The Gentle Fist style of combat is the taijutsu that damages the most. It is based on palm strikes and generally aims to damage the body's chakra circulatory system, thus creating difficulty by inhibiting an opponent's use of chakra. To do this, the user will forcefully insert a small amount of their own chakra into an opponent's chakra circulatory system. This circulatory system unites 361 little chakra points and all the body's vital points. Gentle fist style uses the chakra to strike this system causing the targeted area to rupture or divert flow. Therefore there is a damage to the opponent's internal organs, to which the chakra circulatory system is closely tied. Even the slightest tap from this style can cause major damage, hence the name "gentle fist". Because the chakra circulatory system is invisible, the Byakugan (unique ability of the Hyuga clan) is required for this style to be used effectively. If the user aims directly for the Chakra Circulatory System, the attack is inevitably fatal.
