Entry # 1: Salvation Renewed

The tide of war changed even the purest of men….

Rushing through the emerald breadth, swiftly eluding the impending branches and shrouds, one swiftly advanced further into the forest. Sensations of warmth fell from the heavens, adroitly infiltrating the mess of olive through the cracks in between leaves and limbs before touching the ground in haphazard locations. A vague path compiled of shaved soil marked the original pathway through such an intricate locality. Nonetheless, shortcuts and avenues unknown to foreigners drastically shortened one’s travel—a certain someone took the latter.

Uchiha Ryūsuke, after being informed earlier in the day of his partner’s swift retreat into the backwoods quickly rushed after. Asato was talented and cunning, nonetheless that didn’t take away from his naïve characteristic. The dark haired boy with charcoal specs enjoyed limelight, and the attention accumulated from succeeding within the Hidden Leaf, one couldn’t discredit that. Nonetheless, was it so hard to wait for your squad mate?

Sprinting through the self-implicated corridors of the forest’s bulk, shimmers of summer orange danced against the olive tinge of the Uchiha’s Flat Jacket, while the silver-lining of his armguards bathed in their glisten. Attacked to his back, twin Hook blades that rattled with a soundless quality; it would seem one was quite outfitted for combat or at the very least, patrolling with the hopes of engaging another in fierce warfare. Long strands of even scarlet swaying in the backdrop of the moving Shinobi, orbs of perceptive violet calculated the surroundings thoroughly. As vigilant as he was competent, with his village on strict security regulations, one should always be mindful.

After a few moments, the sounds of conflict emerged in the forefront, immediately placing the Genin on alert. Proceeding forward with a cautious pace, escaping a number of varying rocks and branches, Ryūsuke found himself near a large opening, only concealed by the boundary’s protective shroud provided by the forest. Peering through a series of bushes, careful not to alert anyone with a slight snapping of a twig, the Uchiha noticed a series of Shinobi occupying the area. Upon further inspection, it one stood in the open, hosting a rather refined weapon from where he stood; another approaching in a lethargic stroll, as well as Hota---HOTARUBI!? What was she doing here!? And why was she rushing the man? And was that…. Asato?

Roughly thirty five Meters to the left of the group, hidden within the forest boundary, his location should have been secure, as such, drawing a tailored Kunai, laced in a single parchment of tan, he waited. Astute and concentrated, his surrounds interlaced with his sensory tools—allowing even the most foreign sound to not go disregarded. His friend was in trouble and while his mind forced the action of rushing in hurriedly, that would save anyone. He had to really think this through. Prepared to attack when required he simply looked on, and would go off what his Ally produced. She was a Konohagakure Shinobi, as well as Asato and the other who rested comatose on the ground. If those two strangers were involved, it was most probable to assume they were here dangerous.

Two ordeals in one day? Traversing Hi no Kuni seemed to only bring discord. At least that was how it seemed as he stepped from another stretch of forest and into another clearing. Battling shinobi took center stage, but none of which seemed to be very powerful. That is, unlike the two Uchiha he had seen before. There was one familiar face among the bunch though. The fellow had it rough and it seemed shinobi crawled out of the wood work, literally, after him.

Out numbered but not out matched, Yuuza was one against many. This clashed morally with Yip as he came up from behind the conflict, sword drawn and ready from twenty meters behind the group, fifteen to Ryu's right. Once more this technique would be used on the field of battle and once more would serve as a reminder to all around that a dangerous nukenin wandered the world as Trang garnered and focused energy within the archaic jian. Buddha show mercy. [prep]

[/i]. A quick burst of seal had come to course through my finger as I kneeled upon the soft mud daring not to make a sound.

Silver hues beckoned forth to his position but 15 meters away as I had completed the seals. I’d take in a great heap of air as I awaited my next move.

[Anmida]

Silent is the killer as she stalks her prey. Like a snake in waiting, Yuhwa watched the battle ensue from atop a tree hidden by an assortment of bushes. Visibility of her impossible unless one stood on the exact same branch she did. As she watched, careful preparations for when she would join in on the fray were underway. Using the time provided to her by her stealth, she carefully took note of all beings within the vicinity that she could visually see. In total she accounted for six people participating in the battle but she was a wary one.

