<Snipped quote by Seraphicide>

Well, considering the size of the Jutsu and the advantage Renji gains once it's cast, It should probably take at least 2 posts minimum to cast. Unless you feel differently, in which case I'm happy to go longer.

In regards to dodging, the main things to dodge would be the spikes/fissures, though they aren't instantaneous attacks. If anything they're supposed to be used to catch an opponent off-guard in order to setup for another attack or jutsu. Therefore most, if not all, Chuunin-level ninja & above should be able to dodge them quite simply under completely normal circumstances. It's possible for an opponent to escape the crystallized area using whichever mobility/flight jutsu they prefer or by simply climbing any structure or tree that might populate the area.

Apologies for the delayed response.

Personal Data

History: Kyo's father was killed by Seijuro Nandate during the Second Great War. At the time, his mother was pregnant with him just as the war was about to end. His father gave his mother very specific instructions for how to raise Kyo. Upon birth he was sent to Kumogakure to a pair of foster parents that knew his father very well.

His father's reasoning for sending him to Kumogakure was simple: he feared that the war would not end in time and the genocide that was committed against the Uchiha would extend to his son so that a new generation of Uchiha would not grow up to rise against Iwagakure. It turned out that the war ended just before Kyo was born, so he never knew of the tribulations his clan went through. Most of the Uchiha were killed during the Second Great War, many of them collected by Seijuro Nandate and had their eyes harvested.

Kyo grew up free of the constraints of war. In Kumogakure, no one knew of his Uchiha origins. His identity was not made known, so he was raised without special treatment. While things came easily to him, he was always made to work for his achievements in Kumogakure. It was here where he was trained by a man who eventually became the Raikage, and though he initially showed an affinity for Fire Release, the man insisted he learned to use Lightning Release techniques in Kumogakure. The Raikage taught him the secret Black Lightning technique of Kumogakure, and taught him their secrets.

When his Sharingan manifested itself he was told the truth by his foster parents and sensei, that he was here on the order of his father. Upon learning this he was sent back to Konohagakure to live with the remainder of his clan, where he learned that his mother died during childbirth.

This is where Kyo's descent into isolation grew exponentially. With his mother gone and having never known a true bond with his clan, he buried himself in his work as a ninja, but never grew close with any of his squad. He focused on training himself and was one of the brightest Genin of his generation. Konoha gladly accepted him back into the village with open arms and touted the prodigy of the Uchiha clan. His Fire Release techniques blossomed as the remaining members of his clan fostered his training.

Kyo was focused on nothing but himself, honing his skills until he progressed beyond his years. That is until he met Senna. She was able to see through his disguise and touch on the parts of himself that he never showed anyone. At first this angered him and he teased her as a result of it to hide his own insecurities. This never bothered Senna as she knew the nature of people all too well and could always see the reasons behind why people acted the way they did.

And so he grew to know her, and eventually opened up to her. And slowly the two grew fond of each other. They were paired in the same squad with a boy named Mitsuki who was always the loudmouth prankster of the group. While Kyo despised his presence at first and loathed his flirtatious demeanor toward Senna, he eventually grew to love the kid and treated him like a little brother. The three of them went on missions together, became close with one another, and grew to love one another.

Although Kyo had experienced loss, he had never known the pain of War thanks to his parents' generation. That was all soon to change when one day his longtime friend Mizuki went missing on a simple reconnaissance mission.

Personality: Kyo is a very meticulous Shinobi. Details do not escape him easily. His observance knows no bounds. Over the years he has grown outwardly cold, mastering the art of hiding his emotions from others as a true Shinobi does. However, to those whom he carefully selects he will reveal his true self to. He is caring and soft, only hardened by the world around him. Through the years his skin has thickened to the point that his patience is not easily broken by the mind games of others.

However underneath his cold exterior he cares deeply for those close to him, albeit he chooses those close friends carefully as he knows that everything in this world is temporary, and seldom does he find someone worth the pain. Kyo has known great loss in his life, and this has molded him into a very cautious person in all aspects of life.

Combat Style: Kyo's combat style is not all too complicated. He does not focus on a singular method of combat but rather chooses to often sit back and let his opponent make the first move. He will analyze their strengths and weaknesses and devise a strategy from there, choosing from his skill set to see which best suits the situation.
Nature Release: Fire/Lightning

Jutsu

Jutsu List
All basic academy techniques
All D and C ranked Katon and Raiton techniques

Katon: Goryuka no Jutsu
Ryuen Hoka no Jutsu
Katon: Goenka
Katon: Goka Messhitsu
Katon: Goka Mekkyaku
Katon: Hosenka Tsumabeni

Generic Sealing - Seals tattooed on his wrists to summon his items and katana

Kokuangyo no Jutsu
Magen: Niju Kokomo Arazu no Jutsu
Magen: Kyo Tenchi-ten
Genjutsu: Sharingan

Kuroi Kaminari - All of Kyo's Raiton techniques are used with his Black Lightning
Raiju Tsuiga
Kuroi Kaminari - Nagashi
Jigokuzuki - At this time Kyo cannot use the one-finger nukite as he has not trained well enough with the technique yet
Kuro Raiton no Yoroi - While Kyo has the chakra control and chakra reserves to use this technique for hours, his inexperience with the technique and lack of physical stamina prevents him from using it for more than five minutes per day. However, Kyo utilizes a Black Lightning form of the Lightning Release Armor which makes him look like a total badass

Jutsu Name: Jigokuchitai no Jutsu (Hellzone Technique)
Jutsu Type: Nintaijutsu
Rank: B
Effective Range: 15m
Nature Type: Raiton
Description: Kyo strikes the ground either by smashing his fist into it or stomping on it. A surge of Black Lightning is released into the ground that destroys the earth and shocks anyone caught within it. This technique can be used instantly for a five meter version or charged for two seconds for the full effect. If charged for four seconds the range remains the same, but the devastation becomes much greater, destroying enough earth to make a massive hole in the ground.
Drawbacks: Fuuton techniques. Strict range. Anything airborne is virtually unaffected. Requires his Raiton no Yoroi to be active.

Jutsu Name: Makaze Sennuki (Devil Storm Corkscrew)
Jutsu Type: Nintaijutsu
Rank: A
Effective Range: Short-mid
Nature Type: Raiton
Description: Kyo pivots off one foot while leaping into the air, turning his body 540 degrees. During the spin his body becomes almost horizontal so that he brings down his back foot onto the opponent's body, commanding a generous following of Black Lightning down with him as he lands. Even if he misses, the danger of this technique lies in the amount of lightning brought down with him. Ten meters from where his kick lands outwards is struck by a blade of Black Lightning that cleaves through the earth, leaving a several meter deep scar in the ground.
Drawbacks: The user is left vulnerable during the spin not once, but twice as they must perform a full spin in the air and land with their back turned to their opponent. While dangerous for the user, the speed at which this technique is performed means that the he opponent must be observant enough to take advantage of this, and to find this weakness the first time the technique is used and to take advantage of it would be impressive.

