will be my biography of choice. Updated training stats are on my profile.
Let's have some fun
Shinobi spent their time perfecting their own special techniques. Things that would make them unique. Affectionately called "customs" by the general populace. Every individual took pride in their jutsu; often, there would be trades, exchanges, even fights for techniques. The acquisition of power was of paramount importance. Admittedly, Souji wasn't as ambitious as most, but learning new techniques was never unwelcome. He pondered the state of their world, endless conflict over such matters, as he made his way to the meeting place. There, he was to meet one of his best friends, Penguin. The latter had recently developed a few new techniques that he was willing to teach Souji. In all honesty, he felt grateful. To give them out for free was considered charity; only reserved for those of great heart. Making a mental note to return the favor to Penguin when the time came, Souji looked up, to his mild surprise.
Another individual, not Penguin, was standing across from him in mid range. Souji looked on in curiosity, but not without caution. He seemed familiar for some reason... no matter. It was clear from his stance and demeanor that he wasn't here to simply talk.
"I don't know who you are, but I must treat you with utmost discretion. My name is Souji "Hyuuga" Seta of Konohagakure. If I am to assume correctly, you are here for Penguin's techniques, am I not mistaken?"
From the corner of his eye, Souji eyed a piece of paper stuck to a nearby natural rock formation, held in place by a kunai. Reaching out for it, he read it.
So yeah, Souji, Carl, fight for my customs, ok? Winner takes all!
- Penguin
Looking up, he could see that Carl, too, knew of this. This note confirmed both shinobi's intentions.
"Come, let's do this, then!"
Souji's grey eyes suddenly focused, his pupils gaining a distinct hue, with veins encroaching around his temples. He activated his Byakugan.
(Since I'm Kage ranked, I require no hand seals to activate the Byakugan, but this still counts as my first move. However, it may not necessarily be my first offensive move)
With his vision greatly enhanced, and gaining the abilities of the famed All-Seeing White Eye, Souji then wasted no time, molding fire chakra in his chest. Aiming for Carl's feet, Souji exhaled a burst of flame as a projectile towards Carl, which would then erupt into a large pillar of flames three meters tall, carrying Carl's helpless body upward with it into the air.
Immediately after the flaming pillar was performed, Souji pulled out two shurikens from his pouch. This time, he exhaled wind chakra onto the shuriken, allowing the chakra's gaseous nature to coat the shurikens in an almost greenish aura, infusing them with wind. This would increase their range and cutting power. Souji then threw them at Carl as he was getting burned up, with the shuriken from his left hand making an arc that would approach from Carl's right side, and the shuriken from his right hand approaching from Carl's left in an arc as well. If successful, this combination would bisect and slice up his opponent with a deadly fire-wind inferno.
"Let's hope I didn't come all the way here to simply watch you get defeated like that..." His intuition was pretty reliable; he could almost 'sense' greatness in his opponent.
(Dōjutsu: Byakugan) Eye Technique: The All Seeing White Eye
Type: Supplementary
Rank: A-Rank
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 30 (-5 per turn to keep active)
Damage: N/A
Description:
One of the Three Great Dōjutsu (San Daidōjutsu), the Byakugan is the kekkei genkai of the Hyuga clan. Bearers of this Dõjutsu have almost featureless white eyes. When the Byakugan is activated, the user's pupils become more distinct, and the veins near their temples bulge as the blood flow to their eyes is increased. While having the Byakugan deactivated, Hyuga ninjas have a normal eyesight and no special addition to their vision. While low rank Hyugas will need to perform a sequence of hand seals ( Horse → Tiger with lifting just index fingers → Boar with nearly straightened fingers → Hare → Rat → Dog → Horse → Dog → Hare → Rat → Boar with nearly straightened fingers → Snake with the right index finger lifted straight up) to activate their Byakugan, Hyuga masters will be able to do so without the need for any hand seals and even have it active passively for long periods of time. Once activated, the user gains access to all of the abilities the Byakugan bestows upon them. While, like other Dojutsu, its main ability is to see chakra and the chakra flow in sentient beings, the Byakugan adds a complete new detail and dimension to that ability. The user can not only see chakra and the chakra flow, but also the circulatory system and even the 361 tenketsu. Added to this ability, once activated the Byakugan grants the user a near perfect field of vision 360º around himself (up to long-range if he's a master). This field of vision has only one blind spot, slightly above the 3rd thoracic vertebrae and facing backwards but enables the user to actually even see his own chakra circulatory system and chakra flow, which explains why all Hyuugas are so adept and masterfull of precise chakra control. The last ability the Byakugan has is the ability to zoom in and out, focusing on specific things, piercing beyond matter and energy alike, as well as chakra. This specific ability allows the user to see pass most barriers as well as physical matter (like rock walls, ground, etc) but also energy, being able to focus beyond chakra that might be in front of them or other energies. The zooming ability is enhanced as the user becomes more adept at using his eyes and can even reach distances above 20kms away. Some Hyugas have shown a great awareness regarding agressiveness as well as killing intent, detecting such intentions and emotions from others with more ease than most.
