We start at Short Range
I'll use Itachi Uchiha in my signature. It's outdated but I'm S-Class. If my Ibaraki Douji biography gets approved I'll switch Itachi out for him instead, though it won't make a difference in the fight.
I'm bored. Anyone S-Class or above wanna take this? You can decide who gets the first move.
Pride bio in my signature, just custom Hyuga. I can hold off on using gentle fist stuff if you'd like. Also might be swapping out bios if my pending one gets approved any time soon, but still a Hyuga.

Awesome. I might try some unorthodox things so if my moves seem weird or you think they wouldn't work, feel free to VM me! It looks like both of our bios were approved, so I'll use

and you can use Jaguar D. Saul. You can use Akimichi techniques if you want."Uwah, you're huge. You sure you can keep up big guy? This is my first battle, so I need you to make me look good."
I say indifferently with my left hand resting on the hilt of my sheathed sword. However beneath the blase facade of a mediocre man, I briefly analyze your body language and look for an opening to exploit.
*How about this..*
After a few seconds, I remove two kunai from the pouch on my waist, holding one in each hand. One is an explosive kunai with a tag attached at the handle
while the other is an ordinary kunai knife
. With my left hand, I swiftly toss the explosive kunai in your direction. The tag is set to detonate a meter before hitting you, generating a very small, controlled explosion. While the explosion wouldn't bring you any physical harm, it would create a small smoke cloud that briefly hangs in the air in front of you.
As the smoke cloud forms, I dash towards your location while using it to hide my movements. A few seconds later, as I come within the appropriate range, I erupt through the smoke and pivot clockwise on the ball of my left foot, performing a spinning back kick in such a way that I drive my right heel into your left temple.
The smoke would hide my movements until the moment before I actually kick you, partially masking the large movement required for me to attack you like this, therefore making it harder for you to react to my speed. If you happen to have moved while behind the smoke, I would swiftly readjust myself to hit you wherever you are. The force of my kick is such that it would easily knock you unconscious upon connecting.
(Konoha Gōriki Senpū ) - Leaf Strong Whirlwind
Rank: B
Type: Attack
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: N/A
Damage Points: 40
Description: A taijutsu using a combination of speed and power. The essence of this technique is concentrated in a spinning back kick, with such speed that makes it hard to follow the user's movement, smashing his enemy with overwhelming strength. This is a more Powerful leaf great whirlwind.
As I follow through with my kick, the smoke clears away.
Dereshishishi! Don't let ma size fool ya, I'm kinda nimble on ma feet!
Once the kunai was thrown, Saul reached for the handle of the sword held on his back, preparing to parry it before it could reach him. But, at some distance away it erupted, casting a screen of smoke in front of him. He released the grip on the sword and instead went into a fighting stance, preparing to react at first sight of attack. It came more quickly than Saul had anticipated, this opponent was no slouch. He didn't have the speed to intercept the sudden assault, but he was a large man with strong defensive capabilities. He focused chakra to the area of his head that was in line to take the attack. The foot struck his temple and his body swayed in the opposite direction, pivoting his hips while keeping both foot planted firmly on the ground. His upper body came to a rest at an almost parallel position to the ground, his hips pushed to their utmost flexibility. Then, like a spring, it all came recoiling back at Ibaraki. At Saul returned to his initial position, he struck out with both palms, thrusting them into Ibaraki's chest. The already large palms were made to feel even larger as a ripple of chakra was expelled from them, making it feel as though the entire surface of his opponent's torso was struck by the attack.
Type: Defense
Rank: A
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 30
Damage: 60
Description: This technique is used to counter strikes towards the upper torso or head of the practitioner. Using careful chakra control they'll momentarily reinforce the point of impact to minimize damage while allowing their upper body to move with the strike by swaying their hips. They'll then use their hips to convert the momentum of their body and rebound towards the opponent at high speeds while striking out with both palms releasing a ripple through the opponent's body that can encompass their entire torso.
-Can defend A-rank and below taijutsu.
-Can be used three times per battle.
By the time you spring forward, my right foot will have landed back on the ground. Going with the momentum of my previous attack, I pivot clockwise on my left foot once more and step backwards on my right foot as you lean forward to attack. This is done in such a way that I arc-step backwards and just barely out of the way of your attack before it can be effectively applied. My position when I avoid your attack would be such that you would be looking at my left profile.
