[KG] Learning the Hyuga Style
- Thread starter Hazure
- Start date
Okay so lets start with the Byakugan, the dojutsu of the Hyuga clan, what can you tell me about it? How does it look and what abilities does it carry, give me a brief rundown of what you know about the ability and we can go from there.
A wielder of the Byakugan will predominately have white eyes from birth that are featureless when dormant. When activated the Byakugan causes veins to appear on the temples of the user and allows them to see in a 360 degree range of vision, see through solid objects like walls and such, see greater distances as well as seeing the chakra network of anyone they can see. This visual prowess allows for the user to target their opponents chakra points and directly effect the flow and balance of chakra.
Yeah that pretty much sums it up, it's worth noting they have a visual acuity far more precise than the Sharingan or even Rinnegan allowing them to see the tenketsu and target them in a way nobody else can, which is the core of their martial art the gentle fist, with that said. What do you know about Gentle Fist, explain the effects it can cause briefly and why it's such a devastating martial art. I shall post the Byakugan itself for reference now and any questions you may have.
(Dōjutsu: Byakugan) Eye Technique: The All Seeing White Eye
Type: Supplementary
Rank: C
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 15 (+5 per turn to keep active)
Damage: N/A
Description: The kekkei genkai intrinsic to both the Hyūga and Ōtsutsuki clans—descendants of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki. Those who possess this dōjutsu have it manifested as eyes with featureless white irides and no visible pupils. And when activated, the pupils become more distinct and the veins near their temples bulge. To activate the dōjutsu, Hyuga but not Ōtsutsuki clan members are initially obliged to use a rather long and specific sequence of handseals: Horse → Tiger → Boar → Hare → Rat → Dog → Horse → Dog → Hare → Rat → Boar → Snake. But once activated, the dōjutsu user is endowed with a range of skills.
To start, an activated Byakugan gives the user a near 360º diameter field of vision bar one blind spot at the back of the neck, above the first thoracic vertebra. Its vision can penetrate through any solid objects or obstructions, and likewise remains unaffected by blinding interferences. But that being said, certain barriers and the like may distort its perception. In addition, it is able to follow high-speed movements, which enables those with this dōjutsu to analyze their foes' actions and better react to them. The Byakugan is also able to see chakra to a higher degree than the Sharingan and ergo, identify where a person's chakra signature originates from. Beyond that, it can discern certain types of clones from the real person. And its ability to see chakra is in fact so acute that those who possess this dōjutsu are even able to see the chakra pathway system and the 361 tenketsu that comprise it. The Hyūga clan has gone so far as to develop their unique Gentle Fist style in order to capitalize on this particular ability.
Note: Hyuga clan bios of at least Sannin rank become able to passively activate their dōjutsu upon one month having passed since Gentle Fist training concluded. Ōtsutsuki bios never need to expend a move in order to activate it.
Note: While traversing the NW, bios with activated Byakugan are able to see up to two 2 adjacent landmarks away while those of sage rank can see as far as three away, but this doesn't extend beyond an ocean landmark.
The Gentle Fist works by striking the opponents tenketsu directly and applying a concentrated chakra burst into the points to disrupt, block or alter the flow of chakra in ones body. They can cause lasting internal damage as the chakra network is tied so closely with the internal organs of the person, example being in the Chunnin exams where Neji was able to cause severe damage to Hinata through the striking of various points.
I'm not sure what else to really say for the style,
Okay so to add on to this, one of the major perks of gentle fist when fighting other taijutsu styles is the minimal range of motion you need to employ. Because it only needs what is essentially a poke with the fingertips it doesn't require any wind up really, generally speaking it's faster than other styles because of this, it also doesn't rely on hitting certain places to be effective, usually attacks will be aimed at the head with other taijutsu or the torso, but with gentle fist you have a huge amount of viable targets since the tenketsu network covers the entire body.

Type: Offensive
Rank: D

Description: A mini barrage of gentle fist strikes that equal 16 in total. Rather than targeting chakra points, the strikes can hit multiple inner organs to cause more widespread damage overall.
(Jūken: Hakkeshou Kaiten) - Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Palm Revolving Heaven
Type: Defensive/Offensive
Rank: D-S
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 10-40
Damage: 20-80
Description: A maneuver that obliges advanced chakra control—achieved via training in the Gentle Fist style—to release varied amounts of chakra from all of the user's 361 tenketsu, simultaneously. And in the midst of doing so, the user proceeds to rapidly spin and thereby, form a rotating shield of chakra with their own person at the epicenter. This functions as a defense to compensate for the Byakugan's blind spot as the released chakra blocks everything in a true 360° range and is able to send those struck by it careening back.
