For the third time Rhaim felt wash of numbness spread across his face as his back slammed into the ground. If there was some greater lesson beyond, 'don't fight someone twice your size', he surely was not getting it. Nor would he by this point. He clumsily rolled over to his stomach and watched as a pool of blood began to form beneath him from his freely flowing mouth and nose. His vision was blurred, his head was light, and this kid showed no sign of either letting up on his attacks or offering any advice. Despite what his intentions of this session were, Rhaim found that he was simply getting his arse kicked for the sake of being someone's punching bag. Rhaim wanted desperately to line up some sort of attack or opportunity for Conan, but as it was the boy could barely stand without his knees shaking uncontrollably. Knowing that there was no way that he'd ever land a hit in his condition, but hoping that he could at least take the Uchiha's attention off of Conan, he swung a wide slow punch through the air.

Completing her review of her next assignment Tenma sighed, this was more than she had expected it to be. But she wouldn't let that stop her. After scanning her scroll again she prepared herself for the task. For this particular excercise she would have to complete the tiger, boar, ox, and dog handseals in that order while building her chakra. That was one benefit about not being host to a spirit yet, she didn't have to distinguish one energy from another. Granted, she would normally be considered a freak back home because she didn't have her spirit.

Not letting the troubles of the spirits get to her head Tenma focused on the task at hand. Sitting with her legs crossed she began to breath in a meditative fashion. As she did this she turned her attention inward, feeling the cannals of chakra flowing throughout her body. Focusing on the direction of the chakra flow she began to urge it to her hands as they began creating the appropriate seals.

Completing the handseals Tenma allowed her energy to flow away from her hands. It was odd, this assignment was taxing mentally, but not physically. Also, there was an odd tingling sensation in her hands where her chakra had built up. Soon enough she would be able to release the energy and create clones of herself as well as of others, however, that was still a time to come.

At least she had the comfort of knowing it wasn't a complete failure. Her previous work with the handseals had come in handy, no pun intended, during this excercise and it was nice to see that all of the training would eventually integrate itself. The main thing she was missing was the control over her chakra. Before today she had never honestly worked with chakra and had never learned to control it; but her will and her concentration were strong. Eventually this would become an effortless task.

Initiating her meditative breathing she felt the paths of chakra as her focus drew within her body. The cannals shifted and flowed between, beneath, and around one another. Her hands commenced in the fashion it had during her previous attempts and her mind focused her chakra to her hands and through to her fingertips; however, it didn't work in that way. As her mind tried to alter the flow of chakra something slipped. Instead of moving towards her hands the rivers of energy simply bent towards the indicated region and returned to their typical pathways. Another failure.

After having missed his wild swing at the Uchiha boy and landing flat on his face, Rhaim heard his name faintly being called from somewhere behind him. Picking himself up to his knees slowly he tilted his head to glance over his shoulder to identify who it was that was calling him. To his surprise it was someone that to his knowledge he hadn't met, though somehow knew his name. Letting his bob a bit from being exhausted Rhaim brought himself to his feet with his arms at his sides. Slowly he made his way over to the speaker, who Conan had already arrived in front of. Hoping that the Uchiha didn't take the opportunity to attack him from behind, the young boy wiped some of the blood from his face with his sleeve and stumbled forward. Finally beside Conan, he gave a slow nod to the older boy and turned his attention to the speaker. He was still catching his breath and letting the world slow down its' spinning and so didn't bother with saying anything.

Conan looked at the kid in the tree he clearly knew what he was talking about. He said that he and Rhaim should attack together against Kazumei. It was so simple yet Conan hadn’t figured it out. Nodding Conan turned to Rhaim and said “ Rhaim-Rhaim ill hit him high and you hit him low.” A smile still on his face Conan looked back at the kid in the tree. He was clearly not a student like him, Rhaim, and Kazumei. Conan looked up and said to the kid “ thanks for the advice tree-sempai” getting a determined look on his face Conan looked at Rhaim and said “ lets go Rhaim-Rhaim.” Conan ran over near Kazumei and said “ sorry for the wait Kazumei-kun were ready to continue now.” Conan started running around Kazumei. Once he got back to the front of him Conan ran up to Kazumei and threw a punch with his right hand towards Kazumeis head. At the exact same time Conan used his left hand and threw a punch at Kazumeis stomach. Kazumei would be too busy blocking the punch to his face to notice the punch to his stomach. If he did hit Kazumei it would give Rhaim a chance to do something.

The advice from the tree-top teacher was welcome, however Rhaim didn't see much of how this was anything new that they weren't already attempting. Regardless, it seemed to inspire Conan, which was actually quite helpful to the situation. Especially since it seemed to give Conan some inside edge as to how to hit the Uchiha.

So with his breath slightly caught and most of the blood now smeared across his shirt rather than his face, the young Nara took off towards his opponent once more. As Conan connected with the stomach Rhaim darted in from the behind and bore in a shot to the his left kidney. Rhaim knew that the Uchiha boy tended to attack the one that caused him the most pain, so if he could keep the attention from Conan for know it would give him an opening for another hit. However this all was banking on the Uchiha acting in a predictable manner that Rhaim had yet to truly understand.
