Ximen Tian Long/Techniques

## Ninjutsu

### Water Release—Water Dragon Technique (Suiton: Suiryūdan no Jutsu) (Ch-08)

* The user mouds water into the shape of a dragon, which they then direct at a target. The water crashes upon the target, dealing significant physical damage.
* Ideally, users will use pre-existing bodies of water for this technique, but sufficiently skilled users can instead create the water themselves, spitting the dragon from their mouths. The more talented the user, the greater the amount of water that the dragon can be made from.

### Earth Release—Rampart of Flowing Soil (Doton: Doryū Jōheki) (Ch-08)

* This technique makes a gigantic rampart rise up beneath the user's feet, by shaping the ground and increasing the amount of earth with chakra.
* Depending on what the user imagines, the shape of the rampart can be anything from level ground to a steep, needle-like mountain.
* If the user increases the volume of earth too much, he can be forced to keep his chakra consumption down.

### Earth Release— Earth Shore Return (Doton: Doroku Gaeshi) (Ch-08)

* User slams his hands to the ground. The strength of this slam is great enough to rip open a section of the earth in front of him and leverage it up into a wall.
* This wall of earth shields user, usually from projectile attacks, but it can also be used against approaching physical strikes.

### Ninja Art—Super Beast Scroll (Chōjū Giga) (Ch-08)

* Using chakra-infused ink, the user can quickly and expertly draw objects onto their scroll. The moment the brush is removed from the scroll, the images leap from the paper, grow to life-size, and act according to the user's will.
* Because they are made of ink, a single blow is usually enough to dispel them.

### Earth Release Barrier—Earth Prison Dome of Magnificent (Doton Kekkai: Dorō Dōmu) (Ch-08)

* The user creates a dome of earth around a target or targets, trapping them inside. The walls of the dome have chakra flowing within, which quickly repairs any damage that its prisoners may do to it.
* If the user remains in contact with the dome, they are able to absorb the chakra of those who are imprisoned, making them weaker over time.

### Earth Release—Mutability (Doton: Uitenpen) (Ch-08)

* This technique is a combination of the Summoning Technique and an Earth Release technique.
* The user summons a large amount of rock from a giant canyon to be used for other techniques.
* The user can channel his chakra into the earth to alter the formation, aiding them in sneak attacks.

### Wind Release—Pressure Damage (Fūton: Atsugai) (Ch-18)

* Tornado-like mass is compressed until it has a very high density before being released.
* The blast can hit a vast range, inflicting massive damage on both the target and their close surroundings.

### Wind Release—Vacuum Sphere (Fūton: Shinkūgyoku) (Ch-18)

* The user takes a deep breath and exhales several small blasts of wind chakra that scatters in different directions, making it very difficult for one to avoid without injury.
* Due to the properties of this technique, the expelled blasts are capable of piercing into and potentially through an opponent's flesh.

### Summoning Technique—Triple Rashomon (Kuchiyose: Sanjū Rashōmon) (Ch-18)

* The user summons three large gates.
* The gate's doors are tightly shut and solidly built, making it useful as a shield against most forms of physical attack. The stronger the attack, the more damage the attacker will do to themselves when they try and fail to break through the gate.
* The first gate takes the attack head-on, the second reduces the attack's power and the third disperses the pressure, causing all attacks that come in contact with it to lose their power before they can be effective.
* The defensive capabilities of this technique are further boosted by the lack of hand seals required to perform this technique.

### Fire Release—Great Fire Annihilation (Katon: Gōka Mekkyaku) (Ch-19)

* chakra kneaded inside the body is converted into fire, and then expelled from the mouth and shaped into a literal sea of flames, which covers a wide range as well. This makes the technique extremely difficult to either avoid or contain.

### Earth Release—Mobile Core (Doton: Chidōkaku) (Ch-21)

* This technique grants the user the ability to lower or raise the ground in the surrounding area, allowing them to create giant holes or elevations in the ground.
* The size of the affected area as well as the depths that it is lowered or raised to is also up to the user.
* With precise timing, this technique can be used to evade incoming attacks, as well as to endanger opponents by moving them into the path of an oncoming attack reducing their reaction time as well as knocking them off balance, making it even harder to avoid the attack.
* Other than being moved below or above ground — relative to the surrounding surface — the terrain is not altered as plant life and people retain their same positions when this technique is used.

