Chapter 23 - 19. KNOWLEDGE OF ALL THINGS

NARUTO

UZUMAKI,

NINE YEARS OLD...

Naruto have grown a lot since his arrival on the island almost a year ago. He is no longer the malnourished sad child. He is happy. He had developed a good amount of muscles for a nine-year-old and have gone through a growth spurt. He is 4ft 5in (134 cm) tall. His appetite has increased a lot. His brute strength, speed, durability, fluidity, agility and reflexes have also increased greatly as well as the range of his sensory perception. His eyes have turned red in colour instead of the usual blue. And the colour of his rosary beads have turned to dark yellow. As promised Yaichiro have added not only kenjutsu but also shurikenjutsu in Naruto's training regimen. He had decided to start with kenjutsu.

"I will teach you my kenjutsu style. It is not only focused on fluidity and precision but also powerful strikes. Let us begin!" Naruto found it strange that Yaichiro was teaching him kenjutsu and shurikenjutsu with a wooden tools. He found it insulting. He had practiced with real weapons at the academy. Dammit! Although those weapons were blunt. But the point is he did practice with real weapons. But then again he never practiced with a real sword. It wasn't taught at the academy. Those interested are needed to hire private tutors. He had once requested to the Third Hokage for one. He wanted to learn Kenjutsu but the Third Hokage refused his request on the ground that Naruto first had to get an 'A' in shurikenjutsu. Then he will think about Naruto's request. Sadly, despite his best efforts, he never got one. Hence he never get a chance to wield a sword.

LAND OF

WHIRLPOOLS,

TRAINING GROUND,

ONE WEEK LATER...

"Your strikes are dull. They lack strength. You just swing your sword without any purpose. Each swing must have a purpose. An aim. A specific aim." Yaichiro informed Naruto as the blond was trying to swing the small wooden blade towards him. The words halted his movements. He corrected himself then aimed at a specific place and again swung it.

"This time your stance is wrong!"

Naruto didn't feel dejected, he again corrected his stance.

"The enemy won't give you so much time." Yaichiro was upon him, a little pressure on the right place and Naruto dramatically fell on his back.

"I didn't say stop!"

With a loud groan, Naruto jumped. He straightened up, held the sword in his right hand. And then jumped back to create some distance. As he landed, he immediately ducked as Yaichiro appeared in front of him, swinging the blade toward his face. He then leapt backwards but found himself cornered against a tree. Naruto sighed. He lost again.

"Why did you lost?

"I wasn't aware of my surroundings. I focused too much on the sword and on my opponent. I'll be careful."

"Good! Today's training is over. The sun is setting! Let's go home before it gets dark!"

TWO MONTHS LATER...

For the past two months, Naruto is relentlessly practicing shurikenjutsu and kenjutsu with wooden swords and shurikens. With Yaichiro's help, Naruto had quickly managed to grasp the basics of both arts: Kenjutsu and Shurikenjutsu. He can easily hit moving objects with a very high accuracy and expertly wield a sword as if an extension of his own body. He can also wield dual swords. Naruto had learnt it only because of his sheer tenacity, devotion towards his great-grandfather and good hand-eye coordination. He had started practicing dual swordsmanship ever since he saw the picture of his great-grandfather with dual swords. He used to do it whenever Yaichiro left the island to purchase the weekly supplies or for bounty hunting. Since Yaichiro's clone lacked intelligence. It never informed Yaichiro. Previously he used to practice it with sticks, later with the dummy swords. Being a single sword user, Yaichiro wished for Naruto to also become a single sword wielder just like him thereby Yaichiro started his training with a single sword but one day Naruto surprised him by wielding dual swords. The movements were rough. But Naruto had the base cleared. All that was needed is polishing. Although Yaichiro is a single sword wielder but he is knowledgeable enough to provide that.

But that was almost two months ago. Nowadays Naruto has become proficient in welding the dual wooden swords. As a result, Yaichiro have decided to start teaching Naruto with real weapons. Hence, he was inspecting all the usable weapons in the store room, trying to find a good enough pair of swords. He soon found one. He grabbed the hilt of one of the swords and carefully inspected them. He unsheathed them one after another. The blades were shinning. They were in a very good condition.

