[Hatake Toshizō]

"on the run". "A man who can't uphold his beliefs is pathetic, dead or alive." ELIMINATE EVIL IMMEDIATELY Being the last one to arrive had its advantages, and that allied with his impressive sensory ability with the Kagura Mind's Eye, his enhanced eye sight and genius intellect allowed him to make a quick and effective assessment of the situation and plan accordingly. The joint efforts of Kazuto, Keisuke, Tomomi and Satoshi forced most of the Rain forces to react in order to protect themselves, keeping them properly occupied for the elite jounin to have an opportunity to act. With a quick hand seal, Toshizou would prepare his Body Flicker Technique to move himself as close as possible to shodaime, past the fog created as it didn't impede him on locating the chakra signature of all those around him. He wanted to be decisive and have Shodaime at his mercy, so he could force the conflict into a halt, essentially taking her hostage, but as he closed in with his technique, the enormous hand of their Jinchuuriki elongated enough to come grab the defecting Hyuuga. Toshizou narrowed his eyes, his sharp combat reflexed, together with sharp eyes and keen sensory ability and masterful sworsmenship allowing him incredible reaction. The hand was around the Hyuuga, he couldn't get a stray hit on Shodaime, but he would at least attempt to stop them from seizing Shodaime and bringing her further into the enemy lines. "Midare Setsugekka!" he exclaimed as he performed a point-blank range attack that requires no prior preparation or footwork. Instead, Toshizou tensed up and utilized all of the power in his upper body, bringing both arms backward and then thrusting with the one holding the katana to pierce anything in the sword's path. The technique alone powerful enough to pierce through steel, together with the fact that he was using his personal white chakra sword Kanesada, so sharp it naturally allowed his user to already pierce through steel even without a proper technique. Bottom-line, the attack had extreme piercing power, even against the shroud of a jinchuuriki. Moreover, when activating the white chakra blade with the attack, not only would the range of the blade immediately increase by 16 centimetres, piercing deeply into the hand, and potentially even hitting Shodaime, if it landed properly. If this would force the Hyuuga to try and protect themselves, so be it, it would also mean she would help getting rid of the hand around her. There was one last - although also important - aspect of the attack: whenever the user is funneling chakra through the blade, it glows in white light, so bright it is hard to stare at, and may even blind people temporarily, if they are close enough, like the Hyuuga would be. It also made it hard to look at the blade in battle, thus making it harder to anticipate the trajectory of its attacks. This chance was probably the best one he would have at trying and take control of the situation, for the element of surprise of his arrival would be gone the instant he attacked. But he went all in, trusting his perception and reflexes to be sharp enough to react to what would come next. "You can train a dog with food. You can buy a person with money. But there isn't a man alive that can put down the Will of Fire. Some things will never change. The Will of Fire will never be extinguished" Death Enable Using element of surprise, and people reacting to his allies to close in with Body Flicker and attack through the chakra shroud hand with Flowers Seasonal Beauty [Hyūga Shodaime] [550 words]

Kanesada - Sword
OWNER: Hatake Toshizou
RANK: S
CLASSIFICATION: Offensive
RESTRICTIONS: n/a
DESCRIPTION:

Kanesada is a special blade developed by the Hatake clan, infusing it with its special chakra properties. The swords is 81 centimetres long, and the steel on it is almost purely white, even at its dormant state. The steel used to forge the blade was quite special, and those with a trained eye can easily notice that. The design, however, is rather simplistic: the saya [sheath] and the tsuba [guard] are black, while the tsuka is made of white shark-skin, covered by black cloth in a traditional pattern and a silver habaki.

ABILITIES:


White Chakra Blade
As a sword of the Hatake, Kanesada, when handled, glows with a bright white light that serves a dual purpose. Whenever the user is funneling chakra through the blade, it will glow in the white light, so bright it is hard to stare at, and may even blind people temporarily. Second, the white chakra shroud, when activated, can extend the range of the blade by 1/5.

Extreme Sharpness
Forged as a masterpiece of the Hatake clan, Kanesada is made of a special type of iron that allows it to retain remarkable sharpness, without compromising its durability. This allows the blade to cut with enormous precision and speed. This special property allows the user, if they are strong enough, to cut through stone as if it was wood, and some may even be able to cut through even stronger materials like steel.

Durability
Some will claim that Kanesada is unbreakable, but that's not true. The sword can still be broken, but it requires an enormous feat of strength. It allows it to withstand quite a lot of punishment, while being reliable to block incoming attacks, even ninjutsu.

S.A.:

Vermillion Eye


Toshi possesses extremely sharp eyesight, which helps him predict his opponent's next attack and movements by carefully observing the subtle shifts of their muscles, joints and the slight movements of their eyes. Some people compare his eyesight to that of a Hawk, and they are not wrong with the comparison. His eyes also allow him to be extremely precise with his attacks, as well as improve his ability with throwing and ranged weapons, granting him great accuracy. he is able to do these things but at the cost of not being as effective in either one as someone with a more focused special ability.

Swift as Wind


Toshi is an extremely fast Shinobi in combat (not normal movement speed). Ever since he was a child, he had displayed incredible reflexes and agility, which allows him to dominate the battlefield. His reflexes allow him to escape most harm coming his way, or at the very least be able to react fast enough to counter an incoming attack, preventing himself from being injured by most attacks, while at the same time putting his opponents in a pinch with his counterattack.

Chakra Control


Having only an average chakra pool, Toshi had to develop a refined control of his chakra to avoid being drained too fast in battle. By learning to optimise the usage of his chakra, thus preventing any unnecessary waste, the Hatake managed to conserve his chakra by using only the minimum amount required. This allows him to compete with those blessed with large chakra pools, who can give themselves the luxury of wasting chakra. With the years, he became a true professional when it comes to Chakra Control.

One with the Blade


As a primary specialist on Bukijutsu, Toshi focuses primarly on his Kenjutsu skill, honed throughout his entire life during his Tennen Rishin-ryu training. As such, his sword became a natural extension of his body, and together they act as one. Due to that, he knows how to force a breach on his opponents defence, and is quite knowledgeable of where to strike to make the most of every attack from his blade. That being said, very few people can best him in a sword fight.

Genius IQ


Since he was a child, Toshi was way beyond the curve when it came to his intellect. He aced all of his exams during his time in the academy, which allowed him to graduate at the tender age of 9. He was often the youngest member of his team growing up, and they all came to respect him as an equal when given the opportunity to stand beside him on the battlefield. His memory is excellent and he can recall events and information with rich details, and his mind works at an incredible speed, able to do calculations even during the stress of combat. He is very analytical and a natural strategist, who is quite comfortable thinking outside of the box to find solutions to otherwise helpless situations. His keen mind also allows him to be a few steps ahead of his opponents and adapt to changes in his environment and oveall situation in a second. Toshi always has a Plan B and C under his sleeve, even though he usually does not have to resort to that.

Kagura Mind's Eye


Born with a natural affinity towards sensing chakra, Toshi trained himself to become a capable sensor ninja. With his training, he managed to unlock his Mind's Eye, and with that, the ability to passively sense chakra signatures in the distance (when using the technique), thus allowing him to not only track, but also memorize a person's chakra signature, even if barely any chakra is being used. Due to his proficiency with this technique, Toshi can passively sense chakra up to 400 metres, but when he focus on opening his Mind's Eye, his sensing capabilities increase to incredible 25 km.

Jutsu used:
NAME: Shunshin no Jutsu [Body Flicker Technique] 1/4
RANK: D
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.

NAME: Midare Setsugekka [Flowers Seasonal Beauty]
RANK: A
CHAKRA USAGE: High
CLASSIFICATION: Bukijutsu
REQUIREMENT: White Chakra Blade
DESCRIPTION:
A point-blank range attack that requires no prior preparation or footwork. Instead, the user tenses and utilizes all of the power in his upper body, bringing both arms backward and then thrusting with the one holding the katana to pierce anything in the sword's path. This attack is further enhanced by the high usage of chakra, making it capable of piercing through wood, stone, and even steel.

