Naruto Saigen Roleplay

Arrows:

• 30 "Standard" Arrows, approximately 82cm in length with razor sharp broadhead tips and bright white fletching.
• 10 "Hunter" Arrows, approximately 82cm in length with Judo tips, designed to grip onto enemies with their sharp barbs, and have blood red fletching. Additionally, these special arrows can lock onto a chakra signature, following their target and able to change direction in up to a 90 degree arc, following them through all but the roughest of terrain for up to 4 posts.

D Rank:

*[Basic Jutsu • Clone Technique]
D-Ranked Ninjutsu
After completing a set of handseals, the user forms a slight chakra 'body', thus creating a single, massless clone. The clone created from this technique is very basic and will dissipate when hit with anything. These clones do not possess vital signs or a unique chakra signature, meaning they don't disrupt the environment, and anything on their person is superficial. The clone has 1 in each stat. They are limited to basic movements.

*[Basic Jutsu • Transformation Technique]
D-Ranked Ninjutsu
After completing the needed handseals, the user of this technique will be able to alter their physical appearance to match that of another person. By consistently emitting chakra throughout their body, the user is able to keep their appearance adjusted at the cost of their Chakra Pool draining over time. As this technique is quite strenuous to uphold, experienced shinobi may see more clearly through this delusive disguise. This technique lasts for a number of posts equal to that of the user's (Chakra Pool/2).

*[Basic Jutsu • Chakra Kai]
D-Ranked Ninjutsu
A jutsu used with the purpose of activating seals and a range of devices and weapons, this technique begins with a single handseal. Once this has been performed, the user will focus a dollop of their chakra into what they are looking to activate in order to complete the task. Seals activated with this technique must be within 10 meters of the user's position.

*[Basic Jutsu • Act of Tree Climbing]
D-Ranked Ninjutsu
By focusing chakra into his/her feet, the user is able to walk up trees and other vertical surfaces in a similar fashion to walking along the ground. This chakra amount must be precise, and although all shinobi learn this technique, the user's control stat will determine how well this jutsu can be executed. Users with low control 2 or lower will often fall during the use of this technique, while users with average control 3 or higher will be able to use this technique functionally. It lasts for a number of posts equal to the user's Chakra Pool.

*[Basic Jutsu • Act of Water Surface Walking]
D-Ranked Ninjutsu
A variation of the Act of Tree Climbing technique, this jutsu requires the user to focus a precise and balanced amount of charka into the soles of his/her feet. By doing so, the user is able to walk on the surface of water as though it were a solid surface. Users with low control 2 or lower are much more likely to fall through the surface of the water, while users with average control 3 or higher will be able to use this technique functionally. It lasts for a number of posts equal to the user's Chakra Pool.

*[Basic Jutsu • Kai Release]
D-Ranked Ninjutsu
A rather simple technique that allows the user to escape from a genjutsu. The user will form a single ram seal and focus to reset their chakra system to purge themselves of foreign chakra. The stat requirements for this technique can be found in the genjutsu rules.

*[Basic Jutsu • Change of Body Stance Technique]
D-Ranked Ninjutsu
After completing the necessary handseals, the user is able to quickly substitute his/her body with a nearby object that is at least 2/3rds his/her size, but no bigger than their body. This substitution allows the object to take the force of the attack that was meant for the user, additionally allowing the user to create distance between him/her and the opponent. The object used in this jutsu may not be objects that are imbued with chakra or controlled by it, and they may also only be single, solid objects within a 10 meter radius of the user. This technique may only be used a total of one time in a single thread, give or take how many times Shunshin no Jutsu has already been used.

E Rank:

Instant Harden
E-Ranked Ninjutsu
With a single handseal, Fuhen will instantly harden any of his saliva he chooses up to 20 + (Control/2) meters away.

Tales of The Shogun:

Whether he likes and realizes it or not, Fuhen has become quite famous for his various deeds. The Tales of The Shogun are titles granted to him by wandering bards who have heard his tales, or who have seen them first hand, or some are titles of close friends or rivals, techniques he has learned from them in their time together. More than a technique, each jutsu represents a piece of history that at least some small corner of the world knows about him as he ascends to the title of Shogun and beyond.

D-Rank:

The Maker of Many Women
D-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Over the course of his travels, Fuhen has found 'comfort' in many a girl who he later turned into a woman. This has also led to plenty of misunderstandings from fathers, would be husbands, and boyfriends that required him to flee at great speed to avoid a serious confrontation. These unfortunate misunderstandings often required him to be able to throw his clothes on at ridiculous speeds, and thanks to the almost common occurrence of this, he has gained the ability to take his clothes off faster than the blink of an eye, and put them back on in the same speed, with nary but a shirt on a backwards, on occasion.

B-Rank:

Who is Often Surprised, But Never Unprepared
B-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Many times in his samurai career, Fuhen has been caught unawares. Whether it be from animals curious to why he is in their territory, assassins sent by those he has fought in the past, or any number of things, Fuhen has become used to fighting in even the strangest of situations. This means that Fuhen knows how to fight from just about any position, whether it be moving through the air, laying on his back or stomach, or entrenched in small tunnels with hardly any room to swing a fist.

