Kinjiro could easily be described as cruel, sadistic and merciless, but these descriptions are not [i]accurate[/i]. It cannot be said that there is no truth to these descriptors, but the truth that they highlight is merely a fraction of the whole, an overly focused look at something very large. Kinjiro is cruel and sadistic in that she enjoys inflicting pain on others for the sake of research, and during operations she may often "forget" to apply the full measure of anaesthetic, but outside of her magnum opus she is not particularly violent or sadistic, preferring to keep her tongue civil (albeit sharp) and her fangs concealed. Kinjiro is merciless in that she will offer no mercy to those who obstruct her goals, but she is not entirely unkind and often will not choose to mete out unnecessary suffering for those who have not wronged her. Kinjiro is pleasant outside of her work, and while she could not exactly be described as being merciful, she is certainly not merciless. Kinjiro is opportunistic in the context of mercy - she will not be merciful for the sake of mercy, but she can easily feign mercy should it provide her with a larger benefit in the future. That is perhaps the connective tissue that binds Kinjiro's personality together: Kinjiro sees opportunities much more easily than most other people, and she possesses a high enough intellect that she might bide her time enough to extract as much opportunity as possible. She is not rash, nor does she consider herself to be too analytical (though she would argue that there is no such thing); Kinjiro sees the usefulness in people in a timespan that extends past what most would consider to be useful. In a way, Kinjiro is very patient. Kinjiro suffers (she cannot see it as such, but it is definitely a malady) from hubris, having been raised to believe that she was entitled to anything she wanted. While she has mostly disregarded this with logic and experience, there are still hollow notes that ring in the symphony of her life, forming a haunting reverie that persists throughout all she does. One cannot truly escape the fetters of one's past when they are ingrained into you, like cutting out the heart and expecting to live even with its absence. Kinjiro rarely angers - but she has a temper - and will often turn to her cruelty when somebody triggers this temper. A gruesome fate awaits any who tread on her path without her consent, and even crossing paths by being in the wrong place at the wrong time can prove fatal when such crossings actively obstruct her goals. Kinjiro sees herself as privileged, above law, and this can often lead her into situations in which she finds herself temporarily at depths she did not expect, leading to moments of weakness and erred judgement. Perhaps hypocritically, Kinjiro detests others using status as a get out of jail free card, and she has a particular hatred for those in law who bend the rules to their advantage at the expense of others. She reserves her most cruel punishments for these types of people, and corrupt authority figures, or sadistic nobles, find themselves at the mercy a woman who has, quite literally, the fangs of a snake. One of the things most likely to catch Kinjiro’s temper is people who have power, but refuse to use it based on some petty morals. Kinjiro despises the idea that people can be restricted by what she sees as, frankly, minor concerns - such as a desire to be pacifistic, or a desire not to kill a single person for the greater good. Kinjiro will often execute people who hold to flimsy morals for the sake of principle when there is something much greater at stake. Secrets kept are weapons wasted, and Kinjiro knows this too well, having kept a large amount of her secrets from the world. People who keep secrets for selfish reasons anger Kinjiro, but she does not keep her secrets for selfish reasons - she knows that with her knowledge readily available, the world would become a darker place due to selfish people exploiting others for the sake of their personal gain. Kinjiro will seek to stop this from happening at all costs. Kinjiro, overall, has a very jovial personality - she may be sadistic in how she takes her pleasure, but she is generally pleasant to be around given that you are not on the receiving end of her punishments. She exudes a genuine warmth to those who know her and are familiar with her ways, but somehow still retains a cold air, an aura of sophistication and cruel elegance. Surprisingly, Kinjiro has an air of approachability about her, an odd charm, that despite the obvious danger she inherently poses affords her a natural charisma with most individuals. She is as close to a man-made deity as many of those who interact with her will ever lay eyes upon, and she wholly expects to be paid the same level of reverence one would offer while in supplication to a God, and is often not disappointed at the results.[/COLOR][/I] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/DN3p4.png[/IMG] 【[U]History[/U]】 [I][COLOR=silver]The Jikangai clan's origins begin with the matriarch and eternal leader of the clan, Yata, who was born into a wealthy family in a time where chakra was yet to grace the land. Yata's early history is unknown to anyone but herself, but there are a few established facts that the Jikangai are privy to: Yata was among the first to receive the gift of chakra, and in her blood were the secrets to the first sealing techniques. Yata became the first to utilise the nature of the seal to manipulate chakra in ways that could not be achieved within the body, and her rise to power was as swift as it was lethal. Yata later discovered that her sealing techniques were potent enough to affect the flow of time within small areas, and developed this power over many years alone. At some point, Yata gave birth to her first child, Kinjiro, with an unknown father who was on a similar or greater level of power to her, and Kinjiro was born with all of Yata's power except that over time, though she was the first Jikangai known to possess the trait of being "outside time", likely a result of Yata's experimentation with temporal energies. The earliest members of the Jikangai were not selectively bred or taught like many of the earliest coalitions of clans. Initially, to gain entry to the Jikangai one only needed to be a powerful male (in order to create children from Yata's side to pass her potent sealing power down) or to have an interest in the sealing techniques that Yata offered. Coalitions of like-minded people that were not required to possess specific traits were initially rare, so the earliest Jikangai groupings were not as powerful as many of the other fledgling clans, but as the requirements to join were so simple, many chose to partake of the power that Yata offered. War was common in the early days as people discovered the limitations of their newfound power, but the Jikangai chose to weave seals within their architecture that offered them highly fortified and defensive positions through which to avoid battle. The legendary safety of their strongholds resulted in those tired of war defecting to join the Jikangai, and after a few short decades the Jikangai had members of almost every discipline that presently existed and the means to research many more. When Yata's first child, Kinjiro, turned thirty two she achieved the secrets of immortality and shared these with her mother, causing the pair to become biologically immortal for a time. This secret gave the matriarch of the Jikangai clan enough time to perfect the seals that would render her truly immortal and cement her eternal reign over the Jikangai. It was also around this time that Kinjiro disappeared from the annals of the Jikangai, taking with her several of the more medically minded individuals of the time with her, and the clan turned from essentially worshipping its most powerful members (those who had most of Yata's blood) to a more expansion-oriented people, using their collective knowledge and sealing prowess to become conquerors. The seal-infused architecture typical of the early Jikangai strongholds became as much a weapon of war as the rest of the techniques within the Jikangai's grasp and they reconstructed many settlements that they took over with their own to ensure that none that came after them could take the land should they be ousted, and other contingents of the Jikangai could take their place. The love for complex sealing and structures quickly became the largest downfall of the Jikangai, and their promising expansion years were cut short after only a small number of generations due to infighting within the clan, and their own seal-infused architecture being sabotaged by rival members within the power-oriented clan. Many of the less powerful members died during raids from other sects within the Jikangai, or through the defences upon which they heavily relied being rendered defunct and invading parties having enough of a surprise advantage to turn the tide of battle in their favour. The most powerful of the Jikangai survived and chose to withdraw into the heavily fortified structures that they had relied upon in their infancy, abandoning hopes of conquest for mastery over their sealing techniques under Yata's directive. Yata, the Immortal Matriarch, directed the clan's efforts towards creating a set of seals of unknown form and function shortly after their withdrawal from their expansive phase, and at some point within the next ten years all instances of the Jikangai on the surface world promptly vanished and retreated into a single underground compound. Much controversy was raised over the reason for the disappearance of any large body of Jikangai, but several missionaries remained in the world to quell these rumours and to recruit promising talents into the folds of the Jikangai. Though it would seem, from looking at the history books, that the Jikangai simply erased themselves from the world, nothing could be farther from the truth. After withdrawing to their underground compound, the Jikangai returned to their original state of pseudo-ancestor worship. Yata once again became the ultimate public authority within the clan (where before she had largely ruled from the shadows) and once the seals she had ordered the clan create were finished, she ascended beyond the mortal scope of power. With her new seals, Yata's presence was dangerous to all non-Jikangai, and though there was no immediate aftermath, the clan grew worried that her unchecked power would draw attention to their hiding location and chose to construct a sphere in which to entrap their Immortal Matriarch and limit her power. Yata herself designed the seals for her gilded cage, recognising the threat that she posed, and willingly withdrew to lead the clan from within a place that she could do no harm. Unfortunately, Yata's prison limited the contact that she could have with her children, and she receded from the spotlight once more to allow the Jikangai to work towards goals she would entrust to the most powerful members of the clan. It was at this point that the various sects of the Jikangai begun to develop, each with a focus on a particular aspect of sealing, and the clan begun to evolve into the complex society that it is today. In order to avoid stagnancy, the Jikangai offered the secrets of their seals to the world for knowledge and resources that they may have needed through use of their missionaries, who in return recruited brilliant individuals to join the clan. This process has continued since that era, and is still something that occurs semi-regularly within the Jikangai. It is not uncommon for the most powerful members of the Jikangai (those selected to receive Kinjiro's gift of immortality) to directly intervene with mortals of specific interest and prowess to offer them unique gifts in return for their service. Some would liken the Jikangai to would-be Gods, undying beings with a penchant for interfering within the lives of perceived lesser beings for their amusement, but the truth of the matter is far simpler than that: The Jikangai scions are mortal ambition taken to its furthest extreme, with the power to match, and delight in precisely the same game of control that all mortals do, only on a larger scale. Jikangai, Kinjiro is the first born child of Yata, and is considered to essentially be a figure of legend among the Jikangai as the closest approximation of Yata's power within the clan. When Kinjiro was born the Jikangai were not nearly so powerful as they became as their existence was allowed to continue, and her earliest memories are those of working tirelessly alongside her mother to bring glory to the Jikangai in whatever ways were possible. As the child of Yata, Kinjiro was born with an immense amount of potential and was offered the finest tutelage and guidance that her mother could offer, but in doing so was instilled with a set of values that has not survived the test of time. Even from infancy Kinjiro's life was designed to cultivate within her an intimate knowledge of sealing techniques, sealing theory, and sealing applications, and she excelled at this. Kinjiro's adolescence was a time of learning and discovery. Yata encouraged Kinjiro to follow whatever discipline she felt suited her the most, and though it came as a surprise initially, Kinjiro chose the pursuit of medical science. Of course, Kinjiro's primary talents and motivations were intimately linked to her mother's sealing arts, but she discovered ways to transmute the knowledge of seals into knowledge of the body, and immediately set to performing the macabre experiments that are so often associated with the archetypical "mad scientist". Kinjiro's nature led to the majority of her adolescence and young adulthood being mired in research, only really communicating with Yata and the other most powerful members of her clan, and while this could be considered to have stunted her social growth, it resulted in a set of extraordinary accomplishments for somebody so young. Kinjiro's first accomplishment was gaining an advanced understanding of medicine that was hundreds of years beyond her time, with a lack of social prejudices and a natural aptitude for research contributing to her discoveries. Her second accomplishment, perhaps her most useful for the early Jikangai, was the secret to creating structures whose architecture included designed for seals that the structures themselves comprised the framework for. Though this initial discovery was not particularly advanced, it paved the way for many of her brethren to create the fantastical structures that the early Jikangai were known for. Within the space of six months, Kinjiro had created a laboratory for herself with seals ingrained into the structure that slowed the passage of time. Unfortunately, Kinjiro's position as the firstborn of Yata and the first true non-Yata Jikangai resulted in her being outside time, so she did not experience the temporal dilation that her structure was intended to provide. This resulted in Kinjiro aging at a pace that seemed to be too fast for her to make sufficient advancements to attain immortality in while her body was still able to withstand the process. Kinjiro first petitioned Yata's assistance in this regard, asking her to craft a seal that would freeze her body in time while she continued to work on attaining immortality. Yata, who was also ageing, agreed on the condition that she would receive the results of Kinjiro's treatments first. Kinjiro's scientific mind approved of this idea, wanting to view it from a third person perspective before trying it herself, and begun to work on creating a structure to house Yata's new seal. Unfortunately, due to the potency of her blood, Kinjiro was not able to benefit fully from the effects of the powerful seal, and was only able to slow time down enough to grant her ten extra years within the space of one year. This was enough for her to create the most rudimentary version of her elixir of immortality, which she administered to Yata with no observable side effects. Another year of refinement gave Kinjiro the perfected formula that she guards to this day, and when her body had aged to forty two, she became effectively immortal. Though her advancements were great, she felt that under the yoke of her mother's interests Kinjiro had outlived her usefulness with the elixir of immortality that she had provided. She chose to sequester herself away in her laboratory, transporting the structure deep within the ground away from the prying eyes of Yata and the other Jikangai in order to work on her research in peace. Kinjiro maintained close contact with her mother, but let her know that she was going to serve her own interests until such a time as that she considered her research into medical science complete. Yata agreed, but carved into Kinjiro's soul seals of binding to ensure that she could not shirk her duty to her clan. For many years Kinjiro's research continued, resulting in her creation of the Iryō Ninjutsu. These techniques were introduced to the majority of the world through the infamous Jikangai missionaries and would quickly become a staple of any large civilisation. It was at this time that Kinjiro begun to realise the extent of the work that remained for her to complete on the subject of the human body and she formed the first scientific community, taking promising members of the Jikangai (and having the Jikangai missionaries direct any particularly competent individuals to her) and sharing with them the fruits of all of her research under the condition that they made it their life's work to continue the research and share its secrets with no-one until Kinjiro agreed. Though the initial number of participants was small, numbering at four, the community thrived with upwards of a hundred members after a decade of its inception and their work continued. In this period, Kinjiro made ground-breaking discoveries regarding the nature of the elements and created her "Philosopher's Stone" technique. After creating this community, Kinjiro directed her attention to the matter of the seals imprinted upon her soul. As much as Kinjiro loved her mother and their clan, she refused to be bound by her mother's directive for the remainder of her preternaturally long life. Kinjiro began experimenting with ways to reach the Pure World, where the spirits of the dead resided, and due to her potent blood quickly unlocked the secrets of the seals necessary to beckon souls from the Pure World to this world. Combining these secrets with her technique for weaving seals into architecture, Kinjiro created the Jōdomon in order to ask the spirits beyond how to remove the seals from her soul. By contacting the earliest Jikangai that had not been sworn into Yata's service in a manner similar to hers, she gleaned the secrets from the dead and at great effort and expense removed Yata's hold over her. She had originally intended to destroy the Jōdomon to ensure that its secrets would never fall into the hands of another, but given that she had broken the hold of the only being able to control her and the secretive nature of her laboratory (and even more secretive nature of its inner sanctum) she decided that its worth was too great for her to destroy if only she would ever have access to it. Kinjiro's life, at this point, longed for purpose. She had researched solidly for a great many years and was filled with the desire to experience the burning level of curiosity and passion that she once did when she was younger, but there was little else left for her to discover that her colleagues were not already working on. With no knowledge of her own left to research as obsessively as she liked to, Kinjiro turned her eye for improvement inwards and begun the process of upgrading her body. In order to remain both effective and relevant, Kinjiro knew that she would need weapons that went beyond her mastery of anatomy and sealing techniques, but her wealth of knowledge on the body was the strongest point she had to work with and would result in the highest level of competency. With this in mind, Kinjiro decided to take into herself the aspects of animals that had the most lethal and useful qualities, and settled on snakes for their extraordinary perceptive nature and exceptional lethality with their various concentrated venoms. After her transformation, Kinjiro's passion for life was reignited. It is a common saying that every woman, at some point in her life, becomes her mother. For most this is a horrifying revelation, but for Kinjiro it was oddly liberating - there were many worse fates than becoming an ascended being, after all, and Kinjiro visited Yata once more to ask how she could further the clan's agenda with her own research having been completed enough. Yata noted that Kinjiro had removed the seals on her soul, to which Kinjiro confirmed, and applauded her ability to not only defy Yata's will, but also in remaining loyal to the clan and to her mother. Her request, this time, was more serious than any of her others, however - Yata required Kinjiro give birth to a child, to keep the concentrated power of her bloodline flowing through the ages. Kinjiro agreed, but under the condition that she could choose the father and whether or not he would be involved in raising her children. Yata agreed, but on the condition that she would play an active part in raising the children. Kinjiro had never expected nor wanted otherwise, so agreed to the terms and set out to procreate. Unfortunately, Kinjiro's various bodily modifications rendered her unable to have children in her own body, but her advances in medical science were sufficient enough that she could create children through use of a surrogate. Kinjiro chose the father of her child to be Jikangai, Tensai, the first architect to take her initial ideas and develop them into something extraordinary. When the time came to welcome her child into the world, Kinjiro received an unexpected surprise - she had created two children rather than the expected one. She named her children Tsu and Ishiki, and handed them both over to Yata in order for them to gain the guidance necessary for them to become Jikangai proper. After completing this last duty to her clan, Kinjiro decided to live a life of hedonism and luxury until such a point as she felt compelled to return to research. This lifestyle continued until Yata called Kinjiro back to action, sensing that the world would once again have been of her unique talents. Yata and Kinjiro both felt that the Jikangai should be the guiding force of the world, and she is the only individual with the freedom to act that both mother and daughter could truly trust. How Kinjiro’s re-emergence will affect the world cannot be said, but there is at least one guarantee: The world will change, for better or for worse.[/COLOR][/I] [IMG]http://i50.tinypic.com/2h5tkk2.png[/IMG] 【[U]Chakra Nature(s)[/U]】 [COLOR=silver]Katon; Suiton; Fūton; Raiton; Doton; Yin; Yang; Onmyōton[/COLOR] 【[U]Abilities and Special Traits[/U]】 [I][COLOR=silver]Kinjiro has modified her body very extensively through her research, and is, in some regards, more snake than human. Kinjiro has the ability to transform select parts of her body into that of a snake, and some of these transformations are permanent. Kinjiro has the forked tongue of a snake (and its associated organs) with which she can sense. Kinjiro also has the fangs of a snake and venom glands, which can produce any of the poisons in her repertoire, as well as produce a highly concentrated acid capable of easily dissolving steel when chakra is concentrated into them. The acid is coated in a layer of chakra until it leaves her mouth, protecting her from its effects. Kinjiro may metamorphose into the form of a snake at any time. She can take the form of a King Cobra, and is 18 feet long when she does so. Her transformation is taxing on her chakra, so she does not transform lightly. As a Cobra, Kinjiro possesses all of her human form’s abilities, but she does not have any seals on her body (except for the Snake-Keeping-Precepts) seals, which are beneath the scales and so cannot be seen. In her Snake form, Kinjiro is completely indistinguishable from an ordinary snake (except for the fact that she can become very large). Kinjiro is exceptionally well-versed in the human anatomy thanks to her centuries of research, and is able to strike with lethal accuracy at almost any point on the body. In addition to this, thanks to her research and natural chakra control, she is exceptional at Iryō Ninjutsu. It should be noted that Kinjiro is the original creator of Iryō Ninjutsu, and she is hence one of the most proficient users of the art to have ever existed. Kinjiro is a master of Taijutsu, preferring close combat to ranged combat due to her nature. She is also exceptionally proficient at Kenjutsu. Kinjiro is one of the few true masters of Fūinjutsu. Kinjiro’s chakra pool is only around 30% larger than average, but her control over her chakra is immense. Kinjiro has the affinity for every element, [u]but is unable to use elemental jutsu herself[/u]. This does not prevent Kinjiro from moulding the elemental chakra, but the only application she has for elemental chakra is within seals. In addition, Kinjiro’s Onmyōton is restricted solely to Fūinjutsu. Kinjiro is immune to all poisons, all bacterial or viral infections, and all forms of disease due to a series of complex seals and bodily modifications.[/COLOR][/I] 【[U]Weapons, Tools and Equipment[/U]】 [I][COLOR=silver] Kinjiro’s Laboratory is a massive underground complex beneath the village of Kusagakure. The seal is essentially inside a vast underground box that is protected by three layers of seals. One can enter the laboratory through a very specific spot in Kusagakure, or one can use the Kyōsei Keiyaku Kuchiyose no Jutsu in order to transport themselves inside the laboratory. The Lab is easily as big as Konohagakure, and contains four main sectors - The Alchemical sector, the Surgical sector, the Living sector and the Fuel sector. The Alchemical sector contains a vast surplus of alchemical reagents and chemistry equipment. The Alchemical sector is lit with seals that contain fire. The light is emitted much as a lightbulb would emit light, and the heat is transferred throughout the rooms as a form of central heating. There are fume cupboards which seal of the toxic fumes into small wooden boxes, which are occasionally deposited on the surface, or kept to use within the Totem of Venom. The floors have seals written on them that convert carbon dioxide in the air into carbon and oxygen, replenishing the air supply, and giving Kinjiro a large amount of coal for the Fuel sector. These two types of seals are found throughout the entire laboratory. The Surgical sector contains the three operating theatres and the prisons where Kinjiro’s test subjects are kept. There is a kitchen in the Surgical sector where food can be prepared for the prisoners. The Surgical sector contains vast supplies of drugs and medical tools, as well as a catalogue of every poison and antidote Kinjiro has ever encountered - she also keeps a separate, hidden catalogue of her unique venoms and their antidotes. The Living sector is, much as the name implies, where Kinjiro and her allies live. It is very luxurious, and has its own personal kitchen and waste disposal systems. The Living sector is often only home to between 10 to 20 people at a time, so it is the smallest of the sectors, but it is the most well-kept. The Fuel sector contains the furnaces and generators for Kinjiro’s laboratory. There is a massive brewery in the Fuel sector which provides alcohol for Kinjiro’s experiments, as well as drinking alcohol for Kinjiro and her allies. The Fuel sector is the largest sector, taking up the spare space that the Living sector does not take up. The brewery in the Fuel sector is excitedly primed to create some of the most exquisite - and strong - alcohol in all of history, so that one of Kinjiro’s allies in particular may sate her habits. The Lab does not grow its own crops or raise its own animals, so food must be brought down from the surface. Fortunately, Kusagakure is home to many fertile lands which provide Kinjiro’s lab with all of the sustenance it needs. The Lab produces its own water, however.

