Name: Tatasuko, Zume.
Nickname/Alias: Suiteiru Meian(The Vacant Shade).
Gender: Male.
Age: 34.
Age Appearance: 34.
Sexuality: Heterosexual.

Village: Onteimura.
Birthplace: Unknown.

Organization: Unknown or N/A.
Clan/Kekkei: Tatasuko/Kusa Chūō no sei.
--The Tatasuko clan have long since withdrawn into the cave system they refer to as the Hahaoya no joumyaku(The Veins of the Mother) where few, if any, other shinobi tread. The majority of their clan are gatherers or hunters, with a small fraction of their ilk being shinobi and an even smaller fraction of their shinobi possessing their unique kekkei genkai. Most know their kind only as mysterious shades who lurk in the shadows and do their utmost to stay out of the world’s ongoings. Due to the Hahaoya no joumyaku spreading beneath the earth and throughout the world their specific location is unknown.

Rank: S rank.
Position: Clan Ambassador/Representative.
Chakra Nature: Mukōton(Void release).

Appearance:
This mysterious man, one of the few truly pure blooded Tatasuko stands at a generous 6 feet and weighs in at 185 lbs, his build toned rather than muscular. Beneath his clothing are worn metallic bracers of a pitch-black coloration, tainted by the void. In addition to this, despite his nature as a Tatasuko and inheritor of the Kusa Chūō no sei, which would darken his eyes permanently, he is typically seen with hazel eyes. This is due to a finely weaved illusion, a genjutsu with no name, but likely the rank of S as none can get around it. This ability is something he has honed to perfection, though there is little else in the way of illusion that he utilizes.

Personality:
Enigmatic, veiled in mystery and pleasant in his mannerisms, Zume is a rather cunning individual. While on the outside he appears a near perfect gentleman of high intellect and enigmatic interests, within he is darker, colder, and far more manipulative. Long has he toiled to perfect himself and in his own mind he has succeeded, literally. In this way Zume is entirely confident in himself in all things, even those that he has little talent for. He is unshakable in his own way and on many levels will resist the ploys of others, be they intentional or otherwise. Thus to others he appears a man entirely abhorrent of manipulation and deceit, of course that is only if you know him on an incredibly basic level, for in truth Zume is in fact quite deceitful to all around him. It is a marvel that no one, and that is said with absoluteness, has realized his trickery. For to others he is kind, reliable and honest. An intelligent man, yes, and definitely more than a little eccentric, but otherwise he is harmless unless provoked.

Of course, when provoked, Zume does not always appear so on first observation. Instead, he appears either more amused by proceedings or incredibly, horribly bored. This stems from his rather strange rage, which is not easily roused from its slumber in his soul. In fact, those who know Zume very well often say that despite having seen him angry, they always got the sense that he was still entirely in control the entire time. This is frighteningly true and brings with it many implications. First among these is that despite his emotional state, Zume remains entirely in control of his actions even if such does not appear to be the case. Second is the startling realization one gains when they come to know that not only is Zume in control at all times, but that he can rouse any desired mind state or emotion entirely on command. This lends to the fact that all who know Zume understand how great his self-control is, even if not to what extent.

When it comes to matters of friend, foe, and family Zume is very particular with how he deals with people. When it comes to family, they are both priceless, and expendable, or rather they are perfect tools for his machinations. When it comes to friends Zume appears incredibly loyal and helpful to near perfection. However, in the end it is almost surely a ruse for he lets so very few into his heart
.
While he is cold, it is difficult for one to truly understand just how much until they have seen him unrestrained against his enemy. Thus it can be seen that in battle Zume only enjoys himself when he needs not utilize the entirety of his deadly arsenal of skills. Otherwise he tends to find himself annoyed by the fact that he must consider his enemy an equal. This reveals another of Zume's vices, something that few know unless they delve deep into his true persona. In short, Zume is prideful and a measure arrogant as he believes that none truly surpasses his majesty. However, it is not in the skills of the body that he believes himself entirely superior, no, it is in the realms of the mind that he so places himself. In a sense, he is not entirely wrong. A fact that, should any discover his true nature en full, would frighten most, not that they would survive long to tell their tell...after all, the others didn't.

History: A considerably ancient man despite his appearance, Zume Tatasuko is a name that has echoed through history as one of the most powerful shinobi of ages present and past both. His power gained through both lifetimes of practice and as a gift from his currently dead brother, Shougaku, Zume is truly a force to be reckoned with. Nonetheless, his story is one of balance. If one truly wishes to know more of his past, they must simply ask.

Name of Weapon or Item:
Ōku no iroai ni musuko(多くの色合いへ息子 'Son to many shades')

Description:
"Drifting throughout, space and time dare not grace thy silver flesh. I implore, may I receive thy guidance, Ōku no iroai ni musuko." - Tatasuko, Zume.

A blade recovered from the central chamber of the Hahaoya no jōmyaku, it is plainly ancestral in its origins, and possesses a precarious balance between orderly control, and slovenly disordered chaos. The blade can be described as a physical, essentially inanimate construct of Mukōton. While it is technically composed of the Mukō, the blade has both the yin and yang attributes imperfectly in a state of constant combination and separation. From one moment to the next the blade almost constantly refreshes the bonds between the tangible and intangible realms. Yet there is more to this constant circulation, as between these currents of yin and yang, light and dark, male and female, good and evil, are pure expressions of Mukōton that the Tatasuko would find themselves jealous to look upon.

Composed of approximately 221 of these circulating patterns of yin and yang, merged by the void, the Ōku no iroai ni musuko's structural composition is incredibly complex despite its simple appearance. The majority of these circulations, the leading 200, move perpendicular to the blade's form and move around it constantly to form the refined tube that blades tend to be. The secondary 20 however move in alignment with the blade giving it its length, solidity, and cutting power in that sense. Lastly of course is the single pattern, which is often totally dormant at the very core of the blade running through its entire length from pommel to tip. This arrangement has made it so that unless an individual has mastered their yin and yang aspects, or conversely has mukoton, they cannot even wield the blade. An individual with mastery of the yin aspect, or simply genjutsu, can touch the blade on a mental and spiritual level but not on a physical one, they risk their body being devoured by the void of the blade. When one has mastered their yang, or taijutsu, they can hold the blade in a physical sense while its spiritual aspect will be totally lost on them; these individuals risk their mind being devoured by the blade.

This single length of typically inactive pattern is one of the blade's most important feature. While the other energetic movement patterns in the blade are circular, this center one is not and acts like a set of veins when activated. Upon activation of this central pattern it branches out and constantly sends tiny pulsing veins that weave through and around the other patterns at many times their speed. The veins that this creates allow the blade to exude and absorb chakra to some extent. The blade is typically only receptive to one to three types of chakra. In Zume's case these are mukōton, yin, and yang chakra. Though this blade is composed almost entirely out of chakra, absorption will not work as instead of actually touching the chakra it will make contact with the mukōton and thus will simply absorb nothingness from the void, which to essentially anyone is useless and simply takes up space without technically 'filling' anything. While in addition to this the blade's internal patterns can be partially externalized and changing the blade's shape can cause these patterns to shift respectively.

Externalization of movement patterns requires chakra to maintain. The chakra required is a constant amount. The more patterns, the more chakra. Externalizing the maximum amount of movement patterns requires chakra equivalent of a C rank technique per minute of use.

Appearance

====================

Name of Weapon or Item:
Bougu(Defensive armament).

Description:
Zume wears metal plates on his forearms, upper arms, the back of his neck, and to cover his shins. Additionally he has applied chakra infused armor over the area of his ankles to help protect the essential muscles there. The armor on his ankles is malleable but strong when something comes against it and thus has the resistance of iron but does not limit his movement. The rest of him is not really covered in armor though his normal clothing has an incredibly flexible layer of material sewed in-between two of it's layers allowing protection like that of leather armor. Other than this, Zume remains unprotected and due to this is not weighted down much, if at all, allowing his agile movement and speed to come into play without limit. All of these armaments are pitch black and have a strange depth as they have been deeply imbued with Zume's chakra.

Special Traits

Mastery and complete understanding of chakra, chakra systems, and Jutsu theory.
Knowledge of human psychology and physiology
Total Self-mastery: Mind, body, and Spirit.

=========================================
Techniques: Possesses all academy jutsu.

Custom Jutsu

Name of Technique: Hipparu no mukō kara(_{引っ張るの向こうから} 'to draw from beyond').
Type of Jutsu: Space-time Ninjutsu.
Rank: A.
Range: 3 yards(9 feet).
Nature Type: Mukōton.
Handseals: 4.
Description: With the execution of the 1st hand seal a greyish mist spreads from the user or any present void chakra. With the execution of the 2nd and 3rd seals the mist darkens till it is nearly pitch black. With the final seal the mist appears to gain a form of depth and from this depth the user can draw forth the energies of the void to their will. semi-pure voidal chakra is more potent than the void chakra that comes through the physical vessel.

Weakness: This is nearly an equal exchange technique, which means that the same amount of the user's chakra is taken into the void as is drawn out of it. The drain to open the gateway is rather small, but it is what makes the jutsu not quite equal exchange. --Zume can only utilize this through his blade(omit on the site).

====================

Name of Technique: Mukō no junka(_{向こうの馴化} 'Acclimation of void').
Type of Jutsu: Kekkei genkai Ninjutsu/Supplementary.
Rank: E-B.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: Mukōton.
Handseals: 3.
Description: This technique is something of and adaptation of Michibiki haha no te no and allows them not to simply guide the movement of their Mukōton chakra, but also to change its 'polarity' and purpose respectively. Essentially Mukōton chakra has a few different states, much like matter. It has solid, liquid, and gaseous states and it has three polarities: positive, negative, and neutral. The differences are as follows:

Weakness: Each state is shown with its corresponding weaknesses. Additionally Onmyouton(yin-yang release) chakra is effective against Mukōton chakra.

====================

Name of Technique: Tsunzaku tentō fukumen(劈く店頭覆面 'Pierce the veil').
Type of Jutsu: Passive Sensory Ninjutsu/Kekkei Genkai.
Rank: E-C.
Range: 15 yards(45 feet) hemisphere.
Nature Type: Mukōton.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: A lesser form than the fully developed clan sensory technique, the Tsunzaku tentō fukumen, unlike its greater form, only focuses on the areas of the developing Tatasuko's eyes aka their peripheral vision. While the true sensory technique, known as Genjitsu no shingai: Tsunzaku mukō ni shiryoku, accesses the world by first blocking out the direct senses and then weaving them back into reality via the void, this technique instead localizes their visual and otherwise senses in a specified area in which sensing becomes absolute depending on skill level. This technique works by expanding the user's yin-type mukōton invisibly into their surroundings and then utilizing it as a conduit for their senses, particularly their otherwise limited sight. This acts by giving the user continual high-speed snap shots/sensations of things moving or 'flowing' through the invisible Mukōton chakra. If the user closes their eyes this technique works in an entire 360 degrees, but becomes more difficult to understand.

Weakness: Especially weak to wind affinity. Earth has no effect, lightning can temporarily 'blind' her senses in a particular area for an incredibly short duration of time. Additionally this technique can be confusing if too much is being sensed via its use as it does not focus like the eyes but rather gives constant stimuli as long as her physical eyes cannot see said stimuli.

====================

Name of Technique: Chūō honshitsu o keikai(_{中央本質を警戒} 'Vigilance of the Central Essence')
Type of Jutsu: Sensory Ninjutsu/Kekkei Genkai.
Rank: C-A.
Range: 6 Miles.
Nature Type: Mukōton
Handseals: 3.
Description: When an inheritor of the Kusa Chūō no sei wishes not to weave their senses back into reality through the void, or spread void with which to sense, they will instead focus their perception directly into their unique eyes. As such, the eyes will become receivers of information for any of their senses as they wish, allowing them to glean a great deal of information at once and to sift through it for what they require for their purposes.

Weakness: This technique, while extremely useful, has the weakness of blinding flashes of light or objects obstructing the vision just as any normal sight would. However, this secondary weakness is partially gotten around by the use of multiple senses being perceived by the eyes rather than just that of sight.

====================

Name of Technique: Mukō kara shinri hitori(_{向こうから真理ひとり} 'Truth begotten from void').
Type of Jutsu: Kekkei sensory ninjutsu.
Rank: A-S+.
Range: Variable.
Nature Type: Mukōton.
Handseals: 6.
Description: Using the principles of both Tsunzaku tentō fukumen and Chūō honshitsu o keikai, a true master of the Kusa Chūō no sei's sensory abilities can execute this technique. First by utilizing Hipparu to mukō kara, though utilizing the handseals of this technique instead, the user will dispell yin aspect void around their body in a 25-50 meter radius, the former for those with less than average chakra, and the latter the upper limit for those with excessive amounts. Once this is done the user's perception is weaved outwards from their body and throughout the system of surrounding chakra, which is under the effect of a constant pull as long as it remains within the user's distance threshold. This pull stops those with chakra absorbtion abilities from taking in the chakra as any attempt to do so will be met with equal resistance. This pull also stops wind affinity techniques, if an enemy detects the chakra, from dispersing the invisible mukōton chakra.

