I think I would rather use the scalpel.Kabuto's usage of chakra scalpel is better than Hinata's usage of the Gentle Fist.
I'm not sure which is better in general though
That's what I think too. You can use it to either slice your opponent physically or damage him "internally". Kabuto even said with enough prep he can create a scalpel strong enough to reach the heart. That's pretty much a one shot.I think I would rather use the scalpel.
With the Gentle Fist, if you **** it up or get deflected it isn't as effective. The Chakra Scalpel can be just as precise when used correctly, but is also just as deadly when thrown around wildly.
AgreeThe scalpel seems more generally usable
Nah. It doesn't require great precision. Precision just allows for a greater range of attack.Gentle Fist as a whole taijutsu style vs chakra scalpel, a particular medical ninjutsu.
Chakra scalpel is undoubtedly deadly and share some effects with the Gentle fist. It relies on chakra control which Jyuuken can disrupt. Versatile-wise, gentle fist wins. In combat, chakra scalpel needs great precision and is highly unusually used.
You're serious? Lol.Gentle fist obviously shits
It not only does organ damage and potential one shots it also attacks the chakra networks and shuts down the persons ability to use Chakra or any ninja art apart from taijutsu.
Chakra Scalpel couldn't even get past tsunades boobs.
It is a medical technique that requires precise chakra control. I checked its description.Nah. It doesn't require great precision. Precision just allows for a greater range of attack.

Stopping ones chakra flow isn't the only effect of Gentle fist. It also injures organs, although not in the same fashion chakra scalpel does.Chakra Scapel wins in my opinion especially when you can cut your opponents nerves is underrated as hell compared to stopping ones chakra flow
What the ****? No he absolutely did not. You can plainly see he isn't touching the headband, but her chest. You know, where her heart is.Gentle Fist obviously
you can see here that Neji channeled Chakra through her headband all the way to multiple organs without touching the areas where the organs were located directly, meaning that one touch on any area on the body can cause a fatal damage.You must be registered for see imagesYou must be registered for see images
I didn't say it didn't require chakra control. I said it doesn't require precision, meaning attack precision. Once you can use it, you could close your eyes and throw it around wildly and still murder someone, whereas if the Gentle Fist misses, its damage is likely do be greatly reduced. Though even the Gentle Fist can cause internal damage without striking their mark.It is a medical technique that requires precise chakra control. I checked its description.
This medical technique forms one's chakra into a small, sharp blade. This can then be used for highly accurate incisions necessary for surgeries and anatomical dissections. Unlike regular
scalpels, the Chakra Scalpel can actually make cuts inside the body without actually creating an open wound, limiting the risks of an infection.
The Chakra Scalpel can also be used offensively, although it requires great precision to be effective. Because of this requirement, using the Chakra Scalpel offensively is highly unusual. In heated combat, even the greatest medical-nin won't be able to exert the precision needed to make fatal cuts, but it can still effectively cut muscle tissues and tendons, rendering the target immobile.
Nonetheless, chakra scalpel is deadly.
Through her headband, really? Where was this stated?Gentle Fist obviously