[Yamato]

Like Haruko, Shintori had been utilizing blades, his katanas, to hack and slash at the branches attempting to close in on Shodaime. Similarly, he was able to relatively easily deal with Kazuto's clone, a flicker of steel flashing as he dispatched it before his attention returned to his primary orders of clearing a path for Shodaime.

The JITE operative noted that Haruko was struggling a bit with some sort of puppet and quickly moved over to assist, lending an additional attack against Kuuhaku as Haruko pushed it away. With Shodaime in a precarious situation, Shintori considered sheathing his katanas for a moment to utilize some genjutsu only to hear Haruko explaining that the flash had somehow resulted in their usage of chakra being sealed. At that same moment, a large chakra claw reached out to snatch at Shodaime, to which Shintori followed up with by sheathing both of his katana and throwing one smoke bomb at his and Haruko's feet.

He took a large leap back away from the fight and smoke clouds, just barely noticing as a blur came from practically nowhere to strike at Amegakure's jinchuuriki. With the amount of puppets that Tsuki was now introducing to the battlefield, he felt secure enough to attempt to use a genjutsu against Toshizo. It likely wouldn't affect the Hatake before he struck Squeakers. Shintori threw a bell attached to a senbon as close as he could to Toshizo's ear, concentrating on forcing his chakra into his targets nervous system to enact his genjutsu.

NAME: Naru Kane: Kurushimi [Ringing Bells: Suffering]
RANK: B
CHAKRA USAGE: To Use: Medium | To Maintain: Low
CLASSIFICATION: Genjutsu
ELEMENT: -
HANDSEALS: 0
TRIGGER: Auditory
DESCRIPTION:
This technique is designed to distract and harm an opponent with a fake barrage of weapons. Upon hearing the ringing bell, the victim will see and hear bells all around them. These bells will begin to pelt the victim, making them feel as if the senbon the bells are commonly attached to are piercing through them.

[Hyūga Shodaime]

It seemed her last explosive tag was able to do some minor damage towards Shodaime's pursuers. As quickly as she continued towards Amegakure, Shodaime was suddenly picked up by a large Chakra claw. A moment of panic and confusion began to set in as she thought she was captured by the Konoha nin pursuing her. It was until she looked towards where the claw had come from did she realize that it was a Ame nin that had a hold on her. A smile would form on her face as she knew that she was probably in good hands, or claws in this case.

"Thanks for the save." Shodaime would yell over to the person who held her with the chakra claw. Though, as quickly as she said those words a sudden white flash stabbed directly into the arm holding on to her. That white flash turned out to be a white chakra blade, which had stabbed through the Jinchuuriki's Chakra claw into Shodaime's own arm. A sharp pain suddenly filled Shodaime as blood began to flow out of the stab wound. She knew they needed to get out of here and then maybe she would be able to heal her arm.

"We need to get out of here now." Shodaime would say to the Ame Jinchuuriki. " We need to act fast." She knew time was the of the essence and that if she were able to get over to the border, then the Konoha nin wouldn't be able to follow.

[Yoritomo]

Was asked to do some battle moderation as all the other staff are involved in the thread pretty much.


Shintori NPC

Auto-hit and auto-killed wood clones. Kazuto may try to counter their deaths through the clones actions. If clones successfully defend/evade the attack the genjutsu segment will be lost as they still threaten Shintori NPC. A quote from the wood clones both for Yamato and Harukei's benefit to keep in mind "If the user is fighting or pre-occupied the fighting power will be diminished. The user must be still for the clone to fight at its fullest. (The clones ability wise are as strong as Shadow Clones, however they are more durable.)" So Kazuto very much is pre-occupied meaning the clones combat potential is diminished, however it is not so diminished as to equate to an instant kill.

Additionally if Shintori plans to proceed with the smokebomb and jump regardless of what the outcome with the clones is, I would say the smokebomb will be enough to disturb the shadows so the the firefly technique doesn't block his chakra, but the reckless jump away that would have to go through the fireflies currently swarming about will mean taking burns to escape the encirclement for the moment. Given the short distance he's moving too, the fireflies would be right on his heels with the target tracking quality.

---

Junpei NPC

The fog would indeed protect Junpei by obscuring his shadow, but since he specifically was leaving allies out of the fog cloud, they will not receive such benefit.

---

Tsuki

Due to the long range of the puppeting abilities, Tsuki very much was away from the fighting and the initial creation range of the fireflies technique. Upon reading of the various jutsu in play the range of the fireflies swarming technique is eyesight or what can be sensed, meaning they can leave the original 100m radius at that point. Will rule that the fireflies allotted for Tsuki (given that they lack a clear speed) have been making their way towards her and would arrive at Satoshi's next post and that is when Tsuki would do the noted action of using mobility gear to maneuver away. That being said the fireflies will continue to follow albeit at a slower speed than Tsuki can move between base speed and maneuvering gear. Still they will be an ongoing threat and keep forcing Tsuki to relocate unless dealt with.

---

Sanosuke

Body flickered away to temporarily escape the fireflies. Given the range a body flicker can take one and the speed at which the fireflies would be traveling he's safe to do the actions listed. However at Satoshi's next post the fireflies will be moving his direction once more via the target tracking quality to threaten again as well as potentially giving away his position due to their presence. However, the body flicker (if I'm understanding the layout of everything right) would put him into the mist created by Junpei NPC. Meaning the shadows will be obscured for the moment and give safety from the suppressing shadows technique.

---

Aikawa

Speed would keep him away from the fireflies chasing for the moment, but as he stops to summon the large claw to pull Shodaime down the tree to safety they would catch up. If it was just two or three fireflies I would say that it'd be too much chakra to block via the Suppressing Shadow technique. Given that it's three waves worth of fireflies he's ignoring though, it will be enough to suppress/disrupt the chakra as the claw is in the process of pulling Shodaime down to safety. However, disrupting that much chakra on top of other target's chakra is going to be taking a large toll on Satoshi's own chakra supply. Continue to try and disrupt everyone's chakra and Satoshi will be burning through his reserves very fast.

---

Shodaime

Given that the claw would have disappeared as you were being pulled down to the base of the tree (confirmed intention with Mika) and the claw would be suppressed for the moment halfway down, Sho would take the blade full force (still in the arm though) rather than some of the force being absorbed by the claw. Sho is competent enough to land such a short fall on their feet though. That being said you didn't move too far and the fireflies would be following down after you. Given that there's no smoke at this point (since the smoke avoided allies) the fireflies have a clear line to your shadow (now that you've moved to Aikawa and away from the perpetual flashbang of a sword that'd now be making a shadow under you since it's above) so chakra is disrupted currently until the fireflies are dealt with, escaped or your shadow disrupted.

---

Satoshi

Just to stress that Satoshi as a chuunin is currently using a lot of chakra to use suppressing shadow on a half dozen targets at once with one of them being a bijuu. If you continue trying to suppress all this chakra while still threatening with the fireflies on top of that it will be through your reserves extremely fast.

---

Toshizo

Currently is on the tree above Aikawa and Shodaime. Due to the sharpness SA of the sword it would be more likely to cut through the flesh than get caught and pull Toshizo along. If he tries to jump down after the targets however it will mean moving through the fireflies which would mean suffering burns to go through the swarm around the two of them.

[Yamanaka Tomomi]

YAMANAKA TOMOMI

NINGYO/HIDARI

Mass battles like this always got so chaotic. Satoshi was doing good work for now keeping the enemy unable to perform jutsu, but he would exhaust himself and completely burn out at this rate. The team needed to take advantage of this situation while they still had the time. That time might be limited, however.

A large wave of puppets was delivered from the sky, covering the field in more potential threats than anyone could reliably deal with. A puppeteer with this kind of skill was uncommon and Tomomi had only ever known of, and faced, one. Red Moon. This could get even messier than Tomomi first thought. With the combination of the jinchuuriki and that puppeteer here, the group would need to seriously consider a retreat strategy if they couldn't end this swiftly.