A-Rank:

The Defender of the Forests of Fire Country
A-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Fuhen survived what would have been a deadly encounter to most with an oversized lizard in Fire Country while on the job with his friend, Naoki, thanks to his ability to just keep standing up after getting knocked down. This is because of his incredible pain tolerance, built up not only from being beaten on by giant lizards, but any number of samurai wishing to challenge him, or bandits wishing to threaten his safety. With this, he is able to ignore even the most severe of physical pain and keep pushing through at full strength, even if he were to be burned all over, lose limbs, or be run through by spears. This wouldn't prevent him from bleeding out or being otherwise killed by such things (though it would provide a great degree of immunity to death through shock), it simply means he is able to ignore them at will to continue fighting.

The Man of Many Losses
A-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Fuhen has lost much over the course of his life, lovers, friends, swords, but perhaps what hit him the most was the loss of his father. Despite his burning rage at the injustice of the situation, such events have made him a stronger man mentally and emotionally. Similar to "Defender of the Forests of Fire Country", this is not about dulling the sense of emotion, but rather learning to push through it, and mourn at appropriate times. This allows him to shoulder his way through mental trauma that might leave others crying messes and get to the point of whatever situation he is in.

The Master Entertainer and Master Swordsman
A-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
One of the many ways Fuhen makes money during his travels is by being a performer, when mercenary work is low, or he doesn't have time to accept such contracts. He is considered excellent at this due to his outward personality, his interesting speech mannerisms that make people feel more comfortable around him, or laugh, or both, and of course, his ability to perform inhuman feats with his body. He is what most would classically call 'double jointed', able to turn his head around nearly 180 degrees, bend over backwards to essentially fold himself in half, or do the same with other joints that aren't meant to do as such, the elbows or knees, or thanks to his strength and flexibility combined, perform such feats as leaning so far forwards that his nose touches the ground without his feet leaving their spot.

The Clumsy Tumbler
A-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Despite his clearly supernatural physical abilities, Fuhen was not always so. As a child his long, gangly limbs and gigantic body made him quite awkward and clumsy, and as such he suffered many falls. Now a man, used to his body, and also used to the concept of falling, he has become preternaturally adept at all manners of tumbling, and also picking himself back up when a tumble simply isn't possible. This means that even if thrown with excessive force beyond that of terminal velocity, he is able to turn it into a roll and correct himself to minimize damage, so long as he has momentum and isn't simply thrown straight into the ground. Just as well, should a fall be inevitable, kipping up has become second nature.

S-Rank:

The Victor of Fur Country: On The Hunt For The White Stag
S-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Through the many competitions of Fur Country, Fuhen found victory again and again. Whether it be hunting, dueling, or any number of tasks, nobody in his bracket could match him. This is due in large part to his experience in all manners of things martial, but also thanks to his extraordinary senses. All five of his senses have been highly tuned through years of practice and dedication, and while none of them are necessarily more sensitive, even the slightest bit of change from another slight bit of change can be read and interpreted in a split second. This first jutsu in the series makes his nose is good enough to be able to track someone by scent better than a bloodhound up to five miles away, and notice any sudden changes in scents easily. With the two senses so strongly interconnected, this also effects his sense of taste, allowing him to detect differences in blood or soil samples, or taste even otherwise tasteless poisons in his food.

The Victor of Fur Country: First Round of The Tournament
S-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
This second jutsu in the series makes him an excellent visual tracker, able to control his eyes independently to better follow multiple moving targets, or noticing even the slightest changes in the scenery, whether it be the way dust particles move around in the wind, or the slightest breeze barely nudging grass. This effect can go outwards up to two miles, with his regular vision still being effective past that.

The Victor of Fur Country: Semifinals of The Tournament
S-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
This third jutsu in the series makes him an excellent auditory conduit. Able to hear the slightest pitch changes in someone's voice, the whistle of an arrow over a mile away, or make out a distinct conversation even in the din of a workshop or busy market from up to 100m away.

The Victor of Fur Country: The Finals!
S-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
This final jutsu in the series gives Fuhen an ultimate sense of touch on all things. His sense of touch is so great that he can even feel vibrations on the ground of people moving nearby, even in thick snow like that present in Fur. This vibration sense has a 50m range, and while he can't tell exactly what each vibration is caused by unless he's felt them before, he can get a distinct impression on the number, weight, and size of objects and people within range.

Who Fights by Heart Alone
S-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Prerequisite: The Victor of Fur Country, Who is Often Surprised, But Never Unprepared
Whether it be blinded by rage, blinded by bright lights, deaf by loud noises, or any other such things, Fuhen has always found ways out of the situation. The rumors say he does it, fighting with only his heart, but the truth is that because his senses are so highly tuned, that as long as one of his 5 senses are available (or six, should the need arise), that he can continue fighting with as much skill, speed, and precision as ever. Even the otherwise minor sense of taste can be fully utilized to fight opponents, a truly impossible feat that nobody would believe, and as such, fighting with his heart is a much easier answer.

Reichou Renjutsu:

Blessed as the Shogun and being the avatar of Takiyasha-hime herself, Fuhen's natural charisma overflows to those around him, allowing him to stir a crowd or a war party with his raw Willpower and Grit in a matter of moments. Any Renjutsu uses the average of his Grit and Willpower for any necessary stat battles and follows the taijutsu pyramids. The majority of these techniques are not used for combat, but rather to rally people to a cause. Undoing these techniques on a large scale requires different social techniques based on the type of Renjutsu used, but generally, people can be won back with similar Willpower-based techniques, and unless otherwise specified, these last until disrupted.

