Masaki Haruna, it is thy post.

Shūkyō Kaikaku (Naruto AU)

Hello.

Shūkyō Kaikaku (Naruto AU)

Tai Yang

Used Name: Tai Yang
Birthplace: Island way off the east of the map, nominally part of Kirigakure, but barely attached to their political structure.
Age: 13 ???
Current Village: Kirigakure

Rank: Possibly somewhere in the Jounin range for combat ability, but Tai Yang has little seniority and is very much an outsider to the ninja system, and so is currently tentatively a Chuunin.

Backstory/Personality: Tai Yang is a boy of strength, vigor, and discipline. He values his own definition of honor and courage, but does not begrudge others their deceptions and tools. They need something to make things interesting, no? Of course, they’d be stronger in the long run if they laid down their steel and trained their bodies, but it is too late now.

Back home, he was the strongest on his island by the age of eight, and so he traveled from island to island, swimming his way to each village. Defeating each village’s strongest, he was pointed ever westward towards Kiragakure. Arriving in Kiragakure at the age of 12 and partaking in a Chuunin exam, he was victorious through the first stage, but just barely, finally meeting opponents who were his match in battle. Dismayed at his weakness, he left to train during the gap between the stages in the exam. When he came back, he was barely recognizable, having seemingly aged years both in body and techniques. However, chakra sensing techniques were able to confirm that it was indeed the same Tai Yang who had left to train a week ago. His techniques and physical ability crushed the opposition despite his naively or stupidly straightforward fighting style.

Kekkei Genkai: Toukon - Fighting Spirit
Type: Toukoton - Fighting Spirit Release, only slightly mangled, because it sounds cooler this way to Tai Yang.
Clan: When Tai Yang heard about the ninja thing of Kekkei Genkai, he decided he wanted one too. So he made one (up).

Jutsu/Items

Name of Jutsu: PUNCH IT TILL VICTORY! Technique
Rank: ???
Range: Touch
Type of Jutsu: Nintaijutsu ???
User[s]: Tai Yang
Affinity: Fighting Spirit Release ???



Description: Tai Yang attempts to punch you till he wins. He’s generally not too disappointed if you run away requiring him to temporarily switch to “Run at them until you can punch them again Technique.”

Name of Jutsu: Run at them until you can punch them again Technique
Rank: C
Range: Personal
Type of Jutsu: Nintaijutsu
Users[s]: Tai Yang
Affinity: Fighting Spirit Release ???

Description: Most ninjas reach a point where their bodies are capable of producing more speed than their friction with the ground is capable of handling, thus necessitating the “Jump between trees Technique”. However, Tai Yang has developed a technique where he bonds his foot with chakra to the ground so that he can push himself forward as fast as his physique can permit, and then send himself forward even faster by detonating that under his foot if necessary. This technique allows Tai Yang startling maneuverability and speed on the ground. Also of note, is that footwork is of incredible importance to the strength of one’s punches, and Tai Yang is not one to ignore anything that makes his punches stronger.

Name of Jutsu: Jump between trees Technique
Rank: D
Range: Personal
Type of Jutsu: Nintaijutsu
Users[s]: Tai Yang
Affinity: Fighting Spirit Release ???

Description: Tai Yang saw some ninjas jumping between trees. It was cool. He wanted to do it to. So he did. He liked it. But he still prefers to fight on the ground.

Name of Jutsu: Megaton Punch Technique
Rank: ???
Range: Touch
Type of Jutsu: Nintaijutsu ???
User[s]: Tai Yang
Affinity: Fighting Spirit Release ???


Description: Tai Yang uppercuts you. Really hard. With Dramatic Lighting Technique. Off a rather small cliff.

Name of Jutsu: Dramatic Lighting Technique
Rank: D
Range: Close
Type of Jutsu: Nintaijutsu ??? (We’re pretty sure this one is actually Genjutsu)
Users[s]: Tai Yang
Affinity: Fighting Spirit Release ???

Description: Most ninjas are willing to hide their attacks behind stealth or trickery, or only have them glow brightly when the attack is of some illuminating nature. But not Tai Yang! Whenever his opponent sees him coming, it is his solemn duty to provide dramatic lighting to inform them they are about to be punched.

