Welcome, looking forward to teaching you. Now would you care to RP or no RP. Whichever way you decide, start off by explaining to me what you know about the Byakugan. The history, it's capabilities, both from the series and the RP. Don't worry if you don't know something, we'll go over it after.

If you want to RP, I'll be using my Hyuga bio as well, it's outdated but I'm gonna be updating it soon

Prefer no RP.

The byakugan is one of the three great Dojutsu, and is held by the Hyuga and Oitsuki clan. All clan members hold the byakugan, unlike the sharingan where you have to awaken it. It is known for its near perfect 360 vision , besides a small point on the back of their necks. It can be awakened into a Tensaigan by implantation of the hyuga clan into the eyes of direct descendant of Hamura Otsutsuki, however in the NW you can buy them (thankfully). The Hyuga clan is known for their fighting style gentle fist, the opposite of strong fist used by Might Guy Sensei. The style is meant to shut down chakra points and vitals through the use of falms, fingers, and chakra blast. Many feats have been used with this, shown with the amazing 16 trigram 128 palm, their control of air via using abilities such as vacuum palm to destroy organs, and the near perfect defenses of some of the best hyuga, such as Neji and Haishi.

Very good, that's a good summary.

Otsutsuki remove their eyes at birth (because reasons) so that's a downside, and while the Hyuga have it at birth, more diluted descendants do need to have it awakened like the Sharingan. Prime example is Himawari, Naruto and Hinata's daughter.

The visual powers of the Byakugan offer telescopic, penetrative, as well as near 360º vision. The vision also grants the user to see chakra networks. Now, with this, you can even see visual disturbances in your chakra network caused by Genjutsu (up to A-Rank). You can tell the nature of attacks that are incoming based on how the chakra looks to you, (wind chakra is sharp, water chakra is fluid, etc). There was a minimum telescopic vision of about 800 kilometers in the series, but that equates to 2 landmarks away in the NW (this can be boosted with specialties and tools). The penetrative vision also lets you avoid light from even blinding your eyes (unless somehow explicitly stated in a tech). This means smoke bombs and flash grenades are helpless. However, thinks like Hiding in the Mist can blind your vision cause all you see is a cloud of chakra everywhere.

Now while this visual clarity is offered to both Otsutsuki and Hyuga with the Byakugan, only Hyugas can use Gentle Fist, because they adapted the fighting style to it. Realistically anyone with that level of visual clarity could do it, but only Hyugas did. The Gentle Fist isn't specifically focused on hitting chakra points, the idea is that it focuses on internal damage of any kind. It's just more detrimental to affect the chakra network, but you can hit internal organs too.

Another thing that came out of this was practically expert natural chakra control. They can release chakra from every tenketsu in their body, versus the typical only hands and feet that regular ninja can do. That means, elbows, eyes, knees, etc. Fun idea if you ever want to get creative.

Alright, that's about it. Here's the Byakugan tech.

Type: Supplementary
Rank: C
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 15 (+5 per turn to keep active)
Damage: N/A
Description: The kekkei genkai intrinsic to both the Hyūga and Ōtsutsuki clans—descendants of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki. Those who possess this dōjutsu have it manifested as eyes with featureless white irides and no visible pupils. And when activated, the pupils become more distinct and the veins near their temples bulge. To activate the dōjutsu, Hyuga but not Ōtsutsuki clan members are initially obliged to use a rather long and specific sequence of handseals: Horse → Tiger → Boar → Hare → Rat → Dog → Horse → Dog → Hare → Rat → Boar → Snake. But once activated, the dōjutsu user is endowed with a range of skills.

