Hyuuga, Kuzuku.

THE INFO.

Name: Kuzuku Hyuuga.
Nickname: N/A.
Age: 35.
Gender: Male.
Appearance: Kuzuku is a tall, intimidating man. Despite his older age, he appears to be nimble and agile, with a strut not unlike that of a predator. His glaring eyes are intense, and his grins more so. Long, dark hair flows around his head, neatly kept and often drawn back. It is more often than not Kuzuku keeps two pieces of hair on either side of his head tied down, framing his face. He has a rather traditional Hyuuga's genetics, though, for some reason, looks a bit different than most from the honorable clan. His face seems to hold more deceit, and less understanding of respect. Often brash in his facial gestures, he is able to very easily portray the emotions he wishes. While he is further along than most genin ninja in terms of age, he is still rather fit, and easily within his prime yet still.

Kuzuku wears official attire, robes, and other clothing that drapes over him. Despite his involvement with taijutsu, he prefers to wear longer dress which some would consider harder to fight with using taijutsu; though he finds no issue with it. No facial hair covers his face, allowing for the whole thing to be visible. Blank, colorless eyes of the Hyuuga rest easily, though they are always looking at you. He makes no effort to appear nice, or warm, and instead fully embraces his brash attitude. He often ignores people in the street, and will most definitely ignore the homeless or struggling, considering them 'beside the point.' Blue is one of his favorite colors, often wearing much of the cooler scale colors instead of the traditional white Hyuuga gear.
Forehead Protector: N/A.
Personality: Kuzuku's personality is one of overly strong opinions, and a swollen ego. As if he were a man of faith, he believes himself to be worthy of making decisions involving other people's lives. As if his own god is giving him permission to do as he pleases, in the aim of 'bettering the world around him.' He is quick to judge, and in most cases does not hide or make attempts to hide his pride. Having intertwined himself into the politics of the shinobi world, he has risen in social levels, without having raised his shinobi level. Even so, he has full confidence in his abilities as a shinobi, and is quick to use force in situations when force is a possible option. Although he holds himself with the nobility of a Hyuuga clan member, he is by no means like the others. Although he fights to appear justified, he is a man of much less honor, and will dip to low levels in order to accomplish what needs doing. He finds the clan's devotion to morals and discipline to be its weakness, more than its strength. Kuzuku has nothing against the use of tricks and cheats, so long as he wins the game in the end; whatever that game may be.
Clan: Hyuuga Clan.
Nindō: "It starts with but one person."

Combat Style:

Kuzuku defending against the deadly Housenka no Jutsu [Mythical Fire Phoenix] using his
unique Yōso no Jūken [Elemental Fist Style] taijutsu.

Origin | Background: Through the years, Kuzuku has strengthened his knowledge of precise and deadly taijutsu. While he did not undertake any official ranking within the shinobi system, years have offered him time enough to complete creative techniques and uses of what most would consider conventional Hyuuga abilities. Without a doubt, while he has the advanced skill of a Hyuuga taijutsu expert, he has taken to various other forms of combat aside form the basic Gentle Fist style. Now, instead of using only the Gentle Fist, he has acquired new skills which revolve around his Kekkei Genkai and Byakugan. Because of his chakra system's control, and usability, he has paired taijutsu and the art of illusions to further tamper with an opponent's sense of battle and judgement.  

Focus: Kuzuku's styles and creative techniques focus and rely on the use and manipulation of elemental chakra, or sometimes bland chakra to power normal physical attacks. With his genjutsu and taijutsu skills, Kuzuku uses colorful fighting tactics to overthrow and outlast an opponent, quickly defeating them with showy movements, and fancy footwork. He has a cruel fighting spirit, never taking mercy on an enemy, and thus fulfilling that needed of a shinobi of these times. Instead of disabling an opponent's chakra system with the numerous strikes, he uses pushes and pulses of chakra to generate stronger strikes, or relies on illusions to hide his attacks, and delay an opponent's reaction, focusing much more on physical damage than the chakra work of most Hyuuga's. His motto, and ideology on this being that a broken body will cripple most any shinobi. And those who relied on chakra and tactics to gain the advantage instead of an athletic and strong body would also have to answer to tempting illusions and sensual tricks.

