 * HitomiHyuga Wiping her hand over her face, Hitomi felt the warm metal over her face while she was just trying to get moving a bit more. It’s true that she had been up for hours now, but some times it was like there was just no time that she had actually felt awake. Through the course of the early morning hours, she’d done everything from washing her face to walking along the wall on the outside of the Hyuga Compound. There was just no getting rid of this fatigue. Perhaps she had been doing too much and needed a bit of a break. “That would be a start, Hitomi. You haven’t stopped since you started.” She said to herself softly as she held a scroll in her other hand. Her mother, Miyako, had been called in to the Hospital today and had handed Hitomi the scroll for her to start her next round of Training. “I can only imagine what it would be.” She said softly while entering the training grounds. Thus far, there was no one there. The quiet had made the young woman smile as she walked over to the water and sat beside it.

Her eyes looked to the water that shimmered in the light of the sun and for some reason it brought back a memory that she hadn’t thought about in a long time. She saw herself walking along the top of the water and looking back to the man she called ‘Buggy Sensei’ though his true name was Shinyuu Aburame. She heard him tell her to spin like a top as fast as she could and try to let her chakra start from the bottom of her feet and begin to expel from all areas of her body. She remembered the training sessions with him and the touch. A man so afraid to touch the world felt comfortable enough to touch her. She didn’t understand why, but they had shared a few meals after training sessions. It was because of this man that she was able to stand up. Well one of the reasons. But it was because of him that she was still alive. He had taught her Rotation Heaven. Something that had saved her life on more than one occasion.

 She smiled softly and chuckled lightly before dropping her head down to look at the ground. Her eyes then moved to the scroll that she had brought with her. Picking it up, she’d untie the cord and begin to open it. She’d notice the Hyuga Clan crest on the upper right corner as she began to unroll it in her hands as the center laid upon her lap. Her eyes then went over the parchment as she looked to the name of the jutsu. Eight Trigrams: Vacuum Palm. She’d nod slowly as she began reading over it. 20:22, April 26, 2016
 * Yukiusagi4477 The air was cool and fresh in the woods as the brown haired girl moved from one tree branch to another at her top speed. Narrowly avoiding several branches at head level, the female hit the ground and sprinted off. After about an hour more of this the girl slowed to a jog then a fast walk as she made her way to the training grounds. She wanted to work on using her earth spear on a single limb then activating her cloak and the earth spear at the same time. She figured if she could harden her body while in the cloak, it would not only add to her offensive abilities but also her defensive ones. Looking at her glove clad hand, Yuki pushed some chakra into it, then focused on the feel of it flowing from her core then trough her arm to the focal point in her palm. She hadn't been paying much attention to her surroundings, letting her bare-feet do the work for her, when she entered the training grounds and felt another's presence. Looking up she saw her friend and team mate Hitomi.

"Hitomi-chan!!" Yuki called as she forgot her hand, the chakra diapering, and rushed over to the girl, giving her a happy and questioning look. "What is that?" 20:54, April 26, 2016
 * HitomiHyuga 

Looking up from the scroll that she had begun to study, the pearlesque hues fell on her teammate and trusted friend. “Usagi-chan!” She said with a gentle wave of her hand. She was never one to make a huge sound or go over the top about anything but her face shown with her happiness at seeing her friend. She met the golden hues of her rabbit and watched as she came over to her. Her eyes looked down to the scroll and a soft smile crossed her face while she looked to the old writing. “This is a scroll for another Gentle Palm technique. Okasaan gave it to me learn since she had to go into work today.” Looking up from the parchment, she smiled warmly to the girl. “What brings you here?” She said as she guided back some strands of hair from her face with her metallic fingertips. 21:27, April 26, 2016 21:49, April 26, 2016 22:03, April 26, 2016 22:28, April 26, 2016
 * Yukiusagi4477 Yuki was pleased at the greeting she received. Smiling more she took a seat next to the Hyuga and looked at the scroll, not understanding anything it said. Scratching the back of her head she told the female what had brought her to the training grounds. "I want to try to use my earth spear and my cloak at the same time, but first I have to work on only hardening a single part of my body. I have been trying, but still harden everything, instead of the limb or area I want." She explained, once more looking at her fist and frowning as she pushed some chakra into it and watched it shimmer in the light. She kept her golden hues on her hand as she asked, "Are you going to try to learn that technique today?"
 * HitomiHyuga Hitomi looked to her friend and nodded her head. "It's a Clan tradition for the Main house members to be fluient in all techniques that belong to the Gentle Fist fighting style." Her eyes looked over the parchment once more and she bit her lower lip slightly as she went over the ancient writing. "With no one knowing what happened with Dante, I'm next in line for Clan Leader. I can't afford to not learn everything that I possibly can while I'm young and be an expert of it by the time I am older." She looked over to see the shimmering over her friend's skin. "Still practicing the chakra flow stuff that Seika-Sensei has been teaching us?"
 * Yukiusagi4477 <p style="margin-top:0px!important;margin-bottom:0px!important;">"The next clan head... I wouldn't have guessed you had such a responsibility on your shoulders, but I think you will be a great leader." Yuki said as she increased the chakra out-put frowning as it seemed to simply harden more and make her hand heavier. "Yeah, I am trying to figure out what I am doing wrong, and why I cant seem to send the Earth spear jutsu to a single point, instead of my whole being. I think I am close, but can't seem to get it right. So I am working on my chakra to see if the answer is there." Yuki answered her voice mulling over her thoughts as she glanced once more at her friend. "Do you think there is anything I can try? I would like some help, if you are okay with helping me. And I can try to help you, though I don't know if I will be of any use." She was a little embarrassed to ask for assistance, but she like Hitomi and knew the girl might be the key.

