Streetlights [ Flashback, Kid, Private ]

"I love the smell of Rain at night." A woman's voice can be hear over the roaring thunder and heavy rain. Not a loud voice, actually quite soft, but it can be heard because the listener rests inside the mind of the woman. Juri Han, the new Raikage and new Jinchuriki of Son Goku, had been in her King sized bed reading a book. In the bedroom of the huge mansion she stayed in were four large windows, with beads of rain constantly pouring down them. Even though the clouds blocked the moon, lightning bolts brightened the skies each time they danced through the heavens. How distracting this was to Juri, who just wanted to read a book before she went to bed, now Son Goku was all riled up. "Hey girly, this thunder is keeping me up, why don't you find something for us to do?" At first Juri was going to ignore him and go to bed, but she realized the thunder was also keeping her up. This was weird, Juri had been used to thunder, as so every Kumo citizen. She deduced another thing then, stress. Stress from work, from training, and mostly stress from this beast living inside of her. An untamed beast that could and does cause pain whenever he feels, which isn't good for Juri's health. Like an abusive relationship, but instead Juri can't beat the asshole to death.

Rising from her bed, Juri begins to put on clothes because, well... she's naked. She always sleeps naked, which is hot, but gives a lot of people nosebleeds. An raincoat and hat cover up her usual attire, blocking the now light drizzle as the Raikage paces through her village. Not really looking for anything to do, Juri settles on training, as that usually helps ease the mind. Once at the training grounds, she finds a young woman that she employed. Umeko Hyuuga, a beautiful girl, and Medic just like her mentor. "Oh?" Juri says to herself, looking at the young girl. Maybe some fun could be had. In her library of skills, Juri Han was able to master many techniques. One of these techniques had only been used by two people before her: Tsunade Senju and Sakura Uchiha. Juri had been following in Tsunade's footsteps closely, not only gaining her Yin Seal, but also her Chakra Enhanced Strength. With these two jutsu alone the young woman was able to prove her strength over all other Kumogakure ninja, and become Raikage. But Tsunade had Sakura, a student who inherited her will and skills, Juri didn't really have that. Maybe today was the day that all changed.

"Hey Umi-chan." Juri says waving at the girl. Her voice was really soft and sincere, letting the girl know she was coming as a friend, not as her boss. Lucky for the two women the training grounds were always well lit by lights, otherwise it would be hard to see. "I see you're training, mind If I show you a powerful technique I've mastered?" Juri is able 15 feet in front of the girl, still with her raincoat on. Today she decided against bringing her ANBU, they really didn't need to get wet with her. "Ahhhh, a student? Sounds fun." Son Goku says in Juri's mind.

"Hello Raikage-Sama, I-I would like that very much." "Oh you're so cute." replies the Raikage with a polite smile. While Juri knew her own immune system would be powerful enough to handle the rain, she did worry about her young companion's. Catching a cold or pneumonia could really damper someone's spirit, so with all this constant rainfall the woman really wondered if it was a wise idea to train the young girl out in the open. It wasn't really that chilly, the temperature had been in the 70's, so the rain actually balanced everything. For a moment Juri looks around for somewhere with a bit more shade, before finding a small forest that could provide cover. As she began walking over to the trees, she'd motion for the young woman to follow. "Hey, let's find some cover eh? Don't want you to get sick from all this rain." Juri says in a soft, almost caring tone. Lucky for the two, the forest also had street lights that lit the area. Kumo has this thing about rape, they don't like it, so they keep everything well lit and with emergency rape phones everywhere like on college campuses, it's weird. Once under the protection of the trees, Juri woudl take off her raincoat and begin to shake the water off. She then cracks her knuckles and begins to stretch, knowing a full show of force would be required to learn this advanced technique. "Okay, so first I need you to begin concentrating chakra into your fist. It should be easy for a Hyuuga clan member."