B-Rank:

Convincing Demeanor
B-Rank Renjutsu Discipline
A foundational technique for the rest of Fuhen's Reichou Renjutsu, this discipline means that while addressing a crowd, even if they are against him or his goal, in the beginning, he can read the room and approach them in a way to draw them to his side. This can be done in many ways, such as by picking out individual members to bring over, creating a domino effect, or making appeals to logic or emotion.

Unrest
B-Rank Renjutsu Maneuver
After successfully winning a crowd over, Fuhen causes general unrest amongst the populace. This causes the people affected to be consistently less satisfied with whatever Fuhen has brought to their attention, whether it be the color of the sky or their current leadership. This makes winning a crowd back to an opposing side much more difficult and can have long-term effects even leading to rebellion.

Placate
B-Rank Renjutsu Maneuver
Much the opposite of Unrest, this technique allows Fuhen to satisfy a crowd with his words. This causes the people affected to be generally happier in demeanor towards him, or whatever he has drawn their attention to. Sometimes this is done with promises, empty or not, but is often done through simple appeals to logic or emotion.

I Set My Sail
B-Rank Renjutsu Maneuver
For when playing a long game, after appealing directly to the crowd, Fuhen can make a call to action. This call to action can be anything from "farm the fields" to "get rid of the emperor." While not everyone in the crowd can be swayed to such calls to action, the purpose of this is to put the idea in people's minds that this is what needs to be done. Over time, this will lead to small groups forming splinter cells with the call to action in mind, and if left untended will lead to long-term effects such as rebellion.

A-Rank:

I Dig My Hole, You Build a Wall
A-Rank Renjutsu Maneuver
After winning over a crowd, Fuhen rallies the people within it, encouraging smaller leaders from within to take charge and convincing them to perform feats for him, usually physical in nature. This is most often used to rally people together for putting up quick defenses, simple buildings, or similar effects.

One Day That Wall Is Gonna Fall
A-Rank Renjutsu Maneuver
After winning over a crowd, Fuhen rallies the people within it, encouraging smaller leaders from within to take charge and convincing them to perform feats for him, usually physical in nature. Much the opposite of I Dig My Hole, You Build a Wall, the commands given with this technique are usually used destructively in nature, whether it be tearing down simple structures and defenses, or starting a classic pitchfork and torch mob.

I'm Coming Home
A-Rank Renjutsu Maneuver
After having successfully used I Set My Sail, and after an appropriate amount of time has passed, ranging anywhere from days to years depending on how dire the original call to action was, Fuhen can use the same call to action on a similar crowd full of largely the same people. With the previous call to action and the aforementioned splinter cells in place, the command will be headed by both those who had already been working towards it, as well as those who were on the fence beforehand. This leads to that call to action being attempted immediately.

S-Rank:

Gon' Build That City On a Hill
S-Rank Renjutsu Maneuver
After winning over a crowd, Fuhen rallies the people within it, encouraging smaller leaders from within to take charge and convincing them to perform feats for him, usually physical in nature. This higher-ranked technique is used to rally people long-term to begin work on massive construction projects, such as building complex castles, cities, and more. Thanks to the aid of his leadership, the people work fervently to achieve the goals outlined, able to do the work in half the time it would take people otherwise to perform such work.

But Now You've Got Nowhere To Run
S-Rank Renjutsu Maneuver
After winning over a crowd, Fuhen rallies the people within it, encouraging smaller leaders from within to take charge and convincing them to perform feats for him, usually physical in nature. Much the opposite of Gon' Build That City On a Hill, the commands given with this technique are usually used destructively in nature. This higher-ranked technique is used to rally people into a foaming fervor and can be used for longer-term projects such as razing an entire city to the ground or convincing an unruly mob to turn into a violent riot.

Someday Your Bird Is Gonna Fly
S-Rank Renjutsu Maneuver
Taking most of a post to stir up a crowd, Fuhen's natural Shogun energy leaks off into them incidentally. With both his and the crowd's emotions high, the crowd becomes capable of superhuman feats, effectively becoming an S-rank swarm in size and power. This stirring of the crowd can last for up to six posts for combat or can be used for non-combat purposes such as construction and the like to rapidly put together or tear apart nearly anything.

Hard Work Style:

This specialized style is only available to those who have perfected the art of taijutsu, through incredible training of the body unattainable by most others. Involving many strange techniques from manipulating ones own sweat, to vibrating ones body at incredible frequencies to form impossible feats of physical dexterity and strength. Requires Heavenly Body Control, and Fuhen's Shogun ability.

Strong Fist:

This style focuses on being overall more physically powerful than your opponent. Users attempt to overwhelm defenses with great speed and strength while chipping away at their opponent’s Endurance and keeping their own at the highest possible. Most attacks are simple in execution but extremely powerful in effect, causing battles of attrition to be in their favor. Requires: CQC Concentration

D Rank:

*[Strong Fist Style • Leaf Gale]
D-Ranked Taijutsu Maneuver
A simple sweeping kick aimed low to knock the opponent off balance.

*[Strong Fist Style • Dynamic Entry]
D-Ranked Taijutsu Maneuver
In this technique, the user builds momentum and speed in order to bridge the gap between themselves and a distanced target. After covering an appropriate distance, the user then lets loose a form of distraction, like a thrown object, in order to misdirect the target's attention. The user then leaps with their momentum, delivering a strong kick to bridge the rest of the distance.

