Oni Hyūga patiently awaits Yuri to begin his training in Jūkenpō​

-Arrives-

To begin tell me everything you know about our clan and it's abilities, try to be as detailed as possible and try to avoid using the wikia as much as possible.

 

[Shadou]

Our clan, the Hyuga is one of the few clans that originates in the village of Konohagakure. We are descendants of the Otsutsuki clan. The clan is split into two houses, the main and branch. The main house can be compared to royalty while the branch can be considered the guards because the main house runs the family while the branch protects it.

Hyuga’s are born with a dojutsu kekkei genkai known as the Byakugan. The Byakugan is categorized as one of the three great eye techniques. Wielders of the byakugan have distinctive white eyes with no visible signs of pupils. When the byakugan is activated by a Hyuga, veins bulge out from their temple, making us look even fiercer. Unlike the other pairs of “great eyes”, Hyugas are born with the byakugan therefore no method of awakening, like with the sharigan is necessary. The Byakugan gives its user an almost 360 degree field of vision, excluding one blind spot at the back of our neck. Like other doujutsus, the byakugan allows us to see chakra and chakra flow of others as well as determine when a genjutsu is being used. The circulatory system and the 361 chakra points are also visible to us with the Byakugan. We wielders of the white eye are able to zoom in or out to focus on objects and see through most solid objects as well as distinguish between a clone and the authentic. Another skill that the byakugan brings us Hyugas is the ability to follow high-speed movements that may occur around us. The byakugan can be activated through the use of hand seals or if the user is skilled (ranked) enough, without any set-up at all.

Along with the Byakugan, us Hyugas are known to use a unique style of combat known as the gentle fist, which is focused on attacking the body’s chakra pathway system. By injecting some chakra into our strikes when using the style of combat, we are able to internally damage a foe. By targeting the 361 points, skilled Hyuga’s who have practiced the gentle fist style can manipulate others chakra through their strikes by increasing or even disrupt an opponent’s chakra flow. Gentle fist also serves some other purposes, such as defending or supporting others.

You're pretty on point, except for one thing. A Byakugan is detect which is your opponent's real body when he has created Shadow Clones. See the page below;

You must be registered for see images

Now, let's proceed with the first and most essential part of becoming a Gentle Fist user-.. the activation of your Byakugan. To activate it for the first time you'll have to weave the following string of hand seals "Horse → Tiger with lifting just index fingers → Boar with nearly straightened fingers → Hare → Rat → Dog → Horse → Dog → Hare → Rat → Boar with nearly straightened fingers → Snake with the right index finger lifted straight up" whilst focusing the chakra in and around your eyes and upon forming the final seal shout out the word "Byakugan" and if executed correctly the veins around your temples will buldge outward while your vision is changed into one of 360 degrees.

So, once you've done that tell me what you see.

 

[Shadou]

Oni listened carefully to his sensei, taking heed to every word that was spoken by the man. His first step in this training session would be to active his byakugan, a doujutsu inherited by all of those belonging to the clan. Although Oni was a bit old, he always relied on his experience in the basic five elements of ninjutsu for battle. Even at his current age, Oni never successfully learned how to properly activate his byakugan; hopefully Yuri would be the man to aid him with this task.

Oni, after his sensei finished speaking, proceeded to raise his hands before his chest and weave together the required hand seals while focusing his chakra within his eyes. As he performed the last seal, Oni shouted out

Byakugan!

A few moments passed by and Oni didn’t notice any difference in his vision. He raised his left hand up towards his head and started to feel around his temples to see if his veins had bulged out, but they did not. Oni’s first attempt in activating his byakugan was a failure! Another few moments passed by as Oni starred at his sensei with a look of embarrassment upon his face. This training was definitely not off to a good start. Releasing a sigh, Oni brought his hands before his chest again and took some time to practice the hand seals. He didn’t know if he accidently missed one of the seals or didn’t form it right, but he did not plan on failing a second time.

Okay, I’m ready.

