Book {WIP}

Name: Six paths of Reincarnation
Rank: D
Type: Reading Material
Natural Abilities: A small book found in the back of a library, strapped to a large amount of other books that were going to be burned.

The book itself goes through the detals of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and how to obtain them. The book also lists the transformations that will occur to the readers body should they go through with these paths.

Note: This is written to be specific to my character. Anyone can learn from the book, but this current application is for Koujetsu.

Eye of the Six Paths

Basics: As explained in the book, Koujetsu can send his form, both astral and physical, into the different paths. Each path has its own trial, and its own guardian, someone or something that guards the power that can be gained within. After rigorous tests, the guardian will declare the person who passes all of the tests, obtainer of this power. It is not a one person deal, anyone who passes the trials may gain this power. However, to avoid this, Koujetsu has burned the original book, and the trasncribed book has been placed in a storage seal in the Kazekage's mansion for safe keeping.

First Path: After traversing the first path, Koujetsu’s specialties switch from Fuuinjutsu/Ninjutsu to Genjutsu/Fuuinjutsu permanently. Losing the ability to utilize the Ninjutsu he had learned, Koujetsu is forced to spend the required time to train and learn Genjutsu before being able to be fully functional in a mission or a fight. Also, each jutsu he learns must be trained with a Genjutsu specialzed person, and the training word count must remain the same (no halving just because he has someone else helping him train).

This Kanji allows Koujetsu's illusions to take on a unique effect. If one can see the illusion, they are caught within it. This applies to allies as well as enemies. After quite a few experiments, Koujetsu realized that this ability held true even when he had a different Kanji in his eye. In order to keep the AoE abilities hwever, Koujetsu must do weekly training. If this training is missed on week, there is a 2 week (OOC) time where his Genjutsu acts like normal Genjutsu (affects only one person). The AoE abilities are allowable after Koujetsu hits Chuunin. At Genin level, the Genjutsu becomes harder to break out of, but still only affects one person.

As a note: Each illusion has a post length, those who specialize in Genjutsu can break free of the Illusions 1-2 posts earlier, depending on the rank of the Genjutsu used. Also due to the tricky nature of Koujetsu and his scheming mind, most opponents will not realize they are in a Genjutsu because he utilizes his Genjutsu like Ninjutsu. In addition to the original retraining, Koujetsu must retrain his Genjutsu once a week to keep up this effect, otherwise they become normal Genjutsu for a total of 2 weeks OOC. This appplies during missions, and any other topic that may be occuring. Should this not keep up, whatever thread Koujetsu is in will not allow his Genjutsu to affect everyone.

Second Path: This Path is symbolized by the Kanji for 2 in his right eye. This path allows Koujetsu to summon up to the maximum amount of summons he can given his rank, one at a time of course, at the chakra cost of one rank lower than necessary. He is also able to do this without hand seals, however this takes a full post to come into effect, and at the required chakra cost. However, by utilizing this Kanji, Koujetsu’s Fuuinjutsu specialty is limited to one rank below his maximum. (I.E. He can only use D-Rank Fuuin as a Genin).

Each summon is unique in its abilities, having no need to share in the specialization of the summoner, only the element. However, they do require blood of the user to be summoned, and depending on whch summon comes out, an additional sacrifice may be required. Another requirement is that the summons can only be mammals, or classified as beasts. Koujetsu has taken a paticular interest to primates for this summon, as they are more versitile than other animals.

Third Path: This Path is symbolized by the Kanji for 3 in his right eye. This path removes Koujetsu's ability to utilize chakra for anything other than close combat by force, changing his specialties to Taijutsu. No sub specialties are allowed. Due to being normally a support type, Koujetsu will be required to not only train for Taijutsu like he would in order to change his specialties, but post weekly training topics for physical training, otherwise he will lose the abilities granted to him when utilizing this path, and will be required to train it all over again.

