Official Move Approval III

[Kakashi Hatake]

Alternate Form: Strong Fist Taijutsu (2000 OM)
[spoiler][/spoiler]
Developed by Might Guy, Konohagakure’s ‘Green Beast’, the Strong Fist style is exactly what one would expect. With a complete lack of talent in any shinobi art, Guy has been forced to focus all of his training on honing his martial art skills, perfecting his own unique style of fighting in the process. Characterized by fast, crushing blows, this style can be seen as an all-out offensive. Having been Might Guy’s rival since they were children, Kakashi has witnessed the style innumerable times and has begun to mimic and utilize some of its more basic maneuvers in battle. For users such as Guy and Rock Lee, this style is strengthened (and its downsides lessened) through constant training and advanced use of the Eight Inner Gates. As Kakashi lacks the extreme conditioning of Guy and Lee, his blows (though stronger than his normal strikes) can be somewhat inaccurate and his defenses remain low.

Alternate Form: Gentle Fist Taijutsu (2000 OM)
[spoiler][/spoiler]
The trademark fighting style of Konohagakure’s Hyūga clan, Gentle Fist is characterized by its broad stance and wide, sweeping movements. As the name suggests, the style does not seem overtly offensive; most strikes are either palm blows or quick fingertip jabs. To one ignorant of the technique, the blows struck appear to be mere ‘gentle’ strikes to random parts of the body. In truth, those of the Hyūga clan are capable of inflicting severe damage to underlying organ systems (primarily the chakra network) using this style in tandem with their visual prowess. Having witnessed the fighting style many times through his life, Kakashi has managed to grasp the fundamentals of the style’s motions and footwork. As he lacks the Hyūga clan’s famed dojustu, he is incapable of inflicting the crippling blows the style is known for; in fact, taking on this stance effectively neuters his offensive ability due to lack of practice. Instead, he uses the sweeping circular movements and broad stance to bolster his defenses, allowing him to protect vital areas and stall more offense-heavy foes while countermeasures are determined.
