Naruto: Yoshin (AU)

Behold the Rankage(formerly known as the Mizukage). As a note, I can't think of any really good titles for her right now, so if anyone has some actually good suggestions (especially if they translate into japanese well) feel free to share them. Beyond that, I'd like to note that her history gives a pretty good idea of what sort of person she is and that--eventually--I will get around to writing her personality. It's just that I can't figure out how I want to write it right now, and everything else is done. So yeah. Here ya go!

Anzen-sei, Kikuë

The Anzen-sei has risen to prominence, though it was always a clan of fair size, it has now become hugely influential due to the three kage in a row that were of Anzen-sei birth. Beyond this it should be known that they are matriarchal, with the women tending to be the leading figures, though they do not discriminate against the men of their clan. The fact of the matter is simply that their kekkei genkai tends to arise in women more often than men.

Chakra Nature: Water, Wind, and Lightning.

Additional Appearance Details

Standing at 5'9 and possessing a lean, subtly muscled build, Kikuë of distinctive features, generous curves, and an air about her that screams authority and self-assurance. Her movements are deliberate and strong, her decisions made with confidence, and she is a woman of grace and determination. Everything about her appearance simply reinforces these facts. While she is infrequently seen with her kage's robe, she is such a well known figure in her country—and especially in her village—that she doesn't need to.

History: Once, relative peace reigned, then the bijuu escaped and destruction on an unprecedented scale threatened Kirigakure. As all the villages did, they provided what aide they could to quell the fury of the tailed beasts, and in time they even succeeded. Then came the long recovery and so it was that the wounded land of lightning was brought under the mantle of Kirigakure and the waters they controlled. However, those whom lead it now, did not then for at the time it was Kikue's mother, Anzen-sei, Norikiri who lead the village through the latter half of those dark times. She led them so that they might emerge from the storm and once more into the light. Successful, Norikiri's health—having fought alongside Kikue's grandmother, Hidaiko—had long since begun to decline. So it was that she barely survived Kikue's birth. Though Norikiri did live for another decade or so, her daughter, Kikue did not have long to learn from her gracious and wise mother. Still, the girl cherished every moment and when her mother passed, she cried for only a day—even at the tender age of 10—and the very next day she was as steel, hardened against the world and ready to take it on like the two women before her. For another five years, Kirigakure went without a kage, but the girl knew that this could not last. So, like many children during the chaos of almost two decades ago, Kikue was forced to grow up very quickly by the pressures of the world.

Her family, without a proper clan head, had trained her hard, and in secret she had trained herself harder. When she did not know something she did not just attempt to learn it, but instead found the experts on the topic and had them teach her. When she found her limits, she bore down on them, and waited till they were whittled away, like the ocean against stone. So she learned quickly and she learned well and when those five years had passed, she took up the mantle of clan head, and then promptly walked through the village, into the kage's office suite, sat in the chair and dared the world to wrest her from it.

For the next 6 years the powers that be, in the form of many factions, attempted to remove Kikue from her position. However, by virtue of their very nature they were each defeated and then either exiled or made to swear their fealty to her name so that they might be bound to her will in kind. Had they perhaps been capable of trusting one another they may have been able to band against her, but that was simply not how things played out. Instead, she turned what might have been one united front, upon itself. She used every tool available to her, leveraging their friends, family, and assets against them until each of her detractors were laid low before her so that she might deal the decisive blow to their operations. With each adversary she defeated, a new problem arose, but she persisted, almost as if undaunted by the magnitude of the task she'd taken upon herself. The truth however was different, as behind closed doors she would sometimes cry, and on many nights she would lose sleep, and her health may have declined if she had not taken care of her body's needs and kept up with her training more by necessity than anything else.

As the assassination attempts and rebellions began to diminish in frequency—certainly because she had personally dealt with the former, and quelled the latter with considerably effort—she finally began to get to the huge problems that plagued her village and, indeed, her country. It was at this point that everyone in her country had either come to respect or fear her as she had proven to them all that, no, they indeed could not wrest the mantle of kage from her shoulders. With this proven and the internal conflicts of her country largely quelled, Kikue began her work.

Over the next decade, Kikue would proceed to turn what was a weakened village, and the country it ruled, into a powerful, and fully functioning, empire. With the Land of Lightning already subsumed, she began to organize their resources even as she reestablished trade more strongly with other nations, made allies, and used what remained of the resources in the Land of Lightning in tangent with the resources of her own Land of Water, to revitalize that part of what her mother had christened the Land of Storms.

So it was that Kikue re-established the defenses of what had been the land of lightning, helping the Antare clan rebuild their seal network outposts, known as Bastions. Once they were re-established she bid the Antare to make more, and grateful for her assistance, they agreed, formally making a pact with Kirigakure as they had once done with Kumogakure so many years ago. Thus, on every landmass, in—or near—every village, civilian or otherwise, in the Land of Storms, at least one or more Bastions were established and the seal network was drastically broadened. All the while, Kikue had fostered her relationships with other clans as well, bringing in the Kanagata soon after she had the Antare, and then employing their talents in tangent with those of the Antare to create a great electromagnetic grid around both the reforming Kumogakure and of course Kirigakure as well.

With her rule already cemented over both nations, she decided that she would elevate herself to a position greater than just the kage of a village, and so came into being the first Rankage(Storm-shadow) who presided over the entirety of the country's territory. Once this was done, the Land of Storms was divvied into what amounted to three territories, with Kirigakure and the islands to the north, northeast, and east of it being the central territory, the former Land of Lightning being the Northern most territory, and all the islands within their territory to the south being the third territory. Each territory had its capital and within each capital—Kirigakure aside—would be a Senku(Herald) who would take care of their territory and report back to Kikue and her constituents back in Kirigakure.

So the leader to a revitalized Kumogakure lost the title of kage, and instead became the Raisenku(Lightning herald) while the islands to the south had Namigakure and its leader, the Umisenku(Ocean herald), both of which Kikue outranked by design. Still, with time egos were healed and pride restored and so the Land of Storms thrived and along with it so did Kikue. All the while, despite the bulk of her time having been spent leading her people, Kikue had risen to new heights of power, going from a somewhat capable B rank at the age of 15—though her official title had been Chuunin—to a rather terrifying S rank kage as the years swept by.

As things calmed down in her country and her village she finally began to find time to relax and think, and it was around this time—age 27—that a certain blacksmith visited her village. The two had a blossoming friendship and as they grew closer, Kasumi eventually—about 6 months ago—found her inspiration and so created a weapon that Kikue would use for probably the remainder of her life, a weapon known as Kessaku: Shushi Kara Saku Hana. With this masterwork given unto her, Kikue knew that Kasumi was likely to soon leave her life—at least for some time—to wander in search of her inspiration once more.

Kikue on the other hand, has no intention of leaving any time soon and given her track record, who knows what she might tackle next. Surely we will soon find out.

Specialized Weapons & Items:

Name of Weapon or Item: Kessaku: Shushi Kara Saku Hana(_{傑作 - 種子から咲く花} 'Masterwork: From Seeds Bloom Flowers').

Description: An elegant and slender staff comprised of two halves forged by Masazane, Kasumi. The staff is made from spiritually-aspected metal infused heavily with Kikue’s chakra. The metal is organized in such a fashion that its core is crystalline and its outer layer leans more towards the spiritual – this results in the outer sheath of the weapon being able to move through purely chakratic constructs unhindered while still interacting with physical objects, and the crystalline core of the weapon acts as a seeding point for the crystallisation of chakra, allowing the rapid formation of crystals where such would not ordinarily be possible. This is particularly effective for solid materials that contain chakra, rather than pure chakra which is inherently impressionable. As a spiritually-aspected material, the weapon is also capable of interacting with Kikue’s familiar, Kujira, essentially turning the whale into a conduit for all of Kikue’s crystallization techniques for the duration that the masterwork is touching Kujira and Kujira is touching whatever it is that Kikue wishes to affect.

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

Name of Weapon or Item: Fūma Shuriken(_{風魔手裏剣} 'Wind Demon Shuriken').

Description: She has eight of these kept in two groups of four, each within a single crystal, all of which contain four additional crystals, thus allowing her to summon all of them at once, or any number individually. As to the nature of these weapons, read it and weep. Beyond this it should be known that all eight of the shuriken are already infused with her chakra. Both small, marble-sized crystals are embedded into their own metal bracelet, each of which adorns one of her wrists. These bracelets are additionally attuned to her chakra, allowing her to bind them back together—as well as naturally holding them together—so that if they should incur damage she can repair them with relative ease. They also have a very very small fuinjutsu on them that allows her to summon them back to her should she lose them so long as the fuinjutsu remain undamaged.

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

Name of Weapon or Item: Treated Holders.

Description: Rather than a simple item, this refers to all of the various pouches that a shinobi might use to store their various weapons and tools. Essentially, the outside has heat and fluid resistant coatings in addition to being marked with seals, protecting the user's explosive tags or other incendiaries from being easily detonated. Should the pouch containing her explosive tags be breached, they will be shifted into a seal or crystallized so as to be protected from anything that might cause them to detonate without Kikue wishing them to.

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

Name of Weapon or Item: The Survival Guide to Living in Kirigakure.

Description: An item typically kept in Kikue's office, though it may be summoned to her the Survival Guide to Living in Kirigakure, or the Survival Guide for short, is an item that Kikue—or anyone introducing a foreign shinobi into Kirigakure, not including ambassadors—must give to their foreign guests, particularly those who are shinobi that intend to work for and live in the village. The Guide is, in actuality, infused with a fuinjutsu that is activated upon opening it to its third page—which is where the actual reading begins. Once opened to its third page, the book will have drawn the smallest amount of chakra possible from the reader, which will then be used to activate the jutsu. Once activated, the fuinjutsu will pull the reader into what appears a random stretch of ocean that just so happens to be infested with...mmm, about one-hundred or so sharks. These sharks are those that Kikue may summon and are collectively known as Jissai no same. This item is both a metaphor for the somewhat cut throat nature of Kirigakure nin, and also a way to scare the absolute shit out of people purely for Kikue's own amusement.

With very few exceptions, the fuinjutsu will pull its reader(s) back to their prior location before they are actually harmed by the sharks—aside from being jostled, wet, and otherwise affected by being abruptly teleported underwater. There have been cases where Kikue has used the Survival Guide as capital punishment.

Summoning

Kujira(_鯨 'Whale').


Description:
Kujira, a giant spiritual whale, has been one of several spiritual familiars to members of the Anzen-sei clan for generations. For the last there generations in particular, Kujira has been handed from Grandmother, to mother, and then finally to Kikue, who is its current companion. Due to being bound to one another on an exceptionally deep level, Kujira is capable of telepathically and empathically communicating with her companion nigh instantaneously.

Additionally, due to their bond, Kikue is capable of channeling jutsu through Kujira's form, using her as a catalyst and origin point for her techniques, thus expanding her range monumentally. Beyond this it should be noted that Kujira is effectively autonomous and sentient on a level at least equal to an intelligent human making her capable of decision making, advice, and conversation should she wish to provide it. The great spirit also has a unique property of sorts that becomes apparent only when a living creature moves through its form—particularly a human. When the aforementioned occurs, the whale generates physical energy, which it can then store for later. Kujira may use this physical energy to solidify its form and influence the physical world if bade to by Kikue, or if it should wish to do so. It should be assumed that Kujira has a measure of physical energy stored at any given time unless it is stated to have exhausted its stores.

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

Jissai no same(_{実際のサメ} 'Actual Sharks').


Description:
Stored in a set of fuinjutsu that have been crystallized by her kekkei genkai, Jissai no same refers to a frenzy of sharks with an exact number that varies. To release them, Kikue simply sends a pulse of chakra through the crystal formation—which she wears on a bracelet on her left wrist—while it is placed in any body of water with sufficient volume to hold the sharks. As mentioned, the exact amount of sharks varies, but this seems to be either because Kikue will find actual frenzies of sharks in the wild, using Kujira, and then seal them, or because she has a static amount of the same sharks sealed separately, but all encapsulated in the small chakra crystal. The reality is it is the latter of the two and she can choose how many sharks exactly she releases at once, while she may also seal them once more in the same manner that one would disperse a summon.

These sharks, while not trained per se, do seem to be attracted to chakra signatures, but will totally ignore Kikue, effectively not recognizing her as prey. As such, Kikue can guide these sharks with jutsu or by simply letting them loose in an area where her opponent's are trapped.

Name of Kekkei Genkai: Tengoku no Tehai(_{天国の手配} 'Heavenly Arrangement').

