Sudden But Inevitable Betrayal

Komochizuki-kumi | Round 2

It was a beautiful evening in Arrakis, with a cool wind blowing in from the coast. Twilight cast all sorts of pastels in the sky and it was the perfect setting for a relaxing vacation. Reality was not so kind. This was an evening following the bloody campaign against Sunagakure no Sato. Konohagakure and Kirigakure had been allies in the war, but there was something foul in the air. General Suizuma Kazu had vanished before all her troops were pulled out, leaving Kaguya Kaneki as acting First Captain. The Mizukage ordered his Kirigakure ninja to destroy the rest of the Konohagakure force. His next target was the Hokage. The Hokage, anticipating the betrayal had ordered Field Marashal Uzumaki Kazuto to eliminate the Kirigakure army while they were weak. Only these two now held this information. Whoever was left standing would direct the flow of the next war.

**Cellar Door** · May 27, 2017

The was an air of tension between the two groups of ninja. Where the day before they had fought side by side against a single enemy, now the two groups had separated back out into their own kind. Once more they were like oil and water. To some it was just a natural habit, seeking out friends and allies to spend their evening with, but Uzumaki Kazuto knew better. The young kept watch over the Kirigakure encampments from a high vantage point on one of the buildings that made up the Arrakis skyline.

Kazuto was no stranger to conflict, and the way that both groups seemed to stalk the perimeters of their encampments told him that Kiri had something planned. Of course Konoha's movements were on his orders. Against the wishes of the Hokage, he had informed all of the ninja in the area that conflict with their allied village was a possibility. He wasn't about to be the only man standing against an entire army should the shit hit the fan as it was predicted.

He would probably catch hell for it when he got back home, but most of the Konoha troops had already been evacuated under the cover of shift movements. Only the strongest and most battle-hardened ninja remained behind to route any attempts to follow them back to their village.

The blonde young man adjusted his headband as he watched the soon-to-be enemy camp. He hoped nothing would come of this, but the air was thick with impending violence.

Spoiler

• Academy Student
Effect: This skill may only be taken at character creation. Characters with this skill begin play at the rank of Academy Student, which is considered to be below the rank of Gennin. Academy Students begin play with 100 Stat Points, and gain 100 Stat Points per level until they reach 500 at level 0. Academy Students begin play with 2 JP and gain 1 JP at level U3, and U1, while they begin play with 1SP and gain 1 SP at level U2. Progression between levels U4 and 0 requires 200 Experience per level. Upon reaching level 0, the Academy Student must pass an exam to become a Genin, upon completion they receive an additional 1 SP and 2 JP as a rank bonus. Academy Students may not train by themselves for experience, and may not purchase techniques above their rank (Unless permissible by Death Bonus). Jutsu of the Academy rank have a maximum DP of 40, and utilize a 3:2 ratio when determining chakra and stamina costs. Academy Students may begin play with 1 additional free Academy Technique of their creation. Basic Path skils may not be taken until reaching level 0. Death bonuses apply at character creation.
Description: Possessors of young minds and fruitful imaginations, Academy Students are perhaps one of the only pure things about the Shinobi world. They know little of bloodshed or strife, and only see their superiors as radiant heroes. Often, these young boys and girls are disillusioned and lead astray by dreams of fame and power; they believe that a Shinobi life is one of pure glory, and that freedom from all their suffering is but a Jutsu away. As expected, these young children have poor strength and chakra manipulation, but are willing to learn. Their dreams often turn them into willing, if not impossibly overbearing students.
Cost: 0

• Obtrusive
Effect: Attack strikes that target a character with this skill in a Team Battle have their Chance to Hit increased by 7%.
Description: Some people just don't fit in. It may be the way that they look, talk, or, in some cases, smell. For whatever reason, somebody with this skill finds it difficult to blend in with the crowd.
Cost: +1

• Compulsive Catchphrase [Y'know]
Effect: Characters with this skill must say their catch phrase at least once every 50 spoken words or once every 800 written words, whichever comes first. This count is kept between posts. If the character fails to meet this requirement they take a -5% reduction to all of their non-tank stats for the rest of the day, cumulative. This reduction lasts for the rest of the day in character or at least two (2) days in real life, which ever is longer. The chosen phrase must be at least one word.
Description: The character has a compulsive habit to repeat the same catch phrase over and over multiple times a day. It is borderline disease in nature, and if the character does not, or is unable to say the catch phrase so often, their morale drops subconsciously, leaving them considerably weaker. Dattebayo.
Cost: +2

