[Tai] Second time with L

Six Paths · Nov 21, 2014

Apologies for the late reply!!!

After the next jutsu was explained, and the clone was present in the battlefield, everything seemed calm for a second. The wind was flowing through the training field, through the grass, leaves and the clothes and hair of everyone present in the field. It was a nice day, as the sun was shining bright, while Nikodo took a deep breath,and turned towards the figure so much resembling his sensei.

Being in a normal position, he slightly started moving his left leg back, pushing it behind while bending it. With the rest of the body bowing down, the right leg, was bend right before him, as his head goes lower, having a concentrated look in his eyes. In a blink of a second though, he pushed hard of the ground, using the muscles on his right leg, following it up directly with the left one, having dashed towards the clones, very slowly, he started lifting both of his hands, with the left one leading forward while the right one was behind, being condensed into a fist, which was moving in a safe distance from the left one, as it could hide it. Step after step, he came close to the clone in no time, as he appeared right below him. As both of the hands went up towards the center of his body, everything started moving faster and faster, till the left hand started moving on the left, showing the accelerated punch, aiming towards the abdomen from down up, as it connects. Having the point of connection set, everything started speeding up, upwards. The body of the clone started being separated from the ground, as the skin and muscle of the clone was being pushed like ripples in a pond sideways from the punch. As the clone was flying up, it naturally caused him to cough up, making a noise which was basically indicating the pain as it dispersed. Having finished the skill he started giving his thoughts about it.

Advantages to this skill would be that it is insanely quick to do, if you are very close to the enemy in short range, you can just punch him from down up, driving him towards the sky. Another advantage is that you can use it in conjunction with hiding like a mole, so when you pop up, you can follow it with a punch directly, just like Naruto was fighting against Neji at that time. Another one would be that you can disarm the enemy if it hard enough and it is kinda hard to avoid, since the center is targeted, so even if he moves sideways, he shall get hit in the sides.

Disadvantages would be that this skill cannot be properly used especially when you are far from the enemy, when you dash towards him, you shall most likely end up being hit by some kind of Ninjutsu or projectile attack. Another disadvantage worth mentioning, while it is easy to punch in the stomach, the hands and arms will be very difficult to avoid to get a full frontal attack.

I will use it when I am very close to someone or when I am just "popping out" of the ground.

Once the next skill was explained, the clone appeared out of nowhere, so Nikodo just went up to him, and looked at the eyes of the clone. This skill didn't need to be used from the distance as it was needed to be very close to the enemy, preferable right before him. As he was ready, directly, he pulled back his right hand, as his body started rotating inwards towards the right. The hand was formed into a palm, as just the tip of the fingers bend, with the thumb doing the same, showing some ping of paw of an animal. As he was in that position he paused for a second, in the meantime he took a small breath, as his heart was beating. Close to releasing the air, he held everything up, as his eyes widen, while the palm accelerated towards the clones chest plate. Whole pushing the air, the pal connected with the chest, sending up a huge amount of force into the chest, causing the whole clone to go back hardly, pushing him hardly behind, losing his balance and falling into the ground, as he was holding his chest. The damage, if executed properly, could be enough to break the chest plate, and squish the organs which are in the chest, including the lungs and heart. Being done he started talking.

Advantages would be that this skill is that this skill is very fast, and could hit the enemy if you are very close to him. Another one would be that this skill is aimed for the center so just going around it, is pretty hard, since you might avoid full damage to the intended point, but you shall get hit somewhere else. Another one is that this skill has potential to be strengthened by EIG if possible...

Disadvantages is that you need to be very close to the enemy and that might make you fall prey to weapon or ninjutsu attacks. Another one is that this skill cannot be able to actually kill the enemy if he got a chest plate like Madara or Hashirama had. So this would simply not work well. Another one would be that you are targeting the center of the body so the hands might be in the way or even block it.

I would use this skill in conjunction with another one which could hinder either his vision, or his movements, or enpower this attack like wind boost, or EIG power.

At this point Dean was not surprised at Nikodo's well performance. He already expected it, so he merely gave a slight smirk, and threw the scroll at Nikodo.

"Well done, you are getting better every time. Well, here you go."

"Okay, now the next techniques are as follows. The first technique revolves around running towards the opponent and then when you get into close range of the opponent, you will lean forward with your body, with a selected shoulder, in order to slam it into the opponent. Due the whole momentum and force that you exert with your whole body as you hit the opponent, it will cause quite the blunt damage and impact, thus sending the opponent backwards. Use it on your clone."

Dean creates a clone that runs towards Nikodo.

"After that, another basic technique where you start off by running towards the opponent, and when you get in close range, you will extend your knee (specify) upwards, to strike the opponent in the stomach or chest. A knee to the chest or stomach (as I have felt myself smh) hurts the opponent and makes it feel as if they can't breathe for a few seconds. So use it against my clone."

Dean creates a clone that runs towards Nikodo.

Six Paths · Nov 30, 2014

As both techniques were explained yet again, after a small pause for breathing, Nikodo inhaled and exhaled air, quick, getting himself ready, once everything was completed, as he turned towards the clone, he position his right leg behind him and lowered the stance of the body just as before, and looked at the clones gazing eyes. With a small tilt of his head, it gave the clone the sign to start action. In the same time, both of them started dashing towards one another, slamming their dominant foot in the ground, pushing themselves forward. One step after the other they were coming closer and closer towards one another. Both of their position low, with the steps being quick and large, as their hands were situated behind, not moving. Their face was hitting each second the air before them, but yet again, their vision didn't break, as it was focused on whatever was before the both of them. As they were insanely close, the clone just as before, just aimed for the punch, while Nikodo was pushing his face inward, as he was about to get punched, he in the last second ducked, as his head was right below the right forearm. Nikodo's right shoulder was focused in the center of it's body, as the momentum gained from before, he simply pushed himself hard in the last second, as his right shoulder mashed into the clones body, as he was fully pushed back. The hit was made after gained enough acceleration in the last part he was running. With the clone into the ground, Nikodo slowly got up as he was getting ready for the next jutsu, while giving his insights about the previous one.

