【History】
Ayameko was born in the Land of Rivers, in a village outside of Tanigakure. She never aspired to become Tanikage, but events would push her down that path.

Her academy days were very uneventful. The Land of Rivers was small and it was easy for Ayameko to get the attention she needed from her teachers. She was far from a prodigy. Ayameko had to spend longer on much of her work, but what set her apart in her academy days was her work ethic and ingenuity. Ayameko's written submissions were always intriguing for her sensei, with the material she was discussing going far beyond her grade level and into heavily researched theory. It was Ayameko's refusal to settle for the expected or simple answer that made her one of the strongest graduates from Tanigakure.

Post academy, at 18, Ayameko pushed herself heavily into medical research, in particular genetics and neuroscience. It was unusual for a fresh out of academy Gennin to be working in that kind of advanced research. However, Ayameko made sure she was a useful part of the team, pushing herself to take on the hardest tasks she could in an effort to learn as much as she could. It would earn her a glowing recommendation for Chuunin and many accolades on her research on genetics and botanicals, in particular the creation of plants that produced certain natural instances of medicines for common diseases.

At 25, when out in the field, Ayameko would fall in love with a young Uchiha, Hatsuko, from the Land of Fire. Their romance was quite legendary and after two years, they married. However, Ayameko refused to leave the Land of Rivers, knowing her people needed her, especially giving the failing health of their current leader. The two would travel back and forth between their lands to see each other twice a month. This continued for the next eight years.

At 33, the bijuu appeared with little fanfare. The swift destruction of the Rain Country caught many offguard. After the Four Tails destroyed almost everything, the remnants of the Rain Country were joined by the forces from many of the other small nations, as well as the Land of Fire and Land of Earth. Together, they took a stand at the border of the Land of Wind and the Land of Rivers. The makeshift army was led by the current leader of the Land of Rivers and being already in poor health, he was quickly slain. The ancient relic of the Land of Rivers, said to have split the Ten Tails long ago, the Totsuka no Tsurugi, now lay on the ground with no wielder. Ayameko, no stranger to taking on the hardest tasks, picked up the weapon.

Quickly, she organized the now disorganized troops with the assistance of Hatsuko, eventually the combined effort of those involved were able to drive the Four Tails back.

Returning to Tanigakure, Ayameko was quickly ushered into the role as Tanikage. At first she refused the position, stating there were others with more combat experience, and better credentials than herself. However, she eventually relented to the people of the Land of Rivers and became their Tanikage. The next three years of her role as Tanikage consisted primarily of tracking down and sealing the remaining bijuu. This fostered a strong relationship with the Land of Fire. After sealing away all but two of the beasts, Ayameko would return to the Land of Fire for a council with the current Hokage, Hokage Shikata Kibō.

Once again, the beasts, along with fate, ushered her into a role she never intended to take. The Nine Tails, having spent much of its time destroying the outlying territories bordering the Land of Fire made a move on Konohagakure during the Council. Hokage Shikata Kibō and Ayameko took up arms against the beast. In the fight, Ayameko's right arm was ripped off, in an effort to prevent her from utilizing the Totsuka no Tsurugi. However, the sword was saved by a wandering monk, an ally from across the seas who had spent the last three years fighting bijuu with Ayameko. The Hokage, however, fared worse than her - losing his life in the battle with the creature. His soul returned to Yggdrasil, the historical selector of the leadership of the Land of Fire. Knowing the necessity of having a leader for the Land of Fire, Yggdrasil reached out to Ayameko in the battle and selected her as the Hokage. Invoking the power of the previous Hokage, Ayameko was able to open up the ground beneath the Nine Tails and suppress the beast long enough to allow the strange monk to deliver a strike to wound the beast enough to drive it back.

After the conflict, Ayameko's selection as Hokage was met with skepticism. Not only was she not a native to the Land of Fire, but she had position as another Kage. Hatsuko argued with the council on her behalf, eventually resulting in him resigning his position in frustration with the stubbornness of the leadership. A week after the destruction of Konoha, Ayameko was called in front of the very council she had come to the Land of Fire to meet - this time to debate the legitimacy of her leadership. After hours of receiving a verbal beating from the elders, Ayameko stood to leave, knowing she could not say anything to change their mind. However, knowing that its selection was being question, Yggdrasil reached out to the entire Land of Fire at once - something entirely unheard of. Blasted with mental images of her feats, and who she was as a person, the council, as well as the people relented.

Despite her advanced healing techniques, she could not recreate a flesh and blood arm for herself, the effects of the Kyuubi's removal of her arm preventing the regrowth needed. Hatsuko, now informed of Ayameko's pregnancy with twins, set out to the Mastersmith of the Land of Fire, Masazane Io. Combining their knowledge, Io and Ayameko were able to create an arm of metal that would respond to her will, much like her real arm would have. Seals at the end of her arm were placed to convert the signals from her nerve endings into understandable commands for the metal arm.

At 36, ten months after the events in the Land of Fire, Ayameko would give birth to twins - one boy, one girl. However, she would be immediately called away to battle another bijuu, hiding in the southeast of the Land of Fire, in territory once owned by the Land of Water. The battle should have been seemingly simple, but Hatsuko would be poisoned by the beast in the battle, a poison unlike anything Ayameko had encountered. Despite her best efforts, Ayameko was unable to create an anti-toxin capable of dealing with the effects of the bijuu's poison, Hatsuko dying within the month. Even worse, her son would be taken as well, both children exposed to the poison through their father. Ayameko, who also suffered, only survived due to her distant heritage as a Senju - giving her a remarkable life force. However, Ayameko was able to synthesize an anti-toxin in the month following Hatsuko's death which allowed her to save her daughter, Touzoku.

Despite all of the Tailed Beasts being driven back, their destruction was not easily recovered from. Many of the smaller nations had populations starving and suffering. Those with malicious intent often took advantage of these struggling lands, which made it even worse. With most on the bring of destruction, the smaller lands requested to join with the larger nations which were still able to support themselves. Ayameko, who would have been content with merely giving aid to these lands, knew that the Council would not provide aid without gaining territory. Ayameko would be forced to take on these new lands as a part of her recovering nation.

The years that followed were as chaotic as could be expected. Most of the nation's had significantly weakened military, making enforcement of anything nearly impossible. Equally difficult was Ayameko's Council, who had returned to opposing her leadership. In a surprise move, Ayameko removed the Council's authority by opening up elections for the Council - which had been historically appointed by the Hokage. Under her guidance, the Council was replaced with representatives from each of the Lands, most of which were their former Kage. This structure worked well for many years, and restoration efforts were able to be enacted with minimal opposition.

However, it could be argued the recovery was too successful. Seeing many of their old, native lands returning to prosperity, there was a call from some of the people for a return to independence. In an effort to unite the people, Ayameko remade her nation as Kyokujitsu no Tochi, making the Land of Fire merely a territory within it. Under this, a new government would be born and each territory would have equal chance of being having a leader selected. Each would present candidates to Yggdrasil when it came time to select the new Sankage. Ayameko moved the capital north, keeping Konohagakure as a city for the Land of Fire, as well as a memorial for what was lost. The new capital would become Kyokujitsugakure and would be considered independent from the territories, despite being in the confines of the Land of Fire.

Despite her efforts, the revolts were a potential catalyst for the First Shinobi War. The formal shinobi villages had just started to take shape and territory needed to be carved out formally - with force in some instances. The revolt within her own newborn nation had bled into pockets within the territory of other nations. Wars of independence waged at the same time as wars between the larger lands to define the borders of their lands. Ayameko had remained successful at avoiding conflict in many situations, resulting in her title of Gaikōkan (Diplomat). She managed to expand her nation to include Rivers, Iron, Rice, Hot Spring, and Tea.

In her 60s, Ayameko would fall in love again, to a Hyuuga man. They would marry, but his health would fail a decade later.

Ayameko continues in her role as Sankage.

Fuuton
Suiton*
Doton*
Mokuton*

The natures related to Mokuton are a trait granted by her connection with Yggdrasil and her position as Sankage.

【Abilities and Special Traits】
Ayameko's abilities are the product of hard work and dedication. She is an extremely skilled medical shinobi and boasts strong control over her chakra. While far from a prodigy, she is quite intelligent and has a incredible understanding of human behavior and genetics, two widely different subjects. She is also quite skilled with the sword.

Ayameko uses a taijutsu style reminiscent of the Hyuuga clan.



【Weapons, Tools Summons, and Equipment】

Name of Weapon or Item: Shokuyari [Planting Spear]
Description: Reforged from the shattered Totsuka no Tsrugi and the Makimasu, two blades of reputation. The power of the Shokuyari is the ability to affect being such as the bijuu, even when within the vessel of another individual. At full power, the spear can project an image into a vessel and remove the bijuu from it without killing them. The second effect is from the Makimasu, which allows Ayameko to sow her special seeds into objects she has cut or stabbed. It should be additionally noted the two crescent blades on the side of the spear can be detached and controlled with chakra.
Appearance: An ornate spear of great beauty. A variant of a bishamon yari, the Shokuyari has two crescent blades attached to the sides of the main double blade. These are unique in themselves in that part of the crescent is much thicker. When detached, these form a yin-yang symbol. While the metal from both blades was mixed, as well as their properties, a single circle in each crescent was preserved with the symbol for the original weapons on it. The shaft is made of a branch of Yggdrasil, polished white and is exceptionally durable.

Name of Weapon or Item: Specialized Seeds
Appearance and Effects: Ayameko's seeds can be placed into an individual, depending on the seed (trees cannot be placed in individuals), that will feed of their chakra while still following Ayameko's direction. Many of these plants grow within the confines of Kyokujitsugakure. Just outside the walls of the capital another ring of these plants can be found with the vines climbing the full height of the walls.

- Generic vining seed that is covered with thorns and leaves.
- A tree seed that constantly sprays Kirigakure no Jutsu in the area around it.
- A vining flower that releases a chemical that causes the eyes to water.
- A vining flower that can bond with other plants or areas under the effect of techniques to continue to supply them with energy by converting light into chakra. This chakra disperses if the flowers are destroyed and is forever lost. It cannot be pulled from the plant and used by any individual.
- A flower that can release a bright pulse of light akin to a flash tag towards the area it is pointing. This cannot be done up to 3 times per flower before it must bloom again, which requires additional chakra or at least 5 days time.
- White birch trees that provide a gate to Pure World for a specific person that has bonded with that tree. This allows the person to return upon activation of a the appropriate technique that creates a being under the effects of the IWR. The reincarnated individual can only operate within 50 feet of the tree. (Cannot Combine)
- A flowering plant that seals foreign chakra inside of itself and consumes what energy it can, either absorbed, or from the area around it or another individual, to duplicate itself until destroyed or forced to stop.
- Vining plant that, once embedded into to the flesh of an enemy produces a constant Genjutsu of their own chakra. Can be removed before it takes full effect, or by others once fully formed. Seed must be placed within the victim. The Genjutsu is a highly advanced technique that continues to play out the battle they were in within their own mind. This seed actively seeks out to bind itself with the nervous system of the individual, especially loves engaging directly into the brain. (Cannot Combine)
- Water lily that has the effects of the Byakugan that assigned individuals can tap into. (Cannot Combine)
- A special flower that when used mimics the traits of an individual it has made contact with (or part of them). This plant will react to the chakra signature of that person and glow faintly when they are within 5 miles of it.
- A flower that produces a neurotoxin. The stem has many thorns that secrete the toxin in addition to the potential of inhaling it when too close to the flower or when a large number of them are in a group together. A single scratch from a thorn or a single breath from a single flower will cause complete paralysis in about 5 minutes. Continued exposure to the toxin will obviously lower this requirement.

Name of Summon: Yggdrasil
Description: Yggdrasil is sentient tree of significant power. Yggdrasil is perpetually in a state of Sage Mode, giving it access to vast sums of power and utilize a number of its own abilities. Yggdrasil has a naturally purifying effect to energies it absorbs and it is considered to have a boundless ability to store energy within its body (it merely grows to accommodate more energy). Using either energy it has gathered or stored, Yggdrasil can project a massive barrier around a wide area around it in an instant. Additionally, as a countermeasure, Yggdrasil can disrupt the formation of jutsu within its field of control by infusing an individual or technique with natural energy. Yggdrasil's sensory capabilities are profound enough that it can sense the intent of those near it and actively negates many offensive techniques within its bounds. The exclusion being those with a special tag system. Yggdrasil has the ability, as well, to filter light to allow it to pass unhindered to the ground below it.

Yggdrasil forms a specialized bond with a singular individual who runs the village of Kyokujitsu no Tochi. The user is granted the ability to use Mokuton as well as maintain their link to the tree across infinite distances (even if they cannot access its power from that range). When a bonded individual dies, their spirit is retained within the tree itself (which partially spans into the Pure World), allowing former Kage to communicate with the current one (providing unique circumstances preventing this). The ability to store a spirit or form is not limited to bonded individuals either.

Yggdrasil can communicate with individuals, primarily through images. A select few are capable of understanding it on a deeper level. Those individuals also can utilize Yggdrasil's energy to support their own techniques once enhancing that link.
Appearance: A large tree over 1500 feet tall with massive boughs that can cover the entire village.
Weaknesses: Unlike most summons, Yggdrasil is incapable of moving. Despite its immense power, it has no offensive capabilities of its own and is disrupting to allies forming offensive techniques within its bounds (excluding those with specialized tags). Most of the power Yggdrasil can use is limited in range to upwards of 10 miles outside its bounds.

【Custom Jutsu】
Name of Technique: Ama no Uki Hashi (Floating Bridge of Heaven)
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: B-S
Range: Contact with earth around user
Nature Type: Doton
Handseals: 20
Description: Ama no Uki Hashi has one of two effects. The first is that it allows the user to consistently raise up the earth below them to meet their feet, essentially allowing them to scale large heights. The second is that the user can create a literal bridge of earth between two places, or float a bridge into place.
Weakness: Complex bridges, as well as extended use can take a toll on the user's chakra.

Name of Technique: Takama no Hara (Plain of High Heaven's)
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: S
Range: Variable - typically the zone of a seal or directly around Ayameko
Nature Type: Doton
Handseals: 15, or 1 with prepared Seal
Description: Takama no Hara is a highly advanced Doton technique. The technique allows the user to raise a portion of the earth, as well as shape parts of it, and essentially levitate it. The movement of the earth raised by this is very slow, especially if it is of a large size. It is entirely possible to raise entire islands with this technique with enough time and chakra, but the drain on a single person would be incredibly immense.
Weakness: Significant chakra cost for large pieces of earth.

Name of Technique: Chikyū Ketsugō (Earth Bond)
Type of Jutsu: Fuuinjutsu or Ninjutsu
Rank: A
Range: Seal or 10 feet around the user.
Nature Type: Doton
Handseals: 7 or Seal creation
Description: A peculiar technique that creates a bond with the earth and the chakra of those around the user. Once caught by this technique, any attempt to remove yourself from contact with the ground will fail (basically if you try to jump, you'll remain on the ground stuck and probably hurt your leg depending on how much power you put into the jump.
Weakness: Limited range and skilled opponents will be able to fight with limited hindrance.

Name of Technique: Shizen muchitsujo no hakai: Seimei to sono yōso no haichi (Destruction of Natural Disorder: Arrangement of Life and its Elements)
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu/Fuuinjutsu
Rank: S
Range: Variable
Nature Type: Mokuton +- Suiton +- Doton
Handseals: Variable
Description: Shizen muchitsujo no hakai: Seimei to sono yōso no haichi is an advanced sealing technique of Ayameko known only to her. Essentially the effect of the technique is to create fuuinjutsu effects through the arrangement of earth, water, and plants, which is knowledge known only to the sealer. This creates a physical seal that is not only able to blend in with natural environments, but creates a difficult to diffuse seal due to the natural properties of the seal. Additionally, the seals tend to gain power the longer the exist, seeming to draw on natural energies to sustain and strengthen themselves. Furthermore, many of the seals are malleable in their form, but not in effect, also making them challenging to counter.
Weakness: The initial creation of a seal created through this technique can be exhausting depending on how it is implemented. Creating a large seal over a large area from a single location is exhausting. However, using a seal over a smaller area is only a decent drain on chakra. For large scale seals, Ayameko, or people Ayameko trusts, are dispatched to help set up the seal via scrolls, making it much more cost effective.

Name of Technique: Tojikomemasu
Type of Jutsu: Fuuinjutsu
Rank: A
Range: Touch
Nature Type: N/A
Description: A blow landed with the Tojikomemasu will pull all of the victim’s chakra to the point of the seal. It will take about one minute for the victim’s chakra to be pulled in. This limits their ability to use jutsu. If an A or S rank is struck with this jutsu, they could only use C rank techniques. It scales with the ranks of the individuals this seal is placed on.
Weakness: N/A

Name of Technique: Saibō Sōzō (Cell Creation)
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: S
Range: Short
Nature Type: N/A
Handsigns: 2
Description: An extremely advanced application of the Mystical Palm developed over the years of research by Ayameko and Shiō, essentially allowing a well-trained medical shinobi the ability to create stem cells in varying quantities. An example application would be a severely damaged eye, allowing the cells to replace the damaged portion, restoring full sight. However, in the case of the eye, some portion of either eye would have to be intact, or a partial transplant received in order to regrow a patient's eye. In technical theory, it is possible for this technique to be utilize to regrow an organ or body part without a base sample, but would require laboratory testing and genetic sampling to ensure the organ is created properly - things that are impractical in combat triage situations. This technique can be applied to the regrowth of limbs or other such appendages as well, but require an even greater amount of time to be fully functional.
Weakness: Requires not only massive chakra from the medic-nin, but also constant chakra to sustain the cells as they transition to their new roll. In the cases of large cell creations, it can be weeks before a body part is considered fully functional.

Name of Technique: Shinkeishi (Numbing)
Type of Jutsu: Medical Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Range: Touch.
Nature Type: N/A
Description: Once contact is made, a burst of chakra will be inserted into the body. This will damage the nerve path ways along the strike's point. For example, if someone was struck with a Shinkeishi kick or punch, the point of striking will damage the nerves. One strike will make it harder for that part of the body to move for a bit (15 seconds or so), but if contact lasts for more than a ‘moment’, then the nerves can face more serious damage that would require a healer to be seen. Additionally, this is often used for medical procedures to numb pain.
Weakness: N/A

Name of Technique: Shukketsu (Bleeding)
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: B
Range: Melee
Nature Type: N/A
Handseals: N/A
Description: It is a simple, yet highly dangerous technique that can even be applied to basic shinobi tools (tools naturally designed to contain chakra are more potent). Essentially, the technique prevents blood from coagulating along the lines of any stab or cut an opponent receives from the enhanced without finding aid of a medical shinobi. The technique also can work in reverse at short contact range, coagulating a wound within seconds. At increased chakra cost to both techniques, this can also be applied to chakra scalpels.
Weakness: Short range for more common uses can make it difficult to utilize. Circulation can be cut off at the higher parts of the wound, should it be lower on an appendage to prevent too rapid of bloodloss from the technique.

Name of Technique: Tenchi (Heaven and Earth)
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Range: Personal
Nature Type: N/A
Handsigns: N/A
Description: The user becomes adept at sensing the presence of the internal chakra system within a range of thirty feet (radius) around themselves. The user also becomes adept at sensing the displacement of air, and sensing vibrations through the ground, making it very difficult to sneak up on them or otherwise catch them off guard.
Weakness: N/A

Name of Technique: Engei no Sai (Talent of Gardening)
Type of Jutsu: Taijutsu/Fuuinjutsu/Ninjutsu
Rank: A
Range: Physical
Nature Type: Mokuton
Handsigns: 0
Description: Despite the simplicity of the technique, it is one of Ayameko's most powerful. Upon initiation of the technique, Ayameko is able to place seeds at will in any area she had made contact with. Placing seeds reduces significant chakra cost in comparison to achieve similar effects to other Mokuton techniques in addition to allowing specialized seeds to be placed. When in her Sage Mode, this technique becomes further empowered allowing Ayameko to place seeds through significant (solid blow from a vine, drawing blood, prolonged contact, etc) contact with her other plants.
Weakness: Generally short range.

Name of Technique: Chimei-tekina Aki (Deadly Fall)
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: A
Range: Variable
Nature Type: Mokuton
Handsigns: 7
Description: Releases the leaves from all of the plants within Ayameko's range of influence or plants she has created/grown. These leaves become razor sharp and can be directed much like shuriken or kunai out at an opponent. Leaves can be restored to these plants by supplying them more chakra. If not, the plants will die.
Weakness: Requires plants.

Name of Technique: Shōaku Tsuru (Grasping Vine)
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu/Taijutsu
Rank: B
Range: 40 feet of seed
Nature Type: Mokuton
Handsigns: 1
Description: Creates a vine(s) from appropriate seeds within the area that lash out at an opponent. The vines are dependent on the type of seed used. Ayameko can control these vines as will. She often pairs this with her taijutsu to control opponents near her by placing vine plants near her location.
Weakness: Requires seeds/plants.

Name of Technique:
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu/Fuuinjutsu
Rank: A
Range: Variable
Nature Type: Mokuton
Handsigns: Variable
Description: By preforming the handsigns for both a Mokuton technique and a Fuuinjutsu technique, Ayameko can create a number of plants that have these seals on their stem/trunk, leaves, flowers, etc.. The cost of chakra for this technique is dependent on the number of plants and the complexity of the seal. Certain seals that are normally applied via touch can then be applied by contact with the plant part instead.
Weakness: Requires plants.

Name of Technique: Shizen Keiro Kara no Zure: Tenpu Fairu o Sakujo Rei (Deviation from the Natural Path: Removal of all Worldly Attachment)
Type of Jutsu: Senjutsu
Rank: A
Range: 10 feet of plants in Sage Mode
Nature Type: Mokuton
Handsigns: 10
Description: Floods the area around chosen of Ayameko's plants with natural energy, disrupting the balance of energy of those near those plants.
Weakness: Short range, requires plants.

Name of Technique: Shokubutsu Seijin (Plant Sage)
Type of Jutsu: Senjutsu
Rank: S
Range: Personal
Nature Type: Mokuton
Handsigns: 3
Description: By invoking her connection with Yggdrasil, Ayameko enters a state of heightened prowess. This is strongest when she is within 12 miles of Yggdrasil in which she can invoke the full form of this technique, which allows her to tap directly into the stores of energy within Yggdrasil. If she is outside that range, she cannot do that. This allows her to preform feats that even larger groups of Shinobi would struggle to do. In the regular form, this technique merely enhances her normal techniques and skills by incorporating natural energy.
Weakness: When used away from Yggdrasil, the technique is limited to 5 minutes. When near Yggdrasil this restriction is lifted.

Name of Technique: Zensei Keiro no Shūsoku (Convergence of Past Lives' Paths)
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: S+
Range: See seed.
Nature Type: Mokuton
Handsigns: 25
Description: Invokes the power of the <seed>. This calls forth the individuals from the Pure World similar to the IWR. However, they can only operate within the near area of the tree, but have all of the benefits and drawbacks of IWR. The additional benefit of this technique is that individuals created the pact themselves, making it easier for Ayameko to invoke numerous instances of this technique.
Weakness: Limited range. Mostly defensive applications.

Name of Technique: Denpan no Seikatsu (Propagation of Life)
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: A
Range: Variable
Nature Type: Mokuton
Handsigns: 3
Description: By pouring chakra into her plants, Ayameko forces them to produce seeds of the type of plants which can then be dispersed through the area. The number of seeds depends on the chakra supplied and the type of plant (the tree connecting to the Pure World is highly intensive). Only one can be planted (Pure World Tree) and the growth of these cannot be accelerated unlike the original seed.
Weakness: Requires previous plants.

Name of Technique: Ki no Eda (Boughs of the Tree)
Type of Jutsu: Shinshenjutsu
Rank: S+
Range: Variable.
Nature Type: Mokuton
Handsigns: 12
Description: Ayameko's 'ultimate' technique. This technique can only be used in her true sage form. This technique blooms the three seeds Ayameko has in her right arm. These specialized flowers have the power of the tree that is capable of resurrection from the Pure World. These flowers correspond to three people in particular, her two husbands and the child she lost (he is brought back in his 20s based off of Touzoku).
Weakness: Can only be preformed when near Yggdrasil.

Name of Technique: Joen Inkan (Salt Removal Seal)
Type of Jutsu: Fuuinjutsu
Rank: B
Range: Variable
Nature Type: N/A
Handsigns: N/A
Description: Removes unnatural amounts of salt in an area or purifies salt water to fresh water.
Weakness: No combat applications.

Name of Technique: Jōkamon (Purifying Gate)
Type of Jutsu: Fuuinjutsu
Rank: B
Range: Variable
Nature Type: N/A
Handsigns: N/A
Description: Purifies all water coming in contact with the seal. These are placed on the water sources within the village. It also allows water to pass through the seal to the corresponding seal on the other side.
Weakness: N/A

Name of Technique: Junsui (Pure Water)
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Range: N/A
Nature Type: Suiton
Handsigns: 0
Description: This technique is more of a product of training than an actual named technique. Ayameko's skills with water release have become significant enough that she can produce pure water instead of water containing trace amounts of minerals and allowing it to be conductive. She can choose what type of water produces when using Water Release.