### Ninja art—Sand Tsunami (Ryūsa Bakuryū) (Ch-21)

* Using sand user grinds up rocks and minerals underground into a huge volume of sand that he brings above ground.
* The earth shakes as the sand surfaces, which user then manipulates like a tsunami that he crashes against his targets.
* Targets are battered multiple times by the waves of sand as it spreads throughout the area.
* When the sand settles, the landscape is dramatically altered, taking on the appearance of a barren desert.

### Giant Sand Burial (Sabaku Taisō) (Ch-21)

* After a target has been engulfed by Sand Tsunami, user slams his hands onto the sand and activates this technique.
* As with the regular Sand Burial, the sand compresses upon and grinds down the target, though on a far greater scale than the regular version.
* The large volume of sand used in the Sand Tsunami is flattened out and the target is repeatedly squeezed, preventing them from moving and ultimately crushing them to death.

### Earth Release—Stone Plate Coffin (Doton: Ganban Kyū) (Ch-24)

* This technique allows the user to control multiple sections of rock and move them around their opponent.
* The user then forms two gigantic sections that crush the opponent.

### Chidori Stream (Chidori Nagashi) (Ch-24)

* 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 defence.
* 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 attack can also be channeled through the ground to increase the range of the attack.

### Earth Release—Hidden in Rock Technique (Doton: Iwagakure no Jutsu) (Ch-35)

* This technique allows the user to camouflage themselves with the earth around and move freely through earth surfaces undetected.

### Hell Stab (Jigokuzuki) (Ch-40)

* User concentrates a considerable amount of lightning chakra into just the finger-tips of a single hand and then performs a thrusting motion, which allows him to pierce a target.

### Earth Release—Lightened Boulder Technique (Doton: Keijūgan no Jutsu)

* This technique reduces targets gravity, making it much lighter. The atmosphere, along with their body, can be lightened in order to take flight and increasing their maneuverability.
* With enough practice, the user can control their flight through the sky with specific bodily movements. However, a consequence of using this technique on oneself or another individual is a decrease in the physical force of the affected person's attacks.

### Lightning Release—Chidori Senbon (Ch-68)

* A variation of the Chidori that uses shape transformation to create countless sharp senbon that are fired at the enemy in quick succession.
* By increasing the amount of chakra used, the number of senbon increase proportionally.

### Lightning Release—lateral Bolt of Pain (Raigyaku Suihei) (Ch-71)

* After covering himself in his Lightning Release Chakra Mode, user performs a simple backhanded horizontal chop against his opponent.

### Lightning Release Armor (Raiton Chakura Mōdo) (Ch-72)

* The user wraps their body in a layer of lightning chakra to increase their physical parameters, with more lightning causing greater increases.
* The lightning augments the strength of the user's taijutsu, creating what is called nintaijutsu.
* The lightning also defends the user from most attacks, deflecting them away on contact
* The lightning chakra stimulates the user's nervous system, enhancing their speed and their reaction time.

### Lightning Release—Elbow Bolt (Erubō) (Ch-72)

* After covering himself in his Lightning Release Chakra Mode, user thrusts his elbow at his opponent with extreme force.

### Ninja Art—Shuriken Shadow Clone (Shuriken Kage Bunshin no Jutsu) (Ch-72)

* After throwing a single shuriken, the user duplicates it with their chakra, in the same way that the Shadow Clone Technique makes copies of the user.
* In an instant, the thousand copied shuriken spread throughout the area, surrounding the target. Because the shuriken are physically real, the target is attacked from every direction, which they have almost no chance of completely avoiding.

### Guillotine Drop (Girochin Doroppu) (Ch-72)

* After covering himself in his Lightning Release Chakra Mode, user jumps into the air above his opponent and performs a downwards kick, using the momentum of the fall to increase the power behind the attack.
* This technique is preferably done right after knocking an opponent down to reduce their reaction time.

### Lightning Release—Liger bomb (Raigā Bomu) (Ch-82)

* After covering himself in his Lightning Release Chakra Mode, user grabs his opponent and lifts them high up into the air. Then, using his extreme strength, he smashes them head first onto the ground in what resembles a powerbomb manoeuvre. This is devastating enough to shatter a large area of the ground itself on impact.

