[X] Write In - If the bedroom is filthy, wipe our fingers on the worst smelling liquid and guide our fingers into our Sound guide's nostrils. Demand he clean the bedroom lest we find creative ways to interrupt his sleep.
We didn't escape the Leaf prison to live in squalor again.
You ignored Azasuke and waded through the filth until you reached the door to your room. You quickly opened it and thankfully the room was practically spotless compared to the rest of the place! It was covered in a thick layer of dust, but otherwise untouched. You wanted to teach Azasuke a lesson in respect, but you felt like for now, playing along with these humans might benefit you more than simply lashing out...
+1 Man
You flopped down on the bed, raising a huge cloud of dust. After an intense bout of sneezing, you closed your eyes, sinking into the warm embrace of the bed. It wasn't long until you drifted into sleep, exhaustion overtaking you.
---
When you awoke, you felt better then you ever had. Having a proper place to sleep did wonders, you found out. You walked out of the room and found Azasuke sleeping on the floor. You gave him a sneer of disgust, but said nothing as you went outside. Since everything was artificially lit in the Sound, you didn't know exactly what time it was, but it felt like early morning to your internal clock. Soon a Sound shinobi appeared in front of you, your escort for your first day of training!
You followed the shinobi through the village and into a long, narrow tunnel. Eventually you reached a large, empty room with a balcony built above. On the balcony you saw Orochimaru and a man with glasses and gray hair standing next to him.
"You're late, Hinata..." Orochimaru said, though he sounded more amused than annoyed.
"I am here, that is all that matters," you replied.
"I suppose. Oh well, Kabuto, go train the girl. I have better things to do with my time," Orochimaru nonchalantly said, turning around and leaving the room.
"Wait! We agreed you would train me!" you barked, glaring intensly at Orochimaru, who ignored you and kept walking away. Kabuto jumped down from the balcony and stood in front of you, adjusting his glasses and giving you a smug grin.
"You're not ready for Lord Orochimaru's training. With your pitiful body, you would no doubt die. If you pass my training, then perhaps he will think you are ready," Kabuto explained.
"You arrogant..." you trailed off.
"Anyway, before we can really get any progress started, I need to see if you can do the basics," Kabuto said, "Here's what we'll do. You have to land a hit on me. You can use whatever tactics you want and you must come at me with the intent to kill."
"Easily done!" you shouted, pulling out your dagger and running at Kabuto. However, you weren't going to be so straightforward! You used the body flicker to get to Kabuto's side and lunged forward! However, he merely caught your arm, stopping you in your tracks. You tried to escape, but Kabuto thrusted his foot forward, sending you flying backwards and landing hard on the stone floor, gripping your stomach.
"Is that all you got? Hmph..." Kabuto sighed, shrugging his shoulders and shaking his head. "This is what the Nine Tails was reduced too?"
"How did you..." you began, but thinking on it, Kabuto must be close to Orochimaru if he was the one training you right now. You got to your feet and clenched your fists, you weren't expecting the training to be easy, but this might be more than you bargained for...
---
It had been a week since you started your training and each day gave you new bruises to enjoy. But each day, you were getting closer and closer to hitting that damned smug glasses wearing prick! Today was a unique day due to Orochimaru actually being there to watch your training. You sighed and gripped your dagger and began you attempts at hitting Kabuto again!
You ran forward and made some clones before throwing the dagger at Kabuto. A small distraction he flicked away with a kunai as you body flickered behind him and made more clones. Kabuto spun around and struck at you...but you ducked and raised upwards, trying to hit Kabuto with an uppercut. He backed away and you sent all of your clones at him! He rolled his eyes and ran through the intangible beings to strike you!
However you vanished in a puff of smoke, having used the substitution jutsu on your dagger! Kabuto looked genuinely shocked as he turned around, but it was too late for him! You clenched your fist and drilled Kabuto in the cheek, making him stumble backwards a step. You tried to follow up with a kick, but with great speed, Kabuto delivering a brutal punch to your face, making the world go dim as you fell onto the ground.
"Now, now Kabuto. She managed to hit you fair and square, no need to lose your temper..." Orochimaru said. "Heal her."
"...Apologies, Lord Orochimaru," Kabuto grunted. He moved forward and placed his hands close to your face, making them glow with a green chakra. The pain in your face vanished and you got to your feet. You pushed Kabuto away and looked directly at Orochimaru, who was now at the ground floor.
"Will you train me now?" you asked.
"Of course. I just wanted you to toughen up before I began my experiments," Orochimaru said. "Besides, to show such growth in a short amount of time...is interesting. Kabuto, you may leave for now."
"Yes...Lord Orochimaru," Kabuto said, giving you an evil look before leaving the room.
"So what will we train in?" you asked curiously.
"I already have the rough draft of a schedule, but in what order we train things in doesn't matter to me. Just tell me what you want to work on first and we'll go from there," Orochimaru said with a smirk.
Well?

