Ushiro Otoshi Rank: "D" See Description Skill: TaiJutsu Effect: A Back Breakfall controlled in which most of the impact is absorbed by the arms or legs. Special: --- Drawback: May learn up to 6 Times. Description: Picture Technique performed while user is lying, sitting, kneeling, and standing. In the standing position. User stands up straight. Bends their knees and lowers their butt close to the ground, and places one foot slightly behind them. The user rolls onto their back tucking their chin to their chest with a curved spine. User rolls onto their back and slaps the ground with palm down 45° from the body to absorb the shock of the fall. When first learning the user must train 10 TP. Each additional learning the user must train an additional 5 TP on top of the TP needed to learn the technique previously. Example: Learning the technique a 3rd time takes 20 TP while learning the technique the 6th time takes 35 TP. Each time learned the user may reduce 15% of damage caused by falls. Limit: Must learn from an Aikido Master. Must know the Aikido Stances.
Spectre saw what the blind man was doing and simply braced and blocked as well as he could. The blind man was being really fancy in his attacks or so it appeared. This blind man was definitely more the martial artist than he ever would be. The jab was easily redirected using the basic forms of Aikido but the jump kick that came flying at him not so much. In aikido he should redirect it somehow.
But his Aikido was real basic as he practice more in the esoteric than the reality. So while physically imposing he was a novice where it counts. But he did have the natural reactions needed for martial arts surprisingly enough. So when the kick came through on the high he was able to get his arm in the way to block the effectiveness of it. But the power was such that it was only so successful.
The contact was a hard clack as the Blind man's shin contacted something harder than skin. For Spectre had an exoskeleton of hard bone and the clash would have hurt them both. Kuroki was thrown with the force flying sideways until he hit the dirt. But he remembered his lessons to land at just the right way to roll back into a ready position. He was barely injured for he had no soft tissue to cause injury with.

Shenjie was fairly pleased when he felt his kick connect, but was a bit confused when the vibrations told him a little about what was going on with the fellow’s body. First and foremost there seemed to be a hard shell surrounding the fellow’s body; which was protecting him from the kicks impact for the most part. Shenjie could feel the force bursting up his own leg as his impact was being fed back to him a little bit, but because he had been kicking trough the object it would be much less than painful than had he been simply kicking the object. Shenjie used that very brief moment, attempting to save his shin as he tightened his muscles letting his training to harden his bones take root as his hardened bones resisted the impact, proving that training one’s body was never moot, but more so something that could be done to help better one’s disposition when dealing with impacts.
Shenjie was no stranger to taking on blows to the body. He had been a martial artist since the age of 7 and was very familiar with kicking his shins and legs against hard objects. That wasn’t even to mention the thousands of times he had punched wooden boards in an attempt to harden his fists themselves. This method of training had been passed down for generations by Goutetsu-Ryu Karateka who had inherited the rock hard bodies that their training produced. In order to survive as a martial artist, one had to have a strong body in order to withstand the damage that they would surely undertake. This was one of such instances, as the blow clearly would have damaged a lesser individual; however Shenjie took the blow pretty well, continuing to plow through the block as he would send the fellow flying a short distance to the side. His shin ached just a little bit as he landed successfully on his right foot, but there was no major damage, his bones were extremely durable after all.
Quickly dashing after the now falling fellow, He made contact with the ground, which let Shenjie know where he was, and more importantly his body position, as he was doing what felt like a backwards roll of some sort. This move, which was resembling of a back fall in Judo, was the perfect off balance position to perform a Seoi-Waza technique from. Moving in quickly Shenjie would come to meet the fellow just as he made his way back up from his roll. Grabbing for the lapel (Just under the collar) of his what felt like some sort of Coat with his left hand, and grabbing his right arm at about the forearm with his left, Shenjie quickly pulled him upward. This was made easier by the fact that the fellow had been attempting to get up using the falls momentum. This to the very least put him off balance (Trust me it does…I’ve been in this situation before in Judo…and it’s really hard to regain balance if you’re not familiar with the rolls….that being said, get ready to train the side fall :0). Shenjie using this broken balance pulled towards his body with his right hand as he turned his body and toted the fellow over his shoulder into a Maroto Seoi Nage.