### Desert: Hand Desert (Sabaku: Hando) (Ch-92)

* The caster uses their sand to create gigantic hands or claws, which can be used for multiple purposes including crushing, capturing or restraining enemies and other targets.
* The brilliance of this technique is in the strength and sheer size of the constructs which rivals that of a tailed beast. Once the arms lock onto its target, it is near impossible to break free, and one must resort to other methods.

### Wind Release—Beast Tearing Gale Palm (Jūha Reppū Shō) (Ch-93)

* It uses chakra to infuse with and condense a mass amount of wind-chakra to form a massive demonic-like claw extending from the user's hand to strike and grab a target, as well as deflect any weapon or attack.
* Depending on its use, the user can manipulate the size and length of the claw to attack and defend at any range.
* In addition to making it a deadly weapon, the extending claw also carries tremendous force that can devastate anything in its path without affecting the user, making it useful for dislodging solid and heavy objects.

### Fire Release—Dragon Flame Caterwaul (Katon: Ryūen Hōka no Jutsu) (Ch-95)

* User expels several dragon-headed fireballs from their mouth to cover the frontal, left and right side of the opponent.
* As the dragon-heads move in an erratic manner, it makes the technique much more difficult to avoid.

### Wind Release—Rasengan (Fūton: Rasengan) (Ch-95)

* Appears largely identical to a standard Rasengan, but is stronger, and capable of being thrown.
* When used in combination with Water Release-Tearing Torrent, its wind nature can expand the other jutsu's coverage area.

### Water Release—Tearing Torrent (Suiton: Hahonryū) (Ch-95)

* This technique creates water that spirals in the user's hand which fires at a high speed towards the enemy.
* able to be conjured from the surrounding area in the form of a torrential wave.
* It can also be combined with the Wind Release-Rasengan to create the Art of the Hurricane Vortex Technique.

### Combination Technique—Art of the Hurricane Vortex (Gufū Suika no Jutsu) (Ch-95)

* This cooperation ninjutsu uses the wild rotation of the thrown Wind Release-Rasengan to swallow up the water current created by the Water Release-Tearing Torrent, creating a large quantity of water vapour.
* Once invoked, a strong wind whirls around inside the highly concentrated mist, turning it into a solid barrier.
* The mist created by the violent rotation of the Rasengan also has the effect of taking away the enemy's field of vision. Of course, the mist can be used as a smokescreen when escaping, but the confusion it creates can also be used, for instance, to launch a surprise attack.

### Big Ball Rasengan (Ōdama Rasengan) (Ch-96)

* It uses the same concept of compressing spinning chakra in one's palm as in the original Rasengan, only increasing the amount of chakra involved.
* Because there is even more chakra being compressed to a higher density, the ball releases its energy immediately on contact, thus increasing its destructive power beyond the Rasengan's.

### Lightning Release—Four-Pillar Trap (Raiton: Shichū Shibari) (Ch-96)

* Four giant rock pillars are summoned around the enemy, which then shoot bolts of lightning between them, immobilising the target and possibly doing great damage to them.

### Earth Style—Mud Fall (Doton: Nentsuchi Otoshi) (Ch-96)

* A portal opens up in the sky, spewing down a large amount of mud onto the opponent.
* It has been used in conjunction with the Lightning Release-Sixteen Pillar Bind to create a giant oven around the opponent and the Fire Release-Fired Pottery Technique to ignite the oven, hardening the mud that's covering the opponent and immobilizing them.

### Lightning Release—Sixteen Pillar Trap (Raiton: Jūrokuchū Shibari) (Ch-96)

* user creates sixteen giant pillars, which then form a giant oven-like structure to trap the target. It is used after Earth Release-Sticky Earth Drop to cover them in mud and then followed by Fire Release-Fired Pottery Technique, creating flames inside the oven to roast and harden the mud, immobilizing them.

### Fire Release—Fired Pottery Technique (Katon: Suyaki no Jutsu) (Ch-96)

* The user creates powerful flames inside the giant oven created by the Lightning Release-Sixteen Pillar Bind, cooking the opponent until they are burned.
* It's used together with Earth Release-Sticky Earth Drop to harden the mud covering the enemy's body and subsequently immobilising them.

