[I][U]Gender:[/U][/I] Male. [B][U]Age:[/U][/B] Unknown. [I][U]Age Appearance:[/U][/I] Unknown. [I][U]Sexuality:[/U][/I] Heterosexual. [I][U]Birthplace:[/U][/I] [I]--Expunged from all records.[/I] [B][U]Organization:[/U][/B] Kumogakure and the Antare clan. [B][U]Clan/Kekkei Genkai:[/U][/B] Unknown/[I]Tukkumu shijun.[/I] [color=#303030]Zoukasari/Fuen Ametsuchi.[/color] [B][U]Rank:[/U][/B] S Rank. [U][I]Position:[/I][/U] Nidaime Raikage. [B][U]Chakra Nature:[/U][/B] Lightning. [color=#303030]Onmyouton.[/color] [I][U]Additional Appearance Details:[/U][/I] Standing at 6'8 and weighing slightly below average for his height, Genmyou almost constantly wears a gray unadorned mask with no mouth or nose holes. There only remain thin slits for his eyes and the village's symbol on the forehead. Genmyou's true is one of the village's mysteries, with not even his closest allies having ever seen him without his mask, hood, and cloak. [B][U]History:[/U][/B] [I]--All information regarding Genmyou's origins going past his life as a young man have been expunged from all known records. As such, the following is all that remains recorded of Genmyou's origins--[/I] [indent]...he faded back into the larger scope of the world and was at first a kind of mercenary nin. He travelled and exchanged knowledge and living expenses for any task he was assigned. As he did this he was able to acquire a rather sufficient sum of intel on various jutsu, clans, and rumors of the time. He continued to expand his knowledge and skill set until he struck gold. He heard a rumor about a clan based in Kumogakure, this was the first time he had heard of the so called Antare Clan. With a background such as his, it was hard for him to pass up and so he began to travel to cross the continent and reach the Antare clan's base of operations. At the time he did not know many, if any, of the secrets regarding the clan, but he did know they were allegedly the only rivals in fuinjutsu to the uzumaki clan. It took him a year or two of travel, due to many stops, missions, and such on the way but he eventually reached the country of lightning. Seeming rather suspicious due to his garb, as even at that time he possessed what shinobi see him in today, he was eventually spotted by one of the Antare clan's outposts and watched closely there after. As his renown grew, Genmyou eventually became known as 'The Shade of Clarity'. This title was blatantly ironic due to the unknown nature of his appearance and the difficulty that it was to track him and figure out his exact actions in combat. Regardless to this he began to be a nuisance when his missions began to conflict with nin from Kumogakure causing the shinobi assigned to come back empty handed or the like. Assassination attempts were made, but they could never track him down, and when they did they were met with clever non-fatal traps. Finally the aged raikage of the time requested the assistance of the Antare clan, the accepted, having been watching as a neutral part for some time. They were easily able to corner 'The Shade of Clarity' but they too found themselves in a difficult situation. Even mid battle he was able to figure out who they were and who had sent them. They soon found themselves outclassed in a very unique fashion, and with words and defensive tactics alone the 3 Antare clan members found themselves in such a disadvantage that they were grateful when The Shade offered them an arrangement. An envoy sent back to the raikage and another to the elders of the Antare clan, Genmyou successfully got his message across. Though the raikage seemed rather threatened and more than a little worried about allowing this 'shade' free reign he did so with the advice of the Antare in mind. The Antare clan elders on the other hand were not as relenting and so instead of simply allowing him into their ranks, an unknown variable as he was, they commissioned him for a series of missions while they attempted to retrieve intel on the shade's origins. They drew a blank, finding only sparse information of his travels and various mercenary exploits, nothing of any solid consequence...Shade of Clarity indeed. After several months of the grueling missions Genmyou began to grow ever more impatient and with perfect timing, as it was intentional the Antare allowed him entrance. In the years following it became known that Genmyou had been officially adopted into the country of lightning's social ranks and was around jounin rank. Years passed, he studied, trained, combatted, completed missions for Kumogakure, and then when he felt he had learned as much as was immediately useful to him from the Antare, he departed. Traveling to [I]-data expunged-[/I] Genmyou disappeared for almost a decade. Strangely every two weeks a mission would end up completed to the fullest and so it was thought that Genmyou had completed these, which he had. When he finally emerged from his recluse, Genmyou returned a changed man, a better man, and a stronger shinobi. He felt no need to test himself against the lesser nin of the jounin rank and he proceeded straight to the death bed of the to-be late raikage. Genmyou looked the man straight in the eyes, and the raikage commanded the two be left alone. No complaints were made, a mask was removed, a promise made, an identity remained hidden to all but one. The Raikage died only a year later and upon his death, his will was revealed, Genmyou - The Shade of Clarity, was to be named the second Raikage. Some of the village elders were disgruntled, but they were silenced by the will of the people and the guidance of the Antare clan. All was well, Genmyou became the kage of Kumogakure and has been as such for 10 years now. His age is unknown, his true appearance hidden, his identity null, and his skill renowned throughout. He is a man to fear, to trust, to avoid, to approach, he is all of these things, but above all else he is a efficient leader and an elusive enigma.