[Byakugan and Gentle Fist Style Training]

Having been training here for a week, I thought of nothing but this area. So I asked a wandering sensei to train me in the ways of my clansmen. I had a lot of questions but none that couldn't be answered. To be honest, all I really needed was clarification. I had made some assumptions but nothing concrete...till now. While I await the following lesson, I will be doing some training excercises. It's mostly just me waving my arms around like a crazy person. But I swear it helps get me going.

After that, all I will be doing is standing still and paying attention to my senses. Smelling the crisp, clean air and feeling the warm sunshine on my face. It was my favorite season of the year - summer. I setup a nice table too with some snacks and some amazing refreshments and...water. There's always that one person who never likes eating or drinking. They weren't undead were they? Nah.​

Finally, someone from the Hyūga clan had asked him to teach them in the arts of Gentle Fist. Being a proud Hyūga, he was most honoured. Sitting in a tree on the edge of the forest, Ryuu silently watched his student now, doing something that looked like training, though he couldn't be too sure. Perhaps it needed to be more refined... Jumping down from the tree, Ryuu silently crept up behind his student, who was standing still. At the last moment, too late for the brown haired man to react, Ryuu lunged forward and striked Leon's right shoulder with his left hand as he came up by his side, sending him falling to the ground.

The boy then placed his left arm behind his back, walking a few metres onwards, all the while writing something in the air in front of him, whilst his student probably sat on the ground a little dazed. You see, the young teacher was mute, and so he resorted to writing to communicate. This is what he wrote:

'If you could activate the Byakugan, you would have seen me and would not have been hit. But do not fear, for I am about to teach the ways of your clan now. But tell me first, what do you know about the Hyūga clan and it's abilities so far?'​

As the letters formed in the air quickly, they streamed together, floating behind the walking boy, going closer to Leon so he could read them in one sentence. As he finished writing, Ryuu turned around where he stood, now facing Leon. He awaited the man's reply to his question. He also noticed that he had brought some snacks along, and hoped Leon was not offended that he had striked him down.

He also noticed that he had brought some snacks along, and hoped Leon was not offended that he had striked him down.

"Ouch! Hey...!"

I was so mad from getting hit that I let it get to me. But once I saw the words...honey the words. I was captivated by how much effort and skill he put into trying to communicate to me. I could tell the kid had spunk and I didn't want to ruin that confidence. Also to be honest, while I had done research on the Hyuuga Clan. I could not for the life of me understand how I was one. I had this weird thing I could do with my eyes but no one ever really sat down and explained it to me. How would I be able to convey that to a mute?

*grins*

He reminded me of this kid I knew back home. He was pretty shy but he had loads of talent and skill. But because he was a kid many folks just laughed or ignored him. I'm not one of them. I'll show him as that not everyone is like that.

Standing there quietly, still in some pain but nothing I can't handle, I reply using lightning release as my medium instead. Although my twist was using rabbits alongside my reply. It helps bring fun into lessons from what I've discovered. I actually made two run off a bit towards Ryuu and playfully hop around him.

"I am alright Sensei."

I smile to let him know I meant what I said and continue by getting his attention again by .

"To be quite frank, I don't know much about the Hyuuga clearly being one. If you're wondering how I got away without being discovered, it's the hair. It helps hide me from people...or at least in my mind. I can still see quite clearly and even more so when I do that thing with my eyes.

How did I know how to activate my eyes you say? I was fortunate enough to meet a passing traveler with these weird white eyes like mine. To be honest, it was him who came up to me and asked to speak to me in private. It was there he asked to see my eyes. It really was a shame he couldn't tell me more as he happened to be in the run from someone. All he told me was how to use my eyes using a sequence of handseals. He told me that if I practiced with the hard enough I would have no need for the handseals.

Anyways...yes I am a talker but today I get to learn a new way to communicate and I can't thank you enough."

I laugh a little and then continue.

