Byakugan training

Takeshi was glad that Sakuragi came up to him. Takeshi knew in his heart that this entire interaction was meant to be. Takeshi wanted nothing more than friends, even if the way they met was less than ideal with Takeshi pouring out his soul about his past to a complete stranger, Takeshi was more than glad that this was what was coming out of it. Takeshi had met someone that saw through Takeshi’s eyes and actually understood what life was like through Takeshi’s perspective. Takeshi found someone that didn’t care what anyone else thought of him, a way that Takeshi used to be a child in the academy. Before the abuse became too much for him to bear. Takeshi didn’t feel obligated to speak to this person, Sakuragi was someone that Takeshi wanted to speak to, he wanted to talk to this person more and more. Takeshi couldn’t believe it, but he may have found a friend.

“ You're never gonna be beaten anymore by anyone! You're never gonna be a victim of bully or punishment or weakness. No one will ever treat you that way again . You have to get stronger tho” Takeshi heard these words and began day dreaming of what life would be like never having to worry about being bullied, or hurt, or beaten. It was a life that Takeshi knew that he wanted, and desperately knew that that was what he was going to get. Takeshi would push to the ends of the Earth, become stronger than anyone around him. He was going to become the strongest ninja in the village, not because of pure brute strength, or even the mastery of jutsus. But because he was going to become a Kage, a ninja who knows how to also rely on his friends to become great. Takeshi knew that he was not going to be able to achieve his dream on his own, it was going to be all of his friends that surrounded him that was going to make him strong. This made Takeshi excited, invigorated, and ready. Ready to take on this life with an entire new mindset, he was going to do whatever it took, to have the chance and the ability to protect everyone that he loved, and all the people who hated him.

“The truth is you don't have try and be a great person, you are a great person.” Takeshi hadn’t been complimented before. Not that he could remember anyway. Takeshi didn’t know how to take the compliment, it made him begin to sweat. He didn’t even think anyone would compliment him after the night with his mother. He thought he would be a monster forever. Little did he know this fellow clansmen was going to prove him wrong. Takeshi enjoyed Sakuragi’s company, even if he was an extremely blunt person, as a matter of fact, that was probably one of the things Takeshi like the most about Sakuragi.

Sakuragi asked Takeshi to follow him, so Takeshi did. Excited knowing that he was going to learn how to use his Byakugan “Throw the kunai at me!” Sakuragi yelled to Takeshi. Takeshi did not waste a second. The second the words had concluded, Takeshi sent the kunai flying directly toward Sakuragi’s back. Takeshi was excited to see the Byakugan in action. As he watched Sakuragi side step the kunai and catch it literally less than seconds away from impact, Takeshi grew hungry to perform this technique. The fact that he had been blessed with such amazing power was astonishing to him.

Sakuragi turned and told Takeshi how to focus on the chakra and how there was tenketsu attached to our eyes. This was something that Takeshi learned in the books he had read. Then Sakuragi asked Takeshi to perform the Byakugan technique just as he did. Takeshi thought about it, he focused on the chakra that surrounded his eyes. He could feel the chakra inside of him become so intense around his eyes it was mind blowing how much power he felt swirling inside his head, circling his eyes like a typhoon or a hurricane. Constantly spinning and spinning. Takeshi focused on the technique, applying all that Sakuragi had told him. Takeshi had his eyes closed, tightly, trying so hard to focus on the technique. Takeshi finally felt the chakra build strong enough in his eyes, he could feel the power of his dojutsu swirling inside of him. Takeshi flashed open his eyes and what he saw was something he had never seen before. He knew that he had done it. He had activated his Byakugan!

@ Takeshi this looks good except for Earth Golem, you can only learn C-rank and below on techniques that are not your specialty.  Put the words to something else and I will approve. Bump when ready.