Advantages to this skill would be some pretty obvious facts, it is a skill which is very quick and it could help you take down an enemy many times the size and strength of you as you are using the force of the momentum and acceleration. Another advantage to this skill would be that this skill is pretty effective for stopping someone who is running while making handseals, or stop anyone who is getting away. Another advantage would be insane hugs with the risk of breaking ribs.

Disadvantages would be that this skill is pretty vague in the beginning as the enemy could reply with ninjutsu before-hand. Another one is that this skill will require a certain distance to be ran, so if you don't have that space, you won't be able to use it. And another one would be that you are vulnerable to any attacks from above.

I do think this jutsu has insane potential the faster and the more gates you have open, since you would have enough power to literally destroy someone easily. Other than that I doubt I will actually use this.

For the next jutsu as the clone got finally up, they got again the distance they had before, and in that split second yet again, after a small tilt of his head, the clone just as before started dashing at gigantic speed. The same movements were followed by the red haired Ninja as his movements were in resonance with the clone but in the opposite direction. The wind was hitting his face, as his eyes, were locked at the clone moving towards him with the yet again, intent to punch. As they were close enough, using his left leg, he pushed himself up, with the right leg bent backwards, showing of the knee. With the jump, Nikodo went right in the center of the clones body, where the knee connected with the chest of the clone, hitting it insanely hard, as a crack was partially heard. The power of the kick, caused the clone to go upwards, as he was flying, his face was showing a lot of pain. Being in that position in the air, Nikodo rotated his body, using his left he made a rotating back kick towards the clones head, snapping the neck out of place causing it to disperse. As he landed he gave his insights.

Advantages to this skill would be the general idea, because as you run you rarely run with the goal to jump in the last second, so you can play it out a little deceitful. Another one would be that this skill could have enough strength to kill someone instantly if he person's speed was enhanced, or in cases when he has the Gates opened.

Disadvantages would be that this skill surely is easy to counter as you can fire ninjutsu while he is running through your way. Another one would be that this skill will leave you vulnerable in mid air to ninjutsu attacks, and being so close to the enemy won't help either.

No special thoughts about this one.

Detective L · Dec 2, 2014

Dean merely smiled, signaling that he was impressed with Nikodo's performance. Dean threw the scroll towards Nikodo, and quickly took out his bottle of Gin. It was time for a drink, and the sun was damn hot. Dean thought of making himself a small overhead structure, but thought it would make Nikodo lazy, rather make him jealous with alcohol.

"Well done, Nikodo. Here are the techniques you just learned."

"The next technique can only be used in mid air, you will launch the opponent upwards with any technique, and once they fly upwards and come falling down, you will launch yourself upwards. Once you reach the opponent, you will wrap your legs around the opponent's waist and grab them by their ankles with your hands (similar to Front Lotus), and drive the opponent, head first, into the ground. A deadly technique, if you can get the positioning right. I have never used it before, but I'd say that this technique is basically a win for the user because if you slam someone's head into the ground with such force, it would kill the opponent. Use it on my clone."

Dean creates a clone that runs towards Nikodo.

"The one after that, is easy. You will dash towards the opponent and perform a flip towards the opponent. Then when in close range of the opponent, you will perform 7 attacks, varying between kicks and punches. This is basically freedom, so you use any free form technique there and be creative. Use it on my clone."

Dean creates a clone that runs towards Nikodo.

Six Paths · Dec 14, 2014

As the jutsu were both explained, Nikodo started feeling anxious about the next technique. It started getting difficult, but this made him feel more excited as well. The clone was set up, and it normally started dashing just as always of course. With one handseal an earth pillar grew right under the clones footing dashing him into the air with a sudden acceleration. The same technique was used once again, to have the same effect on the Uzumaki, as he was catapulted towards the clone as well. Using the acceleration and the momentum, Nikodo kicked the clones legs through a side kick in the left of him, and as they were in mid air, the clone started rotating till his head was facing the ground. As he was in the right positing finally, The Uzumaki grabbed both of his ankles. As they were falling down, Nikodo's legs wrap around the body, while the feet, direct the head below dim. His hands run around the legs keeping them locked in place. As they were in position what was left was the effect of gravity, The acceleration of 9.8 m/s^2. The clone and Nikodo clash into the ground, The clone head first, as a huge noise is heard, the impact could have been enough to shatter the skull and break the spine so in the moment of impact the clone disappeared, leaving a small crater in the ground, where Nikodo was sitting, astonished...and a little hurt. Getting up he simply started explaining this technique.

Advantages to this skill would be very quick in performance if you are falling down along with the enemy. Another advantage is that there is no real way to counter this, when he has grabbed you, you will pretty much die. Another one is that the higher you are the stronger this technique will be as we will be constantly accelerating at a speed of 9.8 m/s^2.

Disadvantages would be that, in mid air it is pretty hard to maneuver and sometimes, the slightest change in direction, would cost you your life. Another disadvantage would be that if you are close to a cliff, and the enemy uses a skill which would change direction, he can cause you to crash into it. He can even direct it towards a lake or river and save himself.

I would use this skill whenever I am falling from a cliff, or when we are fighting in mid air. The chances of this attack being a lethal one is just very high.

