Neoku was back in control again. It had been a while since he was, and he was getting restless. He need something to do, or else he start killing. His blood was boiling for something, anything. Taking the opportunity of being alone, he decided to train in the clan moves that he so enjoyed. His other half Tai couldn’t do them, so he owned them alone. That was how he liked it anyway. Seeing as no one was around, he decided to begin on his clan taijutsu. He knew exactly what would be appropriate too.

Taking his time to focus his chakra, he tried to push it toward his hands. It wouldn’t budge though. The chakra wouldn’t even circulate extra or make any kind noticeable movement toward his limbs. Concentrating deeply, he began to pour all his will power toward his hands. He was concentrating for as much as ten minutes, no progress being made in between. Then, after about half an hour, he began to feel a small trickle of chakra begin to form around his palm. It wasn’t enough to do anything with. In fact, it was somewhat laughable, or would have been if Neoku were the humorous type. But no, he wasn’t. The small amount of chakra that only covered a part of his hand wasn’t nearly as much as he was hoping for.

To remedy his problem, he started over again. This time, as he began to mold his chakra. He made sure to channel as much as he could to ensure that he actually had enough to channel towards his attack. As he started, he could feel the increasing surge of chakra gradually moving down his arms, pooling up into his wrist, then eventually into his palms. Just as it reached there, the abruptly stopped, leaving a stinging sensation in his arm. For this, he had to re-channel his chakra, and perhaps channel it a bit faster. That speed of course, couldn’t be gained on a single try.

Neoku took a deep breath, anticipating when he’d actually be able to use this move to it’s fullest. He began to slowly channel his chakra toward his arms. He really should tried to for speed, but instead, he went for quantity. He figured that after he’d gotten the quantity of chakra right, it would be easier for him to speed up the flow than to do it vice versa. At first, he continued with the same amount of chakra as when he started. It wouldn’t increase much, and it began to infuriate him as his patience was by now going dangerously short. However, he continued working at the chakra.

After about fifteen minutes, his ready to kill the first person he saw. Well, not kill, but brutally attack and possible maim. His patience was gone, and the only thing that would appease him was either some immediate progress, or a fight. As it would happen, he was ready to give up and starting looking for someone to fight. Lucky enough though, he felt an odd pulse in his mind, as if someone had open a gate, allowing chakra to flow at an almost unchecked rate. He could feel the it increase marginally, and when he felt that, he pushed for it even more. Slowly, he continued pushing on his control of the chakra, forcing more through his arms. Eventually, he had enough, he pushed it further, until it was moving toward is hands. It now covered his palms, but he still had to focus it around the rest of his hands.

For perhaps the next hour, he tried forcing the chakra to cover his palms completely. Slowly, it started to cover the back of his hands in a thin sheet like layer. Then, it began to cover his fingers. Soon, his hand was completely covered, but not densely. It was like a thin membrane of chakra. He could already tell that he didn’t have enough to focus into his attack. It was however, enough of a start. If he didn’t stop and take a small break, he’d end up hurting himself. So, he stopped and took a short break.

It was about ten minutes later when Neoku decided to continue his training. He realized by now that he’d soon lose his control over the powers he was trying to learn if he sat by and waited for Tai to regain control. From where he’d left off, he just managed to pull the chakra over his hands, but it was barely done. It was like extra skin, what he had right now. What he needed was enough to fuel a fire, much like the one that endlessly burned in his chest. He needed enough to cause damage to any. Concentrating, he Neoku began to pull chakra from the rest of his body into his arms. Once there, he attempted to pull and yank more of it towards his hands. He could feel it now, slowly moving, slowly begin pulled, as if by a then wire. If he yanked on it to try and speed it up, it would break the line, and he’d have to start again. He didn’t want that, not yet.

After about a minute or so, he could feel the chakra pooling in his wrist again. It left a good feeling, doing this, as if he were holding some sort of unfathomable power within his limbs. Power, that when he felt like it, he would utilize to accomplish whatever he felt like at the time. Whether it be fighting for honor, for personal gain, or just for the fun of it. Either way he saw it, it would be only his power. Now holding that chakra in his wrist, he slow released it, but at the same time, tried to bind it around his hands. As he released it, the chakra took on a dark gray color, the color or his dark chi. The amount was very small, like a then dispersed gas trapped in an orbit. He tried to increase how much he had, it wouldn’t increase. He’d already blown it, and now needed to start.