Approved @ Ancient

Approved @ Takeshi

It was no less more than reality to sakuragi, it was of a truth that he is the only brown skin Shinobi in Hoshigakure and probably the only spiky haired boy who lives therein.  Sakuragi is a boy with promising future, though the path he would journey he does not know yet. If there was any miracle that had happened to him this week, that would be meeting Takeshi. He is someone who has almost the same background with sakuragi . They are both orphans right now. Sakuragi never even knew his parent, the only one he know was his old granny who had cater for him since  childbirth. This Takeshi boy, is he younger or older than sakuragi. The brown skin spiky haired boy is just fourteen years, he is a fresh genin who have not really experienced the shinobi world yet. Though he has completed some mission, most of the missions he completed were low rank missions. He hasn't even gotten into a real combat with someone. He only real combat he had was with Kari, a puppeteer. The battle ended in a draw due to the two fighting for a long time and no one dealt any damage. Back when he fought Kari, he wasn't this strong, he had learned very few jutsu and couldn't rely on his jutsu during their fight. He depended on his intelligence to combat Kari, countering and evading all her attacks and at some point in time, he nearly dealt a fatal blow to the puppeteer but eventually miss. Now he was way stronger than before, if he fights Kari again, he was confident enough that he would beat her blue black. He await the day they would fight again. 



All the words of Sakuragi seems to be healing balm to the wounded heart of Takeshi. Though he was very blunt, because that was his nature, it seems his words still have enough healing to power to make Takeshi feel better. Sakuragi didn't actually said all of those things to make Takeshi feel better, he wasnt bluffing when he said all of those. Everything he had said was the sincere truth. He meant his words when he said he would have touture his mother to death if that had happen to him. Fortunately, he had no parent. 



Could life be any better than this?  Could life be any worse than this?. To have no friends is worse than having no food to eat.  That is even the greatest pain. A life of loneliness, he  wasn't surprised when Takashi told him people don't talk to him. They just nag nag and nag him to death without wanting to know the truth of the matter. It was so crazy weird life. Friends are the illusions that we are not alone and if someone walked the face of the earth without friends then the illusion doesn't exist in their own lives.  The truth about loneliness is that one can be around people and still be loneliness. You can be around multitudes of people and friends and still feel lonely and still feel, no one wants to talk to you. Loneliness is a matter of the heart, it is a way we think. Sakuragi thought this must have been Tekashi situation or more certain  that people really hated him so much that they would kill him if they have the chance. Funny enough, there was a companion in his head. Sakuragi thought that would be giving the hyuuga boy headaches every now and then. However, reverse is the case, the companion in his head is very helpful in a lot of things, to access a lot situations and with a companion like that, his reasoning was doubled. Two minds thinking and reasoning in one body. Sakuragi believed Takeshi was satisfied with this companion as he didn't even try to resist him . Whatever companion he was , he was really helpful to Takeshi, this were just Sakuragi’s  assumptions .


It seems that the boy really likes sakuragi, though the brown Skin spiky haired boy could not tell what Takeshi liked about him . He wasn't that nice to him, he wasn't nice to people because people do not think the way he would think and he would never stoop low to think the way someone thinks just to impress them unless his own mind sees sense it doing so. He was that weird, though he didn't see himself as weird, that was what people thought of him.  Well, they can go kiss the grave, Sakuragi doesn't give a fucking shit about stuff like that!!!




Takeshi was excited and Sakuragi could see it on his face ,when someone is excited, you don't need a suite Sayer to tell you that they are excited, it would be bold written on their face . Sakuragi just couldn't tell what made the boy so exicited , though he could sense that it was because Takeshi was meeting him and he was gonna teach how to activate his byakugan, he wouldn't bother to ask, as he doesn't like to meddle into other people's business unless there's urgent need for it. Sakuragi counted it as  none of his business. 




