[CC] Falcon takes flight again

Incorrect, all upper dantian entities are familiars. A familiar doesn't require sentience, but since we can only create sentient spiritual entities within ourselves or others, they are essentially spiritual familiars.
Correct,
Incorrect, you made me consider a point that I hadn't thought about. I'll explain it in a moment. However, there is no defined way to get rid of a spiritual familiar from an opponent that is not a Hayabusa. For the sake of keeping everything fair, keeping it similar to genjutsu; a full body surge of greater rank would do the trick.
Correct

Explanation of 3rd question

Spoiler

Let's say you use B-rank upper dantian on another Hayabusa. A-rank will prevent the opposing Hayabusa from using A-rank and above spiritual/mental techniques. For Hayabusa this would translate to an inability to use upper dantian Wuji Dao as well.

Alternatively, for Hayabusa, because of our spirituality, we could prevent another Hayabusa's attempt all together through our passive spirituality ability.

"We'll move onto the upper dantian application. This application is a little more complicated than the previous to. We are actually creating sentience without physical form. You need to call upon the chakra in the upper dantian to bring about consciousness from nothingness. This consciousness will have a form but it shall be contained completely within the mind."

Hiroshi closed his eyes and focused on creating, essentially a replica or Mugetsu. He focused on creating the entity within Mugetsu himself such that the child would see a pale white imitation of him with the same exact personality, albeit, slightly calmer. The entity then spoke to Mugetsu.

"Now try doing the same within Hiroshi-san."

Mugetsu was shocked to see a reflection of himself in his mind. He took a step back then circled around the reflection.
Do i really look this skinny?
He fools around for a couple minute until the familiar reminds him again.
Uh... okay then. Lets try it
Mugetsu performs a seal of confrontation and employs upper dantian, but realizes he doesn't understand how to differ between creating something inside someone's mind and a physical being. He takes a minute to think about, and then continues using genjutsu as basis. He employs upper dantian again and tries to fashion a familiar after hiroshi, based on his own knowledge and observations of him.
Did it work? How do i know if it worked?

Hiroshi saw the familiar created within him and smiled. "Very good young master. Before long, you'll be even stronger than I am." Hiroshi praised.

"The last thing on our menu is to combine the dantian into one single entity. Now that you know how to manifest the upper dantian outside of yourself you can do the same with one of your lower or middle dantian familiars. You have all the tools to do it, just bring it into being"

We basically covered everything so we should be good after this post with Taiji Dao.

Mugetsu takes a minute to reflect on his teachings. He uses upper dantian combining it lower dantian to manifest a pitch black homunculus about the same height as the boy himself, with a fluid body capable of changing form. A prototype to what would eventually be his will manifested, his partner and confessor: Yoru.

---

Important question: If i make a fluid body homunculus as my familiar and combine his being with Yoru (not permanently ofcourse), since he has the same structure. I would wanna do that in order to extend some defensive capabilities to Yoru as well as an ability to use a degree of Hayabusa CJ. I should be perfectly capable of doing that correct?

 

[Reborn]

I feel like I answered your question on discord. I don't know Yoru's abilities but I wouldn't think fusing with a familiar created by Taiji Dao would work the way you want it.

After many months away, Hayate finally returned the Hayabusa dojo in order to instruct his younger brother.

"I heard from Hiroshi that your training has been coming along exceptionally well little brother. Think you're ready for some Kobudo Kumite?"

First things first, tell me how other Hayabusa techniques could be combined with freeform for CQC other than the main Kobudo Technique?

Heh kobudo?
Mugetsu assumes a stance and immediately leaps at Hayate, partially annoyed that he suddenly decided to show interest but also to showcase he's more equipped than Hayate realizes

---

1) Taiji dao can be used to create a variety of weapons, armors and extensions to the body that can add range to technique, a gauntlet or armor may allow a buffer zone that interacts with the opponents defenses before your own taijutsu allowing you to land easier hits. Techniques can be made more lethal
2) Similarly Wuji dao could be used to coat the area around the body and very much have the same functions as taiji dao except more lethal
3) Both the above mentioned techniques have movement applications which an be paired with free form CQC
4) Wuxing can be combined with a nintaijutsu focused mode similar too lightning armor to make subsequent CQC attacks more lethal or effective
5) Koi can be used to possibly invade a barrier and in free form. Im not sure about this one

 

[Reborn]

All correct

The moment Mugetsu leaped forward, Hayate coated himself in a low level (C-rank) cloak of Neidan with his lower dantian with Wuji-Dao. He remained stationary and waited to see how his younger brother would respond. The technique was weak enough such that, if Mugetsu made contact with Hayate, the former would only be moderately damaged.

