| Lord Howl Ichushiro the Mad
Secondary Titles Kazekage Dono (Formal Greeting), The Tyrant of Suna (What people outside suna normally refer to him as when not using his name), Sage of the Unseen Path (In recognition of his mastery of two of the most misunderstood specialities) Age 257 (Appears to be 32) Gender Male
Physical Appearance
Howl is a rather striking individual in part because of his looks and shining hair and in part because of his rather gaudy taste in clothes. Howl could best be described as boyishly good looking instead of ruggedly handsome his features barely showing the ravages of time. His features are to fine to really belong on a man and along with his shinning locks ensure he attracts a lot of attention and admiration. Howl is never short of female admirer’s jostling for his attention. Of all his features he likes his hair the most and goes to great lengths making his own shampoos and conditioners to ensure it always at its best. He changes its colour depending on the mood by means of a seal behind his ear though it most frequently brilliant blond when he is happy or a brooding bluish black when he is worried or depressed. He has an earring in his left ear and dazzling light blue eyes that seem to look into peoples souls though not in a way that seems disturbing or reprimanding. Well not especially large he is well developed physically, and his lithe frame contains well defined muscle. What takes people back more then his good looks is his smile, Howl smiles a lot far more then any Nin both real and fake
Howl is unusual dresser, a side effect of his long incarceration. He normally dresses in finely stitched silk trousers of grey or black over fashionable white and black dress shoes of the highest quality leather. While he wears a suit of sorts as is popular in Suna his seems to be from a bygone era. Instead of a straight cut shirt for example he tends to wear a large baggy grey silk shirt with some ornate stitching around the cuffs and neck and a high unbuttoned collar. Instead of a simple tie and smart belt, a gem studded blue cravat, ornate waistcoats of an eye distorting design and a colourful sash about his waist. From the point of view of an outsider he is hardly recognisable as a Nin at all, with no vest, sandals or much kit is at all considered practical yet compared to the jacket he dons everything else seems imminently sensible. He possesses what can only be described as one of the most, if not the most, garish coat’s in creation. This long collared affair that goes down below his knees and is made of a pure white silk that appears to shine in the light almost blindingly so. As if this wasn’t gaudy enough it has cuffs of gold cloth intricately embroidered with a swirling pattern of stars picked rich, red deep purple and a brilliant blue. To top off this most garish of the items, as if the rest was not enough for it to stand out, it has a lining is a mosaic of brilliant emerald and black. He frequently wears it like one would wear a cloak with the arms hanging loosely at his side. This garish item seems on the surface highly impractical and is less would be less then useless for blending into the background. Indeed wearing it Howl can picked out of a crowd with ease He also appears to wear an ornate golden pendant with a deep blue tea drop shaped gem hanging from it. Many of these items carried seals on as one might expert from the greatest living Fuuinjustu Master alive today.
All in all Howl stands out a lot for Ninja almost shamelessly so and appears on the surface at least colourful and open. His movement mirrors this, and while poised shows no sign of danger in it or hints at the Nin entrenched within training. Were he not infamous enough to be known on sight he might be mistaken for one of the many nobleman/play boy’s who frequent Suna’s casinos and night club’s. As it is it serves as further evidence to many of his increasing insanity. Due to his striking good looks and colourful clothes Howl will he often henge’s himself when trying to avoid attention.
Mr Bigglesworth, his personal summon and constant companion is nearly always to be found with Howl normally nestling within his coat, on his lap or shoulder or snug in the crock of his arm. Mr Bigglesworth usually takes the form of fat persian cat with a glossy white coat though it can vary.
Personality Howl has many personality traits but all in all he is not a particular nice individual at least by the standards set by polite society. While he is not an evil man as such and is often interesting and amusing to talk to most avoid his company for good reason. While Suna is more powerful then it has ever been under his administration and its people more prosporous such progress could not have been achieved with his singular vision, to make Suna a truly great society whatever the cost. He never shows enjoyment in what he does or elevates himself above others yet he possesses no real sense of morality or compassion for those who impede Suna’s progess and is ruthless when needed. In the decade or so he since he took absolute control of the wind nation 1,000’s have disappeared never to be seen again and he signs new death warrent's weekly for those who defy him or cause harm to Suna without sparing a thought. While not precisely cold, since he is warm enough in person he is considered highly intelligent, calculating, logic driven and ruthless. There is nothing he would not stoop too if it helped to achieve his goal of making Suna a truly great nation. People find him hard to read and even a touch unpredictable given that while he himself appears friendly and is a people person that his mind is razor sharp and not afraid to cut. Its almost if he is two people, one a personable amusing fellow fond of talk, jokes and full of good humor and advice and the other ruthless, calculating, constantly assessing the situation and prepared if need to strike at moments notice. The Tyrant of Suna is feared with good reason.
Howl has a number of personality traits
Personable: Like many tyrants Howl is actually rather charismatic and very much a people person. He likes to debate, joke, laugh and socialise. He has a good understanding of the human mind and psyche and of Suna itself and is very skilful orator
Ruthless and Calculating: Beneath his open veneer is calculating individual to whom mercy and compassion are foreign words. He might smile and laugh but when it comes to Suna, the village’s future and well being Howl is deadly serious. While he will deride no joy from it there is almost nothing he won’t do to ensure his vision becomes a reality
Unhinged: The best part of over a century buried alive can affect even the most resilient of individuals. Where it not for his bond with Mr Bigglesworth he might have gone entirely insane but as it is he has come out largely unscathed with a few minor exceptions (at least that’s how he sees it, others might consider the use of few and minor in the last sentence exaggerating just a bit and would replace with many and major)
1.) An insatiable addiction to dango and is 20 a day a man 2.) Tendency to laugh at things that aren’t funny or even jokes or indeed to no one in particular at all or even when he’s on his own reading reports 3.) Sings musical numbers in the shower/bath and sometimes on the toilet and down the hallways too 4.) Occasionally he talks to himself and has even been known to have arguments with him self 5.) Can on occasion start to clapping without reason 6.) His startling appearance 7.) Every week or so insists on having a tea party out of the blue and even has a tea room for it. The time never seems to be the same and can happen at 3am as often as 5pm 8.) Regularly orders the Administration building swept for a small pink elephant he believes is sneaking in when he’s not looking and stealing his dango
These actions often take people by surprise at first and add to his unpredictability. Unaware of the true reason there is certain amount of talk among the TSOKR and the higher echelons of Suna society concerning his presence of mind and many think he’s going mad under the pressure whatever the case no one has been brave enough or foolish enough depending how you see it to raise the point with Suna’s ruthless ruler. That said its likely he already knows given his spies and informants are everywhere. In and outside Suna he is often referred to as Mad, though anyone who thinks him addled of mind would be fool indeed.
Slightly Paranoid: As you might imagine given his position he has not without good reason come to suspect that there are men and women out there eager to pull him down. He doesn’t jump around corners, continually surround himself with guards, jump at loud sounds and purge everyone who looks at him funny, partly because he is bright enough to know better and partly because he himself is a dangerous individual and has very little to fear especially from corners or creaky doors. He is however slow to trust people and is always looking for lies in what people say to him
Attached to Mr Bigglesworth: As one might expect Howl is highly attached to his personal summon Mr Bigglesworth partly as soul container and partly because he is the only friend he can truly trust and rely on. Approaching Mr Bigglesworth without his consent is highly dangerous and attempting to take, capture or harm the summon has invariably fatal repercussions
Unpredictable: Last but not least as result of the combination of the above he is highly unpredictable at least in his actions making him far harder to read and often making uncomfortable to be in his presence over long however good of a mood he is in
Catch Phrase/s
In my personal experience you will find that even the sweetest smelling roses are covered in thorns
There is my way of doing things and the wrong way of doing things. I advise you to get it right the first time
Before you go a word of comfort, you might have heard the ugly rumour that I have people dragged from their homes screaming at night never to be seen again if they are foolish enough to cross me. I don’t want you to worry yourself if this is true so I am happy to confirm it is. Pleasant dreams gentleman.

| Clan Information
Clan Name: The Ichushiro Clan Clan Location: Currently Suna though the kkg itself predates the shinobi villages and is not Suna specific Clan Traits: The Ichushiro Clan or rather its only known member are noted as keen sealer/s. Due to the nature of their kkg they are innately linked to the speciality and must incorporate it as one of their specs. As result of hours spent in study of the preferred art they tend to be less physically robust then others and shy away from the more physical specs. It is very unlikely any would take taijutsu, kenjutsu or weaponry as a speciality.
Kekkei Genkai: The Inner Seal – With the aid of his former master Howl like the great sage’s other disciples was able to unravel the secrets of his affinity to Fuuinjutsu and awaken something sealed dormant within him. With his instruction and guidance Howl unlocked the secrets locked inside his genetic structure and became aware of the unique nature of his chakra network that was his kkg. Though he was not aware of it for a great while when he finally learnt of it and more importantly how to use he realised this bloodline trait has evolved a naturally attuned seal overlaying his entire chakra network which he dubbed the inner seal. Not only does it allow the user to recall any seal he has ever seen or used but grants him an innate understanding of seals and their application. Howl knows how to draw and create seals as naturally as others breathe. In time he learned to harness them with unmatched ease as well as use them in ways not conceived possible and even to sense seals about them. Finally it allows the owner to have direct control over their network in a way not normally possible. Ichushiro clan members have the following traits as a result:
Chakra Efficient Sealers – The Takashi clan has a deep understanding of seals and unparalleled incite into their construction allows its members to use them with the minimum of wasted chakra. They understand the chakra flowing within seals innately and instinctively know just how much is needed to create a seal. The chakra cost of all Fuuinjutsu techniques used by them is counted as one rank lower then the stated rank
Sealed Chakra System – While it doesn’t manifest itself physically the inner seal has a profound affect on the user‘s chakra system allowing the user to control it as though it were one highly complicated seal. Not only does this give them highly advanced chakra control but allows Ichushiro clan members to close or open tenketsu points at will or seal off individuals parts of their network from the whole. This makes it very hard for others to damage, poison, corrode or cut off their chakra supply or else directly affect their chakra coils. As such they are highly resistant to any attack on their chakra system.
A Rank or higher users have such control over their chakra network and its flow that they can reduce the amount of manipulation needed to perform jutsu. As such they can reduce the necessary handseals in half, this makes them appear twice as fast with their handseals but the truth is the simply need to expend less effort and time to achieve the same result. It is said that S Rank users can perform the needed handsigns so fast that many lower rank Nin cant even see them
Seal Sense – Ichushiro Clan members can detect any active seals within 25m of themselves. In addition they can in most cases recognise and unravel the seals purpose by concentrating on it though they can not do so for seals above their own rank.
Secret Clan Jutsu:
Please note the following Fuuinjutsu have no genetic requirement to use, unlike the Nara or Yamanaka, and technically could be used by non clan members however the very high level of innate understanding needed to use them effectively makes it close to impossible for non clan members to utilise them in a controlled setting let alone in battle.
- Quote :
- Name: Redokku Sennin’s Third Hand Projection Technique
Rank: C Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: After forming a seal requiring physical contact it is possible to project that seal by means of this technique. The user need only form the technique, focus chakra in to any hand and manipulate it accordingly. A blue ghost like hand will form over their own bearing the seals mark on its palm. With a surge of charka this can be sent shooting off at high speeds towards a target. A certain amount of control over the flying hand can be exerted making it harder to dodge then one might imagine. Should contact be made the seal will activate as if user has touched the target himself. This cost a C Ranks worth of chakra in addition to the seals base cost
Name: Seal Clones Rank: B Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: Seal clones are material clones that operate much like water clones in that do not have a separate chakra supply or retain memory and must operate close to the user. There is one key difference in that such clones have a seal in their centre and when disrupted this seal is activated as if the user themselves applied to the target. Seal clones costs a c rank of chakra in addition to the cost of the seal itself. Should the clones be dispersed at range the seals are potentially recoverable to be reused at not additional cost by their creator
Name: Sanbou Kyuukai - Three Buddhist Treasures Vacuum Destruction Rank: A Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: Requiring 3 hand seals to perform and ending with the horse seal this technique creates 3 small seals in triangular formation set 3 foot apart from each other 1 m in front of the user. A foot behind a 2m wide swirling vortex will form between the seals and the user. The effect of this seal is to suck up with great force all the surrounding objects, items and materials like a vacuum through the triangular space and into the vortex where upon they are broken down into nothingness. This technique can suck up anything within 30m of the target that is not firmly rooted to the ground, such as trees etc
Name: Charka Immolation Seal Rank: A Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: Requiring 5 hand signs to perform the chakra immolation is another touch based seal with horrifying effects. Should a person be struck by this seal it will have the unfortunate effect of causing the stricken individuals localised chakra network to spontaneously combust causing immense internal damage and destroying the chakra coils within. Should it be allowed to spread through the system the resulting chain reaction will invariably kill the victim. Fortunately every chakra network has an internal defence system which will automatically react to the use of this seal by closing the nearest primary tenketsu point isolating attack and limiting the damage caused. Any limb struck so will effectively seize to be usable and will be unable to mould chakra and a direct hit to the chest or head is almost certainly fatal. This technique is incredibly effective when used on an individual who is gating should it manage to hit as the immense amount of chakra released in gating makes it impossible to seal ones tenketsu points effectively allowing its effects to spread throughout the victims chakra network
Name: Divine Judgement: 8 Gate Deconstruction Seal Rank: S Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: This technique was created by Howl Ichushiro to test the limits and his mastery of the art form. The Divine Judgement: 8 Gate Deconstruction Seal is among the most complicated and powerful seals ever devised. It was inspired after observing another Nin of gret power centuries ago who used gating in battle to great affect. He observed first hand the vast amount of chakra it unleashed and the damaging effects it had even on the elite Nin's well trained and experienced body. He devised a sealing technique that exploited it but it was far too complicated and time consuming too be combat effective. To correct the issue he designed an ever more complicated seal that replicated the convoluted and lengthy sealing process needed allowing the techniques to be performed in a fraction of the time. The sealing technique takes the form of a large complex seal arrangement tattooed over the user’s arm. It takes over 24 hours to apply to a person and requires an unparalleled understanding of seals and chakra manipulation. Failed or disrupted attempts to apply it can cause immense pain, personal injury or even permanently burn out the user’s chakra coils. Due to the high strains placed on it every time the following technique is used this seal will fade until it finally disappears the 10th time at which point it will need to be reapplied to use the following technique again. The seal in itself does nothing but can be used to perform the following sealing technique in a fraction of the time they would usually require:
Name: Divine Judgement: 8 Gate Release Immolation Sealing Technique (aka the living bomb technique) Rank: S Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: This seal requires a Divine Judgement: 8 Gate Deconstruction Seal to user effectively. It incorporates no less then 28 lesser seals within it, each with a defined role, whose combined result is far more then a sum of its individual parts. Its is heinously complicated in theory but is in practise simple to use thanks to the Divine Judgement: 8 Gate Deconstruction Seal effectively doing all the mind boggling manipulation needed for this technique. All the user needs to do is simply focus an immense amount of charka (equivalent to S ranks worth) into the seal at a steady rate over the course of one post to activate it. To an outside observer the individuals arm starts to glow in a bright golden hue as chakra appears to dance across his skin, for those who can see the flow of chakra the sight is truly astonishing with each individual strand being a tiny seal flowing in a breathtaking and unreal fashion. However their amazement soon fade as after activated the seal will form and the shining aura will turn blood red and radiate raw power. The user has 5 turns after activation to strike his opponent within the sealed arm before the chakra recedes. Holding it any longer will risk damaging the user’s own chakra network, potentially permanently. This technique combines a chakra immolation seal with a far more intricate series of seals with truly explosive effects that have one unfortunate purpose, to forcibly open all 8 of a persons internal chakra gates instantly. Gating even at lower levels takes extensive specialist training to endure and should be opened in stages to allow ones body to cope with the forces and pressure unleashed. In forcibly opening all 8 gates the toll on the body of the seal’s victim is unprecedented. The resultant chakra surge will instantly warp the victim’s chakra coils making further chakra manipulation impossible as well as causing unbelievable physical and mental pain as their chakra network is forcibly expanded beyond their natural limits, causing extensive internal injury. Unfortunately the worse is yet to come for the immolation seal has yet to activate. The user will do so remotely when at a safe distance and with horrific results. Under normal circumstances an immolation seal is stopped in its path with the victims chakra network sealing the nearest main tenketsu point to mitigate damage and stop its spread. However thanks to opening all the internal gats the chakra unleashed is so great that every tenketsu point is at bursting point, unable to seal itself, allowing for the immolation seals affects to spread throughout the victims chakra network. If the Nin in question is not on their knees before they will be now as their chakra system goes into critical mass and attacks the body directly melting their flesh from their bones. Superheated chakra will melt their eyes in seconds and pour out of the mouth and through there now empty eye sockets like beams of light. There skin will crack revealing a whirling vortex of chakra beneath. The screams of the victim and the eyrie light coming from them are all the warning those nearby will receive as a moment later then chakra within hits critical mass and explodes. The resulting explosion is unleashed as a sphere like wave of raw concentrate chakra reducing everything in the nearby vicinity to ash. The radius of the blast is dependant on the victim’s chakra reserves and is as follows:
Civilians: No blast D Rank or Lower: 1m blast radius C Rank: 3 m blast radius B Rank: 10m blast radius A Rank: 20m blast radius S Rank: 30m blast radius History: Very little is known about the Ichushiro Clan. The present is Kazekage is its only living member of the clan and which itself is a relatively recent arrival to Suna. According to what little is known it originates from the western part of the wind country where the Ichushiro clan has it holdings. It is hard to say with any certainty since the official clan history is not open for public viewing and ownership in that area has always been murky. The official line on it is that they are an honourable clan of sealing specialists who till recently have largely kept to the west of suna focusing on developing their arts and helping locally. Mention of them also appears in the official histories and cencus occassioanlly though as with every clan with far flung territory there wholes in it where they aren’t mentioned.
Should someone ever gain access to the history they will learn many things about the Ichushiro and their past, unfortunately none of it truthful. The truth is the Ichushiro Clan has only existed in name this last dozen years and is a creation to cover up its only members true past. Everything dating from before this time from fabricated history to Suna’s own records are fakes and alterations cunningly transcribed to hint at something that has never existed and give the Kage a false identity. Even the name is a fraud, its not even the tyrants original name but was actually taken from the name of a nearby ramen shop by him when under questioning and which for sake of convenience he has used ever since. Doubtless there is a very real Ichushiro clan somewhere but not in Suna.
Far more interesting then the non existent clan and its fraudulent past is the man behind the deception. Over 250 years old and counting he his was born in very different time and sustained by means of an archaic seal. His history is mentioned in the specific section and won’t be repeated here but we shall speak on his kkg. He was its first and still only user. While he has had children any of his descendants have long since died, most killed when his rule over the Archeon empire (kingdom that occupied the wind country before Suna’s formation) ended. He was born with it inside like other bloodline traits but without a clan to help and bloodlines still being very rare in this period he didn’t realise it was even there. It was only when he become one of the great sage’s six disciples did he learn of its existence and learn to fully harness it. The great sage, Redukko Sennin, the creator of ninjutsu and the first real Nin saw the potential within him when he came across him at just 10 years of age and helped bring it so the he and others like him could bring the gift of chakra manipulation to the world. It was he who gifted him the knowledge of sealing and genjutsu and bade him use it to make a better world. He has tried once and failed and was buried alive for over 100 years for his sins, now he seeks to try again and bring about the vision his former master intended.

| Rank Information Rank: Kage (S Rank) Village Affiliation: Suna
Special Information
Main: Fuuinjutsu Sub: Genjutsu
Main: Wind Sub: None, Soul Enshrinement Seal has taken away his second element
Special Characteristic/s Bearer of the Soul Enshrinement Seal: Created by his former master this ancient seal is one of the few remanents of the sage's great work. Akio had the misfortune to run into the great beast prior to his master’s final sacrifice that sealed it away and was left barely alive and dying from a poison so vile no antidote could cure it. His former master sensed the conflict and immense chakra involved but was too late to help only arriving to find his crumbled body lying on the ground minutes from deathly pain ravaging his body. Reluctantly the Sage used a recently developed technique he had created unintentionally while searching for a seal of sufficient power to deal with the vile creature. This legendary seal is the one of the few known method to transfer souls from one vessel to another and in so doing link one creatures life force with another items/being. The exact method of creation even Akio barely understands despite centuries of sealing experience and believes its must have something to do with that most powerful of dojutsu, the Renningan. Such techniques have become long lost legends though tales of related items such as spirit stones, soul shards, phylacteries or even horcruxes have passed down through the years. Howl is the only known bearer of the seal and has for better or worse had his heart and soul sealed within his personal summon, Calcifer, more commonly referred to as Mr Bigglesworth (and referred to as such) in public. Though he survived the sealing it forever left him change and given him the following advantages and disadvantages:
Advantages
- Quote :
- Two Bound as One: The primary strength and greatest weakness of the seal. By enshrining Howl’s heart and soul within his summon his fate became intrinsically linked to his summons, quite simply while Mr Bigglesworth lives Howl cannot in the regular sense die. His body can be harmed but damage sustained by it will not destroy Howl, for without his heart and soul it is little more than a fleshy husk, a golem made of bone and muscle whose is remotely controlling it by Howl’s true being safely concealed within his Summon’s form. It is possible to damage his body or even destroy it utterly without killing Howl in a final sense since his soul will endure and while it does Howl will endure with it. Howl ages but incredibly slowly as result of the link giving him the illusion of immortality
Life Link: Another aspect of the seal is it links the physical well being of Howl’s body directly to his soul. His life force and natural energy well always remain strong while his soul remains intact whatever affects his body is experiencing. Given this while Howl’s soul remains safe and unharmed within Mr Bigglesworth his body will also seek to be whole and as such constantly restores damaged flesh akin to regeneration. While his souls remains intact Akio will constantly regenerate any injuries he sustains the speed of which is dependent on the scale of the injuries:
Minor Cuts, bruises and grazes: 1 posts Cuts, Flesh Wound, Minor fractures: 2 posts Organ Damage, Major Fractures/Cuts: 3 posts Organ/Limb Replacement: 5 posts
If not covered either physically or by means of genjutsu the regeneration is highly visible with wounds clotting very quickly and giving off a fiery orange hue while sealing. If seen directly there can be little doubt the healing is something out of the norm If for any reason the body is completely destroyed Howl has one week to seek a new one by having Mr Bigglesworth come into contact with a dead body whose soul has already passed on. If not his own soul was pass on to the next life. If a new body is acquired in this fashion the physical damage and dead cells will be replaced with living ones and the body’s gender, appearance and even size will change to match Howl’s original appearance. Regeneration of this nature takes time and Akio will be out for a week while his new body is usable once more Block out Senses: Detached from his body as his soul is Howl can phase out his own senses most particularly his sense of pain and it not unknown for him to be un-phased by seemingly horrifically painful injuries Downsides
- Quote :
- Permanent Chakra Drain: In being bound to Mr Bigglesworth he must constantly sustain his summon with own chakra. As a result he always counted as having used up enough chakra to summon Mr Bigglesworth twice over regular in ordinary circumstances. Currently Mr Bigglesworth is A Rank Summon and as such Howl always has two A ranks less chakra then would otherwise be available to a Nin of the same rank
Two Bound as One: While his body might be immune to death or destruction in a regular sense his heart and soul are not. Should Mr Bigglesworth be killed then he will die as surely as any other. While generally the link makes him harder to defeat one powerful fire based attack on Mr Bigglesworth could potentially snuff the summon out killing both them instantly. If people are aware of this link it is easier to kill him or worse still potentially use him. Should someone else gain control of Mr Bigglesworth they could use him to potentially gain leverage over the Kage. Forever Together: Howl and Mr Bigglesworth are not just bound spiritually but also out of practicality, Mr Bigglesworth will always be at Howl’s side unless forcibly taken by others. First off the two must feel compelled to remain close at all times. Secondly and more problematically if Mr Bigglesworth is to stray outside 100m of Akio’s body, Akio will lose his emotions and the life link that regenerates his body will take twice as long to work. At 500m it will be 75% slower and at 1km the regeneration will stop all together. Should his body be separated from his soul/Mr Bigglesworth for more than a week it will become a corpse and force his soul to seek out a new one as outlined in the life link section. In short there is no time Howl will be without Mr Bigglesworth and will never hide him miles away to ensure no danger can harm him. Given this aspect of bond Howl prefers to defend Mr Bigglesworth personally and will not willing leave anywhere without him or leave him another’s care. Linked to this it should bared in mind that Mr Bigglesworth is an undismissable summon and will never disappear after taking so much damage. In short he cannot unsummon in battle for any reason and will die after receiving a fatal amount of damage like any similarly ranked pet Pain Link: Mr Bigglesworth and Howl are linked by more than souls, both empathically and emotionally. The most problematic aspect of this link is a shared sense of pain or rather Mr Biggleworth’s pain. While Howl can dull it his own pain, any Mr Bigglesworth suffers will be felt by him potentially giving away the source of his seeming invulnerability Elemental Alignment: The seal has for better or worse changed his own elemental alignment to match his summons. Where he once had two elemental affinities he now has only one, Wind, which cannot be changed or added too. Arsonphobia and mild aquaphobia Akio’s close affinity to his personal summon as result of the seal has passed the wind aligned summons fear of fire to him. Though he lacks a weakness to it, the fear of it is nevertheless there. He has an abnormal and persistent fear of flames and flaming places. He experiences bouts of anxiety when around it uncontrolled flames and burning buildings even though he realises that the fire poses no imminent threat. Unless his life depends on it or on a critically important mission he will never intentionally enter a building or area on fire and avoids fireplaces, blazing touches and any other open flames including matches if possible. With regard to water he is very reluctant to go swimming and gets slightly unnerved about crossing any body of water be it by boat or bridge. He also dislikes to water walk where possible. He is only fine with the act of bathing and seems fine with water as long as it full of bubble bath. Fire users naturally worry him and he fears being covered in flames. Please note while he is fearful of these elements of varying degrees he is still a Kage and used to facing down fear and so it’s unlikely to have much hold on him in particularly tense, dangerous or important missions however such decisions are usually forced out of necessity then willingness. He may not like to travel by boat but if he needs to he will
Master of the Unseen Arts: Though he is been 12 years in the public limelight Howl has already established himself as a true master of the unseen arts, genjutsu and fuuinjutsu. Nearly two and a half centuries of study, inspite of a large portion of this time being spent buried alive and limited to practising at much weakened level, has given him a knowledge base and experience others could only dream of. His abilities and profound understanding of these complicated forms of chakra manipulation stand testament to this. In practise this comes out in two ways: Firstly Akio is able to recognise almost any non-clan seal or genjutsu from their method of formation and is more alert then others to the threat and dangers they pose Secondly Akio centuries of studying genjutsu has given him the canny eye of a master when it comes to detecting between the reality as it is and one induced by genjutsu. Though this by no means his only form of detection it does mean he is far quicker at noticing when he or others are under ones affects. Once you have seen it a 1,000 times or more you begin to recognise the subtle differences at base level linked with their mind altering affects and are better suited to dealing with its affects.
Book Worm: Fuuinjutsu and to a lesser extent genjutsu are specialities involving considerable study and research. Days or even weeks at time can be spent pouring over new tomes of knowledge and documents of power, unraveling their secrets and perfecting ones art. Centuries of such study have led him to develop practical methods to speed it up and streamline it. As a result Howl is capable of learning new fuuinjutsu and genjutsu faster than most with a 25% reduction in any training word count needed . Furthermore reading so much text has led him to become is highly versed in history, politics, poetry and languages and is capable of speaking and reading many both modern and dead. He is incredibly faster reader and capable of absorbing and processing vast amounts of information at once Unfortunately such study takes up time, time that could arguably be spent training the body rather then simply the mind. While be no means unfit, he is not progress phsycially at the same level as others of his rank, spending additional time studying when he should be training and is considered to have tai and other close combat skills equivalent to a individual of a rank lower with the same specs. His chakra reserves are also smaller then they should be but the loss is made up for by far more refined chakra usage so in practical terms it seems no less.
Razor sharp of sense and mind: Being a feared and renowned tyrant one has to react fast when needed to avoid the odd poison laced flying Kunai or a blazing fireball. Five times already since becoming Kazekage have other’s tried to assassinate him by means of booby traps and ambushes and once very nearly succeeded. That and the developing Paranoia he possesses insure he is always alert and expecting danger. Though he doesn’t jump around corners he is very hard to surprise with good hearing and very sharp eyesight, the result of cycling larger than normal amounts of chakra through them to improve his senses. In battle his sharp senses and quick thinking has saved him a number of times and paired with his speedy hand sealing allows him to quickly react to the changing face of a battle. He might not be as quick on his feet as others or replicate their speed of movement but rarely if ever does his ever lose track of them even when they travel at incredible speeds he himself could not hope to match.
Unpredictable: Howl has always been somewhat unpredictable in his actions and hard to read. Deeply intertwined with genjutsu, manipulation and deception it has become second nature to keep people guessing as to what he will do next. Even so there was usually some method to his madness. Now with his growing insanity and instability it is getting ever harder to plan about him and very hard to predict in combat. Mind reading, thought sensing and other methods of prediction even the uchiha muscle movement prediction tend to be far less effective against this unhinged Nin who can and does typically alter his plans at the drop of a hat
Ancient Knowledge: Having lived almost as long as Shinobi's have existed it’s not surprising that Howl knows the truth behind many myths, legends and secrets. Lord Ichushiro is considered to have a first rate understanding of the more rare and ancient kinjutsu, organisation and techniques. From gating to Jashinism Howl has witnessed firs their development first hand and is aware of the dangers such techniques pose. He does not however tend to talk about this to avoid questions as to how he might know coming back to him and others potentially discovering his real age and nature

