[Senju Kazuto]

The Forty-Fourth Training Ground was always bustling with activity. After all, in the fenced ten kilometre perimeter was home of hordes of flora and fauna that seemed to be ripped away from tales and legends from the very myths that had been passed from one generation to the next. Yet even a place known as the forest of death, live was very much a part of it, the cruel circle of life continued here as it did in the rest of the world, magnified and amplified beyond the norms of beats that roamed around the wilds of the world. Thus it made this place, the perfect location for a reunion of cousins that called two different villages mothers. Perhaps not kin by blood, but by intention and belief. By allegiance and oaths that had being signed with courage and honor. On the massive branch of an equally massive tree a figure would appear, materializing from the very shadows that the verdant canopy produced, his weight and his steps doing nothing to move influence of the weight of the tree. He would cross his arms as he saw glimpsed barely imperceptible dashes across trees, in the branches and indeed on the soil that would be visible through the gaps in the green sea of leaves. Kazuto nodded in approval as he watched the ANBU that he had assigned for the joint training to perform admirably. Learning from the Kusa shinobi as much as they were teaching their allies in how their ways could be similar but also have nuanced differences that made both approaches suitable for the purpose of the organization and village they served. But ultimately he saw the utility of forming bonds of camaraderie between organizations that would undoubtedly work with one another whenever war broke out. "Your shinobi are very well drilled." He said as he turned to the woman that had materialized behind him. "My compliments to your leadership, Airu." He said, looking over his shoulder as he waited for the woman to stand next to him. She was smaller than him, slight even. But even so he could detect that she was a someone to be wary off if she they were to fight. The idea was enticing and he was sure that for her she would also feel the same. "I'm not sure about you, but I would like to do some training as well... I fear that desk work will one day undo me."

[Kuishinbou Airu]

This infamous forest, the surrounding fields, the slight patches of water scattered to the point of neigh non-existence. This land was fierce, the creatures that called this home. It was actually rather calming, a balance was maintained through odd means, monstrous ones. Still, things like this didn't bother the Kuishinbou woman, her clan was pegged as monsters, something expected given their methods both of survival and combat. It was bittersweet but Airu and the rest of her group didn't come to Konoha for games. Rather, they were here for joint training, it was admirable two ally nations coming together to better each other. Denizens, like that bunny, were... a unique twist to those of Kusagakure. However, the worlds weren't that different, just unique. Opposite sides of the same coin.

Airu smirked as she saw brief flashes through out the area, it seemed as though much of the Kusa and Konoha shinobi were keeping pace, fighting like a dance, keeping up move-to-move, where some faltered, others achieved. Most of both sides were almost equal, it was impossible to tell the difference without bias. Only those in their own sessions can tell. As she neared Kazuto, it was quite off-putting he still knew even with her trained silence. The woman gave it no second though however as he had commented on the skills, the training of her troops. Airu nodded, not sure if she was in a position for him to see, once again looking out to the masses. "Thank you Kazuto, I didn't do it on my own though, each man and women here have a drive to protect their home, no matter what it takes. I merely helped them hone their resolve. As I have seen you have done likewise, Kazuto-san."

The slight pause was quickly filled by a modest comment from the woman, "I don't believe we could attain this strength alone though. Knowing we have a great ally helped push them, they strive to be as well-versed as Konohagakure shinobi, I admire the resolve." Airu stated, long standing next to him, at least a ways off to avoid invading personal space. She heard him address her once more and turned to him, the haunting rabbit mask staring into his soul. Yet, there was a warmth to it as he continued to speak, when he finished his request, Airu gave a small bow to Kazuto, looking back to the dark garbed man once she straightened herself.

"It'd be an honor, Kazuto! Believe me, I agree that I'm tired of paperwork, especially now." Airu bit her tongue, daring not speak of the sudden death of a new Lady prospect. Of her mother. "After all, that is why we are here today! Now... is this spot comfortable or do you wish a new location?" The woman would ask, if he wished to move, so be it. If not, Airu took a relaxed guard stance, wishing to fight in a manner she was comfortable with.

Curse of the Taberu no Hito [World Eaters] #1
Granting her access to the complete Kekkei Genkai the Kuishinbou's are renowned for, the curse, Taberu no Hito, this bloodline ability grants Airu the digestive tract of a god. She is able to consume anything and everything in her wake, having the natural durability of unfathomable proportions. All clan members can safely ingest poison with no adverse effects and Airu is no exception. Topping it off, Airu has teeth of extreme durability and bite force, with legendary regenerative properties for her teeth via active concentration. Like an anaconda, like the clan, Airu can unhinge her jaw and consume even larger objects (up to four times her body mass) of her own liking. Debris to actual food sources are rapidly dissolved. With relative strength, she can digest items (equipment, minerals, actual bone to the hardness of 9 on the Mohrs hardness scale). There is nothing the woman wouldn't eat, but she must constantly eat large amounts. If she goes lacking of food to long, she suffers incredible pain of starvation with death just feet away. Ready to rid her of such pain that debilitates her, transforming her into a feral and expendable asset till she can consume or time runs out and death meets her.

