Description: This ninjutsu was developed by the Himitsu clan in order to help advance their Taijutsu skills to be able to match other clans with specialized Taijutsu based KKG such as the Kaguya or the Gentle Fist style of the Hyuuga clan. The users hand is coated in a film of chakra that leaves behind small trails of what appear to be tiny Cherry Blossom petals. The trail of blades have no power behind them, and don't do damage, but the user's strikes create the force necessary to send the petal blades into whatever they strike. The blades aren't large, but their numerous amount allows for the user to quickly create wounds that can bleed or disable an opponent.
Weaknesses: This technique completely coats the user's hands, and while they are safe from the blades with each strike, they are not safe from the other hands blades. If the user attempts to use new seals while this technique is active, they will cut up their own hand a little bit, although not as much as a full strike would do. In order to use another technique that requires hand seals without taking damage, the user would need to end this technique first and then reactivate it, paying the activation cost again.

Description: The taijutsu user, by flowing Suiton Chakra into their ocular nerves, are able to increase their perceptive abilities as if wearing a lense. The filter of Suiton Chakra acts to help more clearly amplify the sight of the user, and as such only increases the perceptive clues of the user's sight. This increase is the equivalent of a tier of perception.

Description: This style of combat focuses on fast, flowing combinations utilizing basic principles of Taijutsu. The style uses sheer speed and number of attacks to achieve its goals in contrast to other more strength reliant Taijutsu styles. While those who aren't trained in Taijutsu find that faster strikes tend to lose out on power, a Taijutsu user who has trained in the skill can utilize this style without losing any of their striking power, allowing body mechanics to make up for any power lost. Boosts coordination by one tier with the taijutsu skill and by one plus without it.
Weaknesses: The boosts are lowered by -- if the user doesn't have the taijutsu skill. Their strength is also lowered by - if they don't possess the Taijutsu Skill to represent their lack of true effort in mastering their body.

Description: Combining the principle of the academy technique Supernatural Walking Practice, and the Petal Dance of the Mist, the Himitsu clan has developed a technique that allows the user to skate across the ground at will Taking part of its inspiration from the Supernatural Walking Practice, this ability allows the user to coat their body in a strange chakra that literally allows them to slide/skate along the ground with any part of their body that is in contact with it, leaving behind a small trail of petals on the points of contact. [I.e, the user can run, dive into a slide and continue moving at the same speed as if they were still running]. While moving along the ground on anything that isnt their feet, the user cannot increase their speed unless they are going downhill or using a technique.

Description: Through superior chakra control, the user is able to create a single small platform of petals through their feet wherever they are as a sort of spring board, as they create a solid enough platform to jump off of. The petals disperse and fall harmlessly to the ground afterwards, as they are only stable enough to allow for a brief moment of contact.

Description: This jutsu allows instant reach of the users desired speed within their own capabilities using chakra flow, allowing them to attain up to their max speed at the moment of takeoff, instead of the user having to build up their speed first. The user builds up chakra inside them and uses it as a burst speed, creating a small whirlwind of petals through the leak off of chakra reminiscent of the other Himitsu Clan Techniques. This jutsu is sometimes mistaken for the Body Flicker Technique, especially when used by the fastest shinobi. The chakra flow increases the user's speed by a tier.
Weaknesses: Although this can be maintained, if the user wants to make a sudden change of direction, they would need to reactivate the jutsu, paying the activation cost again.

Description: Rather than accelerating the user's entire body, this technique focuses on small things, such as serving to accelerate the user's hands or feet to their full speed. This allows for fast changes on where a strike would land, helping to subvert a defense at the last moment. The same effect of petals is left, although in a smaller amount as they are localized in the hands and feet of the user. This can be used twice on the feet to shift the user at most a foot in any direction.

Skill: Ninjutsu
Classification: Secret
Requirements: C Coordination
Parent Technique: Petal Dance of the Mist
Hand Seals: Bird
Description: After forming the Bird seal, within a meter around the user, sharp chakra petals continue to form at a rate of 30 or more per turn. Starting at 10 petals at E rank coordination, 10 more is added on for every tier above E that the user's coordination is. At any time the user is capable of selecting a direction and performing the half (bird) handseal to project any number of stored chakra petals in any direction in a straight line, although any petals that would path themselves through the user would twist around them harmlessly, not entering the meter safety ring.
Weaknesses: While the petals are numerous, they are individually small, taking up a small paper thin amount of space, and are only about 1/3 inch wide in total. While the user is able to send the petals in any direction in a single line, they can't control it beyond the initial launch without the aid of another jutsu. Additionally, if an opponent enters within the meter safety ring that the petals are created at, the user cannot send these petals towards them, as the petals are stopped from entering that ring.