| Spectral Cat Summoning Contract
Calcifer and his family are a rare set of summons indeed and Howl has often thanked his luck and pure stubbornness for acquiring them. They are a very small group of elite summons, whose natural habit forced upon them vast evolutionary changes that has made them the creatures they are today. Spectral cats are strange beasts, victims of unnatural local disaster and the ruinous effects it had on the habitat. Once small wildcats who preyed on the deserts scant resources they became all but extinct as their become the site of one of the most epic battles in history. The effects battle persisted long after killing all but a lone female of unusual cunning and skill and her two young kittens. In time their chakra enriched environment torn asunder by raw uncontained chakra and un-natural storms warped their very bodies changing them irreversibly into the creatures they are today. Cunning, Duplicitous and predatory they are highly dangerous and were it not for the predisposition to social interaction they might never have becomes summons at all.
Spectral cats are not spectres or ghostlike despite their name. The have been branded so for the approach to conflict and the tendency to appear out of nowhere and vanish the next moment normally accompanied by the scream of an unwary victim. Thanks to their unusual genetic makeup and focus on genjutsu they are consider tricky, ethereal creatures whom use deception and intrigue with far danger then any Nin with a mere Kunai. They were for time widely feared but now venture out of their home rarely preferring to keep company of the only human whom they find as intriguing and deceptive as they. They are incredibly dangerous if agitated, though they do spend large parts of day doing very little and not to be trusted at the best of time. Its advice any Nin step warily in presence of these unseen predators
The 3 Spectral Cat Summons are as follows:
Calcifer - More commonly known as Mr Bigglesworth, he is Howl’s Personal summon, companion and bound phylactery all rolled into one. Calcifer is the most laid back and refined of the group and specialised in genjutsu with supplementary medical techs that compliment has very good chakra control
Tigger - Calcifer’s younger brother. Not so cunning or quick of mind but makes up for this with raw and power and aggression. A powerful and savage close quarters ambusher he used genjutsu supplemented by weaponry
Andarial The Deciever - The last and most dangerous of the there is Andarial The Deceiver. The mother of other two, she is spectral cat most cunning and gifted. She is a powerful boss summon notable for large scale genjutsu and ninjutsu and a vicious streak big enough to encompass Suna
Shared Special Characteristics
Countless years spent in an acute chakra rich environment where the merest beat of a butterflies wing can create a howling tornado and everything from food to water is laced in the stuff what little survives changes radically. Once wild cats not dissimilar to those that prowl the vast desert today they have changed beyond all the recognition. The greatest change is the result direct and constant exposure to unprecedented levels of enriched chakra. Their bodies have become drench in the stuff and over time its has infused into their very genetics. Not only to have highly enhanced chakra networks they have evolved to a new form of life. They occupy the strange place between mortal and elemental, beings of flesh and blood but whose very cells surge with chakra, in specific the wind aligned chakra of this dangerous region. This high concentration of latent chakra in their genetic strain not only allows them manipulate their forms in ways not usually thought possible but has other latent affects as well. They affects are as followed:
Chakra infused Form: The Spectral Cat’s chakra infused forms are such that they can transform them changing size, appearance and shape to suit their needs, though never smaller then that of house cat and never large then their maximum size as listed in their entries. They, can stretch twist and contort their forms in ways almost comparable to chakra based elemental creatures to which they closely resemble. This is bourne out by various shape forming/changing Jutsu they possess. Despite being able to twist their forms in manners that might make others queasy they are limited in one final but rather major way, that while they can change their appearance, size and shape at well they are limited to but one generic form, that of a cat. When Andarial was asked about this by Howl she amusingly revealed that it stems from their species natural sense of superiority. All cats secretly think they are better then everyone, even if only the Spectral Cat’s are and have gone to the extent of using it to underpin why its fine for them to eat humans and get dibs on all the cream and snug pillows to sleep on. None of the three spectral cats would ever descend so low as to take some lesser form and largely considered Howl especially privileged that his soul is no longer encased in what there refer to as his meatbag body
Wind aligned Summons: Summon, like their Summoners tend to have specific elements they use. In the case of the Spectral Cat’s the have only one, wind. However due to their unqiue evolution the affinity is so strong that borders on alignment itself and it has many effects on them. Not only do they detest fire and fear it but they are weak against, with any fire attack that hits them being considered a rank higher then it ordinarily would be. On the other hand is being suffused with wind chakra they are highly resistant to an elemental attacks of a wind nature against them count as two ranks lower then ordinarily would be. Finally the have some small resistance to lightning due to the nature of elemental superiority reducing the effectiveness of lightning attacks that strike them by rank. This only applies to the Summon and does not pass to the summoner. Furthermore the close affinity to wind allows them to walk on air in a parody of flight but encasing their fur especially their paws in wind chakra. They can’t not go faster then they would normally without the aid of a jutsu but this does mean that the can as easily walk across the sky as down a street should the fancy take them
Fear of Fire and Detest Water: All spectral Cats have an instinctive fear of fire, they become more agitated and less comfortable in its presence and nervous if surrounded by it or in close proximity to it. They will never willing enter a area aflame unless Howl gives promises that will not injured. Similarly they detest water and bathing, there is no fear of it but the do not like it and try to avoid large amounts of water, the sea or travelling by boat if possible.
Enhanced Feline Cunning: Spectral Cats are incredibly intelligent, generally for so then the average human and capable of thinking fast on their feet. They are very hard to catch unawares even when sleeping. The are especially skilled ambush predators and not to be taken lightly
Genjutsu Summons: Spectral Cats are adept genjutsu users even though their paws are not conducive to creating handsigns. They use their eyes and tails as genjutsu focuses is instead by which to cast their illusionary techniques
Enhanced Feline Senses: All Spectral cats possess feline senses though in there case they are creatly magnified by the chakra rich evolution:
Sight – The sight of Spectral Cat is akin to normal humans with a few minor exceptions. One they have good low light vision and can even so in pitch black conditions. Two the eye are far more motion sensitive then those weak eyes of humans as they constantly remind how allowing them to identify and track fast moving objects and people with ease at almost any speed. They chakra infused eyes are also more sensitive to chakra and while they can it see it they can see a faint glow around thoughs who possess it which is stronger and weaker depending on their reserves. This allows them to gauge the strength of the foe/target more easily Hearing – The have acute hearing those goes upto 3 times higher then humans. Once used to hear scurrying out of sight it now allows them to here most activtity in 300ft of their position Smell – Once again more acute. Not perhaps as good as Nin dogs at tracking but they able to pick not that they would lower themselves to such an activity unless it was in the interests, after all they consider dogs wretched brain dead mongrols. However it does mean they can smell scents upto 2 miles away and usually can smell people long before they see or hear them. Due to chakra infused in the nose they have learnt to pick out chakra signatures and through repeated/prolonged contact can come to recognise them in the future Like all cats they possess the ability to smell their food and check air content without inhaling or breathing it in. Normal cats all possess a pair of organs, called Jacobson's organs or the vomeronasal organs, let the cat analyze air that is inhaled through the mouth rather than the nose. The Spectral Cats are no different though theirs is greatly enhanced allowing them to sense contaminents or poison in their found and the air around them allowing them to know when it would be best not to eat or inhale Whiskers – Finally Like All cats Spectral cats have highly sensitive whiskers. Whiskers special hairs, called vibrissae, are set deep within the skin and provide the average cat with sensory information about the slightest air movement around it. For spectral cats with the high sensitivity to wind chakra this is greatly increased allowing them to sense such changes in air movement up to 100m away
Spectral Cat Jutsu
Likewise all Spectral Cat’s know the following Jutsu unless otherwise stated:
- Quote :
- Name: Contort Form
Type: Natural Ability Rank: N/A Element: N/A Description: Spectral Cats can contort their form, stretching it twisting it like a cork, or bending in new and unusual ways. The bones don’t so much twist as chakra infused within them causes the to become maluable. Doing in so slowly costs no chakra but to so quickly in order to avoid swipes or mitigate attacks costs a c rank every time its performed. This can be used to avoid techniques that target specific areas or entirely avoid narrow/small area attacks. It can also be used to mitigate the damage of taijutsu and weaponry by one rank to reflect as the Spectral Cat weaves and contorts to avoid blows or cushen their damage. This of little use as defence against large scale or area effecting techniques however
Name: Shrink/Grow Type: Natural Ability Rank: N/A Element: N/A Description: Spectral can change their size anywhere from that of small household cat to their maximum size. The process is not instantaneous though and the can roughly change by a factor of 3 every post though. They cant speed up the process at lower levels allowing them to shrink from lion size to that of cat or visa versa in a matter of moments or though at the cost of a C ranks worth of Chakra.
Name: Shrink/Grow Type: Natural Ability Rank: N/A Element: N/A Description: Spectral can change their size anywhere from that of small household cat to their maximum size. The process is not instantaneous though and the can roughly change by a factor of 3 every post though. They can speed up the process at lower levels allowing them to shrink from lion size to that of cat or visa versa in a matter of moments or though at the cost of a C ranks worth of Chakra.
Name: Cat Like Grace Type: Natural Anility Rank: N/A Element: N/A Description: All 3 Spectral Cats might be big and mean but there are still cats and possess the undeniable grace of their kind. The are capable of climbing and leaping with assured ease and managing to find grip on even the most precarious item. They have exceptional internal balanced and also have the same natural tendancy to land on their feet when knocked into the air or sent flying
Name: Chakra Infused Fur Type: Natural Ability Rank: B Element: N/A Description: All Spectral Cats have heavily chakra infused fur which explains their rather dramatic colouration. This coat is constantly surging with unmolded raw wind chakra which can at the Cat’s instigation be used in one the two following manners:
1) The first and most common is to turn the Spectral Cats invisible. It does this not by using of ninjutsu but simply making them their fire take on the colour of natural chakra. Given natural chakra is colourless it effectively causes to disappear. By wrapping their tails/fur/bodies around others they too will disappear from site. This also mutes the movement as the chakra over their paws cushions their foot falls. Since they effective coated in a layer of chakra this not effective against dojutsu and other techniques that allow people to see chakra. This costs a C rank of chakra for every post it is used in. There eyes remain visible despite and need to be closed/covered to go totally unseen and this technique has no impact on the noise they make.
2) To create a aura of wind aligned chakra around them reducing the rank of all attacks the suffer by one rank and increasing their speed 25%. This costs a B rank to activate the first post and additional B rank to maintain for all additional posts it remains active
Name: Spectral Illusion Type: Genjutsu Rank: C Element: N/A Description: Spectral Illusion is one of the key reasons they are referred to as spectral cats. This genjutsu causes people to see a ghostly trail surround them and makes it appear as if they ethereal constructs, moving akin to wraiths, rather then living beings by replacing images of the cat with a ethereal trail. This trail is out of line with the Cat itself creating a displaced image effect making them hard to target accurately and making it much easier for the cat to dodge if necessary. They can change the genjutsu at will to allow it to show particular body parts such as there head or massive grinning teeth as though it were floating midair without a body, these too are displaced and not truly over the location of their actual body part. This technique is applied via eye contact by directly altering images as they are sent to brain to achieve this and lasts until dispelled, though once broken it can be reapplied once more via renewed eye contact
Name: False Signs Type: Genjutsu Rank: D Element: N/A Description: Spectral Cats can with little effort create the appearance of false trails or sounds, from false markings to fake paw prints. It even creates a fake sent trail this combined with invisibility can be used to confuse the enemy as to the Spectral cats true location. A favourite of use of this jutsu is to create paw prints one after the other so it appears as though the spectral cat itself is in a location it is not. This genjutsu directly alters images as they are sent to brain to achieve this and lasts until dispelled.
Name: Pounce Type: Taijutsu Rank: D Element: N/A Description: All 3 Spectral Cats are ambush predators and haven’t forgotten their roots. Like all cats they have often pounce upon there intended pray. By surging chakra through the limbs especially their hind ones they can propel themselves forward at incredible speeds towards a target. It has hard to dodge with little time to react when being pounced. Given the size of these Cats can often reach this can be a prelude to fatal strike or bite. Spectral Cats may always pounce up to 3 times their own body length and when doing so travel 100% faster then normal. Pouncing is far more effective when the target does not know their location or even better when they aren’t aware of the presence at all
Name: 9 Lives Type: Ninjutsu Rank: D Element: N/A Description: Very similar to Shunshin in effect. This technique is simply a short speed burst that allows cats to dodge or avoid incoming attacks by greatly increasing their speed by pimping wind aligned chakra through out their system. These acts of super speed avoidance often give the impression they have 9 lives. It’s not quite as useful since it is a purely defensive technique and cannot be used aggressively
Name: Purge Chakra System Type: Ninjutsu Rank: D-S Element: N/A Description: The Spectral Cat equivalent of Kai. Spectral Cats can purge their chakra system and in doing so dispel genjutsu by forcing chakra through the own system. This technique will only dispel genjutsu of the rank of which it is used or lower
Mr Bigglesworth (aka Calcifer) Name: Calcifer (aka Mr Bigglesworth) Rank: A Appearance: Due to his families rare ability to change there, size and appearance at will at will as long that of a cat Calcifer can change his appearance at will. However he does have do distinct forms he prefers above all others, his casual form which goes by the name of Mr Bigglesworth, which he uses when surround by gullible weakminded humans and his real form which he only tends to reveal in serious conflicts.
Mr Biggleswoth - Casual (False) Form
When assuming the identity of Mr Bigglesworth beloved pet cat of the Kazekage he takes the form of a large fat white Persian with silky smooth hair and tendancy to laze about and generally make a nuisance of himself. He comes across as a very pampered cat and can usually be found either curled up in his basket next to the Howl’s desk or in howl’s lapping purring contently. In this form he seems entire harmless if a little spoilt, exactly the image he wants to projust
Calcifer – True From
His true form while not quite off putting is a world away from hes seemling innocent appearance as Mr Bigglesworth, the Kazekage’s plump lazy house cat. For one thing he’s a lot bigger then some might expect capable of changing his size from his cat form to a monster over 70ft tall, if stall effectively a cat. Secondly he, like all his kind has particularly large grinning mouth lined with unmistakeably sharp and pointy teeth and razor sharpe claws, indicative that perhaps a diet of cat food isn’t the only thing he eats. Thirdly like his family he shares the same hypnotic off putting fur colour that as clear as day marks him as something beyond a simple cat. In Calcifers case his fur is a blackish grey with bands of a lighting blue that almost seems to glow. Finally and most different are all are his large jade coloured eyes that hold within them a subtle intelligence and raw menace not apparent in his causal form
Size: Given that he can vary his size, his size tends to change to the meet the situation. As Biggleworths he is the size of slightly fat household cat while his true from tends to go from 3ft tall to 70ft depending on his mood. His maximum size is 72 ft Contract Type: Bound personal Summon. While Calcifur is technically a summon in practise he can no longer be summoned or unsummoned. Following the application of Soul Enshrinement Technique Calcifer lost the ability to be summoned or unsummoned at will and always remains always at Howl’s side. For the purpose of any conflict involving Howl it is assumed that calcifur is there from the start and should be mentioned in Howl’s initial post. Species: Spectral Cat Elemental Affinity: Wind Special Abilities/Characteristics: Calcifer has all the standard Spectral Cat Spectral characteristics in addition to the following:
Bound Summon - Calcifer is bound to Howl by means of an ancient archaic seal that has transferred howls heart and soul into the furry summon. He is not summoned in the normal way and can not unsummon to avoid death. The bond between them makes a deep affinity and even where it possible Caclifur would not like to leave howl’s side. He will always endeavour to remain close to Howl and gets anxious if he can not see him or is not same room. It is not possible for Howl to simply leave Calcifer behind in a safe place and battle without him and he must be present in all life threatening encounters. Furthermore due to the nature of the Seal should Calcifer die then Howl will also perish.
Hallucinogenic chakra – Consuming a great number of chakra infused insects, rodents and amphibians with strong toxins and hallucinogens does funny things to people. Calcifer is a notably fat and hungry by his family’s standards often said to have never lost his kitten fat and is well known for not being very picky about what he eats. Its wonder according to his mother his survived so long as he has though according to Tigger he spent a lot of time tripping out when he was younger after eating all manner of toxic creatures. In the high chakra environment of his home this has had rather unexpected effects. Over time his rampant feasting on any creature he sees no matter how noxious has, thanks to the chakra infused nature of all creatures in the area, past some of their traits to him. While completely incapable of making true poisons Calcifer is capable of making his chakra noxious, creating poisonous affects notably hallucinations and gen related nerve affecting toxins. They are limited in practicality and have no known effects on the physical body, short or long term, but seem quite capable of corrupting or otherwise effecting chakra systems and are capable of spreading along a targets nervous system. Given this is a chakra borne infection, it unlike many poisons can be tweaked a little by the user, in this case Calcifer to great noxious chakra that does not react with specific chakra signatures. In this way it can be used without imperilling others most notably his Summoner and bound companion Howl. His hallucinogenic chakra can be made to cover his fur at will affecting anyone touching him at no cost but to use it beyond this costs considerable chakra. The manner in which this can be done is outlined in 2 applicable jutsu, Plague Wind and Contagious Breath.
Calcifer hallucinogenic chakra can be used in one of two variants:
B Rank: Causes severe and disturbing hallucinations. It causes the target to believe that the tainted wind chakra is in fact a highly potent airborne acid that quite literally is dissolving the flesh off their bones. This horrifying affect causes them to become shocked and self focused slowing reaction time by 50% as they struggle to stop its spread. It will appear to start at there feet and spread up slowly eating away at their flash. The longer it lasts the more it will spread and as it does the target will believe the dissolving limbs unusable. By 3rd post after infection they will believe the legs eaten away and non functional, by post the 5th post after their arms to be nothing but bone and similarly non usable. If still active on the 8th post after the target will be immobilised in a self induced catatonic state. Though not a genjutsu, due to its nature it operates much it can be removed by use of Kai in addition to standard poison removal techniques. However whiles its affects are similar it is not strictly a jutsu, requiring no chakra or concentration beyond its application and cannot be sensed by normal external genjutsu detection techniques A Rank: The tainted chakra attaches itself to the target’s nervous system where it lies dormant, there it looks for fluctuations in the flow of chakra, as happens when the target is infected by a genjutsu and copies them at a base chakra level. The infected chakra continues to lie dormant in the nervous system until the system is subject to the cleansing affects of the Kai technique. The chakra shift that occurs causes the dormant toxins to activate releasing the copied chakra construct once more into the stream effectively reapplying the kai’ed genjutsu. This does not work in the case of s ranks and only works once per genjutsu
When using tainted chakra and associated techniques Calcifer must state which variant he is using. Only one variant can be used per technique though it is possible to affect the user with both variants simultaneously
Summons Jutsu:
Calcifer is a fat, lazy relatively sedate Spectral Cat who for all his sins possess considerable chakra control. This not only makes him a skilled gen user like all his family but he has also soon some promise for medical jutsu, though of a simplified nature given he lacks opposable fingers or thumbs. His varied and unreserved eating habits have left him changed and somewhat hazardous to be in close contact with if he doesn’t like you. Calcifer me uses all the regular Spectral Cat jutsu as listed. In addition to these he also has the following Jutsu:
- Quote :
- Name: Mirror Image
Type: Genjutsu Rank: C Element: N/A Description: This Genjutsu create 4 mirror images of the user to confuse would be assailants and victims as to the real one. They are similar to basic bunshin though not corporeal but figments of imagination. The technique is however rather more potent. Firstly the images are not perceivably different from the user and secondly the genjutsu replicates visually the effects of using a replacement technique with a clone to hide the user’s true location among the others. While unable to harm anyone these incorporeal clones of the mind cannot be dispersed in battle and will only disappear if the gen is dispelled
Name: False Danger Type: Genjutsu Rank: C Element: N/A Description: A simple and short lived genjutsu with a potent affect. It makes it appear to the victim that they about to the victims of a powerful attack. The nature and formation of the attack are fully customisable by the user to suit their requirements. This can be used to cause the target to waste chakra trying to deal with it or herd them in a particular direction. This is notably very hard to detect thanks the attacks seeming very real with the targets ever sense from smell, sight, taste and touch making it so added to the fact that it is short lived. More often then not victims have no idea they have been gen’d till after the event, often well after. Should the target use a defensive technique against it, the genjutsu will change to reflect this and come to an end making it seem as though the attack had indeed been real and the victim’s actions successful in dealing with it. However this technique cause no actual damage and repetitive use can causes victims to become suspicious Name: Displacement Aura Type: Genjutsu Rank: C Element: [Lightning, Wind, Earth, Water, Fire] Description: This genjutsu makes it seem as though the user is 3ft to the left of his true location. It only activates when the victim blinks making it all but impossible to detect by sight alone. While in affect all adjust, weaponry and jutsu that require careful/specific aim are twice as likely to miss the user. Lasts until dispelled. Needless to say this makes dodging far easier for the user
Name: Kori Shinchuu no Jutsu - Sly Mind Affect Technique Type: [Genjutsu Rank: C Element: N/A Description: Kori Shinchuu no Jutsu is a Genjutsu technique which causes the target to travel around in circles. If the ninja is unable to detect the illusion very quickly, they can become exhausted mentally and physically when they are unable to reach their desired target by travelling along the same path over and over.
Name: Untraceable Type: Genjutsu Rank: B Element: N/A Description: This genjutsu is a simple as it is effective. While its victim/s can not sense the users chakra signature, presence or smell them rendering almost all tracking and long to mid range sensory methods ineffective. This does not affect the targets vision or hearing though making less effective in close proximity. It is a great way to cover ones escape once line of sight is broken. Sensory abilities affected in this manner don’t work immediately after the gen is broken but take at least one post to recover from the ordeal before they are once more effective.
Name: Misdirect Type: Genjutsu Rank: C Element: N/A Description: Misdirect is a more powerful gen based equivalent of replacement technique. It causes the target to aim momentarily fictional gen construct which appears for all purposes to be the user rather then user itself. It is more costly and more powerful then its ninjutsu equivalent, first because very difficult to detect and dispel partly because the transition between former target and new one is seamless and mainly because it often doesn’t last more then a couple of seconds meaning it is generally over before its even detected. This technique gives the user time to dodge far more easily while also leaving an opening to counter act. This genjutsu can be extended to cover a chain of attacks rather then just one however the longer it lasts the more likely it will be detected
Name: Creeping Insanity Type: Genjutsu Rank: B Element: N/A Description: A genjutsu that plays on the internal fears and subconscious of the genjutsu intended target, causing them to become conflicted, traumatised and if affected long enough cause the target to become insane. This genjutsu doesn’t create or add anything that isn’t already there but heightens and corrupts the target’s conscience and thought patterns immensely causing them to doubt their own abilities, become highly paranoid and become high conflicted. Every action they take their own internal monologue will question, ridicule and prod, even when doing well self doubt will be ever present. Prolonged exposure can have lasting and traumatic psychological effects
- From the first post self doubt will sink in causing the target to question his every action and have a negative outlook on his jutsu and strategies. His seal speed and reaction speed will reduce by 50% as his own internal conflict causes him to deliberate unnecessarily on even the most trivial action.
- On the third post if the genjutsu is still in effect his lack of confidence and self doubt will turn into chronic pessimism. They will only be able to use basic or clan Jutsu fearing that using any technique they not fully competent will only lead to their undoing. This paranoia of sorts extends to his team, who he suspects secretly don’t like him and believes their actions are designed to undermine him. He will avoid close proximity and will not engage in any team based techniques or moves and will ignore orders. This is cumulative and the self doubt effects persist as well.
- If he is still affected after 5 posts he will become deranged, so consumed by self doubt, paranoia and confusion that he will become certain of his own doom if he stays there any longer. The target must seek out the nearest refuge out of line of sight and cower within it.
Should the reach the final stage of this genjutsu they automatically gain the following permanent special characteristic:
Disturbed – The character has suffered a highly traumatising experience and has never quite recovered. The experience has left them some what shaky. They are far slower to trust others, become paranoid, often shunning others and as such some what of a loner. They can never be taught group techniques or learn to use combos with others. However the experience has caused them to become wary, increasing their reaction speed by 25%
This techniques only downside is it has little effect on disturbed, insane or otherwise unhinged individuals. Once you have passed the veil of insanity what’s a little paranoia and self doubt really going to do
Name: Toothy Grin Type: Genjutsu Rank: A Element: N/A Description: Used when turning themselves invisible with the exception of the eyes and large grins full of razor sharp jaws. The savage grin will grow till its 2.5 m in width if the cat is not already of similar size before rushing towards the target intent on devouring them razor. It appears as if the cat is rushing forward when in fact it is cunningly wrought illusion. Should the fast mouth grasp a fictional hold over its target the pain it causes is excruciating and it will feel as though they are quite literally being chewed up. The pain and mental suffering caused make it difficult to do little more the scream and wriggle in a vain attempt to escape the fictional jaws. Should it fail first time around the mouth will circle round and try and again until the gen is dispelled. It can serve as an effective means to herd a victim. The mouth is not corporeal so can not be harmed literally though when a jutsu that might have killed has it been struck in reality passes through it appears briefly stunned. Similarly should obstructions get in the way it appears to chomp its way through. In this way it makes the technique appear exceptional lifelike; as though it is the Spectral cat itself, a clone or similar ninjutsu
Name: Cat Song: Screeching Doom Type: Genjutsu Rank: A Element: Wind Element: Requires two or more Spectral Cats acting in unison Description: This powerful Genjutsu affects the user by attacking their sense of hearing. By combining their voices Spectral cats can sing loud and clear, much too the distaste in anyone in range. This singing or screeching as it might better be described in is horrifically tormenting on both a mental and physical level. The victims will find their bodies wrack with their pain and their minds filled with dread and a fond wish never to listen to anything again. While under the Genjutsu, victims are left both physically and mentally battered barely able to move and incapable of focus on basic tasks let alone manipulating chakra or using Jutsu or comparable techniques. The Genjutsu's weakness stems from the need for multiple summons and that their screeching is as easy to pinpoint as it painful making the normally had to pin down Summons far easier to locate. Should all 3 Summons sing in unison this technique counts as an S rank genjutsu
Name: Lick of Life Type: Natural Medical Rank: C Element: N/A Description: All cats groom themselves, but only Cat summons such as spectral Cats are powerful enough to manipulate chakra as they do it. Calcifer with his understanding of medical chakra can wreath his tongue in it much as a medic Nin might cover their hands. Directly applied to a wound this can serve to clot it, cleanse it of infection and half the rate of poison spread. Where regeneration or other forms of healing is also in affect then the rate/effect is doubled. This incredibly localised, affecting only areas licked by Calcifer’s tongue and generally not a good idea to use in battle given it requires considerable attention. Calcifer is highly reluctant on using it on others besides himself, Howl and Kin, a result of Spectral Cats since of superiority and general lack of interest in the suffering of humans.
Name: Healing Breeze Type: Natural Medical Rank: B Element: Wind Description: While his considerable chakra control grants him access to medical chakra he hasn’t the opposable digits necessary for complex manipulation, he is however capable of using a wind aligned aura to regenerate him and those close proximity. Healing Breeze is not great for sealing individual wounds but do provide a moderate amount of constant regeneration. It costs a B rank of chakra and lasts 5 posts, each posts it lasts its capable of healing up to a d ranks worth of damage. It has an effective diameter of 6ft. The healing rate is doubled if twin with a wind based technique of b rank or higher which causes the healing breeze to whip around rapidly speeding up the recovery
Name: Form Bezoar Type: Natural Medical Rank: B Element: Wind Description: Like all cats Calcifer often grooms himself with his tongue to keep his fur clean and free of parasites. The action inevitably leads to him ingesting a fair bit of hair creating hair balls he like any cat occasionally coughs up. Where he differs from a house hold cat is by channelling medical chakra into one of these he can turn it in to bezoar capable of absorbing any poison affecting his system which he can then cough up cleansing its taint. A bezoar can be created for use of others but must be regurgitated and ingested by others within 3 posts of creation. The action is not without consequence beyond the chakra cost since he himself has an infected form of chakra this cleansed too. For three posts following this technique he cannot take advantage of the Hallucinogenic Chakra SC
Name: Contagious Breath Type: Natural Medical Rank: B Element: Wind Description: Akin to plague wind in many ways this technique takes advantage of combining Calcifer’s of tainted chakra with wind chakra to great a swirling wind that cuts and in so doing so infects the nervous system of others with his chakra based toxins. Unlike plague wind however the area of effect is much narrow and more specific. Rather the whipping wind chakra around himself Calcifer gathers it in his throat and releases it either akin to a flamethrower or as a ball of compressed tainted wind chakra. The former is hard to avoid but has a relatively short range then latter far long range and fast moving but only large enough to effect one specific target.
Name: Plague Wind Type: Natural Medical Rank: B-A Element: Wind Description: Calcifer can cause wind chakra to whip wind chakra around him while disseminating his hallucinogenic chakra into the wind chakra laden air. In so doing he can create a swirling cloud of hallucinogenic chakra that creates in the nerves of those who come into contact with through which his poisonous chakra can enter the nerve system and contaminate the victims chakra network. For the feat to be effective he must stay at its centre and its not possible to direct the wind generally as he is required to sustain and maintain it. Depending on how much chakra is used it can be used effectively over different sized areas: B Rank (30ft radius), A Rank (60ft radius)
Tigger Name: Tigger Rank: A Appearance:
Size: Like his brother he can vary his size but he usually takes a form between 14ft tall and his maximum size of 87ft tall Contract Type: Blood Contract. Either by means of blood and chakra application to summoning tattoo or by use of standard summoning technique Species: Spectral Cat Elemental Affinity: Wind Special Abilities/Characteristics: Tigger has all the standard Spectral Cat Spectral characteristics in addition to the following:
Bruiser - Tigger is a big, bulky and heavily set cat for his type. Unlike his brother and mother he is not so subtle in his style and is frequent embroiled in close quarters combat. Constant smashing, pouncing, running and lifting have left him a powerful close combat creature. He is 10% stronger and 25% faster then most summons of comparable rank
Summons Jutsu:
Tigger is a more of aggressive Spectral Cat then his mother or brother. He loves the thrill of the hunt and to sink his claws and fangs into his enemy. Like all spectral cats he still cunning and deceptive and loves his genjutsu but he compliments it with some natural weaponry techniques more suited to the close quarters combat he loves. Tigger me use all the regular Spectral Cat jutsu as listed. In addition to these he also has the following Jutsu:
- Quote :
- Name: Mirror Image
Type: Genjutsu Rank: C Element: N/A Description: This Genjutsu create 4 mirror images of the user to confuse would be assailants and victims as to the real one. They are similar to basic bunshin though not corporeal but figments of imagination. The technique is however rather more potent. Firstly the images are not perceivably different from the user and secondly the genjutsu replicates visually the effects of using a replacement technique with a clone to hide the user’s true location among the others. While unable to harm anyone these incorporeal clones of the mind cannot be dispersed in battle and will only disappear if the gen is dispelled
Name: False Danger Type: Genjutsu Rank: C Element: N/A Description: A simple and short lived genjutsu with a potent affect. It makes it appear to the victim that they about to the victims of a powerful attack. The nature and formation of the attack are fully customisable by the user to suit their requirements. This can be used to cause the target to waste chakra trying to deal with it or herd them in a particular direction. This is notably very hard to detect thanks the attacks seeming very real with the targets ever sense from smell, sight, taste and touch making it so added to the fact that it is short lived. More often then not victims have no idea they have been gen’d till after the event, often well after. Should the target use a defensive technique against it, the genjutsu will change to reflect this and come to an end making it seem as though the attack had indeed been real and the victim’s actions successful in dealing with it. However this technique cause no actual damage and repetitive use can causes victims to become suspicious Name: Displacement Aura Type: Genjutsu Rank: C Element: [Lightning, Wind, Earth, Water, Fire] Description: This genjutsu makes it seem as though the user is 3ft to the left of his true location. It only activates when the victim blinks making it all but impossible to detect by sight alone. While in affect all adjust, weaponry and jutsu that require careful/specific aim are twice as likely to miss the user. Lasts until dispelled. Needless to say this makes dodging far easier for the user
Name: Kori Shinchuu no Jutsu - Sly Mind Affect Technique Type: [Genjutsu Rank: C Element: N/A Description: Kori Shinchuu no Jutsu is a Genjutsu technique which causes the target to travel around in circles. If the ninja is unable to detect the illusion very quickly, they can become exhausted mentally and physically when they are unable to reach their desired target by travelling along the same path over and over.
Name: Untraceable Type: Genjutsu Rank: B Element: N/A Description: This genjutsu is a simple as it is effective. While its victim/s can not sense the users chakra signature, presence or smell them rendering almost all tracking and long to mid range sensory methods ineffective. This does not affect the targets vision or hearing though making less effective in close proximity. It is a great way to cover ones escape once line of sight is broken. Sensory abilities affected in this manner don’t work immediately after the gen is broken but take at least one post to recover from the ordeal before they are once more effective.
Name: Misdirect Type: Genjutsu Rank: C Element: N/A Description: Misdirect is a more powerful gen based equivalent of replacement technique. It causes the target to aim momentarily fictional gen construct which appears for all purposes to be the user rather then user itself. It is more costly and more powerful then its ninjutsu equivalent, first because very difficult to detect and dispel partly because the transition between former target and new one is seamless and mainly because it often doesn’t last more then a couple of seconds meaning it is generally over before its even detected. This technique gives the user time to dodge far more easily while also leaving an opening to counter act. This genjutsu can be extended to cover a chain of attacks rather then just one however the longer it lasts the more likely it will be detected
Name: Barbed Fur Type: Natural Weaponary Rank: B Element: Wind Description: With this jutsu, Tiggers hair will buff up, standing on end. In this form it is heavy with chakra, the hair becoming rigid and spiked, in a manner similar to a hedgehog's or porcupine's quills. This thick spiky chakra coat is quite resilient reducing the potency of any direct damage technique suffered by Tigger by one rank and reducing the effectiveness of taijutsu even more. Anyone man foolish enough to strike him bare handed in this state would cause more damage to themselves then to Tigger. Should Tigger pounce or grasp a foe with this technique it can cause severe damage. It costs a B ranks worth of chakra and lasts 3 posts
Name: Tail Whip Type: Natural Weaponary Rank: B Element: Wind Description: After forming the requisite amount of chakra in his tail Tigger can magnify its size greatly while making the fur along it rigid, spiky akin to in barbed fur with the added addition of coursing through cutting wind chakra. He can then launch it forward allowing him to attack from a distance. This spiky whip like tail has a range of up to 50ft and can either slash at its targets or if possible whip around them like a lasso. Slashes are capable of cutting through most mundane items and in themselves cause considerable damage. Should a target be caught within the tails clutches it will then be jerked violently as the tail recalled is causing excessive, even fatal, damage. The wind covered tail is capable of ripping flesh from the bone and battering aside obstacles. Enemy can be also pulled closer or held back with this technique. It cost a B rank of chakra and lasts 2 posts
Name: Spiked Fur Blizzard Type: Natural Weaponary Rank: B Element: Wind Description: A simple yet widespread technique. By pumping chakra through his fur Tigger can harden it akin to 1000’s of razor sharp senbon. Then arching his back he can unleash them as one massive wind chakra induced volley towards the enemy. There cause considerable damage and the techniques cover’s a large area making it very hard to dodge or avoid especially when used at close range. This technique is less effective at targets over 250ft away
Name: Creeping Insanity Type: Genjutsu Rank: B Element: N/A Description: A genjutsu that plays on the internal fears and subconscious of the genjutsu intended target, causing them to become conflicted, traumatised and if affected long enough cause the target to become insane. This genjutsu doesn’t create or add anything that isn’t already there but heightens and corrupts the target’s conscience and thought patterns immensely causing them to doubt their own abilities, become highly paranoid and become high conflicted. Every action they take their own internal monologue will question, ridicule and prod, even when doing well self doubt will be ever present. Prolonged exposure can have lasting and traumatic psychological effects
- From the first post self doubt will sink in causing the target to question his every action and have a negative outlook on his jutsu and strategies. His seal speed and reaction speed will reduce by 50% as his own internal conflict causes him to deliberate unnecessarily on even the most trivial action.
- On the third post if the genjutsu is still in effect his lack of confidence and self doubt will turn into chronic pessimism. They will only be able to use basic or clan Jutsu fearing that using any technique they not fully competent will only lead to their undoing. This paranoia of sorts extends to his team, who he suspects secretly don’t like him and believes their actions are designed to undermine him. He will avoid close proximity and will not engage in any team based techniques or moves and will ignore orders. This is cumulative and the self doubt effects persist as well.
- If he is still affected after 5 posts he will become deranged, so consumed by self doubt, paranoia and confusion that he will become certain of his own doom if he stays there any longer. The target must seek out the nearest refuge out of line of sight and cower within it.
Should the reach the final stage of this genjutsu they automatically gain the following permanent special characteristic:
Disturbed – The character has suffered a highly traumatising experience and has never quite recovered. The experience has left them some what shaky. They are far slower to trust others, become paranoid, often shunning others and as such some what of a loner. They can never be taught group techniques or learn to use combos with others. However the experience has caused them to become wary, increasing their reaction speed by 25%
This techniques only downside is it has little effect on disturbed, insane or otherwise unhinged individuals. Once you have passed the veil of insanity what’s a little paranoia and self doubt really going to do
Name: Toothy Grin Type: Genjutsu Rank: A Element: N/A Description: Used when turning themselves invisible with the exception of the eyes and large grins full of razor sharp jaws. The savage grin will grow till its 2.5 m in width if the cat is not already of similar size before rushing towards the target intent on devouring them razor. It appears as if the cat is rushing forward when in fact it is cunningly wrought illusion. Should the fast mouth grasp a fictional hold over its target the pain it causes is excruciating and it will feel as though they are quite literally being chewed up. The pain and mental suffering caused make it difficult to do little more the scream and wriggle in a vain attempt to escape the fictional jaws. Should it fail first time around the mouth will circle round and try and again until the gen is dispelled. It can serve as an effective means to herd a victim. The mouth is not corporeal so can not be harmed literally though when a jutsu that might have killed has it been struck in reality passes through it appears briefly stunned. Similarly should obstructions get in the way it appears to chomp its way through. In this way it makes the technique appear exceptional lifelike; as though it is the Spectral cat itself, a clone or similar ninjutsu
Name: Cat Song: Screeching Doom Type: Genjutsu Rank: A Element: Wind Element: Requires two or more Spectral Cats acting in unison Description: This powerful Genjutsu affects the user by attacking their sense of hearing. By combining their voices Spectral cats can sing loud and clear, much too the distaste in anyone in range. This singing or screeching as it might better be described in is horrifically tormenting on both a mental and physical level. The victims will find their bodies wrack with their pain and their minds filled with dread and a fond wish never to listen to anything again. While under the Genjutsu, victims are left both physically and mentally battered barely able to move and incapable of focus on basic tasks let alone manipulating chakra or using Jutsu or comparable techniques. The Genjutsu's weakness stems from the need for multiple summons and that their screeching is as easy to pinpoint as it painful making the normally had to pin down Summons far easier to locate. Should all 3 Summons sing in unison this technique counts as an S rank genjutsu
Name: Wind Claws Type: Natural Weaponary Rank: A Element: Wind Description: Tigger is more openly aggressive tendancies then the rest of his kin and focuses on operating at close range. His love of direct combat has led him to spend a lot of time developing his wind aligned claws. He is capable of making them both fair sharper, longer, and near invisible by pouring twice as much carefully manipulated chakra in to the technique. This technique is very close to Kaze no Yiba in effect, creating wind claws that triple his usual claw reach and that can cut through almost any mundane materials. They will cut straight through most C rank weapons, armour and equipment and heavily damage most b rank weapons, armour and equipment. When this technique is being is being used Tigger can cut trees, walls, armour and swords in half with consummate ease. It costs a A ranks worth of chakra and last 4 posts

| Andarial The Deceiver Name: Andarial The Deceiver Rank: S Appearance:
Andarial is huge summon and by far the largest, most cunning and powerful of the spectral cats. Her form like the others is a that of wide mouthed cheshire cat with thick fur, a large bushy tail and deep penetrating eyes. Where her offspring have a more striped complexion of varying blackish grey over-layed blue or orange her fur is far more vibrant, a dark and sinuous purple. Her vast hypnotic eyes are the colour of brilliant emeralds and seem to shine out and has massive gaping maw is capable of swallowing a dozen nin whole at once. Standing over 161ft high, this large feline is a dangerous opponent and formiddable challenge best avoided by all but the strongest Nin Size: 161 ft tall when standing up. All dimensions otherwise in line with a fat cheshire cat of this height Contract Type: Blood Contract. Either by means of blood and chakra application to summoning tattoo or by use of standard summoning technique Species: Spectral Cat Elemental Affinity: Wind Special Abilities/Characteristics:
Andarial has all the standard Spectral Cat Spectral characteristics in addition to the following:
Name: Boss Summon Type: Trait Rank: N/A Element: N/A Description: Andarial is vast, magnificent boss summon whose size can only be rivalled by other boss summons and bijuu. Like her peers she is a creature of great power, size, stamina and strength far greater then your average Nin, and direct hit from one of her paws will likely crush a would be nin flat or cut in two. Defeating her is no simple matter. Andarial is capable of shrugging off lesser attacks and is effectively immune to C rank or lower attacks with the exception of fire based ones to which she like all Spectral Cats is highly vulnerable too. Likewise B rank attacks are only half as effective against her. Due to her size and power she inspires fear in all creatures of 2 ranks or more lower then her. Such individuals in her presence will avoid attacking Andarial if there other targets in the area and will have the reaction time reduced by 50% for the first 2 posts after her arrival from the shock of her arrival. On the downside while capable of relatively swift movement her size makes it relatively hard for others to miss her and any attack target by non boss summons/bijuu against her have a 25% better chance of hitting.
Summons Jutsu:
Andarial me use all the regular Spectral Cat jutsu as listed with the exception of Grow/Shrink as Andarial will is too proud too reduce her mighty stature. Andarial will always maintain her maximum size. In addition to these he also has the following Jutsu:

Name: The Great Deception Type: Genjutsu Rank: S Element: Wind Description: A powerful genjutsu capable of affecting a great number of people simultaneously. Affecting everyone within 75m of the summon it gives the impression the summon has disappear normally in a puff smoke as though unsummon while up above dark stormy clouds will appear to form. The truth is Andarial is very much there. When she launchs wind based ninjutsu it will appear to come from the clouds and make the targets believe themselves the victim of an unnatural storm. Those affected not only find it very difficult to notice or indeed aim at Andarial but are far more likely to be surprised by her wind based ninjutsu which appears sporadic and hard to predict. This technique lasts for 7 posts and due to its nature is effective both offensively and defensively Difficulty: A rank, due to large area of affect the difficulty of this technique is lower then its rank
Name: Daitoppa – Great Breakthrough Type: Ninjutsu Rank: C Element: Wind Description: Fuuton • Daitoppa is a Ninjutsu technique which utilizes the Wind Element. After bringing his a paw to her mouth Andarial will blow a large blast of wind capable of leveling almost anything in its way. A variation of the technique involves a smaller blast of wind which gets ignited with flame.
Name: Atsugai - Pressure Damage Type: Ninjutsu Rank: B Element: Wind Description: Atsugai is a powerful Ninjutsu technique utilizing the Wind Element. This technique involved Andarial opening her vast serated mouth and forming a ball of condensed air chakra which she then sends flying towards her intened target. While not the fastest moving technique it creates a powerful pressurised blast with a large radius of over 30m in diameter. It is best used when the enemy are pinned down or otherwise distract and are in no position to dodge. Direct hits are invariably fatal
Name: Dai Kamaitachi - Great Cutting Whirlwind Type: Ninjutsu Rank: B Element: Wind Description: Dai Kamaitachi is a Ninjutsu technique used by the Andarial. Named after another mythical creature that also roams the great desert, Andarial uses her large bushy tail to blow a concussive wind that is imbued with her chakra capable of cutting down trees and levelling large areas. This technique is a bigger version of the normal Kamaitachi no Jutsu, having the ability to cause a great amount of cutting damage to the nearby area.
Name: Tatsu no Ooshigoto - Dragon's Big Job Type: Ninjutsu Rank: B Element: Wind Description: Fuuton • Tatsu no Ooshigoto is a Ninjutsu technique utilizing the Wind Element. Andarial will swing her big bushy tail into the air, causing the sky to grow dark and stormy. These clouds will create a cutting tornado that will drop down on top of her target.
Name: Renkuudan - Drilling Air Projectile Type: Ninjutsu Rank: A Element: Wind Description: Fuuton • Renkuudan is a Ninjutsu technique utilizing the Wind Element. Only capable of being performed by the largest of wind aligned summons and bijuu Andarial inhales a large amount of air into his chest and then slams his fist into his chest to expel it. To strengthen the attack Andarial will imbue chakra into the air. When expelled it forms multiple concussive spherical projectiles, each whose strength rivals Atsugai but with a slightly smaller blast radius of 15m, capable of inflicting large damage.
Name: Kai Tatsu no Ooshigoto – Greater Dragon's Big Job Type: Ninjutsu Rank: A Element: Wind Description: Fuuton • Kai Tatsu no Ooshigoto is a Ninjutsu technique utilizing the Wind Element. Andarial will swing her big bushy tail into the air swishing it about as she pours chakra into the sky, causing the sky to grow dark and stormy. This technique requires greater tail movement and more chakra then the lower ranking version. Its effects a similar but rather then making just one cutting tornado that will drop down on top of her target, it is capable of making up to 3 at once
Name: Hurricane Type: Ninjutsu Rank: S Element: Wind Description: Andarial’s ultimate ninjutsu. By swishing her tail in the air in a circular motion and pouring a tonne of chakra into it she can whip up a large and horrific hurricane with herself and usually her summoner at its eye. By whipping the tail in circles she can continue to maintain this horrific storm, which imbue with wind chakra is capable of cutting trees, riping apart buildings and otherwise brutally ripping things apart. This hurricane goes out to 30m in a circular around Andarial and can be maintained for 5 posts. Andarial can not use any techniques that require her tail this time. This is most commonly used for wide ranging destruction given that once surrounded Andarial can run into the center of large formations and watch as the ripping winds rend her masters opponents limb from limb

Details Below*
Name: The Ring of Dominion Rank: A Appearance:
Type: Gen Enhancer Special Abilities: The Ring of Dominion has the following abilities/properties:
- Quote :
- Gen focus ~ This ring can and is regularly be used as a gen focus for visual genjutsu. By forming the necessary chakra within the ring the bearer will cause the hexagram to shine catching any who look at it in the genjutsu, in the same manner to as Itachi’s ring
Dominion ~ This ancient ring was created with a long forgotten seal. In battle if used in combination with domination genjutsu, it can be used to increase the Jutsu’s difficulty rank. Each time it is used during a battle increases the cost of doing so increases starting at a c ranks worth of chakra the first time, a b ranks the second time and costing an A ranks the third and all successive times. This is to better reflect that the users dominion over others is only as secure as his own power. The more he must rely on trinkets and the strength of others the more the user must pay the price for it Air of Authority ~ The ring grants the bearer an air of the authority, no man bearing this ring can be mistaken for anything other then a man of importance, whose voice should be headed and words recorded for posterity. All convince attempts using the ring count as a rank higher then normal. On a downside its is harder for the bearer to pretend to be anything other then he is when he needs to keep a low profile False Invisibility ~ This rings most marked downside is that it convinces the bearer it’s actually a ring on invisibility rather then one of domination. Any checks on it will confirm this is the case. When activated by passing a tiny amount of chakra through it the makes the user think they have been rendered invisible to the naked eye when the truth is nothing has happened at all. It is very subtle making the reactions of others appear as though they can not see the user instead of their bewildered stairs as the user acts and moves as if man unseen. This can not be kai’d and will only end when the user deactivates it. In time a new owner will come to comprehend the true nature of the rings deception and with practise learn to conquer it. Howl has achieved this and is no longer affected by it, though the ring has done him no favours with regard to how others perceive him. For the first 3 months of ownership he could often be found creeping about trying to surprise people as if he could not be seen sometimes draping a large sheet over his head in pretence of a ghost. This only served to reinforce the commonly held belief that he is a few crackers short of a cheese board
Name: The Radiant Mantle Rank: A Appearance: Howl is the owner of a very striking coat knee length coat. So striking in fact that many a Nin and civilian alike questions his sanity. The colour can be change at will but is usually, a striking combination of pure white and light blue with gold embroidery and a startling jade and black lining. It is the sort of strange piece of garb only some one very vain about the appearance or else very brave or mad or a combination of all 3 could get away with. Oddly enough it seems to suit his flamboyant, unpredictable and easy going style even if it often makes him stand out like a sore thumb. Type: Unique Clothing Special Abilities: The Radiant Mantle has the following abilities/properties:
- Quote :
- Colour Changing ~ One whimsical feature of mantle is the ability to change colour, it costs no chakra to change to a uniform colour and he mainly does it on a whim. Despite this his favourite colour is a radiant white giving the Mantle its name.
Photo-reactive Seal Weave ~ The Cloak has a photo-reactive seal matrix placed within its weave allowing Howl by means of activating an internal seal to make him virtually disappears. This is not true invisibility for the seals can not grant such but simple the appearance of it. This achieved by two link seal matrix all over the Mantle. The first series are photosensitive and absorb the light that hits them, the second our light emitting sending causing the Mantle to change colour to reflect the images received. The result is that it makes the user appear see through. When used in this way the mantle expands and creates a hood to cover the user entirely. While active the user is fair harder to see especially when standing still since he fades into the background. While active there is a good chance the user won’t be seen at all and targeted attacks have a greatly increased chance of missing. Costs a c rank per turn to maintain. An example of what it looks like activated
- Spoiler:
Fire Proof ~ The Radiant Mantle is made from a fire proof material. This doesn’t in any way make him immune to fire or fire based attacks but it does serves to make it very difficult to set his clothes a flame and protects a large part of his from direct exposure to flames. Furthermore any item, object or pet stashed within the cloak is well protected from fire based attacks but Howl himself is not. The has led to an occasion from time to time that he has been struck by a fireball only to find to his own horror that only is he wounded but the boring 30 page report on the cities waste disposal he had put off reading was undamaged within his coats inner pocket Blinding ~ Howl can surge chakra through it at will to cause the cloak to flash impossibly brightly stunning and temporarily blinding any opponent within 5ms for two posts. This costs a D Ranks worth of Chakra Disarming ~ The cloak is so idiotic, bright and ridiculous that it makes it very hard to take Howl seriously. It has the same effects on those who see it as the harmless genjutsu, disarming his opponents and making it hard to take him seriously threat in both social and conflict situations Storage Seals ~ The coat has 4 mass storage seals on it, one up each sleeve and one on the inside where the chest pockets would be. He uses these instead of pockets partially due to their far greater storage but mainly due to a chronic fear of pocket lint Stiffen ~ The last ability of this miraculous piece of clothing is ability to harden on the application of sufficient using a variation of a strengthening seal. It mitigates damage taken by howl reducing the power of a technique by one rank up to a maximum of B rank. This cost c rank worth of chakra
Name: Manipulator’s Masque Rank: B Appearance: As above Type: Gen Enhance Special Abilities: The Manipulators has the following abilities/properties:
- Quote :
- Gen focus ~ This Mask can and is regularly be used as a gen focus for visual genjutsu. By forming the necessary chakra within the while wearing the mask the bearer will be able to uses their eyes to visually apply genjutsu be means of eye contact
Attract ~ For a D ranks worth of chakra Howl can make the mask appear to glow attracting the eye and making it far more difficult for others to avoid eye contact. However this technique is quite noticeable and once its been used once to apply a genjutsu the victim is more weary and looks out for the tell tale glow the second time around Fascinate ~ Once per thread the wearer of this mask may use the genjutsu ‘Charm’ upon locking eye contact with another for no cost.
Name: The Ever Keep Pouch Appearance: It looks like a unassuming decorated pouch hanging from his belt. Rank: C Type: Seal based equipment: Pouch Special Abilities:
- Quote :
- Secure Storage ~ It has a number permanent mass storage seal inscribed on it and capable of storing massive amounts of items. In fact its gotten to the point where Howl isn’t entirely ensure what is in it and occasionally here’s strange sounds eminating from within though he’s never had a problem finding what he wants. Not only can it store items but its keeps them fresh and is great way to preserve important perishable items such as ham sandwiches. It also has a strengthening seal and a self repair seal to keep it in good shape. In addition to this it is bomb proof, fire proof, freeze both and most importantly of all lint free
Name: Tome of Howl the Undying Appearance: A ancient and highly ornate gold bound book that glows with imbued power attracting the gaze of all present. This venerable text is rarely shown and kept well protected by Howl Rank: S Type: Tome of Forbidden Knowledge Special Abilities:
- Quote :
- Howl’s Secret History ~ The Tome contains a great many things but perhaps most importantly the history of Howl and what he has seen are imbued into this ancient text. Those who gain access to it and with sufficient time spent studying it will learn the secret of his seemly youthful appearance and how truly ancient he really is
Ancient Resource of Forbidden Knowledge ~ Not only this tome contain Howl’s own observations but many extracts and ancient and forbidden knowledge. All manner of ancient and forbidden techniques are mentioned within its vellum pages from a diatribe on Jashinism. Studying the book for 24 hours straight will reveal the means by which a user my successfully learn any about Kinjutsu including the soul Enshrinement Seal and the famous Earth Fear Grudge technique and how it might be acquired. Due the many evil and dangerous techniques within this ancient tome is considered to be item of great evil and was once on the list of the most wanted artefacts sought by the Hellsing Organisation. Due to the above aspect however Howl will never turn the book over to anyone willing so that they can study it requiring the book to stolen or taken forcibly from him first. Bound Possession ~ This book has soaked up so much of howls chakra and spirit from him pouring his life into it has developed its own consciousness of sorts and a link to Howl. Howl can always feel its presence and the book is never happy in the hands of others. Howl will always now which country it is in and upon arriving be able to follow the feeling back to it should it be stolen while the book has a tendency to slip out of the clutches of others so that one day it might be retrieved by its master. The book also carries a powerful lock seal requiring Howl’s own chakra to open its clasp normally, though a seal user of B rank or better could break it. Corrupting Power ~ Such a tome is not just a book but resource of unfathomable power due to centuries of Howl pouring chakra into it and applying seals. Anyone but Howl may use this book to tap additional chakra equivalent to a jutsu of their own rank per thread however such power is not without a price. The tome will corrupt any such user and slowing turning them to its masters biding. Every third use of this ability will lower the users ability to kai Howl’s compulsion/domination based genjutsu. Enduce Story ~ The book is very powerful and as well as ancient texts contains the stored memories of many sealed within it. At howls command any withen 2 meters of it can be sucked briefly into that memory and through the eyes of individual relive as though they were there
Seals
All his personal possessions and clothing have strengthening and self repair seals on them
As a seal master of incomparable ability for his age Howl has the following seals on his person:
Poison Detection Seal ~ Located on his Tongue Mass Storage Seal ~ Two, located on both his forearms Genjutsu Intolerance Seal ~ Located on his forehead above his left eye Chakra Purgation Seal ~ Located on his left shoulder The Soul Enshrinment Seal ~ Located on his chest over his heart Divine Judgement: 8 Gate Deconstruction Seal - Located running down his right arm covering all the space on it but that taken up by the Mass Storage Seal Secret Mark: Release ~ Located above his left eye

| Subject: Re: Ichushiro, Howl [Kazekage] Mon 25 Jan 2010, 8:26 pm | |
| JutsuFuuinjutsu Howl Ichushiro is a peerless Seal Master who is knowledge and understanding of this achaic subject dates back all the way to introduction of Chakra manipulation by the great Nin himself, Redukko Sennin. As such he understandably possess' a large and varied range of general techniques, application methods as well as the ability to alter them in new and terrible ways
Application Jutsu
By use of varied application Jutsu Howl can apply his seals in new and unexpected. Ways seals generally require direct application be it to the user, target or something else which is not always easy or rare cases possible. Howl has developed some Jutsu that allow him to apply seals more unusal ways then depend on doing so in close proximity, an area given his relatively poor close quarters capabilities that is not precisely complementary to his style of combat
- Quote :
- Name: Seal Array Creation
Rank: C Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: Almost any seal can be effectively linked with a seal array. A seal array is are area usually created by applying controls seals to kunai and placing them at the circumference of the area then activating it with the applicable Seal in the centre. This can take any shape but can be no large then 30ft in radius. Any seals placed in this way will activate and affect anyone who later enters the sealed area as if struck by the seal in person. You can only apply one seal to an area but there is no limit to how many arrays you can have active in any one area.
Creating a Seal Array costs a c rank of chakra in addition to the Seal used but may only affect the first person who enters at which point it will collapse. If however a b rank of additional chakra is used the seal array will apply the seal to any who enters and last until destroyed by means of a b rank technique or better or a unsealing technique of equivalent rank.
Name: Redokku Sennin’s Third Hand Projection Technique Rank: C Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: After forming a seal requiring physical contact it is possible to project that seal by means of this technique. The user need only form the technique, focus chakra in to any hand and manipulate it accordingly. A blue ghost like hand will form over their own bearing the seals mark on its palm. With a surge of charka this can be sent shooting off at high speeds towards a target. A certain amount of control over the flying hand can be exerted making it harder to dodge then one might imagine. Should contact be made the seal will activate as if Howl has touched the target himself. This cost a C Ranks worth of chakra in addition to the seals base cost
Name: Seal Clones Rank: B Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: Seal clones are material clones that operate much like water clones in that do not have a separate chakra supply or retain memory and must operate close to the user. There is one key difference in that such clones have a seal in their centre and when disrupted this seal is activated as if the user themselves applied to the target. Seal clones costs a c rank of chakra in addition to the cost of the seal itself. Should the clones be dispersed at range the seals are potentially recoverable to be reused at not additional cost by their creator
Name: Seal Link: Charka Construct Sealing Technique Rank: B Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: A little understood and even more rarely seen Jutsu developed by Howl himself based on an appreciation of his own enshrinement seal. This seal upon striking the target creates a temporary link between it and second seal the forms a chakra construct that takes the shape of a shining doll of spindly design made of raw chakra. Though it might look odd on closer inspection the spindly design is actually a chakra network, this the only hint of what is to come. The seal effectively creates a direct link between the construct and the victim allowing the user to then apply upto 3 seals onto the construct before it collapses. Seals applied in this way will appear on the target as if sealed there in person over the equivalent spot on the chakra network. This technique if successful can be used to quickly apply seals to a victim with relative ease. The technique has but one flaw beyond initial application, the seal construct itself is quite weak and will shatter if struck by a c rank technique or higher furthermore while the seal and the construct remain the victim will be able to sense the constructs location making it for more difficult for the user to hide their presence.
Sealing Methods
With aid of both experience, centuries of training and his inner seal Howl’s understanding of seals is breathtaking in its scope. As part of this he knows many techniques that when applied to seals can potentially alter their nature to better suit his purposes
- Quote :
- Name: Advanced Seal Usage
Rank: N/A Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: As one begins to understand seals one learns to apply, activate and harness them in new ways. Advanced seal users, such as Howl, can activate seals of their own creation remotely, apply them to almost any surface, make them activate or become inactive upon coming into contact with certain chakra signatures, make them blood dependant. They can also do this for others, and seals made for others may be customised accordingly. Please not variation of this nature only applies so far as the particular seal allows, seals with very specific usage requirements are understandably limited in the ways they can be attuned.
Name: Permanence Rank: N/A Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: A true master of Fuuinjutsu can make any seal he uses semi-permanent. By using twice the chakra needed any seal can be made semi-permanent. Semi-permanent seals are recycle the chakra with them and thus will always remain active. Such seals have no maximum duration and last till such time as the seal is destroyed where possible or removed by a unsealing technique of the same rank or higher
Name: Jutsu Sealing Technique Rank: C Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: One of the first techniques any sealing specialists learns is how to seal jutsu on paper or within an item. The Jutsu Sealing Technique allows the user with the use of two additional hand seals to seal away a technique formed moments earlier to be released at a later point either on command or after a set time limit. Jutsu can be sealed in all manner of objects but are usually sealed on to paper or inanimate objects. Where the justu has a directional component the seal should be considered the point of origin and any effect will emminate at a 90 degree angle from the seal. For example a fireball technique sealed so will erupt when activated shooting off at a 90 degree angle to the seal itself. S Rank techniques can not be sealed in this way. While quite possible, it is not permissible for balance reasons to carry sealed jutsu on ones person ahead of missions. This technique can only be used once every other post and costs a C rank to activate jutsu in addition to the cost of sealing in the first place
General Sealing Techniques In addition to the above Howl has, as one might expect, a lot of Fuuinjutsu to play with. For the benefit of others these have split into catagories based in their affect. There was no requirement to do this but serves not only to present it better but also to make reviewing more managable
Misc Seals
This section covers all the non-specific generic seals Howl knows of that don’t fall into one of the other catagories:
- Quote :
- Name: Basic Seals
Rank: N/A Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: As a master of the art Howl knows all the basic seals from storage and weight seals to explosive tags and create them instinctively and for very limited chakra cost
Name: Unsealing Techniques Rank: N/A Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: There a myriad of complex techniques used to unseal others and Howl knows them all. They are all relatively quick to perform need no hand seals just sophisticated chakra manipulation to achieve their purpose. With then Howl can remove/unseal any seals he encounters at cost of chakra relative to the amount used to make the seal in the first place
Name: Flesh Sealing Technique Rank: D Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: Often mistaken for a healing technique this is a simple seal that seems to knit flesh and heal wounds. This is a misconception the seal can not heal or repair damage nor purge disease or remove a poison. All it does is seal the flesh around the injury stopping further blood and is capable of halting the spread of poisons and disease when placed appropriately. Wounds sealed in this way will seem healed but are in truth still there and their effects and they pain they cause still felt. An attack that crippled the user’s right arm can be sealed to appear as normal but will still not function properly. In truth this technique does little but by time and hide the extent of the users injuries
Name: Ward Seals Rank: Mixed Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: As seal master of some renowned Howl knows many wards seals that can be used to secure an area or an object. They can not be used on living things. There are many types:
Alarm Seal – D Rank – Alerts Howl if any hostile chakra signature comes within 50 m of the seal. Can be altered to make a large siren go off instead Detonation Seal – C Rank - Normally lighting or Earth Based – Trap seals detonate in a 10m blast equivalent to a C Rank tech if anyone but their maker comes within range Stupidity Seal – C Rank – Temporarily (for 3 rounds) blinds and stupefies anyone who touches an item/object bearing this seal Incapacitation Seal – B Ranks – Release high powered electric current disabling any who touch the sealed object for 3 rounds as well as causing considerable nerve damage Trap Seal – B Rank – Used on buildings/rooms/caves etc it seals the said structure trapping whoever triggered it. They are normally set to go off 3 seconds after a target enters the room. It is a rather problematic seal to deal with as it hardens the room making the walls far more durable. Only an A rank technique or higher can hope to breach the walls and provide an avenue for escape. This can be combined with an incapacitation seal to fill the room with knock gas after the event fully incapacitating the victim after 3 posts
All ward seals need to be triggered as a rule. The never affect their creator and can be blood linked so that they do not affect specific individuals. Howl tends to use them to secure his own base operations when in the field and on personal items.
Name: Chakra Purgation Seal Rank: C Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: This seal requires a complicated serious of handsigns and should be drawn over a central tenketsu point. Once in place it can be activated by the individual flaring chakra a c ranks worth of chakra at its location. Its effect is to purge the person’s chakra system absorbing harmful elements that have affected it. This process is painful and repeated use can lead to prolonged pain or even numbing. Please note only substances/techniques that directly affect the chakra system can be purged in this manner. This is not a healing technique and can not remove toxins or poisons from the body
Name: Mass Storage Seal Rank: C Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: A far more efficient varient of a average storage seal. Though on the surface it appears no bigger they in truth far more complex, requiring greater concentration and are capable of holding far more items weighing up to several tonnes each.
Name: Shikoku Fuuin - Finger Engraving Seal Rank: C Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: Shikoku Fuuin is a Fuuinjutsu technique used by the Howl. By forming the needed sealing chakra on his finger, Howl can engrave a message into an object.
Name: Unfriendly Activation Rank: C-A Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: A simple technique requiring but two minor hand seals to pull off. This technique allows the user to activate any inactive seals, even those he has not created himself within 100m of him. The cost of the technique is equivalent to the seal/s activated in this manner
Name: Banishing Seal Rank: C-S Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: A simple technique involving two hand focusing elemental chakra into ones fingers and drawing a seal on either a summon or a covering lid containing a summon. The summon is thus unsummoned and cannot be used for the remainder of the mission or encounter. The charka cost is equal to the amount used to summon them in the first place
Name: Exploding Kunai Sealing Technique Rank: C-S Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: A simple technique based on the simple exploding tag. After forming two handsigns the user creates a seal upon a parchment which in turn seals itself into the form of Kunai which may then be thrown. While it helps if you a good throw it isn’t that important the power of the technique. This then acts much like a kunai with attached explosive tag but with far greater force (Powerful explosion with a blast radius of 30ft) which can be made to detonate on impact, after a time delay or upon activation. This simple technique can be improved with training and more chakra to involve a greater number of Kunai:
C Rank: One B Rank: Two A Rank: Four S Rank: 8 or One super powered kunai with blast radius of 50ft and enough power to reduce almost any target to slag
The most potent element of the technique is the secrecy behind it. The Kunai appear just like normal ones to the average person and as such make a good choice for a surprise attack. Needless to say simple deflecting these with ones own Kunai is very ill advised
Name: Kekkai • Tengai Foujin - Barrier • Dome Method Seal Formation Type: Fuuinjutsu Rank: B Element:N/A Description:[b] Kekkai • Tengai Foujin is a Fuuinjutsu barrier technique. After performing the necessary handsigns the user will place the seal either on himself or over a specific location. This creates a sensory barrier of up to 25m in diameter that is able to detect the movements of a hidden foe. Should anyone touch the Howl will know their position immediately. Lasts until removed by equivalent unsealing technique
[b]Name: Otoshi Buta Fuuin - Covering Lid Seal Rank: B Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: After Howl performs the needed hand seals and slams his palm on to the ground creating a shining seal. The seal binds any hostile summon in the vicinity up to A Rank drawing them into the seal itself where it remains trapped. It will remain there till the seal is either removed with a unsealing tech or a A Rank or better Jutsu is used to shatter the seal. This technique cannot be used more then once every 5 posts. A rank Summons can only be sealed for a 2 posts in this manner before the overpower the seal of their own accord breaking free. This seal is temporal in nature and lasts at most only until the end of the thread at which point the summon inside will be free and return to its own realm to be summoned once more in another encounter
Name: Soul Reaper Seal Type: Kinjutsu Rank: B Element: N/A Description: A simple chakra siphoning seal that attracts unneeded chakra residue to it and adds it to replenish the bearers own chakra reserves. Since only dead nin have no need for chakra it is commonly referred to as the Soul Reaper seal as it harvests Chakra from the recently dead to aid its bearer. It has creates an unseen aura of 20m around the user and successfully siphons the chakra of individuals who died in the same thread. Any dead body siphoned in this manner will restore an amount of chakra equal to their rank which adds to Howls chakra reserves. This technique can only be used on approved PCs and NPCs
Name: Gate Rank: B Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: An advanced and very powerful traveling technique capable of linking any two doorways whatever there distance allowing any who travel through them instantaneous passage. This is a transportation technique known only by highly trained seal masters. It would be very useful as a means of traveling medium distances but not so great for escaping due to the time involved in forming it. It takes a full post using a existing door as a medium to travel through to form, during which the user must remain still in absolute concentration. When the technique is complete a shimmering surface will fill the open door way revealing the exit beyond and it will close after the user passes through or after 3 posts, whatever happens sooner. A door as a medium is not needed for advanced users who can form their own portal from chakra as a focal point for the technique but doing so costs an additional B ranks worth of chakra. Being caught between the sides of a portal when it collapses is a very bad idea as the user will quite literally be spliced potentially severing body parts or even killing a careless user. This may be used to travel up to 50 miles in one move and can be used to reduce travel time in half. If used in this manner its costs a B rank of chakra for every 6 hours saved. To travel somewhere that would usually take 48 hours in 24 hours would cost 4 B ranks or 2 A ranks. Any travel is this way is still subject to detection rules and it cannot be used to enter threads where no doors are present
Name: Hell Pit Unsealing Technique Rank: A Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: Not dissimilar to the infamous swamp of underworld technique in affect though the principle is quite different. This Jutsu affects an area of upto 20ft in diameter by opening a veil between this world and the parallel one occupied by daemons and abominations of the darkest Nature. The users only needs to prepare the handseals and slam his hand on the ground to form the seal whether he wishes causing the ground to open up revealing 100’s of clawing daemonic hands reaching up to drag unwary victims to their daemonic realm. Those who are caught by the arms and dragged below are never seen again.
Name: Fuuja Houin - Evil Sealing Method Rank: A Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: Fuuja Houin is a Fuuinjutsu technique used to counter-act the effects of a cursed seal. The ninja writes the needed seal characters on the ground and body of the person cursed with the seal. The ninja then forms the needed hand seals and places his hand over the cursed seal and then activates the written seal. The seal characters will then retreat to surround the cursed seal in a circular seal. Though the Fuuja Houin can work well against lesser seals, it will not be able to fully stop a cursed seal placed by a powerful, skilled ninja.
Name: Gogyou Fuuin - Five Elements Seal Rank: A Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: Howl forms an elemental seal on each of his fingers, one for each of the following five "elements": water, metal, earth, fire and wood. He used this odd numbered seal to disrupt the affects of a Bijuu seal making it fair harder for a Jinchuuriki to use and draw chakra from their bijuu
Name: Gogyou Kaiin - Five Elements Unseal Rank: A Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: Howl forms an elemental unseal on each of his fingers, one for each of the following five "elements": water, metal, earth, fire and wood. He then applies his hand with force to the Gogyou Fuuin to remove it
Name: Infuuin • Kai - Secret Mark Seal • Release Rank: S Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description:Infuuin • Kai is a master fuuinjutsu believed to be developed by the Redukko Sennin himself. It’s a complicated seal that stores away unused latent chakra which can then be released back into the body when upon activation. While hideously complicated in practise and thus only known to most skilled Fuuinjutsu users its effects are fairly simplistic. Best described as a rechargeable chakra battery, allowing any bearer to store access raw chakra equal to their own rank. This can be tapped at will once full but the chakra must be used in one post preferably in conjunction with a suitably large technique. Any chakra not used at the end of post its activated will be lost. Once used the seal will once again going dormant till it has refilled This seal places a small but noticeable chakra drain on the user reserves. Every day the users loses a c rank worth of chakra to power it till its reaches capacity at which point it is required to maintain the seal itself. In short the bearer of the seal is permanently short of a c ranks worth of chakra. It takes 12 days for the seal to be fully charged after use.
Name: Planar Rift Rank: S Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: One of the most powerful seals in existence the Planar Rift Seal took Howl over 3 years to perfect and is arguably his most useful seal though limited in actual use by its heavy chakra cost, lack of subtlety and the movement restrictions involved. After performing the 7 necessary hand seals the user plants their feet creating an odd X shaped seal array anywhere within direct LOS, usually infront of themselves of above of below the intended target. This seal array will then collapse in on it self revealing a large planar rift. In theory a rift can be opened anywhere with time and concentration though in practise Howl can only open with any speed to one of 3 places:
1) The Vacuum of Space. This can be used to send anyone within 10ft of opening into vacuum of space or suck up incoming attacks 2) At the bottom of the Novalan Sea Trench, located 2 miles underwater to south of Moon. Releases a large amount of extremely pressurised water which deals large scale water damage. If opened under the victim and the user falls in they will be crushed almost instantly by the vast pressures involved 3) In the main lava vent of the Mt Fujiama, the Iron Counties most active volcano. Unleashes a torrent of searing magma that will reduce almost anything too ash. If opened under the victim and the user falls in death is almost guarrenteed
Where it easy to pull if Howl might not bother with anything else however such a technique is neither easy or without its drawbacks in addition to it costing an S ranks worth of chakra. For one the user most remain stationary throughout the technique, once there feet our planted any further movement will disrupt the seal and bring the rift to an abrupt end. Secondly the large X shape seal array tends to be rather hard to miss making it difficult to use with any subtlety. While invariably fatal if opened under the victim, few fall foul of this trick unless their vision or mind is impaired or otherwise occupied. Alteration Seals
This section covers all the seals that alter or effect the user, a target or an area generally. These seals don’t so much create as change what is already there:
- Quote :
- Name: Extreme Weight Seal
Rank: D Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: A simple yet effective sealing technique it creates a number of very substantial weight seals that weigh down the target, slowing them up considerably and tiring them out. These are not as effective on individuals who are particularly strong and used to such limitations (such as tai mains etc). The seal requires physical contact to apply and wears off after 3 posts
Name: Lock Seal Rank: D Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: A locking seal locks a closable item such as a chest or a door even when there is no actual lock. A lock seal can be removed by doing the technique in reverse. A lock seal does not change the items strength and doesn’t stop a door from being kicked in.
Name: Poison Detection Seal Rank: D Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: Acting as the name suggest, the poison detection seal, can be used to detect the presence of poison and track its progress. It is a very simple seal and costs hardly any chakra to use. It can not purge, cure or heal the damage done by poison though
Name: Self Repair Seal Rank: D-B Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: A simple technique requiring the user too quickly to trace a seal with a glowing outstretched finger on the item in question or nearby it. The item/structure will then repair itself as it was newly formed. Some part of the item must survive for this technique to be used. The amount of chakra needed is relative to size and complexity of the item/structure.
Name: Elemental Resistance Seal Rank: C Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: Similar to a suppression seal except it only affects the items it attached to be it a weapon, piece of armour or a building. Any elemental attacks of the designated element count as a rank lower then would be otherwise. It has no affect on any Nin directly.
Name: Portal Rank: C Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: After performing the necessary hand seals and touching the obstacle in question a handle pops out which upon twisting reveals a doorway. This technique can be used to get through any form of wall or obstruction be it brick, metal or chakra based as though there was a door in it once made the user can simply walk through it. The technique lasts till the portal is closed at which point the wall or obstruction seals as if nothing occurred. This is a great way to escape techniques or enter hard to reach places
Name: Strengthening Seal Rank: C Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: This simple seal requiring only one hand seal allows Howl to strengthen any item, making it more resilient from armour, to weapons and even buildings. Strengthened items are considered twice as strong, with ranked items being a Rank tougher then normal. In relation to items/objects larger then the user this technique requires twice as much chakra. Furthermore objects or structures reinforced this way larger then a small house will only be strengthened for 3 posts.
Name: Truth Seal Rank: C Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: A minor seal that must be applied directly to the targets forehead. Once applied it lasts for 24 hours during which time the target can not physically lie. This does not mean he needs tell the truth and does not compel them to speak but lying while under this seals affects is impossible
Name: Elemental Suppression Seal Rank: B Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: After doing a series of hand seals Howl’s fingers glow and he can directly apply a seal to any surface. A Elemental Suppression Seal affects an area of 50m about it. It affects one element of Howl’s choice causing any jutsu of that same element to have an effect of one rank less then stated as the suppression seal siphons off Chakra. For example if he was to create a Water Suppression Seal, a B rank water would in fact have same impact as a C Rank one within the seals area of affect. All individuals within the area are thusly affected including Howl himself. Only one elemental suppression seal or elemental domination seal can be used at once, thus it is not possible to stack the effects of this seal nor use it to affect more then element at once. Advanced elemented cannot be affected directly but should any element they are based on be affect then chakra cost of the advanced techniques will increase by 25% as the user needs to plough more chakra into the technique to compensate for the weakened element
Name: Retribution Seal Rank: A Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: A simple seal with a unexpectedly nasty affect. After performing the necessary hand seals the user only needs to strike the target with the seal for it to take affect. The seals affect is as simple as it is nasty. While the seal remains the target will take an amount of damage equivalent to that he inflict’s upon then seals creator even where the damage is fatal. This seal only applies in relation to the creator and not others and last 3 posts or until remove by a unsealing technique of comparable rank
Name: Deception Seal Rank: A Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: A complex seal that requires 3 hand signs to perform. A deception seal renders any item or object is attached to invisible to the naked eye and gives the impression that nothing is amiss. This is a great way to hide not just one self but a building, door or cave entrance. It can be seen through be the Byakugan, the sharingan, A rank or high gen users and A rank or high seal masters.
Name: Elemental Domination Seal Rank: A Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: After doing a series of hand seals Howl’s fingers glow and he can directly apply a seal to any surface. Much like its lesser powerful kin, the Elemental Resistance Seal it affects an area of 50m about it. Similar it affects one element of Howl’s choice but where it differs is it causes any jutsu of that same element to have an effect of two rank less (only one rank in relation to S rank techniques) then stated as the suppression seal siphons off Chakra. Furthermore it renders all C rank techniques involving that element ineffective. For example if he was to create a Water aligned Elemental Domination Seal, an A rank water would in fact have same impact as a C Rank one within the seals area of affect. All individuals within the area are equally affected including Howl himself. Only one elemental suppression seal or elemental domination seal can be used at once, thus it is not possible to stack the effects of this seal nor use it to affect more then element at once. Advanced elemented cannot be affected directly but should any element they are based on be affect then chakra cost of the advanced techniques will increase by 50% as the user needs to plough more chakra into the technique to compensate for the much weakened element
Name: Chakra Null Seal Rank: A Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: Used primarily on prisons cell a Chakra Null Seal makes it impossible for anyone to use chakra (with the exception of the unsealing technique) within 10m of it. While it can be removed with a unsealing tech it cannot be harmed by jutsu and chakra based attacks against the seal only strengthen it.
Name: Forbidden Art: Chakra Replication Seal Type: Fuuinjutsu Rank: S Element: N/A Description: Requires 12 hours preparation with a 500 word post followed by a 2k word post to apply and requires both a willing bearer, a S rank seal master and a willing donor. This technique imparts onto the target the highly complex and draining to use Chakra Replication Seal. The seal stores within it the precise chakra structure and nature of the donor and when active will alter the bearer’s own chakra system in line with carbon copy of the donors. This replacement has many effects though the key one is that it enables the target to use their donor’s kkg and secret clan techs as if they had the kekkai genkai themselves. This change is only temporal and only transfers active or usable abilities but not physical traits. For example were the seal to contain the nara kkg then anyone bearing it upon activation could use shadow based techs of their rank or lower. However they wouldn’t gain the dojutsu of an uchiha, due to their eyes been a physical manifestation of their clan’s kkg. Though such a radical change would on its own effectively render the seals bearer unable to channel in normal circumstance the seal itself contains a array of smaller ones overlaying it known as chakra regulation seals which regulate the control of chakra to a manageable flow by means of fluctuating internal tenketsu points, in doing so the sealed individual can maintain unhindered control over their chakra and be able to use techniques as if not affected. This is not without side effects though activating the seal costs an amount of chakra equal to the bearers rank (to maximum of A rank) and maintaining the chakra regulation seals requires an additional amount of chakra equal to one rank lower then the bearer every two posts. Furthermore while active the bearer can not use their own clan based abilities or jutsu. When deactivated the bearers chakra system is restored to its former alignment. This switchback as it is called puts particular strain on the chakra regulation seals which look down a great deal of the users tenketsu seals to ease the transition and in doing so limit the rank of the users available techs in the following post, to one rank lower then the user.
This seal can only be applied once per person and contain within it the chakra structure for one clan only. Once applied the bearer can activate it will by pumping the appropriate amount of chakra in to it with all the effects as described above Movement Limitation Seals
This section covers all the seals that can be used to imprison or otherwise greatly impede action by the target/s:
- Quote :
- Name: Leg Locker Seal
Rank: C Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: After performing the two handsigns involved chakra will form at the users finger tips and then can be sealed in either paper to be activated at a later point or on the victim himself. The leg locker seal causes the victims legs to lock together as if seen from the ankle up. This will remain the case for 5 post. During this time the user can’t walk, run or sprint though they can jump, hop and leap. If used on a target in motion this will almost certainly cause them trip up and stumble over.
Name: False Prison: Inner Confliction Seal Rank: B Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: This rare seal is both akin to and very different from the ninjutsu prison techs that exist. Like water prison it is designed to hold ones foe in place but unlike it does not to do so by rendering the victim immobile but by more sinister means. Requiring activation within 6 ft of the intended target, this technique causes a golden colour translucent sphere to surround the target 10ft in diameter around the user. Unlike other prison techniques the target is still free to do as they as they wish and even to leave the sphere, however doing so applies both an elemental suppression seal and a chakra absorption seal. Though this isn’t broadcasted the shimmering wall of prison gives off an unsettling aura making it apparent that passing through it would be a mistake. So far from holding people with walls it creates inner turmoil as they must weigh the risks of attempting escape against the equally problematic issue of being trapped within and in doing so makes this false prison stronger then many real ones. The prison lasts 5 posts or until the victim leaves it and does not require its creator to maintain it Genjutsu Seals
As an almost equally skilled master of Genjutsu Howl has developed a number of seals that aid his use of it or make his opponent more vulnerable to it:
- Quote :
- Name: Genjutsu Intolerance Seal
Rank: C Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: This Seal requires 4 hand signs to perform and must be applied to the head of the target/person in question. Once in place the seal links itself directly to the persons mind and sustains itself by altering the flow of chakra to go through it. The seal activates if any foreign chakra or influence affects the chakra around the brain causing the person in question to suffer a shot lived if not inconsiderable jolt of pain by shocking nearby nerves. This seal serves as an effective means to inform the individual if he is under a genjutsu and can dispel genjutsu techniques of C Rank or below by means of the pain it causes. This seal must be placed on a person prior to a genjutsu attack to be effective and thus is of limited user once battle commences. It does not cost any chakra to maintain due to the seal being largely dormant most of the time
Name: Mental Stimulation Seal Rank: C Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: Requiring 3 hand seals this seal should it be placed on a victim will stimulate the victims chakra system, heightening emotional and nerve sensitivity 2 fold making everything seem more real and traumatising. On its own is does no damage but anyone unfortunate enough to have one on placed on them becomes far more susceptible to genjutsu and pain with all genjutsu targeted against them counting as a rank higher then they truly are and the pain felt by the victim amplified two fold. It can be removed using an unsealing technique
Name: Genjutsu Regeneration Seal Rank: C-S Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: A very specific and in the right hands useful seal indeed. A simple one to perform requiring but a few hand seals if applied to a target has a rather unexpected affect. At first it appears to fail but in truth it lies dormant weighting for specific action to take place, the expulsion of genjutsu by Kai or similar genjutsu removal technique when it activates reapplying the former genjutsu at the beginning of the next post as if the kai had never occurred. It can keep doing this till such time as it runs out of chakra. The rank of the Genjutsu regeneration seal reflects the amount of chakra it has within it to reapply genjutsu. For example a B rank genjutsu regeneration seal will be to regenerate one B rank or 2 C rank or 4 D rank genjutsu should they be kai
Name: Kai Punishment Seal Rank: B Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description:A variation of the Genjutsu Regeneration Seal this technique works almost identically the only difference is the result is less of aid to the user so much as a way to punish the victim. While affected by this seal the user suffers an amount of damage equivalent to being hit directly by a c rank technique everytime the successfully kai or otherwise dispel a genjutsu. This seal last 10 posts or until remove by a sealing technique of an equivalent rank Justsu Sealing & Defensive Seals
This section covers all the seals that are in generally use to seal away Jutsu or otherwise neutralise it and those that serve to defend the user in other ways:
- Quote :
- Name: Gofuu Kekkai - Four Seal Barrier
Rank: C Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: Gofuu Kekkai is a Fuuinjutsu technique utilized by Howl. The five "kin" (prohibition) seals act together to form a barrier to cover an entrance to a bulding, a cave system or indeed any sizeable portal. The portal itself is marked with one tag, and four other tags are located within a few hundred meters of each other. To remove the barrier, all four tags must be removed at the same moment.
Knowing that the barrier has this weakness, Howl may add further protection, in the form of Kyoumen Shuuja no Jutsu. When the four surrounding tags are removed, a doppelganger of the person who removed it will emerge from the ground and battle them. The doppelganger can utilize all the same moves as the original, even bloodline techniques but has only a 1/3 of the users endurance/chakra
Name: Paralysis Seal Rank: C Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: Placed on the ground after forming the necessary hand signs a Repulsion seal creates a sealed area 5m in radius around the user. Anything other then the user that tries to cross the seal from outside will be frozen in place for one post unable to move. If combined with a Repulsion Seal it has the effect of not only paralysing but then sending them flying with great speed in the opposite direction. This seal lasts 5 posts or until removed using a unsealing technique. However unlike the repulsion seal the edge of it shines faintly serving to warn others of the danger of approaching. This does not however reveal the seals nature just that one is in effect
Name: Repulsion Seal Rank: B Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: Placed on the ground after forming the necessary hand signs a Repulsion seal creates a sealed area 5m in radius around the user. Anything other then the user that tries to cross the seal from outside will be repelled and be pushed back forcibly as if hit by a C rank wind technique. This seal lasts 5 posts or until removed using a unsealing technique. Fire Jutsu are enhanced by this technique though the greater part of the heats also tends to be redirected by the on rushing wind. Any fire jutsu that hits the seal area will automatically strike the seals user though as if two ranks lower then the Jutsu’s actual rank. Unfortunately anyone within 10ft of the edged sealed area will be struck as if hit by a Justu one rank higher as the wind heightened Jutsu burns all about
Name: Sanbou Kyuukai - Three Buddhist Treasures Vacuum Destruction Rank: B Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: Requiring 3 hand seals to perform and ending with the horse seal this technique with the users arms form a triangle with the last handseal at the top. This creates 3 small seals in triangular formation, one forming over each elbow and the last over the handseal which serve as anchors for the real seals that hover unseen some 1 m in front of the user. A foot behind this but in front of the use a 2m wide swirling vortex will form in the shape of these unseen seals. The effect of this complex seal array is to suck up with great force all the surrounding objects, items and materials like a vacuum through the triangular space and into the vortex where upon they are broken down into nothingness. This technique can suck up anything within 30m of the target that is not firmly rooted to the ground, such as trees etc but only in front of the portal. This technique has no effect on the user but does require the user stand still during the relative shortly takes to set up and while it is maintained. The portal is powerful but as result only works briefly and can be held for a maximum of a post
Name: Kenetic Reversal Seal Rank: B-A Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: After performing the necessary hand seals Howl’s hand will glow fingers will glow with chakra. To apply the seal all he need to touch a surface and rotate his hand 90 degrees clockwise to activate it. Once active a Kenetic Reversal Seal reverses all kenetic energy above a basic level within 10ft of the seal itself. Anything with that takes more force then is involved in brisk walking, crouching or performing a hand seal is reversed by the seal on the originator of the action. Punches, kicks, even weapon strikes will have there kenetic energy turn back on the originator with potentially devastating effects. Jutsu are likewise affected though only so far as their Kenetic energy is concerned. With this seal is active punches intended at the target will own harm oneself and wind jutsu designed to knocked the victim off the feet have a tendancy to send the user flying instead. This particular seal is commonly used in training to test genin reflexes, by placing it on a wall and asking unsuspecting genin to throw kunai at it only for the kunai to fly back the way the came as the draw closer. There are two varients of this Seal a basic variant that costs a B rank worth of Jutsu the affects all actions that pass within 10ft of it and a A rank one which involves an additional or more complicated seal superimposed over the top. This further seal nullifies the affects of the original with regard to the creators action by designing it not to activate in relation to the users chakra signature. In such way the user can pass within the 10ft are and not be affected by the seals startling properties. The seal lasts until destroyed or removed
Name: Elemental Sealing Method Rank: B-A Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: This is a Fuuinjutsu technique that allows the ninja to seal away a nearby element. After unrolling a scroll to hold the attack, the ninja writes the needed sealing incantation onto the scroll. Then by forming the needed handseals, a vapour will emanate from the scroll to encompass the element and take it back to the scroll for sealing. This is not particularly useful against fast attacks in personal defence given it takes slightly longer the average jutsu but is great at countering powerful elemental based abilities or saving many from a broad ranged attack. For example this can used to stop an incoming tidal wave or a destructive blaze. An attack stopped in this manner can be sent back at them by reversing technique at a cost of a C ranks worth chakra.
Name: Ninjutsu Grounding Seal Rank: B-S Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: After forming the necessary handseals this rather unique seal has a rather colourful and at the same time unexpected affect. It grounds or rather absorbs any hostile Ninjutsu that passes within 30ft of it by causing the technique to revert to its raw chakra form and in a rather odd visual display be sucked as a stream of raw glowing blue chakra into the seal. Anything from fireballs to waves can be affected in this manner and its not unheard for a fireball to flung at a seal master using such a seal only for it to stutter before the end, stop burning and return to its base chakra form before being absorbed into the seal. While a very effective defence against Ninjutsu it does involve a certain amount of investment since it will only ever absorb as much chakra as was used the seal in the first place so the user must use some of his own in anticipation of attacks might never come. Ninjutsu that of a high rank then the Grounding Seal or the remaining space within it are not stopped by the grounding seal but are merely reduced by the amount of space left in the seal. For example where an A rank tech to pass within 30ft of a till then unused B Rank Grounding Seal, a b ranks worth of chakra will be absorbed reducing the attacks potency by an equivalent amount. Once it has absorbed its limit the creator can either remove it at no cost using the chakra within it or activate it creating a powerful explosion relative to the rank of the Seal centring on its location:
B Rank: 15m blast radius A Rank: 30m blast radius S Rank: 50m blast radius
Unfortunately despite many attempts to the no is known way of recycling the chakra locked in the seal to restore ones own reserves.
Name: Seal Array: Charka Reflection Technique Rank: A Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: A complicated and nasty technique requiring activation within 6ft of the target. While the initiation is visible the immediate effect of it is not often giving the perception the technique has failed to work. What has actually happened is a spherical seal array 20ft in diameter has formed around the target that actually follows the target about. It causes no harm, or rather no direct harm and can be seen without a applicable dojutstu. it does however have one rather horrific affect. The surrounding array is made up of 6 evenly space reflection seals that have the combined and rather unfortunate affect of causing any ninjutsu that hits the sphere’s walls to bounce back akin to a pinball bouncing off a bumper often shooting back towards the victim. Of course since all the walls are like this its quite possible for techniques to bounce multiple times often meaning that one dodge isn’t good enough to stave off the randomly moving attack Though not visible ordinarily it momentarily shimmers every time its walls are struck and rings with a bell quality making it quite clear from that point on that the user is surrounded by a less then pleasant seal array. Most important the six seals lining the field evenly around its circumference will appear as well, if only for a moment. It is possible to destroy the seal array by destroying all 6 seals at once. This can be done by either using any S rank damaging technique or a B rank or higher technique that inflicts area damage of least 10ft in diameter so that it will strike all the seals simultaneously. Should the latter be chosen however it does have the unfortunate side effect of collapsing creating a backlash that will catch the Nin caught within too. S ranks techniques are so powerful however they smash through the seal array without a great deal of difficulty. Please not since the seal array follows the user about it can not be easily harmed by direct close combat attacks and techniques
Name: Sanctuary Seal Rank: S Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: Also know as a Phase Seal, a sanctuary seal creates a protective glowing bubble 4m sphere in diameter. Those within the sphere are fazed out of reality much like madara can do with his own body and thus any attacks will not physically or mentally harm them. The downside is while in the bubble the user can not act back thus giving its name. This technique is often used to protect injured allies or provide a moments respite. The seal last 10 rounds or until such time as it occupants step out of it. It is not possible to enter a area covered by a sanctuary seal, only to leave it (thus its not possible to keep jumping in or out of the seal to use techs and then hide again).