For the second technique, as he was able to regain his position the clone was running, so the Uzumaki did pretty much the same. Pushing himself from the ground, he started closing the distance between him and the clone. They were getting closer and closer, and only 5 away from one another, Nikodo, pushed his legs and turned the upper part of the body down. Securing the hands in the ground, he pushed his legs towards the clone, as he then extended the hands which were secure, appearing up tight in front of the clone. Using the momentum of the push he dug his fist into the clones chest, pushing him back causing him to lose balance. Using the other hand now, he followed it up, with a left punch towards the rib cage area, as he continued, with 2 more kicks, aimed for the leg and stomach, as he then his the neck of the clone, with the right hand, and in the end following it up with an uppercut, driving the clone up, with the lack attack a full frontal kick, which caused the close to immediately disperse. Getting back into position, he simply started explaining this technique as well.

Advantages to this skill is the speed you can put into the attack, as you coming up from a flip you have a lot of acceleration and momentum giving you huge strength. Another one would be that this skill needs to make that flip, which can confuse the enemy and might have a deceitful factor as you can gain an upper hand from that. And the last advantage would be that since all the other attacks are free-formed you can pretty much do anything you want.

Disadvantages to this technique are that you need to perform that flip. The moment you near the ground, the enemy might just go ahead and use any earth technique to skew you. Another one is that when you flip, for a moment you will expose your blind spot which could cause your death.

I don't know if I will use this technique, but if I will then along with kirigakure, or after a jutsu which will leave the enemy huge open.

Detective L · Dec 19, 2014

Dean threw the scroll towards Nikodo, as he nodded his head, showing that he agreed to what Nikodo had said. He was already getting used to Nikodo performing the techniques without a problem, he was a natural at Taijutsu. With the throw of the scroll, Dean started talking, giving his feedback and the next two techniques.

"It is indeed a powerful technique, and can result in the death of the opponent. It is, however, difficult to get the opponent in that position. Here are the tow techniques you just learned."

"Now the next technique starts off with a kick thatt launches the opponent high into the sky. Though this technique does no damage, it has a greater purpose. The technique sets the opponent's body up for other powerful attacks like the Front Lotus, by hitting the opponent into the sky at the right position and so on. You don't know that technique, but perform this with another technique creatively."

Dean creates a clone that runs towards Nikodo.

"After that, perform a series of kicks that link as you rotate your body, and use the momentum from the rotation to perform a higher kick every time you rotate. This allows you to start off with a low kick, then rotate and perform a higher kick and so on. The momentum keeps you going. Try it out on my clone."

Dean creates a clone that runs towards Nikodo.

Six Paths · Dec 27, 2014

As the techniques were yet again explained by Dean, the Uzumaki simply intervened his fingers through one another and started stretching. He understood everything quite well as the explanation was perfect anyway. The moment that the clone was made, the concentration went back to maximum. He saw as the clone started running and simply lowered his stance waiting for the clone to come closer. The expression in his face was cheerful and excited as the knees bend down and the hands were lower then usual, in order not to disrupt his vision. As the clone was close enough, Nikodo dashed forward, a lot lower while looking at the clone which was right above him. With his left leg dug into the ground, he forced his right one through the hands of the clone (the space between the hands and the body), and went ahead directly for the chin, hitting him with the heel of the foot, while making close to a perfect split. As the clone was hit by the kick, the power of it, was enough to have his feet disconnect to the ground, as he was slowly being lifted by the power of the kick. Since this was the sole purpose of the technique, Nikodo could end it however he would have wanted to do it, so pushing his right leg up as well, he rotated the right one to the left, showing the clone the back of his. While still keeping the momentum, he rotated his head looking at the clone, as it was directly followed with a full rotation and a stretched right leg, hitting the clone right in the center of the body, being more like a thrusting kick rather than a side kick. The clone flew backwards at insane speeds, crushing once again into a tree. Nikodo really needs to call a wood user in order to save these woods. Landing on the ground, he decided to give his thoughts about the techniques.

Advantages to this skill would be the speed you can execute it, it is a relatively quick one especially if you need the enemy in mid air, you can use this technique and follow it up with any other technique. Like the Naruto Uzumaki combo, and have a person, kick him in the air, and then a clone thrust him back into the ground. Another advantage would be stopping the enemy from weaving through handseals so that you can finish him as quick as possible.

Disadvantages to this technique would be that you need to be very close to the enemy to use it. Another one is that you will simply use this technique is collaboration with another technique which will end it all, so this alone will almost certainly kill the enemy.

As this technique was performed and the next clone was made, taking once again his position, the Uzumaki, balanced his footing with the left foot before the right one. Lowering his body position a little, he extended his left hand and the right one just decimeters behind. As he was waiting for the clone to come come closer, Nikodo was simply looking at his movements. As the clone was close enough, Nikodo skit his right leg, through the dust, as he was relying on the strength of the rotation. The moment, the clone stepped with the right leg into the ground forward, my own right foot, connects with the lower part of the leg, more special the Tibialis Arterious muscle. The kick was hard enough to make the clone stop. Digging my right leg into the ground, I continue with my left hand, with a rear back kick a little higher up, hitting his knee hard. Continuing the rotation, I switch feet one again, now hitting the rectus femoris, still going higher up, he didn't need anymore to stabilize into the ground. He continued kicking. Now the left hit, landed directly on the abdominal as the clone was being pushed back each kick, one step. While he continued the spin a strong frontal kick landed on the chest of the clone, harming the pectoralis major. The lack kick was the fastest one and the one which kept most of the strength, as it hit the jaw of the clone, fully driving it out, disconnecting the joint, killing him. Landing back on the ground, ending everything with a sweet spin, the Uzumaki gave his insights.

