"imitations of strength". "No matter how many people you may lose, you have no choice but to go on living." IMPROVISE
Shigure had used a similar tactic before, during the Chuunin Exams. When he was fighting Himish Haruka, from the Hidden Stone Village, he knew he couldn't really fight against her Genjutsu prowess, so instead, he forced her to spend all of her chakra and then pass out due to chakra exhaustion. It was a complicated tactic but one that can be highly effective if used properly. Still, this was no exam bout, so Shigure didn't have the mindset of winning no matter how; this was a training session so that both of them could grow to become stronger, better shinobi, hone their skills and break through their limites.
"This level of speed is indeed becoming natural... I'm close, and this was a necessary test. It can be used in battle, and it is extremely useful." he thought to himself as he continued to run backwards, his Byakugan guiding him so that he could safely keep Kojirou at bay, while at the same time not hitting any tree or rock. His eyes also allowed him to see the level of strain the Honou boy was suffering, the jutsu he was using was extremely taxing on his already injured body, and the added difficulty to mould his chakra was bringing it to a whole other level.
Kojirou responded to Shigure's taunt, showing a level of determination that made the Chuunin think of the Will of Fire of his homeland. Widening his smirk he nodded to the boy. "Then show me your mettle, Kojirou!" he said in a rather boisterous tone.
Grabbing a scroll, the running Genin summoned three fire balls from it, which floated a top of. Then, using his blade to conduct that chakra and sending a flame slash towards Shigure. The speed of the technique managed to match that of the Hyuuga, and it was going to hit him if he didn't do anything. "Incredible, he has a very good head!" he thought to himself, as he finally stopped running and instead, started spinning where he was. "Hakkeshou Kaiten!" he exclaimed as his body vanished from sight. Instead, there was a big sphere of blue chakra all around Shigure, rotating at over 1100 kilometres per hour, successfully blocking the flame slash.
As he stopped rotating, the ground beneath him became a crater of sorts, and his smirk was wider than ever. He wondered if Kojirou could still fight, but even his chakra reserves were starting to run a bit low with his constant effort. "I couldn't avoid that one, it was an incredible idea. I had to use my ultimate defence." he commended the Genin, going back to his Gentle Fist fighting stance as he waited to see what Kojirou would do.
"So what if it seems hopeless? If it were me, I still wouldn't give up. Embrace your dreams. And, whatever happens, protect your honour as a Shinobi, for the price of freedom is steep."

SA used:『 BYAKUGAN 』 Like all members of his clan, Shigure also has the famous Byakugan as one of his signature traits. Naturally, Shigure’s eyes have a near 360 degrees field of vision around himself, save for a small blindspot at the back of his neck above the thoracic vertebra. His eyes are capable of seeing through most objects, giving him great perception of his environment, and making quite the challenge to surprise or ambush the Hyuuga when his doujutsu is activated. Having been seriously trained to develop his sight, Shigure managed to increase the range of his Byakugan to a respectful 2 kilometres range, which makes him quite the competent tracker in missions. His eyes also allow him to see infrared, through chakra barriers, discern clones from their makers, determine colour of someone’s chakra, and determine if a genjutsu is being used or not.
He is also very capable in his ability to see chakra, including the chakra circulatory system inside a person’s body, thus allowing him to easily identify the precise location of the tenketsus, which is paramount in the use of the Gentle Fist to its maximum capacity, power, and finesse. On top of it all, Shigure’s training and experience as a people’s person allowed him to add this insight to the power of his Byakugan, thus making him quite competent at reading people’s emotions. Therefore, when using his Byakugan, Shigure can usually detect if someone is lying through the impulses of their brain, heartbeat, and general body language. Moreover, when focused on an opponent, Shigure can even anticipate their reactions based on their muscles and body functions prior to the execution of an action.
『 ENHANCED COMBAT SPEED 』 What Shigure lacks in physical strength, he definitely makes it up in the combat speed department. Having trained the Gentle Fist since his early childhood, the Hyuuga learned that raw power and superior strength were borderline useless for his style since, in the end, nobody can train their inner organs to become stronger. Therefore, the chakra reliant style of the Hyuuga fighting style was more than enough for him to achieve the desired results in battle. Thus, the truly efficient way to improve his fighting capabilities was directly associated with how fast he could act and react in a fight.
Shigure’s reflexes are absurdly sharp, and he can react almost instantly to attacks, which makes him quite skilled at counter attacking with his deadly Gentle Fist, making it difficult for opponents to actually land a blow on him. In short, he can react fast to combat situations.
『 ENHANCED CHAKRA CONTROL 』 Due to the intensity of his training and his overall style as a practitioner of the Gentle Fist, as well as his Hyuuga genes, Shigure was able to develop a level of chakra control that puts him above that of his peers, equiparing himself to those a rank higher. His level of control is remarkable and allows him to optimise the usage of chakra, avoiding any unnecessary waste while using his techniques. This ability gives him an edge on the battlefield, as he is able to use more techniques, with more frequencing, while also avoiding the draining effects of running out of chakra due to waste.
『 GENTLE FIST SAVANT 』 Shigure is a natural savant at his clan’s legendary Taijutsu style despite being a sort of a late bloomer. He has developed an incredible proficiency with the techniques of his clan, that allows him to stand out above even his fellow kinsmen. With his current level of understanding and application of his techniques, the heir to the clan brings incredible precision and swiftness to his attacks, rarely ever missing his mark once an attack is launched.
Guided by his potent doujutsu, he became an expert at shutting down his opponents chakra network, as well as combining the techniques of the clan together to deliver even more powerful attacks. He can, while using the Gentle Fist and it's techniques, also land more blows per second than most of his peers, moving so swiftly that it’s even hard to keep up. This makes him an incredibly dangerous opponent to fight at close quarters, as he is capable of giving even higher ranking Shinobi a real challenge. Technique used:NAME: Hakkeshō Kaiten [Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven] RANK: B CHAKRA USAGE: Low CLASSIFICATION: Taijutsu DESCRIPTION: A secret jutsu only handed down within the main house of the Hyuga clan. For this technique the user is expected to expel a huge amount of chakra from all the chakra points from a user’s body and start rotating their bodies. This will create a barrier around the user, which will shield them from nearby attackers, tossing and deflecting them away. The user can actively control the size of the sphere and thus make it bigger or smaller depending on the situation. If the user can not spin, however, their protective field will become weak and vulnerable.
