Reverse Lotus

This technique is an advanced and more destructive version of the Front Lotus, which requires that at least three chakra gates be opened. Once enough gates are opened, the user kicks the target into the air and continues to strike them at inhuman speeds before hitting them with a final, powerful open-handed strike and kick at the same time, sending the target crashing into the ground which is usually fatal due to the speed and power behind the attack.

Because so many chakra gates are opened at once, this technique can only be used once, since the user will likely be unable to stand afterwards. This is proven when Lee is left barely able to stand after using it on Gaara, and the latter's powerful defences and long-distance attacks allowed him to win the match.