[b]Rank:[/b] A [b]Description:[/b] The Hebi o Tsūka Doku are an elaborate set of two wooden bokken which Kinjiro has modified for her own uses. The bokken have several seals drawn into them in order to augment their capabilities. The first seal, one of Kinjiro’s Kamikasu seals, prevents anybody except her from wielding the blades. Whenever anybody else attempts to pick the blades up, they will immediately turn to and attempt to use the second seal’s effect. The second seal is essentially a stored version of the Ranshinshō. Upon coming into contact with an opponent (through skin or light clothing) the Bokken immediately use Ranshinshō upon the victim. However, each time a bokken uses this, the derangement of the controls is changed, so the technique is exceptionally difficult to counter, even by other skilled medical ninja. The Bokken are also very heavily infused with Doton chakra, giving them a legendary hardness that is exceptionally difficult to cut with even the sharpest swords. The bokken are, however, still completely blunt and can only cause blunt trauma. [b]Appearance:[/b] Twin wooden bokken swords, each kodachi-sized (about 60cm long, including the hilt). The blade of each sword is covered with intricate ink patterns, each of which constitute a seal.[/hider] [hider=Hebi Shūshuku Emono] [b]Name of Weapon or Item:[/b] Hebi Shūshuku Emono [Snake-Constricting-Prey] [b]Location:[/b] Kinjiro’s body.

