Taijutsu with Shuusai

[Drāgy]

Sawaii woke up early that morning, knowing that she had a training with a shinobi from Kumogakure. She sat quietly on a hill overlooking Konoha. She looked on at the morning sun and how it shines on the expansive village below. She smirked with excitement. As she was on the way to Kumogakure, the mother nature was not friendly. The morning was so damp and misty that it was impossible to distinguish anything more than a few meters away.

"Hmph, not used to waking up this early."

- She thought to herself followed up by a yawn. Even though she felt very cold, because of the weather outside she was happy inside because she couldn't wait to start training under the guidance of her sensei and of course it was her first duo-training so she was just excited for it. As she arrived in Kumogakure, Sawaii walked down to the training grounds, after having received word that she was gonna be taught under the guidance of the mighty and powerful Shuusai-sensei, in the arts of fighting, Taijutsu. Sawaii seemed weary, she also had sleepy eyes and a shivering expression, while her complexions generally appeared to have taken on the color of the fog outside. As she arrived she waited patiently on a tree stump under a tree for her sensei and her training partner. She could hear the smooth wind sweeping across the plains and took a deep breath, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous. She enthusiastically awaits for the arrival of Yang-kun and Shuusai-sensei.​

 

[Jokey]

Upon noticing his ''fresh'' meat, Shuusai walks politely towards the young lady which somehow... reminds him of someone he has seen, fought and took care of before.

''Hello there young lady, today I will be training you, and... another random boy Taijutsu, let's await him, shall we? O^O''

 

[Drāgy]

Upon seeing the strange-looking individual standing before her, Sawaii smirked with excitement. She realized that the man standing in front her was her sensei. Not losing focus, Sawaii speaks in a calm manner but with an assertive tone.

"Hello sensei, nice to meet you. We shall wait for the boy to arrive, he better be worthy though!"

As Sawaii was done with her small "speech", she sat down to meditate and waited enthusiastically for her training partner to arrive.​

 

[Jokey]

''Well, young lady, may I know your name first?''

As he starts talking he senses from quite a distance that the chakra presence of the other student that had to join suddenly stopped moving.

''It seems that it's only you and me today, Taijutsu it is. ^_^''

''Alright then, I want you to tell me the exact following;''

1. What is Taijutsu?
2. What are its weaknesses/strengths
3. Known users that specialize in Taijutsu from the anime/manga.

''Try to be descriptive, and put some effort in your next reply, Taijutsu is a known and famous thing, it's the very first thing that shinobi's developed.''

 

[Drāgy]

Sawaii listened intently with her eyes closed. She also gave the situation a deep thought and strategized her next moves in a mere matter of seconds. She gave a slight smirk and took a step back. As sensei finished with his question, Sawaii looked him with assertive eyes fixated and responded with rather jaded tone.​

"My name is Sawaii sir, as I've said before it's nice to meet you!

Now about taijutsu. Taijutsu is basically the so called 'hand to hand combat'. It's a basic form of techniques and refers to any techniques involving the martial arts/fighting style abilities. The taijutsu itself is composed of several arts, the most used of which are called Strong Fist or another type, the Gentle Fist. Taijutsu uses the body as a weapon to attack or defend against your enemy or against projectiles. Its powered by chakra but in a different way other than ninjutsu, as you don't need to mold chakra to perform taijutsu or a taijutsu technique. Chakra in taijutsu powers the body through its moves, you can also say that it acts as 'the fuel'. Taijutsu is also the basic skill that every ninja has to have. Also it generally requires no hand seals to perform, which is quite amazing in my opinion. The weakness of taijutsu is that you can't fight against someone with taijutsu only, because you will easily get overpowered with an elemental ninjutsu.

Taijutsu can also be advanced through the mastery of the Eight Inner Gates. These are the so called limiters that exist within the chakra circulatory system and that regulate the chakra output. Through intense training and skill, a ninja can unlock them gaining access to increased chakra output and increased physical power. However, doing so damages the body and may even lead to death, if you open the 8th gate. Oh yeah I forgot to mention, there are eight known gates. However I don't think that we will talk a lot about the Eight Inner Gates, since I'm far away from this level of skill.

Although it is used by almost every ninja, some characters in the anime/manga use taijutsu almost exclusively like Rock Lee and Might Guy. They are also experts of many taijutsu techniques."

