Defense
Defense is your character's ability to take a beating. This can come in many forms though, and contrary to popular belief it does not mean you are just a large meat shield. Taking less damage in a fight can include many different abilities such as rolling with punches, knowing how to move so that strikes hit in less damaging areas, slowing enemy strikes with passive and miniscule use of chakra or even just having an enormous layer of fat. As many effects from stats, how defense is shown in your own character depends entirely on your choice of role play.