I don't stop moving however. In a consecutive, fluid motion, I continue to rotate my body clockwise and flip sideways [from my left to right] over your extended arms. Using your larger size to my advantage, your arms support my back while my body weight holds your arms down to prevent you from defending against my next attack. As I flip across you, I perform a forward spinning kick, driving my extended left foot into the same spot as before -- your right temple.
"Haha, not bad big guy.."
*Even though I say that, he ate that last kick like it was nothing. His strength is the real deal.*
However, as I've already done this once before, I'm well aware that you can easily defend yourself. So after my kick, as I roll over your arms and land on the ground, I take the kunai in my right hand and drive it into your stomach [on your left side]. I support the kunai with my left hand, pushing the handle forward with my open palm. This way, the kunai would be driven so far into your body that the kunai would in its entirety would be in your stomach.
"..But let's see how well that sits."
This is basically what I'm doing, followed by stabbing you.
He was a nimble foe, his body twisting and contorting to avoid the strike. A foot found its way to the same spot as before, but this time it caught him flush and off guard, stunning him for a moment and causing him to stagger back. He shook it off but had little time to recover as a kunai was en route towards his stomach. Instinctively he reached up with his left hand and caught the incoming wrist, however the bladed weapon had already stabbed into his body.
It was painful, but Saul knew his heavy body could endure the strike, and so he used that moment to seize his opponent. His left hand was already wrapped around the smaller wrist like a python suffocating its prey, with his right hand he reached out and grabbed the collar of his opponent's white t-shirt. In one swift movement he lifted the man into the air over his head and twisted him, before slamming him back to the ground, now on the opposite side, back first.
( Arashi Nageru ) - Tornado Throw
Type: Offensive
Rank: B
Range: Short
Chakra cost: N/A
Damage points: 40
Description: The user grabs ahold of a target by their clothing and then spins them around in a circular motion above their head. Using the momentum of the spin the user then slams the target into the ground.
Saul followed with a simple, but strong kick that drove the toes of his right foot into the top of the man's right shoulder. The kick pushed the man along the ground where he skidded for several feet before tumbling to a halt.
(Kikku) Kick
Type: Offensive
Rank: D
Range: Short
Chakra: N/A
Damage: 20
Description: One of the simplest moves in Taijutsu, the user will simply hit the opponent with a kick from one of his legs. He is free to choose simple variations of the kick and the stronger he is, the more dangerous the technique is.
With some distance created, Saul had a moment to process his wounds. A small trickle of blood seeped out of his left temple and ran down his cheek. The kunai was stuck half-way in his stomach, a wound that could be crippling to most people, but not one of his enlarged stature. The buffer of fat around his body shielded his internal organs from the weapon, though it was still not something to brush off.
(Shibou) - Blubber (reference)
Type: Supplementary
Rank: A
Range: N/A
Chakra Cost: N/A
Damage: N/A
Description: This "technique" is the result of a high fat diet and years of drinking unhealthy amounts. The person accumulates a large amount of weight through the formation of a thick layer of fat around their body. The thick layer of fat acts as a cushion against incoming blunt attacks, greatly reducing the effectiveness of things such as punches or kicks. It also acts as a buffer between the muscles and organs of the body. For instance a cut that would spill the intestines of a normal sized person would fail to reach the insides of a person using this. It will still hurt and leave a large wound, but won't be life threatening. Being an anhydrous tissue, fat is a poor conductor of electricity. As a result the person is protected from paralytic affects from unfocused lightning techniques. While they're protected from the paralytic effects of the lightning, they in turn become burned in the fatty areas where the lightning meets resistance. They still receive the damage of the attack, just in the form of burns rather than paralysis. Fat is also a very good insulator of heat allowing the person to maintain a relatively stable internal temperature in cold weather, though they may be prone to heat exhaustion. The excess weight also reduces the person's speed and agility by the equivalent of two ranks. They also become susceptible to exhaustion causing them to be limited to two moves every third turn.
-Must be attached to the character's biography.
-Only available to "large" characters (i.e. Akimichi or reasonable Customs).
-Only affects areas where layers of fat accumulate.
-Reduces the character's speed by two ranks.
-Limited to two moves every third turn.
He pulled the kunai free and dropped it to the ground.
Gah, that hurt! Lucky I got all dis paddin' here or else I'da be in trouble.
As my body is thrown onto the ground I perform Ukemi to reduce the amount of damage I would take. The force of the impact is distributed across my entire body, allowing me minimize the damage to around half of what it would originally be. Immediately afterwards, I receive your kick. The impact sends me tumbling backwards a few feet, but I roll my body in such a way that I maneuver back into a kneeling position while facing you.
