Training with Pops [P]

Makoto woke slowly from the bed, again it was extremely early just like he hated for it to be. He put on a t shirt along with his regular old ninja pants and sandals as he made his way to the back of the Hyuga compound. Makoto would enter the training facility to speak with his dad, as his dad had requested his parents from the night before for early this morning. “Hello Mak.” his dad would say as Makoto entered the room; his dad would arise from the pillow he was sitting on as he began to speak some more. “Today we will work on a couple techniques that are needed as well as strengthening your Byakugan.” Makoto would look up to his father as he nodded in agreement. He would then follow his father to the training grounds of the village. “Now Mak, I know your grandfather has taught you everything you know up to this point but now that you are a Chuunin , I need you to take into your Hyuga heritage and learn the most sacred techniques.” his father would say as his eyes would strain to activate his Byakugan. Makoto would follow his father and strain his eyes to activate his Byakugan. “Alright dad, im ready when you are.”

Makoto’s dad would look at his son as he had his Byakugan already activated as well. “The first move to learn is Palm Button, Mak. This is one of the basic moves that you will build off. You basically want to focus your chakra through your palm to neutralize your opponenets chakra flow. Be very precise with it. Remember you are expelling your chakra through tenketsus in your palm, just as a natural your fighting with your gentle fist. Be quick.” Mak’s dad would go over by the river where the small logs were located as he picked up a log, he would throw it up as he palm striked it as most people would have assume the log cracked in half due to the power but with the tenketsu it shattered into multiple pieces. Makoto would get up and walk over to the river right after his dad in attempt to do the same thing. He would grab a wood piece and throw it up as he striked it, not with extreme force but with precision as it would too shatter into millions of pieces. “Good Job son.”

Makoto’s dad would speak again as he knew it wouldn’t take long for his son to learn a lot of these moves seeing that his dad taught his son everything he knew, and you had to be a quick learner to learn from Mak’s grandfather. “Next thing we must learn is another basic move, Tenketsu Needle this is what is needed for you to do almost every move you learn after this as far as Hyuga goes. You want to do the same thing you did with your palm except you want to push chakra out from your fingertips onto a specific point on the targets body. This might take a couple minutes to get the hang of but once you get the hang of it, it will come naturally. “. Makoto’s dad would walk over to a body bag nearby used to throw kunai at as he would begin to hit the bag doing the move that Makoto would soon be doing as he struck it twice, once with each hand. Makoto would walk over after his father and proceed to the same thing. He hit the bag yes but Makotos father could tell it was not affective with his own byakugan. “Again.”

Makoto would breath as he began to hit the bag again with two more hits. “Again.” he would hear his father say as he began to hit the bag. His father would say it over and over as Makoto began to break a sweat due to it being extremely hot outside which was also making him a bit frustrated, but he continued to hit the bag. After a while he would take a break as he began to drink from the river in the training grounds as his father would stand there looking at him waiting on him to complete what was asked of him? Makoto would then get back to his feet and hone back into what seemed to be taking him all day but as his father said, these were the basics that he needed to learn to be successful in gentle fist and these where the moves that would cause internal damage. Makoto would begin to sweat again as he hit the bag repeatedly as his father still didn’t seem to be satisfied with his performance, this seemed to be harder than he thought it would be.

Makoto began to feel his fingertips throb as he continuously hit the body bag using the technique his father had just taught him. At this point he didn’t even need his father to tell him again as he began to keep striking it until his father just decided to tell him to stop. Makoto stopped and leaned over as the sweat dripped from him brow onto the ground as his father spoke up. “Makoto , you need to focus . Be precise, there is nothing to it. I promise you.” Makoto would sit up as he used the bottom of his t shirt to wipe the sweat away and began to focus in on the body bag again.

He stared at it for quite some time as he began to just let his body do its thing , he looked up at the body bag for what would be the last time and delivered 2 strong strikes to the bag as his father would proceed to tell him to stop. “Great Job now onto the next move.” Makoto was so tired he was beginning to think of ways to get out of his father’s extreme training.

