[COLOR="Silver"] "For her family, Akaritori made a funeral pyre of Exae."
Akaritori is a woman scarred by the horrors of this world. Once, she was a champion of the Light, of purity and chastity and virtue. Those times died when her family did, and after the atrocities that Akaritori witnessed, she has taken her light to a darker place. Once, Akaritori was a kind woman who wanted to spare the world from its pain. She worked day and night to learn the arts of the sword so that she could stand up for those who could not take up arms themselves, and though she did not realise it, a great evil was born with her - for with conviction there must be absolute belief, and absolute belief brooks no threats to its authority, imagined or otherwise. Akaritori was virtuous to the extreme - she believed that all life, no matter how marred by imperfection, should be protected - for life is a precious gift, and squandering it is a great crime.
No matter how strong one's belief becomes, it should never define them. Conviction should never become the singular facet upon which the delicate balance of the mind rests, but for one as fervent as Akaritori, this downfall was perhaps inevitable. The worst moral crises are those that the mind has imposed on itself by virtue of its own conviction, and it was Akaritori's great faith that finally broke her spirit - for her faith was so great that mere facts could not shake it, and this staunch belief was turned against her. When one life claims another as its own, what can one who believes that all life is sacred do? Akaritori could not hold on to her pristine ethical code and simultaneously save the lives of her people, and this raged inside of her like a great battle for many years - each life she took trying to prevent more of those who she had grown up with from being assimilated brought her closer to her demise.
It is not easy to wash out the blood on one's hands - especially that which is only imagined - and just as each death killed a little spark inside Akaritori, each life she saved brought her closer to the light. For a warrior so ensconced in the light which she so firmly believed in, Akaritori was blind to how it blinded her, and she wandered alone in the dark, unable to see for all of the blood she imagined was dripping down her face. There is only so much that a single person can endure, no matter how brilliant their light may be, and the brighter the light that sustains you, the darker the shadow it casts. The shadow of the candle looms tall even as its light grows dim, and the longer the shadow, the greater the darkness that will inevitably consume it.
Now, Akaritori is but a husk of her past-self. Her core remains sacrosanct, but the morals that surround it have fallen to the darker side of the psyche, and where once a desire to save all life was fostered a great rift has formed, a rift that has consumed purity with vengeance. The innocent must always be protected, such is true to her core, but Akaritori can no longer bear the pain of her failures, and she targets evil indiscriminately. She vanquishes those who have fallen to the allure of "black magics" with the same conviction she once would have fought for their life with, slaying them before they can harm so much as a single innocent with their selfishness. After her fall from grace, Akaritori became much darker, much more prone to fits of grief-driven vengeance. She has become a woman who hunts the forces of night ruthlessly, and is eager to condemn all those who would harm the innocent, even at the cost of everything else.[/COLOR]【
History】
[COLOR="Silver"]The woman known as Akaritori began her life in a peaceful city from across the seas known as Alaria. Exae was a peaceful and prosperous city, with three main districts - Exae, the home of Law, Nykt, the home of Mystery, and Naya, the home of the Wild. When each of the districts of Alaria worked together, the results were legendary, and the city glowed among its brethren like a glittering jewel, a marvel of the works of cooperation and the human spirit. There were times when one or more districts did not cooperate, such was expected, but they were far and few between. Alaria was a glorious city of progress, and all of its inhabitants lived in a golden age. Akaritori was brought into the world on the back of perfection, and she was raised to do nothing else but bask in its glow.
Akaritori was always a happy child, even from her first day in this world. She was never too problematic, never cried too much, and her parents would swear that she'd sleep through the night just so they could get some rest. Love was abundant in the life of this particular child, and it shaped her, over years, into a beautiful child. Akaritori's hair glittered like the sun, and even her body had an almost papery translucence to it, shimmering with all of the hues of the sun. Akaritori was radiant, and her parents knew what that particular fact meant: Akaritori was born with the Hokori no Exae [Pride of Exae]. Gifted with the rare genetic mutation that happened semi-frequently in the city, Akaritori's destiny was carved out for her from the second she could walk.
