Welcome to Gaia! ::

___The Nara Way:
The Nara clan (奈良一族, Nara Ichizoku) or Nara family (奈良家, Nara-ke) is known for their manipulation of shadows and tending of deer, which graze in a large area of Nara clan forest. They have kept a book with medicine preparations and effects for generations which imply they are skilled in the area of medicine. Among the medicine described in this book are the secret pills used by the Akimichi clan.

Despite being considered geniuses, the men from this family are prone to being lazy and hard to motivate, but once the situation calls for it, they are very determined and loyal. Ironically, they tend to be attracted to stern, overbearing women. However, there appear to be other factors as well. The Nara men seem to hold women in high esteem, and as a result, willingly defer to their female partners. Shikaku Nara tells his son "Without women, men can't be born. Without women, men go to ruin. Even the hardest of women will show a sweet side to the man she loves and respects."

The Nara clan seems to have a special relationship with the Akimichi clan and Yamanaka clan. For at least two generations, members of these three families have formed an "Ino-Shika-Chō trio", named after the first part of the names of the members. The Nara members are the "Shika" in the trio. "Ino", "Shika" and "Chō" are the names of three cards needed for a highly prized trick of "Inoshikachō" in the Hanafuda.

___Traits:
• The Nara learn ninjutsu one [1] post faster.
• When dealing with typical life tasks, the Nara show little passion.
• Adversely, in serious situations, the Nara can show extreme dedication.
• Some Nara abilities are referred to as Kageton, or Shadow Release.

___Restrictions:
• Shadows are required to use most Nara abilities.
• Nearly any form of light will dispel Nara shadow abilities.

___Techniques:
Kageton: Endai Yami [ Shadow Release: Far Reaching Darkness ]
Rank D
The user gathers their shadow onto their arms, generating a pair of long black gloves. Whence formed, the focused shadow can be extended or retracted depending on the amount of available darkness. These shadow gloves can then be manipulated as extra-malleable limbs.

Kageton: Kage Kibou [ Shadow Release: Shadow Trick ]
Rank C
The user will manipulate a shadow in such a way as to hide the true appearance of an obstacle or person. This is done by forming patches over holes, or masks over faces. With additional manipulation, the shadow can be made ever more deceptive.

Kageton: Kage no Yaiba [ Shadow Release: Shadow Blade ]
Rank C
The user will gather their own shadow into their hand in order to create a false blade. Whence formed, the focused shadow can be extended or retracted depending on the amount of available darkness. Unfortunately, the blade formed this way has very minimal cutting abilities- often compared to a generic sword.

Kageton: Nami no Gengetsu [ Shadow Release: Wave of the Crescent Moon ]
Rank C
The user presses their hand against a shadow, not necessarily their own, and then pushes it forward. The shadow will rise up roughly six feet, making it appear to be a tall, thin black ocean wave, and swiftly travel across whatever surface it originated from. Rather than possessing impact and pushing power, the black wave has an incredible amount of cutting potential, slicing through trees like butter.

Kage Kubi Shibari no Jutsu [ Shadow Neck Bind Technique ]
Rank C
After capturing an opponent with the Shadow Imitation Technique, the user can then further extend their shadow up to the target's throat in the shape of a hand, which chokes them to death. Also, if the Shadow Imitation Technique isn't making the opponent copy their movements, this can be used to bind the opponent's body in a restraining fashion. The closer the user is to their opponent, the tighter the strangle will become. This technique cannot be used for an extended period of time and weakens with each passing minute.

Kagemane no Jutsu [ Shadow Imitation Technique ]
Rank C
The Shadow Imitation Technique allows the user to extend their shadow for as far as it has sufficient area and shade. Once it comes into contact with a target's shadow, the two merge and the target is forced to imitate the user's movements. Therefore, the two can throw shuriken at each other at the same time if the user desires (of course, to prevent hurting themselves, the user just has to have the shuriken holster in a place where you don't normally have it, like the back, so that the opponent draws nothing when the user draws a shuriken). If the target is out of range, the user can produce a better light source to increase their shadow's size or rely on preexisting shadows for their shadow to freely travel through. It's also possible to split one's shadow, either to trap more opponents at once, or to create a distraction.
The major downside of the Shadow Imitation is that it is tiring to use repeatedly; Hidan notes that the ability is subject to some form of diminishing return and decreases in potency after repeated use (Shikamaru can only maintain it for 5 minutes per use). If the user is low on chakra, the performance rate of the technique also deteriorates. Insufficient lighting will make the technique less effective. A particularly strong opponent can also resist the shadow's forced imitation.
• Easily broken if used on the same opponent more than two [2] times in a fight.

