Kaosu Clan Jutsu

The Kaosu Clan is known for its ability to protect the righteous, repel summoned devils, and
break through evil barriers. The disciplines of the Kaosu Clan only respond to someone with
a righteous heart; in someone who fights with evil intent, only the most basic of the jutsu
will respond. Note that someone who is brainwashed is considered without evil intent, and
can make full use of the Jutsu contained within the Clan's line. In order to enact the more
powerful Jutsu of the Kaosu Clan, a Shakujo staff is required to focus the chakra and the
techniques. The Kaosu Clan is often referred to as the 'Clan of Ancients', and has deep
roots both in Traditional Buddhism, and Ancient Shinto.

Initially, this Clan was part of the priesthood, though unlike the priests themselves, the
Kaosu Clan was gifted with unusual abilities from the start. Its founder, Kaosu, had an
unnatural level of Chakra, and could manipulate the powers of heaven and earth, giving
him the gifts of teleportation, spatial movement, and also the ability to banish wicked things,
and imbue objects with spiritual power. Though the blood has been diluted somewhat over
time, some of the strong gifts remain with Clan members even today.

Unusual in the extreme, one of its current members, Shuten Douji, is far from righteous, and
he only displays the Jinkouteki Chakra, Tsuihou no Jutsu, and Inochi Toushou. He does not
carry the traditional Shakujou Staff, and if he does have one, it never seems to show up on his
person.


Techniques:


___________________________________________________________
Jinkouteki Chakra (Unnatural Chakra)
This is a passive ability present in all of the Kaosu Clan bloodline. Kaosu Clan members
are possessed of an unnaturally high level of Chakra, even at birth, and as such, grow
to have a greater level of chakra than most normal ninja. While their Chakra cannot
compare to that generated by a Biju or similar creature, they have 1.5 to 2 times more
reserve chakra than the average to above average shinobi. Still, this is not without its
drawbacks. Having so much chakra means that it takes even more work for them to
learn how to convert it into jutsu. Even once a Kaosu has learned how to control and
manipulate this large amount, they still have issues. Chakra is restored with rest, and
as such, the more you have to restore, the longer you have to rest. After the standard
amount of chakra is spent (ie, as much as a normal ninja would have), if anymore is
spent from the extra well they possess, the Kaosu must rest more, up to an hour more
per every three jutsu used. While this means that a Kaosu can use techniques requiring
chakra expenditure that would kill a normal ninja, it also means that when they get
exhausted, it's far more debilitating.

Curiously, this unusual chakra grants members of the Kaosu clan extended life. They
tend to live up to two hundred years before perishing.

___________________________________________________________

Kuchiyose: Tsuru
This is the summoning technique of the Kaosu Clan. They may call forth the
sacred Cranes for various purposes. The Sacred Cranes are quite proud, and
refuse to do any work that might be beneath them, but for the most part, they
are cooperative with the Kaosu as long as the goal is a noble or necessary
one. The Kaosu clan Crane summons are considered medical and defensive
in their abilities. There are several levels of the summoning, detailed below.

Genin: This is the most basic level. Initiates in the clan learn this summon, and
it is at such a low level, even other shinobi can forge this level of the contract.
This summons a small crane which can be used to spy or scout. The little crane
knows no abilities and is about half the size of a normal crane.

Chuunin: This is the level for acolytes of the Clan. The crane is full sized at
this point, and can fly much farther, scout better, and while less useful for
spying, they could also find and retrieve food for an ailing ninja. Cranes
at this level have a basic jutsu, usually one to aid their flight.

Jounin: This is where the real power starts. Cranes summoned by this level
of the pact are large enough to ride on for one person. Typically, they will
only let a Kaosu Clan member ride them, or as a favor, they might let someone
that is a close friend ride at the Kaosu's request, or carry someone who is
wounded or holding vital information. They resent being used as simple
chariots. Cranes at this level know two jutsu, one to aid their flight, and
most likely, one to perform a minor healing of a wounded person.

Advanced Jounin: The cranes at this level are far more powerful, and it
shows. The cranes summoned by this technique are huge, capable of
carrying up to three people. They are very taciturn by nature, and hate
fighting unless they can't help it. This group of cranes tends to be quite
proud, but they also believe in helping others. They usually possess
four jutsu, one for enhancing flight, one for healing, one defensive, and
one randomly chosen, usually for high speed movement or defense.

Clan Leader: The Queen of Cranes, Kaguya, is summoned at this level.
Kaguya appears as a resplendant crane bathed in silvery light, wearing
a celestial headdress and a gauzy gown on her bird's body. Her eyes are
kind and stern, like a mother's would be, and while she is loath to fight,
she will if she must. Kaguya is equal in size to the other kings and queens
of summons (such as Gamabunta). She possesses numerous jutsu, most of
them healing and defensive in nature. She also possesses a technique
called the 'Kaguya Mirror', which is used to turn Elemental Jutsu back
on an attacker. She will gladly carry wounded allies of the Kaosu on
her back to a place of safety if there is no time to heal them. She is very
proud, and while she will not refuse a request by the Kaosu to carry them
or others, she will give them a very stern talking to about summoning her
needlessly. her stern talks usually go on for hours, in a place where she
has used her Jutsu to trap the poor soul so they can't get away from her
lecturing.


___________________________________________________________

Sekishofuu no Jutsu (Barrier Seal Technique)
This is a defensive ninjutsu technique, that involves planting the Shakujo staff into the
ground. When it is done, the rings on the Shakujo begin to clatter rapidly, over and over,
and they produce a barrier about seventy feet high, and a hundred feet in diameter. The
barrier is a dome shape. The seal barrier can only be maintained if the Ancient keeps a
hold of the Shakujo and concentrates. This is a 'pure' technique, and does nothing against
normal people, but it can stop any demon, summoned creature, biju, or 'evil' being from
entering. Note that some people can be classed as 'evil' beings. Criteria are up to the
moderators, but most often soul-switchers and their ilk are classed as such (ex; Orochimaru).
The barrier lasts until the user runs out of chakra, or until he stops the focus. Otherwise,
it has no set duration. Curiously, since this personifies purifying the mind and body,
Genjutsu will not function at all inside the dome, period. It doesn't matter if the enemy
or allies try to perform it; in the area of the barrier, all Genjutsu are negated. Any
Genjutsu that are already in effect when the barrier is erected remain in effect, the
barrier only stops new Genjutsu after it is erected. The barrier can be broken by
a more powerful creature, but for the most part it is highly effective.

A shakujo is required for this technique.

___________________________________________________________

Taisan Maboroshi no Jutsu (Phantom Disperse Technique)
This is a defensive ninjutsu technique that is similar to Genjutsu Kai. When the Shakujo
is raised above the shinobi's head, the rings begin to rattle, creating a powerful sound
and effect. all Genjutsu in effect on any targets, other than the technique user are then
immediately freed from all Genjutsu they are under, except the most powerful levels.
The sound penetrates all the senses, overwhelming the genjutsu, and destroys the
perception created by Genjutsu, by shifting the perception of the senses of others to
a more pure state of being, free of any false influences. Note that certain Genjutsu,
such as high level bloodline Genjutsu, (ex, Tsukiyomi) are either unaffected, or only
vaguely disrupted by the technique, giving a 10% chance for the people affected to
snap themselves out without extreme measures such as breakage or high levels of
pain. When used, this technique causes the Shakujo to light up with a radiance
equal to a hand lamp.

A shakujo is required for this technique.

___________________________________________________________

Tsuihou no Jutsu (Banishment Technique)
This jutsu is similar in style to Genjutsu Kai, except for the fact that instead of banishing
illusions, it banishes summoned creatures, such as summoned demons, or those creatures
summoned by kuchiyose. If used without a Shakujo, this technique can banish up to one
nameless creature per shinobi rank of the user, or one named creature. (The difference
in the two fairly simple; Orochimaru's snakes were just snakes, but Manda was a
powerful named creature). The technique works like thus; against someone of lower
rank, the ninja can banish one creature per rank plus one. Against someone of equal
rank, they can banish one creature per rank. Against a stronger ninja, they can banish
one creature per every two ranks. If the shinobi uses a shakujo with this technique, they
can banish double the number of creatures within a hundred feet of them, except
against a stronger opponent. Against a stronger opponent, the number banished
is the same as above, only it can still be within a hundred feet. Otherwise this
technique is by touch.