LAND OF

WHIRLPOOLS,

NEAR THE WEST COAST...

"Naruto! Come here! I have a surprise for you!" Yaichiro called his nephew. Naruto was busy trying to stay above the sea against the violent waves generated by the whirlpools while fighting a clone of his uncle with the Uzumaki taijutsu style. He is going toe to toe with the clone. Of course! The clone is weak! It's Chūnin level. Although Naruto's performance is excellent for a nine year old.

"Coming!" Taking advantage of the distraction the clone ended the fight with a fierce kick sending Naruto flying underwater. Naruto emerged above the water surface and brushed it off like nothing. He didn't feel anything. The kick wasn't anything special. His durability has increased a lot.

"What is my score today?" Naruto asked himself as he approached his uncle, "Ah! It's 6-9." He frowned. At this rate he will lose today again. It will be his second consecutive loss in a row. He had already lost yesterday. It's looks like high Chūnin level taijutsu is really difficult.

Naruto is frustrated with his continuous losses against the clone, "What's the matter uncle?!"

"I want to talk to you about something important. Congratulations! Nephew! You have mastered the Uzumaki Taijutsu Style: Maelstrom Fist. You just need to keep practicing it and keep improving yourself." Naruto nodded. He is pleased to hear the praise from his uncle. "Since you have successfully completed some of the most advanced chakra control exercises and have gained an excellent control over your chakra evident by your mastery of the Finger Carving Seal Practice Chakra Control exercise thus I have decided to advance your training." Naruto got excited, "You are also on your way in completing the wrist strength enhancement exercises. You have gained agility and fluidity in your movements thanks to the proper diet plans, herbs, stretching exercises and continuous discipline. You practice kenjutsu and shurikenjutsu until your wrists hurts. As a result of this dedication you've completely mastered the basics of both arts: kenjutsu and shurikenjutsu. That's why I think you are ready. You can now start practicing kenjutsu and shurikenjutsu with real weapons." Yaichiro praised and gave the real swords to the blond. "The first rule of kenjutsu is that you take great care of your sword. If you don't, the sword will lose its sharpness and become useless. This is actually a principle of samurai, but applies to shinobi as well. Especially on a shinobi swordsmen."

Naruto looked at his uncle who continued his explanation. He had star in his eyes. He can finally have his own sword. "Just as a samurai takes great care of his sword, a shinobi must also take great care of all of their tools. There might come a time when a shuriken or kunai in your possession will determine the difference between your survival and death, so it is necessary to always take good care of the tools you possesses. Do you understand?"

"Got it! Now give them to me!" Naruto jumped up and down in excitement. Yaichiro laughed and gave them to Naruto, "Naruto! Handle them with care. They are very sharp. You might get cut if you aren't careful!".

Naruto nodded and quickly unsheathed them one after another, "Woah! They look great! Finally! My own swords! I will take great care of them." He swung them around to get a hang of them. How he had envied it. He had seen his Uncle's sword but Yaichiro hadn't allowed him to touch it. With no choice left, he had practiced kenjutsu with those boring wooden swords which wasn't fun at all. This is a gift from his uncle and Naruto would punch himself before allowing such awesome weapons like this to go to waste.

"Make sure you do that! You must also take great care of these shurikens and kunai too." Saying this, Yaichiro handed Naruto two black equipment pouches, which can be worn on the lower back. Naruto sheathed the swords and tied them on his back. Then he took both equipment pouches from his uncle and took out a kunai from one of them and tried to get a feel out of it. In a flash, he threw that Kunai at a target. He then tested the shurikens, "Woah! The real weapons are a lot heavier than the wooden ones. It will take some time for me to adapt with their weight. So! When can we start?" Naruto asked energetically.

"As soon as we finish the breakfast....."

TWO WEEK LATER...

