Times running out (P,Renji, NK)

Today was a calm windy day, and Shigeki was once again partaking in one of his least favorite activities... School. He would be reminded by his instructor that in just a few days his genin exam was approaching. He decides after school he would run home get some food for his long training on the Justus needed for him to pass his exam. After grabbing his things he's rushed to the training ground, there he would spend a vast amount of time working and failing on his juts atempts. He would become discouraged and decide to sit by a nearby tree and eat his lunch.

Renji began his day like he did most days. Jumping out of his bed quickly eating and heading out to either train on his jutsu and skills or run missions. With no missions on the agenda for today, Renji would rush over to the training grounds to get in sum work on his ninjutsu, hoping to strengthen his skills.

It is around mid day when Renji shows up at the training grounds, looking around he would see that it was rather empty except a few elder shinobi working on high level jutsu off in the distance. Not wanting to get in their way, renji decides to stay kind of close to the entrance to the training grounds.

Reaching into his pocket Renji would pull out the scroll for the lighting rat violent quake jutsu and quickly reads it and returns it to his pocket. Renji would then begin to work on this jutsu for the next few hours although he would have little success with the technique.

At this point Renji is completely frustrated with his little success so far.  He decides to take a break from training knowing that the academy students usually flocked to the training grounds around this time anyway.

Walking over towards a tree not to far from the entrance Renji would jump high up into it. He then would lay down on a branch that was covered by many leaves so that no one would know he was there.

Renji would activate his byakugan before closing his eyes so that he would not be taken by surprise.

Laying high in the tree Renji would see as a kid around his age comes through the entrance to the training grounds and begins to work on jutsu. Renji would begin to feel a bit bad for the kid seeing him fail at whatever he was trying to do, Renji was not to sure what jutsu the kid was working on.

Through his byakugan renji would see as the kid walks over towards his tree and sits almost directly under him. Smelling the kids food Renji realizes that he was not going to get any rest with such good smelling food sitting under him so he decides to help the kid in exchange for some food.

Sitting up Renji would push off his branch and jumps down landing at the ground a few feet away from where the kid was sitting.

With his back facing the kid but still focusing on the kid through his byakugan 360 vision. “say kid, what was it you were trying to accomplish just now?” Renji would say as he deactivates his byakugan and turns to face the kid. With a big smile on his face Renji would say “hey if you give me half your food, I’ll help you with ya jutsu” finishing his comment with a wink and a thumbs up.

Shigeki sitting  down staring around at the vast amount of land in the training ground. Eating his food he would reminese about times in the past him and his family would eat the same type of meals before his father's mossions. At that moment a mysterious shinobi hyuga judging by the symbol on his back would jump down and startle Shigeki. Listening to the mysterious shinobis proposition he would quicomg agree handing him the rest of his food and saying " My name is Shigeki Shiotani and who are you calling kid kid". While the mysterious shinobi was eating Shigeki would notice his headband and knowing he has taken the exam before he would then explain. He is trying to learn the clone and substitution Justus. Shigeki would then walk out to the training grounds  begin to stretch and wait for the mysterious shinobi.

Having not eaten since dinner last night, Renji would quickly take the food from the boy. And begins to eat while he listens to the boy introduce himself. Renji would note that the boys name was Shigeki.

While still eating the food, Renji would see as Shigeki walks out into the field and begins to stretch. ‘I guess I mine as well get this out the way.’ Renji would think to himself as he starts to walk over towards Shigeki, Renji still eating the food as he is walking.

Once Renji was a few feet away from Shigeki he would swallow the food in is mouth before beginning to speak. “let’s start with the transformation jutsu. The transformation Jutsu is not to hard, for your test it’s probably best to transform into somebody that you know well. Just create a mental image of them in your head making sure to get every single detail right, and once you do that just vitalize your chakra and make the hand seals and you got it. ” Renji would demonstrate the hand seals Required to do the transformation jutsu as he explains.

“so lets see if you got it,  then we will move on to the clone jutsu.” Renji would say with a smile as he goes back to eating the food while he waits to see what Shegeki would do.

