History:



Isao’s family formerly hailed from the once mighty village of Iwagakure before being displaced by the terror of Sai the Conqueror. This quickly brought on a life on the run from their persecutors. During this time the clan’s ranks were thinned immensely causing Isao to lose both his elder brother and mother to the tyranny of Sai. With his childhood nonexistent his father bitterly drilled him in the shinobi art so that he could defend himself and carry on the legacy of the Kiriyama clan if he was to fall.

Even though Isao was a young boy his father drilled in him in very draconian ways as the former successor to the clan perished in a skirmish protecting his little brother. Yukio was always the apple of his father’s eye and caused him to take out his grief on Isao. He often blamed him for the loss of his brother often saying it should have been him instead and would vent his frustration upon Isao. This release of frustration was both physically and mentally exhausting leaving scars all over his back. This caused Isao to often loath the life he was born into at first wondering what it was like to be a normal kid. He often withdrew from the rest of his family often spending a majority of his gazing up at the stars.

Even though he loathed the situation he was born into he thought it was best to make the best of it as if he excelled in his father’s training then the beatings would stop and his father may yet show him the affection that he showered upon his brother. He also sought to prove to his father wrong and prove to himself that his brother’s sacrifice wasn’t in vain. With this motivation Isao quickly became proficient in weapons and taijutsu. His work with ninjutsu was average and he saw it as nothing more to compliment his weapon and taijutsu skill.

As he progressed the lashings stopped and his father finally began to see him in a new light and not the liability he once thought. Around this time his clan joined up with the resistance and took part in the final confrontation in Amegakure. Isao himself partook in the battle by being in one of the many waves of cannon fodder genin. He did his duty and did what was needed to be done in order to win agaist whicheve opponent presnted themselves to him. At first things seemed to be looking good for this fodder as they were gaining some ground. Things however began to take a turn for the worst the worst and the genin were being slaughtered. Isao knowing he could't win feinted his death and hid beneath the boddies of several dismembered genin. After an hour passed and 3 Amagaure genin came upon the field. They were on clean up duty and began to stab at the lifeless genin bodies to ensure none of them were alive. Isao knowing he couldn't defeat them all jerry rigged his kunai pouch with his last paper bomb and coat the kunai in his venom. When they got closer he started to let out a cry for help. The 3 genin immediately went over to the noise and saw that it was an enemy. Isao playing the part of a helpless injured genin begged for help. The three genin quickly scoffed at his pleas and began to jeer at him calling him pathetic. They then began to discuss all the ways that they were going to make him suffer an agonizing death. Isao in turn tossed up his make shift bomb and detonated sending shards poisonous shrapnel into the flesh of his enemies. Isao shielded himself from the blast by using one of his fallen comrades as meat shield. Once the smoke had cleared he found one of his enemies dead and the other two writhing in pain. Instictively he went over to one and slit his throat with the sickled end of his kusarigama. The other one was starting to feel the effects of the poison and her body began to violently convulse. Isao just left her there to her fate as she would soon be dead granted it would be quite painful. He took on more look onto the battlefield before retreating back to safer territory. Once he arrived back to the war camp he found out the battle had been won. Isao was filled joy and had hoped he would return to what was left of his homeland. Even though he was very young and the thought of being able finally settle down in one place made him ecstatic. His father however still locked in a deep depression had another thing in mind and sought to start a new in a new land. Far away from the place that reminded him of what he had lost. Thus his father relocated them to the newly rebuilt village of Konohagakure far away from the mountainous region they once called home. Isao not having much of say in the matter went along with it as he would finally have a place that he could call home.

He was then enrolled in the local shinobi academy. Even though most of things the academy that was taught to him were already ingrained in him due to his father’s harsh training. He was just excited at the fact that he was going to get to interact with others his age. He eventually graduated from the academy with flying colors but often got in trouble for his methods in friendly spars often sending his opponent to the infirmary. This coupled with his tendency to poison some his classmates got him labeled as a troublemaker and led to most of his peers loathing the idea of having him as a potential teammate.