"Nephew! Do you know all of the standard twelve hand signs?" It was imperative for the blond to learn to flawlessly perform the hand seals correctly and swiftly or else the jutsus might misfire. Naruto frowned at the question, "Come to think of it. The academy teachers did mentioned them. What was them? Umm... Snake... Ox... Horse... Dragon... Rat... Cat..." A booming laughter of his uncle interrupted Naruto. "Hahahaha!".

Naruto sighed and confessed, "Ok! Ok! Uncle! I admit it! I don't remember them, I used to hate them because it always took me too long to perform them. And the teachers used to mock me that I would never be a good shinobi because of it." Of course those b*stards did, Yaichiro mused.

"You know that hand signs are used to perform many ninjutsu, genjutsu, and other secret arts other than taijutsu." Naruto nodded at this information, "What you don't know is that hand seals are also used to perform fūinjutsus. Thus you must learn them so that you become capable of easily performing the hand seal based fūinjutsus. Another reason is the hand seals are designed to aid people in properly summoning and moulding chakra necessary to perform a technique. There are different sequences of hand seals for every technique, requiring memorisation. Hence why the sequence must be performed flawlessly without a single mistake. Did you understood my explanation?" Naruto nodded with a smile, earning a nod from Yaichiro. "The twelve basic hand seals are Ram, Monkey, Dragon, Rat, Bird, Snake, Ox, Dog, Horse, Tiger, Boar and Hare. Aside from these twelve hand seals, we will also learn some more hand seals excessively used by our clan." Yaichiro then in a puff of smoke summoned several pamphlets. He handed them over to Naruto one after another. Each of these pamphlets showed the hand signs with their name. The red head continued his explanation, "While techniques may require a number of hand seals to work, a skilled ninja can use less or even no hand seals at all to perform the same technique. For example the 'Uzumaki Barrier Fūin: Silencing Barrier' which requires a total of four hand seals to activate. I have managed to master it to the point of not needing a single hand seal to erect it and could use several Water Release techniques with only one hand seal. Also, by reading the hand seals of the opponent, you can predict the nature of the technique to be performed. Certain elemental releases often end in the hand seals they are affiliated with. For example, Wind Release often ends with Bird, Water Release often ends with Dog, Fire Release often ends with Tiger, Lightning Release often ends with Snake, Earth Releases too end with the Snake and sometimes with Tiger hand seals. So far do you understood all of my explanations?" Yaichiro again asked for confirmation. Naruto nodded again. "Now we will start working on your hand speed. I will add practicing different hand seal sequences for next few months in your training regimen. You can practice it in our house too. I will increase the complexity and sequence of hand seals from time to time whenever I feel satisfied with your speed of weaving the given hand seals until you become capable of performing any and all hand seals sequence to my liking. Now! Let us start with basic hand seals!"

Suddenly Yaichiro remembered something, "Ah! I almost forgot! Although rare, it is possible for a shinobi to be able to do hand seals with just one hand. I can also use them. It was one of the reason why I prefer single swordsmanship. I wield the sword with my dominant arm and at the same time I weave jutsu with the help of my other arm. It gives me an edge over my opponent. I learnt it from my father who learnt it from a captured Kirigakure Missing-nin. So shall we start?!"

"Yesss!" Naruto said in a firm tone.

TWO MONTH LATER...

"We have practiced enough kenjutsu for today. Now! How about some shurikenjutsu?" Naruto didn't mind. He sheathed the swords and took out some shurikens from his pouch.

As usual, Yaichiro created a clone and send it on the opposite side. "Try to hit my clone with those shurikens! If you manage to hit it, then today we will have ramen for evening snack."

"All right! Now that's what I call motivation! Uncle! I will do it in no time."

The clone stood there motionless as Naruto aimed the projectile and threw them. It was six in total. None of them came even close to be considered a threat to the Chūnin level clone. The clone easily dodged them. Naruto concentrated and analysed the clone's every movement in order to find the weak spot in it's defence. He didn't found one yet.

Yaichiro watched the blond throwing the shuriken time after time with amusement. This clone is a lot stronger than the previous ones. It's high Chūnin level.

TWO HOURS LATER...