Like herself, there could be others who laid in wait for the most favorable conditions to strike. Knowing full well others could be in hiding, her pupils shifted from a circular shape to thin slits similar to a snakes. Her vision of the world shifted from multi-colored to a world of purple, orange, yellow, and red. Infrared vision granted Yuhwa the ability to see the heat emanating from any warm-blooded creature allowing her to pick up the identity of three other individuals. The first being a singular man hiding and watching the battle while the other is a pair of males in hiding -- one watching the other. Her new-found vision made it impossible for anyone with blood running through their veins to hide from her.

With all entities accounted for, Yuhwa could safely make her move and step into the midst of the battle -- in a sense. She wouldn't literally jump into the fray head-on. She was far too cunning for something so barbaric. Located 20 meters from the battle and about 10-15 meters from the three hidden males, she made her move in secret. A total of 6 snakes would slither out from under her skirt and make their way into the semi-hollow tree she resided on. Using the hollow innards, her snakes made their way silently and quickly to the dirt below from within the tree. From within the tree, they tunneled their way into the earth quickly and silently. About a foot beneath the surface, the snakes moved outwards to form Yuhwa's "star" network. Thus, her preparations for battle are done. And deadly is the unseen enemy.

Yamcha, who was tagging along behind his no so trustful ally Shizuka this time, that being something he was unaware of, made his way to the field, 10 meters behind him. It was obvious as he looked around, his ally who eyed another man bearing a kunai, a red haired man off a distance as he glanced to his right, and a girl as he glanced to his left. Not too mention he could see an incapacitated body in the distance, though he couldn't confirm it dead. Along with the sounds of violence up ahead, the scene spoke for itself. Battle.

He couldn't tell sides, he couldn't tell who was friend or foe- with the exception of Shizuka. Though he knew battle yielded weapons, and potential profit if he was victorious. Enticed by the idea, he decided to separate himself from his fiery headed partner at the moment. Walking 5 meters to his left, a tree on his right that he leaned onto concealing himself from the people outside the pocket of land to his right, and another concealing him to the girl 5 meters to his left; a decent spot he decided.

The view of battle unfolded and explained itself as he watched, enjoying his view. As if from the perfect perspective, the backs of a brown haired short man who appeared to be the center of attention and a man standing next to him, along with being out of eyeshot of the man and woman who were moving towards him from the same direction. It was sheer luck that gave him such a vantage point.

He would have fun with this battle, everybody here was within the range of his ability, and for the moment undetected, he set his four foot broadsword on the ground, then opened the packs at his waist, revealing twenty five shuriken, but did not throw them. He took another moment to access the next moments of the situation, and how he should change them to his pleasing.

He began to weave hand seals in preparation.

1 Prepped Technique

[spade]

His hand seals had already finished before his roll, but as he completed the ninja roll - the water wave had come to a halt and his sky and water convergence had missed the target. But, Asato was not one to be careless, and in a fight for his life, his senses were sharp as a katana. The nukenin disappeared from his position to save himself from being captured, now where was he? His peripheral vision caught the nukenin in the act, as he turned his body to face Asato, he'd waste no time in getting out of that range. He'd immediately step backwards, while he swiped his sword upwards.

Since the water cutter was a technique that moved in a linear fashion, in reality all Asato had to do was drop his hands, so - even with the little time given, a simple step back allowed him to dodge the attack as it was only aimed for his forearms. Little drops of water from the attack got on Asato's frame, but that was all that happened. Wasting no time, his digits danced together, forming a specific pattern of mythical beasts whilst the man retracted backwards.

Well, well, well, the company was all here. One after another companions from past and present seemed to announce themselves upon the battlefield, a blessed shinobi Yuuza was. His attacked missed as the konoha shinobi managed to dodge (cuz I let him given it was horizontal instead, but we'll go with vertical ) the High speed Kirikata with a simple movement, bravo. But having become impalpable for a breif second (retracting shunshin) he distance himself 10 meters from spades original position, however, as his movements came to a brief halt, an advancing Konohagakure shinobi fell victim to his quizzical gaze as she rushed forth with a vengeful taint behind her steps. Out of chakra, he still maintained some form of physical freshness, and this his body had turned and bolted to his left (Opposite of all you hiding mofo's since no sides were specified) the moment she hit roughly 17 meters.