"As far as anything else concrete...I don't know anything else....oh wait! He did this weird thing with his hands but I don't know if that was him or not though. Do you know what I am talking about Sensei?"

I shrugged my shoulders.

 

[Ryóma]

Ryuu smiled in amusement as he realised why his student was communicating in another way rather than using his voice. The man thought that Ryuu could not hear, even though he could. Ryuu did not interfere though, and just continued to display a slight smile as his pupil gave him all the information he knew about the clan. By the end of it, Ryuu was a bit surprised that he was not fully aware of the workings of the Byakugan yet. But that did not matter; it was why he would teach him that today. He started to draw letters of ink in the air again, all forming to make sentences.

So, you can already activate the Byakugan can you? Let's test that out a bit later. Before that, I need to tell you a bit about our clan. That will probably also answer your questions about the hand seals, and what you thought the man did with his hands too. Anyways, as you already know, the eyes that you possess are called the Byakugan. This makes the Hyūga an extremely powerful clan already due to the abilities of the eye. This eye is known as all-seeing for very good reason. That is because it can see in an almost 360 degrees vision around oneself, except for a blind spot at a certain spot behind the neck, above the first thoracic vertebra, though this can be compensated against by moving the head around, of course. Not just that, but the eye can also see through things, be they objects, a person's body, or even up to very long distances.

The Byakugan also allows us to perceive attacks more accurately, as well as react faster, which is very useful in battle. It is also not affected by attempts of blinding, such as if your opponent tries to blind you with a flash bomb. Thankfully, that does not work on us. Another cool thing about it is that if you are trapped in a genjutsu, after deducing that you are in one, you can confirm it by checking your chakra system to see if it has been disturbed from the illusion. The Byakugan is able to see the chakra system in people, as well as all the 361 tenketsu in the body, which is what allowed them to develop the fighting style called Gentle Fist. Gentle Fist consists of strikes that affect an opponents tenktetsu in different ways, which you will learn through his training. It also allows them to expel chakra from every tenketsu of their body, if they wish. Do you have any questions about all this? By the way, I can hear you, I just can't speak, though I do appreciate your thoughtfulness.

Ryuu smiled again, letting his student know that he found it amusing. He then waited for his response.

Ryuu smiled again, letting his student know that he found it amusing. He then waited for his response.

I suddenly realized my insensitivity towards sensei Ryuu. Knowing what would work, I take a deep breath and then recall my notes based on my own research. I speak clearly so that Ryuu can hear and understand me correctly.

"Sorry sensei. I'll be more considerate about your situation. I am grateful you agreed to teach me this though and I will do my best to learn as much as I can. I don't have any questions concerning the history of the clan at this moment. You've confirmed most of my hunches though so were on the right track. My main questions though pertain to how it will affect my bubblegum ninjutsu. Mostly if I can see through them in combat considering they contain chakra."

*OOC: Could you theoretically see through chakra techniques or will it be more "case-by-case" basis?

 

[Ryóma]

Ryuu blushed a little at the student's comment, albeit not very noticeable, before responding to a question Leon had by writing in the air again.

Yes, you would be able to see through your bubblegum, as these eyes can not only see chakra, but they can also see through anything, including chakra. As you can imagine, this is pretty useful, as it allows you to see past your large techniques, which would have otherwise obscured your vision. Do you have any more questions before we continue?

OOC: Yes you can see through them

 

[Deviation]

I was quite surprised that I could. This was a big help to me and I wanted to share my excitement with sensei Ryuu.

"Not at the moment, sensei. I am more intrigued by what MORE you have to say. Blow my mind boss!"

I had more questions so I carefully waited for my moment to chime in.

 

[Ryóma]

The man seemed quite pleased with the clan abilities, which also made Ryuu happy; it was nice to see an eager Hyūga. He wrote in the air again.

