Transported into an open field with only the very slightest of breezes, he didn’t even bother to glance around. He didn’t wait for their proctor to say or do anything, instead he simply performed the three necessary handseals and activated a technique.

Yūrei Tanshoku(_幽霊淡色 'Ghost Light').

A fine particulate mist spread from his person, dispersing and passing from visible to invisible in barely two seconds. Glancing across the field, his glowing eyes noted the distance between them. About 10 meters, not terribly far really. Watching in silence, robes billowing forwards gently, moving almost as if drawn towards Deki.

“Been thinking about how you did that earlier. Gotta say, I’m going to pay you back 10 fold for that! Cut my flesh, I’LL CUT YOUR BONE! Remember the name Deki.”

The same jonin candidate as before looked the cloaked figure dead in the face as he cracked his knuckles. He too started a series of handsigns, fire beginning to wreath each of his fingers.

“Aren’t you going to at least say your name? Makes marking your tombstone easier.”

The breeze continued to blow, the air between them shimmering occasionally while the two conversed.

“Why bother,” the figure said. After all, there wasn’t a soul alive that truly cared about his wellbeing. In fact, knowledge of his death would only give those few who knew him a feeling of relief and satisfaction. On the other hand, this Deki would hardly walk away from their encounter.

It didn’t really matter either way, though not telling his adversary was a slight in its own right. Besides, the proctor might hear him if he said his name, and he’d rather leave no record of his identity. Not yet at least.

All in good time.

“Fine, I’ll title it asshole.”

With that, Deki was off. Concentrating an incredible amount of chakra in his feet, he jumped straight into the air. Fire blazed in particular from two of his fingers on each hand as he jumped twisting in midair. Following him, they seemed to make two crescent moons in the air. It was… oddly graceful.

He dove straight at the figure, both sets of hands swiping at him.

Glancing up at Deki, he willed the crystals in the air upwards, using small releases of wind chakra to guide their movement and alter the steady breeze to his will. Mentally he calculated the force behind the strikes, and the relative heat of the flames based on their color and intensity.

He raised his hand as if to catch or block the strikes, and with the movement the crystals grew rapidly, connecting to create a dense, interwoven crystal lattice. A curved wall that encircled half of his body, obscuring his head, arms, and the entirety of his upper body from Deki’s view.

He bent his knees, bracing himself before his hand touched the crystal barrier. Immediately, more crystal formed, slamming as spikes into the ground, acting as supports.

Deki flinched as he backhanded the crystal wall, but there was no way he was quitting. Flaring the same hand, a jet of flame burned against the right of the strager’s barrier. Deki grabbed the other side hard with his other hand, sending him pivoting around it. At high speeds he swung around behind his opponent, swiping with tiger claw at it. Deki was going to rip out his spine. If the coward had one.

Two avenues of attack, the first was circumventing the barrier, and the second was to pierce it. He expected the former of the two, and was not disappointed. As the boy swiveled around one edge of the lattice, having already pulled his hand back, he bent two fingers, and then flicked the crystal. A tiny pulse of chakra on the weakest point of the lattice, aimed at all of its connecting points, shattered the entire construct into a thousand tiny crystals. He swept his left hand from front to backwards in an arc on his left side, and the cloud of deadly crystal followed the motion, rending flesh, and whatever else it made contact with.

The attack covered the entire space in an arcing motion on his left side, as if a storm of crystal had attempted to form one fourth of a dome to his left.

Then he met Deki’s eyes with the same expression as before: Boredom.

“Predictable,” he said with a scoff.

A scream was the sound of boredom as crystal bombarded the ninja. The shattered balance point didn’t stop him however. Deki, if he had anything, had ungodly balance. His entire style was based off it. Instead of flying off, he maintained his course, flaring his left hand now to stay in place, and increasing the power in his right. Despite the pain, his movement never ceased, going for a rocket Tiger Fist at the shinobi’s spine, just as he’d sworn he would, trying to pierce it, and inflict significant back damage.

As the figure looked Deki in the eye, he’d be met with a fountain of blood instead of a face.

Deki’s pain was so high, however, he was having trouble trying to snap the spine assuming he was even grabbing it. The world was dark to him

Sensing the movement, the tension in muscles, the shift in the heat of his crystal storm, he channeled chakra into his body and, as the would-be Jounin’s movements continued, he predicted the target on his own body. The chakra began crystallizing, forming a shell up and down his spine and that area of his back. Rather than focusing on covering his whole back, he kept the focus on blocking first the initial strike, and second on healing the residual damage.

Hakari(_秤 'Scales').

However, Deki did of course strike, his hand striking the crystal with intensity, if not precision.
He grit his teeth, but felt the rush of pleasure at Deki’s screams. A smile spread over his face as he stumbled forwards a step, then another before bracing himself. The crystal shattered with the impact, but the way it did so was measured, dispersing much of the damage through the construct rather than into his own body.

With his momentum significantly decreased, the crystals caught up with him properly and before he could renew his efforts to attack the crystals bound together on his form and rapidly grew over him where they hadn’t been already, constricting his movements.

He turned around as the crystals encased Deki’s body, anchoring him in place. There was blood on the back of his shirt where the boy had struck, as well as black burn marks, but they were encased in a thin layer of crystal, and the damage was quickly disappearing.

“Tsumi no Meiwaku(_罪の迷惑 'The Burden of Sin'),” he said with a smile, as he drew back a hand, wreathing it with chakra. He spoke as he reached into the crystal, the crystal seeming as if it moved aside for his arm. He placed the tip of the chakra scalpel over Deki’s heart and, with the contact with his crystal, used the Healing Technique...on the boy’s face and eyes.

They healed fairly fast.

“Don’t feel too bad now. Your sacrifice will be remembered,” he said, and then, before the proctor could get in the way, he plunged his hand through the flesh, and bone of the fool’s chest and wrapped his fingers over his heart.

A wide smile spread across his face, the expression manic, eyes wide, pupils dilated. Then, he muttered something under his breath, and after a moment, Deki would feel a brief indescribable pain followed swiftly by agony and a loss of consciousness.

He let go of the fool’s heart, the body not quite dead, but getting there, and retracted his hand.