[/Indent] [B][U]Personality:[/U][/B] Genmyou is versatile in all activities he takes part in, this traits stands out. His versatility is mixed just as much with the air of intrigue that seems to surround him as a person. He is secretive, intelligent, serious, but not without humor. To him matters of the village, of battle, and anything remotely regarding his past are things to be given attention and a calm mindset above all others. In this way he is protective in his own way, seeming to have a kind of endearment to Kumogakure. Generally he tends to be fairly good-natured, and though he can sometimes be caught up the affairs of his village, he is never truly stressed. It has often been commented, and admired, that despite Genmyou's air of mystery and his rather plentiful responsibilities he never seems overwhelmed or burdened. In this way he is considered charismatic and sometimes even tends to use this trait to his advantage. This charisma also carries over to one of his rather well known mannerisms, corrections and wisdom. Essentially, Genmyou gets a kick out of messing with his adversary's mind while in battle without the use of genjutsu. This reveals another trait of his for while he is not devious, he is exceptionally crafty in both a social environment and on the battlefield. He is loyal to those he makes his allies, but not to the point of blindness. He is the kind of man who will do what he must even if he knows others may not like it. When brought down to the bare essentials he is a survivalist, a former nomad, and a scholar. Genmyou has an avid love for knowledge and in his free time he finds it extremely rewarding and enjoyable to read, exchange knowledge, or even get into a philosophical discussion or two. In another light, Genmyou enjoys debate and conversation, but he seems to shy away from arguments. When put into a situation where a verbal exchange of negative theme is involved he tends to act as a mediator or he will simply remove himself from the situation until the participants are willing to discuss the issue(s) reasonably. This shows that Genmyou is indeed a very calm individual with an incredibly high tolerance for so called 'bullshit' as it were. [Url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVbuGYNhQAY]Theme:[/url] Two Steps From Hell - Mystical Beginnings[/hider] [hider=Equipment] [B][U]Base Weapons & Items:[/U][/B] X explosive tags. X smoke bombs. X kunai X shuriken X wire X chakra reactive tags (blank). 10 Barrier rods. [I][U]Foot Note:[/U][/I] His scrolls and tags react specifically to his chakra and the chakra effectively acts like ink. [B][U]Specialized Weapons & Items:[/U][/B] [B]Name of Item:[/B] Chōkin kōgu([sub]彫金工具[/sub] [I]'Engraving Tool'[/i]) [B]Description:[/B] A tool designed by Genmyou and members of the Antare clan, this pen-like tool works by transmuting chakra into a sort of [i]ink[/i], which can be directly inscribed upon specialized sealing paper. However, what makes the Chōkin kōgu a truly unique tool is the fact that it imbues chakra into the seal as it is created. As such, the more skilled the fuinjutsu practitioner and the more complex the seal, the more charge the seal will have. This is not the only boon to its use though as the [i]pen[/i] does not just imbue chakra into the sealing paper, but actually engraves [i]empty space[/i] that chakra is compelled to fill. This essentially means that, left alone, any seal created with this tool will draw chakra from its environment to fuel itself. Additionally, due to the multitude of fuinjutsu used in its creation and the specialized ones applied by Genmyou himself, it renders the kage immune to the effects of the seals constructed in this manner unless exceptions are written into those very seals. This is due to the fact that the pen, and its [i]ink[/i] are designed to react uniquely to Genmyou's chakra meaning that if stolen, the device will not work in the hands of another and neither will the seals. [B][url=http://www.ciar-roisin.net/photos/jp/SterlingVermeil-02.jpg]Appearance[/url][/B] ==================== [B]Name of Item:[/B] Kinko([sub]金庫[/sub] [I]'Repository'[/i]). [B]Description:[/B] A special tome with the thickness of a single piece of paper, the Kinko is carried on Genmyou's person at all times. The tome is possible by way of space-time ninjutsu, effectively allowing it to have hundreds upon hundreds of pages without ever becoming larger or heavier as the pages are not stored within the book in a traditional fashion. This also means, that to access any given piece of information, an individual must have exceptional chakra control, and know the proper chakratic [i]codes[/i] to input so as to find particular pages. While the book does have an index, it is encrypted in a code that very few understand. Genmyou teaches this code only to those he trusts most...and he is very picky about whom he trusts. This also means that burning the book, or any similar copies, in a person's possession will not actually destroy the rest of its pages, excluding the index. The knowledge connected to these books is thought to be stored somewhere deep in the mountain upon which Kumogakure sits. Genmyou typically keeps the Kinko folded up on his person. ==================== [B]Name of Item:[/B] Inshō-shi([sub]印象紙[/sub] [I]'Impression paper'[/i]). [B]Description:[/B] Paper specialized for applying seals, Inshō-shi is designed to be exceptionally good at absorbing chakra. This makes it the ideal medium for the Chōkin kōgu, but also means it can be a useful tool in...other ways. The paper, while not fireproof, is capable of withstanding about the same heat as a human body without setting on fire, and is treated so that liquids simply fall off of it rather than adhering or being absorbed by its surface. ==================== [B]Name of Item:[/B] Chakra Conductive Gauntlets. [B]Description:[/B] Though really not all that difficult to craft, Genmyou wears streamlined gauntlets on both hands which effectively ease the process of the fuin furidashi slightly. The gauntlets do this by reacting to his chakra when he channels it to his hands and forming a small field of condensed aura around his hands in order to conduct his jutsu. This can also assist with some of his raiton techniques and are very useful. Due to being gauntlets these can also be used to claw, since the fingers are rather sharp, as well as to block some blade attacks. He cannot use