another day of training

Cole figured that she didn't really have any good jutsu, and that she would kinda be afraid at first to fight someone she knew was stronger. "Its like this in a spar the aim is not to really hurt each other though it does happen from time to time" he would looking to make sure she understood what he was saying. "but they best way to learn is to just jump into plus being able to jump into a fight to save some one or the village even, even though you know you can't win is what it means to be a ninja" cole would tell her, but when he looked at her he could tell that she wasn't ready for that.

"here i have a plan for what i can help you with" cole would tell her while reaching into his back pack. He pulled out two pieces of white paper. "my dad gave me these a while back. If you focus your chakra into them they will tell you what element you chakra naturally flows to. I'm not going to go into the hole wheel of chakra i'm sure you have covered that in class, but here ill show you what happens when i do it" cole would tell her while handing her the other piece of paper.

Cole would focus on the paper pouring his chakra into and as he did the paper got damp. "see this is what happens when you have water chakra. If i had fire it would burn and turn to ash, wind its cuts it into, lighting wrinkles it, and earth it crumbles" cole would tell her. His plan was to find out what element she had. If she had water that would be great but if not then he could at least help her learn how to use her element, and maybe though that she could figure out one of the basic jutsu. He thought as he waited to see what she would do.

It was reassuring to Hikari what Cole was saying. He understands that I may not be great to this spar and fighting stuff. At least he is nice about it! He seems to be a very helpful ninja too, going through all this trouble just for me...kind of makes me feel bad now that I think about it....No! He is just being kind, how could you feel bad about that!? Gosh Hikari! She stopped her thoughts with herself to reply to Cole, who had just stopped talking. 

Well she was going to reply to him, but right as she opened her mouth to speak he started talking again. She was fascinated to hear about these pieces of paper. They looked like normal paper, but then his got damp from his chakra. She decided to ask anyways, "Cole, is this just normal paper? Or is it somehow special?"

 Then when he said they would be finding out what her element was, she became curious and excited. What element will I be getting? I've never thought about it before... She looked down at the paper in her hand and focused her chakra into it. Instantly the paper burst into flames, scaring Hikari, who dropped it out of surprise. It floated to ground, burning away until what remained of the white paper was black ash lying on the grass. 

"So...it looks like my element is fire, huh Cole?" She asked as she looked up at him, not sure how much help a water element person could help her, a fire one. 

[WC: 1,539]

Hikari would take the paper from cole, and watch him watch as he pushed his chakra into the paper making it wet. He could tell that she was excited to find out what element she had, as she gave it a try when she started to focus her chakra into the paper it burst into flames. Hikari got a bit startled and dropped the paper on the ground as it turned to ash, so she fire type cole would think to himself, as she would say the same.

This wouldn't be the easiest thing but he could still help her. The process was the same either way it was just which element went into it and how it was performed. They only fire element jutsu Cole really had any idea about was the fire ball jutsu. He had seen some guys working on it while he was training. He figured that it was one of the starter fire type jutsu, and would be perfect here.

"Ok so you are a fire type. How about i help you learn the fire ball jutsu" cole would ask the girl? If she was up for it he would go into more detail about how the jutsu was performed. From what he could tell it was similar to the water gun jutsu, and would try to teach her as such. They biggist diffrence is that the water gun jutsu was a straight beam while the fire ball jutsu was a ball.

"When you go to do the fire ball jutsu you need to focus you chakra in your stomach, and then release it through you mouth and focus it into a ball" Cole would tell her while waving a hand through his hair. "O yea i should probably show you the hand signs for the jutsu" he would add. He would then make the hand signs while thinking back on when he saw they others learning it.

Cole would give a demonstration on how to use chakra element. After she had the hand signs downs. "Here ill show you one of my jutsu using my water element. if you want use you byakugan to watch. That way you can get a better idea of how it works. Just remember that were mine will use water yours will use fire" cole would tell her. He would then start to make a few hand signs, and focusing his chakra into the earth turning the water their from the creek into a sharp blade. he then focused his chakra even harder trying to do better then the last time. He then released the jutsu, as it shot up from the earth in the form of a blade of water cutting through the earth as it ran across the field. He made sure that he shot it in a way that no one would get hit by it.

"That was the jutsu ive been working on myself. Its a A rank jutsu called the water slicer jutsu its pretty hard to get the feel for it, but its super powerful when you do. Now you try doing the fire style jutsu and see what you get out of it and ill help you figure it out" cole would tell Hikari, as he caught his breath. That jutsu still took a lot out of him he was having to use to much chakra to pull it off and it still wasn't strong enough.

Hikari was curious as to how a water type specialist could teach a fire type specialist, she guessed she would just have to wait and see. So, I have to focus my chakra into my stomach and then release it through my mouth, focusing it into a ball. I think I can do that, it'll take a lot of practicing but I think the idea of it in general is simple enough. A ball of fire, I think I can do that!