• Defender
Effect: During a character with this skill's turn, if a non-clone ally is the target of an unresolved attack that did not target the user as well, this character takes the attack instead. This character may only apply 50% of their total defensive modifiers. Only triggers once per battle per ally.
Description: A defender is a person who refuses to allow injury or death to effect those he cares about. Whether through personal tragedy, or powerful moral compass, a defender has gained the desire to protect those dear to them, and will do anything in their power to protect those lives.
Cost: +2

• Lonely
Effect: Characters with this skill reduce Experience gained when training alone by 50%. Characters with this skill may not take missions alone.
Description: Some people can go through life relying only on their own strength of will, facing off against the world by themselves. Others, like those with this skill, are eternally desperate for companionship and find the idea of operating on their own as demoralizing as they do terrifying. They feel a constant, codependent need for a companion, or something like it that they can see, feel, and touch in order to cope with everyday life, finding even antagonistic company preferable to isolation. While these individuals often have a solid grasp of teamwork, they are often woefully unprepared for situations in which they must act by themselves for an extended period of time.
Cost: +3

• Uzushio No Chōjū Life Force - Rank Three
Effect: Characters with this skill permanently gain 100 Health per rank in this skill. Additionally, characters with this skill do not begin to suffer negative effects of aging until they reach the age of 100.
Description: Being descended from those who called Uzushiogakure their home, the Uzumaki clan is well-known for their incredibly powerful life force. Very rarely do Uzumaki suffer from common illnesses, and their bodies are able to sustain much more punishment than the usual ninja. Many members of the clan live well beyond what is normal for most ninja, sometimes up to or even exceeding thirteen decades.
Restrictions: Ranks of the following skills may be purchased once every 25 levels.
Maximum Ranks: 5
Cost: -3

• Mokuton Vitality – Rank Four
Effect: Characters with this skill permanently gain 200 Chakra per rank in this skill.
Description: The Mokuton is as legends say a bloodline that stems from one most ancient and elusive. The Rikudō Sennin had two sons. The eldest was said to have been born with the gift of the Sennin's eyes, and his younger son, Ashura, with the spirit of determination, force of will, and indomitable energy of his father. The younger son went on to found the Senju clan. Senju who now command the powers of the Mokuton kekkei genkai also burst with the overwhelming energy of Ōtsutsuki Ashura.

• Konohagakure Hitai-Ate
Item Placement: Any
Item Attributes:

Steel Plating -- Wearer gains +100 to their Defense statistic while this item is equipped.
Lightweight Armor -- Wearer gains +100 to their Speed statistic while this item is equipped.
Hero's Resolve -- Whenever the wearer would attempt to respond to an attack aimed at an ally, they may add +3 to their roll. This effect is only active while the headband is being worn.

Description: Kazuto's standard, black hitai-ate, bearing the mark of Konohagakure. This headband was not the one he received during his graduation from the academy, and is actually the forehead protector that his mother wore when she was a genin. The plate with the village insignia on its face is made of stout steel, and the fabric of the headband is soft and comfortable. Most of all though, it reminds Kazuto of his mother.

• Vest Of The Stormgod

Steel Plating -- Wearer gains +60 to their Defense statistic while this item is equipped.
Deflective Material -- Wearer gains +60 to their Evasion statistic while this item is equipped.

Audacious Spirit -- While this item is equipped clones created by the wearer have their Speed Percentile reduced by 8.

Description: The flak jacket worn by Uzumaki that denote the young shinobi's standing a chunin within his village is an exceptional piece of equipment despite its rather average appearance. Like most of the armored vests that make up the standard uniform of Konohagakure, Kazuto's jacket is a drab greenish color. What isn't obvious though is the additional enhancements that have been made to the armor. Plating of a lighter than usual material has been added to the armor to reduce encumbrance while increasing defense. Only a single token makes the Uzumaki boy's armor stand out from the norm; a lightning bolt shaped piece of metal sticking through the front of the fabric like a pin. The bauble marks his victory at the Chunin Selection Exams in Kumogakure (It was originally intended to be worn on the hand, but he disliked the feel and had to get creative with it.).