Shigeki would continue to stretch and wait as the mysterious shinobi begins to approach. Shigeki now listening to the shinobi still unaware of his name but continuing to listen to him. The shinobi would tell him he needs to think about someone he is close to as this might take away a little bit of the strain from the jutsu, seeing as SHigekis rank is so low the shinobi mentions that with this jutsu there's a high mental strain, so really clear your mind and focus. Shigeki would then witness the shinobi preform the hand signs neccesary to preform the jutsu Dog → Boar → Ram  also noting the hand signs down. As he would need to remember and practice more for the exam. 

Once the shinobi finished showing Shigeki  the signs he would begin eating. At this time Shigeki unaware who the shinobi is kindly ask "What's your name and what are you inspiring to be". After Shigeki would begin his training thinking back to what the shinobi says. Shigeki would whisper to himself "familiar so that can only be my mom or my father hmm tough decision to make". After long deliberation it was finally time for him to attempt the transformation jutsu. It's very quiet I'm in the area, Shigeki readys himself centering his body and bending his knees he then preforms the hand signals. Dog → Boar → Ram and poof!!! To his disbelief Shigeki looks down at his clothes and realizes he actually succeeded the shinobis technique worked Shigeki now standing 6,4, 235 pounds, dark skin, long coarse black hair and his father's clothes which he wore before his last mission Shigeki would ever see him in. Shigeki conflicted on emotions is sad because he misses his dad but he doesn't let that be seen he instead shows his happiness towards the shinobi saying" This was harder then I expected I should have kept my food". Shigeki would then take a seat in the middle of the training ground as he would be pretty tired from that Justus and need a few mins rest. Waiting for the shinobi to move on to the clone jutsu Jutsu  and to introduce himself.

Having not eaten all day, Renji would be to consumed in the food in front of him to hear Sheigeki and does not respond to Shigeki’s question about his name and inspiration. Instead Renji just continues to eat his food as he watches the academy student begin to work at preforming the transformation jutsu.

“I wonder if he will get it on his first try?” Renji would think to himself while he waits for Shigeki to preform the jutsu. Once Shigeki had completed his transformation, Renji would look on with a smile as he sees a 6 foot 4 inch tall dark skin man he had never seen before, appear from the smoke in the place where Shegeki had been standing previously.

Seeing the happiness on the man’s face and hearing Shigeki’s comment about it being harder than he had thought, would remind Renji of the jutsu he was working on earlier. Seeing how Shegeki was able to over come his difficulties and preform the transformation jutsu, Renji would become inspired to keep working hard on his own jutsu.

Renji would be just finishing up the food as Shegeki takes a seat, looking to be exhausted. Looking over at Shegeki, Renji would say “yea it’s hard at first, but eventually it will become second nature, or so I’m told haha, I just graduated not to long ago myself and I still have difficulties from time to time. But with practice we will both be ok. Oh yea my names Renji, Renji Hyuga!.” Renji would turn and point to the Hyuga symbol on the back of his jacket as he introduces himself.

Seeing that Shigeki was tired and needed to rest, Renji would continue speaking, allowing the academy student some time to catch his breath before moving on. “you asked what I aspire to be? I don’t have no big dreams of becoming Raikage or anything like that. I just want to become as strong as possible so I can protect my comrades, and I want to explore and see the world and all it has to offer. What about you?” Renji would say as he waits for Shigeki to catch his breath and or answer the question.

Once Shegeki was ready, Renji would continue “Next up is the clone jutsu. When you are doing this jutsu I find it best to picture staring at yourself in a mirror, getting every detail of yourself should be easier than the transformation jutsu.  Once you create the mirror image, picture the walls of the mirror then the glass disappearing and then you make the hand seal and wala standing next to you should hopefully be a clone of yourself. got any questions?” Renji would again show the hand seals for this jutsu as his is describing the jutsu.  “oh yea it will be a heck of a lot easier to perform the clone jutsu if you deactivate the transformation jutsu first.” Renji would say in a joking tone as he notes that Shigeki still looked like an older taller man.