Clan: Anzen-sei.

Description: An ability passed down to one in three members of the Anzen-sei clan, the Tengoku no Tehai is a kekkei genkai that one might say is similar to crystal release—but they would be wrong in all of the most meaningful ways. While the Anzen-sei's kekkei genkai does focus on crystallization, it is not of a mineral sort, but instead of an energetic variety allowing an inheritor to literally crystallize chakra or energy itself, arranging it into specifically ordered formations for a variety of purposes. This allows an inheritor to simply give chakra a solid form when it otherwise not have one, which can allow the storage of jutsu, effects, and even the creation of specialized tools purely out of crystallized chakra. As such, the Anzen-sei kekkei genkai may either preserve the programming of chakra—typically known as jutsu—or it may destroy it in favor of a different sort of ordered formation. As a result, the Tengoku no Tehai has made the Anzen-sei clan members well known for their ninjutsu, and in particular their inventiveness, not to mention typically exceptional chakra control, which is a side effect of their kekkei genkai, as without such they would be incapable of properly utilizing it. Beyond this there is little else to know, though it is notable that the Anzen-sei's Tengoku no Tehai does not have any traditional or necessarily inherent affinity weaknesses due to its nature.

**It should be noted that while inheritors of the Tengoku no Tehai may have more than one elemental affinity, that their kekkei genkai will only be naturally attuned to their dominant affinity. This essentially means that their kekkei genkai will be far more inefficient when used with any other element.

Custom Jutsu

Name of Technique: Ura Jōshō no Jutsu(_{裏上昇の術} 'Reverse climbing technique').
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu.
Rank: E.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: N/A.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: Using the same principles of the tree climbing technique with sufficient chakra control, the user may cause themselves to be pushed away from something with varying degrees of force depending on the amount of chakra applied.

Weakness: N/A.

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

Name of Technique: Kiyō Sonae(_器用備え 'Dexterous arrangement').
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu.
Rank: D.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: N/A.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: Channeling chakra through one's own muscles, nerves, and other necessary tissues—typically within the arms, wrists and hands—the user enhances their ability to skillfully manipulate objects as well as increasing the speed at which they can do so. This technique should not be utilized for extended periods of time as it causes undue strain on the affected body parts. Despite this, it is relatively useful, and while it is a simple technique based on typical principles, it does require decent chakra control to fully utilize. This may make techniques such as Chakra Flow or other projected chakra-based abilities.

Weakness: Listed above.

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

Name of Technique: Junsei Hairetsu(_純正配列 'Flawless Arrangement').
Type of Jutsu: Kekkei ninjutsu.
Rank: C-S.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: Variable.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: A technique that allows an inheritor of the Tengoku no Tehai kekkei genkai to manipulate the nature and various intricacies of the crystallization process, Junsei Hairetsu facilitates much of the kekkei genkai's use. It is with this technique that an inheritor may dictate the structure of their chakra crystals, thus allowing them to choose if the crystallization will store a jutsu, the properties of a chakra, or will return it to a blank state such as in Junshin Muku. This also allows them to alter the crystalline structure of already crystallized chakra, or to make chakra crystallize into particular formations—it is possible for this to be done without the chakra becoming physical.

Weakness: Sufficient disruption of focus can lead to inconsistencies and greater weakness of crystallized chakra.

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

Name of Technique: Tsukekomu Meirei – Tengoku Kaizen(_{付け込む命令- 天国改善} 'Imposed Order – Heavenly Refinement').
Type of Jutsu: Shape-manipulation; Kekkei ninjutsu.
Rank: S.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: Variable.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: A shape manipulation ninjutsu that capitalizes on a Tengoku no Tehai inheritor's ability to crystallize chakra. This technique is achieved by exuding 'chains' of invisible and incorporeal chakra, which are arranged in crystalline patterns, locking the 'threads' or 'chains' of chakra into one another to create branching pathways of chakra that spread out from the user. These branching crystalline pathways of chakra may be bound to anything in the inheritor's surroundings provided it is either non-elemental, attuned to the user's chakra, or an element which they have an affinity for. This binding is largely irrevocable and will not be revoked unless the user wills it or it is forcibly severed but such is no easy feat as even severing the user's direct connection to the chakra bound to an object, material, or element under their control will not unbind said severed chakra from the material, object, or element in question.

This first aspect of the technique allows an inheritor to control the position and movement of anything bound to these chains of chakra, but the truly notable application of this technique is not this, but rather that it allows the user to crystallize attached materials and substances rapidly and with incredible ease, as well as to have incredibly precise control of all that is bound through the rapid and skillful alteration of the crystalline structure of the 'chains'. However, due to the intricate chakra-control one must possess and the incredible amount of alterations in structure that this technique requires to make it truly viable, it is one that few can use and even fewer may ever master and in addition to this it can make prolonged use of the technique mentally draining. Beyond this it should be known that due to the structure of the technique's chakra pathways and the fact that they bind to physical—and potentially some energetic—substances, any chakra involved in the technique becomes nigh impossible to easily seal or absorb via traditional methods.

Weakness: Figure it out and/or see above.

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

Name of Technique: Ten Meisatsu - Shinjitsu Kyo no Reigai(_{天明察 - 真実虚の例外} 'Heavenly Insight – Truth without exception').
Type of Jutsu: Sensory kekkei ninjutsu.
Rank: S.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: N/A.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: This sensory technique ties directly into Tsukekomu Meirei – Tengoku Kaizen, allowing an inheritor to expand their perception through the same pathways that they likely use for jutsu. Not only does this afford them a greater awareness of their environment, but it also expands an inheritor's understanding of the techniques they utilize by way of the aforementioned technique. Unlike its parent technique, Ten meisatsu is not particularly taxing on an inheritor's mind. The depth of the user's awareness of their surroundings can be increased by depriving the user of their conventional senses—instead allowing them to perceive sound, light, sensation, and even smell through the extended pathways of chakra rather than with their sensory organs. Ten Meisatsu's base state however acts more like a sixth sense, allowing the user to sense the movement, expansion, state, and other properties of the chakra pathways through which their awareness is born. It should be noted that almost any material, energy, or object connected to the pathways of chakra through which this technique flows may be analyzed with exacting precision.

Weakness: The user's expanded perception is channeled through all pathways that are connected to them, as unlike Tsukekomu Meirei, this technique transmit's the user's will like a conduit, and as such must retain a measure of contact with the user.

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

Name of Technique: Yukei Taigen(_有形体現 'Tangible Embodiment').
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu.
Rank: C-B.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: N/A.
Handseals: Three.
Description: Imparting a measure of physical energy and/or chakra to Kujira, Kikue bids her familiar to become as a barrier, solidifying a small portion of its vast body. The affected portion of Kujira's body, during the use of this technique, behaves as if it were flesh—albeit very durable flesh. If Kujira takes damage during the use of this technique, that damage is 'healed' upon Kujira's return to its natural incorporeal state.

Weakness: The technique typically only last for a rather short duration, making it useful to briefly block someone's path, block an attack, or perhaps to crush something beneath Kujira's tremendous simulated weight. Additionally, while damage taken during this technique is healed when it ends, Kujira may be somewhat weakened while the damage remains.

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

Name of Technique: Junsei Sōki(_純正想起 'Flawless Recollection').
Type of Jutsu: Kekkei ninjutsu.
Rank: A.
Range: Chakra contact.
Nature Type: Variable.
Handseals: Four.
Description: Simply put, Junsei Sōki is a technique that utilizes Kikue's kekkei genkai to “recall” and then reform a crystallized version of any technique that Kikue has crystallized in the past 12 hours, with her chakra having the potential to “remember” the correct crystal structures to replicate up to 12 different jutsu. While the technique can be utilized to “copy” almost any technique, the copied techniques may not be functional if she herself lacks the necessary elemental affinit(y/ies) necessary to preform it. Nonetheless, this may allow her to study and properly ascertain the nature of potentially any jutsu she has encountered within a 12 hour period.

Weakness: Included in the technique.

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

Name of Technique: Junshin Muku(_純真無垢 'Tabula Rasa').
Type of Jutsu: Kekkei ninjutsu.
Rank: S.
Range: Chakra contact.
Nature Type: N/A.
Handseals: Three.
Description: Requiring that the user first make physical or chakratic contact with any jutsu—barring techniques that do not utilize chakra—this technique allows an inheritor of the Tengoku no Tehai to crystallize the technique of another and—in the process—alter the imposed order placed on the chakra making up the technique, until it is reduced to its base state, essentially rending the technique null. This does not necessarily allow the user to utilize the chakra that once composed the reduced technique. The speed that a given technique depends on two factors, the first being how much chakra is utilized in the technique, and the second behind how much chakra the inheritor uses to attempt Junshin Muku. If the inheritor uses an equal or greater amount of chakra than the affected jutsu, then the crystallization will be faster, the inverse is also true.

Weakness: Included in the technique.

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

Name of Technique: Suiten no Hari(_水神の針 'Ocean God's Needle.').
Type of Jutsu: Kekkei ninjutsu.
Rank: B.
Range: 50 meters.
Nature Type: Water; Wind.
Handseals: Three.
Description: Using Tsukekomu Meirei – Tengoku Kaizen, the user will gather a fair amount of water into the rough shape of an overly thick spindle, the outer layer of which will then crystallize after which point it will condense, the water being highly pressurized therein, and the construct becoming a much smaller, more dangerous spindle or spike. The user may then launch this construct as a projectile through several possible means, these being raw kinetic energy, a small focused blast of wind chakra, or even a small amount of the spindle exploding backwards.

Additionally, the user may choose to make more than one of these constructs and can also alter the structure of them freely, allowing them to be more or less dense so that they might be used as weapons rather than projectiles. Last, but not least, it should be noted that the user may cause a single construct to split into multiple smaller constructs, all of which remain pressurized. On contact with a target, they will pierced and then the outer casing will shatter, causing the water to rapidly depressurize, resulting in an explosion in which the crystalline fragments of chakra will spread over the various droplets of water, forming blades, essentially creating shrapnel.

Weakness: An individual can dodge, though blocking or hiding behind something is generally more effective. Additionally, causing them to detonate prematurely is useful.

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

Name of Technique: Kami no Maku(_神の幕 'God's curtain').
Type of Jutsu: Kekkei Ninjutsu.
Rank: B.
Range:
Nature Type: Water; Wind.
Handseals: Two.
Description: Providing Kujira with chakra, typically while she is at an altitude high enough to support clouds, Kikue will bid her companion to extend her crystalline chakra through the surrounding atmosphere, drawing—or creating—moisture from the air to form clouds, which will gather and then continue to spread out from Kujira's form at varying rates depending on the amount of clouds already present, the humidity, the location, and of course the amount of chakra provided. This technique, due to its properties, may be utilized to wrest control of existing clouds from nature or to create clouds outright.

Weakness: Kujira acts as the anchoring point for Kikue's control of said clouds, and without her the technique is at the very least significantly more difficult to achieve if not outright impossible.

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

Name of Technique: Nageki no Namida(_嘆きの涙 'Tears of lamentation').
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu.
Rank: C.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: Water.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: A relatively simple technique builds from Kami no maku, Nageki no namida causes even more moisture to accumulate in clouds under the influence of Kami no maku, increasing the weight of the cloud to its breaking point until raindrops are released. Kikue and/or Kujira may control the force of the falling rain, making it a drizzle or a deluge. If allowed to takes it natural course, Nageki no namida will start as a drizzle and gradually become a more and more powerful deluge so long as there is moisture or chakra to sustain the effect. As the rain comes from clouds uncer the control of Kami no maku, they all contain Kikue's chakra.

Weakness: Kujira acts as an anchoring point to allow Kikue control of the clouds and the rain they produce. The technique is significantly more difficult to achieve without the great spirit to aid her.

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

Name of Technique: Chisō o Yaburu(_{地層を破る} 'Break the Strata').
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu.
Rank: A.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: Lightning.
Handseals: 3.
Description: Typically utilized after the use of Kami no Maku—usually with the assistance of Kujira as an origin point—Kikue will channel chakra through the chakra pathways in the clouds, effectively guiding the natural process of lightning formation and then directing it via chakra. As such this allows her to cause and guide the path of naturally potent lightning bolts by first catalyzing their creation. While this does reduce the amount of fine control that she possesses over the path of the natural lightning, it delivers an exceptionally powerful attack with a destination in mind revealing that while she cannot alter the trajectory of these lightning bolts, she can decide where they hit.

