Mastery:

Tier One - Aspect of the Kitten: At this stage, the Nekoshin is still learning to understand and respect their feline partner but has made great strides in emulating the ninneko's behavior. When using Tsume Yueki no Jutsu (Claw Infusion Technique), the chosen claw effect remains indefinitely so long as the Nekoshin remains in the clan's base stance. If they want to switch the effect of the claw, the listed handseals and chakra cost still apply.

Tier Two — Aspect of the Cat: The Nekoshin and the ninneko are growing together, learning together, and are starting to become a true team at this stage. The ritual that mixed their chakra together has had time to mold what was once human into something more, a hybrid creature with the same hearing and smelling ability as a cat (for example, being able to hear whispers from across a room or smelling someone's scent on a piece of clothing). Additionally, their bodies have become more flexible and dexterous to take advantage of the techniques they are learning (adds +1 to their Reflexes trait).

Ninneko Mastery:

Tier One — Feline Knowledge: The ninneko has advanced their understanding of the world, and constant contact with their Nekoshin partner has rendered them more fearsome in battle. At this rank, felines are now capable of human speech in the language their companion speaks, facilitating communication between other people. Additionally, they now have C rank in both the Strength stat and Seals stat.

Tier Two — Feline Grace: At this stage, the ninneko has learned to put brute force behind them and instead focus on how to turn the tides of battle using tactics and schemes. Their Speed stat and Sense stat have both increased to B rank, allowing them to outwit and outrun their enemies. Additionally, the ninneko can now use any universal technique their companion knows, so long as it is physically possible.

{Nekoshin}➤ Shisei Kyuushuu (Assault Stance)
Rank: D
Range: -
Type: Supplementary
Handseals: 1 to activate, 1 to deactivate
Chakra Consumption: Low, Minuscule upkeep

This stance is the basis for all Nekoshin techniques, as the flow of chakra extends and exaggerates the shinobi's feline traits. Their canine teeth elongate further, their nails grow into claws that can be retracted, and the chakra forms ears and a tail that solidify into useful appendages with fur the color of the user's hair. Due to the structural and metaphysical changes, so long as this technique is active, the user can perform high-speed movement.

Note: While in this stance only Nekoshin techniques may be used. Gains +1 in Speed stat. So long as this technique is active, the Nekoshin is capable of seeing in the dark just as well as in the light.

➤  Kaori Jokyo no Jutsu (Scent Removal Technique)
Rank: D
Range: -
Type: Supplementary
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: Low

By channeling chakra into their tongues during a bathing session, the ninneko is capable of completely removing their scent. This gives them an advantage when they are trying to be stealthy, as it allows them to move around with being detected by those with a heightened sense of smell, such as other animals.

Note: Because the ninneko uses this technique, the chakra is drawn from their pool. Lasts for five turns before needing to be reapplied. The ninneko can still be seen, but has no smell whatsoever.

➤  Fukugen Ryoku no Jutsu (Righting Reflex Technique)
Rank: D
Range: -
Type: Supplementary
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: Low per orient

Cats have an interesting innate ability known as the righting reflex, which allows them to orient themselves while falling and always land on their feet. Nekoshin have managed to copy this ability with the use of chakra, giving rise to Fukugen Ryoku no Jutsu. Instead of simply being able to always be right side-up, Nekoshin can orient in any direction, giving them the ability to twist in midair effortlessly.

Note: Requires the Nekoshin to be in Shisei Kyuushuu (Assault Stance) to use.

➤ Kaori Tsuushin no Jutsu (Scent Communication Technique)
Rank: C
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Supplementary
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: Minuscule

Cats naturally produce pheromones unique to each one from glands on their paws, which are used to communicate various messages with other felines. Ninneko have retained this ability, but have increased its usefulness with the aid of chakra. By infusing these scent glands with a small amount, the scent increases in intensity and longevity. Should the ninneko or Nekoshin touch their paw/hand against something with Kaori Tsuushin no Jutsu active, it will mark them for a period of time with the scent that only other felines can smell.

Note: Requires the Nekoshin to be in Shisei Kyuushuu (Assault Stance) to use. The ninneko can use this technique at any time, but the chakra is taken from their pool. Scent lasts for 10 turns, regardless of whether the marked one leaves the thread. The scent can be removed if the marked item is removed, or if the marked one bathes.

