Wanted: Hyuuga teaching Gentle Fist. (P, IO, NK)

Approved

"Ok sounds like a plan, I think I could get the hang of that." He said as he watched Haru take up his stance, and strike at Goon. The first one caught him off guard, coming straight for his head. In his mind he didn't see how the intersection method would work on a strike that high. It wasn't until after his head was jerked back, that he realized how he could of done it on the strike. It hurt, but Goon had bigger things to worry about at the moment. As Haru's left hand cut through the air, going straight for his gut. Goon was quick about it the next time, by judging the strikes trajectory, and speed, he was able tell the perfect time to clamp down. After the hand made it to just about halfway, Goon would lift his right knee up, and drop his right down. Clamping down on Haru's forearm. Goon smiled as he felt the flesh on flesh, he was ecstatic, that he was able to actually do it. After he released Haru would most likely pull  his arm back and return to his stance, before he would send the next strike.

Goon was definatly ready for the next strike to come. He was breathing slowly, because for him it seemed to slow down time. Almost putting him in a slight trance, he was calm, waiting, he was peaceful, the perfect state of mind to him, anyways. Haru's right leg came flying at Goon, heading deeply upwards, towards his head it seemed, but the trajectory of the strike seemed to being for his neck. Seeing as Haru was going the same speed that he was before, Goon would have one less thing to judge this time. The leg was about halfway up his abdomen, before Goon would clamp down on the right using his both his left elbow and left leg. Goon was happy he had caught it in the technique, it seemed to be a very helpful technique to have. Especially for a close range fighter, such as himself, it would definitely come in handy. 

After Goon released the leg, and Haru returned to his stance. He readied himself for the next strike, Goon didn't know where it was gonna come, or where he was going send the strike. But he figured that Haru would use his left leg this time, for he had used his other three body parts already, and why leave the other out. Goon was putting too much thought into it, and it was bugging him, he was second guessing himself, and not following what his gut had told him. So he just attempted to clear his mind and breathe and wait for the strike to come. Standing there, waiting, ready, and calm, Goon watched Haru's loose movement, and saw his left leg twitch just a tad bit, and then sent it flying upwards towards Goon's upper body. The leg came flying at him and he was ready, judging the trajectory again, because the speed was the same, Goon figured out the perfect time to use the technique, where both his elbow and knee would meet the leg in the middle at a somewhat equal distance. The leg cut through the air heading straight for Goon's chest, he would clamp down on the leg with both his right elbow and knee, stopping the leg in its motion, leaving it stuck between the two limbs. 

Goon released it and Haru said he was gonna help Bar and told him to practice the motion more. "Alrighty, thank you for the help." He said, as Haru made his way over to Bar, and Goon looked around for something to practice the technique on. 

There wasn't really much that Goon could see to practice the technique on. That was until he found a mu ren zhuang, or a wooden man post, in the far right lower corner of the room, away from where he was standing. It seemed perfect, it was beautifully made, and seemed that whoever made it, or had it made added a few tweaks to it. Making it slightly different from what you usually see, there were three pegs, in two at the mid-body, and one connected to where the legs would be. The pegs were able to be spun all the way around the post, or locked into a set position either way it was all he needed.

Goon removed the lock on it and spun it a couple times, the pegs fell just underneath his chest. He played around and practiced the motion of the technique first to make sure he still had it in his mind. He took a step back, and kicked one of the two pegs near his chest, they spun violently, at an alright speed. They weren't going faster than what Haru had gone, but they were good enough for Goon. Watching them spin, he timed the pegs in his head as they made a couple full rotations, and before he knew it, he had the one on the right in his sights first. He waited for it to spin back around, and as soon as it was in the perfect spot, he clamped up on it. Sending his left knee straight up, as if he was going for a kick, and in the same motion he sent his left elbow down, on top of it. The wood seemed old, as when both his elbow and knee reached the peg, he heard a small cracking sound. As the pegs now remained motionless, and he release the clamp he had on it, he was able to a split going down the middle of the peg.

Goon smiled, he didn't realized his strength, along with the Intersection method, would cause the wood to start breaking. If I keep this up, this post won't be here for another person to use. Ah well, I'll either buy a new one or make one if I damage it too much. I gotta get this technique down. He thought to himself and prepare to continue practicing. He sent another kick to the pegs to get them to start spinning again. This time he'd focus on the peg to the left, and attempt to strike it as it passed by him. The pegs twirled pass him, he waited and as soon as the left peg was in range, Goon snapped down onto it, missing the peg by just a centimeter. He had given himself the craziest charlie horse, as both the bottom half of his right leg and right elbow, went numb and started throbbing. He also lost his balance, from missing his mark, and crashed into the post with his shoulder.

Goon fell to the ground, sort of laughing but also in pain at the same time. He laid on the ground, stretching both his arm and leg, until the feeling subsided, then he laid there for an extra moment, to collect himself. After a little while passed, Goon sprung up, and looked over at Bar who was practicing one of the hyuuga techniques. This made Goon more determined to get the technique down. He wasn't lucky enough to be born into a clan, and on top of that, he can't even remember anything before the age of five, and by then he was under the care of Ro Fūjin. So he was ready he kicked the pegs as hard as he could this time, sending them spinning like a dreidel.

