BaransuKenzai: Lagi
 stood with his arms crossed about his chest and with little hesitation 
he let out a brief gust of air from his lungs. He revealed to be a 
seemingly older male with light grey hair cut at the bottom, brown skin,
 pale blue eyes, high cheekbones, lean build, and blackened earrings 
with small red orbs attached to their ends. He possesses black, Kanji 
tattoos that run across his back and along his arms. Lagi had been here 
for hours on end meditating merely waiting for his next opponent his 
training session with his new found student had come and passed. This 
soon brought a spout of anger about Lagi’s attitude as the bird began to
 pass by over head the sounds of their blissful chirping almost calming 
with each passing moment. He soon began practicing a series of 
aggressive taijutsu techniques had someone been watching him in his time
 of practice they would only find a series of violently demolished 
sparring dummies. He could be seen bludgeoning away at each of the 
mokujin that found themselves crossing his path. This in turn revealed 
to be taking place at the third training ground of konoha. Konoha 
shinobi once walked on these grounds, and trained them to be the best. 
The grounds was a little ways out of Konoha, where a great opening area 
within the forest gave to a small river and some worn-out areas where 
people had fought so viciously and often that the grass has simply 
withered away. Lagi had been waiting for Garrick the currently prized 
member of his team and new arrival. This new arrival had still remained a
 mystery to Lagi himself but only time would tell how far their journey 
would take them.
Kare: Ashi
 and Chamaru weren't up to much today. The two simply wandered the 
village and watched the villagers do their own thing. For the most part,
 Ashi was wandering around looking for potential shinobi to challenge to
 spars so that he could improve his own skill and get to know the 
fighting style of his fellow comrades. Chamaru was just there in case 
Ashi found someone to spar and to guard him against any outside threat. 
As time passed and not much activity was coming Ashi's way, he decided 
to run to one of the local food stands to fill up his empty stomach. - 
"May I get five beef kebabs without the vegatables, a large order of 
lamb dumplings, and two uncooked kebabs for my partner here." "Sure 
thing!" - As the cook grilled the meat, the scent of the well seasoned 
meat flushed Ashi's nose causing his mouth to water and drool slightly 
from the side, even his eyes began to tear up abit. - "Are you okay?" 
"Oh it just smells so good!" "Ahaha! Thank you! It's a secret family 
recipe that adds a kick to the meat." - After a while, the cook gave 
Ashi his order and placed the raw meat on a plate for Chamaru to enjoy. 
Chamaru devoured the meat within a matter of minutes and Ashi savored 
his food and began to walk towards the training ground, hoping to find 
someone interesting. As he arrived at the grounds, the first thing he 
noticed was a rather angry individual beating through a set of training 
dummies utilizing basic taijutsu moves. - "Hm..." - He thought to 
himself as he began to approach him slowly. As he neared the individual,
 he kept his distance so that he wasn't confused with one of the 
training dummies in his fit of rage. Ashi sat down on the ground with 
his legs crossed, eating his food and watching the guy train while 
Chamaru laid down beside him. -
Keruberosu: |GH| -Garric 
awoke in his hospital bed for the last time today, It had been nearly a 
week and a half since the incident with the Vespers and the death of his
 best friend Kazuki Uzumaki. His body still had a few days left to heal 
completely so he sported his top covered full cast with heavy cloth 
bandages. And a bandage still covering his forehead now the side of his 
face cleared and healed now able to be exposed to the outside forces. 
Garric would hang his legs off the side of the bed as he stood and 
stretched only to bounce back and wince slightly in pain. His back not 
fully healing from the explosive but he knew he had a meeting today with
 Lagi. It would slightly awkward considering neither of them have talked
 since his initial death and Lagi was a man who usually hid his emotions
 and now within the village he was a hated figure. Once Garric put on 
his metal stick slink and his smoke bombs at his side. Along with 
hitching his pauldron to his right shoulder like he usually had it the 
nurse who had been taking care of him entered. “Garric-San, I’ve 
brought you your daily pills as well as some water.” Garric would take 
the pills and place them onto his tongue, then his other hand reached 
for the water and he chugged them down quickly. Making a disgusted face 
afterwards the taste of the pills always left such a putrid taste in his
 mouth. The nurse stood there with the plate behind her back and was 
waving her frilly skirt slightly as she moved. Garric would smile once 
more before speaking. “Thank you for taking care of me during that rough
 time. I knew hauling my carcass wasn’t the fun nest of times but I 
appreciate you nonetheless.” She would blush a bright pink and take a 
slight bow before speaking. “It’s always an honor to help a shinobi, You
 are so strong.” Garric would laugh and scratch the back of his head. 
