Keeping Fit [P,NK, Invite Only]

It was once again a misty sunday afternoon in the Skyscraper Village. Dante had woken up by the noise coming through the window into his room, causing such a vibe that some of the paper on the Uzumaki's desk fell off to the ground. The genin got up, made his bed, wore his clothes, and went to the side of his window, to perhaps be able to see where the noise was coming from, and perhaps even the reason of it, if there was a special reason to the noise ,n the first place. 

At first, Dante saw... Nothing. His eyes were blinded by the rays of the sun, shining brightle through an opening in the mist. "Son of a !!!" Dante shouted closing eyes as an instinct, pulling his head back into the room where his eyes would not have direct contact with the sun. A few seconds later, the Uzumaki was finally able to open his eyes once again, looking down to the street before him. The street that the door to Dante's house was... It was filled by many people. Not as much as when there was a party or some different kind of celebration or some other kind of event. But it was just a lot crowded than usual, a lot more than how Dante was accustomed to the street to be.

The people talking to each other, shouting gossips, their pets not staying silent either; many dogs barking, cats scratching metals or walls, making itching sounds. Don't get it wrong, Dante didn't hate animals or anything. In fact he was quite an animal lover. But being waken up by such noises could annoy an animal lover such as him. Anyway, he decided to leave the street until it was more silent. And the day was misty too, so it would have been a great day to train for him. Dante took his equipments, as well as his books, and left the house as soon as he could.

He made his way to a part of the village that was not as crowded, before heading to one of the towers to train.

It seemed to have been the most boring day ever at the Hyuuga tower. Nothing happened, no one wanted to spar, and Haru's latest build project was too expensive for him to continue building until they made more money on missions. His sister was sick, so everyone in the house seemed gloomier then usual. He couldn't stand it anymore, he needed to get out of the house. He made his way out the door, grabbing his gear and his new partner. 
Where are we going? asked the small Siberian Husky using their telepathy. 
Training. I can't stand it in there anymore. Answered Haru, opening the door. He closed the door quietly behind him and walked quickly to the elevator. A small yellow sign was visible on the doors of the elevator. Out of order. Seriously.
"Fuck." Cursed Haru. He turned on his heels and opened the widow, looking down. That wasn't too far. He scooped up Timber in one arm.
"Hold on tight." Said Haru, stepping onto the windowsill.
Wait, What? No! Haru, don't-! Began Timber as Haru slid down the side of the building. He slowly rose to his feet, running down the building, one arm around his dog, and the other pumping back and forth franticly as he sprinted down the side of the building. He pushed off as he neared the end, somersaulting in the air as he reached the ground, landing cleanly on his feet, and taking a few stutter steps forward to slow himself. 
"Why did I ever use the elevator?" He said aloud. 
Never... Do that... Again... Said Timber angrily, hopping out of his arms. Haru pointed to the training towers in the distance. 
"Let's go, the streets are too crowded." Said Haru, starting to walk. Timber chased after him, as they made their way to the towers. 

Are we there yet? Complained Timber.
Yeah, it's right over there Thought Haru, pointing to the building. Then he saw a familiar face. Dante Uzumaki, making his way to the training towers. 
Who's that? Asked Timber curiously, looking in the direction Haru was looking. 
One of my teammates. Replied Haru, walking towards him. 
"Hey, Dante!" He would say, waving at him. "You here to train, too? Would you be up for a little spar? He asked, waiting for a response.

(Wc: 385)

"Hey, Dante! You here to train, too? Would you be up for a little spar?". A smile would appear on Dante's face when he turned to the voice to see the Hyuuga member of Tenga Team 1. "Ahhhh." he said, with a tone showing bot he was suprise and glad to see Haru, "What a nice suprise.". WHile he was saying that he would have bowed down for a short time, still keeping his smile. After he had once again straightened up, he would have continued his speech, "And yes. I am here to train. And judging by your choice of words, you are here for the same purpose, am I wrong ?". He would then see Husky. Dante was an animal lover. That was the first time that day that Dante saw an animal that didn't bother him. 

Dante would walk towards the husky, crouch, and put his hand somewhere in front of his chest and let the dog sniff his fingers, if he (or she) wanted to. Dante would speak to Haru in the meantime "Who is this guy ? Or is she a girl ?".

Timber would gingerly sniff Dante's hand.
He seems ok... He barked to Haru, who nodded at him. 
Of course he is. Thought Haru, listening to Dante speak. He was here to train, alright. 
"Oh, this is Timber. And yeah, he's a boy." Said Haru. "My new partner. He used to just be my house pet, but recently he decided he wanted to be a Ninken." He explained. "And yeah, we were here to train, since timber's not all that tough yet. Do you want to train together, then? We haven't really gotten the chance to see each other fight." He said. So far, they'd only had cause to fight on one occasion, and that was almost child's play, since the marauders that attacked their tower had practically no training. Haru would hold open the door to the training towers. 
"After you." He would say, as Timber dashed through the door quickly.

"Timber ? A nice name. Also, "decided" to be Ninken ?" Dante would repeat curiously, "I haven't heard other house pets deciding to be a ninken. That sounds interesting. And how did you figure it out anyway ? If he was a cat, I assume he would bring a body of a dead missing nin instead of a dead bird, but I can not relate that to a Ninken.". He would smile. "No we haven't." he would say as an answer to Haru saying that they haven't seen each other fighting, "But I'm a rookie for now. I do not know any fighting style, nor do I know any handy jutsu. Oh, of course, except this one.". 

