Haion Rei ( Heine Zero )

[/u] B-Rank | Scythe | 15000 Ryō
Heine Zero is a unique scythe, whose snath is about three meters in length and obsidian in color. The blade of the scythe is also dark in color, the chine being a dark grey while the metal from the toe to the heel and tang gleams a black color. The blade itself measures about a meter long from heel to toe with a broad but still distinct curve. The scythe is pretty light for its size and its snath is flat in shape, like the handle of a katana, rather than round such as to allow it to move through the air more easily and to allow for a better grip. Finally, the kanji for "hope" was engraved near the middle of the snath using Kaiiro's blood mixed with his chakra. This was a ritual performed by his father, the maker and original wielder of the scythe, to bond the scythe to the boy so that it may grow with him.
Its maker folded its steel several times and reinforced it with a cursed form of chakra throughout each fold. This cursed chakra came from a summoning the creator was tied to, and he was spared from its effects simply because he was a holder of the contract. The murky, arsenic chakra feeds off of other forms of chakra, though it is capable of sustaining itself on its own as if it were regular chakra.
As a result of this enhancement, the scythe hosts strange abilities but its most promiment and only passive one is that it can cut through and "devour" chakra. The cursed chakra reserve of the scythe grows through experience and training by the wielder as if it were living. This reserve also grows when it eats chakra, however it's strange in that it "digests" the chakra it absorbs and converts it to the same cursed state. Because of this, while it can absorb mass amounts of chakra and temporarily use it, it will only retain a percentage of the chakra. The "wastes" are emitted as a black aura.
To not have their own chakra devoured by the scythe and for it to actually "cooperate" with them, the weilder must have undergone the bonding ritual. When it falls into the hands of a new owner, the scythe is stuck in accessory form. When Inhei is learned, access to it's weapon form is granted. Even after the scythe's true form his revealed, it will lack the ability to devour chakra until Hitokui Seishin is learned.

Hitokui Seishin ( Biting Soul )

[/u] | D, C, B | Passive | Close-Range
This governs Heine Zero's ability to devour chakra, limiting the rate at which it absorbs it and the amount it retains after digesting the absorbed chakra. Heine Zero can only absorb chakra equal to a rank below this technique per moment of contact with the chakra. The amount it retains after digesting the absorbed chakra is equal to the actual rank of this technique. If the chakra absorbed exceeds the maximum that Heine Zero can hold at the time, then the remainders will simply evaporate from the scythe as a black aura. Phsyical contact has to be made in order for Heine Zero to eat chakra. Heine Zero treats each moment of contact as a 'bite' so to speak, as it does not continue draining after the initial drain from contact is made.

Shouka ( Digestion )[/u] | D, C , B, A, S | Active | Self
The same way Hitokui Seishin governs how much chakra Heine Zero can absorb at a certain point, Shouka governs how much of that chakra can be digested and converted into the same cursed chakra Heine Zero holds. Once learned, Heine Zero becomes capable of digesting chakra down and retaining amounts equivalent to a rank below that of this ability.

Inhei ( Concealment )[/u] | E-Rank | Active | Close-Range
This technique is used to shift Heine Zero from accessory to weapon form and vice-versa. By tapping their bonding engraving on the scythe, the user is capable of transforming it into a smaller, compact form. In this form, Heine Zero is unable to utilize any abilities it possesses and functions as a simple accessory. In Etsuko Kaiiro's case, Heine Zero takes the form of a small, black wrist rosary with the engraving's location being on the cross. To return the scythe to its original form, a small amount of the holder's chakra just needs to be focused back into the engraving on the item's sealed form.

In my opinion this is honestly to close a copy to Samehada. I'll let Fina choose to allow it or not though. Although I feel it should be tweaked so it doesn't sound like a ripoff.

[minakami masaki]

How's it a copy/ripoff? Just because it can "eat" chakra? Fina said things couldn't be exactly like another unless approached differently and I'm sure this approach to eating chakra is much more different. Samehada is a living thing that sucks chakra to sustain itself. My scythe isn't alive, it's just loaded with cursed chakra that only seeks to consume other forms of chakra. It was supposed to be like the Amaterasu of chakra, since Amaterasu could even consume the fires of other techniques. Samehada's chakra drain is based on how it feels and can last as long as its in contact with its victim, as it has a conscience, while my scythe can only take "bites of chakra." Samehada's ability remains the same regardless of who its owner is, from what we see in the manga. My scythe's ability changes from owner to owner because its capability relies on the growth of the person it was ceremonially bonded with. And, if I remember correctly, Samehada retains all the chakra it absorbs. My scythe has limits to the amount it can retain because it actuallly "digests" chakra. In fact, its ability to even eat chakra has to be learned. It's chakra eating abilities stem from different sources, act in different ways and is on a substantially limited level when compared to Samehada, and it lacks many abilities the Samehada has, such as emitting spikes from the hilt in foreign hands or actually being a living creature. Is that not enough for it to be considered a different entity?

