Shishi Rendan, 獅子連弾 (Lion Combo)

Rank: "C" Rank

Skill: TaiJutsu

Effect: A Technique that is similar to that of Front Lotus with great Variations towards the technique, and yet not as dangerous to where they launch an opponent in the air, using an amount of combos on the enemy forcing them down to the very ground.

Special: ---

Drawback: Must launch the user into the air.

Description: What occurs is that the user attacks the opponent to launch them up high into the air. As they do so the user jumps afterwards to form up ahead of the opponent. The user then quickly kicks to his left side of the opponent striking the opponent's chest like area, but this is used as a diversion. The first attack is used in order to be blocked as the user quickly does a backhand strike towards the opponent's face, then a one straight punch to the gut of the opponent which sends then towards the ground. The user then finishes with a spinning kick where the user slams their left heel against the center of the opponent just as both hit the ground. This technique however may be changed up slightly too where a user may hit another location of the body, but the initial true hit of the heel is what makes this the Lion Combo.

Limit: Must be a TaiJutsu Specialist.

The weather was rather cool just outside Konohagakure. The sun was out with a few plump clouds flying about. It was just an hour past noon, a good time for training a new technique. He decided that what he needed was to work on some Taijutsu. Behind him was a metal fence with a gate. In front of him a small river and to his lift, three large, wooden poles in the ground and some way to the right, a forest. He brought with himself his own training dummy. It was mainly a large piece of wood that was hollowed out, yet still sturdy while he wrapped a type of padding around it so he didn't hurt himself.

This technique he was going to learn is a bit tricky, but he decided he would take it one step at a time. He set up the block of wood he brought a couple meters away before backing up a few steps. He then ran at it before falling to the ground, sliding as he used the right leg to ram his foot up on the block of wood at an angle to get it in the air.when he did it only went up a few feet as he kicked it incorrectly. Lance stood himself back up before backing away again. Deciding to go at a new approach this time.

He thought maybe perhaps a shunpo could be useful as his body then flickered away. Lance was puns in front of the block of wood, but down on a hand and knee as the right leg shot straight up into the wood. This launched it considerably higher. Though he was about to shunpo again but he took too long as he admired the success of the launch and missed his chance to continue. That was fine with Lance though as he decided he would first of work on getting it in the air, mastering that to be able to get it every time.

After a few more times of getting it right to launch in the air, Lance decided it was time to move on. He started off a few meters away again, before body flickered away. Now found beneath the wooden block he kicked straight up. Then near instantly his body flickered away once again. He was now above the block of wood as he spun and slammed his left heel upon it. Tough he missed his mark and ended up kicking the wood behind him, messing up the chain of attacks as he fell to the ground.

Before he continued, he thought to himself. Maybe it would be better to give it an axe kick so it'd go straight down? He decided to test his theory out as he was again had kicked the wooden block in the air, body flickered away, only to be above the wooden block with the leg raised. The leg then dropped straight down and his heel crashed down upon the wooden block near what would be the chest area of the opponent. As it was padded, it was able to comfort the kick so he could continue, he made a fist only to turn a bit to give a backhand strike with the left hand.

At that moment he realized something. He cut off the chain of attacks as dropped to the ground, the block landing with a low thumping sound. He realized that the opponent could easily see the attack coming if he was above. He decided maybe it'd be best to go from below. If the opponent was in the air, they would be completely confused if he was just below him in the air, the opponent wouldn't be able to see him. He could spin his body around and use his heel to kick down upon their chest, that would startle the opponent so it'd give his backhand a better chance at striking. He smiled some at his idea of the new approach that he would try out.

[Lance Uchiha]

Lance went at it as he did before. Starting with the shunpo, only to lead to the kick that launched the wooden block quite a few meters into the air. This only lead to another shunpo. Now under the block, parallel to it, he was able to now spin his body to smash the heel downwards, but he couldn't properly spin as he fell to the ground. He only got back up as the wooden block fell shortly after he did. It was more difficult than he thought to actually spin around it. Something needed to obviously change. He decided to possibly move his center of gravity up to his chest so when he spin, he didn't accidentally move downwards and miss.

