Cannonball Strike

This technique is a taijutsu from the powerful Negame Heel style and is a great evasive move when up against a speeding object, but is also a powerful offensive taijutsu skill. After getting a running start, the user jumps into the air and uses their chakra to propel them forward as they curl into a tight ball. Upon reaching the target, the user can execute either a heavy drop kick or a downward axe kick, depending on their position. This attack is a great follow-up move and is also a last-resort defense when up against projectiles and the need for close combat is dire.

Taro Hyūga, who is versed in the Negame Heel style, has learned this technique and created his own Gentle Fist-enhanced version of it.
