I mean, fire jutsu are the most bland of all jutsu in Naruto. Even looking at these two jutsu there's nothing that really sets them apart because they're both just essentially 'I shoot fire at you lol'. If I condensed it like such and made it into a custom jutsu, you'd basically end up with EXACTLY the same thing with a different name and 'it's not Madara's jutsu' and that honestly seems like a waste of time for both of us, hence I kept them in. Also, now it takes two slots, shows off his proficiency in ninjutsu as he's meant to be a ninjutsu duelist, where as if I made it into one custom jutsu it'd be exactly the same thing and offer way less exposition because it'd not be an established jutsu. It just feels like, to me, it'd take away a lot of exposition if I made it into, say 'Sakana's fire bomb' or something dumb, ESPECIALLY if it'd be the same thing.
Kinda hard to make fire jutsu more interesting than 'lol fire shoots in ur face xD!' imho. I can change it - I just think it'd be more work both for you and me for relatively little gain.
As for the sealing - I wanted to show off his devotion to fate, which to me could be showed by having a seal that activates upon death - he's gonna die one day according to fate and he'll never know why, but at least with a seal like this, he'd take down someone with him.
And because of that it doesn't really offer much because I'd have to let him die for it to do anything at all and even then it'd be plot related - because nobody is gonna stand there and let their character get sucked up by some random seal.
I figured that with the way seals are relatively unexplained, it could've just been placed on him as Sakana has no knowledge or expertise in sealing techniques. Could've just hired someone to do it or asked a favor from someone. And if the activator is death, he doesn't even need to activate it himself, and thus needs no expertise.
However, that's with sealing techniques being so random and unexplained that we're left to fill it in on our own as opposed to having a relatively clear idea of how they work.
Squints You win this time... THIS TIME.. Accepted.

Appearance:
History: Kyo's father was killed by Seijuro Nandate during the Second Great War. At the time, his mother was pregnant with him just as the war was about to end. His father gave his mother very specific instructions for how to raise Kyo. Upon birth he was sent to Kumogakure to a pair of foster parents that knew his father very well.
His father's reasoning for sending him to Kumogakure was simple: he feared that the war would not end in time and the genocide that was committed against the Uchiha would extend to his son so that a new generation of Uchiha would not grow up to rise against Iwagakure. It turned out that the war ended just before Kyo was born, so he never knew of the tribulations his clan went through. Most of the Uchiha were killed during the Second Great War, many of them collected by Seijuro Nandate and had their eyes harvested.
Kyo grew up free of the constraints of war. In Kumogakure, no one knew of his Uchiha origins. His identity was not made known, so he was raised without special treatment. While things came easily to him, he was always made to work for his achievements in Kumogakure. It was here where he was trained by a man who eventually became the Raikage, and though he initially showed an affinity for Fire Release, the man insisted he learned to use Lightning Release techniques in Kumogakure. The Raikage taught him the secret Black Lightning technique of Kumogakure, and taught him their secrets.
When his Sharingan manifested itself he was told the truth by his foster parents and sensei, that he was here on the order of his father. Upon learning this he was sent back to Konohagakure to live with the remainder of his clan, where he learned that his mother died during childbirth.
This is where Kyo's descent into isolation grew exponentially. With his mother gone and having never known a true bond with his clan, he buried himself in his work as a ninja, but never grew close with any of his squad. He focused on training himself and was one of the brightest Genin of his generation. Konoha gladly accepted him back into the village with open arms and touted the prodigy of the Uchiha clan. His Fire Release techniques blossomed as the remaining members of his clan fostered his training.
Kyo was focused on nothing but himself, honing his skills until he progressed beyond his years. That is until he met Senna. She was able to see through his disguise and touch on the parts of himself that he never showed anyone. At first this angered him and he teased her as a result of it to hide his own insecurities. This never bothered Senna as she knew the nature of people all too well and could always see the reasons behind why people acted the way they did.
And so he grew to know her, and eventually opened up to her. And slowly the two grew fond of each other. They were paired in the same squad with a boy named Mitsuki who was always the loudmouth prankster of the group. While Kyo despised his presence at first and loathed his flirtatious demeanor toward Senna, he eventually grew to love the kid and treated him like a little brother. The three of them went on missions together, became close with one another, and grew to love one another.
Although Kyo had experienced loss, he had never known the pain of War thanks to his parents' generation. That was all soon to change when one day his longtime friend Mizuki went missing on a simple reconnaissance mission.
Personality: Kyo is a very meticulous Shinobi. Details do not escape him easily. His observance knows no bounds. Over the years he has grown outwardly cold, mastering the art of hiding his emotions from others as a true Shinobi does. However, to those whom he carefully selects he will reveal his true self to. He is caring and soft, only hardened by the world around him. Through the years his skin has thickened to the point that his patience is not easily broken by the mind games of others.
However underneath his cold exterior he cares deeply for those close to him, albeit he chooses those close friends carefully as he knows that everything in this world is temporary, and seldom does he find someone worth the pain. Kyo has known great loss in his life, and this has molded him into a very cautious person in all aspects of life.
Combat Style: Kyo's combat style is not all too complicated. He does not focus on a singular method of combat but rather chooses to often sit back and let his opponent make the first move. He will analyze their strengths and weaknesses and devise a strategy from there, choosing from his skill set to see which best suits the situation. Nature Release: Fire/Lightning
Jutsu List All basic academy techniques All D and C ranked Katon and Raiton techniques
Kuroi Kaminari - All of Kyo's Raiton techniques are used with his Black Lightning Raiju Tsuiga Kuroi Kaminari - Nagashi Jigokuzuki - At this time Kyo cannot use the one-finger nukite as he has not trained well enough with the technique yet Kuro Raiton no Yoroi - While Kyo has the chakra control and chakra reserves to use this technique for hours, his inexperience with the technique and lack of physical stamina prevents him from using it for more than five minutes per day. However, Kyo utilizes a Black Lightning form of the Lightning Release Armor which makes him look like a total badass
Jutsu Name: Jigokuchitai no Jutsu (Hellzone Technique) Jutsu Type: Nintaijutsu Rank: B Effective Range: 15m Nature Type: Raiton Description: Kyo strikes the ground either by smashing his fist into it or stomping on it. A surge of Black Lightning is released into the ground that destroys the earth and shocks anyone caught within it. This technique can be used instantly for a five meter version or charged for two seconds for the full effect. If charged for four seconds the range remains the same, but the devastation becomes much greater, destroying enough earth to make a massive hole in the ground. Drawbacks: Fuuton techniques. Strict range. Anything airborne is virtually unaffected. Requires his Raiton no Yoroi to be active.
Jutsu Name: Makaze Sennuki (Devil Storm Corkscrew) Jutsu Type: Nintaijutsu Rank: A Effective Range: Short-mid Nature Type: Raiton Description: Kyo pivots off one foot while leaping into the air, turning his body 540 degrees. During the spin his body becomes almost horizontal so that he brings down his back foot onto the opponent's body, commanding a generous following of Black Lightning down with him as he lands. Even if he misses, the danger of this technique lies in the amount of lightning brought down with him. Ten meters from where his kick lands outwards is struck by a blade of Black Lightning that cleaves through the earth, leaving a several meter deep scar in the ground. Drawbacks: The user is left vulnerable during the spin not once, but twice as they must perform a full spin in the air and land with their back turned to their opponent. While dangerous for the user, the speed at which this technique is performed means that the he opponent must be observant enough to take advantage of this, and to find this weakness the first time the technique is used and to take advantage of it would be impressive.
