Name: Tetsujin, Iyana.
Nickname/Alias: N/A.
Gender: Female.
Age: 16.
Age Appearance: 16.
Sexuality: Unknown.

Village: Kumogakure.
Birthplace: Kumogakure.

Organization: N/A.

Clan/Kekkei Genkai: Tetsujin/None.

Rank: Genin(D rank).

Chakra Nature: Lightning, Fire, and Wind.

Other Appearance Details:
She stands at roughly 5'3 and she weighs average for her size. Iyana wears her head protector around her neck.

Personality: With a cool, but reckless, temperament, Iyana is a sly girl who has no problem saying exactly what's on her mind no matter if it is rude or completely insulting. Holding a blunt mentality and a rather straight to the point approach to most situations, Iyana is a tomboy, disliking girly things for the most part and pretty much refusing to partake in that kind of thing. A bit of a tsundere, Iyana will begrudgingly accept compliments or attempt to brush them off, while secretly blushing or hiding her face. Regardless, she generally dislikes most things that the other girls enjoy, like flowers, dresses, and looking cute. Boys on the other hand do interest her, though she will tend to either ignore them, or look down on them as the less elegant of the sexes. Thus she is more or less an outcast.

With a bit above average intelligence, Iyana prefers to be by herself, and is comfortable as such, for the most part. Tending to do this, she will often entertain long trains of thought, allowing herself to consider a myriad of possibilities. Thinking herself more mature than her peers despite her stubborn, unyielding nature, she will offer her help to those she logically deems weaker, or dumber, than herself. Beyond this though, she will stay out of people's business unless someone explicitly asks her for help or she is directly confronted at which point she may decline anyways. Additionally it should be noted that, while she does have a reckless nature, she is in fact not short tempered, preferring to keep her anger under control unless of course certain anger triggers are hit. When such does occur, the girl tends to go cold with rage allowing her to retain her logic, but still easily express her hatred and anger towards the one who dared to stir her temper from its slumber.

Still, below her tough exterior is, at the very least, a girl who has been hurt. She doesn't trust easily, but when she does you've got yourself a friend of undying loyalty...as long as you never break that trust that is.

History: Born to a loving family, Iyana was happy throughout the early years of her childhood till, at the tender age of eight her mother died while out on a mission. Withdrawing into herself from the grief, Iyana at first became a quiet girl and then, after being bullied at school and taking a dislike to her father, who was on the mission and thus took the blame from his daughter, she developed a rather rude, almost bullying personality. Gradually she came to dislike the other girls and their luck, their femininity, even trying to hide her own body as she gradually bloomed.

The academy didn't present much of a challenge to her, in fact it was an annoyance as she was forced to deal with the petty children day in and day out. She was pretty happy, or as happy as she really got, when she graduated and got her own team. At least then she would only have to deal with them. Then, training for the last few years, she managed to get skilled enough to create her own style of combat. Proud of her and her teammates their sensei decided to enter them in the chuunin exams two years ago. Except, Iyana refused to enter, considering the majority of the contestants were 'below her' in both maturity and ability. While her sensei didn't disagree, he couldn't exactly say such so he simply lectured her, which she pretty much ignored, and sent her off to train. Ironically that had been her goal to begin with. Thus for the last two years she's been training and now has it in mind to beat the living shit out of whoever thinks they've got a chance.

Specialized Weapons & Items:

Name of Weapon or Item:
Short swords

Description:
Two chakra conductive, japanese short swords, their blades are roughly 1.5 feet in length, with their total length being roughly two feet.

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

Name of Weapon or Item:
Chisoku gyōretsu(遅速行列Velocity matrix).

Description:
A particularly special katana given to her by her deceased mother, Chisoku gyōretsu has an intricate seal etched onto its form. This seal, in tangent with the chakra conductive metal that it was forged from, creates a figurative space within the blade where there is none in the physical sense. This sealed space can be accessed only by the Iyana and the blade's creator. This space is formatted by the seal itself, causing any chakra conducted through the blade, regardless of elemental affinity, to be sped up or slowed down a particular amount depending on the will of the user. This will, by default, cause the blade to become sharper as it acts much like a high frequency blade, making it able to cut through even metal should enough chakra be conducted through it, or utilized properly by a skilled user. This blade does have a sheath, but it is actually sealed on the inner facing portion of Iyana's left forearm.

There is a seal placed on her right hand that corresponds with it, allowing the girl to draw the blade fully out with sheath attached, or to quick draw and unsheath the blade directly from the seal to go straight into an attack. With practice, Itana could learn to unsheath the blade whilst within the seal and then draw it out immediately. The blade is made to be especially durable so as to withstand extreme amounts of pressure. This is so that it can properly withstand the rapidly moving chakra that it is made to contain. There is a secondary set of seals placed on both the blade and Iyana's left hand. She is currently unaware of what the properties of these seals. There is some kind of mechanism on the grip of the blade, but she is unable to activate it at current time.

Appears as depicted in her profile picture.