### Reverse Summoning Technique (Gyaku Kuchiyose no Jutsu) (Ch-96)

* Allows the summon to summon user to their location.
* After user has summoned their summon, they can use the Reverse Summoning Technique to transport the summon to another location. User and/or their allies can accompany the animal when this is done giving the user a method of quickly travelling long distances or escaping confinement.

### Lighting Release—Kirin (Ch-121)

* draws natural lightning directly from thunder clouds to supplement the power of his strike and controls it with chakra. Unlike most techniques, which are based on the user's chakra, this one uses the natural lightning, which reaches the ground in 1/1000th of a second.
* If there are no active thunder clouds, the user must create them by using powerful fire techniques to produce the necessary storm conditions.
* Once a lightning source has been acquired, shaping and guiding the lightning to the target requires very little chakra. This technique was powerful enough to completely obliterate a small mountain.
* Using this technique disperses the thunder clouds.

### Ultimate Defence—Shukaku’s Shield (Saikō Zettai Bōgyo: Shukaku no Tate) (Ch-129)

* Using his chakra, user gathers the densest minerals in the soil, compresses their size, and then mixes them together. The resulting sand is formed into a protective shield in front of user, shaped to resemble a miniature Shukaku.
* The Shukaku shield, because of how meticulously it's constructed, is incredibly strong.

### Fire Release—Blast Wave Wild Dance (Katon: Bakufū Ranbu) (Ch-131)

* The user kneads chakra inside their body and converts it into fire, which is then expelled from the mouth in a large stream. The blaze is drawn into a spiral when the user expands their stomach, which will engulf the opponent in a massive vortex, giving them no option to escape, leaving them to suffer and burn.
* If needed, Kamui can be used to draw out a whirlwind, aiding the formation of the fiery spiral.

### Chidori Sharp Spear (Chidori Eisō) (Ch-141)

* This technique uses shape transformation to form the original Chidori into a spear or blade-shape, adapting it for mid-range attacks with a maximum range of about five metres.
* 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.

### Wind Release—Rasenshuriken (Fūton: Rasenshuriken) (Ch-150)

* It is the completed version of the Wind Release: Rasengan, with four large points around the central Rasengan core, giving the appearance of a fūma shuriken. It also gives off a loud screeching noise.
* The Rasenshuriken requires a great deal of chakra to perform.
* After travelling a certain distance or colliding with a target that it can't slice through, the central sphere of the Rasenshuriken detonates, producing a vortex of wind in the immediate area. Within this vortex, countless microscopic wind blades are created.
* The wind blades pierce every cell in the body, disconnecting them from the Chakra circulatory system and so preventing them from providing their physical energy to the chakra-creation process. Because of this, the target loses their ability to create and mould chakra, damage which cannot be healed by medical ninjutsu.

### Barrier Gate Five Seals Technique—Castle Closing Eight Gates (Kekkaimon Gofūjutsu: Hachimon Heijō) (Ch-154)

* This technique requires a scroll on which a blueprint of a particular area will be mapped. When activated, it causes four giant gates to emerge north, east, south, and west of the targeted area. Afterwards, the gates form a barrier around the area.
* This barrier has a very high durability, and anything that makes contact with it is immediately engulfed in flames. The only way to pass through the barrier unharmed is with a special seal.

### Fire Release—Dragon Flame Technique (Katon: Ryūka no Jutsu) (Ch-156)

* The user spits flames from their mouth that, like a dragon's, quickly travel forward in a straight direction. Upon contact with a target, the affected area is engulfed in flames.
* Whereas the Great Fireball Technique will burn everything in the vicinity, the Dragon Fire Technique is more narrowly focused at its initial target, likened to a projectile.

### Earth Release—Buta Futa (Doton: Otoshibuta) (Ch-159)

* The user creates a giant, boar-shaped, earthen lid high in the air that falls on the target, trapping them.

### Fire Release—Searing Migraine (Katon: Zukokku) (Ch-172)

* fires a small fireball that erupts into a giant fire-storm after making contact with a surface, causing widespread destruction to the area.
* Since the flames travel along the ground, and cover such a wide area this is a difficult technique to evade.

### Fire Release—Great Fanned Fire (Sen'en Gōka) (Ch-172)

* User fans his gunbai to unleash three fire whirls that blast the opponent.