She watched intently as Cole showed her the proper hand signs for the jutsu. The horse then the tiger. Hikari then focused her chakra to her eyes, activating her Byakugan. She would then watch as Cole demonstrated his jutsu, making sure to keep an eye on his chakra. She watched how he focused it and created a blade from the water under the earth. 

"Woah, that is an A rank jutsu? You are really amazing!" Hikari was amazed to see that he was capable of learning and, what it seemed to her, mastering an A rank jutsu. He is very impressive. I never knew he could do that! I guess looks can be deceiving! 


Hikari knew it was her turn to try this new jutsu. She closed her eyes, focusing on everything she just learned about this jutsu. Focus, you need to concentrate your chakra into your stomach and then release  it, forming a ball of fire that can hit your target. She opened her eyes, ready to test her abilities.

She focused her chakra into her stomach, the chakra swirling around and mixing within her. Hikari took a deep breath and then released the built up chakra, trying to focus it into a ball of fire. Instead of a ball of fire, Hikari shot off a little stream of fire that didn't go very far. The complete opposite of what she was supposed to do.

Hikari tried again, this time focusing more chakra into her stomach while keeping the idea of fire in her mind. She took a deep breath, focusing the chakra inside of her outward. She concentrated on making her chakra form a ball of burning flames. The chakra burst into flames as it left her mouth, but it showed the same result as before: a stream of fire that had a very short range.

[TW: 1,929]

"not bad at all for the first time" cole would tell Hikari trying to give her confidence that she could do this. "I think you are having the same problem i am with my jutsu. you see i haven't mastered this jutsu yet. I've been trying for a while now, but it seams the more chakra i put into it don't really do anything but tire me out more it don't get no stronger. It should be like five times as strong as that one i just did" he would tell Hikari as he ran his hand through his hair. He still didn't know why but it helped him think to feel his hand move through his hair.

"but i think i have a solution to the problem after watching you do the fireball jutsu. i think its down to the control of the chakra. You see some jutsu like the water slicer jutsu i did requires a lot of chakra, but if you put to much into then it's about as effective as not putting enough" cole would tell her as he took a step over to the side were he would be to the right of were he did the jutsu the first.

"use your byakugan again and watch me closely i think i got it this time, but theirs only one way to find out for sure" cole would tell her with a quick laugh. Before he started to make the hand signs once again for the water slicer jutsu. focusing his chakra into the ground to turn the water into a blade, but trying to not use to much chakra while using enough to form the blade of water. He would release the jutsu and this time it the blade would rise up out of the ground. Cutting through the ground like butter sending chunks of rock flying into the air.

"finally i got it" cole would say in celebration. "You must be my good luck charm" he would add with a laugh while putting his hand on the back of his head and kinda looking into the sky, but then he would remember what he was doing and get back to helping Hikari.

"did you see what how i did that with water chakra. You might not have been using enough chakra to pull off the jutsu or you could have been using way to much chakra which was my case. Now i think you should try it again and i believe you might be able to nail this thing this time" he would say while taking a step back, so that Hikari could take her turn trying the her jutsu.

(was curious about mine lol total WC-2,531)

Hearing the encouraging words Cole said made Hikari feel better about not being able to get the jutsu mastered in her first few attempts. She knew it would be harder to train this jutsu since it was a higher rank, so she expected some failure to happen. She was surprised to hear that Cole was also having trouble with the jutsu he just showed her, one she thought he had already mastered. So I am not the only one having troubles then. It seems he knows what we are doing wrong. It could be what I am always having trouble with the first time I do a jutsu; too much chakra being added. It happened with my Byakugan activation training with Mitsui. I'll need to keep these experiences in mind whenever I train a new jutsu and I keep messing it up.

Hikari agreed with what Cole said. "Yes I know what you mean. When I was training to activate my Byakugan I added too much chakra and couldn't see the chakra correctly. It was only after I lessened the chakra that I could activate my Byakugan." Hikari knew that her and Cole had figured out their problems to their jutsu failures. Now to be sure, Hikari did as Cole said and activated her Byakugan, veins appearing in the corner of each eye. As she watched Cole do his jutsu, her eyes could see that this time was different. He put less chakra into the jutsu, and because of that he was able to succeed.

"Congratulations Cole!" She cheered excitedly, happy he was able to finally master his jutsu. "Hehe, maybe we just make such a great pair of training partners. Now be prepared to cheer for me because it's my turn to master my jutsu!" She was determined now more than ever to get this jutsu done. Having Cole master his jutsu pumped her up to master hers.

Ready and with her mind set to master this jutsu, Hikari got ready. She closed her eyes and focused her chakra into her stomach. Then she did the horse and tiger hand signs, releasing the chakra in a burning stream, through a cupped hand near her mouth, that she concentrated into a burning ball. The result of her concentration was a real ball of fire, or better known as a fireball, that was shot into the distance, hitting a rock that was a couple meters away, charring the rock with black. Hikari was in shock at how powerful that jutsu could be, and that she had just mastered it within a day thanks to a very nice shinobi.