Jutsu Name: Rising Dragon Thunder (Hiryuu Ikazuchi) Jutsu Type: Nintaijutsu Rank: A Effective Range: Short-mid Nature Type: Raiton Description: Kyo throws his hips in a circle while leaping into the air and performs a 720 degree spin while kicking at the opponent three times, going from low to mid to high. If the first kick lands, it is fast enough to break their knees. The second kick aims for the midsection while the Third goes straight for the head, and the centripetal force generated by the third kick is enough to break the victim's neck. BUT WAIT THERES MORE. The deadliness of this technique comes not from the three kicks, but the absolute shitstorm of lightning they bring with them. Upon swinging his legs in a kicking motion the sharp strikes he utilizes produce blades of lightning all around his body in a hurricane of Black Lightning that cut all of those around him. The blades twist and churn for about ten meters around him and weaken as they extend past 3m but can still pierce skin and most armor at the 7m mark. Landing on the ground after using this technique destroys the earth around him for several meters. Drawbacks: Like with the Corkscrew, his back is turned not once but twice during this technique. There is a small window during each spin to take advantage of, however one would also need a workaround for the spinning lightning. The main drawback is at the moment Kyo becomes fatigued and must temporarily deactivate his Raiton no Yoroi for thirty seconds after using this technique.
Weaponry: The seals on Kyo's wrists contain numerous shuriken, kunai, explosive tags and senbon. The each also are able to summon a sword to either hand, the swords specially made from chakra hardened steel which are made to channel chakra fluidly through the sword.
Miscellaneous: Kyo is considered an honorary brotha due to his time in Kumogakure.
【Village】 Konohagakure 【Birthplace】 Sunagakure 【Alignment/Affiliation/Organization】 True Neutral 【Clan/Bloodline】 Ichimi Clan 【Rank】 Chunin, B Rank 【Chakra Nature】 Fūton 【Appearance/Wardrobe】 Shizuka wears a flagrant red track suit. The very traditional and amongst the most popular fashion statements in young teens his age, but not of those who possess the ability to become ninja. However Shizuka prefers them to the traditional battle tested attire. The garments are a bright red with the double white lines running down from his shoulders to the bottom cuffs of his pant legs. The tracksuit itself is made of 100% cotton as Shizuka wants nothing but the best in the comfort department and cherishes the feel on his soft skin. He mostly wears the jacket a quarter of the way zipped from the bottom as to reveal his chest and matching 100% cotton white tee. Aside from his clothes he has cutting edge new wave sandals, instead of the high-top blue sandals, Shizuka has low top red sandals made of velvet material with white band (Seen here) Aside from his clothes he has a katana and sheathe on his back in between his track jacket and shirt. Shizuka is a modest 5 ft 10 inches and a solid 140 pounds in muscle where he attracts the ladies with. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 【Personality】 What some people might mistake for arrogance upon first meeting Shizukais quite actually the opposite. Shizuka is a free spirit always looking for the next challenge or adventure, he cannot stay in one place for far too long before becoming cripplingly bored. This of course carries into his social interactions in fights as he grows quickly bored with people or enemies in fights and is blunt about it regardless of the consequences. This brutal honesty is in such rarity these days that people have yet to cope with this maverick. Shizuka is that of a cool breeze, he blows in with his high spirited rambunctious attitude and shakes things up and spreads his quirky lively aura with whomever he is with. When you learn how to cooperate with Shizuka his attitude becomes a very contagious drug alleviating the stresses in the world for if only a moment.
Besides his carefree and high spirited attitude, when it comes down to it and time to get serious, Shizuka can surface some welcomed additions to his personality. While maintaining his usual composure, Shizuka is passively very intuitive and always studying and perceiving those around him. This was instilled in him when he was very young; knowledge is the key to strength and understanding, you must always grow. If a fight or something of the sort captures his attention his boredom withers and his lust for growth and experience takes over allowing him to become quite serious and frightening. He will strive to learn during his battles to better adapt to future situations, stashing away notes in his mental palace. Making him quite a formidable opponent. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 【History】 There’s not much to Shizuka’s life, there’s no unexpected twists and turns, any real tragedy or loss, nor is there any coming of age story or child born from sin. This is as normal of a shinobi story you will mostly likely ever read in your spare time. Shizuka’s life began in Sungakure, from his two loving parents. His father had been a very powerful member of the Land of Iron. Shizuka’s father, Genji, had been the General of the Land of Iron and known as “The Snarling Wolf” and portrayed to be one of the head of the mountains the country was founded on. While the Samurai were very idealistic and spiritual and believed in a firm belief of neutrality, Genji knew that they would eventually have to branch out and seek relations with this Symbol of Peace that was taking the war by storm.
Genji and his samurai forces aligned with the Shinobi Alliance and fought alongside the Fifth Hokage entering Sunagakure and dispatching the final armaments before declaring an end to the war and the surrender of the village. However as the war was over and the final negotiations were taking place, Genji couldn’t help but catch the eye of a beautiful young kunoichi that was part of the Kazekage’s personal guard. Smitten and entranced by her beauty, the wolf couldn’t look away and leave empty handed, he knew she would be his wife and the queen of the pack. Akemi was her name and beautiful she was, her hair was a beautiful auburn color and her eyes flickered with red warmth, a red so beautiful one might mistake it for a doujutsu. Regardless she was renown as the most adept Fūton user in all of Sunagakure and quite possibly all of the shinobi world.
Anyway Genji’s efforts were not in vain for Akemi fell for his strict morals and warriors code. The two would soon spend the rest of their days intertwined. Genji of course had stepped down from being General of the Land of iron and promoted his senior officer. His name of course etched in the annals of history as they returned to a policy of neutrality. The remainder of the couple’s days were spent in Sunagakure where they gave birth to Shizuka. Shizuka was a very lively baby who, thanks to the genetics of his parents, quickly discovered his ability to use chakra at a rather young age. Like most of his soon to be prodigal peers Shizuka had grown better with each year that passed. Eventually Shizuka would go onto master Fūton thanks to his mother and learning the fine art of Kenjutsu from his father. He had adopted both of his parents vices and practices.
His father gave him the Samurai’s idealistic sense and spiritualty along with the ability to stay calm and level headed amidst battle. From his mother he learned Fūton, but quite possibly her greatest gift, her free and uplifting personality. When his parents had felt as though they taught him all he could learn for now they challenged him with the task of venturing to Konohagakure and learning all he could from the clans and leaders there, especially the Hokage since his father was once a close ally. Yet for his father Konohagakure wasn’t his son’s final goal, once he was finished in Konoha and a certified Jonin he was to travel to Iwagakure to train with his mother in furthering his Fūton capabilities and likewise he would travel to Tetsu no Kuni to hone his art in kenjutsu. And so with that the whole family parted and went their separate ways.
Four years has passed and Shizuka is now a very honed and destructive ninja, however he far rather prefers the flow of world and learning than that of fighting. He is now 17 and eager and brimming with confidence and excitement on what adventures the Jonin exam will bring him and the bonds he will forge on the way. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 【Special Traits】 Excellent Ninjutsu Intermediate Kenjustu Large Chakra Pool Refined Chakra Control Can say Chubby Bunny with 15 Marshmallows in his mouth -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 【Equipment/Weapons/Items】 Name of Weapon or Item: Okami Sasayaki (Wolf’s Whisper) Description: A sword passed down from his father that was forged by the steel and cold winds of the Land of Iron. Named after monikers of his parents this sword has been infused with properties from both parents. The sword, like most that samurai use, can be infused with chakra to increase its cutting power. It is also has tiny circle shaped holes along the top of the blade in order to decrease air resistance and drag, but also allowing Shizuka to channel and used Wind release based jutsu from the sword itself cancelling the requirement of using hand seals on basic jutsu, of course more chakra is expended for large scale attacks. Appearance:
(Just with a Black blade and small circle fashioned wholes along the top of the blade.)