The shuriken from there float above the user’s palm, spinning almost like a sawblade in a tight and nearly flat circle until launched at a target. When not launched, the shuriken can act like a sawblade, allowing the user to slice through an opponent. However, the shuriken can also be launched, using the rotational force of the weapons and stopping the upkeep of the technique. The shuriken, being collected remnants of Chakra Petals, allow these shuriken to be destroyed after they have been launched, breaking back into the 5 original condensed petal like chakra constructs upon impact with an object.

Parent Technique: Petal Dance of the Mist
Hand Seals: Bird - Snake - Dragon
Description: Shoots out a continuous stream of hardened chakra that look like petal blades from the hands of the user, in a much more controlled manner than the Dance of the Misty Petal's short controlled hits. The user can control the petal blades with their hands and eyes much like Gaara's sand, except this requires actual control from the user. Sending out the hardened chakra petals through the air and controlling the path through their Chakra.

This technique allows the user to block incoming attacks with a barrage of petal blades, and launch counter attacks from a range using that same barrage of blades. As the user's ability to mold and shape chakra improves and they are able to use higher ranked techniques, they gain the ability to use this technique at higher levels, creating a larger volume of more and more powerful petals, but not at a higher rank of power than they would be able to learn a technique on their own.

Should the user simply be controlling the Petal Storm with only their mind, the speed of the technique is reduced to one tier below their coordination, as their full attention is not given. However, they can increase the speed of the technique by dedicating their full control by guiding the petals with their mind and their hands, raising the speed of the technique to one tier above their coordination.
Weaknesses: The petals released from the user don't enter a range closer than 1 meter to the user, providing a small exploitable safe space from the technique close to the user. If the user is controlling the petals with both their hands and their mind together, increasing the speed of the technique, the safe space is removed, however the user risks injuring themselves with their own attack if they can't quite perceive the speed enough to stop it from injuring them after entering that space.

When controlling the petals at the heightened level of speed, the concentration required is intense. While not enough to cancel other maintained techniques, the user is unable to activate any new techniques while controlling the petals at a rank above their coordination.

Description: This is an odd jutsu, as it is meant to deceive the target. The user fakes an attack towards their opponent, sending a vortex of chakra petals at them. Just before striking the target, the vortex dissipates, the petals dropping to the ground. At this point, the user will act as if the jutsu failed, playing along the deception portion of the jutsu. At any point after of the user's choosing however, the chakra petals will build around the target's feet if they step into the trap's radius of 5 meters, and erupt upwards, taking the vague appearance of a person holding a sword and spinning around the target, with the sword pointed inward. The chakra sword is sharp, capable of slicing like a real sword. This can also be utilized by using previously discarded petals from another technique rather than making the initial vortex.

Description: Unlike Petal Dance of the Mist, this technique creates more petals that coat not just the hand, but also the forearm in a scale like pattern of petals. The petals, rather than breaking off from each strike to embed themselves in an opponent, stay on the arm, helping to assist in protection. This allows the user to utilize Taijutsu against weapons with greater defense than their arm, but its meant more for deflection of a strike rather than taking it all head on. It can be used to allow the user to safely deflect or catch the blades of shuriken and kunai.
Weaknesses: This technique is meant for safer deflection, reducing the risk of cutting yourself from a blade, but a full forced strike will power through the defense rather easily. This isn't meant to take attacks other than weak slashes or thrusts head on.

Description: After forming the Bird seal, in a ring around the user with a meter's distance from the user in the center, multiple hundreds of Chakra petals form, taking up enough space that should they be condensed into a box, they would occupy about half a cubic meter. Every turn after, as long as this jutsu is active, more petals form, equating to about 1/5 of a cubic meter in total. At any time, the user is capable of selecting a direction and performing the half (bird) handseal to project all the stored chakra petals in any direction in a straight line, although any petals that would path themselves through the user would twist around them harmlessly, not entering the meter safety ring.
Weaknesses: While the petals are numerous, they are individually small, taking up a small paper thin amount of space, and are only about 1/3 inch wide in total.

