“U-Ugh!”
The young Hyūga heiress cried as she hit the hard wood of the training log, something felt weird in the palm of her hand, she could feel a little pain, she figured out she had probably wounded her hand thanks to all the wood-hitting. The girl looked at her hand, just as she had predicted she had a little wound on her palm. A bit of blood started to pour out of the wound, and a single drop of blood fell to the ground. She stared at her wound while a tear was formed on each corner of her eyes. She kneeled down in front of the log; her training was leading to no-where, just like every single day. The white-eyed girl was certainly not crying because of the wound.
Hinata Hyūga was losing hope. She had told herself that she would continue fighting, that she would someday be up to the clan’s expectations, that she would be worthy. She had to be honest with herself; she would never be on par with her sister. Her father had been very clear on the subject: The Hyūga didn’t need underdogs.
Her father had left her to fence off herself in the ninja world, but she was not even able to be as strong as the rest of the Genin her age? Not only she was one of the worst students at the academy but she was also one of the worst of the clan.She feared that the day she would encounter with Kurenai-sensei and the rest of team 8 they would all see what a failure she really is. She didn’t want to let her team down, but she was not fast, nor strong, nor anything.
The girl simply sat down, head and back against the log while hugging her knees, placing her head on top of her knees. Her eyes shut as she cried softly; she simply wondered how she would be able to train with her teammates if alone, she was already a disaster.
Deep down she know nobody knew her, nobody cared about her. Or atleast that's what she was feeling at the moment.

[atrb=border,0,true]if only days like this could go on forever Things finally seemed to be looking up in the case of twelve year old Naruto Uzumaki, especially on this particular day. The sky was a calm ocean of blue with little puffs of white clouds trailing within it. And the sun shone brightly, illuminating the world of which they lived on. Meanwhile, a gentle breeze would kick up and gentle caress the land. Yes, today could be deemed the perfect day to train. Now that Naruto had finally reached the rank of genin, the world had become his oyster. All he had to do was, well, crack that oyster open and take its goods. But that was easier said than done as he figured out within the last few weeks of his training.
With the shadow clone jutsu at his disposal, he felt as if he were on top of the world. Not only that, but he had been teamed up with Sakura. The only problem with that little situation was the fact that Sasuke had been placed on their team as well, making things a bit more hectic and annoying than he would have liked. But as long as Sakura was around then things weren't quite so bad. Even so, he would have liked to have been on Shikamaru's team or maybe even Kiba's. A second thought washed over him as that initial one passed over. He had forgotten about Shino... Never mind, Naruto was perfectly fine with not being on a squad with that weirdo, even though Shino could be deemed cool in certain situations.
Walking through the training ground with both of his arms behind his back, the young male would stroll onward. Without getting much further into the training area, a rather disturbing sound would reach his ears, albeit muffled. It almost sounded like a girl or young child crying, but that was as much as he could figure out from that distance.
"Huh? What is that...?" The blond would scratch his head in confusion as his azure orbs would pan left and then right in an attempt to spot the source of the sound. However, by the time he got close enough to hear it better, the crying would die down into silence. But by this point, he could clearly making out the figure huddling by a log a few meters away.
"H-Hinata?" An inquisitive eyebrow would be raised before he ran over to her side. "Huh? Why are you crying? Did someone hurt you!?" The male growled in a low tone as he clenched his right fist, eyes staring directly down at her. "Okay! You tell me who did this and I swear I'll get them back! They'll get the punishment of a lifetime, dattebayo!" | Made by AMB Tanz |

"Eh?"
Kenta had been watching for some time now, just with a morbid curiosity. Kenta confirmed this to himself that this was an inherent curiosity in himself in these kinds of circumstances; but he was mildly ashamed that he hadn't come out earlier to ask the young Hyūga if she needed help. Well, he knew that they were probably about the same age but Kenta was... maturer than others. Well, he liked to believe that. If he believed correctly, that was Hinata Hyūga; they hadn't been in the same class, but of course the academy student (now genin) knew of eachother. Kenta was just one of the ones skilful enough to actually become a Genin, and not be sent back to the academy like so many of his other classmates. Kenta wasn't in the highest of the list of aspiring students, but he was among the middle section.
Anyway, his eyebrow rose as the small sound came out of his mouth. He had his back against a tree, one leg hanging from the branch he sat on. His team was actually pretty good minus a pretty weird sensei. Well, not exactly weird- but different. Kenta watched the scene unfold in front of him, mildly sad that a Hyūga hadn't noticed him but that wasn't going to come out of his mouth any time soon. Kenta briefly debated in his head if she was going to be of any use to Konoha; she would, was the answer.
She could use some nuturing though... what a blood shy personality; for a Hyūga too! That's different.
Then Uzumaki came. Kenta knew briefly of the boy, as did his parents. They had never told him to directly stay away from the boy, but they definitely did point out Uzumaki would be on of the people that Kenta did not want to be hated by. They hadn't made reasoning clear, but that was it. He seemed to be... well, a bit of an idiot. Very exuberant, but caring nonetheless. Kenta thought this the time to jump from the tree and dropped to the ground, placing his hand down to help break the fall. He stood up straight, and began walking towards the two.
"You feeling alright?"

