Aura ControlShow *[Sensory Style • Beyond Senses] C-Rank Ninjutsu Prerequisites: 10 Control This sensor jutsu is used by shinobi to feel chakra sources within a radius of 35 meters. While this jutsu is fairly helpful in sensing chakra, it is unable to actually pinpoint specific chakras outside of a 10m radius. This only gives the Shinobi an idea of how many entities with chakra are present in their general area. *[Sensory Style • Broad Sense] B-Rank Ninjutsu Prerequisites: *[Sensory Style • Beyond Senses], 20 Control This jutsu is an extension of [Beyond Senses]. With this jutsu initiated, a sensor can focus on individual chakra signatures to get a precise idea of where their opponents are at up to 25 meters. A general sense of the direction and number of chakra sources can be determined at up to 75 meters away. It should be noted that this jutsu requires intense concentration, often making the user shut their eyes so they can focus on the jutsu solely. Even with high levels of Chakra Control, this jutsu can be mentally taxing as it requires the user to sort through the individual chakra sources in the sensor’s range. *[Sensory Style • Augmented Sense] A-Rank Ninjutsu Prerequisites: *[Sensory Style • Broad Sense], 30 Control This jutsu is an even further extension of [Broad Sense]. With this jutsu, a sensor sacrifices quality for quantity. They can view to much greater distances compared to a normal sensor, but their ability to differentiate between people starts to become muddled, meaning multiple people in close proximity will appear simply as a large chakra mass, without the users being able to distinguish how many people are there. By sitting down and meditating, they are able to start to sense further and further away. For each post of meditating, they are able to see 500 meters out, up to a max of posts equal to 1/2 their control (rounded up). *[Sensory Style • Perfected Senses] S-Rank Ninjutsu Prerequisites: *[Sensory Style • Augmented Sense], 40 Control As an extension of Augmented Senses, the ninja is able to increase the range and power of their sensor jutsu. The ninja is able to view very great distances at not as much of a build up. They are able to pinpoint precise chakra locations at ranges of up to 75 meters away, while getting a general sense of directions and number of chakra sources of up to 300 meters away. It should be noted that this jutsu requires intense concentration, often making the user shut their eyes so they can focus on this jutsu solely. Even with high levels of Chakra Control, this jutsu can be mentally taxing as it requires the user to sort through individual chakra sources in the sensor's range. |
History
Historical AccountsShow
Shikatsuko was born into the Nara clan in the final month before the new year. She was the first born of three, and her parents loved her very much. They brought her up the best they could, trying to help her through her first few years of life. They succeeded not only in helping her grow to desire to be a ninja, but also nourished her mind into one of brilliance. Part of this was due to Nara genes, but there was something special about her. She was not only smarter than most of her peers, she was also smarter than most of the Nara children of her age, including her siblings. When she entered the academy this became increasingly evident. Even with all her gifts, however, Shikatsuko had developed a work ethic that could only be described as selective laziness. She was more than capable of, and would more often than not, study hard to develop her skills, but when it came to things like the study of genjutsu and training her physical strength she could have cared less. Her teachers tried to encourage her to work on the subjects, telling her that they would become a weakness that could be taken advantage of, but she did not heed their words. She graduated from the academy at the age of twelve with the rest of her class, mostly because her selective laziness had held her back from meeting her true potential. Upon graduating she was placed in a team with two of her classmates, and instantly hated her team. They were both boys, as was her sensei, and they were both idiots. They were immature, irresponsible, and just annoying. She spent more time rolling her eyes when around them than she did doing almost anything else, and in all truth did not grow much with them. At least from her perspective. Being around them and having to keep her temper in check did help a little bit, but by the time they were ready to take the exams, Shikatsuko was done with them. She requested that they move on without her and that she be placed on another team with one of her clan mates. The goof balls ended up passing their exam, infuriating the girl further, but she said nothing about it. She was placed on another team, this time, once again, with newly graduated genin. She felt that she could have done better, but was willing to put up with the lack of skill in exchange for the lack of stupidity. She was partnered up with one of her cousins and another ninja, and was assigned to a new sensei. The group went on doing missions and training together for two years, all the time preparing for the chuunin exams. Only weeks before her exams began, Shikatsuko found herself in the Nara forest, simply looking for a place to think. It was then that she discovered a cabin, hidden away within the depth of the vast place. Curiosity struck, and she approached the place, only to then discover that it was the home of none other than the Hokage himself. Of course, she did not know his face right away, since she had always though the assemblies the village had were boring and useless, and it was not until after Sin, the Kage's adopted daughter, barged in and revealed his identity that Shikatsuko realized who he really was. Whether by chance or by fate, the Kage then accepted Shikatsuko as his apprentice, sharing with her some of the secrets he had unlocked along his travels, mostly involving the manipulation of shadows. Finally growing impatient, and wanting to please her sensei and Kage, the teen decided to attempt the exams with a young girl that she met while playing chess. They were matched up against a chuunin whose physical prowess exceeded that of either of the genin, but in the end they were able to successfully impress the chuunin, allowing them to proceed to the rank of chuunin. Shikatsuko has begun to grow up and mature since her exam. It has only been a year, but already she is beginning to shed some of her old habits. She still pranks sometimes, and wears the same clothes, but slowly, as time goes by, she is changing.

Shikatsuko grew up and matured a lot since her exam. She has gone on missions and done some amazing things. She is now a training psychologist, working with shinobi young and old to process the horrors of war. This came about following the village invasion when two missing ninja raided the village. In the aftermath, she was promoted to Special Jounin. The following nine years were filled with many various adventures. She fought in the Great War, made some friends, made some enemies, heard rumors of things she plans to pursue, and took an extended sabbatical to rest, recover, and train. There are more scars on her soul than she would like to admit, but her resolve has never been stronger. |