【Personality】
Kyoku is a difficult character to explain as her personality adapts to situations and individuals rather than remaining static. As an extremely talented manipulator whose talents lie almost exclusively in her ability to change the perceptions of her allies, friends, and enemies Kyoko is capable of acting the part for any role that she is called upon to play. She can be cold and unfeeling, or she can be warm and empathetic, she can be insightful and wise or naive and ignorant - all of these acts are tools, and she makes liberal use of them depending on how she wishes to be seen. A woman of many disguises is prone to losing track of the constants of her own personality, but Kyoko has certain traits that define who she is and what she does on such a fundamental and inherently necessary level that she will always retain some level of individuality.

Kyoko is a deeply loving person, and the majority of this love is focused upon her sister. Her self-imposed exile is all that keeps her sister intact, and though it pains her greatly to be away from the person she is closest to in this world she knows that it is a necessary evil and feels both the overwhelming sorrow of her loss and incredible ecstasy that her sister is alive and well for as long as Kyoko does not interact with her. Kyoko's love for her sister is indeed so strong that she has no room for love of another in her heart, and though she makes genuine friends she will never take a lover who could replace or intrude upon her sister's place in her heart. Another of Kyoko's inherent traits is her almost legendary intellect - she carries with her the spark of true genius that can never truly be repressed, even if she can fool most people, true genius is impossible to ever truly hide from another. With great intellect comes a great perception of things other people cannot understand, and being separated from her sister has left Kyoko with nobody to share these burdens with. Kyoko is occasionally driven towards a deep melancholy, but always sees the light and returns to normalcy with time.

Despite her great love for her sister, Kyoko is still a Hyakune and still has morals and values that are typically viewed as unsavoury by most. Her self-worth is a constant, but her value of others is largely determined by the power they wield and how they wield it - those with the most power and least inclination to use it earn her ire, as do those with little power and fewer aspirations - but her ire is likely something they will never see for as long as they can be useful, and the last thing they see when they have outlived their usefulness. Kyoko believes firmly in power and knowledge, and while she is very accepting of those who consign themselves to a life of mediocrity as circumstances dictate or simply for a lack of ability to succeed she is the opposite for those who can but do not.

Kyoko seeks knowledge at all cost, especially that which is forbidden, not only to save her sister but also to ensure that the power of eld is never lost and never abused. She will have multiple agendas at any given point, and she will betray and backstab all who get in her way, but she sees these things as small prices to pay for the greater good that she can bring to the world with the knowledge and power that she accrues. It is often said that those who do evil things do not believe that they are evil - Kyoko is no exception to this, and genuinely believes that she is the best person to wield forgotten powers in order to preserve them and protect the greater good. While Kyoko may not agree on the definition of "greater good" with many individuals, she is a fundamentally good person at heart who legitimately believes that the end justifies the means, and she is willing to pay the price that most are not to further herself and keep the world safe.



【History】

The Hyakune clan have, for ages, been the stewards not of a single style, but of many. In fact, their name, Hyakune [百根; One Hundred Roots], was made in homage of the core principle of the clan - Each member would be unique, each would take one of the many roots available to it and grow outwards, away from any of its brethren, but still connected at their very core. Before the clan were even introduced to the concept of Ninjutsu, or chakra at all, they trained themselves in as many arts as they knew how, each member of the clan becoming an authority on their chosen style. This left the clan in an odd state of simultaneous weakness and strength; while the clan members were too focused as individuals to cover their glaring weaknesses, when the clan moved as a cohesive group they were nigh unstoppable simply because they, together, knew so much more than any other clan when it came to the scope of technique. Such was the way of the clan, as its founder Sōgyō-sha had dictated.

Sōgyō-sha had believed - firmly - that weakness should be purged from his sons and daughters at as young an age as was possible, and in his wisdom (and cruelty) he developed a system for which the clan would be raised by, and a system for which the clan would be governed. By nurturing the child's journey from childhood to adulthood with the intention of purging them of weakness, and then foisting them directly into a position of power beyond the scope of their experience, he brought much heartbreak and suffering into the world, and not all of his children survived the rigorous training... But those who did emerged as stronger beings than their lesser brethren, leading the Hyakune clan to heights that others could only dare to reach out to. Children were raised as if in a collectivist society, in which they would all grow up together with no separate households, but largely without the traditional maternal and paternal influence that was expected of such a society. Instead, the mothers and the fathers of the children would train them in the various arts that they had found themselves attracted to, and children would practice everything they could until they found something they had an affinity for - or better - made a new style of their own. To make a new style of one's own was considered to be a sign of future greatness, and such children were lifted from the terrible conditions in which they lived before into greatness, to nurture their talents and to ensure that the Hyakune would always expand, and always grow.

The children, once they reached the age of eight, would quickly become devoid of typical maternal and paternal influences, and were also deprived of guaranteed resources. There was plenty of food in the clan compound's pantries, but the children were forbidden to simply walk in and take what they wanted. The children had to steal, without being caught, and would eat only what they could earn - those who learned to adapt to their harsh conditions were empowered, but some children died from starvation. Pity was not something bred into the members of the clan, after all. The children of the Hyakune believed in one core mantra throughout their childhood, one truth that empowered them: "The crime is not in taking whatever actions you must, but in being caught doing so.". After training for 14 hours a day, every day, for 6 years, the children that had not found their unique talents in the clan were resigned simply to follow what was established and had appealed to them most. They were not disrespected, per se, but they were rank and file. They were unimportant.

Those who forged a new path, who contributed to the growth of the clan, were thrust into positions of power that they had no experience in - they were made an elder of the clan. The clan's "legal" system, as it were, involved a circle of elders who had marked themselves as great individuals that made requests and then voted on their implementation, not unlike the jury at a court. The eldest male and eldest female were collectively the judge of the clan, and had ultimate power should such a need arise. Life on the Council of Elders was a tough one, as every action and non-action had consequences that the rest of the clan would have to face. The once-children who had been born for greatness had power beyond their stations forced onto them, and they either learned quickly or were killed by people who loathed their inability to take action (or their tendency to take the incorrect action.)

Children who survived all of this, who survived every trial put before them, would emerge as the pinnacle of the human world, they would emerge capable leaders with immense, and unique, fighting skills that would put them far above mere mortals, and they could do anything in the world that they so chose... Until the dawn of the Rikudo Sennin. The advent of Ninjutsu, and of Kekkei Genkai, changed the Hyakune clan immensely, for the secrets of their blood were unlocked, and its members found even more avenues to specialise into. With other ninjas rising, and clans coming to fruition, the Hyakune clan were forced to train even more than usual in order to keep up with the flood of Ninjutsu that echoed throughout the world. They belonged to no major village, but their services were offered freely to all as mercenaries, and it is said that each Kage of each village has called upon at least one member of the Hyakune clan in their time of need once. Whether or not such is true is a point of contention, but one thing was certain: The Hyakune clan were walking on thin ice, and in order to persevere, they would have to become the best at an art in which they had no particular advantage.

That was, until, the Hyakune clan realised the extent of their bloodline. Unlike most clans, the Hyakune's bloodline was not singular, it was not one static ability that each of its members possessed. Even their blood, it seemed, followed the clan's founder's vision. Their bloodline, the Tōsei no Eien [Eternal Control], manifested itself as an exceptional level of control over the user's chakra, which often manifested in the form of an aura around the user, an extension of their chakra systems outside of their body. Each member expressed it differently, due to their own personal DNA affecting the bloodline (as the Tōsei no Eien was not on a single chromosome - how the other chromosomes were formed had differing effects on the actual expression of the bloodline, but due to the relative positions of the genes (which remained constant) the bloodline kept its basis). Unfortunately, this meant that each member had to learn their bloodline alone, with no aid from members who expressed a similar bloodline, and the Hyakune's attention was divided as its members struggled to subjugate their new power, as well as practice in the arts of Ninjutsu and Genjutsu. The clan was already markedly proficient at Taijutsu and Kenjutsu, but in a world where Ninjutsu existed, such was not enough to succeed.

Time passed, and as the Rikudo Sennin died and his legacy was divided, the Hyakune took their training further, as a new generation had had time to be born with Jutsu and their Kekkei Genkai. This new generation was quick to subjugate the power that flowed through them, and the Hyakune clan was raised once more to among the top clans of the ninja world. They tentatively allied themselves with Konohagakure, building a new compound there for their older members, and became productive members of the village, providing it with protection in its times of need, and able workers who were much more efficient than the peons that they would have used otherwise. Their assistance came at a steep cost: The Hyakune would be above the law of the village, preferring to keep to their own council of elders, and these terms were agreed to. The newer members of the Hyakune clan remained at their old compound, around 15 miles from Konohagakure, training as they always had for the dawn of a war that nobody could see coming.

Hyakune, Kyoko began her life unlike many of the Hyakune. Most come into this world alone, brave it alone, and die alone with naught but scribbles in books and fleeting memories to acknowledge that they had ever existed in the first place - but Kyoko came into this world with another, with her twin sister Kagami, and the bond of birth was strong enough to overcome the crippling loneliness instilled in most members of the Hyakune to condition them towards a life of combat and treachery. Until the age of eight, many members of the Hyakune live a life good by many standards - they are loved and nurtured by their parents, fed well, and build strong relationships with one another.

At the age of eight, this changes, and the fledgling Hyakune are ripped from the world they know to undergo training to become a member of the Hyakune proper. Most siblings cease thinking of one another as intimately familial, instead considering them to be simply another clan member, but Kyoko and Kagami could not be separated despite the best efforts of their trainers. Such corner cases were rare in the Hyakune, and the Elders decreed that breaking the bond was significantly more difficult than strengthening it in service to the clan. Kyoko's talents lay within her fantastic mind, her ability to manipulate the knowledge she gleaned far beyond most of her lesser brethren (and even more so than some of the Elders, even at a young age) - but she could not work chakra in the same way that the other Hyakune could. Kagami's talents were precisely the opposite of Kyoko's, her talent for manipulating her aura and chakra as a whole was far beyond anything her cousins could have ever hoped to achieve.

Normally, Kyoko's lack of prowess in the field of Ninjutsu would have sentenced her to domesticity or death - but Kagami took her place in many of the tests that required a manipulation of chakra and she was spared the wrath of the Elders for a time. As she came into her own, Kyoko realised that her ability to manipulate people was more than it seemed, and she learned that the path of Genjutsu was her destiny. It did not take Kyoko long to apply her studies of chakra control to her natural aptitude for Genjutsu, and she unlocked the true power of her Kekkei Genkai - a trait that most Hyakune did not achieve until adulthood. It was not mere coincidence that Kagami also unlocked her true power that same day.

The Elders decreed that the two would undergo a dangerous mission to prove their loyalty to the clan, and that if they returned they would be allowed to join them not as fledglings, nor as rank and file Hyakune, but as Elders. Such a prospect was treated with much suspicion by Kyoko - she wondered what precisely could possess the Elders to offer such an illustrious position to two as young as they, and what the mission they were about to undertake would entail. Kagami was all for the mission, and Kyoko could only think that her sister saw the glory and not the trap offered by the Elders - but to refuse them was certain death, so they accepted and were sent to Kusagakure to meet with an emissary that wished to trade with the clan. Kagami and Kyoko travelled to the destination and came face to face with none other than the leader of the Immortal Scions, Jikangai, Kinjiro.

Kinjiro explained that the Hyakune had offered their best and brightest to her in exchange for thrice their weight in gold - for the burgeoning clan, this would give them a considerable head start - and that Kagami and Kyoko were to be the toll that the clan paid. She explained who she was, what she did, and gave them a history of her clan and even of the conception of chakra (questions that had always burned deep within Kyoko's mind), and offered them the chance to willingly join her as equals rather than as slaves. For the first time, Kyoko and Kagami were of differing opinions. Kagami was enraged by the elders' willingness to sell the twins, and demanded that they pay due reparations for their misdeeds, whereas Kyoko believed that Kinjiro could offer a far brighter future than the Hyakune could ever have offered either of them. Kyoko was quick to point out that the clan had tried to separate them, and had only ever allowed them to be together under terms befitting the capricious nature of the Elders - that with Kinjiro, they could be free of those shackles and live as equals with more power than the Hyakune Elders could ever have known.

Kagami agreed, but beneath it all her heart longed for the vengeance and justice denied to her. The pair accepted Kinjiro's offer, and were introduced to the world of the Immortal Scions. After receiving the Gift of Immortality, the pair were set to work using their unique chakra auras to research chakra on a level that their Jikangai colleagues had been unable to beforehand. It was later revealed that Kyoko's Kekkei Genkai afforded her a natural inclination towards the potent sealing techniques of the Jikangai, and she quickly became a favourite among the group. Kagami's talents were useful, but as she had no talent for fuuinjutsu she was not nearly as prized as her sister. Kagami quickly became jealous, and sought other secrets to keep level with her sister as she always had. Years and years passed, and though Kagami grew as powerful as Kyoko did under the tutelage of the Jikangai, she was not favoured nearly so much and largely spent her time with Kinjiro, who offered training that the other Immortal Scions could not offer.

Kyoko knew little of Kagami's activities in the light of the overwhelming amount of research she conducted, and though she tried to connect with her twin, she found that Kagami slipped further and further away each day. Rangether than bring these concerns to the now-distant Kagami, Kyoko asked Kinjiro if she had any explanations for Kagami's behaviour. Kinjiro was remarkably forthcoming, telling Kyoko of the progress that she had made and the bonds that she had been able to create that her sister could not - and her sister had increasingly sought new sources of power to keep up with her as the pair had always tried to be equals. Kyoko attempted to reconcile with Kagami, only to find her missing from her quarters and from the laboratory as a whole. Kinjiro had not sent Kagami away, and both became increasingly concerned with the disappearance of by all rights an extraordinarily powerful ninja.

It was discovered, after several weeks of searching, that Kagami had breached Kinjiro's inner sanctum and stolen from her an artifact of great power - something that had been locked away for good reason. Kyoko expected Kinjiro to be furious, to excommunicate Kagami and herself both, but to her surprise the serpentine woman offered sympathy and a chance for redemption. She would help Kyoko find Kagami and return her to the path of the Immortal Scions - after all, the two were extraordinarily powerful and had fit in remarkably well despite Kyoko's higher popularity taking most of the attention. Kinjiro desired that power to be under her command, and Kyoko desired to save her sister from whatever force was consuming her.

For many years Kyoko searched, using her ability to manipulate and deceive people in order to extract information as to the whereabouts of her sister before every lead was exhausted and she turned to the last people that could possibly have known where Kagami had found herself: The Hyakune Elders. Kyoko's return was met with much mistrust, and she was granted an audience only after incapacitating every able member of the Hyakune who could have stopped her. Each Elder was offered a chance to co-operate, and each refused, before Kyoko extracted all information from their minds and left them none the wiser that she had ever visited. The Elders knew nothing of her current whereabouts, but offered the information that several of the extant Hyakune scouts had failed to report back and had likely been murdered. It was unlikely that the locals had killed them as Hyakune scouts were notably difficult to find and more difficult to kill, so Kagami's intervention (as she was the only rogue Hyakune to Kyoko and the Elder's knowledge) was the most promising lead she had, all things considered.

Some weeks later, Kyoko found herself stalking the trail of her twin sister. The scouts had been murdered in a way that suggested Kagami's distinct glass-based style and it looked like the murders were conflicted - Kagami's style had always been brutal, yes, but it was efficient and quick. Her kills were swift and painless, not the tattered mess of blood and glass and bone that Kyoko had discovered. Had Kagami gone mad? Had she snapped at whatever it was in Kinjiro's lab that she had found? Questions upon questions raced within Kyoko's mind, and the trail had been haphazard, hard to follow - it was mostly subtle memories of stolen glances, a hooded figure in the periphery, and the details were hazy. Still, it was a track to follow, and it was better than nothing.

Kyoko found Kagami weeks later, about to murder another Hyakune scout in the area. Though it was easy to distract her enough for the scout to escape, Kagami soon turned her full attention to her sister - and what Kyoko discovered unsettled her greatly. There was no look of love, of guilt, of sorrow - her eyes were empty, vacant, as if the body was simply a shell stripped of what had made it Kagami, of what had made her sister. A fight ensued, and though Kyoko was gravely injured she managed to subdue Kagami with potent sealing techniques given to her by Kinjiro. After summoning Kinjiro to the location and being healed, Kinjiro offered an explanation after confirming for herself what had happened.

Kagami had stolen a scroll that sealed an extradimensional entity called the "Kyōmen no Oni", the Mirrors' Surface Demon and taken its power into herself, which had complimented her own glass-based style of combat remarkably well. The demon wrestled with Kagami, struggling to take control of her body, and though she had largely resisted and kept her individuality for the time being, it was only a matter of time before the demon won and Kagami was lost forever. The demon could not be resealed without killing Kagami, and though Kinjiro was willing to pay the price, Kyoko could not desert her sister. She worked with Kinjiro to seal the demon deep within Kagami, to allow her to live her own life, but she was the key to that seal - for Kagami to live, she would never be able to meet Kyoko again. With the scroll returned (and thus its power free of the plague of the demon it contained) Kinjiro offered refuge to either Kagami or Kyoko - Kyoko chose to leave, to keep her sister safe, and would operate on the surface world. Though she did not fully trust Kinjiro, she had been remarkably kind to her and the time they had together was something she cherished. Kyoko left Kagami in her hands, and though she was bound by no covenant she offered her services in exchange for knowledge and power - a deal that Kinjiro was all too happy to accept.

During the wars, Kyoko spearheaded the initiative to stop the rampaging bijuu and was the primary diplomat between the nations – her considerable expertise allowed many accords and treaties to be signed and enacted to empower the foreign dignitaries and remaining Fuuinjutsu experts to seal away the bijuu. Kyoko also worked as the leader of the intelligence efforts of the villages and of the Kyuuseishu itself, which proved invaluable in tracking down the various roaming bijuu and formulating battle strategies to ensure that as few people were lost as possible – though she could not save as many as she liked and this has weighed heavily upon her ever since.

After the bijuu were sealed, Kyoko remained as the head of the organisation, being the only one in whom all of the remaining Kage had trust in to not abuse the position that she was given. Opinions of her have risen and fallen since then, but none can dispute that her reach is long and her methods effective, and she is keeping a close eye on anything possibly going awry with the fragile peace that she has helped foster within the nations.



【Chakra Nature(s)】
Kyoko has no natural affinity for a chakra nature due to being completely unable to use Ninjutsu of any variety. As a true Genjutsu prodigy, she has a strong affinity for Yin chakra.

【Abilities and Special Traits】
Kyoko is among the most proficient genjutsu users alive, easily able to put her foes under genjutsu to control and manipulate their mind. She is able to use these genjutsu in combat to err her foes’ judgement proficiently.

Kyoko has savant-level intelligence, and her IQ is easily 180+. She is one of the most powerful minds of her generation, able to process complex tactics easily as well as discern the strengths and limits of techniques she sees due to her vast knowledge of techniques as a whole. Kyoko is perceptive to the extreme, able to see things lesser people would miss and make bridges of logic to discern reasoning where none seems to exist.

Kyoko is possibly the most skilled manipulator in the world, able to use her natural charm and wit, as well as her body to coerce almost anybody into trusting her, where she is then able to bend them to her desire.

Kyoko is, after her extended training with the Jikangai, quite proficient at Taijutsu. She is easily able to stand toe-to-toe with experts and could fend off masters, though she would have extreme difficulty in combatting raw strength and superior technique. She has learned the Wing-Chun style, and with her incredible mind mastered it within the 6 years she has been practicing. The training given to all Hyakune clan members has also refined Kyoko’s taijutsu skills and her general fitness.

Kyoko is able to create Jikangai Primer Seals in order to utilise their sealing techniques, but cannot create new Jikangai-based seals.

Kyoko is biologically immortal after taking Jikangai Kinjiro's Elixir of Immortality.

【Weapons, Tools and Equipment】

Name of Weapon or Item: Kuroi Kamen [The Black Veil]
Location: On Kyoko’s head at all times.
Owner: Kyoko Hyakune su Jikangai
Rank: A

Description: The Kuroi Kamen is a black veil that is comprised of two bolts of cloth. Each of these bolts are sealed to allow no passage of chakra into them, but to allow chakra out, and are surprisingly difficult to cut through [they resist most swords easily]. In addition to this aspect of the veil, it is also a mask that covers Kyoko’s ears, mouth, nose and eyes. This mask is covered in seals that filter out any harmful substances that would enter Kyoko’s body, in addition to dampening any particularly loud sounds or sounds designed to have an adverse effect on the body.

Kyoko carries with her, at all times:

- 25 Kunai, each marked with a Kyōsei Keiyaku Kuchiyose no Jutsu seal

- 100 senbon, standard size, in a canister attached to a belt on her waist on her left side. These senbon are coated in a paralytic venom of Jikangai, Kinjiro’s creation (the venom has no known antidote, but one could be synthesised by a medical ninja of sufficient prowess). The venom lasts for 24 hours and only interferes with the somatic nervous system.

- A scroll containing a Kyōsei Keiyaku Kuchiyose no Jutsu that, when she places both of her hands upon it, immediately reverse summons her to her home. [Cannot be used in combat]

- A scroll containing a large volume of books with various sealing formulae and lists of techniques she has encountered in the past.

- A scroll containing several bottles of ink, several quills, and a stack of loose parchment imbued with chakra.



【Kekkei Genkai】

Tōsei no Eien; Tenchi Gensō

Name of the Kekkei Genkai: Tōsei no Eien; Tenchi Gensō [Eternal Control; Heaven and Earth Illusion]
Type of Kekkei Genkai: Chakra Augmentation and Genjutsu/Fūinjutsu

Clan: Hyakune

Rank: A

Description: The Tōsei no Eien is a potent Kekkei Genkai that manifests differently in each of its bearers. Throughout the entire Hyakune clan, however, some effects are universal: All members of the Hyakune clan have gained an "aura" of chakra, usually spanning approximately 20 feet in radius. Their chakra system has been "extended" outside of their body, and the aura is of extremely weak chakra but the fact it exists is enough for the members of the clan. In addition to this aura, the user gains chakra control almost to the pinnacle of chakra control with training. This aura allows the user to exert their almost complete control over their chakra onto foreign [loose, not inside a body] chakra that enters it. It can be dampened to reduce its effectiveness, or it can be bolstered by the user's chakra to increase its effectiveness. The user's aura essentially makes the area in which it spans a "network" in which they may move their chakra, and thus entire jutsu, with ease, allowing them to start the jutsu at any part within the aura. Some techniques, such as genjutsu, can be forced upon victims if they are simply in range of the aura.

Tenchi Gensō

The Tenchi Gensō is a potent evolution of the Tōsei no Eien, one which holds sway over the realm of Illusion and Seals. Through the Tenchi Gensō, the user is easily able to lull people into genjutsu as long as they are within the chakra aura, and minor [B-Ranked or less] genjutsu can be forced onto an opponent simply by pointing at them. The true strengths of the technique lie in its subtle abilities to manipulate illusions, as well as blur the boundary in the mind that separates illusion from reality. Some genjutsu are simply too "fake" for the mind to accept as real. When this natural reservation, this natural barrier is breached, the victim of a genjutsu will believe it to be real regardless of initial apprehension. This does not make the illusions infallible, it merely removes initial apprehensions as to the genjutsu being false. Logic and reasoning can eventually overcome the breaching of the natural barrier, but this undoubtedly makes the genjutsu many more times more potent. This aspect of the Kekkei Genkai is: 地 [Chi; Earth], the mortal coil.

The second aspect is 天 [Ten; Heaven], the aspect transcending the mortal plane. With Ten, two things happen: Kyoko transcends the traditional plane in terms of genjutsu, and can no longer become subject to any genjutsu bar her own under any circumstances. Much as a two dimensional shape cannot interact with a three dimensional shape, the primitive genjutsu of the mortal coil are unable to interact with Kyoko. The second aspect of "Ten" is that she becomes able to influence genjutsu on the mortal plane, as well as her own, as long as they are within her aura. She is not able to hugely alter them, mind, she is only able to change subtle aspects and mould them to her will within their natural progression - she could, for example, choose between whichever torture methods she so chose within a genjutsu designed to torture, but could never alter a genjutsu that lulled the opponent to sleep to them burning alive.

Weakness: However, this aura comes at a steep cost: As the Kekkei Genkai manifests and the user gains their unique version, they are locked into that "version"'s jutsu style and become unable to utilise their chakra for anything outside of it. Kyoko's Tenchi Gensō has locked her in to the fields of Genjutsu and Fūinjutsu, and she is unable to use her chakra for any purpose outside of this bloodline, genjutsu or fūinjutsu.

【Canon Jutsu】

Kyoko is proficient in all canon genjutsu not tied to a kekkei genkai.

