	Ten maintains youthful vigor and reduces one's aging, since the energy powering the body no longer leaks away; one can then keep the body from breaking down and deter the aging process. Ten is also the most basic defense against emotional Nen attacks, and it also offers limited protection against physical attacks, but hardly any when said attacks are enhanced with aura. Through frequent meditation and practice, one can improve the quality of their Ten and eventually even maintain it in their sleep.<br>		Ten maintains youthful vigor and reduces one's aging, since the energy powering the body no longer leaks away; one can then keep the body from breaking down and deter the aging process.

	*'''Ko''': Ko (硬コウ, Kō; "Temper") is a combination of Ten, Zetsu, Ren, Hatsu, and Gyo in which all of the user's aura is concentrated into one particular body part.[16] Gyo focuses aura on a part of the body, while Ten prevents it from dispersing. Zetsu is used to completely stop the flow of aura in all other parts of the body, increasing the output in the desired area. With Ren, the amount of aura is increased even further.[86] This makes that one body part extremely powerful, both in terms of offensive might and defensive durability; Ko is already very powerful by itself, but even more so when combined with the user's speed and strength, according to Bisky, it may even be dozens of times more powerful. The drawback is that it leaves the rest of the user's body completely unprotected. If one Nen user uses Ko offensively and another uses it defensively, then unless there is a major disparity in their strength, the defensive Ko would be able to protect against the offensive Ko easily enough; however, if the defender is hit anywhere that is not protected by Ko, then they are sure to be destroyed. Due to the risk it carries, Ko is generally regarded as a purely offensive technique. An incomplete version of this technique can be utilized without Ren, primarily to master the other steps before increasing the amount of aura to concentrate and contain.[86] Some Nen users, Enhancers in particular, employ Ko as a Nen ability by adding conditions to it.		*'''Ko''': Ko (硬コウ, Kō; "Temper") is a combination of Ten, Zetsu, Ren, Hatsu, and Gyo in which all of the user's aura is concentrated into one particular body part.[16] Gyo focuses aura on a part of the body, while Ten prevents it from dispersing.

	*'''Ken''': Ken (堅ケン; "Fortify") is the advanced form of the basic Ten and Ren techniques. It is a primarily defensive technique where a Nen user maintains a state of Ren for a prolonged amount of time.[16] The amount of aura surrounding the user's body during Ken is about 10 times higher than during Ten. Ken allows a Nen user to guard against attacks from any direction, but the large amount of aura produced makes it tiring to maintain. It is considered the best option to defend against Ko, despite not being as powerful as the latter on any given part of the body, as it protects all of it evenly.[16] When not immediately at risk of being struck with Ko, Ken is utilized when one wants to be cautious.[96] Some Nen users choose to expand its radius so as to sense incoming attacks they are unable to see,[97] as a miniature En of sorts. Sometimes Ken is colloquially called Ren owing to the similarities between the two techniques.		*'''Ken''': Ken (堅ケン; "Fortify") is the advanced form of the basic Ten and Ren techniques.

Through frequent meditation and practice, one can improve the quality of their Ten and eventually even maintain it in their sleep.<br>
	'''Zetsu''': While Ten allows a user to keep aura from leaking away from their body, Zetsu (絶ゼツ; "Suppress"/"Null") stops the flow of aura from their body altogether. By closing all of their aura nodes, the user is able to halt all outflow of their aura like water from a valve, making their presence much harder or even impossible to sense.~~[3]~~ Shutting off the nodes in their eyes prevents the user from being able to see aura,~~[75]~~ but, since they are no longer surrounded by their own aura, they become more sensitive to the aura of others.~~[17]~~ The enhancement in perception is such that Zetsu can counter In, although it is not advised to employ it in this way.~~[29]~~ This technique is thus doubly useful when tracking another person, as it will make it easier to follow them and prevent other Nen users from noticing their pursuer. However, there are other ways to perceive a person hiding with Zetsu: aside from the effectiveness of the five senses, particularly perceptive individuals are capable of detecting the gaze of another person, although they might not manage to discern the position and number of onlookers.~~[76]~~ <br>		*'''Shu''': Shu (周シュウ, Shū; "Enfold") is an advanced application of Ten. Shu allows a Nen user to enshroud an object with their aura and to use that object as an extension of their own body. For example, one could use Shu to extend their Ten around a weapon, which would strengthen and protect it. Shu can also be combined with other techniques, such as Ko.
	Furthermore, if Zetsu is utilized within a certain range from a Nen user, that Nen user might notice their presence disappearing, especially if the Zetsu user's aura is powerful.~~[77]~~ Despite the technique not affecting vision directly, activating Zetsu in front of someone else will give them the impression that the user has turned transparent.~~[76]~~ Zetsu can also be used to relieve fatigue, since it forces the body's external layer of aura to be fully contained within.~~[3]~~ For the same reason, it can be dangerous due to it leaving the body defenseless against any aura attack.

