Bacchus squinted at the man who had approached, there were two of him. No, four? Or not. Bacchus couldn't be sure if it was clones or if he was just seeing double. The last battle required him to break out the drunken fist, and he hadn't fully recovered.
-Hic- The hell are you babbling about? God? Where?
The drunkard looked around searching for this God, but none was in sight. It was then that the ground beneath him loosened up into sand and began to pull him down. Bacchus quickly weaved together four hand seals before being restricted and began releasing fire from the soles of his feet. The fire exploded downward with drilling force carving into the sand while bursting Bacchus upwards into the air. It wasn't much, no more than fifteen feet, but it lifted him over the incoming blade of chakra as well.
(Katon :Katon rasen kiri ) – Katon release: fire spiral drill
Type: Supplementary
Rank: A rank
Range:short
Chakra: 30
Damage: N/A
Description: simply an overzealous waking this jutsu is used from your feet. You will proceed to make 4 handsigns and the Fire chakra will begin to swell up around your feet. The chakra is then expelled into the earth in giant spiralling drill like manner. The fire goes down to fifteen feet and will cover a 8 foot diameter under the user. This prevents enemies from manipulating certain things from under you but also gives you a slight boost into the air from the sheer force/pressure released. The boost is a minimal of 10 feet. So once released the fire is not visible above ground but the force of the release lifts you above into the air.
~note: can only be used three times during battle
~note: no fire jutsu's above A rank the next turn.
~note: cannot be used more then once in the same turn.
~note: can only be taught by me.
He came down on the front lip of what was now a small crater. For a moment he almost lost his balance and fell back, but he gather himself and stood to face his enemies.
Dontcha think you beach bullies have had enough? -hic- My fists are gettin' tired of sending you all packing.
Bacchus cracked his neck and closed his eyes, when they opened they were white, the veins around them bulging.
(Dōjutsu: Byakugan) Eye Technique: The All Seeing White Eye
Type: Supplementary
Rank: C - Rank
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 15 (-5 per turn to keep active)
Damage: N/A
Description: One of the Three Great Dōjutsu (San Daidōjutsu), the Byakugan is the dōjutsu kekkei genkai of the Hyūga and Ōtsutsuki clans, inherited from Kaguya Ōtsutsuki. Bearers of this Dõjutsu have almost featureless white eyes. When the Byakugan is activated, the user's pupils become more distinct, and the veins near their temples bulge as the blood flow to their eyes is increased. While having the Byakugan deactivated, shinobi with have a normal eyesight and no special addition to their vision. While low rank Hyugas will need to perform a sequence of hand seals ( Horse → Tiger with lifting just index fingers → Boar with nearly straightened fingers → Hare → Rat → Dog → Horse → Dog → Hare → Rat → Boar with nearly straightened fingers → Snake with the right index finger lifted straight up) to activate their Byakugan, Hyuga masters and Otsutsuki clan members will be able to do so without the need for any hand seals and even have it active passively for long periods of time. Once activated, the user gains access to all of the abilities the Byakugan bestows upon them. While, like other Dojutsu, its main ability is to see chakra and the chakra flow in sentient beings, the Byakugan adds a complete new detail and dimension to that ability. Not only can they see chakra flow, but also the circulatory system and even the 361 tenketsu (even of their own). Added to this ability, once activated the Byakugan grants the user a near perfect field of vision 360º around himself (up to long-range if they're a master). This field of vision has only one blind spot; slightly above the 3rd thoracic vertebrae and facing backwards. The last ability the Byakugan has is the ability to zoom in and out, focusing on specific things, piercing beyond matter and energy alike. This specific ability allows the user to see pass most barriers as well as physical matter (like rock walls, ground, etc) but also energy, being able to focus beyond chakra that might be in front of them or other energies. The zooming ability is enhanced as the user becomes more adept at using his eyes and can even reach distances above 20kms away.
Note: For Hyugas, activation spends a move from the users own move count but once the user reaches Sannin Rank and has gained mastery over Gentle Fist for 1 month, he can activate it passively without spending a move. Because of its low chakra cost to maintain, the user can keep it active throughout the whole fight as long as he has chakra and stamina to do so.
Note: Genjutsu that requires Eye Contact when used against a Byakugan user requires direct eye contact between enemy pupil and user's pupil
Note: Hyugas must be activated to use Gentle Fist (Jyuken)
Note: Its tracking abilities are equal to that of 3 Tomoe Sharingan.
Note: Only Hyugas possess the ability to utilize Jyuken, However, all Otsutsuki clan members possess the ability of passive activation.
