Having to fight with the minimal amount of space there was Setsuko would think to step back, but knew that the move would only make an opening for him. Instead, she had prepared to use her left hand to be able to attack Higoho's lower stomach as it was an area that would take an extended hand to defend. If he was to attempt to block against it then she'd pull back her right hand that had just been blocked, and would aim straight for the lower end of his neck. If she was to do this then the chakra being sent to the byakugan would come to a stop as her chakra would disrupt Higoho's own chakra flow in that area. That was what the gentle fist style consisted of; A few jabs here, and a few nabs there with ones own chakra and the opponent would be rendered completely useless. Easy right? Some of the members of her clan including her opponent would say it is, but to her it was slightly more difficult as she wasn't a big fan of using it as often. One would assume she'd spend her life attempting to master the style, but the only way she'd ever consider mastering it would be the day that the cursed seal was to be taken off of her. Sadly though, she couldn't be able to use this idea because Setsuko would use her left hand to repel Higoho's attack to her right shoulder. It was strange as to why he was attacking her right shoulder, but would come to understand why only after the actual attack had hit her. Because Setsuko was focused on the decoy she didn't notice that Higoho's other hand would slam straight onto the middle of her chest. The Hyuga kunoichi stumbled back a few steps while coughing as the impact had forced some of the air out of her lungs. As she coughed Setsuko braced herself for the excruciating pain that came with being hit with pure chakra, but as the seconds passed nothing more had happened other than the usual throbbing from the attack. By now there would have been a hundred times more pain than this, and she'd practically be on the floor wishing it would end. Because she had looked down to see if anything else had been struck Setsuko looked back up at Higoho as he had once again called her an idiot. [i]I may be mistaken, but I could swear that one book stated some random fact about nicknames, and Higoho has called me baka more then twice...So does that mean that's my nickname according to the book?[/i] Whatever it was she'd get annoyed, and would reach up to tighten a headband that she didn't have on. [color=lightsteelblue]"Er,"[/color] Setsuko glanced up at the fact that she wasn't wearing the Konoha headband, and touched her forehead to see what took it's place. [color=lightsteelblue]"Oh, the wrap."[/color] It as almost a habit to wrap her forehead right after a shower so as not to accidentally put the cursed seal on display if the headband was to fall off. Setsuko sighed as she looked back to Higoho. [i]That dunce. He simply hit me with his bare hand.[/i] Back in the compound that was how they'd practice with each other when they were younger. It was to keep from causing serious damage to the other since kids were also barely learning to control, and concentrate on their chakra. Once they grew old enough however it became mandatory to strike with chakra. When someone didn't use chakra they would be punished, which was why Setsuko was wondering why Higoho had let her off easy, but would settle that thought with the fact being that if he didn't then training would have ended shortly after it had begun. The few seconds he'd spend circling her she'd once again form the tiger seal to activate the byakugan, and would then stand as the gentle fist style demanded. Unlike Higoho who had run to break the distance they had in the beginning Setsuko lifted her hands to create a set of hand seals. [color=lightsteelblue]"[b]Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm![/b]"[/color] she'd say as she stretched her hand outward in front of her to aim the technique not directly at Higoho, but to his right side. Setsuko would then follow that up with running to where Higoho would end up after dodging it, if he did which would be recommended as the pure chakra burst would ruin his day, and with her left hand would aim for the chest area as he did with her. Her left hand was expected to be dodged as it was no more than a distraction like he had done to her. She would then slid her left foot outwards to turn, and end up using her right hand to attempt an attack at his left side. In case he was to attack her left hand would go inwards in case she had to repel anything. A trick within a trick was what she was aiming for, and at that this was to be a bit more difficult to dodge. Of course, this was Higoho, so he was bound to find a way to dodge it. If he didn't block it then she was set for life. If it hit she'd be merciful in a way that would create little to almost no pain, but wouldn't be too kind to not still strike him with chakra. [i]He needs some pain here, and there once in a while.[/i]
