Taijutsu Styles [old]

[Rocket Punches]

▰▰▰ Taijutsu:
Taijutsu! The power of youth!
Physical arts mastered through tempered hard work, determination, and sweat. Most users of Taijutsu are physically fit, but there are shinobi capable of using their odd shapes and forms to better their Taijutsu game.

Below is a listing of Taijutsu Styles you are able to learn within our fine guild, Shinobi Revolutions!
Just remember that your main and sub-class dictate how many Taijutsu Styles you are able to learn, so go check to see what that number is!

▰▰▰ Stages:
Unlike Ninjutsu and Genjutsu, Taijutsu techniques are separated by [ Stages ].
Simply put: a Stage is a limitation placed on one or more techniques to prevent someone from learning high-end Taijutsu before the lower ones.
Those who wish to learn a Taijutsu Style start at the very first stage (stage one) and proceed by learning all techniques within that set stage.
After doing so, they are able to move up to the next stage, which- as one would think -contains stronger techniques to learn.
Stage One is E-Rank, Stage Two is D-Rank, Stage Three is C-Rank, Stage Four is B-Rank, Stage Five is A-Rank, and Stage Six is S-Rank.

• Body-Rank learning restrictions apply to Taijutsu as they do any other jutsu.

▰▰▰ Variations:
Bukijutsu techniques come in three variations: simple, complex, and spiritual.
This is the Bukijutsu and Taijutsu Equivalent of counterbalancing (相殺, Sōsai)
• Simple: Taijutsu techniques that require Stamina to perform. Considered universally weaker than Complex and Spiritual techniques of the same rank.
• Simple Techniques are treated as [1-Rank] Weaker when against Complex Techniques.
• Simple Techniques are treated as [2-Rank] Weaker when against Spiritual or Ninjutsu Techniques.
• Complex: Taijutsu techniques that require Stamina and Chakra.
• Complex Techniques are treated as [1-Rank] Stronger when against Simple Techniques.
• All Complex Techniques are treated as [1-Rank] Weaker in collisions with Spiritual or Ninjutsu Techniques
• Spiritual: Taijutsu techniques that require only Chakra to perform.
• Spiritual Techniques are treated as [1-Rank] Stronger when against Complex Techniques.
• Spiritual Techniques are treated as [2-Rank] Stronger when against Simple Techniques.
• All Ninjutsu is treated as [Spiritual] for the purpose of interactions.

▰▰▰ Stats:
Stats are small bonuses given out by Taijutsu and Bukijutsu Styles to increase either strength, speed, agility, or endurance. For mastering the third stage of a style [1] stat point is granted and mastering the sixth stage offers another point for a total of [2] stat points that can be freely allocated to any stat(s) of your choosing. Techniques can also temporarily boost your stats according to their description (consult the temporary stat boosts section of the stat system). More information can be found here.

▰▰▰ Types:
Aside from Simple and Complex, some Styles have other types which have particular effects and learning guides. More commonly, these additional types will be explained in the style itself, however there are a few that may not:
• Practice techniques are learned as if Simple techniques of the same rank.
• Training techniques are learned as if Complex techniques of the same rank.
• Once a Practice or Training technique has been learned, it becomes a passive bonus for the practitioner.

▰▰▰ Style Creation Credits:
• Kondo Kaicho

Stage One

▰ Gliding Step | Rank X | Simple
The basic stance of the style which requires the user stand with their feet wide spread, similar to a horse stance with their center of gravity low, their hands raised in knife hand like forms. Techniques executed from this stance receive a [1] point increase to agility for the duration of the technique. In addition, should the user be in this stance when the target attempts a physical blow, the user may shift their position, pivoting around the target to resume the same stance. This action costs stamina in the amount of the technique dodged in this manner but requires no activation.

▰ Half Circle Chop | Rank X | Simple
This technique becomes effective when the target is unable to avoid their opponent's actions. As a physical attack or projectile attack approaches the user, they hold their hands up before the attack. With a swift wrist turn, the user performs a chopping motion of a single hand. This action redirects the attack in the direction of the action the user performed.

▰ Downward Circle | Rank X | Simple
The user turns their body as they step forward, throwing their weight into their next strike. Using the knife hand fist of the style, the user strikes downward on the target's upper torso, aiming at the shoulders. If used above the target's body rank, this technique has the ability to dislocate the opponent's shoulders which renders their arms useless until an activation is spent along with the stamina paid for this technique to pop them back into place.

Stage Two

▰ Full Circle Counter | Rank X | Complex
The user holds both their arms extended fully to both sides as an incoming ninjutsu attack approaches. Gathering chakra in both hands as they bring one arm up and one arm down they concentrate the chakra in a spiraling motion in their center. As the ninjutsu impacts the chakra spiral, it is sent flying back in the direction it originated.

▰ Snapping Rotation | E-A | Simple
A counter to an opponents physical attack. The user grabs their approaching limb with a single hand. The user then rotates their hand rapidly in the opposite direction that the target's limb can bend, causing the limb extreme pains and stress fractures between E-C Rank and between B-A rank, the limb is snapped.

Stage Three

▰ Circle Over | X Rank | Simple
The user performs a front flip, clearing the target as they perform the flip. As they finish their rotation for the flip, the user delivers a swift kick that knocks the target in the opposite direction. This technique can be used for the user's defensive activation, allowing a simultaneous evasion and offensive action.

▰ Rotation of Forces | Rank C | Spiritual
The user expels chakra from their body that quickly swirls around them in the direction of their choosing. This rotating current of chakra throws those who come within a twenty-foot radius of the user into the current and off of their feet. This may be resisted by paying chakra equal to the rank of this technique. This current lasts for a total of four posts.

Stage Four

▰ Reaping Circle | Rank B | Simple
The user squats low to the ground ( using gliding step stance works as well ) and extends both arms out to their sides while moving their nearest hand to the opponent's leg. The user reaps their leg, pulling them from the ground. At the same time, the opposite hand sends a burst of chakra from it as it crosses over the target to spin them like a pin-wheel. If un-evaded or defended, the target is stripped of a single activation their following post.

▰ Piercing Rotation | Rank X | Complex
The user channels their chakra into their limb as it rotates and spins rapidly around it. The user then strikes the target with the limb. The infused chakra causes the opponent to spin rapidly and carries them five feet per rank of the technique. If paired with another technique that rotates, the added effects and stat increases of the other technique are mirrored on this technique.

Stage Five

▰ Circle Carry | Rank A | Simple
The user ducks beneath the target's center of gravity, using their own shoulders to lift the target from the ground, scooping them up and dropping them directly before the user on the ground. If the target does not evade or block this action, their available stamina and chakra is reduced by half for the next two posts.

