Capes of Denver: A Worm RP

The internet company effed up on my transfer of service with the move. It was supposed to be done on this last Thursday, but now because of the weekend and holiday it's held up until Wednesday. >.> I'm pretty pissed.

@ProPro

Damn man, that sucks! Sorry to hear it.

Naruto: Revival

Anzen-sei, Marekizō

General Data

Name: Anzen-sei(Preservation), Marekizō(Rare gift).
Nickname/Alias: Mare/
Gender: Male.
Age: 19.
Age Appearance: 19.
Sexuality: Heterosexual.

Village: N/A.
Birthplace: Kirigakure.

Organization:

Rank: C.
Position: Exile.
Chakra Nature: Lightning, Fire, and Wind.

Additional Appearance Details: Mare stands at 5'8 and is lean in build at best. His entire body has been augmented with chakra crystal, with the material creating intricate lines up his arms, along his back and chest, and down his legs. The back of his hands and fingers possess lines of intricate crystal as well, and in the center of his palms lie flat gems of solidified chakra. Indeed, even his eyes show signs of modification for they glow in the dark, more readily catching light, as well as refracting it in strange fashions.

History: Born into the Anzen-sei family after two older sisters, Marekizō was considered a miracle child, for it was not often that three children in a row were born with the clan's kekkei genkai, not to mention a boy! So, as one might expect, he was given special treatment, and while his two sisters were old enough not to care too much, there were others in the family who did not like how his parents—and grandparents—chose to treat him.

As he grew up, babied and given whatever he desired, the boy slowly spoiled. By the time he was 12 it was perhaps too late to change things, as he had become too accustomed to getting what he desired. Of course, with his startling intellect and talent this was often ignored as a small issue. His aunt, Tatsuya, thought differently, but alas...she was ignored. It was not until many years later, when he was only 15, that the clan came to regret their choice to ignore the boy's problem.

For while he had become a chuunin at a younger age than many, the boy had turned his talents towards something darker.

In a hidden chamber deep beneath the Anzen-sei compound, Tatsuya found what could only be a laboratory in which a menagerie of monstrosities had been chained. There was blood, gore, but worst of all...in some kind of wicked apparatus there was what appeared to be living chakra. The wisp writhed about, swimming, and occasionally slamming into the viewing aperture in an attempt to get out. When Tatsuya approached however, the wisp retreated into a dark corner, afraid of her presence.

It thought she was Mare.

Before the terrible boy found out, Tatsuya performed a ritual that allowed the spirit to pass on, as well as killing the animals therein and burning the laboratory down. On her way out she buried it as well, making sure that he could never get any of his research or whatever abominations he'd created out as well as assuring that no one would discover it.

Within the following weeks, after she had told the head of the clan, they conspired to remove the boy from their midst. Eventually, when he was sent on a mission, they managed to frame him for manslaughter. However, with his intellect he managed to put enough doubt on his own name that Kirigakure and its leaders could not rightfully sentence him to death for his actions. So it was that instead he was exiled from the village and disowned by his clan.

Since then, Mare has wandered the world and set up numerous hidden labs. In each incubates what any righteous or even faintly moral person would call abominations. One day, Mare hopes to turn those tiny aberrations into something more.

Into something that will make the world remember him.

Into something...that again will make the world entire quake in fear.

Personality: Unconcerned, ambitious, intelligent, and sadistic; Marekizō is perhaps insane, perhaps not. An individual who thrives on the suffering and fear of others, he is someone who wishes to, more than anything else, leave his mark on the world. With his utter lack of morals and a vast intelligence he fully intends to make this mark known to anyone and everyone he can...all at once. Beyond this, one might come to realize that Mare does not particularly enjoy the status quo and would prefer that the silly concept of 'peace' cease to exist...or at least exist only in very short increments to allow the world to build up once more for great conflict. In essence, Mare believes that conflict drives human progress, and so it would be best if it never stopped at all. Of course, the fact that he enjoys watching other people suffer probably plays a part in this mindset.

Special Traits
Exceptional Chakra Control.
Intermediate Taijutsu
Medical Ninjutsu.
Sensory Ninjutsu.
Indomitable Will.

Physical Modifications: As mentioned in his appearance section, Mare has augmented his body with crystallized chakra by way of his kekkei genkai. As a result, his chakra control and flow surpasses the limitations he might otherwise have, as well as him being able to generate jutsu from anywhere that the chakra crystals cover.

Ocular Modification:

While still in development, Mare's eyes have been modified by his own conscious use of his kekkei genkai. Essentially, the structure of his eyes is partially crystalline, with a very thin, malleable shell over the outer surface. This shell is perfectly translucent, allowing light to pass through, but since it can be controlled it can gather more, or less light, as well as let him see things in much greater detail even if they are very far away. At closer ranges his vision can see things of tiny sizes, making his modified eyes microscopic and telescopic in nature. Beyond this, he can see his own chakra with his eyes, though he has yet to figure out how to see anyone else's. As a result of this modification, Mare's eyes glow.

【Kekkei Genkai】

Name of Kekkei Genkai: Tengoku no Tehai(_{天国の手配} 'Heavenly Arrangement').
Clan: Anzen-sei.
Description: An ability passed down to one in three members of the Anzen-sei clan, the Tengoku no Tehai is a kekkei genkai that one might say is similar to crystal release—though they would be wrong in all of the most meaningful ways. While the Anzen-sei's kekkei genkai does focus on crystallization, it is not of a mineral sort, but instead of an energetic variety, allowing an inheritor to literally crystallize chakra or energy itself, arranging it into specifically ordered formations for a variety of purposes. This allows an inheritor to simply give chakra a solid form when it otherwise would not have one, which can allow the storage of jutsu, effects, and even the creation of specialized tools purely out of crystallized chakra. As such, the Anzen-sei kekkei genkai may either preserve the programming of chakra—typically known as jutsu—or it may destroy it in favor of a different sort of ordered formation. As a result, the Tengoku no Tehai has made the Anzen-sei clan well known for their ninjutsu, and inventiveness,. Beyond this, the Tengoku no Tehai kekkei genkai typically grants the user with exceptional chakra control, as without such they would be less capable of properly utilizing it. Beyond this there is little else to know, though it is notable that the Anzen-sei's Tengoku no Tehai does not have any traditional or necessarily inherent affinity weaknesses due to its nature.

**It should be noted that while inheritors of the Tengoku no Tehai may have more than one elemental affinity, that their kekkei genkai will only be naturally attuned to their dominant affinity. This essentially means that their kekkei genkai will be far more inefficient when used with any other element.

***There are two sorts of phenomena that resist the effects of the Tengoku no Tehai, these being things which are already in a very strictly ordered state (such as barriers and fuinjutsu) and things in an incredibly disordered—or highly energetic—state, such as the fire or lightning affinities. It should be noted that this merely means that both things are resistant, not immune to the kekkei genkai's effects.

=========================================
Techniques:

Canon Jutsu All Academy and relevant D rank techniques.

Chakra Scalpel: While he does not have to, Mare tends to crystallize this chakra around his hands, creating an actual weapon out of them. While one might think so, this does not actually hamper his dexterity or the movement of his fingers.

Custom Jutsu

Name of Technique: Kiyō Sonae(_器用備え 'Dexterous arrangement').
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu.
Rank: D.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: N/A.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: Channeling chakra through one's own muscles, nerves, and other necessary tissues—typically within the arms, wrists and hands—the user enhances their ability to skillfully manipulate objects as well as increasing the speed at which they can do so. This technique should not be utilized for extended periods of time as it causes undue strain on the affected body parts. Despite this, it is relatively useful, and while it is a simple technique based on typical principles, it does require decent chakra control to fully utilize. This may make techniques such as Chakra Flow or other projected chakra-based abilities.

Weakness: Listed above.

