Man Sinneth [P]

[Katsumaru]

The sins of my past weigh heavily upon me. I understand that I can accomplish nothing with regret and that my shame does nothing but hinder me. Yet, I can naught but feel it, as they tear apart what little pride I have left. I ask myself – is this self imposed punishment – that I sabotage my joy? An attempt to delay divine retribution? I have never been a man of faith, but in these later years, I prayed and prayed. Why? I wanted to be forgiven.

Three years ago...

”Please, no!” a black haired young boy wept, his arm extended as Jiyuu tore away an elderly man, his figure frail and face wrinkled. The Shikigami spared no word as he snapped his left foot into the man’s knee pit, followed by slamming his own knee into the man’s back. The elder plummeted forwards, nose cracking as he slammed into the grounds. Jiyuu reached into his vest, pulling forth a kunai, and plunged it into the man’s neck. “No!” the child yelped again, trembling, frightened to move. Beneath the mask, Jiyuu’s gray eyes locked with the boy’s before turning on his heels, walking through the door.

He stepped out of the tent into the main pathway of the camp – a refugee camp within Hi no Kuni, to be more exact, in which escapees of surrounding rural villages fled to. Known as Sanctuary, the camp was known to be a place of serenity in the rough times of the Second War, for it was orderly and well guarded. Enstehung, a group to which Jiyuu belonged, came to end all that. The Shikigami turned his head to the left, a grim frown on his face. The dozen tents that way were ablaze, burning the corpses within. Then, the man turned his head to the right, returning the blood stained kunai. There were still tents left that way. Around a dozen or so.

Jiyuu reached behind his head, tying the knot on the stolen Iwagakure headband. The massacre continues. he thought to himself, frown deepening.

[The Dude]

I cannot and will not apologize for what I have done today. I have become a shell of the man I was, reveling in the only purpose that drives me onwards through life. Murder and destruction are my trade, I cannot abide anyone else fulfilling this purpose in my stead. After all, someone else might get it wrong.

- Kiyoshi's Journal

Heavy steps on the broken and burning bodies carried Kiyoshi slowly about the camp ground to Jiyuu's left. He had been fairly busy in his morbid work, but it was something he knew well and something he had become talented in over the years. In fact, it was the only familiar thing he had left in this world once his home and family were gone so it was the one thing he clutched in desperation in his darkest days. The one thing left he knew to do was the only way he kept his mind from history that was stolen from him.

The work work wasn't pretty or fair in anyway, but as always it remained as work that needed to be done. If Kiyoshi didn't do it the cold truth was that there were plenty ready and willing in these times of war. Kiyoshi simply happened to be among the best candidates for the job but even more than that, the Mizukage had Kiyoshi's decisions cornered anyway. What else could he do?

A young fledgling genin charged suddenly out from one of the flaming tents as Kiyoshi drew near. He had seemingly been lying in wait for his chance to attack, but if he thought he had the jump on the old man he was sorely mistaken for Kiyoshi had sensed his feeble chakra for sometime. The genin came in low thrusting a kunai up towards the veteran's rib cage, but the old man was wise to such an optimistic assault catching the boys wrist before twisting it around until he relinquished the kunai to fall harmlessly to the ground.

He then took his free hand and from behind grabbed hold of the boys skull in his hand crushing down with his grip. The heat focused in this hand became concentrated and the smell of searing flesh filled the air. The boy's face flushed red, his mouth agape crying as tears came down his face only to rise as steam as his hair and much of his entire head caught fire. He screamed and clawed with his free hand, kick and squirmed for freedom but his feeble scratches and blows did nothing against the toughed skin of the old Tenzo. After a few moments his cries died out and Kiyoshi tossed the boy's body to the ground where his head smoldered in the dirt.

"I was gonna let him live too..."[/blockquote][/font]

[ichiro]

What did they believe was to happen?
Good times only tell a tale where things will be worse
At some point in the future..
Do they really think we won't be here, than? Life and death is a cycle and by all means I will not halt that cycle but rather Stretch it for however long I may need.

Yasui's eyes would shimmer slightly behind flame as he stood all so idle just watching while an accomplice set a child's skull ablaze within seconds. Scarlet fire... these flames were all so beautiful under the moonlight to him here. It would send the man back in a daze where heats would surge phasing life itself like a lion's roar. If any, he himself knew the capability of a well used Flame and just the very thought made him wonder once more why he had taken such a distinct road so far off from his old people. As if he were shocked, amazed even; he watched in awe at this slaughtering. The way this boy's flesh would tear while his locks lit up like sparks on a quiet summer night. Here he would find himself just gazing around at what was left.

