Iwagakure Techniques (Himishi Akihiko) NAME: Kinjutsu: Shi o Shinobiyorimasu [Forbidden Technique Creeping Death: Cloth Sealing] RANK: S CHAKRA USAGE: Very High CLASSIFICATION: Fūinjutsu ELEMENT: N/A HANDSEALS: 12 Range: Initial (Only Handseals): x1/2 sensory range Incomplete (1 upkeep paid): x1 sensory range Complete (2 upkeep paid): x2 sensory range (Chains can run half of the seals respective encompassing range; meaning a 400m ranged area would afford each chain 200m of range from the initial source) REQUIREMENT: Iwagakure; IC taught DESCRIPTION: After a series of handseals the user will hold the last seal, instantly several sealing chains with begin uncoiling from the bottom of the user's wrist and blanket their entire being. Before the last seal is even completed they chains will have covered their entire being, running the length of each appendage in a single branch corresponding with their tenketsu and finally spew upon the ground. It is at this moment the user may break the seal and cause these chains to stream from their being at the speed of lightning. If done from just the body one can only choose to seal a maximum of five targets. Hundreds of chains will follow the allocated chakra sources, able to hone in on them with perfect accuracy and being unhindered by anything that is not a large chakra source (A Rank Summons or any other shinobi they may hit, will take the hit, but weapons and equipment may only block it) this means ordinary weaponry and armor not conducting chakra as to impede the chains will simply see them pass through. Obviously the less targets there are the more chains to effectively catch them and therefore they are an easier target, but the chains also move faster when only focusing a single target. Furthermore, the jutsu may be stretched from one's being as the chains sprawl out in 12 individual chains from the users feet just as quick as they had blanketed their body. Only now they reach much further, covering half of the user's sensory field in a single posting round after the user's immediate usage of the jutsu. From there they may choose to fire the jutsu in either form, allowing the distance cover to further compound the threat of the jutsu as the chains now close from all angles and may even freely form from each other or the ground itself. If they choose they may hold the jutsu for a second round however, now covering the ground in a radius equivalent to double ones sensory range before exacting the jutsu. If either 'charged' form is used on a small group their chances of survival are slim, while the final form can even threaten hundreds at once. The chains are relentless, practically unbreaking, chakra conductive S-Rank weapons/jutsu (A-Rank could technically do the same with S-Rank jutsu) paired with equal level jutsu will severe them while A-Rank jutsu would be necessary to even make them falter. Jutsu not specifically designed to protect against penetration or to split material will have no effect regardless of ranking. Doton can be used semi-effectively, but still will see the chains effortlessly phase through them without at least 10 meters of chakra enfused rock (upkept required if not S-Rank; anything below B-Rank is independently useless regardless of thickness). Barriers themselves are extremely useful as A-Rank barriers that as strengthen by further jutsu or an S-Rank will quickly see the chains unable to pierce them entirely. Once contacted the chains will pull the targets tightly against the ground where chakra cloths are conjured from the seals and rapidly seal each individual within their own, body sized, cloth bindings which are then swaddled in several real chakra conductive chains and finally sealed by the actual jutsu itself. From here one can choose to further gather and wrap each container with in a larger cloth binding which is bound the same way, essentially applying a second layer of the high ranking seal without needing another jutsu or further chakra cost (must spend a further post to do so). Should the seal be hastily utilized from just the body then the user is able to opt to seal the targets within themselves. This can only be done with a maximum of 5 targets or a single summon/Bijuu. If used against a Bijuu this seal is excellent at transporting and restraining the beast, but still must be resealed with an appropriate Bijuu seal else the Jinchuurikii will be heavily hampered in utilizing the beast's chakra reserves until then. Regardless any target when sealed directly as opposed to the more encompassing variants will have the sealing process accelerated greatly as they are 'sucked' into the users very being. In doing so any equipment, jutsu or direct attacks are negated as they are simply sucked into the seal itself and do not contact the user's body. Still as the targets are sealed within the character's body they must rapidly work to transfer any souls if they are anything other than Bijuu. This can be done by transferring them each to individual seals within the user's body as to better handle them and buy the user time until they can properly transfer them. Alternatively one may seal the beings collectively within a large scroll (require for summons/Bijuu) or in their own individual smaller