He decided to go with the new strategy, consisting of a center of gravity change. Lance of course started out with the shunpo, and managed to get the wooden log into the air once more. Again with the shunpo to be under it. He adjusted the point he'd spin using and was able to properly get over the wooden log this time. From that he quickly brought his heel down upon where the chest would be, though this was only supposed to be blocked intentionally. The real attack was his backhand spinning in toward the top of the log, striking the pad before using the other hand to smoothly transition into a straight punch towards where the face would be as well, this sent it to the ground. Though it was sent down a lot faster than he expected.

As it went down faster than he could react, he wasn't able to put in the final attack as he fell back to the ground. He was panting some due to this was the farthest into the technique he had gotten. His hands hurt as this was padded, it was still a wooden block that stung a bit per strike now. The pain was bearable as it quickly wore off with a minute of rest. He then began moving his fingers around, massing his knuckles one hand at a time before he got ready to once again attempt the technique. Hopefully he's be able to get one correct this time.

He got into s stance once more, then leaning forward, about to take a step before his body flickered away. It was found below the wooden log, foot quickly shot straight up in the air, drilling into the log as it was launched some meters in the air. Once Lance made contact his body disappeared again. He was now hidden underneath the wooden log, parallel to it in the air as he swiftly spun his body around while simultaneously extending out the left leg as he spun around to the left. Lance only then crashed his leg down upon the log. The only was used to allow him the ability to spin the back of his hand around, striking the upper part of the log, before using the other hand to make a fist, giving a straight to the upper part. This knocked it down only some as he spun once more, bringing his leg down upon the log, sending it crashing into the ground.

Lance had once again made it to the ground. Bent forward, hands on knees as he panted. This was the first time he had actually gotten it right. Though it may have just been luck, it was only once. He still needed to continue practicing, and so, he would. He took a short break to regain his breath though before he began to start back up on it again.

Also, for the record, Lance Uchiha temporarily suspended this training: link to train this (notify a staffer first next time you decide to stop training one thing and then another since you're not supposed to be in two training threads at the same time ^^)

I pm'd you I was stopping it and in ooc as well. Though I'm sorry that it was probably confusing then. Next time if I do something like this I'll try to clear it up more. Thank you!

[Lance Uchiha]

Lance recapped what he was going to do, and what he has done. He decided to come in from below his opponent when he did the initial attack. Now he just has to practice it a bit till he perfects it. He has it down partly, just has to put it all into effect and combine it all into the combo. He was sweating moderately from the work has has done, though he expects he should finish up soon.

He looked over at the wooden log, body flickering away as he was now below it, launching the kick upwards. His kick though was slightly off and it didn't get the height he wanted. He scrunched his eyebrows a moment before it fell back to the ground. He then once again was under it from a shunshin, the kick this time was enough to launch it high enough. He then disappeared again, now under the log for a moment before Lance spun himself. Simultaneously his foot extended out while moving towards its left side and around, doing a sideways axe kick near the chest, this though was only a bit off, but that didn't effect the technique.

He continued by giving the near top of it a spinning back fist. That only lead Lance to cock a fist with the other hand, giving a straight to where the face would be. Lance then attempted to spin and give his heel down upon the torso once more, but messed up the timing and hit the wrong spot, causing it to be ineffective.

He was upon the ground now. Lance almost had it that time, he was near completing it as he raised the right hand, wiping sweat off his head as he took a moment to relieve himself of panting to go for it again. With regained composure, Lance let out a breath of air before going after the wooden log once more, nearing completion at that.