They had come a deal far on this road covered in carcasses. The pain radiating from his body and bloodlust from his blade. Clenched within the right of his grasp it's sheath warm where a cold blooded lion would sleep in peace awaiting the very moment he was to be released. Ah he was here and ready under this dear pressure. Sweat building along his forehead rolling along the side of his face before leaping from his jaw. He would grind his teeth together as he stepped past the one before him simply moving on like this was but a walk in the park. The violet mass over his skull would dance in the hot breeze as he took his eyes to the tents he'd stumbled across. Dirt crunching beneath his feet.

This was the life these shinobi had taken on. It was no one's fault but their own and no matter what was done there would be a point where... Times would bring mass confusion as well as death. Things would shift back and forth for ages, but some were here to shift it only thinking of the positive no matter how negative the action.

There were no more questions left for the Uchiha to answer. At least none concerning where he would be in the future. There were things that needed to be done for this world and he was simply standing up for what was right... At least in his mind. A bare grin would climb upon his face as he took his gaze to a tent directly at his left; a flame flickering within just barely lit. He could smell it. The stench of fear, taking the form of a dark cloud overhead the refugee camp and the rain? Just this team of Grim Reapers teaching the rest of the world what was REALLY happening. His steps sure and his mind locked on the flame falling from existence within the tent would take him on toward it.

He all but wanted the contents to lunge for him if any at all. To be on the other side of this was a feeling that he would never know but the feeling of losing a person close was something he DID know. The problem with this was the very fact that there was no one else for him to lose in this world and so he would remove those drowning in fear from existence as any he'd known would. His left hand would slither across his person to take the hilt of his blade as his steps moved him to the very side of the tent. Clearly, the contents of such rustling to bring distance between the small noises and fate itself brought one to his or her downfall.

One movement would take the length of his blade sliding horizontally through the air as well as the tent like a hot knife through butter. In one clean motion where the end of his swing would take his eyes to the blade in his hand and then the tent as it collapsed in upon itself. Sneering, the Uchiha's eyes drowning in the lust for blood would turn to the blade in arms as the blood of his victim rolled to the point of the weapon. Since the poor fool was already buried why not give him a momentary tombstone? Moments like these had his heart jumping; adrenaline kicking through him.

He'd slide his right foot backward before shoving his arm through the air to bring the point of his weapon into the downed victim. Here would his movement finally cease. He would stay the blade as he stood looking down to the shrouded body. It seemed they were at the end of their road. The crest of his Uchiha family toward those behind him before a glance would be taken to them.

[Katsumaru]

A frightened family of three hid between two tends, huddled together and shivering in terror as the Shikigami strode past, grey eyes gleaming as he stared. The first child was a boy of fourteen, black haired and strong built. The second was his elder sister, at least in her twenties, with a well-developed figured covered in war-torn rags. Jiyuu matched glances with the mother, a fair, blond haired woman with shining dark green eyes. Tears strolled down her cheeks as, for but a moment, Jiyuu stood, dazzled by hear beauty. Those wide eyes, even as they burned with terror, captivated him. She was a Konohagaure citizen. Jiyuu had seen her in the village before. Why was she with these refugees? In a flash, his hands formed two seals, sending a single shuriken at her feet. Smoke covered her wide, green eyes. The smoke of an exploding shuriken. She and her children were no more.

Jiyuu looked too the Airontoku, acknowledging his companion with a nod. Kiyoshi was a powerful man whose very touch harnessed a force fierier than Hell’s scorching flames. Yasui too, was a formidable man, anointed eyes, the artifacts of the first men who could see as no others could see. In the generations to come, the children will read oftheir myths, as we have read myths of times long past.

Was there a purpose to all this? He asked himself, as the crimson marks of blood stained his kunai all the deeper when he strode on, passing judgment as no man should. Was it truly Jiyuu’s place to decide who must die for the greater good? Glancing backwards, five bodies laid, last breath drawn with their necks impaled. One minutes had passed. Gritting his teeth, a shiver ran down Jiyuu’s spine as the bodies lied limp. Five dead in one minutes? There was no resistance, no will to fight, only fear as they simply awaited their deaths at the Shikigami’s hand. They simply could not understand what in the hells was happening. Simply being slaughtered like diseased cattle by a detached farmer, hurrying along to get the task done. The events at this refugee seemed nothing but a sick, twisted carnival of spite. Jiyuu prayed that these fallen, in the life beyond, will forgive him. It was for a purpose. A righteous purpose, Jiyuu thought to himself as his right hand ran across the stolen Iwagakure headband. Jiyuu gave them martyrdom.