"Whew, you're pretty fast big fella. Before I knew it, I was being thrown through the air."
*That friggin' hurt!! I reduced the damage of the fall, but still! How strong is this guy?*
After taking a second to reset, I dash towards you once again while unsheathing my sword with my left hand. While running in such a way that my upper body is stooped over and closer to the ground, I thrust the sword forward and stab it into your right calf. In a consecutive motion, I continue to move forward, stepping on the hilt of my sword with my left foot and jumping up off of it. The act of stepping on and jumping off of the sword causes it to dislodge itself while tearing your calf apart; meanwhile, I raise my right hand and perform an uppercut, driving my open palm into your chin from below. This combination of attacks would have you reeling back off balance, allowing me to bend down and safely retrieve and re-sheathe my sword.
Seeing his opponent unsheathe his sword, Saul reaches over his right shoulder with his right hand and grips the handle of his own blade, but leaves it secured for the moment being. Bending his knees and focusing on his foe he waits, looking for the opening. The man held his body close to the ground and then struck out like a snake, aiming to drive his weapon through Saul's leg. With a quick leap up and forward, Saul went into a somersault above his opponent. As he turned upside down, he drew the blade and slashed down across Greyrat's back, starting at the back of his right hip and moving up towards his left shoulder. Having turned in the air, Saul landed facing his dance partner, his blade pointing diagonally at the ground past his left hip.
The slash would leave a healthy gash, but would be too shallow for major damage. With his arm already somewhat across his body, Saul raised it higher so that his arm would cross just above his chest with the blade horizontally wrapped around his back. His left arm was bent at the elbow with his forearm vertically placed tucked underneath his right arm. Simultaneously he unleashed his coiled right arm while driving his left elbow back and up, using his left forearm to increase the power of the horizontal slash to the point where not even steel could stand in its way. His blade carved a path into his opponent's back or chest, depending on which way he was now facing.
(Kagatsuchi Kata: Gurensen) - Form of the Fire God: Spinning Crimson Lotus
Type: Attack
Rank: B/A
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra Cost: 20/30
Damage: 40/60
Description: The form of the fire god is a style of the Ogame school in which the swordsman focuses on raw power for their attacks. In this technique the user stands with their right arm across their body bent at the elbow so their form is vertical and the wrist is in front of the left eye. The left arm is held perpendicular to the base of the right forearm across the chest and sword in the left hand with the blade extending back behind the swordsman. They will then drive their right elbow back and up while swiping the sword in the left hand horizontally across their body. This creates a circular attack that can strike multiple enemies with tremendous power capable of slicing through standard weapons within short range. This can be upgraded by adding fire chakra causing the blade to release a wave of fire to mid-range when swung.
~Can only be used by a person trained in the Ogame school of kenjutsu.
~Can only be used twice per battle.
~Can be seen here if the description isn't clear enough:
Awesome move. I had to think about this one for a bit, let me know if you have any comments.The moment immediately after you jump into the air, I rise off the ground and attempt a cross counter. Transitioning from the left handed thrust, I push up off the ground with the opposite
leg and aim to drive my right shoulder into your abdomen with incredible force. This prevents you from flipping forward and completing your somersault, and would likely knock the wind out of you due to you being in the air and unable to prepare yourself. My shoulder would hit you as you would be the process of brandishing your sword and slashing me. Due to our new relative positions [with you being unable to front-flip] your aim would be a bit off an you wouldn't be able to go across my whole back. However, with the wind knocked out of you, you also wouldn't be able to put your full power behind the sword and the slash would still be superficial.
*winces from the pain.*
The physical impact of my shoulder strike should propel you away from me, however I first take advantage of our close proximity. Immediately after thrusting my shoulder into you, in a fluid and consecutive motion, I thrust the sword in my left hand forward and through your stomach at point blank range. In this short moment, my blade would pierce through the entirety of your body, exiting your lower back. Although this would also put me in a vulnerable position, I gather you wouldn't be able to do something like stabbing me through the back, as doing so would mean having your sword pass through both of our bodies [due to proximity].
As you're sent away from me, I pull my sword out of your body and land back on the ground, sheathing my sword afterwards. From what I gathered earlier, these stab wounds probably don't deal as much damage to you as they do to ordinary people. And so, I watch and await your reaction, knowing that such an attack probably wasn't enough to finish you off.