A shakujo is not required for this technique. Using a Shakujo enhances this technique.

___________________________________________________________

Sankyou Hikari no Jutsu (Light Bridge Technique)
This jutsu is unique, and incredibly powerful. By use of this Jutsu, the Kaosu creates
a 'Bridge of Light' between one space and another, using high levels of Chakra. This
technique is difficult to use, and even more difficult to maintain. The catalyst for the
technique is a single 'marking tag', created in advance. The marking tag marks where
the targets of this technique will go. When activated, this technique creates spheres
of energy around one to five targets. The targets are then jettisoned, within these
spheres at high speed to the 'mark' area. The speed they move at borders on hyper
sonic, so catching them in flight would be nigh impossible. The 'Bridge' itself is
invisible except to those that are in the spheres, where to their sight it manifests
as a track they move upon, composed entirely of Chakra and light. In order to
keep the bridge up, the Kaosu must maintain his position, with his Shakujo staff
plundged into the ground. This connects the 'mark' area, with the 'target area',
much as a real bridge has two anchor points. If the staff is disconnected or the
Kaosu dies or ends the technique prematurely, then the spheres crash to the
ground where they are. Those inside take only minor damage as the spheres
are shields which will protect them from most of the crash. Using this technique
takes a vast amount of Chakra, so it is rarely used except in emergencies.

This technique requires a Shakujo staff.

___________________________________________________________

Koushou Sekishofuu no Jutsu (Advanced Barrier Seal Technique)
This is a defensive ninjutsu technique, that involves planting the Shakujo staff into the
ground. When it is done, the rings on the Shakujo begin to clatter rapidly, over and over,
and they produce a barrier about seventy feet high, and a hundred feet in diameter. The
barrier is a dome shape. The seal barrier can only be maintained if the Ancient keeps a
hold of the Shakujo and concentrates. This is a 'total' technique, and unlike its origin
skill, this barrier DOES repel anyone outside of it, including evil creatures, normal or
abnormal shinobi, projectiles, ninjutsu, and anything else on the outside of the barrier.
The barrier lasts until the user runs out of chakra, or until he stops the focus. Otherwise,
it has no set duration. This barrier has no effect on Genjutsu as its sister technique does
being that is not a purifying art. This, simply, is a defensive wall, and in a sense, it is
very similar to the barrier of the Sound Four's creation, only singular in its creation
source. Naturally, a more powerful shinobi could destroy the barrier given enough
power and effort. If the user does not use a Shakujo staff, he can create a barrier
around himself only, contoured to his own shape, and just slightly further from his
body. Such a barrier is only able to deflect a few attacks. It can stay erect for three
posts against physical attacks only, or one post against Ninjutsu.

This technique does not require a Shakujo staff. Using a Shakujo staff increases this technique.
___________________________________________________________

Tenchikaibyaku (Creation of Heaven and Earth)
Description: A forbidden, or kinjutsu of the Kaosu Clan, not because of the power it grants the
wielder, but because it can potentially kill them. When used, this technique can have one of the
following three effects. The first effect it can have is to immediately lift any form of mind control
including natural hypnosis, drug induced mind control, chakra induced mind control, or mental
and psychological conditioning, as well as stabilizing the psyche of anyone with an extreme
psychological disorder or MPD. This is the first stance of the technique and is called the
'Open Eyes of Heaven'. Using this technique on someone causes the user to fall into a coma
for seven days. The second stance of this technique transfers the user's chakra from himself
to a group of individuals who has used too much chakra to survive. Using the mass chakra
that the Kaosu have, up to a group of five can be ressucitated in this fashion, but it puts the
Kaosu into a coma for five days, regardless of how many people he actually restores. This
is sort of a 'senzu bean' effect save it does nothing for actual physical injuries; only restoring
metaphysical strength. This is the 'Determined Bones of Earth'. The final stance, the literal
'Creation of heaven and earth', is a technique that has been forbidden for many reasons.

When it is used, the user has one of the following choices: Immediately banish a Demon or Biju,
or similar beast from inside someone. The one formerly possessed or sealed will remain living,
but the user will die in his place. Alternatively, the Kaosu may grasp a fleeing or fled soul, and
restore a dead person's life, regardless of how long they have been dead. The person returning
to life, will return at the age and appearance they had when they died. The user then dies, their
soul taking the place of the person's whom they revived in heaven. This technique cannot revive
the wicked; only the righteous or at the very least, someone who was not cruel or vicious in
life needlessly. Using this technique means that the Kaosu cannot ever return to life on the
mortal plane. He willingly gives his life to save another and remains in heaven.


This technique requires a Shakujou Staff, as well as specially prepared incense that only a Kaosu
can make, and a ritual circle to the Five Cardinal Elements.The actual Jutsu takes time to use,
and cast, similar to the mass healing circle Jutsu.

Inochi Toushou (Life Swordsmith)
Not so much a jutsu as a skill and power, this ability allows the Kaosu to tap into
his unusual chakra flows and imbue an elemental symbol temporarily into an
armor or weapon already existing, or one that he has forged himself. If placed on
an already existing weapon, the symbol allows elemental chakra to be drawn into
the weapon or armor to create an effect. These symbols are temporary, and will burn
out after a certain number of uses, depending on what kind of item it is. If symbols
are imbued into an item that is forged by the Kaosu, the elemental power is instead
permanent, and can be activated at anytime by the user of the item. In order for a
person other than the Kaosu to be able to use a forged weapon, a bit of that person
must be placed in the material during the forging; this can be hair, blood, or any
similar part of the person. Imbuing takes time, of course. The Kaosu may imbue
elements into up to five weapons or one armor in a 24 hour period. This refers to
already-made weapons to be temporarily imbued. For a permanent imbue, the
process takes as long as the item takes to forge, as well as the long amount of
time the pre-forge materials take to enhance with the chakra of the Kaosu.
Typically this process can take days, even weeks.


The longer a Kaosu spends on one set of materials and item, the more powerful
effect can be placed on it. There are old tales of Kaosu who spent months and
years on their items, only to create powerfully explsoive weapons and nigh
invincible armors, though such a feat would take so much time for today's
Kaosu clan members, it would be safe to say only one such item could be
forged in the space of their single lifetime. These are examples of what
could be done.

Beginner/Genin Jutsu:
___________________________________________________________

Doton Tsuchi Gunjikoudou no Jutsu (Earth Military Movement Technique)
Description: This jutsu allows the user to enter the ground and "swim" in it for a limited time.

___________________________________________________________

Kinobori no Jutsu (Tree Walking Technique)/Kabenobori no Jutsu (Wall Walking Technique)
Description: By focusing chakra into the feet and keeping it balanced, the user can walk up against vertical objects and cling to its surface.

______________________________________________________________


Suimen Hokou no Gyou (The Art of Water Walking)
Type: Ninjutsu
Description: A technique that enables the user to walk on the surface of water by concentrating chakra into the feet. It is also used for training; it allows an individual to learn how to control the release of chakra.

_______________________________________________________________

Henge no Jutsu - Transformation Technique

The user utilizes the sheep or tiger hand seal and concentrates their chakra to assume the appearance of another person, an animal, or even any object. This is most useful as a spying or distraction technique, but it has been known to be used in other more perverted methods throughout history by using more varied methods of change (ex: Oiroke no Jutsu)
_____________________________________________________________

Kawarimi no Jutsu - Body Replacement Technique

This is a technique that usually confuses the attacker. The user quickly projects themselves with another nearby object such as a plant (normally a section of a log), an animal, or even another person within reach, leaving the opponent open to a counter-attack. Also, there are those who also put an explosive tag on their replacement to make it even more deadly. A jutsu that most ninja learn early on, especially in their academy life. Very useful in many ways.
______________________________________________________________

Bunshin no Jutsu - Clone Technique

This technique creates a clone of the user, but it is an illusion, not a real copy like Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shadow Clone Technique). Hence, the illusions will dissapate when they make contact with an object. The illusions can be seen through by the Byakugan and the Sharingan, and other similar arts.


