Ninjutsu (忍術; Literally meaning "Ninja Techniques") refers to any technique that utilises chakra and allows the user to perform actions that a normal person otherwise would be incapable of doing. Unlike genjutsu, which causes the opponent to experience illusions, the effects of ninjutsu are actual and physical in most cases. Ninjutsu relies on chakra and, most of the time, hand seals to be effective.

The hands are put in sequential positions that molds and manipulates chakra in the necessary manner to perform a technique. This is not always needed, however, and some techniques become second nature to experienced ninja, after which they can perform them at will. Additionally, many ninjutsu can be classified as an elemental techniques, in those cases where a specific element (wind, water, fire, earth, or lightning) is used.

Endan (Fireball)
Rank: C
Type: Offensive / Katon Ninjutsu
Range: See special!
Handseals: Yes

Domain: Katon. Enkou Shinka 'B'. Endan.

Type: Supplementary / Ninjutsu
Range: 0 - 5 meters
Handseals: No.
Chakra: Very Low

However, the technique itself can only be used once per turn, regardless of retraining. Requires the user to switch with objects equal or smaller in size; cannot switch with other living people or animals.
Description: This jutsu lets the user quickly switch places with another nearby object, such as a plant (normally a section of a log), an animal, the moment an attack hits.

Aside from the obvious lessons one would learn from a Ninja Academy, all students receive essential knowledge, such as reading, writing, mathematics, science, geography, strategy, tactics etc. But finally, they are taught the basics for the three arts; Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, and Genjutsu.

Taijutsu (体術; Literally meaning "Body Techniques") is a basic form of techniques that typically does not require chakra, though chakra may be used to enhance its techniques. Taijutsu generally require no hand seals to perform, occasionally making use of certain stances or poses, and are much quicker to use than ninjutsu or genjutsu. Taijutsu is simply put: hand-to-hand combat.

Rank: D, C1 Mastery, B2 Masteries, A3 Masteries
Type: Offensive / Taijutsu

Domain: Tenjouken.


Keibi no Kougeki (Strike Guard)
Rank: C
Type: Offensive / Defensive / Taijutsu
Range: Self
Chakra: Mid
Special: Blocks 'C-rank' taijutsu attacks and below. Works great with 'Heaven's Gift'.
Description: When fighting against another Taijutsu user, Tenjouken users find that the best defense is in a good offense. That is, when they are put on the defense, they instead attack. When moving to guard an attack, instead of simply blocking or swatting the attack away, they strike at the body of the incoming attack in order to stop it (i.e. if a punch is coming, instead of swatting it away, the user will strike at the forearm or elbow of the incoming punch, thereby deflecting and attacking at the same time). If a weapon is used, they attempt to close in and strike at the body holding the weapon.
Domain: Tenjouken.

Chakra: Mid
Special: Starts with two kicks. Each time retrained adds another kick, to a max of seven.

Cunning Mind
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Passive / Specialized Taijutsu / Kendo
Range: 0-5 Meters
Chakra: N/A
Special: Allows the user to become highly perceptive of their opponent, allowing them to analyze their mannerisms in order to zone in on weaknesses and vulnerable areas to strike. It is important to note that while this does not automatically grant the user evasion against one single attack, this allows the user to have a much, much improved chance at understanding a Taijutsu attack one rank lower than the highest one known.
Description: Through repeated duals, clashing of swords and study of adversaries, the user has gained an uncanny knack for analysis. This manifests itself in numerous ways, such as discovering hidden weaknesses, finding vulnerable points in both weapons and attire as well determining the opportune moment to strike by observing patterns.

Type: Passive / Specialized Taijutsu / Kendo
Range: 0-5 Meters

C: 3/4 th of a Turn
B: Half a Turn
A: 1/4 ^th of a Turn
S: Near-Instant

The Gentleman's art is the use of a rapier, foil, sabre or epee in tactical combat. A game for nobles and royalty usually, it's very seldomly found it's way to the lower societies however.

