ANATOMY, frozen memories, shrouds of mist, encircling, covering, like death’s robes, embracing. eyes reminiscent of dying starlight peer through. they recall faint glimpses of a stare that is calm and cold behind it all. an inquisitive look, yet a look that is more than a look, with starlight eyes that could behold all of infinity. time falls; it motions closer—through the mist it drifts. a fairy? an elf? some fair creature forgotten in tale? whatever it is, it looms now like a white hawk, slender and hollow and lofty and elegant—sharp, narrow, svelte and sylphlike. its skin is colorless like the mist, just like mist, and matching hair of dense softness is there with it. a voice, now? cold and soft like the mist, too, like whispering mist and a hymn of silence. atmospheres flutter as it draws ever nearer, like spells cast from another world. hovering in eternity, shot through with void. before something else draws its eye i can feel its thought leave me, its mystifying devotion a steel riven glacier, deathless and awake. its lithe figure becomes a blur in the mist, becomes the mist, and i can witness a pure flexibility, a figure devoid of any excess, formed to flicker with the wind, to move like a forgotten question, swift and light-weight. grace itself can synopse its anatomy. and then it's gone before time can fall once more. in cataclysm. earth folding in on itself. frozen memories melt through hands of ice dry bone.

HYŪGA, known for their unique kekkai genkai, the ‘byakugan’, members of the hyūga clan are capable of, among a variety of other things, viewing the inner chakra circulatory system in other beings, and viewing their surroundings with a near 360° field of vision. the hyūga are additionally renowned for their jūken fighting style, also known as the "gentle fist", which utilizes the byakugan.

SPOILER: Click to show

{960 EXP}

• Soul Crushing Fist: Through proper refinement, the Hyuuga Clan member may now expend a "Miniscule" amount of chakra to cover their appendage in chakra in order to deal moderate internal damage to a victim. This includes cramping up specific muscles, which can, in some cases, severely limit a person's mobility. Does not apply to weapons styles or any type of weapon. Does not stack with other masteries or supplementary techniques.
• Blessing of the Byakugan - Enhanced Reflexes: The Byakugan is a very beneficial doujutsu, and in the hands of a trained expert, can grant passive positive effects. Having mastered their Byakugan, the Hyuuga clan member learns to better incorporate their predictions with actual movements. Synchronizing their evolved sight with more concise and specific movements, the Hyuuga clan member achieves a higher state of natural movement - +1 to Reflexes - as long as their Byakugan is active.
• Blessing of the Byakugan - Enhanced Combat: The Byakugan is a very beneficial doujutsu, and in the hands of a trained expert, can grant passive positive effects. Having mastered their Byakugan, the Hyuuga clan member learns to better incorporate their predictions with actual movements. Synchronizing their evolved sight with their own combat skills, the Hyuuga clan member achieves a higher state of natural combat prowess when in close-quarters, where the all-seeing nature of the Byakugan aids in saving movement and placing better preemptive attacks - +1 to CQC - as long as the Byakugan is active.

Byakugan (All Seeing White Eye)
Rank: C
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m), Far (10m+)
Type: Supplementary / Doujutsu
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: Low [basic per turn] | Mid [enhanced per turn]

As its name implies, the Byakugan is just that, a featureless white eye that can occasionally possess hints of blue-gray and lavender, respectively. When the Byakugan is activated, the user's pupils become more distinct, and the veins near their temples bulge, representing the sudden chakra activation that makes the doujutsu possible. All members of the clan possess and can use the kekkei genkai from birth, as opposed to needing to awaken it. Byakugan gives the user a near 360 degree field of vision, except for one blind spot at the back of the neck above the third thoracic vertebra. With this vision, the Hyuuga can see through solid objects, and can use a degree of telescopic sight up to a maximum standard distance of fifty meters. However, by holding a single seal (tiger), the user may enter a "focused" state and increase their range up to a maximum of five kilometers; they must remain still during this enhanced sight, and due to their attention (and sight) being well beyond their immediate surroundings, are quite vulnerable to assaults. Finally, one of the greatest uses of the Byakugan is the ability to see chakra, chakra flow as well as the chakra circulation system inside the body with great detail. It is from this particular ability that they are able to employ their ultimate attack style - the Gentle Fist.