After about twenty or so repeated attempts over the next twenty minutes, he hadn’t managed to increase the amount too much. It was still increasing ever so marginally though. But gradually, he could feel the chakra increasing, then spreading, until it appear a little more dense. Still, it wasn’t enough, so he continued pushing and concentrating. After about a minute, it had grown into a mass of two inches around either side of his hand. He considered it enough to try and light it, and so started focusing on it. He imagined it suddenly bursting into a sparking flame, and the power that he weld with it however, nothing happened. He then notice that the chakra had dispersed whilst he wasn’t looking. For this, he had to concentrate over again, then discovered what his problem was. It appeared as though every time he began to try to ignite it, the chakra would disperse like gas in the wild winds. To solve this, he concentrated wildly, until his chakra appeared solid and strong. It took an extra ten minutes of doing this, most of consisted of powering more charka toward his hands. It worked however, and as he ignite his chakra into flames, it leaped up, as if it were alive within its own right. It was marvelous to behold. The flame was a solid pure black, filled with such mystery and power. The second was short live though. The fire died after just a few seconds. It would last any longer. Neoku was about to practice more, but he realized that it had burned his chakra dangerously low. It was now dangerous for him to continue training anymore. He decided to rest again, but he refused to close his eyes or nod off for even a second.

This time, he was down for half an hour. What aided in his ability to recover his chakra so fast was his ability to remain calm and relax. Ironically, he was the more chaotic and clearly more forcefully natured ego, but he possessed the greater ability to relax and let go. It should have been the other way around. Tai was very well and righteously natured, but he became stressed out way to easily, at least when he compare him to himself. But that wasn’t what he was concerned about at the moment. At the moment, what he needed to do was learn this jutsu before Tai regained control. It seemed that it Tai had been gaining more power, thus making it easier for him to stay in control. Additionally, the influence of the Akumu had weakened since Tai had relocated to the vilage.

Neoku resumed his personal training once more. He was determined to learn the move quickly. From here on, he wouldn’t break until he began to feel weak. Only under these conditions did he feel he would accomplish his goal before he was dormant again. Starting at where he had to focus his chakra, he began to move great masses of chakra toward his arms. His main goal right now was to increase the flow of chakra until he could move the chakra in a single movement. After accomplishing this, should he have to restart the flames of his burning knuckles, he wouldn’t waist as much time and chakra. Continuing with his technique, he began to build up more chakra into his arms. He hadn’t yet bothered to channel it towards his hands yet. He didn’t quite believe that he’d achieved enough speed to consider it decent progress

As he started again, he began to pull on the chakra as he hadn’t yet tried. This sudden change however, was too much too soon. He could feel a massive lump of chakra moving toward his arms, but his chakra network wasn’t quite conditioned to move chakra at this rate. As a result, his concentration snapped, and he had to begin again. This time, he made a small amount of chakra, and began to pull it slower. He succeeded in this amount, not even having a small problem transporting it through his arms. With that much done, he decided to pick up the speed with it more. He attempted this several times. Every time, he attempted to decrease the time it took for him to summon up the chakra. He did this by gradually pulling on the smaller amount of chakra he had conjured. Once he had managed to cut the time down from a minute to five seconds, he increased the amount of chakra.

Once he increased the amount, the time also increased. He found that there was so much unbelievable tension restricting his chakra that he couldn’t move much faster than when he started. However, he continued working at it, slowly pulling it at, then restarting, then pulling faster. The result was that in the relatively small amount of time that he was there, the amount of chakra he could move double. And once it double, he cut the time in halves. He was now moving the chakra at a satisfactory rate with a satisfactory amount. He was now ready to start with his fire again.

Neoku began to channel his charka once more. As he expected, he was able to move the chakra much faster without loosing a significant amount. Holding the chakra within arms, he released it all into his hands, and bound it around them to keep it from escaping. Quickly, he ignited the chakra, it erupted into a black flame once more. He was able to hold the flame for a few more seconds then the first time he tried, but he could tell that he still had a bit longer to go. His flame wasn’t quite sustained. He could see it waning weakly, like a dying candle. He tried to strengthen the flame, but ultimately, it failed for the moment. He’d have to redouble his efforts in just a moment.

Now, Neoku was getting closer to his goal, he could feel it approaching. Each time he did the technique, it was less strenuous on him, and became just a little easier. So far, today’s work had been very successful and progressive, but now he was at the crucial part. He had to sustain a flame of chakra around his hands long enough to use as a weapon in taijutsu. He already could start the fire, but it never lasted for more than a few seconds. So, he decided to start off from right there. It was his time.

Beginning rather fast, he quickly channeled his chakra into his arms. It took a relatively short time to do this, onle about five seconds. He felt the chakra moving through his arms, down his wrist, and into his palms. Using his practice technique, he quickly released the chakra in a short burst from his hands. It was a large amount. Of what he had accomplished so far, this was the first time he’d gotten a decent amount of chakra without taking too long to do so. As he released he chakra, he entrapped it around his hands, compressing to stop it from moving anywhere. Next, he attempted to ignite he chakra as if he were lighting a fireplace. The response was instantaneous as his chakra suddenly burst into and deep black flame, giving off a weird coloration to the light around him. He stood there, watching the flame in silence, a solemn concentration stretching his face tight like plastic wrap. Even as he stood watching his own flame, entranced by its deepening mystery and power, he was straining to keep the flame up. As it stood, he’d already passed his previous time of two seconds. He was now resting at five, a very minimal time. It probably gave him enough time launch a single attack, just one punch. It was unsatisfactory at most.