Description: The user creates a set of 500 beautiful, but small shuriken out of 5 Petal Blades for each shuriken, either formed on hand, or from preexisting Petal Blades scattered around the field, the petals being recalled to the user. As this technique creates much less petals than most techniques, the chakra cost for creating them is insignificant. The shuriken from there float above and around the user’s palm, spinning almost like a sawblade in a tight and nearly flat disk until launched at a target. When not launched, the shuriken can act like a sawblade, allowing the user to slice through an opponent or clash with a blade. However, the shuriken can also be launched, using the rotational force of the weapons and stopping the upkeep of the technique.
Upon their launch, the disk breaks up into the tiny gatherings of shuriken, launching like a swarm of bees. The shuriken, being collected remnants of Chakra Petals, allow these shuriken to be destroyed after they have been launched, breaking back into the 5 original condensed petal like chakra constructs upon impact with an object.
Weaknesses: Even as Shuriken, the size of these petals is incredibly small, each shuriken no larger than an inch long in any direction, and still just as flat as paper.

Description: This is an odd jutsu, as it is meant to deceive the target. The user fakes an attack towards their opponent, sending a large vortex of chakra petals at them, enough to occupy a cubic meter. Just before striking the target, or at the edge of it's range, the vortex dissipates, the petals scattering across the ground harmlessly. At this point, the user will act as if the jutsu failed, playing along the deception portion of the jutsu. At any point after of the user's choosing however, the chakra petals will build around the target's feet if they step into the trap's radius of 5 meters, and erupt upwards, taking the vague appearance of a person holding a sword and spinning around the target, with the sword pointed inward. The chakra sword is sharp, capable of slicing like a real sword, and the remaining petals that aren't used by the person swarm through the air, creating small cuts as well, forming into a smaller vortex than the original launch made, in order to keep the victim in the trap. The vortex condenses in so that they are wall to wall only about 2 meters apart, the spinning Petal Person at the edge of the wall, blade extending out a meter, almost touching the other wall, falling short about half a foot.
Weaknesses: The vortex isn't fully enclosed, and should the person inside be able to clear a 5 meter high jump, can escape the trap. Additionally, the trap itself can be avoided by not entering within 5 meters of it.

Description: The user creates or controls a stream of hardened chakra that look like petal blades. The user can control these petal blades with their hands and eyes much like Gaara's sand, except this requires actual control from the user. Sending out the hardened chakra petals through the air and controlling the path through their Chakra.

This technique allows the user to block incoming attacks with a barrage of petal blades, and launch counter attacks from a range using that same barrage of blades. The power of this technique comes directly from the control over the blades that the user is able to create, and the higher the coordination of the user, the more petals they are able to control. For every rank of coordination the user has, they are able to control 1 Cubic Meter's worth of Petals, capping out at 5 Cubic Meter's worth at S rank. Each Cubic Meter's worth of petals controlled increases the power of this technique by a rank, any amount of petals controlled below or up to 1 cubic meter's worth resulting in D rank power, 2 cubic meter's worth being C rank power, 3 cubic meter's worth being B rank power, 4 cubic meter's worth being A rank power, and all 5 cubic meter's worth being controlled equating to S rank power.

Should the user simply be controlling the Petal Storm with only their mind, the speed of the technique is reduced to one tier below their coordination, as their full attention is not given. However, they can increase the speed of the technique by dedicating their full control by guiding the petals with their mind and their hands, raising the speed of the technique by one advantage for each hand used to guide the petals.

When controlling the petals at the heightened level of speed, the concentration required is intense. While not enough to cancel other maintained techniques, the user is unable to activate any new techniques while controlling the petals with both of their hands.

Maintaining such a sheer volume of petals isn't without it's costs. Every Cubic Meter of petals created by this technique costs 5 Chakra to make, and is maintained by 1 chakra, meaning 25 chakra must  have been spent on petals in order to have 5 Cubic meter's worth of petals in the first place, and those petals would have to be maintained for 5 chakra a post. While strong, this technique is chakra intensive at it's lowest levels, let alone the higher ones.

If the user is controlling the petals with both their hands and their mind together, increasing the speed of the technique, the safe space can be removed, however the user risks injuring themselves with their own attack if they can't quite perceive the speed enough to stop it from injuring them after entering that space.

