[spoiler=Taijutsu][spoiler=Flawless Aim]This style of combat is favored by shinobi preferring to use projectiles, often serving as a staple for ranged taijutsu users. Focusing on the synergy between their hands and senses, they strive to make their lethal skills reach as far as possible with absolute precision.
[b]Requires:[/b] [i][Projectile Weapons] Concentration[/i]
[spoiler=Maneuvers]*[b][color=blueviolet][Flawless Aim Style • Repeater Shot][/color][/b]
D-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
Preparing multiple projectiles, the practitioner launches each of the projectiles at one or more targets. For each target beyond the first, the accuracy of each of the attacks is decreased, suffering a -1 Strength penalty for each additional target.
*[b][color=blueviolet][Flawless Aim Style • Arcing Shot][/color][/b]
D-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
The practitioner can launch projectiles in arcs up and over most obstacles, being able to accurately hit a target that is behind obstructions as if they were in the open. The practitioner must still be able to locate their target by some other means to ensure the projectile will hit its target.
*[b][color=blueviolet][Flawless Aim Style • Bouncing Shot][/color][/b]
D-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
The practitioner launches a projectile at a shallow angle, targeting the ground or a hard surface. The shallow angle of the shot causes the projectile to bounce off of the surface, moving at -1 Speed and striking with -1 Strength after the bounce. This technique can be used to launch an attack from an unexpected angle or to shoot around, over, or under obstacles.
*[b][color=blueviolet][Flawless Aim Style • Hidden Shot][/color][/b]
C-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
By launching two projectiles, one immediately after the other, the practitioner attempts to create a decoy for the second. The first projectile is often larger or of equal size, and the second projectile is slightly behind and below it, the second projectile hiding in the first projectile's shadow. This masks the second projectile and makes it more difficult for the opponent to completely avoid. Opponents with a Perception technique equal or higher in rank may be able to see both projectiles clearly within a reasonable distance, though they'll still have to properly defend against it.
*[b][color=blueviolet][Flawless Aim Style • Twisting Path][/color][/b]
C-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
Preparing a projectile, the practitioner launches the weapon with a slight tailspin, causing the flight path of the weapon to warp as it travels. The practitioner uses this slight change in the projectile's trajectory to hit a variety of targets that could not be targeted by normal means. This can be used to hit a target that is hiding behind another person or object, particularly useful against opponents behind human shields.
*[b][color=blueviolet][Flawless Aim Style • Sweeping Shot][/color][/b]
C-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
Momentarily crouching, the practitioner launches one or more projectiles in a low arc, the weapon(s) flying close to the ground before arcing up in a single direction when approaching the target. If the practitioner launches more than one projectile, their trajectories can cross over each other, making it difficult for the opponent to ascertain which projectile will rise up to strike them first.
*[b][color=blueviolet][Flawless Aim Style • Intercepting Shot][/color][/b]
B-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
The practitioner is able to launch a projectile in the direct path of an oncoming solid mass attack (i.e. Doton). If the Strength of this projectile meets or exceeds the Strength of the attack it is clashing against, the attack is deflected away from the practitioner. If the projectile is only slightly weaker than the attack (-5 Strength or less), the attack is still partially deflected, though the practitioner must supplement their defense with other techniques or movements to fully avoid the attack. The practitioner must still be able to detect and track the attack in order to defend against it.
*[b][color=blueviolet][Flawless Aim Style • Advanced Hidden Shot][/color][/b]
B-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
[b]Prerequisite(s):[/b] [i]*[color=blueviolet][Flawless Aim Style • Hidden Shot][/color][/i].
Building upon the principles found in the Hidden Shot technique, the practitioner launches two or more projectiles, the first projectile serving as the leading projectile and subsequent projectiles in the previous projectile's shadows. These projectiles can be launched in complex twisting trajectories, allowing both leading and subsequent projectiles to slip in and out of the other projectile's shadows. This makes it more difficult for the opponent to determine both the actual number of projectiles as well as their targeting paths and the order in which they will strike, making the attacks difficult to avoid. Opponents with a Perception technique equal or higher in rank may be able to see the projectiles clearly within a reasonable distance, though they'll still have to properly defend against it.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Stances][/spoiler]
[spoiler=Disciplines]*[b][color=blueviolet][Flawless Aim Style • Rapid Reload][/color][/b]
D-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
After years of training, the practitioner has learned how to quickly and accurately access their ranged weapon stores at all times in combat. This cuts the effective "reload" time by half, up to a maximum speed equal to the practitioner's Speed score. This also applies to returning unused projectiles to their storage containers or switching between types of projectile weaponry.
