[Tai] With Moofy

[Ryóma]

A little surprised at the fact that the clone was attacking its creator, Tiashe nevertheless watched the spectacle before him. By the time it was over, he realised his jaw was open due to his amazement of that water/tai technique; it was pretty awesome.

Oooh, so they can be used in combination eh. Nice! So can other Taijutsu techniques that don't require chakra be used in conjunction with other techniques as well, or is it just this one?

Listening to Luffy's description, Tiashe was a little confused at first, but after straining his brain, he felt that he understood it. Giving a quick nod to his teacher, Tiashe went over to the clone. Standing in front of it, he took a stance with his right leg behind and his left one in front, slightly bent at the knee. Twisting his torso anticlockwise, Tiashe then struck out his right leg and kicked the clone's chest at an angle that caused the clone to fly up into the air, and backwards so that its back faced the ground. Following closely behind, Tiashe launched himself into the air, and took the same positioning as the clone, just underneath it though.

Whilst underneath the clone, Tiashe spun his body in midair, so that he moved more to the left underneath the clone, and the toes of his left foot faced the clone's stomach. Just as he was about to strike the clone's stomach, the clone grabbed his leg. However, Tiashe spun his body again, causing the clone to lose its grip, and allowing Tiashe to move higher. As he did so, Tiashe brought his right arm down forcefully, slamming it into the area just below the clone's neck, causing it to go down faster. Using the momentum from the blow, Tiashe twisted his body clockwise so that he was above and facing the clone now. Using this opportunity, he punched the clone with his right arm at an angle so that the clone moved a little away from him. This gave Tiashe the room to front flip in the air and extend his right leg out, slamming the heel into the clone's stomach and sending it crashing to the ground.

OOC: I see, thanks! Yeah, I found it strange how it was in two different techniques, but I guess that's because the Dancing Leaf one can be used for other purposes too.

That's precisely right, any taijutsu oriented technique that requires no chakra can be combined in the same frame of time, as other techniques that do require the molding of chakra. This of course doesn't fall only on the taijutsu department but any technique that doesn't require chakra to be used and logically allows it and is realistic. a smile was plastered on Luffy's face once his saw his student masterfully deal with his clone with his combination, he could see how his body had grown and adjusted throughout the training, they inching closer to the finish line. Now for the meat of the potatoes! *YUM*, you will be learning the legendary Leaf Dragon God technique. It is a very unique technique which can't be compared to anything you've learned thus far,
at least with the end result. This technique can only be used if you specialize in taijutsu, which comes after mastering the field. For the purpose of it, you'll be performing it against that tree to get a grasp of the concept. Using the base of your style, and the importance of foundation, weight distribution and momentum, you'll apply everything together. The technique is essentially an upwards spin kick.
The kick is so strong and fierce that it picks up wind currents, creating a tornado of sorts as you spin. The fast and strong rotation creates razor sharp winds that turn into a tornado in the form of a Dragon to be released in the form of a projectile of sorts, leaving the base to protect you if need be. Once the location of release is chosen, it will be out of your control as this is not an elemental manipulation but a simply by product of your raw strength. This technique is so strong that is able to fight on par with elemental ninjutsu. Please perform it and break down the technique after you've felt it first hand, alongside any questions you may have about it. After that, we'll move onto the last techniques of taijutsu with your shadow clones.


( Konoha Ryūjin ) - Leaf Dragon God

Spoiler

Type: Offensive/Defensive
Rank: A-rank
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 30
Damage: 60
Description:
This is an ultimate taijutsu technique created by the legendary taijutsu master Chen. It appears to be initiated by an upward spin kick at which point it quickly becomes like tornado. Forming into a dragon with long whiskers, it attacks the target aiming to swallow them, at which point they are cut by the razor sharp air currents inside the attack. After initiating the attack, the user appears to remain shielded within the base of the tornado as the outward surface of the dragon seems to be solid enough for a person to impact and rebound off of, making the only way to enter the technique once it has been initiated is by being swallowed. However, there is one distinct weakness to the technique. Since the Dragon God's real form (and what it basically is) is that of an ordinary tornado, though cosmetically shaped into a dragon, its attack power is based on rotation. If one enters the attack's centre (Dragon's Eye) while rotating at high speed, such as Lee's One-Man Front Lotus, it can be dispersed without inflicting damage. The technique, while seemingly similar to Wind Release, is actually just the users own physical power (through the use of the spinning kick) shaping the air into currents through movement. It is, however, enough to fight off elemental ninjutsu of the same rank and below.
Note: Can only be used by Taijutsu Specialists and EIG users

Awesome avatar!

Tiashe found it kind of funny that his teacher was treating the technique like food. Perhaps he was a food addict... As he listened to the technique being explained, he noticed the familiarity of it, before realising that it had been performed on him some time ago. Well, that brought back painful memories.

