Taijutsu (Strike) [Punch or Kick]
Rank: 3 (C-Class);
Range: Melee Attack;
Target: One creature;
Duration: Instantaneous;
Saving Throws: Str partial;
Chakra Cost: 4.

The user makes a single unarmed melee attack against the target. If it hits, it deals normal damage and the target must make a Str save to avoid being knocked airborne a number of feet equal to three times the damage taken.

The target will be falling until the end of the user's next turn unless further action is taken, at which point it suffers normal falling damage. While falling, the target can take no actions involving movements, even hand seals, and will be denied its dexterity bonus to Defense. The user may, mimic the course of the target and leap directly behind it. Doing so may provoke an attack of opportunity.

The user still retains his Dexterity bonus to Defense while airborne and has the ability to perform actions normally. This technique can be executed as part of a Charge.