*[b][color=blueviolet][Flawless Aim Style • Tracking][/color][/b]
D-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
After much training and study, the practitioner has learned how to read an opponent's movements and adjust their aim accordingly to compensate without penalty. This Discipline allows the practitioner to accurately hit moving targets, though sudden changes in the opponent's movements will still affect accuracy.
*[b][color=blueviolet][Flawless Aim Style • Dead Angle Targeting][/color][/b]
D-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
After much training and study, the practitioner has learned how to use projectiles at close range, even point-blank range, with the same Strength as attacks against more distant targets. This Discipline allows the practitioner to use Flawless Aim techniques against melee-range targets without excessive exposure to counterattack and without losing Speed, Strength, or accuracy.
*[b][color=blueviolet][Flawless Aim Style • Evasive Maneuvers][/color][/b]
C-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
The practitioner has learned how to accurately launch projectiles while moving through the flow of combat. This Discipline represents the practitioner's ability to accurately launch projectiles while moving at full Speed, while jumping, rolling, sliding off the ground, or while performing other basic combat movements.
*[b][color=blueviolet][Flawless Aim Style • Improvised Ammo][/color][/b]
C-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
The practitioner knows their own reliance on ammunition can be exploited by the enemy and prepare themselves to acclimate to less than favorable circumstances. This Discipline represents the practitioner's ability to effectively launch any item, so long as it possesses at least the mass of a standard kunai, as if it were meant to be a projectile weapon without sacrificing accuracy. Attacks using improvised weaponry suffer a decrease in Strength, all such attacks being treated as having -3 Strength.
*[b][color=blueviolet][Flawless Aim Style • Uncanny Shot][/color][/b]
B-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
After much training and study, the practitioner is able to launch projectiles from previously impossible positions. This Discipline represents the practitioner's ability to launch projectile attacks without any detriment to their aim regardless of the position of their body. This includes while contorting their body or making rapid adjustments such as dodging attacks or performing acrobatic maneuvers.
*[b][color=blueviolet][Flawless Aim Style • Blind Sight][/color][/b]
B-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
After much training and study, the practitioner no longer needs to rely on their sense of sight, instead using their other senses to locate and attack targets. This Discipline represents the practitioner's ability to launch attacks at targets that may be behind, above, to their sides, or even behind terrain without sacrificing any accuracy without having a line of sight on their opponents. This Discipline does not allow the practitioner to ignore terrain or obstructions, merely allowing them to account for those factors when aiming and launching projectiles.
*[b][color=blueviolet][Flawless Aim Style • Absolute Aim][/color][/b]
A-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Having mastered the art of ranged combat, the practitioner is capable of calculating all outside factors before launching their projectiles. Ambient factors such as temperature, winds, moisture, any terrain, and even lack of sight on their target can not hinder their aim. So long as they have a means of detecting the location of their opponent and no impassible objects or unavoidable defenses stand in their way, the practitioner's attacks will strike their target with pinpoint accuracy without fail. Living targets must have a Perception technique equal or higher in rank to be able to dodge the practitioner's attacks without some sort of additional defense.[/spoiler][/spoiler]
[spoiler=Toryu]Toryu, a style of Kenjutsu founded in the Land of Pebbles, melds traditional kenjutsu swordplay with subversive feints and sudden bursts of close quarters combat, two unyielding hills crashing together to form a mountain. Toryu typically favors use of the blade with one hand, utilizing the freedom of movement to use one's hands, joints, legs, head, and even the hilt and handle of the sword to make an already deadly style more unpredictable and more lethal. Ignorantly considered a very "unrefined" style by most practitioners of the sword, Toryu is actually one of the most difficult styles of Kenjutsu to learn and master. The very basic premise of the style revolves around the firm control and manipulation of one's own movements and body, some techniques requiring execution while using another attack as a feint or misdirection while not sacrificing strength. The style has no weapon requirements outside of a sword, but many users often prefer kodachi, wakizashi, ninjato, or even tanto, the reduced size and weight of the blades having fewer blindspots and making the user's weapon more mobile.