Name of Jutsu: The Way of the Warrior is the Path of Truth! Technique
Rank: A
Range: Personal
Type of Jutsu: Nintaijutsu ???
Users[s]: Tai Yang
Affinity: Fighting Spirit Release ???

Description: Whether by sheer self-confidence, insanity, or Fighting Spirit, Tai Yang is entirely immune to any Genjutsu cancelled by pain, and is extraordinarily resistant to Genjutsu not affected by Pain. Even legendary “Trap you in another world for a year under extreme torture” level Genjutsu seem to simply exasperate Tai Yang as he wants to start fighting again.

Name of Jutsu: The Way of the Warrior is the Path of Body! Technique
Rank: C
Range: Touch
Type of Jutsu: Nintaijutsu
Users[s]: Tai Yang
Affinity: Fighting Spirit Release ???

Description: The Way of the Warrior is the Path of Body! Technique imbues Tai Yang’s punches with chakra, which then wraps around whatever he is punching with that chakra, binding that object together and providing a wrapper to prevent it from touching Tai Yang. Then, when this wrapper of chakra is caught between the extreme pressure of Tai Yang’s punch and whatever is on the other side, it explodes outward, blowing the object away (presuming Tai Yang has more force). This has led to such incidences as Tai Yang punching lightning bolts out of his way.

Name of Jutsu: The Way of the Warrior is the Path of Spirit! Technique
Rank: B
Range: Touch
Type of Jutsu: Nintaijutsu
Users[s]: Tai Yang
Affinity: Fighting Spirit Release ???

Description: The Way of the Warrior is the Path of Spirit! Technique is another imbue Tai Yang’s punches with chakra technique. This time, when the chakra contacts enemy chakra, it binds with that chakra and compresses, igniting both chakras like how diesel engines work, causing both the enemy and Tai Yang’s chakra to explode violently. Depending on whether Tai Yang wants to kill his opponent or merely annihilate their chakra reserves, he can tune his chakra to make the explosion interact with normal matter or chakra.

Name of Jutsu: Shooting Star Punch Technique
Rank: ???
Range: ???
Type of Jutsu: Nintaijutsu ???
User[s]: Tai Yang ???
Affinity: Fighting Spirit Release ???



Description: Tai Yang has never actually used this technique. But he wants to.

Name of Jutsu: Halo of the Golden Monkey Technique
Rank: B
Range: Personal
Type of Jutsu: Nintaijutsu
User[s]: Tai Yang
Affinity: Fighting Spirit Release ???

Description: Surrounds himself with a layer of violent yellowish chakra that protects him from unfocused attacks, via similar methods to his Path of Body and Spirit techniques.

Name of Jutsu: Fist of the Divine Emperor Technique
Rank: A
Range: Medium/Long depending on whether the tail is used.
Type of Jutsu: Nintaijutsu ???
User[s]: Tai Yang
Affinity: Fighting Spirit Release ???

Description: With both hands, Tai Yang manifests and launches a ball of chakra. This chakra can use the effects of either or both of his Path of Body or Spirit techniques. It can also be launched with a tail, allowing Tai Yang to guide it by throwing more chakra with a new direction in it, or retract the majority of the chakra used if he thinks he will miss. Once the tail is broken, he can no longer do either of those, and the attack is a dumb projectile. He can also launch weaker versions with only a single hand. This technique can easily penetrate many barriers, chakra or physical, by exploding an outer layer of chakra to momentarily breach it while the technique slips through, but it isn’t very smart about doing this unless the tail is still attached and Tai Yang is guiding it. This technique can get supercharged quite a bit, as Tai Yang can dump nearly all of his chakra into a single blast of this technique that could easily take out most opponents… If on the off chance some opponent worth that was so dumb as to get hit by a guided ball of chakra without some precaution.

Name of Jutsu: Centering of Self Technique
Rank: B
Range: Personal
Type of Jutsu: Nintaijutsu ???
User[s]: Tai Yang
Affinity: Fighting Spirit Release ???

