Front Lotus


 * Name:
 * Type: B-rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)
 * Users: Might Guy, Rock Lee, Kakashi Hatake

Front Lotus requires the opening of the first chakra gate, 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." 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.