### Toad Subjugation Shadow Manipulation Technique (Gamadaira — Kageayatsuri no Jutsu) (Ch-194)

* After infusing chakra into the victim's shadow, the user then sinks into the shadow becoming one with it. This technique temporarily establishes control over the victim's mind and body.
* While the technique is in effect, the victim is temporarily stunned and can serve as a human shield. The user has to hold their breath, but they can talk through the victim.
* As soon as the user's breathing recommences, the technique is cancelled and their ultra-thin body expands again retaking its original thickness.

### Wood Release—Wood Locking Wall (Mokuton: Mokujōheki) (Ch-199)

* An extremely versatile move, this technique uses chakra to activate the roots in the ground and, using the user of the technique as a reference point, makes wooden pillars appear from left and right. The wooden pillars join together in a dome-shape with the user at the centre.
* In the case that the user confronts the enemy at a short distance, the enemy can be locked up inside the dome, catching the enemy in a double sided attack.
* Furthermore, it can function as an easy shelter against an enemy's long-distance attacks

### Wood Release—Great Forest Technique (Mokuton: Daijurin no Jutsu) (Ch-199)

* A technique that changes one's own arm into big trees. Using chakra, the tissues are transformed into trees at the cellular level. Then, by activating the trees, stimulating them to grow rapidly, they lengthen at high speed and fork into many branches.
* It is possible to capture the enemy with these branches and at the same time, if one changes the ends into sharp stakes, turn them into countless, sharp, spear-like piercing weapons.

### Water Release—Super Exploding Water Shockwave (Suiton: Dai Bakusui Shōha) (Ch-212)

* This technique is a larger version of the Water Release-Exploding Water Shock Wave.
* With it, the user spews out a massive amount of water, covering an entire area with crushing waves. The produced ocean of water can be used for further techniques.

### Water Release—Water Shark Bomb Technique (Suiton: Suikōdan no Jutsu) (Ch-212)

* The user manipulates a volume of water with their hand; by thrusting their hand in a direction, the manipulated water is sent in that direction.
* As it moves, the body of water takes the shape of a shark, with additional water following in its wake for as long as the user keeps their hand thrust out.
* Because of how quickly the shark moves and because of how much water there is, it does extensive damage when it impacts something.
* Users can also ride within the water shark as it moves, allowing them to travel faster than they're able to swim.

### Water Release—Giant Vortex Technique (Suiton: Daibakufu no Jutsu) (Ch-213)

* A large volume of water is directed from a preexisting source or expelled high into the air from the mouth; to manipulate so much water at once requires a great deal of chakra.
* Once high enough, it cascades down onto the targeted area, resembling a giant waterfall. The force of this waterfall is great enough to hollow out the ground, washing away everything in the area.
* In the aftermath, whatever remains will appear devastated, as though some sort of natural disaster has just occurred.

### Wood Release—Four Pillar House Technique (Mokuton: Shichūka no Jutsu) (Ch-224)

* By sending chakra into the ground, the roots of the plants are converted into raw materials. This technique allows for a building to be constructed, by forcing accelerated growth.
* The size and shape of the building are taken from the user's imagination or memories.

### Wood Release—Laughing Buddha Technique (Mokuton: Hotei no Jutsu) (Ch-234)

* The user creates a number of gigantic wooden hands that erupt upward from beneath the ground, which then encircle and attempt to restrain a chosen enemy.
* The size of each of these hands is around the size of a tailed beast.

### Wood Release—Deep Forest Emergence (Mokuton Hijutsu: Jukai Kōtan) (Ch-239)

* User creates a dense growth of trees, controlling how it grows using his chakra. The trees' life force is immense enough to split the earth as they sprout and further pierce through any other obstructions they encounter. This growth is also fast enough that it can capture targets before they have a chance to escape.

### Wood Release—All Creation (Mokuton: Shinra Banshō) (Ch-249)

* User causes multiple wood tendrils to rise up from the ground, weaving into a wooden wall around the opponent's limbs binding them in place.
* He then concentrates his chakra into his fist and then strikes the opponent, breaking them free of the woven wooden wall.