【Kekkei Genkai 】 Name of Kekkei Genkai: Sansoton (Oxygen Release) Clan: Ichimi Rank S+ (Can only use to a potency of B rank for now) Description: With the mastery over the element of Wind and the manipulation that comes with it, Shizuka’s clan manifested a genetic alteration in their line of ancestry which amassed into a Fūton based Kekkei Genkai. With the birth of Oxygen release this very small and Nobel clan has passed down the ability to manipulate and create oxygen. With this the user can create, shape and manipulate oxygen (colorless, odorless, and highly reactive) which is required for nearly all forms of combustion and most respiration including animals and plants. Much like Fūton, sansoton can create constructs and attacks from oxygen itself, infusing normal wind based attacks with oxygen to create a new effect to the original parent jutsu. ------------------------------------------------------- Jutsu:
Name of Technique: Sanso: Heiko (Oxygen Release: Sense) Type of Jutsu: Sensory Rank: D-S (Current is D-B) Range: 5-10 Meters Nature Type: Fūton/Sansoton Description: This is a passive ability learned by Shizuka. Using the power of Fūton and Sansoton, Shizuka is able to perceive and sense air currents, thus enabling him to detect changes and disturbances in the air. This can enable the user to sense incoming attacks and respond accordingly. Weakness: At his current state the range of his sense does not exceed 10 meters so an attack from further range can be undetected. He can also not detect changes if the attack or disturbance is higher than B rank.
Name of Technique: Fūton: Haiso (Wind Release: Flight) Type of Jutsu: Supplementary Rank: D-S (Current is D-B) Range: N/A Nature Type: Fūton Description: Shizuka is able to manipulate the wind to give him the ability to fly. While this gives him an advantage over slower ground based opponents, he can only fly as fast as the wind can take him. However, Shizuka is able to adeptly move around while in flight. Weakeness: As stated.
Name of Technique: Fūton: Tatsumaki (Wind Release: Tornado) Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu Rank: D-S (Current is D-B) Range: 1-15 meters Nature Type: Fūton Description: After studying the nature of storms and their effect on the environment when he was young, Shizuka became a storm chaser and followed any and all disasters in wonderment. After years of practice Shizuka was able to recreate and produce his own form of natural disasters. Shizuka focus enough chakra and using the proper hand seals can amass a large tornado that varies on size and strength depending the amount of chakra poured into giving it life. Not only can he create one, but he create multiple tornados which in turn increase the pull and misdirection if they travel adjacent to each other. Shizuka can also create a singular tornado from his katana by spinning his blade continuously and kneading chakra through it along with air collecting through the rings of the blade. The blade can then either release the tornado where it will bear life and grow vertically or he may keep it on the blade enhancing the power and defensive capabilities. Should the target dodge, the force of the wind would knock them back, if not wound them and it can be used as a shield against point-black attacks. Weakeness: Strength and potency is dictated by chakra consumption.
Name of Technique: Fūton: Kennai (Wind Release: Sphere) Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu Rank: D-S (Current is D-B) Range: 1-5 meters Nature Type: Fūton Description: Within his four years of living within Konoha, Shizuka had taken it upon himself to study each of the inhabitants of the Leaf on word from the Hokage. One clan he studied the most was the Hyuuga clan, mostly the main branch as they seemed most exposed to gentle fist training. Unable to use the gentle fist, Shizuka had created his own form of the Hakkeshō Kaiten. Unlike the Hakkeshō Kaiten, Shizuka uses his mastery over Fūton to incorporate air pressure and wind velocity. Instead of releasing chakra from every tenketsu and spinning, Shizuka jumps up and curls into a ball to create and surrounds himself in a ball of revolving air. The ball of air spins at great speeds and compact with highly condensed air thus deflecting attacks and ripping to shreds any organic manner that comes into contact that is not reinforced. If he is unable to jump he can create the same ball but a weaker and more spread out version. Weakeness: Depends on which form of ball he uses and chakra expenditure.
Name of Technique: Sansoton: Nensho (Oxygen Release: Combustion) Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu Rank: D-S (Currently A rank) Range: 1-20 meters Nature Type: Sansoton Description: Using his Kekkei Genkai, Shizuka can increase the kinetic of atoms and molecules causing them to ignite. This process creates heat and light, that user can use. In other words he can manipulate the concentration of oxygen in the air. Since oxygen cab become an oxidizing agent it can react volatile with hydrogen and ignite. When attacking Shizuka raises the density of the oxygen surrounding his target to a level at which it becomes volatile and creates narrow pathways of oxygen between himself and his target through which he can direct the ensuing flash fire all with a snap of the fingers. Shizuka can either create large explosive attacks, or smaller, but stronger and very accurate pinpoint flame attacks. Weakeness: The pinpoint flames take immense concentration and chakra control/expenditure. He must wait 30 seconds before using the ability consecutively and 1 min in between small and large explosions.
Name of Technique: Tsukaeru Odotai (Zodical Pressure) Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu Rank: D-S (Current is A) Range: 5-20 meters Nature Type: Fūton/Sansoton Description: Continuing with his studies of Konohagakures top ninja elite, Shizuka had stumbled across the rare but deadly users of taijutsu who seemed to be skilled in only one facet. Impressed with the teaching of the 8 gates he learned of inner working of each gate and the corresponding effects on the body and attack that came with each gate. One ability stuck out in particular, Hirudora. Fascinated with the idea Shizuka created his own variation of the ability. Similar to Hirudora, Shizuka compresses and creates a large amount of air pressure by creating a vacuum in his hand which quickly saps the air around his hands. Now because his technique is named after the zodiac, he can change the handseal into any animal and thus forming variable animals of different size, length, and maneuverability. This launches the air pressure at the opponent in the shape of the zodiac animal into the initially built-up air pressure with the hand seal. The air pressure will condense as its moving and be focused into a single point. The technique then explodes with a snap of the fingers as in his combustion technique, releasing the built up air pressure in an instant. Weakeness: Unlike the actual Hirudora this iteration can only create animals proportionate to the size of the user, with that being said the explosions are a far smaller magnitude due to size. The time allowed to generate wind is also protonate to the damage and size.
Name of Technique: Sansoton: Seishitsu (Oxygen Release: Room) Type of Jutsu: Rank: D-S (Current is D-B) Range: 5 x5 meters (current) Nature Type: Sansoton/ Fūton Description: This ability is quite simple in concept. Shizuka weaves hand seals and creates a visible barrier like box out of reinforced Fūton that is constantly rotating to create a strong but pregnable defense. While holding one hand seal, Shizuka begins to dissipate and remove the oxygen from the room. The walls inside are impregnable and the technique can only be broken by disrupting the hand sign, however the outside walls can be penetrated by anyone from outside strong enough to match the rank of the room. The jutsu takes about 5 minutes before all the oxygen is depleted and the opponent is left incapacitated but the side effects will begin within 3 minutes. Lower ranks of this ability create small barrier like ‘rooms’ and can extinguish the flame of weaker flame based jutsu. Weakeness: Weakness stated above. Full sized room depletes chakra quickly.
Name of Technique: Sansoton: Ozon (Oxygen Release: Ozone) Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu Rank: D-S (Current is D-B) Range: N/A Nature Type: Sansoton Description: Utilizing his Kekkei Genkai, Shizuka can take the base O2 molecule and incorporate an extra oxygen molecule forming O3. O3 also known as ozone is a pale blue gas with a distinct pungent smell akin to chlorine. While it is an incredible shield for harmful UV Rays and can protect Shizuka from said possibilities its real power lies in the effects it has on the human respiratory system. Shizuka implements ozone in either his Room jutsu or by creating a small moving cloud. When inhaled, ozone can damage the lungs. Relatively low amounts can cause chest pain, coughing, shortness of breath and throat irritation. Long term exposure to ozone may lead to permanent scarring of lung tissue, loss of lung function and reduced lung elasticity. Weakeness: Depending on the length and contact the opponent has the more prominent the effects are. Rank also dictates how fast it is produced, the speed and size of the cloud, and how fast the effects ail the opponent.
