Abilities and Concentrations
| Abilities | |
|---|---|
| First Ability | Adaptive CamouflageShow A result of experimentation to make a more efficient hunting animal, Tsuyu's genetic structure was altered and combined with a great many things in order to create an apex predator capable of being unseen. She can turn invisible for a number of posts equal to her Stamina/3, after which she will return to the visible spectrum and must wait for a number of posts equal to half the time she was invisible before she can switch again. While invisible, Tsuyu's speed is limited by her Taijutsu and moving faster than that stat will cause the invisibility to break prematurely. |

Jutsu
NinjutsuShow
*[Basic Jutsu • Act of Tree Climbing]
D-Rank 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 stamina stat.
*[Basic Jutsu • Act of Water Surface Walking]
D-Rank 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 stamina stat.

Apex PredatorShow
Apex Predator:[Soft Paws]Tsuyu has been trained to be the ultimate silent stalker, capable of vanishing on a whim and making absolutely no noise as she tracks her prey. Combining her natural instincts and abilities with the chakra enriched nature of her being, Tsuyu's senses are all but unmatched.
Concentrations: Perception, Stealth, Close Quarters Combat, Acrobatics
D-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Tsuyu's light steps and padded paws make little sound when she is walking. This isn't a specific way of actively moving and more a natural by-product of her training, requiring little to no effort on her part to maintain it. Moving any faster than a walk while break the silence and advanced hearing technique can pick up on her footsteps even when walking.
[Bloodhound]
D-Rank Taijutsu Stance
After drawing blood and gaining the scent of the target, Tsuyu homes in on the scent and relentlessly pursues it through rain, dense woodlands, even rivers so long as it remains within 500m of his position. Tsuyu gains +3 speed at the cost of -3 instinct due to the single-minded nature of her pursuit. This lasts until the wound is healed or sufficiently covered and the blood is completely removed from the target.
[Silent Burial]
D-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
After successfully taking out a target, Tsuyu has been trained to move the body out of immediate vision in as quiet a manner as possible. Impossible to completely muffle the body, she knows how to move it in such a way that it reduces the noise it makes without reducing her speed to a complete crawl.
[Keen Nose]
D-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Tsuyu can remember every scent she has ever come across. Not effective in itself, it does allow her to more easily pick out scents she has come across before when applying her other techniques, reducing the time it takes to track down a particular scent.
[Play Dead]
C-Rank Taijutsu Stance
Tsuyu lays down and plays dead, slowing her heartbeat and breathing to the point where upon a basic initial inspection she actually appears as if she is dead. Tsuyu can only maintain this for a length of time equal to her Stamina/5 posts.
[Situational Awareness]
C-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Tsuyu has been trained to infiltrate enemy territory and take note of any and every detail; as she moves through an area she naturally identifies potential entry and exit points, the positions of other people and their general patterns of movement.
[A Shadow's Shadow]
C-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Prerequisite: Situational Awareness
When being followed by someone or something with a lower (Taijutsu+Instinct)/2 than Tsuyu's and not employing technique to hide their movement, she can get a sense that she is being followed. This doesn't tell her exactly where they are, just a general feeling of being followed and a rough direction of their possible position; above, behind, ahead, etc.
[Focussed Scenting]
C-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Tsuyu has trained her sense of smell to be able to filter through the numerous every day scents to home in on a specific trail.
[Focussed Hearing]
C-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Tsuyu has trained to filter certain sounds, able to home in on more specific frequencies even while other, louder sounds are competing for her attention.
[Ninja Training]
B-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Tsuyu has been trained to use every part of her body to overcome obstacles that would normally be an issue for a four-legged beast. Balancing on her hind legs, using her teeth to swing, and in general being fairly nimble, Tsuyu can climb walls as long as it isn't completely sheer, open doors as long as they aren't locked, contort her way through spaces she wouldn't normally be able to fit through, etc.
[A Predator Approaches]
B-Rank Taijutsu Manoeuvre
Tsuyu has been trained to throw her growl up to 10 meters. She can bark or growl in such a manner that it sounds as though it is coming from a direction she chooses within that range. Advanced hearing techniques equal to or higher than the rank of this technique can discern the true source of the noise.
[Stalker's Step]
B-Rank Taijutsu Stance
Tsuyu's padded paws make very little noise as she moves while in this stance, regardless of whether she is walking or running. Enhanced hearing techniques that equal or beat the rank of this technique can pick up her movements, however.
[One With Nature]
B-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Tsuyu moves in such a manner that she leaves very little to no natural trail to follow. Light steps, gravitation towards highly trafficked areas or harder surfaces, and as little interaction with the environment as possible are all portions of this mindset. The result is a permanently cold trail, regardless of the terrain type. It would take a very skilled tracker using a technique with equal or higher rank than this to follow Tsuyu.
[Heartbeat Monitor]
A-Rank Taijutsu Manoeuvre
Tsuyu stops moving and slows her own heartbeat while extending her sense of hearing, allowing her to pick up the faint sound of heartbeats within a 50-meter radius. This technique requires Tsuyu to be completely still in order to drown out the sound of her own heartbeat and thus cannot move while she is using it.
[Tremorsense]
A-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Combing her acute hearing and sense of touch, Tsuyu can feel any vibrations that are moving through the ground within a 25-meter radius. Things that aren't moving or have the capacity to move without disturbing the ground are missed by this sense.
[Apex Predator]
S-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Tsuyu's senses of sight, hearing, scent, taste, and touch are so far beyond normal ranges that they could be considered supernatural. She can track a scent easily over 2 miles under even the worst conditions and has a keen enough nose to be able to pick out what should be an odourless, colourless poison from a glass of water. Her sense of touch is so keen she can feel the movement of things around her through the vibrations they make and can locate the precise point a pin drops in a factory from the sound alone.
History Tsuyu is the result of Kazuo wishing to broaden his pool of options when hunting down prey. Asking for assistance from the scientists of Iwa, they created Tsuyu. All the predator instincts of a wolf with the training of a ninken and the chakra-fuelled ability to turn completely invisible, fuelled by a combination of frog, chameleon, and many other creatures' genes. Kazuo spent months working with the wolf in order to train her into a decent military animal, after which was another two years before she was capable of using her unique genetic ability on her own without assistance from Kazuo. The result was a bond that near matched Kazuo and Koji, making the three a well-oiled machine capable of hunting down even the most elusive of prey.