Despite her own ego, she was reasonable enough to know when she was outclassed on one front. Puppetry wouldn't win her any rewards here and leaning into her hijutsu would be wise. Though with all the danger around, a proper switch would be far too risky.

Tomomi drew Kuuhaku back, trying to get it to avoid the strike and make distance from the fireflies, which could be a danger to it regardless. That would bring the scythe with it, at least allowing it to keep that one opponent disarmed. She would release her strings from Kuuhaku and let it drop to the ground.

While everyone was overwhelmed, it was time for a strong play. She held her hands up to forge the hand seals for one of her clan's strongest techniques. With a pulse of chakra, she would attempt to take command of Shintori, Haruko, and Shodaime herself. The jinchuuriki seemed like too dangerous an option, so she would focus her attentions on a smaller group of targets than she would usually aim for in the hopes of increasing success.

If the attempt succeeded, she would immediately turn the two shinobi and Shodaime's own kunai into holding Shodaime hostage, blade pressed to throat.

"I think we should sincerely consider having a serious conversation about this before anyone is injured further," Tomomi would puppet Shintori to speak.

This is simply a large-scale version of the Mind Body Disturbance Technique, where the sheer volume of people affected in a given area is much greater. Like its parent technique, it causes the user to gain complete control of the target's body, often forcing allies to attack each other.

Puppet Summoned: Kuuhaku

[Senju Kazuto]

The clones had been meant to find their doom. The facsimiles knew it as the prime directive from their creator. And they cared not whether they lived or died for theirs was a life measured in the minutes. As the one that faced Jumpei approached, wind chakra coursing though him already, speeding slightly at his target, hands came together as they saw the movement as hand pulled back, muscles coiled to flick a weapon towards him. Experience and knowledge came back from the learned heritage from its creator a single seal was formed, chakra coursed through its body as a surge of energy found it and as the kunai flew towards him a poof of white smoke would be where he was, an explosion behind it dispersing the puff as the clone materialized, close to Junpei, seeking to take his momentum in stride, kunai in one hand aiming to stab, remaining hand forming a seal as chakra began to molded within the construct one final time. The second clone, that who fought the man wearing the midnight scythe. His charge carried on the weapon making an arc before danger swop from above and one of Tomomi's puppets emerged, stopping the scythe in its track and forcing the man unto a defensive stance, forcing him to weave signs at an astounding speed, a sheen covering his body now as the clone carried on with the assault, seeking to use all the force and momentum it had accrued as hands were formed into fists and both limbs pushed forward, knuckles feeling as they would strike against a hard surface with enough strength to destroy one of the legendary trees in the forest of death, seeking to the very least take his attention and if not, opening its allies to attack. The final clone would see the man before him disappear as the attack continued and it knew it life was to be measured in seconds now. Hand seals were strung in those ephemeral seconds, finished as the creation could feel the sting of a blade against its back. For what seemed to be an instant, energy like the sun seemed to irradiate from the creation before a blinding flash would emerge from the clone and engulf its attacker in energy and a hailstorm of wood splinters. A boom echoed in the distance and as Kazuto continued he felt the chakra from of the clones return back to him and with it the experience of its violent death, the fade touch of steel against flesh. He saw the shape of a claw tearing trees and the flash of a sword finding the flesh of Shodaime. He pressed on, closing the distance, the forest moving with him as to protect and attack on his behalf, as Shodaime had to deal with the blade of Toshizo. The Senju felt his chakra pulsate through the soil, roots grew strong with life as from beneath her, a fang of white and lavender emerged, its thousands of teeth sharp like daggers, rotating dangerously as they would sprout beneath her seeking to tear and grind and reduce flesh, bone and sinew into nothing else but arterial mist.

NAME: Mokuton Hijutsu: Jukai Kōtan [ Wood Release Secret Technique: Nativity of a World of Trees ]
RANK: A
CHAKRA USAGE: Medium
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu
ELEMENT: Mokuton
DESCRIPTION:
A KG technique where the user forces trees to grow on any surface, easily creating a dense forest anywhere they choose. A small plant can grow into a forest in an instant. By generating chakra, the user manoeuvres it as they see fit for attack and defense; and furthermore, this omnipotent technique even allows them to capture the enemy at the same time. With their tremendous life force, the trees can pierce through earthen walls, and extend their branches at their prey in an instant.


NAME: Mokuton: Senka [Wood Release: Flash Blossom]
RANK: A
CHAKRA USAGE: High
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu
ELEMENT: Mokuton
HANDSEALS: 10
DESCRIPTION:

Using the life giving qualities of Mokuton the user forces their chakra on the roots below the ground to create thousands of cherry blossom petals. The petals violently emerge from the ground forming a conical perimeter of eighty-five centimeters around the user. The petals spin rapidly, their steel sharpness buffeting away conventional weaponry as well as shredding any for that comes into contact with the spinning maw of blossoms.

This technique can be used offensively, as the cone can emerge at a range up to fifteen meters away from the user at an incoming foe, attacking them from below as their lower body is grind by the spinning force of the petals.

The user doesn't seem to be levitating unless under close inspection which they seem to be about 1.5 - 2cm off the ground. Apart from enhancing speed, this technique gives the user the ability to walk on water and evade projectile attacks with ease.

NAME: Keimou Funsai Ouda [Enlightened Demolishing Strike]
RANK: A
CHAKRA USAGE: High
CLASSIFICATION: Taijutsu
ELEMENT: None
DESCRIPTION:
The user forms two fists and steps forward towards their opponent. By gathering all of their strength into their arms, they launch their fists forward with all their might, momentum and weight. The force of the blow is said to be able to rip a tree from the forest of death straight from the ground and into several other trees. The power of the technique is released all at once upon impact which creates a blow devastating enough to put a person into shock almost immediately while rupturing their internal organs if they were to suffer a direct hit, resulting in an almost fatal or completely fatal blow.

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.

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.


Crimson Fist


Gifted with a considerable physical presence, the Senju has taken his gifts and combined them with effort, dedication and patience. Thanks to this he has emerged as an Adept of Taijutsu, as such while he cannot claim his abilities don't quite rival those who can claim to be true masters of the art, he can confidently fight other taijutsu users. Making use of the Ascendant Fist style as the foundation of his prowess with taijutsu, he has become able strike his foes with great strength and precision in close quarters with great expertise.


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.

[Yoritomo]

Battle moderation requested in response to the senbon attack on the five shadow clones.

The three clones above would take the senbon hit and disperse. Between the rain, the attacker's camoflauge as well as the mist they'd have made the attack from, it's highly unlikely the clones would notice the attack. Taking a senbon would be enough to cause a shadow clone to disperse.

However, when those clones disperse the knowledge of their destruction would (as per the shadow clone technique description) pass along the information to both the original user and the remaining two clones. Given the SA's related to the skilled use of clones, hand sign speed and intelligence it would be a fair assumption to think the clones would be prepared for such an attack and could take evasive actions long enough to finish the handseals with the handseal speed SA. If further attacks come in they may be destroyed, but I believe they'd last long enough to get their jutsu off at the very least.


Edit: a follow up question was asked in regards to NPC Junpei's explosive tags targeting the clones of Keisuke. Given the heavily forested terrain and that having a look at the timeline of actions being taken as best I can, it is likely the blast would have destroyed the two clones. While they might have begun to dodge the kunai the explosion and the shrapnel of wood splinters of the surrounding trees is likely to have hit the relatively easy to disperse shadow clones with something hard enough to pop them.



Edit 2: Something was pointed out to me which made me realize I made an issue with the timeline. Given that I had earlier decided the senbon attack against the three clones happened after the smoke had been used to give concealment in the area. It would mean the clones very much were up near Sho rather than being destroyed on their way to the target. That being said I still believe it is likely the attack would destroy the three clones given the speed difference between the attacker and clones, the concealment the attacker has and the fact that the clones attention is on Sho.