Kagemane Shuriken no Jutsu [ Shadow Imitation Shuriken Technique ]
Rank B
The user will entrust a projectile weapon with a sufficient amount of chakra. They will then fling the enhanced projectile at the opponent's shadow in an attempt to make any contact. If the projectile pierces the shadow and sticks into a surface, the afflicted opponent will be overcome by the Shadow Imitation technique.
• Easily broken if used on the same opponent more than two [2] times in a fight. ( Same counter as Shadow Imitation technique. )

Kage Nui no Jutsu [ Shadow Sewing Technique ]
Rank B
The user changes the shape of their shadow into several sharp needles and controls each separately. They can then attack, like rising spikes, several targets simultaneously and at the same time snatch away their ability to move by sewing them stuck with the shadow threads. Because it is a physical attack, it is impossible to capture someone without harming them, but on the other hand, since the speed of invocation and the time of duration are excellent, it can be used when urgent restraint is required.
This technique is usually used to go through the target and capture them, but depending on the opponent, it can also be used as an attack to bring them down. This special characteristic finds its greatest effect when used as logistical support. After this technique hits someone, it can then be directly transformed back into the Shadow Imitation Technique.

Kageton: Kage no Gugen [ Shadow Release: Embodiment of Shadow ]
Rank A
The user draws up their entire shadow around their body, channeling chakra through it in order to mold it into some form of beast ( user's choice. ) This shadow shell operates as both a defense and an offense, as it grants the wearer improved physical strength and defense, while weighing literally nothing. Additionally, because the Nara are capable of controlling shadows, the shell can be manipulated to perform other techniques, or as simple limb transformations. Unfortunately, this also means that light sources can dispel the shell.
• Lasts [10] posts.

Kageyose no Jutsu [ Shadow Endgame Technique ]
Rank A
This technique places emphasis on the minute control of the shadow's movements. It is even accurate enough to make the tentacles it forms go through tiny holes. Basically, this technique takes the user's own shadow and transforms and stretches it into countless thin tentacles, which are then used to grab objects and pull them in. Also, one can skillfully make use of the tentacle-shaped shadow tendrils by using them to lift up and throw weapons like kunai and so forth. This technique has many possible applications and uses. There are no hand seals used for this technique, but the hand movements resemble that of Gaara's Sand Binding Coffin.

Kage no Gengetsu Mori [ Shadow of Crescent Moon Forest ]
Rank S
The user forces their shadow to expand in all directions, covering an areal radius of up to 30 yards. The shadow formed this way is extremely durable, dispelled only by direct contact with a light source, and atop that, if the light source fades from an area that was previously dispelled, it will regenerate. From the field of shadow, the user is able to call up hundreds of stretching, pure black hands and claws. Similar to the [ Shadow Neck Bind Technique ], these hands are strong enough to strangle or simply snap the neck of those within their grasp.
Because of its method, the user must remain stationary at the shadow's center in order to maintain the technique.

H i s t o r y:
Famous within Kumogakure, the Storm Release bloodline enjoys a long yet well hidden history. Members of the family usually have hot tempers, act before thinking, have a stylized 'Lightning' (雷) tattoo, sport a darkened skin from hard training in the sun, but retain a marvelously blond head of hair. They are also fiercely loyal to their family and village, having never had a member go rogue. A unique naming scheme permeates through the family, having some with names consisting of the English alphabet or being a pun upon a word.

T r a i t s:
• Ranton users have Raiton [ Lightning ] and Suiton [ Water ] as chakra elements.
• Ranton users have a tattoo of the kanji "lightning" (雷) on their body.
• Most Ranton users have a fierce loyalty, comparable to that of the Hatake.
• Most Ranton users have short fuses, but this is not a must.
• Most Ranton users have darker skin, but this is not a must.
• Most Ranton users have very pure and bright hair, but this is not a must.
• Rantan users are able to learn Raiton [ Lightning ] and Suiton [Water] ninjutsu one [1] post faster.
• All Ranton users are born with a special attribute, listed below.

A t t r i b u t e:
• Black Lightning: Raiton techniques are black in color; slightly increasing their power, while reducing visibility.

B a s i s:
Reizaa Saakasu [ Laser Circus ]
Manipulating their ability to mold Raiton and Suiton, the user will perform the needed handsign and release threads of "liquid lightning" from their freehand. Because of their composition and formation, these beams deal both impact and electric damage. The user is also able to bend these beams toward their target in order to deliver pinpoint strikes.
Each beam costs [10] chakra to form, and [5] chakra to bend.
• Requires [12] posts to learn.

