"What, a man can't wish a friend well?" Hotarubi walked backwards out the front of the hospital as he was being escorted by three Iwagakure shinobi: not ANBU, mind, but enough. "Keep it up, just see what happens." One of them said. "We're keeping our eyes on you." The other threatened. "Yeah, bite me." Hotarubi would turn, waving a finger as he left. He had much more colorful language to use, but 'choke and die' wasn't going to help him, much less to the possible threat of being expelled from the exams for his conduct outside of it. "Oi! Kid! Fuck off!" a noise came out before one of the windows closed. He turned back around, swivelling as quickly as he had processed what had been said directed at him but the window had been closed, he scanned the windows, searching for whom it might have been: but even if he knew which room it had been, he didn't have a face, but he couldn't march back in there. Hotarubi put his hands on his waist. Frustrated - but ultimately unable to do anything about it. Atagi wouldn't have been able to open the window anyway. With that being said and done, he would exit the hospital grounds, and needed. Had to, go work off some steam. Had to be strong - the idea that he had somehow accidentally let one live was ... beneath him. He had accomplished what he'd wanted, right? Well, the night had passed and before he fell asleep, he was filled with an intense sense of pleasure and he couldn't quite work out why, but it had likely been with how the match had gone, and not to suggest his dreams had been glorifying the gore, but although he hated the crunch of the arms in his earthen rock skull, the dynamic pleased him. He made his way out of the hospital, and directly through crowds of people. It was the most direct route, past the shops, the bench that he and Reiji had been sitting at. Tutting, and grumbling to himself. It wasn't as bad as he had been when he had been tired but Hotarubi was just sick of being a weakling - and for a moment, he wished that Nageku had become a Genin with him and so they could've dealt with this together. Eventually, he did come to a standstill amidst the people - only because there was a crossroad, a T-junction. Move left, to the alliance gyms: or to the right, where he could find himself somewhere quiet. He had made it clear on previous ocassions he wanted to train his Doton alone where nobody could see him - so if it was public, he needed to only train his Tai... But he opted for privacy, and took the right, where the crowds dispersed amongst the shinobi population.

"ethos of violence". "No matter how many people you may lose, you have no choice but to go on living." STALKER Shigure left Atagi's room, not losing track of Hotarubi thanks to his Byakugan. The Waterfall shinobi had been escorted out of the hospital as the staff suspected he had bad intentions, and they didn't seem to be wrong in that. He didn't mind letting the kid have a head start, for he could keep track of him for eight kilometres, and only started following him after he had already left the hospital and walked a far distance. After passing through crowd of people, the Genin decided to head towards a more private area, which meant he was likely going to train something he didn't want others to see. Narrowing his eyes, Shigure followed him that way from a more than safe distance, and once the boy arrived at his more remote training grounds, Shigure went to a different one, but not for training. Instead, he would just lean against a tree, Byakugan activated as he observed what the Genin was about to do. Part of him wanted to approach him right away, but he was following his brain rather than his heart. "Come on, you little psycho... Show me what you can do. I need to know how you caused Atagi-kun's so much damage." he thought to himself, doing his best to keep his anger at bay. "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."

This time it was Doton training and more dyanmic fighting: the previous he'd been half out of chakra and in conservation mode. But this time? The exams? He would fuck them all up. They would all have to be dominated. Hotarubi would start quite simply: once he had found himself somewhere adequate and checked for people (of which, there were none) he would do the worst set of stretches known to man by the light movement of his body. A movement of the neck here, a single roll of a single arm, then he got started. He started to fight: shadowboxing. Then the fun started to come into it as he tried to start interweaving his Doton work. A gut punch turned into a quick blade, adding on a few extra feet. Then back: a sweep of the legs, followed by a spring jump - and his arm cocked back and up, to do a downward hammer blow: except his arm turned into a hammer as it smashed into the ground. Another example was a kick: except, when he had shadow 'hit' somebody, the leg would grow out, around the person, and what it would look like on a person was Hotarubi pulling his leg back, and them having a hook added into the back of their kneecaps. Dynamic Nintaijutsu by the use of yours truly: an example for the ages. He was focusing much more on speed, though he kept a much greater eye out for people, and he did see one passing by, to which he stopped, coughing at the ground as he scuffed it with his heel, and waited for them to be gone before he continued. And that continuation would be more attacks of this nature, although he preferentially liked to use blade arms, and hammer strikes. Then the next: a blade arm, out - an attack that led to a punch, and then the arm would balloon up from the end - like a mace, spiking. Yes, it took chakra: yes, he would work through it. But what if it had been someone with Suiton? He had to use his human body too. Though the chakra would be negligible, Shigure would see his body reaming with chakra as he used the abilities, and his human body would also be doing taijutsu, only, he wasn't creating any hammer arms or stuff of the like. A true hybrid mix. He did wonder though... if it would be quiet enough for him to work on his transformations? That was one thing he wanted to do, which was to create his version of Doka: the one that would instil his face across the world, the one that would be known as Hotarubi - but such things were not as simple for less artistic of the two brothers.