In order to activate this Path, Koujetsu must gauge his own eye, taking off the layer that shows whatever Kanji is currently active. By doing this and peeling the layer off, the Kanji for 3 appears, activating this path. As it is the most dangerous path, boosting ones physical ability to maximum allowed capacity within the limiters, Koujetsu can only keep this active for a total of 4 posts at his current rank. At Jounin rank, he can, provided he kept up with the training, hold this path up to 6 posts.

Fourth Path: This Path is symbolized by the Kanji for 4 in his right eye. By activating this path, Koujetsu loses his ability to use Fuuinjutsu while it is active, and instead gains the ability to utilize Ninjutsu. As with the other paths, in order to fully utilize this one, Koujetsu must first train the required word count as if he is switching specialties. Every Ninjusu afterwards, including the ones he was already approved with, must be retrained. Even if they are being trained with someone else, the rqruied word count still must be met (no halving the training amount). However, he can only be affinitied to one of his two elements at a given time. Basically, he can either use water jutsu or earth jutsu, and not be able to switch between them. (this must be stated at start of activation on which element he is using).

Fifth path; This Path is symbolized by the Kanji for 5 in his right eye. By activating this path, Koujetsu's right eye undergoes a slght change, much different from the other eyes. The iris turns white, while the Kanji for 5 turns black in the middle of the eye acting as the pupil. Around the Kanji, multiple, smaller symbols for seals appear in Koujetsu's eye.

This Path allows Koujetsu to project seals from his eye, instead of needing ink. By forcing chakra into his eye, the projection burn a chakra symbol for the seal into whatever Koujetsu is focused on at the moment. There are set conditions to this ability however, and each use in a fight or out of the fight causes mental fatigue, only allowing 5 posts of continued usage, or 7 posts of usage on and off (2 posts on, 2 off, 3 on, 2 off, 2 on, done).

The seals that can be projected must be listed before the topic. If Koujetsu goes on a mission and lists 5 seals that can be projected, until he returns back to Suna from his mission, those are the only seals that can be projected from his eye. the other seals can be utilized in normal fashion. The same applies not only to missions, but a thread where Koujetsu merely is traveling. (IE. going to Kiri from Suna for dimplomatic reasoning. The seals stated at the start of the first post hold true until he returns to Suna, or his mission/travelling/whatever has been stated to end.) These seals can not be projected on to human flesh.

Sixth Path: This path is symbolized by the Kanji for 6 in his right eye. This path is quite simple in its abilities. When active, it increases Koujetsu's chakra control immensely, knocking down the chakra cost to utilize his Fuuinjutsu/transformation techniques by one rank, excluding S-Rank. (Note: The seals are S-Rank, but the chakra needed to transform is C-Rank). This also allows Koujetsu to use a more precise amount of chakra when utilizing his Genjutsu, and not waste as much, however the Genjutsu will still cost the same amount of chakra as before. This merel ensures EXTRA chakra is not wasted.

Weaknesses:

First Path: All genjutsu targets everyone, be it ally or enemy. This makes it a very difficult specialization for Koujetsu to use on team missions, given that he could easily affect and halt his allies. He also must remain motionless during the Genjutsu when it is used, a movement would disrupt the chakra flow to the enviroment, causing the Genjutsu to break. Any ally or enemy that walks into the area after the Genjutsu has been used is not affected. Radius is 10 meters to 30 meters, depending on the rank of the Genjutsu used in every direction, so long as the opponent can see Koujetsu.

If the training is not kept up, Koujetsu's illusions lose 50% effectiveness.

Second Path: Due to the weakening of Koujetsu's Fuuinjutsu during the path, he is also unable to summon anything that utilizes Fuuin while the Kanji is active.

Third Path: Extremely dangerous and draining. Normally will put the user in the hospital for a week or more. Limited to 4 posts Genin rank, 6 posts maximum at Jounin. Cannot use any other specialty beyond Taijutsu. If the training is not kept up, a 25% decrease is speed and strength is evident. Also causes a permanent 10% strength and speed decrease once the path is deactivated, along with weariness and sluggishness due to mental fatigue.