• Grasp Of The Guardian
Item Placement: Hands

Made a strong, grey metal these gloves have an aversion to fire and basic chakra along with being equipped with a ninjutsu amplifier. On the backs of there hands now sits a symbol of the Leaf, proudly displayed for all the see. On the palms of the gauntlets are small engraved trees as homage to the fallen Senju Ryuunosuke.

Pwnzie · May 28, 2017

Being a shinobi that had experienced his fair share of battles and carnage, this particular battle, a fight between the leaf village and the village hidden in the mists had been a conflict that was boiling point that could end up with fire overtaking the mist, or the mist extinguishing the fire when all was said and done. Suizuma Kazu's forces all but destroyed, Kaguya Kaneki was the highest ranking officer that remainedit in the mist villages army, and under specific orders from the Mizukage to bring the fight to the hokage and destroy konohas armed forces no matter the cost to their own troops. Kaneki had built a reputation for himself as Kazu's right hand, a bloody and extremely violent right hand. The air on the battlefield was almost so thick it was like you could feel the metallic taste of the blood on the tip of your tongue when you brought in a breath. Jamming his bonesword through the armor plates of his latest target, he gave it a twist scrambling their insides a bit, the life leaving their eyes.

Wiping the crimson red from his face with the sleeve of his jacket, he surveyed the battlefield around him, looking for signs of his potential target, there was very few konoha shinobi even still around, Kaneki wasnt even truly certain the hokage was still in the immediate area; but orders were orders, and his search would continue.

Alien Physiology

Description: As observed by anyone who tries to operate on a Kaguya, they will find that their physiology operates on its own accord. While it is close to a normal body, there are distinct differences in bone, joint and vein structure.

Effect: For every rank of Immortal Vessel, total healing techniques towards this character is 10% less effective. Required hindering trait.

Cost: +1

Fearful

Description: Some might call you a coward, but you like to think of it as smart. I mean, why we all be afraid of powers greater than our own, that's just a survival instinct... right?

Aggressive Martial Artist [Kaikashin Buyō]
Effect: Any time a character with this skill spends 'Charges' to affect a Taijutsu technique of [x] Style, the base damage of that technique is increased by 10% per charge spent.
Description: While each style of taijutsu is different, those who practice those martial arts also differ greatly. Some are reactive, choosing to counter-attack or apply their opponent's momentum against them. There are others though that generate momentum purely on their own. These shinobi are the intimidating and aggressive bruisers who dominate the battlefield. Their attacks, perhaps not as subtle as other fighters, tend to be impressively strong.
Cost: -2 (-0)

Kaikashin Buyō

Effect: Allows for the accumulation of “Blossom” charges. A Blossom charge is generated whenever a Kaikashin Buyō technique successfully strikes its target and whenever Shikotsumyaku: Honeokori is utilized to create a weapon in the Setup Phase, though a charge is only granted for the first weapon made. A Blossom charge is lost whenever this character successfully Blocks an attack, or when a weapon created with Honeokori is destroyed. Blossom charges are utilized in the following ways:

- Blossom charges may be spent in the Response Phase, as a free action, before any action is taken. Spending Blossom charges in this way increases this character’s chance to block by 5X%, where X is equal to the number of Blossom Charges spent.

- A single Blossom Charge may be spent during the Main Phase to treat a Kaikashin Buyō technique as if it were a Weapon Technique made with a Medium [bone Blade] weapon that possesses the Razor Edge attribute. This effect may not be utilized if Blossom Charges were spent during the Response Phase through this skill's effects.

- Whenever this character is damaged by a Close Range Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, Basic Attack, or Weapon attack from a Medium Sized Weapon or Smaller, they may choose to have 2Y% of that attack’s total damage dealt back to the attacker as unmodified damage; Y is equal to the number of Blossom Charges that this character currently possesses. When this ability is triggered, this character sacrifices one Blossom charge.

