Izumi Hyuga
D-rank
The sound of feet padding about on the Dojo's softened floor filled Izumi's ears. Her eyes however, saw almost everything.
Standing at the ready, her trainer opposite, watching her carefully, his own Byakugan active, just as was her own. Her hair was tied up in a neat bun behind her head, keeping it well clear from her face. Even her state of dress was different, mesh armor and short shorts with a slightly-too-large shirt underneath. Stepping forward, she drove her palm toward her trainer, who stepped back with ease, blocking away her strike. He made to retaliate, but her other hand was already coming around!
She struck him square on the tenketsu in his shoulder, the slight popping in her ears from dispelling her chakra. She didn't stop there. She struck his stomach, chest, leg, other shoulder... And he vanished in a puff of smoke.
Exhaling heavily, Izumi closed her eyes, returning to her ready stance. With her eyes still closed, her Byakugan inert, she simply listened to her teacher.
"Your form is improving everyday Lady Izumi... But you still have a lot to learn..."
She opened her eyes as she heard her teacher step forward. "You strike like so" he said, feigning the method of Izumi's striking, "...when it should be..."
He changed his posture only slightly, pivoted slightly more on his foot, twisted more into the strike...
Izumi nodded, not saying a word. "Again!" he called, stepping clear of the ring to allow Izumi to move freely. She silently returned to her exercises, her Byakugan activated once more.