【Full Name】 Kaba Joukaku 【Nickname/Alias】 The Wall 【Gender】 Male 【Age】 18 【Age Appearance】 Late Teens-Early 20s 【Sexuality】 Heterosexual
【Village】 Konoha 【Birthplace】 Konoha
【Clan/Bloodline】 Joukaka Clan - The Joukaka Clan is a lesser known small clan located in Konohagakure. They are known for their boastful/prideful attitudes. The clan specializes in Barrier Ninjutsu. Kouba is next in line to head the clan after his grandfather.
【Rank】 Chunin
【Chakra Nature】 Fire, Lightning
【Appearance/Wardrobe】 Refer to images above. The first photo serves as his facial appearance, and the second photo represents his normal clothing. In warmer weather Kaba wears dark colored shorts instead of pants, and a thin sleeveless hoodie. Kaba stands roughly 6'1 (1.8 m) tall and weighs about 190 lbs (86kg).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 【Personality】 Kaba's personality is unique as he has two different 'sides'. These two sides are in constant conflict with each other and often causes Kaba to question who he really is. On one side, he's generally goofy and good-natured. He shows kindness to most, and displays a willingness to make his companions smile. He can often be clumsy and zone out more than he would like. Kaba has a very low attention span that results in him having trouble finishing things he starts. On the other side Kaba's personality and mood can become very dark. He will oft show a lack of empathy or compassion to those around him when his mood shifts. He becomes lost in his own unmanageable, twisted thoughts. He could be described as cold and merciless. This change only occurs usually when he feels bothered or insulted. During this time, Kaba usually attempts to alienate himself as it seems like the only way he can return to what he considers 'normal'. Truthfully, he doesn't know which of his personas is the norm for himself yet. In battle, Kaba is very prideful and cunning. He cannot stand the thought of losing at anything and attempts to always keep pace with his opponents. When he makes mistakes, Kaba will not always own up to his shortcomings and make excuses for himself. Sometimes he can become very complacent until given a reason to improve. Kaba would much rather eat barbeque and chase women than train, but when he does train he does so with the goal to be better than the man next to him. He can also be seen as quite immature for his age. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 【History】 Kaba's was born and raised in Konoha. He doesn't remember anything about his parents, as they both passed away while he was an infant. His grandfather, who primarily raised him, only gave him vague details surrounding his parents' deaths. Outside of what he was told by his grandfather, he has heard many rumors that his mother had gone mad shortly after Kaba's birth and killed Kaba's father and then herself. Kaba, scared to learn the truth has never asked much about it. As a young child, Kaba craved attention, and would often cause trouble to keep his friends entertained. As he grew older he began distancing himself more and more from crowds, and only voluntarily hung around a select few. At a young age Kaba admired the different shinobi he would encounter, and would seek to learn from his grandfather who was very skilled himself. Kaba displayed a natural talent and quickly fell in love with the thought of becoming a renowned shinobi. Unfortunately his grandfather at the time was extremely stern with his training, and would frequently resort to physical abuse when he felt Kaba was slacking off. This is something Kaba never shared with anyone as a child, and he aspires to prove to his grandfather that he is a worthy shinobi capable of leading the clan. Although, due to the abuse, there is a part of Kaba that would like to retaliate against his own grandfather for what he did to him. Presently, the desire to seek revenge for the hell he endured grows each day. Kaba tries his best to suppress these feelings, but he knows that he will soon have to face them. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 【Equipment/Weapons/Items】 Generic Shinobi Equipment Description: Kaba carries only the general tools/equipment a shinobi would possess (kunai, shuriken, explosive tags, smoke bombs) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Special Traits: Excellent Ninjutsu, Keen Eye(Long Range Combat), Good Taijutsu, Expert Chakra Control -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jutsu:
Name of Technique: Barrier: Sudden Defense Type of Jutsu: Fuinjutsu Rank: D Range: Short Nature Type: Description: This is a very simple, yet flexible and useful technique in where the user will form a single sided barrier(basically a shield) made completely of chakra. Although it is single sided, the barrier can be manipulated into a different shape such as a dome. This technique requires no hand seals to execute and Kaba can currently create up to two barriers at a time. The barrier created is all dependent on the user's chakra output. Kaba has mastered this technique to where he can make barriers of different shapes, sizes, and strength. The stronger and larger the barrier, the more chakra needed to form the barrier. The barrier can be broken so long as the attack is stronger than the barrier made. This is Kaba's main technique and his specific manipulation abilities are as follows: Barrier: Sudden Defense Animation - Kaba can control created barriers using hand movements, he can make the barriers float or move them up to 50 yards from himself. Barrier: Sudden Defense Assault - Kaba can manipulate the form of a barrier and use it as a weapon. Coinciding this sub-technique with Sudden Defense Animation allows him to launch projectiles at enemies as well. Fire Release Barrier: Sun - Kaba creates a superheated barrier that can cause up to 2nd degree burns if contacted with. Can be used with Sudden Defense Assault. Can abosrb lower ranking Fire Release ninjutsu to increase power. Expends more chakra than regular barrier. Can be nullified and weakened by Water Release Jutsu. Fire Release Barrier: Mine - Kaba creates a barrier that will cause a fiery explosion upon physical contact. The size of the explosion depends entirely on the size of the barrier. Can be used with Sudden Defense Assault. Expends more chakra than regular barrier. (see above caveats) Lightning Release Barrier: Fence - Kaba creates a barrier that will cause electrocution upon impact. The severity of the electrocution depends on the amount of chakra used to create the barrier. Can be used with Sudden Defense Assault. Can absorb lower ranking Lightning Release ninjutsu to increase power. Cannot be breached by Lightning Release jutsu. Expends more chakra than regular barrier. Can be breached easily by Wind Release jutsu. Barrier: Encompass - Kaba creates a barrier and conforms it to tightly cover the entire outer surface of his body. This can be combined with Lightning Release Barrier: Fence and Fire Release Barrier: Mine/Sun. This variation of the technique can be used to strengthened taijutsu attacks by forming hardened barriers around hands or legs, which can easily result in broken bones for an unguarded target. It does not slow the user down. Weakness: This technique has a cooldown that is entirely dependent on the amount of chakra used. Barrier strength can be categorized by ranks. At Kaba's current level D-C ranked barriers have a very small cooldown period of 5 seconds. B ranked barriers have a cooldown period of 30 seconds, while A rank barrier have a cool down period of 5 minutes. Currently, Kaba cannot create barriers stronger than A rank. Also, the creation of A rank barriers is currently very taxing for Kaba. He can only create 3-4 in a battle scenario.
Name of Technique: Expanding Barrier of the Abyss Type of Jutsu: Fuinjutsu Rank: B Range: Short-Mid Nature Type: None Description: After performing the correct hand seals, the user creates a small barrier cube in which they can toss towards an enemy. This cube can travel up to 15 yards and is controlled even in mid-air using a single hand seal after being thrown. Once the foe is in range the user will 'activate' the mini barrier and it will immediately expand up to 10 yards all around. During the moment of activation, the walls of the barrier will engulf whoever it comes into contact with, effectively trapping them inside. The walls of the barrier completely prevent any light from infiltrating, making anyone inside unable to see anything but darkness unless they possess a special doujutsu ability or the ability to create light. Sensing ninjutsu will also work inside this barrier. Weakness: This barrier can be weakened with any B ranked technique, and completely broken with an A ranked technique. Kaba can only keep it up for a total of 3 minutes. The technique will also auto-fail if not activated within 15 seconds of being thrown.