Cost: -2

The Path of the Defender

Description: Though few have the inner strength and willpower to do so, some shinobi are brought down a distinct path, focusing on defense, either because they do not wish to harm others, because they want to protect those they love, or because they take heart to the classical proverb, the best offense is a good defense. These shinobi-nin are often very stubborn, and also often very naturally tough.

Effect: Every 5 levels gain another Jutsu Point. Once per battle, the user may negate a single critical hit and take normal damage instead. In addition, choose two of the following abilities.

Seal-less Jutsu
Description: A dangerous yet powerful sealing method in which the ninja has the deep knowledge and ability to shape chakra imprinted into the base of their skull. The ninja is given a small seal on their occipital lobe, often beneath the hair where it is not visible. With the seal the ninja is able to shape chakra without the need of hand seals, having such intrinsic knowledge of all possible seals at the forefront of their mind. Many ninja that have gone through the operation to obtain this seal claim that closing their eyes briefly helps them see the seals and preform them. This is, however, unnecessary. Due to the location and nature of this seal, it often results in dangerous side effects that many opt to not risk.
Effect: All Ninjutsu and Genjutsu preformed by this character are considered to be Seal-less and never require the use of the hands. When a character takes this skill they lose 1000 EXP. EXP lost this way does not cause the character to lose levels. [Taken at 31981 exp to recuce to 30981 exp.]

Whoever owned these could leave themself vulnerable to one day being hunted down by this creature of darkness, but the powers they had were well worth the risk to the right kind of person.

**Cellar Door** · May 29, 2017

When battle finally broke out, Kazuto was too late to protect those shinobi from the Leaf who had remained behind to protect the retreating main force. Of course the remaining ninja fought back spiritedly, but that did not mean the Uzumaki's presence would not be needed on the field. He rushed from building to building, searching frantically for the shinobi acting as the leader of Kiri's attack team.

At last, he caught sight of him. A shinobi wielding bones like blades, and ravaging the other Konoha-nin. Even if he wasn't the leader he would need to be stopped before they had any hope of routing the attack. "Y'know, why don't you pick on somebody your own size?" The young blonde said, hopping down onto the earth. One of his comrades had just died at the hands of this ninja, but he wasn't scared. Battle always seemed to thrill him.

Kazuto formed a single handseal and flickered out of view of his enemy. From behind the Kaguya, he could get the drop on his foe. He brought his finger to his lips and nipped down, slicing through the skin with his incisor before slamming his palm into the ground. "Summoning Technique!"

In a cloud of smoke, Kazuto was quickly propelled up into the air atop the head of the mighty boss of toads. From there the boy wove another quick succession of handseals. Though the Uzumaki boy had never been a hunter-ninja, he had picked up a few tricks from certain members of the Konoha Black-Ops. This technique was one of them. "Temporary Paralysis Jutsu." He said under his breath, hoping to fully lock the opponent up in his attack.

• Shunshin No Jutsu | Body Flicker Technique | 変わり身の術 III
Type: Ninjutsu [Void | Evolving; Shunshin No Jutsu II]
Rank: Jōnin
Cost: 300 Chakra
Effect: This technique may be performed in the Response Phase or the Setup Phase;

Response: This technique may be performed in the Response Phase as a Free Action. The user of this technique increases their Evasion statistic by +450 during the turn that this technique is used. (Dodge rolls made during this turn must mention this technique.) This technique has a 5x% chance to fail, with 'x' being equivalent to the number of unresolved attacks targeting the user. This technique may be performed 2 times per battle in the Response Phase.
Setup: The user of this technique increases their Accuracy statistic by +450 during the turn that this technique is used. The user of this technique may not perform another technique in the Setup Phase for 2 turns. This technique may be performed 2 times per battle in the Setup Phase.

Role Play Effect: The user of this technique may reduce the required post-length when Traveling by 50% when performing this technique outside of battle.
Description: One of the basic techniques taught to most students during their time at the academy. The Body Flicker Technique is considered an extremely versatile ability, and is one of the most widely used general shinobi skills. The jutsu itself is a high-speed movement ability that uses chakra to temporarily vitalize the body, allowing movement that is nearly untraceable to the naked eye. The user often disappears from the field of their opponent’s vision in a puff of smoke, as a means to further distract their path of escape. Though Shunshin has many applications, its most common use is in evading hazardous attacks.

