NINJUTSU - NONTON a c a d e m y Kawarimi No Jutsu (Body Switch Technique) Description: A common jutsu - used to quickly replace a body with a close by object. This creates a confusion among the opponent(s) while creating a chance to escape, or return with a larger strike. Kawarimi is useful for avoiding attacks, and hiding from potential enemies.
Nawanuke No Jutsu (Rope Untying Technique) Description: A basic skill that lets the user invest chakra into a rope or chain to undo it in the right way, so it loosens free for the user to escape. This will be to escape from a rope, chain, or any other similar binding. This can also be used for others and not just freeing themself from a rope binding.
g e n i n Kinobori no Jutsu (Tree Walking Technique)/Kabenobori no Jutsu (Wall Walking Technique) Description: By focusing chakra into the feet and keeping it balanced, the user can walk up against vertical objects and cling to its surface.
Kyou Masukingu No Jutsu (Sound Masking Technique) Description: This ninjutsu helps to cover up any sounds the user makes if they are on a mission that requires stealth. The user sends some chakra to the target’s ears and performs the needed hand seals. Any natural sounds in the area (running water, crickets, wind, ect…) become magnified slightly to mask any soft sounds that the user may make.
Nin Shiki Kaado (Secret Information Cards) Description: A technique which conceals information of an individual on a card. The information burned on the cards with chakra and can only be revealed by the user's chakra. Of course, this technique can also be used to store information on a different object and hide it, like a wall, a door, or scroll. This technique cannot be used to burn information to a card that your character does not actually know, or has known at some point in his or her life. In other words, if your character is to put information on a card about a shinobi, then that character must have met this other shinobi (or studied him through some other means), and learned from him exactly what it is the other shinobi can do before that information can be put in the cards.
c h u u n in Suimen Hokou no Gyou (The Art of Water Walking) Prerequisites: Kinobori no Jutsu
Description: A technique that enables the user to walk on the surface of water by concentrating chakra into the feet. It is also used for training; it allows an individual to learn how to control the release of chakra.
Hitoshizeru Bakuhatsu No Jutsu (Hidden Explosion Technique) Description: A simple yet effective technique that forces chakra out from the entire body, blowing out smoke and any small surrounding debris. This causes confusion, and allows the user to escape unnoticed. Useful for sneaky exits. This technique is basically the same as using a smoke bomb. It simply creates a large cloud of smoke to allow the user to escape or mask an action about to be done.
Chakra Tsuitou no Jutsu (Chakra Hunting Technique) Description: During chase situations, when the user has been closer to the target than 20 feet, and having had the ability to see the target clearly under those circumstances, the user can remember the target's chakra currents and distinguish these for a number of posts equal to the user's control divided by two. If the enemy uses a Genjutsu, or gains a difference of more than a mile, the user will lose track of the target.
j o u n i n s a n n i n NINJUTSU - LIGHT a c a d e m y g e n i n c h u u n in Light Arrow Multiplication B-S The user--after performing the seals--creates a bow and arrow of light from their chakra. After this is done, they can shoot the arrow into the ground or into the cloud, which it disappears into. Afterward, the user can move freely. Two posts later, a shower of arrows will rain down from the sky--or up from the ground--at the opponent.
j o u n i n Six Spears of Divine Absolution A This jutsu creates six double-ended spears of light that the user can manipulate at will. With this, they become effective tools of battle, and are extremely versatile. They are quite hot, and can cause first degree burns upon initial contact, leading up to second degree if subjected to continual exposure. Other than that, they're much like normal spears. However, they are of titanium hardness, and anything that could normally break titanium would break them.
