[B][U]Rank:[/U][/B] Jounin.
[B][U]Chakra Nature:[/U][/B] Earth and fire.

[I][U]Additional Appearance Details:[/U][/I] Beneath his earthy brown cloak he wears [url=http://oi60.tinypic.com/9k88et.jpg]this garb[/url], consisting of normal leather armor and the tools of the typical shinobi.

[B][U]Personality:[/U][/B] A man who picks his words carefully, Shijima is a quiet and somewhat reclusive individual who knows his place in the world and what he wants to do while he is in it. Having no delusions of grandeur or the like, Shijima is a realist who looks at the solid facts and tends to weigh opportunities, relationships, choices, and people to ascertain the likelihood of the beneficial nature of such things. He is brutally honest, making no attempt at niceties most of the time, so much so that many consider him without tact, which is not far from the truth.

Finding himself uncomfortable in large crowds, Shijima has taken to keeping very little company, causing him to possess oh so few friendships, or otherwise relations with other people. However, while he is certainly reclusive, he is not truly eccentric, as some people believe. Beyond this there is not very much to know about Shijima other than that he always keeps a cool head, no matter the situation. Lastly he is a fairly wise man, having learned much throughout his years of combat and otherwise social interactions, for they were once more common in his life.

[B][U]History:[/U][/B] Having been born to a family of humble farmers, Shijima has been a black sheep since he could remember. Starting out as a rather quite child, Shijima worked as the rest of his family did, tilling the fields and tending the animals of their small outpost in the wilderness of the Land of Earth. So it came as quite the surprise when one day the son of two farmers decided to leave home and head for Iwagakure to enroll in the shinobi academy for training.

There was harsh resistance from his mother, but his father, having been a young boy with dreams once, allowed it and so his son was sent off. Still, behind his back Shijima's father scoffed, estimating that the boy would be back come next year.

He was wrong, Shijima never returned and never once did he fail to practice and do as he was told...and beyond. However, his methods were never the same as his peers. During their break time he would climb a tree far from the others, or hide somewhere to be left alone, disliking all the noise and hustle-bustle of his classmates. Every so often the girls would take an interest in his odd quietness and would play with him, but it never lasted. Eventually they found out that he was rather boring, or thought him dull in his antisocial ways, though he was the exact opposite of such.

So it was in his early years that jealousy formed in the hearts of the other children, for Shijima always came out on top and they never seemed all to able to get back at him for it. He was weird, he was the outcast, and while most began to think his skills natural talent, such was not the case. He studied near endlessly, learning early to hide his materials and himself from those who ought to cause him harm or hinder him.

Continuing his studies, Shijima eventually graduated from the academy, becoming a genin and being put into a team with two of his classmates, Unura and Hisui. Together the three learned to work as a cohesive unit and Shijima learned of his earth and fire affinities. It was under the tutelage of Ametsuchi, Nasuro and alongside his classmates that he began to develop what would later become his infamous fighting style.

[B][U]Special Traits[/U][/B]

[I]Unique fighting style:[/I] Shijima's fighting style is a mixture between taijutsu and ninjutsu, giving him a reliable and dangerous repertoire of abilities. In combat he mixes his extensive knowledge of taijutsu and masterful use of ninjutsu to both maneuver and manipulate the battlefield with ease. His mastery of earth-based ninjutsu and his unique senjutsu technique, Kikan wa – Chijō no Kyōmei, allows him to defend, attack, and counter with deadly efficiency. This coupled with his skill in taijutsu makes him a frightening combatant despite his fairly peaceful nature.

[I]Potent chakra:[/I] While Shijima only has the chakra stores of your average jounin of his rank, his is a fair amount more potent than your average individual. The reason for this is due to his continued use of natural energy, particularly his moulding of it with his own chakra, causing the two to mix more and more over the years. As such, Shijima has ended up with more potent chakra, allowing him to execute jutsu of greater rank with slightly less chakra then the average individual. Nonetheless, due to the nature of his techniques, he tends to use roughly the same amount of chakra in combat, and thus tires at around the same rate as others.

[B]Custom Jutsu[/B]

[B]Name of Technique:[/B] Kikan wa - Chijō no kyōmei ([I]馈还轮 - 地上の共鳴[/I] 'Feedback Loop – Earthly Resonance').
[B]Type of Jutsu:[/B] Ninjutsu, Senjutsu.
[B]Rank:[/B] S.
[B]Range:[/B] 80 Meters max.
[B]Nature Type:[/B] Earth, Natural Energy.
[B]Handseals:[/B] 23.
[B]Description:[/B] Preforming 23 handseals while his body is in contact with the ground, breathing calmly as he does so, Shijima will channel continual pulses of chakra into the ground through his feet, or whatever part of his body is in contact with the ground at the time. Shijima does not however lose control of this chakra once it exits his form, instead, utilizing seals on his hands and feet, he retains complete control of this chakra to the extent that he can almost ignore how far away from him it gets. After three seconds of this, the chakra wavelengths that had been emitted will begin to be pulled back towards his body and as they are the chakra, which has been programmed to do so, will pull natural energy from the ground back into his body. The moment the chakra enters his body and cycles through his chakra system once, it is immediately released back into the ground. This process continues, creating a natural feedback loop which gathers more and more chakra into the ground, chakra which has been mixed with Shijima's.

