Name: Genmyou --Surname expunged from all records.
Nickname/Alias: The Shade of Clarity.
Gender: Male.
Age: Unknown.
Age Appearance: Unknown.
Sexuality: Heterosexual.
Birthplace: --Expunged from all records.
Organization: Kumogakure and the Antare clan.
Clan/Kekkei Genkai: Unknown/Tukkumu shijun.
Zoukasari/Fuen Ametsuchi.
Rank: S Rank.
Position: Nidaime Raikage.
Chakra Nature: Lightning.
Onmyouton.
Additional Appearance Details: Standing at 6'8 and weighing slightly below average for his height, Genmyou almost constantly wears a gray unadorned mask with no mouth or nose holes. There only remain thin slits for his eyes and the village's symbol on the forehead. Genmyou's true is one of the village's mysteries, with not even his closest allies having ever seen him without his mask, hood, and cloak.
History:
--All information regarding Genmyou's origins going past his life as a young man have been expunged from all known records. As such, the following is all that remains recorded of Genmyou's origins--
Personality: Genmyou is versatile in all activities he takes part in, this traits stands out. His versatility is mixed just as much with the air of intrigue that seems to surround him as a person. He is secretive, intelligent, serious, but not without humor. To him matters of the village, of battle, and anything remotely regarding his past are things to be given attention and a calm mindset above all others. In this way he is protective in his own way, seeming to have a kind of endearment to Kumogakure. Generally he tends to be fairly good-natured, and though he can sometimes be caught up the affairs of his village, he is never truly stressed. It has often been commented, and admired, that despite Genmyou's air of mystery and his rather plentiful responsibilities he never seems overwhelmed or burdened. In this way he is considered charismatic and sometimes even tends to use this trait to his advantage. This charisma also carries over to one of his rather well known mannerisms, corrections and wisdom. Essentially, Genmyou gets a kick out of messing with his adversary's mind while in battle without the use of genjutsu.
This reveals another trait of his for while he is not devious, he is exceptionally crafty in both a social environment and on the battlefield. He is loyal to those he makes his allies, but not to the point of blindness. He is the kind of man who will do what he must even if he knows others may not like it. When brought down to the bare essentials he is a survivalist, a former nomad, and a scholar. Genmyou has an avid love for knowledge and in his free time he finds it extremely rewarding and enjoyable to read, exchange knowledge, or even get into a philosophical discussion or two. In another light, Genmyou enjoys debate and conversation, but he seems to shy away from arguments. When put into a situation where a verbal exchange of negative theme is involved he tends to act as a mediator or he will simply remove himself from the situation until the participants are willing to discuss the issue(s) reasonably. This shows that Genmyou is indeed a very calm individual with an incredibly high tolerance for so called 'bullshit' as it were.

History:
--All information regarding Genmyou's origins going past his life as a young man have been expunged from all known records. As such, the following is all that remains recorded of Genmyou's origins--
...he faded back into the larger scope of the world and was at first a kind of mercenary nin. He travelled and exchanged knowledge and living expenses for any task he was assigned. As he did this he was able to acquire a rather sufficient sum of intel on various jutsu, clans, and rumors of the time. He continued to expand his knowledge and skill set until he struck gold. He heard a rumor about a clan based in Kumogakure, this was the first time he had heard of the so called Antare Clan. With a background such as his, it was hard for him to pass up and so he began to travel to cross the continent and reach the Antare clan's base of operations. At the time he did not know many, if any, of the secrets regarding the clan, but he did know they were allegedly the only rivals in fuinjutsu to the uzumaki clan. It took him a year or two of travel, due to many stops, missions, and such on the way but he eventually reached the country of lightning. Seeming rather suspicious due to his garb, as even at that time he possessed what shinobi see him in today, he was eventually spotted by one of the Antare clan's outposts and watched closely there after. As his renown grew, Genmyou eventually became known as 'The Shade of Clarity'. This title was blatantly ironic due to the unknown nature of his appearance and the difficulty that it was to track him and figure out his exact actions in combat. Regardless to this he began to be a nuisance when his missions began to conflict with nin from Kumogakure causing the shinobi assigned to come back empty handed or the like. Assassination attempts were made, but they could never track him down, and when they did they were met with clever non-fatal traps. Finally the aged raikage of the time requested the assistance of the Antare clan, the accepted, having been watching as a neutral part for some time.
They were easily able to corner 'The Shade of Clarity' but they too found themselves in a difficult situation. Even mid battle he was able to figure out who they were and who had sent them. They soon found themselves outclassed in a very unique fashion, and with words and defensive tactics alone the 3 Antare clan members found themselves in such a disadvantage that they were grateful when The Shade offered them an arrangement. An envoy sent back to the raikage and another to the elders of the Antare clan, Genmyou successfully got his message across. Though the raikage seemed rather threatened and more than a little worried about allowing this 'shade' free reign he did so with the advice of the Antare in mind. The Antare clan elders on the other hand were not as relenting and so instead of simply allowing him into their ranks, an unknown variable as he was, they commissioned him for a series of missions while they attempted to retrieve intel on the shade's origins. They drew a blank, finding only sparse information of his travels and various mercenary exploits, nothing of any solid consequence...Shade of Clarity indeed.
After several months of the grueling missions Genmyou began to grow ever more impatient and with perfect timing, as it was intentional the Antare allowed him entrance. In the years following it became known that Genmyou had been officially adopted into the country of lightning's social ranks and was around jounin rank. Years passed, he studied, trained, combatted, completed missions for Kumogakure, and then when he felt he had learned as much as was immediately useful to him from the Antare, he departed. Traveling to -data expunged- Genmyou disappeared for almost a decade. Strangely every two weeks a mission would end up completed to the fullest and so it was thought that Genmyou had completed these, which he had. When he finally emerged from his recluse, Genmyou returned a changed man, a better man, and a stronger shinobi. He felt no need to test himself against the lesser nin of the jounin rank and he proceeded straight to the death bed of the to-be late raikage. Genmyou looked the man straight in the eyes, and the raikage commanded the two be left alone.
No complaints were made, a mask was removed, a promise made, an identity remained hidden to all but one. The Raikage died only a year later and upon his death, his will was revealed, Genmyou - The Shade of Clarity, was to be named the second Raikage. Some of the village elders were disgruntled, but they were silenced by the will of the people and the guidance of the Antare clan. All was well, Genmyou became the kage of Kumogakure and has been as such for 10 years now. His age is unknown, his true appearance hidden, his identity null, and his skill renowned throughout. He is a man to fear, to trust, to avoid, to approach, he is all of these things, but above all else he is a efficient leader and an elusive enigma.

Theme: Two Steps From Hell - Mystical Beginnings
Base Weapons & Items:
X explosive tags.
X smoke bombs.
X kunai
X shuriken
X wire
X chakra reactive tags (blank).
X chakra reactive scrolls (blank).
10 Barrier rods.
Foot Note: His scrolls and tags react specifically to his chakra and the chakra effectively acts like ink.
Specialized Weapons & Items:
Name of Item: Chakra Conductive Gauntlets.
Description: Though really not all that difficult to craft, Genmyou wears streamlined gauntlets on both hands which effectively ease the process of the fuin furidashi slightly. The gauntlets do this by reacting to his chakra when he channels it to his hands and forming a small field of condensed aura around his hands in order to conduct his jutsu. This can also assist with some of his raiton techniques and are very useful. Due to being gauntlets these can also be used to claw, since the fingers are rather sharp, as well as to block some blade attacks. He cannot use these to catch blades due to the fact that only the outsides of the gauntlets are metal while the insides -meaning palm and finger bottoms- are made of a softer material which also lines the metals on the top of the gauntlets.
====================
Name of Weapon: Seigennashi no ei(制限なしの英 'Blade of the Unrestricted').
Description: Often within its figurative sheath and hidden on his person, this blade is 4.5 feet long, weighing in at roughly 130 lbs to anyone attempting to wield it aside from Genmyou. Rather than the weapon being in a true sheath, it is sealed utilizing a modified generic seal, within the strap that would normally hold the weapon at his back. Regardless to this, Seigennashi no ei is a very unique weapon for it does not possess an affinity ability or some such foolishness. Instead, this weapon of unknown origin, is a blank slate for any kind of chakra that is channeled through it. This means that it can channel and carry any manner of jutsu within itself. This means that it seems to merely be an incredibly advanced chakra conductor. While this is true, the weapon is unique in that it can actually store techniques, which are channeled through it. However, it is limited to seven jutsu at any given time. Beyond this, the weapon, once attuned to its wielder, is rendered effectively weightless. Despite the efforts of many blade craftsman, chakra scholars, and fuinjutsu masters the cause of this effect remains out of reach and thus out of mind making it an enigmatic blade fit to its similarly mysterious wielder.
====================
Name of Item: Gen'ei no konryuu(幻影の袞龍 'Phantom's imperial robes').
Description: Worn in every waking moment of Genmyou's life, this clothing is his normal attire. Despite the use of the word normal this garb is nothing of the sort. It is fire retardant, heat repelling, waterproof, and is durable to ridiculous levels. Strangely, the cloth never seems to take damage, even if Genmyou does, this leads one to believe that damage is transfered through the cloth but never actually damages it. This is true and is the work of fuuinjutsu being weaved in patterns onto the inside and outside of the robes. Additionally, the Gen'ei no konryou are conductive allowing him to conduct his 'raiton' techniques or pure chakra through them. The last notable property of this garb is its properties of concealment. Namely the robe distorts his chakra to the senses of doujutsu and sensor nin. This effectively means that unless the sensor nin is incredibly adept and has prime focus, they will receive a headache and be smoothly redirected around his location. Possessors of doujutsu have a hard time looking upon him as well, but are otherwise unaffected. Sharinga and Rinnegan are unaffected, whereas the Byakugan is effectively useless against it.

Special Traits
Genmyou is no normal individual and as such his chakra is incredibly unique. Not only is he incredibly difficult to sense even with doujutsu, his chakra's unique state tends to give sensory nin a headache and as such they tend to have a lot of trouble pinpointing his position. Additionally where his normal chakra openings would be, there are actually 3. His body seems capable of releasing chakra from many different places in comparison to a normal individual. Genmyou also appears to have a rather high chakra level in addition to being able to use shape manipulation much quicker than most. It should be noted that Genmyou is immune to his own lightning affinity (he can channel it through his body without being harmed) and that lightning jutsu of C rank or below will not cause him harm. Last of all he appears to be especially durable and is very quick on his feet. It should be taken into mind that Genmyou's specialties are firstly in fuinjutsu, secondly in kenjutsu(with a proficiency in defensive taijutsu), and thirdly in ninjutsu.
Name of Kekkei Genkai: Tukkumu shijun(突っ組む至純 'To strive for Absolute purity').
Fuen Ametsuchi(敷衍 天地 'Amplification of Heaven and Earth')
Clan: Unknown.
Zoukasari.
Description: Appearing to modify any natural affinities that the inheritor possesses, but this is not it's sole capability. This kekkei genkai, known as Tukkumu shijun, appears to allow Genmyou advanced control over essentially all of his chakra's aspects. This has apparently altered his natural affinity as well as allowing him, due to extended research and training, to utilize 'pure' chakra. Due to his skill in fuuinjutsu he is capable of effectively programming this purified energy form with purpose utilizing seals and the like. His control over his chakra system is so great that he can willingly pure, fluctuate, speed up, or slow down the flow of chakra within his body to his will.
=========================================
Techniques:
Canon Jutsu
Gogyo Fuin(Five Elements Seal)
Gogyo Kaiin(Five Elements Unseal)
Fūinjutsu: Shishi Heikō(Sealing Technique: Lion Closing Roar)
Kuchiyose: Raiko Kenka(Summoning: Lightning Flash Blade Creation):
Fire Sealing Method: Though the fuuinjutsu is specified to fire he has modified this technique, allowing it to seal other elemental jutsu as long as they are below S rank. Each respective seal can only store one jutsu at a time.
Kage Bunshin no jutsu(Shadow clone technique): Genmyou is capable of distributing as much or as little of his chakra as he pleases to when utilizing this technique.
Chidori Nagashi(Chidori current): Rather than utilizing chidori he simply channels lightning chakra into his aura and focuses it into flowing currents of lightning that have the same effect.
Chakra Draining Seal: This technique is not useable and/or practical in combat.
Gofu Kekkai(Five barrier seal): He does know this technique, but it is not directly applicable in battle.
Custom Jutsu
Name of Technique: Agarisagari(上がり下がり 'Fluctuation').
Type of Jutsu: Fuinjutsu.
Rank: B
Range: Contact.
Nature Type: N/A.
Handseals: 3.
Description: By studying and modifying the Gogyo Fuin(Five Elements Seal), Genmyou has developed a technique that utilizes the concept of disrupting other seals and by extension chakra. Unlike the Gogyo Fuin, this technique disrupts chakra even if there are no other seals present on the victim. When the Agarisagaro is placed on an individual it will impede the movement of chakra by disrupting the chakra path ways and causing them to fluctuate randomly. This makes it twice as difficult to utilize ninjutsu or to generally focus and control chakra.
Weakness: If the seal is damaged it will be rendered useless. Additionally it can be removed by the Gogyo Kaiin. The seal can be disrupted by firing chakra into the seal from the outside or focusing it in the seal till it breaks. Breaking this seal by focusing chakra and overloading it is considerably difficult and will waste chakra due to the fact that the fluctuations make it hard to focus and direct chakra.
====================
Name of Technique: Fuin no kumokui(吹いんの雲杭 'Seal of the Spider Bite').
Type of Jutsu: Fuinjutsu.
Rank: A.
Range: Contact.
Nature Type: N/A.
Handseals: 0.
Description: By utilizing his chakra Genmyou is capable of placing a seal on a tag or an opponent directly that effectively acts like a crack in the victim's chakra system. This causes chakra to slowly leak from the victim's body.
Weakness: Damaging the seal by burning it or cutting it will cease the effects of the jutsu.
====================
Name of Technique: Junikari Kuchiyose(樹に借り口寄せ 'Pure Anchor Summoning').
Type of Jutsu: Space-time Fuininjutsu.
Rank: C-B.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: Pure chakra.
Handseals: 3.
Description: By studying the Kuchiyose no jutsu and imlementing the use of his pure chakra with it, he is effectively able to program his pure chakra and use 3 handseals in order to summon a specified object -and only an object- to a designated location. The location is designated by a localization of his pure chakra. This technique takes such a small amount of chakra that it is completely negligible.
Weakness: This technique can only summon to where the specified chakra is located. Additionally, if the chakra is used for a long range summoning the jutsu will become increasingly more taxing with the increase in distance. This jutsu is also unable to summon anything over the size of a person in mass and weight.
====================
Name of Technique: Fuin furidashi(吹いん振り出し 'Seal infusion').
Type of Jutsu: Fuinjutsu.
Rank: D-S.
Range: Physical or chakratic contact.
Nature Type: Pure chakra.
Handseals: 0.
Description: Essentially Genmyou has such a mastery of his purified chakra that as long as something is either within his aura (such as his blank tags or scrolls) he is capable of inscribing seals on them. If he is touching the object it takes less time than if it was in his aura, specifically direct contact is 2x as effective as indirect(aural).
Weakness: Without contact this technique is useless, additionally the more complex the fuinjutsu (higher ranked) the longer it takes for this to work.
====================
Name of Technique: Fuinjutsu: Chousei(フイン術: 調整 'Sealing Technique: Modification').
Type of Jutsu: Fuinjutsu.
Rank: D.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: N/A.
Handseals: 3.
Description: This technique is a small set of interlaid lines and circles that can be applied to any of his fuinjutsu. Effectively, this allows him to activate or deactivated a fuinjutsu's effect by preforming 3 hand seals. This is always utilized in regards to his fire sealing method techniques and has the effect of allowing him to release the jutsu from the scroll or otherwise object.
Weakness: It has no effect by itself and has normal seal weaknesses.
====================
Name of Technique: Fuin kakari(吹いんかかり 'Seal linking').
Type of Jutsu: Fuinjutsu.
Rank: D-C.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: N/A.
Handseals: 0.
Description: This is a very simple technique which allows the individual to link seals. This is typically used when regarding summoning seals and allows an object to be transfered from one seal to another through this technique.
Weakness: It has no effect by itself and has normal seal weaknesses.
====================
Name of Technique: Tsuuro shougeichiten(通路商芸地点 'Pathway blocking point').
Type of Jutsu: Fuinjutsu.
Rank: B.
Range: Contact.
Nature Type: N/A.
Handseals: 4.
Description: An interesting technique, Tsuuro shougeichiten effectively acts much like a strike from the gentle fist style in that once applied it blocks chakra. Unlike the Lion closing roar or similar techniques however, this seal instead blocks chakra in such a way that the path is effected much like the blood stream is by a blood clot. This effectively means that overtime Tsuuro shougeichiten causes a blockage in the chakra stream which can create a build up in pressure. This varies in how long, but the more chakra that is being used/the faster the flow of chakra, the quicker this will occur. If the seal is not removed this blockage can effectively rupture a chakra pathway and cause chakra to rampantly flow into areas of the body where it should not be, this is incredibly painful. Additionally, if the seal is removed -of course depending on how early after it is applied- the chakra blocked will suddenly rush to move and fill the space. If the seal was placed near a chakra exit, this can cause chakra to randomly eject from the victim's body and thus waste their chakra.
Weakness: The seal will break after a certain amount of chakra has built up as the pressure acts about the same as overwhelming the seal with chakra. If the seal is damaged or removed it's effects are nullified. This seal requires some of the user's chakra to be stored within the seal in addition to the effort needed to create the seal.
====================
Name of Technique: Ryuutsuuro Fuin(流通路吹いん 'Dragon-pathway seal').
Type of Jutsu: Fuinjutsu.
Rank: A.
Range: Contact.
Nature Type: N/A.
Handseals: 5.
Description: By executing the 5 hand seals, forming the seal on something or with his chakra and applying it the user effectively boosts the victim's abilities. The victim's chakra system speeds up and is improved in it's ability to release chakra thus allowing their body to be faster and stronger. This also means ninjutsu seem to unexpectedly come out stronger than normal, the effected part will usually not notice the difference due to adrenaline. After the three minute mark they'll begin to feel tired and within the next 2 minutes fatigue will set in.
Weakness: This technique can only be overloaded with chakra if the user can focus their chakra to the seal rather than letting it flow. Additionally the seal can be removed or damaged to cease it's effects, though any chakra used before hand will still have caused some portion of the desired effect. This jutsu takes around 1 minute to fully activate and thus seems more gradual. A-S ranked individuals can forcibly slow their chakra system and skilled B rank individuals may be able to do so as well.
====================
Name of Technique: Denkou Ooi(でんこう多い 'Lightning Mantle').
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu.
Rank: A.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: Lightning
Handseals: 8.
Description: Through studying lightning release armor and then utilizing his ability to conduct lightning through his body with no ill effects, Genmyou is capable of making a mantle of lightning around his body and within. This mantle allows him to move at high speed, though nowhere near as fast as lightning release armor, it takes a rather skill individual to track his movements without the aid of a doujutsu. This jutsu essentially amplifies his speed and strength, the strength aspect is much weaker than the speed. If an individual comes into contact with the mantle they will find themselves damaged, be it through burns or shocks.
Weakness: This jutsu, though not all that chakra taxing, makes it difficult to utilize other jutsu while it is active. Prepared jutsu do not count, additionally Denkou Ooi only lasts for a maximum of three minutes and has a cooldown time ranging from 30 seconds to 1 minute.
====================
Name of Technique: Inadzuka(稲塚 'Flash of Lightning').
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu.
Rank: E-A.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: Lightning.
Handseals: 3.
Description: Inadzuka is a raiton technique that by itself can either be used much like a chidori, or can be fired off in a bolt of lightning. This rank, depending on the charge time, will be stronger or weaker and can thus vary in it's damage.
Weakness: The charge times, cool down, and relative weakness of the technique in general.
====================
Name of Technique: Kawa no Shijun(革の至純 'Streams of absolute purity ').
Type of Jutsu: Kekkai Shape-manipulation ninjutsu.
Rank: C-B.
Range: 50 yard(250 foot) radius.
Nature Type: Pure chakra.
Handseals: 2.
Description: This technique allows Genmyou to exude his 'pure' chakra and then control it to form streams of energy that act much like water. These 'streams' of chakra are incredibly conductive of any kind of jutsu whether they are his or not, and he is capable of conducting or utilizing other jutsu through this.
Weakness: This technique can easily amplify ANYONE's jutsu that passes through it.
====================
Name of Technique: Gateway of the Ouroboros.
Type of Jutsu: Barrier ninjutsu.
Rank: B
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: Pure chakra.
Handseals: 6.
Description: By utilizing his barrier rods, Genmyou is capable of using this technique to set up a barrier of varying size and shape. Typically the barriers will be in the rough shape of a box/cube, but they can vary in shape. These barriers work by connecting barrier rods with a flat plane of chakra. This process means that if an individual is caught between two barrier rods while they are forming a barrier they could very will be cut in half or the like. These barriers are incredibly effective against chakrabased attacks. Lightning affinity jutsu below B rank will conduct into the 'pure' chakra and be channeled throughout the barrier. All other affinities can have their desired effect.
Weakness: Powerful taijutsu techniques or piercing attacks can easily cut, break, or pass through the barrier
====================
Name of Technique: Douji kaido(同時開度 'Synchronous divergence').
Type of Jutsu: FuiNinjutsu.
Rank: S.
Range: Direct or indirect contact.
Nature Type: Pure chakra.
Handseals: 16.
Description: Douji kaido, a technique created some years after Genmyou's study with the Antare clan, it is a technique to be feared by all those who posses an advanced affinity. The jutsu is simple, it is a seal, that after being conducted through his chakra using Fuin furidashi, is capable of essentially tearing merged affinities apart. This technique works through the seal quickly infecting the jutsu with Genmyou's 'pure' chakra, latching onto the intermingled affinities, and then causing a divergence which splits the jutsu in half, -altering it's trajectory- and destroys the synchronicity of the affinities by doing so.
Weakness: Despite the explanation of Fuin Furidashi, this technique takes 10 seconds to charge if done so directly and 20 seconds if activated via his aura.
====================
Name of Technique: Ijū no tsūshin(移住の通信 'Signals of Transmigration').
Type of Jutsu: Supplementary ninjutsu/Forbidden Technique(?).
Rank: C-S.
Range: 100 mile radius or within magnetic field.
Nature Type: Denjiton and/or Lightning.
Handseals: Variable.
Description: Potentially a forbidden technique when utilized at its strongest, Ijū no tsūshin is a technique devised by the Kanagata clan, but released to the public. It is one of few that is actually useable by anyone, rather than just by one of the two most masterful lightning clans. A largely variable technique in regards to application, Ijū no tsūshin is executed utilizing handseals only when the user's skill is exceptionally low. The amount of handseals varies depending on user skill, complexity of the technique's application, and distance. Cutting to the point, Ijū no tsūshin allows the user to transmit subtle electrical signals via chakra. One of the primary uses of Ijū no tsūshin is in the vein of nigh telepathic communication by sending electrical signals from one individual to the other. This application is B rank at least as it requires incredible mental focus and chakra control so as not to accidentally use too much electricity and thus damage the brain. While most users of Ijū no tsūshin are only capable of communicating rudimentary orders over only twenty or so meters, those capable of utilizing the technique at A rank are able to transmit signals over 10s of miles of distance. The further away the individual, the less complex the signals must be with few exceptions.
The last, and forbidden, use of this technique is effectively mind control, which is considered a technique only in the grasp of a select few, most of which are members of the Kanagata clan. This mind control is utilized via the user transmitting a set of continuous electrical signals of extreme complexity, thus allowing them to effectively fire nerves strategically, and even highjack an individual's brain and use it to further transmit signals once highjacked. This application is considered S rank and is typically used only as an interrogation technique, having been forbidden in all other scenarios.
Weakness: While not limited in its range or the complexity of the “commands,” or the detail of its communicative abilities, and certainly not possessing a high chakra cost barring its S rank use, Ijū no tsūshin is not an easy technique to maintain. While its chakra cost is not great, every use takes a sliver, and continuous use, even for most masters, threatens to cause the user to become less and less aware of the amount of chakra going into the process. Additionally, due to the sheer complexity of translating “words,” and concepts directly to the brain of another individual via electrical signals, even for the sake of mere communication, this technique takes a level of focus for all, but the most masterful users that makes it largely useless in combat as it would only allow most individuals to give very simple commands, if that. Lastly, when using the S rank form of this technique, a given user is typically incapable of manipulating more than one individual at a time and almost always must remain entirely immobile while doing so. When controlling another person their own senses and awareness of their surroundings are lowered considerably making them more vulnerable to both genjutsu and surprise attacks.
It should be noted that in addition to the aforementioned weaknesses, this technique can be disrupted in several other notable ways as it only works properly when conducting through air. As such, the signals carried by the electricity will be distorted too greatly to be used if they must travel through three meters of dense material or any liquid. Should an individual be cloaked in lightning chakra or have it running through their body the technique will be unable to take over their body, or will be drowned out by the stronger electrical currents. Lastly, individuals with exceptional chakra control can treat even the S ranked technique much like a genjutsu and fluctuate their chakra continuously to disrupt the jutsu's control long enough to reassert their own.

Name of Technique: Idou no Himotsuki(移動の紐付 'Removal of Restriction').
Type of Jutsu: FuiNinjutsu.
Rank: B.
Range: 6 meter radius.
Nature Type: N/A.
Handseals: 5.
Description: Utilizing his blade, Genmyou channels a fuinjutsu through it and/or stores one within and utilizes this later. Once prepared with hand seals, Genmyou will stab his blade into the ground and call out this technique's name. Once done the seal will appear inscribed around where the blade's location of piercing/contact. He will quickly say the name of the seal and it will expand outwards covering a space with a 6 meter diameter with the blade at it's epicenter. Anyone who comes into contact with the sealing area will be affected by whichever fuinjutsu has been placed therein. The seal for this technique appears as the normal seal (seen in the link) overlaid with whatever seal he is using.
Weakness: This technique can only be held as long as his blade remains in the ground. Once one or more individuals enter the area of sealing it begins to drain Genmyou's chakra to fuel whichever fuinjutsu are being utilized. This technique can only remain active for up to 4 minutes, this can vary in relation to which fuinjutsu are being utilized through it.
Genmyou is no normal individual and as such his chakra is incredibly unique. Not only is he incredibly difficult to sense even with doujutsu, his chakra's unique state tends to give sensory nin a headache and as such they tend to have a lot of trouble pinpointing his position. Additionally where his normal chakra openings would be, there are actually 3. His body seems capable of releasing chakra from many different places in comparison to a normal individual. Genmyou also appears to have a rather high chakra level in addition to being able to use shape manipulation much quicker than most. It should be noted that Genmyou is immune to his own lightning affinity (he can channel it through his body without being harmed) and that lightning jutsu of C rank or below will not cause him harm. Last of all he appears to be especially durable and is very quick on his feet. It should be taken into mind that Genmyou's specialties are firstly in fuinjutsu, secondly in kenjutsu(with a proficiency in defensive taijutsu), and thirdly in ninjutsu.
Name of Kekkei Genkai: Tukkumu shijun(突っ組む至純 'To strive for Absolute purity').
Fuen Ametsuchi(敷衍 天地 'Amplification of Heaven and Earth')
Clan: Unknown.
Zoukasari.
Description: Appearing to modify any natural affinities that the inheritor possesses, but this is not it's sole capability. This kekkei genkai, known as Tukkumu shijun, appears to allow Genmyou advanced control over essentially all of his chakra's aspects. This has apparently altered his natural affinity as well as allowing him, due to extended research and training, to utilize 'pure' chakra. Due to his skill in fuuinjutsu he is capable of effectively programming this purified energy form with purpose utilizing seals and the like. His control over his chakra system is so great that he can willingly pure, fluctuate, speed up, or slow down the flow of chakra within his body to his will.

Custom Jutsu
Name of Technique: Agarisagari(上がり下がり 'Fluctuation').
Type of Jutsu: Fuinjutsu.
Rank: B
Range: Contact.
Nature Type: N/A.
Handseals: 3.
Description: By studying and modifying the Gogyo Fuin(Five Elements Seal), Genmyou has developed a technique that utilizes the concept of disrupting other seals and by extension chakra. Unlike the Gogyo Fuin, this technique disrupts chakra even if there are no other seals present on the victim. When the Agarisagaro is placed on an individual it will impede the movement of chakra by disrupting the chakra path ways and causing them to fluctuate randomly. This makes it twice as difficult to utilize ninjutsu or to generally focus and control chakra.
Weakness: If the seal is damaged it will be rendered useless. Additionally it can be removed by the Gogyo Kaiin. The seal can be disrupted by firing chakra into the seal from the outside or focusing it in the seal till it breaks. Breaking this seal by focusing chakra and overloading it is considerably difficult and will waste chakra due to the fact that the fluctuations make it hard to focus and direct chakra.

The location is designated by a localization of his pure chakra. This technique takes such a small amount of chakra that it is completely negligible.
Weakness: This technique can only summon to where the specified chakra is located. Additionally, if the chakra is used for a long range summoning the jutsu will become increasingly more taxing with the increase in distance. This jutsu is also unable to summon anything over the size of a person in mass and weight.

Type of Jutsu: Fuinjutsu.

Range: Physical or chakratic contact.
Nature Type: Pure chakra.
Handseals: 0.
Description: Essentially Genmyou has such a mastery of his purified chakra that as long as something is either within his aura (such as his blank tags or scrolls) he is capable of inscribing seals on them. If he is touching the object it takes less time than if it was in his aura, specifically direct contact is 2x as effective as indirect(aural).
If mentioned in a seal, these will be different, otherwise these apply.
D Rank: Aural contact takes 5 seconds (afterwards the seal is useable) and direct has no charge.
C Rank: Aural contact takes 8 seconds and direct takes 3 seconds.
B Rank: Aural contact takes 10 seconds and direct takes 5 seconds.

Name of Technique: Fuinjutsu: Chousei(フイン術: 調整 'Sealing Technique: Modification').
Type of Jutsu: Fuinjutsu.
Rank: D.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: N/A.
Handseals: 3.
Description: This technique is a small set of interlaid lines and circles that can be applied to any of his fuinjutsu. Effectively, this allows him to activate or deactivated a fuinjutsu's effect by preforming 3 hand seals. This is always utilized in regards to his fire sealing method techniques and has the effect of allowing him to release the jutsu from the scroll or otherwise object.
Weakness: It has no effect by itself and has normal seal weaknesses.