Jutsu Name: Rising Dragon Thunder (Hiryuu Ikazuchi)
Jutsu Type: Nintaijutsu
Rank: A
Effective Range: Short-mid
Nature Type: Raiton
Description: Kyo throws his hips in a circle while leaping into the air and performs a 720 degree spin while kicking at the opponent three times, going from low to mid to high. If the first kick lands, it is fast enough to break their knees. The second kick aims for the midsection while the Third goes straight for the head, and the centripetal force generated by the third kick is enough to break the victim's neck. BUT WAIT THERES MORE. The deadliness of this technique comes not from the three kicks, but the absolute shitstorm of lightning they bring with them. Upon swinging his legs in a kicking motion the sharp strikes he utilizes produce blades of lightning all around his body in a hurricane of Black Lightning that cut all of those around him. The blades twist and churn for about ten meters around him and weaken as they extend past 3m but can still pierce skin and most armor at the 7m mark. Landing on the ground after using this technique destroys the earth around him for several meters.
Drawbacks: Like with the Corkscrew, his back is turned not once but twice during this technique. There is a small window during each spin to take advantage of, however one would also need a workaround for the spinning lightning. The main drawback is at the moment Kyo becomes fatigued and must temporarily deactivate his Raiton no Yoroi for thirty seconds after using this technique.

Weaponry

Weaponry: The seals on Kyo's wrists contain numerous shuriken, kunai, explosive tags and senbon. The each also are able to summon a sword to either hand, the swords specially made from chakra hardened steel which are made to channel chakra fluidly through the sword.

Miscellaneous: Kyo is considered an honorary brotha due to his time in Kumogakure.

Naruto: Revival

Normally a young Chuunin would be nervous with the towering Hokage addressing them, but not Senna. The young girl felt the Hokage's warmth and his own empathy for their situation matching hers. As he rested his hand upon her shoulder she felt at ease, even more so after he assured Kyo that he would not be going out into that forest alone. Gisho spoke kindly of the Akizakura, and even spoke of Namine. "Yes sir, I believe you're speaking of my mother. You trained her yourself when she was even younger than me. She tells me quite a bit about you."

Kyo on the other hand did not receive the Hokage's message as well as his comrade did. Despite this, he respectfully allowed the Hokage to finish and bowed his head when he was done speaking. "Yes, Hokage-sama." He did well to keep his emotions from reaching his face even though he resented the Hokage's decision. And with that Kyo took one last look at the Gisho before turning his back and walking out the door, not waiting for Senna to follow.

Senna, sensing Kyo's discontent for Gisho's reaction to his report, immediately turned and followed him out of the office with yet another concerned look. Once she followed him outside he was already almost twenty feet ahead of her and marching off, and not in the direction of his home. "You can't be serious right now?!" She yelled as she ran toward him, placing her hand on his shoulder and forcing him to turn and face her when he did not respond. "I'm not stupid Kyo, I don't know what you think you're doing but you're a fool to try and go back there right now!!" She spat at him.

Kyo just looked at her with his usual cold, emotionless expression. It wasn't like him to force this side of himself on her, because he knew she could always see through it. "This is not the job for some nameless squad of Shinobi that don't have a connection to or a care in the world for Mizuki. This is my cross to bare and I, and I alone, will be the one to bare it. If someone is going to go into that forest and die looking for our comrade, it will be me." He spoke solemnly and with abandon for any emotion that might have played a factor in talking himself out of going. He may have spoke like he was ready to die for this cause, but truth be told his overconfidence in his abilities led him to believe that he could actually save his friend if he were still alive somewhere.

Senna's eyes widened at Kyo's short-sightedness. For someone with eyes like his, he sure had a hard time seeing the big picture sometimes. "Well that's just so fucking noble of of you, isn't it Kyo Uchiha?! The genius boy dying a martyr for his comrade before he ever became anything bigger than himself! Well fuck you, Kyo!" She snapped at him, her eyes welling up with tears as she turned to storm away and let him go on his foolish rampage into certain death.

Kyo winced as she had hurt his ego, but in the process she released him from the strings of self pity that had been guiding him toward what would have been his demise. His guard dropped immediately as she turned to leave. His face softened, mouth opening slightly to begin to respond as he placed his hand on her shoulder to prevent her from leaving.

Before Kyo could retort to her words, Senna spun around with tears streaming down her face, smacking his hand off of her shoulder with force. This caught Kyo well off guard, taken aback by her brash actions. He knew her to get emotional with him even if she was normally level headed, but this was a passion seldom seen from her.

"If you go and get yourself killed for no fucking reason, who's gonna be here to take care of me?!" Her face was soaked with tears at this point. Any words that Kyo may have had were gone at this point. He was speechless to the reality of her words. His mouth was left hanging open slightly like a fool, and after a what seemed like a long moment of silence, of her looking to him anticipating his reaction, he now knew the gravity of the situation. He gathered himself up, his resolve hardening his expression and he looked her in the eyes. "I will always take care of you." He kissed her with a fiery passion that she had never seen from him, and after an eternity had passed all in a single moment, they parted lips and he held her under the moonlight in perfect serenity.

~

The sun kissed Senna's eyes as she awoke in Kyo's arms beneath a tree not far from the Hokage's office. She moved her hand to her forehead to shade herself from the light, and judged the time of day by the sun's position. She looked over to her lover and took in his innocent, sleeping face. ~He's so peaceful.. I want this moment to last forever... Why do we fight so hard to keep things the way they are?~ She allowed the moment to linger for just a little while longer, solemnly expressing how grateful she was for him.

Not a moment later she was shaking him by the collar of his shirt and screaming in his face. "Hey idiot you realize we're gonna be late for the stupid exams right?!" She pulled him back and forth with force to shake any notion of going back to sleep right out of him.

Kyo flailed back and forth as she swung him around like a children's doll, a spot of drool wagging around comically as his peaceful slumber was ever-so-gracefully stricken from him. He wiped his eyes and looked over to her with his coy little smirk and the charm that she grew to know so well. "Good morning to you too." He stood up and gathered himself, giving her a helping hand to her feet as well. "Sleep well?" He asked, giving complete abandon to the notion of being late for such an important event in their lives. He simply dusted the dirt off of his clothing and began a slow trot toward where the exam was being held.

As he helped her up she fell silent, a total 180 from how she had awoken him. "But.. we're late.." she whispered to herself as he made no motion to hurry to make sure they arrived on time to represent Konoha. She saw in him a complete disregard for the rules for her own sake. She knew fully well that he was enjoying every last second of serenity they had together before it would all be broken by the trials of war, or rather a condensed and kindergarten version of war supervised by the higher ups of all the villages. But make no mistake, this was war even in its most premature of forms, even if death was not the expectation, these were fully grown Shinobi ready to enter the highest levels of their respective villages. This was a true test of their character.

<Snipped quote by Seraphicide>

I mean, fire jutsu are the most bland of all jutsu in Naruto. Even looking at these two jutsu there's nothing that really sets them apart because they're both just essentially 'I shoot fire at you lol'. If I condensed it like such and made it into a custom jutsu, you'd basically end up with EXACTLY the same thing with a different name and 'it's not Madara's jutsu' and that honestly seems like a waste of time for both of us, hence I kept them in. Also, now it takes two slots, shows off his proficiency in ninjutsu as he's meant to be a ninjutsu duelist, where as if I made it into one custom jutsu it'd be exactly the same thing and offer way less exposition because it'd not be an established jutsu. It just feels like, to me, it'd take away a lot of exposition if I made it into, say 'Sakana's fire bomb' or something dumb, ESPECIALLY if it'd be the same thing.

