Description: The Gentle Fist is a form of hand-to-hand combat used by members of the Hyūga clan of Konohagakure. The fighting style itself is one based on redirection, quick strikes, parries, and counters. It inflicts internal damage through attacking the body's Chakra Pathway System, subsequently injuring organs which are closely intertwined with the area of the network which has been struck. To do this, the user surgically injects their own chakra into the opponent's chakra pathway system, causing C-Rank internal (True) Damage. If aimed right, this can cause damage to surrounding organs, as well.

By employing the use of the Byakugan they can target the tenketsu to actively seal the opponent's reservoir. These 361 nodes are key gate-keeping interceptions in the chakra circulatory network, and can be actively opened or sealed by Gentle Fist users. The affected person's chakra flow can either be increased or disrupted completely, preventing them from using techniques or making them use more doing so. Since blocking a tenketsu takes only the slightest tap, the user can focus their entire attention on striking quickly and numerous times in a short span of time.

As Gentle Fist users are able to open tenketsu, this is beneficial to those they do it for. For every 32 tenketsu opened, the afflicted person gains an additional 15 chakra points. This effect last five posts, and after they're done the target suffers an exhaustion penalty of one minus to all physical stats for two posts while they recover. This effect can also end early if the afflicted person burns through the excess chakra they've been given.

When closing tenketsu, every tenketsu that's sealed drains 1 chakra from the target. Tenketsu remained closed for the remainder of the topic after which they will open back up. They can also be forcibly opened by an outside source of chakra (i.e a bijuu or curse seal, or any outside source of chakra being channeled into the user specifically to unblock the Tenketsu), though this requires that source of chakra to equate to the maximum chakra that's already been locked away from the user. If all 361 of a single person's tenketsu are sealed they fall unconscious.

Additionally, Gentle Fist can be used to perviate chakra-based substances, be it webs, armors and even barriers of up to B (in rank and/or durability). While in use, Gentle Fist boosts a user's Speed by a + and Coordination by a ++. Hyuugas are also able to stun opponents for one post based on how many strikes they've landed (and tenketsu they've sealed), in comparison to the opponent's Constitution.

E-tier Con: 4 hits
D-tier Con: 8 hits
C-tier Con: 16 hits
B-tier Con: 32 hits
A-tier Con: 64 hits
S-tier Con: 128 hits

True Damage:

Weaknesses: Chakra armor that isn't Twin Lion Fists or a unique booster neutralizes a Hyuuga's capability to seal tenketsu as well.

Name: Tenketsu Needle (柔拳・点穴針, Jūken: Tenketsushin)

Power: C (True Damage)
Activation Cost: 5

Classification: Hyūga Clan Exclusive

Parent Technique: Gentle Fist
Hand Seals: N/A
Description: Targeting a single chakra point, the user delivers a two-fingered strike at the opponent, in an attempt to plug the chakra that's being used and halt its flow. Due to the nature of the technique involving using two fingers instead of one, this allows a Gentle Fist user to inject more chakra into the single tenketsu in which they're targeting. This spreads the injected chakra from the single tenketsu that's sealed, spreading to up to four more to seal a total of 5 and seal 5 chakra points from the opponent.
Weaknesses: General Gentle Fist weaknesses.

Name: Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven (八卦掌回天, Hakkeshō Kaiten)
Rank: C
Power: Varies
Activation Cost: Varies
Upkeep Cost: One rank below initial payment
Range: 0-2m per rank past C
Speed: User's Base Coordination
Element: N/A
Skill: Taijutsu
Classification: Hyūga Clan Exclusive
Requirements: B-Rank Coordination
Parent Technique: Gentle Fist
Hand Seals: N/A
Description: This technique utilizes the chakra control gained through Gentle Fist training to release a large amount of chakra from all the chakra points on the user's body. It is also a defensive maneuver to compensate for the Byakugan's blind spot as the released chakra blocks any possible attack on the user. After releasing chakra from every tenketsu in their body, the user then spins rapidly to parry the attack, both creating a rotating shield of chakra around themselves and tossing away any nearby attackers. The user can also actively control the size and power of the sphere to suit the situation. The technique is also capable of reflecting an opponent's chakra against them. It is an extremely chakra efficient technique, with most of its difficulty coming in keeping the form of the chakra up rather than the simple expenditure of chakra.