“Alright.” Makoto’s dad would say as he looked at Mak. “We are going to take a short break from Clan techniques from now to learn a basically kick move that is very dynamic.” Makoto would look at him funny as he noticed he said dynamic very oddly. Makoto would nod his head at his father as he waited for him to show him the move, he would apparently learn that was so dynamic. Makoto’s father would turn his back to Makoto as he whipped around throwing a kunai at his son.  



Makoto’s dad wasn’t that strong and in all his years of life Makoto has never seen his dad throw a kunai much less use one at all as he was taught every fight can be fought with your hands. Makoto would slightly move his head as his eyes watched the kunai whiz past his fast with good spped just not fast enough to strike him but as soon as Makoto’s eyes returned to his dad, there it was. A foot right to his face with his dad screaming, “DYNAMIC ENTRYYYYYY!!!!”

Makoto found himself picking himself off the ground with a bit of blood running down his mouth. The good ole blood taste. “Im sure you know the name of that move now” His father would say with a chuckle. Makoto would spend his time getting up off the ground trying to rethink of what happen, his father just threw a kunai at him which was almost unheard of but not only that, he only used it as a distract to have enough time to land this dynamic entry move. Makoto would chuckle as he noticed the wind was blowing in his father’s direction as he would grab some dirt with him as he stood up.

With one swift move he would throw the dirt in the direction of his father creating a small cloud of dust, to the point to where he could just barely see his father. Makoto would then take a running start as he busted through the dirt with his foot angled towards his dad’s face. “DYNAMIC ENTRYYYY!!!”

Makoto’s dad would get up with a smirk as he looked at his son who seemed to have gain the skill of dynamic entry. “You know the other skills im looking for Makoto, I just wanted to get you up and ready to do it.” his father would say as he walked away wiping the blood onto his sleeve. Makoto was on his own for training at this point. Makoto would walk to the center of the field and begin to spin.



The key to performing the revolving heaven technique was in the spin or rotation it had to be timed just right so that when Makoto began to expend his chakra it would be an even spread the shell being formed of his chakra would need to be the same thickness in every direction for the jutsu to be effective at all. So Makoto began with his footwork his feet weaving and taking place and his body pivoting around the planted foot. This was complicated enough because of the uneven ground in the clearing but Makoto had practiced his spin many times over the course of the past few months. Makoto would run across the clearing at full speed and suddenly stop using the force of his run to propel himself into his spin this was a good exercise because if he had to move away from a target to get away he could sprint and start the rotation if needed in combat.

Makoto would begin to focus his chakra the next main step in his training for this jutsu was to expend his chakra from his palms letting it seep out of him so that when he was spinning it would flow around him forming a shell. Makoto would be practicing letting his chakra seep out of him by first Taking deep breaths and focusing his chakra flow into his hands letting his tenketsu network force the flow of his chakra to his palms. Next he would rotate his hands in front of him drawing small circles with his palms in the air while focusing on maintain his link to the chakra as it left his body. At the end of his hands while rotating them he would find small disks of chakra that would dissipate when he stopped the circling motion. This jutsu was known as one of the hardest to pull off within the Hyuga compound but if anyone was to learn it as young as Makoto, it would be Makoto.

For weeks now Makoto had been coming here to the forest and at the training grounds in the village to practice these techniques, spinning and forcing his chakra away out of his body he had developed these training techniques on his own. First by understanding what he needs to do in order to perform the eight trigrams revolving heaven and then breaking the full technique into smaller more practical movements after practicing the movements repeatedly Makoto began stack them together. Slowly building his way to trying the full technique. Makoto finished his rotations with his hand after he began to sit down due to fatigue.

Although these moves were just Taijutsu they were still extremely tiring for someone who was just now coming into his own as a Hyuga, but not only that but a Byakugan User as well as a Gentle Fist user, both proving to be very taxing. Makoto would run by the river to sip some water as he quickly was up again to quickly master this move.