Kinda hard to make fire jutsu more interesting than 'lol fire shoots in ur face xD!' imho. I can change it - I just think it'd be more work both for you and me for relatively little gain.

As for the sealing - I wanted to show off his devotion to fate, which to me could be showed by having a seal that activates upon death - he's gonna die one day according to fate and he'll never know why, but at least with a seal like this, he'd take down someone with him.

And because of that it doesn't really offer much because I'd have to let him die for it to do anything at all and even then it'd be plot related - because nobody is gonna stand there and let their character get sucked up by some random seal.

I figured that with the way seals are relatively unexplained, it could've just been placed on him as Sakana has no knowledge or expertise in sealing techniques. Could've just hired someone to do it or asked a favor from someone. And if the activator is death, he doesn't even need to activate it himself, and thus needs no expertise.

However, that's with sealing techniques being so random and unexplained that we're left to fill it in on our own as opposed to having a relatively clear idea of how they work.

Kyo watched the Hokage closely. During their few interactions he always cautiously studied the leader of their village, adorning his Hokage garb. ~This is the man who leads our village.. the man they say can be in two places at once..~ Kyo's gaze flittered over to Shinko over in the shadows before back to the Hokage. Senna stood a step behind Kyo, absentmindedly staring at the ground. She was only half-present in the room with them, the loss of Mizuki hitting her hard. She still could not feel his presence anywhere, even with her Kekkei Genkai. This loss was significant to her, Mizuki had been through a lot with her and Kyo, and maybe, just maybe, if she wasn't so invested in Kyo than Mizuki wouldn't have stormed off and he would still be there with them.

"..." Kyo could not bring himself to admit failure. He didn't take disappointment well, and it shamed him to return from a mission without a comrade, even if they did complete the mission. "We completed the mission.." he began with a tone of reluctance. "..two of the three bodies of the missing squad were found in the Forest of Death. They were murdered by another Shinobi judging by their wounds, not an animal or an accident. Despite finding them, during the mission one of our squad ran off on his own and before we knew it, he was gone. Our sensory-nin here, Senna, is of the Akizakura clan. Her sensory abilities are beyond measure. And yet, she tells me our comrades chakra just vanished without a trace. There was no trail to follow, Hokage-sama." Kyo explained. He hesitated for a brief moment before finishing his report. "If it were up to me, I would have stayed to find out comrade, however Senna picked up on a killing intent stronger than she had ever felt before... it scared her to the point of paralysis and so I made the call to return her to safety and report back what we learned." The guilt was evident in his next statement. "Hokage-sama... Words do not describe how sorry we are for being unable to successfully bring back our comrade with us.. and so, I will personally offer myself to go and look for him alone. I believe myself more than capable to handle this situation." Kyo's face shifted to a stern resolve. He obviously resented himself for leaving Mizuki out there and had to make amends for that, no matter how foolish it was of a decision.

"No Kyo, you can't!! You didn't feel what I felt! You'll die if you go out there!" Senna broke free from the chains of self pity as she heard the love of her life proclaim his foolish call to arms in order to save their comrade that may or may not even still be breathing. She looked over to Gisho with pleading eyes that begged for mercy. "Hokage-Sama you can't let him go! You can't let anyone in there, not tonight, not tomorrow for the exams, not until you figure out what's in that forest!! It's pure evil, I swear!" She pleaded with him, tears welling in her eyes. The love she had for Kyo was plain and obvious. She just lost a good friend, she knew he was dead, she wouldn't toy with the idea that he survived, not after what she felt. She only hoped the Hokage would listen and call off the Jonin exams and refuse Kyo's offer before someone else fell the same fate as Mizuki.

Renji Kurogama - Abyssal Onyx Mirror, how long does it take to crystallize an acre of land? Like how long does an opponent have to dodge this? Also specify that casting time in seconds or # of posts.

Uragiri Sakana - so he's a 16 year old Chuunin that knows both of Madara's A-ranked fire techniques? I'm not totally against the idea but I'm not totally sold on it either. And like is there a reason why he has an S ranked sealing technique with no other sealing knowledge? Again, I'm not totally against the idea but like sell me on it.

Hime Yuki - I think there were some limitations discussed on Consecutive Ice chains but otherwise accepted.

Rank: S

Personal Data

History: Seijuro was born into a clan with very low social status. They had no money and no name for themselves. His mother was a kind, caring woman who tried to show Seijuro as much love as she could, but she was a drug user and often neglected him without even realizing it. She would sometimes provoke his father, also a drug user but more of your classic alcoholic, who would continuously beat her into submission in front of Seijuro. His father was the most vile thing in existence in Seijuro's eyes. He would force his mother onto the bed and force her to give in to his desires every night when all she wanted was a reprieve from the nightly violence. She stayed for two reasons, one was for Seijuro's sake, and the second was because she was hooked on the drugs he would constantly supply her with.

The day came when Seijuro was seven years old where he had grown tired of his father abusing he and his mother. He had grown externally void of emotion where inside he was bitter and resentful toward both his drunken father and his neglectful mother for allowing this to go on. One day during a particularly bad fight between his parents, his father was on top of his mother who had once again been beaten to the ground, though his father did not stop this time. He was going to kill her. Seijuro, knowing love only from her albeit seldom, protected her out of instinct. Grabbing the closest weapon to him, a knife on the counter, he plunged it into his father's back, wanting nothing more than for him to die. His father fell to the floor, said he knife piercing his heart. His mother was crying and beaten to a bloody pulp. For a moment Seijuro stood lifeless, showing no emotion at all, no remorse for the killing of his father. He looked over at his mother, and for but a moment he felt sorry for her. Such a poor creature knew nothing but abuse her entire life, and while Seijuro was young, he could still see that the drugs and the drinking took precedence over taking care of him. He placed his hand on the knife in his father's back. His mother's eyes widened as she whispered to him, wondering what was going through her son's mind. For a brief moment he contemplated what he was about to do, was he simply putting his mother out of her misery? Was he exacting revenge on her for her neglectful behavior? No, he was killing the only bit of love that ever existed in him. She screamed up until the knife pierced her throat, a swift death for the poor soul. Her eyes were full of tears as she watched her only son turn into a cold blooded killer in her last moments of life.

Seijuro bounced in and out of orphanages for a several years. He would often get kicked out for fighting with the other boys who thought him a freak for never showing emotion. There was a girl in one of the orphanages who tried her hardest to bring out the good in Seijuro. That girl was Saya Akizakura. She could feel the void of emotion in Seijuro's soul, but she could also feel his pain and resentment he buried. She tried to befriend him, and he only picked her mind apart. He found out what she was, what her abilities were, without even knowing her clan at all. This scared her away from him, and soon after Seijuro regretted the fear he instilled in this poor young girl. He began to long for her, and this in turn struck fear in his own heart. And that led to even more fear, the fact that he had feelings for this girl frightened him so much that he resolved to kill her. And so he burnt down the orphanage, killing everyone inside except for Saya, who with her abilities had escaped without Seijuro's knowledge.