*[Strong Fist Style • Dynamic Action]
D-Ranked Taijutsu Maneuver
Because distances tend to become the problem in most taijutsu, the practitioner will advance with every strike. This creates a tempo of advancement that is designed to wear down their opponent through ever pressing strikes, giving little chance for escape or recovery.

*[Strong Fist Style • One Inch Punch]
D-Ranked Taijutsu Discipline
When fighting in close quarters it becomes difficult to generate energy for full powered strikes. Practitioners have learned how to explode force from every muscle with minimal energy wasted and space needed. Every strike done by the practitioner has the potential to be at full strength, so long as they have at least one inch of movement.

C Rank:

*[Strong Fist Style • Thunder Leaf Fist]
C-Ranked Taijutsu Maneuver
An attack that is slow to wind up but powerful in execution. The adept tenses every muscle in their shoulders and arms while twisting their core for a powerful strike. For the 1/4 post they spend winding up they're treated as having a -6 speed. However, when the strike is released it comes nearly instantly and at a +6 strength.

B Rank:

*[Strong Fist Style • Leaf's Flashing Might]
B-Ranked Taijutsu Maneuver
Requiring a full post of charge time the user tenses their entire body in preparation, becoming immobile. During this time they will look for their direct path and position themselves with their elbow pointed forward. At the end of the post they will release all of this pent up energy with extreme force, leaping nearly instantaneously a number of yards equal to their strength. If their strength is high enough this can punch through obstacles on their path and create extreme damage to opponents who are hit by it. Often used as an opening attack and cannot be done more than twice per thread.

D Rank:

Spot-on Spit
D-rank Taijutsu Maneuver
Thanks to his excessively dexterous and powerful tongue, Fuhen has learned to work his spit in his mouth, aim, and shoot it towards targets with great distance, speed, and precision. The speed and impact at which it flies with the aid of this technique is equal to his Strength stat.

C Rank:

Connecting Conundrum
C-rank Taijutsu Maneuver
Having learned to master his incredibly sticky spit, Fuhen can spit, leaving a string of saliva to his mouth, and then spit again at another object, connecting the two. The saliva will continue to stretch and connect the two objects up to the saliva's strength in meters.

Raucous Reel
C-rank Taijutsu Maneuver
Further mastering his odd saliva, Fuhen can spit, leaving a string of saliva connecting to his mouth, and then suck in with force, pulling the object towards him at a speed equal to his strength.

River King:

Available only thanks to Fuhen's mostly dormant Frog DNA, this style takes over Fuhen's body, allowing him to embrace his nature, and perform superhuman feats. All jutsu in the style require Fuhen to be in "River King Style Nature of the Beast" stance to perform them. All frog-transformation based techniques transform Fuhen at variable speeds based on his needs and desires, but never exceed his own speed. Requires Fuhen's Numakon ability.

B Rank:

River King Style • Nature of the Beast
B-rank Taijutsu Stance
Unleashing the dormant genes of a broad range of frog and toad species, Fuhen will crouch down on all fours, and let out a mighty croak. As he does so, his throat will bulge out like that of a frog or toad, and his skin will begin to take on a darker appearance, shifting from its usual pale state to that of a green. Dark freckles will also appear all over his body, generally giving him a much more frog like appearance. This stance alters some functions of Fuhen's body, offering the following effects: His tongue will be able to extend out to [Endurancex2] in meters, his saliva will be produced at a much more rapid rate allowing him to 'quickfire' his saliva, his ability to jump is doubled (stacking with natural Numakon jumping talents), and he gains the ability to function in the water just as well as he would on the ground. This stance is meant to maintained and stacked on top of other frog transformation stances. Maintaining this stance for more than 6 posts will start to tear Fuhen's body apart as he begins to lose control of the genetic manipulation, causing the equivalent of a moderate wound for every post after the sixth.

River King Style • Dokusatsu's Last Call
B-rank Taijutsu Maneuver
Channeling the genes of a poison dart frog, Fuhen's skin will begin to warp in bright colors, everything from bright blues to radiant reds will swelter across his form. His sweat and saliva glands will begin to secrete a simple poison that will cause anyone else who makes contact with either substance to begin to swell severely at point of contact after a single post. After 2 posts, the affected person will begin to feel incredibly nauseous, likely leading to vomiting. After 4 posts, the affected person will begin to suffer from muscle paralysis in the affected area, deadening its usefulness. The poison will last up to 3 posts after the final effect has occurred. This cannot be used at the same time as similar frog-transformation based maneuvers.

River King Style • Keiteki's Hearty Morsel
B-rank Taijutsu Maneuver
Channeling the genes of an ornate horned frog, two cartilage protrusions about two inches in length will sprout from his forehead like horns, and his entire body will seem to balloon up, making him wider and taller by a couple of inches. This maneuver allows Fuhen to unhinge his jaw to a ridiculous degree, granting him the ability to bite down and swallow anything his entire body's size or smaller. This also allows him to bite with his full strength, allowing him to bite down hard enough to bisect a human being, or worse. Lastly, this also greatly increases the rate at which his body digests food, as well as 'simplifying' his digestive tract, ensuring that small objects (kunai, etc) will be dissolved in half a post, medium objects (swords, shields, etc) will be dissolved in 1 post, and large objects (full sized humans) will be dissolved in 2 posts. This cannot be used at the same time as similar frog-transformation based maneuvers.