Physical attacks are all repelled by this violent rotation, making it very difficult to penetrate the defense. Chakra of any kind may be repelled, as the rotating shield of chakra simply forces any chakra that touches it off for the duration of the spin. The user may increase the range and power of the Rotation at will to encompass a larger area or produce a denser shield for stronger attacks. This is done by increasing the amount of chakra used to activate the technique, with a C-Rank payment resulting in forming a rotating shield of chakra possessing C-Rank Power and spreading 2 meters out around the user. This allows the technique to defend against C-Rank and below attacks or techniques that do not destabilize the user's ability to spin. By increasing the amount of chakra paid, the user is able to increase this technique's defensive capabilities.
Weaknesses: This technique is only effective when rotating, since the chakra itself is not enough to stop a physical attack thus if they cannot spin, the user becomes vulnerable. The chakra rotation can be disrupted by some kind of hardy threading such as chakra flowed ninja wire or chakra threads, which slows down the user, binding and tangling them in, and ultimately forces them to stop. The user must also remain stationary for the usage of the technique, meaning a foe must simply wait for the user to stop spinning before attacking again.

Name: Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm (八卦空掌, Hakke Kūshō)
Rank: C
Power: C (True Damage)
Activation Cost: 5
Upkeep Cost: N/A
Range: 0-10m
Speed: User's Coordination -1 tier
Element: N/A
Skill: Taijutsu
Classification: Hyūga Clan Exclusive
Requirements: Byakugan (to pinpoint tenketsu)
Parent Technique: Gentle Fist
Hand Seals: N/A
Description: This technique is similar in practice to Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven, but has a specific target rather than a general area. To perform it, the user precisely pinpoints the enemy's vital points with the Byakugan and releases a high-speed palm thrust. A "vacuum shell" compressed using the Gentle Fist is formed to attack the opponent's vitals from a distance, blowing them off their feet with tremendous force before they even notice they were hit.

This technique's vacuum shell is a cone 2 meters in diameter. It seals 10 tenketsu if it strikes directly. Furthermore, unless the opponent possesses Constitution equal to or higher than the technique's Power, they're knocked back 5 meters. This technique can also be used with two hands, which raises its cost to 10. In exchange, it seals 15 tenketsu, raises the power to B, and the cone expands to 4 meters in diameter. This is referred to as the 'Vacuum Wall Palm' method, and can simply be used by two Hyuugas using the base technique for the same effect.
Weaknesses: Requires extremely impressive aim to effectively land the tenketsu sealing effect.

Name: Eight Trigrams Thirty-Two Palms (八卦三十二掌, Hakke Sanjūni Shō)
Rank: C
Power: C
Activation Cost: 5
Upkeep Cost: N/A
Range: 0-6m (to target), Contact (to hit)
Speed: N/A
Element: N/A
Skill: Taijutsu
Classification: Hyūga Clan Exclusive
Requirements: Byakugan (to pinpoint tenketsu), Stage Two Byakugan
Parent Technique: Gentle Fist
Hand Seals: N/A
Description: The Eight Trigrams Thirty-Two Palms is a maneuver of the Gentle Fist fighting style. It is essentially a halved version of the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms, but seems to be no less effective. This technique is used to close off the flow of chakra through thirty-two chakra points of an opponent's chakra pathway system. This eliminates their ability to use chakra for quite some time and makes it difficult for them to move, barring them off from the use of A-Rank and above techniques for the remainder of the topic.