[b]Requires:[/b] [i][Close Quarters Combat], [Sword Weapons] Concentrations[/i].
[spoiler=Disciplines]*[b][color=#b23a22][Toryu • Cobblestone Skeleton][/color][/b]
D-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
[b]Prerequisite(s):[/b] [i]8 Strength[/i].
A practitioner of Toryu is capable of attacking with every part of their body, even their heads. This Discipline represents the practitioner's capacity and experience with executing palm strikes, heel strikes, knee strikes, elbow strikes, and headbutts/skull bashes just as effectively as regular punches, kicks, and sword strikes. This Discipline allows the practitioner to consistently execute these kinds of attacks while minimizing or eliminating openings in their defenses or shock/damage they would experience while using these kinds of strikes.
*[b][color=#b23a22][Toryu • Lethal Familiarity][/color][/b]
C-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Many of the Toryu techniques would put the user in incredibly daring positions where a single mistake could instantly spell disaster for the swordsman. As a result, Toryu practitioners must train themselves constantly to avoid letting their fears distract them from their task. A practitioner with this technique has learned to shut out fear in the heat of combat, allowing them to perform attacks and techniques without the risk of failure due to fear responses.
*[b][color=#b23a22][Toryu • Granite Epitaph][/color][/b]
B-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
[b]Prerequisite(s):[/b] [i]25 Strength[/i].
After much training with grappling, clinching, blocking, deflecting, and parrying weapons, the practitioner gains skin as sturdy as rock, allowing them even more avenues for defense and attack. This Discipline represent's the practitioner's body conditioning for toughening their skin all over their bodies, especially on their hands. This makes the practitioner's skin harder to cut or penetrate, and it allows the practitioner to perform normally self-destructive feats, such as blade catches, without needlessly harming themselves.
*[b][color=#b23a22][Toryu • Searching For Hope][/color][/b]
A-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
[b]Prerequisite(s):[/b] *[i][color=#b23a22][Toryu • Granite Epitaph][/color][/I]
Extending additional uses to the body conditioning of the hands, Toryu practitioners are skilled in parrying and deflecting attacks with their bare hands. This Discipline represents the practitioner’s capacity to defend against weapon attacks with their hands whenever they wish to do so. This is executed by placing their palms against the flat of the blade or around a non-damaging section of the weapon and pushing or deflecting the weapon away. This Discipline is ineffective against weapon attacks with a higher Strength than the practitioner's Strength stat.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Stances]*[b][color=#b23a22][Toryu • Skipping Stone][/color][/b]
D-Rank Taijutsu Stance
The signature Stance of Toryu, practitioners relax the muscles in their bodies, gaining additional flexibility in their movements in how they approach the enemy, how they retreat, how they evade attacks, and how they attack the opponent. This Stance allows the practitioner to more easily read opponent's attacks and defend against them by evading in unusual ways, such as ducking, bending around, and quickly sidestepping attacks without needlessly exposing themselves to additional attacks. This fleet-footed Stance lets the practitioner mix up their movements to confuse and misdirect the opponent, allowing them to attack lesser known openings in the opponent's guard. It also allows the practitioner to rapidly and reflexively change the angle, position and grip of their weapon with minimal movement, allowing them multiple manners in which they can attack the opponent or defend against attacks.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Maneuvers]*[b][color=#b23a22][Toryu • Dust Eater][/color][/b]
D-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
The practitioner moves in and initiates a feint in the form of a thrust. Part way through the thrust, however, the practitioner twists their arm to the side and drops low, rotating and lashing out with a spinning low kick, attempting to sweep the opponent's feet out from under them. Properly reading this attack requires the opponent to have a Perception Technique equal to or higher in rank.
*[b][color=#b23a22][Toryu • Falling Stone][/color][/b]
D-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
Moving in to launch either an unarmed attack or an attack with their blade, the practitioner will launch a simultaneous unarmed attack or weapon attack with their other hand, bringing their fist or the pommel/butt of their weapon to slam into the opponent's guard, targeting their hands or wrists. Opponents with an Endurance stat higher than the practitioner's Strength stat can resist having their guard be disrupted. Otherwise, the practitioner slams the opponent's guard aside, potentially allowing the original attack to strike the opponent directly.
