Day 2 Training:

Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm

Cloak and Rock Spear 04:28, May 3, 2016 *HitomiHyuga The morning sun had reached over the mountain and began to shine down upon the village of the Hidden Leaf. The birds chirped and began flying from their nests into the air looking for their morning meals. Yet this was still too late in the day for the ‘Byakugan Princess.’ The pearl hued young woman had already been up and one round of training had already come and gone for her. Now she had gone home, showered and was now preparing a picnic lunch for her and her teammate and most trusted friend, Yuki Odotia. Her precious usagi, called such for her animal zodiac, the rabbit. A nice picnic lunch of beef and broccoli with cashews to go over rice was placed into containers then she packed some strawberries for a dessert. A nice lunch for the two of them that she paired up with some iced green tea with peach slices sitting in it giving it some extra flavor. Hitomi packed it all up and smiled some to herself as she then placed the picnic blanket over the top of it all to keep things all secured for her travel to the training grounds just outside the gate.

Her long, onyx hair was pulled back into a high ponytail at the top of her head as she made her movement’s with grace around the kitchen. No longer the shy and clumsy child that she had been that wore her brother's clothes, she now was a respectable young woman. She also felt the weight of responsibility falling upon her shoulders with her brother still not being heard from. It had been over a year and a half and he had not come home yet. Hearing her mother cry at night, she’d look across the way to her brother's room and sigh softly. Now she was being looked at for becoming the next in line for Clan Leader. There was more that she wanted to do in her life then lead the Clan. But it was something that was expected of a child of the Main house.

 Putting her shinobi boots with the custom made running heel, she grabbed her basket of goodies and made her way to the training grounds. It was a walk that felt like she could do it on autopilot as she rounded the corner and walked through the gate. The walk down the road was peaceful and cool with a gentle breeze that just made the grass move slightly. She couldn’t have asked for a better day to continue to train with Yuki. Though she did worry about the young woman. With this new room mate of her’s, she seemed to have to be home to take care of him more then she was able to take care of herself. She didn’t exactly think that was right, but it was not her life and it was perhaps something that Yuki had wanted herself. Once she entered the training grounds area, she’d move over to a place that was grassy and near the water. Taking out the blanket, she shook it out and laid it upon the ground before she took her shoes off and kneeled on it. The basket being placed in the center of the blanket, she looked to the water and would wait silently as she took the time to meditate. 14:38, May 3, 2016
 * Yukiusagi4477 Yuki was up before the sun, having slept soundly the night before, excited about her picnic and training with her best friend Hitomi. She had made breakfast for Ikime and left a note telling him she might be home late today, wanting to spend as much time training and with her friend as possible. Changing in to her running clothes, which consisted of a white crop top with netting beneath and black shorts, she hopped out her window and headed towards the woods. Passing through the trees she was becoming faster, able to use her speed to dodge branches and animals as well as think ahead. Today she threw in a little throwing practice as well. She would throw her weapon, and grab it as she passed, then repeat. Her energy this morning seemed to radiate off her, as well as a peace that hadn't been present in the girl for sometime.

Nearing her final lap she began to use the sword skill that Seika sensei had taught her, pouring chakra into her twin katana and cutting through trees. She kept the trees small and used it mostly on dead or dying branches. If someone had seen her they would have seen a human shaped brown and white blur trimming the trees with precision. Finally returning home she took a bath, feeling good about the day ahead, then changed into her usual ninja gear. Her off the shoulder top, for once, was white and short sleeved. Her pants were black, tight at the thighs and loose around the calf's and ankles. She latched her white belt, her four pouches attached in between the belt loops of her pants.

After checking her gear and making sure it was in top condition, she headed out towards the training grounds. Stopping by the book store she picked up a scroll on advanced chakra control and book on many of the native plants, with their edible and medical uses. She didn't know if Hitomi had read them before, but it didn't matter. After making sure they were wrapped she tipped the book store owner and left. Finally she reached the training grounds where she was to met her friend. Looking through the fence she saw the Hyuga kneeling on a blanket with a basket on it, seemingly sleeping while sitting up. Grinning Yuki made her way over to her and set the package in her lap.

"Morning Hitomi-chan, Open it, it's for you" 01:35, May 4, 2016
 * HitomiHyuga The silent meditation had allowed Hitomi to listen to the world around her and even to the most silent of steps that she had come to know over the years. A soft smile crossed her lips as she heard those steps come closer yet she would remain unmoving in her position. The young hyuga woman simply continued to breathe until she heard the voice of her dear rabbit. The smile of warmth and caring crossed her lips as she looked to the golden hues of her usagi. Her metallic fingers held the package in her grasp as she looked from it to her friend.

"Good Morning, Usagi-chan. You didn't have to, Yuki. You do know this, right?" She said as her metal sharp fingernails made short work of the wrapping with simple slits in the paper. She'd look down to see the scroll and the book. Gently picking them both up, she'd look from one to the other, reading the titles before placing them down upon her lap gently. Her lashes swept down over her eyes while a soft smile crossed her lips. For so long she had simply taken the gift of friendship and smiles that were given to her as her gifts. She'd never been given a gift before minus one. The metal fingertips that had become her way of life now from Keldran. "Watashi no utsukushī usagi.... Arigatōgo." She said as she curled her hands around the gifts and pulled them to her as if they were a most treasured gift. Sitting there a moment longer, she then wiped her eyes carefully before placing them aside and taking out their lunch.