Neoku decided to start over, begin sure to concentrate everything he had on the flames. It took about twenty tries, but did in fact increase his strength, and thus learn the technique better. He couldn’t consider it mastered just yet, so he continued repeatedly. Every time, he could feel the flame growing stronger, to the fact that it longer waned in the open. Still, the time was low, only being about six seconds. For this, he concentrated directly on sustaining the flame. He watched it like a hawk, watching it flicker, then strengthen for a brief second, although it went flicked off. That was about ten seconds worth of the flame. It still wasn’t enough yet. He continued training once more. Every time the flame extinguished itself, he restarted and concentrated hard. After every subsequent attempt, the flame’s time extended for another second and grew stronger. After about thirty rounds with his black flame, the flame stopped growing. It held for about thirty seconds, the flame standing proud and strong. Durring those thirty seconds, the flame never flickerd as much as once. Neoku could tell that it was at it’s limit now, but he still tried push it more. This time though, the flame stood for a full thirty seconds then simply burnt out. When he tried to hold it longer, it simply began to hurt him, meaning he was forcing the jutsu when it could go no longer. He stopped promptly, at the limits of his chakra and the move.

A half an passed by as Neoku rested his body once more. Durring that time, he had brief, but severe headache. It was so strong that the only comparison he could make to it was the feeling of someone driving a spike through his head with their bare hands. Any other comparison was dim in comparison, like reading inscriptions on a wall with a dying candle. This could only mean one thing, Tai was regain consciousness. Soon, there’d be another great mental battle, and then either he’d defeat Tai once more, or lay dormant until it was his time to be free again. For that purpose, he went back to training the move, ignoring the onset of the warning migraine.

Focusing, Neoku began to channel his chakra into his arms from the rest of his body. The process was very fast, for his body was getting used to the way he manipulated his chakra for this move. With the chakra moving toward his arms, he shifted and narrowed the direction even more, so that it flowed quickly into his hands with no delay between either movement. He quickly close his palms and clenched the tightly as he began releasing the chakra all at once. After a quick bit of concentration, he focused on the chakra he released, and ignited it before it had the chance to fade away or scatter to the wind.

Instantly, his hands erupted into a deep black, casting a flame of pure raw anger around them. The flame was it’s strongest yet. There was no flicker, it didn’t wane as he moved his hand, and the flame was four inches on either side of his hands. It was perfect, so far. Seeing as it was at what seemed a maximized strength, he decided to finally test it with a series of punches, the kind of things he might actually use them for. First, he did a few basic punches and saw that the flame held up just as it had been normally. Next, he began to throw harder punches, each subsequent punches stronger than the next. He couldn’t spot any problems with his technique yet, and was quite pleased, however, after about a minute, the flame extinguished.

Just as he was about to recast his flame, his left arm stopped responding. Then, his right arm clenched tight without him telling it to. Then it happened. Neoku collapsed, kneeling on the floor as he had a terrible migraine that was beyond physical comparison. He clenched his eyes shut to try and bear through the pain. When he opened his eyes, he was back inside of their head. The area looked just as it always had. The sky and ground appeared the same color. It was black, an empty color that through its depth, it appeared as though you could dig forever but never touch the bottom. The place between the ground and sky was white, every physical object in between was a medium shade of gray.

Looking before him, he could see a boy he looked nearly identical to him. The only difference was that his hair was allowed to dip in front of his eyes, hiding a good deal of his face. The boy removed the long strands, and brushed them aside. “Noeku, no words. You know what I want” Next thing he knew, a shockwave flew at him, cutting through the air as it sailed through. He dodged it, and when he got close, punched the boy in the face. The flinched and fell backward , just to land on his hands. While he was on his hands, he spun sideways and kicked Neoku in his face and stomache.

As soon as Neoku recovered, he channeled the chakra into his hands then ignited it. The boy looked shocked for a brief moment, but began to charge at him. First shot Neoku could take, he aimed it at the boys stomach. When it struck, the boys face twisted in pain, as if he been burned horrible. Neoku grinned for a second, the prepared to attack again. Before that could happen though, the boy kicked once more, then released another shockwave. This time, it struck Neoku in the face. Once more, he released another shockwave, then one more. Each struck Neoku in his chest, knocking the air out of him.

The boy rushed up to Neoku and kick him in the chest then flipped up and kick in the face. As Neoku went flying sideways, the boy released a shockwave shaped like a shuriken. The force of it knocked out Neoku, rendering him useless. The fight was over, and Tai was victorious. Gradually, Tai’s vision returned to normal, but he was had a powerful headache subsiding very slowly. Once it cleared up, he was himself again. He thought to himself for a minute. The fight had been harder than usual. Neoku had gotten a bit stronger. That meant it was time for him to travel back to the thunder country to revisit his sensei. Before that, he had to get permission from the Mizukage. With that on his mind, he quickly left this area that Neoku chose to train at to speak with the Mizukage.
