Sakana shot Shirayuri a quick glance when she spoke to him. Honestly, he didn't even care that she called him fish. That was his name after all. “Yeah,” he answered her, before looking away and into the distance, trying to figure out just who the hell was pulling this irresponsible and unfunny prank. “Seems that way.” His question as to who it had been had been answered not even a minute later, when Kaido appeared, and applauded them. As if it had even been a real challenge. “Tsk,” he sissed at his words when Kaido has disappeared. “What a cunt.” Never the less, he followed the order, and left before Shirayuri could say anything more annoying than what she already had.

Sakana appeared at the hero monument as Kaido had asked, but didn't sit down when he nodded at the stone. Instead, he just stood next to a stone and crossed his arm. He'd be damned if Kaido was gonna tell him exactly what to do and what not to do. He wasn't a dog. He didn't get made chunin because he was so good at not making choices on his own. When the folder was thrown at him, he caught it without too much trouble, quickly reading through it and making sure he got the details right. Well, most of them anyway. “Ehh, some lame scroll mission, blabla, Kirigakure. Easy enough,” he noted, still glancing at some of the mission details while he put a finger to his mouth, biting on nails to help himself focus.

When Kaido indicated that it was time to move out, Sakana looked at his two teammates briefly. Shirayuri was going to be a pain, but he knew what to expect from her. This other girl, he wasn't so sure. She was also the only one that got nicked by the clones. “Oy.. you okay? Seems like you got hurt,” he said, not particularly polite about it. But then again, Kaido had already fucked off so there was no reason to pretend they were best friends.

“Eh, whatever. Small wounds won't matter. I'm gonna go there - don't really have anything I need to collect. See you guys there - don't be late, Shirayuri..”

And with that said, he casually walked off, putting the mission folder in his pocket, all nice and rolled up. He didn't seem particularly concerned with the mission - perhaps something about his casual attitude seemed off to Shirayuri and Nō, but whatever. He didn't really care about that either. He just wanted to earn that fat reward for the mission. A whole 5000 Ryo. That was a lot of ramen.

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Ira's comments as to her strategy made her raise an eyebrow. Not only was he way too low of a rank to even consider offering his opinion on anything at all unless she asked him, his suggestion was also remarkably stupid. “Excuse me for saying so,” she said with a hint of snark in her words, clearly not wishing to excuse herself at all. “But I have the nagging feeling that we won't be ambushed from behind by the eight tails himself, and I strongly doubt anyone will be stupid enough to ambush the Hokage.” She crossed her arms briefly before turning to Mu, who had an equally stupid suggestion. Was the Sarutobi clan really the clan that created this village? It seemed more like they had somehow managed to stumble upon a crater in the ground and named it 'Konohagakure.'

“Can you two shut up already?” she said loudly, ignoring his suggestion to go eat. By the Sage, these guys were really top-notch idiots. And they weren't even the kind that had brawns but no brain, no, they were without brawn or brain. “If you wanted to be a part of 'Team Daycare' that does fun day-to-day activities like drawing, making things out of clay and playing in the sandbox, you shouldn't have become a shinobi. Are we clear?”

She then turned to Dio, who was giving off snark towards Ira, and although it wasn't wholly unwarranted, what with their no-can-do attitudes, she still found herself annoyed at him. “And from now on, none of you will offer me suggestions about anything. You will do as I say, period. This is a B-rank mission that we should've labeled S-rank. Act like it. That's an order. So far, all of you three have been disgraceful to your clans. Make up for it in the mission - move.”

---

It would take some fifty minutes to an hour before they reached the area of operations. Although, this area was rather large, and so they'd have to rely on Dio to take care of the scouting for the most part. “Alright, we've reached the boundaries of the area we are to search. We're still in Konohagakure, so no need to worry just yet..” Her words were calm and collected, which was quite a difference from how she had been in the village. Despite her rather militaristic and authoritarian approach to leadership, she seemed to make a switch once she was actually in the field. That was not to say she'd tolerate their 'input' all of a sudden, but she seemed less inclined to make these three out for idiots.