Name of Technique: Tsuuro shougeichiten(通路商芸地点 'Pathway blocking point').
Type of Jutsu: Fuinjutsu.
Rank: B.
Range: Contact.
Nature Type: N/A.
Handseals: 4.
Description: An interesting technique, Tsuuro shougeichiten effectively acts much like a strike from the gentle fist style in that once applied it blocks chakra. Unlike the Lion closing roar or similar techniques however, this seal instead blocks chakra in such a way that the path is effected much like the blood stream is by a blood clot. This effectively means that overtime Tsuuro shougeichiten causes a blockage in the chakra stream which can create a build up in pressure. This varies in how long, but the more chakra that is being used/the faster the flow of chakra, the quicker this will occur. If the seal is not removed this blockage can effectively rupture a chakra pathway and cause chakra to rampantly flow into areas of the body where it should not be, this is incredibly painful. Additionally, if the seal is removed -of course depending on how early after it is applied- the chakra blocked will suddenly rush to move and fill the space. If the seal was placed near a chakra exit, this can cause chakra to randomly eject from the victim's body and thus waste their chakra.
Weakness: The seal will break after a certain amount of chakra has built up as the pressure acts about the same as overwhelming the seal with chakra. If the seal is damaged or removed it's effects are nullified. This seal requires some of the user's chakra to be stored within the seal in addition to the effort needed to create the seal.
====================
Name of Technique: Ryuutsuuro Fuin(流通路吹いん 'Dragon-pathway seal').
Type of Jutsu: Fuinjutsu.
Rank: A.
Range: Contact.
Nature Type: N/A.
Handseals: 5.
Description: By executing the 5 hand seals, forming the seal on something or with his chakra and applying it the user effectively boosts the victim's abilities. The victim's chakra system speeds up and is improved in it's ability to release chakra thus allowing their body to be faster and stronger. This also means ninjutsu seem to unexpectedly come out stronger than normal, the effected part will usually not notice the difference due to adrenaline. After the three minute mark they'll begin to feel tired and within the next 2 minutes fatigue will set in.
Weakness: This technique can only be overloaded with chakra if the user can focus their chakra to the seal rather than letting it flow. Additionally the seal can be removed or damaged to cease it's effects, though any chakra used before hand will still have caused some portion of the desired effect. This jutsu takes around 1 minute to fully activate and thus seems more gradual. A-S ranked individuals can forcibly slow their chakra system and skilled B rank individuals may be able to do so as well.
====================
Name of Technique: Denkou Ooi(でんこう多い 'Lightning Mantle').
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu.
Rank: A.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: Lightning
Handseals: 8.
Description: Through studying lightning release armor and then utilizing his ability to conduct lightning through his body with no ill effects, Genmyou is capable of making a mantle of lightning around his body and within. This mantle allows him to move at high speed, though nowhere near as fast as lightning release armor, it takes a rather skill individual to track his movements without the aid of a doujutsu. This jutsu essentially amplifies his speed and strength, the strength aspect is much weaker than the speed. If an individual comes into contact with the mantle they will find themselves damaged, be it through burns or shocks.
Weakness: This jutsu, though not all that chakra taxing, makes it difficult to utilize other jutsu while it is active. Prepared jutsu do not count, additionally Denkou Ooi only lasts for a maximum of three minutes and has a cooldown time ranging from 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Kaminari Rekka – K'
Name: Kaminari Rekka
Nickname/Alias: K' (Pronounced 'Kay-dash')
Gender: Male
Age: 13
Age Appearance: 13
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Birthplace: Lightning Country
Organization: Hidden Cloud Village
Clan/Kekkei Genkai (or hiden): Raikira Clan
Rank: Genin
Position: Private (There are no nobles in this clan)
Chakra Nature: Lightning Element
Additional Appearance Details:
K' is 4'7 and weighs 101 pounds. He his short, white, spiky hair and a dark complexion. he has mahogany-brown eyes and a tatoo of his Clan's name in kanji on his right cheek.
History:
K' was born into a family that had not triggered the Raikira bloodline in six generations. All of his cousins, uncles, aunties, grandparents and beyond of the blood line all displayed no proof of Raikia blood flowing through their veins. There was a lot of pressure on K' and his generation to flourish something of the bloodline so that the rest of the family had proof that their lineage to the Raikira was no falsehood. When K' was the only one of his generation to show those characteristics, it set him on a separate path to the others. Rather than being admired or praised for having the bloodline, his actions were critiqued, watched and scrutinised harsher than anyone else in the family. He was put into constant training and practice to prepare him for the shinobi life before he was even old enough to attend shinobi school.
It was made very clear that if he wasn't best, he was not good enough, and that being a world class ninja was the only way he would be someone important, or that the family could be proud. Not only did the pressure and constant lack of praise shape K''s personality into the snarky, grumpy youth he is now, but importance that was always placed on him alienated him from his kin due to jealousy.
Nonetheless, K' is continuing on the path to being a ninja, but secretly holding on to his own ninja way. He wants to prove that he is a great ninja irrelevant of the Raikira blood in his veins so that he can be someone that no one could ever complain wasn't good enough. He wants to do so by being the first known Raikira bloodline ninja to exhibit complete mastery of Lightning Chakra. ...Even if he's not quite sure how that would be possible...
Personality:
K' behaves and speaks facetiously. It's not an actual character trait - he's very mindful of manners and typical social norms, he just chooses not to stifle his opinion by them. It goes without saying that he has a verbal response for any situation and is much more likely to express himself vocally than by any non-verbal communication. K' has an eye for subtleties and is very comfortable in his own space and skin, meaning he isn't deterred by awkward silences or strange personality ticks in other people that most might be. K' has an aversion to being in or near large bodies of water and abhors being out in the rain. This is a phobia more than a personal choice. K' doesn't consciously hate water or think of it as an issue but conversely he can freak out and attack erratically when in the presence of large volumes of unfamiliar water. It doesn't help that he a fairly mediocre swimmer.
K' likes to challenge and make rivals out of those of his own generation that have lineage or notoriety. Although in a social setting K' can be a trying if not aggravating personality, in a team setting K' is very good at functioning alongside others, sometimes without even saying anything. This is due to how well and quickly K' is willing to adjust when he knows circumstances have changed.

Nickname/Alias: K' (Pronounced 'Kay-dash')
Gender: Male
Age: 13
Age Appearance: 13
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Birthplace: Lightning Country
Organization: Hidden Cloud Village
Clan/Kekkei Genkai (or hiden): Raikira Clan
Rank: Genin
Position: Private (There are no nobles in this clan)
Chakra Nature: Lightning Element
Additional Appearance Details:
K' is 4'7 and weighs 101 pounds. He his short, white, spiky hair and a dark complexion. he has mahogany-brown eyes and a tatoo of his Clan's name in kanji on his right cheek.
History:
K' was born into a family that had not triggered the Raikira bloodline in six generations. All of his cousins, uncles, aunties, grandparents and beyond of the blood line all displayed no proof of Raikia blood flowing through their veins. There was a lot of pressure on K' and his generation to flourish something of the bloodline so that the rest of the family had proof that their lineage to the Raikira was no falsehood. When K' was the only one of his generation to show those characteristics, it set him on a separate path to the others. Rather than being admired or praised for having the bloodline, his actions were critiqued, watched and scrutinised harsher than anyone else in the family. He was put into constant training and practice to prepare him for the shinobi life before he was even old enough to attend shinobi school.
It was made very clear that if he wasn't best, he was not good enough, and that being a world class ninja was the only way he would be someone important, or that the family could be proud. Not only did the pressure and constant lack of praise shape K''s personality into the snarky, grumpy youth he is now, but importance that was always placed on him alienated him from his kin due to jealousy.
Nonetheless, K' is continuing on the path to being a ninja, but secretly holding on to his own ninja way. He wants to prove that he is a great ninja irrelevant of the Raikira blood in his veins so that he can be someone that no one could ever complain wasn't good enough. He wants to do so by being the first known Raikira bloodline ninja to exhibit complete mastery of Lightning Chakra. ...Even if he's not quite sure how that would be possible...
Personality:
K' behaves and speaks facetiously. It's not an actual character trait - he's very mindful of manners and typical social norms, he just chooses not to stifle his opinion by them. It goes without saying that he has a verbal response for any situation and is much more likely to express himself vocally than by any non-verbal communication. K' has an eye for subtleties and is very comfortable in his own space and skin, meaning he isn't deterred by awkward silences or strange personality ticks in other people that most might be. K' has an aversion to being in or near large bodies of water and abhors being out in the rain. This is a phobia more than a personal choice. K' doesn't consciously hate water or think of it as an issue but conversely he can freak out and attack erratically when in the presence of large volumes of unfamiliar water. It doesn't help that he a fairly mediocre swimmer.

Special Traits
K' is particular fast, but his natural strength is very modest and his endurance even worse. He also suffers from a below average chakra pool, but has above average chakra control. Practice and dedication has given him a forte in Kenjutsu, he has some grasp of specific ninjutsu, and Genjutsu is a completely foreign beast to him. K' is limited by his means to fight. He works best when he can fight in periodic short bursts, backing off before his opponent can really get started. There is also the need for him to be up close to put his swordsmanship to work, which is his most chakra-efficient means of attack.
Name of Kekkei Genkai/Hiden/Kekkei Tota: Raikirachi
Clan: Raikira
Description: The Raikira Clan is one of the oldest ninja clans known to the Lightning Country. Originating as a splinter clan, the clan has a bloodline mutated from an older, somewhat lost bloodline along with the Kanagata clan. There was a rivalry between the clans due to the disparity in how the bloodlines operate and the question of which clan holds the true lineage of origin and which is the mutation. The clan itself has no specific or discrete separation from the general populace of Hidden Cloud Ninja or any specific culture to speak of. This is because the bloodline that ties the descendants and lineage together does not gift the user discrete and specific talents like other notable bloodlines. This bloodline gives the user an unusually great affinity to lightning element jutsu. The user can develop the ability to resist pure lightning chakra jutsu and even 'recharge' their chakra pools with incoming jutsu of the same nature as well has having a natural talent towards grasping lightning element jutsu themselves. On the contrary, this bloodline limits the elemental affinity of the user to lightning alone, leaving the user unable to mould their charkra for any other elemental type, even composite types with lightning in them. However, this bloodline is one the rare recessive bloodlines, meaning it is possible a user could be the first in 10 or more generations to manifest these powers. Those with the recessive gene will not have the special affinity to lightning chakra, but also aren't limited to lightning chakra either.
Because of the inherent random nature of whether or not Raikira Clansmen inherit the bloodline many of the Raikira clan operate as typical, indiscriminate ninja, going as far as to have christened and last names separate to the 'Raikira' epithet.

Custom Jutsu Yes you need to use this format for jutsu.
Name of Technique: Raikirachi no Torigā
Type of Jutsu: Kekkei Ninjutsu
Rank: D
Range: Self
Nature Type: Lightning
Handseals: N/A
Description: This is a passive Ninjutsu which offer the user special affinity to Lightning chakra. Hostile attacks of lightning element are resisted by 5%, and 1% of the chakra can be absorbed by the user.
Weakness: Like many bloodline techniques, there is no inherent weakness to the technique.
Name of Technique: Raitogan
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Range: Self (visibility up to 20 meters)
Nature Type: Lightning
Handseals: 4
Description: The user charges their eyes with lightning chakra. This chakra pulses out like a focus laser point out to whatever the user is looking at and directly back to the user's eyes like a homing photon. This enhances the user's visibility field, even in pitch black conditions.
Weakness: This technique cannot be redirected to offer sight to others and only works within a definite range for night vision. Additionally, jutsu of the same or higher rank that cause darkness will over power this jutsu.
Name of Technique: Ranshō-ha
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: D
Range: Melee
Nature Type: Lightning
Handseals: 4
Description: The user releases a surge of lightning chakra into their palms. By touching living tissue, the user exerts the lightning chakra into the target, effectively causing an EMP within the electrical pulses in that section of muscle. For typical body parts, the EMP'd part will instantly cramp up for 30 seconds. Biceps will curl in, hands will tighten into a grip, thighs and calves will not relax to walk or kick etc. If the user makes contact with the head/central nervous system, then the target's entire motor function freeze for 5 seconds as opposed to the brain spasming for 30 seconds.
Weakness: The user has to be able not only to touch the skin of the target, but also the correct part to successfully use this technique.
Name of Technique: Jinrai Shippu
Type of Jutsu: Genjutsu
Rank: D
Range: 5 meters
Nature Type: Lightning
Handseals: 1
Description: The user will thrust forward with either a finger or something pointy within their palm which conducts electricity. The user will unleash lightning chakra in the form of a photon that will be emitted from the pointed finger or object straight forward until it hits something a physical object. When this photon reaches the head of the enemy, it influxes their retina's with light, giving them laser burn of the last image they could see for 5 seconds, much like a flash bang. The difference being, the eyes of the target do not strain or undergo pain as they are being flashed.
Weakness: Unlike normal genjutsu, the illusion does not take over all 5 normal senses, neither does it draw in the enemy to instinctively believe the illusion.

Kanagata, Himawari
Name: Kanagata(Metal-pattern), Himawari(Sunflower).
Nickname/Alias: Hima; Hima-san; Hima-kun.
Gender: Male.
Age: 15.
Age Appearance: 15.
Sexuality: Heterosexual.
Village: Kumogakure.
Birthplace: Land of Lightning - Kanagata compound.
Organization: Kumogakure and the Kanagata clan.
Clan/Bloodline: Kanagata/Raijin no junshū.
Joutei no inryokuban(God of the Gravity grid): This is the highest Ranking and usually the most skilled, powerful, and influential member of the clan. He is effectively the clan head and all final decisions must be run by him unless a state of emergency is upon the clan and/or the village. They are often the eldest but this is not always the case as skill and intelligent decision making and leadership skills are more important than experience in this situation due to the easy reliance on the other 2 inheritors. The individual in this position does have their own assigned branch but they are less entitled to their well being in comparison to the other 2 inheritors due to the 1st inheritors increased authority over all branches of the clan. (may update with the weapon that this individual is given).
Chinjunokamiban(Guardian god of the grid): This is the 2nd in command position of the clan -though to outsiders it seems the same as an advisor or simply an individual of equal authority-. This individual is almost always required to be the tactics specialist though exceptions have been made in different situations. They generally have 2nd say and help the 1st inheritor in any way possible as well as supporting their assigned branch of the clan. They are almost always given the blade known as Buyu rakurai, which is indeed the case for Tesshu.
Mittei rakurai(Emissary of lightning bolts): The technical lowest rank in the clan this individual oversee's their own individual branch as well as the more minor processes of the clan. They receive the least augmented weapon of the kanagata clan and -as is usually the case- are the weakest of the 3 inheritors, though this is not always the case. Strangely throughout the years it has been seen that the 3rd inheritor actually has more sway in times of intense chaos as they are usually skilled in the fire affinity of their kekkei genkai and have skills -both socially and in battle- to handle chaos due to familiarity with it.

Though there is a strong sense of loyalty to each other within the Kanagata clan they do not have the ideology of non-biased loyalty meaning they are not necessarily completely honest outside of the clan. One should however keep in mind that only once has an inner clan betrayal occurred and the man can still not be found to this day. It however is said that he was the Mittei rakurai of he time and he took out the 2 above him through his unique capabilities and discovered a method in which to take their collective abilities making him an incredible threat. He then left with none of the clan able to combat him in his horrible glory.
The man is still being searched for but since then the ties from clan member to clan member are mutual and made to be very tight knit so as not to have something like this occur again. Additionally the 3 inheritors are usually of similar village rank and standing with each only having slight differences in class stature and the like.
Rank: Genin.
Chakra Nature: Denjiton(Lightning+Earth) and Fuuton.
Additional Appearance Details: While his head protector is indeed around his neck as depicted however, it is completely blank, having no markings whatsoever. When he enters battle, he removes his sheathed katana from the case on his back and fastens it to on the left side of his body at the waist
History: TBA.
Personality: Often amused, Himawari finds a lot of the world to be funny. This may because he feels he understands it and experiences it in a greater sense than others. One could say it is an illusion of superiority, but this illusion stops at his ego as in truth he is quite intelligent. His humor and mentality is rather sarcastic, but generally he feels that anything he says --given the situation is at least somewhat appropriate-- is in good humor and not insult or the like. When it comes to his friends he is loyal, the same generally goes to any whose allegiance he is sworn. In terms of anger, well he is no stranger however, he certainly does not have a short temper and it is only slights to his friends that effect him. He can be seen as a bit of an ass at times due to his natural tendency for sarcasm, but beneath the surface he is just a guy having some light hearted fun. He has a severe dislike of being underestimated. He is generally a rather calm individual however, he quite enjoys battle in almost any form and becomes quite excited during, though he doesn't allow this to let him lose his focus.
Unlike many others in these rough times, Himawari has lived in relatively peaceful and unchanging times. However, he was not born into the direct lineage of his clan and so has had to struggle for most of his life to be acknowledged to the extent that he wished. His parents were a mixed brood, a dissatisfied mother, but a rather supportive father. As he grew in age he came to understand that while he could gain power and some measure of skill within the bounds of his clan compound, he would never be able to stand the confinement, the hierarchy, or the monotony of seeing the same people and places over and over again. At the age of 13 he informed his mother that he'd become a shinobi.
In reaction, his mother --for the 1st time in his life-- showed her affection to him and extracted a blade from a hidden compartment in their home. For several months, as he had decided to wait a fair time till he felt more desirable as a recruit, he trained under his mother to master the art of kenjutsu. He came to better understand his mother and why his father would marry such a woman, despite her disposition towards him prior to. Finally, on his 14th birthday, he departed from the Kanagata clan compound and entered Shin'gakure and Qui Languidis. Since then he has made friends with the genin and chuunin of the village, quite enjoying the missions and experience he has gained in his time thus far.

Some things to know about the Kanagata clan would be their specified Rank system and their individual status and weaponry. In terms of inner clan leadership their are 3 inheritors who collectively take the mantel from the shoulders of their predecessors. Each generation of these inheritors almost always has their clans kekkei genkai and is ALWAYS hand picked by all 3 of one of the 3 previous inheritors. The Ranks are as follows with their corresponding place in the clan and general function.

Name of Weapon or Item:
Jiyūna(自由な 'The Unfettered').
Description:
Granted to him by his mother, Jiyūna is a blade forged from the specialized alloys of the Kanagata clan. While it is nowhere near as famous or powerful as the three ancestral blades of the clan, Jiyūna is a very useful weapon. This is particularly due to the kanji inscribed upon the katana's blade. The following kanji are upon the blade's base and are what allow the blade to shift its form with the assistance of the Raijin no junshū: 無関心フォーム(Apathetic form). In essence, the special alloys are especially conductive of chakra as well as electricity and being incredibly magnetic. This more or less allows the blade to be heated by lightning chakra and its form shifted by magnetism with ease. This, due to the kanji, which in fact form a seal, does not damage the blade in the least. This means that no matter the form it takes, it remains equally resilient to strikes and its capabilities remain. It should also be noted that this blade is exceptionally dense and thus heavy as otherwise it would not have as much mass to be manipulated when it shifts shape.

Kekkei Genkai:
Name of Kekkei Genkai:
Raijin no junshū(雷神の准州 'Territory of the lightning god').
Clan:
Kanagata.
Description:
The Kanagata clan's kekkei genkai is forged from the earth and lightning affinities to make a powerful electromagnetic field around the user. Depending on skill and overall power, the clan member's magnetic field will be anywhere from 5-30 meters in its hemispheric radius. The inheritors to this genetically dominant kekkei genkai receive both Denjiton(Electromagnetic release) as their chakra nature, but also naturally wider chakra pathways within their body. This gives inheritors a naturally larger chakra capacity. As to their aural field, they are able to sense movement through it as it displaces and reorganizes the chakra present therein. This magnetic field can be disrupted by fire affinity jutsu, but not destroyed. The chakra is linked directly to the inheritor's chakra system and can be considered in the same sense as internal chakra; thus it cannot be sealed by normal means. Their electromagnetic field allows them to control lightning chakra within its bounds as well as to magnetize and manipulate possibly magnetic bodies while they remain within the field --the exceptions being chakra infused weapons, armor, or the like. Lastly, skilled inheritors gain a resistance --not immunity- to genjutsu due to the natural flux of their inner chakra system.

Range: Within the magnetic field of his kekkei genkai.
Nature Type: Denjiton.
Description: Raika shin'i is a jutsu that was created rather recently by the clan's 2nd in command. The Raika shin'i, aka Flash of lightning god's authority, allows those of the Kanagata clan the ability to control the movement of their lightning techniques through their magnetic field. It is also categorized as a magnetism based ability due to the fact that it also helps techniques like Kanaaji inryoku function properly. This, in essence, is the precise control of the individuals magnetic aura as well as their inner chakra system which is what creates their resistance to genjutsu and innate shape manipulation abilities.
Weakness: Due to it being a highly valuable technique it can be crippling to almost any Kanagata to lose the ability to use it in battle. This can occur by blocking the chakra points, which does take at least twice the effort (2 hits or a very efficient taijutsu) in order to block. It can be disrupted by water or metals as they have higher conductivity then the air that this technique controls the conductivity paths within through the use of the magnetic field. Fire can be a bane to it but is not as effective as the aforementioned abilities and unless B rank or above will take time to effect the technique.
====================
Name of Technique: Ishoku Goukin(衣食合金 'Living Alloy').
Type of Jutsu: Kekkei Ninjutsu/passive ability.
Rank: N/A.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: Denjiton.
Description: This technique is very simple in nature and is a passive trait of the Kanagata clan's kekkei genkai. Essentially, the body of a Kanagata clan member is a super magnet, the reason is thought to be that their chakra system is almost entirely composed of magnetic chakra rather than normal chakra. This means that they can effect their own bodies with their magnetism abilities in addition to being able to conduct more lightning techniques without taking nearly as much damage. Their own lightning techniques are also essentially unable to damage their body unless otherwise is stated.
Weakness: Affinity weaknesses.
====================
Name of Technique: Jiyūna tomonari(自由な共鳴り 'Unfettered resonance').
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu.
Rank: D-A [D].
Range: Contact-Within magnetic field.
Nature Type: Denjiton.
Handseals:: 3.
Description: A technique taught to him by his mother to eventually perfect his ability to wield her blade, Jiyūna, this essentially extends the chakra of the user into the blade and causes a constant flow between the two to occur. A small amount of chakra is lost due to his imperfect chakra control however, the benefits of this technique are far greater than such a small loss. Essentially, this constant flow of chakra makes the blade almost literally part of him thus increasing his ability to wield it far beyond what his rank might suggest. Additionally, this keeps the blade in a state of malleability without actually changing its shape, meaning that the moment he wishes it, he can shift the blade's shape. The greater the skill of the user, the more effective this is and the more applications it gains. At the moment, Himawari is really only capable of minor changes to the blade and thus this technique only allows it to be lightened and attuned to his body. While this is active, any techniques channeled through Jiyūna become 5-20% more effective depending on the skill of the user (currently 5%).
Weakness: Once the three handseals are utilized once, this technique becomes permanently active until the blade is sheathed, this means that it takes a constant but tiny drain on the user's chakra. This technique puts a degree of his focus into his blade naturally, causing him to lose a slight amount for other things.
====================
Name of Technique: Kyōmei hirameku(共鳴閃く 'Resonance flash').
Type of Jutsu: Kekkei Kenninjutsu.
Rank: D-C. [D]
Range: Within magnetic field.
Nature Type: Denjiton.
Handseals:: 2.
Description: Utilizing handseals with his free hand, Himawari sheaths his blade and allows its magnetic resonance to channel through its sheath. Then in an instant he will cause this magnetism to polarize to the same frequency of the blade. This causes Jiyūna to be rapidly expelled from his sheath just as he quick draws, increasing the speed exponentially and delivering a strike that few, if any, of his rank can handle at close range. At C rank the speed increases slightly, but just as the blade's tip reaches the edge of the sheath, it pulls some of the electromagnetism into itself. This causes the strike to send a small shock of electricity, only enough to cause minor damage and stun for around 3 seconds.
Weakness: Requires him to sheath his blade and thus disable his weapon before use. Takes a small chakra cost. Difficult to utilize while moulding chakra for other techniques.
====================
Name of Technique: Ryōiki no seiteki hankyō(領域静的反响 'Field of static resonance').
Type of Jutsu: Kekkei ninjutsu/Supplementary.
Rank: D-B [D].
Range: Within magnetic field.
Nature Type: Denjiton,
Handseals:: 5.
Description: Utilizing 5 handseals as he moulds chakra, Himawari releases a shroud of denjiton chakra, with an ambient amount of raiton chakra, into the area of his magnetic field. This allows him several capabilities, one of which is the utilization of his blade which will latch onto the static electricity in the field as he swings and increase the speed of the strike as well as allowing him to send shocks of lightning, with varying levels of power, from his blade. Besides this, the user can utilize Raika shin'i to focus, channel, direct, and generally manipulate the static electricity into more dangerous forms.
Weakness: This technique takes a moderate-high chakra cost, though such is currently only moderate due to the rank at which he uses the jutsu. Affinity weaknesses do apply with a predominance of the lightning affinity's weakness to wind.
Wind and water affinity techniques cause him more damage.
Fire affinity techniques disrupt his magnetic field.
Inability to learn genjutsu due to Kekkei genkai.
Electromagnetic aural field - sensory.
Naturally larger chakra reserves.
Talent, but not skill, in ninjutsu.
Fair amount of chakra control.
Limited skill in taijutsu.
Skilled in kenjutsu.
Quick learner.
Adaptive.
Kekkei Genkai:
Name of Kekkei Genkai:
Raijin no junshū(雷神の准州 'Territory of the lightning god').
Clan:
Kanagata.
Description:
The Kanagata clan's kekkei genkai is forged from the earth and lightning affinities to make a powerful electromagnetic field around the user. Depending on skill and overall power, the clan member's magnetic field will be anywhere from 5-30 meters in its hemispheric radius. The inheritors to this genetically dominant kekkei genkai receive both Denjiton(Electromagnetic release) as their chakra nature, but also naturally wider chakra pathways within their body. This gives inheritors a naturally larger chakra capacity. As to their aural field, they are able to sense movement through it as it displaces and reorganizes the chakra present therein. This magnetic field can be disrupted by fire affinity jutsu, but not destroyed. The chakra is linked directly to the inheritor's chakra system and can be considered in the same sense as internal chakra; thus it cannot be sealed by normal means. Their electromagnetic field allows them to control lightning chakra within its bounds as well as to magnetize and manipulate possibly magnetic bodies while they remain within the field --the exceptions being chakra infused weapons, armor, or the like. Lastly, skilled inheritors gain a resistance --not immunity- to genjutsu due to the natural flux of their inner chakra system.

【Affiliation】
N/A
【Shinobi Rank】
Jounin
【Personality】
Shiō is intelligent, but often blames herself for things outside of her control. She does not accept failure well and will obsess over the failure until she reaches the conclusion that it was outside of her control - she still reviews two of her cases on a regular basis in order to figure out what she did wrong. She keeps meticulous records, having patient files far more expansive than many of her colleagues. She enjoys learning and wants to expand her knowledge into other realms of medicine.
Shiō's loyalty is to life and her village.
【History】
Shiō, a peacetime child, began her training as a medical shinobi at the age of ten having had an unwavering interest in medicine her entire childhood. Training directly under Ayameko, another well known medical shinobi, for most of her life, Shiō has created a name for herself within Kyokujitsugakure. Shiō's skills were picked up exceptionally early - having a particular knack for disseminating complex medical information, and an innate ability to understand the workings of the nervous system. Coupling that with her unwavering attitude towards her goals, Shiō made a strong impression on her seniors. Like Ayameko, Shiō spent a lot of time in the Research Division - spending about 5 years there as well. With a significant number of published medical papers, Shio's contribution to her nation is atypical - but still important. In particular, Shiō took a special interest in neurology during her medical training, giving her a unique perspective on shinobi medicine.
From 23 on, she worked directly under Ayameko, eventually taking over both the Sensory and the Medical Corps at 26. She completed her first surgery by herself a week into her joining the Corps, which resulted in the death of the young man she was trying to save. She would go on to lose four other patients in the next 3 years. Frustrated with her failure, she spent much of her time out of surgeries to study what information that she had available. It was around this time that she began experimenting with usages of her Hiden in surgery, leading her to develop her ability to preform surgery in pitch black, using her Hiden for extra 'hands' during her procedure. This allowed her to move quick enough during surgeries to save patients she might not have been able to save before.
She served many years as a surgeon, having been given the nickname "Kage Gekai" by her colleagues, given her preference to preform surgeries in pitch black.
【Chakra Nature(s)】
Raiton
【Abilities and Special Traits】
Shiō is a woman of many abilities. Exceptionally intelligent, with impeccable chakra control, Shiō's potential for growth is significant. She has a particular skill with Ninjutsu and exceptional sensory capabilities. While she does not currently practice the art of Genjutsu, she is capable of learning and preforming it well. She's necessarily agile, making her a difficult target, but lacks the raw speed of many of her Jounin counterparts. Additionally, she lacks any physical strength, making her entirely reliant on her other skills.
Shiō's knowledge of the human body, especially its nervous system, is immense. He teacher, Ayameko, was extremely skilled with genetics and herbalism, of which she has a fair amount of knowledge herself, with an expansive library of books on the subjects.
【Weapons, Tools and Equipment】
Shiō utilizes many standard items for a member of her clan, as well as a traditional shinobi. Her only unique weapons are the set of 10 Senbon that are capable of pinning a persons's shadow using Shadow Imitation Shuriken. She has a larger number of normal Senbon that are often utilized the poison an enemy if needed. Another unique item that she carries are small tubes of explosive powder.
Shiō also has a field medic kit. Additionally, she has a number of various herbal remedies, including some quick acting drugs to sedate a patient (or potentially an enemy), as well as some psychotropic drugs and paralytic toxins. Her most noted use of equipment is the generic weapon seal she placed on the back of her throat, which is capable of producing three things: short range cloud of poison that produces a fairly quick acting paralytic toxin. In small doses this will merely limited response times, but taking a breath in the cloud would result in paralysis after a few minutes, a series of poisoned senbon, and a smoke bomb like cloud to obscure an opponent's vision.