The two would walk to the forest to train, sakuragi activated his byakugan and told Takeshi to throw a kunai at him while his back faced Takeshi.  Sakuragi would simply side that  and catch it with his other hand. He gave Takeshi instructions on what to do and how to activate his byakugan, though he didn't expect him to get it all at once. However, it seem Takeshi learned this faster than the Brown skin boy thought. Though it took some minutes for him to get his pupiless eyes activated. Once those eyes were activated , the veins around his eyes would budge out. Sakuragi was glad that Takeshi activated his byakugan, “Well done Takeshi”, he said with a bright smile. Sakuragi would had activated his own dojutsu before  Takeshi threw the kunai would deactivate his dojutsu. It was indeed a successful training . Sakuragi would walk closer to Takeshi until he was a metre away. “Now that you have learn how to activate the byakugan, I guess I'm free to go now, huh? ” he would ask in a soft voice, wanting to be sure that's all Takeshi wanted to learn from him and if there was anything else he wanted to learn, Sakuragi would willingly teach him depending on what Takeshi would want him to teach to him. With that said and done, the boy awaited a response from the hyuuga.

Sakuragi was most certainly an interesting character, he was very blunt, but honest. He was confident in his skills and Takeshi was sure he had a reason to be. Takeshi like Sakuragi, and he felt so blessed that their paths had crossed. Takeshi was glad to have so many Hyuga around him in this village, mainly because he had plenty of fellow clansmen that would be able to help Takeshi learn all the different techniques. People like Kuniko, Ayato, and Sakuragi all pushed Takeshi forward in his journey to become a great shinobi. Takeshi was sincere when he told Ayato that he was going to be the great Hyuuga, no matter what the cost was going to be. Takeshi wanted nothing more than to become a great ninja. One that could protect himself, and everyone else that he loved. Takeshi was going to be the Kage one day, Takeshi just knew it. But to get to that goal, he needed to continue to work hard in the training grounds, as often as he possibly could and for as long as he possibly could handle.

Takeshi saw what Sakuragi’s Byakugan could do, and he knew that he needed to master the ability that he had been given at birth, and figure out how to use its amazing powers every day, whether it be for combat or for missions. This Kekkei Genkai was a miracle blessed upon Takeshi, and watching Sakuragi perform his exercise with the throwing of the Kunai knife into the back of Sakuragi, just so he could side step it mid-flight and catch it in the air. Takeshi was excited to begin working with his Byakguan. With Takeshi’s own Byakugan activated, he was able to see the world in a completely new light. Takeshi could see all of Sakuragi’s chakra points. He couldn’t believe the difference in his eye sights from not having his Byakugan activated, to having it activated.

““Now that you have learn how to activate the byakugan, I guess I'm free to go now, huh? ” Takeshi didn’t want Sakuragi to leave, but it was beginning to transition from day to night. Takeshi was sure that they didn’t have enough time to train a whole separate technique, for that could take way to long and it was getting late. Takeshi was thinking about what else they could do before they called it a night. Takeshi then realized something. Takeshi hadn’t had an actual spar with another ninja yet. He was learning all the different techniques and training all aspects of himself. But he hadn’t had the chance to actually put these skills into practice. Takeshi wasn’t entirely sure how Sakuragi would react to the request he was about to present to Sakuragi, but he figured no matter the result. Takeshi and Sakuragi would only become closer friends and even closer comrades on the field of battle.

“You are of course free to go if you would like Sakuragi. But there is one thing I was wondering if you would be up for. We still have a little bit of time before it’s dark. What do you say you and I have a spar here on this field? We will most certainly no try and kill each other, but we will see how we fare against each other. This way, we can have a good idea how to fight when it comes to fighting other people, either on a mission or in the Chuunin exam and even after that. I have not been in a spar yet, so this would be extremely good for me.” Takeshi was hoping Sakuragi would agree to this, so Takeshi knew that his first match, whether win or loss, would be with his friend.