Renji would wait a moment to see if Shigeki had got everything that he had just said. If he had no questions, Renji would walk over towards the tree from earlier.

as Shigeki began working on the clone jutsu, Renji would take a seat and pulls back out the jutsu scroll for the lighting rat violent quake and begins to read over it while he waits for Shigeki to preform the clone jutsu.

Sitting there reading from his scroll, Renji would activate his byakugan so that he could keep an eye on Shigeki’s progress with the clone jutsu while he reads. Renji would activate his byakugan just in time to see Shigeki close his eyes and begin working at the clone jutsu.

With a smile beginning to appear on his face, Renji would begin to put his scroll away when he sees Shigeki’s failed attempt at the clone jutsu. “yea I figured he would have some difficulty with all the chakra he has spent on the transformation jutsu” Renji would think to himself.  Just as Renji is about to give Shigeki some pointers on how to achieve this jutsu, Renji would look at Shigeki’s face and sees that he looked like he was battling internally to find the answers that he needed. Seeing this Renji decides not to intervene and instead would shift his attention back to working on his own jutsu.

Renji would walk out away from where Shigeki was practicing at. Doing this so that Shigeki was a safe enough distance away not to be hit by the jutsu. As this was his first Time preforming it, and he did not know what to expect.

Just as Renji is about to begin working on his own jutsu he would hear Shigeki shout out to him, and also sees through his byakugan that Shigeki had achieved the clone jutsu, watching him and his clone dance for joy. Renji would not respond back instead he would just raise his left gloved hand over his head giving a thumbs up before returning again to his own jutsu.

Just when Renji is beginning to preform his Lighting rat violent quake technique, he would see through his byakugan as Shigeki lays down and close his eyes. Looking at Shigeki Renji would not be able to tell if he is sleeping or just resting his eyes. Renji decides to give him a few minutes before waking him, using this time to work on his jutsu.

Renji would then shift his attention back to the area around him checking one last time insuring that no one was in a ten meter circle around him. Once he had double checked his surroundings, Renji would then make the monkey ox Boar tiger hand seals and shouts “lighting release: lighting rat violent quake.” A second would pass before, over each of his shoulders would appear an orb of lightning. The orbs would appear making an audible crackling sound.

Shifting his hands around, Renji would see that he has complete control over the two orbs, making them shift and move around the young shinobi.

After a few moments of playing with the lighting orbs,  Renji would send them a safe distance away from himself and Shigeki so he could explode them. Once he seen that the orbs were far enough away, Renji would send a jolt of chakra through his body causing the two orbs to explode. The orbs would explode giving off a loud audible popping sound, the sound would be loud enough to wake or at least startle anyone resting or sleeping in the area.

If the popping of the lighting balls did not wake Shigeki, Renji would wait for him to wake before walking over towards him. Renji would turn his byakugan off as he walks towards Shegeki.

Regardless, once Shigeki was paying attention to him Renji would go on to say “not bad with the clone jutsu. With that and the transformation jutsu you should be good to go for the Genin exam. Hey if you want I can show you this nice block/counter move I know, and the genjutsu release technique if you want. May not help on the exam but they will both be valuable once you are out of the academy.” Renji would wait a moment to see if Shigeki still wanted to train more.

Should he still want to train Renji would continue on “the Genjutsu release is an easy technique to learn, the hardest part is knowing you are under a genjutsu. But once you do realize you make the Tiger hand seal and focus on shooting your chakra through your chakra network in order to shock you back to reality.” Renji would make the hand seal and shows Shigeki how the genjutsu release works.

Once he was done showing the genjutsu release, Renji would move on to  the inner to outer block. “last freebie I’m going to give you is the inner to outer counter. When someone throws a punch at you, you just use their momentum against them and now your on the offensive, like so” Renji would explain and shows how the technique works, pushing his arm down then out making a half circular motion with his hand.

Once he was done talking and demonstrating Renji would step back and fold his arms over his chest while he watches to see if the academy student got him.

Once he was sure that Shigeki got the two jutsu down, Renji would then reach into his pocket pulling out two jutsu scrolls and throws them at Shigeki. “consider it an early graduation gift. Those two e rank Jutsu should be good for you, I don’t need em so you can have them.” Renji would say as he throws the two scrolls at Shegeki before continuing on  “But  I have been here all day, I am out of here good luck on ya test catch you in the fields!”  