Note: Because of the eyes ability to see all things chakra related, the user can detect chakra sealed barriers as well as determine when genjutsu is being used but cannot pierce them. It can also discern a transformation as well all types of clones (spare for Shadow Clones, as the chakra is evenly distributed).

Jyuuken (Gentle Fist)
Rank: D - S; (A)
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: --

The clan member can use their fingers or palms to emit chakra to flow into their opponents body's at these precise points. When the hand draws close enough to strike, the clan member can stop or increase their opponents chakra flow. The internal chakra coils which spread throughout the body also wrap around the internal chakra producing organs. So if the internal coils are attacked, it also damages these internal organs. Because a ninja cannot train their internal body, such damage can be a critical hit for even a highly skilled ninja.

Note: This is the base technique for all subsequent Hyuuga Juuken techniques. Though it does not stack in terms of cost, this technique determines the rank of Jyuuken jutsu the Hyuuga can learn and perform.

Hakke Sanjuunishou (Eight Trigrams Thirty-Two Palms)
Rank: C
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: Mid

Once the Hyuuga is comfortable envisioning their Hakke domain and establishing it as their own personal striking grounds, they are taught the art of striking and sealing tenketsu. Moving their hands and arms and bullet like speeds, the Hyuuga extends their palm towards their enemy, and leads with both hands outstretched, so that their fingers land first - 2 strikes, then 4, 8, 16, and finally, 32 tenketsu. As the victim is caught in attack, they are temporarily paralyzed if they are touched even once. Although the result isn't as drastic as 64 or 128 strikes, it can nonetheless close off a specific type of chakra flow within the victim of the Hyuuga's choosing.

Note: This technique effectively shuts out one of the victims elemental affinities. It should be noted that these strikes are carried out incredibly fast. Chances are, if you’re hit by the first two, the subsequent thirty will also land. In most cases, this will be considered to be automatically true. However, we are aware that there are some situations where this simply may not be possible (the chances of it happening is very rare).

In that situation, a moderator will come in to judge the situation accordingly. Presuming the technique does not finish, but the target was hit enough times for the damage to be substantial, they victim will be limited to 'B' ranked jutsu and below for the remaining duration of the thread.

Hakke Kuushou (Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm)
Rank: C
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m, Mid (5m ~ 10m)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: Low
Once the Hyuuga understands the art of summoning energy all at once into a single, fine strike, they are able to execute with the same precision, but from a distance. Extending chakra from their body, the Hyuuga will thrust their palm at the target, sending out a vicious wave of wind that can knock the opponent back a great distance (up to three meters). The sphere of wind is roughly the size of a bowling ball, yet carriers a tremendous amount of force.

Hakke Harichakra (Eight Trigrams Chakra Needle)
Rank: C
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: Mid: Low sustain, Mid (optional)
Utilizing the precision and concentration required by the Gentle Fist fighting style, the Hyūga practitioner first focuses chakra along the tenketsu lining their fingers. Afterwards, manipulating this latent chakra, the Hyūga will form ten separate needles, which may then be extended from the user's fingertips up to a maximum of 6 inches in length. Subsequent to this process, for an additional mid cost of chakra, these needles can be shot forth from the Hyūga's fingertips, moving at high speeds due to their weightlessness.

Note: While possessing the piercing capabilities of your average bladed weapon, these needles have proven especially effective when used in conjunction with Hakke Sanjuunishou (Eight Trigrams Thirty-Two Palms). Due to the immense concentration required, however, the higher ranked tenketsu striking techniques are incapable of being used alongside this jutsu.

Juuho Soushiken (Gentle Step Twin Lion Fist)
Rank: C
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: Mid
Of the few non-main Gentle Fist techniques, Juuho Soushiken is nonetheless an attack to be feared. After gathering chakra into their fists, the Hyuuga will skillfully spin and rush towards their target in order strike them. Spectral heads of pure chakra will then form around their fists, forming two large lion-shaped shrouds that can be used to attacks the opponent. Because of their nature, they can move past solid defenses and attack the opponent internally. Best of all, because of the chakra's nature, any contact the claws have with the victim's chakra network results in the target being stunned (for one post).

Hakke Hasangeki (Eight Trigrams Mountain Crusher)
Rank: B
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: High

Hakke Hasangeki is a variation and an advanced form of Hakke Kuushou. By first placing their palm against the target, the user will unleash a destructive wave of chakra into and through their target. This chakra will "explode" forth resulting in a concussive blast. The result is a stronger Hakke Kuushou that is capable of throwing them back five meters.