He watched as the pegs went pass him, and he watched the left one especially, he was ready for it this time. He was gonna hit his mark this time, he wasn't gonna fail. The left one had just about passed him, this time he clamped up on it putting all the strength and speed he had into it. This timalso his right elbow and leg meet the peg, he felt it give away splintering into little pieces, and broke off a large portion of the peg itself. The excitement that came over Goon was unexplainable, unexpressable, but he would keep it in anyway, he didn't like showing emotion in the first place, it always seemed to hurt him in the end. But He did laugh as it happened, he was happy, to him it seemed he had the technique down well enough as too be able to use it in battle. As he looked over he saw that Bar was done also, and he said something that sounded like he wanted Goon to take him on again. Goon gave him a half cocked smile, and said calmly, "Alright. let's do this then." He said even if Goon didn't stand a chance against someone, no matter who the person was he always went with the same calm approach about it. Goon looked at Bar and took the same stance as before, "You wanna start it this time, or you gonna try to talk and push the start on me." Goon was joking he honestly didn't care how it would start, there was only two outcomes of it anyway, either Goon was gonna be on the ground, or Bar was gonna be. He leaned more towards the former than the latter, Bar was more skilled and proficient in taijutsu than Goon anyways.

Bar activated his Byakugan when Goon entered his Muy Thai stance. "Until I have learned control, I am focusing on defense. As part of that... I will answer your earlier question: My father used to be part of a four-man cell composed entirely of Hyuuga, they called themselves the Potato Gang. As for WHY a potato..." Bar rolled his eyes, but this was a feint. No matter where his eyes were directed, Goon was still within the area of his Byakugan, and could not easily move to his blind spot, but he was hoping that Goon's inexperience with fighting a Hyuuga would provoke him to attack when Bar was well ready to exploit Goon's aggressive style. If Goon didn't attack... "The potato is the only other thing in existence, which grows by sprouting roots from its eyes." Bar finished rolling his eyes, and gave Goon a 'I know, right?' glance, all of which made the veins around his eyes bulge and twitch.

(Again, skip me until you finish sparring)

Goon stood in his stance, waiting for Bar to finish answering his question from. He wouldn't attack as the whole potato gang thing, was of slight interest to him, it was something he had not heard of but the answer he got wasn't what he expected, but it made perfect sense. As Bar finished, Goon watched as the veins in his eyes bulged, and twitched, and he gave Bar a blank stare like you gotta be shitting me. Then he chuckled a little bit saying, "Makes sense, now I know what a potato gang is," he finished with a smile.

Goon was ready to begin the spar now, with all that said, he was anticipating what to do, he knew Bar would be able to counter a majority of his moves, no matter what happened, he had to catch him off guard. He figured a way it might work, loosening his left shoe so it would come off with a flick of his ankle or kick. He would then send his left leg heading for bar's right knee, at full speed and strength, but this was just a feint, and about halfway there, he'd flick his ankle upwards sending the shoe on his foot towards Bar's head, and then drop his foot back to the ground. He'd then follow with a right kick to bar's left thigh closer to his hip than his knee, at full speed and strength.

Bar wasn't fooled by the shoe-toss, as his vision easily allowed him to notice the foot-movements beforehand. So as the shoe sailed past Bar's head, Bar stepped into Goon's kick, and unleashed a Heavenly Rotation at close range, quickly expanding it from the just-under-two-meters diameter of his arms to the full four meters! As they were in the center of a mostly fifteen-feet-square room, Bar could have easily turned Goon into sashimi against a wall, but Bar stopped the technique before Goon suffered more than 0.5 Health damage, even including the knockback.

Bar seemed to not fall for the shoe, and erupted in to a huge sphere, but stopped it before Goon flew back from it or got seriously hurt. Testing's done time for the real deal, I need more fight experience against other ninjas anyways. He thought to himself, and smiled at Bar, "Good move, but we ain't done yet. Goon chuckled, collecting himself from the blow, and returning to his stance. He stepped towards Bar, even though he was in range of his byakugan, Goon didn't care, he had to figure out a way to beat a hyuuga in tai, or else all his training would be pointless, stepping closer and closer hoping Bar would attempt to take advantage of Goon not attempting to strike. So he could try his new technique out.

Ohshitohshitohshit! Most of Bar's tenketsu were still recovering from the technique, and sticking his arms out to do the Sixty-Four Palms would be playing right into the Intersection Method. Bar backpedaled, his arms in guard position, but they were so close to his chest that they were pretty much useless.

Bar resorted to his other combat strategy: Talking. "Nonono, that's ok, I wanna try something out. Master Haru, I lack the raw strength or calluses to do the Intersection Method normally. Is it feasible to substitute tenketsu chakra instead? Goon, why don't you hit me, gently, and I'll counter with the Intersection Method? You don't have to worry about me breaking your arm or leg, I'll just be hitting your tenketsu. Is that ok? Goon? Please?"

Goon smiled as Bar was now on the defensive, it seemed. As Goon moved closer, Bar Back peddled, and started to talk, a short look of panic came over his face. Goon smiled turned devilish, this is a spar  I haven't actually been able to hit him just yet, so should give him what he wants, or just go with the flow, he thought to himself, it only took less than a second for Goon to come up with his answer. He sent his left leg flying towards Bar's right thigh, just under the the ball and socket joint. His leg went at half the force it usually would go, he didn't really want to hurt Bar. He just wanted to go with the flow, "Ain't going as strong as I wanted to, but you better catch before it's too late." He said, this spar was just starting to get good.