Once the user has weaved their perception throughout what amounts to a non-physical mist, they can detect reality and what goes on in their surroundings both through their body and through an objective lense not affected by their body's physical—and subjective, senses. Like Chūō honshitsu o keikai the user can choose what, or how many, aspects they are perceiving at any given time, but like Tsunzaku tentō fukumen they can do so over the entire area that their chakra is dispersed over.

For those whose mastery goes beyond the norm, this technique can take on one other trait, becoming able to spread out further than the user's upper limit. An individual can generally spread their sensory range out to double their alleged upper limit however, by doing so a delay of several seconds is instituted to stimuli taken in by this sensory technique.

Weakness: Stay outside of the sensory technique's range or utilize fuinjutsu to absorb the chakra from the technique. The further the technique is spread from the user's upper limit the more delay there is in stimuli being transmitted to the user's body for processing. This delay, when the range is doubled is 5 seconds.

====================

Name of Technique: Genjitsu no shingai: Tsunzaku mukō ni shiryoku(_{現実の侵害：劈く向こうに視力} 'Infringement upon reality: Sight to pierce the void').
Type of Jutsu: Passive Sensory ninjutsu/Kekkei Genkai/Supplementary.
Rank: S+
Range: Unknown.
Nature Type: Mukōton.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: Due to the structure of their eyes and the Mukōton that quite literally surrounds and permeates them, members of the Tatasuko clan who possess the Kusa Chūō no sei cannot see normally. Instead they see through the filter of the void, as the void is transcribed over reality as a form of alternate space, a dimension if you will. Their chakra system, and their eyes are essentially a more impure manifestation of that void, they are in their own right...children of that void. Regardless, by perceiving in this manner the Tatasuko are able to focus their sensory capabilities, or simply let them be free flowing. On the other hand, if they enter a meditative state their sensory capabilities become rivaled only by the Rinnegan. This is simply because they see as the void might, it is like seeing the negative space. This method of sensing does something exceedingly unique, it removes the user's senses from the direct reality initially and allows them to instead bleed through the void and into this reality so as to make an even stronger, though indirect, bond with that which is reality.

While this technique is perhaps the most powerful of sensory techniques, it is impossible for the user to utilize it to its greatest extent in combat due to the sheer influx of information. As a result, even Zume, who is the leading master of this technique only has three functions for the technique that work within a combat situation. The first of these is his ability to sense the goings on of locales outside of a 30-90 meter radius to their greatest degree by processing it with the portion of his consciousness/soul not located within his body. This information is fed back to his brain as it is needed, the need being dictated by the other portion of his being. This keeps him aware of the on-goings of nearby locale, which are outside of the battlefield. The second thing this technique is capable of during battle is giving him a general sense of the world's cycles. Beyond these functions the user is only able to perceive through one "filter," aside from normal human vision. However, the acuity and range of the user's normal vision is greater. Shifting between "filters," takes a total of 20 seconds.

Weakness: While the user's ability to adjust their senses accordingly is incredibly advanced, their senses can be overloaded if quick incredibly powerful bursts of any given sense are applied. Additionally, damaging the eyes of the user will cause this ability to go haywire and will disrupt all of their senses rather than just their sight. Space-time manipulation abilities disrupt this somewhat, but the degree that they do depends on the nature of the technique.

====================

Name of Technique: Michibiki haha no te no(_{導き母の手の} 'Guidance of the mother's hand').
Type of Jutsu: Passive Kekkei genkai Ninjutsu.
Rank: S.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: Mukōton.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: Stemming from the Kusa Chūō no sei's sensory ability and the Mukōton chakra of the clan member's chakra system, this ability allows them to guide their void chakra with extreme ease. It is considered both basic and advanced manipulation ability. While sealing techniques can seal void chakra, it should be noted that releasing the void chakra from said seal in any fashion will just make it return to the void due to its link with the physical realm -via the user- will have been cut.

Weakness: Seals cut off the link needed and return controlled chakra to the void where it becomes inaccessible to the user. Space-time jutsu can also mess with this, the extent however varies rather greatly.

====================

Name of Technique: Sakasa(_逆さ Reverse).
Type of Jutsu: Ninkenjutsu.
Rank: B-A.
Range: Contact.
Nature Type: Mukōton.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: By applying Mukōton chakra to a bladed weapon and reversing its flow direction from inwards to outwards, the user causes a unique effect. When the blade makes contact with any substance it can blast things away from it, or it can focus this repulsion effect on its edge allowing it to cut through almost anything.

Weakness: Abilities specific to blocking, piercing attacks, and highly resistant materials can block this. However most will still eventually be cut through, it will simply take more time. Additionally 3 or so seconds of focus is needed to cause this effect as well as the user needing to maintain said effect. This can be countered in terms of affinity weakness, which would be onmyouton, wind, or lightning chakra.

====================

Name of Technique: Seijun no nentou karada(_{清純の念頭体} Purity of the Mind and Body).
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu,
Rank: A.
Range: Contact.
Nature Type: Mukōton.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: Using the logic of Sakasa and the void's normal tendency to take other things within itself and send it into the void space, this technique was created. By applying two types of void chakra to a weapon the user can cause the outer layer to absorb the yang chakra needed to apply physical force onto something, and then disperse it with the inner layer.

Weakness: This effect takes 2 seconds to actually work and requires 5-8 seconds of preparation. This can be countered in terms of affinity weakness, but it can only be completely countered with onmyouton chakra. This technique is best countered via pouring more force into any given blow and withdrawing before the 2-second mark.

====================

Name of Technique: Hahaoya no hōyō(_{母親の抱擁} 'A mother's embrace').
Type of Jutsu: Nintaijutsu.
Rank: C-A.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: Mukōton.
Handseals: 0-6.
Description: Normally this technique is a C rank jutsu, though its output is certainly effective, due to the fact that the jutsu works mostly on the inside of the body and thus expends less chakra in the long run. When utilized at C or B rank the body's void chakra is utilized outright and it amplifies the user's movements--in general--to much higher levels. This amplification is however not on par with something like the Lightning Release armor. When the user wishes to use it at B rank it requires a 5-10 second charge time and 3 hand seals. Once active the improvement of the user's movements stems to their strength in some aspects, but does not improve flexibility which means they can still pull muscles and such despite being able to utilize them more effectively. When the user wishes to utilize this technique at A rank, they must perform 6 hand seals and externalize a small portion of their chakra to act as a cloak around their body. This state is barely a step below the lightning release armor and if the user does not have a specialized sensory ability they will be at an extreme disadvantage. This technique, at A rank, allows them to move in a steady flow of high speed movement, but not in sudden bursts. This is achieved by essentially using Sakasa on the aura that surrounds them, which thrusts them forwards at extreme speeds.

Weakness: This technique does not amplify the user’s senses at all and thus their speed can be exploited. The void can be countered with onmyouton. At A rank the chakra consumption is higher due to the jutsu using a purer manifestation of void at that point.

====================

Name of Technique: Teido In-geru chichioya no (_{程度陰げる父親の} 'Royal domain of the blind father').
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu.
Rank: B.
Range: Contact-20 yard(60 feet) radius
Nature Type: Mukōton.
Handseals: Hold dragon.
Description: By holding the dragon hand seal and then utilizing Hipparu no mukō kara, the user can create what amounts to a portable barrier technique. This takes around 5-10 seconds to fully form, and is dependent on how large the user wishes to it to be. This can be anywhere from skin tight, to 20 yards radius in size. This barrier uses the flow of void to constrict and slow the movements of those moving within, unless they have a way to ignore its influence. Conversely the flow of it can be inverted so as to expel things from the void or slow things down that attempt to enter. Once the void area is active the user can condense or expand it to their will and they are no longer required to utilize the dragon hand seal. However, this barrier is not always portable and it will only follow, or realign itself around the user if the tiger hand seal is employed.

Weakness: Weakness elementally is onmyouton however; if a jutsu is considerably powerful (destructive A rank, or S rank) the void can shatter when it comes into contact with said attack. To activate this technique, the user must be stationary and thus defense is an essential during its activation. Lightning and Fire affinity are the best elemental counters to this technique as one will conduct throughout the barrier whereas the other may heat it, potentially causing it to shatter.

====================

Name of Technique: Shinshū-tekina chichioya no te(_{侵襲的な父親の手} 'Hands of the invasive father').
Type of Jutsu: Nintaijutsu.
Rank: C-A.
Range: Contact.
Nature Type: Mukōton.
Handseals: 5.
Description: Performing 5 hand seals and then wreathing one’s hands and arms in Mukōton chakra, the user begins this technique. A shell of solidified Mukōton chakra forms and beneath it is liquid void. Surrounding the shell is loosely bonded gaseous void, which flows off from the user’s arms easily and weaves itself within the rest of the chakra. The polarity of the liquid void is neutral, causing no push or pull as it circulates beneath the shell. While this is all and well the essence of this technique is what happens when the user hits someone. When someone is struck by their fist, hand, palm, etc etc the solid void cracks and cuts the target regardless of resistance. The liquid void chakra will become unstable and be pushed away from the inside of the pseudo-gauntlet and into the target's chakra system. Due to the unnatural manifestation of Mukōton and the fact that only those of the Tatasuko clan can truly withstand/bare its effects, the individual's chakra system will be polluted. However, only a small amount of chakra is imbued with each strike, thus the user must hit either with severe strikes, or more than once. The chakra will eventually begin to devour the chakra of the infected target until the person runs out of chakra and only has enough to stay alive. If the chakra is not removed within 2-5 days the infected individual's life force will be extinguished.

Weakness: The above technique takes approximately 5 seconds to form and stabilize, use before then will cause the gauntlets to disperse thus wasting chakra. Additionally he has to hit the person and the technique will remain active for a maximum of 5 minutes (at A rank). At B rank it remains active for 3 minutes and at C rank it remains active for a maximum of 2 minutes, though it typically lasts only 1.

====================

Name of Technique: Mukōi – Haha no kadoguchi(_{無効の胃 - 母の門口} 'The Void's Maw – Gateways of the Mother')
Type of Jutsu: Kekkei Space-time ninjutsu.
Rank: E-A.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: Mukōton and Dōton (borrowed).
Handseals: 1-3-12-24-36.
Description: Through executing up to thirty-six handseals the user will first begin to utilize Hipparu no mukō kara. While the voidal mist forms around them, a small amount of dōton chakra (which has likely been extracted from another individual) and otherwise material from the Hahaoya no jōmyaku, will be dropped into the mukōton. As such it will be linked to sacred cave system of the Tatasuko clan and a literal gateway of void chakra will open before the inheritor. This gateway can be opened to almost any other location that the Hahaoya no jōmyaku run beneath, which is almost anywhere. The dōton chakra can be excluded if something is being transmitted between two Tatasuko inheritors utilizing the jutsu in different locations to travel from one to the other. The E rank version of this technique takes essentially no chakra and utilizes one handseal. The E rank version will allow the inheritor to not only open a physical entrance to the Hahaoya no jōmyaku, but will also notify them where the nearest ones are and how to find them. Additionally the E rank technique will help them find their way through the caverns properly.

Weakness: Currently, locations that have defensive seals or the like cannot be gated into. This technique can be utilized in combat, but due to the preparation time, and required resources, it is mostly truly only useful for travel. A less difficult version of this technique can be utilized to transport objects or one or two people rather than many. The D rank version transports objects and utilizes 3 hand seals; the C rank version can transport large objects and one individual, it utilizes 12 hand seals; the B rank version can transport up to 3 people and utilizes 24 hand seals; lastly the A rank version can transport incredibly large objects and up to 8 people.

====================

Name of Technique: Antei-ka no fuin(_{安定化印術} 'Seal of stabilization').
Type of Jutsu: Fuininjutsu.
Rank: C.
Range: Contact.
Nature Type: Mukōton.
Handseals: 3.
Description: By utilizing a seal the user can stabilize a voidal construct. This allows them to make useful long term void constructs. --Zume has inscribed on the back of both of his hands, he will stabilize the nature of a voidal construct so as to utilize it long term(omit on site).

Weakness: Other seals can counter this effect, as can overloading the object properly.

