Fortitude
S-Rank Taijutsu Stance
As someone familiar with torture and interrogation, Kotaru has trained himself to resist such things should he ever be on the receiving end. He has trained to fortify his mind and body against the horrors of torture and interrogation through rigorous training over the years. He has trained himself to be able to resist all manners of physical and mental prodding, pain and anguish and instead channel the suffering inflicted upon him into increasing his will to resist. In order to achieve this stance, Kotaru must sit still for a post while he focuses on what is to come. This technique can last for a maximum of 10 posts.

I'm not sure if this can be considered a [Stealth] technique.

[Kao]

Um ok I guess I can take it out of that style? So I’m literally just going to put it at the top.

[Ace Trainer]

Sorry if that was unclear, by saying I don't think it can be considered [Stealth] I mean it doesn't seem like an appropriate use of the concentration, meaning it needs to be listed under a different concentration.

[Kao]

I don’t know what other conc you expect me to use it with so I’m just going to remove it.

[Niro]

After talking it over again, the previous jutsu is ok underneath the [Steath] conc

[Kao]

Ok I put the jutsu back and updated the payment

[spoiler=Katon]
[color=orangered][b]Katon • Match Stick[/b][/color]
E-Ranked Ninjutsu
After performing two quick handseals, Kotaru flicks his thumb and any one of his other fingers. This results in a very small flame igniting on the tip of his finger. The flame is enough to light a small fire, such as lighting firewood. The justu lasts for up to two posts.

[b][color=orangered]Wisp[/color][/b]
E-Ranked Ninjutsu
After performing the needed seals, Kotaru creates up to five, wispy teardrop shaped balls of flames five inches in diameters. The flames produce no heat and are incapable of inflicting burns. The balls float within three feet of his position and up to a foot above his height and cannot move outside of this area. The fireballs move with him but are otherwise immobile and once created Kotaru cannot control their movement or position. Due to the low chakra cost of this technique, Kotaru can maintain this for x number of posts where x equals Chakra Pool/2.

D-Ranked Ninjutsu
Prerequisite: Basic Formation: Melashiin
By channeling chakra into his shiin, Kotaru coats his melashiin in katon chakra, which covers the entirety of the tendrils in flames that add a one foot diameter of katon chakra to each tendril, and extends one foot from the tip of the tendrils. 

[color=orangered][b]Bursting Katon Pellet[/b][/color]
D-Ranked Ninjutsu
After performing the needed seals, Kotaru extends his pointer finger and a small ball of katon chakra roughly 3 inches in diameter will form at the end of it. The chakra can be launched at a speed and strength equal to his control, and can travel up to 10 meters. The chakra will burst on contact and erupt into a ball of flames 1 meter in diameter.

[b][color=orangered]Twin Spirals[/color][/b]
C-Ranked Ninjutsu
After performing the needed hand seals, Kotaru clenches his hands into claws and holds them in front of his body. A swirling jet of flames will erupt from each hand and move in a spiral pattern with a diameter of up 15 meters. This justu lasts up to three posts.

[color=orangered][b]Spike[/b][/color]
C-Ranked Ninjutsu
After performing the needed seals, a three foot long spike shaped mass of katon forms in Kotaru's hand. Within the next 2 posts, he is able to throw the spike toward a target. Once the the spike hits the target it explodes with the strength of a C-ranked explosion.

[b][color=orangered]Flaming Arc[/color][/b]
C-Ranked Ninjutsu
After forming the needed seals, Kotaru coats his melashiin in katon chakra. Within the next 3 posts, if he swings the melashiin the motion launches the katon in an arc shape that is the same length of his melashiin toward the target at speed equal to his strength.

[b][color=orangered]Firewall[/color][/b]
C-Ranked Ninjutsu
After performing the needed hand seals, Kotaru creates a wall of flames within 15 meters of his position. Due to his superb chakra control, he can create a wall between 5 and 10 meters in length and height. The wall of flames is a meter thick and it lasts 4 posts before fading.