“Dio, use your byakugan and begin looking around. Ira, Mu, keep your eyes open. Dio can't look everywhere at once.” They'd take a momentary break at a small clearing, allowing Dio, Ira and Mu to carefully scout the direct surroundings. It would be quite clear that there wasn't anything here, and as soon as that became clear, they'd move to the next spot that Mawari had carefully memorized. Although it seemed like she was visiting random spots throughout the forest, there seemed to be some kind of logic behind them. She avoided the Kumogakure borders for as long as she could while following the trails of the reports she had received.

After an hour of searching, they inevitably had to cross the Kumogakure border. While this was not a crime in and of itself, it was .. at the very least sensitive to do so, especially when you were the Hokage. And especially when you were looking for the Eight-tails, a tailed beast that has long been claimed by Kumogakure to be 'their beast,' in whatever capacity they could claim it as such. And while Konohagakure had some brief interactions with the nine tailed beast, they had never made any type of move to claim that beast. Mawari had a better plan - capturing the eight-tails would not only give Konohagakure access to one beast, it also took away the beast from Kumogakure, severely diminishing their military power, and perhaps scaling the balance in Konoha's favour.

Although she obviously didn't quite expect the two chunin and the genin to understand that.

---

With a sigh Mawari placed herself down on the rock, squatting down and balancing herself by placing one of her hands on the rock, while her other was placed over her eyes to shield them from the sun. They were at the final spot now - the last report had come from here, and it looked to be a dead end. The spot was a cliff side overlooking a gigantic lake, which was far bigger than any lake in Konohagakure, and on a misty day, could easily be mistaken for an ocean for how large it was. “Dio, look over the lake one more time. If it's not here, then we won't find that damn octopus today.”

Although it would seem like there was nothing on the lake at first, if Dio paid close enough attention with the Byakugan, he would soon see .. what seemed to be 'bubbles' of chakra floating upwards from the depths of the lake. It was subtle and faint at first, but then became more and more noticeable, to the point where Mawari herself began to feel the presence of the strong, potent chakra. And merely a few minutes later, even Mu and Ira might've began feeling the chakra.

It was a strange sensation to feel a chakra so strong. “It.. seems like we're too late with running away. I suggest you three get ready for... well, death.” She slowly stood up from her squatting position, stepping forwards with one foot onto the very edge of the stone, looking over the water. In the water, a dark figure began rising, the water began being displaced, before two horns rose from the water, one of which was missing a piece.

“Oh, you remember Senhime? Her family claims that they're descendants of this beasts. Seems like that story about the horn being chopped off by some crazy shinobi might be true after all.” Her words were spoken without her looking back, as the purple mass slowly rose from the water, looking around and spotting the four shinobi quite quickly. That beast was gigantic - towering over the shinobi, perhaps by a few hundred meters. It seemed to be observing the four shinobi - for now. Mawari seemed equally occupied with observing the hulking beast. Just what was it going to do? “Perhaps you three should get some distance, just in case. Try going to the woodline we came from.”

Naruto: Years of Winter - an Alternate Universe

@Masaki Haruna @ryoryoryoken I'm not Ryo, but I mean, to spin these silk strings in theory doesn't mean they have chakra in them.

But since she gets a sensory field from them, they would have chakra in them (the 'detection' occurs from the feelings of her chakra being broken by movement, not the actual breaking of string, though one could say they are one and the same.) and thus the Sharingan can see them.

That's purely based off of what we've seen in the anime though, and that's the way to go. That said, not sure that 'seeing' the strings will offer you an advantage, since Senhime can theoretically string up so much silk that you have to break it.

Psychology & History

_{From detailed inspection and investigation by ANBU and medical personnel}

“I-I'm a monster!”

"No, Shizuka, we're a monster. Like it or not, we're a package deal. You and Me, now and forever. Isn't that great!"

| Ｐｅｒｓｏｎａｌ ｂｉｏｇｒａｐｈｙ: |

Shizuka was born to a pair of nomadic mercenary ninja, ones who didn't belong to any village, doing odd jobs for the shady companies that wouldn't be accepted by or couldn't afford the price of hiring ninja from an actual village. They lived off the land when there is permafrost, there isn't a whole lot that grows ya know, traveling between the elemental nations as they saw fit and doing their best not to get in the way of any hidden village shinobi, so as not to draw their ire.