[] Taijutsu
[] Genjutsu

I could see kurama trying to go for seals, just to be free from the body he's trapped in, but that would take a long time, and there's always the chance he'd get locked back up again.
I could see going base physical stats or taijutsu, because our body is amazingly weak. Unless Orochi has some nintaijutus like the raikage uses for us to use. We definitely have the chakra to keep it up, and tailed beast chakra cloak does something similar. In that case, going ninjutsu might be better...
Right-o, so Hand Seals is out for now, we only have the academy three, it's probably not worth it for now. We could go with the basis, and train physical or Taijutsu, grow our repertoire with Nin or train Gen to make use of our High intellect ( compared to the other stats) if the both of synegise well. Personnally i'm temted to train either Phy or Gen, depending on where the vote take us. Is Phy for one stat only or all three?
Your Stamina is currently 2/10 and you only get the tailed beast cloak with the Beast skill tree. I'm sure you can train your stamina to git gud, but right now you are in weak babby Hyuga body.

Ah, was just commenting on we'd probably know chakra can augment the body, but we have no way of doing that unless we learn something similar to nintaijutsu, since we'd have no way of accessing our own power. As for the chakra thing, was just thinking more down the line... once we can at least get a sliver of kurama's original power. that's assuming orochi even developed something along the lines of nintaijutsu or stole it from the raikage. Not that we'd be compatible with it, since it's lightning release...
Honestly, probably would be best to get our crappy stamina up to something workable.
probably best to bring all three stats t oprobably 5, to have a good basis. considering we have Strenght 1, speed 3 and stamina 2, gonna need that workout.
"This body is much too weak. I think it would be wise to strengthen it before we do anything serious," you answered after some thought.
"Very well. Now follow me, it is time for me to begin my research," Orochimaru ordered.
"Hold on! I demand to be trained first!" you angrily said.
"Hmph, this is part of your training. Merely doing exercises and driving yourself physically are so...old fashioned. With my experimental formulas, I can improve your body much faster." Orochimaru explained.
"Tch...fine!" you growled, following Orochimaru out of the training room. After a few twisting hallways, you eventually reached an examination room that had a large table and various electronic device scattered about the room.
"Very well, get on the table," Orochimaru commanded, walking over to a drawer and pulling out a syringe and a clear bottle of liquid. You did so, keeping an eye on Orochimaru the entire time. He plunged the syringe through the rubber cap of the bottle and filled it up.
"What is that?" you asked wearily.
"This will put you in a sleep-like state. The experiments I wish to conduct can be...rough on a body, so I prefer to keep them as still as possible..." Orochimaru said, walking over to you. Before you could respond, he jabbed the needle into your arm! You tried to take a swipe at Orochimaru but your body was much too sluggish to do much other than awkwardly wave your arm.
"You...bastard...!" you spat before falling unconscious.

When you awoke, you were in your bed. You had a throbbing headache and your entire body felt sore, but otherwise you were okay. You rapidly got up and walked out of your room, where you saw Azasuke laying on the couch, reading a book.
"Welcome to the world of the awake, sleepyhead!" Azasuke playfully said.
"What happened to me?! I was with Orochimaru and-"
"Yeah, yeah. Lord Orochimaru preformed his experiments on you. Your body had all it could take, but good news, you are now all roided up!" Azasuke explained.
"What?"
"Lord Orochimaru gave ya some drugs and stuff to increase the strength and growth of your body, so when you start trainin' you should get some huge gains," Azasuke continued, getting to his feet. "Anywaaaaaay, I'm to be your physical trainer."
"You? How can such a waste of life be my trainer?!" you barked.
"Don't worry, it'll be fiiiiiiine," Azasuke said, "C'mon, let's gooooooo."
"The deal was for Orochimaru to train me! Not his underlings!"
"Too bad, so sad," Azasuke shrugged. "You want to get Lord Orochimaru's attention, then you should play by the rules for a bit, y'know? Plus, I'm a great teacher!"
"I highly doubt that," you muttered.
"Anyway, up to you honestly. If you want to ignore Lord Orochimaru's orders and not have me train you, then I guess you can go train by yourself or something," Azasuke yawned. "Course it prolly won't look so good on your record."
"..."
Well, what will you do?
[] You demand Orochimaru to train you. He cannot keep passing you off to his minions!
[] Fine, train with Azasuke. You just want to get stronger, whoever trains you does not matter.
[] You refuse to work with this lazy sack of trash! Train on your own!