Though the love never left her life, its presence was withdrawn when Akaritori was taken from her loving family to be trained in Exae's arts of swordplay. It was expected that members of the Pride would be proficient in all of Alaria's customs, from Exae's swordplay to Nykt's artifice to Naya's compassion. Each of these lessons were taken well by the young Akaritori, but she demonstrated by far the most skill in her home district's abilities, those of Exae. Akaritori grew up to be an exemplar of the values that Exae held above all others, and she was chosen to be the Champion of Exae, the fated hero who would guide Exae to a shining new destiny. Many had forgotten that the title of Champion had been the result of a prophecy where doom would come to Alaria. Most, but not all.
It was on her twenty-first birthday that Akaritori was approached by a hooded woman, in the colours of Naya, who pressed a letter to her chest and said: "Persevere, for the darkness encroaches. Seek out Ophiuchus, Keeper of the Precepts.". The letter - white ink on black paper, and the seal of Nykt upon its edges - which warned her of the upcoming battles she would face. Akaritori, a woman who had always been a champion at heart, could not ignore the dark portents that had been revealed to her and she sought out the woman in Naya who had sent her the letter. She found nothing but dust. For three years, Akaritori pressed her concerns to the back of her mind, and continued on her duties as a protector of the innocent. When she turned 24, she woke up one morning to find the letter that she had received three years ago on her bed, with new writing replacing the old. There were only two words on that piece of paper, but the scrawling script and eldritch curvature of the lettering chilled her to her core:
"We arrive."
Akaritori immediately took up arms to find the mysterious beings that had changed her letter, but after a day her search ended with nothing. She chose to retire to her chambers, but as the sun began to set the encroaching darkness revealed signs of a plague within Exae. The next few days are what shaped Akaritori's entire life. After a few days of careful study, it was determined by the healers of Naya that the plague was no ordinary disease, but was a parasitic organism that consumed the mind of its host and used the flesh to build itself a body before roaming to infect others. Very few people were initially infected, but the plague spread quickly if left unchecked, and so much as a single escapee could devastate the entirety of Alaria. Fortune had it that as the plague hit Nykt had a massive argument with Naya about the price of ore and other materials, and despite both Naya and Exae's urging to Nykt that the plague was more important, the council of Nykt would not listen, and withdrew all of their support to Exae, sticking exclusively to their own district.
It was not long until Nykt fell to the plague - three weeks and not a single sound except the crunching of bones and the screams of the damned could be heard from Nykt. Exae and Naya quickly banded together to fight off the army of plague, and a state of war was declared. Exae and Naya both called upon their greatest champions, and the Pride of Exae was to lead the charge into Nykt. Akaritori agreed to the charge readily, and lead the most powerful members of the Exaean Caste to war. The war waged for many years, and in those years, the outskirts of Exae and Naya both fell to the plague, but the corruption was stymied enough that as a whole, the two cities managed to survive. Akaritori was largely successful in her campaign to root out the corruption in Nykt, and after four long years she had managed to save as many innocent lives as possible. The Nayans and Exaeans had managed to halt the corruption in those infected, but they would never be able to cure them. It was enough to survive, but not enough to save the innocent. That was a trade that Akaritori simply was not willing to accept, and she pushed the council to find a definitive cure.
At long last, the combined efforts of Alaria managed to halt the spread of the plague long enough that, finally, Akaritori could take a breath and relax. She went back to Exae, and she asked the magistrates if she could see her family. The reply was swift and brutal: Akaritori's family had died within the first year of the war, overcome by plague before they could evacuate. Akaritori was never told for fear of her becoming too mournful to fight. Akaritori left Exae quickly, and fled to the ruins of Nykt where she began to mourn for her family. As she thought about her family, her sadness gave way to an incredible rage - the loss of everyone she had ever loved, and she had not known for six years. She was furious at the Exaeian Council for not having the decency to have told her, and in a fit of grief Akaritori plundered the last remaining archives of Nykt's knowledge. She learned of the true power of her Pride of Exae, and it was decided:
For her family, who had never gotten a proper funeral, Akaritori would make a funeral pyre of Alaria.