After this Seijuro wandered the land a young boy with no home. He learned to accept the loneliness that came with it and further buried his emotions. All he knew was pain, and he repressed this pain by killing others. Hunting for animals to feed himself brought him great joy, often forcing his prey to suffer before they died.

Eventually he found himself in the streets of Konoha stealing to get by when he didn't catch his own food. It was easier to take from others rather than find his own prey. People became his prey, until one day he was caught by a renowned medical ninja in the village. He took Seijuro in off the streets and taught him the ways of the Shinobi. He was already skilled with ninja weaponry from his days in the orphanage where the older orphans would play with shuriken and kunai with dreams of one day becoming Shinobi themselves. However this was no game for Seijuro, he took these tools seriously and practiced diligently with them. The man who took him in was impressed by this natural skill and asked Seijuro if he wanted to become a medical ninja. Seijuro had no intention at all of staying away from combat and helping heal others, though the knowledge of the human body and power that came with the path of a medical ninja fascinated him. And so through his power of manipulation and lies he took advantage of this man and studied the ways of medicine and chakra control. He picked techniques up much faster than his sensei expected. He was more than just a child prodigy, Seijuro was a genius by all means.

Several years passed and Seijuro graduated the ninja academy in mere weeks. He was a Genin for less than a year and became one of the youngest Chuunin the village had ever had age thirteen. It was at this time that a young girl began studying with his master to become a medical ninja as well. This shocked Seijuro, as it was the same girl he thought he had killed, Namine Akizakura. He always covered his face ever since becoming a ninja so for a while she didn't recognize him, however she always felt odd around him. Seijuro played the part of a manipulator so well around her that they became close, he would warp the young girl's mind and was cunning enough to turn her against her own intuition. He made her believe her own senses misguided her and were lying to her. This was a testament to Seijuro's ability to manipulate others, that he could even fool the abilities of an Akizakura. Eventually he began to grow fond of her, and instead of trying to kill her, he wanted to make her his own. He began to fall in love with her, the emotionless boy who never loved anything after his mother died suddenly had hopes and aspirations for the future. But when the time came to confess his feelings to Saya and court her to become his, she could not bring herself to accept. She loved him, that she did, but something inside of her begged her to refuse. It was a feeling too strong to ignore that not even the young Seijuro could turn her from. And so she declined, breaking the young boy's heart.

This broke Seijuro. His brief period of trying to learn to love was destroyed by his own doing. Just maybe if he had been true to her and didn't just manipulate her into loving him he would have had a chance, but his selfish intentions pushed her away. And so he could no longer be a part of her life, but he wanted so badly to kill her. But the worst of Seijuro was brought out that day. Kill her? No, that would be too easy. Instead, he would take from her everything she loved. But what did an orphan like her have to take? The village. The village she loved so much would be stricken of life. And so Seijuro resolved to become the Hidden Leaf's Nightmare.

After learning the peak medical techniques Konoha had to offer, he became a mercenary in the Leaf village's underworld. Eventually the Hokage had to personally come to Seijuro and inform him that he was being too brutal with his line of work and was bringing a bad name to the village. Seijuro laughed in the Hokage's face and told him that the village had nothing left to offer him. On Seijuro's last day in Konoha he used his sensei's own technique that he had taught to he and Saya to kill him right in front of her, splattering their sensei's blood all over her. She tried to fight back against him but Seijuro was too cunning and skilled. He could have killed her right there, and he made that known to her, and informed her that the only reason he kept her alive was to watch her suffer for the rest of her life. It was at this time that he removed his bandages and revealed himself as the one who burnt down the orphanage they met in.

Seijuro left the village a Jonin at age seventeen. He immigrated to Iwagakure on rumors he heard in the Leaf underworld that there was a man who had found immortality in Iwa. It was there that Seijuro found a puppet master who took an interest in Seijuro for his intellect and medical skill. He trained him in the art of puppetry until Seijuro inquired about why there were rumors he was immortal. The man always grew quiet and never spoke a word to Seijuro about it which only made the boy more curious. Seijuro studied this man and eventually was able to call his teacher out on his methods. "The way you walk, it sounds like hollow wood crossing the floor. You are not made of flesh." His teacher, stunned at his students ability to discern his true nature, could not let Seijuro live from this. He turned on his young student and exhausted every resource he had to kill him. Seijuro was outmatched in terms of power and experience, however his skill and wit outweighed his master. In a short time Seijuro had learned every possible way to manipulate a puppet from watching this man. And so Seijuro killed the second of his teachers and stole from him the method to becoming immortal: Human Puppetry.

It was not long after Seijuro himself became a human puppet. He covered up the death of his master and began serving in Iwagakure's ANBU black ops until he became the captain of the ANBU in under a year. It was here where he manipulated the last Tsuchikage, giving him false information that Konoha was plotting against him when he lived in the Leaf. He stirred the pot of war for months and eventually took a squad of Iwa nin out to do reconnaissance on Konoha, killed them all himself and returned to the Tsuchikage and reported that it was Konoha that slaughtered his men. The Tsuchikage blamed Konoha and began an assault on any of their Shinobi outside of the village once retaliation against this tactic grew, Iwagakure launched a full on assault against Konoha and the Second Great War began. During this war Seijuro ordered the extermination of all Akizakura clan members, and slaughtered all of Saya's remaining family, although her daughter Namine survived by being thrown into hiding. Seijuro caught wind of this trickery, and set out to kill Namine as a final act of vengeance on Saya to truly take away everything she loved.

At the end of the war Seijuro grew cocky. He had an army of human puppets at his disposal until Saya revealed to the Tsuchikage that Seijuro had been manipulating him the entire time. So of course that meant Seijuro had to kill the Tsuchikage. And so he did, and he became one of Seijuro's growing collection of human puppets, though this one was especially important as it was so realistic it was used to manipulate the people of Iwagakure as their Tsuchikage for months. Seijuro used this tool to further the war so fast that by the time the jig was up and he could no longer deny the rumors of the Tsuchikage being nothing more than a puppet which was propagated by Saya and Konoha herself, the war was already in full swing and so much blood had been spilled on both sides. At this point the war was too far gone to call off, but Seijuro was exiled from Iwagakure. And so he marched on Konoha himself with his army of puppets and set out to kill Saya's daughter Namine once and for all, but his arrogance got the best of him and he thought himself invincible. And so he was caught in a trap by the three Sannin (one of them being Saya Akizakura) and the fourth Hokage. The Hokage was killed and so was Saya, and it took the power of the two remaining Sannin and their faithful follower Jaakuna to seal Seijuro, though Jaakuna was taken to the grave along with the puppet master. Ultimately only two Sannin remained with Saya dead, one of them was Gisho, who became the Fifth Hokage.

Twenty years later, Seijuro lives again. No one knows how, his soul was sealed for certain. But somehow, some way he walks among the living.

Personality: No one can capture a snake's personality. He's just a fucking Nightmare of a human being. You're better off not getting to know this guy. He's the worst thing to ever crawl out of Konoha.

Combat Style: Seijuro uses any manner possible to keep himself out of combat because as soon as his blood is drawn from his body a side of him that rarely anyone sees is unleashed. He is a master strategist and cunning beyond measure. Only when one truly brings Seijuro to the point of rage do they have a chance of defeating him. If his opponent cannot bring out his anger and allows him to keep a level head, they stand no chance of overcoming his intellect.

