xD

The Kaguya clan was the clan which was wiped out by kirigakure. The reason for this was the attack and assault orchestrated by the clan upon the village, the clan's reason was very primal, to show that they were the strongest ever. Of course they were quite fearsome, having the ability to manipulate their bone structure to their liking. The manipulation ranged from controlling small finger bone bullets as projectiles to creating large dense(as the user wishes) weapons from the bone. The attacks used were often named after flowers since the manner of usage is somewhat related.(I find it sarcastic .-. Brutal style named after delicate flowers ;p) Also the bones that were extracted from the body would regenerate inside the body as if nothing had happened. But due to the rarity of the ability and savage brute way of fighting the attack lead to the downfall of the Kaguya.

Not quite completely correct. The ability known as Shikotsumyaku is in its simplest understanding the manipulation of calcium reserves within one's body. This manipulation of calcium is what enables users of Shikotsumyaku to manipulate their skeletal structure by changing the speed at which the bones grow. The calcium can be manipulated to change the density of the bones, the shape, etc. This essentially makes your body a living weapon. The ability also gives the user incredible regenerative power in their cell growth and replication as well. You can't tell this as well in the anime because due to censoring of gore, the anime makes it seem as though the bones fluidly pass through skin, but the way it is in the manga, the bones essentially just rip through skin and tear through flesh, and this flesh seemingly instantaneously regenerates.

Though you possess the bio, I don't think you have full understanding of Shikotsumyaku if you don't understand why its named after flowers. Shikotsumyaku is actually one of the most graceful and elegant of all the taijutsu styles. The Kaguya as a clan may have been a barbaric people, but the ability, which is only shown by Kimimaro, is based of swift agile movements. If you see the fight between Rock Lee and Kimimaro, you'll understand why I say this.

Even the swiftest of kick or punches, no matter how elegantly or gracefully performed stays true to it's root, which is simply the usage of force in order to cause damage. That is well my opinion on the matter. Only exception is probably the gentle fist which attacks internal chakra points.

Good you have passed the initial test. The fighting depends on the way its adapted by the user. I use it true to the usage in the anime. Others may use it different. I also expected you to qualify your previous statement to disprove me. You can go ahead and tell me how you would use the style.

(Yanagi no Mai) - Dance of the Willows
Rank: C
Type: Attack
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: 30
Description: Yanagi no Mai is the first of five Kaguya dance forms. Using the ability to manipulate bone structure, The user will grow and extend a forearm bone through the palm of each hand to form stabbing instruments and impale their opponents.

A really beneficial technique, it's a really sneaky technique, it produces no significant sound when it is being used, and it is not easily noted. The first usage that comes to mind is when my hands are interlocked with my opponents. Like when wrestlers grapple each other to test strength, well if I was in this situation, then I would use the above technique to catch my opponent by surprise and damage them through a sneak attack. Also if there was role-play in a thread and my opponent was shaking my hand or something I could use this to injure their hands, thus preventing hand seals, as a result screwing up most of their arsenal. Another usage is to apply the technique to normal hand to hand combat, like if I am performing a thrust towards my opponent's left shoulder to send him sideways, I can use this to stab him as well. Also it can be used in feints, but not on a grand scale. My opponent would think to exploit my open hand, he might want to punch it away, I will use this at the right moment, thus stabbing him with the bone. This also prevents hand seals.

(Tsubaki no Mai) - Dance of the Camellia
]Rank: C
Type: Attack
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: 30
Description: Tsubaki no Mai is the second of the five Kaguya dance forms. Using the ability to manipulate bone structure, The user removes a long bone in the form of a sword from their shoulder. Because of the bloodline, the density of the bone can be increased many times so that it is as hard as steel. Using fluid and precise acrobatic movements, they cut down any opponent within striking distance.

Well not much of a difference between the usage of this technique and the usage of a sword. The most prominent difference is the durability. Also since this comes from the body, I can neglect carrying a sword with me which in turn allows swifter movement since I lack a sheathe to my hip and what not.