___________________________________________________________
Defensive Doton
___________________________________________________________


Doton: Doroku Gaeshi (Earth Element Rock Shield)
In the jutsu, the user lifts up a giant piece of earth and uses it as a shield. For every rank beyond academy student, the shield is 5 feet by 5 feet, and thickens by 3 inches.

___________________________________________________________

Suchi Tou Tou (Swift Earth)
When performing this jutsu the shinobi places his/her hands on the ground and causes it to move rapidly away as if it were a conveyor belt. As the shinobi increases in skill and rank the size, speed, and range of this jutsu all increase. For every rank, the user can move the ground 10 feet away.

___________________________________________________________

Yougan Eisha no Jutsu (Lava Swimmer Technique)
The Shinobi is able to swim through lava unharmed, though they can not do so for extended periods of time. Chuunin can only do it for 1 post while Jounin may do it for 2 posts. Advanced Jounin for 3, Kage for 5, and Sennin for 10 per use.

___________________________________________________________


Sekkai Zanchuu (Stone Pillar)
A stone pillar lifts the shinobi high in the air away from combat. The pillar comes equipped with small stone needles that shoot when touched. The creator of the stone pillar has a limited control over it that allows it to move very slowly. This is a great way to increase the distance between the defender and an attacker. The pillar rises up 30 feet into the air.

___________________________________________________________

Doton: Iwa Guntai Tate (Earth Element: Rock Army Shield)
A flat defensive slab of earth shoots out of the ground and forms walls that guards each member of your team.
The maximum number of people that can be protected are four. The user of the technique decides which side of his/her
allies the wall will be formed on. For every rank above chuunin, the user can create 2 shields in a 40 foot diameter, to
the aforementioned maximum of 4.This jutsu blocks all physical attacks, except those done by a higher ranking ninja,
upon which it blocks only 4 attacks. The shields will eventually dissipate on their own.

___________________________________________________________

Jitei Chikyuujuo (Ears on the Earth)
Type: Ninjutsu
Used for tracking and for spying. The Shinobi places his/her ear on the ground and focuses chakra into the ground through their ear. This allows for one of two things to happen, the vibrations from feet on the ground can be felt from up to a mile away. This allows for the shinobi to tack someone’s direction, though not their exact location. The other thing
that can be accomplished with this technique is that it allows the Shinobi to listen to conversations up to thirty feet away. Useful when listening through walls of stone.

___________________________________________________________

Stone Into Bread
Type: Ninjutsu
A jutsu that makes survival in the wilderness much easier. The user performs a series of seals, and then channels chakra into a rock. The chakra enters the rock and causes the rock to transform into 'bread', which can be eaten for sustenance. The consistency is still very hard, but chewable with strong teeth, and while there is no obvious physical change, the mineral count changes to be able to nourish a human body.

___________________________________________________________
Offensive Doton
___________________________________________________________


Doton Shinjuu Zanshu no Jutsu (Earth Element Inner Decapitation Skill)
Description: This earth jutsu allows the user to “dive” into the ground and move around in it as if it was water, or even thin air. This ability allows the user to get near an opponent without notice and when below him, pull down the opponent to ground, burying his body and leaving only the head above the ground. This particular jutsu isn’t an attack by itself, but it easily creates and opening for more deadly attacks.

___________________________________________________________

Doton: Doryuudan no Jutsu (Earth Element Earth Dragon Blast)
Description: In this jutsu, a large mudstone structure appears from the ground in the shape of a dragon’s face. The dragon then shoots many earthmud “cannon balls” which hit the enemy with great speed. A good damage technique for hitting multiple enemies at once.

___________________________________________________________

Iwagakure Shunshin no Jutsu (Hidden earth Instantaneous Body Skill)
Description: An ability which allows the user to transport from one area to another by lowering his body to the ground and eventually become "buried" in it. The user has to have been to the area before, and be able to sense the location with his own chakra before being able to transport him there. This means that the distance is limited to about one mile. This jutsu can only be used to escape combat, and may not be used in the same post if the shinobi has attacked or defended.

___________________________________________________________

Doton: Rikujou Shougekiha no jutsu (Ground shockwave technique)
Description: This technique unleashes larger amounts of chakra into the ground to cause a more violent shaking to be sent in the form of a shockwave towards an opponent. The force of the shockwave is enough to knock a few opponents down and send them flying. However, due to the wave movements seen on the ground, most shinobis can dodge this by simply jumping up. Yet, it is still a useful technique to alter landscapes, or knock down objects even. For every rank above Genin, the range of the
attack is 15 feet diameter.

__________________________________________________________

Stone Genjutsu:
__________________________________________________________


Kyouboku Toukai no Jutsu (Forest Destruction Technique)
Description: A genjutsu that can only be used in forests (ie. the redwood forests of Earth Country etc.). The opponent sees, hears, and feels trees falling all around him, threatening to crush him. He moves out of the way,
making himself open to attacks. He can even hit standing trees by accident, because he sees them as falling and crashing,
not standing still.

_____________________________________________________________

Genkaku no Juuryoku (Illusion of Gravity)
Description: A genjutsu which affects the brain in such a way, the user's opponent feels as if they are walking in an environment of higher G, meaning in a place which has stronger gravity than normal. Consequently, muscles are strained since the body thinks they should work harder to compensate on the higher G-force, causing fatigue.

_____________________________________________________________
Jutsu:

_____________________________________________________________
Kanashibari no Jutsu (Body Freeze Technique)
Type: Ninjutsu
Description: Kanashibari causes the target to become paralyzed. This effect only works on opponents of equal rank or lower, and the duration is dependant on both the user and the opponent. The duration of this technique when a Chuunin uses it against a Genin is 3 posts. Against a Chuunin, it is 1 post. A Jounin's use of Kanashibari will last 5 posts
against a Genin, 3 against a Chuunin, and 1 against a Jounin. It is important to know that if the target is damaged, the technique immediately ends. While this is most often used as a capture technique, it has medical uses as well. Medical Nin using Kanashibari for the purposes of field surgery are not limited by a number of posts, assuming the target is either unconscious or willing to be put under the technique.
__________________________________________________________

Hitoku no Jutsu (Concealment Technique)
Type: Genjutsu
Description: A strong and useful skill, this causes the user and the area immediately around the user (within one meter) to change in ways that would better aid the user in hiding. For example, in a darkened area the shadows will seem to converge on and around the shinobi, further hiding him from sight. In a forested area, the technique would discolour the
user to better blend him in with the surroundings, as well as altering the plants in the area to better shield him. Note that all of these effects are purely illusionary; the shadows in the first example, the discolouration and the plant alteration of the second example. The jutsu works primarily because it is subtle, taking little chakra and having a small localized effect,
even those who could pierce the illusion rarely give it enough notice to do so.
__________________________________________________________

Kage Bunshin No Jutsu (Shadow Clone Technique)
Type: Ninjutsu
Description: A forbidden jutsu that creates clones - which are not just plain illusions (like the normal Bunshin no Jutsu). Each clone is an exact replica of the user, capable of attacking. A direct hit causes the clone to disappear. Chakra is divided evenly between every clone and the original, so creating three clones would leave the user with one-fourth of his remaining chakra. These kage bunshin are also capable of using any jutsu the original shinobi knows (except Kuchiyose and bunshin jutsu), and each kage bunshin may use one jutsu.

__________________________________________________________

Katon Housenka no Jutsu (Fire Element: Mythical Fire Flower Technique)
Type: Ninjutsu
Description: A jutsu that sends multiple blasts of fire from the mouth, usually with one target in mind. Shurikens can also be hidden inside the flames, creating an element of surprise.