Kuchiyose: Raikō Kenka(Summoning: Lightning Flash Blade Creation): Linked to all weaponry and the palms of the user's hands in this case.

Custom Jutsu

Name of Technique: In'ei kabaa(阴影カバー 'Shade covering').
Type of Jutsu: Nintaijutsu/Supplementary ninjutsu.
Rank: D-A. [D]
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: Variable.
Handseals: 4.
Description: Coating her entire body with a cloak of chakra, Iyana can utilize her incredible level of chakra control to further manipulate the chakra in the cloak, which is actually around two times the amount necessary to coat her body, allowing her to extend various portions of it or even form extra limbs, similar to the cloak of a jinchuriiki, though she has never seen such a thing. This cloak of chakra is conductive of other chakra, allowing her to channel elemental affinities into it to add additional effects. At the moment she only has access to her lightning affinity, thus she can only utilize it to amplify the cutting ability of her body as well as her natural reaction time and physical speed. Regardless to this, the cloak itself can be used for other purposes, making it a highly useful and adaptive technique.

Weakness: Variable depending on the element and the particular use however, generally In'ei kabaa has a weakness to piercing attacks as it Iyana is currently unable to focus it enough whilst in combat to block bladed weapons.

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

Name of Technique: Zōkyō(増強 'Augmentation').
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu/Supplementary nintaijutsu.
Rank: D-B. [D-C]
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: N/A.
Handseals: 4.
Description: A multifarious technique, Zōkyō allows Iyana to either form portions of In'ei kabaa on her body to attack or defend with. Additionally, Zōkyō can also be used to focus her chakra and different areas of her body, thus allowing her to either strengthen their durability or attack power. Lastly this technique can be utilized in the bodies of others or even weapons to augment them in some way. However, when used on others it is temporary or she can even cause painful sensations to occur due to the fact that reversing and messing with the chakra flow and distribution of the enemy can cause physical results such as weakening the physical integrity of their bodies. This applies to objects as well.

Weakness: Requires contact and can only be active for increments of two minutes.

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

Name of Technique: Tojita kaiten(閉じた回転 'Closed revolutions'). [Not learned]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu.
Rank: C-S. [C]
Range: 0-10 meters.
Nature Type: N/A.
Handseals: 4.
Description: By either creating a chakratic construct, utilizing one of the aforementioned techniques, or a chakra conductive weapon Iyana is capable of mimicking the effects of Chisoku gyōretsu's internal abilities. This is of course less effective than the actual katana, but does have the potential to become something much greater. For the moment Iyana is capable of creating fairly fast rotating disks and throwing them as deadly cutting implements.

Weakness: Takes a lot of focus to maintain and typically a lot of chakra as well despite her focus on control of such.

Name: Nazomeku(to be wrapped in mystery), Eiji(eternity order).
Nickname/Alias: Wireless.
Gender: Male.
Age: 32.
Age Appearance: In his twenties.
Sexuality: Straight.

Village: Kumogakure.
Birthplace: Kumogakure.

Organization: N/A.
Clan: Nazomeku.
--Nothing notable really, Eiji is their 1st real achievement. Regardless the clan appears to have a rather strange view of the world....--

Rank: Jounin sensei.
Chakra Nature: Earth.

Other Appearance Details:
Rather than any form of ninja clothing he does in fact wear the suit in his appearance above. Additionally it should be noted that rather than a ninja head-protector he cut the symbol for his village out and fashioned it into a necklace.

Personality: Good...evil. Terms unsuitable to describe the man that is Eiji, this guy is quite the little enigma to those who choose to remain around him. Often described as insane, but similarly orderly and genius-like, Eiji has long been more than a bit of a mystery to the inhabitants of Kumogakure. Deigned these things by his many peer's empirical evidence, Eiji doesn't care for anyone elses terminology in regards to much of anything, though he does use them despite this rejection of norms. Rather odd he is someone who follows his gut and sticks to his strict code which he simply refers to as 'The Rules'. Never explaining them en full, Eiji has been deemed to have made it up, but it does seem that there might be some method to his alleged insanity. Regardless he is a very observant and easily amused man. In fact on a regular basis he can be seen with a mischievous look in his eyes and some measure of a smirk on his face. Conversely it is essentially never that one sees him even mad, let alone angry or enraged. He actually seems to strongly abhor such traits in others. Regardless he is a damn good teacher despite his students seeming to come away from him with odd results. One is most certainly likely to come away from encounters with him at least mildly confused.

The Rules

• Logic is important, but only if it makes sense to me.



• Widely accepted and generalized concepts and idealogies are to be entirely rejected and reformatted to suit 'The Rules'.



• Skill is to be condemned unless it is of either intensely focused superiority and varied inferiority, or the direct opposite.



• Goals and dreams are above and outside moral influence.



• The mannerisms, morality, and prior status of any given individual mean next to nothing unless their circumstances conform to 'The Rules'.