Weakness: Affinity weaknesses. DODGE. Some sensory techniques can detect where they lightning will strike.

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

Name of Technique: Mienai Arashi(_{見えない嵐} 'The Unseen Tempest').
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu.
Rank: B.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: Water.
Handseals: Two.
Description: Utilizing her specialized shape-manipulation technique and/or Kujira, Kikue either spreads her influence, or utilizes already established pathways, to create either singular currents or systems of them underwater. The strength of these currents depend on the amount of chakra utilized to create them, but can indeed become so powerful that they could hold most people underwater, or even pull them further and further down—though this force can be turned to other purposes. These currents are typically not at all visible above water and are difficult to discern even with most sensory techniques due to the complexity of Kikue's shape-manipulation technique.

Weakness: Affinity weaknesses, don't be in the water, otherwise figure it out.

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

Name of Technique: Hidoi Megami(_{ひどい女神} 'A Harsh Mistress').
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu.
Rank: A-S.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: Water.
Handseals: Two.
Description: Utilizing her shape-manipulation, Kikue wrests control of a body of water and then uses that control to create waves of varying shapes, sizes that may move at various velocities. This technique can create anything from weak waves of a tide flowing in and out, to tremendous tsunami-size behemoths. Similarly she often utilizes this technique in tangent with Mienai Arashi so as to create even faster and/or more powerful waves.

Weakness: Affinity weaknesses, don't be in or near the water, otherwise figure it out.

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

Name of Technique: Tenrai Katsuryoku(_天来活力 'Divine Breath').
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu.
Rank: A-S.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: Wind.
Handseals: 3.
Description: Either using herself or Kujira as an origin point, Kikue performs the necessary handseals, thus moulding wind chakra and sending it through the crystalline pathways of her shape-manipulation technique—for maximum effectiveness at least—after which point she will use this dispersed wind chakra to manipulate the pressure systems in her and/or Kujira's environments. This allows her to better guide and control the movements of her clouds, to choose the direction in which her rain falls, or to create either gusts or galeforce winds. The larger the area she is manipulating wind within—without somewhat automating the process—the less control she has over the entire system.

Weakness: See above. Additionally, affinity weaknesses. Figure it out.

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

Name of Technique: Ikari no Suijin(_{怒りの水神} 'Wrath of the Ocean God').
Type of Jutsu: Combination ninjutsu; Kekkei ninjutsu; Ninjutsu.
Rank: B-S+
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: Water; Wind; Lightning.
Handseals: Ten.
Description: Essentially bringing to bear the full extent of her power Kikue utilizes all of the tools available to her to create what amounts to the perfect storm. The resultant destruction caused by this technique—especially with prolonged use—is such that she cannot risk using it within 3 miles of civilization, at least not at full power that is. However, due to the sheer power of the technique, Ikari no Suijin requires a certain measure of preparation to execute in addition to a hefty chakra price, even for her. As a direct result of this she is only capable of fully controlling the resulting storm for approximately 15 minutes before it becomes beyond her control. This gives her an operative time of about 10 minutes to fully utilize this technique before she must begin “winding down,” so as to contain the destructive forces involved.

Weakness: See above.

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

Name of Technique: Tengoku e no Hashi(_{天国への橋} 'Bridge to the Heavens').
Type of Jutsu: Kekkei ninjutsu; Supplementary; Pseudo-fuinjutsu.
Rank: S.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: N/A.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: Typically a non-combat technique, Tengoku e no Hashi is an advanced use of an inheritor's shape manipulation, allowing them to create a crystal formation that can be effectively attuned to any chakra signature. Once attuned this crystal will be capable of detecting the signature, or acting as a conduit to the attuned individual's will—though the latter is typically only applicable to inheritors. In essence this allows an inheritor to create one or more of these crystals and then place the elsewhere after which point they may then use them as transmitters, beacons, detection apparatus, or points of origin for their chakra. However, these crystals take roughly five minutes to create and require that an inheritor devote 85% of their total focus on the task lest it fail and their chakra—not to mention effort—will go to waste.

Weakness: Due to the focus and time required to create these apparatus it is generally not utilized in combat. Additionally, while these crystals are at least as durable as steel, they can be destroyed with some measure of effort.

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

Name of Technique: Suijin-kyō(_水神強 'Ocean God's Breath').
Type of Jutsu: Supplementary ninjutsu.
Rank: B.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: Wind; Water.
Handseals: Two.
Description: Using a mixture of her specialized and normal shape-manipulation to control her wind and water affinities, Kikue will draw the necessary elements from the water around her and supplement them with conjured air, to supply her body with much needed oxygen. This technique also cycles out the carbon dioxide when she would otherwise exhale, essentially getting rid of her body's waste products and supplying her with the necessity of air without her ever necessarily using her mouth or nose. This technique also seals her nose so that water or other substances do not enter through that avenue.

Weakness: Entirely supplementary and uses a small continuous amount of chakra so long as it is active.

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

Name of Technique: Toga Kōsui(_都雅河水 'Sinuous stream').
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu or Kekkei ninjutsu.
Rank: C.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: Water.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: Either using normal shape-manipulation or her specialized technique to achieve this effect, Kikue draws forth—or generates—water of varying amounts, which she may then submerge some portion of her body. She may then move this water, and thus her body, with greater ease across surfaces, or through another body of water. This technique is most effective on or in bodies of water.

Weakness: Affinity weaknesses, beyond that, it's up to you to figure it out.

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

Name of Technique: Kara Ichi, ōi Shōjiru(_{から壱多い生じる} 'From one, Many Arise').
Type of Jutsu: Kekkei ninjutsu; Supplementary.
Rank: A.
Range: Contact.
Nature Type: N/A.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: A technique only applicable to items composed of crystallized chakra, this technique allows an inheritor to easily restructure such items with their shape-manipulation, thus turning one weapon into many by way of splitting its mass, as well as then rejoining the constituent sections. In Kikue's case this technique is utilized almost solely on her masterwork, a weapon which was made for her by Kasumi.

Weakness: Requires at least one point of contact with the object in question.

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

Name of Technique: Tsumi no Meiwaku(_罪の迷惑 'The Burden of Sin').
Type of Jutsu: Kekkei ninjutsu.
Rank: C.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: N/A.
Handseals: Three, if any.
Description: Utilized one of two ways, Tsumi no Meiwaku is a technique that requires an inheritor's chakra become affixed to some measure of their target's body. When utilized intentionally, the technique is typically achieved by sending chakra through the ground at an opponent and, on contact, causing it to crystallize rapidly over the surface of their body until they are totally encased. This can be achieved in other ways as well though, and typically is in Kikue's case. It should be noted that Tsumi no Meiwaku may also be utilized to entrap portions of the body rather than the entirety of it. Additionally, once an individual is entirely encased, any attempt to externalizing chakra, will result in the strengthening of their bonds as the chakra will simply crystallize and add to the net density of their prison. This technique may be utilized—at any time—on the user as a last minute defense, and will crystallize far faster than it would when used on another.

Weakness: The technique can be broken out of by way of purely physical means, or may be avoided outright at times depending on its source. There are additional ways that one could break free, but they will be left up to the imagination.

Day 3 - Ominar - 07:20

"Morning Soooooph!" came the cheery, lilting reply (far too cheery for so early in the morning), which was only compounded by the smell of coffee. Nabriales hadn't actually drunk any this morning, and Sophia would be able to clearly tell in his voice that he was not quite as chipper as he normally would be had he already partaken of his favourite caffeineated beverage. Taking the cup, he swirled it gently in his hand for a second and imbued it with a tiny amount of vis, imparting it with both a delightful hazelnut flavour and a more potent energetic effect. As he took a sip, he pointed to Sophia's cup and asked:

"Any flavours you want adding, hon? Maybe a li'l pick-me-up?" He grinned, raising his eyebrows and focusing somewhat intently on her.

"Did you grab any breakfast?" he added as he placed his coffee down on the counter and turned to continue mixing his potion. The steepage was just about perfect, and with a slight swish and flick of his wrist summoned a veritable legion of empty glass vials to the side. Rather than hand-fill them as he normally would, he simply waved his hand and channeled vis into the vials to animate them to do it themselves - there were certain perks to being as inherently magically gifted as he was... Though upon thinking that, he couldn't help but think on just how gifted his sister was and how she'd surpass him likely within a few short years.

Strangely enough, he only felt a swell of pride. He never thought he'd be content to let someone else take the front seat, but looking at her now he realised that he'd rather let her take the reigns. He was perfectly happy where he was now, acting as a guide, a friend - and most importantly - as a brother. It was a touching few moments in his head before he snapped back to reality, expectantly looking for breakfast that she may or may not have brought.

⊰Manifest Anima: Planes Divided⊱

Day 3 - Ominar - 07:00

As the sun eked its way across the horizon and morning broke upon Ominar, Nabriales Taeryn peeked out onto the streets from the interior of his shop and smiled. The very beginning of the day was a time of peace and calm that one rarely found elsewhere in their life, a brief moment for stillness and reflection that would soon be broken by the hustle and bustle of the day like so many raindrops dashing the surface of a still pond. Still, these things were all beautiful in their own right, Nabriales thought, and shook himself from the brief reverie to prepare his store for the day's work.

Even now, many years on, he was proud of the craftsmanship and content of what he'd built - of course, he'd never expected anything less of himself - but it was welcome that he was continually surprised by just how much joy it brought him. Though somewhat small in width, the shop was fairly long - a quirk of the building that suited him just fine - and the angle at which the sun rose caused light to filter through the various vials and philters of potions that sat across the various mahogany shelves. It was a beautiful, vibrant display of colour in scintillating waves that cascaded gently down the length of the building and culminated in the young alchemist himself, who was constantly awash with a rainbow-like aura.

The various tinctures and unguents and remedies lining the walls were just as varied as the corona of colour in which the shop bathed at first light, with potions promising love, guaranteeing truth, and ensuring death at the forefront, but gently giving way to less common potions - to ward dreams from nightmares, to remove fear, to turn one's sexuality. Further back still were vials promising yet more disquieting effects - to curse with poverty, to bless with virility, and one marked troublingly as "to stop death at any cost". Unsurprisingly, the last potion had gathered quite the layer of dust - though the swirling green and black mixture often gave off faint bursts of light to remind its creator that despite its age it had not been rendered even slightly inert.

Nabriales walked slowly down the central aisle, arms outstretched so as to just barely miss the edges of the shelving, and gave a little twirl just before he sat down at his little workshop at the end of the store. Though there were far more modern methods of brewing potions available in this day and age, Nabriales was taught with a cauldron atop a magical flame, and despite his modern sensibilities found it far too odd to use anything other than what he'd been taught - though in truth it had been so long since he'd needed to use it (with the exception of his more extravagant creations) that it was starting to gather a little dust. It took a wave of his hand to clean the thing out, and another to fill it with water and set the fire. He figured he'd break it out for old times' sake, and headed to the back room to go over his various stockpiles of ingredients he'd accrued over the decades he'd had his store set up. There was an inherent warmth and familiarity to alchemical reagents - disgusting as they may be to the uninitiated - that warmed the effeminate alchemist up inside with a heady hit of nostalgia.

He picked out several ingredients, juggling their containers in his arms somewhat as he stumbled back to the counter, before setting them down haphazardly and beginning the delicate busywork of picking out the ingredients and brewing them to extract their vis. Infatuation potions like the one he was brewing smelled differently to everyone - it all depended on what exactly their intentions were with it. He had often used a similar brew to... Persuade some of the less inclined folk that wished for his services, and his nose perceived the brew exactly as that scent - a predator after its prey, visceral and potent in that uniquely male way.

As he saw a silhouette pass by the window of his store and turn towards it, he prepared his best customer service smile.

Naruto: Yoshin (AU)

Yes, all of the canon clans can exist if people want to make characters with them. Depending on which clan, they may be tied to one of the three villages in particular, though. @Valkan

Naruto: Yoshin (AU)

@Innue Hey, so I was thinking of making my character able to transform into a medal rod. So basically he flies up high into the sky, transform and drops towards the target area a.k.a kinetic bombardment. And maybe, during the falling, he can exert more chakra to cut through the air, effectively reducing all the resistance a.k.a more speed more destructive power.



I would need to add a lot of weight to my character for that. But you get the gist of it, just like in the video but enough to level a whole village if not some more.

@Bishop

That would certainly work.