His calves thrummed abruptly with activity as he placed Suigai within its own prison and Ardemus upon his waist. He ran several meters before he spotted his surprised cavalry through the concavity of his eyes, indeed a true blessing. His hands dove into his packs searching for odds and ends only to retrieve a slew of flash bombs (x2), both of which glided through the air behind him with a simple reversed flick of his wrist. As the beckoned forth, the lost physical form, and in turn gave birth to a beautiful which light, much of which would have blinded anyone had he been chased after.

2 flash bombs

[MALAK;]

Fuck. Yuuza was in too much trouble to just stay in the shadows to provide support. Rushing out of the tree line he made a beeline straight towards Yuuza. Though staying focused on the surrounding area enough to be prepared to avoid incoming attacks. Hand seals even met as he was prepared to avoid anything as he glanced at near by log. Possibly something left behind by a traveler who used it as a means to sit.

Now about half a meter from Yuuza he stood beside his ally. "Looks like ya could use some assistance bro'!"

I traveled a long distance to get these sons of bitches. It seems as though they are in a fight. There has to be at least six or seven people. I was concealed nicely in the forest brush. I doubt even my "friends noticed" me make an appearance on this side of the country. Oh well. should I let them die by these fellows. to my left or the snake lady who was concealed behind them. or should the Uchiha to their right be the one to slay him. No, that wouldn't be honorable. These two burnt down the town of Ogsuri. I must be the one to kill them. Myself.

I was concealed and ten meters away from Shizuka, he stood directly in front of me, with his younger friend next to him. Two other nuke nin were in front of them a couple of meters occupied with a feisty young girl, about the age of Shizuka's friend. The others were concealed just as I am. I am to wait and protect them. As to only kill them myself. two leaf ninja were fighting the two nuke ninja with another ninja on the floor. From the looks of it he was dead.

I crouched in a ready position to leap and quickly did some hand signs. I am preparing a jutsu that is versatile and effective that would hopefully put the match to "our favor." I will just sit here ready to make my move.

Ten’Yuu watched.

Ten’Yuu smiled.

Hands coming together discreetly underneath the protection of his magic cloak, he weaved his seals expertly, directly after retrieving senbon from his robes and wrapping them in explosive tags. Preparations done for combat, the Oinin watched as more hunters and nukenin showed up, all ready to kill each other and claim the bounties.

Slipping from his protection, though still out of sight from the group, Ten’Yuu ran with all his speed towards the nearest enemy—Sohyo. In both hands there were three senbon, one in between each finger, and two of which wrapped in explosive notes. The jutsu the Oinin prepared had yet to come into effect, but it would soon enough.

Regardless, hands pulled back, Ten’Yuu ran forward a solid ten meters with his eyes directed to the ground and lower half of his target, preventing him from getting blinded. Quickly approaching behind Sohyo, coming to a stop just another ten from his target. As he ran his right hand snapped forward, sending a flurry of three senbon towards Sohyo. Likewise, the moment he reached his destination, the other three would be pulled back and launched towards the target. Naturally his hands came together, detonating the explosions should they strike or get close to their target.

The Action


This shindig was heating up like some block party, it had to be some big fish lurking in wait, but most if not all were unbeknownst to her. Hotarubi had her sites on the target she wanted, the man who was fighting the same kid she had, still in motion her eyes fell upon the man who began to turn his body left in an attempt to flee her. Such would not be allowed.

SPOILER: Click to show

Out of chakra, he still maintained some form of physical freshness, and this his body had turned and bolted to his left (Opposite of all you hiding mofo's since no sides were specified) the moment she hit roughly 17 meters.

His calves thrummed abruptly with activity as he placed Suigai within its own prison and Ardemus upon his waist. He ran several meters before he spotted his surprised cavalry through the concavity of his eyes, indeed a true blessing.

If it was a footrace from her he desired he come out loser one thousand times over, the seventeen meter mark met as he bolted left, Hotarubi's body would accelerate, blonde hair whipping at her neck beneath her hood as she utilized two shunpo, whilst curving. Exiting the first high-speed movement for but a brief moment, she'd witness him putting away his weapons, both swords, a mistake he'd regret. With the second He'd find himself abruptly cut off before he could run several meters and reach into his pouch for what he desired.