Note: D to C-rank is short-range while each rank thereafter will increase the diameter by 5 meters.
First three gentle fist techniques, give me a brief breakdown of your thoughts regarding them and ask any questions you might have, I'll answer to the best of my ability. The first two are basic as hell so I don't expect much from you for them, but palm rotation is a very key part of the hyuga so focus on that for sure.

(Jūken: Tenketsushin) - Gentle Fist: Tenketsu Needle
Self explanatory technique, easy to understand its function and execution from its text. Can definately seeing it be used more for RP scenarios then in an actual BA fight or Event, unless restrictions say otherwise for those cases.
(Jūken: Hyūga Ryuu Taijutsu) - Gentle Fist: Hyūga Style Taijutsu
Same answer as the technique before, nothing to really add to this one that I have not already brought up in the previous technique.
(Jūken: Hakkeshou Kaiten) - Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Palm Revolving Heaven
As a technique, it is one of great versatility, effectively able to be used anywhere a person has the room to rotate and the concentration to maintain that level of chakra control. I can see it being used for many occasions in both combat and RP, and expansion through customs (provided such customs have not already been exhausted by other users lol).
Rotation was always one of those techniques from the show that I wished had been expanded on. We saw cases where it resisted attacks and repelled things away from the user as it is designed to do, which added an interesting aesthetic to the fighting style. We have seen it been thwarted by entangling the chakra with spider threads whilst in it rotation, effectively being a counter to the technique, which never quite made sense to me as that would mean the rotation of the chakra had a direct effect on the rotation of the user. We also saw increased size versions through the different medias that Naruto has been released on.
Good, you seem to have an understanding of all three, it's worth noting the fact that you can select both the power and scaling of the rotation is very nice and it also has no usage limit which is uncommon among such potent techniques, you can even use the rotation while airborne as Neji did himself earlier in the show and it will make a perfect sphere when used in such a way.
Moving on to the next three, do the same thing again and breakdown the techniques, give me your thoughts.
(Jūken: Hakke Sanjūni Shō) - Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Sixteen Palms
Type: Offensive
Rank: C
Range: Short
Chakra: 15
Damage: 30
Description: A maneuver that in effect is akin to a halved variant of the Eight Trigrams Thirty-Two Palms and accordingly, halts the flow of chakra that circulates in sixteen tenketsu of the foe's chakra pathway system. If the selected tenketsu are localized to a single limb, then the recipient of this move is rendered unable to use the targeted limb for ninjutsu for one turn, which includes those with applied passives. If the strikes are not all localized to a single limb, then the foe will instead be unable to use chakra surges of S-rank and higher for one turn. Beyond those effects, the usage of this maneuver will reduce the victim's chakra supply and any accumulated senjutsu chakra by 5% per use.
(Jūken: Hakke Kakuu Raishuu) – Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Aerial Attack
Type: Offensive
Rank: C
Range: Short
Chakra: 15
Damage: 30
Description: The user runs toward an enemy at full speed before jumping and hitting one of the foe’s vital organs. Alternatively, the user may jump from a high distance, then descend into the palm attack After being hit, the target will incur a decrease to their base speed.
Note: Base speed is reduced by 1 level per use and the effect lasts for up to five turns.
(Jūken: Byakugan Sandageki) - Gentle Fist: Byakugan Three Strikes
Type: Offensive
Rank: C
Range: Short
Chakra: 15
Damage: 30
Description: The user grabs the opponent's extended arm, flips them around, then strikes them thrice on the back with enough force to send them flying.
(Jūken: Hakke Sanjūni Shō) - Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Sixteen Palms
I do like this technique, the ability to effect the opponents next move, potentially in your favor, does have it's appeal. Taking out a limb for a turn can be useful, especially if you have prior knowledge of what type of techniques they can use with a single hand seal and plan around their following turn. It adds another element of strategic planning that can be greatly used in a story for RP or against others in simple combat. Also pretty much all of the gentle fist techniques would be devastating against an opponent in a Taijutsu exclusive tourny.
(Jūken: Hakke Kakuu Raishuu) – Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Aerial Attack
This technique seems really good if you can pull of multiple against the opponent. I'm not sure how effective decreasing speed is in the RP but if I recall, a persons reaction speed is effected by their base speed? If thats the case you can effect their ability to keep up to you and react to your actions which can be handy in both RP and Events and in the BA.
