The Chapter and Verse

Alignment:

Lawful Neutral

Lawful Neutral characters believe in order - both personal and systemic - above all else. They will always seek to obey and preserve order, even to the inconvenience of themselves and others, and even if they themselves admit the law in question is an annoying one. While a Lawful Good character may justify breaking his code of conduct by appealing to the greater good or a cosmic Justice that transcends all things, a Lawful Neutral character rarely will since the greater good does not enter into it. An important thing to note is that Lawful Neutral characters follow their own personal order and law. This order may be defined by the laws of their current location, or it might not: Lawful Neutral characters will not obey every law they ever encounter, only those that are part of or do not conflict with the code they themselves obey.

Personality:

Courage

Jubei down to his very core is a extremely brave individual. Some will call it being gutsy, Tony Montana might say he has balls, while a fraction will say it's almost reckless as he is willing to confront fears of all types and of all natures. And when a fellow friend or even a complete stranger is under duress, Jubei is there to sacrifice his fearlessness like a sturdy crutch in order to help assist the vulnerable to stand. Whether it's physical courage that deals with pain, hardship, death or the threat of it, or moral courage that deals with the sense to act justifiably in the face of conformity, shame, scandal, or discouragement. If it's one thing the young swordsman realizes is that courage is essential to consistency. No one ever became great through being cowardice and directionless.

Rectitude

Although it is a path that is difficult and a course hard to continually travel. Jubei daily tries to live as righteous as possible. And despite his shortcomings he follows his code hoping his ancestor are pleased with the lifestyle he maintains, now and in the future. The Akegarasu furthermore is not the type to pass judgement on the corrupt and immoral, because at the end of one's existence Jubei strongly feels in the afterlife there will be an arbiter of their fate.

Benevolence

Jubei is a soul who is brimming with benevolence toward others. No matter the man, whether they are the wealthiest or the poorest. Related or unrelated he feels a charitable act is a non-prejudice action. Charity is not something that should just be isolated for the unfortunate or weak because then that's just pity and Jubei feels indifferent when it comes to showing pity. He feels it makes a person weak and a society weak if action is only taken out of pity. Thus one should wield their benevolence wisely.

Respect

All those that interact with Jubei will always be treated with the utmost respect, albeit actions, gestures, and language, it could be friend or enemy. The Akegarasu is not the type to be rude without reason and only under strict conditions will he have a lack of respect or be abrasive toward another. His deference doesn't only stop at authority figures or the elderly. Jubei goes as far as showing a positive esteem to all nations and all religions. Additionally if respect is not given, and although it is a personal hardship, Jubei will still persist in giving respect. 

Honor

Jubei's version of honor is about having or earning the respect of others through your own reputation. And for him how you choose to exist it is a station of being worthy of honor. So therefore if you are worthy of respect, you can be worthy of honor. Jubei also is apart of the rare few who chooses to live by a credo of death before dishonor.

Loyalty

This is a attribute only second to honor that Jubei holds in high regard. The bushi considers loyalty a high priority not only because of his teachings that have been passed throughout the generations onto him but also in part of the lack of loyalty allocated in today's world. Plus he feels too many tie a surface definition to loyalty and therefore only really put out a surface quality of loyalty. Jubei's sense of loyalty contains the deep ideas of being faithful, devoted, true, and obedient. 

Filial piety

This basically means respect for one's parents and ancestors. Jubei can understand how so many in today's world surrounded by violence, death, broken homes, and chaos can lose sight of this simple concept. He on top of that comprehends that this also falls on the teachings one is bestowed to by a previous generation. The Akegarasu takes this code very serious and believes all his slain ancestors who have died in battle now resides within his blade. Jubei greatly has a respect for his parents and ancestors for it is them, who help him thrive and he feels it is them who guides him when in times of need.

Wisdom

Could the youth be considered wise beyond his years? Yes and no. Why? Because although intelligent and philosophical he hasn't lived a full life and experienced everything there is to indulge in. And not only does Jubei grasp that wisdom can specifically be considered knowledge, intellect, or reason, but also wisdom can additionally be acknowledged as an individual being open to interpretation.

Violent

In battle Jubei's intentions are to cause harm by any means, be it physical or mental. His method of combat is not for the faint of heart. When it comes down to it, the Akegarasu is a cold blooded killer who will take a life with no remorse. It doesn't matter who, ranging from enemies, friends turned enemies, and family if he absolutely must. The path he follows is not going to be nice to him, so why be nice to it.