[Sayomi]

No, because it possess sentinel like qualities like that of Samehada. Although not as "aware" it does in fact retain some degree life. This is hinted by a few things.

This cursed chakra came from a summoning the creator was tied to, and he was spared from its effects simply because he was a holder of the contract. The murky, arsenic chakra feeds off of other forms of chakra, though it is capable of sustaining itself on its own as if it were regular chakra.

This bond you speak of could not be formed if it didn't retain anything close to a sentinel aspects or qualities. Like that of summons, which require contracts, {Monkey King Enma} and even Saemehada has its own contract, in which it eats the wielders chakra as well until feed another chakra. So to posses this type of bond it is quite arguable that this weapon in some way possess life, even if it is minuscule is is life.

As a result of this enhancement, the scythe hosts strange abilities but its most promiment and only passive one is that it can cut through and "devour" chakra. The cursed chakra reserve of the scythe grows through experience and training by the wielder as if it were living. This reserve also grows when it eats chakra, however it's strange in that it "digests" the chakra it absorbs and converts it to the same cursed state. Because of this, while it can absorb mass amounts of chakra and temporarily use it, it will only retain a percentage of the chakra. The "wastes" are emitted as a black aura.

To not have their own chakra devoured by the scythe and for it to actually "cooperate" with them, the weilder must have undergone the bonding ritual. When it falls into the hands of a new owner, the scythe is stuck in accessory form. When Inhei is learned, access to it's weapon form is granted. Even after the scythe's true form his revealed, it will lack the ability to devour chakra until Hitokui Seishin is learned.

In this quote even further aspects are brought to life as it "digests" excess chakra. The sword grows stronger alongside the wielder as if they aesthetically "help" one another. These aspects verify living qualities, to it being a "living being" just like Samehada. The only difference is that this weapon doesn't feed off the wielders chakra.

Samehada also has a set amount it can devour. however true that your sword only takes bites, but at B, or even A rank you'll still be doing essentially what Samehada's do. I contact was made on Great fire ball jutsu and you retained B rank on your chakra devouring technique with a single "bite" you would've sucked the attack clean.

Also Samehada's spikes act like your contract, if it disapproves of a wielder it will do that, your weapon converts to its accessory form. While there are a few things that make it somewhat different it still remains that the two are alike with multiple similarities.

[minakami masaki]

But all those qualities you point out come from the cursed chakra, not the weapon at all. To get to the core of it, the basis of its abilities comes from the cursed chakra. That alone separates it from likeness to Samehada, unless you want to get unnecessarily technical. Samehada's abilities come from itself, as it is a living being. Maybe you could consider the cursed chakra a living entity, but that only separates it from Samehada in that the weapon's abilities come from a separate entity. Without the cursed chakra, it'd just be your run of the mill scythe. The difference between this weapon's stipulation and samehada's lies in the fact that it's all on samehada's preference while the accesory form is just routine and ritual. All in all, it was really just a limitation added so I could get this approved at B-Rank.

And are you so sure about this absorption ability being on par with Samehada's in higher ranks? As I recall Samehada being able to absorb six tails worth of chakra from Killer Bee in a moment of contact.

Edit: Furthermore, I'd like to point out that the whole basis of my argument isn't that it doesn't share some qualities to Samehada. As stated in my previous post, it's that there should be enough differences to make it not a ripoff and actually approvable. Understanding what you said about the bite size, I made them cap at B-Rank since the weapon itself does. And I'd like to point out that it's not a sword. It's a Scythe. |:

At any rate, I'd rather Fina's or another staff member's opinion.

[DAVID BOWE]

The reason it’s sticking with Samehada is simple. Its main ability is exactly the same as Samehada’s main ability. So much so that when I first read the description I thought “Samehada.” Now, there are several routes you can follow that keep this scythe away from Samehada. It could be as simple as just slashing chakra, forget the object actually eating it. Or you could have it so the weapon converts the cursed chakra into the person. Fucking up their molding process. Each rank you learn means that’s the rank of Ninjutsu the victim can’t use. Or the cursed chakra enters their body and starts eating away at their chakra.

There’s another ability that came to mind but I like it so much I think I’ll save it for myself xD.
