Hikaru was bored from all the training she had been doing so she decided that she would try and train a different kind of way. Hikaru then got out of her bed as she then landed on the soft mat that lay under her bed. She then started to get dressed, first she took off her top and threw it aside. She then started to walk towards the training ground. She reached it and realized that it was fuller than usual, so it was hard for her to find a nice and quiet spot. She then found a spot at the corner of the training ground. She then set up her training equipment and started. She ran towards a wooden dummy and shouted "Hya!" as she performed the mountain crusher technique, obliterating the dummy.

Hikaru smirked as she then placed another wooden dummy in front of her. Hikaru then jumped into the air and was about to land on the wooden dummy until it shot up into the air. She then started to infuse chakra into her hand and prepared to strike at the wooden dummy. Hikaru shouted as she used her new mountain crusher technique on the wooden dummy. She then landed at caught the pieces of wood that were falling towards her head. I'm a little more than halfway there. I just need to send my targets further away and expand the cone of energy. Right now, it's not much better than my mountain crusher technique.

The Hyuuga took a good hour to simply focus and think about where she needed to improve on the technique. The most obvious was to increase the overall power of the technique. The second most obvious was to get the cone of energy at the exact right dimension. If she expanded the cone too much, it wouldn't do any damage, and if she didn't expand it enough, the energy wouldn't be spread wide enough to do any meaningful damage. The third most obvious was to start striking vital areas. If she could seal tenketsu in an extremely vital area of the body, then she would be much better off in a fight.

She then set up a course that she could only finish. She then started it. First was the wooden dummies which she thrust with ease. then came the fire balls that were flying at her at incredible pace. She then replaced herself as quick as she could and reappeared behind the Genin who had volunteered to shoot the fireballs. She then preformed the necessary steps and took out a wave of wooden opponents. She then hid herself away from sight. She then left the training grounds and went back home. When she reached her home she then took of all her clothes and then took a nice long shower. When that was done she then put on her s and started to organize the equipment for the next day. When she was finished she then packed up every thing and went straight to bed.

The next day, Hikaru woke up to find a scroll that her parents had left on her bedside table. She felt guilty for needing a scroll to start her training, but she didn't have any choice since she seemed to lack the natural talent to learn the finer details of the technique by herself. This was the best chance she had at obtaining higher knowledge. She closed the door behind her as she left the house. The weather was pretty fine and dandy if she did say so herself. She was wearing a coat in addition her usual garb. It wasn't all that cold but she felt a little depressed that morning, mostly due to her lack of progress.

As she walked through the streets, she found herself bumping into others and not caring one bit. The Hyuuga shrugged off their gazes and continued walking towards the training grounds. Today she would train alone in the center of a fairly large blockade of trees. Pulling the scroll from her picket, she noticed that it was wrapped in blue string and was stamped with some marking Hikaru didn't recognize. She placed the scroll on the floor, placed her hand over it, and started undoing the string. Once she got it open, she stated to read it thoroughly. The mountain crusher technique in its entirety was so complex that it would take days to go through the entire scroll.

Not only was performing the technique at is full capacity powerful as hell, it was also dangerous enough to kill the user or the opponent if used improperly. Since it required so much chakra and precise control, it would be easy to give way too much chakra. In this case, the user wouldn't have enough chakra to take another breath even though the opponent would probably be obliterated by the raw surge of energy. She thought hard about the risk of learning the technique further and closed her pupils. She needed to know how useful this would be in combat so she thought harder than she had ever thought before about learning a technique.

Hikaru placed her hand on her head and felt that her entire body was heating up. She went through different scenarios in her mind as she tried to figure out when she would actually end up using this mountain crusher technique. After a good hour of thinking, she opened her pupils and decided that this technique was definitely worth learning even if it had a small chance of being used in battle. She then realized that she had been mumbling her thoughts the whole time. Geeze I guess I'm a little out of it today. Hopefully I'll come to my senses by the time I start reading more into this technique.

Hikaru shut her pupil again and started to focus the pattern of her chakra. A good pattern of chakra made even the insignificant flaw in the technique easier to deal with. The teen opened one of her pupil's slightly and started to stare at the instructions. With her pupil's closed she begun to walk through the steps. She continuously repeated them until she had them memorized. It was essential that she knew everything to the technique even the steps. After several minutes of silence Hikaru started to meditate. She rested her hands on her knees and focused. She moved the chakra from one point of her body to the other. She charged an alarming amount of chakra and moved it around her body. After a while she felt relaxed with the chakra control and felt that she could finally attempt trying the technique. She stood up and relaxed her body with a couple stretches.