Name of Technique: Barrier: Filtration Type of Jutsu: Fuinjutsu Rank: A Range: - Nature Type: None Description: This technique is simple in concept, yet extremely useful. The user creates a barrier within themselves. This barrier is harmless to the user, and it's ultimate purpose is to filter any foreign substances from entering and harming the user. It doesn't protect from wounds such as stabbings or burns, but protects against dangerous toxins, inhalants, and can even allow the user to store oxygen to stay underwater for extended periods of time. This technique does not reverse anything that has already entered the user's body, and it continually drains chakra when in use, making it dangerous to keep active.
Name of Technique: Secret Seal Technique: Safeguard Type of Jutsu: Fuinjutsu Rank: A Range: Short Nature Type: None Description: This technique is not exactly one used for combat, but more for safeguarding or safekeeping. The user places a seal on a certain person or object. This seal is automatically activated when the the target area/object is in harm or danger. Kaba cannot place this seal on himself. It has various uses but was mainly developed to protect fallen allies. It can also be used to prevent certain objects from being stolen or even certain buildings from being entered by those not authorized by the creator of the seal. Once triggered, a near impenetrable barrier will immediately appear to protect the subject. This seal can only be removed by the original user or someone proficient in applying/removing seals. Even if the original user were to lose their life, the seal would remain intact unless broken.
Name: Nazomeku, Kazayatsu. Nickname/Alias: Yatsu/Kuroyaju(Black Beast). Gender: Male. Age: 33. Age Appearance: Late twenties. Sexuality: Heterosexual.
Village: Iwagakure. Birthplace: Unknown.
Organization: N/A.
Rank: A. Position: Elite Jounin. Chakra Nature: Yōton(Fire+Earth).
Additional Appearance Details: Yatsu is 5'9 and weighs about 180 lbs. Beneath his clothes he is well muscled, but not at all grotesque. There are burn scars along his forearms from when he was not yet a master of his affinity.
History: Unsure, will attempt to figure out.
Hailing from a little known clan with little in the way of affiliation or alliances, Kazayatsu was one of several children raised by the entire clan as was their custom. Though the Great War raged on during his youth he was largely ignorant to it despite the training he and his relatives endured in their youth. It was not until the age of 10, when he had distinguished himself from his peers, that the war truly became real to him.
A raid came upon their compound in the night and, despite his training, he could do little against the adult shinobi. Nonetheless there were few casualties, for mostly supplies had been taken. Sadly, Kazayatsu was not a boy with good luck, so he was one of those few who lost someone that day. With no time for a funeral for the dead, the clan picked up camp, in hopes of finding somewhere more secluded where the war would touch them less. In the wake of this, Kazayatsu had little time to grieve his mother.
Thrown into an even harsher training regimen, Kazayatsu and the entirety of the youth population were turned into child weapons, and though the clan wished to flee the terrible conflicts of war, they were indeed used as such. Raiders, battlefields, bandits, and passing armies terrorized their clan, but they stood steadfast and kept on, with Kazayatsu, the adults, and the other kids defending them as they moved. It was hell, seeing his friends and those he looked up to falling like flies around him, even with the strange morals that his clan taught it just...seemed terrible. Still, while the everyday grind was one thing, the Battle of Black Forest was another. Passing through the territory of the Land of Fire their troupe was ambushed in a forest by a group of mercenaries looking for supplies, soldiers, and women.
Taken off guard, the clan was hardly prepared for the strike and many fell even in the initial struggle. Many died that night, and many more would as the sun rose above the trees. With shinobi left and right, killing and attempting to capture those he loved, something snapped in Kazayatsu and it was like a door opened to Hell itself. Cornered by a group of eight shinobi in a thick copse away from the rest of the fighting, what the adults saw as a thirteen year old child became a demon, fire and ash rolling off his form to consume everything. The shinobi, having one water release shinobi, lasted longer than most might, but Kazayatsu's newly awakened Kekkei Genkai, and rage won out. He left that copse burning, and the forest burned with it. Wherever he went, their enemies died and while he perhaps saved his clan, they did not respect him for it, they feared him.
Treated as a pariah from that point onwards, Kazayatsu was chained up, seals placed on his body to prevent his use of chakra. Whenever fighting needed doing he was released on their enemies. The number of people he killed piling up as the months swept by. People stopped calling him his name and started calling him Kuroyaju: The Black Beast. This continued until his clan found a secluded, defensible position, where they still live to this day. Of course, while the fighting stopped soon after that, the Great War coming to a close, his strife did not, for the clan no long had any use for him and so cast him from their ranks.
Wandering for many days and scrounging up whatever food he could, Kazayatsu eventually made it to a small village in the Land of Stone, beaten, half out of his mind, and starving. He passed out at the edge of the village.
When he woke up a day later he did so in a small cottage in town where Sukui, an old widow, had taken him in. Sukui took care of him, nursing him back to health, treating him like her own child. He grew to care about her, and she about him. Things were good for a time, what with peace having fallen over the lands, and with him no longer fighting for his clan's survival.
Still, as he grew up, dealing with the traumas of war, abandonment, and being treated like a monster rather than a person for so long he became discontented with life. Eventually, when he was only 16 he bid Sukui thanks, and departed, leaving with her all the money he had saved over their time together.
Striking out on his own, Yatsu took to mercenary work, using his old skills to do the dirty work of others. When he had saved enough he started changing his practices, taking jobs, only to fail or both them entirely at the expense of those who would use violence to attain what they desired. It was the folly of a young man, but it helped. As time dragged on he eventually came to grow past the horrors of his childhood, with the beauty of the world and some of the people in it becoming the things he truly cared about. At the age of 19 he had found his way to Iwagakure, where after a long period, he became an official shinobi of the village. While work dwindled for people of his profession, he kept things up, helping the community however he could in addition to protecting it whenever he had the chance.
He became well known in Iwagakure for his thoughtfulness, good humor, and dedication to the people not to mention his ability to drink most under the table.
During this time the Tsuchikage had been keeping a close eye on the outsider, and as his age slowly caught up to him he decided to take Kazayatsu under his wing. However, he did so privately so as not to sway the people as the reality was that he was training several younger shinobi to take his seat when he was gone. Yatsu took to the elder's teachings as if he'd been born to them, eager due to the man's accepting and open nature. The months passed and the Tsuchikage's age truly took hold, eventually driving him to hold a series of tests in which the next Tsuchikage would be chosen.
The eight disciples, including Kazayatsu, took part, along with eight others. Out of the ten tests, Kazayatsu lost only one, and it was the combat stage. So it was, that day, that he was given the title of Tsuchikage elect. In the coming months he was acclimated to the position of leadership with the Tsuchikage looking over his shoulder to make sure all was well. Finally, when he felt that Kazayatsu was ready, he rested...and on that night he passed away quietly in his sleep. The next day was one of grieving for Iwagakure and no one was more sad than Yatsu, who even cried as he gave his speech at the late Tsuchikage's funeral.
However, as the sun rose on the next day preparations were made for his rise to the position of Kage. So it was that two days after his mentor's funeral, Kazayatsu became the Tsuchikage. That was seven years ago and since then Yatsu has become even more adored by the citizens for the most part.
Yet, beneath the surface something lurks, for no man is always as good as he says he is...and Kazayatsu is no exception. The question is, what exactly is he hiding beneath all that kindness and whimsy?
What indeed.
Personality: Kazayatsu, or Yatsu as he prefers, is an intelligent man with an appreciation for the finer things. Travel, art, beautiful women, theater, tea, and to a more limited extent, alcohol are the things that he lives for, preferring to just let himself coast down the highway of life. Yet he remains a man with dual nature who takes great pleasure in truly testing his mettle against those of equal strength or mind, preferably both. Though, oddly, he prefers to do so through games or intellectual jousting, rather than physical conflict. Of course, this is not to say that he has a particular distaste for conflict or strife, but rather to say that he'd prefer not to exert the physical and energetic effort that it takes to partake in such.