Clan's Hunter #2
The clan curse brings her the blessing of increased smell and taste. She can smell up to 500 meters away, with a taste so vibrant it can allow 125 meters of tasting air changes, she can detect possible changes of ingredients within a dish, the addition of something toxic, the scent of an individual present, or the taste of ash, iron, and blood, in the air. Incredibly helpful with the subtleties of the world around them. And while they find it quite easy to detect the changes in the world around them, it does not equate to being able to identify specifics that they are not familiar with. She can not identify a person or a poison by scent alone if they have never been crossed before. The scent alone can not give her any indication of what an individual is doing or where they are looking, only that their presence is nearby. Overall, it only increases senses beyond the hunter shinobi trained in detection. Airu uses these advantages to gain her position and become one of the most feared and respected Kuishinbou.

Wrath of the Fury #3

Immense Sea of Power #4
Since birth, fueled by her Kekkei Genkai, Airu has enormous reserves fit for the monster she is. Allowing her to continue greatly beyond what is expected in a normal battle. The amount of jutsus with her pool is not indefinite but it does take a while to wear the woman out. Consumption during battle has no regenerative capabilities.

Silently Killing the World #5
Seemingly an ANBU natural, Airu quickly mastered the art of Silent Killing in order to be successful in her missions and all of her responsibilities. Airu's skills were accented quite well with her Kekkei Genkai, aiding her proficiency using this. Because of this, she can move as soft as a ghost, capable of taking multiple targets out without making a noise, along with becoming one of the best stealth agents. Despite Airu's great skill, she's only human, which leaves room for error.

"This spot is as good as any, after all, we ANBU rarely get to chose where we fight." Kazuto replied as he held his helm between his hands, bringing it above his head before sliding it into place. With a soft hiss the armor seal the warmth and humidity of the forest around them. Despite himself, he felt the excitement of fighting with a peer, someone that would certainly be a match for his own skills and in the process, he might as well test his advancement with his reflexes and dodging that he had been working so diligently at. No better than Airu whose skill he knew only by reference. After all no one became ANBU Captain on accident. "When you're ready." Kazuto replied, his voice distorted into a metallic rattle after it was filtered through the seams and rebreather of his helm. A tense standoff would ensue as both ANBU would wait for the other one to do the first move. Wind blew and with it leaves softly scattered in the mist as if the very forest was beckoning them to begin their spar. As he held the sign of confrontation with his left hand, as his right hand slowly reached for his sword, eyes narrowing behind the slits of his helm as he awaited for the woman to show a reaction, to do something that would give him an idea of what went behind that mask. She was waiting for me to do the first movement. He thought as grip tightened his grip around his sword. He took a first step, and the a second, his momentum increasing as his gait carried him forward, his steps being hollow and void against the bark of the massive branch. His left hand releasing the shape of the seal and moving towards one of the satchels behind his back, pulling a round object before he would flick object before Airu, with a pop and a crack, followed by a hiss of smoke as white haze hid his approach, the information that he gave her would be cut from there, she would know that his hand was at the hilt of his sword. It was a misdirection. As the fingers of his left hand would quickly flick through hand-signs now embedded into his muscle memory. Going through the smoke he would raise his hand as his chakra coursed through him, fingers extended as his cells began to birth bark that hardened and sharpened into a stake that was released with a soft pop, a barrage of three would fly towards the direction of Airu as he would advance through the haze that he had created, flicking fingers as he prepared for another technique.

NAME: Mokuton: Sashiki no Jutsu [Wood Release: Cutting Technique]
RANK: C
CHAKRA USAGE: Low
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu
ELEMENT: Mokuton
DESCRIPTION:
A versatile technique where the user can produce sharp wooden spikes from their body to either fashion short-range weapons akin to a makeshift sword, or else use them as long-range projectiles, where the branches' growth can be triggered remotely, skewering the enemy as a result.

Items Used:

1x Smoke Bomb

Shadow Raiment

SA Used:


The Branching Path

A true-born Senju, Kazuto has mastered Mokuton. Hailed as the one greatest master of the Kekkei Genkai, his abilities with Mokuton are held in high regard, mastering the many techniques for which the clan is renown whilst also bending his ingenuity to create a discipline of his own referred by those within the clan as merely the branching path and by him as Senbonzakura. His techniques can either be great in power and scope or subtle and deceptively simple, creating either durable wooden constructs, imaginative tools for a wide range of occasions or deadly hails storms of cherry blossom petals which Kazuto wields with great mastery.

Might of Heroes

Descendant of a great lineage, the blood of great and legendary heroes of the clan courses through the veins of Kazuto as they do with any other Senju. As such he has been bestowed with robust pools of chakra upon his birth. Through intense training and countless missions these pools of chakra have expanded quite considerably, becoming a Furnace of Might within him, allowing him to fight for longer periods of time and casting powerful techniques without much concern to run out of stamina. Although this chakra makes his control suffer, his impressive reserves make up for this deficit in control.