The execution seemed easy enough, it was just a matter of making it happen. Looking up to Yuki, she smiled and tilted her head a bit. “Well, I guess when it comes to chakra, you’ve come to the right person.” She said light heartedly and stood. Taking a few steps away from Yuki, she took a moment to focus on her own chakra. It would begin to ball up in her hand as she pulled her right hand back while the ball of chakra only grew in her hand. Then with a quick thrust forward, the chakra only flowed slightly from her hand and she pressed her lips together. She’d look then to Yuki and thought about what she had asked. “Have you tried to imagine it as if you built it like a dirt castle like when we were younger? One pile of dirt at a time until it covers the whole area you are trying?” 22:38, April 26, 2016 23:24, April 26, 2016
 * Yukiusagi4477 <p style="margin-top:0px!important;margin-bottom:0px!important;">Yuki watched her, the listened to her words. "I never made sand castles,not too many people or kids would hang out with me until you and Ryouta. But I get what you're saying. I will try it. Anything I can help you figure out?" After asking her question, Yuki closed her eyes and focused her chakra. Picturing a pile of sand, she imagined it was her chakra. Slowly she formed the seal of the snake, holding back her charka back, trying to build it on her left arm. In her mind she was the wind, blowing the sand into a different pile, which was her arm. She kept the chakra moving at a slow and steady pace. On the outside her body began to discolor and harden, then it seemed to shrink slowly down and over to her arm. Just as the discolored skin reached her shoulder, it seemed to explode back over her body, returning to the whole earth spear. Opening her eyes, she frowned a little at her arm, wondering what she had done wrong. Looking to Hitomi she raised an eyebrow, as she said "I was close I think."

<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:1.38;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">Hitomi smiled and watched as the girl’s skin slowly crept over with discoloration. She had taken the moment that Yuki was concentrating to step back once more and pool her chakra into her hand. Her tenketsu released chakra into her hand in a steady stream that she focused to pool into the palm of her hand. That part, she got. She was able to do that with ease constantly. It didn’t take much chakra to do it either. She then thrust her hand forward once more and just like the last time, she saw the ball of chakra move from her hand and just fizzle and die. The girl pursed her lips together and looked back to Yuki just in time to see her whole body turn into the earth spear. Thinking about the chakra flow training that they had been going through, she took a moment to apply it to what they were doing. “ When I was training my lightning chakra, Sensei said to only take it up as far as I felt comfortable. Perhaps you’re trying to move it too far too fast. Just concentrate on the small areas first. Then when you are able to do that, then move it up your arm. But just start with your hand for now. Like you’re placing on a glove that goes up to your mid forearm.” 01:11, April 27, 2016 01:45, April 27, 2016
 * Yukiusagi4477 <p style="margin-top:0px!important;margin-bottom:0px!important;">Nodding Yuki thought about it, then looked at the girl. "With our First chakra flow training, remember how sensei told us to hold the chakra even after the kunai left our hands? Maybe applying that tacit would help?" After saying that Yuki focused her chakra and formed the snake seal. Letting the chakra flow through her body for a moment, she then visualized the earth spear every where but her right hand. As if pulling off a glove, the skin on her fingers up to her wrist became their normal color. Holding this for a few seconds to get used to the feel, she then thought of the chakra like a piece of cloth, slowly unwrapping it from her arm, a little at a time. On the outside, her right arm was becoming natural as the discoloration resided up to her shoulder. Looking to Hitomi she smiled, happy that part of her was normal while the rest was hard as diamond.
 * HitomiHyuga <p style="margin-top:0px!important;">

