Well, duh. All of MIO's sleep-deprived, chakra-exhausted behind will be firmly offered to her on a platter.
EDIT: Ninja'd while I was remembering synonyms to the word "to hand".

With any luck this will blossom into genuine blazing hatred on Hinata's part. Why be friends when we can be mortal enemies instead?
We already have too many mortal threats. Or did you forget Itachi, our fuckwad Elders, and the ninja lifestyle?With any luck this will blossom into genuine blazing hatred on Hinata's part. Why be friends when we can be mortal enemies instead?
None of those are mortal enemies from within our peer group and thus do not count for this. Some day if everything goes right Hinata will attempt to strike us down. She will fail of course, and flee the village as a traitor. Her hatred will grow over how we stole Naruto and ruined her life. Then when she has grown stronger and the time is right she will return to finish the murderous job she started!We already have too many mortal threats.

Don't worry, Mio won't have any hatred for Hinata at all, and probably won't acknowledge the truth of Hinata's soul-crushing rage. Therefore it is ok!While I doubt it'd go as far as outright hatred both Mio and Hinata could use peers who not only challenge each other but push one another to be better. I can see them working as either friends or rivals. They'd be good for each other.
Actually, there is something to be said for the value of building muscle memory equivalents even when so tired you're in a fugue. So far as I've seen there isn't any research suggesting sleep deprivation turns off the... more basic parts of how the brain processes stuff - it kinda can't since lots of that overlaps with stuff needed to keep you breathing/heart beating, etc. For sure she's likely not going to remember discreet notions and theories about what she's doing, but plenty of how the brain processes doesn't get impacted by any but the most severe of cognition disturbing lack-of-sleep - as in so severe that she'd be actually imminently dead from lack of sleep. Ingraining new reflexes/muscle memory/subconscious familiarity is all in that more resilient group.
Drilling while tired, however, *is* good training for both the willpower to push yourself to your limits, and the techniques to compensate for it when you do so that you can maintain at least *some* level of effectiveness. Perhaps more importantly, it tells you where your limits are, so you can plan around them - if you know that you're about to hit a wall, and you know about how much it's going to take out of you, you can deal with it better than if it just hits you. If you can do an all-nighter one night, be functional the next day, and then eke out a third day with four hours of sleep, but you *need* those four hours of sleep... that's pertinent information.These kinda ideas pop up a lot in media that involve martial arts, but in fact, in elite athletic programs, drilling technique to failure is not best practices, because you will be encoding wrong movement engrams. It's all about maximizing neural drive; drilling while tired simply means you're teaching your body to move like its tired even when you're fresh in a real match. Periodization is key.
That irrelevant to what you quoted though.These kinda ideas pop up a lot in media that involve martial arts, but in fact, in elite athletic programs, drilling technique to failure is not best practices, because you will be encoding wrong movement engrams.

Yep.Not saying that that's why she's doing it, or that it makes what she's doing a good idea. Just saying that there are circumstances where driving yourself to exhaustion and continuing to push yourself can be useful from a training standpoint.
translation: you are within the field of my divinationThe difference was that you moved within the area that your chakra was already clouding up, the zone of control where your chakra filled the air? In terms of the technique... you weren't moving your body somewhere far away. Your chakra system is a part of your body, and so the effect of having part of the chakra still... technically inside of your system, but outside of your body...
As far as I can tell, we just completely destroyed our relationship with Hinata, convincing her that we are exactly as much of a preening, empathy-impaired douchebag as our appearance and mannerisms imply. This is the "Todd finding out about what Bojack Horseman did to his rock opera" of Twisted Pinwheel.That said if we do end up fighting Hinata, whether we win or lose, I'd like this to motivate us into bugging her more often, after all a friendly rivalry could probably do the both of us some good, and with the way she acted about him we could motivate her by involving Naruto in our schemes, after all with Mio being rather over the top we could use a "voice of reason" type to ground us, a bonus if the interaction with us turns her into a snarky straight man type.
Right now we don't really have a relationship with Hinata, as far as I remember, at least other than as classmates, this is like the first time we've interacted with her, and it's not like what happened is at blood feud level or anything. This seems more like just a minor scuffle in a combat(assasin) academy, fights like this are probably a dime a dozen for one reason or another.As far as I can tell, we just completely destroyed our relationship with Hinata, convincing her that we are exactly as much of a preening, empathy-impaired douchebag as our appearance and mannerisms imply.