| Chakra Impact Seal
The section covers all seals that directly affect a target’s Chakra Network normally either by shutting it down, draining it or otherwise harming it:
- Quote :
- Name: Physical Energy Regeneration Sealing Technique
Rank: B Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description:This technique creates a complicated seal which does nothing more then intricately edit the workings of a chakra network, either you own or another’s. What it does is radically change the flow of chakra causing ones output of physical energy to greatly increase while diminishing the spirit energy within. This makes it impossible to manipulate chakra in a normal way or use jutsu however by passing this new form of high physical energy chakra throughout ones body you can replicate affects more commonly seen in medical jutsu. The excess physical energy rebuilds and repairs damaged tissue, increases clotting speed, fights infections, virus and poisons and speeds up the effect of regenerative or medical techniques. This technique can be used for a maximum of 5 posts consecutively and the user must wait at least one post before using it again. While in effect the target of the seal loses the ability to manipulate chakra in exchange for the following benefits:
Poison/Toxin/ Viral Resistance: A rank of higher poisons, Toxins and other contaminants work twice as slowly when under its effects. B rank ones and lower are affected similarly but will additionally be purged from the system after this is used for 4 consecutive posts Heightened Regeneration: Where no healing or regeneration or is occurring the user will experience healing akin to a c ranks medical technique every post it is in affect. Where healing or regeneration is occurring the speed of it is doubled Quick Clotting, Infection Clearing: All wounds whatever their size will clot within 3 posts of this technique taking affect. Infectious wounds will be cleaned within 5 posts of this technique taking affect.
While useful this technique is largely avoided due to its severe restrictions on jutsu is except to stabilise highly damaged Nin. It has in the passed being used to keep people going long enough till they can received much needed medical attention.
Ichushiro Clan members are unique in that they can recreate the effects of this seal without actually creating the seal itself simply be altering though internal seal a long the same lines. Though the must use chakra to initiate it they do not need to use hand signs when applying it to themselves and may turn the effects on and off at will. However during any post where this jutsu is active the user is similarly unable to manipulate chakra
Name: Chakra Kyuuin Fuuin - Chakra Absorption Seal Rank: B Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: After performing the necessary hand seals Howl’s hand will glow with chakra. When he touches his palm on his opponent’s body he will imprint a seal on his opponent that siphons off physical and spiritual energy out of them, returning it to Howl at the rate of a C ranks worth of chakra a turn. By reducing their chakra while boosting his own, it greatly increases his advantage over his opponent. The seal is removed with an unsealing tech of equal power or better of by destroying the seal itself though such an act of self mutilation causes considerable blood loss and weakens the owner in its own way
Name: Chakra Shut Out Seal Rank: B Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: This seal when placed on a person forcibly seals the tenketsu points in the limb/body part touched making it anywhere from very difficult to virtuallty impossible to manipulate chakra within them till the seal is removed either by physically cutting it out or use of a sealing technique. Cutting out a seal is not only painful and disfiguring but life threatening depending on where the seal is placed. The effects various parts of the body differently depending on the part struck:
Leg: Slows the user down and makes it impossible to manipulate chakra in the limb preventing/restricting most speed related moves, water/tree walking, jumping beyond civilian levels and generally slows an opponent down 25% Arm: User cannot use the arm for any chakra manipulation and or to perform handseals. It is also not possible to pump chakra into ones strikes leading to 25% reduction in strength Lower Torso: Prevents chakra reaching either leg. This has the cumlative effect on their speed reducing by 50% in addition to the affects described in regard to a Leg strike Head: Renders them incapable of shaping jutsu in their mind, thus incapable of doing jutsu at all as well as deactivating dojutsu during their time it remains active. The loss of chakra also dulls their senses slowing down the victim’s reaction time by 50%. It has the fortunate side effect of making the victim immune to genjutsu on the other hand as there is no longer any chakra surrounding their minds for others to manipulate and will instantly break any genjutsu currently affecting them Upper Body: Striking this area will directly affect the centres of the chakra network. People struck here will experience all the above effects as there chakra system shuts down.
Name: Chakra Intolerance Seal Rank: A Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: Those who have always considered the draining affect of using Jutsu on their chakra the worse cost related to using them should think again. With the application of this powerful and complicated seal to a target the chakra system warps and changes to become highly unstable, corrosive and damaging not unlike the concentrate malevolent chakra of the Kyuubi. Victims affected by this seal will suffer internal damage of every time directly equivalent to one rank less then technique used. Spamming Jutsu when affected by this seal can quickly reduce even the most hardy Nin to jibbering wreck as their own chakra system dissolves and melts the flesh from their bones. This seals last 3 posts or until removed using a unsealing technique of A rank or higher
Name: Charka Immolation Seal Rank: A Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: Requiring 5 hand signs to perform the chakra immolation is another touch based seal with horrifying effects. Should a person be struck by this seal it will have the unfortunate effect of causing the stricken individuals localised chakra network to spontaneously combust causing immense internal damage and destroying the chakra coils within. Should it be allowed to spread through the system the resulting chain reaction will invariably kill the victim. Fortunately every chakra network has an internal defence system which will automatically react to the use of this seal by closing the nearest primary tenketsu point isolating attack and limiting the damage caused. Any limb struck so will effectively seize to be usable and will be unable to mould chakra and a direct hit to the chest or head is almost certainly fatal. This technique is incredibly effective when used on an individual who is gating should it manage to hit as the immense amount of chakra released in gating makes it impossible to seal ones tenketsu points effectively allowing its effects to spread throughout the victims chakra network
Name: Divine Judgement: 8 Gate Deconstruction Seal Rank: S Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: This technique was created by Howl Takashi to test the limits and his mastery of the art form. The Divine Judgement: 8 Gate Deconstruction Seal is among the most complicated and powerful seals ever devised. It was inspired after observing another Nin of gret power centuries ago who used gating in battle to great affect. He observed first hand the vast amount of chakra it unleashed and the damaging effects it had even on the elite Nin's well trained and experienced body. He devised a sealing technique that exploited it but it was far too complicated and time consuming too be combat effective. To correct the issue he designed an ever more complicated seal that replicated the convoluted and lengthy sealing process needed allowing the techniques to be performed in a fraction of the time. The sealing technique takes the form of a large complex seal arrangement tattooed over the user’s arm. It takes over 24 hours to apply to a person and requires an unparalleled understanding of seals and chakra manipulation. Failed or disrupted attempts to apply it can cause immense pain, personal injury or even permanently burn out the user’s chakra coils. The seal in itself does nothing but can be used to perform the following sealing technique in a fraction of the time they would usually require:
Name: Divine Judgement: 8 Gate Release Immolation Sealing Technique (aka the living bomb technique) Rank: S Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: This seal requires a Divine Judgement: 8 Gate Deconstruction Seal to user effectively. It incorporates no less then 28 lesser seals within it, each with a defined role, whose combined result is far more then a sum of its individual parts. Its is heinously complicated in theory but is in practise simple to use thanks to the Divine Judgement: 8 Gate Deconstruction Seal effectively doing all the mind boggling manipulation needed for this technique. All the user needs to do is simply focus an immense amount of charka (equivalent to S ranks worth) into the seal at a steady rate over the course of one post to activate it. To an outside observer the individuals arm starts to glow in a bright golden hue as chakra appears to dance across his skin, for those who can see the flow of chakra the sight is truly astonishing with each individual strand being a tiny seal flowing in a breathtaking and unreal fashion. However their amazement soon fade as after activated the seal will form and the shining aura will turn blood red and radiate raw power. The user has 5 turns after activation to strike his opponent within the sealed arm before the chakra recedes. Holding it any longer will risk damaging the user’s own chakra network, potentially permanently. This technique combines a chakra immolation seal with a far more intricate series of seals with truly explosive effects that have one unfortunate purpose, to forcibly open all 8 of a persons internal chakra gates instantly. Gating even at lower levels takes extensive specialist training to endure and should be opened in stages to allow ones body to cope with the forces and pressure unleashed. In forcibly opening all 8 gates the toll on the body of the seal’s victim is unprecedented. The resultant chakra surge will instantly warp the victim’s chakra coils making further chakra manipulation impossible as well as causing unbelievable physical and mental pain as their chakra network is forcibly expanded beyond their natural limits, causing extensive internal injury. Unfortunately the worse is yet to come for the immolation seal has yet to activate. The user will do so remotely when at a safe distance and with horrific results. Under normal circumstances an immolation seal is stopped in its path with the victims chakra network sealing the nearest main tenketsu point to mitigate damage and stop its spread. However thanks to opening all the internal gats the chakra unleashed is so great that every tenketsu point is at bursting point, unable to seal itself, allowing for the immolation seals affects to spread throughout the victims chakra network. If the Nin in question is not on their knees before they will be now as their chakra system goes into critical mass and attacks the body directly melting their flesh from their bones. Superheated chakra will melt their eyes in seconds and pour out of the mouth and through there now empty eye sockets like beams of light. There skin will crack revealing a whirling vortex of chakra beneath. The screams of the victim and the eyrie light coming from them are all the warning those nearby will receive as a moment later then chakra within hits critical mass and explodes. The resulting explosion is unleashed as a sphere like wave of raw concentrate chakra reducing everything in the nearby vicinity to ash. The radius of the blast is dependant on the victim’s chakra reserves and is as follows:
Civilians: No blast D Rank or Lower: 1m blast radius C Rank: 3 m blast radius B Rank: 10m blast radius A Rank: 20m blast radius S Rank: 30m blast radius
Basic/Academy Jutsu
Akio has made a point of learning the basic techniques after an embarrassing situtation. In truth he had barely bothered to learn them until 7 years ago he went to inspect the academy and was asked if he could kindly demonstrate his mastery of these most simple of techniques to a number of classes. He remember giving a rather weak excuse to avoid doing so and feeling far less certain when he left. Deciding to put aside his seal and genjutsu research for a short time he quickly learnt the following jutsu and over time mastered them should such an occasion ever arise again
- Quote :
- Name: Henge no Jutsu - Transformation Technique
Rank: E Type: Ninjutsu Element: N/A Description: Henge no Jutsu is a ninjutsu technique which every ninja learns at the Ninja Academy. Henge allows the ninja to transform themselves into any person or object. This allows the ninja to move with stealth or to trick their opponents
Name: Kawarimi no Jutsu - Change of Body Stance Technique Rank: E Type: Ninjutsu Element: N/A Description: Kawarimi no Jutsu is a basic Ninjutsu technique. When in danger the ninja will quickly substitute themself with another nearby object. This can be a block of wood or even another person. This allows the ninja to quickly flee and hide while the original object takes the brunt of their opponents attack.
Name: Suimen Hokou no Waza - Act of Water Surface Walking Rank: E Type: N/A Element: N/A Description: A variation on the Kinobori no Waza (Act of Tree Climbing), the art of water surface walking allows a ninja to walk on water as if it was a solid surface. Focusing an even amount of chakra out of the soles of their feet, they can balance themselves on the very surface of the water
Name: Kinobori no Waza - Act of Tree Climbing Rank: E Type: N/A Element: N/A Description: Kinobori no Waza, the art of tree climbing serves a dual purpose. Taking part in Kinobori Shugyou (Tree Climbing Training) helps a ninja learn how to focus their chakra. It also teaches the ninja how to run up trees and walk on vertical walls. The training helps the ninja learn how to focus just the right amount of chakra to a particular part of their body. The amount needed to climb is small but it must be precise. The feet are regarded as the hardest location to master chakra focusing. So by gaining the art of this skill, the ninja will have any jutsu available (theoretically) because they will be able to focus their chakra as needed
Name: Explosion Tag: Activate Rank: E Type: Ninjutsu Element: N/A Description: The user will activate an explosion tag. Normally, the tag will be placed by them, so they know where it is and can easily activate it.
Name: Nawanuke no Jutsu - Escaping Skill Rank: E Type: Ninjutsu Element: N/A Description: A very basic technique that allows a ninja to escape from rope binds.
Name: Kai - Release Rank: D Type: Ninjutsu Element: N/A Description: Kai is a Ninjutsu technique which allows the ninja to avoid the effects of a Genjutsu illusion. After forming the needed handseals, the Genjutsu technique will not affect the ninja. The ninja can also use the technique on another individual who was unable to avoid the attack. After forming the needed hand seals, the ninja touches the one affected to end the affect of the spell.
Name: Shunshin no Jutsu - Body Flicker Technique Rank: D Element: N/A Description: Shunshin no Jutsu is a basic Ninjutsu technique. The ninja will appear and disappear in an instant, allowing them to retreat or attack suddenly. To facilitate the movement the ninja will often use nearby elements such as mist, sand or leaves to mask their appearance or disappearance. Name: Kuchiyose no Jutsu - Summoning Technique Type: Ninjutsu Rank: C Element: N/A Description: A powerful jutsu, Ninpo Kuchiyose allows a ninja to summon animals, objects and the dead to fight on their behalf. The ninja normally signs a blood contract with the animal species, which allows him to summon different size and skill levels of creature
Kinjutsu Some techniques ancient and largely long forgotten do not fit into normal classifications. Howl knows a few banned techniques that are neither seals nor genjutsu
- Quote :
- Name: Rashoumon - Summoning • Rashoumon
Type: Kinjutsu Rank: B Element: N/A Description: Kuchiyose • Rashoumon is a forbidden summoning technique used by Howl. Howl can summon it by drawing blood and then slamming his palm to the ground. Only a very powerful impact can mar the gate. C rank technique or lower will have no affect on it. A B rank technique will destroy it but no harm will come to Howl. A ranks are capable of piercing the walls defence and potentially striking Howl though the should this occur the damage is reduced by 2 ranks accordingly to reflect the strength lost breaking through it
Name: Sanjuu Rashoumon - Triple Rashoumon Type: Kinjutsu Rank: A Element: N/A Description: Sanjuu Rashoumon is a Ninjutsu summoning technique utilized by Howl. One Rashoumon gate alone was said to be one of his strongest defences, with this variation he can summon three of the gates in succession to help block a great incoming blast. Because the gates requires two summoning calls (a right and left), he will bite both his right and left thumbs to initiate the contract. While incredibly hardy the gates are not invincible and even if daemonic in nature are still fixed barriers and thus only capable of stopping attacks coming from a single direction. The Triple Rashoumon can not be harmed by c rank or lower techniques and will lose one gate per B rank technique used against and be wholly destroyed by a A rank technique though Howl will take no harm. S rank techniques will level all 3 gates but will only strike the user as if they were a A rank. If one has time or the inclination the best way to deal with these massive and powerful gates is to avoid them or go around them.
GenjutsuHowl is a proponent of two particular schools of genjutsu, kyousei no jutsu and Yume Tsukurite however he does also know some common ones too - Quote :
- Name: Vocalisation
Type: Genjutsu Transmission Technique Rank: N/A Element: N/A Description: A master of vocalisation, as Howl is, can use his larynx to shape chakra as effectively as any hand seal. A user of vocalisation can replace a needed hand seal by saying its name clearly while imbuing chakra in ones larynx. In this way they can use hand seal based techniques without need for the arms. Furthermore techniques formed in this way will effect any who hear the final hand sign allowing for the technique to take hold be means of sound rather then the usual method. While highly useful it does have some downsides:
1) All hand signs replaced in this way must be stated clearly and confidently to work, this normally makes it very hard to surprise anyone with it and normally puts people on their guard 2) Any traits or abilities to increase seal speed have no bearing on vocalisation. No matter how fast one can form hand seals the necessity to speak clearly and confidently makes vocalisation comparatively slow especially for uses highly adapted with hand seals
Vocalisation can be mixed with hand seals though the last handsign must always be vocalised if the user intends it to be a sound based genjutsu. For example to perform a genjutsu that requires 4 hand seals by doing 2 hand seals and 2 vocalisations, or 3 of one and one of the other though in all cases the last one must be vocalised for the gen to carried by sound
The hand seals and their respective names:
Rat_________________ NE Ox _________________ Ushi Tiger________________ Tora Hare________________ U Dragon______________ Tatsu Snake_______________ Mi Horse_______________ Uma Ram________________ Hitsuji Monkey_____________ Saru Rooster______________ Tori Dog_________________Inu Boar________________ I Name: Kasumi Juusha no Jutsu - Mist Servant Technique Type: Genjutsu Rank: D Element:N/A Description: Kasumi Juusha no Jutsu is a Genjutsu technique that creates false attackers to delay and confuse the enemy. Though these servants are not real, the actual ninja is able to remain hidden and throw kunai and shuriken matching the movements of the servants. This makes it appear the false servants are capable of attacking. When the enemy attempts to attack the servant, they will merely disrupt the servants illusion body but not destroy it.
Name: Magen • Jigoku Gouka no Jutsu - Demonic Illusion • Hell Fire Technique Type: Genjutsu Rank: C Element:N/A Description: Magen • Jigoku Gouka no Jutsu is a Genjutsu technique that causes its target to see a vision of fire. After Yoroi forms the needed handseals, a huge ball of fire will descend from the sky to envelope his target. The victims of the genjutsu will believe they are being engulfed by a torrent of fire and flee their location for safety.
Name: Magen • Narakumi no Jutsu - Demonic Illusion • Hell Viewing Technique Type: Genjutsu Rank: D Element:N/A Description: Magen • Narakumi no Jutsu is a Genjutsu technique that causes its target to see a horrifying vision. The ninja will use the serpent hand seal to cause a circle of leaves to spin and envelop the target and then fall away. Once cast the world will appear normal to the target until they see the illusion.

