 Jūken | Gentle Fist | 柔拳
Description: The Gentle Fist style of martial arts was first developed by the Hyūga clan as a means to fully capitalize on all abilities granted to them by their Byakugan kekkei genkai. Unlike most forms of hand to hand combat Jūken is what is known as a soft style, and as such its purpose is not to deal external damage by breaking breaking bones and instead diverts the force of opponent's attacks and uses that force against them.

As a part of the training to master Gentle Fist, prospective trainees are taught how to expel chakra from their tenketsu at will. This grueling training often takes years, but upon completion a master of the Jūken arts is capable of expelling chakra from all of the three hundred and sixty-one tenketsu in their body. This chakra is used as a means of enhancing the damage of Jūken attacks by surgically injecting chakra into the organs, tenketsu, and muscles of their opponents, effectively shutting down their bodies and leaving them open to more attacks. When combined with the Byakugan of the Hyūga clan, this fighting style becomes near unmatched in strength and versatility.

'Trigram Charges' may be spent in this way once every 2 turns.

Description: Developed by the Hyūga clan as the perfect counterpart to their kekkei genkai, the Gentle Fist fighting style is known for its ability to deal massive internal damage while expending relatively little energy by injecting one's chakra into their target's body. When coupled with the Byakugan's enhanced visual acuity, a practitioner is capable of directly attacking their opponent's tenketsu and thereby shutting down their foes capability to use chakra.

Revised this to fix the issue that came up during the chunin exam. Juken Mastery no longer adds an unmodified portion of damage that is also considered base damage.

[Leon]

Good job on the revamp.

Approved!