As Akaritori wept, she pointed her sword towards the heavens and asked whatever gods there may be to grant her the strength to avenge her family, to avenge the innocent, and to punish the corrupt that had destroyed her home and her life. No gods answered, but the power that lay deep within her heard her earnest plea and with that power she burned all of Exae to ashes. The pathetic neatness of Exae was nothing before her rage and her grief.
From that day, Akaritori was broken. She was a corrupted shade of who she was, and she vowed only one thing:
Nobody else would suffer like she had. She would protect the innocent, and she would rip apart anybody or anything that attempted to stay her hand. She would seek out the "Keeper of Precepts" that the woman had mentioned for answers about why Exae had suffered - if she could not avenge them, she would learn why they had to die. The woman proved difficult to track down, initially, and Alaria held no more answers for its disgraced champion. Akaritori fled the continent and settled in Iwagakure, quickly rising to prominence as its Kage due to her broken nature - [/COLOR]【

Weapons/Tools】
[COLOR="Silver"] Name of Weapon or Item: Masayoshi, Saikōsai no Ken [Justice, Blade of the Supreme Court]
Owner: Akaritori
Rank: A
Description: The Masayoshi, Saikōsai no Ken is a diamond Jian that has been bolstered with years of constant infusion of extremely powerful Doton chakra. The diamond from which Masayoshi is made was taken from the Imperial Arch of Justitia in Exae, and as such it still holds a great deal of power completely foreign to the new land Akaritori has found herself in. The blade itself is able to access the Kagayaki, and it channels the light so fiercely that it literally burns all enemies that come within its range. Being struck with the blade is extremely painful, and the blade itself is nigh unbreakable. Every time Akaritori uses one of her jutsu, it charges Masayoshi, causing it to gain vastly increased cutting power for the remainder of her current battle. After sixteen wings’ worth of charging, Masayoshi is able to cut through practically anything. Opponents killed by Masayoshi are cremated instantly, even to their bones.
Name of Weapon or Item: Kōha Megane (Lightwave Goggles)
Location: Over Akaritori’s eyes at all times.
Owner: Akaritori
Rank: A
Description: An advanced set of goggles designed to protect Akaritori’s eyes from the intense light that she wields. The lenses are tinted so that the light she commands does not blind her without hindering her own moves. The goggles have also been technologically modified to be able to sense heat using thermal vision, and they have a setting to detect the bouncing of light waves much like a geographical graph would display isobars, allowing her to truly detect most people despite their efforts to hide. These tinted goggles prevent all eye-based genjutsu that would work on Akaritori. The goggles have a powerful zoom function that allow Akaritori to view targets in focus from approximately a mile away.
Appearance: A set of white “binoculars” that constantly cover Akaritori’s eyes. The binoculars are made of a white plastic, with tinted black rectangles where her eyes are. They are not particularly thick, only about an inch, but she is never seen without them.
Akaritori carries a set of Daishō.
Akaritori carries apt supplies of traditional ninja tools.[/COLOR]【
Kekkei Genkai】
[COLOR="Silver"]Name of the Kekkei Genkai: Hokori no Exae [Pride of Exae]
Type of Kekkei Genkai: Yagamiton (Light Release)
Clan: N/A, Unique to Akaritori and several others born in Akaritori’s generation.
Rank: A-S
Description: The Hokori no Exae is an odd kekkei genkai offering the user access to a realm of supercharged and condensed light. This realm of light is not fully accessible to any user of the Hokori no Exae, but instead allows the users to “bleed” the light from it, infusing it into their bodies and creating areas suffused with large amounts of this light. This light has various properties, but as it is supercharged a small amount is very bright, often causing users of the technique to glow. The main ability of this light is that users of the Kagayaki are able to transfer the powerful light into other forms of energy - namely Kinetic energy, Heat energy and Electrical energy. The Hokori no Exae is typically manifested as a set of angelic wings, as is the case with Akaritori and has been known to give the user a Halo as well, which is often seen as an exertion of energy - like a second form of the Kekkei Genkai. The user is only able to access this realm of light via special seals, however, and if they wish to create an area of light they must clearly mark the area with seals.