【Custom Jutsu】
Name of Technique: Kage Yochi (Shadow Prediction)
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu (Hiden)
Rank: C
Range: N/A
Nature Type: N/A
Handsigns: N/A
Description: Kage Yochi was an unnamed technique developed by Shiō to allow her to see in the dark as if it were normally lit. Many operations were done at night, making medical triage in darkness a necessity. The technique was given the name by a patient who woke up startled after medical procedure and lunged at her with a kunai, which she subsequently avoided, even while tending to his leg wounds. Surprised she avoided the attack, he asked if she could see the future. She merely explained to him that she was trained not to get hit and that she could see in the pitch black.
Weakness: Offers nothing other than seeing in the dark. Drains chakra when activated.
Name of Technique: Jiko Yokusei (Self Restraint)
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: A
Range: Requires successful Shadow Imitation
Nature Type: N/A
Handsigns: 10
Description: Jiko Yokusei was developed by Shiō as an alternative to taking lethal force (slitting an opponent's throat after successful imitaiton) or significant mutilation (slicing off limbs) to restrain an enemy. By shaping the opponent's shadow into a seal, the technique creates a self perpetuated paralysis.
Weakness: Shaping the shadow into a seal takes time and precision, making it near impossible in combat with more than a singular individual. Additionally, the seal will fade the moment there is no chakra to maintain it or in instances of lighting shifts that would eliminate the original shadow (even if it would create a new one).
Name of Technique: Geka Shokuin (Surgical Staff)
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu (Hiden)
Rank: A
Range: Same as Shadow Sewing
Nature Type: N/A
Handsigns: N/A
Description: An advanced application of her clan's technique which allows her to use tendrils created by her Hiden as conduits for her medical techniques, such as chakra scalpels on the ends of them.
Weakness: Increased chakra cost for both aspects of the Hiden and medical techniques.
Name of Technique: Shimikomaseru (Instill)
Type of Jutsu: Fuuinjutsu/Ninjutsu (Hiden)
Rank: A
Range: Variable
Nature Type: N/A
Handsigns: N/A
Description: After inscribing the seal onto an object, the bearer can infuse the seal with their chakra, allowing them to utilize the seal as a gateway for their shadows, or in cases of extreme infusion of chakra, utilize the shadow of the inscribed object for Nara clan techniques. The usage of the technique is wide, but primarily utilized as a defensive procedure to ensure that the Nara clan member is in a position to defend his or her location by having extra shadows to utilize or less obvious angles of assault with their own shadow. These types of symbols are common within a Nara clan member's home, as well as the trees on the compound in Konoha.
Weakness: Requires significant planning and forethought to utilize. Useless from significant ranges without some kind of vision on a target.
Name of Technique: Chokkan (Intuition)
Type of Jutsu: Fuuinjutsu/Ninjutsu
Rank: A
Range: 5 miles for activation, sensory range after limited to capabilities of the individual
Nature Type: N/A
Handsigns: N/A
Description: After creating a seal onto an object, the user can create a visual link between the symbol and their minds. Visual and sensory capabilities can be utilized through the seal, making them more than a visual technique. However, only one seal can be utilized at a time, without losing complete vision in the near area. Additionally, as a passive, the seal will trigger when a chakra source comes within 200 feet of it, identifying the presence to the person that created the seal.
Weakness: Extremely high chakra cost to set up, requiring significant preparation beforehand.
Name of Technique: Saibō Sōzō (Cell Creation)
Type of Jutsu: Medical Ninjutsu (Hiden)
Rank: S
Range: Short
Nature Type: N/A
Handsigns: 2
Description: An extremely advanced application of the Mystical Palm developed over the years of research by Ayameko and Shiō, essentially allowing a well-trained medical shinobi the ability to create stem cells in varying quantities. An example application would be a severely damaged eye, allowing the cells to replace the damaged portion, restoring full sight. However, in the case of the eye, some portion of either eye would have to be intact, or a partial transplant received in order to regrow a patient's eye. In technical theory, it is possible for this technique to be utilize to regrow an organ or body part without a base sample, but would require laboratory testing and genetic sampling to ensure the organ is created properly - things that are impractical in combat triage situations. This technique can be applied to the regrowth of limbs or other such appendages as well, but require an even greater amount of time to be fully functional.
Weakness: Requires not only massive chakra from the medic-nin, but also constant chakra to sustain the cells as they transition to their new roll. In the cases of large cell creations, it can be weeks before a body part is considered fully functional.
Name of Technique: Shinkeishi
Type of Jutsu: Medical Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Range: Touch.
Nature Type: N/A
Description: Once contact is made, a burst of chakra will be inserted into the body. This will damage the nerve path ways along the strike's point. For example, if someone was struck with a Shinkeishi kick or punch, the point of striking will damage the nerves. One strike will make it harder for that part of the body to move for a bit (15 seconds or so), but if contact lasts for more than a ‘moment’, then the nerves can face more serious damage that would require a healer to be seen. Additionally, this is often used for medical procedures to numb pain.
Weakness: N/A
Name of Technique: Shukketsu (Bleeding)
Type of Jutsu: Iryō Kenjutsu (Medical Kenjutsu)
Rank: B
Range: Melee
Nature Type: N/A
Handseals: N/A
Description: It is a simple, yet highly dangerous technique that can even be applied to basic shinobi tools (tools naturally designed to contain chakra are more potent). Essentially, the technique prevents blood from coagulating along the lines of any stab or cut an opponent receives from the enhanced without finding aid of a medical shinobi. The technique also can work in reverse at short contact range, coagulating a wound within seconds. At increased chakra cost to both techniques, this can also be applied to chakra scalpels.
Weakness: Short range for more common uses can make it difficult to utilize. Circulation can be cut off at the higher parts of the wound, should it be lower on an appendage to prevent too rapid of bloodloss from the technique.

Weakness: Shaping the shadow into a seal takes time and precision, making it near impossible in combat with more than a singular individual. Additionally, the seal will fade the moment there is no chakra to maintain it or in instances of lighting shifts that would eliminate the original shadow (even if it would create a new one).
Name of Technique: Geka Shokuin (Surgical Staff)
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu (Hiden)
Rank: A
Range: Same as Shadow Sewing
Nature Type: N/A
Handsigns: N/A
Description: An advanced application of her clan's technique which allows her to use tendrils created by her Hiden as conduits for her medical techniques, such as chakra scalpels on the ends of them.
Weakness: Increased chakra cost for both aspects of the Hiden and medical techniques.
Name of Technique: Shimikomaseru (Instill)
Type of Jutsu: Fuuinjutsu/Ninjutsu (Hiden)
Rank: A
Range: Variable
Nature Type: N/A
Handsigns: N/A
Description: After inscribing the seal onto an object, the bearer can infuse the seal with their chakra, allowing them to utilize the seal as a gateway for their shadows, or in cases of extreme infusion of chakra, utilize the shadow of the inscribed object for Nara clan techniques. The usage of the technique is wide, but primarily utilized as a defensive procedure to ensure that the Nara clan member is in a position to defend his or her location by having extra shadows to utilize or less obvious angles of assault with their own shadow. These types of symbols are common within a Nara clan member's home, as well as the trees on the compound in Konoha.
Weakness: Requires significant planning and forethought to utilize. Useless from significant ranges without some kind of vision on a target.
Name of Technique: Chokkan (Intuition)
Type of Jutsu: Fuuinjutsu/Ninjutsu
Rank: A
Range: 5 miles for activation, sensory range after limited to capabilities of the individual
Nature Type: N/A
Handsigns: N/A
Description: After creating a seal onto an object, the user can create a visual link between the symbol and their minds. Visual and sensory capabilities can be utilized through the seal, making them more than a visual technique. However, only one seal can be utilized at a time, without losing complete vision in the near area. Additionally, as a passive, the seal will trigger when a chakra source comes within 200 feet of it, identifying the presence to the person that created the seal.
Weakness: Extremely high chakra cost to set up, requiring significant preparation beforehand.
Name of Technique: Saibō Sōzō (Cell Creation)
Type of Jutsu: Medical Ninjutsu (Hiden)
Rank: S
Range: Short
Nature Type: N/A
Handsigns: 2
Description: An extremely advanced application of the Mystical Palm developed over the years of research by Ayameko and Shiō, essentially allowing a well-trained medical shinobi the ability to create stem cells in varying quantities. An example application would be a severely damaged eye, allowing the cells to replace the damaged portion, restoring full sight. However, in the case of the eye, some portion of either eye would have to be intact, or a partial transplant received in order to regrow a patient's eye. In technical theory, it is possible for this technique to be utilize to regrow an organ or body part without a base sample, but would require laboratory testing and genetic sampling to ensure the organ is created properly - things that are impractical in combat triage situations. This technique can be applied to the regrowth of limbs or other such appendages as well, but require an even greater amount of time to be fully functional.
Weakness: Requires not only massive chakra from the medic-nin, but also constant chakra to sustain the cells as they transition to their new roll. In the cases of large cell creations, it can be weeks before a body part is considered fully functional.
Name of Technique: Shinkeishi
Type of Jutsu: Medical Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Range: Touch.
Nature Type: N/A
Description: Once contact is made, a burst of chakra will be inserted into the body. This will damage the nerve path ways along the strike's point. For example, if someone was struck with a Shinkeishi kick or punch, the point of striking will damage the nerves. One strike will make it harder for that part of the body to move for a bit (15 seconds or so), but if contact lasts for more than a ‘moment’, then the nerves can face more serious damage that would require a healer to be seen. Additionally, this is often used for medical procedures to numb pain.
Weakness: N/A
Name of Technique: Shukketsu (Bleeding)
Type of Jutsu: Iryō Kenjutsu (Medical Kenjutsu)
Rank: B
Range: Melee
Nature Type: N/A
Handseals: N/A
Description: It is a simple, yet highly dangerous technique that can even be applied to basic shinobi tools (tools naturally designed to contain chakra are more potent). Essentially, the technique prevents blood from coagulating along the lines of any stab or cut an opponent receives from the enhanced without finding aid of a medical shinobi. The technique also can work in reverse at short contact range, coagulating a wound within seconds. At increased chakra cost to both techniques, this can also be applied to chakra scalpels.
Weakness: Short range for more common uses can make it difficult to utilize. Circulation can be cut off at the higher parts of the wound, should it be lower on an appendage to prevent too rapid of bloodloss from the technique.

Kanagata, Kiyome – Pylon
Name: Kiyome(Purification) Kanagata(Metal Pattern).
Nickname/Alias: Pylon.
Gender: Female.
Age: 26.
Age Appearance: 26.
Sexuality: Heterosexual(?).
Birthplace: Kumogakure.
Organization: Omoitsuku-za.
Clan/Kekkei Genkai: Kanagata/Raijin no junshū.
If original, you need a description of their hierarchy, and what they’re known for. Feel free to include clan history as well.
Rank: S rank missing nin.
Position: Executive Scientist – Electromagnetics.
Chakra Nature: Denjiton(Lightning+Earth) and Wind.
Additional Appearance Details: Kiyomi stands at 5'8 and weighs 193 lbs due to her physical augmentations. Kiyome wears her head protector's metal plate as the centerpiece for her belt buckle. It is notable that her the village symbol on her head protector has been twisted, warped, and scratched, likely by metal weaponry and electromagnetic influence--this is intentional.
History: Hailing from the Land of Lightning Kiyome's life began during the First Shinobi war, putting her right in the middle of one of history's scariest conflicts thus far. Sheltered by her clan, the girl was raised as one of the heir's to its leadership, having been the only child of the clan head she had quite the mantle to live up to. As the years went on it very quickly came to light, even in her toddler days, that Kiyome was not just exceptionally talented, but a sure prodigy as her Kekkei genkai manifested at early enough an age that its use, throughout the rest of her life, became second nature.
With tutors at her beck and call, the girl grew up during the war, sheltered from the conflict despite her surely invaluable tactical worth. Kept safe for at least the first twelve years of her life, with both mother and father on the battlefield far too often, Kiyome was something of a rebellious child, always pushing her elders to or past their limits, testing what she could get away with.. It turned out the answer was quite a lot, and so the girl kept pushing.
As she matured the habit became worse, continuing even after the war was finally over and her father was more present. However, one could say that, in some ways, it was quelled with the news of her mother's death at the hands of, rather unexpectedly, the Antare clan. Crushed by the loss of her mother, who despite her behavior, she adored to a fault, Kiyome's rebelliousness took a backseat to her grief and loss.
Her father did his best to remain there for her, but she couldn't look him in the eyes anymore than she could her mother...not anymore at least. Having reached the age of 15 by then, Kiyome seemed to mellow out, behaving herself when necessary and listening to her elders. However, to those who knew her well, they would have said that she'd become withdrawn and distant.
It was too bad that the new alliances with other clans and the formation of Kumogakure distracted her father and both her uncles from the warning signs. Withdrawing into herself even more, the young girl did her duty, having become a shinobi, helping to protect and maintain Kumogakure under the guidance of the First Raikage. She even managed to rise to the rank of elite jounin despite her age, where she served well, sometimes giving advice to her superiors when the opportunity presented itself.
To those who had known her mother, the similarities between child and parent were apparent. Proud of her daughter, Isei Kanagata did his best to pay her mind, and give her the praise he hadn't during all those terrible years of war.
However, at the end of the day it was for nought, as the First Raikage lay on his death bed and her father was powerless to stop him from electing a man who had only been in their village for several years, a man who practically no one knew much about, to the position of Second Raikage.
It was this event that toppled the house of cards and so, not a month after the man's rise to leadership, she defected. Her actions driven by outrage, the twenty-two year old, having lost faith in the system, trudged out into the world, resolute to never set foot into such a corrupt society again.
With little direction to her travels, Kiyome sought out new purpose and eventually she found it, deciding that she would master the intricacies of electromagnetics and expand it further than anyone had before. Perhaps it was out of spite, or perhaps out of ambition, but at the end of the day she earned a reputation so notable that an organization known as the Omoitsuku-za approached her. Seeing it as a chance to gain more resources for her studies, and secretly hoping to use the connections it gave her to topple the still developing system, she accepted.
As her research continued it became an obsession, one of several, which helped her run away from the source of her issues—her mother's death and the Antare clan. To this day her hatred of the Antare still runs strong and her studies continue.
With her admittance into the fold of the Omoitsuku-za she was able to expand her capabilities with the help of a shinobi neuroscientist, which has elevated her to one of the most recognized positions in the organization: Executive scientist. With the increase in resources that came with this position, Kiyome expanded, creating her trademark Raikō engai and gathering followers and research assistants to her cause she has come into the public eye once more.
In the last several months she has made shop near several smaller settlements, the most recent of which is the Village Hidden in Waterfalls. So far the reasons for her actions are unknown, she intends them to stay that way...for a time at least.

Name of Weapon or Item: Hiraishin(避雷針 'Lightning rods')
Description: A series of twelve hollow metallic rods each of which is four feet long, weighing in at roughly 80 lbs. Each rod is infused with enough denjiton chakra to effectively make it a superconductor. The infused chakra was moulded into it during the creation of the tools and thus remains therein. This energy cannot be tapped for jutsu. The Hiraishin are exceptionally durable due to the density of their structure and the small crossing struts in the hollow of the rods. These rods are a composite of chakra metal and silver making them exceptionally conductive.

Special Traits
Inability to learn genjutsu due to Kekkei genkai.
Reigning master of Raiton-based jutsu.
Electromagnetic aural field – sensory.
Weaker to Fire techniques.
Exceptionally intelligent.
Excellent chakra control.
Large chakra reserves.
Augmented Physiology: In her efforts to reach her current heights, Kiyome changed her food regiment, increasing the amount of minute iron and bits of silver until she gained a resistance against the poisoning that the latter of the two would otherwise cause. Once she had this in place she infused the foods with her denjiton chakra and continued to eat it, manipulating the resulting metals inside her own body till they formed rods and several other things, resulting in her current appearance. As a result of her augmentations she always projects a magnetic field several inches around her body even with Shinsei no naizai-ka active. Additionally her body easily diffuses heat into the metallic augmentations and disperses it.
Name of Kekkei Genkai: Raijin no junshū(雷神の准州 'Territory of the lightning god').
Clan: Kanagata.
Description: The Kanagata clan's kekkei genkai is forged from the earth and lightning affinities to make a powerful electromagnetic field around the user. Depending on skill and overall power, the clan member's magnetic field will be anywhere from 5-30 meters in its hemispheric radius. The inheritors to this genetically dominant kekkei genkai receive both Denjiton(Electromagnetic release) as their chakra nature, but also naturally wider chakra pathways within their body. This gives inheritors a naturally larger chakra capacity. As to their aural field, they are able to sense movement through it as it displaces and reorganizes the chakra present therein. This magnetic field can be disrupted by fire affinity jutsu, but not destroyed. The chakra is linked directly to the inheritor's chakra system and can be considered in the same sense as internal chakra; thus it cannot be sealed by normal means. Their electromagnetic field allows them to control lightning chakra within its bounds as well as to magnetize and manipulate possibly magnetic bodies while they remain within the field --the exceptions being chakra infused weapons, armor, or the like. Lastly, skilled inheritors gain a resistance --not immunity- to genjutsu due to the natural flux of their inner chakra system.

Name of Technique: Raika shin'i(ライカ強電 Flash of lightning God's authority').
Type of Jutsu: Kekkai ninjutsu.
Rank: C-S.
Range: Within the magnetic field.
Nature Type: Denjiton.
Handseals: N/A
Description: Raika shin'i is a jutsu that was created rather recently by the clan's 2nd in command. The Raika shin'i, aka Flash of lightning god's authority, allows those of the Kanagata clan the ability to control the movement of their lightning techniques through their magnetic field. It is also categorized as a magnetism based ability due to the fact that it also helps techniques like Kanaaji inryoku function properly. This, in essence, is the precise control of the individuals magnetic aura as well as their inner chakra system which is what creates their resistance to genjutsu and innate shape manipulation abilities.
Weakness: Due to it being a highly valuable technique it can be crippling to almost any Kanagata to lose the ability to use it in battle. This can occur by blocking the chakra points, which does take at least twice the effort (2 hits or a very efficient taijutsu) in order to block. It can be disrupted by water or metals as they have higher conductivity then the air that this technique controls the conductivity paths within through the use of the magnetic field. Fire can be a bane to it but is not as effective as the aforementioned abilities and unless B rank or above will take time to effect the technique.
====================
Name of Technique: Ishoku Goukin(衣食合金 'Living Alloy').
Type of Jutsu: Kekkei Ninjutsu/passive ability.
Rank: N/A.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: Denjiton.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: This technique is very simple in nature and is a passive trait of the Kanagata clan's kekkei genkai. Essentially, the body of a Kanagata clan member is a super magnet, the reason is thought to be that their chakra system is almost entirely composed of magnetic chakra rather than normal chakra. This means that they can effect their own bodies with their magnetism abilities in addition to being able to conduct more lightning techniques without taking nearly as much damage. Their own lightning techniques are also essentially unable to damage their body unless otherwise is stated.
Weakness: Affinity weaknesses.
====================
Name of Technique: Gairyaku: Reiki no Den-kimiko(概略: レイキの電気巫女 'External Force: Aura of the Lightning god's son').
Type of Jutsu: Kekkai ninjutsu/Shape-manipulation.
Rank: S.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: Denjiton.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: One of the most difficult techniques of the Kanagata clan, this is only learned after the highest of masteries is obtained. Effectively, the user of this technique is capable of changing the size, shape, and potency of their aural magnetism. This is done through controlling the chakra that makes up this aura. Disabling the bond between the chakra and the magnetism and drawing it in to the body, moving the chakra itself around in varied shapes and patterns etc etc.
Weakness: N/A.
====================
Name of Technique: Yuusei: Ji kaeshiame(郵政: 地返し雨 'Dominance: Earth reversal-rain').
Type of Jutsu: Kekkei ninjutsu/Shape-manipulation.
Rank: C-S.
Range: Within magnetic field.
Nature Type: Denjiton and Earth.
Handseals: 12.
Description: Considered to be the earthly equivalent of Raika shin'i, this technique allows a Kanagata clan member to forcibly push their magnetic dominance into the ground rather than it being primarily based in the air. The name of this technique is due to the fact that the user will often then form a reversed gravity effect where variously sized sections of earth will move upwards in a seemingly effortless fashion.
Typically, when this is used it causes a subtle rumbling in the earth within the 60 yard radius and then it will settle. Additionally a low, but always constant hum will emanate from the surrounding area and will gradually increase in it's volume over time. This is further noticed when projectiles are formed and come near an individual. It should be noted that this technique is considered an incredibly advanced earth manipulation technique despite it being of the magnetism affinity.
Weakness: This technique highly limits the abilities of the Raika shin'i in the air and restricts the user's ability to cast and manipulate the trajectory of their air-born lightning techniques. It is also rather mentally taxing and eventually gains a rather monumental chakra cost.
====================
Name of Technique: Jiki kyōmei(磁気共鳴 'Magnetic resonance').
Type of Jutsu: Kekkei ninjutsu.
Rank: C-A.
Range: Within a magnetic field.
Nature Type: Denjiton.
Handseals: 2-4-6.
Description: Its handseals dependent on rank, Jiki kyōmei is a technique that allows the user to send Denjiton chakra into a material and allow the material to propagate the magnetism, though not the chakra that catalyzed the process. This technique also allows the user to generate a magnetic field around objects which have developed the A rank manifestation of this technique. An A rank magnetic field projected by a highly magnetic or conductive substance can reach a cylindrical radius of 8 meters.
Weakness: The less chakra used in the creation of the magnetic field, the less potent the resulting field. The technique must also start within a mangetic field.
====================
Name of Technique: Ijū no tsūshin(移住の通信 'Signals of Transmigration').
Type of Jutsu: Supplementary ninjutsu/Forbidden Technique(?).
Rank: C-S.
Range: 100 mile radius or within magnetic field.
Nature Type: Denjiton and/or Lightning.
Handseals: Variable.
Description: Potentially a forbidden technique when utilized at its strongest, Ijū no tsūshin is a technique devised by the Kanagata clan, but released to the public. It is one of few that is actually useable by anyone, rather than just by one of the two most masterful lightning clans. A largely variable technique in regards to application, Ijū no tsūshin is executed utilizing handseals only when the user's skill is exceptionally low. The amount of handseals varies depending on user skill, complexity of the technique's application, and distance. Cutting to the point, Ijū no tsūshin allows the user to transmit subtle electrical signals via chakra. One of the primary uses of Ijū no tsūshin is in the vein of nigh telepathic communication by sending electrical signals from one individual to the other. This application is B rank at least as it requires incredible mental focus and chakra control so as not to accidentally use too much electricity and thus damage the brain. While most users of Ijū no tsūshin are only capable of communicating rudimentary orders over only twenty or so meters, those capable of utilizing the technique at A rank are able to transmit signals over 10s of miles of distance. The further away the individual, the less complex the signals must be with few exceptions.
The last, and forbidden, use of this technique is effectively mind control, which is considered a technique only in the grasp of a select few, most of which are members of the Kanagata clan. This mind control is utilized via the user transmitting a set of continuous electrical signals of extreme complexity, thus allowing them to effectively fire nerves strategically, and even highjack an individual's brain and use it to further transmit signals once highjacked. This application is considered S rank and is typically used only as an interrogation technique, having been forbidden in all other scenarios.
Weakness: While not limited in its range or the complexity of the “commands,” or the detail of its communicative abilities, and certainly not possessing a high chakra cost barring its S rank use, Ijū no tsūshin is not an easy technique to maintain. While its chakra cost is not great, every use takes a sliver, and continuous use, even for most masters, threatens to cause the user to become less and less aware of the amount of chakra going into the process. Additionally, due to the sheer complexity of translating “words,” and concepts directly to the brain of another individual via electrical signals, even for the sake of mere communication, this technique takes a level of focus for all, but the most masterful users that makes it largely useless in combat as it would only allow most individuals to give very simple commands, if that. Lastly, when using the S rank form of this technique, a given user is typically incapable of manipulating more than one individual at a time and almost always must remain entirely immobile while doing so. When controlling another person their own senses and awareness of their surroundings are lowered considerably making them more vulnerable to both genjutsu and surprise attacks.
It should be noted that in addition to the aforementioned weaknesses, this technique can be disrupted in several other notable ways as it only works properly when conducting through air. As such, the signals carried by the electricity will be distorted too greatly to be used if they must travel through three meters of dense material or any liquid. Should an individual be cloaked in lightning chakra or have it running through their body the technique will be unable to take over their body, or will be drowned out by the stronger electrical currents. Lastly, individuals with exceptional chakra control can treat even the S ranked technique much like a genjutsu and fluctuate their chakra continuously to disrupt the jutsu's control long enough to reassert their own.
====================
Name of Technique: Chikyūshō(地球照 'Earthshine').
Type of Jutsu: Kekkei ninjutsu.
Rank: D-C.
Range: Within a magnetic field.
Nature Type: Denjiton and lightning.
Handseals: 4.
Description: A rather simple technique he creates a tiny spark within the magnetic field and allows the magnetism to focus and conduct it causing it to flare out in a blinding expansion of lightning. The jutsu doesn't do much damage and can't even stun for 5 seconds but does have a highly blinding effect even to individuals with dojutsu as the rapid expansion of chakra confuses the chakra sensing capabilities that they likely possess.
Weakness: Doesn't cause any damage whatsoever.
====================
Name of Technique: Shinsei no naizai-ka(神性の内在化 'Internalization of divinity').
Type of Jutsu: Kekkei kinjutsu.
Rank: S+
Range: Personal.
Nature Type: Denjiton and lightning.
Handseals: 22.
Description: Through mastery of the her aural magnetic field and its interaction with her chakra system Kiyome is capable of pulling this field into her own body. The results of this action are drastic and should anyone else attempt it without years of training, they are more likely to cause themselves brain trauma, paralysis, or outright death. While inheritor's of the Raijin no junshū already possess highly conductive and magnetic bodies as is apparent in Ishoku Goukin, this technique makes utterly transcends former levels causing them to become a super conductor in addition to a magnetic generator. While the effect is not truly permanent, it is possible to maintain for any length of time as it does not rely on chakra to power it and is merely a shift of the magnetic field's focus.
Likely the most notable effect of this technique is how it influences the body, mind, and chakra of the user, amplifying all three respectiely to greatly heightened levels. However, the user's chakra is particularly effected by this aural interalization, causing it to become hyper-potent to the extent that when even minute amounts are externalized mere contact with a single thread of the user's Denjiton chakra can immediately magnetize something, or wrest control of any and all lightning or electricity based techniques. Additionally, due to Kiyome's complete mastery of the Raika shin'i, her chakra control becomes effectively perfect as long as this technique is activated.
As to the physical amplification caused by Shinsei no naizai-ka, the user's reaction speed, senses, and physical movement are amplified greatly on both micro and macro levels. As such, Kiyome is capable of accelerating, decelerating, and maintaining tremendous speeds without damage to herself as part of her movements are manipulated by the magnetic energies in her body effectively allowing her to slingshot herself or anchor herself in mere moments in addition to making extremely fine-tuned movements.
Beyond her physical augmentations are those of her mind, which start with increased processing speed and power and continue on to increased perceptual acuity and attention to detail on any level. While active her mental capabilities are highly attuned, making her hyper aware of her body's status and in near complete control of its actions in all areas, though she can choose to merely leave her internal workings on autopilot. Lastly, all of her thought processes are streamlined making it much more difficult for things to confuse her as she can multitask to greatly increased levels.
Weakness: Due to the sheer density of denjiton and raiton chakra, the user is incapable of utilizing any other affinity while the technique remains in effect. Additionally despite effectively amplifying all of the user's capabilities, this technique must be deactivated it least once every 11 hours for 2 hours worth of time. If the user fails to meet this requirement their mental, chakratic, and physical health will begin to rapidly decline due to the immense amounts of stress this technique causes by effectively supercharging the user. Additionally, this technique can be disrupted by A or S rank fire affinity jutsu engulfing the user. Granted, in most scenarios this would kill them.
====================
Name of Technique: Raikō tentei no sōshin(雷光天帝の送信 'Lightning god's transmission').
Type of Jutsu: Kekkei kinjutsu.
Rank: S.
Range: Contact.
Nature Type: Lightning.
Handseals: 18.
Description: The mental equivalent of Raiton: Kin'niku no kansō, this technique is based off of the S rank form of Ijū no tsūshin, this technique takes this control one step further, allowing the user to program complex mental and pyschological responses into their own, or someone else's central nervous system, specifically their brain. Most, if not all, of these programs require specific stimuli to be activated and otherwise remain dormant.
Weakness: While an incredibly powerful technique, the user can only utilize it on themselves or an individual with whom they remain in prolonged physical contact with. Creating these programs in their own neural network requires minute amounts of chakra, but takes considerable amounts of time, while doing so to another individual requires even more time and chakra. This technique is only possible while Shinsei no naizai-ka is active.

Name of Technique: Raiton: Kin'niku no kansō(雷遁: 筋肉の感想 'Lightning Release: Muscular impressions').
Type of Jutsu: Kekkei kinjutsu.
Rank: S.
Range: Contact.
Nature Type: Lightning and/or Denjiton.
Handseals: 18.
Description: The physical manifestation of Raikō tentei no sōshin and Ijū no tsūshin, this technique, unlike the aforementioned ability allows the user to instead program physiological responses into the target's nervous system. However, similar to it, the technique requires prolonged physical contact and almost always requires specific stimuli to activate the given programs. This ability can even be used in a more subtle manner so as to program muscle memory into one's own body.
Weakness: While an incredibly powerful technique, the user can only utilize it on themselves or an individual with whom they remain in prolonged physical contact with. Creating these programs in their own neural network requires minute amounts of chakra, but takes considerable amounts of time, while doing so to another individual requires even more time and chakra. Like its counterpart, this technique is only available during Shinsei no naizai-ka's use.
Inability to learn genjutsu due to Kekkei genkai.
Reigning master of Raiton-based jutsu.
Electromagnetic aural field – sensory.
Weaker to Fire techniques.
Exceptionally intelligent.
Excellent chakra control.
Large chakra reserves.
Augmented Physiology: In her efforts to reach her current heights, Kiyome changed her food regiment, increasing the amount of minute iron and bits of silver until she gained a resistance against the poisoning that the latter of the two would otherwise cause. Once she had this in place she infused the foods with her denjiton chakra and continued to eat it, manipulating the resulting metals inside her own body till they formed rods and several other things, resulting in her current appearance. As a result of her augmentations she always projects a magnetic field several inches around her body even with Shinsei no naizai-ka active. Additionally her body easily diffuses heat into the metallic augmentations and disperses it.
Name of Kekkei Genkai: Raijin no junshū(雷神の准州 'Territory of the lightning god').
Clan: Kanagata.
Description: The Kanagata clan's kekkei genkai is forged from the earth and lightning affinities to make a powerful electromagnetic field around the user. Depending on skill and overall power, the clan member's magnetic field will be anywhere from 5-30 meters in its hemispheric radius. The inheritors to this genetically dominant kekkei genkai receive both Denjiton(Electromagnetic release) as their chakra nature, but also naturally wider chakra pathways within their body. This gives inheritors a naturally larger chakra capacity. As to their aural field, they are able to sense movement through it as it displaces and reorganizes the chakra present therein. This magnetic field can be disrupted by fire affinity jutsu, but not destroyed. The chakra is linked directly to the inheritor's chakra system and can be considered in the same sense as internal chakra; thus it cannot be sealed by normal means. Their electromagnetic field allows them to control lightning chakra within its bounds as well as to magnetize and manipulate possibly magnetic bodies while they remain within the field --the exceptions being chakra infused weapons, armor, or the like. Lastly, skilled inheritors gain a resistance --not immunity- to genjutsu due to the natural flux of their inner chakra system.