(Jūken: Byakugan Sandageki) - Gentle Fist: Byakugan Three Strikes
This is an interesting technique, good against the opponent in close quarters with the chance to deal some damage and put distance between you both, or it can be used to set up a combo with another technique for example, using this to get behind the opponent and hit them from behind with a rotation or alternatively with tenketsu strikes to add pressure on the opponent.
Good analysis of the techniques, to answer your question yes dropping someones base speed can affect tracking. To add to your analysis of three strikes, it's often overlooked as a counter taijutsu, because it works on an opponent with an extended arm you can use this particular technique in combination with a freeform dodge to avoid a punch then chain it immediately in to the three strikes tech by grabbing their arm.
Okay next three and same again.
(Jūken: Hakke Sanjūni Shō) - Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Thirty-Two Palms
Type: Offensive
Rank: B
Range: Short
Chakra: 20
Damage: 40
Description: A maneuver that in effect is akin to a halved variant of the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms but is able to be performed at 1.5x the user's current speed and accordingly, halts the flow of chakra that circulates in thirty-two tenketsu of the foe's chakra pathway system. The recipient of this move will be rendered unable to use more than 50 chakra in individual attacks, which includes those with applied passives, for three turns. Beyond that effect, the usage of this maneuver will reduce the victim's chakra supply and any accumulated senjutsu chakra by 10% for two turns.
(Jūken: Shukūken) - Gentle Fist: Palm Bottom
Type: Offensive
Rank: B
Range: Short
Chakra: 20
Damage: 40
Description: This attack consists of a quick, precise thrust of the user's palm to an opponent's body. Like other Gentle Fist techniques, it sends chakra into the target to cause internal damage that paralyzes them for one turn.
(Jūken: Chou) - Gentle Fist: Block
Type: Defensive
Rank: B
Range: Short
Chakra: 20
Damage: N/A (+10 if the opponent makes direct contact)
Description: The user exerts chakra from several tenketsu from a single part of their body, this chakra is gathered roughly ten centimeters away from the user's skin and forms a small shield of chakra, no bigger than twice the size of an average palm conveniently useable as a way to block tai/kenjutsu attacks(upto B-Rank) but is weak to elemental techniques as it's merely raw chakra which does not require advanced chakra manipulation. If the opponent makes physical contact with the shield they will suffer slight damage across the part of their skin which connected with it. The shield itself is no bigger than twice the size of an average palm and can block Tai/Kenjutsu attacks up to B-Rank as well as Elemental attacks up to C-Rank within reason.
Note: Useable five times per event
Note: Courtesy of Tybone.
Good point, it makes sense to use it as a counter in that fashion. Thanks for pointing that out.
(Jūken: Hakke Sanjūni Shō) - Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Thirty-Two Palms
A more advanced version of the Sixteen Palms with more elaborate effects that apply to the person it's used against. The user can use this technique faster then their current speed which if you have inhibited their speed beforehand makes it harder to avoid. The effects last longer as well which make for more chances to gain an advantage over the opponent.
(Jūken: Shukūken) - Gentle Fist: Palm Bottom
A simple and effective move, that if successful will leave the opponent paralyzed, allowing for the user to be able to gain an advantage for a turn. Would be good to combo with other techniques like 32-Palm, Aerial Attack or a Rotation above them to slam them directly into the ground below.
(Jūken: Chou) - Gentle Fist: Block
Simple and effective yet strangely repetitious (lol). Its a good staple blocking option against tai and ken, its versatile and I would say a nice staple for decent RP and moderate combat. Assuming it can also be used in a simple bash strike against someone as well that can do minor damage if it makes contact with them.
Yeah you have the gist of them, there isn't really any secret tricks or tips for these ones they're just simple and effective as you say, however gentle fist: block isn't particularly useful in the current RP I'd say, it was one of those moves that had more use back when people didn't know you could freeform dodge Taijutsu stuff legally. Next three!
(Jūho: Tamashii Baindingu Saakuru) - Gentle Step: Soul Binding Circle
Type: Offensive
Rank: B
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra: 20
Damage: 40
Description: The user channels chakra into one of their feet. Once they do, they will quickly stomp the ground and in the same motion, release a wave of chakra that quickly travels above ground surface. More specifically, the chakra manifests as a white omnidirectional ring that, upon contact with an enemy's body, the chakra will briefly paralyze their feet. It is similar to Palm Heel Strike, insofar as it causes one's muscles to be slightly damaged. This can also be applied through a kick, should it connect with the target, and forces the user's chakra into a specific bodily area with even more potent effects. The attack, itself, lacks tangible properties and ergo, phases through physical techniques (e.g., Earth and Water) without being hindered.