Users of the Hokori no Exae find that they are much stronger than the average person, and, in fact, than most ninja due to the immense light energy running through their bodies that is converted to other energies, which passively trains their muscles as if they are constantly working out, and thus gives them incredible taijutsu ability.
Weakness: Requires seals to activate outside of the Yagami no Hagai.[/COLOR]【

【
Custom Jutsu】
[COLOR="Silver"]
Name of Jutsu: Yagami no Hagai [Wings of Light]
Rank: C
Range: Personal
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
User[s]: Akaritori
Element Affinity [If Applicable]: Yagamiton [Light Release]
Description: The Yagami no Hagai are a series of complex seal tattoos on Akaritori’s back that constantly draw light energy from the Kagayaki’s Realm of Light and bind it into 8 wings on her back. The wings are in two sets of four. Use of the wings is necessary for Akaritori’s light based attacks while not in the Kōyōkū. The wings naturally recharge over time, and require five seconds per wing to recharge. Only one wing may recharge at a time.
Weakness: N/A
Name of Jutsu: Teiden Ken [Blackout Blade]
Rank: C
Range: Melee range
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu/Kenjutsu
User[s]: Akaritori
Element Affinity [If Applicable]: Yagamiton [Light Release]
Description: By converting a sum of Light Energy to kinetic energy quickly, Akaritori can remove all light within a ten foot sphere around her and convert it instantly to kinetic energy, giving her an extremely fast slash with her Jian that is difficult to avoid and carries a lot of strength. The slash is very difficult to avoid due to the fact the enemy, if they are in ten feet [which is highly likely] is unable to see for the duration of the slash. The light is constantly converted until the slash ends. The kinetic energy is also applied to Akaritori’s light-infused muscles, causing her to become much speedier for the duration of the slash. Requires two wings of the Yagami no Hagai, unless in the Kōyōkū. Additionally, Akaritori's speed is even greater in the Kōyōkū.
Weakness: Interpret it yourself.
Name of Jutsu: Hōsha Ken [Radiant Sword]
Rank: C
Range: 10 feet.
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
User[s]: Akaritori
Element Affinity [If Applicable]: Yagamiton [Light Release]
Description: Much like the Teiden Ken, except opposite. Akaritori channels energy through her Jian and floods an area of 10 feet diameter with light to blind and disorient her enemies, and then converts all of the light used to blind the victims into kinetic energy, creating an extremely fast slash with her Jian that is difficult to avoid and carries a lot of strength. The slash is very difficult to avoid due to the fact the enemy, if they are in ten meters [which is highly likely] is unable to see for the duration of the slash. The kinetic energy is also applied to Akaritori’s light-infused muscles, causing her to become much speedier for the duration of the slash. Expends two wings of the Yagami no Hagai initially, and another if Akaritori wishes to empower her slash.
Weakness: Interpret it yourself.
Name of Jutsu: Kōjin: Kagayaki o Kussetsu [Refract the Radiance: Lightblade]
Rank: C
Range: 10 feet.
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu/Kenjutsu
User[s]: Akaritori
Element Affinity [If Applicable]: Yagamiton [Light Release]
Description: By drawing light from the Kagayaki into the Jian, Akaritori can cause it to refract the light and glow much more fiercely than normal. Upon striking an enemy with her Jian, extra damage will be dealt and one of the Yagami no Hagai’s wings will be restored. The strike may only be performed while at least two wings are missing. The strike will restore a wing if it is blocked, but not if it is dodged, and will disperse after the attack is dodged.
Weakness: Interpret it yourself.
Name of Jutsu: Jikan no Amime; Unmei no Hineri [A Stitch in Time; Twist of Fate]
Rank: C
Range: N/A, Passive.