these to catch blades due to the fact that only the outsides of the gauntlets are metal while the insides -meaning palm and finger bottoms- are made of a softer material which also lines the metals on the top of the gauntlets. ==================== [B]Name of Weapon:[/B] Seigennashi no ei([sub]制限なしの英[/sub] [I]'Blade of the Unrestricted'[/I]). [B]Description:[/B] Often within its figurative sheath and hidden on his person, this blade is 4.5 feet long, weighing in at roughly 130 lbs to anyone attempting to wield it aside from Genmyou. Rather than the weapon being in a true sheath, it is sealed utilizing a modified generic seal, within the strap that would normally hold the weapon at his back. Regardless to this, Seigennashi no ei is a very unique weapon for it does not possess an affinity ability or some such foolishness. Instead, this weapon of unknown origin, is a blank slate for any kind of chakra that is channeled through it. This means that it can channel and carry any manner of jutsu within itself. This means that it seems to merely be an incredibly advanced chakra conductor. While this is true, the weapon is unique in that it can actually store techniques, which are channeled through it. However, it is limited to seven jutsu at any given time. Beyond this, the weapon, once attuned to its wielder, is rendered effectively weightless. Despite the efforts of many blade craftsman, chakra scholars, and fuinjutsu masters the cause of this effect remains out of reach and thus out of mind making it an enigmatic blade fit to its similarly mysterious wielder. ==================== [B]Name of Item:[/B] Gen'ei no konryuu([sub]幻影の袞龍[/sub] [I]'Phantom's imperial robes'[/I]). [B]Description:[/B] Worn in every waking moment of Genmyou's life, this clothing is his normal attire. Despite the use of the word [I]normal[/I] this garb is nothing of the sort. It is fire retardant, heat repelling, waterproof, and is durable to ridiculous levels. Strangely, the cloth never seems to take damage, even if Genmyou does, this leads one to believe that damage is transfered through the cloth but never actually damages it. This is true and is the work of fuuinjutsu being weaved in patterns onto the inside and outside of the robes. Additionally, the Gen'ei no konryou are conductive allowing him to conduct his 'raiton' techniques or pure chakra through them. The last notable property of this garb is its properties of concealment. Namely the robe distorts his chakra to the senses of doujutsu and sensor nin. This effectively means that unless the sensor nin is incredibly adept and has prime focus, they will receive a headache and be smoothly redirected around his location. Possessors of doujutsu have a hard time looking upon him as well, but are otherwise unaffected. Sharinga and Rinnegan are unaffected, whereas the Byakugan is effectively useless against it.[/hider] [hider=Combat Data][B][U]Special Traits[/U][/B] Genmyou is no normal individual and as such his chakra is incredibly unique. Not only is he incredibly difficult to sense even with doujutsu, his chakra's unique state tends to give sensory nin a headache and as such they tend to have a lot of trouble pinpointing his position. Additionally where his normal chakra openings would be, there are actually 3. His body seems capable of releasing chakra from many different places in comparison to a normal individual. Genmyou also appears to have a rather high chakra level in addition to being able to use shape manipulation much quicker than most. It should be noted that Genmyou is immune to his own lightning affinity (he can channel it through his body without being harmed) and that lightning jutsu of C rank or below will not cause him harm. Last of all he appears to be especially durable and is very quick on his feet. It should be taken into mind that Genmyou's specialties are firstly in fuinjutsu, secondly in kenjutsu(with a proficiency in defensive taijutsu), and thirdly in ninjutsu. [B]Name of Kekkei Genkai:[/B] Tukkumu shijun([sub]突っ組む至純[/sub] [I]'To strive for Absolute purity'[/I]). [color=#303030]Fuen Ametsuchi([sub]敷衍 天地[/sub] [I]'Amplification of Heaven and Earth'[/I])[/color] [B]Clan:[/B] Unknown. [color=#303030]Zoukasari.[/color] [B]Description:[/B] Appearing to modify any natural affinities that the inheritor possesses, but this is not it's sole capability. This kekkei genkai, known as Tukkumu shijun, appears to allow Genmyou advanced control over essentially all of his chakra's aspects. This has apparently altered his natural affinity as well as allowing him, due to extended research and training, to utilize 'pure' chakra. Due to his skill in fuuinjutsu he is capable of effectively programming this purified energy form with purpose utilizing seals and the like. His control over his chakra system is so great that he can willingly pure, fluctuate, speed up, or slow down the flow of chakra within his body to his will. ========================================= [B][U]Techniques:[/U][/B] [B]Canon Jutsu[/B] [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Enclosing_Technique]Fūnyū no Jutsu(Enclosing Technique)[/url] [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Five_Elements_Seal]Gogyo Fuin(Five Elements Seal)[/url] [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Five_Elements_Unseal]Gogyo Kaiin(Five Elements Unseal)[/url] [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Sealing_Technique:_Lion_Closing_Roar]Fūinjutsu: Shishi Heikō(Sealing Technique: Lion Closing Roar)[/url] [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Finger_Carving_Seal]Shikoku Fūin(Finger Carving Seal)[/url] [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Reverse_Four_Symbols_Sealing_Technique]Ura Shishō Fūin(Reverse Four Symbols Sealing)[/url] [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Soul_Detachment_Technique]Konshin Betsuri no Jutsu(Soul Detachment Technique)[/url] [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Barrier_Gate_Five_Seals_Technique:_Castle_Closing_Eight_Gates]Kekkaimon Gofūjutsu: Hachimon Heijō(Barrier Gate Five Seals Technique: Castle Closing Eight Gates):[/url] Applied to Kumogakure and any relatively important installment.