Description: Tai Yang’s techniques tend to leave a lot of underutilized chakra just floating around, and by concentrating; Tai Yang can draw that to himself to replenish himself. The rate of regeneration depends on how much chakra is floating around. Tai Yang can only use C level or lower techniques or just one B level technique while maintaining this level of concentration. Of important note is that this chakra draw tends to disrupt and interfere with other chakra regeneration abilities that rely on drawing chakra from somewhere other than the body, causing both techniques to cancel out.

Name of Jutsu: ??? Technique
Rank: ???
Range: ???
Type of Jutsu: Nintaijutsu ???
User[s]: Tai Yang ???
Affinity: Fighting Spirit Release ???

Description: It is surmised that Tai Yang or someone associated with him has a technique capable of either placing someone in a place where time passes differently and so they can train a year in just a day, or some similar effect.

Name of Armament: Tai Yang
Owner: Tai Yang
Rank: A

Description: Tai Yang’s body packs too much power, both in physical prowess and chakra level. It’s like he’s spent his entire life doing nothing but training for fights and fighting.

Allia and Zilant

"Wow... That's pretty powerful and a complexly conditional effect. For such a little thing to do such complicated and powerful deeds.. These must be hard to make!" Allia examined the charm, but did not adorn it yet.

"Allia..." Zilant grumbled warily.

"Oh, right.. Um.. yes. This is a bit awkward to ask.. But, um, I'm not very good with my chakra or complicated seals like this... And I do have a debt to the Yamakage, so I don't want to impair my ability to serve. And Zilant is paranoid about seals and contracts and bargains." She glanced down at Zilant somewhat disgruntled, and also obviously looking very embarrassed for asking, whatever it was she was about to ask.

With a baited breath, she pulled the Sword of Sheol just slightly out of its bundle, baring a few inches of blade, "Would you mind promising me that the seal will have no lingering effects once I return home and remove it physically?" She reached out with a thumb to just slightly nick herself on the edge of the blade letting a drop or two fall onto the blade. "If you bleed on this sword, it will enforce the letter of any promise or contract by summoning anyone who breaks the contract to Zilant's homeland. The effect last for a year and a day. Seeing I'm asking you to trust me on that one, feel free to examine the sword to make sure that is actually how it works. Sorry I can't do the same for your seal, I'm not good enough at that sort of thing."

~After Homura's introduction~

"Oh, hello! Nope, I'm new!" Allia raised the charm, still not worn yet, and smiled at what appeared to be a little girl to Allia.

Shūkyō Kaikaku (Naruto AU)

Alright, I'll have a post up first thing tomorrow. I need sleep. :P

Shūkyō Kaikaku (Naruto AU)

If you're having trouble coming up with something, just post what kind of interaction you'd like on here, and we'll see if someone would like the same. :)

Never know, if your idea is cool enough, someone might write up a new character just to accommodate you. I know I intend on whipping up 2-3 more.

Shūkyō Kaikaku (Naruto AU)

"Oh thank you!" Illia tried to bow and wave, at the same time, which worked out very poorly when she was already clutching herself to a steed that was almost vertical and ended in her falling back onto Zilant's arched neck.

Zilant tilted his head slightly and lowered himself slightly, both to accommodate Illia and to stretch himself forward to sniff slightly, eyes almost closing. His eyes passed over Shadan with almost a satisfactory nod before staring a little more closely at Suishō before he lowered himself further to give Allia an easy time.

"I'm Allia, and this is Zilant. We came here to try the shopping." Her bow was much more successful this time.

"We came here because YOU wanted to go shopping." Zilant grumbled, "I prefer not to eat what others have killed, and I very much prefer not to eat what was never alive in the first place."

"Vegetables are totally alive!" Allia responded, "Or, were? Kinda?" She seemed slightly less sure of herself than she did on her initial rebuttal.

Zilant snorted in disbelief as he stomped forward exaggeratedly across the border to jostle a little sense into Allia, who clung tightly to him once more.

~Sometime later*~

"Are you cold, Allia?" Zilant muttered up at Allia, riding on his back, clad only in her dress sans the armor, green hair flowing with the wind. When it wasn't whipping into her face, that is. Long hair wasn't always graceful on fast moving objects.