Name: Kori Shinchuu no Jutsu - Sly Mind Affect Technique Type: Genjutsu Rank: C Element:N/A Description: Kori Shinchuu no Jutsu is a Genjutsu technique which causes the target to travel around in circles. If the ninja is unable to detect the illusion very quickly, they can become exhausted mentally and physically when they are unable to reach their desired target by traveling along the same path over and over.
Name: Delay Type: Genjutus Variation Technique Rank: B Element:N/A Description: Any genjutsu may, for the cost of one rank more then it would normally cost, be made dormant only activating after a certain time, at a certain/date or event or the furfillment of a certain requirement is met. While dormant a technique can not be kai’d and can only be removed in the highly unlikely event its detected by a genjutsu user of the same rank as the jutsu used or higher and for the same amount of chakra used to create it.
Name: Kokuangyou no Jutsu - Journey into Black Darkness Technique Type: Genjutsu Rank: A Element:N/A Description: Kokuangyou no Jutsu is a Genjutsu technique which causes the ninja's opponent to be enveloped in total darkness. While in the black void, the ninja will be unable to see any incoming attack or threat.
kyousei no jutsu ~ The Art of CompulsionControl is subjective there are those that have it and those who think they do kyousei no jutsu better known as the Art of Compulsion is among the most subtle and manipulative forms of Genjutsu, rarely practised due to its complicated nature and the fact that its users tend to be by their very nature secretive and manipulative unwilling to share or divulge their arcane knowledge. Those who study this form of genjutsu are apt at using the power of illusion and deception to charm, compel and even dominate others. Not dissimilar in effect to the Yamanaka’s of Konoha a Nin specialised in this form of the manipulative arts learns to make others question not just their eyes, but the memories, thoughts and even their identities.

- Name: Convince
Rank: D Type: Genjutsu Element: N/A Description: Requiring two hand seals or the use of a genjutsu focus it affects any in conversation with the user (or simply listening in) at the time of use. This technique affects everyone in conversation with the user at the time of activation. It is a potent yet simple technique that relies on the fact that the human mind with the proper inducement willingly accepts any logical reason for things. The convince technique manipulates the chakra around their brain causing them to become susceptible to the words of others and believe the users words to be true. This incredibly subtle and as such is limited in its application. It cannot be used to give an order or compel and must not be at odds to what the individual knows to be true. It can not for instance be used to convince them that certain actions or event that know occurred did not happen but can be used to add details or change perceptions of the events. This can be used to make guards or Nin think you are not who they are looking for or convince others that certain facts are true whether they are or not. While limited in use the best part of it is that it is very short lived lasting only as long as the user needs to convince the target, normally just a matter of seconds. Once convinced the users own belief in the fact will sustain it beyond, much as any one once convinced of a fact will believe till a stronger counter argument is used meaning that it is often used, finished and effective before others realise a gen has been used at all. Its brief nature and minimal effect makes it incredibly difficult to notice Difficulty: D Rank
Name: Charm Rank: D Type: Genjutsu Element: N/A Description: A subtle genjutsu more at home in the bar and tea house then the battlefield. The Charm technique makes the user appear more appealing to the target and cause them to be more relaxed in their company. Requiring one hand seal or the use of a genjutsu focus it causes anyone who looks the user to be charmed in his company. This genjutsu affects any who can see the user at the time of use and lasts till the genjutsu is dispelled. A charmed individual will be reluctant to harm the user and will never initiate any battle with the user unless his mission requires him. Furthermore there is strong possibility that charmed individuals will move to help the user should a fight break out as one would do a close friend. This has no effect when battle has commenced. This technique is incredibly difficult to notice as it is designed especially to make the target feel comfortable and trusting in the user’s presence Difficulty: D Rank
Name: Confuse Rank: D Type: Genjutsu Element: N/A Description: A simple yet effective technique. This genjutsu can be used either by means of handseal or use of a gen focus and lasts till the genjutsu is dispelled. When affected by these genjutsu individuals are easily confused and become unsure of them selves as the chakra around their mind makes it difficult to focus on things. It is hard to think clearly on things and they are more susceptible to other kyousei no jutsu, raising their difficulty by one rank. In addition in a non combat situation a victim of this technique tends to become muddled and is prone to forgetting what he is doing. In a combat situation it reduces the targets reaction speed by 25% and makes them easily thrown off be changes in tactics or circumstances. This effects lasts for 7 posts or until dispelled Difficulty: C Rank
Name: Harmless Rank: D Type: Genjutsu Element: N/A Description: This genjutsu does no harm to its target. Requiring only two hand seals or the use of a genjutsu focus it causes anyone affected to view the user and his companions as harmless. Given its subtle nature it is generally very difficult to notice. This causes them to become complacent and consider them either not worth their time or little threat. Out of combat this technique can be used to keep off unwanted attention while in combat it limits affect enemies will never use a rank of their own rank, but rather at a rank below or less not wanting to waste chakra or such a miserable opponent. For example a B Rank Nin so affect will be limited to c rank techniques while technique is in effect. This lasts until either dispelled, the target is harmed by the user at which point the false complacency falls to weigh side or the target uses a Jutsu above the targets own rank. This technique is practically unnoticeable making very to detect Difficulty: D Rank
Name: Emotional Shift Rank: D Type: Genjutsu Element: N/A Description: This causes the victim to feel specific emotions by inducing the victim’s mind into feeling them. This is most commonly used to get a victim into a desired state of mind such as making someone fearless fearful in preparation of using a fear inducing technique or making someone brave cowardly. This only affects one emotion which must be stated at the time of use. The genjutsu itself lasts only seconds but its effects last for 5 posts to reflect the time taken to suppress the emotions brought to the surface. Difficulty: C Rank
Name: False memory Rank: D-B Type: Genjutsu Element: N/A Description: By use of either of 2 simple hand seals or a genjutsu focus and focusing on the target for 5 seconds howl can give the target a false memory replacing an old one. The power and thus the respective rank needed to do this is highly dependant on how different the memory was to the original with slight changes requiring little effort to do and being harder to see through. The more out of line with reality the change the more chakra is needed to soothe the targets sense of disbelief.
D Rank: Change details of a memory such as a numbers, words, colours, weather etc but the actions and the individuals concerned remain the same C Rank: Change actions or identity of individuals involved but not both as well as any basic detail B Rank: Change any part of a specific part of the memory
Should the genjutsu be broken before or during its application no change will occur but once the memory is changed dispelling the genjutsu will not change it back. It will take close inspection by a skilled genjutsu user or mind manipulator to notice the alteration and correct it. The technique itself only last 5 seconds and believed if successful its affects last till such a time as the victim is convinced otherwise by reasoned argument or removal of the false memory Difficulty: D-B Rank
Name: Compel Rank: C Type: Genjutsu Element: N/A Description: A lesser form of domination. This genjutsu allows the user to instruct or give simple instructions to a target or group of targets who can hear his voice. After forming the necessary hand seals or using a genjutsu focus the user makes a simple request in a sonorous voice that seems to root itself in their psyche. Those who hear it find themselves drawn to the voice and an unquestioning urge to do as it says. The instruction must be obeyed as long as it doesn’t go against a characters nature, to force them to use jutsu/waste chakra, do anything that would cause them direct injury, stop them from directly completing their mission or forces them to leave the thread. It is not possible to cause the target/s to say cut themselves or abandon their missions or leave an ally behind to die. However it does include things such as movements by the victim, standing still or the performance of a simple act. Difficulty: C Rank
Name: Sleep Rank: C Type: Genjutsu Element: N/A Description: A unusual fusion of convince and compel, sleep causes the target/s to become drowsy and feel an great urge to take a nap. The compulsion is strong and the victims truly feel tired and incredibly drowsy. The first post after the reaction speeds will drop 25% as sleep starts to take them, the next post to 50% as the legs fell leaden and eyes struggle to stay open. If they have not broken the jutsu by the 3rd post they will fall into a deep sleep from which they won’t arise unless someone else dispels the jutsu or 2 hours pass. The technique needs 3 hand seals or a genjutsu focus to perform Difficulty: C Rank
Name: Riddle Rank: C Type: Genjutsu Element: N/A Description: A amusing vocal based technique that proves highly effective in battle. This genjutsu affects any who can here user at the time of use and lasts till the genjutsu is dispelled. This is the advance from of confuse inciting the same uncertainty but then adding a riddle with an insatiable urge to know the answer. Unfortunately confused as they are its very hard to concentrate and the riddle it self has no answer leaving the target in a state of great confusion, anxiety, uncertainty and most of all highly distracted. It is impossible to do techniques the require considerable concentration or time to perform in this state and the targets reaction time are reduced by 50%, making them slower and reducing seal speed accordingly as they spend most of the brain power stumbling to solve an unsolvable riddle. This lasts for 7 posts or until dispelled Difficulty: C Rank
Name: Breaking the habit Rank: C Type: Genjutsu Element: N/A Description: Require 3 hand seals or the use of a genjutsu focus. A handy technique that cause the targets of it to consider it against their principles to perform an action or use particular items or techniques designated by the user. Be they evil or good alike the very thought of doing/using the action/item is repugnant to them while the genjutsu lasts. It can affect one thing aspect of an opponent which can not be chakra usage broadly but can include not using a speciality, element, weapon/item type or even their kkg. This does not affect the ability to use but rather their inclination too. For example if used on an Uchiha the user might induce the Nin not to use his sharingan, it will never remove or make the Sharingan unusable Difficulty: C Rank
Name: Heighten emotions Rank: B Type: Genjutsu Element: N/A Description: Requiring the victim to form 2 hand seals or the use of a genjutsu focus. It also requires that the victim be subject to or in an emotional state to begin with. This technique plays on these emotions using illusions and subtle inducements to greatly increase their effect to the point where they start to seriously affect the target. This technique has the following effects in combination with certain emotions:
Fear: Causes the target to become terrified of a particular item or person. For the first post after the users is a paralysed in fear unable to move. For the following four posts the user will never willing come closer then 10m’s to the item/person and will fall back if pursued. Last 7 posts Anger: Causes the target to become blinded by rage. In this state he will become overcome with bloodlust and seek to kill whatever person is nearest regardless of their affiliation. They can only attack full out and cannot use defensive jutsu. It does have one positive side affect, the rage felt is so intense that they can ignore the pain of wounds sustained while affected. Lasts 7 posts Love: Causes the target to fall in love with a particular person or object and lavish them with their attention. They will allow no harm to this person, nor let them put themselves in or allow themselves to be used in a manner that might harm them. They feel compelled to defend them from all harm even at the risk of their own life. Lasts for 7 posts Emotion - Bravery: Causes the target to be reckless courageous to the point where he feels the need to throw himself into battle heedless of danger (though not entirely unaware of it) and of personal injury. For 7 posts the character may not back down, fall back or try to outflank others in battle and must seek a direct battle. He may still avoid attacks and use defensive jutsu but not in manner that would leave him immobile or pinned in position (i.e hiding behind a wall of earth). This applies even when the situation is clearly dire and it would be most prudent to retreat Jounin and higher ranking Nin tend to be less susceptible to this technique and I only affected for 3 posts if used on its own and 5 posts if used in concert with Emotional Shift Difficulty: B Rank, A Rank if twined with Emotional Shift
Name: False Death Technique Rank: B Type: Genjutsu Element: N/A Description: The false death technique requires but one hand seal and good timing. It creates the illusion that user has died from the last attack or accumulated wounds. After a brief check for life signs will cause anyone searching them to conclude the user has snuffed it and that they should be about their business without further delay. This is often used to fake their death and causes opponents to leave considering the lives at an end. The difficulty of the technique is linked to the manner of death. The more likely death was the more convincing the technique and thus the more difficult to break. Difficulty: B Rank ~ Death is an unlikely consequence of attacks the user has sustained A Rank ~ Where there’s a very possible chance he may have been killed as result of injuries sustained S Rank ~ Where death seems the most likely result from the injuries he has sustained
Name: Altered Perception Rank: B Type: Genjutsu Element: N/A Description: A cunning and scheming technique with often deadly results. This powerful technique subverts the impulses going to victim’s brain causing them to perceive a reality almost identical to the true one but with one difference. That the in their mind the user appears as their teammate and the teammate the user, the change is so subtle that its very difficult to notice but the effects are immediate, tragic and often fatal. Until dispelled the victim/target will assume the user is in fact their partner and their partner the user and act accordingly. In battle this often leads to the victim attacking the partner often catching him unawares. The locations and circumstances of either party prior to the technique do not matter and will not effect the victims belief, since the technique also alters the preconceptions of the victim in to thinking that everything is as it was and nothing is awry This technique is all the worse since it also allows the user to get in close to the target who assumes him friendly and land an expected killing blow. The only flaw with this technique is that only works on one person at a time so it will become quickly apparent to the partner what has happened and they will most likely try to dispel the technique. Failing to do so often has lethal consequences for both partners as one kills the other only to be killed in turn by the user. Difficulty: A for victim, B for anyone else
Name: Memory Erosion Rank: B Type: Genjutsu Element: N/A Description: After performing the necessary hand seals or using a gen focus or vocalisation this subtle genjutsu targets the victims ability to recall memories, specifically techniques. Every post it remains active the target will briefly forget 4 of their techniques. Forgotten techniques can not be used and are forgotten in rank order starting at the users own rank and working down. The techniques temporarily lost in this manner are picked by the victim to reflect that this technique simply allows the user to block out memories not read or analyse them but must always be the highest rank he has available. This is cumulative with its effects worsening with each passing post. By the 4th post it remains active the victim will not be able to remember 16 top techniques. Once dispelled the victim the jutsu will stop though and the victims fully memories will be once more accessible. While no more difficult then a normal B rank to dispel this is a very hard technique to detect as it’s quite hard to notice losing memories you can’t recall having. It is often substantially easier for teammates to notice the changes in them then the victims themselves
Name: Memory Overload Rank: A Type: Genjutsu Element: N/A Description: A horrific technique that doesn’t so much give specific memories it quietly pours them into the victim mind like avalanche. The memories and thoughts themselves are random and meaningless on the whole though the user can pass a massage via it should they choose. It is not the content so much as volume that makes this technique as shocking as it is deadly. In the matter of 3 seconds 1000’s of unwanted, unexpected generic memories and pieces of worthless information will flash through the victims mind clogging up their ability to process material. The affects are two fold: one the initial shock of the technique and second its equally problematic persistent effects. During the first post the target is mentally paralysed with shocks during which time trying to concentrate on any one thing is virtually impossible. If not moving the target will huddle in a ball due to the mental onslaught, if moving the will spend the post stumbling onwards in the same direction they were going when the technique was initiated. In every subsequent post they will manage to get some form of control but the memories will keep pouring in and in doing so temporarily dislodge those that are already there. Starting from the second post onwards the target will lose all their jutsu of their rank, then of the rank lower the next and so on until all the Jutsu’s are unrecallable. This loss is not permanent and should the genjutsu be broken will reverse their effects at twice the speed they were lost, restoring 2 ranks of knowledge per post. The are too numerous to be generated at random memories for this technique and thus must either be stored or taken directly form the user so if the user is not careful can lead to the victims learning things about them that they shouldn’t. Howl uses a modified mass seal on behind his right ear to contain the 1000’s of memory fragments needed, each of which he has painstakingly sifted through to check they cannot imperial and by doing so ensures that this technique has greatly limit unwanted side effects in this regard. Even so the snippets garnered make it clear to the victim, if it is not already known that he is a nin of some importance in Suna and prone to using manipulation to achieve his goals
Name: Domination (Forbidden Technique) Rank: S Type: Genjutsu (Kinjutsu) Element: N/A Description: While often considered weak and of questionable use by outsiders there are few more techniques as insidious or as wicked as the dominate. This genjutsu works be removing the targets free will and leaving his mind open to suggestions often of the gruesome sort. In practise it works in a similar way to compel with direct commands to the victim to do certain actions after activation though the concentration needed means it can only be used on one person at a time. It can be used to force people to do horrible things to civilians, their friends, even their loved ones. The technique is only effective on individuals of the users rank or lower, high ranking users being able to shrug off the intrusion. Targets of the same rank are affected for 3 posts, one rank lower for 4 posts and targets two ranks lower will be affected for up to 5 posts. It can be dispelled like all genjutsu but only before it activates properly or after first post of affect. During the first post the victim is too shocked by the harrowing experience of losing their free will to react. While in affect the victim must obey the orders of the user to the letter, from tying a knot in a robe to killing a loved one or attacking a teammate. Only an order to harm oneself or allow others to harm them can be resisted to a point though the technique the user can even instruct them to do just that if the spend a post concentrating with all their willpower on the target. To do so though they must not move and must maintain eye to eye contact throughout the post. The technique is not pleasant and its will leave victims of it shaken. Gen users are affected by one rank less then others due to increased ability to shrug off such mental intrusion

Yume Tsukurite ~ Dream Weaver
Reality is a pale thing against the desires of the soul. Sate it and you will so how easily the soul dances
Yume Tsukurite, the Dream Weaver genjutsu, all shares a few aspects in common. One they create (or weave as users like to say) a false or deceptive reality, two they often lock their victims in dream like states, three and most importantly they nearly all are designed to appeal directly to the victim. They hardly ever causes negative states of mind or inflict pain (or the illusion of it) or make their victims see their own death as so many genjutsu do. Dream weaver genjutsu, rather then terrify and inflict emotional trauma on their victim as most genjutsu do, almost singularly calm and relax them. While this makes them less dangerous and its effects less harrowing, it also makes them far harder to dispel or consciously leave. Victims more often then not prefer the fake reality offered by these techniques to the bleak real one and its victims often find themselves not wanting to break free. The more powerful techniques are infamously hard to break free of and it has been known for victims to be trapped in one till the motionless body dies of malnutrition weeks later all the time the faces lock in rapt smiles and quietly gurgling in blissful ignorance
Many Dreamweaver techniques having the following aspect: The next Dream Weaver genjutsu following this technique counts as a difficulty rank higher for purpose of dispelling as target enjoys the genjutsu immensely and is unconsciously receptive and more open to similar entertainment. This applies even if the target is aware that it was a genjutsu, for much like a box of chocolates, even if you know you shouldn’t have them once you had one you’re naturally inclined to have a second.
Where this is the case the difficulty of the technique is raised from a technical standpoint but has no increased chakra cost to kai. For example a B rank affected in this way will have an A rank difficulty rating and thus necessitate a kai at an A rank level however it will cost the same amount of chakra as the unmodified difficulty rating in this case B rank. As such this aspect will never increase the cost of dispelling but it may raise a technique's difficulty beyond the abilities of that Nin to kai.
- Quote :
- Name: Empathic Understanding
Rank: D Type: Genjutsu Element: N/A Description: A minor genjutsu created and used by Howl. It requires that user be open and that his intentions be sincere to work. It quite literally creates an empathic bridge between the user and the target/s down which Howl sends thoughts and reveals the truths of his nature to the target (though never secrets). Not only is the action oddly reassuring but it makes other like minded individuals feel some kinship to Howl. Naturally this technique is only affective against those who are innately good or at least want to be, evil or naturally uncaring individuals remain unaffected. If the affected target was a foe they find themselves more reluctant to engage him and are likely to seek a peaceful resolution, if done on an ally it will bolster their courage and wash out feelings of fear and strengthen their resolve to continue.
Name: Wisp Rank: D Type: Genjutsu Element: N/A Description: This genjutsu creates a figmental wisp, a shining tree spirit, in the minds of the target that darts back and forth according to users will. It will appear from the undergrowth as if it is presence was natural and unrelated to the user. This flying ball of playful energy shines mischievously and induces those who can see it to chase it only to dash off as they draw nearer. This technique is a great way to lure others to a certain place or lead them off from another. This technique counts as a rank higher if used in a forest area which real wisps are predominantly found but is ineffective in the desert as its presence there is hard to conceive. Understandably the ruler of Suna hasn’t had much use of this technique of late
Name: Daze Rank: C Type: Genjutsu Element: N/A Description: A simple technique that makes the target/s see a beautiful firework erupt in front of them in their minds. It not only leaves the victim eager for more entertainment maker them more susceptible to other genjutsu but so close the bright bang the temporarily puts them in a blind stupor. For one post following they count as being blind and deaf and for two posts following they have trouble keeping their balance and will fall over if the try to do anything too athletic such as jumping, dodging, flipping or using shunshin no jutsu.
The next Dream Weaver genjutsu following this technique counts as a difficulty rank higher for purpose of dispelling as target enjoys the genjutsu immensely and is unconsciously receptive and more open to similar entertainment. This applies even if the target is aware that it was a genjutsu, for much like a box of chocolates, even if you know you shouldn’t have them once you had one you’re naturally inclined to have a second.
Name: Dazzle Rank: C Type: Genjutsu Element: N/A Description: Similar to daze in nature but different in effect. Rather then create the impression of one powerful of beautiful firework going off nearby it creates a whole stream of fireworks that take to the sky above in a beautiful display that is never the same twice and tailored to best suit the tastes of the target/s. There is no illusion of a physical effect as with daze, there are not in any way dazed or stunned, however the targets are taken over by the bright colours, sparks and fireworks and feel drawn to watching them turning the attention away from the here and now. For 3 posts the target/s are highly distracted and react 50% slower to any attacks, concentrating on taking in the magical display then the subsequent actions of the user. This is very effective opener to a second attack

Name: Amaze Rank: B Type: Genjutsu Element: N/A Description: A more powerful version of daze. The amazement technique makes the illusionary fireworks display truly breathtaking and from the point of view of the jutsu’s target and unmissable event. While in effect targets cannot draw their eyes away from the sight and stand dead still mouths agape in amazement marvelling at the wonder of it. For the following post the target is considered effectively paralysed and must look directly up at the display forsaking all other things.

Name: Day Dream Rank: C Type: Genjutsu Element: N/A Description: This technique causes the target/s mind to be transferred to a dream like world, call the veil which is controlled by the user. The target will in truth be fully awake and capable of full movement and actions but what they perceive is a world away from reality itself. The transition to veil is seamless and far harder to notice then one might imagine, for rather then a quick noticeable change from the real world to veil the target is made to believe they have woken up from a dream rather then fallen into one believing the battle or scene before hand was a figment of imagination, a cheese induced dream and the veil is the true world. At this level the users control over the veil is incredibly limited and therefore they cannot sculpt the dream for a defined result. The user cannot get the target to perform specific actions or act in certain way. The dream simply uses the target/s own memories to create a world akin to the own though it is always sunny, warm and usually involved the target believing themselves in the company of friends and family. The dream is always pleasant and will leave the target feeling oddly refresh. The waking dream will last until it is dispelled. In practise where someone else is not on hand to do this for them then it will depend on how long it takes for the target to realise they are trapped in a genjutsu, the speed of which is dependant on their rank and whether they have genjutsu speciality. All Nin whatever their rank will notice what they are seeing is not reality after 5 posts. Genjutsu specialists will notice 3 posts earlier while Nin of a higher rank will notice 3 posts earlier per rank. In practise this means that when used by a B rank Nin this will be noticed by an A rank genjutsu or an S rank non user for what it is immediately. The technique requires considerable concentration to maintain and as such no new genjutsu may be used by the user while genjutsu remains active. Real world pain/damage will break this technique instantly.
The next Dream Weaver genjutsu following this technique counts as a difficulty rank higher for purpose of dispelling as target enjoys the genjutsu immensely and is unconsciously receptive and more open to similar entertainment. This applies even if the target is aware that it was a genjutsu, for much like a box of chocolates, even if you know you shouldn’t have them once you had one you’re naturally inclined to have a second.
Name: Euphoria Rank: C Type: Genjutsu Element: N/A Description: A more potent variation of dazzle. Euphoria puts the target/s in a euphoric state making everything the see and here seem wondrous and amazing. Everyone is covered in brilliant auras that make even moving look cool and breathtaking. To an affected individual even the most mundane act seems amazing and they find themselves unwittingly watching techniques and movement with bated breath even to the exclusion of anything else. The target finds themselves constantly distracted suffering the same 50% reduction to reaction speed and should they see any highly visible (genjutsu and other subtle techniques will have no affect) technique of a higher rank then they are (such as a C rank Nin observing a b rank Ninjutsu taking place) they will naturally clap and yell in appreciation like a avid sport fan watching a big game for the post after making it impossible for them to form hand signs. This genjutsu lasts until dispelled

Name: The Grand Ball Rank: B Type: Genjutsu Element: N/A Description: This genjutsu cause the target/s to believe that far from what they are actually doing, they in truth attending a masked ball in their honour and those about them are other party goers. Normally such a change from reality would be immediately noticeable but the joy of event and the flattery the target believes the receive causes them to quickly believe the ball is the true reality. Until the technique is dispelled the user will waltz about trapped in an illusionary dance. If multiple targets are affected they will dance together in time to music no one else can here. This lasts only for time for one dance, normally 2-3 posts and the experience is ironically spiritually refreshing restoring to its victims a d ranks worth of chakra but only if it is not dispelled prematurely.

