(Jūho: Hokyou) Gentle Step: Reinforcement
Type: Supplementary
Rank: A-ranked
Range: Short
Chakra: 30 (-5 chakra each turn)
Damage: N/A
Description: A technique among the Hyuga based on the Gentle Fist Style: One Blow Body where a Hyuga would normally use their ability to expel chakra from all their chakra points at once. This technique is a reinforcement or augmentation of the Gentle Fist; releasing chakra constantly from one’s limbs. This technique focuses on the reinforcement of one's limbs dependent on locations which are aimed mostly at the arms which include the elbows and hands to augment the fighters strikes or in the legs including the knees all the down to the feet; in which the technique takes the form of a sharp shroud of chakra though it is harder to see at a distance to the naked eye but more visible up close . This techniques design is when impact is normally made by a gentle fist strike, chakra is pushed into the enemy's’ body forcefully by the Hyuga from the chakra points at the same time however with this one due the constant chakra already flowing outwards. The impact is much stronger as the chakra already being pushed out combined with further chakra being released from same chakra points , chakra shroud and many other locations increasing the techniques overall impact. This however comes at the cost of not being able to use it in multiple limbs at once due the excessive amounts of chakra being used at once. It's limited to only two limbs but those limbs must also be the same meaning one arm and one leg can’t be augmented at the same time but rather two arms or two legs at once. Based on the limbs used the following effects take place on the user:
Leg Refinement – Through this variant it increases the kick based techniques by the user by one rank. This also increases the user’s speed slightly due to using the released chakra from the soles of the feet to “push” against the surface allowing them further their running speed and jumping distance. This speed increase is x1.5 there base speed. Also due to the sharp nature of the shroud, it leaves minor cuts on the targets skin when impact is made.
Arm Refinement – Through this variant it increases the hand/punch/arm based techniques of the user by one rank. The user’s punching impacts have a “push” effect behind them similar to its parent technique which solid impact from the user will send the target back several meters (5m). Also due to the sharp nature of the shroud, it leaves minor cuts on the targets skin when impact is made.
While active a cosmetic hue of chakra lines appear around the selected augmented limb as a sign of the techniques activation as well as when impacts are made; more "burst" like impacts of sharp chakra appears.
*Can only be used four times per battle, once per turn lasting two turns each.*
*Can’t be used at the same time as other modes or body enhancing techniques that correspond to each other(i.e can’t use Leg Refinement and Leg Weights at the same time as this technique would cancel it out)*
*Can only be used again after two turn cooldown *

Type: Defensive
Rank: S -ranked
Range: Short
Chakra: 40 (-10 chakra per turn)
Damage: N/A
Description: A technique that was inspired by the Hyuga’s Eight Trigrams Absolute Heavenly Spin which was created to deal/handle with faster moving opponents. The user will channel there chakra from all tentektsu’s in an emergency and release the chakra instantly as a layer of chakra over the user’s body. This layer of chakra manifests as an extension of the clan’s “absolute” defense technique. The layer of chakra leaves a light blue hue of chakra resonating around them. This actual nature behind this technique is that much like the rotation this chakra is constantly spinning around the user’s body and limbs rapidly to the point that it’s hard to notice. The spinning layer of chakra acts like a constant shield which the user can use to defend against techniques that directly target the body. This adds some protection to the natural blind spot of the user’s Byakugan. When clash against an enemy in close rnage combat, the revolving chakra will “push” off the enemies back and allows some distance to be cleared for the user(5m). The revolving chakra can play on equal terms with elemental chakra up to S-rank. Can be used once per battle, lasting four turns; which while active the user is unable to utilize any Gentle Fist techniques above A rank or any above S rank in the turn it ends.