Paragon of War

His mind is as keen and sharp as blade recently sharpened by a whetstone. Through the learning of tactics, records, on field experience and on the fly ingenuity, the Senju is able to plan before, during and after a fierce fray. It is thanks to this that he can discern the correct course of action and what stratagems and actions should he take. He is able to read and keep the Flow of Battle as flexible as possible. His tactics range from the most subtle ambush within dark corridors to even the most brutal and grim battlefield.

Fell-Handed

After much study and training, Kazuto achieved the ability to weave hand seals and cast techniques with just One Hand. A rare skill among shinobi and a sign of great prowess, the Senju is able to form hand signs forgoing the need to bring the digits of both his hands together, he is able to string a number of techniques without worrying during a fray to be unable to complete techniques if someone targets his hand, as he is able to defend himself with the off-hand by either the use of a technique or by wielding a weapon.

Atramentar

An adept of shadows, Kazuto has shown himself to be quite proficient in the art of Assassination. He acts as a clinical apparition as he moves towards his enemies, driven by a relentless and ruthless zeal to dispatch his target and those that stand between him and his quarry with a cold and calculated fury that is unleashed in quick bursts as he launches himself against the enemy, striking fear as he leaves an ever present trail of vanquished enemies behind and very few, if any enemies behind at all.

[Kuishinbou Airu]

The woman nodded at Kazuto's decision to stay put, acknowledging his decision with a word of confirmation. As he acknowledged whenever the woman was ready, Airu's back tensed; now was her chance to prove her skill against the best of Konoha. She had time to wonder if she was ready, now, Airu knew whether she was ready or not, ANBU didn't get a chance to always prepare, some had to act in the moment. She didn't know where she stood but when the two readied and performed the seal of confrontation, the contract was signed, there was no turning back now. She tried to map out what Kazuto planned, where his weak points were, when the appropriate time to attack was. As far as she could see, he had a pretty good stance and left no signs open, but there was always a difference between visibility in an offensive, defensive, and a neutral stance.

He slowly moved his sword, probably fishing for an instant reaction. Why would he move slow and telegraph his move. Airu awaited for Kazuto to strike, itching to attack but resolve holding. As he made his way to the woman, his steps void of any sound, the gait increased as he prepared to strike; only, Kazuto only prepared as he released a smoke bomb at her. It's gray smoke clouding and blocking sight. All she remembered is the fact he was ready to strike, the fear of being caught off-guard so early forced the Kuishinbou to cough up 3 axes stored in her stomach seal haphazardly into the smoke.

If the axes by some chance hit Kazuto, it'd catch him off guard enough for Airu to back away from the smoke, moving to an uncompromised position; in the likely event they missed, Airu would attempt to guard herself with her arms, uncertain if they would actually make it in time. Regardless, match begin!

After learning Fūin no I [Stomach of Sealing], the user can burp up to 300 stored basic weapons (shuriken, kunai, and senbon), enhancing it with their wind chakra to attack within a 200 ft. range. This can shower the opponent with extremely fast-moving weapons enhanced with wind chakra. The wind makes the projectiles move faster and increase their cutting potential. It makes a loud roaring sound that can cause hearing loss to those who are too close for (3 posts, 5 posts if they have a superhuman hearing). The second effect only works for those 50 ft. away from the caster.

[Senju Kazuto]

The Senju advanced through the haze that he had created, eyes hidden behind the mask as they peered for something, ears awaiting to pick something through the cloud that emerged from his smoke bomb. Eyes would widen all of the sudden as he saw the vague shape of objects flying towards him. In the ephemeral seconds between detecting what seemed to be an ax and being struck by it, he would flick the final seal for the technique that he had prepared. A shield sprouted to life from his left forearm as he would duck and dodge the first of the axes and then raised the circular wooden shield before him, sensing the contact of the steel against the polished surface of the shield, moving his hand to a side and pushing the ax as he detached the shield from his arm. Kazuto would step forward, emerging like a ghost through the mist, finding that the woman had backed away, moving against the natural barrier formed by the massive trunk to the tree. She had retreated to save herself from an attack, using her own equipment as a cover for the retreat. Smart. It meant that she had considered a escape plan and thus charging at her would be ill advised. As a hand dove into the shuriken holsters fastened to his left leg, another would weave hand signs, the air around his right hand vibrating and ionizing as the particles around him resonated with the energy that the Senju was conjuring. An electric howl emerged and a surge of lightning exploded from his hand as lightning in the shape of a wolf ran towards Airu with a blood curling howl. With a flick of his left hand then he would toss the imbuing them lightning chakra, releasing two crackling beacons towards the woman as he attempted to funnel her out into a position that he could use to attack.

