Shadow Branch (Currently allied with no one, and unlikely to ally with anyone anytime soon).
Description: This branch has the most bitter relations with the other branches (and everyone else for that matter) because it has rejected all the traditional teachings and focused on the unthinkable... KG TAIJUTSU *gulp*. Surprisingly enough, they not only succeeded at comming up with a unique fighting style, but it also turned out to be the strongest fighting style (if it
can be called a taijutsu style at all) ever seen.
HOWEVER, because they created the style by stealing the secrets of all the other known styles then shamelessly combining them, even when some were completely incompatible (like the Hyuuga's gentle fist and the Gouken (Rock lee's style)), then further modifying it by using blitz (instintanious) ninjutsu's and genjutsus (which is considered as desecration (the ultimate taboo) of the martial arts) they earned the hatred of every taijutsu practicioner in the world.
Techniques: Ninjutsu, genjutsu and taijutsu type Kekke genkai jutsus can be cast instintaniously without handseals.
Jutsus (Nin/Gen means that it is a ninjutsu but it has genjutsu-like properties):
Light betrayal (modified rip-off of the drunken fist)
Type: Kg
Sub-type: Nin/Gen
Rank: E
Effect: At any time during the next 5 posts the user can place or remove a small invisible wall of compressed air in front of the enemy's face. This will shift the trajectory of incoming light thus make him see a bit off target. The target must be within 2 meters and it must be day in order this jutsu to have the best effect.
Ex: You are standing in the middle but he sees you standing a bit to the left.
Shadow betrayal (modified rip-off of the drunken fist)
Type: Kg
Sub-type: Nin/Gen
Rank: E
Effect: Using his Kg to manipulate light refraction, the user creates 2 overlapping afterimages which, like a shadow, mirror every movement he makes with delayed reaction. The user can also make them move before he does. This jutsu is very good for unnerving the opponent and effective in both offence and defence.
Shadow's body (addapted modification of the combination gained by combining the Kaguya and Akimichi tai style)
Type: Kg
Sub-type: Nin
Rank: C
Effect: The user inhales a heavy dose of nitrogen (70% of the air is nitrogen). The nitrogen instantly fuses in the lungs and through the bloodstream reaches every joint in the body. After some serious mind-blowing pain (no damage, just pain) it forms nitrogen bubbles which act as impact cushions. This greatly increases the users speed, mobility, agility, recoil, striking and jumping power.
Blitz (modified rip-off of the Gouken Celestial Gates)
Type: Tai
Sub-type: none
Rank: B
Effect: The user opens an inner gate for only a split second and then closes it just as fast. The extra energy is diverted to only 1 limb which for only a split second moves 20 to 30 times faster that the rest of the body (faster than it would have had the released chakra been allocated properly). This jutsu can be used repeatedly in quick succession but doing so would greatly damage the body.
Shadow's touch (perverted addaptation gained by combining the strong points of all offencive teqniques of all the known styles)
Type: Kg
Sub-type: Tai
Rank: C
Effect: First the user takes a step forward thus adding the power of inertia to the blow, simultaneously he throws his gravity centre at the opponent thus adding his weight to the blow, by pulling his off hand backwards at the same time as his striking hand moves forwards he adds more power to the blow, by placing the designated target of the blow behind the opponent the user will punch as if he was punching through him which also adds to the power of the blow, by holding the joints in tension (tame) just before striking the user nearly doubles the power. Finally just before the blow lands the user positions the bones in his arm in a straight axis so that none of the energy escapes as it normally does with other fighting styles. Only down side is that if the user misses he'll be compleatly open to counter-attacks.
Sou Tenshu (modified rip-off of the Gentle fist)
Type: Tai
Sub-type: Kg
Rank: B
Effect: Upon direct contact with the enemy’s skin the user sends air directly into his blood stream. As the air passes through the system it damages the blood vestals, but it doesn’t cause pain until much later. Once the air reaches the heart (this is usually when they figure out that the user has done something to them) it temporarily disrupts its natural rhythm which causes the enemy to have great chest pains, nausea, feeling of suffocation, panic and weakness throughout the body. In short, it makes them feel like crap. Longer contact means more air can be sent into the body, more air means more damage and (like in the movies) a sufficient amount of air can kill a man. This jutsu is 10 times more efficient when used on open wounds.
Tak Sou Shou (modified rip-off of the Gentle fist)
Type: Tai
Sub-type: Kg
Rank: A
Effect: A variation of the Sou Tenshu jutsu. The user tries to hit the opponent with an open palm attack. If successful, upon the impact he also forcefully shoves a large amount of air inside of the enemy. The air is usually aimed at a specific target, organs in most cases, but sometimes muscles and general tissue too. The air inflates the target causing its instant failure. The jutsu causes a LOT of pain and reduced motor functions and if the target was a vital organ than death will follow very soon if its not treated immediately. This jutsu has no effect on targets that are completely protected by bone (the brain), lungs (only if you attack from the front) or some kind of armour.
UGYUU HAITOU (modified rip-off of the Gentle fist)
Type: Tai
Sub-type: Kg
Rank: S
Effect: The strongest jutsu of the Shadow branch's fighting style. The user attempts to strike the opponent with an open palm attack. Upon successful impact the user fills the enemy with cold compressed air and then uses his innate blood limit ability to gain control of it and release it (expand it). In 99% of the cases the enemy literally explodes, in the other 1% cases it turns out he’s not human.