"Sort of anxious there aren't ya, bro?"

---

In terms of coating yourself what flaw or weak point would there be in the full body cloaking method of Wuji Dao when fighting on the ground?

Mugetsu notices the cloak forming and stays on his course leaping past Hayate instead of attacking him directly. As he lands, he would duck and spin covering his arm in a partial cloak of low rank lower dantian. Mugetsu swings his hand erasing the ground beneath Hayata causing him to lose footing. Mugetsu uses the momentum from spinning to spring in to the air and uses Taiji dao to form C rank weights on his feet landing on top of Hayate. The cloak would remove the weights but they would still produce enough down force for Mugetsu to land strong, non-lethal, blow.

---

The soles of your feet, or any part of your body in contact with the ground must not have the cloak as it would simply cause erasure of your footing. Those parts of your body, remain vulnerable.

Hayate recognized the slight change in course of Mugetsu and remained stationary until his brother passed him. With Mugetsu still in the air, just before landing, Hayate elevated his movement with his lower dantian, utilizing the Haquan form. Hayate moved in such a way that he kept out of Mugetsu's line of sight, even his peripheral. He went with Mugetsu's movement such that, when the young boy attempted to erase the floor from where Hayate once stood, Hayate would appear behind his brother roughly three meters away.

(Hayabusa Kobudo: Kumite) Hayabusa Martial Way: Fighting

Spoiler

Type: Offensive/Defensive/Supplementary
Rank: A
Range: N/A
Chakra Cost: 30 (-5 per turn)
Damage: N/A
Description: Kobudo Kumite refers to the free fighting style of Hayabusa Kobudo. Hayabusa hone their fighting style through the practice of kata (forms) and bunkai (application) which utilize the dantian and Neidan. Over the years, four essential kumite styles have come out of Hayabusa Kobudo that all Hayabusa must learn; Huquan, Shequan, Longquan, and Wuquan.

Huquan (Tiger Fist)

Hu Quan is the fundamental fighting form of Hayabusa Kobudo. The form is characterized as the most direct and offensive style of fighting. Hayabusa will use their lower dantian to draw physical essence from nothingness (Wuji) into their being. The essence drawn into the user’s being increases their physical speed, strength, and awareness allowing them to heightened feats of taijutsu. The user is able to perform taijutsu and other acrobatic movements at twice their normal speed as well as react to anything as long as it is within their range of sensory perception (five senses, taijin, etc). Alternatively, the user can move linearly three times their speed (chunin and above), however this level of movement cannot be maintained for longer than a single turn. As for their power, Hayabusa gain +20 to their taijutsu while using Huquan. The user can use Huquan fighting in successive turns depending on their rank which reflects their overall physical condition. Genin and chunin can only use Huquan for a single turn. Jounin and Head Ninja can maintain it for 2 successive turns. Dragon Ninja are able to maintain it for 3 turns at a time and Masters 4 turns. The drawback to Huquan is that, the user can only use lower dantian based techniques and non-elemental techniques while they are using this form. If used for more than two successive turns, the user becomes unable to use any lower dantian techniques for the number of turns over 2 they utilize this style. For those who are limited to two turns and below, they require a single turn cool down before re-use. Haquan can be used twice for genin - jounin, thrice for Head and Dragon Ninja, and four times for master ninja.

Hayate cracked a small smile, "You're as hot headed as ever. You get that from dad so I guess it's to be expected." Hayate sat down next to Mugetsu. "Dad was just like you when he was your age. However, if Hiroshi's assessment of you is correct, I'd dare to say you've already passed where he was at your age. We both have, but we're still a long way from him."

Hayate put his hands in his lap in the Buddhist meditative position. "I'm going to teach you my personal technique. It's a form of Kobudo that employs the lower dantian to increase your physical abilities. The concept is simple but it took me a few years to bring its level to its peak. First, focus your chakra in your lower dantian and have it flow through you. Like with Taiji Dao, we're going to pull essence from nothingness but we're going to internalize it to heighten our physical strength, speed, and reflex."

How would you what he was like at my age? You have visited him haven't you? ............... Regardless, you knew father better than I.

Mugetsu sits down in a meditative position and begins to channel a chakra around his body and through his tenketsu employing lower dantian to create a layer.

