Welcome to Gaia! ::

(I'm so sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you, I promise this won't take much longer)

Atsureki nodded his head once before performing several hand-seals in rapid succession and saying calmly,"Kaze Bunshin no Jutsu."Suddenly four clones of Atsureki appeared, seeming to be carried on the wind and simply appearing rather than actually being formed from the element. All five Atsurekis turned as one to face Rai before saying in unison, "prepare youselves, Hyuuga Rai, for if you hesitate, you will die."

With that the Atsureki's began running around Rai, moving so quickly that they would appear as nothing but blurs to the boy. Suddenly, one of the clones lashed out from behind Rai, aiming with an open palm towards the small of his back. The attack was coming from such an angle and at such speed that, unless Rai managed to look behind him at the same time he was looking forward, he would have no chance of dodging.

(alright now, we're trying to activate your byakugan, but you're really going to need an epic post in order to attain it through this method)

(I like it, I would have expected a couple more attacks before he would be forced to activate them, but that sounds acceptable)

All five Atsureki's smiled in unison as Rai knocked away his attackers blow then prepared for his own counter-strike. As the hand came in towards the clone's body, the clone swept his free hand in front of his body to knock the blow aside, meanwhile two more clones moved in from either side one aiming for a low strike to the boy's abdomen, while the second aimed a blow at Rai's shoulder. It was time to test the boy's true progress, would he be able to use his new-found ability effectively, or was it wasted on him.

(srry it took so long, I'm really bad about checking on NPCs, I'll just send you on your merry way this post)

Rai's maneuver saved him from the low attack, but even as he managed to grab onto the other clone's hand, the real Atsureki appeared in above Rai, aiming an open palm strike at the center of Rai's chest. Rai would fall to the ground, hard, and the real Atsureki would land lightly on his feet, standing over his young pupil. With an approving nod, Atsureki held out a hand to help the boy up as he said calmly, "you've done well, that is all I have to teach you for now. You should report back to your squad, assuming you have one, and get make yourself stronger. Farewell, Hyuuga Rai."

With that, Atsureki turned on his heel and walked back into the heart of the compound, his robes fluttering behind him in the breeze.

(keep in mind that you cannot effectively cut off a persons chakra yet, but you do have a 360 degree field of vision, and you could tell when someones chakra is fluctuating strangely, including your own [which means you can tell when someone is in a genjutsu], as well as various other helpful things that having the ability to see the flow of chakra is useful for)

Etsushi stepped into the gates, her cold pale eyes fixed forward, ignoring the stares and whispers. She stepped forward, and those around her lowered their heads in a respectful bow, a treatment that was only given to the Clan Leader. A position she didn't want, but one that would be given to her once she started training Kiyoshi. She looked behind her to check to make sure he was still following her, before she walked down the streets, past the large houses and towards an area, tucked out of view. You would have seen it there unless you knew what to look for. She stepped up towards the house, and opened the door. The door groaned from the strength and stepped inside to see the rooms torn as if someone had just gotten into a fight. The only indication that the fight had been a long time ago was the thick coat of dust that coated everything, and the deep dark dried puddles that were once blood, that stained the wood. She turned towards her student, "My old home." she said simply.

You use to captivate me, by your resonating light
Now I'm bound by the life you've left behind.
Your face it haunts, my once pleasant dreams.
You're voice has chased away, all the sanity in me.
These wounds won't seem to heal. This pain is just too real.
There's just too much that time can not erase.

Etsushi gave the room a thoughtful look, almost as if she had seen something only viewable to her, a memory perhaps. She gave Kiyoshi a look, noticing his green-tinged expression, and frowned, realizing for the first time the house smelled like old death. She stepped over a broken chair and flung open the windows, letting, for the first time in three years air flow through the house, "The smell should go away soon," she said, opening another window, before moving down the hall, waving her hand for him to follow her.

