It was pretty often that Ari could be found at the training grounds as she sought to get stronger and to fight through her grief. Granted, this time for training Ari turned her focus into a newfound power. A power that wasn’t naturally hers, yet it not only allowed Ari to see again. It also gave her a brand new perspective of the world as well. Ari had grown to appreciate the colors and the visuality more since her time of seeing only the dark void within her mind. In this particular case, Ari seemed to have angered not just Hyuga, but also the Uchiha as well. A mere genin such as her who was effectively knocked out before the fight began was given Chika’s eyes. Chika, who was the previous clan leader of Hyuga family and despite the clan’s off-put perspective of Chika. They still respected him, and the mere sight of Ari walking around with Chika’s eyes is a major slight to them. Uchiha found it such a waste on someone who barely contributed to the war, or at the very least she seemed to have failed nearly at every turn.
Ari trained in mimicking the movements Chika demonstrated previously when they trained. Granted that wasn’t much, but even so Ari made the attempt. The Gentle Fist in practice was good, and not only did it not require too much strength to make it work. Ari also discovered that it had a similar flow as to her Water Dragon style. Truthfully she missed the ability to use suiton, but doton was really her best card to play in terms of elements. Manipulating the earth without so much as raising a hand was often her trump card.
Within the Grand Konoha Facility, Ari was originally by herself as she practiced the movements against a lone training dummy. Not exactly isolated from everything else, but Ari felt comfortable enough that she had mistaken to be alone. It was anything but that as a trio of shinobi. Seasoned ones from the looks of it that could probably pass off as jounin. All three of them had dark hair, except two had dark eyes while the third one was milky white. The kind that alarms Ari into thinking that one might be a Hyuuga. That begged the question as to whom the other two were, and while Ari wasn't using her Byakugangan she still used her sensing technique. So when the trio entered within her proximity Ari became aware of their presence.
Although Ari was glistened with sweat from training, she stopped while she turned her head over her shoulder towards the approaching group. If they were going to have a chat, their demeanor at the very least spoke of hostility. Aggression so to speak, or perhaps that was Ari’s personal impression from their body language. Either way, they seemed tense. One of them garbed in a green jacket spoke with an aggravated tone.
”First they cart your body in here, and now they give you one of our doujutsu? You are the last person to ever have such a thing.” Ari blinked at the aggressor’s words, and the second was a bit chubby as he leaned forward with a cocky grin.
”I hear that your body was so ripped open that they needed to stitch you up from head to toe even with medical jutsu being used on you. How did it feel being so close to death?” They were taunting her it would seem, provoking her to lash out. Frankly being reminded that she was put in such a dire situation set her on edge. However, the girl sighed as she turned and started to walk away.
”None of you are worth the effort.” Ari responded as her lightning scars all over her body was evident of her exposed arms, face, and feet. Some of her silver hair was starting to grow back even as she had short hair. It was a small improvement, but an improvement nonetheless. The Hyuga however, he spoke this time and this time it made Ari stop in her tracks.
”How could you let Chikamatsu die? How dare you wear his eyes and practice his art!” On that note, emotions high in anger, the Hyuga charged after Ari. Byakugan was active in his eyes as he moved to swing a palm towards the center of her back. He saw the build up, but he couldn’t stop in time as a slab of earth swung up that not only met against the palm. The slab of earth had enough strength that despite it crumbling under the palm strike. The kinetic energy transferred to the Hyuga as he was pushed back as the result. Neither of them appeared to be surprised as they were provoking her into a fight. Rare as it was to find a Hyuga working together with an Uchiha, let alone agree with each other. Yet when it came to Ari it appeared that they’re able to look past their differences and pride. Even so, anger boiled within the young girl as her eyes finally turned towards them with her body turning to face them.
”You can take your petty remarks elsewhere. I will warn all of you, continue this nonsense and I will break you.” In that moment her Byakugan activated as veins grotesquely bulged from the sides of her eyes. A defining pupil could be seen within her eyes as the result, and Ari still finds it a bit hard to believe how far Ari could see at an almost 360 degree radius. Each of their tenketsu was exposed to her sight, yet her warning is brushed off by the trio.
”What can a dead girl do to us? Did you know that she has failed in every mission she’s been in? How every time she came back from a mission, she was always injured?” The head of the trio arrogantly spoke, and he only blinked before Ari suddenly closed the very short distance. Sharingan sprang to life in the two boys that were clearly not Hyuga, but that didn’t matter too much as Ari slammed a palm against the Uchiha in a green jacket upon his abdomen. Not only did Ari proceed to seal a tenketsu point, but Ari also injected enough chakra to effectively stun the guy as he staggered with a groan. His muscles locked up as a result, and thus did the fight ensued.
The other Uchiha attempted to pin her down by extending his arms which Ari recognized to be the Soft Body Manipulation. Not only did she evade the flailing noodle arms, but she also continued to strike and seal the chubby Uchiha’s tenketsu along his arms. The Hyuga stepped in as he furiously pressed Ari into evading not just the strikes. But the chakra the Hyuga unleashed as well. Aggravated, the Hyuga unleashed the iconic Thirty-Two Palms as he took upon that irritating stance. The problem with such a stance was that it took time to kick up the speed, and the Hyuga attempted to circle around to strike from her side. However the Byakugan allowed Ari to see… well just about everything. In one swift movement, Ari dropped to a crouch with a sweeping kick to disrupt the combination before it began. The kick slammed just behind the Hyuga’s knee, and in that moment he staggered. Ari took up her Thirty-Two Palms as she jabbed his thighs once on each, then she swiftly spun around the Hyuga’s flank. Though his eyes could keep up and his attempt to thwart her combination. Ari however was quicker both in speed and reaction time as she nimbly evaded his strikes. Proceeding to deliver another pair of jabs along the man’s extended arm.
Afterwards Ari proceeded to jab the Hyuga for a total of thirty two palms, and sealing not just his tenketsu but she also stunned him as well. That left just the chubby, flailing noodle Uchiha who suddenly lost his motivation after witnessing his two teammates groaning and slightly spasming on the ground. Ari didn’t say anything, but with a thrust of her palm towards his direction a cone of chakra invisible to the naked eye lashed out to collide not just against the Uchiha who stood, but to the others as well as Ari sealed more of their tenketsu. At the end of it, Ari lets out a sigh as the Byakugan within her deactivates.
”You three really need to pick your fights more carefully in the future. Next time I won’t just seal your body, I’ll bury you as well.” Ari warned as she started to turn to leave. When the Uchiha in the green jacket abruptly spoke in defiance.
”You can’t do this to us! Our family will not stand for your treachery! They will have your traitorous head too!” At this point Ari rolled her eyes as she wasn’t even angry at this point. More like she’s tired of hearing about that.
”I don’t care if you’re the Hokage or some toxic self-claimed royalty. Get in my face again and I will hurt you. Severely.” With that being said, Ari proceeded to leave the facility. She had enough excitement for one day, but this unfortunately was becoming a daily occurrence. Only it never got this bad before.
