Updated SwordShow
The Sword of the Yamabushi
This sacred Katana has been passed down through the Harukatsu family for generations. Named after an ancient monk tribe that forged the blade and utilized it to suppress spirits, this Katana has become an heirloom of fire country nobility. As the first descendant of the Harukatsu family to become a shinobi, this sword was presented to Yozei shortly after becoming a Chunin. The blade is 30 inches long with a 12-inch handle and stored in a deep red sheath adorned in ornate gold markings. Having harmonized with Yozei’s chakra the blades unique properties have become available to him to utilize. Both the Saya (Sheath) of the weapon and the blade itself have a unique effect.
Any Spirit that touches the Saya directly will find their will bound to the user for the course of the thread (up to A-Rank) Spirits. If this is a summoned spirit Yozei will take on the cost of the passive chakra drain, additionally, the original summoner may de-summon the spirit if their control stat is equal to or higher than Yozei’s. If Yozei is able to take command of a spirit he can banish them at will from the material plane. Spirits of a higher rank will simply feel their conviction falter and be less inclined to fight the wielder of this sword.
Any Spirit that directly touches the sword itself will be able to be harmed even if they don’t have a physical form (A-Rank and lower summons/spirits will be dispelled immediately). Higher rank spirits will feel excruciating pain from even a light touch and suffer wounds that are unable to be healed unless they return to their realm. Jinchurriki who are struck by the sword will have their form reduced by 1 each time they make contact with the sword and can not move up in form again for 3 posts afterward.
Beyond these two abilities, the sword and the sheath share a strong connection to one another. Both reflective of their connection to the owner of this weapon to retain a durability equivalent to Yozei’s Endurance stat as well as the blade and Saya sharing an innate connection, able to be fired away from each other in a linear fashion or recalled to the other, orienting itself to sheath itself back in the blade at will so long as Yozei is touching one or the other. The speed and Strength of the Saya or Blade moving away or toward its counterpart is equivalent to Yozei’s Control Stat. (110 Point Heirloom Weapon)

SankatonShow
*[Rust Bullet]
D-Ranked Sankaton Ninjutsu
After doing the needed hand seals, the ninja gathers Sankaton chakra in their mouth, creating a blob. After spitting it out, it grows to a .5x.5.x5 meter diameter ball that travels at [Control] Speed, up to 10 meters away, eroding anything it strikes with [Control] strength.
*[Annihilation: Introduction]
D-Ranked Sankaton Ninjutsu
Rather than using hand seals, the ninja is required to put their hands in a specific formation, as if gripping a basketball with each hand. As they do this, a .5x.5x.5m diameter film of pure Sankaton chakra is created in the space between their hands. The film can then be moved around and controlled within a 10m area of the user, weakening the strength of anything that passes through it by [Control] strength, and causing anything smaller than the film to completely disappear.
*[Annihilation: Rising Action]
D-Ranked Sankaton Ninjutsu
Rather than using hand seals, the ninja is required to put their hands in a specific formation, as if gripping a basketball with each hand. As they do this, a 1x1x1m diameter block of Sankaton chakra is created in the space between their hands. The block can be controlled and moved freely within 10m of the user. Whenever this ball comes in contact with any physical substance, it eats and corrodes the substance, instantly destroying whatever it hits, but only equal to the volume of the ball, where it hit, otherwise eroding it with [Control] Strength.
[Deadly Touch]
D-Ranked Sankaton Ninjutsu
The user will channel chakra, causing Sankaton to form around one of their hands. The next time their hand comes in contact with something, the Sankaton will spread through it, causing burns on contact, and eroding up to 0.5 meters of material with [Control] Strength. This jutsu can be risky as it's possible for the user to accidentally touch themselves with the Sankaton.