"ethos of violence". "No matter how many people you may lose, you have no choice but to go on living." OBSERVATION As much as he disliked this brat, he had to admit that his technique was rather impressive. It didn't look like a Kekkei Genkai, that much he could say, so perhaps it was a Hijutsu of some sort. It did somewhat resemble what the dammed Hozuki could do, and that irritated him further, as a Hozuki was responsible for the death of his uncle. "This is troublesome... I wonder what are the limits of his transformation. Can he just completely modify his body, or just his limbs? How does his body work?" he wondered. One thing was certain: he didn't want anyone watching him, for when he passed by and before he could get far enough, the boy stopped his drills. Which meant that he likely didn't want people to learn how he fought, or to discover any weakness of this technique of theirs. Once Shigure was back out of sight and mind, the boy continued his training. At this point, Shigure would also be snooping further inside of Hotarubi's body, trying to see his organs to see if there was any connection to his technique, or any visible weakness other than the one he believed he had due to the nature of his Earth Release body: Lightning Release. "He should be weak to lightning... Which is good... Miroru-chan has lightning, but not the others... Itsuki can only use wind, and Azarea can only use earth and water... But at least she has Genjutsu. From his form, he is good with Taijutsu, but not good enough to say this is his main weapon... I can tell as much." as a Taijutsu master, he knew how to judge someone's fighting skill properly. But as good as his insight was, he needed more info, and more time, and as such, he continued to just observe from afar. "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."

The night was young and unfortunately the young Okadan had to spend the evening keeping watch on things, she wasn’t exactly expecting anything in particular and wasn't to enthused about spending her night this way. She did hear about some wild commotion that happened at the hospital after she had went to go and visit Uta earlier that afternoon, to make sure her burn wounds were healing properly.

As she made her way through the road trying to blend in with the people she dawned her white and orange sweater, along with her other gear and she’d keep an eye on the streets for anything out of the ordinary. Things were quiet for the most part but out in the crowd she spotted something an ever so familiar Byagukan wielding bastard making his way down the street and with a purpose, he looked to be heading towards the training area.

His eyes had that familiar bloodshot look that she despised so much. "Just where you goin' in such a hurry?” the girl would wonder to herself. If he was just going through the streets that'd be one thing, but wih eyes like those something had to be up. The last time she saw him use it, it was during a fight so he had to be looking for trouble, sensing something suspicious the girl would do her best to try and tail him watching for any subtle movements. There were others also watching the area she wondered if anyone saw anything?

bleed it out

The exams were in full swing and while the number of participants had been cut down significantly there were still plenty of visitors and exam hopefuls enjoying their stay in Kuwana, and that meant that patrols were never ending. Even at night. When people should have been resting. While Ouritsu wanted to gripe and complain about being assigned guard duty at night --in the training grounds no less-- he knew it would fall on deaf ears. Being in the city itself would have at least given him something to do since there were actually people over there, and having to handle some drunk tourist or whatever would have been loads better than milling about a mostly empty training ground.

That was.. until the sound of a rather heavy blow echoed through the area. Was someone actually out here training at this hour? It made sense to keep some secrecy to one's abilities and what not but the villages had designated areas to help avoid that kind of thing so would it have killed them to wait until the morning? Ah whatever, a quick walk by to see that everything was cool then the chunin would be off, nothing more nothing less. As he neared the source of the sound it became clear that someone was indeed training out here and he looked to be in the middle of some pretty intense stuff.

The pink hair was recognizable but even with a million guesses the Nohime wouldn't have remembered the kids name, though him being part of the exams was sufficient enough to ward away any thoughts of wrong doing. Just a kid getting some practice in. Ouritsu had no plans of sticking around long and from where he was standing the chunin had no idea there was another person keeping tabs on the kid but their special eyes would probably pick up on the Nohime's presence.

