Rank: “C” Rank.
Skill: Taijutsu.
Effect: Speeds up the user by 2 movements each time used.
Special: --
Drawback: Can only be used five times a day. If the user is higher than “C” rank, it still requires twenty TP to learn Nankan again.
Description: The user excretes chakra from their tenketsu steadily, creating a barrier around them that alerts the user of motion before it comes near the user, giving them the appearance of heightened reflexes. Some maintain that this skill was created in order to combat the Sharingan. The user can only use this technique five times a day when first learned. Each time it is learned again, the user can use it one extra time per day.

“Right...” said the male while he walked towards the training area in the Hyuuga mansion. He had decided to to some nankan training with his cousin Satoru before he could work on his shunshin and genjutsu.
‘If I want to become a Chuunin, I need a lot of work at my taijutsu and genjutsu skills. I have already managed to learn a lot of raiton and suiton’ thought Minoru while he walked into the area where a lot of Hyuugas trained. His cousin stood in a corner with a bottle of water as well as a dark gray towel.

A smile graced the guys face when the other male waved at him; it was time to start the nankan training. “Hello there Minoru! I have a great idea for todays training” said the black-haired guy with a grin on his face.
“I’m all ears” said the teen before he adjusted his black gi a little bit. “I got an idea from a training lesson I had earlier today” said the male before he walked behind his relative.

“I will first blindfold you by tieing the hitai-ate around your eyes. You will then use the nankan in order to navigate through the training area without colliding into anyone” said the Chuunin as he tied the hitai ate around the male’s eyes. “Can I use my byakugan?” asked the Genin with a hint of anxiety in his voice; this felt both uncomfortable and unusual for the Hyuuga. “No, but I will save you in case you get in the way of a nasty Jyuuken jutsu” said Satoru.

‘That’s assuring’ thought Minoru while he prepared some chakra for his first try on this unusual training method. Chakra started to circulate in the young body as he tried to get used to not seeing anything at all.
He took a deep breath as the chakra was gathered in the center of his torso and was sent to the tenketsus that laid in his body. ‘I’m glad that I can see all of the tenketsus in the body so I have an idea of where they are’ thought the male while the chakra was almost finished with its journey. It did not take long before all of the chakra had been sent out to the assigned places at his body.

‘HAKKESHOU! NANKAN!’ thought the black-haired guy when the chakra emerged from the many hundred tenketsus on his body. He knit his brows as he tried to make the barrier as even and steady as possible.
‘I have done this many times before so I can do it again. But to re-train this technique is always hard since there are so many small areas’ thought the guy. When the barrier was as steady as he could get, it was time to start moving.

It was harder than the teen had thought it would be since the barrier kept picking up disturbances within the field. The fact that he did not know if he was actually close to crash with someone or if it was just someone who entered his field for a second or two made it even worse.
Suddenly, a somewhat powerful disturbance came in from behind. Minoru stepped aside as fast as he could but it was not fast enough. Something collided with his right shoulderblade for a second before it moved again.

A frustrated sigh emerged from his lips as the barrier he had made started to falter a little. ‘Looks like I had not used enough chakra. This is really annoying...!’ thought the male and knit his ebony brows in slight frustration over the new training.
“All right Minoru. I will remove the blindfold now, so just stand still for a few moments” said his relative’s voice. Some fingers messed around in his hair before the blindfold started to loosen up a little.

Lavender eyes blinked when the blindfold had been removed in order to adjust the pale light that came from above. “You did not do that bad actually. You managed to dodge a person that was about to crash into you and two hakke kuushous” said the older guy.
“Thanks. But I think I have to add more chakra since the barrier I made was not as solid as it should have been” said the black haired guy before he rubbed his eyes a little bit.

‘I think I need to train at making a decent barrier of chakra around my body first. Since it is so many tenketsus, it is not that easy to find mistakes. But on the other hand, a lot of tenketsus have to be insufficient before the barrier collapses completely’ thought the male while he sipped some cold water.
“Ready for a second try Minoru?” asked the other male and looked at him with a smile. “Yeah, let’s go” said Minoru with a smile on his face; to train with other people was better than doing it on your own.

He handed his hitai-ate over to Satoru before he closed his eyes for a few seconds. While the cloth touched his skin, the guy started to prepare his chakra for another try on the hakkeshou nankan jutsu.
As the cloth thightened a little, the chakra was being refined in the center of his torso; the Genin tried to keep his concentration up. It took a bit longer before everything was ready but the amount was a bit larger. ‘HAKKESHOU! NANKAN!’ thought the male before he started to send the chakra around.