[Corrosion Clone]
C-Ranked Sankaton Ninjutsu
After performing the necessary hand seals, the user will create a clone out of their Sankaton chakra. This clone will have the users stats. It lasts for [Control/5] posts. Whenever it comes in contact with any type of weapon, attack, or person, it 'explodes' into a mass of Sankaton chakra, that attaches itself to and devours any metallic objects within the thin mist it creates. The mist covers a 5x5x5m area, but is widely distributed, which lessens the damage it does to organic material, only causing first degree burns to anyone who passes through it.
[Annihilation: Depth Charge]
C-Ranked Sankaton Ninjutsu
Rather than use a normal method of volume eating, this jutsu uses another method of Annihilation Sankaton chakra. Channelling chakra, the user coats a small weapon in Sankaton chakra. Whenever this projectile/piercing tip hits something, it immediately erodes the material in front of it, boring holes up to 1 meter in depth in front of the weapon, and eroding/weakening structures by [Control} Strength.
*[Defense at the Final Second]
C-Ranked Sankaton Ninjutsu
By doing a string of hand seals, the ninja creates a 15 inch diameter ball of Sankaton chakra too shoot up to 25m away from their body at [Control] speed. If this ball comes in contact with matter, it activates, corroding the object, instantly destroying whatever it hits, but only at an equal volume of the ball, taking up the same volume of the ball as well. Otherwise it erodes with [Control] Strength on contact.
*[Annihilation: Climax]
B-Ranked Sankaton Ninjutsu
Rather than using hand seals, the ninja is required to put their hands in a specific formation, as if gripping a basketball with each hand. As they do this, a 2x2x2m diameter ball of pure Sankaton chakra is created in the space between their hands. The ball can then be shot off at [Control] Speed up to 40m. Whenever this ball comes in contact with any physical substance, it eats and corrodes the substance, instantly destroying whatever it hits, but only equal to the volume of the ball, where it hit. Otherwise eroding with [Control] Strength.

[list]
[*][i]Face/head:[/i] The young man prefers to grow his hair to a mid-length, sporting a messy yet well-kept look. The coloration of his hair is brown at its base though there is a distinct red tone that in some lighting even takes on pink tinges. Generally speaking however it would be fair to consider his hair coloring close to that of a light russet or even bordering on auburn. His face is quite handsome, clear and very clean. Lastly his eyes are a light cerulean blue, more akin to his mother’s than his fathers though they too maintain quite the potential for striking crispness. Typically his eyes convey more a sense of serenity, intelligence and aloofness rather than intimidation or power.
[*][i]Body:[/i] Yozei is moderately tall, filling out into a lean and athletic disposition though lacking any true bulk with only some definition, particularly in his stomach. His skin is quite clear and unmarred, perhaps slightly on the pale side due to a tendency to spend much of his time studying indoors.
[*][i]Notable Features:[/i]Yozei’s most notable features would likely be either his radiant and silky hair or his vibrant eyes. Overall his appearance is one of a clean-cut, crisp looking attractive young man right down to his clear skin and porcelain white teeth.
[/list]
[color=orangered][b]Clothing/Accessories:[/b][/color] Yozei sports a variety of clothes and styles, preferring to alternate between several comfortable outfits. Having grown up in a royal household he is accustomed to keeping his clothing immaculate. Though he grew up wearing various formal outfits he had adopted a more casual look since moving to Konoha. Unless he is on a mission he will wear civilian clothes in the form of jeans and sweaters. When on mission he will typically wear a more durable pair of grey pants and a deep green t-shirt.

[color=orangered][b]Personality:[/b] [/color]
[list]
[*][i]General:[/i] Yozei is typically a very calm and collected individual. He enjoys strategics and out-thinking others as well as engaging in friendly banter and debates. Often he will be rather distant at first around new people as he still feels very much an outsider to the shinobi lifestyle, though as he warms up to new acquaintances he can prove to be quite kind and friendly, if not somewhat on the quiet side.