====================

Name of Technique: Tamashī no yōki – Hankō-ko o chūshō-ka shita mono(_{魂の容器 – 反抗子を抽象化したもの} 'Soulless vessel – Abstraction of the defiant child').
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu/Clone technique.
Rank: S+
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: Mukōton.
Handseals: 16.
Description: Likely the single most advanced technique in the entirety of any Tatasuko's arsenal, Tamashī no yōki is a truly forbidden technique, for it brings forth life, functionality, and creation where there should be none. The process utilized to create this incredibly specialized clone will not be fully explained due to its rather convoluted nature, but what can be easily noted is that the clone's body is more durable than the individual it is made to represent, allowing it to take more damage than the user is able. Additionally, when utilizing mukōton, the Tamashī no yōki will amplify the utilized jutsu somewhat with its own essence. While the Tamashī no yōki can utilize the same jutsu as its creator, or any Tatasuko it has the chakra of, it does not drain itself when using these jutsu, instead it directly drains the user or Tatasuko clansman whose chakra the technique was drawn from. Tamashī no yōki clones are heavier than the individual that created them and as such will be naturally slower, but as mentioned will be more robust. The resistance, reliability, and durability of a Tamashī no yōki clone is so great that it can be hit up to thirty or so times (maximum) before it will fully degrade into a mess of uncoded mukōton chakra.

Weakness: Due to the fact that any technique, or manipulation, done by the Tamashī no yōki in question drains the user and not the clone's own store of chakra (unless otherwise programmed by the user), which is much smaller, it is not wise to make any more than two at any given time, and it is unwise to ever make more than four before allowing one's chakra to replenish. Tamashī no yōki clones are especially weak to Onmyouton chakra and will gradually degrade if they come into contact with it.

====================

Name of Technique: Tentai no ikari - seigen kaijo(_{天体の怒り - 制限解除} 'Celestial's wrath – Limit release').
Type of Jutsu: Kekkei ninjutsu; Kekkei fuinjutsu; Kekkei kinjutsu.
Rank: S+
Range: Personal.
Nature Type: Undefinable.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: A series of complex seals engraved upon the entirety of Zume's human manifestation; weaved with the transcendent energies of pure void and pure creation, this “jutsu,” was created during a time when Zume was not physically manifested after having died. These sigils were created with the express purpose of limiting Zume's potentially inhuman level of power to a manageable level. While this does not negate the abilities listed above, it does apply the limiters to his perception technique and the use of Ōku no iroai ni musuko. This limiter can be released, but only under very specific circumstances and for a maximum time of 5 minutes.

Weakness: This limiter will only temporarily deactivate when Zume senses a deep wrongness in the world, one that he cannot see as being feasibly solved by another. Should Zume near death, this technique will not allow him to obtain his full power unless his death relates to the previously mentioned circumstance.

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.

Foot Note: His scrolls and tags react specifically to his chakra and the chakra effectively acts like ink.

Specialized Weapons & Items:

Name of Item: Chōkin kōgu(_彫金工具 'Engraving Tool')

Description: A tool designed by Genmyou and members of the Antare clan, this pen-like tool works by transmuting chakra into a sort of ink, which can be directly inscribed upon specialized sealing paper. However, what makes the Chōkin kōgu a truly unique tool is the fact that it imbues chakra into the seal as it is created. As such, the more skilled the fuinjutsu practitioner and the more complex the seal, the more charge the seal will have. This is not the only boon to its use though as the pen does not just imbue chakra into the sealing paper, but actually engraves empty space that chakra is compelled to fill. This essentially means that, left alone, any seal created with this tool will draw chakra from its environment to fuel itself. Additionally, due to the multitude of fuinjutsu used in its creation and the specialized ones applied by Genmyou himself, it renders the kage immune to the effects of the seals constructed in this manner unless exceptions are written into those very seals. This is due to the fact that the pen, and its ink are designed to react uniquely to Genmyou's chakra meaning that if stolen, the device will not work in the hands of another and neither will the seals.

Appearance

====================

Name of Item: Kinko(_金庫 'Repository').

Description: A special tome with the thickness of a single piece of paper, the Kinko is carried on Genmyou's person at all times. The tome is possible by way of space-time ninjutsu, effectively allowing it to have hundreds upon hundreds of pages without ever becoming larger or heavier as the pages are not stored within the book in a traditional fashion. This also means, that to access any given piece of information, an individual must have exceptional chakra control, and know the proper chakratic codes to input so as to find particular pages. While the book does have an index, it is encrypted in a code that very few understand. Genmyou teaches this code only to those he trusts most...and he is very picky about whom he trusts. This also means that burning the book, or any similar copies, in a person's possession will not actually destroy the rest of its pages, excluding the index.

The knowledge connected to these books is thought to be stored somewhere deep in the mountain upon which Kumogakure sits. Genmyou typically keeps the Kinko folded up on his person.

====================

Name of Item: Inshō-shi(_印象紙 'Impression paper').

Description: Paper specialized for applying seals, Inshō-shi is designed to be exceptionally good at absorbing chakra. This makes it the ideal medium for the Chōkin kōgu, but also means it can be a useful tool in...other ways. The paper, while not fireproof, is capable of withstanding about the same heat as a human body without setting on fire, and is treated so that liquids simply fall off of it rather than adhering or being absorbed by its surface.

====================

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.

Custom Jutsu

Name of Technique: Yasashī shidō(_{優しい指導} 'Gentle Guidance').
Type of Jutsu: Shape-manipulation ninjutsu.
Rank: D-A.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: Variable.
Handseals: 3.
Description: This technique simply allows the user to gently guide their respective affinities by simply manipulating the chakra that makes them up.

Weakness: Seal their ability to manipulate chakra and the user becomes incapable of using this technique.

====================

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.

====================

Name of Technique: Chiten ijū no Jutsu(_{地点移住の術} 'Space Transmigration Technique').
Type of Jutsu: Space-time Fuinjutsu.
Rank: S.
Range: Contact.
Nature Type: N/A.
Handseals: 6.
Description: A rather simple fuinjutsu as Space-time techniques go, Chiten Ijū no Jutsu works by linking two spots, and only two spots to one another spatially via a sort matter swap. Essentially, one seal, upon contact with the user after being placed on a surface and activated via 6 hand seals, will scan all the information, energy, and matter of the individual, and then alter its locational information by swapping it with an equivalent amount of space. Upon appearing at the location of the second seal, the user must step off of the symbol within the space of 2 seconds or they will be returned immediately to their prior location as the space switches back. This also means that the seal typically works one way unless activated from one end, the space swapped, then a person steps onto it, but this requires reliable instantaneous communication between the two areas.

Weakness: Technically a one way jutsu. It is not very useful in combat either unless one prepares the battlefield prior and allows each seal to charge. Additionally, these seals charge solely with natural energy as otherwise they would require too much chakra to function regularly.

====================

Name of Technique: Kōshin kankei(_交信関係 'Communication link').
Type of Jutsu: Fuinjutsu.
Rank: A.
Range: Contact.
Nature Type: N/A.
Handseals: 12/1.
Description: To apply this seal to something or someone, the user preforms 12 handseals and moulds inscribes the necessary sealing formula onto whatever they wish to create the seal upon. Once inscribed, this seal, via contact if it is on a surface, or via a single handseal if on a person, allows anyone attached to the network to communicate telepathically. In actuality, Kōshin kankei works by one person speaking, and the sound of their words being transmitted, via chakra, through space directly to any corresponding seals, thus manifesting as sound information to the ears. As such an individual can whisper, but the sound will flawlessly reach anyone connected to it due to the seal translating it into audible sound information and sending it directly to the ear.

Additionally, it should be noted that Kōshin kankei can be utilized to transmit sounds over an area as well as to a specific individual. The seal is typically written with a small difference per individual allowing different people to be contacted via small variations in chakra, or sometimes, simply by stating their name. This is the equivalent of speaking over different frequencies and as such transmitting messages to multiple people is the equivalent of aligning everyone's frequencies so that everyone hears the same things.

Weakness: Requires a small amount of chakra to be utilized. The seal must not be damaged for it to remain functional. Requires preperation and is generally not used for combot purposes. Advanced uses of the technique require exceptional chakra control.

Name: Taraatsu, Akine.
Nickname/Alias: The Soul Thief.
Gender: Male.
Age: 38.
Age Appearance: 30.
Sexuality: Heterosexual.

Village: N/A.
Birthplace: Konohagakure.

Organization: N/A.
Clan/Kekkei Genkai: Taraatsu/Anoyogan.
A now dead bloodline, Akine is the last member of the Taraatsu clan, which was formerly a rather small time clan in Konohagakure before Akine murdered his father, relatives, and a number of innocents.

Rank: S rank criminal.
Position: Missing-nin.
Chakra Nature: Yin, Yang, Fire, and Water.

Additional Appearance Details: Akine is a lanky individual, standing at 5'11 and weighing in a paltry 180 or so pounds. He doesn't carry much on his person aside from his sword and shinobi tools.

History: Revealed Icly. Just know that he has been a terror to the shinobi world for over 18 years now.

Personality: A sociopath by virtue of his father's abusive and brutal training, Akine is predictable only in his violence, though not so in his execution of such. He is what one might call a chronic murderer, having become addicted to the rush he gets from inflicting pain on anyone, and nearly everyone, he comes into contact with. He is easily provoked, but not easily angered, only tending towards anger if he is looked down upon—this not to be confused with being underestimated, which he finds to be exceptionally hilarious. Bringing us to his skewed, and exceptionally pervasive, sense of humor, Akine is a thrill seeker who tends to cover his abominable actions with an almost feral grin. All in all, Akine is the type of person that one should avoid at all costs, as few fates are worse than what he would prefer to inflict upon you.

Name of Weapon: Gōyokuna-sai(_{強欲な-際} 'Rapacious-edge').

Description: An infamous weapon Gōyokuna-sai has existed for around two-hundred years and is surrounded by bloody myths. It is said that the weapon was forged by a man who went by the name Muramasa. It is one of many weapons that he forged in his day, but it is certainly one of the more notable ones. Having taken the lives of many a man, woman, and child, Gōyokuna-sai is a weapon that one might think possesses a mind of its own. Its dark influence capable of tainting the spirit of even the purest of men, it has gained its name due to the fact that anyone killed by its edge, or within a 40 meter radius can be trapped within it forever. As such the blade can be thought of as a repository of souls, thus revealing the reason for its corruptive influence as those who wield it are subconsciously exposed to the countless voices of the suffering damned trapped therein.

One of its most notable traits, Gōyokuna-sai, upon chakra being channeled through it, will begin to form purplish crystals within the small holes of the blade. The chakra will build up within these crystalline forms for 1 minute before gradually beginning to leak over the surface of the blade, bathing it in a sickly purple light. The released chakra is a manifestation of the torment of the souls that dwell within the blade, and as such causes similar torment to any who make contact with it. While actually incapable of harming anyone without the influence of a true chakra affinity, this purple fire causes immense mental anguish to anyone, except for the user, coming into contact with it for any period of time longer than 3 seconds. The fire is composed primarily of yin chakra and so its pain inducing effects can be likened to an A rank genjutsu that is activated via the sense of touch.

Appearance

====================

Name of Item: Pain pills and Adrenaline.

Description: A series of pills that largely numb pain and cause a significant boost in adrenaline thus allowing the user to fight for an additional 5 minutes per pill. Taking more than 4 pills within a 48 hour period will cause a heart attack or stroke. Akine carries 30 of these pills and resupplies them every so often.

====================

Name of Weapon: Snare Kunai.

Description: Effectively normal kunai with sealing paper wrapped around the handle, Snare kunai have a set of seals written on the tag on the handle. This seal links the kunai to the user's chakra allowing them to preform jutsu within the bounds of the kunai or from the kunai themselves.

====================

Name of Weapon: Koibito(_可憐 'Sweetheart').

Description: Their name a reminder of better days, the Koibito are a series of wicked daggers infused with the souls of Akine's loved ones. There are eight blades in total and in addition to having some rather wicked techniques tied to them, they double as a unique form of snare kunai. While they can be utilized to create an area of effect genjutsu just like snare kunai, the Koibito can additionally trap people in genjutsu once they have wounded them, specifically if they are stabbed into someone or made to cut their flesh, and are then held within it. Despite their bizarre shape, the daggers can be thrown with great precision, something that tends to astound his many enemies before they are promptly cut down.

Custom Jutsu

Name of Technique: Tamashī no kessatsu(_魂の結紮 'Ligation of souls').
Type of Jutsu: Kekkei ninjutsu.
Rank: B-S.
Range: 100 meter radius.
Nature Type: Yin and Yang.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: A guidance technique, Tamashī no kessatsu allows an inheritor of the Anoyogan to guide and manipulate souls unbound by physical vessels. So as to make these spirits more useful, the inheritor may imbue into them their own chakra, so that they may carry it in the form of jutsu, effectively making the spirits, or their own chakra, a vessel. The applications of this technique are, as such, quite numerous.

