Old friend? Sensei pls ;-;
*enters holding a bunch of balls on strings, hanging loose*
Alright, just go ahead and skim through the CFS description, and then tell me what life is the principles and ideas behind this fighting style. Doesn't have to be too long or too short, I want to see if you understand it and how it's used in battle ^^
*holds the nexus of the balls, feeling them as he begins twirling them with great dexterity*

Type: NinTaijutsu
Background:
For years, countless warriors have fallen to larger enemies due to their own smaller stature and weaker physical prowess. Many tactics were created to compensate for this disadvantage, though many failed. However, during the Warring States Period, the warrior Roland encountered an enemy of much greater size. His opponent was a taijutsu master and had incredible raw physical strength. During his battle, Roland was at a disadvantage. He was unable to create an opening in the man due to his great size, speed, and strength. As such, Roland was forced to retreat and was unable to claim victory. While hidden, Roland began developing a way to compensate for his disadvantage. He needed a way to bind his enemy and deliver a much more fatal blow while at the same time sapping his strength and winding him through powerful blows. He created the bolas – a simple weapon, yet complex in its use. By combining his already existent taijutsu skills with this new weapon, Roland created a new fighting style, dubbed “Way of the Bolas”. As it further developed it, the Bolas could act as a conduit through which chakra could be channeled through, giving it certain properties that enhanced the abilities of the weapon. When he encountered the taijutsu master opponent again, his linear fighting style made it easy to predict his moves and intercept him with the bolas. The bolas bound him and rendered his taijutsu useless.
Description and Inner Workings of the Style:
The bolas are a very simple weapon in design. The creation of a bolas requires rope and weights. The base of the bolas is a straight rope. It is thicker than regular string yet thinner than large industrial rope. At roughly the middle it branches off into two or more rope branches. At the end of each of these is a weight. Each of the weights are equal in size. The bolas itself can consist of two or more weights (maximum of six). To throw a bolas one needs to understand the timing of a bolas. The user will grip the bolas from the nexus and gives the bolas momentum by swinging them. Using good timing they will be released from the hand and will swing toward the opponent at very fast speeds. The best target to use a bolas on is the opponent’s legs. It will restrict them and limit their mobility severely. Upon impact it will bind them and usually cause them to stumble and fall forward. With more weights and more force the bolas can actually cause injuries such as severe bruising and broken legs.
There are three methods of using a bolas in combat. All of which revolve around binding the target’s legs or arms. The first is a regular projectile bolas with no chakra channeled through it. As stated above the user will grip the bolas from the nexus and swing it to give the balls momentum. Upon release it will aim to bind the legs (preferably) or possibly the arms. The damage from this can vary depending on the strength put behind it. It can range from simple bruising to broken bones.
The second method is by channeling chakra into the bolas. One can channel either their raiton or katon chakra into the bolas. By channeling raiton chakra the bolas will gain a paralysis effect upon impact causing numbness in the localized region where it strikes. The stronger the raiton the greater the paralysis effect. The second chakra release method is katon. The user cannot channel extremely high amounts of katon chakra into the bolas as it will cause the rope on it to disintegrate. However one can channel controlled amounts of katon chakra into the weights on the end causing them to heat up. Upon impact the weights will cause first degree burns in addition to the regular bonuses the bolas gains.
The third method is by creating a tether to the bolas through the use of raiton chakra. It is based on the same idea as Lightning Release: Lightning Beast Running Technique. With the tether the user is able to control the path of the bolas. The advantage to this is that the user can attack from a different angle rather than the regular straight forward attack with a bolas. However the disadvantage with this is that since it does not move linearly it will lose momentum and not strike as hard. It will lose the impact strength to break bones. However it will retain bruising capability and a numbness effect along with its binding ability. By using this method the user will have to constantly focus and maintain their chakra which will make them unable to use other jutsu without a clone.
Bolas can have more than two weights on them causing various effects. However multiple weights will not change the core aim of this style – to bind the opponent at the legs or arms.

The bolas are a weapon that is simply some rope and two or more weights attached to the rope. There will be a nexus that the person uses to swing the bolas. The bolas is a weapon of sorts to halt people's movements if throw right. Tying up someone feet, or arms. Restricting movement. That also is the first method out of the three methods of using this style. Non-enhanced chakra.
The second method is using your elemental chakra either fire, or lighting. To do different types of damage/effects, lighting gives off a paralysis effect, while the fire one can heat up the weights causing a burning pain when one gets hit by it.
And finally the third method, if by channelling lighting chakra into the bolas and creating a tether so it gives control of the bolas allowing you to control it, to a degree. But there is a downside to using this method, it loses it's power. It will still hurt but not as much & using this method you are unable to mould chakra while using it.