[url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Fire_Sealing_Method]Fire Sealing Method[/url]: Though the fuuinjutsu is specified to fire he has modified this technique, allowing it to seal other elemental jutsu as long as they are below S rank. Each respective seal can only store one jutsu at a time. [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Shadow_Clone_Technique]Kage Bunshin no jutsu(Shadow clone technique)[/url]: Genmyou is capable of distributing as much or as little of his chakra as he pleases to when utilizing this technique. [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Chidori_Current]Chidori Nagashi(Chidori current)[/url]: Rather than utilizing chidori he simply channels lightning chakra into his aura and focuses it into flowing currents of lightning that have the same effect.

[url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Five-Seal_Barrier]Gofu Kekkai(Five barrier seal)[/url]: He does know this technique, but it is not directly applicable in battle. [B]Custom Jutsu[/B] [B]Name of Technique:[/B] Agarisagari([sub]上がり下がり[/sub] [I]'Fluctuation'[/I]). [B]Type of Jutsu:[/B] Fuinjutsu. [B]Rank:[/B] B [B]Range:[/B] Contact. [B]Nature Type:[/B] N/A. [B]Handseals:[/B] 3. [B]Description:[/B] By studying and modifying the [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Five_Elements_Seal]Gogyo Fuin(Five Elements Seal)[/url], Genmyou has developed a technique that utilizes the concept of disrupting other seals and by extension chakra. Unlike the Gogyo Fuin, this technique disrupts chakra even if there are no other seals present on the victim. When the Agarisagaro is placed on an individual it will impede the movement of chakra by disrupting the chakra path ways and causing them to fluctuate randomly. This makes it twice as difficult to utilize ninjutsu or to generally focus and control chakra. [B]Weakness:[/B] If the seal is damaged it will be rendered useless. Additionally it can be removed by the Gogyo Kaiin. The seal can be disrupted by firing chakra into the seal from the outside or focusing it in the seal till it breaks. Breaking this seal by focusing chakra and overloading it is considerably difficult and will waste chakra due to the fact that the fluctuations make it hard to focus and direct chakra. ==================== [B]Name of Technique:[/B] Fuin no kumokui([sub]吹いんの雲杭[/sub] [I]'Seal of the Spider Bite'[/I]). [B]Type of Jutsu:[/B] Fuinjutsu. [B]Rank:[/B] A. [B]Range:[/B] Contact. [B]Nature Type:[/B] N/A. [B]Handseals:[/B] 0. [B]Description:[/B] By utilizing his chakra Genmyou is capable of placing a seal on a tag or an opponent directly that effectively acts like a crack in the victim's chakra system. This causes chakra to slowly leak from the victim's body. [B]Weakness:[/B] Damaging the seal by burning it or cutting it will cease the effects of the jutsu. ==================== [B]Name of Technique:[/B] [url=http://i1112.photobucket.com/albums/k492/psalmsamuel/gateway.jpg]Junikari Kuchiyose([sub]樹に借り口寄せ[/sub] [I]'Pure Anchor Summoning'[/I]).[/url] [B]Type of Jutsu:[/B] Space-time Fuininjutsu.

[B]Description:[/B] By studying the Kuchiyose no jutsu and imlementing the use of his pure chakra with it, he is effectively able to program his pure chakra and use 3 handseals in order to summon a specified object -and only an object- to a designated location. The location is designated by a localization of his pure chakra. This technique takes such a small amount of chakra that it is completely negligible. [B]Weakness:[/B] This technique can only summon to where the specified chakra is located. Additionally, if the chakra is used for a long range summoning the jutsu will become increasingly more taxing with the increase in distance. This jutsu is also unable to summon anything over the size of a person in mass and weight. ==================== [B]Name of Technique:[/B] Fuin furidashi([sub]吹いん振り出し[/sub] [I]'Seal infusion'[/I]). [B]Type of Jutsu:[/B] Fuinjutsu. [B]Rank:[/B] D-S. [B]Range:[/B] Physical or chakratic contact. [B]Nature Type:[/B] [I]Pure[/I] chakra. [B]Handseals:[/B] 0. [B]Description:[/B] Essentially Genmyou has such a mastery of his purified chakra that as long as something is either within his aura (such as his blank tags or scrolls) he is capable of inscribing seals on them. If he is touching the object it takes less time than if it was in his aura, specifically direct contact is 2x as effective as indirect(aural). [hider=_]If mentioned in a seal, these will be different, otherwise these apply. [I]D Rank:[/I] Aural contact takes 2 seconds (afterwards the seal is useable) and direct has no charge. [I]C Rank:[/I] Aural contact takes 4 seconds and direct takes 2 seconds. [I]B Rank:[/I] Aural contact takes 8 seconds and direct takes 4 seconds. [I]A Rank:[/I] Aural contact takes 12 seconds and direct contact takes 6 seconds. [I]S Rank:[/I] Aural contact takes 16 seconds and direct contact takes 8 seconds.[/hider] [B]Weakness:[/B] Without contact this technique is useless, additionally the more complex the fuinjutsu (higher ranked) the longer it takes for this to work. ==================== [B]Name of Technique:[/B] Tenkō([sub]転向[/sub] [I]'Switch'[/I]). [B]Type of Jutsu:[/B] Fuinjutsu. [B]Rank:[/B] D. [B]Range:[/B] N/A. [B]Nature Type:[/B] N/A. [B]Handseals:[/B] 3. [B]Description:[/B] This technique is a small set of interlaid lines and circles that can be applied to any of his fuinjutsu. Effectively, this allows him to activate or deactivated a fuinjutsu's effect by preforming 3 hand seals. This is always utilized in regards to his fire sealing method techniques and has the effect of allowing him to release the jutsu from the scroll or otherwise object. [B]Weakness:[/B] It has no effect by itself and has normal seal weaknesses. ==================== [B]Name of Technique:[/B] Fuin kakari([sub]吹いんかかり[/sub] [I]'Seal linking'[/I]).