Note: It should be noted that the user must touch the victim with the hand used to unleash this technique prior to letting the blast loose to achieve the full effect. Otherwise, this will simply function as a slightly stronger Vacuum Palm albeit shorter range.

Hakke Kuuhekishou (Eight Trigrams Vacuum Wall Palm)
Rank: B
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m), Far (10m+)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: Mid when shared: High solo

A tandem jutsu, Hakke Kuuhekishou involves two Hyuuga using Hakke Kuushou simultaneously, back to back, to dramatically increase its power. Not only does the technique's range increase, but its overall size (this technique is capable of affecting up to five targets that are within three feet of each other). This technique can be performed solo, however, without sharing the cost with a companion. This, however, requires that the user execute the technique with both hands and fully supplement the chakra themselves.

Hakke Kuunami (Eight Trigrams Vacuum Wave)
Rank: B
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: High
Integrating the principles of the traditional vacuum palm technique, the Hyūga is capable of using the same concussive blast of chakra in a slightly different manner. Rather than shooting chakra from the tenketsu lining their palm, the practitioner instead shoots this concussive blast from the tenketsu lining their outer arm. This often takes the form of a slashing motion, and can even be used with a sword in hand. Due to the different method of propulsion, this chakra takes the form of a concentrated, concussive wave, stretching 2 meters in length, 6 inches in width, and 6 inches in height. The wave possesses enough force to throw a shinobi up to five meters into the distance, while heavily bruising the area connected with.

Hakke Rokujuuyonshou (Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms)
Rank: B
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: High

The second level of Hakke strikes involves doubling the previous 32, although with a few notable differences - Hakke Rokujuuyonshou is a special technique passed down through the main family line only. When an opponent is within the clan members divination field of attack, they can quickly begin their assault. Like with the previous 32, they can force their chakra through their hands into the tenketsu of the opponent's body. First the clan member will strike 2 times, then 4, 8, 16, 32 and finally 64. This damage forcibly closes 64 tenketsu, stopping the chakra flow of the opponent, thus limiting their opponent's ability to use jutsu much greater than ever.

Note: This technique effectively seals away two of the victim’s elements (they can decide which). It should be noted that these strikes are carried out incredibly fast. Chances are, if you’re hit by the first two, the subsequent sixty-two will also land. In most cases, this will be considered to be automatically true. However, we are aware that there are some situations where this simply may not be possible (the chances of it happening is very rare).

In that situation, a moderator will come in to judge the situation accordingly. Presuming the technique does not finish, but the target was hit enough times for the damage to be substantial, they victim will be limited to 'C' ranked jutsu and below for the remaining duration of the thread.

Hakkeshou Kaiten (Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven)
Rank: B
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Defensive
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: High [cast] | Mid [sustain]

Like many of the Jyuuken techniques, Kaiten is a special technique passed down through the main family line. Kaiten takes advantage of several of the unique abilities of the Byakugan eye, including an almost complete 360 degree view of their surroundings, so that the member to see all angles around them. As such, if an attack is near, the clan member will release a large of amount of chakra from their tenketsu and, simultaneous to the release, begins to spin like a top, creating a whirling vortex that can nullify almost any attack.

Note: During this technique a Hyuuga produces enough gale-force and chakra to completely resist any attack 'B' rank or below. Successive attacks of 'B' rank (three or more) will break the Hyuuga's stance, resulting in the ending of the technique and anything above its rank will break through. While spinning, the Hyuuga’s vision is severely hampered and blurred (much like a normal person’s), limiting their awareness of what is transpiring outside of the sphere. It should be noted it takes a moment for the Hyuuga to spin-down.

Hakke Engomatsu (Eight Trigrams Heavenly Guard)
Rank: B
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Defensive
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: Mid
Hakke Engomatsu is a Gentle Fist technique utilizing the Hyūga's supreme command over any of the 361 tenketsu constituting their chakra network, and their near-360 degree field of vision. Observing an incoming attack from any direction in their vicinity, the Hyūga will emanate a thin, visible concentration of chakra from the tenketsu located at the attack's target. The chakra may form in any two-dimensional shape the user wishes, though may span no longer than 1 foot in length or width. Projecting up to a foot from the area of emanation, Hakke Engomatsu is capable of blocking most standard physical strikes, as well as taijutsu up to B-rank.