Personality: Isao is a confident in himself, in his abilities and in his appearance. It is almost to the point of it being border line narcissism. He is personable in his own odd quirky way often being the first to strike up conversation even if it is uncomfortable for the other party. He has the habit of playfully joking with his teammates and often will poison them for the fun of it. He will of course cure them in due time depending on his relationship with them. Isao is very patient and often analyzing his opponent’s strengths. Often launching halfhearted attacks to see how they react and lulling them into a false sense of superiority. Once he sees how they react against them he will determine his best course of action and exploit whatever weakness they may have. When he knows that he is fighting an opponent who is weaker than him however he will often toy with them before delivering the coup de gras. To him their just wouldn’t be any fun in ending it premature. This was a bad habit he picked up in his youth as being a child soldier led one to finding other ways of amusement then those born with a silver spoon in their mouth. One aspect that doesn’t change when he fights is that he will often antagonize the person he is going against regardless of their strength. He dislikes the prideful and those who overly emphasize honor. To him what is the point of having honor if it leads to your ultimate demise. The idea of live to fight another day is permanently ingrained into his head after the battle in Amegakure.He often keeps people at an arm’s length and as he is afraid to let anybody get close to him. This out of the fear that if they were to perish, the burden on his tattered soul would be more then he could bare.

Theme:Violent Emotion

Appearance:


History: For as long as she knew, she lived with an old woman, Sachiko, in an old hut hidden away in a forest. It had only one big room, with a fireplace in the center, but it was home, where she spent most of her days helping the Sachiko, or playing outside whenever her help was not needed. Ageha could never go too far however, as the old woman gave her warnings to never go out of the forest without her. The few times she tried, somehow Sachiko got there first, or caught up with her quickly whenever she did give her the slip. Afterwards she'd be punished severely, like having to go without food for one day or being made a scarecrow for one day, scaring off birds from the small vegetable patch they had, which was hard work considering she was rather small at the time, and the birds were rather bold. The few times she actually got out was with Sachiko, and it was mostly a quick trip to a shop or two and then she was whisked away back to the forest.

Her past was never mentioned directly by Sachiko; she always evaded Ageha's probing questions, and when pressed simply said it was better not to know. However, there were times Sachiko let a few things slip, and from those pieces of information that remained relatively consistant between each retelling, Ageha pieced together a few part of her past. The village she was in was destroyed by an evil man, her family massacred and her house burnt down. Sachiko, fighting off some of the evil man's minions, heard Ageha crying somewhere and rushed off to save her. She then fought off a large ogre, and several thousand demons which Ageha deemed was of very questionable truth.

When the old woman deemed she was ready, Ageha was given two wooden rods, then plunged straight into kenjutsu training where she faced Sachiko herself in full contact battles. It was highly confusing and very disorienting, as she finally saw the old woman really move. Her first time in kenjutsu training resulted her having a lot of bruises, and a small glimpse of Sachiko's other side. She could not yield, for the old woman would ignore it, crying was useless, and the best she could do was pickup the wooden rods again and try t block the old woman's attack. The ninjitsu training was even more confusing, being taught jutsu that was obviously above her level. That never detered Sachiko however, as she tempered training sessions with threats and rewards. While she did eventually get better at kenjutsu, mimicking Sachiko's movements, ninjitsu training for her was harder, though she did manage to grasp how Sachiko molded the water into her own image. After a particularly vicious training session that left her writhing in pain, she asked Sachiko for the reason why she was subjected to this torture. Sachiko never answered.

The years passed and Ageha grew quite skilled at kenjutsu, and even managed to improve in some of the ninjitsu she was taught as well. She learned how to survive off the land as well, something she learnt after being forced to live outside during one of the old woman's more intensive training. One day Sachiko opened up the floor boards and pulled out several canvas parcels. Opening them revealed weapons. A lot of weapons that Sachiko seemed to have used before. Several tags tied up in a bundle, kunai, shuriken, swords, and a lot of other weapons with different shapes and sizes. Sachiko explained that she used to be quite the hot ninja back in the days, and this hut was one of the safehouses they used once. After which she picked out a pair of twin blades, handing them to Ageha, promising to teach her more about all the other weapons.

By now she was used to most of the old woman's habit and eccentricities, and obeyed her rules without question, so when the old woman dissappeared for days, Ageha thought nothing amiss, and continued on tending to the old hut, which looked a little bit better now that she was old enough to actually do some repairs and maintenance on the crooked thing. It was common for her to disappear for days at a time, then return bringing some provisions or something else to the house. Ageha suspects she was out meeting with some of her old friends, but never asked. However, this time she returned with barely anything, looking rather pale and.... older, somehow. Fearing the worse, Ageha took her back to the hut, where she remained bedridden for days. Weeks passed, and Sachiko was finally lucid enough to sit up and talk.