*[b][color=#b23a22][Toryu • Sinking Quicksand][/color][/b]
D-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
[b]Prerequisite(s):[/b] [i]8 Strength[/i].
One of Toryu's many grappling techniques, the practitioner steps in close to the opponent, slamming their heel into the opponent's foot to lock the target in place. In the same movement, the practitioner grabs the opponent's arm and flips them over their back, slamming them to the ground. The prone position this leaves the opponent in leaves them exposed to an attack of opportunity from the practitioner's weapon after executing this technique.
*[b][color=#b23a22][Toryu • Sundering Gravel][/color][/b]
D-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
[b]Prerequisite(s):[/b] [i]8 Strength[/i].
Designed as a counterattack but also a potent attack by itself, the practitioner will first wait to block or parry an opponent's attack with their weapon. Then, the practitioner will quickly counter with a swift knee strike to the opponent's stomach or diaphragm to stun them or cause them to stagger by winding them, followed by a quick slash or stab to their chest or stomach. The practitioner may choose to use this as an attack instead by immediately leading off with the knee strike if they so wish.
*[b][color=#b23a22][Toryu • Pebble Split][/color][/b]
D-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
[b]Prerequisite(s):[/b] [i]8 Strength[/i].
Designed as a counterattack but also a potent attack by itself, the practitioner will first wait to sidestep an attack before countering with a swift elbow strike with their sword hand to the opponent's face to stun them or cause them to stagger by winding them, grabbing the opponent's arm or garment with their unarmed hand to hold them in place. Immediately following the elbow strike, the practitioner will pull the opponent to one side while executing a slash in the opposite direction with their sword hand.
*[b][color=#b23a22][Toryu • Fury Guard][/color][/b]
C-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
A technique allowing the practitioner to partially customize their focus on defense or offense, the practitioner guards against attacks while immediately attacking subsequent openings with their free hand. The form this takes depends on which hand they prioritize for defense. Should they choose to guard with their sword hand, the practitioner deflects the attacks outwards, away from the opponent's center of mass where their guard is strongest, and responds by launching unarmed counter attacks like a punch, elbow, or throw. If they choose to guard with their unarmed hand, the practitioner blocks the attack by intercepting the haft of the weapon or the opponent's wrists with the back of their fist or forearm and counter with more lethal slashes and stabs from their sword.
*[b][color=#b23a22][Toryu • Misery Drop][/color][/b]
C-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
[b]Prerequisite(s):[/b] [i]15 Strength[/i].
A variant of the Spite Breaker, the practitioner rushes the opponent and leaps at them, spinning and attempting to land on their shoulders, clinching their legs around the opponent's neck. Should the practitioner succeed, they will forcefully shift all of their weight back, potentially unbalancing the opponent. Opponents with an Endurance stat higher than the user can resist having their guard be disrupted. Otherwise, the opponent will be suddenly thrown back and flipped down before slamming face first into the ground. The practitioner can roll up onto the opponent's back with this motion, offering a clean stab down into the back of the opponent's skull to finish them off.
*[b][color=#b23a22][Toryu • Crushing Despair][/color][/b]
C-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
[b]Prerequisite(s):[/b] [i]15 Strength[/i], *[i][color=#b23a22][Toryu • Cobblestone Skeleton][/color][/i].
A brutal, raw technique, the practitioner quickly dashes into an opponent's range, often after avoiding an enemy attack, momentarily torquing the muscles in their legs before launching a powerful knee strike directly up into the target's diaphragm and sternum in an attempt to stagger the opponent. Aside from potentially fracturing or even breaking bones, the opponent can potentially be left winded. This sudden attack can potentially open up many vulnerable areas on the opponent's body for possible finishing moves.
*[b][color=#b23a22][Toryu • Grim Kamikaze][/color][/b]
B-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
[b]Prerequisite(s):[/b] [i]Strength stat must be equal to or higher than Speed stat[/i].
A difficult technique designed to use the opponent's own forward moment against them, the practitioner waits until the opponent begins advancing. Then, waiting for the opponent to launch an attack, the practitioner throws themselves bodily into the opponent before the attack is executed, slamming into the opponent and potentially stunning them. Then, momentarily torquing the muscles in their body, the practitioner grabs the opponent's arm and releases that energy into a violent downward flip that accelerates the throw to the practitioner's max Speed. The practitioner drops to one knee to finish the throw right in front of them, cratering their opponent as they immediately bring their blade down to stab the opponent in the chest, neck, or head. This technique can be used as its own attack or as a counterattack.