Ignoring the clone, Tiashe instead walked over to a tree as indicated by Luffy, and gathered chakra in his leg. Standing in front of it with his right leg back and left leg forward, slightly bent at the knee, Tiashe twisted his torso anticlockwise, using the momentum generated from this rotation as well as from straightening his left knee to perform an upwards kick with his right leg. The force of the kick was so strong that air currents started to form in the place, forming into the shape of a dragon with long whiskers. This dragon then went on to the top of the tree, destroying it as it 'devoured' it. However, since Tiashe was not a Taijutsu specialist, he could not utilise the full power of the technique. Also, the whole time the dragon was present, the base of the dragon surrounded Tiashe, all the way to the dragons head, shielding him from any incoming attacks.

Well, this is a pretty good technique, because it serves the purposes of attacking and defending at the same time, as well as the fact that it is on par with elements. This technique requires chakra though, which is fair enough because it's so strong anyways. It seems that the weakness of this technique is the 'eye'. If someone enters it, they can use something like a really fast spinning motion to disperse the air currents. I myself experienced being inside this technique before, and at the time I was restricted to using Taijutsu and barely knew any techniques, so I tried using exploding tags to disperse it. Of course, that didn't end too well... I don't have any questions for this technique though; it seems pretty straight forward.

Thank you! And congratulations on winning a contest, the name color looks nice ;4

That was very good! It could have been stronger, but thats natural as we need a speciality in taijutsu to fully unleash its true potential. Now we move onto the less interesting part of the training but still its own branch non the less. It is the Shadow Clone incorporation. The first technique is called, the Great Revolving which consists on first off, creating two shadow clones. After the clones have been made through the traditional way, they will jump paralleled with the ground as they hold each other's ankles. You will end up doing the same as you spin your body at an attempt to strike your target from mid-range away, maintaining a physical link and still reaching a further away target. The second technique is called; Upper and it consists of creating a single shadow clone to then throw towards your target. The shadow clone will proceed to deliver an upper punch. Please perform the two techniques in combination against the clone before we continue.

Whilst Luffy was explaining the next set of techniques to Tiashe, he couldn't help but start snickering.

Gehehhehh those are rather unique ways of using shadow clones.

Then he looked at the clone which he had so nicely ignored before. Tiashe seemed to be in a seemingly cheeky mood now, perhaps this is what happened when people became tired? He had, after all, performed many techniques in this lesson so far.

Oh, we're still using this? Okay then.

Staying within mid range of Luffy's clone, and still grinning because he found the technique funny, Tiashe created two clones besides him. Upon creation, one of the clones held the other one's ankles, and Tiashe himself held the clone's ankle as both clones were parallel to the ground. Forming a chain, Tiashe remained upright and standing, but he started to spin his body around, causing the two clones to levitate in the air and start spinning with him. Anything that was in their path would be hit, and the poor clones happened to be there, so of course it was hit. Tiashe guessed that in battle, it might also be useful to have the clones throw weapons at the enemy or explosive notes.

Gooooooooo guyssssss.

After knocking the clone over, Tiashe stopped spinning as his own clones had also dispersed due to the force upon them. Well, that was a bit of a waste of clones.

Moving on to the next technique, Tiashe waited till Luffy's clone stood up again, before creating another shadow clone. With this one, he grabbed it and spun a bit to get momentum, before releasing his clone in the targets direction. As the clone neared the target, it made its right hand into a fist and then smashed it upwards on the clone's chin, sending it flying upwards.

 

[ᴍᴏᴏғʏ]

The crystalline clone is hit by the initial attack and falls towards the ground only to find himself standing back up for the second onslaught. Taking advantage of the clone's airborne position, the clone thrusted his left palm forward, catching the strike. Upon contact, he firmly closed his hand around the clone's fist. In a fluid movement and combination, the clone brought down his opposite hand in a hammering-fist fashion striking above the wrist area, attempting to shatter the target's joints. Shishishi, clone's can definitely be interesting but chakra taxing. The last two techniques are quite ordinary, we have the Clone Spinning Hell Drop which consists of three shadow clones alongside the user, jumping into the air in a somersaulting manner only to come down on the target. The users involved will bring down their heels, striking the target on the shoulder areas and taking advantage of the force generated by the spinning momentum. The other one is called Clone Body Smash and is quite situational and perhaps the only one that can make use of shadow clones already present on the field without having them be complete waste. Specific requirements are necessary, for example not only being in the air but already having shadow clones out. From then on, the clones will throw them selves towards the target in the form of projectiles. This makes for an interesting technique if you want to evade minor aerial assaults whilst also attacking.

 

[Ryóma]

Tiashe watched as his clone from the second attack was easily defeated and disappeared. He then straightened his posture up and turned to look at Luffy, who was explaining the next two techniques to him.

Standing within five meters of Luffy's clone, Tiashe performed the Shadow Clone technique again, this time creating three clones besides him. Jumping into the air at the same time, Tiashe and his three clones started spinning forwards in the air, doing somersaults. As they came closer to the clone, one by one, Tiashe and his three clones extended their right legs outwards and each striked the target on the left shoulder with their heels, in quick succession after one another.

After landing back on the ground, Tiashe and his three clones once again jumped into the air. This time, one of the clones grabbed another clone by the legs and hurled it at Luffy's clone down below like a projectile. Another clone then did the same to this clone which had just thrown the other. Tiashe himself then threw this clone in the same manner at the target, before safely landing back on the ground.
