to ask where it came from his own opinion would range to thinking she got it from training. But she would allow her to express what happened herself as he would look at the band aid and show signed of interest in what happened. He noticed the band aid fall to the ground as he noticed a bruise and then asked “What happened to your face?” He asked waiting for her response.



Vain: The male seemed rather happy that Yasu had been working so hard, but the thing that caused the child to freeze up with his question about her face. The childs throat went dry, and she tried hard to swallow the spit in her mouth. The question itself was one she knew was coming, but she still couldn’t process it. Yasu’s eyes instantly broke away from Takuza, her hands moving to her pockets. “Well.” She paused, biting on her lip for a moment. “My..mother and I got into a fight.” She stated. The sentence was bland but it provided enough, Yasu was sure of that. It wouldn’t stop a sour taste to reside in the child’s mouth. “It’s…common, so don’t worry about it.” She added. Last thing she needed was him to /do/ something about it. Yasu’s mother was insane since her father took off. Heavy drinking, no sleep…Constant pain and stress, Yasu was the perfect target to take all her negative emotions on. If it was physical abuse, it was mental. The woman was completely different from who raised her, a vile despicable woman whose shadow constantly lingered over the small child. Even with such harsh steps to excel the child still wasn’t able to blossom fully. The reality of the situation was this life style provided Yasu with the want to push on, to get better. “Its fine.” She murmured, continuing. This time her voice sounded hindered, upset obviously. The child didn’t even attempt to hide it now, the cat was out of the bag and one of the few people who cared for her was concerned…That was enough for her to be honest. “She goes into rampages and I’m the only thing to take it out on.” It was now Yasu would respond to his questions about the technique. “Yes, I feel like it’s more controlled. Under situations we are in a small hall, or I am cornered it gives me an easy out. It could save one of my teammate’s lives, it I control it more I could not only stop someone’s heart, but restart it. I believe it is worthy of working on. Though I want to work on chakra concentration. I’m lacking in that.”



Expo: Takuza listened to Yasu carefully as she explained the situation with her mother. He figured as much, she had been having problems at home. For quite some time now but she never presented it. The fact she didn’t showed her strong will entirely, Takuza personally had no idea what to say. He then responded to her “Why does she do this to you?” He questioned in a soft manner as he wanted to know why she was going through stuff like this at home. She had never explained it and it personally began bothering Takuza for the simple fact that he knew that if a Genin had problems at home. They would have problems and issues on the field, he then listened to her words as she explained how the jutsu would work to restart ones heart and could be prove to be helpful when a teammate’s heart is stopped. He sighed as she had a point to that regarded as he then added “That might be true, but our goal is to avoid that point happening right?” His voice was calm and gentle as he tried to not startle her. He wanted her to understand how different the shinobi world would be once she turned into a Jounin as she would see things that she would not normally see. After all Takuza had first had experience in this due to him participating in many conflicts in the past especially for missions. His eyes kept cold and straight forward as he then said “But it can be used! The only suggestion I have is you use it at the most unexpected time.” His voice was real and made sense as he was only trying to point out the obvious. Takuza had a point entirely and hoped that Yasu saw it the same way he did.





Vain: “I think it’s…No. I know it is because I still love my father, because I still wait for him to come home. She can’t stand it so she gets drunk and just…” Yasu paused and held her hand to her face, covering her eyes in shame. “She just takes all the aggression out on me. Tells me how worthless I am and that me being a shinobi is a waste of time because I’m a failure.” At this point Yasu was sobbing as she slowly slunk to her knees. “She knows I understand what being a Shinobi means, that I’m point to put my life in harm’s way to save others and she can’t stand it. She knows why I isolate myself. Hell she’s one of the causes.” The girls onyx eyes glared up at Takuza, “and I know if I was open about myself everyone would think of me as the weakest link!” the child began to raise her voice now. “I know you think it…” her head dropped, the mess of grey locks covering her face as she began to actually break down. “I don’t want to fail..” she whimpered, her hands grasping at the grass between them. “I don’t want to be worthless…” she murmured, her body curling forwards. The child had completely let everything out, all the abuse, mental and physical roam free. The girl knew a time would come where she had to be honest and she was scared of it. It made her feel sick, It made her hate herself. All these demons constantly making jabs on her, it was time her Sensei saw her for who she truly was…not the person hiding behind a mask.