These three bound together to ensure that the future is one man wants. Hence, they formed Enstehung. The name, meaning origin, seemed ironic – nay, sardonic, at times like these, when they kill. It stood for something greater, too Jiyuu at least. It stood for an origin known to all, the corruption of the human spawned from the womb of original sin - when man learned what it means to want and know to want. Pride. Disgrace. Bliss. Misery. Resolve. Despair. Some say Enstehung stands for that. Nay, it stands for the final broth of those heights and low of man – it represent the truest form of what this world has become – the realm of war itself. Enstehung symbolized what men will become if they continue to live as they do. Only by showing the world just that can they change. That is why they kill, Jiyuu thought to himself as he turned on his heel, facing away from the ruthlessly executed victims.

___________________________________

A struggles ensues…?

Only six tents were left, the remaining refugees hid, uncertain whether to flee or stay. It seemed as if their ends were to be delayed, for three figures dashed across the horizon, moving so fast the eye could barely follow. Within an instant they arrived in the camp, eyes gleaming with the pride of a predator, the smugness of a hunter that has cornered it’s pray, their leader tauntingly releasing a kunai at Jiyuu’s chest, the throw naught but an arrogant gesture. The soldier stood still as the kunai struck true. The Shikigami’s chest morphed into paper as the kunai continued to fly. The tools of man were inconsequential to the paper angels.

Eerie. Why do three men assail them out of nowhere? They were clad in green and brown, to blend with the land, faces covered by masks covered in esoteric, ink-drawn ruins. The strangeness further blossomed as Jiyuu drew in the figures of the apparent challengers. They were too similar– the three men’s physique seemed almost identical – lithe and muscled, their every bend the same. The trio moved with a graze and discipline that put Jiyuu ill at lease; their movement seemed utterly lifeless, painstakingly mechanical as their muscled jerked and tensed, joints twisting like that of a puppet. They breathed. They were no marionettes, not guided by the dancing fingers of a puppeteer; they were greater than that. Men bred for war. Eerie. Truly eerie. No one should have known about Enstehung’s incursion into Hi no Kuni, and this camp was too remote for reinforcements to arrive this quickly. Someone knew of Enstehung’s plan, and that someone wanted them dead. That is why these foes arrived so suddenly. They were a hit squad. Mercenaries. Just like Enstehung.

Certainly many factions wanted to destroy Enstehung, but the plans never reached fruition, for the group remained well hidden, donning a new disguise for every mission. No one should know they were here, and that someone who wanted them dead knew just that. Unbeknownst to Jiyuu, this…unknown malefactor has watched them for a long, long time. This was an enemy of whom they did not know, stalking their every step. Doom awaited them.

__________________________________________

A new fight begins.

The three men stood before Jiyuu, Kiyoshi, and Yetsui respectively, twenty meters away.

[The Dude]

Kiyoshi drifted off into thought staring at the flaming remans of what had once been known as one of the few remaining havens untouched by the savage wars across the world. It wasn't shocking that all places were soon touched by war, but Enstehung had built quite the vague reputation for removing the illusion of safety from even the most secure places around the world. The end of a cigarette lit up at the touch of his finger tip as he stared at what he personally viewed as a masterpiece of work and another job well done. War wasn't pretty, but it was everywhere driven on by leaders of the shinobi nations. Kiyoshi saw it all for what it was though. War and Hell had become what the Tenzo once thought earth, the shinobi twisted into monsters intent on killing one another.

The only differences between Enstehung and all other shinobi were few. Firstly, Enstehung was without allegiance to a single country striking at the hearts of every nation. The second, that they had been ninja coming into their prime when the wars began and now had the experience and professionalism of war veterans. Finally, Enstehung may not have been the most powerful shinobi team during the wars, but they were they best team for a war with had intelligence reports before every mission and thorough strategy and planning before hand. To summarize, Kiyoshi reinforces his decisions with the belief that Enstehung isn't any more violent than the rest of the world, they're just better at it.

In fact, the members had heard stories of their own deeds passed about by word of mouth among soldiers and citizens alike. Revered and feared the stories and myths varied but the core remained the same, elite soldiers given advanced training from a young age as well as some unnatural gifts that varied even more than the stories themselves. Their appearances were always skewed as well, for the team wasn't keen on leaving many survivors or witnesses. It was a stark contrast to the aging group of shinobi who's only real unnatural training and power was surviving war for so long.

A small explosion brings Kiyoshi back from his drifting thoughts as he turns to see Jiyuu. A small nod is exchanged between the aging veterans before he turns about to look for the third member of the team. A small wave to their youngest member, he has not felt the wearing of time as the others but has shown just as much talent and wisdom as the others. Every man on the team equally dangerous and valuable to the team as a whole.