He would then use his chakra to create 2 thin chakra chains with kunai-sized hooks in the end, shaped as grey kunai. The kunai will then turn around Dante, while the boy smiled, closing his eyes. He would then enter the training towers. He knew the boy must have been much more experienced than himself. "I want to see your speed... Well, if it's possible.". He would have given that smile again, the friendly, warm smile he gave by closing eyes when he was around friends. "I'll race you to the top !" he would shout, as he would start running into the tower, than running through the stairs. "Are you two coming Tiber, Haru ?" he would have shouted if the two haven't done so already, and if only one of them did, Dante would say the same thing, but only using the name of the one who did not come.

"Oh, umm... I can kinda... talk to him. It's a technique I developed over the years of owning him." He explained, 

"Hey... I've seen that technique before." He would say, as Dante shot the chains out. "Thats the Uzumaki bloodline! I've seen the Tenkage use them." He said. He would listen as Dante challenged him to a race, charging inside the tower, and running up the stairs. He would hear as Dante asked if they were coming. 

"Oh yeah, we're coming..." He said, watching him climb further and further up the stairs. He turned to look a timber, who gave off a low whine.

Can't we just take the stairs? He yipped. Haru shook his head, pointing up. Without delaying any more, he scooped up timber in one arm and dashed up the side of the building at full speed, reaching the top of the building in the blink of an eye. He hurled himself far past the edge of the roof, landing near the door to the top. He set Timber down, leaning against the wall and slowly sliding down it, until he was sitting. He would sit there, waiting for Dante to reach the top, patting Timber's head. He used the Byakugan to watch his ascent to the top of the building.

Do you ever use the stairs? Asked Timber. Haru chuckled. 

"But stairs are so boring!" He complained.

"Thats the Uzumaki bloodline! I've seen the Tenkage use them.". The words echoed in Dante's mind. He looked back to see that Haru was missing. Then he heard the footsteps coming from the walls. "He is using the Tree Climbing Technique ? That's... Actually I didn't mention rules... God damn it !". He then ran through the stairs with his whole speed, but that wasn't much anyway. "The Tenkage..." he thought once again, when he took the final step. "Is he also an Uzumaki then ?". More than likely, when Dante reached the top of the tower, the other Genin, Haru, would have already been there. 

"You are fast, even though you took the shortcut. I could tell it by how fast the sound of the footsteps disappeared for me down there. Now, I know I won't be a match for you under any circumstances, so I will understand it if you want to train seperately. Otherwise, I would like to see what your way of fighting is, or your Jutsu and bloodline - if your clan had one that you could show me without killing me though.". He once again smiled at the boy.

Haru would grin as Dante reached the top of the stairs. 
"I would have raced you up the stairs, too, if that's what you wanted." He said, standing up. He would listen to Dante speak, requesting to see his bloodline. "We can train together. I'll try my best to resist the urge to kill you in cold blood." He would say sarcastically. "I'm a Hyuuga, we're Taijutsu fighters primarily, because of the byakugan, which lets us see the enemy's tenketsu: their chakra points." He explained as he took a few steps away from Dante. "Truth be told... I don't really know many jutsu past the academy basics. Just gentle fist, mostly."He would say. He didn't mention the fury of the storm technique, because honestly, he thought that technique could kill their Sensei, let alone Dante. He would take up the gentle fist fighting stance, jabbing his fists at the air, which glowed blue. "I can show you that part of our bloodline, too, but not without using it in a fight." He'd say, waiting for a response. If dante attacked, he'd go easy on him, just like Shinji Uzumaki had for him when they'd first trained together. 
What about me? Yipped Timber. 
Sit out for now. Thought Haru.

The Uzumaki would have released the onyle chain he had created. "The Byakugan, yes." Dante said, "I have heard of it too. So I guess I will not stall you and start fighting already. Give me a sec first though.". He would take his notebook, pen and old book out, and leave them on the ground. "Now, let's start." he would then say, jumping over to the boy, aiming a punch to his face, which he knew that had no chance of hitting. He just wanted to enter close range to the boy, even though the boy was a Taijutsu specialist. He wanted to take risks, because he knew that the boy was too fast to get hit by the chakra chains in long range.

Haru wouldn't duck the punch, but he would turn his head so that the strike hit his chin instead of his face. He was all for letting Dante get a couple of hits in, but he wasn't in the mood for a bloody nose. After taking the punch, Haru would direct his chakra to his palms, which began to glow with a faint blue tinge. He would begin the first section of the Eight Trigrams, Sixty four palms, thrusting both of his hands forward, into Dante's chest, before pulling both of them back and striking his left bicep and wrist. He figured that was enough for now, he didn't want to paralyze the boy, he just wanted to give him a taste of the gentle fist, so he would cut off the technique, as his hands lost their tinge and returned to normal. He would strafe backwards, awe from Dante, to let the boy recover some of the blocked chakra.
"Not bad, that was a good punch." He would say, keeping up his fighting stance, ready if Dante made another attack. "But you've got to be a little more careful when you're fighting someone with the gentle fist. I could have paralyzed you right there, and ended the fight early. I won't use it anymore, but it's just a warning for next time." He would advise. He felt a little cocky giving advice like this to Dante, but he was only trying to help. He really wanted to see the Uzumaki blood line in combat, since he'd only seen it in action for a fraction of a second when sparring with the Tenkage, but he figured he'd have plenty of time for that another day; They'd have a lot of time to train, since they were on the same ninja team. He would gesture for Dante to continue the fight, as he took a few steps closer to meet him.