Beyond this, Yatsu is a dedicated, eccentric, and steadfast individual who cares about both others and himself to a fairly equal degree, even going out of his way not to kill his opponents when possible. In fact, he has the tendency of using intimidation, and to a more limited degree, pain, to pacify his adversaries and remove his obstacles. This way, even if they live with trauma, they do live. After all, that's what matters isn't it?
P.S. He's a quirky guy with a strange sense of humor, beware.
Base Weapons & Items: X Explosive Tags X Smoke Bombs X Smoke Pellets X Bandages X Shuriken X Senbon X Kunai X Wire
Specialized Weapons & Items:
Name of Weapon or Item: Tōki Shinzō(陶器心臓'Earthen Heart').
Description: A deadly implement, Tōki Shinzō is capable of collapsing into itself, reducing it to the size of a cane when not in use. The weapon is completely resistant to heat energy, making it impossible to melt. Infused with chakra it is both conductive of it, as well as being quite durable. Do not expect to dent or cut it. The most notable ability of Tōki is that it is capable of acting as a conduit or catalyst for the user's jutsu so long as their chakra is within it.
Special Traits Skilled in Elemental Ninjutsu Skilled in Taijutsu/Yarijutsu. Weak to Fuin/Genjutsu. Decent Chakra Control. High Pain Tolerance. Licensed Therapist. Large Chakra Pool. Brilliant Tactician. Stellar Reflexes.
【Kekkei Genkai】
Name of Kekkei Genkai:Yōton(熔遁'Lava Release'). Clan: N/A. Description: A very versatile nature transformation, Kazayatsu's Yōton allows him access to any permutation of lava, in addition to minor applications of the rubber-like substance that Yōton has been seen to create in other instances. This means that Yatsu is capable of creating and manipulating solid volcanic rock, liquid lava—as well as the states between—and of course volcanic glass(obsidian). This affinity is weak against water or abilities involving incredibly cold temperatures.
【Fighting Style】
Possessing no real name, Yatsu's close quarters fighting style is characterized by the use of a spear and disruptive movements, as well as minimalizing the user's own movements. This makes his style difficult to predict and typically means it takes on a more defensive or disruptive nature, throwing adversaries off balance with well placed strikes and adjustments of position. Yatsu's brand of this style's offensive half mixes in the use of ninjutsu to cause pain and damage in the interest of debilitating or disabling an opponent—though he can easily adjust to deal fatal blows instead. This style is focused on precision rather than overwhelming physical strength or speed.
Name of Technique: Ryū-seigyo(流制御'Flow Control'). Type of Jutsu: Shape-manipulation ninjutsu. Rank: B. Range: N/A. Nature Type: Yōton. Handseals: N/A. Description: A shape-manipulation technique utilized to control the generation of the various substances of yōton as well as their movement.
Weakness: Affinity weaknesses.
====================
Name of Technique: Yōgan-ryū(溶岩流'Lava-flow'). Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu. Rank: C. Range: N/A. Nature Type: Yōton. Handseals: N/A. Description: Infusing Yōton chakra into the ground or taking control of pre-existing lava/chakra, the user pushes the chakra forwards, causing it to bunch up, creating more lava, and pulling the superheated molten material along with it, forming a wave or waves.
Weakness: Moves in one direction. Water affinity.
====================
Name of Technique: Kaihi-ryū(回避流'Evasion-flow'). Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu. Rank: C. Range: N/A. Nature Type: Yōton. Handseals: N/A. Description: Burying his spear in the ground, or directly arresting control of the Yōton chakra infused into the ground, the user will alter their location by moving the lava they stand upon, effectively allowing them to dodge without moving a muscle.
Weakness: Affinity weaknesses. High speed to an extent.
====================
Name of Technique: Yōgan hokō no jutsu(溶岩歩行の術'Lava Walking Technique'). Type of Jutsu: Supplementary ninjutsu. Rank: B. Range: Personal. Nature Type: Yōton; Fire. Handseals: N/A. Description: Channeling chakra to his feet just like the Water Walking Technique, the user instead uses their Yōton to regulate the heat energy that would hit their body. This technique, when mastered, becomes largely passive, allowing the individual to essentially ignore being surrounded by incredibly high temperatures unless being directly burned. Also, as implied, allows the user to walk on lava. Additionally, this allows the user to seamlessly ride, walk, or run on fast moving fluids or semi-fluids like mud or lava.
Weakness: Entirely supplementary.
====================
Name of Technique: Ryūtsū(流通'Flow Regulation'). Type of Jutsu: Shape-manipulation ninjutsu. Rank: A. Range: N/A. Nature Type: Yōton; Fire. Handseals: N/A. Description: A somewhat passive technique, this allows its user to regulate and manipulate the movement and temperature of his lava and to a degree, the air around it. While theoretically simple, Ryūtsū is a technique that requires a certain degree of focus and attention to detail giving it the potential for complex manipulation by a masterful user.
Weakness: Requires the user to concentrate and thus cannot be properly utilized if they are dedicated to other actions, such as close-ranged combat.
====================
Name of Technique: Tsūki kō(通気孔'Vent'). Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu. Rank: B. Range: 10 meters. Nature Type: Yōton. Handseals: 0 or 4. Description: Referring to three distinct uses, this technique can either be activated from preexisting lava, from his body, or from his spear. When utilized from preexisting lava, a build up of heat energy occurs deeper in the lava. Upon the user's mental command the pressure and heat are released upwards, blasting powerful geysers or sprays of lava out of the pool(s). If this technique is used from his person or his spear it acts similarly, but instead uses Yōton chakra directly, releasing a blast of lava in the direction his hand or the tip of his spear are aimed. The first two uses require handseals, while the second does not. This technique can be used to cool down the lava as well. Additionally, when used from his hands the technique takes about 2 seconds to charge, whereas preexisting lava takes about 4 seconds, and the spear takes none since its use requires Sainan-shu to have already been utilized.
Weakness: Affinity weaknesses. Additionally there is a clear bubbling effect on the surface of preexisting lava, and a sudden release of heat energy a second prior to the release of the technique regardless of source.
====================
Name of Technique: Sainan-shu(災難種'Disaster seed'). Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu. Rank: A. Range: Contact. Nature Type: Yōton. Handseals: N/A. Description: Channeling Yōton chakra through Tōki, the user will form a seed shaped shell of dense volcanic rock, within which is a lava of incredibly high temperatures. The user may pack as much or as little chakra into the seed as they wish and it may be used for a variety of purposes. The two most notable ones are to chain into other jutsu by inserting them into the ground via the spear, or conversely stabbing someone with the spearhead, causing the seed to release a small volcanic explosion as a result, which can cause severe burning and tissue damage.
Weakness: Affinity weaknesses mostly. Takes 2 seconds minimum to form a single seed, the more chakra infused, the longer it takes.
====================
Name of Technique: The Floor is Lava. Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu. Rank: A. Range: N/A. Nature Type: Yōton. Handseals: N/A. Description: Either requiring one held handseal, or his spear, this technique pours yōton chakra into the ground below the user or in contact with the spearhead transmuting it rapidly into magma. This effect can be spread further either naturally by allowing the heat to transfer to nearby earth, or manually by spreading the chakra out to create a larger area of magma. The first is slower than the second, but also requires less chakra.
Weakness: Water affinity. Additionally the technique is fairly costly in terms of chakra, though this scales with the size of the area.
====================
Name of Technique: Ko o Moyasu('Searing Arc'). Type of Jutsu: Nintaijutsu. Rank: B. Range: 5 meters. Nature Type: Yōton. Handseals: N/A. Description: Utilizing Chakra Flow on his spear with yōton chakra, the user slashes in an arc, creating a searing crescent, small wave, or burst of superheated air. This crescent can only travel so far, making it a close-ranged attack, but on contact can cause immensely painful third degree burns, or set fire to any reasonably flammable substance. The technique does not cost a lot of chakra, but is high ranked due to the damage it can do.