"Come.. lets eat before it gets cold and it's not as good." She'd take out the boxes of beef and broccoli with cashews over rice and hand one to Yuki. "I have strawberries for dessert. I hope you like them." She said with a smile on her face while taking the chop sticks rather easily within her fingers and would wait for Yuki to begin before she did. 02:18, May 4, 2016 07:06, May 4, 2016 21:28, May 4, 2016 21:53, May 4, 2016
 * Yukiusagi4477 "I know I didn't have to Tomi-chan, but I wanted to." Yuki said, smiling a pleased smile. Seeing the array of food and hearing about the strawberries, her smile brightened. "I love strawberries." She assured as she took out her chopsticks and folded her hands "Itadakimasu" She then took a bite of the food. "This is amazing!" Soon she was digging in, though not in a gross way. After finishing her meal she waited for Hitomi then suggested, "Why don't we wait to eat the strawberries until after we are done training?"
 * HitomiHyuga Hitomi smiled and gave a nod while she ate her own food. She'd pour them both some tea and enjoy the simplicity of enjoying this time with her friend. "I'm glad that you are enjoying it, Usagi-chan. And I agree with you. It will give us something to replenish our reserves with once we are finished with our training." Sipping from her cup, she took a few moments more to settle her stomach before she'd finish off her tea and stand. Walking from the blanket, she'd walk on to the grass and stretch a bit with her arms going up above her head. This time, she was ready. Letting her chakra flow from the tenketsu in her arm down into her hand, she'd concentrate on it like she had before. This time, she'd thrust it from her hand like she had with the chakra flow exercises. Thrusting her arm forward, she'd watch the chakra leave her hand and flow a foot from her before it dispursed. A smile crossed her lips as she knew that this was going to be a good day.
 * Yukiusagi4477 After her drink had been poured the girl smiled then washed down the her food with the tea. Sighing in happiness she closed her eyes and just enjoyed the calm for a few moments, then turned her gold gaze on to the other female. Seeing her advancement, Yuki grinned. Getting up she moved several feet away and to the right of the girl, then activated her earth spear. This time however, she tried to start with only one arm being discolored, knowing the feeling from the day before. Her left arm turned hard and a muted gray. The edge of this grey ended at her shoulder, but seemed to want to expand. Still she held it for a couple seconds before it slowly creeped towards her chest. Releasing the jutsu, she smirked at herself then smiled at Hitomi.
 * HitomiHyuga It seemed that the both of them were indeed making the progress that they wanted to make. It would only take a bit more it seemed for the both of them to achieve the end result that they wished for. A memory came to her then as she had brought her hands back and allowed chakra to pool into her hands forming a ball of sorts. She'd remember her little spar between her and her dear Saito. Another person that she hadn't seen in a long time. But she remembered what he had done when he used this attack on her.

She'd release the chakra and start all over again. This time, she'd emulate exactly what Saito had done. She'd remember the look of it. The way it moved over his skin. She'd remember how scared she was to be met with it but at the same time, how excited she was that he would be teaching her. Turning so that her right hand was pulled back and to her side, she'd focus on the training dummy that was in front of her and inhale slowly. While she did so, chakra began to pool around the balled up fist. With a quick thust forward of her arm, she'd open up her hand at the last instant and feel the chakra leaving her hand at high speed as she exhaled. The chakra compressed wind flew from her hand about the size of a baseball and was aimed in the general direction of the training dummy. She'd see the grass move under the force of it and grin. Yet as her eyes looked up to the dummy, there had been nothing that happened to it yet.

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">She smiled to herself nonetheless. It was a lesson that was learned and one that Saito never knew that he actually taught her. When he'd see her again, she'd show him. 22:21, May 4, 2016
 * Yukiusagi4477 <p style="margin-top:0px!important;">Yuki watched the girl, and was rather impressed. She knew Hitomi had talent, but to be able to read a scroll and then get this far this quickly was amazing. Sighing a little Yuki shrugged off the jealousy that had poked it's head though her thoughts, and thought about how she had been progressing quickly as well. Her sense of vibration was getting stronger and more precise, so much so she could even feel the vibrations of the chakra when it was being gathered or dispersed. Nodding to herself she once more activated the jutsu, then focused on her left arm. Just her hand turned to stone.

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">This time the edge was constant and didn't seem to be trying to spread. Yuki then let more chakra flow, this time to coat her rock hard fist. As she did this, the chakra began to weave and spark off, as if it couldn't stay solid. Frowning she stopped the flow of chakra, but kept her fist discolored. Staring at the fist she thought about it and how she was going to be able to mix the two. 22:42, May 4, 2016
 * HitomiHyuga <p style="margin-top:0px!important;">HItomi had watched Yuki as she had gotten her one jutsu to stay where it was supposed to and then saw the second try but not stay as she had wanted it to. It caused the young woman to tilt her head in thought. "What about if you think of it like blankets? You have the first layer that covers you and keeps you safe. Then the second layer that will be forced to the outter forces. Perhaps like if you are simply pulling that layer over the one that is already there in a slow and continuous movement?"