Skill Trigger:

• Shunshin Acceleration; Rank I
Effect: Once per battle per rank in this skill, when performing the technique ‘Shunshin No Jutsu’ a character with this skill is also afflicted with the status effect ‘Haste’ for 1 turn.
Description: The process of infusing the body with chakra to heighten mobility is a common concept for most ninja, and using the Body Flicker Technique as a means of getting from one place to another is equally common. Truly skilled users of the Body Flicker though, are capable of enhancing their speed beyond what is considered normal by prolonging the release of chakra into their muscular system.

Description: Having signed a contract in blood, any ninja with this Ninjutsu technique can summon a beast, or beasts, from another plane of existence to use in battle. They must use their own blood as a "sacrifice" to summon them, after performing the hand seals corresponding with their animal and marking their point of summoning on the ground with both hands. Animals range from the famous Japanese Triad of the Toad, Snake, and Snail/Slug, to dogs, spiders, turtles, monkeys, and many more.

• Kanashibari No Jutsu | Temporary Paralysis Technique | 金縛りの術
Type: Ninjutsu [Void]
Rank: Jōnin
Cost: 100 Chakra
Effect: The target of this technique may not roll to dodge this technique; instead the target must roll a 6-sided dice. If the outcome of that roll is odd, the target of this technique is afflicted with 1 turn of the status effects ‘Vulnerable’ and ‘Stunned’. If the outcome of that roll is even, nothing happens. This technique may be performed 2 times per battle. If a target of this technique is 2 ranks or higher than the user then this technique does not affect them.
Description: The Kanashibari no Jutsu is a ninjutsu technique that physically restrains an opponent as they had been bound by invisible wire with the strength of steel. With a target incapacitated for a period, this technique allows them to either attack again or otherwise incapacitate the target without killing them. For this reasing the Temporary Paralysis Technique is highly valued among members of ANBU and other black-ops units, who often use it to take enemies into custody or interrogate them.

Kaneki ground his teeth together in frustration, how he could be so stupid to fall into this kids trap he had no idea, and worse off he managed to summon something while Kaneki was paralyzed and unable to move, hell he had hardly even seen that his opponent was using that move until it was too late, it was rare that someone was so much faster than him. He usually was able to keep up or one up anyone he came across, but this blonde haired kid was like the yellow flash all over again. "You M-mother fuc-cker. I will d-destroy you."

[Activating Shikotsumyaku Dead Bone Pulse]

Spoiler

Shikotsumyaku | Dead Bone Pulse | 屍骨脈

Advanced System

The Kaguya were the lost and forgotten child of the Mother of All Things; Otsutsuki Kaguya. Even bearing her name, they were disregarded in the likes of the Hyuuga, the Uchiha and the Senju as the four decedants of Kaguya. When stripped of mythical eyes and sagely energies, the last ramining genetic boon Kaguya gave her children was her own body. Not every member of the Kaguya clan unlocks their birthright, but due to their ferocity and unmistakable prowess, those who do not are not remembered. Those that do not find other ways of being deadly. The Dead Bone Pulse allows for the manipulations of one's own bones. By fusing the calcium in their bones with chakra, they are able to remove and regrow their macabre bones. Due to this, the physiology of every Kaguya is not like the typical human, making medical intervention extremely difficult. Many had sought to scientifically understand the Kaguya but few efforts proved successful. For this reason it was thought they became near extinct: the family knew only to break, not to mend. The membersi n Kirigakure were all but nothing for generations saved only by the Bloody Mists unlikely ally, the Water Daimyo. Due to the Shodai Kyoukage that the Kaguya were reborn in Otogakure. Today these gardners continue to fill the earth with blood.

Cost: 7.5% Activation, 5% Upkeep

Restriction: Advanced regeneration skills are suspended while this is active. Ranks may be purchased every 15 levels.