Advantages to this skill would be the speed, so as you continue spinning, you give the enemy no time to get away, or act to it. Another one would be the continuous strikes one after the other which will give the enemy no real time to counter it. Another advantage would be that the continuous kicks will allow you to stop the enemy from weaving seals, maybe kick of a weapon from them, or attack any weak point, like very thing bone, or major muscle which will numb the rest of the body.

Disadvantages to this technique would be that as you are spinning you reveal your blind-spot really often, and this is just an invite for a literal stab in the back. Another one would be that as you extend your leg so often the enemy if he can trace it well, might grab it and then simply throw you away or slam you in the ground. Another one would be if the enemy is armored.

Detective L · Dec 28, 2014

Dean throws another scroll towards the Uzumaki. He had no problem so far with this kid, and that was good. They were proceeding pretty well, which meant that the Uzumaki would become a skilled Taijutsu fighter soon. It was a difficult field to finish off though, but Dean knew this kid had the determination to finish it.

"Well done. That was a great performance of the techniques. Here they are."

"Now, the next technique starts off by dashing towards the opponent with great speed, and when you reach the opponent in close range, you will perform a shoulder smash. This shoulder smash is aimed to push the opponent back, make him lose his stance, so you then follow up the shoulder smash with a strong punch, preferably launched at the opponent's face. A nice technique in my opinion, as you first bewilder the opponent with the shoulder smash, then finish it off with a punch. Use it on my clone."

Dean creates a clone that runs towards Nikodo.

"After that, the next technique requires four clones to be made. After their creation, they will dash towards the opponent and all perform an upward kick, that launches the opponent into the air. As the opponent is launched up into the air, you will jump up and hit the opponent on the shoulder. This blasts the opponent back onto the ground. A nice technique, but it requires four clones, which sucks. Nonetheless, use it on my clone."

Dean creates a clone that runs towards Nikodo.

Six Paths · Jan 6, 2015

As the clone was created from the cloud of smoke, Nikodo got into position. Keeping his stance low, as his eyes were focused at the clone, he was sliding his left leg back and bending the ring one, as he relaxed his left arm to the right knee. He simply nodded a little giving the clone a sign and he started running. Virtually second later, he continued kicking of his left leg and advancing forward, one step after the other as he was nearing the clone, he then slowly lowered himself slowly towards the center of his body. His head was slightly in the clones right. While Nikodo was continuing his walk, he pushed his feet from the ground, flying with his left shoulder in the center of the clones body. The clone was stopped in his run and was pushed back, as the head and feet go forward. Seconds after he slammed he simply fell on the ground. Getting up slowly the Uzumaki gave his insights about the technique.

Advantages to this technique are a few. It is a pretty quick one and you don't really need to get into position so even if you were running beforehand it will simply aid. Another one is that it is pretty unpredictable. You are simply running towards him, a tackle might come in mind, but if you consider the options of attack will just be larger and larger. Another one is that, if you successfully bring him down, he would be open to a number of attacks which would be finishing ones.

Disadvantages to this technique is that you are running headfirst into an enemy. Quite literally...You could be brought down by weapons, by ninjutsu, by kicks, punches ect. Another one is that if you aren't fast enough the enemy might just jump of the way and have you fully open if he can attack you from the side, up or from the back where you are fully open.

Usages to this skill would be perfect if you are catapulted by any kind of attack which can propel you forward. Another one is that if you finally get mastery over Tai or open any of the EIG, you could be super fast, and maybe strong enough to kill him with a tackle.

For the second technique it was something very special in this set. Pointing out 2 fingers from each hand he simply rised them before him making a cross sign, while 4 clouds of smoke appear in the battlefield. The smoke was white and thick, so the clone of Dean couldn't see anything. From the smoke which was simply moving slowly, 4 figures burst out very close to one another as they are directed towards the clone of Dean. The clones were running at high speeds, while the original body was simply watching from a small opening, waiting for the correct time. 1 of the clones is simply running dead ahead of the fake Dean, while the other 3 were moving on the sides, 2 in the right, one in the left. As they were close enough all clones, mash their left leg into the ground, while they propel the right one to hit the clone. The clone in the front, hits Dean in the chin, rising him into the air, while the other 3 hit him in the rig cage area. The moment the kick connects with the fake body, the original Nikodo jumped up in an arc, as both the clone and Nikodo were flying up, the clones face was pointed low, with the with use of the right Leg, Nikodo simply lifted it up and thrusted it down, Guillotine kicking the clones right shoulder as he forced him down with such a speed that it crashed onto the remaining clones. Cashing in the area, a large noise was heard, while more smoke was visible. A small gust of wind caused it to clear up, where there was nothing but rubble. Landing onto the ground, he gave his insights.

Advantages to this technique would be that is it different. This time you are using clones and through this way you will be able to gain yourself number advantage. Another advantage would be that this technique allows you to hide yourself in the smoke of the clones, giving you a chance to make a surprise attack. Another one would be that when the enemy is up, he can't dodge the last kick because of the pain from the previous kicks, or the fact that he can't maneuver too much in that case in mid air.

Disadvantages to this skill would be that bearers of gifted eyes still can see your presence. Another one would be that this skill can be dodge if you take care of the clones before hand with weapon attacks. A third reason this technique would be a weakness is if you don't know the clone jutsu to use it. And a third one would be that you need to use the clone jutsu too, so a double edged blade on this one.

I would sue this technique mostly when the vision of the enemy is limited. I would even use it whenever I am behind the enemy or when I see that he is only limited to taijutsu. I would even give it a try in cases when you open one of the gates to boost your speed.

