Shin Hakke Iyoku - True Eight Trigrams Heavenly will
Rank: C
Range: 15 feet
Type: Chakra Control
Elemental Affinity: -
Clan: Hyuuga
Description: This is a basic application of a trained Hyuuga’s ability to release Chakra from any and all tenketsus in their body. With this technique a Hyuuga can release Chakra from anywhere in their body out over a 15 foot range from themselves. This can be done in a manner as simple as “Chakra needles”, fired singularly or in multiples, even in rapid fire succession, with enough force or energy to cause the same level or damage as launched Senbon, though these can also affect an opponent’s chakra flow in the area hit. Or, a more forceful manifestation of this jutsu would involve a moment of concentration and focusing of Chakra towards the desired Tenketsu before releasing it in the desired direction an a mass similar to the Hakke Kusho, with near identical property and effect. This more powerful version usually requires a second or so to focus the needed chakra.

Clan: Hyuuga [Sai Exclusive]
Description: By releasing chakra at the exact point of physical impact, the user is able to nullify physical damage to the area. This technique utilizes the Hyuuga's ability to release chakra form any part of their body. However, even more then that, it requires complete precision to the target area as a means of conserving chakra, for releasing chakra through the body in order to defend a localized area would be far too high of a chakra coast for the user to efficiently perform this technique. This technique not only requires the release of chakra, but it also requires the user to understand how much chakra is being used by the opponent in the attack they are countering, since an equal or greater amount of chakra must be released by the user in order to negate the physical damage of a attack by precise chakra repulsion. This technique can be used to not only counter physical attacks, but also negate the Hyuuga's own style of Gentle fist. Sai can use this technique at a C Rank Level, but as his rank would progress he would enhance the jutsu’s strength. Sai can downgrade the power of the technique to counter weaker jutsu with less exhaustion. Repeated use of this technique will drain the chakra from his body at a faster rate then simply offensive moves. At his current level, Sai can so precisely understand the amount of chakra within the incoming attack in order to not waste much, if any, chakra when using this technique to protect himself.
Jyuuho Yuuiodoriko [Gentle Step: Blessed Dancer]
Rank: D
Range: Close Range (0-5m)
Jutsu Type: Taijutsu
Elemental Affinity: -
Clan: Hyuuga
Description: This is a rather simple technique that works through the user of Jyuuho [Gentle Step] movements. This is a rather graceful move that takes some principles from the Hyuuga style of rotation, but with less extreme levels of chakra. To perform this technique, the user will use their speed and grace to position themselves close to the target before quickly beginning to release a low level of chakra all around them in order to create the same spin as rotation. However, the chakra will not be enough to lift them off the ground, and the user will generally try and keep a foundation leg planted on the ground while making their other leg horizontal with the rest of their body. A skilled Taijutsu user will be able to make their body seemingly appear as a “T” having a perfect 180-degree angle from their torso to their outstretched leg. Since the leg is longer then the body, this technique is aimed in the form of a kick, though one far more powerful then any typical roundhouse, as the user will practically be spinning like a top, their base leg acting as a balancing point as they powerfully spin in order to offensively strike the opponent with their kicking leg. The great downside here is that the user must be careful how they employ this technique, as once they are spinning, it is hard to stop on a dime. Thusly, they may risk great injury to their leg and foot if they collide with something that won’t give against the force. However, in the cases were this technique directly impacts the opponent, usually around the midsection; it is more then enough to knock the wind out of the opponent and send them flying back to the ground. Skilled users can also add more chakra to this technique in order to create a visible intense manifestation of chakra either on their heel or instep that increases the power of this move, and potentially shuts down Tenketsu at the area of impact. Sai has mastered this technique to such a point where he can also perform this style of spinning kick crouched in order to sweep out the legs, tilted in order to target the head, or even mid-air in order to attack through a jump or fall.
Jyuuho Jiten Hoi-Ru - Gentle Step Spinning Wheel
Rank: D
Range: 15 feet
Jutsu Type: Taijutsu
Elemental Affinity: N/A
Clan: Hyuuga - Jyuuken
Description: A Jyuuken technique whose purpose is to enhance the chances of an attack hitting rather than being an attack itself. With this Jutsu, a Hyuuga will when relatively close in (within 15 feet) rapidly and skillfully spin towards their target releasing a small amount of Chakra similarly to how is done with the Kaiten (though on a far smaller level) so as to avoid, redirect and brush away blocks or counter attacks from her target as she closes in. Enemy kicks and punches as swept out of her way, as are projectiles such as Kunai or Shuriken, as well as blades, blunt weapons etc. Blocking stances find themselves broken up due to the sudden, usually unforeseen impact with his near imperceptible sweeping Chakra. Even C ranked Ninjutsu can be in large part brushed away with this if those jutsus involve direct attack towards him. The target will usually get caught just enough in this spinning Chakra to get pull off balance or out of their stance just enough to leave them vulnerable and unable to respond.
The Chakra used in this is relatively minor compared to Kaiten, and under proper conditions will be seen as little more that a distortion in the air, by normal eyes, unable to perceive Chakra, thus normally proving rather surprising when their attempts to block or counter are sudden pushed away by an unseen, or barely perceptible force.
Basically, this jutsu clears away obstacles and creates an opening for an attack, making blocks and counter attacks near useless.
Jyuuho [Gentle Step]
Rank: D
Range: Supplementary
Jutsu Type: Taijutsu
Elemental Affinity: -
Clan: Hyuuga
Description: It is widely known that the Hyuuga are renowned for their Jyuuken [Gentle Fist] fighting style. The form is gentle and light, able to deliver devastating blows with nothing but a seemingly peaceful touch. However, the form is about more then fists, for the Hyuuga are experts as releasing chakra from any point upon their body. They are graceful, agile, and flexible. These are the principals of the Jyuuho [Gentle Step]. This style of movement allows the clan members to move swiftly with great speed, as well as move evasively with their agility and flexibility. This is a stunningly different style of movement then what is normally seen in combat, for it adds a high degree of grace to the battlefield. This is a basic skill most Hyuuga know, but one that can be expanded upon in various ways. The technique itself does not necessarily require chakra, as it is done mostly through grace. However, Chakra can be applied to enhance speed and agility of the user’s movements. Sai has mastered this style of movement to such a degree that he can not only move extremely swiftly and gracefully on the battlefield, but he can also move practically silently.