Confident that he would be able to pull off the activation this time around, Oni readied himself to string together the sequence of required hand seals. With just the slightlest lifting of his index finger, Oni formed the horse and tiger seals, nearly straightening his fingers, Oni continued the sequence by performing the boar, hare, rat, dog, horse, dog, hare, rat seals. At the time of performing these seals, Oni also channeled his flow of chakra in and around his eyes. He then performed the last hand seal in the sequence of the snake by lifting his right index finger while shouting out:

Byakugan!!!!!

Type: Supplementary
Rank: A-Rank
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 30 (-5 per turn to keep active)
Damage: N/A
Description:
One of the Three Great Dōjutsu (San Daidōjutsu), the Byakugan is the kekkei genkai of the Hyuga clan. Bearers of this Dõjutsu have almost featureless white eyes. When the Byakugan is activated, the user's pupils become more distinct, and the veins near their temples bulge as the blood flow to their eyes is increased. While having the Byakugan deactivated, Hyuga ninjas have a normal eyesight and no special addition to their vision. While low rank Hyugas will need to perform a sequence of hand seals ( Horse → Tiger with lifting just index fingers → Boar with nearly straightened fingers → Hare → Rat → Dog → Horse → Dog → Hare → Rat → Boar with nearly straightened fingers → Snake with the right index finger lifted straight up) to activate their Byakugan, Hyuga masters will be able to do so without the need for any hand seals and even have it active passively for long periods of time. Once activated, the user gains access to all of the abilities the Byakugan bestows upon them. While, like other Dojutsu, its main ability is to see chakra and the chakra flow in sentient beings, the Byakugan adds a complete new detail and dimension to that ability. The user can not only see chakra and the chakra flow, but also the circulatory system and even the 361 tenketsu. Added to this ability, once activated the Byakugan grants the user a near perfect field of vision 360º around himself (up to long-range if he's a master). This field of vision has only one blind spot, slightly above the 3rd thoracic vertebrae and facing backwards but enables the user to actually even see his own chakra circulatory system and chakra flow, which explains why all Hyuugas are so adept and masterfull of precise chakra control. The last ability the Byakugan has is the ability to zoom in and out, focusing on specific things, piercing beyond matter and energy alike, as well as chakra. This specific ability allows the user to see pass most barriers as well as physical matter (like rock walls, ground, etc) but also energy, being able to focus beyond chakra that might be in front of them or other energies. The zooming ability is enhanced as the user becomes more adept at using his eyes and can even reach distances above 20kms away. Some Hyugas have shown a great awareness regarding agressiveness as well as killing intent, detecting such intentions and emotions from others with more ease than most.
Note: Activation spends a move from the users own move count but once the user reaches Sannin Rank and has gained mastery over Gentle Fist for 1 month, he can activate it passively without spending a move. Because of its low chakra cost to maintain, the user can keep it active throughout the whole fight as long as he has chakra and stamina to do so.
Note: Genjutsu that requires Eye Contact when used against a Byakugan user requires direct eye contact between enemy pupil and user's pupil
Note: Must be activated to use Gentle Fist (Jyuken)
Note: Cannot be blinded by matter, chakra, light or energy
Note: Its tracking abilities are only marginally lower than a 3 Tomoe Sharingan

The veins around Oni’s temples suddenly bulged as the blood flow towards his eyes increased. His vision was also altered. He could now see things in a way that he had never seen before. This must’ve been the power of the byakugan which Oni had successfully activated for his first time. Oni then looked in the direction of his sensei to explain what he was now seeing with his white eyes.

Hmmm, this is amazing. My field of vision has increased but not that much past you (referring to long range). When I look at you, I can see your circulatory system as well as some of your tenketsus, I can also see the source of your chakra flow. It seems that I am also capable of zooming in and out to focus on specific objects.
​

 

[Roy]

Very good, now take a good look at my body.. can you see the small dots which are spread all over my chakra system? These are called Tenketsu, count them and tell me how many there are.

Also, what exactly are tenketsu and what functions do they have? What happens when you strike them with Gentle Fist?