[*][i]Hopes/Dreams:[/i] More than anything Yozei strives to gain the respect of his comrades but not for his family heritage on either side. Instead he simply wishes to live up to his own potential for his own sake and to be recognized for that effort. That being said there is a part within him that wishes to regain the good graces of the Harukatsu and prove to his family that he is more than a bastard and that he and his mother deserve every bit of their respect. He too wishes to be seen in a good light by his father and receive praise and honor his name, even if he does feel that he would rather be allowed to keep the name of his birthright.
[*][i]Fears:[/i] He fears being judged before others have a chance to get to know him. Having lineage of Fire Countries royal family as well as the current Hokage he realizes that many will have high expectations of him and treat him differently than the others in some way or another because of it.
[*][i]Combat Mentality:[/i]When engaged in combat Yozei prefers to implement keen strategy and observation skills in order to gain the upper hand. When he does attack it is swift and efficient, sometimes implementing short bursts of overwhelming force or other times taking down a foe with subtly and precision. Whatever the attack method the young genin will attempt to conserve his chakra and make every move count.

Named after an ancient monk tribe that forged the blade and utilized it to suppress spirits, this Katana has become an heirloom of fire country nobility. As the first descendant of the Harukatsu family to become a shinobi, this sword was presented to Yozei shortly after becoming a Chunin. The blade is 30 inches long with a 12-inch handle and stored in a deep red sheath adorned in ornate gold markings. Having harmonized with Yozei’s chakra the blades unique properties have become available to him to utilize. Both the Saya (Sheath) of the weapon and the blade itself have a unique effect.
Any Spirit that touches the Saya directly will find their will bound to the user for the course of the thread (up to A-Rank) Spirits. If this is a summoned spirit Yozei will take on the cost of the passive chakra drain, additionally, the original summoner may de-summon the spirit if their control stat is equal to or higher than Yozei’s. If Yozei is able to take command of a spirit he can banish them at will from the material plane. Spirits of a higher rank will simply feel their conviction falter and be less inclined to fight the wielder of this sword.
Any Spirit that directly touches the sword itself will be able to be harmed even if they don’t have a physical form (A-Rank and lower summons/spirits will be dispelled immediately). Higher rank spirits will feel excruciating pain from even a light touch and suffer wounds that are unable to be healed unless they return to their realm. Jinchurriki who are struck by the sword will have their form reduced by 1 each time they make contact with the sword and can not move up in form again for 3 posts afterward.
Beyond these two abilities, the sword and the sheath share a strong connection to one another. Both reflective of their connection to the owner of this weapon to retain a durability equivalent to Yozei’s Endurance stat as well as the blade and Saya sharing an innate connection, able to be fired away from each other in a linear fashion or recalled to the other, orienting itself to sheath itself back in the blade at will so long as Yozei is touching one or the other. The speed and strength of both the Saya and the Blade moving away or toward its counterpart is equivalent to Yozei’s Control Stat. (110 Point Heirloom Weapon)

While hunting Spirits during the Sunagakure outbreak Yozei was unknowingly cursed by an ancient spirit, part of its chakra merging with his own and laying dormant within him for over a year. Either at will or whenever Yozei finds himself in a critical situation, suffering extreme injury, stress or emotional turmoil this chakra will consume him causing his skin to darken as his skin seems to crack, these lines glowing with the appearance of flames as his eyes too glow like flames. His chakra color will change to black with a red outline which undulates like flames. When entering this form Yozei loses 5 Endurance for the duration of the thread, not to be stacked if he was to enter the form more than once. This grants him Regeneration based on his control. Additionally, he will be able to manifest a long bladed chain composed of dense black chakra with the same red outer aura. This chain can manifest from either one of his arms, wrapping around his forearm and able to extend up to 25 meters in length. At the tip of the chain is a pointed blade 8 inches in length. The durability, Strength and Speed of this chain is equal to Yozei’s control, capable of manipulating the chain with his chakra. While in this form Yozei will lose access the the [Sword Weapons] Concentration and instead be able to utilize techniques requiring the [Chain Weapons] Concentration, able to perform taijutsu with this weapon while utilizing chakra to manipulate it. Yozei can remain in this form for a maximum of 8 posts after which there is a 2 post cooldown before he can enter it again. While in this form Yozei’s personality shifts, removing any sense of emotional attachment or empathy as his actions become more ruthless and detached in nature.

