Making a slight face at Kazuma as he chose the technique he wanted, Tanu was first displeased with the technique he chose, but it did shine a certain light on possibilities that type of technique would open up. If you could look like someone else, there was no end to what you may do. "Hm..." Tanu hummed as she thought of taking on the form of Shinichi to tell the other kids what to do. Her thoughts were interrupted as Kazuma continued to examine her attitude. "Uhh..." Tanu started as she rolled her eyes to the sky like it was obvious that a proud Kun 'Kumo would act like that. "Uhm," the mint haired ruffian began to stutter as she actually went back in her mind about her actions. The bullies back home had acted like her. Tanu had changed drastically since she was accepted into the Shimagakure Academy. The girl thought she had been picking on the weak so that they would man-up and get stronger, but that wasn't the case. She was just bullying them now. "No.." Tanu unwillingly admitted to Kazuma as she found that she had been in the wrong. The girl was just having a hard time taking advice about her attitude from someone that just mooned the Kage! Tanu really wished that her cousin Kana was here to point the two in the right direction. She hoped she had chosen the right place for them by coming to the Yamanaka for guidance and teachings. Her green and red eyes looked up as Hanabira began to speak again. She held up the seal of the ram proudly and explained what it was for and then explained the first step to the technique that Kazuma was trying. "That sounds difficult," Tanu muttered under her breath as she took a moment to wait and see just how Kazuma did. "Well, how should I have dealt with the brat in front of the door?" Tanu asked in a bit of a huff as she put her hand on her hip and turned towards Kazuma. She was having a hard time focusing on her task now that her attitude had been brought up and she realized that she was wrong!

Kazuma nodded as Hanabira said the name of the jutsu he'd suggested, truth was he didn't actually know it's name and he was just going along with what she said. His eyes followed her hands as she made the ram seal. He hadn't used any of the hand seals for a while so without hanabira's demonstration he would be completely lost. "Concentrate Chakra... " He repeated in his head as he clumsily tried to make the same seal that Hanabira had. He made the seal, or atleast he thought he did. Nothing really changed when he did. Though he didn't really know what moving chakra felt like... His eyes wondered over to Tanu's own attempt at the hand seal, his looked better than hers and that made him grin. When Tanu asked him about how to deal with that girl she screamed at earlier he just groaned and turned his attention back to his own hand seals. He didn't know how to behave anymore than she did.

Tanu's eyebrow twitched as Kazuma merely groaned at her question and turned away. Her tensions were wearing down with him for awhile, but now they were about to break again. "Whatever," Tanu said with a snobby tone as she turned her back to her cousin and focused on training once again. She thought she had been learning it rather quickly, but she had hit a snag as she came to it again. "Its just a freaking hand seal," Tanu told herself through her teeth as she pressed her hands together and arranged her fingers. She just couldn't get it, so she looked up at Hanabira's seal once again. "Oh," she spoke to herself as she just moved a single finger to the way they was suppose to be. "Hanabira! What do I do next?" Tanu asked, fumbling her hands together and turning towards the Yamanaka to receive the next step of her training.

It was odd for Kazuma to be concentrating on something like this but the possibilities for such a power were to much to resist. He wasn't really having any trouble making the hand seal, but using it as a focus to cause a reaction with his chakra was an entirely different matter. He just couldn't seem to get anywhere with it. With a heavy sigh and an equally heavy amount of annoyance he pulled his hands apart and turned to Tanu. " Why don't you ask Hanabira what you asked me before, she knows how normal POLITE people act." He said without any real hostility before turning back to Hanabira. " Nothing is happening..." He said with a shrug. Maybe she'd be able to shed some further insight on the subject, she seemed to have a particular interest in that type of jutsu, so she must be good at it right?

Kazuma continued his effort to get the cloud of smoke to appear but he was unable to even get a puff of smoke let alone the full cloud. He groaned loudly, already losing concentration and getting bored of it. " Am I even doing this right?!" He growled. He wasn't angry at anyone just annoyed. he shifted his hands again, changing the formation to what he thought might be closer but infact was even worse than before.