[B]Description:[/B] This is a very simple technique which allows the individual to link seals. This is typically used when regarding summoning seals and allows an object to be transfered from one seal to another through this technique. [B]Weakness:[/B] It has no effect by itself and has normal seal weaknesses. ==================== [B]Name of Technique:[/B] [url=http://www.worldhealing.net/image/chokureisymbol.gif]Tsuuro shougeichiten([sub]通路商芸地点[/sub] [I]'Pathway blocking point'[/I]).[/url] [B]Type of Jutsu:[/B] Fuinjutsu. [B]Rank:[/B] B. [B]Range:[/B] Contact. [B]Nature Type:[/B] N/A. [B]Handseals:[/B] 4. [B]Description:[/B] An interesting technique, Tsuuro shougeichiten effectively acts much like a strike from the gentle fist style in that once applied it blocks chakra. Unlike the Lion closing roar or similar techniques however, this seal instead blocks chakra in such a way that the path is effected much like the blood stream is by a blood clot. This effectively means that overtime Tsuuro shougeichiten causes a blockage in the chakra stream which can create a build up in pressure. This varies in how long, but the more chakra that is being used/the faster the flow of chakra, the quicker this will occur. If the seal is not removed this blockage can effectively rupture a chakra pathway and cause chakra to rampantly flow into areas of the body where it should not be, this is incredibly painful. Additionally, if the seal is removed -of course depending on how early after it is applied- the chakra blocked will suddenly rush to move and fill the space. If the seal was placed near a chakra exit, this can cause chakra to randomly eject from the victim's body and thus waste their chakra. [B]Weakness:[/B] The seal will break after a certain amount of chakra has built up as the pressure acts about the same as overwhelming the seal with chakra. If the seal is damaged or removed it's effects are nullified. This seal requires some of the user's chakra to be stored within the seal in addition to the effort needed to create the seal. ==================== [B]Name of Technique:[/B] Ryuutsuuro Fuin([sub]流通路吹いん[/sub] [I]'Dragon-pathway seal'[/I]). [B]Type of Jutsu:[/B] Fuinjutsu. [B]Rank:[/B] A. [B]Range:[/B] Contact. [B]Nature Type:[/B] N/A. [B]Handseals:[/B] 5. [B]Description:[/B] By executing the 5 hand seals, forming the seal on something or with his chakra and applying it the user effectively boosts the victim's abilities. The victim's chakra system speeds up and is improved in it's ability to release chakra thus allowing their body to be faster and stronger. This also means ninjutsu seem to unexpectedly come out stronger than normal, the effected part will usually not notice the difference due to adrenaline. After the three minute mark they'll begin to feel tired and within the next 2 minutes fatigue will set in. [B]Weakness:[/B] This technique can only be overloaded with chakra if the user can focus their chakra to the seal rather than letting it flow. Additionally the seal can be removed or damaged to cease it's effects, though any chakra used before hand will still have caused some portion of the desired effect. This jutsu takes around 1 minute to fully activate and thus seems more gradual. A-S ranked individuals can forcibly slow their chakra system and skilled B rank individuals may be able to do so as well. ==================== [b]Name:[/b] Hirukigō([sub]蛭記号[/sub] [I]'Leech-symbol'[/I]). [b]Type:[/b] Fūinjutsu. [b]Rank:[/b] B. [b]Range:[/b] Contact. [b]Hand Signs:[/b] 5. [b]Description:[/b] Hirukigō, once activated will continuously pull chakra from any available source unless blocked by another seal. While this makes it incredibly useful to sap chakra from enemies it also comes with the unfortunate side effect of draining the user's chakra when they are of insufficient skill to properly control the technique or do not possess a seal to block this process. ==================== [b]Name:[/b] Surikomi no Jutsu([sub]刷り込みの術[/sub] [I]'Imprinting technique'[/I]). [b]Type:[/b] Ninjutsu; Fūinjutsu. [b]Rank:[/b] C. [b]Range:[/b] [b]Hand Signs:[/b] 0-5. [b]Description:[/b] A technique allowing a seal user to imprint chakra onto an object in such a format that a seal can be created on the given surface or in a prefabricated way wherein a seal is automatically placed upon the use of the technique, Surikomi no Jutsu is held within Keikoku's scarf first and foremost, though she does have a pair of leather gloves that allow him to achieve the same results. This technique requires 8 seconds of focus when the user possesses chakra control or fūinjutsu talent of equivalent rank. For each rank higher than the technique's own the user may subtract 2 seconds of prep time due to the increase in skill. Should even a small sliver of foreign chakra be channeled through the imprinted chakra before it manifests as a seal the technique is disrupted. The handseals required for the technique decrease as skill increases. Full mastery allows an individual to shed the limitation of handseals entirely. ==================== [b]Name:[/b] Mahi hyōshō([sub]麻痺表象[/sub] [I]'Paralysis emblem'[/I]). [b]Type:[/b] Fūinjutsu. [b]Rank:[/b] D. [b]Range:[/b] Contact. [b]Hand Signs:[/b] 1. [b]Description:[/b] An exceptionally simple seal, Mahi hyōshō causes whatever chakra is in contact with it to stop moving into new locations. As such the chakra in a person's body can properly circulate, but cannot be removed from their chakra network and their physical body is similarly unable to move as their chakra system is essentially locked in the space it is occupying upon the application of the seal. While a less common use of