Leaf Combo

As I continue fighting my sensei's clone, I notice that it leaves its chest exposed, so I decide to utlize that. I form a fist with my left hand and start going for a puch into the chest. As I deliver the strike, my right hand is already being prepared for the second punch. This time, I aim for the gut. When my second punch goes through, I start moving my left hand at the clone again. This time I go for the head, with an open palm. I hit the clone with a powerful palm thrust, pushing it down to the earth. The clone vanishes before it even gets a chance to feel the ground.

Leaf Rising Cyclone

As the clone aims for my head with his left hand, trying to deliver a punch, I use my left leg as a support to start spinning. As I spin, I start stretching out my left arm, preparing for a punch. I make a full circle, and my fist gets behind the clone's head and strikes it witha strong back-fist, making it rush towards me with its head down. As soon as I make the punch, I start raising my right leg into a kick, aiming for the clone's face. The kick hits the clone only a moment after the punch, leaving it no time for it to defend. The clone start flying away from me, but quickly disperses.

These are simple and elegant. Swift combos to use in the middle of hand-to-hand combat. Nothing spectacular but very effective as it combes more aspects into a quick and powerful attack due to speed and strength of exchanging blows. Nothing more.

It is compared to my usual speed U_U

Good, good. Now for the last three Taijutsu techniques, which can only be used if you specialize in Taijutsu. I am going to teach them to you, nonetheless.

Type: Offensive
Rank: A-Rank
Range: Short
Chakra: N/A
Damage: 60
Description:
The user begins with kicking the opponent into the air. Once the enemy is airborne, the user will quickly follow, positioning himself to deliver a kick to the opponent in the face or upper body, disorienting him and using the movement to position himself above. Once above, the user will finish with a powerful drop kick that will send the opponent back down to the ground, with such might that from a 3rd person perspective, only a flash of light is visible coming down, ending in a crater and a massive dust cloud.
Note: Can only be used by Taijutsu specialists or EIG users

Okay, so this technique requires the user to kick the opponent into the air, and once they go up, the user follows and positions himself to deliver a kick to the opponent's face or upper body, which allows the user to get above the opponent and deliver a deadly drop kick. This blasts the opponent down with great speed and power.

Type: Offensive/Defensive
Rank: A-rank
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 30
Damage: 60
Description:
This is an ultimate taijutsu technique created by the legendary taijutsu master Chen. It appears to be initiated by an upward spin kick at which point it quickly becomes like tornado. Forming into a dragon with long whiskers, it attacks the target aiming to swallow them, at which point they are cut by the razor sharp air currents inside the attack. After initiating the attack, the user appears to remain shielded within the base of the tornado as the outward surface of the dragon seems to be solid enough for a person to impact and rebound off of, making the only way to enter the technique once it has been initiated is by being swallowed. However, there is one distinct weakness to the technique. Since the Dragon God's real form (and what it basically is) is that of an ordinary tornado, though cosmetically shaped into a dragon, its attack power is based on rotation. If one enters the attack's centre (Dragon's Eye) while rotating at high speed, such as Lee's One-Man Front Lotus, it can be dispersed without inflicting damage. The technique, while seemingly similar to Wind Release, is actually just the users own physical power (through the use of the spinning kick) shaping the air into currents through movement. It is, however, enough to fight off elemental ninjutsu of the same rank and below.
Note: Can only be used by Taijutsu Specialists and EIG users

Another really cool one, where you will perform an upward spin kick, which will form into a dragon and attack the opponent as it aims to swallow the opponent within it. Its akin to a Wind technique, but its literally just due to the rotation and force of the kick, that the manifestation is formed, but it is equal to Elemental techniques in rank, so its great for defense and attack purposes.

Rank: A
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: N/A
Damage points: 60
Description: The user strikes the enemy with a powerful knee to the stomach, causing them to double over and he finishes with a strong elbow from the alternating arm to the back of the head. If successful, it will render the target unconscious for 2 turns.