Fourth Path: Limited to one element per activation. Cannot switch between paths to change elements when ever desired. When the 4th path is deactivated, the first path reactivates.

Fifth Path: Koujetsu is limited to wahetever seals he has stated at the beginning of the topic. Lasts 5 posts total, although the rank of the seals that can be used increase with his rank, teh amount of times he can use his eye cannot. Should he try to extend the usage past the 5 posts, a blinding pain will erupt in his head, deactivating the eye entirely and leaving Koujetsu with a blinding migraine. Stunned for one post, loses 25% battle effiecincy (speed, strength, etc).

Sixth Path: N/A. All it does is it increases ability to manipulate chakra.

All Paths: All paths require one post to activate, except the third path due to its nature of release. Each activation takes an C-Rank amount of chakra, and a path can not be activated, switched, and then reactivated. Also, each path must be active 2 turns before switching to a different path is allowed. After a path is deactivated, there is a 3 post cooldown before another one can be utilized. After each path is deactivated, Koujetsu loses 25% speed due to being exhausted for 2 posts due to the deactivation and mental fatigue. However, once those 2 posts are up, he still loses 5% speed permanently.

Origin:

The origins of this book dates bac to the pre-ninja era, and in a temple honoring Buddah. The original transcript was merely a description of that Paths that each monk would undertake from one list to the next, allowing them to percieve what they needed to go through during their path to enlightenment.

After the Rokudo Sennin introduced chakra and the knowledge of manipulation into the world, a ninja turned monk got a hold of the book, and in his infinite curiousity, he managed to add to this book. Instead of travelling each path while being reincarnated, he developed a ritual that caused each monk to transcend every path in on life time at the cost of his life.

Having found the modified transcript and having the basic knowledge of chakra utilization, a select few monks were selected to under go this ritual. Only one survived, and he was the first person to have the 6 paths of reincarnation engraved into his right eye.

Feeling secluded and out of place at the monastary, the single monk who survived stole the book and left, travelling away from the monastary and to somewhere he may be understood, given his unique abilities. He didnt make it far however, the harsh weather outside of the temple killing him shortly after he left. The book was lost, or so it seemed.

However, in reality, the book was found by an aspiring librarian that was heading to Suna to manage the library there. Not understanding what was writting in it at the time, due to having very little knowledge of religions or chakra, the librarian kept the book for the sake of keeping it for many years. However, due to the increasing supply of books at the library hundreds of years down the road, the most recent librarian opted to throw it away, the dust on the old transcript showing that it hadnt been touched for ages.

The burn pile in the back of the library, sitting in the alleyway, was where Koujetsu found the book. The contents inside after a quic skim caught his interest, and he kept it, intent on reading and learning more about the book.

The contents of this thread has been discussed between Caranore and myself and I've decided to deny such content after discussing it with Caranore.

This Topic is being Archived for future reference or future use on Caranore's behalf.

Age : 30 Posts : 1701

I'm reviewing this app do to a discrepancy Caranore has.

Problems-

Your Genjutsu cannot auto hit. Nor can they be so difficult to escape from without you having to expend any chakra.

You cannot summon an A rank animal as a Genin. Nor can you summon so many for so little chakra. The Specialty thing is another part of this.

The 8 Gates are still banned.

You cannot have 3 possible specialties

The Fifth Path allows you to burn into people, which isn't okay, and is OP

The 6th path is more of a special characteristic, but you need to provide percentages

Genjutsu for the most part are autohits anyways. "oh, i waved my finger and used a Genjutsu" If the user isnt known to utilize Genjutsu or uses a different specialty first, someones gonna pay attention to the finger and get caught anyways. This is just saturating the air with chakra and utilize that as an all affecting genjutsu.

The A-Rank was an example for higher ranks. Its a one at a time deal, but for lower chakra amount IF handsigns are used. if its an eye summon, its full chakra cost.