====================

Name of Technique: Kōsō Jōmyaku(_宏壮静脈 'Shining Veins').
Type of Jutsu: Passive ninjutsu; Sensory; Kekkei ninjutsu.
Rank: B.
Range: Personal.
Nature Type: N/A.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: A technique that remains active, Kōsō Jōmyaku is a technique facilitated by Mare's kekkei genkai, allowing him to crystallize microscopic bits of chakra and infuse it into his own blood. These tiny chakra crystals expand and make crisp his physical awareness, making him incredibly attuned to the many processes of his body. Additionally, it means if he bleeds, anything with his blood on it...also has his chakra in it. Because this technique is internal it does not expend any chakra, unless blood is spilled, but that is a problem in its own right.

Weakness: Supplementary.

====================

Name of Technique: Junsei Hairetsu(_純正配列 'Flawless Arrangement').
Type of Jutsu: Kekkei ninjutsu.
Rank: C-S{B}.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: Variable.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: A technique that allows an inheritor of the Tengoku no Tehai kekkei genkai to manipulate the nature and various intricacies of the crystallization process, Junsei Hairetsu facilitates much of the kekkei genkai's use. It is with this technique that an inheritor may dictate the structure of their chakra crystals, thus allowing them to choose if the crystallization will store a jutsu, the properties of a chakra, or will return it to a blank state such as in Junshin Muku. This also allows them to alter the crystalline structure of already crystallized chakra, or to make chakra crystallize into particular formations—it is possible for this to be done without the chakra becoming physical.

Weakness: Sufficient disruption of focus can lead to inconsistencies and greater weakness of crystallized chakra.

====================

Name of Technique: Yūrei Tanshoku(_幽霊淡色 'Ghost Light').
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu; Sensory; Supplementary.
Rank: C.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: Wind.
Handseals: 3.
Description: Performing the necessary handseals as he molds chakra, Mare then releases it from his form. Manifesting as a small gust of light wind this technique actually releases thousands of tiny chakra crystals from Mare's form, scattering them all over via air currents and the like. Mare is capable of sensing the locations of the tiny crystals, which are far too small for the naked eye to see. The movements of these crystals can be manipulated by Mare.

Weakness: Supplementary. The crystals can also be blown away or destroyed by other jutsu. When in high concentrations, the crystals refract light off of one another, making them somewhat noticeable. The sensory portion of this techniques continues to work so long as individuals stay within 20 meters of his person whereas his control of the crystals can only be retained for 15 meters.

====================

Name of Technique: Hakari(_秤 'Scales').
Type of Jutsu: Defensive ninjutsu; Medical ninjutsu.
Rank: D-A.
Range: Personal.
Nature Type: N/A.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: Using his kekkei genkai, Mare rapidly crystallizes chakra on a portion of his body, either to stop the bleeding of a wound or to provide armor in that area.This technique can defend against higher ranked taijutsu strikes or weapon assaults so long as enough chakra is used to form the 'armor.' As with the rest of his chakra crystals, these can channel techniques.

Weakness: Weaker against blunt force weaponry and has little effect against non-physical strikes.

====================

Name of Technique: Yueki(_輸液 'Infusion').
Type of Jutsu: Kekkei ninjutsu.
Rank: D.
Range:
Nature Type: Variable.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: Similar, if not the same, as chakra flow, Yueki allows a user to channel their elemental affinities with greater efficiency. Mare does so through his crystals. Additionally, this allows his elemental chakra to “jump” between nearby crystalline structures that he has created with his kekkei genkai.

Weakness: Affinity weaknesses. Blow away/get rid of the crystals.

====================

Name of Technique: Shinkei Oshi(_神経打つ 'Nerve Strike').
Type of Jutsu: Medical ninjutsu; Taijutsu.
Rank: C.
Range: Contact.
Nature Type: Lightning.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: Utilizing chakra flow on his own body, Mare can strike an opponent, pinch, or otherwise make contact with pressure points or weak areas of the body, causing various effects depending on the point. Most often though he can cause muscles spasms, unconsciousness, or brief stuns.

Weakness: This technique only causes unconsciousness if a strike to the head or the back of the neck is delivered.

====================

Name of Technique: Tsumi no Meiwaku(_罪の迷惑 'The Burden of Sin').
Type of Jutsu: Kekkei ninjutsu.
Rank: C.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: N/A.
Handseals: Three, if any.
Description: Utilized one of two ways, Tsumi no Meiwaku is a technique that requires an inheritor's chakra become affixed to some measure of their target's body. When utilized intentionally, the technique is typically achieved by sending chakra through the ground at an opponent and, on contact, causing it to crystallize rapidly over the surface of their body until they are totally encased. This can be achieved in other ways as well though, and typically is in Kikue's case. It should be noted that Tsumi no Meiwaku may also be utilized to entrap portions of the body rather than the entirety of it. Additionally, once an individual is entirely encased, any attempt to externalizing chakra, will result in the strengthening of their bonds as the chakra will simply crystallize and add to the net density of their prison. This technique may be utilized—at any time—on the user as a last minute defense, and will crystallize far faster than it would when used on another.

Weakness: The technique can be broken out of by way of purely physical means, or may be avoided outright at times depending on its source. There are additional ways that one could break free, but they will be left up to the imagination.

Quiet, she had more or less followed her younger sister in, trailing a ways behind, taking everything in. She decided that she liked Konoha, or at least how it looked, though she didn't like the noisiness very much. Oh well, that would pass...hopefully. As the Hokage made himself known, welcoming them before he explained the test, Ayame smiled a bit. She was glad it was a team exercise, she was better at those than fighting people, though she wouldn't blame anyone who did want to just fight to get by. As people started flocking together a small frown crossed her face, that was until she heard her sister.

A small smile coming to her face, Ayame walked over to where Ai was more or less recruiting some other Iwagakure shinobi. She waved as she came into sight, "Greetings. I know we haven't really interacted much, but my name's Kouken, Ayame. I'm the fourth Ai is referring too." Her tone was very proper, her words enunciated clearly, her posture perfect. To anyone who paid attention, it was fairly obvious that she'd been groomed for something even if they didn't know exactly what.

Bowing to the two that weren't her sister, she said, "I hope we can get along." Raising her head she smiled gently, her purple eyes glittering slightly in the light.

^{TIME: Present Day - Morning | LOCATION: Konohagakure - Exam Stadium | INTERACTION: None}

Having entered hidden amongst the crowd of chuunin, a hooded figure lurked at the edges of the stadium's seats, watching over the events that were transpiring. He went largely ignored, people avoiding where he stood naturally and oddly not taking any real notice of his garb. As the Hokage announced the nature of the first exam, the figure turned his head and spat. The offensive projectile struck someone else in the back of the neck and they turned, putting a hand to the spot. Instantly disgust and then anger washed over their features. They approached the shrouded individual, already yelling at them—though their voice was lost in the throng of them. No one else took notice.

“Hey, what the hell do you think you're doing!? You spat on me, that's disgusting. I ought to beat your face in. In fact, we're abstaining from the retrieval test. It's stupid anyways. You and I, we're going to fight, and I'm gonna beat you into the ground.”

The figure's hood shifted as he looked down at the would-be jounin. “I'm not sure what's more dull, this test, your Hokage, or you,” a voice replied from within the dark folds of the hood. The to-be Jounin narrowed his eyes and crossed the rest of the distance, a hand coming up onto the figure's collar.

Hoisting him into the air with one arm, a look of anger on his face, he spat pure venom at the stranger. “Who the fuck do you think you are?! That's the man who allowed all of us to live in a peaceful world! That's the man who made all of us possible. Who made this possible! How FUCKING DARE YOU!!” The shinobi brought his hand back as if to punch the strange, silent figure, but instead manifested flames in that hand. Striking forwards he attempted to hit what had become his adversary.

The figure's response was swift. Both hands came up, one grabbing at the idiot's wrist, the other knocking the oncoming hand aside, sending the fireball into the air where it fizzled out.

Immediately there was the sound of shifting earth and cracking ice. In the next moment the would-be jounin found both his arms and shoulders entirely encased in what appeared to be crystal. He dropped the figure, who promptly walked past the idiot and then struck him in the back of the neck hard. Unable to stop himself from falling, the moron hit the ground, and the impact knocked him out cold.