Name of Technique: Raika shin'i(ライカ強電 Flash of lightning God's authority').
Type of Jutsu: Kekkai ninjutsu.
Rank: C-S.
Range: Within the magnetic field.
Nature Type: Denjiton.
Handseals: N/A
Description: Raika shin'i is a jutsu that was created rather recently by the clan's 2nd in command. The Raika shin'i, aka Flash of lightning god's authority, allows those of the Kanagata clan the ability to control the movement of their lightning techniques through their magnetic field. It is also categorized as a magnetism based ability due to the fact that it also helps techniques like Kanaaji inryoku function properly. This, in essence, is the precise control of the individuals magnetic aura as well as their inner chakra system which is what creates their resistance to genjutsu and innate shape manipulation abilities.
Weakness: Due to it being a highly valuable technique it can be crippling to almost any Kanagata to lose the ability to use it in battle. This can occur by blocking the chakra points, which does take at least twice the effort (2 hits or a very efficient taijutsu) in order to block. It can be disrupted by water or metals as they have higher conductivity then the air that this technique controls the conductivity paths within through the use of the magnetic field. Fire can be a bane to it but is not as effective as the aforementioned abilities and unless B rank or above will take time to effect the technique.
====================
Name of Technique: Ishoku Goukin(衣食合金 'Living Alloy').
Type of Jutsu: Kekkei Ninjutsu/passive ability.
Rank: N/A.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: Denjiton.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: This technique is very simple in nature and is a passive trait of the Kanagata clan's kekkei genkai. Essentially, the body of a Kanagata clan member is a super magnet, the reason is thought to be that their chakra system is almost entirely composed of magnetic chakra rather than normal chakra. This means that they can effect their own bodies with their magnetism abilities in addition to being able to conduct more lightning techniques without taking nearly as much damage. Their own lightning techniques are also essentially unable to damage their body unless otherwise is stated.
Weakness: Affinity weaknesses.
====================
Name of Technique: Gairyaku: Reiki no Den-kimiko(概略: レイキの電気巫女 'External Force: Aura of the Lightning god's son').
Type of Jutsu: Kekkai ninjutsu/Shape-manipulation.
Rank: S.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: Denjiton.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: One of the most difficult techniques of the Kanagata clan, this is only learned after the highest of masteries is obtained. Effectively, the user of this technique is capable of changing the size, shape, and potency of their aural magnetism. This is done through controlling the chakra that makes up this aura. Disabling the bond between the chakra and the magnetism and drawing it in to the body, moving the chakra itself around in varied shapes and patterns etc etc.
Weakness: N/A.
====================
Name of Technique: Yuusei: Ji kaeshiame(郵政: 地返し雨 'Dominance: Earth reversal-rain').
Type of Jutsu: Kekkei ninjutsu/Shape-manipulation.
Rank: C-S.
Range: Within magnetic field.
Nature Type: Denjiton and Earth.
Handseals: 12.
Description: Considered to be the earthly equivalent of Raika shin'i, this technique allows a Kanagata clan member to forcibly push their magnetic dominance into the ground rather than it being primarily based in the air. The name of this technique is due to the fact that the user will often then form a reversed gravity effect where variously sized sections of earth will move upwards in a seemingly effortless fashion.
Typically, when this is used it causes a subtle rumbling in the earth within the 60 yard radius and then it will settle. Additionally a low, but always constant hum will emanate from the surrounding area and will gradually increase in it's volume over time. This is further noticed when projectiles are formed and come near an individual. It should be noted that this technique is considered an incredibly advanced earth manipulation technique despite it being of the magnetism affinity.
Weakness: This technique highly limits the abilities of the Raika shin'i in the air and restricts the user's ability to cast and manipulate the trajectory of their air-born lightning techniques. It is also rather mentally taxing and eventually gains a rather monumental chakra cost.
====================
Name of Technique: Jiki kyōmei(磁気共鳴 'Magnetic resonance').
Type of Jutsu: Kekkei ninjutsu.
Rank: C-A.
Range: Within a magnetic field.
Nature Type: Denjiton.
Handseals: 2-4-6.
Description: Its handseals dependent on rank, Jiki kyōmei is a technique that allows the user to send Denjiton chakra into a material and allow the material to propagate the magnetism, though not the chakra that catalyzed the process. This technique also allows the user to generate a magnetic field around objects which have developed the A rank manifestation of this technique. An A rank magnetic field projected by a highly magnetic or conductive substance can reach a cylindrical radius of 8 meters.
Weakness: The less chakra used in the creation of the magnetic field, the less potent the resulting field. The technique must also start within a mangetic field.
====================
Name of Technique: Ijū no tsūshin(移住の通信 'Signals of Transmigration').
Type of Jutsu: Supplementary ninjutsu/Forbidden Technique(?).
Rank: C-S.
Range: 100 mile radius or within magnetic field.
Nature Type: Denjiton and/or Lightning.
Handseals: Variable.
Description: Potentially a forbidden technique when utilized at its strongest, Ijū no tsūshin is a technique devised by the Kanagata clan, but released to the public. It is one of few that is actually useable by anyone, rather than just by one of the two most masterful lightning clans. A largely variable technique in regards to application, Ijū no tsūshin is executed utilizing handseals only when the user's skill is exceptionally low. The amount of handseals varies depending on user skill, complexity of the technique's application, and distance. Cutting to the point, Ijū no tsūshin allows the user to transmit subtle electrical signals via chakra. One of the primary uses of Ijū no tsūshin is in the vein of nigh telepathic communication by sending electrical signals from one individual to the other. This application is B rank at least as it requires incredible mental focus and chakra control so as not to accidentally use too much electricity and thus damage the brain. While most users of Ijū no tsūshin are only capable of communicating rudimentary orders over only twenty or so meters, those capable of utilizing the technique at A rank are able to transmit signals over 10s of miles of distance. The further away the individual, the less complex the signals must be with few exceptions.
The last, and forbidden, use of this technique is effectively mind control, which is considered a technique only in the grasp of a select few, most of which are members of the Kanagata clan. This mind control is utilized via the user transmitting a set of continuous electrical signals of extreme complexity, thus allowing them to effectively fire nerves strategically, and even highjack an individual's brain and use it to further transmit signals once highjacked. This application is considered S rank and is typically used only as an interrogation technique, having been forbidden in all other scenarios.
Weakness: While not limited in its range or the complexity of the “commands,” or the detail of its communicative abilities, and certainly not possessing a high chakra cost barring its S rank use, Ijū no tsūshin is not an easy technique to maintain. While its chakra cost is not great, every use takes a sliver, and continuous use, even for most masters, threatens to cause the user to become less and less aware of the amount of chakra going into the process. Additionally, due to the sheer complexity of translating “words,” and concepts directly to the brain of another individual via electrical signals, even for the sake of mere communication, this technique takes a level of focus for all, but the most masterful users that makes it largely useless in combat as it would only allow most individuals to give very simple commands, if that. Lastly, when using the S rank form of this technique, a given user is typically incapable of manipulating more than one individual at a time and almost always must remain entirely immobile while doing so. When controlling another person their own senses and awareness of their surroundings are lowered considerably making them more vulnerable to both genjutsu and surprise attacks.
It should be noted that in addition to the aforementioned weaknesses, this technique can be disrupted in several other notable ways as it only works properly when conducting through air. As such, the signals carried by the electricity will be distorted too greatly to be used if they must travel through three meters of dense material or any liquid. Should an individual be cloaked in lightning chakra or have it running through their body the technique will be unable to take over their body, or will be drowned out by the stronger electrical currents. Lastly, individuals with exceptional chakra control can treat even the S ranked technique much like a genjutsu and fluctuate their chakra continuously to disrupt the jutsu's control long enough to reassert their own.
====================
Name of Technique: Chikyūshō(地球照 'Earthshine').
Type of Jutsu: Kekkei ninjutsu.
Rank: D-C.
Range: Within a magnetic field.
Nature Type: Denjiton and lightning.
Handseals: 4.
Description: A rather simple technique he creates a tiny spark within the magnetic field and allows the magnetism to focus and conduct it causing it to flare out in a blinding expansion of lightning. The jutsu doesn't do much damage and can't even stun for 5 seconds but does have a highly blinding effect even to individuals with dojutsu as the rapid expansion of chakra confuses the chakra sensing capabilities that they likely possess.
Weakness: Doesn't cause any damage whatsoever.
====================
Name of Technique: Shinsei no naizai-ka(神性の内在化 'Internalization of divinity').
Type of Jutsu: Kekkei kinjutsu.
Rank: S+
Range: Personal.
Nature Type: Denjiton and lightning.
Handseals: 22.
Description: Through mastery of the her aural magnetic field and its interaction with her chakra system Kiyome is capable of pulling this field into her own body. The results of this action are drastic and should anyone else attempt it without years of training, they are more likely to cause themselves brain trauma, paralysis, or outright death. While inheritor's of the Raijin no junshū already possess highly conductive and magnetic bodies as is apparent in Ishoku Goukin, this technique makes utterly transcends former levels causing them to become a super conductor in addition to a magnetic generator. While the effect is not truly permanent, it is possible to maintain for any length of time as it does not rely on chakra to power it and is merely a shift of the magnetic field's focus.
Likely the most notable effect of this technique is how it influences the body, mind, and chakra of the user, amplifying all three respectiely to greatly heightened levels. However, the user's chakra is particularly effected by this aural interalization, causing it to become hyper-potent to the extent that when even minute amounts are externalized mere contact with a single thread of the user's Denjiton chakra can immediately magnetize something, or wrest control of any and all lightning or electricity based techniques. Additionally, due to Kiyome's complete mastery of the Raika shin'i, her chakra control becomes effectively perfect as long as this technique is activated.
As to the physical amplification caused by Shinsei no naizai-ka, the user's reaction speed, senses, and physical movement are amplified greatly on both micro and macro levels. As such, Kiyome is capable of accelerating, decelerating, and maintaining tremendous speeds without damage to herself as part of her movements are manipulated by the magnetic energies in her body effectively allowing her to slingshot herself or anchor herself in mere moments in addition to making extremely fine-tuned movements.
Beyond her physical augmentations are those of her mind, which start with increased processing speed and power and continue on to increased perceptual acuity and attention to detail on any level. While active her mental capabilities are highly attuned, making her hyper aware of her body's status and in near complete control of its actions in all areas, though she can choose to merely leave her internal workings on autopilot. Lastly, all of her thought processes are streamlined making it much more difficult for things to confuse her as she can multitask to greatly increased levels.
Weakness: Due to the sheer density of denjiton and raiton chakra, the user is incapable of utilizing any other affinity while the technique remains in effect. Additionally despite effectively amplifying all of the user's capabilities, this technique must be deactivated it least once every 11 hours for 2 hours worth of time. If the user fails to meet this requirement their mental, chakratic, and physical health will begin to rapidly decline due to the immense amounts of stress this technique causes by effectively supercharging the user. Additionally, this technique can be disrupted by A or S rank fire affinity jutsu engulfing the user. Granted, in most scenarios this would kill them.

Mayonaka, Seisui – The Tranquil Lotus
Name: Mayonaka(Midnight), Seisui(Elegance).
Nickname/Alias: The Tranquil Lotus.
Gender: Male.
Age: 37.
Age Appearance: 32.
Sexuality: Heterosexual.
Village: N/A.
Birthplace: Land of Iron.
Organization:
Clan/Style: Mayonaka/Shizukana-ryū-ji no.
Rank: Dai-Samurai.
Chakra Nature: N/A.
Additional Appearance Details:
On both his right and left forearms beneath his garb are bracers.
Personality: "At our core we are human beings, our purpose is that of the conduit through which flows the power to give tranquility to any who oppose us, whether they believe it to be such or not. I am a conduit just as you are, a human conduit, through which the tranquility can flow; I walk a path of serenity and peace despite the damage I appear to deal on the surface. For, it is not physical beauty I wish to bestow, but rather the beauty of wholeness of self, inner peace, which I wish to give unto all who strike at me in adversity or challenge. I wish to give my opponent what they cannot with honor give themselves: Death," - Mayonaka, Kōtaku.
Like his great grandfather Kōtaku, Seisui is resolute of his purpose, his sense of self, and knows what he must do, always. However, in the scope of wisdom he is yet lacking to his ancestor and still has much to learn by comparison. Seisui is a calm existence, filled with understanding and empathy for those around him. He strives to understand himself, others, and the world in order to reach the purest state of his existence. While this is indeed the perpetual wish of practitioners of the Shizukana-ryū-ji no it is still indeed a strong aspiration to which he reaches. Yet while resolute in this he is nowhere near perfect, in fact Seisui has many flaws, as all men and woman do. While he does not have the shortest of tempers he is known to react badly to what he perceives as 'insults to swordsmanship and the blade'. He is unforgiving when truly slighted and rather disgusted by those of hypocritical nature. When faced with a foe he know he cannot best, Seisui will not bow his head, and he will not run, but he will instead push himself to the furthest edges of his ability and hope for a miracle.
He is a spiritual man, understanding the flows of yin and yang energy, and the essence that forms all things. As a practitioner of the Shizukana-ryū-ji no he has instilled in himself the dogmas by which those who wield its serene glory live.

Organization:
Clan/Style: Mayonaka/Shizukana-ryū-ji no.
A long time has passed since the origins of this clan were lost, no longer do any of the outside world know where the Mayonaka spawned and how the now ancient style was forged into improving perfection. The outsiders do not know, but then they are not meant to, as a clan's history is its own. The Mayonaka clan, founded somewhere in what is now the land of iron, were far from notable before their style's creation. Their 1st master was a simple man, a hunter, living off the land and assisting the people in the few ways he could. Many years passed for him and he gradually grew in his wisdom until one day he was visited by a man. A strange man with a look of majesty, power, and wisdom in his many lively orbs, visited him for a time, asking for simple shelter for a time. Providing it, the foremost master of the yet to be created style gave the man all he needed, as he appeared to be recovering from some strange ailment. The man was weak of body at that time, but the two began to grow close, learning from each other, and the Mayonaka found himself overtaken with the smallest fragments of kinship with the man.
A short time turned to weeks, and weeks turned to months and the man began to speak of things which the Mayonaka could barely understand. He was isolated from the world, knowing little of the arts being created and the politics or intricacies of things. Even as he worked the forge, he found something changing in himself, yet unsure as to what, and when he asked the man there was no reply, just a solemn look. The next day, the man had vanished, no traces left of his presence. This bothered the Mayonaka greatly and eventually he decided it was time to leave his home, he could no longer isolate himself, he was no longer satisfied by the simple wilderness, something in him longed for what he knew not. So he saved his money and then used it to acquire a weapon for while he was no true warrior he was a skilled hunter and he knew that wielding a blade, even of lesser quality, would be useful.
He carried on, traveling slow and learning as much as he could bout his surroundings, the world he had been apart from for so long. It took two years before he saw exactly what he had been looking for, the spark that awakened a new passion in him: He witnessed the dual of two swordsman.
- - - - -
He traveled again, now returning home, changed, knowing what he had to do. So, while he returned he challenged many, defeated by some and winning against others, until his name was known well. So, he changed it for his face was not yet known. He became No-hassan Mayonaka(Emanation of Midnight), a growing legend among swordsman, and then he arrived home. His blade, of lesser quality still, no longer served him, he could not wield it, but he had learned more in his trade of blacksmithing. With money from his fallen adversaries he acquired the best of metals, specific mixtures, and from there he began to work. It was hard, for challenges often braved the long path to reach him in hope of besting the rising legend in combat.
None did.
It took months, and on the last month he was nearly defeated. However, strangely, his opponent decided to forestall their match midway, saying that his opponent could not possibly be serious. The look in the challenger's eyes seemed somehow familiar for they were knowing, wise, and filled with majesty.
That day his blade had come to fruition, and it was the last day it had needed to cool and to harden into perfection. There was time still, two more days to pass before their match was to resume. No-hassan however decided he would no adjust to his blade, no, he would not even touch it.
- - - - -
A trusted friend carrying his blade wrapped in cloth to their field of battle, No-hassan's challenger awaited them, ready, but relaxed. Bowing he finally took the blade and its sheath readying it on his belt and bowing to his opponent. "You are a man of honor, and this day I can assure you that by the end, you will witness my best," something awoke in No-hassan Mayonaka that day, something calm, peaceful: Tranquility.
His hand had been placed against the tsuka of his katana, and his stance shifted. The challenger drew his blade and approached him cautiously, ready to strike at any opening, but No-hassan had none. There was not a single true opening, but to the challenger their appeared many, it appeared as if the Mayonaka had laid himself bare to the world, ready to be felled in any moment. A deep breath, blade striking out in a diagonal slash, his foot slid back gently against the soil, and his body swiveled to the right, towards the blow, and his blade slid from its sheath and there was no clash, only a brilliance of movement and light on the blade as one met the other, and the lesser creation submitted completely to the will of Midnight.
There was not even a single sound for the witnesses to perceive, only the brilliance, and then the soft sound of the lesser katana falling to the ground and the challenger's backwards stumbles. "Know its name, the name of the blade which cuts down this man, Chinmoku: E assuru hontō no jiko(沉黙：へ圧する本当の自己'Silence: Overwhelm the truest self')," the first blade of Mayonaka, the first wielder of the Shizukana-ryū-ji no. So, his challenger fell, a sensation of weightless bliss coming over him in his last moments, spent falling to the ground for the brilliant silence had pierced him, and he understood.
- - - - -
None remember this story now, none but the clan itself, for its story is passed down in the metal of their blade, who shall forever bare in its name: Chinmoku, for the silence and peace of their ancestor, the man who defeated the man with majesty in his eyes: Miyamoto Musashi. This, is their legacy, the legacy of the Shizukana-ryū-ji no.
Yet while here ends the story of the first, it is by no means the end of the story as 12 descendants passed, each with blade renewed until finally it came to be that Chinmoku was a blade such as to effect its wielder. This could not be, they would not allow the blade to dominate them, there had to be a mediator between, and so the 13th descendent of No-hassan spent most of her life gathering supplies, the materials needed and the knowledge necessary for her lofty task. Tanoshī(pleasant), the 13th descendant of No-hassan, after 15 years gathered that which she needed, and her task truly begun. For the rest of her life she crafted, carried, and meditated with her creation, attuning first herself with the artifact, and then attuning it with the blade. Finally, on her deathbed she asked to hold the two together and with the last of her strength she united the two, sheathing Chinmoku within its new counter part: The Tōrenai-men to naikō(通れない面と乃公 'Ego with an impassable mask'), a magnificent sheath, her life work. Then she collapsed into the peacefulness and serenity of death, her end as pleasant as her beginnings.
A short time turned to weeks, and weeks turned to months and the man began to speak of things which the Mayonaka could barely understand.

This could not be, they would not allow the blade to dominate them, there had to be a mediator between, and so the 13th descendent of No-hassan spent most of her life gathering supplies, the materials needed and the knowledge necessary for her lofty task. Tanoshī(pleasant), the 13th descendant of No-hassan, after 15 years gathered that which she needed, and her task truly begun. For the rest of her life she crafted, carried, and meditated with her creation, attuning first herself with the artifact, and then attuning it with the blade. Finally, on her deathbed she asked to hold the two together and with the last of her strength she united the two, sheathing Chinmoku within its new counter part: The Tōrenai-men to naikō(通れない面と乃公 'Ego with an impassable mask'), a magnificent sheath, her life work. Then she collapsed into the peacefulness and serenity of death, her end as pleasant as her beginnings.

Additional Appearance Details:
On both his right and left forearms beneath his garb are bracers.
Personality: "At our core we are human beings, our purpose is that of the conduit through which flows the power to give tranquility to any who oppose us, whether they believe it to be such or not. I am a conduit just as you are, a human conduit, through which the tranquility can flow; I walk a path of serenity and peace despite the damage I appear to deal on the surface. For, it is not physical beauty I wish to bestow, but rather the beauty of wholeness of self, inner peace, which I wish to give unto all who strike at me in adversity or challenge. I wish to give my opponent what they cannot with honor give themselves: Death," - Mayonaka, Kōtaku.
Like his great grandfather Kōtaku, Seisui is resolute of his purpose, his sense of self, and knows what he must do, always. However, in the scope of wisdom he is yet lacking to his ancestor and still has much to learn by comparison. Seisui is a calm existence, filled with understanding and empathy for those around him. He strives to understand himself, others, and the world in order to reach the purest state of his existence. While this is indeed the perpetual wish of practitioners of the Shizukana-ryū-ji no it is still indeed a strong aspiration to which he reaches. Yet while resolute in this he is nowhere near perfect, in fact Seisui has many flaws, as all men and woman do. While he does not have the shortest of tempers he is known to react badly to what he perceives as 'insults to swordsmanship and the blade'. He is unforgiving when truly slighted and rather disgusted by those of hypocritical nature. When faced with a foe he know he cannot best, Seisui will not bow his head, and he will not run, but he will instead push himself to the furthest edges of his ability and hope for a miracle.
He is a spiritual man, understanding the flows of yin and yang energy, and the essence that forms all things. As a practitioner of the Shizukana-ryū-ji no he has instilled in himself the dogmas by which those who wield its serene glory live.

Description:
A blade whose essence has been passed down through the Mayonaka family since its beginning, Chinmoku changes with each of its wielders' passing. The blade, due to how many times it has been altered and had chakra poured into its magnificent form has become nigh unbreakable and gained an edge so sharp that in the right hands it could easily sheer through even the strongest of substances. Due to the nature of Chinmoku and the fact that with each passing generation it is reforged and renamed, something unique has come of its existence making it much more than just an ancestral blade. With each passing wielder it is melted down and taken apart only to be created once more to better suit the inheritor. Its name is than chosen via the use of the wielder's closest relatives, for while the user names the blade themselves and to express its new form and how it will be used, it must still reflect several of its more recent wielders to remember its place in the world. Beyond these facts there is still a very unique aspect that many never truly realize is present in Chinmoku, for only with in depth meditation and reflection with the blade can one realize that within the blade is something similar to a soul or consciousness of some form. In fact, from the very beginning, Chinmoku has imprinted the skills and wisdom of its wielder into itself, acting as an ancient record of all those who have wielded it in earnest. These skills and this wisdom can be accessed through meditation and trained into a form that can become reliable in combat, but in no way are they easy to obtain. After all, the blade has a consciousness, and to truly unlock its secrets Chinmoku's sheath must be taken off the wielder's person so that there is no filter between the blade and the wielder's consciousnesses. It becomes a tug of war, a power struggle to see whom shall truly influence whom. Once the blade has however lost this struggle and its wisdom and imprinted skill has been unlocked, the user can once again don Tōrenai-men to naikō and still access the bounty of experience imprinted within Chinmoku.
To expand, one ought to understand the nature of Chinmoku's sheath, Tōrenai-men to naikō, for without this sheath chinmoku would become an unwieldable monster, or rather it would be foolhardy to wield it if one did not want to go insane. In essence, the Tōrenai-men to naikō was created to filter the influence of Chinmoku's soul on its wielder. When Chinmoku is sheathed its influence is entirely filtered, and even if drawn it is not able to subjugate or totally influence its wielder as long as the Tōrenai-men to naikō is on their person. It is only when the blade is wielded and sheath discarded that its influence becomes dangerous to the mind of the wielder. Otherwise it has been seen that the sheath is just as resistant to damage as Chinmoku itself, the actual reasons behind this are unknown, but it is thought that the sheath was made to be even more impervious than Chinmoku so that it would not be destroyed, damaged, or influenced by the blade which it is meant to limit. Last of all, it has been seen that the Tōrenai-men to naikō has an incredibly calming effect on any whom it touches, entering them almost into a state of pure all consuming serenity. This effect can be felt even through clothing and indirectly through a weapon or armor, though its effects would be noticeably dulled. It is said that, in essence, Chinmoku and Tōrenai-men to naikō are the yin and yang to one another, for while Chinmoku is used for physical damage and destruction --embodying the yang-- Tōrenai-men to naikō is used to bring peace and serenity by way of sheathing the blade and keeping it from destroying --thus embodying the yin. So it has been seen that one cannot be used without the other, plain and simple.

Master Swordsman
Style:
Name of Style:
Shizukana-ryū-ji no(Style of the tranquil path).
Clan:
Mayonaka.
Description:
"To the eyes of a swordsman it is a strange aloof thing, beautiful in its strangeness; to a peasant it is a strange peace embodied by the swordsman's form, blade and sheath and mortality alike; but to the truest of swordmasters, one who understands that there is always more to learn, it is a masterpiece constantly renewing itself to perfection. This is the Shizukana-ryū-ji no, the style of the tranquil path," - Mayonaka, Yōi-tsūka.
Just as his grandmother told him so many years ago, the style of the Mayonaka clan is indeed a constantly renewing masterpiece. For while many a style does not change once one has considered it perfected, this style is not as such. With every passing generation is is altered slightly to reach further into the concept of perfection that the user of that generation holds in their core.
There are two codes which practitioners of the Shizukana-ryū-ji no live, the first set of codes are those of the Mayonaka family, while the second are the dogma of the Shizukana-ryū-ji no itself. While those from outside can attempt to learn the Lotus dogma and become practitioners of the Style of the Tranquil Path, it is unlikely that they would ever truly be full practitioners of masters as they lack the background of the Mayonaka.

The Lotus Dogma
The four petals of the lotus flower, a flower which sits upon the surface of the water and spreads its arms in the four directions, represent the four core ways that the blade is drawn and wielded in the Shizukana-ryū-ji no. These four methods of unsheathing and positioning the blade are considered part of the No geijutsu nodjiita ken(の芸術野地板剣 'Art of Sheathing a Sword'). These forms are each named after one of the four cardinal directions each of which have their own purpose in the scope of the style, without one form the others would simply not be in balance, that is the way of tranquility.
Kita-muki Renge-hen(北向き蓮花片 'North Facing Lotus Petal') draws the blade with its edge facing forwards and its tip pointing upwards, the sheath comes off by pulling it up along the blade rather than drawing the blade from the sheath. This is considered one of the most bizarre of the No geijutsu nodjiita ken, but is nonetheless necessary. Typically the user will place the sheath upon their shoulder with the edge of their blade pointing away from their body even while within the sheath. One of the few dogmas that has the user fully draw the blade almost at all times, the Kita-muki Renge-hen is used for frontal attack. Once the blade is drawn, the sheath tends to move to the shoulder opposite where the blade was originally drawn from. The blade itself is then held with the dominant hand with the blade vertical, tip pointing up, edge facing away and forwards. The pinky is used to stabilize it, while the rest of the hand grasps it, the arm in a diagonally downwards position. This dogma is actually used to create openings by sliding the attacks down the blade, and then utilizing the sheath to strike the attacks away from the blade as it flows right into position to strike the opening. It tends to throw the attacker off balance while allowing the wielder to flow from defense into attack almost effortlessly.
Azuma-muki Renge-hen(東向き蓮花片 'East Facing Lotus Petal') begins with one of the wielder's shoulders facing towards their enemy as they stand sideways. The left palm cradles the sheath, the blade's point aimed forwards towards the enemy or target and the sheathed edge facing away from the user's side, to the right. The fingers of the left hand are pointed towards the hilt as the hand cradles the sheath while its kin on the right hand easily grasp the grip of the blade. With this the stance is set and the user may use the variable movements of the sheathed tip with precision to disrupt the flow of attacks and then sway the blade to the other side of the body, exposing the other shoulder and hiding the prior thus allowing the blade to be drawn, its edge still facing right, to strike. This No geijutsu nodjiita ken is utilized to disrupt and then simultaneously block and strike the following counter if necessary. It is an intriguing and certainly unique form of the style.
Minami-muki Renge-hen(南向き蓮花片 'South Facing Lotus Petal') is likely the most bizarre forms of the Shizukana-ryū-ji no as it is not used in true conflict, or at least that is not its primary purpose. Rather than conflict the form is used to disarm an armed opponent, even if this opponent's weapon is their body, their jutsu, or their mind. Standing with feet apart and the point of the blade facing to either side, blade horizontal and sheathed edge pointing towards the wielder, this style begins. Beside the blade itself, as the sheath is seldom used in this form, a guard on the forearm is typically applied so as to shield from the wielder's blade as it is held in reverse grip with the edge facing towards the arm rather than away. Another of this form's defining characteristics is that most of its attacks are delivered backwards and are piercing or pincer oriented. Beyond this there is only one other truly unique thing to be said regarding the Minami-muki Renge-hen, and that is that it is the only form (excluding the Shinzui no Hasu) of the Shizukana-ryū-ji no that can tap into the yin and yang of both the wielder and their opponent intentionally. It does this by using the blade as a conduit, which is how they manage to seal off certain capabilities, or even tenketsu if one is skilled enough. In this way it differentiates itself from the other No geijutsu no nodjiita ken.
Nishi ni menshi Renge-hen(西に面した蓮花片 'West Facing Lotus Petal') first cradles the sheathed blade with the left arm, letting most of the sheath rest against the crook of the elbow. Within the sheath the edge will face away from the user's body, conversely it can face towards the user's body if they happen to wield the blade better with their left arm rather than their right. Given that they are right handed though, they will rest their left hand, fingers outstretched, along the sheath near where the blade's hilt is located. The blade is drawn by simultaneously pulling the sheath back with the left arm and drawing the blade with the right hand. The only explicit rule of this dogma is that the edge must always face towards the user's left side, meaning if it is drawn from the right side, its edge must be pointing towards the left. Many applications of this style do not actually fully draw the blade. Rather the sheath and hilt are used to block and trap the weapons or attacks of the enemy, flick them away and then quick draw when openings are present. Additionally, with a hand on the sheath and a hand on the katana, the blade can be sheathed and drawn at increased speeds allowing a limb to be more easily cut off by forcing the blade through it by manipulating the it via the sheath's movement and positioning.
Shinzui no Hasu(真髄の蓮 'Core of the Lotus') is both the initial and final style of the Shizukana-ryū-ji no as it is used first without its definitive stances to test the opponent(s), and then later as a last resort to be the core of the lotus dogma and bring together the other four petals into a cohesive whole, a unifying central point. In its essence it is simple yet complex as it unites the four forms into a wonderful state referred to as Mabayui mankai which simply allows the user to do something that'd be otherwise essentially impossible, utilize all the forms with little to no hesitation as one flows through them and with no possibility of harming oneself. Lastly it does one thing that no other form of the Shizukana-ryū-ji no, it discards the sheath.