Shigure would notice that he did develop organs: but they came and disappeared. As he worked as a human, he had organs: but he wasn't doing any change of limbs, and his chakra system was alight with the use of chakra. But when he had been watching earlier: Hotarubi wasn't using chakra, and he was able to manipulate his body? How?! He, being the next training area over had zero idea of any of the conversation taking place next door and was working on his own Taijutsu at the time. So he was doing exercise. Pushups, situps; going the whole hog. He wanted to work his body down, get it to that level of granular efficiency that whether earth or human, he would be able to do what he needed to do. And for the time without being interrupted, that was what he would do: physical exercise. Squat jumps. Box jumps. Jump from side to side: anything to use the large muscles of his body, and he still weighed a lot. It was evident that it took up a bit more energy for him to use his body in this way plus the active use of chakra. But still, Hotarubi was in his element and nobody would take that away from him. Perhaps there was an area outside of Kuwana which would have been useful? Maybe there was that... technique he could try? There had been a few things he'd tried to learn before leaving but had to principally get to the exams first, and since he had a bit of time between round 2 and 3... there was some time to learn them. Hotarubi grinned, once again. This could - or would, be a good day. In spite of it all, the smile faded and he continued his work.

"ethos of violence". "No matter how many people you may lose, you have no choice but to go on living." FAKE PRACTICE AND CONCLUSIONS Thanks to his Byakugan, he had noticed that Okada Taki had been following him, and even though he didn't show any trace of that in his expression, he was annoyed at the girls constant obsession with him. He knew what motivated her: she wanted to find any reason to accuse him of wrongdoings, just like it happened during that time in the alley. Still, she didn't know how the Byakugan functioned in all its abilities, so he wasn't too concerned about that. Moreover, people who were just accompanying the participants were allowed to use the Training Grounds and do their own trainings, so he was very much so in the clear. Still, the girl wasn't really alone. There was another Rock shinobi tagging along with her. "Can't wait to leave this dumpster of a place..." he would think to himself. The purple-haired lad seemed to be watching over Hotarubi instead, and that was good. Now, to keep things more intriguing, Shigure would then assume his fighting stance, and then start making some movements, some of the most basic katas of the Gentle Fist. Nothing too revealing, and the movements were slow and calculated, something that was rather common for basic martial arts training. Moving around, however, did not disrupt his ability to still watch Hotarubi from afar thanks to the capabilities and range of his Byakugan. "There, get bored with my katas..." he thought to himself, wondering how long the blonde would linger around, if she thought he was just doing his own routine training, as he was doing most days since he arrived in Kuwana. Still, he was impressed with what he saw inside of Hotarubi. His organs would come and go, disappearing completely and then reappearing. But unlike some other people who could merge with elements, it seemed like the kid had it all upside down in a way. Whenever chakra would circulate, that was when his organs would show. It was odd to say the least. "What an odd technique... But if he can really turn into stone... Then only lightning would truly affect him. Water would probably be a terrible idea, considering the fact that Earth Release has advantage over it, and Wind, Fire and Earth wouldn't do much. I think I could still hurt him with the Gentle Fist, it is chakra based after all, but there are no Hyuugas in these exams. I need to talk to the others... If they don't have lightning, they would be better off just forfeiting." he thought to himself. It was impossible for Shigure to know that his weakness was actually water. It went against all principles of chakra nature and its advantages. But one thing he knew: most people couldn't defeat Hotarubi, and they would most likely die if they tried. "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."

As the girl would make her way towards him, he’d make his way to the training field and watch him attempt to train confronting him directly. "You got a license for dhose pearly whites…eyebawl boy?” the girl would say crossing her arms as she came towards the boy as he stood on the training field she didn’t trust him she figured that he was up to no good, she’d seen those eyes of his get utilized on two occasions during his fights in the Chunin exams and his fight with her, she’d also seen it during the fight with Shodaime it was meant for combat but if he wasn’t fighting anyone why was he using it.

"I don’t see any danga around so why have em on, on ya way here?” the girl would say wanting answer as to what he was doing it was a rather strong accusation but something was off here. And she needed to get to the bottom of it. "So you gonna explain yourself or what…You've been causing trouble awl week?” the girl would wait for a response he probably wasn't going to give her one she had no actual authority but, still having a dojutsu active on the training grounds is one thing but keeping it active in public is cause for concern.

Across the field she’d notice another individual training the Takigakure shinobi from before, Hotarubi his name was she had heard he caused quite the dust up in the exams judging by the murmurings of some of the other genin but to what end she wasn’t sure he slipped into the radar out of the corner of her eye whilst she waited for a response.

The kid was committed Ouritsu had to give him that. Full body workout in the middle of the exams when so many others were probably licking their wounds was impressive and most importantly: normal. Late hour aside the chunin had seen nothing out of the ordinary and he had done his due diligence to put his conscious at ease; the last thing he wanted to do was break the kid's concentration by interrupting his training session so it was time to dip out.