T e c h n i q u e s:
Hikari no Haikiryou [ Displacement of Light ]
Rank E
An add-on specifically for clones. The clone(s) will be encompassed by wobbling light patterns, which will cause it to appear to all but the user as either much larger or much smaller than it really is.

Ikatsu [ Threatening ]
Rank E
A basic Ranton ability in which the user will slap an object and have a thunder sound emit from that spot. The noise is loud enough to overlap most other sounds for a brief moment. If used offensively, a slap directly to the opponent can cause temporary deafness.

Saegiritte [ Interrupting ]
Rank D
Using one's hands as if they're using a slingshot, the user will pull back one hand and let loose. Three to five small white clouds will shoot towards the target in a straight line. Upon impact, the projectiles will stick and roll about the target as if an adhesive fluid. After setting for a short amount of time (1 post), the clouds will expand roughly two-fold, rendering the target a bit more susceptible to electricity, in addition to having some movement complications.
• Each cloud sticks for three [3] posts.

Kumogatta [ Cloud Formations ]
Rank D
A basic Ranton ability in which the user will create a human sized gray cloud, in any shape they desire, and push it off to drift for a little while (2 posts). Anyone or thing that comes into contact with this cloud will feel a moderate shock so long as they are within it.

Hikari no Kekkai [ Light's Barrier ]
Rank C
After the needed handsigns are performed, a plate of fuzzy light appears upon the user's chest. This light will strike down light to medium projectiles, and is capable of protecting against explosives by quickly shelling over the entire body.
• Lasts three [3] posts.

Amagumo [ Rain Clouds ]
Rank C
This technique condenses moisture in the air to form an overcast sky. It should be noted that this technique does not cover much area, and after being performed it still takes roughly four [4] posts before the clouds form and break open. ( Only takes two [2] posts, if clouds are already present. )

Kumoritte [ Becoming Cloudy ]
Rank C
Stretching both hands outward, the user releases a continual mass of nearly pitch black clouds which almost utterly demolish visibility. This string of black clouds will continue for as long as the user's hands are outstretched, expanding at roughly 100 yards per post.
• Badly affected by the wind.

Kumo no Fukushuu [ Arachnid's Revenge ]
Rank B
Similar to [ Kumoritte, ] the user will release a string of black clouds from their hands at roughly 100 yards per post. However, unlike Kumoritte which is merely used to disable visibility, these black clouds hold a creeping secret. Within the darkness lurks hundreds of tiny "thunder legs;" chakra created creatures which give off a small amount of light and emit an electric charge from each of their eight legs. In small amounts, the feeling of their legs on one's body is almost therapeutic, but in leagues these critters are capable of delivering an intense shock.
• Badly affected by the wind.

Makaze [ Devil's Storm ]
Rank B
Aiming their hand at their target, the user releases a capturing projectile in the fashion of a black cloud lump which expands and engulfs on impact. Once the target is encased by this cloud, they will immediately be electrocuted, rendering them either unconscious for an indefinite amount of time, or paralyzed for a moderate period (3 posts).

Raiton: Kurobansa [ Lightning Release: Black Panther ]
Rank A
The user performs a single handsign and tucks it close to their body, from here a substantial amount of black lightning will surge about their torso. By aiming the still held handsign, the user releases a mass of black lightning in the shape of a panther-like creature to electrocute their target. Because of its size and overall power, the panther is capable of causing severe damage if full contact is made.

Raiun • Honba [ Storm Cloud • Home ]
Rank A
The user releases black clouds from one hand while performing handsigns with the other. The spray of clouds will coil around and encompass on the user, forming a mass of electrically charged darkness. If anyone else ventures within the mass of clouds, they will almost instantaneously be assaulted by various electric surges, which will continue to barrage the body until said person leaves. Because of their nearly nonexistent weight, the user is free to move around at a lessened pace with this cover of electric pillows so long as they hold the single handsign.
• Lasts for [6] posts or until released.

» Raiun • Douki [ Storm Cloud • Pulsation ]
Rank C
Extending the electric composition of [ Raiun • Honba, ] the user will use their free hand to deliver a solid palm thrust from within the clouds to send out a bulb of pure electricity at a rather high velocity. Unfortunately, because the clouds are so difficult to see through, the user typically has to have developed some method to get passed this, lest they literally be shooting in the dark.
• Obtained when [ Raiun • Honba ] is learned.

» Raiun • Dendou Ranpi [ Storm Cloud • Electric Dissipation ]
Rank C
Rather than simply letting [ Raiun • Honba ] end, the user will supply additional chakra to the clouds before casting them off. Now, rather than simply fading away, the black clouds will cause an electric burst.
• Obtained when [ Raiun • Honba ] is learned.

