•Yanagi no Mai - Dance of the Willows
Rank D
Yanagi no Mai is a form of Taijutsu developed by Kaguya Kimimaro to take advantange of his cursed seal and bloodline ability, but it can be used with or without the curse seal. It is the first of five dance forms. Utilizing their ability to manipulate bone structure, the user grows and extends a forearm bone through the palm of their hand. The spike is then thrust at the target while the user spins around in their dance.
•Teshi Sendan - Ten Finger Drilling Bullets
Rank C
Teshi Sendan is a Taijutsu technique that was created by the Sound ninja Kimimaro. Using their bloodline ability's unique Shikotsu Myaku (Corpse Bone Pathways), the user fires the distal phalange bones, or the bones at the tips of their fingers, like bullets. As the bones fly through the air, they begin to rotate which allows them to drill into their target once they make contact.
•Tsubaki no Mai - Dance of the Camellia
Rank C
Tsubaki no Mai is a form of Taijutsu developed by Kimimaro to take advantange of his cursed seal and bloodline ability, though it can be performed without a cursed seal. It is the second of five dance forms. Using their ability to manipulate bone structure, the user removes a long bone in the form of a sword from their shoulder. Because of the bloodline, the density of the bone can be increased many times so that it is as hard as steel. Using fluid and precise movements, but moving so quickly that they seem out of control, the user will slash at anyone nearby.
Bloodline Jutsu:
•Karamatsu no Mai - Dance of the Larch
Rank B
Karamatsu no Mai is a form of Taijutsu developed by Kimimaro to take advantange of his bloodline ability, though it is best put use when the user also possesses a curse seal. It is the third of five dance forms. The user begins by extending multiple bones from their body, if they have curse seal they activate the first stage before doing this for maximum effect. The bones that extend during this technique are the rib cage, radius, and ulna. Because the Kaguya bones are hard as steel, they can act as a strong defensive mechanism against incoming strikes and an offensive weapon that can easily impale an opponent.
•Sawarabi no Mai - Dance of the Young Ferns
Rank A
Sawarabi no Mai is the fifth of five dance forms. The user quickly grows a multitude of tall spikes from his body to create a large forest of bone, if the user has a curse mark they activate up to stage two. While in this form the user can merge into the bone trees to attack their target from whichever spike they want.
•Tessenka no Mai - Dance of the Clematis (two stages using different bones), Flower and Vine.
Rank S
Tessenka no Mai • Hana - Dance of the Clematis • Flower
During this dance the user forms a large flowering bone spear which he can use to pierce any shield his opponent raises. The spear is said to be nearly indestructible, however, since the creator Kimimaro was in such poor health when he actually used it that this statement could not be truly confirmed.
•Tessenka no Mai - Tsuru | Dance of the Clematis - Vine
This is quite possibly one of the most disturbing techniques ever created in the shinobi world. The user activates their bloodline and literally pulls the spine from their back, slumping momentarily as it regrows. The bone the user just pulled from their body extends and can wrap around an opponent, making it simple for the razor sharp edges to rip a target to shreds.
