Cloud Shocking Step: Silent Raid

The Cloud Shocking Step: Silent Raid (歩驚雲・無音襲撃, Hokeiun: Muon Shūgeki) is the first technique of the Original Eight Techniques. It is a technique that incorporates silence into an otherwise noisy powerful kick, with slight sacrifice on raw power.

Usage
The user starts off by charging chakra into the foot while stepping on the air. Once fully charged, the user cloaks his or her whole body before bursting toward the target and deliver a powerful kick. The charka cloak will reduce the noise created by the powerful kick, but not completely. In return for surprise element, the power and speed of the kick is reduced by at least a quarter.

As stated, the technique does not cover the sound completely, thus if the enemy knows the user is around, the technique will be less useful than a normal kick, due to loss of power and speed. For this reason, the technique is more suitable to be used as an initiative move and recommended to be performed high above the air unseen.