Naruto flinched in pain, after the throw, signalling the end of the exercise for today. He tried several different combinations in order to trap the clone and force it to do some mistake. But so far he hasn't succeed, "You stupid clone! Stand still!" Naruto screamed in frustration and tried for the last time. He threw six shurikens which once again the clone easily dodged, "I hate you! I hate you so much! Please! Please! Just once! Let me hit you for once! Can't you understand? My ramen is at stake here!"

The clone stood motionless as if it's mocking him at his inability to hit it. Naruto knew that these clones have no intelligence. There intelligence mostly revolve around the task for which they are summoned. Still! Can't it understand just for once! His precious ramen is at stake here.

"Nephew! You have practiced enough! Now collect all of those shurikens and kunais. The sun will set in another hour. We have to go home before it gets dark!" Yaichiro was impressed. Naruto's shurikenjutsu has improved a lot. The previous clone would have been incapable to stand up against the onslaught of current combinations.

"Ok! What about my ramen?"

"Did you hit my clone?"

"Noooooo!'

"Then you know my answer!" Naruto sighed in dismay, "But today I will make an exception!"

"Wohooo!" Naruto jumped with joy.

Yaichiro picked up two shurikens, "Now! Watch this!" Yaichiro threw those two shurikens at the clone. The clone successfully avoided both shurikens but as soon as the shurikens came close to it, one of the shuriken deflected the other shuriken causing it to change it's trajectory entirely. The shuriken hit right on the clone's chest causing it revert back to wood from which it is created. That's how Yaichiro had created so many practice dummies for Naruto.

"Woah! What was that? Teach that to me! Uncle! Teach me! How did you do it?"

"Tomorrow! I will teach you that. It's a deflection technique. From tomorrow onwards, I will also teach you the use of wires in shurikenjutsu."

ONE MONTH LATER...

Surprisingly, Naruto had quickly adapted with the real swords and shurikens. His hand speed in performing hand seals have also increased significantly. He had also performed brilliantly in the use of wires in shurikenjutsu and shuriken deflection techniques. Hence, Yaichiro has decided to start teaching the Uzumaki sword techniques to Naruto.

The summers in the Land of Whirlpools are humid, full of blazing rays of sun and heat. Naruto's clothes were drenched in sweat. Still, he was relentless in his training, trying to do everything at his level best.

"You need to increase your speed a little more when you drew both swords." Yaichiro corrected the flaw in the kenjutsu kata of Naruto and once again ordered him to perform the kata. This time he performed it correctly. Naruto drew his swords, and sheathed them quickly, he was able to split split a dummy in half. Naruto smiled. He finally succeeded. Yaichiro is teaching Naruto a dual sword drawing technique so powerful that it can easily cut through heavy armour and still bisect the enemy in half. "Very good! Nephew! Now keep practicing it till you are able to do it even while sleeping."

SOMETIME LATER...

"You can rest now!" The blond nodded at his uncle's suggestion and took a seat near the sea to freshen up a bit. "I think you have grasped the fundamentals of the quick-draw sword technique. You just need to continue practicing it. I will start teaching you another technique of mine."

"Ok! Uncle!"

ONE WEEK LATER...

"Again!"

"Focus Naruto! You need to swing them at the same time." Naruto nodded and took a few steps back. He crossed his swords and charged forward like a bull, slicing every single dummy in his path. This time he delivered the strikes on the dummies perfectly. With this technique, Yaichiro is capable of defeating several C-ranked missing-nin at once. These are some of the kenjutsu techniques of Yaichiro that can also be used with dual swords too.

"Again!" Yaichiro ordered the blond. Naruto nodded and took a deep breath, trying to calm his mind. This time too he delivered the strikes perfectly.

Yaichiro was satisfied with his nephew's performance, "Perhaps we should take a break and continue after some rest."

Naruto nodded. He is feeling thirsty. Kenjutsu sure is a hard working shinobi art. He plopped down on the ground next to his uncle and tried to calm his breathing.

Yaichiro hand over a cup of water to his nephew. Naruto smiled. In a short time, his uncle sure understood to read him better than anybody.

