Training

[sam]

Neji reacted quickly. He hadn't activated his byakugan until now - stupid decision - and now Hinata's fist was flying straight at him. He moved his arms into a parallel structure, bracing himself against the blow. The fist flew right through his arms, cushioning the strike. He winced as his arms and chest absorbed the hit, stinging with raw chakra.

He had her arm locked beneath his; Neji lifted his arm, sending hers into the air. He rotated his body, his index and middle fingers extending in the traditional jyuuken style.

"Haa!" Neji huffed, driving his left fingers towards one of the chakra points in the arm.

Hinata got hit,and she walked a few steps back looking at Neji,she got hurt bad,but she continued fighting,at the time,her palms were normal,her attack concluded int hat blow,but she ahd mroe things in her arsenal.

"Gentle fist art!" Hinata shouted,as she moved her arm infron,one feeth infron and one back,one of her arms lifted up,she was in a position usually sported by neji.
"I saw you doing this one day,i may nto eb as good with it but i still can make some blows,in fact,theya re 64!"Hinata said,smiling as a ying yang symbol appeared in the floor suddenly.
"Eight trigrams 64 palms!"Hinata shouted,as she spinend rapidly to her enemy.she was moving fast,aimign to deliver the first 2 blows to Neji´s chest.

[sam]

Neji's pulse quickened. He had used this jutsu enough to know that it was nothing to toss around. Hinata looked like she knew what she was doing, and he wasn't about to take sixty-four direct, simultaneous blows to the central nervous system.

He deepened his stance and waited for her to come closer. He hadn't wanted to use this either, but he could tell that Hinata truly didn't want him to hold back simply based on the fact that she was willing to employ her own jutsu. She approached him swiftly, ready to unleash all of the talent and raw power of the Hyuuga's secret techniques.

"Hakkeshou Kaiten!" Neji shouted, gritting his teeth in concentration. His left foot scraped against the ground, and he rotated, drawing his arms closer together to increase the speed and repel her attack.

[jose12323]

Hinata felt the raw chakra movign trough the air,she coudl see Neji rotatin inside of the big field of chakra with her Byakugan,then ehr body suddenly started to spin,the Heavenly Spin of Neji worked,in fact it worked too good.she spinned a little less than half a complete circle because of the shield forming,when the shield got big enought it tossed her away some meters.she alnded hard agints the floor,blood forming near the corner of her mouth.she looked everywhere,her eyes suddenly got wider,there was a medium sized pond nearby,she crawled to the water,not looking back to Neji.
she then sat near it,as her Byakugan looked over the inside,there were no fishes in there,perfect.
"Ox, Monkey , Hare ,Rat ,Boar , Bird , Ox , Horse ,Bird ,Rat , Tiger , Dog ,Tiger , Snake , Ox , Ram Snake ,Boar , Ram , Rat , Yang Water , Monkey , Bird ,Dragon , Bird , Ox ,Horse , Ram , Tiger , Snake , Rat , Monkey , Hare , Boar , Dragon , Ram , Rat , Ox , Monkey , Bird , Yang Water , Rat , Boar , Bird " Hinata pronuned as she did all of those hand seals,her hands looking like a blur.
Hinata was now panting.as a little blob was created in the water,who started to take form,it looked like...a dragon.
"Water Release:Water Dragon Bullet" Hinata shouted,as the little dragon flew in the air to Neji´s direction,if it hits it will be a strong hit,and if doesn´t the field will be covered in water,and she had the suiton element.

[sam]

Neji's eyes widened as he saw the giant beast of water thrust towards him at an impressive speed. He was halfway through his rotation, and couldn't keep it up long enough to repel the dragon. It was coming too fast for him to launch another Hakkeshou Kaiten, and far too fast to repel it with an 8 trigrams 64 palms jutsu.

Instead, Neji ran chakra down the length of his hands and shaped them like blades, just as he did in his battle with Kidomaru so many years ago. Abruptly halting his rotation, Neji faced the beast head-on. He moved his hands in front of his body defensively at opposite angles, one slightly higher than the other. As the water spiraled towards him, he raised his slanted hands and struck. His hands split through the water, disrupting the chakra flow and sending it plummeting to the ground.

Both of his hands cut through the water at angles, but some slipped past them and nailed him in the chest. The air emptied from his lungs and he cried out abruptly, knocked fully off of his feet. Neji hit the ground and rolled, climbing back onto his feet. He panted, only thankful that he did not take a direct blow from the entire jutsu.

Neji stared at Hinata, falling into an attacker's stance. Time for the kid gloves to come off. He ran at her, forming hand seals quickly.

"Eight trigrams, mountain fist!" Neji shouted, shattering the ground beneath her footing.

[jose12323]

Hinata got out of the way just in time,she panted heavely,she was sweating as she looked at Neji,her Byakugan was still activated,she could see his chakra apth way,she could also see how the destructive hakke kusho have destroyed most of the earth enar her,maing a fairly large and big crater.
"I made this jutsu a whiel ago you know?...maybe you can now know it..." she said,smiling at Neji.

