[Tai] Training with Nathan-Sensei

[Joker]

Carl awaits his physical Sensei at the training grounds

 

[Nathan]

Castiel walks up to the training field, he sees the young boy standing there. Castiel then stops once he is close enough to the boy and then proceeds to say: "Hello, my name is Castiel; you can call me either Castiel, or sensei. Up to you. But first what is your name?"

 

[Joker]

Carl turns to see a figure approaching him, eealizing it wad his Sensei he waits. After his Sensei introduces himself, he utters his name with pure excitement, "I'm Carl, Carl Grimes" he says while lifting his hand out for a pound, or handshake.

 

[Nathan]

The one boy replies with the name Carl, and rises his hand to pound or handshake with Castiel. Castiel lifts is left hand up, and shakes the boys hand "Nice to meet you, Carl." - Now Castiel takes two steps back, and proceeds to say: "So, what do you know about Taijutsu, why do you want to learn it?"

 

[Joker]

Carl folds his arms and thinks about his basic understanding of Taijutsu, "Taijutsu is the physical interaction between two Ninja, usually withiut enhancements, unless we're including chakra enhanced strength and the Eight Gates. It's normally used when a user is conserving chakra or, engaging in CQC, which could help. It can be complimented by various power-ups like Kumogakure's Ay, he's able to compliment his fighting style perfectly by shrouding himself in an electrical armor that enhances his speed and reflexes. Konoha's Gai, uses the Eight Gates when engaging in physical combat. Due to the fact, like the latter, it enhances speed a reflexes greatly. The final Gate is the pinnacle of Taijutsu, allowing the user to access a power greater than the Gokage which physical strength alone. Then there's enhanced strength. Tsunade and Sakura Haruno use their perfect chakra control to direct their chakra into their limbs and muscles to give them monsterous strength, capable of decimating landscapes. That's all I really know as of now, but I want to learn it because I find the style interesting. Fighting in close range with your enemy can be thrilling and pressuring, causing the best to burst out of you, so you give it your all.", after Carl is done, he puts his hands in his pockets and awaits his Sensei's response.

 

[Nathan]

"Hmm, well done. Not too shabby. Only one thing."
Castiel takes a scroll out of his jacket pocket and unwraps the scroll, the scroll is long and rolls along the grass, passed Carl and then stops a few meters down.
"Here, I want you to read this. Yes it is very long, but I want you to have a complete understanding."

[Joker]

After Carl finishes reading the long, but informative scroll, he rolls it back up and sets it down on a flat rock beside him. He then reaches to his belt and grabs a small gourd of water, afterwards, he sighs and looks at Castiel, "That was really helpful, thank you"

 

[Nathan]

"Alright, now I want you to do 1,000 push ups while explaining to me what the Eight Gates are indepth."

 

[Joker]

Eh, 1,000? This dude seems hardcore...., Carl flops himself on the ground and begins doing his assigned push-ups. As he's going up and down, he begins to explain what he knows about the Eight Gates, "The Eight Gates are a series of stages that can be unlocked, giving you a boost of power. With each Gate increasing in power, it gives you the strength to exceed normal limits. The first gate, is the Gate of Opening. It allows the user to tap into ALL of their physical strength, when a regular human could only utilize twenty, percent. The second Gate rejuvinates the body, while adding onto the user's strength. Most of the Gates have a signature technique (i.e, Morning Peacock, Night Elephant), the third Gate's would be the Reverse Lotus. The blood flow increases so rapidly, it physically causes the skin to turn into a bright reddish color.

The Gate of Pain is released at the spinal cord. It causes an overall increase of speed and power. There is a chance it'll tear your muscles though. The fifth Gate does the same thing as the fourth, except for a different opening location. The Gate of Joy does the same thing, but it emits a big, colorless aura. It pushes away because of how strong it is.This Gate gives you the power of the Morning Peacock. The gate of wonder, emits a strong greenish, bluish aura. The aura is sweat seeping out the pores of the skin and hitting the air. The aura also happens due to the heat energy from their body. It's opening is located near the stomach area, this increases strength thoroughly, and once used gives you the power of the Day Time Tiger. But there's a consequence, it completely SHREDS your muscles, leaving you helpless. Finally, the Gate of Death. The strongest Gate, it gives you an unimaginable amount of power, even greater than the five Kage. When opened by jabbing your heart, you emit blood from the poors of your body, also called 'red steam' it acts as an aura. It increases your speed to the MAXIMUM, being able to bend space withh sheer movement alone. It gives you the power of the Evening Elephant and Night Guy. As the name suggests, it comes with a cost of your life"

As Carl finishes his little report on the Eight Gates, he finsishes up with push-ups with sweat running down his face. This is going to be intense....