➤ Suterusu no Jutsu (Stealth Technique)
Rank: C
Range: -
Type: Supplementary
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: Minuscule per turn

Ninneko are silent, deadly hunters, and over time they have passed on their knowledge and techniques to their human companions. When the Nekoshin is in the Assault Stance, they can supply their limbs with a small amount of chakra to replicate the stealthiness of a cat. They can walk silently, climb silently, jump silently, and even land silently, making them the perfect assassins.

Note: Requires the Nekoshin to be in Shisei Kyuushuu (Assault Stance) to use. Although this technique makes them abnormally silent in movement, certain situations will still produce noise, such as stepping on a branch.

➤ Migaru Chouyaku no Jutsu (Nimble Leap Technique)
Rank: B
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m), Far (10m+)
Type: Supplementary
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: Low

Felines are particularly nimble creatures, capable of jumping up to five times their height in a single bound. Migaru Chouyaki no Jutsu (Nimble Leap Technique) is a Nekoshin technique modeled after this skill. While in the Assault Stance, the Nekoshin can direct a flow of chakra into their limbs (two or four) and jump up to 15 meters in the air, depending on how much strength they use.

Note: Requires the Nekoshin to be in Shisei Kyuushuu (Assault Stance) to use. Maximum jump height is 15 meters, but the Nekoshin can jump a shorter distance if desired.

➤ Tsume Yueki no Jutsu (Claw Infusion Technique)
Rank: B
Range: -
Type: Supplementary
Handseals: 2
Chakra Consumption: Low

After performing a short series of handseals, the Nikoshin or ninneko focuses their chakra into their hands. By quickly retracting their claws, they are able to infuse the nails with their chakra in complex ways, such that when the claws are unsheathed again they have a new purpose. This allows them to increase their utility or fighting prowess in times of need.
Nobori Tsume: The chakra infused in these claws allows adherence to nearly any surface without extreme effort, except for metal. In that case, the claws must be in-bed into the surface to get a good grip, which takes a bit of additional time.

Yamai Tsume: The chakra infused in these claws is capable of causing negative side effects in those who are wounded by them. In particular, a scratch will cause nausea and disorientation. It takes one turn for the effects to be felt, and they last for one turn. While the effect can be continually applied after the duration ends, it cannot be stacked.

Ketsueki Tsume: The chakra infused in these claws is perhaps the most deadly of all. Wounds caused by the claws bleed freely due to their serrated edges, and thus the wounds are also slow to heal unless treated.
Note: This technique lasts a total of two turns, or until it is used again to replace the claws. Requires the Nekoshin to be in Shisei Kyuushuu (Assault Stance) to use. The ninneko can use this technique at any time, but the chakra is taken from their pool.

➤ Tsume Kama (Claw Sickle)
Rank: B
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: Low

A ninneko is never without a trick up its sleeve and having studied the tactics of their companions Nekoshin have learned to be just as sneaky. When the Nekoshin swipes at an opponent, they can quickly surge a small amount of chakra into their claws, producing corporeal blades of energy that follow the same path as the attack. These blades are capable of dealing massive damage to those unaware and unprotected, ripping through cloth and flesh alike.

Note: Requires the Nekoshin to be in Shisei Kyuushuu (Assault Stance) to use. The ninneko can use this technique at any time, but the chakra is taken from their pool. This claw attack is effectively an extension of their actual claws, and will take on the effects of Tsume Yueki no Jutsu (Claw Infusion Technique). The blades are approximately the width of the claw that produces them, and can travel for 5 meters before dissipating.

{Fuuton}➤ Kaze Bakudan (Wind Bomb)
Rank: D
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: 2
Chakra Consumption: Low per 2 shots

Kaze Bakudan is a Ninjutsu technique which utilizes the Wind Element. After performing two handseals the user creates a highly condensed ball of wind, about the size of a baseball, in the palm of their hand.

Rank: C
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m)
Type: Offensive, Defensive
Handseals: 3
Chakra Consumption: Low

Fuusajin is a Ninjutsu technique which utilizes the Wind Element. After performing a set of handseals the user channels their chakra into their limb or weapon. When it is swung, it produces a current of wind that picks up dirt and dust, covering the surrounding area. The initial blast is capable of knocking over opponents that are hit with it, and the debris may serve to inhibit proper vision until it settles.