______________________________________

Half a dozen tents, all that remained and with a mere wave of Kiyoshi's arm they would have been roaring in flames like the rest. But even as Kiyoshi began to approach the tents he was calm and professional, a quick blink of his eyes and he sensed three chakra signatures that sped to the camp with astonishing speed. He came to a stop casually with his next step looking across at the one who had squared off in his path before looking at the others who seemed to confront each of his comrades. The tension in the air was high strung for a moment of silence but it was clear these men had come for Enstehung.

Kiyoshi broke the tension as he slowly hefted the large claymore he had been carrying on his shoulder and stabbed it into the ground. He wasn't shaken by their sudden and confusing appearance but they were noticably a threat upon his first sensing of their strength. These were not foes that could be taken lightly and the shinobi would not fall prey to Hubris. His shoulders rolled back, shrugging the large red coat from his shoulders letting it fall to the floor behind him. He wore a black sleeveless metal mesh shirt as well as baggy pants made of the same material. Heat coursed through his body causing the clothes to glow a dim red as he reached out and grabbed the handle of his sword once more.

Utsuru (Pyromancer’s Aura)
Rank: D, C, B, A, S (625)
Type: Supplementary / Airontoku Kekkei-Genkai / Futton Nintaijutsu

Yasui would sigh... His gaze through this dusty battlefield drifting slowly but surely. Almost that of a flash, like weak lightning would step before him. Eyes locking onto the spontaneous movement left at the entrance of a trio, he would grin. Had these men been seeking to dampen the plans of these deep individuals? Maybe. It was sad enough how it would never seem to fall through as they possibly dreamed on their dirt path into this Snake Pit. What had happened here was simply fate; as well as the previous actings set upon the nation. Some things didn't need to be changed and others.. This was out in the open.

The well mannered Uchiha would remain calm taking his sight to the one beneath him. This was no longer needed and so he would take his stand. The cold blade resting idle within the spine of a poor soul would be retracted quick and with ease. Clearly used as a gesture to imply he was ready for what stepped forward to face Enstehung. This moment was one which was SURE to be remembered even upon the "Brightest" days. There was never enough thrill for the wild minded Uchiha. Maybe such a feat as this could be downfall for him. Where he stood now was where he needed to be. His grin would grow within a few small moments while he stood idle now.

Not even a moment taken to re-sheathe his weapon, crimson orbs would roll toward Jiyuu and Kiyoshi alike. As acknowledged by the two, he himself would deliver a nod even so just barely but dear noticeable. To be one to hone such skill was a bliss, the feeling incredible to know that so many were inferior to oneself. Power simply flushing throughout this Uchiha had him on edge. Since the start of this day had his mind been set on what was to come... and here he would welcome it with a vicious dream and a blade of iron to the heart. Aligning himself with the remains of Enstehung and standing firm would he take his wonders to the ones stepping clear. A blade in his left and a sheath in his right, Yasui glared on; piercing the darkness with a Well-Developed Sharingan.

[Katsumaru]

Jiyuu recalled the first time he took a life, when he was around fifteen. He trained for year upon month, year to be a soldier build whose very duty is not simply to protect, but to protect by killing. No amount of training prepared a man for that moment when he realizes he ended a life. A wife losing her husband, a father his child – such were the realities of war, and as he slaughtered the innocent for what he believed to be a greater purpose, it had not become any easier. The only difference was that he did not vomit anymore. Feeling so, now that was an entirely different thing.

These three new foes seethed with energy unlike any of these refugees, amoral mercenaries highly skilled in battle, uncaring for the lives lost here. The truth of the matter was disturbing – at least Jiyuu felt guilt, but this squad of assailants didn’t seem to give the slightest damn about the dead surrounding them, sparing not even a single glance. The Shikigami wondered, was this what he is destined to become? Mayhap his sins will corrupt him, catapult him beyond redemption. Is that even possible, when his every action is for a greater purpose? His future, truly, seemed grim.

This greater purpose, for which Jiyuu fought, was it even what he visualized? Many men in history dabbled in atrocities, with a righteous goal in mind, but they were murdered and loathed, scribed down as villains in history. This is why secrecy was just so damned important. But all secrets have a way of revealing themselves. That day, when the truth is revealed – goodness, the Shikigami did not even want to fathom the implications. It will be a fate worse than death and the damnation coming with it. ‘Tis the greatest shame of man that awaits them, should they fail.

________________________________

The foe facing Kiyoshi burst into action, chakra pouring through the figure as it hardened his bones, imbuing them with an intense durability matching metal. Albeit, his charge towards the swordsman was at a slower pace due to the bone’s greater density, but that mattered little when a shunshin carried him forwards ten meters, bringing him within ten meters of Kiyoshi, upon which he extended his left hand, releasing five bullets aimed at the swordsman chest.