To start, an activated Byakugan gives the user a near 360º diameter field of vision bar one blind spot at the back of the neck, above the first thoracic vertebra. Its vision can penetrate through any solid objects or obstructions and likewise remains unaffected by blinding interferences. But that being said, certain barriers and the like may distort its perception. In addition, it is able to follow high-speed movements, which enables those with this dōjutsu to analyze their foes' actions and better react to them. The Byakugan is also able to see chakra to a higher degree than the Sharingan and ergo, identify where a person's chakra signature originates from. Beyond that, it can discern certain types of clones from the real person. And its ability to see chakra is in fact so acute that those who possess this dōjutsu are even able to see the chakra pathway system and the 361 tenketsu that comprise it. The Hyūga clan has gone so far as to develop its unique Gentle Fist style in order to capitalize on this particular ability.

Note: Hyuga clan bios of at least Sannin rank become able to passively activate their dōjutsu upon one month having passed since Gentle Fist training concluded. Ōtsutsuki bios never need to expend a move in order to activate it.
Note: While traversing the NW, bios with activated Byakugan are able to see up to two 2 adjacent landmarks away while those of sage rank can see as far as three away, but this doesn't extend beyond an ocean landmark.
If you don't have any questions, we're gonna go on with the rest.

No questions except im assuming sannin got changed to the one month period
Anything about old ranks converts to new ranks. Sannin -> Jounin. So one month and Jounin rank still.

Alright, lets' get through this.
(Jūken: Tenketsushin) - Gentle Fist: Tenketsu Needle
Type: Offensive
Rank: D
Range: Short
Chakra: 10
Damage: 20
Description: Targeting a single chakra point, the user delivers a two-fingered strike at the opponent, in an attempt to plug the chakra that's being used and halt its flow.

(Jūken: Hyūga Ryuu Taijutsu) - Gentle Fist: Hyūga Style Taijutsu
Type: Offensive
Rank: D
Range: Short
Chakra: 10
Damage: 20
Description: A mini barrage of gentle fist strikes that equal 16 in total. Rather than targeting chakra points, the strikes can hit multiple inner organs to cause more widespread damage overall.

(Jūken: Hakkeshou Kaiten) - Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Palm Revolving Heaven
Type: Defensive/Offensive
Rank: D-S
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 10-40
Damage: 20-80
Description: A maneuver that obliges advanced chakra control—achieved via training in the Gentle Fist style—to release varied amounts of chakra from all of the user's 361 tenketsu, simultaneously. And in the midst of doing so, the user proceeds to rapidly spin and thereby, form a rotating shield of chakra with their own person at the epicenter. This functions as a defense to compensate for the Byakugan's blind spot as the released chakra blocks everything in a true 360° range and is able to send those struck by it careening back.

Note: D to C-rank is short-range while each rank thereafter will increase the diameter by 5 meters.
Please explain each of these, and ask any questions you may have about them.

(Jūken: Tenketsushin) - Gentle Fist: Tenketsu Needle
This is like a jab for most type of fighting styles, in a sense that a lot of moves revolve around this one range of motion. The user will deliver a two finger strike to shut down a chakra point. Shows up in different variations throughout the fighting style

(Jūken: Hyūga Ryuu Taijutsu) - Gentle Fist: Hyūga Style Taijutsu
A sixteen strike attack aimed to hit organs instead of chakra points. does widespread damage

(Jūken: Hakkeshou Kaiten) - Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Palm Revolving Heaven
The user will rotate as they channel chakra through their 361 tenketsu. It creates a dome of rotating chakra that gives the oser pefect 360 vision while using the move. It can be used as a defense to remove the limitation of the blindspot for the turn, or as a knockback. The range changes as the rank increases, going up by 5 meters after c rank

Good, first one is very small, can't really stop techs, but imagine like a paper cut... but you know on the inside

The second one is good, make sure you take a look at the Health System Rules https://animebase.me/threads/health-system.751935/
That'll help you decide where to strike for more damage effects

Well, the "perfect" vision isn't so much that since like they're spinning, it's kinda hard to notice anything, but yes your blindspot does temporarily get ignored practically at that moment. It's also considered a full-body surge, so consider this to allow yourself to get out of Genjutsu. Surge rules apply. Also Range Rules follow, so 0-5 Meters is Short, 5-15 Meters is Mid, and 15+ is Long. Reasonably, don't expect to go more than say like 25 meters if someone is like really far away.