I will however reword my previous ruling on the explosive tags by saying the danger of the shrapnel and explosive is imminent, but they will have an opportunity to dodge given that NPC Junpei is not as concealed and already used one explosive against Kazuto's clones which warns of the danger nearby to Keisuke's clones.


Edit 3: So I did fail to recognize the hanseal SA. Given that Junpei targeted Kazuto's clone first that would mean there's very little time between Junpei throwing the second wrapped kunai and the two techniques going for Junpei. I am reading it as if the second explosive note/kunai was meant to destroy the clones so as the halt the techniques, but while it's not entirely obvious the clones are moving (although it's worded a bit poorly and took me a couple times reading to see it) So this is what will happen. The second explosive tag gets thrown. The wild lion's mane can either intercept the tag (which buys Junpei a moment to get the dark mist off, but fully protects the clone) or it can ignore the tag and get a hit in with the wild lion's mane jaw (since Junpei did not other evasive action and was focused on getting the technique off), but after the initial bite of the wild lion's mane tech the clone using it would be destroyed, thus ending the technique after the bite. The running lightning beast was specifically stated as running erratic patterns and being held to intercept Junpei if he tried to move away from the wild lion's mane which he has not done. It can be redirect in Keisuke's next post however if he wishes. While the dark mist would be covering him, Keisuke still knows where he was roughly in the mist and can try to push the attack from there.




Complete Side note: Try to dial down how much ya'll are trying to squeeze into each post. When everyone is trying to do like three or four different things a post it gets hard to try and figure out what's happening when. At the very least if you're going to rattle off that many things, give me an idea of they would do x only if y happens, if y fails then they'd do z or something. Cause trying to moderate this battle is making my head spin. XD

[Uzumaki Keisuke]

DON'T YOU WANNA BE A

SUPERHERO

Keisuke's mind had been flooded with information all of a sudden as the three clones that had been surrounding Shodmime the fellow foreign ninja that had been with her dispersed all of a sudden. Keisuke knew that there was an attacker hiding out of sight by some means as the attack had come from nowhere and Keisuke's clone didn't even see the attack coming as it had been triggered by a senbon. Keisuke assumed the attacker was using some sort of invisibility or hiding technique as it was the only reasoning that could come to the real Keisuke's mind at the moment, as his two remaining clones were able to dodge the incoming senbon in time as the information had passed onto them about the destruction of the other three clones and what had happened to them so making adjustments in the movements of Keisuke's two remaining clones would have been possible. As they controlled there jutsu they had just released they had to make further adjustments as Junpei had just finished dealing with a wooden clone from Kazuto. An explosive tag would be thrown towards Keisuke's clones so using the classic bait and switch pattern the clones using the wild lions mane jutsu would push forward with his attack on Junpei. Keisuke's other clone would take evasive action only aided as it was already moving. As the explosive tag detonated Keisuke's clone would be able to take a a shot with his lions mane technique jaw as he managed to get a good clamp on Junpei''s body with the Jaw before the explosive tag would take out the lions mane technique along with Keisuke's clone. The damage from the lion's mane jutsu would be quite sufficient and shouldn't be ignored. As with Keisuke's other destroyed clones the same information had been passed to him and his single remaining clone as he was about the move the entire area had been covered in a dark mist as the rain continued to pour down, lucky for Keisuke as his destroyed clone had just landed a hit on Junpei he fiqured he roughly knew his last know position and would likely be not in the greated shape from the damage from the lions mane jutsu so his movement should be restricted so moving back into the fold Keisuke quickly adjusted the evasive movements of his lightning beast jutsu and aimed it towards where Junpei had been when he had been struck with the lions mane hoping to finish him off with the lightning beast. More than likely been enough to finish Junpei off.

Keisuke himself was thinking a few things at the moment as if wondered if this was all worth it for one person, plus they were fighting the unknown here with all the factors in play. The enemy had a jinchūriki on the field as well as other unknowns not known to Keisuke as of yet so. With that protecting his allies was the most important step he could take right this moment. Each of them needed some help. Keisuke would disperse the single clone he had remaining. Keisuke would form the fast handsigns needed. Then preform several more hand signs as he prepared special clones that had been mixed in with the seventy clones he had sent forward. This clones would explode if destroyed.

"Tajū Kage Bunshin no Jutsu"

Keisuke spoke the words of his technique as he formed 120 shadow clones each one were identical to Keisuke in everyway. He didn't waste time in sending them off in various directions first he would send ten clones each to his allies, ten clones would surround Keisuke as he took up position within them as well as his still present summon. Telling Keisuke apart from the clones was next to impossible even with doujutsu and even sensory. Keisuke would then send forward the remaining seventy clones forward towards Shodaime's area. The five explosive clones would be mixed in with the seventy he had sent forward. Alone the way his clones would likely be confronted with the mist that covered the area in front of them but would easy push through with the sheer number of clones that Keisuke had created. Meanwhile if clones were gonna be destroyed Keisuke was ready to send ready make replacements to fill the void and was ready to form that at will as and when needed. Keisuke was a master of shadow clones. The clones mixed with explosive chakra had been mixed in the the clones he had sent forward towards Shodaime.

The group of clones with Keisuke took up a defensive position as Keisuke knew there was an unknown attacker still hiding someplace from before when his three clones were hit with senbon so now they were expecting an attack so they were ready for hidden attacks as before scouting the area around them with there eyes. They had effectively surround Keisuke in a circle with the real Keisuke and his summon still present by his side. Though telling the difference who the real Keisuke was impossible even with doujutsu.

[As stated in Yori's post above I pushed forward with my clone to take on the damage of the explosive tag from Junpei but as a trade off I would manage to get a hit in with the lion manes jaw which would be like getting bit with an iron razor sharp jaw the surface area is also likely to be large. I would think that Junpei is unlikely able to do much more now. If not dead already the lightning beast is likely to finish him off as I stated his movements if still alive is likely to be highly limited if not bleeding out.]

Hero’s "Energy"

The hero’s energy refers to Keisuke’s chakra levels. Keisuke has a very impressive chakra reserve so much so that he is capable of using many different types of attacks without really showing signs of getting tired. While it might not seem that Keisuke would be that impressive from looking at the man, his chakra levels are beyond another level compared to others. His chakra levels easily make the man one of the highest in his village. His attacks come in the form of his elemental chakra based attacks in which he can perform many of them in quick succession if he requires to do so with his impressive reserves. The same can be said with his use of shadow clones he is able to use his impressive reserves to form shadow clones quickly and in great numbers when he needs to. Being of the Uzumaki clan also makes Keisuke's reserves even that more impressive much more than he realises, could be considered one in a million if there was a phrase to describe his chakra reserves.

Hero’s "Trickery"

The hero’s trickery refers to Keisuke’s usage of shadow clones. The man considers himself a specialist with them and uses shadow clones with ease like it is second nature to him. Keisuke is capable of using up to five clones with the standard Kage Bunshin no Jutsu [Shadow Clone Technique], they can perform anything the real Keisuke knows and he can form the clones very quickly. If one is destroyed he can quickly replace the clone with another if he needs to. Since information is passed on to the real Keisuke upon its defeat it’s a great battle tactic for Keisuke using clones to find a weak spot in the enemy defence or a blindside or to hide the real Keisuke. Keisuke’s true skill with shadow clones comes in the form of Tajū Kage Bunshin no Jutsu[Multiple Shadow Clone Technique] where Keisuke is so skilled with the jutsu he is capable of using hundreds of clones with ease at any one time if one is destroyed without wasting much time he can replace the lost clone. While many would normally be tired of using this jutsu just once, Keisuke is able to use it more than once and form many clones with it and maintain them for great lengths of time as required. Like the regular shadow clone jutsu, Keisuke’s usage with Tajū Kage Bunshin no Jutsu[Multiple Shadow Clone Technique] allows him to attack at different angles and find weaknesses in the enemy from the information he gains from a destroyed clone. He can even hide his real self in the mass of clones in order to strike when the enemy least expects it or from a blindside while his clones distract the enemy.