‘BYAKUGAN!’ thought the other male before he started to study what went on inside his relative. His byakugan saw chakra being sent all over the body; head, arms, shoulders, torso, pelvis, thighs and knees.
The chakra then started to come out of the tenketsus and started to form a barrier around the black-haired guys body. All though the Chuunin was unable to see his cousins facial expression, he bet that he focused as hard as he could on his task. But would it be enough to master the jutsu?

‘Only one way to find out that!’ thought Satoru before he gave the guy a gentle push in his back. ‘I hope the barrier is steady enough this time. I tried to keep the barrier as even as I could’ thought Minoru as he tried to navigate through the Hyuuga mansions training field.
He already knew that there were six people there including his cousin; two women and two men that were both at least 5 years older than he was. The male paid attention to any disturbances that came into his barrier in order to avoid collisions.

He went two steps forwards...there was nothing dangerous that invaded his ‘zone’ so far. The Genin then took a couple more steps, but something on his side got closer and closer to his left hip.
The guy then did a small half-spin in order to avoid whatever that came towards him. It seemed to be enough since the thing or person that the barrier reacted on disappeared. ‘I better check the nankan field to see if it needs more chakra’ thought the male.

Since the nankan was a bit unstable, the black-haired guy sent some more chakra towards the weak spots in order to make them stronger. ‘I think it’s better to improve the barrier than to cancel it and start all over again.
And in case I have to fight against multiple enemies, this might be a good thing to know’ thought the teen as the barrier was stabilized again. He continued on his journey towards the other side of the training field...what would happen next?

‘WHAT THE....’ thought Minoru as something fast came in from his back. Whatever it was, it seemed to aim for the place that was between his shoulderblades. There was nothing in front so the male took a quick step forwards and stepped side, just to be safe.
He felt the ‘intruder’ slide right past the barrier at his current front. That attack had been a close call for him; it was a good experience to have though.

The guy walked for a half minute or so before the barrier picked up something that stood in front of him. It would not move, so the Genin extended his hand to feel what kind of obstacle that stood in his way.
His hand then touched something that felt like wood...could it be the wall on the other side of the training field? The male removed his hitai-ate; it turned out that his assumptions were right.

Shunshin no jutsu (Body flicker technique).
Rank: “C” Rank.
Type: Ninjutsu/taijutsu.
Effect: A High speed movement technique where a user moves from one point to another as if appearing to teleport in a short distance in almost untraceable speeds. User moves in 10 meters.
Special: ---
Drawback Able to use 3 times a day when first learned. Each time learned after first time user is able to use it one more time. If user uses it passes the number capable, leg muscles cramp dramatically and user is unable to move till medical treatment. May only be used on the ground in a straight line whether facing forward or away.
Description: This jutsu is a high-speed movement technique, allowing a ninja to move short distances at an almost untraceable speed. To an observer, it appears as if the user has teleported. A puff of smoke is occasionally used to disguise the user's movements. It is accomplished by using chakra to temporarily boost the user's reflexes. The amount of chakra required depends on the overall distance between the user and their intended destination. When used this technique does not take up any movements. However a user may only use this technique equal to half the amount of their movements per round rounding down. Thus 3 movements user may use it only once per round. 15 movements user may use it 7 times per round without it taking up a movement.
Limit: User must have a character.

‘If I want to become more serious about the Buredono Kenseijin, I need to up the number of shunshins before I learn the sugizou. Not to mention that it’s handy to know a jutsu like that more than 5 times a day’ thought the male while he looked around in the training hall.
It was a hall where shinobi’s of both genders and all age groups trained on taijutsu. Minoru decided to go for the obstacle course that was in the end of the large hall. The obstacle course had different types of poles that had to be avoided, some small gaps with a rubber mat at the bottom and various other things.

He looked at a small sign at his end that said that the obstacle course was 100 meters long. A small grin appeared on the guys face since it meant that he could take the time on how fast he ran on 100 meters.
‘My record is at 15 seconds I believe. But that is without the obstacles’ thought the Genin and observed the obstacle course. Even though he was not a taijutsu specialist, the Jyuuken lessons was a good exercise when it came to body control and cardio.

The male then started to jog towards the first obstacle, which was three poles that stood at different places in the route. It would test how quick a shinobi could turn their body in order to avoid them in the shortest amount of time.
The black-haired guy spun on his toeballs in order to avoid the first one before he gathered a little speed. Number two was a pole that stood a bit on the opposite end since the first one meant that you had to slow down.

Lavender optics widened a little when the third pole turned out to be closer than the male had first thought. He then did a small jump to the right in order to avoid the crash and turned up the speed a notch in order to catch up lost time.
The next obstacle was a small wall that was about 20 inches above the ground level. It was not so high for Minoru, but perhaps someone who were shorter than him had used this obstacle course before him. He ran a little faster before he jumped over the small wall without a lot of problems.

