Shoton
__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 must 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.).
___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 crystallise 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.
• Required to use String of Glory
• Restores 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.