It appeared the exams already had one failure...and no one had even noticed yet. Then again....

Turning back, the figure smiled within his hood, as two lights burned within...eyes, as if lit from within.

Walking back to the fool, he pinched a series of pressure points and rolled him over. In moments he was conscious again, with an ominous stranger looming over him. “You know what, I was just going to watch, but I think I'll call your little threat. We'll fight again soon enough. The difference will be that I won't be holding back.” The figure pulled away and walked off, melting into the crowd.

The would-be jounin, Deki Kabushiki was speechless, slightly bleeding from a gash on his forehead. He had no idea what he had just gotten himself into...unfortunately, he would soon find out that he was indeed quite over his head. It was unfortunate that he was too stupid to back out now.

Pride Incarnate [Griffintaur V.S. yoshua171] Rhay's Champion

Raelis Vaerkturian

Theme

---

Since Raelis had dodged to the left during his hidden approach he entirely evaded the potentially deadly crescent of wind that sliced through and somewhat disrupted the flames of his attack. Not optimal. Of course, unlike many forms of magic which conjured effects, Raelis' did not and as a result the heat energy he'd used to ignite the flame remained for a few moment, as did the light.

Of course light too was something he controlled. So, spreading out his influence, Raelis took hold of the light and had it flash into incredible brilliance. Seeing as Tharr had reacted quite readily despite the brightness of his flames before, he figured that perhaps the creature's eyes were similar to his own, making it easy for them to adjust to changes in illumination. It was time to test just how well they adjusted...and how quickly.

As the light bloomed it then, all at once, vanished in a sphere around them, pulled out of existence and into Raelis' body, hidden. There was no glow emanating even from his own eyes, yet, he could still sense the creature's shape and know its location. Within the creature's reach now, he shifted the movements of the wind holding him up, before releasing all the stored light in a flash, filling the entire area with blinding light once more.

In that light was superimposed the image of his sword arm drawn back for a slash even though he was barely in range.

What could he be up to now?

Nisekuru, Koutaku

General Data

Name: Iouchiryo, Koutaku.
Nickname/Alias: Nisekuru.
Gender: Male.
Age: 18.
Age Appearance: 18
Sexuality: Heterosexual.

Village: Konohagakure.
Birthplace: Unknown Location.

Organization: N/A.

Rank: C-B.
Position: Chuunin.
Chakra Nature: Wind.

Additional Appearance Details: Koutaku stands at 5'9, with his build being one of lean muscle and dexterous hands. He's got his mother's eyes and his father's nose, but more important are the positions of his gear, with his pouches for kunai, shuriken, wire, smoke bombs and pellets being stored on a belt around his waist. His explosive tags, however, remain under the garment seen in his reference above, concealed. All of his tools may be summoned.

History: Like most children born into well off clans Iouchiryo, Koutaku did not have an easy childhood, as his life was filled with training more than games of hide and seek or tag. While there were lulls in his training with the clan, much of his time was consumed by his tutors, who taught him the principles of the clan, the philosophy of combat, the art of war, and the beginnings of various theories as he got older. Still, some of his earliest memories are of being with either his parents, extended family, or tutors being quizzed, tested, or taught mental tricks. For unlike many clans, the Iouchiryo sought first to harness the powers of the mind, making certain that the children of their clan—even if they did not become shinobi—would be formidable each in their own way.

Beyond these memories that are other things of note, such as the mysterious nature of the world outside the compound as unlike many of his classmates, Koutaku was neither born nor raised in Konohagakure. Instead, he was raised on the secret clan compound of the mysterious Iouchiryo, a clan whose name was known in darker circles. They were like the ANBU of the shinobi world, except they were often for hire, and they were proclaimed to be even better. When most heard the name 'Iouchiryo,' it would mean nothing, but when shinobi heard it...heads turned, guards were raised, and attention was paid.

It was with these strange and reclusive people he was raised, and while he was trained rigorously he was allowed to play with those of his age, and so his childhood was not terrible. Unlike many children, he came to enjoy the training as it was often made fun, engaging, or at least challenging if nothing else. As he grew older competition for attention became fierce as those who had been his friends vied for the best teachers.

Koutaku however, was given—at the age of eight—a task, and that task was to move with his parents to take up residence in Konohagakure for reconnaissance and to aid in the effort to establish better relationships with the various governments of the villages allowing for better business in the future. Him and his parents accepted this mission and, disguised—thoroughly—as civilians, they made a home in the city, enrolling their supposedly eagerson into the local school while they decided to run a shop and gather information via the civilians first. In further effort to hide themselves, they changed their last names—as it was the only one the village's authorities might recognize.

Koutaku took to the academy quickly, but he held back in school, mostly to feign a lack of former education, thus making him stand out less. While he was recognized as talented, no one ever really gave him a second glance after a few years had passed, as he had come to fit in just fine. He succeeded, managing to impress some of his tutors, while others didn't like him much. While he'd had a good amount of the technical knowledge taught to him by the clan in years prior, the academy did help him develop his own style, and so he did grow alongside his classmates, creating at least a measure of kinship between them. So it was that he did his parents parents proud, which helped him build his self-confidence as he graduated and became a genin.

Over time, with his genin team changing members—in large part due to an unfortunate accident on one of their missions—Koutaku learned a lot, coming into contact with a wide variety of people during his team as a genin. With his team he grew considerably, becoming even more studious in his efforts to increase his own knowledge and hone his own skills. When the time came him and his team participated in the chuunin exams, and he and one other passed, with the third sadly not following in their stead due to his own lack of self-confidence.

Still, intent to rise up even further in the village, Koutaku took on the mantle of chuunin and went on what missions he could, eventually even partaking in a secret mission from his parents where he secreted away a set of information they'd retrieved illegally. As a result, both he and his parents passed when investigated by the authorities, with apologies and commendations being handed out in his case for his loyalty to the village. Life moved on...and then something happened, he came across a genjutsu user and nearly died—or thought he was going to—on a mission outside of the village. This reinforced his feat of genjutsu, but also made him face it. While truly coming into his own during this time, he also realized that it was of the utmost importance that he hide his biggest weakness from competitors...after all, the Jounin Exams are coming up, and he can't afford to fail.

Specialized Weapons & Items:

Name of Weapon or Item: Treated Holders.

Description: Rather than a simple item, this refers to all of the various pouches that Kōtaku uses to store his various tools and equipment. Essentially, he has treated the outside with heat and fluid resistant coatings in addition to having some of his more experienced relatives line the insides of the pouches with seals, protecting things like, say, his explosive tag pouch from being detonated easily. Should his explosive tag pouch be breached by something, the seal activates before being disrupted, essentially shredding his explosive tags before they can be detonated.

Summon

Name of Summon: Bōage.

Rank: B.
Affinity: Wind.
Abilities: Bōage is about 6 feet long from nose to tip, with a wingspan of about the same. The creature's feathers and scales are incredibly durable, allowing it to take even chakra infused strikes without being cut, though blunt force can do worse. Beyond this and its flight there are really only two notable things about Bōage. The first of these is that it becomes attuned to its user, allowing the two to act together...though at a certain cost. Second of these is the fact that Bōage's feathers can exude wind affinity chakra, which can amplify techniques of the same affinity provided they originate from its user.

This effect is called Ten no umō(_天の羽毛 'Heavenly Plumage') and can be activated and deactivated by either Bōage or their companion. Ten no umō has the ability to amplify all of the attributes of any given wind release technique the user might use, though it does not have to amplify all of them.

*Koutaku, due to the cost, only summons Bōage when absolutely necessary.

Weaknesses: As one might expect, Bōage is weak to fire due to its feathers and elemental affinity. Perhaps the biggest downside to summoning this creature is the steep cost. While a fair proportional amount of chakra is utilized to do so, Bōage will not heed the call or command of its master unless a sufficient blood sacrifice is made to it first. This means that either the summoner must acquire the blood of their enemies, or sacrifice a portion of their own blood to summon the beast.