Walking to the center of the clearing Makoto began to focus himself taking his stance with his right arm extended in front of him and his left arm extending in the same way to his rear. He had to not tense the muscles in his arms so that they could rotate freely when he began his spin. Stepping his right foot forward slightly Makoto also lowered his torso forward as well to help him maintain a balanced position when beginning the techniques. Focusing his chakra to his palms Makoto propelled his arms around him coiling his body tightly straining the muscles of his core to a tension only rivaled by that of a large spring. At the moment he felt he could no longer hold the stance he began to swing his arms together toward his right. Keeping his arms in line with each other he spun with all of his might and began to expel the chakra from his body directing through his palms. The result was the form of a half shell of purplish energy surrounding him in a spinning wall.

The wall extended outwards about two meters from his body and then Makoto released the spin stopping himself suddenly reMakotong the same stance he had taken before. Smiling Makoto looked around the at the circle that had been blown into the grass of the clearing around him. The circle was only a little misshapen in one spot which means that either the spin had faltered slightly or that he had not proportionally expelled his chakra in every direction. Regardless of the fact, that was more than enough for him.

It was time to train the best technique of all the land, the best that the Hyuga had to offer. Makoto’s dad had harped on it plenty of times. It was Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms. This was a jutsu that his dad used, his dad and his dad’s dad. Everyone in the main family knew of this jutsu so it was only right that Makoto learned it to become a true Hyuga

Makoto knew that chakra control needed to be maintained in order to perfect the gentle fist and more specifically the 64 Palms technique. Realizing this, he slightly broke stance. He shifted his torso so that it was facing forward and brought his hands above his head. He inhaled steadily as his hands were rising, then as he brought them down to meet them in the center of his chest, he exhaled that air and continued to breath at a constant, slow pace. His eyes closed and he began to concentrate his chakra. Once he felt focused enough, his hands became infused with chakra and it was his time to perform the technique.

He assumed the gentle fist stance once more and began,"Two Palms!" he exclaimed. Following this came two blows delivered to the same relative tenketsu which Makoto's father struck on his practice clone. "Four palms!" he copied his dad, striking in the same spot as his grandpa once did. He picked up his pace with the following four strikes upon the clone's abdomen, continuing to mirror the moves of His grandpa while simultaneously letting out a, "Eight palms!" Next came, "Eight palms!" as Makoto began to realize that his speed and chakra were increasing significantly. "Thirty-two palms!" cried Makoto, now understanding that both his speed and chakra were becoming difficult to maintain. "Focus Makoto, this is crunch time. Remember your chakra control training. Track your speed, you got this." he internally coached himself. In that split second between finishing the 32nd blow and beginning the 33rd, he breathed and reaffirmed his confidence in himself. "Sixty-four palms!" he yelled with confidence as he was now moving at a speed he had never moved at before. This was it, this was the famed Hyuga jutsu that was sacred to the clan.

He focused his chakra and speed and delivered blows upon the majority of the final tenketsu points, however his technique lacked the degree of experience that his grandpa had. His strikes were fierce, calculated but slightly sloppy. Nonetheless, he continued, executing each blow while maintaining speed beyond the limits he thought his body could push. The last blow was dealt as his body bag too exploded, sending hay projecting all around.

Breathing heavily and remaining in the gentle fist stance he held throughout the strike, he stood there in the position he dealt the final strike in. "Was that...was that it? Did I really do that..." he thought to himself in disbelief. He felt the massive amount of energy and chakra he just exerted and was focusing his breathing to retain his chakra control in case asked to perform the technique a second time. However Makoto had a slight smile upon his face, proud of the progress he just displayed and satisfied with his first attempt.

Makoto would look around at the aftermath of all his training as he had been there the whole day. It was dirty as well as himself. He had dirty on him, a couple stains of blood, plenty of sweat but luckily no tears. He was exhausted from his taijutsu work as it took a bigger toll on him than he thought it would. He would walk over to the river one last time, to drink and wash his muddy, bloody, sweaty face off. Makoto took his time as he got up and went back to the bag to perform the technique again as he only reached 32 palm, almost passing out from exhaustion. “I suppose that is enough for today.” Makoto would mutter as he began to head home and deactivate his Byakugan. It was almost shocking that he had kept it active all day without his eyes just giving up on him. Satisfied with his work, it would be a easy walk home.