"They've done it... Those fools done it.... I promised I will never rest until he was dethroned, bought low before me..."

"Grandmother, what are you talking about?"

Sachiko simply gave her a smile. "I am sorry... Age...ha.."

***

Ageha closed the dusty tome, sighing to herself. She had found the tome while cleaning out the house, having no real idea what to do now that Sachiko was dead. Ageha would have stayed in the old hut, heeding Sachiko's warning to never go out of the forest unless needed and tending to her grave near the river, if not for the tome she found.

The old woman's diary.

It was hard to stop reading when a book chronicles the life of one you loved, and yourself as well. Harder still to keep the tears from falling, as old memories both euphoric and sad overwhelmed her. There was even an entry on a rather private part of Sachiko's life when she flipped all the way to the beginning of the book, about a samurai who eventually became her husband. Ageha skipped the pages where the diary started to describe their nights together where the entries became increasingly steamy. However, that was not the only thing the book kept, there were also other events and Sachiko's thoughts recorded. While most of what she had pieced together was correct, there was one detail she had never managed to get; the name of the person who ordered the destruction of her village and the systematic genocide of all the people living there. Sachiko, after saving her, then honed Ageha to be the tool of her vengeance.

Desperate for some sort of purpose to her life, Ageha set out to find and assassinate Sai. However, in the first village she stumbled upon, she learned Sai was already long dead, thus rendering her purpose for going out of the forest null and moot. It was then that she learned of a ninja village, which had issued a summons to people like herself, in the words of the guardsman that spoke with her. Having no real idea of what else to do, Ageha sought out the nearest village, arriving at Konohagakure's doorsteps weeks later. With literally no idea of what she was doing, she joined the military, having already the skills to take on a chuunin on equal grounds. However, it was apparent that the basics of ninjitsu was not taught to her from the way she executed her jutsu. Thus, she was introduced to another aspect of the village, the Academy and its Remedial Classes.

Just like Sachiko to teach her advanced stuff and leave out the basics...

Personality: What she truly believes in is herself, thus she can be rather hard headed if she feels like it. Having spent most of her life practicing, she has no concept of what being social means. Ageha can interact with people, but not socialize well. Quick to trust and slow to anger, she could be called naive or ignorant, as she is woefully inexperienced in most aspects of life.

Combat Style: Ageha fights mostly using taijutsu, and kenjutsu. Her style of fighting is closer to a samurai's than a ninja's, perhaps because of the old woman's reasoning that Sai would have been familiar with a ninja's style of fighting.

Name Iroh Ikeda
Alias Iroh, the Seismic Sage
Age 28 | Gender Male
Alliance Konohagakure, partially Iwagakure
Rank Jounin
Position Sensei
Traits Insane physical strength, high durability

Appearance

Iroh is a highly physically fit man whose body seems perfect and pristine. Unlike most shinobi of his age and experience, he has no scars nor shows any signs of aging. Iroh appears in his early twenties if not late-teens despite his actual age. This has led to a lack of respect commonly given to Iroh. Iroh speaks in a voice that although is not entirely befitting of his size, is not exactly unnatural. Aside from his body-type, he has no notable features. Dark green eyes, dark brown hair and standing 5'10".



History From a young age, Iroh was excessively strong, but had no other notable traits. When becoming a shinobi, he took to taijutsu - flourished as a matter of fact - but aside from that fell short in genjutsu and ninjutsu. The reality was that his taijutsu contrasted his other jutsu so greatly that despite them being average they seemed far below it. During his youth, Iroh was repeatedly told he would have to dedicate time and effort into his ninjutsu if he ever wanted to become a powerful shinobi. Many suspected that his entrance into the Second Great Shinobi War would be the end of him, as he was fool-hearty and used primarily taijutsu.

They could not have been more wrong. Iroh excelled in combat and despite jumping into danger almost every chance he got not only survived but finished every battle stronger. Iroh opened up the doors to his elemental release, Earth Style, and afterwards developed a relatively basic style of nintaijutsu that made him a large threat on the battlefield. Coupled with his own taijutsu mastery and near-superhuman strength, Iroh rose through the ranks as quickly as he rose to the occasion of battle, and only took more experience from each fight. Iroh never earned a nickname throughout the Second Great Shinobi War and even the Reign of Sai as his feats were changing by the day, most simply being embellished rumors.