Hongumori [ Low-Cloud Overcast ]
Rank S
With a simple snap of the fingers, the user causes overhead clouds in the area to become physically heavy, forcing them to fall rather quickly to the ground. Everyone, including the user, feels the weight of these fallen fluffs, causing movement to become a struggle. ( Moving through piles of snow, is a good example. ) Then, starting with the most conductive objects in the affected area, severe surges of lightning will indiscriminately occur within the white.
• Lasts [5] posts.
• Can only be performed once per fight.

Hijutsu: Ryuuki Boufuuryuu [ Secret Technique: Rising Dragon Storm ]
Rank S
The user takes aim with both hands, builds up chakra, and then releases a twisting torrent of black clouds at the target at an impressive speed. While twisting, the black clouds will separate and converge multiple times, as if dragons clashing during a fight. This odd display can be rather confusing for first time opponents... or, victims, rather. When the attack finally makes impact, the clouds will cluster, swirl, and electrocute a rather well sized area. Then, just as the technique seems to be coming to an end, the user will perform one last handsign, and the clouds will coil and spin into a miniature storm tornado. Although it only gives a few rotations, the second half of this technique is just as, if not more so lethal as the first.

Jutsu:

Blinding Eye - A Rank
The user's eyes glow an extremely bright red causing any active Dojutsu other than the Ranmaru Eyes to be deactivated for a short period of time. In the process of suppressing the Dojutsu, other clan traits are diminished and no jutsu associated with the clan can be performed.
( 5 posts )

Blood Thirst - A Rank
The users eyes glow an extremely dark red color, and their body tenses up as their adrenaline spikes. For the duration of this technique the user is granted enhanced senses, as well as physical strength. This allows them to move in ways that most Genjutsu specialists couldn't imagine. The user becomes enraged and attacks wildly for a short period of time. ( 3 Posts )

Ultimate Genjutsu: Eternal Rain of Blood - S Rank
This is the epitome of what a Genjutsu should be. It is on the same level as that of the Uchiha clan's secret Genjutsu. However, this Genjutsu can effect multiple opponents and is guaranteed to destroy the mind of a single target if they are the only focus of the attack. This jutsu, just like the Mangekyou Sharingan, lasts only a moment, but is completely based upon the target's state of mind. Instead of the repeated impaling of Itachi, this technique forces the target's brain to believe that they have lived through a literal eternity of gruesome deaths but not had the good fortune to actually die. If the opponent does not find a way to disrupt the focus of the jutsu then the effects become permanent and their RPC's mind is destroyed.
-Does not require eye contact but requires a charge time where the user can no longer see. (3 Posts)
-What the target sees is created by the target but must include description of at least one death.
-Ranmaru user can not use anymore bloodline techniques for the rest of the battle after using this jutsu.

___The Uchiha Tale:
The Uchiha clan descended from the elder of the two sons of the Sage of the Six Paths. The elder brother was born with the Sage's "eyes" and was gifted with powerful chakra and spiritual abilities. When it came time for the Sage to choose a successor, he questioned the two on what course of action they would follow to bring order to the world. The elder believed that might was the way to bring peace, while the younger believed love was the way. The Sage favored the ideal of the younger brother, and therefore designated the younger as his successor, causing the elder to be filled with jealousy and hatefulness. From the younger son descended the Senju clan who would be the eternal rivals of the Uchiha.
Before the founding of the ninja villages, the Uchiha were one of the many mercenary clans for hire. Because of their Sharingan, the Uchiha clan came to be known as one of the two strongest clans, the second being the Senju clan. Madara Uchiha was particularly powerful, and, upon attaining the Mangekyō Sharingan, he took control of the clan. Under his leadership the Uchiha grew stronger, conquering whatever clans they came upon, such that, whenever the Uchiha clan was hired for a job, the opposing side would hire the Senju, and vice versa.The Senju clan, grew tired of the endless fighting, and approached the Uchiha clan with a peace treaty. Madara feared that an alliance would lead the Uchiha to ruin, but his clan disagreed, and he was forced to accept. The two clans came together to form Konoha, with Hashirama Senju, leader of the Senju Clan, being selected as Hokage. Madara believed that this was proof that the Uchiha would be made subservient to the Senju, but his clan saw this only as his attempt to rekindle the flames of war. They turned their backs on him, and he defected. Following Madara's betrayal, the Second Hokage gave the Uchiha control of the Konoha Military Police Force as a sign of trust. According to Madara, this was really just a way of keeping the Uchiha in check and out of Konoha's governing affairs. Over the years, some Uchiha, such as Setsuna, have figured out this motive's true meaning, and tried to rebel against the village as Madara did, but they found that it was too late to make a difference, as the Senju had already completely suppressed the Uchiha.