-Flexibility is the key- Hinata said in ehr toughts,as she mvoed her arms swiftelly around her,a trail of white/lue chakra following her hands,they where completelly visible for anyone,even witouth Byakugan or sharingan or rinnengan.the blue and white strings where forming a big shield slowly.
"Protection of the Eight Trigrams One Hundred Twenty-Eight Palms"Hinaat shouted,opening her eyes wide,she was sourrounded by a medium sized doem amde of strings of chakra.she mvoed ehr hands faster,every string was now tightenign with each toher,now the shield/dome was a big force shield shining in white,Hinata stops suddenly movign her hands,she spreads htem to the sides,her face lookign straigh to Neji,with her Byakugan,as she stops the technique starts to sends out an outward burst of the chakra dome created.the dome practically explotes in chakra burst to Where Neji is,Hinata standing there preparing herself for Neji if he was still able to fight.

Neji saw the jutsu coming almost too late. He panted, still exhausted from countering the water dragon, and reacted almost instinctively.

The rotation is my only chance, Neji thought. He drew out his foot in a spiral, bringing his arms in slowly to increase the torque. It takes the opponent's energy and sends it back at them... but can I keep it up in the presence of all of that chakra? How does she still have enough chakra to keep this up?

"Hakkeshou Kaiten!" Neji shouted again, feeling the chakra engulf him. There were two chakras present in the air - his and hers - and the atmosphere almost crackled with the energy. It swallowed his protective sphere and pressed in on it with enormous pressure. Neji cried out as he felt himself being knocked backwards by the sheer force of the attack. He had survived - but it had nearly been over there. His limbs were on fire, hopefully he had sent enough of the energy back to weaken his foe as well. Neji surveyed Hinata, her jutsu had dislodged most of the earth and even a few of the trees in the surrounding area.

Now is my chance, Neji thought, panting. My last chance, is more like it.

His muscles screamed as he lowered into the signature Hyuuga offensive stance. This was a last-ditch effort, a final resort. If it didn't work, then Neji didn't expect to win this fight. Hinata had certainly improved, he had underestimated her.

"8 Trigrams, 128 Palms!" Neji shouted, launching at Hinata with a speed that sent his exhausted muscles into a terrible fit of pain. If this worked, then it was all over. If it didn't...

[jose12323]

Hinata ried to get out fo the way,but she couldn´t ehr msucles were in pain,she stood there,closing ehr eyes,her Byakugan deactivated itself,she was out of chakra,she couldn´t land a simple Gentle fist at the moment.
she ahd simply overboarded,how could she think she could make so many jutsu at a time?
the first strike was perfect,her muscles where in pain,and she could hardly mvoe by her own,the rest of the gentle fist made ehr swing go back,fort and even fly a few meters,the last Gentle Fist was in the exact center of her body,the chakra engulfed herself,as it practically went trough her. she still had her eyes closed,she collapsed in her knees and arms.she coughted up blood,as she moved her hand to her stomach,she couldn´t even heal ehrself.Neji was stronger....by far stronger.
"I....I-I am sorry....·"she said "I wasn´t able to fight you....like the other t-time...i am simply...n-no match"she said,as she collapsed face directly into the earth.but she wasn´t in any critical stage,she was just exhausted.
"she sat down,leanign againts a tree with a kunai in her hand,one ahnd in ehr stomach.
"b-but i won´t give up...no matter what odds say!" Hinata said,her voice was fainting,one of her eyes closed and the other one opened,she couldn´t activate her Byakugan nor use Gentle Fist she couldn´t even use ehr basic Taijutsu,she could only sit,and hardly throw any Kunai.
she threw the Kunai,with the alst of strenght she had,it slowly fled to Neji,but it could be easily avoided.

[sam]

Neji finished the jutsu, deactivating his byakugan and ceasing the flow of chakra. He felt a pang of guilt as she fell to the floor. He watched her lying there, completely exhausted, as he held his stance. She threw the kunai, and he caught it by the handle.

I did it again, he thought, lowering his gaze guiltily. He dropped his stance, letting his arms hang at his sides. No matter what I do, no matter where we are, I only hurt her.

Neji sat down beside her and brushed a strand of hair out of her face. He didn't know what to say, what he should say, if there was anything that he even could say. They had just been training, so why did it go so far?

"I'm sorry," Neji told her, resting his arms on his knees. "I just don't know when to stop."

[jose12323]

Hinata leaned closer to Neji,cheek to cheek.she then whispered in his ear.
"Is not your fault....brother."
She moved her arms,who where trembling,she had done too many jutsu,she was too exhausted.
she hugged him,tightly,she didn´t want to let go.her hands where resting in his back,they started to shine in a green aura,she was healing him.
"Mystical palm technique..."She said faintly,she had recovered many chakra just by resting this minutes,but this healign would only repair minor scars."My Byakugan was able to locate your scars..."hinatqa said,smiling a little.
"if i had a little more of chakra...i could do more for you..."Hinata said,smiling and looking to Neji.
"Thanks for helping in my training..."
