Thanks to selective breeding, the Outcast marrying himself to a woman with a similarly developed SMA, and doing the same with his children with suitors with the same brain development or instincts, members of the Momobashi clan have what can be considered a super humanly developed Supplementary Motor Area and a very strong instinct toward efficient movement and body acceleration. As such, they can perform any action, task, move or attack with their body moving as a whole, their SMA and instincts making this possible. Normally, when moving, one body part, such as the foot, moves first and the rest of the body follows. With this efficiency, when one body part acts, instead of following, the whole body moves as well at the same time, making the body move more in unison and less sluggish. This can even happen when the body changes its motion, thus allowing for great movements or accelerations to be made with very little force and effort. With these, the user is capable of not only super humanly efficient movement and body acceleration, along with being able to utilize more internal force, but a Hiden where their physical movements become unnaturally soft and gentle on command. Though it does not sound necessarily threatening nor a worthwhile ability, the fact is that there are effective applications to this ability. As the user’s movements have become amazingly gentle, they effectively become noiseless, not generating a single sound when moving, even when walking along a sensitive and noisy floor, their gentle steps simply not causing a bit of disturbance that would create a noise, as though they were floating along the surface. With these soundlessly gentle movements, the user is able to sneak about without being detected, allowing them to reap the benefits of such stealth as even their presence and chakra seems to be too gentle to notice. To add more testament to their soft movements, not even the likes of thin ice or other brittle materials seems to register their physical contact when the intent is to not disturb it, in some cases, even living things seem to fail to realize the user has made physical contact with them, even when the intent is to deal damage. Interestingly enough, where this ability may lack in power and external force, it makes up in efficiency and internal force. Indeed, it is thanks to this force brought about by efficient internal energy that even a soft punch by the user not only has enough internal force to be considered a knockout blow, but efficient body movement and acceleration also allows the user to attack swiftly, their movements requiring less time to reach their mark thanks to the instinctual efficient movements. In fact, thanks to the gentle movements, more often than not an opponent will fail to realize they have even been hit by the user, their body only registering the internal force and pain brought about by it, causing confusion on how they received damage. It’d be somewhat accurate to call the user a living feather when the Hiden is in use, yet at the same time it is not accurate, the user does not become weightless or can suddenly float, their bodily movements are simply unnaturally soft and gentle, there is still weight behind their attacks and movements, but it is simply the degree of gentleness of their movements that make it appear as though they may be weightless. However it is because of this supernatural gentleness that the user is nearly incapable of generating enough external energy that could be considered advantageous in most situations, such moves as grapples and submissions holds as well prove to be ineffective, forcing the user to rely on strikes and counters that utilize either their internal energy, or the own opponent's against themselves, in the form of counters.
The main style that is often employed with this however features explosive, short-range power that focuses on delivering powerful strikes while moving agilely with their gently efficient movements. By disciplining himself and learning how to redirecting his strength in a more positive way, the founder of the clan learned a more efficient way to enforce his weight behind attacks without sacrificing agility and maneuverability, actually finding ways to add unto them by incorporating a style of footwork for him to navigate with, rather than simply moving around blindly at random. The style encompasses the majority of one's strength through the palms of their hands and knuckles while also focusing on delivering consecutive attacks come from all parts of the body in order to mount attacks at high, mid, and low levels of the body.
Considering that a Momobashi will apply their efficient body movement and acceleration to speed themselves up, with releasing internal energy from their feet for the burst of extra force, increasing the force and pressure of his blows to add tremendous weight. All techniques are executed with a short power, developed through training. The style focuses on infighting, entering from a longer range with a distinctive charging step. The essence of fighting with Gentle Shade lies in power-issuing methods, particularly explosive power. The style contains six types of jin, eight different ways to hit and several principles of power usage. Most of Gentle Shade's striking techniques utilize a one-hit push-strike method from very close range in order to transfer the bulk of the damage through the momentary acceleration that travels up from his waist and to the limb, further magnified by a charging step.