River King Style • Ippatsu's Heavy Slash
B-rank Taijutsu Maneuver
Channeling the genes of a hairy frog, thick fur will sprout from the sides of fuhen's legs, and his entire body/hair will take a much more gray appearance. The bones of his fingers and toes will grow out enough to burst free from his skin, allowing him to use them as powerful claws. Likewise, the hair sprouted from his legs act as vibration sensors, giving him acute spacial awareness in a 5m bubble around him. When the transformation ends, the bones will retract and the skin will heal up almost immediately. This cannot be used at the same time as other frog-transformation based maneuvers.

River King Style • Omoi's Big Show
B-rank Taijutsu Maneuver
Channeling the genes of a goliath frog, Fuhen's body will almost double in size and mass, while he becomes a much more traditionally dark green color, though this does not effect his ability to wield weaponry. This provides no inherent stat increases, but the extra weight and size can easily be used to throw an enemy off balance, crush them under his weight, or at least be a tipping point in overpowering equally strong opponents. This cannot be used at the same time as other frog-transformation based maneuvers.

River King Style • Murasaki's Burrowing Discovery
B-rank Taijutsu Maneuver
Channeling the genes of a purple frog, Fuhen's face will round out into more of a snout shape, and his skin will turn dark purple in color. This maneuver allows him to copy the actions of the aforementioned frog, giving him the ability to tunnel under the earth freely at his normal speed with no obvious ground displacement. The snout helps to detect vibrations for the sake of moving towards specific areas, however there is no way to truly 'see' above ground with normal senses, and as such memory is the primary way of not getting lost. This cannot be used at the same time as other frog-transformation based maneuvers.

River King Style • Tamaishi's Wrecking Crew
B-rank Taijutsu Maneuver
Channeling the genes of a pebble toad, Fuhen's body will shift to a deep brown/grey color, and lumps will form all over his body as his skin thickens significantly. This offers two benefits, the first being that his skin becomes harder than stone, giving him armor all over equal in strength to his strength. The second is that his body becomes considerably more elastic, or bouncy, allowing him to roll around the ground like a rock down a mountain, or bounce freely from wall-to-wall with no injury or inconvenience to himself. This cannot be used at the same time as other frog-transformation based maneuvers.

A Rank:

River King Style • Takiyasha-Hime's Mighty Leap
A-rank Taijutsu Maneuver
By lowering his stance, and making up to five mighty leaps of any distance in succession, each leap will disturb the ground in increasingly severe ways. Landing directly and straight on solid ground can cause a miniature, localized earthquake in a 5m circle around him, doubling in radius with each jump. Landing at an angle on solid ground will create a solid wall of dirt/rock to jet up at an angle, effectively acting as a barrier with strength equal to Fuhen's [Strength+Speed/2] in a 5x5m square, doubling in size with each jump. Lastly, any landings on non-solid ground will cause a large 'smokescreen' type effect, mostly determined by the exact ground he has landed on, in a 5m circle around him, doubling in radius with each jump. These barriers are errected at a speed equal to 3/4's Fuhen's strength.

River King Style • Koppu's Hidden Agenda
A-rank Taijutsu Maneuver
Channeling the genes of a glass frog, Fuhen's body and hair will quickly become more and more pale, before finally making him completely invisible. This of course does not effect weaponry or clothing, and as such requires him to strip and discard any objects in order to remain truly unseen. Just as well, while this effects his visibility, it does not make him harder to sense in any of the other 5 senses. This cannot be used at the same time as similar frog-transformation based maneuvers.

River King Style • Keiteki's One Last Bite
A-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
An ultimate assassination technique, Fuhen will first take on the aspect of Keiteki, before rushing forwards at impossible speeds. Unhinging his jaw, he will immediately go to devour his target: Those with 10 less speed than him will perish immediately to the attack. Those with 7 less speed will likely lose a limb as they move out of the way. Those with 5 less speed will likely sustain severe injury as they barely pull out in time to avoid being devoured. Those with 4 less speed will usually escape with barely a scratch.

”Mugen Ittoryu” Style:

Infinite One-Sword
A customized style, utilizing potentially hundreds of swords all at the same time. Typically taking advantage of every part of the users body, users often are ambidextrous, and more often than not, omnidextrous. Mugen Itorryu is a style mainly focused on picking an area of the battlefield, and fully controlling it with great force. Mixing punches, kicks, and devastating sword swipes all together to keep the opponent on their toes at all times. Requires: Sword Weapons, Acrobatics, Deft Hands, and CQC concentrations.

D Rank:

Ittou Risan -- Blade Dispersal
The basic technique of Mugen Ittoryu, and one of the hardest to start to learn properly. The user takes pre-existing blades, often all retained within the specialized sheath of the Mugen Ittoryu, and quickly launches them into the air simultaneously. Using the proper throwing technique, all of the blades land directly into the ground, hilt facing up and sticking up at varying angles, with at least one landing directly in front of the user for quick use. Blades are typically located 1-5 feet from each other. The area that the blades cover in this starter technique is a ten meter radius.

Kotta -- Sword Claw
D-rank Kenjutsu Maneuver
Making use of two swords, one is stuck into the ground before the opponent, while the user uses the other to strike the first, causing it to strike outwards in an arc towards the opponent, before falling harmlessly back into the ground in more or less the same position. The blade strikes with a speed and strength equal to the user's strength.