• When anything in a situation seems highly unlikely to be successful, do it anyways, after-all if it is so unlikely no one will expect it.



• Above all else are admiration and terror. ANY action that gleans one or the other is more important than any previous priorities.



• Rage and loathing are the lowest of things, any who taps into them is of lesser moral stature no matter the intensity.



• Optimism is a shaky thing really, but is considered nearly neutral. Yet to use it too much or too little is inherently 'wrong'. Similarly pessimism should be taken on every so often.



• Activities related to spreading confusion are highly appreciated as it can lead to the greatest states of terror and/or admiration.



• Anything done in life is considered an achievement, even if it is not beneficial to the achiever.



• Pain is just parts of life, nothing bad about it.



• Murder is typically unacceptable, the reason is simple, if they are dead terror won't be in their hearts, and neither will admiration.



• While what others consider corruption is okay, any attempts to gain too much raw power must be punished. If a follower of the Rules does this they must punish themselves, if that fails the clan will.

History: Born to the Nazomeku clan, Eiji was raised by the ways of The Rule and crafted to become something the others of his clan did not think they could themselves. Eiji grew older, going through the steps of life, but never as any other had. He was only the 5th generation of his clan, and only in this generation had the Rules truly been followed to their fullest. He was the first to follow them correctly and in their completed form, he did so very well. As he grew and moved through the academy he took up playing with strings. Making cats cradles and the like with them, running and waving them through the air, it was just for fun then. However as Eiji grew and began to understand the shinobi arts better and better he came to a conclusion, string wasn't just a play thing, it was a potential weapon as well.

He began sparring with his friends and his peers, a genin now, and found them difficult to wield, but the task occupied him. The practice was aplenty, but his fingers were nimble and he soon had his own set of skills. It was soon after that his sensei woke him up to his chakra nature: Earth. He liked it, it made him feel grounded, it reminded him of his duties, of The Rules in all their solidity and assurance of dominance and strength of will. Around came the exams, he did not excel right off and while he was skilled he barely managed the first portion of the exam, held in a system of canyons. They were told to find their way out and not to fall to whomever they fought. When on the ground they were safe, but when scaling the walls or traveling upwards they became each other's prey. Only through his use of reinforcement on his threads and his deft clever mind did he survive that ordeal. Passing to the next exam, the final one, he was faced against a member of his own former team. Had he been any other it would have been traumatizing....

The kid would never be a nin again, and he'd hate Eiji with a passion, not only that but he had submitted to him, despite himself, and so Eiji became known as skilled --and maybe more than a bit insane. Regardless life continued on, for him at least, the boy he had fought --his former teammate at that-- disappeared soon after. Sadly, he was eventually sent on a mission to take down what could only be a missing nin harassing a civilian village for supplies. It turned out to be the boy, Ikajui, he still was bereft of an arm, after all there was no real way to replace it.

He didn't kill the boy though, he did redeem himself by barely injuring him. Ikajui had gained skill and so it was Eiji who ended up with more wounds, but in the end he triumphed and dragged his former friend back to Kumogakure where he was tried and sent to prison. Following this his rank was soon raised and he continued to gain skill in notoriety. These days people ironically refer to him as 'Wireless' to allude to his strange personality and intriguing combat style. He is well known in the village and despite having been teaching teams for a good time, he is often sent on solo missions as well.

Specialized Weapons & Items

Name of Weapon or Item:
Chin chouka(Wire Boots).

Description:
A very simple set of leather boots, they possess a unique mechanism in the back and tips going under the foot and in the traction-based rubber. This mechanism allows wire to easily be trailed behind his boots or used as weapons in kicks. The wires within this, out of combat, are locked so as not to trail unless he wants them to. Additionally the wires are attached to the 6 of the 8 wire reels known as Chinkase, located at his waist.

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

Name of Weapon or Item:
Chinkase(Wire reels).

Description:
These number in a total of 8, but are essentially just reels of his wire. 6 of these reels are linked with the Chin chouka, while the remaining 2 are for free use elsewhere. The latter 2 reels have 4 separate wire lengths on each.

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

Name of Weapon or Item:
Chin Tebukuro(Wire Gloves)

Description:
Wearing gloves with a similar purpose to the chin chouka, these have wire spaces in each finger allowing wire to be trailed there easily. Each glove is attached to a wire reel.

Special Traits
Extremely skilled in Chinjutsu(wire techniques) and adept at evasion. Eiji's chakra pool is of average size and his ability to utilize his sole earth affinity is rather masterful. He is adept at raw chakra control, as long as it is outside of the body. This provides a weakness as it means his chakra control in terms of inner regulation is only average meaning he can be a bit wasteful. While he is good at evasion, actual taijutsu more or less escapes him. He is skilled in the wielding of his various weaponry: kunai, shuriken,...etc etc. While he has no strict 'techniques' in Chinjutsu, he does have the odd habit of calling certainmaneuvers names despite them not really being specifiedtechniques.

=========================================
Techniques:
Possesses all academy techniques.

