This illustrious building was commissioned by the Hyuuga main branch so that any and all Hyuugas in Sunagakure have a place where they can rest and train safely and privately. The building is maintained by a number of Hyuuga branch family members that keep everything up and running. The large square building has an open courtyard with an area perfect for training.

Rai Yasukazu Hyuuga ~EnterRai walked into the Hyuuga compound looking around. He smiled feeling a little at home. Memories of his best friend who he thought had died clouded his head. He had thought all this time his friends brain had been turned to mush for playing with him. Upon reading the letter earlier in his room, 1 telling him that there was now a Hyuuga Compound in Sunagakure, and 2nd, a letter from his friend. He... he's not dead..? What had actually happened was they were just placing the seal on his friend. But Rai was young, he didn’t know what was going on. A tear trickled down Rai's cheek as he remembered the words in the letter. How he had found Rai and found out where he was Rai didn’t know, but he was happy he did. Rai was happy now, and felt comfortable going back to his family. They weren’t the dark cold family he thought they were. Not to mention, they actually did know where he was, and having an alliance with the leaf helped. They had had someone from the family looking over Rai the whole time, Rai just hadn’t been told till now. Now that he was a Genin, he was no longer under watch. But he could now be involved with his family again.
And this was why he was here, to train to learn, to Master his Byakugan and Juken. Rai sat in the middle of the training area cross-legged as he wiped hi tear thinking to himself as he waiting for the teacher to show up.
However Rai still wondered, being born in the leaf and not running away to the sand till he was seven, was he member of the Sand village, or the Leaf? Or was he considered a missing ninja of the leaf, although he doubted that sense someone had been watching over him, otherwise they would have take’n him back if he was a missing ninja. But that still Raised the question. Was he by law a Sand Shinobi, or a Leaf Shinobi. Or....was he somehow both?...

 "So... you are Rai Hyuuga..." a voice calls out from behind Rai. The man was wearing a long white kimono, with black on the cuffs of the sleeves. Walking forward, the man gave Rai a once over before stopping in front of him. "My name is Hyuuga Atsureki, and I am the head of the Suna branch of the hyuuga clan, and I will be the one to teach you the secrets of our clans renowned taijutsu style, Juuken."

Rai Yasukazu Hyuuga Rai's ears perk up the instant the man started talking. Rai turned around watching the man as he looked him over, he just had something strong about him. "Yes, i am Rai." He stood up and bowed. "Its nice to finaly meet you Atsureki Sensei." Rai looked around a bit seeing no one else. "Will it just be us then Sensei?"

Atsureki merely nodded as he fell into the basic stance of the style, his primary hand out-stretched with his palm facing forward, his secondary hand cocked to the side with the palm facing up, his primary leg placed forward and cocked in slightly, while his secondary leg was held back and cocked perpendicular to the direction he's facing. "The key to Juken is fluid and precise motion, once you have mastered the different forms, and the correct method of striking we can move on. First do as I do", Atsureki said calmly, his face serene and relaxed.
He then began to move through several different stances, from a high block to counter position, low block to counter, mid block to counter, and finally back to the basic form. He continued to move through the different stances, his movements fluid and mesmerizing in their precision. Motioning for Rai to join in Atsureki watched and waited to see what his new student could do.(at least 2 posts moving through the different stances, a post is a good well-written paragraph, you can simply put both paragraphs in the same post if you wish)

Rai Yasukazu Hyuuga Rai stood there watching the master, looking over his movements, the fluidity of each step and arm swing. The way everything seemed to just flow together as if it were one movement and not just a bunch of different ones put together.
Rai then took pose. Moving his right hand and arm out in front of him and cocked his other arm to the side of him. He stretched out his right leg placing it in front of him slight awkwardly as he turned his left foot to the side like he had with his left hand. He felt a little unbalanced at first as he closed his eyes putting his masters image in his head of how HIS body had been.
After taking a deep breath Rai stepped forward blocking high with his left hand and striking with his right. Stepping back into starting position Rai took a deep breath again. Rai then used a sweeping motion to deflect at his mid-section as his other hand came around striking up in another sweep to nail someone in their neck. Resetting once more Rai then blocked low swinging his hand from above as a counter to strike someone in the shoulder.
He reset His form gaining more balance and centering himself. After which he blocked high and countered instantly afterwards, without moving back to starting position, blocks low, countering again. He quickly spins to sweep at his midsection to deflect any attack there and once again counters. Rai centers himself coming back to the starting position. wow.. almost tripped on that last turn around.. whew, close one. Rai then stood normally. "How was that Sensei?"
(you told me via pm that i could do 1 post, so...thats what i did, haha)

(I would actually consider that several posts, very nice, I'll say that you've learned the first stage) Atsureki nodded his head, the slightest hint of a smile playing at the edge of his mouth before disappearing once more. "Good, but your movements are still too rigid, you need to flow like water", Atsureki stated as he fell once more into the basic stance, "I'm going to strike at you, and you must deflect my attack and counter-attack with fluidly, otherwise I will simply strike you before you get your chance to counter." With that Atsureki snapped his hand forward, his middle and index finger making a bee-line for the joint connecting Rai's shoulder and torso. Though Atsureki was not utilizing his full speed, he was still moving quickly enough that Rai would have no time to think about what he was doing, he would have to hope that his muscles could react instinctively to the blow.

