Age: 245
Gender: Male
Height: 6'0 Feet (Currently 4'5)
Weight: 130 Pounds (Currently 70 Pounds)

Hair: Kenji's current form, a child he possessed to return to life, has short and shaggy brown hair that barely comes down to his eyes.

Eyes: Kenji's eyes have drastically changed due to the effects of the Jiongu Kinjutsu, causing the sclerae of his eyes to turn red. He also has no pupils, as the blue irides he used to have now completely encompass the entirety of his inner eye. However, the hint of yellow still shows in his eyes, as the outer ring of his irides are yellow.

Physical Features: Having taken on the form of a child for now, Kenji is almost completely different in terms of his appearance. However, there is still much about the man that gives away who he truly is, such as his eyes and body. Kenji's body has changed completely from what it was before after attaining his goals of immortality through the Jiongu Kinjutsu. As such, Kenji's body has taken on a sort of rag doll appearance, with a plethora of stitch lines that appear to hold his body together all over his arms, legs, torso, and even his neck. The child whose body he has taken is shorter, smaller and far less physically intimidating, but the creature within is still a force to be feared. He bears the Link fuuinjutsu seals within his lip and in his right ear, and the Percussion Amplifier seal behind each of his ears. His face and eyes are the biggest giveaways of his body's changes however; if one looked into his mouth as he spoke they would see nothing but black threads, as the entirety of his insides are nothing but black stitching save for his heart. He does still possess his tongue and other sensory organs, but his tongue is near impossible to see through the mass of threads. His face is also complete with a glasgow smile, held together by stitches to keep from opening unless otherwise desired.

Clothing/Accessories: Kenji wears a black, long sleeved high collar robe with a hood, which he usually keeps down unless trying to go by unnoticed. The collar just barely comes above his mouth when it's kept straight, And he has been known to wear a black cloth face mask since undergoing the Jiongu Kinjutsu changes in order to hide the threads in his mouth while in public. The sleeves of the robe are black, and the robe goes down far enough to barely cover his knees. Laced throughout this entire robe is an intricate fuuin design, sewn with white threads and charged with chakra. He wears a simple dark gray shirt under this robe, and he wears baggy black pants with bandages tired around the shins of each leg. He also bears a Kunai holster on the outside of each of his thighs, each armed with 3 Kunai, and two more kunai holsters on his arms, hidden beneath the sleeves of his robes, that contains recycled copies of the kunai in his leg holsters. For footwear he wears traditional dark blue ninja sandals. Attached to an equipment belt hidden on the inside of his robe is a black Ninja pouch on his right hip, containing all of his ninja tools. The belt itself has a large pouch on the left hip, containing all of his blank scrolls, vials of ink and his personal journal. The back of the belt has 3 holsters to hold scrolls for easy access. Lastly, he wears a simple, silver ring on his left ring finger in the shape the Chishiki organization symbol.

Personality: Selfish. Manipulative. Cruel. Sociopathic. These are only a few of the many words used to describe the self proclaimed 'God of Chakra'. Kenji, at his core, is a seeker of knowledge, and there is no task too great to keep him away from this goal. He is a paragon of manipulation and deception; If he is doing something for someone else, it will ultimately lead to his own gain, whether immediate or in the far off future. His mind is extremely analytical, always looking to learn and study anything he finds interesting in more detail to gain a better understanding of it. The temper he had in his young age has been replaced with an eerie stoicism, though he will absolutely brutally reprimand someone for failing him if he feels the need, or if he simply wants to. If someone or something happens to be in the way of him and a goal, they will be dealt with ruthlessly and efficiently. Whether or not force is used is largely determined by the obstacle itself; if he doesn't have to force his way he won't, but he wont hesitate to do so if necessary. He is an intimidating, controlling man at his core, exuding a presence of tyranny and fear to those who interact with him.

After being isolated for 200 years, the man has gone from borderline insanity, to fullblown insanity, to an almost zenlike state. While he considered himself a god before then, that mentality has become much more prevalent with his longevity. He views himself as beyond mortal, having ascended to godliness through the power of chakra. As such, he views chakra with an almost spiritual outlook, and can be found meditating on the mysterious power quite often. Chakra is the very thing that keeps him alive, as he has no need for mortal necessities due to the Jiongu Transformation. Combined with his peerless mastery over the mysterious power, and it's no wonder why he considers himself the God of Chakra.

When push comes to shove, Kenji will gladly erase an opponent from existence, although this usually isn't his first choice. After all, even an enemy has uses if turned in the right direction. After the formation of Chishiki, he has abandoned most of his old hideouts, favoring his personal realm to all others given it's security. However, waterfall country still holds a sentimental place in his mind; the land he once considered his base of operations and the place which gave birth to the new Kenji and Akane. The man can be cruel beyond words, he has just replaced the rage and anger normally associated with that cruelty with indifference and stoicism. The God of Chakra is a ruthless, evil missing ninja that is not to be taken lightly by anyone unless they wish to meet a swift death.

Equipment:

The Staff of YthogthaShow

Staff of Ythogtha
The Staff of Ythogtha looks very much like a wizard's staff, with a large crystal anchored in the tip of the staff, held in place by small winding branches corkscrewing around the crystal. The crystal itself is a large wand of bright green jade, measuring 6 inches in diameter and 1 foot from tip to tip. The wood is thick ironwood, and the entire staff measures 6 and a half feet total from end to end. The staff is weak in comparison to the crystal itself, but is still reinforced by the chakra with the crystal and thus has a strength of 35. It also bears the [Fuuinjutsu: Space Marker] on the staff, and the crystal itself for easy retrieval no matter where it is, even if the staff itself is broken.

However, the crystal has been chakra tempered to serve as a Tsukimogami and is much stronger, as it serves as the prison of the great crystal spirit Kessho-Kami. Reinforced by the power of Kesshō-Kami, who has a Grand Level Soul, the crystal's strength is 45. This staff has two properties to it, based on the power of the spirit within. The first is it's ability to create a large barrier from the tip of the staff for a Base level S-Rank's worth of chakra from Kenji. This can take either a simple circular shield, up to 5 meter diameter, or a full hemisphere that extends up to 5 meters out from the tip of the staff. These barriers have a strength of 50 and spawn with 40 speed, and last as long as Kenji maintains focus on the staff. While maintaining a barrier he is incapable of casting other jutsu.

The second property derives from crystal's passive ability to absorb chakra and Kessho-Kami's gluttony; any attack that makes contact with the staff's barriers and doesn't break them will have the chakra absorbed from the attack and stored within the staff. Thereafter, Kenji can tap into the power of the staff one time per thread to restore his own chakra to a max limit of half of his Chakra Pool stat, based on the chart below:

• 1-9 Strength - 1 Chakra Pool
• 10-19 Strength - 3 Chakra Pool
• 20-29 Strength - 5 Chakra Pool
• 30-39 Strength - 7 Chakra Pool
• 40-49 Strength - 9 Chakra Pool

FuuinjutsuShow

These Fuuin are always present on Kenji's person at the start of each thread unless otherwise stated:

• [Fuuinjutsu: Condition] - The Receiver seal of this two-part fuuin is tattooed on the back of his left hand.
• [Fuuinjutsu: Link] - Tattooed on his inner lip and his inside his right ear, behind the Daith.
• [Fuuinjutsu • Percussion Amplifier] - Tattooed behind both of his ears.
• [Fuuinjutsu • Strengthen and Enhance] - This defensive fuuin is sewn through the entirety of his robe with white thread.