Nindo; "Way of the Ninja": "The Way of the sword is found in death. Meditation on inevitable death should be performed daily. Every day, when one's body and mind are at peace, one should meditate upon being ripped apart by arrows, spears, and swords, being carried away by surging waves, being thrown into the midst of a great fire, being struck by lightning, being shaken to death by a great earthquake, falling from thousand-foot cliffs, dying of disease or committing seppuku at the death of one's master. And every day, without fail, one should consider himself as dead. This is the substance of the Way of the sword and of the Fujibayashi."

Chakra Reduction I

SPOILER: Click to show

Sanzengarasu no Jutsu (Scattering One Thousand Crows Technique)⁵⁰⁰
Rank: C^{x10 = 50 Crows}
Type: Supplementary / Secret Technique
Range: See special!
Chakra: Mid Low
Special: Crows can exist as far as the eye can see, or until the user leaves the thread, and take no additional chakra for upkeep. Up to 10 are summoned initially, with 10 more each time this jutsu is re-learned for a maximum of 100 crows. Crows move almost as fast as kunai, and maintain a mental chakra connection to the user for the sake of communication. 

Description: The base behind the Akegarasu is their control and use of crows in battle, displayed well with this technique. After forming a few simple seals, the crow king will call upon a murder of crows to fly around and envelop the target, causing confusion with their dark forms and quick movement. From here, either a comrade or the user can move within the flock wearing dark clothes and wielding a dark weapon almost undetected. With the target distracted by the crows, the ninja can strike more efficiently. Finally, the mass of crows can obscure any retreating ninja, as the crows are massive in numbers and composed of the user's chakra. When no longer needed, the murder of crows will simply puff away in smoke.
Domain: Akegarasu.

Karasu Tengu no Jutsu (Crow Vision Technique)²⁵
Rank: D 
Type: Supplementary / Secret Technique 
Range: See special.
Chakra: Low Very Low
Special: Bird seal must be held and eyes must be closed at all times in order for the vision to remain uninterrupted.

Description: Intended for surveillance in any form of situation, the crow king will perform a single handseal - bird - and call upon the mental connection of any available crows. Once the user's eyes are closed, they will be granted a clear, concise moving image of whatever it is that select crow is watching. Although not ideal for direct, confrontational conflict, a hidden enemy can use this to aid an attacking mate, or even if the user requires some form of tracking.
Domain: Akegarasu. Must know 'Sanzengarasu no Jutsu'.

Karasu Bunshin no Jutsu (Crow Clone Technique)¹⁰⁰
Rank: C^{x2 clones}
Type: Supplementary / Secret Technique
Range: See special!
Chakra: Mid Low
Special: Each clone requires 10 crows for creation. Clones, like the crows, can exist as far as the eye can see, or until the user leaves the thread, and take no additional chakra for upkeep. Clones move at crow speed, and can perform any Akegarasu jutsu the user knows. Clones disperse and reform after being defeated but require a Mid amount of chakra (regardless of Mastery) from the user to account for the reformation.

Description: Once a murder of crows has been summoned in the hands of an experienced Akegarasu, a variety of sub-creations can be made to make the user deadly in battle. In this case with a sufficient amount of crows, the user forms a single seal - bird! - and calls them together in order to form themselves. Unlike regular bunshin, the crow clone has substance, can move at the same speed as an individual crow, and best of all, scatters when struck for re-use. Although the clone is not spawned with the user's inventory, they will attain whatever non-special main weaponry the user has at the time, if any. When struck by concentrated blows from bladed/blunt weaponry or even a bare fist, crows disperse and revert back to crow form instantly for further use. However, widespread, area-of-effect attacks such as elemental ninjutsu (katon, raiton, etc.) defeat the crows instantly.
Domain: Akegarasu. Must know 'Sanzengarasu no Jutsu'.

Kurafutikarasu! (Crafty Crows!)¹⁰⁰
Rank: C^{20 projectiles}
Type: Supplementary / Secret Technique
Range: See Special!
Chakra: Mid Low
Special: Crows can operate as far as the eye can see, following the same restrictions as the 'Sanzengarasu no Jutsu'. Each crow used can only carry one projectile at a time. When first learned, user can only control 10 projectile-carrying crows at a time, plus 10 more each time retrained- for a grand limit of 50. 