Genetic Explanation: Everything of Kuzuku's personal creation are made possibly only due to the genetic separation of a Hyuuga from other branches of the shinobi civilization. Alongside his incredible visual prowess, attention to detail, and near flawless visual defense, Kuzuku has built himself on the promising Hyuuga ability to project, and intake chakra through the various points on their body. In combination with elemental chakra, he has been known to pull elements such as water and/or lightning into his strikes, or blur into a mirage like state to make countering or dodging at all harder and harder.

When creating the Yōso no Jūken style, Kuzuku did more work than perhaps other styles. At first, in the beginning I mean, he was a normal Jūken user, just as many others in the Hyuuga; it was only natural to be able to learn one style at a time, and starting with the most potent was the best choice, of course. However, Kuzuku had always longed for something a bit different. Not merely to be different, but in order to fight a different style than what he had seen thus far in his life. In watching fight after fight, he recognized a potential weakness in taijutsu based combatants: longer ranged opponents had the advantage while they were able to maintain their distance. It could be a tricky thing to overcome in certain cases, and powerful enough ninjutsu attacks could wear down on a Hyuuga shinobi. Sure, they had so many inborn defenses as well as defensive techniques, but he wanted a more direct defense. Something which would boost both offense and defense both. It started when experimenting with the chakra's flow through his meridian system, using the Hyuuga's kekkei genkai to monitor the chakra pathways and control them precisely. The trick was merely using these same techniques which elemental chakra; more physical chakra, chakra with form. The Jūken lost its effects, and changed with the use of elemental chakra. At first, it appeared that nothing was happening, but after much devotion and time, Kuzuku noticed the technique's potential. With the proper releases of raiton chakra through the Hyuuga's bodily points, the tenketsu points, he learned to electrify his attacks, pulsating the lightning through his body and expelling it into the world around him. With water, things were much more complex, as he could not create or source the liquids from mere air by expelling suiton chakra alone. Such was the property of advanced ninjutsu. Instead, learned merely to control and manipulate the liquids already around him in his taijutsu. Quickly designing methods of carrying water on his body, Kuzuku learned to manipulate the water with his chakra in order to fight as an extension of the body. By keeping its form around his attacks and defenses, he was able to maximize his physical range, as well as defend against a fire which would normally burn the skin. He understood that such effects could be achieved through the Hyuuga's pure chakra alone, and even knew of methods in order to do so with the Gentle Fist style, but wanted to create these methods for himself, thinking that an opponent's reaction to surprise would be his method of obtaining victory. As a serious draw back, however, he was never able to achieve the effects of the Hyuuga's normal Jūken through the use of elemental chakra. Because of this, the use of Yōso no Jūken remained a completely physical taijutsu technique, unlike other Hyuuga taijutsu.

Name: Yōso no Jūken [Elemental Fist Style]
Specialty: Taijutsu | Hījutsu.
Emphasis: Elemental control.
Requirements: Hyuuga Clan.
Description: A particular kind of taijutsu which focuses on the elements in order to extend their possible damage. Over time, Kuzuku developed these techniques in combination with what he knew of elemental manipulation. While still limited to the use of the elements in taijutsu, as opposed to ninjutsu, he was able to take on the element's natures so as to accomplish various things. As Kuzuku's elements are suiton and raiton, he is able to manipulate water and lightning during the use of this particular style of fighting. While he is unable to pair this style of fighting with the Hyuuga's Jūken, he considers this more plausible for many situations. When used in conjunction with suiton, Kuzuku is able to pull water around his fists, whether it be from water kept on his body, or water from the environment around him, and attack with the viscous liquids. With the input of chakra, he is able to deflect attacks with the thickened substance, or extend his attacks with the malleable substance so as to remove taijutsu's lacking range. With raiton chakra, Kuzuku's punches and attacks will carry the shocking power of lightning nature chakra. Ripples of static and tendrils of lightning can be seen with the attacks, cracking rocks and causing damage to substantial defenses.