Once someone is within range of the user's field of divination, they assume their Gentle Fist stance and begin to deliver their attack: This technique boosts their Coordination by two pluses (++), and their Speed by two pluses (++) for the duration of the thirty-two strikes. Each plus is added for every step of the technique completed, starting out with Speed and then transitioning to Coordination. This technique takes a full post to complete.

First, two consecutive strikes to make two. This seals away an initial 2 total chakra.
Second, another two consecutive strikes to make four. At this point in time, the opponent suffers the standard 4 points of total chakra reduction from four tenketsu being sealed.
Third, four consecutive strikes to make eight. This tacks on the sealing away of 4 more chakra points.
Fourth, eight consecutive strikes to make sixteen. This adds another 8 sealed chakra points.
Fifth, another sixteen consecutive strikes in succession to make a total of thirty-two. At the apex of the technique, the opponent is knocked 5 meters away and 16 more points of the opponent's total chakra are sealed from use. This technique drops their Coordination & Speed by one minus (-), with the debuff lasting six posts.

Assuming a user is able to land all thirty-two strikes, this seals away a total of 32 points of chakra from the opponent for the duration of the topic. If they're able to escape the technique beforehand, they only suffer based on the amount of palms they were struck with. If the technique is cut off by the opponent avoiding the second last 32, it becomes 32 Palms and its drain to the user changes to fit that.
Weaknesses: Stated above, beyond that this jutsu does not actual damage to the target. With the technique focusing more on quantity of strikes more than simply quality of it’s power.

B Ranks:

Name: Palm Bottom (掌底, Shōtei)
Rank: B
Power: C (True Damage)
Activation Cost: Varies
Upkeep Cost: N/A
Range: Contact
Speed: N/A
Element: N/A
Skill: Taijutsu
Classification: Hyūga Clan Exclusive
Requirements: N/A
Parent Technique: Gentle Fist
Hand Seals: N/A
Description: This attack consists of a quick, precise thrust of the user's palm to the opponent's body. The attack sends chakra into the area of the foe where struck to either stun them, or if a more sufficient amount of chakra is used, cause severe internal damage. Should the user inject the amount of chakra necessary, they are able to stun their opponent for one post. The amount of chakra and by proxy, activation cost required to pull this off varies based on the opponent's Constitution:

E-tier: 1
D-tier: 3
C-tier: 5
B-tier: 10
A-tier: 20
S-tier: 30
X-tier: Unable to stun

Weaknesses: General Gentle Fist weaknesses. Also it should be noted this tech works to the exact constitution level. So paying for an A rank stun will not stun A+ or A++. Meaning this tech cannot be used to stun S+ or S++ constitution at all.

Name: Gentle Fist Art One Blow Body (柔拳法一撃身, Jūkenhō Ichigekishin)
Rank: B
Power: Varies
Activation Cost: Varies
Upkeep Cost: N/A
Range: Contact
Speed: N/A
Element: N/A
Skill: Taijutsu
Classification: Hyūga Clan Exclusive
Requirements: Byakugan (to pinpoint tenketsu)
Parent Technique: Gentle Fist
Hand Seals: N/A
Description: A technique born from their innate ability to expel chakra from every tenketsu on their body, a member of the Hyūga clan can hit their opponent with a blast of chakra that will send them flying away from the user, and potentially seal one of their tenketsu if aimed right. This chakra is expelled with quite a bit of force behind it in a manner similar to Rotation, just without the spinning. The amount of chakra that may be invested into the technique is entirely up to the user, with higher ranked techniques requiring more chakra to break out of.

This technique may also break chakra based techniques and prisons by utilizing their Byakugan to pinpoint weaknesses and target them. When breaking jutsu like this such as Water Prison, the chakra expelled forcefully destroys the chakra holding the technique together and thus ends it. The cost for this is equal to the jutsu utilized against the user. When breaking free from a person, the cost is equal to their tier of strength with anything above S rank strength unable to be broken with this technique.
Weaknesses: Fairly niche technique in its usage due in large part to its very short range. The user has to be in a very disadvantageous position in the first place in order to even use this technique, meaning it's almost never used to gain an upper hand. It's only used to get the user back to a relatively level playing ground.