Type of Jutsu: Ninkenjutsu.
Rank: A.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: N/A.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: Useing the same principle as the samurai sabre technique, Mayonaka clansman who master the Shizukana-ryū-ji no are taught to utilize this technique. Through pushing chakra into their blade, the user will create what appears to be an almost a cylindrical formation of chakra, making their blade omnidirectional and also non-existent. It shields the wielder from the blade's edge, and simultaneously makes it deadly from all angles. Not only this, but it acts as an imprint of the Tōrenai-men to naikō for a short period of time, thus allowing them to better handle the influence of Chinmoku's unrestrained power.
Weakness: While it acts as an imprint of the Tōrenai-men to naikō it cannot do so indefinitely and will only last for around 8 minutes max, though currently Seisui can only hold its imprinted effects for around 5. Such is the limitation of the technique.

Type of Jutsu: Ninkenjutsu.
Rank: C.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: N/A.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: Once Mabayui mankai is active, the user is capable of utilizing this technique. Designed to allow the user to utilize the movements of the Nishi ni menshi Renge-hen stance, Menimienai jokyo adds an additional layer of chakra just over the surface of the Mabayui mankai, allowing the user to grip and remove it at high speed. This additional layer looks no different from those below it and thus cannot be seen with normal vision, though doujutsu like the byakugan would be able to tell the difference. This technique essentially facilitates of the Iaido like techniques of the aforementioned stance, which would otherwise be impossible without the use of the practitioner's sheath.
Weakness: This technique can only be utilized when Mabayui mankai is active and the user has initiated the complete Shinzui no hasu stance. The additonal layer of chakra takes only a fraction of a second to create and requires an utterly miniscule amount of chakra however, every second counts in combat so the user must time its use well lest their opponent(s) gain the upper hand.

Type of Jutsu: Ninkenjutsu.
Rank: B.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: N/A.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: This technique is achieved through the utilization of chakra flow through constructs and/or objects, whose currents and polarities oppose one another. This causes the two objects/constructs to be pushed away from one another at high speed. Practitioners of the Shizukana-ryū-ji no utilize this technique on their sheath and sword whether it is physical or not, allowing them to preform terrifyingly fast quick draws, which carry enough momentum to shear through flesh and bone easily, and enough to cut rock. Metal can become dented or cracked if it is not reinforced sufficiently when this attack hits it. This technique is typically used during the state of the completed Shinzui no hasu after Menimienai jokyo has been activated.
Weakness: Dodge or block it. Additionally, the chakra build up can be noted by adept users of the chakra sensing technique, and those who possess doujutsu.

The additonal layer of chakra takes only a fraction of a second to create and requires an utterly miniscule amount of chakra however, every second counts in combat so the user must time its use well lest their opponent(s) gain the upper hand.
====================
Name of Technique: Menimienai shunji(目に見えない瞬时 'Unseen flash').
Type of Jutsu: Ninkenjutsu.
Rank: B.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: N/A.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: This technique is achieved through the utilization of chakra flow through constructs and/or objects, whose currents and polarities oppose one another. This causes the two objects/constructs to be pushed away from one another at high speed. Practitioners of the Shizukana-ryū-ji no utilize this technique on their sheath and sword whether it is physical or not, allowing them to preform terrifyingly fast quick draws, which carry enough momentum to shear through flesh and bone easily, and enough to cut rock. Metal can become dented or cracked if it is not reinforced sufficiently when this attack hits it. This technique is typically used during the state of the completed Shinzui no hasu after Menimienai jokyo has been activated.
Weakness: Dodge or block it. Additionally, the chakra build up can be noted by adept users of the chakra sensing technique, and those who possess doujutsu.

【Personality】
Chiyoko is a peculiar individual only accented by the fact she travels the world with/on a sheep. Chiyoko consistently can be found with a far off look to her face, despite her complete awareness of what is around her. She is, to the frustration of many, the type of person to answer a question with another question, or answer in a manner that isn't clear.
Hitsujiki is a sheep and is a steadfast companion to Chiyoko. Loyal, sturdy, and occasionally a bit petulant, he provides much of Chiyoko's grounding to reality.
【History】
Chiyoko's history is as much her people's as it is hers. Chiyoko grew up the island of the Moon Country with a small, yet stable clan of spiritualists. Noted for their strong connection to the afterlife, her people continue to be extremely religious. Her clan possesses an extremely powerful Kekkei Genkai that allows them to serve as a gateway between the Pure Land and the real world. Because of this, spirits that refuse to move to Purgatory or the Pure Land often gravitate around her, as they are capable of seeing and communicating with these spirits (hitodama). As such, children of Chiyoko's clan often end up with guidance from relatives thousands of years deceased.
Chiyoko was born as Kitti Ping-Sung. As a child she had an affinity for the manipulation of the water element and spent much of her time in the rivers around her village. It was noted by many that Chiyoko's gateway to the Pure Land was one of the strongest in the clan in recent memory, rivaled only by her cousin, who seemed to have an equally strong connection. As such, Chiyoko drew the attention of the Council of Nine as a potential for the next NEED NAME. The Council of Nine was the original nine member of Chiyoko's clan. At the time of their passing, they bound their spirits into nine blades and enshrined themselves in a temple. Communicating with the Council of Nine was difficult for most people in Chiyoko's clan, as the ability to call forth all nine at once was considered exceptionally difficult, and, given the nature of what was being done, extremely confusing.
Chiyoko's skills were fostered at an early age, receiving direct training from various individuals of the Council of Nine, along with her cousin. They learned much about their clan's extremely ancient history and the extent of what they were capable. Both children demonstrated exactly what the Council of Nine had expected.
At the age of 17, both Chiyoko and her cousin were to undergo the Trials, a first step in choosing the next NEED NAME. It also served as a right of passage into adulthood, despite the significant dangers of the ritual. As with all of the Trials before, Chiyoko and her cousin were separated from their bodies forcibly, their spirits going into the Pure Land.

Soria of the Forest
Tetsukuzu
Name: Soria Senju-Tetsukuzu.
Nickname/Alias: Soria of the Forest.
Gender: Male.
Age: 32.
Age Appearance: Late twenties-early thirties.
Sexuality: Heterosexual.
Village: Kyokujitsugakure.
Birthplace: Land of the Rising Sun - Forest of Death.
Organization: N/A.
Clan/Kekkei Genkai: Senju-Tetsukuzu/Mokuton – Shizen no megumare-noroi
Rank: S ranked shinobi.
Position: Advisor to the Sankage and Senju clan Head.
Chakra Nature: Yang, Natural, and Mokuton[Augmented]. Soria is incapable of using Water and Earth individually/directly.
Other Appearance Details:Soria's eyes are a light soft almost navy green, likened to gray somewhat often, and described as serene and expressive. He stands at the height of 5'10 with a fairly lean muscular build and a toned weight suitable to one fit for his height.
Personality: By the guiding hands of nature and fate's subtle chorus he has come to be as he is now, a man of understanding, calm, and rationale. Unswayed by the seductions of darker forces Soria has, for the moment, decided to tread quite purely through the path of light. With a kindness gilding his heart and a serenity dwelling in his emerald eyes he moves through life, assisting those who might need it, and trudging through the obstacles presented him by nature's hand. In essence he is much like his element of habit. Roots strong enough to pierce and weed their way through stone, conquering all opposition; branches ambitious enough to reach into the sky and grasp at all in their breadth; and leaves expansive enough to shade his loved ones, those whom he cares deeply and would die for. Yet, there is one aspect to his nature that is rather disharmonic to the rest, and this is the seed of anger and hatred bottled deep in his core. With so many of his dearest friends and family gone -brothers slaughtered by an unknown foe, father died at the hands of who knows, and mother who met an end from the birth of his little sister- it would be difficult to be unaffected. In this way, deep beneath the surface of his calm is a beast so horrible that it might devour him whole if left unchecked. However, this anger and intense hatred is saved only for those who provoke him or are a true threat to all that he loves, for he is not one easily manipulated, and he is far from naive. So, in the end, it is only time that will reveal the finality of his existence. Time and the sway of nature over his being, and a powerful sway it is.
History:
Soria is an individual who has been tested ever so often in his life with each successive trial being more difficult than the next, and each trumped respectively. Born to a family already with 2 siblings, Soria grew up the baby brother under his elder siblings Kentari and Kishibu. Often made fun of by his brothers for his love of nature, he was the most prominent in adapting as his Kekkei genkai took root at an accelerated rate to his brothers. Being rather diminutive in his size as a youth he did not inspire much but more ridicule as he and his brothers grew and shifted their competitions to more meaningful areas. They began experimenting in the areas of ninjutsu, tutored mostly by their father, except for Soria. Having grown tired and angry at the ridicule he received from his brothers, he would often go to his mother's garden. His dearest mother, Reisei Tetsukuzu, would comfort him, her youngest and dearest child, for many years and teach him her ways and skills, skills that she had not even taught Kishibu, the eldest among them.
His tutelage under Reisei continued even through the months of her 4th pregnancy, the one that would bear her the most precious of her children: Haruka, her only daughter. Feeling incredibly happy at his realization, Soria ran to the garden a few days after, only to be met by his father, Moriyama Senju, with a sad look and words of sympathy. Soria had never seen his daddy so distraught. Yet, even while he was told of the tragedy, of his mother's death, he noticed that neither of his elder siblings were present. Even as tears ran down his cheeks, he could not help but feel the betrayal of their absence. This was the first seed of anger in his heart. Growing ever faster he tended, and still does to this day, the garden of his deceased mother, using the abilities granted him by his heritage and her kind lessons to assure its survival. The days passed and yet still his brothers did not return, even his father had left him now, traveling alone, unable to bear the memories of his dead wife's home. It hurt and the seeds of betrayal sprouted anew, and he further withdrew into himself. His only solace was his garden, and the small child that had been left in his care, for not even her father would watch over the child who had killed his beloved. For a time Soria had thought the same, but, seeing the neediness and loneliness in the baby's tiny eyes he understood he could not let her die.
Years passed and she continued to grow. He could no longer manage her, restrict her, and protect her on his own, or so he felt. He sent out a message, she needed her family, they would have to come back. For the first time, his relatives heeded his call and so came his brothers. His father never arrived and Soria took him for a traitor and a coward. Kentari, the kinder of his elder brothers, began to take a liking to their little sister, playing with her often and teaching her small and harmless jutsu. Afterall she did have the talent.
It was in this time when Soria bid his brothers ado and departed their home, his home, for the first time. The world was in turmoil, war, and chaos. Yet in the horrible symphony of death and destruction he found a light, another garden, and a girl. Her name was Shinsei, and she was a girl who had been given a heinous blessing disguised in the face of a curse, the power over life and death. She was a sad girl and he couldn't help himself, he approached her, and guided her deadly hands with no fear of her power. He helped her tend to the garden, with a smile, and he took a liking to her. A liking that he decided to mention too late. Bandits attacked the compound and he was drawn into the fray. In an attempt to assure Shinsei's safety he threw down a bomb of smoke and quickly pulled himself and the bandits beneath the earth, the strength of his vines far surpassing their own human limits. As the smoke cleared, they were all gone.
- - - - - -
War and pain,
battles and strain,
loss and gain,
again and again.
It all went on, the years that followed were some of his hardest. They were the last years of his brother's lives, and the ending of his tragedies. After a time serving under his father Moriyama, he beseeched the man that he be allowed leave. He had to make sure that his mother's home had gone unharmed. Finally allowed to go he set off, only to arrive far too late. For while he had been gone dealing with the scuffles of clans and village skirmishes, his closest family members had been slaughtered....
The blood of his kin, of both his brothers, soaked the compound and he found their mangled bodies at the edges of the garden. The flowers now bloomed a crimson, dark in its color, and it was in this moment of tears and anger that he heard a voice, Kentari's voice "k-keep her safe b-brother. We...I, she is special." These were his brother's last words, last words that he would never forget. Yet, as he wept before the fire as it spread, burning at the garden he had done so much to protect and nurture, Haruka pulled at his clothes and extricated him from the inferno as he stared blankly into space. Why was he forced to lose so much? As if to ascertain the hopelessness, they were attacked on their travels back to the Senju compound. Mysterious shinobi and their kunoichi counter parts assailed them, evidently targeting Haruka. Soria was done, he would never again lose another of his loved ones and so at the risk of his life and humanity, he exerted the full extent of his control over the forces naturally present in their surroundings...
The result?
Pandemonium.
Exhausted and bloody, he was dragged, Haruka using whatever little strength she could, towards the closest safe haven she could figure. It was a miracle really, what saved them that was, for out of the forest emerged one final kunoichi: Shinsei. The same girl he had gifted those gloves so many years ago, seven to be exact. It filled him with a familiar sensation and a kind of joy, she had survived, and she had grown up to surpass the sadness he had once seen so strongly in her eyes. Not only that, but as the years continued to pass and the two of them grew closer, his dearest sister, Ruka-chan along side him all the while. Finally marrying, Soria soon received word of his father's state, he had departed this mortal coil, he was the successor.
Taking the message in stride, Soria, Shinsei, and Haruka prepared to depart for Kyokujitsugakure. Alas, on their journey in the dead of night, Haruka disappeared. To this day Soria has been unable to find any trace of her whereabouts, much to his disappointment.
The remainder of his family dead or allegedly kidnapped, Soria and Shinsei continued their trekk to Kyokujitsugakure where he reunited with Ayameko, one of many whom he had served alongside during the 15 year Shinobi War. Explaining his situation to his old comrade, sensei, and friend Soria came to reside in her village and eventually become one of her advisors.
To this day he works alongside her, fostering peace and expanding their nation all whilst living with his wife in his personal haven near the edge of the village—not to mention leading what remain of the Senju.

Name of Kekkei Genkai:
Mokuton - Shizen no megumare-noroi (木遁 - 自然の恵まれ-呪い 'Wood release - Nature's blessed-curse')
Clan: Senju/Tetsukuzu.
Description: With the forbidden union of Soria's father, Moriyama Senju, and his blessed mother, Reisei Tetsukuzu, this Kekkei genkai was born. With the blood of the Senju giving its life and synchronicity with the natural world and the Tetsukuzu's nature of understanding and connection with their surroundings a new mutation in the Senju genome occurred birthing forth a unique form of the Mokuton. Rather than simply empower the bodies and merge the water and earth affinities, the Shizen no megumare-noroi causes the inheritor's body and genetics to become excessively malleable. In Soria's case, and formerly in the case of Kishibu his now sadly passed on eldest brother, it causes his mokuton nature to quite literally take root in his body. Due to the prolonged interactions with his affinity and his extensive training, his Mokuton has become less just a chakratic affinity and more a part of his being. He is something of a combination of flora and human DNA at this point, though primarily he IS in fact human. This causes Soria to have a much more attuned sense of his surroundings and actually allows him to use both created and natural vegetation to his greater advantage. While he is certainly no sensory ninja, the flora that share a symbiotic bond with his body have allowed him to better understand the forces which keep both human and plant-life around. This has caused him to have an innate understanding of both water and earth as well as a unique appreciation for the sun and its fiery light.
Thus throughout his life his body has become a unique mixture of flora and human allowing him some rather unique traits. First of all Soria, while unable to do so at a notable speed, is capable of absorbing natural energy through the plant life around him. Secondly Soria is capable of passively regenerating with the tax of his chakra and the amount of useable chakra, both natural and otherwise. In the category of a tertiary ability Soria has gained the capability to modify plant DNA on the fly. However, this tertiary capability has required rigorous training and effort for him to master and fully utilize, and, in particular, it is the ability that makes his brand of Mokuton so unique. After all, he rarely uses the 'tree' based mokuton, rather preferring to utilize the surrounding flora to his advantage. This is, in essence, his kekkei genkai, though there is one final detail to express. Simply that it is a double edged sword as his secondary ability essentially means that with every wound he progressively loses more of his humanity, gradually becoming more and more plant-like. A dark secret indeed, one that he has kept to himself above all else, in fact only his siblings knew of the curse, only his siblings...and 3 of them are dead.

Description: By studying his wife's jutsu, Hakei Saisei, Soria has engineered a technique that allows him to utilize his nature chakra and natural affinity for mokuton and yang to infuse dying organisms with additional life energy. However, while Shinsei's technique can also transfer and take energy, this technique cannot and only allows him to infuse flora with life.

Weakness: Direct or indirect contact must be made with the subject that Soria wishes to effect. This can only be applied via his plants or his physical body.

Handseals: 3.
Description: By utilizing Shurei onjin - Shinzui ten no Utsuri, Soria is capable of infusing notably inanimate entities with what amounts to life. This is a rather taxing technique when used in this fashion however, this is not its only use. Generally, Soria uses this technique to amplify both his own mokuton jutsu and surrounding flora for a unique effect. When applied to surrounding flora it will amplify their growth and evolutionary potential greatly and strengthen the defense and structure of the plant(s). This causes the plants within a 6 yard radius, or subjected to his direct or indirect contact to become at least twice as resistant to normal weaknesses, such as fire (C rank resistance). When applied to his mokuton jutsu it amplifies their resistance even further due to their already augmented form via his unique chakra affinities, thus they become more resistant to B rank and below fire jutsu, though they can still be damaged if the jutsu is potent enough. Additionally they gain a natural resistance to being cut causing even steel blades to have trouble cutting through in a single fell swoop.
Weakness: Limited range. Augmenting surrounding flora is more taxing than augmenting his mokuton jutsu. Chakra cost is dependent on how many jutsu are amplified and the rank of said jutsu, or simply by the sheer amount of plant-life surrounding Soria within a 6 yard radius. Augmenting inanimate entities is twice as difficult and takes intense focus.
====================
Name of Technique: Chō shizen no shinka(超自然の進化 'Supernatural evolution').
Type of Jutsu: Kekkei ninjutsu.
Rank: C.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: Natural; Yang.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: By utilizing already established connections with the plants under his control including ones formed from his jutsu directly, Soria will activate or modify portions of their DNA respectively and alter the plant's evolutionary probabilities. Simultaneously he will cause plants to cross pollinate despite the type of plant and thus cause them to share or take on processes of their neighbors upon dropping seeds. In essence this technique speeds up the growth cycle of the particular plants and allows Soria to also alter and activate dormant strands of DNA to his own purposes.
Weakness: Despite the processes of the plants being much quicker than normal, the technique still takes time to so greatly modify their nature and purpose. Depending on the complexity of the changes to the given organism, this jutsu will take anywhere from 30 seconds to 5 minutes. This techniques takes a constant, but negligible drain on Soria's chakra.

Name of Technique: Shizen niku no dōka(自然肉の同化 'Assimilation of the Natural flesh').
Type of Jutsu: Kekkei ninjutsu.
Rank: A.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: Yang; Natural; Mokuton – Shizen no megumare-noroi
Handseals: 6.
Description: By utilizing his own flesh and unique DNA sequence, Soria propagates his symbiotic cells and either splits them off from his body or further amplifyies their growth speed with yang while regulating their purpose and balance with natural energy and the Mokuton - Shizen no megumare-noroi. This propagation and purposing of cells takes two turns which each chain into their own unique technique. The cells created from this technique are especially vulnerable until entered into their completed forms.
Weakness: Chakra and focus intensive.
====================
Name of Technique: Kyōsei(共生 'Symbiosis').
Type of Jutsu: Kekkei ninjutsu.
Rank: S.
Range: Direct or Indirect contact.
Nature Type: Yang; Natural; Mokuton - Shizen no megumare-noroi.
Handseals: 2.
Description: By utilizing Shizen niku no dōka and keeping the propagating flesh either on himself or implementing it with another individual, he can replace and regrow limbs or body parts entirely. This technique is an extremely advanced healing technique and cannot be used in battle. However, he can utilize the application of this and split a portion of the propagated flesh from his body, using it to track or mark targets as long as the symbiotic cells remain attached.
Weakness: Not useable in battle. Takes time to adapt the cells to other individuals for use in healing. Incredibly chakra intensive. Relies on the use of Shizen nku no dōka. Additionally, direct or indirect contact is required.
====================
Name of Technique: Mori no ko(森の子 'Child of the Forest').
Type of Jutsu: Kekkei ninjutsu.
Rank: S.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: Yang; Natural; Mokuton - Shizen no megumare-noroi.
Handseals: 4.
Description: By first utilizing Shizen niku no dōka, Soria then splits up to two portions of it from his body and purposes the cells with a format almost identical to his own. The cells will propagate and alter their purposes, forming vines of mixed symbiotic cells until they weave together and form up to two clones. This jutsu is unique in that, if coupled with a slight use of Kyōsei to extract cells from another individual, it can create what amounts to an almost exact physical copy of either the user or designated individual. These clones are capable of utilizing all of Soria's jutsu with the exclusion of Shurei onjin - Shinzui ten no Utsuri. The thing that makes these clones so special is they acquire the ability to merge with other flora seamlessly, either to imbue their life force and partial sentience, to hide, or for another purpose, such as traveling between the connections of flora much like Kagerō, though detectable and only with the sacrifice of all other jutsu while in use. Additionally these clones cannot be dispersed, an aspect worked in by Soria's studies of the Moku bunshin no jutsu. Additionally, due to the Mori no ko's strange nature, any damage done to the clone will appear the same as if you had damaged the actual Soria. The only notable difference between Mori no ko and Soria himself is their lack of totally independent sentience and the fact that the chakra system of any given Mori no ko is not nearly as complex as the chakra system of a living being, this is their only derivative and thus they essentially trick all dōjutsu with the sole exclusion of the byakugan. It should be noted that when material from a Mori no ko gets on someone, it can be tracked or tapped into by Soria in much the same was that Kyōsei can be used.
Weakness: The clones are limited to two at any given time, Soria can only create 8 of these, in total, before becoming totally exhausted regardless of his extensive chakra pool and natural energy. While they cannot be dispersed, Mori no ko can be damaged like any other being and can and will become crippled or die from extensive wounds. A single clone takes a whole 20 seconds to fully form and become useable making them especially vulnerable until fully formed.
====================
Name of Technique: Genshi-ko no taihai(原始子の退廃 'Decadence of the Primal Child').
Type of Jutsu: Kekkei ninjutsu.
Rank: S+
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: Yang; Natural; Mokuton - Shizen no megumare-noroi.
Handseals: 10.
Description: Soria's best hidden, most advanced, and darkest jutsu, the Genshi-ko no taihai is a well guarded secret. Created through something of an accident and an attempt to vent the seed of hatred in his core, Soria utilized Shizen niku no dōka and the result was this unnaturally jet-black seed. Beginning to grow at a rate far out of Soria's control, the seed parasitically sapped his chakra almost to the point of death, even robbing him of a few years of his life in the process. Having barely managed to cut the flow of the seed, Soria found that its presence latched on to the secret garden of his laboratory and began to drain the life force of the surrounding flora as well. He quickly suppressed and cut its link once more, but not before it had accumulated an absolutely astonishing amount of chakra that he could not risk extracting without danger to his life and those of the surrounding individuals and nature itself.
Bottom-line, the Genshi-ko no taihai is an extreme parasitic life form of unknown intelligence and filled with the blackness of Soria's hate and anger. To keep it as isolated from its surroundings, Soria has actually designed part of his internal body to house the Genshi-ko no taihai safely. This area of his body cuts off the seed from growth and the rest of Soria's body, becoming the literal seed of hate and anger inside of him. Incidentally, Soria can, at the risk of himself, draw upon the massive chakra within the seed by temporarily allowing it to cannibalize on his negative emotions and degrade his life force at an exceptional rate. The only individual who knows anything regarding the Genshi-ko no taihai is his wife, Shinsei, and it should be noted that should he ever have to use this technique and its corresponding evil for longer than even a minute, he would be consumed and the consequences would be impossible to predict.
Weakness: Listed in the jutsu itself. This allows an extremely limited, 30 yard hemisphere negative emotions sensing ability –the ability can only sense very strong killing intent, hatred, and anger.

Name of Kekkei Genkai:
Mokuton - Shizen no megumare-noroi (木遁 - 自然の恵まれ-呪い 'Wood release - Nature's blessed-curse')
Clan: Senju/Tetsukuzu.
Description: With the forbidden union of Soria's father, Moriyama Senju, and his blessed mother, Reisei Tetsukuzu, this Kekkei genkai was born. With the blood of the Senju giving its life and synchronicity with the natural world and the Tetsukuzu's nature of understanding and connection with their surroundings a new mutation in the Senju genome occurred birthing forth a unique form of the Mokuton. Rather than simply empower the bodies and merge the water and earth affinities, the Shizen no megumare-noroi causes the inheritor's body and genetics to become excessively malleable. In Soria's case, and formerly in the case of Kishibu his now sadly passed on eldest brother, it causes his mokuton nature to quite literally take root in his body. Due to the prolonged interactions with his affinity and his extensive training, his Mokuton has become less just a chakratic affinity and more a part of his being. He is something of a combination of flora and human DNA at this point, though primarily he IS in fact human. This causes Soria to have a much more attuned sense of his surroundings and actually allows him to use both created and natural vegetation to his greater advantage. While he is certainly no sensory ninja, the flora that share a symbiotic bond with his body have allowed him to better understand the forces which keep both human and plant-life around. This has caused him to have an innate understanding of both water and earth as well as a unique appreciation for the sun and its fiery light.
Thus throughout his life his body has become a unique mixture of flora and human allowing him some rather unique traits. First of all Soria, while unable to do so at a notable speed, is capable of absorbing natural energy through the plant life around him. Secondly Soria is capable of passively regenerating with the tax of his chakra and the amount of useable chakra, both natural and otherwise. In the category of a tertiary ability Soria has gained the capability to modify plant DNA on the fly. However, this tertiary capability has required rigorous training and effort for him to master and fully utilize, and, in particular, it is the ability that makes his brand of Mokuton so unique. After all, he rarely uses the 'tree' based mokuton, rather preferring to utilize the surrounding flora to his advantage. This is, in essence, his kekkei genkai, though there is one final detail to express. Simply that it is a double edged sword as his secondary ability essentially means that with every wound he progressively loses more of his humanity, gradually becoming more and more plant-like. A dark secret indeed, one that he has kept to himself above all else, in fact only his siblings knew of the curse, only his siblings...and 3 of them are dead.

Type of Jutsu: Kekkei ninjutsu.
Rank: B
Range: Direct or indirect contact.
Nature Type: Yang; Natural; Mokuton.
Handseals: 3.
Description: By studying his wife's jutsu, Hakei Saisei, Soria has engineered a technique that allows him to utilize his nature chakra and natural affinity for mokuton and yang to infuse dying organisms with additional life energy. However, while Shinsei's technique can also transfer and take energy, this technique cannot and only allows him to infuse flora with life. He can also utilize this technique to infuse elemental ninjutsu with strength, or to infuse naturally occurring elements with it utilizing the Shizen-kai no zōkyō.
Weakness: Direct or indirect contact must be made with the subject that Soria wishes to effect. This can only be applied via his plants or his physical body.

