Front Lotus requires the opening of the first of the Eight Chakra Gates, giving the user five times their normal strength. Having prepared for the jutsu by unwrapping the bandages on his arms, the user kicks his opponent into the air, and then performs Shadow of the Dancing Leaf. Once he is behind his opponent, he then wraps the arm bandages around them, and grabs them in a bear hug, then piledrives them into the ground while spinning rapidly. The resulting impact will likely kill his opponent, though this has yet to happen due to extenuating circumstances. Because it uses one of the chakra gates, the user is left extremely fatigued, making this jutsu a "double-edged sword". In Lee's fight with Sasuke Uchiha, Lee attempts to use it, but is stopped by Guy. Later however, durring the Chunin exams, when the three sound ninja attack Sakura Haruno, Lee uses the Front Lotus but fails to defeat his opponent. Lee was forbbiden to use the Front Lotus, except for one condition: To protect someone important to him. Guy's version involves him uppercutting the opponent, grabbing them (breaking their bones), and slamming them head first into the ground. In the third episode of Naruto: Shippūden, Kakashi displayed his own version of this ability; while it worked the same way as Lee's version, Kakashi managed to wrap up to three opponents.