[color=orangered][b]Hell’s Geysers[/b][/color]
B-Ranked Ninjutsu
After performing the needed seals, Kotaru floods the ground beneath his feet with katon chakra and it will spread around him in a 35 meter radius. If anyone but the user enters the area, up to 10 columns of flames with a 3 meter diameter and a height of 5 meters will shoot from the ground from beneath the target. Kotaru is unable to control when the flaming columns erupt once the jutsu is in place. The jutsu lasts 5 posts.

[color=orangered][b]Devil’s Geysers[/b][/color]
B-Ranked Ninjutsu
After performing the needed seals, Kotaru extends two fingers and a ball of katon chakra roughly 9 inches in diameters will form at the end of them. The chakra can then be launched at a speed equal to his control. On contact, the katon will erupt around the target into a pillar 10 meters tall with a 5 meter diameter. The pillar will burn for two posts before fading.

[color=orangered][b]*Katon • Izanagi's Spear[/b][/color]
[i]A-Rank Ninjutsu[/i]
After performing the correct hand seals the user will form a condensed 5cm diameter, 3 meter long spear of fire in their hand then throw it at an opponent. At any time during the course of the spear's travel, the user may use Chakra Kai to activate the spear. This causes the spear to rapidly unwind and expand into a 10 meter long, 7 meter diameter whirlwind of fire at a speed of [Control]. On impact, the spear will then explode with [Control] strength.

[color=orangered][b]*Katon • Flame Armor[/b][/color]
[i]A-Rank Ninjutsu[/i]
After the needed hand seals, the user will release katon outward from their body rapidly as the fire twists around them. This fire forms a 3-inch layer of flames around their body that manifests at [Control] speed, and essentially provide a pseudo-defense against taijutsu for the next five posts. If anyone comes into contact with the armor, they will receive burns and incoming attacks will be repelled with [Control] strength.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Ninpou][b][color=#328ED6]Deafen[/b][/color]
D-Ranked Ninjutsu
Kotaru channels chakra to his ears, which will render him deaf until he dispels the jutsu. It can be held as long as he has chakra, but once it is dispelled it has a cool down of 2 posts before it can be used again.

[b][color=#328ED6]Bursting Finger Pellet[/color][/b]
D-Ranked Ninjutsu
After forming the needed seals, Kotaru extends his pointer finger and a small ball of chakra roughly 2 inches in diameter will form at the end of it. The chakra can be launched at a speed equal to his control, and can travel up to 10 meters. The chakra will burst on contact, and the sound will cause discomfort in the ears for 2 posts.

C-Ranked Ninjutsu
After performing the needed hand seals, Kotaru will cause a barrier to erect around him. With him as the center, the barrier has a dome shape and has a diameter of 7 meters and is 7 meters tall at its highest point. It lasts up to 4 posts.

[b][color=#328ED6]*[Ninjutsu • Spiritualism Technique][/color][/b]
C-Ranked Ninjutsu
The base technique for summoning, the Spiritualism Technique allows users to bring forth their summons to fight on their behalf. Once an agreement has been made between the user and their summon, they will be able to use this technique to call upon it at any time unless stated otherwise. The chakra used for this technique varies, as it is dependent on the size and rank of what is being summoned. Once it has been summoned, the initial cost of the summon is equivalent to its rank. It is paid upon being summoned and then the same cost is paid as often as follows:
D-Rank: Free to maintain once summoned.
C-rank: 10 posts
B-rank: 9 Posts
A-rank: 7 Posts
S-rank: 5 posts

[b][color=#328ED6]Burst[/b][/color]
C-Ranked Ninjutsu
After performing the needed hand seals, Kotaru a creates large sphere of chakra roughly half a meter in diameter. This sphere can potentially be launched at up to [Control] speed and hit with [Control] strength, or be detonated with kai. Upon impact or detonation the sphere will burst, exploding and causing a damage area only 2x2x2 meters. The resulting explosion will sound like a chorus of small explosions, able to be heard up to [Control]x3 meters away.