By now, the sky was very dim and what little warmth Hikaru felt was now gone. The Hyuuga noticed this, but it didn't concern her much at all. After a short break, she walked over to a different training area and jumped onto the grass. Her clothes were rather wet and her mercury eyes were getting tired of reading so much. She did a few stretches before she tried again the technique. She had noticed the chakra bolt and the requirements to learn how to perform the technique properly. She firstly had to be able to control the chakra around her and with that make a small intense gathering of chakra in her palm which she could use to strike an opponent.

She smirked when she realized that she had just come up with a good training regimen unlike all the other attempts that failed oh so miserably. The Hyuuga hesitated as she formed the chakra. The steps came to her naturally, she didn't actually need the scroll anymore and was right when she put it away. She had a confident smirk on her face as she molded some chakra into energy for her Jyuuken style. The genin closed her eyes and stepped backwards. With every step she would put out more and more chakra until she could finally gather enough energy in her palm.

Hikaru quickly shook her limbs. She took that chakra, then ran up to a wooden practice dummy that happened to be there. With a shout, the teen struck the dummy and obliterated it where it stood. She gasped as she felt all the chakra leave her body and was kind of pissed that she had used so much of her precious chakra source. Sure she had more than the average person's amount of chakra due to her Hoshigaki traits, but it was still depressing to waste that much energy on a single technique.

She was making progress in the rain but was afraid that her inner self might develop a cold or worse if she stayed out much more dragged out so she promised her heart she would only try a few more then take shelter. She got into position and started to concentrate her chakra again feeling the excitement in the base of her feet. She felt it grow a little stronger as she held it and then exhaled letting go of the chakra again. This time she did good but Hikaru was quickly becoming bored so she congratulated herself for the reprieve she would acquire following successfully completing the next practicing concentration.

Hikaru then took the rest of the day to rest. The next day, she decided to try incorporating shunshin into her attack. Even though she couldn't attack while shunshin-ing, it was still totally possible to attack right before or after shunshin-ing. Walking up to a tree, Hikaru concentrated a ton of chakra into her palm and thrust it into the bark. She watched as the energy released and penetrated the tough wood. As soon as the attack was over with, Hikaru shunshined to the left and shunshined forwards to hide behind another tree. That wasn't all that effective. Maybe I should try it the other way around.

Hikaru then took another day long break before training again. She didn't want to accidentally use shunshin more times that she was used to. She was, after all, training her bombardment technique and not her shunshin technique. The next day, Hikaru made her up to a different tree and made sure she was precisely ten meters away from it. She then shunshined right in front of the tree and drew back her palm. When she built up enough energy, she released the energy thus obliterating the tree bark. Now that was pretty effective! Hikaru thought as she smiled at the effectiveness of the combination.

Hikaru spent the rest of the week repeating this exercise. She wanted to make sure if she used this technique, that it was likely to hit its target since she would be shunshin-ing right next to her target. And since she wouldn't build chakra until she knew she hit her target, she would have an easier time conserving energy if she missed. After sunshinning a bunch and breaking a bunch more trees, the Hyuuga made her way home for a well deserved break.

She got into her usual mode and fed concentrated chakra to the technique once again getting in return a light excitement from the base of her feet. God, learning the bombardment technique sure is a drag. It's been so much more dragged out then any other technique she had learned. On top of that she didn't even know how much longer it would take... Sure she thought she was at the halfway point but who knows? she might have even just started in comparison to how far she have to go. Hikaru figured as she exhaled. But knew she was dismayed and hurt her on the head for it as if to say 'Don't give up Hikaru.' Hikaru smiled and as she moseyed towards home said "You're right she need to stop thinking like that and just continue practicing! Let's take shelter."

When she got to Home Hikaru tried to sleep but couldn't bring herself to do it herself so instead stayed up and ate snacks. following going through a bag she figured to train one more time in her house and got into position. She concentrated chakra again to the base of her feet and the excitement turned to a gentle quiver. She was getting closer and Hikaru smiled as she exhaled.

Hikaru woke up early in the morning. Her subconscious sighed and tiredly started pumping hard. Hikaru hadn't slept that night and had laid awake excited about learning the technique which was taking a lot more dragged out then she thought it would to learn. "It's sunny today and we have a whole day of practicing ahead of us." Hikaru said to her subconscious happily and the reply was another sigh. She moseyed outside into the crowded streets of Konoha and breathed in a great breath of fresh water outstretching her arms. Then she moseyed in the direction of the practicing area deciding to continue her training.