Note: Each application is useable only twice per battle.
Note: Paralysis lasts one or two turns—first and second applications, respectively.
Note: Courtesy of Nakiri.
(Jūken: Hakkeshou Kuuten) - Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Palm Grating Heaven
Type: Offensive/Defensive
Rank: B-S
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 20-40
Damage: 40-80
Description: A variant of Eight Trigrams Palm Revolving Heaven whereby the user follows the same process but also shapes the outputted chakra into razor sharp blades. Ergo, those struck by it are not repelled by concussive force but are instead subjected to being reduced to small shreds by coming into contact with what is akin to a giant revolving grater.
Note: B-rank is short-range while each rank thereafter increase the range by one level.
Jūkenpō/Fūton: Tekken no Shippuu) – Gentle Fist Style/Wind Release: Gale Fist
Type: Supplementary
Rank: B
Range: Self
Chakra: 20
Damage: N/A (+10 to Gentle Fist)
Description: One of the most basic weaknesses of Gentle Fist is it's raw nature, unable to withstand elemental chakra of the same level unless it possesses a greater density or an advanced shape-.. this technique has been developed to overcome said weakness. Just before executing a Gentle Fist technique and in the same timeframe a Hyuuga converts the raw chakra to wind chakra a split second before exerting it. Due to the nature given to the chakra it gains a slight cutting ability aswell as a slight gusting force behind it but due to the conversion of the nature of the chakra into wind chakra it loses it's ability to deal internal damage and solely damages the target externally, making this technique most suited towards ranged Gentle Fist techniques that do not rely on internal damage in the first place. This technique however can only be utilized in combination with gentle fist techniques that do not require advanced shape manipulation nor the ones that possess an increased density such as the rotation techniques.
Note: Requires mastery of Gentle Fist.
Note: No Gentle Fist above A-Rank in the next turn.
Note: Usable four times per battle with a one turn cooldown inbetween uses.
Note: Courtesy of Tybone
(Jūho: Tamashii Baindingu Saakuru) - Gentle Step: Soul Binding Circle
Interesting technique, I can see it being used if a technique doesnt connect like you want it to, so you redirect the combo by using this and force the opponents hand to react to it or forced to lose some ability for footwork. Its got a decent range and versatility to it, I like the fact that you can combine it with a general kick to the opponent or if you ar stepping in close proximity around them.
(Jūken: Hakkeshou Kuuten) - Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Palm Grating Heaven
So basically the user slashes instead of repels. Can be combo'd with many of the different Gentle Fist techniques that inhibit the opponent to increase the effectiveness of this tech. Could possibly try applying different elemental natures to it to add effects.
Jūkenpō/Fūton: Tekken no Shippuu) – Gentle Fist Style/Wind Release: Gale Fist
This seems like a very interesting technique. It reminds me of that Hurricane Fist technique that got abused too much in the early days. I like that you can combine with with different gentle fist techniques (at least to the ones it can be used with as stated in the technique) to add in more versatility and change up attack patterns and such.
Ah yes the old hurricane fist era, body flicker was banned but people still wanted to move fast so reverse air punches were the wave. Out of those three I like grating heaven the most, back in the day you could survive blunt damage solely because it was blunt, whereas sharp damage cutting stabbing etc could kill you even if it was like a freeform kunai. Thank god for the health system amirite. But nevertheless I like the fact that grating heaven opens the door for a sharpening of hyuuga style techs, I'm a big fan of bleeding damage after all.
Next three!
(Shugohakke Rokujūyon Shō) - Protecting Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms
Type: Offensive/Defensive
Rank: A
Range: Short
Chakra: 15
Damage: 30
Description: A potent Gentle Fist maneuver that capitalizes on the user's Byakugan to envision an Eight Trigrams circle, which sets the stage for the foe within this circle to be hit by a huge series of precise strikes aimed at sixty-four tenketsu that comprise a portion of their chakra pathway system. Each successful strike halts the flow of chakra that ordinarily passes through the given tenketsu and makes chakra control a much harder endeavor. The recipient of this move will be rendered unable to user more than 35 chakra in individual attacks, which includes those with applied passives, for two turns. Beyond that effect, the usage of this maneuver will reduce the victim's chakra supply and any accumulated senjutsu chakra by 25% for four turns.