【Nabriales Taeryn】

【Death by Glamour/|\Mind of the Virtuoso】

~"I have a potion for that!"~

Hider

Name: Nabriales Taeryn
Nicknames: Nabri
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Homosexual
Alias: N/A
Age: 350
Apparent Age: Late twenties
Race: Human
Sub-Race/Lineage or Nationality/Specialty: Precursor Descendant

Appearance: Nabriales stands at 5'9" and weighs 170 pounds, a mixture of lean muscle and a small amount of fat. Nabriales is particularly fond of his youthful and somewhat varied appearance - he is adorned with a cracked pair of blue horns ostensibly as a result of his various alchemical tinkerings, and after the mishap that gave him the horns was resolved he elected to keep them as he enjoys the aesthetics of having horns. Through the cracks vis in varying shades of blue or purple can occasionally be seen flaring up, particularly when he brews potions - though also whenever emotions or tensions are high. Additionally, he has a marking just underneath his right eye that seems to indicate a guardian bond between himself and a Prae - though he is particularly reticent about any information regarding such, and merely states that he enjoys the way that the marking looks.

Nabriales can often be found with eccentric clothing, preferring to wear loose-fitting robe-like clothing that gives him maximum fluidity and breathing room. He is known to change the colour of his clothes, or even his entire ensemble, on a whim. His clothing choice is often woefully inadequate for his chosen profession - alchemy - and his colourful drapery is often made moreso by the spills of various reagents, and patches tend to be missing - Nabriales often does not notice this, and as soon as it is pointed out will either change entirely or repair his garment magically.

Of particular note is Nabriales' otherworldly beauty. Precursor descendants are widely recognised as being far more beautiful than ordinary humans - and Nabriales is considered especially beautiful by Precursor standards. Just as many average humans are utterly spellbound and captivated by beings such as Prae, who are seen as angelic, Nabriales looks almost like something out of a story book - his entire ensemble and appearance suggest something fae in origin, somehow both wicked and beautiful - and this otherworldly beauty garners him particular attention among those aesthetically inclined.

When channeling vis throughout his body, Nabriales' skin and horns take on various hues in a scintillating rainbow pattern.


Personality: Nabriales is part narcissist, part egotist, and part downright flirty - he is a man of great pleasure, and often finds it primarily in himself and his actions. Nabriales is, as most of his kind are, a prodigy in the magical arts - and this natural talent has shaped his perceptions of greatness for as long as he has been in this world. Everything always came easily to Nabriales, and he has internalised his easy successes as greatness - though he takes this far less seriously than he is like to let on. He does fundamentally believe that he is on another level, and that the majority of the people that he meets are beneath him, but does so in an endearing sort of way that leaves very little room for misinterpretation - prideful as he may be, he is well aware of his limits and is keenly perceptive of the capabilities of those around him.

Nabriales is also somewhat of a hedonist, preferring to play instead of work. In order to actually get anything done, he tries to mentally categorise as many activities as play as he physically can - and this is usually accomplished by doing everything he can with his whimsical and capricious nature and simultaneously trying to include physical relations in as many of his activities as he thinks he can get away with (which is an awful lot). As a result, Nabriales is an extremely tactile individual, and prefers hands-on contact in as many instances as possible. To many, this is a nuisance initially, but due to his fairly captivating beauty and generally intoxicating demeanour many simply learn that it is the way he works and accept it for what it is - a playful manner of going about what would otherwise be uninteresting.

Nabriales is a homosexual, and is fairly forward with it - even if it is not immediately obvious from sight alone, his interactions with any male that shows the slightest hint of interest very quickly confirm it. He is well-known for his habit of bedding people as often as possible, especially those that he has business dealings with, as he considers intimate relations the sign of a deal well-struck. If confronted about his behaviour, he is quick to apologise for any overstepped boundaries but will absolutely not tone down his flirtatious nature, and depending on the nature of the rejection will take it as a personal challenge to get what he wants. Due to his profession and innate alchemical skill, it is not usually out of the question that he gets precisely what he wants - a feat that amuses him to no end.

In general, Nabriales is a flirty, bubbly individual that delights in his own pleasure and the pleasure of others, and will seek to be the life of any party he happens to wander into. Fortunately, he considers life to be one big party.

Stash of Crystal Vials - True to the Taeryn line, Nabriales is capable of crafting crystals from pure vis. He has created several crystals, one for each colour of the rainbow, that he has sculpted into alchemical flasks to contain the various brews he creates. Due to the intrinsically magical nature of the flasks, any potions kept inside them do not lose in potency over time and will never expire. Nabriales treasures these vials, and typically uses them only for the most potent alchemical creations that he can muster, or for very close friends/relatives.

The Alkahest - Nabriales has synthesised an extremely potent solvent that he calls the Alkahest, named after the mythical universal solvent. The Alkahest is kept within a vial lined with runic magic that prevents the Alkahest from ever touching the sides and suspends the liquid in midair, preventing anything from interacting with it or vice-versa. Nabriales is capable of manipulating the liquid with his vis, which will rapidly dissolve almost any substance that it touches, excepting that which has a great deal of imbued vis. The vial of Alkahest is capable of dissolving an entire human body within 60 seconds, down to 5 seconds if the human is dead.

Generic water filled vials - Nabriales has a stock room in his store (Victorious Secret) filled with generic glass vials filled with water that each have a rune emblazoned upon them that allow him to summon them to his hands at a moment’s notice.

Alchemy / Potion Making [Imprinted]

Nabriales is an exceptionally gifted alchemist, in part due to his status as a Precursor Descendant and in part due to natural talent. He has studied Alchemy for an extremely long time, focusing almost entirely upon it, and as a result is able to make any common potion merely with his vis alone (along with some special potions of his own creation) - rarer and more exceptional potions still require certain rare ingredients, but he is adept at making the most of them and providing only the highest quality of product when finished.

Crystals [Imprinted]

Vis Crystals of various types are used as currency for the five families. Because of this, the ability to make them has been passed down through the generations. Nabriales is only able to make crystals that do not have a particular element to them, but is particularly adept at the manipulation of their shape and can create fairly large crystals when given time and energy.


The Sight [Imprinted]

A unique adaptation in the human Ostium, the Sight is a genetically transferable trait that allows an individual not only to perceive vis visually, but to see its presence in all things. While humans are capable of learning to perceive vis to some degree, the Sight is something else entirely. The differences are twofold, with the first difference being that it must be inherited or otherwise genetically activated; while the second is the Sight’s ability to not only perceive vis, but to perceive it all the way down to the deepest level. This essentially allows an individual to see reality in its constituent parts; represented in their purest, most accurate form--at least insofar as the mortal experience is concerned.

However, despite the incredible abilities of this genetic ability, the Sight is not without its weaknesses. For most humans, particularly, the Sight takes a great toll on the body and the mind, as it allows an individual to take in far more information than the human brain is designed to handle in a given period of time. Reates, even with his enhanced physicality, is plagued by this issue, essentially forcing him to somewhat limit his Sight barring brief uses or exceptional circumstances. This is also uniquely troublesome for Reates due to the fact that his Sight is significantly more potent than that of most humans who develop it--Precursor Descendants excepted.

It should be noted that humans who are born, or who awaken the Sight via genetic tampering, will not gain the inherent understanding of what they are perceiving or how to control it. This, coupled with the Sight being ludicrously rare in the vast majority of humanity, makes it perhaps one of the most mysterious, and certainly powerful, forms of inherently magical traits.
The Mechanics of the Sight

The difference between normal humans and humans with the Sight is thus: Humans with the Sight have exceptionally broad channels of their Ostium that directly interface with their eyes, naturally projecting from, and pulling vis into, the eyes. These broad vis channels, in Sight-inheriting humans, are structured almost identically to the vis channels of a powerful mage's Ostium, though with small alterations. These alterations, rather than allow the individual to use spells by coding vis with intention, or altering the patterns that it follows, instead allow the individual to "shift" the amount of detail and "depth" they can see when observing vis. This ability differentiates a Sight-inheritor from a normal human. This is due to the fact that, despite their ability to broaden the vis channels in their eyes so as to perceive vis, they cannot give those vis channels the ability to differentiate the same level of detail/depth as a Sight-Inheritor could.

Note: Precursor Descendant "Sight" is generally better due to the fact that their "second Ostium," stores the necessary genetic information to properly interpret the information brought in by the Sight. Furthermore, the ability has a 50% (or so) chance of being inherited by their children, with a lesser 30% chance of the Sight being properly potent in said offspring. In addition to this ability to interpret the information somewhat intuitively--provided they try to delve into the Sight's use--a Precursor can imprint their Sight again so as to increase the intuitive grasp of generations to come.

Vis Sense [Not Imprinted]
The ability to sense, or feel vis in one's surroundings. Nabriales’ non-imprinted version is strong enough to allow him to sense the different races' vis, but only on a very cursory level. His Vis Sense is tuned enough to detect the vis within objects, however.

Teleportation [Imprinted]
Nabriales is particularly skilled at teleportation magic - he is able to teleport himself and up to two other people to any location on Medius that he has visited before or has a detailed map of and feel for the ambient vis in the location (which is largely restricted to areas he knows, such as Ominar or the compound). Nabriales’ specialty also extends to teleporting objects marked with runes, though this specifically requires preparation and can only really be used on objects that he has personally invested vis into.

Elements: Fire, Light [Not Imprinted]
Nabriales is capable of casting novice to intermediate level fire and light spells, as well as imbuing objects with their properties or creating minor vis constructs from those two elements. It is an art that he struggles with somewhat, and often neglects to use except to apply heat when making potions.

Relationships / Friendships:

Sophia Taeryn

Nabriales and Sophia have a close relationship, having maintained at least weekly contact for as long as they have been in Ominar. Nabriales recognises Sophia's extreme potential and is keen to continue to teach her magic as he did when they were children - but he realises that soon it will be her having to teach him. The pair work very well together, and always attempt to make time for one another at least once a week. Nabriales also gives Sophia the Family discount of 100% (which he doesn't do for any other member of his family).

The imprinted version of this ability allows Nabriales to pick out ingredients for potion making with startling accuracy and efficiency, as well as offering him a natural insight into the nature and properties of any vis-laden object that he sees, though when not applied to alchemy this insight is quite limited.

Vis Sense [Not Imprinted]
The ability to sense, or feel vis in one's surroundings. Nabriales’ non-imprinted version is strong enough to allow him to sense the different races' vis, but only on a very cursory level. His Vis Sense is tuned enough to detect the vis within objects, however.

Teleportation [Imprinted]
Nabriales is particularly skilled at teleportation magic - he is able to teleport himself and up to two other people to any location on Medius that he has visited before or has a detailed map of and feel for the ambient vis in the location (which is largely restricted to areas he knows, such as Ominar or the compound). Nabriales’ specialty also extends to teleporting objects marked with runes, though this specifically requires preparation and can only really be used on objects that he has personally invested vis into.

Elements: Fire, Light [Not Imprinted]
Nabriales is capable of casting novice to intermediate level fire and light spells, as well as imbuing objects with their properties or creating minor vis constructs from those two elements. It is an art that he struggles with somewhat, and often neglects to use except to apply heat when making potions.

【Chakra Nature(s)】

Katon [Primary], Suiton [Secondary], Doton [Tertiary]

【Abilities and Special Traits】
Shien is an extremely accomplished sensor-nin, able to pinpoint even miniscule changes in personnel from several miles away – this is due in part to her extremely fine chakra control, her doujutsu, and the artificial Kekkei Tota that she has been gifted by Yggdrasil.

Shien has absurdly fine chakra control due to her Kekkei Tota and many years of practice within the specialised training grounds of Kyokujitsugakure.

Shien has a very average-sized chakra pool, but possesses enormous longevity due to the nature of her techniques.

Shien is adept at Taijutsu, and has much experience in covert operations due to the nature of her post.

【Kekkei Genkai】

Name of Kekkei Genkai: Seitaigan [Life Detection Eye]
Clan: Kōgōsei
Description: The Seitaigan allows its bearers to finely detect the structure of chakra and fluid movement within physical objects, giving them a sort of x-ray vision to do so. The vision of chakra that they possess is far superior to even that of the Byakugan’s, allowing them to discern as much as the balance of spiritual and physical energy in the chakra and to finely map out how the chakra comprises any jutsu it may be used with.

The Seitaigan has historically been an important farming tool, as it allows its bearers to very accurately detect the presence of life due to its reliance on water, and allows them to diagnose any potential issues with plant life almost instinctively, but its powers of observation were noted also to apply to chakra.

Other than providing incredible clarity, the Seitaigan does not afford its user any form of ocular prowess such as telescopic vision, or the powers of the Eye of Insight that the Sharingan offers – its applications are largely restricted to analysis of systems in favourable conditions, and it is often not enormously helpful during battle, except in the same way that all doujutsu able of sensing chakra are.