She walked carefully down the hallway, stepping over debris carefully so she didn't disturb them, her bare feet seemingly dancing in the hall. She seemed to stop in the middle of the hallway and glanced at Kiyoshi, "This is the beginning, where I first got my name Akasuna no Chi. I assume you've heard of it," she asked, tho it was a rhetorical question. Every person who ever became a ninja had heard her name. It was in the Bingo Books. She wasn't an S-class criminal, but she was still there for her over zealous blood lust and her tendency to brutally murder people. She wondered briefly if the brunette man had realized who she was, but then realized she didn't care, "My father, did not consider me or my sister his child, since we were born with red hair, rather than the typical brown. He was shamed in the Hyuugan clan, and developed an anger towards my sister and I. Everyday brought new beatings. Everyday, he found new ways to hurt us. He donated my living sister to science, and genetically altered her DNA to make her an Abruame, a process that left her withering in pain for half a year afterward. One day an... incident occurred, and I snapped, taking the life of every single person who lived in this house, including that of my father in a single night," Etsushi closed her eyes, "Thirty people lost their lives by my blade in less than two hours," she murmured.

She turned and began walking down the hall as if not having spoken a single thing and stepped in front of a large door. She pushed it open, and they were greeted with a stale must, though the scent of death was not in this room. The room was grand, and even in the thick dust, the room seemed to sparkle with power, "Marvel Kiyoshi... you are standing in the old "thrown room" of the Hyuuga Clan," she said and moved forward towards a book shelf, "I admit, I know the theory, and I know how to teach you, but I myself do not know any techniques of the Byakugan," she said to him, and then spoke quieter, "I guess I will have to learn to. By stepping foot in the compound, I have agreed to take up the threshold of Clan Leader..."

Etsushi carefully watched the brunette man, a frown delicately pursing on her cherry lips. She closed her eyes and when she opened them, she was back in the past. Her father sat on the throne, screams permeating through the air. Someone rushed into the room, "My Lord! Etsushi and Shi they-!" and then the body was still, a kunai embedded firmly in the back of his skull, and her younger body, drenched in sweat, weather it was hers or someone else's none could tell pushed past his and stepped into the room, her eyes blazing with hell fire, growing colder and darker by the second.

She looked at Kiyoshi, and scowled, "The whole art of the Byakugan is to apply as little pressure to your body, while maintaining precision, exactness, and quickness to the point where the stress that should be on your body, is placed on your opponents body." she thrust her hand forward, and then, placed her index and middle finger on her shoulder and traveled it down her arm, and then to her hand, "The Kinetic energy, should flow so fast, from the top of your shoulder to your hand, that it keeps going outward to the air around you," she said, and turned, thrusting her hand forward again, this time towards the wall. Without even even touching the wood, the dust exploded out past her hand from the force of the blow that never touched it. She relaxed and looked at him, "Now you try. Force the kinetic energy out of your hand and disturb the dust."

Etsushi watched him from the shadows, glancing around the room, and allowing herself to drift for a few brief seconds back into her past. She saw him get frustrated and using rough aggression. If he used force like that, he would never disturb the dust. Then she watched him smile, his muscles relaxing, and he thrust forward. A satisfied smirk graced her face, and she moved forward towards him, and grabbed his arm from behind.

She pulled him into her body his back to her chest, placing her hands around his wrist, and directing his arms and body. She moved him into the Juken stance, and cocked his arm backward, before thrusting it forward towards the dust, "For the Hyuuga's, the kinetic energy is traded into chakra. Little burst," she thrust his arm again, towards the dust, "Of charka, that disturb the internal chakra system of your enemy. Too much chakra," she said, thrusting his arm faster, making the dust explode upwards, before settling down again, making the table look as if it hadn't been touched by the air, "Will do nothing. Too little," she thrust his arm again, but the dust wasn't even disturbed," Will have the same effect. You must be able to push enough chakra into the thrust to get the desired results," she said, thrusting his arm again, this time, a circle of dust the size of a quarter burst forward onto the table, and settled two inches above the circle, making a spot on the table clean and void of dust.

She let go of him, and stood in front of him, lowering herself into the Juken stance, "The stance, allows for quick jabs at your enemy, "She said pushing her hand forward at an enemy unseen, "While at the same time allowing yourself the ability to protect both the face and the stomach," she said, moving her arm to block invisible attacks to her face. She rose out of the stance, "The stance is hard to maintain at first, so practice it for a while, and then we'll continue." Etsushi moved away from him, and began walking around the room again, a dreamy expression on her face, like she was watching a movie only she could see.