Hilt-Stride
D-Ranked Kenjutsu Discipline
As the user of Mugen Ittoryu litters the entire battlefield with weaponry at their disposal, they also come to learn to use these blades not only as weapons but also as travel paths, a means of crossing the battlefield in unexpected ways and granting them the capacity to attack from unusual angles. With this technique, the user can use both their hands and their feet to walk or travel on the pommels of any weapon hilt currently on the battlefield in a reasonably upright position. They can run along them like jumping from rock to rock in a stream, pole-vault off of them to evade attacks traveling lower along the ground, and can even kick a blade from the ground mid-jump to quickly arm themselves, assuming they are standing on another sword pommel at that time.

Sharp Mind
D-Ranked Taijutsu Discipline
Prerequisite: 10 Willpower
After many intensive hours of focus training, the user has learned how to memorize a large amount of sensory information after being first exposed to it. Though the main application of this technique is to allow for the user to memorize both the initial positioning of their weapons around the battlefield and any changes in those locations, this technique also has more uses outside of combat, such as remembering certain people, characteristics, locations, etc.

Aerobatics
D-Ranked Taijutsu Discipline
Hefty bending exercises have lead the user to be able to contort, and otherwise control, their body while under abnormal situations. Namely being able to use momentum to better dodge mid-air, and allowing great feats of taijutsu that normally require ones feet planted firmly on the ground.

Sword-Point Balance
D-rank Taijutsu Discipline
With intensive training on finding ones core and inner stability, those with the Well-Balanced skill find it incredibly hard to fall by accident. Whether balancing on a high-wire, the tip of a weapon, being pushed over, or otherwise hard to balance situations, it will take much more than normal to knock them off their feet.

C Rank:

Toga -- Sword Fang
C-rank Kenjutsu Maneuver
Prerequisite: Blade Dispersal, Kotta -- Sword Claw
Using the basis provided by Kotta, and making use of four swords, three are stuck into the ground before the opponent, while the user uses the last blade to strike the first three simultaneously, causing them to strike outwards in an arc towards the opponent, before falling back down into the ground harmlessly in more or less the same position. The blades all strike with a speed and strength equal to the user's strength.

Suichoku no Narabi -- Vertical Line
C-rank Kenjutsu Maneuver
Prerequisite: Toga -- Sword Fang
Using Toga as a base, instead of letting the blades fall as in the initial technique, the user strikes the hilt of each blade at the apex of its strike causing the blades to shoot off in the direction of the opponent. The speed and strength of each blade is equal to the user's strength.

B Rank:

Omnidexterity
B-Ranked Taijutsu Discipline
Prerequisite: Ambidexterity
After intense training, the Mugen Ittoryu user has learned how to successfully wield weaponry using all parts of their body. Between their toes, the inside of the elbow or knee, or perhaps grasped firmly between their buttcheeks or teeth. This enables the acrobatic style of Mugen Ittoryu to be used to its fullest extent, even picking up blades with their feet as they stride across their swords.

Full Body Assault
B-Ranked Taijutsu Maneuver
Prerequisite: Ambidexterity, Omnidexterity
Primarily a technique used when the more traditional hit and run tactics of the Mugen Ittoryu technique don't seem to be working, this particular maneuver has the user standing relatively still aside from the obvious advances, the user will keep up an assault with their main hands, juggling the swords back and forth, and picking up more as they go (or from their sheath) with the ultimate goal to keep the enemy on the defensive. Provided the enemy is sufficiently distracted, one of the blades will find its way wielded on the inside of one of the users knees, wherein they will turn their entire body to aim the blade towards the opponents lower body. This sudden and powerful strike can be incredibly debilitating if it lands, often slicing clean through the large femoral artery, or destroying the opponents knee.

A-Rank:

Addition
A-Ranked Taijutsu Maneuver
The user takes hold of a sword and slashes the opponent before releasing the sword and taking hold of another sword to attack again. The user repeats this up to twelve times. The attack itself relies upon the high speeds of the individual attacks and the momentary stun inflicted by the previous blows, allowing the user to grab more of the surrounding swords and continue with the technique. With each strike the sword is left behind attached to the opponent, the user grabbing a hold onto another sword and striking before the blade can be removed from the flesh. At the end of the technique, all blades will 'roll' off of the opponent, leaving huge gashes all over their body as the swords thrust tip first into the ground once again. Each time the user strikes with a new blade, it is at a different angle, making the technique unpredictable and very difficult to to defend against unless the target has a Perception Technique of equal rank.

Zantou:

A style developed amongst blizzard country as a way of fighting back invaders even in the strongest of arctic gales, Zantou focuses on single-target dueling style techniques, with brutal and swift strikes designed to crush foes in single maneuvers, using its signature high-guarded stance and force-of-will based kiai shouts. Requires:Sword

D Rank:

Zantou • Flowing Cut
D-Rank Kenjutsu Discipline
Prerequisite: Zantou • Effect Focus
A simple sword technique, this allows the user to alter the direction of their blade mid-cut. This can be used to work around a block, or simply to act as a powerful feint and strike all in the same motion without stopping. Either way, this makes the user incredibly unpredictable in a fight.