___Elaboration:
The first of the Sharingan's powers is being able to see the flow of chakra. The Sharingan can tell if a person is under a genjutsu because the person's chakra flow would be irregular.The Sharingan's second-most prominent ability grants the user an incredible clarity of perception, allowing them to easily recognize genjutsu and different forms of chakra, though not to the same extent as the Byakugan. This also allows the user to pick up on subtle details, enabling them to read lip movements or mimic something like pencil movements. As the Sharingan evolves, gaining more tomoe seals, this ability extends to being able to track fast-moving objects before finally giving some amount of predictive capabilities to the user. However, even though the user may be able to see an attack or know it is coming, their body may not have time to react.The Sharingan's third and most well-known ability is that it grants the user the ability to memorize any technique that he or she witnesses, apart from other Kekkei Genkai techniques. The user can memorize ninjutsu, genjutsu, and taijutsu with near perfect accuracy, allowing the user to use the techniques as their own, or even modify them to create their own new techniques. In order to reproduce a copied jutsu, however, one must have the necessary skill and ability to perform them.

___Uchiha Clan Techniques:
Sharingan Soufuusha Sannotachi [ Sharingan Windmill Triple Blade ]
Rank C
Sharingan Soufuusha Sannotachi is a Ninjutsu technique utilized by the Uchiha clan. Using the developed vision of the Sharingan eye, the clan member hurls three Windmill Shuriken which have wire attached. While in the air the clan member can manipulate wire to make the blades circle the target, which results in the attached wire binding them.

Ryuuka no Jutsu [ Dragon Fire Technique ]
Rank C
This is done in a combination technique once you have used Sharingan Soufuusha Sannotachi or after you have binded your foe. Ryuuka no Jutsu is a Ninjutsu technique utilizing the Fire Element. After binding the opponent, the ninja uses a guide wire to unleash a large torrential fire burst onto the target.

Housenka no Jutsu [ Mythical Fire Phoenix Technique ]
Rank C
Katon: Housenka no Jutsu is a Ninjutsu technique utilizing the Fire Element. The ninja does the necessary hand seals and then emits a series of small fire balls. The ninja can also hurl a projectile which is covered in these same flames. To the opponent the attack appears to be only the balls of flame, they do not see the hidden threat within the flames. Meaning that even if the flames are put out, the projectiles still converge on the target. The flames can be used to cover different projectiles like Shuriken or Kunai.

Goukakyuu no Jutsu [ Great Fireball Technique ]
Rank C
Katon: Goukakyuu no Jutsu is a Ninjutsu technique utilzing the Fire Element. The ninja does the necessary hand seals, draws chakra from their mouth into their chest and them immediately exhales it. They then blow a stream of fire which erupts into a large sphere of flames. To better manage the flames the ninja will bring their hand to their mouth to control it. Katon jutsu such as this are seen as a rite of passage into adulthood for Uchiha clan members. Once the member can manipulate fire, they are finally recognized as no longer being a child.

Bunshin Bakuha [ Shadow Clone Explosion ]
Rank A
Bunshin Bakuha is a Ninjutsu technique utilized by Uchiha Itachi. At first glance the clone appears to be a normal Kage Bunshin, but Itachi can detonate the clone at any time to form a very large explosion.

Magen: Kyouten Chiten [ Demonic Illusion: Mirror Heaven and Earth Change ]
Rank A
The user decrypts a genjutsu that has been applied to them and lets loose a technique with identical effects onto the opponent. It is a form of illusion reversal, but in order to instantly read through a technique and cast it in return, the Sharingan's power is necessary. As genjutsu is initially used to confuse the enemy, this technique, which sends it right back to its caster, deals a high amount of mental damage, more than anything else.