Fear of Genjutsu: Koutaku can only kai out of D rank, and non threatening C rank genjutsu. Anything above this can only be overcome with pain. Anything threatening (scary, basically. Including pain or psychological torture) of A rank is very difficult for him to get out of, and S rank is essentially unavoidable.

Divine Inspiration – Deconstruction: Like all members of his clan, Koutaku once had the potential to have one “Divine Inspiration,” which would allow him to intuit either one specific thing or one somewhat broad type of thing, after which point he would be capable of making something extraordinary in that area. In Koutaku's case this “Divine Inspiration,” falls into the category of “Deconstruction,” allowing him to figure out how things work, taking them apart in his head, and then making something new out of the parts as it were. This makes him great at improving preexisting techniques and creating some novel ninjutsu, but limits his ability to learn things outside of his realm of study, that being ninjutsu. This trait is further limited by the fact that he only has access to the Wind affinity. It should be noted that this does not necessarily prevent him from learning techniques in other areas, it just prevents him from mastering those areas or truly innovating in them.

Custom Jutsu

Name of Technique: Ura Jōshō no Jutsu(_{裏上昇の術} 'Reverse climbing technique').
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu.
Rank: E.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: N/A.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: Using the same principles of the tree climbing technique with sufficient chakra control, the user may cause themselves to be pushed away from something with varying degrees of force depending on the amount of chakra applied.

Weakness: N/A.

====================

Name of Technique: Kiyō Sonae(_器用備え 'Dexterous arrangement').
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu.
Rank: D.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: N/A.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: Channeling chakra through one's own muscles, nerves, and other necessary tissues—typically within the arms, wrists and hands—the user enhances their ability to skillfully manipulate objects as well as increasing the speed at which they can do so. This technique should not be utilized for extended periods of time as it causes undue strain on the affected body parts. Despite this, it is relatively useful, and while it is a simple technique based on typical principles, it does require decent chakra control to fully utilize. This may make techniques such as Chakra Flow or other projected chakra-based abilities.

Weakness: Listed above.

====================

Name of Technique: Kazaho(_風歩 'Wind Step').
Type of Jutsu: Supplementary ninjutsu.
Rank: D.
Range: Personal.
Nature Type: Wind.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: Kneading wind chakra in one's feet, the user releases two rather small bursts of wind, one moving down, and the other up. While the strength can be altered via chakra distribution, the general effect causes the winds to clash almost like solid objects, propelling the user as if there was an invisible foothold in midair. The technique can be, as mentioned, modified to suit other purposes, but will never be strong enough to do any direct damage.

Weakness: Supplementary. Affinity weaknesses.

====================

Name of Technique: Kōdo Henge no Jutsu (_{高度変化の術} 'Advanced Transformation Technique').
Type of Jutsu: Supplementary ninjutsu.
Rank: C.
Range: Personal/Contact initiation.
Nature Type: N/A.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: Based on the Henge no Jutsu, this technique, through refined chakra control and coding, allows the user to dynamically transform themselves or objects more or less at will. To utilize the technique, the user must first channel their chakra into the desired object(s) or person(s) which they wish to affect at which pont they may alter or expand upon various aspects of the affected object(s) or person(s). Additionally, due to the chakra control required for this technique the user can often more swiftly transform things from form to form. It should be noted that, as the user's skill increases so to will their ability to cause complex or more numerous simultaneous transformations.

Weakness: Almost entirely supplementary and requires a small but continuous stream of chakra to maintain.

====================

Name of Technique: Shinkū-shitsu(_真空室 'Vacuum Chamber').
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu.
Rank: C.
Range: 10 meters.
Nature Type: Wind.
Handseals: 5.
Description: A two stage technique that first creates a cylindrical vacuum--its max size being 10 meters long with a radius of 1.5 meters. Within the 'tunnel' there is no air or air friction, but gravity persists. Stage two is activated by a flux of chakra and causes the redirected air to be sent down the tunnel in a concussive blast capable of sending anything 300 lbs and below flying 10 meters plus the length of the 'tunnel' not already traveled by the blast. The size of the 'tunnel' can be modified, with its chakra consumption--usually--and movable weight--always--scaling with its size. At the aforementioned maximum output the technique takes 1/5th of Koutaku's chakra pool, meaning he can only use it in this manner 5 times with a full chakra pool before losing consciousness.

*I.E, technique creates a vacuum and then uses it like a cannon to fire wind. Can be used three times per day at max output

Weakness: Affinity weaknesses.

====================

Name of Technique: Ten no Tsunzaku(_天の劈く 'Pierce the Heavens').
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu.
Rank: C.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: Wind.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: Palming a kunai, the user slips it onto a finger and begins spinning it while inputting chakra using Wind affinity Chakra Flow. The longer the kunai is spun the more chakra is channeled into it and the further, and faster, it will go when released. Due to the sheer speed of the technique, anything below 10 meters away can be considered to be at point blank range.

Weakness: The technique requires the user have one hand free and limits the speed of their handseals as a result. If the user cannot spin a kunai on their finger they cannot use the technique and they also cannot use it without a kunai.

====================

Name of Technique: Asshuku Saya(_圧縮鞘 'Compression Sheath').
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu.
Rank: C.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: Wind.
Handseals: 2.
Description: Preforming one handseal to initiate the technique, the user will use Chakra Flow on an item, pressing wind affinity chakra into it. Once activated any air that comes into contact with the implement will be pulled into a thin layer of chakra coating the weapon and pressurized. The more air pulled in, the greater the pressure. The user may use a second handseal to release the wind, otherwise it will be released/detonated upon contact with a foreign surface, creature, or individual.

Weakness: Requires some kind of object, typically throwable, be on the user's person, possesses the typical affinity weaknesses of wind release techniques, and is not terribly powerful unless given time to build up.

====================

Name of Technique: Jiku Tenkō(_軸転向 'Axis Conversion').
Type of Jutsu: Supplementary Ninjutsu.
Rank: C.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: Wind.
Handseals: 2.
Description: Infusing wind affinity chakra into an object during the use of Chakra Flow, the user can then, at any moment, utilize one additional handseal to have the object release the stored wind chakra, swiveling the object on an axis, and then releasing the rest of the chakra in a potent blast of wind, sending the item hurtling in the new direction. This technique can be utilized on objects held or thrown.

Weakness: Requires the use of an object, thus the user must have an object. Is affected by affinity weaknesses as well. Only one instance of the technique can be active on a given item at a time.

====================

Name of Technique: Kensei-are(_牽制荒れ 'Feint Gale').
Type of Jutsu: Nintaijutsu; Sensory; Supplementary.
Rank: C.
Range: Personal.
Nature Type: Wind.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: Requiring for the Koutaku to remain stationary for 3-10 seconds to initiate the technique, he will regulate the flow of his chakra into his physical body via his breathing. Once his breath and his chakra are in sync he begins releasing a small amount of wind chakra from his hands, feet, chest, and back. The wind affinity chakra is subtle and nigh undetectable unless there is sufficient dirt, dust, or debris to tip someone off. This chakra flows up the arms from the hands, up the legs from the feet, and across the chest, back, and head from the two release points on the chest and back. Ironically, the weak point of the technique is the head.

The purpose of Kensei-are is as such, it allows the user to, at will, harden or relax the body with greater ease, amplifying the strength and responsiveness in general, while the surrounding wind chakra can reduce the momentum behind strikes or be 'streamed' outwards to augment and redirect the user's own trajectory.

Weakness: The wind chakra can only be streamed from the aforementioned points on the body (chest, back, hands, and feet). While the technique is not chakra intensive to activate it does quickly consume chakra, leaving him at roughly 1/5th of his total pool by the time three minutes have passed.