Quote :

Name: Yōso no Jūken: Mizu 水
Rank: D-C.
Type: Taijutsu.
Range: Close (0m-5m), Mid (5m-10m)
Element: Raiton.
Description: This technique requires pre existing water, as it does not create water for use; as such, it cannot be used without gathering the water from somewhere. Often, Kuzuku carries various viles of water along his body in order to make use of this technique. The Mizu Jūken, as Kuzuku often calls it, calls forth the water around his hands, where it acts as a medium range extension. Hardening the liquid to the point of making it a legitimate defense, Kuzuku is able to fend off weapon based attacks, and knock aside weaker jutsu with considerable concentration. With the large concentrations of water around his hands, Kuzuku is able to extend his attacks in range so as to reach greater lengths and ranges, as well as use his extended reach to provide whip like maneuvers. Binding, and wrapping around that which he needs, the water acts as a fairly capable extension of his body. At D rank, this allows Kuzuku to accomplish basic tasks, such as range extensions on his attacks, and the deflection of most any weapon attack, as well as basic grappling, grabbing, etc abilities. At C rank, these concentrations of water become a bit more lethal, quickly changing shape in order to add range, harden, or sharpen slightly into dull attacks against medium ranged opponents.

Name: Yōso no Jūken: Inazuma 稲妻
Rank: D-C.
Type: Taijutsu.
Range: Close (0m-5m), Mid (5m-10m)
Element: Suiton.
Description: Revving up the lightning based chakra from within, Kuzuku calls it to form around his body in combination with various attacks for additional damage and hindering effects. Strong hits will send painful pulses of electricity, which can numb, and greatly damage an area. In using this style of taijutsu, Kuzuku has been able to easily overcome distance as an obstacle. This is made possible by causing lashes of lightning based chakra to execute attacks of range with the style's elemental control. Jolts, and strikes of colored lightning are common in the style's sporadic movements. Unlike the water based variation of this jutsu, the Inazuma version is more purely offensive, dealing with repeditive strikes and ailments to overcome an enemy. As such, this form is considered stronger against another martial artist's physical attacks than anything else. At D rank, this allows for shocking attacks, causing numbness and pain, as well as the tensing of muscles. Small, minor burns can and will appear on areas of contact. At C rank, this style's quick attacks and defenses can be extended in range by creating whip like lashes of lightning and other physical attacks. More prominent burning, and painful numbing takes place with this style's connections.

The creation of Kuzukue's Jūken no Shinkirō, now known as the Mirage Step Style, was much more simple. It is hardly an unpopular thought, that of blurring one's movements and causing a certain level of deception. However, most in the Hyuuga were bound by honor and tradition, therefore never taking complete advantage of the Clan's potential. To be fair, he only realized the potential for this technique through the learning of Yōso no Jūken's elemental control. In the beginning stages of his raiton manipulation, he observed how certain levels of raiton release would merely release heat. In high enough levels, it almost caused a distortion in the air, though it was of course nothing to really blind or astonish an opponent with. But it started a fascination with the idea of such a deception in ordinary taijutsu combat. In fact, it was this path which led Kuzuku to learning about genjutsu. Though, he did not find himself as easily fascinated with ordinary techniques in the genjutsu nature. Instead, he focused his genjutsu purely into his taijutsu combat, in an attempt to distinguish himself from the rest. Thus, the Mirage Step was born, utilizing an optical illusions ability to create visions and actually blur what was real. An idea which was simple enough, really, just not expected from a Hyuuga opponent.