【Custom Jutsu】

Name of Technique: Saimin Suimin [Hypnotic Sleep]
Type of Jutsu: Genjutsu; Fūinjutsu
Rank: A
Range: Touch; Eyesight; Tōsei no Eien
Nature Type: N/A
Handseals: N/A

Description: A potent delayed Genjutsu that will activate upon Kyoko willing it. Kyoko manifests a seal on her opponent that they cannot perceive by any means until it is brought to their attention (this can only be done through touch). At Kyoko’s command, the seal activates, and the Genjutsu begins to activate.

Targets affected by the Saimin Suimin are lulled towards a state of half-sleep, immediately separating their somatic nervous system from their control as they fall asleep over the course of thirty seconds. Unlike most Genjutsu, Saimin Suimin does not require any additional input from the user after its effects have taken hold, and the user is able to take other actions for its duration.

The Genjutsu is naturally removed after the target falls asleep, and the lingering effects of the seal prevent the target from being awoken for an hour after the genjutsu has taken hold, after which time the seal naturally dissipates. If the seal is removed prematurely, the target will wake up. Kyoko cannot attack sleeping targets with this seal.

Weakness: Something something dark side.

Name of Technique: Ome Itetsuku [Vision Freeze]
Type of Jutsu: Genjutsu
Rank: D
Range: Touch; Eyesight; Tōsei no Eien
Nature Type: N/A
Handseals: N/A

Description: Ome Itetsuku causes the target’s vision to become locked into the instance it was viewing as the genjutsu was used. If the target was looking at Kyoko against a white background, for example, the target would only see that single image until the genjutsu was dispelled. Ome Itetsuku can be applied if the target is looking at Kyoko from any distance, including up to an additional twenty feet outside of the Tōsei no Eien due to its simplicity.

Weakness: N/A

Name of Technique: Shūhen Kagizaki [Peripheral Tear]
Type of Jutsu: Genjutsu
Rank: D
Range: Touch; Eyesight; Tōsei no Eien
Nature Type: N/A
Handseals: N/A

Description: The Shūhen Kagizaki creates a tear in the victim’s peripheral vision, meaning that they can never truly focus on the tear due to it being in the peripheral vision, but it will always be just out of sight. The tear manifests itself as an appearance of cracked glass, and is highly disorienting – even the most adept sensor nin will not be able to glean any information from their peripheral vision.

Weakness: N/A

Name of Technique: Tsu no Hikari de Ni [By the Light of the Sun]
Type of Jutsu: Genjutsu
Rank: C
Range: Touch; Eyesight; Tōsei no Eien
Nature Type: N/A
Handseals: N/A

Description: Tsu no Hikari de Ni causes the opponent to no longer be able to see by the light of the sun. Any light provided by the sun will become absolute dark to the victim, and they will be forced to use artificial light to be able to see through the absolute darkness.

Weakness: N/A

Name of Technique: Zenkei Ome Itetsuku [Panoramic Vision Freeze]
Type of Jutsu: Genjutsu
Rank: C
Range: Touch; Eyesight; Tōsei no Eien
Nature Type: N/A
Handseals: N/A

Description: Much like the normal Ome Itetsuku, however, the Zenkei Ome Itetsuku causes the entire landscape around a user to be frozen in place rather than the sole image they were concentrating on at the time.

Weakness: N/A

Name of Technique: Gensoku Jikan [Slowed Time]
Type of Jutsu: Genjutsu
Rank: Z
Range: Touch; Eyesight; Tōsei no Eien
Nature Type: N/A
Handseals: N/A

Description: The Gensoku Jikan is a peculiar genjutsu allowing Kyoko to control an opponent’s sense of time. She is quite proficient with this genjutsu, able to distort the victim’s sense of time so much that one second becomes fifteen minutes - their mind is overloaded with sensory information but the body cannot keep up, effectively slowing them to a crawl and leaving them virtually unable to act. This also causes every one second of genjutsu Kyoko, or any opponent, uses on the victim to be amplified in terms of time, making them more powerful. Kyoko and her target are both immobilised for the duration of the genjutsu unless an Eien no Inkan maintains the Gensoku Jikan. Kyoko cannot attack targets under the effect of Gensoku Jikan, except with Genjutsu and Fūinjutsu.

Weakness: N/A

Name of Technique: Shosai no Kogeru [Burning the Libraries]
Type of Jutsu: Genjutsu
Rank: B
Range: Touch; Eyesight; Tōsei no Eien
Nature Type: N/A
Handseals: N/A

Description: This genjutsu, simply enough, allows the user to erase memories so long as they know the memory they wish to erase. In addition, the user may create mental blocks that prevent the user from accessing specific memories.

Memories erased by Shosai no Kogeru cannot be recovered by any means, as the memories are completely forgotten and their chemical traces removed by natural means.

Weakness: The blocks can be overcome with great concentration [not pragmatic in a battle situation].

Name of Technique: Rei Yakedo [Spirit Burn]
Type of Jutsu: Genjutsu
Rank: A
Range: Touch; Eyesight; Tōsei no Eien
Nature Type: N/A
Handseals: N/A

Description: Rei Yakedo causes the target to feel an exceptionally intense burning pain throughout their entire chakra system (and thus entire body) whenever they expend chakra, but does not otherwise affect the opponent. If the target comes within 20 feet of Kyoko, she can instead cause the genjutsu to create the sensation of pain continuously for up to one minute. All but the most hardened of ninja will pass out from the pain caused by Rei Yakedo if it is allowed to cause pain a number of times in rapid succession. Rei Yakedo lasts for up to one minute, excluding any time in which it is activated within 20 feet of Kyoko.

Weakness: The genjutsu can only be placed once every five minutes.

Name of Technique: Miruhito no Me [Eye of the Beholder]
Type of Jutsu: Genjutsu
Rank: A
Range: Personal
Nature Type: N/A
Handseals: N/A

Description: Kyoko compresses her aura into that of a cloak surrounding her, reducing her range and dispelling any existing genjutsu that have been applied with her Tousei no Eien. For a small but constant expenditure of chakra, Kyoko continually projects a Genjutsu that acts as a perception filter – anyone who looks at her inherently knows that a person is there, but wishes to keep them in the periphery of their mind and ignore them. Due to the Ten aspect of her Tousei no Eien, any inconsistencies caused by her presence are smoothed over and she is essentially completely invisible for as long as she does not do anything to unduly draw attention towards herself.

If necessary, provided that she has an image in mind, Kyoko can also cause the Genjutsu to make her appear like someone else for the duration. This is very mentally taxing to use on multiple individuals simultaneously, and prevents Kyoko from using other techniques for the duration.

Name of Technique: Hakujitsumu [Waking Dream]
Type of Jutsu: Genfuuinjutsu
Rank: C
Range: Touch; Eyesight; Tōsei no Eien
Nature Type: N/A
Handseals: N/A

Description: Kyoko brands her target with a seal that vanishes upon application, lying dormant deep within them until it is activated (from anywhere) by Kyoko creating a primer seal treated with the target’s blood.

When Hakujitsumu is activated, Kyoko takes control of their body and her own body is disabled, and Kyoko is able to control them for as long as she does not enter combat. She is unable to force the target to harm themselves, to put themselves into harm’s way or to harm another. The target shows no signs of being controlled outwardly, but sensor nin can detect the activation of their chakra and the presence of the seal. Kyoko retains all information gained from using this technique through the seals linking the target and Kyoko together.

For the duration of Kyoko controlling the target, they are trapped in a genjutsu that gives them pleasant dreams, and when the technique ends they awaken with no recollection of what happened during the technique’s duration.

Weakness: The target is able to break free from the genjutsu and end the effect prematurely if control is taken at a moment where they are alert, removing the seal completely. Other people are able to remove the genjutsu effect from the target (and Kyoko cannot stop them as she cannot enter combat while using the technique).

Name of Technique: Ishiki Zansuru [Sensory Banish]
Type of Jutsu: Genfuuinjutsu
Rank: A
Range: Touch; Eyesight; Tōsei no Eien
Nature Type: N/A
Handseals: N/A

Description: Kyoko manifests a complex seal on her target while simultaneously placing them under a genjutsu that completely eliminates their sense of Sight, Sound, Touch, Taste, or Smell. The Fūinjutsu is not visible to the target for as long as the Genjutsu is intact, and the Genjutsu cannot be removed by the target while the Fūinjutsu remains intact.

Weakness: N/A

Name of Technique: Gōmon [Torture]
Type of Jutsu: Genjutsu
Rank: A
Range: Touch; Eyesight; Tōsei no Eien
Nature Type: N/A
Handseals: N/A

Description: A versatile technique that places its target in an isolated room with a host of torture tools. Kyoko can use these tools in any way she likes, and pain cannot remove the genjutsu from the victim by any means. The only effective way to be released from the technique is externally, but those with an incredibly high pain tolerance are able to Kai out of the technique.

Weakness: Can be resisted if the victim is particularly strong-willed, but not while Saimin Suimin is active.

Name of Technique: Kyōzō [Mirror Image]
Type of Jutsu: Genjutsu
Rank: A
Range: Touch; Eyesight; Tōsei no Eien
Nature Type: N/A
Handseals: N/A

Description: A genjutsu that allows Kyoko to completely evade any sensory perception available to its target by creating a clone of Kyoko that they can track. For as long as the clone is alive within the genjutsu it will last, and the genjutsu is undetectable to the individual in question. The genjutsu can be brought to their attention by an external party, but due to its subtlety it is difficult to detect except by the most potent of sensory ninja.

Weakness: N/A

Name of Technique: In Somnis Veritas [In Dreams There Are Truth]
Type of Jutsu: Genjutsu
Rank: A
Range: Touch; Eyesight; Tōsei no Eien
Nature Type: N/A
Handseals: N/A

Description: In Somnis Veritas is a powerful interrogation Genjutsu, allowing Kyoko to directly access the target’s subconscious mind and memories with no interference from their waking mind. This prevents any resistance that is not completely automatic, and automatic resistances will be assaulted until they are broken. The only information that In Somnis Veritas cannot force a victim to reveal is information that they do not know. False information is effective against In Somnis Veritas.

Weakness: Requires the victim be asleep. The jutsu will end abruptly if the victim is forced out of sleep, and heavy mental resistances will delay the jutsu’s effectiveness - But if the target is asleep indefinitely or by unnatural means, this does not apply.

Name of Technique: Setsuri no Hametsu [Providence’s Bane]
Type of Jutsu: Genjutsu
Rank: B
Range: Touch; Eyesight; Tōsei no Eien
Nature Type: N/A
Handseals: N/A

Description: Kyoko crafts a genjutsu of unparalleled intricacy based on her chosen target’s thought processes and general tendencies. As soon as the victim is affected by Setsuri no Hametsu, events will unfold precisely at the target predicts they would. The target will act according to their plans in the genjutsu - which is visible to Kyoko - but will not move in the physical world as events unfold. As soon as Setsuri no Hametsu ends (At Kyoko’s discretion), the target has no recollection of having been within the genjutsu unless Kyoko specifically wills it. Additionally, Kyoko is also able to force the target’s body to move according to the plan while the genjutsu is in place should she desire.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Zensekai Gensō [Total World Illusion]
Type of Jutsu: Genjutsu
Rank: S+
Range: Within the Tenkan no Inkan.
Nature Type: N/A
Handseals: N/A

Description: The Zensekai Gensō is Kyoko’s most powerful genjutsu, allowing her to completely and utterly take control of an opponent’s senses and mould everything they can possibly sense as she sees fit. The illusion is completely infallible, and no doujutsu or illusion removal technique can pierce it while the victim is within the boundaries of the Tenkan no Inkan. The range is, as aforementioned, within the four Tenkan no Inkan, which Kyoko must place around someone, or as a “trap” for them to walk into. Should the victim be released from the illusion, while they are in the four seals they are immediately returned exactly where the illusion was and will suffer no recollection of being out of it. Kyoko also controls time within this illusion, to such an extent that she may extend the illusion’s time for years. This jutsu is so finely created and maintained that Kyoko can control the entire world of each person within it, up to four people, with one for each of the Tenkan no Inkan. This genjutsu is so powerful that it fools all sapient beings regardless of “immunity” or extenuating circumstances. In addition, Kyoko is able to manipulate the memories and past experiences of people within the genjutsu, causing subtle lasting changes in the victim.

Weakness: Devastating chakra loss; bound to a very specific area.

Name of Technique: Eien no Inkan [Seal of Eternity]
Type of Jutsu: Fūinjutsu
Rank: A
Range: Personal
Nature Type: N/A
Handseals: N/A

Description: A seal that can be imbued with immense amounts of chakra and applied as an addition to an existing seal or laid out in a circle in an area. Natural effects cannot expire while under the effect of the Eien no Inkan, as the seals will use their chakra to fuel whatever effect it is they are prolonging. Kyoko can use this seal in conjunction with a Genjutsu to prevent her opponents from releasing themselves from it, as the seal will reapply the Genjutsu should they be removed from it. Additionally, the victim of the Genjutsu will not remember having released themselves from it for as long as the Eien no Inkan persists.

Weakness: N/A

Name of Technique: Shiketsutai no Inkan [Seal of the Tourniquet]
Type of Jutsu: Fūinjutsu
Rank: A
Range: Personal
Nature Type: N/A
Handseals: N/A

Description: Kyoko creates a seal that bars the passage of chakra through it under any circumstances, instead using the chakra to fuel the existence of the seal. The seal will prevent all sensory techniques reliant on chakra from sensing past them, prevent the passage of any ninjutsu or genjutsu through its bounds, and if applied to the body prevents chakra from reaching any parts cut off by it. This will cause necrosis and kill the body part off as if it were suffering from a complete lack of oxygenated blood.

The seal is a temporary construct unless inscribed in ink, and will dissipate after ten minutes unless it is placed on the body, where it will last until removed or there is no more chakra to sustain its existence.

Weakness: The seal will only last for ten minutes unless placed on the body, where it will last for up to 48 hours.

Name of Technique: Jiryoku no Fū [Seal of Attraction]
Type of Jutsu: Fūinjutsu
Rank: A
Range: Touch
Nature Type: N/A
Handseals: N/A

Description: Kyoko has tattooed this seal onto her left palm. When she focuses her chakra into it, it glows with a faint blue colour and the next object Kyoko touches with her left hand will be attracted to the seal on her palm. It is also able to attract chakra, but not Kyoko’s chakra or chakra in another person’s body. She is able to leave an imprint of this seal on anything she touches with her left palm. The imprint will be attracted to the Sekiryoku no Fū.

Weakness: N/A

Name of Technique: Sekiryoku no Fū [Seal of Repulsion]
Type of Jutsu: Fūinjutsu
Rank: A
Range: Touch
Nature Type: N/A
Handseals: N/A

Description: Kyoko has tattooed this seal onto her right palm. When she focuses her chakra into it, it glows with a faint red colour and the next object Kyoko touches with her right hand will be repelled by the seal on her right hand. It is also able to repel chakra, but not Kyoko’s chakra or the chakra in another person’s body. She is able to leave an imprint of this seal on anything she touches with her right palm. The imprint will be attracted to the Jiryoku no Fū.

Weakness: N/A

Name of Technique: Idōsō no Fū [Never Move Seal]
Type of Jutsu: Fūinjutsu
Rank: B
Range: Personal
Nature Type: N/A
Handseals: N/A

Description: A complex seal that must be drawn onto a solid surface before it can be used [Takes sixty seconds to write]. Upon touching a person, the seal activates after a delay of one second and the opponent’s muscles in their somatic nervous system forcibly contract, leaving them completely unable to move. Additional applications of the seal do not work.

Weakness: Long preparation, requires them physically touch the seal, has a delay, lasts for sixty seconds. Additional applications of the seal do not work for 24 hours.

Name of Technique: Chigoku Inkan: Kami no Sakura [Verbatim Sealing: Divine Blossom]
Type of Jutsu: Fūinjutsu
Rank: C
Range: N/A
Nature Type: N/A
Handseals: N/A

Description: A simple seal that stores another completed jutsu inside it. When activated at the user’s will, the technique is immediately released from the seal. There is a delay of approximately two seconds before the technique is released, during which the seal glows brightly.

Weakness: N/A

Name of Technique: Kyōsei Keiyaku Kuchiyose no Jutsu [Forced Contract Summoning Technique]
Type of Jutsu: Fūinjutsu
Rank: C
Range: Potentially Infinite
Nature Type: N/A
Handseals: Standard handsigns for Kuchiyose no Jutsu

Description: The Kyōsei Keiyaku Kuchiyose no Jutsu is a Fūinjutsu-based derivative of the original contracts designed to facilitate the summoning process. The seal is inherently incomplete until the addition of blood and a primer seal created by the Chigoku Inkan. The primer seal can be written and given to non-Jikangai members, but is consumed in the process. When the blood of an individual, or a primer seal created from trace chakra of an individual, meets the incomplete seal (and the user’s blood is added in the latter case) a temporary summoning contract is formed that lasts for a single summon. The user can summon the target to themselves, or themselves to the target.

The Kyōsei Keiyaku Kuchiyose no Jutsu has unique limitations determined by the primer seal, restricting the use of the technique if any damage would come to individuals affected by the technique as a result of their being displaced or if they would be displaced upon arrival, resulting in the technique being guaranteed to be safe.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Saiketsu Fū [Blood Drawing Seal]
Type of Jutsu: Fūinjutsu
Rank: D
Range: Personal
Nature Type: N/A
Handseals: N/A

Description: A simple seal that is connected to the user’s bloodstream. Activation of the seal allows for enough blood for a summoning to be performed without causing a break in the skin.

Fiery



【Birth Country】
Land of Iron
【Current Village[】
Kirigakure, Wanderer
【Organization】
Masazane Clan

【Shinobi Rank】
Jounin



【Personality】

It is said that all of the members of the Masazane clan are formed from the same mould, forged from the same steel, and it is only in their tempering that they truly differ. Some are strong, some sleek and lithe, and unlike their crafts, very rarely are they perfectly balanced. Kasumi is one such rare individual, possessed of both enormous power and discipline and honed towards the steely point of perfection.

To Kasumi, the only goal that matters is the pursuit of the perfect work, but she understands that such perfection exists only in brief, ephemeral moments. The masterwork of a single instance represents but a single moment of unparalleled skill, the best one can achieve in one's current state - but like fine steel, the Masazane constantly improve upon themselves and what qualifies as a masterwork changes as they themselves are tempered to yet finer points. There is a fire in her soul that stokes her metaphorical forge, pressing her onward to create greater and greater-still works and improve herself beyond what she could have ever thought possible - but this fire is not all-consuming. It is reasonable, like Kasumi herself, and though the great work is all that Kasumi values on a personal level, she understands very much that the world does not revolve around her pursuit of artistic and martial perfection.

Kasumi is extremely pragmatic, preferring to take her responsibilities head-on and deal with them in as efficient a manner as possible. She is far removed from the lofty philosophical debates of abstract thinkers, paying heed only to the reality of the situation and the events and steps required to deal with it in as efficient and logical a manner as humanly possible. Despite her pursuit of artistic perfection, Kasumi understands the nature of fault - just as she has created flawed work, she understands that blemishes allow for growth - and while they must ultimately be removed in order to make way for the betterment of the self and of the great work they hold value for as long as they can impart lessons and allow for improvement. This has led to Kasumi being an exceptionally patient and forgiving individual, who accepts nothing less than the pursuit of perfection but is willing to help anybody work towards it for as long as their pursuit is that of internal and external mastery.

Owing to the heavily male-dominated political culture of her clan, Kasumi is very far removed from the squabbles of succession and political grandstanding that many governmental entities seek to ensconce themselves within - Kasumi prefers the path of action, and cares little for political consequence in the wake of those actions. This has earned her much scorn within and outside of her clan, with some believing that she has some ulterior political agenda to fulfil by disrupting their own plans, and others recognising her for the artist in pursuit of perfection that she really is. Kasumi is often quite oblivious to the political undertones of the world, seeing little value in them and wishing only to distance herself from their machinations (but often inadvertently embroiling herself within them more as she attempts to avoid them).

Kasumi is not what one could typically consider a "nice" person - though she has the intentions of nurturing ambition and helping others achieve their inner greatness, other people are not much like Kasumi - allowing their own foibles and lack of discipline render them unworkable. This is a great sin to Kasumi's way of thinking, and often results in her callously discarding those that she has deemed beyond salvaging. The kindest and wisest of people can be discarded in this fashion if Kasumi believes that their progression has ceased, and the most unthinkably evil can be prime students if they consistently show discipline towards whatever goals they have set for themselves. Kasumi does not discriminate based upon intention, only based upon one's commitment to the great work and to the discipline they instil in themselves as a result of their passion for their great work, be that world peace or the total destruction of mankind.

Kessaku: Enjin-Rutsubo [Masterwork: Flameheart Crucible]

Kessaku: Uchihonō [Masterwork: The Blaze Within]

Kessaku: Enjin-Rutsubo [+]

Name of Weapon or Item: Kessaku: Enjin-Rutsubo [Masterwork: Flameheart Crucible]
Location: Masazane, Kasumi
Owner: Masazane, Kasumi
Rank: S

Description: Kasumi’s first masterwork, the Enjin-Rutsubo is a daibo whose ends are powerful crucibles capable of melting any physical object placed within them. The Enjin-Rutsubo was forged from fire made physical and imbued with the properties of metal, rendering it completely immune to conventional metal-destroying methods and causing it to burn non-Masazane clan members that attempt to wield it, who will find the solid metal as nothing but fire.

Objects can be placed within the crucibles, which will melt the object down into liquid form. There are very few objects that the crucibles cannot melt, and objects that it cannot melt are typically structurally damaged beyond repair. The crucibles are able to superheat earth in order to create lava, though the lava hardens extremely quickly due to the intense but brief heat.

Each crucible contains an immortal, undying flame that is bound to the crucible with seals crafted into the Enjin-Rutsubo – these flames cannot be unleashed from the crucibles by any means, but heat can be expelled from the crucibles if they come into contact with a solid surface. Each crucible also contains an immense amount of pressure, which can be converted to physical force upon contact with physical objects – the amount of force and heat generated by the crucible coming into contact with an object are sufficient enough to severely damage the structural integrity of large buildings with no assistance.

Most metal that comes into contact with the crucibles can be instantly and irrevocably melted and drawn into the depths of the crucible through special seals. Kasumi is able to call upon an enormous amount of molten metal at will and mould it to her will provided that it remains connected to the Enjin-Rutsubo.

Appearance:

Kessaku: Uchihonō [+]

Name of Weapon or Item: Kessaku: Uchihonō [Masterwork: The Blaze Within]
Location: Masazane, Kasumi
Owner: Masazane, Kasumi
Rank: S

Description: Uchihonō is the second of Kasumi’s masterworks, a spiritual blade forged from Kasumi’s inner fire and proof of her worthiness to inherit the Forge of Souls. Uchihonō is comprised of two aspects, its physical sheath and the spiritual blade. When separated, the sheath binds the spiritual blade to Kasumi, causing it to steadily accumulate in power as it draws from her spiritual energy. When the blade is placed within the sheath, the blade assumes a temporary form of both spiritual and physical fire, allowing it to strike and bypass both the physical and the spiritual provided that the blade has gathered enough energy while extant of the sheath.

The sheath of Uchihonō allows Kasumi to gather and contain Katon techniques that she has used that have either missed or whose effects linger on the field, and also allow her to gather Katon techniques used by her enemies, rendering their effects null. Any Katon techniques absorbed by the sheath provide the blade with heat.

The blade of Uchihonō steadily gathers heat, the equivalent of a Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu every ten seconds, and after sixty seconds of passively gathering heat will be able to combine with the sheath to produce a blade capable of performing three strikes before the blade loses all heat.

When combined, Uchihonō proper is unleashed. The blade exists both physically and spiritually, allowing it to affect and bypass all things physical and spiritual that do not exert greater energy than Uchihonō. In this state, the physical and spiritual flames within Uchihonō are at their peak, affording them power equivalent to the strongest of the S-Ranked Katon techniques for the instance of contact with the blade. While the blade is combined, Kasumi’s Katon techniques use spiritual fire rather than normal fire.

Appearance: A standard katana with a metallic sheath and a spiritual blade.

【Custom Jutsu】

Name of Technique: Seitokuken [Birthright]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu/Kenjutsu
Rank: A
Range: 50 feet
Nature Type: Katon; Kouton
Handsigns: N/A

Description: Kasumi is naturally tethered to the spiritual blade of her masterwork Uchihonō. The spiritual blade remains stationary until such a point as Kasumi directly interacts with it through her tether, but this serves as a focus for several of her kenjutsu and Katon techniques. If the copy meets the sheath, the copy will dissipate until the blade is unsheathed and swung.

Whenever Kasumi uses a Katon jutsu, the spirit blade will use a spiritual copy of that jutsu at its location. Kasumi can control the direction of any launched jutsu in this fashion.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Tenchi [Heaven and Earth]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: A
Range: 50 feet
Nature Type: Katon; Kouton
Handsigns: N/A

Description: Kasumi pulls the spiritual blade of Uchihonō to herself in a straight line, travelling at 25 feet per second. If the blade passes through an enemy, their spirit is marked with Uchihonō’s lingering essence until Kasumi strikes them with the blade, allowing Kasumi’s attacks with the completed blade to completely negate all chakra or spirit-based defences.