Name: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms (八卦六十四掌, Hakke Rokujūyon Shō)
Rank: B
Power: B
Activation Cost: 10
Upkeep Cost: N/A
Range: 0-9m (to target), Contact (to hit)
Speed: N/A
Element: N/A
Skill: Taijutsu
Classification: Hyūga Clan Exclusive
Requirements: Byakugan (to pinpoint tenketsu), Stage Three Byakugan, C-Rank Coordination
Parent Technique: Gentle Fist
Hand Seals: N/A
Description: With the Byakugan's near 360° field of vision, the user envisions an Eight Trigrams circle. Then the enemy within this circle is hit with a series of violent blows. By striking sixty-four of the tenketsu throughout the opponent's Chakra Pathway System, their chakra flow is debiliated tremendously. This eliminates their ability to use chakra for quite some time and makes it difficult for them to move, barring them off from the use of B-Rank and above techniques for the remainder of the thread.

Once someone is within range of the user's field of divination, they assume their Gentle Fist stance and begin to deliver their attack: This technique boosts their Coordination by one tier, and their Speed by two pluses (++) for the duration of the sixty-four strikes. Each plus is added for every step of the technique completed, starting out with Speed and then transitioning to Coordination. While this technique takes two posts to complete, its duration is also able to be reduced by one post, so long as the user's base Coordination exceed the requirement by one tier (B-Rank in this case).

First, two consecutive strikes to make two. This seals away an initial 2 total chakra.
Second, another two consecutive strikes to make four. At this point in time, the opponent suffers the standard 4 points of total chakra reduction from four tenketsu being sealed.
Third, four consecutive strikes to make eight. This tacks on the sealing away of 4 more chakra points.
Fourth, eight consecutive strikes to make sixteen. This adds another 8 sealed chakra points.
Fifth, another sixteen consecutive strikes in succession to make a total of thirty-two. This deducts 16 more points of total chakra from the opponent.
Sixth (carries over to a second post), another thirty-two consecutive strikes in succession to make a total of sixty-four strikes. The sixth consecutive attack needs a strong step forward, because without it the technique will fail. Once the remaining thirty-two strikes are delivered, 32 points of the opponent's total reservoir are barred off from them. This effect lasts for the remainder of the topic. While a debuff of two minuses (--) to their Coordination & Speed lasts for 6 posts.

Assuming a user is able to land all thirty-two strikes, this seals away a total of 64 points of chakra from the opponent for the duration specified above. If they're able to escape the technique beforehand, they only suffer based on the amount of palms they were struck with.
Weaknesses: Stated above, also this technique does no actual damage on its own. Focusing more on the ‘quantity’ of strikes rather than the ‘quality’ of the power behind them.

A Ranks:

Name: Protecting Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms (守護八卦六十四掌, Shugohakke Rokujūyon Shō)
Rank: A
Power: A
Activation Cost: 20
Upkeep Cost: -
Range: Varies
Speed: User's Coordination
Element: N/A
Skill: Taijutsu
Classification: Hyūga Clan Exclusive
Requirements: Byakugan (to pinpoint tenketsu), Stage Three Byakugan, B-Rank Coordination
Parent Technique: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms
Hand Seals: N/A
Description: This is a highly versatile technique which affords both offensive and defensive capabilities whereby the user emits a constant stream of chakra from her palms, which are formed into extremely thin, sharp, blades. These blades vary in quality and sharpness based on the way the technique is used. Whether offensively or defensively used though, these blades cut through most materials effortlessly, and prevent them from halting the use of the technique like they would the Revolving Heaven technique, through binds such as wiring.