Okay, same thing
(Jūken: Hakke Sanjūni Shō) - Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Sixteen Palms
Type: Offensive
Rank: C
Range: Short
Chakra: 15
Damage: 30
Description: A maneuver that in effect is akin to a halved variant of the Eight Trigrams Thirty-Two Palms and accordingly, halts the flow of chakra that circulates in sixteen tenketsu of the foe's chakra pathway system. If the selected tenketsu are localized to a single limb, then the recipient of this move is rendered unable to use the targeted limb for ninjutsu for one turn, which includes those with applied passives. If the strikes are not all localized to a single limb, then the foe will instead be unable to use chakra surges of S-rank and higher for one turn. Beyond those effects, the usage of this maneuver will reduce the victim's chakra supply and any accumulated senjutsu chakra by 5% per use.

(Jūken: Hakke Kakuu Raishuu) – Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Aerial Attack
Type: Offensive
Rank: C
Range: Short
Chakra: 15
Damage: 30
Description: The user runs toward an enemy at full speed before jumping and hitting one of the foe’s vital organs. Alternatively, the user may jump from a high distance, then descend into the palm attack After being hit, the target will incur a decrease to their base speed.

Note: Base speed is reduced by 1 level per use and the effect lasts for up to five turns.

(Jūken: Byakugan Sandageki) - Gentle Fist: Byakugan Three Strikes
Type: Offensive
Rank: C
Range: Short
Chakra: 15
Damage: 30
Description: The user grabs the opponent's extended arm, flips them around, then strikes them thrice on the back with enough force to send them flying.

(Jūken: Hakke Sanjūni Shō) - Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Sixteen Palms
Baby version of 32 palms. Shuts down 16 tenketsu points that can be localized or scattered. If concentrated on one section the victim will be unable to use ninjutsu or passives with that limb. if kinda all over the place the victim cant surge above S rank. Both forms reduce chakra and accumilated Senjutsu by 5%

(Jūken: Hakke Kakuu Raishuu) – Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Aerial Attack
The user will run or jump at their target, to perform a strike to one of the victims organs. Once hit victims speed goes down one level, and this last 5 turns

(Jūken: Byakugan Sandageki) - Gentle Fist: Byakugan Three Strikes
The user will flip their opponent and strike them three times. The force will send them flying

Nice job, important to note for the first tech; you can't do both unable to use ninjutsu in that limb or surge. It's one or the other

Also, these are all Tai techniques at the end of the day, and as such can be deflected or countered with Tai. So be sure of that

Next moves
(Jūken: Hakke Sanjūni Shō) - Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Thirty-Two Palms
Type: Offensive
Rank: B
Range: Short
Chakra: 20
Damage: 40
Description: A maneuver that in effect is akin to a halved variant of the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms but is able to be performed at 1.5x the user's current speed and accordingly, halts the flow of chakra that circulates in thirty-two tenketsu of the foe's chakra pathway system. The recipient of this move will be rendered unable to use more than 50 chakra in individual attacks, which includes those with applied passives, for three turns. Beyond that effect, the usage of this maneuver will reduce the victim's chakra supply and any accumulated senjutsu chakra by 10% for two turns.

(Jūken: Shukūken) - Gentle Fist: Palm Bottom
Type: Offensive
Rank: B
Range: Short
Chakra: 20
Damage: 40
Description: This attack consists of a quick, precise thrust of the user's palm to an opponent's body. Like other Gentle Fist techniques, it sends chakra into the target to cause internal damage that paralyzes them for one turn.

