[Tai] The 4th Raikage

[Lord of Kaos]

Much better. ^^

Now on to the C-ranks. We've covered momentum and feints now on to gravity. Gravity keeps us all grounded, literally; it pulls us down to the earth, and no matter how high up we go, we will have to inevitably fall back down. There are numerous ways to use gravity to your advantage, attacking from above and other things. One way we're going to look at now is using gravity to add momentum. You can use your body as a spring of sorts, dropping backwards, causing the front part of your body to rise with great force. The heavier you are, the more effective this is for you. This is the basics behind the next jutsu.

I want you to fall backwards, swinging your leg upwards, striking him in the head with your kick, using the gained momentum from falling backwards to augment your attack.

*makes a clone that stands in front of you*

 

[Gèckö]

As the clone appears in front of me, i take a deep breath. Then i tense my legs up slightly, befoe i tily my head back and lean my body backwards. As i am falling backwards, i swing both my legs upwards and at your face. Before i catch myself with my hands and stad back up.

Sorry i am so late, been busy

 

[Lord of Kaos]

Very good. And it's no problem, I've been pretty lazy lately with replying, I apologize for this.

(Konoha Shōfū) – Leaf Rising Wind
Rank: C
Type: Attack
Range: Short
Chakra cost: N/A
Damage points: 20
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.

Now I want you to strike my clone with a downwards blow, hitting him to the earth. Tell me how this can be useful in battles.

Also, I forgot to post it after you learned it but here is the jutsu you learned before the one you just did.

Spoiler

(Konoha Senpū) - Leaf Hurricane
Rank: D
Type: Attack
Chakra Cost: N/A
Damage Points: 10
Description: A taijutsu where one launches a succession of high kicks and low kicks. Firstly, the opponent's evasion margin is restrained upon seeing the high kick, thus augmenting the chances for the low kick to hit the mark connecting to the rib cage area. So originally the high kick is little more than a feint.

 

[Gèckö]

As your new clone ppears in front of me. I crap my knuckles. Then i plant my right foot. I then riase my left hand high above your clone's head and swing downward in a hooking motion htting him on the left upperside of his head. Knocking him to the ground head first.

A downward blow can be useful because, it can open openings to kick your opponent. As it'd be easier because, he's closer to your feet.

 

[Lord of Kaos]

Ah, the beauty of simple jutsu. A lot of jutsus from NB Tai, start with the user in a lower position than the enemy. This simple C-ranked taijutsu blow knocks them down to the earth before they even have time to utilize such a jutsu. The simplicity of taijutsu is so wonderful sometimes. ^_^

Spoiler

(Asshō) - Pressure Palm
Rank: C
Type: Attack
Range: Short
Chakra cost: N/A
Damage points: 15
Description: The user strikes their opponent with a downwards thrust striking them to the floor.

And now, the inverse. Strike upwards at my clone, sending him into the air slightly. What use would this have in battle?

*makes a clone*

 

[Gèckö]

As your new clone appears in front of me. I crack my knuckles. Then i plant my right foot. I then place my left hand below my waist swing upward in a uppercut motion htting him on the left side of his chin. Knocking him high into the air.

SImilar response ._.

This technique could set my opponent up for other jutsus following like a chidori sharp spear or something.

 

[Lord of Kaos]

Yes, that's correct. It can also be used as the inverse of the previous attack; that one is useful against lower positioned opponents while this one is useful against higher placed opponents, meaning you might be able to strike foes that are falling downwards towards you and just like our previous lessons on gravity and momentum can tell you, your blow striking them will indeed hurt.

(Shōgekishō) - Upwards Attacking Palm
Rank: C
Type: Attack
Range: Short
Chakra cost: N/A
Damage points: 15
Description: The user strikes their opponent with an upwards thrust into the abdomen lifting them into the air.

Now, this is a fairly simple request. I want you to strike forward with a palm thrust, hitting my clone.

