Manly Bonding


Chapter Two

"Contrary to what you may believe, Manly Bonding does not include the standard blood, sweat and tears. You must remember the three essential S's that shape the foundations of this course."

A flick of Genma's wrist released the buckles of his standard issue Anbu uniform, revealing a firm chest and taunt abdominal muscles.

"Strong."

A lazy smile appeared on Genma's lips as a hazy gaze entered his eyes. His voice coming out as barely a whisper.

"Sensual."

In one smooth motion, he swept his ever-present bandana off his head. Shaking out the newly mussed up hair, he leaned back onto the wall in a completely editorial pose.

"Sexy."

Looking at the awed looks on his students' faces, Genma continued, "You must also remember that these three must always coexist in perfect balance to achieve the most favorable effect, like the three sides of an equilateral triangle."

The four students nodded, silently committing this information to memory.

"Neji."

The Hyuuga tensed.

"You try it."

A frown appeared on Neji's forehead as he stepped forward, his mind running over potential executable movements.

"Let it come naturally from the inside. Let it represent who you are."

Nodding at Genma-sensei's guiding words, Neji took a moment to find his center.

Then, with the grace belonging only to a master of Juken, he strutted across the room, putting thousands of male models to shame with his silent intensity. With a perfectly performed hair flip, he posed. Black silk trailing over well-defined shoulders and biceps, a faint smile playing upon his lips.

"Very good. Love the way you played up the hair. You got the calm, cool and collected down by the book. Be careful that you don't act too calm, it might drown out the sensuality."

"Damn Neji, that was awesome!"

Throwing a friendly arm over the Hyuuga's shoulder, Naruto laughed, "Genius at this too eh? Gonna be hard to top that."

Neji smirked, "But you will try anyways."

"You know I will. Hey sensei, can I go next?"