"So ..*catches breath*.. this is what people mean when they say the "D's" are always causing trouble."
(Tokken) - Thrusting Shoulder
Rank: C
Type: Attack
Range: Short
Chakra cost: N/A
Damage points: 30
Description: The user will jump into the opponent thrusting their shoulder to strike them.
Looks good to me. From what you're describing I don't think I'd be able to get off any slash at all, so no wound to worry about.
He should have known better than to try and be acrobatic, it just wasn't his strength. Saul caught a shoulder to the stomach for his efforts, halting him in midair and pushing him back as the air was forced out of his lungs. He landed with a stagger but caught himself from falling. As before there was little time to gather himself. His opponent's blade was aimed for his his large stomach, and easy target to hit. His right hand was still gripped around the handle of his sword over his right shoulder, but there was no time to draw it and intercept. Instead, he reached up with his free left hand and caught the blade, grasping it tightly. This would have been a futile effort to most, earning them nothing more than a loss of fingers, but Saul was a Hyuga who had years of harsh training built into his palms. With a little added chakra, his hand became as hard as the steel of his sword. A shallow layer of skin was cut allowing his blood to soak the blade, but it was no more than a superficial wound.
Tekken | Iron Fist
Rank: A
Type: Supplementary
Range: Self
Chakra cost: 40
Damage points: +10 to Taijutsu that involves using ones hands
Description: After spending years training in Taijutsu, the user has developed a way to push his fists to their maximum capability. By continuously having exposed his hands to extreme environments, (like training punches in hot coals and practicing hand movement in ice water) the users has made his hands incredibly strong. The user focuses chakra into his fists and uses it to amplify the effects of his training, with this the users hands will be close to indestructible, no amount of force or temperature will affect the user’s hands, only extreme amounts of continuously applied incredible damage will damage them. This technique doesn’t make the user stronger in general; it just allows him to deal with attacks more freely since he won’t have to think about his hands.
I tried ta uphold da law, but da law ain't always just. The will of D...means ta follow ya own justice!
With the blade of his foe still firmly grasped in his steel-like hand, Saul drew his sword and brought it down across the left hand of his opponent. Normally this would slice through some fingers like butter, but Saul, not sensing badness in his opponent decided to blunt the blade with his own chakra. Rather than severing the fingers, it instead bruised them, perhaps breaking one or two, and forcing him to drop his sword.
( Shuuren Kiwa ) - Training Edge
Type: Supplementary
Rank: E
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 5
Damage: N/A
Description: This is a technique generally taught to aspiring swordsman and could be considered the opposite of using wind chakra to lengthen and sharpen a blade. Usually, a Swordmaster or other instructor would use their own chakra to create a small “U” shape around the edges or point of a weapon. The chakra acts as an invisible scabbard on the blade, allowing the students to spar without killing each other or wounding each other past minor bruises and aches caused by the blunt force of the “scabbard” blade making contact. The user activates this technique by extending their hand along a ridge and just letting a small amount of chakra out. This technique is very simple and quick.
Note: Courtesy of KeotsuEclipse
Saul tossed the stolen weapon back behind him and coiled his left arm at his side. He then stepped forward with his left foot and drove his left palm straight forward, aiming at his opponent's chest.
(Hōshō) - Crumbling Palm
Rank: C
Type: Attack
Range: Short
Chakra cost: N/A
Damage points: 30 + 10
Description: The user strikes the opponent with a forwarding palm thrust.
With the affect of his iron fist still active, the palm felt like it was covered in steel. It would send Greyrat stumbling back as he tried to catch his breath.
I'm surprised to see you catching my sword with your bare-hand, but even more surprised to see that your hand hasn't been cut into pieces by doing so. However I don't have the time to dwell on that, because at this moment you'd be unsheathing your sword to attack me. I immediately react by releasing my [left hand's] grip on my sword, leaning my upper body back, and transitioning into a high kick. With my right foot still planted on the ground, I use my left leg to kick your right wrist just as you're swinging your sword down, disarming you and sending your weapon flying behind you. Leaf Rising Wind; the way I use it is similar to the way that Rock Lee used it against Kisame to disarm him of Samehada.
Simultaneous to my transitioning into the kick, while I lean my body back, I use my free-right hand to swiftly and stealthily reach into one of the pouches on my waist. Using my kick to temporarily draw your attention up and away from my body, I retrieve a single kunai and toss it in such a way that it stabs into your left forearm. This would happen the exact moment that my kick hits your wrist. The wound caused by the kunai is small and inconsequential, but should jolt you with enough pain to release your grip and drop my sword.