Okay well if you don't have any more questions, how about we get started on activating the eyes? That way, you can experience for yourself what we have been talking about. What you will need to do is gather chakra at your eyes, and perform the following hand seals: Horse → Tiger → Boar → Hare → Rat → Dog → Horse → Dog → Hare → Rat → Boar → Snake. I know it's a lot,but once you get used to it, you'll be able to do it without them. Give it a try.

Ryuu performed the hand seals in front of his student then so that he could understand better. His own Byakugan activated after he did so, looking towards the man. Since he was already proficient in Gentle Fist, he did not actually need to do these hand seals, but he did so for the student anyway.

(Dōjutsu: Byakugan) Eye Technique: The All Seeing White Eye
Type: Supplementary
Rank: C
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 15 (+5 per turn to keep active)
Damage: N/A
Description: The kekkei genkai intrinsic to both the Hyūga and Ōtsutsuki clans—descendants of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki. Those who possess this dōjutsu have it manifested as eyes with featureless white irides and no visible pupils. And when activated, the pupils become more distinct and the veins near their temples bulge. To activate the dōjutsu, Hyuga but not Ōtsutsuki clan members are initially obliged to use a rather long and specific sequence of handseals: Horse → Tiger → Boar → Hare → Rat → Dog → Horse → Dog → Hare → Rat → Boar → Snake. But once activated, the dōjutsu user is endowed with a range of skills.

To start, an activated Byakugan gives the user a near 360º diameter field of vision bar one blind spot at the back of the neck, above the first thoracic vertebra. Its vision can penetrate through any solid objects or obstructions, and likewise remains unaffected by blinding interferences. But that being said, certain barriers and the like may distort its perception. In addition, it is able to follow high-speed movements, which enables those with this dōjutsu to analyze their foes' actions and better react to them. The Byakugan is also able to see chakra to a higher degree than the Sharingan and ergo, identify where a person's chakra signature originates from. Beyond that, it can discern certain types of clones from the real person. And its ability to see chakra is in fact so acute that those who possess this dōjutsu are even able to see the chakra pathway system and the 361 tenketsu that comprise it. The Hyūga clan has gone so far as to develop their unique Gentle Fist style in order to capitalize on this particular ability.

Note: Hyuga clan bios of at least Sannin rank become able to passively activate their dōjutsu upon one month having passed since Gentle Fist training concluded. Ōtsutsuki bios never need to expend a move in order to activate it.
Note: While traversing the NW, bios with activated Byakugan are able to see up to two 2 adjacent landmarks away while those of sage rank can see as far as three away, but this doesn't extend beyond an ocean landmark.

I pull my feet together and stretch out my arms. As I bring them towards the center of my body, I begin to breathe in deeply and then exhaling.

"Horse → Tiger → Boar → Hare → Rat → Dog → Horse → Dog → Hare → Rat → Boar → Snake"

As I begin weaving the necessary handseals, I begin gathering my chakra towards my eyes. I can feel the strange tingle from the first time I tried it. It's a familiar feeling but this time I know how to do it faster or at least that is what I initially believed. I was relieved however that I was finally making progress no matter how small. I had to be optimistic of course because the alternative was...undesirable. I remembered to be nice to my sensei so I said it at an adequate pace and mouthed my words carefully so he could understand me despite being mute.

"...Thank you..."

[Ryóma]

Happy to see the outcome, Ryuu smiled and clapped at his fellow Hyūga's success.

Well, now that you have your eyes activated, tell me, what can you see in our bodies?

 

[Deviation]

"Wow! This is incredible! Everything looks different!"

I was so surprised at what I was seeing with these eyes. I mean I've had them forever but this...this is different. I got lost in thought that I had forgotten to respond quickly to his question. I tried my best to explain what I saw but even I was stumped at what I was actually looking at or what I was supposed to be looking at.

"Oh right! Sorry sensei. When I'm looking at you specifically, I can see what looks like blood vessels but they're a different color. At several points throughout these lines where they converge, I can see these...small orbs or nodes? What do those do?"