The Hyūga girl was looking down, still in the same position sitting against the truck when she heard some footsteps. She tried to clean off the tears quickly against her arm before looking up but she stopped dead in her tracks as she heard the voice of no-other than Uzumaki Naruto. A red blush quickly crossed her cheeks and her white eyes widened while she was still looking down. She could feel herself shaking; Naruto was asking her if someone had hurt her? Well whatever it was she could not let him pending like that, she had to somehow acknowledge his presence. Hinata slowly raised her head; she looked at Naruto, not in the eyes, but more at his jacket. Tears were still rolling down her eyes but she quickly started to clean them off with her hands slowly standing in her own two feet while looking at Naruto.
“D-Don’t worry Naruto-kun I just-…” She started but stopped dead in her tracks as a sudden voice was heard from the side, someone else asking if she was alright, she quickly flinched out of simple reflexes and backed off to the side of Naruto. Looking at the guy she quickly remembered him from the Academy. Gadou Kenta she believed he was called.
She simply nodded at the stranger, not sure if Naruto noticed this. She simply stood there, she was speechless and at the moment she was kicking herself for not speaking, some trouble could of rise if she did not spoke.

Now it had become clear that she was crying, but what exactly made her cry. Or even possibly who. Usually when Hinata made it a point to say not to worry about her that meant you're supposed to worry more. Not that she got to finish her sentence as this red head kid approached them. Putting two and two together, Naruto assumed that this guy was most likely the cause of the disturbance.
Gritting his teeth in annoyance, the genin would lock eyes with his red head counterpart. "Hey bub! Did you do this to Hinata?! Answer me!" Taking a couple steps toward the other boy, he'd be clenching his right fist as his side.
"YOU DEAF?!" He would yell at Kenta, giving him little opportunity to answer his first question. And even he did answer, Naruto was yelling far too loudly for him to hear the red head's response.

Kenta nodded back at the girl. But of course... orange versus Red. Kenta stared dumbly at the short Yellow haired boy clad in orange. Was this boy...more idiotic than he looked? Well, that was hard.
"Let's see, Uzumaki. I just got here-" Interrupted. Screw you. Was he deaf? "I will be in a second you buffoon." Kenta doubted that Naruto would get the reference, but of course Kenta wasn't too bothered.
"Look- it wasn't me. Ok? Hyūga?" He looked to her for Hinata's affirmation. Kenta brought a hand up to his brow, wiping away a bead of sweat that had gathered there. Sometimes, things were too off what they seemed.

Hinata looked down the whole time; she was blaming herself yet again. She was bad at combat and now she was bad at solving a simple problem? As Naruto started to shout like crazy Hinata walked a few steps towards him. She couldn't let him blame Kenta thanks to her being stupid and not solving the problem. She raised her arm shakily and reached to grab Naruto's arm slowly and sternly. Physical contact had never been one of her abilities, but she was sure that if she spoke Naruto wouldn’t listen to her.
“N-Naruto-kun…”
The blushing girl said, her tears had dried and she was now softly grabbing Naruto's arm. She gulped and raised her head to look directly at Naruto, she hopefully expected him to turn and look at her.
“H-He didn't do anything to me…” the girl said, raising her voice just a little bit. She then moved her hand back from Naruto’s arm as she felt a little sting, like pain coming from it. Hinata then remembered she had wounded herself with the training log. She looked at her wounded hand. Even if it was a little scratch it was certainly painful.

"B-Buffoon?!?! What did you just call me!?" The boy's nostrils were flaring up as his anger began to get the best of him, dragging him ever so much closer to finally breaking out and messing up this guy's face. Before he could lash out physically, a hand would grab his arm and pull him out of his little tirade. It would be a soft, gentle hand, yet firm all the same. Looking at Hinata, he sighed loudly while closing his eyes. It seemed he had jumped the gun again, how embarrassing for him. Oh well, but maybe he should apologize?
Scrunching his face up into a sort of pout, the blonde would avert his eyes from the red headed menace. "Sorry about that..." The apology was half-assed at best, but it was definitely better than nothing. Besides, the entire situation seemed to be upsetting Hinata even further. But if she wasn't being bullied by this punk then why exactly was she crying? It seemed like one mystery solved lead to an even bigger unsolved one.
"You should watch what you say to your future Hokage, Patches. You're lucky Hinata vouched for you or I was gonna cream you." Naruto was hardly the type to make idle threats, therefore his intention on beating Kenta up was far too serious. But now there was no reason to, except perhaps for pride or things along those lines.