As Sawaii answered all of her sensei's question, she remembered that she wanted to share something with her sensei and her training partner. Once again she spoke in a calm manner but with an assertive tone.​

"There is also one more thing. I've noticed something and I want to share it with you sensei. The thing is, that I find things which are possible in the real world, for example kenjutsu and taijutsu, have the capability of condensing so much more detail into what you do and honestly that is amazing, because I love to write in a lot detail and I really hope that you have nothing against it. In our RP we must be very careful with taijutsu because it requires to be extremely detailed during a hand to hand combat battle to be able to actually survive or even win the fight. Just an observation of mine."​

 

[Jokey]

''Alright, perfectly done. Everything you said is true. About the last thing you said, you should take an example of Vincent Valentine, which currently is a member of Amegakure. He doesn't like much explaining, and keeps his responses to moves; short, but clear enough for his opponent to understand what he does. But if you take an example of Crutch Gohan Kiyoshi, or Scorps Galen Binkan then you'll see that he also likes to be detailed, exactly like you do. There are some, that lack details trough their responses or moves that'll cause them defeat, and some know what their doing, and keep their response short but being detailed shall always be the best solution during battle's''

''Understood?''

 

[Drāgy]

Yes sensei, I understand. Honestly, I was thinking today about the exact same thing, that there are two types of using Taijutsu. As you have already said, the first type, is keeping it short but clear enough for your opponent to understand what you actually do and the second type, is to write in a lot detail and making it sound sexy, haha.

 

[Jokey]

''Alright then, good. Now I want to test how far you can go with Taijutsu... come and attack me, no Taijutsu technique's needed... oh, you didn't learn any of it anyway so uhm, just come at me. ''

 

[Drāgy]

Once again Shuusai-sensei started explaining to his student, in this situation Sawaii, about her next task. Sawaii listened intently with her eyes wide open. She next gave the situation a deep thought and strategized her next moves in a mere matter of seconds. She gave a slight smirk and took a step back and tried to concentrate once again. Sawaii closed her eyes. As her eyes were closed, she focused on her energy and the energy around her, she also thought to herself - "Poor sensei, he has no idea in what he is getting himself involved. I'll kick his ass." After that she took a deep breath and likewise opened her eyes. As Shuusai-sensei was finally done with his high intellectual instructions and upon hearing his affirmation, Sawaii immediately began by focusing on her opponent's, in this situation her sensei, position. She also made sure to look around her so she could be aware of the environment around her. There were majestic mountains, reaching out for the sky above and tearing through the clouds like natural skyscrapers, behind her. Left from her there was valley below one could hear their voice echo with even the smallest whisper in the wind from one of the summits. Right from her was a little lake with some trees, with tasty looking apples on the trees, around it.​

Without any kind of warning Sawaii's chakra spiked, the swirling energy was able to be seen for just a few seconds. At that moment Sawaii surged chakra into her feet, adding a slight boost in her overall speed. Next she launched her body forward and began a very high speed sprint. As she was approaching, she tried to do her best to devise her attack as carefully as she could and also trying, in a way, to predict her opponent's, in this particular situation her sensei's, movements. She had her cerulean blue eyes locked their deep gaze on the man standing just a few meters in front of her.​

Upon entering sensei's short range, getting close to him, she stopped with her left foot planted in front of her right, also her body turned so her left side is facing her sensei square on. Her sensei immediately tried to pull out a nasty and in the mean time powerful move, by raising his strong right leg up into the air and trying to kick Sawaii into the head. She managed to react fast, because she had saw when sensei stopped for a manner of seconds and began preparing himself for raising his right leg. As sensei's foot was rather close to her head, she swiftly crouched and by doing that she had successfully dodged it. While Sawaii was crouching, she also began stretching out her dominant right hand with her fist pointing out, exactly in the direction of sensei's navel. After that, she swiftly spun her body around, getting a full rotation behind a right-handed punch as she turned her body, pushing her full weight behind the punch, thus punched him very hardly, exactly into sensei's stomach and caused him to start banding from the pain. As soon as she made contact, with her left hand pulled back ready for a second punch, she began by twisting her body the other way around, spinning it clockwise now so that she could extend her, not so strong but strong enough for this situation, left arm into sensei's midsection, punching him very hard and pulling her dominant right hand rapidly back in preparation for yet another series of punches. After doing this for about three solid times, for a total of six punches; three with her dominant right hand and three with her, not so powerful, left hand.​

As sensei gained some balance, Sawaii proceeded with her final unique and very powerful move. She raised her right foot in a smooth, semicircular motion, lifting it from the ground to sensei's head in one motion. The kick was delivered with the curve of the front side of the ankle, thus throwing sensei rapidly on the ground. With a smile on her face, Sawaii looked him with assertive eyes fixated, also the morning sun was slightly shining and blinking behind her beautiful long orange-tone hair, and talked with rather jaded tone.