After the guy had landed, he saw the rubber ditch about 15 meters away. It was 7 feet long and could provide trouble for shinobi’s who were short, not so good at jumping or were tall and heavy like the Akimichi clan members.
He ran as fast as he could and jumped over the ditch with all the speed that he got. The Genin landed on the other side and continued his run towards the other end. There was only 25 meters left or so, which was good.

But the next obstacle was one of the hardest one so far. A rope hung from the ceiling and the shinobi had to swing itself over to the other side. Reason why was because there was a 2,5 meter long and 1 meter deep gap with nails at the bottom.
The nails were made out of rubber but their purpose was clear; it was not unheard of that shinobis had to cross terrain like that without the use of chakra. His hand grabbed the rope and his body jumped before it clung to the rope.

It swung like a pendulum over to the other side; it was a smart idea to gather that much speed. The black-haired male landed at the other side before he ran as fast as he could towards the finish line that was only 10 meter away.
His lungs started to ache a little and the throat was a little dry since this exercise was a bit on the hard side. It was even harder for someone who was not used to this kind of work out methods. ‘Seems like I have to include more of this in my training’ thought the guy as he kept running.

Suddenly, everything zoomed past him for a split second or so. It made Minoru a little worried...he had not drunk a lot of water that day. Was he about to faint?
The male stumbled a little before he decided to see where he was. Pale purple eyes widened in surprise when they saw that he stood at the finish line. He had shunshined the last bit to the goal!

A smile was appearant on the males face when he had done the obstacle course a bit faster than what he normally did. ‘6 shunshins per day is good. But I wonder if I can be able to do 10 of them before I continue with my buredono kenseijin training.
I mean, I am already able to do 10 nankans per day and they take longer time than the shunshin’ thought Minoru and closed his eyes for a few seconds. He opened them again before he decided to train one more time for today.

‘Shunshin is all about speed. That means that I should make my muscles used to running really fast without making them cramp or anything like that. I have to do a LOT of spurts...’ thought the guy before he sweatdropped.
He was already a bit warm after the obstacle course, so he decided to run through the normal 100 meter lap in order to get some warmer. Both of his feet hit the ground while the Genin jogged from one side to another of the training hall.

He could feel his blood being pumped out through his body; his legs and arms felt a little easier to move now. Which was a good sign of that his muscles got the oxygen they needed in order to work properly.
The male could also feel his heart pump a little faster than before but he did not feel short off breath yet. He inhaled a bit more oxygen than usual after he increased his speed a little bit. ‘No need to get short of breath when I have only ran a quarter of the distance’ thought the black-haired guy before he wiped some hair away from his face.

The guy had now passed the 30 meter mark after a couple of seconds; it was time to get serious soon. He closed his eyes to check how his body did but there was no sign of exhaustion so far...which was good.
Minoru then started to run faster when he saw that the 40 meter mark was not very far away from his current location. His legs started to move a little faster since he assumed that his muscles were warm enough to handle it now.

The male was wrong; this was confirmed when he felt something inside his right leg stretch a bit too much and slight pain made itself known. ‘Aaaah Kami. I need to stretch out so I can get it away’ thought the Genin before he walked over to a pile of mats that could be used for yoga or self-defense taijutsus.
He sat down, stretched his back and leaned over as far as he could without bending his back much. The slight pain increased a little in strength but it was far from unbearable for the guy...this was better than some of the Jyuuken lessons.

‘I better stretch the sides too so I’m safe’ thought the guy before he stood up and let his legs slide sideways into a bad split. ‘Kami, I’m more flexible than I thought I was’ thought the black-haired male as he saw his legs go further than before.
Luckily, the pain went away after two minutes and the male pulled both of his legs together so he could continue. His legs felt a little lighter somehow after they had been stretched, which was a quite good feeling. But Minoru was more than halfway now and it was time to run as fast as he could.

His feet hit the ground faster than ever before while the length of his strides increased a little bit in order to achieve higher speed. Some fatigue entered the body but the guy was not ready to give up at this point.
‘I have passed the 70 meter mark, so I don’t have much left! Just a little bit further and I can take a break’ thought the Genin while he tried to inhale as much oxygen as possible to his starving lungs. The 80 meter mark then came closer to him...the worst was done now.

Both legs started to feel the strain when the 90 meter mark met a pair of lavender eyes that were more dull than usual.
‘Just 10 meters more to the-’. His train of thoughts were interrupted when the finish line suddenly appeared a foot in front of him. The black-haired male stumbled forwards and turned to see where he had used to be. He had managed to shunshin about 7 meters forwards without the blur.

‘Zum zum zum...’ thought the male while he searched in the bookshelf for a notebook he had used at the Academy. ‘Ah, there it is!’ thought Minoru and removed the notebook from the shelf that was in the middle.
His fingers flipped the pages; it was a special jutsu that he looked for. Pale purple optics then saw the jutsu that he had looked for. It was a full description of the shunshin no jutsu that had been written down with a childish version of his current handwriting.