Can normal kenjutsu technique, the ones on the Jutsu list, be performed through this technique? I believe it's a yes, but might as well make sure.
(Teshi Sendan) - Ten Finger Drilling Bullets
Rank: C
Type: Attack
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: 30
Description: Using the Shikotsumyaku ("Dead Bone Pulse") the user is able to fire their distal phalange(finger-tip) bones as bullets. As the bones fly through the air, they will rotate and drill into their target once they make contact. Because of the Kaguya Clan's fast regenerative abilities, the rate of fire from and supply of bones can become limitless.*

Well, other than the ranged application of technique, I see a lot of short range potential. When I am close to my opponent, I deliver an attack with my right hand, my opponent grabs my hands, my hand would be most likely facing them, I would exploit the situation and shoot bone bullets. The close proximity and the speed in which the bullets move mean that it has a very great chance to hit my opponent, thus giving me an opportunity to attack. I can also use this at short range to 'direct traffic' for example shooting towards the opponents feet to make them jump upwards or backwards, or shooting towards their heads to make them duck. I would usually direct them to a attack or an awkward situation. Also since we will be at short range, I will make the attacks a bit obvious so that my opponent falls into my trap.


(Karamatsu no Mai) - Dance of the Larch
Rank: B
Type: Defence/Attack
Chakra Cost: 25
Damage Points: 40
Description: Karamatsu no Mai is the third of the five Kaguya dance forms. The User creates a mass of razor-sharp bone spikes all over their body. The user can grow these bones at an extremely rapid rate so they can stab an opponent even as the bones are growing. Since the Bones are harder than steel, they can be used defensively to block or trap an opponent's strikes.
This technique is a great surprise attack and it makes the user basically untouchable at close range. When an opponent is close to the user, they spin very fast, rapidly slashing the foe in multiple areas of their body.

Pretty much stated in the technique itself.

(Asami no Mai) – Dance of the Beautiful Linen
Rank: B
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 25
Damage points: 40
Description: The user Slices upward with a sword made of bone and then extends his bones from their back into the air violently.

A brutal technique which causes damage on multiple occasions, the first occasion being the sword strike which allows me to temporarily stun the opponent, then the second where bones emerge from my back and stab into the opponent. The stabbing is really beneficial since I am controlling the bones, so I can make them stab my opponent in vital areas like the eyes if I want to toy with my opponent.

(Sawara no Mai) – Dance of the Cypress
Rank: B
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 25
Damage points: 40
Description: The user repeatedly attacks the enemy alternating attacks between their sword and knee bone.

Well basic taijutsu moves that exploit the strength of the kaguya bone structure. Nothing much to add.
(Hiiragi no Mai) – Dance of the Holy
Rank: B
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 25
Damage points: 40
Description: The user advances at the enemy with their bone sword spinning rapidly like a drill and strikes them rapidly in multiple places.

A technique that I don't see myself using a lot, mainly because I am spinning thus my back is to my opponent for a few, so he has opportunities, even in the small timeframe of me spinning, to counter and injure me with a well placed technique. With that in mind this technique is still nice, since I can attack multiple opponents at the same time in different locations as well.

(Keyaki no Mai) – Dance of the Zelkova
Rank: B
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 25
Damage points: 40
Description: The user Knocks the opponent into the air and then appears above them before extending a large number of spikes from their arm to stab the opponent.

I'll use it like the description says, though I will be more precise in how I knock my opponent into the air, possibly combine it with the dance of the beautiful Lenin, providing a nice combo. I also like the spikes, I can do a lot of damage to the opponent through them. I would most likely aim to the back of the head, much more damage caused that way.

(Tessenka no Mai Tsuru) - Dance of the Clematis Vine
Rank: A
Type: Attack
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 35
Damage Points: 60
Description: The First half of Tessenka No Mai, the fourth of the five Kaguya Dance Forms. User removes their spinal column from their back to create a flexible yet extremely sharp bone vine. Because the vine is flexible, it can wrap itself around an opponent to rip them to pieces.