Weaponry

Weaponry:
The army of human puppets Seijuro had accumulated during the Second Great War were destroyed save for one.

Akumu - Seijuro himself is a human puppet. Thus, his entire body is an arsenal from Hell that has given him the moniker "The Hidden Leaf's Nightmare". His body is formed out of a chakra-hardened wood that makes it resistant to chakra based attacks, however by no means is he immune to them. They simply soften the blow giving the illusion that he can take more damage than the average man. Beneath the wooden exterior is a thin metal layer from Kyoku that is lighter than steel but still very durable, allowing him to retain his ability but adding an extra buffer of durability beneath his exterior puppet body. He has modified the bones formerly inside of his forearms into blades that shoot out of the sides of his arms at will. They are modified to be sickle-shaped blades covered with a black synthetic substance that protects them from corrosive materials. Each blade comes with a groove next to the edge that allows for the travel of a highly corrosive blood-red acid down the edge of the blade, allowing Seijuro to swing the blades causing a spray of highly corrosive acid capable of corroding most metals known to man. Contact to the human body is extremely dangerous. The acid comes from two seals on the inside of the forearms that allow the acid to drip down the blades. If necessary Seijuro can exhaust the seals potential and create an acidic flood in the area he points the seals at. Underneath his tongue is a flamethrower that uses his chakra as fuel. His feet and elbows contain compressed wind jets that allow him the ability to temporarily fly, change direction in the blink of an eye, propel himself forward at incredible speeds, or simply create a powerful concussive burst of wind to attack or defend with. The elbows take 30 seconds each to recharge and the feet can maintain flight for up to ten minutes at a time before needing a recharge time of one minute. Inside of his stomach his 21ft long small intestine has been preserved and transformed into a weapon, at the end of them is a sickle shaped blade coated with a poison that instantly numbs the motor neurons in the area effected, but leaves sensory neurons working so that the opponent cannot move but remains capable of feeling pain inflicted on them; perfect for torture. The poison spreads quickly through the bloodstream. There are seals on each of his fingers that summon numerous shuriken to rain down on his opponent. Seijuro can suppress his chakra with these seals and create invisible chakra threads attached to any weapon he throws in order to manipulate them unknowingly.

Zetsumei - Seijuro's human puppet of Mitsuki Dokugami. The puppet uses the Kekkei Genkai of the Dokugami Clan to create poisons of various natures in order to paralyze or kill its victims. Thus, Zetsumei can spew large clouds of toxins out of its mouth or create streams of toxic liquid. Touching the puppets very skin can transfer toxins off its body. The Dokugami clan are literally poisonous inside and out and this human puppet is no exception. Seijuro has given the puppet a deadly scythe and tattered black hooded cloak to go with its new appearance. The most deadly poison the puppet uses is a necrotic toxin that destroys the cells of whatever it touches in seconds and slowly spreads throughout the body within several minutes after contact. Zetsumei's ribs have been sharpened and are coated with his necrotic poison; they have been modified to protrude from the puppets chest in order to pierce his opponent, providing a close range attack. However the true purpose of the modified ribs it to be used as a cage to trap opponents daring enough to come close to Zetsumei. The puppet has seals on its hands that summon senbon and shuriken at will, using its poison abilities to coat the tools as they are summoned. The mouth of the puppet fires a spiked chain with a nine inch blade at the forefront. The chain and blade are both coated in the puppets signature necrotic poison.

Kyoku - The human puppet of the Third Tsuchikage, crafted by Seijuro after murdering him in cold blood. He used this puppet to manipulate Iwagakure for several months during the Second Great War before they figured out it was a puppet. The Third Tsuchikage possessed the Steel Release Kekkei Genkai and this human puppet takes full advantage of that. The Impervious Armor ability is used by this puppet to create a near impenetrable defense on its exterior. This ability is also used by Seijuro to help craft himself and his other puppets for defensive purposes. Any weapons used by Seijuro are also created out of this black steel, giving him an edge over users of normal steel. The Third Tsuchikage was a man of incredible stature, and Kyoku was bloated out slightly to create space so that Seijuro could actually enter and travel within the puppet as armor and manipulate it from within. The puppet uses two black steel nodachi as its main forms of combat. Kyoku utilizes a battery in either of his arms which produces an electric current to run along his weaponry and his body as a whole. Augmented by Seijuro's chakra this electricity can be turned into a short range (3 meter) field around the puppet that paralyzes opponents or can be conducted through weaponry or the puppets hands as a blade. The field of electricity paralyzes Chuunin and weaker opponents instantly but higher ranked opponents require a few seconds of staying in the field to paralyze them. He can only maintain the electric field for 15 seconds at a time with a two post cooldown. Firing a bolt of electricity as a projectile is also possible but very chakra consuming. Two spiked chains attached to six inch blades reside in either of Kyoku's elbows attached to rotating pistons that will pull in anything the chains are lodged into or wrapped around. There is a seal on the puppets wrists that fire kunai attached with rows of explosive tags. Kyoku has a signature seal located in its stomach that creates a chain of tags to be summoned, each equipped with another tag that summons more explosive tags creating a chain reaction until Seijuro forms a hand seal to detonate them all at once. Located on Kyoku's back is a panel that flips over to reveal a giant cannon. Kyoku must lock all four of his limbs into the ground before firing the cannon which uses Seijuro's chakra as a medium for its explosive power. Seijuro has enough chakra for three uses in one day, however it takes at least a minute between uses. The cannon is an S-rank technique that blows the puppet backward even with its limbs engrained into the earth.

Miscellaneous: Ghost stories of Seijuro are told in Iwa and Konoha to scare small children (and adults who know the truth about him). Some believe he is a myth, that some of the things he has done are too vile to have truly happened.

Naruto: Revival

Namine Akizakura

Name: Namine Akizakura
Age|Gender: 37|Female
Alliance: Konohagakure
Rank: S - Jounin
Clan: The Akizakura clan, named for the cosmos flower which symbolizes order, beauty, and balance, traits found in many of the Akizakura clan, especially their women. They are known for having strawberry blonde, blonde or sometimes even dark red hair, either wavy or straight. The women's role is anything but just a caregiver in this clan, as the Akizakura are a clan that has had to defend themselves from persecution more than once, and are masters of the art of deception and self-defense. Their unique Kekkei Genkai allows them to fool and deceive their opponents very easily, but requires a quelled ego and a witty mind. Few members of the Akizakura actually possess the Jibun no Shindo, and even fewer can master it.

The Jibun no Shindo originated in a woman born before the first Shinobi war, but after the dawn of Ninshuu. The woman was Kagome Akizakura, a balanced woman of great strength who preached that women were just as good of fighters as men were, as many women felt their place was at home playing the role of a caregiver. Kagome agreed only with the point of women being excellent caregivers, as she herself was a mother who embraced her maternal instincts and spread love to everyone she met. She was a beautiful soul, and had a flawless body to match. However, she preached that women should not be subservient in a Shinobi society due to their maternity, rather it gave them the strength to be some of the greatest Kunoichi ever. The maternal instinct and the nature of wanting to protect what one loves, especially one's children, she taught that these emotions of love were the most powerful weapons any Shinobi could learn to utilize.