Rai Yasukazu Hyuuga Rai nodded his head to Atsureki Sensei's words. But sooner than Rai could say anything he had thrust at Rai. No normal ninja could have reacted this way. But Rai was fast, faster than normal ninja's his age, and he was a Hyuuga, and with that mentality set in his head he knew he could do it.
Rai quickly stepped toward the attack, swinging his left hand up, he turned his body while sweeping away his masters hand: although his left was his slower hand its what he needed to do in order to counter fast enough: his right hand had already been swinging around, swooping upward as he turned his body in the dodge, and came around begging to strike his master in the left side of his ribs. His hand pointed, with his index finger reaching out to slam into the side of his masters rib cage and land a blow, and earn respect from his master.

As Rai's hand came in to strike at Atsureki's ribs, Atsureki quickly spun to the left, bringing his right hand back in toward his body as he moved to Rai's right side. Then as he was coming around Atsureki lashed out with his left hand to strike Rai in between his third and fourth rib. With Rai's right hand already out-stretched to attack what would he do to avoid the blow, could he move with the fluidity of water, or would his sensei land a painful blow.

Rai Yasukazu Hyuuga Rai's eyes widened as he saw his master move so fluently, like it was nothing for him, as Rai struggles to keep up and to keep moving on instinct, hoping every movement would be fast enough.
Rai was thrown off balance as his right arm was simply tossed to the side like nothing. His masters hand came in under his own arm and Rai's. He couldn’t deflect in time. Rai'r right arm was pushed up towards him, so he used the momentum letting his body spin with it to the left avoiding contact with his masters hand. As he did this he ducked slightly spinning back around fast as he could thrusting out both hands for an all out power hit to his masters abs. Rai forced his fingers to point out as hard as he could to land smack dab in the middle of Atsureki's stomach, one hand aimed at his top most abs, and the other hand between the abs directly below.
This was the last thing he could do. If deflected he would easily fall for his foot placement was poor do to the spin. If it landed he momentum would halt and he'd have time to adjust his footing, but even if dodged, Rai would still be left very vulnerable. However, with Rai on the right side of Atsureki's right arm, Rai couldn’t imagine Someone moving fast enough, at this already hi speed fight, at such close range, to dodge or even block this. Then again.. Rai was dealing with a master of Juuken, one of the most dangerous Taijutsu's ever, and... was his master even using his Byakugan yet..? Or was he moving with such grace even without it. Rai would know soon enough after his masters next movements which he had but a split second to react to.

(good, second stage learned)
Atsureki smiled ever so slightly as Rai managed to avoid the blow, though the smile quickly disappeared and was replaced with his usual neutral expression. As Rai's hands shot towards Atsureki, he began to fall backwards into a roll, avoiding the blow and then rising to his feet in one fluid movement. Nodding his head in approval, Atsureki said calmly, "That is enough, now it is time to move on to the next lesson."
With that Atsureki walked over to what looked like a storage closet in the corner of the courtyard. Stepping inside for a moment, Atsureki then reappeared carrying what looked to be a perfect model of the average human body; not a simple head and torso training dummy one might find at a training ground, but a full size model with arms, legs, working joints, everything. Another interesting feature were the numerous tiny red dots that littered the dummy, seemingly at random. Once Atsureki made it back to Rai he set the dummy in front of him before folding his arms behind his back and casting a neutral stare at the young boy.
"This is a special dummy designed specifically to help you learn to strike with precision and speed. Each dot marks a pressure point on the human body. The dots will light up if they are struck with enough force, and with extreme precision. Your finger must fill the dot without touching the area of the dummy that surrounds the dot, or else it will not light up. With the proper form this can be a simple task, but the smallest mistake in your form can completely throw off your strike", Atsureki explained to Rai, his voice calm and clear. Taking a ready stance, Atsureki brought his hands up, ready to strike, then in a movement almost to fast follow, Atsureki struck one of the red dots around the neck, causing it to light up immediately. Taking a step back, Atsureki then motioned for Rai to try.
(4 good posts working on speed and precision)