Canon Jutsu
Doton: Keijūgan no Jutsu(Earth Release: Light-Weight Rock Technique)
Chōkeijūgan no Jutsu(Earth Release: Ultralight-Weight Rock Technique)

Custom Jutsu

Name of Technique: Idō chijō no keijō(Shifting Earthly form).
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu/Shape manipulation.
Rank: D-B.
Range: 20(60 feet) yards.
Nature Type: Earth.
Handseals: 3.
Description: Preforming the three hand seals while quickly visualizing the results of this technique, the user can shift the appearance/form of the earth within a 20 yard hemisphere. This technique is strange in the way that it works as it can only apply 1 shift in form, but within the entire area if the user is able enough, at a time and thus makes it rather limited in nature as at least 5-10 seconds must pass before one can use it again. This technique works by sending off a 'blueprint' using the user's chakra, this 'blueprint' is in the form of an invisible pulse of chakra which thus effects the environment shifting it to the user's will with great speed and effectiveness, though this is variable depending on the skill of the user.

Weakness: Depending on the complexity or amount of earth being changed the amount of chakra taken increases or decreases.

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

Name of Technique: Sentō no jutsu(Spire technique).
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu.
Rank: D-C.
Range: Anywhere, as long as his chakra is present.
Nature Type: Earth.
Handseals: 1 seal, or one seal held.
Description: By sending some of his chakra into the ground he can then create spikes from the earth. These spires range in size from that of a needle to the height of 6-8 feet as their maximum. If he wishes to create more than one spire at a time he holds the hand seal so as to create up to 12 spires in rapid succession. Following this he cannot create more spires for 5 seconds.

Weakness: The spires can only come from places where his chakra is located. Additionally, if he cannot see thespot where his chakra is going to create one, theaccuracy decreases somewhat.

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

Name of Technique: Doton: Hokyō(Earth Release: Reinforcement).
Type of Jutsu: Supplementary Ninjutsu.
Rank: A.
Range: Contact.
Nature Type: Earth.
Handseals: 5.
Description: Making contact with an object, the user can then imbue it with a set amount of earth chakra. As they preform the hand seals the jutsu activates, forcing the earth chakra to move outwards and interconnect making the object(s) more sturdy. With complete mastery the user can easily utilize this on not only small objects and brittle ones, but also to sharpen the object(s) as well by refining the edges and the like. Once active it stays active and takes no more chakra. Once the chakra is present the technique can be reactivated with only the ram hand seal, but it will be half as effective as the first activation.

Weakness: Purely supplementary. If deactivated the chakra within the object will half disperse and half remain therein.

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

Name of Technique: Jinsoku wakare(Rapid Separation).
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu.
[B]Rank: A.
Range: Contact.
Nature Type: N/A.
Handseals: 2.
Description: By executing the hand seals while in contact with an object, individual, or surface the user will focus chakra on the desired body part and thing making contact with them. They will, in an instant, create two layers of chakra with opposite polarity. When released from their body one polarity makes a surface of the thing they have made contact with, while the other remains on their body. The opposing polarities reject one another sending the user and/or thing hurtling away from one another rapidly, hence the name of the technique. The focus of this technique varies depending on the amount of chakra utilized, as does the speed of the separation.

Weakness: Can only be used on up to two limbs at once. Can only be used 2 times in succession after which the user must wait around 1 minute for it to be available again. This technique expels chakra through usage and takes a very strong grasp of advanced external chakra control.

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

Name of Technique: Fūjikome Kaihō(Containment release).
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu.
Rank: B.
Range: Contact.
Nature Type: Earth.
Handseals: 5.
Description: By making contact with any form of the earth affinity, even metal, the user can make a hollow sphere of chakra of varying sizes and then condense it inwards causing the earth to do so as well until it forms a tight ball. This technique takes around 2-3 seconds to preform despite sounding lengthy. However, since the jutsu has no REAL upwards limit, if someone has enough chakra they can in theory thus crush an utterly massive amount of earth. However, the larger the amount of earthbeing effected the harder it is to condense.

Weakness: The condensed earth does in fact retain all of its mass and thus weight is not decreased by this technique.

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

Name of Technique: Sōsa: Fuzai shinshutsu(Manipulation: Absent foray).
Type of Jutsu: Shape manipulation Ninjutsu/Sensory Ninjutsu.
Rank: A.
Range: 20 yards.
Nature Type: N/A.
Handseals: 7.
Description: By preforming 7 hand seals the user sends off an invisible pulse of chakra. This has no effect physically until fully activated. Unlike Idō chijō no keijō this technique instead expands the natural aura of the user, an aura which is otherwise useless more or less, allowing them to use their partially externalized chakra to manipulate their selected affinity with great ease but with a limited time frame. While the control of the individual's respective affinity is bolstered incredibly, the user's field of chakra will eventually disperse. This dispersal will usually take around 6-15 minutes depending on their respective amount of chakra and their ability to control said chakra externally. It should be noted that this jutsu also amplifies the range of the user's 6th sense thus allowing them to sense things or people moving through the field.