s a n n i n Joukai Āto o kinshi : Ebisu-san no yumi (Joukai Forbidden Art: Hiruko's Bow)The user channels an ample amount of chakra throughout their body, they manipulate the chakra, making an large and extravagant bow made of the light chakra, made of individual threads of light(compare to Susanoo). No matter the time of day the skies open up, and orange tainted clouds fill the sky as a white sun shines down upon the battlefield. The ground around the user begins to crack and shatter, shards of earth form into particles of light and feed the users light wing and their aura. The chakra used in this technique is so powerful, it incinerates their shirt the instant the bow is formed and the arm that holds the bow feels a draining feeling as time progresses. A large white aura blares around the user, sending ample shock waves of yellow light blaring all around the battle field. A wing made completely of light forms on the side of the arm holding the bows back. This jutsu is extremely powerful... this is like a form of the Joukai more than a jutsu as it last for 10 post. The Joukai member is now able to move at extremely high speeds (+3 to Base speed) and can either generate powerful arrows of light or take items and coat them in the light chakra and fire them. The arrows are extremely powerful, they are capable of piercing thick, tough flesh with ease, along with reinforced steel and its lessers. The arrows wear down at material it cant pierce through with ease, usually 2-4 shots will break through (depending on how strong the item is). The arrows should not be blocked as only substances harder than diamond can shield a user from the attack. Though dodging is encouraged it is easier said that done, due to this being pure light it approaches one rapidly it's speed nearly unmatched. Only enemies with speed at the absolute maximum (15) can dodge these arrows consistently (but not by any means easily). Any lower speed and it's very difficult. No matter the chakra armor, consecutive hits from one the users arrows will eventually pierce, as the arrows consistently hit the armor with great impact, if pain isn't felt by the arrow itself then the foe will fly from the arrow making impact with their armor. The user can also throw arrows with their free hand, they will be of speed and power but not as much as if they were to use their bow. This form is used in times of need by joukai and just in case this alone isn't enough, this form has one trump card. The user used an S rank jutsu and fire an extremely large beam of concentrated light energy, it is about 80 meters in width, 90 meters in height and 500 in length. This beam is capable of reducing one to ashes in a matter of seconds if caught within without armor. After the jutsu is done however, the users form fades and they cant use their clan for a period of 40 (IRL) days, they also are severely weakened at this state and all jutsu will be lowered 2 ranks. If they battle for more than 5 post after using the trump card jutsu,they die. If this jutsu is used without the trump card jutsu, the after the 10 post the user is very weak and exhausted( 4 post). Their jutsu will be lowered by a rank and they will not be able to use light jutsu in this for their next 3 weeks.
NINJUTSU - DARKNESS a c a d e m y g e n i n c h u u n in j o u n i n s a n n i n Kage Bunshin No Jutsu (Shadow Clone Technique) Description: A forbidden jutsu that creates clones - which are not just plain illusions (like the normal Bunshin no Jutsu). Each clone is an exact replica of the user, capable of attacking. A direct hit causes the clone to disappear. Chakra is divided evenly between every clone and the original, so creating three clones would leave the user with one-fourth of his remaining chakra. These kage bunshin are also capable of using any jutsu the original shinobi knows (except Kuchiyose and bunshin jutsu), and each kage bunshin may use one jutsu. Once the clone has dispersed, the info that the clone has gathered will go to the original caster.
NINJUTSU - SEALING a c a d e m y Higashinishi Minamikita (東西 南北 East,west,south,north) This sign when put on a seal will make the seals fly into the battle array square that is needed, These force the seals to go east west north and south. the only thing a user needs to write on the seal from here is the perimeter length of the square they want created.
g e n i n Atsui( 暑い Hot) Pretty simple seal anything that this seal is placed on will heat up and keep heating up until the seal is removed which is sometimes harder than it sounds.
Rank: C
Samui (寒い Cold) Pretty simple seal anything that this seal is placed on will get colder and keep getting colder until the seal is removed which is sometimes harder than it sounds.
Rank: C
Explosion Creation Simply enough the user is able to make exploding tags with their blood so that only they can explode these seals. They come in handy in all occasions and are a highly personalized form of regular exploding tags which are what are commonly used. These seals are often used by Sealing Masters.
Rank: C
c h u u n in j o u n i n Owaru (終わる to come to an end) This seal makes a barrier in the 4 seal formation, which can really trick people inside, on the outside of this barrier is usually easy to break but the inside incredibly tough. For the people inside have no idea where the formation ends or starts. When one on the inside touches a wall of the formation barrier they are turned around without knowing it, thus giving the effect that they are walking forever looking for the end of the wall. Even jutsus targetted at the wall will be intertwined with the barrier and appear to those inside that it just went on forever, when in reality it just added to the overall strength of the barrier.