Ninja PouchShow

• 20 Shuriken
• 15 Kunai, 10 of which have his explosive tags attached to them
• Ten 18 inch long, 6 inch wide tags with his [Blasting Seal] inscribed on them
• 3 Flash Tags
• 2 Smoke bombs

Equipment beltShow

Left pouchShow

9 one foot long scrolls that unravel to about six feet in length.

3 vials of Ink and a Quill

A journal containing all of Kenji's research notes, including all of his notes about the mysterious Jiongu Kinjutsu and all of the information on the Genma he could find . A good half of this information is copies of the Jiongu Kinjutsu Scroll that his master possessed, and the other half is information pertaining to sealing, unsealing and containment of Genma

Kunai HolstersShow

6 Kunai total, 3 kept in each holster which are on the outside of each thigh.

Kunai AnchorsShow

Kenji has created 6 duplicate Kunai that are connected through space through the use of the [Recycle & Open Space • True Link] Technique. These Kunai are duplicates of the 6 Kunai in his leg holsters. One of these duplicates sits within his realm while the other 5 are all within a specialized kunai holster hidden underneath his robe on his right arm. The holster wraps around the bicep, making it simple for Kenji to simply touch one of the 5 Kunai with his left hand and transport himself to the corresponding duplicate. The Kunai connected to his Realm is kept attached to his left arm's bicep to separate it from the rest.

Jiongu (Earth Grudge Fear)Show

After years of searching, experimenting, and following his leads, Kenji has finally discovered the secrets of the mysterious Kinjutsu known as Jiongu (Earth Grudge Fear). This technique has transformed his body into a sort of ragdoll, removing all of his organs save his heart and sensory organs (Eyes, Ears, tongue, nerves, nose) and replacing his insides with thick black threads. This ability works as an elemental body modification with his heart being his core. Though he can still feel the sensation of touch through his nerves, pain has also all but left Kenji, his nerves having been damaged severely due to the transformation. The only thing that causes him true pain is anything that would hurt his heart, which would be about a 9 out of 10 on the pain scale. This also removes his base affinity, leaving him unable to acquire elemental ninjutsu. As a last note, this also changes the color of his chakra to Black, a purely aesthetic change as a result of the corruption of the Jiongu Kinjutsu.

The Masked OnesShow

Utilizing his [Even Death May Die] technique, Kenji can take the bodies of the deceased and store some of his life force and chakra within them. In doing so, Kenji transforms their bodies into something akin to his own; replacing all of the body's insides with black tendrils except for the heart, which serves as a container for his life force, and their faces, which are replaced by porcelain masks. This functions as a companion ability, allowing Kenji to have 4 additional companion slots that are all devoted to making these reanimated corpses that Kenji refers to as "The Masked Ones".

The Masked Ones are deceased bodies and they retain all of the things they had in their previous life; Their concentrations, abilities, jutsu, stats and anything else that was a part of their body is retained by them in death, to the limit allowed by the companion system. This means that, if the character has more abilities or concentrations then a companion is allowed, they must be removed to be brought within the rules for companions. They may also be given the "Jiongu" elemental body ability as part of the process, granting them psuedo immortality and filling their one ability slot, though this is not required. In the event they do not receive his elemental body, the body in question retains it's organs and functional necessities, with only enough tendrils inside of them for Kenji to control them. The only thing not retained by the body is it's mind and consciousness; they are wiped clean and linked with Kenji's in a sort of hivemind fashion, turning these deceased bodies into replicas of Kenji. His mind and consciousness extend throughout the Masked Ones, and as a result each body's senses are linked with his and each others, allowing Kenji and the Masked Ones to perceive the sensory input of each other telepathically. Due to the permanent telepathic link between him and the Masked Ones, Genjutsu effect all of the Masked Ones and Kenji simultaneously, even if only one body is caught in the genjutsu. Kenji can speak through the Masked Ones, but the voice is always his own unless he uses a jutsu to disguise it. As part of the reanimation process for Kenji's Masked ones, Kenji must permanently devote a minimum of 5 Chakra Pool to each Masked One from his own stat pool. This is tracked separately in each body's "Masked One" ability.

Sensors are people that are able to sense chakra and locate it. This can be done in a number of ways, but most often in the form of some sort of environmental empathy with the elements. Masters of these techniques are usually built around support or subterfuge, but usually both. Because the source of a ninja’s power is chakra, those that are able to detect it with any kind of accuracy are able to access tactical options that other ninja are incapable of.

This concentration allows for the user to user chakra to affect the biological processes of a living creature. This includes modifying, speeding up, or slowing down the biological processes. Iijutsu is known for it's advanced nature and requires precise chakra control to work effectively. It can be differentiate from normal techniques by the faint light green colour of the chakra used in Iijutsu techniques.

Kenji has superb chakra control, and has learned to perform jutsu by channeling, without the use of hand seals. He can channel any ninjutsu that is designed to be channeled, and there are no specified parameters in which a jutsu must fall to be channeled by this method.

As part of the process of learning how to use his new body, Kenji had to teach himself how to use chakra to control the tendrils that compose his new form. This concentration reflects that training, allowing him to use ninjutsu to use the tendrils that make up his body in various ways.

After mastering the usage of base chakra manipulation, Jikukan Ninjutsu allows exceptional users to break the barriers between space, time and reality using nothing but chakra. This allows them to manipulate the physical properties of objects on a level that transcends dimensions and physical location, to the point that all boundaries are now removed to them.

Kenji's RealmShow

PictureShow

Kenji's Realm reflects not the inner workings of his methodic mind, but the very nature of that which he seeks; forbidden knowledge. Just as the raving lunatics who come to their conclusions through insane paths, Kenji's realm appears nigh incomprehensible to the average human being.

The actual design is that of an abandoned, ancient city, built of an unknown material that feels like sandstone but is far more durable, requiring 35 strength to break them. Towers and buildings seem to be built at random, and in inconcievable locations, such as upside down and horizontal, with bridges between buildings that could be horizontal or vertical, straight or corkscrewed. Doorways lead to the ground and staircases seem to wrap around in odd angles. One minute you could be walking straight, then after taking a staircase you are suddenly walking sideways as if you were on a wall. From one perspective an area might appear straight, and from another it appears angled. The entire realm is built in a non euclidian way, making it hard to comprehend for someone not prepared to deal with it. Of course, the world is still subject to the traditional laws of physics, and therefore one would require the Art of Tree walking or flight of some kind to traverse some of the hazards in this world of Kenji's creation.

There is nothing containing this world, no final wall or barrier to stop someone from entering the black void of nothingness outside of Kenji's actual realm. And from this darkness, black tendrils seem to squirm and slither about as if waiting for one foolish or unlucky enough to fall within their grasp. Tendrils will occasionally reach out to touch those close enough to the dark corners of the realm, but they cannot harm or grab anyone with enough strength to encumber them and are meant purely for aesthetics.

There is one tower in particular that stands out from the rest; a tower made of some unknown black stone that rises a full 50 meters into the sky. This building has no windows, no door, no feasible means to enter or exit it. However, one who contains one of Kenji's bound objects can use the object as a sort of key, holding it in front of the tower to create a temporary doorway that closes once they enter it. Inside of this tower is a monumentous amount of books; all empty unless Kenji has written in them himself. Currently residing in this area is the scroll that contains all of Kenji's human organs; the Jiongu Kinjutsu scroll that he created to perform the ritual. This tower also contains a statue made in the likeness of Akane Enkouten, with her elemental body's core nestled in the chest of the statue.