Hero’s "Intelligence”

Keisuke is what you consider a genius, his mind is always thinking one step ahead at all times. His brain is able to process information that most couldn’t even dream of doing. He uses this a lot in combat with the use of his shadow clones. Like when one has been destroyed any information they had before being defeated is passed onto Keisuke, with his genius intellect he is able to process the information in real-time and near-instantly for full effect. He can then pass the information onto his teammates or use it himself for full effect. The same can be done when he is using his clones on a mass level, the information that his brain can process is considered to be once in a generation like talent. He can also use his intelligence to think of battle strategies on a whim and in almost any situation.

Hero’s "Presence”

This Hero’s presence is an ability that stems right from Keisuke’s own chakra and with how the man is around others. The man believes that he is a real hero, even though a lot of that is self-proclaimed. His belief that he is a real hero has created something truly special for Keisuke. He has developed a special aura, that stems from his hero "energy” [chakra levels]. This aura can be seen by others, though it can only really be seen clearly when he is in the thrill of battle believing he is a true hero. Out of battle his aura is faint but is sometimes present if he speaks of his hero-like desires. Those who witness his aura ‘might’ believe in him for just a second, whilst they will often deny they believed anything. The doubt is in there minds. In the presence of friends and allies, his aura will truly be seen. His aura to friends and allies will give them a slight boost in confidence and will give them the belief they can win even if they are against it. As a Uzumaki Keisuke's will is yet strengthened by his will and determination even more he will keep going until until he drops dead if he has to.

Hero’s "Hands”

Keisuke has developed a unique trait to him that allows him to perform hand-signs at blazing speeds. This has helped with his genius like intellect that has helped Keisuke with memorizing his ninjutsu hand-signs and can in real-time make the same signs with speed right from his brain. This can be said when using his shadow clones, like the real Keisuke they can perform blazing fast hand signs. This is all possible because he can process information in real-time and without his need to ‘think’.

Hero’s "Body”

Keisuke doesn’t have super speed like others around him but what Keisuke does have is a well-trained body. He is able to withstand attacks most others can’t. He can survive some deep cuts and lacerations without affecting him. Keisuke will still have the focus and will to push on even with serious injuries. Not that the knows all that well but being of the Uzumaki clan it enables the man to heal wounds much quicker naturally without medical treatment like broken bones and deeps cuts. He can't heal anything too serious like missing limbs or damaged organs without medical treatment but, being an Uzumaki make his chances of survival from such wounds more likely thanks due to there fabled endurance.

(Information has come to my attention and an edit is coming)



Yet again have I been summoned for a battle moderation. This one is in regards to Keisuke's chakra usage.

Alright, so quick math on this. You had five clones, four were destroyed. Chakra unused goes back to you and the surviving clone. Even if we discount the chakra of the wild lion's mane and lightning beast running, that'd mean you're at 1/2. You create five explosive clones. That puts you and the explosive clones at 1/12th. Cause half of a whole divide by six is 1/12th. You then want to split that even further by making another 120 clones. That would take you from 1/12th to 1/1,452nds



Edit 2: I've spoken with Keisuke about their options. They've edited their post accordingly and are aware that after their current chakra split between the clones, that the standard clones and Keisuke their self are severely limited in what techniques they can use due to low chakra.


The explosive clones each currently have (roughly) a sixth of Keisuke's max chakra (1/2 of each 1/6th will be lost should they detonate as per the technique) and the standard clones have far less. The creation of so many clones is only possible due to Keisuke's SA and the fact that he is fine with each being very limited in what they can do chakra wise.

[Nara Satoshi]

This is so troublesome But I guess I’ll do it.

Gritting his teeth Satoshi shifted uneasily as he held on the technique. With how it was already burning through his reserves he knew he couldn’t afford to hold it for too long but for now he would endure. Knowing the jinchūriki, Shodaime and one of the Ame shinobi were clearly having their chakra suppressed Satoshi tried to shift some of the fireflies to open a bit of a path to the Hatake without compromising the density around them. With that done he focused some of his attention on his other targets.

Wisps of fire continued to follow the shinobi that had thrown a smoke bomb and tried to out speed the attack. Some of them would still be trying to settle behind his back if given the chance and also try to entrap him in Kage no Yukuse.

The other target that was also somewhat easier to make the fireflies pursue was the one hiding behind a tree. Acting both as a beacon of the location of Sanosuke they would still continue in their attempts capture him by settling as near as possible or on top of his shadow in order to narrow down his chances of evasion and be ensnared by the jutsu.

The one hiding in the black fog was at most a lost cause in trying to restrain currently but that didn’t meant Satoshi couldn’t offer support to his allies in other ways. Commanding the wisps of fire, they would move towards the hidden Ame shinobi’s location and hove around him while a few of them would form strings leading out of the fog in order to more clearly mark his location.

Sweat traveled down the Nara’s brow as his conciseness was split among numerous tasks and maintaining the jutsu but unfortunately there was one more target he had to worry about.

The puppeteer, that had been further away, was still an issue and while the fireflies had managed to reach them finally, they had somehow still not been captured considering the signature was moving erratically. For now, Satoshi wiled the wisp of fire to follow as best they could and try to remain a nuisance while hoping for the chance to actually get close enough and entrap Tsuki.

Letting his voice carry Satoshi turned towards Tomomi and whichever of the Konoha shinobi was close enough to hear. "If someone could knock out the jinchūriki that be great. I’d be able to move more freely. I think I have coupled more things left to offer before I begin to drag down things.”

Despite the lazy draw to his words and his seemingly relaxed face there was undercurrent of strain to his actions. In the meantime, Satoshi’s eyes kept darting and observing the battlefield while sensing filled in the blanks, he couldn’t get from his normal five senses.

NAME: Hotaru no atsumari [Firefly Gathering]
RANK: C
CHAKRA USAGE: Medium
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu
ELEMENT: Katon
HANDSEALS: 3
REQUIREMENTS: Katon: Shikai
DESCRIPTION:

Developed from Katon: Shikai after doing the handseals the user channels chakra to create numerous floating wisps of burning ash in a diameter of one hundred meters. The size of the wisp is about the size of a golf ball and after being created they don’t do anything more than just float in the position they have appeared in. Since they are made of burning ash touching them could cause minor burn though the special thing about them is that after doing another hand seals the user could ignite them and make them burn hotter allowing them to cause up to second agree burns.

NAME: Hotaru no mure [Firefly Swarm]
RANK: C
CHAKRA USAGE: Low
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu
ELEMENT: Katon
HANDSEALS: 1
REQUIREMENTS: Hotaru no atsumari [Firefly Gathering] or Hotaru no seichou [Firefly Growth]
DESCRIPTION:

A simple jutsu that when activated as long as the user has the target within eyesight or is able to sense their chakra signature makes the wisps of ash from Firefly Gathering or Firefly Growth home in on the target and float around them.


NAME: Hotaru Hokaku [Firefly Capture]
RANK: C
CHAKRA USAGE: Medium
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu
ELEMENT: Katon
HANDSEALS: 2
REQUIREMENTS: Hotaru no atsumari[Firefly Gathering] or Hotaru no seichou[Firefly Growth]
DESCRIPTION:

The jutsu allows the user to use the Shadow Imitation Technique through the wisps of fire created by either Firefly Gathering or Firefly Growth. The shadow each wisp casts turns darker and more full before it lengthens in order to connect with that of the target. Each wisp’s shadow can only lengthen for about 1 meter each but they can connect with the shadows of other wisps until reaching the target.