Each fibre of the rope has had seals woven into it, each of which contributes to a major seal pervading the entirety of the rope. As Kinjiro wills it, the rope is able to leech chakra from whatever it is touching, as well as move according to her mental commands. The rope is extremely fast, and is impossible to cut with conventional methods due to the nature of the rope. The rope is fireproof and is hydrophobic (it repels water). The rope is a conduit for a much crueler technique, listed below. [b]Appearance:[/b] A rope. [/hider] [hider=Doku] [b]Name of Weapon or Item:[/b] Doku [Venom] [b]Location:[/b] Kinjiro’s body.

She has the quirk of making none of her poisons lethal alone [except those in the Chōzō no Doku, whose purpose is genocide] as she prefers to see her victims suffer before they succumb to her embrace. She has employed a few unique poisons that bring chaos and suffering to all who are unfortunate enough to ingest them - except Kinjiro and her allies. [b]Appearance:[/b] Varies. [/hider] Kinjiro carries apt supplies of all ninja tools that could ever possibly be needed in a scroll sealed into another scroll. Kinjiro carries an entire operating room (sterile and with access to all of her surgical tools) in the first scroll. Kinjiro carries immense vats of salt in the first scroll.

Female Jikangai will pass the Chigoku Inkan onto their children regardless of the genetics of their partner, but if a male Jikangai were to procreate with a non-Jikangai female the resulting child is not guaranteed to possess the Chigoku Inkan, which would result in the child not being a Jikangai. Simply put, the ability of the Chigoku Inkan is an innate mastery of Fūinjutsu that extends into manipulation of ninjutsu-like effects. Bearers of the Jikangai bloodline are able to create any effects that they can imagine provided they meet the following requirements: The effect must be understood completely with a single word, the effect must be within the scope of chakra the individual can muster, and the effect cannot defy any laws of nature of physics. The Chigoku Inkan can only apply these desired effects by creating seals in the air around the user or on nearby surfaces that are constructs of pure and fragile chakra, resulting in their effects being rendered null if the seals are physically disturbed or are subjected to any amount of chakra with larger energy or greater control than the seal created by the Chigoku Inkan possesses. The seals created by the Chigoku Inkan are able to replicate simple elemental techniques without the creator having the elemental affinity necessary to create the chakra, but the seals also have no elemental applications beyond the incredibly minor. The seals are most adept at changes to form due to their Yin-aspected nature, and can be used to perform tasks such as picking locks, exerting physical force (breaking objects, cutting through objects, etc.). As the seals are structurally weak constructs of chakra, their effects on people are highly diminished or negated with even the slightest opposition of chakra unless the Jikangai in question has significantly higher chakra control than the intended target. The primary utilisation of the Chigoku Inkan is the inherent capability with and knowledge of seals and sealing techniques that it provides, but it is nevertheless a fantastic source of utility rather than power, and forms the basis for many Jikangai clan techniques.

The seal is inherently incomplete until the addition of blood and a primer seal created by the Chigoku Inkan. The primer seal can be written and given to non-Jikangai members, but is consumed in the process. When the blood of an individual, or a primer seal created from trace chakra of an individual, meets the incomplete seal (and the user’s blood is added in the latter case) a temporary summoning contract is formed that lasts for a single summon. The user can summon the target to themselves, or themselves to the target. The Kyōsei Keiyaku Kuchiyose no Jutsu has unique limitations determined by the primer seal, restricting the use of the technique if any damage would come to individuals affected by the technique as a result of their being displaced or if they would be displaced upon arrival, resulting in the technique being guaranteed to be safe.

If she has never encountered the technique before, she will not know what it does, but will recognise it in the future should she detect a similar chakra signature. Kinjiro is also able to create a seal with the Chigoku Inkan that can grant her knowledge of techniques gained through this technique to other people by applying it to their foreheads. Should any technique be used within a fifty foot range of a primer seal created by the Chigoku Inkan, Kinjiro will immediately gain full knowledge of that instance of the technique should she detect it with Hebi Shiin Mizu Gijutsu.

Upon choosing an element, all elemental chakra of that nature will be absorbed, negating their harmful effects upon her.

The seal draws chakra from the victim with every instance of movement and accelerates the rate at which the heart circulates chakra throughout the chakra system. With every step, more chakra is added to the seal over the heart, and upon the victim taking the hundredth step while branded with this seal the chakra over their heart will violently explode inwards, destroying the victim’s heart and lungs, and killing them almost instantly. Each step taken reduces the available chakra pool of the victim by 1%. Kinjiro is able to create latent versions of this seal that can activate and deactivate upon being primed with a seal created by the Chigoku Inkan. If the primer seal is applied once, it can be activated or deactivated from any distance if the same primer seal is created again using the Chigoku Inkan. [b]Weakness:[/b] Interpret it yourself.

These are simple containment seals manifested and maintained by the Chigoku Inkan that contain various weapons coated in various non-lethal poisons.

The Totem is a fairly large wooden structure, roughly 20 feet tall, and two carvings shaped like winged snakes protrude from the sides of the totem, reaching a total span of 15 feet. The wood is charred and looks worn well beyond its time, but despite its apparent visual weakness the totem is easily harder than any metal due to the amount of chakra woven into it over its centuries of existence. The bark of the wood is etched very finely with what look like ancient tribal patterns, but are in fact seals carved into the totem. The totem is fireproof and is extremely difficult to actually damage physically. The Totem is essentially a primitive “plague spreader”, and it will release noxious gases containing a mixture of extremely potent poisons and bacteria, spreading death and disease wherever it goes. There is a seal on the base of the totem that binds it to the ground, and unless the seal is removed it becomes incredibly difficult to move so much as an inch. At Kinjiro’s command, the snake protrusions become animated, and slither off of the totem in order to do her bidding. The snakes can relay simple visual and auditory information to Kinjiro, and can spread smaller amounts of the toxic smog that the totem spews from their mouths. Their bites are extremely painful and almost certainly lethal, but the snakes cannot leave an area of 2 kilometers around the Totem, or they will become inanimate. If the snakes are destroyed, they will reform on the totem, but will not be able to be animated again until Kinjiro places more seals upon them. Additionally, the snake’s bites can apply the Hebi nusumu Hikari Gijutsu. [b]Weakness:[/b] Interpret it yourself.