 

[Nathan]

"Impressive, well done. Time for you decide how you want to go about this"

So; before we start the techniques you have been given a choice. Template or other training method.

So idea is simple, I will post the techniques and I will ask you to analyse them for me, for example: how to use it in battle, how to counter it, what is good about this technique (pros), what is bad about it (cons), what you like about it and etc. I think you pretty much get what I mean. The "How to perform" - part is a bit, not needed for, but you are more than welcome to perform it, if you don't understand the technique. It's better if we focus on the important things, like actually analysing the whole technique and knowing how to use it in a fight. Only filling the template is boring and sometimes not fun. I want to make this training as enjoyable as I can, I know templates can be boring and dull at times.

Something below are basic guidelines to use:

Spoiler

Example of points for every technique
+ How to be used in a battle
+ How to be countered in a battle
+ Some advantages and disadvantages
+ Your personal opinion about the technique

Do you have any questions about method?

Or you can chose to use this template:

Your choice. ^^

 

[Joker]

I prefer the first way, can't wait to get started

 

[Nathan]

Alright then.

So the best technique:

(Sennen Goroshi) - 1000 Years Of Death
Rank:E
Type:Attack
Range:Short
Chakra Cost:N/A
Damage Points:5(apply damage cost for kunai and explosives separately if either or both are used with this jutsu)
Description:The user makes the sign of the tiger and force able punches it into the enemy's behind.

What can you tell me about this?

 

[Joker]

How to be used in battle

I would say, you'd have to catch the enemy off-gaurd, as seeing you're FORCING your fingers into their, uhm, area. Or, you can add kunai for more damage, complimented with Hiding Like a Mole, this can really do some serious damage, if supplemented with or techniques/elements.

How to be countered in battle

Since it's a Taijutsu technique, the user can focus their Suiton chakra and release it throughout their body, turning them into water, allowing physical attacks to pass.

Advantages/Disadvantages

For an advantage, the user can subsitute the tiger seal and use a Kunai, which be further complimented with the Fuuton element, giving it a sharp wind blade and it handing out more damage. As for a disadvantage, the user will have to be awfully close to the target, if they have a time to re-act, they could easily counter attack. Or, like I said above, can let the technique pass through them.

Personal Opinion

Jokes aside, it can actually be pretty useful, with the techniques I stated above, it can be pretty fatal, 6/10

 

[Nathan]

With your Hiding Like a Mole idea, you would have to pull out a kunai once you emerge out of the ground, funny thing is I made a custom that allows you to do the opposite of that.

That counter is sightly over the top, any other ways you could think of?

"For an advantage, the user can subsitute the tiger seal and use a Kunai, which be further complimented with the Fuuton element, giving it a sharp wind blade and it handing out more damage." - Without the use of fuuton, what are some of it's other advantages?

 

[Joker]

Hmmm, without using HLaM, you can attach an explosive tag to the kunai, resulting in a serious amount of damage to the opponent. Another advantage would be it would catch the enemy completely off-gaurd. The use of the technique'll probably make it hard for them to take you seriously, therefore underestimate you, you can exploit them and turn the battle in your favor.

This is all I got for this technique

 

[Nathan]

"you can attach an explosive tag to the kunai, resulting in a serious amount of damage to the opponent." - Really? You'd do major damage to your hands? That could work against you.

 

[Joker]

I guess you're right, well my last thought is, you can coat yourself in a Raiton shield, emitting from your body then strike your opponent. Electrifying them, and dealing extra damage. The jutsu is, Raging Thunder.

 

[Nathan]

Good, that is a good one. We can move on now.

(Gangeki) - Rock Attack
Rank: D
Type: Attack
Range: Short
Chakra cost: N/A
Damage points: 10
Description: The user will strike their opponent with a strong punch to the chest

So what can you tell me about this one?

 

[Joker]

How to be used in battle

This would normally be used in hand-to-hand combat, when you're engaging the enemy head out without any supplements (if you want to, that is). If you're able to get an opening, revealing their chest, you could strike it accordingly with this technique.

How to be countered in battle

Always have your guard up, the moment your enemy tries to make physical contact, you can create a dense shield of Fuuton to block their attack (Fūton: Sensougouheki), then counter attack with anything you choose.

Advantages/Disadvantages

A disadvantage would be attempting to hit them in the chest. It's not as simple as it sounds, considering what I stated above. They can easily block, and or distance themselves from your attack. An advantage would be once hit, it can throw them off for a bit, meaning you have a chance to get in another strike.

Personal Opinion

I would use this technique in a Taijutsu battle, albeit i'd support it with Raging Thunder, but it'll work. 4/10

 

[Nathan]

Correct. Good work.

(Dainamikku Entori) - Dynamic Entry
Rank: D
Type:Attack
Range:Short
Chakra Cost:N/A