With the Byakugan activated, Bacchus' vision recovered. He now could make out his opponents quite clearly. The man who had spoken was hanging back, but the larger armored one was charging.
Alright, let's take care of the big guy first!
Bacchus made two hand seals and then lowered himself into the chop-hanging rippling fist style stance. His right knee bent while he slid his left foot as far to the side as possible, crouching down low to the ground with his arms out to the side. The big enemy would see something slightly different. He would see Bacchus lower himself into the same position, but he would see several afterimages as it happened. Once Bacchus was in the final position, he would disappear from sight. Ajeel would see Bacchus charge forward at tremendous speed, whereas Zaraki wouldn't see anything. As Bacchus reached Zaraki he would unleash a barrage of palm strikes, each one releasing a ripple of chakra that radiated outward from the strike.
(Hikasazanami-Ken Genjutsu: Hi-hirate kuresshendo) | Chop Hanging Rippling Fist Illusion Technique: Hidden Palm
Crescendo
Type: Attack
Rank: A
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra Cost: 30
Damage: 60
Description: For this technique the practitioner will form two hand seals and then slowly assume the basic stance of the Chop-Hanging Fist style. This activates the illusion portion of the technique. The opponent will see the user slowly lower their body, leaving brief after images. Once the stance has been reached the opponent sees the user disappear in a swirl of wind. In reality the user will have been focusing large amounts of chakra to their legs and will burst forwards once the illusion activates, closing distance at high speeds and unleashes a barrage of eight palms strikes in the blink of an eye, never stopping their forwards movement. The strikes and the damage from them will break the opponent out of the genjutsu (should they still be in it) by the time of which the user will have moves past them by about three meters.
-Can be used three times per battle.
Bacchus would come to a stop several feet behind Zaraki, and several feet in front of Ajeel. Much to his surprise, his strikes had done like to hurt the larger man. The armor he wore was stronger than it appeared, and all Bacchus had achieved was cracking a few plates and knocking off the man's helmet. That was when he was even more surprised, as underneath the helmet was the head of a beast rather than man.
Gah! What the hell is a tiger doing in there?! That's wild!
He readied himself into a typical hyuuga defensive position, one enemy in front and another behind. He was grinning.
My soul's really starting to shake!
Bacchus maintained his composure and stood stoically as his opponents began to move. It appeared as though he wasn't watching them, but the 360 degree vision provided by the Byakugan put both in view. The Tiglon charged from behind while chakra began to build in the man's throat. The attack from behind manifested first as an attempt at a piercing thrust. It was a fast attack, made even faster by the sudden extension of chakra, so Bacchus wasted little movement. He side stepped the strike just enough to let it pass by without harm.
(Han Sochi no jutsu)- Half Step technique
Rank: S
Type: offence
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 40
Damage points: N/A
Description: This is a style of Chinese martial arts where the user uses precise chakra control to move half a step out of the way when being attacked at close range. The user is then facing the side of the enemy. The enemy can only react to this attack and counter if they are advanced taijutsu users because they have been trained in advanced levels. This advanced technique can be followed up with an attack to counter their move.
Note: can only be taught by Zenryoku
Note: Can only be used twice per battle
It was at that time the ringing started. At first it just dampened his hearing, but soon became disruptive to his balance. He stumbled and began to fall towards the Tiglon. This fall was half honest, half a ploy. A lack of balance was nothing new to a seasoned drinker such as Bacchus. He knew he could channel this state into the drunken fist, and so he did. He caught himself with a firm right foot, planting it in the ground and then exploding forward. His hands weaved in swooping motions as his body twisted fluidly, unleashing a barrage of unorthodox strikes against the Tiglon.
Suiken) - Drunken Fist
Rank: C
Type: Attack
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: N/A +10
Damage Points: 30
Description: This unusual taijutsu style is a unique style of combat Drunken Fist Fighters become human powerhouses who'll strike unpredictability, with no inhibitions, an explosive fury and without any second thoughts about their actions. The user can either make themselves drunk or imitate the method by use of swaying and uneven balance on their feet to attack their opponents a total of 12 variant attacks.
This wasn't all he did, however. His previous attack against the armored beast made it apparent that mere physical strikes would be ineffective. But it also gave the Tiglon a false sense of safety behind those plates. Where the chop hanging rippling fist failed, the gentle fist excelled. One aimed at the surface, the other aimed deeper. Each strike against the Tiglon was accompanied by a burst of chakra that directly targeted the beasts chakra network, specifically around his lungs. The dance culminated with Bacchus clapping his hands together causing an explosive burst that pushed the beast away where he struggled to breathe as his lungs struggled to work properly.