‘I have trained this jutsu a lot of times now without looking at the description behind it. Perhaps I need to refresh them a little so that the training can go a little easier’ thought the guy while he started to read the description part of the jutsu.
He had not read the description in almost 5 years now since this was one of the last jutsus he learned at the Academy. ‘Hm...so the chakra is used to temporarily boost my reflexes. And the distance I teleport depends on the chakra that I mold’ thought the Genin as he read the description.

All that he read made sense in a way; he had used more chakra than usual on the recent shunshin attempts since he wanted to succeed. But maybe one of the ‘help’ factors was that the male had runned a bit before the shunshin kicked in?
‘Only one way to find out. I have to try the shunshin from when I run and stand still!’ thought the black-haired guy before he laid the notebook back in the shelf. It was experiment time.

He exited the Hyuuga mansion, closed the door and decided to test out his theory in one of the nearby forests. It had been a while since the guy had trained there, so it would be nice to go back to the woods for a training session.
Minoru started to tree jump while he used his keen eyes to look for a place that could be suitable for traning shunshins or speed. His eyes then spotted a small path it stretched across a rather even distance. He landed at the forest floor and looked around...there were nobody here except himself.

‘This forest is in the heart of the village. I should be safe here’ thought the male while he started to mold some chakra. His parents had often told him to watch out for suspicious people since he was a main house Hyuuga.
‘What should I test first...the speed version or the standing still version?’ thought the Genin as he looked around. He decided to go with the last option first since he had not tested out that yet in his training.

Chakra was then sent out all over the body, but most of it went to the knees, hips, thighs and spine. Those body parts were the most important if you wanted to move as fast as possible without any worries for injuries to the muscles or sinews.
Lavender eyes then locked on a pine tree with some broken branches that was about 7 meters away from his current location. His target was now decided and it was time to move over there as fast as he could! The guy focused and started to run towards the tree as fast as he could.

It did not went any faster than normal in the start, but that was about to change in a second or two. Everything then went blurry; it was uncomfortable but it was a sign that the jutsu worked as it should do so far.
‘I am glad that this jutsu improves my reflexes too. I could have crashed into something if not’ thought the black-haired male as he moved along the forest floor. The legs felt a little weird, almost like jelly.

Everything then disappeared for a second before the male found himself standing right next to a tree. But was it the tree that was his target one? Minoru turned around before he studied the tree that stood next to him and smiled.
It was the right tree, which meant that he was able to use the shunshin with almost no speed at all. The guy then facepalmed when it hit him; he HAD actually moved when he shunshined!

‘I have almost no idea of how I should move if I stand still! We did not learn that at the Academy but one time have to be the first one’ thought the Genin and inhaled some of the fresh air around him.
‘Right...I think I have to gather chakra in my limbs before I run off towards my target. I just have to make sure that the distance between does not have a lot of obstacles in it. I don’t want to fall and sprain anything’ thought the male while he glanced towards some nearby bushes.

He decided that his next target would be a somewhat tall bush with needles that was about 5-6 meters away from him. ‘I better not crash into that thing’ thought the black-haired guy as he molded chakra for the second attempt.
Weird energy started to circulate in the body, but the guy was not unfamiliar with it thanks to the Jyuuken. He bit his lip a little as the chakra started to settle on the different places and decided to go for it in a few seconds. Pale purple eyes looked up from the ground before they focused on the needle bush.

Chakra then started to work through the muscles and the guy decided to go for it. He tried to shunshin towards the bush from his current place while he hoped that he would not end up with any serious injuries.
Suddenly, it felt like someone had pulled the center of his torso forwards as fast as they could before they cut the cord or wire. “Whoa!” said Minoru before he felt into some soft grass that was right next to him. He started to think on what could have gone wrong as he tried to get back up again.

‘I can rule out practise of ninjutsu since I have done this jutsu many many times before and know it very well. But I am not sure if the chakra was molded in a good enough way since I could not move this time.
And it felt like someone had pulled the middle of my back forwards, so perhaps that is where the chakra have to be sent. I’ll give this another try’ thought the male while he brushed some grass away from his blue sweater. It was time for another try that would hopefully be a success.

All of the chakra was then focused into the muscles before the body decided that it was time for some action. The black-haired guy moved his legs and started on his way towards the needle bushes for the second time.
He noticed that his whole body moved a lot faster than what it usually did, which was a good sign. Almost all of the blur that had appeared earlier was literally gone from sight now...everything was good so far. All of his body then came to a halt when all of the chakra had been used.