HistoryShow

Humble BeginningsShow

Kenji was born on a dark and snowy night in the village of Iwagakure to two jounin parents, Kizaru and Tsukane Hiraku. Thus, from a young age, Kenji was bred for excellence by his parents, who were both ninjutsu specialists in their prime. Growing up the young Kenji was a rather uninteresting boy, though even from a young age he could be found frequenting libraries and reading the scrolls in his home that his parents studied when they were children. When not reading and studying, he was meditating and practicing his ability to control chakra, which even at the young age of 8 was formidable. And if he wasn't studying or practicing with his chakra, he was memorizing and writing fuuin seal after fuuin seal, practicing his writing abilities. At the end of the day, everything he did was in the interest of advancing himself to the point of joining the Academy, which he ended up joining shortly after he turned 8.

The years of the academy proved laughably easy for the young Kenji. The boy had no problem passing any and all tests presented to him, even the Taijutsu exams were passed with little difficulty. He made no friends during the Academy years, as he wasn't much for social interaction, feeling that it only interrupted his study time. Shortly after Graduating the Academy at the age of 13, his parents used their pull to get Kenji taught by one of the best, oldest ninja in the village: Tenma, Ichirou. The 75 year old, demonic looking man was a master of all things related to chakra, even being one of the few capable of sealing and unsealing the phantom beasts known as Genma as he was a master of the art of Fuuinjutsu. Ichirou was the first person other than his parents that Kenji truly respected as a boy, and he spent as much time as possible at his Mentor's house, learning anything and everything he could from the man.

It wasn't until Kenji turned 15 that he realized the one true issue he had with Ichirou: he wouldn't let Kenji learn at his own pace. Ichirou's philosophy was that too much knowledge could corrupt and inevitebly turn someone to evil in the pursuit of knowledge, which Kenji couldn't stand. He felt that knowledge was the strongest thing a ninja could have access to, and that one should always aim to further increase their knowledge in all ways and forms. It wasn't long after this that Kenji began smuggling and stealing books from Ichirou's house, learning all he could about the sealing and unsealing of Genma and jotting down notes in his own personal journal before returning the books to Ichirou's to avoid suspicion. It was through one of these thefts that he discovered more information about the Genma in an old dusty scroll, learning how Ichirou himself had sealed one of the Genma into a Tenma host only a couple of years in the past. Soon after this disagreement in philosophy Kenji took the Chuunin exams alone, and only just barely succeeded against the Taijutsu heavy chuunin by blowing them up with a Fuuin seal on a Barrier, leading him into a trap with the Fuuin seals and nearly killing the boy.

His mind was truly blown when he happened upon the scroll that would change his life: A scroll hinting towards a long forgotten process of body modification known as Jiongu. There was only a small amount of information on the technique, but it was enough to put the idea into his head that he would pursue this knowledge to the ends of the world. He copied the entirety of this scroll into his journal, then finally felt it was time to confront his mentor about the information that he refused to share. at the age of 18 Kenji asked Ichirou about the scrolls of forgotten knowledge, and was surprised to find that Ichirou had known Kenji was reading the scrolls without his permission. Each of the scrolls had small tracking Fuuinjutsu on them that Kenji didn't notice, and Ichirou was furious with the young man, once more scolding him on how too much knowledge would be Kenji's downfall. In a fit of rage Kenji left that day, this being on of the last times he would ever see Ichirou.

After being turned down by his mentor, Kenji took matters into his own hands and created his own secret experimentation lab in the underground of Iwa. He then began capturing the slaves and poor undesirables of the village and using them for his own twisted experiments, trying to mimic the process of Jiongu as best he could without seeing the actual method of performing the art. Needless to say, every one of his experiments failed and resulted in the death of the subject, and with each failure his obsession grew darker and darker. he spent 3 years of his life this way, only taking missions when Kizaru and Tsukane questioned his activities or when he truly needed the money, and finally he became a jounin by the age of 21. It wasn't too long after his evaluation for rank up however that his former mentor Ichirou sought him out for a talk.

Life of a FugitiveShow

It was a dark night that night in Iwagakure when Kenji and Ichirou had their final discussion about the nature of knowledge. Ichirou had been investigating Kenji after he left the man's house that day in a rage, much to Kenji's displeasure. He had found the disposed bodies of Iwa slaves, scrawled with all manner of fuuin, modified by all manners of surgeries and contaminated with Kenji's chakra, and was ready to turn him in and have him face trial for his crimes. This was the turning point in Kenshi's life, the tipping point that sent him over the edge and into darkness forever. With his eyes filled with anger and his heart filled with rage, Kenji crushed his former mentor with a barrier, slamming him into the ground and silencing the frail old man forever. In silence he grabbed a few scrolls and began jotting down everything he could pertaining to all forms of knowledge, everything from Genma sealing techniques to the Jiongu Kinjutsu information were in his possession now. but Kenji knew he could no longer stay within Iwa after this. It was time to leave, he was done with these ignorant fools who feared the effects of knowledge.

Under cover of darkness Kenji ran through the village, as it didn't take too long for the Iwagakure shinobi to realize what had happened and they were hot on the Jounin's tail. He refrained from killing anyone as best he could, choosing only to subdue and slow down enemies with his barriers and fuuin explosions, making the terrain as difficult as he could by shattering it with explosions. Finally he made it to the Great wall of Iwa, running up the side with the Art of Tree climbing technique and across the mile long wall of stone. Finally he made it down the wall and thought he was finally free of the accursed village, only to find the two people he had hoped to not see: Kizaru and Tsukane. His parents, armed and ready to stop their son by any means necessary. The ensuing fight between them was painful for the man's parents, But to Kenji they were already dead. If they wanted to stop their son from fulfilling his ambitions, they were no parents of his.

Kenji's parents almost had him too, he was weakened from all of the techniques he had used to stop and slow down his pursuers, who would no doubt be there soon. They made one simple flaw though: they couldnt bring themselves to kill their son. Tsukane had a moment of hesitation, Which Kenji promptly took advantage of by throwing an explosive kunai towards her. Kizaru attempted to stop the Kunai with a barrier, but it was simply too weak and the kunai pierced through the barrier, embedding itself into Tsukane's chest. As the blood poured from the wound Kizaru rushed to her aid to try and remove the tag before their son detonated it, and the fool was caught in the ensuing explosion as Kenji Kai'd the seal, blowing them both to bits. Injured and fatigued from the fight, Kenji walked over to their mangled bodies and removed the Kunai from his mother's chest, then slowly took off his headband. The hunter nin who found the destroyed bodies of his parents found Kenji's last "present" to the two jounin: His forehead protector, left with a deep, clean slash through the symbol of Iwagakure layed in between the bodies of his parents. Kenji was a village ninja no more.

The next year of Kenji's life was spent on the run, constantly changing his location in the attempt to throw off any pursuers that may be following him from Iwagakure. He had spent the necessary time and energy to create small labs and safe houses in some of the minor countries, areas to perform his experiments and lay low from the hunters that may have come for him. Though he was unafraid and ready to take the lives of more Iwa ninja should they come for him, he didn't want to attract any more attention from the village. Once the coast was a bit more clear, Kenji would begin to take various steps towards realizing his goal of immortality.