Upon exiting her shunpo early, so that she could appear directly before him, leaving just enough space so that she could press forward. With Oruhane held up within Hotarubi's dominant arm (left) seeking to fall upon her target-Yuuza, the weight of the world upon its tip backing her swing. Without warning, if he sought to contest her Hakane he'd find it would be quite the burden.

(screaming) "Oraaa!"

There would be no give away to the weight Hotarubi wielded, that was of course unless he could see chakra, other than that the only thing noticeable would be the sound of flapping wings that pervaded the area. Whilst the action of trying to strike him down, her other arm was at the same time held to her chest, energy gathered in right arm ready to be unleashed with but the finish movement of a simple swipe foward were things not to go her way.

special With each rank learned, the amount of force behind each swing increases by fifty pounds with S rank the max amount of weight behind it. Due to the amount of force crashing down this can only be used one time per post, plus another with the addition of a new rank. Also, by swinging it akin to a baseball bat, it can reflect projectile jutsu of equal rank caliber because of the force behind its swing.
description By allowing chakra to perforate the special hinges made within, with a single swing said chakra is propelled outwards, opposite of where the swing is aimed for, thus increasing the amount of force behind each swing of Oruhane.

Entry # 2: Role Call

A mistrustful sight it was, the sight of combat. Lore formed from propaganda or legends molded from actual events? It mattered not, for when faced with the opportunity to conceptualize a story of amazing possibilities, one couldn't argue the desire to act on impulse. One of the many forests within the Fire country had become a battleground for numerous individuals, natives or otherwise. Flames touch the heavens, while the wrath provoked by Poseidon cleansed the stench of chard-- Apollo could only retaliate in due time. The life of a shinobi held no guarantees, for events such as these could easily consume one, ridding the world of their existence. How... enticing.

As he looked on, observant orbs of purple complimenting the immense grandness of the field, something didn't sit well with the Uchiha. His right hand clenching the steel close to his chest as intuition emerged. Someone, or thing was watching him, he could feel it-- eyes beating against his back with staggering force. Stalking his movements like a snake slithering to its prey, the feeling was repugnant and unwelcoming. Nonetheless, regardless of what he felt, his ears heard none which led to two distinct conclusions; he was paranoid, or his assumed opposition held themselves at bay from a distance. Whatever it may be, mental confusion or instinctive assurance, Ryūsuke's already cautious demeanor sharpened further.

His posture hadn't changed however as he wouldn't give anyone the accurateness of his premisses. His senses integrated with his environs, and surrounded by a number of indicators (branches twigs, etc as previously stated in my introduction), if anyone motioned closer without caveat, it wouldn't go disregarded. He'd act accordingly when the time presented itself.

As the Konoha shinobi continued to institute the art of observation, it would seem the opportunity to react had manifested as commotion bombarded his background. Head turning while his senses guarded his blind point, Ryūsuke looked upon a number of men foreign to his eyes, one seemingly motion to attack another with projectiles. His cover patently distorted, one action was only plausible. Wait; this could provide the perfect opening to inflict damage, and while protecting Asato was a priority, salvaging his own life was indeed the more important of the two if he intended. Right arm prepared to react, the Uchiha kept his head turned slightly, allowing peripherals to capture more of his environment.

[Dagron Hoshigake]

From the moment Trang setted to the field he had gone either unnoticed or disregarded as just another Nukenin, or some passerby, or ignored completely by those who had their backs turned to whatever lurked within the forests of Hi no Kuni. People pooled into the clearing as though the hushed sounds of combat echoed all throughout the land, their purpose clear by the way they held themselves. The land would be soaked in blood by the time any of them left, if any of them left at all. Absorbing every little detail was key, but not needed as the technique about to be unleashed knew no ally. It would bite deep the flesh of all as enemies. This kind of approach seemed appropriate, as it would not only weaken but hinder everyone caught within.

It started as a swift downward swing of his sword. A fairly absurd action taken toward no specific target, generalizing the center of the conflict. Without warning the air stirred and surged forward, spreading out to a width of fifty meters and traversing over one hundred meters, devouring everything and everyone within it's sharp, jagged maw. Blades of wind danced, weaving destruction to and fro, and to those without full armor, this deadly technique hacked and slashed at flesh until every cut amounted to a bloody wound promising nothing more than a slow, agonizing death. Perhaps the most terrifying feature of the Kamaitachi was that it was never seen, unless the prying eyes of an Uchiha dared gaze upon it. With Yuuza in it's center, it covered a great portion of the clearing.