While incredibly complicated, when utilized properly, The Gentleman's Art can have dramatic results. Most potential users never pick it up sadly, as the patience and focus necessary tends to allude most.

The man that saved Ashur from starvation, the man that saved Ashur from living from being average, the man that truly made him who he is. At a young age, Ashur found himself without a family, abandoned so they could avoid starving themselves, they would then leave Kirigakure entirely to escape the violence. This left young Ashur to fend for himself, and he was always out numbered. But, never did he give up, and never did he lose. Still, male nutrition from the start left him weaker than he should have been, and on the verge of death. For by time he had fought off the other beggars and such, he would be exhausted, unable to claim the morsel of food as his prize as a sneaky thief would nap it as he attempted to regain his little bit of strength.

But, it was the day that Ashur was seen scrapping with a much older boy, one of the lowest in the ranks of Kouketsu Uchiha's criminal empire, that Ashur would see Kouketsu up and personal. The man uttered a simple sentence as they paused in their fight. "It's to the death then..."

Met during a mission to the edges of the smallest island in the chain of Mizu no Kuni, Ashur was tracking down a sea-serpent, a young one. The mission was to stop and kill the beast before it was able to mature into a truly dangerous foe, that and it was hassaling in coming shipments of various things needed to keep a criminal empire funded. Still young, a fresh year under the wing of Kouketsu, Ashur was entrusted with this and a small band of simple gang members. But, the beast was deadlier than any of it's age and some older. The beast had actually the capability to think and plan ahead, even speak. Killing the entire force of men he had brought with him, Ashur was left on his own, even injured. Yet, the timely arrival of an unknown Kage-Hebi lead to the sea-serpent being executed without pause and with brutal efficiency. The man wasn't very talkative, but the two nursed their wounds together.

Giving each other their names and hardly anything else, the two parted ways. But, over the years while doing various things that lead him into the various islands of Mizu no Kuni, as well when he ventured out into other countries, Ashur ran into Kain. The two formed a friendship, though not your common buddy buddy type friendship. Instead the two were hardly able to tolerate each other after a while, when they aren't cracking jokes, their at each other's throats with threats. But, it never left Ashur's mind on how without Kain showing up that fateful day, that he'd possibly be dead. To this he owes Kain dearly, and has the man's back despite the quarrels they have from time to time, and likes to think Kain is the same way towards him.

۞ Physical Appearance;
Monstrous. If there is such a thing as a perfect human specimen when it comes to their physical body...Then Ashur has taken it a step further. Having increased his muscle mass considerably in the past few years, Ashur has come a along way from his younger years. As he had originally been a rather fragile looking boy, nigh down to his skin and bones simply. From his neck to his calves, Ashur's amount of muscle is incredible and not only that, but the tone he has is also quite noticeable. Though his upper body does seem a bit larger than his lower body. His chiseled body is kept at a pale tone due to the little to no time he spends out side of the dark and gloomy Mizu no Kuni and Kirigakure. Light onyx eyes only compliment his skin tone, along with his oddly dark blond hair, a unique shade to himself. Clean shaven, entirely, Ashur opts to keep his skin rather moisturized with lotions as well, a slight tendency of his, believing the feeling of irradiated dry skin to be comparable to the most painful of Genjutsu.

With his large arms being partially covered with large purple coloured tattoos, he is quick to adjust what people view them as. Some see them as wings, others see them as leaves surrounding an orb. But, in reality they are meant to show an artist's view on the sun. A simple orb surrounded by jutting flames, though the flames do not encircle the orb entirely. Though, in truth they are meant to be the wings of a dragon, something he believes he gained metaphorically when he joined Kouketsu's criminal empire. Other than these tattoos his body is clean of other tattoos as well as piercings. Ashur holds a height of six feet and six inches and weighs in at two hundred and seventy one pounds.