He gradually became aware of an adult yelling at him to dispel the storm of deadly crystal dust that raged around them. He smiled at the man, his blood soaked arm raising slightly. His fingers came together, and he snapped.

Lightning curled out from his hand, conducting through the crystals in the storm. Then, he started walking, heading towards the exit of the field. The storm of flaying crystal and deadly lightning followed as killing intent began to roil off him like waves of heat.

There was bloodlust in the chuunin’s eyes.

One Piece: New Horizons!

Lilliana Merrycure

---

It all went wrong, except, perhaps, for one part. Krabbe threw Feya, and the Doctor smashed through Lily's attack even as the Emperor Vice rose from the waters. However, Lily was not crushed under Feya, instead she braced herself, dropping her grappling hook, and straight up caught Feya. Sliding back, Feya held somewhat of the ground, the deck splintered, partially buckling under the force of the movement and the stopping power of Lily's body.

After all, she was many times stronger than she appeared. When she stopped sliding, she let Feya down, setting her feet first on the ground in front of her. She stepped around the much more muscular woman, eyes refracting light, though her smile had disappeared. Sadly, before she could say anything, Feya slammed her fist against the ground and descended below deck. Lilliana jumped back, and being as near to the railing, she hurtled over the side of the ship and out of sight entirely.

Halfway down to the sea, B-MO acted, four thin arms erupted from her sides below her arms, where they latched onto the small crevices in the armor of Krabbe's ship. She moved, scurrying along the side of the ship. Feya would have to deal with Krabbe for a brief time, for it seemed it was up to Lily to keep their ship from being permanently put out of commission.

Traveling along the side of the ship, unseen, unheard--most likely--she made her way to the very front of the ship: the prow. She took in a deep breath, two of the four metallic arms molding back into armor on her form, giving her claws where before she'd had none. The other two, as she finished inhaling, threw her upwards and then latched onto the front two closest sailors of Krabbe's crew--if possible--and pulled hard.

The maneuver would pull Lilliana forwards and onto the prow, amidst the members of Krabbe's crew that were managing the Emperor Vice and would also likely throw two sailors overboard. If/when she landed, Lilliana would spin, dancing amidst the men and women of Krabbe's crew, where she would cut at tendons in the legs and arms. However, she had no intention of laying all of them low.

No, she needed at least a couple of them to explain to her the controls. If not, well...she would figure it out just fine.

In her dance, the spirals of metal around her arms would periodically slash outwards, sharpening and cutting even as she did the same with her claws. The two arms on her sides were poised, controlled by B-MO, making them ready to defend against most attacks that might come at her from unexpected angles.

All in all, she was a veritable dance of blades and shining eyes.

Internally, she was counting the seconds, hoping that Krabbe would be distracted for long enough for her to at least disable the Emperor Vice, and then outright destroy the controls.

If she were lucky she might even get around to altering the mechanism for the ship's armor as well. Though, it was probably unlikely, she had to admit. Regardless, she'd do her best, and trust that Feya could handle herself for a time.

Glancing over to Ai as her sister put an arm around her and tapped her hip in what at first she thought a playful gesture, Ayame smiled slightly. After a moment the expression became more conflicted before Ai departed, leaving her with a frown. Ayame looked at her former teammates, and then threw a barrier rod down, the rod puncturing the ground easily.

She'd rather work with a team, perhaps at least one other person, but at the same time it was risky. What if one of them took it in mind to backstab her, that was the sort of environment they were in anyways. Channeling chakra through the metal frames in her body, she bowed respectfully,

“I doubt you'll want to work together, but I greatly appreciate your assistance in the previous trial. Perhaps we can...avoid accosting one another at least?” Her head rose and she smiled lightly, the slightest hint of worry creasing her brow.

It was in part because of the fact that she'd realized what Ai had done. She'd given her a scroll, which made her even more of a prime target than she otherwise may have been. Of course, it also gave her a distinct advantage over a great many others. Boons and banes as it were.

Drawing forth two more barrier rods, one in each hand, Ayame nodded once more to her likely former allies then oriented herself towards the exit and started in that direction. She moved from a walk, to a job, a run, and then vanished into a Shunshin.

She'd liked Ai's plan, it would likely let her avoid as much combat as possible, and also to choose her opponent. Hopefully she would make it to the exit without encountering anyone else.

Nisekuru, Koutaku

^{TIME: Present Day - Morning | LOCATION: Konohagakure - Stadium Observation Room | INTERACTION: TBA}

---

Eyes widening at Shinko's sudden appearance, Koutaku quickly utilized chakra threads to move wires and kunai into place for whatever his next encounter became. This meant that there was wire going into the holes of a total of 10 kunai, which were then strung up beneath his shirt and threaded down the inside of his arms to his hands where they were bound at the fingers. There was enough slack that he could move easily, but not so much that moving would reveal the wire at all.

So it was that when the Hokage's assistant transported him, he was quite ready for an immediate engagement. Alas, there was none, which while good, was also troublesome in a way. It meant he'd have to find someone and then steal that someone's scroll. Additionally, unlike the majority of shinobi in this exam, he had not been in a team. This meant that while others might naturally stay with their teams and hunt their peers to gain scrolls while working together, Koutaku did not have that option. He had to do this solo.

Narrowing his eyes a bit as he glanced around, sniffing the air, he took in a deep breath and sent a rush of chakra to his ears, closing his eyes as he did so. Immediately the sounds of the forest became much more clear, but so too did the faint sounds of voices and heavier movement elsewhere. He opened his eyes and sprung into movement, launching upwards into the treetops where he stayed for a moment to get his bearings and make a decision. Here he was protected somewhat by the canopy, the many branches making it hard to attack from any angle with a linear projectile or technique.

It bought him time to think, but it also let the enemy organize.

Not good.

Hmm, so if they were going to form teams, and they were—it was the only thing that really made sense—he would need to exploit the weaknesses of people in groups. That said, he'd need to exploit such a thing when there was chaos, when there was confusion...so he would need to go where conflict was going on.

He listened again, and this time he focused on finding the most noise, non-forest sounds he could, and when he did...well, it was good. He smiled, opened his eyes once more and moved. He was heading for what he was almost certain was an encounter between two teams.