Rank: A
Fuuin Teppeki - Sealed Iron Wall Fuuin Teppeki is a Fuuinjutsu technique used to Fire Temple monk Chiriku. This seal has been placed on the statues flanking the door to form a barrier. The monk's Senzoku no Sai allows them to remove the barrier as needed. A powerful direct strike to the iron gates can also remove the barrier.
Rank: A
Fuuja Houin - Evil Sealing Method Fuuja Houin is a Fuuinjutsu technique used to counter-act the effects of a cursed seal. The ninja writes the needed seal characters on the ground and body of the person cursed with the seal. The ninja then forms the needed hand seals and places his hand over the cursed seal and then activates the written seal. The seal characters will then retreat to surround the cursed seal in a circular seal. Though the Fuuja Houin can work well against lesser seals, it will not be able to fully stop a cursed seal placed by a powerful, skilled ninja.
Rank: A
s a n n i n NINJUTSU - RAITON a c a d e m y Raikou Bunshin no Jutsu (Lightning Clone Technique) Description: This technique makes a simple clone of the shinobi however unlike the standard bunshin, which is a genjutsu, this bunshin takes an actual physical form through the use of electrically charged chakra. One can easily touch and hold this clone like it was in fact an actual person, however when it is attacked it quickly disperses into smoky, hot air. It is also able to attack using taijutsu, however it's ability to attack is around 1/10 in perspective to the user, in return for this weakness it's attacks deliver shocks of electricity to the opponent's body.
g e n i n Heki no Jutsu (Burst Technique) Description: An overall simple move that is generally taught to genin to assist in generating and controlling chakra for the sake of ninjutsu, the shinobi vents electric chakra from his entire body, causing anyone that touches or attacks him to receive minor electrical shocks and burns. The shinobi cannot move while in this state.
Kumo Keba no Jutsu (Cloud Wisp Technique) Description: A scouting technique forming warm air into his hands the Cloud-Nin creates a cloud that is infused with chakra, the entire process takes a post in itself, after forming the cloud the nin loses all form of mental consciousness and the cloud flies away. This little wispling of cloud is now controlled by the nin who has lost consciousness it hears and sees all that is near the cloud. More often times then not the ghosts many foreign shinobi claimed to of seen in The Gate is nothing more then a shinobi using this technique, the wispling looks like a slight misty ball and some could even see the face of the nin form into it giving it a more ghost-like appearance. Destroying it is very easy, physical attacks, ninjutsu almost anything can dispel the technique returning the nin to consciousness, but a horrible weakness this wisp does have is that if one were to use genjutsu on the probe it immediately dispels and the user is afflicted with the genjutsu that was used without even knowing it.
Nagare Isou no Jutsu (Current Transfer Skill) Description: An overall simple yet very effective technique, the Cloud-nin creates a sort of electrical current on his hand, this current can then be transferred onto any weapon he happens to be holding at that moment be it a kunai, senbon, shuriken, or even a sword. The next physical attack he performs is charged with this electrical current, if he blocks a weapon attack with his own weapon the current transfers over shocking the attacker. If by chance the user is not carrying a weapon he can transfer this current into his opponent's weapon shocking him, or can even hit him with this current.
Raiton: Raikou Boruto no Jutsu (Lightning Release: Lightning Bolt Technique) Description: A simple technique in concept and execution, in which the user performs the necessary handseals and then emits a short bolt of lightning from his or her hand. This is a simple bolt, akin to a fireball, as opposed to being a continuous stream. On impact, the target will suffer minor electric shocks.
Raikou Henge no Jutsu (Lightning Transformation Technique) Description: This technique, while being a branch of Henge no Jutsu, allows the user to transform in a way they never dreamed of. When performing this skill, the user transforms into an extremely quick 'strand' of lightning. In this quick state, nothing is done slowly - everything is in a rush for the user. However, this strand of lightning is incapable of changing directions on its own. It can only change directions by bouncing off another object, such as a tree or a boulder, but the user is capable of bouncing off in any angle they wish to. It is not recommended using this technique in a field with little objects to bounce off of. The Henge automatically dissipates when the user makes contact with a living target. Being in a state similar to lightning, the user plunges completely into their target, and ends up in their physical state on the other side of their opponent. In addition to giving the target a painful electrical shock, this skill may or may not paralyze their opponent. Because of the fast speeds associated with this skill, the user will feel dizzy, confused, and often nauseous for some time afterwards.