Weakness: Their eyes, destroy them and they lose this ability. Additionally, the technique requires focus and chakra to maintain, more focus than chakra. Its drain is a small constant amount, or a solid amount that allows for the given spirits to be utilized for a set amount of time.

====================

Name of Technique: Kenzen'na karada to kenkō kokoro(_{健全な身体と健康心} 'Sound mind with sound body').
Type of Jutsu: Kekkei ninjutsu/Shape-manipulation.
Rank: B-A.
Range: 100 meter radius.
Nature Type: Yin and yang.
Handseals: 3.
Description: The utilization of the initial handseal accesses the spirit body, or spirit bodies, that the user wishes to effect, whereas the second handseal dictates the form, and the third causes the solidification. Essentially, this technique allows the user to alter the shape of spirits under their sway, thus allowing them to create constructs by giving them the shape of an idea with yin chakra and solidifying them with yang chakra. The constructs can usually be dispersed by a technique of equal or greater rank. Conversely they can be countered due to structural weaknesses. A spirit that appears to be destroyed by another technique is in actuality sent back to the Pure world, thus ousting them from the user's control.

Weakness: Seen above.

====================

Name of Technique: Sōshō no nankaina karada(_{創傷の難解な体} 'Wounding of the esoteric body').
Type of Jutsu: Kekkei ninjutsu.
Rank: S.
Range: 15 meter radius.
Nature Type: Yin and yang.
Handseals: 10.
Description: By channeling yin chakra filled with negative intention and killing intent into a spirit under the sway of Tamashī no kessatsu and then giving those intentions tangible effects with yang chakra, Akine can send a spirit through a person in a variety of shapes so as to deal damage directly to an individual's chakra system. Notably, if all tenketsu are destroyed, the technique can actually be utilized to extract a person's soul from their body due to it no longer being tethered to such.

Weakness: Well, you know, dodge or block it with chakra based shields/techniques.

====================

Name of Technique: Enkakushi(_遠隔視 'Remote Viewing').
Type of Jutsu: Kekkei ninjutsu/Sensory.
Rank: A.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: Yin and yang.
Handseals: 3.
Description: Infusing a spirit under his control with yin and yang chakra, with a focus on yin, Akine links its perception to his own allowing him to see, hear, smell, feel, and even taste through the spirit. Additionally, as he is using the spirit's senses, he can faintly detect chakra, though he will have difficulty discerning one person's chakra from another. At least, he would if the spirit was incapable of also seeing the souls of the living--not to mention the dead.

Weakness: Not terribly useful in combat as it dulls his normally much sharper perceptual capabilities as he must close his eyes to access the perception of the spirit, or spirits he has utilized this technique on. Additionally he can only use this technique on a maximum of three spirits at once though it is not particularly chakra taxing.

====================

Name of Technique: Kinō-hō(_帰納法 'Induction').
Type of Jutsu: Kekkei-ningenjutsu.
Rank: D-S.
Range: 10 meter radius (max).
Nature Type: Yin.
Handseals: 6.
Description: Weaving the necessary handseals, the inheritor exudes a mist of yin chakra so fine that it becomes too thin to be visible upon release. This programmed yin chakra can induce genjutsu if breathed in, but its purpose is far more dangerous as a holder of the Anoyogan is capable of not only perceiving through it, but also guiding the chakra straight to a person. In addition to this, the chakra can be focused into a maximum of three seperate points wherein the genjutsu-inducing effects of the Anoyogan will be active. The act of focusing the chakra is however, quite visible as it causes a purple glow to pervade the area in which the effect is present.

Weakness: The glow is visible. The technique's use can be detected by anything that allows an individual to detect chakra.

====================

Name of Technique: Jinkō no sekai(_{人工の世界} 'Artificial world').
Type of Jutsu: Kekkei-genjutsu.
Rank: A-S.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: Yin.
Handseals: 8-10.
Description: Only useable once Kinō-hō is successful, this technique allows the user to mold a unique world from a mixture of the victim's subconscious and the user's conscious ideas. While this world will initially resemble how the victim perceives the real world, it will gradually change around them if left be. This form of the technique does not limit the victim's movement however, if the user intentionally imposes elements into the illusion that too drastically effect the victim's psyche, the victim will be rendered paralyzed till the technique's cessation or the removal of the drastic elements slowly over time. This illusion, at its strongest, is so powerful that it can actually last even once the user has ceased to focus on it, becoming almost like a parasite as it saps miniscule amounts of chakra from the host, amounts that very gradually rise over time. The resulting decline in the victim's health tends to take years to majorly incapacitate them, and slightly longer for it to result in their death. However, due to the long-term nature of the jutsu, its victims often come to develop a form of extreme paranoia and hallucination almost congruent with the effects of paranoid schizophrenia. However, the long term effects of this technique can be dictated by the user, allowing them to vary greatly between victims.

Lastly, it should be noted that the user can continuously create drastic differences between reality and the user's perceived reality, but must remain stationary whilst doing so. Additionally, these drastic changes are more likely to break the victim's forced suspension of disbelief.

Weakness: If you don't see them, then I really can't help you.

====================

Name of Technique: Jinkō no kangae(_{人工の考え} 'Artificial thought').
Type of Jutsu: Kekkei-genjutsu.
Rank: C-A.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: Yin.
Handseals: 4-8.
Description: The twin to Jinkō no sekai, this technique also requires that Kinō-hō is utilized successfully. Once this prerequisite is met, Jinkō no kangae can be utilized as long as the victim does not become aware it is in effect. While the thoughts and ideas created by this technique can continue to persist within the victim's mind after they become aware, they no longer feel the need to follow through with them and they gradually become more immune to the technique's effect. As such, those who have broken the influence of this technique before gain a greater awareness of it and thus resistance to it. Essentially, this technique allows the user to input thoughts, emotions, and ideas into the victim through making them highly suggestible. This technique is often utilized alongside Jinkō no sekai and vice versa so as to reinforce the effects of both. The effects of this technique, as with its twin, can be extremely long lasting, but in the case of Jinkō no kangae the reason is due to the fact that the technique can alter how the victim thinks.

Weakness: Complex ideas, emotions, or thoughts are far more difficult to impress upon the victim and it takes a master of the technique to make the thoughts sound like the internal voice of the victim in question. Akine is not a master of this technique.

Name: Shiso Amaguya.
Nickname/Alias: The Swimming Feline.
Gender: Female.
Age: 20.
Age Appearance: 20.
Sexuality: Bicurious.

Village: Sunagakure.
Birthplace: Sunagakure.

Organization: N/A.
Clan: Amaguya.

Rank: B rank.
Position: Team leader.
Chakra Nature: Water and Wind.

Additional Appearance Details: Shiso stands at 5'8 and weighs [EXPUNGED] giving her a toned athletic build. Rather than a forehead protector to denote her allegience, Shiso's ever present hat bears Sunagakure's symbol. The symbol is located where the “X's” are seen.

History: Shiso is proud of herself and her family is too, despite her strange habits, and she is a pretty well liked individual. Even since she graduated with top marks and perfect grades she has bettered herself continually. Gleaning knowledge of the medical world and then item creation she has allowed herself a rather broad range of masteries in a wide range of subjects. When she became a chuunin this all began to culiminate into one badass femme fatale. As a chuunin she became largely known for her specialty in suiton and abilities to just come out of bloomin' nowhere to take out her enemy with a series of precise jabs, dodges, and then restraints of water. As she became older and more mature her blunders became less and less and her skill became more and more solidifying her position as a jounin at only 19. She's been one since and has 2 years of experience under her belt. She is incredibly excited to begin teaching her team this year!

Personality: Shiso is clever, tricksy, slippery, fun, flirtatious, and loves life. She is not out for the greet power or the glory, but rather to have a good time, teach, and help those around her. She is a bit mischievous and when I say that I actually mean that she is incredibly so. Despite being a jounin she has a bit of a childish streak and is incredibly playful, which tends to remind people of the feline part of her alias. On the other hand, in terms of her living in Sunagakure, she is a very strange individual as she is one of the few that uses water-based techniques despite living in the middle of the desert. In this way she loves to stand out a bit and make her presence known. She is a tad showy when not in battle, though otherwise she can be an incredibly dangerous opponent. Despite her rather 'adult' tendencies and incredible flirtatiousness she has a strong fondness for children and secretly kinda wants to be a mommy one day.

She is incredibly loyal and even more protective of anyone who is lucky enough to get into the fold, take that anyway you want. She is kind, understanding, sympathetic, but she knows when things are serious and treats them as such if needed. Her more serious side is the side that very few people see and if they do see it, it is likely in battle when an opponent is truly frightening. This is what her fear has been turned into and she is said to have a near mastery of it. She can also be seen to be a secretly cruel individual when it comes to battle and it is a largely argued topic as to whether she is a sadist or not. In all truth though this trait is more related to mental trickery than anything and it is not actually something she truly enjoys, thus meaning she is indeed NOT what the rumors might pan her out to be.

Specialized Weapons & Items:

Name of Weapon or Item: Hi-oni enjintō(_{火鬼円刃刀} 'Flame demon scalpel')

Description: Carrying six of these huge scalpels, these weapons she can easily channel chakra through for surgery (as they can grow smaller as they usually are so she can carry them) or combat. The reason these are called Hiakkitou instead of jutsu scalpels is because when flame chakra is channeled through them they burn a blackish red and emit super condensed flames. When this is done it tends to be rather chakra taxing so she stays away from using that function too much.

Appearance

====================

Name of Weapon or Item: Neko no Tsume(_猫の爪 'Cat's claw').

Description: This clever contraption looks much like the melody arm but instead has two functions, it's primary function is the primary chamber which goes straight through it with one end opening aimed forwards and the other backwards. The secondary chambers are located above and inches away and only go several inches in and then angle inwards into one path that goes down and in a ring around the main chamber and continues in a line to the user's arm. The last specific appearance is the surface of this which is riddled with large sculpted dents that appear to be shaped to hold shuriken.

The primary chamber is utilized by summoning kunai from the Kuchiyose: Raika kenka seals inside the dents, and into the primary chamber. Once this is done the user channels wind chakra into the primary chamber, this forms pressure which causes the shuriken to be hurled through the chamber and out the front. The surface of this item can hold up to 10 shuriken and it can rapid fire these at high speed, this is specified in her custom jutsu.

Having started off as a medical nin in her younger days, Shiso has an incredibly adept knowledge of human anatomy and studies it most every day. As a new jounin and someone who has devoted their time to medical ninjutsu, taijutsu, and some minor normal ninjutsu Shiso has yet to master or even fully utilize her wind affinity.

Custom Jutsu

Name of Technique: Eisei no seido(_{衛生の精度} 'Medical Precision').
Type of Jutsu: Sensory ninjutsu.
Rank: A
Range: 40 meters.
Nature Type: N/A.
Handseals: 0-3.
Description: A technique built upon the foundations of medical ninjutsu, gentle fist, and the chakra sensing technique, Eisei no seido has two applications. The first of these allows Shiso to focus her senses on up to three people, thus allowing her to see the cross sections of their chakra system. On the other end she can use this technique to give her a general sense of who is nearby and what direction they are moving in.

Weakness: The former application of this technique is rather mentally taxing and as such Shiso is unable to use complicated ninjutsu during its use. In order to switch between the two modes Shiso must shift her focus, which tends to take roughly 3 seconds.

====================

Name of Technique: Chakra Enhanced Speed.
Type of Jutsu: Nintaijutsu.
Rank: B-S [-B-].
Range: Personal.
Nature Type: N/A.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: Possible due to Shiso's exceptional chakra control, this technique is a derivative of Chakra Enhanced Strength, wherein the user channels chakra throughout the body so as to amplify their nervous system and muscle reaction. This, as a result, allows the user to move at incredible speeds, making them far faster than your average shinobi. The technique is, at its best, capable of accelerating the user to the same speeds as the combination of the Body Flicker Technique and Lightning Release Armor. At its slowest the technique is still fast enough, upon initially accelerating, for the user to briefly disappear from sight. However, after this point the user leaves a continuous blur as well as a small amount of vapor.

Weakness: Shiso is incapable of utilizing this technique at its best at current time. Additionally, this technique, even at its lowest levels, causes a measure of strain on the body. Without the use of Haijo no enryo, Shiso can only use it for 3 minutes before it begins to damage her body. With the aforementioned technique however, she can maintain it for up to 20 minutes.