Name: Nobushige Toyotomi
Nickname/Alias: Izanami's Assassin
Gender: Male
Age: 32
Age Appearance: Whatever you want
Sexuality: Straight (And still warm)
Birthplace: Hidden Cloud Village
Rank: A-Ranked Jonin
Position:
Chakra Nature: Earth & Water Release
Additional Appearance Details:
Height: 6'3
Other Notes: Always covered in bandages. Nobushige partly does this due to injuries, and partly to keep what his face looks like a secret.
History: Born during a particularly bloody conflict between the Kanagata and the Akechi clans what would later become the Land of Lightning. The Toyotomi family was a well known merchant family, but eventually became easy targets for robbery by ninja as they were so well known. Nobushige's father, Nobunaga, was always worried about having enough money to get by, and didn't know how to get over the problem. In the end, the family would travel in disguise from place to place. They would play anything from pilgrims to the circus to get through the country undisturbed.
It was still a dangerous lifestyle.
Nobushige as a child was always playing around, and had a strange obsession with history that came from his mother reading to him every night of great events of the age. He said he wanted to do something important, and get into the history books himselves.
The Akechi were disturbed by the sudden disappearance of the Toyotomi merchandise (and funds). They feared they had joined the Kanagata's cause, as many alliances were forming across the land.
As the Toyotomi family crossed the border back from the Land of Fire, the Akechi clan found them. They immediately believed they had been involved in contrabanding messages to the Uchiha clan, and they attacked the 'circus troop'. Nobushige was only 13 when this happened.
As fire burned from the supplies, Nobushige ran crying into the woods. As the sun set, he returned to see what had happened. Many members of the caravan had been killed. He couldn't find his parents anywhere. One of the other merchants took him in, and gave him a home.
Nobushige couldn't let it go though. He remembered the name Akechi, and their clan symbol every day of his life. He began to study ninjutsu. Most ninja learned ninjutsu at childhood, but Nobushige was picking it up as a teenager. He obsessed about the Akechi clan. The merchant who had taken him in, Hideyoshi, was a kind man, but not neccessarily the best role model. He drank, alot. While he wasn't violent, he had constant bad company over while drinking.
Nobushige spent 2 years studying at the house, in ninjutsu, and taboo subjects. History of coups, assassinations, famous upheavels, all things he found important. He travelled north, and became a servant boy... for the Akechi. He worked household chores for the clan. He was noted for his discipline, and ability to do work quickly and efficiently. He became a favorite of the clan head, Mitsuhide. He was in constant competition with another household servant, who looked down on Nobushige for constantly updoing him. Nobushige learned the layout of the entire compound, then after 2 more years, Nobushige struck, killing the great man in his sleep.
Nobushige rose early the next day, and had the servant he had been having a feud with, to get meat from the butcher. The other servant protested, but Nobushige convinced him in the end by paying him to do it so Nobushige wouldn't have to. Screams filled the house as they discovered Mitsuhide's body.
They scrambled to find who would have done it. They found the servant Nobushige had sent out missing, and with blood on him, and blamed him for the act.
Nobushige stayed right where he was, unsuspected of his crimes.
The Kanagata attacked the next week. Before they arrived, Nobushige struck at the heir to the clan, Katsuie. Without any leadership, the clan faultered, and their household burned, and they were erased from history. Nobushige however, offered his services to the Kanagata, then fled as soon as he was accepted.
Nobushige retreated to a nearby town, and spent the next few years focusing on the ninjutsu he had played with as a child. He became good at it, very good. Nobushige was angry still, even after secretly having helped destroy the Akechi clan. He channeled that and his ninjutsu into a new career. He became a notorios assassin for hire under the name 'Izanami's Assassin.' He was known for quickly dispatching his targets without being flashy. He started earning more money than he knew what to do with, and spent it much the same way his uncle did, with bad company, with many women, and with a new hobby he picked up, buying historical artifacts.
Izanami's Assassin would later join the Hidden Cloud Village when it formed. He recognized its power, and was tempted to attack the Raikage, but decided something important was happening. Something historical. He approached the Raikage (uninvited), and offered his service. The act left him with several scars however, as the Raikage did not like to be 'approached', or 'threatened'.
Nobushige continued his work for the Cloud, working ruthlessly to eliminate targets.
He was sent to the neighboring country of the Stone, to pick off as many targets as he could.
He met someone who would change his life there, a woman by the name of Noh Uesugi. She was a beautiful medic nin he met stalking the Stone nin. The only problem was she was a stone nin too. And she was the biggest foe he had ever met. Not because she blew his cover, or that she could fight, but she could heal. Target after target was brought back from the brink of death.
Nobushige picked her as his next target. Taking the place of a Stone nin he had dispatched (and the various pieces of him in the river ensured he wasn't getting healed), he got close to the woman. He got to know his target, to laugh with her, and he began to feel something. He didn't know what, and it frustrated him to no end. He determined to carry it out that night.
He found her alone in the maze of stones that night. He approached her from behind and raised his kunai above her. He saw from the look of fear in her eyes that she was unprepared. He willed himself to stab, but he couldn't do it. It was the first time he'd ever been unable to kill his target due to him not being willing.
Nobushige threw the kunai away, confusing her more, and he blew his own cover. He told her everything, that he was 'Izanami's assassin'. He offered his services to her village, and followed her back to the Stone. The mad kage, though relunctantly, accepted his offer. The Tsuchikage, however, always has tabs on Nobushige when he is in town, and warned him repeatedly what would happen if a stone nin should fall to Izanami.
The Cloud did not take kindly however to losing their assassin, and still have an offer of 12 million Ryo for his head.
Personality: Generally Nobushige is a vice-ridden ass.
Their are only two things Nobushige takes seriously: work and history. He is very arrogant about his abilities, and doesn't play nice with others. He plays everything else like a game, including his own life. The amount of games he plays with others tends to be annoying. It's in part because he figures it's the only way he can enjoy having them around, by messing with them mercilessly mentally. Noh is the one exception, as he is captivated by her beauty, and he treats her like a princess.
For all of Nobushige's vices, his redeeming trait is how dedicated he is. If he truly commits himself to something, hell itself can't stop him from doing it.

The Kanagata attacked the next week. Before they arrived, Nobushige struck at the heir to the clan, Katsuie. Without any leadership, the clan faultered, and their household burned, and they were erased from history. Nobushige however, offered his services to the Kanagata, then fled as soon as he was accepted.
Nobushige retreated to a nearby town, and spent the next few years focusing on the ninjutsu he had played with as a child. He became good at it, very good. Nobushige was angry still, even after secretly having helped destroy the Akechi clan. He channeled that and his ninjutsu into a new career. He became a notorios assassin for hire under the name 'Izanami's Assassin.' He was known for quickly dispatching his targets without being flashy. He started earning more money than he knew what to do with, and spent it much the same way his uncle did, with bad company, with many women, and with a new hobby he picked up, buying historical artifacts.
Izanami's Assassin would later join the Hidden Cloud Village when it formed. He recognized its power, and was tempted to attack the Raikage, but decided something important was happening. Something historical. He approached the Raikage (uninvited), and offered his service. The act left him with several scars however, as the Raikage did not like to be 'approached', or 'threatened'.
Nobushige continued his work for the Cloud, working ruthlessly to eliminate targets.
He was sent to the neighboring country of the Stone, to pick off as many targets as he could.
He met someone who would change his life there, a woman by the name of Noh Uesugi. She was a beautiful medic nin he met stalking the Stone nin. The only problem was she was a stone nin too. And she was the biggest foe he had ever met. Not because she blew his cover, or that she could fight, but she could heal. Target after target was brought back from the brink of death.
Nobushige picked her as his next target. Taking the place of a Stone nin he had dispatched (and the various pieces of him in the river ensured he wasn't getting healed), he got close to the woman. He got to know his target, to laugh with her, and he began to feel something. He didn't know what, and it frustrated him to no end. He determined to carry it out that night.
He found her alone in the maze of stones that night. He approached her from behind and raised his kunai above her. He saw from the look of fear in her eyes that she was unprepared. He willed himself to stab, but he couldn't do it. It was the first time he'd ever been unable to kill his target due to him not being willing.
Nobushige threw the kunai away, confusing her more, and he blew his own cover. He told her everything, that he was 'Izanami's assassin'. He offered his services to her village, and followed her back to the Stone. The mad kage, though relunctantly, accepted his offer. The Tsuchikage, however, always has tabs on Nobushige when he is in town, and warned him repeatedly what would happen if a stone nin should fall to Izanami.
The Cloud did not take kindly however to losing their assassin, and still have an offer of 12 million Ryo for his head.
Personality: Generally Nobushige is a vice-ridden ass.
Their are only two things Nobushige takes seriously: work and history. He is very arrogant about his abilities, and doesn't play nice with others. He plays everything else like a game, including his own life. The amount of games he plays with others tends to be annoying. It's in part because he figures it's the only way he can enjoy having them around, by messing with them mercilessly mentally. Noh is the one exception, as he is captivated by her beauty, and he treats her like a princess.
For all of Nobushige's vices, his redeeming trait is how dedicated he is. If he truly commits himself to something, hell itself can't stop him from doing it.

Name of Weapon or Item:
Takute The Impure(An Impure Wanting; Takute Fujun’na)
“A sword that never really ends, and never ceases to thirst for blood. Corpses will line the path of the swordsmen that wield Takute and they shall walk it readily.”
While it may not hold a shade of blood anywhere within its form, Takute is the very essence of bloodshed. It’s a katana of larger-than-normal size. It had a hilt of white and red shade and a circular guard. The blade, while having been soaked with the blood of man, holds no color of sanguine. It holds the vibrant colors of nature; of the blues and greens of the earth and sea. It is the epitome of craftsmanship. If one were to look closely, they would see chakra itself swirl on the silver tints of the blade. It has a slightly curved edge.
The Sheath that comes with Takute is one that prevents the sword in question from unleashing its terrible might at every given moment. It’s this simply black sheath. Along the sheath, there is an incantation for a seal of placed on it:
“Fujunbutsu o hakki suru ni wa, buredo to tamashi no kyoka ga jitsugen sa renakereba narimasen(To unleash the impurity, a fortification of blade and soul must be realized.)”
This is the only condition that the blade itself requires. It’s user must have a fortified determination. It is only through this can Takute be fully utilized.

This is the only condition that the blade itself requires. It’s user must have a fortified determination. It is only through this can Takute be fully utilized.
Presumed to hold the darkest of man’s nature within it, Takute, according to the legend, hungers and thirsts for blood spilled and cries out to be let loose on all of those who it deems weak. As a manifestation of the hundreds and hundreds of lives slain at the hands of its user, Takute has developed its own living will, only communicating with anyone who touches it. Its thoughts are projected telepathically. Of those who have spoke of Takute’s living will, most cite it being vulgar and often authoritative to its user. Some claimed it had no remorse for those its blade had slain.
However, with Tanko, it seems to be a different variety. Takute, while maintaining the majority of its violent mannerisms and profanity, the sword seems to have a certain amount of respect for Tanko. Though it still wishes to taste the sweet aroma of live blood, Tanko has made it martial law that the only blood that Takute will ever taste would be that of the one(s) responsible for his clan’s genocide. It is because of that very reason that Takute does not fight Tanko on wanting others’ blood. He also has a bit of a complaining streak when it comes to that very subject.

It is because of that very reason that Takute does not fight Tanko on wanting others’ blood. He also has a bit of a complaining streak when it comes to that very subject.
A sword utilized by many over the years, but currently is wielded by the last remaining member of the Kokaganken Clan. This Katana has sowed tales of bloodshed and aggression, told to be the weapon of demons. Tukute The Impure has carved a corpse-filled path under the handling of its many masters, driven by a desire to spill the sanguine essence of innocents. Growing and evolving each time it is passed down from swordsmen to swordsmen.
When all there existed was war, there were groups of men and women that, to present day would be known as the slain Kokaganken Clan, longed for the bloodshed to stop. Those that lived in the plains saw that their homelands tuned into harsh battlefields; all within it holding little regard for life. These groups of men sought to forge a weapon that would allow them to defend themselves and end all war from thereon with it. So, magicians, master blacksmiths, and many shinobi worked to gather the finest ores and metals, bringing them back to the forge. As the tale goes on, the completion of the blade — a sword that carried more than one thousand others — would be the end of all bloodshed. This weapon would be passed down from master to master within the Kokaganken Clan, crushing any who strike against the peace-loving innocents.
However, all would not rest well.
Takute The Impure was forged for peace, but all it had ever known was battle. Bloodletting was in its nature. What else was a sword to do but fight? The residual hate manifested a dark will within the katana, drawing on its users to possess ill will and malefic hate over time. It was, one day, that the forge masters of Takute met and declared that the use of it was forbidden and that the sword should be destroyed; lest it fall into the wrong hands.
This outcry was challenged by the then master of the weapon. Taking it upon himself, the infamous swordsman took Takute and slew all of those that helped forge the blade or heard of its creation. Sewing countless corpses on the ground, at last the very weapon built for peace was transformed into the harbinger of destruction. Lost throughout history and passed down from swordsmen to swordsmen, the Harbinger of Destruction, the ender of men, and the Impure Blade fell into the hands of a young teen(at the time) by the name of Tankoishi of the Kokaganken Clan. When the two met, Tanko was barely fifteen. Takute sensed Tanko’s bloodlust and longing for revenge. It was the same for Tanko. He knew of the blade’s history, but he sought after it anyways. His lust for revenge was so great that the two came to an understanding. Takute would help Tanko with revenge and Takute would be able to taste blood. However, what either of them realized was that this partnership was permanent as they both seemed to complete each other.

Fighting Style Ryujin Yoshiki(Dragon God Style; Demon Wielding Style)
Clan: Kokaganken
Description:
The Ryujin Style or the Dragon God Style is an immensely and deadly kenjutsu style developed to allow a single practitioner to defeat numerous enemies single-handedly. Practitioners of this style use a combination of superhuman speed and agility while in an advanced Iaido stance. The user makes use of observation-based pseudo-clairvoyance in order to avoid the attacks of their opponents by the least possible margin and with the least possible effort in order to place themselves in the perfect position to strike in the very instant the opponent’s strike misses. By doing so, they stress two-step attacks in order to ensure that any and all that oppose it are thoroughly slain. Due to the immense power and energy used during the style, many who have seen this style come to believe that the user is some sort of sword-wielding demon. As a result of this misconception, it has often been called the Demon-Wielding Style.
Ryujin Style requires the user to be in good shape and well-disciplined and above all else, high amounts of stamina and endurance. Practitioners of this style also seem to have a much higher understanding of kenjutsu of different styles and are able to easily predict their foe’s movements. The user can also move in a way that allows them to almost always know exactly what moves their foe or foes are going to use by making their opponent move in a certain way so that their moves aren’t just predicted, but known. This means that the user can know what their foe’s next couple of moves are going to be. A draw back to this style is that they are strenuous to the user and can hurt them if not used wisely.

Chakra Shōgekiha Kiru(Chakra Shockwave Slash)
Samuraiken no Jutsu(Samurai Sabre Technique)
Issen(Flash)
Hadan(Rapture)
Name of Technique: Himitsu Jutsu: Ryukara(Secret Technique: Dragon Shell)
Type of Jutsu: Kenjutsu
Classification: Offensive
Rank: S
Range: Short
Nature Type: none
Handseals: None
Description: One of the secret techniques of the Ryujin Style, this technique utilizes the sheer power granted by the Ryujin Style. The user flows Chakra-Enhanced Strength throughout their entire body and channels it into the hilt of their katana. Then, just as quickly as the technique had been prepared, they strike at their opponent in the skull. Mere seconds from contact being made, the user releasess tenketsu in their arms and hands to increase the overall impact of force. Normally, when hit with that much force, the head would split open, leaving the brain exposed and it would crack in half as well, thus killing the opponent.
Weakness: Due to the risk that the user weighs while using this technique, there is a severe drawback of it failing and the user being pretty much useless with any kind of chakra technique. Since this requires most of the overall chakra reserves of the user, if it misses, the user will be extremely exhausted.
Name of Technique: Himitsu Jutsu: Kyujosho Shiryuoda(Secret Technique: Soaring Dragon Strike)
Type of Jutsu: Kenjutsu
Classification: Offensive
Rank: S
Range: Short to Mid
Nature Type: None
Handseals: None
Description: Considered to be one of the strongest techniques of the Ryujin Style, Soaring Dragon Strike is performed while a normal strike is performed by drawing the katana from its sheath on one side while stepping forward with the opposite foot. This strike adds yet another step mid-draw with the leading foot adjacent to the sheath.
This endangers the user by possibly putting the adjacent leg into the free sword’s path and draws one even closer to an opponent’s sword than usual, but on the other hand, it boosts both the power and speed of the enhanced Iaido swing. This technique allows the user to be able to step into the small margin behind one’s own drawn sword and in front of the sword of one’s opponent without fail, delivering a beyond-godspeed blow of monstrous power. Like other Iaido moves of the Ryujin Style, Soaring Dragon Strike is a two-step move and if its secret should be anticipated and the strike itself blocked or dodged, the second step immediately comes into effect. The immense force of the enhanced draw cuts the air in front of it and creates a powerful vacuum in its wake as the deflected air rushes back into place. Any opponent to deflect or dodge the first swing will automatically be subject to this vacuum and inexorably pulled closer to the user, all the while this vacuum creates intense winds powerful enough to overwhelm and catch their opponents off-balance.
When the great amount of force being applied to the technique, a missed swing naturally leads into an accelerated spin. The added momentum of the spin in addition to the pulling force of the vacuum on both sides results in a second strike that greatly dwarfs the first in power. As a result, the target would be flung into the air by the powerful strike and comes crashing down to the ground. To date, no one has yet to survive being hit with this technique.
Weakness: The most perfect of concentration is needed. Even if there is one misstep, the technique can backfire severely and the user could quite possibly lose their life as a result…or worse.
Name of Technique: Ryu no Kosho(Bite of The Dragon)
Type of Jutsu: Kenjutsu; Taijutsu
Classification: Offensive; Defensive
Rank: A
Range: Short
Nature Type: None
Handseals:
Description: Ryu no Kosho is both a defensive and offensive-type of technique of the famed Ryujin Style. To pull this off, the user must have a good amount of strength, chakra control, and precision as this technique is considered to be one of the Ryujin Style’s more advanced techniques.
By observing the target, the user matches the exact breathing pattern of the foe and channels chakra to one of their dominant hand’s fingers. Then, as the foe strikes, the user is able to catch and absorb the impact of the strike with the mid-section of their finger. The user will then bring the top half of their finger to the target’s weapon causing the absorbed strike to be redirected to the target as slashing damage back at the foe.
Weakness: Complete chakra control is essential for this technique to go without a hitch. Complete concentration is also needed.
Name of Technique: Koirujoryu(Coiled Dragon)
Type of Jutsu: Kenjutsu
Classification: Defensive
Rank: B
Range: Short
Nature Type: None
Handseals: None
Description: Koirujoryu is a defensive type of technique of the Ryujin Style. Similar to the Ryu no Kosho technique, the user will observe and match the breathing of the foe, only this time sending chakra into their katana. Then, as the foe strikes, the user will place their open hand on their blade just as the opponent’s sword comes in for that strike, causing all of the chakra in the sword to be released, which in turn causes the foe’s strike to be nullified.
Weakness: Just as with Ryu no Kosho, the aspect of complete chakra control and concentration is needed for this technique to be successful.
Name of Technique: Momoki ni-ryu(Blinding Dragon
Type of Jutsu: Kenjutsu
Classification: Offensive; Defensive
Rank: C
Range: Short
Nature Type: None
Handseals: None
Description: The user will block an oncoming strike with the guard of their katana and then take said end of the hit and forcefully and quickly jam it into the target’s eye. This will cause the target to go blind temporarily in said eye due to the pain.
Weakness: It’s a simple block. If quick enough, the receiving end of this move will be able to counter in some way.
Name of Technique: Ryugeoda(Dragon Fang Strike)
Type of Jutsu: Kenjutsu
Classification: Offensive
Rank: C
Range: Short
Nature Type: None
Handseals: None
Description:A simple yet powerful offensive technique of the Ryujin Style. The user will perform a one-handed, Iaido strike. Just before the blade makes contact to the mid-section of the target, the user places their free hand onto the blade and will push it into the target with great force and tremendous anger. The result causes the original strike to gain an increase of power and speed as it severs a vital spot of the target’s and could potentially lead them to bleed out to death.
Weakness: As it is a simple technique, it could just as easily be evaded by side-stepping or something of the like.

Fighting Style Ryujin Yoshiki(Dragon God Style; Demon Wielding Style)
Clan: Kokaganken
Description:
The Ryujin Style or the Dragon God Style is an immensely and deadly kenjutsu style developed to allow a single practitioner to defeat numerous enemies single-handedly. Practitioners of this style use a combination of superhuman speed and agility while in an advanced Iaido stance. The user makes use of observation-based pseudo-clairvoyance in order to avoid the attacks of their opponents by the least possible margin and with the least possible effort in order to place themselves in the perfect position to strike in the very instant the opponent’s strike misses. By doing so, they stress two-step attacks in order to ensure that any and all that oppose it are thoroughly slain. Due to the immense power and energy used during the style, many who have seen this style come to believe that the user is some sort of sword-wielding demon. As a result of this misconception, it has often been called the Demon-Wielding Style.
Ryujin Style requires the user to be in good shape and well-disciplined and above all else, high amounts of stamina and endurance. Practitioners of this style also seem to have a much higher understanding of kenjutsu of different styles and are able to easily predict their foe’s movements. The user can also move in a way that allows them to almost always know exactly what moves their foe or foes are going to use by making their opponent move in a certain way so that their moves aren’t just predicted, but known. This means that the user can know what their foe’s next couple of moves are going to be. A draw back to this style is that they are strenuous to the user and can hurt them if not used wisely.

Name of Technique: Himitsu Jutsu: Ryukara(Secret Technique: Dragon Shell)
Type of Jutsu: Kenjutsu
Classification: Offensive
Rank: S
Range: Short
Nature Type: none
Handseals: None
Description: One of the secret techniques of the Ryujin Style, this technique utilizes the sheer power granted by the Ryujin Style. The user flows Chakra-Enhanced Strength throughout their entire body and channels it into the hilt of their katana. Then, just as quickly as the technique had been prepared, they strike at their opponent in the skull. Mere seconds from contact being made, the user releasess tenketsu in their arms and hands to increase the overall impact of force. Normally, when hit with that much force, the head would split open, leaving the brain exposed and it would crack in half as well, thus killing the opponent.
Weakness: Due to the risk that the user weighs while using this technique, there is a severe drawback of it failing and the user being pretty much useless with any kind of chakra technique. Since this requires most of the overall chakra reserves of the user, if it misses, the user will be extremely exhausted.
Name of Technique: Himitsu Jutsu: Kyujosho Shiryuoda(Secret Technique: Soaring Dragon Strike)
Type of Jutsu: Kenjutsu
Classification: Offensive
Rank: S
Range: Short to Mid
Nature Type: None
Handseals: None
Description: Considered to be one of the strongest techniques of the Ryujin Style, Soaring Dragon Strike is performed while a normal strike is performed by drawing the katana from its sheath on one side while stepping forward with the opposite foot. This strike adds yet another step mid-draw with the leading foot adjacent to the sheath.
This endangers the user by possibly putting the adjacent leg into the free sword’s path and draws one even closer to an opponent’s sword than usual, but on the other hand, it boosts both the power and speed of the enhanced Iaido swing. This technique allows the user to be able to step into the small margin behind one’s own drawn sword and in front of the sword of one’s opponent without fail, delivering a beyond-godspeed blow of monstrous power. Like other Iaido moves of the Ryujin Style, Soaring Dragon Strike is a two-step move and if its secret should be anticipated and the strike itself blocked or dodged, the second step immediately comes into effect. The immense force of the enhanced draw cuts the air in front of it and creates a powerful vacuum in its wake as the deflected air rushes back into place. Any opponent to deflect or dodge the first swing will automatically be subject to this vacuum and inexorably pulled closer to the user, all the while this vacuum creates intense winds powerful enough to overwhelm and catch their opponents off-balance.
When the great amount of force being applied to the technique, a missed swing naturally leads into an accelerated spin. The added momentum of the spin in addition to the pulling force of the vacuum on both sides results in a second strike that greatly dwarfs the first in power. As a result, the target would be flung into the air by the powerful strike and comes crashing down to the ground. To date, no one has yet to survive being hit with this technique.
Weakness: The most perfect of concentration is needed. Even if there is one misstep, the technique can backfire severely and the user could quite possibly lose their life as a result…or worse.

Age Appearance: 40 Years; Face looks rather young despite white hair
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Birthplace: Central Desert of the Wind Country
Organisation: N/A
Clan/Kekkei Genkai (or hiden): Saduzow Clan [Status: Mysteriously Destroyed] /Tamashi no Rikugun (The Army of Souls) aka The Fusiongun
Rank: ????
Position: 'Leader' of the Clan; Last of the Saduzows
Chakra Nature: Fuuton, Wind Release; Doton, Earth Release
Additional Appearance Details: Irises are a very pale brown, which fade into white closer to the sclera. Measures at 183 centimetres and weighs at 80 kilograms. Has a flexible build, lightly muscled but by no means 'ripped'. His are small, tightly knit muscles which allow for a good level of power and speed, rather than large muscles which give brute strength but little speed and power. He is in peak physical condition despite his age, largely due to his nomadic existence.
Has a few scars, most notably one running down from his right collarbone to his left hip. He has a smaller scar running down his left cheek and numerous marks and scars over his body, as any self-respecting veteran who has faced death should reasonably have.
Daichi does not know anything about the annihilation of his clan. He only knows that his aunt had come to visit his mother one day to find, much to her shock, the destroyed remnants of the clan's compound and the bloody remains of the Saduzow. She found Daichi lying, barely alive, beside the crushed corpse of his mother. Shaking, she only just about managed to pick up her nephew and quickly get away from the place. No one knows what happened, and the event came as a great shock to the Land of Wind and allied clans, for the Saduzow had been a mighty and vital weapon in the Wind Country's armoury. Their annihilation left the nation desperately vulnerable, which proved devastating for the Wind Country - but not completely debilitating - during the First Great Shinobi War.
Daichi grew up with his aunt and her family in the Suna Clan compound, which would later grow to become Sunagakure. He became a very lonely child, this most likely being due to the constant bullying by his cousins which broke his faith in people before that had truly developed. Being from a different clan did not endear him to anyone else either. It was often the case that he would wonder alone into the desert or find a place far from others where he could sit and think on his own.
One night, Daichi now six years old, lay in his makeshift bed in the attic, and he thought. He thought about his life and about his cousins, and he thought about the clan's makeshift academy, and of the future when he would surely become a most powerful ninja.
He would show them all. His cousins. His now-widowed aunt who cared nothing for him. The senseis who mocked him. The students who looked down on him. This entire clan...
And in his heart, the seeds of hatred were planted, and they would be nurtured over time.
One day, perhaps a year after that fateful night, Daichi was to partake in a sparring session. The sensei did what he always did: paired Daichi with the only person he could truly call a friend. Mao Suna was short; she had large beautiful green eyes, light brown hair, and a lovely smile. And she understood Daichi. She was not like the others.
Gritting his teeth, Daichi decided that if the sensei kept pairing him with Mao, he would never be able to display his prowess. Not that he was weaker than her, he just could never bring himself to seriously spar with her. She was his only friend, and he hung to that friendship like a fish to water. He had asked the sensei to pair him with someone else more times than he could count, but he never agreed. And so Daichi had decided that if he wanted to become strong he had to leave such petty things as friendship behind him. He would not hesitate this time.
'Okay,' the sensei's voice silenced all the chattering students and they all prepared themselves.
'Keep it clean,” he growled, allowing his gaze to pass over the sparring hall.
'Begin!' he shouted. The room crackled with life as the each student leapt upon their partner. Fire tore across the room, clones ran up and down as opponents hit each other, yelps and angry shouts rose up.
But Daichi had his opponent down in seconds. He stood over the unconscious Mao and looked around himself imperiously.
The sensei noticed after a while and worry crept into his eyes almost immediately.
'Idiot! Get away from her,' the sensei walked over and pointed Daichi towards the far wall. It was against the sparring rules to knock anybody out, a knock down was enough.
The sensei generated some water and poured it over the unconscioues girl, but she did not move. Frowning, the sensei bent down and checked her pulse. His eyes widened in shock and he glanced with horror at Daichi.
She must be really hurt, the boy thought to himself. Then he noticed that the sensei had tears welling up in his eyes.
Daichi frowned, he knew that Mao was Onwa-sensei's daughter and all, but he did not have to weep over her being knocked unconscious...
Shouting for everyone to stop, the sensei ran out of the hall with Mao in his arms. Frowning, Daichi decided to follow. They reached the infirmary, and the child was quickly pushed out of the way. He sat against a wall and watched quietly as nurses worried over the silent Mao.
Finally, one of the nurses looked up and shook her head.
'I am sorry, but I can’t do anything. She is gone,' Onwa-sensei’s face fell and tears dribbled down his cheeks, and when he looked at Daichi, it was with such hostility and loathing that the child had to hug his knees and make himself as small as possible.
'And what about him, the one who...who murdered her,' the words washed over Daichi and emptiness engulfed him. Realisation hit at last and a cold chill ran down his spine. Terror overwhelmed him and he found that he could not move. He wanted to cry out in fear and weep, but the tears never came, there was only a dull thudding emptiness in his chest, a hole Mao had filled with her beauty and smiles. She was gone.
The emptiness took over, like a hungry predator that had been waiting to strike. All he thought of was Mao, and knowing she was dead pained him more than anything, more than the insults, hostility, more than being looked down on, more than being bullied, it pained him so much he could not breathe. He realised then, in a naive and childish sense, that he had loved Mao Onwa. As much as he hated her father, he had loved her - as a friend, as a girl. She had been his family, clan and home. She managed to worm her way into his heart, brighten his dark days, make him feel wanted, needed. Mao had given him purpose: to make her happy. It was so simple, but to Daichi it had been vast.
That night, abandoned by everyone - even his aunt - Daichi left the compound and walked out into the desert. He walked for days without water or drink until he could walk no more, and one night he lay down on the sands and watched the star-filled desert skies. Death was coming for him, he could feel it. He welcomed its coming. One like him did not deserve life after all.
The darkness sucked him in and he welcomed it with gratitude and happiness, as though it were an old friend that had been gone too long. This was probably the luckiest thing that had ever happened to him.
But it was much too lucky, and he knew that something was going to happen soon, something that would halt death itself, such was the power of his terrible luck. In the darkness of the night and his coming doom, Daichi heard laughter. Malicious, demonic, devilish, satanic laughter; he thought he saw a green glow, a striped creature and vicious claws. And eyes. It reached for him and Daichi cried out in fear.
Except it was not anything malicious or green. It was pure white light. Great winged beings were descending down upon him, their wings glowing white. Perhaps these were the gods of death themselves, it gladdened his heart that so many shinigami thought his soul worthy enough to come take it. Perhaps.
Indeed, they were not shinigami at all, but Anjekus - creatures of legend long forgotten by the world. In their wisdom, they had also chosen to forget the world. For whatever reason, however, they came down upon Daichi in his moment of death and carried him off.
He dwelled with them for twenty-three years, and those years were no less than the best of his sixty years of existence. He learned from them, they honoured him as one of their own and he felt that he had finally found a home.
In his final years with them, the Anjekus prepared him for a ritual they called The Ceremony of Flight. It was something of a coming off-age ritual for adolescent Anjekus. Daichi had no fear of these creatures who had taught him and strengthened him, and anything they ordered him to do, he obeyed. And so it was that Daichi received the wings he would become famed for during the First Great Shinobi War, which would begin in five years. Wings which were as black as the Anjekus' wings were white. Daichi left them then, setting out into the world to carve out a life and destiny for himself.
In his thirty years of existence up until that point, Daichi had become a human Anjeki, creatures of might and power. Walking away from the mountain home of the Anjekus proved to be the beginning of thirty years of travel during which Daichi clashed with shinobi from all Five Great Shinobi Countries, mostly during the First Great Shinobi War which broke out when he was thirty five. During the fifteen years of war, he found himself on the receiving end of each of the Hidden Villages' wrath, and his travels took him from one encounter with shinobi to another. The war was a school, and in it he honed his abilities and gained a reputation which has followed him since.
Since the war ended ten years ago, Daichi has continued his travels alone, having left two of his three sons - whom he had with an Anjekus - to their own lives. He is in search of their youngest brother, who was kidnapped during the war and has not been seen since.

The woman's radiant green eyes looked up upon the beast which towered high above her. It was a strange tiger of sorts, green in colour and with black stripes. And it was huge; glowing and with parts of it phasing in and out of existence. Needless to say, she had never seen such a monstrosity.
And it had killed everyone.
At the monster's feet was her child, his eyes glowing a complete green as he crawled through the blood and over the bodies of his people. How had this happened? The activation of the clan's kekkai genkai always resulted in a loss of control, but such a monstrosity was unheard of. And it did not harm the child at all.
'Dai...' she croaked, tears welling up in her eyes as she tried to crawl towards him. Her lower body was all gone. The child stopped crawling and sat up, cocking his head at her and cooing slightly. He was nothing but a baby after all. The light of the late afternoon sun was obscured, and an ethereal paw descended upon the dying woman.

