Ultimate Counter Measure
Many underestimate the value of a pointed weapon. While they don`t attain the highest levels of devastation that some other weapons do; they certainly can be effective when redirecting an opponents attack. With minimal force they can quickly turn a bad situation into a positive one!

Information
Prerequisites: A-rank, a weapon with the Piercing Damage Type

Rank 1: The user may attempt to parry a single E-B Ranked Taijutsu with a +1 Melee Check in the user's favor. Upon a successful check, the user negates the technique and causes the target to take damage equal to 30% of what the technique would have dealt.
Master Rank: The user may attempt to parry a single E-B Ranked Taijutsu with a +2 Melee Check in the user's favor. Upon a successful check, the user negates the technique and causes the target to take damage equal to 40% of what the technique would have dealt.

Special Action: By paying +20% CP, the technique parried can be redirected to a different target of the user's choice. This cost is only applied if the technique is parried successfully.

Master Rank Cost: 1,900 CP

Piercing Pinholder
This technique can be performed a number of ways. But it requires the user to bind the target with some part of their body, usually an arm with a dagger digging in to get a firm grip, before they can decide what to do from that point.

Information

Rank 1: Attempts to bind a single target at -1 Accuracy. Upon the target being successfully bound, each round there is a 36% chance for the target to take 4% of their Max HP.
Master Rank: Attempts to bind a single target at the Normal Accuracy. Upon the target being successfully bound, each round there is a 44% chance for the target to take 5% of their Max HP.

Rank 1 Cost: 1,760 CP, 880 CP/Rnd.
Master Rank Cost: 2,025 CP, 1,010 CP/Rnd.

Notes:
- This may last up to thirty seconds.
- Bound victim has a 15% chance to escape per 2.5 AP used.
- When bound, the victim cannot perform handseals or move. (Only handseal-less Ninjutsu/Genjutsu or actions not involving movement may be performed by the victim.).
- If the user takes more than 10% of their Max HP in damage during a round, this bind is dispelled.
- This bind is broken if the victim takes damage, or the user attacks the victim. (They have a -3 Dodge penalty to the attack aimed at them though.)

Hyper Thrust
Hyping themselves up with a combination of chakra and adrenaline the user wildly, and accurately, attacks either a single target or multiple. Designed to be a feint within a feint. While it seems they are simply thrashing through the crowd, they are actually carefully gauging their opponents strength while landing valuable hits to soften them up.

Master Rank: The user strikes 11 times, dealing 745 Damage each at -2 Accuracy at a single target.

Special Action: By paying an additional +20% CP, the user may divide the strikes among any number of targets. A single target may only bit hit by six strikes. If a clone is successfully hit, this technique has a 36%/44% chance of inflicting the Immobilized status.

Rank 1 Cost: 1,815 CP

Notes:
- Only 6 strikes can successfully hit a target.

From above a rain of piercing attacks seem to hit a whole group of shinobi. With speed and precision the user seems to be everywhere and no where at once. When all is said and done, the enemies are left in a pretty shaky condition.