Katon Ryuuka no Jutsu (Fire Element: Dragon Fire Technique)
Type: Ninjutsu
Description: A jutsu that sends a stream of fire towards the opponent, originating from the users mouth. In some cases it has been seen to take on the form of a dragon. Capable of being used like a flamethrower, prolonged exposure has been known to transform boulders and cliff side’s into molten piles of magma. This technique is most often thrown along wires or other such lines; Shuten is known to supplement this jutsu against an enemy caught in his Chains.

Ko Rai Jishin (Red Lightning Earthquake)
Type: Ninjutsu
Description: Unique to Shuten Douji. With a range of the user’s sight in a general given area, the user strikes their weapon on, and into a surface.. Anywhere on the surface in plain sight for the user calls fifteen separate chains to tie down a target. The amount of chains increases by rank, two times more than the first, added to the first, so that by Jounin level, there are in excess of a hundred and five chains. The chains are made of simple iron but are extremely thick and heavy. The chains are also further enhanced by the chakra of the user, making them very difficult to break. The chains grapple the enemy and latch to other objects, piercing into stone walls, trees, and other things. This jutsu was designed mainly to fight Taijutsu users.

The chains are also resistant against Ninjutsu techniques, even fire. The user can control their movement and where they come from in the ground. Regardless of whether the victim has moved at all, these chains will disappear after five posts. The chains seem to be in the form of red bolts of lightning when they burst from the ground, giving this technique its name.

Shukuchi (Reduced Earth)
Type: Ninjutsu
Description: Originally implemented by samurai, shinobi have learned to use chakra to perform this technique as well. By forcing chakra into the legs, the user is able to go from standstill to his highest speed instantaneously and crush the distance separating him from his opponent so quickly, all that can be seen is little craters left on the ground by his footsteps.
This jutsu can be used once per battle.

Issen Oni Shippo (One Thousand Demon Tails)
Description: This is a defensive technique using the Akahoshi that Shuten Douji wields. By calling forth the power of the weapon, Shuten in a sense, performs a reverse of his Ko Rai Jishin, and creates a shield all around him made completely of chains. The shield acts as a sort of armor, covering his body entirely in all of its weak spots, leaving enough room between the chain loops for him to see. Still, this is more meant as a one shot total defense. Chakra is molded all through the chains, making them very difficult to penetrate, stacked on top of each other as they are.
base duration: 2

__________________________________________________________

Genshi Banryoku no Jutsu (Primeval Brute Force Technique)
Description: This technique is channeled through the weapon that Shuten Douji holds, by the nature of its connection to the ancient beginning force. By molding Chakra into the Akahoshi, Shuten creates a massive shockwave force when he hits an opponent or an object with either end of his weapon. This force creates a massive burst of internal pressure in whatever is hit in a circular fashion, then explodes outward and away from the target, effectively squeezing it in a fist, then shoving it violently in a burst. The resulting multiple fractures and breakage as a result can be devastating. The technique is very versatile; using a lot of Chakra creates incredible damage, while using just a little adds only some extra damage.

Futon: Daitoppa
This jutsu sends out a powerful explosion of wind from the user's location, easily leveling anything in its path. A variation of this technique involves a smaller blast of wind that gets ignited with flame, making it stronger
and more damaging to the target.

__________________________________________________________


Daichi Shunshin no Jutsu (Ground Instantaneous Body Skill)
An ability which allows the user to teleport from one area to another by stepping through a burst of chakra-made smoke. Distance is limited to about one mile, and it cannot be used in battle except to completely escape. It was most commonly used about a hundred years ago in Leaf but has since been replaced in a number of villages with elemental versions. Stone's version allows travel via ground, and comes up with a burst of soil and rock.
__________________________________________________________



Favored Weapons: Akahoshi, Shuten's Kusari-Gama. Shuten is proficient in all forms of chain weaponry
however.

Appearance: Tall dark and evil? o.o In all seriousness, Shuten stands rather tall, and poses an intimidating shape. A well built man, but not massively so, Shuten is typically garbed in blacks and golds, or deep greys. He usually wears simple shinobi garments, but can often be seen wearing a small cape in a show of status.

Though he isn't always wearing his armor, he presents a strong aura as if he was at all times. His face is always either frowning or sneering, and even at his best, his expression can be described as 'darkly neutral'. Though he considers himself a lord in his own right, he prefers to show it with his strength rather than with fancy clothing. His garments will most often always have high shoulders. Why this is, only he knows. Shuten has long brown hair, and black eyes, and though he appears fairly young, he is older than his years make him out to be.


Personality: Tyrannical. Shuten believes in crushing the weak and upholding the strong. If someone can't hack in battle, then they don't deserve to remain standing. Whether it's by Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, or a weapon style, Shuten has respect for anyone who has power and isn't afraid to use it. He hates people that use power only to protect, and friends mean little or nothing to him. Love is unknown to the man, and while he may take a lover, it would be a relationship of one using the other, to his pereference with him doing the using. He enjoys battle for its own sake, yet he isn't a barbarian; he has a sharp mind and a strong will. In bad situations, he won't hesitate to retreat to more advantageous ground, but he won't ever actually retreat unless the odds are so stacked against him he truly has no choice. Shuten loathes Genjutsu masters, and considers most Genjutsu a cowardly form of combat that detracts from getting your hands dirty. While he uses a few Genjutsu himself, most of these create the illusion of destruction or of his own power, rather than the mind-numbing Genjutsu most specialists in the art use.


Shuten, in his favor however, is near unswervingly loyal to anyone he considers above him, though he never truly thinks of anything but himself. If a Lord proves himself weak, Shuten will not think twice about turning his back on the Lord, though he will do so in a forthright manner, instead of behind the leader's back if at all possible to do so. He is an honorable man, and will honor the letter of a contract, though most surely not the spirit of it. If Shuten can find a way to exploit a loophole in a contract he will, but he will never willingly break a contract unless he finds he signed it through trickery and lies. Once Shuten is on a team, regardless of what he thinks of the members of that team, he will not betray them for any reason, however, once they go their opposite ways, he can attack them at leisure if he considers them worthy enemies or simply bugs in need of crushing. More often than not, he is in one fight or another, searching for an enemy he can call worthy of his time. Shuten prefers one on one battles, and despises ninja who use team tactics against just one enemy, considering this weak. Shuten respects the law, and rules, but isn't above bending them to suit him.


Biography: In the works. Just know it involves evil armors, and lots of butt-kicking.

Nindo: In a world of warriors, predators, and demons, only the truly strong survive.

Other Notes:

Akahoshi, the Red Star of Mikaboshi: This is Shuten Douji's weapon of choice; a wickedly formed Kusarigama made of a very unusually heavy chain. Possessing some very unusual inner chakra all its own, Akahoshi is said to somehow be connected to the primeval chaos of Amatsu-Mikaboshi, the August Star of Heaven; however, the weapon tends to reflect the mind if its wielder. If the person is wicked and cruel, the weapon, when used, has an aura of red crackling chakra, but in the hands of someone who is just and fair, it has an aura of deep purple chakra. If away from his hands, Shuten has the capability to call it to return.

The true form of the armor is the Armor of Loyalty; however, currently it is in the form of the Armor of Cruelty.

Mujoufuuin: The Cruelty Seal allows the user to viciously control lesser minds or wills than the weilder. Up to fifteen individual minds can be enslaved at one time. This enslavement lasts for up to six hours, and those so enslaved can be issued any command, and they will follow it, aside from a direct suicide command. If the power is used on one individual only, the enslavement lasts until the user decides to release the victim, however, no more can be enslaved until the individual is released. It can be used once every 24 hours if used on more than one person.