Both of them were very skilled Shinobi, especially for ones that had never been apart of a hidden village, and when Shizuka was born, they were considering doing a few bigger jobs in order to settle down in some small village, living out the rest of their days in peace with their son and leaving the bloody business of being a shinobi behind them. However, it was not to be. The winter blew when Shizuka was 4 years old, and as it continued to rage around them, the family was soon burdened by their decision to stay outside of any village. They often struggled to find good shelter in those years, and the villages began clashing and fighting with others and each other in small skirmishes over any and all resources. Those first 4 years saw to the end of his mother, who often went without eating anything his father had caught of managed to bargain/steal for in order to make sure that Shizuka would live. After that, while the year long blizzards had died down, the cold remained, and in this cold he was hardened by his father, taught skill that he was never meant to learn and forced to do things a child shouldn't have to do. Gross.

With little resources, and wars beginning to rage around them, father and son turned to a life of banditry to make ends meet Why would Konoha, arguably one of the two most noble villages (Iwa being the other in our AU) even take in a (former) bandit? KG or not?, as well as attacking caravans, small village, and whatever else they could get their hands on, even forming a small group of missing-nin around them in order to better there chances of survival. His father grew somewhat infamous across the elemental nations during war time as the 'Crimson Shadow', a reference to both the many people he had ended on most sides and his penchant for stealth and deception. The only nation that he didn't target was Konoha, not out of any reverence or respect, but due to the danger of the Hyuuga clan and their all-seeing eyes. That still doesn't explain how he got around the political fallout if anyone ever discovered Konoha took in a infamous criminal

Shizuka, with the help of one of the missing-nin that gathered in his father's small band, discovered that he held a talent for Fuinjutsu, and immediately used this to his advantage to help his father. The death if his mother, and the understanding that it was his fault no matter what his father told him, had made Shizuka do his best ever since to pull his own weight and make himself useful, despite his young age. He worked hard to make sure that all of his father's weapons were well-taken care of, was diligent in his training, and often played the part of bait during ambushes in order to lull people into a false sense of security. While usually relegated to the back line when possible, Shizuka is no stranger to death, having made his first kill at ten edge, and never once hesitating in the execution of those that his father preyed upon. However, this is not without consequence, as deep down, Shizuka is a gentle soul and often has nightmares about the people that he has killed, though he tried to hide this from his father so he wouldn't have to worry

It was around his 11th birthday that he began to here the voices, soft whisperings that spoke in multitudes, awakening with him dark, violent urges. At completely random times, he'd suddenly black-out, only to come to after his father pulled him off of some other member of their group. His father never seemed to want to speak about it, but start having Shizuka see the Fuinjutsu expert of their group to look him over from time to time, sending the young boy away whenever it came time to discuss what had been discovered about him. Eventually, Shizuka's father came to him with the eye-patch, which seemed covered in fuinjutsu scribbles, and had Shizuka wear it at all times, never explaining to him why this had to be done or what was happening. he matches the hokage sweet

While the voices never went away, they did become easier to ignore, and he stopped having violent episodes. However, he still felt dark, urges from time to time, sudden bouts of aggression that he couldn't explain that struck him like a bolt from the blue. Another odd thing that came around on his 11th birthday, however, is that he stopped getting cold, and ceased to feel hunger as he did before. He'd often feel likehe could eat, and did when ever the others sat down for a meal, but he never felt the gnawing pain that he'd often come to expect. He never told his father about this, not wanting to make the man worry about him.

Two years after this, his life would take a drastic turn as one day when his father fought with a 4 squads of Kumo shinobi who had tracked him down thanks to one of their own ratting the man out in exchange for the large bounty Kumo had placed on his head. Most of the men who stood by his side, knowing that they had little chance against this force without the element of surprise, were quick to flee from the battle, leaving only a group of five behind. The battle that followed was vicious, and Shizuka, hidden away in a small hole dug nearby for look-out duty, could only watch in horror as one by one, they were taken down. In this moment, as he saw close friends cut down, he felt hatred and vengeance boil up in the pit of his stomach. And as his father tried his best to fight them off, Shizuka could tell that he was spent. When the final blow was struck, ten Kumo shinobi had been slain, 6 of them by his father's hand.