Side Aikido Breakfall Rank: "D" See Description Skill: TaiJutsu Effect: A Sideways Breakfall controlled in which most of the impact is absorbed by the arms or legs. Special: --- Drawback: May learn up to 6 Times. Description: Picture User falls on their side if an opponent is throwing the user is still hanging on to one of their arms, that they used to break the user's balance and make them fall down. When the user falls they slap the ground with their hand. User keeps their free arm on their stomach as they fall to prevent it getting damaged while leaving the arm ready to protect the face from a blow. User slaps the ground palm down 45° from the body to absorb the shock of the fall. Immediately after, the user should withdraw their arm to protect their chest or face to block a punch or kick. Make sure the chin is fixed to the chest. The right leg should be bent at the knee, with the right foot flat on the ground. When first learning the user must train 10 TP. Each additional learning the user must train an additional 5 TP on top of the TP needed to learn the technique previously. Example: Learning the technique a 3rd time takes 20 TP while learning the technique the 6th time takes 35 TP. Each time learned the user may reduce 15% of damage caused by falls. Limit: Must learn from an Aikido Master. Must know Back Aikido Breakfall.
Kuroki was slightly surprised as the blind man not only recovered from hitting is hard body but pushed the attack. So he had fallen and started his roll when that blind man landed and recovered. Then the sudden rush as that same person grabbed his trench coat and raised him up even quicker than expected. It put him extremely off balance but at this point he relaxed into the hold.
This was the Spectre of Taki, so he knew how to take a hit if nothing else. Much less a grab like he had just happen to him. If he was more skilled maybe he could have countered the hold on his Coat but he was not. But he did remember his lessons from the a master that wasn't to afraid to teach him. Since Taki was a village of inhumans in the first place he wasn't that unusual there.
Kuroki rode with the grab and the following toss to the side. Again he rode with the force and rolled again back into a defensive position. It was too easy to move the big man around like if he didn't weigh as much as he should. Not only that he just flowed like water with everything. Not something typical of large men like Spectre. It was obvious though Spectre wasn't a great martial artist he was skilled in limiting the damage to himself.

0/10 Suwariwaza Kokyuho Rank: "D" Skill: TaiJutsu Effect: A sitting counter to knock the opponent down if the opponent wishes to take hold of the user. Special: --- Drawback: --- Description: Picture Elbows low, begin a rotation with your forearms which brings your thumbs inward and your little fingers outward. This action will rise uke's elbows. Push on the left or right while rising on your toes. One of uke's elbows must point upward otherwise you can't imbalance him. Keep pushing while pivoting. Beware: the body pushes through the arms, there is nothing like one arm pushes, one arm pulls. The arms do nothing, they just stay in front of you. At the end, don't lean on uke. There is no immobilization/pinning down intention here. Limit: Must learn from an Aikido Master. Must know the Aikido Stances.
As Kuroki rolled into a new fighting stance he was calculating. This was going to be a uphill fight for the ghostly man. For the blind man was definitely an excellent martial artist but so far he let loose none of his tricks. But then again Kuroki was trying to be mostly fair to the blind man. It was about flow for him in all his movements. He was of a water type village anyway and his movements reflected that.
To late to do anything he remembered a counter he could have performed to the blind man. It wouldn't of helped much because he was already off balance. For it to work he needed his own balance to begin with. But it was something useful to file away of something he could have done differently. He could have counter grab the grab on his coat and begin a rotation with his fore arms.
The Kuroki would hand raised up on his toes while pivoting to off balance the blind man. It would simply be an off balancing counter he could have used if he had reset in time. But he hadn't and now he was in the same situation again of rolling back to his feet from being tossed. But luckily this caused him no harm and little energy while the other man was putting forth more effort. He would last if not else.

