So the pros of Cottage Garden is primarily a sensory type technique, more specifically tactile sensory similar to Gaara's sand. It spans the entire terrain so its scope is non-exhaustive and it deals with targets both above and below ground. Oh, and they can be used as source for other DoBS moves so that's a plus also. Cons are that they can be seen and avoided (to an extent) if the user is capable such as through flying or even destroying them.Super. We should move onto the next technique.
Tsubaki no Hayashita Sennin: Fuzaketa Petenshi | Dance of the Bearded Sage: Playful Trickster
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra: 15
Damage: N/A
Description: A less wild, yet more tactical version of hair strengthening; The user will emit quantities of hair from his body which coiling it around a specified body parts or, if he wishes, his entire body turning him into a ball of hair. Changing the properties of the hair, the user will be able to at incoming blockades in close combat, to have the hair allow him to slide past, as it was a piece of soap slipping through one’s hands, the blockade and proceed it’s original path unhindered. This would essentially, within reason, allow the user to slide past certain attacks without getting in physical contact, or hindered in his path, as well as avoiding certain attacks. The changing of properties of the hair, can however also take place, by reversing the proccess, thus making it 'lethal' following the restrictions and limitations of the style - Such as making them sharp.
Btw, Vines have been updating;
Tsubaki no Hayashita Sennin: Bainzu | Dance of the Bearded Sage: Vines
Tsubaki no Hayashita Sennin: Bainzu | Dance of the Bearded Sage: Vines
Rank: C-S
Type: Offensive, Supplementary, Defensive
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 15-40
Damage: 30-80
Description: This technique can be seen as the basic manpulation technique in this ''branch''. By manipulation one's hair the user is capable of growing it as it pleases. Make it as sharp, hard, soft, long, short. This technique can be used in many possible ways, such as causing one's hair to go underground and erupt from the ground beneath the opponent. Vines may also be used to create pre-existing hair sources.
Note: S-ranke version can only be used 3 times, with a 2 turn cooldown period in between usages while the ranks below are unlimited.
Let's move on.
Read and analyze;
Tsubaki no Hayashita Sennin: Kotējigāden | Dance of the Bearded Sage: Cottage Garden
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short-Long
Chakra Cost: 30
Damage Points: N/A
Description: The user will unleash an heavy amount of hair from desired part of his body, and into the ground, having it spread throughout the entire terrain, manifesting itself within the ground. Small patches of hair throughout the terrain can be spotted, emitted from the ground, going in an arc and back into the ground. The hair is closely linked to the user's senses, thus allowing him to detect any movement underground and above(Obviously, aslong as it touches the hair.). The heavy amount of hair can however also be used as a source for future Tsubaki no Hayashita Sennin techniques, keeping the traits of Cottage Garden.
Pros, cons, and perform.
Hmm, so it states to defend against most outside attacks but on what terms? Is it equal to elemental Ninjutsu? As a matter of fact, are any of the DotBS techs equal to the elements? Despite this its a somewhat tricky defense seeing it leaves the head and feet exposed but I suppose an opportunity will present itself--eventually.Gewd. Let's move on.
Tsubaki no Hayashita Sennin: Gādo Pointo | Dance of the Bearded Sage: Hair Strengthening
Rank: S
Type: Supplementary, Defensive
Range: Short
Chakra: 30
Damage: N/A
Description: The user grows hair out and covers his entire body leaving only his head and two legs visible. In this ''form'' the user may ressemble an overgrown Chia Pet. With this hair, the user is able to withstand against most outside attacks with this impenetrable shield. However only counts towards blunt attacks, most of the time.
~Can be used 3x
~The user must wait one turn inbetween each usage of this technique.
This makes you into a bouncy ball. Pros and Cons. How would you use it in combat?
Understood. But using this to defend against Rising Rock Pillars, wouldn't your feet get hurt?Yeah, it's basically neutral to all.
Anyway, I always use this against blunt attacks such as Rising Rock Pillars. Just an example. People that punch at you, are thrown back - It will feel as hitting a trampoline, basically. You get it?