Immortal Vessel
Description: While not the most obvious ability of the Shikotsumyaku, the body of a Kaguya is given the innate ability to regenerate itself. It is most notable in its ability to regenerate the bones of the body, but over years of evolution their regeneration does not end at the bones. A Kaguya's skin may close in response to a wound, because of calcium deposits that rush towards the open site. With each break, cut and bruise, their bodies become more durable and is one of the many reasons the Kaguya were sought out by Orochimaru to become his next vessel.
Effect: While Shikotsumyaku is active the user will regenerate 3% (rounded up) of their total Health per turn per rank of this skill.
Requirement: Alien Physiology
Cost: -2 per rank, ranks may be purchased every 15 levels [-10]

Ranks: 5 / 5
Max Ranks: 5

Bone Pulse Reaver
Description: The warriors of the Dead Bone Pulse gain a jolt to their fighting prowess when their bones come alive. The calcium in their bodies deposit along key points in their hands and feet and make blows against their opponents even mightier. The brute force of the Kaguya savages are nearly unparalleled, whereas typical fighters employ tactics, these ninja rely on brute force. Due to their strong bodies, the Kaguya often do not fight as teams. They often see themselves as armies of one and indestructible against any foe.
Effect: While Shikotsumyaku is active the user will gain +1.25x% (rounded up) Taijutsu per rank of this skill, where the value of x is equal to the level of the user.
Requirement: Alien Physiology
Cost: -1 per rank, ranks may be purchased every 15 levels [-4]

Ranks: 4 / 4
Max Ranks: 4

Bone Sculpting
Description: The corner stone of the Kaguya legend lies in their ability to use their own bones as weapons in battle. Not only do they refuse to be without a weapon and backed into a corner, but the Kaguya bone weapons are versatile and may vary in terms of durability, might and ease of attack. As the body of the Kaguya becomes stronger, so too do their immortal bones. Any bone that is removed from the body immediately regenerates. The limb may have a delay before it is useful again, but a Kaguya battlemaster does not give their prey time to realize that.
Effect: The user may activate this skill as a Setup Phase action to begin to create a 'Bone Weapon'. A 'Bone Weapon' is a Medium Weapon with a level equal to x + (0.5xy) , rounded up. The value of x is equal to the user's level. The value of y is equal to the amount of Setup Phase actions spent creating this weapon, including the turn it was activated. Setup Phase actions used creating a 'Bone Weapon' do not need to be sequential, and may never exceed 5. As a free action in their Main Phase, the user may 'release' the 'Bone Weapon', ending its creation and equipping it. Upon 'releasing' the weapon, the user may spend levels according to the 'Level Economy' chart below to give the weapon additional effects. This weapon lasts until it is destroyed, until the end of battle, or if the bloodline is deactivated.
Requirement: Alien Physiology
Cost: -4

Blade Wrecker
Description: The weapons harvested out of their own bodies can be made stronger than any crafted steel. The bones of a Kaguya have been known to shatter swords and cleave chakra infused blades alike. This ability is what earned Shikotsumyaku the renown as one of the greatest taijutsu abilities.
Effect: Once per battle per rank in this skill the user may add the status effect 'Destroy Weapon' to a strike of an attack made with a 'Bone Crafted' weapon.
Cost: -1 per rank [-3]
Requirement: Alien Physiology

Ranks: 3 / 3
Max Ranks: 3

Level Economy
Rules: Level Economy allows a player to spend levels of their weapon upon 'release' to give the weapon additional effects. 'Bone Weapons' still follow the limitations of normal weapons, meaning they may not exceed level 100 or go below level 1. Keep this in mind when spending your Level Economy.
- 20 levels: The user may apply one rank of 'Sharpened Edge' or 'Lightened Craft' to their weapon.
- 20 levels: The user may apply one rank of 'Parry' or 'Defend' to their bone weapons.
- 30 levels: The user gains +5% to critical hit with this weapon. This may be purchased 6 times.
- 30 levels: The user gains +50 Accuracy when making attacks with this weapon. This bonus may not bring the user's accuracy to exceed 1.5x their base accuracy. This is not considered into the stat bonus equipment cap. This may be purchased multiple times.
- 40 Levels: The user may apply 'Affliction [Staggered]' to their weapon.
- 40 levels: The user's weapon is considered to be a Large weapon.