*[b][color=#b23a22][Toryu • Gripping Eulogy][/color][/b]
B-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
[b]Prerequisite(s):[/b] *[i][color=#b23a22][Toryu • Granite Epitaph][/color][/i].
Varying in usefulness depending on the practitioner's position in relation to the opponent or the reach of the opponent's weapon, the practitioner places themselves slightly offset to one side in the path of an opponent's attack. The practitioner then attempts to catch the opponent's blade or weapon, latching on tightly at the weapon's dullest point. If the practitioner catches the opponent's weapon, and if the practitioner's Strength stat is higher than their opponent's Strength stat the practitioner can immediately yank the weapon from the opponent's grip, disarming them.
*[b][color=#b23a22][Toryu • Remorseless Burial][/color][/b]
B-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
[b]Prerequisite(s):[/b] [i]25 Strength[/i].
Used both as a regular aggressive attack or as a counterattack, the practitioner will grab one of the opponent's arms with their unarmed hand. At the same time, the practitioner will bring their sword hand, holding the blade in a reverse grip, and bodily slam their fist into the opponent's throat. Immediately dropping down during the execution of the punch, the opponent is cratered into the ground and potentially stunned, allowing the practitioner to quickly slit the opponent's throat and finish the match.
*[b][color=#b23a22][Toryu • Widow Maker][/color][/b]
B-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
[b]Prerequisite(s):[/b] [i]25 Strength, Strength Stat must be equal to or higher than Speed stat[/i].
A technique both used as an attack on its own or as a counterattack, the practitioner rushes in close to the opponent and feints a slash by crossing their arms together. Instead, however, the practitioner momentarily torques the muscles in their arms and violently rams their head upwards into the opponent's chin, potentially stunning them. Almost immediately after delivering the headbutt, the practitioner released the tension in their muscles, pushing out the sword arm with their unarmed hand, resulting in a slash that immediately accelerates to the practitioner's maximum Speed, often fatally wounding the opponent as the blade slashes through muscle, bone, major vessels, and organs. Opponents with a higher Willpower than the user's Strength can resist being stunned.
*[b][color=#b23a22][Toryu • Desperate Assault][/color][/b]
A-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
[b]Prerequisite(s):[/b] [i]Strength stat must be equal to or higher than Speed stat[/i].
A full-committal technique, the practitioner momentarily torques every muscle in their body as they evade an opponent's attack(s). As soon as an opportunity presents itself, the practitioner releases the tension and bursts forward instantly, immediately accelerating to their maximum speed. In quick succession, the practitioner starts by slipping their foot between the opponent's legs and behind one of their knees to cut off escape and compromise the opponent's balance. Next, the practitioner hooks their arm around the opponent's elbow and put pressure on the outside of the joint, forcing the arm to hyper-extend and expose their center of mass. Finally, in that short moment, the practitioner brings their sword to pierce any one of the opponent's vital organs or their aorta, though most practitioners aim for the heart. This technique is not without risk, as an opponent with an equal or higher Strength stat than the practitioner Strength stat will be able to resist the practitioner's clinches and possibly even counterattack.
*[b][color=#b23a22][Toryu • Charge of the Faithful][/color][/b]
A-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
[b]Prerequisite(s):[/b] [i]35 Strength[/i].
The practitioner will momentarily torque the muscles in their legs as they brace themselves against the earth. Then, the practitioner will rocket forth in a dash towards the opponent, the force of their movement causing a localized earthquake within a number of meters equal to the practitioner's Strength. The earthquake rocks the ground with a force equivalent to 2/3 the practitioner's Strength stat, rounded down. Opponents with lesser Strength than the Strength of the earthquake are stumbled, the movements of the ground preventing them from moving as they're unable to hold themselves up. The practitioner then slams into the opponent with a charging attack. This charging attack will knock any opponent with a lower Strength than the practitioner's Strength up to ten meters away aside from causing significant damage. The practitioner can choose what form this attacks takes, such as a punch, kick, knee, elbow strike, headbutt, shoulder charge, etc.[/spoiler][/spoiler]
[spoiler=Iaido]The samurai of the Land of Tea have produced a unique style of Kenjutsu called Iaido. Unlike other styles, which rely on the sword being drawn to attack, a practitioner of Iaido is always ready to attack their opponents, even when their weapon is sheathed in its scabbard. Known as a "sword drawing" technique, Iaido uses the smooth, linear motion of pulling the sword from its sheath to create abnormally fast slashes and strikes against often ignorant and unsuspecting opponents. Though the katana is preferred for this style, any curved sword single-edged sword with a complimenting scabbard is compatible with this style. Their ability to fight with both traditional swordplay and hand-to-hand combat while perfectly capable of switching to quick slashes and stabs using Iaido's hallmark techniques makes practitioners of this style unpredictable fighters.