"That was quite an easy task, sensei. Give me something more challenging!"​

 

[Jokey]

You don't need to role play for me! >_<

As you try to raise your strong right leg up into the air and try to kick Shuusai against the head, Shuusai politely watched her react in a fast manner, noticing her trying to crouch backwards whilst stretching out her dominant right hand with her fist pointing out exactly into the direction of my navel, as she attempt to do so, right afterwards, Shuusai noticed her swiftly spinning her body around, getting a full rotation behind a right-handed punch as she turned her body, trying to punch Shuusai straight into the stomach but fails to do so as Shuusai quickly slaps her hand away which was formed into a fist to the right with his left hand, causing a hard slap that echo's all around us, and causes many birds to chirp away. As she fails to punch Shuusai, he notices her continuing with what she was doing by pulling back, ready for a second punch, and notice her beginning by twisting her body the other way around, spinning it clockwise now so that she could extend her, not so strong but strong enough for this situation, left arm into my midsection, trying an attempt to punch Shuusai, but as she tries to do so, he sends a large amount through his hand, and grabs the girl her arm which she tried to punch with and pulled her towards Shuusai, grabbing her neck with his other hand pushing her downwards, against the ground as both his legs try to get into contact with the girls legs, making her unable to move even a single muscle.

''Alright, that's enough Sawaii, I've seen enough, let's take a break.''

As he says they'll take a break, he politely pulls her upwards, helping her up, and laughs with a friendly smile towards her as he gives her a bottle of water.

''You got potential, you will become a strong kunoichi ^_^''

 

[Drāgy]

Oh damn ... I just realized that I role played for you, I should stop doing that since I should only explain what will happen and not what actually happens since in your reply you would most likely counter it/block it. I apologies about that.
-----------------------------------

Sawaii failed pretty much all her moves, so she was a bit lonely, she also couldn't gain confidence. Her sensei was really a strong shinobi and yet again he showed why he is so powerful. As her sensei pulled her upwards, helped her up, and laughed with a friendly smile towards her she felt a warm feeling inside her, she realized that her choice for a taijutsu-teacher was the perfect choice. Shuusai also gave her a bottle of water. She took it and sat on the ground and tried to relax for some minutes, because of the intense action that they had she was sweating and breathing hard. As she gained some energy she stand up and spoke in a calm manner but with an assertive tone.

"I'm ready to continue the training whenever you are ready, sensei!"​

''Alright then Sawaii! Let's do this!''

Rank:E
Type:Attack
Range:Short

Description:The user makes the sign of the tiger and force able punches it into the enemy's behind.

• How can the technique be used in battle (combos with other moves/skils, creative use, etc);

[Drāgy]

• Brief description of how I perform the technique;
  
  As Shuusai-sensei was done with his instructions, Sawaii began gathering some of her unique chakra in both her hands into the index and middle fingers as they form the tiger seal. After that she immediately rushed towards the opponent, in this situation your clone. Upon entering his short range, Sawaii swiftly gone up behind him. Next she got low and also got her hands down to the ground. After that she swiftly thrusted her hands upwards the opponent's butt, she also used her hips to help her get more momentum and power. Her tiger seal goes directly into your clone's butt rapidly thus catapulted him into the air. In a manner of second your clone lands near us and puffs away.
  
  
• How can the technique be used in battle (combos with other moves/skils, creative use, etc);
  
  For me personally this technique doesn't really seem all that useful, because you basically will get yourself killed if you use this technique against high skilled opponent. But I guess if you are in a spar with friend and you don't take it serious you can use it, but still ... yeah.
  
  
• Limitations of the technique;
  
  Well honestly, this technique can't kill anyone, unless the user of the technique uses an explosives. Also, something very important is that if the opponent/enemy hears you that you are coming from behind you are a dead man.
  
  
• How to counter the technique;
  
  I can use an earth-release technique, for example something like "Hiding like a mole technique".

​

 

[Jokey]

Exactly. If you really want to humiliate your opponent in the ninja world or something, then use this technique when you have a clone on the battle field. Throw a strong jutsu towards your opponent, that is loud, and destructible and the moment it leaves your mouth, blocking your opponent his vision then let your clone hide from underground and pop up behind your opponent, and put your fingers in his/her ass, it can all be done in one move if you used the shadow clone technique beforehand.

[Drāgy]

(Gangeki) - Rock Attack

• Brief description of how I perform the technique;
  
  
  Upon hearing Shuusai-sensei's affirmation, Sawaii began by chambering her right fist to her right pec and tucked her hips slightly to the right. After that she motioned her hip to the left to give herself a unique momentum and swiftly built up her full and unique energy. As her hip moved to the left she immediately began launching her fist towards her opponent, in this situation sensei's clone again, and right before she made the actual impact, she realigned her hips and pelvis to the center in a rapid jerk while simultaneously twisting her fist thus causing her punch to make strong impact into her enemy's, in this situation sensei's clone's, chest more exactly into its's solar plexus. The power generated from her punch caused the clone to be propelled backwards, several meters away, and after that he poofed away.​
  
  
• How can the technique be used in battle (combos with other moves/skils, creative use, etc);
  
  Well for me personally, I will use it as an possible opening to use a short range technique against my opponent, for example something like the lightning-release chidori.
  