Struck with grief, rage, and fear that he was soon to be next as the two wounded Kumo-nin began to search the camp for possible survivors, Shizuka felt the urges bombard him like never before. He wanted these men dead, and he wanted to do it with his own hands. Images of all the ways he could end their lives poured into his head, each bloodier and more disturbed then the last. As it began to reach a boiling point within him, the eyepatch around his eye suddenly seemed to burn him, chakra flaring around it wildly, causing the Kumo-nin to zero-in on his position. With a roar that didn't sound it could come from a human mouth, Shizuka tore the eyepatch from his face and his world turned red.

When he came to, the first thing Shizuka noticed was that he was completely covered in blood and gore. It didn't take him long to realize the source of this, as the heads of the two kumo-nin lay at his feet, staring up at him with cold, dead eyes. Even more horrifying, however, was the fact that despite his abject horror and disgust for what he must have done, a large part of him felt elated amidst all of this savagery, and was eager to search for more oyyyyy i just cut myself on this edge.. It took all the will power he had to get himself back to the hole, quickly finding and reattaching the eye-patch seal. As the urges faded back into the a low throbbing pulse in his core, Shizuka felt the shock of everything that just happened, the realization that everyone he could possibly turn to was murdered and that he'd likely die or go insane on his own, all he could do then was curl up into a ball and cry. And so he did, breaking down into a blubbering, pathetic wretch as his grief took him, before he finally couldn't take it anymore and passed out.

When he woke up, he found himself tied up in-front of a group of leaf shinobi that had been on their way back from a mission when they came upon the scene, instantly recognizing the face of the 'Crimson Shadow', as well as his son. He was interrogated about what happened, the shinobi seeming particularly interested in what happened to the two kumo-nin, though the grisly scene obviously disturbed them a bit. In the end, it was decided to bring him back to the village under constant watch, in case he showed signs of another 'incident'. 'haha guys lets bring this 11 year old kid hat killed two strong kumogakure nin who just killed a supposedly powerful rogue nin. i mean. what can go wrong right???'

When they came to the village, he was instantly locked up in a cage, many restraints placed upon him. And cautiously, the eye-patch was removed despite his objections. At first nothing seemed to happen, but then his body started to convulse and twitch, a scream tearing it's way out of his throat. However, he suddenly went silent and limp in the middle of his outburst, causing some to think he was dead. Then Yürei looked up at them with a wide, sinister grin. What followed afterwards was a quick, if somewhat tense conversation where Yürei explained his only two desires in the world: to kill anyone who stands against him, and to live. And so, he told those interrogating him that if they wished to use him and Shizuka as a weapon, then he'd be glad to oblige if it meant he got to kill every now and then.

It would be sometime before they was allowed out of their cage doesn't sound like something I'd do, and even longer before their presence was ever made known to the village. The eye-patch was studied and replicated so that it could not only be re-made if something happened to the other one, but also improved upon as needed. A jonin was selected to test the skills of both Shizuka and Yürei, which was around mid-to-high genin level for Shizuku and possibly Chunin level for Yürei given his ability to fully take advantage of his Kekkei Genkai, given their previous experience with battle. What really made them valuable, however, was the Kekkei Genkai they showed off, which made them particularly dangerous to the unwary, though the Jonin was able to handle them well enough once they figured out the trick.