Of course, Trang was no fool, and while the Kaimaitachi spread to deal the damage out, proceeded to dig deep within a wellspring of energies once more, garnering the chakra into his hand and then into the air for a follow-up attack. His eyes scanned the battlefield for the next target from left to right and to his back. The air once more stirred, heeding the wind lord's call.

eat my dust !

[/i] than this act that I would play. Unknowingly so.. a few of the serpents had dug their way but this was also no concern for me as my figure seemingly blinked out of existence from all the other hidden men around me in order to carry me in a wide c shaped angle to the right of my target, yuuza and his opponent and away from the rest of the group.


My actions were judged off of the two objects my target had thrown along the ground – I wasn’t going to stick around to find out what it is they would do. As for the explosion of light my body was carried at an angle away from where he’d last thrown them [1/15]. He wouldn’t even see me coming. As for the senbon, I would have unknowingly dodged them with my quick dart towards my intended target; as well as the hidden snakes if they had caught upon my trail. I tapped into my inner ki to unleash yet another whim of speed [2/15] immediately after the first shunpo to bring me closer to the armored man into the light of the battlefield only five meters from hotarubi and yuuza.

My left hand just in the halt of my moment would take refuge within the air letting loose the funnel of wind towards his ancles which would render him useless of movement as well as any of those near to him. The wind was bound to find a crease within the armor somewhere beneath the legs and cut him within his Achilles tendons rendering him useless of movement. My right hand simultaneously aimed the kunai at the entrance of his helmet aimed to relieve him of his life. Hotarubi remained on my left and my eyes would never leave her. Though I didn’t want to harm her I would have to if it were my life on the line.

A man that was to my right and another man who seemed to be at alms with the one I was attempting to kill also caught my guard immediately, he too would be captured in this if he weren’t paying attention. There were definitely many people about, my senses stayed keen upon everyone being careful not to make the wrong move.

SPOILER: Click to show

I’m not sure whether or not to hint at your explosion ten-yuu so I didn’t but I’m pretty sure I dodged that. Also lp since you used kamataichi on him from the other side I wouldn’t be able to see that either so I didn’t note it.

EDIT: Just noting. My Dai Kamaitachi would render me unharmed from your C ranked Kamaitachi because I let mine go around the same time as yours IP.

Like moths drawn to a flame, more Nuke/Shinobi flocked on to the battlefield. With her infrared vision still active, not a single one escaped Yuhwa's notice and in tandem with her network -- which stretched 50 meters in every direction -- the only ones likely out of range of her detection was the four people fighting in the middle of the field whose distance she had judged completely wrong before and in fact, she was about twice the distance she stated early from them. Though her snakes could not detect them, normal vision allowed her to keep track of their movements. With everyone still unawares of her presence and most battles underway, it was the most opportune moment to strike.

sword drawn and ready from twenty meters behind the group, fifteen to Ryu's right

Eins. The first to be targeted would be none other than Ip as he stood fifteen meters to the right of Ryu and well within range of Yuhwa's attacks. Simultaneously as his Kamaitachi is let loose would one of her snakes emerge from the ground not too far behind his feet -- silently and unknown to him. With such a massive tornado, it would be impossible for himself to realize what is going on around himself as he was the one who disrupted the majority of the silence around himself. In one quick fluid movement, the snake aimed at one of his legs hoping to sink in with its fangs and inject a deadly poison before retreating back underground. No more than a second and a half later would his body begin to feel the effects of the poison should he be bitten; his body taking on mini-seizures and intense vomiting. With no means to sense his surroundings or even know preemptively that snakes resided in the ground, escape would likely be impossible.

As for the effects of the Kamaitachi, the bladed wind would not even be able to touch a hair on Yuhwa thanks to her snakes. As snakes are able to sense the vibrations in the ground and air, she knew beforehand where the cutters were traveling. This allowed her to easily set up a defense by bringing forth 7 large anaconda-like snakes that would wrap around her and the branch she stood on like a dome. With their bodies made almost entirely of muscle, this was more than enough to fend off the light wind.