  
• Limitations of the technique;
  
  This technique is pretty basic rank so it would mostly likely put you in danger when using it to punch someone, unless you are a taijutsu master/specialist.
  
  
• How to counter the technique;
  
  I can once again use an earth-release technique, for example something like that technique that allows you to have/create armor of rock.

-----------------------------

(Dainamikku Entori) - Dynamic Entry

• Brief description of how I perform the technique;
  
  
  Once Shuusai-sensei was done explaining the technique, Sawaii, with a slight smirk on her face, began by running towards your clone. After that she leaped off the ground, getting her perfect body almost completely horizontal and she next quickly extended her powerful and long right leg, while simultaneously retracting and chambering her left leg, her powerful right leg was extended outwards and she traveled towards your clone rapidly, as if she were spear , aimed at your clone's head.​
  
  
• How can the technique be used in battle (combos with other moves/skils, creative use, etc);
  
  This is why everyone wants to learn taijutsu, just because of this simple but beast technique. I mean this technique is epic just to spam it ... lol just joking. I suppose that once again I could perhaps use the kick as an opening to a fight.
  I'm not sure about that, but there was a wind release technique that you allows you to cover your leg with wind chakra, which will make the strike more powerful because of the wind affinity, the technique's name was "Wind Release: Hardliner Revolving Cut". I'm just not sure if you can combine a taijutsu with elemental ninjutsu.
  
  
• Limitations of the technique;
  
  Once again, as I've already said, this technique is pretty basic rank so it would mostly likely put you in danger when using it to kick someone, unless you are a taijutsu master/specialist.
  
  
• How to counter the technique;
  
  I can once again use an earth-release technique, to create armor of rock, I think that it is pretty solid counter for low rank taijutsu techniques.

 

[Jokey]

Alright, nice job, detailed and clean, the next ones;

(Konoha Reppū) - Leaf Gale
Rank: D
Type: Attack
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: N/A
Damage Points:10
Description: This technique is a good example of how even simple taijutsu can become a pre-eminently destructive, lethal technique. The attack is a simple rear spinning low kick, but a strong enough user can send a large adult flying as if they weighed nothing. The goal is to throw the enemy off balance, and deal damage to the lower half of their body.

(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.

I'm sorry for the late reply sir, I have recently been sick and I didn't really had the power to reply.
-----------------------

(Konoha Reppū) - Leaf Gale

• Brief description of how I perform the technique;
  
  Upon hearing Shuusai-sensei's affirmation, Sawaii began by running towards her target, in this situation your clone, at great speed. As she entered short range of your clone Sawaii dropped down low, with both her hands keeping balance, and she swiftly spun, aiming for your clone's ankle. After that she proceeded through with a powerful kick, and struck direct at your clone's ankle, as it was a joint it will most likely buckle easily under the pressure that Sawaii will put on it. As her kick makes contact with the clone's ankle, it caused your clone to lose its footing, and it quickly tossed your clone into the air. As he landed painfully on the ground, thus caused your clone to puff away.
  
  
• How can the technique be used in battle (combos with other moves/skils, creative use, etc);
  
  Well for me personally, I will use it to knock my opponent off balance with this leaving them open for an attack.
  
  
• Limitations of the technique;
  
  You lose track of your opponent when spinning for just a second, which can be deadly if your opponent plays his cards the right way.
  
  
• How to counter the technique;
  
  You can basically free form jump in the air and quickly attack, aiming for the head.

​

-----------------------------

(Konoha Senpū) - Leaf Hurricane

• Brief description of how I perform the technique;
  
  Once Shuusai-sensei was done with his high intellectual instructions Sawaii once again began by swiftly running towards the clone that Shuusai sensei created. As she was dashing towards your clone, she had both her arms prepared for a power high attack. Upon entering short range of your clone she made a swift jab, with the intent on making your clone to raise his own guard, after that the jab felt towards the target, your own clone. Next Sawaii used the split for a second opportunity to drop low, also she placed both of her hands on the ground and swiftly delivered a spinning kick to your clone's chest-area with her dominant and powerful right leg.
  
  
• How can the technique be used in battle (combos with other moves/skils, creative use, etc);
  
  It is pretty cool technique to have in your arsenal because, it is, in my opinion, a sneak attack that most of the time will be successful.
  
  
• Limitations of the technique;
  
  This technique is pretty basic rank and also it is a really bad idea to use it against an Byakugan-user.
  
  
• How to counter the technique;
  
  I think that I can counter it with a strength strong enough to block or even break the leg, for example I can even counter it with another taijutsu technique.

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.