Each of you, if you want, can control one of the remaining two enemies


Shikotsumyako (Calcium Compression)
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Supplementary / Kaguya Nintaijutsu
Range: Self
Handseals: No.
Chakra: ---
Special:Highest rank determines the level of defense the Kaguya can create under their skin in the form of thin, compressed bone for the sake of defense. Damage reduction, while measured in the form a number, ultimately depends on the RP. Keep in mind the defense bonus only applies to attacks equal or lower to the highest rank known in this technique, and applies to single rank creations; stacked bonus damage attacks can bypass the bone with enough damage. Finally, because the bone within can be so strong, all non-weapon, hand to hand Taijutsu will receive a passive blunt damage bonus equal to the highest rank known in this technique. However, when this effect is applied, the user will ultimately lose speed.
• D: 30% damage reduction // 50% speed reduction
• C: 35% dr // 40% loss
• B: 40% dr // 30% loss
• A: 45% dr // 20% loss
• S: 50% dr // 10% loss

Description: A Kaguya's most basic and innate skill, it allows them to alter the calcium composition of their entire bone structure to whatever density they see fit. Whether they harden a whole section of bone or just one individual piece doesn't matter; if the Kaguya wills it, one normal bone can become as tough as iron. This is the basis behind their bloodline skill and all their jutsu, and as they progress in skill and power, their bones become harder and stronger.
Domain: Kaguya.

Teshi Sendan (Ten Finger Drilling Bullets)
Rank: B.
Type: Offensive / Kaguya Nintaijutsu
Range: 15 meters.
Handseals: No.
Chakra: x2 Mid.
Special: These bullets move in a straight line (at two meters per second), just like your typical projectile. Furthermore, due to their composition-- being made of bone as strong as steel --and their spiraling nature, these projectiles have impressive penetration power. They can easily pass through most natural defenses one foot thick or less (wood, stone, earth, stone), and most armors (non-relic).
Description: The muscles in the Kaguya’s fingertips begin to contract, pushing the bone in the fingertip out through the surface of the skin. At the users will, the bones will fire off as drilling bullets. These bones are powerful tools, capable of penetrating almost any defense.
Domain: Kaguya. Requires b-ranked Calcium Suppression.

[The Dude]

Already the fight began as each of the three unknown foes acted simultaneously. The man before Kiyoshi began with a flickering charge forwards. Having closed ten meters quickly with a gesture of his hand he blasted five small projectiles. Kiyoshi released his grip on his now textile enhanced claymore handle before crossing his forearms before his face just in time. Each of the five projectiles that the enemy shot forth made a staggering impact crashing into the elder shinobi. He had been struck in the shoulder, stomach and one of his crossed forearms causing his body to shudder slightly with the collision of each of the bullets. This kind of attack was something Kiyoshii was unfamiliar with and thus highly unexpected, but he grinned back at the charging shinobi.

Although struck, Kiyoshi's hand quickly worked in hurtling a kunai directly at the charging shinobi with a fluid snapping motion. The kunai would redirect the course of the shinobi hopefully buying Kiyoshi a moment to think through what he would do next. He was admittedly quite ready, but it was important to reflect on his actions before taking them to review for a flaw. Of course the main strategy was to 'warm up' so to speak and prepare for the real fight to come. That didn't mean he could try to fight back in the mean time though. To the hot headed senior, the best defense was an all out offense.

No sooner had he thrown the first kunai than he used his own flashing step backwards and quickly retrieved two more kunai from a single holster on his thigh. These two had been prepped with wire that ran from the hollowed circle pommel of their handles and trailed back into the holster. Gaining some breathing room he neglected the large sturdy claymore, for it's considerable mass could prove a burden in a fight with a ninja of this caliber.

Utsuru (Pyromancer’s Aura)
Rank: D, C, B, A, S (625)
Type: Supplementary / Airontoku Kekkei-Genkai / Futton Nintaijutsu
Range: Self
Handseals: No
Chakra: --
Special: Highest rank known determines the temperature levels the clan member can control their own body temperature as well as the temperature around them, the range it can extend, and finally, the time it takes for the user to heat up. Keep in mind that the further someone is away from the clan member, the more the heat will dissipate; being within 1/3rd of the clan member's heat range will result in full temperature; being between 1/3rds and 2/3rds of the distance away will result in the heat, halved; finally, over 2/3rds to their limit results in 1/4th of the heat suffered. Only Hyouton (Ice) jutsu equal in rank will be able to nullify the effects of the heat, given they match or overwhelm the size of the area containing Boil chakra.
D: 3 meter range / average human temperature (97.6º) / Half Turn heating time
C: 6 m / x1.5 human temp / Full Turn heating
B: 9 m / x2 temp / 2 turns of heating
A: 12m / x2.5 temp / 3 turns
S: 15 m / x3 temp / 4 turns