the technique, a skilled shinobi could potentially use this technique to counter some forms of ninjutsu or use it to establish defenses of a sort. It is thought that this technique was, and perhaps still is, essential to the creation of barriers. While considered a D rank technique due to its miniscule chakra drain on the user, the technique is effective even on higher level techniques all the way up to B rank. Nonetheless should the seal have no remaining medium or should it be disrupted by a sudden and skillful spike of chakra it can, and likely will, break. ==================== [b]Name:[/b] Dōtai gyōretsu([sub]導体行列[/sub] [I]'Circuit matrix'[/I]). [b]Type:[/b] Ninjutsu; Fūinjutsu. [b]Rank:[/b] C. [b]Range:[/b] Contact. [b]Hand Signs:[/b] N/A. [b]Description:[/b] A bizarre technique designed to create specific channels or pathways of chakra in a body or object, Dōtai gyōretsu requires intense chakra control. With it a skilled individual may create chakra pathways inside of their body that can be utilized for different purposes or cause a variety of effects. A master of the technique can layer fuinjutsu upon this technique applying specific traits and properties to chakra that moves through the [i]'circuits'[/i] created by the technique. Currently Keikoku is not skilled enough in the techniques use to do this. However, the technique acts as an amplifier to him already fairly impressive chakra control as well as a tool of sorts. The technique has been displayed to speed up, slow down, and divert the flow of chakra in various mediums. When utilized the technique creates a series of lines and interwoven symbols on the surface of the affected person or item. Any property or effect that the user is already capable of causing with their chakra can be achieved via this method and/or amplified by such. ==================== [B]Name of Technique:[/B] Denkou Ooi([sub]でんこう多い[/sub] [I]'Lightning Mantle'[/I]). [B]Type of Jutsu:[/B] Ninjutsu. [B]Rank:[/B] A. [B]Range:[/B] N/A. [B]Nature Type:[/B] Lightning [B]Handseals:[/B] 8. [B]Description:[/B] Through studying lightning release armor and then utilizing his ability to conduct lightning through his body with no ill effects, Genmyou is capable of making a mantle of lightning around his body and within. This mantle allows him to move at high speed, though nowhere near as fast as lightning release armor, it takes a rather skill individual to track his movements without the aid of a doujutsu. This jutsu essentially amplifies his speed and strength, the strength aspect is much weaker than the speed. If an individual comes into contact with the mantle they will find themselves damaged, be it through burns or shocks. [B]Weakness:[/B] This jutsu, though not all that chakra taxing, makes it difficult to utilize other jutsu while it is active. Prepared jutsu do not count, additionally Denkou Ooi only lasts for a maximum of three minutes and has a cooldown time ranging from 30 seconds to 1 minute. ==================== [B]Name of Technique:[/B] Inadzuka([sub]稲塚[/sub] [I]'Flash of Lightning'[/I]). [B]Type of Jutsu:[/B] Ninjutsu. [B]Rank:[/B] E-A. [B]Range:[/B] N/A. [B]Nature Type:[/B] Lightning. [B]Handseals:[/B] 3. [B]Description:[/B] Inadzuka is a raiton technique that by itself can either be used much like a chidori, or can be fired off in a bolt of lightning. This rank, depending on the charge time, will be stronger or weaker and can thus vary in it's damage. [hider=_][I]E Rank:[/I] With no charge time at all, this rank of Inadzuka can be spammed at will, but does no damage. It causes a slight prickle of electricity if it hits, but otherwise only forms static in the air. [I]D Rank:[/I] This rank has a 5 second charge time and no cool down. It causes a light shock that would cause the body to hesitate and bristle slightly. This rank also causes static to gather towards it, hinting that it may be slightly magnetic. [I]C Rank:[/I] This rank has a 10 second charge time and no cool down time. It causes a stun effect if it hits and it gathers enough static to form a D rank lightning jutsu. The static can be felt slightly, but otherwise has no effect at all. [I]B Rank:[/I] This rank has a 20 second charge time and a 10 second cool down time. A stun effect lasting 10 seconds is caused in addition to burn damage, possible piercing, and normal lightning damage. Additionally the static gathered is equal to the dispersed form of the C rank technique and is now obviously felt, it still has no effect. [I]A Rank:[/I] Getting hit by this rank, which is the highest form of this technique, causes incredibly painful damage and would make a chuunin likely pass out and cause a jounin a rather dangerous amount of damage. If it hits it becomes painful to move afterwards. This rank has a 30 second charge time and a 20 second cool down time, additionally the static gathered is equal to the dispersed B rank technique.