====================

Name of Technique: Senshi jōgo(_穿刺漏斗 'Piercing Funnel').
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu.
Rank: B.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: Wind.
Handseals: 5.
Description: Building on Asshuku Saya, this technique creates a tiny vaccuum or funnel into which wind is pulled. This process occurs at a decent pace, but is considerably faster if it is applied to a moving object. Performing the final handseal, the user wills the gathered wind into a shape with their chakra, binding it as such. The resulting wind revolves at high speed whilst retaining its form, creating a devastating slicing or piercing attack. May amplify other techniques.

Weakness: Affinity weaknesses. Additionally, Senshi jōgo cannot be utilized alongside Jiku Tenkō. The technique must be applied to an object—no more than two at once—and drains 1/4th of his total chakra pool per use. The technique may be more or less effective depending on the shape it is willed to take. While the technique can be maintained for a two minutes, if left alone, it becomes weaker over that period of time, reducing its effectiveness.

The first of these is that it becomes attuned to its user, allowing the two to act together...though at a certain cost. Second of these is the fact that Bōage's feathers can exude wind affinity chakra, which can amplify techniques of the same affinity provided they originate from its user.

This effect is called Ten no umō(_天の羽毛 'Heavenly Plumage') and can be activated and deactivated by either Bōage or their companion. Ten no umō has the ability to amplify all of the attributes of any given wind release technique the user might use, though it does not have to amplify all of them.

*Koutaku, due to the cost, only summons Bōage when absolutely necessary.

Weaknesses: As one might expect, Bōage is weak to fire due to its feathers and elemental affinity. Perhaps the biggest downside to summoning this creature is the steep cost. While a fair proportional amount of chakra is utilized to do so, Bōage will not heed the call or command of its master unless a sufficient blood sacrifice is made to it first. This means that either the summoner must acquire the blood of their enemies, or sacrifice a portion of their own blood to summon the beast.

Fear of Genjutsu: Koutaku can only kai out of D rank, and non threatening C rank genjutsu. Anything above this can only be overcome with pain. Anything threatening (scary, basically. Including pain or psychological torture) of A rank is very difficult for him to get out of, and S rank is essentially unavoidable.

Divine Inspiration – Deconstruction: Like all members of his clan, Koutaku once had the potential to have one “Divine Inspiration,” which would allow him to intuit either one specific thing or one somewhat broad type of thing, after which point he would be capable of making something extraordinary in that area. In Koutaku's case this “Divine Inspiration,” falls into the category of “Deconstruction,” allowing him to figure out how things work, taking them apart in his head, and then making something new out of the parts as it were. This makes him great at improving preexisting techniques and creating some novel ninjutsu, but limits his ability to learn things outside of his realm of study, that being ninjutsu. This trait is further limited by the fact that he only has access to the Wind affinity. It should be noted that this does not necessarily prevent him from learning techniques in other areas, it just prevents him from mastering those areas or truly innovating in them.

Custom Jutsu

Name of Technique: Ura Jōshō no Jutsu(_{裏上昇の術} 'Reverse climbing technique').
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu.
Rank: E.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: N/A.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: Using the same principles of the tree climbing technique with sufficient chakra control, the user may cause themselves to be pushed away from something with varying degrees of force depending on the amount of chakra applied.

Weakness: N/A.

====================

Name of Technique: Kiyō Sonae(_器用備え 'Dexterous arrangement').
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu.
Rank: D.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: N/A.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: Channeling chakra through one's own muscles, nerves, and other necessary tissues—typically within the arms, wrists and hands—the user enhances their ability to skillfully manipulate objects as well as increasing the speed at which they can do so. This technique should not be utilized for extended periods of time as it causes undue strain on the affected body parts. Despite this, it is relatively useful, and while it is a simple technique based on typical principles, it does require decent chakra control to fully utilize. This may make techniques such as Chakra Flow or other projected chakra-based abilities.

Weakness: Listed above.

====================

Name of Technique: Kazaho(_風歩 'Wind Step').
Type of Jutsu: Supplementary ninjutsu.
Rank: D.
Range: Personal.
Nature Type: Wind.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: Kneading wind chakra in one's feet, the user releases two rather small bursts of wind, one moving down, and the other up. While the strength can be altered via chakra distribution, the general effect causes the winds to clash almost like solid objects, propelling the user as if there was an invisible foothold in midair. The technique can be, as mentioned, modified to suit other purposes, but will never be strong enough to do any direct damage.

Weakness: Supplementary. Affinity weaknesses.

====================

Name of Technique: Kōdo Henge no Jutsu (_{高度変化の術} 'Advanced Transformation Technique').
Type of Jutsu: Supplementary ninjutsu.
Rank: C.
Range: Personal/Contact initiation.
Nature Type: N/A.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: Based on the Henge no Jutsu, this technique, through refined chakra control and coding, allows the user to dynamically transform themselves or objects more or less at will. To utilize the technique, the user must first channel their chakra into the desired object(s) which they wish to affect at which point they may alter or expand upon various aspects of the affected object(s). Additionally, due to the chakra control required for this technique the user can often more swiftly transform things from form to form. It should be noted that, as the user's skill increases so to will their ability to cause complex or more numerous simultaneous transformations.

The effects of this technique are more like transmutation than anything else, as the user either folds a material into itself with chakra, or uses chakra to create a shell with certain properties designated by the user. As a result, the transformations caused by this technique have a greater level of solidity than normal transformations. This increased solidity is caused by the increased chakra cost and chakra control necessary for the technique.

Weakness: Almost entirely supplementary and requires a small but continuous stream of chakra to maintain. The user cannot transform themselves or objects beyond a certain size in either direction.

*No insect transformation for the user or a similarly sized object.

====================

Name of Technique: Shinkū-shitsu(_真空室 'Vacuum Chamber').
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu.
Rank: C.
Range: 10 meters.
Nature Type: Wind.
Handseals: 5.
Description: A two stage technique that first creates a cylindrical vacuum--its max size being 10 meters long with a radius of 1.5 meters. Within the 'tunnel' there is no air or air friction, but gravity persists. Stage two is activated by a flux of chakra and causes the redirected air to be sent down the tunnel in a concussive blast capable of sending anything 300 lbs and below flying 10 meters plus the length of the 'tunnel' not already traveled by the blast. The size of the 'tunnel' can be modified, with its chakra consumption--usually--and movable weight--always--scaling with its size. At the aforementioned maximum output the technique takes 1/5th of Koutaku's chakra pool, meaning he can only use it in this manner 5 times with a full chakra pool before losing consciousness.

*I.E, technique creates a vacuum and then uses it like a cannon to fire wind. Can be used three times per day at max output

Weakness: Affinity weaknesses.

====================

Name of Technique: Ten no Tsunzaku(_天の劈く 'Pierce the Heavens').
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu.
Rank: C.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: Wind.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: Palming a kunai, the user slips it onto a finger and begins spinning it while inputting chakra using Wind affinity Chakra Flow. The longer the kunai is spun the more chakra is channeled into it and the further, and faster, it will go when released. Due to the sheer speed of the technique, anything below 10 meters away can be considered to be at point blank range.

Weakness: The technique requires the user have one hand free and limits the speed of their handseals as a result. If the user cannot spin a kunai on their finger they cannot use the technique and they also cannot use it without a kunai.

====================

Name of Technique: Asshuku Saya(_圧縮鞘 'Compression Sheath').
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu.
Rank: C.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: Wind.
Handseals: 2.
Description: Preforming one handseal to initiate the technique, the user will use Chakra Flow on an item, pressing wind affinity chakra into it. Once activated any air that comes into contact with the implement will be pulled into a thin layer of chakra coating the weapon and pressurized. The more air pulled in, the greater the pressure. The user may use a second handseal to release the wind, otherwise it will be released/detonated upon contact with a foreign surface, creature, or individual.

Weakness: Requires some kind of object, typically throwable, be on the user's person, possesses the typical affinity weaknesses of wind release techniques, and is not terribly powerful unless given time to build up.