This was not all. Along with embracing one's own emotions to be utilized as strength, she spoke of tolerance and understanding, that the emotions of others were a product of their experiences, and people did not choose to be how they were, they merely act based on how they view a situation. Kagome taught compassion and empathy, to learn from others' perspectives and to take strength from them as well, for the world was not to be experienced alone. She said that the world itself had a soul, just like each human did. And the soul of the universe was within us all, we simply had to find it. She said that each and every object and organism of the universe had its own soul, memories and purpose here. Kaguya had the insight to be able to see into objects and discern their past leading up to the present, and was able to discern how situations would unfold based off of the emotion's of others around her. She became so in tune with the souls of those around her that she could temporarily blend her own soul with them, assimilating them as part of herself. She spoke of the process in which we all touch each other's souls upon meeting in some form, and that each person you interact with retains a part of you from that interaction, and with each successive interaction the part of you that is in them will grow. And so Kagome lived by these beliefs, and collected parts of all the souls she came across, and so she loved them, just as she loved her family.

Thus, the Akizakura clan was born. To her daughter, and her granddaughter, and her great granddaughter, until she passed, she taught to embrace their emotions and to always be weary of the emotions of others. And so, every woman that was born throughout her lineage was birthed with the gift to be in tune with one's own soul, and to be in tune with the souls of others and of the world around them.

Kekkei Genkai: Jibun no Shindo (Vibration of Oneself) - This is a powerful Kekkei Genkai centered around energy and emotions. All who possess this Kekkei Genkai are extremely empathic by nature and can literally feel others' emotions when they are near them. When the wielder of this Kekkei Genkai builds a strong bond with another person or animal, they can feel strong emotions come from them from very far away, and in return those who connect with an Akizakura will feel surges of emotion from them occasionally. This causes confusion in young Akizakura who are not used to feeling such strong emotional tides, and often takes years of getting used to to be able to discern the emotions apart from one another.

Beyond feeling just mere emotions, anyone possessing the Jibun no Shindo is capable of feeling another's energy in various forms, most notably the ability to feel their chakra and changes in one's chakra without even having to look at them. With this, Akizakura are some of the most skilled sensors in the world as they can track down individual chakra signatures over vast distances as long as they have 'felt' their chakra presence before and are also human lie detectors in the manner of detecting subtle differences in one's body and chakra when they lie. Those possessing the Jibun no Shindo can feel the heartbeats and presences of others around them, and can feel various forms of chakra. For example, an Akizakura with this Kekkei Genkai can feel the chakra nature of someone they are near, for each person's chakra is unique. In the same rite, they can feel when they are in a Genjutsu due to the chakra disturbances in their body and in the area. This level of awareness can be very overwhelming at times, especially when emotions run high and there is a lot going on around them. However it is a blessing, as the Akizakura are nearly always aware of their surroundings due to their ability to feel and process the energy of the atmosphere, limited only by how much control and progression they have with their Kekkei Genkai. The connections the user develops with this Kekkei Genkai are for life, so once they have registered a person's unique chakra signature and felt their energy, they can track them over great distances. The range of their Kekkei Genkai is only limited by the user's concentration and personal skill with Jibun no Shindo.

This Kekkei Genkai is unique in the way that some Akizakura have developed it. Users are able to feel objects and 'empathize' with them, literally assimilating part of the substance into their own body and taking on its properties via a connection between the physical energy of the object and the user. e.g. the user touches metal and assimilates it into their arm, giving their arm metallic properties for a short duration, or until the user willfully cancels it. This gives birth to hundreds of possibilities, and by assimilating with the Chakra of another they are able to gain insight into their abilities. The assimilation aspect is hard to control and due to this, young Akizakura may only assimilate parts of their body with objects at a time, and cannot perform full-body assimilations just yet, nor can they perform multiple assimilations at once.

A very special trait of this Kekkei Genkai, which only a fraction of those who are born with the Jibun no Shindo are then also born with this, is the ability to feel deep connections within entities through mere touch by assimilating part of their chakra and soul into them, forming a deep bond where the user unifies themselves with the entity. For example, when the wielder of this unique trait touches a sword, they will gain the knowledge of all who have wielded the sword, and knowledge of all battles that sword has taken part in, and the events leading to how the sword is where it is now. This skill is emotionally overwhelming as it transfers memories and experiences into the user rapidly, which is a portal for negative emotions and positive emotions alike into the user. As such, it cannot be used continuously as it drains the user's mental energy. When used on another person the amount of knowledge and experience seen from them depends on how long contact is established, as such small periods of contact will only allow for a light form of insight into the energy of the person, like clues about their past and personality, and their nature as human beings. Long periods of contact allow for a much deeper connection to be established, similar to seeing another's life through their point of view, however this cannot be done to immediately gain skills or techniques from another, as it would still require first-hand practice in order to learn anything they have been given insight to, akin to learning in theory but not learning through personal application to said concepts.

Traits: All of Namine's accomplishment stems from her humbleness amid a garden of brilliance. She is collectively aware of herself and her surroundings simultaneously. She passively feels the energy of everything around her. She is revered as a master of chakra control and a healer of the body an soul. She is extremely quick and agile in both body and wits, equating to her balanced swordsmanship. Her chakra reserves are about average.

Personal Data

History: Namine was born during turbulent times. The Akizakura clan did not have much of a name for itself, as their abilities included much deception and avoidance of combat unless necessary. Despite those facts, the Akizakura, specifically their women, were targeted for their unique skills and were seen as a threat when they collaborated their abilities. In a clan full of sensors, you'd think they had each other's backs and could stay out of trouble. This was not the case as some might have liked to think... During the Second Great War most of the Akizakura were exterminated by other villages out of fear, or by one other group in particular. The survivors were thrown on the run or into hiding. When they could not hide, the clan members proudly stood together in the face of danger.

Namine's father died in the first massacre of the Akizakura. Her mother took her, a young girl at the age of seven who at the time who could not hide herself, and the Nuru-Kukan no Tachi away from their home of Konohagakure. They were on the run for a while, and it was hard to keep away from those who hunted them as they had no true place to call home. Her mother was a valiant woman who vowed to protect her daughter with her life. The love of her mother kept her alive, and she memorized the warm feeling of love that her mother brought her with her Kekkei Genkai.

The women of the Akizakura are strong, maternal caregivers, full of love and charity. These traits were passed down to Namine, in addition to the balance and beauty that her mother was known for. Namine's mother was the matriarch of the clan at the time, so her face was well-known in some parts of the country. She did her best to hide her daughter, they hid for years, but it was not enough. She could sense the impending doom drawing nearer each day, and eventually made the toughest decision of her life. She relinquished possession of Namine over to an orphanage, explaining to the young girl that she must hide herself at whatever cost, for she was a unique soul that was meant to bring love into a new era of the Shinobi world. She promised that one day Namine would never have to hide her identity, and that she would be one to usher in a new order to the world.

Her mother was found and was killed, not before putting up the fight of her life. She fought without Nuru-Kukan no Tachi, the blade that she left to her daughter. Namine grew up alone and resisted any form of connection from those around her. A few short years after her mother died, the country's political climate became somewhat stable. It was hard for her to understand, all she knew was that she had a gift that needed to be hidden from the world. Her mother's parting words stuck with her for the rest of her life, echoing through her dreams and guiding her through life with the promise of peace.