She is also able to apply the seal to an object, and have it bind to the first person that touches the object. As soon as the seal binds to a victim, it begins leeching tiny amounts of chakra from the victim and assimilating them into itself, gradually causing the seal to become a part of the victim. After three days, the seal cannot be removed by any means short of cutting the affected limb from the body. When the seal is fully matured, it converts the victim’s chakra into a potent toxin that is spread throughout the victim’s body, targeting the eyes and the chakra system specifically, slowly causing them to shut down. If this toxin is introduced into the body of a victim who is not branded with the seal, a seal will form and mature over the course of seven days. After another week of the toxin being present in the victim, the victim will become blind and unable to mould their chakra in any way. The poison, after performing these functions, continues to be created in the victim’s body, but it is excreted from the victim’s pores, and trace amounts are left on everything they touch. The poison has no known antidote. [b]Weakness:[/b] Interpret it yourself.

Kinjiro’s Shōsenshin Jutsu does not require actual physical contact with the recipient, and can be used from a considerable distance away provided that the user knows the feel of the victim’s chakra extremely well. The technique’s true power lies in its ability to not only create cells, but to provide them with an environment in which they naturally regenerate and keep in - allowing the Shōsenshin Jutsu to heal wounds that could not otherwise be healed. Additionally, the Shōsenshin Jutsu can read DNA and create cells from the DNA provided they are given a large enough amount of chakra, allowing Kinjiro to create the body parts of individuals at will so that the body will not reject them. A side effect of the Shōsenshin Jutsu is that it suppresses the victim’s immune system for its duration so that the body does not harm itself inadvertently. The immune system will not resume normal function until a second Shōsenshin Jutsu is applied. The Shōsenshin Jutsu is too difficult for any ordinary medical ninja to even hope of performing, and without the Fukutsu no Ishi active, Kinjiro cannot perform it alone. Two people can perform the technique if they both have sufficiently high chakra control. [b]Weakness:[/b] Interpret it yourself.

[b]Nature Type:[/b] Onmyōton | Doton | Katon; Suiton; Raiton [b]Description:[/b] The Kenja no Ishi is the product of Kinjiro’s early alchemical work into the art of transmutation. By changing the structure of the protons and electrons of given molecules, Kinjiro is able to change any given element to another element. She cannot easily transmute compounds in this manner, requiring at least thirty seconds of focus in order to transmute even a basic compound, such as water, into metals. When used with the Onmyōton, Kinjiro can immediately transmute any metal into any other metal within a 3 foot radius of her by touching the surface of the metal she wishes to transmute and branding it with a seal. The transmutation is permanent, even if the seal is removed, but one with knowledge of the seals could reverse the effects of the seal if it remains. The transmutation ripples out from the seal, and will increase or decrease the volume of the material as necessary as it adds or extracts protons from the nuclei of other elements. When used with the Doton, base metals (Copper, Zinc, Nickel, Iron, etc.) can be transmuted into precious metals (Gold, Silver, etc.) or into other base metals. This transmutation takes at least four seconds to work, and requires contact with the metal to be transmuted constantly until the transmutation is finished. When used with the Katon; Suiton; Raiton elements, the user is able to transmute all metals and basic compounds into other basic compounds or metals with a seal, taking at least 10 seconds to fully prime the seal. When the seal is excitedly primed with chakra, the transmutation occurs instantly. [b]Weakness:[/b] Interpret it yourself.

For as long as even a single cell of exists, she can replicate the entirety of the organism it belonged to. This cannot be used to grant life to the dead, as she can only return flesh and not the soul, but she is easily able to reconstruct any number of lost organs or limbs, and can save anybody for as long as they are not yet dead. Kinjiro has concentrated the exact chakra required to create her entire body into seals and distributed them among herself, allowing her to completely heal any injury on her body as soon as it is made. These seals must be activated with a primer seal created by the Chigoku Inkan before they will trigger, but a primer seal is automatically created should Kinjiro receive a blow with the capacity to kill her.

As soon as the seal is branded, it disappears completely from sight and can only be seen by those branded with a primer seal created by the Chigoku Inkan. The seal can still be removed, but it is exceptionally difficult. While the victim is branded with this seal, Kinjiro has a latent “perception” of whatever the victim perceives, allowing her to essentially use people as her eyes and ears. By sacrificing the portion of her soul bound to the seal, Kinjiro is able to summon herself to the location of the branded victim, or summon the victim to her. [b]Weakness:[/b] Interpret it yourself.

By moulding her Yin chakra into a unique seal, Kinjiro may impress an “idea” onto an object. The ideas that Kinjiro may impress upon something are very much open-ended, and she may choose to impress the idea that should X happen, the branded object will react by performing Y. Then, Kinjiro impresses her Yang chakra into the object, causing the object to forcibly perform the action, even against its owner’s will. Kinjiro has limitless application with this technique, and is essentially able to impose her will onto any inanimate object. [b]Weakness:[/b] Interpret it yourself.

Time is slowed within these seals, but any individuals that possess the Chigoku Inkan are completely immune to its effects. For every second that would occur outside of the ring, ten seconds pass within the ring (time is slowed to one tenth of its normal pace). The ring lasts for up to three seconds, and can only be used once per day. Kinjiro cannot attack any targets within the range of Shūki-Gai for its duration. [b]Weakness:[/b] Interpret it yourself.

[b]Nature Type:[/b] N/A [b]Description:[/b] While a victim is bound with the Hebi Shūshuku Emono, Kinjiro and at least one assistant (two is preferable) may perform this technique. Kinjiro begins by resting her palms on either side of the victim’s head, on their temples, and channelling her chakra through the victim’s body in a manner similar (but not identical to) the Shōsenshin Jutsu. The assistant(s) place their palms over the heart and the lungs, and any additional assistants help with the control of the chakra. The result of the technique’s completion (which requires roughly 30 minutes) is that the victim is permanently transformed into a snake, with their DNA changed and their body completely transformed. During the transformation, a black liquid begins to leak from every orifice of the victim, containing their DNA and their memories, which can be drunk or assimilated through a seal in order to gain the memories of the victim. The technique is excruciatingly painful, and the only reason the technique is able to take place is that the rope binds the victim. The technique is extremely useful as a torture technique, as the metamorphosis can be left unfinished and only the memories that Kinjiro wishes to extract can be forced to leave the body. Unfortunately, if the transformation is stopped prior to completion the victim will die as their body no longer functions without the assistance of Kinjiro and her assistants. This technique is very difficult to perform, and often requires Kinjiro use the Fukutsu no Ishi, even with assistants. It can only be performed once every week due to chakra restrictions not only on Kinjiro, but also on the Hebi Shūshuku Emono, which loses its power for a week until it can recharge.

The gate forms a passage to the Jōdo [Pure World], where the souls of the deceased reside. Kinjiro is able to cross over into their world temporarily to converse with the souls, and she is also able to temporarily bring souls from their world into our world temporarily as long as they have a host to reside in. This technique was the basis for the Kuchiyose: Edo Tensei, but it is not even nearly as cruel to the souls or to the hosts (who regain normal function after the spirit leaves and are not harmed). Kinjiro avoids using the gate if possible due to the Pure World rejecting those who do not belong there, and will try not to go there if she can help it. The gate is usually not active due to chakra costs and the potential for abuse. [b]Weakness:[/b] Interpret it yourself. [b]Name of Jutsu:[/b] Fukutsu no Ishi [Indomitable Will] [b]Type of Jutsu:[/b] Fūinjutsu [b]Rank:[/b] S [b]Range:[/b] Personal [b]Element Affinity (If Applicable):[/b] N/A [b]Description:[/b] A series of seals created with several years of intense research and the pinnacle of both Fūinjutsu and Iryō Ninjutsu. The seals are tattooed to the entire body, except the face, and leave a particular sigil: 支配 [Shihai; Dominate] on each of the eight gates. Then, tracing along each of the Tenketsu, the sigil: 縛る [Shibaru; Bind] is tattooed. The result of this, as well as the powerful seals that connect the sigils, is that the bearer gains complete dominance over their Chakra system when the seals are activated. The sigils passively control the user’s chakra system as defined by their will, heightening their control to an extremely fine level, but the true power of the technique lies when the user pours an exceptional amount of willpower into the activation of the seals. In this state, each sigil glows a very light blue, with the 支配 [Shihai; Dominate] seals glowing a much stronger blue. The user’s chakra levels increase twofold due to the gentle tapping of the gates, and their chakra control becomes so immensely fine that they are able to do several things: Firstly, they are able to release their chakra as a “physical” form in the likeness of water, and control it completely and utterly. No chakra absorption techniques will affect this mass of chakra unless the user is damaged on one of the eight main sigils, causing it to malfunction. This “water” is able to be used for any technique that the user may use at any given range, allowing for intensely strategic combinations or uses of jutsu. Secondly, the user’s chakra dominates all other chakra in its presence, unless the chakra’s owner has sufficient (extremely high) control to counteract the power of the Fukutsu no Ishi. The “water” passing over techniques comprised of loose chakra will absorb them and purify them, converting them into the user’s chakra. Each time this is used, one of the eight main sigils dims slightly, and after all eight are dimmed the active component of the seal is negated. Thirdly, the user gains a “long-range” version of the Jūken, which allows them to strike chakra through motions of the body and the extension of their chakra and vast control. It may also be used to disrupt the flow of the enemy’s natural chakra system and even cut it with sufficient medical application - much like the Rasenshuriken - albeit much more controlled. Surgery may also be performed in this manner, using the target’s own chakra to form tools inside of their body. However, bearing the extreme discipline necessary to fully activate this technique is mentally and spiritually exhausting. Spiritual energy must be expended to keep the technique active, and this prevents the user from having a particularly large chakra pool, cleaving existing chakra to Physical and Spiritual energy in order to sustain itself if necessary.