scrolls. Interestingly one may also accomplish the same effect by simply sealing their whole being inside a medium, therefore also sealing any of those within him (not able to do so to transfer Summon/Bijuu). Lesser Seal (1/2 people): The Chains move at the speed of a true eight gates user, while not being unruly as the number of chains have no bearing with their intangibility one can still serve very well and further their speed and handling of the chains with chakra control SA's to the point that a single combatant would do well to fear this jutsu. Greater Seal (1-3(5 people w/Chakra Control)): While drastically slower the chains are still very much deadly and worthy of their ranking, moving at the speed of an Elite Jounin taijutsu/bukijutsu specialists. Forbidden Seal (100, S-Rank Summon, Sage Creatures or Bijuu): The Apex of the seal itself the user can use their chains to effectively seal the souls of a hundred strong individuals. While Jinchuuriki/Curse hosts may kai to release themselves anyone else must be release from the seals bonds from the outside via fūinjutsu to have hope of escape. That said, the power of the ability is not without drawbacks of its own as the jutsu will take an extreme preparatory stage even with the speed of the chains. This is the only variant of the jutsu that requires the user to uphold the jutsu for at least the incomplete form instead of allowing them to forgo this stage. Still, the trade-off is noticeable as one may devastate entire villages overnight or disappear a rear guard unit without notice from their command. Targeting upward of a hundred souls the chains now number in the thousands while retaining immense speed, now moving at the same pace as a Jounin taijutsu/bukijutsu specialist as one is require to remain relatively immobile while holding the jutsu. (All seals upon having a Chakra Control will have their speed adjusted one level as to represent their faster counterpart. Forbidden becoming as fast as the Greater Seal while in turn the Greater Seal becomes as fast as the Lesser) NAME: Hiden Raiton: Gyōshuku Bīmu[Secret Lightning Release: Condensing Beam] RANK: A CHAKRA USAGE: High CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu, Hijutsu ELEMENT: Raiton HANDSEALS: 6 REQUIREMENT: Iwagakure, Hijutsu (Must be permitted to study IC) DESCRIPTION: As an extremely destructive jutsu developed by Himishi Akihiko the jutsu was immediately deemed a hijutsu that must be permitted to be learned before one is given access to it. As such it is often employed among the various Iwagakure Corps for its ability to level structures effectively and overcome several defensive situations. Once the user completes the correct handseals they will point two extended fingers and their thumb toward their target, the instance their aim is found a violent, rippling bolt of lightning will roar forward in a straight column of pure energy. Appearing as a 2 meter wide, crackling cord the beam is able to be guided for roughly 60 full meters from the point of origin. While one may utilize this jutsu to make sharp turns any 'slack' will be expended as opposed to acting as a 60 meter tether. Upon passing any suitably conductive material the bolt will send arcs out, able to deliver a paralyzing shock to anything within a foot without direct contact and if they happen to be possessing a large amount of metal on their person (Armour, weapons, any metal equipment bar small items such as bells, scrolls, etc. This would not include average kunai/shuriken, but would certainty encompass Fuma shuriken and larger kunai variants. The corresponding arc will seek to ground itself, rushing to a point of negative energy to do so. This means the arc itself will never fully immobilize, instead rendering the immediate appendage limp & useless for a time (1 post round) and extremely labored afterward (another post round). Numb and stiff one will see themselves extremely hinder for both durations, bukijutsu and taijutsu specialist especially. If fully contacted by the afflicted area will be extremely burnt and scorched by just the extreme heat before a debilitating shock will undoubtedly drop any without reasonable resistance. It is technically possible for those with pain delay capability, the eight gates or adequate delaying techniques could see one remain standing, although it is ill-advised. Regardless, without medical ninjutsu extended combat is almost impossible. If the electric shock fails to immobilize an opponent, possibly stopping their heart even, one will still need contend with severe burns as every bit of skin accessible to the heat will be melted from their body, exposed skin will be completely charred, resulting in deep tissue damage that would make any movement excruciating as the heat reaches deep enough not only to burn muscle itself, but to boil the fat and carbonize the surface of ones flesh. If this is not enough the bolt has concussive force as well, continuing through victims, puppets and even trees normally, but exploding upon contact with the ground, a rock face or any form of fortification. Although dangerous by itself the jutsu truly shines as one fully understands the true condensing nature of the beam. Shot as an individual projectile the beam actively