Ouritsu would be sure to give a wide berth to the area Hotarubi was in as to not interrupt him and he figured a job well done was worth a little late night snack so instead of going back where he had been stationed the chunin continued forward through the area to get to the market area. He wasn't expecting much else to be going on out here as it was rare enough to see one person training so late so the chances of seeing more, especially with so many already cut from the exams, was slim. Alas fate would have other plans as not only would a voice come into earshot it was a familiar one, too.

Approaching from a side angle the Nohime was able to see none other than Taki questioning... a Hyuga? What was she doing out here? What was he doing out here, and from the bulging veins on the side of his face it looked like his fancy little eyes were activated. But why would they be at this hour unless... was he spying on that pink haired kid? Ok this had officially gotten weird.

"Taki-san?" Ouritsu questioned as he looked between the two. "I could be wrong but I think this guy's spying on one of the exam participants." He'd add hoping to shed a bit more light on the situation, or at the very least see what the Hyuga's reaction would be. Was passing the exams that much of a big deal that villages sent their shinobi to spy on other village's participants?

Given his perception was not as sharp or honed as the other participants, being a training field away he hadn't considered that he was being watched, no less by people of a higher rank. Did he expect squeaky rats like the other participants to sneak up and watch him into the evening? Absolutely. That's why he kept stopping and looking around, Other than the designated... chunin exams people? They kept on coming around similarly to how they had been on the lookout since round one. So, of course, he paid it no mind and only worked on his Hijutsu when other people were not around... but he wanted to train his Doton ninjutsu too! He'd been building a developing repertoire of techniques, both of an offensive and defensive kind; because absolute fear could manifest in different ways. In the Yamakira specifically, it was why he thought the Doka and Oka had been created. Not only was it powerful, it struck fear into the hearts of enemies. But - actual doton techniques were useful. The nature of utilising one's own body: perfect. Using the earth around him? Suitable. Not perfect in his mind, but with how quickly he had been able to form new structures it made sense to dominate using the earth outside his body, one impervious to Suiton. One impervious to weak assassins: which was one of the reasons he'd developed the earth sensory abilities that he had. Ultimately, his fear was driving him there: what concerned him, were gaps that needed to be closed. One thing he really wanted, was to double down on his weight: if it was true and there were people, according to Saga, being knocked out in a single punch, he wanted to be the immovable object. The breaker of chains, and the worst nightmare of each and every participant. He wanted to look them in the eye for the moment they realised they were powerless against him: Which was why he formed the seals and would raise structures all around him of various kinds. Outside his body, not made of himself: although using some split second decision making skills, would certainly only make him a more fearsome opponent. **Didn't list any actual Doton ninjutsu since they haven't been bought, is just for IC training purposes

"ethos of violence". "No matter how many people you may lose, you have no choice but to go on living." FOR REAL, LEAVE ME ALONE Things were starting to get extremely annoying for Shigure, and he couldn't wait to leave this shit hole of place called Kuwana to never come back. Just as he continued his slow and calculated kata movements of the basics of the Gentle Fist, he noticed that Okada Taki, the girl who was seemingly obsessed with hunting him and stalking him at every given opportunity, showed up, asking about his eyes. He glanced over towards her, scoffed, and continued his training. "Please don't disrupt my training. I'm on the appropriate grounds for that." he added, as he moved his arms graciously, attempting to ignore her as much as he could, but alas, she would speak again, asking why he had his doujutsu activated. "Should be fairly obvious I'm training. Plus, I'm not inclined to disclose how my Kekkei Genkai works. We are not on friendly terms." his tone was polite, but stern. But as she insisted on continuing her interrogation, he would finally pause, sigh deeply and fold his arms in front of his chest. He didn't try to reply as he could see from a mile away that another one of those annoying Rock shinobi was approaching, so he would wait until the purple-haired lad joined them so he didn't have to answer twice. Still, he couldn't help but arch one of his brows as the man accused him of spying on the other Genin using the training grounds. "You Rock shinobi are really paranoid. And yet, unable to prevent a fight between the Cloud and one of my Genin you are in charge of protecting, eh? I guess if you spent less time stalking me and instead focuses on protecting the actual participants, you would have done your job there." he sighed, shaking his head once again. "I am training, as I'm allowed to. So, would you leave me alone? I will not share details of my training, for obvious reasons. Same way I am certain you will not tell me how your Sage Mode work, Taki." no suffixes there, and while he didn't lose his polite tone, he was not pleased. "Or whatever it is you can do, kid." he added, looking towards the Nohime. "Now... If you want to know why I activated my doujutsu before, well... It was because I saw you, and I wondered if you would be following me again or not. And alas, I was right. Now, please stop bothering me." he finished. Shigure didn't deactivate his Byakugan, and although he had his arms folded, he was still paying close attention to the two Rock Shinobi before him. He didn't trust them not to try anything funny, and he wasn't going to allow them to jump him. And to make sure of that, he was assessing their muscle and brain impulses to anticipate a potential attack; he only expected the worst from Taki. However, due to that, observing Hotarubi any further was now out of question; he had an acute perception, but that special focus took away from that, even though he still scanned around, seeing no other people worth his concern in the radius of 8 kilometres.