(Juken: Hakkeshō Hachimon Hougeki) - Gentle Fist: Eight Triagrams Eight Gates Assault
Type: Offensive
Rank: A
Range: Short
Chakra: 30
Damage: 60
Description: A specialized derivative of Eight Trigrams that targets the tenketsu specific to the Eight Inner Gates (EIG) mode. The user strikes the gates one by one with their gentle fist taijutsu to completely halt the flow of chakra that would otherwise pass through. This effectively enables the user to prevent the tenketsu from being opened or even close any tenketsu that are opened. In addition, closing an individual tenketsu will prevent the target from not only being able to access the corresponding gate but any higher gate as well. Conversely, targeting a higher gate will not curtail one's access to lower gates.
(Jūken: Ichigekimi) - Gentle Fist: One blow Body
Type: Offensive
Rank: A
Range: Short
Chakra: 30
Damage: 60
Description: A technique born from the Hyuga clan's intrinsic ability to expel chakra from every tenketsu on their body, a clan member can hit their opponent with a blast of chakra that will send them flying away from the user. It was also shown that this technique can be used with pin-point accuracy to target the weak point of a technique exemplified when Neji Hyūga was trapped by Kisame Hoshigaki's Water Prison Technique, and was able to dispel it.
Yeah, health is good and bleeding damage would be pretty fun to utilize against someone.
(Shugohakke Rokujūyon Shō) - Protecting Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms
Probably one of the most iconic techniques for Gentle Fist and one that is a personal favourite of mine for nostalgic reasons. The technique in of itself is easy enough to understand after reading its predecessors, and I do like the limitation of chakra effect. One question I have is that the effects don't stack correct? Like if I used 32 palm and then followed up with 64 palm the following turn, would one replace the other or would both effects be in play on the opponent should they be successful?
(Juken: Hakkeshō Hachimon Hougeki) - Gentle Fist: Eight Triagrams Eight Gates Assault
A very specific technique to use against someone, only really applies its effects to those that would be using the EIG, and I am unsure how many of them there are to be honest. The damage is nice and the effect is straightforward to read, so knowing where the tenketsu that directly effect the EIG would be beneficial to know.
(Jūken: Ichigekimi) - Gentle Fist: One blow Body
Seems like a pretty useful technique to not only make some distance between you and the opponent if needed, as well as using to counter a technique that would try to entrap you within something. I would assume that the distance that the opponent is flung would be either short to mid range?
I believe in the case of the numbered palms the effects won't stack it'll just replace the former if you land both, since you'd be targeting a majority of the same tenketsu probably. Although it may stack I'd honestly have to ask a mod for total clarification since I've never actually seen that happen. The gates are the largest tenketsu in the body and they're all on the centerline of the body generally so eight gates assault is easy to use targeting wise. One blow body will throw them back a couple meters like short range, one thing to note is that in the RP one blow body is considered unfocused raw chakra meaning you can't block A ranks with it only B ranks so be careful.
Next two!
(Hakuro Tenbu) – Heavens Dance of Hazy White
Type: Offensive
Rank: A
Range: Short
Chakra: 30
Damage: 60
Description: The user begins by coating one of their hands with dense chakra and so much so that the chosen hand turns white in color. They then proceed to take several swipes at the opponent and conclude their assault by clapping their hands. The resulting clap has the formally dense chakra expand outwards with concussive force that follows a conical blast radius. Prior to this clap, the several swipes are on par with elemental techniques of the same rank.
(Hakke Kūshō) Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm
Type: Offensive
Rank: A/S
Range: Short-Mid/Short-Long
Chakra: 30-40
Damage: 60-80
Description: The user precisely pinpoints the enemy's vital points with the Byakugan and releases a high-speed palm thrust. A "vacuum shell" compressed using the Gentle Fist style is formed to attack the opponent's organs and soft tissue from a distance, blowing them off their feet with tremendous force before they even notice they were hit. In order to attain more power and range (S-rank) then a variation of this, Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm Wall, necessitates that both hands are used. In this case, a more potent wave of compressed chakra is released with great force from both palms, simultaneously. And the result from this can be increased damage to not only the foe's targeted organs and soft tissue but also their hard tissue (e.g., bones). Of course, this variation has sufficient force to send a foe careening as far as five meters.
(Hakuro Tenbu) – Heavens Dance of Hazy White
I like this technique, it kind of reminds me of the Clap Technique that Nagisa uses in Assassination Classroom. So since the strikes would be equal strength of an elemental technique, does that mean I could use it to counter, for example, an earth technique of the same rank, or does it mean that it just has equivalent strength of an elemental technique?