Shenjie could feel the inner killer instinct fighting him as he began combating the fellow. As he was preparing to tot the fellow over his shoulder, he noticed how he got much lighter. Any other fighter who was not as in tune with their hara as Shenjie was might have fallen backwards from the force, but Shenjie’s form and Shitakuma cat like balance corrected itself for the strange lack of weight as he hurled the fellow the complete distance away from himself. Feeling his Satsui no Hado struggling within him, he felt a sudden wave of pain wash over his body as his throat felt as if it was on fire. He felt himself struggling as he felt to his knees as the fellow flew through the air. The pain was fairly intense as his inner gates began to open themselves. It was hard controlling the raw power within himself.
No not now, Shenjie thought to himself as his body began to change color as his skin was tainted red as he immeditaly went into the third gate. His body normally held up pretty well to the punishment of the gate; however this time it felt as if it was being forced by the killing intent of the Satsui no Hado. The Evil that lived within every warrior was hard to quell. Doing his best to not crumple onto the floor he felt un capable of attacking as he leaned his weight forward onto his arms, only to find that he was unable to git up. “urgh…” He groaned in agony as his body felt like it was on fire. His body was emitting so much energy. The fourth and fifth gates opened each in turn slowly as he attempted to get up as his body was being tortured. His body was being surrounded by a visible red aura, as if his killing intent was leaking from his very being.
He didn’t know how to control such a thing yet, as he had never been taught. His master himself had fallen to the Satsui no Hado, and he too struggled with the same thing. “ahhhh!” He shouted as the burning in his throat transferred all down his body. It was as if something was happening within his very Ki. His muscles bulged and his eyes flared with red energy as his body didn’t seem to understand what was happening as his body began to break down every fiber of fat and unneeded calorie in his body. His aching body now struggled to push himself up to a kneeling stance as Shenjie’s mind slowly began to fade to blackness, until all he felt was the truth behind martial arts. The anger, the hate, the malice…it was all there. Total destruction of one’s enemies, of everything, was the truth behind true martial arts. Do forms practiced such techniques, and Shenjie had become a master of such, but even at that he was not prepared for such a thing. With nothing but hatred left within him, Shenjie looked up at the fellow regardless of where he was and locked onto his target…destroy one’s enemies.

*Flashback*
“The Inner gates are extremely difficult to control,” Shenjie’s Sensei, Goki, Explained as they sat by the gentle flowing of the waterfall. The young child didn’t quite understand Ki, Hara, Breath, or any of the basic concepts that martial arts stress, and are fundamental to the inner gates. “What do you mean?” Shenjie asked blindly as his teacher began to take a deep breath in his quiet meditation. “The gates are part of our very being, they each control different aspects of our lives and must be balanced.” Goki explained as Shenjie listened to him discuss the gates. “Close your eyes, and open the five gates, remember what each one of them represents.” Goki reminded his student as Shenjie took a deep breath and relaxed as his mental barriers to the gates began to disengage.
Focusing ki deep down within his center, Shenjie allowed himself to fill up with the flow of energy as his gates opened up one by one mentally. He wasn’t activating them, but simply letting his energy flow though them. When he reached the sixth, and the first more complicated gate, he found himself unable to circulate chakra. Which was funny, as he didn’t quite understand why this was the case. Sensei had asked him to try his best, and surely he wasn’t going to give up now. Keeping his cool, Shenjie attempted to mimic his teacher by taking in a deep breath, on that enveloped his whole being. He could feel his lungs expanding and the energy flowing. Exhaling deeply, Shenije again attempted to feel for the gentle flow of energy through his chakras as he focused. The deep mental focus was indeed key to controlling the gates, but also he attempted to understand the meaning behind each one. Each gate was a step on the journey to reaching enlightenment and true martial arts. It was about finding who you were, and the truth of your very life.
Shenjie still found it difficult to overcome the bock. Such difficult techniques made it hard for the young Shitakuma to focus as he attempted to let his energy flow through his body through meditation. Obviously it wasn’t working quite a she pictured it. It was slow and methodical. He didn’t really feel any progress as he sat there by the gentle flow of water. He wanted to understand the gate, and could feel the energy within his body, but he still had trouble overcoming the gate itself. What was blocking him? He didn’t understand why this was happening. He was struggling for sure, but to the very least he understood that it would take more than simple calm to open up this gate.