Note: Activation spends a move from the users own move count but once the user reaches Sannin Rank and has gained mastery over Gentle Fist for 1 month, he can activate it passively without spending a move. Because of its low chakra cost to maintain, the user can keep it active throughout the whole fight as long as he has chakra and stamina to do so.
Note: Genjutsu that requires Eye Contact when used against a Byakugan user requires direct eye contact between enemy pupil and user's pupil
Note: Must be activated to use Gentle Fist (Jyuken)
Note: Cannot be blinded by matter, chakra, light or energy
Note: Its tracking abilities are similar to that of a 3 Tomoe Sharingan

Carl woke up early in the morning, eager to learn the technique Penguin agreed to. Slowly sliding off of his bed, Carl let out a big sigh, "If it wasn't for Penguin and his early-ass schedule, I would be sleeping right now.." he says, with a little bit of an annoyance rooted within his voice. Throwing on his usual attire which consists of long skinny pants (not too tight, but not really loose), a black short-sleeved v-neck shirt, black combat boots, and a black headband which lacks a village symbol. Stretching and grabbing his bag, he picks up a small piece of paper on the window sill.
Hey Carl, meet me at the usual spot as soon as possible, once you're there, there should be a note on a flat rock, read it then do as the instructions say, sorry I can't be there on time!
"Wait, the ****? He's going to make me wake up this early in the morning, and he's going to be late? He's sooo lucky I really want to learn that technique, or else i'd--" he was cut short, he realized the Sun started to rise, don't wanna be late I guess.
Arriving at the destined spot, Carl began to look for the note Penguin mentioned, not being able to find it, he looked behind some rocks. He soon heard rustling behind him, turning as quickly as possibly, taking a defensive stance, Carl examines his opponent thoroughly. Gray hair, pale eyes, the surname, "Hyuuga", the Hyuuga clan, eh? I've heard about them before, hailed to be the strongest of the leaf, masters of Taijutsu and the Gentle Fist, but what is he doing here? Looking around, Carl spots a note on a nearby flat rock.
So yeah, Souji, Carl, fight for my customs, ok? Winner takes all!
So that's what this is about, he wants me to fight for it? This should be fun, but I should probably be weary, it'll be dangerous if we engage in hand-to-hand combat. Shortly after he finished his thoughts, his opponent, Souji Hyuuga wasted no time going on the offensive. Hurling a large flame projectile, Carl quickly reacts by spitting a huge wave of compressed water, completely dispersing the impending flames. Due to the elemental relationship, the collision created a temporary mist throughout the field, "I should really be careful, that bastard can probably still see me due to those freaky eyes..." Carl mutters cautiously. Just as he finished his sentence, he sees two shuriken, partially blow away mist because of their wind properties, seeing them coming from his right and left, he jumps in the air and uses a stream of wind to blow himself backwards, landing on a huge rock behind him. "Not bad, you could've had me. To be honest, I expected this much from one of the famed clans of Konoha...", forming the Ram seal, Carl quickly creates several small tornadoes that quickly make their way towards Souji with incredible speed, "Let's see if you can keep it up though..."

Description: This technique allows the user to change direction in mid-air at high speeds by simply blowing wind out their mouth. The user can also use this technique by blowing it at the ground and causing a dust cloud to rise, concealing the users location and movement.
Note: The user must already be airborne to use
Rank: C
Type: Attack/Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: 30 (+10 if used with a fire technique)
Description: The user releases a gust of wind after forming the Ram handseal, that forms several small tornadoes. Combined with Fire Release: Running Fire that forms a circle on ground level, this creates a massive flaming hurricane.
Watching as his first fire technique was cancelled out by Carl's water technique, Souji was initially surprised at the emerging mist from the collision of the techniques. However, this wasn't a problem to him; his eyes kept a bead on Carl's chakra signature regardless; one of the many abilities of his Byakugan. Observing as Carl dodged his two shuriken with a simple wind technique and landing on one of the rock pillars, he couldn't help but acknowledge his opponent's quick thinking. He could dodge techniques using even the simplest jutsu with minimal chakra cost. However, Souji observed that Carl didn't seem to be going on the offensive; rather, focusing on evading. As such, it seemed that his first two moves were more of a reaction rather than an action. As such, he observed, waiting for the right moment to strike.