▰ Cleaving Circles | Rank X | Complex
The user rotates both arms rapidly, mimicking a windmill like motion while holding their hands in a knife hand position. The user's chakra infused motions rotate so quickly that the user is able to cleave through barriers and other techniques by paying the cost of the technique being interacted with for no additional activation. This cost is separate from the cost of this technique's execution, allowing them to continue their assault as though they were uninterrupted.

Stage Six

▰ Rotate and Lock | Rank X | Simple
The user uses an open hand to catch an opponent's incoming physical attack using their upper body ( punches, weapon strikes, ect. ). As the opponent comes within range, the user steps to the outside of the target's body, grasping their arm. With their opposite hand they deliver a swift chopping strike to the target's shoulder, impacting it with great force. After delivering the strike, the user leaves the chopping hand in place, applying pressure to lock the target in place. The target is able to break this lock by paying the cost of the technique plus one rank of stamina per [2] point difference in strength between user and target. If the difference in strength is less than a full rank, the cost is rounded down.

▰ Small Circle Principle | Rank S | Training
The user has learned to utilize their physical arts with mimimal effort while obtaining equal results. Simple techniques require 5 less stamina per rank of the technique. This training may not be layered with other training that gives reductions of this manner.

The user stands with their dominant side facing forward, their front leg extended with their weight on their back leg with the knee bent. The user's arms are raised up, covering their upper torso and face from blows. Techniques and basic combat attacks executed from this stance gain a [1] point increase to agility per rank of the stance applied. This technique requires an activation to enter the stance, but once entered it can be returned to for no activation after the user of an attack.

▰ Shifting Tide | Rank X | Complex
A simple maneuver involving a quick step infused with chakra to avoid an attack by shifting one's weight at an incredibly fast pace. For each rank of the technique, the user gains a [1] point increase in agility as well as a [1] point increase to speed for the next offensive action taken.

▰ Crashing Wave | Rank X | Simple
A fluid, single jab or hook punch that is drawn back immediately. If this skill is used as the next action after avoiding an attack, the opponent loses a [1] point amount in agility when trying to avoid the attack per rank of the technique.

Stage Two

▰ Undertow | Rank D | Training
This training focuses on using movement when you attack, carrying that much more force. After this skill is trained, any attack that follows a dodge or evasive technique is treated as a counterattack, and the user's total bonus to agility can be attributed to the strength of the next attack. When this ability is performed it cannot be used the following post.

▰ Riptide Movement | Rank X | Complex
The user channels chakra into their feet, allowing them to perform a single movement at a rapid speed by releasing the compressed chakra from their soles. This skill provides a [1] point boost to speed per rank of the technique as well as covering or retreating a distance of five feet per rank.

Stage Three

▰ Crashing Tide | Rank X | Complex
The user strikes at the foe from a defensive posture, targeting their face. A burst of chakra surges through the user and enhances their strike to give it concussive results. Should the attack go undefended, the opponent is stunned their next post and loses a single activation for that post. Even if defended against, the target is blown back five feet per rank due to it's concussive nature. Each rank that the technique is executed at ignores a [1] point bonus to the opponent's agility for this attack.

▰ Swelling Tide | Rank X | Simple
A technique that allows the user to pay the equivalent of a technique used to avoid an opponent's attack this post. By doing so, the user is able to add the agility bonuses of the action to the speed of the next offensive counter strike.

Stage Four

▰ Repeating Wave | Rank B | Training
The user's training has focused on their agility ability to strike while avoiding harm. Once every three posts, the user may utilize an offensive technique that targets a specific part of the target's body that would disrupt their attack. This offensive attack deals damage regularly but allows the user to use their remaining activations as offensive as well.

▰ Tsunami Counter | Rank X | Complex
A supplementary technique that infuses the user's arm with chakra as it spirals down their arm and into their hand while they perform an offensive technique. This spiraling chakra is released on impact of the parent technique, giving it the ability to disperse any chakra based technique equal to the cost paid for this technique.

▰ Eroding Brine | Rank X | Complex
By charging chakra into the coiled muscles before a strike, somewhat like A Strong Current, the user can deliver a more powerful blow. The concussive force is focused more on the impact zone instead of being more general, and is generally geared towards breaking bones or delivering final attacks. Counts as a supplementary action, best used just before a strike is released. This skill is not limited to the arms, and can be focused in the legs as well.

Stage Five

▰ Tsunami Striking | Rank X | Complex
An advanced, alternate form of Tsunami Counter The user applies their swirling chakra to their entire body which causes a rotating aura of chakra around the entire body of the user. This chakra rotates and deflects both physical and chakra based attacks away from the user. Should the user strike an incoming chakra based attack, the effects of whatever technique was launched at the user are drawn in and absorbed by the Tsunami Strike, allowing the user to strike the target with a physical strike augmented with their own technique.

▰ Downpour | Rank X | Simple
An offensive series of rapid and seemingly random set of five strikes that use both punches and kicks. During the execution of this technique, the user's agility are added to the user's speed modifiers. If the user's speed is higher than the opponent's agility, these attack appear as little more than a blur of motions.

Stage Six

▰ Tsunami Barrage | Rank S | Complex
The user's ultimate counter to physical attacks. While the opponent launches a physical attack to include basic combat methods, the user catches the attacking force and uses a retreating action to pull the target off balance. Should the user successfully grasp the target, the remainder of this counter is assured to strike. The user loads their free hand with an intense amount of chakra, aiming to strike through a target with all their might, giving their agility bonuses to their strength modifiers for this single technique. Following this attack, the user is unable to utilize the ability in techniques that add agility modifiers to other attributes for three posts due to the fatigue that follows.

 

[Rocket Punches]

▰▰▰ Description:
Kyotoryuu, an unarmed fighting style designed through generations of warriors who strongly believed the body was as sharp as any sword to be wielded. Through many failures and successes, the Kyotouryuu became exactly what they wanted of it, and more. Those who master this style are said to be plenty capable of holding their own against any armed or unarmed enemy to be encountered. Fearless, powerful, and efficient, practitioners essentially became the embodiment of fleshly swords waiting to be given a reason to direct their honed blades at any given foe. Often, they refer to themselves as a Kyotouryuu or a Swordless Swordsman. The art's roots come from deep within Zaishin, the capital of the Land of Iron.

▰▰▰ Notes:
• Practitioners are able to use basic combat physical strikes with knife hands, changing their blunt damage causing attacks to inflict damage akin to bladed weapons.