Chuuseifuuin: The Loyalty Seal, formed once the armor is used by a good soul rather than a wicked one, is a unique seal. It automatically activates when an enemy attempts to use any form of genjutsu, trickery, or other method such as hypnosis or suggestions to make the armor wearer betray or attack his comrades. If the gen would have a result of making the armor wearer attack his party members/teammates, the seal will activate and dispel the illusion for him only. If he is hypnotized or held under a similar form of mind control, if he is ordered to attack, assassinate, or otherwise do harm directly or indirectly to his allies or teammates, the seal will shatter the hypnosis, or at the very least, in the case of powerful effects beyond the ninja's ability, it will paralyze the armor wearer so he cannot take the traitorous action. This has no effect if the wearer of the armor is betrayed by a teammate first, and he can attack them without hesitation.

Also, when activated by the wearer as an active ability, it inspires loyalty in others, making the wearer more trusted and more charismatic to everyone around him that isn't the enemy. He becomes a leader in the eyes of his teammates, and they are more likely to listen to him, or at least take his advice as good advice. The condtion is that in order to command this loyalty, he cannot give advice that is false.


Kuchiyosefuuin - Yoroi no Mujou/Chuusei: Summoning Seal; Armor of Cruelty/Loyalty. The Ancient armor formed
from the heart of a black star that fell to earth, said to once have been part of the primal chaos of Mikaboshi. The armor will vastly enhance the physical strength and endurance of the wielder, as well as enhancing the power of their offensive jutsu, but causes a constant drain on their Chakra, and should not be used too often.

All your standard ninja weaponry, specifically kunai and shuriken, though she also carries a tanto which is sometimes used. She prefers to rely on her natural abilities, rather than a man-made weaponry.



Tsume stands at approximately 5'5", has tousled hair which seems to shift from golden closer to the top of her head at the roots, to a deep red at the ends, which stop just above her shoulders. Her usual clothing of choice is a standard white top with mesh lining, with a light brown vest overtop that, a belt fastened around the baggy black pants she wears, and your standard footgear in an average shade of blue. A small belt which contains her kunai and needles is strapped to her left leg, and she wears fingerless gloves which stop just below her elbow. Her band, when worn, is either worn around the throat, or belted to her right leg. When fighting, she puts it half covering one eye, just enough to keep her scruffy hair back out of her face. As far as anything else goes, she has the traditional clan markings of the Nekoseki on her face, twin black catscratches which go from just under her eyes, around to the sides of her face. Her build is muscular, for a girl of thirteen, and when it comes to 'womanly' build, she's what most would consider average for a teenager.



If you could turn a housecat into a human, you'd have Tsume. Lazy, and a bit of a layabout when not in training, or doing specific tasks, Tsume is a laid back individual who is rarely disturbed by anything. Her casual manner is what keeps her sane in trying times, though it gives people the impression that she's apathetic about what goes on outside her 'world', it hides the fact that she has very real worries. After all, what more does a cat have to worry about than their next meal, and the best place for napping?

She's also very much a klutz, though not by her own design. She hasn't 'grown into herself', as her sister says.



Kiko, a small cheetah, is her companion, born and raised with Tsume, this is her partner, her best friend, and in some ways, more her sibling than her birth relatives. Like all Nekoseki, Tsume and Kiko are as close as a human and animal can possibly be. Insulting one usually means insulting the other, and more than that, picking a fight with one usually results in the other coming to the rescue.



Pending, because I'm lazy.



"I don't fight because I have to. I fight because I want to. Coincidentally, the first one to catcall me gets a claw in the face."



Jutsu descriptions, Taijutsu styles, and other important things of note will be listed here.

Sakibou Kata - "Cat's Paw Style" Taijutsu

This style of fighting relies on both an offensive series of attacks, as well as a defensive series of attacks. Focusing primarily on speed and agility, this style relies on precise attacks to do the most damage. It has three very specific elements to it. Defensive techniques, offensive techniques, and kick techniques, which may be used in cooperation with either the Yasumichuu or Kaitsuu Stances. This is considered a more 'generalized' Taijutsu, with no specific link, just something that has been specialized in by members of the Nekoseki clan for generations.

Yasumichuusutansu Sakibou (Closed Stance Cat's Paw)
This particular style relies primarily on flat palm techniques, with the fingers folded in, similar to cats claws in retraction. This is primarily a defensive taijutsu style, and while it has a few offensive moves, it primarily serves as means to block an attack, rather than launch one.

Kaitsuusutansu Sakibou (Open Stance Cat's Paw)
This style is the attack oriented style passed down through the Kaineko Clan. Relying on open handed palm strikes, grappling, this is a very feral fighting style, which is meant primarily to keep the user fighting as long as possible.

Ashigesutansu Sakibou (Kick Stance Cat's Paw)
This is primarily a kicking style of fighting, similar in some ways to kick boxing. Used as a form of defense, but also as a form of offense, it is possibly the most mutable form of the Sakibou Kata. It's most prominent use is when the opponents upper body is for some reason, immobile, such as being tied up, etc.

Village Jutsu

Hakagami no Jutsu (Leaf Mirror Technique)
By concentrating a small amount of chakra onto a leaf, the user is able to turn it into a reflective surface making it useful for spying, planning an attack, or defending against an attack as well.

Konoha No Shuriken no Jutsu (Leaf Shuriken Technique)
Using chakra to harden and sharpen a blade of grass or leaf (or similar foliage), a shinobi can make use of the environment around them to create makeshift weapons in an emergency. In this example, a blade of grass could be used like a senbon needle and the leaf could be used like a shuriken. They aren’t very sturdy though, and last only a few moments before losing their rigidness.

Katon: Ichi (Fire Element: One)
The basic building block of a great many techniques down the line, this is presumably the very same skill that began the study of Katons. Molding their chakra through a simple seal of any choice, the user is able to focus it onto the tip of their index finger in the form of heat. With this, they can cut through things such as glass and rope with some difficulty. However, at this stage, control of one’s chakra is so minimal that this technique can only be used by one finger and essentially has no combat use.

Class Jutsu

Shindan (Diagnosis)
The first step in treatment is understanding the problem. With this skill a shinobi uses their hands to carefully probe a patient for problems. This technique is preformed by kneeling over a patient and slowly running both hands over their body, looking for signs of injury that may not be visible to the naked eye. It can detect things such as internal injury, improper heart rate, non-apparent bone fractures, poisoning, and disease. A ninja of higher rank has learned to use this technique to perform a rudimentary examination of a body to determine cause and time of death. A Genin using this skill takes several minutes of work to determine the nature of a problem, a Chuunin takes less than a minute and a Jounin requires only a few seconds

Teikouryoku (Power of Resistance)
A medical nin must always be aware of becoming a victim of whatever their patient is suffering from. With this technique a medical nin temporarily increases their resistance to diseases and poisons. It has no effect on diseases or poisons already affecting the medical nin. This technique improves as the medical nin grows in power and affords greater resistance to a wider range of diseases and poisons.

Tekishutsu (Extraction)
When a patient’s body has a foreign object in it, such as the point of a shuriken, a senbon needle, or an arrow, it is important to remove the object without further harming the patient. Using this technique the medical nin places their hands on either side of the injured area and uses chakra to very carefully manipulate the surrounding tissues in order to remove the object without causing any further damage. Depending on the severity of the wound and nature of the object, it can take anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes to remove it.

Clan Jutsu

Shikyaku (Four Legged)
The Nekoseki have studied the movements of catss and move just like them on their legs and combine powerful claws slash and kicks at their opponents and performs tackles to sweep the opponent off their feet. Being on your four feet allows also to avoid upper hit easily and moves in an unusual fashion on the battlefield generally surprising the opponent. Nekoseki spend a majority of their time in this form when battling taijutsu-wise.

Tsuuga (Piercing Fang)
A signature attack of the Nekoseki clan. It involves either the cat or the human to spin rapidly, the resulting force looks like a mini-hurricane of sorts in which the user is spinning and using his claws and fangs to "tear" into the opponent. This technique's damage is entirely dependant on the user's strength but will inflict various cuts and scrapes upon the point of impact as well. The user is unable to see while using this jutsu. This forces a rather unintended effect on the Nekoseki. Every time the Nekoseki uses a technique that involves Tsuuga, he must finish the technique through. There is no stopping the technique, unless a powerful barrier is used. While this can be useful at times, this also means that if the Nekoseki misses his initial attack, he must continue attacking, even though he is basically attacking nothing. The attack also makes the Nekoseki vulnerable to other attacks, since the rapid movement basically makes his vision go entirely, as well as his other senses (including his enhanced senses). This applies to both Nekoseki and the cats.