Hanabira sat idly by, holding the seal up for the two of them to reference too when they needed it. It seemed they were both struggling with their attitudes and behavior problems more than wanting to focus on training. She tuned out for a moment, thinking about her technique that she had been working on. There had been so many personality features she had picked up from everyone on the village, but she had not taken any from the Kun 'Kumo's. Looking up quickly, Hanabira heard her name being said by Tanu. "Oh," Hanabira said with an open mouth as she dropped the seal and turned to her notebook. "Now you have to focus on manipulating your chakra," Hanabira said as she flipped through her pages. "You should be sending your chakra through your muscles in order to accelarte your movements," Hanabira explained looking up at Tanu to see if she could tie the Nawanuke training where she had applied chakra to her muscles to make them more flexible, to Kawamiri, where she was now focusing to accelerate.
"U-Uhm," Hanabira stuttered as Kazuma told Tanu to ask her before she asked him. "Tenmoki-sensei would be a good person to ask... or Tenko-sama," Hanabira suggested, knowing that she couldn't instruct manners like she was jutsus. "Mm... Its hard to learn genjutsu after you've learned ninjutsu," Hanabira said to Kazuma, letting him know that he was challenging himself. "Not many people understand genjutsu," she mumbled, thinking about the Tenmoki clan who had a hard time grasping it.

" But I don't even know Ninjutsu that well..." Kazuma thought to himself, he wouldn't voice those thoughts even if the others already knew he was so under trained. He wouldn't admit it out loud. He figured that the advice Hanabira gave to Tanu would apply to him aswell, they were both using the same seal, both trying to focus chakra so why not? He made sure he had the seal corrected to Hanabira's example and then focused on manipulating his chakra, or atleast the idea of it moving to where he wanted it to go as he had no real experience with chakra manipulation. the look on his face was quite comical, his eyes screwed shut and an intent look of concentration on his face. It took a few moments but his small reserve of chakra began to slowly move through his body, it was an odd sensation, almost completely foreign to him. It did bring back the memories of learning the only other technique he knew. The Kawarimi. He could remember learning it, although it was a little hazy. He wondered if he could even still do the Kawarimi. He'd just learnt the technique and never practiced afterwards. Which was why he found this so difficult. Things were starting to come back though and he was rewarded as his chakra was manipulated to his will, a small amount just enough to create a tiny puff of smoke from his hands but his reaction was as if he'd just mastered the hardest technique known to Shinobi. " HAHAHA DID YOU SEE THAT?! I DID IT! " He bellowed in triumph, it was far from the cloud of smoke required but it was a huge step in the right direction. Was the young Kun Kumo trouble maker more capable than everyone thought?

Even if Kazuma wasn't being hostile, he was still rubbing on Tanu's nerves. The one thing that was keeping the Kun 'Kumo's anger in check was his constant failure. It made her smile as she finished her first exercise and he was still stuck on his first. "Probably not," Tanu mumbled under her breath as Kazuma shouted to ask if he was doing his technique right. Almost missing Hanabira's quiet voice, Tanu turned to the girl as she explained the next step. "Send chakra through my muscles to accelerate my movements..." Tanu repeated as she took only one second to think about the next step and the advice. "Tenmoki-sensei?" Tanu asked with a big of a gagging look on her face. "I haven't even seen her around. She wasn't at that festival," Tanu said, not even stopping to ask who the heck was Tenko. Not worrying too much about her former teacher at the academy, Tanu turned to her training that Hanabira had told her to try next. "Muscles," she said to herself again, remembering how she had learned Nawanuke and been told to apply her chakra to her muscles to make them flexible. Now there was a change to make them move quicker... "Hm," Tanu hummed to herself as she actually did stop to think before she tried to execute.

"This is easy!" Tanu said with a cocky smile, since she knew that Kazuma was having trouble. Tanu could already feel her chakra pouring out into her muscles just like it had before. Instead of loosening her muscles this time around to make them more flexible, she just had to focus on tightening them to make them move faster! "I got this in the bag! This technique is really easy to learn. No wonder it was the first one you knew," Tanu said to Kazuma.

After training hard that afternoon and morning, Shin had bathed and cleaned himself up for the festival's dinner. He was especially excited to have the opportunity to take Hanabira! She told him that he was one of her only friends, so his confidence had been boosted once again. As he walked up to the flower shop, his fist halted before knocking on the door as he heard a boy yell out in joy and a familiar voice boast loud enough for him to hear. Was Tanu really here? Rounding his way to the back, Shin's chocolate eyes caught the site of Tanu, Hanabira and another boy training in the back yard. "Hana-chan," Shin said with a light smile as he hopped the fence and walked over to the girl that was sitting while these two trained. No one seemed to be hostile towards one another, and they all looked as if they were having fun. Shin had a feeling that Tanu had apologized to the freckled faced girl and even found a friend... "Hey, I'm Nara Shinobu. You can call me, Shin," the boy said, first introducing himself to the other boy with the green hair. "You guys going to come to the festival dinner tonight?" the boy asked casually, all his frustrations with Tanu fading away instantly as he put his hands in his pockets and waited for the other two's answers.