0/70 Chakura Sabaki Koudo (Advanced Chakra Drain) Rank: B Skill: Ninjutsu Effect: The user expands their control over the Chakra Absorption technique, increasing their draining potential. Special: -- Drawback: The user still must touch their opponent either by a chakra connection (such as strings) or bare skin in order to drain their chakra. Description: The user focuses a greater quantity of chakra into their hands than normal, in order to create a much stronger ‘vacuum’ effect of chakra absorption. This allows them to drain chakra at a much faster and heavier rate, akin to ten percent of the person’s chakra being drained per full six seconds they are in contact with the foe. Lesser amounts of contact, such as passing touches, drain lesser amounts. The chakra conversion is weak, however, and only one half of the chakra drained is supplied to the person who absorbs it. Limit: Must know Chakra Kyuuin. Universal Ninjutsu.
Spectre seeing a transformation go over his opponent he knew it was time to get serious. The earlier part of the bout was about training, not so any more. The blind man's soul told the story all to well. The evil in his hear was taking over the blind man. He wasn't completely taken over yet by the power of evil. But it is a near thing to Kuroki's senses. His senses were on fire with the sequence of events.
So it was time to transform a bit himself. First he completely faded from the solid world, unto the world of the half there. He would be incorporeal, and invisible to the blind man. But more than that he knew the blind man had a few tricks up his sleeve especially with this transformation. So Kuroki started glowing blue and the blind man could sense a draw on his chakra.
This was a secret technique of the Spectre. Few realized that beyond having just unbelievable stamina he could draw on the chakra of others. He was a true wraith in his life of the half living. He absorbed the very energies of another, and he was strengthening it. For just a little here and there isn't going to be enough this time. No he was going to have to go all out for once.

He was the Spectre of Taki and that was more than a title. No this was a symbol of how his powers flow. The undead were his enemy and his source of power. He fought like the unliving and used similar tactics. It wasn't yet time to bring on the killing intent he could sometimes have. But the thin shell of sanity was cracking as he was fighting this blind man. For the Blind man was becoming evil most vile.
Kuroki would absorb this evil energy and turn it against it's original owner. If the martial artist can return to the path maybe he would be spared. But it mattered at how quickly this fight progressed and how. His blue glow was the a secret chakra absorption technique. Chakra absorption might not killed this errant man but it may turn the tide. Besides he had much more in his arsenal than this.
No this was just the beginning of the fight between a physical powerhouse and a man between realms. Spectre, he was, Wraith fire, he is. A spiritual fighter of unusual tricks and tactics he did. Now it was time to show that and use that against this powerful man. The blue light around the ghostly man pulsed and shivered as he added power to it. It was a power of reversal.

Kuroki analyzed the situation as he watched the transformation the blind man and his own glow. He watched and manipulated his own chakra for this was going to be a challenge in a half. He wasn't the best at sensing chakra but he could feel the man's physical prowess increase. It was tenfold or more and the blind man was already very strong physically to begin with.
Kuroki was no spring chicken but this old man compared to him looked ready to do some real damage. Well the strategy of chakra absorption should help. The other part was just to last until whatever coursing through the blind man is done. With such a burning of energy it couldn't last to long. Things that powerful had short shelf life. But he couldn't count on that if he wanted to survive.
Kuroki needed more solid ways of handling this rapidly decreasing situation. But what in the name of the spiritual realms was he going to do. His eyes suddenly gained a eerie glow as started to absorb more of the chakra around him. He was sucking the very air dry of chakra. It was bolstering himself but not enough. He could feel that he needed more, much more. The blue glowing ghost was only ready in the sense he could fight.