(Jūkenpō: Shiroikiton) - Gentle Fist Style: White Spirit Release
ank: B
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 20 +10
Damage points: 40 -5
Description: The user performs a series of high-speed strikes before charging their chakra into their hands and releasing it in a burst.
Once done, Bacchus patted his right ear trying to shake the ringing sound, but it was fruitless.
Sound, huh? Great to see your soul's singing for me!

Following Ajeel's two hand seals, Bacchus felt an odd tinging begin to build in his extremities. Zaraki attempted to capitalize in this moment, but the damage to his lungs caused him to drop to a knee after taking a single step.
Feeling a little weak there, Lion?
The accumulation of affects were beginning to take a toll on Bacchus. The dizziness was problematic enough, but the added tingling would make him too vulnerable. There wasn't much he could do to overcome the sound based technique, he would have to wait it out. The tingling was still a bit of a mystery. It was the result of the two hand seals, he was sure of that, but it wasn't sound based, or elemental as far as he could tell. There was definitely nothing in the air around him. The answer must lie inside, he decided, so he examined his own chakra network and noticed the abnormal flow. An illusion. Bacchus released a burst of earth chakra throughout his body, cleansing him of the illusion while also significantly reducing his own weight.
(Doton: Chōkeijūgan no Jutsu) - Earth Release: Earth Release: Ultra Light-Weight Rock Technique
Type: Supplementary
Rank: S
Range: Short
Chakra: 40
Damage: N/A (-40 if used to boost speed of a physical attack)
Description: A more advanced version of the Earth Release: Light-Weight Rock Technique, in which the user drastically decreases the weight of any object in direct physical contact, but to a much greater extent than that of the original ability. The technique can decrease the weight of the target to virtually zero but the bigger the target, the more time is needed.
Note: The weight change lasts 2 turns or until countered.
The use of this technique wouldn't be noticeable at first, as no change in outward appearance would occur. Ajeel would still think Bacchus to be under the affects of the illusion, thus expecting his speed to be halved. Instead, his speed would be dramatically increased. Ajeel wouldn't know this until Bacchus had already begun to move. Bacchus darted directly for Ajeel at blinding speed, and launched into a barrage of precise strikes, each one hitting a tenketsu point on Ajeel's body. The strikes themselves were painless, light as a feather. Gentle fist was never meant to cause outward harm, and with the light-weight rock technique reducing the impact behind the strikes it was even more gentle than normal. But with the added speed each strike chained together more quickly, and with each came a burst of chakra that directly targeted the tenketsu point of Ajeel's chakra network, closing it upon impact. The resulting 361 strikes would close each and every point in Ajeel's system, leaving him depleted of chakra when it was complete.

Bacchus slid a kunai into his right hand and held the blade against the exhausted opponent's throat.
Maybe you and your kitty should get back to that litter box ya got back in Suna? A soul can only shake so much in a day.

Given their already close range, Bacchus would have been on Ajeel in but a moment, if not for what appeared between the two. From the ground rose a coffin. Using the Byakugan, Bacchus could see the chakra network of the individual inside even before the coffin opened. Not planning on giving the occupant a chance, Bacchus reared back with his right palm and lunged forward just as the door opened, taking aim at the person's heart.
Huh?!
His palm stopped short. Not because of paralysis, the person in the coffin hadn't begun their song, but because he found himself face to face with a maiden. She looked gentle and peaceful, it caught Bacchus off guard. That hesitation would cost him. The maiden opened her mouth and began to sing a hymn. The first note caused Bacchus to crumple to the floor as his muscles became paralyzed and his mind was filled with pain. Forming coherent thoughts would be useless, let alone manifesting any sort of sophisticated defense. He was left with only one choice. He released a blast of chakra from each tenketsu point across his body, forcefully throwing the woman back into the coffin. He had expected the coffin itself to shatter, but it withstood the blast. The force of hitting the coffin knocked the woman unconscious, ending the Melody and freeing Bacchus from it's illusion.
(Jūkenpō: Ichigekimi) - Gentle Fist Style: One blow Body
Rank: A
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 30
Damage points: 60
Description: Using their ability to expel chakra from every chakra point on their body, a member of the Hyūga clan can hit their opponent with a blast of chakra that will send them flying away from the user. It was also shown when Kisame's Water Prison Technique trapped Neji that the user can use it to target weak point in the technique that they see with their Byakugan in order to dispel it.
