Raika is feeling pretty proud of herself for making her own sensei retreat after her attack, even if her strike missed the mark. It was a show of improvement for her capabilities as a shinobi, and proof that she would be hard to fight against even when an opponent had a weapon. She hoped that such a situation wouldn't happen in the Exams, though; as skilled as she felt, she didn't know what tricks some of those Genin might try if they went up against her. Raika herself is also breathing a bit heavily, having to dodge around the attacks as much as she had was actually even more physically draining than attacking. The compliment to her skill was definitely only making her more eager to continue the training spar with her sensei.
"Oh, well, I've been training in Taijustu for a long time, ya see..."
It was likely even longer than Suzu-chan might have been able to guess, since Raika had needed to learn evading attacks in Kawa in order to stay alive. She'd had to keep herself away from the grips of the cannibals, and even a few of the very hungry animals that the swamp lands in the darkest parts of Hi no Kuni were home to. She's curious now about what her sensei means about a new approach, but she's clearly eager to learn what Suzu-chan has in store for her. She watches through her Byakugan as Suzune performs her handseals and focuses her chakra, which coalesces into balls of flame floating in the air. Raika thinks she can see something else as the fireballs form, something inside those balls of flame, but she's not sure of herself just yet. Perhaps with more training, she'll figure out what exactly she was seeing in each of those balls of flame. For now, she was told that some of her opponents will instead use Ninjutsu in order to attack her, but Raika herself has a plan for just such a situation.
"Oooh... Yeah, that could be bad if I relied on Taijutsu too much to fight back against Ninjutsu..."
She takes a deep breath to prepare herself as the fireballs and even Suzune herself approach at a rapid pace, but Raika is already moving into a different position, finally taking up the actual fighting stance that the Hyuga were famous for. It was, after all, the most powerful defensive option that Raika herself had access to... In this position, Raika begins spinning herself around as all of her tenketsu emit chakra at the same rate, and the rotation becomes a swirling dome of protection, blocking out the fireballs and momentarily turning the protective dome of chakra into an infernal blaze before the fireballs expend all their energy. The usefulness of her Kaiten technique is further proven by keeping Suzune back, at a far enough distance and with enough defense that the attempted sword swing shouldn't be able to make direct contact with the Hyuuga inside.
Still, the amount of defense the dome needed to provide made Raika somewhat exhausted once she stops the spinning, causing the dome she'd created to disappear as she breathes heavily and dabs at her forehead to wipe off the sweat. ”