Description: A cunning technique utilized by those that have connected with their crows at a deeper level, the Akegarasu will toss up to a total of ten small projectiles into the air. These projectiles can range from kunai to explosive tags. Once these items are airborne, the crows will snatch them from the air with either their beaks or talons. It is then that they are controlled via the mental connection they have with their master, to unleash potentially deadly aerial assaults with the projectiles provided. This can range from dropping kunai on unsuspecting enemies, to scattering explosive tags upon a desired location for further detonation. Crafty crows indeed!
Domain: Akegarasu. Must know 'Sanzengarasu no Jutsu'.

Amējingu utau karasu (The Amazing Singing Crows)⁵⁰
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary / Secret Technique
Range: See Special!
Chakra: Mid Low
Special: Range of sound covers a diameter of 10 meters with 10 crows, plus an additional 10 meters with 10 more. Cawing remains active until the user chooses to discontinue it, or until the crows have been killed. 

Description: Activated with a single call, the Akegarasu will inspire their summoned crows to caw in unison for an extended period of time, masking all inferior noise under their potentially infuriating racket. It is typically used when the user needs to move around without being heard, using the caws of their murder to mask their presence as far as basic auditory senses go. 
Domain: Akegarasu. Must know 'Sanzengarasu no Jutsu'.

Bochi no ōmen (Graveyard's Omen)⁵⁰
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary / Secret Technique
Range: See Special!
Chakra: Mid Low
Special: Crows are trained to detect fresh corpses relative to the user's mission, and can do so quite quickly. Crows can operate as far as the eye can see.

Description: Lore has tended to look down upon crows as bringers of death, omens of bad luck and messengers of ill intent. In reality, they are but scavengers of the dead- who in turn can be utilized as reliable trackers in the ninja world. With this technique, the user's summoned crows will henceforth gain the ability to track down and lead their master to dead bodies within range. Whether these bodies are underground, hidden in brush, or burned to ashes, the crows in question will use all of their senses- including their sixth- to locate the deceased corpse. They've been known to perch ominously on branches, gravestones, or any other stationary object near the carcass before cawing out to their master- part of the reason it is called, "Graveyard's Omen". 
Domain: Akegarasu. 

Akumei Takai Kurouītā (Infamous Crow Eater)⁵⁰
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary / Secret Technique
Range: Self
Chakra: Mid Low
Special: One crow per person when first learned, plus one each time retrained- for a maximum of five crows in a single stomach. Follows the same restrictions as the 'Nagai Kyori no Kurou'.

Description: Using either a small crow from the summoning family or a crow created through the Long Distance Crow technique, the user sends their winged companion into the mouth of another, or sometimes even themselves. Essentially living up to its name, the crow forces itself to be swallowed down until it reaches the pit known as the stomach. In there it will hide, still susceptible to the crow master's demands, until it is compelled to come out the same way it came in. This technique has been known to be used for various espionage missions, and even paired up beside genjutsu for maximum effect.
Domain: Akegarasu. Must know 'Nagai Kyori no Kurou'.

Sabējikurou no Kyōen (Savage Crow Feast)⁵⁰
Rank: C
Type: Offensive / Secret Technique
Range: Self
Chakra: Mid Low
Special: Follows the same restrictions as the 'Nagai Kyori no Kurou'.

Description: After the user has placed a designated crow of theirs within the stomach of another, or even themselves, the Akegarasu may decide that the target in question is no longer needed. Instead of simply forcing the crow out of the victim's mouth harmlessly, the user compels it to tear apart the poor sucker from the inside, ripping at intestines, lungs and other vital organs as it makes its way upwards- before finally tearing out of the throat with its bloodied beak and talons, leaving nothing but a disemboweled body behind.
Domain: Akegarasu. Must know 'Akumei Takai Kurouītā'.

Satsujin no Nami (Murder's Wave)⁵⁰
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary / Secret Technique
Range: See special!
Chakra: Mid Low
Special: Crows can operate as far as the eye can see, following the same restrictions as the 'Sanzengarasu no Jutsu'. Requires at least 10 crows summoned with the 'Sanzengarasu no Jutsu'. Number of crows used determines the number of targets capable of being carried off and the number of secondary weapons that can be swept away. By using the 'Kurafutikarasu' technique, secondary items that have been swept away can be held by the crows in question and used against the opponent following the restrictions of said technique. Crows sweep target's away at 5 meters a second, until said target escapes their grip or until the user is comfortable with the distance and-or result.
10 crows // 5 secondary weapons
20 crows // 10 secondary weapons // 1 person
30 crows // 20 secondary weapons // 2 people
40 crows // 30 secondary weapons // 3 people
50 crows // 40 secondary weapons // 4 people
+10 crows // +10 secondary weapons // +1 person