Ascension and MadnessShow

Three years later, Kenji finally tracked down the origins of Jiongu to an unknown missing ninja, and after a fierce battle with him he was able to acquire the necessary specimens to further his experimentation. After a grueling month of preparation, Kenji performed the kinjutsu ritual, causing all of his blood, bones and organs save for his heart to be removed and replaced with thick black tendrils. Rising from death and reborn anew, Hiraku Kenji has transcended humanity.

The next step was to begin gathering hearts to add to his collection, and the first on his list was a shinobi who's skills were comparable to his own; Ouji, Sanjuku. Known for being able to bend space and time to his whims, Kenji approached the man in his own abode, massacring all of his underlings along the way. The battle between the two spanned both of their dimensions, but by the end of it, the two were in Sanjuku's realm. It was there that Kenji struck the man down and tore his heart from his chest... and there that Kenji was trapped. The moment the life left Sanjuku's body, a failsafe triggered within the real world; an artifact in the shape of a sundial created by Sanjuku to fuel chakra into the Ouji's realm, while simultaneously preventing anyone from leaving the realm... including Kenji

There was also another quality to this Realm of Sanjuku's; the passage of time was altered significantly. Years upon years were spent within Sanjuku's realm, day after day of solitude slowly drove Kenji to insanity... And after he was insane for about 80 years, even insanity became nothing to him. He finally understood what the concept of 'forever' felt like, if only a microscopically small understanding of what forever truly meant. He contemplated killing himself; after all, that was no doubt what this trap was meant to do; give Sanjuku a final laugh from the afterlife as his murderer rotted away in his realm for eternity.

But he didn't. He thought and theorized and worked and gained power, biding his time for the day he would escape the infinite hell that was Sanjuku's realm. And one day it happened; he outlasted the artifact, which finally ran out of chakra, resulting in Kenji being thrust back into the real world. After what felt like an eternity, Kenji learned the truth of what had happened; What he had thought was almost 200 years of time was, in reality, only two in the real world. That bastard's realm altered the passage of time so much that Kenji felt hundreds of years older for it. He had gone through a period of insanity, only to return to normal and become almost zen-like in his revelations.

Death of the Queen, Birth of the PrincessShow

Upon his return, the first order of business was to reconnect with his comrades, and his underling. Yaksha was no where to be found, faded into the ether as he always did, and Nehan was difficult to track, but he knew exactly where Akane was. After all, she was part of the reason he fought Sanjuku, and why he was trapped in that realm. He found her at their old hideout, a miserable wreck, falling apart at the seams in a literal sense as she simply didn't bother controlling her chakra to keep herself together. And her mind was as chaotic and damaged as her body, she had gone completely and totally insane in his absence.

A slap across the face proved to her he was really back, and in that moment of clarity Kenji shared with Akane the first expression of selflessness and love the man has ever had in his life. He cared for her, spoke to her softly, and even told her that he loved her. But he couldn't let her be that way, despite wanting to keep her with him. And so it was that he removed her core from her chest, ending her living hell and giving her the peace she wanted. He then detonated his old base, leaving behind nothing but a series of 3 graves; one for each of Akane's cohorts and one for Akane herself, each with an obsidian throwing knife as a gravestone.

He kept her core, however, and fashioned a statue in her likeness to keep in his realm. After her death, he deciphered her sacred brand band and learned of something she left in a samurai compound before her fateful meeting with Kenji years ago. Upon seeking this place out, he discovered that Akane had had a child without his knowledge... A child that was his. Suzume. And so the second act of selflessness would be commited; he spared her life, and intended to leave her alone to live as a samurai. However fate had other plans, and a man after Kenji's life tracked him to that dojo, leveling the entire place. Suzume made her way to Kenji, who proceeded to slaughter the opponents after her. At that point, he had no choice but to bring her along; she was safer with him then anywhere else. He taught her the ways of ninjutsu, which she took to like a sponge to water, and then caught wind of Nehan's whereabouts in Fire Country. Upon meeting up with her, he found her in a heated battle with none other than the Hokage of Konoha; Natsuki, Takeo. He lent his aid to Nehan and spoke with the Hokage, the two missing ninja taking their leave shortly after with little trouble.

Failure and RessurectionShow

After retrieving Nehan, he decided it was time to make his intentions known. He would know all the world had to know, and would attain this knowledge by any means necessary. It was then that Chishiki was born, a criminal organization devoted to the acquisition of Information. Leading the group, Kenji seeks to fulfill his goals and learn all that there is to know... But as is always the case with those who seek knowledge, sometimes the price paid is too great. After performing a ritual in an attempt to send himself years back in time, his body fell apart, and for many years it was thought that Kenji was dead. His daughter left to pursue her own machinations, Nehan was loose and uncontrolled, and many assumed that The Thing that Should Not Be had finally vanished from this world...

Were it so easy.

His heart remained, and within that heart, Kenji's essence still existed. Hardly conscious or aware, the time that passed felt like an eternity to him, though this was nothing abnormal for a being like Kenji. Eventually, a disturbance could be felt throughout his realm. Intruders... A missing ninja of incredible power who sought to plunder Kenji's realm for it's wealth of knowledge. And plunder he did, taking many of his findings for himself... But among these curios was Kenji's heart. The heart sensed chakra, it wanted to consume, to feed... But it couldn't. This one was too powerful for him in his current state. He would have to lay low, like a rat, and bide his time...

The heart was sold on the black market as a rare curio, a relic from the personal realm of a madman. It found it's way from hand to hand, buyer to buyer, each hand that touched it was either too strong or too weak. But finally, it found it's way to a merchant, and when the merchant's son took hold of the heart, he felt it's power coursing within. While no one else watched, the heart pulsed a single time; a sign of life. Over time, the boy grew attached to the macabre artifact, and in the silence of the night he would speak to it like a friend. And in turn, the heart responded, molding and corrupting the boy with it's foul influence. Until the day his father claimed he had found a buyer for the heart...

On the eve before the heart was due to be sold, Kenji's essence urged the boy to act; In a few flashes of steel, the boy murdered his own family in cold blood and dashed into the forests with only the heart in hand. And now that the boy had spilled blood, he was ready... Tendrils, moving with the speed of lightning, dug deep into the boy's flesh. His cries of agony lasted only moments as the tendrils wormed their way through his form, empyting his body of organ, sinew and bone. Even the boy's own heart was discarded, leaving behind nothing but a sack of skin... a new vessel for Kenji's heart. With a gasp of relief, Kenji rose in his new form, that of a 12 year old boy, and realized how little of his former power he still retained. He would not be able to reveal himself to the world again, not yet... He'd have to remain incognito until he was strong again, until he was ready to reveal himself to the world once more...

Until the God of Chakra was ready to retake his throne.

[b][color=#872B93]Height:[/color][/b] 6'0 Feet (Currently 4'5)
[b][color=#872B93]Weight:[/color][/b] 130 Pounds (Currently 70 Pounds)

[b][color=#872B93]Hair:[/color][/b] Kenji's current form, a child he possessed to return to life, has short and shaggy brown hair that barely comes down to his eyes.

[b][color=#872B93]Eyes:[/color][/b] Kenji's eyes have drastically changed due to the effects of the Jiongu Kinjutsu, causing the sclerae of his eyes to turn red. He also has no pupils, as the blue irides he used to have now completely encompass the entirety of his inner eye. However, the hint of yellow still shows in his eyes, as the outer ring of his irides are yellow.