Whether it was word of Iroh punching a hole in the Wall of Steel in Sunagakure or causing Earthquakes on the Amegakure front, Iroh made his name known. He made it even more known that he used nothing but brute force and only ever went in headstrong. Iroh is a success story, even if not a dramatic one. Alone, he managed to survive two wars literally jumping headfirst into every battle he could, and that alone has made him a living legend. As such a legend, he fought in the forefront of every major resistance battle and before that led a resistance in Iwagakure as a figurehead-type leader that fought off the oppression since it was started during the Second Great War.

Iroh choose to join Konohagakure mostly due to the internal conflict he caused within Iwagakure. Many wished for him to take a spot in leadership while he never did like the idea. Iroh made a great general in battle, but a terrible speaker for the people - and he knew it. Konohagakure was home to many of the shinobi he called his friends after he joined their rebellion, so he felt it best that he avoid the political scene and join Konohagakure. Speak of him being the next Tsuchikage sent him into a distinct realm of fear.

Before joining the resistance, Iroh led his own resistance inside Iwagakure made up of his people, which is the reason he was considered a political head inside Iwagakure. Before the coalition of resistance that formed the major resistance, Iroh had many conflicts with the Konoha resistance where he met his rival, Kyo. She was known as the Bamboo Sage and her style of fighting countered Iroh and his, while he was also essentially untouchable by hers. Having fought dozens of battles before joining forces, Kyo and Iroh became known as the Twin Sages, despite their lack of senjutsu. His rivalry with Kyo and thus psuedo-friendship with the Senju have played roles in his decision to join Konohagakure.

Personality Iroh is bull-headed and passionate about what he does. He has always been a "give it all or nothing" type of person and to this day remains such. Iroh is neither intelligent or unintelligent, but he severely lacks in forethought and fine-tuning. His idea of fun is forty-eight solid hours of sparring with the same person, possibly even stronger than him. Iroh is bluntly honest and hot-headed, even to the point of quickly resorting to violence to solve a problem. Iroh is not inherently prideful or egocentric; instead he is highly determined and blunt to the degree that it can be interpreted incorrectly.

Nature Release Earth (Doton), Seismic Art (Jishin-hō)

Jutsu List All Academy Jutsu.

Although it is not necessarily a jutsu, Iroh keeps a majority of his sheer power and even muscle mass reserved. At any time, he can release what he has reserved, growing enormously in muscle bulk and raw power at no cost to him. The downside, however, is that in this state, the use of certain jutsu requires far more chakra although they are exponentially more powerful, meaning that this technique can eat away at his chakra reserves quickly. Without the use of chakra, though, this form can be maintained indefinitely.

Custom Jutsu

Jutsu Name: Earth Release: Earth Legionnaire
Jutsu Type: Supplementary
Effective Range: Self
Nature Type: Earth
Descriptions: Earth Legionnaire is a jutsu that greatly mimics Earth Spear. It coats the body in a layer of extremely hard (although not as hard as diamond, like with Earth Spear) and causes it to darken. The advantage of this is that like its sister-jutsu it can be performed without handseals and very quickly, but at the sacrifices of some of its defensive properties.
Drawbacks: High susceptibility to Lightning Release.

Jutsu Name: Seismic Art: Prophecy of the Earth
Jutsu Type: Supplementary
Effective Range: Close
Nature Type: Earth
Descriptions: This jutsu allows the user to send out shockwaves through any medium. This includes water and air, but is far superior in solid materials. Chakra is converted into these shockwaves and can reach proportions large enough to cause small Earthquakes. More over, the jutsu allows the user to absorb shockwaves and convert them to chakra, although they must be traveling through a medium and are limited when in air and liquid.

Jutsu Name: Seismic Art: Rawkfist
Jutsu Type: Offensive
Effective Range: Close
Nature Type: Earth
Descriptions: The signature jutsu of Iroh, it hardens the users fist is hardened to a diamond-hard status. Afterwards, it is charged with Seismic energy that allows it to send massive shockwaves through whatever it hits, normally resulting in craters or explosions.

Jutsu Name: Seismic Art: Earth Mapping
Jutsu Type: Supplementary
Effective Range: Mid
Nature Type: Earth
Descriptions: As long as the user remains in contact with the ground, they can feel every vibration that is traveling through the Earth and thus locate anyone whom is in direct contact with the ground.