The process took about a year and a half to complete, the higher-ups wanting o be sure that Shizuka could be properly utilized without endangering other ninja, as well as shoring up any gaps in his spotty education. However, this was joined by the end of the Winter, leading to more deliberation on whether or not the boy was needed. He was locked back up in his cage until about a month before present time, when they decided to let him into the forces proper. He was told to never remove the bandage without the permission of his Jonin Sensei, or else he'd face serious reprucussions, be sent back to his cage, and possibly be executed if the action had ld to the serious injury or death of any of his teammates. TBH, if anything, this story doesn't make much sense. not that i really give a shit. but I don't think any of our current jonins are equipped to handle him bar maybe Mawari herself. So if push comes to shove, Mawari will lord over him.

| Ｆａｍｉｌｙ ｂｉｏｇｒａｐｈｙ: |

The clan the Yoshida's belong to has no known family name, nor do they have any defined place in the world. They're spread all over the Elemental nations, so spread apart that calling them a clan is a bit of a stretch, as it's very unlikely that one sect knows interacts with any of the others, or if they even know about them. Shizuka's mother was one of the lucky few of the clan that didn't gain their Kekkei Genkai, though she was able to pass it on to her son.

Shizuka's greatest fear is simply losing control of himself and hurting someone who doesn't deserve it. Other than that, he finds it hard to find anything else particularly frightening or anything to truly aspire for. If he were to give voice to a dream, it'd probably be to have a dream again in the first place.

Combat Reports

_{From detailed reports from previous missions and academy sparring matches}

"I d-didn't ask for this kind of life, but if it helps me control Yūrei, then I've g-got to give it my best."

"Yeah, yeah, stop talking and just take off the stupid eye-patch already! I'm dying to spill some blood first hand!

| Ｆｉｇｈｔｉｎｇ ｓｔｙｌｅ: |

Shizuka is a mid-long range fighter, with more of a focus on supporting his allies then getting into the fray himself. His weapon of choice is a bow, and he's actually a pretty good shot with it. He's a bit lacking when it comes to just Ninjutsu, so he often tries to mix it with his other specialty, sealing, with admittedly mixed results. He avoids using his Kekkei Genkai offensively, mostly using it to cover and support his allies whenever possible. When it comes to close range, the only thing that keeps him from being defenseless is his Kekkei Genkai, shifting his limbs in order to better defend against his opponent while he tries to figure out a way to get back to a more comfortable distance.

Yüeri is a close-mid range fighter with a wild berserker fighting style, taking full advantage of his Kekkei Genkai to utterly decimate his opponents and rip them to pieces with both his augmented Taijutsu and some Ninjutsu-like attacks. He's very tough to put down, and somewhat hard to predict, despite the bluntness of his attacks, often coming up with tricky and sneaky ways to get the drop on his opponents as he tries to turn them into a thick red paste. He's not a team player, and while he can be reasoned with, he can't be trusted to follow through with any sort of plan before his bloodlust kicks in, making him more of an obstacle to plan around and guide rather than a teammate to work with.

Jugo's Kekkei Genkai: Sage Transformation

Ｄｅｓｃｒｉｐｔｉｏｎ

Shizuka and Yürei both have the ability to passively absorb Senjutsu chakra just for those others, this doesn't make him a sage or anything even remotely related to it. and use it in order to alter their bodies in a variety of ways, making them very unpredictable and dangerous opponents. This also gives them large reserves of chakra to draw on, as well as being able to increase their physical abilities by a large margin by entering a transformed state, along with being able to heal themselves by absorbing both chakra and flesh from their enemies as well.

The only thing that keeps Yürei in check is the eyepatch that his father made him wear. It regulates the influx of nature energy into his system and pushes a percentages of it out of the body, weakening both the Kekkei Genkai and his homicidal tendencies.

Ｓｔｒｅｎｇｔｈｓ

• High levels of physical ability
• Access to a powerful transformed state(Yürei Only)
• Enhanced healing factor and durability
• Capable of draining the life force and organic matter of others in order to heal themselves(Yürei Only)
• Unpredictable fight patterns
• Partial Body shifting and transformation(Shizuka can only do this with one part of his body at a time, and can't do anything to crazy without draining his reserves a good deal)

Ｗｅａｋｎｅｓｓｅｓ

• Random nigh Uncontrollable surges of bloodlust(Even with the eyepatch on, Yürei can suffer from this, though it's a bit more subdued) Not a weakness
• High levels of aggression when stressed Not a weakness
• Inability to work on a team(Yurei Only) Not really much of a weakness
• Berserker tendencies Not a weakness, repeats point 1/2
• Constant danger to everyone, including allies Not a weakness, repeats point 1/2/4
• Due to his constant and uncontrolled emissions of Nature chakra from his seal, he has a hard time hiding his presence, as it acts almost like a beacon to most Consider adding more actually, I just realized these above were more traits than weaknesses