(Hakke Kūshō) Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm
Easily understood technique, its functions are clear and the 2 different ranked variations are easy to tell from the other in terms of method of use and effect. Does internal damage play any role in combat? Like any adverse effects if this were to be successfully used against an opponent?
In regards to the first technique it's basically telling you that despite being raw chakra the compression allows it to have the same strength as an elemental technique, kinda like the rasengan. It doesn't suffer from the weakness that one blow body does for example. So yes this means you could destroy opposing elemental techniques like A rank earth.
Internal damage doesn't really play a role in combat at the moment but this vacuum palm does open up some opportunities for using status effects in your hyuuga CJ. Additionally it's quite powerful as a sneak attack if you're jumping someone, as it occurs very fast.
Alright last three
(Juken: Hakke Hyaku Nijūhachi Shō) - Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams One Hundred Twenty-Eight Palms
Type: Offensive
Rank: S
Range: Short
Chakra: 40
Damage: 80
Description: A doubled version of the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms technique, but also performed at twice the speed of the latter. This is used to close off the flow of chakra through one hundred twenty-eight chakra points of an opponent's Chakra Pathway System. This eliminates their ability to use B-rank and above levels of chakra for two turns while also making it difficult for them to move. Alternatively, it can be used to quickly hit multiple targets.
(Jūken: Hakke Hazan Hogeki) – Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Crumbling Mountain Palm
Type: Offensive
Rank: S
Range: Short
Chakra: 40
Damage: 80
Description: The user begins with cupped hands that are drawn to their side while a large quantity of chakra is being rapidly concentrated into a single point in their palms. They then thrust their palms forward to strike the enemy while discharging the chakra, which increases in both power and size as it continues. Upon striking the foe, the chakra appears to burst from their back in the form of a narrow beam that quickly enlarges into a mountain-busting wave. Not only does this inflict tremendous harm unto the foe, it momentarily cripples the victim as they lose access to half of their current chakra supply.
(Jūken: Jūho Sōshiken) - Gentle Fist: Gentle Step Twin Lion Fists
Type: Offensive/Supplementary
Rank: S
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra: 20
Damage: 40 (+20 to Taijutsu/+30 to Gentle Fist)
Description: The user exudes chakra from both hands and by utilizing advanced chakra control, mold the chakra into a form highly reminiscent of large guardian lion-shaped shrouds to greatly increase both the range and destructive power of their taijutsu. These lion-shaped shrouds are able drain the chakra network of those they touch and can be used in conjunction with any of the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms variants, increasing the damage by 30 while sacrificing the ability to limit chakra usage. But that being said, it is quite difficult to achieve this move and even a minute error with regards to chakra control will result in failure.
Note: Lasts up to three turns per use and has a three-turn cooldown.
(Juken: Hakke Hyaku Nijūhachi Shō) - Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams One Hundred Twenty-Eight Palms
A technique that can be used against multiple opponents as long as they are in close proximity with the user, could lead to some interesting role playing shenanigans. A clean and concise technique, no questions.
(Jūken: Hakke Hazan Hogeki) – Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Crumbling Mountain Palm
An insane technique if you can pull it off. Again, it's easy enough to understand its function and usage. My only thing is that it is an S-Rank Tech that doesnt seem to have any restrictions or drawbacks, which s-ranks usually do. Im not sure if that was an oversight when it was first written into the role-play or not but its a damn fine technique lol
(Jūken: Jūho Sōshiken) - Gentle Fist: Gentle Step Twin Lion Fists
Probably my favorite of all the techniques for Gentle fist, i loved it when it was introduced into the manga and anime. My only question for this one is involved in the damage. So this can be used with Eight Trigram varients and gain a +30 to the damage, is this technique a psuedo-mode that can by used with any taijutsu for the extra 20 damage that is listed in the damage bracket? or just with regular Gentle Fist Tai that isnt an Eight Trigram varent?
I believe Mountain Palm is simply unrestricted because it's hard to actually pull off in a fight, great technique but not a super powerful one and a lot of canon jutsu are unrestricted even at S rank when they're not super powerful or useful constantly. As for the twin lion fists, I'm pretty sure the plus twenty applies to any taijutsu period, though I'd probably only use it with hand based taijutsu logically, it wouldn't make much sense to boost kick based taijutsu with them after all.
With that said, that's everything congratulations on completing your training in Gentle Fist!