Expo: Takuza listened to Yasu explain her feelings as she began crying. It truly bothered him that she was crying because he couldn’t actually make her feel better especially since what was happening wasn’t going to stop any time soon. He sighed in response trying to keep his calm as he felt more uneased than anything else. His eyes glanced back at her as she seemed to be extremely depressed about what was going on. Takuza then said “Life is never meant to be easy, yes you are right something people will pick on you and consider you the weakest link. But in that case you need to get up and combat it! You need to prove you aren’t the weakest link use that as motivation to make you head further. No path is obstructed for improvement because of problems, it’s up to you to make the best of it! Use your mother who kicks you down to motivate you to become a fine shinobi!” He said to her with great confidence and smile across his face, he himself was talking the truth as his own father had abandoned him as well. Though he still became a fine shinobi after all. His statues in the village was in fact so admired that most people knew to flee on sight when it came to a fight against him. The man was a living walking prodigy for every aspect of combat, but a large thanks was due to his clan’s heritage and Kekkei Genkai. These two aspects making Takuza a force to be reckoned with. Takuza had hoped to make her mind at ease with his words he had selected as he needed her to have her head in the game. He then said at the end “You are not the weakest link, I personally never said that because I have high hopes for you.” His voice extended and waited for her response.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Vain: The words struck Yasu with such force her heart skipped a beat. Her sensei was right, about everything, granted it was what she had attempted to do…but everything built up. Eventually she was going to explode, it was better she did so infront of Takuza. With a light sniffle she stood up and pushed herself against him. The young Hatake wrapped her arms around him, giving him a gentle hug. “..Thank you Takuza-Sensei.” She murmured before pulling away with a neutral expression on her face. Though Yasu provided him with a soft smile. “..Thank you for believing in me.” A light laugh left her lips as she shook her head. “I guess..I just needed to let someone know. I’ve been bottling it up for so long.” A lengthy sigh left her lips as she looked back to him. “…Teach me shadow clone jutsu.” She requested, the look of determination stretching on her face. The child felt back on track, ready to move forwards with anything. Nothing was going to stand in her way of graduating. “…Please?” she added with a soft chuckle, her hands pulling a thin cloth over her face. This was the start of her wearing a mask upon her face. The child had broken past the self-doubt, the pain…and she was ready to reach for the sky…she just needed to be sure that she didn’t fly to close to the sun.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Expo: Takuza listened carefully to Yasu as she stood up and hugged him lightly her words ringing to his ears as she said thank you to him. Takuza was explained for her doing such a thing as he knew she needed the motivation or the pep talk so it was more of something you didn’t thank someone for. But Takuza was calm and responded “No problem Yasu.” Before she pushed off of him and thanks him for being someone who believed in her he nodded with a smile and heard her request shortly after. Yasu had asked Takuza to teach her the shadow clone jutsu. He smirked as he himself nodded and responded “I will teach you shadow clone.” He smiled at her and then walked away from her to stand about a few feet, from her. Takuza then told her “You need to focus your chakra deeply and expel it outwards creating a clone. You need to remember you must disperse it equally unless like I read if it’s an elemental natured one it requires less chakra.” He nodded before giving a demonstration, he then weaved the tiger hand seal and dispersed his chakra equally creating a clone from it as he stood exactly next to Takuza. Both him, and the clone began talking at the same time in perfect unison as their words were very clear. “Similar to the original clone jutsu, this one is more advanced as it makes solid copies of yourself making it hard for people with Dojutsu or sensing abilities to tell the difference. This jutsu is very effective in general.” He nodded as he then waited for Yasu to reply to the information he had delivered towards her. Takuza was experienced but he himself had not fully mastered the Shadow clone jutsu, as he was only able to spawn one at a time as he personally was still working on perfecting the usage of the jutsu for his own favor.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Vain: Yasu watched the man carefully as he made the shadow clone, it was amazing how it worked…How identical they had been. When they began talking in unison Yasu’s jaw opened wide which in turn caused her mask to slide down a few inches. Yasu slowly pulled it back up to its original spot. The replication was impeccable. “Wow.” Left her lips as she looked at the clone. Once the male explained the process Yasu nodded and stood and performed the tiger handseal. The female closed her eyes as she allowed a heavy exhale to leave her lips. Inside her body chakra began to flow freely. Yasu’s brows furrowed as her hand shook slightly, in a collection on smoke next to her appeared a clone..but…It wasn’t at all like it should’ve been. The body was laying on the floor, it’s skin pure white. Its didn’t move an inch, and it honestly looked nothing like it was supposed to. “W-What?” she questioned as she turned to inspect the clone. It just sat on the ground like a puppet with no strings. “What did I do wrong?” she questioned as she turned and stared at Takuza. The child was rather perplexed with how things turned out. Normally Yasu could figure it out, but in this circumstance she didn’t get it at all. It was frustrating, but it was a hard technique to learn, Yasu understood that she wasn’t going to pick it up first thing.