It would be a fight in a larger group. Even if they had sensors and detected his approach, neither side would quite know what to do with him, the interloper. Plus, they would be at eachother's throats, and so would not be likely to all turn against him.

He wasn't a big enough threat for all that. This in mind he traveled the top of the canopy, totally out of sight, he still decided to take an additional precautionary measure. He transformed himself into a hawk and sped up his approach, while also hiding his nature. He even changed his flight pattern to be almost indistinguishable from any other bird in the forest.

They would never see him coming...even if they did he'd just be a bird...or perhaps something else entirely.

This was going to be interesting.

^{TIME: Present Day | LOCATION: Land of Fire - Forest of Death | INTERACTION: @Syn.}

---

One moment they were in the stadium as the others disappeared for their respective challenges, and in the next Koutaku and another were gone, transported to the edges of a clearing in what appeared to be the Forest of Death. It was all rather sudden, but he was used to having to swiftly adapt to new circumstances for even though the war had long since been over...his clan had never strayed from their customs.

He was a shinobi, through and through. He had killed, and people had attempted to kill him. He had struggled and he had overcome with his own blood sweat and tears. Expression blank for a moment while he scanned his surroundings. Trees and foliage everywhere, the sound of animals and insects--large and small--in the distance and around him. Furthermore, there was another who had been transported along with him, someone across the clearing from him, about 15 meters away. The clearing wasn’t terribly huge, and it was apparent to him that there were no real boundaries.

Smirking a moment, before letting his expression shift to a less cocky smile, Koutaku called out across the space to his fellow chuunin. “That’s you, isn’t it Kai,” he said, even while he considered how he could deal with someone who could not be tricked. After all, Kaijin had the Byakugan, which would certainly make this a challenge. That was for sure.

Drawing a kunai, Koutaku channeled chakra into it and began spinning it around his finger. It was a good thing that they hadn’t had any dangerous missions together. In fact, there really hadn’t been any really dangerous missions to begin with...not from the village at least. This was good for Koutaku. Why? Well, it meant that practically no one would really know his techniques.

He hadn’t made it a habit of bragging to people...or sparring too often. It made him something of an enigma to his peers, and while it also isolated him somewhat...the pros definitely outweighed the cons.

“Guess we’re gonna have to do this huh? Go easy on me, will ya. I don’t want to die today.” He grinned, his free right hand touching the tree trunk to which the branch he stood upon connected.Chakra threads extended from his fingers, down the palms of his hands, into his sleeves, down his shirt, and into his pouches where they affixed themselves to kunai and wire alike. The wire was pulled along their length, manipulated by chakra alone until they wrapped around the fingertips of his right hand.

He was as ready as he could get, he supposed.

The Hokage was quite the mysterious fellow and yet Kai never had the opportunity to speak with him and dissect his brain for knowledge regarding his fallen clan. He would eventually get his answers but hopefully getting the rank of Jonin would help his endeavors. Before he could find his way through the crowds he was teleported to what seemed like an empty forest. Kai took one whiff of his surroundings and automatically knew where he was. ”The Forest of Death.” this was quite the familiar terrain for him since he liked to travel around the village alone at times.

He stopped reminiscing however as he was reminded he subjected himself to declining the team events and participating in the combat portion instead. Kai wasn’t one for team affairs or working with others, he was direct and hungry. Anything that got in his way of showing him his purpose in life and why he was born into this desolate clan would be met with crushing opposition. Kaijin turned to face what seemed to be his opponent for this portion of the test. While hoping for easier prey he was still pretty content with facing Koutaku as he was still a question mark in his mind.

“Indeed it is.” Kaijin waved to his opponent removing his large white over coat and throwing it in the wind which would eventually land on a distant tree branch. Kai rolled his neck cracking several times before he cracked his hands next. It had been far too long since he had gone out and sparred with someone of his caliber. He tightened his wrist straps and the red and yellow sash he has to make sure he was completely limber and mobile. “Good thing we keeps the morals and rules on I wouldn’t want either one of us dying today. I hope the best man wins and if one of us doesn’t hopefully next round is kinder to us.” Kaijin bowed before he readied his stance. While he did want to take it easy as Koutaku suggested, he wanted to move onto the next stage more, win or lose.

“Byakugan!” Kaijin shouted, veins bulging around his eyes, the pupils becoming more distinct. The world turned into a blue and black as he saw the chakra threads connected Koutaku’s belt and the kunai winding up in his fingers. Kaijin sprang into action running at top speed closing the gap between the two. As he approached Koutaku, 15 meters, 10 meters, he drew his arms across his chest and swiped them downwards diagonally across his body slowly moving into a spinning movement.

Koutaku’s small smile widened into a grin as Kaijin sprung into action, clearly having noticed his preparations. With a flux of chakra Koutaku began a series of long handseals, as if he were performing a particularly powerful technique.

Kiyō Sonae(_器用備え 'Dexterous arrangement').

He knew Kai could see the chakra moving throughout his body. He knew that Kai would try to stop him from preparing techniques, using handseals, and building up a chain of actions. He knew about Gentle Fist and its ability to block one’s tenketsu. Koutaku knew a lot of things. He studied tirelessly, always, and prepared for anything and everything he possibly could. Sure, Kai had the Byakugan; sure, he was a master of the Gentle Fist and had predictive and analytical abilities by the sheer virtue of his genetics, but there was one thing he didn’t have, one thing he might never understand.

Endless Paranoia.

Koutaku sprung into action, leaping off of his branch with surprising force, propelled forwards by what appeared a burst of chakra.

Ura Jōshō no Jutsu(_{裏上昇の術} 'Reverse climbing technique').

Still spinning a kunai on his left pointer finger, Koutaku hurtled forwards, twitching his right middle finger as he did so. The motion drew a kunai up through his clothes and into his hand in .1 seconds, and in the next moment it was thrust backwards from him where it pierced deep into the tree, almost the entire kunai buried, only the ring remaining visible. He let the wire remain slack as he hurtled diagonally downwards at his adversary, but not headfirst, not for long.