While he is no social butterfly, Yūhi loves to interact with people and educate them on topics that he possesses vast amounts of knowledge on. Yūhi firmly believes in Kinjiro's philosophy of "secrets kept are weapons wasted", and applies this philosophy to most of the esoteric knowledge that he has had the fortune to come across in his time working with Kinjiro. Yūhi is driven most, perhaps, by a burning desire to know everything. When idle, his thoughts are consumed by the remainder of knowledge that he is yet to obtain, and thoughts of what he could do with knowledge that he does obtain. Thus, contrary to the majority of his kinsmen, Yūhi has a strong desire to travel the world to both obtain new knowledge and share his old knowledge, that people might elevate themselves to his level and beyond. Yūhi's passion for knowledge can burn cold, however, when individuals show either no desire to learn or no appreciation for the knowledge he has to offer - such individuals are beyond his help, he reasons, and often death is the easiest reprieve from the burden of their existence. As a quasi-immortal, Yūhi values the individual lives of mortals markedly less that most people do. While he has not lived for so long that he has forgotten what it is to have the threat of mortality looming over one's shoulder, he has lived for long enough that he has ceased caring about what he views as petty trifles. Yūhi, even when in his element of sharing knowledge, can come across as cold and sarcastic. He may seem unfeeling or unsympathetic, bordering on completely lacking empathy, but reasons to himself that logic and knowledge are far kinder masters to live under and expects other to obey the rules that he does. Fortunately, many who do not share in his mindset who are particularly vocal about it do not have the privilege of having transcended mortality as he has and are relatively easy to dispatch should disagreements turn to blows. Yūhi has served in an advisory position for a great deal of his extended life, and his passion for sharing knowledge gives him somewhat of a soft spot for those that seek his guidance and listen to him, even if that soft spot is coated in barbs. Yūhi can come across easily as being irreverent and cold, detached from his humanity, but he does harbour a genuine desire to both help people learn and help them advance - even if those desires are not put to use in ways that are typically construed as being positive.

Yata's early history is unknown to anyone but herself, but there are a few established facts that the Jikangai are privy to: Yata was among the first to receive the gift of chakra, and in her blood were the secrets to the first sealing techniques. Yata became the first to utilise the nature of the seal to manipulate chakra in ways that could not be achieved within the body, and her rise to power was as swift as it was lethal. Yata later discovered that her sealing techniques were potent enough to affect the flow of time within small areas, and developed this power over many years alone. At some point, Yata gave birth to her first child, Kinjiro, with an unknown father who was on a similar or greater level of power to her, and Kinjiro was born with all of Yata's power except that over time, though she was the first Jikangai known to possess the trait of being "outside time", likely a result of Yata's experimentation with temporal energies. The earliest members of the Jikangai were not selectively bred or taught like many of the earliest coalitions of clans. Initially, to gain entry to the Jikangai one only needed to be a powerful male (in order to create children from Yata's side to pass her potent sealing power down) or to have an interest in the sealing techniques that Yata offered. Coalitions of like-minded people that were not required to possess specific traits were initially rare, so the earliest Jikangai groupings were not as powerful as many of the other fledgling clans, but as the requirements to join were so simple, many chose to partake of the power that Yata offered. War was common in the early days as people discovered the limitations of their newfound power, but the Jikangai chose to weave seals within their architecture that offered them highly fortified and defensive positions through which to avoid battle. The legendary safety of their strongholds resulted in those tired of war defecting to join the Jikangai, and after a few short decades the Jikangai had members of almost every discipline that presently existed and the means to research many more. When Yata's first child, Kinjiro, turned thirty two she achieved the secrets of immortality and shared these with her mother, causing the pair to become biologically immortal for a time. This secret gave the matriarch of the Jikangai clan enough time to perfect the seals that would render her truly immortal and cement her eternal reign over the Jikangai. It was also around this time that Kinjiro disappeared from the annals of the Jikangai, taking with her several of the more medically minded individuals of the time with her, and the clan turned from essentially worshipping its most powerful members (those who had most of Yata's blood) to a more expansion-oriented people, using their collective knowledge and sealing prowess to become conquerors. The seal-infused architecture typical of the early Jikangai strongholds became as much a weapon of war as the rest of the techniques within the Jikangai's grasp and they reconstructed many settlements that they took over with their own to ensure that none that came after them could take the land should they be ousted, and other contingents of the Jikangai could take their place. The love for complex sealing and structures quickly became the largest downfall of the Jikangai, and their promising expansion years were cut short after only a small number of generations due to infighting within the clan, and their own seal-infused architecture being sabotaged by rival members within the power-oriented clan. Many of the less powerful members died during raids from other sects within the Jikangai, or through the defences upon which they heavily relied being rendered defunct and invading parties having enough of a surprise advantage to turn the tide of battle in their favour. The most powerful of the Jikangai survived and chose to withdraw into the heavily fortified structures that they had relied upon in their infancy, abandoning hopes of conquest for mastery over their sealing techniques under Yata's directive. Yata, the Immortal Matriarch, directed the clan's efforts towards creating a set of seals of unknown form and function shortly after their withdrawal from their expansive phase, and at some point within the next ten years all instances of the Jikangai on the surface world promptly vanished and retreated into a single underground compound. Much controversy was raised over the reason for the disappearance of any large body of Jikangai, but several missionaries remained in the world to quell these rumours and to recruit promising talents into the folds of the Jikangai. Though it would seem, from looking at the history books, that the Jikangai simply erased themselves from the world, nothing could be farther from the truth. After withdrawing to their underground compound, the Jikangai returned to their original state of pseudo-ancestor worship. Yata once again became the ultimate public authority within the clan (where before she had largely ruled from the shadows) and once the seals she had ordered the clan create were finished, she ascended beyond the mortal scope of power. With her new seals, Yata's presence was dangerous to all non-Jikangai, and though there was no immediate aftermath, the clan grew worried that her unchecked power would draw attention to their hiding location and chose to construct a sphere in which to entrap their Immortal Matriarch and limit her power. Yata herself designed the seals for her gilded cage, recognising the threat that she posed, and willingly withdrew to lead the clan from within a place that she could do no harm. Unfortunately, Yata's prison limited the contact that she could have with her children, and she receded from the spotlight once more to allow the Jikangai to work towards goals she would entrust to the most powerful members of the clan. It was at this point that the various sects of the Jikangai begun to develop, each with a focus on a particular aspect of sealing, and the clan begun to evolve into the complex society that it is today. In order to avoid stagnancy, the Jikangai offered the secrets of their seals to the world for knowledge and resources that they may have needed through use of their missionaries, who in return recruited brilliant individuals to join the clan. This process has continued since that era, and is still something that occurs semi-regularly within the Jikangai. It is not uncommon for the most powerful members of the Jikangai (those selected to receive Kinjiro's gift of immortality) to directly intervene with mortals of specific interest and prowess to offer them unique gifts in return for their service. Some would liken the Jikangai to would-be Gods, undying beings with a penchant for interfering within the lives of perceived lesser beings for their amusement, but the truth of the matter is far simpler than that: The Jikangai scions are mortal ambition taken to its furthest extreme, with the power to match, and delight in precisely the same game of control that all mortals do, only on a larger scale. Jikangai, Yūhi is among the earliest of the so-called "Immortal Scions" of the Jikangai clan, having been selected to join their ranks at an early age when his extreme talent showed through. Yūhi's early life was fairly common among that of the early Jikangai with the exception that as a male, he was not given the same level of prestige and importance as females as he was unable to guarantee true Jikangai children. This led to Yūhi growing up with an intense drive to prove to his superiors - namely Kinjiro, Yata, and Tensai - that he was able to compete with the champions of the Jikangai. Yūhi was born in the fourth generation of the Jikangai clan, and was (alongside Tensai) one of the extremely rare cases of early Jikangai males being born with the full potency of the Chigoku Inkan from a non-Jikangai mother. Yūhi was raised alongside the most promising of the Jikangai at the time, even having been directly tutored by Yata and Kinjiro regarding some of the most complex of the sealing techniques the early clan had devised. Still, as a male, Yūhi was not afforded the same luxuries that the early females of the clan were and rather than seek his fortunes elsewhere, he strove to compete with the best of the clan as his grandfather Tensai had done, and to join him in the ranks of the then-legendary Immortal Scions. Yūhi's particular talents were new to the early Jikangai, being rooted in the discipline of paper and the storage of knowledge outside of conventional mediums. This made him a particularly prized asset, despite the misfortune of his sex, and from the young age of fourteen he had already made such advancements in the field of writing and containing powerful seals within paper that he was approached by Yata with an offer. Yata would craft for him an item of exceptional power, something to set him far above his peers, if he swore himself to her for an eternity. At this point in the clan's history, Yata was not as supremely powerful as she later grew to be, but Yūhi was not easily swayed by her promises of power after the treatment he had received for having been male. He kindly refused, aware of the consequences of such an action, but rather than being excommunicated (or worse), Yata offered to create for him an artifact regardless of his affiliations if he could produce a female heir to carry on his potent blood. This proved an issue for the young Jikangai, who was exclusively interested in the company of other men, but his desire to bring glory to his clan was such that he attempted to provide Yata with a worthy heir. Unfortunately, this did not happen as planned, and Yūhi was left with but one other option - he turned to Kinjiro before her disappearance, and beseeched of her a way to provide Yata with what she desired to bring glory to the clan. Kinjiro offered him a bargain, though to his surprise one far more palatable than the Immortal Matriarch had offered: If Yūhi swore fealty to her and joined her in researching the secrets of Fūinjutsu she would grant him a child and immortality, with no consequences for him leaving after he had worked under her for at least a hundred years. Yūhi accepted, and through Kinjiro's early mastery of genetics was able to conceive a child with a surrogate mother. The child was female, and Kinjiro confirmed for Yata that the child had the potency of Chigoku Inkan desired in the female line. Following this, Yūhi was asked to bring a single item of power to Yata with a single wish and she would craft for him an artifact of immense power, as agreed. For many days and nights Yūhi pondered what to ask of Yata, before deciding that he would simply ask for whatever first entered his head as she asked the question. As he came face to face with her, and she asked what he would like crafting, he simply handed her a paperweight and asked her to do with it whatever she felt would most benefit the Jikangai. Yata created from the paperweight a cube holding the secrets to the most fiendishly complex of the Jikangai's seals, able to modify and transmute lesser seals, and work with Yūhi's specialty of paper, and sent him on his way. Immediately afterwards, he relocated to Kinjiro's laboratory to uphold that end of his bargain. Many years came and went, and Yūhi excelled in his position as loremaster and chronciler for Kinjiro's scientific community. After his hundred years of service were over, he decided to stay in the service of Kinjiro, having grown to appreciate her extraordinary talent and love for the Jikangai - and offered the use of his artifact should it prove useful. Useful it proved, as Kinjiro unlocked several of Yata's secrets with it, and sent Yūhi to the surface world in order to act as a personal missionary. Yūhi will likely return to the laboratory when there is more research to be chronicled or more papers to organise - but until then he is a trusted set of eyes and ears on the surface world, ready to report back to Kinjiro should it become necessary.