---

In recent times, Ashur has taken to cutting back on the mass of muscle, believing it partly restricted his full capabilities. Along with this he has taken to keeping his hair shorter and kept in a covered pony tail. Adding another addition to his tattoo series, he's taken to having several markings beneath each eye made as well as an odd symbol upon his back.

۞ Clothing;
Why cover up such a marvelous body with a surplus of clothing? Is how Ashur would describe his attire. Practically naked from the waist up he only wears a folded bandana around his head, including a portion of his hair, and arm bands that cover the majority of his forearms. He also keeps white wrapping around his neck, similar to other Kirigakure shinobi, leaving him with a way to mask the lower portion of his face should he feel the need to. White bandages surround his wrist for support, and just above the wraps are the orange coloured furry puffs that are seemingly kept in place by his arm bands and the wrist wrap. Lower body wise though he opts to wear fine pin stripe pants, with the primary color being of a light blue which is common within Kirigakure, and simple black pin stripes. His shoes/boots are probably the only basic thing of his attire, a simple black without decoration. Though his more standout article of clothing is his tiger skin cloth, fur lined, that he keeps around his waist with a black band. A trophy of his first kill, formerly worn as a cape/over coat of sorts when he was younger. Along with this he wears dark pants as well as high socks. To keep his pants in check he wears a length sash tied around his waist.

---

Recently Ashur has begun to change his physical appearance along with his attire. The changes include wearing lightly armoured plated sleeved and collared jacket/vest of sorts, which leaves the majority of his upper body still uncovered.

۞ Alignment ;
Lawful Evil

---

Currently in question.

۞ Personality ;
A simple man, Ashur strays away from politics, he doesn't have a mind or drive for it. Though he shouldn't be thought of as slow or dumb by any means, he merely doesn't go out of his way to learn a lot of things. More so of a loyalist he'll follow the laws provided and will listen to his leaders without pause. Which brings us to his thoughts on Kouketsu Uchiha. The man that made Ashur who he was, molded him into a true shinobi. In his mind Kouketsu is the greatest, past, present, as well as the future. Having been taken in when he was younger and trained, along with given housing, food, and a the like, Kouketsu holds a dear place within Ashur's heart. Considering the man to be his Father figure, he's made it clear that he'd follow Kouketsu over any and all.

Though when Kouketsu left after the destruction of Konohagakure, many were left behind. This included Ashur, though he understood why it had to be done. As such he quickly took to following Kirigakure once more, following it's coming and going Mizukage. Following their demands without pause, similar to how he would Kouketsu. When it comes to his fellow villagers, he seeks to help them, though has given up on the poor and weak. But, if he sees one who's worth is merely behind a bit of muck, he'll try his best to elevate them, as Kouketsu had done with him. but, when it comes to outsiders, Ashur is rather harsh. Acting as if any and all outsiders have harmed him in the past, giving them nothing, but dirty looks and hardly speaking to them.

Though one man did make it through his harsh personality to outsiders. None other than the Kage-Hebi known as Kain. He had met the man in the wilderness of Mizu no Kuni, with Kain aiding Ashur in defeating a young sea-serpent. From there the two hit it off and though Ashur considers Kain an ally, the two frequently get on each others nerves. And despite the slight lack of trust, Ashur has Kain's back should he need it and likes to think Kain is the same way with Ashur.

In recent years Ashur has become more so likely to appear lazy, less thrilled to do things such as missions. This is merely a facade, though only roughly 45% of it is. The other 55% is simply boredom. Kirigakure in his eyes has become a shell of it's former self, falling away from the blood and war that had created it and kept it stable for so long. Yet, it still has hope for it, namely Kouketsu returning and taking it by force once more.

---

Due to recent events and revelations, Ashur finds himself becoming a much more serious, understanding, as well as careless individual. He's learned from mistakes and he's grown stronger physically as well as mentally because of them.