	'''Ren''': Ren (練レン; "Refine"/"Enhance") focuses on outputting a larger amount of aura than Ten, projecting it outwards explosively.~~[3]~~ This amplifies the user's physical strength and durability and provides a large pool of aura for any advanced techniques or individual skills they decide to use, albeit at the cost of expending said aura. If Ten is considered purely defensive, Ren can be regarded as its offensive counterpart, although it also grants the user vastly enhanced defensive abilities.<br>		Furthermore, if Zetsu is utilized within a certain range from a Nen user, that Nen user might notice their presence disappearing, especially if the Zetsu user's aura is powerful. Despite the technique not affecting vision directly, activating Zetsu in front of someone else will give them the impression that the user has turned transparent. Zetsu can also be used to relieve fatigue, since it forces the body's external layer of aura to be fully contained within. For the same reason, it can be dangerous due to it leaving the body defenseless against any aura attack. Even a weak attack enhanced with Nen can do massive damage. Since even the thin protection offered by Ten is gone, a Zetsu user is also particularly susceptible to hostile emotional attacks, resulting in their mind becoming as vulnerable as their body.<br>
	By tinging one's Ren with hostility, a Nen user can exert what is colloquially referred to as "bloodlust". Prolonged exposure to malicious Ren can induce uncontrollable dread, paralysis, and if experienced without the protection of Ten, even death. On the other hand, a neutral Ren can rarely be felt by non-users.~~[3]~~ Since Ren is a show of power, it can also intimidate other Nen users, as it offers an approximate measure of the user's raw strength;~~[79]~~ in fact, when someone asks "show me your Ren", they generally mean that they want to see the fruits of one's training, such as a Nen ability, rather than their Ren itself.~~[80]~~ In most cases, Ren reflects the user's hostility without their control, and it can even leave faint traces in the environment after the Nen user has left the scene.<br>		*'''In''': In (隱イン; "Conceal") is an advanced form of Zetsu used to render one's aura imperceptible, even to other Nen users, effectively concealing it. Unlike Zetsu, however, In does not stop the user's aura flow; instead, it hides it,[29] making it impossible to perceive with any of the five senses or extrasensory perception. Hence, this technique is perfect for launching sneak attacks or laying traps, as it can conceal not only the user's presence,[88] but also Nen constructs generated with Transmutation or Conjuration. In can be countered by using Gyo in the eyes or through Zetsu. When In conceals part (or even all) of the user's aura output, experienced Nen users can divine that their opponent is using it if little or no aura can be felt from them in circumstances which would normally require it, such as during combat.
			'''Ren''': Ren (練レン; "Refine"/"Enhance") focuses on outputting a larger amount of aura than Ten, projecting it outwards explosively.

In most cases, Ren reflects the user's hostility without their control, and it can even leave faint traces in the environment after the Nen user has left the scene.<br>
	One can train their Ren to extend its duration and increase the amount of aura at their disposal. It is said to take one month to prolong one's Ren outside of combat by 10 minutes.[82] With the right timing, Ten can be used to contain the aura produced by Ren.<br>		One can train their Ren to extend its duration and increase the amount of aura at their disposal.

			*'''Gyo''': Gyo (凝ギョウ, Gyō; "Focus") is an advanced application of Ren by which a Nen user concentrates a larger than normal portion of their aura into one specific body part. It increases the strength of that one body part, but leaves the rest of the body more vulnerable. Gyo is most often used in the eyes, allowing a Nen user to see aura and Nen constructs concealed with In, as well as traces of aura so faint that they might go unnoticed otherwise. An alternative version of this technique gathers only the aura naturally leaking from the body instead of the greater amount produced by Ren. This application of Gyo can still increase the amount of aura in one select body part and thus its power, but the output is much lower than what is obtained through the regular technique. It is unlikely this lower-consumption Gyo could counter In, since Wing had his students perform Ren to do so. However, it has proven to suffice to see thin layers of aura as well as to perform Water Divination correctly.
			**''Ken'': Ryu (流リュウ, Ryū; "Flow") is the term for use of Gyo while in a state of Ken to perform real-time offensive and defensive value adjustments. If Ko dedicates 100% of one's aura to offense or, much more rarely, to defense, and Ken splits it evenly between the two, Ryu is redistributing one's aura according to any other percentage (e.g., by focusing 70% of one's aura in one fist and 30% everywhere else as one is about to strike, or 80% in one's leg and 20% everywhere else to block an incoming kick). It is utilized to damage a Ken user without leaving oneself as unprotected as during Ko, although the power of the technique is lower. Ryu is difficult to master, as it requires the user to not only control one's aura flow with great precision, but also be able to estimate the amount of aura utilized by the opponent at a glance.[95] Even if the technique is performed correctly, the movements of the aura flow risk giving away the user's next move if they are too slow.
			*'''Ko''': Ko (硬コウ, Kō; "Temper") is a combination of Ten, Zetsu, Ren, Hatsu, and Gyo in which all of the user's aura is concentrated into one particular body part.[16] Gyo focuses aura on a part of the body, while Ten prevents it from dispersing. Zetsu is used to completely stop the flow of aura in all other parts of the body, increasing the output in the desired area. With Ren, the amount of aura is increased even further.[86] This makes that one body part extremely powerful, both in terms of offensive might and defensive durability; Ko is already very powerful by itself, but even more so when combined with the user's speed and strength, according to Bisky, it may even be dozens of times more powerful. The drawback is that it leaves the rest of the user's body completely unprotected. If one Nen user uses Ko offensively and another uses it defensively, then unless there is a major disparity in their strength, the defensive Ko would be able to protect against the offensive Ko easily enough; however, if the defender is hit anywhere that is not protected by Ko, then they are sure to be destroyed. Due to the risk it carries, Ko is generally regarded as a purely offensive technique. An incomplete version of this technique can be utilized without Ren, primarily to master the other steps before increasing the amount of aura to concentrate and contain.[86] Some Nen users, Enhancers in particular, employ Ko as a Nen ability by adding conditions to it.
			*'''Ken''': Ken (堅ケン; "Fortify") is the advanced form of the basic Ten and Ren techniques.