Kazuma tried to ignore Tanu's comment about how easy the technique was. It was easy enough to see that as an insult. He'd just have to learn this one as well and show her up! He blocked everyone else out and concentrated on making this cloud of smoke appear. Moving the chakra around was coming easier this time, he just needed to move more of it. With a look on his face like he needed to poop he focused on pushing the chakra out from his body all over as opposed to his little wisp of smoke out of his hands before. It looked for a moment like nothing was happening but suddenly POOF! Kazuma disappeared into a cloud of smoke and when it slowly faded out as the chakra was used up Kazuma was left standing in a rather triumphant pose. He stuck his tounge out at Tanu and was about to say something about betting she couldn't do that when somebody else made their way in. He watched the boy walk up and introduce himself, he hadn't seen this Shin before, another one of these students that came in since he was kicked out? "Kun' Kumo Kazuma! " He cried out rather obnoxiously as he stuck out his thumb and pointed it towards himself. He'd always made certain to make sure people remembered his name and what better way than to be loud about it? He pulled his thumb back in and scratched his head when Shin asked about the dinner. " Festival dinner...?" He asked without a clue what he was on about.

Tanu's face turned sour as she saw Shin approach the group. He began by acknowledging Hanabira and introducing himself to her cousin. The dumb Nara didn't say a word to her though. As the boy asked the group if they were going to attend the festival dinner, Tanu made another nasty looking face of distaste while Kazuma asked what the dinner was. "I don't know," Tanu said brashly as she focused on manipulating her own chakra and waited for Hanabira to explain. The Yamanaka probably knew, because it seemed that the little brat knew everything! "Ha! Done! That's two I've finished in the time you haven't finished one, Kazuma!" Tanu boasted as she turned and waited for Hanabira to give her the next step of the training. "What' next?" Tanu asked with her hands on her hips, hoping that Shin's presence wouldn't disrupt their training.

Giving the boy a weak smile, he was surprised to hear yet another Kun 'Kumo introduce themselves with such obnoxious behavior. Shin had concluded that the clan that Kazuma and Tanu hailed from was full of many loud and prideful individuals. "There was a sports festival today. I hadn't joined in at all, so I'm not sure what all went on, but I wanted to attend the dinner since it will be Shinichi-sama's first dinner as Kage... Haha..." Shin said with a nervous smile as he thought about that tall wraith-like figure sitting in the Kage's chair. The Nara had a feeling that dinner would be quiet and still as if the figure of death was hovering above everyone. "Ha..." Shin sighed, as he turned to Hanabira, knowing that the dinner would be well worth it if the girl was by his side. "Ready to go?" he asked her, hoping she had a little time to clean up before the Kun 'Kumo's came to her house. "Why don't you guys take a break and come with?" Shin asked Tanu and Kazuma and the instantly regretted it. Inviting others along was just a natural act that Shin didn't know how to stop. His body curled back slightly from Tanu as he remembered the last time he had invited her to do something and how terribly it had ended.

Hanabira smiled softly at Kazuma as he managed to create the little smoke cloud with genjutsu. The girl tried to block out the words of war that fled from Tanu's mouth towards her struggling cousin and instead turned to a newly arriving guest. "Shin," Hanabira said, returning the greeting as the boy hopped over the fence and then continued to introduce himself to Kazuma. As he asked the Kun 'Kumo's if they were going to join in the dinner, Hanabira could tell that Tanu felt a little hurt or something was suddenly bothering her. Hanabira tilted her head only slightly and took note of her sudden change of attitude when Shin arrived. The change quickly went back to normal as she finished the exercise that Hanabira had given her. "Uhm, why don't we continue tomorrow?" Hanabira asked Tanu as she stood up on her ankle. It was feeling much better now that Hanabira had rested and she felt that she could walk on her own now. With a nod of her head, she signaled to Shin that she was ready to go.

"Yea!" Shin said, agreeing with Hanabira as he grabbed onto her hand a little too quickly than he had intended. "We'll meet you guys up at the Rice Farm if you decide to come!" the boy said quickly as he began leading Hanabira away from the two Kun 'Kumo's. He wanted to get to the dinner quickly since the bell had already rang for everyone to meet. Shin didn't like to be late, but it seemed that he was getting in the habit of it!