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Expo: Takuza stood quiet and looked as Yasu while she performed the Jutsu for herself. He kept quiet and watched carefully as she performed the Jutsu and seemed to have failed at it. He only began chuckling which then turned into a real laughter as he found it funny how the clone came out. This was Takuza attempting to make a bond with his student, he was showing he’s a human and could actually laugh. He smirked lightly and heard her asking why her clone came out wrong. Takuza replied to her “This jutsu isn’t something you will get off the bat… You need to keep trying and attempting to disperse the chakra equally to a point that it doesn’t fail. The clone might come out crippled, no eyes, no arms, no feet, no ears, no nails, etc.” He explained thoroughly as there could be different types of failures. He stepped back a few and allowed her space to attempt again as he himself wanted to try a jutsu himself. Doing this he weaved the hand seal tiger attempting to disperse his chakra equally, but in the form of lightning. Doing so he dispersed it as a clone rose from it resembling it worked perfectly fine even without the smoke like last time. His last cone had vanished as he was only able to keep one clone active at a time. Takuza then pulled his arm back and swung it across the clones face attempting to see if it was actually made of lightning as he wanted it to be. Doing so the clones face would tilt towards the side and turn into a cloud of smoke resembling he had failed. “Damn it… this is going to be harder than I expected.” He said looking back to Yasu hoping she would attempt the jutsu once more.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Vain: In a burst of smoke the clone vanished, Yasu listened to her sensei. As he began to laugh, Yasu would as well. It was honestly a hilarious attempt, most likely more so for Takuza considering his skill. Once more Yasu raised the tiger handsign to her chest and with a heavy exhale the female tried again. The clone in question would appear next to her. Again, there was something wrong with this one. For some reason it had pink hair, and a…big nose? Yasu gasped loudly at the atrocity before laughing hysterically. Her hands rested on her knees as she attempted to breath. Slowly, she stood up and dispersed the clone. For a brief moment Yasu watched Takuza, and she would notice even he was learning the jutsu still. “What exactly are you trying to do?” she questioned curiously as she continued to attempt to create a perfect shadow clone. A heavy exhale left her lips as she closed her eyes and performed the jutsu once more. This time she visualized her chakra veins duplicating much like cellular divison. In a cloud of smoke next to her appeared a perfect clone. Yasu’s eyes opened as she turned to look at it. The only difference was it was an inch taller. “W..Wow.” she murmured as she poked at it. The clone in question slapped her hand away before glaring at her. “Ow..” she flashed it a glare before looking back to Takuza.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Expo: Takuza watched as Yasu attempted the Jutsu once more only to fail. He laughed with her as it was quite funny to see her fail at the jutsu, the clone being completely different from the user. He sighed after from relief as he stopped laughing and proceeded to perform his own exercise which had ended also in a failure. He kept his calm and never over reacted, he even directed his attention back to Yasu to see her next cloning attempt. Everything came out fine but she had failed as the size of the clone was larger than her by an inch. He laughed to the expression on Yasu’s face as she seemed unhappy with the way the clone came out. Takuza himself wanted to attempt to try his own lightning clone jutsu once more. He then performed the Tiger hand seal attempting to disperse a fair amount of lightning chakra and summoned a clone from it. Doing this Takuza would then kick the clone directly in the stomach testing if it had any lightning inside of it. To his avail it was another fail as he sighed in disbelief on how hard this next jutsu would be. “I hope this jutsu isn’t extremely hard.” He mentioned in a low inaudible tone. He then sighed as the clone vanished into a cloud of smoke within seconds. He then looked towards Yasu and waited for her to do something. If not Takuza would then say “Well Yasu today you have tried hard enough and you must be drained. We will continue next time!” He said with a smile across his face before ruffling her hair and vanishing into the wind.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Vain: The young Hatake was very tired, and at the end of the day she still failed. With a sigh of defeat she watched Takuza, her head tilting. ‘I wonder what hes doing’ she pondered as she gave the shadow clone technique one more time, this time it was the same result as the first time. With a frustrated sigh she looked up to Takuza, a look of annoyance on her face. At this point the sun began to set, and that alone signified training was over. As Takuza said his goodbyes Yasu would nod slightly and begin leaving the training field. The girl traveled slowly through the town until she reached her home. The house itself was desolate, no movement what so ever. With a heavy sigh she enter the home and retreated to her room where she’d lay face first on her bed and roll into her blanket before falling asleep. <ac_metadata title="Yasu Hatake &amp; Takuza Shadow Clone Trainning"> </ac_metadata>