### Wood Release—Deep Forest Bloom (Mokuton: Kajukai Kōrin) (Ch-249)

* Taking advantage of the innate properties of Wood Release which allows the user to force trees to grow on any surface at a rapid pace, the user creates a dense forest of flowering trees.
* During the forest's formation, the user can have the branch restrain any target(s) that tries to attack the user before the formation of the forest is complete.
* The pollen produced by these flowers is then released into the atmosphere and when inhaled, renders any afflicted target unconscious. The user can also control where the pollen spreads so it does not affect them nor their comrades.

### Wood Release—Wood Dragon Technique (Mokuton: Mokuryū no Jutsu) (Ch-252)

* The user creates a gigantic wooden dragon, which they can use for a multitude of purposes including restraining a target, or for offensive purposes.
* It also has the ability to absorb chakra from its target, slowly rendering them unable to use techniques by biting into the target and draining them almost in a vampiric fashion.

### Teleportation Barrier (Hiraishin: Dōrai) (Ch-263)

* This barrier technique incorporates the use of the Flying Thunder God formula to erect a barrier space capable of warping away anything that comes into contact with it.
* The subject of the technique is then directed to another location marked by the user’s formula.

### Wood Release—Wood Expulsion Technique (Mokuton: Hōbi no Jutsu) (Ch-277)

* Quickly creating a dome-like structure in the form of a dragon's face, the user is completely surrounded. Taking advantage of the nature of Wood Release, this fūinjutsu substantially weakens incoming attacks whilst protecting the user inside.

### Fire Release—Majestic Nine Flame Dragon Formation (Ch-279)

* Original S ranked fire style ninjutsu created by Ren Tianyou.
* He used fire style’s form change to instantly form nine huge blazing flame dragon which would continuously attack, tiring down the enemy. It was also difficult to block, and its might was also very powerful.

### Ninja Art—Gale Thunderstorm (Ch-280)

* The second original S rank ninjutsu created by Ren Tianyou.
* This ninjutsu required Ren Tianyou to first create a shadow clone.
* And after his large amount of chakra was shared equally between them, he and his shadow clone would simultaneously use lightning and wind nature chakra.
* Furthermore the hand seals required for this ninjutsu was very tedious, even with the speed of making hand seals of Ren Tianyou, he required several tens of seconds to complete.
* This ninjutsu simultaneously summons lightning clouds containing powerful lightning, and huge tornado within the range of these countless thundercloud.
* And at the time of completion of this ninjutsu, those countless terrifying lightning snakes in the sky would enter into these tornados to form a terrifying lightning tornados.
* After that the surrounding within the range would be bombard indiscriminately. At that time, lightning chakra and wind chakra would collide with each other, forming an even more terrifying explosion storm.
* The sharp piercing force of lightning and terrifying cutting power of wind would destroy everything within the range of this attack.

### Wood Release—True Thousand Hands (Senpō Mokuton: Shin Sūsenju) (Ch-373)

* user creates a wooden statue of titanic proportions.
* Thousands of hands originate from the statue's back in countless concentric rows, while its two main hands are clasped, as if in prayer.
* The statue can serve a variety of purposes in battle, from fighting on the user's behalf to defending and even using other techniques. The sheer size of this technique makes it almost impossible to attack the user.
* It can also detach its main self from its main arsenal to increase its mobility to adapt to a situation that requires more speed.

## Genjutsu

### Paralysis Genjutsu (Genjutsu Shibari) (Ch-31)

* As the name suggests, the user binds the opponent in a genjutsu, rendering them incapable of movement.
* This genjutsu can be used on more than one target at the same time.
* Once the target is bound, the user or an ally can rush up to the enemy and deliver a devastating killing blow.

### Demon Illusion—Mirage Crow (Magen: Shinkarasu) (Ch-34)

* This genjutsu traps a victim in a powerful illusion, with no necessary eye contact, however, direct eye contact can still be applied when using this technique.
* When used, the genjutsu projects a torrent of crows, leaving the opponent at the user's mercy.

### Demonic Illusions—Shackle Stakes (Magen: Kasegui no Jutsu) (Ch-66)

* Firstly, this technique requires the use of the Genjutsu: Sharingan.
* The opponent is caught in the illusionary world created by the user, and the victim is tormented with the sensation of having spikes driven through them, taking away their body's freedom.
* At the same time, the physical pain accompanying the illusion reveals that the greatest use this technique has is torture.