[b]Owner:[/b] Yūhi Jikangai [b]Rank:[/b] A [b]Description:[/b]The Yata no Kesan is a cube forged of an unknown metal and carved with exceptionally intricate seals. The cube has a hollow interior into which its bearer may place objects in order to use the cube’s effects by placing them on a seal atop the cube. Due to the nature of the cube, the space within is potentially infinite and so anything can be inserted into the cube (and, if it is not alive and does not have a strong chakra signature, can be kept there indefinitely). The cube has three major functions, the first of which is the creation and modification of Fūinjutsu. The cube is able to analyse any and all seals that are placed into its interior (which often requires the bearer copy the seal in question) and provide information on their construction and purpose, as well as provide a counter-seal to negate the seal’s effects if such a seal can be created. (This means that many Jikangai seals, which require Primer Seals created by the Chigoku Inkan, cannot effectively be negated by the cube). The second of the cube’s major functions is the ability to act as a conduit for its bearer’s Chigoku Inkan, allowing them to perform an extended array of functions with their bloodline. In Yūhi’s case, he is able to apply his Chigoku Inkan to any paper within a 70 foot radius of the cube. The cube is also able to store Primer Seals that Yūhi did not himself create, and can replicate them at will for the future. This is also the case for non-Jikangai unique seals. The final major function of the cube is its ability to contain and interpret knowledge. The cube is essentially a storage device in this regard with the ability to translate knowledge, such as jutsu, into an appropriate Fūinjutsu that its bearer can understand. This process is reliant on the knowledge of the bearer and the knowledge stored within the cube – as such, Yūhi can use it to understand practically any jutsu due to his strong knowledge of the chakra system and of jutsu in general provided that the cube is able to analyse a sample of the chakra, be it from the jutsu being performed within 100 feet of the cube or if its chakra has been stored in another medium and introduced to the cube. The cube is also able to decipher any linguistic codes given to it due to Yūhi’s immense knowledge of linguistics.

Female Jikangai will pass the Chigoku Inkan onto their children regardless of the genetics of their partner, but if a male Jikangai were to procreate with a non-Jikangai female the resulting child is not guaranteed to possess the Chigoku Inkan, which would result in the child not being a Jikangai. Simply put, the ability of the Chigoku Inkan is an innate mastery of Fūinjutsu that extends into manipulation of ninjutsu-like effects. Bearers of the Jikangai bloodline are able to create any effects that they can imagine provided they meet the following requirements: The effect must be understood completely with a single word, the effect must be within the scope of chakra the individual can muster, and the effect cannot defy any laws of nature of physics. The Chigoku Inkan can only apply these desired effects by creating seals in the air around the user or on nearby surfaces that are constructs of pure and fragile chakra, resulting in their effects being rendered null if the seals are physically disturbed or are subjected to any amount of chakra with larger energy or greater control than the seal created by the Chigoku Inkan possesses. The seals created by the Chigoku Inkan are able to replicate simple elemental techniques without the creator having the elemental affinity necessary to create the chakra, but the seals also have no elemental applications beyond the incredibly minor. The seals are most adept at changes to form due to their Yin-aspected nature, and can be used to perform tasks such as picking locks, exerting physical force (breaking objects, cutting through objects, etc.). As the seals are structurally weak constructs of chakra, their effects on people are highly diminished or negated with even the slightest opposition of chakra unless the Jikangai in question has significantly higher chakra control than the intended target. The primary utilisation of the Chigoku Inkan is the inherent capability with and knowledge of seals and sealing techniques that it provides, but it is nevertheless a fantastic source of utility rather than power, and forms the basis for many Jikangai clan techniques.

The seal is inherently incomplete until the addition of blood and a primer seal created by the Chigoku Inkan. The primer seal can be written and given to non-Jikangai members, but is consumed in the process. When the blood of an individual, or a primer seal created from trace chakra of an individual, meets the incomplete seal (and the user’s blood is added in the latter case) a temporary summoning contract is formed that lasts for a single summon. The user can summon the target to themselves, or themselves to the target. The Kyōsei Keiyaku Kuchiyose no Jutsu has unique limitations determined by the primer seal, restricting the use of the technique if any damage would come to individuals affected by the technique as a result of their being displaced or if they would be displaced upon arrival, resulting in the technique being guaranteed to be safe.

Akaritori is a woman scarred by the horrors of this world. Once, she was a champion of the Light, of purity and chastity and virtue. Those times died when her family did, and after the atrocities that Akaritori witnessed, she has taken her light to a darker place. Once, Akaritori was a kind woman who wanted to spare the world from its pain. She worked day and night to learn the arts of the sword so that she could stand up for those who could not take up arms themselves, and though she did not realise it, a great evil was born with her - for with conviction there must be absolute belief, and absolute belief brooks no threats to its authority, imagined or otherwise. Akaritori was virtuous to the extreme - she believed that all life, no matter how marred by imperfection, should be protected - for life is a precious gift, and squandering it is a great crime. No matter how strong one's belief becomes, it should never define them. Conviction should never become the singular facet upon which the delicate balance of the mind rests, but for one as fervent as Akaritori, this downfall was perhaps inevitable. The worst moral crises are those that the mind has imposed on itself by virtue of its own conviction, and it was Akaritori's great faith that finally broke her spirit - for her faith was so great that mere facts could not shake it, and this staunch belief was turned against her. When one life claims another as its own, what can one who believes that all life is sacred do? Akaritori could not hold on to her pristine ethical code and simultaneously save the lives of her people, and this raged inside of her like a great battle for many years - each life she took trying to prevent more of those who she had grown up with from being assimilated brought her closer to her demise. It is not easy to wash out the blood on one's hands - especially that which is only imagined - and just as each death killed a little spark inside Akaritori, each life she saved brought her closer to the light. For a warrior so ensconced in the light which she so firmly believed in, Akaritori was blind to how it blinded her, and she wandered alone in the dark, unable to see for all of the blood she imagined was dripping down her face. There is only so much that a single person can endure, no matter how brilliant their light may be, and the brighter the light that sustains you, the darker the shadow it casts. The shadow of the candle looms tall even as its light grows dim, and the longer the shadow, the greater the darkness that will inevitably consume it. Now, Akaritori is but a husk of her past-self. Her core remains sacrosanct, but the morals that surround it have fallen to the darker side of the psyche, and where once a desire to save all life was fostered a great rift has formed, a rift that has consumed purity with vengeance. The innocent must always be protected, such is true to her core, but Akaritori can no longer bear the pain of her failures, and she targets evil indiscriminately. She vanquishes those who have fallen to the allure of "black magics" with the same conviction she once would have fought for their life with, slaying them before they can harm so much as a single innocent with their selfishness. After her fall from grace, Akaritori became much darker, much more prone to fits of grief-driven vengeance. She has become a woman who hunts the forces of night ruthlessly, and is eager to condemn all those who would harm the innocent, even at the cost of everything else. After finding Windspeaker Touho, Akaritori has begun to reclaim parts of who she was, and in the same vein parts of her have died - she is a fairer, more just individual that is not wont to reckless acts without provocation. Still her heart seethes with rage at the injustices that occur in the world, still her mind burns with the desire to cleanse the impure, but she now has more temperance and patience with which to bolster her almighty power - and those under her have benefited greatly from it. [/I] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/DN3p4.png[/IMG] 【[U]History[/U]】 [I]The woman known as Akaritori began her life in a peaceful city from across the seas known as Alaria. Exae was a peaceful and prosperous city, with three main districts - Exae, the home of Law, Nykt, the home of Mystery, and Naya, the home of the Wild. When each of the districts of Alaria worked together, the results were legendary, and the city glowed among its brethren like a glittering jewel, a marvel of the works of cooperation and the human spirit. There were times when one or more districts did not cooperate, such was expected, but they were far and few between. Alaria was a glorious city of progress, and all of its inhabitants lived in a golden age. Akaritori was brought into the world on the back of perfection, and she was raised to do nothing else but bask in its glow. Akaritori was always a happy child, even from her first day in this world. She was never too problematic, never cried too much, and her parents would swear that she'd sleep through the night just so they could get some rest. Love was abundant in the life of this particular child, and it shaped her, over years, into a beautiful child. Akaritori's hair glittered like the sun, and even her body had an almost papery translucence to it, shimmering with all of the hues of the sun. Akaritori was radiant, and her parents knew what that particular fact meant: Akaritori was born with the Hokori no Exae [Pride of Exae]. Gifted with the rare genetic mutation that happened semi-frequently in the city, Akaritori's destiny was carved out for her from the second she could walk. Though the love never left her life, its presence was withdrawn when Akaritori was taken from her loving family to be trained in Exae's arts of swordplay. It was expected that members of the Pride would be proficient in all of Alaria's customs, from Exae's swordplay to Nykt's artifice to Naya's compassion. Each of these lessons were taken well by the young Akaritori, but she demonstrated by far the most skill in her home district's abilities, those of Exae. Akaritori grew up to be an exemplar of the values that Exae held above all others, and she was chosen to be the Champion of Exae, the fated hero who would guide Exae to a shining new destiny. Many had forgotten that the title of Champion had been the result of a prophecy where doom would come to Alaria. Most, but not all. It was on her twenty-first birthday that Akaritori was approached by a hooded woman, in the colours of Naya, who pressed a letter to her chest and said: "Persevere, for the darkness encroaches. Seek out Ophiuchus, Keeper of the Precepts.". The letter - white ink on black paper, and the seal of Nykt upon its edges - which warned her of the upcoming battles she would face. Akaritori, a woman who had always been a champion at heart, could not ignore the dark portents that had been revealed to her and she sought out the woman in Naya who had sent her the letter. She found nothing but dust. For three years, Akaritori pressed her concerns to the back of her mind, and continued on her duties as a protector of the innocent. When she turned 24, she woke up one morning to find the letter that she had received three years ago on her bed, with new writing replacing the old. There were only two words on that piece of paper, but the scrawling script and eldritch curvature of the lettering chilled her to her core: "We arrive." Akaritori immediately took up arms to find the mysterious beings that had changed her letter, but after a day her search ended with nothing. She chose to retire to her chambers, but as the sun began to set the encroaching darkness revealed signs of a plague within Exae. The next few days are what shaped Akaritori's entire life. After a few days of careful study, it was determined by the healers of Naya that the plague was no ordinary disease, but was a parasitic organism that consumed the mind of its host and used the flesh to build itself a body before roaming to infect others. Very few people were initially infected, but the plague spread quickly if left unchecked, and so much as a single escapee could devastate the entirety of Alaria. Fortune had it that as the plague hit Nykt had a massive argument with Naya about the price of ore and other materials, and despite both Naya and Exae's urging to Nykt that the plague was more important, the council of Nykt would not listen, and withdrew all of their support to Exae, sticking exclusively to their own district. It was not long until Nykt fell to the plague - three weeks and not a single sound except the crunching of bones and the screams of the damned could be heard from Nykt. Exae and Naya quickly banded together to fight off the army of plague, and a state of war was declared. Exae and Naya both called upon their greatest champions, and the Pride of Exae was to lead the charge into Nykt. Akaritori agreed to the charge readily, and lead the most powerful members of the Exaean Caste to war. The war waged for many years, and in those years, the outskirts of Exae and Naya both fell to the plague, but the corruption was stymied enough that as a whole, the two cities managed to survive. Akaritori was largely successful in her campaign to root out the corruption in Nykt, and after four long years she had managed to save as many innocent lives as possible. The Nayans and Exaeans had managed to halt the corruption in those infected, but they would never be able to cure them. It was enough to survive, but not enough to save the innocent. That was a trade that Akaritori simply was not willing to accept, and she pushed the council to find a definitive cure. At long last, the combined efforts of Alaria managed to halt the spread of the plague long enough that, finally, Akaritori could take a breath and relax. She went back to Exae, and she asked the magistrates if she could see her family. The reply was swift and brutal: Akaritori's family had died within the first year of the war, overcome by plague before they could evacuate. Akaritori was never told for fear of her becoming too mournful to fight. Akaritori left Exae quickly, and fled to the ruins of Nykt where she began to mourn for her family. As she thought about her family, her sadness gave way to an incredible rage - the loss of everyone she had ever loved, and she had not known for six years. She was furious at the Exaeian Council for not having the decency to have told her, and in a fit of grief Akaritori plundered the last remaining archives of Nykt's knowledge. She learned of the true power of her Pride of Exae, and it was decided: For her family, who had never gotten a proper funeral, Akaritori would make a funeral pyre of Alaria. As Akaritori wept, she pointed her sword towards the heavens and asked whatever gods there may be to grant her the strength to avenge her family, to avenge the innocent, and to punish the corrupt that had destroyed her home and her life. No gods answered, but the power that lay deep within her heard her earnest plea and with that power she burned all of Exae to ashes. The pathetic neatness of Exae was nothing before her rage and her grief. From that day, Akaritori was broken. She was a corrupted shade of who she was, and she vowed only one thing: Nobody else would suffer like she had. She would protect the innocent, and she would rip apart anybody or anything that attempted to stay her hand. She would seek out the "Keeper of Precepts" that the woman had mentioned for answers about why Exae had suffered - if she could not avenge them, she would learn why they had to die. The woman proved difficult to track down, initially, and Alaria held no more answers for its disgraced champion. After so long searching, Akaritori gave up, unable to continue in her fruitless search. Of all of the Hidden Villages, Kyokujitsu's strict adherence to peace spoke to her the most, and Sankage Ayameko appointed her as Head of the Police Force, partnered with (much to her chagrin) Kei.[/I] [IMG]http://i50.tinypic.com/2h5tkk2.png[/IMG] 【[U]Chakra Nature(s)[/U]】 [I]Hikariton [Light Release][/I] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/DN3p4.png[/IMG] 【[U]Other Specialties[/U]】 [I] Akaritori is one of the most renowned practitioners of kenjutsu in the world, and is a true master of the skill.