When she got to the area Hikaru got into a crouch bending her knees and performing the steps necessary to perform the bombardment technique. Hikaru's muscles where stretched tight as she concentrated chakra into the base of her feet where she needed to insert the most about of torque as she performed the attack. She felt a dull quiver coming from the base of her feet as she concentrated trying in vain to perform the bombardment technique and only achieving a slightly stronger reaction then before.

Hikaru wasn't upset though and just got into the training mood again and concentrated her chakra to the same place. She could feel breathing deeply in sleep on her neck as she focused the chakra and smiled through her grind teeth. When she felt she had held the concentration for lengthy enough she exhaled in a sigh as she let the chakra run freely through her body once more. She thought once again of her adventure... Once she was ready for another round she made a step and concentrated the chakra to the base of her feet again. The reaction became a little stronger this time and as she exhaled finally stirred on her own.

Hikaru proclaimed proudly but seeing her subconscious reaction suddenly Hikaru realized that ten minutes wasn't really a lengthy time to train. She laughed it off and got ready for another go. Hikaru got ready for more boring practicing and following she was in the position she had been in countless times started concentrating her chakra again to the area in her feet where the technique of learning was located and felt about the same reaction the technique had been giving her for the final few tries. She did no care though as she had just started practicing and wasn't beginning to bore easily yet.

Her feet squeaked against the slightly moist ground as Hikaru got into position. Hikaru remembered yesterday it was the other way around and that her subconscious had woken her up for practicing. She guess it works both ways then. When she wasn't peering out for herself her subconscious did it for her. That was pretty nice to know. Hikaru, for the fifth time that day, got into position for chakra concentration. She was getting her chakra to flow into the technique of which in return seemed the be giving off a gentle quiver in her body. She then approached a tree and performed the bombardment technique, shattering a good portion of its trunk. I'm improving, she thought with a smile.

Hikaru then approached a wooden dummy and completely obliterated it with her bombardment technique and watched the pitiful wooden dummy's remains get tossed back fifteen meters. She was indeed improving but she still had a long ways to go. She had to pretty much double what she could already do and focus even more on chakra control. Mastering such a high level Jyuuken technique sure was taking a toll on her stamina.

This reaction had been happening for quit some time was and Hikaru was somewhat familiar with this reaction. She wished silently that the reaction would change to something stronger and even though she technically couldn't hear the bombardment technique the reactions it gave her reminded Hikaru of sounds and she wanted to hear a louder one or, realistically speaking, she wanted the technique to increase in power. When Hikaru felt she had had enough focusing chakra she exhaled and let the energy flow freely within her body again. She shrugged it off and figured to just resume her practicing instead of thinking about pointless things.

She got into her training mood and began again to concentrate chakra to her Bombardment technique. She was busy thinking as she concentrated and didn't stop concentrating chakra. She held it for about two minutes before noticing she had forgotten to stop focusing chakra. She abruptly paused and took a big breath more tired then usual following concentrating due to the accidental overuse of chakra. following about ten seconds she had regained her composure and was ready for more practicing. She got into position again and this time as she began to concentrate remembered to stop before a minute was up exhaling as she did.

The quiver she got from this try was slightly stronger then the other ones so it seemed she had made even more improvement. She prided herself in this most recent step in her practicing and was empowered and ready for more practicing. Hikaru got into a crouch and made a step for better concentration. Hikaru shut her eyes as she concentrated all the chakra she could into the base of her palms the location of the technique. She felt a gentle quiver in the base of her palms as the focused chakra was sent to it. She exhaled again as she let go of the concentrated chakra.

Hikaru was getting sick of practicing and didn't feel up to it. So Hikaru grudgingly agreed and got into her focusing position. She concentrated the chakra into the base of her palms once again and felt the familiar quiver of the technique reacting to Hikaru's concentrated chakra flowing through it. Hikaru exhaled again. She then held out her palm and released the chakra and realized that if she wasn't hitting a target, the technique was pretty useless.

Hikaru once again got ready for the chakra concentration by crouching low and performing the step. Though both not necessary Hikaru found it made the sequence of focusing chakra all the more easy. When she started the actual sequence her eyes closed and her muscles drew tight. This same thing had been going on for a couple days was and Hikaru estimated she was about two thirds of the way finished. As usual a gentle quiver was emanating from the base of her palms as she concentrated her chakra. She exhaled as she let the chakra slip away again. I hope this is over soon. This is getting rather boring if I do say so myself.