[/hider] [B]Weakness:[/B] The charge times, cool down, and relative weakness of the technique in general. ==================== [B]Name of Technique:[/B] Kawa no Shijun([sub]革の至純[/sub] [I]'Streams of absolute purity '[/I]). [B]Type of Jutsu:[/B] Kekkai Shape-manipulation ninjutsu. [B]Rank:[/B] C-B. [B]Range:[/B] 50 yard(250 foot) radius. [B]Nature Type:[/B] [I]Pure[/I] chakra. [B]Handseals:[/B] 2. [B]Description:[/B] This technique allows Genmyou to exude his 'pure' chakra and then control it to form streams of energy that act much like water. These 'streams' of chakra are incredibly conductive of any kind of jutsu whether they are his or not, and he is capable of conducting or utilizing other jutsu through this. [B]Weakness:[/B] This technique can easily amplify ANYONE's jutsu that passes through it. ==================== [B]Name of Technique:[/B] Gateway of the Ouroboros. [B]Type of Jutsu:[/B] Barrier ninjutsu. [B]Rank:[/B] B [B]Range:[/B] N/A. [B]Nature Type:[/B] [I]Pure[/I] chakra. [B]Handseals:[/B] 6. [B]Description:[/B] By utilizing his barrier rods, Genmyou is capable of using this technique to set up a barrier of varying size and shape. Typically the barriers will be in the rough shape of a box/cube, but they can vary in shape. These barriers work by connecting barrier rods with a flat plane of chakra. This process means that if an individual is caught between two barrier rods while they are forming a barrier they could very will be cut in half or the like. These barriers are incredibly effective against chakrabased attacks. Lightning affinity jutsu below B rank will conduct into the 'pure' chakra and be channeled throughout the barrier. All other affinities can have their desired effect. [B]Weakness:[/B] Powerful taijutsu techniques or piercing attacks can easily cut, break, or pass through the barrier ==================== [B]Name of Technique:[/B] Douji kaido([sub]同時開度[/sub] [I]'Synchronous divergence'[/I]). [B]Type of Jutsu:[/B] FuiNinjutsu. [B]Rank:[/B] S. [B]Range:[/B] Direct or indirect contact. [B]Nature Type:[/B] [I]Pure[/I] chakra. [B]Handseals:[/B] 16. [B]Description:[/B] Douji kaido, a technique created some years after Genmyou's study with the Antare clan, it is a technique to be feared by all those who posses an advanced affinity. The jutsu is simple, it is a seal, that after being conducted through his chakra using Fuin furidashi, is capable of essentially tearing merged affinities apart. This technique works through the seal quickly infecting the jutsu with Genmyou's 'pure' chakra, latching onto the intermingled affinities, and then causing a divergence which splits the jutsu in half, -altering it's trajectory- and destroys the synchronicity of the affinities by doing so. [B]Weakness:[/B] Despite the explanation of Fuin Furidashi, this technique takes 10 seconds to charge if done so directly and 20 seconds if activated via his aura. ==================== [B]Name of Technique:[/B] Ijū no tsūshin([sub]移住の通信[/sub] [I]'Signals of Transmigration'[/I]). [B]Type of Jutsu:[/B] Supplementary ninjutsu/Forbidden Technique(?). [B]Rank:[/B] C-S. [B]Range:[/B] 100 mile radius or within magnetic field. [B]Nature Type:[/B] Denjiton and/or Lightning. [B]Handseals:[/B] Variable. [B]Description:[/B] Potentially a forbidden technique when utilized at its strongest, Ijū no tsūshin is a technique devised by the Kanagata clan, but released to the public. It is one of few that is actually useable by anyone, rather than just by one of the two most masterful lightning clans. A largely variable technique in regards to application, Ijū no tsūshin is executed utilizing handseals only when the user's skill is exceptionally low. The amount of handseals varies depending on user skill, complexity of the technique's application, and distance. Cutting to the point, Ijū no tsūshin allows the user to transmit subtle electrical signals via chakra. One of the primary uses of Ijū no tsūshin is in the vein of nigh telepathic communication by sending electrical signals from one individual to the other. This application is B rank at least as it requires incredible mental focus and chakra control so as not to accidentally use too much electricity and thus damage the brain. While most users of Ijū no tsūshin are only capable of communicating rudimentary orders over only twenty or so meters, those capable of utilizing the technique at A rank are able to transmit signals over 10s of miles of distance. The further away the individual, the less complex the signals must be with few exceptions. The last, and forbidden, use of this technique is effectively mind control, which is considered a technique only in the grasp of a select few, most of which are members of the Kanagata clan. This [I]mind control[/I] is utilized via the user transmitting a set of continuous electrical signals of extreme complexity, thus allowing them to effectively fire nerves strategically, and even highjack an individual's brain and use it to further transmit signals once highjacked. This application is considered S rank and is typically used only as an interrogation technique, having been forbidden in all other scenarios. [B]Weakness:[/B] While not limited in its range or the complexity of the “commands,” or the detail of its communicative abilities, and certainly not possessing a high chakra cost barring its S rank use, Ijū no tsūshin is not an easy technique to maintain. While its chakra cost is not great, every use takes a sliver, and continuous use, even for most masters, threatens to cause the user to become less and less aware of the amount of chakra going into the process. Additionally, due to the sheer complexity of translating “words,” and concepts directly to the brain of another individual via electrical signals, even for the sake of mere communication, this technique takes a level of focus for all, but the most masterful users that makes it largely useless in combat as it would only allow most individuals to give very simple commands, if that. Lastly, when using the S rank form of this technique, a given user is typically incapable of manipulating more than one individual at a time and almost always must remain entirely immobile while doing so. When controlling another person their own senses and awareness of their surroundings are lowered considerably making them more vulnerable to both genjutsu and surprise attacks. It should be noted that in addition