▰▰▰ Style Creation Credits:
• Kondo Kaicho
• Regalina Kaicho

Stage One

▰ First Stance: Lilly of the Valley | Rank X | Simple
The primary offensive stance of Kyotouryuu is prepared with the user's left foot forward and pointed ahead, their right foot to the rear and angled sideways, the right hand forward with the palm facing ahead, and their left hand at the side but also directing the open palm forward. Any Kyotouryuu technique delivered from this stance is considered capable of inflicting wounds comparable to that of a sword after countless hours hardening their hands. Basic combat strikes retain cutting and stabbing capabilities from this stance when active. Swinging strikes can cut into flesh and thrusting strikes can impale or pierce. For each rank of the technique, the user's strength is increased by [1] point. This stance requires a single activation to enter, however, if a technique is executed from this stance, the user may return to it for no additional cost.

▰ Orchid | Rank X | Complex
The Kyotouryuu jumps into the air to close distance on the opponent. With a burst of chakra prepared while jumping, they can redirect themselves on the way back down to the ground. This allows them to either tenaciously seek out the enemy to land their attack or simply evade an oncoming counterattack. The burst of chakra can propel the user up to five feet per rank of the technique in whatever direction they want, allowing for seemingly impossible aerial maneuvers. Once every three posts, this technique can be used in conjunction with an offensive technique for no activation cost.

Stage Two

▰ Magnolia | Rank X | Simple
A feinting kick attack of the Kyotouryuu which produces powerful gusts capable of pushing and throwing objects or people that are up to the body rank of the target. The direction of the produced wind follows the direction of the kick and will throw anyone/anything caught in its 5 ft range surrounding the user flying for ten feet per rank of the technique.

▰ Bell-Flower | Rank X | Simple
The user reaches out as an opponent attacks and catches the oncoming strike by the enemy's hand/foot by paying the cost of the technique being countered. With a timely exertion of their strength and effective use of the enemy's momentum as well as advantageous leverage, the Kyotouryuu practitioner throws the enemy around or over their self. If the target's Strength is not superior to the user's, this technique is unblocked. For an additional activation, the user may pin the target to the ground with a basic combat submission that is equal to the target's body rank. The target must pay stamina equal to the cost of the applied stamina in addition to a rank of stamina per [2] point difference in strength favoring the user.

▰ Peony | Rank X | Complex
A powerful rising kick with the leg swung straight out, leaving the other leg at an obtuse angle from the ground. Generates a gust powerful enough to deflect those advancing upon them as well as ninjutsu or projectiles at or below its rank in strength and potency. Opponents directly impacted by the kick are flung into the air five feet per rank of the technique. This technique gains a [1] point
increase in strength per rank of the technique.

Stage Three

▰ Second Stance - Daffodil | Rank X | Simple
The primary defensive stance of Kyotouryuu is prepared when the user's left foot is positioned ahead of themselves with the right about one foot behind the left foot; their arms are poised at their sides, bent at the elbows with open palms facing upward. The user gains a [1] point increase in agility -or- endurance when defending from this stance per rank of the technique. This stance requires a single activation to enter, however if a technique is executed from this stance, the user may return to it for no additional cost.

▰ Poppy | Rank X | Simple
An upward palm strike executed with such precise strength that it will send any opponent(s) within ten feet of themselves five feet per rank of the technique into the air due to the blast of air pressure following the blow. The attack itself is executed so quickly that an intangible afterimage finishes its execution, reducing the target's agility for the next attack [1] point per rank of this technique. This technique is often used defensively, allowing the user to counter attacks.

▰ Patrinia | Rank X | Simple
A Kyotouryu disarmament technique executed by striking the broad side of a wielded weapon, or the wielding arm/hand itself. The strike from this particular attack sends vibrations through the weapon to the wielding hand and through their arm, numbing the entire limb into an uncontrollably relaxed state. This forces the opponent to release their weapon and prevents them from using that limb for any actions for two following posts. If a weapon was held by both hands at the time, then both hands will be affected. This technique must be executed at the target's body rank.

Stage Four

▰ Third Stance- Iris | Rank X | Simple
This movement-focused stance of Kyotouryuu is prepared by getting into a "race start" position (either with your fingers or the bottoms of your hands on the ground). Once done the user may rush forward at any angle, leaving behind an intangible afterimage in their place as a feint while moving at a [1] point increased speed per rank while reducing their agility the following post by [1] point per rank. If the conjoining attack is of the Kyotoryuu style, there is no activation paid.

▰ Violet | Rank B | Simple
The Kyotouryuu user simultaneously slams both of their knife hands into the torso of their opponent, unleashing a powerful and focused shock wave directly through the enemy's body. The resulting damage causes bloody blistering of the flesh inches around the struck that explode from the back of the user as well. The opponent is thrown twenty feet away from the user after being struck. This technique reduces the target's agility to zero for two posts.

▰ Scattered Blossoms | Rank X | Simple
The Kyotoryuu delivers a powerful ax kick while above the target as they fall to earth. This ax kick carries the user's dangerous ability to slice with their taijutsu. The ax kick slices through its target with ease while delivering such a concussive blast that it sends the target plummeting into the earth. The sheer impact creates a cater five feet in width per rank of the technique, measuring half as deep.

Stage Five

▰ Dandelion | Rank A | Simple
A thrusting technique comprible to Chidori's piercing power. This technique is a knife handed thrust that pierces through flesh and steel alike, ignoring armor tiered defenses and treating ninjutsu armors as one rank lower. This technique gains a [2] point increase in strength.

▰ Falling Blossoms, Scattered Leaves | Rank X | Complex
The user focuses their chakra into their hands performing a dual handed strike against the enemy's torso in an X shaped attack. If unblocked or evaded, the opponent's chakra network is scrambled, forcing them to use no spiritual, complex, or chakra based techniques above the rank of this technique for three posts per rank of the technique. The target may break this technique's effect by paying three times the cost of this technique in chakra to jump start their chakra network.

▰ Cherry Blossom | Rank X | Simple
Utilizing masterful levels of speed and power, the Kyotouryuu can deliver a series of fifteen powerful strikes in the time it would take them to launch a single punch. These attacks are enhanced by compressed air which carries the user's unbridled strength five feet per rank of the technique. The more energy expended for this attack, the more damage they become capable of. Should the first strike of this combination land, the remainder are guaranteed to strike. The bladed strikes of the user's hands decrease the target's endurance by [1] point per rank of the technique if successful. If used in combination with a concussive technique, that technique mirrors the stat increases of this technique.

A powerful strike directed at the opponent's body. The punch is an armor-piercing technique of the Kyotouryuu that can hit behind armor, shields, barriers, etc. without damaging the barrier that was immediately struck. However, whoever or whatever is behind the struck target will suffer damage as if they weren't protected at all.

▰▰▰ Description:
The Gentle Art consists of throws, chokes, submissions and joint locks with supplementary striking techniques where allowed. It's mantra ' Minimum Effort, Maximum Efficiency' teaches that one should always use their opponents' physical actions in combination with their own to achieve the best results. It's founder taught his pupils that mutual benefit and welfare for humanity was their ultimate goal and that practitioners should personify these teachings. While these things have been lost for some schools, older lineages of the style still pass this tradition on.