➤  Kamaitachi (Cutting Whirlwind)
Rank: C
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: 5
Chakra Consumption: Mid

Kamaitachi is a Ninjutsu technique which utilizes the Wind Element. After performing a set of handseals, the user swings either their arm or a weapon, producing a blast of wind imbued with their chakra. Once an opponent is caught by this wind a tornado will raise them into the air, keeping them imprisoned with its fast gusts. It then begins to cut them with slicing currents.

Note: Only one opponent can be trapped at a time. An equal amount of force can be used to break out from the tornado.

➤  Kaiten Shuriken (Rotating Shuriken)
Rank: B
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m)

{Universal Taijutsu}➤  Kaiten Kakatou Otoshi (Spinning Heel Drop)
Rank: C
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: Miniscule
A very basic but effective taijutsu attack, the Kaiten involves the user's leg in a reverse downward kick. After launching themselves into the air and begin to somersault, the user gains momentum within the chosen striking limb and come spinning down, laying their heels into the target's shoulders and head.

Note: If this kick connects with the opponent’s head, they will be stunned for one full turn.

➤ Hien (Flying Swallow)
Rank: B
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: High to cast, Mid to sustain.
By consciously feeding their chakra into any bladed weapon, the user will manage to extend the length of the weapon by providing an extra extension of visible chakra. This creation will yield an extremely sharp edge that functions like the normal blade itself. By seeing only the user's bladed weaponry, the opponent may miss the Hien and misjudge how far they need to move to avoid an incoming strike. As a result, even if they manage to avoid the metal portion of the blade, the chakra portion may cut into them as well.

{Universal Ninjutsu}➤ Shunshin no Jutsu (Body Flicker Technique)
Rank: D
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m)
Type: Supplementary
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: Miniscule

Shunshin no Jutsu is a basic Ninjutsu technique used across the shinobi world by all, ranging from the most basic shinobi to the legends of lore. Considered a high-speed movement technique - to an observer caught in the optical illusion, it appears as if the user has teleported. This allows the user to escape or attack suddenly, should they need to. However, while a high-speed movement, if used in broad daylight, one will still be quite visible and as such, easier to be defended against. In order to achieve maximum effect, the user must combine it with a distraction.

Note: Despite popular belief, this is not an ability that allows an individual to teleport, or even move incomprehensibly fast. It simply combines high mobility with some disruption of visibility to conceal those movements. That in mind, if you can conceal your movement, it is common for this technique to allow very long-distance dashes before enemies may notice you.

➤  Kai (Release)
Rank: D
Range: -
Type: Supplementary
Handseals: 1
Chakra Consumption: Equivalent to affected Genjutsu + Miniscule / Equivalent to affected Genjutsu if done by another

Kai is a Ninjutsu technique which allows the ninja to avoid the effects of a Genjutsu illusion. After forming the needed handseals, the Genjutsu technique will not affect the ninja. The ninja can also use the technique on another individual who was unable to avoid the attack. After forming the needed hand seals, the ninja touches the one affected to end the affect of the spell.

➤ Kage Shuriken no Jutsu (Shadow Shuriken Technique)
Rank: D
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m), Far (10m+)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: Miniscule

A simple technique where two shuriken, like the Fūma Shuriken, are piled one onto another and thrown simultaneously. However, depending on the way it's used, it can prove its absolute efficiency. The trick is to somehow draw the enemy's attention towards the upper shuriken. Then, they have to deal with the path of the lower, unnoticed shuriken. However, if the enemy notices both shuriken, the technique ends up losing all of its efficiency.

➤  Soushuriken no Jutsu (Manipulated Shuriken Technique)
Rank: D
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m), Far (10m+)
Type: Supplementary
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: Miniscule

With this technique a translucent string, both elastic and highly durable, is attached to a shuriken, making it possible to alter its path after having thrown it. An expert will have the ability to freely glide the shuriken in any direction with just a single movement of their fingertip. The first attack, challenging the enemy, is avoided and after a time-lag of several seconds, it will come from behind. Depending on the performance, the possible tactics can be infinite.

Note: By combining this technique with a Chidori enhancement, the user may cause the wire to break the Shuriken apart into multiple sharp slabs that can be directed by the user.  

➤ Soushuuha (Manipulate Advancing Blades)
Rank: C
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: 4
Chakra Consumption: Miniscule

Soushuuha is a Ninjutsu technique used in order to give aerial projectiles a slight edge in combat. After the needed handseals, this technique allows the user to hover multiple projectiles (a maximum of five), like kunai, in the air while they approach a target. They can then unleash a torrent of projectiles much faster than if each was thrown individually.