Bacchus gingerly pushed himself to a knee. By this point a new Tiglon had appeared in the sky above and was beginning to manifest a wind dragon from his right. Bacchus quickly dove forward into the wooden coffin, taking advantage of the durability he uncovered moments earlier. The wind dragon swept over the coffin filling it with the roaring sound as if a train was rolling by all around him. While the coffin would protect him, he was far from out of danger. He was now outnumbered 3 to 1, and surrounded.
In the coffin he was forced to be face to face with the woman he had just knocked unconscious. It made his blood boil that such a beautiful weapon would be used, a dastardly technique indeed. From within the coffin, Bacchus performed a summoning technique of his own, aiming to level the playing field. In a massive puff of smoke the God of Jaguars, Tezcatlipoca, arrived. The sudden appearance would knock Ichigo away while the coffin was lifted up into the sky in Tez's right hand.
Summoning Jutsu: Tezcatlipoca, God of Jaguars(Kuchiyose no Jutsu: Tezcatlipoca)
Type: Supplementary
Rank: S
Range: n/a
Chakra Cost: 45
Damage: n/a
Description: Tezcatlipoca is one of the key Gods of the Aztec people. When he takes his animal form he becomes a Jaguar. He is the boss summon for Jaguars and is around the same size as Gamabunta. Jaguars have the strongest jaws of all the big cats as evidenced by their preference to deliver killing blows by biting the skull of their prey rather than the throat, they also eat turtles by crushing their shells. Using this bite Tezcatlipoca can bite through incredibly strong defensive techniques (A-rank and below). Jaguars are also masters of stealth and ambush made possible by their ability to mask their chakra from normal ninja, though not sensors. Tezcatlipoca is adorned in Aztec tribal gear such as feathers, piercings, armor and a green cloth ties around his waist. His chakra natures are water and wind he can use up to A-ranked water techniques and A-ranked wind techniques.
~Must have signed a contract with Jaguars.
~Can only be summoned once per battle.
~Lasts four turns once summoned.
~Can withstand up to 160 damage (2 S-ranked attacks)
The Jaguar stood y'all on two feet and let out a mighty roars as the wind dragon broke against his body, but he was able to withstand it. When the smoke cleared, Bacchus was standing in front of the open coffin in Tez's open palm. He held Maria in his right arm and was staring down at Ajeel with a rare fire in his eyes. He pointed down at his foe and shouted.
What kind of man are you?! I was gonna let you head back to Suna, but your spirit is too dark to let go. I'm gonna put you in this coffin and bury your ass right here!
Tez used his left hand and focused wind chakra to the claw of his pointer finger. Staring down at the three foes, Ajeel directly in front, Zaraki to Ajeel's left and Ichigo to Ajeel's right, he swept the finger in an arc ranging from Ichigo to Zaraki and released a large arching blade of wind that would slice into all three enemies.
(Fūton: Kaze No Yaiba) - Wind Style: Wind BladeType: Offensive
Rank: A
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra: 30
Damage: 60
Description: This technique is a pinpoint slashing strike, where the user emits chakra from their fingertips and materialises it into an near invisible weapon that assaults the enemy in a gust of wind. If the Sickle Weasel Technique can be regarded as a swarm of small wind kunai, then this technique is akin to a virtually unavoidable longsword which can leave the target's body mutilated. Just being in close proximity to the technique can cause minor cuts. The wind blades can be created and thrown, like projectiles, in rapid succession, although in this case, each one weaker than the single use application. The technique cannot be blocked by physical weapons and is insanely fast by not relying on the use of Hand seals but, because it still requires the user to perform hand gestures to use and is somewhat visible in the effect it produces, it can still be defended against by using appropriate evasion techniques or fast elemental ninjutsu.

Chakra: 800 - 75 = 725
The Acrimony of Akurojin
This ability involves the user infusing Katon chakra with their Sand. It results in the sand heating up, and causes the sand to deliver first-degree burns to anything that it comes into contact with; with the user himself being the only exception. Unlike Red Sand, the sand does not become non-polar, nor is it hydrophobic. As such, the ability does not grant normal Sand to obtain Red Sand abilities at all, with the normal sand heating up due to the Katon infusion being the only similarity; that too to much lesser degree than the Red Sand. However, the true purpose of this infusion lies in the fact that infusing the chakra with the Sand alters the interaction of Fiery Sand with the Basic Five Elements. By invoking this ability, it allows the Sand to overpower Fire, Earth as well as Wind. Sand however continues to remain weak to Lightning, and becomes twice as weak to Water.