▰▰▰ Notes:
• Breaking Gripping techniques and choking techniques require the target pay not only the cost of the technique to defend, but the difference in their strength paid in ranks of stamina rounded down. ( A [2] point difference in strength requires a rank of stamina be paid. If there is less than a full [2] point difference, the technique does not require the difference for that to be paid. )
• Unblocked throwing techniques of this style reduce the target's endurance by [1] point per rank of the technique for the following post.

[Rocket Punches]

▰▰▰ Description:
The Eight Gates are eight specific points on a person's Chakra Pathway System. They limit the overall flow of chakra within a person's body. The basis for the idea of the chakra gates comes from the body's limits on the functions within it. This makes the body much weaker, but it keeps the body from expiring too soon. By opening these gates, the user can surpass their own physical limits at the cost of extreme damage to their own bodies.

The state of having all Eight Gates open is known as "Eight Gates Released Formation" (八門遁甲の陣, Hachimon Tonkō no Jin; English TV "Eight Inner Gates Formation"). Any shinobi who activates this state will temporarily gain powers a hundred times greater than their normal self, but will die because of the damage done to their body. This was seen when Might Guy opened all eight gates and was able to fight on par with and gradually overwhelm Madara Uchiha, much to the latter's excitement. Due to the immense amount of chakra flooding the body all at once, drastic changes can occur upon the user's body. The most common of these changes are the changes to skin color, an eruption of veins around the temples, and the eyes turning completely white. The green aura surrounding the user could be easily mistaken as chakra as in Kisame's case when fighting Guy. Guy corrected this misconception explaining that the green substance surrounding him is his sweat evaporating at a rapid rate, due to the intense rise in body temperature of the user.

▰▰▰ Notes:
• This style cannot be learned unless the user is a taijutsu class specialist. (Taijutsu primary and secondary class)
• Taijutsu used during the gates only consumes stamina, but are treated as complex (for damage calculations) against other techniques.
• Training in this style takes five [5] paragraphs, for each Gate. This amount cannot be reduced.
• If the first hit in a technique is not properly defended, the rest will continue unabated.
• For each gate active, the user receives an increase of 0.5 to their stats cap. At the eighth gate, the user gains an additional 4 cap increase. This means that if you have 8 in every stat then on the eighth gate then you can reach 12 which is a 6 ranks increase in total. The stats increases will return to 8 once the gates are no longer active.
• The user may exchange the technique that accompanies each gate with a custom technique for no cost to their custom points. These customs must have the same limitation on gate usage as the technique they are replacing.

▰▰▰ Restrictions:
• Each Gate, upon being opened, lasts a total of three of the user's posts.
• Once the effects of each Gate wear off, you have a maximum of one [1] post to open another, for Gate five [5] and below. Know that in the post that follows, you are required to follow the General After Usage Chart.
• Users can open up to the third gate at D-Rank, the fifth and sixth at C-Rank, the seventh at B rank, and the eighth at A rank.
• Opening a gate does not require an activation unless mentioned within the specific gate's description.
• In physical transformations from the 6th gate and above, the user's body is subject to extreme stress fractures from physical C and B Ranked techniques. A rank physical techniques and above can cause nerve damage and various other serious wounds up to shattering bones due to the stress the body is put under.
• These are the stat limits depending on which gate has been opened:
First Gate - 10 in one stat.
Second Gate - 10 in two stats.
Third Gate - 10 in three stats.
Fourth Gate - 10 in four stats.
Fifth Gate - 12 in one stat.
Sixth Gate - 12 in two stats.
Seventh Gate - 12 in three stats.
Eighth Gate - 12 in four stats.

First Gate of Opening

Null Rank | Simple
Located in the brain, this removes the restraints of the brain on the muscles so 100% of the user's strength can be used whereas normally, a person can only use 20% of their muscles' strength to keep them from disintegrating. Unlocking this gate allows the user to use the Front Lotus. Speed and reaction time are now double what they normally are, increasing one's abilities to the next highest rank or title. Strength is now five times one's own normal; Raises physical strength to just over two ranks higher.

Once the user has trained to access the first gate, they may begin training in the first "move" within the Eight Celestial Gates formation. The effects of the first gate itself are not all that extreme in that they provide the user with a 1 point increase to their strength, speed, and agility. Once the effects of the first gate wear off the user experiences moderate pain from hyperactivation of the sympathetic nervous system. Requires 1 activation to use.

Second Gate of Healing

Null Rank | Simple
Located in the brain, this forcibly increases the user's physical strength and temporarily re-energizes the body. Raises stamina and assists in recovery after being weakened. This does not heal major wounds such as stab wounds or slashes. It will however restore the user's muscles to their original condition and restore one quarter of the users total chakra and stamina used.(rounded up to the nearest whole number) Raises strength another 20%; Total physical strength is now three ranks higher. Speed and reaction times are unchanged.

By forcing the users chakra into the brain and overloading the seals the user can activate the second gate. While the effects of this gate itself are, again, not that strong in and of themselves. The effects do stack with the previous gate and the true might of the gates starts to be shown. Once the gate has been activated, the gates create a sort of awakening effect within the users chakra system forcing it to cultivate chakra at a much higher rate then normal. This results in the user's being granted one quarter, rounded down, of their maximum chakra and stamina as a refund. In addition to this, the user gains another 1 point increase to their strength speed and agility. This increase stacks with the previous gates' increases.

Third Gate of Life

Null Rank | Simple
Located on the spinal cord, this allows the user to use the Reverse Lotus. The increased blood flow turns the skin red. Capable of deflecting C-rank ninjutsu with the same or less chakra.

By forcing the users chakra into the upper spine and overloading the seals the user can activate the Third gate. While the effects of this gate itself are, again, not that strong in and of themselves. The effects do stack with the previous gate. By manipulating the nerves which control heart rate and blood flow, the user will force excessive amounts of blood through the body. This results in the users skin taking on a red hue. In addition to this the hyper cultivation of chakra from the previous gate now results in a visible and thick spiraling aura of chakra around the user. This chakra can protect the user from incoming ninjutsu up to C-Rank. However, the cost of doing so is automatically deducted from the users chakra pool and consumes a single activation to unlock. Again as before the user gains another 1 point increase to their strength speed and agility. This increase stacks with the previous gates' increases. Once the user opens this gate they will immediately notice the backlash it has upon their body. This includes muscle stiffening, micro-tearing of muscles and tendons, and mild overheating.

Fourth Gate of Pain

Null Rank | Simple
Located on the spinal cord, this increases the user's speed and power. May cause muscle tissue to tear on use. Further increases speed and reaction time to a total of just over 2 ranks higher now, and usage will begin to tear the body's muscles. Pure physical strength is raised to a total of just over 3 ranks higher.