The previous Hokage managed to find Namine at the orphanage before any of those hunting her kind could. He offered her and a few other Akizakura survivors safe haven in Konoha. Sensing the man's pure intentions, she agreed. The Hokage furthered her Shinobi training and placed her into a squad led by a man that would eventually become the current Hokage.

Namine became the matriarch of the Akizakura clan by default at age seventeen. Few of her relatives that survived could be found, as they most likely fled and went into hiding. A memorial was set up for her mother, as she was a prominent figure in Konoha as a wandering medical Shinobi who often came to Konoha to deliver them herbs and teachings before the war. Namine then entered the ninja academy and was recognized as an above average student with accolades in chakra control and a knack for grasping the fundamentals of Ninjutsu.

She finished top of her class and was promoted to Chuunin after only sixteen months of dedication to her title as Genin. She viewed the opportunity of being a Kunoichi of great skill as more of an obligation. There was not a chance she was going to let her mother's will fade away, the bar was set high from birth and she would live up to her name as an Akizakura even if her identity had to remain concealed.

She was just as rigorous a worker, no- more so as a Chuunin as she matured mentally beyond her years, collecting experience and empathizing with the efforts and actions of those she had encountered along the way. She had become a master swordsman and had begun work as a medical ninja. She believed that ending suffering could be done by teaching the value of love, and this core belief became the root of her medical teachings. She was even able to come to terms with her mother's death and forgave the world for taking her family at such a young age. It was at the young age of seventeen where she found a tender compassion for the world, preceding her promotion to Jounin.

After that Namine grew into a stunning image of her mother with even greater skill as a medical kunoichi and renowned swordsman. She spent days on end alone with nothing but her sword. She would meditate in the forests with only its company and delve into the memories the sword held within. Eventually she came to know each member of her family who had wielded the sword going all the way back to Kagome Akizakura. In fact, she spent so much time training and meditating with Nuru-Kukan no Tachi she was shown a vision of its birth and creation. Before that moment, she was told by her mother that everything had a soul, even inanimate objects. She did not fully grasp that concept until knowing how her ancestors' sword was born. It was pulled directly from nothing, a point of zero energy, by none other than Kagome herself, and given form and life using the principles of Yin and Yang. At that precise moment she felt a pensive connection between her and the sword, as if the soul of Nuru-Kukan was acknowledging her soul and her ownership of the blade as a true swordsman. This was a key event in her development as seeing the principles of Yin and Yang in action through her Kekkei Genkai gave her a new perspective on medical ninjutsu as well as her swordsmanship.

Namine gained a newfound respect for life, nature and all that occupied this plane of existence. She studied long and hard on the aspects of Yin and Yang and the roles they played in the world. This knowledge of life that was gifted to her led to a deep appreciation of nature and so she started a garden next to the grave site of the Akizakura clan. After beginning the garden and filling it with all different types of plants and flowers she felt it was still lacking, and in her mind a new path opened when she became aware of the void in her garden. The garden was her life, and it had an emptiness to it. There were no conflictions in her mind, Namine left that very day and spent her twenties all the way into her early thirties traveling the world in search for philosophical meaning in the world.

She met hundreds of people during these beautiful years, experiencing bounds of love and finding peace within herself, a certain kind of calmness overtook her during this journey. A type of gratefulness for her life that kept her content at all times, never needing more than what was given to her and never needing to rush anywhere. Her patience peaked, and she easily empathized with all the concerns and troubled of everyone she met. Whilst traveling and gaining knowledge and helping others she also collected hundreds upon hundreds of species of plants, making journeys back to her garden at home when she could to bring the many new species back to her home in Konoha.

When she felt whole and complete inside, and had grown comfortable with only herself and Nuru-Kukan, she finally returned home to a radiant, lively garden. It was beautiful with all the colors of the rainbow fitting in somewhere in her garden, so many intoxicating aromas drifting from her plants, and some colorful poisons lurking in the corners of her garden. Now thaat she had returned home, Namine settled down and became a teacher of philosophy, medicine, and a well-known kenjutsu specialist. She agreed to take any student willing to learn and adapt to her teachings. Namine currently lives in a cottage on the outskirts of Konoha, not directly inside of the village. Her garden and the gravesite of her ancestors is behind her home. She took up a position with the Empire due to her sense of order and duty to her people, but question some of their methods and intentions, as she has never blindly accepted authority.

Personality: Namine is a shy woman, though it does not seem this way due to her constant connection with the internal world, and her Kekkei Genkai being a bridge from the external world into her internal mind. She constantly switches between the two, from taking in all of the energy around her, to withdrawing herself into her own little bubble. She is pensive, forming opinions of others and scenarios based on not only her thoughts and emotions but from the emotions that others give off pertaining to what she is thinking about. She views the world as an analytical web spun from exchanges of energy.

She is a very aware woman who does not miss a beat, keeping up in conversation easily due to her ability to anticipate others' actions based on their feelings and body language, which her sensory abilities remind her of often. Her analytical mind only hinders her when she is alone and her thoughts are left to race each other in circles, leading to over-analyzing and occasional bouts of depression. Deep down, she is a strong girl mentally who deals with tragedy well. Due to her Jibun no Shindo she is highly capable of dealing with her emotions and counseling others with theirs.

Her clairvoyant ability to feel the memories of those who she comes into contact with either through personal connection or the assimilation of objects gives her knowledge and wisdom beyond her years, and is often thought to be much older than she truly is because of this. She is very outgoing from her years traveling as a ronin medic and takes on new experience with an open heart. She is full of love straight down to the core, and enjoys spreading this love very much, while she is not hesitant to guard it from evil who seek to destroy it.

Combat Style: Namine remains distant from combat as a medical nin. Her sensory and emotional abilities are better used at a distance, not engaged directly in battle. Some think she is unskilled in the art of combat, but that cannot be further from the truth. All Akizakura women are instructed in self-defense, and Namine has embraced that aspect of her clan. She was first taught deception, how to avoid battle, before being taught how to mentally and physically deal with confrontation. While she is a fragile woman, her agility and reflexes are her strong suits when it comes to battle. Namine may be more suited as a sensor but she can hold her own in a hand to hand bout. She is stern and determined, never losing focus of her opponents. She combines this with the nimble gracefulness of her personality, coordinating them to create an elegant form of combat.

Jutsu Name: Sakuzuke Ne (Planting Roots)
Jutsu Type: Sensory Ninjutsu
Rank: C-A
Effective Range: The range of Jibun no Shindo
Nature Type: N/A
Description: Upon placing a small portion of the user's chakra into a person or object, an Akizakura using the Jibun no Shindo can feel the location of where their chakra is at all times, meaning this technique is used to track objects and people that she has become a part of by placing her chakra within them, forming a bond of physical energy from the object and the Akizakura's spiritual energy. More skilled Akizakura can use this technique to obtain visual images of where the object/person sharing the bond is, or to obtain sensory information from the area.