 

[Gèckö]

I move closer to your clone. I then open my previously clenched fists. I plant my left leg firmly into the ground and hold my left hand to my low waist. I then raise my right leg up slightly into the air. And stomp fiercly, as i am doing this. I thrust my open right palm into your clones's chest.

This technique, could knock my opponent off balance

 

[Lord of Kaos]

Good, though taking much time is never good in tai xD

(Hōshō) - Crumbling Palm
Rank: C
Type: Attack
Range: Short
Chakra cost: N/A
Damage points: 15
Description: The user strikes the opponent with a forwarding palm thrust.

Now, as you live in American, I'm sure you have at some point played football (not soccer, but american football). When you're running with the ball and someone comes in your path, you often 'shoulder block' them out of the way and continue onwards. In that same aspect, I want you to run at my clone and thrust your shoulder into him, causing him to fall over and outta your way.

*makes a clone*

 

[Gèckö]

As your clone appears, i dash towards it, at full speed with my left shoulder ahead of my. My arms cradled together. I keep a steady footing, so i don't trip up. Then i lunge my upper shoulder/arm at your clone knocking himm down.

Hard to counter, as i'd be moving at ful speed. And i am hitting him with the larger part of my arms.

 

[Lord of Kaos]

Good though you should be more accurate. Say which shoulder tou hit him with and aimed where. What happens when that shoulder clashes to him?

And that was performed as I was hoping for.

Spoiler

(Tokken) - Thrusting Shoulder
Rank: C
Type: Attack
Range: Short
Chakra cost: N/A
Damage points: 15
Description: The user will jump into the opponent thrusting their shoulder to strike them.

Now, I want you to strike my clone in the stomach with a strong knee, winding him in the process. Can you tell me how you can augment the power behind the strike.

 

[Gèckö]

Alright, i draw cloer to your clone. I then plant my right leg firmly in the ground, then twist my hip slightly for a better angle. Then i swiftly raise my left knee on an angle. Thrusting it into your stomache crippling it.

You could get the most power out of your knee thrust by tightening you calf, in a flexing motion i guess. The tighter your muscles, the more controlable they are. Also by getting a better angle as i did in my description, the more distance anything gets, the tronger/faster it moves.

 

[Lord of Kaos]

Ehh, I understood what you were going for but a better way would have been for you to run at the clone and jump up, extending your arms and grabbing his arms, pulling him into the attack, using the opposite momentum from him moving and you moving towards one another to increase damage. Like Newton's third law of motion tells us, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

And yes you got the second part right as well, as I just described above.

Spoiler

(Shōshitsu) - Rising Knee
Rank: C
Type: Attack
Range: Short

Damage points: 15
Description : The user will strike their opponent with an upwards thrust with their knee.

Now as we've been discussing gravity, we should talk a bit about inertia. A law of physics says that an object in motion stays in motion, meaning if something is moving, it continues moving until something causes it to stop moving. Inertia is a way of measuring how hard it is to change the momentum of an object, whether that's getting it to speed up or getting it to slow down. That depends on how much mass the object has. Big heavy things (things with a lot of mass) have more inertia than light things. You have to push a bus harder than a scooter to get it to move.

That being said, a freefall would cause you to call to the earth quickly but combined with your opponent's mass, you both fall to the earth fairly faster.

*makes a clone*

I want you to use earth rampart jutsu to raise the earth under the two of you, to get us higher in the air. Then, grab my clone by the legs and jump off, turning him upside down in the process and driving his head into the earth as you wrap your arms around his legs and your legs around his neck or waist, preventing him a chance to escape.

 

[Gèckö]

Off topic question, but do you think inertia could be applied into genjutsu somehow? I have been thinkng bout it for weeks.