This process, taking roughly 15-20 seconds facilitates the majority of Shijima's abilities as it allows him to freely manipulate any rock, earth, metal, or the like that has been infused with his chakra and the natural energy that is mixed with it. It should be noted that as long as Shijima remains stationary, or whenever he becomes stationary for any time exceeding 8 seconds the process repeats. This means that should he remain in the same place in a different location, regardless to whether or not it overlaps with the ground that he already infused with chakra, the ground will be infused with his chakra allowing it to be manipulated as well as long as it is within his maximum range of control. At any given point that he is stationary for roughly 10 seconds, additional earth, stone, metal, or other such materials that he is in contact with will be infused with his chakra via the same method. The rock or material that this process is applied to repeatedly will become increasingly sturdy as more chakra is packed into it.

[B]Weakness:[/B] One cycle takes roughly 10 seconds to be complete, a single cycling of energies will infuse roughly 17 or so meters horizontally and 20 vertically and diagonally in between. If standing for 20 seconds a horizontal area of 35 meters will be covered, with 38 vertical and diagonal meters being infused. The longer he stands the more area is infused, with the maximum being 80 meters horizontally and 83 meters vertically and diagonally. One cycle takes roughly 15 percent of his chakra and it would thus take a total of 60 percent of his chakra to infuse the maximum amount of space.

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

[B]Name of Technique:[/B] Niku to ishi - chijō no karada dōchō ([I]肉と石 - 地上の体调同[/I] 'Flesh and Stone – Alignment of Earthly Bodies').
[B]Type of Jutsu:[/B] Ninjutsu; Taijutsu; Sensory ninjutsu.
[B]Rank:[/B] C-A.
[B]Range:[/B] N/A.
[B]Nature Type:[/B] Earth.
[B]Handseals:[/B] 6.
[B]Description:[/B] This technique can only be used of this user has exchanged chakra with the stone that he wishes to manipulate. Thus, this technique is typically only available to Shijima after he has utilized Kikan wa - Chijō no kyōmei. Niku to ishi allows the user to manipulate any earthen material that has been infused with the user's chakra in part. Once that has been done the technique is executed by simply preforming 6 handseals after which point all chakra infused earth is synchronized with the user's consciousness and physical movements. This allows them to guide the stone and/or soil with their mind and movements both. Additionally, it should be noted that as long as some part of the user's body retains physical contact with the ground they can manipulate and sense through the earth. This means contact with the ground will be noted by the individual as it sends vibrations throughout which reach the user and notify them of the entity's position. The user also releases vibrational shockwaves into the ground by making contact with it, thus allowing them to sense through these vibrations running through, or being interfered with by, other objects and beings.

[B]Weakness:[/B] This technique takes no further chakra to utilize, but does require intense focus and concentration. The individual must retain some form of contact with the ground for this to remain functional, though it does not need to be reactivated every time the user loses contact with the ground. It should be noted that the physical movements will take energy from the user as per normal and the chakra that has been infused with the ground will not last forever, though it may last for a fairly long time, depending on how long the precursor technique is utilized.

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

[B]Name of Technique:[/B] Chijō no kyōmei - Shōsū no sen'yaku ([I]地上の共鳴 - 少数の煎薬[/I] 'Earthly Resonance – Minor Infusion').
[B]Type of Jutsu:[/B] Ninjutsu.
[B]Rank:[/B] C-B.
[B]Range:[/B] Contact.
[B]Nature Type:[/B] Fire and/or Earth.
[B]Handseals:[/B] 3.
[B]Description:[/B] Utilizing a similar process to its namesake, Chijō no kyōmei - Shōsū no sen'yaku works through the use of the initial handseals and contact with the object, or entity, that the process is intended to be applied to. This technique's initial purpose is to allow Shijima to infuse objects he comes into contact with, be they his or otherwise, thus allowing him to influence them by manipulating the chakra therein. This ability is can be either detrimental or beneficial to the object(s) in question depending on Shijima's intention. Should he intend the action to be beneficial, the object will become sturdier and perhaps even more effective, depending on its purpose and traits. For example, a blade might become sharper and more durable.

If Shijima instead holds ill intent for the object(s) in question, he can infuse them with his chakra, affinity or otherwise, and influence them from afar. He could utilize his fire affinity to heat objects rapidly, making them increasingly difficult to wield over time. Or he could decrease their structural integrity by causing erratic chakratic movements within the object, thus weakening structure through a multitude of collisions within the object.