to the aforementioned weaknesses, this technique can be disrupted in several other notable ways as it only works properly when conducting through air. As such, the signals carried by the electricity will be distorted too greatly to be used if they must travel through three meters of dense material or any liquid. Should an individual be cloaked in lightning chakra or have it running through their body the technique will be unable to take over their body, or will be drowned out by the stronger electrical currents. Lastly, individuals with exceptional chakra control can treat even the S ranked technique much like a genjutsu and fluctuate their chakra continuously to disrupt the jutsu's control long enough to reassert their own. ==================== [B]Name of Technique:[/B] [url=http://th04.deviantart.net/fs45/150/f/2009/114/f/7/Alchemy_symbol_by_chorynaglowe.jpg]Idou no Himotsuki([sub]移動の紐付[/sub] [I]'Removal of Restriction'[/I]).[/url] [B]Type of Jutsu:[/B] FuiNinjutsu. [B]Rank:[/B] B. [B]Range:[/B] 6 meter radius. [B]Nature Type:[/B] N/A. [B]Handseals:[/B] 5. [B]Description:[/B] Utilizing his blade, Genmyou channels a fuinjutsu through it and/or stores one within and utilizes this later. Once prepared with hand seals, Genmyou will stab his blade into the ground and call out this technique's name. Once done the seal will appear inscribed around where the blade's location of piercing/contact. He will quickly say the name of the seal and it will expand outwards covering a space with a 6 meter diameter with the blade at it's epicenter. Anyone who comes into contact with the sealing area will be affected by whichever fuinjutsu has been placed therein. The seal for this technique appears as the normal seal (seen in the link) overlaid with whatever seal he is using. [B]Weakness:[/B] This technique can only be held as long as his blade remains in the ground. Once one or more individuals enter the area of sealing it begins to drain Genmyou's chakra to fuel whichever fuinjutsu are being utilized. This technique can only remain active for up to 4 minutes, this can vary in relation to which fuinjutsu are being utilized through it. ==================== [B]Name of Technique:[/B] [url=http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/mafiaandcheetos/images/d/dd/Alchemy_light.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20130706051852]Chiten ijū no Jutsu([sub]地点移住の術[/sub] [I]'Space Transmigration Technique'[/I])[/url]. [B]Type of Jutsu:[/B] Space-time Fuinjutsu. [B]Rank:[/B] S. [B]Range:[/B] Contact. [B]Nature Type:[/B] N/A. [B]Handseals:[/B] 6. [B]Description:[/B] A rather simple fuinjutsu as Space-time techniques go, Chiten Ijū no Jutsu works by linking two spots, and only two spots to one another spatially via a sort matter swap. Essentially, one seal, upon contact with the user after being placed on a surface and activated via 6 hand seals, will scan all the information, energy, and matter of the individual, and then alter its locational information by swapping it with an equivalent amount of space. Upon appearing at the location of the second seal, the user must step off of the symbol within the space of 2 seconds or they will be returned immediately to their prior location as the space switches back. This also means that the seal typically works one way unless activated from one end, the space swapped, then a person steps onto it, but this requires reliable instantaneous communication between the two areas. [B]Weakness:[/B] Technically a one way jutsu. It is not very useful in combat either unless one prepares the battlefield prior and allows each seal to charge. Additionally, these seals charge solely with natural energy as otherwise they would require too much chakra to function regularly. ==================== [B]Name of Technique:[/B] [url=http://orig13.deviantart.net/fb8b/f/2007/140/6/d/dark_alchemy_by_blue_void.jpg]Kōshin kankei([sub]交信関係[/sub] [I]'Communication link'[/I])[/url]. [B]Type of Jutsu:[/B] Fuinjutsu. [B]Rank:[/B] A. [B]Range:[/B] Contact. [B]Nature Type:[/B] N/A. [B]Handseals:[/B] 12/1. [B]Description:[/B] To apply this seal to something or someone, the user preforms 12 handseals and moulds inscribes the necessary sealing formula onto whatever they wish to create the seal upon. Once inscribed, this seal, via contact if it is on a surface, or via a single handseal if on a person, allows anyone attached to the network to communicate [i]telepathically[/i]. In actuality, Kōshin kankei works by one person speaking, and the sound of their words being transmitted, via chakra, through space directly to any corresponding seals, thus manifesting as sound information to the ears. As such an individual can whisper, but the sound will flawlessly reach anyone connected to it due to the seal translating it into audible sound information and sending it directly to the ear. Additionally, it should be noted that Kōshin kankei can be utilized to transmit sounds over an area as well as to a specific individual. The seal is typically written with a small difference per individual allowing different people to be contacted via small variations in chakra, or sometimes, simply by stating their name. This is the equivalent of speaking over different frequencies and as such transmitting messages to multiple people is the equivalent of aligning everyone's frequencies so that everyone hears the same things. [B]Weakness:[/B] Requires a small amount of chakra to be utilized. The seal must not be damaged for it to remain functional. Requires preperation and is generally not used for combot purposes. Advanced uses of the technique require exceptional chakra control.[/hider]