As for his Jūken no Sazanami, it was perhaps the most easily made adjustment from the ordinary Jūken style of the Hyuuga. There was no odd chakra development, or different style, it was merely a different set of movements. A slightly augmented version of martial arts, which he learned over the long years of his life. Instead of the quick and snappy, anti personnel style of the Hyuuga's gentle fist, he focused on something perhaps a bit more focused to fending off weaponry attacks. Again, in an effort to combat the issue of range in a taijutsu user's fighting style, he developed a style which was only used to change ranges quickly. It was a style of quick footwork, and stance changing. It was less about throwing powerful attacks and having access to mighty guards. Instead, it was based on speed, and speed alone; the agility to bob and weave through various attacks, and constantly be in a state of avoiding and dodging at the closer or medium ranges. When fighting a sword, for instance, the style would focus on avoiding the ranged attacks by staying just out of focus. A step too far, or too right/left at the last second; a style built to buy time and wait for the perfect moment to strike and disarm. By no means is it perfect, just as no style is without weakness and human error, though it certainly gives a good approach to something hardly tolerable with the use of Jūken.

Name: Jūken no Sazanami [Rippling Fist Style]
Specialty: Taijutsu | Genjutsu.
Emphasis: Visual tricks.
Requirements: Hyuuga Clan.
Description: The Sazanami (Ripples on Water) style uses the opponent’s attacks to do damage to any attackers, dictating the flow of battle with the back-and-forth movements that throw the enemy off balance and mold around the attacks. The style was formed when swordsmen and traditional fighters came together to learn each other’s ways, and has since been passed down undiluted by time; that said, it's a rare style kept mainly within the backburners of the Hyuuga, often considered subpar to the Hyuuga's famous gentle fist. Because of its relationship with weaponry, most of the movements and techniques are considered strong to weapon utilizing techniques. Many of the moves, also, can also be executed with a sword or other bladed weapon without changing the move much, and as such the shinobi often uses a bladed when executing this style’s movements. Finesse refers to the ability to execute movements without excess damage, as in fine-point striking. It’s like having two thin boards of wood, one on top of the other with a small space in between, and striking it so that only the top board breaks. Another variation of this is hitting a cinder block placed on another one, and only breaking the lower one. The style relies on constant movement, and incredible agility which stuns and baffles an attacking opponent, as well as using the opponent's strengths and weaknesses against them. While it is a differing style of movement, the Hyuuga's Jūken style may be used alongside this less traditional martial arts style.

Name: Jūken [Gentle Fist Style]
Clan: Hyuuga
Emphasis: The Jūken emphasizes light high speed attacks that inflicts internal damage and disrupt the body's Chakra Pathway System to ultimately inhibit and an opponent's use of chakra as well as causing severe internal damage.
Requirements: Must have the Byakugan (Activated)
Description: The Gentle Fist (柔拳, Jūken) or Gentle Fist Style (柔拳法, Jūkenpō) is a form of hand-to-hand combat used by members of the Hyūga clan. It inflicts internal damage and disrupt the body's Chakra Pathway System so as to ultimately inhibit an opponent's use of chakra. To do this, the user surgically injects a small amount of their own chakra into an opponent's chakra pathway system. The infiltrating chakra can then be used to disrupt or divert chakra flow, preventing them from using jutsu.Targeting the Tenketsu can enhance the havoc and control a Jūken user can impose upon an opponent's chakra network. These special nodes, 361 in total, are key gate-keeping interceptions in the chakra circulatory network, thus forcibly opening or sealing them in whatever manner the Jūken-user sees fit is a powerful tactical option to have. Harming the chakra network in this way can directly damage internal organs due to their proximity to the chakra circulatory system. Even the slightest tap can cause severe internal damage, hence the name "gentle" fist.

Name: Gentle Fist
Rank: E-S
Type: Taijutsu
Description: This is the base fighting style the Hyuuga learns at an early age, which emphasis the abilities of their Byakugan which allows them to see chakra networks. This is an advanced fighting style which is difficult to learn and requires much practice and dedication to master. This technique allows the user to passively seal a persons Tenki points upon physical contact, thus slowly depleting their chakra in the process. 3CP will be depleted with each successful attack from the user, no matter how minimal it is. Because the chakra network and human system are so aligned, while depleting a persons tenki points the user also causes severe internal pain upon the contacted area. Technique does not apply to jutsu.