====================

Name of Technique: Haijo no enryo(_{排除の遠慮} 'Removal of Restraint').
Type of Jutsu: Nintaijutsu.
Rank: C-B.
Range: Personal.
Nature Type: Water and yang.
Handseals: 3.
Description: A technique that only need be activated once, Haijo no enryo is a derivative of Nan no kaizo, and effectively increases the user's durability, flexibility, and muscle elasticity. This is achieved by essentially utilizing the principles of chakra flow and Nan no kaizo. The user becomes far more resistant to blunt force, but retains a weakness to bladed or piercing weaponry.

Weakness: This technique, once activated, takes a very small amount of chakra continuously. Its other weaknesses have already been outlined.

====================

Name of Technique: Kaze naikatei(_風内火艇 'Wind Launch').
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu.
Rank: D-A [D].
Range: Personal.
Nature Type: Wind.
Handseals: 0.
Description: This technique allows the user to release a precision blast of pressurized air. At its lowest rank the blast will only move small objects, and will have essentially no damaging effect on a person unless it is used at point blank. The highest form of this technique releases a blast of pressurized wind in a small area, which is strong enough to send most shinobi flying or blast small holes through armor and people at point blank.

Weakness: Chakra cost becomes higher as the rank goes up. Additionally, the technique can only be utilized from the hands and feet.

====================

Name of Technique: Tsume no Jutsu(_爪の術 'Claw Technique').
Type of Jutsu: Medical ninjutsu/Nintaijutsu.
Rank: C.
Range: Personal.
Nature Type: N/A.
Handseals: 2.
Description: Working off of similar principles to Hien, the Tsume no Jutsu uses Chakra Flow through an object or a portion of the user's body to create multiple blades of chakra, usually in the form of scalpels or talons.

Weakness: Handsigns cannot be executed while this technique is active on the user's hands. Requires continuous focus and a small amount of chakra to maintain.

====================

Name of Technique: Muryō no Ryūsui(_{無料の流水} 'Free Flowing Water').
Type of Jutsu: Shape-manipulation ninjutsu.
Rank: C.
Range: 12 meters.
Nature Type: Water.
Handseals: 6.
Description: A dual application technique, Muryō no Ryūsui either allows the user to manipulate water in contact with their body or suffused with their chakra, or it exudes water from the pores into a stream that they can utilize to move in combat. This secondary application tends to form as a sort of “tail,” which surrounds their legs. However, it is possible for it to alter its shape due to the technique's first application.

Weakness: The shape-manipulation of this technique is not precise, meaning that the user could only slam the water into someone for damage. As such it is primarily a defensive or supplementary technique. The amount of chakra the techniques is average for a C rank technique.

====================

Name of Technique: Suiton – Nagare Shōgekiha(_{水遁 - 流れ衝撃波} 'Water Release – Flow Shockwave').
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu.
Rank: B-A.
Range: 9-18 meters.
Nature Type: Water.
Handseals: 8.
Description: Requiring that the user first continuously build chakra up for two minutes first, this technique is then activated via the 8 handseals. Once these prerequisites are met a powerful wave of water is released in 360 degrees from the user's body. The technique, during the “charging phase,” also gathers moisture from the air, and as such once the water settles it creates a 9 meter deep pool.

Weakness: Taxing on the user's chakra and requires preperation to utilize. This preperation means that the user cannot use any complicated ninjutsu without interrupting this technique's formation.

====================

Name of Technique: Araumi Chikadō(_{荒海地下道} 'Riptide Tunnels').
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu.
Rank: A.
Range: 15 meters.
Nature Type: Water.
Handseals: 12.
Description: Either exuding water release chakra or utilizing already present water, the user creates high pressure “tunnels,” of swirling water. Requiring incredible levels of chakra control, this technique allows the user to manipulate the movement and shape of these streams of water to utilize either for incredibly high speed movement or as weapons. Shiso can only utilize up to six of these 1 meter diameter streams and doing so requires 1/4th of her total chakra pool. If focused into a bladed format, the amount of pressure and the current of the water would allow the streams to cut through steel, though not if it is chakra enhanced. The streams of water are somewhat similar to Suiton: Suidan no Jutsu.

Weakness: Incredibly high chakra cost. Requires too much focus to utilize other ninjutsu while in effect.

====================

Name of Technique: Kaijin no ibuki(_{怪人の息吹} 'Sea God's breath').
Type of Jutsu: Supplementary Ninjutsu.
Rank: C.
Range: Personal.
Nature Type: Water and wind.
Handseals: 1.
Description: By exuding tiny amounts of wind chakra with an attractive effect to oxygen and utilizing it alongside water chakra, the user is capable of extracting oxygen from water so as to breath within it.

Sexuality: Hetero
Birthplace: Kumogakure
----
Organization: -TBA-
Kosui Clan:
History/Hierarchy: Natives to the Land of Lightning will likely know the Kosui name, though not for their strength or skill, but for their knowledge. The first clansmen and women were not nin, they were a very spiritual group who knew the land well. For generations they studied the life within the Land of Lightning, using the various flora and fauna for everyday and specialized use. Over time they were adopted into the shinobi lifestyle bringing with them their own kekkei genkai that had formerly been untapped. They are nowadays known for their natural remedies, poisons, and even fabrics.

Rank: Jōnin

Position: Heir

Chakra Nature: Suiton - Katon - Raiton

Manami is usually dressed in all white with her Hitai-ate tied around her left thigh, she also wears very little makeup other than some light-green eye shadow and her blue nail polish. Most notable is the white rose ornament fixed into her hair, this hairpiece has been a part of her "outfit" since she was a little girl.

History:
The Kosui Clan have brought many into this world, their clinics are usually occupied with at least one pregnant woman. Though when one of their own are born, it is not done under the supervision of a doctor, it is up to the parents to make sure their offspring has a safe birth. Manami was born a healthy baby to two caring parents. Her childhood was mostly normal, going to the Academy brought Manami's gift to her attention and pushed her to the top of her class. Being able to remember almost anything was a useful talent, though the fact that it gave her an advantage over the other students brought resentment along with it. Fortunately, she'd soon graduate and that would end her social cue for a while. Entering her teens, Manami began to shape into an outstanding Kumo-nin. Developing her own concoction and showing promise with the family's kekkei genkai. She'd finish countless missions with teams, alone, some even ranked far above what she were thought capable. Manami was on a one-way track to becoming the youngest Kosui to reach the rank of Jōnin.

Personality:
Manami is a humble girl. She is prone to quietly accepting orders whether agreeing to them or not, paying bills for people too lazy to pay themselves, or even listening to someone complain for hours upon hours for something she hadn't even done. But it's not that she is a pushover, Manami simply would rather take things upon herself with a smile on her face, than have others deal with it themselves and screw up. You could say she's a masochist, but not in the physical sense. One could also say she's an optimist, keeping a cheerful demeanor whether situation be grim or not. Manami is even known to be a bit on the immature side, laughing at things that someone younger would find humorous, or even partaking in mischief alongside younger members of their clan. All things considered, you shouldn't take this to heart, Manami is capable of analyzing situations on the fly and reacting to them almost subconsciously, she's effective at her trade and has earned her title 'Kirigumo" happily.

Name: Yuzuki Rei
Nickname/Alias: Rei-sama
Gender: Female
Age: 28
Age Appearance: Mid to late 20s
Sexuality: Heterosexual

Village: The Hidden Sand
Birthplace: Sunagakure

Organization: Suna Shinobi Forces, Yoru: Founder/Leader
Clan/Kekkei Genkai (or hiden): N/A

Rank: S
Position: Kage
Chakra Nature: Wind and Fire (Smoke Release)

Additional Appearance Details:

Yuzuki is not one to carry around a lot of tools or equipment with her, and as a result, typically travels very light with clothing that allows her to move easily. Her typical outfit consists of two layers: an under layer comprised of a long sleeved net shirt and black shorts and an outer layer consisting of a thin kimino like top and a hood that is usually bunched at her hips/waist. Her hair is always tied back in a ponytail with her bangs flowing free. Overall, Yuzuki looks young but mature at the same time. She stands at about 1.76m (5'8) and weighs in at a 65kg (145lbs). Her build is lean and athletic and she has an average curve at her bust and hips.

History: Yuzuki was born and raised in the Hidden Sand to a large family of exceptional shinobi. The first Kazekage praised her family for producing talent in nearly every syle of jutsu. Growing up as the youngest in this kind of family caused the young girl to be goal oriented from the start, and eager to earn her place among her family. While not an established clan in the village due to everyone marrying who they damn well pleased, her family tree just continued to expand, with no one bothering to establish a set of rules and traditions such would be expected in a clan. Thus, many of her aunts and uncles went off living in different places, even outside the Land of Wind, in search of quiet places to live.

Those who stayed helped Yuzuki gradually become a splendid ninja. Her parents in particular, though not always around due to being high ranked shinobi, always encouraged her to push herself and strive for the top. At that time when Yuzuki was just a pre-teen, Sunagakure was a small village, but with a population of close to two hundred thousand people. Though this was never a huge problem. People lived comfortably in their small houses and those who chose the life of shinobi never stayed in the village long enough to settle down anyway. Before the War, there were only about fifty thousand people who were active in the military (Chunin Ranked and above) and they were never concerned with protection of the village as much as they were drawing in profit via missions. The Kazekage was a fool to think that the Village's natural Desert and Mountain barriers were enough to protect them. Having been neutral at the start of things, they had never guessed they would become a target in the War. That was something that caused much damage to the village.

Yuzuki was eighteen when the war ended, and had lost her parents among other close people to her during the struggle. Sunagakure was devastated by the end of the war. Their militairy power reduced to only ten thousand strong shinobi that were Chunin ranked and above and their economic standing was poor for a long time. Many people were suddenly out of jobs and that resulted in thousands of sudden homeless and upset civilians. Though before his passing, the First Kazekage, Daisuke Morizashi, managed to bring up the village from its depression, leaving a list of future things to accomplish for the next Kage. He pased away when Yuzuki was twenty five. At this time, she had managed to raise herself in the ranks by doing daunting missions that no others would take. Due to her skills, she was soon chosen to be the next Kazekage, and officially began duties when she turned twenty six.

At present, the situation of Sunagakure is comfortable, as since she became the Village Leader, she completely changed the system of ranking and requirments to become shinobi, among other things including a fresh group of War Veterans as her advising council. The village is going through major construction to accommodate the large population of people, building upwards rather than outwards. While she still has much to do, she takes things one step at a time.

Personality: Yuzuki is not that hard of a person to understand. She's not mysterious or closed off, rather she is an open book. She is never afraid to speak her mind and hardly keeps secrets. She believes that knowledge and information is not to be kept for some people and not others and is a firm believer in protecting those who cannot protect themselves. Yuzuki is kind enough, not overly friendly but not a pain to be around. Her voice and demeanor might come across as nonchalant or bored depending on the topic. She can be quite the stubborn person. She doesn't easily let somebody persuade her, as she is the kind of person that first wants to see something with her own eyes before believing it. Though she doesn't judge people for their belifs or what others say, she judges strongly based on actions. And if she disagrees with somebody, she let's them know it, thought not to a point where she doesn't follow rules or instructions of her superiors. She sometimes speaks in a crude manner, using curse words to emphasize her points, resulting in mixed reactions from people. On the other hand, she is normally a kind enough and an open minded person. Wise, though a tad bit young at heart at times, she is someone who would make for a good person to talk to, about anything.

Specialized Weapons & Items: None

Special Traits
Advanced in Silent Killing
Good reflexes/stamina
Moves silently
Advanced chakra control
Large Chakra Reserve

Yuzuki has advanced chakra control after years of practice. She has the ability to project her wind chakra outwards and produce powerful ninjutsu without using weapons like many others with this nature type. She can detect enemies that are even well hidden and can feel the smallest gusts of wind caused by the slightest movements. She has good reflexes/stamina, moves silently due to being trained in Silent Killing. With her knowledge of chakra, she has developed a new form of ninutsu that utilize Fire and Wind nature chakra. She appropriately named this technique and derived jutsu: Smoke Release. While not a KG or KT, she is currently the only one able to use this type of chakra, though she is eager to teach it to others.

Name of Hiden Smoke Release (煙遁, Enton)

Clan: N/A Currently the only one able to use this type of Affinity is Yuzuki Rei.