Shenjie was having a hard time controlling his body, much more so than normal as the Satsui no Hado seeped his strength. The draining feeling he felt on his chakra was not just himself exerting a large amount of Ki, but also from the environment so it would seem. Shenjie’s rage only increased as his inner gate flickered with Ki, the draining effect not quelling the separate energy that was more closely tied with the soul than the chakra. With his will diminishing, Shenjie only had enough inner strength to activate one of his more passive abilities subconsciously as he brought himself up to his feet. He was being drained, but regardless his Ki was swelling with power. “What fool dare stand in my way?” Shenjie asked gruffly as his hair was being blasted upward, tinted red by the pure energy of his inner Ki.
The strange fellow had seemingly disappeared, or so one without superb senses like Shenjie might have thought as he seemed to hollow out, not touching the ground any longer, but still holding enough of a presence to leave a scent and a soul lingering. Shenjie had been studying his soul for quite some time, and consequently could locate it fairly quickly. With his hands down by his torso, Shenjie would stomp down on the ground, cracking the stone earth as he got into a very wide martial arts stance that only someone versed the art of Ansatsuken would recognize. Shenjie was getting serious. Bringing his hands together in front of him, he would quickly produce a blue orb of ki that would be fairly small, still young and undeveloped much like Shenjie’s understanding of Ki control.
“Hadoken,” Shenjie would grumble as he would release the orb in the general direction of the ghost fellow, where ever he was (not really sure if you mentioned your distance any…). Regardless of if he moved, let the object collide with him, or did something to block it, Shenjie would be quickly advance throwing a volley of extremely quick punches, which would have been a bad idea if his hands, body and feet were not just blurs, Shenjie’s gloves were charged with his inner chakra, dealing additional non-lethal damage, which might be the only thing helping him hold back as he moved so quickly even a trained eye would have trouble following him.

*flashback*
The gates are not something to be trifled with, Shenjie understood this better than anyone. Now alone, having lost his teacher and his fellow students to the power of the Satsui no Hado, he too was beginning to have doubts about the power of his own martial art. How could one become so evil so suddenly, Shenjie thought to himself as he meditated within the Falls of Origins, where Ansatsuken was supposedly founded during the battle between Goken and Goki, the original founders of his variation of Karate do. He was searching for answers, but the truth seemed to evade him. “What happened? Do I not have enough control?” Shenjie asked himself internally as he exhaled gently.
The martial arts was about controlling one’s self and understanding the body. He could feel his chakra flowing as he gently fed his chakra up through his body, through his inner gates. He was taking his time, not forcing the opening of said gates, but simply feeling them. He didn’t want to open them by simply allowing the chakra to run rampant that was how one lost themselves to the conflict. The truth of any marital art is that it was created to be on the battlefield, to take lives. Each technique, every thrust, was designed to end a life or make doing so easier. Shenjie recognized this, and understood that he, as a user of Ansatsuken, his techniques were designed to take life. He was a weapon, and his body was hardened like steel for that purpose, yet he didn’t want to play such a role.
Shenjie hated killing, he loved challenging others and improving one’s art, but killing was not art, it was only destruction. His teacher use to say that there was a certain beauty in killing, and yet he didn’t see it. Shenjie felt as if there was a beauty in peace too. He wanted to find a way to avoid such killing. Was there not a truth that martial arts were about peace too? Shenjie could feel his chakra welling up in his throat as he mentally struggled with the concept that the chakra detained.