Name of Kekkei Tota: Kyokujitsu no Hikari [Light of the Rising Sun]
Rank: S
Clan: N/A, granted by Yggdrasil a small number of times each generation.

Description: The bearer of the Kyokujitsu no Hikari is gifted with a unique and powerful affinity to three elements, each of which creates a small "sun" made of the correspondingly coloured chakra around the user. Proficient users such as Shien she are able to effortlessly keep all three suns of all three elements floating around them at all times.

The first sun is made of Katon chakra, and glows with a brilliant orange light. The Katon sun, being made of pure Katon chakra, will burn whatever it touches and is able to utilise the power of Katon chakra.

The second sun is made of Suiton chakra, and glows with a brilliant blue light. The Suiton sun's light nourishes those it comes into contact with, and has the power to extinguish Katon jutsu.

The final sun is made of Doton chakra, and is a dull yellow. Its light permeates the ground and alters its composition, allowing the user to affect terrain.

The main source of the Kekkei Tota's power is its ability to combine the various lights to blend their effects, as well as controlling vast areas of terrain with the suns. The user of this Kekkei Tota is able to use all three elemental affinities with great proficiency by channeling their jutsu through the light of the suns.

Shien is naturally immune to all negative effects of the Suns’ light, and is treated as if they have every Boon for every colour of light at all times.

【Custom Jutsu】

Name of Technique: Taiyōkō no Giman [Sunlight Deception]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: B
Range: 50 feet
Nature Type: Katon; Suiton; Doton

Description: By tethering any of her suns to an appendage with a cord of chakra, Shien is able to fling the sun outwards fifty feet at a pace of 15 feet per second. The sun then returns to her, but will follow her to her location. Enemies hit by the sun suffer the brunt of its effects, which are empowered by the technique. Shien may also break the tether at any point along the technique, leaving the sun there.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Kyokusei no Jutsu [Polarisation Technique]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: A
Range: Potentially Infinite provided Shien has access to the source of light.
Nature Type: Katon; Suiton; Doton

Description: By utilising her unbelievably fine chakra control, Shien polarises light from any source she has direct access to, allowing her to control where it is shined, as well as other factors relating to the emission of light. She is able to discern where any source of light is coming from with this technique. In addition, the light from her suns can be polarised on the same level as defenses such as sunglasses, allowing her to bypass the defenses easily.

Shien can polarise the light of her suns so that only those with the Seitaigan are able to see its rays, but its effects will still be applied.

Weakness: N/A

Name of Technique: Shidō no Kyokujitsu [Rising Suns’ Guidance]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: A
Range: Potentially infinite
Nature Type: Katon; Suiton; Doton

Description: Shien’s control over light sources allows her to increase their intensity of their light vastly, allowing her to do simple things such as illuminate a room more powerfully, or boost the power of light-based techniques. In addition to intensifying them, the technique allows her to completely extinguish them should she have direct access to them.

Weakness: N/A

Name of Technique: Uchi no Hikari [The Light Within]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: S+
Range: 15 feet initially; Potentially infinite
Nature Type: Katon; Suiton; Doton

Description: Shien draws one of the suns into her own body, becoming a living conduit for its power – she gains the beneficial aspect of the sun that she absorbs, and is able to project both the negative and positive aspects through touch.

Shien can consume the sun within her to immediately use Hikari no Eien at half its range and radius, but becomes unable to form the consumed sun or its constituent suns for the next hour.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Red Sun

Name of Technique: Akai Taiyō no Yoake [Dawn of the Red Sun]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: A
Range: Personal
Nature Type: Katon

Description: Akai Taiyō no Yoake causes Shien to create an additional Red Sun identical to the one in her Kekkei Tota. This allows her to place suns in remote locations, or even wield them as weapons while maintaining the functionality of her suns.

Weakness: N/A

Name of Technique: Akai Taiyō no Onkei [Boon of the Red Sun]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Range: 15 feet initially; Potentially infinite
Nature Type: Katon

Description: Shien gives the blessing of the Red Sun to an ally, marking them with finely attuned Katon chakra. For as long as they are marked, any negative effects suffered by standing in the presence of the Red Sun’s light are reversed, becoming positive effects.

Allies standing in the Red Sun’s light are innervated with a gentle warmth that boosts their Taijutsu capacity, and partially shields them from enemy Katon techniques.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Akai Taiyō no Hikari [Light of the Red Sun]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: A
Range: 100 feet
Nature Type: Katon

Description: Akai Taiyō no Hikari causes all Red Suns to shine fiercely with red light infused with Katon chakra. Humans exposed to the red light are burned by its radiance, and the lingering Katon chakra causes any further Katon jutsu that come into contact with them to flare up, increasing their potency significantly.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Blue Sun

Name of Technique: Aoi Taiyō no Yoake [Dawn of the Blue Sun]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: A
Range: Personal
Nature Type: Suiton; Yin

Description: Aoi Taiyō no Yoake causes Shien to create an additional Blue Sun identical to the one in her Kekkei Tota. This allows her to place suns in remote locations, or even wield them as weapons while maintaining the functionality of her suns.

Weakness: N/A

Name of Technique: Aoi Taiyō no Hikari [Light of the Blue Sun]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: A
Range: 100 feet
Nature Type: Suiton; Yin

Description: Aoi Taiyō no Hikari causes all Blue Suns to shine fiercely with blue light.

The blue light is heavily imbued with Suiton chakra, which significantly dampens the effect of any Katon techniques but increases the potency of Raiton techniques within its range. Humans standing in the blue light are imbued with excess Suiton chakra, preventing them from using Katon techniques, and are made extremely sluggish by the excess Suiton chakra, doubling the time it takes to use Jutsu requiring the moulding of chakra.

Plants in the blue light are given optimal levels of hydration at all times, increasing their hardiness and making them impossible to destroy with Katon chakra.

Weakness: N/A

Name of Technique: Aoi Taiyō no Onkei [Boon of the Blue Sun]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Range: 15 feet initially; Potentially infinite
Nature Type: Suiton; Yin

Description: Shien gives the blessing of the Blue Sun to an ally, marking them with finely attuned Suiton chakra. For as long as they are marked, any negative effects suffered by standing in the presence of the Blue Sun’s light are reversed, becoming positive effects.

Allies standing in the Blue Sun’s light are instead empowered by the Suiton chakra, hastening their natural processes and invigorating their mind. Allies are able to perform techniques without handsigns (though they must still mould the chakra internally), and are able to use Suiton techniques instantly and Katon techniques at half of the speed they would normally use them.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Yellow Sun

Name of Technique: Kiiroi Taiyō no Yoake [Dawn of the Yellow Sun]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: A
Range: Personal
Nature Type: Doton

Description: Aoi Taiyō no Yoake causes Shien to create an additional Yellow Sun identical to the one in her Kekkei Tota. This allows her to place suns in remote locations, or even wield them as weapons while maintaining the functionality of her suns.

Weakness: N/A

Name of Technique: Kiiroi Taiyō no Hikari [Light of the Yellow Sun]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: A
Range: 100 feet
Nature Type: Doton

Description: Kiiroi Taiyō no Hikari causes all Yellow Suns to shine fiercely with yellow light.

The yellow light is imbued heavily with Doton chakra, which significantly increases the weight of all humans within it, making it significantly harder for them to move and draining stamina at an exceptional rate.

Weakness: N/A

Name of Technique: Kiiroi Taiyō no Onkei [Boon of the Yellow Sun]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Range: 15 feet initially; Potentially infinite
Nature Type: Doton

Description: Shien gives the blessing of the Yellow Sun to an ally, marking them with finely attuned Doton chakra. For as long as they are marked, any negative effects suffered by standing in the presence of the Blue Sun’s light are reversed, becoming positive effects.

Allies standing in the Yellow Sun’s light are instead lightened, making them more limber and increasing their overall stamina.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Purple Sun

Name of Technique: Sōdai Shūsoku: Murasaki Taiyō no Hikari [Grand Convergence: Light of the Purple Sun]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: A
Range: Potentially infinite
Nature Type: Katon; Suiton

Description: Sōdai Shūsoku: Murasaki Taiyō no Hikari condenses a Blue sun and a Red sun into a single Purple sun. This sun shares both Suiton and Katon chakra natures, but does not carry the properties of either the blue sun or the red sun. The purple sun emits purple light in a 100 foot radius. Additionally, whenever the light from a Red and Blue sun mix, they transform into purple light.

Humans within the purple light are marked with a combination of Katon and Suiton chakra, which illuminates strongly in the presence of chakra. Humans that stand within the Purple Light are immediately revealed and any chakra-based illusions that may be obscuring their form are stripped away for as long as they remain within the light. While within the purple light, chakra cannot be moved externally from the body, preventing the use of many Ninjutsu.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Murasaki Taiyō no Onkei [Boon of the Purple Sun]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Range: 15 feet initially; Potentially infinite
Nature Type: Katon; Suiton

Description: Shien gives the blessing of the Purple Sun to an ally, marking them with finely attuned Katon and Suiton chakra. For as long as they are marked, any negative effects suffered by standing in the presence of the Purple Sun’s light are reversed, becoming positive effects, and they gain the ability to create a Purple Sun for themselves, whose light shines in a ten foot radius.

Allies standing in the Purple Sun’s light are instead wholly cloaked from conventional sensing methods, including Doujutsu, Sensor-nin, and eyesight, but cannot actively use jutsu while within the light or the effect will fade.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Orange Sun

Name of Technique: Sōdai Shūsoku: Daidai Taiyō no Hikari [Grand Convergence: Light of the Orange Sun]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank:
Range:
Nature Type: Suiton; Doton
Handseals:

Description: Sōdai Shūsoku: Midori Taiyō no Hikari condenses a Blue sun and a Yellow sun into a single Orange sun. This sun shares both Suiton and Doton chakra natures, but does not carry the properties of either the blue sun or the yellow sun.

Whenever a human or an object with chakra is in the Orange Light, any chakra that is externalized from their body/form is split into its constituent energies and drawn into the sun. Fuuinjutsu within the orange light are corroded quickly, and any Ninjutsu that enter the light dissipate – though depending on the size of the technique, some may reach the targets before the light dissipates it entirely.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Daidai Taiyō no Onkei [Boon of the Orange Sun]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Range: 15 feet initially; Potentially infinite
Nature Type: Katon; Doton

Description: Shien gives the blessing of the Orange Sun to an ally, marking them with finely attuned Katon and Suiton chakra. For as long as they are marked, any negative effects suffered by standing in the presence of the Orange Sun’s light are reversed, becoming positive effects, and they gain the ability to create a Orange Sun for themselves, whose light shines in a ten foot radius.

Allies gain any chakra that is dispersed within the Orange Sun’s light, and are able to externalise chakra freely.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Green Sun

Name of Technique: Sōdai Shūsoku: Midori Taiyō no Hikari [Grand Convergence: Light of the Green Sun]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank:
Range:
Nature Type: Suiton; Doton
Handseals:

Description: Sōdai Shūsoku: Midori Taiyō no Hikari condenses a Blue sun and a Yellow sun into a single Green sun. This sun shares both Suiton and Doton chakra natures, but does not carry the properties of either the blue sun or the yellow sun.

Whenever a human or an object with chakra is in the Green Light, their chakra is leached from their body and drawn into the ground, where it nurtures any surrounding plant life.

Plants in the green light are invigorated, allowing them to regenerate any damage and restoring them to peak efficiency if they have been damaged in any way.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Midori Taiyō no Onkei [Boon of the Green Sun]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Range: 15 feet initially; Potentially infinite
Nature Type: Suiton; Doton

Description: Shien gives the blessing of the Green Sun to an ally, marking them with finely attuned Doton and Suiton chakra. For as long as they are marked, any negative effects suffered by standing in the presence of the Green Sun’s light are reversed, becoming positive effects, and they gain the ability to create a Green Sun for themselves, whose light shines in a ten foot radius.

Allies standing in the Green Sun’s light are instead invigorated, the chakra of the sun flowing into their body and rejuvenating them on a cellular level. If an ally has the Boon of the Green Sun, any other ally made use any medical Ninjutsu on them from any distance with a reduced chakra cost.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

White Sun

Name of Technique: Zen Iro no Reimei [All Colours’ Dawn]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: S+
Range: Personal
Nature Type: Katon; Suiton; Doton
Handseals:

Description: Zen Iro no Reimei consumes all existing suns, including extant suns created by the Boon techniques, and forms a single White Sun that emits light in a 100 foot radius.