[B]Weakness:[/B] This technique not only requires direct contact with the objects that the user wishes to influence but also requires the contact to last at least two or more seconds. If the object is larger than a long sword than it will require more than the aforementioned time. This technique cannot be applied to living things, though clothing is not out of the question. Shoul Shijima attempt to use this on something living, it will instead give them chakra, though it will cause brief pain in the effected area.

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

[B]Name of Technique:[/B] Kutsugaesu([I]覆す[/I] 'To Undermine').
[B]Type of Jutsu:[/B] Ninjutsu.
[B]Rank:[/B] C.
[B]Range:[/B] Contact.
[B]Nature Type:[/B] Fire and/or Earth.
[B]Handseals:[/B] 0.
[B]Description:[/B] By infusing earthen materials with his fire affinity, or simply manipulating them with his earth affinity, Shijima is capable of undermining their stability, or the status of their temperature. Thus he is capable of destabilizing these materials and/or increasing their heat. Depending on the circumstances, these traits will be mutually exclusive, at least when it comes to this jutsu. Through the use of this technique, Shijima can both destroy other techniques, or he can reinforce their damage output via the heat he can bestow. This technique also allows him to sap and transfer the heat of materials or objects infused with his chakra. In this way he can cool objects down by transferring heat between mediums.

[B]Weakness:[/B] Requires that the user has either infused the material with chakra beforehand, or makes contact with the material. Materials can transmit his chakra as long as they retain contact for 2-4 seconds depending on circumstances. Can be nullified via the use of water affinity chakra channeled through the material.

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

[B]Name of Technique:[/B] Hi no zokuhen ([I]火の続編[/I] 'Fire's prequel').
[B]Type of Jutsu:[/B] Ninjutsu and Minor Sensory Technique.
[B]Rank:[/B] D.
[B]Range:[/B] Maximum of 10 meters.
[B]Nature Type:[/B] Fire.
[B]Handseals:[/B] 6.
[B]Description:[/B] Building fire affinity chakra within his body, Shijima allows the chakra to heat the surface of his flesh, which he has reinforced with chakra so as not to damage himself. After roughly 3 seconds his skin will feel feverish in its temperature and the heat will slow its ascent. After an additional 8 seconds the technique's true purpose will activate, releasing the stored heat from his body into the surrounding area. This heat is not enough to cause pain or damage, but is enough to be uncomfortable to most. The area in which the heat resides is lightly infused with Shijima's chakra, which blends with the surrounding natural energy. This allows Shijima to sense disturbances in this field of heat, but serves little purpose beyond that on its lonesome. It should be noted that Shijima can choose not to release the heat from his body, and can instead transfer it through the use of other techniques. The chakra of this technique can also be infused into areas already effected by Kikan wa – Chijō no Kyōmei.

[B]Weakness:[/B] Has no real application on its lonesome and the sensory advantage is not all that considerable.

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

[B]Name of Technique:[/B] Honō tenka([I]炎点火[/I] 'Blaze Ignition').
[B]Type of Jutsu:[/B] Ninjutsu.
[B]Rank:[/B] C-A.
[B]Range:[/B] Maximum of 10 meters.
[B]Nature Type:[/B] Fire.
[B]Handseals:[/B] 3-8.
[B]Description:[/B] Once Hi no zokuhen has been utilized, Shijima may activate this technique, allowing him to gather the thermal energy with his diffused fire affinity chakra after which point he an ignite it. This allows him to suddenly and rapidly create fires of intensities equal to techniques between C and A ranks.

[B]Weakness:[/B] This technique cannot be utilized outside an area that Hi no zokuhen has influenced. It also has natural affinity weaknesses and strengths.

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

[B]Name of Technique:[/B] Chijō no kyōmei – Kōkai shindō ([I]地上の共鳴 - 更改震動[/I] 'Earthly Resonance – Renewal tremors').
[B]Type of Jutsu:[/B] Ninjutsu.
[B]Rank:[/B] C-B.
[B]Range:[/B] 5-8 meters or less.
[B]Nature Type:[/B] Earth.
[B]Handseals:[/B] 3.
[B]Description:[/B] Utilizing a similar principle to Kikan wa - Chijō no kyōmei, Shijima pulls a small amount of natural energy into his body through the ground, mixing it with the chakra in his body, after which he expels it in any given direction to quickly and efficiently take control of earthen materials within direct or indirect contact with his body. This is achieved through forcing this moulded chakra into the ground in the same manner as Kikan wa, but instead doing so quickly, within a much smaller area, or in a specific direction. This chakra can be expelled at a slower rate in order to facilitate continual control over different areas as Shijima moves. It should be noted that while the majority of the chakra used in this technique is lost, remaining infused in the effected rock or otherwise material, around 15% of it returns with each use in the form of natural energy. This is due to the similarities between this technique and Kikan wa. It should be noted that considerably less chakra is utilized when 
less ground is infused.

[B]Weakness:[/B] Fairly small range in comparison to Kikan wa. The technique is much lower in power and the chakra can be somewhat disrupted through the use of the lightning affinity through the effected area(s).[/hider]