Note: This technique is not instantaneous, and thus requires sufficient awareness of the incoming attack beforehand in order to be utilized effectively.

Hakke Hyakunijuuhachishou (Eight Trigrams One Hundred Twenty-Eight Palms)
Rank: A
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: Massive

The final level of Hakke strikes involves doubling the previous 64, and like its younger brother, remains passed down only through the main family line. When an opponent is within the clan members divination field of attack, they can quickly begin their assault. As the amount of strikes is double from before once more, the Hyuuga ends up striking 254 accumulated times against their individual foe or opponents. First the clan member will strike 2 times, then 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 and finally 128 times, leaving their victim paralyzed and without chakra.

Note: This technique effectively seals all of the victims chakra natures, including the raw chakra necessary to utilize kekkei genkai. It should be noted that these strikes are carried out incredibly fast. Chances are, if you’re hit by the first two, the subsequent one hundred, twenty-six will also land. In most cases, this will be considered to be automatically true. However, we are aware that there are some situations where this simply may not be possible (the chances of it happening is very rare).

In that situation, a moderator will come in to judge the situation accordingly. Presuming the technique does not finish, but the target was hit enough times for the damage to be substantial, they victim will be limited to 'D' ranked jutsu and below for the remaining duration of the thread.

Juukenpou Ichigekishin (Gentle Fist Art Ultimate Body Blow)
Rank: A
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Defensive
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: High

Using their ability to expel chakra from every chakra point on their body, a member of the Hyuuga clan can hit their opponent with a blast of chakra that will send them flying away from the user in the form of a single hand tap, or even when the enemy attempts to touch the Hyuuga or trap them. It is also useful when the Hyuuga has been bound by an enemy; targeting weak points in the prison that they see with their Byakugan with their sudden chakra rush in order to dispel it. This technique was made legendary when its creator employed it to save themselves from sudden crystallization at the hands of a Shoton master.

KENJUTSU, the most foundational of all swordstyles is usually considered to be kenjutsu (sword arts). kenjutsu itself is broken down into two arts: battōjutsu and iaijutsu. the first, battōjutsu, is a style that focuses almost completely on offense, sacrificing many defensive qualities just for the offensive. its antithesis, iaijutsu, is a style that focuses primarily on defense through evasion, parry, riposte.

{465 EXP}

BATTŌJUTSU

Dorokendageki (Draw and Strike)
Rank: D
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: --
Chakra Consumption: Low

With their weapon sheathed, the user focuses their sense to the utmost and then draws and slices within one quick and precise movement. While basic in nature, this techniques forte lies in its accuracy; allowing the user to strike with such precision they could target an arrowhead flying toward them.

Note: Weapon must be sheathed to utilize. User has perfect accuracy for this strike.

Kidō Henkō (Trajectory Change)
Rank: D
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: --
Chakra Consumption: Low

A Kenjutsu practitioner will hold their weapon with both hands and strike at a target; watching for the moment they try to block the strike. At the last moment, the user will switch the positions of their left and right hand on their weapon and quickly alter the course of their blade.

Note: Can only be used once per strike. Angle change cannot be lower than 90 degrees.

IAIJUTSU

Saya ni Osamemasu (Sheathe)
Rank: D
Range: --
Type: Supplementary
Handseals: --
Chakra Consumption: --

A most basic and yet vital maneuver for an Iaijutsu user is the ability to sheathe their weapon to prepare for future techniques. This skill is a basic function of mastery Kenjutsu practitioners have obtained after unsheathing and sheathing their weapons on a daily basis. While seen as a dangerous and foolish move to do in the midst of battle, practitioners have learned to sheathe their weapon will insane levels of speed no matter their stance.

Note: Allows the user to near instantaneously sheathe their weapon no matter their condition.

Kawasu (To Parry)
Rank: D
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Defensive
Handseals: --
Chakra Consumption: Low per 3 parries

The most basic but far from useless technique within the Iaijutsu arsenal. Starting with their weapon sheathed, the user will quickly draw their blade to parry incoming attacks before instantly sheathing their weapon in preparation of their next maneuver.