[b][color=#872B93]Physical Features:[/color][/b] Having taken on the form of a child for now, Kenji is almost completely different in terms of his appearance. However, there is still much about the man that gives away who he truly is, such as his eyes and body. Kenji's body has changed completely from what it was before after attaining his goals of immortality through the Jiongu Kinjutsu. As such, Kenji's body has taken on a sort of rag doll appearance, with a plethora of stitch lines that appear to hold his body together all over his arms, legs, torso, and even his neck. The child whose body he has taken is shorter, smaller and far less physically intimidating, but the creature within is still a force to be feared. He bears the Link fuuinjutsu seals within his lip and in his right ear, and the Percussion Amplifier seal behind each of his ears. His face and eyes are the biggest giveaways of his body's changes however; if one looked into his mouth as he spoke they would see nothing but black threads, as the entirety of his insides are nothing but black stitching save for his heart. He does still possess his tongue and other sensory organs, but his tongue is near impossible to see through the mass of threads. His face is also complete with a glasgow smile, held together by stitches to keep from opening unless otherwise desired.

[b][color=#872B93]Clothing/Accessories:[/color][/b] Kenji wears a black, long sleeved high collar robe with a hood, which he usually keeps down unless trying to go by unnoticed. The collar just barely comes above his mouth when it's kept straight, And he has been known to wear a black cloth face mask since undergoing the Jiongu Kinjutsu changes in order to hide the threads in his mouth while in public. The sleeves of the robe are black, and the robe goes down far enough to barely cover his knees. Laced throughout this entire robe is an intricate fuuin design, sewn with white threads and charged with chakra. He wears a simple dark gray shirt under this robe, and he wears baggy black pants with bandages tired around the shins of each leg. He also bears a Kunai holster on the outside of each of his thighs, each armed with 3 Kunai, and two more kunai holsters on his arms, hidden beneath the sleeves of his robes, that contains recycled copies of the kunai in his leg holsters. For footwear he wears traditional dark blue ninja sandals. Attached to an equipment belt hidden on the inside of his robe is a black Ninja pouch on his right hip, containing all of his ninja tools. The belt itself has a large pouch on the left hip, containing all of his blank scrolls, vials of ink and his personal journal. The back of the belt has 3 holsters to hold scrolls for easy access. Lastly, he wears a simple, silver ring on his left ring finger in the shape the Chishiki organization symbol.

[b][color=#872B93]Personality:[/color][/b] Selfish. Manipulative. Cruel. Sociopathic. These are only a few of the many words used to describe the self proclaimed 'God of Chakra'. Kenji, at his core, is a seeker of knowledge, and there is no task too great to keep him away from this goal. He is a paragon of manipulation and deception; If he is doing something for someone else, it will ultimately lead to his own gain, whether immediate or in the far off future. His mind is extremely analytical, always looking to learn and study anything he finds interesting in more detail to gain a better understanding of it. The temper he had in his young age has been replaced with an eerie stoicism, though he will absolutely brutally reprimand someone for failing him if he feels the need, or if he simply wants to. If someone or something happens to be in the way of him and a goal, they will be dealt with ruthlessly and efficiently. Whether or not force is used is largely determined by the obstacle itself; if he doesn't have to force his way he won't, but he wont hesitate to do so if necessary. He is an intimidating, controlling man at his core, exuding a presence of tyranny and fear to those who interact with him.

After being isolated for 200 years, the man has gone from borderline insanity, to fullblown insanity, to an almost zenlike state. While he considered himself a god before then, that mentality has become much more prevalent with his longevity. He views himself as beyond mortal, having ascended to godliness through the power of chakra. As such, he views chakra with an almost spiritual outlook, and can be found meditating on the mysterious power quite often. Chakra is the very thing that keeps him alive, as he has no need for mortal necessities due to the Jiongu Transformation. Combined with his peerless mastery over the mysterious power, and it's no wonder why he considers himself the God of Chakra.

When push comes to shove, Kenji will gladly erase an opponent from existence, although this usually isn't his first choice. After all, even an enemy has uses if turned in the right direction. After the formation of Chishiki, he has abandoned most of his old hideouts, favoring his personal realm to all others given it's security. However, waterfall country still holds a sentimental place in his mind; the land he once considered his base of operations and the place which gave birth to the new Kenji and Akane. The man can be cruel beyond words, he has just replaced the rage and anger normally associated with that cruelty with indifference and stoicism. The God of Chakra is a ruthless, evil missing ninja that is not to be taken lightly by anyone unless they wish to meet a swift death.

[b][color=#872B93]Combat Style:[/color][/b] Kenji is a master of ninjutsu; He can utilize various different kinds of non elemental ninjutsu to a variety of effects on the battlefield. Raw ninpou serves as his most potent offense and defense. Fuuinjutsu, Space Time and Sensory cover various support fields, while also aiding his offense and defense. On top of that, his mastery of the Jiongu Kinjutsu has enabled him to perform inhuman feats of power, turning himself into writhing masses of tendrils capable of ripping enemies limb from limb. Perhaps his most terrifying power, After converting a deceased opponent into a Masked One, he adds their repertoire to his own, further extending his versatility and power. In summary, Kenji's skillset covers all bases, and one should be extremely cautious if they wish to fight him; His tactical mind combined with his large variety of options make him an incredibly dangerous opponent.

[b][color=#872B93]Equipment:[/color][/b]
[spoiler=The Staff of Ythogtha]Staff of Ythogtha
The Staff of Ythogtha looks very much like a wizard's staff, with a large crystal anchored in the tip of the staff, held in place by small winding branches corkscrewing around the crystal. The crystal itself is a large wand of bright green jade, measuring 6 inches in diameter and 1 foot from tip to tip. The wood is thick ironwood, and the entire staff measures 6 and a half feet total from end to end. The staff is weak in comparison to the crystal itself, but is still reinforced by the chakra with the crystal and thus has a strength of 35. It also bears the [Fuuinjutsu: Space Marker] on the staff, and the crystal itself for easy retrieval no matter where it is, even if the staff itself is broken.

However, the crystal has been chakra tempered to serve as a Tsukimogami and is much stronger, as it serves as the prison of the great crystal spirit [url=https://www.narutosaigen.com/forums/viewtopic.php?&t=?p=4124283&t=5836190]Kessho-Kami[/url]. Reinforced by the power of Kesshō-Kami, who has a Grand Level Soul, the crystal's strength is 45. This staff has two properties to it, based on the power of the spirit within. The first is it's ability to create a large barrier from the tip of the staff for a Base level S-Rank's worth of chakra from Kenji. This can take either a simple circular shield, up to 5 meter diameter, or a full hemisphere that extends up to 5 meters out from the tip of the staff. These barriers have a strength of 50 and spawn with 40 speed, and last as long as Kenji maintains focus on the staff. While maintaining a barrier he is incapable of casting other jutsu.