Hikaru got ready for more practicing and got into the position she had been in for every other time she had trained for her previous attempts at training the technique. Hikaru started to paid attention chakra into the base of her palms increasing it until the quiver coming from palms was even greater then final time following which she exhaled having again accomplished more then before. It was drawing close to Noon as the sun was getting pretty high so Hikaru figured to try a few more times then acquire lunch from home. She put her hands into a seal and started to paid attention her chakra directing it to the base of her palms. The palms quivered as she focused and then Hikaru let it go again.

Hikaru got into the position again and started to paid attention with great determination. Her technique produced a quiver as chakra was channeled through it but Hikaru could only barely hear it over her stomach. She was getting hungrier by the minute and as she exhaled she couldn't wait to be done with her next practicing regiment. Hikaru got into position for the final time before she would take shelter and eat. She channeled concentrated chakra to her Bombardment technique which again produced a quiver which was getting louder. Hikaru was glad that she wouldn't have to deal with technique practicing for much more dragged out and as she exhaled she stood and turned towards her home.

The next day, Hikaru moseyed into the daylight the sun high in the air above and faced for the practicing area where Hikaru would again train to fully perform the bombardment technique. She passed many villagers and fellow shinobi without a word. Today she would try to further the distance she could launch opponents using her bombardment technique. Sigh, another day training, what a drag. I really should go a mission sometime or another. Then I'd get paid.

As she got into the training mood she used for easier chakra channeling the water blew making her hair flow out behind her and the leafs in the plants rustle. She concentrated chakra into the base of her palms and felt a quiver swell up from the bombardment technique of chakra. She was getting closer all the time and she couldn't wait till the moment when finally she would be able to fully perform the bombardment technique. As she exhaled she thought that maybe she should follow into the forest and acquire a reprieve from all the practicing. following all giving the technique a rest would probably make it even more and more powerful.

She figured to follow this whim as she usually did and moseyed into the area of plants calling for. Her subconscious jumped from one branch to the other and it reminded Hikaru of how a Konoha shinobi was supposed to move through the forest. As she concentrated chakra into her palms she jumped from a branch directly unto the plant and started running, vertically, following her gut instinct. When she finally arrived, Hikaru figured and peering down at the ground wasn't the best idea when you were so high up. Even so, Hikaru used the bombardment technique twice on nearby tree branches for practice's sake.

She got into position again in the odd plant area and closed her eyes concentrating chakra into the base of her palms. Hikaru exhaled and let the chakra again flow freely. This place... It's so calming, she feel as if her chakra flows easier here. This plant must be special and knew it and brought me here. What a great subconscious... She never thought she would meet anything like it. Hikaru began again getting into a crouch and performing the step. She was so close to learning the technique in its entirety. She knew it. She could feel it deep within her. She focused chakra to the base of her palms and a loud quiver emanated from the Bombardment technique being released into the air.

Hikaru exhaled in surprise as she opened her eyes. Whoa She was never gotten such a strong reaction from the technique... This has to mean she was extremely close! Just a little bit further and She'd have taken the biggest step in her practicing yet. One of eight to come she can do this! Hikaru figured to herself with glee as she got ready to train again. This time she tried practicing in a crouch again but instead of a step she put her hands in front of her so the touched the wall of the plant as she channeled her chakra in the Bombardment technique. Instantly, the plant was ripped to shreds by pure energy.

She tried again same position as last. She concentrated the chakra into the technique and this time as soon as it got there Hikaru withdrew and inhaled in surprise. The explanation as to why Hikaru had given this reaction was that on top of her head on her right temple she had felt a tiny tremor. Hikaru had read this was a sign that she was on the right track. She felt more chakra then usual rushing through her veins and more power in her muscles. She suddenly felt light because of the increase in her legs power and she jumped out of the plant and landed perfectly unharmed on the ground since she used the bombardment technique at the ground to soften her fall. She wasn't all the way there yet, but she was surely getting there.

It was at this point that Hikaru decided to start training more heavily on dummies. Hikaru didn't bother to redo her moist bandages and instead just stepped away from the wooden dummy and got ready to perform the bombardment technique. She again used her incomplete bombardment technique performing the bombardment technique straight up into the wooden dummy's jaw sending it flying into the air and used her skills to appear behind it in. She barely got her palm to make contact but it did make contact. She surfaced again this time the wooden dummy coming with her as Hikaru was still gripping what remained of it and she swam to shore.

Hikaru once again placed up the wooden dummy and thought about her two attempts at the perform the bombardment technique. Well it seems that first she need to improve on wrapping her palm against the wooden dummy then she can paid attention on more important areas. Hikaru took a quick reprieve to dry in the sun. She looked to the wooden dummy and again performed the bombardment technique at it using her incomplete bombardment technique to send it flying into the water. Then she jumped with her skills and appeared behind it.

