Move towards my clone and assault him starting with a rotating low kick. Continue with the rotation while the kicking continues and rise up extending the kick the his upper body part. Finish with a heel drop

Kinda having a hard time visualizing this jutsu even after seeing it in the manga. Point out any mistakes. Also while we're still early in the training I would like you to be strict on me during this training. I want to take the EIG test someday.

I run toward your clone and once I get within cqc range your I start to crouch, extend my right leg at a down diagonal angle on the ground, and rotate my body clockwise and perform a sweeping kick on your clone. Once I have rotated a full 360 degrees I put my left hand behind me and lean on it. In this position, I bring in my right left and forcefully thrust it upward at the clones sternum with enough force to lift it several inches off its feet. The force and pain from the strike is somewhat debilitating as well. In this moment of weakness I shift into a crouch position and jump about 3m upward. At the peak of the jump height, I shift my weight forward. This causes them to gain some momentum that is shifted downward by gravity. I then extend my right leg forward so that my heel strikes the of the clones left trapezius muscle. The force from the heel drop sent the clone face first into the ground.

Okay, Tis a nice ambition and I hope you get what you want.


Now what you just did can be divided into stages, the leg sweep, the kick into the air and the heel drop. Now I want you to see each stages and assuming you are at the recieving end. How would you defend, react, counter or escape for each stage.
Mind you at stage 2, it means you are already hit by stage 1 and at stage 3, it means stage 1 and 2 were successful.

Try it.

I didnt know if you wanted freeform tai counters, actual taijutsu counters, or ninjutsu counters so I added them all. Also while lurking, I was reading a Lilli fight. Her and her opponent were in CQC range of each other. She performed a taijutsu move and her opponent countered with Nagashi. She then argued that at that range, the Taijutsu move should get off before Nagashi. Is this true? Also is the damage of a taijutsu move with multiple parts split evenly into those parts like projectile ninjutsu?

Stage 1: Leg Sweep

A leg sweep requires momentum to be used so it is usually preceded my a full body spin. If this is used to deduct a sweep kick then I can prepare to jump, use the basic fuuton jutsu to expel air through my feet and push me into the air, stick my sword into the ground so that they either stop their attack or drive their leg into my blade, and the spinning motion should take more time than the initial attack of Leaf Rising Wind which kicks the user into the air.


Step 2: Kick into the Air

At this I would have now lost balance. I could blow air through my mouth with the basic fuuton to push my upper body backwards thus dodging the kick into the air. This works because the sweeping kick would have disconnected me from the ground and make by body more prone to the effects of forces being applied to it. A rolling parry could also suffice. If I brought my arms together on my chest and shift my weight to roll my body away, i could either fully parry the kick or the kick would hit my shoulder and contribute to my spinning momentum. I don't believe any of my known actual taijutsu can be used in this stage.

Step 3: Heel Drop

Once in the air, I shift my position to one that is more favorable and catch the opponents foot against my chest, my arms are pressing their leg against my chest. Then I could grab the other leg and shift my opponent and I's position so that his head is facing downward and I can perform Peregrine Falcon Drop. In addition to that, a fuuton can be used to blow me out of range.

I don't think she's right IMO. Nagashi is extremely fast and would catch up before her hit could land.

Yea. Its way better you try it in all fronts. Also I like you counter, they are creative.

Though for the second one, there is this "Slap Technique". And it can be useful since you don't have to be in a particular position to perform a slap. You can just adjust your body mid-air, shift your weight and slap the kick, shifting it at the last minute.

(Konoha Daisenpū) - Leaf Great Whirlwind
Rank: C
Type: Attack
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: N/A
Damage Points: 30
Description: This technique is a series of kicking attacks, starting from a low kick and
linking into a middle kick and high kick then
finishing off with a heel drop. As the rotation
speed picks up the user gains buoyancy,
which they use to shift into gradually higher
attacks.

Now for the next one. You will start with a shoulder smash and while this disorients my clone, finish him with a strong punch. You have freedom to the way your shoulder smash and punch goes, depending on how convenient and the result you wanted.

(Rakanken) - Nirvana Fist
Rank: C
Type:Attack
Range:Short
Chakra Cost: N/A
Damage Points: 30
Description: A powerful shoulder smash followed by a strong punch.

Also for your question, I believe the damage won't divide, the target recieves maximum damage with the finishing blow. Though the build up blows does damage, they shift more into disorienting your target into making him vulnerable for the final blow.

I start running at the clone with shoulder tucked in. Once in range, I thrust to the area just below the chest and into the solar plexus which causes temporary paralysis of the diaphragm making it difficult to breath as well as debilitating pain. While the clone is phased, I bring my right fist back and then up to deliver an uppercut to the clones chin lifting it about 2m into the air of its feet. Now I bend back on my left leg and arm and kick the clone 1 more meter upward into the air with my right leg. Next I place my right arm next to my left and shift my weight on my arms while lifting my legs up. I then contract and extend my arms sending my body into the air and under the clone. Finally I bring my right leg in and thrust it into the solar plexus again causing the same amount of damage as before while lifting both of us 1m into the air some more. I do the same with my left leg and alternate between the 2 swiftly 6 more times before letting gravity take affect and pulling me back down. While coming down I orient myself upside up and land on my feet.

Good!!!

Next make 4 shadow clones and position them around my clone. With the help of any kind of distraction, overpower him by using the clone to plan a move where the clone's assault send him into the air. Then you while timed perfectly would jump high into the air and above the clone, smash him back down with a heel drop.