DESCRIPTION:
After a single handseal Raiton chakra is sent to the user's hand. The user then makes lightning expand into the form of a hound or wolf, and remains connected to it by a chain of lighting. The user can make the beast go as far as thirty five meters before the user's direct control of it from such a distance starts to strain the user's chakra pool. This jutsu's deadliness stems from its unpredictability, though if the opponent is struck by the wolf, one will find their body rocked with a powerful charge of lightning, enough to throw a them off their feet and incapacitated.

This jutsu greatly increases the cutting power of a weapon, allowing it to cleave through most natural objects with ease. It cannot cut through other Chakra enhanced blades.

[Kuishinbou Airu]

There were many things the woman had doubted, actually slowing him was one of them. As the two of the three axes whizzed past him, Airu grew a faint grin as Kazuto's sudden shield received the impact of one but as he discarded it, she retreated to an uncompromised position at last thus far. I have never seen that ability, he just... created a shield and discarded it when he was done... was-was it out of wood? Steel? Airu's quick evaluation of the battle before her truly seemed like something no less than the tales of Konoha's powers within ANBU. Frankly, Airu didn't know what she had signed up for, it excited her to no end however. Eyes focused on him, the seals he was performing worried her to no end. Especially as the air seemed to cackle and excite around him.

"Shi-" as all Airu could say before her instincts told her to act. Lightning as an element was bad enough but in a jutsu could be catastrophic. Raising a single seal, the Kuishinbou woman conjured a Shadow clone of all things almost in sync to Kazuto's Lightning Running Beast. The clone watched for a moment to see how the captain might move the wolf, predicting it's path before raising her own handseal dashing into the Lightning Beast's to take the jutsu in Airu's place. She wasn't out of the woods yet, before dispersing, the clone noticed the man throw two electrified pieces of metal. The memories upon dispersing returned to Airu forced her to also use Shift in order to avoid such devastating impacts. The woman narrowed her eyes under her mask as she weaved seals of her own to counter attack.

Kazuto wasn't holding back, this was good, it meant she can go out too. Launching a total of four dragon head fireballs at her opponent, Airu used the fireballs to hide another set of seals; one completed, Airu faded from sight and smell, using her ANBU training to silently move into position, using whatever she could to set up a trap and level the playing field. These woods, while likely his domain, was now her backyard, doing whatever it took to move into position, waiting for him to react as she did.

NAME: Kage Bunshin no Jutsu [Shadow Clone Technique]
RANK: B
CHAKRA USAGE: Medium
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu [General]
ELEMENT: None
HANDSEALS: 1
DESCRIPTION:
Kage Bunshin is a Jounin level Ninjutsu technique. The normal Bunshin technique creates a copy of the ninja that lacks any substance. The Kage Bunshin distributes the ninja's chakra evenly among the clones and creates a real copy with form and substance. The clone itself can also utilize any jutsu the original ninja knows, as well as their kekkei genkai. When the clone finally disperses, any new knowledge it has gained along with it's remaining chakra are passed back to the original ninja and any additional clones. This makes Kage Bunshin an excellent training method if the ninja has the chakra capacity and stamina to maintain the Kage Bunshins for an extended period of time. This allows the ninja to essentially reduce the time it takes to train and learn with each clone added. This is especially true when used with Tajuu Kage Bunshin.

A simple jutsu in which after a single handseal [Same as activating an exploding tag] the user uses quick bursts of air out of his body to either propel themselves forward, to the sides or back. This jutsu is very useful in a sword fight as it allows the user to nearly instantly change from stationary to full speed and then back to stationary in an instant. While this jutsu does allow the user so quickly change direction and achieve top speed in an instant, it does in no way speed up the users movements beyond their capability.

With careful chakra control, a shinobi is capable of manipulating the means to which light affects their body as well as what odors escape them, completely concealing oneself from both sight and smell. While in this state, the user will fail to even cast a shadow. This leaves the shinobi in a state that makes them almost impossible to detect outside of chakra-detection, the other three senses, and noting disturbances to their surroundings.

CLONE USED:
NAME: Haiu[Shift]
RANK: C
CHAKRA USAGE: Medium
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu
ELEMENT: Fuuton
DESCRIPTION:
A simple jutsu in which after a single handseal [Same as activating an exploding tag] the user uses quick bursts of air out of his body to either propel themselves forward, to the sides or back. This jutsu is very useful in a sword fight as it allows the user to nearly instantly change from stationary to full speed and then back to stationary in an instant. While this jutsu does allow the user so quickly change direction and achieve top speed in an instant, it does in no way speed up the users movements beyond their capability.