She connected her palm against the helpless wooden dummy and drove it into the water making a big splash. She surfaced behind the wooden dummy trailing behind her and brought them both to shore setting up the wooden dummy once more for her practicing purposes. Hikaru performed the bombardment technique up to the wooden dummy once again sending it flying into the water. Once it was there she used her skills to appear in the water behind it. She surfaced holding the wooden dummy and swam to shore. When she got there she placed it up and moseyed away.

Hikaru looked towards her bloodied and battered palm. She was thrilled that her strikes were becoming oh so powerful, but the location she was hitting was less than ideal. her hands were covered in blood, burnt slightly, and likely had a bruise or two. Hikaru was fed up with the tiny details required for the technique. She never seemed to be without an area to improve on. She was cunning and seemingly without flaw but this was just her appearance. How could Hikaru beat an opponent without this overpowered attack? Hikaru’s eyes narrowed focusing on performing the bombardment technique at its full capacity. Hikaru continued to look at her target, an eerie silence overwhelmed the training area. Hikaru stood there focused assuming her target would eventually jump back into action even though it was a wooden dummy.

Suddenly her the dummy seemed to disappear out of thin air. Hikaru knew this situation was not going to end well since there was no way the dummy could be moving. She was probably hallucinating since she hadn't slept in days. Her eyes darted from one location to another; her eyes looked around in a state of panic. Finding the dummy was to no avail. The dummy then re-appeared as quickly as she disappeared. After shaking her day, her senses recovered. She then ran up to the wooden dummy and thrust her palm into it. It was at this point that the bombardment technique kicked in and obliterated its target, sending the remains hurtling backwards.

Dust flew off of the floor as she took off towards the next dummy at full speed. She was heading straight towards her new foe, her face displaying nothing but pure determination. Hikaru yelled as she attempted to deliver another bombardment technique, aiming it for the dummy's temple. She landed on the ground for a split second before leaving it once more. She jumped in the air and attempted a yet another strike on the next wooden dummy. Landing softly on the ground in front of her next target she sent two quick punches at the nose of the persistent fighter. Hikaru jumped back to create some space and to give her the opportunity to have a little breathing room.

She could perform the technique pretty well so far, she just needed that extra push to truly send her opponents flying away. She decided that what she needed right now was a great deal of rest so that she could effectively asses her progress. Who knew, maybe she had already mastered the bombardment technique but wasn't aware of it since she was low on chakra. I guess the only way to know is the wait and see!

Hikaru wandered off into the forest and found two people who were obviously bandits who she would test her bombardment technique on. She bet they would be perfect test subjects." Hikaru smiled and performed the bombardment technique on one of them as she approached them. One held a pipe and the other had no weapon but was very large and muscular. The jutsu connected with the scrawny one which allowed Hikaru to send a massive burst of energy out through the person's body. The victim took out a knife and rushed at Hikaru with blind rage after recovering from the attack of course. Missing his attack, the boy turned and threw the knife which missed his target and went flying towards the large man.

"Did you throw a knife at me?" the large man asked, obviously enraged as she picked up the second man with one hand and threw her against a tree. It was as if he didn't even know Hikaru was there even though a fight was going on. It sounded like the scrawny guy tried to give an excuse, but the large man knocked her out to prevent her from trying anything else. At this point, Hikaru took to the trees and spied on the large man. The guy continued on her way and Hikaru followed close behind, jumped down, then performed the bombardment technique. She focused on having the jutsu start to form ever so slowly.

The man tried to speak, but Hikaru wouldn't allow it. She forced her palm into the man's chest which released a ton of energy via her bombardment technique. She then forced the remaining person to do some push ups then punch a tree a few times. Hikaru took to the trees and spent time to restore her chakra reserves. At this point, the man thought he was going crazy. Having just been attacked then ordered to work out, he started to run around like an idiot, trying to get away from the forest area as fast as physically possible. Hikaru patiently followed behind him from the trees and chuckled to herself as she wondered what was going on in the man's mind.

Right before the man reached the end of the forest, Hikaru jumped down and used the bombardment technique once again to attack the obvious bandit. This guy is so big, it's no wonder this isn't killing him outright.. She wondered why the man didn't try fighting back, or why he didn't call out for help. In any case, she commanded the man turn back around and run back into the forest only to be lost once again. Feeling she had tested the jutsu out enough for the time being, Hikaru decided to nap around in the trees until her chakra supply returned to her. Using this jutsu in its full form truly was a huge chakra drain.