The White Light has all of the effects of all colours of light, with the additional effect of evaporating any water within its range – humans die from being within the light after approximately an hour.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Zen Iro no Onkei [All Colours’ Boon]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: A
Range: 15 feet initially; Potentially infinite
Nature Type: Katon; Suiton; Doton

Description: Shien gives the blessing of the White Sun to any number of allies, granting them the positive effects of each of the colours of light and preventing the White Sun from affecting their water.

Only six allies can have the boon at a time, not including Shien who is naturally immune to all negative effects of the White Sun.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Hikari no Eien [Light Everlasting]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: S+
Range: 15 feet initially; Potentially infinite
Nature Type: Katon; Suiton; Doton

Description: Shien takes a sun of any colour, and kneads 10% of her chakra into it for each colour that it possesses (10% for Blue, Red, and Yellow, 20% for Orange, Purple, and Green, 60% for White). The effects of Hikari no Eien do not apply to individuals with the Boon of the respective Sun used (except the Blue sun).

Shien then takes the energy of the sun and condenses it, then turns it into an enormous beam that she then fires, 2 meters in radius and 1 mile long, with different effects dependent on the Sun used:

Red: Creates a vortex of heat and kinetic energy that explodes outwards viciously, scorching everything within its path. Shien can double the potency of this technique by halving its range, and can do this any number of times.

Blue: Creates a wave of restorative Suiton-aspected chakra, healing every human within its radius to the best of the chakra’s ability – if used in the presence of a medical ninja, becomes significantly more effective.

Yellow: Creates a beam that grinds all inanimate matter in its path to dust (does not include any form of life). Objects with significant chakra are only mildly affected by the beam.

Orange: Creates a beam that disperses all external chakra within its range, immediately ending the effects of any jutsu that it comes across by cleaving the chakra into its constituent energies. Any chakra cleaved in this fashion is absorbed by the beam, converted into its chakra, and contributes to the power of the beam.

Purple: Creates a beam that infuses all light in the surrounding area with chakra, twisting it to cloak allies and rendering enemies within the beam blind for sixty seconds. Shien is able to use her various light-affecting techniques freely within the range that the beam occupied for the next hour.

Green: Creates a beam that accelerates the growth of all plants it touches massively, giving them such increased growth that they are easily able to grow to three or four times their normal size.

White: Creates a beam that kills all life it comes into contact with if contact with the light is maintained for at least 5 seconds (7 seconds is required to kill people). The ground is left barren and scorched, all buildings in its radius crumble to dust and all water is removed from the area.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

【Personality】
Kinuko is a person blessed with both an icy temperament and demeanour, as persistent as the harsh winds of winter and equally as frigid. Kinuko initially comes across as a cold, unfeeling person who is willing to put everything aside for what she wants. It seems that she favours a goal-oriented approach and that the end justifies the means, and in doing so, that she does not place a particularly high value on human lives or the pristine code of ethics that societies try to base themselves upon. This, like much about Kinuko, is not necessarily as it seems. Kinuko is as stoic and implacable as a statue, and this steely demeanour echoes deeply into the depths of her psyche - but despite her resolute nature, she is not cold or unforgiving. Kinuko firmly believes in the cyclical nature of all things, that every action has an equal and opposite reaction, and despite her goal-oriented methods, what she truly favours above all else is the notion of balance.

While possessed of a determination to succeed surpassed by only the most influential and powerful of people, Kinuko will never violate her core set of principles in order to achieve her goals, as her principles are among the few things that she holds sacrosanct above all else in her life. For every action she takes that brings forth a change in a system, she will take appropriate actions to counteract the shift in balance that she has caused. With that in mind, it is important to note that Kinuko's sense of perspective is far greater than most can ever claim - and while her actions may seem to violate her self-imposed tenets at times, it is likely that she is following a design even more grand than what she lets on.

While balance is certainly the core upon which Kinuko's being revolves, how that equates to her general demeanour is a significantly more demanding question. She appears to be stoic and emotionless, speaking only when necessary, but this is merely a front that her actions and non-actions might not disrupt any tentative balances that she becomes involved in. Kinuko's emotions vary wildly, from deeply passionate and smouldering, to worried for her future and for the balance as a whole, to being utterly consumed by one of the less virtuous emotions - but her front only ever shows the cold apathy that is associated with her in order to preserve her most treasured tenet.

Kinuko will often speak only when spoken to, or when necessary information must be disseminated, but she often feels strongly about situations that she is placed into. She will not reveal how she feels for fear of disrupting the balance, but when an opportunity arises to show her true feelings and keep the balance, or even take appropriate actions to counteract her initial action, she will not hesitate to speak exactly what she feels. Kinuko lacks a certain sense of tact that the more eloquent in the world are proficient in, and rather than act recklessly, she chooses to be apathetic. This lack of tact does not mean that Kinuko lacks the ability to perceive when tact is necessary, however, and Kinuko is one of the most level-headed, tactical and reasonable thinkers of a generation - despite her refusal to say things in half measures, she knows that they are appropriate and have their uses, and is adept at understanding the social subtext that can typically go unnoticed - it is, however, a game that she refuses to play despite knowing how.

【Chakra Nature(s)】
Oriton [Weave Release]

【Abilities and Special Traits】
Kinuko is an exceptionally skilled user of Kenjutsu, having trained rigorously in the arts all of her life. Her introduction to the craft was initially peaceful in nature, as a form of meditation and rigorous self-discipline, and due to this her grasp of the fundamentals of Kenjutsu are extremely high. Later in her life, she began using it as an offensive tool, and has practiced rigorously ever since. The only blade she has ever used in her life is Hanashi, which has lead to a great deal of familiarity with her style, and an exceptional level of comfort with the blade that only the most exceptional of Kenjutsu users can claim.

Kinuko is skilled in her clan’s Kekkei Genkai, having saved several ancient texts from destruction that furthered her knowledge on its usage. She has studied the ancient knowledge diligently over many years, and has achieved a level of mastery in it that few members of her clan have ever achieved since the lost glory days of the Yuganori.

Kinuko has a fairly large chakra pool due to her clan’s way of life - heavily invested in mental and physical discipline, which naturally bestows upon its members a large pool of energy.

Kinuko’s chakra control is extremely fine due to years upon years of constant diligence and practice, aided by the old knowledge that she pilfered from the Yuganori before defecting.

Kinuko is not particularly naturally intelligent, but has gained a rather large pool of knowledge from her constant studies. She prides herself on having a moderate capacity to learn backed with an intense dedication and desire to succeed, which has left her quite wise for her age. Kinuko is, however, a prodigious thinker - her capacity to learn is not overly great, but her ability to analyse situations is extremely strong, and she is logical to the extreme, allowing for impressive displays of tactics not befitting her station.



【History】
The Yuganori clan are one of the few able to claim an unbroken lineage from time immemorial, which has lead them to have a more rich and diverse history than others. Most of this history is too old to be remembered, or too new to truly be history, but there are feats and stories within the clan that did truly make history.

From its initial conception, the Yuganori clan was made of like-minded people who had an interest in perfecting the arts of creating fine textiles - typically with silk - when the world was largely bereft of such finery. As has always been the case, those with power desired the finer things in life to prove their superiority, and so the Yuganori created for themselves a purpose and a niche in the unforgiving world of peasants and nobles. Over time, their fame and renown grew, and more people asked of their silks - but while its founders were masters of their crafts, their children had not yet blossomed into their talent, and the demand posed upon them could not be answered promptly. At this point, however, the clan was renowned enough that people were willing to wait, and the clan realised the power that the avarice of the world had given them.

From these days onwards, the clan became more regimented in how it trained its young, for they were determined not to succumb to the same avarice that had risen them up lest it be their eventual downfall. Their children were given a sense of balance and of purpose, and honed thoroughly in their crafts from a young age that the demands for fine clothing and arts could be fulfilled. The continued patronage of various nobility had made the clan fairly wealthy - but their founders' sense of well-roundedness and balance had managed to persist and the clan was far from greedy - the money was aptly used to secure their place in the world, and to help those beneath them who had not yet found their niche.

The tides of history often change without rhyme or reason, and so did they change one fateful day when the nobility no longer required the Yuganori's patronage. The Yuganori were, by this point, relatively noble in and of themselves, but the change in the world did not bode well for their propensity for large funds. They turned their expertise inwards, towards the clans that surrounded them, and offered their services not for money, but for training. This relationship with the other clans quickly grew strong, and soon the clan of craftsmen were as trained for warfare as any of the other clans.

Unlike in most stories, there was no great dissent between the Yuganori and its compatriots - perhaps why they have an unbroken lineage - but as the clan persisted, the times that had founded it and enabled its existence as it was did not. In time, the pursuit of warfare became more and more important, and the Yuganori began to specialise in this regard. With the help of their allies, innovations the like of which have not been seen for ages were made and stored within silken scrolls, that their knowledge might persevere if nothing else did, and all prospered.

When war struck, the Yuganori suffered very few casualties, though their friends and allies did not share such a fortunate fate. Time once again moved on, thinning the other clans but allowing the Yuganori to remain as they always had been. Still, not all things are as they seem, and poor choices in leadership led to the decline of the Yuganori's persistently high fortune. While the clan had largely been kept free of the impurities of sin that its founders had so desperately tried to avoid, their influence was inevitable. Sin crept through the clan's leadership, and as the ages passed their lineage remained the only thing pure about them.

Yuganori, Kinuko was the first bright light the clan had seen since the golden age of the clan. She was a well-rounded individual who saw the balance in all things, as the clan had done in the past, and the sin that gripped the clan's leadership made her shudder. As she grew up, she made efforts to keep her opinion free from bias, and she studied the ancient lore eagerly. In the light of her studies, the leadership determined that they would sell the few priceless artifacts that the clan had retained in order to bolster the state of their coffers. Kinuko refused to allow that to happen, taking the silk-sealed scrolls and the fabled sword Hanashi from the vault in the dead of night and fleeing with them, to a place where her clan could not defile them with sin.

This is where the written history of Kinuko ends, but there is more history in the world than what is written down.



【Weapons, Tools and Equipment】

Name of Weapon or Item: Hanashi [Death Blossom]
Location: Yuganori, Kinuko
Owner: Yuganori, Kinuko
Rank: A

Description: The Hanashi is a priceless artifact of the Yuganori clan that was saved from destruction by Kinuko when she chose to leave her clan.

Hanashi is a katana that is fairly unique among katana as it does not have a blade permanently attached to it. There is an elaborate seal engraved onto the guard in the rough shape of a spider with curved legs, arranged so that the gap where the blade would be is correspondent to the thorax of the spider, and the legs reach to the edges of the square guard to form its boundaries. When Oriton chakra is introduced to the seal, it forms a symbiotic link with the user that allows the user to weave their Oriton chakra through the blade.

Kinuko is proficient with the blade, and is able to create blades made of her silk that are surprisingly sharp due to their chakra content. The blades are flammable and can be cut by sufficiently well-made blades with a higher chakra content than Hanashi’s.

The primary power of the Hanashi lies within the Yuganori clan’s ability to weave seals into the materials that it creates. The user is able to create blades that are imbued with very specific powers and discard them when necessary in order to create additional blades. Hanashi also has the intrinsic property of being able to weave Oriton chakra into anything that comes into contact with the seal, however, and blades can be created of any solid or liquid material if they are easily permeable to chakra.

A little-known ability of the blade is its ability to combat and harmonise with other seals - it is able to weave Oriton chakra through a seal and create a blade imbued with the same power as the seal, removing it from its source in the process. In the same vein, it can also imbue other materials with seals by weaving its fibres through the object in question.



【Kekkei Genkai】

Oriton [Weave Release]

Name of the Kekkei Genkai: Oriton [Weave Release]

Type of Kekkei Genkai: Bodily Modification; Ninjutsu; Fuuinjutsu

Clan: Yuganori

Rank: A

Description: The Oriton is a complex Kekkei Genkai as it has two aspects to it - the first aspect of the Oriton grants its users the ability to create a unique type of chakra comprised of the Suiton and Doton natures that takes the form of silk or other fibrous materials. The second aspect, by far the more complex of the two, causes its users to have sets of silk glands within their body at key locations, such as the wrists and ankles. The silk glands are infused heavily with the Oriton chakra, and are able to create a vast number of materials and thread them together - in advanced cases, this can be used to mix multiple types of materials together to create a single weave, which contains the properties of both materials used.