[Senju Kazuto]

Kazuto had not expected for the attacks to succeed, they had been an opening salvo to test the waters, to see how Airu would fare and react. She was cautious, not necessarily fighting in a retreat or not whishing to cross blades with a member of an allied village. But rather she was studying him, trying to get her own opinion about him for the amount of techniques and tactics that he used, trying to find a chink in the armor a gap in the offense. She had used the clone as a sacrificial lamb for that reason, to buy herself time and to allow her to get an idea of the reach of his abilities. But as she would dodge, as the clone would be dispersed in a blast of lightning, Kazuto would weave his own hand signs and as a reaction to it, the massive tree they were one and its siblings around him spoke with a deep rumble, the creak and crack of ancient trunks as thick as skyscrapers. For a brief second, the woman would see him, standing as her hand signs would conclude and from her lips and hellish flames in the form of a dragon emerge like a bullet towards him, searing the very air and burning the bark of the branch they stood in. He felt the heath of the conflagration through the layers of his suit and as the flames were upon him, threatening to reduce him to ash and dust, the surface of the bark still untouched by the flames turned liquid, the very mass of the tree absorbing him until he became one with the nature, escaping the raw destruction of the fire as flames impregnated the bark, leaving a trail of flames and whole punched through one of the trees. Silence settled like a shroud as Kazuto and Airu hid in their own way. The spar losing the explosiveness that had lasted for a few seconds. Each of them awaiting for someone to move. Still merged with the tree, Kazuto moved to a branch that overlooked side of their fight, the dark scar of the branch still evident even in the waning light of the sun as the canopy and clouds conspired to block the golden ray of the sun. A bait was necessary and from within the tree, his hands came together, creating another clone, making it spawn from the very surface of the tre, hiding in the shadows created by the shave of leaves and the limb of the tree itself. A target that she Airu would look for without doubt and hopefully pounce. Awaiting for that the clone would weave his own hand signs and wait.

NAME: Mori no ō no yurikago [Cradle of The Forest King]
RANK: S
CHAKRA USAGE: High to activate, Low to Maintain
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu
ELEMENT: Mokuton
HANDSEALS: twelve hand seals
TRIGGER: N/A
DESCRIPTION:

A highly advanced infiltration technique the shinobi performs it by flooding their system with Mokuton chakra thus letting the user merge with the forest traversing from tree to tree and plant to plant through root and branch contact. While doing so their chakra signature becomes one with nature making it incredibly difficult for any, but the most superior chakra sensors to detect them. Though those with the knowledge of senjutsu find it far easier to discern their whereabouts.

NAME: Moku Bunshin no Jutsu [Wood Clone Technique]
RANK: B
CHAKRA USAGE: Low
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu/Kekkei Genkai
ELEMENT: Mokuton [Wood Release]
DESCRIPTION:
A clone that is created by altering the user's own cells with chakra with the 'tiger,' 'dog,' and 'snake' seals. It has more endurance than the normal shadow clones and doesn't disappear when hit by the enemies' attacks. Moreover, since it has the ability to merge with plants and trees, it is also great for reconnaissance missions. They have the ability to travel far distances from the user and are able to communicate with the original. The clones can be as simple in function as a wooden dummy for use in the Body Replacement Technique.

Clone:

1 Jutsu Prepared.

SA Used:

The Branching Path

A true-born Senju, Kazuto has mastered Mokuton. Hailed as the one greatest master of the Kekkei Genkai, his abilities with Mokuton are held in high regard, mastering the many techniques for which the clan is renown whilst also bending his ingenuity to create a discipline of his own referred by those within the clan as merely the branching path and by him as Senbonzakura. His techniques can either be great in power and scope or subtle and deceptively simple, creating either durable wooden constructs, imaginative tools for a wide range of occasions or deadly hails storms of cherry blossom petals which Kazuto wields with great mastery.

Might of Heroes

Descendant of a great lineage, the blood of great and legendary heroes of the clan courses through the veins of Kazuto as they do with any other Senju. As such he has been bestowed with robust pools of chakra upon his birth. Through intense training and countless missions these pools of chakra have expanded quite considerably, becoming a Furnace of Might within him, allowing him to fight for longer periods of time and casting powerful techniques without much concern to run out of stamina. Although this chakra makes his control suffer, his impressive reserves make up for this deficit in control.

Paragon of War

His mind is as keen and sharp as blade recently sharpened by a whetstone. Through the learning of tactics, records, on field experience and on the fly ingenuity, the Senju is able to plan before, during and after a fierce fray. It is thanks to this that he can discern the correct course of action and what stratagems and actions should he take. He is able to read and keep the Flow of Battle as flexible as possible. His tactics range from the most subtle ambush within dark corridors to even the most brutal and grim battlefield.

Fell-Handed

After much study and training, Kazuto achieved the ability to weave hand seals and cast techniques with just One Hand. A rare skill among shinobi and a sign of great prowess, the Senju is able to form hand signs forgoing the need to bring the digits of both his hands together, he is able to string a number of techniques without worrying during a fray to be unable to complete techniques if someone targets his hand, as he is able to defend himself with the off-hand by either the use of a technique or by wielding a weapon.

Atramentar

An adept of shadows, Kazuto has shown himself to be quite proficient in the art of Assassination. He acts as a clinical apparition as he moves towards his enemies, driven by a relentless and ruthless zeal to dispatch his target and those that stand between him and his quarry with a cold and calculated fury that is unleashed in quick bursts as he launches himself against the enemy, striking fear as he leaves an ever present trail of vanquished enemies behind and very few, if any enemies behind at all.

