Talk:Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms

use chakra?
when neji does 64 palm, does he use chakra to jab the opponent's tenketsu or just jabs it without chakra?

I don't think he uses chakra, I think he just needs lots of speed and his Byakugan too see the points. yomi-
 * He still needs chakra to hurt the points. According to Kidomaru, he creates a needle of chakra between his fingertips that affects the point he hits. Jacce | Talk 14:51, October 12, 2009 (UTC)

then i agree with you. yomi-

Strikes
Could someone shed some light on how many times this jutsu hits an opponent? The number it keeps getting switched to is logical, but the manga seems misleading if that's the case. In chapter 101, when Neji says "four palms", there are literally four palms in the panel. The other panels are inconclusive, and the jutsu's second use in chapter 194 is considerably less helpful.

 * If it helps, when Neji uses this technique against Kidomaru in the anime; when Neji shouts "four palms", you can hear Kidomaru getting hit four times. Jacce | Talk 05:31, October 12, 2009 (UTC)
 * The first databook states that Neji hit a total of sixty-four tenketsu. --ShounenSuki (talk 09:17, October 12, 2009 (UTC)

It is hard to say how many strikes and in what pattern the attack is in for the notion of it consisting of 64 strikes and the notion of "4 Palms" being four seperate strikes from the first set of strikes and so on are unreconciable for that pattern would result in 126 strikes instead of 64.

in the game Naruto Clash of Ninja Revolution when Neji uses the 8 trigrams 64 palms it is a 64 hit combo. so I think he strikes 64 times yomi-
 * The four hits you see in that one panel in chapter 101 might include the two hits Neji did when saying "Two Palms". --ShounenSuki (talk 16:46, October 12, 2009 (UTC)
 * Or, it could simply be a way of showing the four strikes, kinda like how you'll see in some comics a character punching another rapidly, and multiple fists appearing in the pane. I believe it's just a representation of the four strikes, personally. - Anonymous