Juujin Bunshin no Jutsu (Beast Man Clone Technique)
When the master uses this jutsu, his appearance changes dramatically. While the typical Nekoseki is already animalistic and rather wild looking, using this justu will make the Nekoseki look extremely feral. Small fangs and claws appear on the Nekoseki, and the master automatically goes into the Shikyaku. These fangs and claws are more effective then the normal claws of the Nekoseki, and are the equivalent of strong kunai, though obviously much smaller. The power of the Nekoseki increases, so his physical attacks and speed are faster.

When the cat uses this jutsu, he complete changes into a clone of his master. However, instead of being a clone of the master in his normal form, the cat looks like his master in his feral form. When using this jutsu, the cat has the same properties as his master, though his stats and jutsu remain his own.

Ninjutsu

Naishoubanashi Ha no Jutsu (Whispering Leaf Technique)
This technique allows the user to send messages over long distances, by focusing their chakra, through the leaves of the trees. Obviously, this doesn't work in settings like deserts, but in their homeland of Konoha, it is used to quickly pass messages across the distance. Both the sender, and receiver of this message must be in full contact with a tree, or other form of plantlife. Only others who know this technique may interpret the messages. This technique is taught specifically in the Hidden Leaf Village.

Henge No Jutsu (Transformation Technique)
A user of this skill has the ability to transform their outer appearance to that of another form, which can be a person or object. However, due to the physical restrictions on the body, the user cannot transform into anything extremely smaller or larger than what they already are. Therefore one could not transform into a shuriken or a small animal. Neither can the user transform into an enlarged or distented form of anything (therefore no such thing as a small human-sized adult elephant, or a human-sized ant). Therefore the user must always be within the same proportions as the original form of the object. Also, the user does not gain any extra physical ability through Henge. (i.e. transforming into a cheetah will not give you a cheetah's speed) Henge is dispelled when the user is touched in an offensive matter. Thus after the user hits the target in their transformed state they revert.

Kakuremino No Jutsu (Magic Cloak Of Invisibility Technique)
A very basic skill utilizing a sheet to help the user in blending with the background. This is actually only used by Academy students.

Genjutsu

Bunshin No Jutsu (Clone Technique)
A jutsu that creates an illusionary clone of the user, in numbers of one or more. The clone disappears after being struck with an attack, and can deal no damage. This jutsu is one of the basics, and required to pass the shinobi academy.

Taijutsu

Kawarimi No Jutsu (Body Switch Technique)
A common jutsu - used to quickly replace a body with a close by object. Creates confusing among the opponent(s) - creating a chance to escape, or return with a larger strike. Useful for avoiding attacks, and hiding from potential enemies. Kawarimi may be used twice per battle.



Clan Village: Konohagakure no Sato

Clan Archetype: Nekoseki Clan Specialist - The Nekoseki may have a cat partner/pet that can be used in tandem with their jutsu. The Nekoseki usually also chooses one primary jutsu among the jutsu forms, and focuses on that specific type. The members of this clan are defined by two specific things. Their feline companions, who are very much capable of being powerful shinobi weapons, and their wild, animal like appearance.

Clan Description: The Nekoseki clan is one that, while newer in Konohagakure, has quickly earned the respect of fellow clans. Following in a close second as the Inuzuka in status, and in fact, a rival clan of theirs, because of the opposite dog/cat affiliations. Currently, the clan houses are located in a wide open range area, which is kept private, where various buildings house both human and feline members of the clan. The area, because of the felines, are heavily forested, and run off into the surrounding area, where many of the larger cats hunt. Part of the large range of the house grounds are to allow the cats ample room for exercise, and more often than not, the younger 'kittens' are found playing stalking games in the high grass.

Within the more human side of the family, there is no real formal hierarchy, save for one similar to animals. The most powerful family member is always considered the clan leader, and the older members are considered elders, almost a council, who must be respected at all times. Many individual family units are within the clan, making their compound seem like a village within a village.

Members of the clan are usually willowy in build, with taunt musculature, usually lean, but strong, in keeping with the feline nature. They excel in high jumping, even without the additional use of chakra, and are capable of climbing even large structures with great ease, with just small amounts of chakra. The hair color of these clan members vary, but are usually shades of orange, red, and blond, varying in colors that vary as much as the cats they affiliate themselves with.

Many of the clan members have fangs, which are the human canine teeth, only enlarged. In the more uncivilized members of the clan, these teeth are abnormal in size, and the members much more resemble their animal counterparts. Clothing worn is usually either their standard shinobi uniform, or any clothing style that isn't too restricting. Each Nekoseki has marks of some type, usually on their face, in the form of black claw marks. This is not always the case amongst the more unique members of the clan.

The feline companions of the clan can range from anything. Cheetah, tiger, lion, even smaller housecats are found, but for the Nekoseki, larger felines are the norm. All of these animals are extremely loyal to their owners and masters, and they are notorious for not accepting any human besides a Nekoseki clan member as their master.

Clan History: The Nekoseki clan has been, for as long as anyone can remember, a part of Konoha, though distanced. The polar opposite of the Inuzuka, these were warriors, primarily women, who were known to ride astride the backs of great cats of various size and breed, with the creatures acting as both mounts, and as companions. The Nekoseki clan members have endured since before the village was in existence, though they were mainly in the wild of Fire Country, outside the constraints of the Hidden Leaf Village.

The majority of clan history, which is passed mouth to mouth, rather than recorded, states that the clan began when the first member, made a pact with a cat demon. Whether this is true or not, is totally unknown. What is known however, is that for as long as anyone can remember, these clan members have had the constant companionship of their animal counterparts. Another common story is that of a wounded cat who was found, and nursed to health by a human. The story says that the cat pledged the loyalty of itself, as well as all it's descendants to the human, and thus the Nekoseki clan was born. Of course, with this being almost 100% hearsay, there's no telling what the actual history of the clan is.

The truth of it is that the first human member of the clan, did in fact nurture a dying cat back to health. With the companionship of the cat, and the two working in tandem, they found that all tasks were easier. What was more, when the cat first went into combat with it's human master, the obvious benefits of this union became apparent. Steadily, more of the same flocked together in Fire Country. Cat owners, cat lovers, and those who merely dominated the animal.

Over time, these groups began to take on the traits of their feline companions. Increased strength and speed, enhanced senses, catlike reflexes, claws and fangs, until with some partnerships, it became hard to determine who was the animal, and who was the human. No one is certain why this was caused, though the members of the clan like to think it was the closeness of their bonds.

Fighting their own personal war with the Inuzuka, the Nekoseki were still distanced from Hidden Leaf Village, until later years, when the formerly nomadic clan settled down inside the village, and began a long standing cooperation with the other shinobi. Though far less mentioned in the histories of Hidden Leaf, the Nekoseki were an ever present force, standing in the background, mostly unnoticed.

The Nekoseki began to train their feline counterparts, in everything from acting as messenger, to assisting with everyday jobs as shinobi, though not the first beastmasters, they're certainly not the last of them, either. The use of chakra enabled them to do things that most tribes would only hope for, something that only the Inuzuka were also able to make possible: complete and total understanding of their pet. With this leap forward, the Nekoseki became more active members of Hidden Leaf Village, joining the ranks of Shinobi, while their animal companions acted as weapons. Used during war times as scouts, with their ability to remain hidden, and stalk their prey, they were often ridden as mounts, those who had grown large enough.

Unfortunately, when war did ravage the land the first time, in epic battle, the Nekoseki clan was devastated by the loss. Losing many of their full grown cats, as well as many more clan members. Many of the cats, however, were protected by the Ninja of the village, earning them the respect of the Nekoseki clan. Just like many of the other clans who formed at the same time as them, their knowledge and power brought prosperity to the land of Hidden Leaf. But sadly, war would again ravage the land, only this time, the numbers were brought to near decimation by the fighting.