Airontoku (Ironhide)
Rank: D, C, B, A (325)
Type: Passive.
Range: Self
Handseals: No
Chakra: --
Special: Each rank allows immunity to physical attacks of one rank less - i.e. the 'C' ranked version blocks a single 'D' ranked attack, yet if the strike is ranked at 'DD', then it will go through. Bladed attacks are less likely to penetrate, whereas blunt or smashing type attacks will have a better chance of damaging the opponent.
Description: Over time spent with intense boil exposure and control, the skin of the user becomes somewhat hardened, resilient to weapons to a certain degree. With this prolonged exposure to the heat, their skin becomes rough and rugged, like that of leather, but to a much more durable degree. As such, weapon attacks from bladed weapons such as kunai and swords become less effective against the clan member.
Domain: Airontoku. Utsuru (Pyromancer’s Aura).

_________________________________________

Not far off in the camp the man facing Yasui seemed to keel over quickly lifting his mask to expose his mouth before coughing violently and disturbingly into his hands. A sickening grotesque action to beguile the shinobi from his true intent as he suddenly flash stepped ten meters forward staying low to the ground. But he swiftly rose up casting one of two jagged golden spikes (each two feet in length) like a small javelin at the uchiha.

He held the other spike now firmly in his two hands still rushing forwards towards the uchiha prepared to strike fast and hard should the shinobi be exposed. Should the uchiha be struck by the spike he would soon feel the sickening effects that accompanied the disguisting weapon.

Amimono Ryuuken (Web Dominion)
Rank: D, C, B, A, S.
Type: Passive.
Range: 0 - 50 meters.
Handseals: -
Chakra: -
Special: This technique determines the range, from shortest to maximum, that the self-created spiderweb of the Sasanagi may travel. It should be noted that though the chakra used in creating these webs coats them in a extremely potent adhesive (as in moving once captured is incredibly difficult to do), they do not possess any superlative resilience. While immune to basic forces of cutting and piercing (i.e from a non-relic weapons), chakra-infused items will effortlessly part through the web; this is also true for most, if not all, forms of ninjutsu.
D: 10 meters.
C: 20 meters.
B: 30 meters.
A: 40 meters.
5: 50 meters.
Description: The foundation for most, if not all, of the Sasanagi’s ranged attacks, this technique involves the excretion of webs from various orifices to facilitate a variety of jutsu. This can vary all the way from threads of web ejected from the fingernails, not massive nets spat out from the mouth to capture multiple opponents simultaneously. While somewhat durable to basic forms of assault, the true power of this web comes from the stickiness! Once you’re in, the chances of you budging even a little finger are, more often than not, nill!
Domain: Sasanagi.


Kumonenkin (Spider Sticky Gold)
Rank: D, C, B, A, S.
Type: Supplementary.
Range: Self.
Handseals: -
Chakra: D - Low, C - Mid, B - x2 Mid, A - High, S - x2 High.
Special: Arguably the most rudimentary technique in the Sasanagi’s reserves, this allows the user to create objects via their Spider Sticky Gold. The durability of each creation varies with the desired rank in use (i.e a player with s-rank kumonenkin can choose to create a creation of s-rank quality, or d-rank quality; it’s entirely at their discretion). It goes without saying that the higher the rank, the sharper and more durable these objects will be. It should be noted that the Spider Sticky Gold does not effect the Sasanagi’s web. This technique is used solely to create constructs for the user to wield (either by throwing or holding), and its properties are retained solely by the aforementioned items.
Description: Kumonenkin is one of the kekkei genkai’s most basic and essential supplementary ninjutsu technique. As part of their special blood, the Sasanagi have the ability to release a form of golden liquid from their mouth and sweat glands. When this liquid hits the air it can harden to be as strong as steel, allowing the clan member to be able to use this technique to then form deadly spikes or other projectile weapons.
Domain: Sasanagi.

It seemed the time here for games hadn't even a chance to take it's moment of shine. The plain littered with bodies, the stench of hate and years of shattered dreams. One could only dream of so much but to add on to such as if it were a decent thing? It was disgusting. Such, the Uchiha had been composed of - or actually grew to compose over the years. The feeling he had roaming his person this night was one he had been quite acquainted with at this point. His smiles would be all grins, his laughs would be all pain... As did his cries all turned into tears of gold? Tears of hope. Tch; he would take his eyes to the ones in distance slowly. Two to aid him and three to harm. It was only a matter of time a foe decided to put a hold ont the plans of these three but unfortunately, the were like no others.