By using Nyktian forging techniques from Akaritori’s birthplace, steel has been infused with so much Hikariton chakra that it took the form of light rather than steel. Aside from this change, Masayoshi is not particularly more deadly than any other Katana, except for its legendary sharpness and its inability to be wielded by anybody other than Akaritori due to its composition.

[b]Owner:[/b] Akaritori [b]Rank:[/b] A [b]Description:[/b] An advanced set of goggles designed to protect Akaritori’s eyes from the intense light that she wields. The lenses are tinted so that the light she commands does not blind her without hindering her own moves. The goggles have also been technologically modified to be able to sense heat using thermal vision, and they have a setting to detect the bouncing of light waves much like a geographical graph would display isobars, allowing her to truly detect most people despite their efforts to hide. These tinted goggles prevent all eye-based genjutsu that would work on Akaritori. The goggles have a powerful zoom function that allow Akaritori to view targets in focus from approximately a mile away. [b]Appearance:[/b] A set of white “binoculars” that constantly cover Akaritori’s eyes. The binoculars are made of a white plastic, with tinted black rectangles where her eyes are.

[b]Rank:[/b] A-S [b]Description:[/b] The Hokori no Exae is an odd kekkei genkai offering the user access to a realm of supercharged and condensed light. This realm of light is not fully accessible to any user of the Hokori no Exae, but instead allows the users to “bleed” the light from it, infusing it into their bodies and creating areas suffused with large amounts of this light. This light has various properties, but as it is supercharged a small amount is very bright, often causing users of the technique to glow. The main ability of this light is that users of the Kagayaki are able to transfer the powerful light into other forms of energy - namely Kinetic energy, Heat energy and Electrical energy. The Hokori no Exae is typically manifested as a set of angelic wings, as is the case with Akaritori and has been known to give the user a Halo as well, which is often seen as an exertion of energy - like a second form of the Kekkei Genkai. The user is only able to access this realm of light via special seals, however, and if they wish to create an area of light they must clearly mark the area with seals. Users of the Hokori no Exae find that they are much stronger than the average person, and, in fact, than most ninja due to the immense light energy running through their bodies that is converted to other energies, which passively trains their muscles as if they are constantly working out, and thus gives them incredible taijutsu ability. [b]Weakness:[/b] Requires seals to activate outside of the Hikari no Hagai.[/I] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/DN3p4.png[/IMG] 【[U]Canon Jutsu[/U]】 Basic Academy Techniques 【[U]Custom Jutsu[/U]】 [b]Name of Jutsu:[/b] Hikari no Hagai [Wings of Light] [b]Rank:[/b] C [b]Range:[/b] Personal [b]Type of Jutsu:[/b] Ninjutsu [b]User(s):[/b] Akaritori [b]Element Affinity [If Applicable]:[/b] Hikariton [Light Release] [b]Description:[/b] The Hikari no Hagai are a series of complex seal tattoos on Akaritori’s back that constantly draw light energy from the Kagayaki’s Realm of Light and bind it into 8 wings on her back. The wings are in two sets of four. Use of the wings is necessary for Akaritori’s light based attacks while not in the Kōyōkū. The wings naturally recharge over time, and require five seconds per wing to recharge. Only one wing may recharge at a time.

The slash is very difficult to avoid due to the fact the enemy, if they are in ten feet [which is highly likely] is unable to see for the duration of the slash. The light is constantly converted until the slash ends. The kinetic energy is also applied to Akaritori’s light-infused muscles, causing her to become much speedier for the duration of the slash. Requires two wings of the Hikari no Hagai, unless in the Kōyōkū. Additionally, Akaritori's speed is even greater in the Kōyōkū. [b]Weakness:[/b] Interpret it yourself.

Akaritori channels energy through her Katana and floods an area of 10 feet diameter with light to blind and disorient her enemies, and then converts all of the light used to blind the victims into kinetic energy, creating an extremely fast slash with her Katana that is difficult to avoid and carries a lot of strength. The slash is very difficult to avoid due to the fact the enemy, if they are in ten meters [which is highly likely] is unable to see for the duration of the slash. The kinetic energy is also applied to Akaritori’s light-infused muscles, causing her to become much speedier for the duration of the slash. Expends two wings of the Hikari no Hagai initially, and another if Akaritori wishes to empower her slash. [b]Weakness:[/b] Interpret it yourself.

Everything inside the sphere is pulled towards Akaritori’s central location but this is a one-time sharp “push”. Akaritori may also create a number of thrusts with her Katana by expending 10% of her chakra, instead focussing the “general” area of kinetic energy into a series of sharp series of thrusts that act much like extra blades. Requires two wings of the Hikari no Hagai, unless in the Kōyōkū. [b]Weakness:[/b] Interpret it yourself.

Immediately, everything within Hōsha Kyū is pushed back 10 feet [assuming it can be affected by kinetic energy]. The execution of this move is a circular slash with her blade, which instantly causes the move to be used. Requires two wings of the Hikari no Hagai. [b]Weakness:[/b] Interpret it yourself.

This cylinder of light is centered on her Katana, and upon reaching an enemy is converted into sheer heat energy. This is equivalent to one of the most powerful Katon techniques, Amaterasu, in sheer heat - however - it does not last nearly as long. For 10% of her chakra, Akaritori may also convert some of the energy to kinetic energy, slightly lessening the heat power of the technique but simultaneously causing it to knock back whatever it hits at least 25 feet.