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
User[s]: Akaritori
Element Affinity [If Applicable]: Yagamiton [Light Release]
Description: While in the Realm of Light, Akaritori can passively absorb a large amount of light energy, allowing her to use any one technique that would require the Yagami no Hagai without actually possessing them. This is most effective with Teiden Ken or Hōsha Ken, increasing the speed she moves at.
Weakness: Interpret it yourself.
Name of Jutsu: Kōyōkū [The Shining Void]
Rank: B
Range: Within the nine Yagami Seals.
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu/Fuuinjutsu
User[s]: Akaritori
Element Affinity [If Applicable]: Yagamiton [Light Release]
Description: By inscribing nine Yagami Seals on the ground in a circle, Akaritori can bring forth a sphere of light from the Realm of Light within the circle of seals, allowing her full access to a significant amount of her super-charged light. This allows for the use of more powerful techniques, and makes her existing techniques more powerful. Requires the nine Yagami seals. Yagami seals only exist for ten minutes, and can only fill an area of up to 100 square feet with light.
Weakness: Interpret it yourself.
Name of Jutsu: Teiden Kyū [Blackout Sphere]
Rank: B
Range: 10 feet.
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu/Kenjutsu
User[s]: Akaritori
Element Affinity [If Applicable]: Yagamiton [Light Release]
Description: Much like the Hōsha Kyū, Akaritori creates a sphere of energy, but this sphere forces kinetic energy inwards and completely removes light from the area. Everything inside the sphere is pulled towards Akaritori’s central location but this is a one-time sharp “push”. Akaritori may also create a number of thrusts with her Jian by expending 10% of her chakra, instead focussing the “general” area of kinetic energy into a series of sharp series of thrusts that act much like extra blades. Requires two wings of the Yagami no Hagai, unless in the Kōyōkū.
Weakness: Interpret it yourself.
Name of Jutsu: Hōsha Kyū [Radiant Sphere]
Rank: B
Range: 10 feet
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu/Kenjutsu
User[s]: Akaritori
Element Affinity [If Applicable]: Yagamiton [Light Release]
Description: Akaritori converts the energy of two wings to a sphere of sheer kinetic force, and bolsters it with her chakra [5%] via the Jian. Immediately, everything within Hōsha Kyū is pushed back 10 feet [assuming it can be affected by kinetic energy]. The execution of this move is a circular slash with the diamond jian, which instantly causes the move to be used. Requires two wings of the Yagami no Hagai, unless in the Kōyōkū.
Weakness: Interpret it yourself.
Name of Jutsu: Hōshaha no Kyūzō [Radiant Wave Surge]
Rank: A
Range: 45 feet.
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu/Kenjutsu
User[s]: Akaritori
Element Affinity [If Applicable]: Yagamiton [Light Release]
Description: Akaritori looses a cylinder of sheer light at the opponent, 10 feet in diameter. This cylinder of light is centered on her Jian, and upon reaching an enemy is converted into sheer heat energy. This is equivalent to one of the most powerful Katon techniques: Amaterasu in sheer heat, however, does not last nearly as long. For 10% of her chakra, Akaritori may also convert some of the energy to kinetic energy, slightly lessening the heat power of the technique but simultaneously causing it to knock back whatever it hits at least 25 feet. When used in the Kōyōkū, the blast radius is doubled and the kinetic impact is used without chakra. Uses three wings of the Yagami no Hagai.
Weakness: Interpret it yourself.
Name of Jutsu: Yagami no Yoroi [Light Release Armour]
Rank: A
Range: Personal
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
User[s]: Akaritori
Element Affinity [If Applicable]: Yagamiton [Light Release]
Description: By transferring energy from two of her eight Yagami no Hagai, Akaritori can use the light energy to create electrical energy within her nervous system like the Lightning Release Armour, empowering the synapses and generally the musculature of the body while it is active and surrounding the user in an ethereal creamy-white glow. The user’s reflexes and speed are empowered while using the Yagami no Yoroi, but get no defensive bonuses. Yagami no Yoroi does not use the wings, merely restricts the user from using them while the technique is active.