The guy looked around to see if he had managed to reach the target that he would use until his technique had improved. He saw the bush was a foot or two in front of him, which meant that it was time to practise on the distance.
‘All right...the shunshin can make me move this fast for 10 meters or so. Time to crank up the distance since I have made it halfway now’ thought Minoru before he selected a new target. It had to be about 10 meters away if this was going to work.

‘Hm...I think I should take that spruce over there’ thought the male while he looked at a spruce tree that was about on the same size as he was. He closed his eyes as he focused on the chakra that ran around in his young body.
The amount was a bit bigger than the last time, but the instance had increased a bit too. All of the weird energy was then sent to the different joints after ten seconds or so had passed. Would the next attempt be a success or a failure?

The male decided to move towards the spruce tree. He took a step forward but it felt like his legs suddenly went several times faster than what could be considered normal by any means. It was an extremely weird feeling for Minoru, who now tried to be as steady as possible so he did not fall into anything.
Everything around him stopped...the jutsu had ended now. The guy blinked before he noticed that the spruce tree he had chosen was right in front of his face.

A smile formed when he realized that the jutsu had worked this time. He had managed to shunshin almost 10 meters while he stood still! ‘Maybe I can test out how the shunshin works with different types of speed now.
I already know how it works with the highest speed I can get, so perhaps it is time for a jog or a walk’ thought the Genin before he started on a small stroll through the forest in front of him. His muscles were a little tired so the shunshin would have to wait a little while.

Both feet hit the forest floor but the sounds were muted a bit by the soft ground. The male started to prepare chakra for another try on the shunshin jutsu. ‘I think that should be my target for the next try’ thought the black-haired guy as he looked on a rock that was on the same size as a large dog.
The rock seemed to be about 5-6 meters away from the guy’s current location. Most of the weird energy had already started to spread around in his muscles, which was a somewhat odd feeling for the guy.

He could feel his joints tingle...it was time to see how far he could teleport himself this time. Everything went blurry for a moment or two and his body suddenly moved forward with a speed that could not be achieved without chakra or extreme training of some sort. After a second or two, Minoru found himself to be a bit unbalanced and struggled to keep himself upright.
“Ouff!” said the male after he had felt on all fours. ‘I have to do something about this...I’m sick of falling down all the time’ thought the guy before he brushed off some pine needles off the knees on his trousers.

He then saw the dog-sized stone stand about a meter away from the place that he currently stood at. The Genin sweared inside his mind since this meant that he had to try one more time before he could move on.
‘A jutsu like this can only be trained a certain number of times before it becomes dreadful’ thought the guy as he walked towards the start point once more. But this would probably be the last time he re-learned this jutsu for a while. When this was done, the black-haired male would train on the byakugan and some genjutsu.

He was ready for another try a few seconds later when he was back to the place where he had started from. Chakra ran through his body together with the blood and gave him a familiar rush that made his body ready for battle.
The male started to walk towards the rock, now with somewhat slower speed than last time so the muscles were not stressed. ‘Focus now, focus!’ thought Minoru as the target came closer and closer to him. Suddenly, his body started to move extremely fast again and the shunshin had started once more.

Lavender optics widened by the sudden movement since it had required less effort than the previous one had. ‘Where’s the rock!?’ thought the guy while he looked around to see where his target was at the moment.
A mix of relief and happiness when through his body as he realized that the rock was now almost a meter behind him. It was time to go to the last stage of the shunshin training now. The next target would be a maple tree that was at least 15 meters from where the Genin stood right now.

‘Shunshin no jutsu!’ thought the male as the chakra started to run through his body with higher speed than ever before. He jogged towards the target as he tried to focus his chakra at all of the joints located at his body.
The weird energy went to the neck, shoulders, elbows, center of the spine, hips, kneecaps and ankles before the real things started to happen. The black-haired guy was then sent forwards in a very fast motion and now stood right in front of the maple tree. ‘Hey...I did not fall this time!’ thought the guy before he grinned, proud of his achievement.

Byakugan.
Rank: “C” Rank.
Skill: Ninjutsu.
Effect: Allows the user to use the byakugan.
Special: ---
Drawback: Byakugan user has a 360 degree field of vision, with the exception of a small blind spot behind the user's first thoracic vertebrae (as stated in the manga). Lacks the power of analysis. This is demonstrated in an anime filler arc by Ranmaru, who created false chakra circulatory systems through the use of a dôjutsu (possibly a bloodline limit), causing the Byakugan to see inanimate objects as people and the objects themselves at the same time. However, it is not considered canon in a filler episode that a Byakugan user is unable to see the workings of such an “illusion”.
Description: Can see the minuscule chakra pressure points. With the use of certain hand seals, it also has telescopic, X-ray, and thermal vision. The Byakugan is the key to Konohagakure's strongest taijutsu, the Jyuuken, as it allows the user to see the chakra circulatory system of an opponent. Each level of its insight can therefore be mystified by proper means. When first learned they are capable of seeing up to fifty yards in a 360 Degree radius except for that blind spot. Each time learned this amount of distance is increased by ten yards. When the user reaches up to a distance of One hundred yards the amount of training is increased to that of “B” Rank level training. The amount of distance is still increased by ten. When the user reaches up to a distance of four hundred yards the user is capable of seeing even further but with an amount of “A” Rank training.
Limit: Must be part of the Hyuuga Bloodlimit.

