General Ninja Techniques

Unlike Ninja/Taima Arts these are techniques which every Taimanin is able to learn with the help of Taima Particles.

This also includes "normal Ninja" abilities, these are often still supernatural and either use Taima Particles or Spiritual Energy.

## Main Techniques

Some of these techniques can be furthered strengthened by the use of Kuji-kiri (hand-signs). The ability to use these effectively differs strongly from every individual Taimanin.

### Taima Particle Control

Can charge weapons or the body with Taima Particles, which makes most weapons and even the body into a deadly anti-demon weapon. Without it, no other techniques can be used.

### Increased Physical Attributes

Increased reflexes, strength, defense, agility and endurance without excessive muscle growth. Puts them on the level of top athletes or above. Grants pain resistance and increased jump height but does not make one immune to bullets, blades or one's own temper.

### Demonic Detection

A passive ability. Enables, a sixth sense to detect demonic forces nearby. This ability can not pinpoint the location of a demon target and just creates unease for buildings or large rooms. Some powerful demons can also hide their presence fully if they desire to do so, making this skill useful but not perfect.

The demonic detection can also be strengthened by the signs: Rin (Power), Byou (Energy), Tou (Harmony), Ja (Healing), Kai (Intuition), Jin (Awareness), Retsu (Dimension), Zai (Creation), and Zen (Absolute) but this still leaves one open to attacks.

### Demonic Immunity

A passive ability. Grands an above level of immunity towards otherwise demonization inducing elements like Miasma, magic or demonic cells. Taima Particles can destroy demonic cells in the body, but can be overpowered with a wavering will or weakening health.

### Flash Step

Not to be confused with Teleportation or Invisible Speed. Shukuchi or Flash Step uses bursts of speed to move faster than the eye can track, making it seem as if one has teleported. Creates in some cases afterimages.

### Vibrational Communication

Shown in light novels, manga, visual novels and other material. Enables user to send vocal messages with slight vibration to a target. Targets hear the words normal, but people around them are unable to hear it unless also targeted. Communication is one way unless two Taimanin communicate or somebody learned this skill otherwise. The distance depends on the skill of the users. Very useful ability, which almost all Taimanin have to avoid communication with electronic devices which could be hacked or give their position away.

### Inhuman Blood Art

An ancient art which charges the blood with "Ki/Spiritual Energy/Life force" with concentration, this makes it into a poison for vampires. Asagi learned this technique as an alternative to her awakening form, to fight off Black and Vampire Oboro.

Used in the "light novel" of Taimanin Asagi: The Dark Game "蠱血の術" in the manga, not explained beyond being a poison.

### Bedroom Arts

Also called erotic or seduction techniques, use seduction or resistance techniques. By either using one's own special Ninja Art in different ways or Taima Particles/Spiritual Energy on the right parts of a body this can grant the user some strange abilities, which can enslave others or kill them. In rare cases, true experts can also grand a one time defensive technique to amateurs.

"Inki Stream" or "Climax Diversion" is a technique used by those Taimanin often at risk of getting captured by demons and can avoid climaxes, was used often by Mizuki Shiranui and in the distant past by Mochizuki Chiyome.

### Clone Techniques

Cloning, can be a pure illusion by fast speed afterimages, result of mental tricks, disguises of body doubles or elemental clone dummies. This technique has been only seen to be used by powerful Taimanin, and the number of clones seems to be limited.

### Razor Wind

Pressure Strike, Vacuum Blast, Kuretsusen, all names which could apply here. Thanks to the super speed, certain attacks can create flying slash shockwaves if done by a strong enough user, without it being a Wind Art. Typically seen in games like Action Taimanin.

## Disciplines/Styles

All Taimanin learn the basic fighting techniques of:

* Taijutsu (unarmed combat)
* Shurikenjutsu (throwing weapons techniques)
* Kenjutsu (sword techniques)

After a Ninja Art awakening, most start to use a dedicated weapon, which supports their own art. Full mastery is not required to pass Gosha Academy.

Outside of combat or to support combat, these disciplines are also thought:

* *Hensōjutsu* (disguise and impersonation)
* *Shinobi-iri* (stealth and entering methods)
* *Sui-ren* (water training)
* *Chōhō* (espionage)
* *Intonjutsu* (escaping and concealment)
* *Bōryaku* (tactics)

Katana Users, can enter different schools including the:

* Omine style: Widespread main style of Taimanin, known user is Omine Nana.
* Itto (-ryu) Style: Thought by Akiyama Rinko in Akiyama Dojo. Also called "Ace Katana Style or single Katana style".
* Nen Style: A thrust based style. Used by Kiichi Azusa.
* Shinkenryu (しんけんりゅう): Used by Isozaki Iori

## Tools

Minor everyday tools for Taimanin.

* Communicator
* Taimanin Suit
* Antidote kit
* Kunai and Shuriken
* Wingsuit
* Facemask

## Trivia

* Though the Omine style has been named as the most used one, almost no named Taimanin is a user of it.
* The Bedroom art is a general ninja technique as people like Igawa Asagi (ZERO) and Aishu Hebiko were able to learn or "borrow" in the case of Asagi, these skills. Both do not share an art design for seduction.
