Eight Trigrams Dance: Blessed Rotation

 Eight Trigrams Dance: Blessed Rotation is a technique that takes the graceful moves of the gentle step, and employs the rotation effect.To perform this technique, the user will use their speed and grace to position themselves close to the target before quickly beginning to release a low level of chakra all around them in order to create the same spin as rotation. However, the chakra will not be enough to lift them off the ground, and the user will generally try and keep a foundation leg planted on the ground while making their other leg horizontal with the rest of their body. A skilled taijutsu user will be able to make their body seemingly appear as a “T” having a perfect 180-degree angle from their torso to their outstretched leg. Since the leg is longer then the body, this technique is aimed in the form of a kick, though one far more powerful then any typical roundhouse, as the user will practically be spinning like a top, their base leg acting as a balancing point as they powerfully spin in order to offensively strike the opponent with their kicking leg.

The great downside here is that the user must be careful how they employ this technique, as once they are spinning, it is hard to stop on a dime. Thusly, they may risk great injury to their leg and foot if they collide with something that won’t give against the force. However, in the cases were this technique directly impacts the opponent, usually around the midsection; it is more then enough to knock the wind out of the opponent and send them flying back to the ground. Skilled users can also add more chakra to this technique in order to create a visible intense manifestation of chakra either on their heel or instep that increases the power of this move, and potentially shuts down Tenketsu at the area of impact.