Name: Lost in Paradise Rank: B-S Type: Genjutsu Element: N/A Description: Identical in nature to day dream but far more powerful and convincing. Rather then change the targets self identity as in second life this technique focuses on the user pouring chakra into making the target/s dreams a reality. When affected by this technique and individuals every whim and fantasy becomes, at least to their mind a reality. What ever their nature or taste this genjutsu makes their deepest wish come to life. Unlike most Wish Weave techniques the target/s of it are fully aware it’s a genjutsu, given life could hardly compare to the experience they are dreaming but is still harder to break free from then regular genjutsu. Simply put victims of this technique do not unconsciously want to leave the paradise it creates. It takes time for a target to bring themselves to leave it behind by means of dispel. The time it takes is dependant on the rank an ability of the victim:
Victim same rank as user: 3 Posts Victim one or more ranks lower: 5 posts Each rank the victim is higher: 2 posts less Genjutsu speciality: 3 posts less
Victims of technique are spiritually refreshed by the experience and gain a C ranks worth of additional chakra. It is of course possible for another unaffected individual to break at any time by regular means but the victim doesn’t benefit from the chakra gain
Name: Second Life Rank: A Type: Genjutsu Element: N/A Description: The next stage up from day dream. This jutsu once again takes the user in the dream world known as the void however where as before the user could not effect substantially affect the targets perception using this technique the user can now significantly change the view on the world. By altering the nature of the target’s very perception of who they are with this technique the user can make them think they are other people or creatures and act accordingly. Unlike in day dream the veil is deliberately thin so that the world appears very similar to the real one but from the perspective of this new person or creature. While under effects a user must act in the manner of this person/animal to the best of their own knowledge. The user can then tweak the veil to engender a specific response to which in their new identity the target feels beholden to react to. For example this can be used to make the target/s to think they are in fact a pig/s and should they be shown a mythical bucket of slop they will run over to it on all fours. Strangely enough the life is oddly fulfilling, a welcome break from the constraints and worries or reality. All these identities are intentionally ignorant of a means to dispel genjutsu, so an initial thought on how to do so will produce no results. It requires not only that a victim realize he is in genjutsu (i.e. not who he thinks he is) which can be done by spending at least one post concentrating on how they got here at which point they will remember just long enough who they really are and that he have a means to dispel genjutsu.
If the target is already is under the effects of Day Dream at the time of use the above technique costs only a c ranks worth of chakra to perform as much of the ground work for the technique is already done
Name: Dream Walk Rank: A Type: Genjutsu Element: N/A Description: A rank or higher Dream Weave users are more commonly referred to as Dream Walkers or Veil Striders. They close affiliation to veil, the world of dreams, allows them to enter dreams as though it were the waking world. Within the dreamscapes of the mind they are no more accomplished travellers capable of shaping and shifting them to desire. With the dream walk technique users can enter the dreams of others. This is not as simple as it seems requiring a B ranks worth of chakra and a direct link to the target. The must either know them particularly well (close allies/colleagues and subordinates), know there exact real world location or have a personal item which can be used as a focus. As long as one of these restrictive requirements are met the user can enter the dreams of others and once there use dream weaver genjutsu as if there in the flesh. It also commonly used as means on long range communication. While dream walking the user is equally vulnerable to dream based genjutsu but cannot be harmed directly by the target
Name: Reflect Dream Rank: A Type: Genjutsu Element: N/A Description: Upon reaching A rank and the position of Dream Walker, dream weaver users learn a technique not dissimilar to the Uchiha’s infamous magen allowing them to not just dispel a dream based genjutsu but causes its effects to reflect back on the user. Unlike magen it only applies to dream based genjutsu or genjutsu that transport the target to dream like world/dimension separate from our own. Using this technique it is possible to dispel a dream bases genjutsu as though it were a rank lower and reflect it for chakra equal to the amount used to create the genjutsu
Name: Corrupt Dream Rank: C-A Type: Genjutsu Element: N/A Description: This jutsu is lone exception to the standard dream weaver philosophy of appeasing rather then harming a target. At all ranks a dream weaver user can corrupt a dream weaver user can if they so wish corrupt a active dream based dream weaver technique changing it from a euphoric experience into a horrific nightmare vile enough to break the hardest of men. Doing so however not only breaks the existing gen but reduces the difficulty ranking of the next dream weaver technique by one as contrary to normal the target has no wish to fall victim to such horror again. The affect varies according to the rank and is easier to detect then most others due to the startling change it brings about however the shock it creates often makes it more difficult to break as Nin struggle to gather the thoughts and perform Kai:
C Rank – The user believes them selves to be chased by a nightmarish daemon intent of consuming their soul. It gives off killing intent and power far in excess of a mere human and reeks of death and pain. It evokes blind terror in the victim causing them to flee away. The user can control the creatures direction and in so doing herd their target to specific area or location. Lasts 7 post or until dispelled. Difficulty = B Rank B Rank – Similar to above though now the daemon is joined by a horde of his equally wicked and misshapen brethren. Same effects as before but should the jutsu last for 3 full posts without being dispelled the daemons will finally surround and leap onto the traumatised victim. There the will seemingly hold him down and subject them to inhuman torture. Until broken the target believes themselves unable to move and thus in real life their body becomes pinned to the ground unable to move. Difficulty = A Rank A Rank – Akin to the b rank version but all the more dangerous. This daemon the daemon is replaced by which ever bijuu the target most fears. As with the other techniques he will experience terror however the secondary effects are both faster and more dangerous. After the second full post the target will consider them selves pinned to the ground and on the third post while it is in effect believe themselves consumed by the beast. The feasting appears to last forever in the jutsu but in reality lasts just a few seconds. If the user hasn’t broken the technique by the end of the third post they will become unconscious from the experience. The can not be broken from this state for at least 3 posts subsequently.
If the target is already under the effects of Day Dream at the time of use the above technique costs only a c ranks worth of chakra to perform at a B rank level as much of the ground work for the technique is already done.
Name: Selfless Defence Rank: A-S Type: Genjutsu Element: N/A Description: This genjutsu creates a dream like world overlaying the real one where the target believes themselves to be the last and only line of defence for what the hold closest in the hand. Be it their village, family, clan or something else all Nin would risk their life for something and this genjutsu abuses this fact mercilessly. It creates a false impression they must use their chakra to create a great barrier whose creation will forever protect their most prized person/people/item from their opponent who appears too powerful to stop by normal means. The target believes that the shield is the only option has left. While danger, shield and the people/item in need of protection aren’t really there the opportunity to waste chakra foolishly maintaining this non existent chakra construct is considerable. While the jutsu remains in effect the target lose chakra equivalent to a jutsu of their own rank every turn. Furthermore they feel the need to remain close to the barrier to better keep and eye on it. Should the user run out of chakra as is not uncommon with this technique, charka exhaustion may well kill them
Name: Rest of the Martyr Rank: A Type: Genjutsu Element: N/A Description: A powerful technique that creates in the mind of the target the impression of death, in this case their own. It makes them believe the have been struck by a fatal blow and they will feel their spectral form leave their mortal body to go on to the next life whatever that may be. The target will go to whether he believes he will, be it heaven, hell, limbo or somewhere else entirely. Whichever one the go to the genjutsu feels very realistic giving their impression that the soul has passed on and the concerns of the mortal body and life are over. The truth is the user is still very much alive but while the genjutsu continues locked in a dreamlike state, unable to do anything but the most basic movement and without coherency. The difficulty of the technique is directly proportionate to how convincing the death was and is largely dependant on the situation before hand. Where the target is fresh, eager and with no real prospect of death it counts as a B rank, where death is a strong possibility as with most conflicts it counts as an A rank. Only when death seems certain or highly likely by the user will it counts as an S rank for purposes of difficulty.
Name: Howl’s Living Castle Rank: S Rank Type: Genjutsu Element: N/A Description: Howls most powerful dream walker technique. It transports the user to Howl’s own fabricated world in the veil he calls his castle beyond the Veil. The world itself is already there a private creation that was the focus of decade’s of painstaking work and takes the form of vast rambling castle floating sedately in the clouds. This home away from home is an extension of himself and can be shaped and changed at will. The high chakra requirement involved relates to the amount need to fully immerse an uncooperative mind into it. Once inside people are faced with a vast castle filled with unimaginable wonders though most see little more then endless corridors the lead no where, rooms fall of mirrors that go on for ever. The castle is a creation of mind can be manipulated and changed at will by Howl. To represent this Howl may perform up to 2 unbanned wind or earth based ninjutsu of A rank or lower every post for free to reflect his will bring it in to being for no cost. It is not immediately possible to Kai this technique as the user awed and confused by the castle forgets how to. Only as the castle tries to kill them and the actively seek a means to escape will they remember how.
Time before realisation: S Rank: 3 Posts A Rank: 4 Posts B Rank: 6 Posts C Rank: 8 posts
-2 for gen speciality
Any damage taken by either party will not manifest itself physically but will do so mentally. Minor harm will slow the individual’s reactions for 3 posts by 25%, moderate harm by 50%, and major harm by 75%. Death inside will leave the target unconscious for 24 hours in the real world. This technique requires that Howl do no other jutsu while maintaining it. Any techniques used by either target or Howl beyond his allowance are effective if only against the mind in reality and as such cost chakra that at reduce cost of 50% less then normal while in the castle.
This technique can be used for more easily and at a fraction of the chakra cost (C Rank) if the target is willing to enter it. This is not recommended for individuals whom Howl might try to kill as it gives him considerable advantages
Background Information
.:History:.
As he sat watching over one of Suna’s most important doorways Akido watched resolutely as in the distance Suna burned, not that you could tell from the glow of lights and throb of sound that was constantly emitted from Suna’s ever heaving Strip. Even as he look on hundreds, if not thousands of people were out having a good time, oblivious to the fires breaking out on the edge of city’s western district. The insurgents were at it again, setting alight several state storehouses as though their feeble actions would even be noticed, let alone serves destabilize the ‘regime’ as they called it. Not that Akio understood why, as far as he was concerned current administration or the ‘regime’ as they dubbed it was the best thing that had happened to Suna since sliced bread. If those idiots could not see the wealth, power and stability Lord Ichushiro had brought to a region once in desperately in need of all 3 that was their own loss. The civil war had ended over 8 years ago whether they accepted it or not and their occasional attempts to overthrow him was an unconstructive as they were futile. That’s said he pitied him, even now the Kage was leading an entire division of Tsokr against them and end their brief existence. Akido found it had to care that within a couple hours of hours a number of traitorous idiots would be dead and doubted whether come the morning Suna would even be aware of what had occurred let alone cry for them. That said the event of the night weren’t his concern, he had his own duty and he needed to stay alert and awake to perform it
It was the first time he had ever been assigned to guard the Kazekage’s study, normally he was on gate duty but he didn’t mind. Not only was it privilege of sorts but anyone who was aware of Suna’s savage eco-system would know it could be as cold at night as it was hot at day and compared to the guard post at the gate the opulent people’s palace was pleasantly warm. According to rumour it was generated by a giant tread wheel powered by dragons the Kazekage had tamed by sheer will alone, Akido suspected that well maintained boilers were more likely responsible but the idea of dragons keeping the place toasty was admittedly an enthralling image. In any case he was warm, he had a whole pot of coffee at arms reach and comfy chair, all he needed to do was sit tight and ensure no one disturbed the office beyond. Not that it was particularly special, from his few visits he remembered it to be a large and well appointed with a number of comfy pieces of furniture and a huge mahogany desk though it must be said the odd volumes, tomes and items that littered the shelves were intriguing enough to be worth a second glance. Still however boring they might be the documents within were of great value to someone and thus worthy of his protection and doubtless it couldn’t harm his promotion prospects to do his duty well.
It was almost one a clock and all was calm when he felt it, a chakra presence. Only briefly but clear as day and more to a point emanating from the beyond the double doors behind him. He wasn’t sure what to make of up and wondered if somehow and Nin had snuck past him. He doubted it, the young Metaru had been careful scanning for any new sources metal since he started up and surely would have felt the kunai of a well prepared Nin and as if the matter wasn’t confusing enough the chakra signature seemed vaguely familiar too. He was about to put the strange matter from his mind when he felt it again more powerful this time. There was no ignoring it, something was in there and it was job to secure the room. Mustering his courage and wits he quickly flipped his way through a series of hand seals and placed the open palm of his left hand on the outer wall of office before sinking though it like it wasn’t there praying to whatever god’s were listening that there weren’t any active seals in place. He like most knew little about the Kage but he had reputation as a peerless Seal master and it wouldn’t do his long term prospects any good if he lost his head with a misplaced step. Fortunately it appeared the seals that usually hummed in the vacant office were inactive, that or he had picked one of the few safe spots not plastered with the kage’s seals. Scanning the bleak darkness there were two notable features about the shadow strewn room, one that is was chocked in darkness with the exception of the pale light that streamed in from the close chakra reinforced glass balcony doors and secondly and perhaps more surprisingly too it appeared entirely devoid of life. Fully expecting an intruder the latter expect further confused and only troubled the increasingly worried Nin. This didn’t make senses and as his confusion mounted so did his worries. Crouching low in the cover the shadows he scanned the room with what sensory abilities he possessed but to no avail, simply put he was only one there unless of course a Nin far more competent then he had snuck in and was at this minute moving to strike unsuspected though he tried not to think to much on this morbid and unsettling subject. He would have turned to leave, to resume his sensuous date with the delectable pot of coffee once more when he felt it once more and saw in the corner of his eyes a battered chest slightly ajar and whose contents seemed to glow with an ethereal light peeping out from an empty corner, at least he thought it was empty for as his eyes became accustomed to the gloom he noticed that the light illuminated the edges of something should not have been able to see, a large chest of sorts which except for where the light caught its edges was all but invisible. He never noticed it on his previous visits, but then again he was not surprised, had it not been for the way the played across its surface it still would have remained a secret. Something in his mind told him he should return to his post, that whatever he was staring at now was well beyond his pay grade but curiosity is powerful force and between the immense chakra he felt and the warm light being emitted he found himself unwontedly walking towards it. How he reached it without triggering a seal he didn’t know but reach it he did. Close enough to touch it he realised it must be warded with some powerful seal to make it disappear into the background and only careful observation and the flickering light emitted told of its ornate and baroque nature. He would have reached out to open it but had sense enough to stop himself knowing that invisibility was likely not the chests only defence and so used his ability to control metal to send two kunai either side of the ajar lid to carefully open it. It opened with a soft of rasp of wood against metal till it was open almost all the way when the chest flashed and the kunai were reduced to ash in the blink of an eye by an unseen seal causing the lid to crash open the rest of the away amid the sparkling remains of the former kunai. Glad not to be the kunai, Akido looked inside and saw for the first time the true source of the chakra signature and the light. At the top of the chest, glowing with ethereal power was a book if you could call it that. Gold plated and covered in glowing seals the tome radiated power and in spite of his better judgment he could not stop himself reaching out to caress the magnificent item and tracing the glowing symbols that flicker across it like stars across a moonless night. The book seemed to react to his touch opening, growing even brighter and warmed as welcoming his touch. Never before had seen such an item, he had once seen the scroll of his clan jutsu during special occasions but that was tawdry thing compared to what nestled in the chest before him. He found himself picking it up and taking it too the nearby desk as if controlled by an unseen force settling himself down in the luxurious leather seat the book in front of him. Against all his survival instincts he opened up and found wondrous jutsu and tales within its pages and realised how valuable and priced it must be. As he looked down upon long forgotten techniques, much he realised written in a long dead language and some even in blood. He felt the power within the ancient pages and he couldn’t help but wonder who could make such a book, surely not the kage, it most at least centuries old. Such thoughts led to musing on his part about it’s origins all thought of his duty long gone. He could not imagine how such a wondrous creation could have come about. In spite of what he had already seen nothing prepared the youthful Nin for what happened next. The book, as though powered by an unseen hand, seemed to sense his interest and began to flick of its own accord to the front only to stop on a blank page some towards the end. The blank page seemed to fill with word like a bucket with water glowing with the intensity of the sun causing akido to flinch back and screen his eyes. These words then sprang out, dancing in the air as if of their own accord and for a moment all he could see was a bright light it vanished leaving four glowing words: ‘The Tale of Howl’. As quickly as they had appeared and imprinted themselves in his memory that faded away and new words began to trickle across the page like water and in spite of himself Akido read:
.:Early Life:. I know little of my early life, it seems so distant now as if a life time ago but then it was so perhaps it is not all that strange. There was nothing notable about my birth, no great destiny to be fulfilled, and no ancient purpose to be met. I was ordinary, plain and my birth past unnoticed in world torn by conflict. Does it surprise you to know I was not special, not deemed for greatness at a young age? Know this that no man is ever born great, they are simply born, and it is how they live their life that makes them so. It was no different for me. I wasn’t even destined to be a Nin that term did not even exist back then. I was born to be nothing more then a simple goat herder like my father and his father before him. I was born to simple ways and simple folk in the foothills of what is now the Bird Country but was once known as the Kingdom of Starling falls and ruled over by the Rui Shogunate. For decades my family had been serfs, herding their goats and giving what little they had to their masters. It was time before Nin, before order came to the land, of raiders, warlords and kings when barbarian hordes roamed the lands and the great beast stalked are nightmares. I can not recall the faces of my parents anymore, just blurry images in a cloud strewn landscape, only their names can I remember Hana and Kayate. They loved me, at least I think they did, and I was happy for a time, carefree and happy but Happiness however never lasts, it so rarely does these does.
It was taken away by a force of nature my powerful then you could imagine for this was the age of Yoshimaru and the greatest beast showed no mercy. My village, my home and my parents all had the misfortune of being in its path and paid the ultimately price. When it came it was all I could do to run, to flee from it as fast I was able. I can here mother’s voice even now telling me not to stop, feel the burning chocking touch of its malicious chakra and feel the raw and imaginable power it possessed. Had fate not intervened and tripped me sending me falling into an old long forgotten well my story might have ended there. For three days I cowered in fear and the cold at the bottom well and only on the fourth did I get the courage the climb the vine strewn walls to find the beast had gone and taken everything a held dear with it. Everything from the goats I tended to the loving parents who had raised me gone in a blink of eye, a village left in ash. All I had left was my name, Howl, name after my uncle who died before I was born and my hate.
It’s never good for child to know hate so young, but I hated the beast and their then vowed track it down and kill it for what had done. It would decades later that I would fully understand the pure folly of it, the rash stupidity that somehow I could even attempt challenge the greatest creature to ever exist but I was young and ignorant and my hatred burned strong.
After gathering my wits and what little items I could scavenge I followed in its wake seeing the destruction is caused. In hindsight what it did to my village was paltry thing indeed and many had far greater reason then I to despise the beast. I came across cities reduced to rubble, whole valley burnt to cinders and battlefields littered with the dead and nearly dead, victims of grave robbers and carrion a like. This only made me angrier and more eager to kill the beast and so in spite of all reason I pressed on. Not once did it occur to my anger addled mind that a boy with no skill had not hope of succeeding where armies of skilled warriors had failed. Reason had been lost with my family and I was so eager for revenge. Finally when I found it sowing its own unique destruction as liberally a famer sowing seed, fear finally welled up in me, the killing intent I still remember to do this day was crushingly powerful. Imagine the Sun in corporeal form and you have some idea of the powerful it wielded. Yet somehow powered by a righteous anger only an ignorant innocent could have I pushed on towards the beast as others fled. I got within 300 yards and was lucky to do so, so violent was the beast’s rage. By then it had finally noticed me, small and pathetic as I was and with the casual flick of one of its many tails sent a bolt of lightning towards my chest that should have sealed my fate once and for all and would have done had fate intervened. Moments before it struck I felt an arm pull me to safety and the unsteady gut wrenching that accompanied ones first experience of the body flicker technique. I found myself in cover and in front of me glancing resolutely towards the beast the greatest man who ever lived. Even then he seemed so strong, so unflinching that my hate passed to wonder as look upon man who showed no fear of the towering creature. This did last all that long though as once more my hatred boiled up and I tried to leave to pursue the beast but the man would not let me, far more aware then I of the fate that would surely befall me should I try. I tried to push him away with all my might, to get passed and reach the beast but to no avail and after the third such attempt and he did something I to this day thankful for … he hit me.
When I came to Yoshimaru had passed on and I was in a clearing sleeping on an old bed roll. After my initial anger had cleared, anxiety about where I was and more importantly who I was with took hold of me. It was all I could do to keep calm and not let self doubt and fear worm its way into my heart. I am might have been foolishly and angry enough to chase a dream but I was still young and fearful of strangers. However 3 of them appeared to be children themselves, the eldest not much older then me and what’s more in good health and if not happy, for who could really be happy in such times, then certainly well settled. Though they tried to get me to open up I was not yet ready for human contact so soon after losing my family and my period of enforced isolation as I followed the beast so I shied away seeking comfort in my own thoughts rather then the kind words of others. This did not last as the uncomfortable attempts by those who would later become my greatest friend’s, rival and fellow students were silenced by the word of one man. Despite my prowess at manipulating at controlling others I never been able to command so much attention as this man did the simple utterance of ‘Attend’. I found myself as eager as my companions to do as instructed to appease the one who spoke with such authority and clarity of thought. As walked towards him, his back turned away as he surveyed the destruction before him I realised it was the same man who had saved me from my own reckless stupidity though I did not see it as such then. I saw man who took my vengeance from me and my youthful anger boiled back to the surface once more and I charged towards as though somehow in my anger I would have the strength to land a blow. The futility of my action as the man turned without a flicker of concern and froze me in place with his penetrating stare only to say “Yes, you shall do nicely. Rest now, for we travel soon” . As he said the last an overwhelming need to sleep took me and so began the next stage of my life. That early utterance still remain one of my clearest memories of the mysterious man who never spoke much, a man who outshone the world and blazed with unnatural power. He was man I would come to call Master and though I loathe admitting a better one then I could ever hope to be. To everyone else he was known simply as Redukko Sennin, the sage of the 6th Path, a god in mortal form
.:The Student:. In time my master and the rest of our motley group were joined by two other youths each, like our selves, hand picked to serve in the great sage’s grand plan. Like myself each had been found in the Yoshimaru’s wake, a handful of survivors and witness in a world full of death. Though we did not know it at the time within us we carried the seeds of something greater then we could fathom, the first kkg and by means of these and teaching chakra manipulation do I believe he hoped to bring about the dawn of the Nin. Wherever he had already seen his untimely death sealing the great beast or simple being prudent, I am uncertain to this day of the man’s true power for he spoke little and then in relation to training. Despite 8 years of tutelage at no time do I recall him speaking of his former life or indeed talking about his abilities, he was man focused on the here and now and on bringing about a new future. Then again there was no need to explain himself, explain his power, he just was to be listened to and followed, not questioned. As unassuming and humble as was, he was also hard and unyielding, ever striving towards a goal we could see. He was both innately charismatic and a social recluse, quiet and lost in his thoughts most of time yet able to command the attention of everyone he met with a single word. In all my studies and travels I have never met a Nin such as he and doubt I will meet one again. He was for want of a better word, unique.
For the best part of 8 years we followed in Yoshimaru’s wake observing the horrors it wrought and learning from our master. Each of us was trained to sense chakra within us, mould and shape it and bend to our will. Though it was by no means easy we each in turn learned to control our inner energy and unleash it both to destroy. I was the first among my rivals to master the arts of chakra manipulation though this had far more to do with my kkg then skill on my part. We each were strong in different specialities perhaps intentionally so, so that when it came time to pass on the knowledge we had gained each would be unique and spread a range of teaching. I myself showed almost no aptitude for close combat, my remedial taijutsu often something of a joke among my companions. However just as a failed physically to progress myself, intellectually I soured above my peers taking first to fuuinjutsu then genjutsu to the level of artisan inspire admiration in place of contempt.
Though it was years before he would reveal to true nature and import of our trainings he intended that we 6 propagate his secrets and through us intended to pass on the secrets of chakra manipulation. Perhaps he had foreseen the future and knew he would need others to do so. To each of each us he not imparted an understanding of chakra manipulation and taught us to wield it as weapon and a shield. He trained our bodies and honed our minds for the tasks to come. Yet each person is unique so too were the 6 of us, each with his or her own specialism. I myself focused on the unseen arts and showed flair for both sealing and illusions. Others were great medics or taijutsu experts or had mastered the elemental ninjutsu. It seemed that our master had already unveiled our talents and could train us with ease and clarity that I struggled to replicate in later life. He was not simple stronger then other people nor more intelligent, he was a genius at everything he did and as such perhaps only truly perfect Nin. With battle training came mental conditioning. It was the master’s aim to turn into us true Nin and as such he continuously lectured on what being a Nin involved, from the way of life to the dedication it required. It was simple good enough for him that we battled like Nin, we needed to think like them and most important remember that whatever our powers it was our duty to serve the people, to be their weapons and protectors not the other way around. While I thought I understood this most important of concept at time I proved wholly ignorant when it counted and I would come to fail everyone my master included.
Throughout this period I was always seeking for a way to revenge my parents, seeking vengeance on that creature who had taken everything from me. At times I wanted to use what training I had and only the cool stares and brief statements by my master of the futility of such an action stopped me from heading after it. Occasionally we would be allowed to go out on our own and see the world. It was during one of these trips where I tried to retrace my Master’s path before he met in a foolish attempt to uncover his origins I meet Calcifer and his family. At first they tried to eat me, then torment me when their plans came to nothing and finally lead on a merry goose chase. Its only when I stumbled upon Calcifer, injured from a battle with giant 15ft long scorpion and almost killed myself getting him to safety and venom removed did they finally accept me. It was at that moment our bond began if not truly formalised and have been a Cat summoner ever since. As the training came to its conclusion I was once more eager to take my revenge despites my master’s reservations and wish that I avoid taking on the great creature. He claimed he was barely strong enough to challenge it, that I would be utterly destroyed should I try. He was right of course but does right or wrong mean to a confused and vengeful young man, sadly not. I was overconfident believing that my training would be sufficient, that I would be the one to end Yoshimaru’s hateful reign of destruction. I could not have been more deluded. When I finally found the great beast and attempted to kill it the battle was a short as it was one sided, in spite of the skills I had learned the beast was unlike anything you could imagine, with the strength of 10,000 Nin it battered aside my attacks and broke my gen with consummate ease before sending wave after wave of dark energy towards sending me flying and burning the flesh off my bone. Only 5 minutes after encounter began and I was already done, the smell of burnt flesh hanging heavy in the air, my pain wracked body to weak to move. Had not fortune saved me that day, or rather my master still had need of me I doubt I would have survived to tell the tale. As my life blood drained away I could not help but feel sorrow for my reckless, that not only had I failed my parents but the man who had saved my life, giving me purpose and wanted me among others to carry on his on work only to foolishly through my life. It was as death approached and my lungs spluttered forcing up blood about to breathe their last that I felt a familiar presence looming over me and saw the oddly shaped eyes of the great man bearing down, an emotionless expression as ever hiding his true feelings. I tried to speak, to apologise for acting so recklessly, for wasting his teachings with my foolish need for a vengeance I know clearly understood was beyond my abilities. At least now I could die remove the burden of saving a failed student, at least now I could finally be at peace. Yet even as lost consciousness I could here his voice steady and feeling his gem like eyes observing me, ‘Not today. I have need of you yet’ was the last thing I heard. My final sight was of Calcifer lying battered to one side worry across his face as seal array of unbelievable power and complexity formed about us though to what purpose I did not know
I would wake up 2 weeks later to find I had lost 3 things, the first was my eternal rest. For I seemed to be fit and well with no sign of injury, remarkable given my collapsed lung and failing heart I had received during the fight. The latter were altogether greater and worse. While I had been sleeping my master had decided to finally confront the great beast. For two days straight he and the beast fought never letting up and inch till victory was secured. The great master managed to hold it long enough to seal its soul away in a crystalline and send it beyond the reach of foolish mortal hands. However with this great success came an equally great tragedy, for the seal used had demanded blood, his blood to be precise. According to my companions he died hours later from wounds that would not, some say could not be sealed with the wish that we disseminate are knowledge in case of Yoshimaru’s return. He did not so why and when this might occur but seemed certain it would and when the time comes the world must be ready for it. Yet in spite of the loss I had gained one thing, a bond to Calcifer that I hadn’t thought possible. The seal he had used as laid their dying had bound are souls within Calcifer’s body freeing my own from body’s grizzly fate and giving unnatural regeneration. The Soul Enshrinement Seal as I later came to call it fuse as one being, two souls one body with my own body becoming little more then a fleshy husk a repository of chakra and activity but devoid of true life. To be fair I wasn’t quite as excepting of the situation as make out, it simple made the swirl of complex and competing emotions I had become even more convoluted. The thought of having my soul transplant so horrified me as much as it fascinated me and while I ultimately came to thank me my master for it and the bond with Calcifer that arose it took years for me to accept what I had become. It was in this conflict state, with a dead master and companions of many years heading off to continue our master’s legacy that I soon found myself heading off on my own path. I wondered what life bring next and even as I did so I struggled to control the sea of uncontrolled emotions I had become. Uncertain and shocked I too felt the need to repay my master both for his teaching, for saving my life and ending Yoshimaru’s and such I was determined to see his work complete to. I began my long journey west shedding the role of the conflicted student to take of the burdensome mantle of the troubled teacher
.:The Disillusioned Sensei:. In spite of the Calamities and traumatic, not least the Seal enshrinement seal that would play a such a big part in days to come I surprised myself with the energy and vigour I put in to the task. Deep down I wanted to make for my past short comings, prove to my former master that the time and effort invested in me was worthwhile. I scoured the lands for anyone with the potential to learn to become a Nin and passed on the Knowledge my master had in turn given me. Unlike many of my peers who selected their own pupils on basis of potential and personality I trained any who came to me, saint or murderer, raider or protector. In fairness in my ignorance I decided it was not my place to judge who was fit to manipulate Chakra, at no point had our master insinuated it was to be used by a chosen few, so those that I could teach I did. I had many students over the coming decades, too many too give remember all the names and faces though some stuck out. Isha of the waterfall country who was capable of sealing almost anything into custom made cards, Naruko of Sea Country who made gen to capable of soothe even the sea and many more besides. The were relatively happy days, a time of relative peace and stability in life as unstable as my own. Raiders still lurked around every corner and the Shinobi Villages had yet to be formed but with Yoshimaru the world was a green place and their was no real threat to a master Nin in world where Nin were practically non-existent. However all good things come to and end I just wished my period could have ended better. I have already mentioned my students but I did not mention my two greatest pupils Anko and Takashi. Every Sensei has a star pupil or two and they were mine, by this time I was 52 though thanks to my special connection to Calcifer my youthful vigour and looks still remained giving me the appearance of a man in his mid 20s. I found them in what would later be known as wave, captives of slavers to be sold to work in the slave factories to the east. Not since I left company with my own peers had I met such promising Nin and I raised them as they were my own for over a decade did I train them to be the best they could be, to fully realise their talents. Sweet Anko and ambitious Takashi met every goal I set them and blazed a trail for themselves. Blind be my love and adoration for them I could not see what so clearly obvious, that Takashi ambition was greater a kings and that power meant everything to him. Like a blind favour eager to give into his every whim I taught all my secrets but that of Calcifer but that I learned to my horror was not enough. When I helped Anko to uncover her hidden kkg, something Takashi did not have and which I could not teach him I did not notice the envy and resentment with him till it was too late. I remember this the morning I found her, sweet beautiful Anko lying face down in the koi pond at the bottom of the ornamental garden. The shock seeing someone I viewed as my daughter dead before me took my breath away and buckled my knees. Crawling too her I tried everything to revive, to bring my beautiful apprentice back but to no avail. My grief was horrific but as nothing when I found the cause of the calamity, the still burning reside of small seal over her heart. I recognised immediately as one I had discovered but had never taught, a means to steal kkg. The reason I had done so is that seal not only killed the victim but shattered the very soul as such was a repulsive. To think Anko had suffered so much compounded my grief and caused a new emotion to blossom, hate. Hatred for fate was her who had died and not me, hatred at myself for inventing it and most all hatred the creature, nay the daemon that used it. The only record technique was in this very book so I went to look for it only to find it missing. At first I assume one of my younger pupils had taken it and ripped the dojo we called home apart for it. I even considered sending for the only person truly trusted, Takashi for aid but I feared the news would hurt him as much as I. How very wrong I was. I investigated the murder and theft and the following all manner leads finally found the man responsible. The only thing worse for father to lose then a daughter is to find out that the man you thought as your son was responsible. I found him in a tea house in a small town in the fire country laughing with a group of degenerates and using Anko’s kkg to lift a cup of tea. At first could quite believe it so I ended up watching them for hours hoping that some how I had made a terrible mistake however with every passing a minute my worst fears were confirmed. Anger brewed up and me and I decided there was only one option. 5 Minutes later and the tea room was a pile of steaming Ash and I held Takashi’s unrepentant form by the throat. Even I as applied the immolation seal that cause his chakra network to implode melting the flesh off his skin he was smiling, even if death finding uncaring about his deeds. I thought his death would bring an end to Pain. Truth be told it was the start, when I realise I had levelled an entire tea house to get him, killing dozens I began to lose all sense of myself. As I stared about at destruction I had wrought and gazed done at the monster I had made I could not help but wander what had turned him like this, what daemon had possessed him to do so much harm. It was then a group of guards arrived looking for Takashi. Rather then gape at the site and run for help they strolled up oblivious to destruction and suffering about them and wanted to know where he was. When I pointed at his corpse and the man cursed in irritation and kicked a nearby corpse that rolled in his way. It was that moment of casual disrespect and uncaring for the suffering others that I came to my answer. Humanity itself was the problem, lost in an ever increasing struggle for domination it had become corrupted and uncaring. These guards, Takashi and everyone else was a result of it. Humanity had become violent and uncaring and as horrifying as Yoshimaru and worst of all I then realised I had armed them.
Losing ones faith in humanity is a terrible thing. I lost it that day and it would take over a century to get it back. When one believes a human life is corrupt and not worth saving then you turn into what you most hate. Though I did not know it yet, I left the tea house with the guard’s dead bodies littering a broken Sensei and become a Monster.
.:The Monster:. For the next two decades I isolated myself from a civilisation hated only leaving the safety of the wild to strike at a species I know considered beyond saving. Why my master had thought gift such degenerate beings with chakra manipulation I could only wonder. I took to living in my Summons ancestral home in Suna’s Great Desert where humans feared to tread and with good reason for I would kill any who approached. I did not see it as crime then but an act of mercy, or better still pest control. Along with Calcifer and his family I would descend upon the raiders and nomads. In time the natives learned to fear my coming and called me Archeon meaning Wind God in their still primitive tongue. I might still be have there had it not been for Calcifer. I have talked of my greatest companion overly so far but in life full of pain and lies Calcifer has been beacon and truth and support. He saw the hatred that had consumed me, turning me into the monster I believe humanity and slowly but surely rehabilitated me. It was not quick but as the years rolled by I learned to forgive humanity if not lose my contempt of it. I came to realise that no creature is intrinsically evil and that humanity was not beyond redemption as I had first thought. I realised that I had become what I most hated and shunned my master’s teachings. However I was not willing after all the pain I had suffered to train others again, not as it stood. Perhaps it was too much sun, or chakra induced delusions but I began to believe that I might be able to change this, to bring about a world where humanity was worthy. I dreamed that I could make a perfect society free of the hatreds that plagued humanity as a species. However what I didn’t realise was the Path to Hell is paved with good intentions and that the suffering I cause as isolationist monster was nothing as what I was to inflict for what I believed was the betterment of society.[/b]

