Jinton Dust Release 塵遁 Jinton | Dust Release |塵遁 A relic of the Tsuchikage of old, Dust Release is a highly advanced nature manipulation, only mastered by the strongest and most detail oriented of shinobi. The release itself is a constant math problem, calculating the necessary size, density, and thickness of the geometric shapes in order to control the native destructive force of the Dust Release. At the center of those geometric shapes is the true power of Dust Release. The unstable blend of chakra is like a frozen nuclear explosion, a small pinprick of light contained within the construct of chakra. When released, Dust release techniques will expand their bounds according the ninja who created them. Then the explosion inside detonates, vaporizing anything unlucky enough to be caught inside of the blast with a blinding flash of light. The results are what give the nature manipulation its name, as it reduces everything to dust, the intense pressure separating enemies and constructs on an atomic level. It is rumored that before a ninja can claim the mantle of Tsuchikage, they have to prove they can use Dust Release, as its difficulty of use and the incredible speed of thought required to master it signify not only a powerful ninja but an amazing tactician to boot. Restrictions: Iwagakure, Ranks in the following Skills may only be taken once every 40 Levels. Jinton Affinity Effect: Characters with this skill gain the skill ‘Combinatorial; Dust’ for 0 Skill Points regardless of requirements. When purchased, the skill 'Combinatorial; Dust' replaces their village bonus skill. When purchasing the skill ‘Ninjutsu Mastery; Dust’, characters with this skill may purchase 2 ranks for 1 Skill Point. Description: Jinton is often seen as a mark of an exceptional shinobi, and those who can master its inner workings faster than those around them are quickly earmarked for advancement, especially in Iwagakure. Ninja who attempt to use Jinton without an ample supply of chakra should be careful, as its destructive potential can easily backfire on the user if mishandled. Cost: -2 Jinton Empowerment Effect: When activating a [Dust] jutsu, the user may choose not to target any items for destruction with the ability of 'Combinatorial; Dust'. For each item that would have been targeted, that [Dust] jutsu will deal an additional 40x Total Damage, where x is equal to the number of ranks in this skill. Description: The explosion at the heart of any Dust Release is essentially just unstable chakra. An expert in Dust Release can easily pour more chakra into the heart of the explosion and amplify the power that the jutsu can create. This tends to dull the destructive atomizing power that shreds physical matter, but increases the air pressure inside the geometric field, causing extensive damage to anyone caught inside it, as if struck by a massive concussive blast. Restriction: Ranks in this Skill may only be taken every 40 Levels. Maximum Ranks: 2 Cost: -1 Jinton Atomization Effect: When activating the effect of 'Combinatorial; Dust' , the opponent's equipment will be destroyed on a roll of (1 + x) or lower, instead of just a roll of 1, where x is equal to the user's rank in this skill. Description: Dust Release has never been a calm or quiet element. It has always been loud, flashy, and destructive. For a master of Dust Release, however, they can harness that explosion, making minute, millimeter adjustments to the location of the geometric chakra barrier before expanding it. This allows them far greater precision with where the chakra will explode, often stripping targets of their most powerful pieces of equipment. Restriction: Ranks in this Skill may only be taken every 40 Levels. Maximum Ranks: 2 Cost: -1 Jinton Obliteration Effect: When a character with this skill applies the effects of the skill ‘Subtle Elements; Wind’ to a [Dust] technique, the fail chance of jutsu used in the response phase are increased by an additional 5% per rank in this skill. Additionally, once per battle per two ranks in this skill, a ninja may choose to have their [Dust] jutsu automatically deal critical damage to any Clone, Construct, or Summon that it hits. Damage dealt by that attack does not carry over in the case of broken Barriers or Shields. Description: Dust Release’s power lies in its destructive and explosive power. Atomizing things inside of its field gives it a unique ability to break down non-moving targets like walls and barriers, but the chakra field that it creates is also excellent at severing the ties between ninja and their clones or summons. When specifically targeting these, a Dust Release technique will often completely vaporize them with little to no effort. Restriction: Ranks in this Skill may only be taken every 40 Levels. Maximum Ranks: 2 Cost: -1