After she had spoken to her friend, she once more took her stance and balled up her fist. This time using the left one instead of the right so she could make it happen in both no matter what happened in her life. Taking a deep breath in, she'd feel the chakra flow into her left fist and focus on the dummy once more. Thrusting her arm out, she'd quickly open up her hand and exhale with the chakra flowing from her hand at high speed. The chakra compressed wind once more caused the grass to move under the force of her chakra. Yet once more, the dummy didn't show one bit of damage from her chakra.

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">She had the theory. She had the way it was to be done down. Now she just needed to get the force down. 22:53, May 4, 2016
 * Yukiusagi4477 <p style="margin-top:0px!important;">Yuki nodded at Hitomi's words, but waited to try it. Instead she watched her friend. She seemed to have the gathering of chakra down, but not the forceful effect that was desired. Thinking a moment, Yuki wondered if she could help Hitomi. After a few moments she suggested, "What if you visualize the effect you want your chakra to have on the dummy first? Then throw the energy at it, after seeing and feeling the effects you desire?" After this she smiled softly with a hint of embarrassment. Turning back to her own jutsu, she made the seal of the snake and the discoloration formed around both hands. Happy she let one hand return to normal, and focused on blanketing her chakra around the rock hand. After a few moments of the chakra being uneven and flicking off it solidified, like it did around her blades. Grinning even more she moved over to a dummy and simply touched it.

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">An indentation of her hand appeared on the dummy, going into it a good half inch. Releasing both the chakra and the jutsu she jumped up once and cheered then looked at the sky. Today was a good day, now to be able to use the rock spear with her cloak. That was the goal. 23:19, May 4, 2016
 * HitomiHyuga <p style="margin-top:0px!important;">Hitomi smiled watching her friend jump about in excitement. "Well done, Usagi-chan!!" She said with a clap of her hands as they made the clank sound of metal in doing so. She was indeed proud of the young woman and it showed on her face when she looked to her.

Turning back to her own dummy, she'd take a deep breath and let it out slowly. Slowly, she'd pull back her right fist as she inhaled. Chakra flowed over her hand and she focused on the dummy before her. Doing as Yuki had suggested, she'd see the image of the compression of the dummy from the force if the chakra shell flying through the air. With a quick thrust forward and opening her fist at the same time, she forced the chakra from her hand at an alarming rate. She'd see the compressed wind speed over the grass until it hit the center of the dummy leaving a baseball sized indent in the middle of the dummy's chest. Slowly, Hitomi stood and looked to the dummy with a soft smile crossing her lips and a slight nod. It was not perfect. But she did it. Now came time to perfect it. But that would come another day.

<p style="margin-bottom:0px!important;">Walking back over to the blanket, she'd sit once more and fill up her cup with the tea and sip from it as she looked to her friend. "Yuki? Come over and we'll finish our picnic." She said with a smile. "Strawberries are waiting!" She said with a giggle as she pulled out the strawberries and took a bite out of one. 23:50, May 4, 2016 01:39, May 5, 2016 02:34, May 5, 2016 04:23, May 5, 2016 Edited by HitomiHyuga 16:05, May 5, 2016Quote More
 * Yukiusagi4477 <p style="margin-top:0px!important;margin-bottom:0px!important;">Yuki smiled as Hitomi finally managed to hit the dummy. Grinning she too moved back over to the blanket, pouring herself more tea then taking a strawberry. Pulling it up to her lips she bit in to it then moaned as the sweet taste coated her tongue. Smiling at Hitomi she said, "These are good, even better now that we have finished training. Thank you."
 * HitomiHyuga <p style="margin-top:0px!important;margin-bottom:0px!important;">Hitomi smiled with a soft giggle. Enjoying the fruit as a beautiful reward for doing a good job on their training. Sighing softly she'd sip from her cup as she'd look to the water. "You've grown quite a bit, Usagi-chan." She then looked to her friend as she raised her cup to her in a form of toast to her. "You should be very proud of your progress. I'm sure your parents would be. I am." She said softly with a smile on her lips that radiated with warmth.
 * Yukiusagi4477 <p style="margin-top:0px!important;margin-bottom:0px!important;">Tapping her cup against Hitomi's she smiled and nodded. "I hope they are, where ever they are now. I hope they are watching me and smiling. I also hope that they are proud of me for having such an amazing teammate and friend." She then took another strawberry and ate it, loving the taste. "I am glad your my friend Tomi-chan."
 * HitomiHyuga <p style="margin-top:0px!important;margin-bottom:0px!important;">Hitomi smiled and tilted her head a bit. "And you honor me by being mine." She'd place her cup down and lay out on the blanket. Deciding to take the rest of the afternoon to just relax and enjoy the afternoon air with a wonderful friend.