Weakness: Affinity weaknesses. Low range.
====================
Name of Technique: Hazumu Shi(弾む死'Bouncy Death'). Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu. Rank: C. Range: N/A. Nature Type: Yōton. Handseals: 3. Description: Utilizing yōton chakra, the user will create a small ball with long thin spikes protruding from it from all sides. These spikes are composed of a mixture of obsidian and solidified lava, with the obsidian being on the outer layer. Once formed, the user will exude more yōton chakra, which they will mold into a rubber-like substance around the spiked ball, with the spikes protruding from it. This creates a projectile that can stab with the spikes, while bouncing off of surfaces.
Weakness: Can be dodged fairly easily and is not terribly useful unless used in enclosed spaces.
====================
Name of Technique: Gomu Saya(ゴム鞘'Rubber Sheath'). Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu. Rank: B. Range: Contact. Nature Type: Yōton. Handseals: 1. Description: Executing the single handseal, the user places their hand on an object and molds yōton chakra, creating a layer of the rubber-like substance over whatever they are touching. This technique can be used on a weapon to turn it into a nigh harmless sparring implement or on the user to give them a form of rubber armor. It should be noted that if used as armor, the rubber does have holes to let air through, though over time it may start to restrict the user's breathing. When used as armor, the rubber-like substance takes on the outwards appearance of the user, but with a slightly orange sheen, including skin and clothing.
Weakness: Is more resistant to cutting trauma than it is blunt force making wind affinity particularly useful. Fire affinity is moderately useful, as is earth, whereas water and lightning are essentially useless.
====================
Name of Technique: Yōton yoroi: Shōgeki-gata(溶殻鎧: 衝撃型'Lava Release Armor: Ballistic Form'). Type of Jutsu: Nintaijutsu. Rank: A. Range: Personal. Nature Type: Yōton. Handseals: 8. Description: One of Yatsu's few complex jutsu, this technique is also seldom used by him due to his tendency to avoid close-quarters combat out of pure laziness. This technique works by coating the user in two layers of yōton chakra, which then solidify into two different forms. The first layer, closest to the skin, is a rubber-like material, while the second layer out is hardened volcanic rock. This armor affords a measure of protection against both piercing and blunt force attacks.
Weakness: The outer layer is vulnerable to lightning affinity, while the inner layer is most vulnerable to wind affinity. Additionally, the 'armor' is fairly heavy, preventing the user from high speed movement in favor of superior defense.
【Appearance/Wardrobe】 Chojirō can simply be summed up in one word; big. Standing at an unusually high six foot eight inches tall, he's near half as wide as he is high. Broad shouldered and barrel chested, his body is thick with muscle beneath a generous layer of fat that conceals the physique within and often makes him appear squishy and soft, especially in the gut. His skin is tough and tan, calloused across his hands and forged under the bright sun of the Fire Country to be akin to supple leather. His face is square in shape, with a strong clean shaven jaw hiding little of his blocky, inelegant features and a large round nose dominating a usually cheerful face. His ebony hair is messily trimmed to a medium length and typically held back out of his way, and mirthful close set brown eyes beneath thick brows take in the world with a certain jolly determination.
Not one for complexity, he clothes himself in a simple red, long sleeve tunic with matching trousers held up with a wide leather belt that secures his two ninja pouches. On top of this, the Leaf village's signature flak is worn to indicate his role as a leader and offer some degree of protection, only to be layered further by a suit of primitive but effective armor that his clansmen tend to be fond of. His forehead protector is kept exactly where it belongs, keeping his hair and sweat from his eyes while showing his allegiance to the world. His accessories, ever modest, remain solely the earrings gifted to him upon passing his Chūnin exams, and a pair of fingerless gloves to assist in grip. Closed toe boots of black leather guard his feet, with gauze wrapping up his ankles above them.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 【Personality】 Chojirō is a big man with a big presence and a bigger heart. Boisterous and friendly, he tries his best to make good with those around him and lighten the mood with his unique brand of jovial charm. He is carefree and steady of mind, often brushing off insults or the stresses of life with little complaint and occasional joke along the way. Indeed, it was his ability to remain rational and level headed even in the thick of combat that saw him elevated to his position. Stalwart in his way, Chojirō shows great perseverance in achieving goals he sets for himself to an almost pigheaded extent, claiming he is simply strong willed when called out on his stubbornness. A deeply empathetic individual, he keeps his eye out for his fellows, offering a shoulder to lean on should they need it. He believes strongly in unity as a village, and will go to great lengths to assist and protect those who inhabit his home. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 【History】 Chojirō was born the second som of his family, coming into the world on the heels of an older brother and sister to a pair of loving parents. His father, a shinobi by trade, was a proud warrior of the Akimichi clan who expected no less of his children, whilst his mother, a merchant's daughter, cared little for the dangerous life of a shinobi. This conflict of interests split the young family early on; Chojirō elder brother sided with his father and followed in his footsteps before his younger brother could toddle, while their sister was content to follow in the footsteps of their mother and lead a civilian life.
A sweet child from the time he could formulate such a personality, Chojirō's sire assumed he was too soft to become a strong warrior. Indeed, as other boys dreamed of waging glorious battle and played ninja in mirror of their dad's, Chojirō was content to simply enjoy food and fun. The hard nosed training sessions his father forced upon his elder brother as he rose through the academy had spoiled the idea for him, and he likely wouldn't have been a shinobi at all had his father's mentor, a Sarutobi of some renown, not visited the humble household one fine day.
The aging man was a veteran of many conflicts and many students, who had seen much in the world, good and bad, and done even more. Well aware of his mercurial pupil's behavior, it was only logical for the old man to probe Chojirō when the two were introduced and he learned the boy's distaste for shinobi life. Caught up in the stories of guts and glory, he had never been told the world of good that the soldiers of Konohagakure had also been responsible for. To be a hero, not for the battles one won, but for the lives one saved. Regaled by tales of such heroism, it was only a matter of time before the helpful lad changed his tune. By the time he was old enough, to his mother's chagrin, Chojirō wished to enroll in the ninja academy.
Through teasing that usually accompanied the portly members of the Akimichi clan among young peers, Chojirō proved himself to be more capable than once thought. Far from the doughboy his father had labeled him for, the boy excelled in his physical studies as he grew from a pudgy lad to a towering teen. By the time he graduated, he was nearly the size of his teachers and twice as strong if you believed the rumors among his sore sparring mates. The gentle giant was placed in a traditional trio of Nara, Akimichi and Yamanaka, under a Sarutobi Jōnin.
The years beneath his Jōnin and the ideologies preached by the very clan that had inspired him go become a shinobi in the first place only further cemented Chojirō's need to help the people of the Leaf. It was his duty to ensure the village prospered, and that subsequent generations have a better world to grow into. With that in mind, Chojirō and his team engaged in their first Chūnin exam to advance in rank and achieve greater responsibility.
Now it's the Jōnin exams and he's gonna kick butt okay?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 【Equipment/Weapons/Items】 Name of Weapon or Item: Bisento Description: A long, red wood pole ending in a thick, curved blade with a singular edge. This bisento has been specially made for a member of the Akimichi clan, reacting to its wielder's unique chakra and growing in size at their whim. This not only allows Chojirō to wield the fearsome weapon in his giant state, but also allows for tactical flexibility by suddenly expanding or shrinking the polearm's length or width. As both the wood and metal are chakra reactive, the user is also capable of flowing elemental chakra through it. In Chojirō's case, he can increase the weapon's durability and weight many times over. Appearance: Read above.
Name of Weapon or Item: Armor Description: A simple suit of armor similar to that used in the early days of shinobi warfare. It consists of steel plates held together by lengths of leather cordage over the shoulders and thighs, with bracers and greaves along the forearms and shins and a breastplate with the kanji for "food" in the center. It is worn over the traditional Konohagakure flak jacket. Appearance: Read above.
