Heart to Heart, Mind to Mind - Chakra Training (Noon)

Participants: Takuya Uchiha and Kumiko Kyoko

Chakra Manipulation Training for Takuya.

☀ChikaKururugi: The woman nodded as he said that he wanted to
leave to go get food. Since she had more than enough for the day, she didn’t
really need to go anywhere. So the woman took a moment to sit down and call
over the students nearby. She shared some of her food after he left. Allowing
herself time to relax. She ate in silence and pulled out her notebook and a
charcoal pencil, the woman stated writing inside of the notebook. She was
sketching as well, and found herself making images from her memory. Things here
and there, and people she saw on occasion. She was happy with her time alone,
and quite enjoyed the work she was doing. After a bit of time, she realized
that there was a chance that Takuya would be returning soon. Perhaps another
form of training for chakra? She wondered if he had any Jutsus that required
chakra molding. She had one, that required she formed the chakra for continuous
release of objects. But perhaps he’d prefer his own form of Chakra training.
She herself could easily, and quite happily meditate again. It wasn’t that big
of a deal for her. The soft relaxation, the gentle conversation. It was enough
for the lavender haired, caramel eyed woman, she was always pleased with some
peace and relaxation. Her eyes were focused intently on the pages again as she
started sketching, her teeth catching her lower lip as she started sketching
out the scene from when they had first met. That moment with the village in the
distance below, the sky above with it’s dancing clouds. Her fingers smudged
here and there to blend the charcoal and she was quite pleased with her
handiwork. Not that she would ever share it with anyone else. Her personal
notebooks were not for sharing purposes. “Where is that man…” She muttered
softly.

Expo: Takuya would leave Kumiko and get a bite at home, eating
the food he had saved at his house and actually relaxing for a few, he laid
upon his couch until the food had fully digested. After it happened he had
decided to go and meet Kumiko once more to continue the training in Chakra
Manipulation. As he took off he would begin to walk through the streets of
Hoshigakure, his focus being to reach the training grounds without being
distracted. But before reaching the training grounds he stopped a specific
store and obtained himself a bottle of water due to thirst. He then began to
drink the bottle of water as he walked towards the training field. As he walked
he came to notice it became a bit more occupied, as Kumiko was still located in
the same area she was in last time. He then approached her slowly and said
“Sorry I took so long… was very hungry.” He laughed a bit as he took a swig
from his bottle of water. He then cleared his throat and added to the statement
“Well I am ready for more chakra training personally, will you be doing the
same training?” He asked with an innocent face expression waiting for her
reply. Takuya then decided to sit down and easily follow up with his training
as he wanted to perform this type of training above all. It might have been
very direct and to the point, but Takuya wanted to increase his chakra
manipulation more, so that he could use less chakra in his jutsus to save more
during combat. His jutsu’s were all pretty basic, but his Genjutsu’s
specifically took a great amount of chakra manipulation to actually have it
work and not crack. Not only that, it consumed a lot of his chakra due to their
high caliber in power. He continued with the same hand seal and the flowing of
his chakra as he waited for Kumiko to respond to what he had said. He also
waited to see what she wanted to train as she might have been done training in
Chakra manipulation.

ChikaKururugi: Kumiko looked up the moment he spoke and a
smile broke out on her face. Not a bright one, but one that spread slowly and
held a bit of shyness to it. Her eyes darting to the side as she looked down at
the ground. “I’m just here training whatever I can. If you want to work on that
again, I don’t mind. I enjoy it, the meditation is quite relaxing. Helps me
focus.” She said as she shifted and put herself back into the same position she
had been in before. Her legs folding and her palms face up on her knees. She
gave a small sigh, and released a long exhale. This time she wouldn’t let her
chakra color show. Just so she could play a game to see if he would even try to
sense how much she had. It was a considerable amount, considering she had only
been a Shinobi for eight years. Her eyes fluttered closed and she began
breathing again, this time pushing and moving the chakra through her body. She
had it ebb and flow, twist and sway, like the elements she controlled. “How are
you with Genjutsu? I was taught by a Kurama, so I’m not that bad at it. Most
Kyoko’s don’t delve into Genjutsu. They say it’s for… Other clans.” She said,
leaving the truth hanging in the air. She would not use his last name, not
around others around them. She would not reveal him if that was not what he
sought. It was just so hard to get over her formal training, the training that
told her that first names were for people very close.

