Lion Combo

A taijutsu unique to Sasuke Uchiha and a variant of the Front Lotus. Sasuke develops it after using his Sharingan to copy the first part of the move. It is an ultra-fast combo attack that requires an advanced physical condition and a certain knack for it. The opponent is first kicked into the air and shadowed with the Shadow of the Dancing Leaf. Upon inflicting a blow, one takes advantage of said opponent's counterattack to spin around and rise again for further assaults. Since the fall is increased in velocity with each blow, the damage when one is eventually struck to the ground is inconceivable. All variations end with the opponent being thrown to the ground and kicked in the stomach. However, like with the Front Lotus, there is a drawback in which the user gets fatigued right after the technique is performed. Though, this drawback isn't as severe as with the Front Lotus. Also, it holds advantage against Front Lotus as it does require Eight Gates.

Trivia

 * In the Clash of Ninja series, Kakashi can perform this jutsu by copying it with his Sharingan.
 * Sasuke used this technique before the preliminary rounds of the Chūnin Exams, as shown in Karin's flashback. This could mean that he copied the moves and fit them together when Lee was about to use the Front Lotus on him.
 * In Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2, Sasuke performs a version of this technique where instead of ending with a kick, he finishes with a Chidori.
