Hohō masters are often considered by those who are aware of them to be amongst the fastest beings in the known realms. They are each capable of achieving speeds that are beyond Human comprehension, and thus can be extremely dangerous on the battlefield due to their general unpredictability and overwhelming nature. Considering the consequences typically associated to these higher speeds, a number of these masters prefer to stop refining their abilities at a certain point. To do so is often seen as logical by them, as there is no reason for one to achieve such velocities if all these velocities can bring is either internal damage or plain exhaustion. But Kimiko is not amongst those particular masters. Instead, she believes that to go even further beyond is something that anyone should strive for, and that stopping one's self from going any further all because of a pointless reason such as exhaustion is disrespectful to the art of Hohō.
Thus, it was with this point of view that Kimiko has decided to create the following technique.
Note: The technique possesses a GIF meant to be used as a visual reference. Please be aware that it may not be entirely representative of the technique's execution itself.
[ T E C H N I Q U E ]
{Kyo Kyūsoku (巨急速, "Great Haste")}
Technique Name: Kyo Kyūsoku (巨急速, "Great Haste")
Technique Type: Hohō | Speed Buff
Technique Element: Sonic
Usable by: Shinigami, Rogue, Vizard & Beast-Clansmen
Class: 1
Technique Reiatsu Cost: 800
Technique Description and Effects
A modification of Kyo Bōchō which centers on the idea of changing one's own velocity rather than an upcoming attack's. The user starts vibrating the spiritual energy within their body at a greater speed than the ones typically associated to such techniques, so much so that it causes the body in question to begin to buzz at a progressively-louder pitch. Once this buzzing has reached a point which could be described as being almost deafening, its source is then liberated by the user within themselves. This discharge spans throughout the user's entire body and effectively injects the vibrated energy into each and every single aspect of the user's physical being. As a result of this injection, the user enters a state of "great haste" - which can be notably identified by the constant vibration of their body and the afterimages left behind its wake as a result of this vibration - for the next four posts.
For as long as this "great haste" remains active, each and every action that is executed by the user and their body is to be considered as being much faster than usual. This includes simple actions such as moving or attacking a specific target, but also more complex actions that are not necessarily under the user's control and are instead more passive in nature, such as the natural healing of wounds and the processing of sicknesses or diseases. In so doing, one could say that a user of this technique is to be described as being an individual who has effectively hastened their position in time.
As the technique is one that requires not a constant stream of reiatsu, but rather a single discharge of it, its effectiveness progressively decreases over the course of its four posts of activity. Below can be found the boosts of Speed associated with every one of these posts:
Those proficient in the use of this technique become capable of weaponizing the constant vibration of their body, allowing them to deal sonic damage to their opponents in melee combat. Mastery of this technique, meanwhile, allows the user to extend the duration of this technique by adding one more 3x Speed post after the initial post.
Drawbacks & Weaknesses
Due to the main function of this technique and the way it is portrayed during its use, some may believe this period of "great haste" the user imposes upon themselves to solely be advantageous. After all, if one gives it some thought, this technique is rather simple and appears to conform well to the concepts established by the foundations of the Hohō line. Like Shunpo and even Shunpo Karin, it applies a velocity boost to the user, with the only difference being that it is not a single part of the body, but rather the entire body. However, to think of the technique in such a way is to showcase a critical lack of understanding in what usually is defined as a technique of the Hohō line, as this technique does not simply modify the pace of a single action. Rather, it modifies the pace of multiple actions over the course of a period of time, which is a change that unsurprisingly leads to notable consequences.
While the user's body is subjected to the intense vibration of the injected spiritual energy, it begins to experience several spiritual discharges which burst around the body. Though these discharges are not painful to the user for as long as the "great haste" remains active, they create sparks that spread randomly around the body to leave various burn marks which will begin to hurt upon the end of the "great haste". Other consequences are also to be remembered by the user before using this technique, as found below:
Naturally, the process at which Kyo Kyūsoku is executed makes it a very expensive technique that requires a deal of reiatsu, which could be discouraging to some. It also makes it a very difficult technique to learn that is only accessible to those with a Martial Art - Hohō skill of 3.

Other consequences are also to be remembered by the user before using this technique, as found below:
- The accelerated healing of wounds is entirely dependent on the user's own healing factor. While those with an incredible healing factor may thus be capable of healing their wounds almost instantly with this technique and even ignore the burn marks that are left by the sparks created by it, others with a lesser healing factor will not be guaranteed such an outcome.
- Toxins and diseases can be naturally treated by the body much faster during the "great haste". However, this is only if the user is capable of resisting them. If they are incapable of doing so, they will suffer much more quickly and possibly even die quicker, should their affliction be fatal in nature.
- The initial buzzing created by the vibration of one's spiritual energy prior to their injection inside of their body may cause them harm should they be using a Senses stat above 400 during the technique's execution.
Naturally, the process at which Kyo Kyūsoku is executed makes it a very expensive technique that requires a deal of reiatsu, which could be discouraging to some. It also makes it a very difficult technique to learn that is only accessible to those with a Martial Art - Hohō skill of 3.