Renji would then turn and heads for the gate, waving his gloved hand over his head as he walks out

Approved.

Shigeki now taking a short nap as he is very exhausted from the training he has put himself through today. And seeing as he only ate half of his food the young shinobi could use the rest. He would use this time to not only catch his breath, he would also use this time to think about his mother. Who was at work at the moment it becoming later Shigeki thinking to himself “I wonder if moms cooking tonight I wonder if Renji wants to come over to eat”. Seeing as Renji was Shigeki’s first real friend other than his parents. He thinks to himself again “I’ll ask once we finish training”.
 
At that moment Shigeki would hear a loud boom! Being used to loud sounds due to traveling along the border of war as a child Shigeki is used to loud sounds so he wouldn’t jump out of his sleep but would still be woken up, and confused to what actually happened around him when he was out. Slowly getting up and checking his surroundings Shigeki would come to see only Renji in the training ground and just assumes it was him that made the sound. At this point Renji begins walking toward the young shinobi praising Shigeki on his hard work learning the clone and transformation jutsu. Now Shigeki listening to Renji speak and explain. Shigeki excited but very tired just stares at Renji as to tell him teach away. Shigeki knows he can’t really practice the move because he would need to be under a genjutsu to be able to use the release. But he notes the hand sign Tiger and also notes that he must push his chakra throw his body in order for the jutsu to work successfully. 

 Next up Renji would explain the inner to outer counter move demonstrating the movement and Shigeki would almost mirror his movements as to make sure he fully learns the move. Shigeki feels comfortable after a few try’s with the counter movements but knows it will take much more time to master all of his skills. Before Shigeki could ask Renji about dinner the Hyuga shinobi would pull two scrolls out and tosses them my way stating there an early gift for finishing the academy. At that same time Renji would express he’s been  out there too long and was leaving Shigeki conflicted decides to stay and train these 2 new Justus instead and will go home later waving goodbye to his new found friend and rival. Shigeki excited to learn sits down and opens up one of the scrolls eager to learn new jutsu he reads  the scroll saying to himself “ Renji must of new I wanted to be a swordsman he gave me the e rank scroll of spanking”. Reading the scroll says the user must have a blade in order to complete this move. There user swings and hits his opponent with the flat side of the sword. Shigeki looks around hoping to find something to demonstrate this movement with. Lucky for him some students must have left kendo sticks in the area Shigeki picking one up demonstrates the movements needed to complete this skill.

 Once he felt comfortable enough with this skill he felt it was time to read the second scroll. This scroll a little different from the first as the first was a weaponry skill this one seems to be a puppet art skill called ventriloquism. Shigeki reads the scroll and sees it shows you how to mimic voices and even throw your voice to different areas within 15 meters. Shigeki  would try to mimic his father’s voice sadly failing as it’s been a while since seeing his father Shigeki  not a 100 percent sure if that’s what his father’s voice sounds like, but he is happy because he I able to throw his voice the necessary 15 meters. A cool trick to learn and something Shigeki would soon find out could come in handy sooner rather than later. Shigeki would feel a familiar presence also smell a very delicious and familiar scent of food. “The only person who can make food smelling that good that I know is my mom” thinking to himself. This would be the perfect time to try out the ventriloquism technique he just learned. He decides to sneak away into the bushes and work his way to the front of the training ground. Once here he would climb up a nearby tree, now at the top of the tree Shigeki would first try speaking as a current instructor yelling at Shigeki saying “That’s no way to complete the clone jutsu” in a scolding tone. Shigeki’s mother at this point starts walking towards the direction the voice came from but stops. As she stops picks up something on the ground turns directly toward Shigeki and throws it at him hitting him in the head and knocking him down. Shigeki says “Ouch mom what was that for” and his mom replies “ Nice jutsu next time don’t make so much noise sneaking up on me lets setup a picnic and eat I’ve brought lunch and you look like you’ve trained enough”. At that moment Shigeki and his mother would leave the training grounds.