(Jūken: Chou) - Gentle Fist: Block
Type: Defensive
Rank: B
Range: Short
Chakra: 20
Damage: N/A (+10 if the opponent makes direct contact)
Description: The user exerts chakra from several tenketsu from a single part of their body, this chakra is gathered roughly ten centimeters away from the user's skin and forms a small shield of chakra, no bigger than twice the size of an average palm conveniently useable as a way to block tai/kenjutsu attacks(upto B-Rank) but is weak to elemental techniques as it's merely raw chakra which does not require advanced chakra manipulation. If the opponent makes physical contact with the shield they will suffer slight damage across the part of their skin which connected with it. The shield itself is no bigger than twice the size of an average palm and can block Tai/Kenjutsu attacks up to B-Rank as well as Elemental attacks up to C-Rank within reason.

Note: Useable five times per event
Note: Courtesy of Tybone.

(Jūho: Tamashii Baindingu Saakuru) - Gentle Step: Soul Binding Circle
Type: Offensive
Rank: B
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra: 20
Damage: 40
Description: The user channels chakra into one of their feet. Once they do, they will quickly stomp the ground and in the same motion, release a wave of chakra that quickly travels above ground surface. More specifically, the chakra manifests as a white omnidirectional ring that, upon contact with an enemy's body, the chakra will briefly paralyze their feet. It is similar to Palm Heel Strike, insofar as it causes one's muscles to be slightly damaged. This can also be applied through a kick, should it connect with the target, and forces the user's chakra into a specific bodily area with even more potent effects. The attack, itself, lacks tangible properties and ergo, phases through physical techniques (e.g., Earth and Water) without being hindered.

Note: Each application is useable only twice per battle.
Note: Paralysis lasts one or two turns—first and second applications, respectively.
Note: Courtesy of Nakiri.

(Jūken: Hakkeshou Kuuten) - Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Palm Grating Heaven
Type: Offensive/Defensive
Rank: B-S
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 20-40
Damage: 40-80
Description: A variant of Eight Trigrams Palm Revolving Heaven whereby the user follows the same process but also shapes the outputted chakra into razor sharp blades. Ergo, those struck by it are not repelled by concussive force but are instead subjected to being reduced to small shreds by coming into contact with what is akin to a giant revolving grater.

Note: B-rank is short-range while each rank thereafter increase the range by one level.

(Jūken: Hakke Sanjūni Shō) - Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Thirty-Two Palms
A stronger, faster, and more potent version of the 16 palms. This makes it impossible to use moves over 50 chakra for three moves and lowers their chakra and senjutsu reserves by 10%, and is done at 1.5x the speed

(Jūken: Shukūken) - Gentle Fist: Palm Bottom
Send chakra through a quick palm attack to parylize the victim for 1 turn

(Jūken: Chou) - Gentle Fist: Block
Creates a shield no larger than two palms that is usually used to block against taijutsu and kenjutsu. Not really good for elemental ninjutsu since it is made of pure chakra, and can only absorb up to c rank ninjutsu within moderation. only useable 5 times

(Jūho: Tamashii Baindingu Saakuru) - Gentle Step: Soul Binding Circle
The user while channeling chakra into their feet will slam their foot into the floor and release a wave of chakra with their palm above ground, temporarily paralyzing their feet for one turn. They can alternatively kick to deliver a more potent effect in the area kicked, lasting two turns. It can move through tangible substances without being harmed, and can be used twice in battle

(Jūken: Hakkeshou Kuuten) - Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Palm Grating Heaven
If SAW the movie created revolving heaven. This move is similar to Eight Trigrams Palm Revolving Heaven, but the chakra is transformed into blades. This makes the rotation shred any person into shreds. Follows the same range progression as Eight Trigrams Palm Revolving Heaven.

That's pretty much it, be sure to note the extra speed boost, it'll help you despite being of lower rank.

The last one is like a cheese dicer more than a grinder.

Okay, that's it, remember you're still only able to use B-Rank, even on the Rotation techs that say C-S. As soon as you rank up to Chuunin, we'll go on to A-Ranks.