Ok. I throw a flash bomb above your clone rendering its hearing painfully and distractedly unavailable. I then create four shadow which all run toward your clone. As they reach 3m they get down and slide on the loose dirt letting their momentum carry them. They all arch back their right leg. Once in cqc range they extend their right leg all kicking your clone in the chin while lifting it up into the air. At the same time I jumped towards your clone at a 55 degree angle while flipping. I time my jumping so that once I reach the clone I can using my roatation momentum to power my heel drop and kick your clone downwards.


Question: I often see in the gates test that the testees dont use their environment. Would my sliding be an example of using the environment?

Yea you are on track. Using the environment to your advantage is what you just did. Another example is if the place were a dojo, depending on the surface of the floor, there can be more or less friction which can be useful for you or perhaps used against the opponent.

If the place is grassy, grass can be slippery when wet, so you can use this to reduce you friction and increase the time your momentum comes to an end.

A sandy arena would depend on the quality of sand. If its a fine sand, might be a bit sinky though soft, if mudy or clay-like, it might be gummy or hindering.

Many more ways to utilize the surrounding of yours.

Any more question?

Canonwise, there are ways to counter Taijutsu. When you gain speed enhancement, you can run faster than chidori could catchup or use lightning dragon tornado to counter the Nagashi. If you are only using Taijutsu and you have not gained speed that is faster than Nagashi, then then Nagashi might pose a problem. You can have lightning as a speciality and Nagashi would not work on you. Did you know that?

(Shishi Rendan) - Lions Barrage

Rank: C
Type: Attack
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: N/A
Damage Points: 30
Description: A variant technique of the Front Lotus, It is an ultra-fast combo attack that requires an advanced physical condition and a certain knack for it. The opponent is first kicked into the air and shadowed with the Shadow of the Dancing Leaf. Upon inflicting a blow, one takes advantage of said opponent's counterattack to spin around and rise again for further assaults. Since the fall is increased in velocity with each blow, the damage when one is eventually struck to the ground is inconceivable. All variations end with the opponent being thrown to the ground and kicked in the chest.

Okay, we move to the next one. Release your clones and then stretch out.

Now run towards my clone and when you are close, drop down and kick him in the underchin to send him into the air. Then use the Shadow dancing leaf to get behind him for the next attack. In response to you appearing behind him however, my clone would throw and elbow backwards to fend you off. Use his counter to your advantage, block and use it to rise above the clone and deal another kick on him sending him downwards. As he is about to hit the ground, finish him with another kick so that he receives extreme damage while crashing on the ground.



*sits and watches you*

As instructed I release my clones causing them to simultaneously poof.

Because my shadow clones are all around me and their dispersal results in smoke, I am effectively hidden by the smokescreen. While hidden, I burst forth with great speed towards your clone. Once in CQC range, I lean back on my left foot and pivot on my left hand while arching my right leg. I then quickly extend it upward kicking your clone, just underneath the chin, lifting it into the air. Next I quickly jump under him following his movements with the Shadow of the Dancing Leaf technique. While in the air clone tries to deliver a left elbow to me. I myself rotate clockwise with my leg extended and kick his arm stopping it from moving backwards. I then rotate counterclockwise with my arm extended and slam it into your clones stomach sending him downward. I keep the rotational rotation with my leg extended. Just as the clone hits the ground, I rotate my my heel into his stomach which would undoubtfully deal fatal internal damage from the physical trauma.

Good. For the next one, we'll be working on this scroll.

(Suiken) - Drunken Fist
Rank: C
Type: Attack
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: N/A
Damage Points: 30
Description: This unusual taijutsu style is a unique style of combat Drunken Fist Fighters become human powerhouses who'll strike unpredictability, with no inhibitions, an explosive fury and without any second thoughts about their actions. The user can either make themselves drunk or imitate the method by use of swaying and uneven balance on their feet to attack their opponents a total of 12 variant attacks.

But first, I want you to drink from that bottle of sake until you are drunk. Normally while drunk, you are not able to control your balance and sense. That is why your training comes in. You will learn to use those unbalanced movement to your advantage.
Start by getting drunk and doing some sways around some rotating wooden dummies.

I take the bottle of Sake and drink. Being a lightweight, I am instantly drunk. In becoming drunk I forget everything Sensei told me to do but still end up swaying around the wooden dummies in a futile attempt to maintain balance.

As you sway through the mechanical dummies, the sight was ugly as several of them are dent and few knocks on your face, though you can't feel the pain yet because you are drunk.

Okay try them one more time. This time, try to focus and just flow with the drunken state. Let an unbalance sway guide you to droping low for a sweep kick, a forward trip guide you to a quick forward roll. Using the drunken movement, use two taijutsu move you have learnt on the mobile dummies while avoiding them.

Ok. I now clear my thoughts and let my body moves sway and such to its own accord as if it has a mind of its own. My body then starts to sway in a clockwise circular motion before I loose balance and fall while keeping my circular momentum. As I am falling to the ground and catch myself and pivot on by right hand and perform a sweeping kick with my right foot. I then stumble to where I am standing upright before quickly falling forward. My body instinctively curled up to a shape similar to a wheel and I ended up rolling forward. This actually prevented me from harming myself. As I am rolling I clench my right fist and use the momentum to my advantage and punch your clone in the chest (Rock Attack). I then stand up and start walking backwards. To the untrained eye I should be fall at any second, but my balance is fine despite the swaying. Once I am 6m away from your other clone, I slump over so that I am looking at my stomach and run foward before jumping with my right leg extended and deliver a strong kick to your clone(Dynamic Entry)
