Welcome to Gaia! ::

9 < 12 fail

Tairu was becoming so confused by all of the material about chakra combination and elemental chakra the he just set the scroll down on the ground, switched from a seated position to a laying one, and just looked up at the clouds.

My brain just needs a rest, that's all. Tairu thought as blanked out his mind and just laid on his back. I've just been reading too much too fast and it's an information overload. he reasoned. It's not that I can't comprehend the material, it's just I learned too much too fast. That was it wasn't it? Tairu closed his eyes and just reviewed the information he had learned. Levels of body functions, the circulatory system, the nervous system, the chakra circulatory system. It was all swirling in his head and Tairu need to organize everything he had learned and get ready for more.

12 = 12 pass

The lesson finished up with some diagrams on how dress a wound, make splints for broken bones, and makes slings for broken arms. Tairu had finished the lesson rather quickly and found him self with nothing to do once again. Tairu would need something to do and he considered going to the library but wasn't sure about what he should because running laps sounded like a good idea to. Well, I could really use some more information on first aid, but I need to do some physical training as well, though I also need to do some chakra training, ugh what should I do?

She ended up taking him away from the village.

"Come, now..." Spoke Yokou soothingly, sweatdropping slightly, as the stubborn child in her arms turned his head aside as she tried to speak to him. She tried the other approach then, from the other side, while her feet treated through the dirt path: "...I said I was sorry..."

But the child only turned his head the other way with a huff.

"Really..." She muttered. "Being angry won't change a thing."

But at the least he had stopped struggling...

No response, to her efforts.

His head turned slightly back, but he merely gave her a short glare, golden tints in darkly emerald orbs catching the sunlight as the Senju's eyes narrowed, and with a huff, he resumed to ignoring her, showing her the back of his head once more.

Yokou suddenly gotten the vivid image of an angry turtle when it ignores its owner, and merely shows them its behind...

14 + 4 (tumble) = 18 = awsomesauce acrobatics.
Hp: 42/44

Just as Tairu had finished brushing himself off he felt the ground give way beneath his feet. The earth suddenly shifted and caused Tairu to slide side ways and he soon found him self falling over the edge of a steep hill. Tairu felt the ground disappear from beneath his feet as he went airborne. Falling through the air Tairu braced himself for impact as he neared the the ground again. When his feet made contact with the hill side he bent his knees and slid down the hill as if he were on a snowboard. As he approached the bottom of the hill Tairu saw two people who looked vaguely familiar but he couldn't see them from his current distance. As Tairu came closer he could see that it was the Hyuuga head of Family. Tairu slid to a stop in front of of them and immediately bowed, touching his forehead to the earth he said "Please forgive this one for his intrusion."

"Oh, quit being such a-!" She began to her Sensei, growing annoyed now.

And once again, in a single morning, she was cut off again. Then again, it wasn't everyday someone tumbles high over your head, lands before you, and manages still yet to bury his forehead into the ground... Yokou stared, for a long moment, at the new arrival...clearly at a loss of words.

Instrusion? She thought vaguely. For what?

Then it hit her.

Oh, it was Tairu-kun! The Hyuuga child she met earlier... It would be perhaps a strange sight for the child: to see the Hyuuga head of family carrying the emerald-eyed child from earlier in her arms. If there wasn't the present danger of Zephyr running off again the moment she lets go of him, she would've helped Tairu up, so instead she made a gesture of peace, and beckoned the child to stand.

"Tairu-kun! That's not necessary..."

42/44 + 1 = 43/44

Tairu stood up slowly, "Well Yokou-sama, you see my father lives by the strictest of formalities and the last time, well never mind. I'm sorry." Tairu said reluctantly as he hesitated and the did not tell the story of how his shut down his legs for not bowing quick enough.

You dummy, ask her if she can teach you about the Byakugan!

"Um, Yokou-sama my Byakugan activated recently and since I know my family won't teach me how, can you teach me the Juuken Kempo Ryuu?" Tairu asked nervously as he averted his to the ground. He was quite nervous and had it not been for his recent growth as an academy student Tairu would have lacked the courage to even ask Yokou for such a thing.

Father?

Strictest of formalities?

Judging from how well-mannered the child was, even considering his Hyuuga lineage, she would assume then, Tairu was a child of one of the Elders...and how his voice trailed off with a slight grimace in his eye there... Oh.

Oh.

How terrible. Even if he did not tell her, she had somewhat of an inkling as to what had happened.

"..."

She did not immediately speak. This seemed to have caught Zephyr's attention too, for the Senju lord all the sudden looked greatly worried. The same thought seemed to run through their heads, for Yokou, not even motioning to form the seals for the Byakugan for her hands were occupied, forced her Doujutsu to surface: the familiar veins of the Byakugan forming at the sides of her eyes and trailing to the temples and barely down to the cheekbone.

"..."

And she looked furious.

The chakra system of the boy's legs...the difference was slight, but noticeable... Clearly, the lingering work of Jyuuken Kempo, and the child had definitely not received immediate medical attention. And so, without a word, she placed her Sensei down, the Senju 'child' looking quietly subdued as she approached the Hyuuga boy, and knelt down. With swift celerity, and beautiful accuracy, she formed the seals necessary for the Shosen medical technique.

And specifically targeted healing along the chakra lines there.

"Did you father do that to you...?" She asked, her voice deadly soft. "Byakugan draws on our whole body's energies...it is a gift to be able to even activate it, with such a damaged chakra system." Here she paused. "Years ago...when my daughter, Elruda, took to training under the Elders...a similar thing occurred."

"...I didn't know, until she came to me one night, crying, and telling me her stomach hurts. And then, she coughed up blood." Mere whispers now. "They told me it was for the better good that the princess learned the clan arts. They did not take her to the doctors, and tried healing her on their own, because then, I would've known..."

At the time, Yokou had, after all, operated the hospital as the head medic.

"Because of the war against the Go-ryu masters, I did not see her for a year and half. When she came to me, finally, in Iwa, I learned that she activated her Byakugan. And even completed the basic stance that gave her so much trouble. But still, she loved Ninjutsu more..."

She gave him a soft smile, Byakugan fading.

"I don't find that a shameful thing."

The head of family didn't find it a shame that her daughter, the princess of the clan, could not learn the clan arts swiftly...?

And she added: "Nor should you."

Not just Elruda...Tairu too. It wasn't something to be ashamed about, not being able to do Jyuuken as early as the other children.

"To use Jyuuken as punishment...and our own..." Her lip curled slightly, with distaste. "...nor do I think Jyuuken should be a forced duty. You see, we all have what we are good at. ...but I still bid you congratulations: however, only if you truly wish to learn the Jyuuken Kempo, then, I will teach you."

Yarotai let out a hearty laugh at the Uchiha's ability to work through his issue with the handseals for the Bunshin no Jutsu. He gave the child a quick slap on the shoulder in congratulations whether he wanted it or not. As was already very apparent about the young man, he had no consideration for anyone's personal space. Not even his own. Since he knew that the boy would want to carry on with the technique and learn it in its entirety he stood up on the stump, tall and proud.

"Alright Mr Giggles, now for the real deal. Try and make as many copies of yourself as possible. I'm not going to give you any help at first. Let's see what you already know about chakra."

((No more bonus to Takeshi.))