From their greatest Kages and Daimyos to their most poverty-stricken peasants, humans are a taint on the face of the earth. While he does not necessarily believe in wiping them out - they are, after all, part of the natural order of things - he does not think much of them and their affairs. Or at least he likes to tell himself that, it makes him feel distant and superior. And mysterious, he likes mysterious.
Old and experienced as he is, Daichi has not truly had any profound experiences with other humans ever since he left the mountain home of the Anjekus, other than killing more than he cares to remember over the years (well, he does not regard himself as a mere human, he is an Anjeki, clearly much greater and superior beings). Despite the meditation he often partook in with the Anjekus, and all the high and lofty ideals they tried to instill in him, Daichi is severely lacking in wisdom and any great degree of compassion for anything human.
He does, however, hold a great respect for nature, and he views the tailed beasts as a part of said nature. Attempts by people to subjugate them and turn them into tools of war and destruction disgust him greatly, and he will often go out of his way to foil any schemes and plots he is aware of with regards to the beasts.
When interacting with people, he comes across as rather cold and disinterested and it takes time for anyone to get through his facade of indifference - for it is a facade so convincing that he has grown to believe it is in fact real.

Base Weapons & Items:
Specialised Weapons & Items:
Name of Item: Eye of the Saduzow
Description: The most prized possession Daichi has, an amulet with the Saduzow clan emblem on it - an eye with a green emerald for the iris and pupil. It hangs on a chain around Daichi's neck and never leaves his person at any point. Considered a sacred treasure of the Saduzow, it greatly increases the capabilities of the Tamashi no Rikugun when activated. Unfortunately, Daichi has no idea how to activate the Eye.
====================
Name of Weapon: Sunaarashi
Description: A chakra blade in the form of a katana (see appearance in character image). While it can be infused with wind chakra flow using Wind Release: Vacuum Blade; the true power of this blade lies in its ability to simultaneously be infused with two chakra flows: Wind and Earth.
Infusing a weapon with earth chakra flow is unheard of, it is seen as a defensive type used on one's body rather than their weapon, but Daichi has infused it into his blade, along with wind chakra flow. This makes Sunaarashi a particularly potent and powerful sword. It must be noted that infusing it with two chakra's simultaneously is very taxing and leads to instability in the chakra flow. Thus, while it is very powerful, it sucks chakara very quickly and causes damage to the user the longer it is active. For this reason, Daichi usually combines the chakra flows in short bursts against an opponent who does not expect such a strange and dangerous attack.

Special Traits
Name of Kekkei Genkai/Hiden/Kekkei Tota: Tamashi no Rikugun/ The Fusiongun
Clan: Saduzow Clan
Description: The Fusiongun is a Kekkei Genkai technique special to the now largely reduced Saduzow Clan - the only remaining members being Daichi Saduzow and his three sons, Yoshiaki Saduzow, Toshihiro Saduzow and Kiyoshi Saduzow. The clan was very prominent in the Wind Country and prided itself on the quality and prowess of its shinobi, regarding themselves as the elite shinobi clan of the Land of Wind. The clan had a compound in the middle of the desert (see Daichi's birthplace on map) where its members were trained and taught in the clan's own, unique academies.
The clan had a dual hierarchy system. On the one side was the largely symbolic family hierarchy, where families within the clan traditionally viewed as prestigious and descended of great members of the clan were higher up and wielded more influence and respect. On the other was the more egalitarian prowess hierarchy. The clan had regular clan-wide examinations every ten years which tested all members on various abilities, ranging from cognitive skills and knowledge to ninja abilities and power over the Fusiongun. The fifteen who scored highest became the clan's council who would rule for the next ten years, the one who scored highest being considered the clan leader. However, the clan was extremely secretive about its internal workings and much has been forever lost, including their expansive library which was famed far beyond the borders of the Wind Country. The library was burnt to the ground during the destruction of the clan - it is suspected that a clan member did the act to prevent their knowledge from leaking out, as no other building had been burnt to the ground.
The Fusiongun, when activated, causes the user's iris and pupils to become a glow-in-the-dark green. This kekkai genkai causes the body of the user to become a medium between the physical world and the realms of the dead. Spirits of long dead animals, many which do not exist on the user's plane of existence, are capable of being called forth and used in combat. These spirits will attack anyone in the user's vicinity whom the user views as enemies. Activation also makes it possible for the user to detect all spirits within their one hundred metre radius - whether they are those they have summoned or those within living people or creatures in the vicinity.
What makes this ability something of a double-edged sword is that summoning forth a particularly powerful spirit without the ability to control it can lead to a complete loss of control. More often than not, it is the user who becomes the target of the vengeful spirit in such cases - meaning that the spirit, ironically enough, destroys the very medium keeping it on the physical plane.
Needless to say, it takes a phenomenal amount of willpower to use the Fusiongun, which is why the first time it is activated leads to a complete loss of control. All animals summoned will rampage and kill anyone in sight unless the rampage is contained - usually by a few skilled Fusiongun users who can seize control of the rampaging spirits and force the deactivation of the user's Fusiongun. Through long years of training, the wielder can summon more powerful spirits and maintain control over a greater amount simultaneously. This means that Saduzow clan-members required a very specialised and lengthier schooling, which is why the clan had its own special academy system in the compound.
Currently, the only known users of the Fusiongun are Daichi Saduzow and Kiyoshi Saduzow. Due to being the children of one with the Fusiongun and one without (regardless of whether the other was human or Anjeki) it was very unlikely that any of Daichi's children would ever have the Fusiongun. Thus, Kiyoshi having the Fusiongun came as a surprise to the entire family. This has also meant that his kidnapping came as a double-tragedy: the loss of Daichi's son and also the loss of the only other person who had the Fusiongun.
=========================================
Techniques:
Canon Jutsu
Basic Techniques:
Earth Release:
Wind Release:
Custom Jutsu
Name of Technique: Earth Release: Clawed Clone Jutsu
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu; Clone Technique
Rank: S
Range: Short; Mid; Long
Nature Type: Earth
Handseals: 11
Description: The user alters the very being of his shadow clones, creating a depiction of the most monstrous side of the user. Naturally, these clones take a lot of focus to control one clone, let alone more. This means that while this technique is active, the user's movements are very limited. Ideally he should remain completely still, though some bursts of movement won't break the Jutsu. The blow to movement is more than made up for by the raw destructive power and speed of the Clawed Clones, which can vary greatly depending on the amount of chakra used to create said clones.
This technique requires a great amount of chakra and to be extremely advanced in the art of creating shadow clones. Upkeep of the clones does not require any extra chakra, but the negative energies used to create the clone require that the user remain completely focused on keeping control of the clones. If control is lost, the Clawed Clone does not simply crumble to dust, but goes on a rampage until it has been destroyed beyond any ability to regenerate. Unlike normal shadow clones, the Clawed Clone cannot itself use Jutsus, and is only useful in melee or for guarding the user if need be. The clone is immune to genjutsu, has some resistance to ninjutsu and taijutsu. It is also capable of regenerating itself if any part of it is destroyed. This regeneration ability requires chakra, which the clone has a finite, irreplaceable amount of. It is therefore dependent on the user's chakra reserves for continued regeneration.
The clones can be dispelled by the user at will, so long as they remain in control of them. The clone can be stopped in one of three ways: destroying it completely, thus making regeneration impossible; sealing it or trapping it in some way so that it is no longer a threat; or forcing the user to deplete their chakra reserves so that the clone can no longer regenerate - alternatively, one can make the user lose control of the clone, which also achieves this effect.
Weakness: Incorporated into description. But to summarise:
====================
Name of Technique: Earth Chakra Flow; Earth Release: Earth Rock Sword
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: B
Range: Short
Nature Type: Earth
Handseals: None
Description: A combination of Earth Spear and and Rock Armour which, rather than being imbued into the user's body, is imbued into one's weapon. Daichi generally uses it on his sword, Sunaarashi.
The sword becomes extraordinarily hard and its offensive power increases tremendously, meaning that normal weapons are shattered upon contact. The blade is easily able to pierce rock and penetrate defensive ninjutsu of Rank C and damage those of Rank B. This technique does not add to the weight of the sword and is usually used in conjunction with Wind Chakra Flow; Wind Release: Vacuum Blade, adding to its lethal cutting power and negating the swords vulnerability to lightening based attacks. Using this combo is Daichi's regular method of combat, tending to take advantage of the fact that he needs no handseals for either Vacuum Blade or Earth Rock Sword to spontaneously change between each technique.
Weakness: On its own, this jutsu is clearly vulnerable to lightening release techniques, a skilled practitioner could easily conduct lightening through the blade and give the user quite a shock. However, this is negated when this technique is used in conjuction with Vacuum Blade, in which case the technique becomes rather vulnerable to fire release jutsus, despite the earth release acting as something of a counter-balance to that. It must be noted that while infusing Sunaarashi with two chakras simultaneously is the swords speciality, it is very taxing and leads to instability in the chakra flow through the sword. Thus, while it is very powerful, it sucks chakra very quickly and causes damage to the user the longer it is active. For this reason, Daichi usually combines the chakra flows in short bursts against an opponent who does not expect such a strange and dangerous attack rather than use it continuously.
====================
Name of Technique: Mummy Bandage Wrapping Jutsu
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: B
Range: Short; Mid; Long
Nature Type: Earth; Wind
Handseals: 5
Description: A blast of aged bandage cloth emerges from the user's palm and streaks towards the target at very high speeds. The cloth attempts to wrap around the target, immediately paralysing them. The paralysis works in two stages. The initial stage occurs upon contact with the target, the cloth is coated with a powerful, chakra charged, scorpion poison which passes through cloth and skin right into the targets bloodstream, leading to almost immediate paralysis. This continues as the bandages wrap around the target, and once more bandages hold them in place, the chakra in the bandages begins targeting pressure points, cementing the paralysis and possibly leading to fainting. This also affects the chakra flow in the target's body and can mean that even if the target gets away, they will have less control over their chakra for a while.
The paralysis can range from one minute to ten depending on the target's capabilities, but the paralysis allows for more bandages to wrap around the target, adding to the paralysing effect. The bandages, if allowed, will tighten around the victim completely. The air flow in and out of the target is inhibited, the tightening of the bandages puts great strain on blood vessels in the body and with increased strain on more pressure points, given time the target will die.
Due to the large number of bandage cloths released, this technique can be used simultaneously on numerous opponents, more-so if the user decides to use both hands.
Weakness: Though enhanced with chakra to prevent ease of severing, the bandages can be severed with chakra enhanced weapons. This usually requires one other than the target to do it, unless the target overcomes the paralysis. The bandages can also be torn, swatted down or trapped by dropping things like rock, metal or other physically heavy things upon them. Further, fire release techniques can set them alight - and being aged bandages, they are very vulnerable to fire. Due to their earth properties and their chakra enhancement, the bandages are rather good at conducting lightening, meaning that the user can get quite the shock if they are struck, if not be seriously injured, depending on the strength of the lightening attack.
====================
Name of Technique: Giant Pyramid Turtle Summoning Jutsu: Grazna
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu; Summoning Technique
Rank: B
Range: Short; Mid; Long
Nature Type: Earth; Wind
Handseals: 5
Description: This technique summons one of the Giant Pyramid Turtles which dwell within the mountain home of the Anjekus. Daichi's summon is an enormous, red horned turtle named Grazna. While slow, it has the ability to release powerful gusts of wind from its mouth and has the ability to manipulate the earth in its direct vicinity. Its skin is particularly hard and thus difficult to penetrate.
Weakness: As is the case with all turtles, Grazna is pitifully slow, both in movement and reaction time.
====================
Name of Technique: Pyramid Lotus
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu; Summoning Technique
Rank: A
Range: Short; Mid; Long
Nature Type: Earth; Wind
Handseals: None
Description: This technique requires that Grazna be summoned.
Upon command from the summoner, Grazna buries itself into the ground, leaving nothing but the pyramid above ground, which then proceeds to open much like a lotus flower. Within it is a huge pole, upon which is a mummy sarcophagus. As the pyramid opens up, so too does the sarcophagus and a humanoid being emerges, covered from head to toe in bandages. However, its chest area has a clean cut from neck to pelvis, though this is closed.
This mummy enjoys much of a Clawed Clone's abilities, with exception that there is no risk of losing control.
This creature is capable of matching up against A Rank shinobi, and the touch of its bandages has the same properties as Daichi's Mummy Bandage Wrapping Jutsu. Extremely fast and well-versed in taijutsu, this is a most powerful creature. Further, due to not being a completely sentient being, genjutsu does not affect the mummy.
Weakness: While powerful in its own right, this mummy is rather vulnerable to fire release techniques as its ancient, dry body can very easily be set alight. While very fast, the main strength of its strikes is in fact their ability to paralyze opponents rather than any physical damage they do, thus if one is strong enough, they can fight through the paralysis and physically attack the mummy, its head being its weakness as all other body parts can be reassembled if severed. However, unlike Clawed Clones, body parts cannot be regenerated if destroyed - if for instance they are burnt or completely pulverised.
====================
Name of Technique: Mummy Burial
Type of Jutsu: Fuinjutsu
Rank: S
Range: Short; Mid
Nature Type: Earth; Wind
Handseals: None
Description: This technique requires that Pyramid Lotus be active. The mummy opens up its chest and wraps its arms and legs around the target, before proceeding to consume them into itself. Once they have been completely consumed, the mummy leaps back into the sarcophagus which closes shut and falls to the ground of the pyramid among many other sarcophagi which undoubtedly host others who have been sealed inside over the centuries. A new sarcophagus and mummy grow back naturally over a period of one month.
Weakness: The clearest weakness is the huge recharge time required for the re-use of this skill, making it rather ineffective in an immediate battle against many opponents, it also means that Pyramid Lotus cannot be used for the same period of time.
Further, the technique can be quashed completely if one is able to resist the paralysis and use fire release jutsus - being particularly potent when one is inside the mummy as the critical hit chance is 100%.
====================
Name of Technique: Ultimate Defense Orb
Type of Jutsu: Defensive Ninjutsu
Rank: B
Range: Short
Nature Type: Earth; Wind
Handseals: The amount.
Description: Creates an orb of very thick chakra around around the user, which is nigh on indestructible. However it takes a huge amount of chakra to keep up and B rank jutsu's can weaken it slightly. A rank jutsus and above can obliterate it, leaving the user inside injured but alive. However, they are drained of all the chakra they put into creating the technique. This also passively protects against genjutsu, the chakra flow around the user slightly disrupting the delicate chakra signals required for a genjutsu to affect a user's mind. However, those with some genjutsu skill can generally over-ride this and get through to the user within.
Weakness: As mentioned, high level ninjutsu can obliterate the orb. The orb also takes up the user's complete focus and they are neither able to move nor use any other jutsus while it is active. It is truly a last ditch absolute defence jutsu.
Further, the orb consumes chakra at a staggering rate, and both initiating and keeping up the jutsu can drain a shinobi. For this reason, it is considered rather ineffective if the user needs to continue fighting after it is dispelled.
====================
Name of Technique: Anjekus Ascension
Type of Jutsu: N/A
Rank: S
Range: N/A
Nature Type: N/A
Handseals: N/A
Description: This is not so much a 'jutsu' as it is an automatically triggered reaction to near death situations. Daichi's appearance changes and he grows the black wings he is famed for. His eyes become completely white and a strange swirling aura, black and white, surrounds him. His chakra peaks, doubling or tripling in size, and his body heals completely. To achieve the full form of this technique, Daichi must truly be on the brink of death, for the Anjekus have a strange affiliation with death.
Weakness: Daichi cannot use this technique at will, and must be beaten and battered to the extent that he is at death's doors, it is designed as a second wind mechanism and allows Daichi to tap into a greater pool of chakra.
However, the technique cannot be maintained for an extended period of time, ten minutes at the most, after which it dissipates, leaving the user's health restored and injuries healed, and their chakra back to its usual level. Further, the technique cannot activate until a period of sixth months has passed since the last activation, meaning that Daichi does not enjoy an infinite amount of 'second winds'.
- Extraordinary Stamina & Endurance - Daichi grew up in the mountains of the Anjekus, the high altitudes forced his body to adapt and the harsh terrain required great skill and bodily stamina to negotiate. He can go through long periods of bodily strain without tiring and requires relatively little rest to recuperate. Years of traveling have further improved upon this trait.
- Decent Strength - While Daichi is by no means a monument to physical strength and muscularity, his strength matches, or is just above, that of the average chunin's.
- Relatively Fast - As with his strength, Daichi's speed matches that of the average jonin, or just above.
- Longevity - Due to the Ceremony of Flight, Daichi partially gained some of the Anjekus' long lifespans. His natural life is perhaps double that of a normal human.
- Chakra of the Saduzow - Due to their unique kekkai genkai, the Saduzow Clan developed certain chakra traits, over time and through selective reproduction at a point in their history, which led to most Saduzow clan-members having unusually large chakra pools which was much easier to mould and control than usual. This meant that chakra levels and control did not become a hindering factor when a clan-member was focusing on controlling all the spirits they had called forth. Needless to say, Daichi has inherited this. His sons, while benefiting from much larger chakra pools (thanks to their Anjeki half) do not have chakra as easy to mould and control as Daichi.
- Master of Ninjutsu; Bukijutsu Skill; Taijutsu Amateur - During his years with the Anjekus, Daichi was mainly taught ninjutsu and taijutsu (he did not remain long enough to delve into senjutsu). He did not achieve true mastery until he found himself forced to push himself to higher and higher levels during The First Great Shinobi War. Learning a wide array of jutsu in combat from enemies, he also developed a few of his own. His over-all physical power, training and experience also makes him a rather decent taijutsu user, though those with more dedication to the art can best him. He also received, along with taijutsu, a great amount of training in the Kenjutsu branch of Bukijutsu. Over the years his use of his sword, Sunaarashi, has been combined with his ninjutsu skills to create a very powerful combo.
- Masterful Imbecile of Genjutsu - If idiocy in the use of genjutsu was an art, Daichi would be a master amongst masters. Genjutsu as a whole baffles him and he does not bother much with it. His ability to detect genjutsu being used against him, however, is above average due to the Chakra of the Saduzow. His abnormal chakra control, and the traits of his chakra, mean that disturbances by foreign chakra are slightly more easy to detect. Of course, those with some skill with genjutsu are capable of trapping him without him noticing for extended periods of time, while those less skilled would be able to trap him for shorter periods before he notices. It must be noted that knowledge of one's entrapment in a genjutsu does not mean they are any the more able to break free, and this is true of Daichi.
- Easily Absorbed Chakra - Due to the ease with which Chakra of the Saduzow can be moulded and controlled, it is rather vulnerable to Chakra Absorption Techniques. Such techniques are particularly potent against Daichi and even a small amount of exposure can drain him of huge amounts of chakra despite his large chakra pool. While the chakra does not retain its traits once absorbed into another persons chakra stream, the amount absorbed is huge, giving opponents huge boosts. In rare cases, the speed and amount of chakra absorbed can be damaging to the one absorbing, leading to chakra overflow, chakra being wasted and a varying period of weakness.
Name of Kekkei Genkai/Hiden/Kekkei Tota: Tamashi no Rikugun/ The Fusiongun
Clan: Saduzow Clan
Description: The Fusiongun is a Kekkei Genkai technique special to the now largely reduced Saduzow Clan - the only remaining members being Daichi Saduzow and his three sons, Yoshiaki Saduzow, Toshihiro Saduzow and Kiyoshi Saduzow.

However, the clan was extremely secretive about its internal workings and much has been forever lost, including their expansive library which was famed far beyond the borders of the Wind Country.

Thus, Kiyoshi having the Fusiongun came as a surprise to the entire family. This has also meant that his kidnapping came as a double-tragedy: the loss of Daichi's son and also the loss of the only other person who had the Fusiongun.

- Requires a great amount of chakra to initiate.
- Requires mastery of Shadow Clone creation.
- Clone cannot use jutsus.
- Clone requires extra chakra to regenerate - usually relying on the user's.
- Complete destruction of the clone/s, trapping the clone/s, depleting the user's chakra reserves or causing the user to lose control of the clone/s are all methods one can attempt at neutralising this jutsu.

Name of Technique: Earth Chakra Flow; Earth Release: Earth Rock Sword
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: B
Range: Short
Nature Type: Earth
Handseals: None
Description: A combination of Earth Spear and and Rock Armour which, rather than being imbued into the user's body, is imbued into one's weapon. Daichi generally uses it on his sword, Sunaarashi.
The sword becomes extraordinarily hard and its offensive power increases tremendously, meaning that normal weapons are shattered upon contact. The blade is easily able to pierce rock and penetrate defensive ninjutsu of Rank C and damage those of Rank B.

Name of Technique: Mummy Bandage Wrapping Jutsu
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: B
Range: Short; Mid; Long

The paralysis can range from one minute to ten depending on the target's capabilities, but the paralysis allows for more bandages to wrap around the target, adding to the paralysing effect. The bandages, if allowed, will tighten around the victim completely. The air flow in and out of the target is inhibited, the tightening of the bandages puts great strain on blood vessels in the body and with increased strain on more pressure points, given time the target will die.
Due to the large number of bandage cloths released, this technique can be used simultaneously on numerous opponents, more-so if the user decides to use both hands.
Weakness: Though enhanced with chakra to prevent ease of severing, the bandages can be severed with chakra enhanced weapons. This usually requires one other than the target to do it, unless the target overcomes the paralysis. The bandages can also be torn, swatted down or trapped by dropping things like rock, metal or other physically heavy things upon them. Further, fire release techniques can set them alight - and being aged bandages, they are very vulnerable to fire. Due to their earth properties and their chakra enhancement, the bandages are rather good at conducting lightening, meaning that the user can get quite the shock if they are struck, if not be seriously injured, depending on the strength of the lightening attack.
====================
Name of Technique: Giant Pyramid Turtle Summoning Jutsu: Grazna
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu; Summoning Technique
Rank: B
Range: Short; Mid; Long
Nature Type: Earth; Wind
Handseals: 5
Description: This technique summons one of the Giant Pyramid Turtles which dwell within the mountain home of the Anjekus. Daichi's summon is an enormous, red horned turtle named Grazna. While slow, it has the ability to release powerful gusts of wind from its mouth and has the ability to manipulate the earth in its direct vicinity. Its skin is particularly hard and thus difficult to penetrate.
Weakness: As is the case with all turtles, Grazna is pitifully slow, both in movement and reaction time.
====================
Name of Technique: Pyramid Lotus
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu; Summoning Technique
Rank: A
Range: Short; Mid; Long
Nature Type: Earth; Wind
Handseals: None
Description: This technique requires that Grazna be summoned.
Upon command from the summoner, Grazna buries itself into the ground, leaving nothing but the pyramid above ground, which then proceeds to open much like a lotus flower. Within it is a huge pole, upon which is a mummy sarcophagus. As the pyramid opens up, so too does the sarcophagus and a humanoid being emerges, covered from head to toe in bandages. However, its chest area has a clean cut from neck to pelvis, though this is closed.
This mummy enjoys much of a Clawed Clone's abilities, with exception that there is no risk of losing control.
This creature is capable of matching up against A Rank shinobi, and the touch of its bandages has the same properties as Daichi's Mummy Bandage Wrapping Jutsu. Extremely fast and well-versed in taijutsu, this is a most powerful creature. Further, due to not being a completely sentient being, genjutsu does not affect the mummy.
Weakness: While powerful in its own right, this mummy is rather vulnerable to fire release techniques as its ancient, dry body can very easily be set alight. While very fast, the main strength of its strikes is in fact their ability to paralyze opponents rather than any physical damage they do, thus if one is strong enough, they can fight through the paralysis and physically attack the mummy, its head being its weakness as all other body parts can be reassembled if severed. However, unlike Clawed Clones, body parts cannot be regenerated if destroyed - if for instance they are burnt or completely pulverised.
====================
Name of Technique: Mummy Burial
Type of Jutsu: Fuinjutsu
Rank: S
Range: Short; Mid
Nature Type: Earth; Wind
Handseals: None
Description: This technique requires that Pyramid Lotus be active. The mummy opens up its chest and wraps its arms and legs around the target, before proceeding to consume them into itself. Once they have been completely consumed, the mummy leaps back into the sarcophagus which closes shut and falls to the ground of the pyramid among many other sarcophagi which undoubtedly host others who have been sealed inside over the centuries. A new sarcophagus and mummy grow back naturally over a period of one month.
Weakness: The clearest weakness is the huge recharge time required for the re-use of this skill, making it rather ineffective in an immediate battle against many opponents, it also means that Pyramid Lotus cannot be used for the same period of time.
Further, the technique can be quashed completely if one is able to resist the paralysis and use fire release jutsus - being particularly potent when one is inside the mummy as the critical hit chance is 100%.
====================
Name of Technique: Ultimate Defense Orb
Type of Jutsu: Defensive Ninjutsu
Rank: B
Range: Short
Nature Type: Earth; Wind
Handseals: The amount.
Description: Creates an orb of very thick chakra around around the user, which is nigh on indestructible. However it takes a huge amount of chakra to keep up and B rank jutsu's can weaken it slightly. A rank jutsus and above can obliterate it, leaving the user inside injured but alive. However, they are drained of all the chakra they put into creating the technique. This also passively protects against genjutsu, the chakra flow around the user slightly disrupting the delicate chakra signals required for a genjutsu to affect a user's mind. However, those with some genjutsu skill can generally over-ride this and get through to the user within.
Weakness: As mentioned, high level ninjutsu can obliterate the orb. The orb also takes up the user's complete focus and they are neither able to move nor use any other jutsus while it is active. It is truly a last ditch absolute defence jutsu.
Further, the orb consumes chakra at a staggering rate, and both initiating and keeping up the jutsu can drain a shinobi. For this reason, it is considered rather ineffective if the user needs to continue fighting after it is dispelled.
====================
Name of Technique: Anjekus Ascension
Type of Jutsu: N/A
Rank: S
Range: N/A
Nature Type: N/A
Handseals: N/A
Description: This is not so much a 'jutsu' as it is an automatically triggered reaction to near death situations. Daichi's appearance changes and he grows the black wings he is famed for. His eyes become completely white and a strange swirling aura, black and white, surrounds him. His chakra peaks, doubling or tripling in size, and his body heals completely. To achieve the full form of this technique, Daichi must truly be on the brink of death, for the Anjekus have a strange affiliation with death.
Weakness: Daichi cannot use this technique at will, and must be beaten and battered to the extent that he is at death's doors, it is designed as a second wind mechanism and allows Daichi to tap into a greater pool of chakra.
However, the technique cannot be maintained for an extended period of time, ten minutes at the most, after which it dissipates, leaving the user's health restored and injuries healed, and their chakra back to its usual level. Further, the technique cannot activate until a period of sixth months has passed since the last activation, meaning that Daichi does not enjoy an infinite amount of 'second winds'.
Name: Namine Akizakura
Age|Gender: 37|Female
Alliance: Kumogkure
Rank: S - Jounin, Aid to the Raikage
Clan: The Akizakura clan, named for the cosmos flower which symbolizes order, beauty, and balance, traits found in many of the Akizakura clan, especially their women. They are known for having strawberry blonde, blonde or sometimes even dark red hair, either wavy or straight. The women's role is anything but just a caregiver in this clan, as the Akizakura are a clan that has had to defend themselves from persecution more than once, and are masters of the art of deception and self-defense. Their unique Kekkei Genkai allows them to fool and deceive their opponents very easily, but requires a quelled ego and a witty mind. Few members of the Akizakura actually possess the Jibun no Shindo, and even fewer can master it.
The Jibun no Shindo originated in a woman born before the first Shinobi war, but after the dawn of Ninshuu. The woman was Kaguya Akizakura, a balanced woman of great strength who preached that women were just as good of fighters as men were, as many women felt their place was at home playing the role of a caregiver. Kaguya agreed only with the point of women being excellent caregivers, as she herself was a mother who embraced her maternal instincts and spread love to everyone she met. She was a beautiful soul, and had a flawless body to match. However, she preached that women should not be subservient in a Shinobi society due to their maternity, rather it gave them the strength to be some of the greatest Kunoichi ever. The maternal instinct and the nature of wanting to protect what one loves, especially one's children, she taught that these emotions of love were the most powerful weapons any Shinobi could learn to utilize.
This was not all. Along with embracing one's own emotions to be utilized as strength, she spoke of tolerance and understanding, that the emotions of others were a product of their experiences, and people did not choose to be how they were, they merely act based on how they view a situation. Kaguya taught compassion and empathy, to learn from others' perspectives and to take strength from them as well, for the world was not to be experienced alone. She said that the world itself had a soul, just like each human did. And the soul of the universe was within us all, we simply had to find it. She said that each and every object and organism of the universe had its own soul, memories and purpose here. Kaguya had the insight to be able to see into objects and discern their past leading up to the present, and was able to discern how situations would unfold based off of the emotion's of others around her. She became so in tune with the souls of those around her that she could temporarily blend her own soul with them, assimilating them as part of herself. She spoke of the process in which we all touch each other's souls upon meeting in some form, and that each person you interact with retains a part of you from that interaction, and with each successive interaction the part of you that is in them will grow. And so Kaguya lived by these beliefs, and collected parts of all the souls she came across, and so she loved them, just as she loved her family.
Thus, the Akizakura clan was born. To her daughter, and her granddaughter, and her great granddaughter, until she passed, she taught to embrace their emotions and to always be weary of the emotions of others. And so, every woman that was born throughout her lineage was birthed with the gift to be in tune with one's own soul, and to be in tune with the souls of others and of the world around them.
Kekkei Genkai: Jibun no Shindo (Vibration of Oneself) - This is a powerful Kekkei Genkai centered around energy and emotions. All who possess this Kekkei Genkai are extremely empathic by nature and can literally feel others' emotions when they are near them. When the wielder of this Kekkei Genkai builds a strong bond with another person or animal, they can feel strong emotions come from them from very far away, and in return those who connect with an Akizakura will feel surges of emotion from them occasionally. This causes confusion in young Akizakura who are not used to feeling such strong emotional tides, and often takes years of getting used to to be able to discern the emotions apart from one another.
Beyond feeling just mere emotions, anyone possessing the Jibun no Shindo is capable of feeling another's energy in various forms, most notably the ability to feel their chakra and changes in one's chakra without even having to look at them. With this, Akizakura are some of the most skilled sensors in the world as they can track down individual chakra signatures over vast distances as long as they have 'felt' their chakra presence before and are also human lie detectors in the manner of detecting subtle differences in one's body and chakra when they lie. Those possessing the Jibun no Shindo can feel the heartbeats and presences of others around them, and can feel various forms of chakra. For example, an Akizakura with this Kekkei Genkai can feel the chakra nature of someone they are near, for each person's chakra is unique. In the same rite, they can feel when they are in a Genjutsu due to the chakra disturbances in their body and in the area. This level of awareness can be very overwhelming at times, especially when emotions run high and there is a lot going on around them. However it is a blessing, as the Akizakura are nearly always aware of their surroundings due to their ability to feel and process the energy of the atmosphere, limited only by how much control and progression they have with their Kekkei Genkai. The connections the user develops with this Kekkei Genkai are for life, so once they have registered a person's unique chakra signature and felt their energy, they can track them over great distances. The range of their Kekkei Genkai is only limited by the user's concentration and personal skill with Jibun no Shindo.
This Kekkei Genkai is unique in the way that some Akizakura have developed it. Users are able to feel objects and 'empathize' with them, literally assimilating part of the substance into their own body and taking on its properties via a connection between the physical energy of the object and the user. e.g. the user touches metal and assimilates it into their arm, giving their arm metallic properties for a short duration, or until the user willfully cancels it. This gives birth to hundreds of possibilities, and by assimilating with the Chakra of another they are able to gain insight into their abilities. The assimilation aspect is hard to control and due to this, young Akizakura may only assimilate parts of their body with objects at a time, and cannot perform full-body assimilations just yet, nor can they perform multiple assimilations at once.
A very special trait of this Kekkei Genkai, which only a fraction of those who are born with the Jibun no Shindo are then also born with this, is the ability to feel deep connections within entities through mere touch by assimilating part of their chakra and soul into them, forming a deep bond where the user unifies themselves with the entity. For example, when the wielder of this unique trait touches a sword, they will gain the knowledge of all who have wielded the sword, and knowledge of all battles that sword has taken part in, and the events leading to how the sword is where it is now. This skill is emotionally overwhelming as it transfers memories and experiences into the user rapidly, which is a portal for negative emotions and positive emotions alike into the user. As such, it cannot be used continuously as it drains the user's mental energy. When used on another person the amount of knowledge and experience seen from them depends on how long contact is established, as such small periods of contact will only allow for a light form of insight into the energy of the person, like clues about their past and personality, and their nature as human beings. Long periods of contact allow for a much deeper connection to be established, similar to seeing another's life through their point of view, however this cannot be done to immediately gain skills or techniques from another, as it would still require first-hand practice in order to learn anything they have been given insight to, akin to learning in theory but not learning through personal application to said concepts.
Traits: All of Namine's accomplishment stems from her humbleness amidst a garden of brilliance. She is collectively aware of herself and her surroundings simultaneously. She passively feels the energy of everything around her. She is revered as a master of chakra control and a healer of the body an soul. She is extremely quick and agile in both body and wits, equating to her balanced swordsmanship.