Ｄｅｓｃｒｉｐｔｉｏｎ

By letting loose a short blast of air from their hands, Shizuka is able to launch himself in the opposing direction with considerable force. Can be used to move very quickly to either side or high up into the air as an evasive maneuver. This jutsu can also be enhanced through use of his Kekkei Genkai, funneling the blast of air through special air jets formed along his back. This could also allow him some degree of control in the direction he's launched in as well, allowing for more diagonal movements along with, in Yürei's case, very quick, short range charge towards the enemy if they attempt to get away from him. This is more or less the chakra-jet that Jugo has right? fair

This Jutsu can be used to either raise or lower the air pressure within an area drastically for a short period, causing a variety of effects such as Sleep, Nitorgen Expansion, and Cloud/Mist Condensation for decreasing the pressure and Disorientation, Blackouts, and Cloud/Mist dispersal for increasing the pressure. That's fine but it doesn't explain how it works. What, he just forms a handseal an magically the air pressure lowers??

Ｄｅｓｃｒｉｐｔｉｏｎ

Yürei shifts a part of his body to form a sharp sword blade, capable of clashing with and deflecting both regular blades and ones enhanced by chakra, though the latter can damage it. This blade is also what Yürei uses to enact his Cellular Regeneration Absorption jutsu, jabbing it into a foe in order to suck out their chakra. Unless the foe is incapacitated, he usually doesn't try to go for that much, but even a small amount of time can net him a noticeable amount of the victim's chakra. It needs a weakness. Lets say it makes him immobile because he has to keep the thing in him.

Activator Bow

A longbow with a special seal applied to it

Ｄｅｓｃｒｉｐｔｉｏｎ

This durable wooden bow is one of several that Shizuka has on hand with storage seals, up to 3 on his person at any time, and is able to hit almost any target he can see with them. Along the middle of the bow, where the arrows are drawn, their is an activator seal, which Shizuka uses intead of handsigns in order to activate the seals he places on his arrows. This allows him to continue fireing without stop, as the seal activates on a timer. This timer is determined by how long the shot is held against the activator, the longer the wait the longer it's held.

Seal Arrows and Regular Arrows

Ｗｅａｐｏｎ， ｔｏｏｌ， ｏｒ ｏｂｊｅｃｔ ｔｙｐｅ

Arrows that have special seals attached to them for added effects

Ｄｅｓｃｒｉｐｔｉｏｎ

In order to make the best of his skills, Shizuku has made a variety of special arrows, usually about 10 or so of each if he's had time to properly prep, which are each placed within their own respective storage seals that are placed along his body(so they don't get ripped apart when if he uses his Kekkei Genkai). His current types are:

• Explosive Arrows: These are just a smidgen stronger than explosive tags, but function just the same. The only tell-tale sign of the explosion is the sight of the shaft giving off small trails of smoke before it blows up
• Concussion Arrows: Similar to Explosive arrows, these ones have a large blast radius(not quite sure what a good one would be), but also do very little damage. Mainly used for disrupting the enemy by causing disorientation, as well as slight blow back if you're close enough. Preferably use a smoke grenade arrow, which makes more sense for disorienting than this, lol Use Wind Chakra

Most teams are still meeting up or in the process of getting to the mission location at the moment, so it's not late at all. @Angel Eyes

Naruto: Years of Winter - an Alternate Universe

Hmm... Ria's nothing like Sasuke.

I'd go for 3 instead then which Blade suggested cuz IMO Chuunin level, not that I'm pushing it. Since rule #1 never compare a canon character to an AU character which I think Hillan said or you said. Just as others have said, use common sense.

Ria is an AU and Sauce is canon, two different characters and different strengths and weaknesses . I have learned to not imitate the canon character. AU character is different but boundaries are still intact. Just because one can do more, doesn't make it entirely better than the original. Quality(The Sauce cuz Prodigy) > Quantity(Ria from the AU).