A character with this concentration is able to utilize Sankaton, and advanced form of Katon, and can make and use any custom or archived jutsu that require the Sankaton affinity. Sankaton has an [b]eroding[/b] effect.
[spoiler=Passive (Erosion)]Sankaton is an incorporeal element that comes in the form of a fine red haze, that exudes warmth, and has the ability to [b]erode[/b]. Anything physical that comes in contact with Sankaton is eaten by the energy, which consumes the Sankaton. This gives Sankaton incredibly powerful offensive and defensive capabilities. Sankaton jutsu are notoriously draining, and are known to push the user to the absolute limit. Sankaton jutsu are limited in size by their control prerequisite, which can make them difficult to use effectively. Sankaton is unaffected by energy based elements, and the two simply pass through them. This makes Sankaton's strength, and it's weakness non-matter based elements.[/spoiler][/quote]

[spoiler=History]
Yozei’s story begins as an outcast. A stone’s throw from living the life most commoners would dream of. His mother was Harukatsu Megami a proud woman of one of the royal lineages that govern Fire Country. Though he was fortunate to be allowed to grow up within the royal palace he was destined never to inherit the title of Daimyo that his grandfather would come to possess. The reason being that Yozei was deemed a bastard, born out of wedlock to an unknown father. For this he and his mother were looked down upon greatly by the rest of his family and yet kept close and under careful scrutiny and supervision so as to not spread word of this dishonor to the family name.
His entire life was spent within the shelter of their great estate. The boy was forbidden from appearing in public or straying far from his mother’s side. While he was treated kindly enough on the few occasions when family would visit there was always a subtle tenseness permeating the air, as if allowing themselves to care too strongly for him would somehow corrupt their own positions. As a young boy however Yozei hardly seemed to notice.
Though he wasn’t doted on by servants as most royals would be the boy was permitted a wide array of tutors and was expected to learn formal etiquette and be held to a high standard of aptitude. By the age of 8 he was well versed in arithmetic, literacy, art and strategy games. He was also instructed in falconry, archery and basic swordsmanship. It seemed he would grow into a fine young man, perhaps being allowed to marry into a lesser family one day and be given a small region to preside over.
His life was to take a sudden and unexpected turn however when his mother announced that he would be taking a trip with her. Not just any trip at that but one to meet his father. The thought filled the boy with excitement but also anxiety and fear. He had never travelled outside the estates large gardens and fields. Moreover on the few occasions he had asked about his father he had been told only that he was a man whom his mother had met in her travels. That he was a skilled warrior and a brave man but one not suitable for her hand in marriage.
Arriving in Konoha was like nothing Yozei could have imagined. The village contained an unmistakable presence of strength and wonder. Even entering the village in relative secrecy he saw more people than he had ever been exposed to before, men, women and children. Most of which armed. He had thought himself crazy when he had glimpsed some of them leap through the air and run up walls without any effort at all. In all his studies none had ever told him of the existence of shinobi or what possibilities existed in this world. Like any boy would, the thought that his father possessed some form of supernatural training and ability filled him with wonder. All of a sudden he imagined that same potential flowing throughout his body and he was torn. Was everything he knew until now about to be lost? Was his mother going to abandon him here? As much as he yearned to learn more about his father and what this place was the thought of parting from his mother and the safety of the palace terrified him.