“Not strong enough apparently, but oh miss. I never got your name. Mine 
is…” Before he could even finish the sentence she said “Garric Hyuga. I 
know it by heart at this point. My name is Lyra.” Garric would go up to 
Lyra and plant a soft kiss on her cheek before moving to the door. 
“Thanks again Lyra, I’ll be back one day I’m sure.” And just like that 
smooth move Garric struck again and he was out of the doors of the 
hospital and into the streets of Konoha almost as If he never left. 
Crazy how he could have so much confidence but deep within himself he 
was an emotional hurricane at the moment. While having some internal 
introspection he eventually reached training ground 3 to see a random 
Inuzuka watching Lagi smash out the dummies. Garric whispered to 
himself. “He must be taking it hard that makes two.” Instead of saying 
anything or greetings Ashi he moved past him and head straight to his 
jounin. At this point he’d be able to sense Garric’s powerful chakra- 
|GH| 
BaransuKenzai: Lagi
 soon took a moment to catch his breath. The training dummies he’d been 
bludgeoning away at had been left to nothing but a mere pile of limbs at
 this point. His rage was rather evident as a number of small craters 
decorated the training grounds. In passing he had calmed his nerves and 
with that he turned his attention to Garric as he continued his 
approach. Lagi spoke once and that was to give his apology “I’m sorry I 
should have been there” He soon extended his fist in attempt to get a 
fist bump out of Garric. It was less of a friendship gesture or rather 
it was his way of making peace with his mistakes. Lagi was hoping that 
Garric would allow him to make amends so that that squad 00 would 
continue upon its journey of success.
Keruberosu: |GH| -Upon 
seeing Lagi finally turn around his blank hues inspected the craters he 
made around the field of the training ground he could surely feel the 
pain of regret radiating of Lagi’s body. Though he would not want to 
further press the matter. When he came towards Garric he apologized for
 what had happened and extended out a fist bump. This only reigning back
 in the fact Kazuki was gone. Tears could be seen visibly swelling 
inside of Garric eyes even though his expression didn’t change. Garric 
would reach out his fist and clenched it tightly against Lagi’s own 
taking a long look into his eyes. “I never blamed you for what happened.
 I was too naïve to think the shinobi world was a beautiful place. If 
only I had warned Kazuki of this. He’d still be here.” Garric would 
stumble on the few of the words in that sentence but he was able to get 
his point across very clearly. Garric wanted to show compassion to Lagi 
knowing from what little he did know of his background that this man. 
Would more likely considered a brick of a personality with no empathy 
before someone who could show genuine compassion for others. “Lagi I’m 
here to stay I won’t abandon you or Squad 00 not only for myself. But I 
know Kazuki would want to watch me fight on. I’m the pride of the Hyuga 
damnit.” The tears finally left his cheek and then once again like a 
phoenix from the ashes the confident and brash Garric he knew and 
admired returned back to full stead. The aura his person but off warm 
and bright it was almost contagious of sorts. Afterward Garric would 
stretch himself out slowly now retracting his fist from his Sensei so 
the moment would get less awkward at least on Garric’s end of the 
spectrum. “So I remember getting this letter two days ago to meet her, 
but what exactly for?” He’d fold his arms over his chest some open spots
 of his bandage exposing as he did so. He awaited an answer or response 
of sorts.- |GH|
Kare: -
 Ashi was just there enjoying his kebabs as another individual wandered 
into the field and approached the guy training. At first he didn't have 
any idea who he was, but then it hit him. It was the Hyuga that was 
apart of that mission that resulted in the death of one of his 
classmates. He paused for a moment with a piece of the kebab clenched in
 between his front teeth and he just stared at him from behind. Chamaru 
began to whine a bit and bumped his head against Ashi's thigh. - "Yeah I
 know." - He said lowly and then swallowed the piece of beef with a 
little smile on his face. His head tilted a bit as the conversation went
 on and the guy training his taijutsu said that they were going to start
 training to learn a collaboration jutsu. Ashi just stared at him 
surprised to find out that he was actually apart of this man's squad. 