The moment Carl landed on the rock, Souji took this as his chance to attack.
Underestimating this guy would be bad. I'll up the ante. It's only appropriate.... he thought to himself.
Forming the Tiger hand seal and compressing Fire chakra within his body, Souji then released a number of dragon-head shaped fireballs, created through his shape and nature manipulation. Focusing on them using his own chakra control, Souji directed the fireballs to converge on Carl's front from all sides: front, left, and right. They would easily overwhelm Carl's subsequent tornadoes, and upon contact with Carl, they would impact much like a solid object, causing explosive AND burning damage.
"You slowed yourself down there, not a good idea."
(Katon: Ryūen Hōka no Jutsu) - Fire Release: Dragon Flame Release Song Technique
Rank: A
Type: Offensive
Range: Short - Long
Chakra cost: 30
Damage points: 60
Description: After performing the hand seal Tiger the user compresses a large amount of chakra built up inside their body, before instead expelling it in the form of a number of dragon head-shaped fireballs. The user then skilfully manipulates that great fire, and attacks their opponent. The temperature of the created flames is so great that, even with the briefest of contact, they are capable of easily burning human flesh and the fireballs are dense enough to behave almost as solid, being able to deliver impact damage in adition to the fire damage. However, this also means that they can be deflected as a solid projectiles.
"Flames? Nice try, but that's not going to work!", while on the rock, Carl claps his hands, subsequently creating a vortex of water to circulate around him. Looking at his surroundings, he notices that his opponent directed the flames to cover three sides, the front, left, and right. Acknowledging his crafty and quick thinking, Carl then directs the vortex of water to be released outward, in a circular manner, the wave of water completely disperses the flames, releasing a minor amount of steam. Removing his hands from their previously clasped position, he examines Souji, thinking about what he should do next. Well, let's see, he's from the Hyuuga clan, therefore his prowress in Taijutsu should be way above average, not to mention he's capable of pin-pointing chakra points, this can get pretty tricky, but if I can pull my plan off, this should be a piece of cake. Regaining his posture, Carl thinks about his training with Aigis, needing something to restrain his foe, preventing him from attacking. Then, just like that, the perfect idea came to mind, hopping of the rock, and sprinting to the left just enough for the distance between him and Souji to be considered mid-range, he forms the [Rat → Horse → Dog → Snake] handseals, creating a large amount of Earthen made pillars to surround Souji on all sides.
Taking his left, hand, Carl directs the pillars to enclose on his opponent, completely restraining all possible movements. Once restrained, Carl then extends both of his arms outward, with the palms facing directly at Souji's stomach, he releases a powerful jet of water, striking him in the gut head on. "Sometimes it's best to have your opponent think you messed up, but in reality it was all apart of your plan"
Now, if he does what I hope he does, it's over
Rank: C-B-Rank
Type: Offensive, Supplementary
Range: Short-Long
Chakra Cost: 15-20
Damage Points: 30-40
Descripton: This technique allows the user after claping their hands together to make a spiralling vortex of water to form around them out of nowhere in a vortex like manner. The vortex then proceeds to cascade into an wave of water that rampages towards the intended target or all around. The size and power of the technique is dictated by the amount of chakra put into the technique, varying from C-rank to B-Rank.
Rank: C
Type: Defence/supplementary
Range: Short/Mid
Chakra Cost: 15

Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 15
Damage points: 30
Description: the user will produce a fairly powerful jet of water from the user's hand.
Carl stopped Souji's fire pretty easily. Note to self... stop using A-rank fire techniques on this guy... He thought. Next time, he wouldn't go so easy on him. Souji waited for Car's next move, anticipating his next strike.
Sure enough, Souji was then subsequently trapped a rock prison. No matter how hard he physically struggled, he couldn't break free. For some reason, there was a sense of deja vu. This was a common tactic Aigis and himself taught their students... "Control the battlefield by trapping and zoning your opponent to where you WANT them to be."
Could it be?
Deciding not to ponder it, Souji instead channels Raiton chakra through his entire body, creating an electric field that easily breaks up and disperses the Earth prison surrounding him. However, the properties of the jutsu only allowed the electric field to last for one attack against him. At least it was quick and efficient.