Easily the girl was able to transfer chakra into her hands, then maintain an equal level throughout them. Things of this caliber required true skill, only geniuses and people who've trained for a long time could have this level of chakra control. Again the Raikage was impressed, but it was expected from a woman who was handpicked by Juri to be her assistant. You see... Juri doesn't like the idea of having just any ol kumogakure citizen as her staff, she likes to make sure these people actually have skills. Through a long and hard search she was able to find the right staffers to her taste, even choosing her two ANBU guards on her own. Getting closer to the young girl, Juri would raise her hands into the air and begin to focus on them, studying the control the girl has over them. "Hey, good job Umeko-chan. But you're not focusing enough chakra into them. You're thinking too much like a medic and not enough like a taijutsu user. You see... medics hold back on using excessive chakra in their techniques as to not kill the patient, but you don't need to hold back. Your aim while using this technique is to inflict as much damage as possible, so you need to boost the levels of chakra in each hand by at least 30 percent." Juri would say, rubbing the girls hands. After this Juri would then raise her own hands and emit the perfect amount of chakra to begin the technique, once again rubbing the girl's hands. "See how much more coarse my hands are? This is the level of chakra you should have." Son Goku wakes up and begins to laugh. "Why don't you rip her hands off Juri, I want to see blood." Juri closes her left eye and frowns a bit, but turning to hide this from the young girl. "Shut up." she says in her mind to the beast. "Your turn." Juri says facing the girl once again.

"I-I think I've done it. I'm really not use to using this much chakra, It feels really weird." Juri smiles, and pats her student on the back. "I know, these hands that heal, shifted to kill. It must feel weird, but sometimes we do what we must to protect the people we love." "Sometimes we do what we must to the people we love to protect the interest of a village that uses us as people. Tell her that girly!" Son Goku says chuckling. Juri rubs her temple and replies to Son Goku "Not me. Loved ones come first before all. That's why I chose Kumogakure, so I could protect them." "I thought it was to have fun..." "Well... that too." Juri replies smiling. She turns back to her student and begins to show her muscles, chakra runs from her hands throughout her them. They swell up a little, looking more big than toned. "This is the second part, actually dividing the chakra throughout your muscle system. Once you first try this, the muscles will become enlarged." Juri's muscles shrink back to their normal, toned size. "After you master the technique, you'll learn how to control the size of your muscles with the chakra, so you don't look like a bulky body builder." Son Goku looks the young girl up and down. "A Hyuuga eh? I always liked them. Good eyes, gentle fist." Juri laughs out loud softly "Was that a joke Son Goku?" she replies to him inside her mind.

Juri watched as the young girl continued pushing herself, trying with everything she had in her heart and soul to muster enough strength to match Juri's. This technique was not at all an easy one. It required so much force and chakra, and in the end you were left with something that could devastate almost anything with a simple touch. While Tsunade's chakra enhanced strength was used to simply add more power to her attacks, Juri's was integrated into her martial arts. With brilliant speed and the strength of a monster, Juri's Tae Kwon Do fighting style meant almost certain death if hit with even a basic kick. Of course even without the strength the Raikage's brute attacks would mean almost certain death. Seeing the young girl train reminded Juri of when she first mastered Lava release, which was only a couple days ago. Today she had pretty much everything down, but she needed to dust off a few things. Combining both fire and earth was hard. Constructing the earth, and then SUPER heating it, turning it into a liquid form? Difficult. Earth was a solid, fire had no form, so controlling liquid all of a sudden is complicated. Juri taps Ume on the shoulder and smiles. "Take a 10 minute break, rest up." She says. By now the rain had stopped, so Juri makes distance from the trees and notices a large rock. "Perfect." She says with a smile. "What do you plan on doing?" Son Goku says, also smiling. "Gonna use my powers to melt that rock? Hehehe, good luck." Juri spits and begins gathering chakra "They aren't just your powers anymore, I've adapted them into myself, so theyre mine now." "So you stole from me and made it your own eh? Okay, you thief." "Shut the fuck up you spineless monkey, just enjoy the show!" She says, forming hand seals. A large wave of lava streams from the womans mouth and consumes the rock, beginning to break it down into more lava. Juri smiles and wipes a bit of lava and ash from her mouth. She turns back around to face her student. "Okay, now I need you to demonstrate how much you've learned by destroying that rock." Juri points to a random bolder, about 10 feet in diameter. "After this we can gauge how much you've learned and work from there!"
she says giving a thumbs up.