The adrenaline that had made his night would rush for his heart as the one in question would violently spew for his hands, clearly an act of aggression, assault; according to the actions that had begun taking place. It seemed there was a real threat to worry for and foes were the very last thing needed at the party. With but a swallow would Yasuii ready to defend himself. At which speed the enemy had moved there was no chance of a failure - especially with the things being dreamed. There was nothing there... nothing but carcasses and sin. Unclear in whole what the Uchiha had roaming his mind, he would take to reach for his side. A blade left to sleep for moments only; his grip would take to it and a tug would tear it from its shaft.

A bare moment would pass where the clash of metal in the air could be heard like a pin dropping in dead silence. One defense had been a success though a small side-step of evasion would follow. This hadn't given even the slightest hint for the fighter to slow his progression. The assault would continue as planned - or hunched even. Eyes piercing every movement as he continued on - his weapon sheathed - and his arms rising to chest level as curiosity did to his mind. To wonder who these men were was to wonder what exactly the trio had been doing all this time. Yasui hadn't been one to question his own... the care for such had fallen short a deal of time ago. A small breath would be release and within the blink of an eye would but ONE mirror climb to perfect height, matching in ways one would call identical. Merely hopping backward would do him well for the replicate would stand idle as he'd positioned himself, halting all movement five meters behind himself.

Sharingan [San] 150
Rank: A
Type: Supplementary.
Range: Eyesight
Chakra: x2 Mid to cast, low to sustain.
Special: Considered to be a fully matured Sharingan eye, this is, for many, the final stage that their Sharingan is able to access. This stage of the eye allows the user to pierce all a-ranked genjutsu and below, and predict and comprehend all taijutsu of a-rank and below, as well. Likewise, at this stage, the Sharingan can roughly (just barely) keep track of movements x5 the speed of your average shinobi. Keep in mind that regardless of foresight and prediction, in order to avoid incoming attacks, the Uchiha's speed, agility and RP ability will ultimately control whether they can move to avoid it.
Description: The final normal evolution to Sharingan, the third tomoe fits symmetrically with the rest by creating a perfect triangular existence around the pupil. An eye containing three tomoe will allow the ninja to see the image of an attacker’s next move from the slightest muscle tension in their body, in the form of a quickly processed mental premonition. This prevents wasteful movement and allows the Uchiha to conserve much needed chakra in battle. It allows them to synchronize their movement to strike at an area moments before their opponent is even in that spot, essentially allowing them to strike out and hit their opponent before they're even there. Best of all, three tomoe also grants the Uchiha the ability to cast unique genjutsu and incur deep hypnosis after locking eyes with an enemy. This can be used to cause their opponent to do an attack of the Uchiha's choosing, or simply to force them to endure endless torture.
Domain: Uchiha.

Rasen Karasu-Zuki (Spiral Parry Thrust) 50
Rank: C
Type: Defensive / Taijutsu / Kenjutsu
Range: 0 - 5 meters
Chakra: Mid
Special: Learning 'B' rank "Art of Mental Presence." increases defense by one rank. Up to 5 projectiles can be parried per use, plus 1 more each time retrained up to a maximum of 10.
Description: Commencing from any position, the practitioner proceeds to unsheathe their blade and quickly strike down an incoming projectile, either slicing it in half or redirecting its path away from the user. 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. Once the user becomes more proficient at judging the distance, speed and direction of projectiles, they will be able to cut down even more projectiles in a fluid movement.
Domain: Kenjutsu. Iaijutsu 'C'.

Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shadow Clone Technique) 100
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary.
Range: 0 - 5 meters.
Handseals: 1.
Chakra: Halves the user's chakra.
Special: When first learned, a single Shadow Clone can be produced. Each time re-learned, one additional clone can be made, for a maximum of 5. Please remember that regardless of the amount of clones made, the chakra is still divided evenly amongst all bodies. However, when a clone is defeated or chooses to disappear, whatever remaining chakra within their bodies, as well as their knowledge, returns to the user. The only exception is 'Bunshin Bakuha', which sacrifices the chakra return for a grand explosion. This technique can only be learned by Jounin ranked shinobi; no exceptions!
Description: Kage Bunshin is an advanced, forbidden Ninjutsu technique, which grants the user the ability to create a tangible clone. The normal Bunshin technique creates a copy of the ninja that lacks any substance. However, Kage Bunshin distributes the ninja's chakra evenly among the clones and creates a real copy with form and substance, to the point the clone can utilize any jutsu the original ninja knows, and spawns with any equipment the user has one them at the time of the summoning. When the clone finally disperses, any new knowledge it has gained is passed back to the original ninja and any additional clones.
Domain: Universal Ninjutsu.