Name of Weapon or Item: Bags of Holding Description: A typical shinobi pouch holding shuriken, kunai, explosive notes, smoke bombs and basic medical gear. A second pouch full of high calorie food pills accompanies it. Appearance: Read above. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 【Kekkei Genkai 】 Name of Kekkei Genkai: N/A Clan: N/A Rank N/A Description: N/A
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 【Special Traits】 Deep Reserves: As a scion of the Akimichi clan, Chojirō possesses vast quantities of chakra to fuel his techniques. It takes huge amounts of expenditure to exhaust him. Incredible Strength: Built strong as an aurochs, Chojirō possesses near superhuman strength. His blows are thunderous and ground shattering, and any battle of raw muscle is usually in his favor. Uncanny Endurance: Chojirō's body is immensely hardy and durable beyond that of a normal man. Functioning as a living tank for his comrades, it takes a great deal of damage to bring him down, with a pain tolerance to match.
Renji Kurogama - Abyssal Onyx Mirror, how long does it take to crystallize an acre of land? Like how long does an opponent have to dodge this? Also specify that casting time in seconds or # of posts.
Well, considering the size of the Jutsu and the advantage Renji gains once it's cast, It should probably take at least 2 posts minimum to cast. Unless you feel differently, in which case I'm happy to go longer.
In regards to dodging, the main things to dodge would be the spikes/fissures, though they aren't instantaneous attacks. If anything they're supposed to be used to catch an opponent off-guard in order to setup for another attack or jutsu. Therefore most, if not all, Chuunin-level ninja & above should be able to dodge them quite simply under completely normal circumstances. It's possible for an opponent to escape the crystallized area using whichever mobility/flight jutsu they prefer or by simply climbing any structure or tree that might populate the area.
Name: Bumu Aka Alias: Real Age: 19 Age Appearance: 16 Gender: Male? Female? Very Androgynous. Rank: Chunnin- Jounin Sexuality: Nobody knows ———————————————————– Personality: Bumu is everybody’s friend. That’s kind of it. Nobody really gets how it works, but one day you’re chatting with the boys, and poof, there is Bumu. Nobody remembers her joining, but you all can’t remember him never being part of the group. That is the best way to describe who Bumu is as a person. Just kinda there. Tons of fun, but you’re never quite sure if she’s on the level. On issue is that she just seems to find the humor in everything, but is oddly wise. Often acting as a beacon of wisdom, or as a fireball of anarchy. Some suspect Bumu might be twins, pretending to be one person, but that doesn’t float any boats. Nor does Bumu himself float any boats, as she seems to get off on sort of pointless destruction.Often justifying a cause on the idea “That’s it’s funny!” but nobody around him gets the joke. Even she doesn’t seem sure of her jokes at time. But, the mini-fox does seem to brighten quite a few days. Though her friends list is huge, and probably includes a few Kages in there.
Village: Konoha History/Background: Bumu carries with her a legend! A ninja so strong she became Hokage at the age of 10! Wielder of the Rinnegan, Sharigan, Byakugan, and all nature releases, none who have brought his wrath have lived. It all began centuries ago, when the ninja world was forged. The eleven tailed beast appeared, and began to to ravage the lands! Terrorizing the ninja realm, until finally one ninja stood up to fight the foul monster. Bumu, daughter… Wait… Son? Either or. Child of legendary warrior Jaakuna Aka. Bumu stood up the to best, and they played a game of tic tac toe. Eventually, the beast was defeated, and Bumu was hailed as a hero for saving the ninja realms. FOREVER!
In all reality though, Bumu is the child of foxes. Child of Jaakuna the fox sage, and Tenko the fox. As a result, Bumu is herself a fox. He was born a fox, and she will die a fox. The only kit born of his mother and father. The fox kit took on human form, upon reaching the age fit for those in the ninja academy, and made quite the splash. That odd kid with the foxy grin who some swear they caught chasing hens. So Bumu seemed like they'd be an outcast. Except for you know, the whole being really friendly and in every social group kinda thing. ———————————————————– Tools:
- Shuriken, Kunai, Ninja wire, explosive tags up the wazoo. Basic equipment. - Hollow Weapons: Regular weapons, hollowed out and filled with explosives.
Name of Weapon or Item: Sujoki Fuda (Steam Tag) Description: Contrary to the standard tag with volatile explosive force, with the blessing of the Water God, these explosives tags are infused with the ability to violently erupt with an extremely deadly force of steam. Much like its parent, the boil release, these tags exhibit the same (albeit a bit weaker and less versatile) properties in damage and usefulness. Limit 3 tags per fight.
Chakra Nature: Fire Kekkei Genkai: None Special Traits: - Superior Chakra Control There are few with Bumu’s level of chakra control. - Super Speedy Woohoo Bumu may not have much in hand to hand combat, but she is one of the best when it comes to just outright ducking, weaving, and slapping you, - Quick Hands Bumu is a bit of a sleight of hander. As she can swipe weapons, or even replace them rather easily. - Fox Senses Bumu is a real foxy one. As a result, his senses are tip top. Excellent sense of smell, hearing, and even sight. Making them the best tracker you can think of in a pinch.
Name: Fire Release: Firecracker Rank: C Range: Mid-range Nature: Fire Type: Kayakujutsu Effect: The user begins by throwing an explosive tag. Upon exploding, another explosive tag appears. This creates a chain of explosions that fly through the air, creating an erratic and fast display of eruptions. The user can direct this by holding a handseal, or by releasing the seal the explosions will just bounce around around randomly in the general direction it was thrown in. The explosive chain continues up to about 30 explosions, and has a rough range of about a football field if it goes in a straight line. This technique is considered particularly powerful for a simple technique, as the user can throw more than one tag at a time to create a chain. At the moment, Bumu can start five separate chains at a time.
Name: Fire Release: Mine Rank: C Range: Close Nature: Fire Type: Kayakujutsu Effect: An explosive tag is placed where the user steps. This technique is used to deny others the chance to chase the user, as following sets off a proximity explosion. As long as the user holds a single seal, they’ll continue to place tags wherever they step..
Name: Fire Release: Rocket Rank: B Range: Unknown Nature: Fire Type: Kayakujutsu Effect: The user forms a series of quick handseals. When finished, explosive tags in their use are folded into a series of rockets. These rockets have a range of 60 meters, and will explode upon contact with another object. Or when the user wishes. This constant bombardment is considered fairly destructive, if incredibly obvious to even the blind and deaf.
Name: Fire Release: Sparkler Rank: C Range: Trap Nature: Fire Type: Kayakujutsu Effect: The user places a tag on the ground, or other place. Often throwing it if needed. When forming a handseal, the tag explodes, and showers the nearby area with a bundle of about 20 explosive tags. All go off at once, destroying everything nearby.
Name: Fire Release: Paper Bomb Generation Rank: B Range: Self Nature: Fire Type: Kayakujutsu Effect: Bumu is able to generate explosive tags of his own. Either by using pre-made paper, or generating her own. This technique isn’t so much of a drain, and Bumu can generate roughly 100 paper tags a second. Cutting down on the need to restock after missions.
Name: Fire Release: Paperboy/girl Rank: B Range: ? Nature: Fire Type: Kayakujutsu Effect: Bumu creates a clone filled with paper explosives.The clone explodes initially, showering the air with even more explosive tags. Which also explode. BOOM!
Name: Fox to Human Transformation Rank: D Range: Self Nature: ? Type: Ninjutsu Effect: Bumu is actually a fox, pretending to be human. As a result, they use a transformation technique to pass with all the normals. Simple as that, except this transformation doesn't break unless Bumu wants it to. ======================================================
