The Five Animals of the Oshino Clan

Taijutso

History Of The Jutsu: The Five Animals were created by Monk of the Oshino clan over the course of 10 years. That's 1 year spent on tiger style, 1 year on leopard style 1 year on crane style and 6 years spent on mastering snake and dragon styles. This is because those are the two that take the most discipline and mastery of the mind to be able to preform. Then once The creator had finished he had tried to pass it on to his children but they could never master patience and self control so one day the old man had heard of a gifted young ninja who had no parents so he decided to adopt him so he could pass on the style. The young ninja quickly learned the style and in 5 years he had mastered it. However the children of the old man felt betrayed and killed the adopted son. Now infuriated the old man no longer recognized his children as his own anymore and left his home to become a monk and live the life of a wanderer. The children told the people of the town that he had died and in addition he was the person who had killed the young ninja. From there on in his he gave up his name and looked for someone to pass his skill down to and one day he found someone. It was the young son of the leader of the Oshino clan at the time. The monk then became his mentor and teacher. When the monk's pupil had grown up and become the leader of the clan the monk was made an honorary member of the Oshino. From there the Five Animals have been a sacred Justu only known to the Oshino.

The Five Animal style utilizes 5 different techniques of taijutsu. The first one is Tiger style which uses strength and power. The second one is Craine Style which uses Balance and self control. The third style is Snake style which uses patience and rhythmic endurance. Fourth we have leopard style which uses Speed and agility and finally we have Dragon style which uses conviction and will power. While using tiger style you will see alot of open palm punches and a wide stance with the legs. With Crane style you will see alot of high flying kicks and sweeps with legs. With Snake style you will see the user making fast series of repetitive powerful jabs. With Leopard style the user utilizes both kicks and punches but their movements are much quicker and also the user will tend to do a lot of flips. Finally you have dragon style which is heavily defensive and is a style where the user never throws any attacks themselves but instead uses the opponents momentum against themselves. The stance for the jutsu is wide and the user will have one arm straight and the other one bent in towards themselves. Again this jutsu utilizes a lot of grapples and blocks.

This jutsu is used for close combat and is highly effective. The flaws in the jutsu are not in the whole but instead in the individual style. One example of this would be where tiger style uses strength and power, therefore it uses alot of lunges. This could potentially give the opponent an advantage.