Note: A maximum of three techniques can be parried per use at an incredibly fast, almost "simultaneous" rate. It should be noted that these parries must be plausible, and simply because a user can defend relatively quick does not mean they are immune to being struck.

Sorashimaru (Deflect)
Rank: C
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Defensive
Handseals: --
Chakra Consumption: Mid per 15 projectiles

With their weapon sheathed, the practitioner will unsheathe their blade and quickly strike down incoming projectiles, either slicing them or redirecting their path. Useful when faced with opponents that prefer to strike from a distance, as long as the user is able to spot the incoming threat in time.

Note: Up to 15 projectiles can be parried per use

Iaijutsu (Art of the Aware and Prepared)
Rank: B
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Supplementary
Handseals: --
Chakra Consumption: --

While Iaijutsu is mostly known for its shocking speed and form when sheathing and unsheathing their weapon, its roots lie in its defensive nature. Its name serving to teach practitioners that it is those who are aware of their surroundings and prepared for anything that move to be invincible warriors. As is similar to the origin of Iaijutsu where its use lay in helping the practitioner defend themselves when caught by surprise. Due to this nature, when the Iaijutsu practitioner has their weapon sheathed, they instinctively heighten their focus and senses to prepare for any surprise attacks.

Note: Only works when the weapon is sheathed; will not work with the weapon drawn. Iaijutsu practitioners gain a "Sixth Sense" equal in range to their arm length and weapon. Anything that enters this range is immediately sensed allowing for the practitioner to properly defend should they have the capability to do so.

Mukō-ka (Nullification)
Rank: B
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Defensive
Handseals: --
Chakra Consumption: Equal to attack parried

Considered to be the "true" form of Kawasu, the user will start with their weapon sheathed and then draw with high speed to parry an incoming attack. The difference between this technique and Kawasu however is that an equal amount of chakra is applied to the incoming attack; completely nullifying its strength and putting both attacks on even ground.

Note: Can only be used once per turn. Chakra reduction masteries do not work with this technique.

Shoushitsuten (Vanishing Point)
Rank: A
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Defensive
Handseals: --
Chakra Consumption: High

A high speed maneuver unique to the Iaijutsu practitioner that starts off by gathering chakra to the soles of the feet. Once executed, the user will move at high speeds across the ground as if sliding across it without any form of preparatory movement or physical inclination or any physical movement. The sudden shift in position is what gave this technique its name due to the user seemingly vanishing from view.

Note: This technique can only be used once every 2 turns and has a max range of 5 meters. The users speed is not on the level of Shunshin but fast enough to make tracking the movement with a Dojutsu difficult.

Hitosashi Tenrai (Dance of the Wind)
Rank: A
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m)
Type: Defensive
Handseals: --
Chakra Consumption: Equal to technique opposed

When faced with an attack of an epic nature or Ninjutsu based, the Iaijutsu user has developed a skill allowing them to neutralize such attacks. Starting from a position with their weapon sheathed, the user will draw their blade with the utmost limit of their speed aimed at the direction of the incoming attack. The speed from such a draw creates a shock wave in the form of a crescent that is sent forth at the attack; cleaving it in half and sending both parts flying away from the Iaijutsu practitioner.

Note: The cutting shock wave is 10 meters in length. This technique can be used on any form of Ninjutsu and Taijutsu but is ineffective against Genjutsu.

KENDŌ,  fencing or otherwise known as the gentleman's art is the use of a rapier, foil, saber or epee in tactical combat. a game for nobles and royalty usually, it's very seldom found it's way to the lower societies however. an incredibly complicated art, consisting mostly of feints, counters, precision strikes and piercing maneuvers, the patience and focus necessary tends to allude most.

{10 EXP}Cunning Mind
Rank: D
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Passive
Handseals: --
Chakra Consumption: Miniscule per post
This technique allows a Fencer master to purge all of their experience into a surreal body movement. This movement allows them to analyze their opponents completely within the users range by studying others and the user tensing their bodies for sudden movements.

Notes: This is fully dependent on role-play movement but just gives the ability to perceive attacks, but not predict. Simply put, this is nothing more than a greater clarity during battle than most shinobi; it will simply offer the user a marginal edge, dependent on the execution of the role-play in question.