Shifting position with tiny adjustments of his body, Koutaku angled his body so that his feet would meet the earth first.

He knew Kai could sense him, he knew he could detect every use of chakra, no matter how minuscule.

He was counting on it.

There was something disconcerting with the way Koutaku had been setting up for this fight. How long could it have been that he arrived before Kai and had already began working on a series of plans to oppose Kai. The one fault of being an ancestor to the Hyuuga was the fact that everyone had already know their fighting style and the way their abilities worked so there was nothing he had to surprise ninja who were from the leaf with. Koutaku was a mysterious case, even though it seemed like he set up a trap for Kai he decided to launch himself at Kaijin while forming multiple hand seals. Powerful indeed if it was taking this many seals to conduct.

His body was a wave of chakra firing on all cylinders, he wasn’t close enough to hit his tenketsu points so he had to close the distance or launch a long ranged attack. Kai in his battle trained mind knew that it was rather difficult to dodge while in the air especially when falling in one direction. It was almost too good to be true. His arm swinging motion stopped as he receded them tucked into his sides forming a perfect 90 angel with his arm. “Yasogami Kūgeki” stopping in his tracks and tapping into his Otsustuki potential, Kaijin faced upwards. With his mastery of chakra at this stage of his life he would be able to execute this jutsu quite well. Chakra loaded into his palms, he shot his arms outwards and up towards Koutaku. Instead of manifesting around his arms he created a barrage of fists to create a wall effect.

If the attack didn’t manage to hit Koutaku as such range as he fell it would surely pulverize the tree and branches within a 10 meter distance, while not as powerful to destroy a complete body Susanoo it was at the level where it could destroy a semi completed skeleton.

Koutaku didn’t even hesitate as he watched the lines in Kai’s body tense, he framed the space between Kai and him in his mind and executed his first real jutsu.

While most would not see it coming, Kaijin had a unique advantage unlike anyone else without doujutsu or sensory abilities, he could see the very instant that chakra shot forwards--invisible to the naked eye and the normal senses--forming a 10 meter long cylinder, its radius 1.5 meters; with Koutaku at one end, and Kai at the other. However, even though the edges of this hollow cylinder went around him and Koutaku, he would feel nothing. The chakra was intangible, but only for a moment.

His chakra fluctuated, despite the fact that he hadn’t used the kai handsign to cause it. It appeared that Kaijin wasn’t the only one with excellent chakra control.

Taking in a deep breath, the Iouchiryo layered chakra over his skin and clothes, and then utilized a second technique before the first had even finished.

Kōdo Henge no Jutsu (_{高度変化の術} 'Advanced Transformation Technique')

The Transformation turned the entire surface layer of his skin, and all of his clothes, into a material like metal, but that wasn’t the spectacle.

A kunai already in his right hand, drawn by a chakra thread, with wire attached, and explosive tag ready, he threw it. In the moment that it left his hand, he shifted his body so his back was faced slightly upwards. Adjustments made, he spoke.

“Shinkū-shitsu(真空室 'Vacuum Chamber').”

A tremendous shockwave, formed behind Koutaku, shunted itno position by the cylinder of chakra. For about a second, Kai would feel his breath taken away utterly, with nothing left to be drawn on. He was in a vacuum.

Then, the technique concluded, sending all that gathered wind down the cylinder of chakra at tremendous speeds, rocketing Koutaku forwards, and firing the much lighter kunai directly at Kaijin like a tiny rocket. However, it never reached him, instead, the explosive tag went off, and the pressurized air of Shinkū-shitsu turned from a wind cannon, into one of flames.

The technique on its own was powerful, far stronger than one would expect for a C ranked technique, requiring Koutaku to use about 1/3rd of his chakra for its max output. However, with fire added to the mix it was easily a B or A ranked attack. Thus, as Kaijin executed his ranged assault with chakra, a 3 meter wide hole was torn straight through the middle by the chamber of ignited wind chakra. The light was blinding, the sound was deafening, and the force was overwhelming and it was headed directly at him.

Kai had painted himself into a rather precarious position. It seemed that Koutaku had taken extra precautions and had set up a web of culminated attacks that together would create a symphony of beautiful destruction. The attacks seemed to occur in the blink of an eye. Luckily for Kaijin he had been blessed with the Byakugan and was able to see the constructs made in front of him. First was the cylinder that spanned from Koutaku all the way down to Kaijin as some form of vehicle for whatever he was concocting.

Suddenly Koutaku’s body turned a sleek metallic color, he took the form of what appeared to be metal. However that was a mere feint or a cover for what he was prepared to do next. The kunai aimed at the boy exploded violently. The cylinder was the vessel to transport the explosion all the way down to Kaijin. There was no backing out of this mess or rather there was less likely the opportunity to. However the Eight Gods Vacuum attack was nothing to laugh at. The ability itself was the caliber of high ranking ninjas and at full power could decimate a six path chakra complete bodied Susanoo.

Kaijin buckled down into the earth and condensed the range of the fists and number to increase the power of these fists. The arms would rip through the fire and pulverize the kunai, most likely reaching Koutaku. As insurance, Kaijin condensed two gauntlets around his hands and thrusted down towards the ground, sending his body upwards and spinning. He was gaining enough velocity where he could spin at ridiculous speeds, whatever was left of the fire signed his clothes back. “Hakkeshō Kaiten” (Eight Trigrams: Palm Rotation) Chakra exploded out of his body creating a small condensed ball of rotating chakra. If it were as if someone had shot a highly pressurized marble into the cylindrical pathway heading straight for Koutaku.

Kazaho(_風歩 'Wind Step').

A burst of wind from his feet pushed him upwards suddenly, even as the wire connected to his kunai in the tree behind him went taut, swinging him upwards and out of the way of the powerful fists of chakra and. He moved 2 meters upwards, moving him from the trajectory of Kaijin’s oncoming attack as well. Of course, once he’d gained the necessary momentum, he gave the wire plenty of slack and blasted it back downwards

He had to say, the Hakkeshou Kaiten was a sight to see, but he had studied it as he had studied many other things. It was a spinning vortex of chakra, shaped into a dome or a sphere...and things that spun had a simple weakness.