The second property derives from crystal's passive ability to absorb chakra and Kessho-Kami's gluttony; any attack that makes contact with the staff's barriers and doesn't break them will have the chakra absorbed from the attack and stored within the staff. Thereafter, Kenji can tap into the power of the staff one time per thread to restore his own chakra to a max limit of half of his Chakra Pool stat, based on the chart below: [list][*]1-9 Strength - 1 Chakra Pool[*]10-19 Strength - 3 Chakra Pool[*]20-29 Strength - 5 Chakra Pool[*]30-39 Strength - 7 Chakra Pool[*]40-49 Strength - 9 Chakra Pool[/list][/spoiler][spoiler=Fuuinjutsu]These Fuuin are always present on Kenji's person at the start of each thread unless otherwise stated:[list][*][Fuuinjutsu: Condition] - The Receiver seal of this two-part fuuin is tattooed on the back of his left hand.[*][Fuuinjutsu: Link] - Tattooed on his inner lip and his inside his right ear, behind the Daith.[*][Fuuinjutsu • Percussion Amplifier] - Tattooed behind both of his ears.[*][Fuuinjutsu • Strengthen and Enhance] - This defensive fuuin is sewn through the entirety of his robe with white thread.[/list][/spoiler][spoiler=Ninja Pouch][list][*]20 Shuriken

A journal containing all of Kenji's research notes, including all of his notes about the mysterious Jiongu Kinjutsu and all of the information on the Genma he could find . A good half of this information is copies of the Jiongu Kinjutsu Scroll that his master possessed, and the other half is information pertaining to sealing, unsealing and containment of Genma[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Kunai Holsters] 6 Kunai total, 3 kept in each holster which are on the outside of each thigh.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Kunai Anchors]Kenji has created 6 duplicate Kunai that are connected through space through the use of the [Recycle & Open Space • True Link] Technique. These Kunai are duplicates of the 6 Kunai in his leg holsters. One of these duplicates sits within his realm while the other 5 are all within a specialized kunai holster hidden underneath his robe on his right arm. The holster wraps around the bicep, making it simple for Kenji to simply touch one of the 5 Kunai with his left hand and transport himself to the corresponding duplicate. The Kunai connected to his Realm is kept attached to his left arm's bicep to separate it from the rest.[/spoiler][/spoiler]

[spoiler=Jiongu (Earth Grudge Fear)]After years of searching, experimenting, and following his leads, Kenji has finally discovered the secrets of the mysterious Kinjutsu known as Jiongu (Earth Grudge Fear). This technique has transformed his body into a sort of ragdoll, removing all of his organs save his heart and sensory organs (Eyes, Ears, tongue, nerves, nose) and replacing his insides with thick black threads. This ability works as an elemental body modification with his heart being his core. Though he can still feel the sensation of touch through his nerves, pain has also all but left Kenji, his nerves having been damaged severely due to the transformation. The only thing that causes him true pain is anything that would hurt his heart, which would be about a 9 out of 10 on the pain scale. This also removes his base affinity, leaving him unable to acquire elemental ninjutsu. As a last note, this also changes the color of his chakra to [color=#000][b]Black[/b][/color], a purely aesthetic change as a result of the corruption of the Jiongu Kinjutsu.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=The Masked Ones]Utilizing his [Even Death May Die] technique, Kenji can take the bodies of the deceased and store some of his life force and chakra within them. In doing so, Kenji transforms their bodies into something akin to his own; replacing all of the body's insides with black tendrils except for the heart, which serves as a container for his life force, and their faces, which are replaced by porcelain masks. This functions as a companion ability, allowing Kenji to have 4 additional companion slots that are all devoted to making these reanimated corpses that Kenji refers to as "The Masked Ones".

The Masked Ones are deceased bodies and they retain all of the things they had in their previous life; Their concentrations, abilities, jutsu, stats and anything else that was a part of their body is retained by them in death, to the limit allowed by the companion system. This means that, if the character has more abilities or concentrations then a companion is allowed, they must be removed to be brought within the rules for companions. They may also be given the "Jiongu" elemental body ability as part of the process, granting them psuedo immortality and filling their one ability slot, though this is not required. In the event they do not receive his elemental body, the body in question retains it's organs and functional necessities, with only enough tendrils inside of them for Kenji to control them. The only thing not retained by the body is it's mind and consciousness; they are wiped clean and linked with Kenji's in a sort of hivemind fashion, turning these deceased bodies into replicas of Kenji. His mind and consciousness extend throughout the Masked Ones, and as a result each body's senses are linked with his and each others, allowing Kenji and the Masked Ones to perceive the sensory input of each other telepathically. Due to the permanent telepathic link between him and the Masked Ones, Genjutsu effect all of the Masked Ones and Kenji simultaneously, even if only one body is caught in the genjutsu. Kenji can speak through the Masked Ones, but the voice is always his own unless he uses a jutsu to disguise it. As part of the reanimation process for Kenji's Masked ones, Kenji must permanently devote a minimum of 5 Chakra Pool to each Masked One from his own stat pool. This is tracked separately in each body's "Masked One" ability.[/spoiler][hr]

[spoiler=Kenji's Realm][spoiler=Picture][img]https://i.imgur.com/ZRPWQPZ.jpg[/img][/spoiler]
Kenji's Realm reflects not the inner workings of his methodic mind, but the very nature of that which he seeks; forbidden knowledge. Just as the raving lunatics who come to their conclusions through insane paths, Kenji's realm appears nigh incomprehensible to the average human being.

The actual design is that of an abandoned, ancient city, built of an unknown material that feels like sandstone but is far more durable, requiring 35 strength to break them. Towers and buildings seem to be built at random, and in inconcievable locations, such as upside down and horizontal, with bridges between buildings that could be horizontal or vertical, straight or corkscrewed. Doorways lead to the ground and staircases seem to wrap around in odd angles. One minute you could be walking straight, then after taking a staircase you are suddenly walking sideways as if you were on a wall. From one perspective an area might appear straight, and from another it appears angled. The entire realm is built in a non euclidian way, making it hard to comprehend for someone not prepared to deal with it. Of course, the world is still subject to the traditional laws of physics, and therefore one would require the Art of Tree walking or flight of some kind to traverse some of the hazards in this world of Kenji's creation.

There is nothing containing this world, no final wall or barrier to stop someone from entering the black void of nothingness outside of Kenji's actual realm. And from this darkness, black tendrils seem to squirm and slither about as if waiting for one foolish or unlucky enough to fall within their grasp. Tendrils will occasionally reach out to touch those close enough to the dark corners of the realm, but they cannot harm or grab anyone with enough strength to encumber them and are meant purely for aesthetics.

There is one tower in particular that stands out from the rest; a tower made of some unknown black stone that rises a full 50 meters into the sky. This building has no windows, no door, no feasible means to enter or exit it. However, one who contains one of Kenji's bound objects can use the object as a sort of key, holding it in front of the tower to create a temporary doorway that closes once they enter it. Inside of this tower is a monumentous amount of books; all empty unless Kenji has written in them himself. Currently residing in this area is the scroll that contains all of Kenji's human organs; the Jiongu Kinjutsu scroll that he created to perform the ritual. This tower also contains a statue made in the likeness of Akane Enkouten, with her elemental body's core nestled in the chest of the statue.[/spoiler][/quote][/spoiler]

[spoiler=History][spoiler=Humble Beginnings]Kenji was born on a dark and snowy night in the village of Iwagakure to two jounin parents, Kizaru and Tsukane Hiraku. Thus, from a young age, Kenji was bred for excellence by his parents, who were both ninjutsu specialists in their prime. Growing up the young Kenji was a rather uninteresting boy, though even from a young age he could be found frequenting libraries and reading the scrolls in his home that his parents studied when they were children. When not reading and studying, he was meditating and practicing his ability to control chakra, which even at the young age of 8 was formidable. And if he wasn't studying or practicing with his chakra, he was memorizing and writing fuuin seal after fuuin seal, practicing his writing abilities. At the end of the day, everything he did was in the interest of advancing himself to the point of joining the Academy, which he ended up joining shortly after he turned 8.