Sakuragi was not really a good teacher, he was not good at teaching people. However, he successfully taught Takeshi how to activate his byakugan. It didn't expect Takeshi to master it that fast. It appears Takeshi broke his expectations as he has now mastered how to activate the byakugan. Sakuragi activate his own dojutsu at a very young age. He could remember what his grandma told him when he activated it back then. Sakuragi wasn't fluent in speech back then but he could hear. His grandma was looking for a tablespoon she had misplaced, she had searched everywhere in the house she couldn't find it. She sat down in frustration beside sakuragi who was in the living. Suddenly, sakuragi began crying, he cried so loud that it bothered his grandma, her grandma did everything she could to pet the brown skin hyuuga baby to make him stop crying but he wouldn't stop. Was sakuragi tired of this old granny? Was he hungry?. He couldn't have been hungry because he just finished eating. His grandma was starting to give up on petting him when she noticed something on sakuragi’S face. The eyes around his eyes had bulged out,  she immediately realised that sakuragi had activated his byakugan because she was an hyuuga too.  It's no wonder the kid was crying for no real reason, it must have been painful to activate such powerful dojutsu at the age of two. Sakuragi tho he was very young and couldn't speak fluently at the age of two heard how his grandma was talking to herself in frustration of not able to find the missing tablespoon. Tho the old granny is an hyuuga, she wouldn't activate the dojutsu because it puts a lot of strain on her. She couldn't even remember the last time she used it and she was not gonna activate now because of a single table spoon. She'd rather let it be missing forever than activate her dojutsu. Sakuragi wanted to help but young sakuragi could not talk. In pain he activated his dojutsu, he found the missing tablespoon, he would crawl up to where it was in the kitchen. His granny marvel at everything the boy. Alas! Young sakuragi found the missing tablespoon under the cupboard. It must have fallen from the shelf while his old granny was cleaning the kitchen. His granny collected the table spoon and thanked the little boy. Though, all sakuragi could do back then is to mutter words, he just smiled back to his mother. His mother would tell him the story of how he activated his byakugan later when he was eight years old. 


Here was a boy who activated his byakugan at a older age, and sakuragi even was the one who taught him how to do that. Takeshi mastered the activation of byakugan, sakuragi believed his work here is done. However, he deem it fit to ask the boy if there was anything he would like to learn before he leaves as the brighter of the day was growing weaker every minute. Sakuragi waited for a response from the boy.  Eventually, Takeshi reply him. However, his response was quite different from what the brown skin hyuuga boy was expecting. Takeshi wanted to spar with Sakuragi. The black spiky haired boy would let out a smirk on his face as he pocket his hands in his jacket.  Sakuragi would walk past sakuragi, giving him no response until he had walked a meter past him and his back facing Takeshi's back, “ You just learnt  the byakugan which is the basis of every hyuuga clan jutsu. I might get hurt if I spar with you. So get stronger and challenge me later” he said and continue walking away from the forest. He would continue walking Unless Takeshi would do or say something that will make him stop. He believed he had not wasted his day, he helped someone help himself.

Takeshi had never sparred with anyone before. Even though he knew plenty of techniques that would incapacitate any enemies that came across Takeshi. With this in his mind, he was sure that he could hold his own against any foe, including his own friends. Knowing this, Takeshi had a thought. Takeshi thought that his first spar should be with a friend, so they knew that they shouldn’t go to hard and they would be less likely to kill one another. Takeshi had been spending weeks in the training grounds with not only Sakuragi, but with Master Ayato also. They both taught him very important techniques, and also taught Takeshi to learn to live with himself, that things that others said didn’t truly matter, and that he needed to take the initiative in his own life and stop relying on other people’s opinions.

Takeshi felt that he was stronger than he was before, not just in regards to his shinobi prowess, but also mentally, he felt that he was stronger than he had ever been before. Takeshi knew that he could handle life, he knew that when he woke up in the morning, that didn’t mean that he was going to have get through another day. Now he knew that that meant that he was going to get another chance to prove to everyone, but most importantly himself. That he was a great ninja, and that he in fact, was something of worth. Takeshi was going to spend the rest of his life pushing himself, and actually move on from his past. His past will never go away, Takeshi knew this. But he could grow from that past. His past was the part of his life where he felt like he had hit rock bottom. But from this bottom he was going to turn it into a field, and grow like plants. Sounds cheesy, maybe dumb, but that was how Takeshi was now viewing his own life. He was but a plant that has yet produced fruit. But every day, he was going to do his best to become the ninja that his father was and that he believed, Takeshi was meant to be.