"Naruto! I think we should step-up your kenjutsu training!"

"What do you mean uncle?!"

TWO MONTH LATER...

After eight months of continuous practice of kenjutsu and shurikenjutsu, Naruto had mastered both arts. He was excellent at the use of wires and deflection techniques in shurikenjutsu. He had grown a lot more muscular. His appetite has also increased a lot. He is now 4ft 7in(139 cm) tall. His brute strength, speed, fluidity, agility and reflexes have increased a great deal especially his durability. What's more, Naruto's vitality and life-force have become a lot more strong, as a result it awakened Naruto's innate healing prowess. In addition, Yaichiro have helped Naruto further develop the range of his sensory perception. Surprisingly Naruto have also developed a keen sense of smell. The pupils of his eyes are now redder than before, they have turned deep red in colour. Also the colour of his rosary beads have turned to light blue.

LAND OF

WHIRLPOOLS,

ROCKY TRAINING FIELD...

Naruto unsheathed both of his sword. He started channelling chakra through them. Yes! Naruto have learnt the Chakra Flow Technique. Since Naruto have already mastered the Finger Carving Seal Practice Chakra Control exercise and is currently practicing the 'Chakra Emission Practice' Chakra Control exercise so it wasn't that hard for him to get a hang of the 'Chakra Flow Technique'.

He held both of his swords in a vertical manner across his face, and then delivered a fierce diagonal slash with each one of them at the same time. This technique showed immense power and range, it easily bisected a large boulder in two.

"Very Good! Nephew!" Yaichiro praised, "Now show me the next kenjutsu technique."

Naruto nodded. This time he imbued his swords with some more chakra, then charged forward with the swords crossed behind his own head horizontally. He uncrossed them in a single motion and unleashed the chakra at the same time. It allowed him to cut the trunk of a nearby tree in two pieces. Yaichiro smiled at the result. Naruto surely have learnt the technique. All he needs is some more muscle power. It looks like he had to start teaching Naruto the Chakra Transition Practice.

"Next!"

Naruto again nodded. He took a deep breath. He hardened his grip on the swords and once again imbued them with an extra amount of chakra, sharpening them further. He then ran forward and performed an X-shaped slash. It was powerful enough to cut the armour enhanced wooden dummy into four pieces. Yaichiro became satisfied with the results.

"You can rest now nephew!" The blond nodded at his uncle's suggestion and took a seat on the opposite side of his uncle. "As I have stated before we will deal with the theoretical knowledge of shinobi arts once your body have grown strong enough. Once you have achieved more than an acceptable level of physique according to my standards. And you have done that. You are now as strong as any Chūnin in all the shinobi arts I have taught you so far. Your taijutsu, kenjutsu, shurikenjutsu, Sensory Perception technique, Hand Seals weaving speed and, the use of wires and deflection techniques in shurikenjutsu is High Chūnin level. Your chakra control is Jōnin level. You just have to continue honing these skills and always keep trying to advance to the next level." Yaichiro felt proud of his nephew's achievements, "Just so you know none of the Konoha Shinobi Academy students are taught any chakra control exercises you have already mastered except for the Leaf Concentration Practice and Kunai Concentration Practice until after their graduation."

Naruto smiled. So he is way ahead of his peers, no, former peers of the academy. Yaichiro continued his explanation, "The graduation exam of Konoha requires the examinees to perform only three ninjutsu namely Substitution, Transformation and Clone Technique."

Naruto frowned. He doesn't like to be left behind, "And when are you going to start teaching me that uncle?" Naruto interrupted.

"I would have told you about that if you had allowed me to finish my talk."

"Oh!"

"As I was saying, to graduate from Konoha Academy, the examinees had to successfully perform three ninjutsu namely Substitution, Transformation and Clone Technique which I can guarantee you could learn within days."

"Really!?"

Yaichiro Nodded. Tobirama Senju would have been rolling in his grave right now at seeing such low level requirements for graduation.

