Here is the technique you will be learning.Waits for Alucard.
(Tekkai) - Iron Mass
Rank: A
Type: Supplementary; Taijutsu
Range: -
Chakra Cost: 30
Damage Points: +10 to taijutsu
Description: After years of training in taijutsu, the user has developed a way of nullifying physical damage. He will focus chakra through the muscles on his body, hardening them to the level of iron so that even a sword only does a superficial cut on the user. This gives him more resistance while suffering attacks and at the same time, more force. Although with this technique the user can endure a lot of damage, a strong enough technique, such as Tsunade’s and Sakura’s enhanced punches can affect him. This technique is said to be as strong as Kakuzu’s Earth Spear. This technique has some weaknesses, has it only hardens the user's muscles, meaning some parts of the user's body will still be vulnerable, like the tendons behind the knee, ears, etc.
It's pretty self explanatory. First I would like to know if you have any questions regarding it's usage? And I also want to know how would you use it, how this would be useful to you. give me some examples
I don't think I have any questions that would seriously affect my usage of this Jutsu, but I think I have one or two. There are some things I could ask about, like how in OP, CP9 agents couldn't move when using it, but since this is hardening the user through Chakra, and not just physical prowess, I can assume you can still move. If you couldn't it would make the boost to Taijutsu null, you know. Common sense and the OP Wiki answer any questions I may have about this technique.
There is however the case of usage. It doesn't state in the Jutsu how long this can remain active, or if there is a limit to its usage. Is there a limit for how long you can keep Tekkai active for? Or is it simply until you knead Chakra for another Jutsu? Besides that are there any limitations I need to be aware of, that aren't specified in the Jutsu itself?
Also, if you are cut deeply by a sword while this is active, then deactivate this Jutsu, would there be any negative after-effects from the cut? Of course the Jutsu would prevent any damage to muscles, and you can therefore still use them, but would the wound be any worse after deactivating Tekkai, besides the obvious bleeding?
Now, how I would use it, it obviously has many uses, both Offensive and Defensive. You could use it to increase the overall strength of a punch, making it hardier and able to deal more damage, or you could use it to withstand a physical attack yourself, with only superficial wounds, so long as the attack is made on a part of the body that has a decent amount of muscle mass. Like you noted in the Jutsu itself, areas like the ear, back of the knees, etc. have very little actual muscle mass, so to try and use this to defend a physical attack on such areas would be a waste of Chakra. It's also good that it can be used to defend physical Kenjutsu, since the users muscles become as hard as steel.
As for how this will be useful to me, Kenjutsu and Taijutsu are looking to be my best subjects, at the very least they are 2 of 3 subjects I have completed, so at the moment, they make up the base of my overall approach to a battle. With Tekkai I'd be able to engage in Close Quarter Combat situations confident in the knowledge that I can rely on it if I get into a pinch that involves Physical attacks. Besides that it looks like a nice way to support and strengthen any Taijutsu attack I perform. One of the weaknesses of Taijutsu is that when going against someone who uses Kenjutsu, they could simply cut the limb you're attacking with off. So with this, I can negate that weakness completely. If I'm not mistaken this Jutsu can also be used to withstand the physical effects of Elemental Ninjutsu. For example, using this to withstand Wind Jutsu that deal slashing damage to the user, or to completely overpower an Earth Jutsu, since your muscles will be stronger than the incoming attack, of course, this is only if the Rank of the Jutsu you are trying to withstand is lower than Tekkai (B-Rank or below).
If anything I've said is incorrect, please tell me, otherwise I hope this reply was enough to show my interest in, and understanding of, Tekkai.

You can have it active for as long as you focus chakra on your muscles. Notice on my bio I always have the technique already activated due to mastery over Taijutsu.I don't think I have any questions that would seriously affect my usage of this Jutsu, but I think I have one or two.

Now if you deactivate it after suffering a cut, you won't have any drawbacks. However this is only for physical damage. If somehow you're poisoned through the cut or the technique your opponent has other side effects that aren't related to a physical impact from the strike, you will still suffer from them.
On the usage I would also like to point that since you have this, you can directly counter-attack and not just defend and then attack. That's the aspect of the technique I like more and the aspect I think its users would benefit more from. If someone punches you, you can punch them at the same time without having to worry to defend from the punch. Of course you always need to have a backup plan in case they can suddenly use some kind of technique. An example would be fighting against a samurai. If he swings his sword at you you can even grab the sword and suffer only a superficial cut, however if he suddenly used the samurai sabre technique, he can cut you down!
Now let's see some endurance. Focus some of your strength on your abdominal area and prepare yourself, I'm going to punch you
*I take a step back and do a single punch on your stomach with some strength that would make a normal person feel some pain*
That's really cool then. So long as I don't divert Chakra for another technique, I can keep it up? Cool. And I may follow in your example with that usage, having it active all the time, or at least whenever possible, seems smart.
Okay, I thought as much, but I wanted to be sure. As for poisons and other such effects, I'll make sure and avoid them wherever possible.
That's a really good example, thanks. As for the counter-attacking instead of defending, then attacking aspect, gotta say, I love that part too, I guess I was mainly focusing on the simpler aspects of CQC instead of proper Counter Structure. It's cool that it has a variety of uses, even though it's a pretty simple and straightforward jutsu.
As you step back and get ready to punch me, I prepare myself by tensing up the muscles in my torso, I don't add any Chakra to this process, I wasn't told too. But since I have basic Taijutsu completed and specialized, I would have decent muscle mass from the basic training you go through for Taijutsu, and this would therefore reduce the amount of pain I would feel from the punch. I'm still winded, cause being punched in the gut is no laughing matter, but at least I wouldn't feel the full force of the punch.
Good, you seem tough!
Now channel some chakra towards the same area and focus it on your abdominal muscles. Concentrate it there and focus your strength too. I'll punch you harder now
I take a step back and punch you with my full force making you bend over due to the pain.
You seem to have strenghtned your abdominal area more this time. Now do the same but with more chakra. Then I proceed to punch you again with my full force, hoping that this time you won't suffer any damage or pain