To make sure she truly mastered this technique, Hikaru got into her training mood and started feeding chakra into her palms. As she did so, she became a bit excited and felt a tingly sensation at her palms. This technique was just so difficult to learn. It only gets harder from here on however. In any case, she hoped she could quickly master the rest of the Jyuuken techniques. She assumed she was at least halfway done with all the techniques but she had no idea. It wasn't as if there was a list she could compare her progress with. Most of the house only techniques were hush hush.

Instead of napping as she usually did, Hikaru decided to take a short break and get back to controlling her chakra flow. She suddenly shunshined next to a tree and pressed her palm against the tree trunk. She then released as much chakra as she could into the tree which started the bombardment technique. Almost instantly, the tree trunk was ripped to shreds and to Hikaru's surprise, so were the tree trunks behind it. It was only now that the Hyuuga realized just how powerful this technique was. She only wished she didn't have to make contact with an opponent for the technique to work.

The next morning, Hikaru woke up rather early. Her head turned back and forth tiredly as she started to regain consciousness. She had spent almost every waking hour of the past week training and she was pretty wiped out. Hikaru moseyed on out to the training grounds and decided to finish up her previous day's training. She decided that today she would use up as much chakra as she could to simulate an all out battle experience. When she arrived, she got right down to it without warming up. She shunshined to a wooden dummy and kicked it in the head. Before the dummy's body could follow, she connected her palm with it and used the bombardment technique.

Hikaru shunshined again and bent her knees. She performed the appropriate steps to perform the technique and released her chakra in a blind fury, sending three bombardment techniques in a row to nearby dummies. The sheer power of the attack was simply amazing. After using the attacks, she felt her body quiver then fell to the ground. She didn't even realize how much chakra her technique consumed when used in quick succession. She didn't use enough to kill herself, but it was enough to knock her out.

Things in the country were shifting, not only in the way of shifting times, but how they could affect the country around them. New villains, heroes and everything in between had surfaced over the span of the last several decades, leaving a much different world. The Hyuuga Shinobi, whose eyes shown with reflective shades of grey beneath the night sky stood united. Cold, grey shades surveyed the lay of the land around her, her vision stretching out far beyond her line of natural sight, ensuring none could sneak up on her. The woman, once thought an advanced Jyuuken user, had been witness to something even she had been unaware of being possible, the limb of chakra.

Thanks going to her ally and acquaintance, Reon, Hikaru had been shown the sequent stage of striking, and the benefits it could have in combat. The woman had been there to witness that, if it had not been for the shared senses of her techniques, she would have undoubtedly fallen victim to Reon's skill and been taken down in an embarrassing sense. To think that the woman had managed to surpass her in one of many different forms of fighting was almost infuriating, for Hikaru had done well thus far to ensure that it would have been sequent to impossible for any to truly match her on the battlefield. Hikaru concentrated as she focused chakra into her arm. She would officially begin her training now.

Reon had shown her that she was wrong, that it was always possible to be one step ahead of the person who thought you less of a threat than you actually were. For all of that, the Hyuuga Shinobi had set out, confident and determined, to the point that she would not only match her counterpart's limb of chakra, but surpass it by her own right. The shinobi's chakra surged, expelling all of its might across her body, blue wisps of chakra made her clothes ripple and the air was thick with her power.

It was an invisible show of strength, a warning for anything foolish enough to have been able to see her chakra that would inform them well of their negligence. She desired only an absolute lonely state of being, to be away from the prying eyes and senses of those far too nosey for their own right. She had already formulated the ideas, the plans that would be necessary to even so much as undergo the training she would subject herself to. Hikaru focused more chakra into her arm trying to create a deadly weapon of it.

Hikaru wanted to successfully craft a weapon of herself using her limb of chakra, and it was there that Hikaru would make her first attempts. Surely she would not do so to such a degree as Reon, but she would make it the platform to be stood upon for future exploits of custom striking. Gathering about her wits and understanding, the woman mulled over the possibilities, the many theories that could possibly be exploited to create an weapon of herself. Her eyes watched the chakra that circled around her and reached outward in strands of energy, pulling from it an idea that she was certain could provide results.

Most if not all techniques gained their power from the user, and something so fluid as chakra could find itself exploited, could it not? she was a master of her chakra, and a master of limb of chakra, capable of using both to their fullest potential as necessary and when needed. So why not use a combination of the both of them to create that which she desired to see? Hikaru's chakra drew inward, becoming compressed on itself, her raw power protesting at being confined, but subjecting itself to her will as it could only eventually do. I need to focus Hikaru focused more chakra into her arm trying to create a deadly weapon of it.