<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:1.38;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">Once more Hitomi focused on her hand. She brought it to the side of her and allowed chakra to build in it. Once more, it was the thing that was the easiest. Taking a deep breath, she focused on the ball of chakra that was in her hand and felt it running over her hand. It was something that she was used to feeling. The warmth of it, the weight of it. It was hers and natural. Thrusting her arms forward once more, she’d push it from her only this time, it stayed formed for a bit. Not too long and it wasn’t very big. However it was a start. With a soft nod to herself, the young woman looked up to her friend and smiled brightly seeing how she was making her own progress. “Well done, Usagi-chan.” She brought her hands up and clapped them for her. The metal of her fingers was heard with a clank, clank, clank. “That’s it. Slow. Easy. There is no hurry and you have all the time you need.” 02:12, April 27, 2016 03:03, April 27, 2016
 * Yukiusagi4477 <p style="margin-top:0px!important;margin-bottom:0px!important;">"Thank you Hitomi-chan." Yuki said She had been deactivating her earth spear every time she looked at Hitomi, to see how she was doing. Seeing her succeed just a little cause the girl to jump up and down, giggling as she exclaimed "You did it... sort of! I can't wait to see it when you master it." After watching the girl a few more minutes Yuki reactivated her earth spear and started her imagery again. This time the discolored skin receded all the way to her chest, leaving only her right arm, her legs and her head a muted grey. It felt good, and right, like she was walking a familiar path or eating her favorite food. Staying focused she slowly made the discoloration move from her head to her neck and up her legs to her knees. Holding this for a moment she released the jutsu and went to the stream for a drink.

<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;line-height:1.38;"><span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">Hitomi looked to Yuki and smiled with a soft laugh hearing the ‘sort of.’ She looked down to her hand and once more pooled her chakra. “Neither can I, Usagi-chan. Neither can I.” Her focus continued to be on the orb of chakra that was being expelled from her hand. Rearing back her hand, she’d thrust it forward. The ball of chakra thrust forward a bit and then once more fizzled. Resting her hands down at her sides a moment, she’d look to the girl as she made progress of her own. It was a good feeling to know that she was doing her job as Chuunin Leader when it came to Yuki. She wanted to guide her so much and help her in whatever way she could to be the person she was meant to be. How she saw herself. 03:32, April 27, 2016 08:23, May 2, 2016 12:03, May 2, 2016 04:20, May 3, 2016
 * Yukiusagi4477 <p style="margin-top:0px!important;margin-bottom:0px!important;">Yuki took a couple swallows of water then moved back to the place she was standing, slightly across and to the right of Hitomi. Smiling at her she looked at the sky as she said, "You know i fell like I can do what ever I want, reach any goal, because I have you to help me. I can also protect you, just as you protect me, and that makes all the training worth it." Yuki then closed her eyes formed the seal of the snake and once more began her training. This time she managed to reduces the discoloration to just her right arm. squealing in joy she jumped around a couple times, doing a little happy hop.
 * HitomiHyuga <p style="margin-top:0px!important;margin-bottom:0px!important;">Hitomi stopped what she had been doing and looked to her teammate as she spoke. Softly she smiled and looked to the ground with a slight blush coming over her cheeks. In a round about way, she now knew what Takuza felt like when they had spent time together and trained. "I am honored that you think that way about me, Usagi-chan. Nothing will bring me more happiness then to help you in your goals and watch you achieve them." She said with a soft and reasuring smile before taking a deep breath and regaining her focus. Once more the chakra pooled in her hand causing her hand to turn a violet in color with the aura around it. She focused on it and this time walked over to stand in front of a sparring dummy. Perhap she needed something to focus it on. Her eyes were on the dummy as her hand swirled with flowing chakra. Then she thrust it forward. The ball of chakra left her hand and went only a few feet before it fizzled out but it was atleast a start. She'd look to the celebration that Yuki was doing and giggled softly. It made her happy to know that her teammate was making progress in her skill when just a short while ago, she had been so upset over the idea that she was getting no better.
 * Yukiusagi4477 <p style="margin-top:0px!important;margin-bottom:0px!important;">Yuki watched the other female and smiled, then noticed the time. " I have to go Hitomi-chan. My adoptive brother seems to be a little freaked out if I am not home in time to make dinner. Can we meet here again to morrow and continue training together?" The girl asked. After receiving her answer she hugged Hitomi then ran off, heading back to her home.
 * HitomiHyuga <p style="margin-top:0px!important;margin-bottom:0px!important;">Hitomi smiled and gave a nod. "Of course, Usagi-chan. I'll make lunch for us too." She said with a smile and hugged the young woman tightly before watching her head off. With a soft smile, she picked up the scroll that was given to her and rolled it up. Placing it in her side pouch, she'd begin her own walk home. It was a nice evening to enjoy the air and perhaps she'd do it from the top of the Hokage building where a fond memory was held.