Takeshi respected Sakuragi, so much so that he wanted him to be Takeshi’s first spar. Takeshi felt that if these two were to go into a spar, that they would both grow and they would both learn, and maybe even bond to become closer comrades in the future. Takeshi mustered up the courage to finally ask Sakuragi if he wanted to spar with Takeshi. Takeshi asked him plainly if Sakruagi wanted to spar with Takeshi. When Takeshi had asked Sakuragi, Sakuragi seemed mildly amused. Takeshi was confused by Sakuragi’s reaction to Takeshi’s plain question. Sakuragi then walked by Takeshi, hands in his pockets. Sakuragi then slowed and actually spoke a response to Takeshi’s question. “Get stronger. Then challenge me.” Takeshi was even more confused by this response. “Stronger? What do you mean? What makes you think you are stronger than me?” Takeshi thought to himself. Genuinely confused as to why Sakuragi would imply that he was stronger than Takeshi. Not that Takeshi thought of himself as being all powerful, or anything of the sort. But Sakuragi were the same rank. Sure Sakuragi had been training a little longer. But Takeshi had full faith that if they were to spar, it would be one close match. Takeshi respected Sakuragi’s decision. But as Sakuragi walked away, Takeshi grinned and said after him. “Oh don’t worry. We’re much closer than you think.” Takeshi said to Sakuragi. Takeshi was confident in his arsenal of techniques, he just needed the practice in putting them into a real life battle. But Takeshi was certainly respectful when he told Sakuragi this. But he did want Sakuragi to know that, at least in Takeshi’s eyes, they were on a level playing field.

Takeshi then walked the opposite direction, deeper into the training grounds. Activating and deactivating his Byakugan at will, feeling giddy at the idea that he had finally figured out how to use his Byakugan. Takeshi ran farther into the woods and began practicing his new techniques that he had learned. Takeshi limbered up and he began running back to his home. Takeshi couldn’t help but hear Sakuragi’s comment “Get stronger. Then challenge me.” Takeshi did respect the fact that Sakuragi hadn’t seen the different techniques that Takeshi knew, so how would he know just how strong Takeshi was? He wouldn’t, that had to have been the reason why Sakuragi would have said that. Takeshi stopped by the ramen shop on the way home. Grabbed himself a large bowl of ramen, and smiled at the thought of all of the progress that he had made in such a short time. Takeshi was readying himself to become a Chuunin and then Jounin. Takeshi was so excited probably to a fault. But at this very moment Takeshi didn’t care. For how far he had gotten in the short amount of time, this was something that Takeshi could help himself but to feel proud of himself.

Sakuragi confident in himself when he told Takeshi to get stronger. He knew by all means he was stronger, without even fighting Takeshi, he concluded that if Takeshi had difficulties with activating his byakugan so much that he needed someone to teach him then he is very weak. Sakuragi knew Takeshi could get hurt if he agrees to his proposal. He wasn't sure if Takeshi would be pleased with what he said, but he doesn't seem to care. To Sakuragi, Takeshi is weak, that's just the truth and he wasn't gonna sweet talk that like some would have done. He simply told him to get stronger and challenge him some other day. That sounds fair enough.  Sakuragi would continue walking since the boy didn't try to do anything that will stop him. However, it seem Takeshi thinks he is on par to sakuragi, the reason why he thought that way the brown haired wouldn't know.  However, he didn't care about Takeshi's opinion, this is not a competition. Sakuragi  would away from the forest and head home. It seem Takeshi decided to train more while Sakuragi left him, that didn't bother the brown haired, he has his own training schedules. Sakuragi thought of how and when to meet the Hyuuga clan lord, Ayato. Hopefully, they'll meet soon.

@ Takeshi in your previous mid thread claim, you claimed techniques and stats for 5505 words, while your twc was 4703. This was an oversight by me, consider it unapproved.

From that point onwards. In your second to the last post, you have written 622 words and have listed 813. In your last post, you have 852 words while you have listed 1029.

So 4703+ 622 + 852 = 6138 is your twc.

I need you to redo your claims from the beginning in a post following this one with the proper WC. Please and thank you.