When controlling the petals at the heightened level of speed, the concentration required is intense. While not enough to cancel other maintained techniques, the user is unable to activate any new techniques while controlling the petals with both of their hands. Additionally, because the user is preoccupied with controlling the petals, they suffer a '-' to their perception due to the intense focus placed on the jutsu for every tier above their intelligence they are controlling. [No debuff to their perception occurs if the power of this technique is equal to their intelligence, whereas a 4 tier difference results in -1 Tier and 1 disadvantage debuff]

Maintaining such a sheer volume of petals isn't without it's costs. Every Cubic Meter of petals created by this technique costs 5 Chakra to make, and is maintained by 1 chakra, meaning 25 chakra must  have been spent on petals in order to have 5 Cubic meter's worth of petals in the first place, and those petals would have to be maintained for 5 chakra a post. While strong, this technique is chakra intensive at it's lowest levels, let alone the higher ones.

Description: The user, by flowing Suiton Chakra into their ocular nerves, are able to increase their perceptive abilities as if wearing a lense. The filter of Suiton Chakra acts to help more clearly amplify the sight of the user, and as such only increases the perceptive clues of the user's sight. This increase is the equivalent of a tier of perception.
Weaknesses: Bright lights such as those caused by flash bombs can cause a glare in the lense that temporarily blind the user if they stare at them directly

Description: The user, by flowing Suiton Chakra into their ocular nerves, are able to increase their perceptive abilities by using the suiton chakra to assist in the speed at which their bio-electrical impulses convert and process information into images. This increase of information processing is the equivalent of a tier of perception, as she has a few more moments to process what she sees and react to them.
Weaknesses: Since the suiton chakra serves to transfer electrical impulses from the eyes to the brain, if a Raiton technique specifically hits the user in the face, it overloads her brain and forces her to cancel the technique, as the Raiton has a pathway directly to her brain.

I changed up the wording a bit on your proposed weakness, as it originally said "Brightly lit area" and people could argue that I could never use it outside. Instead, a radical change from a room or area in which you've already acclimated to in which more light is introduced is my proposal, as it still conveys the whole "Blinded by glare" thing.

Speaking of which, as someone who wears glasses, contacts, and frequently looks through binoculars, glare is negligible, nearly unnoticeable, and I think requiring a glare caveat is a stupid drawback to begin with, as explosions and flashbangs already blind you temporarily, and wouldn't persist to a negative following because increased glare. I would *like* to just not have the drawback, as I'm paying a normal chakra cost for what a technique of this rank would allow for, with a guideline following buff, and has no other added benefit to it.

Hand Seals: Bird, Ox, Ram, Snake, Dragon
Description: After performing the requisite hand seals, Nozomi's chakra launches out in a wide path in front of her, out of one of her hands. The Lightning takes on the form of a fanged serpent, and travels in a straight line towards wherever she pointed. The serpent itself is  10 meters wide, and stretches out to a full length of 100 meters. After reaching 500 meters from it's origin, the serpent curls up and launches into the air, charging the sky and forming storm clouds. Anything caught in its path is devastated by the power of the technique, and should they happen to survive, will have their coordination reduced by -1 Tier and a -1 advantage for 3 posts.

Element: Raiton
Skill: Ninjutsu
Classification: Secret
Requirements:
Parent Technique:
Hand Seals: Seal of confrontation
Description: Nozomi charges up Raiton chakra in her body and releases it in a sustained pulse around her immediate surrounding. Anything attempting to enter the 1 meters around her is immediately shocked, the lightning energy pulsing through it. This can be used to repel weaponry and jutsu of equal power, as well as keep people from entering without receiving damage. This jutsu is more designed as a defense against flying weaponry and jutsu than it was for people, who take some time to feel the full effect of the jutsu. If someone does enter the range, they are immediately shocked with a C rank's worth of raiton damage and repelled to the outer limits of the technique unless their strength can overcome the force of the repulsing lightning. For every post a person spends in the range, the damage of the technique and the amount of strength required to stay in increases by 1, maxxing at A. This force resets every time they leave the bounds of the technique and stay out for a full post.
Someone affected by this technique will suffer a drop in coordination of -1 tier for 3 posts, with the 3 post time resetting any time they are affected once again. This does not stack for more than the 1 tier debuff.
Weaknesses: The seal of confrontation must be held the entire time, as disrupting the seal will halt the flow of chakra and end the technique.