condenses its own chakra to retain its form, but this may be used to further combat an opponent. When utilized in conjunction with Suiton or Katon the beam will further condense and adhere the 'partner jutsu' to itself. Obviously this is already dangerous, adding a more conductive liquid medium to an already nasty Raiton jutsu or furthering the amount of heat carried by insulating the bolt with a jacket of fire itself. Normally the beam will explode in a bright radius of 6 meters where Suiton jutsu will cause this explosion to hold more electrical shock, penetrate armor without active chakra protection and spraying the area with charged beads of water that fall akin to a downpour of rain in a 20m radius that while not as damaging will bring any in contact to their knees with a constant excruciating pain as the water soaks their clothes and body. While almost impossible to dodge the droplets are unable to distinguish friend from foe, bar the user. Within the first post of contacting any charged liquid the victim will shortly feel their contacted muscles tightly contract to the point of tearing before sudden violent spasms and finally becoming paralyzed (2 post). Even if usage returns while the shock will not slow them this shock will undoubtedly have ripped important ligaments in the arms and legs to effectively hamstring an opponent. In contrast Katon will see the radius of the explosion itself double simple from the stored energy, still this does not include the effects of the original Katon which are recreated atop the already dangerous epicenter which can already shred combatants and dismember groups of shinobi if used in a confined area. Furthermore, Katon energy will see the 'pure' lightning tainted and while carrying an aura of black smoke will also explode in a shower of ash that effectively smokescreens a 60 meter diameter and keeps anyone without a means of combating it with a field of vision only capable of seeing those within feasible hand-to-hand range. While not entirely combat related this will also coat the entire area in thick black soot that coats the face, foilages and any terraine, but has little usage as it is simply ordinary soot. This is not only limited to supplement the user's jutsu though as it can easily turn an equal or lesser jutsu into a weapon against their original user or nullify them completely. It should be noted that enhanced Raiton (KKG, SA, Kiba or other S-Rank swords used in conjunction) of equal jutsu is enough to nullify the beam itself in a violent explosion if not counteracted somehow while equally strong Katon while still empowering the beam both jutsu will still continue their paths. While Katon can be useful Fuuton can render the beam non-conductive and therefore strip any supplementary enhancements as long as they are strong enough (B+ Fuuton; must actually combat the beam directly and not be a field of sorts). Lastly, one may assume earthworks or Doton effective as they will issolate the shock, but on the contrary fortification or a straight defensive structure can prove costly as the force is not lost. Designed to combat just these situations the beam has enough force to split rock with ease as a stationary target will absorb the beams full force as opposed to allowing it to continue. However, this can be even worse as the beam still condenses itself and in doing so can punch holes through solid steel walls and even completely obliterate smaller iron structures if not remove entire walls in one blast. While no match for the full Rashōmon it can punch a hole through two gates with adequate effect (impacting with enough force to damage the third), but as it explodes on contact has little chance of continuing beyond the targets just beyond said gate by itself. NAME: Shi o Shinobiyorimasu [Creeping Death: Bounded By Fate] RANK: A CHAKRA USAGE: Medium CLASSIFICATION: Fūinjutsu ELEMENT: N/A HANDSEALS: 5 REQUIREMENT: N/A DESCRIPTION: A more advanced for of the TBL this jutsu is utilized to not only tether a single combatant, but multiple combatants in an area to the user. Functioning as it's parent jutsu the only difference is that this elevated form will see much faster chains burst forth to grab anyone within a 100m radius. Moving at the speed of a Jounin Taijutsu specialist it is rather difficult to avoid, also being intangible to physical means and unaffected by most jutsu. The change will phase through any lower rank jutsu while slowly moving through earthen walls of the same level, any wall of A-Rank or higher that is 5 feet thick will slow them it is only for a time as more chains may follow the first to speed it's phasing process up. If opposed by jutsu it would take a reasonable cutting force to sever the chain and even then they will still continue to pour from their source, only slowed by any hewing. However, to do so one must either implement a chakra blade of equal rank along with some form of jutsu to slice the chain itself or a similar jutsu. Once impaled by the chain one will be marked by the same sideways diamond from the parent jutsu and tether to the user and retracted to 60m as in TBL. However, they are furthermore bound by a chain of chakra to each other that once again has little bearing on the user and can be