Koutaku’s fingers twitched and kunai were in his hands, already charged each with two jutsu, the handseals long since prepared. He threw them and they erupted forwards at frightening speeds.

Ten no Tsunzaku(天の劈く 'Pierce the Heavens').

He had thrown 4 kunai at Kai, wire attached as usual and they flew at tremendous speed. So fast in fact that, with him being roughly 5 meters away, there would be no time to change his direction to dodge. Granted, the Rotation would make it so he wouldn’t have to.

Koutaku took a deep breath and focused. His chakra calmed, his aura wavered and then settled, and he felt every sinew of muscle, and every nerve in his body for a moment. His awareness expanded so that he could feel all aspects of his body. He kept his breathing even, but he did not do what he usually did once he’d achieved this state.

Instead...he waited.

He waited for his adversary’s second mistake.

It seemed as though Koutaku had been well versed in trapping and luring his opponents into what seemed like a seven layer trap. Kaijin didn’t really have anything to lose or gain from this test imposed by the Villages. In his own right he already achieved certain prowess in combat, and to fight a potential ally was a waste of time, especially if they had to wear weighted gloves somewhat. Instead of pivoting back or regaining his ground, Kaijin pressed his assault. He was bound to connect once or finally succumb to the boy’s trap.

While he was rotation his eyes pulsated as if they could nearly be seen through the rotating ball of chakra. Even though he was spinning at high speeds he was still able to decisively read Koutaku’s movements even if it didn’t necessarily meant he knew what he was scheming. After all Koutaku had a thing for scheming. The four kunai came at him at volatile speeds, had he not been spinning he might have been skewered like a kebab. However the amount of spinning he was allotted due to his initial push off was enough to deflect the onslaught of kunai, even if it bit into his chakra reserves.

Dispersing his chakra ball while meeting the remaining kunai that sliced his shoulder open was only a mere hindrance. As a participant in the main branch Kaijin was taught special techniques that were limited to just the main branch. “Jūho Sōshiken! (Gentle Step Twin Lion Fists)” he shouted as he released chakra into both his hands forming large guardian lion shaped gauntlets. His range and destructive power was augmented tenfold. Dashing towards Koutaku might have been a mistake but he was risking it all. His first fist what meant to be a ranged attack and if that had missed he would aim his second fist to any part of the boy’s body and drain his chakra.

Just as he’d expected, the Hyuuga, in his arrogance, had allowed the kunai to strike his defensive sphere of rotating chakra. Koutaku’s grin spread wide as the kunai were somewhat deflected, only for the wire to be caught onto the surface of the rotation and pulled around it rapidly entangling it in a web of vicious cutting wire. For while he could not--without considerable preparation--break through the defensive technique, he could certainly tangle it up so that his opponent had one of two terrible choices.

The first was to let the rotation go and attempt to extricate himself, somehow, from the web of durable, sharp wire; while the second was to continue his rotation indefinitely until he tired out, which would allow him to move, but not to launch another attack. In fact, he would run out of chakra, and rotational momentum before that maneuver ever did him any good.

If Kai released his rotation, Koutaku would pull, and the wires would close in, binding the Hyuga completely in place. At this point Koutaku might push himself backwards and towards the ground with a Kazaho, where he would channel chakra through his body, using his leverage, chakra threads, and natural gravity to swing Kai down at the ground. He would amplify this with a supercharged Kazaho, releasing a powerful blast of wind from the top of the tangle of wires, shooting Kai down to earth at considerable speed. He was careful not to make Kai go down headfirst.

Conversely, if Kai did find some way to get out of the wires, the kunai that had struck his shoulder, would suddenly swivel in the air behind kai, the round bit of metal orienting towards his head where it would slam into it, likely knocking him out.

Kai had made his second mistake, the question was...would he get a chance to make a third?

Kai’s headfirst approach was quite admirable, but he knew it was going to fail eventually. With an unknown opponent and having been studied like a book due to his clan history, he was at quite the disadvantage. The sands of time in his hourglass all but ran out, the boy had quite a clever attack regarding the kunai that wrapped around his rotation, the ability to do such a thing was interesting to Kai. He would later have to find out the physics behind it, regardless his rotation was for naught. Like a fly trapped in a spider web the wires wrapped around his body quite comfortably and pulled him towards the ground. Kai acknowledged he was at a disadvantage and in order to save his chakra for the next fight he decided to submit.

Before he could even utter his surrender Shinko appeared and uncoiled the wire binding and returned it to the young tactician while catching the hyuuga and setting him down. Kai bowed to the opposing ninja and accepted his defeat gracefully. Shinko delivered the Hokage’s message to the two that the others were receiving currently. Shinko touched the forehead of both ninja before teleporting them to a random location as he headed towards the other hyuuga battling in the view of Yogensha.

Watching him move into the motion of the swing, and waiting till he couldn't quite adjust, she let one foot go out in front of her, shifting her weight as she did so. She tossed her grappling hook to her left hand, from her right, tucked her arm in against her side, and fired the grappling gun to her left and forwards. It slammed into and through some of the ship's wood, pulled tight, and then she flipped the switch for 2 seconds. The pull of the hook got her out of the way of the slash, though just barely, her hair getting clipped near the ends by the blade of water.

Too hyped up on adrenaline and battle hunger to react with fear, she unflipped the switch. Then, she changed her mind, bracing herself and hauling against the hook and the clump of wood it had hooked into. It cracked and then tore out of the ship's deck, hurtling through the air like one end of a flail, heading right towards whatever position Krabbe was in at the time.

Small tendrils from B-MO began reaching into her bag of scrap metal and parts. They could be seen moving in quick and precise motions, while some just outright absorbed the metal.

“Hehe. Now Krabby~ , you've gotta treat a girl right if you plan to get her wet~” Lilly teased. In her peripheral vision she noticed some chaos erupting amongst Krabbe's crew, but she didn't spare it a glance. Her utmost attention remaining on Krabbe.

As the statue revealed its true identity, Ayame narrowed her eyes slightly. As she noticed the scroll, Ai began talking, arranging the team and setting in motion a proper plan. It brought a small smile to her lips, even as she focused on keeping her barriers up. While the lightning beast wasn't really making any progress at breaking the barrier—as she focused the chakra where it hit, weakening it in locations further from the beast—it still took a fair amount of chakra to maintain the large network of barriers.