Effect: The user of this technique may select 1 piece of armor equipped to the target of this technique when this technique is used. That armor is afflicted with the status effect ‘Destroy Item’.
Description: A toad-style attack, Toad Great Impact is a strongly offensive taijutsu that makes use of their powerful legs and heavy builds. By fearlessly rushing toward their opponent an offensively inclined toad is able to deal heavy damage by slamming their body into their foe’s. The strength of this attack is so great that it is often able to shatter armor, leaving the opponent defenseless against subsequent attacks.

Kazuto hopped from the head of his toad companion just as it began its rapid ascent into the sky. As the boy fell he crossed his fingers in front of his chest, making the seal that would activate his signature jutsu.

It wasn't a single Kazuto that hit the ground in front of the incapacitated Kaguya, but four. Each one wore a confident smirk. "That's a lot of big talk for a guy that can't move... and such language too." He didn't sound happy with this mist nin, and as he spoke the confident smile was wiped from his face and replaced with a much more menacing look.

With another handseal, Kazuto crafted a simple illusion. The Kaguya clan were historically known as brutal, unthinking berserkers, and he had a fairly good idea that even a simple genjutsu would serve as a distraction. If successful it would appear to Kaneki as if golden chains had erupted up from the ground to bind his legs tightly and prevent him from moving easily.

-- [Setup Phase]

Activating:

• Preparation!
Effect: A character with this skill may perform any non-offensive technique during the Setup Phase that this skill is activated. Techniques performed through the activation of this skill have a 10% chance to fail. After use of this skill no techniques may be performed in the Setup Phase for 4 consecutive turns. This skill may be activated 1 time per battle.
Description: The wisest shinobi know that battles are won and lost through tactics and not toughness. Where some brash ninja charge headlong into combat, these clever warriors know that pausing and taking a moment to prepare can mean the difference between living and dying. After all, preparation is the key to success.
Cost: -2 (Success!)

Performing:

• Fūton; Kage Bunshin No Jutsu | Wind Release; Shadow Clone Technique | 風遁・影分身の術
Type: Ninjutsu [Wind]
Rank: Jōnin
Cost: 400 Chakra
Effect: When performing this technique 'x' is equivalent to the number of 'Shadow Clones' created by this technique. 'Shadow Clones' have 50 Health and 60-10x% of the user's other statistics. The value of 'x' is chosen by the user when this technique is performed, and may be no greater than 3. During the Setup Phase, as a Free Action, the user of this technique may choose to destroy a 'Shadow Clone' created by this technique to increase the fail chance of any Response Phase techniques used in response to a chosen attack by +15%. If a 'Shadow Clone' created by this technique is destroyed by an attack, the user of that attack has a 75% chance of being afflicted with 1 turn of the status effect 'Clobbered'.
Description: Despite being an extremely powerful jutsu, the Shadow Clone Technique is basic in its function. When created by the Second Hokage, the original Kage Bunshin's ability to be molded with chakra natures of the user was never explored. Over the generations following, that legacy was left to other ninja, each with their own chakra natures. The Fūton; Kage Bunshin is one of those natural enhancements to the original jutsu. By molding their clones using wind-natured chakra, a user is capable of creating shadow clones made of a whirling tempest wrapped in a thin skin. When destroyed, these clones release a torrent of winds that carry the usual smoke of a destroyed clone and create a momentary smokescreen that distract foes. These gusts of wind are strong enough to knock grown men through solid walls.
Requirements: Kage Bunshin No Jutsu, Elemental Specialty; Wind
Points: 9 [Wind Specialty; 8]

Skill Trigger:

• Shadow Clone Replication; Rank II
Effect: Once per stat-battle, when a character with this skill uses a technique that creates ‘Shadow Clones’, that character gains 1 additional ‘Shadow Clone’ for free per rank in this skill. ‘Shadow Clones’ created by this skill are identical to the clones produced by the technique used to trigger this skill.
Description: Shadow clones were created by the Second Hokage, and since their invention, they have been used by ninja all over the world. They are widely considered one of the most versatile types of clone. Some ninja even go so far as to specialize in their usage. With practice, these ninja become capable of creating more clones with the same amount of chakra as the typical clone user.
Ranks: 2
Cost: -2

