Home Naruto Jutsus Neji Hyuga Hakke Rokujuyon Sho (Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms)

Name: Hakke Rokujūyon Shō, 八卦六十四掌, literally "Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms" (a.k.a. "Divination Field: or Divine Sixty-Four Strikes" and "64 Hands of Hakke")
Type: Kekkei genkai, No rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)
Users: Hyūga Neji
A very advanced Gentle Fist Style technique, the user must be able to see the Chakra holes (tenketsu, 点穴, "pressure points")) of the opponent and execute it with incredible dexterity and precision in order for it to be effective. In a series of two heavy strikes, followed by two more, followed by four, followed by eight, followed by sixteen, followed by a dazzling thirty-two consecutive pinpoint-precision strikes, this jutsu closes 64 of the 361 tenketsu of the opponent completely. The last of the sixty-four strikes appears to be a blow with the full, open hand, rather than the fingertips of the index and middle fingers. The end result is a victim with disrupted chakra flow, making it very problematic to stay standing up and impossible to execute jutsu, unless an alternate chakra source is available, which is exceedingly rare and has only been demonstrated thus far in people containing a Bijū (Tail Beast). This jutsu is passed down in the Hyūga main house, but it is theoretically possible to figure it out on one's own if one is talented and insightful enough to do so (Hyūga Neji being the only known example). In the anime, Neji has developed an enhancement, Hakke Hyaku Nijūha Shō ("Eight Trigrams One Hundred Twenty-Eight Palms"), which essentially means a doubled attack speed and doubled capability, though this is not considered canon.