The user’s reflexes and speed are empowered while using the Hikari no Yoroi, but get no defensive bonuses.

For five seconds after that, she is able to return to the marker created at her initial position. [b]Weakness:[/b] Interpret it yourself.

She will strike the first physical object encountered (but can choose should she encounter multiple at once) and will consume the halo of light behind her, creating a massive blast of kinetic energy. The energy can strike from any direction, but it is always in the vague shape of a massive sword (and can be seen faintly as traces of light remain). The power of the strike is extremely high, and unprotected targets will almost definitely find themselves bisected. [b]Weakness:[/b] Interpret it yourself.

This renders them completely unable to move, but does not affect the internal use of kinetic energy e.g. the beating of the heart. This uses the Hikari no Hagai at a constant rate, sacrificing one wing for every three seconds she keeps the opponent still. Akaritori cannot move for the duration of the technique.

Immense cracks appear through the earth, seeping searing hot golden light, guided by Akaritori’s will. After a second, all of the cracks form, and the earth within a 20 foot radius circle is cracked and splintered, and then completely uprooted, sending shards of earth flying in every direction. There is a small circle around Akaritori in which the earth is not broken, and she is spared from harm. After two seconds, an explosion of light is created in the initial area that deals moderate damage to all enemies within. [b]Weakness:[/b] Interpret it yourself.

The cocoon will expend its energy in order to repel attacks by opposing them with equal kinetic energy, and anybody who comes within five feet of the cocoon will be rapidly burned, getting third degree burns if they stay for more than two seconds. Akaritori or the target cannot move while in the Burning Cocoon, and enemies cannot be damaged by any of Akaritori’s jutsu or attacks. [b]Weakness:[/b] Interpret it yourself.

For the next two minutes, Akaritori’s assumes the form of an elemental, replacing her physical form with pure light, increasing the power of her techniques greatly but simultaneously removing her ability to use all of her previous techniques except Shukuchi and Asaborake no Shihō. While ascended, Akaritori is immune to physical damage (from weapons and elemental ninjutsu, etc.), but is more vulnerable to techniques that disrupt chakra and such, and she is no longer gated by use of her wings of light. Her light-based techniques are roughly twice as damaging, and she is able to perform incredible feats of movement, such as being able to run on any solid surface due to her weightlessness. Akaritori’s speed increases dramatically in this form, but she is unable to deal physical damage of any kind. [b]Weakness:[/b] Interpret it yourself.

Over the course of ten seconds, the sword gathers energy and becomes increasingly volatile, until it explodes in a massive burst of burning light after ten seconds. At any point before this explosion, somebody can remove the sword from the ground, causing a smaller explosion proportionate to the amount of time it took to remove the sword from the ground. Up to four of these swords can be created at once, with a maximum of sixteen during her ascension. The minimum explosion radius is twenty feet. The maximum explosion radius is forty feet. The forty feet explosion is three times as powerful as the twenty feet explosion. [b]Weakness:[/b] Interpret it yourself.

She can keep the targets bound for a maximum of thirty seconds, but not while they are within forty feet of a sword created by Kawabe Kasō. If used on a single target, the technique changes to be more offensive, not only restraining their movement but exerting incredible pressure upon them that threatens to crush them if they are not physically strong enough to resist. The restraints in this version of the technique are less powerful, however, and can be broken with an extreme display of force. Akaritori cannot move while maintaining this technique.

The Tengoku no Shidō - Chi ni Teikyō allow Shikon to sense the location of an opponent’s tenketsu by allowing him to sense the spiritual energy flowing through people’s bodies within their chakra system (effectively granting him vision of their chakra system, but not of effects such as genjutsu that one with the Byakugan could sense). Shikon is able to invoke the power of the beads in order to guide Hitodama into a shell of chakra, creating a form of spiritual armour that covers him and grants him access to specific abilities relating to the entity his armour is aspected towards. In addition to these effects, the Tengoku no Shidō - Chi ni Teikyō acts as a magnet towards any Hitodama within a mile of the beads, allowing Shikon to either purify them and send them to the pure world, or (with their consent) add them to his shell of chakra aspected to the Four. Whenever an individual within a mile of Shikon dies, he is able to convert their soul into a Hitodama if they are willing. [b]Appearance:[/b] See initial picture.

The first gift bestowed by the Kāidǎo is the ability to create small, temporary gates to the Jōdo. Users of the technique can enter the Jōdo themselves through these gates in order to communicate, or can temporarily draw spirits out of the Jōdo in order to communicate with them. The second gift bestowed by the Kāidǎo is a unique spiritual insight, allowing them to sense the soul and spiritual energy of individuals. Bearers of the Kāidǎo are typically fantastic sensor ninja due to this ability. Through this gift, the bearers of the Kāidǎo can also sense Hitodama. The final gift bestowed by the Kāidǎo is the ability to astrally project, separating the spirit from the body and sending it to other locations.

While bound, at least part of one foot must remain firmly on the ground at all times, and any additional force exerted trying to overcome the seal is applied to the muscles in the legs. This effect does not cause a great deal of strain initially, but will increase as additional Genbu-aspected Hitodama within the opponent increase. The seal lasts for as long as there is another Genbu-aspected Hitodama within the target. [b]Weakness:[/b] Interpret it yourself.

Shikon becomes completely infused with earth, immune to all physical damage and all non-Raiton elemental damage, and other chakra-based techniques are 99% less effective against him. Dōtai ni Tenchi lasts for up to sixty seconds, but Shikon cannot move more than two steps in any direction from the location that the technique is activated from without ending it. Shikon can instead grant this effect to an ally, making them unable to move without ending the technique but affording them identical protection.

His next melee strike will coalesce the Hitodama into a spiritual seal that draws surrounding spiritual energy, and thus chakra, into it. Enemies afflicted by this seal cannot use techniques above two ranks below their highest ranked technique (If the target has an S Rank technique, they can only use B or lower ranked techniques) for the duration of the seal. The Hitodama will return to Shikon after two minutes, dispersing the seal. If Shikon changes stance, the seal dissipates. [b]Weakness:[/b] Interpret it yourself.

Shikon channels wind into a thirty foot radius circle around him, preventing all passage into or out of the circle, and can move at exceptional speeds within the circle. The circle lasts for ten seconds, and each second he gains a stack of Byakko’s Wrath.

Shiken has a different effect for each of Shikon’s four stances. [color=crimson][i]Suzaku – Strong Fist; Katon[/i][/color] Shiken engulfs Shikon in spiritually pure fire, causing his Taijutsu attacks to burn through chakra-based defences and purify bodies of spiritual energy that they encounter, cleaving chakra of abnormal compositions into physical energy and pure spiritual energy (which can only be used to perform spiritual techniques). Hitting an opponent with the Suzaku-aspected Shiken removes the effects of the Seiryu-aspected Shiken. [color=00aeef][i]Seiryu – Gentle Fist; Hyouton[/i][/color] Shiken coats Shikon in a wreath of frost-aspected spiritual energy, causing his Juuken to freeze the chakra within the internal chakra system that they strike. Each tenketsu hit by Shikon while using a Seiryu-aspected Shiken will completely freeze over the course of thirty seconds, preventing passage of chakra and blood through the area. Hitting an opponent with the Seiryu-aspected Shiken removes the effects of the Suzaku-aspected Shiken. [color=00a651][i]Genbu – Strong Fist; Doton[/i][/color] Shiken infuses Shikon’s body with pure Doton chakra, massively increasing his resistance to physical attacks and rendering him immune to all non-Raiton elemental damage. His Strong Fist carries incredible weight while using the Genbu-aspected Shiken, essentially doubling his physical power. Hitting an opponent with the Genbu-aspected Shiken removes the effects of the Byakko-aspected Shiken. [color=white]Byakko – Gentle Fist; Fuuton[/color] Shiken coats Shikon in an aura of fierce wind, increasing the range of his reitaijutsu techniques to ten feet rather than melee. Reitaijutsu techniques become Byakko-aspected, causing them to sever the spirit from the body should they hit tenketsu. If Shikon can attack all 361 tenketsu while using a Byakko-aspected Shiken, he can completely separate his opponent’s spirit from their body. [b]Weakness:[/b] Interpret it yourself.

Shikon is able to use the Hitodama as a reference point, summoning himself to its location and returning the Hitodama to his possession. As the Hitodama is a spirit, blood does not need to be shed to achieve the conditions of the summoning contract. Shikon cannot use Reiho more than once every fifteen seconds. [b]Weakness:[/b] Interpret it yourself. [b]Name of Technique:[/b] Shokei Shimasu [Execute] [b]Type of Jutsu:[/b] Ninjutsu [b]Rank:[/b] B [b]Range:[/b] Melee [Touch] [b]Nature Type:[/b] N/A [b]Handseals:[/b] N/A [b]Description:[/b] More of a style than an actual jutsu, the Shokei Shimasu uses physical blows with an opponent to accomplish a few effects. By thrusting his own chakra in a jab once he has hit someone, he can push an equal amount of chakra out at the point he strikes (but cannot exceed the amount that could occur there - IE Blows to chakra centres are potentially more serious). The benefit of this technique is that Shikon is able to combine it with other techniques to create a potent mix of effects. The second effect of this technique is Shikon being able to 'explode' his chakra. Once inserted into a physical object, the chakra is converted into physical force and moves outwards from where it is. However, the Shokei Shimasu requires the secondary effect to be initiated nearly immediately (unless the person has very poor chakra control and/or a small pool) before the chakra is overwhelmed. The Shokei Shimasu requires a direct exchange of power for it to work. It cannot transfer its power to anything but direct contact from a source of power to the new medium. So, while someone could use the Shokei Shimasu to fire an arrow and have it create a crater from the force of the blow, it could not then be transferred to another person. Shikon cannot convert chakra to force inside of someone else's body. [b]Weakness:[/b] Interpret it yourself.[/COLOR][/center][/hider]