Rai Yasukazu Hyuuga Rai almost fell forward as he missed his sensei. Rai was astonished, he hadn’t thought about rolling BACKWARDS to avoid a blow. But the muscle control his sensei had was unreal, far beyond his own.
Rai was still catching his breath when Atsureki got back carrying what looked like a full body dummy with chicken pox. "This is a special dummy .... throw off your strike"
Rai listened to him looking over the dummy well. The red dots SEEMED random enough. Rai stepped close after watching his master strike the dummy lighting up a small red dot. Rai pressed down on a dot with one finger but nothing happened. He wrinkled his forehead as he pressed harder on it with still nothing happening. ARE YOU KIDDING ME! Rai slammed his finger down as hard as he could onto the red dot on the dummies left shoulder only to see that only did the dot not light up, he also hurt his finger crying "Oooohhhhhhh OUH OUHG OUH OUH OUHHH!" Rai jumped around holding his finger then quickly sticking it into his mouth sucking on it. Ok..guess i have to be serious for this to work. Not only will i have to hit it harder than that, but i have to do it without touching anything except the red dot.. Precision.. Man, Sensei not only moved incredibly fast, he moved fast AND delivered immense pressure to the blow.. Jeez.. He really is awesome..
Rai got into the basic Juuken fighting stance placing his right hand and arm out in front of him and cocked his other arm to the side of him. He stretched out his right leg placing it in front as well while slight turning his left foot to the side like he had with his left hand. He was more balanced now than before. All the moving around with his sensei had giving his feet time and practice to adjust to the style. Rai swung his hand forward fast aiming for the dummies left shoulder, aiming for the easiest spot would be the best thing for now. No need to get fancy yet. But as Rai's hand connected with the dummy, only his forefinger touching the dummy, Rai realized he missed the red dot by about 3centemeters. stare Well that’s just not going to work.. perhaps i shouldn’t worry about applying enough pressure yet. I should try to just HIT the right spot first, then once i have precision down i can add in strength
Rai stepped back again readying himself, but before striking Rai smiled and stepped forward getting his fingers within inches of the dummies shoulder, and the red dot. Rai reached out pressing at the red dot. He retracted his hand and pressed forward again hitting the red dot. He did it again.. and again, and again. He hit it three times then retracted his hand farther away by an inch continuing the process moving his hand farther away every three strikes, hitting the same red dot, but getting farther and farther away.
After striking at the red dot until it can to the point where he could be at normal striking distance and still hit the dummy, Rai smiled quickly aiming for a different dot, hitting that one as well, from what he could tell, they still weren’t lighting up yet. Rai took a deep breath smiling again as he approached the dummy once more. He had down striking the red dot, so doing so with power at close range shouldn’t be a problem. Rai stood close and struck at the dummy fast hitting the red dot, but nothing happened. confused Guess i have to hit...HARDER! Rai struck at the dummy fast striking dead on the red dot hard causing it to illuminate beneath his fingers. smile Rai was happy, but what he did wasn’t all that impressive when he realized he was but only 3 inches away from the dummy. This was to learn power in his strikes, if he could concentrate on power and not accuracy because he's so close, and hit them hard enough to cause them to light up at this short distance, then that would teach him power. Power he could apply in a real fight at a normal fighting distance. Which is what he was about to do..
Rai stepped back into ready position at a good normal distance from the dummy. He quickly struck forward with his right hard hitting it hard against the dummies right shoulder nailing the red dot but not lighting it up. Rai stepped back Striking again, faster, hitting the red dot once more and lighting it up beneath his fingers. Rai was about to smile when instead he decided to finally put himself to the test..
Rai turned his back to the dummy so he couldn’t see it while standing in his Juuken pose. Quickly spinning around Rai looked to the dummies ribs eyeing a red dot, He aimed his fingers from his left hand as he spun around smashing it into the dummy, he definitely hit hard enough, but as his hand hit the dot, his fingers had come out of form and also touched outside of the dot. scream GGGAWWW!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!??? THATS AMATEUR STUFF! I'm working for power and precision and i messed up THAT??.... Rai turned back around taking a deep breath and calming himself as he muttered things under his breath. Spinning back around at the dummy again he strengthened his hand keeping himself in form as his hand then pointed out, fingers out, forefinger dabbing into the dummy hitting the red dot on its ribs lighting it up. Yes! I did it, speed, power, accuracy.
Rai fooled around a little bit starting himself off in different positions so he couldn’t see the dummy and spinning around to strike on instinct. Along with strengthening his precision and power, he was making himself have faster, and all around better reaction time. Making himself faster would be the key. He got power and precision down, now it was time to speed things up and work on moving faster. He danced around the dummy striking as fast as he could, nailing it, making the dummy light up like a Christmas tree. He actually got 3 lights to all be on at the same, once, time by striking fast enough to get another one lit before the first one turned off.
Sweating now from all the exercise Rai stopped to take a breather. He figured his Sensei would tell him to stop if he had trained properly. But this was tiring, Rai looked over to Atsureki for approval as Rai panted lightly, catching his breath with sweat dripping off the tips of his hair.

(well done, third stage of Juken learned)
Nodding his head in approval, Atsureki then turned his back on his pupil and said calmly, "You have done well, there is but one more thing I can teach you as you are now. But I warn you, it is very dangerous. If you feel that you are not ready to die, then you should leave now." Atsureki waited to see what his student's reaction would be. Would he brave the unknown peril that Atsureki spoke of, or would he leave now to become stronger before continuing.