The male laid in the bed while he read some manga he had bought the day before. ‘Hm...this is a funny episode’ thought Minoru as he read the speech bubbles in one of the frames printed at one of the pages.
Suddenly, a sound that sounded like steps downstairs caught his attention. It was early in the morning and most of the Hyuugas were asleep. ‘Better be safe than sorry’ thought the guy as he started to prepare some chakra for his doujutsu.

‘BYAKUGAN!’ thought the Genin before his doujutsu kicked into action. He studied his room first to make sure that he was not under some genjutsu or oto jutsu. ‘Good...I am the only one inside this room’ thought the male as he turned his attention to the other rooms in his hallway.
The room to his left would be the first one to undergo the X-ray stare of his doujutsu. His eyes literally zoomed through the wall before it entered the targeted bedroom.

‘I doubt the person in this room was the cause of the nuisance’ thought the black-haired guy when he saw that there was only one person in the other room. And that person happened to be a small 7-8 years old Hyuuga girl that was asleep.
His eyes then darted towards the room on his right to check if the culprit hid in there. But the room seemed to be empty; the owner was perhaps on a mission or had already left the building. It was time to see if there was anyone in the hallway outside the bedrooms.

Pale purple eyes powered up with mysterious energy blinked as they entered the large hallway outside all the main house rooms. He looked to the left but could not see anything or anyone that made him suspicious.
The right side got the same result...perhaps the guilty was someone from the branch house? ‘I live close to the stairway and I’m sure that the sound did not came from the rooms further in the hallway. What the-’.

His vision started to blur; the reason why was that there was not enough chakra to maintain it. The guy sent some more chakra to his eyes while he prayed that he did not have to activate them one more time.
His prayers were answered when the blur disappeared and he could continue his small investigation of the Hyuuga mansion. Both optics narrowed as they tried to get into the branch house territory. The hallway there was just as empty as on the main house side...maybe the culprit was inside one of the rooms?

As for room number one, it contained a 9-10 year old branch house boy that seemed to practise on some sort of jutsu. Minoru narrowed his eyes as he checked on the child’s chakra flow since it would give him a clue about the rank.
‘That does not look like a lot of chakra to me’ thought the male as he studied the chakra network. Suddenly, the boy turned into a chopstick. ‘He’s practising the henge no jutsu’ thought the Genin as the branch house child transformed back a few second later.

Suddenly, a stronger version of the previous noise caught the guy’s keen ears. ‘Sounds like it comes from downstairs. I just hope it’s not a burglar or anything’ thought the guy as he let his eyes wander towards the floor below him...he hoped it was not a burglar since everyone was asleep.
The black-haired male decided to go through the floor and sent a little more chakra to his eyes in order to make sure he eyes could make it.

‘Whoa! This is the first time I have managed to look through floors in that way!’ thought the male with a big smile on his face. He then started his search for the one who had caused the noise that he had heard twice within the last five minutes.
Number one on the list was the living room, which turned out to not have any people in it at all. But the guilty one appeared when Minoru checked the kitchen; it was a Chuunin who had probably just got home from a night patrol or something.

After some boring shunshin training, it was finally time for some much-needed genjutsu training. The male flipped through some ninjutsu books that were in one of the shelves on his room while he tried to find another jutsu to learn.
‘I think I should start out with something easy. I have not trained genjutsu in a couple months or so’ thought Minoru as his eyes flicked from side to side. He then saw a jutsu that could be nice to know if he was up against some enemies that were easy to scare away.

‘Cloak of fears will surround me with energies that make me look more threatening than usual. It lasts for a decent amount of time too and it will not take away too much chakra. I better pay a visit to one of my friends since nobody in this house are vulnerable to genjutsu’ thought the guy before he shut the book.
He exited the house a minute later before he decided to visit his friend Ichiro. Ichiro had been one of the best genjutsu users in their class, so he would be the perfect person to instruct him for this.

He found his ex-classmates house after a few minutes before he knocked on the door. The door opened up after about 20 seconds of waiting and revealed a teenager boy with short, unruly brown hair.
“Minoru-kun! I have not seen you in a month or so” said the male with a toothy smile on his face. “I know...but I need some help with a genjutsu named cloak of fears” said the Genin while he hoped his friend would give him some help with this one.