Weakness: Interpret it yourself.
Name of Jutsu: Hikari ga Shōzon [Burnt by the Light]
Rank: A
Range: Personal - Requires Touch.
Type of Jutsu: Nintaijutsu
User[s]: Akaritori
Element Affinity [If Applicable]: Yagamiton [Light Release]
Description: Akaritori converts the energy of the Kagayaki into sheer heat upon striking an enemy with her body or Jian, acting as if the hit had been sheathed in B-Rank flames. These hits can leave second degree burns that will advance to third degree burns in 24 hours if left untreated, and are exceptionally painful.
Weakness: Interpret it yourself.
Name of Jutsu: Shukuchi [Reduced Earth]
Rank: A
Range: Close Range - Up to 10ft.
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
User[s]: Akaritori
Element Affinity [If Applicable]: Yagamiton [Light Release]
Description: Akaritori expends two wings of the Yagami no Hagai to project a trail of light 10 feet in front of her and 10 feet behind her. For the next 5 seconds, Akaritori is able to dash to anywhere on the trail of light, taking 0.1 seconds. She is able to, 5 seconds after dashing, project a second trail of light within 10 feet of her and dash to anywhere on that. Has a 120 second cooldown.
Weakness: Interpret it yourself.
Name of Jutsu: Asaborake no Shihō [Light of Dawn’s Justice]
Rank: A
Range: Medium - Long
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
User[s]: Akaritori
Element Affinity [If Applicable]: Yagamiton [Light Release]
Description: Akaritori coalesces the light of 6 wings of the Yagami no Hagai into a halo placed behind her back, and dashes forwards at a speed of 15 feet per second. She will strike the first physical object encountered (but can choose should she encounter multiple at once) and will consume the halo of light behind her, creating a massive blast of kinetic energy. The energy can strike from any direction, but it is always in the vague shape of a massive sword (and can be seen faintly as traces of light remain). The power of the strike is extremely high, and unprotected targets will almost definitely find themselves bisected.
Weakness: Interpret it yourself.
Name of Jutsu: Yagami no Kusari [Chains of Light]
Rank: A
Range: Close Range - Up to 10ft.
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
User[s]: Akaritori
Element Affinity [If Applicable]: Yagamiton [Light Release]
Description: By pooling light from the Kagayaki’s Realm of Light into a small area, Akaritori can convert it to kinetic energy perfectly matching any external output of kinetic energy that the victim[s] in the area make[s]. This renders them completely unable to move, but does not affect the internal use of kinetic energy e.g. the beating of the heart. This uses the Yagami no Hagai at a constant rate, sacrificing one wing for every three seconds she keeps the opponent still. In the Kōyōkū, this rate increases to six seconds per wing.
Weakness: Interpret it yourself.
Name of Jutsu: Jikan no Amime; Kahō no Ayamari [A Stitch in Time; Slip of Fortune]
Rank: A
Range: Personal
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
User[s]: Akaritori
Element Affinity [If Applicable]: Yagamiton [Light Release]
Description: By temporarily forcing herself into the Kagayaki’s Realm of Light for up to two seconds, Akaritori is able to completely cease to exist in this world, much like space/time ninjutsu. This is possible only with the exertion of a large amount of energy, however, and Akaritori must sacrifice use of her Yagami no Hagai for thirty seconds in order to use this ability. This does not apply in the Kōyōkū, and Akaritori can stay in the Realm of Light for six seconds at a time within the Kōyōkū.
Weakness: Interpret it yourself.
Name of Jutsu: Chikaiki [Oathbreaker]
Rank: A
Range: 40 feet
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
User[s]: Akaritori
Element Affinity [If Applicable]: Yagamiton [Light Release]
Description: Akaritori suffuses the energy of four wings into her sword and plunges it into the ground. Immense cracks appear through the earth, seeping searing hot golden light, guided by Akaritori’s will. After a second, all of the cracks form, and the earth within a 40ft diameter circle is cracked and splintered, and then completely uprooted, sending shards of earth flying in every direction. There is a small circle around Akaritori in which the earth is not broken, and she is spared from harm.
