Charisma vs Intimidation (Shin)

The night had been young. He ate. He drank. He....did things that would normally make most disgusted because of how many were involved yet he enjoyed all of it. He had found a new power that would add onto his own, even if it had only cost him a single eye. Sure he could see his family being disgusted by the fact that he gave away his Byakugan, their most prized possession and namesake, for...power. What they would not understand is that by doing he so made himself strong enough to procure anything he had wanted.. The night had come to pass and morning had come to pass. Inside of his room he had been surrounded by three. Two of which had been with him since his first day in Suna and the other from his night of celebrating. It felt good to be in the company of such individuals...the pure feeling of bliss that made his skin shudder with delight. He knew however that his time for this particular action would soon be coming to an end as he stirred from the bed and began to dress himself. Putting his usual clothes on he would add his scarf as he grabbed his bow and quiver before heading into the light of the day.

He'd already set up a meeting with his long standing friend Shin at the the training grounds at high noon and for once he would make damn sure he was there first. Walking into training ground number three he would search with his Byakugan to make sure Shin was not there first and when he made sure of it he would continue onward, picking a spot in the far back so that they would not be disturbed. Knocking one of his dummy arrows he would begin his warm up with a few shots toward the posts near him. Starting at ten meters, then fifteen, then thirty and lastly continuing untilhe had reached a range of ninety meters. With his left eye he could still make the most outlandish of shots without even missing a beat. Taking into consideration the wind currents and margins for error he would continue to go through shot after shot until he had gotten to about 5 dummy arrows and sighed," Finally warmed up... Wonder where that man is? Its almost noon and no Shin unless he is skulking around somewhere," which was probably unlikely since they both had the Byakugan. He finally just decided to hop onto one of the training posts and wait, sitting down indian style until his friend had arrived.

At first he did not turn around when the "pulse" that had been Shin had begun to descend onto the training grounds. He remained still and in his own little world until the footsteps had came closer and finally to a halt as he heard him speak. Smiling softly he would turn so that his left eye, the glowing blue eye that Shin would recognize as his Byakugan would be the first to great the friend as he spoke," I wouldn't go as far as to say that you should be on the look out for anything ridiculous or anything like that. The sky might fall though who knows. I just so happen to have a great night and a better morning so here I am a wee bit earlier than I usually would be and all. Now then," he would say as he jumped off of the training post landing just beside it facing Shin directly. He knew his friend would notice it as he could finally get another look at Hoori as one of his eyes would be a different color from that cool shade of blue that had been in his right eye. No he would now notice that his right eye had been a dull grey, almost as if he was blind in it but he pupil was faint and looking over Shin as he normally did," I hear you have been making a name for yourself around the village eh? Well its been a good while since we have been able to spar against one another without any interruptions so how would you like to do this?," he'd let Shin set up the rules of the little training exercise and warm up so that things could be interesting. As far as his friend knew he still only used the bow in his fighting style, which was indeed correct but now he had a few other skills to throw into the ring...Skills that would without a doubt aide the hunter and his company in their future endeavors.

It would have seemed as if Shin had already knew about his trip to the Ragdoll...Which he assumed was due to the Byakugan... Or maybe his eye? Maybe his chakra signature was tad different due to the myriad of bloodlines in him now, but he could also attribute it to the way his chakra sat with the new elements he had learned and one of course that did not belong to the Hyuga. Nothing had honestly escaped Shin's eyes as he had an acute attention to detail that was different than Hoori's own,"Yeah he gave me quite the proposal for it honestly. i never thought that a single eye would grant me that much...honestly it makes me want to go and collect our old home and take their eyes....they aren't using them for anything good anyways. Is that a grim thought? Profiting off of those that have wronged or hurt us in the past? Thought of us as different and threw us to the side for not following their way of life?," he had only just realized that he had went down quite the morbid spiral which was quickly followed by a small smile and a dismissive smile and waved it off," Never mind me my friend."His next question of course would cause the man to tap his chin as he thought about the question before snapping his fingers.

"Well I have two bloodlines that were well known during the old times, they were the strongest of Konoha's Past Kage. Senju and Uzumaki. The other one he offered me of course is one I have not heard of before but he said it would be useful to me because of my usage of the bow. It was called Pendragon I think? I haven't gotten the chance to use the abilities of that particular bloodline so I am unsure of what all it can rightfully do. Your guess is as good as mine when it comes to these transplants...I don't know much about them either but if i'm going to get stronger I am definitely going to utilize as much of their power as I can and then some," the statement came out as more of a fact than a thought as he looked down to his hand for a moment. He had been slacking in his training and that was for certain but he wasn't going to let that get to him.

"There is always something for you when you least expect it my friend. But I will not press you into something you do not want to do. Besides,"as he stretched a little more he would flash a grin to his friend," with your meticulous ways you can amass a different kind of power right?," he knew Shin enough to know what he couldn't get in one way the money he had could get it for him in another. The two however were not there to merely chat however. Thinking on his question he would shrug and speak once more," We can spar or do whatever you think may be necessary to get stronger. I can very well tell that I have fallen behind when it comes to strengthening myself so whenever you are read we can begin yeah?," he'd of course wait for his brother in arms and friends to state the rules before making any movements.

He had some inkling that Shin had became stronger since they had gotten here. He was busy at work doing missions with Enrai while Hoori trained in other ways. He couldn't fault him for the politically correct statement, but if he thought that he wasn't going to put up a fight even in the midst of unfavorable odds...well he knew him better than he thought. A brief smile came across his face as Shin mentioned hand to hand combat only," My brother you do know we are both ass when it comes to fighting with just our hands yeah? A hand to hand spar would do neither of us no good, and i'm afraid a bow does not count in hand to hand combat so you have me at a loss there." Shin's next comment would of course be more to both of their likings as they didn't need to necessarily fight, but could just as well show each other what they have learned- a very good idea. Nodding to the thought of it, he would of course volunteer. Stepping forward he would roll his shoulders and take hold of his bow in his left hand," In the time that we've came here i've developed my own little way of using the gifts of the Hyuga...without using Gentle Fist. Its not perfect by any means yet but it would definitely piss off those old men," as he spoke his right hand would begin to pull backwards slowly, filling the space between the bow and his fingers with water which began to take the form of an arrow. Once the arrow had fully formed he would release it allowing it to fly freely through the air and once it had met with the target 20 meters from them it would pierce through and disappear leaving only a hole about 2 meters wide," That is the Water Arrow technique. Pierces like a sharp sword and leaves no traces. If it doesn't kill you it will definitely hit you hard...and i've found a way to have it operate similarly to if you were hit with the Gentle Fist...Pretty cool yeah?," he'd look back to his friend, which to Hoori was a hard one to please. Stepping to the side he would open the floor to Shin to showcase something he had learned recently.