Detective L · Jan 7, 2015

They proceeded once more, and so Dean simply threw another scroll towards his young student. This kid had some motivation to keep going this strong even though the training had been going on for a while now. Dean simply cleared his throat as he started talking, one of his favorite techniques were coming up.

"Well done, Nikodo. You basically said everything, so here are the techniques you just learned."

"The next technique is one of complexity, with a fast combination of attacks. The technique starts off by launching the opponent into the air with a kick, and then followed up by using the technique, Shadow of the Dancing Leaf. Then, as I was taught, two things can happen. He blocks it or he takes it. If he blocks then you quickly spin so that you are on top of him then finish with a heel drop across his body, slamming him against the ground. If he takes it, just continue with a flurry of hits and maneuver and then perform a drop kick. So when you use it, you can decide which of the two the clone decides on and finish the technique."

Dean creates a clone that dashes towards Nikodo.

"After that, my favorite technique. Start off by assuming a fluid stance after consuming a bottle of sake, or without. This fluid stance is unpredictable, as your movements are sloppy and weird. So once you initiate this technique, just go wild and use anything whilst your body moves in odd ways in a flurry of up to twelve hits. This technique is basically free form, and allows for some amazing Taijutsu, so beat up my clone."

Dean creates a clone that dashes towards Nikodo.

Six Paths · Jan 21, 2015

Having the clone once again made, Nikodo gets into position as it is slowly nearing. His steps into the training field make the rock rise, as his speed was allowing him to near to the uzumaki very fast. With his eyes narrowed down, a steady breathing and calm heartbeat, he simply intercepts the future movements before hand. As the clone was close enough to perform whatever he had in mind, ducking under that attack, Nikodo lifts his right leg, heel first, hitting the clone under the chin, with enough power to push him up. As that kick was made, he simply places both legs into the ground once again, as he lowers himself while looking up, using that spring mechanism, he pushed himself up, with the right leg stronger to allow him to get into a spinning motion. Now similar to before he continued kicking him up, as each kick was hitting him higher and higher while both bodies were rising. As the push upwards ran out of energy, Nikodo fixed his leg into the torso of the clone which was facing up, pushing himself higher, while he simply rotated once in a matter of a backflip as he finished everything off with a heel kick right into the chest plate of the clone, hearing a huge fracture as the clone crushed into the ground, lifting debris up in the battlefield. The current location of the clone was now a huge crater with no clone visible there, this kick sure was deadly.

So this technique is a pretty cool one, advantages would be the quick performance, it is very suited for a counterattack if the enemy is running towards you at a very high speed. Another one is that as the kicks continue the enemy will be not able to really counter or predict anything as his mind is not in peace from the pain of all the hits and maybe will miss the final drop kick as well. Another advantage would be that this technique will even allow you to counter it is he dodges most kicks or the first kick which would cause him to fly up.

Disadvantages of this technique are a few as well though. We can clearly see that you use a mid air case, so if you don't maneuver well, you could become the person suffering a bad ending and another one is that if the enemy uses wind to maneuver around, or dodge the kicks, you could be left in a vulnerable state. And yet another one is that if the person is going to use weapons he can pierce one limb, leaving it uneffective.

Best usages would be if someone is running at you, or if you are planning on leaving the enemy defenseless while you are executing it. Another good usage would be if you fly him upwards using any other means and then kick him in mid air, so you won't get yourself into much danger.

For the second technique, it seems like this is gonna be fun, so using the earth element, Nikodo created a table and 2 chains as he took a bottle of sake out, and poured some for his teacher and himself. As this continued for a long time, Nikodo got to learn a lot from Dean, like the fact that he likes Jiraiya's books. Still as the time was right, everything in the sight of the uzumaki was blurry. he couldn't make out friend or foe, until he saw a figure running at him. putting his hands up and legs widen, his cheeks were red, as his eyes were almost closed. Saying in an ununderstandable manner he simply shouted something as the clone was close enough, dodging the first move of his while simply sidestepping in a sloppy way, he returned the favour as he digged his right leg into the ground, and his left leg all around, hitting the clone with a rear horse kick, not finishing things up, with the right leg still int he ground, he pushed forward as he continued giving the clone punched, towards his face, abdomen, ribs, and legs. the punches and kicks couldn't be predicted as they were in a very random pattern, while they sure packed a punch. Continuing this, he finished things up, he he kicked for the clones left foot, smashing it into the ground, not allowing the clone to get away, then grabbing one of his hands with his left arm, he simply pushed it up, locking it into place, and kicked his left side with enough strength to send him flying back. With a broken foot and ribs the clone disappeared. As Nikodo simply fell asleep for a while. Waking up, he simply looks at Dean and says...

I can't remember anything, what did I do again?

So advantages would be the fact that your movements cannot be predicted, they don't follow a normal pattern, they are random all the time, so you can't make true outcomes, just assumptions. Another one is that this stance will allow you to have less mercy as you aren't really aware and maybe allow you to dodge the moves better at the last second. Another advantage would be that as you run, you run in a more unpredictable way, without having the enemy predict where you are

Disadvantages to this technique, or more like a fighting way is that you will not be able to make the difference between friend or foe, the new green beast, didn't really know what he was doing back then and almost shattered an entire restaurant. Another one is that this skill will make your vision more blurry not allowing you to detect things which are smaller like needles. Then it might mess up your senses, but seeing how I am unphased while this place is ruined and has no clone, I am not sure of that.

Usages would be best when you are fighting against someone who is used on predicting movements.

Nikodo performed the techniques in quick succession of each other. They were done quite well, and as such, Dean had no qualms about it. With a quick swift flick, Dean threw the scroll towards Nikodo. The scrolls were a bit fat, due to the amount of information in them. Nonetheless, they continued.