(Konoha Shōfū) – Leaf Rising Wind
Rank: C
Type: Attack
Range: Short
Chakra cost: N/A
Damage points: 30
Description: This technique uses the entire body as a spring, by amassing power through taking a posture where the back of the body falls down. With this powerful taijutsu, the user kicks just above the head. Because the power of the kick from the ground is instantly converted into a blow, the enemy hit with this attack will be launched high into the sky.
"Haha, you're just full of surprises, Jaguar! Your own personal justice? We may have more in common than I thought. My justice is also in my name, Ibaraki Douji. 'I'll never lose again, I'll be stronger than everyone else.' It means that I'll do anything to make that a reality. To carve out a piece of the world for my own, where me and my family can live in peace, that's my justice."
Immediately after kicking your wrist and tossing the kunai, I lower my left leg and tuck it back into my body, only to once again thrust it back out, this time driving my left heel right into your solar plexus. The impact of this attack would send you reeling back a few meters. In the meantime, I would safely retrieve and re-sheathe my sword.
Jaguar was once again pushed back, this time with the added insult of being disarmed and given a souvenir kunai for his trouble. He yanked the kunai from his forearm and tossed it away. Another shallow cut. He flexed his right hand to make sure nothing important got damaged, and thankfully everything seemed to be in working order. He was durable, but Ibaraki's strikes were starting to take a toll, as seen by his now labored breathing.
His typically cheerful self took a sullen turn as Ibaraki's words triggered his memory of the girl he once befriended. A girl, innocent and kind, who treated him like anyone else. A girl whose home and family were taken away by the so called justice of the world. He hoped that she had found her peace, wherever she may be. He pictured her for a moment, grown up and smiling, and bellowing out that laugh he taught her all those years ago. His smile returned.
Dereshishishi, dereshishishi! That's a justice I can relate ta. Ya got ya head on straight, Ibaraki Douji.
Saul cracked his neck and took a balanced stance. His sword was too far away to reach, but his opponent had sheathed his. Should he draw it again, Saul's iron hands could handle it. Ibaraki made his justice clear with his fists, and Saul wasn't content with keeping quiet much longer. His size and strength lent itself to a defensive fighting style, but that wasn't all he was capable of.
Jaguar dashed forward with his body bent slightly forward. He planted his left foot firmly on the ground before Ibaraki and turn his body to the left while lifting and whipping his right foot up towards the left side of Ibaraki's head. This kick wasn't aimed to strike flush with his target, but rather it was aimed to slightly graze the front of Ibaraki's face, more of a distraction than true attack. Were it to nick his face it may cause a momentary recoiling of the head, perhaps pushing his upper body back a bit and leaving his feet planted, but vulnerable. Saul's right foot continued around and landed on the ground as he dropped down to a crouched position, now with most of his back facing his opponent. He transferred his weight from his left foot to his right, and in a fluid motion that was continuous from the initial right footed kick, Saul continued his spin and extended his left leg along the ground, sweeping the legs out from underneath Ibaraki from left to right.
The sweep would knock Ibaraki's legs to the right and cause his body to become airborne, parallel to the ground with him facing Saul as if he were laying on a couch facing a television. Saul would finish his rotation facing his airborne opponent from a single kneed position. He followed by throwing his hands back and arching his back while kicking his legs up, pushing off his planted right foot. Not only did his legs go up, but his left leg went out, catching Ibaraki just above his left hip. The kick lifted Ibaraki higher into the air while Saul continued into a backwards handstand before carrying his legs completely overhead and back to the ground, allowing him to stand tall facing forward.
He turned his body to the left while sliding his left foot back to build a wide base, his right shoulder aimed forward. Saul punched his right fist into the palm of his left hand and coiled both back. As Ibaraki fell back to the earth, Saul stepped forward with is right foot and drove his right elbow forward, reinforced by his left hand and arm. He drove his elbow into Ibaraki's stomach, pushing him back through the air with a powerful blow.

Rank: B
Type: Attack
Range: short - mid
Chakra cost: N/A
Damage points: 40
Description: A taijutsu technique where the user smashes their elbow into their opponent using the other arm as support. It deals a powerful blow to the target and as the name suggests, is even strong enough to destroy rock formations.
Going to have to call time limit on this one. Was having fun though, so if you want to pick it back up as unofficial just let me know and make your next move.
