JIONGU (Earth Grudge Fear)

[☆ F ☆]

Jiongu, otherwise known as the 'Earth Grudge Fear' technique, is a secret Kinjutsu that transforms the user's body into something similar to that of a rag-doll's, which is held together by hundreds of thick black threads. These tendril masses within the user allow them to steal the hearts of others in order to extend their life, their chakra pool, and even take the original owner's elemental Chakra Affinity for Elemental Techniques and Genjutsu.

Each elemental or genjutsu spirit takes the form of a mask, black tendril mass and heart. Additionally, each elemental or illusionary spirit can be controlled by by the user, to the point the tendrils can exit the body in small masses and exists as its own controllable entity, with the mask serving as the face and the black tendrils giving the beasts whatever shape the master desires. When this occurs, the mask on the cursed user's back will burst the stitches on his back and then emerge to fight alongside them.

As legend goes, the unknown shinobi that supposedly stole this kinjutsu from their home lived on a long life of terror, his many hearts keeping him alive throughout his evil deeds. However, as of the great war, the terror that is 'Earth Grudge Fear' went silent. But not for long.

PLEASE note the follow restrictions regarding Jiongu!

• As with all Kinjutsu, permission for searching the Wandering Master with knowledge of this jutsu requires Administrative Approval.
• Only the hearts of actual, live Player Characters may be used - obviously, the one losing heart is instantly killed during the sacrifice!

Jiongu (Earth Grudge Fear)
Rank: SS
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m)
Type: Supplementary
Handseals: 10 to devour the heart
Chakra Consumption: High [heart devouring] | Mid [cluster manipulation sustain/per turn] | Mid [one time cost per limb used for clusters]

[/u], excluding their own (making a grand total of five). It should be noted that simply replacing your original heart (the one in your chest) with that of another provides no additional bonus aside from a longer life. Only multiple hearts (2 – 4) provide the elemental bonus.

On a more advanced level, the user can manipulate large clusters of the threads, emitted from various slits along their appendages, which are capable of a variety of uses. This ranges from restricting movement of capture shinobi, deflecting weaponry, or whatever else the user of this technique might feasible concoct in the midst of battle.

Note: This is essentially a procedure during which the ninja’s body is infused and organs are replaced with a countless number of black tendrils.

The user may select one of any compatible elements from any heart they devour. Hybrid elements, so long as the Jiongu user possesses the prerequisites for them, count as a single element. Any fatal damage or blood loss to the user of this technique will destroy the user’s natural heart. Any subsequent hearts will have to be destroyed directly, and are visible and stored in the particularly obvious-to-spot masks on the user’s back.

The user will completely die when all the hearts are destroyed. The user may have a total of five hearts (including their natural heart) within their body at a single time. Once the a heart is destroyed, the user loses the ability to manipulate the elemental chakra associated with that heart.[/ul]


Jiongu, Ito Kuro (Earth Grudge Fear, Black Thread)
Rank: S
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Supplementary
Handseals: –
Chakra Consumption: Mid [per limb sustain in regards to extending] | Mid  [reattaching limbs]

[/b]: This technique allows the user to manipulate up to five threads in order to reattach severed body parts (even those of their allies), or extend a limb up to a maximum distance of five meters away.[/ul]


Jiongu, Abata-Kan (Earth Grudge Fear, Sense of the Avatar)
Rank: S
Type: Supplementary
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m), Far (10m+)
Handseals: 1
Chakra: High [per avatar]

[/b]: Each avatar will take one of the user’s four additional hearts in order to manifest, and thusly acquire the element of said heart (removing it from the user until the heart returns). These avatars are comprised of the majority of the user’s black tendrils, limiting their ability to manipulate the remaining threads in their body to Jiongu, Ito Kuro (Earth Grudge Fear, Black Thread) when two or more Avatars are simultaneously active. The Avatars cannot perform any jutsu the shinobi they acquired their hearts from, but instead, fire beams (roughly 1 meter wide) accurately up to ten meters away of the their respective element. Due to being formed from nothing more than these highly resilient black threads, the Avatar possess an incredible amount of strength and speed (comparable to the 3rd gate). The “heart” giving them life is located in their head, serving as the brain.[/ul][/div][/blockquote]