[spoiler=Iijutsu][b][color=#008b5e]*[Iijutsu • Bandage Technique][/color][/b]
D-Ranked Ninjutsu
Prerequisite: *[Iijutsu • Sterilization Technique]
A simple yet vital medical technique, the *[Iijutsu • Bandage Technique] provides its users with the ability to create makeshift bandages out of any suitable material they desire. After channeling chakra into an object (such as a leaf, piece of cloth, etc.), the user is able to apply it to the wound of a patient. Once applied, the selected object will adhere to the flesh around the wound, protecting it from bacteria and other harmful foreign bodies. Objects used for the bandage technique are automatically sterilized in the process. These bandages drain a minuscule amount of chakra from the person it is attatched to in order to keep them stuck on, theoretically, ad-infinitum, and can be cancelled at any time by the user with a single handseal. While not as effective at stopping bleeding as the [Iijutsu • Chakra Stitching] technique, they hold on much better in the case that strenuous movement is necessary.

[b][color=#008b5e]*[Iijutsu • Sterilization Technique][/color][/b]
D-Ranked Ninjutsu
As sanitation cannot always be guaranteed in field operations, this technique provides a quick substitute to traditional sterilization methods. After focusing chakra into his/her hands, the user will channel the chakra throughout his/her upper body (torso, arms, hands, face). This chakra will chew away at harmful bacteria and other foreign bodies on the skin, cleansing it until it is thoroughly sterile, and can be spread to objects, most commonly surgical tools. Of course, this takes both concentration and time, and in order to sterilize the entire upper body, it will take a duration of one (1) post. Users of this technique can also choose to sterilize certain parts of their upper body or the wounds of another person instead for a lesser concentration period. Once they are sanitized, they remain this way until coming in contact with more bacteria.

[b][color=#008b5e]*[Iijutsu • Blood Clot Technique][/color][/b]
D-Ranked Ninjutsu
This highly useful field technique is applied to bleeding wounds to help encourage the coagulation of the blood. After focusing chakra into his/her hands, the user will hover them over the bleeding wound and begin to channel chakra through it. The chakra will began to thicken the blood, causing it to clot. Wounds must be dealt with one at a time, and the number of wounds that can be tended to within the three (3) posts that this technique lasts depends on their size. Small wounds take very little time to clot, while moderate wounds take one (1) post of concentration to clot, and large wounds take two (2) posts to clot. Although this technique stops the bleeding, the wound remains vulnerable and will require further care after this has been performed.

[b][color=#008b5e]*[Iijutsu • Burn Ointment Technique][/color][/b]
D-Ranked Ninjutsu
A relatively simple and handy technique to have at hand, [i]*[color=#008b5e][Iijutsu • Burn Ointment Technique][/color][/i] is used to alleviate pain caused by burn wounds. After focusing chakra into his/her hands, the user will hover them above the burn wound. As the chakra is channeled into and around the burn, it cools the area and works to prevent harmful, scar-producing blistering in the affected area. To provide this soothing relief to small areas of first degree burns, it's fairly quick to do. For small areas of second degree burns, it takes one (1) post of concentration to achieve the same effects. This technique is ineffective when applied to larger areas or burns worse than second degree.

[b][color=#008b5e]*[Iijutsu • Chakra Stitching][/color][/b]
D-Ranked Ninjutsu
When traditional stitching supplies aren't available, *[Iijutsu • Chakra Stitching] truly shines. After performing a short set of handseals, the user will gently place his/her index finger at the base of the patient's wound. Once this is done, the user will lift his/her finger and touch it to the other side of the wound, causing a visible 'stitch' of chakra to appear. This is repeated until the wound has been pulled together. Although precision is key, this technique can still be performed relatively quickly. Small to moderate wounds take very little time to stitch, while large wounds will take one (1) post of work to mend. This technique drains a minuscule amount of chakra from the person it is attached to in order to keep the stitches going, theoretically, ad-infinitum, and can be cancelled at any time by the user with a single handseal. Any intensive or strenuous movements will cause the stitches to break.

