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.



Shin'ichi being as adventurous as he is, he seems to always want to delve into the arts of the ninja. he takes one of his kunai from the wire hanging from his belt and holds it in an awkward way with the blade in hand, he shifts his feets in a weird way putting him off balance. one of the trainers who specializes in body the throwing of knives and other items  "what do you think you're doing, you've got it all wrong"Shin'ichi looks at him and stares for a couple seconds "then how am i supposed to do it, if you are so inclined to show me" the trainer takes the knife and takes a his feet in a loose 90° degree angle, separated about half of his bulky shoulder. he seems to put his weight on the back leg he then repeats a weird motion back and forward. he moves his weight forward by leaning forward, by doing so his hips and shoulders twist into the throw the weight in the front was forced into the throw launching the knife into the target. "there now you try it" he hands Shin'ichi the kunai and shows him how to hold it in a basic stance. Shin'ichi takes a 90° stance still stiff worried he might get it wrong. he puts the weight in his back foot then leans forward putting the weight in his front leg causing him to twist his hip and shoulder launching the knife. the knife doesn't hit the target because it span out and hit the ground. the trainer puts his hand on Shin'ichi's shoulder "well atleast you got the stance down."

Tamako had been observing this pair from the start, it seems they were only training how to throw a kunai, easy as that. Sitting on the rooftop she had her Byakugan activated to try and spot something interesting. While watching the pair her mind entered a short slumber from the boredom, it has been weeks before she could try blow up another shipment. Her small dream about the past was one of getting to know lightning, literally.

She was just a little over 11 years old when the rest of her Hyuuga decided she should take her training more seriously. Of course they meant Jyuuken, it was what they constantly insisted she learnt however her father would not take care of that himself. Instead he deliberately sabotaged her training since the time she has discovered his plot to kill her mother with a lightning strike or so she thought. Her memories were still fresh even now, at the time of murder she had been around to see that quick flash of light before she ran away. That fateful night Tamako couldn't sleep thanks to the tornado that was destroying quite a nice chunk of Konoha. Maybe it was also because of this fact, that Tamako has never told anyone about the murderer, nobody would believe her on this rainy day plus all she knew where the branch members who are just too powerless. Nonetheless she knew immediately when she saw this unnatural flash of light, how could she describe it? It was more yellowish than normal lightning, it was too brief and it was inside the house too.

If she recalled right, some lightning jutsus had a similar vibe about it, you'd have to be hit by one to know. Tamako has rigorously learnt about the conductivity of this phenomenon, it was really deadly when used right. For instance when one stands on top of a wet towel, a small lightning jutsu, very weak at that can perfectly kill you. The young Hyuuga didn't know how to perform a lightning jutsu, she most likely didn't have the affinity for it however she had asked several people about their craft. Tamako has been shown many lightning jutsus that she could even remember their names and handseals. She thought it was pretty easy and straightforward but these handseals were always a problem, they didn't go well with a Hyuuga's palm attacks. Oh yes, she has also asked several academy teachers to explain this nature to her. When processing all of these facts she gained, there was no doubt in her head whether the murder was done with such a jutsu.

One of the most basic lightning jutsus was the Raiton - Raikyuu (Lightning Ball). With this technique one could create a ball of lightning capable of being hurled towards anything they wished for. There were about 3 or 4 handseals needed to perform this technique, this number was actually subject to change due to the user's skill. The theory of how these things worked was important but the practical viewing of the chakra nature with the Byakugan was a different matter. Of course viewing was easier and faster, but she also needed to pick upon the little details. When raiton is used, the user's hair usually contracted some electricity making them stand a little, the currents would sometimes crackle, or make an interesting noise. The trick was however to see and know this chakra nature was used before the technique even finished.

Tamako snapped herself back into reality, that's right, she was still watching this kid who looked older than her throw a kunai. Was this guy this weak? she thought after him not succeeding in the throw. His instructor had to show him how it was done.

(Hi, thought I'd jump in and get to know your character xD. The training's not bad, are you really new? lol If you want your training to be graded fast though, you need to PM staff members, I just did for us.)

+5 Shin

Not bad,  just keep in mind that most of us here like to see 4-5 good paragraphs for 10s. But this is a 5, and stances are boring as hell to train... so there.