controlled with supplementary Fūinjutsu to alter the chains or tamper with the seals. Being a higher rank the seals and tethers are stronger, but function the same as they are both independent markings and will need to be removed as such. NAME: Shi o Shinobiyorimasu: Shi ni wakareta[Creeping Death: Divided by Death] RANK: B CHAKRA USAGE: Low CLASSIFICATION: Fūinjutsu ELEMENT: N/A HANDSEALS: 1 Range: 100m pulse (Must be tether via Fūinjutsu or have matching Fūinjutsu marks of any kind applied by the user) REQUIREMENT: N/A DESCRIPTION: Requiring two or more hosts be linked via matching marks or a direct tether of Fūinjutsu this is not an easy technique to pull off. However, it can have catastrophic consequences as it pits the afflicted bodies against one another in a competition of sorts. As a single handseal is struck a 100m burst of chakra is let out activating the previously placed seals and effectively synchronizing all of their heartbeats. Only then will it steadily begin to accelerate them, within a post following the jutsu have all of the victims rendered unable to breath, in terrible pain and even convulsing. In a sense their bodies are all forming a battery, which continues to meltdown upon overcharge until power is removed. If not removed by the third post the forth will see all of the afflicted instantly dead. Still, one may cancel the seal without Fuinjutsu either by severing the tether itself or in exchange for the sacrifice of only a single afflicted life ended before the jutsu can be concluded. Not all combatants with the corresponding marking or even in the tether series must be affected it is merely a requirement to be affected, as such the user may choose to exclude as many targets as they want from this jutsu and only selectively target those who apply. While not ideal the flow of chakra being stopped in any of the combatants could theoretically 'detach' them individually from the jutsu if not the seal itself. However, this is rather difficult as it would require stifling ones own ability to utilize jutsu by some medical means or sealing of their tenketsu/person. Furthermore, it is possible to reapply the jutsu if the chakra gates are reopened ever and the aforementioned Fūinjutsu link is still present itself. NAME: Shi o Shinobiyorimasu: Jinsei de Tsunagaru[Creeping Death: Tethered in Life] RANK: C CHAKRA USAGE: Low CLASSIFICATION: Fūinjutsu ELEMENT: N/A HANDSEALS: 3 REQUIREMENT: N/A DESCRIPTION: Once the appropriate handseals are formed a sideways diamond with a line down the middle and a dot on each will be branded across the users chest, instantly shooting a black inky chain toward the target. Lightning fast the chain will phase through all objects and jutsu until impacting roughly, stagger or even toppling weaker opponents. It will follow the target up to 100 meters before retracting and forcefully pulling them within 60 meters. While little damage is done the chain will tether itself to the opponents skin, feeling like a true metal chain as a matching mark is formed at the spot in question. From here the chain will remain connected to both opponents, holding the opponent within 60 meters while also making them extremely detectable. Being Fūinjutsu the chains will only pull the opponent when their range is exceeded, almost as if granting the user great strength as to 'drag' them instead. Beyond this show of force the chain has no tangible aspect to speak of, neither being conductive or chakra reactive beyond that of other Fūinjutsu marks; one would not be able to run Katon down the chain or electrify it without Fūinjutsu themselves. By itself the mark can be useful, serving as a phantom obstacle only the opponent must contend with while also being able to be adapted further with other jutsu to adjust the chain or the mark itself may be utilized to further mold chakra into jutsu. That said both the chain and marking of the jutsu function as seperate aspect needing to be 'severed' or unsealed by two separate applications of an adequate Fūinjutsu jutsu. Being chakra the chain itself may also be removed with various implications of jutsu as long as it would be able to mechanically slice a real chain. The user may dispel the chain for any reason by forming a single handseal. NAME: Shi o Shinobiyorimasu: Chijō no Kizuna [Creeping Death: Earthly Bonds] RANK: D CHAKRA USAGE: Very Low (Very Low Continuous) CLASSIFICATION: Fūinjutsu ELEMENT: Doton HANDSEALS: N/A REQUIREMENT: N/A DESCRIPTION: By infusing doton energy into his Fūinjutsu chains Akihiko is able to give the normally intangible chains a real earthen mass as opposed to just their chakra bodies that are felt when they have ensnared a target or impact a chakra infused tool. This coupled with their already strong nature can serve to give them extremely heavy properties that do not hinder their movements while adding crushing force and additional defensive properties. While taking on the properties of hardened stone the chains are also chakra bodies themself, serving to repel even bukijutsu enhanced chakra blades as such. While the strength of the earthen exterior is adequate for deflecting cuts and blows as per the jutsu in question all chakra resistance is still derived from the jutsu this one is enhancing.