Weakness: Once the chakra fades it will be totally inaccessible thus leaving the user incredibly tired following the completion of the technique. Despite the sensory aspect of this technique, the user's reaction speed is not strengthened at all so high speed movement is still very effective depending on the individual.

Name: Kaguya, Kaido
Alias: Senjiyurin Reikon (Thousand Forest Spirit/Spirit of a Thousand Forests)
Age: 21
Gender: Male
Rank: Jounin, ANBU Black Ops - B
Appearance:
Personality: Kaido is a solemn soul, one who reserves himself from the outside world. He is often found with little or no company, choosing to save himself for those he deems worthy. He is a no-nonsense type of man, and isn't hesitant to walk away from people or situations in which he does not personally want to concern himself which, sometimes giving a rude impression to others. Although, he often seems aloof, disregarding the opinions of others as if they didn't matter. He is quite content with himself and keeping to himself when there is nothing substantial to entertain his curiosity.
Village: Uzushiogakure
History/Background: Kaido was celebrated within his clan for being born with the Shkotsumyaku. Many feared his power, as it was destructive and made him deadly. Kaido grew to respect this power, and allowed it to mould his personality in that manner. He became a reserved person, as not many could relate to one such as him. He showed much prowess as a fighter and, quite obviously, became a very skilled Shinobi as a result of his gift.

In his teen years as a Shinobi Kaido grew very tired of how his peers revered him yet others spited him for what he was given as a child. An anger grew within him, for he did not ask for this power, it was bestowed upon him. He realized the ignorance of the world and the misunderstandings that turned into conflicts between people due to their emotions, and closed himself off from much of the world. He slowly fell out of the eye of the Shinobi community after turning sixteen, and for a time did not know what to do with his skill and power.
The world took this as a sign of deceit, believing the Kaguya clan was retracting its finest vessel to be used as a tool of war, and were eradicated by surrounding clans and villages before they had a chance to present their case or testify on their own behalf. Kaido, who could have saved his clan, was nowhere to be found during or after the massacre. It is unknown how many, if any, other Kaguya were able to save themselves, but Kaguya, for his own reasons, did not come to aid his clan in their hour of need. It was not out of fear of persecution or even death, but to withdraw himself from wordly matters concerning the negative emotions that guided peoples' actions, instead choosing to abstain from even participating in a pointless, misguided bloodshed.

Kaguya became a wanderer, and hid his identity from the world for two years until he turned 18. He was living in a small village near Konohagakure, away from where his clan had once lived. He kept to himself for the most part, so one day when came a knock at the door, he was very surprised. After opening the door he was even more shocked when a very stern-faced child was there to greet him, hands behind his back and staring at Kaido with a very interested look of wonder in his eyes.

After conversing with an eight year old for what could have been days, he found that this was no ordinary child and his intentions were anything but childlike. He formed what was agreed to be a temporary union with the boy which turned out to last much longer than originally planned. He spent two years with Jin, learning of his ideals and dreams for the world, and while not a dreamer himself, he bought into Jin's thoughts and could relate to his disposition in some ways. This led him to his current point in life as Jin's personal bodyguard and each other's first friend, in some ways.

Sawarabi no Mai

Name: Ajisai no Mai (Dance of the Hydrangea)
Rank: C
Range: -
Nature: Shikotsumyaku
Type: Ninjutsu
Effect: Kaido performs this Dance by removing his spine, sometimes performing a whip-like strike with it to anyone within a mid-range distance, then releases his spine which, from it, an entire skeletal structure will form, and ultimately take on Kaido's appearance, creating a clone of himself. The clone has an immense amount of defensive potential as it is made entirely of his Shikotsumyaku.
Weakness: The clone's formation is not instantaneous like most clone techniques, requiring a few seconds to form the skeletal structure and body of the clone together.

Name: Hanashobu no Mai (Dance of the Iris)
Rank: B
Range: Close-Mid Range
Nature: -
Type: Taijutsu
Effect: Kaido begins this dance usually qith a quick spin, lengthening his spine and tailbone to form a dense tail of bone, with a piercing blade-like end, sometimes choosing to form spikes along the tail. While spinning, the blade of the tail is slashed at nearby foes, usually aimed at the neck. His teeth are sharpened into large fangs that can be released from his jowels and regrown very quickly. Subsequently, he will lengthen the phalanx bones in his hands to form needle-like claws, the length of which varies wholely on the situation. Alternatively, his ulna bone will protrude through his skin along the side of his arm to form a sharp, sickle-like weapon while his radius will grow larger to support his arm. Rarely, he will form wing-like protrusions from hsi back which resemble the skeletal structure of a bat. While not capable of flight, the phalanges of the wings can be lengthened and used as piercing limbs. Occasionalyl he will form spikes from his knees or elbows as well
Weakness: This is a very offensive dance which relies on close-range tactics

Name: Shibazakura no Mai (Dance of the Pink Moss)
Rank: B
Range: Close-range
Nature: -
Type: Taijutsu
Effect: Using precision strikes applied to the target, Kaido releases his chakra into the opponent resulting in the calcification of the affected area. The process starts off as a slow hardening to the area, but as more blows are landed, the faster the process becomes. With two or more strikes applied to the same area, the calcification intensifies leading to a bony-white shell coating the location struck.
Weakness: Requires Kaido to hit the enemy at close-range, and requires successive blows to be effective.