Note: This technique can be used in conjunction with other jutsu, such as the Call of Lightning Technique, or the Lightning Clone Technique, to confuse the opponent. However, no skills can be used in this state. It cannot be used to flee.
c h u u n in Dendou Kariyou no Jutsu (Electric Overdose Technique) Description: The user takes one post to channel a large amount of electricity into a limb, making the chakra visible. Upon contact with the opponent, the electricity is shot into him and the target’s weight almost doubles, making it harder for the victim to move.
Kumo Tate no Jutsu (Cloud Shield Technique) Description: After flashing a series of hand seals the shinobi uses chakra to condense the air immediately in front of him into a thick, chakra-embedded barrier made of cloud. These barrier blocks particular weapon attacks that are coming straight ahead, and will also block ninjutsu-based projectiles that are at the same power as the shield.
Raiton: Raikou Hitofuki no Jutsu (Lightning Release: Lightning Blast Technique) Description: An upgraded version of Lightning Bolt, this jutsu works the same way except now it is a continuous blast of electricity. The blast can be ended prematurely by the user. A target hit by this technique will experience quite painful electric shocks, however they are still relatively minor.
Kanri Soushitsu no Jutsu (Control Loss Technique) Description: A rather sophomoric skill in itself forming electricity into the primary hand of the Cloud-Nin the shinobi delivers a full on palm strike to the body, the voltage of this particular technique is considered high enough that the target generally loses control of the bowels and bladder causing a rather distracting mess in their undergarments. Obviously the catch is however that one has to be hit by the palm strike to fall victim to this immature tactic.
j o u n i n Inbikiri Ekido no Jutsu (Lightning Rage Technique) Description: After making the necessary handseals the user slap the ground (as many times as one wants) for everytime they slap the ground a blast wave of lightning radiates outwards 50ft. (75ft. for anbu)(100ft. for Kage/sannin)
Inbikiri Seeji no Jutsu (Lightning Sage Technique) Description: The user must maintain concentration for a minute (1 post) as user concentrates on sending electricity through their own muscles thus stimulating themselves to become stronger, faster and more flexible; this raises your base stats by +1/+1 beyond the cap.
Lasts for an entire fight before needing to be recharged.
Ten Thousand Lightning Bugs The jutsu is just like it's name. A fairly simple, yet new technique. The user makes twenty consecutive seals ending with bird. At the end of the seal session of the jutsu, the user emits glowing chakra. It creates an aura around their body for one whole post (3 sentences long). The glowing aura then disperses from the body, and turns into what would look like Fire Flies. These little fire flies are actually small balls, about a half inch in circumfrence, and made of pure Raiton Chakra. Once the bugs surround a certain area or abject, the ten thousand fire flies will explode once the bird seal is released. The send out an exposion of lightning about a half meter in diameter electrocuting anything and everything in their path of destruction.
Chidori This technique channels a large amount of lightning chakra to the user's hand. The amount of chakra is so great that it becomes visible. The high concentration of electricity produces a sound reminiscent of many birds chirping, hence the name. Once the technique is completed, the user charges forward and thrusts the Chidori into the target, increasing their speed for the duration of this attack by 1. This produces heavy amounts of damage that is usually fatal. This technique is classified as an assassination technique because of the speed at which it is performed, despite the loud noise it produces.
s a n n i n Hando no Semeku (Hands of Torture)
Descriptions: Considered by most to be more of a torture technique then an actual attack the user can lay his hands on his opponent and send several thousands of volts of electricity into the target. Depending how many times a Cloud-Nin has hit the opponent with this will depend on what happens. One time of being hit by this technique causes minor burns, chest constrictions, blurred vision, and overall pain. An additional time of being hit by this any other time during the battle will cause on-site second-degree burns, partial blindness, and an inability to breathe. A third case of exposure will cause a third degree burn on the spot that the hands touched and will cause major orificial hemorrhaging cause by internal bleeding, and unconsciousness. The fourth exposure causes death, and pretty much leaves the area smelling like burnt flesh.