xx▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ A form of spear fighting created by combining his clan's fighting style, a certain spear style he had learned from a mentor, and the function of his trick spear, Yarishi's personal fighting style incorporates methods from both while getting the best use out of his Flowing Spear. To start with, one of the most interesting and most deadly types of yari is the kuda-yari, or "tube- spear." The kuda-yari is a spear that is used by sliding the shaft (e) through a kuda, a metal tube or pipe. This is the primary spear of the Owari Kan Ryu tradition of sojutsu. The essence of the kuda-yari of Owari Kan Ryu is in the technique of using the kuda to fully thrust out and instantly withdraw the spear with great control. Here, the secret principle, Engetsu, or "Crescent Moon", is a vital component. Normally, when thrusting with a spear, the shaft and point will go more or less in a straight line to the target. However, in thrusting the Kan Ryu kuda-yari, the kuda and shaft are manipulated in a manner that causes the spear point to enter the target while twirling in a circle with a diameter of about six inches. The twirling of the yari point creates an intense striking power and concentrated destructive force, resulting in a gaping wound. This is the secret principle of Engetsu that is behind the deadly effect of Kan Ryu sojutsu. The importance of attaining the Engetsu skill cannot be understated. During a normal training session, the skill of controlling the spear's slide through the kuda to achieve the twirling effect is continuously practiced without rest for ten minutes at a time. This is an exhausting practice considering the length and weight of the pole weapon. One of the main advantages the kuda provides is greater thrusting speed. This is primarily due the decreased friction in sliding through the kuda as versus sliding the wooden shaft through the bare hand. Aside from greater thrusting speed, another advantage with the kuda is extended thrusting range. The more usual method for using the Japanese spear is to thrust with the rear hand locking onto the hip or side of the body at the full extension of the thrust. This allows both great force- transfer in the thrust, and a greater control over the spear shaft in recovering from either a thrust or from a strong block or deflection of one's spear. However, as a result of locking the rear hand on the body, the actual thrusting distance is limited to two-to-three feet. This is because the reach of the spear is limited to the forward movement of the hip. When using the kuda, however, the spearman can safely thrust with the rear hand going all the way up to the lead hand. This can increase the thrusting distance as much as four or five feet further, as the hip is able to travel further without the rear hand locked to it. Because the kuda allows greater speed in thrusting and withdrawing, control of the shaft can be effectively maintained throughout the thrusting range. With this style in mind, Yarishi incorporates the gentle and efficient body movements and acceleration into the style, as well as Gentle Shade's striking methods. Yarishi's skill with the spear is said to be rather sophisticated when compared to other more "traditional" forms of sōjutsu, Yarishi effectively merging multiple seemingly separate fighting styles into one. Thanks to the Flowing Spear being a multi-sectioned spear, the length of his weapon grants him the ability to attack from afar when compared to other non-projectile weapons while often simultaneously swiftly closing the distance between himself and his target thanks to the length of his weapon and his speed; for a defensive maneuver, Yarishi is capable of spinning the Flowing Spear around in order to deflect all sorts of projectiles. As the style requires knowing the ins and outs of his weapon's strengths and limitations, Yarishi is capable of making the best usage of its attributes in the fields of war in order to keep a near-constant advantage when fighting, closing in on his enemy with bursts of speed granted by his efficient movements and body acceleration, and then putting a fair amount of space between them while his opponent can't take the same advantages, effectively leaving them slightly helpless in the face of his polearm; thanks to his complete knowledge of how the Flowing Spear functions in any and every situation, Yarishi defies the notion that charging in close with a lengthy weapon is dangerous while keeping the natural length advantage of a spear over a sword. With the Flowing Spear, the Kan Ryu Style, and Gentle Shade, Yarishi focuses on being aggressive yet gentle, fast-paced and efficient against single opponents, characterized by footwork, spear thrusts and swings, and hand-to-hand, both for attack and defense, with Yarishi unleashing fast, powerful strikes from multiple directions; he is capable of using his speed and efficient movements for precise attacks. He prefers to wield his Flowing Spear with his left hand, leaving the other hand free when not incorporating the Engetsu thrusts or his Flowing Spear's trick function, using it for punches and palm strikes from which he will release internal energy. What should be noted is that Yarishi is ambidextrous, meaning that he can effectively utilize either of his hands which are gripping his spear predominantly and still retain a similar level of strength and ability. Often times, he will utilize Gentle Shade to send his internal energy and explosive power through his Flowing Spear just as he is about to thrust the spear point into the target or swing the pole into them, transferring it through the polearm and into the target in order to amplify the damage and add internal damage on top of the external. Further more, whenever he needs to strike a target when they're out of range or his spear needs to attack his opponent from a different angle, Yarishi will often uncouple the sections of the Flowing Spear in order to do, making it suddenly extend or maneuver in a sudden way to reach the target. By utilizing the thrusting method of the Kan Ryu, Yarishi can extend the reach even further by two or three feet more. He as well can utilize the Flowing Spear like a whip simply by swinging it by its bottom section, flailing and lashing at the target with the pole, or lacerating them with the spear head. It should also be noted that the trick function can even allow Yarishi to defeat the weakness of someone closing in on a spear wielder, simply by uncoupling the sections and manipulating the Flowing Spear to enter the opponent's range, or by grabbing the section which the spear head rests on, using the multi-sectioned polearm like a kusarigama or a dagger. xx▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Requirements ■ Soujutsu Specialist
Type ■ Bukijutsu
Strengths ■ Culmination of two different fighting styles
■ Further reach than most spear styles
■ High Paced and Aggressive
Weakness ■ Significantly weakened if the Kuda is removed or lost
■ Overuse of more advanced applications utilizing the Gentle Shade portion can cause the muscles and joints to be strained
■ Though it can be used with any spear, the style is weakened if it is not with one like the Flowing Spear and its trick function.