Lovely technique, I can use the bone as a puesedo-whip to a certain extent. This allows me to attack my opponent from blind spots, I can also wrap the bone around the opponent preventing movement allowing me to drag him to the man cave o_<. I mean exploiting the situation and attacking them. Also I can use this to attack multiple opponents simultaneously.
(Tessenka no Mai Hana) - Dance of the Clematis Flower
Rank: A
Type: Attack
Chakra Cost: 35
Damage Points: 60
Description: The follow up to Tessenka no Mai Tsuru (Dance of the Clematis Vine). Using this technique (Flower) the user forms a large spiral shaped bone spear which he can use to pierce any shield his opponent raises. The spear is said to be nearly indestructible.

Though the spear does have it's destructive and defensive capabilities, it is straightforward, so it's not my favored type of technique. I'd use it in tight situations where it is needed, like when my opponent is charging towards me. Also if I had wings or a technique that allows flight, I can use this, increasing efficiency in the process.
(Oniyuri no Mai) – Dance of the Demon Lily
Rank: A
Type: Offensive
Range Short
Chakra cost: 35
Damage points: 60
Description: Whilst Kimimaro is in his cursed seal level two form he attacks the enemy repeatedly with alternate strikes from his hands and tail and then finishes off with a powerful strike from his backbones.
Note: Can only be used by Kimimaro.

Straightforward technique.
(Ryobu no Mai) – Dance of The Diamond World
Rank: A
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 35
Damage points: 60
Description: The user slices downward acrobatically with their sword, slicing the enemies knee.

Not much to add to this really, it's basic yet effective, though the attack on the knee is rather effective, I know this first hand >_>,, but it's a small target, so it's harder to hit.

(Yaemugura no Mai) – Dance of the Eightfold Vines
Rank: A
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 35
Damage points: 60
Description: The user pulls out two bone swords, and then dives onto the opponent, slashing twice. He then unleashes a furry of stabs, knocking the opponent back. He then Dashes behind the opponent, unleashing bone spikes all over their body and impaling the opponent.

A combo in itself.
(Hasagurama no Mai) – Dance of the Hasagurama
Rank: A
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 35
Damage points: 60
Description: The user appears above the enemy, extending his bones and spins downwards like a giant drill to rip through the opponent’s skull.

Nice air based technique, but of course since its air based it has it's disadvantages, mainly that I am airborne making me a easier target. But nevertheless the technique is deadly, so it's worth the risk, and their is always the ol' wind stream technique.
(Negirihana no Mai) – Dance of the Spiral Basil
Rank: A
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 35
Damage points: 60
Description: Kimimaro whilst in Cursed seal two form, strikes the enemy repeatedly with alternate strikes from his hands and then finishes off with a powerful strike from his bone drill, Knocking the enemy backwards.
Note: Can only be used by Kimimaro
A combo in itself.
(Genji Dansu) – Genji Dance
Rank: A
Type: Attack
Range: Mid
Chakra cost: 35
Damage points: 60
Description: The user slashes the opponent with their bone blades and then shoots numerous finger bullets at them and finishes off the opponent by jumping into the air and releasing numerous bones from their back.
(Susuki no Mai) – Dance of the Bell Tree
Rank: A
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 35
Damage points: 60
Description: The user uses their bone sword to strike the enemy with amazing speed at different vital areas of their body.

Not much to add.


(Sawarabi no Mai) - Dance of the Young Ferns
Rank: S
Type: Attack
Range: Short-Long
Chakra Cost: 45
Damage Points: 80
Description: Sawarabi no Mai is the fifth and last of the five Kaguya dance forms. The User causes a giant forest of tall sharp bone spikes to burst up from the ground covering the entire field. While active, the user can merge themselves into the bone trees at will to attack their target from whichever spike they want.
*
I'll use this to stop summons mostly or multiple targets that are scattered about in the field. I'll then merge myself and attack unsuspecting survivors. I'd use a sensory technique like rain tiger at will to make striking and locating opponents easier.

I'm against mass technique training but since you've already done so much I guess we'll have to improvise. I'll make this more situation. Using those technique tell me how you would fight Rock Lee. What strategy would you adopt against him? Consider that he can use the Gates and Drunken Fist.