"Well done, here you go, Nikodo."

"Now the next technique is another easy one. You will dash towards the opponent, and once you reach close range, you will perform a spinning jump. As you do so, you will extend your dominant hand towards the opponent, and deliver a powerful punch with said momentum of the spin. This would allow you to hit the opponent in the face and send him crashing to the ground. Use it on my clone."

Dean creates a clone that runs towards Nikodo.

"After doing so, you will once more dash towards your opponent. Once you get to him, you will deliver a spinning kick with either of your feet, and send the opponent airborne with it. As the opponent flies through the air, you will use your momentum of the first spin to spin your body around once more and deliver another kick. Multiple kicks can be done so, which would allow you to keep the opponent in the air, till he finally crashes to the ground. use it on my clone."

Dean creates a clone that runs towards Nikodo.

Apologies for the late reply, I can assure you...will never happen again.

With my feet in position, I tilt my stance slightly facing my enemy with my left side, as the legs are on line with the shoulders. With my fists lifted up right before my face I narrow my eyes, looking into the face of the still standing clone. Making one slight nod, it was the sign for the clone to run. Using my ankle I kick of the ground below, giving myself a huge speed forward. With me and the clone moving to one another, as we are finally in close range, I do this step quite a fair one with my right leg. The step was executed in a way when I would step far to the left, giving my body for a short while a moment of imbalance. But using that moment, I kick of with my left leg, and using the rotating movement I begin spinning, while going up into the air. The rotation gained, was counter clockwise from the right to the left, while my right arm was now close to the body, I extend my left hand on the side, from my turning back the clone was surprised by an extended arm, with the hand wrapped into the fist. The sudden reveal was too quick for the clone to prepare, so he got hit on the left side of his jaw. Pushing the clone back sideways, the punch had enough force to drive him back. Losing balance, the clone slammed onto the ground. Being still on mid air, I lower my head and vision to see the clone. I use this chance to stop my spin while extending my right leg. Still with my vision connected to the clone, I simply let gravity pull me down, stepping on the clones chest, giving it a strong enough kick to drive down his entire body, fully killing him.

Alright, so a fairly easy taijutsu technique where you rely on the motion powers and momentum to put the enemy down. Advantages would be that you will not use a whole lot of stamina, it is mostly the rotation which has the power. Another one is the unpredictability. Since you will be facing the back to the enemy for quite long, he will not see the hand pop up and punch his jaw causing him to drop. Another one is that, the faster the stronger. So if you pick up speed, it would be useful.

Disadvantages would be that you will be facing the back to the enemy for fairly long. In this time he might either get away, push you out of the way, or just stab you. Another one would be that the fast movements will give you a blurry vision and hinder your ability to foresee an attack and prepare for it. Another one would be if the enemy has sharingan...he can read your movements.

Usages would be many I guess, like when you are behind the enemy, when he is running towards you...or when you are running towards him. Another good usage is if you are being slung to him in mid air or the opposite. And another one is trying to get yourself in position for a better finishing attack, like just now.

For the second technique, the moment that i see the clone made, I lose no time, but dash myself right from the ground. This is supposed to be a technique not to let your enemy even try and react to it. Closing the distance very quick, I get close enough to him, for my kicks not only to reach, but even do considerate damage. Being in that distance, with my left leg still connected to the ground, and my left one about to step forward, I kick of the ground, giving myself height, just before the clone. Using my upper leg muscles, I make a round kick towards the clones left side, hitting him in the left ribs area. Since the hit was a little diagonal from down up, this kick forces the clone to go upwards alone with me. The rotation of the round kick, allowed my body to spin, giving myself the opportunity, to throw one more kick with my left leg, more similar to the rear horse kick. Still it wasn't fully frontal but rather the same as before, hitting his side, this time a little higher, but since the arm interfered I only hit the biceps and triceps. In a high enough position, as I rotate facing the clone, I lift my right leg up right before me, as I stop my rotation and using the force of gravity dragging me down, kick the clone, right on the right shoulder, breaking it. The power of the kick slammed the clone into the ground fully killing it as a result. Landing myself only seconds later, I give my thoughts.

Advantages to this technique i would consider the fact you won't allow the enemy to correctly react to whatever you want to do. You could say that it would be perfect to stop the enemy from making seals, or charging chakra. Another advantage in this case would be using any kind of technique blocking the enemies vision, like a genjutsu or even trying to attack him from behind. And another one is that while airborne, the enemy cannot move or reply accordingly.

Disadvantages are that this technique relies on the feet too much, and you can't really continue if one of your attacks is moves away. Having a larger portion of mass, if the feet is moved away you will lose balance not only in the ground but even mid air. Another one is that any kind of weapon which could cut the leg would give you a very bad chance. Hindering your ability to move around in that situation.

Usages are fairly simple. Whenever your enemy is making seals, has a limited vision, or if he is not facing you.

Detective L · Feb 27, 2015

The techniques are performed with ease which leaves Dean pleased and content. His student was becoming better every moving moment. With a simple nod, Dean once more agreed that nikod had done the technique correctly, and with that being done, Dean launched another batch of scrolls.

"Very good, Nikodo. You're getting better each time. Here you go."

"Alright, here we go. The next technique is similar to the one I just taught you, you will dash towards the opponent with great speed. Once reaching the opponent, you will perform a kick that launches the enemy into the air, and once they are in the air, you will kick them once more. As a finisher, you will jump onto the opponent's shoulders and spin them into the ground. Another one of those step by step techniques, I don't really like those. Use it on my clone."

Dean creates a clone that dashes towards Nikodo.