And thus we have the clan as they stand today, struggling to put the pieces back together for the youth of the clan, what few are left.

Nekoseki Companion System:

Each Nekoseki who reaches a suitable age (roughly 5 or 6), is given a feline companion, one that is as close to them as a family member would be, in some cases, even closer. The felines of the clan are exceptionally long lived, their lifespan extending into twenties of years, sometimes more, depending on the specific feline. These animals are capable of strength that can sometimes rival, or even surpass that of a human shinobi. All of these animals come in various shapes and sizes, from all types of breeds. House cats are the rarest, as domestic animals aren't usually suitable for the intense training that is demanded of a Nekoseki.

In terms of Jutsu, the Nekoseki cat may only take the clan specific taijutsu list, and its respective techniques. The cat itself may take no other jutsu. A cat with a genin partner may eventually learn other jutsu, but only as their master itself learns them. The cat may also not be at a higher taijutsu stage than their Nekoseki partner, in terms of learning. Most Nekoseki try to keep their companions at the same level, if not a bit lower, to allow for equal growth for the both of them.

The taijutsu list of the Nekoseki clan is the culmination of all of their styles, techniques, and other clan specific abilities. What makes them unique is that, like the Inuzuka, they use their cats to fight alongside them, which can make for a powerful combination.

The cats themselves are intelligent, and may communicate, but only with the owner, and only through a series of sounds, nudges, etc. The larger the animal to begin with, the larger the animal will grow. Some believe that the cats originally used by the clan were dire beasts, much larger in size than their modern day counterpart, but no one is certain if this is true or not, yet another myth in the clan.

No more than one animal is ever used by a specific Nekoseki clan member. If the cat companion for some reason dies, the clan member usually goes into a feral type of mourning, wailing and attacking anything or anyone that disturbs them. While some may eventually find another companion, the bond is never quite the same. Quite a few Nekoseki have gone the way of their cat companions, mourning themselves to death after losing their partner.

Nekoseki Clan Taijutsu:

Type: Ninjutsu/Taijutsu

Description: Using a cat combined with ninjutsu and taijutsu, along with quick and powerful movements is what make the Nekoseki so dangerous on the battlefield. Their fighting style consists of constant movements on the battlefield just like an animal. They are well known to fight on four legs, accompanied with their companion's movements, almost like a tagteam style of fighting. The Nekoseki are very clse to their animalistic nature, and have developed their senses to reflect this.

The usage of this specific style of fighting requires a partner, which would be the Nekoseki's cat companion. Many of the attacks require that both the master and pet know the technique. This is reflected in the way the companion system works. Many of the special techniques will have a requirement of both pet and master. However, in a rare few cases, there will be techniques that show two parts: one where the master does the jutsu by himself, and one where the master does it in tandem with his or her partner.

Notes: Similar to the Inuzuka clan, it is recommended to take a soldier/food pill for the style that both master and pet will use. This works well with the Nekoseki's unique style of fighting, as well as giving additional support and stamina to the pet.

Basics

Animal Support: This is a description that is primarily for the cat, and how the cat assists its master, as well as how well the animal can fight.

Claw & Fangs: The Juujin Bunshin is the ultimate in terms of claw and fangs the Nekoseki can have, capable of countering against the strongest blades. However, in time, the Nekoseki can grow natural claws and fangs that are the equivalent of the Juujin Bunshin claws and fangs. This is the devlopment of those formidable weapons.

Enhanced Senses: As the Nekoseki grows in strength, their natural senses become more animalistic, allowing for greater hearing, and in the case of the Nekoseki who are companioned to Cheetah, much swifter. Each Nekoseki seems to gain the dominant sense of their companion animal, while others are enhanced, none are quite so strong as their animal counterparts best trait.

Note About Tsuuga: The user is unable to see while using this Tsuuga or any other Regular Technique that uses Tsuuga. This forces a rather unintended effect on the Nekoseki. Every time the Nekoseki uses a technique that involves Tsuuga, he must finish the technique through. There is no stopping the technique, unless a powerful barrier is used. While this can be useful at times, this also means that if the Nekoseki misses his initial attack, he must continue attacking, even though he is basically attacking nothing. The attack also makes the Nekoseki vulnerable to other attacks, since the rapid movement basically makes his vision disappear entirely, as well as his other senses (including his enhanced senses). This applies to both Nekoseki and the cats.

Stage One

Animal Support: The beginning stage of training, the Nekoseki has just begun his training in being in synchronization with his pet. They clearly understand each other on the battlefield and can share information through sound (ie. Commands and yipping, or whatever other sound the specific animal makes.). The pet senses being superior to his master can be used to track someone and tell of various dangers. At this stage the pet can just yowl and attack but no fancy tactics.

Claws & Fangs: The Nekoseki just began working on his sharpened claws, while they can’t do much harm at this level, they can serve as substitute for weapons, basic movement and nothing beyond any normal nails could do.

Enhanced Smell: The Nekoseki developed their hearing just like one of a cat and at this stage; they just begin noting the difference between various scents around them. If the Nekoseki get close enough to less than 10 feet of their opponent, they can keep track of their opponents scent with the help of their pet companion.

Regular Techniques

Shikyaku (Four Legged)

The Nekoseki have studied the movements of catss and move just like them on their legs and combine powerful claws slash and kicks at their opponents and performs tackles to sweep the opponent off their feet. Being on your four feet allows also to avoid upper hit easily and moves in an unusual fashion on the battlefield generally surprising the opponent. Nekoseki spend a majority of their time in this form when battling taijutsu-wise.

Tsuuga (Piercing Fang)

A signature attack of the Nekoseki clan. It involves either the cat or the human to spin rapidly, the resulting force looks like a mini-hurricane of sorts in which the user is spinning and using his claws and fangs to "tear" into the opponent. This technique's damage is entirely dependant on the user's strength but will inflict various cuts and scrapes upon the point of impact as well. The user is unable to see while using this jutsu. This forces a rather unintended effect on the Nekoseki. Every time the Nekoseki uses a technique that involves Tsuuga, he must finish the technique through. There is no stopping the technique, unless a powerful barrier is used. While this can be useful at times, this also means that if the Nekoseki misses his initial attack, he must continue attacking, even though he is basically attacking nothing. The attack also makes the Nekoseki vulnerable to other attacks, since the rapid movement basically makes his vision go entirely, as well as his other senses (including his enhanced senses). This applies to both Nekoseki and the cats.

Special Techniques

Juujin Bunshin no Jutsu (Beast Man Clone Technique)

When the master uses this jutsu, his appearance changes dramatically. While the typical Nekoseki is already animalistic and rather wild looking, using this justu will make the Nekoseki look extremely feral. Small fangs and claws appear on the Nekoseki, and the master automatically goes into the Shikyaku. These fangs and claws are more effective then the normal claws of the Nekoseki, and are the equivalent of strong kunai, though obviously much smaller. The power of the Nekoseki increases, so his physical attacks and speed are faster.

When the cat uses this jutsu, he complete changes into a clone of his master. However, instead of being a clone of the master in his normal form, the cat looks like his master in his feral form. When using this jutsu, the cat has the same properties as his master, though his stats and jutsu remain his own.

Stage Two

Animal Support: The pet has become used to the life as a shinobi and now is a precious aid on the battlefield. The pet can jump and follows his master movements easily which allows a better coordination in attacks, carrying items and retrieving items. The item can be small (such as projectile) or medium sized (a katana for example). If the pet learned the Juujin Bunshin technique, the coordination is pretty impressive. The pet can dig holes to hide inside and prepare for a surprise attack.

Claws & Fangs: The Nekoseki can cut the skin of their victims easily now and even take off a bit of flesh, vicious and clear hits.