====================

Name of Technique: Jiku Tenkō(_軸転向 'Axis Conversion').
Type of Jutsu: Supplementary Ninjutsu.
Rank: C.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: Wind.
Handseals: 2.
Description: Infusing wind affinity chakra into an object during the use of Chakra Flow, the user can then, at any moment, utilize one additional handseal to have the object release the stored wind chakra, swiveling the object on an axis, and then releasing the rest of the chakra in a potent blast of wind, sending the item hurtling in the new direction. This technique can be utilized on objects held or thrown.

Weakness: Requires the use of an object, thus the user must have an object. Is affected by affinity weaknesses as well. Only one instance of the technique can be active on a given item at a time.

====================

Name of Technique: Kensei-are(_牽制荒れ 'Feint Gale/).
Type of Jutsu: Nintaijutsu; Sensory; Supplementary.
Rank: C.
Range: Personal.
Nature Type: Wind.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: Requiring for the Koutaku to remain stationary for 3-10 seconds to initiate the technique, he will regulate the flow of his chakra into his physical body via his breathing. Once his breath and his chakra are in sync he begins releasing a small amount of wind chakra from his hands, feet, chest, and back. The wind affinity chakra is subtle and nigh undetectable unless there is sufficient dirt, dust, or debris to tip someone off. This chakra flows up the arms from the hands, up the legs from the feet, and across the chest, back, and head from the two release points on the chest and back. Ironically, the weak point of the technique is the head.

The purpose of Kensei-are is as such, it allows the user to, at will, harden or relax the body with greater ease, amplifying the strength and responsiveness in general, while the surrounding wind chakra can reduce the momentum behind strikes or be 'streamed' outwards to augment and redirect the user's own trajectory.

Weakness: The wind chakra can only be streamed from the aforementioned points on the body (chest, back, hands, and feet). While the technique is not chakra intensive to activate it does quickly consume chakra, leaving him at roughly 1/5th of his total pool by the time three minutes have passed.

====================

Name of Technique: Senshi jōgo(_穿刺漏斗 'Piercing Funnel').
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu.
Rank: B.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: Wind.
Handseals: 5.
Description: Building on Asshuku Saya, this technique creates a tiny vaccuum or funnel into which wind is pulled. This process occurs at a decent pace, but is considerably faster if it is applied to a moving object. Performing the final handseal, the user wills the gathered wind into a shape with their chakra, binding it as such. The resulting wind revolves at high speed whilst retaining its form, creating a devastating slicing or piercing attack. May amplify other techniques.

Weakness: Affinity weaknesses. Additionally, Senshi jōgo cannot be utilized alongside Jiku Tenkō. The technique must be applied to an object—no more than two at once—and drains 1/4th of his total chakra pool per use. The technique may be more or less effective depending on the shape it is willed to take. While the technique can be maintained for a two minutes, if left alone, it becomes weaker over that period of time, reducing its effectiveness.

Chuunin Koutaku

Nisekuru, Koutaku -

General Data

Name: Iouchiryo, Koutaku.
Nickname/Alias: Nisekuru.
Gender: Male.
Age: 18.
Age Appearance: 18
Sexuality: Heterosexual.

Village: Konohagakure.
Birthplace: Unknown Location.

Organization: N/A.

Rank: C.
Position: Chuunin.
Chakra Nature: Wind.

Additional Appearance Details: Koutaku stands at 5'9, with his build being one of lean muscle and dexterous hands. He's got his mother's eyes and his father's nose, but more important are the positions of his gear, with his pouches for kunai, shuriken, wire, smoke bombs and pellets being stored on a belt around his waist. His explosive tags, however, remain under the garment seen in his reference above, concealed. All of his tools may be summoned.

History: Like most children born into well off clans Iouchiryo, Koutaku did not have an easy childhood, as his life was filled with training more than games of hide and seek or tag. While there were lulls in his training with the clan, much of his time was consumed by his tutors, who taught him the principles of the clan, the philosophy of combat, the art of war, and the beginnings of various theories as he got older. Still, some of his earliest memories are of being with either his parents, extended family, or tutors being quizzed, tested, or taught mental tricks. For unlike many clans, the Iouchiryo sought first to harness the powers of the mind, making certain that the children of their clan—even if they did not become shinobi—would be formidable each in their own way.

Beyond these memories that are other things of note, such as the mysterious nature of the world outside the compound as unlike many of his classmates, Koutaku was neither born nor raised in Konohagakure. Instead, he was raised on the secret clan compound of the mysterious Iouchiryo, a clan whose name was known in darker circles. They were like the ANBU of the shinobi world, except they were often for hire, and they were proclaimed to be even better. When most heard the name 'Iouchiryo,' it would mean nothing, but when shinobi heard it...heads turned, guards were raised, and attention was paid.

It was with these strange and reclusive people he was raised, and while he was trained rigorously he was allowed to play with those of his age, and so his childhood was not terrible. Unlike many children, he came to enjoy the training as it was often made fun, engaging, or at least challenging if nothing else. As he grew older competition for attention became fierce as those who had been his friends vied for the best teachers.

Koutaku however, was given—at the age of eight—a task, and that task was to move with his parents to take up residence in Konohagakure for reconnaissance and to aid in the effort to establish better relationships with the various governments of the villages allowing for better business in the future. Him and his parents accepted this mission and, disguised—thoroughly—as civilians, they made a home in the city, enrolling their supposedly eagerson into the local school while they decided to run a shop and gather information via the civilians first. In further effort to hide themselves, they changed their last names—as it was the only one the village's authorities might recognize.

Koutaku took to the academy quickly, but he held back in school, mostly to feign a lack of former education, thus making him stand out less. While he was recognized as talented, no one ever really gave him a second glance after a few years had passed, as he had come to fit in just fine. He succeeded, managing to impress some of his tutors, while others didn't like him much. While he'd had a good amount of the technical knowledge taught to him by the clan in years prior, the academy did help him develop his own style, and so he did grow alongside his classmates, creating at least a measure of kinship between them. So it was that he did his parents parents proud, which helped him build his self-confidence as he graduated and became a genin.

Over time, with his genin team changing members—in large part due to an unfortunate accident on one of their missions—Koutaku learned a lot, coming into contact with a wide variety of people during his team as a genin. With his team he grew considerably, becoming even more studious in his efforts to increase his own knowledge and hone his own skills. When the time came him and his team participated in the chuunin exams, and he and one other passed, with the third sadly not following in their stead due to his own lack of self-confidence.

Still, intent to rise up even further in the village, Koutaku took on the mantle of chuunin and went on what missions he could, eventually even partaking in a secret mission from his parents where he secreted away a set of information they'd retrieved illegally. As a result, both he and his parents passed when investigated by the authorities, with apologies and commendations being handed out in his case for his loyalty to the village. Life moved on...and then something happened, he came across a genjutsu user and nearly died—or thought he was going to—on a mission outside of the village. This reinforced his feat of genjutsu, but also made him face it. While truly coming into his own during this time, he also realized that it was of the utmost importance that he hide his biggest weakness from competitors...after all, the Jounin Exams are coming up, and he can't afford to fail.

Name of Weapon or Item: Treated Holders.

Description: Rather than a simple item, this refers to all of the various pouches that Kōtaku uses to store his various tools and equipment. Essentially, he has treated the outside with heat and fluid resistant coatings in addition to having some of his more experienced relatives line the insides of the pouches with seals, protecting things like, say, his explosive tag pouch from being detonated easily. Should his explosive tag pouch be breached by something, the seal activates before being disrupted, essentially shredding his explosive tags before they can be detonated.

Description: Building on Asshuku Saya, this technique creates a tiny vaccuum or funnel into which wind is pulled. This process occurs at a decent pace, but is considerably faster if it is applied to a moving object. Performing the final handseal, the user wills the gathered wind into a shape with their chakra, binding it as such. The resulting wind revolves at high speed whilst retaining its form, creating a devastating slicing or piercing attack. May amplify other techniques.

Weakness: Affinity weaknesses. Additionally, Senshi jōgo cannot be utilized alongside Jiku Tenkō.