"After that, you will perform a flurry of punches and slashes (if you have those chakra enhancing blades), and then finish off the opponent with a rising uppercut which is aimed beneath their chin. A simple technique but it can be effective. Use it on my clone."

Dean creates a clone that dashes towards Nikodo.

Six Paths · Feb 28, 2015

As the previous stance is taken, I see how the clone begins his advance towards me at a very high speed. Stepping of the ground with my left leg, I continue on the same pace with the clone staring my dash. The distance between us vanished slowly, until I was able to see him in the eyes fully, at that moment, I bend my knees, lowering my stance drastically. Using my right foot for stability, I keep it focused in the right in the ground, as I pull my left leg close to the body, and lift it up. Seeing how the clone was focused on attack anything right before him, this area down here was fully unprotected, especially in the chest and stomach area. With a foot for stability, the left leg extended with the foot hitting the chest lifting the shinobi up into the air slightly. Pulling the foot back back, I use the right bent leg in a spring mechanism, pushing myself up. Using my right hand now, I lift it towards the head of the clone. As the arm traveled up, it came into contact with the chin, pushing the clone up, along with myself. Flying with the clone up, I Grab his right shoulder with my right hand, and his left one with my left hand. I hold him tightly, while looking up. Turning our original position upside down due to the weight concentration. While I give my body a slight tilt, we start rotating until we are close enough to the ground, when I release him, and try turning around. With the clone falling head first, I used the small timeframe and his own tug from the body to land up right. As the clone crashed and generated a lot of smoke, with it clearing away, nothing was visible anymore except ruble.

Alright, advantages to this technique would be the speed when the moves are being executed. Being fairly smooth in performance and have one clear objective, and it is sending your enemy up, and then back down to finish him. Another one is that you will have to be in movement, so if you are nearing the enemy beforehand, you can use this chance fairly effectively. Another one is that if you follow the movements with clones, you can send him in a suicide attempt fairly easily too. And the last one would be if you use it along with the hidden mist jutsu, and the surprise factor.

Disadvantages would be as you said, too many techniques in one. For more effective results, it is better to have the finishing move quick, this technique just takes too much time for something that you are not sure will work. Another one is all the sharingan users which can read the movements easily.

Once the second clone is made and starts it dash, I simply raise my arms normally waiting for his advance. As it continues walking towards me, I simply lock down on the movements on his legs. When he was close enough, and about to make one more right step, I dash inwards with a quick push, landing too close to him, stopping his advance with my own body, and his arms totally ineffective in being able to harm me. As his whole body was vulnerable, I pull forward my right arm in a quick succession resulting in a light punch, to his left side of his chest, pulling my right hand back, covering my face, I continue with the left one, in the center of the body. Continuing this advance of punches, I continue aiming for the center of his body, his chest, abdomen and some times even his trakea. The moment the clone was pushed back severely, I punch him one more time in the face with my left fist, right in the right cheek, more towards the jaw. As I push back this hand, from below my right fist is visible, hitting the clone from below, right under the chin, in the connection of both sides of the jaw. The power of the punch, drived him up, as he then slammed into the ground, dispersing.

Advantages to this would be that it is fairly quick and in a very fast succession. Meaning that the enemy will be staggered and it would be hard to dodge. Another one is that you can even use the chakra enhanced blades which can not only deal raw damage, but even cut the enemy creating larger wounds which will undoubtedly help.

Disadvantages would only be uchiha bios which can read movements and dodge the punched before hand. Another one is if the enemy has an armour so that the first punches would be ineffective.

I would use this in cases when the enemy is running towards me, and if I needed to end a match quick, but not necessarily kill the enemy.

Detective L · Mar 5, 2015

Dean drinks a bit of his sake as he listens to Nikodo analyze the techniques. This kid surely did understand Taijutsu so far, and they were actually almost done. After his small drink, Dean threw another pair of scrolls towards him, and continued.

"Very good, here you go, Nikodo san."

"Next on the list is one of my favorites. Called the defensive crane, the technique uses complex and advanced movements, in order to divert the path of an incoming limb. This is achieved by using the back of your hand in a circular and wide movement, expanding outwards. This allows the user to divert the incoming path of a punch or so, and creating an opening which is easily exploited. Use it on my clone."

Dean creates a clone that runs towards Nikodo.

"After that, simply perform a powerful rising uppercut. Very simple and not much to really explain as I know you understand the meaning of an uppercut. Use it on my clone."

Dean creates a clone that runs towards Nikodo.

Six Paths · Mar 18, 2015

Waiting for the clone to get closer, I take the stance. Sliding my left leg forward, as the outer side of it is pointing the enemy, my right leg gets pulled back as i bend it slightly. My hands go in resonance with them. The left hand gets pointed towards the clone, while the right one, with an open palm and slightly bent fingers stays close to the chest. As the clone was not aiming for the punch, I let it continue forward until it comes close to the left hand. moving the left hand towards the left side, opening me up entirely, the punch continues forward. As it is aimed towards the face, it gets closer and closer, until from below...the right hand, hits the clones wrist from below. As it was moving upwards, the punch misses entirely as it was directed far away from me. With the right hand still close, the open palm, becomes a clenched punch which is directed towards the clones open face. The moment it connects, the force was amplified by the speed of the moving clone as it gets pushed back.With him slamming into the ground, the move was finished.

Advantages to this skill would be the fact of being able to intercept the strike. With this you cannot only predict punches, but even kicks and kunai's and if careful...direct them away. another one would be the speed and a god like defense if you can keep up with the speed of the punch.

Disadvantages would be that you will not always be able to keep up with the speed you are punched with, so you would most likely get hit full head on. Another one would be that this tech can only be redirected on the sides, so you run the risk of the punch not being deflected fully, but hit your body.