Weakness: Interpret it yourself.
Name of Jutsu: Mayu o Nenshō [Burning Cocoon]
Rank: A
Range: Personal
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
User[s]: Akaritori
Element Affinity [If Applicable]: Yagamiton [Light Release]
Description: Akaritori converts the energy of one wing per three seconds into a blisteringly hot cocoon of light around her. The cocoon will expend its energy in order to repel attacks by opposing them with equal kinetic energy, and anybody who comes within five feet of the cocoon will be rapidly burned, getting third degree burns if they stay for more than two seconds. Akaritori cannot move while in the Burning Cocoon.
Weakness: Interpret it yourself.
Name of Jutsu: Kagayaki o Hakobu [Channel the Radiance]
Rank: S
Range: 10 feet.
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
User[s]: Akaritori
Element Affinity [If Applicable]: Yagamiton [Light Release]
Description: Akaritori channels the sheer radiance of the Kagayaki, restoring her Yagami no Hagai but expending two of her wings for one week. This channeling of sheer radiance allows Akaritori to flood the area around her with the Kagayaki’s light, immediately blinding and disorienting all enemies and allies in the area and granting her one use of any technique that would require any uses of the Yagami no Hagai. Yoake, Hikari no Hikari is also empowered by this jutsu, giving it a much stronger and more permanent glow for the remainder of the battle. This increases its cutting power drastically due to the light being converted to Kinetic energy upon hitting an object with force. This technique has a 20 minute cooldown, and a 25% of maximum chakra cost.
Weakness: Interpret it yourself.
Name of Jutsu: Shōten [Ascension]
Rank: S
Range: Personal
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
User[s]: Akaritori
Element Affinity [If Applicable]: Yagamiton [Light Release]
Description: Akaritori removes all of her wings while inside the Kōyōkū, ascending to her Arbiter Supremus form. As the Arbiter Supremus, all of Akaritori’s attacks that utilise Masayoshi or the Kagayaki’s light are empowered so much that they will incinerate everything they hit, and while people are not initially cremated instantly, they will be burned extremely badly and will be reduced to ash in a second hit. Akaritori can only ascend for sixty seconds at a time, and only once every twenty-four hours. While ascended, Akaritori’s body becomes pure light, and she may fly upon six angelic wings for the duration. She becomes resistant to all damage, and can teleport up to ten feet in any direction at will once every two seconds. Being struck by the blade directly while Akaritori is ascended will result in immediate cremation unless the victim is particularly resistant to damage.
Weakness: Interpret it yourself.
Name of Jutsu: Kahan no Kasō [Riverside Cremation]
Rank: S
Range: Variable
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
User[s]: Akaritori
Element Affinity [If Applicable]: Yagamiton [Light Release]
Description: Akaritori, while Ascended, stabs Masayoshi into the ground, leaving it there for up to sixty seconds. Whenever Akaritori collects the sword, and enemy tries to remove the sword, or sixty seconds have passed, all objects and people within a 10 feet circle are incinerated instantly. The range of Kahan no Kasō is multiplied by the number of seconds it has been charging.
Weakness: Interpret it yourself.
Name of Jutsu: Fukushū no Exae [Vengeance of Exae]
Rank: S
Range: Vast as all fuck.
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
User[s]: Akaritori
Element Affinity [If Applicable]: Yagamiton [Light Release]
Description: Akaritori pours all but the energy she needs to survive into her sword and slams it into the ground, releasing a sphere of light outwards that travels a distance proportional to the amount of energy poured into the technique (on average at least a mile in radius). The sphere of light takes on the effect of the Dust Release, using sheer energy to pulverise all materials that it encounters to dust. Any materials that cannot be pounded to dust are burned into ashes by the sheer power of the technique. If Akaritori is not rescued within a day of using the technique (as she will inevitably fall unconscious after using it) she will die.
Weakness: Interpret it yourself.