While using this technique offensively, the user shapes the chakra into thin, sharp, flexible blades allowing them to hit hundreds of targets with extreme precision and can cut smaller targets, like bees, into pieces. This is a much shorter-ranged variation of the technique, only stemming a meter from their hands. For this variation of the technique, the blades are considered A-Rank in quality and sharpness, and allow the user to move at their Speed -1 tier while performing it.

When used defensively, the user creates much larger, stronger, more flexible, arc-shaped chakra blades that spread out across the user's entire attack range, effectively forming a barricade between themselves and their opponents, rebuffing even the largest and smallest of targets. This net of chakra around the user is composed of blades that are B-Rank in quality and sharpness, more reliant on simply protecting the user like the Revolving Heaven technique might. This spans a total of 3 meters around the user's frame, maintained by the user's constant arm movements.

With the addition of the user's flexibility, the technique creates an "absolute defense" effect similar to that of the Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven, though the cutting nature of the chakra prevents any outside force from restricting it.
Weaknesses: N/A

Name: Eight Trigrams Mountain Crusher (八卦破山撃, Hakke Hasangeki)
Rank: A
Power: B (True Damage)
Activation Cost: 20
Upkeep Cost: N/A
Range: 0-15m
Speed: User's Coordination
Element: N/A
Skill: Taijutsu
Classification: Hyūga Clan Exclusive
Requirements: Byakugan (to pinpoint tenketsu)
Parent Technique: Vacuum Palm
Hand Seals: N/A
Description: A more powerful variation of Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm. The user hits the target at close range with a powerful wave of chakra emitted from their palm, which sends them flying back, causing severe damage. This technique creates a blast of chakra invisible to the naked eye and 8 meters in diameter. The large chakra projectile is capable of sealing up to 25 tenketsu if the user hits their target dead-on.

Opponents struck by this technique are also knocked away 10 meters, unless they have Constitution equal to or higher than the technique's Power.
Weaknesses: Requires extremely impressive aim to effectively land the tenketsu sealing effect.

Name: Eight Trigrams One Hundred Twenty-Eight Palms (八卦百二十八掌, Hakke Hyaku Nijūhasshō)
Rank: A
Power: A
Activation Cost: 20
Upkeep Cost: -
Range: 0-12m (to target), Contact (to hit)
Speed: N/A
Element: N/A
Skill: Taijutsu
Classification: Hyūga Clan Exclusive
Requirements: Byakugan (to pinpoint tenketsu), Stage Four Byakugan, B-Rank Coordination
Parent Technique: Gentle Fist
Hand Seals: N/A
Description: The Eight Trigrams One Hundred Twenty-Eight Palms is a technique of the Gentle Fist fighting style. It is essentially a doubled version of the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms performed at twice the speed. This technique is used to close off the flow of chakra through one hundred and twenty-eight chakra points of an opponent's Chakra Pathway System. This eliminates their ability to use chakra for quite some time and makes it difficult for them to move, barring off access to chakra-based techniques C-Rank and above for the remainder of the topic. Alternatively, it can be used to hit a great number of targets very quickly.

Once someone is within range of the user's field of divination, they assume their Gentle Fist stance and begin to deliver their attack: This technique boosts their Coordination and Speed by one tier, for the duration of the strikes. Each plus is added for every step of the technique completed, starting out with Speed and then transitioning to Coordination. While this technique takes three posts to complete, its duration is also able to be reduced by one post, so long as the user's base Coordination exceeds the requirement by one tier (A-Rank in both in this case). This effect doubles up when someone with two tiers over the technique's stat requirements performs it.