The sight was one like no other, eyes glaring through the system of enemies quite some distance away. About fifteen meters to be approximate. The male would stand idle; skin pale while veins would bulge from the sides of either eye. Snow white in color as if the shinobi had been taken to that of the blind side in time. This however, was NOT the case. Shrouded beneath that of a hood ; the face of this Hyuuga would be hidden for moments along while a plan to bring this team down would climb within the walls of his mind. Sure enough it was only a matter of time before a target was chosen effectively. An idle moment was one to dwell on especially in the one idle was opposite of your faction.

[Katsumaru]

It was all too easy, Jiyuu thought to himself as paper flushed from his figure, hubris at its height as he faced the hooded foe, hand seals taking only slightly longer than a second. Their purpose was revealed not long after as the parchment adopted the form of three figures; three simulacrums, to be exact, identical to Jiyuu in appearance. As they adopted their shape, Jiyuu reached into his pouch with the left hand, pulling forth two thin pieces of parchment. One clone formed one meters ahead, and two directly to his left and right, only several centimeters away. The clone in lead immediately begun to charge, not only serving as a distraction, but beginning to form two seals, holding them when he was ten meters from the Hyuuga.

While this occurred, Jiyuu attached the two pieces of parchment to the clones nearby, one each, as they too began to charge, approaching the Hyuuga in an arc from the left and right. Meanwhile, already during the retrieval of the parchment, his other hand was also in action, reaching into the satchel to pull forth two shuriken. After the paper was attached to the clone, he grabbed one of the shuriken with his other hand and threw them towards the Hyuuga, also approaching from an arc in a left and right, their curves greater than that of the clones.

Sujimae Kami (Folding Paper);S

Pepa Bunshin no Jutsu (Paper Clone Technique)
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary.
Range: See special!
Handseals: 3.
Chakra: High [Mid with Mastery]
Special: Up to one clone can be made at a time, plus one more each time retrained up to a maximum of five clones. When struck, the paper clone will disperse into a clump of paper which can then be reused (at another high cost of chakra) to form another bunshin. There is a one post duration between reforming these clones. These clones can use their hands and feet as weapons, being as how the paper created possesses the same sharpness as steel.
Description: With a sufficient amount of paper, the user forms a three seals and calls them together in order to form a perfect clone of themselves. Unlike regular bunshin, the paper clone has substance, can move at improved speeds, and best of all, scatters when struck for re-use. On the other hand, paper clones are not spawned with the user's inventory. These clones can perform c-ranked or lower Shikigami techniques.
Domain: Shikigami.

The veteran was correct – the kunai provided just the distraction he required. The Kaguya’s bone possessed a superhuman hardness, but taking on a kunai directly would be too foolish a move. Mid run, he tilted his upper body, the projectile flying past harmlessly – albeit, with a price, for in that instant, the warriors charge slowed even further, gathering chakra in his left arm, bone growing forth to ten feet rapidly. Straightening his body, a shunshin carried him forward not long after the opponent completed his, bones continuing to grow as he arrived ten meters from the foe, arm swinging in a wide arc, the whip reaching its full length of 20 feet after he walked five meters, barbed bones attacking the veteran from the right.

Kyoki Yanagi no Mai [Dance of the Weeping Willow] [Known Six Times]
Rank: C
Type: Offensive / Special Bloodline Technique / Nintaijutsu
Range: See Special!
Handseals: No.
Chakra/Stamina: Mid [Low with mastery]
Special: The bones grows approximately 10 feet outward from the user, plus an addition 2 feet everytime this technique is re-trained.
Description: Kyoki Yanagi no Mai is named after the Weeping Willow, a tree that has long limp branches, thus it got the name of 'weeping'. Utilizing the ability of the Shikotsumyaku, the user channels their chakra and is able to grow bones from their forearms, palms or fingers. These bones have little calcium in them, but the strength lies in the amount that is created and that they are shaped and armed with extremely sharp barbs. The bones are utilized as coiled whips by the Kaguya clansmen, taking enemies out from a distance, immobilizing them with an array of thin whips from the forearm, palms and fingers which interconnect when around the target. The barbs make the immobilization more effective as they dig into the targets body. Once released, if it's still connected to the Kaguya, they are able to control the whips movements, as it is flexible like elastic. But, if the user wishes, they are able to disconnect the 'threads' from their body in an instant.
Domain: Kaguya. Must know 'C' ranked Calcium Compression.