"I-I did it Cole! I just had to use less chakra, and I did it! Thank you so much for helping me! I never expected to learn an awesome jutsu like that, and it was all thanks to you!" She was so happy that she could hug Cole. Of course she didn't because they didn't know each other too well, but if they had she would have hugged him. "So, what are your plans now? Going to call it a day and go home or continue training?" She wouldn't mind training some more, she was just curious as to what he was planning on doing since he mastered the jutsu he had been working on.

[TW: 2,481] [Great Fireball Jutsu mastered! ^^]

Cole would step back let Hikari step up and launch her jutsu. She did he thought he could tell by the way she was standing and the formation that she used the jutsu. He watched as she focused her chakra and released it into a ball that hit a rock blacking it a few meters away. She got excited when she did it and cole couldn't blame her either. She would then ask him what he was going to do now that they have mastered their jutsu.

"I was planning on taking a breaking and eating over here by this tree if you want to join me i have two rice balls. I don't know what i'm going to do for the rest of the day, but you cold join me if you want ill give you one of the rice balls" cole would tell her, as he turns and walks over to the tree. He pulls his backpack off and sits down pulling out the two rice balls he had in it. If Hikari joined him he would offer her the other rice ball, and start with a little small talk.

"So tell me what its like to be a hyuuga, and have the byakugan. It seams like it would be so cool to have the byakugan" Cole would say in order to make small talk. Plus he really was curies about it.

(total WC-2765 and water slicer jutsu)

Hikari thought it was very gentlemanly of Cole to offer her one of his rice balls. She sat down next to him under the tree, not having noticed that it was close to lunchtime. We must have been training for a while then. But it was so worth it. She thought to herself, turning to make eye contact with Cole. 


"Thank you for the rice ball, and thank you again for helping me train and learn a new jutsu!" She was very thankful for his training, and the training of the other great ninja. She was happy she had been able to meet such great people, she needed them in her life. Hikari almost laughed at Cole's question, not because it was funny but because she had never heard someone ask that, or be so curious.

"Well, it is pretty cool being able to see people's chakra networks and objects around me. I love being a Hyuuga, everyone is nice and friendly towards me. It makes me happy. What about you? What is it like to be a Yuki and have your ice abilities?" She was also curious about his own bloodline, having never heard of the Yuki clan until their meeting.


[I don't know if I still need this but TW: 2,683]

"being a yuki is alright im sure it will be better when i can actually use my ice element. My father can and he is really powerful, and they say that i'm going to be stronger then he is. With how much i have allready learned and mastered was more then he did at my age, but i'm not sure about it" cole would say as he took a bite out of his rice ball.

"but look your going to be a genin like me soon probably so the next time we meet it will be as equals, and we can help each other out, and maybe we can spar next time if your feeling up to it. That way we can see just how strong you have become. Plus ive never fought against someone with the byakugan before. It would be good practice" Cole would tell her as he finished his rice ball.

"but i think im going to head on back home and get some rest. Come find me when you become a genin and we can train again" cole would say he got up and turned to leave lifting his hand in the air waving bye as he walked away.

He would think about the next time he meet her, and that as fast as she got the hang of the fireball jutsu. She might be able to beat him in a fight. He then thought that maybe he shouldn't have offered fight with her as he walked on out of sight.

(TWC-3026 claiming 15 stats and Water Slicer Jutsu)

Hikari listened to Cole, fascinated with learning about the Yuki clan and the things thy are capable of. They sounded strong, definitely some of the Leaf's strongest shinobi. Hikari wanted to reassure Cole when he said that he wasn't sure he was stronger, or would be stronger, than his father. "Cole I agree with your family. I know I haven't met them or your father, but I strongly believe you will become a great  shinobi, one that is stronger than his predecessors. I mean look at yourself! You just mastered an A rank jutsu as a Genin! You have to be strong to be able to do that!" She had hoped her little speech would help cheer him up and motivate him.

What Cole said next was highly true, and she agreed with him one hundred percent. "The next time we meet, I'll be a Genin. Hopefully I'll even have more jutsu. Maybe I'll even be a formidable foe, someday. I've never fought against a water or ice user before, so that would be great practice for me too!" She was getting excited for their future plans as shinobi, as equals instead of teacher and student. 

Hikari also got up, deciding she too should take a break and rest at home. Maybe she would watch her clan members spar or read a new book or maybe she would practice her singing in the garden. She had a lot of things she could do that didn't require her to tire herself out. "That sounds like an excellent plan Cole! I may just do that as well!"

She watched as Cole left, yelling out a "Bye! Until next time Cole Yuki!" As she waved, even if his back was turned to her. She could not wait for their next meeting. They would both be stronger and able to hold their own in battle. They would both be ninja from the Village Hidden in the Leaves, Konohagakure. With that idea in mind, Hikari went her own way home, nomming on the rest of her rice ball. Back to her life in the Hyuuga district.