Adult/Kage Koutaku

Chōkoku-ka no Nendo(彫刻家の粘土 ‘Sculptor’s Clay’).
Weapon that can store up to two transformations. Any transformation used on this weapon becomes permanent and does not need to be maintained. Furthermore, transformations are more efficient/effective on the tool (they cost less chakra).

Kikai Kara no Kami(機械からの神 ‘Deus Ex Machina’).
The final evolution of the transformation technique, Kikai Kara no Kami allows Koutaku to transform things into states or forms that only exist in theory or as ideas rather than purely drawing inspiration from known/observed phenomena. This is done by adding a hint of yin chakra to the technique--to oversimplify it greatly.

Chakra Nature: Yōton(Fire+Earth).

Additional Appearance Details: Yatsu is 5'9 and weighs about 180 lbs. Beneath his clothes he is well muscled, but not at all grotesque. There are burn scars along his forearms from when he was not yet a master of his affinity.

History: Unsure, will attempt to figure out.

Hailing from a little known clan with little in the way of affiliation or alliances, Kazayatsu was one of several children raised by the entire clan as was their custom. Though the Great War raged on during his youth he was largely ignorant to it despite the training he and his relatives endured in their youth. It was not until the age of 10, when he had distinguished himself from his peers, that the war truly became real to him.

A raid came upon their compound in the night and, despite his training, he could do little against the adult shinobi. Nonetheless there were few casualties, for mostly supplies had been taken. Sadly, Kazayatsu was not a boy with good luck, so he was one of those few who lost someone that day. With no time for a funeral for the dead, the clan picked up camp, in hopes of finding somewhere more secluded where the war would touch them less. In the wake of this, Kazayatsu had little time to grieve his mother.

Thrown into an even harsher training regimen, Kazayatsu and the entirety of the youth population were turned into child weapons, and though the clan wished to flee the terrible conflicts of war, they were indeed used as such. Raiders, battlefields, bandits, and passing armies terrorized their clan, but they stood steadfast and kept on, with Kazayatsu, the adults, and the other kids defending them as they moved. It was hell, seeing his friends and those he looked up to falling like flies around him, even with the strange morals that his clan taught it just...seemed terrible. Still, while the everyday grind was one thing, the Battle of Black Forest was another. Passing through the territory of the Land of Fire their troupe was ambushed in a forest by a group of mercenaries looking for supplies, soldiers, and women.

Taken off guard, the clan was hardly prepared for the strike and many fell even in the initial struggle. Many died that night, and many more would as the sun rose above the trees. With shinobi left and right, killing and attempting to capture those he loved, something snapped in Kazayatsu and it was like a door opened to Hell itself. Cornered by a group of eight shinobi in a thick copse away from the rest of the fighting, what the adults saw as a thirteen year old child became a demon, fire and ash rolling off his form to consume everything. The shinobi, having one water release shinobi, lasted longer than most might, but Kazayatsu's newly awakened Kekkei Genkai, and rage won out. He left that copse burning, and the forest burned with it. Wherever he went, their enemies died and while he perhaps saved his clan, they did not respect him for it, they feared him.

Treated as a pariah from that point onwards, Kazayatsu was chained up, seals placed on his body to prevent his use of chakra. Whenever fighting needed doing he was released on their enemies. The number of people he killed piling up as the months swept by. People stopped calling him his name and started calling him Kuroyaju: The Black Beast. This continued until his clan found a secluded, defensible position, where they still live to this day. Of course, while the fighting stopped soon after that, the Great War coming to a close, his strife did not, for the clan no long had any use for him and so cast him from their ranks.

Wandering for many days and scrounging up whatever food he could, Kazayatsu eventually made it to a small village in the Land of Stone, beaten, half out of his mind, and starving. He passed out at the edge of the village.

When he woke up a day later he did so in a small cottage in town where Sukui, an old widow, had taken him in. Sukui took care of him, nursing him back to health, treating him like her own child. He grew to care about her, and she about him. Things were good for a time, what with peace having fallen over the lands, and with him no longer fighting for his clan's survival.

Still, as he grew up, dealing with the traumas of war, abandonment, and being treated like a monster rather than a person for so long he became discontented with life. Eventually, when he was only 16 he bid Sukui thanks, and departed, leaving with her all the money he had saved over their time together.

Striking out on his own, Yatsu took to mercenary work, using his old skills to do the dirty work of others. When he had saved enough he started changing his practices, taking jobs, only to fail or both them entirely at the expense of those who would use violence to attain what they desired. It was the folly of a young man, but it helped. As time dragged on he eventually came to grow past the horrors of his childhood, with the beauty of the world and some of the people in it becoming the things he truly cared about. At the age of 19 he had found his way to Iwagakure, where after a long period, he became an official shinobi of the village. While work dwindled for people of his profession, he kept things up, helping the community however he could in addition to protecting it whenever he had the chance.

He became well known in Iwagakure for his thoughtfulness, good humor, and dedication to the people not to mention his ability to drink most under the table.

During this time the Tsuchikage had been keeping a close eye on the outsider, and as his age slowly caught up to him he decided to take Kazayatsu under his wing. However, he did so privately so as not to sway the people as the reality was that he was training several younger shinobi to take his seat when he was gone. Yatsu took to the elder's teachings as if he'd been born to them, eager due to the man's accepting and open nature. The months passed and the Tsuchikage's age truly took hold, eventually driving him to hold a series of tests in which the next Tsuchikage would be chosen.

The eight disciples, including Kazayatsu, took part, along with eight others. Out of the ten tests, Kazayatsu lost only one, and it was the combat stage. So it was, that day, that he was given the title of Tsuchikage elect. In the coming months he was acclimated to the position of leadership with the Tsuchikage looking over his shoulder to make sure all was well. Finally, when he felt that Kazayatsu was ready, he rested...and on that night he passed away quietly in his sleep. The next day was one of grieving for Iwagakure and no one was more sad than Yatsu, who even cried as he gave his speech at the late Tsuchikage's funeral.

However, as the sun rose on the next day preparations were made for his rise to the position of Kage. So it was that two days after his mentor's funeral, Kazayatsu became the Tsuchikage. That was seven years ago and since then Yatsu has become even more adored by the citizens for the most part.

Yet, beneath the surface something lurks, for no man is always as good as he says he is...and Kazayatsu is no exception. The question is, what exactly is he hiding beneath all that kindness and whimsy?

What indeed.

Personality: Kazayatsu, or Yatsu as he prefers, is an intelligent man with an appreciation for the finer things. Travel, art, beautiful women, theater, tea, and to a more limited extent, alcohol are the things that he lives for, preferring to just let himself coast down the highway of life. Yet he remains a man with dual nature who takes great pleasure in truly testing his mettle against those of equal strength or mind, preferably both. Though, oddly, he prefers to do so through games or intellectual jousting, rather than physical conflict. Of course, this is not to say that he has a particular distaste for conflict or strife, but rather to say that he'd prefer not to exert the physical and energetic effort that it takes to partake in such.

Beyond this, Yatsu is a dedicated, eccentric, and steadfast individual who cares about both others and himself to a fairly equal degree, even going out of his way not to kill his opponents when possible. In fact, he has the tendency of using intimidation, and to a more limited degree, pain, to pacify his adversaries and remove his obstacles. This way, even if they live with trauma, they do live. After all, that's what matters isn't it?

P.S. He's a quirky guy with a strange sense of humor, beware.

Name of Weapon or Item: Tōki Shinzō(_陶器心臓 'Earthen Heart').

Description: A deadly implement, Tōki Shinzō is capable of collapsing into itself, reducing it to the size of a cane when not in use. The weapon is completely resistant to heat energy, making it impossible to melt. Infused with chakra it is both conductive of it, as well as being quite durable. Do not expect to dent or cut it. The most notable ability of Tōki is that it is capable of acting as a conduit or catalyst for the user's jutsu so long as their chakra is within it.