"Take that Konoha! Take that Sakura! Take that Daikoku Sensei! Take that Iruka Sensei! Take that Kiba! Now who is the loser! You all are the loser! Loser! Loser! Oh yeaah! Oh yeaaah!" Naruto started dancing in joy. Yaichiro was amused. He had never seen Naruto so much happy before.

"Back to the real world nephew! Back to the real world nephew!" Yaichiro awakened Naruto back to the real world.

"Huh!" Naruto looked at his uncle and then took note of his surroundings. He felt embarrassed. It looks like he got carried away.

"So! Are you going to start teaching me ninjutsu?"

"No!"

"Why not?" Naruto gave a crestfallen look to Yaichiro.

"Let me finish my explanation then you will understand!"

"Ok!" Naruto nodded with a beaming smile.

"Naruto! I think it is time for us to talk about something important. I believe your body's physique is now adequate for us to do this conversation. I have a way which could help you quickly gain lots of different kinds of knowledge my father Yoshitsune have accumulated over the years. You won't have to study boring books and scrolls. But it requires for us to together perform a special fūinjutsu developed by my father."

"Fūinjutsu developed by your father?" Naruto looked puzzled. He had never seen his uncle so serious before. But he is also excited since he will get to see an Uzumaki fūinjutsu.

"Yes! A fūinjutsu developed by my father. My Father Yamashiro knew that if somebody revive Uzushio, they will need all the help they could get. He somehow wanted to help the Uzumaki who would have eventually revived our village. Hence he decided to start spying and gathering information on other villages, their famous shinobi, their jutsus, their weaknesses, their training method, thinking pattern and much more, in a very detailed way. Later on he got inspired to create a technique which will allow him to pass on not only the information he gathered on other villages but also all the knowledge he possessed to the leader of the revived Uzushio. Thus he did a lot of research and the end result was a forbidden fūinjutsu known as the 'Knowledge Of All Things Technique'."

"Woah! He must be super strong if he created something like that." Naruto exclaimed though he did not understand some parts but he did understood most of the explanation.

Yaichiro nodded. He smiled and continued his explanation, "This seal not only contains the knowledge of the Great Uzushio Library, the Uzumaki techniques and fūinjutsu but also what my father understand of the Shinobi World, politics, chakra, jutsu creation, Shinobi tactics and strategy, history and geography of the Shinobi World, etc; not to mention the knowledge my father gathered on other villages, their famous shinobi, their jutsus, weaknesses, their training method, thinking pattern and much more, in a very detailed way. All of this knowledge could be yours Naruto. Accept it Naruto! It is the ultimate work of my father."

"So I would become super intelligent if I accept your proposal!? Right!! Uncle?"

"You could say that!"

"Then I accept your proposal!"

"Are you sure? You might go through a complete personality change because of this fūinjutsu."

"But I will become super intelligent! Right!? Uncle!?"

"Yes!"

"Then let's do it!" Naruto announced. He is giddy because he will become even more intelligent than Sakura after going through whatever his uncle is suggesting.

"Ok!" Yaichiro nodded. Naruto could definitely handle this. His body is now powerful enough to handle any kind of drawbacks this fūinjutsu might cause. As for Naruto's mind, well, if Naruto's mind could survive the toxic environment and constant mental abuse of Konohagakure from such a young age and still not lose his sanity even after being jailed despite being an innocent. Then he definitely has a very strong personality and mind.

Beside all of these, he is also the Jinchūriki of the most powerful Bijū, the Nine-Tails and the Nine-Tails definitely wouldn't allow anything to happen to Naruto because it's survival is linked with Naruto's survival. Also Naruto is the child of prophecy, he is the one destined to save their clan and revive their village. So he will definitely triumph this trial. It is one of the main reason why Yaichiro has no worry in using his father's forbidden fūinjutsu on Naruto.

"Then let's go back home. I will prepare the seal." Yaichiro ordered the blond. Naruto nodded. He and his uncle both stood up and then headed back towards their residence.

=======================

Seasickness Fist

Similar to the Drunken Fist, the user harnesses the queasiness caused to them by motion sickness to lend them a degree of unpredictability in combat. They can also vomit on their opponent in order to totally gross them out.