[Kuishinbou Airu]

Airu smiled as she found the ability to dodge against his charged senbon and even happier that it appeared as if she caught him off guard, launching the burning dragons at him. After Airu took this liberty to camouflage and prepare for a more, subtle attack, the dust settled and it seemed as if her playmate either got vaporized or got away, somehow. Airu assumed the latter and waited among the forest, a near perfect invisibility and sound negation thanks to her training probably hid her better, maybe. However, as the woman sniffed the air in an attempt to find the Konoha shinobi, all she could smell was the sweat of other ANBU training and that of burning wood. Where the hell is he?

It would seem fate had an answer as she saw Kazuto come out of the bark, So that bastard does have that wood ability! No wonder he's unharmed. Airu thought as he opened her mouth, not entirely sure if this combo would work. To be perfectly honest, she has never used this exact combo which made it all the more riskier and rewarding if it struck. Airu unsealed her chain weapon from her stomach seal and the Fūton chakra within would aid the chain in launching from her mouth at the now revealed Kazuto. Hopefully, he got the angle right to catch and pierce when he is off guard.

In the event it caught him, using the sealing and her eating speed, she would hopefully pull Kazuto and the chain back towards her, hopefully he cored a match point. All the while, completely unaware this was actually a clone.

SAs Used:
Curse of the Taberu no Hito [World Eaters] #1
Granting her access to the complete Kekkei Genkai the Kuishinbou's are renowned for, the curse, Taberu no Hito, this bloodline ability grants Airu the digestive tract of a god. She is able to consume anything and everything in her wake, having the natural durability of unfathomable proportions. All clan members can safely ingest poison with no adverse effects and Airu is no exception. Topping it off, Airu has teeth of extreme durability and bite force, with legendary regenerative properties for her teeth via active concentration. Like an anaconda, like the clan, Airu can unhinge her jaw and consume even larger objects (up to four times her body mass) of her own liking. Debris to actual food sources are rapidly dissolved. With relative strength, she can digest items (equipment, minerals, actual bone to the hardness of 9 on the Mohrs hardness scale). There is nothing the woman wouldn't eat, but she must constantly eat large amounts. If she goes lacking of food to long, she suffers incredible pain of starvation with death just feet away. Ready to rid her of such pain that debilitates her, transforming her into a feral and expendable asset till she can consume or time runs out and death meets her.

Clan's Hunter #2
The clan curse brings her the blessing of increased smell and taste. She can smell up to 500 meters away, with a taste so vibrant it can allow 125 meters of tasting air changes, she can detect possible changes of ingredients within a dish, the addition of something toxic, the scent of an individual present, or the taste of ash, iron, and blood, in the air. Incredibly helpful with the subtleties of the world around them. And while they find it quite easy to detect the changes in the world around them, it does not equate to being able to identify specifics that they are not familiar with. She can not identify a person or a poison by scent alone if they have never been crossed before. The scent alone can not give her any indication of what an individual is doing or where they are looking, only that their presence is nearby. Overall, it only increases senses beyond the hunter shinobi trained in detection. Airu uses these advantages to gain her position and become one of the most feared and respected Kuishinbou.

Wrath of the Fury #3
??

Immense Sea of Power #4
Since birth, fueled by her Kekkei Genkai, Airu has enormous reserves fit for the monster she is. Allowing her to continue greatly beyond what is expected in a normal battle. The amount of jutsus with her pool is not indefinite but it does take a while to wear the woman out. Consumption during battle has no regenerative capabilities.

Silently Killing the World #5
Seemingly an ANBU natural, Airu quickly mastered the art of Silent Killing in order to be successful in her missions and all of her responsibilities. Airu's skills were accented quite well with her Kekkei Genkai, aiding her proficiency using this. Because of this, she can move as soft as a ghost, capable of taking multiple targets out without making a noise, along with becoming one of the best stealth agents. Despite Airu's great skill, she's only human, which leaves room for error.

NAME: I no Shīringu Hassha-tai Beruchi [Stomach of Sealing Projectile Belch]
RANK: B-rank
CHAKRA USAGE: Medium-High
CLASSIFICATION: Bukijutsu
ELEMENT: Fuuton (Wind)
DESCRIPTION:

After learning Fūin no I [Stomach of Sealing], the user can burp up to 300 stored basic weapons (shuriken, kunai, and senbon), enhancing it with their wind chakra to attack within a 200 ft. range. This can shower the opponent with extremely fast-moving weapons enhanced with wind chakra. The wind makes the projectiles move faster and increase their cutting potential. It makes a loud roaring sound that can cause hearing loss to those who are too close for (3 posts, 5 posts if they have a superhuman hearing). The second effect only works for those 50 ft. away from the caster.

