Description: Gentle Way was designed for its simplicity and ability for Iwagakure's military to adopt despite not being Taijutsu professionals. This technique focuses on grapples and redirecting an attacker's energy, utilizing the strength an experienced close-quarters user would have and pin it against them. This would in turn give the weaker opponent an advantage and allow them to either flee to a safer distance or quickly finish off a weakened opponent.

As mentioned, this style revolves around redirecting an attacker's energy into powerful throws or slams. Because of this, the technique is purely defensive in nature. The user gains +1 tier in Coordination when taking control of an opponent or sprawling. When a throw or take-down becomes successful, the user's strength and opponent's strength of the attack are combined to determine impact force. Upon a successful throw or slam the +1 tier in Coordination becomes +1 tier in Strength.

Weaknesses: Due to the defensive nature and dedication this technique takes the user has to remain completely stationary, or in sprawling cases be working around a stationary opponent. In addition, the power is determined of the combined strengths of the user and attacker. This will also only on creatures equal or lower to the user's size.

Description: Being the Taijutsu standard enforced for experienced Taijutsu users and those capable to learn it effectively, Hard-Soft Style is one based around striking primarily with speed and precision first before dedicating a powerful attack when an opening comes within a weakened opponent. This technique revolves around softening up an opponent's defenses using their hands and sometimes legs to execute accurately timed strikes to gradually weaken their opponent before using dedicated leg-only Taijutsu to deliver the  powerful kick to cripple their opponent.

The style itself is based around the soft style. When using this Taijutsu the user loses -1 advantage to their Strength and gain +2 advantages to Coordination and +2 advantages to Perception in regards to saves and perceiving your opponent's actions maximizing your ability to land successful attacks.

Steel Release: Impervious Armour Stage 1
This stage of the bloodline's ability is a quite basic. Impervious Armour essentially allows the user to cover up to 50% of their body in Kōton. This generally covers up to two limbs and a sizable portion of the user's trunk and/or face. Impervious Armour as a technique instantly transforms the user's body into a metallic substance that set's their skin at B-Rank quality. The coating is thin but extremely dense with the main sign of activation being a change in the user's skin color.  Impervious Armour  is considered "skin deep" meaning the coating does not extend far past the skin itself making it a powerful yet limited. Impervious Armour at this stage costs 5 Stamina points per post.

It was a trap. You've been got you damned bunny.

Checks empty trap. "How'd it get the carrot out of here?"

Applicable UA: Radiant Chakra Mode

• For 5 CP and -1 tier to his Stamina, Nakaba can release or reseal his chakra and stripes of golden light appear along his skin. While in this state his chakra appears to have a warm, sunlike glow. The stripes produces light equivalent to a candle that illuminates up to 5 meters. While in Radiant Chakra Mode punches, kicks, or similar Taijutsu attacks from Nakaba treat the target as though their Constitution were -1 less (-1 hardness for objects). [Costs 5 CP & -1 Stm | Targets have -1 Con/Hardness]

Description: One who knows this technique displays mastery of the fundamentals of Taijutsu. Though simple, a punch is one of the most important techniques in a ninja's toolbox. When delivering a punch with this technique strikes at openings in the target's defenses effectively giving them a - to coordination to react to the punch, but their focus gives the user a -- to their Con in regards to Doton, Taijutsu, or other physical attacks while delivering the punch.

Additional effect: The user can deliver open hand strikes to these openings in addition to punches to give their opponent a - to coordination to react to the users next Taijutsu technique in the same post. These knife hands, palm strikes, and other open hand variants leave an opponent a little more winded making it hard for them to regain their composure.
Weaknesses:Without the taijutsu spec the user takes a -1 to their Con instead of a --, and they cannot access the additional effect.

Description: This technique is as it sounds. The user delivers either a viscous punch to the target. The user receives a -1 tier to their constitution in regards to Doton and Taijutsu as they leave themselves vulnerable to counter attacks. In exchange the user receives a +1 boost in coordination for the purposes of the strike’s speed, and the target receives a - - reduction to Constitution for the purposes of the strike.

Additional effect: The user can use an open hand to launch the target as if they were a thrown projectile as per the thrown projectile rules. Collision with a solid mass does damage to the target and the mass. This effectively lets the user hit the target twice, once initially and potentially once on the ricochet. The +1 to coordination converts to a +1 to the effective speed of the pushed target.
Weaknesses: Without the taijutsu spec the user can only get up to a ++ to coordination, and cannot use the additional effect.