Typically, the Oriton is used to create silks, which have a strong tensile strength and are extremely malleable, and can do so with enough complexity that the fibres can be arranged in such a pattern that Fuuinjutsu can be woven into them. By changing how the fibres are woven and restructuring the silk, different abilities and effects can be conferred onto them in order to best suit the user’s purposes.

Weakness: The Oriton is a demanding Kekkei Genkai to use and master, requiring almost constant attention and discipline to be used effectively. For this reason, it is very rare to see its users performing other kinds of ninjutsu or genjutsu.

Basic Academy Techniques

【Custom Jutsu】

Name of Technique: Tenchi [Heaven and Earth]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Range: Personal
Nature Type: N/A
Handsigns: N/A

Description: The user becomes adept at sensing the presence of the internal chakra system within a range of thirty feet (radius) around themselves. The user also becomes adept at sensing the displacement of air, and sensing vibrations through the ground, making it very difficult to sneak up on them or otherwise catch them off guard.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Kyōsei Keiyaku Kuchiyose no Jutsu [Forced Contract Summoning Technique]
Type of Jutsu: Fūinjutsu
Rank: C
Range: Potentially Infinite
Nature Type: N/A
Handseals: Standard handsigns for Kuchiyose no Jutsu

Description: The Kyōsei Keiyaku Kuchiyose no Jutsu is a seal that does not have a specific location or contract with a being, but is essentially a summoning jutsu. Thusly, if the user acquires the blood of a victim they may summon the victim to them or they may reverse-summon themselves to the victim. This costs no more than a normal summoning jutsu and can be used anywhere, at any time. This technique is unique in that it may also form one-sided contracts with objects given they have chakra/are chakra infused, and that chakra is imbued into a seal. Does not require handsigns if the user is summoning themselves to an inanimate object.

Weakness: Requires the blood of the victim/chakra of the ally/object. Cannot summon a person/object if objects are in the way [i.e., the summoning must keep the form of whom/whatever it summons intact]. The blood/chakra acquired can only be used for a single summoning before new blood/chakra must be collected.

Name of Technique: Tenmaru Kanzen [Perfect Heaven Circle]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Range: Personal
Nature Type: N/A
Handsigns: N/A

Description: The user focuses their chakra inwards, manipulating their nervous system in a way similar to that of Genjutsu. The user’s senses become extremely sharply refined, almost as if entering into a superhuman state of awareness, but they lose all ability to perceive anything outside of the thirty-five foot radius range of the technique. The technique can only be initiated on a solid surface, and if the user takes more than four steps in any direction (unless they are reacting to something within the confines of the Tenmaru Kanzen), the state is cancelled.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Kumonosu no Jutsu [Spider’s Web Technique]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Range: Short - Long
Nature Type: Oriton
Handsigns: N/A

Description: Kinuko creates a thick bundle of sticky silk fibres with the 縛る [Shibaru; Bind] seal woven into the threads, causing them to chemically bind to the first item they encounter. Using her silk glands, she is able to keep the fibres attached to her body in order to grab things and manipulate them.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Mayu [Cocoon]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Range: Short-Long
Nature Type: Oriton
Handsigns: N/A

Description: Kinuko creates a mass of Oriton chakra centered in her wrist and launches an orb from her hand. Upon coming into contact with a target, the orb of chakra will reform into sticky silk fibres that are difficult to cut around the hit target, effectively trapping them inside a cocoon of silk. The cocoon will only last for a maximum of five seconds before dissipating.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Kumo no Su-nai Gijutsu [In the Spider’s Web Technique]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: B
Range: 50 feet
Nature Type: Oriton
Handsigns: N/A

Description: Kinuko creates a small ball of highly condensed silken strands, each of which is imbued with a 縛る [Shibaru; Bind] seal. With a single motion, the sphere bursts outwards, causing the strands to cover a large sphere at multiple points. If a target is hit by the strands, the seal binds the silk to their body/clothing/armour. At any point, Kinuko is able to draw the strands of silk towards herself or Hanashi, pulling whatever the strands are bound to towards her.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Sen'ijō Hōyō [Fibrous Embrace]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: S
Range: Short
Nature Type: Oriton
Handsigns: N/A

Description: Kinuko unravels the fibres of any material created by her Oriton chakra while it is inside another person, and directs the fibres to sew themselves into the muscles associated with her opponent’s somatic nervous system. After the fibres have successfully done so, Kinuko is able to forcibly control the muscular movements of the affected opponent.

If Hanashi touches an opponent while this ability is in place, Sen'ijō Hōyō is immediately cancelled, but the fibres remain embedded within the muscles. They cannot be reactivated with this technique, but are very painful.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Shōshū no Inkan [Seal of Convocation]
Type of Jutsu: Fuuinjutsu
Rank: C
Range: Variable
Nature Type: Oriton
Handsigns: N/A

Description: A seal woven into the materials created by the Oriton. The seal acts as a temporary summoning contract that does not require blood to be activated, allowing Kinuko to transport herself to the silk or the silk back to her. She can also create the temporary contracts with other people (with their permission), allowing them to use the same abilities.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Hikisaku no Inkan [Seal of Rending]
Type of Jutsu: Fuuinjutsu
Rank: C
Range: Variable
Nature Type: Oriton
Handsigns: N/A

Description: A seal woven into the materials created by the Oriton. The seal is spatially linked to all other Hikisaku no Inkan, in such a fashion that any object that enters into the first will pass through unhindered and be released from the second seal. The Hikisaku no Inkan must be created in pairs in order to be effective.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Fukyōwaon no Inkan [Seal of Dissonance]
Type of Jutsu: Fuuinjutsu
Rank: C
Range: 15 feet / 5 feet
Nature Type: Oriton
Handsigns: N/A

Description: A seal woven into the materials created by the Oriton. The seal releases a pulse of abnormal chakra every three seconds, causing all genjutsu effects or other chakra-based effects that disrupt the nervous system (e.g., not Ranshinshou) to end, and destroying all C-Ranked or below ninjutsu that comes into contact with it. If the seal is inside a person’s body, the pulses will begin to destroy the vessels of their chakra system.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Idō no Inkan [Seal of Transference]
Type of Jutsu: Fuuinjutsu
Rank: C
Range: Variable
Nature Type: Oriton
Handsigns: N/A

Description: A seal woven into the materials created by the Oriton. Whenever kinetic energy is applied to the seal, instead of being applied to the object the energy is stored within the seal. At any point, Kinuko is able to release all of the energy stored within the seal.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Yokoito to Ori [Weft and Weave]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: S
Range: N/A
Nature Type: Oriton
Handsigns: N/A

Description: Kinuko creates highly advanced versions of chakra strings, utilising her Oriton chakra to grant the strings immense flexibility and tensile strength (which makes them almost impossible to cut). The chakra strings are able to be woven into other substances of the same shape (such as metal wire, for example) to transform the substance into a Yokoito to Ori chakra string that carries all of the properties of the new material as well as the properties and seals bestowed upon it by the Oriton chakra. These chakra strings will never naturally expire, but Kinuko is able to disperse them at will.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Hanashi: Nomihosu [Death Blossom: Siphon]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu; Kenjutsu
Rank: A
Range: Immediate vicinity of Hanashi
Nature Type: Oriton
Handsigns: N/A

Description: Kinuko places the bladeless hilt of Hanashi on a person, chakra, a solid material, or a liquid. By utilising Oriton chakra through the seal on Hanashi, Kinuko is able to create a blade made of whatever material that the hilt of Hanashi is currently placed on (this process removes the material from wherever it last was). If placed on a person, their blood is siphoned off to create a blade, which becomes solid. Liquids will also become solid while being siphoned by Hanashi.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Hanashi: Henkan [Death Blossom: Conversion]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu; Kenjutsu
Rank: A
Range: Immediate vicinity of Hanashi
Nature Type: Oriton
Handsigns: N/A

Description: Whenever a non-Oriton source is the blade of Hanashi, Kinuko is able to permanently convert this to a blade by binding it with a seal to one of the eight legs of the spider seal on the blade. Kinuko is able to recall any of the sealed blades at any time.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

【Personality】

Yodai Touho, before her coronation as Windspeaker, was a troubled woman. Nights of dreamless sleeps and sleepless dreams wore at her confidence, at her faith in herself, until her soul was exposed to the elements that govern the realms of body and mind. For most, an exposed soul leads to trepidation, and to doubt, and eventually to the great sleep - but not for Touho. Touho persisted, despite her exposed soul, and faith brought her back from the darkest place she had ever been in. It has been said, all too often, that once you reach rock bottom there is only one way to go - up. From the depths of despair did Touho rise, opening herself fully and truly to Fūjin, and she prospered.

Windspeaker Touho was never particularly determined or passionate in her youth - days would sail by, and she would sail by with them, idly waiting for something exciting or interesting to happen to her. She had daydreams of fantastical adventures, of a higher purpose, and occasionally of what life could have been like if she had taken a different path. For one who dwells in the dark recesses of the idle mind, the light can become hard to bear, and so did Touho retreat further into the depths of imagination. For the longest time she was stuck there, waiting for something to bring her unrealistic dreams to fruition, until before she realised it she was living her life inside a dream, only waking when she retreated deep into slumber and imagination.

Truth is a light that reveals everything - for better or for worse - and for one so used to the darkness the truth can be unwelcome. The truth offers no comfort, only the harsh gaze of reality, and Touho was used to nothing but comfort for most of her younger life. When shown the path, confronted with the great light, it seems like the best thing to do is retreat, and retreat Touho did until she was back in the comfort of the dark. Change rarely comes easily, but despite her initial apprehension Touho soon begun to see sense, to see the illusions that she had wrapped herself in for what they were, and turned to the light with her exposed soul. The light changed her, not because she saw some grand truth and was stricken by epiphany, but because her very soul was exposed to the universal truth - and at that moment she truly began to believe.

After that, Touho had a life of purpose. She was a Windspeaker, one committed thoroughly to Fūjin, and she used her newfound faith to give herself purpose. She is dedicated to her path, and she knows full well that she cannot retreat into the dark like she did as a child. This inner strength has shown itself multiple times, allowing her to make decisions that weaker beings would falter at, and allowing her to live full well with the consequences of her actions. Perhaps it could be said that she has little appreciation for life or anything she does not deem holy; that may well be true, but it gives her the strength to do what she feels she must, and her convictions are true enough to justify her actions - at least, they are to her and to Fūjin.

Touho is polite, well-spoken, and above all else kind. She may not have suffered the awful fates of some, but she knows that only chance spared her from such things and she shows the compassion and mercy towards the broken and less fortunate people that she feels they deserve. She looks after the lessermost people under her care, and through everything cares for them as much as she cares for herself. Certain values are expected of those who claim to be closest to any deity, and Touho delivers fully on these expectations. She is not kind for fear of damnation, or for any corrupt reason, she is kind because she sees herself a hundred thousand times over whenever she looks at anybody less fortunate than herself, and she would never wish the fate of the less fortunate on anybody because she knows how close she was to becoming one of those people.

There are few truly good souls in the world. Most are marred by imperfection and sin, and even those that claim to be truly golden hide behind a thin veneer of hubris. Perhaps Windspeaker Touho is one of these truly good souls - or perhaps she is not. She does not know, and for the most part, she does not care. Windspeaker Touho burdens herself only with her god and with her people - and for her people, there is no decision so hard that she cannot make it. Brutality and lack of emotion may enter into her heart, for a time, if a situation demands it - but above all else she cares for her people. Everything she does is for their wellbeing, and for the prosperity of her god. If this does not make her a truly good soul, then she is not a truly good soul - and at the end of the day, she cares little for titles.



【History】

"Until Fūjin found me, all I knew was hunger. I hungered not only for food, but for purpose, for a reason to go on. Now I have found that reason - or, more accurately - that reason has found me." - Windspeaker Touho

The woman known as Windspeaker Touho started out life as an orphan, her father dead before her birth and her mother dead giving birth to her. In Shimogakure, this was not necessarily an uncommon fate. There were two major paths for an orphan in Shimogakure - to go to an orphanage, where you would be beaten, mistreated, and probably dead within five years... Or to go to the Temple of Fūjin, to be raised as an acolyte, and to be given purpose. Few were given the luxury of the Temple's life, but Windspeaker Touho was chosen - it was said that there was a presence about her that made the priestesses think of Fūjin, and in that respect she was worthy to join the temple.