Lance used the kick that he used several times already. This launched the wooden log several meters within the air, plenty of room for him to complete the technique before now appearing under the log, parallel to it for a moment, spinning To the left now, heel ramming down near the center of it before instantly giving the back fist. He only then smoothly transitioned into a straight punch from the previously cocked fist. Only one thing was left as he gave one final kick. His heel crashing upon near the center before launching it rocketing towards the ground.

After completing it perfectly again, Lance grew a small smile on his face. He was tired, sweating as he landed on the ground soon after. Though training wasn't over. He decided to do it a couple more times perfectly in a row before ending it for the day...

[Lance Uchiha]

The sun was just starting to show upon the land of Konohagakure. Most people were still asleep within their homes. Lance on the other hand wasn't. He could be found training, yes training, this early in the morning. He learned about a muse have technique, and decided to learn it. Besides, this technique had so many uses.

Lance currently wore his normal attire when he wasn't out doing anything, but at home at the Uchiha residence. He had on a black pullover hoodie with the inside of the hood red, and the edges of the sleeves were red as well, which he had pushed up to the elbows. He also wore a light pair of black sports pants to go with it.

Lance noticed there were two types of the shunshin technique, one that used chakra, the other using pure Taijutsu. He figured chakra would be a bit easier to learn, but what if he needed it yet a was out of chakra? He then settled on the Taijutsu one. Lance found out earlier while he was at the library, where he discovered the technique, that the Taijutsu version relied on stressing out the muscles in the legs to move at untraceable speeds.

Lance stretched his legs out and began initiating the technique. He stressed out the muscles on his legs, and moved forward, body flickering away, though a mere 2 meters ahead of the initial spot, Lance was found laying on the ground. Lance winced in pain for a moment. He wasn't expecting if to hurt like this. He already figured if he did learn this technique, he could only use it few times before he couldn't fight anymore.

Lance stood himself back up again, looking forward, about 10 meters. He then moved forward again. And yet again, Lance was flat on his face about 4 yards ahead. He already realized this wasn't going to be an easy task to handle.

[Lance Uchiha]

Lance was up on his feet once again. After a few more times of practicing he was actually able to move without falling flat on his face... key word, without falling. Lance was still a bit shaky. He decided to take a break before going at it again, only to rest up his legs.

Once Lance was feeling a bit better, he thought he'd need to work on the direction. From what he had done earlier, he wasn't even close to his mark. This time, he aimed his legs in the direction. Hoping for about 10 meters. Lance moved forward, though ended up in a different direction, he was a few meters to the right of where he wanted to be. He decided to try again, but with the right leg as the lead instead. When Lance moved, he was a few meters to the left. At that, Lance figured he had to aim his hips better !

This time, by learning from his mistakes, Lance stood with hips facing the direction he wanted to go. He moved forwards, though in the right direction, he was too far off from his mark. He had to work on his timing of when to stop. The direction was correct, but the precision, was very poor. He assumed maybe stopping exactly where he wanted would be a bad idea.

Instead, Lance thought ending a tad early is what he needed? Maybe he needed time to actually slow down. If he stopped two seconds earlier, perhaps he would land at the desired spot. Lance had decided that it would be better to start at five meters of distance. It would be easier for him to contain where he was going.

[Lance Uchiha]

Lance readied his hips. Pointing them in In the right direction. He was gonna try 5 meters, but he thought perhaps that wouldn't give him enough time to do even go anywhere before stopping, so he decided to go for 10 meters.

By now Lance was sweating heavily. It wasn't easy doing this so many times. His legs were sore and hurt like hell. Luckily he had taken breaks in moderation so he could continue the training. After a moment, he picked a spot, about 10 meters away. Lance then moved forwards, body flickering away as he only left a cloud of dust, then about 3 meters before the designated spot, he stopped, only to then be within 1 meter of the spot he wanted to be at.

Lance gave out a sigh of relief. He had finally accomplished getting on target. Though by just doing it once, that meant he didn't have an excuse to fail again. Lance figured he could attempt this only a few more times. He had better make them count.