The years of the academy proved laughably easy for the young Kenji. The boy had no problem passing any and all tests presented to him, even the Taijutsu exams were passed with little difficulty. He made no friends during the Academy years, as he wasn't much for social interaction, feeling that it only interrupted his study time. Shortly after Graduating the Academy at the age of 13, his parents used their pull to get Kenji taught by one of the best, oldest ninja in the village: Tenma, Ichirou. The 75 year old, demonic looking man was a master of all things related to chakra, even being one of the few capable of sealing and unsealing the phantom beasts known as Genma as he was a master of the art of Fuuinjutsu. Ichirou was the first person other than his parents that Kenji truly respected as a boy, and he spent as much time as possible at his Mentor's house, learning anything and everything he could from the man.

It wasn't until Kenji turned 15 that he realized the one true issue he had with Ichirou: he wouldn't let Kenji learn at his own pace. Ichirou's philosophy was that too much knowledge could corrupt and inevitebly turn someone to evil in the pursuit of knowledge, which Kenji couldn't stand. He felt that knowledge was the strongest thing a ninja could have access to, and that one should always aim to further increase their knowledge in all ways and forms. It wasn't long after this that Kenji began smuggling and stealing books from Ichirou's house, learning all he could about the sealing and unsealing of Genma and jotting down notes in his own personal journal before returning the books to Ichirou's to avoid suspicion. It was through one of these thefts that he discovered more information about the Genma in an old dusty scroll, learning how Ichirou himself had sealed one of the Genma into a Tenma host only a couple of years in the past. Soon after this disagreement in philosophy Kenji took the Chuunin exams alone, and only just barely succeeded against the Taijutsu heavy chuunin by blowing them up with a Fuuin seal on a Barrier, leading him into a trap with the Fuuin seals and nearly killing the boy.

His mind was truly blown when he happened upon the scroll that would change his life: A scroll hinting towards a long forgotten process of body modification known as Jiongu. There was only a small amount of information on the technique, but it was enough to put the idea into his head that he would pursue this knowledge to the ends of the world. He copied the entirety of this scroll into his journal, then finally felt it was time to confront his mentor about the information that he refused to share. at the age of 18 Kenji asked Ichirou about the scrolls of forgotten knowledge, and was surprised to find that Ichirou had known Kenji was reading the scrolls without his permission. Each of the scrolls had small tracking Fuuinjutsu on them that Kenji didn't notice, and Ichirou was furious with the young man, once more scolding him on how too much knowledge would be Kenji's downfall. In a fit of rage Kenji left that day, this being on of the last times he would ever see Ichirou.

After being turned down by his mentor, Kenji took matters into his own hands and created his own secret experimentation lab in the underground of Iwa. He then began capturing the slaves and poor undesirables of the village and using them for his own twisted experiments, trying to mimic the process of Jiongu as best he could without seeing the actual method of performing the art. Needless to say, every one of his experiments failed and resulted in the death of the subject, and with each failure his obsession grew darker and darker. he spent 3 years of his life this way, only taking missions when Kizaru and Tsukane questioned his activities or when he truly needed the money, and finally he became a jounin by the age of 21. It wasn't too long after his evaluation for rank up however that his former mentor Ichirou sought him out for a talk.[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Life of a Fugitive]It was a dark night that night in Iwagakure when Kenji and Ichirou had their final discussion about the nature of knowledge. Ichirou had been investigating Kenji after he left the man's house that day in a rage, much to Kenji's displeasure. He had found the disposed bodies of Iwa slaves, scrawled with all manner of fuuin, modified by all manners of surgeries and contaminated with Kenji's chakra, and was ready to turn him in and have him face trial for his crimes. This was the turning point in Kenshi's life, the tipping point that sent him over the edge and into darkness forever. With his eyes filled with anger and his heart filled with rage, Kenji crushed his former mentor with a barrier, slamming him into the ground and silencing the frail old man forever. In silence he grabbed a few scrolls and began jotting down everything he could pertaining to all forms of knowledge, everything from Genma sealing techniques to the Jiongu Kinjutsu information were in his possession now. but Kenji knew he could no longer stay within Iwa after this. It was time to leave, he was done with these ignorant fools who feared the effects of knowledge.

Under cover of darkness Kenji ran through the village, as it didn't take too long for the Iwagakure shinobi to realize what had happened and they were hot on the Jounin's tail. He refrained from killing anyone as best he could, choosing only to subdue and slow down enemies with his barriers and fuuin explosions, making the terrain as difficult as he could by shattering it with explosions. Finally he made it to the Great wall of Iwa, running up the side with the Art of Tree climbing technique and across the mile long wall of stone. Finally he made it down the wall and thought he was finally free of the accursed village, only to find the two people he had hoped to not see: Kizaru and Tsukane. His parents, armed and ready to stop their son by any means necessary. The ensuing fight between them was painful for the man's parents, But to Kenji they were already dead. If they wanted to stop their son from fulfilling his ambitions, they were no parents of his.

Kenji's parents almost had him too, he was weakened from all of the techniques he had used to stop and slow down his pursuers, who would no doubt be there soon. They made one simple flaw though: they couldnt bring themselves to kill their son. Tsukane had a moment of hesitation, Which Kenji promptly took advantage of by throwing an explosive kunai towards her. Kizaru attempted to stop the Kunai with a barrier, but it was simply too weak and the kunai pierced through the barrier, embedding itself into Tsukane's chest. As the blood poured from the wound Kizaru rushed to her aid to try and remove the tag before their son detonated it, and the fool was caught in the ensuing explosion as Kenji Kai'd the seal, blowing them both to bits. Injured and fatigued from the fight, Kenji walked over to their mangled bodies and removed the Kunai from his mother's chest, then slowly took off his headband. The hunter nin who found the destroyed bodies of his parents found Kenji's last "present" to the two jounin: His forehead protector, left with a deep, clean slash through the symbol of Iwagakure layed in between the bodies of his parents. Kenji was a village ninja no more.

The next year of Kenji's life was spent on the run, constantly changing his location in the attempt to throw off any pursuers that may be following him from Iwagakure. He had spent the necessary time and energy to create small labs and safe houses in some of the minor countries, areas to perform his experiments and lay low from the hunters that may have come for him. Though he was unafraid and ready to take the lives of more Iwa ninja should they come for him, he didn't want to attract any more attention from the village. Once the coast was a bit more clear, Kenji would begin to take various steps towards realizing his goal of immortality.[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Ascension and Madness]Three years later, Kenji finally tracked down the origins of Jiongu to an unknown missing ninja, and after a fierce battle with him he was able to acquire the necessary specimens to further his experimentation. After a grueling month of preparation, Kenji performed the kinjutsu ritual, causing all of his blood, bones and organs save for his heart to be removed and replaced with thick black tendrils. Rising from death and reborn anew, Hiraku Kenji has transcended humanity.

