Jutsu TrainedShow

NaraShow

[b]Shadow Key[/b]
D-ranked Ninjutsu
Rather than relying on hand seals the user will channel chakra into a nearby shadow, causing it to crawl into his hand at a Speed of 10. This shadow can then be inserted into the keyhole of any lock, allowing the user to shape the chakra to that of the key which would unlock it. The user will then solidify the shadow with a Strength of 5 before turning it as if turning a key. This shadow key will remain apparent for up to 3 posts before dissipating without any additional supply of chakra.

[b]Shadow Skin[/b]
A-ranked Ninjutsu
Prerequisites: 34 Ninjutsu, 34 Control
Rather than relying on hand seals the user will channel chakra into the shadows naturally created under his clothing and solidify them at a Speed of 28. These shadows will retain a defensive Strength of 40 and will remain apparent for up to 6 posts before dissipating without any additional supply of chakra.

[b]Shingetsu[/b]
S-ranked Ninjutsu
Prerequisites: 45 Ninjutsu, 50 Control, [b]Advanced Shadow Imitation[/b], [b]Shadow Zone[/b]
Rather than relying on hand seals the user will channel chakra and expand his shadow at a Speed of 40 in every direction up to a distance equal to his Shadow Control range, attempting to connect it to any opponent's shadow within that range. If contact is made the user and all opponents will be linked together in movement so that everything the user does is mimicked by the targets. If multiple opponents are caught within the technique's radius their stats are not added together to combat the Strength required to break free, instead they must attempt to overpower the shadows independently. A Strength of 50 is required to break the hold between this technique and their own shadow, though if they remain within the technique's radius their movement is hindered drastically. The user may maintain this field of effect for up to 5 posts, even while moving, before additional chakra is required.

[color=#5C5C5C][b]Kōnton • Shadow Fog Mantle[/b][/color]
B-rank Ninjutsu
Prerequisites: [b]Hokage's Mantle[/b]
After cloaking himself in shadows the user will complete an additional string of hand seals, imbuing the Mantle with Fuuton chakra. A cloud of tangible smoke-like particles will surround the user up to 1 meter at a Speed of 5 and Strength of 35, greatly obscuring his form below the neck while maintaining the Mantle's defensive qualities. These smoke-like particles will not disperse as the user moves and are particularly useful for protecting the user from concussive blasts and explosions due to the Fuuton chakra acting as a natural cushion. These smoke-like particles will remain apparent for the remaining usage of the Hokage's Mantle or until actively disabled by the user.

B-ranked Nintaijutsu
Prerequisites: [b]Hokage's Mantle[/b], 45 Control
Once enveloped in the Hokage's Mantle, Tousha is able to augment his physical strength by channeling his chakra through its shadows. After casting this jutsu, Tousha can turn the defensive Strength of the Mantle into acceleration as each step he makes is extended by an extra inch with the Mantle performing a second stride with 50 strength. This jutsu lasts for 10 posts and can be deactivated at will, allowing the Mantle to revert back to its defensive Strength.

[b]Shadow Volley[/b]
B-ranked Nintaijutsu
Prerequisites: [b]Hokage's Mantle[/b], 45 Control
Once enveloped in the Hokage's Mantle, Tousha is able to augment his physical strength by channeling his chakra through its shadows. After casting this jutsu, Tousha can turn the defensive Strength of the Mantle into offensive Strength as each throw he makes is extended by an extra inch with the Mantle performing a second throw with 50 strength. This jutsu lasts for 10 posts and can be deactivated at will, allowing the Mantle to revert back to its defensive Strength.

[b]Shadow Stroke[/b]
B-ranked Nintaijutsu
Once enveloped in the Hokage's Mantle, Tousha is able to augment his physical strength by channeling his chakra through its shadows. After casting this jutsu, Tousha can turn the defensive Strength of the Mantle into offensive Strength as each stroke he makes is extended by an extra inch with the Mantle performing a second stroke with 50 strength. This jutsu lasts for 10 posts and can be deactivated at will, allowing the Mantle to revert back to its defensive Strength.

For all three of your Nintaijutsu, it's gonna be a no go as defensive cloaks don't particularly work that way.

[Toshi]

Is there a rule for that? Because during registration Niro helped me with this technique, which was accepted.

Shadow Force
B-ranked Nintaijutsu
Prerequisites: Hokage's Mantle, 45 Control
Once enveloped in the Hokage's Mantle, Tousha is able to augment his physical strength by channeling his chakra through its shadows. After casting this jutsu, Tousha can turn the defensive Strength of the Mantle into offensive Strength as each strike he makes is extended by an extra inch with the Mantle performing a second strike with 50 strength. This jutsu lasts for 10 posts and can be deactivated at will, allowing the Mantle to revert back to its defensive Strength.

Don't see why cloaks can't work like this as long as that defensive power is diverted and not compounded into Strength.

[WrightJustice]

They read as if they are trying to bend stat boosting rules to me, like you suddenly have 50 strength from any strength instead of a specific boost in strength.

Your original Shadow Force jutsu reads more like the shadow does extra damage rather than boost strength since it reads like the shadow reaches out and strikes again, though I would personally still have it nerfed since it is only a B-Rank jutsu but somehow doing 50 strength worth of damage.

[Toshi]

The number is 50 because it's layering on top of an S-rank Ninjutsu that already offers 50 defense, the B-rank technique is just diverting that number into something else. So it's not a B-rank, it's an S-rank AND a B-rank.

But I can definitely see the confusion with the wording. What if I worded it in a way that lends to the shadow causing the increase in strength and not make it sound like Tousha is getting stronger himself? Which is definitely not what I'm intending with any of these Nintaijutsu,

[Niro]

You have to word it in the way the shadow is doing the attack/striking, not Tousha.

[Toshi]

Edited, I just used the same wording you helped me write out with the shadow punchy jutsu there, Niro. Appreciate you guys working with me here.

[ShinobiTruth]

Based on the changes that were requested by staff, this seems to be in good order.