UNIVERSAL, taijutsu is a basic form of technique that typically does not require chakra, though chakra may be used to enhance its techniques. taijutsu generally requires no hand seals to perform, occasionally makes use of certain stances or poses, and is much quicker to use than ninjutsu or genjutsu. universal taijutsu is simply put: chakra-augmented, non-specialized hand-to-hand combat.

{50 EXP}Shougekishou (Demolishing Rising Palm Thrust)
Rank: B
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: Mid per empowered strike
By consciously feeding their chakra into their palms, the user will quickly rush forward, driving the charged appendage forward and into their opponent. The result is devastating, with all the accumulated power of the palm being unloaded onto the user's victim. Finally, with all the chakra released, the opponent's body is knocked back several feet, left to rag-doll and wither.

Note: This ability can knock a single target back up to two meters.

{90 EXP}Shunshin no Jutsu (Body Flicker Technique)
Rank: D
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m)
Type: Supplementary
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: Miniscule

Shunshin no Jutsu is a basic Ninjutsu technique used across the shinobi world by all, ranging from the most basic shinobi to the legends of lore. Considered a high-speed movement technique - to an observer caught in the optical illusion, it appears as if the user has teleported. This allows the user to escape or attack suddenly, should they need to. However, while a high-speed movement, if used in broad daylight, one will still be quite visible and as such, easier to be defended against. In order to achieve maximum effect, the user must combine it with a distraction.

Note: Despite popular belief, this is not an ability that allows an individual to teleport, or even move incomprehensibly fast. It simply combines high mobility with some disruption of visibility to conceal those movements. That in mind, if you can conceal your movement, it is common for this technique to allow very long-distance dashes before enemies may notice you.

{0 EXP}Kawarimi no Jutsu (Body Replacement Technique)
Rank: E
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Supplementary
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: Miniscule

Kawarimi no Jutsu is an Academy Ninjutsu technique. When in danger the user will quickly substitute themselves with another nearby object - generally a block of wood, or other similar object - the moment an attack lands. This creates an optical illusion, making the enemy think the attack was successful. From this, the user can use the lapse in the enemy's attention to attack or flee from the battlefield. Explosvie tags can be attached to the placement for an added surprise!

Note: Switch is near-instantaneous. This technique can only be used once per turn. Item switched with must be somewhat mentioned prior to use, in previous turns (most likely during area descriptions). While one can switch with a variety of things it needs to be within reason, switching with a chair, log, fallen tree is acceptable, but switching with a dust particle is obviously not.

Henge no Jutsu (Transformation Technique)
Rank: E
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Supplementary
Handseals: 3
Chakra: Miniscule: Miniscule [cast + sustain]

Henge no Jutsu is an Academy Ninjutsu technique. After performing a set of handseals, the user takes on the form of another object, whether it be an animal, plant, or inanimate object.

Note: The user must transform themselves into an object of similar proportions and mass is conserved. This means that one cannot Henge into a Bijuu, summon, or other gigantic object. It should also be noted that while you can transform into a rock, you will not have it's hardness and while you can turn into a bird you will not necessarily understand how to fly.

Bunshin no Jutsu (Clone Technique)
Rank: E
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Supplementary
Handseals: 3
Chakra: Miniscule [per clone]

Bunshin no Jutsu is an Academy Ninjutsu technique. After performing a set of handseals, the user creates an intangible copy of themselves. This clone has no substance, so it is not able to attack, and thus can only be used to confuse the enemy. It is mainly used in combination with other Ninjutsu. These clones can be easily distinguished by opponents with Doujutsu, but even opponents with normals eyes can tell tell it apart from the original if they are observant, as the clone does not have a shadow and will not disrupt the area around them with their movement. As soon as this clone comes in contact with an opponent or gets attacked, it will disperse.

Note: The clone's movement speed is equal to the user's. Bunshin cannot mold Chakra to perform jutsu, nor can they physically harm an opponent.

Kakuremino no Jutsu (Cloak of Invisibility Technique)

Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Supplementary
Handseals: -

Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Supplementary
Handseals: -
Chakra: Miniscule [cast + sustain]

Suimen Hokou no Waza (Act of Water Surface Walking)
Rank: E
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Supplementary
Handseals: -
Chakra: Miniscule [cast + sustain]

After much practice, it is even possible to 'skate' across the water's surface instead of just walking or running.

Note: The user must know Kinobori no Waza in order to use this technique.