| .:The False God:. My first act was to leave my home of the past twenty and find the great tribes who wander the deserts and great plains of the wind country. I believe humanity while having the potential to be worthy of the legacy my master intended to be unfit to rule itself so my first act was to take control of each of the tribes starting with the smallest till each every one was under my control. This was easier then it seemed for even back then Shinobi were still rare, rarer still among the great dunes and plains of the wind country and ethical deficient as I may be might strength was already reaching its present height. What little resistance existed was wiped away with extreme prejudice. By means of genjutsu I used my considerable manipulative powers to convince them that rumours about me were true that I was indeed a wind God come down from the desert in hopes that it would make them easier to control. It worked all too successfully hindsight, from my gen to the way I made myself appear impervious to harm convinced the primitive tribesman that I was indeed a good. The tribes fell over themselves to placate me and avoid the wrath of their supposed God. With the might of the unified tribes and my own abilities it was easy to descend upon the coastal communities and trading towns and take control of all the Wind Country. Precisely one year after my arrival and Wind Country was for the first time in its history unified and renamed the Archeon Empire. So was born perhaps most brutal, decadent and totalitarian regime ever created in the history of the Shinobi Nations. I used my power is supreme ruler and supposed deity to create what I believe to be the perfect society free from crime, where individuals would have the time and inclination to work for the betterment of society. Had I perhaps kept it at a small scale perhaps it might have worked but two things got in the way. The first was my eagerness that civilisation not only be great but by the greatest civilisation that ever exist. Secondly and far more problematic I began to believe I actually was god. Even the most rational man will think himself one if everyone tells him that he is and bows at his passing, placating his every whim. Unfortunately absolute power and the will to make a great civilisation in a country with scant resources is terrible combination. To ensure both the manpower and resources we needed for the glory of the Archeon empire I led its armies to invade and conquer its neighbours and River, Team, Rain, Bird and much of what is now Earth were seized. To build this civilisation I ordered their peoples enslaved and that they be brought back in their 10’s of 1000s to build a vast city with a great temple complex in my honour and forum where the enlightened people of Suna could meet, bask in more glory and listen to my teachings. For over half a century almost third of the Shinobi world lived in the Wind Country most of them slaves forced to create a great nation that I believed would be though salvation of mankind. I confused construction and imposing civilisation for creating a better world and in so doing created an absolute state that would kill 10’s of 1000s both in war and slaving down its mines and in its cities. I am still ashamed to my core today that I believed that the needless death and social persecution I brought to countless people only compounded the problem I sought to solve. The Archeon Empire was my greatest undertaking to date and no doubt my greatest mistake could I take part my role in forming such a disingenuous callous and hateful civilisation I would do in a instance. The Empire was a unmitigated failure on all levels, not only for damage it cause but as social experiment. My intention had to be created a society free of crime and hate and while the latter was achieved in a literal since you could not imagine a more corrupt, degenerate and depraved society. I unwittingly allowed my priesthood to persecute others and by unconscious the support misdemeanours actually turned them into what I was trying to avoid.
Perhaps fortuitous it all came to abrupt end with one small but significant incident the trigger perhaps the largest public outcry and uprising in a century. By this time I must rather embarrassingly admit I was certain of my divinity and my own personal might. I believe myself unharmable thanks to my powers and the regeneration I benefited from by being close to Calcifer. Unfortunately I begin to believe as other people did that my abilities were divine in nature and often left Calcifer behind on great journey’s in my folly. Finally one such journey, while inspecting construction of my latest temple a great stone lintel fell cracking on the ground below sending shards flying. Many slaves died, not to my shame that noticed since there always more to spare but to my own one had struck me. It wasn’t the fact it had struck but rather that usually blazing regeneration that normally occurred did not. Without Calcifer to hand my healing powers had gone, for a man to bleed is to be expected but for shard of falling masonry to wound a God is something else entirely. At first there was simple shock however as it became my condition worsened the foundations began to crack. Rumours spread like wild fire that Archeon Empire’s God was in fact an immortal. Rumours soon turned to riots as the empire vast slave population lashed out at a repressive regime they had long since learned to fear. Though I made back to my great temple they came for they follow evening as a horde of disaffected individuals swarmed the temple precincts overwhelming the guards and priests to my surprise. I later learned this was no accident, my guard commanders and my Nin who would follow a god to hell but were not so sure about a crazed Nin so this as opportunity to depose me and if possible take over in my stead. Allying themselves with the rebels they practically the welcome mat and I soon found myself surrounded and overwhelmed. Even with all sides against me I thought with the irrational conviction only someone who believed they were god could and to my regret killed a great many people. Even considered a mortal I was far more dangerous then other Nin and only numbers and a sustained assault on my sanctum clinched the day. I was dragged like so many of those innocents I had called heretics to be alive for my sins. Perhaps it will surprise you to learn this wasn’t honestly all that bad, compared to what was to come it was a walk in the park. Using Calcifer I numbed my own pain receptors effectively and through his eyes watched as burned with only a slight feeling of irritation. It is a truly sobering event to watch thousands cheer at your execution, to know how wrong your had been. That said I fully expected to survive thanks to the soul enshrinement seal and hope I would then be able to return to cause untold damage and reap my revenge. It was therefore a good thing for Suna and perhaps in retrospect myself as well that as my charred body was dragged away by the ringleaders that a sensory Nin noticed that in spite of all logic I had yet to die and worse was regenerating.
.:The Living Undead:. Fear is powerful motivator I find and to fear you have kill someone who believe mortal only for him to return doubtless angry and vengeful is a particularly strong one indeed. They tried many inventive and mildly amusing ways to kill me but with no success and as my body appear to continually regenerate the search for a solution became ever more frantic. Those who had been close to me were clever enough to know that should I regenerate and the people learn of it then the rebellion may be crushed and they with it. Desperation often leads to many foolish actions though not even I could predict what they intended next. Their solution was dangerous and desperate as was their plight. Using a forbidden sealing technique of my own creation, the irony of which still strikes me to this day, they sacrificed 3 of their own people to bind me to a chakra draining tome where I could never be found or escape and left me there to rot. In so doing the Archeon empire and the Carrion Lord of Suna was born. Have you ever been buried alive? Even for a minute. The feeling of dread and isolation is hardly pleasant. Now imagine you were there for a day, even a week, would you not go crazy? I was buried below what would later be known as Suna for over a century. For 5 generations my world was no larger then inside of a stone lined coffin or would have been had not been for Calcifer. My bond to him extended beyond simply a one of a shared body by means of an empathic link that allowed me to sense, see and feel what he did. By this means and this means alone for the seals the bound my prison blocked almost forms of Jutsu I was given a window to view the worlds and a loving friend to talk to. Had to experience the horrors of such imprisonment alone I imagine I would have gone quite insane. Not that I survived entirely unscathed, at least according to others. I concede I have developed some eccentricities during what felt like my never ending incarceration but do make me a loon. Since the question of insanity is fairly subjective I think I shall leave it to history to decide on that score. Insanity aside would you believe I consider my time of enforced isolation to be one of most productive and best spent of my life. Sure, for the first 6 months I railed against my captors, cursing them in my dreams and damning in my waking hours. Fortunately there’s only so much one can fight before the fighting is knocked out of you and it was about 7 months that finally realised that I might be here for a while and that perhaps I might not be a good. Once one gets over the initial shock of imprisonment which with help of Calcifer I was able to do you do find that you have considerable times on your hands to review your actions, reflect on your decisions and evaluate where it all went wrong. A century is a long time to be incarcerated, time enough to review ones life, even a life as long as mine, many times over. Though I have no wish to spend another 100 years underground the time allowed to me reappraise my own life in manner I had not thought possible. Furthermore thanks to my link to Calcifer I had a supportive friend and a window to the outside world through I could study the Suna and here people. I watched my empire crumple, the ravages of raiders in its aftermath and the rise of Suna. I was there during its golden age and those ages best forgotten. In time I would come to understand Suna and its people in a way no one else could and I realised how flawed my ideas had been. For all my life I had been living on the polar extremes, first hating the beast, then loving my students blindly, and then hating humanity. I recognised that I am the product of a life of discord instability. My actions to super impose my own chaotic views where thus bound to fail. I believed in a world that never existed and when I tried to real one accordingly my actions were rash and thoughtless. In regard to Wind Country and Suna itself I had mistaken buildings rather then people the indication of a nation’s success and place in the world when I could have been more wrong. I came to the conclusion I was product of a broken society and thus my own actions were colour by the extremes I faced. Watching Suna develop I for perhaps time in my life truly began that labelling people as I had always done wasn’t practical, everyone was unique and had something to offer. Sure there were unsavoury individuals out there but they represented a small and unwanted section of society. I realised the world of Sinners needing to be cleansed I believed in didn’t exist and I am not it sure it ever did in retrospect. As time passed and I watched Suna do well I did wander how I could help should I be free, whether I was simply a relic of a by gone age and no longer need, A wheezy old duffer holding back a youthful and energetic younger generation. However Suna’s success didn’t last and under poor mismanagement descended into an ineffective oligarchy with power held by the few and for largely personal gains. What followed seemed to be interminable civil wars between greedy oligarchs and occasional reformists who lack the strength to make their convictions reality. Either they turned into money grubbing oligarchs themselves or were killed before they could acquire much support. In any case Suna’s spent generations under the thumb of one inbred Clan leader of another whose actions were more motivated be personal gain then common good. Despite this I could see the raw potential within Suna, the desire to bring out a better, fairer society free of from the bigotry and corruption that kept at the very bottom rung of the 5 great countries. I delighted in the people’s success and became increasingly frustrated with the lamentable abilities of its leaders. With exception of a few they were largely incompetent, corrupt and self proliferating and to my mind central to why Suna was the poorest and most depressed of the great Nations. To see children starve in the streets and women force to sell their bodies to feed their families was to my mind beneath the respect and dignity Suna as a nation and more people as a people deserved.
As my own frustration grew my attempts to break free of my prison become more vocal and extreme, thrice I almost broke the seal though the action almost kill both myself and Calcifer. Unfortunately Calcifer could not actively break in, for fear that are link natures might lead to him being trapped two and both are deaths. So that left the need for a third party to unwittingly bringing it about. The seal array was an old one requiring blood to create a blood to remove. I could get someone to shed blood over it’s central point I might weaken enough to force it to collapse allowing me to leave my stone lined coffin and once more enter the world above. Luring some one down proved more problematic then I expected despite the aid of Calcifer but eventually it proved successful. Calcifer managed to isolated a chuunin who was visiting the halls of the dead to pay his respects to his fallen comrades by collapsing many key tunnels as well as injuring his leg, leaving him trapped and stranded by use of cunning ploys and genjutsu the bewildered Gen was lured deeper down to where my prison lay his blood soaked trousers dripped onto the unseen seal. In that moment I through all of my chakra to breaking the seal, at first I thought that my long imprisonment had left me weakened since nothing appeared happen but slowly it began to unravel, till it buckled collapsing the array and once more unleashing me on an unsuspecting world. Though he did not know I was ever thankful to Chuunin who unwittingly play such a central role to my release and when I established myself in Suna so to it he was well rewarded for his part.
.:A New Beginning:. You can not imagine the joy and comfort as my beloved Calcifer jumped into waiting arms and for the first time in 5 generations did I feel the warm embrace another. Upon reaching the surface I had shield my eye from the sun so long had I spent buried down below but even so its was 10minutes before I did more then bask in the light and feel the breeze running through my hair. It is so easy for us to forget to enjoy the little things, lost in the complexity life. I resolved from that day to take a moment every so often to enjoy them and that’s what I did. My first action was to buy myself a curious treat I had never tried before, called Dango by the old women who sold it. The moment that heavenly snack touched my lips and I found could not help but devour all before me, then have some seconds and thirds. Ever since I have become a 20 a day man and must admit to becoming rather disgruntled if I cant get my fix as I like to call it. However as I wondered Suna’s streets and once more so the decay and desperation all about me through me own eyes I resolved to put my plan to action. Years had been spent observing the fools who abused Suna. I hated hoped the fourth would bring change but his untimely death had brought it to and end any such prospect almost as soon as it had arisen. I was determined to bring glory to the city that for a century I had look in secret and loved, and like a hopeless romantic eager to give his love the world I resolved to turn Suna’s fortune upside down. Years of planning and reflection had given me an understanding of the city unlike any other and I knew what needed to be done. It would not be pleasant, nor bloodless, Suna’s oligarchic selfishness were too entrenched to simply be brushed aside. Furthermore for lasting change he would need to change the very way they thought, to get them to believe in Suna as he did, to see the potential and work to bring it to fruition. To do so I had realised that I once more need don the mantle of the monster, need to push a change on them. I could or would not let myself enjoy what was to come but no force in this country or any would stop my brining about the vision for Suna I dreamed of.
My first stop was at the large house of one of Suna’s lesser known council Members. Councillor Treudor a nice man with a penchant for fine wine and expensive art and a eye for detail. It was therefore truly regretful that I subsequently broke down his will and used my talents for manipulation to make him more hapless servant. I had considered being more subtle but I could not afford to be betrayed before I had established himself and so Treudor loyalty was a necessity. After breaking the mans mental barriers I used his position as master of villages scrolls to gain access to the village scrolls and records, not simply the regular ones bust also the restricted. Through him I was able to search through Suna’s Nin to find a precise match for what I needed. I took 2 days but I found him, one Rainara Ichushiro, a Special forces captain with no family, no history and no known contacts. He was a shadow, an unknown Nin but in a position of use. He would be my second undeserving victim and his face as he died would always haunt me. Using the information I found the safe house he was based and killed him while he slept but not before extracting the names of everyone he knew after which I returned to Suna to establish myself as Howl Ichushiro. While faithful Treudor edited both the official and secret records replacing my name with Rainer’s and changing it so that I seem to have always been a Suna Nin I one by one went to all his associates and applied powerful gen to add new memories wiping all though or Rainara out. In one week I turned from a nobody to special forces captain with all the records and witnesses to prove I been so for years. With stage one, establishing myself as Suna Nin complete I began stage two, the acquisition of an army for I would need one in the coming days.
After bending another councillor to my will it was easy enough to get me re-assigned to Suna’s most powerful force, the Northern Army. Following the 4th’s death they were the only line of defence against the ambitions of Rain and Iwa. Once there I slowly but surely bent them to my will, one by one, squad by squad I used my considerable manipulative talents to turn them against the coorupt council to believe in my vision. After 6 months among them the entire 180 strong field division was mine, body and soul if not in name. Of course military victories also helped. Questionable though my sanity might seem my abilities on the battlefield are noteworthy. Strong as Nin had become over time none could compare to my might and with careful planning and subversion of enemy forces to our side we won the first major victories against earth in years which helped to secure the rank of Colonel and official command of the Northern Army. Now that I had manpower to what was needed all I needed was a pretext to bring my army South and this proofed to laughably easy. Using my established network of contacts in Suna I arranged for the elimination of certain notable figures between the two self effacing oligarchic factions that were vying to make their own many kage. Their deaths while unfortunate had the result of causing something short of all out war civil war between Suna’s rival factions leading to a mobilisation of the forces. With the Northern border quieter then it had been in a decade and Howl appearing to be a loyal Nin with no pretentions to be kage his Division was one of the first things recalled to bolster one of the factions. It amuses till this day that I didn’t simply attack Suna I was invited there. It was laughable how gullible those eager for my aid were and of course I pretended to be happy to give it to them. Soon enough myself and half the northern army were in the city under the pretext of enforcing martial law which had been declared in light of the chaos and virtual civil war that was breaking out through Suna’s broad avenues and winding streets, tasked with the role of maintaining law and order and investigating attacks with the council’s full backing. All manner of corrupt self interested councillors approached me asking for support but I put on the guise of someone incorruptible and while my apparently steadfast loyalty to the council irritated many, others considered a weakness and deemed both me and my men to be harmless. They believe as wanted them to that whoever gained the upper hand in the council would gain control of northern army swinging the succession for kage in their factions favour. What they didn’t realise is that I took all the authority to find ways to breach and usurp all the Suna’s security protocols and take effective control of its official military power. While I did this I used my access to confidential records and a certain amount of persuasive genjutsu to get all the information I needed to blacken the council. What many are not aware of his how many illicit black ops take place every years whose nature, if they became open knowledge would ruin a man or lead him to be declared a traitor. To be honest its was a little too easy to dig up the necessary dirt. My suspicions that Suna’s was epically mal-administrated and that a vast amount of state funds was being siphored away into council accounts and too the top clans were not only confirmed but surpassed. Suspecting the village you love is badly run is one nothing, knowing those who were supposed to care for it were leeching its strength was quite another.
When I finally acted I had not a shred of pity for those bigoted self obsessed Oligarchs who claimed to act in Suna’s best interests. Even before Suna’s supposed rulers could reach for their swords the Northern army moved in like a old machine. Using their security protocols and communications against them, we silenced all communication and in the cover of darkness well many slept easily in their houses the execution squads came for them. With the amount of information we had on them it simple enough to charge most of the council with treason and arrest them before anyone was the wiser. As for the others some of more troublesome were silently dealt with while a specially selected core were left for second part of the coup. When Suna awoke the found that not only marshal still in effect but Nin of the Northern army everywhere manning all vital security points. It did not take long for the news to get out that most of the council were under house pending charges of treason. At first the shock of the coup took a while to sink in the angry mutters began to rise. Far from suppressing I encouraged them and soon enough Suna’s main areas were full disaffected people, Nin and Civilians alike demanding answers with many of the brighter ones already trying to rally support to storm the kage’s tower and liberate the council.
When I believed a suitably large crowd had gathered I had the crimes read in explicit detail, from secret negotiations with Iwa, Suna’s sworn enemy, to the redirecting of funds from a project to build hospitals and schools in deprived areas to certain personal bank accounts. I couldn’t have come up with a more damning list of misdemeanours myself and as I predicted the crowds anger soon turned against their imprisoned council and in my favour. I was even off the kageship there and then by the chanting masses for acting as I did and on my reputation as skilled shinobi. Perhaps in the past I would consented and left it at that, taken the easy course but the truth was I could not allow it of myself or others. I had realised in my investigations that the corruption was to wide spread to be changed easily over time. If I had accepted then and there then the old ways would have continued, sure I might be able to make some changes but the people would see me as hero only up to until the changes I knew to be necessary went against all they believed in. At which admiration would turn to contempt and a civil war break out. I may well have won it but the damage would be done, the loss of life may well be too great. Suna needed not to be unified but be whole and the only way to effectively civil war is if they were too afraid to try.
Even before I had started I knew in my heart, though my every action was Suna’s benefit, I could never be the hero she deserved, I had to be the monster she needed. To build Suna’s as truly unified happy fulfilled nation of people who acted for benefit of not simply themselves but the country at large I needed to change their very perceptions and do so I would take away everything they thought they knew. It was at this point many would deem political suicide, I revealed almost all my own sinister actions till this point through a known council spy and waited for the city to here of my true nature. When they learned that I had been playing this day for over a year, well before I had learned of there misdemeanours and planned to take control of the city by force there anger arose once more. Those councillors I had let escape gathered an army in secret to dislodge me but as I had hoped, the councils own crimes somewhat diminished outright support. I still regret to this day starting a civil war to head off a greater one later on but it was need to keep Suna strong. With the masses uncertain who to support at this stage, the councils crimes still fresh in the minds most Nin and civilians didn’t take part sparing them for what needed to be done. I pray even now for souls of those who died as result of a civil war I not inspired but practically engineered. They had no idea how deeply I had penetrated their organisation even before the coup and almost as soon as the council laid the plans against me I knew of them. To anger them I executed those councillors I had before leaving Suna and running North as their own forces approached. By means of spies and trick manoeuvres I tried to give the impression that I had less men then expected and was now fleeing north to join up with the rest of the Northern Division in face of the more powerful forces. What they didn’t expect was that the rest of the Northern Division were all ready lying in wait and after it was too late ambushed them in the rare the battle, or more correctly, the massacre of Hulong Plain was an entirely wasteful and unfortunately necessary means by which I cemented my control over Suna. Not only did I utterly destroy the rebels but led the fight personally killing a great many Nin laughing all the while. No one was certain what to make of my apparent like of morality and sanity but it had the desired result of creating an aura of fear. I came across as was needed as ruthless, unpredictable, calculating and powerful. When I walked back into Suna there was no fresh resistance, rumours of what had occurred and sight of the dead crucified along the wind countryside’s main highway helped ensure that. No one cheered when I entered the kage’s tower and sealed the council chambers nor when I used powers I had usurped to take over effectively military and administrative control of Suna. I had purged Suna of Corruption and ended decades of oligarchic rule but not one praised me. From that day on I was never their hero, praised and welcome but their Tyrant, tolerated and feared.
.:The Tyrant of Suna:. There have been other rebellious encounters since of course normally in response to certain actions like my refusal to allow a new council to be form but rather a mere advisory one who met at my pleasure and whose advice are needn’t take as well as many assassination attempts. To be expected given how I took control and my style of ruling. As Suna’s citizenry has come to expect I am intolerant to those who stand against me and show no mercy. However my actions were not in vain and to my own satisfaction I have manage to do what no citizen Suna expected, revitalise it. My years of careful observation had shown me where Suna’s strength lay, both in its mineral wealth and openness of its people and it was dream to make everyone else realised too.
Everyone expected me to live like a king, take Suna’s money likes it previously rulers and leave Suna to struggle on. No one anticipated that almost all the revenues accrued would go straight back out into mines and tourist development, hospitals and road, theatres and museums. In the 12 years or so since I have taken over I have laboured night and day to rebuild Suna, to make it better place for its people and the change has been remarkable. 12 years Suna was the poorest of the Great Shinobi nations, had smaller army then rain, limited health care, endemic crime very poor access to education and the wind country had one of the lowest standards of living and life expectancy of all the Shinobi nations. Now its among the richest, are city among the cleanest, crime free and full of life. The streets overflow with produce and tourists and even the poorest have accommodation and free healthcare. I think the best example comes for the world famous artist Fuu Xang who during a visit to Suna 15 years ago described it as arid wasteland barely fit for scorpions let alone human civilisation. Yet 4 years ago he moved here and has never looked back.
In addition to spending countless hours every day breathing life into a city so many had forgotten I turned my hand to indoctrinating the people with my own vision of a better Suna. At first they were weary, then merely sceptical but as time has passed and Suna got every richer and more prosperous, more and more have turned to think as I do. Compared to that the city and all its riches are as nothing. I has not always been easy going, changing the perceptions of nation is no easy task and by no means did I do so alone but quiet the opposite. I was careful to always praise and involve others, to remind them of the importance of their contributions. I lowered taxes in recognition of their hard work and created new public holidays in their honour. I endeavoured to remind them that Suna’s transformation was as much their hard work as mine and that together we can make a better future.
All of this has earned me respect and admiration if not popularity for I am ever the monster Suna needs not the hero it deserves. I did and continue to do all those actions that need to be done so Suna does not have to. I have feeling that while they generally appreciate what I have done they fear me and my tactics still. Dislike how I force change and have taken their political rights. In time I hope to restore these, when I believe Suna is ready to look after its own affairs and not simply slide into the corrupt hell hole it used to be. I was once told that the people know best and I should rule with a mandate from the people. I simply laughed till I was all but hoarse and replied that people don’t know best, the just think they do. In time however I hope he will prove me wrong. Suna must change to survive and there will come a time I can longer guide its path.
However that time is not now, nor can I afford to be now. The damnable Star threatens everything we have worked for. From moment I saw it I knew war was coming and even prepare Suna’s armies and marshal our resources for the conflict ahead I fear that should we fail everything we have done will fall with us. Cursed crystal, why doth you have to return, why could yet not simply vanish to never return.
Role-Play Sample:
When he heard Orito pursue this line of enquiry he knew his change of subject had failed in its purpose to distract and mislead the Kage which left two options neither good since both most likely who lead to conflict, one he had little chance of winning. If that occurred only one of them would leave here alive and though he fancied his chances against most people he knew was not in the same league as a Kage. The battle would be as brutal as it would be pathetically short. The options were simple, refuse to tell the Kage and most likely be taken for questioning which he would resist and in doing so killed or talk about Jashin. In this scenario there was a strong chance the Kage might try to kill him personally and conflict would begin in earnest. With either option heralding his own destruction it dawned on him it did not matter at this stage which route he went down. His shinobi instincts told him to keep quiet, admit nothing and continue to stall or ignore the question entirely but he ignored them this time. Why cover up who he really was? After all he was not ashamed of his divine master. It was not his fault the world was too weak and morally conflicted to understand him. If he was to go to battle he should dictate the terms, should take the initiative. So the Kage wanted the truth then he would have it. He would let him know of the secret life of the favoured son of Konoha. He would let him know they have been sheltering a servant of the Blood God himself. His voice no longer seemed uncertain, afraid or indeed phased as he answered Orito’s question as though it were nothing more then a remark on the weather:
“Do you believe in God Hokage Sama?”
He let it hang in the air before turning to look at Konoha’s resplendent park, looking into the distance with a strange fascination, as if looking at something beyond the sight of mortals. He did not wait for an answer because it did not matter, after all the there was no need for people to belief, the Kage included to make their existence true.
“There are many Gods out there far more indeed then any mortal could properly comprehend, gods of the sun, Gods of fertility, Gods of the road and even tiny forests Gods who dwell within trees. Each has a role to play, each a sacred duty given to them on the day of their inception. For Kami it is to breathe life in to the world and foster peace, for Loki to bring mischief and it is through us, you and me that the Gods carry out the great works. In most cases there influence is so subtle that no one even notices their guiding hands. Do the joyful soon to be mothers realise to praise Kami when he breaths life into the unborn children or thank the Shingami when he guides the souls of their departed relatives to eternal paradise? It’s up to the priests of our world who to remind the people of the favour they receive and to remind them of the fragility of mortal designs. In very rare cases there are Gods who touch our world directly, influencing it for the betterment of mankind. They seek out prophets to remind the world of their existence and help to balance out the actions of man. I was most fortunate to be so favoured”
“You ask who found me, who saved me from the darkness of my own mind and put me to a greater path, why the Lord of Redemption himself, the one known in this land as Jashin Sama”
He turned his gaze full of religious fervour and looked directly at the Kage and saw the look of recognition on his face.
“So you know of Jashin Sama do you, very few do, a result of fear borne from misunderstanding both on the part of the world and my equally deluded predecessors. I wander how much you know about My God? Perhaps you have heard of the crimes committed in his name, the dread rituals performed in his honour and of his other names, the Blood God, the Lord of Murder and the Prince of Destruction. There all too many who focus on what he does rather then what he achieves, on the actions of misguided servants who took his teachings too literally rather than his role in the greater scheme of things. My Lord is many things, the shadow in the night, the blood on the blade but more then anything he is the Lord of Damnation tasked to make people remember what they have forgotten, to remember the Gods, to understand their teachings and to punish those who lose there way. He is tasked to bring to an end those who forsake a life of balance and contemplation, those who fail to preserve their purity of soul and in so doing threaten those about them with eternal damnation in the next life”
His stare did not waiver as he continued:
[b]“If you our in desire of battle then battle we shall do. Reach out and destroy me, there are many ignorant fools who would thank you and praise your name if you did. Judge me as you see fit but before you judge my master, tell me my Lord, do you not kill those who threaten the peace you have fought to bring? Do you not willing send those under your protection to battle and die for a greater purpose? All creatures of wisdom know that to keep the good crops strong the weeds must be culled. Do not look upon my Lord through the actions of those before me, those fools who took the laws set down by the Gods too literally, who believe the Great master demanded death for every breach. There are over 7,000 divine laws and even I can not keep all of them and so for centuries they have considered humanity all equally guilty and killed without thought. Let me assure I am not of the same mind. One thing I learnt well at the academy was not to jump to conclusions”

- Whiskers – Finally Like All cats Spectral cats have highly sensitive whiskers. Whiskers special hairs, called vibrissae, are set deep within the skin and provide the average cat with sensory information about the slightest air movement around it. For spectral cats with the high sensitivity to wind chakra this is greatly increased allowing them to sense such changes in air movement up to 150m away
Make it 100 meters away. Both are still very large distances anyways.

- Name: Chakra Kyuuin Fuuin - Chakra Absorption Seal
Rank: B Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: After performing the necessary hand seals Howl’s hand will glow with chakra. When he touches his palm on his opponent’s body he will imprint a seal on his opponent that siphons off physical and spiritual energy out of them, returning it to Howl at the rate of a C ranks worth of chakra a turn. By reducing their chakra while boosting his own, it greatly increases his advantage over his opponent. The seal is removed with a unsealing tech of equal power or better of by destroying the seal itself though such an act of self mutilation causes considerable blood loss and weakens the owner in its own way This jutsu will need to be brought up in staff. Its very controversial in my opinion, and I rememebr the Ninjutsu version of this being banned on 1.0
some of your seals, such as the clan ones, are listed twice. Once under the first Fuuinjutsu post, and then under the application, etc seals. just as a note.

- Name: Hell Pit Unsealing Technique
Rank: A Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: Not dissimilar to the infamous swamp of underworld technique in affect though the principle is quite different. This Jutsu affects an area of upto 20ft in diameter by opening a veil between this world and the parallel one occupied by daemons and abominations of the darkest Nature. The users only needs to prepare the handseals and slam his hand on the ground to form the seal whether he wishes causing the ground to open up revealing 100’s of clawing daemonic hands reaching up to drag unwary victims to their daemonic realm. Those who are caught by the arms and dragged below are never seen again. This seems to be more of a Ninjutsu technique than a Fuuin jutsu technique.

- Name: Forbidden Art: Chakra Replication Seal
Type: Fuuinjutsu Rank: S Element: N/A Description: Requires 12 hours preparation with a 500 word post followed by a 2k word post to apply and requires both a willing bearer, a S rank seal master and a willing donor. This technique imparts onto the target the highly complex and draining to use Chakra Replication Seal. The seal stores within it the precise chakra structure and nature of the donor and when active will alter the bearer’s own chakra system in line with carbon copy of the donors. This replacement has many effects though the key one is that it enables the target to use their donor’s kkg and secret clan techs as if they had the kekkai genkai themselves. This change is only temporal and only transfers active or usable abilities but not physical traits. For example were the seal to contain the nara kkg then anyone bearing it upon activation could use shadow based techs of their rank or lower. However they wouldn’t gain the dojutsu of an uchiha, due to their eyes been a physical manifestation of their clan’s kkg. Though such a radical change would on its own effectively render the seals bearer unable to channel in normal circumstance the seal itself contains a array of smaller ones overlaying it known as chakra regulation seals which regulate the control of chakra to a manageable flow by means of fluctuating internal tenketsu points, in doing so the sealed individual can maintain unhindered control over their chakra and be able to use techniques as if not affected. This is not without side effects though activating the seal costs an amount of chakra equal to the bearers rank (to maximum of A rank) and maintaining the chakra regulation seals requires an additional amount of chakra equal to one rank lower then the bearer every two posts. Furthermore while active the bearer can not use their own clan based abilities or jutsu. When deactivated the bearers chakra system is restored to its former alignment. This switchback as it is called puts particular strain on the chakra regulation seals which look down a great deal of the users tenketsu seals to ease the transition and in doing so limit the rank of the users available techs in the following post, to one rank lower then the user.
This seal can only be applied once per person and contain within it the chakra structure for one clan only. Once applied the bearer can activate it will by pumping the appropriate amount of chakra in to it with all the effects as described above As Ive already read over this and had it explained to me, I see no major problems. But I am going to require someone else look over this seal.

- Name: Kenetic Reversal Seal
Rank: B-A Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: After performing the necessary hand seals Howl’s hand will glow fingers will glow with chakra. To apply the seal all he need to touch a surface and rotate his hand 90 degrees clockwise to activate it. Once active a Kenetic Reversal Seal reverses all kenetic energy above a basic level within 10ft of the seal itself. Anything with that takes more force then is involved in brisk walking, crouching or performing a hand seal is reversed by the seal on the originator of the action. Punches, kicks, even weapon strikes will have there kenetic energy turn back on the originator with potentially devastating effects. Jutsu are likewise affected though only so far as their Kenetic energy is concerned. With this seal is active punches intended at the target will own harm oneself and wind jutsu designed to knocked the victim off the feet have a tendancy to send the user flying instead. This particular seal is commonly used in training to test genin reflexes, by placing it on a wall and asking unsuspecting genin to throw kunai at it only for the kunai to fly back the way the came as the draw closer. There are two varients of this Seal a basic variant that costs a B rank worth of Jutsu the affects all actions that pass within 10ft of it and a A rank one which involves an additional or more complicated seal superimposed over the top. This further seal nullifies the affects of the original with regard to the creators action by designing it not to activate in relation to the users chakra signature. In such way the user can pass within the 10ft are and not be affected by the seals startling properties. The seal lasts until destroyed or removed This im going to need to look over in more detail at a semi-later time.
The Large majority of your Chakra impact seals, beyond the two clan ones, Im going to need hage of Z, or another mod with high medical knowledge, to look over.
Vocalisation
Due to the handseals being necessary to help phsyically mold chakra, this is going to have to cause the genjutsu to lose some effectiveness/power some where, although on that point Im not entirely sure how due to it being possible to activate Genjutsu merely by pointing at someone.
On this note, Im going to ask that another moderator or administrator look over the Summons and the Genjutsu aspect of this application. They are not my forte. |

Not exactly sure what this means. Elaborate a little more please. As for the spectral cats invisibility it is based on the principle that they like 99% of nin have colourless chakra. Where they differ from other creatures is that there chakra infused form allows them to take on the colour of their own chakra which due to being colourless makes them appear so too effective rendering them invisible, at least to anyone without a dojutsu capable of seeing chakra

Its a curious one. I initially conceived under the principal that Fuuinjutsu seals and unseals and thus would be an applicable medium for such a technique. It also involved no elemental manipulation or creation that is the basis of Ninjutsu, this technique doesn't create anything, it doesn't involve creating the pit, it just unseals what is already there. If you prefer I can change it to a Kinjutsu given it is also questionably a summon due to the manner in which the technique brings something that already exist into your presence

I would agree the cannon is misleading on this point but I think when you consider my characters lightning fast seal speed, that the ability to audibly vocalise his handseals at a considerably slower rate and broadcasting my intentions to anyone that can here goes quite some way to moderating this skill. Its useful but it is still second fiddle to hand seals that can be easily hidden and done far more quickly in my book

- Name: Sanbou Kyuukai - Three Buddhist Treasures Vacuum Destruction
Rank: A Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: Requiring 3 hand seals to perform and ending with the horse seal this technique creates 3 small seals in triangular formation set 3 foot apart from each other 1 m in front of the user. A foot behind a 2m wide swirling vortex will form between the seals and the user. The effect of this seal is to suck up with great force all the surrounding objects, items and materials like a vacuum through the triangular space and into the vortex where upon they are broken down into nothingness. This technique can suck up anything within 30m of the target that is not firmly rooted to the ground, such as trees etc
I'm assuming this would suck up yourrself as well if you were in range? Also, S-rank.

- Name: Chakra Infused Fur
Type: Natural Ability Rank: B Element: N/A Description: All Spectral Cats have heavily chakra infused fur which explains their rather dramatic colouration. This coat is constantly surging with unmolded raw wind chakra which can at the Cat’s instigation be used in one the two following manners:
1) The first and most common is to turn the Spectral Cats invisible. It does this not by using of ninjutsu but simply making them their fire take on the colour of natural chakra. Given natural chakra is colourless it effectively causes to disappear. By wrapping their tails/fur/bodies around others they too will disappear from site. This also mutes the movement as the chakra over their paws cushions their foot falls. Since they effective coated in a layer of chakra this not effective against dojutsu and other techniques that allow people to see chakra. This costs a C rank of chakra for every post it is used in.
2) To create a aura of wind aligned chakra around them reducing the rank of all attacks the suffer by one rank and increasing their speed 25%. This costs a B rank to activate the first post and c rank to maintain for all additional posts it remains active 1st Effect: Keep in mind, eyes would still be visible, and they would probably make a very noticeable amount of noise/movement due to sheer size.
2nd Effect: B-rank to maintain
- Quote :
- Hallucinogenic chakra – Consuming a great number of chakra infused insects, rodents and amphibians with strong toxins and hallucinogens does funny things to people. Calcifer is a notably fat and hungry by his family’s standards often said to have never lost his kitten fat and is well known for not being very picky about what he eats. Its wonder according to his mother his survived so long as he has though according to Tigger he spent a lot of time tripping out when he was younger after eating all manner of toxic creatures. In the high chakra environment of his home this has had rather unexpected effects. Over time his rampant feasting on any creature he sees no matter how noxious has, thanks to the chakra infused nature of all creatures in the area, past some of their traits to him. While completely incapable of making true poisons Calcifer is capable of making his chakra noxious, creating poisonous affects notably hallucinations and gen related nerve affecting toxins. They are limited in practicality and have no known effects on the physical body, short or long term, but seem quite capable of corrupting or otherwise effecting chakra systems and are capable of spreading along a targets nervous system. Given this is a chakra borne infection, it unlike many poisons can be tweaked a little by the user, in this case Calcifer to great noxious chakra that does not react with specific chakra signatures. In this way it can be used without imperilling others most notably his Summoner and bound companion Howl. His hallucinogenic chakra can be made to cover his fur at will affecting anyone touching him at no cost but to use it beyond this costs considerable chakra. The manner in which this can be done is outlined in 2 applicable jutsu, Plague Wind and Contagious Breath.
Calcifer hallucinogenic chakra can be used in one of two variants:
B Rank: Causes severe and disturbing hallucinations. It causes the target to believe that the tainted wind chakra is in fact a highly potent airborne acid that quite literally is dissolving the flesh off their bones. This horrifying affect causes them to become shocked and self focused slowing reaction time by 50% as they struggle to stop its spread. It will appear to start at there feet and spread up slowly eating away at their flash. The longer it lasts the more it will spread and as it does the target will believe the dissolving limbs unusable. By 3rd post after infection they will believe the legs eaten away and non functional, by post the 5th post after their arms to be nothing but bone and similarly non usable. If still active on the 8th post after the target will be immobilised in a self induced catatonic state. Though not a genjutsu, due to its nature it operates much it can be removed by use of Kai in addition to standard poison removal techniques. However whiles its affects are similar it is not strictly a jutsu, requiring no chakra or concentration beyond its application and cannot be sensed by normal external genjutsu detection techniques A Rank: The tainted chakra attaches itself to the target’s nervous system where it lies dormant, there it looks for fluctuations in the flow of chakra, as happens when the target is infected by a genjutsu and copies them at a base chakra level. The infected chakra continues to lie dormant in the nervous system until the system is subject to the cleansing affects of the Kai technique. The chakra shift that occurs causes the dormant toxins to activate releasing the copied chakra construct once more into the stream effectively reapplying the kai’ed genjutsu. This does not work in the case of s ranks and only works once per genjutsu B-rank: Once released, due to its nature of being fumes that calcifer releases, does Calcifer need to user more chakra to start up the genjutsu again, or will it happen automatically as the fumes are still present?
A-rank: If the afflicted uses a kai effect for whatever reason without a 2nd genjutsu being applied, would this effect be cleansed?

- Name: Mirror Image
Type: Genjutsu Rank: D Element: N/A Description: This Genjutsu create 4 mirror images of the user to confuse would be assailants and victims as to the real one. They are similar to basic bunshin though not corporeal but figments of imagination. The technique is however rather more potent. Firstly the images are not perceivably different from the user and secondly the genjutsu replicates visually the effects of using a replacement technique with a clone to hide the user’s true location among the others. While unable to harm anyone these incorporeal clones of the mind cannot be dispersed in battle and will only disappear if the gen is dispelled
Name: False Danger Type: Genjutsu Rank: D Element: N/A Description: A simple and short lived genjutsu with a potent affect. It makes it appear to the victim that they about to the victims of a powerful attack. The nature and formation of the attack are fully customisable by the user to suit their requirements. This can be used to cause the target to waste chakra trying to deal with it or herd them in a particular direction. This is notably very hard to detect thanks the attacks seeming very real with the targets ever sense from smell, sight, taste and touch making it so added to the fact that it is short lived. More often then not victims have no idea they have been gen’d till after the event, often well after. Should the target use a defensive technique against it, the genjutsu will change to reflect this and come to an end making it seem as though the attack had indeed been real and the victim’s actions successful in dealing with it. However this technique cause no actual damage and repetitive use can causes victims to become suspicious I would say these are both C-rank: The latter due to its sheer customizability, the former due to the fact that the clones never disperse, and are capable of appearing as if they are attacking.

- Name: Kori Shinchuu no Jutsu - Sly Mind Affect Technique
Type: [Genjutsu Rank: C Element: N/A Description: Kori Shinchuu no Jutsu is a Genjutsu technique which causes the target to travel around in circles. If the ninja is unable to detect the illusion very quickly, they can become exhausted mentally and physically when they are unable to reach their desired target by travelling along the same path over and over. How does it appear to the affected? Do they think they are going towards their target but never getting closer?

- Name: Untraceable
Type: Genjutsu Rank: C Element: N/A Description: This genjutsu is a simple as it is effective. While its victim/s can not sense the users chakra signature, presence or smell them rendering almost all tracking and long to mid range sensory methods ineffective. This does not affect the targets vision or hearing though making less effective in close proximity. It is a great way to cover ones escape once line of sight is broken. Sensory abilities affected in this manner don’t work immediately after the gen is broken but take at least one post to recover from the ordeal before they are once more effective. Given how this will neutralize entire KKG's for at least a post, and possibly longer (Sharingan, Byakugan) I'm going to say that this'll have to be B-rank

- Name: Toothy Grin
Type: Genjutsu Rank: B Element: N/A Description: Used when turning themselves invisible with the exception of the eyes and large grins full of razor sharp jaws. The savage grin will grow till its 2.5 m in width if the cat is not already of similar size before rushing towards the target intent on devouring them razor. It appears as if the cat is rushing forward when in fact it is cunningly wrought illusion. Should the fast mouth grasp a fictional hold over its target the pain it causes is excruciating and it will feel as though they are quite literally being chewed up. The pain and mental suffering caused make it difficult to do little more the scream and wriggle in a vain attempt to escape the fictional jaws. Should it fail first time around the mouth will circle round and try and again until the gen is dispelled. It can serve as an effective means to herd a victim. The mouth is not corporeal so can not be harmed literally though when a jutsu that might have killed has it been struck in reality passes through it appears briefly stunned. Similarly should obstructions get in the way it appears to chomp its way through. In this way it makes the technique appear exceptional lifelike; as though it is the Spectral cat itself, a clone or similar ninjutsu
Given how this is extremely difficult to distinguish from reality, and, if caught, how the target has basically lost the fight given that once caught it is impossible to escape (handsigns could no longer be made, nor any real movement, even if afflicted were to figure out it was a genjutsu) and no time limit, this wiill have to be A-rank, also, I feel that a time limit is somewhat necessary, if you can have this cat chasing someone forever until it catches them and ends the fight (in the cases of those who couldn't dispel) its a bit OP.

- Name: Creeping Insanity
Type: Genjutsu Rank: B Element: N/A Description: A genjutsu that plays on the internal fears and subconscious of the genjutsu intended target, causing them to become conflicted, traumatised and if affected long enough cause the target to become insane. This genjutsu doesn’t create or add anything that isn’t already there but heightens and corrupts the target’s conscience and thought patterns immensely causing them to doubt their own abilities, become highly paranoid and become high conflicted. Every action they take their own internal monologue will question, ridicule and prod, even when doing well self doubt will be ever present. Prolonged exposure can have lasting and traumatic psychological effects. From the first post self doubt will sink in causing the target to question his every action and have a negative outlook on his jutsu and strategies. His seal speed and reaction will reduce by 50% as his own internal conflict causes him to deliberate unnecessarily on even the most trivial action. On the third post it is still in effect his lack of confidence and self doubt will turn into chronic pessimism. They will only be able to use basic or clan Jutsu fearing that using any technique they not fully competent will only lead to their undoing. This paranoia of sorts extends to his team, who he suspects secretly don’t like him and believes their actions are designed to undermine him. He will avoid close proximity and will not engage in any team based techniques or moves and will ignore orders. This is cumulative and the self doubt effects persist as well. If he is still affected after 5 posts he will become deranged, so consumed by self doubt, paranoia and confusion that he will become certain of his own doom if he stays there any longer. The target must seek out the nearest refuge out of line of sight and cower within it. Furthermore even if they are broken from they errantly gain the following special characteristic:
Disturbed – The character has suffered a highly traumatising experience and has never quite recovered. The experience has left them some what shaky. They are far slower to trust others, become paranoid, often shunning others and as such some what of a loner. They can never be taught group techniques or learn to use combos with others. However the experience has caused them to become wary, increasing their reaction speed by 25%
This techniques only downside is it has little effect on disturbed, insane or otherwise unhinged individuals. Once you have passed the veil of insanity what’s a little paranoia and self doubt really going to do I'm iffy about this one, it seems to just go so far beyond a genjutsu. Plus, the variable between various targets would be very different. Depending on the targets resolve, confidence, level of skill etc, it would vary drastically- and possibly be conquered in some cases without even needing to release it. For now, put what would happen each post to your standard opponent.