Oiritsu would jump to the conclusion of espionage and Taki would look to him. "Eyy, let's not jump da gun, I don't like dis asshole eitha but still...we can't just say dat."

Which to be fair was quite true.

As a result, her slams, holds, submissions and suplex's are far more damaging and harder to escape from then that of a genin who is not trained in these particular abilities.

[Sage Mode]


✤ | Abilities (Imperfect Enhancement)
✤ Gorilla Grip [Grip Strength]

When transforming into Sage Mode Taki's body and overall Taijutsu prowess increase exponentially most notably her grip strength allowing her to take hold of someone with a painful amount of power amplifying her already proficient ability to grapple with an opponent making it significantly harder to be broken out of as well a deal a considerable amount of damage.

✤ | Abilities (Imperfect Enhancement)
✤ Gorilla Press [Natural Taijutsu]

When transforming into Sage Mode Taki's body Taki is able to use nature energy to harness her powers in order to make her more physically imposing than normal adding to her natural affinities with Taijutsu allowing her move faster and hit harder heavy items thus adding a good amount of power and heft to her attacks allowing her to snap bones with much less effort and outpace a good majority of her enemies with her monstrous charge.

✤ | Abilities (Imperfect Enhancement)
✤ The Immovable Force [Durability]

Due to the coarse strength of a gorilla's skin Taki is able to withstand a good amount of extra punishment allowing her to be able to withstand blows from most enemies that most shinobi wouldn't be able to normally withstand. As such blows from strong fighters are reduced by a considerable amount and when struck feel like colliding with a considerably immovable force.

bleed it out

The guy wasn't pleased with being questioned, much less with accusations of espionage and the such which to be fair who would, but a little friction wasn't going to be enough for Ouritsu to turn tail. Curiously enough the strange man and Taki seemed to be familiar with each other which made this mystery web even stickier. No matter, she would know what to do best in this situation and hopefully it wouldn't cause an international incident but considering Taki was involved that was always a possibility.

"You got a dude standing a few yards behind the only other person in this training ground aside from us with his telescope eyes activated, you telling me that isn't suspicious Taki-san?" The chunin would inquire back to the Jounin. Sure, accusing someone of spying right off the bat was a pretty heavy offense but given the details it wasn't like the Nohime had pulled his words out of thin air. "Sounds like he should be using 'em to keep track of his own kids instead of ogling someone else's." Ouritsu would add with a huff.

A bunch of feisty kids in a high stress situation was bound to have some roughhousing, but if the man was so afraid for his genin's well being maybe they needed more training.

He'd managed to do it, as well. Forming - deforming and reforming. Ninjutsu structures being made: so he could entrap them. The idea of entombing them, or putting a Taijutsu user in close quarters combat, to cut them off from running away. It was fantastic: the same idea to Atagi had been that he wanted to give them no other way out. But - it could be used as a defence. And, for that purpose, he wanted to be able to do it all quickly. His body would only grow incrementally: and quickly. He had to make sure he had his defences in order and what better way to do that than with MORE doton? A simple armor formed over his body. As a Yamakira, they had been all too aware of their own weaknesses. The difficulty in spite of everything was knowing or reacting to those techniques taking place, but it was still within his duty to prevent it where possible... to give himself a container. There would be a way to develop it in the future, to help him define his image: that was his second desire. To strike fear into the hearts of people, and it wouldn't be done by simple or plain armour. No - like his own Doka and Oka, he would need to take on an image that he would need to be feared for. But - he was completely in his own world unaware of what was happening the next field over - and with that armor, he needed to include ways for him to continue manipulating it... doton was different from himself: he couldn't just form it into something else that easily unlike his own body. So... gaps? Would that work? But it was no different to the way he'd used chakra to form his body into something larger. Exactly how the participants had seen him grow in the last round. What about using the world around him? There was almost always earth beneath him, beneath his opponents, nay- victims. He smiled, knowing that it was all going to plan.