Amber eyes scanned the paper before they looked back at the lavender eyes filled with hope. “Right, come in and I will show you how to do this” said the other Genin before he let him inside his house.
“Pay close attention to my handseals Minoru-kun” said the guy before he started on a set of handseals. The male repeated them a few times; the combination was not that hard to remember. He looked at his friend and felt chills ran down his spine.

Some dark energy seemed to surround the brunett; it was almost like a bunch of evil spirits had surrounded him. “This jutsu is not that hard to do. I think you can do it in two tries or so” said Ichiro before he cancelled out the genjutsu that he had just used.
“OK” said the black-haired guy as he molded an amount of chakra that should be enough for a “D”-ranked jutsu. He then thought of the dark energy that the other guy had made around his body.

Both hands then started on a small string of handseals that only took a few seconds for him to perform. “Cloak of fears!” muttered the guy while he released the chakra and tried to craft dark energy out of it.
He remembered what his friend had done and tried to make something similar with the chakra he had used now. It was not as easy as he thought and the other Genin did not seem that frightened. “How bad was it?” asked Minoru after he had cancelled out his genjutsu.

“I think you need to focus your chakra a tad bit so it looks more scary. But I liked the shapes of the energy around you” said male with a hint of encouragement in his voice.
“Right. I will give this another try then” said the male as he molded a somewhat larger amount of chakra for the next attempt. He focused a little more on the task so he could improve his overall performance for this jutsu.

Handseals were launched in a slightly shorter amount of time since the Genin was more used to the handseals now. “Cloak of fears!” said the guy before the chakra started to form sinister energy around his body.
“Now we’re talking! It looks a lot better now…let’s just see how long it lasts” said the Genin before he looked at the watch strapped to his wrist. The genjutsu did last up to the max time, so it could be considered as mastered now.

“What other genjutsu do you think can become useful?” asked the male as he looked at the other guy with curiosity in his eyes. “Well, it is always hard to find a genjutsu that can scare the heck out of everyone you might face. But there is a “C”-ranked jutsu that is guaranteed to scare everyone” said Ichiro who now had a large smile on his face. “Is there really a jutsu like that!? Tell me more please” said Minoru, who was excited to hear more about the genjutsu.

“First is the jutsu’s name; the genjutsu is named awakened fears. The reason why it can scare everyone is because this genjutsu shows the enemy what they fear the most.
But the disadvantage is that the jutsu can only work on one person at the time and it is not as strong as higher-ranked jutsus” said the male. “Hm…it’s kind of hard to learn a jutsu like this since the chakra has to be focused in a different way. But I will give it a shot” said the guy before he gave his friend a nod.

‘I suppose the fear thing have something to do with the fantasy or something like that. Here it goes’ thought the Genin as he started to mold chakra that would be used for the first attempt on this weird genjutsu.
All of what his friend had told him about the effects echoed in his mind as the weird energy was refined for genjutsu use. “These are the handseals. Sorry that I forgot to show them to you before you started” said the other Genin before he started on a set of handseals.

Some of the colour on the male’s face disappeared since that combination was a tad bit tricky to do. “Awakened fears” muttered the black-haired guy after a well-intentioned try on the unfamiliar handseal combination.
All of the chakra was released from its cage before it was aimed on the other guy’s brain. If this went well, the brunett would soon be caught within an illusion of what he feared the most. Pale purple eyes narrowed as they studied the male’s face, but he did not seem to react on the genjutsu whatsoever.

“You can not feel anything or…?” asked the guy with a somewhat disappointed voice since he had expected a slight reaction at least. “Nope, I cannot feel anything at all” said the other male.
“I think I have to repeat the handseals a few more times. I am a bit unfamiliar with that combination” said Minoru before his lifted his hands once more. He weaved in and out of the handseals one of the time as he tried to memorize them.

‘Hm...I think I have to focus the chakra on the unconscious part of the brain to make it scarier for the target. I guess I have to ask Ichiro-kun for help if that does not work’ thought the male as he tried to mold some more chakra for his next attempt.
Since this jutsu was a “C”-rank, the previous amount was probably not large enough to carry out the jutsu properly. It did not take long before the chakra had been refined and collected once more. His hands were then raised and did the required handseals with more ease compared to last time.

“Awakened fears!” said the Genin before the jutsu was released at a curious Ichiro. The guy tried to focus the chakra on the brain and the unconscious part of it, wherever that was located in the human mind.
Amber eyes then widened a bit in fear as the chakra started to have its effect on the teenager’s imagination as well as the unconscious part of his brain. Both corners on the lips of the black-haired males face curled into a smile. It seemed like the jutsu had a bigger effect now.