Adapting quickly to the new plan, Ayame cast out her hands to either side, generating chakra threads. The threads touched all her barrier rods that were far off, pulled them from the ground, and then back towards her. In about 3 seconds she had them close enough to maneuver them properly. The further off, less necessary barriers had deactivated when the rods had been extricated, of course, but those immediately around herself, Hikaru, and Renji were still up and quite stable. In fact, the one around them was much stronger than the earlier barrier had been, by virtue of her having to manage less.

Twitching her fingers she caught several Sekisao, and then threw them, hard. The rods hurtled in four groups, one of them traveling to her right, creating two lines leading up to Raijin's naval; the other created two lines leading to the edge of the room.

Channeling chakra through the threads, she erected a barrier towards the navel, leaving the rods leading towards the wall totally stationary. Focusing she took down one wall of their barrier, merging the path to the navel with the enclosed space that protected them from Raiju.

She looked to Renji and Hikaru and spoke, her voice commanding for once.

Yatsu took a pull of his sake, still sitting and apparently relaxed as Namine and the Hokage spoke about the return of a great evil: Seijuro. He smiled faintly as the Hokage insisted they not stop the exams. Yatsu stood and glanced at Namine, smiling.

"I agree. Stopping the exams now will send our budding shinobi into dissaray, which would only play into Seijuro's hands, letting him snatch anyone or anything he might want while our forces are in chaos." Bending down he picked up what appeared to be a cane, which had been sitting next to him, before rising back up. He tapped the cane against the ground, channeling a brief pulse of chakra through it.

Instantly the cane extended upwards and he twirled it once so that the point that had been aimed at the ground, now faced the ceiling. It had become a spear.

"I would be glad to put down such an evil," he said, glancing at Gisho, "...especially alongside either of you. It would be an honor." Having encountered him before, Namine would notice an odd lack of frustration in the Tsuchikage. Normally, the man preferred to avoid combat entirely. It seemed that his dislike of combat disappeared when faced with an objective evil, something which threatened the well-being of many an innocent soul.

In fact...there even seemed to be a fire in his eyes and an eagerness in his heart.

"Let's not tarry now," he said, glancing between the two.

While he wore a perfect disguise of patience, Namine would feel something other than eagerness in him. She would feel something dark, something buried, but its exact nature was so entrenched and hidden beneath Kazayatsu's other thoughts and emotions that she would be unable to identify it exactly.

All she'd be left with was an ominous premonition, a feeling of deep hurt, and something like hunger—though not of the physical sort.

It was disturbing, but it was also clear that Yatsu had it entirely under control. It was clear that it would not harm his allies, and furthermore it was certainly apparent that Gisho and her were his allies.

He was no traitor.

Still, what was it that lurked deep in the eccentric kage?

What indeed.

Nazomeku, Kazayatsu - Kuroyaju

_

General Data

Name: Nazomeku, Kazayatsu.
Nickname/Alias: Yatsu/Kuroyaju(Black Beast).
Gender: Male.
Age: 33.
Age Appearance: Late twenties.
Sexuality: Heterosexual.

Village: Iwagakure.
Birthplace: Unknown.

Organization: N/A.

Rank: A.
Position: Elite Jounin.
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: 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.

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

Type of Jutsu: Shape-manipulation ninjutsu.
Rank: B.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: Yōton.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: A shape-manipulation technique utilized to control the generation of the various substances of yōton as well as their movement.

Weakness: Affinity weaknesses.

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

Name of Technique: Yōgan-ryū(_溶岩流 'Lava-flow').
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu.
Rank: C.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: Yōton.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: Infusing Yōton chakra into the ground or taking control of pre-existing lava/chakra, the user pushes the chakra forwards, causing it to bunch up, creating more lava, and pulling the superheated molten material along with it, forming a wave or waves.

Weakness: Moves in one direction. Water affinity.

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

Name of Technique: Kaihi-ryū(_回避流 'Evasion-flow').
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.

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

Name of Technique: Sentō no jutsu(銭湯の術 'Spire technique').
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu.
Rank: C.
Range: Anywhere as long as their chakra is present.
Nature Type: Earth.
Handseals: 1, or 1 held.
Description: By sending some of their chakra into the ground the user can create spikes from the earth. These spires range in size from that of a needle to the height of 8 feet as their maximum. If the user wishes to create more than one spire at a time they may hold the necessary handseal so as to create up to 12 spires in rapid succession. Following this they cannot create more spires for 5 seconds.

Weakness: The spires can only come from places where the user's chakra is located. Additionally, if the user cannot see or otherwise know the spot where their chakra is going to create one, the accuracy decreases.

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

Name of Technique: Shōdo no Yokoku(_{焦土の予告} 'Herald of the Scorched Earth').
Type of Jutsu: Nintaijutsu; Fuinjutsu; Kinjutsu.
Rank: S.
Range: Personal.
Nature Type: Yōton.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: Taking the form of a black seal directly over Kazayatsu's heart, this technique is a fuinjutsu that the Tsuchikage had applied to him many many years ago soon after the end of the Great War. The seal is in place to restrain the tremendous killing intent and ravenous hunger for destruction borne from his childhood during the war. In essence, this seal keeps Kuroyaju behind lock and key and few—if any—know of its existence at all. There are only two ways that the power held within this seal can be unleashed. First among them is if the seal itself is damaged significantly, specifically if one were to stab him in the chest. The second method however, is intentional and requires the Tsuchikage to utter to following chant for all to hear.

Raise the black curtain, release the chained beast.
let allies flee, for bound by morals this beast is not.
Destroy that which opposes,
Remove my shackles and hope not to succumb.

Once spoken, Kazayatsu will state the name of the technique at which point the seal will open. Despite releasing Kuroyaju from its cage, the seal will never actually disperse.