Once maintained, it creates a thin shroud around the user that feels similar to standing in a lukewarm, viscous fluid. Once it has been learned, it will never be forgotten, much like swimming or riding a bike.[29] Despite being the most elementary technique of all, Ten is also one of the most important, since, together with Ren, it plays an instrumental role in determining the strength and smoothness of a Nen user's aura flow.[73][74] <br>
			Ten maintains youthful vigor and reduces one's aging, since the energy powering the body no longer leaks away; one can then keep the body from breaking down and deter the aging process. Ten is also the most basic defense against emotional Nen attacks,[3] and it also offers limited protection against physical attacks,[2] but hardly any when said attacks are enhanced with aura.[17] Through frequent meditation and practice, one can improve the quality of their Ten and eventually even maintain it in their sleep.<br>
			'''Zetsu''': While Ten allows a user to keep aura from leaking away from their body, Zetsu (絶ゼツ; "Suppress"/"Null") stops the flow of aura from their body altogether. By closing all of their aura nodes, the user is able to halt all outflow of their aura like water from a valve, making their presence much harder or even impossible to sense.[3] Shutting off the nodes in their eyes prevents the user from being able to see aura,[75] but, since they are no longer surrounded by their own aura, they become more sensitive to the aura of others.[17] The enhancement in perception is such that Zetsu can counter In, although it is not advised to employ it in this way.[29] This technique is thus doubly useful when tracking another person, as it will make it easier to follow them and prevent other Nen users from noticing their pursuer. However, there are other ways to perceive a person hiding with Zetsu: aside from the effectiveness of the five senses, particularly perceptive individuals are capable of detecting the gaze of another person, although they might not manage to discern the position and number of onlookers.[76] <br>
			Furthermore, if Zetsu is utilized within a certain range from a Nen user, that Nen user might notice their presence disappearing, especially if the Zetsu user's aura is powerful.[77] Despite the technique not affecting vision directly, activating Zetsu in front of someone else will give them the impression that the user has turned transparent.[76] Zetsu can also be used to relieve fatigue, since it forces the body's external layer of aura to be fully contained within.[3] For the same reason, it can be dangerous due to it leaving the body defenseless against any aura attack. Even a weak attack enhanced with Nen can do massive damage.[17] Since even the thin protection offered by Ten is gone, a Zetsu user is also particularly susceptible to hostile emotional attacks,[4] resulting in their mind becoming as vulnerable as their body.<br>
			'''Ren''': Ren (練レン; "Refine"/"Enhance") focuses on outputting a larger amount of aura than Ten, projecting it outwards explosively.[3] This amplifies the user's physical strength and durability and provides a large pool of aura for any advanced techniques or individual skills they decide to use, albeit at the cost of expending said aura. If Ten is considered purely defensive, Ren can be regarded as its offensive counterpart, although it also grants the user vastly enhanced defensive abilities.<br>
			By tinging one's Ren with hostility, a Nen user can exert what is colloquially referred to as "bloodlust". Prolonged exposure to malicious Ren can induce uncontrollable dread, paralysis, and if experienced without the protection of Ten, even death. On the other hand, a neutral Ren can rarely be felt by non-users.[3] Since Ren is a show of power, it can also intimidate other Nen users, as it offers an approximate measure of the user's raw strength;[79] in fact, when someone asks "show me your Ren", they generally mean that they want to see the fruits of one's training, such as a Nen ability, rather than their Ren itself.[80] In most cases, Ren reflects the user's hostility without their control, and it can even leave faint traces in the environment after the Nen user has left the scene.<br>
			One can train their Ren to extend its duration and increase the amount of aura at their disposal. It is said to take one month to prolong one's Ren outside of combat by 10 minutes.[82] With the right timing, Ten can be used to contain the aura produced by Ren.<br>
