ø Art of Shadow Manipulation ø ”The body only has one natural reflection. The shadow. So then, is not the shadow’s reflection the body?” – Nara Proverb Effect: Characters with this skill may purchase "Kagemane no Jutsu" and "Kage Kubishibari no Jutsu". Each jutsu may be used 2 Times per Battle. Restriction: Nara Clan Cost: -3, 15 Post Training ۰ Kagemane no Jutsu | Shadow Imitation | 影真似の術 Type: Ninjutsu [ Hijutsu; Nara | Hijutsu; Kagemane | Set Trap ] Rank: -- Cost: 120x Chakra Damage: N/A Effects: For this jutsu, X equals the target’s ninja rank (1 Genin; 2 Chunin; etc.). This jutsu is always considered the same rank as it's user. The user may trigger this trap in the same phase they set it, and may end this jutsu as a free action in any phase. During this jutsu the target has their Evasion set to 0 and the user loses 25% of their total Evasion. While this jutsu is active, the user may not perform any action that requires their hands. [Hijutsu; Nara] jutsu the user knows have the [Sealless] tag while this jutsu is active. When this jutsu is successful, and at the start of each of the target’s turn, they must roll a D(100 - E + S), aka the Breakout Roll. For this roll, E is the difference between this jutsu's hit chance (when it succeeded) and the target's dodge roll to evade this jutsu (if no dodge roll was made against this jutsu, their dodge roll is 1). S begins with a value of 0, and after each failed breakout roll, S increases for the rest of the battle by 1/2 of the breakout roll, rounded up (A roll of 61 would increase S by 31). After a breakout roll has been made, a target may choose to pay 5% of their Total Chakra and Stamina to increase S by 10. The target will then proceed with their turn according to the following: 1-25: Target can take no actions that require movement, but all actions have a 60% Fail Chance. 26-50: Target can take no actions that require the legs, but all actions have a 50% Fail Chance. 51-75: Target can move normally, but suffers from “Exposed” for 1 turn. 76-80: Target can move normally, but suffers from “Fazed”. 81+: Freedom! The effects of all [ Hijutsu; Kagemane ] active on the target end. Description: The user, long trained in the art of manipulating their own shadow through chakra, will stretch and swell their shadow however is necessary in order to get it to touch the opponent’s shadow. Immediately once connection is made, the user’s shadow will flow into the enemy’s, causing the user to take possession of it through chakra. The user will then move their body, and as their shadow moves, the user’s chakra that has synched with the opposing shadow will force it to react in a similar fashion. Ultimately, this means that the enemy will be forced to obey the laws of existence, moving in an exact mirror of the user. Restriction: Art of Shadow Manipulation, Nara Clan Points: 8 JP ۰ Chisana Kage Kubishibari no Jutsu | Lesser Shadow Neckbind | 小さな影首縛りの術 Type: Ninjutsu [ Hijutsu; Nara ] Rank: Chunin Cost: 75 + 3x Chakra Damage: 1x Damage Effect: For this jutsu, x equals the user’s level. The target must be under the effects of a [ Hijutsu; Kagemane ] to activate this jutsu. This jutsu inflicts "Choking" for 3 turns. For the next three turns, anytime the target opponent takes choking damage increase the "Choking" turn counter by 1/15x, rounded down, and if a [Hijutsu; Kagemane] is also active on them increase the value of E in the [Hijutsu; Kagemane] by 1/3x, rounded up. Description: The art of shadow manipulation is more than just capturing an opponent’s shadow. It is to make them fear it. It is to take that shadow and turn it into a weapon. By detaching a portion of the opponent’s shadow, a practitioner of this technique will form a black hand that will wind its way up the victims body, until the shadowy fingers close about and constrict the victim’s throat. Originally designed as an assassination jutsu, the Kage Kubishibari is a silent killer, whose real power lies not only in its crushing strength, but the demoralizing, frightening effects of watching your own shadow rear up to kill you while you lie helpless to stop it.