Walking 5 meters to his left, a tree on his right that he leaned onto concealing himself from the people outside the pocket of land to his right, and another concealing him to the girl 5 meters to his left; a decent spot he decided.

Zwei. The second to come under attack from Yuhwa would be the Nuke Hop who had tried to conceal himself behind a tree. This target would be the easiest for Yuhwa's snakes to take down as he had blocked off most of his vision by hiding behind not one but two trees. like in the situation with Ip, a snake emerged completely silent from the ground behind him and let loose one quick bite and injecting its poison. He too, in a matter of moments, would fall under the effects of the poison and be removed from combat if he did not escape though this was unlikely. In tandem with not having known Yuhwa had laid out a 50 meter trap, the Kamaitachi let loose by Ip would be more than enough to distract Hop as the snake took action.

I was concealed nicely in the forest brush. I doubt even my "friends noticed" me make an appearance on this side of the country.

I crouched in a ready position to leap and quickly did some hand signs

Drei. The third to go would be Ga-in as he too was in range of the snakes and was in the most prime position to be taken down. By crouching to the ground, he left the snakes a much larger target to strike as a majority of his body was near the ground. Simultaneously as Hop is attacked would the snake emerge from below and slightly behind Ga-in looking to sink its fangs into his body and like the others, inject its poison. Moving ever so silently but quickly, the chances of him not being bitten were low --probably more so than the others. Should he not be able to escape being bitten, he would also fall under the effects of the poison and be a defenseless target. Being in nearly the same position as Hop with the Kamaitachi being a distraction, most of his vision cut off by brush, and no knowledge of the hidden snakes; in all reason it was impossible to escape.

Should the three not be able to escape being bitten -- unlikely as the snakes moved with uncanny speed (6 meters per second) -- and fall under the effects of the poison, then 3 large anaconda-like snakes would emerge from behind all three Nuke and wrap itself around them. Constricting their body with great strength, the snakes would drag the three underground while squeezing the life out of them. Death would be inescapable.

Nan-Kaizou (Way of the Snake - Soften Modification)
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Supplementary / Special Bloodline Technique / Nintaijutsu
Range: Self
Chakra/Stamina: Low
Special: By default, this jutsu allows the user to move one appendages (legs or arms) to stretch. With each rank earned, one more appendage can be stretched at the same time, as well as for longer distances. The head and torso can only be stretched once the user learn the ‘S’ ranked version of this jutsu. Limbs move at the speed of one meter per second.


D: 1 limb @ 10 meters
C: 2 limbs @ 20 meters
B: 3 limbs @ 30 meters
A: 4 limbs @ 40 meters
S: 4 limbs + Neck/Head @ 50 meters


Description: Nan Kaizou is one the most essential Kagehebi Nintaijutsu technique, as it allows a ninja to make their body extremely malleable, much like a snake. It was originally developed for spying activities, but perfected in the hands of the Kagehebi and their natural snake-infused blood. When used the clan member can stretch and twist their body at any angle, allowing them to surprise their opponents, spy on situations normally out of reach, and react much like a snake would. The only drawback is that while malleable, their bodies are highly susceptible to damage in this form as their bone structure is no longer ‘normal’.
Domain: Kagehebi.

Jatai no Daija (Body of the Snake - Limb Speed)
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Passive / Special Bloodline Technique / Nintaijutsu
Range: Self
Chakra/Stamina: --
Special: Determines the speed at which the clan member's limbs move, whether through regular stretching or through technique. Limb speed plus maximum stretching distance determines effectiveness of all clan techniques.


D: 2 meters per second
C: 4 meters per second
B: 6 meters per second
A: 8 meters per second
S: 10 meters per second


Description: Although the shooting speed of a clan member is somewhat set and basic at the start, as they begin to develop their powers and strength as Kagehebi, they are able to make their limb snapping speed quicker and stronger, until their snake-like essence makes them a blur, no longer recognizable by human eye.
Drawback: Kagehebi.