Oh, quick question. Since you channel Chakra into various parts of the body to make the muscles tougher, does it count as a full body surge?
After recovering from the last punch, I tense up the muscles in my abdomen, this time adding Chakra to enhance and alter the strength of the muscles. This makes them incredibly resistant to physical attacks because the chakra affects the muscles overall density making them harder (Much like Kakuzu's Earth Spear, but that channels Earth Chakra throughout the entire body, not just the muscles, and doesn't just make them harder through reinforcement, and actually pseudo-petrifies the user, making physical attacks completely useless, almost like they are punching rock).
It requires something incredibly powerful to pierce or overpower the muscles, and this makes normal, even full-force punches completely ineffective. As you punch me there is a mighty *thud*, but not much else. If you weren't a Master of Taijutsu yourself, you may have broken your hand after punching muscles that were enhanced and reinforced in such a way.

I'd say it doesnt because it's not unfocused. You flow your chakra into your muscles to harden them.

Good, now do the same but on one of your arms
*I perform a handseal and large rock comes out of the ground*
You have to shatter that rock. Now with multiple punches but with a single punch. If you can't do it the first time, then try again. Just dont do multiple punches at the same times.
*Raises another large rock next to the other*
And do the same but with a single kick instead
Once you're done, we will move onto the final phase of the training
Okay. I wasn't sure, so thanks.
I watch as you raise two large boulders from the earth, and direct me to shatter them with a single attack each, one punch, one kick. Instead of diving right in, I decide to test my own might against the rocks, before trying it with the physically enhanced Tekkai attack.
I walk up to the first boulder and draw my fist back to my waist, my knuckles aimed to the sky, a common stance for Taijutsu attacks. I tense the muscles up normally, as one would do when they are trying their damnedest to punch something into a million pieces. I drive my fist into the boulder with everything I have, but I only manage to make a small crack in the surface of the rock, no proper damage is done. I start again, taking a step back and drawing my fist back to my side. This time I channel Chakra into my arm, using the same method I used to withstand your punch to my abdomen. By focusing on the density and overall hardness of my muscles, and using the chakra to alter them, my arm becomes stronger than before, and when I drive my fist into the boulder, more than a meager crack appears, the entire boulder cracks and shatters, spreading debris everywhere. The reason the second attack was far more effective than the first was because the additional support the hardened muscles provide the attack. Harder muscles yield less when they make contact with the target, giving the attack more force. With the first boulder well and truly done, I move on to the second.
As I stare down the second one, I think about how exactly I will go about doing this. If it has to be done in just one kick, then it will be pretty difficult without a plan. A punch is easy, straightforward, but a kick has to be properly executed. You can't expect to take a penalty kick at a large boulder and expect anything other than a broken foot or ankle.
Instead I take a few steps back and simply get myself into a proper position. After a few seconds to compose myself, I dash at the boulder and lift my right leg horizontally, slamming my leg into the boulder at a tremendous speed, but once again I don't manage to get more than a minor dent. I take a few steps back again, knowing that a simple dash won't suffice. Once more I channel Chakra, this time into my leg and like before I use the chakra to reinforce, strengthen and harden the muscles. This time I take a different approach, I take a step forward, then I jump a small bit into the air towards the boulder as I rapidly spin my body, creating a great deal of force from the rotation. I then stop spinning and drive my foot into the boulder. Just like last time, the hardened muscles easily allow me to achieve what before seemed like a daunting task. I land and take a few steps back to admire my handiwork before asking...

It's pretty simple, it either works or you die. Harden the muscles of your entire body otherwise you will be crushed, it's the only and last shot you got.
I stomp on the ground and a huge bulder shots upwards, which i catch with my palm over my head. Are you ready? I will throw this at you full speed! Hope you dont get crushed..
*opens first gate*
I throw the bulder at you, you're hit and the rock continues due to the force as your body gets 'stuck' to the back of it until it finally hits the ground and rolls over, stopping 20 metres away.
Then i head over to check your body... So, how are you feeling? Dead?

"So, just activate it on my whole body simultaneously? That's all? Doesn't seem like much of a..."
I then watch as you raise and hold a massive boulder above your head, then I can see how serious you were when you said that my two choices were "have it work" or "die", But it wasn't until you entered the First Gate that I began to see just how deadly this was, and I began to gather Chakra throughout my body. Through the same method as before, but over a larger area, I use the Chakra to reinforce the muscles core strength in all areas that I can. Not believing it to be enough, or maybe just afraid of the massive boulder hurtling towards me, I hold my hands in front of me, with my palms ready to try and "catch" the incoming continent boulder.
"No, no, no nonononoNO!!" *thud*
As it casually plows into me, sending me back with it, I don't feel half as bad as I should. After some "flying" and rolling, the boulder comes to a stop, with me crushed under it of course. I push the boulder off, it's surprisingly lighter than I had assumed, a side effect of Tekkai probably. As I stand up and rub the back of my head I realize my nose is broken, reinforcing what you noted before, about not all areas of the body having a decent level of muscle mass, and therefore still susceptible to physical damage, despite Tekkai being used on the whole body.
"Was going into the First Gate really necessary? Any harder and you'd have broken more than my nose... Ow... So, is that it? Or are you planning on throwing a mountain at me with the 5th Gate...?" >__>