Description: Often used as a counter by Akegarasu, this effective technique utilizes the user's crows to fend off projectile-weaponry and even drag away targets who may be too close for the user's comfort. Through means of their mental connection with the master, the murder will flock towards and repel whatever it has been designated to counter. Using their beaks and talons, they will amass in unison to carry off projectile-weapons thrown or pull a person backwards. Though it has been used many times in the past as a means of fending off someone or using their projectiles against them, there have quite a few cases in which the Murder's Wave truly lived up to its name- by throwing people off a cliff, for example, or driving them into a wave of fire.
Domain: Akegarasu. Must know 'Sanzengarasu no Jutsu'.

Kurou Shuriken no Jutsu (Crow Shuriken Technique)⁵⁰
Rank: C
Type: Offensive / Secret Technique
Range: 20 meters
Chakra: Mid Low
Special: Requires crows summoned by the 'Sanzengarasu no Jutsu'. Fires one shuriken per crow used. Shuriken cast lose substance and disappear after two turns. Any of the user's crows within eyesight can be utilized for the technique.

Description: A basic yet effective Akegarasu technique, the user can utilize one or more of their own crows and transform them into deadly shuriken mid-flight. Solidified and sharpened to the point of surpassing even their original counterparts, these shuriken are powered by the user's burst of chakra, resulting in a deadly bombardment of black-starred projectiles, depending on the number of crows used.

Shunpo (Flashing Light Steps)¹⁰⁰
Rank: D^x4
Type: Supplementary / Taijutsu / High-Speed Movement
Range: 0 - 10 meters
Stamina: Low
Special: Shunpo is a high-speed movement in which the user travels in a linear fashion from one point to another. Usually facilitated with some sort of distraction (smoke bomb, explosion, or something of that nature to obscure one's vision), the user of the Shunpo can, in some cases, appear to have simply teleported from one location to another. The user can Shunpo once per thread, plus once more each time retrained. One cannot attack or perform techniques during Shunpo.

Description: Shunpo, a Taijutsu master's response to the Body Flicker Technique, relies solely on the user's ability to harness their inner ki and gain enough stamina to withstand the sudden strain imposed on one's legs. However, once properly trained, the Taijutsu Type will find their legs moving at speeds unknown to common man, to the point most would make the foolish mistake of assuming one is using Shunshin. However, unlike that chakra inspired run, Shunpo is pure stamina and movement skill, allowing for tighter, quicker, and more reactionary movements essential for someone that relies on movement. Although Shunpo itself moves in a single line, its many variations is what makes it so lethal.
Domain: Shunpo - Universal Taijutsu.

Kawarimi no Jutsu (Body Replacement Technique)
Rank: E
Type: Supplementary / Ninjutsu
Range: 0 - 5 meters
Handseals: No.
Chakra: Very Low
Special: Switch is near-instantaneous. Kawarimi can only be used once per thread, plus one more each time retrained. However, the technique itself can only be used once per turn, regardless of retraining. Requires the user to switch with objects equal or smaller in size; cannot switch with other living people or animals.

Description: This jutsu lets the user quickly switch places with another nearby object, such as a plant (normally a section of a log), an animal, the moment an attack hits. This creates an optical illusion, making the enemy think the attack was successful. The user can then use this confusion to escape or launch a counter-attack - i.e. exploding tags can be attached to the replacement for an added surprise.
Domain: Academy Ninjutsu.

Henge no Jutsu (Transformation Technique)

Type: Supplementary / Ninjutsu
Range: 0 - 5 meters

Bunshin no Jutsu (Clone Technique)
Rank: E
Type: Supplementary / Ninjutsu
Range: 0 - 5 meters
Handseals: Yes.
Chakra: Very Low
Special: Allows the user to create a clone without substance that resembles the user in every way, including retaining its movement speed. Clones cannot mold chakra nor perform jutsu, nor can they harm. Up to one clone can be made, plus one more each time retrained. 

Description: Bunshin no Jutsu is a Ninjutsu technique which every ninja learns at the Ninja Academy. The Bunshin technique creates a copy of the ninja without substance that, although easily seen through by those with doujutsu, can fool the normal eye easily. Why? Simply because although without substance, the copy resembles the ninja in every way. This clone can function as a distraction or as means to confuse one's opponent, though no real damage can be done by it. Finally, as soon the Bunshin gets attacked or comes into contact with an opponent, it will disperse.