【Kekkei Genkai】

Name of Kekkei Genkai: Yōton(_熔遁 'Lava Release').
Clan: N/A.
Description: A very versatile nature transformation, Kazayatsu's Yōton allows him access to any permutation of lava, in addition to minor applications of the rubber-like substance that Yōton has been seen to create in other instances. This means that Yatsu is capable of creating and manipulating solid volcanic rock, liquid lava—as well as the states between—and of course volcanic glass(obsidian). This affinity is weak against water or abilities involving incredibly cold temperatures.

【Fighting Style】

[+]

Possessing no real name, Yatsu's close quarters fighting style is characterized by the use of a spear and disruptive movements, as well as minimalizing the user's own movements. This makes his style difficult to predict and typically means it takes on a more defensive or disruptive nature, throwing adversaries off balance with well placed strikes and adjustments of position. Yatsu's brand of this style's offensive half mixes in the use of ninjutsu to cause pain and damage in the interest of debilitating or disabling an opponent—though he can easily adjust to deal fatal blows instead. This style is focused on precision rather than overwhelming physical strength or speed.

Rank: C.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: Yōton.
Handseals: N/A.

Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu.
Rank: C.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: Yōton.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: Burying his spear in the ground, or directly arresting control of the Yōton chakra infused into the ground, the user will alter their location by moving the lava they stand upon, effectively allowing them to dodge without moving a muscle.

Weakness: Affinity weaknesses. High speed to an extent.

====================

Name of Technique: Yōgan hokō no jutsu(_{溶岩歩行の術} 'Lava Walking Technique').
Type of Jutsu: Supplementary ninjutsu.
Rank: B.
Range: Personal.
Nature Type: Yōton; Fire.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: Channeling chakra to his feet just like the Water Walking Technique, the user instead uses their Yōton to regulate the heat energy that would hit their body. This technique, when mastered, becomes largely passive, allowing the individual to essentially ignore being surrounded by incredibly high temperatures unless being directly burned. Also, as implied, allows the user to walk on lava. Additionally, this allows the user to seamlessly ride, walk, or run on fast moving fluids or semi-fluids like mud or lava.

Weakness: Entirely supplementary.

====================

Name of Technique: Ryūtsū(_流通 'Flow Regulation').
Type of Jutsu: Shape-manipulation ninjutsu.
Rank: A.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: Yōton; Fire.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: A somewhat passive technique, this allows its user to regulate and manipulate the movement and temperature of his lava and to a degree, the air around it. While theoretically simple, Ryūtsū is a technique that requires a certain degree of focus and attention to detail giving it the potential for complex manipulation by a masterful user.

Weakness: Requires the user to concentrate and thus cannot be properly utilized if they are dedicated to other actions, such as close-ranged combat.

====================

Name of Technique: Tsūki kō(_通気孔 'Vent').
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu.
Rank: B.
Range: 10 meters.
Nature Type: Yōton.
Handseals: 0 or 4.
Description: Referring to three distinct uses, this technique can either be activated from preexisting lava, from his body, or from his spear. When utilized from preexisting lava, a build up of heat energy occurs deeper in the lava. Upon the user's mental command the pressure and heat are released upwards, blasting powerful geysers or sprays of lava out of the pool(s). If this technique is used from his person or his spear it acts similarly, but instead uses Yōton chakra directly, releasing a blast of lava in the direction his hand or the tip of his spear are aimed. The first two uses require handseals, while the second does not. This technique can be used to cool down the lava as well. Additionally, when used from his hands the technique takes about 2 seconds to charge, whereas preexisting lava takes about 4 seconds, and the spear takes none since its use requires Sainan-shu to have already been utilized.

Weakness: Affinity weaknesses. Additionally there is a clear bubbling effect on the surface of preexisting lava, and a sudden release of heat energy a second prior to the release of the technique regardless of source.

====================

Name of Technique: Sainan-shu(_災難種 'Disaster seed').
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu.
Rank: A.
Range: Contact.
Nature Type: Yōton.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: Channeling Yōton chakra through Tōki, the user will form a seed shaped shell of dense volcanic rock, within which is a lava of incredibly high temperatures. The user may pack as much or as little chakra into the seed as they wish and it may be used for a variety of purposes. The two most notable ones are to chain into other jutsu by inserting them into the ground via the spear, or conversely stabbing someone with the spearhead, causing the seed to release a small volcanic explosion as a result, which can cause severe burning and tissue damage.

Weakness: Affinity weaknesses mostly. Takes 2 seconds minimum to form a single seed, the more chakra infused, the longer it takes.

====================

Name of Technique: The Floor is Lava.
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu.
Rank: A.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: Yōton.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: Either requiring one held handseal, or his spear, this technique pours yōton chakra into the ground below the user or in contact with the spearhead transmuting it rapidly into magma. This effect can be spread further either naturally by allowing the heat to transfer to nearby earth, or manually by spreading the chakra out to create a larger area of magma. The first is slower than the second, but also requires less chakra.

Weakness: Water affinity. Additionally the technique is fairly costly in terms of chakra, though this scales with the size of the area.

====================

Name of Technique: Ko o Moyasu( 'Searing Arc').
Type of Jutsu: Nintaijutsu.
Rank: B.
Range: 5 meters.
Nature Type: Yōton.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: Utilizing Chakra Flow on his spear with yōton chakra, the user slashes in an arc, creating a searing crescent, small wave, or burst of superheated air. This crescent can only travel so far, making it a close-ranged attack, but on contact can cause immensely painful third degree burns, or set fire to any reasonably flammable substance. The technique does not cost a lot of chakra, but is high ranked due to the damage it can do.

Weakness: Affinity weaknesses. Low range.

====================

Name of Technique: Hazumu Shi(_弾む死 'Bouncy Death').
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu.
Rank: C.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: Yōton.
Handseals: 3.
Description: Utilizing yōton chakra, the user will create a small ball with long thin spikes protruding from it from all sides. These spikes are composed of a mixture of obsidian and solidified lava, with the obsidian being on the outer layer. Once formed, the user will exude more yōton chakra, which they will mold into a rubber-like substance around the spiked ball, with the spikes protruding from it. This creates a projectile that can stab with the spikes, while bouncing off of surfaces.

Weakness: Can be dodged fairly easily and is not terribly useful unless used in enclosed spaces.

====================

Name of Technique: Gomu Saya(_ゴム鞘 'Rubber Sheath').
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu.
Rank: B.
Range: Contact.
Nature Type: Yōton.
Handseals: 1.
Description: Executing the single handseal, the user places their hand on an object and molds yōton chakra, creating a layer of the rubber-like substance over whatever they are touching. This technique can be used on a weapon to turn it into a nigh harmless sparring implement or on the user to give them a form of rubber armor. It should be noted that if used as armor, the rubber does have holes to let air through, though over time it may start to restrict the user's breathing. When used as armor, the rubber-like substance takes on the outwards appearance of the user, but with a slightly orange sheen, including skin and clothing.

Weakness: Is more resistant to cutting trauma than it is blunt force making wind affinity particularly useful. Fire affinity is moderately useful, as is earth, whereas water and lightning are essentially useless.

====================

Name of Technique: Yōton yoroi: Shōgeki-gata(_{溶殻鎧: 衝撃型} 'Lava Release Armor: Ballistic Form').
Type of Jutsu: Nintaijutsu.
Rank: A.
Range: Personal.
Nature Type: Yōton.
Handseals: 8.
Description: One of Yatsu's few complex jutsu, this technique is also seldom used by him due to his tendency to avoid close-quarters combat out of pure laziness. This technique works by coating the user in two layers of yōton chakra, which then solidify into two different forms. The first layer, closest to the skin, is a rubber-like material, while the second layer out is hardened volcanic rock. This armor affords a measure of protection against both piercing and blunt force attacks.

Weakness: The outer layer is vulnerable to lightning affinity, while the inner layer is most vulnerable to wind affinity. Additionally, the 'armor' is fairly heavy, preventing the user from high speed movement in favor of superior defense.