Users: Uzumaki Kazuto
Effect: Creating 1 Shadow Clone with 50% of the user's total stats (+2 additional Shadow Clones from Shadow Clone Replication)
Cost: 400 Stamina

-- [Main Phase]

Performing:

• Genjutsu; Sai | Illusion Technique; Restraint | 幻術・塞
Type: Genjutsu [General]
Rank: Chūnin
Cost: 90 Chakra
Effect: The target of this technique is afflicted with 2 turns of the status effect ‘Shackled; Paired Legs’. This technique’s chance ‘To-Hit’ is considered 0% against targets that are under the status effect ‘Blind’.
Description: A simple but effective illusion that many shinobi use to supplement their arsenal. The forcing an enemy to believe their legs have been bound tightly. The efficient chakra cost makes this technique a dependable choice when fighting multiple foes so that one may be restrained while the other is dealt with.
Points: 3

Users: Uzumaki Kazuto

Target: Kaguya Kaneki
Accuracy: 60% + 40% = 100%
Effect: Shackled; Paired Legs (2 turns)

"You really are a cocky little shit arent you."

Kaneki said as he clutched his gauntlets together, ignoring them shaking a little as he used all of his strength to keep the toads massive blade away from his chest, he underestimated the velocity behind the blade and because of it allowed the red lizard like creature to chop off the shoulder straps on the right side of his vest, leaving it hanging down at an awkward angle, it definitely seemed like it was damaged beyond repair. Kaneki wasnt exactly thrilled over this, in fact quite the opposite, he was very pissed, he had just gotten it repaired two days ago.

And then a strange feeling crept into his body, it was like someone had glued his feet to the floor, he tried moving his left or right legs and wasnt able to move from the position he was in, an illusion perhaps? He did have control over his upper body though, as he turned from side to side, he didnt need his arms for the next move he had planned, not many people were able to use techniques without hand seals, so he doubted very much the uzumaki would see this attack coming, waiting for the right moment to strike with his reinforced chakra string he wound it around his target and quickly gave it a yank, all the while his body showing no outward signs of him even doing anything, a web of bones grew around him as he fortified himself with a shield made of several layers of jagged bones.

Rank: Jōnin

Cost: 40x Stamina and 10x Chakra

Shield Health: 100x

Effect: This technique creates a Shield and may be used in either the Main or Response Phases. X in the cost of this technique may never exceed 7. This technique may only be used twice per battle in each respective Phase. When utilized in the Response Phase, this technique has a 5% chance to fail and does not prevent Dodge Rolling but must be mentioned in the roll being made. The user of this technique may opt to suspend the effect(but not the upkeep) of Shikotsumyaku: Kenkousonomono during a turn in which this technique is active; the Shield generated through this technique will regain durability equal to 66%(rounded up) of the Health that this character would have normally regenerated. This shield lasts for three (3) turns when used in the Main Phase.

Description: The Dance of the Cypress is one of the least dance-like maneuvers in a Kaguya’s arsenal. The user will utilize their kekkei genkai to produce a subdermal layer of durable bone over a variable amount of their musculature, greatly increasing their durability. However, the process of forming such fine structures is not painless and results in many uneven twitches across the user’s body, resulting in its classification as a “dance”. Given the subdermal nature of this technique’s structures, the Kaguya’s regenerative qualities may occasionally repair damage sustained to the bone shielding.

Seal-less Jutsu
Description: A dangerous yet powerful sealing method in which the ninja has the deep knowledge and ability to shape chakra imprinted into the base of their skull. The ninja is given a small seal on their occipital lobe, often beneath the hair where it is not visible. With the seal the ninja is able to shape chakra without the need of hand seals, having such intrinsic knowledge of all possible seals at the forefront of their mind. Many ninja that have gone through the operation to obtain this seal claim that closing their eyes briefly helps them see the seals and preform them. This is, however, unnecessary. Due to the location and nature of this seal, it often results in dangerous side effects that many opt to not risk.
Effect: All Ninjutsu and Genjutsu preformed by this character are considered to be Seal-less and never require the use of the hands. When a character takes this skill they lose 1000 EXP. EXP lost this way does not cause the character to lose levels. [Taken at 31981 exp to recuce to 30981 exp.]