 

[Shadou]

Oni kept his eyes locked onto Yuri, observing everything that he perceived with his byakugan. The young Hyuga nodded his head once his sensei questioned if he could see the dots. He paid close attention to the hundreds of nodes located throughout the body of his sensei. There was an abundance of these chakra points or tenketsus located in every shinobis chakra pathway and being able to actually see them through the Byakugan was amazing. Not trying to waste his sensei’s time, Oni took a few minutes to quickly count every point before answering his sensei….

I count 361 of these nodes that serve the purpose of releasing chakra

…When using the gentle fist to strike these points, a practitioner of the gentle fist style can cause severe damage to their opponent. Because the 361 nodes serve as a checkpoint in the chakra pathway, striking these nodes has the chance to halt a user from executing any ninjutsu or taijutsu if enough are damaged. We are able to increase or decrease the flow of chakra in our opponents by targeting these nodes.

Am I missing anything?
​

 

[Roy]

Nope, you got it U_U

Let's move on! [summons a wooden dummy] I want you to first get used to the concept of gentle fist. Strike the dummy a few times with your hands, palms opened ofcourse and then after a few strikes continue but this time try to release a burst of chakra from your hands with each hit you land. When practicing on the dummy I want you to be detailed on each area you hit and what the effect would be if you would hit an actual person in said area with Gentle Fist.

When detailing your strikes keep in mind one thing: Gentle Fist doesn't solely rely on the targetting of tenketsu, especially in this RP that is not quite useful. Instead you could instead choose to strike vital organs and nerves and such to deal a greater deal of internal damage.

 

[Shadou]

Testing on a dummy, ay? Fine with me

Oni nodded his head in response to his sensei’s request. It seemed as if the fun was finally about to begin in this training session. Oni smirked as he laid his white eyes upon the dummy summoned by Yuri. The dummy would serve as a stationary target for Oni to practice the gentle fist. Although Oni would had prefer it to be another human to test this art, a stationary target would do well for him to practice strikes. As he slowly began to approach the dummy, Oni listened to his senseis voice in the background.

Alright, let’s do this.

Oni took his own unique stance, placing his left leg in front of him and his right leg behind him with his feet shoulder-width distance from each other. His leading left foot was planted into the ground while the heel of his right foot was slightly raised. His knees were also slightly bent. Once his lower body was set, Oni raised his arms and formed an X, before drawing them back and holding his left arm out, in front of his face and his right arm raised towards his ear. His fingers were drawn inward with his open-palms held out, facing the target. Although this wasn’t the traditional stance, it was one Oni was used to.

With his stance set, it was now time to begin. Keeping his byakugan focused on the target, Oni pretended as if the dummy was an actual shinobi. Oni started off by throwing two feints of his left palm towards the dummies chin before retracting his left arm back and thrusting his right palm forward while slightly shifting his hips to add more leverage. His right palm would connect with the dummies chin which could potentially stun an actual target. Acting as if he was shadow-boxing, Oni pictured the dummy throwing a jab towards him. In response to this, Oni leaned backwards and slightly shifted his body to his right to avoid the jab. At the same time of his evasion, Oni would thrust his right arm forward, clashing his open palm with the dummies chest. After a few more practice strikes, Oni would then prepare to move onto the next step which was releasing a burst of chakra with each hit. It was time to get serious. Taking on a more traditional stance, Oni lowered his left arm from in front of his head down towards his chest and held it out forward with his hand open and palm facing the target. He also lowered his right arm down towards his waist, keeping it horizontal with his palm out. Channeling chakra within his hands, Oni began his onslaught. Leaning slightly back, Onj swung his right arm forward and shifted it up before his arm was fully extended, releasing a burst of chakra and connecting with the dummy with his open palm. The area targeted would be where a human’s left lung would normally be. Had this been an actual living target, a strike like this could affect the opponents breathing. Retracting his right arm, Oni leaned forward while powerfully thrusting his left arm straight, delivering an open palm strike with the release of some chakra, a little to the left of the center of dummies chest (where the heart would be located). A strike to the heart utilizing the gentle fist style could be very fatal if executed on a living a target. It could possibly result in death or the stoppage of blood flow although a weak strike would probably only bring the victims breathing to a temporary halt. A drop of sweat dripped from the forehead of Oni as he proceeded onto his next move. Quickly bringing his legs together, Oni pushed off the ground with his feet, leaping into the air above the dummy. While airborne, Oni would hold his right arm back and just before his landing, would thrust his arm forward while expelling chakra from his right hand. His right palm would connect with the top of the dummies head or the brain of a living target. Severe strikes to the brain would result in death, concussions, or loss of conscious. After delivering the blow and landing on the ground, Oni glanced over at his sensei.