When the blade reaches Kasumi, she draws it for a single strike, independently of the blade’s heat generation.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Seishin no Hinansho [Spirit’s Refuge]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Range: Five feet
Nature Type: Katon; Kouton
Handsigns: N/A

Description: Kasumi surges a wreath of spiritual fire through the spiritual blade of Uchihonō, creating an impassable barrier for two seconds in a five foot radius. Creating the barrier consumes half of the blade’s heat, and cannot be used again until the blade has naturally fused with the sheath.

If used while Uchihonō has naturally recombined, the negative effects of this jutsu are not applied.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Tanren [Temper]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: S
Range: Five foot radius of Kasumi and Uchihonō
Nature Type: Katon; Kouton
Handsigns: N/A

Description: Kasumi focuses the heat within Uchihonō, then unleashes it in an immense tempest of fire within five feet of herself and of each component of Uchihonō. If the tempest created by the blade and the sheath overlap, Kasumi immediately combines the blade and sheath as if the blade had reached its maximum heat.

Tanren can only be used once every five minutes.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Tsūretsuna Ichigeki [Crushing Blow]
Type of Jutsu: Daibojutsu
Rank: C
Range: 6 feet
Nature Type: Katon; Kouton
Handsigns: N/A

Description: Kasumi focuses the power of Enjin-Rutsubo into a single strike, bringing one of the crucibles down at her target with immense force. The kinetic energy released by the blow is equivalent to that of chakra-enhanced strength, and can even shatter metal.

If Kasumi strikes the ground, the heat within the crucible is released, turning the ground in a six foot radius around the blow into lava. The lava persists for a few seconds before hardening.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Fukutsu no Hi [Unyielding Flame]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu/Daibojutsu
Rank: A
Range: Twelve feet
Nature Type: Katon; Kouton
Handsigns: N/A

Description: Kasumi temporarily extends the shaft of Enjin-Rutsubo, doubling its range, and brings the crucible down to a point with an overhead smash. Anything hit by the crucible will take a blow equivalent to double the force of chakra-enhanced strength and, if flammable, will burst into flames. If Fukutsu no Hi hits the ground, Kasumi channels the flame of the crucible to cause the ground to erupt upwards in a six foot radius circle in an enormous torrent of flame.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Hyōketsu: Ataishinai [Verdict: Unworthy]
Type of Jutsu: Daibojutsu/Ninjutsu
Rank: S
Range: 60 feet
Nature Type: Katon; Kouton
Handsigns: N/A

Description: Kasumi channels an enormous amount of chakra into the immortal flames of Enjin-Rutsubo and strikes the ground. An immense shockwave (travelling at thirty feet per second) is released within a sixty foot line of the point of impact that, upon contact with an individual or object of sufficiently large mass, melts the ground into lava and immediately hardens it as it is shot upwards with the force of multiple uses of chakra-enhanced strength. Enemies hit by this technique are launched into the air at a 45 degree angle with enough force to send them flying for several miles. Additionally, targets hit by this technique burst into flames due to the sheer heat unleashed by the technique. Note: They are not wearing safety goggles at the time.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Shadan is often loud and boisterous (to the point he is almost shouting in normal conversation), pairing with his rather gregarious nature. Shadan views innocence as precious and fights to protect it. Shadan can be rather naive, often giving people the benefit of the doubt when he shouldn't. It is rare that Shadan isn't smiling, when they aren't in battle.

Suishō is very different from her husband, often coming across as cold. Highly opinionated, she often chastises her husband for his behavior, providing a good check to his nature, ensuring people do not take advantage of his view on life. Secretly, she envies Shadan's abilities to see the good in things, a trait she doesn't possess herself.

【History】
Shadan and Suishō have been married over 15 years. They have five children, two sets of twins back to back. Rin and his sister, Kisaki, are the oldest at 19, with their siblings (Tokumei, Kei, and Morainaki) coming within the next two years.

Shadan's days at the academy were rather tough. With an awkward body, being significantly larger than his peers) and a poor scholastic aptitude, he was at the bottom of his class rather consistently. Shadan was constantly shown up by shinobi years younger than him, including his wife Suishō. Had it not been for the interest of Ayameko, a well known medic-nin in Konoha, it is likely Shadan would not have graduated, despite his natural, but largely unrecognized skills.

Suishō was almost the opposite. From a long line of archers, Suishō was, in many ways, set up for success. She preformed well scholastically and excelled in her family's unique skills with a bow. Suishō was skilled enough at a young age to best students with more experience and training than her, her skills obvious and more eagerly taught.

Not surprisingly, Suishō and Shadan did not get along, at least from Suishō's perspective. Suishō bested Shadan during their Chuunin exams, handily beating him despite his years of training under Ayameko. Suishō saw Shadan like many others - naive, but also dishonest, as she did not believe that someone would congratulate her as he did after their match with any honesty, despite its actual sincerity.The two, ironically, were placed on the same squad after the exams, along with another woman. It would be in those early years, actually spending time with Shadan, that Suishō would begin to respect his skills, both saving each other's lives on a number of occasions.

They would marry to much celebration, but much skepticism on how long it would last. However, after the birth of their first set of twins no one could question the strength of the relationship. They would have another set of twins the year after, much to the surprise of others.

The war would be rough for both of them. While their squad did make it out in one piece, Shadan, who befriended anyone he could lost many people he called friends. Most difficult for them was raising children in a climate of war. The two took significant steps to protect their children during this time, ensuring they could take any assignments they could that kept them close to the village itself where they could protect their children themselves. Shadan was grateful that his children could still have a childhood in peacetime.

Now well into adulthood, their squad had gone its separate ways.

【Abilities and Special Traits】
Shadan is a skilled sensor and medic nin, which is surprising to many that meet him. Reflexively, he has the high strength and stamina one would expect of a man his size. Shadan is completely inept at preforming Genjutsu, with only marginal skill in utilization of his KG. As expected of a medical shinobi, he has fine chakra control, coupling with a large chakra pool. Quite possibly most surprising, Shadan is very quick on his feet.

Suishō is an archer of well noted skill, coupling the art with her skills in ninjutsu. Like her husband, she has solid chakra control, but an average pool to draw upon. She is much quicker than her husband, possessing an incredible amount of agility and raw speed. However, she lacks much of his stamina and raw strength, relying on her skills with a bow. Suishō's combat style is noted for being one of the most efficient of styles, allowing her to outlast many of her opponents.



【Weapons, Tools and Equipment】

Shadan wields a large shield over eight feet high and 6 feet wide, allowing the shield to cover his entire form. Inscribed with many seals The shield is designed as a conduit and store for his chakra, giving him great access to large sums of chakra should he need it. Aside from his medical kit, some flash tags and smoke bombs, Shadan does not utilize any other standard shinobi equipment, preferring a 'hands on' approach. At each of the corner's of Shadans shield is a larger symbol, with another directly in the center. This is similar to the technique Five Seal Barrier, which creates an extremely strong barrier out of the shield. Shadan's markings on the left side of his body store excess chakra, as well as make it easier for him to cover his left arm and chest side with Doton: Domu (Earth Release: Earth Spear).

Suishō wields a variety of standard shinobi weapons, but her primary weapon is an elegantly carved bow designed as a conduit for her chakra. She creates all of her arrows herself, inscribing them with a number of generic sealing techniques to provide additional effects to them in combat - something she applied to her quiver as well, giving her access to thousands of arrows providing she has the chakra to release the seals. Her arrows are designed to passively return to the quiver should they miss their mark and their abilities have not been invoked. The seals on her arrows allow her to create arrows with smoke or flash bombs at the end, as well as exploding tags or other shinobi tools, even after they have hit a mark. Another occasionally used tool is the tension line like her left wrist, which can be launched from the back of one of her arrows to embed itself into an object behind it. This can also be attached to a bracer on her right arm to allow her to ascend a building or mountain with her bow. Her bow will automatically allow her to pull arrows from her quiver without a physical motion, utilizing a small store of chakra within it.

At the base of her back she has a simple tanto strapped to it, but it is a weapon that remains largely unused. She has a couple of dart style arrows strapped under her left sleeve, which can have a tension line attached to them, allowing her to preform a variety of tactics (these can also attach to other tensionlines/arrows in flight). She does have a small number of kunai, tags, and bombs on her left hip which she occasionally uses individually.

Type of Jutsu: Kyūjutsu/Ninjutsu
Rank: C-B
Range: Bow Range
Nature Type: Hyōton
Handsigns: N/A
Description: One Suishō's signature techniques. By putting Hyōton chakra into her arrows, she can create even more dangerous of projectiles. When an enemy is struck by one of these arrows, the point of impact will cover with a relatively thick, chakra enhanced ice. The ice melts slowly, despite often not being in freezing environments, making it extremely painful over long periods of time, including being capable of inducing frostbite. If struck at, or near a joint, it can be difficult for the victim to move due to the casing of ice around the bodypart. Should all of the arrows miss, they can also create small patches of extremely slick ice that repels the intrusion of foreign chakra, making it immune to standard walking techniques.
Weakness: Extremely weak to Katon techniques/chakra.

Name of Technique: Renpatsu (Barrage)
Type of Jutsu: Kyūjutsu/Fuuinjutsu.
Rank: B
Range: Bow Range
Nature Type: N/A
Handsigns: N/A
Description: Invoking the generic weapon seals on her arrows, Suishō's unleashes more arrows mid release in various patterns. Not only does this give her a wider breadth of attack options, it can make her arrows more difficult to avoid.

The amount of arrows unleashed is variable, but the technique can be chained multiple times.
Weakness: N/A

Type of Jutsu: Kyūjutsu/Ninjutsu/Fuuinjutsu
Rank: C
Range: Bow Range
Nature Type: N/A
Handsigns: N/A
Description: By utilizing inscribed seals on her arrows, Suishō pulls small amounts of chakra from her victims. Should an arrow remain in a victim for extended periods of time, it would continually pull chakra from that individual. The rate of chakra draw from a ranged weapon is slow, the initial strike only refunding the cost of her Shimo Satsuei.
Weakness: Easy to avoid, only draws small amounts.

Rank: A
Range: Bow Range
Nature Type: N/A

Nature Type: Hyōton/Shōton
Handsigns: N/A
Description: By pushing both Hyōton and Shōton chakra into arrow(s), Suishō creates an arrow that upon impact with an enemy.or area, creates a creeping crystal and ice fusion. The area this arrow is capable of covering is quite impressive and unless quickly removed, will continue to create this fusion as it is often paired with other bow techniques allowing it to persist. In its base form, it can create a slick crystal/ice fusion in a 20 foot radius around the point of impact. Should there be no presence of a foreign chakra, it can cover this entire distance in the thick coating in less than 2 seconds - it will attempt to encase people caught within that radius by creeping upwards.. Should it embed itself in a target with chakra, it will move slower, but create an initial patch of one foot in radius.
Weakness: N/A

Rank: C
Range: Bow Range
Nature Type: N/A
Handsigns: N/A
Description: After pushing non-elemental chakra into one of her arrows, Suishō creates a wide range, non-damaging explosion of small, fine snow-like particles.

Weakness: N/A

Name of Technique: Kesshō Chiri (Crystal Dust)
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: B
Range: Long
Nature Type: Hyōton/Shōton
Handsigns: 3
Description: A two form technique. In it's most basic usage, the technique creates a massive shattering of any of Suishō's crystal or ice, creating a large amount of shrapnel depending on the amount of already in play ice or crystal. In the second form, creates a stream of Hyōton and Shōton chakra from a palm, which in extended periods, will encase a victim much like Sacred Crystal Arrow, but in much more bloody fashion, as particles of ice and crystal cut through flesh easily. The first form can be initiated with a simple snap of the fingers.
Weakness: High chakra costs in second form. Requires other techniques.

Name of Technique: Ya no Ame (Hail of Arrows)
Type of Jutsu:
Rank:

Type of Jutsu: Fuuinjutsu
Rank: B
Range: Long
Nature Type:
Handsigns:

Rank: A
Range: Long
Nature Type: N/A
Handsigns: N/A
Description: When this technique is used, Suishō's arrow is surrounded by a spherical aura with many visible seals. Upon contact with an opponent the seals are immediately transferred to the target impacted by the technique. These seals will duplicate this technique providing the user provides chakra and launch arrows of the same effect out at other targets. If used on a single target, the seals transferred will release chains from various locations on the target's body/form and embed these chains into the ground around them - effectively binding them. For multiple targets, Suishō use additional chains to bind objects together. Alternatively, instead of chains, Suishō can use wire threads instead to create dangerous traps.
Weakness: Requires contact with arrow.

Name of Technique: Shukumei no Ito [Thread of Fate]
Type of Jutsu: Fuuinjutsu
Rank: A
Range: Variable
Nature Type: N/A
Handseals: Dependent

Shadan

Name of Technique: Tōki no Kōshō (Winter's Bite)
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu/Collaboration
Rank: C
Range: Mid
Nature Type: Hyōton
Handsigns: N/A
Description: A mid range blast of Hyōton chakra from Shadan's shield, roughly a similar size. Opponents struck by this technique will find themselves 'slower' as the Hyōton chakra begins to create ice clinging to the ground beneath them (should they stand still, this effect accelerates to the point of snaring them), as well as their feet. Should they be struck again by this technique, or by Suishou's Shimo Satsuei (or other Ice Release), they will find themselves in much more peril - as the dual Hyōton chakra attacks synergize, creating stronger, thicker, and more debilitating ice. The effects of Tōki no Kōshō persist for upwards of 3 minutes, or until Katon chakra is released within the area.
Weakness: N/A

Name of Technique: Hyōga Chikō-tai (Glacial Rift-Valley)
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: A
Range: Mid
Nature Type: Hyōton/Doton
Handsigns: N/A
Description: After amassing chakra in an extremity, or his shield, Shadan punches, stomps, or slams his shield into the ground around him. In his immediately area, sharp protrusions of ice and earth erupt around him, with enough force to easily impale a human being. In it's most basic form, this erupts in a fast moving line along the ground towards an enemy, splitting the earth along its path, still creating sharp protrusions similar to what is around Shadan. This can be done with additional chakra to create multiple fissures in a single instance.
Weakness: N/A

Name of Technique: Kaidoku Fukanō (Unbreakable)
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: B
Range: Personal
Nature Type: Jiton/Doton
Handsigns: N/A
Description: Pushing Jiton chakra into his shield, Shadan draws nearby metal to the shield's face, preventing it from passing by him with a fair range. In most instances, the strength of this is limited to flying projectiles, as the human body is very easily able to overcome the draws of this ability. As a secondary effect, this ability creates an temporary outer coating of Doton chakra around Shadan, reducing the effect of any stray attacks his shield may not catch.
Weakness: N/A

Name of Technique: Ushirodai (Stand Behind)
Type of Jutsu: Fuuinjutsu/Ninjutsu
Rank: S
Range: Long
Nature Type: N/A
Handsigns: 1
Description: After storing chakra within an ally, similar to the Yin Seal/Strength of 100 Seals, Shadan is capable of invoking its power and transporting himself to the ally's location. A person can store upwards of three of these seals onto themselves with each taking a week to produce.
Weakness: Utilization of this technique as an escape mechanism is limited, given the need to be at least within sensory range of his ally. Additionally, the length of time to produce each of these seals makes it nearly impossible to utilize on a large scale.

Name of Technique: Tenchi (Heaven and Earth)
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Range: Personal
Nature Type: N/A
Handsigns: N/A
Description: The user becomes adept at sensing the presence of the internal chakra system within a range of thirty feet (radius) around themselves. The user also becomes adept at sensing the displacement of air, and sensing vibrations through the ground, making it very difficult to sneak up on them or otherwise catch them off guard.
Weakness: N/A

Collaboration

Name of Technique: Kidō no Fudō-myōō, Fūin Ten no Mon (Invocation of the Immovable One, Sealed Gates to the Heavens)
Type of Jutsu: Collaboration Ninjutsu
Rank: S
Range: Personal
Nature Type: Jiton/Hyōton/Shōton
Handsigns: 15
Description: Utilizing Shadan's shield as a focal point, both Shadan and his wife create a massive surge of various elemental chakras within it, expanding the effects of the shield to massive proportions - utilizing a multiple layer framework of ice and crystal. This technique expands on many of the principles of the Kaidoku Fukanō (Unbreakable) actually drawing chakra based projectiles towards it as well. The scope of powers of this technique is limited by the amount of chakra that can be pushed through it. With just Shadan and Suishou, it is limited to about 50 feet in length and 30 feet in height without leaving them to the point of complete exhaustion.
Weakness: Incredible chakra cost, directionless techniques, or techniques that lack a projectile are still effective.

Name of Technique: Raigō: Genkan (Welcoming Approach: Entrance)
Type of Jutsu: Collaboration/Ninjutsu/Fuuinjutsu
Rank: B
Range: Long
Nature Type: N/A
Handsigns: N/A
Description: Either Shadan or Suishou are able to invoke the seals inscribed onto her arrows to the corresponding seals on Shadan's shield. In essence, Suishou is able to shoot arrows as if she was position at Shadan's shield.
Weakness: Still requires visible sight.

【Personality】
Rin is completely focused on the betterment of his nation. Even at a young age, Rin was interested in the affairs of the world and his place within it. Rin comes across as a bit too serious for many people. Rin is not particularly fond of heights despite the ability to, in essence, fly. He can tolerate them to the point where it does not cause any issues with his combat effectiveness, but avoids flying as much as possible.

【History】
Rin is the eldest son of Shadan and Suishō. He is a part of the Windspeakers, who he has trained most of his life with. In fact, Rin and his sister Kisaki were both born in the Temple of Fuujin and, according to many of the stories told within the temple, blessed by Fuujin.

Like many wartime children, Rin grew up in a period where he was uncertain what is future would be. The Temple, located near Kyokujitsgakure was a safe haven for many of the children. As such, many children in Kyokujitsu no Tochi, at least those from the Land of Fire, spent their early years with the Windspeakers or the monks from the Temple of Fire. It was there he met Roku, who also stayed at the Temple during the war, the woman he would be engaged to many years later.

Unlike his parent's romance, Roku and Rin were far from the opposites. In fact, the similarities in personality between the two unnerved many who encountered them. Rin, as focused as Roku, even as a child, behaved more as an adult than his father at even the age as young as four. Concerned with the affairs of the world and his impact, Rin pursued his training at the Temple of Fuujin with zeal. Kisaki, his sister, also trained at the Temple with him but in an entirely different from of invoking the powers of Fuujin.



【Chakra Nature(s)】

Fuuton

【Abilities and Special Traits】
Rin is a skilled swordsman. Keen and analytical, he is quite good at reading an opponent's movements. Additionally, he has strong control over his chakra. Despite being a swordsman, he is a capable hand to hand fighter as well.



【Weapons, Tools and Equipment】

Name of Weapon or Item: Kazemakase [Carried by the Wind]
Description: A sword of peculiar power. The katana maintains its appearance as a normal sword, but when swung, the blade converts entirely to wind. This wind is just as sharp as the blade, but makes blocking the sword exceptionally difficult. A native, additional ability of the Kazemakase is it's ability to create blades of wind, including the ability to control the wind created by the blade to create vacuum like effects. The range and shape of these effects are dependent on the amount of chakra put into them.

The draw techniques from this sword are exceptionally fast as Fuuton chakra can help draw the sword from it's sheath, giving Rin an incredibly fast draw with the weapon.

The third ability of the Kazemakase is the ability to read the air currents within 100 feet of themselves with incredibly accuracy. This is a unique type of wind sense in that it can differentiate between objects that have chakra and those that do not.

The last ability of this weapon is with the sheath. The sword and sheath are bonded with the individual, making them unable to be effectively used by anyone else unless the specific circumstances are met. This last ability is reminiscent of the Hyuuga's Vacuum Palm - however, this does not need to be blunt force like the Hyuuga technique. In the case of Rin and the Kazemakase, this effect is not solely limited to palm thrusts. The distance, damage, and power of this effect is based on the amount of chakra that is put into it.
Appearance: When still, Kazemakase is a beautiful sword. The blade is a silver-blue steel with symbols of Fuujin inscribed onto them. The tsuba of the katana is shaped similarly to the symbol for Fuujin. The hilt is an ordinary hilt, but is covered with a pale blue cloth. The sheath for the weapon is made of a bamboo that has been dyed a brilliant white-blue with silver symbols embellishing it.

Name of Technique: Megumi no Fuujin [Grace of the Wind God]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: A
Range: Personal
Nature Type: Fuuton
Handseals: 1 [Symbols of Fuujin]
Description: By channelling a constant sphere of wind chakra around himself, Windspeaker Rin is able to levitate as if held aloft by currents of wind. He gains a sphere of influence around himself with which he can manipulate wind in myriad ways. The sphere extends six feet from Windspeaker Rin in any given direction. While within the Megumi no Fuujin, Windspeaker Rin is immune to all friendly Fuuton techniques. Windspeaker Rin’s control over the wind is so proficient that he is able to essentially fly. In addition, instead of performing handsigns, Windspeaker Rin is able to invoke symbols of Fuujin with simple movements that are not necessarily restricted to movement of the hands/arms.
Weakness: N/A

Name of Technique: Megumi no Fuujin: Reitekina Yoroi [Grace of the Wind God: Spiritual Armour]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: A
Range: Variable
Nature Type: Fuuton
Handseals: 5 [Symbols of Fuujin]
Description: Windspeaker Rin condenses the Megumi no Fuujin, removing all access to its abilities except its levitation and flight, and coats himself in a thick veneer of wind. All physical projectiles that would come into contact with the armour are deflected, and Windspeaker Rin’s speed is vastly increased. In addition, Windspeaker Rin’s taijutsu attacks become significantly more deadly, using the force of the wind surrounding her to lacerate the areas she hits subcutaneously. If she would hit an open wound, he is instead able to cause major damage to internal organs in the surrounding area.
Weakness: Eliminates access to any other Grace of the Wind God techniques.

Name of Technique: Shukuchi [Reduced Earth]
Type of Jutsu:
Rank: A
Range: Variable
Nature Type: N/A
Handseals: N/A
Description: This technique allows Rin to close distances in combat quite quickly. This technique is initiated by holding a pose for a moment - typically a draw pose for Rin. The longer the combat pose is held, the greater the distance Rin can transport himself.

Weakness: Must be within visual range of Rin to be utilized. Can only transport the user forward.

Name of Technique: Seishin no Fuujin [Spirit of the Wind God]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: A
Range: Personal
Nature Type: Fuuton
Handseals: 1 [Symbols of Fuujin]
Description: A combination defensive and offensive technique, allowing Rin to convert his entire body to an entity of wind, allowing him to pass throw many physical obstructions. This can be done in a manner that can hurt those that he passes through (he is visible as a blur during this).
Weakness: Seishin no Fuujin can only be held for short moments of times, with a maximum of a few seconds. After use, this ability cannot be used for at least 30 seconds. Rin can use a partial version of it as well, which reduces the restrictions on it dependent on what percentage of his body he transformed

【Affiliation】
Kyokujitsu no Tochi
【Shinobi Rank】
Tokebetsu Jounin



【Personality】
Tokumei is laid back, despite his analytical abilities. This is mostly done to counter the sometimes overwhelming amount of information that is barraging him at a time.

【History】
Despite being the youngest child of five, Tokumei is exceptional within his own right.

His first seven years of life were during the war. In fact, Tokumei is the only one of his siblings that 'served' during the war. His abilities were picked up on very early by Touzoku, who, at the time, was part of Kyokujitsugakure's Intelligence Division. Given the nature of his abilities, he served as a sensor in the the medical camps - the only reason Shadan and Suishou would have allowed them to do so. Under the protection of his father, Tokumei was charged with detecting nearby presences and relay communication throughout the camp. At this stage of his life, only 6 years old, and just before the end of the war, Tokumei started to develop his abilities and refine them. During those early years the range of his power was incredibly limited.

As he grew up, he formally joined the Senkensha, Kyokujitsu no Tochi's sensory division before he even graduated the academy. It was a special exception made solely to him given the unique nature of his abilities. Tokumei's kekkei genkai is a closely kept secret with his family and the high ranks of Kyokujitsugakure knowing of its existence. Because of his ability's importance, Tokumei rarely leaves the village. He has a specialized office within the Sankage's compound specifically for him. His superior, Shiō, also works directly within the Sankage's compound.

Because of his abilities, Tokumei was granted the position of second-in-command of the Senkensha. Shiō actually often concedes to his abilities and judgement, given that he is technically the superior sensor. However, Shiō, partially of virtue of being Nara, and partially a virtue of her being Shiō, is the superior tactician.

Tokumei's alternative role is directly with Sankage Ayameko to provide theoretical modelling for their research.



【Chakra Nature(s)】

Raiton

【Abilities and Special Traits】
Tokumei is, by partial virtue of his Kekkei Genkai, one of the most powerful sensor shinobi in the world. Additionally, he is innately gifted with an analytical mind and naturally eidetic memory. Tokumei is incapable of preforming most ninjutsu, despite having the skills and knowledge to preform them due to how his chakra behaves. Due to his kekkei genkai, Tokumei is exceptionally skilled with fuuinjutsu. He is also exceptionally gifted at shape manipulation despite his inability to use most techniques.