Upon freeing himself, Souji watched as Carl shot a jet of water that unfortunately stopped short... well, that was anticlimatic...
(ok, for your post, you said that you came up mid-range to perform the rock prison. But afterward, you shot the water. You didn't say otherwise, so I assumed that you used that jutsu at the same spot. Since the water jutsu is only mid-range, it doesn't reach my gut.)
"Watch the ranges of your techniques. Your senseis and senpais should have clarified that..." he said.
Souji then manipulated his chakra, casting an illusion on Carl. However, on the surface, and visually, Carl could see nothing had changed. The terrain was the same, the arena was the same. Souji had disrupted Carl's chakra system, making him perceive that his surroundings were the unchanged, but in reality...
After this, Souji channeled his Doton chakra through the ground, causing a condensation of the soil and rock at Carl's feet. From all four sides of the guy's body (front, left, right, and back), four large spikes would erupt from the ground, skewering him like a kabob. But since Carl was under the False Surroundings Genjutsu, Souji made it seem like the ground looked perfectly normal, concealing the true killing intentions of the follow-up technique.
(Raiton: Raigeki no Yoroi) - Lightning Release: Lightning Strike Armour
Rank: C
Type: Offense/Defence
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: 30

( Magen: Kokoni Arazu no Jutsu ) - Demonic Illusion: False Surroundings Technique
Rank: D
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra Cost: 10 (+5 if you use it double)
Damage Points: N/A
Description: The user casts an illusion over an area that allows him to manipulate the way an area looks to fool an opponent. He can only change the way the terrain looks, and not any other feature.
( Doton: Dosekidake no Jutsu ) - Earth Release: Earth and Stone Bamboo Shoot Technique
Rank: B
Type: Offensive
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: 40
Description: The user of this technique condenses the soil and rock in the area to sprout out in the form of four large spikes which attack the target from four separate directions to make it harder to evade. However, it can be easilty avoided by escaping upwards.
When his water jet technique failed, Carl lets out a large sigh of annoyance, followed with a small facepalm. Standing in the same spot, examining Souji's moves, he suddenly hears a loud, piercing sound from underneath him. Giving it a quick glance, he doesn't see anything, but he can tell the sound he was hearing was real, shit, genjutsu..? Jumping upwards, then blowing another stream of wind that propels him backward, Carl lands in a crouching position about five meters from his previous spot. Standing up, he cups his hands over his mouth and yells in Souji's direction, "Next time, make sure I can't HEAR the attack, guess we both messed up, huh?", with that said, he weaves through a couple handseals, [Ram → Horse → Snake → Tiger], then focuses his chakra throughout his entire body, releasing a strong, blinding light in all directions. Taking the newly formed opportunity, he forms the Snake handseal with his right hand, and generates a spear composed of lightning with his left. Cocking his hand back, Carl hurls the spear in a straight linear fashion, with the intention of it hitting Souji's upper left leg.
Rank: D
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra cost: 10
Damage points: N/A
Description: This technique allows the user to change direction in mid-air at high speeds by simply blowing wind out their mouth. The user can also use this technique by blowing it at the ground and causing a dust cloud to rise, concealing the users location and movement.
Note: The user must already be airborne to use
Rank: S
Type: Supplementaty
Range: Short-Long
Chakra cost: 40
Damage points: N/A
Description: After performing the following handseals Ram → Horse → Snake → Tiger the user will release a massive amount of lighting chakra which he uses to create a blinding light that appears to emanate from all over the users body. The light can blind any enemy that sees it but its main ability is that, through skill and precise chakra control and timing, the user can use it as a cover to put the enemy into a genjutsu by using the light as a decoy, preventing the enemy from noticing the genjutsu was placed.
Note: Can follow with any Genjutsu the user knows up to A-Rank but needs to have mastered Genjutsu. The user will need to effectively spend two moves, performing both the Lightning Illusion and the Genjutsu; the first only serves as a cover to place the second unnoticed
Note: Can only be used once every three turns
Rank: S
Type: Attack
Range: Short-Long
Chakra cost: 40
Damage Points: 80
Descripton: The user, after performing the Snake hand seal, emits lightning in the shape of a spear from their hands or mouth which then pierces the enemy. Kakuzu, the original user, shoots the technique from his Lightning mask's mouth. Its destructive power is great enough to even pierce through rock; meaning it has a high killing potential. The user can increase the number of spears to attack multiple enemies by branching the main spear. This, coupled with the sheer speed of the lightning, makes it a difficult technique to evade. This strong attack can be defended against by an equally strong attack of the same element such as Raikiri.