___________________________

Kusakage Style: Explosive Palm

A pure taijutsu attack in which the user delivers a set of open-handed as well as closed-fist hits along with kicks to the opponent. This series of attacks is so fast that it can barely be followed by the naked eye.

___________________________

Maelstrom Fist

This is a style of taijutsu unique to the Uzumaki Clan. It is comprised of sheer unconventional and unpredictable movements in combat.

It was developed by a young Uzumaki Clansman along with his master after their confrontation with the Uchiha Clansmen on the sea. He along with his Uzumaki and Senju comrades was travelling on the sea for a bodyguard mission. During this voyage, the young Uzumaki who was out on the sea for the first time in his life became seasick. Soon on their way, they were ambushed by a large group of Uchiha Clansmen, leaving the seasick Uzumaki with no choice but to fight the Uchiha alongside his comrades. The seasick Uzumaki somehow managed to harness the queasiness caused to him by motion sickness which allowed him a degree of unpredictability in combat. His taijutsu became irregular, erratic and unconventional but very effective even against the Sharingan, forcing the opponent Uchiha Clansmen to go on the defensive or retreat. All the while, he was observed by an Uzumaki taijutsu master, he watched everything and became so impressed that he took the young Uzumaki as his disciple. He dedicated years over developing this taijutsu style with his disciple and named it 'Maelstrom Fist'.

In this technique, the user rapidly and relentlessly bombard the target with a variety of different techniques that make use of a set of open-handed as well as closed-fist hits along with kicks and body slam even head butt. It comprises of delivering pure, powerful, unconventional and unpredictable taijutsu attacks on their opponent with precision, at various angles and locations. Both kicks, punches, palms and take downs are among the offensive movements, but the emphasis is always on defence. Even those who wield the Sharingan have shown to have had trouble keeping up with the user's movements and were forced to go on the defensive or retreat. The open-handed hits were generally used to target the opponent's pressure points. This taijutsu technique can also be employed against multiple opponents.

___________________________

Disturbance Taijutsu

Akin to a warrior's dance performance, B is able to rapidly and relentlessly bombard his target, with precision, at various angles and locations. This style, comprised of sheer unpredictable movements, can easily catch his opponents off-guard. Even those who wield the Sharingan have shown to have had trouble keeping up with B's movements and were forced to go on the defensive or retreat. B is also able to employ this technique against multiple of opponents, as shown in his fight with Taka.

Combining this fighting style's wild nature with swords, B is able to increase the lethality of his attacks. B, using any number of swords can easily close in on and exploit an opponent's vital points. To maximise the style's killing potential, he could, in tandem with his seven Supervibrato Lightning Release Swords, make use of his unique and peculiar kenjutsu Acrobat.

FORBIDDEN UZUMAKI FŪIN: KNOWLEDGE OF ALL THINGS TECHNIQUE

The 'Knowledge Of All Things Technique' is a forbidden fūinjutsu developed by Yoshitsune Uzumaki. This fūinjutsu allows him to pass on all his vast accumulated knowledge to his recipient. The recipient, however, should be young, compatible and with a very strong body. This will help the recipient to adapt with the changes that this seal will bring in them. Here compatibility means that the creator and recipient must belong to the same clan. The recipient should also have a very strong mind and personality. This will help them to cope with the stress that their brain will eventually go through due to the effects of this seal. This stress is so much that it can make a person with a weak mind insane or it can even destroy their brain itself.

It is labeled as a "Forbidden Technique" because this seal greatly shortens the life span of it's creator, it consumes their life force instead of the usual chakra, especially their spiritual energy, to store all kinds of knowledge inside this scroll's seal.

Yoshitsune Uzumaki was inspired to create this technique after studying about the Creation of All Things Technique which Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki used to create smart and powerful beings with each possessing a unique personality and vast knowledge known as Bijū. The Nine-Tails being the most intelligent among all Bijūs. This forbidden fūinjutsu for most of the time is kept sealed in a special large white scroll created by Yoshitsune Uzumaki.