I was now intrigued at what I was seeing and really wanted to know more. I mean I may not come off as one but I was definitely a nerd when it came to analysis and theory crafting. That and I really liked stuff that was weird, different, and creative and maybe I had hit the jackpot.

"Sensei...please tell me more"

If my eagerness wasn't apparent and enough I was prepared to do more.

 

[Ryóma]

As Leon delighted in his sight, Ryuu remembered back to when he first saw the world through them. It was marvelous.

Excellent, you noticed them. These are the chakra systems you have heard about, that live within all of us. As you can see, there are also these tiny dots along the chakra pathways called tenketsu; 361 in total. These are the places you can release chakra from. As a Hyūga, you will be able to release it from all of them. Tenketsu can also be blocked by attacking them, something you will learn to do soon. Also, look. Not only can you see our chakra systems, you can also see the organs. The heart, lungs and liver are just some of the delicate organs here. If you were to attack them, it would be lethal of course.

As Ryuu was explaining all this, he used his non-writing hand to point to the parts in his body that he was speaking of. He then created a multitude of clones; enough for this practice session. These would be essential as the student would need to see the chakra pathways and so needed real bodies to practice on.

Notice that you cannot tell the difference between the clones and my body with your Byakugan. We all look the same. Anyways, now that you have your Byakugan, let's get started with the techniques of Gentle Fist, shall we? We'll start with the simplest techniques so you can get a feel of this ability.

One of Ryuu's clones stepped forward towards the student, ready to be used as a guinea pig for training.

First, I want you to locate a tenketsu of your choosing on this clone. Then, using two fingers, gather chakra at them, before striking that specific tenketsu. If you are successful, you will notice that the chakra flow to and from that tenketsu will be blocked. Try it out.

(Jūken: Tenketsushin) - Gentle Fist: Tenketsu Needle
Type: Offensive
Rank: D
Range: Short
Chakra: 10
Damage: 20
Description: Targeting a single chakra point, the user delivers a two-fingered strike at the opponent, in an attempt to plug the chakra that's being used and halt its flow.

 

[Deviation]

I was all fired up at the prospect of gaining more knowledge and experience. I wanted to learn as much as I can and I want to do it with all I got. I replied a little too eager but I am hoping sensei will understand my enthusiasm.

I really want to be able to protect what I love. Even if sometimes it requires a little force.

"Alright sensei let's do this."

I looked at the clone affectionately and said...

"Hey. I'll call you Ryuumaru. Just like your old man."

I get in a stance quickly and begin analyzing not only my surroundings but my target as well. MY first thought in disabling my opponent is his weakpoints and what a good way to start then by logically going for the arms. After all, they can't weave handseals or perform techniques that require the use of their arms. Might not be right but that is what my gut was telling me.

I make the first move after remaining in a stance by focusing my chakra towards my right hand's two fingers. I precisely aim for the area where the elbows are. It is intense because I have to maneuver around my enemy because I know they will be trying to do the same that I am - gain the upper ground. I make sure to keep in mind that I might get it wrong but that is the joy of battle right?

"Gentle Fist: Tenketsu Needle! "

 

[Ryóma]

If he had a voice, Ryuu would have laughed at his student's nickname for his clone, but just managed a smile. He then focused on Leon's form. Using his own Byakugan, Ryuu observed his student's chakra system. As the latter performed his attack, Ryuu could see the chakra being transferred from his fingers, into the clone's chakra node at the elbow. Excellent. It seemed he knew how to strike a chakra point. As the clone was hit, its chakra from the elbow to its hand was blocked, and it soon dispersed.

Very good. I like how you got the elbow. You managed to block the chakra from going to the hand, which would affect an opponent's ability to make hand seals as the chakra flow would be halted. Since you seem to have the hang of it, let's move on to the next two shall we? For the next technique, use your fingers to strike again, but this time at the organs instead of at the tenketsu. You can choose any organs you wish, and your strikes have to be 16 in total, which means that you can hit each of your chosen organs multiple times.