The next step was to begin gathering hearts to add to his collection, and the first on his list was a shinobi who's skills were comparable to his own; Ouji, Sanjuku. Known for being able to bend space and time to his whims, Kenji approached the man in his own abode, massacring all of his underlings along the way. The battle between the two spanned both of their dimensions, but by the end of it, the two were in Sanjuku's realm. It was there that Kenji struck the man down and tore his heart from his chest... and there that Kenji was trapped. The moment the life left Sanjuku's body, a failsafe triggered within the real world; an artifact in the shape of a sundial created by Sanjuku to fuel chakra into the Ouji's realm, while simultaneously preventing anyone from leaving the realm... including Kenji

There was also another quality to this Realm of Sanjuku's; the passage of time was altered significantly. Years upon years were spent within Sanjuku's realm, day after day of solitude slowly drove Kenji to insanity... And after he was insane for about 80 years, even insanity became nothing to him. He finally understood what the concept of 'forever' felt like, if only a microscopically small understanding of what forever truly meant. He contemplated killing himself; after all, that was no doubt what this trap was meant to do; give Sanjuku a final laugh from the afterlife as his murderer rotted away in his realm for eternity.

But he didn't. He thought and theorized and worked and gained power, biding his time for the day he would escape the infinite hell that was Sanjuku's realm. And one day it happened; he outlasted the artifact, which finally ran out of chakra, resulting in Kenji being thrust back into the real world. After what felt like an eternity, Kenji learned the truth of what had happened; What he had thought was almost 200 years of time was, in reality, only two in the real world. That bastard's realm altered the passage of time so much that Kenji felt hundreds of years older for it. He had gone through a period of insanity, only to return to normal and become almost zen-like in his revelations.[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Death of the Queen, Birth of the Princess]Upon his return, the first order of business was to reconnect with his comrades, and his underling. Yaksha was no where to be found, faded into the ether as he always did, and Nehan was difficult to track, but he knew exactly where Akane was. After all, she was part of the reason he fought Sanjuku, and why he was trapped in that realm. He found her at their old hideout, a miserable wreck, falling apart at the seams in a literal sense as she simply didn't bother controlling her chakra to keep herself together. And her mind was as chaotic and damaged as her body, she had gone completely and totally insane in his absence.

A slap across the face proved to her he was really back, and in that moment of clarity Kenji shared with Akane the first expression of selflessness and love the man has ever had in his life. He cared for her, spoke to her softly, and even told her that he loved her. But he couldn't let her be that way, despite wanting to keep her with him. And so it was that he removed her core from her chest, ending her living hell and giving her the peace she wanted. He then detonated his old base, leaving behind nothing but a series of 3 graves; one for each of Akane's cohorts and one for Akane herself, each with an obsidian throwing knife as a gravestone.

He kept her core, however, and fashioned a statue in her likeness to keep in his realm. After her death, he deciphered her sacred brand band and learned of something she left in a samurai compound before her fateful meeting with Kenji years ago. Upon seeking this place out, he discovered that Akane had had a child without his knowledge... A child that was his. Suzume. And so the second act of selflessness would be commited; he spared her life, and intended to leave her alone to live as a samurai. However fate had other plans, and a man after Kenji's life tracked him to that dojo, leveling the entire place. Suzume made her way to Kenji, who proceeded to slaughter the opponents after her. At that point, he had no choice but to bring her along; she was safer with him then anywhere else. He taught her the ways of ninjutsu, which she took to like a sponge to water, and then caught wind of Nehan's whereabouts in Fire Country. Upon meeting up with her, he found her in a heated battle with none other than the Hokage of Konoha; Natsuki, Takeo. He lent his aid to Nehan and spoke with the Hokage, the two missing ninja taking their leave shortly after with little trouble.[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Failure and Ressurection]After retrieving Nehan, he decided it was time to make his intentions known. He would know all the world had to know, and would attain this knowledge by any means necessary. It was then that Chishiki was born, a criminal organization devoted to the acquisition of Information. Leading the group, Kenji seeks to fulfill his goals and learn all that there is to know... But as is always the case with those who seek knowledge, sometimes the price paid is too great. After performing a ritual in an attempt to send himself years back in time, his body fell apart, and for many years it was thought that Kenji was dead. His daughter left to pursue her own machinations, Nehan was loose and uncontrolled, and many assumed that The Thing that Should Not Be had finally vanished from this world...

Were it so easy.

His heart remained, and within that heart, Kenji's essence still existed. Hardly conscious or aware, the time that passed felt like an eternity to him, though this was nothing abnormal for a being like Kenji. Eventually, a disturbance could be felt throughout his realm. Intruders... A missing ninja of incredible power who sought to plunder Kenji's realm for it's wealth of knowledge. And plunder he did, taking many of his findings for himself... But among these curios was Kenji's heart. The heart sensed chakra, it wanted to consume, to feed... But it couldn't. This one was too powerful for him in his current state. He would have to lay low, like a rat, and bide his time...

The heart was sold on the black market as a rare curio, a relic from the personal realm of a madman. It found it's way from hand to hand, buyer to buyer, each hand that touched it was either too strong or too weak. But finally, it found it's way to a merchant, and when the merchant's son took hold of the heart, he felt it's power coursing within. While no one else watched, the heart pulsed a single time; a sign of life. Over time, the boy grew attached to the macabre artifact, and in the silence of the night he would speak to it like a friend. And in turn, the heart responded, molding and corrupting the boy with it's foul influence. Until the day his father claimed he had found a buyer for the heart...

On the eve before the heart was due to be sold, Kenji's essence urged the boy to act; In a few flashes of steel, the boy murdered his own family in cold blood and dashed into the forests with only the heart in hand. And now that the boy had spilled blood, he was ready... Tendrils, moving with the speed of lightning, dug deep into the boy's flesh. His cries of agony lasted only moments as the tendrils wormed their way through his form, empyting his body of organ, sinew and bone. Even the boy's own heart was discarded, leaving behind nothing but a sack of skin... a new vessel for Kenji's heart. With a gasp of relief, Kenji rose in his new form, that of a 12 year old boy, and realized how little of his former power he still retained. He would not be able to reveal himself to the world again, not yet... He'd have to remain incognito until he was strong again, until he was ready to reveal himself to the world once more...

Until the God of Chakra was ready to retake his throne.[/spoiler][/spoiler]

Has all thats changed is the one slot? IF not I need an itemized list of changes.

[TyDie]

aside from the 1 slot loss and updating jutsu to match the new system's rules and stats and such (He was last updated back when we still had nin, gen and tai stats)

I haven't thought of a way to update the staff yet, given that we can't restore chakra via means outside of an ability. Give me a little time to think on that.

[TheLacarix]

Issue is Ty, this mod is simply too big. As a note, 'when doing a modification for jutsus please note that you may only have up to 75 points worth of jutsu or 25 jutsus, which ever comes first.'

Your weapon alone takes a huge amount of work, this will need breaking up.

[TyDie]

I was told to put this in modifications as it's essentially a "reactivation" of Kenji, but i'm using the Take Over system to bring him back from death. I'm aware of the normal rules regarding modifications, but this isn't a normal mod; it's essentially a whole new character. You can't expect me to shave off practically 90% of my jutsu and put them all back in installments, that's insane.

If you want to move this to Registration instead, that's fine with me. But I don't think it's fair to ask me to break this up. I understand it's big, he's a very long lived character, but i'm sure we can make it through this together guys <3

[TheLacarix]

It's also not fair to ask ua to go through this entire mod, we had a big problem with the revamps. As there was so much to go through some stuff slipped through. It will need to be broken up into sections, the limit is 75 points or 25 jutsu a mod. Revamp or not.

Thems the rules

[TyDie]

As per conversations over the discord, I have removed all jutsu from the app for the time being. Rather than adding them as a point value, I'll simply ask that his first post be updade with the new coding upon acceptance, and his other posts be left alone for now. I will post additional mods going forward to update his jutsu one style at a time.
