Hyuuga Jutsu

[sakaki]

_{Hakke Sanjuunishou (Eight Divination Signs, Thirty-Two Palms of the Hand)
Rank: C
Type: Offensive / Clan Taijutsu
Range: 0 - 5 meters
Special: Each successful set of strikes can seal off one particular type of chakra flow - be it a certain release, genjutsu, or ninjutsu - for up to three posts, plus one more each time retrained. Moves around the Hakke to strike at near-shunshin speeds.
Description: Once the Hyuuga is comfortable envisioning their Hakke domain and establishing it as their own personal striking grounds, they are taught the art of striking and sealing tenketsu. Moving their hands and arms and bullet like speeds, the Hyuuga extends their palm towards their enemy, and leads with both hands outstretched, so that their fingers land first - 2 strikes, then 4, 8, 16, and finally, 32 tenketsu. As the victim is caught in attack, they are temporarily paralyzed if they are touched even once. Although the result isn't as drastic as 64 or 128 strikes, it can nonetheless close off a specific type of chakra flow within the victim of the Hyuuga's choosing.
Domain: Hyuuga.}

Bolded part is the part in question. When learning/re-training, do we need to specify what type of jutsu/release we can seal? Or is it just the maximum amount of types of jutsu/releases we can seal?

Actually you can say that depending on what you're trying to do, but I'm not sure if I'm right or wrong on this. Your wording on your question confused me.

[-- Orochi.]

If I'm reading correctly, then there is no direct specification. It's either the Ninjutsu Flow, Genjutsu Flow, or A Release that you're choosing to shut off.

You're a Hyuuga. So naturally, your eyes and the Jyuuken training allow you to close any one of those. So you don't have to specify anything until you're in combat. Actual combat is pretty much the only relevant place you'd state whether it's the Ninjutsu Flow you're closing, the Genjutsu Flow you're closing, or a Release you're closing. The only reason you'll learn/re-train it is to increase the number of posts in which this jutsu's effect continues. Not to obtain another type of flow you can interrupt.

Hope that makes sense/answers your question.

for up to three posts, plus one more each time retrained.

The retraining increases the duration of the the seal, not whatever type you seal. When you perform the technique you simply choose which portion of their chakra you're going to seal off.

Aaaaaah. Okay. It just kinda... sounded like added specs. Like a list. (Point A, Point B, etc.)

Thank you for that clarification, Devious.


On that note, can you seal Taijutsu? (It does use chakra, and all...)