So I got 3 tips:
Gowi's "When to use it."
Blade in terms of rank.
Buddha's common sense.

It all adds up!

So yeah, I will go as 1 would tire her, 2 would tire her more, the 3rd would break her which leads to almost putting her out. In short, it all depends on how it is used from here on out. Make a 4th one and dies.... as to Kakashi's make a 3rd one and die.

If this is fine with you.

@Masaki Haruna

Chidori is an A rank jutsu. It's Ria's current max. Also, you're right that Ria is nothing like Sasuke - she's not as good as he is. So, no, 3 is too much. She'd be dead by then. Two is the max.

If something happens in the IC (like, your chakra gets refilled or so) then sure, she can make three.

@BuddhaWell, I was wondering something about the fact that he's constantly venting Nature Chakra while wearing the seal. Could most people sense that, or just thus in-touch with senjutsu? It's been awhile since I last watch Naruto and I forget the specifics of the natural energy. In my mind, it just melds back into the terrain that surrounds him easily and mostly discreetly, but that could be changed to give Shizuka another weakness.

@Raijinslayer

Perhaps for those that have mastered the art of manipulating natural chakra. Like a sage. Those I imagine draw power from nature in a calm and peaceful way (and thus it reverts to that states quite naturally too) even when they're venting chakra.

But since Jugo's entire thing was that he had no control, I imagine that for your character this would not be the case. So, yes, sure, lets say most people can sense his senjutsu chakra.

Another drawback could be intiated if the rules atround the Kekkei Genkai could be bent a little, namely him healing others using Cellular Regeneration Ejection. In the anime, Jugo could only seem to do this with Sasuke because of the curse seal, bjut I want to broaden that to others to further Shizuka's support role by enabling him to help either heal or at least stabalize people usung the technique. Of course, doing so means that, like Jugo, his physical state and appearance revert to that of his younger self until he's able to replace it, which he can only do as Yūrei.

@Raijinslayer

Uhhh, no. We're not making a super powerful taijutsu nin, who also has medical jutsu in his KG. That's too much, lol. I'm sure you understand. The addition of the first one (people sensing his chakra) is enough for me to say it's fine anyway. I'll do a full review if you can add that (and then mention me so I know you added it, that'd be swell dawg.)

Naruto: Years of Winter - an Alternate Universe

I know. But the how many times, is the more important factor. It's not like she can spam it. @Buddha

@Hillan I think you can help!

@Masaki Haruna

1, which would tire her. 2 if she's pushing it, but the two would likely almost put her out of commission.

Sasuke could do 2 at a near-chunin level (this was basically right before the exams) and he was a prodigy. So you should have 1, maybe 2 if she wants to push her luck. Just use common sense.

Except Sakura has a great powerset canonically.

@Gowi

A powerset that was only ever really put to effective use when she was controlled by a million year old hag from Sunagakure. Her one useful power is CES.

Honestly, Chidori is an overrated jutsu anyway.

@Asura

Assassin Kakashi:
'Let me make a technique that is silent, and one-hit kills enemies. It'll be a true assassination technique..'

Chidori:
KZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH (translates to Jutsu-language for 'look at me, I'm here, dodge this technique, please')

@Buddha@Hillan@RyoRyoRyoken Ah Shit! lol is this still open?

@Angel Eyes

I mean, homie, you have a tendency to flake out on roleplays in general (yes, mine too) so if you can promise to at least try not to flake, I can make an exception, but we're trying to make this last longer than a month. So,
yes we are open but think about it before you submit a CS.

@Masaki Haruna Let's just say that chidori was invented by the Uchiha clan head some 30 years ago. He's dead now. Technique got passed on.

@Raijinslayer I don't have a problem with the KG - it's canon, so I can't really argue against it. For now, all I have to say is that the benefits of the KG (strengths) don't really seem to weigh out against the weaknesses. The weaknesses are basically 'uh, yeah, I might roleplay as some savage berseker, but also.. uh, yeah. Nothing.' I'm gonna need something more concrete that others can exploit.