Expo: Takuya sat calmly and continued to meditate and listened
to statements Kumiko had said. He was interested in the fact she didn’t mind
any type of training. He nodded and proceeded with what he did before, allowing
his chakra to flow while he sat down and focused on manipulation his chakra. He
then listened to the girl ask about genjutsu’s and that how was he in that
sort. Takuya remained quiet for a few seconds before responding “I am alright,
there are people who are better than me of course.” He said as he attempted his
best to disregard the question as he was an Uchiha and their Genjutsu was
powerful enough to control that of tailed beasts. Though he was very humble
about it and kept it low, he only used it on people who actually deserved to
feel the wrath of his Genjutsus. After all it would cause a huge drainage of
chakra to maintain it and enforce it upon the opponent. It was a form in which
most people who even were well versed in Genjutsu like the Kurama clan would
fall to the Uchiha. In fact the Uchiha’s Sharingan is literally the ultimate
eye in forms of removing Genjutsu. Literally the Sharingan is able to see
through all types of Genjutsu and break it with nothing but ease. Most people
have even said that the Sharingan was known to be one of the most powerful
Dojutsu’s ever known in exsistance. Though Takuya barely revealed it unless he
absolutely needed to, he listened carefully to everything as he continued to
train calmly. He sat there and waited for Kumiko’s response and reaction to the
words Takuya had expressed about his nature with Genjutsu. He then added before
he allowed her to speak “That is true, some clans are extremely well versed in
Genjutsu. Even my own is very well versed in it, though I do not speak much of
it.” Was all he said before allowing her to talk and express her thoughts on
what he had pointed out about himself.

ChikaKururugi: Kumiko remained in
that strange calm state, it was a form of meditation that many would find
beyond difficult. Not many people liked to just sit and enjoy the ebb and flow
of the world around them. The woman’s breath left in her body in long even
patterns, as she kept her body as relaxed as possible. “I find there are many
better than me, and some who are not. I would say I am particularly skilled,
but mostly at some forms of Genjutsu that are rarely used anymore.” She said as
she continued the soft breathing pattern. Considering Masaki had only taught
her the Hell Viewing Technique, and she had learned her other two from memories
– it was pretty obvious that they were harder to respond to if someone had no
idea what she was doing or how she was doing it. “The Kyoko’s were more focused
on information gathering. They found Genjutsu to be too taxing, then again many
of them did have lower Chakra reserves.” She murmured as she slowly pushed the
energy out from her body and pulled it back in, rolling and kneading her chakra
like a baker would with bread. A small hum suddenly started up in the back of her
throat, a relaxed hum that vibrated in her body and made her mind float just a
little. “What are your plans for the remainder of today’s training?” She asked
casually, keeping her eyes closed.

Expo: Takuya continued to control his chakra flow, making sure
none of it spilled from his body abruptly. He sighed a bit as he decided to
stop for a few minutes. He opened his eyes and heard every word Kumiko had
said. He then decided to respond with “I see I understand.” He understood her
clan had a different strong point in the entire aspect of their lineage of
ninjutsu. But Takuya was very different from it, in fact he was actually
extremely skilled in Genjutsu, but no one had been able to see exactly what he
can do with it in the village. He kept silent about his Genjutsu and he was
very good at keeping it hidden from the rest of the villagers. He then listened
to Kumiko ask about what else he would train. Takuya then thought about it
himself and tapped his chin softly thinking of what else should be worked upon.
He then noticed his Ninjutsu skill’s needed more work. He looked towards her
and said “I supposed next up for me would be ninjutsu, after all I need to
improve in it more.” He nodded saying those words as he then awaited for Kumiko
to response to what he had just stated. He was very quiet as right now he was
taking a break from the chakra manipulation training.

ChikaKururugi: Kumiko gave him a small smile as her eyes
opened and she turned her gaze to lock it on to his shoulder. So he knew she
was paying attention, without being rude by looking him in the eyes. “Ninjutsu
works well, I can just be a target if you want.” She commented as she stretched
out her legs and started to stretch out her body. A quick break before working
on Ninjutsu training, that wouldn’t be such a bad thing. She pulled out her
personal water from her large side pouches and took some drinks from it before
she looked over at him. “Don’t’ we all need a little help with our Ninjutsu. I
saw some poor kid cover himself in a cloud of smoke – while trying to do a Fire
Technique.” She mused her eyes dancing with mirth. “Anyways, enjoy your break
then we can work on Ninjutsu if you like.” The woman mused, her eyes darting
over to him again by slowly slipping away. She was still gaining confidence in
herself, but at least she was talking to this male her own age. Usually she ran
away, or completely ignored them! So that was progress right there. Progress
wasn’t a bad thing, and Kumiko knew that if she was going to heal, even almost
four years later, she’d need to move herself onwards. Being shy was one thing,
but she’d learn to adapt in time. At least, she hoped she would.