First, two consecutive strikes to make two. This seals away an initial 2 total chakra.
Second, another two consecutive strikes to make four. At this point in time, the opponent suffers the standard 4 points of total chakra reduction from four tenketsu being sealed.
Third, four consecutive strikes to make eight. This tacks on the sealing away of 4 more chakra points.
Fourth, eight consecutive strikes to make sixteen. This adds another 8 sealed chakra points.
Fifth, another sixteen consecutive strikes in succession to make a total of thirty-two. This deducts 16 more points of total chakra from the opponent.
Sixth (carries over to a second post), another thirty-two consecutive strikes in succession to make a total of sixty-four strikes. Once the thirty-two strikes are delivered, 32 points of the opponent's total reservoir are barred off from them. This effect lasts the remainder of the topic like the sealing of the other tenketsu.
Seventh (carries over to a third post), another sixty-four consecutive strikes in succession to make a total of one hundred and twenty-eight strikes. These remaining sixty-four strikes bar off another 64 points of the opponent's total reservoir from them for the remainder of the topic. This adds on a debuff of one tier (--) to their Coordination & Speed, lasting 6 posts.

Assuming a user is able to land all one hundred and twenty-eight strikes, this seals away a total of 128 points of chakra from the opponent for the duration specified above. If they're able to escape the technique beforehand, they only suffer based on the amount of palms they were struck with. If this technique is cut off by an opponent avoiding the last 64, it becomes 64 Palms and its drain to the user changes to fit that. If the technique is cut off by the opponent avoiding the second last 32, it becomes 32 Palms and its drain to the user changes to fit that as well.
Weaknesses: Stated above, also this technique does no actual damage on its own. Focusing more on the ‘quantity’ of strikes rather than the ‘quality’ of the power behind them.

S Ranks:

Name: Gentle Step Twin Lion Fists (柔歩双獅拳, Jūho Sōshiken)
Rank: S
Power: S
Activation Cost: 30 (15 w/one lion)
Upkeep Cost: 20 (10 w/one lion)
Range: Contact
Speed: N/A
Element: N/A
Skill: Taijutsu
Classification: Hyūga Clan Exclusive
Requirements: Stage Five Byakugan, A-Rank Coordination, All Previous Gentle Fist techniques
Parent Technique: Gentle Fist
Hand Seals: N/A
Description: The user changes the shape of chakra released from both hands into large guardian lion-shaped shrouds. Doing so increases range and destructive power. The lion heads drain the chakra network of those they touch. It is an extremely difficult ability to learn, as the slightest mistake in chakra control will lead to failure, meaning it is a feat requiring the Byakugan. This technique can be used in conjunction with the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms.

Unlike Gentle Fist, this technique is stronger when it comes to penetrating chakra-based armors. It can bypass their defenses so long as they are A-Rank in below. Furthermore, for every point of physical contact a lion head manages, it clamps its jaws down upon the opponent, yanking their chakra away from their tenketsu directly instead of sealing them. As opposed to standard Gentle Fist techniques, this effectively steals the opponent's chakra away from them as well instead of simply draining it from their maximum reservoir, making it more deadly based on how much chakra the opponent has used.

This rate of chakra drain is done at 10 points every time the user makes contact with them, eating the opponent's chakra away actively. When used with palm techniques, it amps up Gentle Fist's base drain by .25, so instead of draining 1 total chakra per strike, it drains 1.25. This increases the total chakra sealing to 40/80/160, for 32 palms, 64 palms and 128 palms. This however, removes the general chakra drain that Twin Lion Fists grants for the duration of the palm technique.

Furthermore the user can choose to have the lions jaws hold onto a target, holding them with S rank power (for the grip) and potentially allowing the user to continue striking with the other hand. This technique does not do True Damage however, trading that capability for the physical power given by the Lion’s heads.

This technique expands the user's striking range to about a meter around their forearms given the size of the chakra-imbued lion heads. The technique also flows off the user's elbow for two meters. Allowing the user to raise their arms together to gain an effective defense that will cover the entire front of their body in a pinch. While active, this technique boosts the user's Strength by one tier for the purpose of striking with densified chakra, and their Coordination by one tier.
Weaknesses: Cannot use hand seals or hand-based techniques, only able to use palm-based techniques.