Perfect :T_T:
Here, take one of these bolas... *hands you one of the most epic weapons in the NV*
You'll hold the bolas by the nexus, meaning the middle of the rope that attaches the two balls together. Give it a few practice swings and throw them at any targets you'd like. As they're thrown, they'll open up and spin much like a boomerang. Try aiming it at the base of an object. For this exercise, try it on a clone I'll make. Aim it at his feet, and they'll wrap around and twirl, trapping and tripping him.

(Bōrasu no Michi: Baindingu no Surō) – Way of the Bolas: Binding Throw
Type: Offensive
Rank: B-Rank
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 20
Damage: 40
Description: This is the most basic use of the principle of Way of the Bolas. The user will withdraw a bolas from their tool pouch and grip it from the nexus of the rope. They will begin swinging it overhead to gain momentum and then release it directly at the target. If aimed at the target’s legs and arms the bolas will bind the opponent. Even if it does not bind them the weights still do direct blunt damage. A direct hit with a bolas weight can break bones.
Note: The user cannot wield two bolas at once.

*Takes the a tight grip of the nexus* - (Saying Nexus reminds me of only one thing and that is Nexus old admin >_>)
From that he begins to swing the nexus just above his head so the weights attached to it don't head himself in the head. Seeing the clone being made and simply standing there he proceeds to throw the bolas towards the clone he aims to bind the clones feet. As he throws it he watches the clone and as soon as he lets it go the bolas go directly towards the clone, the clones feet at that and they swing around the clones legs binding them so the clone falls over. While also receiving broken bones.
Question: Couldn't you just do this technique free-formly (it's a word now)

(Nexus was cool. Miss him, even though I didn't know him much xD)
To answer your question, I guess you could, but that would make it free-form strength (which sucks). We made a jutsu specifically for the base move so that the bolas will always have a base B-rank strength (which means D, C rank techniques can't stop it ^^)
Good, you learned the very first jutsu!
Now, moving onto the advanced version of this base technique. Since you can't wield more than one bolas at a time, take one and channel Katon chakra through it, heating them up. Throw it at another one of my clones and note the differences in effects of the jutsu.
And for the final jutsu that we've developed for the CFS, take another bolas and channel Raiton chakra through it. Same process as the Katon version, but depending on how much Raiton chakra you channel, it can take on different ranks and effects. If you channel enough to make it a B-rank jutsu, it can cause numbness in an area. If it's A-rank, total paralysis at said area. If it's S-rank, it causes full body paralysis and electrical burns.
Try each rank on each clone. Note effects, etc.

So much work. >_>
Castiel begins by flowing his fire chakra through the bolas he does it ever so slightly since he doesn't want to burn the ropes. He then starts swinging it from that he throws it towards the clone standing at short range from him. As the bolas hit, they create burning damage, first(?) degree burns as well as breaking bone damage causing a lot of pain to the clone.
Next Castiel sees three more clones being made, he listens to his sensei. And, thus began he picks up another pair of bolas. Two remaining on the ground next to him he starts to channel a slight amount of lighting chakra into the bolas and then throws it at the clone aiming for his arms, the bolas hits the clone and causes a slight numbness on the clones arms. Without waiting a moment Castiel picks up another set of bolas' and channels a little more then last time, lighting chakra into the bolas and throws it the clone in the middle, the damage that this bolas causes with the amount of lighting chakra in it causes the clone to be unable to move his legs completely frozen.
And, last. He picks up the last set of bolas and channels a lot more then the previous two, lighting chakra in it. Throws it, and as it hits the centre of the last clone and causes the clone to be completely frozen, his whole body at that. As well as electrical burns.

Damage: 60
Description: The user channels their katon chakra into the bolas with two weights attached to it. The weights will heat up and cause severe burns upon direct contact with the target’s body. The bolas still retains its core principle ability – to bind the target at the legs or arms. The weights have enough momentum to break bones and severe bruising.
Note: The bolas will not ignite. It merely heats the weights enough to cause severe burns.
Note: Elemental strengths and weaknesses do apply to the weights.

Type: Offensive
Rank: B-S Rank
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra: 20 - 40
Damage: 40 - 80
Description: The user channels their raiton chakra into a bolas with two weights attached to it. This will give a paralysis quality to the weights when making direct impact with a target’s body. This technique follows the advanced method of Way of the Bolas. The paralysis effect can vary depending on how much chakra the user puts into the technique. At B-Rank the weights are capable of causing numbness in the localized area. A-Rank is capable of causing total paralysis in a localized area. S-Rank is capable of causing full body paralysis and electrical burns upon impact. The technique maintains the core principle of Way of the Bolas – to bind the target at their legs or arms. Elemental strengths and weaknesses and strengths do apply and the weights can only be thrown as a projectile in this form. The weights have enough momentum to break bones.
Note: B-Rank has no restrictions on usage. A-Rank can be used three times per battle. S-Rank can be used once per battle.