1) In agreement with Zanda there, i might be wrong here. But the rules require, you any dodging attempt to involve an active technique. Using Haquan once would satisfy that requirement but beyond the first turn, the movement is passive. In order to dodge the user must reactivate the technique, or repost the technique without deactivation (spending one of 3 moves per turn). If an opponent decides to shoot a linear projectile at your while you're moving, accuracy would be in question and you might just dodge it but that is a fault in opponents move, not your own attempt to dodge.
2) Yes, you can use the movement speed as long as you're able to
3) Wuxing requires all 3 dantian. Technically speaking it is possible, it would be incomplete (unable to erase physical objects upon impact). Not sure if it would be doable in RP though.
4) Assuming we have 3 types of speeds: Movement, Reaction and tracking speed. Tracking speed is a component of your reaction speed. You need to be able to track to react. But being able to track doesnt always mean your body can fully react ( i.e. Sasuke being able to track lee's movement but not react against them).
Given that your reaction speed has no cap, as long as you have sensory perception of your opponent. Your tracking speed has no cap either. As long as your have sensory perception that is.

You read through Jay's thread regarding the Golden Elixir yes?

I'm going to ask you a slightly different set of questions so I won't have to repeat myself with you. This will be assuming you've read Jay's thread.

1) True or False; once you've ingested/activated the Elixir, you may choose when it affects your Hayabusa techniques. Example; you use 3 Hayabusa techniques, but you only want the extended chakra for two of them, you can chose to not enhance the chakra output on one technique.

2a) Using Upper Dantian Wuji Dao, which is (are) true and why?
a) Using C-rank external component will become B-rank
b) Using the B-rank external component will become A-rank
c) Using the A-rank external component will become S-rank
d) Using the any rank internal component will increase to one rank above
e) Assuming any rank up occurs, the user will follow the drawback rules for the upper dantian/wuji dao generally concerning the base rank before the +10 chakra.

3) True or False: extending the duration of a Hayabusa technique's duration must be stated at the beginning of the technique being used once the elixir and is subtracted from the elixir immediately.

4) Can the elixir be used to extend the duration of Hayabusa Kobudo "Haquan" without additional consequence?

 

[Xylon]

1) You may not choose, elixer is non discriminatory with neidan.
2) a-d) They would not gain ranks. Their strength would increase to be a rank higher. A B-rank technique would gain the strength, benefits and effects of an A-rank technique but would not carry the drawbacks or restrictions of A rank.
2) e) The drawbacks rules of the base rank will be followed. Assuming rank up occurs, a B rank technique is bumped to A rank. The restrictions of B rank would be followed, the effects of A rank would be produced.
3) False, if a technique lasts multiple turns. I dont see any reason why it should be stated at the beginning that you intend to use the technique for X number of turns. The wording does not imply it, and I dont see a conceptual reason why I cant decide in the middle of the technique whether or not to supply it with more chakra. It boosts the amount used yes, but i can opt to cut the supply of chakra to a technique any time.
4) So the restriction the use of techniques other than lower dantian and non elemental techniques would stick. The use of style itself prevents that.

If used for more than two successive turns, the user becomes unable to use any lower dantian techniques for the number of turns over 2 they utilize this style.

However, the second part written above refers to exhaustion experienced from use of the technique. The chakra provided by elixer would offset the effects experienced. However if Elixer can extend the duration of the technique for 3 turns, and you use it for 4 turns beyond the initial 2 turns. You would in fact experience the drawbacks of 1 extra turn of usage.

 

[Reborn]

1) Correct, the Elixir will apply to any and every Hayabusa technique. Being conservative means you conserve your own chakra rather than the elixir's chakra.

2) Partially correct. In the case of a) since both C and B-rank require mid-range, I'm not so hard pressed to say 'yes the rank increases in terms of strength' However, considering A-rank and above require short range and physical contact respectively, AND have significantly higher debilitating affects on the opponent, I'd be hard pressed to say b, c, and d would gain the resulted affects UNLESS within the appropriate rank. Now, I could ask at the risk of the presentation of such information leading to a nerf, or I can expect you to adhere to the range rules for each of the ranks and just let it be. We can discuss the course of action to take later.

As for e, you are correct. The restrictions of the base rank will be the restrictions that befall the individual rather than what than the actual strength of the technique is.

3) What about the portion of the question regarding whether or not the 100 chakra from the elixir is to be subtracted at the moment of extending the desired jutsu?

4) I like your line of thought here. So, if you haven't already guessed (or I haven't told you) these are all questions I have not considered until training you and I answer them the best way I can. I would concur, there is no additional drawbacks. If you use it for 2 turns before extending it and then use a 3rd turn, no additional drawback. If you use it for 3 turns before extending it to 4, then you suffer the drawbacks of using it for 3 turns. This means no additional drawback in my books.