His nostrils flared up a bit as he inhaled deeply, taking in their 
scents and then stood up with his last kebab in his mouth. - "I've got 
lamb dumplings if you guys haven't had lunch yet." - He offered his own 
lunch, but he would've liked to enjoy each and every one of those 
dumplings all alone with Chamaru. -
BaransuKenzai: Lagi
 shook his head at Ashi’s offer of lunch and awaited garrics response. 
Had his answer been no as well Lagi would show a brief grin and turn his
 attention towards the pup that had been accompanying Ashi. He soon 
began to speak explaining to them both the purpose of combination jutsu.
 Of coarse Lagi knew that Ashi would already understand the basics as 
his clan was a great example of how it worked. “Garric I Hope you’re 
able to perform with you injuries, If you two are both comfortable 
showing the abilities you’d feel most comfortable combining that would 
be a great start.” He’d look between the both of them and await their 
responses to see if they were open to the idea.
Keruberosu: |GH| -Garric 
would turn around to look at the Inuzuka who he previously passed up and
 then a light bulb appeared in his head. It all made sense why the guy 
was just randomly sitting there. He was the newest addition to squad 
double 00. At the offer of food Garric could only hold out his hand and 
proceed to say. “Oi, toss it here then. Also the names Garric if you 
didn’t know.” For a boy that just previously completely successfully an 
S-rank and watched his best friend die you wouldn’t even be able to tell
 the difference. He still acted like a bright light in a seemingly dark 
world even though his body surely told a different tale. After hearing 
what his sensei had in mind for the first meeting of the two he would 
eat the kebab like a savage within a few seconds and proceed to hurl the
 stick into the air onto his right. After chewing and swallowing the 
food he would then close his eyes briefly and exhale a large amount of 
air from his tight chest. Garric would enter the traditional gentle fist
 stance his left arm outwards with an open palm. His right arm tucked in
 close to his abdomen with a balled fist and his legs about shoulder 
distance apart. The intensity and focus now on his face was apparent and
 he was ready to take things serious now. “Oi Inuzuka, it’d be nice to 
introduce yourself ya’know.” After saying said statement Garric would 
begin to spin as he released a large thick amount of chakra from every 
Tenketsu point on his body as he yelled out. “Eight Trigrams: REVOLVING 
HEAVEN!” Using that thick cloak he spun with an intense and rotated so 
fast his body and figure couldn’t be seen out of the ball and while he 
did this it began to destroy the earth beneath him and that was 
encompassed by it. The power causing some strong winds to blow out into 
the field and hit there bodys as they stood there.- |GH|
In the wake of watching the two work in such great
conjunction together Lagi had come to the conclusion that these two were indeed
prime candidates for this training. The moment the two had come to a stop and
the ground around them had been carved out Lagi began to clap rather slowly;
soon after speaking with little hesitation. “I think we’ll call it Eight
Trigrams Heavenly Fang” He’d look at the pair shortly after before pointing to
the training dummy that was still standing from Lagi’s previous training. “I
want to see you two work together to take out the dummy his names ‘jeff’ ”  He chuckled to himself a bit as the dummy
took a stance of its own ready to take on the pair.