NAME: Kage no Yukusei [Suppressing Shadow]
RANK: B
CHAKRA USAGE: Medium
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu
ELEMENT: None
HANDSEALS: 5
REQUIREMENTS: Kagemane no Jutsu [Shadow Imitation Technique]
DESCRIPTION:

The users shadows lengthen and connects with that of the targets much like the Shadow Imitation Technique but when it does instead of forcing the target to imitate the movements of the user their chakra is suppressed making them unable to cast any jutsu. The effects remains as long as the jutsu is active and the shadows are connected. Since it’s a variation of the Shadow Imitation Technique the Suppressing Shadow shares the same range of 30 yards and can be used instead of it in all other jutsu that require it.

Kagura Shingan [Kagura Mind's Eye]
After exploring his innate sensory abilities and thanks to his perfect chakra control Satoshi was able to unlock the Kagura Shingan. This ability allows him to find, sense, and track individuals through their chakra over vast range that exceeds ten kilometers. His able to achieve this effect by focusing and opening his mind's eye, though due to the low chakra cost Satoshi is able to keep it active passively at all times (Range is 15km) and increase the range even more with the use of the jutsu(25km). The ability also extends to telling when a person is lying from the fluctuations in a person's chakra made from dishonest emotions or detecting if someone, including him, is under a genjutsu. Also by focusing on a particular chakra, Satoshi can perceive its location and movement with great detail allowing him to track the movements of even those that are faster than him.

OWL

[TAKEDA SANOSUKE™]

With so much going on it left Sanosuke with little room to abuse his undetected presence in the rainfall, and while he wasn't so much stressed about anyone finding him at some point he'd have to make his presence known in some form to the people in the surrounding area. Some of the things he had working in his favor at this point was that the rainfall remained heavy which meant his transparency also remained in tact. With that in mind the likelihood there was even a shadow to take him by surprise was out of the question as there wouldn't be a figure visible to even create a shadow.

Of course that didn't mean the fireflies wouldn't continue doing what it had already been doing, but as of now Sanosuke wouldn't be quite sure as to why they managed to maintain their distance to him despite their lack of visibility on him. Also, it was strange they managed to keep themselves heated in the midst of the amount of water falling in the surrounding area. Nevertheless, Sanosuke would take a glance from his near 360 vision to see the chaos unfolding with the rest of his comrades.

There was no doubt his personnel would be upset about this, but they were already in it now. To get to the matter at hand Sanosuke focused his attention up ahead where the people in the back where hiding. More noticeably the guy with the black ponytail. A lot of Chakra was being circulated from them, but that wasn't even the most interesting part. His shadow—laced with a large amounts of chakra—seemed to be stretched across the battlefield which prompted his mind to something mentioned earlier by one of his JITE personnel.

Sanosuke was no stranger to the human chakra network, and from the looks of it the man seemed to be using a lot of Chakra. There was no telling what problems he might have responsible for creating on the battlefield thus far, and so it was through quick observation that Sanosuke decided he needed to be the focus of his attention. Using the aforementioned chaos created by his destruction of three clones in addition to everything else that was going on Sanosuke body flickered forward again to close the gap further between himself and his target.

Upon his arrival Sanosuke would briefly spot a puppet that was being pulled back by another Shinobi not too far from where Satoshi was standing himself. It seemed like if there was going to be a moment for him to do anything that now would definitely be the chance. He couldn't imagine they were giving up so soon, and if they were retreating one of their puppets it might have to mean something else was about to be in play.

With everyone else being occupied with Shodaime this was likely his last chance to change the tide of this battle so they could get her out of here. This was a lot of pressure to put on him team of JITE and his dear friend Mikazuki, but he had to trust their presence here was more than just being regular subordinates. They were among his best, and with that in mind Sanosuke would remove 6 senbon from his pouch.

3 in each hand so that he could maximize his accuracy with each throw. The first three being thrown from his right would be aimed toward the pressure point in Satoshi's wrist. 2 to the right wrist and another to the left. This was likely to create a reaction from the Shinobi as he wouldn't be able to move his hands and hopefully would be the starting process for breaking up whatever it was he was doing. Not to mention prevent the use of handseals going forward. Immediately after another 3 senbon would be thrown toward Satoshi's knees.

Two to the right and one more to the left to ensure he wouldn't have the chance to run away either. The speed and swiftness of which Sanosuke's arms were able to move would make it next to impossible to dodge without the right skillset, and the hope was that them standing away from the group meant they weren't entirely adapt at avoiding things. With the extra aid of his microscopic vision and his Bukijutsu level his aim was likely to be spot on, at least he hoped depending on how things played out.

In the aftermath of all of this Sanosuke would likely see more clones created from Keisuke headed toward Satoshi. The only way for sure he'd remain completely hidden would be based upon his success with Satoshi, and although he still wouldn't be visible if he were to be caught up by the time Keisuke's arrived there might be the possibility of trouble, but from what he could note nothing had been said aloud to note that there was an individual like himself in the area.

Nevertheless, he would attempt to body flicker toward the area he left in the hopes that none of the clones would be able to intercept him. This would likely put him in the area of what was happening with Shodaime with the hopes that an opening had finally been created

• NAME: Shunshin no Jutsu [Body Flicker Technique] ( second and third use )
  RANK: D
  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.
  
  NAME: Iwa Kansetsu Senbon [Rock Joint Senbon]
  RANK: A
  CHAKRA USAGE: Very Low
  CLASSIFICATION: Bukijutsu
  ELEMENT: -
  HANDSEALS: 0
  REQUIREMENT: Bukijutsu SA AND Medical/Anatomy/Combat Intel SA
  DESCRIPTION:
  With roots in acupuncture, this technique revolves around very precise throwing or launching of Senbon to slip between an enemy's joints, and lock them down with the metal needle preventing movement. The second part of this, is that due to the small and slick nature of Senbon, they are hard to pull out without cutting the surrounding flesh to provide some give to bring the needle out. Extensive application of this highly-precise art can render a person completely immobilized. The downsides to this is that the throw must be very precise, such accuracy a difficulty in the heat of battle, and that you must have a supply of Senbon on hand to use them in the first place.

Actions: Sanosuke uses Byakugan to quickly analyze Satoshi and upon his quick observation takes notice of his chakra output and shadow extension. Sanosuke then body flickers forward to get closer and then pulls out 6 senbon needles. With the aid of his Byakugan for precision, Golden gloves SA, AND bukijutsu technique aims to immobilize the limbs of Satoshi's wrist and then his knees. Afterward he attempts to body flicker back toward the area he came from in the vicinity of Shodaime.

Notes: Sanosuke is still camouflaged in the 'heavy' rainfall created and therefore does not have a shadow to be latched onto. From my understanding Satoshi might be able to track Sanosuke using KME? But between how much chakra he's using and everything else that he's been having to keep track of I think it would be fair to note that as a Chuunin being able to intercept me without some sort of consequence would be odd. Not to say anything I've done is guaranteed, just something to think about.

[Yamato]

As Junpei threw his explosive tagged kunai towards Kazuto's clone, he noted the retroactive, time-bending decision for the clone to not directly approach with 'a frontal assault' and instead flicker behind him with a single handseal. In the time it took for Kazuto's clone to form a handseal, Junpei did the same, utilizing the body flicker technique as well to shoot forward several dozen meters away from the clone that had attempted to strike him from the back.

He continued with his reaction to throw the rest of his kunai at Keisuke's clones that had jutsu prepared for him, trading blows with them as he felt hot, searing pain bite into him. The explosive thankfully dealt with the clone shortly after, which gave him enough time to still activate his dark cloud of fog. While maintaining the same seal, Junpei utilized more chakra to immediately harden the fog that surrounded him, giving it the strength of steel and blocking the Lightning Beast Running Technique that attempted to finish him off along with any attempts of the wisps to penetrate and give away his exact location.



Still, he was pretty heavily injured, and he took a moment to gather his strength. He remembered the scroll that Tsuki had given him and pulled it from his pocket, tossing up and out of his barrier of hardened, black smoke in hopes that she would take note and activate whatever was on it. Gritting his teeth he formed a set of handseals within the safety of his smoke as he waited for some sort of sign that there was an opportunity to switch from defense back to offense.