Jutsu Name: Seismic Art: Airborne Charters
Jutsu Type: Supplementary
Effective Range: Mid, Long
Nature Type: Earth
Descriptions: By blasting bits of seismic chakra together, the user can create a type of echolocation that can track anything in a large area or in a large cone in front of them, but not both simultaneously. The seismic chakra is not a fine tool for locating, but an effective one for tracking as even masked chakra bounces the seismic chakra back.

Jutsu Name: Seismic Art: Terraforming
Jutsu Type: Offensive
Effective Range: Mid
Nature Type: Earth
Descriptions: At the cost of becoming stationary and using large sums of chakra, the user can blast large sums of seismic chakra through the ground resulting in the formation or destruction of the terrain of an environment. With this, the user can literally create small canyons, form mountains (with enough time and chakra) and turn hills to dust. The most notable use of this jutsu is simply its ability to create Earthquakes on a large scale.
Drawbacks: High chakra cost, stationary position and rarely can recreate what is destroyed

【Personality】

Kyō's personality is practically identical to the power that she wields - firm, unyielding, and vibrant. She is durable, persistent, and above all else a force of nature to be reckoned with when times are stormy and peaceful alike. Kyō is often seen as a figure of authority, solemn and stern, one who refuses to take no for an answer and brooks no threats to her dominance over those she considers herself responsible for - but like the bamboo she so well represents, she is also capable of great change, of forgiveness and of regrowth. Like Yin and Yang, Kyō exhibits both of these qualities, though her sterner side is by far the dominant faction of her being and she feels more comfortable in charge of a situation than being told what to do and this headstrong nature has often proven itself to be invaluable - battles are won by her force of will, be they with wits or weapons, and peace is ensured by her forceful yet guiding hands.

Like all things in nature, Kyō has been cultivated to embody immense strength in the face of danger and to fight fiercely, to protect herself and those under her wing. The fight continues each and every day, and while the foes and the scenery can change, the nature of the battle and of war itself does not - it is a constant within Kyō's heart and mind, and a constant within the world that is growing around her. In war there must be victory, and in peace there must be vigilance - it is these things that Kyō values above all else, though she prefers to keep the peace rather than fight for it. One day, when she dies, she wishes only for her sacrifice to be the stepping stone to a brighter future in which all of her saplings can sprout and grow. Kyō was raised in a world where war was the norm for a very long time - and the beat of the great drums still echoes within her skull with every breath she takes. It could be said that those who partake in war are forever marked, forever followed and haunted by those that they have slain and by the horrors that they have wreaked - Kyō is not one of those people, for she sees only the lives that she has saved, and the tragedies that she has averted. Perhaps in learning to do so she hardened herself, but there is a nobler self within her core that cannot be denied - even if it is difficult to coax out.

Duality and Dichotomy are two concepts that permeate the very fabric of existence, from the time we are seeds to the time we spread our roots while fully grown - and Kyō is no exception to nature's laws. Firmness and Tenderness exist with equal measure in her heart, but for two things to exist in a dissonant harmony one must give and one must take, one must succumb to the iron grip of the other, and it is tenderness that has taken this blow within Kyō's heart. The survival and sanctity of those beneath her must be preserved, at all costs, and the mantle is one that Kyō wears proudly and willingly.



【History】

Each person's past is said to be the thing that defines them, that binds them, and that inevitably creates the pathway for their future. There are those that follow this dogma imposed upon them by forces that cannot be seen or felt but for the effects their actions have on our lives, and there are those that make their own fate, choosing to abstain from the superstitions and wisdom that govern others. Kyō chose to take her destiny into her own hands from a very young age. As a female from the Senju clan, Kyō was important and very lucky to have received the gifts that she had, and her importance could not have been more drilled into her from a young age. There was no knowledge of the war that would inevitably erupt, but there was always posterity, especially within a clan so powerful and ancient - and these actions were what influenced Kyō's choices for an extremely long time.

Kyō was brought up to believe that the world was one of unfathomable beauty and grace, precious to the extreme, but fragile. It needed to be nurtured, to be cared for, and to be guided in such a way that it grew in the right direction, free from impurities that would leach its goodness and damage the greater whole. The burden of pruning the world tree was one that fell to everyone, but there were those that actively eschewed any notion of protecting that which was most important and there were those whose ignorance blinded them to greater truths, part of the problem without understanding what havoc they were causing. These people needed to be taught the ways and guided, protected, so harmony could be the prominent force of the world.