NAME: Meisaigakure no Jutsu [Hiding with Camouflage Technique]
RANK: A
CHAKRA USAGE: Medium [Continuous]

NAME: Fūin no I [Stomach of Sealing]
RANK: B-rank
CHAKRA USAGE: Medium
CLASSIFICATION: Fuuinjutsu
ELEMENT: N/A
DESCRIPTION:

Upon reaching chuunin, the clansmen will get a special seal on their stomach and the roof of their mouth. They can use a variation of the generic sealing jutsu. It allows her to seal away weapons (inanimate objects or corpses only) with the compacity of several large sealing scrolls. The user just needs to collect chakra in her stomach and mouth, and with a few handseals, they can seal and summon the items by "swallowing/vomiting" them, sealing them away into the formula tattoo on their stomach and in their mouth. If killed, the objects can be freed by another clansman with this jutsu.

NAME: Kyokutan'na Shokuji Sokudo [Extreme Eating Speed]
RANK: D-rank
CHAKRA USAGE: Low
CLASSIFICATION: Taijutsu
ELEMENT: N/A
DESCRIPTION:

The Kuishinbou will increase the speed of their arms and mouth, allowing one to eat much faster than any normal person should be able to. This helps improve their jutsu that need to quickly eat something or to finish a meal in record time.

[Senju Kazuto]

The clone would be surprised by the quick rattling of chains in the midst of the forest, the head of the doppelganger turning to meet the shape and form of a quickly approaching chain, but rather than dodge it he would simply turn towards it, allowing itself to be pierced by the chain, the fingers quickly grasping the slick and damp links of chain before being pulled back towards the woman and alerting the Senju hiding within the very trees on where his opponent was. And with that lore in hand, Kazuto was able to plan his next move, moving through the tree in tandem as, emerging from the tree as if it were liquid and forming a hand seal prompting the clone to explode. A detonation would be heard upon the trees and it would shoot the tree as splinters would rain in all directions and the white cloud of the explosion would disperse leaving a small crater where the clone had disintegrated into a hundred and thousands of splinters alongside of the blast. Fingers would flick, forging hand signs as time became a commodity, a currency that he carefully spent for the purposes of the spar. His chakra would flare within himself and the trees deep rumble resounded again as he took quick aim and a tree emerged from the bark, petals budding in shades of coral, alabaster and silver that would soon detach from the branches and at the beckoning of his will. Fingers would be extended and with a swipe of his hand, the flow of petals moving with his hand before he would aim towards the dissipating cloud, aiming towards the general direction of where the woman would be or at the very least his idea of where she could be without seeking to bring much harm to the woman, hoping that his now refined control would come to aid him in this instance. Moving forward with the stream of of petals he would begin to flick signs for another technique in preparation.

NAME: Moku Bunshin Daibakuha [Wood Clone Great Explosion]
RANK: A
CHAKRA USAGE: High
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu
ELEMENT: Mokuton
HANDSEALS: 4
DESCRIPTION:
A technique initiated in a similar manner to the typical Moku Bunshin no Jutsu. The user will form the seals necessary for this technique. The clone itself functions as per normal until destroyed by the enemy. Once this happens the bunshin explodes outward in a fiery eruption of splinters. Alternatively the user can remote detonate the clone with at will, or the clone can even sacrifice itself by performing the same seal. If the enemy is within a close enough proximity to the clone, sever injury or even death may result. However the chakra that would usually return to the user is halved to power the explosion, meaning this jutsu is easily capable of severing one's stamina several leagues if the clones are allowed to detonate.

NAME: Mokuton: Senbonzakura [Wood Release: Thousand Cherry Blossoms]
RANK: B
CHAKRA USAGE: Medium [Continuous]
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu
ELEMENT: Mokuton
HANDSEALS: 6
DESCRIPTION:

By using the innate qualities of Mokuton to create foliage and vegetation, the user create a blooming tree of cherry blossoms, either from the very soil or from preexisting vegetation. The tree itself expires shortly after its birth, however the petals of the cherry blossoms remain, as with chakra they harden and sharpen, gaining the constitution and sharpness of a dagger.

With a command of the user, the petals detach from the branches coalescing into a single stream of thousands of steel hard petal with a radius of thirty meters. As enemies are met by a hail of daggers that can assault from multiple angles and even encircle the opponent as it threatens to shred and cut through them. Normally once the technique ends the petals wither and die, although the user can keep the petals alive so long he feeds chakra to them.

[Kuishinbou Airu]

It hit, that was amazing. Airu did not expect the spear to hit at all; the shock didn't account for the lack of blood Airu failed to see and hurried to reel Kazuto into her next attack, however that excitement turned into fear when she saw the real shinobi pull out of the tree like liquid. The woman looked back at the clone and realized her mistake. She couldn't exactly release all of the chain in time nor manually unhook it, a design flaw that she was aware of but never tried to rectify. The clone exploded somehow, probably a trap the Konoha shinobi made as Airu tried to protect her vital points from lethal damage.