M a n g e k y o• S h a r i n g a n

The Mangekyo Sharingan (Mangekyō Sharingan; Literally meaning "Kaleidoscope Copy Wheel Eye") is a heightened form of Sharingan. The Mangekyo Sharingan is distinguished from a normal Sharingan through its appearance, which changes the form of the tomoe seal. Unlike in the case of the Sharingan, the appearance of the Mangekyo Sharingan differs from user to user; Kakashi Hatake's and Itachi Uchiha's both resemble pinwheels, Madara Uchiha's and his brother, Izuna's look more like a detailed form of the basic three-tomoe Sharingan, and Sasuke Uchiha's looks like a star. To acquire the Mangekyo Sharingan, someone close to a Sharingan user must die and the emotion of the loss is responsible for its unlocking. To expedite this occurrence, most Uchiha throughout history have killed their closest friends or family members in order to meet this criteria. Although, how Kakashi gained his Mangekyo Sharingan has yet to be explained.
The Mangekyo Sharingan gives a user access to powerful and forbidden techniques. It is unclear if these techniques are unique among individuals; no two Mangekyo Sharingan users have been seen using the same jutsu, but Madara appears knowledgeable of all Mangekyo Sharingan techniques. The only known exception to this is Amaterasu, which Itachi implants in Sasuke's eyes before dying.
Over time, use of the Mangekyo Sharingan deteriorates the user's eyesight to the point of blindness. Only by taking and transplanting the eyes of one's sibling (who also wields the Sharingan) can the vision be restored, a process that results in the creation of the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan (Eien no Mangekyō Sharingan).

___Traits:
• Over time, use of the Mangekyo Sharingan deteriorates the user's eyesight to the point of blindness.
• Use of Mangekyo abilities tires the user out faster then usual. Eventually causing severe pain all through the body which gets worse the longer it is used for.
• After using a Mangekyo ability the users eye(s) will begin to bleed. Causing major pain that is severe enough to cause the user to grab at the eye out of reflex. This also leaves the user open for a few moments. Depending on the current level of blindness it will also temporarily blur vision.
• Taking the eyes of another Mangekyo user and transplanting them into your own sockets will restore your vision and negate the side effect that causes blindness from further use.
• Transplanted Sharingan into non Uchiha's cannot reach Mangekyo level. This rule was implemented to make it fair on everyone.
• The existence of the Mangekyo Sharingan is a closely guarded secret of the Uchiha. New characters cannot auto know of it's existence and must learn of it from the clan head or some other legitimate source before they are able to unlock it.
• To unlock the Mangekyo Sharingan, one must feel the pain of losing the person closest to them.
___Techniques:

Amaterasu
Rank S
Amaterasu is the strongest Katon jutsu in existence. The flames are capable of burning through anything in their path, even smothering regular fire techniques with ease. Although the flames do burn relatively slowly they cannot be put out by any normal means. (The user can put out their own flames however.) And they can only hit what is inside of the users field of vision.

Tsukuyomi
Rank S
Tsukuyomi is one of the most powerful genjutsu in existence. It requires eye contact to be performed. But when executed, the target is caught in an illusionary world that is completely under the control of the user. Time, space and even physical mass are all at the users control. Although the extent to which it can be used is dependent on the users skill in genjutsu. The target can be kept inside of the illusinary would for a maximum of what is perceived as 42 hours if they are skilled with genjutsu. (3 post maximum.)

Susano'o
Rank SS
Susanoo is the third ability granted by the Mangekyō Sharingan after awakening the other abilities in both eyes. It creates a gigantic, humanoid being that surrounds the user. As the strongest technique granted to those that have acquired the Mangekyō Sharingan, it is the user's guardian deity, but at the same time, it consumes the user's life by draining them and weakening them. Extended use of Susano'o will leave the user feeling excruciating pain over every inch of their body. The user can choose how much of Susano'o to summon when using it. Starting with just the rib cage, then a partial skeleton. (For example, summoning a single arm.) Followed by a full skeleton, muscle and skin, and then finally a fully formed Susano'o complete with armor. Each stage grants increasing defensive and offensive power and it takes a significantly powerful attack to break through this defense. The protection given from Susano'o is not perfect however. As it does not defend the area directly beneath the user. And the user can be pulled out of their Susano'o should an intelligent enough enemy figure out a method of doing so. Susano'o is also weakest and most prone to breaking when being attacked from directly behind.

History:
The Crystal Release (晶遁, Shōton; English TV "Crystal Style") is a rare and specialized field of elemental ninjutsu that can create crystal as well as manipulate already-existing crystals and crystalline structures. It is seen only in the anime, and its only known user is Guren. Additionally, due to Guren's crystal dragons being shattered by Kakashi's Lightning Cutter and Kiba having mistaken the actual element for an Earth Release technique, it is assumed earth is one of the elements needed to create crystals.

Traits:
• All Shouton users have Doton [ Earth ] element only!
• All Shouton users cannot crystallize living things
• All Shouton users can crystallize earth and water jutsu though
• All Shouton users born with a specials Attribute [ listed below ]

Special Attribute:
• Diamond-like Hardness: All Shouton users are heavily taijutsu resistant, therefore taijutsu used against them is downgraded by 2 ranks (B to D ect.).