Tokumei also has exceptionally high chakra reserves and control, despite his inability to use these for most things.

Tokumei, despite many attempts to train him over the years, is completely inept at almost all forms of jutsu, except for fuuinjutsu, which are even still occasionally hit and miss. He is barely an academy graduate in taijutsu, and mostly only able to do anything due to his kekkei genkai's ability to analyze.

【Kekkei Genkai】

Name of Kekkei Genkai: Jōhō Seido [Information System]
Clan: N/A
Description: Jōhō Seido is a multi-faceted kekkei genkai. The first, and most utilized characteristic of Tokumei's kekkei genkai is his ability to process large amounts of information. This includes secondhand information by utilizing jutsu specific to his kekkei genkai.

The second ability is his ability to visualize information as it is happening to things within his visual range, as Jōhō Seido does provide the bearer with a doujutsu. However, this ability is not limited to the doujutsu, but can be preformed within a predetermined sphere of influence. The visualization of this data can include recognition of patterns, chakra pool, display of trajectories, or other data. With usage of other techniques, this sort of visual overlay can be transferred to other individuals. Tokumei's visual prowess is significant enough he can see the flow of chakra in minute detail.

The third ability of his kekkei genkai relates to the second ability and his ability to create 'networks'. For most instances, these networks are created by contact with his chakra. With techniques, this allows Tokumei a number of abilities, which includes the transference of information.

The fourth ability of his kekkei genkai is the ability to store the information gathered with this kekkei genkai.

Rank: A
Range: Variable
Nature Type: Raiton
Handseals: Variable
Description: Tokumei's Setsuzoku-bu can be executed in multiple methods. The first, and most common, is physical touch by him, or someone already under the effect of Setsuzoku-bu, which, at this point, allows him to duplicate and transfer the effect of Setsuzoku-bu. The second option is through a seal, inscribed on a tag, the ground, or other object and then having an individual make contact with him. The third method is similar to the Puppet String technique in which he can project a thin line of energy out at an individual or object, including from people already under the effect of his connection. The range of the technique is limited depending on the method of connection. While it is possible to maintain a long distance connection, even spanning halfway through Kyokujitsu no Tochi, in base form by committing significant time, energy, and focus on maintaining the connection, the alternative method of long range connection is utilizing the fuuinjutsu form of the seal which shapes portions of the body's electrical field to maintain the connection, extending the connection that can be maintained to incredible proportions. The limiter on this is that Tokumei's connections with those at greater distance are much weaker unless they are within 30 miles of a Chūkei [Relay] seal. This technique does nothing other than facilitate his other techniques.
Weakness: Limited range depending on method of contact. If using long distances with a basic connection, then he must focus on that individual if they are significant distances away. This technique does nothing other than facilitate his other techniques.

Name of Technique: Jōhō Tensō [Information Transfer]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: A
Range: Variable
Nature Type: Raiton
Handseals: 1
Description: Jōhō Tensō is a multi-faceted technique that can only be executed on those under the effects of Connection. The first function of Jōhō Tensō is to allow the user to download information from a willing individual, allowing Tokumei to gain a copy of the memories as well. The second function is the opposite in which he can transfer information to another individual, including the visualization (arcs, trajectories, etc) of data that Tokuemei is capable of or even items such as techniques they are theoretically capable of. In the instance of technique Tokumei can only transfer that information temporarily with fabricated muscle memory before the body reverts. Visualization creates an experience unique to the individual under Jōhō Tensō and thus is as good as their memory is natively. The third function is as a communication system using between those marked where Tokumei behaves as a relay. By virtue of the third function, Tokumei is able to take sensory information from one individual an overlay it with his own.
Weakness: Requires the Connection technique.

Name of Technique: Angō-ka Shimasu [Encrypt]
Type of Jutsu: Fuuinjutsu
Rank: A
Range: Variable
Nature Type: Raiton
Handseals: 3
Description: Tokumei's technique is a method of dealing with counterseals on his, or allies, fuuinjutsu. By forming a connection with a seal (his are already under these effects), Tokumei 'encrypts' his seals, changing the seal's function and appearance into gibberish while maintaining the effects of the seal using an algorithm that only Tokumei knows. Tokumei uses an mutating algorithm that alters the original algorithm at specified times. As a personal effect, Tokumei has an encryption algorithm over the encryption algorithm within his own mind, leaving only certain mental functionality. As an inadvertent effect, his is unable to be put under the effects of most Genjutsu.
Weakness: Requires a connection or is limited to personal range.

Name of Technique: Hyōji Gamen [View Screen]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu, Kekkei Genkai
Rank: C
Range: Very short
Nature Type: Raiton
Handseals: 1
Description: Creates construct of chakra in front of Tokumei that allows others to see the information he is processing at the time or him to show specific elements to individuals. Mostly utilized as a technique for planning battles.
Weakness: N/A

Name of Technique: Jikkō Kanōna [Executable]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu, Kekkei Genkai
Rank: S
Range: Variable
Nature Type: Raiton
Handseals: Variable
Description: Tokumei's ultimate use of his kekkei genkai and his only outright ability to perform combat. By performing the handsigns for a jutsu he knows, he can utilize the technique utilizing the chakra of an allied individual. However, the technique must also be one that they are capable of utilizing - more specifically, it requires the ability to use the chakra nature or possess the genetic traits of using such a technique in order to be preformed.
Weakness: Requires connections. Additionally, the techniques Tokumei uses through this technique still have indications of usage providing they have handsigns. This is indicated by symbols appearing around the individual.

Name of Technique: Denkai [Electrical Field]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu, kekkei genkai
Rank: A
Range: Long
Nature Type: Raiton
Handseals: 3
Description: This technique can be executed in two methods. The first is constructing a seal on the ground. The alternative is for him to create a point within his visual range and then expand the field. This provides more detailed information on the position of an individual.
Weakness: Certain techniques can create points where he cannot sense with the confines of an area. Mostly these would be very specific barrier techniques or certain high level Raiton techniques.

Name of Technique: Sakidō [Reboot]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu, kekkei genkai
Rank: A
Range: Variable
Nature Type: Raiton
Handseals: 1
Description: Sends a small electrical signal to body or brain of the individual Tokumei is connected with. This is non-damaging, but is used to counter Genjutsu they may be under.
Weakness: Requires a preexisting connection.

Name of Technique: Kasai Kabe [Fire Wall]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu, kekkei genkai
Rank: S
Range: Variable
Nature Type: Raiton
Handseals: Continuous
Description: A disruption technique derived from his brother and Yggdrasil. By placing an individual within the confines of a seal he has created, he can prevent the formation of techniques by them providing he continues to preform handsigns similar to Yggdrasil by creating imbalances of energy within the individual. While not in every instance, this is most frequently done by utilizing natural energy. The second effect of Kasai Kabe is the ability for the user to create an electrical field of this effect, which means most techniques, including techniques that manipulate timespace will falter when in contact with the technique.
Weakness: Only one individual can be under the effect of this technique aside from Tokumei himself.

Name of Technique: Chūsha [Injection]
Type of Jutsu: Fuuinjutsu/Ninjutsu
Rank: A
Range: Variable
Nature Type: Raiton
Handseals: 1
Description: A counter sealing technique. By making a connection with a seal through his other techniques, Tokumei can do a variety of things. In most instances, this will essentially alter most seals and make them useless. Of course, the alternative, and in the event that the seal falls under a class that cannot be altered, Tokumei can inject a sequence into the seal allowing him to determine what the seals effects are and the moment it is activated.
Weakness: Requires a connection.

Name of Technique: Jidō Jikkō [Auto Run]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu - Fuuinjutsu, Kekkei genkai
Rank: A
Range: Variable
Nature Type: Raiton
Handseals: Variable
Description: Similar to the Jikkō Kanōna, but more restrictive. This technique allows Tokumei to automate certain technique processes without the need for conscious usage, allowing him to quickly and easily deploy multiple techniques or continue to keep his techniques active in the event he is incapacitated. For his personal techniques, this is much easier and he can have many of his techniques continue to run or activate with mere though. For techniques that he has merely stored into his database through his kekkei genkai, typically techniques taken from others, he can only use it on a maximum of 5 techniques. When paired with Jikkō Kanōna, Tokumei pays the cost of the technique as well as the person he is using as a conduit. This can integrate with Hyōji Gamen to allow others to use activate techniques instead of him. In fuuinjutsu format, this technique can be used to program single techniques into items as well.
Weakness: Requires connection for usage outside self.

Name of Technique: Shinzui Kae [Core Backup]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu - Fuuinjutsu, Kekkei genkai
Rank: S+
Range: Personal/Contact
Nature Type: N/A
Handseals: 350 (for full effect)
Description: Shinzui Kae is the pinnacle of Tokumei's ability. Using an advanced scanning application of his kekkei genkai that was developed with collaboration from Shio and Ayameko, Tokumei is able to create a full body scan of a person. The benefits this are two fold.

At the first level, this allows Tokumei to detect many anomalies within the body with a quick series of pulses of Raiton chakra through the body. This is then run against repeated baselines from regular medical appointments for members of the village.

The second level is a in depth scan that allow complete storage of every aspect of the physical arrangement of the body which is then stored within Tokumei's conscious.
Weakness: Requires advanced preparation.

【Personality】
Chiyoko is a peculiar individual only accented by the fact she travels the world with/on a sheep. Chiyoko consistently can be found with a far off look to her face, despite her complete awareness of what is around her. She is, to the frustration of many, the type of person to answer a question with another question, or answer in a manner that isn't clear.

Hitsujiki is a sheep and is a steadfast companion to Chiyoko. Loyal, sturdy, and occasionally a bit petulant, he provides much of Chiyoko's grounding to reality.

Yuganori Tokiko is a cheerful child that is still learning about the world.

【History】
Chiyoko's history is as much her people's as it is hers. Chiyoko grew up the island of the Moon Country with a small, yet stable clan of spiritualists. Noted for their strong connection to the afterlife, her people continue to be extremely religious. Her clan possesses an extremely powerful Kekkei Genkai that allows them to serve as a gateway between the Pure Land and the real world. Because of this, spirits that refuse to move to Purgatory or the Pure Land often gravitate around her, as they are capable of seeing and communicating with these spirits (hitodama). As such, children of Chiyoko's clan often end up with guidance from relatives thousands of years deceased. In addition, Chiyoko was constantly with a sheep she named Hitsujiki, a lamb she had saved by instinctively tying a powerful spirit into its body.

Chiyoko was born as Kitti Ping-Sung. As a child she had an affinity for the manipulation of the water element and spent much of her time in the rivers around her village. It was noted by many that Chiyoko's gateway to the Pure Land was one of the strongest in the clan in recent memory, rivaled only by her cousin, who seemed to have an equally strong connection. As such, Chiyoko drew the attention of the Council of Nine as a potential for the next Sēji. The Council of Nine was the original nine members of Chiyoko's clan. At the time of their passing, they bound their spirits into nine blades and enshrined themselves in a temple. Communicating with the Council of Nine was difficult for most people in Chiyoko's clan, as the ability to call forth all nine at once was considered exceptionally difficult, and, given the nature of what was being done, extremely confusing.

Chiyoko's skills were fostered at an early age, receiving direct training from various individuals of the Council of Nine, along with another child in the village. They learned much about their clan's extremely ancient history and the extent of what they were capable. Both children demonstrated exactly what the Council of Nine had expected.

At the age of 17, both Chiyoko and her counterpart were to undergo the Trials, a first step in choosing the next Sēji. It also served as a right of passage into adulthood, despite the significant dangers of the ritual. As with all of the Trials before, Chiyoko and her counterpart were separated from their bodies forcibly, their spirits going into the Pure Land. Chiyoko was able to complete the trial and returned back to the council with full control over herself, while her counterpart had ventured into one of the realms of Naraka and was corrupted. However, at the time, this was not able to be sensed by either Chiyoko or the council.

Chiyoko's counterpart preformed the clan's forbidden technique - the Kodoku. Chiyoko, as a final step to becoming the leader of her clan, was charged with destroying the created malicious spirit and banish her once friend into a created realm in Naraka. To make this possible, the Council allowed Chiyoko to take the blades that housed them from the shrine and use them as weapons. The battle, with the power of Chiyoko and the council, was short and judgment was swift.

The Council relayed the information they had on the bijuu and that they had suspected they were a corrupted form of the deities they believed in. Chiyoko posed to the council that they seek out these creatures and purify them once again. Chiyoko was granted her clans puppets as well for her journey, believed to be crafted in the image of their gods. With that, she departed the Land of the Moon to seek out the bijuu as well as find the fragments of the legendary weapons from the times when their gods walked in the mortal world.

The first place she visited once on the mainland was Kyokujitsugakure. Yggdrasil was legendary in her clan as well, and Chiyoko had visited the tree spiritually many times. It was there she gained a new travelling companion in the form of Takiko. Hitsujiki immediately had taken a liking to the young 4 year old boy and the parents willingly parted with their son to provide him a life experience with the two travelers.

【Abilities and Special Traits】
Chiyoko is an exceptional spiritualist and considered to be the strongest in her clan since the Council of Nine (their powers existed prior to the sage as the base form did not utilize chakra), in fact, many consider Chiyoko by herself to have a stronger spiritual connection than the original founders.

Chiyoko is also a skilled puppeteer, an art that has been passed down through her people since the Council of Nine. However, Chiyoko's clan initially practiced a unique form of puppetry utilizing spirits instead of chakra strings. With the knowledge gained from the Sage, her clan was able to adapt alternatives to tapping into the power of spirits.

Chiyoko is also a skilled close range fighter, capable of holding her own with a variety of weapons and is especially skilled with her blades and staff. Most puppetry techniques require her sacrifice some of this skill in order to utilize them.

Hitsujiki is a sheep from Chiyoko's homeland. The sheep's spirit is intertwined with another, making Hitsujiki as intelligent as a person (even though he is incapable of communicating any more than a normal sheep). It also grants the sheep the ability to use jutsu and exceptional longevity.

Tokiko is a small child and has not developed any powers.



【Weapons, Tools and Equipment】

Name of Weapon or Item: Fudō-myōō [Immovable One]
Description: The Fudō-myōō is a weapon passed through Chiyoko's clan since its creation. A product of the original Masazane and Council of Nine, the sword is imbued with incredible power. Its one, and only trait, is that the sword that cannot be moved by any force other than its wielder. The sword was designed to be mass produced as a defensive weapon for their wandering monks, but the effect could never be reproduced, which led the clan to herald the weapon as being imbued by the power of a deity.
Appearance: Normal wakizashi with ornate inscriptions on the blade. Chiyoko straps it to the base of her back or left hip.

Name of Weapon or Item: Kuji Kiri [Nine Cuts]
Description: A set of nine tantō. Each blade is inscribed with the name of the spirit from the council that is held within it. Each of these spirits are forged directly, and willingly, into the weapon. These spirits are used in a number of Chiyoko's other techniques. These knives, when placed into the flesh of a person, making forming jutsu difficult due to the second spiritual presence affecting the body.
Appearance: Normal tantō with exceptionally fine inscriptions. Chiyoko straps these all about her body.

Name of Weapon or Item: Eien no Sai [Judge of Eternity]
Description: The most ancient weapon to Chiyoko's clan. Forged through a collaboration with the Yuganori clan, the Eien no Sai is a twelve ringed shakujō. Each of these rings may be freed from the center ring and used as a projectile weapon. These are easily controlled in flight by the wielder of the Eien no Sai. Small golden threads are faintly visible when the rings detach between the ring and the staff itself. These threads have no physical form until chakra is pushed through them. However, these threads also have no beginning and end and can continue forever. The rings themselves are designed to increase or decrease in size in order to clasp onto the wrists, ankles, or neck of an individual. This provides the wielder of the Eien no Sai a variety of techniques utilizing the staff. The length of the threads can be locked in place by exerting chakra, or even shortened.

As an additional ability, hitodama are naturally drawn to the Eien no Sai and can be stored within its confines.
Appearance: Shakujō.

Puppets

Name of Puppet: Ōryū
Description: Ōryū is the second largest puppet on Chiyoko's arsenal and has no base form. It is, like Seiryu, a Chinese style dragon, but is about 100 feet in length and with a body diameter of over 10 feet. He also has the second thickest structure, paling only to Genbu's Transcendent Form. Ōryū is primarily used for defensive purposes, but boasts a potent arsenal. Because of the significant infusion of wood from Yggdrasil, Ōryū is especially tuned for creating potent barriers between its various links and as a protection naturally too its body. Additionally, Ōryū was designed to gather hitodama at a rapid rate and utilize them in its various abilities, making it a truly unique puppet.

The hitodama are launched as weapons through Ōryūs mouth. Being hit by hitodama makes it much harder to use jutsu, much like Chiyoko's Kuji-kiri. Additionally, Ōryū can be used to exorcise spirits from a body, including the soul from a living person, by clenching its jaws around them, removing the soul from them. The main use of these Hitodama is the usage of them in conjunction with all of the seals on its body. These seals absorb light, which is then sent through to a corresponding seal internally, to the series of mirrors that continue to bounce the light around. When it comes time to release this, the seals within its body open up, releasing the focused light energy. Often this is done through the mouth of the puppet, passing through a lense with a series of purification symbols on it, where the light is laced with purified Hitodama (similar to the Purifying Flame). If an opponent is struck with this blast, their soul will be purified, as well as likely their physical form being burned as well - completing the ritual. Because the Hitodama are laced in the light energy, the blast is significantly slower than a natural light laser. If the light is not released from the mouth, which is an alternative by opening the seals on its body, it can create a series of burning beams of light all around its body. The longer this puppet is in the sun, the more dangerous it becomes.

Ōryū's final ability is the ability to devour a technique within its jaws, then releaes it later.

Name of Puppet: Suzaku
Description: Suzaku is one of Chiyoko's favorite puppets. Like all of Chiyoko's puppets, they are humanoid and are clothed similarly to cloaked ANBU. Suzaku wears a phoenix mask and is cloaked in a vibrant red color. Weapon wise, Suzaku is most noted for its back and lower arms. Four plates will rise up from the lower arms and open in a diamond like pattern to reveal the metal frame beneath them. These plates then spin rapidly, spraying a flammable liquid and igniting it as it passes over the lower arm. This creates a fairly potent flamethrower. The 'fingers' of Suzaku are technically red kunai that have the same flammable coating on them and can be fired out at an opponent and the struck on fire. Throughout Suzaku's body there are other holes for the release of flames, allowing Suzaku to torch multiple directions at once, also creating a powerful defense. There are also holes on the upper shoulders of the puppet used to launch combustible kunai with explosive tags.The 'final' ability of Suzaku is to unleash the wings in its back which unfurl. The 'feathers' are, once again, kunai on wires. They can be launched out from the back and encircle an enemy, or enemies in a cage of wire and kunai. Once Chiyoko does a handsign she an use the very small seals on the wire to summon explosive tags that stick to the wire, otherwise the wires will often just be ignited with fire. Suzaku also carries a nodachi that creates sparks when struck and flames when drug across a surface with combustible material.

Transcendent Form: In Suzaku's Transcendent form, the puppet takes on the appearance of a large phoenix. With a wingspan of 60 feet, it is an impressive puppet. Like before the feathers on the wings are made of red kunai with a seal on them that release a flammable mist. When attack, Suzaku will often release these feathers above an area with enemies and fill the area with intense mist. It is also possible for these kunai to be in lines connecting to the puppet, which provide additional control and attacks options. Like before, the wires can summon explosive tags, but in addition on the Suzaku puppet in this form, the wires can release duplicates of the kunai they are launching attacking at the point of wire with another line of wire. The tail feathers of Suzaku can also do these things.

There is, of course, a basic flamethrower ability from the mouth of the puppet. The front of the wings on Suzaku is also sharpened, allowing the wing to easily cleave through things. Seals that are imbued into the puppet allow it to release flammable mist from its body as well as sent flames out across its entire body at once (essentially lighting itself and the area around it on fire).

Name of Puppet: Byakko
Description: Byakko is another one of Chiyoko's puppets. Like the Tiroi puppet, this puppet has two 'forms', a Tiger form and a humanoid form. In humanoid form it possesses many of the same abilities as the Tiger form, at least to some degree. However, more commonly the puppet will make use of the claws that are on top of its feet and hands. These are attached via a chain along the arm that is extremely strong. In this form, it can 'stack' its lower and upper arms on top of each other and expose the senbon Gatlings. This is the same as the one in the mouth.

In tiger form the puppet becomes a terrifying seige weapon. From its back three powerful weapons will be released. These are placed on the puppets back and can rotate via attachments to the puppets innards. The middle construct has minimal side to side movement independently, but can change its angle easily. The two side constructs handle the sides of the 'tiger' and also move very easily to change the arc. There is also a third mechanism inside of the puppet that allows them all three to turn at once. The main abilities of these are to fire vast amounts of senbon at enemies while also mixing in some metal orbs and some 'shells' that are filled with explosive tags. In tiger form there is also access granted to the hind leg weapons, which can turn about 210 degrees in total each. These fire three (each – can be reloaded via fuuinjutsu but has a slower rate of fire) of the more destructive shells much like a modern day rocket – using an explosive force as a propellant. Also in this form, the arm weapons will open up from the frame and point forward, sliding to attach on the sides of the arm frame, allowing more movement freedom in the assault. It should also be noted the mouth of this puppet is also capable of firing metal orbs as well. The metal orbs have a strange functionality in that they explode much like a grenade, but have an exceptionally durable, yet thing wire that connects a series of controlled shrapnel. These create a center point of line when they explode and send bits of metal like barbed arrows out with line on them. This can create an annoying obstruction for some people and be quite dangerous.

Transcendent Form: Byakko is a 20 foot tall tiger with appropriately proportioned body. Similar to his original tiger form, much of the functionality is maintained (but on a slightly larger scale). However, in this form, this puppet gains Tiroi's functionality with a larger cannon.

The advantage Byakko has in this form is that each of the projectiles are infused with Reihan seals as they are launched allowing them to preform a version of Glimpse of Heaven over a short range with only a singular sign from the wielder.

Name of Puppet: Seiryu
Description: Seiryu is another common puppet that is used by Chiyoko. Taller than both Byakko and Suzaku by a small margin, Seiryu wears a dragon mask and is cloaked in a deep, dark blue with white streaks that look much like lightning. The puppet wields two crossbows that are designed to augment it sability to utilize electrical attacks through what is essentially a chakra powered tesla coil in the internal structure of the puppet. The bolts release small amount of silver powder as they fly which is used to direct the electrical energy from the coil. Because the electricity needs some guidance, the generated bolts are much slower than natural electricity.

The puppet has a number of spikes under it cloak, predominantly at the joins of its body allowing it to fight at close range quite effectively. The last ability of the Seiryu puppet its the ability for it create a massive burst of liquid nitrogen from its mouth.

Transcendent Form: Seiryu's Transcendent form is a drastic departure from its previous. In this form, Seiryu becomes a fairly large chinese style dragon with his body, from tip to tail, measuring over 70 feet. The back ridge has about a foot long spike that protrudes every couple of feet. These spikes can be launched as a form of rudimentary ballistics, should they be needed, but that is rarely used as the potency of Seiryu's armaments comes from his much larger series of Tesla Coils within his body. Using a number of internal fuuinjutsu to behave as weapon scrolls, the energy generated by the coil is stored within Seiryu's body and released when Chiyoko activates the outer seals. In addition, seals on the outside of the body of Seiryu can be used to launch kunai. These kunai can release Liquid Nitrogen in surprising quantities, accessing the vast stores both within Seiryu's body and that stored within the seals themselves. Additionally, these kunai are designed to provide some control to the electrical energy released by Seiryu's body. Additionally, like all projectiles from Seiryu's Transcendent form, they are marked with a forumula that allows Seiryu to transport to them.

The final, potentially most dangerous part of Seiryu's arsenal is the very controlled blast of electrical energy it can release from its mouth. By utilizing her chakra as a containment field, Chiyoko is capable of allowing Seiryu to fire what is essentially the destructive power of a fairly high level Raiton technique without actually molding the element herself. The blast can vary somewhat in shape and size, depending on how much chakra Chiyoko wishes to expend.

Name of Puppet: Genbu
Description: Genbu, compared to the base forms of all of her other puppets, is the largest of them all, over 10 feet in height and a massive girth. However, unlike her previous puppets which are stylized after ANBU members, Genbu is a massive 'stone' body which looks like a walking suit of armor. Genbu wields a massive 'stone' hammer, which is about 8 feet in length. There is a gap at the base of the handle for Fudō-myōō, so the bade of the weapon can be inserted. The shield offers the same functionality.

Genbu's shield is an equally massive tower shield that covers Genbu's massive size. Like all of the 'stone' used for Genbu, it is actually a metal that is designed to imitate stone. Below that, like all of her puppets is wood take from Yggdrasil. This shield has a special fuuinjutsu inscribed onto it, allowing for Genbu to create powerful barriers with it by utilizing the natural properties of the Yggdrasil wood (this expands an addition foot out of the tower shield). Hitsujiki is capable of allowing Genbu to be used as a conduit for his Doton element, giving the puppet actual abilities to preform Doton techniques.