*flashback*
The quite dripping of the water seeping off the stalactites reminded Shenjie of his environment as he continued to ponder on his inner truth, and what it meant for him to be a martial artist. The inner gates were all about realizing who you really were inside. The inner mechanisms that drove you being. Shenjie was beginning to realize this as a master of the inner gates, one who could manipulate up to the 5th gate at will. His body was capable of handling such raw power, but honestly he wasn’t sure if it was meant for any one person beyond meditation. The Gates were to help make one a healthier individual, and to unlock power far beyond one’s normal comprehension. It was this power that fueled the Ansatsuken, the killing fist. With such a power, one could destroy their enemies, crush them with a singular fatal blow. Shenjie was opposed to this, yet he knew the power to crush a target was important.
Shenjie’s heart rate was rapidly increasing as he unlocked his inner sixth gate, the gate of truth. He was struggling with the truth of his own martial arts, and the power of his inner being. He was having a problem figuring who he was inside, and what he wanted. He was always suppressing the inner desire to kill something, to destroy. The inner power of the Ansatsuken had to be controlled. It was not just his struggle, but apparently that of his teacher as well. He was one of the many who struggled with their inner Satsui no Hado, that naturally awoken when using the Ansatsuken. The Sixth gate was the gate that always caused contemplation within a martial artist. It was this gate that he would search to for answers.
Inhaling gently, Shenjie thought about his inner truth. What does it mean to be a martial artist? He wanted to avoid killing people, but he accepted the truth, that he would only destroy. He was destruction, and he was death. He was built to only destroy things, and it was this that he always attempted to resist. His inner nature was peaceful, yet his external art was destructive. How could one person be so conflicted? He desired to balance his art with his own inner peace, to blend non-aggression with that of the destroying power of the Satsui no Hado. By understanding the killing intent, one is better to understand how not to use it or when to avoid using it.

36/70
Chakura Sabaki Koudo (Advanced Chakra Drain) Rank: B Skill: Ninjutsu Effect: The user expands their control over the Chakra Absorption technique, increasing their draining potential. Special: -- Drawback: The user still must touch their opponent either by a chakra connection (such as strings) or bare skin in order to drain their chakra. Description: The user focuses a greater quantity of chakra into their hands than normal, in order to create a much stronger ‘vacuum’ effect of chakra absorption. This allows them to drain chakra at a much faster and heavier rate, akin to ten percent of the person’s chakra being drained per full six seconds they are in contact with the foe. Lesser amounts of contact, such as passing touches, drain lesser amounts. The chakra conversion is weak, however, and only one half of the chakra drained is supplied to the person who absorbs it. Limit: Must know Chakra Kyuuin. Universal Ninjutsu.
Kuroki watched as the blind man still could find him. It was interesting that that man could still find him, but not surprising to him. For Kuroki figured that a blind man would have better senses than most and the man had seemed spiritual in the ways of man before the turmoil of whatever is afflicting him. But He was not one to give up so easily. So the Spectre of Taki prepared to defend himself seriously so he set loose his wire.
The Blind man set his hands together in front of him and soon a blue orb of ki that would be fairly small was produced. This surprised Kuroki and he did everything to focus his Chakra drain on the man to lesson his abilities as much as possible. “Hadoken,” Shenjie would grumble as he would release the orb in the general direction of Kuroki. The Spectre of Taki easily let the ball past him with a sway.
Shenjie quickly advanced on Kuroki at that moment throwing a volley of extremely quick punches. Kuroki could not defend against such speed and he could feel the dangerous energy in the strikes. Kuroki could not see the strikes but he could sense the energy flow and ebb around the furious blind man. Into the ground Kuroki flowed and back up at a different location did he popped back up.

The Spectre of Taki could barely avoid the blows. And Some he did get struck with despite his state of dissolution. Luckily he had been able to move in such ways that the worse of the damage was to where he could take the best hits. Every contact though would bring about even greater drain on the furious blind man. It was a fight for his survival now and Kuroki had a plan as he flowed back within striking range of him.
Kuroki had a loop of wire set at their feet, ready for the blind man to step in it. Because of just how aware of the blind man's abilities Kuroki was, he set it so that the wire was incorporeal as he is. This would only work if he was fast enough and time it right. The idea was to snag the man and take him off balance. Just the fact he was making no sound was helping his defense.
For between his chakra drain and his incorporeal abilities the blind man was completely off the mark one fifth of the time. The other four times though was serious blows to his torso and arms. There the blind man would feel an incredible draw of energy from him with each hit. Also the feedback along the strikes would be of a very hard shell on the ghostly apparition that Kuroki was.