Kare: - Ashi stood there with his arms crossed over his
chest, letting his breathing steady. He paid close attention to Lagi as he
named their collaboration jutsu and gave them further instructions. Ashi nodded
and crouched down on all fours and let his chakra spew out of his pours like
violent ocean waves before he sprung into action. He sprinted towards Jeff at a
steady pace and then pushed himself forward with his hands like a cheetah
chasing after its prey. He kept his eyes locked on Jeff and as he came within
range, he molded his chakra over his nails and sliced right through Jeff's
base, causing the dummy to begin to fall backwards. Ashi swiftly positioned
himself behind Jeff. He placed his hands behind him and sprung his legs
outwards to kick Jeff in the back and effectively knocking him into the air. -
"Now!" - Ashi retracted his leg and crouched down like a dog sitting
and sprung himself up into the air like a grasshopper. He kept his arms
extended outwards with his claws prepped to slice through his target and spun
rapidly in a clockwise direction causing him to leave a trail behind him;
creating the appearance of a twister engulfed in light blue chakra. Ashi
charged at Jeff's side and rammed into him, tearing off a bit of the oak wood
and knocking him towards Garric's position. While Jeff soared through the sky,
heading towards Garric, Ashi began to skid across the ground nearby Garric,
preparing to orbit around Garric's hiden jutsu and tear through Jeff with the
increased speed. Although it is nearly impossible for Ashi to see while in his
state, he marked Jeff with his own scent when he cut it off its base and kicked
it into the air; trying to track it via the scent of oak wood was slightly
difficult because of the scent of the surrounding trees being carried by the
passing breeze. –
|GH| -Garric would simply stand there with his arms crossed.
His Byakugan not currently activated but the Tenketsu points throughout his
body oozing a heavy chakra that could be felt. Garric would watch his new
teammate’s actions he would quirk in brow in questioning as he spoke within his
own mind. “Why is he exerting himself so much, especially just for a dummy? Is
he trying to prove something? Guess I won’t know until we become more
acquainted. “Watching the passing fang at work was surely a spectacle Garric
couldn’t believe their clan was known for such high velocity movement. It
didn’t use anything but there physical body and a little chakra for propulsion.
The Inuzuka and Hyuga weren’t that different in reality both having
enhancements to their bodies that make them more of a threat in combat without
the need of Ninjutsu that isn’t of hiden origin. Once Ashi began the downward
descent and the dummy was soon to come into contact with Garric. Garric still
having his arms crossed with see Ashi coming like a human drill with so much
speed he thought Ashi probably couldn’t see a damn thing in that state. Now
with Ashi in 10 ft before striking Garric in a moment’s notice he dropped the
arms that were crossed and spun as he yelled out. “EIGHT TRIGRAMS HEAVENLY
FANG” All the Tenketsu he had built up previously formed into a large crushing
orb of chakra that currently spun at a top speed of around 665 miles per hour.
He kept his hand on the outmost part of the rotation once Ashi hit the orb
Garric hands forcefully guided him into a single spin at the immense speed and
then released him with a jerking motion upwards so he’d be like a chakra guided
spear directly into the training dummy. Ashi would or should be breaking far
past the speed of sound at this point and the dummy would no longer exist on
this plane once he hit it.- |GH|
In the very moment that Ashi had taken off to unleash his
barrage of attacks there was only dust in his wake. The moment he came in
contact with Jeff he had sent his  now
limp wooden body into the air with little hesitation. In seconds it was as if
they had read each other with ease. Jeff’s body had been placed over Garric’s
position seamlessly and in those moments Garric had thrown Ashi like a spear.
During Ashi’s flight Lagi had covered his ears as the very air shook around
them. The few leaves that decorated the ground fluttered away from their
location in such a violent manner in those moments. The sound the technique
made rippled through jeffs wooden body with ease as it shattered to pieces.
Lagi was indeed impressed that someone so young had done something like this in
such a perfect manner. He soon began to speak “I’m impressed this is something
most jonin can’t pull off yet you two did it with ease. Now how bout we call it
a day and let you three rest up.”
Kare: - As Ashi drove his entire body through Jeff's torso,
it exploded into thousands of small pieces of wood and Ashi's hands suffered
minor injuries from bits of wood impaling themselves into the flesh of his
hands, but it didn't inflict much pain. He shifted his body weight and began
plummeting down to the ground like a meteorite and as he came into contact with
the ground a massive crater formed with Ashi kneeling in the center. A violent
shockwave passed through the ground, causing the trees closest to the area of
impact to uproot slighly and lean away from Ashi; Garric and Lagi can feel the
power of the shockwave travel through every fiber of his being. Ashi stood up
and shook off his dust in his hair as he wandered over to one of the leaning
trees to lay his gaze upon Garric and Lagi. - "If you need me I'll be over
here." - He shouted out to them and began to munch on one of the apples
hanging from a branch above his head. –
