Way of The Dragon

## **Introduction**

The Way of the Dragon is a Kuchiki Clan martial art created by Kuchiki Susanoo. The martial art was created after Susanoo completed his hundred year dojo busting run. After battling in Hakudo for a hundred years Susanoo sat down and began to write down his moves, and the moves of his disease opponents into one style, The Way of The Dragon.

## **Basic Principles**

The Way of The Dragon is a Hakudo style. However many of the moves can also be used in Zenjutsu, and are effective with the combination of Kido. The Way of The Dragon is a overall encompass of all of these elements. As a result The Way of The Dragon is not strictly a Hakudo art.

The first basic principle of The Way of The Dragon is that a Dragon must have full control of their body before they can fly. This means that the student must train themselves to the most peak of physical condition. Not only that, but they must develop such a fine sense of Proprioception in both the inside and outside of ones body. The user must also understand the knowledge of biomechanics

The second principle of the school is as folllowing. "Any Dragon that wishes to fly must know how to control their own winds. Only with the winds does a dragon rise and soar thought the sky." This principle focus around the martial artist not only knowing how to control and manipulate their reitsu, but also their spiritual pressure. Many of the advance martial moves require fine control over the Reiatsu.

The last principle of the Way of the Dragon is simple. "A Dragon is most dangerous not when it is attacking, but when it is thinking." That means Think before you fight. Simple.

## **Basic Moves**

Dragon's Whiskers - One infuses their reitsu into their hair. The user can freely control their hair as if it is a part of their body. The user can block with it, attack with it, and even use it to make hand signs to deliver messages.

Hoho - All practitioners of Way of The Dragon study and master the arts of Hoho. Hoho principles are used in many of the later moves, and without it the dragon can not fly.

Reitsu Control - User of The Way of The Dragon knows how to spin, straighten, and and shape their reitsu. They know how to explode it ,and condense it.

Dragon's Bones - User of the Way of The Dragon infuse their reitsu into every cell of their body energizing them, and protecting them from harm. This allows them to strike with greater force, and to take greater punishment.

## **Simple Moves**

Reitsu Deflection - One of the more simple moves is the act of deflecting a Reitsu base attack from a opponent. One moves their onw Reitsu like water and striking the opponents reitsu in a perpendicular angle in which the reitsu is flowing. Rather than attack the opponents Reitsu head on the user deflects it by attacking it's weak side and knocking it off course.

Reitsu Barrier - The user swirls their reitsu around themselves close to their body. The spinning motion and condense reitsue prevents attacks from getting thought and deflects some of the force away from the users body.

Flurry of Blows - The user Shumpo their arms instead of thier legs to attack rapidly

## **Advance Moves**

* **Dragon Twiser** - The user gatheres their reitsu around their arm, sword, or whatever their choice of wepaon. They then swing the object sending their reitsu out. It then spins around picking up wind in it's spin, and turns into a twister of air.
	+ **Flaming Dragon Twister** - Shinpo Required - The user sends the Reitsu spinning picking up spiritual particles. The winds move as fast as light causing the air to ignite into a blaze. That blaze draws in more air forming a blazing tornado that spins faster than the speed of light.
	+ **Multi Dragon Twister** - The user creates a Dragon Twister and then infuses either their reitsu or a Kido spell into the after images. This allows the user to create more than one twister at the same time.
* **Dragon Fang-** Focus ones Reitsu around their arm, leg, weapon, or any mode of attack. The user then spins it around the limb at shumpo level speeds. Then they explode it outward to strike at a opponent.
	+ **Shenlong's Fangs** - One spins the reitsu past the speed of light and explodes it outward with the heat following it. The Reitsu takes the form of a Dragon. This Dragon can be manipulated by more advance users. It can also be embued with a Kido spell
	+ **King Ghidorah's Maw** - The user turns the after images from Shenlong's Fangs real attacking opponets with a mutlit head dragon.
* **Dragon Sphere** - The user takes their reitsu and condenses it to the point that it becomes near solid. They then spin it around themselves at Shumpo level speeds. The Reitsu then forms a barrier that deflects incoming attacks
	+ **Greater Dragon Sphere** - The User performs the same move, but instead spins it past the speed of light. They also create several after images of the sphere real as well and uses them as a extra layer of defense. This creates a nearly impenetrable sphere of reitsu.
* **Dragon Blast** - The user creates a small ball of reitsu. They spin it one direction. They then create another ball around it and spin it in the opposite direction. They repeat this process till they have thirty layers or move. The spinning ball of Reitsu pulls in air and the heat from the multi spins causes it to catch on fire and form a burning ball of flames that can be sent out.
	+ **Shenlong's Blas**t - It is the same as Dragon Blast, but instead of simply creating heat the layers are spent at the speed of light and shot forward at a target. The target hit is then grinned down to its finest particles by the spinning sphere of reitsu and heat.
	+ Shenlong's Wrath - Same as Shenlong's Blast, but instead they don't shoot it. Instead they let it suck in even more air, which then pulls the enemies into it. The flame the burns all in range to crisp.
* Dragon First - When one strikes a opponent they send their Reitsu inside of their opponent. It combines with their own forming a new type of reitsu that violently ejects itself from the targets body. This move causes hollows to outright explode. On others it simply causes devastating delayed punches.
	+ **Quivering Dragon Fis**t - One creates a vibration inside of their body in their reitsu. When they strike a opponent they sent hat Reitsu into thier body which carries the vibration. This causes the enemy reitsu to vibrate and tears their body apart from the inside.
	+ Shenlong Claws - The user vibrates their reituse at speeds faster than light. When they strike a opponent the vibrations break down the bonds holding them together. It shatters enemy defenses, causes them to explode, or simply rip them apart.
* **Dragon's Rising** - The user sends their reitsu into a swirl around a enemy reitsu. They keep their Reitsu either cold or hot, depending on the enemies reitsu. Using the enemy own emotions the user creates a twister out of the swirling reitsu and sends it back at the enemy in the shape of a dragon. This move takes the enemy own power and turns it against themselves.