So this is basically like that canon Kenjutsu technique, Lightning Rod, only with hair. It serves to intercept lightning technqiues and divert its power, using the hair around your body, then redirect said technique in a weaker form in many ways such as an all-directions shockwave or projectile type like a bolt.Not if you adjust it, to hit your stomach. I mean, if somebody throws a Rasengan at you, nobody aside from you decide if you wanna headbutt it, body slam it, or palm slap it. Theortically speaking.
Onto one of the goldies about DotBs this is absolutely barbaric.
Tsubaki no Hayashita Sennin: Atarashī kanten Tanzō | Dance of the Bearded Sage: Forging a new Light
Type: Defensive/Supplementary/Offensive
Rank: S-rank
Range: Short
Chakra: 40
Damage: 80
Description: This is primarily a defensive technique where the user will engulf himself in hair, however not disabling him of his mobility or vision. By sending chakra into the hair, the user will make it a functional lighting rod - capable of absorbing and transmitting lightning throughout the hair covering the users body. Upon in contact with a lightning technique, the users chakra in his hair will guide the lightning sending it through a path of his hair and then releasing a weakened version of the opponents technique in the desired direction in the form his wishes, it could be a lightning bolt, or a current of electricity travelling through the ground, or a 360 degree shockwave.
~ Can guide up to and S-rank included
~ It will be weakened by one rank
~ Can be used twice
Go!
So this is basically Susano'o but made of hair, lol. There's a lot of stuff going on here with this so I'll take my time. Firstly, being three times the size of the user and carrying F ranked defensive capabilities this is already an ultimate defense, which doesn't require hand seals, mind you. It carries A ranked damage in just its free form attacks and is capable of even regenerating should it be attacked. Though, regeneration cost a move and negligible amount of chakra. Lastly, if I use the hairs made from this technique specifically, subsequent DoTBS techniques gain a +20 damage, which is basically a rank boost. Very nice.And... Kirin. It also works for Kirin. I have over the years hoped for people to Kirin me. LOL.
Good. Nice and clean, let's go for the golden one.
Tsubaki no Hayashita Sennin: Ken'i no Kyōretsuna Tamashī | Dance of the Bearded Sage: Authority of the Vigorous Soul
Type: Supplementary, Offensive, Defensive
Rank: Forbidden
Range: Short – Long
Chakra: 50 (-15 per turn)
Damage: N/A (-20 to the user)
Description: Perhaps one of the most powerful techniques of the Dance of the Bearded Sage where the user will, through the conversion and release of an immense amount of chakra, empowers and manipulates hair to emerge from each pore on their body to create a construct fueled by the user’s chakra flow to essentially create a humanoid which encases the user’s body. The hair produced by the user’s body is incredibly versatile in the sense that it is capable of possessing different characteristics upon creation which can be changed in battle. It can be produced as firm and unbending hair, soft and pliable hair, or elastic hair capable of producing A-Rank physical damage. The humanoid will essentially accentuate the user’s movements. For example should the user run forward the construct will respond the same producing the identical movement and speed. The construct’s appearance can vary aesthetically but essentially in its creation it will take the form of a large humanoid roughly up to three times the size of the user. The hair produced by the by the user’s body is infused with an immense amount of chakra; as such it offers the user incredible defensive capabilities for its duration. The humanoid construct is capable of defending against A-Rank elemental ninjutsu and S-Rank taijutsu. Should the humanoid be cut the user is capable of expending an additional 5 chakra to replace the lost body parts. Due to the excessive chakra infused into the hair other Dance of the Bearded Sage techniques which use the hair of the Vigorous Soul will gain an increase of 20 damage to their strength.
Once activated, lasts four turns. Restoring the hair requires the user to expend one of their moves and 5 chakra. Upon deactivation the user will suffer exhaustion and be unable to use taijtusu up to A-Rank and will have lost two ranks in speed for two turns. The great amount of hair expelled from the user will cause them to experience a full body pain from their pores.
*gasp* I missed something? Unheard of. Will edit with my reply when I get back from this run z.zRead it again.
