Hachimitsu still didn't see the reason behind tree punching, but she did as instructed and continued punching the poor tree that did nothing wrong. For a couple of minutes, Hachi ignored the pain as best she could, but it was hard. The Aburame had plenty of splinters too which wasn't great, but she kept quiet and kept going. Eventually, the bark broke from the girl's assault, falling to the ground. At that point, Hachimitsu finally turned to Hiriko. "I think I might have done enough for today."

Hiriko paused while doing her own training, glancing over to see the Aburame punching away. She could tell the other girl was having difficulties, but didn't have much more to offer. It was something she would have to learn to just get used to.

She rubbed at her own knuckles before walking on over to Hachimitsu. Her own hands were used to this sort of training, so she wasn't too concerned.

"Well... Don't hurt yourself too much, I guess. Make sure to take care of your hands afterwards, alright? Clean them off, wrap them in bandages. That kind of thing" She said, doing her best to be helpful. 

"If you want to meet up again, I'll usually be hanging out around the training grounds" She offered. She didn't particularly mind the other's company.

Hachimitsu's hands were covered in blood and splinters, but she didn't really seemed fazed by it as she looked at Hiriko. "I'll be sure to bring bandages for next time. If there is in fact a next time." Hachi said before nodding. "I am plenty beat up, so no more tree punching for right now. I will go to get my hands fixed, so I will see you around..." The Aburame said before starting to walk off, smiling behind her jacket. Despite how much her hands hurt, that was actually a bit fun.

"Alright, well... See you around" She offered awkwardly, not knowing what else to say. She waited a short while and watched as the Aburame walked off before turning back to the tree. She took her scythe back out with a sigh, staring at it.

"Back to trying to figure this out I guess..." She grumbled to herself, again trying to focus her chakra along the length of her weapon.

To her surprise, this time it actually started to work. She could see the characteristic sheen of chakra enhancement as she focused. With a grin she turned the scythe in her hand and chopped down the tree in front of her with a single swipe.

"Much better" She said with a grin.

**This is now a training ground**

Kado had come to realize, through trial and error, that he was lacking on more than just being physically strong. His taijutsu was lacking and any time he got into hand to hand combat he lost. There were no exceptions. That couldn't stand and he wouldn't allow it any longer. Through mutual friends he had received information that someone would be willing to train him in it. While he was never actually given a name or a description, he was told that the person would find him. It sounded cryptic, but he wasn't in any position to question it.

He sat on the ground, stretching himself out, at the local training ground. The young Kaguya watched as people passed by, hoping that one of them would be the individual coming to train him. His head was town to his thigh as he gripped his toes in a stretch when he heard the footsteps approaching him. Kado craned his neck upward slightly, one ruby orb opening to gaze upon the person in front of him. "Don't suppose you are here to teach someone taijutsu, are you?"