Kouten no Saiketsu (Heaven's Judgement)
Description: A technique that causes overall destruction and chaos, performing a number of seals a large spinning tube of lightning launches itself out of the user's body and speeds away in the direction that the Cloud-Nin was facing. Going at a particularly high speed this tube begins to tear up all peices of land it touch and bores large holes through anything that has the horrible chance of being in front of it and then explodes in a huge burst of electricity essentially electrocuting anyone within close proximity of the explosion.
Shina no Kourin (The Descent of Shina)
Description: A technique used generally to remove a huge group of nins or to breach a heavily guarded section of wall. After fully charging all chakra and then doing nothing but hand seals the Cloud-Nin is able to open the skies from above and as such a sphere of clouds about 14 feet in height and 14 feet in circumference slowly descends from the sky. It then slowly descends to touch the ground, and once it does everything in a 90 foot radius of where the ball dropped is attacked by huge bolts of lightning causing large amounts of property damage and what not.
Raiden no Moui (Raiden's Fury)
Description: A technique often used for the sake of demolitions purposes, the user flashes a number of seals and finally ends the series with an odd looking seal that auspiciously looks like the seal that the Yamanaka use for their own techniques. The user of this technique now must keep his eyes set on one specific object that he can see through this seal for the next two minutes, if he moves or does anything else but aim during this period the technique is cancelled. After this, the skies suddenly open up, and a huge beam of white lightning strikes where the user was aiming, decimating the target and causing powerful shockwaves to affect the area 500 feet from the point of impact, most likely decimating anything with a foundation. One can generally tell that this technique is occurring by the fact that the skies turn black, thunder begins sounding, and it starts to rain during the time of preparation as well as a sudden increase of heat.
Raiton: Jūrokuchū Shibari (Lightning Release: Sixteen Pillar Bind)
Descripton: A more powerful version of Lightning Release: Four Pillar Bind, the user creates sixteen giant pillars, which then form a giant oven-like structure to trap the enemy. It is used after Earth Release: Sticky Earth Drop to cover the enemy in mud and then followed by Fire Release: Fired Pottery Technique, creating flames inside the oven to roast and harden the mud, immobilizing the enemy.
Note: Must Know Four Pillar Bind
Sigh of the Yellow Dragon
Description: Often considered to be Nagai Jyushin's trademark technique the few who have ever seen it have gazed in awe at the complete output of chakra one would have to use in order to perform such a move as this. Placing but one single hand on the opponent the shinobi delivers a huge debilitating shock to his target forcing him to his knees, the shinobi then generates a excessively huge amount of electirc chakra that the target's body turns to ash and crumbles away. Some who have claimed to of seen the move in action say that a human sized flying snake can be seen wrapped around Nagai and then flies high into the sky, never to be seen again. However to this day the school teacher claims he knows no such move.
Shina's Touch
Description: A move believed to be forever lost in legend, but technically possible had one the ability to manipulate enough electrical chakra to do so. Concentrating enough chakra to just the hand one could place it on the opponent's chest and regulate the heart to beat slower then the human body needs to survive. At first the target doesn't even notice that such a technique has even happened and continues moving like it's nothing, however after a little while the target begins to falter about and then collapses as he feels his entire body coarsing with pain and exhaustion unable to get back up. 2 minutes later the victim falls into a coma and then dies afterwards. Although it has never been performed since the days Shina herself was alive one claims all one needs to do to survive such a slow and painful death is to have Hekirikite no Jutsu performed on the victim, re-regulating the heart to it's proper setting.
Limelight
Description: This jutsu is depicted as the strongest of all Lightning jutsu in existence. The incredible destructive power of this jutsu can reduce an entire Hidden Village and everyone within the area to nothing but ash. Shien has referred to it as a way of Smiting, similar to what Gods themselves do to the unworthy, sometimes seireitou also refers to this as well. This jutsu requires 4 highly-skilled ninja to use it to stand in a cardinal formation.The area in which to be affected by this jutsu depends on how far the formation is spread out. The formation can stretch as far as an entire castle. The extremely large amount of chakra used will drain the users of almost all their chakra.