Well the first thing that comes to mind is defense for the raw power, this would be accomplished through dance of the larch. That would lead to Lee needing to improvise and reconsider his tactics. The other thing I would need to do is use 'wide scaled techniques' which would compensate for Lee's speed. The techniques I would use would be ones that are usually used to attack multiple opponents such as Dance of Camellia or Dance of the Clematis Vine or Dance of the Bell Tree. I would exploit the techniques in order to land hits on him. Also in certain cases I can use the 10 finger bullet technique in order to attack in various areas, I would do this to compensate for the drunken fist's unpredictability.

Your reply was generic. It doesn't truly take account for Rock Lee as your opponent. I could replace Rock Lee with almost anyone else and the meaning wouldn't change. Focus more on how you would change your strategy, not what techniques you would use against him.

I would believe in the heart of the cards :bouncy: U_U

Well, I would need to take out his legs, this would eliminate the speed factor. I would be inclined to do that as soon as possible, because if he went gates on me then the task would be much much harder to accomplish. Also I won't attack the legs for the speed factor alone, Rock Lee is really deadly with his kicks, he, unlike the common CQC fighters, bases his fighting style mostly on his feet and not on his hands. He is somewhat like Sanji from one piece.

The other thing about Rock Lee is his unorganized explosive power while using Drunken Fist, he uses random striking patterns that are accompanied with powerful strikes. I would say I would need to restrict his movement, possibly accomplished by breaking his arms, that would be 'easy', well easier than normal since I can exploit my bones in order to facilitate the process.

Sorry if this is not up to the level you want, I'm not good with theoretical fighting.

Say perchance he gains the upper hand on you and for the time being you are not able to be offensive or put your plan into action, and are forced simply to defend. What would you use to defend and how would you defend against his specific attacks? You already mentioned that Rock Lee uses his feet a lot in combat.

Does dance of the young ferns count as too much trolling xD? It would really troll all xD preventing movement and shiz while I can merge and pop up turning the tables to my favor.

But when that is not available an alternative is needed. Since Lee bases his style on kicks, then 'half' of the time he is 'not completely balanced' he is mostly on one foot(traditional kicking manner) so I would need to exploit that. I will most likely try to stay positioned in a single place in a stance.(One leg in front of the other, body sideways, and arms close to the body) The stance gives me more options to counter. If Lee comes to me from my right side for example in order to deliver a kick, I would move my right foot backwards so it becomes on the same level with my left foot, at that instant I have multiple options in order to react. I can return to my previous position but in a kicking manner, attacking with my right foot in order to deliver a kick to Lee's left side, most likely sending him to the ground since his weight is on his right foot, and his momentum is towards his right, so a kick that is in that direction would send him to the ground.

I can also go for a low kick to Lee's right foot, this would cause him to fall as well, most likely forwards towards me, so I will exploit that and deliver a punch to the face for example. The low kick would also be hard to counter since his momentum would be towards his right from the kick, and stopping his momentum and reversing it to attack me on my foot or me would be a extremely hard thing to do. And in the case Lee decides to exploit the momentum in order to go into a rotation, I would lower myself to the ground support myself with my hands and deliver a rising kick to him from below.

So in essence what I must do is, observe, anticipate, and plot the right moment to counterattack.

Okay, let's go a little beyond theoretical to its application in a certain situation. Write a move for Rock Lee then write a move defending against Rock Lee with Kimimaro. And one requirement is that Rock Lee has to have the upper hand, this is to see how well you would fight against a Kaguya and if you understand your own weaknesses.

I take off my leg weights and quickly begin running toward you at incredible speeds as soon as I get close to you I suddenly change direction to the left and begin running in a circle around you so that you cannot locate me. After running a few laps around you and confusing you, from behind I knock down your left leg with my right leg so that you begin to fall backwards. Then I crouch down and put my arms on the ground and push off the ground onto a hand stand and in that thrusting motion since I position myself so that as my left leg rises up it slams into your back pushing your into the air. Then I jump above you and knock you to the ground.