“Can you please cancel out the genjutsu now!? This is a bit troublesome to say at the least” said the other guy, who seemed to be more uncomfortable than ever before.
“Will do” said the male before he cancelled out the genjutsu that the brunett had been subjected to. “All right, I think we can have a break now. Genjutsus like that are kind of uncomfortable” said the other male.

[Minoru Hyuuga]

Magen: Narakumi no jutsu (Demonic illusion: Hell viewing technique).
Rank: “C” Rank.
Skill: Genjutsu.
Effect: A genjutsu in which causes the opponent to see a grand horrifying vision. A technique that is used by most of the ANBU kind but is known for all genjutsu users in order to scare their opponents greatly hoping to perhaps make them run off in fear.
Special: “Handseals”.
Drawback: The genjutsu non-specialist is only capable of learning up to the “B” rank version of this technique. Depending on the rank of the technique is dependent on how well, how far, as well as how large the user is capable of using this technique.
Description: The user creates and holds the rat handsign. As the user does, so the figment of leaves begins to circle all around in circular fashion as the opponent is engulfed into the genjutsu. Then the technique takes in place as what the user wishes the opponent to see they are capable of seeing. The figment however has to be considered a horrifying state of creation. When the user learns the “C” Rank version, they are capable of creating medium to large size horrifying creations with a distance of thirty meters in radius of the user. If the user is a genjutsu specialist by the time, they learn the “B” Rank version of the technique the user is capable of creating the image without the figment of leaves as a basis.
Limit: Must know Pattern perception. Genjutsu specialist is capable of going into all ranks of this technique.

“I think you will like the next jutsu that I have in store for you. It’s a jutsu that can scare of several people in a certain range” said the male before he looked at his friend. “Sounds great, but there are many genjutsus that can do that” said the other male with a voice tinted with confusion.
“I know. The jutsu that I will learn you is the magen narakumi no jutsu and is a good starter jutsu in the pattern perception” said Ichiro with a small grin on his face.

“Keep a look at the handseals I do since you have to hold the last one” said the guy as he started to perform some handseals. Minoru nodded before he tried to mimick the handseals that the other Genin did.
When the last one came, he almost forgot to hold it. “I will demonstrate the jutsu at you now. This jutsu is multi-ranked but I think the “C”-ranked version will be good to start with” said the male as he started to mold the amount of chakra that he needed for this.

Lavender eyes narrowed a little when the brunett started on the set of handseals that he had tried to mimick for just moments ago. “Magen! Narakumi no jutsu!” said the guy before the chakra was released into the air around him. It did not take long before some scary forms started to appear.
Various beasts that you could only find in Japanese mythology started to shape out of the dark energies that were now released in the entire room.

An onryo crawled on the floor while a nekomata with white fur looked at the other guy with a creepy look in its eyes. Chills went down the Genin’s spine; ghosts and spirits like these were one of the things that he feared the most.
“If someone attacked me with this jutsu, I doubt I would have been able to continue to fight” said the male while he looked at Ichiro. “Good. That is the whole point with an illusion like this” said the male before the genjutsu was cancelled out.

“This jutsu is supposed to make medium to large sized horrifying creations. I think the range was on 30 meters or something like that” said the Genin as he rubbed his eyes a little bit.
“Are there any drawbacks?” asked the black-haired guy while he looked at his friend. “If you are a genjutsu non-specialist, you can only learn up to “B”-rank. And that you can only push it out in a certain distance” said the guy as he counted the drawbacks on his average-sized fingers.

“I suppose I can give it a go now” said the guy before he started to mold an amount of chakra that would be enough for the first try. ‘I can create quite large creatures, but I think I will stick with the smaller ones first. I should be able to learn larger ones when I master the jutsu completely’ thought Minoru as the chakra started to gather inside his chakra network.
A familiar rush went through his body and his hands started on the handseal combination that was required. “Magen! Narakumi no jutsu!” said the male before the chakra was pushed out in the room.

He studied the facial expression on the brunett to see if he got scared of the illusions that were supposed to be there. “I can see what you have made, but they are not that frightening. Try to make them a bit more frightening in appearance on your next try” said the male with a hint of encouragement in his voice.
The Genin nodded before he collected some chakra for his next attempt on the narakumi no jutsu. He tried to remember the feedback he had got as well as the illusions that his friend had made for a few minutes ago.

When the necessary amount of chakra had been gathered, both hands were lifted and did all the handseals within a couple of seconds. “Magen! Narakumi no jutsu!” said the guy as the chakra was released into the room and started to form illusions that Ichiro should be able to see.
Amber eyes widened a bit in fear; it was obvious that he could see the illusions now. “Good work; those illusions should be enough to stop someone. Let’s call it a day” said the guy.