Once fully activated, the technique will lock the kage off from all of his other techniques, instead giving him a considerable boost in physical speed by way of chakra infusion and largely intuitive blasts of heat. Additionally, the technique causes his tenketsu to release a constant flow of Yōton chakra to which he will be immune for the duration of the technique. The Yōton chakra has a maximum speed, but the generation can be lessened by reducing the speed at which his chakra flows through his body. Beyond this he is afforded a passive control of his Yōton chakra, being capable of controlling its movements and speed.

Weakness: With all this come several downsides, the three most notable being that he ignores pain—meaning he cannot tell how wounded he is—that he cannot distinguish between enemy and ally in this state, and of course that he cannot deactivate it at will. When in this 'mode' he is essentially a beast of destruction, a monstrosity that will raze anything and anyone around him indiscriminately. During this technique Kazayatsu is more vulnerable to the elemental affinities of Yōton than usual. The technique, at max chakra pool, can last up to 8 minutes; at half it will last 4 minutes; at 1/4th it lasts only 2 minutes.

Kouken, Ayame

_

General Data

Name: Kouken(Guardian), Ayame(Iris).
Nickname/Alias: Aya.
Gender: Female.
Age: 25.
Age Appearance: 25.
Sexuality: Bisexual.

Village: Iwagakure.
Birthplace: Iwagakure.

Organization: Iwa Barrier corps.

Rank: C-B.
Position: Special Jounin.
Chakra Nature: Earth, Water, and Lightning.

Additional Appearance Details: Ayame stands at 5'5 and is a healthy weight for her height and age. She typically wears her headband around her neck as well as a necklace that she keeps hidden under her clothes. She has deep stirring purple eyes.

History: Born into the Kouken family, Ayame was perhaps doomed to a life of servitude. Lead by their elders, who had known the now almost forgotten horrors of war, the Kouken family did its part in Iwagakure, playing a huge role in maintaining its many barriers and defenses. Still, despite this her first seven years in this world were joyful ones, filled even with the birth of her younger sister. Sadly, it was after these seven years passed that her story truly began, for she was deemed talented by her tutors, and so selected to carry on the tradition of their clan's Hiden Technique, the Kinzoku Youki. Her parents, fearing for her safety and wellbeing, intially resisted, but were soon bent around the fingers of the elders and made to allow the procedure to take place.

Thus, on the day of her eighth birthday, Ayame had searing hot metal implanted into her arms, legs, hands, feet, and torso where they would stay for the rest of her life. The procedure took almost twelve hours, during which she passed out more than eight times and screamed so much that she lost her voice for a full week afterwards.

Taking quite a long time to recover, Ayame didn't have much of an appetite or will to do anything for almost a month after that. However, with rehabilitation and training she slowly recovered from the traumatic experience, coming out of it with a newfound respect for life and normalcy. With the pain having scarred her, despite her recovery, Ayame's childhood was almost certainly over. The ensuing days were spent training with the masters of the clan and being educated by the clan elders.

Ten years later, on what would have been a perfectly normal day, the lives of both sisters would change irrevocably. On that sunny day, Ayame was practicing on one of the clan's training fields, attempting to use a technique that one of her tutors was going to teach her later on, she was unaware that her younger sister had wandered onto the field. Executing the technique, she lost control and, as she turned to discharge the technique at a training post, there was her sister...right in the line of fire.

Eyes widening, Ayame had no time to change tacts, and so the technique went off, creating two barriers on either side of her sister, which slammed inwards, even as a number of others cut at her, gouging open her arm while cracking other bones. Screaming out even as her sister did, she yelled for help, running to her sister to offer what little comfort she could, she held her. Still, she would never forget the look of pain and fear in sister's eyes that day. Like her eighth birthday, it appeared her eighteenth year would haunt her for the rest of her life.

While her sister came out alright as healers were called quickly enough, that event drove a wedge into their relationship and so what closeness that had remained slowly dwindled. As the years passed and Ayame's fear drove her to refuse the teachings of the clan elders, she found that seemed to avoid her and the others more. Occasionally she would catch Kazue staring in her direction with a bitter look about her.

Even as the two grew up and Ayame earned a place on the barrier corps like many of her ancestors and peers, this loss of companionship saddened the woman. Then, on her twentieth year during the winter season, Kazue, and their father depart for a mission outside the village. Kazue does not return, and Ayame falls into a depression, thinking her sister dead. A year passes and just when Ayame is getting her life back on track she receives a mysterious letter. In a stroke of luck, it is from her sister, telling her that she's alive. Relieved, she cries, the emotion and shock overwhelming her.

Still, it is not until a year and a seven months later that she sees Kazue again. Yet, as all things do, she has changed. Unsure of where they stand after what transpired all those years ago, Ayame is hesitant around Kazue, who has changed her name to Ai. For the last five months she has been doing her utmost to rekindle the friendship and faint rivalry that they once had as young girls.

Personality: Ayame is a wounded soul. She is full of grief and a measure of pain due to both her own choices and those of her clan. As a result she is a caring and compassionate woman who believes in freedom of choice, the inherent value of life, and the weight of one's actions. Ironically, despite the teachings of her clan and her own status as a shinobi of Iwagakure, Ayame is essentially a pacifist. The woman is always looking for new ways to end disputes or conflict non-violently, and should she fail she does her best to protect those innocent and guilty from harm. In this way, at least, she certainly lives up to her family name, serving as a guardian to the weak. Undercutting all of this is a deeply ingrained fear of her own potential, a fear that should she ever be violent that she will harm those she seeks only to protect. However, buried deeper still is the hardy resilience of a survivor. Perhaps one day it will be unearthed.

Specialized Weapons & Items:

Name of Weapon or Item: Sekisao(_関棹 'Barrier Rods').

Description: A series of chakra conductive rods that she keeps all along the inside of her short cloak, the Sekisao are items that can be utilized to empower or create barriers. She can use these rods as origin points for her barriers or to empower existing ones. The rods can be considered an heirloom of her clan and have been repeatedly infused with chakra every generation, making them nigh indestructible. Additionally, using chakra, a user attuned to the Sekisao can alter their curvature or lackthereof without compromising their durability.