Description: Smoke Release combines the chakra natures of Fire and Wind. Derived slighty from Ash Release, this specific Hiden is one that Yuzuki created herself. It requires the user to have large chakra pool as well as adept or advanced chakra control. In theory, anyone with the Fire and Wind affinities are capable of using this technique. By combining concentrated Fire Chakra with high speed Wind Chakra within the body, one is able to produce smoke and other gases without suffering any adverse effects of doing so. This technique is not capable of being replicated via copy ninutsu and requires (at first) extreme physical training of the body to adapt to the constant moulding and combining of chakra within ones chakra network. Due to the fact that Smoke Release requires precise chakra control, it is recommended that the user habitually practices chakra training techniques to ensure their control is always at top notch. This means that at times, one who is not capable of properly controlling their chakra or is running low on chakra, may not be able to effectively produce the Smoke.

Name of Technique: Smoke Release: Shroud
Type of Jutsu: Supplementary Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Range: Short to Mid
Nature Type: Smoke
Handseals: Dog and Tiger
Description: This jutsu converts the chakra stored within Yuzuki's body into hot, thick, black-colored smoke that is normally spewed from her mouth and nose into the air. As the name suggests, the jutsu shrouds the user and a large amount of their surroundings with the smoke; making visibility poor and allowing her to quickly make her escape or attack from cover.
Weakness: Though Yuzuki can see through the shroud, most times her allies cannot, making so she has to guide them through it or wait until they are out of range before using.

====================

Name of Technique: Smoke Release: Wave
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu - Offensive/Supplementary
Rank: B
Range: Short to Long
Nature Type: Smoke
Handseals: Dog, Rat, Ox
Description: This jutsu converts the chakra stored within her body into hot, thick, black-colored smoke that is forcibly expelled from the pores of Yuzuki's hand. The force of the expulsion causes the smoke to be blasted out in a wave-like shape, hence the name.The jutsu is used mainly as a form of surprise tactic to unbalance others more than cause injury. The amount is determined on the amount of chakra used.
Weakness: Most water-based counter attacks.

====================

Name of Technique: Smoke Release: Corrossive Gas
Type of Jutsu: Offensive Ninjutsu
Rank: A
Range: Short to Mid
Nature Type: Smoke
Handseals: Dog, Bird, Ox
Description: This jutsu creates a hot, corrosive smoke spewed from the users mouth that slowly burns away the target's skin. By infusing the smoke cloud with conentrated wind chakra moving at high speeds, this also inflicts slashing wounds that cause even more pain. If the smoke is inhaled, a toxic paralyzing poison is quickly spread through the targets body, rendering them immobile within a minute of exposure.
Weakness: The jutsu takes up quite some chakra.

====================

Name of Technique: Smoke Release: Exhale
Type of Jutsu: Supplementary Ninjutsu
Rank: A
Range: N/A
Nature Type: Smoke
Handseals: Dog
Description: Yuzuki expells smoke from every pore in her body, causing her to change shape/form into a cloud of smoke. She can move in and out of this state as well as move around freely by controlling the winds around her with her chakra.

Weakness: Cannot perform the jutsu while she is wet. Thus if she is hit with a water style move prior to use, it becomes impossible for her to do this jutsu. Likewise, if she were to be hit by a water style jutsu, she would revert back to her normal form. While in this form she is immune to physical, Earth and Lightning style jutsu. Due to her Smoke Release being comprised of Fire and Wind chakra, those types of Ninjutsu can disrupt the balance in her own chakra and may cause her to revert back to her normal form.

====================

Name of Technique: Secret Technique: Datenshi
Type of Jutsu: Supplementary/Offensive
Rank: S
Range: N/A
Nature Type: Smoke
Handseals: N/A
Description: Releasing smoke from all of the pores of her body Yuzuki causes it to rise, continuously adding more and more smoke as a general form starts to take shape. Once a significant amount of smoke has been added to the air, she begins to condense it, slowly applying chakra flow in order to shape wings, and a body from the thick obscuring smoke. Continuing to condense it further, she adds more chakra and smoke to tie the body and wings of the "fallen angel" together. Equipping the "angel" with shape transformation, she formulates two swords of smoke. Once finished, this dark angel towers over her as a protective figure, standing at roughly 30 feet tall (though size depends on how much chakra she uses and can potentially be much bigger), with fire circulating through its body. Yuzuki is able to control this angel as a form of attack, using it to bury the opponents in thick unstoppable smoke while poisoning them with the toxins found in it. She also use it as a mode of defense, jumping into part of it and using the "angel" as a large body of armor.

Weakness: In order to maintain this state of being, she needs to continue to subdivide and add smoke while maintaining the chakra that ties the angel together otherwise the angel will be blown apart by a strong wind. This constant maintenance is highly draining on her chakra reserves, though she has shown to be capable of maintaining this angel for a long time. Despite that, Yuzuki is still searching for a way to maintain her "angel" indefinitely.

Name: Locke Wind
Nickname/Alias: “Scourge,” “Captain,” “Bastard!”
Gender: Male
Age: 42
Age Appearance: 40
Sexuality: Heterosexual.

Village: No Affiliation (Neutral)
Birthplace: At sea (on the Cruel Knave pirate ship)

Organization: Cruel Knave Pirates
Clan/Kekkei Genkai (or hiden): Wind’s Curse

Rank: S
Position: Patriarch
Chakra Nature: Water, Wind, Lightning (Alt. Grog)

Additional Appearance Details:

History: Dare ask, and you’ll be lead astray with lies of grandeur. Locke lived his entire life among cutthroats and vagabonds, sailing the seas under the flag of the Cruel Knave, capturing and plundering ships, villages, and pretty much anything else worth eating, selling, or fucking. Vulgarity is a common mode of communication among pirates, so forgive this humble storyteller, as he depicts the crude life of Locke Wind. First of all, the name ‘Wind’ is not his true surname, but rather a title made up by his father, the previous captain. As refugees from the far west, Locke’s family came from the lowest caste, and made a befitting name for themselves across the oceans wide. Each pirate was taught to fight the minute they could firmly grasp a sword, and at their coming of age, they would be thrown overboard and have their will tested against the elements. Locke’s particular lineage became most revered for their powerful magic, which allowed them supreme control over storms, and thus a tactical advantage on the high seas.

At the ripe age of twenty eight, Locke seized control of his father’s pirate ship, after the death of his old man in battle. He was seen as a liability to the older sea dogs, who would frequently attempt mutiny against him. It was over these years that Locke earned his most important scars, picking and choosing which of his allies were correctly titled, and who deserved to die. Of course, the latter option is situational, and Locke spared little for his paranoia. Death was part of the job, after all, it became romanticized, among the violent. Skip many a year of successful raiding, and a good half of Locke’s life forgotten through the blurred glass bottle, and you’ll come to a point in his life where he would’ve done it all. Forty two years old, now, and still yet dragged to the depths blue. His pride and story would be told across the western ocean, and yet his satisfaction was never met. Tall tale of mighty warriors in the east flowed through the grape vine, stories of ninjas who could walk across the water, and summon demons to their aid, could only boast for a mighty adversary. Ancient and magical treasures, new women, and a different array of alcoholic beverages… what pirate could ask for more? The Cruel Knave sailed east, in to the world of the shinobi.

A year long trek would ensue for the Eastern lands, and it was over this time span that Locke Wind’s curse would come to fruition. Handed down by every patriarch of the Wind pirate captains, a strange aura expunged from his body, and his sanity slowly tipped over the deep end. Whispers infiltrated his mind, of grandeur, and violence. Locke turned his alcoholism in to a lifestyle, and could never be seen without a bottle in hand. Anyone who questioned him would be made a play thing to his insatiable insanity, and the whispers turned paranoia in to insomnia. Not a single ship crossed would be spared, and only the most skilled of shinobi would get away, in order to warn the villages of his ever encroaching threat. The curse manifests here, where he’d no longer care about his fame, but only seek the destruction of all other glories. Whatever he seeks now, be it a treasure or power, his life now hangs in the balance, as his will is twisted by the voices in his head.

Personality: Vulgar, belligerent, and vicious a kin to the wild dog, Locke was never the man you’d imagine to dine with the queen. His whole life was spend without remorse, or petty empathy, the weak died, and the strong usually were the ones to kill them. He cares little for anyone deemed useless to him, and won’t think twice about gunning down a man in the heat of suspicion. Age has only made him wise, and his affinity with electricity has kept him sharp witted, and quick on the draw. His cunning allows him to feign ignorance, and he won’t hesitate to undermine his neighbor, if it means the slightest step ahead in his own agenda. Sinful and destined for hell, greed informs, wrath commands, and envy motivates.

Base Weapons & Items:
- The Tickle Trunk, an enchanted treasure chest
- An arsenal’s worth of swords, axes, guns, cannons and knives

Specialized Weapons & Items:

Name of Weapon or Item: The Tickle Trunk

Description: It looks like a normal treasure chest, albeit four three tall, and four feet wide. Many sealing runes have been engraved across the chest, enchanting it to become a treasure hoarder’s best friend. At the bottom of the chest lies a powerful space-time pocket boasting several acres of open space. This treasure chest was looted from a marooned shipwreck ten years ago by Locke, and it has served as his personal treasure hoard ever since. In it he keeps an arsenal of swords, daggers, guns, beverages, and piles of gold, silver, cutlery and tupperware that deny sight of the chest’s true floor. Weight is mitigated by seals, and etched runes enforce the chests bindings to near invincible durability. The Tickle Trunk is by far the most magnificent treasure ever looted by Locke’s fleet.

There are three keys to the legendary Tickle Trunk, each opening a different space. Locke is currently in possession of two, and actively seeks the third, which he knows exists, since there are 3 different lock holes. The first key opens a portal to his treasury, which is the one most used. The second keyhole opens a pathway to the very depths of the sea. If tipped sideways while the second portal is open, a continuous stream of water will pour out until the chest is stabilized upright.

Special Traits
Moderately fast, his speed can be enhanced through abilities.
Incredibly durable, considering he is part undead.
Moderately large resource of magical essence.
Master of wind and water magic, expert in lightning spells.
Skilled at improvised elemental control.
Reliable when drunk, ignorant to pain.
Greedy and easily motivated by treasure and personal gain.
Wise, but otherwise not that intelligent.

Name of Kekkei Genkai/Hiden/Kekkei Tota: The Curse of Captain Threy

Clan:

Description: Many years ago, a legendary pirate by the name of Threy Wind existed, and attained the title of scourge of all seas, within his lifetime. Nearing the end of his reign, Threy struck a bargain with a powerful devil, of who would bestow upon him ‘immortality’ in exchange for his fame. Tricked in to accepting this immortality, Threy was possessed by the demon, losing his sanity and life in the process. Their spirits merged, and cursed became of Threy’s entire bloodline. Each son to seize control of Threy’s galleon each would succumb to the curse, which blinded them all in one eye, where the spirits would begin to manifest. Three generations would fall, each bent to the will of the demon, leading down to Locke, who just recently began to endure the more hefty effects of the curse.

Locke is an undying zombie of a man, and though his exterior appearance might look lively, his innards are completely deteriorated. His liver is no more, and the bile that has become of his organs and stomach acids are acidic and poisonous by any apothecary’s standards. Years of constant drinking has replaced his blood almost entirely with alcoholic ooze, which has numbed his innards, leaving only the nerve endings in his hands and legs intact. Due to this altered biology, Locke is completely immune to all poisons and venoms, and highly resistant to acid. His magical essence has become toxic as well, making it difficult to sap magic (or chakra) from him without great drawbacks. His undead body is incredibly resistant to physical harm, and can regenerate quickly as long as he has some form of alcohol in hand to substitute the ‘blood’ loss. If struck in the brain, Locke will still die… however, the demon and Threy will survive until the right eye is pierced.

Dark spirit magic is a minor ability under Threy’s belt, who speaks whispers in to Locke’s brain, guiding him in battle and life. With one glance, Threy is able to determine the morality of an individual, by visualizing their evil intentions. Truly noble people are hard to track for Threy, unless they frequently display bursts of spirit energy. In a way, Locke has a sixth sense allowing him to visualize spirit energy, alike many other optic powers, however he has little control of it himself. A major downside to this curse is its control over Locke, forcing him to only follow evil deeds, which often earn him many enemies.

=========================================
Techniques:

Name of Technique: Acid Upchuck
Type of Jutsu: NinjutsuPirate Trick
Rank: B
Range: 50 feet
Nature Type: Acid
Handseals: 0
Description: A spray of concentrated stomach acid is shot out of the mouth. The concentration is capable of dissolving the flesh and eroding steel over a short period of time.

Weakness: There is a limited quantity of this acid, and it requires at least a bottle’s worth of chugging an acidic drink, to perform at higher levels.

====================

Name of Technique: Spitfire
Type of Jutsu: NinjutsuPirate Trick
Rank: A
Range: 30 feet
Nature Type: Fire
Handseals: 0
Description: After consuming alcohol of a higher percentage, Locke is able to spit a large ball of fire from his mouth. Using his grog magic, he can control where the flaming ball goes, and who to trial by fire.