[b][color=#008b5e]*[Iijutsu • Medical Diagnosis Technique][/color][/b]
C-Ranked Ninjutsu
[b]Prerequisite:[/b] 5 Iijutsu
Perhaps one of the most important Iijutsu techniques to date, the [i]*[color=#008b5e][Iijutsu • Medical Diagnosis Technique][/color][/i] allows its users to probe another's body in search for medical answers. After focusing chakra into his/her hands, the user will begin to channel it into the patient's body. Using this chakra as an internal extension of his/her hand to feel for abnormalities and other issues, the user is often able to determine the problem after some time and concentration. In order for a thorough examination to provide sufficient answers, the user will focus for up to one (1) post, seeking signs of internal and external damage, organ malfunction and disease among other ailments. Although skilled medical-nin have the possibility to work faster, skill cannot be substituted in for thoroughness.

[b][color=#008b5e]*[Iijutsu • Skin Generation][/color][/b]
C-Ranked Ninjutsu
Often utilized by medical-nin to heal small, superficial wounds or for producing excess skin to use in skin grafts, the [i]*[color=#008b5e][Iijutsu • Skin Generation][/color][/i] technique has its number of uses. After focusing chakra into his/her hands, the user will channel it into a small area of skin cells on the patient's body. This chakra will force the skin cells to multiply at an ample rate by confusing this area of the body into its reconstruction stage that is achieved during slumber. As this is a type of regeneration, users must keep in mind that each cell draws from nutrients in the patient's body, and as such, too much can cause serious harm. In order to regenerate medium-sized areas of superficial wounds, it takes one (1) post of concentration. Areas smaller than this take considerably less time. In the case that the skin sample is separate from the body, the cells can be multiplied more quickly than they could be otherwise. These types of samples are generally use for skin grafts. The [i]*[color=#008b5e][Iijutsu • Skin Generation][/color][/i] technique can be held for four (4) posts.

[color=#CC00FF][b]~Basic Regeneration[/b][/color]
C-Ranked Iijutsu
Prerequisite: Iijutsu Concentration
While still part of the body, each and every shiin has remarkable regeneration rates. Normally not enough to fully recover in battle, with rest, a shiin is able to recover itself in a few days, even if the manifested organ has been sliced to pieces, as long as the base organ remains in tact, taking chakra from the Akari, forcing them to rest longer than a normal ninja.

[color=#CC00FF][b]Strengthen[/b][/color]
C-Ranked Iijutsu
Type: Melashiin
After channeling chakra into his melashiin sac, Kotaru enhances the cellular replication of the shiin. This strengthens the shiin by thickening the tendrils, giving them +6 strength. However, the process makes the shiin stiffer and less flexible, which reduces the speed at which they can move by -6. This effect lasts 4 posts.

[b][color=#008b5e]*[Iijutsu • Burn Heal][/color][/b]
B-Ranked Ninjutsu
[b]Prerequisite:[/b] [i]*[color=#008b5e][Iijutsu • Burn Treatment][/color][/i]
Yet another step up in the ability to treat burns, [i]*[color=#008b5e][Iijutsu • Burn Heal][/color][/i] is used to alleviate pain caused by burn wounds. After focusing chakra into his/her hands, the user will hover them above the burn wound. As the chakra is channeled into and around the burn, it cools the area and works to prevent harmful, scar-producing blistering in the affected area. To provide this soothing relief to large-sized areas of first degree and second degree burns it's fairly quick to do. For medium-sized areas of third degree burns, it takes one (1) post of concentration to achieve the same effects. Lastly, for small areas of fourth degree burns, it also takes one (1) post of concentration due to the very delicate nature of this type of burn.

[b][color=#008b5e]*[Iijutsu • Chakra Scalpel][/color][/b]
B-Ranked Ninjutsu
Perhaps one of the most dangerous and revered Iijutsu honed by medical-nin, the [i]*[color=#008b5e][Iijutsu • Chakra Scalpel][/color][/i] is no precision instrument. After performing the necessary handseals, the user will begin to focus an ample amount of chakra into his/her hands. Once charged with chakra, the user will attempt to place his/her hands on the target. If the user is able to connect the entirety of his/her palm, the chakra will be released into the opponent's body, slicing tissue, organs and veins up to 4 inches from the surface in an area roughly the size of the user's hand. The skin remains unblemished by this technique, as it only causes small to moderate [i]internal[/i] wounds. As this technique is dangerous and mostly uncontrolled, the precision needed to kill instantaneously is lost. The chakra used in this technique is highly visible when first activated and emanates from both hands for a duration of three (3) posts or until contact with the opponent is made.