When war struck, Kyō was among the first to answer the call, offering her skills and her authoritative nature to the war effort in order to protect everything that she loved. Unfortunately, Sai's onslaught was far more effective than any defence that all among the nations could have mustered, and Kyō was no exception to this. She failed to protect that which she loved and cared for, and almost lost her life in the process. When Kyō awoke among the ashes of what she had lost, she fled - knowing that her survival was paramount to the culturing of goodness within the world. Even in the darkest days, her resolve remained true and she fled from the persecution of Sai's reign - teaching the broken remnants of good people what she believed was right.

Kyō’s efforts in the war were both great and the foundation of her future - she met Iroh, the Seismic Sage, upon the battlefield and was shocked to find that he was the first opponent she had directly faced that she could not beat. The two’s styles prevented the other from touching them, and after many hours of attempting to break through, the two stopped fighting. Many battles continued to be fought between the pair before the war was over, earning them a long standing rivalry but a begrudging sense of respect. Over time, the pair became known as the Twin Sages, heralding the start of a partnership that has lasted to this day.

Kyō did not dislike Sai's reign as much as she thought she would. There was a tenuous peace, and though it was brought about by terror and genocide it was peaceful. Culture was destroyed, but given time it could have been rebuilt. All in all, the time was not nearly as horrendous as people thought it would have been - at least, one who valued the good of the world above all else did not believe so. Even with that in mind, Kyō fought in the resistance in order to overthrow Sai. Her vision of a good world was not one where he was in power or alive - and she fought with all her might to ensure that the world could be shepherded into a brighter future. Whether or not that goal will be achieved is something only time can tell.





【Chakra Nature(s)】

Doton; Suiton; Mokuton

【Weapons/Tools】

Name of Weapon or Item: Ōku no Ne [Many Roots]
Location: Senju, Kyō
Owner: Senju, Kyō
Rank: A

Description: The Ōku no Ne is a bamboo stick that has been tempered and trained for combat to such an extent that it is far stronger than the hardest steel and far lighter. Strikes from the Ōku no Ne are brutal, as the weapon is hardened not only by physical conditioning but also by a vast amount of Doton chakra, and in truth few weapons can be considered remotely able to deal with the seemingly simple stick alone.

The Ōku no Ne’s true power and namesake, however, lie within its ability to produce copies of itself that are identical to the original in every way except strength. For as long as Kyō wields the weapon, it is able to create additional copies of itself in order to provide Kyō with attack patterns and strategies that few other weapons truly can. Additionally, the Ōku no Ne is so imbued with chakra that Kyō is able to change its size to vary from its normal three feet long form, up to eight feet long, and its thickness can also be increased or decreased as well. The copies of the Ōku no Ne cannot change their size, and are the size of the Ōku no Ne at the time of their creation.

【Other Specialties】



Kyō is an extremely durable woman, having trained extensively over her many years of life to achieve the peak physical form. It is exceptionally difficult to permanently damage her, and she seems able to shrug off attacks that lesser ninja would find highly detrimental and perhaps even fatal.

Kyō has a fairly large chakra pool - not so large as others that boast themselves as having incredible chakra, but enough to keep herself in a fight for the long haul.

Kyō’s chakra control is very fine, allowing her to waste practically no chakra when she uses Mokuton jutsu that affect her physical form, and waste little when she uses Mokuton ninjutsu. Her control of other elements is more lacking than the latter two, but is still fine enough to be considered good.

Kyō is an expert in her own unique brand of Mokuton ninjutsu, but struggles with other ninjutsu.

Kyō is a taijutsu expert, and is skilled in Bōjutsu due to years of use of the Ōku no Ne.





【Kekkei Genkai】

Name: Mokuton: Take-hō [Wood Release: Bamboo Art]
Type: Ninjutsu
Clan (If Applicable): Senju; Unique to Kyō

Description: Kyō commands a version of the Mokuton that is no less potent than its parent, but is more specialised - Kyō is unable to make the trees and other plants that the Senju are famous for, but she can grow quantities of bamboo that are, in a word, astounding. Kyō’s bamboo is extremely strong - several times more so than steel - and is almost impervious to fire due to a thick waxy layer that surrounds it.