How crude. "And you call me deaf Uzumaki?" Kenta chuckled a bit, bringing his hand through his hair, running his fingers along his scalp. Thankfully, Hinata set him aback which was a good thing for Kenta- he wouldn't have wanted to whip the oblivious boy. When Naruto set out his apology, Kenta gave a small 'mhm...' half interestingly.
Patches? Naruto's coming up with names now?
Kenta looked at the boy for a second and burst out laughing for a couple of seconds. "Patches? That's cute coming from the living Orange. Tell you what, you keep calling me patches and I'll keep calling you Orange. The annoying orange. Fits perfectly."
[/color] Kenta then turned to Hinata. "Hyu- Hinata. Do you mind if I take a look at your hands for a moment? I'm pretty handy. No pun intended."[/color] Kenta refrained from the last name tag for the moment to focus on the things at hand. Kenta chuckled at himself for the pun. From what Kenta saw, he gave a small 'hmmm' and put a finger up, before looking to his right and opening up his bag and shuffling through the things in it. A couple of moments later he pulled out an ice pack, squeezed it and the bag made a small Pop! and it began freezing over. 
"Here." He held out the icepack.[/blockquote][/blockquote][/blockquote][/justify] |

Hinata slowly moved her hand in front so Kenta could look it over. The girl already had some medical knowledge, but only basic stuff. She was really ashamed that she needed help for something that was as simple as a little wound. She looked as Kenta searched inside of his bag and took out an ice pack and after it making a pop sound he reached his hand out for her to grab it.
“G-Gomenasai.”
Hinata said while she would bow down and quickly place the ice pack on top of her injury. She squeaked a little thanks to the pain, but quickly started to feel the pain to ease and making a little smile sprout on her face.
“ I-I'm really sorry for all the trouble Kenta-kun…Naruto-kun.”She said ducking her head down, staring at the floor. She was really ashamed that she had caused such trouble and she hoped that Naruto and Kenta would stop fighting and be friendlier towards each other, but something told her that their relationship would be troubled.

Sorry about the god-modding for Naruto, Deity. Please accept this gift basket of goodies! But yeah, enter the thread when you want again Deity, sorry again. I've made it so the post is pretty open to any excuses.
Naruto's nostrils flared for the second time, becoming a little bit more annoyed with the Red-haired boy. He was becoming a little more annoyed by the second with the taller boy. "YEAH, WELL-" he stopped for a second, before turning a little bit red for a moment. "I UH, forgot something! Be right back eheh, Hinata-chan, I'll be back soon! Patches--- I've got my eyes on you." Naruto made the motion of two fingers from his eyes to Kenta's. He then sped back off into the woods to do whatever it was he needed to do.
Kenta watched humorously. But that wasn't the point- the red haired boy shifted his gaze from Hinata to the icepack and around where Naruto had suddenly took off. Kenta was glad it was having a positive effect on the girl. Kenta heard her- Kinda hard to hear her... but listened nonetheless. His brow furrowed when he heard that, and a small frown appeared on his face.
"Sorry? What are you supposed to be sorry for?" He stepped a little closer to the Hyūga. He gestured for her to hold out her hands. Kenta would take them into his own, and he noted that she had tinier, delicate hands. he pressed one hand into the icepack, and the other underneath hers.
"The pain will subside in a little while. Sorry but this is a bit of an obvious question, but for a Hyūga who's training the so called Gentle fist, why are you trying to make your hands tougher?" he looked up at her, and into her eyes and stood there for a few seconds. "Sorry." he took his hands away, to look at the upright stumps she had been hitting. "These are looking pretty beaten up, though."
[/color] He looked over her, she seemed genuinely unhurt minus her hands. Did she get down and dirty? At all? Does she train her stamina, or has she just got some jutsu that keeps her clothes clean? Kenta would've snorted at this thought of his, but it definitely wasn't calling for the right moment. Maybe she needs some assistance. Well, more assistance. He snorted a tiny bit at that.