By forcing the user's chakra into the central portion of the spinal column and overloading the seals the user can activate the fourth gate. While the effects of this gate itself are, again, not that strong in and of themselves. The effects do stack with the previous gate. With the user's chakra now coursing through their body, resulting in a 1 point increase to their strength speed and agility. This increase stacks with the previous gates' increases. Once the user opens this gate they will immediately notice the backlash it has upon their body. This is when the gates start to seriously degrade the user's body. The moment they move the muscles used in the movement begin to tear and rip themselves apart. It should be noted that this pain is extreme even for the most hardened of shinobi.

Fifth Gate of Limit

Null Rank | Simple
Located in the abdomen, this increases the user's speed and power. Further increases speed and reaction time to a total of 3 ranks higher now, and usage will tear the body's muscles. Pure physical strength is raised to a total of 4 ranks higher. At this point, it is hard for anyone of B or below body rank to even see you let alone counter you. By forcing the user's chakra into the central portion of the abdomen and overloading the seals the user can activate the fifth gate. While the effects of this gate itself are, again, not that strong in and of themselves. The effects do stack with the previous gate. With the user's chakra now coursing through their body, resulting in a 1 point increase to their strength speed and agility. This increase stacks with the previous gates' increases. Once the user opens this gate they will immediately notice the backlash it has upon their body. This is when the gates start to seriously degrade the user's body. The moment they move the muscles used in the movement tear and rip themselves apart. It should be noted that this pain is extreme even for the most hardened of shinobi.

Sixth Gate of View

Null Rank | Simple
Located in the stomach, this increases the user's speed and power. Opening of this gate releases such enormous amounts of energy that it can cause nearby water bodies to form a vortex around the user. Once opened, capable users can perform the Morning Peacock (Asakujaku). Further increases speed and reaction time to a total of just over 3 ranks higher now, and usage will tear the body's muscles as well as break limbs. Pure physical strength is raised to a total of just over 4 ranks higher. Capable of deflecting a B-rank ninjutsu with the same or less chakra.

By forcing the users chakra into the stomach, where they cultivate chakra in the first place, and overloading the seals the user can activate the sixth gate. While the effects of this gate itself are, again, not that strong in and of themselves. The effects do stack with the previous gate. As with the third gate, opening the sixth gate unleashes a massive torrent of chakra from the body. This torrent radiates outwards away from the user in an overlapping double helix pattern. This chakra can protect the user from incoming ninjutsu up to B-Rank. However, the cost of doing so is automatically deducted from the user's chakra pool and consumes a single activation in the process. Again as before the user gains another 1 point increase to their strength speed and agility. This increase stacks with the previous gates' increases. Once the user opens this gate they will immediately notice the backlash it has upon their body. Any physical maneuver, ie any offensive or defensive taijutsu or bukijutsu attack, results in limb breakage & muscle tearing, and major overheating. As you can imagine the pain from something like this if not deadened via painkillers is excruciating and almost debilitating.

Seventh Gate of Wonder

Null Rank | Simple
Located below the stomach, this further increases the user's speed and power. Only after this gate is activated, can a capable user perform the Daytime Tiger (Hirutora). Those who open this gate will secrete glowing green — blue in the anime — sweat from every inch of their body which immediately evaporates from their own heat energy, creating an aura which people mistake as a chakra coating. Unfortunately, the side effects of opening the gate are that the user's muscle fibers are ripped to shreds, causing intense pain if anything or anyone touches them. Further increases speed and reaction time to a total of 4 ranks higher now, and usage will tear the body's muscles as well as break limbs. Pure physical strength is raised to a total of 5 ranks higher.

By forcing the user's chakra into the lower abdomen, and overloading the seals the user can activate the seventh gate. While the effects of this gate itself are, again, not that strong in and of themselves. The effects do stack with the previous gate. Due to the extreme amount of blood and chakra flowing through the body, the user's temperature soars causing them to sweat profusely. However, this sweat is not normal in that its mixed with their chakra. Once it is secreted through the pores, it is instantly evaporated causing a green tinge to the chakra that has previously been surrounding the user. These effects, as before grant the user another 1 point increase to their strength speed and agility. This increase stacks with the previous gates' increases. Once the user opens this gate they will immediately notice the backlash it has upon their body. Any physical maneuver, ie any offensive or defensive taijutsu or bukijutsu attack, results in Intense sweating due to extreme overheating. Any maneuver that lands a physical blow results in the complete shattering of the entire skeletal structure of the limb that landed the blow.

Eighth Gate of Death

Null Rank | Simple
Located at the heart, this will cause the user's blood to emanate a flaming aura of red steam from all pores of their body, hair, and eyebrows. Releasing this gate uses up all of the body's energy while making the heart pump at maximum power. Exceeding the power of every other gate, the user is granted approximately a hundred times their normal power, far beyond that of the five Kage, but comes at the expense of their life once the technique ends. Once activated, those who are capable can perform the Evening Elephant and the Night Guy. For each post that the user remains in this state, their body burns to ash from within, reducing their maximum stat cap by 1 point in base form for each stat should they live through this transformation. The eighth gate cannot be closed of the user's own accord. Repairing one who has suffered damage of the eight gates requires five paragraphs depicting the repairing of their body through medical treatment, requiring 30,000 ryo to cover the cost of surgery per stat point lost. Additionally, if the user remains in this transformed state for it's full duration death of the user occurs as they burn to ash.

Eight Gates Techniques

▰ Front Lotus | Rank B | Complex
The user vanishes from sight while standing before their target up to thirty feet away. They then appear directly below the target, supporting their weight with their hands as they deliver a kick to the opponent's torso or chin. This singular strike carries the force to fracture bone while throwing them thirty feet into the air. If this first strike is unevaded, the remainder of the technique is guaranteed to hit. The user vanishes once again, appearing above the opponent and gripping them in a bear hug, rotating rapidly causing the pair to look like a twister as they descend. At the last moment, the user releases the target as they collide with the ground, allowing the user to land without harming themselves. The user must be within the first gate minimum to use this technique.

▰ One Man Lotus | Rank B | Complex
The user descends from the above the target, spinning rapidly as in the front lotus technique. As the fall they appear like a twister, devastating an opponent on contact, breaking bones with ease and forming a crater thirty feet in width upon landing. The user must be within the second gate minimum to use this technique.

▰ Reverse Lotus | Rank A | Complex
Just as in the Opening Lotus, the user vanishes from sight while before the target within thirty feet. They appear below the target, supporting their weight upon their hands as they deliver a powerful kick, launching them into the air with enough force to break bones. If this is unevaded, the remainder of the attack will be successful. The opponent is thrown into the air as they are blown away by a series of strikes where the user hits the target, throwing them the opposite direction only to reappear before their path and knock them another direction. This occurs six times before the opponent is knocked downward. Upon being knocked to the earth, the user delivers a final devastating blow, just before reaching the ground which shatters bone and creates a crater forty feet in width. The user must be within the third gate at a minimum to execute this technique.