Appearance: 
History: Namine was born during turbulent times. The Akizakura clan did not have much of a name for itself, as their abilities included much deception and avoidance of combat unless necessary. Despite those facts, the Akizakura, specifically their women, were targeted for their unique skills and were seen as a threat when they collaborated their abilities. In a clan full of sensors, you'd think they had each other's backs and could stay out of trouble. This was not the case as some might have liked to think... Before the First Shinobi World War began most of the Akizakura were hunted and exterminated, the survivors thrown on the run and into hiding. When they could not hide, the clan members proudly stood together in the face of danger. Their fate was almost always death, albeit a noble one.
Namine's father died in the first massacre of the Akizakura which occurred long before the First War. The systematic extermination of the Akizakura began over a decade before the war and continued all the way until its end. Her mother took her, a young girl at the age of seven who at the time who could not hide herself, and the Nuru-Kukan no Tachi away from their home in Kumogakure. They were on the run for a while, and it was hard to keep away from the enemy Shinobi hunting them. Her mother was a valiant woman who vowed to protect her daughter with her life. The love of her mother kept her alive, and she memorized the warm feeling of love that her mother brought her with her Kekkei Genkai.
The women of the Akizakura are strong, maternal caregivers, full of love and charity. These traits were passed down to Namine, in addition to the balance and beauty that her mother was known for. Namine's mother was the matriarch of the clan at the time, so her face was well-known in some parts of the country. She did her best to hide her daughter, they hid for years, but it was not enough. She could sense the impending doom drawing nearer each day, and eventually made the toughest decision of her life. She relinquished possession of Namine over to an orphanage, explaining to the young girl that she must hide herself at whatever cost, for she was a unique soul that was meant to bring love into a new era of the Shinobi world. She promised that one day Namine would never have to hide her identity, and that she would be one to usher in a new order to the world.
Her mother was found and was killed, not before putting up the fight of her life. She fought without Nuru-Kukan no Tachi, the blade that she left to her daughter, eventually perishing in the First Shinobi World War. Namine grew up alone and resisted any form of connection from those around her. A few short years after her mother died, the country's political climate became somewhat unstable. It was hard for her to understand, all she knew was that she had a gift that needed to be hidden from the world. Her mother's parting words stuck with her for the rest of her life, echoing through her dreams and guiding her through life with the promise of peace.
The First War began after Namine's parents had both passed. The young orphan was but twelve years old when the war began. Fifteen years later she would be a grown woman of 27 at the close of the battle. Any of her relatives that survived could not be found, as they most likely fled and went into hiding. A memorial was set up for her mother, as she was a prominent figure in Kumogakure before the war. During this fifteen year span there would be no academy days, no graduation or Genin squad to be placed in. She saw battle. Bloodshed. Death. They threw her to the fire and somehow she came out alive. For the entirety of the war she never backed down, never once decided that she was going to give up. She held onto her mother's will, after all.
She viewed the opportunity of being a Kunoichi of great skill as more of an obligation. There was not a chance she was going to let her mother's will fade away, the bar was set high from birth and she would live up to her name as an Akizakura even if her identity had to remain concealed. She went from Genin to Jounin by the time the war had ended. It left her desensitized for a few months. Food did not taste the same, nor did she take pleasure in smelling the flowers of the garden around where her mother was buried. For a while she did not go to that place, but when she finally did, she ccould not help but to cry for hours for all the time her mother spent fighting to protect her from such horrors. In the end Namine was left alone to protect the ideals of the Akizakura from going extinct.
Namine matured mentally beyond her years, collecting experience and empathizing with the efforts and actions of those she had encountered along the way. She had become a master swordsman and had begun work as an illusory speciality. Believing that ending suffering could be done by teaching the value of love, and this core belief became the root of her teachings. She was even able to come to terms with her mother's death and forgave the world for taking her family at such a young age.
After that Namine grew into a stunning image of her mother with even greater skill as a Genjutsu artist and renowned swordsman. She spent days on end alone with nothing but her sword. She would meditate in the forests with only its company and delve into the memories the sword held within. Eventually she came to know each member of her family who had wielded the sword going all the way back to Kaguya Akizakura. In fact, she spent so much time training and meditating with Nuru-Kukan no Tachi she was shown a vision of its birth and creation. Before that moment, she was told by her mother that everything had a soul, even inanimate objects. She did not fully grasp that concept until knowing how her ancestors' sword was born. It was pulled directly from nothing, a point of zero energy, by none other than Kaguya herself, and given form and life using the principles of Yin and Yang. At that precise moment she felt a pensive connection between her and the sword, as if the soul of Nuru-Kukan was acknowledging her soul and her ownership of the blade as a true swordsman. This was a key event in her development as seeing the principles of Yin and Yang in action through her Kekkei Genkai gave her a new perspective on life as well as her swordsmanship.
Namine gained a newfound respect for life, nature and all that occupied this plane of existence. She studied long and hard on the aspects of Yin and Yang and the roles they played in the world. This knowledge of life that was gifted to her led to a deep appreciation of nature and so she started a garden next to the gravesite of the Akizakura clan. After beginning the garden and filling it with all different types of plants and flowers she felt it was still lacking, and in her mind a new path opened when she became aware of the void in her garden. The garden was her life, and it had an emptiness to it. There were no conflictions in her mind, Namine left that very day and spent her late twenties after the war all the way into her early thirties traveling the world in search for philosophical meaning in the world.
She met hundreds of people during these beautiful years, experiencing bounds of love and finding peace within herself, a certain kind of calmness overtook her during this journey. A type of gratefulness for her life that kept her content at all times, never needing more than what was given to her and never needing to rush anywhere. Her patience peaked, and she easily empathized with all the concerns and troubled of everyone she met. Whilst traveling and gaining knowledge and helping others she also collected hundreds upon hundreds of species of plants, making journeys back to her garden at home when she could to bring the many new species back to her home in Kumogakure.
When she felt whole and complete inside, and had grown comfortable with only herself and Nuru-Kukan, she finally returned home to a radiant, lively garden. It was beautiful with all the colors of the rainbow fitting in somewhere in her garden, so many intoxicating aromas drifting from her plants, and some colorful poisons lurking in the corners of her garden. Now that she had returned home, Namine settled down and became a teacher of philosophy, psychology, and a well-known kenjutsu specialist. She agreed to take any student willing to learn and adapt to her teachings.
So for a while Namine was content being one of Kumogakure's youngest Jounin-sensei, however she only ever led one squad of Genin before the First Raikage plucked her from the herd and requested that she humbly serve him as head of the Sensory Division and Aid to the Raikage. Only during times of war would she act as the literal head of a unit, whereas most of her day to day duties would be accompanying the Raikage. There was no choice but to oblige seeing as Namine had no other path to walk, no family to take care of, and very few friends that had stuck around. One such peer was Genmyou, whom Namine had been sent on several missions with after he arrived in Kumogakure.
The Antare clan was a prominent one in Kumo, and they back Genmyou throughout hit stay. The Akizakura were once very close with the Antare before the massacre of her clan. Because of this the elders of the Antare who knew of Namine's true identity sent aid to her throughout her troubled childhood, revealing themselves as her benefactor much later in her life when they helped her receive her promotion- not that she really needed their help, her skills often spoke for themselves.
This blend of occurences and relationships made Genmyou's transition into the seat of Raikage very fluid- albeit only for Namine. Aside from the Antare, the elders of Kumogakure did not take well to the Second Raikage at first. It was only due to their mutual relationship with the Antare that Namine did not mind abiding her servitude to a new lord.
Personality: Namine is a shy woman, though it does not seem this way due to her constant connection with the internal world, and her Kekkei Genkai being a bridge from the external world into her internal mind. She constantly switches between the two, from taking in all of the energy around her, to withdrawing herself into her own little bubble. She is pensive, forming opinions of others and scenarios based on not only her thoughts and emotions but from the emotions that others give off pertaining to what she is thinking about. She views the world as an analytical web spun from exchanges of energy.
She is a very aware woman who does not miss a beat, keeping up in conversation easily due to her ability to anticipate others' actions based on their feelings and body language, which her sensory abilities remind her of often. Her analytical mind only hinders her when she is alone and her thoughts are left to race each other in circles, leading to over-analyzing and occasional bouts of depression. Deep down, she is a strong girl mentally who deals with tragedy well. Due to her Jibun no Shindo she is highly capable of dealing with her emotions and counseling others with theirs.
Her clairvoyant ability to feel the memories of those who she comes into contact with either through personal connection or the assimilation of objects gives her knowledge and wisdom beyond her years, and is often thought to be much older than she truly is because of this. She is very outgoing from her years traveling as a ronin and takes on new experience with an open heart. She is full of love straight down to the core, and enjoys spreading this love very much, while she is not hesitant to guard it from evil who seek to destroy it.
Combat Style: Namine remains distant from combat, mostly focusing her efforts as a sensor. Her sensory and emotional abilities are better used at a distance, not engaged directly in battle. Some think she is unskilled in the art of combat, but that cannot be further from the truth. All Akizakura women are instructed in self-defense, and Namine has embraced that aspect of her clan. She was first taught deception, how to avoid battle, before being taught how to mentally and physically deal with confrontation. While she is a fragile woman, her agility and reflexes are her strong suits when it comes to battle. Namine may be more suited as a sensor but she can hold her own in a hand to hand bout. She is stern and determined, never losing focus of her opponents. She combines this with the nimble gracefulness of her personality, coordinating them to create an elegant form of combat.
Nature Release: Yin-Yang
Namine's father died in the first massacre of the Akizakura which occurred long before the First War. The systematic extermination of the Akizakura began over a decade before the war and continued all the way until its end. Her mother took her, a young girl at the age of seven who at the time who could not hide herself, and the Nuru-Kukan no Tachi away from their home in Kumogakure. They were on the run for a while, and it was hard to keep away from the enemy Shinobi hunting them. Her mother was a valiant woman who vowed to protect her daughter with her life. The love of her mother kept her alive, and she memorized the warm feeling of love that her mother brought her with her Kekkei Genkai.
The women of the Akizakura are strong, maternal caregivers, full of love and charity. These traits were passed down to Namine, in addition to the balance and beauty that her mother was known for. Namine's mother was the matriarch of the clan at the time, so her face was well-known in some parts of the country. She did her best to hide her daughter, they hid for years, but it was not enough. She could sense the impending doom drawing nearer each day, and eventually made the toughest decision of her life. She relinquished possession of Namine over to an orphanage, explaining to the young girl that she must hide herself at whatever cost, for she was a unique soul that was meant to bring love into a new era of the Shinobi world. She promised that one day Namine would never have to hide her identity, and that she would be one to usher in a new order to the world.
Her mother was found and was killed, not before putting up the fight of her life. She fought without Nuru-Kukan no Tachi, the blade that she left to her daughter, eventually perishing in the First Shinobi World War. Namine grew up alone and resisted any form of connection from those around her. A few short years after her mother died, the country's political climate became somewhat unstable. It was hard for her to understand, all she knew was that she had a gift that needed to be hidden from the world. Her mother's parting words stuck with her for the rest of her life, echoing through her dreams and guiding her through life with the promise of peace.
The First War began after Namine's parents had both passed. The young orphan was but twelve years old when the war began. Fifteen years later she would be a grown woman of 27 at the close of the battle. Any of her relatives that survived could not be found, as they most likely fled and went into hiding. A memorial was set up for her mother, as she was a prominent figure in Kumogakure before the war. During this fifteen year span there would be no academy days, no graduation or Genin squad to be placed in. She saw battle. Bloodshed. Death. They threw her to the fire and somehow she came out alive. For the entirety of the war she never backed down, never once decided that she was going to give up. She held onto her mother's will, after all.
She viewed the opportunity of being a Kunoichi of great skill as more of an obligation. There was not a chance she was going to let her mother's will fade away, the bar was set high from birth and she would live up to her name as an Akizakura even if her identity had to remain concealed. She went from Genin to Jounin by the time the war had ended. It left her desensitized for a few months. Food did not taste the same, nor did she take pleasure in smelling the flowers of the garden around where her mother was buried. For a while she did not go to that place, but when she finally did, she ccould not help but to cry for hours for all the time her mother spent fighting to protect her from such horrors. In the end Namine was left alone to protect the ideals of the Akizakura from going extinct.
Namine matured mentally beyond her years, collecting experience and empathizing with the efforts and actions of those she had encountered along the way. She had become a master swordsman and had begun work as an illusory speciality. Believing that ending suffering could be done by teaching the value of love, and this core belief became the root of her teachings. She was even able to come to terms with her mother's death and forgave the world for taking her family at such a young age.
After that Namine grew into a stunning image of her mother with even greater skill as a Genjutsu artist and renowned swordsman. She spent days on end alone with nothing but her sword. She would meditate in the forests with only its company and delve into the memories the sword held within. Eventually she came to know each member of her family who had wielded the sword going all the way back to Kaguya Akizakura. In fact, she spent so much time training and meditating with Nuru-Kukan no Tachi she was shown a vision of its birth and creation. Before that moment, she was told by her mother that everything had a soul, even inanimate objects. She did not fully grasp that concept until knowing how her ancestors' sword was born. It was pulled directly from nothing, a point of zero energy, by none other than Kaguya herself, and given form and life using the principles of Yin and Yang. At that precise moment she felt a pensive connection between her and the sword, as if the soul of Nuru-Kukan was acknowledging her soul and her ownership of the blade as a true swordsman. This was a key event in her development as seeing the principles of Yin and Yang in action through her Kekkei Genkai gave her a new perspective on life as well as her swordsmanship.
Namine gained a newfound respect for life, nature and all that occupied this plane of existence. She studied long and hard on the aspects of Yin and Yang and the roles they played in the world. This knowledge of life that was gifted to her led to a deep appreciation of nature and so she started a garden next to the gravesite of the Akizakura clan. After beginning the garden and filling it with all different types of plants and flowers she felt it was still lacking, and in her mind a new path opened when she became aware of the void in her garden. The garden was her life, and it had an emptiness to it. There were no conflictions in her mind, Namine left that very day and spent her late twenties after the war all the way into her early thirties traveling the world in search for philosophical meaning in the world.
She met hundreds of people during these beautiful years, experiencing bounds of love and finding peace within herself, a certain kind of calmness overtook her during this journey. A type of gratefulness for her life that kept her content at all times, never needing more than what was given to her and never needing to rush anywhere. Her patience peaked, and she easily empathized with all the concerns and troubled of everyone she met. Whilst traveling and gaining knowledge and helping others she also collected hundreds upon hundreds of species of plants, making journeys back to her garden at home when she could to bring the many new species back to her home in Kumogakure.
When she felt whole and complete inside, and had grown comfortable with only herself and Nuru-Kukan, she finally returned home to a radiant, lively garden. It was beautiful with all the colors of the rainbow fitting in somewhere in her garden, so many intoxicating aromas drifting from her plants, and some colorful poisons lurking in the corners of her garden. Now that she had returned home, Namine settled down and became a teacher of philosophy, psychology, and a well-known kenjutsu specialist. She agreed to take any student willing to learn and adapt to her teachings.
So for a while Namine was content being one of Kumogakure's youngest Jounin-sensei, however she only ever led one squad of Genin before the First Raikage plucked her from the herd and requested that she humbly serve him as head of the Sensory Division and Aid to the Raikage. Only during times of war would she act as the literal head of a unit, whereas most of her day to day duties would be accompanying the Raikage. There was no choice but to oblige seeing as Namine had no other path to walk, no family to take care of, and very few friends that had stuck around. One such peer was Genmyou, whom Namine had been sent on several missions with after he arrived in Kumogakure.
The Antare clan was a prominent one in Kumo, and they back Genmyou throughout hit stay. The Akizakura were once very close with the Antare before the massacre of her clan. Because of this the elders of the Antare who knew of Namine's true identity sent aid to her throughout her troubled childhood, revealing themselves as her benefactor much later in her life when they helped her receive her promotion- not that she really needed their help, her skills often spoke for themselves.
This blend of occurences and relationships made Genmyou's transition into the seat of Raikage very fluid- albeit only for Namine. Aside from the Antare, the elders of Kumogakure did not take well to the Second Raikage at first. It was only due to their mutual relationship with the Antare that Namine did not mind abiding her servitude to a new lord.
Personality: Namine is a shy woman, though it does not seem this way due to her constant connection with the internal world, and her Kekkei Genkai being a bridge from the external world into her internal mind. She constantly switches between the two, from taking in all of the energy around her, to withdrawing herself into her own little bubble. She is pensive, forming opinions of others and scenarios based on not only her thoughts and emotions but from the emotions that others give off pertaining to what she is thinking about. She views the world as an analytical web spun from exchanges of energy.
She is a very aware woman who does not miss a beat, keeping up in conversation easily due to her ability to anticipate others' actions based on their feelings and body language, which her sensory abilities remind her of often.

Jutsu Name: Sakuzuke Ne (Planting Roots)
Jutsu Type: Sensory Ninjutsu
Rank: C-A
Effective Range: The range of Jibun no Shindo
Nature Type: N/A
Description: Upon placing a small portion of the user's chakra into a person or object, an Akizakura using the Jibun no Shindo can feel the location of where their chakra is at all times, meaning this technique is used to track objects and people that she has become a part of by placing her chakra within them, forming a bond of physical energy from the object and the Akizakura's spiritual energy. More skilled Akizakura can use this technique to obtain visual images of where the object/person sharing the bond is, or to obtain sensory information from the area.
By assimilating her chakra with another person, she is able to gain insight into their emotions, taking them on as if they were her own. These feelings must be balanced out within the user in order to correctly deal with them and keep her mind in order. In addition to feeling the emotions of the other, she is able to track their whereabouts by sensing the chakra within them. This allows for the simple application of certain Genjutsu as their is already a chakra connection established.
Drawbacks: Usefulness of the technique depends on the skill of the user and their progression with the Jibun no Shindo. A small seal appears on whatever she marks with her chakra. The mark would only be visible when she's paying attention to it and on the moment of contact. Perhaps it'd be more visible when she's paying more attention to the person it is on. Additionally, if someone has exceptional chakra control, they can either purge her chakra from their system, or isolate it given the proper effort and focus.
Jutsu Name: Chishikiji Douka (Information Tree Assimilation)
Jutsu Type: Ninjutsu
Rank: B-S
Effective Range: Touch
Nature Type: N/A
Description: The user of the Jibun no Shindo is able to touch an object and feel its properties, as members of this clan believe everything that has matter, has a soul. Thus by assimilating them into their own body they may borrow these properties for a short while via a connection between the object's physical energy and her spiritual energy. These borrowed aspects can be almost anything, and allow the user a variety of options in the midst of a fight.
Drawbacks: One assimilation requires a constant drain of chakra, multiple or full-body assimilations put strain on both the user's physical body as well as their mind due to the joint bond created by each assimilation
Jutsu Name: Itowohiku (Pulling the Strings)
Jutsu Type: Genjutsu
Rank: D-S
Effective Range: The range of Jibun no Shindo
Nature Type: Yin
Description: The ability of an Akizakura to force their will and emotions upon others after performing hand seals, for simple thoughts/emotions only a one-handed seal is necessary. By empathizing with someone, she can transfer subtle thoughts, suggestions and emotions to their being. These effects can be resisted but due to the subtle nature of this Genjutsu it is hard to realize that a Genjutsu is being afflicted. Skilled users can create entire scenarios in victims' heads that lead them to a set conclusion that feels logically sound, leading to deceptive illusions.
Drawbacks: It is a matter of willpower and awareness
Jutsu Name: Ryuutai Koudan (Fluid Story-Telling)
Jutsu Type: Genjutsu
Rank: D-S
Effective Range: The range of Jibun no Shindo
Nature Type: Yin
Description: The advanced addendum to Itowohiku, requiring three hand seals to activate. This technique allows the user to create an illusion based off of the target's emotions and desires. The illusion is very realistic in the sense that the user who is creating the illusion has the target's desires and will in mind, forming a story of sorts that the victim will play through as if it were actually happening, forming an elaborate world that the victim believes to be true. They have full sensory control as long as the victim believes the world to be true.
Drawbacks: The story will continue only as long as the enemy believes they are in reality. As soon as they logically assume the scenario is Genjutsu, it will end automatically
Jutsu Name: Kokoronokizu (Emotional Scarring
Jutsu Type: Genjutsu
Rank: B
Effective Range: Jibun no Shindo
Nature Type: Yin
Description: After establishing a connection with the Jibun no Shindo the user forms six hand seals to activate a Genjutsu which alters the opponent's sense of balance and direction, inverting their motor skills so that left is right, up is down, forwards is backwards, and vice versa. This illusion is an obvious one, though quite troublesome as all of the opponent's movements will be backwards, making even simple tasks like forming hand seals a challenge. This technique hinges on using the opponents reflexes against them, seeing as one would automatically jerk to the right if attacked from the left, it would cause them to move right into the oncoming attack, for example.
Drawbacks: Other than being an obvious illusion to skilled ninja, it has the generic Genjutsu weaknesses. In addition, intelligent or quick-witted shinobi can manage by intentionally trying to move the opposite limb to produce their truly desired actions.
Jutsu Name: Kaihousou (Open Wound)
Jutsu Type: Genjutsu
Rank: A
Effective Range: Jibun no Shindo
Nature Type: Yin
Description: This technique requires Namine to have already placed the target under Kokoronokizu. After applying the first layer this Genjutsu becomes the second layer she forms three hand seals. With the inverted motor skills already in place, this illusion then inverts the enemy's perception. Everything they see will be inverted, the sky being below them and the ground above, everything coming at them will appear to come from the opposite way. The opponent will then appear to be moving normally, their vision inverting their already inverted movements, so that someone under both techniques will not notice right away.
The initial inversion is much more subtle in this illusion than its predecessor. The opponent will not realize their inverted perception until their physical movements do not correlate with their desired action. As the realization of the inverted world comes to them they will experience feelings of disorientation, nausea and vertigo.
Drawbacks: This technique, again, plays on the opponent's reflexes in hope that they succumb to the base instinct to dodge in the appropriate direction, the resulting inverted failure being the devil within the details of this technique.
Jutsu Name: Rasenketsui (Blood Spiral)
Jutsu Type: Genjutsu
Rank: C
Effective Range: Jibun no Shindo
Nature Type: Yin
Description: This nuisance of an illusion is invoked by forming three hand seals, holding the third and remaining still in order to begin the illusion. Upon forming the third hand seal the target's vision will begin to spiral around the center of their vision, distorting everything outside of the center of focus. The longer Namine holds the third seal the more their vision will churn, eventually twisting until their vision is nothing but a spiral of twisted colors, indiscriminate from a kaleidescope of sorts. As they turn to look around the objects in their vision will spiral around the center of their focus, making it difficult to truly target an enemy's position and launch a precise attack.
Drawbacks: The user has to stand still and hold a hand seal in order to create the illusion. If the opponent can force the user to move before fully obscuring their vision into a blurred spiral the potency drastically decreases. Basic Genjutsu weaknesses apply.
Jutsu Name: Tabisou no Kiri (Fog of the Traveling Priest)
Jutsu Type: Genjutsu
Rank: B
Effective Range: Jibun no Shindo
Nature Type: Yin
Description: Namine first forms several single-handed seals, holding the final seal in order to cast this illusion upon her target. The victim begins to see trails from moving objects within their vision, blurring their perception of their surroundings in order to create temporary blind spots within their vision. The tails of the trails dissipate after a few seconds, fast enough where if someone stared straight ahead and nothing within their vision moved they would regain a normal perception after seven seconds.
Drawbacks: She must hold a single-handed seal to perpetuate the 'Fog'
Jutsu Name: Norou no Seika (Hymn of the Damned)
Jutsu Type: Genjutsu
Rank: A
Effective Range: Within earshot
Nature Type: Yin
Description: Namine forms twelve hand seals in quick succession to create the illusion. It begins by warping the opponent's sense of hearing, causing everything around them to sound slightly farther away than normal, and a bit quieter just after performing hand seals. This technique initiates a soft, high-pitched ringing upon activation that is entirely negligible at first but gradually intensifies to the point where it becomes a nuisance after about thirty seconds. After a minute it starts to drown out far away sounds, another thirty seconds later and it begins to dull sounds in the vicinity, and after five minutes it becomes agonizing to the point that it drives weak-willed shinobi who cannot escape it into a maddening rage.
Drawbacks: The time required to build up to its full intensity, number of hand seals and other standard weaknesses
Jutsu Name: Kiriyoku Nyusen (Chosen Will)
Jutsu Type: Genjutsu
Rank: S
Effective Range: Jibun no Shindo
Nature Type: Yin
Description: The technique can be activated when the opponent is looking at Namine, and when Namine is looking back at her opponent. An ominous presence fills the air to begin this illusion. Namine's demeanor usually takes a stark turn to begin this technique, her attitude becoming very dark. The opponent will begin to feel as though gravity is intensifying, thoughts of all of the most traumatic and horrifying experiences will flood their mind. All of their greatest fears will bombard them and torment them as fear itself paralyzes their movement, only the strongest willed Shinobi will have the ability to resist this part of the technique.
Standard Genjutsu weaknesses are hardly effective against this emotionally-tormenting illusion. A small amount of pain or a single attempt at using Kai will almost always fail to break this technique, as it is elaborately layered in order to cause as much mental havoc as possible in a short amount of time. The specific images brought to the victim are unique, they are created by the thoughts and feelings Namine gathers just by emotionally digging through people as she spends time around them. Thus, someone she has just met is hardly suscpetible to this technique, and thus the opposite being someone she has known for some time would be deathly afraid of this illusion.
Drawbacks: Simply looking at one another is enough for Namine to initiate the technique, although sufficient time must be spent around the opponent for them to be susceptible to this technique. Those who she knows more about are more susceptible. In addition, this technique is extremely taxing on her chakra reserves, leaving her fatigued after a single use.

Weaponry: On her wrists, there are tattooed generic seals that correspond with generic Shinobi tools, including but not limited to kunai, shuriken, senbon, ninja wire, explosive tags, kodachi, medical tools, flasks of water, flash bombs, smoke bombs,
Nuru-Kukan no Tachi (Null-Void Blade) - A blade passed down through the women of the Akizakura clan. The sword is very powerful, and grows with the user as it is wielded. It is never carried, merely summoned to the user's hand through a generic seal, which can be used to summon the blade regardless of its location. The blade is somewhat sentient in a way, as it contains all the memories and experiences of those who wielded it, and will give the wielder visions of those experiences and emotions over time to facilitate the growth of the wielder. Rare Akizakura members possessing the ability to 'feel' the memories of what they touch can access these memories and experiences on their own when called upon. Throughout the clan's history the sword is passed down from the oldest woman of the clan to her daughter, who is instructed to pass it onto her daughter, or in case of a woman born without daughters, to the next youngest girl in the clan. It is used for protection and growth, as a clan revolving mainly around matriarchal principles it is not abnormal to pass down such a powerful sword to young, developing kunoichi. The sword's power lies in its ability to neutralize energy. The primary function of the blade is to calm the wielder of the emotional stress put on them from their Jibun no Shindo, allowing clarity of thought amidst even the most tumultuous of situations. The blade's reputation of being incredibly powerful comes from the fact that it is ideal for disrupting and counteracting Jutsu (especially Ninjutsu) by nullifying the effects of chakra, however the blade comes at a cost. Wielding it outside of its sheathe comes with a constant chakra drain. As a practiced swordsman wielding this blade since her mother passed coupled with her stout chakra control she can wield the blade for up to one hour minutes per day without fatigue. Anything over and Namine begins to feel physical strain and chakra exhaustion.
