Gentle Fist Attack!

[Icarus]

He tightened his new dougi, a white linen affair as his bare feet touched the ground of the dojo, the floors were a warm oak, perhaps, he was not a wooden floor expert or anything of the sort, he just assumed it was oak since it was his first thought. His feet clattered every time he took a step as his training weights were no light object, they made every move significantly heavier, true they were old fashioned but they did wonders for him, always on the move he never truly missed a day of training this way. Before him he had a myriad of training tools assembled, he had stationary dummies, he had special kung-fu dummies built to strike back at him with their momentum, he even had an assortment of punching bag dummies and a sparring partner waiting for him should he need him. He leaned to one side stretching his obliques and then shifted so that the stretch transferred to his hamstring, repeating the stretch in the opposite direction before touching his toes. He raised a foot in the air and brought it down swiftly with a thud, he had to be careful as he had almost threatened to rub off his skin with that strike, perhaps the oak floor was indeed a bad choice but he would have to live with it, a tatami mat would threaten to collapse under him if he tried to practice on it, the rice screens of a dojo as well would be too fragile if he accidentally sent a shard of something flying.

He unrolled a instructional scroll, one of the many that were available for novices in taijutsu, which he technically was where most taijutsu was considered, he may have been an expert in jyuuken but goken and universal taijutsu were juxtapositions where jyuuken was concerned, and in the case that he faced a ninja that had some sort of inner chakra to cancel his, the brute smashing force of regular kicks and punches would no doubt come in handy. But he would get to the gouken in a bit, he still had to polish off his hyuuga abilities, as they were his foundation, his bread and butter, in addition they allowed him to block where gouken was all offense. He opened his byakugan, the world becoming immediately grayscale, he could see the chakra of his sparring partner. He grabbed a bag by his feet and from it procured a bag of rubber balls. He threw them in the air, high into the air and from then he immediately dropped in to the pose of his hyuuga style, one hand down the other in the air, his body crouching slightly with one leg forward as he envisioned one of the staple techniques of his clan’s repertoire. He began to spin, forcing chakra from his body, from his every pore. He would attempt to create the hakke kaiten, the main defensive move of his clan, if he succeeded all of the rubber projectlies would be deflected, if he failed. Well he didn’t quite know what would happen.

He felt the chakra leave him and the projectiles didn’t touch his skin, he felt them pause and he felt a bit of joy as he thougth he had succeeded in so quickly mastering a technique. But it wasn’t so easy, it was only a momentary block and the balls soon landed on his dougi, light thuds occurred as they met with the ground. Had he not provided enough chakra to fully bring forth the full potential? He didn’t know of course, this was experimental training because he had not the assistance of a proper sensei, of an elder hyuuga arts member so he would have to fair for himself, he would have to try and learn the technique with his own skill or end up simply going home exhausted, possibly pegged by marbles before he got to his bed to rest. And he didn’t in the least feel like heading home a failure when he knew very well he at least had some talent, some vague grasp on the hyuuga arts, he had after all mastered a good few of them, aiming of course to master many many more before he retired or took on harder missions than what he was already used to.

He sat down, taking a bit of time to collect his thoughts, to go over what he assumed were his mistakes as he peered at the example scroll that was his mock teacher. He had assumed the position of the hyuuga techniques, imaging the trigrams in his head and then envisioning them on the field himself in the middle of yin yang with his “domain” extending outwards from their. He had leaked and then blasted chakra from his pores, but the marbles were not easily shot away as he had predicted they would be, they simply were held up for a second as if pausing and then continued with less momentum towards their original targets as determined by their initial pathing. He no doubt would have been able to complete the technique sooner but the scroll was well, it seemed it was lacking a few instructions as if it were to teach him how to figure it out but not spoon feed it to him at the same time. It was frustrating but he supposed that if he ended up relying on instructions his whole life then he wouldn’t be a original ninja in the least sense of the word. So he stood back up, if his chakra was able to serve the purpose of holding the object, then perhaps adding movement by means of his own physical body moving in a direction would cause the success of his jutsu. He widened the gap between his leg and swung his hands to where they made a line with his shoulders diagonally pointing with his fingertips just in front of where his foot ended and grabbed a handful of projectiles, he tossed them up and expended chakra, a bead of sweat appearing at his brow.