Another clone stepped forward towards the man as Ryuu gave the instructions.

(Jūken: Hyūga Ryuu Taijutsu) - Gentle Fist: Hyūga Style Taijutsu
Type: Offensive
Rank: D
Range: Short
Chakra: 10
Damage: 20
Description: A mini barrage of gentle fist strikes that equal 16 in total. Rather than targeting chakra points, the strikes can hit multiple inner organs to cause more widespread damage overall.

For the next technique, you are going to defend instead of attack. One of my clones is going to rush towards you, and you have to gather chakra at all of your tenketsu this time, instead of just in your fingers. Then, as the clone draws close to you, rapidly spin your body and release the chakra from all your tenketsu. I'll show you the strongest version of it.

Motioning for his clones to move away from him to a sufficient distance away, Ryuu himself moved back away from the student. He then gathered chakra at all his tenketsu, spinning as he released it. This caused a large sphere of chakra to form around him, protecting him from anything outside it. He had performed the strongest variant of it, and so it spanned quite a distance. He then moved back to his original position.

Try it out, what I just did, at a lesser extent though. The bigger you make it, the more chakra you need. You can choose whether you want to do it at the D-Rank level, C, B or even A if you think you can manage.

A clone dashed towards the student then with a kunai in its hand, intent on harming the man if he did not defend.

(Jūken: Hakkeshou Kaiten) - Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Palm Revolving Heaven
Type: Defensive/Offensive
Rank: D-S
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 10-40
Damage: 20-80
Description: A maneuver that obliges advanced chakra control—achieved via training in the Gentle Fist style—to release varied amounts of chakra from all of the user's 361 tenketsu, simultaneously. And in the midst of doing so, the user proceeds to rapidly spin and thereby, form a rotating shield of chakra with their own person at the epicenter. This functions as a defense to compensate for the Byakugan's blind spot as the released chakra blocks everything in a true 360° range and is able to send those struck by it careening back.

Note: D to C-rank is short-range while each rank thereafter will increase the diameter by 5 meters.

Also, one thing you should keep in mind is that Gentle Fist techniques are weak to the elements as they are raw chakra, however, this last technique, Kaiten, is neutral to them since it uses shape manipulation.

After the first set of instructions was over, I looked over towards Ryuumaru and I just knew I was ready. I had already gathered a strategy in my mind on how I wanted to proceed. I place my left foot in front and my right foot back as I open my palms up and get in a stance. As I begin running forward with my right foot, I begin gathering chakra towards the palm of my hands. Once within distance of striking a hit I strike forward with my left hand to create an opening for the next seven strikes that I alternate from my right hand to my left hand. Once striking his body with my palms, I concentrate those strikes towards his stomach and liver, making sure to carefully strike at an angle so that my strikes bypass whatever defenses he may have with his hands. Once those strikes were done with I proceeded by spinning around my target to reach his backside to which I completed the technique by striking another 8 times towards his back. I tried to put as much weight as I could to some of my hits in order to create more impact. After all, my mission was to disable him using this technique. I hoped all would work out fine as I had planned in my head.

(By strikes does that mean fingertips or palm strikes?)

I was so excited after Sensei performed the next jutsu. I really wanted to show the best of what I can do. I was getting used to these eyes little by little. Once in position, I begin to spin using one of my feet to pivot. As I do that, I begin to release chakra from all of my tenketsu. The feeling is overwhelming but interestingly it felt like home and something completely natural. My instincts always were right...or so I thought. WIth my chakra being expelled from me I then begin to manipulate its shape as I spin rapidly. It all comes together as I begin to push out more chakra and spin much more faster. My efforts prove fruitful as my technique begins to push the target away. Although I wasn't up to my sensei's level, I still managed to impress him by at least doing the B-Rank version considering I was barely a genin (but a Kage at heart <3).