[As a side note Jian, it's extremely rude and bad form to try and tell other people what you think the damage they should have taken is. That's fully the other person's and the battlemod's decision.]

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.


NAME: Yamiji Dōka shimasu [Dark Road Assimilate]
RANK: A
CHAKRA USAGE: Medium, High
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu
ELEMENT: N/A
HANDSEALS: Four; last one held.
Requirement(s): One Clan SA & Chakra Control or larger reserves. A-rank shinobi or higher additionally.
DESCRIPTION:
The Dark Road Assimilation technique is a barrier broken for the Sairin. More specifically, it's one of the pinnacles of the control for the Dark Road chakra. It was created in high hopes to extend his power from the Village Supremacy Tournament. This technique is utilizing the chakra a new way, more free and fluent. Only costing a medium amount of chakra, however, if not having enough fog around, the user can release an explosion of fog from their seal. If done so, this technique will now cost a high amount of chakra. It can cover a 30-50m diameter in a harmless fog. Once done, the user can form the needed hand seals to use said fog in a creative way. One can form rectangular shaped objects, or otherwise square. Utilizing it either as a defense, supplementary or even offense. These objects can be projectiles as well. Often challenging someone who may have a Speed related SA, or perhaps specializes in Taijutsu. The size is often limited, width like eight feet, and height of roughly 16 feet maximum. A multitude of them can be made, roughly four maximum and can be used together to make structures. Their durability can be considered next to steel, making their defensive capabilities highly dependable as well as their offense. Capable of knocking out those who are directly hit, bone shattering, and can even kill on a strike. It is not advised to take one of these head on.

[Yamato]

After Haruko lost his scythe to the puppet, he found himself face to face with Kazuto's clone, which bent time and space to retroactively decided to not do a 'frontal assault' nor use the kunai it had been holding only moments before which seemed to suddenly disappear magically into nothingness as the clone instead made two fists. Haruko easily spun out of the way of the attack, reaching out with one fist as he sought to smack the clone away with the tail end of his rotation before proceeding.

The flash of light appeared and clued him into his chakra no longer being available to him. Shintori quickly reacted, throwing a smoke bomb at both of their feet to give them some cover to back away. Haruko gladly took the opportunity to leap well out of the range of the chakra suppressing technique, quickly noting that their priority target was being targeted by Toshizou and a large number of clones. He attempted to begin forming a new set of his signature clan seals for a powerful jutsu, only to suddenly find that his body was no longer responding to his commands.

Against his wishes, Haruko withdrew a kunai from one of his pouches, leaping towards Shodaime in an attempt to hold it against her neck and effectively hold her hostage even as the rest of the chaos of the battlefield unfolded.

Jutsu:

NAME: Kuikkurōtēshon [Quick Rotation]
RANK: D
CHAKRA USAGE: Very Low
CLASSIFICATION: Taijutsu
ELEMENT: -
HANDSEALS: 0
DESCRIPTION:
Utilizing chakra in the feet, ankles and legs specifically. It is a small amount of energy, but used precisely on reflexes and timing. This technique is gauged this way. When timed, the user can twist themselves abruptly out of the way of an attack. Like a speedy side-step, but a rotation of one's body to the side. A spin-move. This is only attacks in an immediate vicinity(three meters) anything else is too big an attack. Usually Taijutsu, but sometimes this technique is effective against close-range ninjutsu.

Name: Kesshō no Yoroi [Crystal Armor]
Rank: A-Rank
Chakra Usage: High
Classification: Ninjutsu
Element: Shōton
Description: With a simple use of a Tenchi Kaigen Kyoumon hand seal, the technique allows the user to be engulfed in a thin sturdy sheet of transparent crystal, only detectable once light reflects off it. This technique provides the user with great defense from all forms of physical attacks, and greatly enhances the user's physical attacks, allowing them to easily break bone, wood, and stone. Though, it by no means exceeds the power of chakra enhanced strength. The armor can be quite vulnerable to lightning, fire, and wind base attacks. If an area of the armor becomes cracked or broken, the user can regenerate the damaged armor by using a low amount of chakra.

[Yuie Tsuki]

Tsuki head on fighting could certainly be a challenge, but this shinobi thrived on preparation. Her movements were always intended to set her a step or multiple steps ahead of her opponents. She'd at this point set up her trap ring, moved in an amble number of blades and spread her sphere influence. Her helping hand puppets each extended her range and acted as an anchoring point for her strings, she was physically the farthest from the rough housing. However she was now also the most involved and immersed.

Unhindered her raven puppets took up crucial points on tree's, ground or among those few still flying. She'd give herself prime views of all the longest runs, as well as active cameras over the most clear battle fields. Her crescent moon puppet projectiles would swiftly immerse themselves in the going combat, attempting their best to swoop in from out of their peripheral. Initially it'd be about ten blades swooping around like blades, but as the battle centralized so would another ten. Finally using the relative motion of the fireflies and stretching of the darker shadow. Tsuki would put together a rough position of their last opponent. As soon as a raven would catch sight. Two groups of five would swarm in on the Nara attempting to come from all directions. Five raven puppets actively following and sticking around this combat.

Meanwhile those fighting each other would find more than this small distraction though. Tsuki was capable of moving one hundred puppets, her inactive strings would be ready to act. Her cameras noting a familiar puppet and sadly revealing information to a dark lord of it. As soon as those on her team stopped moving, it'd trigger the alertness of the elite jounin. Her puppets attached to them coming to life and scurrying up over their shoulders. The helping hand grasping the raise daggers, as the stick bug arm body would prop itself on those possessed shoulders. A string splitting from each, as the scrolls given would be unrolled. Confusion was it's own weapon and with a relative disregard to effectiveness Tsuki would release all her puppets carried by her allies.

Junpei in part triggering this summoning, as it'd seem the battle was close to shifting in Konoha's favor. So her Stealth snakes would populate each fight, ten looming snake faces puppets each holding their own weapon. One scroll the one Junpei threw up would release something completely different, a heavily armored looking samurai would crash land. It's weight was clearly massive as it'd crack the ground upon landing. Could Konoha's Kage stand up to the strength test? The Samurai coming alive with a hissing sound would move with such haste, it'd be easy to mistake this puppet for a shinobi joining the field. It wielded two katana, well it had the potential, as only one was drawn. The other seemed ready to be drawn at a moments notice.

This mass summoning wasn't an offensive measure, she'd changed much of the battle focus and hopefully threw her teams opposition into defense and possibly break concentrations. At this point the descending motherbird puppets would be swooping in, one specifically coming down on Shodaime and grasping their shoulders before yanking them up and away from the combat. Straight towards the border of Amegakure, but more so attempting to yank her through the field Tsuki had previously setup.

Able to control hundred puppets right now, Tsuki ends this post controlling forty crescent moon fist, ten ravens, two motherbird puppets, Heidi, seven of the combined helping hand and skipping bug puppets. Up to ten strings assisting the puppet attempting to glide Shodaime out. Despite summoning the puppets out of fifty stealth puppets only about twenty of these puppets those closest to opposing shinobi would come alive. Gently shifting towards that opposition, any large movements or attacks saved for her opponents making moves or attack. Tsuki is purposely holding back ten strings, as well as limiting actions with them to conserve.

SA:
Puppet Goddess
Tsuki's abilities with puppets is amazing, it can be argued as the greatest puppetry thanks to her performance of a hundred puppets. Her puppets are almost all unique constructs of her own design, she mostly abandoned the standard build of the wooden goofy haired puppet. Tsuki not only controls a hundred puppets though, she uses them as if they were a living army and overwhelms even small divisions of shinobi or large militia of angry bandits or civilians.

Amazing Chakra Control
Tsuki's chakra control is beyond amazing as she not only casts hundreds of chakra puppet strings, she controls them in such away to re-invent puppeteers. Her abilities going beyond even puppeteering though, as she's able to call upon her advanced element of Joton a less flashy but still impressive feat. Tsuki's chakra control is easily comparable to that of someone in clan known for having great chakra control.