Lance decided to practice the same thing a couple more times to make sure he got it taken care of. Every time he did so he was within a meter of the spot he wanted to. Lance was more exact with each attempt, until he nailed it perfect. By then, lance had fallen to his knees, exhausted while his legs felt like jell-o.

It's not bad, but make sure to keep at it. Try adding a bit more detail, personal thoughts, and even what your character is thinking. Try to be creative, but overall just keep doing your best!

[Lance Uchiha]

Lance needed to take a break for a few. He obviously needed the feeling within his legs to be able to continue. So, Lance took a seat within the shade for a few minutes. He then decided what he was going to do to finish up the technique.

A hand rise, wiping the sweat off his forehead. So far, he was able to actually do the shunshin. He worked on the direction, which wasn't perfect. He also worked on precision, which also could use some work. Lance figured he would work on hitting a specific spot. He figured to be able to rely on this technique in battle, he'd need it to be exact.

After a few more minutes, he confirmed what he'd do to finish off this technique. He stood himself out, stretching the leg. Simultaneously he looked around for a suitable spot to aim for. He then found a telephone pole. He decided to shunshin next to it and give it an attack.

Lance then took action, he first aimed his hips. Making sure he was on target, which was about 10 meters away. Then, his body flickered away, only to then appear only a few feet from the telephone pole. Once there, he spun on the right foot, smashing his heel into the pole as he spun it around.

At that, Lance lowered his foot down. He had successfully done the shunshin. To confirm this, he decided to do the same on the way back. He looked towards the initial spot, hips turned, moved to take a step forward. When he moved, his body flickered away. Only now at his initial position.

Lance was found panting now. He couldn't continue this anymore. And fell to his knees. His legs aches and burned as he closed his eyes for a bit. He sighed, placing hands upon his calves, rubbing them some.

The Stance

Rank: "E"

Skill: TaiJutsu/Supplementary

Effect: Stance is a crucial part of using any weapon. This is the basic stance technique.

Special: ---

Drawback: ---

Description: Begin with the feet in a 90° comfortably separated at about half a shoulder's width apart. Center the weight on the rear leg. When throwing the user shifts their weight to the front. This causes the hips and shoulders to twist into the throw forcing the body's power into the throwing arm. After the throw is complete recover by returning to the original stance to ready the next throw.

Limit: Must be a Throwing Specialist.

It was a bright, sunny day at Konohagakure. Clouds covered the sun mostly today, though they rolled by as usual. The streets were bustling like usual, people rushing to do their business. Lance on the other hand, was training. he decided he needed to work on his throwing. it would be useful in combat to be able to throw farther than a few meters, and especially throw effectively.

Lance noticed the first thing, a must do thing, to start with was the proper stance. It didn't seem hard, as it was a rather basic stance at that. All he had to do was to make his feet perpendicular from each other, 90 degree angle. Seemed simple. Though, he also needed to put his weight on his back leg, which his his case, would be the right leg, though he'd be able to do it with both.

Lance got to work and started with heels together. He kept the first foot forward, that being the left leg. Lance then slid back the right leg, near shoulder length apart, and kept it at 90 degrees. He slid the front foot forward and back some. he did the same with the back foot until he felt he was in a solid, comfortable stance. At that, he bent the back leg back slightly as he rested his weight upon it.

He decided to practice some by shifting his weight over multiple times. After a bit he lifted his arm, with that arm he acted as if he were actually throwing something. Though the only reason he practiced a few times was because he had to move his arm in an arc while in sync with him transferring his weight. After a few more attempts, he became a lot more dead on, until he was able to perfectly move his arm while shifting his weight over.

The Grips

Rank: "E"

Skill: TaiJutsu/Supplementary

Effect: The user learns how to grip their weapons through two types of Grips, the Handle Grip, and the Blade Grip.