Hinata’s eyes fell a little as Naruto ran away, she hadn’t had the opportunity to talk to the Uzumaki boy lately, and he simply left. So sad, but she could still talk to Kenta, oh well could have been worse.
Hinata flinched a bit in pain as the icepack basically would freeze her hand. She blushed a little as the boy grabbed her hands; it was quite a bit embarrassing for her. She looked at her injury until the little question hit her. She looked up as Kenta apologized. She moved her head from left to right, trying to gesture a “don’t worry” but it wouldn’t be needed as she already proceeded to speak.
“A-Ano, well…” She started looking down at the ground, kind of embarrassed to unveil the hidden truth of the entire situation “Y-You see…the truth is…” she would then dig her head and shut her eyes close.
“I ran out of chakra to use the Gentle Fist and kept hitting the bark, I-I just got out of control and started….using…normal Gōken. ”She finished looking up at Kenta then back down.”
As Kenta commented on how beaten up the stumps she had been hitting were her head raised a bit a little blush forming and her eyes becoming wide.
“R-Really?” she said.

Hm, at least she was being truthful. Kenta looked back from her to the tree stumps and frowned a little bit. "Yeah, you've been at this for a while, haven't you?" Kenta felt this time it to be the good guy, and looked at the pole for a good couple of seconds- as if glaring at pole. He then brought out his right hand and grabbed a full hand of the top of the pole- and pulled. It pulled off a chunk of wood with it.
"See?"
Kenta threw the piece of wood to the side, and spoke once again. "I know a good exercise, for control. That is, if you think you can continue." Kenta pushed another hand through his hair, letting it flop back. He also took a grip of his eyepatch, and pulled it off carefully, revealing his eye underneath. He smiled, before placing the patch in his pocket. Until recently, he actually never used to take it off- but unfortunately there weren't really that many caves to explore or anything to Kenta never really needed to use it. Well, not yet anyway.
She's a nice girl, just a bit of a shame that she's shy. Kenta thought, not exactly sure where to look for the moment, but Kenta endured and crossed his arms. "So, how are your hands feeling?"
[/color] Kenta spoke, trying to make conversation. Unbelievably, not his strongest suit- making conversation. Ten times better than her though... he fixed his eyepatch on, and walked back over to Hinata. 
"Well, in any case would you like to get your things, and come with me Lady Hinata?"[/color] Smooth. He broke the tension by chuckling. Kenta was contemplating making that a hobby of his, making the girl go red. [/blockquote][/blockquote] [/blockquote] [/justify] |

The white-eyes girl nodded at his question. She certainly had spent a lot of time hitting that same spot without any progress. Hinata watched amazed as Kenta pulled the big wood piece right of the tree stump. She could only dream of doing something like that, but, Gentle Fist was certainly not about raw power.
Kenta suddenly offered to help her with her chakra control. Did she want to continue? Did she even have any other opportunity? Well not many could help her with chakra control. Kurenai’s sensei style was really different than her. She applied her chakra control to her amazing genjutsu but she certainly couldn’t help her with the gentle fist. Kiba and Shino both used ninjutsu , and basic taijutsu. His father, sister or cousin could help her…but she knew it would be a lost cause, they all despised her anyway.
Now Kenta, he was not exactly a friend at the moment. She hardly knew him, but he looked as if he knew at least to some extend about the Hyūga clan. Off course her friends did knew something too, but they had never directly expressed the desire to help her with it. She had to choose down. She couldn’t just fall behind the others right now.
“I-I want to continue…”
As Kenta revealed his eye she looked down, she didn’t want to come off as imprudent and stare at his eye.
“My hands are a lot better… Thanks a lot” she answered shyly. And as predicted the girl started to wildly blush as he asked if she wanted to “come with him”. She thanked kami it was not Naruto as she would probably had passed out if that was the case.
“H-hai!” The tomato- looking girl simply nodded and grabbed her things.

Sweet.
Well, that worked out. Truthfully, Ki hadn't had a lot of practise himself in this technique- or not even a technique but more training; but he had a supple amount of chakra that he hadn't used today so he was sure he would have more than enough to cope for a while. "We aren't going far." he assured; he wasn't a creep.
After a small walk Kenta had found the river that Kenta had been at a couple of weeks before in the scorching heat about fifty or so meters down the river. The tunnel was still there. He stopped near the edge and dropped his stuff. "The training lies in the water." and he took off his jacket to reveal a long sleeved purple shirt and he rolled up his trousers to his knees and took off his boots. After that was all finally done, he made his way into the water- as far as he could go in without getting wet.
"Man, this is cold. Anyway, the point is here- we're going to put our hands close to each other, and create a spike of chakra between them. The point is to extend the spike and keep it's shape, while moving in the water- what say you?" Kenta demonstrated what he meant, but with nobody to do it with... it wouldn't really help. Kenta had done this before with his doton control with his mother quite a while back, and it had helped. He created a spike of chakra with his hands and showed them to Hinata, then would motion by moving his hands backwards and forwards, like dancing if you would. But the thing that actually made the training effective, was that you would make mistakes by putting in the wrong amount or not enough?
If there wasn't enough chakra, a spike wouldn't be made, too much chakra and you'd simply lose it. Like a game, really.