Incredibly Intelligent
Tsuki is highly analytical and is quick to look over many details and still save the majority to her memory. Her brain erases and stores information almost effectively as a computer, as she often replays camera feeds to relive memories, to know she wasn't fooling herself with over confidence. She also almost always thinks out her own personal missions, she's they type of person whose thought ahead not only many moves, but has consider a few cheats along the path.

Advanced Engineer
Tsuki is not only good at making up plans on the spot or deciding a course of actions to be taken, she's also quite smart when it comes to fixing things or designing trinkets. Tsuki's skills go from steam engines, puppet mechanics and even some computer designing. She knows how to work with all of her equipment excellently and is even capable of repairing certain things on the field. Tsuki's know how and know who, makes her a lot of villagers go to for technical assistance. Tsuki's also the most capable in the village at working the different designed surveillance gear, as she's taken it into her personal protocol to fix any of the broken technology in Amegakure.

THE INK IS PUMPING, NOW YOU NEED
TO RUN BECAUSE THE DEMON'S
COMING

Squeakers watched as his chakra arm was suppressed out of manifestation shortly after pulling Shodaime to him, and he frowned beneath his mask. Is my chakra being drained? That wasn't ideal. Especially with the man with the sword providing ample threat to the jinchūriki and the target.
    No, it's not gone. It's just being suppressed, Gyūki voiced.
    Like I'm dealing with additional seals, the jinchūriki figured in response. He glanced around his surroundings to get a grasp at the cause of the issue, one hand ripping off the black gloved part of his suit to expose his right palm. Seared flesh in his hand had made a seal, and with the swordsman now on the scene, it had become apparent to the jinchūriki that he'd have to get serious. He didn't need chakra to fight, and until he could figure out exactly how to counter the suppression technique he would rely on his raw prowess and ability.
    This man had quite the dazzling sword, but how would it fare against Squeakers's?
    For the time being, they wouldn't get to know.
    Darting over to Shodaime, he had the intention to grab her and use his 3DMG to remove her from the scene, but froze in place, instead, when he got hit by the Yamanaka's technique in her place. It happened in an instant, but even with Tomomi's mind-replacement technique striking the jinchūriki, it wasn't guaranteed to still be a success.
    Trapped in the Mindscape, Tomomi's battle had only been half-won.

The room was dark. Cold. Thick metal pipes twisted along the cracked concrete walls, steam occasionally hissed out from them, and a lamp from overhead provided a steady glow of light. There were deep rifts and cracks in the floors and throughout the vicinity, as though it had survived through many earth-rendering quakes and tears. There was one chasm that had split the environment nearly in two. A strong current of water could be heard from the darkness that veiled off the depth of the room, and Mikazuki stood guardian before it.
    She didn't look like Squeakers. And she wouldn't, aside from the black clothing. Her arms and face were littered with scars, and her hair moved slightly as though from a breeze due to the power coursing through her.
    Her eyes were white like the moon, though the irises were lined with an inky black.
    The woman would turn her head to look at the intruder who dared try to overtake her mind, her gaze like daggers.
    What's this? Her voice echoed through the room in a hundred whispers.
    Looks like someone is trying to pilot your body. Gyūki's voice rumbled from the darkness.
    This can't be. It can't be. They know my face now, after everything I've done to try hiding it. Everything I've worked so hard for-- the room began to tremble. Blood dripped from the ceiling and the light glinted red. She looked at the intruder, her eyes wild like a beast as rage began to consume her.
    She would move with impressive speed upon the intruder, her face cracking into a wicked grin. "I see how things are," the jinchūriki hissed, grabbing Tomomi by the collar of their shirt. "One of your partners is trying to suppress my bijū's powers. And you think you can control me? EVEN THOUGH MY WILL HAS THE STRENGTH TO REIN IN A TAILED BEAST???" She laughed, manic. "You want to control me? My chakra? My partner? Alright! Be my guest!" Dragging the intruder into the darkness, they could try to fight back--but Mikazuki would approach the beast sealed inside. Massive gysers shot out from the depths below, and the jinchūriki reached out a hand, forcing two more down and unveiling more of the beast to them.
    "Try controlling this."

If the Nara was struggling to suppress the jinchūriki as it already had been, and was burning through his reserves with how things already were, this would most likely serve the end of him. The seals undid themselves, and the jinchūriki's chakra levels continued to skyrocket at a greater intensity than before as his powers multiplied. Power coursed through his limbs and continued to transmute his form. Burning rage seared through the jinchūriki's mind as those within it were flooded with incontrollable malice, the chakra like a venom. The ground beneath him would begin to crumble, and his chakra would sear the flesh of anyone who dared to get too close as five tails danced behind their form.

SPOILER: Click to show

Chakra Shroud [1 Tail]
v1. When the first tail forms in the jinchuriki’s chakra shroud, her physical strength, durability, and speed dramatically increase and she can take a hit even against most other jinchuriki at this stage. Low ranked weapons do minimal damage to the jinchuriki by this time, and her skin becomes even tougher and more difficult to cut through. Two translucent chakra horns appear at the girl’s crown in this form, and can be used offensively in a fight. The jinchuriki’s eyes are completely white at this point--lined with black, and in this form, Mikazuki is still capable of using ink offensively and defensively.

Chakra Shroud [2 Tail]
v1. When the second tail appears, Mikazuki gains even more access to Gyūki’s chakra pool, and the chakra shroud starts to become more corporeal--capable of dealing and taking hits with more power than the previous form. At this point, it is difficult for most weapons to even cut through the chakra and get to the jinchuriki before getting damaged. Her bones become even stronger than before, making her even more unbreakable, and two more horns grow beside its predecessors. With her four horns appearing similarly to Gyūki’s own, she has a broader range of protection and can still use them as a weapon should the need arise.

Chakra Shroud [3 Tail]
v1. When the third tail forms, Mikazuki is offered yet another boost in her strength and speed, whilst her constitution is tripled. At this point, the jinchuriki’s physical body has become durable enough to endure the blows of a sole taijutsu user far above her rank, and with her physical arms feeling almost like steel at this point and her chakra shroud taking on a much thicker, far more powerful form, she can easily deal powerful blows of equal strength. During this time, only the most powerful of weapons can get through to and damage the jinchuriki, as her shroud has already become dense and powerful enough to protect her from most mortal harm. Her jaw and teeth have begun to appear more like Gyūki’s in their strength, and she is capable of breaking lower-ranked weapons with sheer force alone.

Chakra Shroud [4 Tail]
v1. As the fourth tail slowly takes shape, it along with its previous tails elongate slightly and allow for more range. The suckers on each tendril shift and look much more life-like than their previously bubble-like appearance, and, if the jinchuriki wills it, these tails can easily hold on to even the most slippery of opponents and keep them in their place with more range than before. Mikazuki’s physical strength, speed, and durability dramatically increase at this point, multiplying rapidly as she also gains even more access to Gyūki’s chakra pool. Her shroud of chakra does even more damage to the world around her, where even standing in place can deteriorate things in direct contact with her. In this phase, Mikazuki can breathe underwater as though it were air and swim through it twice as fast as normally.

Chakra Shroud [5 Tail]
v1. Another, long tail appears in the cloak of chakra and as her physical strength continues to grow to insane levels, Mikazuki’s body will begin to heal itself. In a single day, all minor and major injuries will be repaired. As the chakra prepares for the upcoming stages, it works to preserve the jinchuriki’s body as well as it can and will even regenerate lost limbs given the right amount of time so long as she is still breathing. Around four days is usually what it takes to regenerate an entirely lost limb. If a lost limb is sewed back on to the open wound, it won't need to regenerate completely--only reconnect--which will take much less time. During this stage, although still capable of ink techniques and all the abilities it possessed before, the jinchuriki is capable of breaking the ground with mere fists alone that sends a powerful shock wave after, easily knocking opponents off their feet if not worse. Powerful war cries can momentarily deafen those nearby.
