Prerequisite: 5 Control
While often thought to be an enchanting process, the process of creating chakra tempered weapons is known to most any smith who has basic chakra control. The skill represents the smith’s ability to recognize minerals and ores that are good for accepting the tempering process, and know how to temper weapons with chakra.

*[Weapons Crafting • Evaluation]
C-rank Weapons Crafting Discipline
A skilled crafter, this user is able to look at any weapons or armor and immediately recognize if it is tempered or not, and if not, the static strength of that piece of equipment.

For example, if they have a sword with 30 strength that blocks two 40 strength strikes, it will not shatter, and would suffer growing structural damage to the weapon but if they used it to block another (third) strike it would immediately shatter. This allows the crafter to avoid losing weapons.

S-rank Weapon Crafting Maneuver
Prerequisite: 30 Control, *[Weapons Crafting • Tempering]
An incredibly complex skill to use, chakra tempering is often thought to be a permanent process. But a master smith is able to recognize any weapons that are chakra tempered and during the heat of battle, use their own chakra to undo that tempering. By channeling chakra into their own weapons or equipment, when they meet with a chakra tempered weapon they release the chakra they’ve channeled into a burst against the weapon. The opponent will feel this surge of chakra and, in the moment, be able to resist it. Should the user’s Control be less than or equal to the target’s Control, they’ll be able to prevent this effect. Otherwise, the tempering of their weapon will come undone. If a weapon’s chakra tempering is undone, it retains any built in properties (reinforcement, design benefits, etc), but will no longer be able to use any chakra based effects (enchantments, used as a medium for jutsu, etc) until the tempering is returned. Undoing tempering this way is permanent until redon, but does not remove enchanted effects rather only disables them.

D-rank Taijutsu Discipline
Prerequisites: [Charge & Augment Fuuinjutsu Concentration]
Not an actual fuuinjutsu technique, this discipline is the first step in a fuuinjutsu user being able to utilized 'Ancient Rune' techniques. A highly sought after talent, Runes are an ancient form of fuuinjutsu much stronger than the standard fuuinjutsu and are used to embed jutsu effects into things on a permanent basis.

D-rank Ancient Rune Fuuinjutsu
Prerequisite: *[Ancient Rune: Scholar]

A semi-permanent version of fuuinjutsu, previously shaped chakra can be placed into a rune and then embedded into an object, allowing for the effect to be retained by the weapon indefinitely. Unlike standard charge fuuin, Runes cannot be removed via fuuinjutsu removal, but are negated when the object is detempered. This technique cannot be performed in combat.

*[Ancient Rune: Ninpou Storage]
D-rank Ancient Rune Fuuinjutsu
Prerequisite: *[Ancient Rune: Scholar]
Having learned how to utilize ancient runes, this user has also learned how to store and manipulate pre-existing chakra shapes. By generating the rune, the user can bring the Rune in contact with a Ninpou Technique with less [Control] than the Rune was drawn with.

Prerequisite: *[Ancient Rune: Scholar], [Doton]

Items can only bear one such rune, as competing passives will cancel each other out.[Ancient Rune: Raiton Passive]Passive (Enduring)ShowDoton has a passive effect of Endurance, which means that it's power is retained throughout the entirety of the jutsu. All of a single doton jutsu retains the strength of the jutsu, even after the jutsu has been destroyed, and unlike other jutsu, doton does not fade when destroyed. This means that if a doton barrier with 25 strength is cut in half and falls to the ground, a part of that barrier could be picked up and carried as a hand held shield which would still have 25 strength, despite being a fractured part of a jutsu. This creates incredibly potent defenses, making doton a popular affinity among defensive fighters.

In organic material, this causes nervous stimulation which results in numbness, tingling, loss of sensation, and sometimes paralysis based on the [Strength] of the technique. In inorganic material, this means that the strength of the jutsu diffuses across an area 2x the size of the attack. In a jutsu that creates a lightning ball 2m in diameter, if it struck a wall the size of the attack would cover a 4m area.C-Rank TechniquesShow*[Ancient Rune: Apprentice]

History
Historical AccountsShow
Kaiho Masumune was born to an extremely poor family in Xincha, prior to the formation of the Heart Empire. His family was loving, but never had enough to eat for himself or his brothers--and so, the moment that he turned 5, he was sold to a local blacksmith as a live-in apprentice. Kaiho didn't resent the decision--it gave his parents enough money to get out of debt and begin to claw their way back up the social ladder, and the conditions he was moving to were actually better than what he'd had before. Rather than going hungry, he always at least had some gruel in his belly. Instead of sleeping on the floor, he slept on a bunk in the apprentice's quarters. And best of all, he found the one true love of his life: smithing.
He absorbed knowledge like a sponge, often offering to work double overtime shifts to learn all he could from the master smith and the senior apprentices--often, this meant standing quietly and watching, getting them atter or fuel or more materiel as they requested. Still, he was allowed to smith small things at first--horseshoe nails, caltrops, and rough kunai for the shop's many customers. Soon, though, he found that the tongs were easier to grip, that he didn't get as tired when manning the bellows, and he began to grow like a weed thanks to the physical strain and the constant, steady meals. After all, food was only withheld if you made a mistake, and Kaiho Masamune did not make mistakes in the forge.
In fact, by the age of 10 he was named a senior apprentice, able to assist the master directly and forge more complicated items, such as horseshoes and wakizashi blades. He was the youngest among the apprentices to achieve such an honor, and it was well-deserved. The metal seemed to sing to him as his hammer struck the cherry-red metal, and he found himself able to know the precise timing for striking, heating, cooling, and tempering the blade in an almost instinctual way, and the items he produced were of an unusual quality. Even if he only assisted in the creation of a blade or piece of armor, the item would often turn out extremely well, even for the apprentices and journeymen. The head smith recognized this talent and took the young boy under his wing, teaching him everything he possibly could about the finer details of his craft and honing his abilities in hearing the Song of Steel.
At the age of twelve, the blacksmith offered Kaiho the opportunity to either come on as a jounior blacksmith under him, or gain a Journeyman's badge and go out into the world to learn more smithing techniques. Kaiho thanked his master graciously for the offer, but took the journeyman's badge, and set out on a 16-year journey through the world. During this time he traveled all over the continent and beyond, learning more crafting techniques including the Runesmithing technique. By the time he returned home, he was 20 years old, covered in scars, and surprised to find the country much-changed. The Heart Empire had come about while he was away, and Xincha had undergone something of a steampunk industrialization, but one thing did not change: people still needed smiths to produce blades to stand up to the Shinobi's techniques.
For the past 20 years, Masamune Kaiho has operated a storefront in the bustling heart of Xincha, one which is somewhat difficult to find--down an alley in the Smithing District, with a plain storefront and a simple wooden sign that reads Masamune Smithy, where those in the know can obtain wonderous armor and blades, should the smithy within like you enough. Masamune Kaiho is selective about his clientele, only making blades for those he deems worthy of them.