Name: Bara no Mai (Dance of the Rose)
Rank: C
Range: Close-range
Nature: -
Type: Taijutsu
Effect: Using precision strikes to calcified areas of the target formed with Shibazakura no Mai, Bara no Mai is a dance that is simple and fluid: by targeting weakened or previously damaged areas of the opponent (such as calcified locations) the user is able to deal crushing blows that are capable of breaking normal human bone, and will leave craters in areas that have been struck twice already by Shibazakura no Mai.
Weakness: Without Shibazakura no Mai this technique is simply heavy blows pinpointed at an opponent's weakpoint.

Name: Fuji no Mai (Dance of the Wisteria)
Rank: C
Range: Close
Nature: -
Type: Taijutsu
Effect: Kaido must begin this technique by closing the distance to his opponent as much as possible, or allowing them to get close to him willingly. When the opponent is within 3-4 feet from his chest, his ribs will lengthen dramatically in a very fast manner, in an attempt to impale the enemy and keep them stuck in place with his ribs crossed through their body so they cannot escape. Providing his opponent is impaled or still within close range and trying to react, he will cross his arms across his body, in the process both of his ulna will extend out from his forearms to form very sharp sickle-like blades, and while crossing his arms, will attempt to decapitate his opponent
Weakness: This is a daring tactic as it leaves his chest and face exposed

Name: Himawari no Mai (Dance of the Sunflowers)
Rank: A
Range: Close
Nature: -
Type: Taijutsu
Effect: Kaido strengthens his body by constantly creating more bone throughout his body to form a second skeleton just beneath his skin. This defensive maneuver is used so that when his body is damaged or pierced, it is met with a wall of bone to protect himself. As his fighting style completely revolves around Taijutsu and close-range tactics he developed this technique as protection of his body is imperative
Weakness: It is mainly a defensive maneuver and lowers his speed by a fraction

Alias: Ezo the Wolf, Hell’s Army

Age: 41

Gender: Male

Rank: Tsuchikage

Appearance:

Personality: Ezo is gruff and distant, taking in everything and giving up very little in return. He doesn’t like having to do things, and he can usually be seen lazing around Iwagakure to avoid having to do work. He’s mildly alcoholic, and he says that he doesn’t like how he acts when he’s sober. By that, he means he doesn’t like it when he shows his emotions openly. Yup, when he’s sober he’s a lot more open with his feelings and emotions. Extreme amounts of alcohol can have the same effect though, with the added benefit that he won’t remember the consequences of telling the world that he’s a big softy, so… yeah, he sees no reason to ever be sober. The one exception to that is when he’s going to battle. For war, a clear mind is a must. Ezo on the battlefield is a cruel force of nature, raising an army in an instant. One second he’s one man with an anachronistic hat, the next he’s brought forth an army of walking dead, stone giants, and ungodly beasts. He has no emotion at all when he’s warring. He isn’t allowed to feel for his enemy, for the Tsuchikage must only think of his own people’s well being. Any who would bring harm to the people of the land of stone forfeit their right to live.

Village: Iwagakure

History/Background: First he was a simple farmer, just living to the next season, then he was a simple soldier, just following a superior’s orders, and then he was a war hero, just protecting something he thought was worth protecting. Now he’s the Tsuchikage, and he’s not sure what he’s supposed to be doing anymore.

Ezo the farmer was a nobody until he was coerced into fighting in the war. He’d been able to summon Fenrir even back then, and that wolf built Ezo’s name into a synonym for complete annihilation of the enemy. It’s ironic really, that back then he’d hated war. This was about when he started to drink. He’s never stopped since.

Ezo, through his jutsu and his puppets, but mostly through Fenrir, massacred hundreds, maybe thousands. By the end of the war, he no longer needed other soldiers to fight with. He’d walk up to the enemy force, and by the time he got there, if they had someone competent in charge, they’d have already retreated. When they didn’t, he’d add more red to his record book.

Now that the war has ended, and now that he’s the kage of the Land of Stone, Ezo isn’t really sure what he’s living for. He can’t run a country in a time of peace. He doesn’t know what peace is supposed to look like, so how is he supposed to achieve it? Ezo has resigned himself to be his country’s protector, but he can’t run it. He leaves running the country to his daughter, Mayonaka. She’s smarter than he is anyway. Some country bum drunk is the last person you want in charge of a country. He really isn’t sure what the first Tsuchikage was thinking, putting him in charge.