Zantou • Planting Cut
D-Rank Kenjutsu Manuever
Prerequisite: Zantou • Effect Focus, Zantou • Flowing Cut
Before or during any slash the user performs they immediately grip the back of their hilt and execute a frontal thrust with a twist to the handle, angling it downward so that it pierces through the target downward; Once it has, it lodges the blade into the ground, pinning the target unless they can break free of the blade which, depending on placement of the blade, is difficult. This is often used as a lead up to an execution move, but is rarely deadly by itself.

C Rank:

Zantou • Breaking Cut
C-Rank Kenjutsu
Prerequisite: Zantou • Effect Focus
A powerful, destructive slash meant to be initiated in the middle of another attack the user shifts their grip suddenly from the hilt to the back of the sword and, with all of their might, they force whatever attack they had to turn into a focused cut on a selective area of the opponent; All of the tension and inertia of an attack is directed at a point on the opponent. This is all performed with a kiai, and acts as both a deflection move, as well acting to break the weapon of the opponent, or could also be used to slice through armor, or even sever a limb given proper placement.

Zantou • Fearsome Thrust
C-Rank Kenjutsu
Prerequisite: Zantou • Effect Focus
Usually thought of as an 'ending point' from other attacks, the user draws their blade back towards their core and lets forth their kiai shout as they thrust forward, giving them a momentary surge as they force their body into the thrust. This technique allows them a devastating amount of piercing force and allows users to puncture holes in tough armor, or through defending weapons to attack what lays behind.

Zantou • Kittens Yelp
C-Rank Kenjutsu Maneuver
Prerequisite: Must be under the effects of Zantou • Effect Focus
The first in the hallmark series of techniques to harness ones inner focus and push it out externally, Zantou • Kittens Yelp is a technique designed to instill fear in lesser opponents. So long as the users Willpower is greater than any targets Willpower, any who oppose the user within [Willpower+Strength]/2 in meters will find themselves stunned for a microsecond as the user lets out a mighty kiai yelp. Those with a weaker constitution may find themselves terrified, but warriors will often be mostly unphased. The primary use of this technique is to cause minor hesitation, or to put a block in someone's focus as they try to concentrate on maintaining a technique. This will cause channeled techniques (or techniques in the middle of being sealed) to be cancelled out if the effected targets [Endurance+Control]/2 is less than the users [Endurance+Strength+Willpower]/3.

B Rank:

Zantou • Effect Focus
B-Rank Kenjutsu Stance
Prerequisite: 15 Willpower
A technique requiring just as much mental focus as the ability to control one's body and a core technique of it's style, the user learns to plant their feet in unison while setting their shoulders and lifting their sword, drawing all of their thoughts away from anything but the opponent or target. This technique is meant to be complimented with drawn out breathing practice and meditation to create a state, temporarily, where the senses are narrowed towards a specific goal. This allows the user of the stance to ignore outside stimuli in a fight incredibly easily, focusing solely on the body movements of their opponent, aiding in predicting their moves based on muscle tensions. This also focuses the user to a point where things such as extreme heat or cold no longer bother them on a mental level, even while physically being burned or frozen.

Zantou • Pups Yipping
B-Ranked Kenjutsu Maneuver
Prerequisite: Must be under the effects of Zantou • Effect Focus
A more advanced form of pushing one's will onto their opponents, Zantou • Pups Yipping pushes disadvantage onto targets. By letting out their mighty kiai yelp, the Zantou user puts any foes within [Willpower+Strength]/2 in meters under the negative effects of Zantou • Effect Focus, giving them tunnel vision towards the user, narrowing their focus, and making them act with more reckless abandon towards the user. This also offers a debuff of -6 Speed towards the targets. Effectively acting as a taunt, the targets Willpower must be greater than the users Willpower in order to resist the effects. This effect may be maintained as long as the user continues their kiai at least once every two posts, but otherwise lasts a total of two posts.

Zantou • Tigers Growl
A-Ranked Kenjutsu Manuever
Prerequisite: Must be under the effects of Zantou • Effect Focus
Using the basis provided by Zantou • Kittens Yelp, Zantou • Tigers Growl takes it to the next level. By constantly letting out a low kiai, characterized as sounding much like a growl, the user attempts to prevent the casting of any jutsu in their presence. Those with a weaker constitution, such as untrained civilians, will often find themselves terrified in the presence of this technique, but warriors will mostly be unaffected. Those with Willpower less than or equal to the users Willpower will find themselves unable to mold chakra either through hand seals or channeling as long as they are within [endurance]x2 meters of the user. This lasts a single post but can be re-initiated every post.

Zantou • Weather the Storm
S-Ranked Kenjutsu Discipline
Those truly proficient and trained in the art of Zantou know that the strongest warriors must continue their fight, outlasting even the mighty biting winds of Blizzard country. To ensure this war of attrition ends in favor of the Zantou swordsman, they learn this technique to ensure their opponents always, eventually, fall before they do. Those with [Speed] less than the users [Speed] will find it impossible to completely dodge all blows from the user, always coming away with at least small cuts every time the user moves their blade towards them. Each small cut is rarely enough to end someone's life on its own, but they all build up to throw the battle of attrition in favor of the Zantou swordsman.

Zantou • Dragon's Roar
S-Ranked Kenjutsu Maneuver
One of the ultimate techniques for Zantou swordsmen, the user will let out a mighty kiai roar so loud it can be heard for miles. This roar will effect anyone within [Endurancex3] meters, and cause them to quiver in their boots, forcing their mind into fight or flight mode and ruining their concentration on any tasks at hand. Any trained foes caught in this zone will find their control debuffed by -10, while untrained civilians and noncombatants will simply find themselves completely frozen in fear. This debuff lasts for 5 posts.