As the clone was running towards me very fast, I take my position setting my left leg before the right one, as I lift my fists up, forming a basic boxing position. The shoulders were on the same line as the leg position, so the whole body was facing the clone with the left side. As the clone was close enough, I push myself forward, as my left hand, moves forward, while traveling left. Moving right before his eyes, it slowly skits on the left, blocking the vision for a dew second. As the hand was off his sight, his chin felt the hit of the punch. As the chin started being lifted up, the entire body disconnected from the ground, while I had made only one step forward. Flying up, the clone simply travels high and then gets brought back by gravity, hitting the ground.

A nice simple technique. Advantages would be how quick and versatile it is. You can use it in almost every single way you want to use it. Another one would be that if you take his attention like i did right now, the punch will take most likely by surprise. another one is that disconnecting him from the ground, gives you a chance to get him into a vulnerable position.

Disadvantages is that it can be predicted easily, and dodged just by stepping back one time. Another one is that you can block it if you don't let the user's punch get under him. One more way to use it would be countered is if you counter attack before and keep the distance so he doesn't position his punch under your vision.

Detective L · Mar 20, 2015

The two clones poofed away fast after each other. Nikodo was on a roll. The poor clones stood no chance against him. With a slight smirk, Dean grabbed two more scrolls from his bag. This kid was getting it right, he might be better than Dean at Taijutsu at this very moment.

"Nikodo, you never fail to surprise. Here you go."

"Now the first technique is quite simple in nature, and as such, doesn't require much effort to perform. The technique starts off by dashing towards your opponent, and when you get in close proximity, you will punch the opponent with both fists aimed at their chest. This would send them tumbling back, or knock him down. Use it on my clone."

Dean creates a clone that runs towards Nikodo.

"After that, a simple technique where you will perform a powerful kick aimed at the opponent's knee. This technique is the source of the term widely used in the Ninja World, "I use to be a ninja like you, then I took a kick to the knee". If the kick is powerful enough, it can break the opponent's leg. Use it on my clone."

Dean creates a clone that runs towards Nikodo.

Six Paths · Mar 26, 2015

Getting once again into battle position, the clone began it's movements towards me. Following him in the same pace, I take stance with my left foot behind as the right one was stepping forward. Pushing myself from the ground, I advance forward at a very high rate. The distance between be a the clone vanished as I found myself right now fully before him. Stopping my movement, with a powerful step before me, I advance a little forward as I move my foot and rotate it so that the outside part of it, would point towards the clone. As the movement stopped, I pull my hands back. Condensed into a fist, as my eyes appear white for a second. The youth was burning as both hands move forward at an insanely high speed forward. Both aimed for the chest, they go through the enemies movements. As both of them go through the defense and connect to the chest, the clone feels the push, being now pushed back and slammed into the ground.

You must be registered for see images

Advantages to this attack could be the simplicity. This attack is very quickly executed and you can use the power and momentum of the running movements to put more strength into it. Another advantage are the different occasions you can use it on, like you can reply on a free fall to use this attack.

Disadvantages would be that you need to get fairly close, like every other taijutsu technique. Another one is that if you use both arms, you can leave yourself open for a quick counter-attack so it would be a fairly dangerous bet to make. The last one would be the fact you can't do much damage on someone who is wearing an armor or a chest plate.

As Sensei was explaining the 2nd technique I begin to have a bad feeling. And it was rightful....this time he began the joke which spawned so many repetitions which caused many shinobi to the brink of madness. As he continued,I un towards him with the attempts to stop him, but it was too late....he already made that joke. Having lost the trust in my teacher, I give up on the rest of the training and take a kunai out while I look towards him. This was it for you my teacher...I must excuse, but it really has to be this way....

Running as the clone always way, I wainting for him simply in a very normal stance. As it gets closer, I slightly change my position. pointing my left side towards the clone. As it was close enough, I skit my left leg back while I slowly move towards my left, while my foot plants into the ground. Moving my hands back, my right foot lifts up as it moves into a round trajectory aimed for the right knee of the clone which missed the punch fairly closely. As the kick connects, the knee, a noise was heard. The knee joint bends the other way around while the clone falls from the momentum of the attack. Slowly after is dissipates.

Advantages would be fully limited the enemies movements in any form possible. another one would be the simplicity and wide area of usage for this technique. Being very fast and tough it can be used in almost any occasion. Another one the fact that you can use it in collaboration with other techniques to fully limit his actions.

Disadvantages would be that this technique actually needs to be very close to the enemy, and the kick might be very well guarded while lifting your knee. Another one would be that it is highly ineffective against armors and sometimes could even break your own foot.

Detective L · Mar 30, 2015

Nikodo didn't seem to like the joke that had caught the NW by storm. Though it must have been irritating now, because the saying had been used by everyone throughout the land. Dean merely smirks as he takes out the other two scrolls from his bag. It seems they were now at the last two techniques of C ranks.

"Well done, Nikodo. Here you go."

"Alright, now the last two C rank techniques. This first technique starts off by dashing towards the opponent, and once close enough, you will grab the opponent by his collar or shirt. As you do so, you will fall backwards with your whole body, with enough momentum. You will then extend your leg or both legs, and extend them towards the opponent's chest at the right moment to propel the opponent upside down across the battlefield. Use it on my clone."

Dean creates a clone that runs towards Nikodo.

"After that, perform a simple leg sweep which causes the enemy to fall. As the enemy falls, you will perform an upward jump and draw your legs in towards yourself, and release it explosively towards the chest of the opponent. This blasts the opponent's chest with great force. A nice technique. Use it on my clone."

Dean creates a clone that runs towards Nikodo.