Even as the chain was pulled back, even as it was sealed and the woman's guard was raised, she had no way of avoiding the oncoming shrapnel. Being forced to take it full force and losing her walking balance, falling into the explosion, luckily for the woman, the worst seemed over. But the pain was excruciating, enough so that falling onto the ground felt like a relief from the explosion. The forest seemed to shake and groan, causing the female shinobi to look up, viewing hundreds, possibly thousands of petals forming in a coral glow. The woman doubted if she could do anything to block it as she watched the stream rapidly come to her. While there was a main stream, the woman could see petals coming from all directions, she didn't have anything in her current arsenal to possibly counter the move.

Out of gut instinct, Airu would attempt to body flicker between the petals, coming onto a branch a short distance behind Kazuto, breathing heavier but if she was successful, the excitement would give her a second wind to push herself forward, dangerously so. One eye socket of the mask if it wasn't hidden yet would completely blacken, the iris not capable of glowing, besides, it didn't need to. The woman would move at frightening speeds in an attempt to kick Kazuto in his back, that is, if shewas capable of avoiding the shards. If she had not, still at the base of the tree, the woman would guard herselfin hopes that might spare her from what looked like a sure kill.

Curse of the Taberu no Hito [World Eaters] #1
Granting her access to the complete Kekkei Genkai the Kuishinbou's are renowned for, the curse, Taberu no Hito, this bloodline ability grants Airu the digestive tract of a god. She is able to consume anything and everything in her wake, having the natural durability of unfathomable proportions. All clan members can safely ingest poison with no adverse effects and Airu is no exception. Topping it off, Airu has teeth of extreme durability and bite force, with legendary regenerative properties for her teeth via active concentration.

Ready to rid her of such pain that debilitates her, transforming her into a feral and expendable asset till she can consume or time runs out and death meets her.

Clan's Hunter #2
The clan curse brings her the blessing of increased smell and taste. She can smell up to 500 meters away, with a taste so vibrant it can allow 125 meters of tasting air changes, she can detect possible changes of ingredients within a dish, the addition of something toxic, the scent of an individual present, or the taste of ash, iron, and blood, in the air. Incredibly helpful with the subtleties of the world around them. And while they find it quite easy to detect the changes in the world around them, it does not equate to being able to identify specifics that they are not familiar with. She can not identify a person or a poison by scent alone if they have never been crossed before. The scent alone can not give her any indication of what an individual is doing or where they are looking, only that their presence is nearby. Overall, it only increases senses beyond the hunter shinobi trained in detection. Airu uses these advantages to gain her position and become one of the most feared and respected Kuishinbou.

Wrath of the Fury #3
Airu's Kekkei Genkai adaptation gained a rather unique evolution. Due to the ability's new activation trigger (a forced reaction between the stomach and chakra), Airu needs to ingest an extremely prodigious amount of substances in her diet, opening an avenue rather terrifying options (corpses, living opponents, actual earthen debris, fauna, skeletons, etc), when this is accomplished, Airu can force a hyper digestive state allowing her body to catalyze an increase in both speed and strength. Only activated by a certain extent of control both of her clan's original KKG and of her own body (Injecting stomach acid with chakra), this Forced Starvation can visually be seen when her sclera turns black as death with an iris more scarlet than oxygen-rich blood. Due to the method to access this power, she renders herself rather close to actual starvation as the woman just hyper-digested every item in her stomach. As clan members typically go berserk at that edge of starvation, forcing herself reaps extra benefits at that critical state. A dangerous ability to use, the rewards from it make it an aggressive tool. Due to the stress it puts the woman under, Airu can only maintain this state for a limited amount of time (15 Posts). While under this, Airu has a great amount of control early on. Keeping an ANBU level-headedness thanks to years of practice after discovery. However, she starts losing herself to a never-ending hunger; at the halfway mark (Start of 8th post), Airu observes a more vicious, feral state of mind. This gradual decrease rapidly shifts to a more unhinged, feral state after further decay (Start of 11th post). Upon ability exhaustion, Airu loses almost all control to her hunger. It becomes the only thing she cares about and is the only thing until she keels over or eats to replenish her strength.

Immense Sea of Power #4
Since birth, fueled by her Kekkei Genkai, Airu has enormous reserves fit for the monster she is. Allowing her to continue greatly beyond what is expected in a normal battle.

CHAKRA USAGE: Low
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu [General]
ELEMENT: None
HANDSEALS: 1
DESCRIPTION:
By invigorating one's entire body with chakra, a shinobi can seemingly disappear and reappear in another location faster than most people can see. Often times one's movements are disguised with the use of an extra element, be it a smoke bomb, leaves, water, sand, etc. in order to hide the user's trajectory from those with skilled eyes. Though it mimics teleportation, it is important to remember this jutsu merely boosts the agility of its user. As useful as this technique is, it can only be used 4 times in a battle thread, compounding in exertion and difficulty each time. with any more usages beyond that result in muscle tears in the legs from overexertion. The hand seal for this technique must be held until the shinobi reaches their destination, making it impossible to utilize other techniques regardless of any preparation.