Hikaru's chakra stuck to her tightly, like her own soul, straining and groaning on itself, demanding a release that Hikaru refused to give it just yet. Would it be possible to create a the limb of chakra? She wondered at the ability she had, and of its functions, knowing well that condensed chakra could create things as second nature as soul. If she could create a hardened shield from her chakra, then could she not also create a weapon? Testing the theory, the woman took a single step forward, forcing her chakra shoot down her arm only to find that it didn't feel any more powerful than normal.

The limb of chakra formed, albeit barely, dissipated as soon as she moved, but the feel of its shifting form appealing to Hikaru's senses. There it was, the initial step required to accomplish that which was necessary. It could not be mistaken as a true success however, but instead only proved to her that she might be able shape it to a weapon, even if only for a instant. Then again, a instant was all she truly needed, bothering to remind herself that the instant of a step was the entire span of time she'd require the weapon to be functional.

Repeating the initial process of testing the form of her chakra, Hikaru cast the aura around her arm, compressing its shape before daring a single step forward. The second attempt yielded slightly more desirable results, her chakra actually lingering at her last location in a very rough outline of her body for a full second. The chakra quickly dissipated and returned to her body as she willed it to, the shape shunshining without a trace, leaving grey orbs to look at where the effigy had stood just instants before. She needed a stronger compression of her chakra, something that would leave a defined outline of her arm before she'd attempt quicker variations that would couple with her limb of chakra.

She tried again, earning similar results as her second attempt, the woman striking forward as her chakra lingered behind her, but the power tugged, trying to follow her in her step. She was saddened the attempt and tried many times over, attempts and refinement occurring over the span of hours. Again she tried, the teen's chakra slowly becoming more compliant as she moved, until the outline of her body became ideal, minus the fact that she had yet to actually fill the outline with her full appearance, the outline appearing as little more than her body blurred with blue chakra.

Still, she could not so much as bother to complain about it, it had only taken her something along the way of eleven or twelve hours to accomplish that much. Granted, it was not as though time had much of an effect on her outlook of training pace, she had all the time in the world as a youngster. Feeling it to be the appropriate time, Hikaru committed herself to eventually instituting limb of chakra into the equation. She was at a peak of mastery of her outline, the simplistic approach seeming to serve her well as it always did. Hikaru focused more chakra into her arm trying to create a deadly weapon of it.

Reassessing what she had done thus far, she decided it'd be best to attempt the timing of her combination of limb of chakra and chakra before actually trying to completely finish the weapon with a ideal envelopment of her other arm. The shinobi it best to keep the steps short and slow at first, Hikaru gathered and compressed her chakra about her before covering her arm with a sort of limb of chakra. She released the chakra behind her, but failed a proper timing, doing it all of an instant after striking, leaving only a mottled and rough outline that look the same as her first attempt when compressing her chakra into a Jyuuken technique.

Hikaru focused more chakra into her arm trying to create a deadly weapon of it. She was saddened by the failure, but was happy that it seemed she might just be capable of accomplishing what she wished. She tried again, trying to time the outline half a instant earlier, but found that it was far too early, the chakra appearing before she eventually even completely shunshined. Sure, it was there and in full, but the chakra was meant to fool an opponent if she was still at her last location, meaning that if the opponent saw two of her the technique would have no genuine effect. So she'd try it again, adjusting her timing appropriately, this time doing it too late yet again, the chakra becoming mottled and blurred to the point of having absolutely no use whatsoever.

Hikaru's steps paused, and the teen released her chakra, relaxing instead to understand the pace at which she struck, forcing herself to relearn just how she would utilize her future limb of chakra, a technique that was entirely instinctual to the shinobi. She struck, then shunshining in an instant, the woman observing the pace at which she moved and the bursts of chakra at her feet in the instant of movement. It was fast, faster than most could even dare to comprehend, and for that it would be completely pointless for most to even attempt what she intended to accomplish.

Her strikes against imaginary targets continued, the teen rapidly shunshining and reappearing across the area at a dizzying rate. Hikaru focused more chakra into her arm trying to create a deadly weapon of it. Every four times she performed shunshin she would have to take a day's worth of rest else she would overexert herself. She watched, analyzed and focused solely on her pace, learning that which she had taken for granted so long. No longer was she worried about moving at blindingly fast speeds, but instead she focused on just how she could best utilize her arm should she use the limb of chakra. She was still in the very beginning learning stages of the technique.