Should I continue?

[Roy]

No that's fine, good job.

Note: Instead of going through all techniques in order I'll seperate them into various categories generally because the majority of the techniques are too simply thus by performing a single technique you'll also learn the variations of it which in the end are practically the same. This obviously means you can only use the techniques I list when in a fight.

Let's start off with the first category, this one revolves around strikes with the palms of your hands the most basic category of Gentle Fist but at the same time also arguablly the most powerful in close combat. What I want you to do is first assume the basic gentle fist stance, by extending one palm whilst keeping the other next to your waist and move your legs shoulder width apart with your dominant leg before the other one. To practice these palm strikes I'll have you spar with a clone of mine [creates a clone] the clone will run towards you to attack you with a basic jab towards the left side of your jaw and you will have to counter the jab and then take out my clone using nothing but high speed palm strikes and when executing them be detailed on the areas you strike and what the effect would internally. Don't get too comfortable however, if your move is too-.. lacking my clone will use that to his advantage and retialate.

-The clone charges towards you, sending a right handed jab towards the left side of your jaw-

 

[Shadou]

Oni nods his head to indicate that he understood what was expected of him after his sensei finishes giving him instructions.

Taking the traditional stance of the Hyuga, Oni keeps his feet shoulder-width a part with his right leg before his left. His right arm is extended with his right hand opened and his left arm is lowered down by his waist with his palm facing outwards. Oni slowly exhales as he prepares himself for his sensei’s clone. The clone suddenly starts to charge at Oni. Locking his byakugan onto the clone, Oni studies any slight body movements that may be performed by the clone. As the clone comes within striking distance of Oni, Oni notices movement in the clone’s shoulder which would indicate that a punch was incoming. The clone proceeds to launch a jab with its right hand directed towards Oni’s jaw. Reacting toward this, Oni sways his body back and moves his head toward the opposite side of where the punch was intended to evade it. While evading the jab, Oni quickly extends his left arm out and delivers a quick, open-palm strike to the clone’s abdominal area. This strike would knock the wind out of the clone and possibly cause internal bleeding. Quickly following up with his strike to the clone’s abdomen, Oni shifts his hips towards his left and brings his right arm across his body with a slight curve and strikes the clone’s jaw with his right palm. The strike if connected, would cause the rapid movement of a regular persons skull with the brain crashing into it which would end up in the brain having “short circuits” which would more than likely knock a target unconscious. To finish off his assault, Oni throws several open palm strikes in quick succession aimed at the clone’s chest which would interrupt the heartbeat of a regular person. The clone, not being real, was just pushed back a few feet due to the force of the strikes.

Not bad ^^ open palm strikes cover the basis of Gentle Fist, simply striking your foe in whatever body part whilst aiming to critically injure them through a burst of chakra on a vital spot or simply use it to leave them defenseless even if only for a moment. The techniques that revolve around simple palm strikes and the like can be found in the spoiler below.

Spoiler

(Hyuuga Ryuu Taijutsu) - Hyuuga Style Taijutsu

These are all the techniques which revolve around simple palm strikes, each technique obviously releasing a burst of chakra with each hit. Some techniques may be listed again later in the training as they might also apply to other categories which we will cover later.

Now, I want you to read through every technique and my explanations of them and ask any questions you might have ^^