When his mother strode into the lavish office of the Hokage, leader of these people of Konoha, Yozei clung to her as he first took in the sight of his father. The man was large and powerful. Dressed in his red and white robes it was hard to imagine what his mother had meant by him not being qualified to wed royal blood. It was evident he was a leader to these people and commanded great authority and respect. Though, the bearded leader did retain a sense of ruggedness, giving the impression of a leader chosen more for military experience and a warrior’s skill rather than a keen political mind. Perhaps that was the difference. At first he was afraid of the man, wary to be introduced to him, but the kindness in his eyes shone through and soon the boy found himself longing once more to get to know this man.
It was later that evening when his mother told him of the arrangement she had discussed with his father, the 17th Hokage, Natsuki Takeo. He was to stay in Konoha now, be trained as a shinobi and live with his father. Megami too would make Konoha her home now though would often be away on business, her position as liaison between Konoha and the royal family restored. Moreover Yozei would be granted a last name, the name of his father. For the first time he felt accepted and truly recognized, it was a great honor to be granted the name of Natsuki though in his heart the boy clung to the idea that the name of Harukatsu was his birthright. Often he would continue to think of himself as such and continued in his determination to be realized by his mother’s side of the family.
The first year living in Konoha became the most difficult year of his life. He was thrown into the academy a few days later, starting well over a month later than his classmates which already painted a picture of him as an outcast. The concept of chakra was completely foreign to him, combined with his unease being surrounded in a classroom setting and he quickly became overwhelmed and filled with anxiety. His mother insisted that he be homeschooled and given private tutors though the Hokage remained firm that he must learn to grow with the people of the village, that teamwork and comradery were essential aspects in becoming a leaf shinobi. And so he pressed on, taking extra lessons on the weekends from various tutors and on occasion his father.
Slowly Yozei began to develop in his understanding. His work ethic was among the most impressive of his class and he excelled in practical applications of intelligence. Equations, history, and tactics were easily absorbed and soon he began to understand and memorize the mechanics of chakra and its applications. His academic grades began to soar though even into his second year he was unable to use chakra, instead relying on his swordsmanship during spars.
Outside of the academy Yozei continued to feel out of place. Though he carried his father’s name he continued to consider himself a Harukatsu. Most of the time he resided with his mother though his father kept a room for him at his home in which Yozei stayed whenever his mother was out of town. Even in the household of his father however the boy kept to himself, rarely straying from his room. Takeo had his own family, two young children and a woman whom he loved living under the same roof. Nonetheless he valued the occasional one on one time he got with his father, developing a growing bond though remaining somewhat distant from his half-siblings Takeshi and Kaori as well as their mother Aina. However he didn’t feel out of place with everyone, Takeo’s sister, Yozei’s aunt, Ayame visited often and went out of her way to bond with the boy and tutor him personally as well as make sure he had time for fun and emotional support. There too was the Bannin Yoru, his uncle whom always treated him kindly, giving the boy another strong role model to look up to.
In his third year at the academy Yozei began to truly shine. His grasp on chakra finally clicked and soon he was developing quite a keen level of control, making good headway on learning the various basic jutsu. Finally the children at the academy began to take him seriously. Previously many had mocked him, others had tried to get close to him for shallow reasons but none had felt like true friends and comrades. By his fourth and final year Yozei had become one of the most popular kids in his class, his talent had skyrocketed to the top of the class. He had even learned how to harness Katon release jutsu, combining them with his swordsmanship to deadly efficiency. Kids flocked to him as it became clear that he possessed the talent of a Hokage’s child after all. Despite this newfound popularity and recognition Yozei didn’t let it go to his head. It all still felt rather superficial, he wouldn’t stop aspiring for success but more than that he simply longed for a genuine connection to people, to feel truly a part of the village and valued for himself as a person rather than his lineage. At the age of 13 Yozei graduated on schedule, becoming a Genin and a shinobi of Konoha. Where he would go from there only time would tell.[/spoiler]Payment: Buy 4 Stats (+4 Endurance) = 12 Points =30-12= 18 Points