Raiton: Rairyu Rendan no Jutsu (Lightning Release: Lightning Dragon Attack)
Description: Sends a create dragon to smash into the opponent, sending forth an incredible shock through the opponents body. That can leave their entire body temporarily paralyzed.
Raiton: Ryouken (Lightning Hound)
Description: By manipulating lightning chakra into the dominante hand, the user make the lightning expand to can create the form of a hound. to attack his opponent from a distance. The lightning dog will still be connected to the user’s hand through a bolt of lightning. The user then manipulates the technique to attack the chosen target. Being a Lightning Release, it requires a lot of chakra from the user to maintain for a period of time and thus a risk to use with a low chakra supply. This was first used against Pain when Kakashi tested this jutsu out to see if he could repel both Ninjutsu and Taijutsu.
Chidori Sharp Spear:
Prerequisite: Chidori
Description: The original Chidori gained its power by shaping it into a form sufficient for an electrical discharge and using it together with the user's own "thrust". This technique uses Shape Transformation to form the original Chidori into a spear-shape, adapting it for mid-range attacks with a maximum range of 10 meters. Although it's less powerful than the Chidori, its increased range means there is less of a risk to the user. It also has the advantage of being able to be used for surprise attacks and capturing. When the enemy's body is pierced the user can alter the spear's shape into multiple additional blades increasing the number of wounds. The blade can also be swung in order to cut things as well as cause fatal injuries.
Chidori Senbon:
Prerequisite: Chidori
Description: This is one of many variations of the Chidori that uses shape transformation. It is specialized in more speed, by being transformed into countless sharp senbon, all aimed at the enemy. By increasing the amount of chakra used, the number of senbon also increases. It can become even more effective by using it together with the Sharingan, allowing the user to precisely shoot for the enemy's vital points.
Sword of Kusanagi: Chidori Katana
Prerequisite: Chidori
Description: This technique allows Sasuke to flow Chidori through his chokutō. This makes it nearly unblockable as the radiating and chirping blade can easily cut through steel. Furthermore, if an opponent is stabbed, their body goes numb due to an electrical current which causes the muscles to go stiff, making it impossible for the opponent to move. However, it can be countered by other weapons that also utilize chakra flow, such as Killer Bee's swords.
Chidori Current
Prerequisite: Chidori
Description: By releasing the Chidori in every direction, an electrical discharge flows from the user's entire body allowing him to affect multiple enemies. When using this attack on a great number of enemies at once, it can effectively double as an instant defense. The body of the person touched by the Chidori will misinterpret the Lightning nature as "electrical signals from the nerves," making its muscles contract. This causes the body to involuntarily go stiff, while at the same time receives damage. This will also neutralize other lightning jutsu so long as they are not more powerful. This attack can also be channeled through the ground to increase the range of the attack by a few more feet.
Chidori Stream:
Description: The user uses his weapon of choice to channel an extremely powerful Chidori. It appears to have an even greater range than Chidori Current, making it more effective in battle. It can be noted that this technique is more of a use on water, because the lightning current produced is carried on the entire surface making it more difficult for the enemy to avoid it.
Kouseitan Kawa (Element Skin)
Description: A jutsu that allows the user to transform their skin into one of the users elements. The user takes a fourth of their elemental chakra and stores it all over there body. However, this must be the useres main element inorder to do it.

Stage 0 - This is a stage of the Hachibi's power that few know about. The host's skin darkens slightly, and dark circles form around their eyes. When accessing the 0 stage, the host also gains the ability to use their hands, arms, legs, and feel like suction cups at will, latching on to people and weapons alike. The host is also enveloped with a pale, sickly purple chakra, and their speed stat is increased by +1.
Stage 1 - Upon first activating Gyuki's power, the host will be overcome with a dark chakra cloak. It is a sickly, pale purple in hue--similar to the chakra cloak that the Kyuubi host experiences at one tail. Two horns will form atop the host's head, and the tails of the demon will begin to take shape. At this point, if the host doesn't know how to control the power of their demon, they will go on a rampage. The only remaining trace of sanity is that they can still tell friend from foe. When this stage is active, the host gets a +2 boost to strength. When this stage is mastered, the host experiences full control.