[color=#CC00FF][b]~Enhanced Regeneration[/b][/color]
B-Ranked Iijutsu
Requirements: [color=#CC00FF][b]~Basic Regeneration[/b][/color], Iijutsu Concentration
Going above and beyond the normal regeneration capabilities, a shiin is able to utilize some of the user's chakra in order to restore itself to fighting capacity. While not instant, a shiin is able to recover and rebuild itself in [20-(Endurance/3)] posts. A melashiin is able to recover itself in [20-(Endurance/2)] OR [20-(Chakra Pool/2)] posts instead, based on the user's permanent drain. Either way, the fastest that a shiin can recover this way is in 2 posts. During this time, the shiin is unable to manifest.

[color=#CC00FF][b]~Perfect Regeneration[/b][/color]
A-Ranked Iijutsu
Prerequisite: Iijutsu Concentration
Type: All Types
Requirements: [color=#CC00FF][b]~Enhanced Regeneration[/b][/color]
Coming close to perfecting the regeneration factors of their shiin, the Akari member is able to recover their shiin almost as soon as it is destroyed. While the pain is still there, the shiin can recover itself in [15-(Endurance/3 posts)]. A melashiin is able to recover itself in [10-(Endurance/2)] OR [10-(Chakra Pool/2)] posts instead, based on the user's permanent drain. Either way, the fastest that a shiin can recover this way is in 1 post. During this time, the shiin is unable to manifest.

Prerequisite: Derghoshiin or Dergoshiin combination
By focusing chakra on their shiin, the user is able release bits and pieces of the shiin, causing a kunai-like projectile to be launced by the shiin with strength and speed equal to the user's [Control]. While effective, much use can tire out the shiin, just as throwing a kunai with a single arm would overwork it.

D-Ranked Ninjutsu
Prerequsite: Derghoshiin or Dergoshiin combination, [color=#CC00FF][b]~Bullet Spray[/b][/color]
Just like the parent technique, the user focuses chakra on their shiin, while also doing the needed hand seal, releasing bits from the shiin, causing a kunai-like projectile to be launched by the shiin with speed and strength equal to the user's [Control]. The difference, however, is that the user focuses chakra into the launch, causing the projectiles to be imbued with Katon chakra.

[spoiler=Shiin Taijutsu][color=#CC00FF][b]~Perfect Balance[/b][/color]
D-Ranked Discipline Taijutsu
Type: Melashiin, Temershiin, Phasmashiin, Eroshiin, and Lacrishiin.
Due to training with their shiin, Akari members are much more at balance than those without a shiin. This holds especially true for those with temershiin, as the tail-like protrusion provides a counterbalance. This also allows for clan members to use their shiin as legs for balance, if able.

[color=#CC00FF][b]~Slow Fall[/b][/color]
D-Ranked Discipline Taijutsu
Type: Eroshiin
While not quite the same, by opening their shiin to the fullest, an Akari is able to slow their fall without fear of falling, even if thrust downward. While unable to gain height, even with gusts of wind, this protects an Akari from damage caused by falling, given they have enough space to fall.

[color=#CC00FF][b]Double Jump[/b][/color]
D-Ranked Taijutsu Manuver
Type: Eroshiin

B-Ranked Taijutsu Discipline
Kotaru has mastered the art of using multiple limbs in combat and has trained himself to be aware of his targets and surroundings in relation to his body position and the reach of his shiin. The shiin are able respond reflexively to even subtle stimuli, such as slight sounds and movements. This allows him to coordinate his multiple shiin fluidly between both defensive and offensive maneuvers and allows him to strike at full speed and strength if need be.
