Hachibushu - Eight Deva Guardians
Type:Nintaijutsu
Background: Master Chen, the developer of Konoha Ryujin was not the only one of his caliber to exist. In reality, there were 8 of them. Master Chen being the most famous. Each of these taijutsu masters were assigned an animal or creature. Using the same general formulation for konoha ryujin, the other seven taijutsu masters were capable of creating all type of creatures. One of the 7 masters took it upon himself to master the styles of all the other. With all these forms mastered, he condensed it into one unique fighting style known as Hashibushu, in honor of himself and the other members.
Description on the Abilities and Inner Workings of the Style:
Hachibushu are based loosely on the concepts behind the powerful jutsu ( Konoha Ryujin ) - Leaf Dragon God. As shown below, the Leaf Dragon God is formed through the the users own physical power (through the use of the spinning kick) shaping the air into currents through movement.
This means that the user kicks out and as he kicks, he shapes the air currents with his leg movement. Through this logic, the user attacks with various limbs, moving at such a level he shapes the air currents around him. Using control over these air currents as he shapes them, the user is capable of forming several different animals with different responses upon formation. This can be done in a series of methods, namely 3 main releases. These forms are named Yasha, Naga and Kinnara. Based on leg movements, Naga attacks are initiated by kicks in different motions, shaping different currents into different beasts. Done in similar fashion to the Konoha Ryujin, these kicks shape the wind in the direction of the kick, curving and causing a small whirlwind of air as the currents shape into different shapes. This alters from the Konoha Ryujin attacks as it shapes the wind into cyclone like formations, constantly spinning in the same direction. The user shapes the air currents to form different four legged animals, air currents constantly flowing in different angles and directions to maintain their shape and power, allowing these beasts to fight off elemental ninjutsu of the same rank and below.
Based around arm movements, Yasha attacks are initiated by swift punches and movements that shape air currents as the arms cut through the air. Similar to the original usage of Konoha Ryujin, these punches shape the air as the user punches, curving the currents in a way they form different winged animals. These beasts all move at swift speeds, capable of moving at high speeds and impacting the enemies at high impacts. These beasts, often of massive sizes, are able to fight against elemental ninjutsu of the same rank and lower, though this of course is situational as some jutsu would obviously not be able to be bested by birds.
Based around full body movements, Kinnara attacks are initiated by full body movements including rotations, flips etc that shape air currents as the person’s entire body cuts through the air. The body moves through the air, similar to the usage of Konoha Ryujin, curving the currents in a way to form different forms of primates. Compared to the other forms, Kinnara involves the entire body therefore making the power of the currents the strongest. These beasts, often of massive sizes, are able to fight against elemental ninjutsu of the same rank or lower. Kinnara based techniques are slower moving than the other forms but make up for it in brute force.
In a close range aspect, the user can use these chakraless gusts of wind to empower their physical hits using the above mentioned styles of the fighting style itself. For example, using Yasha and its swift and sweeping arm movements to strike an opponent in their chest while creating a winged animal such as a bird that slams into the opponent at full force.

Each ox is made up of cyclone like formations.