▰ Morning Peacock | Rank A
The user delivers a kick that is unrivaled in power to send the opponent flying fifty feet into the air. If this kick is not evaded, the remainder of the technique continues successfully. The user proceeds, vanishing from the ground an appearing roughly fifteen feet from the target in the air. The user then proceeds to deliver ten punches at incredible strength and speed which ignite the air with their friction despite their simple nature. The air pressure produced in the direction of the target that has ignited creates ten flaming fireball-like projectiles that crush the target with each impact, assuring bones to be shattered. From afar, the technique is said to look like the tail of a peacock, giving it the trademarked name. In a finale of the attack, the user vanishes once more, delivering an ax kick that sends the target flying into the earth. The user must be within the fourth gate at a minimum to execute this technique.

▰ Strong Thunder Lotus Chain | Rank S
The user delivers a lethal strike to the opponent that throws them fifty feet into the air. The impact of the strike creates a shockwave an equal distance around the user that blows back incoming ninjutsu and opponents of it's rank and lower unless stamina is paid equal to the blast. Should the opponent knocked into the air not evade the attack, the remainder of the attack is guaranteed to hit. The user vanishes, flying above the target as they chain a total of three taijutsu techniques of B Rank and lower together for no additional activation that devastates the target before sending them flying back down to the earth with a mighty right hook. This technique requires the fifth gate at a minimum to execute.

▰ Daytime Tiger | Rank S
The user places a palm facing forward in front of their face with one hand and then taps it with his other hand, formed into a fist, which creates a massive amount of air pressure. Next, the user forms a unique hand seal resembling a tiger, which launches the air pressure at the opponent in the shape of a tiger, by leaving a gigantic tiger-shaped impression into the initially built-up air pressure with the hand seal. The air pressure will condense as it's moving and be focused on a single point. The technique then explodes on command, releasing the built up air pressure in an instant. The impact of this technique covers a fifty-foot radius and sends a monstrous concussive wave of force through the area, acting with hurricane like forces to blow everything at and below its rank away. The sheer force of the attack, when impacted directly, is enough to shatter bone throughout a person's entire body, even if wearing armor. Requires the user be in the sixth gate minimally to use this technique.

▰ Evening Elephant | Rank S
The user strikes the target, hurling them into the air while shattering bone at the point of impact and causing internal hemorrhaging. If this attack goes unevaded, the remainder of the strikes will be successful. As the target flies through the air, the user appears several feet from them and proceeds to deliver a single punch. The sheer force of this strike creates a beam of compressed air that measures roughly ten feet in width. The user then vanishes, appearing at various angles a total of five times to deliver a beam of compressed air like the first. After each is executed, they remain in place, seemingly holding the target in position as they are crushed from all angles by the attack. Those impacted by the attack lose all stat increases to endurance while having all their bones crushed under the weight of the attack. It is impossible for those who are hit with its full force to continue combat. This requires the user to be in the seventh gate minimally to execute the technique.

▰ Night Guy | Rank S+
The pinnacle of the eight gate's techniques and the strongest of it's given move set. Night Guy, when performed causes the user's body to form a hellish red aura as their body is burned away, their hair appearing to ignite as their body is put under immeasurable strain. This transformation may last as long as the gates duration sustains itself. When the user moves while Night Guy is active the space around them distorts, increasing their movements with a 8 point stat increase. Due to the space distortion, the user is able to bypass barriers and defenses below the rank and potency of this technique. Each physical impact while in this transformative state shatters the bones of the user while ensuring the same occurs to each target stricken by their attacks. When the technique ends with the gate transformation, the user's body begins to crumble away as it burns from the inside out. This technique requires the eighth gate be in use.

 

[Rocket Punches]

▰▰▰ Description:
Drunken Fist is a unique style of combat where "the more you drink, the drunker you get, and the stronger you become". It cannot be learned, taught, nor refined through training and practice, but rather the aspiring practitioner must learn it by executing the techniques while drunk. Drunken Fist fighters are not simply drunk: they become human powerhouses who'll strike unpredictably with an explosive fury and without any second thoughts about their actions. Once drunk, the user will lose their ability to know friend from foe and attack whoever is in their vicinity.

▰▰▰ Notes:
• Practitioners train by training while drunk, typically sparring. The number of times a technique must be used before it can be put on the profile is the number of posts one would normally have to write to learn it, to a minimum of one.
• Practitioners need a container for their alcohol. It can be anything, from a gourd, flask, wine skin, or what have you. They must keep it on them at all times.
• Any benefits gained from the Mental Basic Combat are nullified after getting drunk. Additionally one cannot use Ninjutsu or Genjutsu whilst intoxicated.
• While drunk, all unnamed attacks that would typically fall under basic combat are usable (even if the user has not trained in either of those) up to and have the strength and cost of their maximum learned rank in this Style.
• Simple techniques in this Style are treated as Complex when interacting with other techniques.
• All variable rank techniques can be used up to one rank above any of the user’s basic combat.

Stage One

▰ Ever Thirsting Stance | Training | Stance
The Drunken Fist is broken into six stances often interchanging with one another to create greater moments of confusion these stances are known among practitioners as the Stances of Six Drunken Gods. The Ever Thirsting stance is one typically seen in drunken fist media. It prioritizes the main tenants of the drunken fist which is stumbling and coiling and balances them equally. Two hands up loose with two fingers in the shape of a C as if holding a shot glass. Forward with one leg bent in front while the user typically seems to appear to have difficulty standing. Entering the Ever Thirsting Stance takes an activation and after need not be sustained. The stance treats all the oncoming 'physical' attacks as simple and the evasions of techniques are mixed and mingled with falling down, rolling, and standing up again. When one falls down to evade when they rise again they can korabo any other technique in this style upon rising again.

▰ Double Tapping | Rank X | Simple
The user swings whatever they can reach in a quick one-two combo or a rapid unexpected two back palmed strike typically to the gut. This is treated as two separate attacks with the rank divided by two per strike. Gain a [1] point increase to [Strength] per rank when using an improvised weapon or [1] point increase to [Speed] when using one's hands alone.

▰ Empty Glass | Rank X | Simple
The user attempts to take a swig of a non-exsistant shot. For the purpose of dodging projectile ninjutsu and other projectiles within reason, this technique is treated as Spiritual.

▰ Kegging | Training | Spiritual
The user learns or rather...is lucked with the ability to send chakra to their fists and limbs despite their drunken state. It is known as kegging for the chakra in these limbs is stored as alcohol would be in a keg. Any technique may be treated as Spiritual so long as pure chakra was spent for the technique. These techniques would then not benefit from stats in any way shape or form.