This continued on for days, a clock she brought along just kept spinning and spinning. Her movements only paused after she had gone well into a full day's worth of training at which point she needed to rest. The Hyuuga stopping amidst the grassy area, beads of sweat present on her face as she wiped away the moisture. There it was, the pace, the timing, the instant at which she would truly attempt to create that which would put her years ahead of her opponents, the instant that would give her the advantage again and leave her enemies behind. Hikaru focused more chakra into her arm trying to create a deadly weapon of it.

The sun coming up meant a new day was on its way. Standing outside the Hyuuga mansion was a young teen with no care in the world. Her eyes were hidden behind a mildly thick blindfold. the young shinobi had a fit, athletic build but yet she also seemed kind of content with herself. On the teen's left arm was a imprint of a leaf while on her other arm was a bracelet. The young shinobi was wearing the same old clothes as always. In any case, her goal was to further her mastery of the Jyuuken style by working on her limb of chakra technique. It was getting harder and harder each day to improve, but she wasn't complaining.

Hikaru focused more chakra into her arm trying to create a deadly weapon of it. She was improving, but she needed to up the pace a bit. This young shinobi was none other than Hikaru Hyuuga, a genin by her village's standard. Her position didn't really matter as it wasn't based on strength but Hikaru wanted to prove she truly was worthy of being Chuunin material. She was determined to train as hard as she could until she surpassed not just her leader but all leaders. That day was a long way off but Hikaru was ready to try. Hikaru stretched her arms and looked up at the sky. It felt like forever since she had been outdoors.

Being cooped up in a mansion room was so boring. Looking down at her hand Hikaru clenched her fist several times and sighed. It's been real difficult learning all these new Jyuuken techniques. Most of them have little to no practicality, but they won't let me learn the cool ones without the prerequisites. How lame… Hikaru thought. With that she shunshined from sight and made her way to the training grounds. On the way there, Hikaru focused more chakra into her arm trying to create a deadly weapon of it. By now she could cover about half of her forearm with the intense chakra, but she needed her whole arm to be covered to even make a difference.

Once at the training grounds Hikaru looked for a nice spacious open space she could use to hone her skills. After looking around Hikaru found the ideal spot. A spacious area filled with rocks, trees, spacious open areas, and even a pool of water. This was ideal for her to use. the sun shone down brightly overhead and white fluffy clouds dotted the sky. The occasional gentle breeze brought everything together. Hikaru decided to continue her training by focusing on increasing the surface area she could cover with her limb of chakra technique. The Hyuuga simply held out her left arm and grunted to no avail. [/i]I guess I can only use my right arm for now.[/i]

Hikaru started trying to hit some wooden dummies with her imperfect limb of chakra. She moved from point a to point b, focused chakra to cover her right arm then struck. She slightly increasing her speed each time. Hikaru tried this exercise repeatedly for over three hours. Finally it was time to take a break. Hikaru walked over to a large boulder and sat on top of it. The next exercise she had in mind was something to practice controlling her chakra. Closing her eyes and bringing her hands together, as if in prayer, Hikaru began meditating. Another benefit to this was it gave Hikaru time to regain her breath. Hikaru lost herself in the meditation, her attention was focused solely on her chakra. The blue chakra that normal only surrounded Hikaru with a thin outline became quite peaceful indeed.

The chakra flowed down her arm in one sweeping motion. Focusing intently on the chakra Hikaru got it to calm down even further. It was now covering her body like slow moving energy. Ignoring everything else around her Hikaru repeated this process of letting her chakra run focused and then trying to control it. It wouldn't always work as Hikaru's chakra control needed improvement but for now she was doing a decent enough job. Hikaru kept this exercise going for hours, just like she had with her Jyuuken training earlier. It was an interesting sight to see; a young shinobi sitting on a large boulder pushing chakra down her arm.

Hikaru was so focused on her training she was oblivious to her surroundings. An opponent could have been other behind her ready to attack and Hikaru still wouldn't have sensed it. Well an opponent wouldn't be in the training grounds much less in the Village (hopefully) but that was besides the point. It was only a matter of time until some chakra sensor came to investigate the fluxes in chakra. The boulder Hikaru was sitting on was starting to crack due to the Hyuuga's training.

Why she had been sent to the mansion, what to do now that her friend Kathy had ditched her, and how to get stronger. All of these thoughts raced in Hikaru's mind yet she had no answers. The harder she thought of these things the less focused she was on her chakra and the more out of control it got. Well the first one was easy enough to figure out. Hikaru had been sent to the mansion through a combination of recklessness, stupidity, curiosity, desperation, and a great sparring partner. Hikaru had tried out a brand new combination technique and the side effects had been more than her body could bear.