Weakness: A match is required to light the ball aflame, otherwise it’s just a big ball of booze.

====================

Name of Technique: Drunken Haze
Type of Jutsu: NinjutsuPirate Trick
Rank: E
Range: 100 feet +
Nature Type: Water / Grog
Handseals: 0
Description: Variants of this trick exist, by spraying water or grog from the mouth, or manipulating water in the atmosphere, a thick haze can be created, making it difficult for anyone to see far with their naked eye. The grog mist is far superior for combat, as it allows Locke to inebriate his opponent, or quickly lock on to them, since alcohol has essentially become an extension of his own body.

Weakness: Requires booze, and lots of it, depending on how big a haze is needed.

====================

Name of Technique: Inglorious Belch
Type of Jutsu: NinjutsuPirate Trick
Rank: B
Range: 50 feet
Nature Type: Air
Handseals: 0
Description: A powerful burp, creating such a vibration in the airspace, that it is capable of altering wind currents, and deflecting any projectile under a few hundred pounds. This technique doesn’t actually require a burp, since Locke has trained himself to control the necessary elements in a storm, however a belch empowers the technique twofold.

Weakness: This is not a technique for the sneaky.

====================

Name of Technique: Trial of the Storm
Type of Jutsu: NinjutsuPirate Trick
Rank: S
Range: 30 feet / 100 feet with minimal accuracy
Nature Type: Lightning
Handseals: 0
Description: A bolt of lightning is summoned from the sky, to strike a skyward pointed and conductive weapon, such as a sword. Within the timespan of a second, the conductive item must be swung, and the lightning bolt will be redirected in the direction of the swing. This technique is especially effective in a thunderstorm, and can be used to counter lightning techniques from other sources. Locke has trained himself to manipulate air currents, allowing him to sap lightning from other wizards and ninja who manipulate it.

Weakness: If there are no clouds in the sky, this technique will simply not work.

====================

Name of Technique: Rain Dance
Type of Jutsu: NinjutsuPirate Trick
Rank: E - A
Range: 100 feet +
Nature Type: Water & Wind / Lightning
Handseals: 0
Description: Locke conjures the wind and water in the immediate atmosphere, and taps in to the forces far above. Doing a jig, albeit funny looking, warms up the air surrounding him, and once the heat rises, clouds will form and a downpour will eventually be summoned. An advanced version of this technique requires half the activation of ‘Trial of the Storm,’ in order to summon a powerful thunderstorm weather phenomenon.

Weakness: Depending on the climate, this ability might instead summon hail, or in drought areas, waste too much magical energy (chakra) for but a small drizzle.

====================

Name of Technique: Release the Kraken!
Type of Jutsu: Summoning
Rank: S+
Range: Indefinite
Nature Type: N/A
Handseals: 0
Description: If there’s one thing Locke sympathizes for, it’s the kraken. “The lil’ wriggler be too cute!” So he says. After a long battle with the creature, he eventually decided to spare its life, by instead trapping it and forcing it in to a summoning contract. The scroll is on his person at all times, and will activate only when Locke’s tainted blood touches the runic circle. The Kraken is a powerful, gigantic squid, hundreds of feet tall, with large tentacles each able to crush a ship in one coil. Its black ink blood can be sprayed over a long distance, pummeling and blinding anyone stricken. What truly put the kraken apart from being just an overgrown squid are its strange regenerative properties. Its tentacles do not simply die when cut off, and will flail wildly for hours afterwards. The process of regeneration is slow, but visible, making the creature a very difficult monster to kill.

Weakness:When not in a large body of water, the kraken’s mobility is hindered greatly. In rain, or if the ground is wet, it will gain the energy needed to move around and survive, however summoning the kraken in drought weather will render it absolutely useless.

====================

Name of Technique: Berate by Bilge Rats
Type of Jutsu: Summoning
Rank: B
Range: Indefinite
Nature Type: N/A
Handseals: 0
Description: Lured by a slab of meat, or cheese, Locke can summon a horde of infested bilge rats from the confines of his enchanted treasure chest. Anything marked with the smell of meat will be targeted by the rats, and often enough, they will seek out and attempt to devour the flesh of a man, since Locke often starves them for this purpose.

Weakness: Although there are thousands of rats, they are each subject to being killed by area of effect attacks, making this a limited use-ability.

====================

Name of Technique: Improvised Keelhauling
Type of Jutsu: NinjutsuPirate Trick
Rank: A
Range: 50 feet
Nature Type: Water
Handseals: 0
Description: After summoning, or obtaining a specified quantity of water or grog, Locke can riddle the stream with sharp weapons or pieces of shipwreck, before barraging his opponent.

Weakness:This technique is very situational, it can only be as powerful as the resources used.

====================

Name of Technique: Quartermaster’s Command
Type of Jutsu: NinjutsuPirate Trick
Rank: S
Range: 50 feet
Nature Type: Lightning / Wind / Animation
Handseals: 0
Description: Similar to the keelhauling ability, but specifically designed to control metal weapons using electromagneteism, and a touch of demonic animation. This trick allows several swords to be swung and controlled in the air at once.

Weakness:This requires the user have many swords, and concentration must be focused on this ability. If more than two swords are being animated, Locke will not be able to maintain or cast any other spells or tricks.

====================

Name of Technique: Rig of the Rapscallion
Type of Jutsu: NingenjutsuPirate Trick
Rank: A - S
Range: Indefinite
Nature Type: Grog
Handseals: 0
Description: Ninjas aren’t the only ones who can make clones of themselves! Locke designed this spell after having to deal with many in battle. A couple bottles of grog are all he needs to create the rapscallion, a temporary clone of himself. This trick works just like the bushinjutsu, however differs depending on how in control Threy is. If the demon’s power is overwhelming, such as when Locke is unconscious, the rapscallion will not lose its form if stricken, but continue to reform and fight. An advanced version of this trick requires a higher volume of alcohol, allowing the rapscallion to be lit aflame, and continue fighting like that.

Weakness: Unlike bushinjutsu, only one clone can be active at a time, and if the rapscallion is a clone of Locke, and not Threy, it is more susceptible to defeat.

====================

Name of Technique: Lightning Raid
Type of Jutsu: NintaijutsuPirate Trick
Rank: A
Range: Personal
Nature Type: Lightning
Handseals: The amount.
Description: After tempering his body with electricity, Locke can boost his speed several times over, and keep up with swift ninjas, even in his old age! This burst of speed can double his agility, or multiply it further, depending on how much energy is put in to the trick.

Weakness: Maintaining a speed buff takes constant energy. Locke would be depleted and fatigued if he kept this ability up for over ten minutes at once, although he can easily get away with using it in short bursts without growing too weary.

====================

Name of Technique: Typhoon Shanty
Type of Jutsu: NinjutsuPirate Trick
Rank: A
Range: Indefinite
Nature Type: Wind / Water

Description: On the echoed wind of a battle cry, Locke will conjure the wind to his bidding, summoning forth powerful typhoons to wreak havoc on the area around him. At sea, the typhoon sucks up water and has a much more powerful physically destructive force. On land, a tornado is instead summoned, which is faster, but less fierce. Swings of his sword, and belches, help the wind gather with force.

Weakness: The start-up time of this trick makes it unreliable for split-second combat. Without a strong gust already in effect, this ability can take upright a minute, thus they usually require other techniques to prepare for this.

====================

Name of Technique: Kill Devil, Bane of Ships and Flesh
Type of Jutsu: Pirate Trick
Rank: B
Range: 20-60 feet explosion radius
Nature Type: Fire / Grog
Handseals: 0
Description: This trick is less magical than it is simply a weapon, however concentrating the rum and gunpowder together requires more than just dexterity, and this variant has only been seen crafted by Locke. The extract is spat out from Locke’s bowels in to a flask or bottle, and laced with gunpowder. The final concoction is a powerful explosive, fifty feet or more in diameter.

Weakness: Relies on the materials used in its construction. The concentration takes time to manifest in Locke’s stomach.

====================

Name of Technique: Make ‘em dance the Hempen Jig
Type of Jutsu: NinjutsuPirate Trick
Rank: S
Range: 40 feet
Nature Type: Wind / Grog / Animation
Handseals: 0
Description: This is Locke’s most powerful offensive trick using the wind all around him, and it requires that he tap in to his ‘sixth sense’ which is in truth Threy’s demonic animation. Manipulating the airspace around a target, Locke will force his victim airborne using a sneakily calculated whirlwind and physical animation. Once stricken or dazed, the target is then denied oxygen, as the wind is steadily sucked away from the storm’s eye, and spun around them violently in a tornado. The victim is thus forced to brave the cutting wind, else die of asphyxiation.

Weakness:Anyone with a high level control over wind magic or jutsu will be able to break free. This technique also requires steady calculation of where the opponent will be, in order to catch them at the tornado’s center. In addition to this, maintaining the technique long enough to actually kill an opponent takes a good sum of Locke’s resource.

====================

Name of Technique: Gaze in to the Abyss, Davey Jones Locker
Type of Jutsu: NingenjutsuDemonic Possession
Rank: S
Range: 30 feet
Nature Type: Demonic
Handseals: 0
Description: This technique can only be used by the demonic spirit, Threy, and requires Locke’s right eye make visual contact with an opponent’s. The demonic half of Threy’s personality will immediately attempt to possess the victim, and the result always varies. Most often, the victim will be blinded, if their spiritual power is not strong enough to resist being possessed. Mild to strong resistance will mitigate the blindness to a mild blur and headache, opponents with their own optic based magic would have a strong resistance. Exorcists, and experts in optic magic can fully ignore this powerful spell.

Weakness: The demon can only attempt to possess one victim at a time, and if it does, any magic involving animation that Locke attempts will be weakened greatly until the demon returns.

====================

Name of Technique: Dead men tell no tales
Type of Jutsu: NinjutsuPirate Trick
Rank: A
Range: 30 feet
Nature Type: Wind
Handseals: 0
Description: A very effective way of shutting someone up, by tapping in to the air in their lungs and forcibly sucking it right out. This trick is most effective when the target is speaking, and most easily activated when Locke takes a powerful breath in, while facing his opponent.

Weakness: This trick doesn’t work on enemy wind manipulators easily, and absolutely requires the target’s mouth be open. It’s effects are not continuous, however, meaning the victim can gasp for air afterwards, however it is a very effective trick to stall for time, or daze an enemy.

====================

Name of Technique: Grog Blossom
Type of Jutsu: NinjutsuPirate Trick
Rank: B - S
Range: 30 feet
Nature Type: Water / Grog
Handseals: 0
Description: Depending on the percent of alcohol in an individual, Locke can biologically attack his enemies. With one shot’s worth of any booze, steady manipulation of it within an opponent’s body allows Locke to bypass their liver, and make any man buzzed off minimal liquor. Two shots will put a man on their ass. If three shots worth are consumed, and the alcohol is Locke’s personal grog essence, he will be given the option to shred the inside of his opponent’s body using that liquid, as long as they are within range of him.

Weakness: Can only be used if an opponent has consumed an alcoholic beverage, or Locke’s own grog.

====================

Name of Technique: Haul Wind
Type of Jutsu: NinjutsuPirate Trick
Rank: A - S
Range: 20-30 feet
Nature Type: Wind
Handseals: 0
Description: The power of this trick varies depending on who is using it. Locke’s method uses wind currents to alter the course of projectiles, and allow him some aerial combat maneuvers, such as redirecting the course of a long jump, or giving himself temporary flight. Threy’s haul wind uses more demonic animation, allowing him a stronger grasp on projectiles or enemies in his immediate surrounding. When Threy is in control, his demonic aura expunges, testing and feeling his surroundings, at any moment he can choose a specific location to focus his wind force on, allowing him to counter pressures of a thousand pounds by sheer force alone.

Weakness: Locke’s variant is quite weaker, and incredible focus is required to actually manipulate or control heavier objects, or enemy spells.

====================

Name of Technique: Parley with the Devil
Type of Jutsu: NinjutsuPirate Trick
Rank: S
Range: Indefinite
Nature Type: Demonic Animation
Handseals: 0
Description: If an opponent has been visually possessed by Threy’s demon, and they do not immediately cover their eyes or force the phantom out, they will be subject to being fully possessed over time. Depending on how easy it is to take over their body, the demon will begin to tamper with their sanity, speaking glossolalia in to their mind, at first, before eventually trying to assume physical control over their body.