Restrictions:
• All Shouton users must be Taijutsu, Single element, Bloodline, or Bukijutsu class
• All Shouton users slightly more vulnerable to Sound jutsu. (It can stop crystals from forming.)
• All Shouton users cannot crystallize fire, lightning, or wind techniques


Normal ○ Techniques:

Kesshō no Yoroi [ Crystal Armor ]
Rank - D
This technique allows Guren to cover her skin with a thin sheet of crystal, protecting herself from blunt attacks. This armor can also aid Guren to perform stronger physical attacks. The crystal is transparent and can only be noticed by light reflecting off it. This does not happen by reflex, you must preform this skill.

Shōton: Kurenai no Kajitsu - [ Crystal Release: Crimson Fruit ]
Rank - D
Guren can create a dome of crystal to surround a target. It is highly durable from both external and internal attacks. Unlike all of the prison techniques used by Guren in the series, this technique actually does not crystallize anyone.

Shōton: Mori [ Crystal Release: Lance ]
Rank - C
This jutsu allows Guren to create a large and sharp spear-like rod attached to her wrist, which she can use to impale her target.

Shōton: Senbon [ Crystal Release: Needles ]
Rank - C
Guren creates long, sharp, and pointed bright pink and white crystals that shoot at the target at extremely high speeds with pinpoint accuracy.

Shōton: Suishō Tō - [ Crystal Release: Jade Crystal Blade ]
Rank - D-C
With this technique Guren can quickly form a blade made of crystal on her arm, and use it in a manner reminiscent of a tantō. Blades can be formed on both arms if needed.
One arm D-rank two arms is C-rank

Shōton: Uwagakesuisha [ Crystal Release: Crystal Wheel ]
Rank - C
With this technique, Guren creates a disk-shaped wheel made of crystal around her, allowing her to keep above water and race towards the enemy at high speed.

Shōton: Suishō Rō no Jutsu - [ Crystal Release: Jade Crystal Prison ]
Rank - C
This technique, which seems to be a minor version of the Crystal Release: Crystal Pentagonal Prison, allows Guren to completely encase a single target in crystal.

Suishō Bunshin no Jutsu - [ Jade Crystal Clone Technique ]
Rank - C
These clones are made of crystal, as after Hinata Hyūga defeated one, it crumbled into many crystals. Clones made by this jutsu are also able to deceive Byakugan users, as shown in the (short) fight Hinata had with one of Guren's clones. Hinata could see the Chakra Pathway System of the clone, unlike in the situation with a normal clone generated by the Clone Technique.

Kesshō: Rokkaku Shuriken - [ Crystal: Hexagonal Shuriken ]
Rank - C
Guren creates several crystal shuriken and launches them at the opponent. The shuriken are six-sided with spikes at the sides of each blade, resembling snowflakes.

Shōton: Suishōheki Hachi no Jin - [ Crystal Release: Jade Crystal Wall Eighth Formation ]
Rank - B
This technique allows Guren to encase a large area in crystal, thus crystallizing everything within it. This jutsu was first used in Guren's battle with the Three-Tailed Beast, but to no avail, as it broke out shortly after.

Shōton: Hashō Kōryū - [ Crystal Release: Tearing Crystal Falling Dragon ]
Rank - B
The user crystallizes a material in the area, and then turns it into a dragon. It can be used as a means to travel or to attack a target. Several dragons can also be made and manipulated at once.

Shōton: Omiwatari no Jutsu - [ Crystal Release: The Gods' Crossings Technique ]
Rank - B
Guren places her hand on a surface, creating a long stream of sharp crystals to bind and pierce a target.

Crystal Release: Growing Crystal Thorns
Rank - B
Guren creates growing thorn-like crystals that continuously grow towards the opponent's direction.

Crystal Release: Crystal Encampment Wall
Rank - A
Guren sends out a wave of chakra which then turns into an almost impenetrable crystal wall which also mends itself. This crystal most likely has a similar endurance to the one created by the Crystal Release: Jade Crystal Labyrinth Technique. Shino's enhanced insects were capable of greatly weakening the wall allowing Kakashi to finally destroy it using his Lightning Cutter.

Crystal Release: Crystal Imprisonment Wave
Rank - A
A larger scale version of Crystal Release: Crystal Pentagonal Prison, Guren can encase a swarm of opponents in crystal, as shown when trapping Shino Aburame's kikaichū. Unlike other crystal prisons used by Guren, where the crystal emerged from the ground, this crystal forms in the air.