A cool technique where you deliver a strike to the opponent's stomach with your knee. This causes the opponent to double over and with an elbow to the back of the head, boom, you knock the opponent unconscious for two turns. DONE. That is basically it.

Youth Full Power

In the middle of fighting with my selsei's clone, I make a half-circle spin whilst raising my leg towards the clone's face. I hit my target which makes it fly into the air. I then follow it and jump after it. As I rise into the air, I start raising my right knee into the air, and as it gets slightly above the clone, I stretch it out and I kick the clone into its face. I use the clone as support to jump higher into the air. When I get high enough and I start falling back, I stretch out both of my legs towards the clone and aim for it. This all happens extremely fast and in a split of a second, I slam the clone into the ground.

This is a nice, powerful Taijutsu combo, worthy of a Taijutsu specialist. What makes it unusually powerful is the speed in which it's all performed. The ending it extremely fast, making it look like a flash of light. If the user manages to get through with the last kick, defending from (or actually reducing the influences of the imvact) will require a lot of skill. The only thing I would state as a tiny disadvantage is that user need to kick the target into the air and then use that body to jump higher into the air as a preparation for the finale. The target might have some chances between those kick and before the final one to carry out some kind of a defense or escape. However, that would still be very hard.

Leaf Dragon God

I see that L's clone si standing far away and is not intending to come at me. Eh, I'm too lazy to get over there. As I finish saying the, I start raising my right leg into the air, as I concentrate my weight on left leg. I also start to spin. However, this time, it's not just a simple spin. I countinu spining in an amazing speed, so quickly that I start making a huge distrubance in the air. Shortly after I start spinning, a make a giant tornado. I also gather some chakra which is needed to gain control over the tornado. When I have it enough, I release it into the tornado and start shaping it into a dragon. In a few moments, my dragon is ready, and I control it to rush towards the clone. It devours it and immediatly kills it. I then stop speening and dispel the dragon.

Now this is a really unusual Taijutsu. It requires really high Taijutsu skills, so it's not strange that it can only be used by specialists. But I kind of think this looses the essence of Taijutsu. Your opponent would not have a hard time defeating this dragon with an S-rank elemental attack, since they would act as if they were attacked by Ninjutsu. If you start using that while being far away from the opponent, it's not worth the energy and it takes some time until the dragon is fully formed, which leaves the user vulnerable. And if you use it in short range, it could only perhaps throw back your target a bit while it starts being formed, but they should again have enough time before the dragon comes at them. Very much energy for something that can be done with many other jutsus.

Leaf Crushing Storm

I stand face to face with the final clone of sensei L. The clone starts rushing at me and all I do is stand calmy. As the clone tries to deliver a punch at my head, I simply dogde it by tilting to the left. As I do so, I concentrate my weight to the left leg and start raising my right leg, which is bent in the knee, towards the clone's stomach. I make a poweful strike which makes the clone bow down with it's head. As the clone's head start rushing towards the ground, I rase my right hand into the air. I quickly hit the clone to the back of its head with my elbow, finishing it off.

And an amazing jutsu fit to end the Taijutsu session. What I love about this is the simplicity. The two moves that it consists of are really easy to do and should not cause confusion. The blow with a knee into the stomach is really fast and powerful, and the target is not able to prevent themselves from bowing down. And then it's checkmate, since the user is in a really good position to strike the target with the elbow and make them lose consciousness. What is reall great is that those two moves have a really nice flow and it's easy to perform them both extremely quickly. If this goes through, the fight is pretty much over.

Before we finish this, I want to say I noticed that I haven't officially learned all of the D rank jutsus since Adachi and I had done that rank a long time ago and some new ones got made. They are all as simple as they come, just regular fighting moves and I thus have no problem understanding them. Should we do something about it?

Great job, and no, it's alright. It was a different method, as well as being like two years ago before the Taijutsu list was revamped. Other than that, it seems you are done with Taijutsu. Congrats!

Thank you, it was a pleasure! ^_^