By assimilating her chakra with another person, she is able to gain insight into their emotions, taking them on as if they were her own. These feelings must be balanced out within the user in order to correctly deal with them and keep her mind in order. In addition to feeling the emotions of the other, she is able to track their whereabouts by sensing the chakra within them. This allows for the simple application of certain Genjutsu as their is already a chakra connection established.
Drawbacks: Usefulness of the technique depends on the skill of the user and their progression with the Jibun no Shindo.

Jutsu Name: Chishikiji Douka (Information Tree Assimilation)
Jutsu Type: Ninjutsu
Rank: B-S
Effective Range: Touch
Nature Type: N/A
Description: The user of the Jibun no Shindo is able to touch an object and feel its properties, as members of this clan believe everything that has matter, has a soul. Thus by assimilating them into their own body they may borrow these properties for a short while via a connection between the object's physical energy and her spiritual energy. These borrowed aspects can be almost anything, and allow the user a variety of options in the midst of a fight.
Drawbacks: One assimilation requires a constant drain of chakra, multiple or full-body assimilations put strain on both the user's physical body as well as their mind due to the joint bond created by each assimilation

Jutsu Name: Itowohiku (Pulling the Strings)
Jutsu Type: Genjutsu
Rank: D-S
Effective Range: The range of Jibun no Shindo
Nature Type: N/A
Description: The ability of an Akizakura to force their will and emotions upon others after performing hand seals, for simple thoughts/emotions only a one-handed seal is necessary. By empathizing with someone, she can transfer subtle thoughts, suggestions and emotions to their being. These effects can be resisted but due to the subtle nature of this Genjutsu it is hard to realize that a Genjutsu is being afflicted. Skilled users can create entire scenarios in victims' heads that lead them to a set conclusion that feels logically sound, leading to deceptive illusions.
Drawbacks: It is a matter of willpower and awareness

Jutsu Name: Ryuutai Koudan (Fluid Story-Telling)
Jutsu Type: Genjutsu
Rank: D-S
Effective Range: The range of Jibun no Shindo
Nature Type: N/A
Description: The advanced addendum to Itowohiku, requiring three hand seals to activate. This technique allows the user to create an illusion based off of the target's emotions and desires. The illusion is very realistic in the sense that the user who is creating the illusion has the target's desires and will in mind, forming a story of sorts that the victim will play through as if it were actually happening, forming an elaborate world that the victim believes to be true. They have full sensory control as long as the victim believes the world to be true.
Drawbacks: The story will continue only as long as the enemy believes they are in reality. As soon as they logically assume the scenario is Genjutsu, it will end automatically

Jutsu Name: Shiyuuto no Uwan (Right Arm of the Believer)
Jutsu Type: Medical Ninjutsu/Fuuinjutsu
Rank: D-S
Effective Range: One yard extending from the seal
Nature Type: Yin-Yang
Description: With her knowledge of medicine and healing techniques, Namine uses an array of Fuuinjutsu to foster love and creation through her right arm which is used to mend suffering of the body and spirit, using Yin-Yang chakra to give life and form to those around her. By using this technique Namine can foster the growth of life around her, causing plants to flourish under her diligent care.
In addition to the healing aspects this seal provides she can also physically rebuild shattered objects as well, albeit slowly. She cannot animate them to life, but can reconstruct their form to her will.
Drawbacks: In addition to the concentration and chakra cost of this technique, Namine feels the suffering of all the wounds she heals.

Jutsu Name: Jimanshiya no Sawan (Left Arm of the Deceiver)
Jutsu Type: Medical Ninjutsu/Fuuinjutsu
Rank: D-S
Effective Range: One yard extending from the seal
Nature Type: Yin-Yang
Description: The antipode of her healing techniques, this seal is perhaps her deadliest combat-based medical technique. Although it has very little medical application, some believe it has none but Namine knows this to be false as it has many non-combat applications, one just has to think creatively. The antithesis of her right arm, this array of seals is arranged in a numerical complex opposite of the right arm. The first seal of this tattoo fosters her assimilation into whatever she makes contact with, and along with her Jonin no Shinzo, she is given innate insight into whatever she touches including its physical composition. The next seal in the complex is dis-assimilation at a rapid rate. It breaks the bonds holding together whatever it is she physically assimilates to from the inside out, disrupting and destroying it as she touches it. For example, if she held a stone in her hand, there would be a split second of the first seal assimilating the rock with her chakra, and immediately after the rock would explode into smaller rocks or dust, depending on the amount of chakra used by Namine to perform the technique.
Drawbacks: The range of this technique is short, it requires a strenuous, ongoing chakra cost as long as the properties are sustained. After ending the technique Namine's body is left physically weak from fatigue. This technique can only be used once every three posts and leaves the user physically in pain in addition to the fatigue felt.

Weaponry

Weaponry: On her wrists, there are tattooed generic seals that correspond with generic Shinobi tools, including but not limited to kunai, shuriken, senbon, ninja wire, explosive tags, kodachi, medical tools, flasks of water, flash bombs, smoke bombs,

Medicines and Poisons
Over the years Namine has grown a plethora of rare plants in her garden, some for decoration but most having unique healing properties that can relieve headaches, inflammations, nausea, joint and muscle pain, digestive problems, blood pressure issues and a multitude of other uses. She has found some plants so unique that they have properties capable of healing even chakratic disturbances and damage done to a person's chakra network over time.

In addition to the healing properties of plants she has also found a wonderful array of poisons at her disposal in the forms of powder, liquid and gas. She has a few favorite poisons, her signature of which being scopolamine harvested from Datura plants growing in her garden, made into pellets that explode into a cloud of the toxin. She also carries toxins that sedate motor neurons in five minutes.

Nuru-Kukan no Tachi (Null-Void Blade) - A blade passed down through the women of the Akizakura clan. The sword is very powerful, and grows with the user as it is wielded. It is never carried, merely summoned to the user's hand through a generic seal, which can be used to summon the blade regardless of its location. The blade is somewhat sentient in a way, as it contains all the memories and experiences of those who wielded it, and will give the wielder visions of those experiences and emotions over time to facilitate the growth of the wielder. Rare Akizakura members possessing the ability to 'feel' the memories of what they touch can access these memories and experiences on their own when called upon. Throughout the clan's history the sword is passed down from the oldest woman of the clan to her daughter, who is instructed to pass it onto her daughter, or in case of a woman born without daughters, to the next youngest girl in the clan. It is used for protection and growth, as a clan revolving mainly around matriarchal principles it is not abnormal to pass down such a powerful sword to young, developing kunoichi. The sword's power lies in its ability to neutralize energy. The primary function of the blade is to calm the wielder of the emotional stress put on them from their Jibun no Shindo, allowing clarity of thought amidst even the most tumultuous of situations. The blade's reputation of being incredibly powerful comes from the fact that it is ideal for disrupting and counteracting Jutsu (especially Ninjutsu) by nullifying the effects of chakra, however the blade comes at a cost. Wielding it outside of its sheathe comes with a constant chakra drain. As a practiced swordsman wielding this blade since her mother passed coupled with her stout chakra control she can wield the blade for up to fifteen minutes per day without fatigue. Anything over and Namine begins to feel physical strain and chakra exhaustion.

Miscellaneous: The name Akizakura Namine means Cosmos, A blade to drive out evil spirits