Theoretical. Gates wont be used, just giving a little more info there.

5th path can be edited to exclude people, thats not to big of a deal. It was supposed to be more used for trapping seals or sensors put into trees and the like.

Percentages can be provided.

Age : 30 Posts : 1701

Percentages need to be provided, 5th path needs to be editted, thing about the gates needs to be removed.

Furthermore, you can't have 4 possible Specialties.

With Genjutsu, it's never a true autohit. Sure, there's lots of "Pretty much improbable of you dodging" but no true auto's

Based on that, I dont see why percentages are necessary. That can be edited as necessary though.

Bumped up the activation cost and the post length between switching eyes. Now takes C-Rank to activate each eye, and 3 posts between switching, which essentially makes switching mid fight useless. Also added in a tid bit about weakening after switching.

With the Genjutsu, all you need to do is stay out of the range. Which, for the Genjutsu is anywhere from 10ft - 30 feet depending on the rank.

Also made the AOE abilities granted by the first path a Jounin required ability.

Age : 30 Posts : 1701

10 to 30 feet? That's ridiculous.

If it's an auto hit, it should be no farther than 5 feet. It's just op otherwise. Plus, depending on the Genjutsu you use, this could be an autokill technique.

Age : 34 Posts : 1492

Well, I have to be immobile when using the Genjutsu, and it affects everyone including my allies. Plus 10 feet radius for a B-Ranked technique is minimal, as it 30 feet for an S-Rank technique.

Edit: Let alone you have a Raiton technique that is A-Rank, extends 15 meters, is extremely hard to dodge, and paralyzes for 3 posts.

Based on this, given I need to do handseals to activate the Genjutsu, has a 30 FOOT radius, affects enemies and allies alike in said radius, and I remain motionless, let alone for an S-Rank cost of chakra to USE the Genjutsu... somethings wrong there.

People can summon giant creatures, up to 200 meters-400 meters for S-Rank techniques, travel 4x the length of a football field in an instant, and I cant have a 30 FOOT AoE Genjutsu?

Age : 30 Posts : 1701

See, the key is that it's auto hit.

Age : 34 Posts : 1492

Ok. Think about this. An S-Rank amount of chakra, expelled in a 30 foot radius, saturating the air. Given that amount of chakra, anyone in the area, depending on the way the chakra was manipulated, would be caught.

Considering the Genjutsu is also breakable, albiet slightly harder than normal genjutsu. And its quite easy to dodge. Dont look at the hand signs, and stay out of the area. A visual concentration point, and an extreme amount of foreign chakra affecting the senses.

It makes complete sense. Also, note in the anime/manga during the chuunin exams, the Rain Genin did the same thing to Naruto and group. All this ability is doing is targetting multiple people.

Age : 34 Posts : 1492

Actually, let me make this even clearer. The path allows the ability to target multiple people within the Genjutsu range, dependent on the rank. To Target. S-Rank everyone in 30 feet is targetted. A-Rank is 20 feet. B-Rank is 10 feet. Not affected, but targeted.

Age : 30 Posts : 1701

I think if you removed the bit about being more difficult to break it'd be fairer.

Age : 34 Posts : 1492

That ones easily done.

Age : 30 Posts : 1701

okay, now fix the 4 specialties thing

Age : 34 Posts : 1492

How would you advise doing that? Considering the third eye itself forces all of my chakra to the muscles to strengthen it, causing him to only be able to use taijutsu. Hence the specialty change. Technically he is still Gen/Fuuin, but as his chakra is being redirected, he cant use those, only Taijutsu. Its much like my clan, who, when transformed, has a specialty switch. BUt this one only lasts for 4 posts at Genin, and causes an excessive strength/stamina/mental fatigue drain after its done, so its not widely used.

The Ninjutsu one I can change out though. I wasnt too enthusiastic when writing that one, so Ill work on fixing that one.