"Hmm? No, I'm fine. It's funny. I haven't felt cold since you entrusted the Sword of Sheol to me all those years ago." She glanced down at said sword. It was thickly bundled in cloth, which then had Allia's armor over it, which then had more cloth and bindings over it. "Did we need to bring it today?"

"The Sword of Sheol is not something we can ever leave behind for safekeeping, no matter how trusted the bearer." Zilant intoned, irritated, "It's bad enough that you bear the blade in such a shameful manner. The House of Solidas does not sulk timidly into any arena!" His mouth puffed a spit of flame in his vehemence.

"We aren't going to an arena." Allia chided, "Besides, I can hardly be called sulking riding such a majestic dragon, now, can I?" She patted his neck.

He laughed at her obvious flattery. The frosted lands beneath were but a cloud bank dotted with decorations.

~Sometime Later*~
~Just outside the border~

"HELLO? IS ANYBODY THERE? CAN I COME IN? IS THAT OK?" Allia yelled, one hand holding close the bundle that contained her sword, the other cupped around her mouth.

Zilant's wing claw found his brow. "This is exactly what I was talking about, Allia."

"Look... I had to talk myself into entering a receptionist's room.. Now that I'm actually doing things myself, you're going to have to get used to my way of doing things, Zilant." Allia dropped her hand from her mouth to her hip.

"No... I talked you into a receptionist's room." Zilant's toothy maw widened in a grin. "And I'll do it again. Here. Let me try!"

"NONONO" Allia squealed, lowering and wrapping her free arm around Zilant's neck in panic as he reared up nearly vertical gathering a massive breath.

"ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR" The dragon's voice would be audible far off, echoing through the land.

*TM

"Well, the hand towel was nice." She commented as Zilant laid a wing claw on the Sword of Sheol to regenerate for a few seconds. Realizing the moment was over, she turned to leave, very nearly walking through the hole in the wall before Zilant plucked her up by the armor with his teeth, sat her on his back, and flew them away. How he managed to do that without snagging her long flowing hair, we will never know.

Shūkyō Kaikaku (Naruto AU)

Zilant, mighty dragon but still weak before Akiratori's might, was brought low, crashed against the floor, unstable and without forearms. His long neck writhed as his wing claws scrabbled for purchase. What issued forth from his maw was not some majestic roar, nor illuminated dialogue. It was cracking, screeching cry of desperation. Zilant's body shuddered as muscles surged. Perhaps it was only Akiratori's mercy, but after long moments of full body struggle, the body rose, just a tiny bit, the neck arching ever slightly higher. Not a moment later Zilant fell limp to the floor, body overwhelmed by its exertion, eyes dull and mouth frothing.

Then a long shuddering breath forced its way though Zilant. Another. And another. His eyes cleared as he finally realized the identity of the one he lashed out at. "You... Are.. the Champion of Exae... I... I..."

He rose, staggering once as he brought himself to a bowing position, head low. "I cannot find fault if the one I relied on to complete my duty for me chose not to do so. The fault was first mine. If my brothers had just been.. No, if I had been stronger as befits my calling, the plague never should have threatened our home. I acknowledge your strength, Yamakage. You have my heart's fire, second only to the House of Solidas." This was the word of a dragon, not easily given, and harder still to break. Zilant would never willingly break his oaths, and would have died for the House of Solidas if he had been there when Akiritori made her parent's pyre.

"Thank you! Thank you both.. Zilant!" Allia promptly ran forward, beaming, arms out to cradle Zilant's neck in her arms before... Tripping over the desk? "Ow!"

"Um... Allia? You... still can't see clearly from the light earlier, can you?" Zilant nosed over checking to see if she was alright in a fairly good impression, despite his being a dragon, of a fretful father. She did land in some flickering remnants of Breath of Azazel, but her armor diffused the heat and did not light aflame thanks to the Dragon's Scale's techniques.

".... Maybe..." She turned herself over, directing her face in vaguely the Kage's direction. "Thank you, again, Yamakage. Thank you for telling me what happened. I'm sure.. I'm sure our new home will turn out well!"
