Wild Flash Instinct

The Wild Flash Instinct is the highest level of taijutsu Kaoru is capable of using without opening the eighth and final gate. Opening the Seventh Gate, Kaoru adds to his already tremendously boosted speed and power by adding Lightning chakra to the fray, flowing it through his body. In this mode, his speed is untraceable to all Dōjutsu, even the Sharingan. The incredible speed and strength that the user now possesses is nothing short of fearsome, and activating this technique will not come without cost to the user.

The added lightning chakra means that the arms and legs of the user function like blades, with normal kicks and punches capable of shearing limbs off easily, as well as attacking from various different angles in a mere second. Completely unable to track the speed of the user, the opponent will be at a severe and literally insurmountable predicament, especially as he is being slashed, pounded and dismembered by Kaoru.

However after utilising the technique, Kaoru collapses unconscious to the ground, completely defenceless and unable to continue the battle. The severe speeds of movement will cause major tears in muscle fibre as well as tendons and ligaments. The massive damage ensures that Kaoru can almost certainly not continue fighting beyond this point, and will have to be hospitalised for at least one month to make a full recovery.