So what did the first Tsuchikage see in Ezo? He saw a man, willing to do whatever it took to protect his own. He saw a heart, weeping as its owner slaughtered hundreds and pretended like he could just shut that out. And he saw a father, a broken man trying to put himself back together for the sake of one little girl whom he hadn't been able to bring himself to kill. A man who knew war firsthand, who had the power to fight, the will to protect, and the capacity to love and possibly, to attain the one thing the first Tsuchikage had given up on: peace. Peace of body, of mind, of people, of the world. So when Takai Ryukoku, the Tsuchikage of the Sky, was killed, and his final will read aloud before all who attended the event, Ezo Honshu was named his successor. The Kage whose feet rarely graced the earth with their presence had left his position to someone he hoped would be more down to earth.

Name: Summoning: King Wolf
Rank: A
Range: Any
Nature: Space-time
Type: Summoning
Effect: Summons a giant rabid wolf out of the earth, covered in steel chains that try to pull it back. The wolf towers over the tallest of trees and buildings and is incredibly strong, its chains carve fissures in the ground as it moves. The wolf’s name is Fenrir. He is 100% pissed off 100% of the time, and Ezo almost always has to beat him into submission before he’ll do what Ezo tells him to. Fenrir himself uses wind techniques, sucking in air like a powerful vacuum and then shooting it out with explosive force. His bark may not be quite as bad as his bite, but it’s still pretty bad on its own; the great wolf’s howl is powerful enough to uproot trees.
Weakness: He can’t leave the ground with the chains constantly pulling him downward. Also, the chains are metal, so… maybe try a big ass lighting jutsu?

Name: Earth Release: Stone Goliath
Rank: A
Range: Any
Nature: Earth
Type: Ninjutsu (Puppet)
Effect: Ezo creates a humanoid statue out of stone, ranging in size from that of a normal human (useful for fooling enemies and reconnaissance) to an enormous giant (useful for subduing Fenrir and general wrecking shit). Ezo controls the statue like a normal puppet, but he can also see through the puppet’s eyes and use his jutsu through the puppet. Any damage is easily repaired by taking in new stone.
Weakness: The things leak chakra like there’s no tomorrow, and Ezo needs to pay constant attention to controlling them, leaving his own body vulnerable to attack.

Name: Thunder Release: Spider’s Web
Rank: A
Range: Long
Nature: Lightning
Type: Ninjutsu (Puppet)
Effect: Weaves a chakra thread through the target’s nervous system and then runs electricity through the thread, paralyzing the target and making them unable to control their body.
Weakness: Must first attach a chakra thread to the target, and those with a natural lightning affinity are resistant. Another lightning technique disperses the paralysis affect.

Name: Perfect Counterfeit Technique
Rank: B
Range: None
Nature: Copy
Type: Copy / Hiden
Effect: Makes a perfect duplicate of the target. The target lasts until the chakra used to create it is depleted or the user releases the jutsu. While it can duplicate living things the created copy would not be alive or able to move or attack on its own, so a copy of a person would basically just be their lifeless body. Ezo must be touching the thing he is duplicating, but he can use the technique with a short delay.
Weakness: Not too useful on its own, but it makes for one hell of a party trick.

Name: Mayonaka “May” Arashi

---

Alias: May of the Iron Blood, May the Untouchable, Hell’s Second

---

Age: 23

---

Gender: Female

---

Rank: Jonin, and the Tsuchikage's assistant

---

Appearance:

---

Personality: May is sharp and quick, ready to knock you down the moment it’s safe to get back up from her last attack. She’s also very kind and considerate to anyone who isn’t Ezo. She’s the one who’s always stuck with the job of tracking down the kage when he’s skipped out on his work. Her patience for that man is long past running dry, and one of these days she swears she’ll kill that good-for-nothing bum.

---

Village: Iwagakure

---

History/Background: May was just a baby during the war. Nothing is known about who her parents were, and no one else with her unique kekkei genkai has been found to point her in the direction of any family members that may or may not still be living. Ezo found her in the charred remains of a village he had attacked, and he couldn’t just leave her there, not with so many monsters about. Zombies and giants and wolves all around, orders to leave no survivors were ignored as he picked up the little girl and took her back home.

Ezo wasn’t very good at being a dad, to put it mildly. From trying to feed a toddler a steak the first night he brought her home, he never really got any better at raising her. May wouldn’t have had it any other way. He raised a girl the best he could, and she turned out all right, if she’d be allowed to say so. Ezo never lied to her about who she was and how he had come to adopt her, so she never had a chance to hate him for possibly killing her parents, family, and maybe entire clan. Well, she’s tried to, but she isn’t very good at hating people.

May was raised to be the only thing Ezo knew, other than being a farmer because Ezo really didn’t want to go back to being a farmer and that was a soldier. He taught her how to fight, how to strategize, how to get other people to teach her math because he couldn’t have if his life depended on it, and he even taught her all of his techniques, in addition to teaching her how to control her kekkei genkai so that she could use it without hurting herself. She’s the only one other than Ezo that Fenrir has ever been summoned by, and even then he almost ripped her head from her spine for it. She was terrified of the wolf for quite a while, but now she knows how to handle him, and their relationship is… less murdery.