### Lightning Illusion—Flash Pillar (Raiton: Raigen Raikōchū) (Ch-69)

* The user discharges electricity through their entire body in the form of an extremely bright light to disorientate their target's vision.
* Once this is done, the user can implant images in their head.
* This gives the user's allies the perfect opportunity to attack the unsuspecting victim.

### Chameleon Technique (Meisaigakure no Jutsu) (Ch-189)

* The user controls the reflection of light around their body using chakra, causing their form, shadow, and even breathing to become invisible to the unaided eye.
* Because they perfectly blend in with their surroundings, the user can sneak up behind an enemy without being noticed.
* Since both their appearance and scent are camouflaged, their presence can only be revealed by the sounds they make.

### False Place Technique (Magen: Kokoni Arazu no Jutsu) (Ch-189)

* This technique layers an illusion over a location, causing it to look like a different location.
* Because of how wide an area the illusion can be placed over, that in turn makes it easy to trick others: any who enter the area will be affected by the illusion and see the false location.
* But to create an illusion on such a large scale and to potentially deceive so many people raises the chances that the trick will be discovered by someone who is familiar with genjutsu.

### Infinite Darkness Technique (Kokuangyo no Jutsu) (Ch-239)

* The user places a hallucinatory darkness on a target's eyesight, causing them to see nothing but black; like being at the bottom of a deep hole.
* Because the target cannot see, they are very vulnerable to attack.

## Taijutsu

### Leaf Whirlwind (Konoha Senpū) (Ch-06)

* The user delivers a series of fast high and low kicks.

### Leaf Great Whirlwind (Konoha Daisenpū) (Ch-06)

* While spinning, the user delivers a series of kicks.
* As they spin faster, they are lifted from the ground, allowing them to kick different areas of their target: first a low kick, then a middle kick, then a high kick. These are finished off with a heel drop.
* As a result of the spinning, targets cannot see the incoming kicks until just before they're struck.

### Dancing Leaf Shadow (Kage Buyō) (Ch-06)

* The user moves close behind a target and carefully matches their movements, following them in the same way that a leaf is followed by its shadow.
* Simply mimicking a target in this way does no harm to them, but it's useful as a setup for other techniques, such as the Front Lotus or the Lions Barrage.

### Lions Barrage (Shishi Rendan) (Ch-06)

* User kicks a target into the air and follows close behind them.
* While in the air, user provokes the target into attacking him, giving him the chance to counter them and, in turn, kick them higher into the air at increasingly greater speeds.
* The higher up they get and the faster they move, the more damage that will be caused to the target when, as his finishing blow, user inevitably kicks them back to the ground.

### Leaf Dragon God (Konoha Ryūjin) (Ch-27)

* It appears to be initiated by an upward spin kick at which point it quickly becomes a tornado. Forming into a dragon with long whiskers, it attacks the target aiming to swallow them, at which point they are cut by the razor sharp winds inside the attack.
* After initiating the attack, the user appears to remain shielded within the base of the tornado as the outward surface of the dragon seems to be solid enough for a person to impact and rebound off of, making the only way to enter the technique once it has been initiated is by being swallowed.
* However, there is one distinct weakness to the technique. Since the Dragon God's true form is that of an ordinary tornado, its attack power is based on rotation. If one enters the attack's centre (Dragon's Eye) while rotating at high speed, it can be dispersed without inflicting damage.

### The Eight Inner Gates (Hachimon) (Ch-28)

* The Eight Gates exist in order to limit the flow of chakra within an individual's body.
* With training, individuals can learn to remove these limiters, referred to as "opening" the gates. With each opened gate, individuals are given access to more and more of their body's chakra, thus increasing their physical strength and speed.
* although opening the gates does briefly give the user power greater than what they're normally capable of, this increased power causes the user serious harm. At a minimum, the user will be fatigued, which can leave them vulnerable to attack if this occurs during combat. In more extreme cases, muscles can tear and bones can break from the strain
* When opening the eighth and final gate, users will die as a consequence, their bodies being unable to survive the immense amounts of chakra flowing through them.