Shōton: Kesshō Gokakurō - [ Crystal Release: Crystal Pentagonal Prison ]
Rank - A
Guren completely encases her opponents in crystal. When the crystal is shattered, the bodies of the victims disintegrate along with the crystal particles. When people were examining Shino's parasitic insect, it appeared to be covered with a frostbite-like pattern.

Shōton: Suishō Meikyū no Jutsu - [ Crystal Release: Jade Crystal Labyrinth Technique ]
Rank - S
First Guren creates a large number of crystal flowers. Then she can grow these flowers into a gigantic labyrinth consisting of red crystals. Enemies trapped inside it will mostly be lost because of the fact that the red crystals reflect their personal image as well as generates mirror images of the routes, paths, and details within the labyrinth, confusing and intimidating them. It is even capable of confusing the Byakugan.
Because of the crystal's stable molecular structure, a simple attack focused at one point is rendered useless, and its wide surface will disperse the force of wide range attacks, reducing their effectiveness. To overcome this technique, an attack that has impact force both wide and powerful is required to smash through it.

Shishō Tenketsu - [ Pressure Points of Harm and Death ]
Rank - S
Guren releases two tenketsu points so that Crystal Release: String of Glory can be used.
• Tankes 20 posts to learn at Jounin level.
• Required to use String of Glory
• Restores 100 chakra upon activation.

Shōton: Isshi Kōmyō - [ Crystal Release: String of Glory ]
Rank - S+
After using Pressure Points of Harm and Death, Guren encases herself in a prism of crystal. The prism can hover in the air, but seems to be immobile. However, the prism protects her from almost any attack, as it was capable of withstanding a barrage of continuous Rasengan, only shattering in the end. In addition, this technique allows her to attack by focusing her chakra into powerful heat blasts launched through the prism's tip.

Zetsu Clan

The only known member of this clan is zetsu himself. It is said that in order to achieve these split personalities is to be implanted with the cells of plants and Hishirama Senju as mediums. A split personality is formed in the body as a consequence of such a rigorious operation. One side tends to be more serious and focused on accomplishing a task at hand while the other is carefree and easygoing. Members of this clan are very loyal to their cause and are often trusted with knowledge that most wouldn't.

Requirements

Undergo surgery to implant your body with Hishiramas and plant cells(Blood cells to Mokuton implant)
Must attain a split personality after undergoing the surgery.
Must be part of the duel bloodline class.

Limitations
reduced power of mokuton-All techniques are reduced by one rank
Mokuton techniques require 2 additional posts to learn.
Must have Earth and Water as only elements


Body splitting technique
Rank D
Allows a user to split their body in half. Both halfs can still use techniques and grow an arm and body mass with no features. (IE: Half will not have an eye or facial features nothing distinquishing)

Mayfly
Rank B
Allows a user to merge their body into the ground by spreading chakra throughout their body. This allows the user to travel at high speeds although not as fast as teleportation jutsu. (Since not instantaneous I was thinking 200 yards and 5 chakra per post. It is zetsu so he can travel really long distances.) The user can also merge themselves in trees and sand. When merged they are undetectable even by the most highly trained sensory shinobi.

Communication Technique
Rank B
Allows the user to communicate between both halves through a system of underground roots. Requires both have to be merged with the ground to create a link. (5 chakra points for every post the link is made.)

One half of zetsu clans body: White Zetsu
Parasite clone
Rank D
Allows the user to create a clone of anyone they have ever touched right down to the persons chakra. A simple clone which is mainly used for distraction. Will be dispersed in one hit and doesn't carry any of the actual persons techniques.

Substitute Clone
Rank C
A variation of the parasite clone except the clones can are more durable and can take a couple hits as well as will retain the shape of the person when they are "dead." Do not disappear when they are incapacitated.

Spore technique
Rank A
Allows the user to create spores inside of their opponents body. The pores themselves to do not carry any chakra and are virtually undetectable by regular sensor shinobi. Upon their timed release the spores will grow and clones of zetsu will begin to restrict the opponent and absorb their chakra. Chakra can be transfered to another shinobi if the user comes into contact with them.
(2 posts for spores to release inside the body. -10 chakra for each turn the clones restrict the opponent(5 posts max)

Venus Fly trap
Rank S
A user will be able to devour the body of fallen shinobi theirfore concealing the secrets their body may contain. (It doesn't say in anything I have read whether this can be used to take a jutsu from a dead shinobi it has only been used to keep akatsuki members secrets safe so I will leave that decision up to the crew.)

Black half of zetsu clan body

Able to learn all Mokuton techniques at a weaker rate.

If you like it the way it is you can post it in the guilds kekkei genkai or the crew can change things around. Just thought it might help with the zetsu thing.
