Welcome to Gaia! ::

[enters from Hyuuga Mansion]

Hiyomi walked up to the field and yawned. He stood in the center of the training area with his eyes closed. "Byakugan!" he said under his breath as the veins rushed to his eyes. He glanced left and right a few times, eyeing the surrounding area for usable tree limbs for the training he'd prepared for himself. He was going to see just how long he could hold his Kaiten without getting nausiated.

He made use of some of the tripwires nearby by tieing them around the more flexible tree limbs surrounding his starting position. He lined each and every wire with no more, no less than fifty weapons including shuriken, kunai, and scythe blades from his weapon scrolls. Once he was sure there were enough in place, he ran one more wire around through where he planned to stand. He quietly walked over into position and looked to make sure nobody was around to get hit.

He stepped on the wire and all at once, his weapons fired at him. He quickly readied his Hyuuga fighting stance and slid his foreward foot to start the Jutsu. "Hakkeshou Kaiten!" He balanced on his back foot and used his chakra to keep up the rotation speed. The chakra surrounded him and spun rapidly. He could hear the weapons hitting the vortex and flinging off into trees. When the weapons ceased fire, Hiyomi reached back for his scrolls and let them unroll themselves in the rotation until the whole thing looked like a spinning stream of paper.

"Tobidougu!" Assorted ninja tools flew from the rotaion and at a wooden dummy about forty meters away. Hiyomi kept the assault up for about ten seconds before slowing to a stop. He managed to get a glance at the dummy, not a single weapon missed the target. He dropped his scrolls and fell to the ground, his head spinning.

Hiyomi raised his hand and let Hazuki help him up. He brushed some of the dust of his yukata and held his forehead for a few seconds. "Using that Jutsu for too long is murder on me." He cracked a smirk and picked his scrolls back up. As he was rolling them back up and putting them away, he noticed Hazuki rubbing his head. "Are you in good enough shape to practice? I'd hate to have to go easy on you because you keep hitting your head in the morning. It's no wonder you get headaches when you use the Byakugan."

He took a quick look around to make sure there were no more traps or tripwires that would interfere with their training. When he was sure they would be safe to train, he walked back in front of Hazuki. The bright morning sun reflected the Konoha insignia on his headband on the ground. "You said you wanted to learn how to perform the Kaiten Jutsu didn't you? If that's the case, we should hurry before Sasuke shows up. First, I'll need you to conjure up ten Shadow Clones, and position them around me. Make it so I can't escape in any direction, then send them all at me at once."

Hiyomi smirked. "Allright, now watch closely." He spun his front foot along the ground almost as if to trip somebody in front of him. He shot his hands out to the side and shifted his balance to his back foot, all the while telling Hazuki exactly what he was doing. "Now you use chakra to speed yourself up and maintain the Jutsu." he said quickly as the Shadow Clones got closer to him. The chakra became visible and encased the spinning Hyuuga. "Hakkeshou Kaiten!"

As each of the clones hit the vortex, they burst into smoke. When all ten were defeated, Hiyomi stopped and wobbled a little. If he timed it right and only spun for a second, he probably wouldn't be having this problem, but who sends ten hits in all at the exact same second? When his head stoped spinning, he pushed his out away from his eyes and continued his little lesson. "That's how my father taught it to me. But Aunt Hinata has a different way of performing it. If you can't get it down pat this time around, I'll show you how she uses it."

He struck a basic hand sign and a single clone was formed right next to him. "Okay, now try out what I just told you." He pointed to Hazuki and the clone jumped through the air ready to seal off a few Chakra Points.

Hiyomi went wide-eyed, but quickly regained his calm composure. He cracked a smirk as he looked at the indentation Hazuki's attack left in the ground. "Well, I've got to say; that wasn't bad for your first shot." He looked down at his cousin laying back. He leaned in and a look of content ran across his face. "With your level of Chakra, you shouldn't have much of a problem mastering this tecnique. If you keep working at it, you'll be able to hold it for way more than just a second." He stood upright again and took a quick glance around the exercise area before turning back to Hazuki.

"I'll let you in on a little secret though. When two Kaiten are performed within each other's range, they fire out fierce Chakra-charged electricity. The tecnique is called Kaiten Nagashi." He sat himself down cross-legged across from Hazuki. "Looks like Sasuke is late again. He takes after Kakashi-sensei in a way doesn't he?"

Hiyomi caught the blurry image of a cloaked figure out of the back of his eye. He reached into his kunai holster and pulled out one of the knives. By the time he was ready to throw it, the figure had disappeared. Hiyomi carefully looked around, and after assuring himself there was nobody else around, withdrew his knife. 'Was the Byakugan just playing a trick on me?' he thought. He could've sworn that he and Hazuki were being watched for a moment.

Hiyomi took afew more quick glances around. Asside from himself and Hazuki, there was nobody around for a good mile or two. If there was somebody there, they were fast. "It's nothing" Hiyomi muttered to his cousin. He stood straight up and tried to act like he didn't just get betrayed by his own Byakugan.