**The Gates:**

1. The **Gate of Opening** (開門, *Kaimon*), located in the brain's left hemisphere, removes the user's mental inhibitions. Opening this gate allows the user to perform the **Front Lotus**, a technique that tires them afterwards. **Ch. 28**
2. The **Gate of Healing** (休門, *Kyūmon*), located in the brain's right hemisphere, increases the user's physical strength. This has the added effect of re-energising the body, enabling it to rapidly recover from exhaustion. **Ch. 28**
3. The **Gate of Life** (生門, *Seimon*), located on the spinal cord, turns the user's skin red when opened. Other effects include the user's pupils disappearing, their hair standing on end, and bulging veins all over their body. Opening this gate allows the user to perform the **Reverse Lotus**. **Ch. 29**
4. The **Gate of Pain** (傷門, *Shōmon*) is located on the spinal cord, Increases the users speed. **Ch. 29**
5. The **Gate of Limit** (杜門, *Tomon*) is located in the abdomen, increases the users strength.
6. The **Gate of View** (景門 , *Keimon*), located in the stomach, increases all the user's abilities. The power that emanates from the user is enough to displace surrounding bodies of water. Opening this gate allows the user to perform the **Morning Peacock**, wherein the user's punches are so fast that friction with the air produces flames. Opening this gate has sometimes been shown to create an aura around the user.
7. The **Gate of Wonder** (驚門, *Kyōmon*), located below the stomach, causes the user's body to secrete a blue sweat. The sweat immediately evaporates, creating an aura around the user that can be mistaken for chakra. Opening this gate allows the user to perform the **Daytime Tiger**, a single punch that creates a pocket of compressed air.
8. The **Gate of Death** (死門, *Shimon*) is located at the heart. Users open this gate by puncturing their chest with their thumb in order to direct the chakra there. While open, the user's heart pumps at maximum speed, granting them power a hundred times greater than they are usually capable of. A "Steam of Blood" (血の蒸気, *Chi no Jōki*) is emitted from the user's pores and hair, resembling a flaming red aura. Opening this gate allows the user to perform the **Evening Elephant** and **Night Guy**. The eighth gate causes the body to continually heat up until it's been cooked from the inside-out, reducing the user to ash.

### Front lotus (Omote Renge) (Ch-28)

* The user delivers an upward kick to their opponent, sending them high into the air. The user follows the opponent along their upward trajectory, taking tight hold of them so that they can't move or escape.
* Once they've reached the peak of the initial kick's arc, the user begins a spinning motion and propels them headfirst towards the ground. The user releases the opponent right before impact and retreats to safety, leaving the opponent to collide with the ground alone.
* Because the Front Lotus requires at least one of the Eight Gates be opened, users are likely to be fatigued afterwards and thus vulnerable to attack.

### Reverse Lotus (Ura Renge) (Ch-29)

* The user first opens at least three of the Eight Gates, removing their body's limitations on their maximum speed. Once this is done, the user - who is so fast that it's difficult to follow their movements - continually strikes the target from multiple directions, pummeling them into the air, and deliver a finishing blow that sends them crashing back to the ground.

### Morning Peacock (Asa Kujaku) (Ch-?)

* The principle of this taijutsu is to rapidly increase the body's abilities by opening up to and including the sixth of the Eight Gates, and then to strike the enemy down with countless punches.
* The technique is started by kicking the enemy into the air, which for most would be an instant kill. The user then jumps into the air in a distinctive stance and begins punching the enemy repeatedly. The punches are so fast, they are set ablaze by sheer speed and friction which in turn creates a peacock-like fan of flames around the opponent. Once the attack is finished, the enemy will be sent crashing back to the ground, covered with the attack's aura.
* The technique is also strong enough to briefly stun a tailed beast as strong as Saiken.

### Lightning Release—Lariat (Raiton: Rariatto) (Ch-73)

* A powerful taijutsu technique whereby the user charges at their opponent, striking them with a Lariat move, which can be coated in chakra.
* A successful strike can blow away a target's entire chest with a direct hit, which may not kill them right away, but will ultimately kill them if they are not treated.
* The attack is rather straightforward, but very quick, powerful and is easily capable of knocking down an opponent.

### Daytime Tiger (Hirudora) (Ch-132)

* After opening the seventh of the Eight Gates, 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. This launches the air pressure at the opponent in the shape of one 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 into a single point. The technique then explodes on command, releasing the built up air pressure in an instant. A massive explosion is created which can be felt a significant distance away.