The final abilities of Genbu are the seals used to produce an aura of mist around him in impressive quantities and the high pressure water jet that can be released from either his 'mouth' or center of his shield. He is also capable of using a version of Chakra Enhanced Strength, even through his shield and hammer.

Transcendent Form: In transcendent form, Genbu becomes an absolutely massive beast. Over 100 feet in length and over 70 feet wide (and appropriately proportioned height), Genbu is Chiyoko's largest puppet. Genbu, as a puppet, took the longest to make of her set, taking generations of her clansmen to make. It is made of very thick wood taken from Yggdrasil. The metal coating, as well as the seals are additions added on by Chiyoko, to give the puppet more power.

It should be noted, however, that due to Genbu's size, it essentially cannot move and if it does, it is very, very, very, very (keep going) slow. In this form, it can utilize a much stronger version of its water pressure cannon and can create a more expansive mist from its body. All throughout Genbu's body are seals which Chiyoko can utilize to enter an internal counterpart of that seal.

Name of Puppet: Vashi
Description: Vashi is another commonly used puppet by Chiyoko. Vashi's purpose in Chioyko's battles is generally supportive. Vashi wears a solid cornflower blue cloak and a mask that is that of a human face with blue face paint. Vashi is capable, unlike her other puppets, to actually preform handsigns with its 6 hands. This allows, if Chiyoko needs, another 'jutsu preparer' in a situation that may need multiple ninjutsu. The palms of this puppet also can protrude blades, much like the Seiryu puppet. Also like the Seiryu puppet, it is capable of utilizing liquid nitrogen from its palms.

Name of Puppet: Shiboshu
Description: Chiyoko’s smallest puppet. This puppet wields a metal staff with holes in it. The staff has a series of cylinders inside it at incredible pressure which can oscillate at will, allowing the staff to draw air in through the holes and cause it to modulate. This sound is devastating to the vestibular system and all who hear it are stricken by intense pain, so much so that they are bought to their knees and their ears begin to bleed. This can cause the eardrums to burst. The staff is also extremely strong and can be used for basic attacks.

Name of Puppet: Suzuno
Description: One of Chiyoko’s more dangerous puppets. This puppet looks much like a regular woman, at least when cloaked. However, there are countless holes in this puppet in various part allowing small needles to be pushed up from them on command. They can, as well, be sprayed out on lines, much like the ‘hair’ the puppet has. The puppet is one of the few that creates a good illusion of hair, with a bunch of needles on metal wire. This puppet wields a yari with a head that can be launched as a projectile. The puppet is also capable of firing the metal orbs and needles from its palm. In addition to Suzuno, there is a metal sphere that floats around her that is capable of expanding around objects through a series of seals and sliding mechanics to provide protection to allies.

Name of Puppet: Aesni
Description: A peculiar puppet that looks like a small woman. The puppet is covered in tiny pore-like holes and is filled with sand. When released from the seals, they are thrown out with surprising force, making a fairly significant dust cloud. This puppet prefers to be in close range, using four khopesh strapped to its body. It can fuse them together at the hilt to form a khopesh shuriken, two khopesh bladed staves, or use the normally and have Chiyoko control the remaining with puppet strings or launch them from its body.

Name of Puppet: Tasri
Description: Tasri is a puppet made of an odd substance that is identical to diamond except significantly less hard, though it is still harder than almost all metals. Tasri has a small chamber inside of it filled with flash-tags and a seal that contains hundreds of flash tags, and is able to ignite these flash tags from inside itself at will. The light from inside Tasri is refracted by its body, causing it to radiate with an exceptionally bright rainbow. This puppet can expand a 5x5 wall of this hardened diamond like substance in front of it with a raised palm.

Like some of Chiyoko's other puppets, this one has an alternative form, in which it can take the form of a fenghuang. The puppet maintains the appearance of diamond with flash tags in it. The feathers from this puppet can be launched much like Suzaku. However, each of these feathers behaves as a flash tag that are also visible in its core body.

Name of Puppet: Tiroi
Description: A large puppet that can shift between a “lion” form and a “human” form. The humanoid form wields a straight sword and kite shield. The seal on the sword allows a spiritual projection of the blade to be released when swung. Objects that come in contact with the projection are marked, allowing the puppet (or Chiyoko) to transport to it via jutsu. The projection has a range of 20 feet. The shield is marked with a seal as well that releases a surge of energy that is capable of stunning an individual for a moment. The shield cannot be used again within 30 seconds after it has been used while the fuuinjutsu recharges.

In the “lion” form, the puppet becomes a ‘living’ Gauss Cannon with its claws dug into the ground. The puppet’s interior is a chamber that contains a series of electromagnets on rings that can spin around at an incredible rate with an attractive force. The magnets have seals on them that create the “electro” part, feeding them with electrical energy. The seal is linked to a coil of wire around each magnet. This causes such forces of attraction that the puppet can release a torpedo (made of the same material/contents as Byakko’s metal balls) at an immense velocity. This takes 5 minutes to charge. The puppet’s interior has been soundproofed, meaning the charging of the cannon is silent. Because the magnets are controlled by chakra, the execution of the attraction and the bullet’s path are flawless.

Name of Puppet: Yokohama
Description: A white wolf masked puppet that has one of the smallest arsenals of all of Chiyoko’s puppets. It possesses a diasho. The katana of this daisho is infused with an ability similar to a flash tag in which it can produce a large amount of light from the blade. This puppet, as well, has a number of flash bombs that can be launched from its palms. This puppet also wears white and silver samurai armor with a three spiked shoulder piece over the left shoulder.

Name of Puppet: Sordichi
Description: A puppet with the mask of a woman that wields a large bow. This puppet gathers natural energy passively, even while moving. To use this, the puppet fires its bow and tries to lodge an arrow infused with natural energy within a target, which makes preforming techniques very difficult. Sordichi can also transfer natural energy through touch.

Name of Puppet: Kanoga
Description: The bladed whip wielding serpent masked puppet. It, like the Seiryu puppet, is capable of producing an electrical current through its weapon. In addition, it does have two kodachi that it can use, much like a regular fighter. The puppet is extremely flexible and it has an inner system that allows it to stretch and extend (movement much like a snake). It is humanoid with a snake mask.

Name of Puppet: Thifareemit
Description: Thifareemit is an owl masked puppet of black and gold. This puppet wields a staff with a series of rings on the top of it. These are connected to very strong lines of metal and the rings can be launched from the staff. They are not only very sharp and bladed, but also are capable of grabbing a hold of objects before clasping shut once again. Thifareemit also possesses many more of these rings around its body, allowing the puppet to use these as additional restraints. It should also be noted that the main lines from the staff possess the symbols for Chiyoko’s Tojikomemasu, allowing the lines to restrict jutsu usage if they are able to clasp onto an opponent.

Name of Puppet: Unotori
Description: One of Chiyoko’s more dangerous puppets. This puppet possess a large amount of explosive powder. This can be released from various 'pores'. The tip of its staff is capable of producing fire through a striker and fuel within the weapon. It has large shruiken mounted onto its back which can spin to push the black powder towards an opponent. It also has this powder in a small orb that can be thrown at enemies where it explodes into a cloud. This puppet is also humanoid and wears a black wolf mask. It can also launch the shuriken on its back or shuriken from stored seals on its body that are tipped with explosives.

Name of Puppet: Virae
Description: This puppet is made specially to allow it to use the abilities of the Glimpse of Heaven without significant preparation. However, it can only do this for a short range. The puppet wields two ninjato and does have a number of toxin coated needles and orbs. It is a classical ninja. The puppet is humanoid and slightly shorter than a normal person. Like her previous puppets, it is dressed like a member of ANBU, this time with a fox mask.

General Notes: All of Chiyoko's puppets are made up of wood from the tree Yggdrasil unless explicitly stated otherwise. Other accents are produces by the Masazane, Yuganori, and Yuki clans (or Chiyoko's clan itself). Many of the puppets with less variety in weaponry are designed to appear as human as possible. This means they tend to move more fluidly than other puppets.



【Kekkei Genkai】
Name of the Kekkei Genkai: Kāidǎo [Enlightened]
Type of Kekkei Genkai: Spiritual
Clan: N/A
Rank: S

Description: The Kāidǎo is a Kekkei Genkai that affords those that bear it a level of unique spiritual insight, granting them access to specific abilities relating to the Jōdo [Pure World] as well as their own soul.
The first gift bestowed by the Kāidǎo is the ability to create small, temporary gates to the Jōdo. Users of the technique can enter the Jōdo themselves through these gates in order to communicate, or can temporarily draw spirits out of the Jōdo in order to communicate with them.

The second gift bestowed by the Kāidǎo is a unique spiritual insight, allowing them to sense the soul and spiritual energy of individuals. Bearers of the Kāidǎo are typically fantastic sensor ninja due to this ability. Through this gift, the bearers of the Kāidǎo can also sense Hitodama.

The final gift bestowed by the Kāidǎo is the ability to astrally project, separating the spirit from the body and sending it to other locations.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

【Custom Jutsu】

Name of Technique: Tenmon [Heavenly Gate]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: S
Range: Variable
Nature Type: Kekkei Genkai
Handsigns: 10
Description: Tenmon can be initiated in one of two ways, either using the Eien no Sai or the Kuji Kiri. In the instance of the Kuji Kiri, the blades are placed in a circle around a person or persons and the handdsigns are preformed. Those trapped within the confines of the seal at the conclusion of the technique are sent to the Pure World, even if they are living. Chiyoko can contain a living person in the Pure World as long as she does not open the gate a second time. The second method of initiation is to completely encircle someone with threads from the Eien no Sai and collapse the barrier created the threads onto the person.

Within the pure world, the body will take on a corporeal form. While jutsu will still work in a spiritual form, taijutsu and weapons will be rendered useless - even specialty weapons not of the Pure World or Naraka.
Weakness: Displacing the knives or avoiding encirclement by the Eien no Sai. Living people trapped within the Pure World do not age, thirst, or hunger. Exertion in combat (as that is still possible) will exhaust the person.

Name of Technique: Taijū-kei Katamukemasu [Tip the Scales] | Jō to Kagi [Lock and Key]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: S
Range: Variable
Nature Type: Kekkei Genkai
Handsigns: Variable
Description: Taijū-kei Katamukemasu can be executed in multiple ways. In the normal world, the technique can be initiated by contact with each of Chiyoko's Kuji-kiri. In the case of usage on the Pure World, Taijū-kei Katamukemasu can be executed more similarly to Tenmon in which the Eien no Sai can be used for the technique. The technique is one of the most terrifying of Chiyoko's techniques and is used to judge a person's soul, allowing Chiyoko to send them from the Pure World into a level of Naraka.

The alternative to this technique [Jō to Kagi] is to send someone to an entirely unique realm of Naraka created by Chiyoko herself. This is done by engulfing a person with her Purifying Fire at the same time she uses Taijū-kei Katamukemasu. The terrifying aspect of Jō to Kagi is that only Chiyoko is capable of accessing that realm of Naraka.
Weakness: Very specific method of executing this technique.

Name of Technique: Tengoku no Hitome [Glimpse of Heaven]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: B-S
Range: Variable
Nature Type: Kekkei Genkai, requires Eien no Sai
Handsigns: N/A
Description: Tengoku no Hitome can be used in a variety of ways. In the simplest form, Tengoku no Hitome places one of the rings from the Eien no Sai onto a person or object. After this has been done, the staff is tapped against the ground which allows the person or object to be transported immediately through to the Pure World and then immediately back out in a new location. The distance this can be done is dependent on the size of the object and the distance transported, providing a seal has not been already placed to determine the exit location. The alternative method and usage of this technique is as a barrier and transport technique for multiple people. By encircling a person or persons with the lines from the Eien no Sai in a wide net, the user can create a barrier in which any object passing through it will be temporarily transported to the Pure World. Techniques and physical objects will cease to function in the Pure World, rendering the technique useful in countering powerful techniques. People that make contact with the barrier will merely come out of another point of the barrier after a brief delay. The construction of the barrier must be done by creating a net like pattern with the Eien no Sai. The shape of this net pattern is flexible, but there must be a geometric shape that does not intersect with a living person before the barrier is initiated. The closer woven the lines are together, the more efficient the technique is.
Weakness: High chakra cost if not well prepared. If the technique is initiated with a ring of the Eien no Sai, then the transported individual is then free.

Name of Technique: Kami no Eikyō [Divine Influence]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Range: Long
Nature Type: Kekkei Genkai, requires Eien no Sai
Handsigns: N/A
Description: Instead of utilizing the Eien no Sai as a weapon against an opponent, the rings can instead be attached to puppets as an alternative to chakra strings. These provide a longer range on the activity of the puppets at the cost of reducing the Eien no Sai's overall power.
Weakness: Limits attack options by using the Eien no Sai.

Name of Technique: Gūzō Sūhai [Idolatry]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: B
Range: Long
Nature Type: Kekkei Genkai
Handsigns: 3
Description: Chiyoko separates her spirit from her body and places it within one of her puppets, allowing her to control it at exceptionally long ranges, as well as sense through the puppet itself.
Weakness: Body remains motionless until the spirit returns to the body.

Name of Technique: Jōka Kasai [Purifying Fire]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: B
Range: Variable
Nature Type: Kekkei Genkai
Handsigns: 3
Description: This technique engulfs the hands and feet of the user in what appears to be a white fire. However, the fire is a specialized ritual fire comprised of purified hitodoama. When this fire, which can be applied to objects such as the Eien no Sai, make contact with anything containing any form of spiritual energy, it will separate that energy from whatever it was mixed with. By providing extra chakra, this technique can be used as a short range projectile (5 feet) and increase the amount of fire. This is often run along the lines of the Eien no Sai. This can be applied to normal fire and fire techniques as a combination technique.
Weakness: Generally limited range.

Name of Technique: Mugai Tsūkō [Safe Passage]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: A
Range: Variable
Nature Type: Kekkei Genkai
Handsigns: 1
Description: After gathering spirits in a location or to the tip of the Eien no Sai, Chiyoko is capable of transporting herself to that location, dispersing the spirits back to the Pure World. In the case of the Eien no Sai, Chiyoko can transfer spirits from the staff, or her body as a conduit, into a person or object, allowing her to teleport to the marked person or object.
Weakness: The spirits will naturally disperse after awhile if a formal seal is not constructed.

Name of Technique: Shūshū Seishin [Gathering Spirit]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Range: Short
Nature Type: Kekkei Genkai
Handsigns: N/A
Description: This technique gathers hitodama or shiki into an object or area that Chiyoko has made recent contact with. Once there, spirits will gather and await direction. This technique is usually done fairly passively on a regular basis as a method to utilizing her other techniques. Objects such as the Eien no Sai create a faint glow when imbued with the effects of Gathering Spirit. Many other techniques that use Gathering Spirit will create visible effects despite them using hitodama and shiki. Spirits can be gathered at a location at range, but doing so makes the location visible even to those that are not capable of sensing spirits naturally.
Weakness: No direct combat applications. Takes time to gather spirits.

Name of Technique: Senzo no Shidō [Ancestral Guidance]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: B
Range: N/A
Nature Type: Kekkei genkai, requires Kuji Kiri
Handsigns: N/A
Description: By inserting a blade of the Kuji Kiri into a corresponding puppet, Chiyoko can bypass many of the restrictions on the operation of her puppets. While it still takes her chakra, the puppet is no controlled by the spirit that embodies the Kuji Kiri, allowing her to control many of her puppets at a single time.
Weakness: Eliminates Chiyoko's ability to use her Kuji Kiri for any other techniques.

Name of Technique: Chōshū-Hei [Conscript]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: Kekkei Genkai
Range: N/A
Nature Type: Kekkei Genkai
Handsigns: 200
Description: An impractical technique to use in combat. This technique binds a fully formed spirit into service of Chiyoko, giving them the title shiki. Shiki are different in hitodama in that they are always faintly visible unless they are within a container. The advantage to shiki is that unlike hitodama which are much weaker, shiki are strong and will not disperse to the Pure Land as long as Chiyoko remains alive. Shiki are usually stored within objects or even the person conscripting their service themselves. Shiki are often alternatives to using hitodama for a technique. Shiki that are used in place of hitodama that are consumed will return to their owner after a minute. Shiki can move fairly quickly and freely in the world and be used as focal points for many other spiritual techniques, such as Gathering Spirit or Safe Passage.
Weakness: Takes a long time to conscript a spirit. Not just any spirit can become a shiki either. These must either be willing participants or souls of the recently departed or souls that are already bound to another object. Chiyoko has currently 3 Shiki in addition to the Council of Nine and Hitsujiki, both of which are forms of shiki.

Name of Technique: Kodoku
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: S++
Range: N/A
Nature Type: Kekkei Genkai
Handsigns: 200
Description: A powerful ritual technique passed down through the leadership of Chiyoko's clan. By collecting a large number of souls within a container, Chiyoko can create a spiritual free for all within the created object. The souls will consume each other over the course of a month. The last soul remaining becomes exceptionally powerful, depending on the number of other souls consumed. At this point, the new soul can be placed within a mortal body and enhance their power drastically. Alternatively, should a sacrifice be given to the new soul, it can take a physical form that is determined by the amount of consumed spirits and the will of the initiator of this technique. It is theoretically possible to give a gennin the power of a kage with this technique.
Weakness: The Kodoku is a kinjutsu within Chiyoko's clan for good reason. While able to create an exceptionally powerful entity, there is a price for the power granted. Each month a person must be consumed by the individual that contains the spirit or the initiator of the technique must feed the created beast. In the event the best cannot be fed, it will immediately consume its host until it can find another host.

Name of Technique: Shinjitsu ni Densetsu [Legend to Truth]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: A-S
Range: N/A
Nature Type: kekkei genkai
Handsigns: 200
Description: An out of combat technique that is used to reshape the spiritual form of a being, as well as purify it (this would only work on bijuu). This techniques only application is to recreate the bijuu in the image of Chiyoko's clan to bring back their believed deities to this world.
Weakness: No combat applications.

Name of Technique: Reihan [Spirit Seal]
Type of Jutsu: Fuuinjutsu, ninjutsu
Rank: A
Range: N/A
Nature Type: kekke genkai
Handsigns: Dependent on Seal Complexity
Description: As an alternative to utilizing other forms, Chiyoko can confine hitodama and shiki into an area that creates the effects of the seal. While this can be applied to any sealing technique the user is capable of learning or cooperating with, Reihan's true and actual form is to seal spirits and bijuu into appropriate containers. The advantage to Reihan constructed seals is that they will not degrade over time and continue to persist even if the technique creator would die. However, most complex spirit seals will require a shiki to be freed and used as a focal point for the technique.

Many in Chiyoko's clan shape their own spirits into Generic Weapon Seals using this technique. This can also be used for summoning puppets in their base form, but without any specialty effects from the specific summoning. Each puppet can be summoned with a singular sign (including a group of puppets).

Reihan can additionally be used to tie a seal into a shiki or object and the next instance of contact with that object or shiki will apply the seal's effect (shiki can move about as fast as a thrown kunai).
Weakness: Significant time to set up depending on the technique.

Name of Technique: Kinryū Hogo Takara [Golden Dragon Guards Treasure]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: A
Range: Variable
Nature Type: N/A
Handsigns: 5
Description: Summons the Chiyoko's Ōryū puppet directly around her or in a location (around a person) that is infused with a spirits. The dragon will appear coiled around them in a protective fashion.
Weakness: N/A

Name of Technique: Kyōi Hai kara Taitō [Phoenix Rises from Ashes]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: A
Range: Variable
Nature Type: N/A
Handsigns: 3/5/15
Description: Summons Chiyoko's Suzaku puppet in her near vicinity in either normal, transcendent or spiritual form. Same criteria as her other puppet summoning techniques for usage. This technique also serves as an offensive attack as the puppet will appear engulfed in flames, should Chiyoko choose.
Weakness: N/A

Name of Technique: Seiryū Arashi no Mae Ni [Blue Dragon Precedes Storm]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: A
Range: Variable
Nature Type: N/A
Handsigns: 3/5/15
Description: Like her previous summon, the puppet is summoned to an appropriate location in any form. This summon also appears with crackles of lightning from its body in the first few seconds of the puppet's appearance. making it exceptionally dangerous if summoned near an enemy.
Weakness: N/A

Name of Technique: Shiroi Tora Hōkō [White Tiger Roar]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: A
Range: variable
Nature Type: N/A
Handsigns: 3/5/15
Description: Same as previous summons. Chiyoko summons the puppet Byakko which erupts with a blast of force much like the Hyuuga's Vacuum Palm.
Weakness: N/A

Name of Technique: Kame Tate Tomodachi [Tortoise Shields Friend]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: A
Range: Variable
Nature Type: N/A
Handsigns: 3/5/15
Description: Summons the Genbu puppet. This puppet can only be summoned on the ground (unlike others which can be summoned in the air) if it is summoned in its transcendent form. If summoned in either form, the puppet can be summoned directly around the user as a form of defense, as Genbu has a large hollow pocket in both forms.
Weakness: N/A

Name of Technique: Shin no Sugata [True Form]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: A
Range: N/A
Nature Type: Kekkei Genkai
Handsigns: Variable
Description: This technique summons any of Chiyko's puppet(s) in their true form - comprised entirely of hitodama. The benefit of this form is that they are largely immune to physical attacks (jutsu will still work), which means even in the event that her puppets have been physically destroyed, she can still utilize them by forming hitodama into the appropriate structure. The puppets maintain all of the original functionality, but boast a significantly higher chakra cost. They can still be harmed by physical attacks, but only when gathering energy to utilize their techniques or when attacking themselves. If they are harmed, the hitodama will scatter and the structure will fall apart quickly over time (depending on the damage).
Weakness: Only one puppet can be used in this manner in the mortal world. The maximum time this can e done is 3 minutes. In the Pure World these restrictions are bypassed.

Name of Technique: Seishin ni Karada [Body to Spirit]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: B
Range: Personal
Nature Type: Kekkei Genkai
Handsigns: 1
Description: Chiyoko pulls her body into the pure world temporarily, but leaves her spirit behind. After three seconds, her body snaps back to her spirit in its new location.
Weakness: This technique cannot be used more than once a minute.

Name of Technique: Tojikomemasu
Type of Jutsu: Fuuinjutsu
Rank: A
Range: Touch
Nature Type: N/A
Description: A blow landed with the Tojikomemasu will pull all of the victim’s chakra to the point of the seal. It will take about one minute for the victim’s chakra to be pulled in. This limits their ability to use jutsu. If an A or S rank is struck with this jutsu, they could only use C rank techniques. It scales with the ranks of the individuals this seal is placed on.

【Personality】
Kinuko is a person blessed with both an icy temperament and demeanour, as persistent as the harsh winds of winter and equally as frigid. Kinuko initially comes across as a cold, unfeeling person who is willing to put everything aside for what she wants. It seems that she favours a goal-oriented approach and that the end justifies the means, and in doing so, that she does not place a particularly high value on human lives or the pristine code of ethics that societies try to base themselves upon. This, like much about Kinuko, is not necessarily as it seems. Kinuko is as stoic and implacable as a statue, and this steely demeanour echoes deeply into the depths of her psyche - but despite her resolute nature, she is not cold or unforgiving. Kinuko firmly believes in the cyclical nature of all things, that every action has an equal and opposite reaction, and despite her goal-oriented methods, what she truly favours above all else is the notion of balance.

While possessed of a determination to succeed surpassed by only the most influential and powerful of people, Kinuko will never violate her core set of principles in order to achieve her goals, as her principles are among the few things that she holds sacrosanct above all else in her life. For every action she takes that brings forth a change in a system, she will take appropriate actions to counteract the shift in balance that she has caused. With that in mind, it is important to note that Kinuko's sense of perspective is far greater than most can ever claim - and while her actions may seem to violate her self-imposed tenets at times, it is likely that she is following a design even more grand than what she lets on.

While balance is certainly the core upon which Kinuko's being revolves, how that equates to her general demeanour is a significantly more demanding question. She appears to be stoic and emotionless, speaking only when necessary, but this is merely a front that her actions and non-actions might not disrupt any tentative balances that she becomes involved in. Kinuko's emotions vary wildly, from deeply passionate and smouldering, to worried for her future and for the balance as a whole, to being utterly consumed by one of the less virtuous emotions - but her front only ever shows the cold apathy that is associated with her in order to preserve her most treasured tenet.

Kinuko will often speak only when spoken to, or when necessary information must be disseminated, but she often feels strongly about situations that she is placed into. She will not reveal how she feels for fear of disrupting the balance, but when an opportunity arises to show her true feelings and keep the balance, or even take appropriate actions to counteract her initial action, she will not hesitate to speak exactly what she feels. Kinuko lacks a certain sense of tact that the more eloquent in the world are proficient in, and rather than act recklessly, she chooses to be apathetic. This lack of tact does not mean that Kinuko lacks the ability to perceive when tact is necessary, however, and Kinuko is one of the most level-headed, tactical and reasonable thinkers of a generation - despite her refusal to say things in half measures, she knows that they are appropriate and have their uses, and is adept at understanding the social subtext that can typically go unnoticed - it is, however, a game that she refuses to play despite knowing how.