Ever since Ezo became the Tsuchikage, May’s had to think of herself more and more as the parent in their relationship. Ezo would rather disappear and show up days later on some stranger’s roof half-naked and still sleep till noon after than make sure that his country is running smoothly. So while Ezo may be the official kage, May is stuck doing all of the real work for him. She can’t be too angry with him though because whenever there is trouble in the Land of Stone, he’ll be the one there to protect his people from harm. But still, the paperwork!

May doesn’t know it yet, but Ezo is preparing her for the time when he can step down and have her take over as the Tsuchikage. He’s taught her all he can as far as jutsu and fighting go, and he fully believes that she’ll surpass him in strength in the coming years, and she’s already learning everything about managing a nation during his time as kage, when he can take the blame for any mistakes she may make.

Tools: Wears a wedding ring on each middle finger, from the couple that was her first kill.

Chakra Nature: Earth, mixed with Fire to create…

Kekkei Genkai: Steel Release

Special Traits:
Speed through the roof and immovable physical strength
Kenjutsu skill on par with Ezo’s
Impervious to most physical injury
Good balance

Steel Release: Impervious Armor
Summoning: Iron Maiden (hers actually looks like an iron maiden)

Name: Steel Release: Iron Blood
Rank: S
Range: Short
Nature: Steel
Type: Ninjutsu
Effect: Any physical injury to May’s body is stopped by her metal blood and triggers deadly steel spikes to blossom from the wound instead of blood. The liquid metal then seals the wound and hardens.
Weakness: Don’t attack with taijutsu or kenjutsu maybe? Just a thought. Lightning might work, since steel is closely related to earth.

Name: Steel Release: Iron Cannon
Rank: B
Range: Long
Nature: Steel
Type: Ninjutsu
Effect: A very short piece of iron emerges from May’s palm with such speed and force as to launch whatever she’d holding over the far horizon, or at least a few dozen miles away.
Weakness: Depends on what she’s launching really, but the general rule is just to get out of the way. Neutralizing her arms might be a good plan as well, but that’s easier said than done.

Name: Steel Release: Iron Forge
Rank: A
Range: Short
Nature: Steel
Type: Ninjutsu
Effect: May shapes her metal blood into any shape she desires and then solidifies it to use as a weapon.
Weakness: Depends on what she shapes. I’d still try out the lightning jutsu though.

Name: Earth Release: Roulette Vacation
Rank: B
Range: Short (A very long short)
Nature: Earth
Type: Ninjutsu
Effect: Creates a deep depression in the earth, with May in the center and tall sloping walls forming a bowl. The entire structure spins at high speed, disorientating anyone trapped inside.
Weakness: The center of the bowl is safe, and May is also standing in the center of the bowl. It isn’t hard for any moderately competent ninja to escape.

Name: Steel Release: Infinite Pull
Rank: A
Range: Long
Nature: Steel
Type: Ninjutsu
Effect: Creates an enormous steel ball and then crushes it into a tiny space. May then adds more and more steel to the ball without making it any bigger, increasing its mass to critical level. Everything in the area is pulled towards the ball. She can then fire the ball end release it, which creates a massive explosion and pressure wave wherever it hits.
Weakness: Takes time to prepare, and May must focus on keeping the ball stable the entire time or else it will explode. The chakra cost is exponentially higher as she tries to add more and more mass into the ball and still keep it stable.

Name: Steel Release: Iron Fortress
Rank: B
Range: Long
Nature: Steel
Type: Ninjutsu
Effect: A very large and very hard wall of steel rises from the ground. That’s it, just a wall.
Weakness: Use those prepositions! It’s a wall people.

Name: Steel Release: Iron Chains
Rank: B
Range: Long
Nature: Steel
Type: Ninjutsu
Effect: Summons steel chains that May can control to attack her enemies.
Weakness: Electricity… again.

Name: Steel Release: Iron Haze
Rank: B
Range: Mid
Nature: Steel
Type: Ninjutsu
Effect: Scatters millions of microscopic droplets of metal throughout the air, deflecting and dispersing electricity.
Weakness: Don’t use electricity. Oh wait, but then how are you supposed to deal with her other techniques? Stop whining and figure that out for yourself.

Name: Fire Release: Burning Fever
Rank: B
Range: Short
Nature: Fire
Type: Ninjutsu
Effect: May increases her body temperature to a scorching level and then sends the heat through her metal constructs.
Weakness: She’s hot, so be cool and get her a nice cold drink, meaning water jutsu.

Name: Perfect Counterfeit Technique
Rank: B
Range: Long
Nature: Copy
Type: Copy / Hiden
Effect: Makes a perfect duplicate of the target. The target lasts until the chakra used to create it is depleted or the user releases the jutsu.
Weakness: Not too useful on its own, but it makes for one hell of a party trick.