Jatai no Sasori (Body of the Snake - Venom Fangs)
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Supplementary / Special Bloodline Technique / Nintaijutsu
Range: Self
Chakra/Stamina: High
Special: Adds a unique poison to all Kage Hebi related techniques and strikes. Highest rank known determines amount of time needed for bite to sustain before poisoning is successful. Poison comes from a unique snake venom, leaving struck victims to suffer a variety of effects based on its strength (highest rank known.) The only known antidote for this poison is literally the blood of a Kage Hebi being commingled with one's own - the blood of the one that inflicted the victim with the poison has a 90% chance of negating the effects of the poison; the blood of an immediate relative has a 50% chance; the blood of any Kage-Hebi has a 10% chance.


D: Dizziness; lack of focus [1 turn]
C: Nausea & diarrhea; uncontrollable twitching [3/4th's of turn]
B: Poor balance; minor hallucinations [Half of turn]
A: Intense vomiting; mini-seizures [1/4th of turn]
S: No balance; unresponsive limbs [Near-Instant]


Description: Snakes are one of the most venomous creatures of the animal kingdom, an important attribute for survival and dominance. In the case of the Kagehebi, this trait has not been overlooked. With intense training, the clan member can learn to produce a uniquely strong poison which can be added to their clan jutsu in order to leave their victims helpless.
Drawback: Kagehebi.

Description: Senei Jashu is a signature Kagehebi Nintaijutsu technique which allows the clan member to manifest a bundle of quick-striking snakes that extend from the user’s sleeves. The Kagehebi extends his palm and shoots out snakes to attack a target, having them move at impressive speeds and strike with their fangs. Though basic, this variation has been known to subdue even the strongest of foes with a single snake bite.
Domain: Kagehebi. Nan-Kaizou 'D'.

Senei Ta-Jashu (Multiple Hidden Shadow Snake Hands)

Description: An advaced version of Senei Jashu, the Kagehebi now controls a massive amount of snakes at once in order to subdue their opponent. As before, once the user's hand is extended in the direction of their target, a torrent of snakes erupt from the sleeve and manifest onto the chosen target. Once extended the snakes can wrap around and bite into the target to hold and bind them.
Domain: Kagehebi. Nan-Kaizou 'C'. Must know Senei Jashu.

Description: The final evolution within the Senei Jisha tree. Using their snake charming abilities, the Kagehebi can extend large snakes from their sleeves by way of the Senei Jashu, enveloping the target in a flurry of snakes which will coil around the them and bind of impact instantly. The further addition of the user's murderous intent can weaken their target's resolve, and only a giant burst of chakra such as the Gates may break free of the snake's hold, which constricts onto the victim's skin as if the reptiles were comprised of pure iron; digging into the skin and biting, a most horrendous way to expire...
Domain: Kagehebi. Nan-Kaizou 'B'. Must know Senei Ta-Jashu.

Kokoro-Hebi (Snake's Mind)
Rank: C
Type: Special Bloodline Supplementary Jutsu
Range: Self
Chakra/Stamina: Mid
Special: Only applies to the five basic senses; touch, sight, taste, smell, and hearing.
Description: This technique was created to allow Kage-Hebi's to receive the information their snakes acquire. As the Snakes summoned from the Kage-Hebi's body are an extension of themselves, this technique allows the Kage-Hebi to know what each snake it seeing, tasting, smelling, touching, and hearing without the negative side-effects like wounds.
Domain: Kage-Hebi

Gen'ei-Hebi (Snake Vision)
Rank: C
Type: Special Bloodline Supplementary Jutsu

Description: Pit vipers, pythons, and some species of boa possess the ability to "see" the radiated heat from warm-blooded animals through special sensors located between the nostril and eyes. Like many Kage-Hebi techniques, this ability is based off these snakes abilities to see heat and allowing the user to see in infrared. This helps in tracking targets in the dark or when they are hidden by non-transparent objects.
Domain: Kage-Hebi

Chi-Hebi (Earth Snake)
Rank: C
Type: Special Bloodline Passive
Range: Self
Chakra/Stamina: ---
Special: Distance summoned snakes can tunnel is dependent on the users skill in Nan-Kaizou. Speed at which snakes/user tunnels is dependent on the users skill in Jatai no Daija.
Description: According to research, some snakes possess the ability to effectively tunnel into the dirt where they create dens to live in. This technique is based off the snakes ability to tunnel by allowing either the user or their summoned snake companions to tunnel through the ground at high speeds. This ability is useful in pulling off attacks on an unsuspecting for or helping the user to escape dangerous situations.
Domain: Kage-Hebi