Weakness: Time is of the essence, and the full effects of a possession can take anywhere between an hour, to several weeks to fully execute. Killing Threy will subdue his phantom side until another member of Locke’s family grows of age. The only other way to handle this technique is with the help of an exorcist, or with an incredibly strong spiritual will.

====================

Name of Technique: Shiver ya’ Timbers!
Type of Jutsu: NinjutsuPirate Trick
Rank: A
Range: 5-20 feet
Nature Type: Lightning
Handseals: 0
Description: As static electricity is gathered through constant motion, air currents, and the clashing of steel, Locke has learned to harness it in the thick of battle. Most frequently applied to his swordplay, static sparks can be channeled through connecting steel weapons, targeted at conductive points, or released in a sort of electromagnetic pulse. If an opponent is struck by this static electricity, their nervous system will be shot for a split second, causing them to freeze and be stunned for the duration of that second.

Weakness: Inaccurate if the opponent is a wind or lightning user, or if they do not carry conductive instruments on their person.

====================

Name of Technique: Embrace of Charybdis
Type of Jutsu: NinjutsuPirate Trick
Rank: A
Range: 10 – 300 feet
Nature Type: Water
Handseals: 0
Description: At sea, or with enough water covering the ground, Locke is able to make gravity out to be an incredibly dangerous thing. By steadily manipulating any water located under or around his target, he is able to assail them with aquatic tendrils, suck them in to a muddy prison, or drag them beneath the water to drown. If Threy’s power is most prominent, control over the water is doubled, allowing him to create whirlpools, spouts, and shaped aquatic monstrosities at will.

Weakness: Scenery dependant, this technique cannot be used if the entire ground isn’t covered in water, or the fight isn’t taking place at sea or on a lake.

====================

Name of Technique: Ghost Ship & Crew
Type of Jutsu: Summoning
Rank: A
Range: Indefinite
Nature Type: Spirit
Handseals: 0
Description: This technique is only usable by Threy, who manipulates many of the minor spirits under his command, most of them being the earthbound ghosts of his former crew mates. Each spectral mate will immediately search out a medium, often being an elemental resource, abusing the element to take on a shape and fight for their wicked master. Golems of earth, wraiths of echoing wind, wisps of fire, spectres made of water, and phantasms of electric energy are the five elemental minions that can be summoned.

Weakness: Each ally gains the strengths and weaknesses of the element they choose.

====================

Name of Technique: Walk the Plank
Type of Jutsu: GenjutsuPirate Illusion
Rank: B
Range: 100 feet
Nature Type: Water
Handseals: 0
Description: An illusion enchanted in to the mist, this technique activates if anyone dares tread too far in to Locke’s haze. Their next step after it’s activation, will lure them in to believing they fell off a cliff they did not see, and in to an ocean, with a powerful current that continuously drags them under.

Weakness: If an opponent avoids the mist, they avoid the technique entirely. Area of effect abilities that evaporate or blow away the mist will also remove the effects of this illusion, otherwise it is not a typical genjutsu, and cannot be ‘kai’d’ out of.

Village: Iwagakure
Birthplace: Iwagakure

Organization: N/A
kekkei tōta: Dust Release inventor, the technique is still new and untested in battle.

Rank: S
Position: Second Tsuchikage
Chakra Nature:
Fire
Wind
Earth

Additional Appearance Details:

Ren's entire left arm is wrapped in bandages from the fingertips all the way up to the shoulder as well as his right hand. He never wears the standard Kage uniform except for the hat which he enjoys wearing to just keep the sun out of his eyes.
Height: 1.75m
Weight: 173lbs


History: Ren never knew his parents as he was raised as an orphan in Iwagakure during the early years of the village just before the Shinobi war. He grew up wanting more from his life and early on made a promise that he would one day earn a name for himself as an amazing shinobi that would protect the village. At early age of seven there was no such thing as the a shinobi Academy in Iwagakure as those who showed promise with chakra and were of age were immediately given the rank of genin and trained by a jonin. This allowed Ren to practice his skills on lower end missions that did not present much risk but one the war broke out between the Hidden Villages, even the genin were called to action right away.

The young ninja quickly learned of the hardships that came with losing friends on the battlefield which was a tough mental load to endure. Three years into the year he gained the rank of chunin for his actions that had distinguished him among the other genin and given another four years of fighting he raised to the rank of jonin. During this time in the war it was not uncommon for the younger generations to gain early promotions as Iwagakure needed all the man power it could get to defend their land from anyone that tried press in on them.

He somehow survived the next five years of hard fighting before he was given his first solo mission to hold an important canyon that led directly to Iwagakure from a group of ten Suna shinobi that had made it through the larger battlegrounds and roaming patrols. He knew they had given him a suicide mission to hold off the group until reinforcements could arrive to finish off the shinobi, but he knew his duty and would do it till the end. After two days reinforcements arrived to relieve the jonin only to find that the Suna shinobi had actually been eliminated by Ren leaving the entire landscape changed from the fighting.

Because of this small skirmish, Ren was given the name the Immovable by his fellow Iwa shinobi and the Tsuchikage took notice of him. His name soon became known in Iwagakure and within a few more years the war finally ended. The relief was wide spread throughout the Land of Earth as the fighting would finally start to wind down and post-war reconstruction could begin. It was finally a time for Ren to slow down and relax for the first time in years without the threat of dying.

Two years later while practicing some combination jutsu was when the Dust Release technique was created on accident while using the three nature chakras. This earned him much renown within the village for developing a new powerful technique for Iwagakure though he had no intention of teaching the technique to anyone else. Within a year after the creation of Dust Release the Tsuchikage resigned from his position as the leader of the village as he felt it was his time for a younger generation to step up and take their place in history. During the time between Kage, Ren's name was put up for election along with several others who were looking promising.

Eventually, the young shinobi was selected as the next Tsuchikage who would lead the village to farther glory. Now for the last six years the man now known as one of the leaders of the Shinobi world had protected his village and handled dealings justly with the other villages as he has seen fit.

Personality: Ren Matsuoka is probably one one the most stubborn people you could ever meet. He is fiercely loyal to Iwagakure and would do anything for the village which is one of the reasons he ended up as the Tsuchikage. As the Kage of the village he is always thinking about the well being of the village as well as the citizens that live within. He always hates sending ninjas off on missions where there is guarantee of fatality.

In the down time of being the Kage, Ren has been known to enjoy a few bottles of alcohol with his good friends from his days before becoming the Tsuchikage. He also has a strict routine of training that he fits into his spare time that allows him to practice and keep his skills honed. Ren's attitude toward the other villages is one of caution as he still remembers the Shinobi War and his friends that passed away at the hands of the shinobi of the other villages and clans.

History:

Ryuunosuke was an extremely driven and brash ninja, always wanting to be the best, and to prove himself in battle. He took whatever risk he could if it meant he could show his mettle. His dream was to become famous. His skill was quickly earning

There was one failure however that he could never let go, and forever frustrated him. A chain of missions he came to dub ‘shade’ hunting. A mysterious individual who had mastered seals. Every time Ryuunosuke took one of these missions, he felt like a fool by the end, always falling headfirst into some trap. It made him more determined to catch this shade. His frustration was never ending, and soon he turned to a source he’d never looked to before, to books and scrolls, trying to figure out how he could best the anonymous man. Soon he evaded more and more traps, and he felt like he was coming close to touching The Shade, to meeting him.

Ryuunosuke’s search was put on hold however when the First Shinobi War broke out. He was quickly realizing his dream faster than ever, earning the moniker ‘The Crimson Phoenix’ for his mastery of Cloud Style Flame Beheading with his bo-staff during the war, leaving trails of flames wherever he fought.

However, a fateful turn would occur during the war. After a fierce combat against Leaf Combatants, the cloud forces were encouraged to pursue them. Something felt wrong with it. Ryuunosuke recognized the trap just before it triggered, managing to dodge out the way. Sensing the trap had been triggered, the Uzumaki clan turned, attacking the small force.

Being the only one who could fight, Ryuunosuke turned to face them. He was badly outmatched, and it didn’t take long for them to tag him with a seal to suppress his chakra, to prevent him from casting jutsu. The leader of the group, Kotaro, approached, telling Ryuunosuke it was pointless, as the Uzumaki were the strongest seal users, and he had no way to fight back, his body would break if he tried.

Ryuunosuke welcomed the invitation. In a bid of desperation, he poured his chakra directly into the seal, releasing all the chakra he could muster at Kotaro. The attempt resulted in an explosion, most of the chakra smashed back into his body, damaging his chakra system in the process. As the smoke cleared, the rest of the group moved in, grabbing Kotaro. As they pulled his body back from the smoke, they found his head had been completely seared off.

Ryuunosuke laid panting against a tree from the effort. He stood up again defiantly against the group, knowing he was outmatched. Pouring his chakra into his staff again for his signature technique, he found nothing happening. His body wouldn’t listen. It didn’t even feel like he even HAD chakra.

Then, even as the group got their wits about them a smoke bomb sailed through the air and struck ground right between Ryuunosuke and the enemy shinobi. Ryuu would hear someone land next to him, followed by the man’s voice, “You really got yourself into one hell of a situation,” he whispered even as a fireball sailed through the smoke.

The man, who Ryuunosuke would see was masked and robed, merely raised his blade, allowing the fireball to strike it and then immediately disappear as a result. “We’re getting you out of here alive, and I do mean we the robbed man said, grasping his blade.

Ryuunosuke tried again to flood his staff with chakra, but failed to. He spat at the ground.

“I can’t use any chakra. The crimson phoenix without any flames, I’m not even a ninja right now.”

The man exhaled sharply as he heard the fool’s words, but he didn’t reply right away. Instead, he rushed forwards right into the midst of the Uzumaki, and swung his gilded blade. The first was taken entirely by surprise and it was his undoing, evidenced by the gore, which spilled from his open wound while he fell backwards.

Ryuunosuke’s ally didn’t stop however, instead he jumped onto the man’s body, pushed off of it, whipped his blade out to alter his course, and landed on someone’s head, bending down as he toppled and stabbing a kunai deep into his eye socket.

The robed figure then spun, taking out five men with his great sword in one fell swoop. Another lunged into the opening and placed his hand on the figure’s back. The seal formed, then immediately crumbled even as he swept the man’s legs from beneath him with one leg and then slammed his foot down on his head when he hit the ground.

The remaining shinobi stared at the grey and white clad man, but he wasn’t looking at them. No, he had locked eyes with Ryuunosuke, and as he did he spoke, “Not one jutsu and eight men are dead.”

Ryuunosuke couldn’t help but look in awe. Who was this guy? He felt some natural respect to him, and he didn’t know why exactly. But he was right. There was still a way.

He had his staff, and that was enough.

“Time for a phoenix to be reborn.”

He rushed headfirst into the group. Between the two, the Uzumaki clan had to fled, and not one man of his station had been killed.

Ryuunosuke did pay a price for pushing the seal however. His ninjutsu never came back to him. However, he felt indebted to the man who had saved him, and as long as there was a way, he decided to keep pressing forward.

Without his ninjutsu, he had to learn discretion, he had to learn how to fight intelligently, and began studying even more ardently. He persevered the war, fighting through many important battles as handicapped as he was.

As soon as the war ended, Ryuunosuke disappeared. He was declared missing in action due to respect for his actions rather than rogue.

Ryuunosuke determined he was going to overcome his handicap if he was to be a proper ninja. He travelled and trained for 4 years. He never neglected his studies, and began to notice all the little things of nature, and of small towns. He observed how he and the animals around him moved.

One particular thing eventually inspired him, watching a dragonfly hunt, how it stayed in a point of vision. He grew more intelligent and strong, becoming much stronger than before he lost his jutsu.

As quickly as he had vanished, he reappeared in the Cloud. To his surprise, Genmyou had become the Raikage. To his relief, he gave him a pardon. And so Ryuunosuke resumed his life as a ninja. He was well noted for his observant mind, and eventually became an advisor to the Raikage.

Personality:

Ryuunosuke acts brash and forward, though it belies his methodical nature. He’s, over years, learned to slow down much more than in his younger days. He believes strongly in the saying “Haste makes waste”

====================
Name of Technique: Rising Phoenix
Type of Jutsu: Bojutsu
Rank: B-ranked
Range: Short
Description: Ryuunosuke’s signature jutsu, out of spite to those who would use jutsu against him. It leans all of Ryuunosuke’s momentum into an upward staff strike, coming out much faster than most of his hits.

This jutsu is spiteful to a ninja attempting handsigns, as its speed can catch them off guard. If they keep their hands together to continue the signs, the technique can break them. If they move them out the way in time, their face is directly behind it.

Weakness: It’s range is very specific. Too close, and Ryuunosuke doesn't have enough room to perform it, and at longer ranges, his staff won’t reach.