Although I hadn't talked much, I still appreciated the lessons and much more for the useful advice he offered. I liked this sensei. I reached out a rice-ball that I prepared for Ryuu that came with a little note that said...

"Thank you for the lessons today and prior. I hope you enjoy this juicy rice ball with spiced meat in the inside. In case that isn't to your liking I also have other snacks in my bag. -dattebayo"​

They're finger strikes, like how Neji used them.

Ryuu carefully observed the student's moves, pleased that he executed them well. The clones dispersed, and Ryuu clapped before writing.

Good job on both of them. Impressive size of the Kaiten as well! As you get stronger, you'll be able to make them larger too.

Ryuu then watched as Leon gave him a rice ball with a note. After reading the note, he thought that Leon was quite innocent and also very polite. He was proud to have a clan member like him. He smiled gratefully and accepted the food, eating it to show that he liked it. He hadn't brought any food with him, so it was quite nice of his student to offer him some. After finishing, he decided to move on with the lesson.

Okay, I have more energy now, thank to that awesome rice ball! So let's move on to stronger techniques then! They also require more chakra though, so be prepared. For the first one, you will go within striking distance of a clone, and then you will strike 16 tenketsu on its body to stop their flow, using your fingertips. If you perform all these strikes on a single limb, it will not be able to use Ninjutsu for a bit, and if you spread them out over the body instead, the target will not be able to chakra surges of S-Rank and higher for a bit. It also reduces their chakra supply. A nice technique, but of course, you have to make sure you're in close range of the target first.
A clone stepped forward for the student, and Ryuu waited for him to perform the technique before moving on to the next one.

(Jūken: Hakke Sanjūni Shō) - Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Sixteen Palms
Type: Offensive
Rank: C
Range: Short
Chakra: 15
Damage: 30
Description: A maneuver that in effect is akin to a halved variant of the Eight Trigrams Thirty-Two Palms and accordingly, halts the flow of chakra that circulates in sixteen tenketsu of the foe's chakra pathway system. If the selected tenketsu are localized to a single limb, then the recipient of this move is rendered unable to use the targeted limb for ninjutsu for one turn, which includes those with applied passives. If the strikes are not all localized to a single limb, then the foe will instead be unable to use chakra surges of S-rank and higher for one turn. Beyond those effects, the usage of this maneuver will reduce the victim's chakra supply and any accumulated senjutsu chakra by 5% per use.

Next, run towards a clone, then jump and hit any one of its vital organs. Or, if you want, you can also jump high into the air before coming down upon the clone, landing a palm attack on it. Whichever you choose, the target will have a decreased speed for a while if it hits them.

Another clone stepped forward, waiting. Ryuu once again went onto the next technique once this was completed.

(Jūken: Hakke Kakuu Raishuu) – Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Aerial Attack
Type: Offensive
Rank: C
Range: Short
Chakra: 15
Damage: 30
Description: The user runs toward an enemy at full speed before jumping and hitting one of the foe’s vital organs. Alternatively, the user may jump from a high distance, then descend into the palm attack. After being hit, the target will incur a decrease to their base speed.

Note: Base speed is reduced by 1 level per use and the effect lasts for up to five turns.

The last one of this rank involves you grabbing the clone's extended arm, flipping it around, then striking it on its back 3 times to send it flying. Use any strikes you wish for this. This technique requires the opponent to have their arm extended, so its good for when someone is trying to grab you, or punch you for example. Try it out.

A clone came close to Leon, aiming to land a punch with its right hand on the students chest. This gave Leon the chance to seize the clones outstretched arm.

(Jūken: Byakugan Sandageki) - Gentle Fist: Byakugan Three Strikes
Type: Offensive
Rank: C
Range: Short
Chakra: 15
Damage: 30
Description: The user grabs the opponent's extended arm, flips them around, then strikes them thrice on the back with enough force to send them flying.
