Welcome to Gaia! ::

250 is feet. But of course that can be decreased. *Gets on debate glasses.

Since Hachibi is the manisfestation of 'darkness' and sin is also technically 'darkness,' one would think that the biju would be able to see some sort of resonance or appearance of it.

Your Rank: Academy Student
Name of Jutsu: Way of the Abacus #6: Pillar of Salt
Rank of Jutsu: E
Range of Jutsu: Right in front of the user
Jutsu's Element: Earth
Description: The user sends chakra either through their hands or their feet to the ground and draws up the salt in the ground, forming anywhere from a small mound to a large pillar of salt depending on the location.
Rp Sample Sairoh had finally arrived at his secret 'sweet spot', a patch of land in the Rock Country so rich in salt, placing one's bare skin on the ground left you shriveled and dehydrated in moments. Channeling his chakra he sent it deep into the earth where it began latching onto the particles of salt and drawing them up, a pillar of salt erupting from the ground. He then began scooping the salt into containers for him to take back and sell at the markets.

Hmmm... No combat potential, unless you use it on a beach as a defense, probably only known by wandering cooks and merchants... Meh, go for it.

As Storm said, darkness is in fact the absence of light. Sin is a more mystical type of thing. The only way to "See" sin, is if the person is so weighed down by what they had done already that it was obvious on their features. And something like that wouldn't even require a jutsu.

What is this darkness element anyways? I can understand the medical element and sand and all those other ones we have for specific jutsu types, but darkness?

It is only intended for one target ill edit that in.
its just a burst, it is only used for a turn. I think the affect would only last a turn that would kind of make sense. I think it got changed somehow when i added the taijutsu users being weaker thing.

spelling- dont know how those got past me...
if you think these changes would fix it ill repost the jutsu so you can see what it would look like.

Name of Jutsu: Mental Shout
Rank of Jutsu: D
Jutsu's Element: Yamanaka clan
Description: Using their extraordinary telepathic abilities, the Yamanaka forces a loud mental boom, that can easily disorient and startle those affected. It's purely mental, so there would be no actual damage. It is used to stun the affected, it sounds loud enough your eardrums might blow, but nothing else happens. It's main use, would be to stun them long enough for teammates to get an attack off much easier. Can only be used on one ninja at a time. Stuns the affected for one turn. Characters not used to mental intrusion, (like taijutsu users and newbie ninjas) as well as those who are easilly startled. it is up to the affected to decide if their rpc would need more turns to recover.

I think it is a typo. I think it was supposed to say something to this effect.



Atleast that or like Hinote said, something is missing.

Doesnt the Nara clan already have "darkness" covered?

anyways, i dont think that's nit-picking at all. I seem to be failing miserably at typing lately. emo