Touho's early life - or what she remembers of it - was a mixture of chores, scriptures, and more chores. Life was not easy, but every day she ate well and she was kept warm, which was not a feat that all of the inhabitants of Shimogakure could boast. She felt content with her simple life. Days rolled by and as soon as Touho reached the correct age, she was trained in the arts of the Ninja, that she might serve her new god better. At this point, Touho was an arrogant teenager, and she thought she knew everything. She began to doubt that Fūjin even existed, lost faith in the scriptures she had been taught, and rebelled against the system that had spared her from death.

One night, after a particularly intense day of training, Touho found herself at the altar to Fūjin, questioning why she had been put on this path. She must have made some noise, for the revered priestess heard her, and she came over to comfort the young Touho. She explained that Fūjin's winds crossed many paths, and that while the current state of affairs may have seemed bleak, it was just a point on the journey leading Touho to her absolute destination. All she could think was that the revered priestess was full of herself.

Over the years, Touho's training increased and she became increasingly adept at Fūjin's arts, and she began to see more and more how right the revered priestess was. She dedicated herself to Fūjin's cause entirely, opting to join the military ranks of the priesthood, and continued down the path that she was set on. It was the least she could do for the people that saved her from an otherwise horrible life. Unfortunately for Touho and the other Windspeakers, Shimogakure was too close to the rampaging Nine-Tailed Fox and the Temple of Fūjin, as well as the rest of Shimogakure, were utterly destroyed in the rampage. Through some miracle, or perhaps Divine Intervention, Touho and a contingent of acolytes of Fūjin were not killed and spared beneath the rubble of the temple.
With nowhere else to go, Touho led her people out of the ruins of Shimogakure. It took them less than a week to find the village of Kyokujitsu no Tochi, and Touho petitioned Sankage Ayameko to allow the acolytes of Fūjin to stay with those at the holy mountain Fūjin. Ayameko graciously accepted, and Touho went to live at the Temple of Fūjin.
Touho very quickly rose through the ranks of the Windspeakers, being elected as their leader after two short years. Under Touho’s rule the Windspeakers became prosperous and worship of Fūjin gained traction, gathering many followers from the village. Touho personally delivered the children Kisaki and Rin into the world under the grace of Fūjin, and has remained a respected presence in the land ever since, contributing to the stories of Kyokujitsu no Tochi’s hospitability.
Now in her later years, Touho continues to teach the ways of Fūjin to the young acolytes at the temple and occasionally performs missionary services to countries all across the world. Touho can most often be found tending to the poor, helping orphans, or helping deal with issues such as common banditry in between her duties at the Temple of Fūjin.

Name of Technique: Megumi no Fūjin [Grace of the Wind God]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: A
Range: Personal
Nature Type: Fūton
Symbols of Fūjin: 1

Description: By channelling a constant sphere of wind chakra around herself, Windspeaker Touho is able to levitate as if held aloft by currents of wind. She gains a sphere of influence around herself with which she can manipulate wind in myriad ways. The sphere extends six feet from Windspeaker Touho in any given direction. While within the Megumi no Fūjin, Windspeaker Touho is immune to all friendly Fūton techniques. Windspeaker Touho’s control over the wind is so proficient that she is able to essentially fly.

In addition, instead of performing handsigns, Windspeaker Touho is able to invoke symbols of Fūjin with simple movements that are not necessarily restricted to movement of the hands/arms.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Megumi no Fūjin: Kin'yoku no Michi [Grace of the Wind God: Path of the Ascetic]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Range: Within the Megumi no Fūjin
Nature Type: Fūton
Symbols of Fūjin: 2

Description: Windspeaker Touho causes the boundaries of the Megumi no Fūjin to intensify greatly after a delay of a second, causing it to deflect physical objects or projectiles without sufficient mass and speed (Standard bullets, for example, would be easily knocked aside due to their low mass) that come near it. By weaving currents of chakra through the wind, the sphere can also become impermeable to unfriendly chakra, but doing so requires intense focus that prevents the use of other techniques and movement.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Megumi no Fūjin: Hyōgi-kai no Ishi [Grace of the Wind God: Will of the Council]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: B
Range: Megumi no Fūjin
Nature Type: Fūton
Symbols of Fūjin: 2

Description: Windspeaker Touho creates innumerable blades of wind almost invisible to the naked eye within the confines of the Megumi no Fūjin. The blades cannot leave the sphere, but are so sharp and numerous that almost anything that comes into sustained contact with them will suffer immense damage. The blades can be condensed into single, visible blades that can be launched outwards from the Megumi no Fūjin at a significant reduction in power. The blades are shaped like crescent arcs, and despite their relatively reduced firepower they move very quickly and are difficult to avoid. The blades form after a delay of one second, and dissipate after ten seconds.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Megumi no Fūjin: Reitekina Yoroi [Grace of the Wind God: Spiritual Armour]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: A
Range: Personal
Nature Type: Fūton
Symbols of Fūjin: 5

Description: Windspeaker Touho condenses the Megumi no Fūjin, removing all access to its abilities except its levitation and flight, and coats herself in a thick veneer of wind. All physical projectiles without sufficient mass or velocity (Note: This effect is significantly stronger than that of the Megumi no Fūjin) that would come into contact with the armour are deflected, and Windspeaker Touho’s speed is vastly increased (she can move along the ground at a speed of between 50 to 70 feet per second). In addition, Windspeaker Touho’s taijutsu attacks become significantly more deadly, using the force of the wind surrounding her to lacerate the areas she hits subcutaneously. If she would hit an open wound, she is instead able to cause major damage to internal organs in the surrounding area.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Kaiko no Fūjin [Wind God’s Dismissal]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Range: Mid
Nature Type: Fūton
Symbols of Fūjin: 1

Description: Windspeaker Touho creates an incredible gust of wind in a single direction, buffeting anything it hits and sending them flying backwards if they do not have sufficient mass or are not sufficiently anchored. The gust persists for ten seconds, gradually decreasing in potency as it does so. If an object moves with the gust, its speed is dramatically increased. While Windspeaker Touho is within the Megumi no Fūjin, she is unaffected by the technique unless she chooses to be.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Seidō no Fūjin [Wind God’s Sanctuary]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: A
Range: Mid
Nature Type: Fūton
Symbols of Fūjin: N/A

Description: Windspeaker Touho creates a ring on the ground, up to fifty feet in diameter. The ring creates a stream of wind that physical objects and mana cannot pass through in either direction, allowing her to provide sanctuary to allies or isolate enemies. The wind only lasts for a maximum of sixty seconds. The Sanctuary must form over the course of three seconds.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Kamikaze no Fūjin: Ran’un [Wind God’s Divine Whirlwind: Storm Clouds]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Range: Long
Nature Type: Fūton
Symbols of Fūjin: 3

Description: Windspeaker Touho gathers immense amounts of Fūton chakra and unleashes the chakra in a constantly expanding sphere. The sphere will travel for fifty feet before dissipating, carrying any physical objects with insufficient mass or not rooted to the ground with it. As soon as the sphere dissipates, strong winds begin to gather in the area that disrupt movement and leave small lacerations in exposed skin.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Kamikaze no Fūjin: Arashi [Wind God’s Divine Whirlwind: Tempest]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Range: Long
Nature Type: Fūton
Symbols of Fūjin: 6

Description: Kamikaze no Fūjin: Arashi cannot be used until Kamikaze no Fūjin: Ran’un has been used.

Windspeaker Touho increases the intensity of the winds created by Ran’un, causing them to become strong enough to cause light cuts through leather armour and cut deeply into exposed flesh. The winds become strong enough that moving against their currents is nigh impossible without a significant amount of physical force, and the winds are so intense at the edges of the technique that physical objects may not enter or leave unless they have sufficient mass or velocity.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Kamikaze no Fūjin: Hayate [Wind God’s Divine Whirlwind: Hurricane]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Range: Long
Nature Type: Fūton
Symbols of Fūjin: 12

Description: Kamikaze no Fūjin: Hayate cannot be used until Kamikaze no Fūjin: Arashi has been used.

Windspeaker Touho brings the winds to their most intense level, strong enough to uproot old trees with ease and severely damage plate armour. The area of the technique doubles, and Windspeaker Touho has complete control over the direction of the winds at all times. By focusing on specific areas, Windspeaker Touho is able to manipulate the air pressure in order to achieve various effects, and is able to sharpen the winds to create gusts with the same cutting power as the Wind Release Slash.
Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Namida no Fūjin [Tears of the Wind God]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: B
Range: Medium-Long
Nature Type: Fūton
Symbols of Fūjin: 2

Description: Windspeaker Touho condenses Fūton chakra into orbs, roughly a foot in diameter, and hurls them. At any point along the path, or when the orbs reach a hundred feet away, they explode in a sphere of wind identical to Fūton: Atsugai at maximum power. Windspeaker Touho can only make two orbs per five minutes. The explosion created by the orbs can reach a maximum of a fifty foot radius. The orbs gain in power as they travel, starting as an explosion of twenty five feet and increasing to fifty as they travel to an upper limit of fifty feet away.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Ataishinai Handan [Judge Unworthy]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: B
Range: Short - Mid
Nature Type: Fūton/Hyōton
Symbols of Fūjin: 3

Description: Windspeaker Touho manipulates frigid currents of wind to surround a target, trapping them as if they were in the Suirō no Jutsu. Over time, the sheer cold of the wind will begin to induce frostbite in exposed flesh. The prison can only be maintained while it is within two feet of the Megumi no Fūjin, after which it dissipates immediately. The winds form over the course of two seconds, and dissipate if the target leaves a radius of ten feet away from Touho during this time.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Keibetsu no Fūjin [Wind God’s Contempt]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Range: Short - Mid
Nature Type: Fūton/Hyōton
Symbols of Fūjin: 1

Description: Windspeaker Touho creates a gust of wind imbued with Hyōton chakra, resulting in a freezing cold gale that can freeze any water or liquid of similar freezing point to water that it comes into contact with. The gale is extremely easy to control, but it cannot leave a fifty foot radius of Windspeaker Touho. The wind is strong enough to knock most standard projectiles off course.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Shidō tame Tangan [Plea for Guidance]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: B
Range: Short - Mid
Nature Type: Fūton/Hyōton
Symbols of Fūjin: 3

Description: Windspeaker Touho sends a freezing blast of extremely harsh wind in a direction (the area the wind covers is roughly ten feet wide) and maintains her pose as she does so, prolonging the freezing wind for as long as she maintains the pose. The wind is so cold that ice begins to crystallise on all physical objects caught within it for more than a few seconds, and after four seconds caught in the wind the target is encased in a block of solid ice.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Tenno Shimo no Hairetsu [Heavenly Array of Frost]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: B
Range: Short - Mid
Nature Type: Fūton/Hyōton
Symbols of Fūjin: 1

Description: Windspeaker Touho unleashes a fast, expanding sphere of wind from herself, knocking back all enemies without sufficient mass (this technique is strong enough to uproot trees and significantly damage structures). Additionally, the sphere leaves behind a thin veneer of frost chakra, causing any physical objects that pass through it to be coated in the chakra and frozen solid. Tenno Shimo no Hairetsu extinguishes almost all fire that it encounters (very powerful flames not included).
Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Hōfuku no Fūjin [Wind God’s Retribution]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: S
Range: 100 feet
Nature Type: Fūton/Hyōton
Symbols of Fūjin: 10

Description: Touho manifests an immense symbol of Fūjin in the air in front of her, twenty feet high and twenty feet wide, made of fragile ice. When the symbol is broken, an immense volley of Hyōton chakra is released in a 100 foot radius sphere that creates an exceptionally durable sphere of ice that is hollow inside. The ice is almost completely impervious to flames and physical attacks.

While within the sphere, the body temperature of anybody not within the Megumi no Fūjin will begin to drop drastically, causing severe hypothermia after three minutes. Hyōton techniques within the sphere are twice as powerful as usual.

If the Kamikaze no Fūjin: Hayate is within the bounds of the technique as it created, the storm will encompass the entirety of the interior of the sphere of ice.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Akishimo no Gishiki [Rite of Frostfall]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: S
Range: Mid - Long
Nature Type: Fūton/Hyōton
Symbols of Fūjin: 10

Description: Windspeaker Touho prepares a vast amount of Hyōton and Fūton chakra, and unleashes an immense hailstorm in a three hundred foot radius around herself. The storm is so vicious and so cold that enemies with insufficient insulation will succumb to frostbite and hypothermia rapidly. The winds are not particularly strong, but if this technique and Kamikaze no Fūjin: Hayate are used simultaneously, the result is a storm so powerful that it threatens destruction on the scale of the Bijuu.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.