The projectiles came down, his body in motion as the chakra formed a thin shear around his body a blue film that. He could feel the chakra leaving him at the amounts that he was spending, he would have to learn to control this technique better or using it altogether would be somewhat a waste. He in the split seconds that he had before the first volley of projectiles would fall as not all had been so high as to which direction he would or should move towards to direct his chakra. He felt the first wave stop on his chakra and he knee jerk pushed forward causing the projectiles to shoot forward lodging in the ground before him, it was a good result but not the one he wanted. By this process he eliminated the movement of backwards and left and right as they would probably end up as the same but in different directions and so he thought what about up and down? So he jumped up and that caused the projectiles to shoot up a bit ultimately now coming down with the rest of the third volley of metal. He cursed under his breath and he let out yet another ample amount of chakra, this was getting him nowhere! And he out of rage swung his fist in a haymaker fashion causing him to have lost his balance in the process. But with his chakra still on he couldn’t fall! It would probably result in some chakra explosion rending him limb from limb. So he swung his other arm harder stabilizing him in a spin and at that time the chakra around him formed a sphere catching on its layer the projectiles and violently throwing them in the opposite direction they came. He had by accident discovered the final step in the hakkeshou kaiten! He plopped on his butt and whistled out of surprise, he’d have to take a short break but damn did he learn that move just like he said he would. He considered writing down the final step in the scroll to make the next learning of the jutsu easier for a successor but then he considered instead simply just letting them deal with it, lazy yes but heck he had earned a break and he was going to rest every minute of it and in any way he saw fit, as long as it was still in this dojo, he felt he had a bit more work to do in the near near near future.

Waiting for if I learned the following technique.

Hakkeshou Kaiten (Eight Divination Palms of the Hand, Heavenly Spin)
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Offensive / Defensive / Clan Taijutsu
Range: See special!
Special: Blocks taijutsu and ninjutsu of equal rank. Kaiten dome extends as far as the Hyuuga's maximum Hakke range.
Description: Like many of the Jyuuken techniques, Kaiten is a special technique passed down through the main family line. Kaiten takes advantage of several of the unique abilities of the Byakugan eye, including an almost complete 360 degree view of their surroundings, so that the member to see all angles around them. As such, if an attack is near, the clan member will release a large of amount of chakra from their tenketsu and, simultaneous to the release, begins to spin like a top, creating a whirling vortex that can nullify almost any attack. Said to be a Hyuuga's ultimate defense.
Domain: Hyuuga. Main House exclusive.

Covered in sweat, he knew that just preforming the technique one time was not enough to justify knowing the technique to a point where he could use it in combat, to safely assume it was part of his hyuuga repertoire he would most likely have to perform the same jutsu again here and perhaps another time in the future just so he wouldn’t forget how to preform it when it was obviously a useful jutsu. He stood up and moved to a separate square of tatatmi mat, the one was on before was covered in a little sweat and torn up from the chakra as well as a stray projectile or two. He then pulled out a kunai, this was the real deal if his jutsu stopped the kunai well then that was fine and dandy, but if it failed well then he would be making a rather necessary trip to his village’s hospital complaining of how he tried to catch a kunai with chakra and failed so very obviously. It was in all honesty, an unpleasant even that he had a penchant to not experience, not today and no not in the future not ever in fact.

So he tossed up the kunai, releasing it in such a way that went it reached the height of its travelling distance it would turn, falling towards the weighted blade coming down towards him as he reached down, down lowering his stance and closing his eyes, letting out a hot breath of concentration. Chakra again coating him as he spun, with great alacrity, his palms painting waves in the air as a bubble of spinning chakra formed around him, protecting him from any and all that would dare to try and touch him with a violent rejection based on how daring they were with their attack. From what he had seen this technique had a flat rate of how much force it released and it added on the momentum of which the target that hit it carried so a charging opponent would actually find himself layed out rather harshly when he expected to wreak havoc on him instead. The kunai stopped, halted he held his breath as even while spinning with his byakugan on he could see the world perfectly. He could see the danger with a smile being expertly avoided. The bubble continued spinning and the kunai was rejected as if it were a magnet of the same quality of the shield, thrown far far across the room lodging into a nearby training dummy.

Higan stopped the flow of chakra, his spinning immediately stopping as he learned to also push his spin with the motion of his body and with what seemed to be controlled jets of chakra, sort of like a jet pack for his rotary action. The tatami under his feet significantly more ruined than the last one, a good sign but he would have to pay for it no doubt, he was renting the dojo, but he couldn’t imagine it was exceptionally expensive and after all it would be rather hard to replace what had happened here, he had improved his ability to fight as a ninja yes, he had even become a little bit more creative and experienced, but what was key was that he had become more in tune with his bloodline limit. He could see it now, main branch Higan teaching a wave of students how to fight as the revered head of the hyuuga clan, it couldn’t honestly be that far from the future could it? Well he was hoping he would have a bit of exciting action between now and teaching.