Special: ---

Drawback: ---

Description: Handle Grip: While throwing a weapon from the handle keep it centered if center of balance is possible. If not then hold it at the end of the handle. Balance is key. The thumb should be resting against the inside of the handle while the remaining fingers curl around it. When you throw the item travels vertically leading to the best speed and hitting power for long distances. When throwing by the blade, grip the item at the end of the blade with the thumb parallel with the blade. The rest of the fingers curl against the opposite side.

Limit: Must be a Throwing Specialist.


It was a rather sunny day, Lance had recently learned the proper stance for throwing, and now, he was on to the next step. It was time to learn how to properly grip it. Lance learned that he needed to have a kind of balance with it. He then started playing around with a kunai, balancing it on a finger and such. As he did so, the kunai kept falling off his hand, though he caught it with the other hand.

Lance then, once balancing it on his finger, gripping his hand around near center of the handle. He shifted his hand up and down the handle, trying to find the center of gravity. Once he found it, he shifted his feet into the proper stance. Thus, Lance threw the kunai at a pole that was 10 meters away. Though, it wasn't very good due to not knowing the proper way to throw it. But, because of the stance and grip, it was better than normal.

Lance picked up the kunai once more after he strode out towards it. He then shifted his hand up and down the handle again, trying to find the center of balance. He balanced it on his hand some, finding it shortly after before grabbing it again. he then pushed the right leg back into a the proper stance once more, legs shoulder width apart. lance then threw the Kunai as he twisted his body. The kunai traveled longer and faster than normal due to the grip and stance, but could be better if he knew the proper ways to throw.

The Overhand Throw
Rank: "E"
Skill: TaiJutsu/Supplementary
Effect: The basic throw stance while using an overhand throw.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: The user first establishes their stance, and their grip type. The user brings the throwing arm up as it is adjacent to the ear while shifting their weight. Then release the weapon just before the end of the throwing motion.
Limit: Must be a Throwing Specialist. Must know The Stance. Must know The Grips.

Lance had previously learned the grips, and the stance. If you put two and two together, he obviously had to learn how to throw! So then, Lance pulled out a kunai. He first gripped it within his hand. Fingers curled around the handle near the center of it, giving the kunai perfect balance within his hand. Lance then spread his legs shoulder width apart, ninety degrees. His weight was back upon the right leg, as it was the one in  the back. The proper way to throw using the stance is to move your weight up to the front foot. The left arm then rose up to near the ear, then quickly twisting his body, weight shifting to the front foot as the kunai was released from his grasp at the apex of the throw. This gave it the best speed and power, as well as accuracy as it cut through the air, only to strike that of a wooden post some distance away.

The Underhand Throw

Rank: "E"

Skill: TaiJutsu/Supplementary

Effect: The basic throw stance while using an underhand throw.

Special: ---

Drawback: ---

Description: The user first establishes their stance, and their grip type. The user brings their throwing arm adjacent to the hip. The user then thrusts their arm forward, propelling and releasing the weapon just before the end of the throwing motion.

Limit: Must be a Throwing Specialist. Must know The Stance. Must know The Grips.


Lance previously learned the Stance, the Grip, and the Overhand Throw. All that was left now for him was the underhand. He figured it would be very useful. Especially is he was moving around a lot and had to throw a kunai or something quickly while doing so. If he were at a bad angle, he could perhaps change how he threw it, underhand might just be what he needs. This would give him a lot of diversity in how he could throw. Lance thus spread the legs shoulder width apart. Now about 90 degrees. Within the hand was a kunai. His hand shuffled up and down the grip before it stopped near center. This was ideal for the proper balance he needed for the Kunai. He then had his weight upon that of the back leg, his right, and held the kunai near waist level. Only then he took target on a pole a distance away. Weight shifting up to the front leg, his body twisted as he underhandedly threw the kunai, his hand moving like he was skipping a stone almost. Though at the apex, instead of a rock, was a kunai that shot out. It launched through the sky, piercing the air as he struck the pole with a thump, digging into it due to the speed and power.