Enhanced Hearing: Just like the cats, the Nekoseki develops an animalistic hearing which enables them to focus more easily on their opponent’s movements. This is not quite super hearing but would make an Nekoseki harder to be caught off guard, as they learn to distinguish even the faintest ruffling of cloth from the movement of the leaves.

Regular Techniques

Gatsuuga (Double Piercing Fang)

Both master and pet must know this technique. A more advanced and deadly version of the Tsuuga attack. Before only one of the companions was able to attack at once, where now they are able to attack at the same time, increasing the overall damage as well as anything else that may apply. The Nekoseki and his cat are able to aim this attack after they have begun by using smell as well, increasing the chance for a double hit, the notes for Tsuuga apply to this as well.

Stage Three

Animal Support: The pet and his master synchronization allow a better coordination. The pet can urinate on the opponent to blind him if it lands in his eyes or just urinate on him to keep track on his opponent anywhere he goes on the battlefield. The pet is the only one who can track the opponent in such a fashion. The pet can also identify traps.

Claws & Fangs: A substitute for a weapon easily can be used to counter small weapons such as a tanto or a double edged kunai but don’t hope countering a katana with your claws.

Enhanced Senses: At this stage, the Nekoseki is now at a level that only the most highly trained normal shinobi could achieve in terms of smelling and hearing. While still in the realm a normal ninja could sense, they are advanced enough that most shinobi could only barely be able to feel.

Regular Technique

Tei Douteki Saiten (Air Dynamic Marking)

A very comical jutsu, but effective none the less. The feline counterpart aims with it's genitals and sprays it's urine onto the opponent. The reasoning behind this makes up for the fact that it only seems like a joke. If this urine enters any open orifices (cuts, mouth, eyes) it burns much like acid, causing a fair amount of pain, the only real way to get rid of the painful and disgusting fluid is too wash it away with water. The scent is also used to track the opponent, especially useful in any type of haze, including clouds, mist, smoke, or deep forested areas.

Stage Four

Animal Support: The cat and master are now practically one. When the cat as at this level, he can communicate incredibly well with his master. It is the basic equivalent of mental communication, though not as perfect as telepathy. The cat is just able to project his/her emotions and feelings through certain movements and body posture, and the master will be able to understand instantly, even if the cat is far away.

Claws & Fangs: The claws are now strong enough to counter weapons such as a Katana and the like. The claws have become a powerful asset of the Nekoseki.

Enhanced Senses: This is when the senses of the Nekoseki leaves the realm of humans and enters the feline world. The Nekoseki's senses are nowhere near as good as a cat’s yet, but he is slowly getting there.

Regular Techniques

Tsuuga Rendan (Piercing Fang Combo)

Both master and pet must know this technique. Utilizing the idea of Gatsuuga in a new method, the feline or Nekoseki attack the opponent with a regular Tsuuga, once they finish the other partner follows up with a Tsuuga as well. It is in this method that the combo can continue, one has the time to recover while the other strikes again, thus creating a continous whirlwind of damage. This can obviously be quite dangerous for the opponent. The rules for Tsuuga apply to this technique.

X Slash

Both master and pet must know this technique. Quite simple, the cat and his master run up to the opponent and at the last moment, they switch position performing an X slash with their claws. The technique often surprises the opponent and can clearly change the tides of a battle. It is a simple tactic yet useful.

Stage Five

Animal Support: This aspect of the cat has not changed from the previous stage.

Claws & Fangs: Now strong enough to even compete with the strength of cleaver swords, the natural weapons of the Nekoseki are quite deadly.

Enhanced Senses: The Nekoseki now has the complete senses of a cat, though there is a slight problem. The Nekoseki also has the senses of a human, such as better vision and a kind of chakra sense that shinobi all have, but cannot use these human senses at the same time as his feline ones. Switching between the two senses takes a single post.

Regular Technique

Juujin Gufuu Buyou (Beast Human Tornado Dance)

Both master and pet must know this technique. A very deadly jutsu once again playing off of Gatsuuga and increasing the damage and field radius. Circling around the opponent at first, the Nekoseki and his companion perform seperate Tsuuga's, creating a miniature whirlwind around their target. The result is a torrent of wind that pulls the opponent upwards, slowly causing gashes upon their body until the Nekoseki and his cat break away from the tornado (must exit the tornado the post after the attack is initiated), causing gravity to take effect and dropping the opponent into the ground. The result can be fairly devastating if the opponent is dropped from a high enough altitude. The rules for Tsuuga apply to this technique.

Stage Six

Animal Support: The union between cat and master is now only a few steps away from perfection. The only thing that keeps them away from being the perfect combination is the fact that they must be together to be able to fight in such a magnificent combination of instinctual movement and attack. Communication between the two is no longer needed, for they already know what the other would do. The only problem with this is that the two must be together. If the master and cat cannot sense each other at all, this synchrony is gone entirely.

Claws & Fangs: This aspect of the Nekoseki and cats have not changed at all.

Enhanced Senses: The problem of the previous stage is now gone, though now completely. The Nekoseki can effortlessly switch between the two senses, but cannot keep them both going at the same time.

Regular Technique

Ningenteki Hanone (Dual Fang)
The master and pet must be in Ningenteki Hitsu Kemono form. A jutsu which takes the teachings upon which Tsuuga and Gatsuuga are based upon and improves them to an insane level. This technique is only able to be performed after combining into a Ningenteki Hitsu Kemono. Performing the jutsu like one would a Tsuuga, a giant vortex of pure feral rage and strength is created, this jutsu is regarded as the trump card of many Nekoseki. The giant vortex is extremely large, but at the same time it makes the Ningenteki Hitsu Kemono blind, making them either strike at random or rely on their sense of smell to follow their opponent if he has been covered in the feline's urine. The radius of this jutsu alone is fifty feet, and within twenty feet outside of this radius rather small gashes can be caused due to the massive shockwaves caused, making it truly a deadly jutsu. The rules for Tsuuga apply to this technique.

Special Technique

Ningenteki Hitsu Kemono (Dual Head Beast)

Both master and pet must know this technique. A special combination jutsu of the Nekoseki. The Nekoseki and his feline companion combine together after making physical contact to create this rather large and deadly beast. This technique is the final stepping stone for a Nekoseki clan member, and is used as a last resort technique for the most part. After combining, the two become one in the form of a extremely large two headed feline, the appearance factor is dependant on the feline counterparts fur color, facial features, etc. Once this jutsu is used, the Ningenteki Hitsu Kemono gains a great enhancement to their physical abilities, but once this jutsu runs out the feline and Nekoseki will be completely exhausted and unable to continue battle.

Stage Seven

Animal Support: The mastery of the spiritual bond between an animal and man has been reached. There can be no further development in one's body or mind. The feline and Nekoseki clan member are now one, able to react to each other's movements merely on instinct alone; they have become a duo able to take down the most skilled of ninja. This level of power is usually only attainable by the clan head, and as such, it brings with it a level of fame and fear unimaginable otherwise.

Claw & Fang: Utilizing quick dashes and powerful strikes with any part of the body, the Nekoseki is now a walking weapon of mass destruction. The fearsome strength of the claws and fangs of the user only enhances their destructive ability. Only steel and enhanced objects can stop the sharp strike of claw or bite of fang.

Enhanced Senses: Perfect combination. The sense of a cat and the sense of a human are now combined within the Nekoseki, so much so that the Nekoseki can easily keep both going at the same time, though he can choose to turn off one or the other to have a better feel for either.

Special Technique

Taishitaneko Unari: (Great Cat's Roar)

The Nekoseki and his cat must be in Ningenteki Hitsu Kemono form. The Nekoseki and his cat runs up and combine a massive dual headed beast, roughly the size of a large horse, sometimes larger, who perform a powerful roar. The roar is actually an immense blast where the cat and the master come in the form of Ningenteki Hitsu Kemono, the roar coming from the cat is so terrible that it paralyze anybody in a 20 feet radius which makes this hit an extremely lethal one and almost always sure to land. The best bet of the person to escape this terrible combo would be to have a teammate ready to help him get out of the way.