【Chakra Nature(s)】
Oriton [Weave Release]

【Abilities and Special Traits】
Kinuko is an exceptionally skilled user of Kenjutsu, having trained rigorously in the arts all of her life. Her introduction to the craft was initially peaceful in nature, as a form of meditation and rigorous self-discipline, and due to this her grasp of the fundamentals of Kenjutsu are extremely high. Later in her life, she began using it as an offensive tool, and has practiced rigorously ever since. The only blade she has ever used in her life is Hanashi, which has lead to a great deal of familiarity with her style, and an exceptional level of comfort with the blade that only the most exceptional of Kenjutsu users can claim.

Kinuko is skilled in her clan’s Kekkei Genkai, having saved several ancient texts from destruction that furthered her knowledge on its usage. She has studied the ancient knowledge diligently over many years, and has achieved a level of mastery in it that few members of her clan have ever achieved since the lost glory days of the Yuganori.

Kinuko has a fairly large chakra pool due to her clan’s way of life - heavily invested in mental and physical discipline, which naturally bestows upon its members a large pool of energy.

Kinuko’s chakra control is extremely fine due to years upon years of constant diligence and practice, aided by the old knowledge that she pilfered from the Yuganori before defecting.

Kinuko is not particularly naturally intelligent, but has gained a rather large pool of knowledge from her constant studies. She prides herself on having a moderate capacity to learn backed with an intense dedication and desire to succeed, which has left her quite wise for her age. Kinuko is, however, a prodigious thinker - her capacity to learn is not overly great, but her ability to analyse situations is extremely strong, and she is logical to the extreme, allowing for impressive displays of tactics not befitting her station.



【History】
The Yuganori clan are one of the few able to claim an unbroken lineage from time immemorial, which has lead them to have a more rich and diverse history than others. Most of this history is too old to be remembered, or too new to truly be history, but there are feats and stories within the clan that did truly make history.

From its initial conception, the Yuganori clan was made of like-minded people who had an interest in perfecting the arts of creating fine textiles - typically with silk - when the world was largely bereft of such finery. As has always been the case, those with power desired the finer things in life to prove their superiority, and so the Yuganori created for themselves a purpose and a niche in the unforgiving world of peasants and nobles. Over time, their fame and renown grew, and more people asked of their silks - but while its founders were masters of their crafts, their children had not yet blossomed into their talent, and the demand posed upon them could not be answered promptly. At this point, however, the clan was renowned enough that people were willing to wait, and the clan realised the power that the avarice of the world had given them.

From these days onwards, the clan became more regimented in how it trained its young, for they were determined not to succumb to the same avarice that had risen them up lest it be their eventual downfall. Their children were given a sense of balance and of purpose, and honed thoroughly in their crafts from a young age that the demands for fine clothing and arts could be fulfilled. The continued patronage of various nobility had made the clan fairly wealthy - but their founders' sense of well-roundedness and balance had managed to persist and the clan was far from greedy - the money was aptly used to secure their place in the world, and to help those beneath them who had not yet found their niche.

The tides of history often change without rhyme or reason, and so did they change one fateful day when the nobility no longer required the Yuganori's patronage. The Yuganori were, by this point, relatively noble in and of themselves, but the change in the world did not bode well for their propensity for large funds. They turned their expertise inwards, towards the clans that surrounded them, and offered their services not for money, but for training. This relationship with the other clans quickly grew strong, and soon the clan of craftsmen were as trained for warfare as any of the other clans.

Unlike in most stories, there was no great dissent between the Yuganori and its compatriots - perhaps why they have an unbroken lineage - but as the clan persisted, the times that had founded it and enabled its existence as it was did not. In time, the pursuit of warfare became more and more important, and the Yuganori began to specialise in this regard. With the help of their allies, innovations the like of which have not been seen for ages were made and stored within silken scrolls, that their knowledge might persevere if nothing else did, and all prospered.

When war struck, the Yuganori suffered very few casualties, though their friends and allies did not share such a fortunate fate. Time once again moved on, thinning the other clans but allowing the Yuganori to remain as they always had been. Still, not all things are as they seem, and poor choices in leadership led to the decline of the Yuganori's persistently high fortune. While the clan had largely been kept free of the impurities of sin that its founders had so desperately tried to avoid, their influence was inevitable. Sin crept through the clan's leadership, and as the ages passed their lineage remained the only thing pure about them.

Yuganori, Kinuko was the first bright light the clan had seen since the golden age of the clan. She was a well-rounded individual who saw the balance in all things, as the clan had done in the past, and the sin that gripped the clan's leadership made her shudder. As she grew up, she made efforts to keep her opinion free from bias, and she studied the ancient lore eagerly. In the light of her studies, the leadership determined that they would sell the few priceless artifacts that the clan had retained in order to bolster the state of their coffers. Kinuko refused to allow that to happen, taking the silk-sealed scrolls and the fabled sword Hanashi from the vault in the dead of night and fleeing with them, to a place where her clan could not defile them with sin.

This is where the written history of Kinuko ends, but there is more history in the world than what is written down.

Name of Weapon or Item: Hanashi [Death Blossom]
Location: Yuganori, Kinuko
Owner: Yuganori, Kinuko
Rank: A

Description: The Hanashi is a priceless artifact of the Yuganori clan that was saved from destruction by Kinuko when she chose to leave her clan.

Hanashi is a katana that is fairly unique among katana as it does not have a blade permanently attached to it. There is an elaborate seal engraved onto the guard in the rough shape of a spider with curved legs, arranged so that the gap where the blade would be is correspondent to the thorax of the spider, and the legs reach to the edges of the square guard to form its boundaries. When Oriton chakra is introduced to the seal, it forms a symbiotic link with the user that allows the user to weave their Oriton chakra through the blade.

Kinuko is proficient with the blade, and is able to create blades made of her silk that are surprisingly sharp due to their chakra content. The blades are flammable and can be cut by sufficiently well-made blades with a higher chakra content than Hanashi’s.

The primary power of the Hanashi lies within the Yuganori clan’s ability to weave seals into the materials that it creates. The user is able to create blades that are imbued with very specific powers and discard them when necessary in order to create additional blades. Hanashi also has the intrinsic property of being able to weave Oriton chakra into anything that comes into contact with the seal, however, and blades can be created of any solid or liquid material if they are easily permeable to chakra.

A little-known ability of the blade is its ability to combat and harmonise with other seals - it is able to weave Oriton chakra through a seal and create a blade imbued with the same power as the seal, removing it from its source in the process. In the same vein, it can also imbue other materials with seals by weaving its fibres through the object in question.



【Kekkei Genkai】

Oriton [Weave Release]

Name of the Kekkei Genkai: Oriton [Weave Release]

Type of Kekkei Genkai: Bodily Modification; Ninjutsu; Fuuinjutsu

Clan: Yuganori

Rank: A

Description: The Oriton is a complex Kekkei Genkai as it has two aspects to it - the first aspect of the Oriton grants its users the ability to create a unique type of chakra comprised of the Suiton and Doton natures that takes the form of silk or other fibrous materials. The second aspect, by far the more complex of the two, causes its users to have sets of silk glands within their body at key locations, such as the wrists and ankles. The silk glands are infused heavily with the Oriton chakra, and are able to create a vast number of materials and thread them together - in advanced cases, this can be used to mix multiple types of materials together to create a single weave, which contains the properties of both materials used.

Typically, the Oriton is used to create silks, which have a strong tensile strength and are extremely malleable, and can do so with enough complexity that the fibres can be arranged in such a pattern that Fuuinjutsu can be woven into them. By changing how the fibres are woven and restructuring the silk, different abilities and effects can be conferred onto them in order to best suit the user’s purposes.

Weakness: The Oriton is a demanding Kekkei Genkai to use and master, requiring almost constant attention and discipline to be used effectively. For this reason, it is very rare to see its users performing other kinds of ninjutsu or genjutsu.

【Canon Jutsu】

Basic Academy Techniques

【Custom Jutsu】

Name of Technique: Tenchi [Heaven and Earth]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Range: Personal
Nature Type: N/A
Handsigns: N/A

Description: The user becomes adept at sensing the presence of the internal chakra system within a range of thirty feet (radius) around themselves. The user also becomes adept at sensing the displacement of air, and sensing vibrations through the ground, making it very difficult to sneak up on them or otherwise catch them off guard.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Kyōsei Keiyaku Kuchiyose no Jutsu [Forced Contract Summoning Technique]
Type of Jutsu: Fūinjutsu
Rank: C
Range: Potentially Infinite
Nature Type: N/A
Handseals: Standard handsigns for Kuchiyose no Jutsu

Description: The Kyōsei Keiyaku Kuchiyose no Jutsu is a seal that does not have a specific location or contract with a being, but is essentially a summoning jutsu. Thusly, if the user acquires the blood of a victim they may summon the victim to them or they may reverse-summon themselves to the victim. This costs no more than a normal summoning jutsu and can be used anywhere, at any time. This technique is unique in that it may also form one-sided contracts with objects given they have chakra/are chakra infused, and that chakra is imbued into a seal. Does not require handsigns if the user is summoning themselves to an inanimate object.

Weakness: Requires the blood of the victim/chakra of the ally/object. Cannot summon a person/object if objects are in the way [i.e., the summoning must keep the form of whom/whatever it summons intact]. The blood/chakra acquired can only be used for a single summoning before new blood/chakra must be collected.

Name of Technique: Tenmaru Kanzen [Perfect Heaven Circle]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Range: Personal
Nature Type: N/A
Handsigns: N/A

Description: The user focuses their chakra inwards, manipulating their nervous system in a way similar to that of Genjutsu. The user’s senses become extremely sharply refined, almost as if entering into a superhuman state of awareness, but they lose all ability to perceive anything outside of the thirty-five foot radius range of the technique. The technique can only be initiated on a solid surface, and if the user takes more than four steps in any direction (unless they are reacting to something within the confines of the Tenmaru Kanzen), the state is cancelled.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Kumonosu no Jutsu [Spider’s Web Technique]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Range: Short - Long
Nature Type: Oriton
Handsigns: N/A

Description: Kinuko creates a thick bundle of sticky silk fibres with the 縛る [Shibaru; Bind] seal woven into the threads, causing them to chemically bind to the first item they encounter. Using her silk glands, she is able to keep the fibres attached to her body in order to grab things and manipulate them.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Mayu [Cocoon]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Range: Short-Long
Nature Type: Oriton
Handsigns: N/A

Description: Kinuko creates a mass of Oriton chakra centered in her wrist and launches an orb from her hand. Upon coming into contact with a target, the orb of chakra will reform into sticky silk fibres that are difficult to cut around the hit target, effectively trapping them inside a cocoon of silk. The cocoon will only last for a maximum of five seconds before dissipating.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Kumo no Su-nai Gijutsu [In the Spider’s Web Technique]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: B
Range: 50 feet
Nature Type: Oriton
Handsigns: N/A

Description: Kinuko creates a small ball of highly condensed silken strands, each of which is imbued with a 縛る [Shibaru; Bind] seal. With a single motion, the sphere bursts outwards, causing the strands to cover a large sphere at multiple points. If a target is hit by the strands, the seal binds the silk to their body/clothing/armour. At any point, Kinuko is able to draw the strands of silk towards herself or Hanashi, pulling whatever the strands are bound to towards her.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Sen'ijō Hōyō [Fibrous Embrace]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: S
Range: Short
Nature Type: Oriton
Handsigns: N/A

Description: Kinuko unravels the fibres of any material created by her Oriton chakra while it is inside another person, and directs the fibres to sew themselves into the muscles associated with her opponent’s somatic nervous system. After the fibres have successfully done so, Kinuko is able to forcibly control the muscular movements of the affected opponent.

If Hanashi touches an opponent while this ability is in place, Sen'ijō Hōyō is immediately cancelled, but the fibres remain embedded within the muscles. They cannot be reactivated with this technique, but are very painful.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Shōshū no Inkan [Seal of Convocation]
Type of Jutsu: Fuuinjutsu
Rank: C
Range: Variable
Nature Type: Oriton
Handsigns: N/A

Description: A seal woven into the materials created by the Oriton. The seal acts as a temporary summoning contract that does not require blood to be activated, allowing Kinuko to transport herself to the silk or the silk back to her. She can also create the temporary contracts with other people (with their permission), allowing them to use the same abilities.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Hikisaku no Inkan [Seal of Rending]
Type of Jutsu: Fuuinjutsu
Rank: C
Range: Variable
Nature Type: Oriton
Handsigns: N/A

Description: A seal woven into the materials created by the Oriton. The seal is spatially linked to all other Hikisaku no Inkan, in such a fashion that any object that enters into the first will pass through unhindered and be released from the second seal. The Hikisaku no Inkan must be created in pairs in order to be effective.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Fukyōwaon no Inkan [Seal of Dissonance]
Type of Jutsu: Fuuinjutsu
Rank: C
Range: 15 feet / 5 feet
Nature Type: Oriton
Handsigns: N/A

Description: A seal woven into the materials created by the Oriton. The seal releases a pulse of abnormal chakra every three seconds, causing all genjutsu effects or other chakra-based effects that disrupt the nervous system (e.g., not Ranshinshou) to end, and destroying all C-Ranked or below ninjutsu that comes into contact with it. If the seal is inside a person’s body, the pulses will begin to destroy the vessels of their chakra system.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Idō no Inkan [Seal of Transference]
Type of Jutsu: Fuuinjutsu
Rank: C
Range: Variable
Nature Type: Oriton
Handsigns: N/A

Description: A seal woven into the materials created by the Oriton. Whenever kinetic energy is applied to the seal, instead of being applied to the object the energy is stored within the seal. At any point, Kinuko is able to release all of the energy stored within the seal.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Yokoito to Ori [Weft and Weave]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: S
Range: N/A
Nature Type: Oriton
Handsigns: N/A

Description: Kinuko creates highly advanced versions of chakra strings, utilising her Oriton chakra to grant the strings immense flexibility and tensile strength (which makes them almost impossible to cut). The chakra strings are able to be woven into other substances of the same shape (such as metal wire, for example) to transform the substance into a Yokoito to Ori chakra string that carries all of the properties of the new material as well as the properties and seals bestowed upon it by the Oriton chakra. These chakra strings will never naturally expire, but Kinuko is able to disperse them at will.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Hanashi: Nomihosu [Death Blossom: Siphon]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu; Kenjutsu
Rank: A
Range: Immediate vicinity of Hanashi
Nature Type: Oriton
Handsigns: N/A

Description: Kinuko places the bladeless hilt of Hanashi on a person, chakra, a solid material, or a liquid. By utilising Oriton chakra through the seal on Hanashi, Kinuko is able to create a blade made of whatever material that the hilt of Hanashi is currently placed on (this process removes the material from wherever it last was). If placed on a person, their blood is siphoned off to create a blade, which becomes solid. Liquids will also become solid while being siphoned by Hanashi.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Hanashi: Henkan [Death Blossom: Conversion]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu; Kenjutsu
Rank: A
Range: Immediate vicinity of Hanashi
Nature Type: Oriton
Handsigns: N/A

Description: Whenever a non-Oriton source is the blade of Hanashi, Kinuko is able to permanently convert this to a blade by binding it with a seal to one of the eight legs of the spider seal on the blade. Kinuko is able to recall any of the sealed blades at any time.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

【Personality】

Yodai Touho, before her coronation as Windspeaker, was a troubled woman. Nights of dreamless sleeps and sleepless dreams wore at her confidence, at her faith in herself, until her soul was exposed to the elements that govern the realms of body and mind. For most, an exposed soul leads to trepidation, and to doubt, and eventually to the great sleep - but not for Touho. Touho persisted, despite her exposed soul, and faith brought her back from the darkest place she had ever been in. It has been said, all too often, that once you reach rock bottom there is only one way to go - up. From the depths of despair did Touho rise, opening herself fully and truly to Fūjin, and she prospered.

Windspeaker Touho was never particularly determined or passionate in her youth - days would sail by, and she would sail by with them, idly waiting for something exciting or interesting to happen to her. She had daydreams of fantastical adventures, of a higher purpose, and occasionally of what life could have been like if she had taken a different path. For one who dwells in the dark recesses of the idle mind, the light can become hard to bear, and so did Touho retreat further into the depths of imagination. For the longest time she was stuck there, waiting for something to bring her unrealistic dreams to fruition, until before she realised it she was living her life inside a dream, only waking when she retreated deep into slumber and imagination.

Truth is a light that reveals everything - for better or for worse - and for one so used to the darkness the truth can be unwelcome. The truth offers no comfort, only the harsh gaze of reality, and Touho was used to nothing but comfort for most of her younger life. When shown the path, confronted with the great light, it seems like the best thing to do is retreat, and retreat Touho did until she was back in the comfort of the dark. Change rarely comes easily, but despite her initial apprehension Touho soon begun to see sense, to see the illusions that she had wrapped herself in for what they were, and turned to the light with her exposed soul. The light changed her, not because she saw some grand truth and was stricken by epiphany, but because her very soul was exposed to the universal truth - and at that moment she truly began to believe.

After that, Touho had a life of purpose. She was a Windspeaker, one committed thoroughly to Fūjin, and she used her newfound faith to give herself purpose. She is dedicated to her path, and she knows full well that she cannot retreat into the dark like she did as a child. This inner strength has shown itself multiple times, allowing her to make decisions that weaker beings would falter at, and allowing her to live full well with the consequences of her actions. Perhaps it could be said that she has little appreciation for life or anything she does not deem holy; that may well be true, but it gives her the strength to do what she feels she must, and her convictions are true enough to justify her actions - at least, they are to her and to Fūjin.

Touho is polite, well-spoken, and above all else kind. She may not have suffered the awful fates of some, but she knows that only chance spared her from such things and she shows the compassion and mercy towards the broken and less fortunate people that she feels they deserve. She looks after the lessermost people under her care, and through everything cares for them as much as she cares for herself. Certain values are expected of those who claim to be closest to any deity, and Touho delivers fully on these expectations. She is not kind for fear of damnation, or for any corrupt reason, she is kind because she sees herself a hundred thousand times over whenever she looks at anybody less fortunate than herself, and she would never wish the fate of the less fortunate on anybody because she knows how close she was to becoming one of those people.

There are few truly good souls in the world. Most are marred by imperfection and sin, and even those that claim to be truly golden hide behind a thin veneer of hubris. Perhaps Windspeaker Touho is one of these truly good souls - or perhaps she is not. She does not know, and for the most part, she does not care. Windspeaker Touho burdens herself only with her god and with her people - and for her people, there is no decision so hard that she cannot make it. Brutality and lack of emotion may enter into her heart, for a time, if a situation demands it - but above all else she cares for her people. Everything she does is for their wellbeing, and for the prosperity of her god. If this does not make her a truly good soul, then she is not a truly good soul - and at the end of the day, she cares little for titles.



【History】

"Until Fūjin found me, all I knew was hunger. I hungered not only for food, but for purpose, for a reason to go on. Now I have found that reason - or, more accurately - that reason has found me." - Windspeaker Touho

The woman known as Windspeaker Touho started out life as an orphan, her father dead before her birth and her mother dead giving birth to her. In Shimogakure, this was not necessarily an uncommon fate. There were two major paths for an orphan in Shimogakure - to go to an orphanage, where you would be beaten, mistreated, and probably dead within five years... Or to go to the Temple of Fūjin, to be raised as an acolyte, and to be given purpose. Few were given the luxury of the Temple's life, but Windspeaker Touho was chosen - it was said that there was a presence about her that made the priestesses think of Fūjin, and in that respect she was worthy to join the temple.

Touho's early life - or what she remembers of it - was a mixture of chores, scriptures, and more chores. Life was not easy, but every day she ate well and she was kept warm, which was not a feat that all of the inhabitants of Shimogakure could boast. She felt content with her simple life. Days rolled by and as soon as Touho reached the correct age, she was trained in the arts of the Ninja, that she might serve her new god better. At this point, Touho was an arrogant teenager, and she thought she knew everything. She began to doubt that Fūjin even existed, lost faith in the scriptures she had been taught, and rebelled against the system that had spared her from death.

One night, after a particularly intense day of training, Touho found herself at the altar to Fūjin, questioning why she had been put on this path. She must have made some noise, for the revered priestess heard her, and she came over to comfort the young Touho. She explained that Fūjin's winds crossed many paths, and that while the current state of affairs may have seemed bleak, it was just a point on the journey leading Touho to her absolute destination. All she could think was that the revered priestess was full of herself.

Over the years, Touho's training increased and she became increasingly adept at Fūjin's arts, and she began to see more and more how right the revered priestess was. She dedicated herself to Fūjin's cause entirely, opting to join the military ranks of the priesthood, and continued down the path that she was set on. It was the least she could do for the people that saved her from an otherwise horrible life. Unfortunately for Touho and the other Windspeakers, Shimogakure was too close to the rampaging Nine-Tailed Fox and the Temple of Fūjin, as well as the rest of Shimogakure, were utterly destroyed in the rampage. Through some miracle, or perhaps Divine Intervention, Touho and a contingent of acolytes of Fūjin were not killed and spared beneath the rubble of the temple.
With nowhere else to go, Touho led her people out of the ruins of Shimogakure. It took them less than a week to find the village of Kyokujitsu no Tochi, and Touho petitioned Sankage Ayameko to allow the acolytes of Fūjin to stay with those at the holy mountain Fūjin. Ayameko graciously accepted, and Touho went to live at the Temple of Fūjin.
Touho very quickly rose through the ranks of the Windspeakers, being elected as their leader after two short years. Under Touho’s rule the Windspeakers became prosperous and worship of Fūjin gained traction, gathering many followers from the village. Touho personally delivered the children Kisaki and Rin into the world under the grace of Fūjin, and has remained a respected presence in the land ever since, contributing to the stories of Kyokujitsu no Tochi’s hospitability.
Now in her later years, Touho continues to teach the ways of Fūjin to the young acolytes at the temple and occasionally performs missionary services to countries all across the world. Touho can most often be found tending to the poor, helping orphans, or helping deal with issues such as common banditry in between her duties at the Temple of Fūjin.

Name of Technique: Megumi no Fūjin [Grace of the Wind God]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: A
Range: Personal
Nature Type: Fūton
Symbols of Fūjin: 1

Description: By channelling a constant sphere of wind chakra around herself, Windspeaker Touho is able to levitate as if held aloft by currents of wind. She gains a sphere of influence around herself with which she can manipulate wind in myriad ways. The sphere extends six feet from Windspeaker Touho in any given direction. While within the Megumi no Fūjin, Windspeaker Touho is immune to all friendly Fūton techniques. Windspeaker Touho’s control over the wind is so proficient that she is able to essentially fly.

In addition, instead of performing handsigns, Windspeaker Touho is able to invoke symbols of Fūjin with simple movements that are not necessarily restricted to movement of the hands/arms.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Megumi no Fūjin: Kin'yoku no Michi [Grace of the Wind God: Path of the Ascetic]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Range: Within the Megumi no Fūjin
Nature Type: Fūton
Symbols of Fūjin: 2

Description: Windspeaker Touho causes the boundaries of the Megumi no Fūjin to intensify greatly after a delay of a second, causing it to deflect physical objects or projectiles without sufficient mass and speed (Standard bullets, for example, would be easily knocked aside due to their low mass) that come near it. By weaving currents of chakra through the wind, the sphere can also become impermeable to unfriendly chakra, but doing so requires intense focus that prevents the use of other techniques and movement.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Megumi no Fūjin: Hyōgi-kai no Ishi [Grace of the Wind God: Will of the Council]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: B
Range: Megumi no Fūjin
Nature Type: Fūton
Symbols of Fūjin: 2

Description: Windspeaker Touho creates innumerable blades of wind almost invisible to the naked eye within the confines of the Megumi no Fūjin. The blades cannot leave the sphere, but are so sharp and numerous that almost anything that comes into sustained contact with them will suffer immense damage. The blades can be condensed into single, visible blades that can be launched outwards from the Megumi no Fūjin at a significant reduction in power. The blades are shaped like crescent arcs, and despite their relatively reduced firepower they move very quickly and are difficult to avoid. The blades form after a delay of one second, and dissipate after ten seconds.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Megumi no Fūjin: Reitekina Yoroi [Grace of the Wind God: Spiritual Armour]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: A
Range: Personal
Nature Type: Fūton
Symbols of Fūjin: 5

Description: Windspeaker Touho condenses the Megumi no Fūjin, removing all access to its abilities except its levitation and flight, and coats herself in a thick veneer of wind. All physical projectiles without sufficient mass or velocity (Note: This effect is significantly stronger than that of the Megumi no Fūjin) that would come into contact with the armour are deflected, and Windspeaker Touho’s speed is vastly increased (she can move along the ground at a speed of between 50 to 70 feet per second). In addition, Windspeaker Touho’s taijutsu attacks become significantly more deadly, using the force of the wind surrounding her to lacerate the areas she hits subcutaneously. If she would hit an open wound, she is instead able to cause major damage to internal organs in the surrounding area.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Kaiko no Fūjin [Wind God’s Dismissal]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Range: Mid
Nature Type: Fūton
Symbols of Fūjin: 1

Description: Windspeaker Touho creates an incredible gust of wind in a single direction, buffeting anything it hits and sending them flying backwards if they do not have sufficient mass or are not sufficiently anchored. The gust persists for ten seconds, gradually decreasing in potency as it does so. If an object moves with the gust, its speed is dramatically increased. While Windspeaker Touho is within the Megumi no Fūjin, she is unaffected by the technique unless she chooses to be.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Seidō no Fūjin [Wind God’s Sanctuary]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: A
Range: Mid
Nature Type: Fūton
Symbols of Fūjin: N/A

Description: Windspeaker Touho creates a ring on the ground, up to fifty feet in diameter. The ring creates a stream of wind that physical objects and mana cannot pass through in either direction, allowing her to provide sanctuary to allies or isolate enemies. The wind only lasts for a maximum of sixty seconds. The Sanctuary must form over the course of three seconds.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Kamikaze no Fūjin: Ran’un [Wind God’s Divine Whirlwind: Storm Clouds]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Range: Long
Nature Type: Fūton
Symbols of Fūjin: 3

Description: Windspeaker Touho gathers immense amounts of Fūton chakra and unleashes the chakra in a constantly expanding sphere. The sphere will travel for fifty feet before dissipating, carrying any physical objects with insufficient mass or not rooted to the ground with it. As soon as the sphere dissipates, strong winds begin to gather in the area that disrupt movement and leave small lacerations in exposed skin.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Kamikaze no Fūjin: Arashi [Wind God’s Divine Whirlwind: Tempest]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Range: Long
Nature Type: Fūton
Symbols of Fūjin: 6

Description: Kamikaze no Fūjin: Arashi cannot be used until Kamikaze no Fūjin: Ran’un has been used.