- Name: Cat and Mouse
Type: Genjutsu Rank: A Element: N/A Description: A horrifying technique that targets the very precepts of ones beliefs systems and causes the user to question their very nature. Created with aid of their Summoner, Howl who showed them the merits of compulsion based Genjutsu this technique combines horror, memory modification and compulsion based aspects into one most unpleasant experience. The target of this technique will see a seal beneath them glow and due to a have dose of compulsion based genjutsu believe themselves victim to a powerful sealing technique. The will feel themselves morph and change into a giant man sized mouse while the spectral cat looks on licking its lips. The transformation is vivid, potent and seemingly incredibly real. While the transformation persists it applies the following negative affects on the target. These effects are cumulative and get worse over time. Furthermore a long time trapped in this technique will cause long time mental damage to the user who risks permanently believing he is a actual a mouse
Post 1: Loss of Balance and Uncertainty – During the first post when the transformation takes place the target is riddle with uncertainty and suffers from a host of balance issues linked to their supposedly new form. They believe limbs are all shaped differently and their centre of gravity is now different from the actual one. As a result the movement and reactions speeds are reduced by 50% as they come to terms with their new form. The change is also highly distracting allowing for further genjutsu to be more easily applied undetected during this initial phase Post 2: Terror – After a post of transforming into a mouse one of the first things a target becomes aware of is that there is a big and very hungry cat in the area. Rodent like fear spreads through them and they feel the urge to keep as far away from beast as is possible. This is highly useful since it allows the Cat to herd his victim with effective moving them into a more favourable position and greatly reduces the threat posed by close assault specialists Post 3: Instinctive Behaviour – If still caught in this technique the user will now starting thinking like a mouse. Unfortunately the biggest problem is that with this the forget how to do hand seals. After all mice don’t need them. Complex chakra manipulation or similar is no longer possible and the target is limit to close combat attacks, surging chakra through the limbs and basic jutsu that require little to no hand signs. Post 4: True Mouse. The final stage sees the target fully believe they are a mouse from their illusionary tail to the illusionary end of their nose. The brain functions at this point are comparable to that of a mouse. The user is incapable of using any jutsu as they don’t remember they have them and will seek to scurry away and hide where possible from any conflict. Once securely hidden they will remain there till the jutsu ends. Any attempt to get them out will lead to a furious if disorganised attack as the mouse feels concerned. Should they survive the encounter still affected by the genjutsu it is possible to lure them out of their hiding place with the offer of cheese
This goes beyond what, from my understanding, genjutsu is capable of. It is a manipulation of chakra flowing into the brain, to affect the five senses in whatever way the user pleases. Beind able to user memory wipes, etc. It also infringes heavily on the territory of mental-specialized clans such as the Yamanaka- even if this were possible to accomplish with genjutsu, it would still Have to be kkg related, having such a level of technique allows you to completely control the human brain at your leisure: for instance, making someone believe utterly that they are a mouse, and have been such from birth, is beyond the reach of Genjutsu. You could make them think that they are physically a mouse, but with genjutsu being able to fiddle with their emotions to such an extent is overstepping the specialties limits. -Note, if you were willing to change your clan to a mental based clan such as Yamanaka, this and your similar techniques would be fine. If not, this'll need to be removed or edited down to the point where it stays within genjutsu's boundaries.

- Name: Healing Breeze
Type: Natural Medical Rank: B Element: Wind Description: While his considerable chakra control grants him access to medical chakra he hasn’t the opposable digits necessary for complex manipulation, he is however capable of using a wind aligned aura to regenerate him and those close proximity. Healing Breeze is not great for sealing individual wounds but do provide a moderate amount of constant regeneration. It costs a B rank of chakra and lasts 5 posts, each posts it lasts its capable of healing up to a d ranks worth of damage. It has an effective diameter of 6ft. The healing rate is doubled if twin with a wind based technique of b rank or higher which causes the healing breeze to whip around rapidly speeding up the recovery. The b-rank or higher technique would only double the healing rate for 1 post keep in mind, not for the entire duration. How does it decide who this breeze heals? or does it affect everyone within range.

- Name: Contagious Breath
Type: Natural Medical Rank: B Element: Wind Description: Akin to plague wind in many ways this technique takes advantage of combining Calcifer’s of tainted chakra with wind chakra to great a swirling wind that cuts and in so doing so infects the nervous system of others with his chakra based toxins. Unlike plague wind however the area of effect is much narrow and more specific. Rather the whipping wind chakra around himself Calcifer gathers it in his throat and releases it either akin to a flamethrower or as a ball of compressed tainted wind chakra. The former is hard to avoid but has a relatively short range then latter far long range and fast moving but only large enough to effect one specific target.
Name: Plague Wind Type: Natural Medical Rank: B-A Element: Wind Description: Calcifer can cause wind chakra to whip wind chakra around him while disseminating his hallucinogenic chakra into the wind chakra laden air. In so doing he can create a swirling cloud of hallucinogenic chakra that creates in the nerves of those who come into contact with through which his poisonous chakra can enter the nerve system and contaminate the victims chakra network. For the feat to be effective he must stay at its centre and its not possible to direct the wind generally as he is required to sustain and maintain it. Depending on how much chakra is used it can be used effectively over different sized areas: B Rank (30ft radius), A Rank (60ft radius) What exactly do these do? Same effect as Hallucegenic chakra?

- Bruiser - Tigger is a big, bulky and heavily set cat for his type. Unlike his brother and mother he is not so subtle in his style and is frequent embroiled in close quarters combat. Constant smashing, pouncing, running and lifting have left him a powerful close combat creature. He is 25% stronger and faster then most summons of comparable rank.
Without tai as one of his focuses (his two appear to be weaponry and gen) 25% is too high: please bring down to 10.

- Name: Mirrored Assault
Type: Genjutsu Combat Form Rank: C Element: Wind Description: Tigger creates multiple mirror images of himself who attack in manner designed to confuse an opponent. Using the confusion, the Tigger will be able to launch an attack from the opponent's blindside. This can be repeated many time during the course of post given creating mirror images is simple enough, it is merely the manner in which they are used that makes this technique dangerous. Whether Tigger does it once or more it always costs a c rank of chakra for each post it is used in.
Unnecessary. Bascially, all this does is order your mirror images to attack, which is something you could direct them to do in the first place, and Mirror Image should be a C already.

- Name: Barbed Fur
Type: Natural Weaponary Rank: B Element: Wind Description: With this jutsu, Tiggers hair will buff up, standing on end. In this form it is heavy with chakra, the hair becoming rigid and spiked, in a manner similar to a hedgehog's or porcupine's quills. This thick spiky chakra coat is quite resilient reducing the potency of any direct damage technique suffered by Tigger by one rank and reducing the effectiveness of taijutsu even more. Anyone man foolish enough to strike him bare handed in this state would cause more damage to themselves then to Tigger. Should Tigger pounce or grasp a foe with this technique it can cause severe damage. It costs a B ranks worth of chakra and lasts 5 posts For b-rank such an added level of jutsu defense for such a long period is too much. Please make at most 3 post duration.
- Quote :
- Name: Tail Whip
Type: Natural Weaponary Rank: B Element: Wind Description: After forming the requisite amount of chakra in his tail Tigger can magnify its size greatly while making the fur along it rigid, spiky akin to in barbed fur with the added addition of coursing through cutting wind chakra. He can then launch it forward allowing him to attack from a distance. This spiky whip like tail has a range of up to 50ft and can either slash at its targets or if possible whip around them like a lasso. Slashes are capable of cutting through most mundane items and in themselves cause considerable damage. Should a target be caught within the tails clutches it will then be jerked violently as the tail recalled is causing excessive, even fatal, damage. The wind covered tail is capable of ripping flesh from the bone and battering aside obstacles. Enemy can be also pulled closer or held back with this technique. It cost a B rank of chakra and lasts 5 posts Again, too long, max of 2 for this one given the sheer level of offense the tail recieves with wind chakra.

- Name: Wind Claws
Type: Natural Weaponary Rank: A Element: Wind Description: Tigger is more openly aggressive tendancies then the rest of his kin and focuses on operating at close range. His love of direct combat has led him to spend a lot of time developing his wind aligned claws. He is capable of making them both fair sharper, longer, and near invisible by pouring twice as much carefully manipulated chakra in to the technique. This technique is very close to Kaze no Yiba in effect, creating wind claws that triple his usual claw reach and that can cut through almost any material. When this technique is being is being used Tigger can cut trees, walls, armour and swords in half with consummate ease. It costs a A ranks worth of chakra and last 7 posts Once again, too long, 4 post max- and is only capable of cutting through weapons and armor of up to C-rank.

- Name: The Radiant Mantle
Rank: A Appearance: Howl is the owner of a very striking coat knee length coat. So striking in fact that many a Nin and civilian alike questions his sanity. The colour can be change at will but is usually, a striking combination of pure white and light blue with gold embroidery and a startling jade and black lining. It is the sort of strange piece of garb only some one very vain about the appearance or else very brave or mad or a combination of all 3 could get away with. Oddly enough it seems to suit his flamboyant, unpredictable and easy going style even if it often makes him stand out like a sore thumb. Type: Unique Clothing Special Abilities: The Radiant Mantle has the following abilities/properties:
Colour Changing ~ One whimsical feature of mantle is the ability to change colour, it costs no chakra to change to a uniform colour and he mainly does it on a whim. Despite this his favourite colour is a radiant white giving the Mantle its name. Photo-reactive Seal Weave ~ The Cloak has a photo-reactive seal matrix placed within its weave allowing Howl by means of activating an internal seal to make him virtually disappears. This is not true invisibility for the seals can not grant such but simple the appearance of it. This achieved by two link seal matrix all over the Mantle. The first series are photosensitive and absorb the light that hits them, the second our light emitting sending causing the Mantle to change colour to reflect the images received. The result is that it makes the user appear see through. When used in this way the mantle expands and creates a hood to cover the user entirely. While active the user is fair harder to see especially when standing still since he fades into the background. While active there is a good chance the user won’t be seen at all and targeted attacks have a greatly increased chance of missing. Costs a c rank per turn to maintain. An example of what it looks like activated [Fire Proof ~ The Radiant Mantle is made from a fire proof material. This doesn’t in any way make him immune to fire or fire based attacks but it does serves to make it very difficult to set his clothes a flame and protects a large part of his from direct exposure to flames. Furthermore any item, object or pet stashed within the cloak is well protected from fire based attacks but Howl himself is not. The has led to an occasion from time to time that he has been struck by a fireball only to find to his own horror that only is he wounded but the boring 30 page report on the cities waste disposal he had put off reading was undamaged within his coats inner pocket Blinding ~ Howl can surge chakra through it at will to cause the cloak to flash impossibly brightly stunning and temporarily blinding any opponent within 5ms for two posts. This costs a D Ranks worth of Chakra Disarming ~ The cloak is so idiotic, bright and ridiculous that it makes it very hard to take Howl seriously. It has the same effects on those who see it as the harmless genjutsu, disarming his opponents and making it hard to take him seriously threat in both social and conflict situations Storage Seals ~ The coat has 4 mass storage seals on it, one up each sleeve and one on the inside where the chest pockets would be. He uses these instead of pockets partially due to their far greater storage but mainly due to a chronic fear of pocket lint Stiffen ~ The last ability of this miraculous piece of clothing is ability to harden on the application of sufficient using a variation of a strengthening seal. It mitigates damage taken by howl reducing the power of a technique by one rank. This cost c rank worth of chakra Your semi-invisibility with this can only be applicable while stationary and not performing jutsu. Stiffen can only be used to mitigate jutsu up to B-rank, beyond that it is far too chakra-advantageous for the wearer.

- Name: Tome of Howl the Undying
Appearance: A ancient and highly ornate gold bound book that glows with imbued power attracting the gaze of all present. This venerable text is rarely shown and kept well protected by Howl Rank: S Type: Tome of Forbidden Knowledge Special Abilities:
Howl’s Secret History ~ The Tome contains a great many things but perhaps most importantly the history of Howl and what he has seen are imbued into this ancient text. Those who gain access to it and with sufficient time spent studying it will learn the secret of his seemly youthful appearance and how truly ancient he really is Ancient Resource of Forbidden Knowledge ~ Not only this tome contain Howl’s own observations but many extracts and ancient and forbidden knowledge. All manner of ancient and forbidden techniques are mentioned within its vellum pages from a diatribe on Jashinism. Studying the book for 24 hours straight will reveal the means by which a user my successfully learn any about Kinjutsu including the soul Enshrinement Seal and the famous Earth Fear Grudge technique and how it might be acquired. Due the many evil and dangerous techniques within this ancient tome is considered to be item of great evil and was once on the list of the most wanted artefacts sought by the Hellsing Organisation. Due to the above aspect however Howl will never turn the book over to anyone willing so that they can study it requiring the book to stolen or taken forcibly from him first. Bound Possession ~ This book has soaked up so much of howls chakra and spirit from him pouring his life into it has developed its own consciousness of sorts and a link to Howl. Howl can always feel its presence and the book is never happy in the hands of others. Howl will always now which country it is in and upon arriving be able to follow the feeling back to it should it be stolen while the book has a tendency to slip out of the clutches of others so that one day it might be retrieved by its master. The book also carries a powerful lock seal requiring Howl’s own chakra to open its clasp normally, though a seal user of B rank or better could break it. Corrupting Power ~ Such a tome is not just a book but resource of unfathomable power due to centuries of Howl pouring chakra into it and applying seals. Anyone but Howl may use this book to tap additional chakra equivalent to a jutsu of their own rank per thread however such power is not without a price. The tome will corrupt any such user and slowing turning them to its masters biding. Every third use of this ability will lower the users ability to kai Howl’s compulsion/domination based genjutsu. Enduce Story ~ The book is very powerful and as well as ancient texts contains the stored memories of many sealed within it. At howls command any withen 2 meters of it can be sucked briefly into that memory and through the eyes of individual relive as though they were there
The only issue here is Enduce Story- Are they still bodily there, or does their body go with them. I'm assuming they can't be truly harmed in anyway with the memories. However, if they remain with you in body but not in spirit, you cannot inflict any harm, set up any traps, etc, while they dwell in the memory.

- Name: Otoshi Buta Fuuin - Covering Lid Seal
Rank: B Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: After Howl performs the needed hand seals and slams his palm on to the ground creating a shining seal. The seal binds any hostile summon in the vicinity up to A Rank drawing them into the seal itself where it remains trapped. It will remain there till the seal is either removed with a unsealing tech or a A Rank or better Jutsu is used to shatter the seal. This technique cannot be used more then once every 5 posts. up to B-rank please, or if you want to seal an A-rank summon a VERY limited duration (1-2 posts) Also, what happens to the summon after you seal them. Can the owner of the summon never use them again?
- Quote :
- Name: Jutsu Sealing Technique
Rank: C Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: One of the first techniques any sealing specialists learns is how to seal jutsu on paper or within an item. The Jutsu Sealing Technique allows the user with the use of two additional hand seals to seal away a technique formed moments earlier to be released at a later point either on command or after a set time limit. Jutsu can be sealed in all manner of objects but are usually sealed on to paper or inanimate objects. Where the justu has a directional component the seal should be considered the point of origin and any effect will emminate at a 90 degree angle from the seal. For example a fireball technique sealed so will erupt when activated shooting off at a 90 degree angle to the seal itself. Sealing a jutsu costs an additional C ranks worth of chakra on top of the cost of the jutsu itself. S Rank techniques can not be sealed in this way. While quite possible, it is not permissible for balance reasons to carry sealed jutsu on ones person ahead of missions
This can be allowable, but only if you institute a limit of times it can be used in a topic, furthermore, a C-ranks worth of chakra to release the jutsu back out of the scroll ( think about it, you absorb an a-rank, then fire it right back, you're getting an A-rank Defensive and then another A-rank offensive technique for only the price of an A-rank and a C-rank.)

- Name: Soul Reaper Seal
Type: Kinjutsu Rank: B Element: N/A Description: A simple chakra siphoning seal that attracts unneeded chakra residue to it and adds it to replenish the bearers own chakra reserves. Since only dead nin have no need for chakra it is commonly referred to as the Soul Reaper seal as it harvests Chakra from the recently dead to aid its bearer. It has creates an unseen aura of 20m around the user and successfully siphons the chakra of individuals who died in the same thread. Any dead body siphoned in this manner will restore an amount of chakra equal to their rank which adds to Howls chakra reserves. This technique can only be used on approved PCs and NPCs
This is fine- provided you're not fighting multiple opponents at once, and can keep replinishing large amounts of chakra- therefore I think it should have a 1 post period of time where you are incapable of taking action while performing this technique.

- Name: Infuuin • Kai - Secret Mark Seal • Release
Rank: S Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: Infuuin • Kai is a master fuuinjutsu believed to be developed by the Redukko Sennin himself. It’s a complicated seal that stores away unused latent chakra which can then be released back into the body when upon activation. While hideously complicated in practise and thus only known to most skilled Fuuinjutsu users its effects are fairly simplistic. Best described as a rechargeable chakra battery, allowing any bearer to store access raw chakra equal to their own rank. This can be tapped normally or used to double to strength and power of any one technique. A free, hidden S-rank of chakra, with no downsides. Sorry, can't allow this.

- Name: Extreme Weight Seal
Rank: D Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: A simple yet effective sealing technique it creates a number of very substantial weight seals that weigh down the target, slowing them up considerably and tiring them out. These are not as effective on individuals who are particularly strong and used to such limitations (such as tai mains etc). The seal requires physical contact to apply and wears off after 5 posts C-rank, 3 posts, or B-rank 5 posts.

- Name: Hell Pit Unsealing Technique
Rank: A Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: Not dissimilar to the infamous swamp of underworld technique in affect though the principle is quite different. This Jutsu affects an area of upto 20ft in diameter by opening a veil between this world and the parallel one occupied by daemons and abominations of the darkest Nature. The users only needs to prepare the handseals and slam his hand on the ground to form the seal whether he wishes causing the ground to open up revealing 100’s of clawing daemonic hands reaching up to drag unwary victims to their daemonic realm. Those who are caught by the arms and dragged below are never seen again. How strong are the hands? Are they any stronger than the quicksand effect than the swamp of the Underworld? If no, fine, if yes, then this may have to be S-rank.
- Quote :
- Name: Ninjutsu Grounding Seal
Rank: B-S Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: After forming the necessary handseals this rather unique seal has a rather colourful and at the same time unexpected affect. It grounds or rather absorbs any hostile Ninjutsu that passes within 30ft of it by causing the technique to revert to its raw chakra form and in a rather odd visual display be sucked as a stream of raw glowing blue chakra into the seal. Anything from fireballs to waves can be affected in this manner and its not unheard for a fireball to flung at a seal master using such a seal only for it to stutter before the end, stop burning and return to its base chakra form before being absorbed into the seal. While a very effective defence against Ninjutsu it does involve a certain amount of investment since it will only ever absorb as much chakra as was used the seal in the first place so the user must use some of his own in anticipation of attacks might never come. Ninjutsu that of a high rank then the Grounding Seal or the remaining space within it are not stopped by the grounding seal but are merely reduced by the amount of space left in the seal. For example where an A rank tech to pass within 30ft of a till then unused B Rank Grounding Seal, a b ranks worth of chakra will be absorbed reducing the attacks potency by an equivalent amount. Once it has absorbed its limit the creator can either remove it at no cost using the chakra within it or activate it creating a powerful explosion relative to the rank of the Seal centring on its location:
B Rank: 15m blast radius A Rank: 30m blast radius S Rank: 50m blast radius Again, gives you more bang for your buck than it should be capable of, either give an activation cost to the detonation, or dispose of the detonation completely.
- Quote :
- Name: Sanctuary Seal
Rank: A Type: Fuuinjutsu Element: N/A Description: Also know as a Phase Seal, a sanctuary seal creates a protective glowing bubble 4m sphere in diameter. Those within the sphere are fazed out of reality much like madara can do with his own body and thus any attacks will not physically or mentally harm them. The downside is while in the bubble the user can not act back thus giving its name. This technique is often used to protect injured allies or provide a moments respite. The seal last 10 rounds or until such time as it occupants step out of it. It is not possible to enter a area covered by a sanctuary seal, only to leave it (thus its not possible to keep jumping in or out of the seal to use techs and then hide again). This provides a perfect defense. This technique has no weaknesses, no defects beyond being unable to attack. Genjutsu immunity, ninjutsu immunity, anything immunity for an A-rank chakra cost. Either make this S-rank, because it could be easily used to avoid S-rank jutsu, or dispose of it unless you can come up with a far more gaping weakness.

| Jsalos, first off youre making everything sound alot more powerful than they are. Thats just a general note though. For the seals, you obviously dont understand how most of them work. Yes they ar epowerful, but 90% of the time, they require phsyical contact to use, more than making up enough of a drawback including chakra cost. Given that as a general drawback, the seals I commented on are the ones that have the biggest problems. Most of the other ones are powerful, but due to limited functionality. Also, most of the sealing stuff is a given same rank to seal, etc. |

| Im just modding relatively harshly, the same way my app was modded, but that aside
Well, for one thing, he has 3rd hand projection, which really is technically ninjutsu, but that aside, some of them are a bit too strong in terms of duratin and such. Some of them cant miss as well, such as sanctuary seal. Others, such as retribution, have way to far a duration for their effect, and their rank. Some of them have ranks that are too low: for instance, Chakra Intolerance Seal- one i don't think you had a chance to review due to its medical nature. |

| Thanks for posting guys. Its a long app and as such a struggle to get through and I wanted to thank you all for taking them time necessary to review this app. I know it couldn’t have been either short or easy to do. I want apologise for some techniques given that the questions asked should perhaps have been covered in the description in the first place
I have tried to answer all your queries and requests as best as I can below. You note some points I contend but in all such cases I have given my explanation I do feel it is worth noting seals tend to be more powerful then comparable ninjutsu for the reasons cara has already mentioned. Primarily because 90% of them need direct application (all Fuuin need it unless otherwise stated) making them far harder to use and many of them are very specific in nature thus its understandable they tend occupy the higher end of power spectrum for their rank to counter they difficulty and narrow nature of their use.
The 3rd hand projection technique like all my application techs is balanced and requires additional chakra to use. Its cost is an additional chakra as well as taking additional time I don’t therefore believe it should factor into reviews of individual techniques when they by no means need to be used simultanously. In this vein if you do intend to take in account other techniques that are not directly relevant I would like to mention that my character does have remedial taijutsu and thus is even more ill equipped then normal for applying seals in the traditional manner thus reducing the chance of him using them effectively. In any case I simply ask that my seals are considered in themselves and not in context to varying techs that may or may not be used in concert with them
Right, on to the specifics:
Sanbou Kyuukai - Three Buddhist Treasures Vacuum Destruction
- Quote :
- I'm assuming this would suck up yourrself as well if you were in range? Also, S-rank.
No. This technique is based on the following cannon sealing technique: http://www.leafninja.com/fuuinjutsu.php . I considered it rather powerful and upped it to A rank accordingly. Given its based on a B rank technically and is arguably less useful then swamp of the underworld I am not certain a S rank classification is warranted
Chakra Infused Fur
- Quote :
- 1st Effect: Keep in mind, eyes would still be visible, and they would probably make a very noticeable amount of noise/movement due to sheer size.
2nd Effect: B-rank to maintain Modified as requested
Hallucinogenic chakra
- Quote :
- B-rank: Once released, due to its nature of being fumes that calcifer releases, does Calcifer need to user more chakra to start up the genjutsu again, or will it happen automatically as the fumes are still present?
A-rank: If the afflicted uses a kai effect for whatever reason without a 2nd genjutsu being applied, would this effect be cleansed? With regard to B rank, no it only applies once per use. Calcifer would need to redo it again. I consider reapplying would be too severe. With regard to A rank yes though it would need an A rank kai to do so
Mirror Image & False Danger
- Quote :
- I would say these are both C-rank: The latter due to its sheer customizability, the former due to the fact that the clones never disperse, and are capable of appearing as if they are attacking.
Modified as requested
Kori Shinchuu no Jutsu - Sly Mind Affect Technique
- Quote :
- How does it appear to the affected? Do they think they are going towards their target but never getting closer?
Yes. Though it is more often used when people are unaware of their presence to slow them down and tire them prior to battle. Sorry its so poorly described its one of the few cannon techs on my app and as such I endeavoured to use the official description which as you have noted is rather lack lustre and vague. I can change it if requested
Untraceable
- Quote :
- Given how this will neutralize entire KKG's for at least a post, and possibly longer (Sharingan, Byakugan) I'm going to say that this'll have to be B-rank
Modified as requested
Toothy Grin
- Quote :
- Given how this is extremely difficult to distinguish from reality, and, if caught, how the target has basically lost the fight given that once caught it is impossible to escape (handsigns could no longer be made, nor any real movement, even if afflicted were to figure out it was a genjutsu) and no time limit, this wiill have to be A-rank, also, I feel that a time limit is somewhat necessary, if you can have this cat chasing someone forever until it catches them and ends the fight (in the cases of those who couldn't dispel) its a bit OP.
I am kind of confused where you get the part about ‘handsigns no longer being able to be made, nor any real movement. This technique in no way limits the targets movement or range of handsigns. If I gave it a 5 post limit by which time someone capable of dispelling it should have ample time to do so if the technique has not already successfully incapciatated the target would it be acceptable as B rank
Creeping Insanity
- Quote :
- I'm iffy about this one, it seems to just go so far beyond a genjutsu. Plus, the variable between various targets would be very different. Depending on the targets resolve, confidence, level of skill etc, it would vary drastically- and possibly be conquered in some cases without even needing to release it. For now, put what would happen each post to your standard opponent.
Modified as requested
Cat and Mouse
- Quote :
- This goes beyond what, from my understanding, genjutsu is capable of. It is a manipulation of chakra flowing into the brain, to affect the five senses in whatever way the user pleases. Beind able to user memory wipes, etc. It also infringes heavily on the territory of mental-specialized clans such as the Yamanaka- even if this were possible to accomplish with genjutsu, it would still Have to be kkg related, having such a level of technique allows you to completely control the human brain at your leisure: for instance, making someone believe utterly that they are a mouse, and have been such from birth, is beyond the reach of Genjutsu. You could make them think that they are physically a mouse, but with genjutsu being able to fiddle with their emotions to such an extent is overstepping the specialties limits. -Note, if you were willing to change your clan to a mental based clan such as Yamanaka, this and your similar techniques would be fine. If not, this'll need to be removed or edited down to the point where it stays within genjutsu's boundaries.
Will edit soon to a more acceptable form. Need to think on it
Healing Breeze
- Quote :
- The b-rank or higher technique would only double the healing rate for 1 post keep in mind, not for the entire duration. How does it decide who this breeze heals? or does it affect everyone within range
What exactly do these do? Same effect as Hallucegenic chakra?
Indeed only one helps for one post and it affects all. The technique is way to general to be effectively targeted at certain individuals so affects everyone within range, friends and foe alike
Contagious Breath & Plague Wind
- Quote :
- What exactly do these do? Same effect as Hallucegenic chakra?
Your right on the money . Both are methods for utilising Hallucinogenic chakra which otherwise would only affect those who touched Calcifer chakra infused fur
Bruiser
- Quote :
- Without tai as one of his focuses (his two appear to be weaponry and gen) 25% is too high: please bring down to 10.
Reduced to 10% strength but I feel its reasonable 25% speed. I would agree wep users are not usually as stronger but they are often as fast on their feet and both tai and weapon users train their body to a high level even if they use it in different ways
Mirrored Assault
- Quote :
- Unnecessary. Bascially, all this does is order your mirror images to attack, which is something you could direct them to do in the first place, and Mirror Image should be a C already.
Agreed, must have been tired when I wrote it . Removed
Barbed Fur
- Quote :
- For b-rank such an added level of jutsu defense for such a long period is too much. Please make at most 3 post duration.
Modified as requested
Tail Whip
- Quote :
- Again, too long, max of 2 for this one given the sheer level of offense the tail recieves with wind chakra.
Modified as requested
Wind Claws
- Quote :
- Once again, too long, 4 post max- and is only capable of cutting through weapons and armor of up to C-rank.
Modified as requested, with the addition it can also substantially damage b rank weps and armour if not cut through them.
The Radiant Mantle
- Quote :
- Your semi-invisibility with this can only be applicable while stationary and not performing jutsu. Stiffen can only be used to mitigate jutsu up to B-rank, beyond that it is far too chakra-advantageous for the wearer.
Stiffen modified as directed. I believe the limitations are two great on the semi invisibility given I already have to pay a c rank a chakra and its isn't true invisibility.
Tome of Howl the Undying
- Quote :
- The only issue here is Enduce Story- Are they still bodily there, or does their body go with them. I'm assuming they can't be truly harmed in anyway with the memories. However, if they remain with you in body but not in spirit, you cannot inflict any harm, set up any traps, etc, while they dwell in the memory.
The body goes with them but cannot be harmed while within it nor can they be harmed by the memories, the occupy a phased like unseen state within it not dissimilar to the Pensieve, from Harry Potter, which allows the user to relive others memories from a 3rd person perspective without fear of harm. At the end of the memory you returned safetly back to reality unharmed.
The whole book is effectively disadvantageous for whole to own own. It’s a purposely built in weakness designed to be exploited and potentially stolen. In no way was the last meant to harm others except if there use it as a power source
Otoshi Buta Fuuin - Covering Lid Sea
- Quote :
- up to B-rank please, or if you want to seal an A-rank summon a VERY limited duration (1-2 posts) Also, what happens to the summon after you seal them. Can the owner of the summon never use them again?
I believe the technique is already B rank. Summon is unharmed and can be used again. At the end of the battle assuming the user is still alive and assuming the seal is still in place it will disappate freeing the summon who will then return to its own realm. Its designed to temporarily imprison a summon. That said perhaps a limitation on A rank summons is needed. Modified as requested.
Jutsu Sealing Technique
- Quote :
- This can be allowable, but only if you institute a limit of times it can be used in a topic, furthermore, a C-ranks worth of chakra to release the jutsu back out of the scroll ( think about it, you absorb an a-rank, then fire it right back, you're getting an A-rank Defensive and then another A-rank offensive technique for only the price of an A-rank and a C-rank.)
This appears to be the rare case where the reviewer has made a technique more powerful then originally intended. Truth be told I had only considered this technique in light of my own techniques rather then others but I prefer your way . Thanks for the idea. I have limited it to once every other post and add the C rank as requested
Soul Reaper Seal
- Quote :
- This is fine- provided you're not fighting multiple opponents at once, and can keep replinishing large amounts of chakra- therefore I think it should have a 1 post period of time where you are incapable of taking action while performing this technique.
Modified as requested
Infuuin • Kai - Secret Mark Seal • Release
- Quote :
- A free, hidden S-rank of chakra, with no downsides. Sorry, can't allow this.
Lol you make it sound like I was secretly adding it. I added it on the principal it’s used by its one of the few cannon s rank seals of practical use and that it was performed by someone who doesn’t even have fuuin as spec. That said I can understand your reservations. I have modified it substantially to what I hope proves a more acceptable level
Extreme Weight Seal
- Quote :
- C-rank, 3 posts, or B-rank 5 posts.
I believe that you overrating the use of this seal given a large portion of our members have enhanced strength or close combat based spec. I am not sure it warrants a c rank when you consider many C ranks will do a lot more then slow you down especially when it needs directly applied to the victim. I believe a compromise of it remaining a D rank but only lasting 3 posts would be fairer in this regard
Hell Pit Unsealing Technique
- Quote :
- How strong are the hands? Are they any stronger than the quicksand effect than the swamp of the Underworld? If no, fine, if yes, then this may have to be S-rank
The hands are pretty strong, their grip/pull directly comparable to swamp of the underworld but not more so. It’s effectively the same technique but fair more concise and clear then that particular ninjutsu and as such slightly less powerful.
Ninjutsu Grounding Seal
- Quote :
- Again, gives you more bang for your buck than it should be capable of, either give an activation cost to the detonation, or dispose of the detonation completely.
Modified as requested. Added B rank activation cost
Sanctuary Seal
- Quote :
- This provides a perfect defense. This technique has no weaknesses, no defects beyond being unable to attack. Genjutsu immunity, ninjutsu immunity, anything immunity for an A-rank chakra cost. Either make this S-rank, because it could be easily used to avoid S-rank jutsu, or dispose of it unless you can come up with a far more gaping weakness.

| Hugh here .. Hmm accidently posted my reply to your thread ... in your thread which I had open to copy the code deleting the original content. For that I profusely apologise. I have attempted to reconstruct the post as closely as possible but its a little off. I am not in a unholy alliance with FML I promise:
Jsalos said you could keep your Jutsu Cara though he does think you may want to consider changing the Jutsu sealing technique. He was more concerned about the two Cat based Jutsu
Also, one more thing about 3 Bhuddist Vaccum Destruction: yours is on the ground, not in the air, and from the way you describe it, sucks in everything in all directions, and are placed on the ground, whereas the cannon technique only sucks in things in a conical direction which the three puppets were facing, furthermore, this technique constantly remains active, whereas the canon one is a one use move, and this one you can select who you want to suck and who you do not (at least that is what I inffered from your "no"
Infuuin Kai- Which character has this? The only one that comes to mind with something similar is Tsunade and that chakra concentration technique is banned.
Specifics:
In relation to Strengthening Seal - I'm assuming this has a time limit? If so, how long?
In relation to Elemental Suppression/Domination Seals - Ask to state the cant be stacked and not to have affect on spec/advance elements
In relation to Retribution Seal - You have to SEVERELY nerf this one: I understand you need to apply it and all, but if you do, you've won the fight: it's like a stronger form of the jashinist circle which is an S-rank Jutsu, but you have no requirement to stand in 1 place, for seven posts, they try to kill you they only end up killing themselves too, and you live through it because of your unique nature of being sealed within your summon.
In relation to False Prison: Inner Confliction Seal - Are they able to use ninjutsu and manipulate chakra while within? If not, why not? Can ninjutsu, genjutsu, and thrown weapons move through it uninhibited?
In relation to Mental Stimulation Seal - 2x is enough I feel for a C-rank
In relation to Repulsion Seal - Keep in mind, if it is a C-rank wind technique each time something tries to cross, then this technique should be B-rank. Also, fire jutsu would be enhanced by the wind rather than being pushed back.
In relation to Paralysis Seal -The area should be visible to your opponents, otherwise it will take almost anyone completely by surprise if it is an invisible force field that only you would know about
In relation to Physical Energy Regeneration Sealing Technique - Time limit on this one please
In relation to Chakra Kyuuin Fuuin - Chakra Absorption Seal - Time limit on this one to, like 4 posts should be plenty for the amount of chakra you're gaining.
In relation to Chakra Intolerance Seal - This one is just as bad as retribution if not worse, basically if the opponent uses a B-rank technique once, their dead, and they don't even know what hit them... (B-rank is enough to cause enough internal damage to kill) Also, 7 posts is far too long a time span for such a potent effect. Please reduce to 3 posts, and weaken the effect of damage. |