Name of Technique: Take-Sen no Kyōji [Teachings of the Bamboo Sage]
Type of Jutsu: Nintaijutsu
Rank: A
Range: Personal
Nature Type: Mokuton
Handseals: N/A

Description: Kyō gathers her strength and assaults a foe with the Ōku no Ne, striking them at the speed of a Hyuuga within the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms. For each hit she lands with the Ōku no Ne, she creates two additional Ōku no Ne and assaults the foe with each of these, continuing until a total of sixty four bamboo sticks have been created. If her opponent does not move from the spot where they were hit by the final assault, Kyō will strike them again with every Ōku no Ne created by the technique. This technique cannot be used while Visage of the Bamboo Sage is active.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Amō o Hiroge no Take [Spreading of the Heavenly Bamboo Wings]
Type of Jutsu: Nintaijutsu
Rank: C
Range: Personal
Nature Type: N/A
Handseals: N/A

Description: The user uses the power of the Ōku no Ne to immediately release 8 bamboo sticks from the first in a semicircle above the user. Then, by flowing chakra through the arms, the user accelerates themselves with a faux-Shunshin no Jutsu to hit the target with each of the sticks in rapid succession from right to left, dropping them immediately afterwards. The jutsu looks much like a bamboo “fan” hitting the opponent with a single sweep as it is particularly fast. The force of the sticks is quite potent, as the Ōku no Ne’s bamboo is specifically hardened for combat purposes.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Sen-Take no Kao [Visage of the Bamboo Sage]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: B
Range: Personal
Nature Type: Mokuton
Handseals: N/A

Description: Kyō focuses her Mokuton chakra inwards, causing bamboo plates to grow out of her skin over the course of ten seconds. There are visible seams in the plates of bamboo that cover her entire body (except her head). The bamboo that coats her is extremely strong and is exceptionally difficult to damage by any means. The bamboo can be regrown through use of Saisei: Madara Nikkō [Regrowth: Dappled Sunlight] as many times as Kyō has the chakra to sustain it.

While the plating is active, Kyō’s movements are less swift than without and her mobility is slightly impaired. She is able to shed any number of plates at any point and convert them immediately into additional copies of the Ōku no Ne. The bamboo is exceptionally difficult to physically pierce, is resistant to most chakra-based attacks, and has a thick waxy coating that is impermeable and hydrophobic.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Take-hō: Takenomori Kōtan [Bamboo Art: Nativity of a Forest of Bamboo]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: A
Range: Medium-Long
Nature Type: Mokuton
Handseals: N/A

Description: Kyō slams either her palm or the Ōku no Ne into the ground, marking between three and six concentric circles on the ground with a green light. The circles are always at least three feet apart, but can be up to ten feet apart. After performing the snake handseal, the circles erupt upwards, creating rings of stalks of thick bamboo (roughly eight inches in diameter), up to twenty feet tall. Enemies stood on top of the circles will be thrown into the air. The bamboo is exceptionally resilient.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Take-shin no Shōzō no Menkai [Divine Visitation of the Bamboo Effigy]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: A
Range: Medium
Nature Type: Mokuton
Handseals: N/A

Description: Kyō creates a statue made of bamboo that is capable of taking a great number of hits before dissipating, is difficult to damage with any elemental ninjutsu, and is the size of one of the Rashōmon.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Saisei: Madara Nikkō [Regrowth: Dappled Sunlight]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Range: Personal
Nature Type: Mokuton
Handseals: N/A

Description: Whenever Kyō’s bamboo is destroyed, she is able to expend chakra equal to half that of the original jutsu to regrow the bamboo over the course of five seconds. Saisei: Madara Nikkō can be used to repair damage to Kyō herself while Sen-Take no Kao is active.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Mantake no Me [Ten Thousand Bamboo Sprouts]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Range: Close - Long
Nature Type: Mokuton
Handseals: N/A

Description: Kyō creates thin but extremely strong shoots of bamboo in a line. The bamboo is not easily destroyed by physical attacks, and is extremely rigid unless Kyō removes her chakra from it. Individual shoots of bamboo from this technique make strong impromptu weapons.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Kibishī Kyōkun [A Harsh Lesson]
Type of Jutsu: Nintaijutsu
Rank: B
Range: Passive
Nature Type: Mokuton
Handseals: N/A

Description: Kyō’s successful strikes upon an enemy with the Ōku no Ne leave trace amounts of Mokuton chakra in whatever they hit. Upon being hit again by the Ōku no Ne, the chakra will be converted into kinetic energy, dealing additional damage to targets and helping to break through tough armour.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.