【Hiden】

Name of Hiden: Kinzoku Youki(_金属容器 'Metal Vessel')
Clan: Kouken.
Description: Implanting chakra conductive metal into their bodies along their bones, with nodes at their joints, the Kouken clan have created a style where they can project barriers directly from their body for both offensive and defensive purposes. These metallic implants are attuned to an individual's chakra beforehand and are covered with seals that allow them to sap chakra to generate more metal and grow with the body. Due to their attunement to the user's chakra the body does not reject them or grow sick due to their presence. The metal often greatly increases the chakra control of the user due to its conductivity. Most importantly, the seals inscribed on the metal allow those with the Hiden to immediately translate chakra into barriers without handseals so long as their focus is great enough.

*The metal is non-magnetic, but is conductive.

Metal Locations

Thin stripes of flexible metal through the hands and fingers. Thicker/denser metal through the arms and legs (in Ayame's case). Nodes at or near each joint and on the fingertips except the pinkies. Node at the base of the hands near the wrists. Nodes in the shoulders. Several lines along the edges of the torso on both sides. All the metal is connected. Ayame has the metal in her feet as well, in the same way as her hands.

Techniques:

Canon Jutsu All Academy and relevant D rank techniques.

Chakra Threads: Can channel jutsu to her Sekisao or be used in tangent with Chakra Flow.

Custom Jutsu

Name of Technique: Seki Tōei(_関投影 'Barrier Projection').
Type of Jutsu: Barrier ninjutsu.
Rank: C.
Range: Personal.
Nature Type: Variable.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: Channeling chakra through the metal implants in their body, a member of the Kouken clan can translate this chakra directly into barriers originating from any of the metal in their body. The more chakra utilized for a barrier, the stronger it will usually be. This technique may be used in tangent with the Sekisao.

Weakness: Seki Tōei requires a measure of physical movement to create barriers of different shapes, excluding skintight or spherical barriers. Can be disrupted by chakra absorption, some fuinjutsu, and can be broken by appropriately powerful attacks.

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

Name of Technique: Kōken no Ishi(_{後見の意志} 'Guardian's Will').
Type of Jutsu: Barrier ninjutsu.
Rank: C.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: Variable.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: Utilizing the Sekisao, the user may create barriers by connected them with the planes of said barriers following the curvature—or lackthereof—of the rods. The more rods and chakra utilized, the stronger the barrier is.

*Each rod amplifies the durability by 1/4th of a rank.

Weakness: Can be disrupted by chakra absorption, some fuinjutsu, and can be broken by appropriately powerful attacks.

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

Name of Technique: Kui Enshin(_杭延伸 'Stake Extension').
Type of Jutsu: Barrier ninjutsu.
Rank: C.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: Variable.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: Channeling chakra into a Sekisao the user will form a barrier that extends the length of the barrier rod. So long as the rod retains enough chakra to fuel the effect, the barrier will act as an extension of it, making it possible to create barriers using the "new shape," of the stake. The Sekisao can also be thrown or used to block attacks.

Weakness: Either requires continuous chakra to maintain or it will only last for a set period of time. Kui Enshin can only remain active for a minute. Can be disrupted by chakra absorption, some fuinjutsu, and can be broken by appropriately powerful attacks.

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

Name of Technique: Wakeru Ikioi(_{分ける勢い} 'Dividing Force').
Type of Jutsu: Barrier ninjutsu.
Rank: B.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: Variable.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: Requiring at least one barrier rod, this technique has the user place one before the target of their protection, and then create two tall flat planes going backwards from the Sekisao. This technique is often used to defend against powerful head on ninjutsu such as explosions of fire or huge rushes of water or wind. The barrier has the effect of splitting the offending attack in two and diverting it around the user. The more Sekisao utilized, the stronger the barrier.

*Each rod amplifies the durability by 1/4th of a rank.

Weakness: Can be disrupted by chakra absorption, some fuinjutsu, and can be broken by appropriately powerful attacks.

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

Name of Technique: Seki no Koi Sakana(_{関のコイ魚} 'Barrier of the Koi Fish').
Type of Jutsu: Barrier ninjutsu.
Rank: A.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: N/A.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: Requiring 3 seconds to activate, the user alters their barriers, creating a moving current of chakra that carries other chakra based attacks across and around the screen. This effect distributes the force of attacks across the entire surface of the barrier and while powerful against most large attacks, is ineffective against physical strikes or more concentrated jutsu.

Weakness: Small concentrated attacks and physical attacks. Can be disrupted by chakra absorption, and some fuinjutsu.

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

Name of Technique: Saishu Haji(_最終把持 'Last Grasp').
Type of Jutsu: Barrier ninjutsu.
Rank: A.
Range: 15 meters.
Nature Type: Variable.
Handseals: 3.
Description: An advanced barrier technique, this creates two barriers which then slam together on a target, crushing them. Maintaining the physical form of the barriers is difficult and requires concentration. However, the two barriers move at incredible speed, hence the rank of the technique. Each barrier is 15x15 feet and is flat.

Weakness: Due to the range, the technique has a lag time of five seconds between the three handsigns and its initial formation. Ayame will not use this technique unless cornered or someone else's life/wellbeing is threatened and there is no other way for her to prevent their harm.

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

Name of Technique: Myōbatsu(_冥罰 'Retribution').
Type of Jutsu: Barrier ninjutsu.
Rank: A-S.
Range: 15 meters.
Nature Type: Variable.
Handseals: 3.
Description: Performing the necessary handseals, the user positions their hands on one side of their body, low, forming a series of complex, elongated barriers between their hands. Once formed, the user may swipe one or both hands multiple times, releasing sharp, and curved claw-like barriers forwards at high speed. The chakra of these barriers is serrated and rotates along the edges, essentially turning them into claw shaped chainsaws. If any of these barriers land solid strikes they can pierce and then shred flesh or other material. The mastered version of this technique allows the user to form these rapidly around their body and release them with deadly precision. Conversely a master might use these like claws, extending off of their hands, arms, or feet during melee combat. Ayame has not mastered this technique.

Weakness: Barrier weaknesses. Ayame will not use this technique unless cornered or someone else's life/wellbeing is threatened and there is no other way for her to prevent their harm.

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.

Combat Data

Mid-Close range combatant.
Exceptional Chakra Control.

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.

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-B.
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.

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.