In this technique, the user first unseal the special white scroll and activates it which causes it's fūinjutsu formula to glow dim red. The fūinjutsu formula is as follow: It has a large kanji of 'knowledge' at the centre, circularly surrounded by various sūtras, kanjis, hindi scripts, and other symbols which are then surrounded with twelve magatamas. The magatama is then surrounded by several circular lines which connects it with the rest of the formula written all over inside this large scroll [1]. Next the user have to carefully set up the Ritual Altar [2]. Afterwards, the user then asks the recipient to put their hand on top of the kanji of 'knowledge' and channel some chakra. The seal absorb the chakra and analyse it. After recognising the chakra, the entire circular area around the kanji of 'knowledge' starts glowing. It then starts spreading a specific white seal pattern all over the recipient's head, spine and body in the form of parallel lines, originating from their hand and heavily located around their head and spinal cord. It puts the recipient in a comatose state, they are left in a state similar to suspended animation, still alive, but just barely, so much that their chakra flow almost stops. The user then quickly pick the recipient up and put him/her at the center of the Ritual Altar and activates it. It gradually light up the fūinjutsu formula around the altar. This process consumes enormous amounts of chakra. It could cause chakra exhaustion even to an adult Uzumaki and leave them bedridden for days.

Once fully activated, the ritualistic fūinjutsu formula starts producing many long fine Chakra Threads that are launched from the formula onto the body of the recipient. It wraps around their body in the form of a Chakra Cocoon. The Chakra Cocoon then gains the kanji for 'seal' (封) with twelve magatamas surroundings it in a circular manner. This Chakra Cocoon then creates a powerful barrier that seals the recipient off from all outside forces, even death. It is used to counter the ill effects of the Knowledge Of All Things Technique which sometimes harm the recipient while transferring the entire knowledge of the creator stored in the seal into the recipient's mind via the creator's spiritual energy. In short, the Cocoon acts as a life support system.

Once the Cocoon formation is complete, the seal immediately starts integrating the knowledge stored inside it into the recipient's brain slowly and slowly. Thus it leaves the recipient in comatose state for weeks until all the knowledge is transferred inside their brain.

So when the seal transfers all kinds of knowledge stored inside it into the recipient's mind it will vanish from recipient's body. The recipient will wake up from their forced comatose state and will cut their way out of the Chakra Cocoon. Each of the twelve magatamas of this seal is a physical representation of the amount of knowledge the seal contains. Hence magatamas can vary. Twelve magatamas means it will take twelve weeks' time for this entire process to complete. With each magatama's disappearance, a certain amount of knowledge is transferred in the recipient's brain, showing the signs for completion of this complex process.

This seal not only contains the knowledge of the Great Uzushio Library[3], the Uzumaki techniques and fūinjutsu but also Yoshitsune Uzumaki's understanding of the Shinobi World, politics, chakra, jutsu creation, Shinobi tactics and strategy, history and geography of the Shinobi World, etc as well as the knowledge Yoshitsune Uzumaki gathered on other villages, their famous shinobi, their jutsus, weaknesses, their training method, thinking pattern and much more, in a very detailed way. Hence whenever the recipient will awaken, they would have gone under a total and complete personality change due to receiving the spiritual energy of the creator of this forbidden fūinjutsu. In this way, one can conclude that the seal not only act as a medium for transferring creator's knowledge into recipient via the user but also in nourishing the recipient's spiritual energy and mind as well.

{{{ A/N: [1]: The fūinjutsu formula of the white scroll kinda looks like the one present on Gerotora's stomach scroll surrounded by twelve magatamas and circular lines.

[2]: The set up looks more or less the same as the one used by Harusame to extract on Six-Tailed Utakata.

[3]: The Great Uzushio Library contains information on Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, Kenjutsu, Bukijutsu, etc. }}}

Ninja Art: Cocoon

With the help of Chōmei, the user creates a cocoon that allows them to suppress chakra absorption from outside sources, providing additional defences at the same time. The cocoon is highly durable and can only be pierced with a chakra blade, and only when hit in its weak-spot, which can be found via the Byakugan.