---

After hearing my senei's command, i build up my doton chakra underneath your clone and I. I then perform the tiger handeal and cause a large pillar of earth to raise us high into the air. Once we reach a comfortable level, I stop channeling chakra into the earth. I then move closer to your clone. Ashe stands there motionless, i drop down to a lower level. And griip your clone up by his legs firmly. Uing all my strength, i jump off of the pillar. with your clone's legs still in m hands. I then release my grip on your clone and spin his body in a counter clockwie motion. Nearing the ground faster and faster. I hold onto to his ankles once again. I then wrap my legs around his body and focus my weight downward. We continue to fall. Until we smack the ground, driving his head into the hard crust.

(Doton: Doryū Jōheki) - Earth Release: Earth Flow Rampart
Rank: B
Type: Defence/Supplementary
Range: Short/Mid
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: N/A
Description: By performing the Tiger hand seal the user then makes a gigantic rampart rise up beneath the user's feet, by shaping the ground and increasing the amount of earth with chakra. Depending on what the user imagines, the shape of the rampart can be anything from level ground to a steep, needle-like mountain. If the user increases the volume of earth too much, he can be forced to keep his chakra consumption down. The user can combine this jutsu with Water Style: Waterfall Basin Technique to create a waterfall.

this is clone abuse>_>

 

[Lord of Kaos]

Yeah well the only time they've lost is in the training grounds so they're alright lol.
And about the genjutsu, i dunno. Genjutsu usage and knowledge isn't exactly my forte.

Good job. As you can see inertia plays a big part in you both falling, causing you to hit the earth with great strength.*

Now I want you to flip towards my clone and deliver a 7 strike combo, utilizing your legs and arms.*makes a clone*

 

[Gèckö]

As your clone appears before me. I take a slight pause and pbserve my surroundings, making ure there are no obstructions in my path. I then take a smoothe breath in. Then exhale violently. Relaxing my body slightly. I then step back slightly, then plant my left foot on the ground. I jump into the air slightly while contorting my body to twist like a wheel. My hands and my legs switch positions, i then repeat this moton a few more times before i notice i am nearing the clone. I then twist my body so that my back faces your clone then i push off of my hand. Sending me into the air.I spin multiple times then stop. Now over your clones head, i hold the hardest part of my elbow downward, then drive it into the skull of your clone with all of my weight. I land on the ground fter the elbow strike. You clone starting to fall downward slightly from the blow, i catch his head/lower neck area. Then bring it downward to my knee swiftly. As i rise my kneecap into his face. I release my grip on his neck. I plant my right foot downward, then thrust my left palm into hi chest twice. Knocking him off his balance. I then shift my weight to my left side, where i quickly plant my left foot down firmly. And raise my right fit into your clone's jaw. causing him to wobble backwards. I then drop downwards, and kick my leg up into your clones chin once again sending him into the air. As your clone fly into the air. I step back then propel my self at you clone with my left leg extended. driving my foot threw his chest, causing him to poof.

I have never written this much for trainingxD

 

[Lord of Kaos]

It's taijutsu. You're supposed to describe exactly you do so there is no confusion.

Spoiler

(Dainamikku Akushon) - Dynamic Action
Rank: C
Type:Attack
Range:Short
Chakra Cost:N/A
Damage Points:15
Description: The user flips towards the opponent and attacks with a series of punches and kicks equalling 7 attacks.

Now, solo taijutsu attacks can be pretty damaging to a foe but what better way to increase that damage than with more people attacking at once? Shadow clones are often the most used way to do this as most fights are one on one to begin with. By using them in battle, you increase your chances of winning in a taijutsu battle tremendously. Then again, if it's truly a taijutsu fight, then you will not be able to use clones but that's besides the point. The main point being, clones increase the amount of damage you can deal to a foe in a single turn.

I want you to create 3 clones and run at my clone before catapulting yourselves in the air by somersault, spinning and you all end up striking the clone in the shoulders/head with a kick.

Doesn't know shadow clones._.

 

[Lord of Kaos]

Well, this is awkward.