Windspeaker Touho increases the intensity of the winds created by Ran’un, causing them to become strong enough to cause light cuts through leather armour and cut deeply into exposed flesh. The winds become strong enough that moving against their currents is nigh impossible without a significant amount of physical force, and the winds are so intense at the edges of the technique that physical objects may not enter or leave unless they have sufficient mass or velocity.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Kamikaze no Fūjin: Hayate [Wind God’s Divine Whirlwind: Hurricane]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Range: Long
Nature Type: Fūton
Symbols of Fūjin: 12

Description: Kamikaze no Fūjin: Hayate cannot be used until Kamikaze no Fūjin: Arashi has been used.

Windspeaker Touho brings the winds to their most intense level, strong enough to uproot old trees with ease and severely damage plate armour. The area of the technique doubles, and Windspeaker Touho has complete control over the direction of the winds at all times. By focusing on specific areas, Windspeaker Touho is able to manipulate the air pressure in order to achieve various effects, and is able to sharpen the winds to create gusts with the same cutting power as the Wind Release Slash.
Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Namida no Fūjin [Tears of the Wind God]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: B
Range: Medium-Long
Nature Type: Fūton
Symbols of Fūjin: 2

Description: Windspeaker Touho condenses Fūton chakra into orbs, roughly a foot in diameter, and hurls them. At any point along the path, or when the orbs reach a hundred feet away, they explode in a sphere of wind identical to Fūton: Atsugai at maximum power. Windspeaker Touho can only make two orbs per five minutes. The explosion created by the orbs can reach a maximum of a fifty foot radius. The orbs gain in power as they travel, starting as an explosion of twenty five feet and increasing to fifty as they travel to an upper limit of fifty feet away.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Ataishinai Handan [Judge Unworthy]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: B
Range: Short - Mid
Nature Type: Fūton/Hyōton
Symbols of Fūjin: 3

Description: Windspeaker Touho manipulates frigid currents of wind to surround a target, trapping them as if they were in the Suirō no Jutsu. Over time, the sheer cold of the wind will begin to induce frostbite in exposed flesh. The prison can only be maintained while it is within two feet of the Megumi no Fūjin, after which it dissipates immediately. The winds form over the course of two seconds, and dissipate if the target leaves a radius of ten feet away from Touho during this time.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Keibetsu no Fūjin [Wind God’s Contempt]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Range: Short - Mid
Nature Type: Fūton/Hyōton
Symbols of Fūjin: 1

Description: Windspeaker Touho creates a gust of wind imbued with Hyōton chakra, resulting in a freezing cold gale that can freeze any water or liquid of similar freezing point to water that it comes into contact with. The gale is extremely easy to control, but it cannot leave a fifty foot radius of Windspeaker Touho. The wind is strong enough to knock most standard projectiles off course.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Shidō tame Tangan [Plea for Guidance]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: B
Range: Short - Mid
Nature Type: Fūton/Hyōton
Symbols of Fūjin: 3

Description: Windspeaker Touho sends a freezing blast of extremely harsh wind in a direction (the area the wind covers is roughly ten feet wide) and maintains her pose as she does so, prolonging the freezing wind for as long as she maintains the pose. The wind is so cold that ice begins to crystallise on all physical objects caught within it for more than a few seconds, and after four seconds caught in the wind the target is encased in a block of solid ice.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Tenno Shimo no Hairetsu [Heavenly Array of Frost]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: B
Range: Short - Mid
Nature Type: Fūton/Hyōton
Symbols of Fūjin: 1

Description: Windspeaker Touho unleashes a fast, expanding sphere of wind from herself, knocking back all enemies without sufficient mass (this technique is strong enough to uproot trees and significantly damage structures). Additionally, the sphere leaves behind a thin veneer of frost chakra, causing any physical objects that pass through it to be coated in the chakra and frozen solid. Tenno Shimo no Hairetsu extinguishes almost all fire that it encounters (very powerful flames not included).
Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Hōfuku no Fūjin [Wind God’s Retribution]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu

Range: 100 feet
Nature Type: Fūton/Hyōton
Symbols of Fūjin: 10

Description: Touho manifests an immense symbol of Fūjin in the air in front of her, twenty feet high and twenty feet wide, made of fragile ice. When the symbol is broken, an immense volley of Hyōton chakra is released in a 100 foot radius sphere that creates an exceptionally durable sphere of ice that is hollow inside. The ice is almost completely impervious to flames and physical attacks.

While within the sphere, the body temperature of anybody not within the Megumi no Fūjin will begin to drop drastically, causing severe hypothermia after three minutes. Hyōton techniques within the sphere are twice as powerful as usual.

If the Kamikaze no Fūjin: Hayate is within the bounds of the technique as it created, the storm will encompass the entirety of the interior of the sphere of ice.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Akishimo no Gishiki [Rite of Frostfall]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: S
Range: Mid - Long
Nature Type: Fūton/Hyōton
Symbols of Fūjin: 10

Description: Windspeaker Touho prepares a vast amount of Hyōton and Fūton chakra, and unleashes an immense hailstorm in a three hundred foot radius around herself. The storm is so vicious and so cold that enemies with insufficient insulation will succumb to frostbite and hypothermia rapidly. The winds are not particularly strong, but if this technique and Kamikaze no Fūjin: Hayate are used simultaneously, the result is a storm so powerful that it threatens destruction on the scale of the Bijuu.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Totsuzen no Akishimo [Sudden Frostfall]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: A
Range: Personal - Short
Nature Type: Hyōton
Symbols of Fūjin: 6

Description: Windspeaker Touho emits a freezing ring of energy from her body up to twenty feet in range. Two seconds after the ring has passed through a physical object, it is completely coated in ice and begins to sink into a deep freeze. Totzusen no Akishimo will completely disable all machinery that it affects.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

【Personality】
Roku is an extremely focused individual. Despite her status as granddaughter of the Sankage, she does not typically mention it or use that status to her benefit.

【History】
Roku is the grandaughter of Ayameko by marriage, being the child of Ayameko's second husband's son.

Born during the war, Roku was pushed extremely hard to excel, should she be called upon to defend herself and her village once she came of age. Thankfully, the war was put to an end before her services would be needed, allowing her to spend time trying to catch the years she had lost with many of the other children born during that timeframe.

Roku's upbringing was mostly uneventful. Both of her parents survived the war and are active within the village and clan. She was granted the opportunity to train with both the Windspeakers and the Fire Monks, two groups of Spiritual Leaders within Kyokujitsu no Tochi mostly due to her status as Ayameko's granddaughter and Rin's wife-to-be.

Roku is currently engaged to Yūdai Rin, her childhood friend turned husband-to-be.



【Chakra Nature(s)】

Fuuton
Raiton

【Abilities and Special Traits】
Roku is a skilled close combat fighter. Coupled with her strong chakra control and almost prodigious skill in Fuuinjutsu and Jikūkan ninjutsu, which she uses to augment her taijutsu.



【Weapons, Tools and Equipment】

Name of Weapon or Item: Shitai (Four Noble Truths)
Description: The Shitai are four circlets that clasp around Roku's wrists and ankles, creating focusing bands for her chakra, providing her inhuman level control over her chakra. The purpose of the bands is to allow Roku to preform a fusion between the Hyuuga clan's taijutsu and more traditional arts. The Shitai are capable of utilizing a version of Hakkeshō Kaiten without having the user spin themselves, but it does not have the significant scope of the fully version of the technique and is limited to directly around her body.
Appearance: Silver circlets that are etched with ornate patterns.

Name of Kekkei Genkai: Byakugan
Clan: Hyuuga
Description: Grants the Byakugan.

*Hakke Shō techniques create a projection field that enhances the physical prowess and sensory capabilities of the user. Those within the field, which has a maximum range of 32 feet from the user, are easily tracked within the field of the users chakra. As such, this technique requires significant amount of control and focus. Inadvertently, this covers the Byakugan's blind spot.

**Roku's version of this technique only augments her reaction time and speed, but only to about a tenth of what the full technique can do.

【Custom Jutsu】
Name of Technique: Shukuchi [Reduced Earth]
Type of Jutsu: Jikūkan Ninjutsu
Rank: A
Range: Variable
Nature Type: N/A
Handseals: N/A
Description: This technique allows Roku to close distances in combat quite quickly. This technique is initiated by holding a pose for a moment. The longer the combat pose is held, the greater the distance Roku can transport herself.

Weakness: Must be within visual range of her Byakugan to be utilized. Can only transport the user forward.

Name of Technique: Senmon Haki [One Thousand Gates Breaking]
Type of Jutsu: Jikūkan Taijutsu
Rank: A
Range: 32 feet
Nature Type: N/A
Handseals: N/A
Description: Senmon Haki is Roku's 'ultimate' technique. By combining the principles of her Hakke Shō, Roku utilizes the field to strike an opponent from variable directions. Whenever Roku attacks an opponent, she is able to utilise the field to cause the force from the attack to project itself from any direction for as long as the distance left to travel to the opponent is entirely within the range of the field.

Weakness: While giving multiple points to strike from, Senmon Haki can only appear as close to an opponent as Roku is. The force is visible to the naked eye.

Name of Technique: Kado Kyōsei [Excessive Force]
Type of Jutsu: Taijutsu
Rank: B
Range: 16/32/64 feet
Nature Type: Fuuton
Handseals: N/A
Description: Similar to the Hakke Kūshō, Kado Kyōsei is a derivative of the Shokei Shimasu and Hakke Kūshō creating a taijutsu technique that can strike with force at fairly significant range depending on the amount of chakra expended. The force is only faintly visible and while the impact can knock someone off of their feet or slice the body depending on the desire of the user, it unfortunately will not apply any of the Gentle Fist effects. Creating slicing effects with this technique requires extra chakra or reduced range of the technique. Unlike Hakke Kūshō, this technique can be easily used in quick succession.

Weakness: Cannot be used to apply the effects of Gentle Fist.

Name of Technique: Raigō: Senmon Haki [Welcoming Approach: 1000 Gates Breaking]
Type of Jutsu: Taijutsu/Ninjutsu
Rank: B-S
Range: 64 feet
Nature Type: N/A
Handseals: N/A
Description: A technique derived from Raigō: Senjusatsu and her training at the Temple. Like the base technique, Roku creates a corporeal being around her with multiple arms, which at direction of her, can strike out at an opponent within its reach. Roku is currently unable to manifest all 1000 arms of the original technique. At maximum, Roku can manifest 100 arms by utilizing a significant sum of her chakra. Each arm can only strike once before it dissipates. This fists, however, do apply the Gentle Fist effects.

Weakness: One use per arm.

Name of Technique: Kusariken [Chain Fist]
Type of Jutsu: Jikūkan Taijutsu/Fuuinjutsu
Rank: B
Range: Physical Contact
Nature Type: N/A
Handseals: N/A
Description: When Roku makes contact with an opponent outside Kado Kyōsei, she is capable of marking an opponent. Any force generated by her other techniques allows her to transport the force of those blows to that same mark, consuming it.

Weakness: Requires initial contact.

Name of Technique: Kumo Atama [Head in the Clouds]
Type of Jutsu: Jikūkan Taijutsu/Jikūkan Ninjutsu
Rank: A
Range: Variable
Nature Type: Fuuton
Handseals: N/A
Description: Kumo Atama is Roku's second 'ultimate' technique. After successfully marking an opponent with her Kusariken, she instead transfers the mark below an opponent and utilizes a large burst of Fuuton chakra from the modified seal (this is done instantly), blasting an opponent upwards into the air where they are more vulnerable. She can then transport herself anywhere within the pillar of Wind once before the mark is completely consumed, allowing her to strike an opponent while in the air (typically downwards, into the ground).

Weakness: High chakra cost to lift an opponent up, depending on size, but still has a generally high cost. Requires previous contact with an opponent.

Name of Technique: Shokei Shimasu (Execute)
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: B
Range: Touch.
Nature Type: N/A

Description: More of a style than an actual jutsu, the Shokei Shimasu uses physical blows with an opponent to accomplish a few effects. By thrusting her own chakra in a jab once she has hit someone, she can push an equal amount of chakra out at the point she strikes (but cannot exceed the amount that could occur there - IE Blows to chakra centers are potentially more serious). The benefit of this technique is that Roku is able to combine it with other techniques to create a potent mix of effects. The second effect of this technique is Roku being able to 'explode' her chakra. Once inserted into a physical object, the chakra is converted into physical force and moves outwards from where it is. A touch to the neck, by Roku, could be considered especially dangerous. However, the Shokei Shimasu requires the secondary effect to be initiated nearly immediately (unless the person has very poor chakra control and/or a small pool) before the chakra is overwhelmed. The Shokei Shimasu requires a direct exchange of power for it to work. It cannot transfer its power to anything but direct contact from a source of power to the new medium. So, while someone could use the Shokei Shimasu to fire an arrow and have it create a crater from the force of the blow, it could not then be transferred to another person.

Weakness: N/A

Name of Technique: Jūho [Gentle Step]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: B
Range: Contact
Nature Type: Fuuton
Handseals: N/A
Description: Jūho temporarily allows Roku to 'walk' on the wind by expelling wind chakra from appropriate tenketsu. Unlike the flight technique, this does not provide sustained, consistent flight, but mostly a force to allow the user to 'step' off of or completely redirect themselves while in the air.

Weakness: N/A

Name of Technique: Shin Hakke Shō [True Eight Trigram Palms]
Type of Jutsu: Jikūkan Taijutsu/Jikūkan Ninjutsu
Rank: A
Range: Melee
Nature Type: N/A
Handseals: N/A
Description:Roku utilizes her chakra control to manifest extra blows within two feet of her initial strike. This technique is derived from the principles of her other techniques. The number of strikes is dependent on the amount of chakra she expends.

Weakness: Close range.

Nara Shiō


【Full Name】
Nara Shiō
【Alias】
Kage Gekai
【Occupation】
Head of Medical Corps (Iryō-tai), Head of Senkensha (Sensory Division)
【Gender】
Female
【Age】
23
【Sexuality】
Bisexual



【Birth Country】
Land of Fire
【Current Village】
Kyokujitsugakure
【Affiliation】
N/A
【Shinobi Rank】
Jounin



【Personality】
Shiō is intelligent, but often blames herself for things outside of her control. She does not accept failure well and will obsess over the failure until she reaches the conclusion that it was outside of her control - she still reviews two of her cases on a regular basis in order to figure out what she did wrong. She keeps meticulous records, having patient files far more expansive than many of her colleagues. She enjoys learning and wants to expand her knowledge into other realms of medicine.

Shiō's loyalty is to life and her village.

【History】
Shio knew what her goal in life was at the early age of 5, deciding then she would be a doctor.

With unwavering dedication, she pursued her interest in the medical field. With her sharp mind, she was able to accelerate much of her training and gain special privilege to work directly under Sankage Ayameko by the age of 14.

Shio's primary focus is neurology, with a secondary specialty in surgery. Her steady hands and fine chakra control lead her to develop a series of techniques that increased the survival rate of all surgical procedures across the board by 35%, all by the age of 18. This is her source of her nickname as the Shadow Surgeon, given her preference to work in pitch dark.

It was at the age of 18 she would meet Kinuko, who she would eventually marry after a month. The two had determined that they would be appropriately compatible companions for a long term and that to delay any longer would only delay the necessary step of creating an offspring to carry on their skills. As such, within another month they had worked with Ayameko to develop a technique to allow the two women to have a child. Of course, neither wanted to bear the pregnancy so that service was outsourced to one of Shiō's cousins. The child, a son they named Tokiko, would be born still before Shiō's 19th birthday. Once born, the child was primarily in the care of Shiō's grandparents who adored the child.

However, believing the child was being spoiled too much and was lacking life experience at the age of 6 months, they gave the child to a wandering monk with a sheep they had just met the day before to allow him to have real life experience. They keep in contact with the child via letters which they expect responses from, but are yet to receive, straining the relationship they have with their son.

Shiō would take over the Medical Division at the age of 21 and continues in that role.



【Chakra Nature(s)】

Raiton

【Abilities and Special Traits】
Shiō is a woman of many abilities. Exceptionally intelligent, with impeccable chakra control, Shiō's potential for growth is significant. She has a particular skill with Ninjutsu and exceptional sensory capabilities. While she does not currently practice the art of Genjutsu, she is capable of learning and preforming it well. She's necessarily agile, making her a difficult target, but lacks the raw speed of many of her Jounin counterparts. Additionally, she lacks any physical strength, making her entirely reliant on her other skills.

Shiō's knowledge of the human body, especially its nervous system, is immense. He teacher, Ayameko, was extremely skilled with genetics and herbalism, of which she has a fair amount of knowledge herself, with an expansive library of books on the subjects.

Shiō (and Kinuko) have received multiple awards for their parenting and are considered prime examples of great parents by the rest of the village - an often repeated phrase from people they interact with.



【Weapons, Tools and Equipment】

Shiō utilizes many standard items for a member of her clan, as well as a traditional shinobi. Her only unique weapons are the set of 10 Senbon that are capable of pinning a persons's shadow using Shadow Imitation Shuriken. She has a larger number of normal Senbon that are often utilized the poison an enemy if needed. Another unique item that she carries are small tubes of explosive powder.

Shiō also has a field medic kit. Additionally, she has a number of various herbal remedies, including some quick acting drugs to sedate a patient (or potentially an enemy), as well as some psychotropic drugs and paralytic toxins. Her most noted use of equipment is the generic weapon seal she placed on the back of her throat, which is capable of producing three things: short range cloud of poison that produces a fairly quick acting paralytic toxin. In small doses this will merely limited response times, but taking a breath in the cloud would result in paralysis after a few minutes, a series of poisoned senbon, and a smoke bomb like cloud to obscure an opponent's vision.

She also carries many standard shinobi supplies, such as explosive tags, flash and smoke bombs, wire, shuriken, and kunai.

【Custom Jutsu】

Name of Technique: Kage Yochi (Shadow Prediction)
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu (Hiden)
Rank: C
Range: N/A
Nature Type: N/A
Handsigns: N/A
Description: Kage Yochi was an unnamed technique developed by Shiō to allow her to see in the dark as if it were normally lit. Many operations were done at night, making medical triage in darkness a necessity. The technique was given the name by a patient who woke up startled after medical procedure and lunged at her with a kunai, which she subsequently avoided, even while tending to his leg wounds. Surprised she avoided the attack, he asked if she could see the future. She merely explained to him that she was trained not to get hit and that she could see in the pitch black.
Weakness: Offers nothing other than seeing in the dark. Drains chakra when activated.

Name of Technique: Jiko Yokusei (Self Restraint)
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: A
Range: Requires successful Shadow Imitation
Nature Type: N/A
Handsigns: 10
Description: Jiko Yokusei was developed by Shiō as an alternative to taking lethal force (slitting an opponent's throat after successful imitaiton) or significant mutilation (slicing off limbs) to restrain an enemy. By shaping the opponent's shadow into a seal, the technique creates a self perpetuated paralysis.
Weakness: Shaping the shadow into a seal takes time and precision, making it near impossible in combat with more than a singular individual. Additionally, the seal will fade the moment there is no chakra to maintain it or in instances of lighting shifts that would eliminate the original shadow (even if it would create a new one).

Name of Technique: Geka Shokuin (Surgical Staff)
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu (Hiden)
Rank: A
Range: Same as Shadow Sewing
Nature Type: N/A
Handsigns: N/A
Description: An advanced application of her clan's technique which allows her to use tendrils created by her Hiden as conduits for her medical techniques, such as chakra scalpels on the ends of them.
Weakness: Increased chakra cost for both aspects of the Hiden and medical techniques.

Name of Technique: Shimikomaseru (Instill)
Type of Jutsu: Fuuinjutsu/Ninjutsu (Hiden)
Rank: A
Range: Variable
Nature Type: N/A
Handsigns: N/A
Description: After inscribing the seal onto an object, the bearer can infuse the seal with their chakra, allowing them to utilize the seal as a gateway for their shadows, or in cases of extreme infusion of chakra, utilize the shadow of the inscribed object for Nara clan techniques. The usage of the technique is wide, but primarily utilized as a defensive procedure to ensure that the Nara clan member is in a position to defend his or her location by having extra shadows to utilize or less obvious angles of assault with their own shadow. These types of symbols are common within a Nara clan member's home, as well as the trees on the compound in Konoha.
Weakness: Requires significant planning and forethought to utilize. Useless from significant ranges without some kind of vision on a target.

Name of Technique: Chokkan (Intuition)
Type of Jutsu: Fuuinjutsu/Ninjutsu
Rank: A
Range: 5 miles for activation, sensory range after limited to capabilities of the individual
Nature Type: N/A
Handsigns: N/A
Description: After creating a seal onto an object, the user can create a visual link between the symbol and their minds. Visual and sensory capabilities can be utilized through the seal, making them more than a visual technique. However, only one seal can be utilized at a time, without losing complete vision in the near area. Additionally, as a passive, the seal will trigger when a chakra source comes within 200 feet of it, identifying the presence to the person that created the seal.
Weakness: Extremely high chakra cost to set up, requiring significant preparation beforehand.

Name of Technique: Saibō Sōzō (Cell Creation)
Type of Jutsu: Medical Ninjutsu (Hiden)
Rank: S
Range: Short
Nature Type: N/A
Handsigns: 2
Description: An extremely advanced application of the Mystical Palm developed over the years of research by Ayameko and Shiō, essentially allowing a well-trained medical shinobi the ability to create stem cells in varying quantities. An example application would be a severely damaged eye, allowing the cells to replace the damaged portion, restoring full sight. However, in the case of the eye, some portion of either eye would have to be intact, or a partial transplant received in order to regrow a patient's eye. In technical theory, it is possible for this technique to be utilize to regrow an organ or body part without a base sample, but would require laboratory testing and genetic sampling to ensure the organ is created properly - things that are impractical in combat triage situations. This technique can be applied to the regrowth of limbs or other such appendages as well, but require an even greater amount of time to be fully functional.
Weakness: Requires not only massive chakra from the medic-nin, but also constant chakra to sustain the cells as they transition to their new roll. In the cases of large cell creations, it can be weeks before a body part is considered fully functional.

Name of Technique: Shinkeishi
Type of Jutsu: Medical Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Range: Touch.
Nature Type: N/A
Description: Once contact is made, a burst of chakra will be inserted into the body. This will damage the nerve path ways along the strike's point. For example, if someone was struck with a Shinkeishi kick or punch, the point of striking will damage the nerves. One strike will make it harder for that part of the body to move for a bit (15 seconds or so), but if contact lasts for more than a ‘moment’, then the nerves can face more serious damage that would require a healer to be seen. Additionally, this is often used for medical procedures to numb pain.
Weakness: N/A

Name of Technique: Shukketsu (Bleeding)
Type of Jutsu: Iryō Kenjutsu (Medical Kenjutsu)
Rank: B
Range: Melee
Nature Type: N/A
Handseals: N/A
Description: It is a simple, yet highly dangerous technique that can even be applied to basic shinobi tools (tools naturally designed to contain chakra are more potent). Essentially, the technique prevents blood from coagulating along the lines of any stab or cut an opponent receives from the enhanced without finding aid of a medical shinobi. The technique also can work in reverse at short contact range, coagulating a wound within seconds. At increased chakra cost to both techniques, this can also be applied to chakra scalpels.
Weakness: Short range for more common uses can make it difficult to utilize. Circulation can be cut off at the higher parts of the wound, should it be lower on an appendage to prevent too rapid of bloodloss from the technique.