Stage Two

▰ Sudden Waist Stance | Training | Stance
The Drunken Fist is broken into six stances often interchanging with one another to create greater moments of confusion these stances are known among practitioners as the Stances of Six Drunken Gods. Momentum and deception is the core of the Drunken Fist this stance accentuates both but it is also the most tiring of stances as there is no rest period. This stance capitalizes on whipping the body in loose and limber circles and angles with a heavy concentration on the waist. When using techniques in this stance the cost of techniques increases by 1.5x but are treated as {Overwhelming} and having a {1} point increase in [Strength].

▰ Hard Spirits | Rank X | Complex
The user drunkenly sends Chakra to their head, then headbutts the opponent. The Chakra prevents damage to the user as a result of this technique and increases the force behind it significantly, but also makes the user dizzy for a post afterward. The dizziness increases [Agility] by [1] point per rank of the technique when it comes to evasions using fumbling and flailing but reduces [Speed] an equal amount until the dizziness fades. If the opponent was preparing a Ninjutsu the impact causes them to lose it.

▰ Onslaught of Flailing Kicks | Rank X | Complex
A kick or series of kicks that the user launches unpredictably toward any part of the opponent’s body. Up to one kick per rank can be launched, each kick decreasing in strength linearly but if one hitting the rest follow suit due to the unpredictability of the style. I.e
A-rank reproduces 5 wild Kicks. The First is A, The Second is B, The Third is C.

▰ Stumbling | Rank X | Simple
The user loses balance and stumbles out of the path of an incoming attack, then either falls to the ground or rights themselves. Righting oneself consumes an extra activation, but falling down makes the user stay on the ground for the rest of the post. Higher ranks allow for more elaborate trip-ups. The user is not protected from any damage their stumbling may cause them, and any damage accidentally caused to their surroundings or indirectly to the opponent is at this technique's rank.

Stage Three

▰ Drying Throat Stance | Training | Stance
The Drunken Fist is broken into six stances often interchanging with one another to create greater moments of confusion these stances are known among practitioners as the Stances of Six Drunken Gods. The Drying Throat Stance a.k.a the Powerful Throat Stance is one that relies on grappling. It also revolves around having strong fingers. The Drying Throat Stance is most known for its powerful full body weight drops and impossibly strong chokeholds and grabs. While at the end of any string of techniques in this stance. The technique may end in an auto-grapple following the auto-grappling rules in order to break free. While remaining in this stance after the grapple, if it is not broken, the next attack involving the grapple does not consume an activation to do. The stance additionally increases {Endurance} by a {1} point amount, and solely the strength of one's hands for the purpose of grappling by a {1} point amount.

▰ Onslaught of Flailing Wrist | Rank X | Simple
A strike or series of strikes that the user launches unpredictably toward any part of the opponent’s body. Up to one strike per rank can be launched, each strike decreasing in strength linearly every [2] but if one hitting the rest follow suit due to the unpredictability of the style. Follows a progression as though it were already a rank weaker initially I.e
A-rank reproduces 5 wild strikes. The First is B, The Second is B, The Third is C, the Fourth is C.

▰ Absentmindedness | Rank X | Spiritual
When using this technique the user's chakra floods into their head and sort of...well..causes it to fry. The user does not know their own strength, they will also typically seem to act confused. Or utterly misplaced in terms of mind and body. The users stat becomes [0] in all four categories, however...the enemies stat also is treated as [0] when it comes to attempting to land attacks on the Absentminded drunk as they seem to miraculously gain the ability to dodge from pure goofiness and dumb luck. The user may continue to use evasive or defensive type techniques while in this state of mind, however, if they end up receiving any form of damage they snap out of the stupor. Inadvertently contrary to popular belief they are actually highly susceptible to genjutsu in this state. Lasts [1] post per rank of chakra spent.

▰ Tripping | Rank X | Simple
Tripping is often the follow up to stumbling when falling on the ground. The user will either reel back and launch both their legs forward for devastating damage, perform sweeping kicks, or spring back up in a weak but recovering attack. The sweeping kicks will guarantee the opponent falls if it lands.
•Sweeping: Causes the opponent to trip making it required they spend an activation to stand.
•Reeling: Reels back the legs and launches a significantly damaging strike treated to have a [1] point increase in [Strength] per Rank of the technique. The user remains on the ground in this case.
•Springing: Builds momentum in the lower legs to rise inflicting a fast but weak strike and returning the user to an upright position...well as upright as a drunken fist user can get. [1] point increase to [Speed] per rank of the technique but a [1] point reduction to [Strength] per rank.

Stage Four

▰ Crippled Leg & Double Kick Stance | Training | Stance
The Drunken Fist is broken into six stances often interchanging with one another to create greater moments of confusion these stances are known among practitioners as the Stances of Six Drunken Gods. The Crippled Leg Stance is a very risky but rewarding stance. The users [Speed], and [Agility] are both reduced by [1/2]. The stance requires one constantly have one leg risen off the ground and the other leg straight. It is filled with openings but deception has always been the key to the Drunken Fist. [Stumbling] no longer takes an activation in order to rise again or re-adjust, [Stumbling] also does not injure the user when used into a fall, when having Stumbled and fallen to the ground following up a with [Tripping] does not consume an activation but it will require the user to spend an activation to stand again assuming they are still on the ground. In instances where they Stand again the Crippled Leg Stance is re-entered. HOWEVER! There is a second key component to this stance. That is by forsaking the benefits of Crippled Leg Stance beginning to hop on one leg it essentially becomes the opposite. [Speed] and [Agility] increase by [1] point and the [Strength] of kicks is increased by [1] point. For you see the crippled leg stance is but a mere ploy to have the enemy believe the user is on the defensive only to enhance the power of one's kicks when they do go on the offensive. The user may also execute an additional kick at no cost of activation between the transitions of the Crippled Leg and Double Kick. Typical Progression
Crippled Leg > Tripping{Into Recovery} > Assumed Crippled Leg{a.k.a Double Kick} > {One Free Kick} + {Additional Kick} > May Switch back to Crippled Leg or Remain in Double Kick

▰ Alocoholic Exhale | Rank B | Complex
After a swig of the old gourd a red cheeked mixture of chakra occurs. The effects of the exhaled result are solely dependent on the user's natures and will have a single varying effect decided ahead of time but often randomly.
• Katon: The Exhale releases a plume of flames forward shortly after emitting the foul stenched exhale that could only be compared to waste and gasoline.
• Suiton: The Alcohol rather than swallowed is emitted in full drenching a target. Said target is then susceptible to fire techniques wherein being struck by Katon is treated as one rank higher and the target combusts.
• Fuuton: The Exhale is more of an explosive belch that causes anyone unanchored to be lifted off the ground in a wide radius.
• Doton: The Exhale is putrid and foul if not bile like, the stench induces nausea, sickness, and heaving. The symptoms escalating with each additional post of exposure.
• Raiton: Similiar to Fuuton in that it is more of a belch but thundering is loudness which can cause temporary deafness and ringing ears while also destroying any accumulated concentrations.