Kushou:

Kushou-Ryu Soujutsu, or spear techniques, are a collection of Taijutsu techniques focussed around the use of polearms. The techniques can be used interchangeably for users of spears, staves, glaives and similar weapons. These techniques were developed by the military of the Holy City of Towers, rumoured to have been passed from the Holy Mother herself to the males of her land centuries ago. Those who wish to learn the secret techniques of the style must travel there and convince them to teach them. The style itself revolves around keeping the user’s weapon and body moving in order to manoeuvre around an opponent’s guard, or beat their way through it. Requires: [Polearm Weapons].

D-Rank:

* Kushou・Low Wind Rising
D-Ranked Taijutsu Stance
The foundational stance of the Kushou style, Low Wind Rising involves the spinning of the user’s spear or polearm around their body constantly whilst remaining in motion. While in this stance, the user will be able to deflect projectiles with less strength than their own, while also making unpredictable movements of their spear.

* Kushou・The Swallow Takes Flight
D-Ranked Taijutsu Maneuver
The user will vault themselves into the air using their polearm and then unleash a powerful blow from above. This technique is used to disorient and surprise foes as well as overpower them as it strikes with all of the user’s body weight and momentum from the spin they perform in the air in order to strike with the spear that was touching the ground moments before.

C-Rank:

* Kushou・Folding the Fan
C-Ranked Taijutsu Stance
Prerequisite: [Sword Weapons] concentration
A supplementary stance of the Kushou style, Folding the fan involves pulling back the user’s polarm and using only a portion of its length in order to engage briefly in shorter range with opponents. This sacrifices the user’s range advantage, but also allows them to more properly deal with those who get inside their range. This allows the use of a polearm weapon like a sword weapon.

* Kushou・Bundling Straw
C-Ranked Taijutsu Discipline
Prerequisite: 15 Willpower
This technique is a kind of mental preparation for the constant movement and spinning involved in the Kushou style. This enables the user to gather snippets of vision, sounds and tactile sensory information in order to be properly aware of the battlefield around them whether standing still or in rapid circular motion. The user is effectively aware of their surroundings within Willpower/3m of their person, able to recognize when attacks are coming and the body positions of opponents.

* Kushou・Twisting the Wind
C-Ranked Taijutsu Maneuver
Prerequisite: * Kushou・Low Wind Rising
This is the core technique of the Kushou Style. The user will begin in the Low Wind Rising stance and then approaches their opponent. They will begin with a wide arcing blow to begin this combination of blows. Following this they will spin their polearm and their body as they follow their opponent across the battlefield, chasing them down as they block and evade. This technique takes the user’s entire post, and can strike a number of times equal to half their speed. Those who block more than one blow will suffer a -3 to Strength for 3 posts as the weapon’s momentum and force jars their body.

B-Rank:

* Kushou・Watered Silk
B-Ranked Taijutsu Maneuver
The user of this technique will strike the ground with one end of their weapon hard, dragging it in a line. This will fling a cloud of dirt, rock and dust up into their opponent’s eyes as if the user had thrown it. The use of one end of their weapon in this enables the immediate return of the opposite end for a follow up strike at either a blinded opponent or an opponent that is quite predictably dodging the debris.

A-Rank:

* Kushou・Whirlwind on the Mountain
A-Ranked Taijutsu Maneuver
Prerquisite: * Kushou・Twisting the Wind
The user of this technique begins a relentless onslaught upon an opponent. They take a moment to prepare their legs before dashing forward. This technique is used to pursue opponents and wear them down with repeated spinning attacks. Opponents with a speed lower than the user’s will find it difficult to safely move away from the user while they pursue them. Those that block or are hit by two or more blows will have their Taijutsu reduced by 6 because of the jarring nature of the blows for 6 posts.

* Kushou・Kingfisher Circles the Pond
A-Ranked Taijutsu Maneuver
Prerequisite: 30 Speed
The user of this technique will take a moment to prepare themselves before dashing full speed around an opponent in order to strike them from behind. The strength of this technique comes from the extreme acceleration used in it, causing those with 5 less [Speed+Willpower/2] than the user’s speed to be unable to follow the user’s movement at all. The user will then make a powerful thrust at the opponent from their new position.

Flawless Aim Style:

*[Flawless Aim Style • Ricochet Shot]
C-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver

*[Flawless Aim Style • Hidden Shot]
C-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
By releasing two projectiles back to back the user attempts to create a decoy for the second. The first projectile is often larger or of equal size and the second is slightly behind and below it, usually attempting to hide in the first’s shadow. This masks the attack to some degree. However, perceptive opponents who have an Willpower greater than the user’s Speed may be able to see through the charade, provided they have means to do so.

*[Flawless Aim Style • Twisting Path]
C-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
By adding a spin to the weapon before it is launched the user is able to give the it a warping motion as it flies through the air.

Blur
B-Ranked Taijutsu Stance
The user has learned to move their entire body as they flow from stance to stance, never remaining still long enough for anyone to keep up mentally. With this stance, as long as the opponent doesn't have an equal ranked perception technique, then the users body seems to blur as they move, leaving behind solid looking afterimages, making it difficult to tell which one is the 'real' version of the user, meaning that hitting the right one, as well as blocking incoming strikes becomes much more difficult.