Stage 2 - After reaching the fifth tail, the Hachibi host enters stage two. They are overcome with a pulsating black and red skin, similar to what the Kyuubi's fourth tail has. Their boost increases; +3 to the strength stat. When in this form, the host's gains the ability to jump incredible distances, as shown in Killerbee's fight against Sasuke. At this rank, the ability to use Homicide Blast is unlocked. Like in the first stage, if the host hasn't mastered the stage, they lose control of themselves. The difference here is that they cannot tell friend from foe. As always, when the stage is mastered, they experience full control.
Stage 3 - Upon the final stage, the host has two options. If the host reaches this stage before they've fully mastered control over their demon, they will die. The Hachibi will take complete form--and complete control--over their body, killing them instantly and going on a rampage.
If this stage is mastered, the host and Gyuuki have come to an understanding. At that point, the host can turn into the Hachibi at will, gaining a staggering +4 to their strength stat. Their fists are strong enough to knock away the reckless charges of the Gobi, and they can also use the fearsome Bijuudama. The Hachibi's stage 3 can withstand one SS-ranked technique before the Hachibi must return into the host's body and recover for seven posts.
TAIJUTSU
First stage
No Rank Requirement
Arashi noma eno shizu kesa [The Calm Before the Storm]
In the first stage of learning Shuurai Tekken Do, the practitioner focuses in training on slow, fluid motion while flexing and releasing different areas of muscle. No aids are yet used to provide extra resistance to the training, only strict guidance from a good teacher with a judgmental hand. In battle, the practitioner focuses on blocking with sweeping motions and striking with fast single strikes, taking advantage of the forms learned in practice.
Second Stage
Genin
An'unteimei [The Gathering Storm Clouds]
After a suitable duration of undertaking the first style to build on the basics, the teacher will add a tool to the practitioner's repertoire - small cups filled to the brim with a liquid. The goal of this addition is to work on the fluidity of the movements while still maintaining rigid muscle control. In battle, the practitioner's speed is noticeably faster than the average ninja, and while the sweeping blocks are now accompanied by extremely fast forearm and shin blocks, the single fast strike policy still stands for attacking.
Stage 3
Chunin
Yorunotobari [Third Stage: The Veil of Darkness]
The third stage of learning Shuurai Tekken Do is a grueling one, as whole days are sometimes spent a single position, the two cups of the previous stage being accompanied now by cups positioned on the head, shoulders, tops of the hands and feet, and on the knees. The user spends long durations in a sitting position with arms level at the shoulders, but without a chair to sit on. Sometimes, if the teacher is feeling particularly cruel, the student may be asked to try walking in a small circle while the cups are all still in place. In battle, the practitioner begins to use striking flurries in addition to the quick single strikes, as well as learning to add counters behind the now extremely fast blocks.
Stage 4
Jounin
Haizename [The Torrential Rain]
Once the practitioner has attained what the instructor deems to be proper levels of fluidity and solidity, the cups in hand are traded in for medium-sized buckets of water with rough rope handles, which are still filled to the brim with a liquid. The rest of the cups of the previous stage are removed. This adds the extra aspect of maintaining fluidity while improving on muscle control due to the resistance of the added fluid weight. In battle, the practitioner approaches speeds that will baffle the human eye and batter the human body, but due to intense training the user will be able to control every strike, counter, and dodge to a keen precision. Strong single strikes and the occasional flurry are still the mainstay of the practitioner's offense, though there is now a considerable increase in the power behind them.
Stage 5
Sanin
Saishuudankai: Tekken Tenrai no Raijin [Final Stage: The Divine Fist of Raijin]
In the final stage of Shuurai Tekken Do, the teacher acknowledges the student's abilities by leaving the last training up to him, as the learning is now essentially complete. A complete emphasis on speed should be the focus of the training in the Final Stage; some training methods used in the past include weighted training underwater, deep squats carrying livestock on the shoulders while standing under a waterfall, and other such extremes. In combat, the practitioner is now the stuff of the legends surrounding this style, seeming to be able to attack without physically moving the body from a standstill. Striking and countering become so fluid and fast that some say the blocks are almost up before the opponent's strike begins and the counter is made before the strike is retracting.