▰ Shinobi Bon Dance | Rank B | Simple
The user starts this technique typically with horrid dancing or singing, or raving. At any point, after these actions have started, the user can 'accidentally' include any other Taijutsu or Bukijutsu attacks he or she knows and can execute them at half the normal cost, though techniques outside this Style that are not Basic Combat Suffer a Rank Reduction. Consumes two activations on the post it starts and is sustained by a C-rank amount of stamina thereafter. The user cannot enter stances unless first ending the Shinobi Bon Dance. The users Third Activation may be Offensive.

Stage Five

▰ Piping Flute Stance | Training | Stance
The Drunken Fist is broken into six stances often interchanging with one another to create greater moments of confusion these stances are known among practitioners as the Stances of Six Drunken Gods. The piping flue stance gets its name from after every strike pre-meditated and after the user appears to be imbibing a shot or drink. This is because these acts of stumbling are not solely designed to throw off an opponent but to additionally build up momentum in the wrist discreetly for follow up attacks. When using [Stumbling] to not fall down but rather right oneself a follow-up attack may be made that does not consume an activation. The attack gains an amount of {Strength} and {Speed} equal to a [1] point amount per rank of [Stumbling]. After said strike [Stumbling] must be used again to correct one's posture or risk falling down. Suffice to say if one uses The Piping Flute Stance twice consecutively in attacking again most commonly here they will end up on the floor. The Progression of the Piping Flute Stance is usually as follows
[Stumbling] > [Attack] > [Stumbling] {Posture}
[Stumbling] > [Attack] > [Stumbling] > [Attack] {Fall}
if an extra activation is awarded by some means.
[Stumbling] > [Attack] > [Stumbling] > [Attack] > [Stumbling] {Posture} or [Attack] {Fall}

▰ Ms.Ho's Stance | Training | Stance
The Drunken Fist is broken into six stances often interchanging with one another to create greater moments of confusion these stances are known among practitioners as the Stances of Six Drunken Gods. The stance gets its name by assuming what is typically seen as a dainty weak fragile woman. The users [Strength] and [Endurance] are reduced by [1/2] in this stance. Unusual and awkward feeling to the user and the target alike due to the sounds the drunk makes which make it somewhat uncomfortable to be around. The moves may seem feminine, but they are very graceful, a complete juxtaposition to what the drunken fist user normally does. Since people are often confused or think less of this style, it is more effective than head-on assaults. When using this style a sensory means will determine the strength of the techniques being one-rank lower than they actually are. The grace of the style increases the user's [Speed] and [Agility] by a [1] point amount per rank of the techniques it's used in tandem with.

▰ Wa-TAH! | Rank X | Simple
This technique is an emulation of the ever popular Iron Fist only done so drunkenly. Some might say it's just as effective if not more so. This technique is but a single punch done by placing the two legs firmly in the ground sideways like a person ready to Sumo. While not even facing the opponent the punch is thrown with immense force, this technique ignores an opponent's Endurance stat entirely should it land and is capable of destroying armors both chakra and otherwise equal to its rank. This technique, however, must be done last in any chain of attacks and the user must end their post in this sumo like position, that or fall down completely. The technique gets its name from what's typically said upon connecting.

Stage Six

▰ Happy Hour | Rank S | Spiritual
By concentrating their chakra in a drunken state usually with the desire to 'spread the fun' the use produces and intoxicating aura of chakra. Those exposed to the intoxicating aura will then start becoming intoxicated themselves closing off their access to Ninjutsu and Genjutsu as molding the chakra is difficult to do under the influence {Oni excluded}. This occurs once being under the effects of the Aura for a full three [3] posts. If being exposed to the Aura for a full six [6] posts {8} for Oni the targets under its influence fall into an unconscious stupor. Self-inflicted injury slows this effect reducing the intoxicating effects by [1] and receiving a blow of B-rank or higher will also lessen it by [1]. Lasts for three posts, but can be maintained after that for a B-Rank cost per post.

▰ Drunken Frenzy | Rank S+ | Simple | Stance
Does not impart a cost. After imbibing a significant amount of alcohol the user enters a frenzied drunken state. The Drunken Frenzy is not a reliable technique because this 'drunken frenzy' that the alcohol induces does not hold for prolonged periods of time; the user is often easily awakened from Drunken Frenzy with a simple scratch from anything which draws blood, sobering up almost immediately. However, while not reliable it is incredibly powerful. The Drunken Frenzy allows the user to utilize other taijutsu techniques just as efficiently if not more so in the drunken state. The users {Speed}, {Agility}, {Endurance}, and {Strength} are all increased by [1] point. They also gain an additional offensive action. When exiting the drunken frenzy the user is often left incredibly confused, they are unable to enter the drunken frenzy again for the rest of combat, and the increases provided by the style are lost. Suffice to say one should use the Drunken Frenzy carefully as becoming sober could literally mean your inevitable death.

▰ Mastery of the Six Drunken Gods | Training
The stances in this style no longer require an activation to switch between. Instead one may pay an amount of stamina equal to the rank of the stance to transition from one stance to another even in mid-attack. This can completely throw opponents out for a loop and is the peak of all drunken fist users mastery. This, however, does not allow a user to re-enter Drunken Frenzy after it's ended but CAN, however, save one from sobering after receiving a hit that would have otherwise ended it. However, one will find doing so constantly will be particularly exhausting.

▰▰▰ Description:
The Mirror Image Art was created by an Uchiha who seamlessly melded Taijutsu and Genjutsu into his arsenal. The art revolves around creating chakra based images that follow or come before physical actions that mislead the opponent on the user's real position. In it's more advanced stages, these chakra images of the user are made tangible, dealing damage and multiplying the lethal potential of the user's actions. Because of their pure chakra composition, the after-image-clones cannot be destroyed; rather, they fade after the allotted action has been performed, successful or not. Additionally, there are two types of after-images: solid and intangible. As this suggests, only the solid ones can interact with anything, and the intangible ones will just phase through anything in their way.

▰▰▰ Notes:
• Genjutsu Class Ninja can add a single sense to the illusory images produced by this style, treating them as instance genjutsu.
• After-images repeat the user’s actions exactly as they occurred without variation unless otherwise specified. Techniques outside of Taijutsu or Bukijutsu cannot be used in conjunction with this style unless stated otherwise.
• Attacks by after-images do not affect the user.