[b]Requires:[/b] [i][Sword Weapons][/i], [i][Perception][/i] Concentrations.
[spoiler=Disciplines]*[b][color=#8B658B][Iaido • Ancestral Focus][/color][/b]
D-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
The hallmark of Iaido is its practitioners abilities to launch an attack even when their swords are sheathed. This Discipline represents the practitioner's capacity to consistently execute a sword draw and slash all in one movement by gripping the edge of the scabbard and pulling the scabbard slightly forward before drawing the sword. This Discipline enables the practitioner to immediately draw their sword and attack at the start of combat.
*[b][color=#8B658B][Iaido • Weapon Mastery][/color][/b]
D-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Since Iaido is a style that prioritizes speed over brute strength, wise usage of the blade is paramount to the practitioner's success in the style. This Discipline represents the practitioner's knowledge of their weapon's strengths and weaknesses in combat, allowing them to use the weapon more efficiently both inside and outside of its use in Iaido techniques and avoid unnecessarily presenting their weapon's blind spots to the opponent.
*[b][color=#8B658B]*[Iaido • One with the Sheath][/color][/b]
D-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
[b]Prerequisite(s):[/b] [i]8 Speed.[/i]
The practitioner has learned how to more quickly and efficiently sheath his blades. The practitioner can now seamlessly transition from drawing their blade to slash to sheathing their blade, allowing the practitioner to sheath their sword in half the time, up to a maximum speed equal to their Speed score, for the more rapid execution of Iaido techniques.
*[b][color=#8B658B][Iaido • Shinigami Draw][/color][/b]
C-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Losing the use of one's hand or arm in a fight can be a death sentence, but Iaido has found a simple, elegant response to this desperate situation. Using their free hand, the practitioner momentarily braces the edge of their sword against the inside of the scabbard before drawing. While it does not confer the instant acceleration benefit of its parent technique, this Discipline does allow the practitioner to use Iaido techniques at their normal speed even with only one hand.
*[b][color=#8B658B][Iaido • One with the Sword][/color][/b]
C-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
[b]Prerequisite(s):[/b] *[color=#8B658B][i][Iaido • One with the Sheath].[/i][/color]
The practitioner has learned how to more quickly and efficiently sheath his blades even without the use of both hands. The practitioner can now sheath the blade just as quickly with one hand as could be done with two hands, and so long as the scabbard remains on their person, the practitioner will always have an exact knowledge of the position of their scabbard.
*[b][color=#8B658B][Iaido • Ancestral Visage][/color][/b]
C-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Using Iaido to its fullest requires a keen eye and quick reactions, enabling its users to target weaknesses and openings that their opponents present almost instantaneously. This Discipline represents the practitioner's ability to attack openings that present themselves, the practitioner now able to reflexively attack an opening in almost the same moment that it is observed. This Discipline reduces the gap of time between a practitioner recognizing a potential opening for attack and launching the attack to exploit said opening to almost nil.
*[b][color=#8B658B][Iaido • One with the Spirit][/color][/b]

[b]Prerequisite(s):[/b] *[color=#8B658B][i][Iaido • One with the Sheath][/i][/color], *[color=#8B658B][i][Iaido • One with the Sword].[/i][/color]
Through incredible amounts of practice, the practitioner of Iaido has learned his weapon and its housing inside and out. The user of this weapon can now reflexively sheath their sword in its scabbard almost instantaneously by instinct with either one hand or both hands without even looking. This facilitates further use of other Iaido techniques.
*[b][color=#8B658B][Iaido • Spectral Flight][/color][/b]
B-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
[b]Prerequisite(s):[/b] [i]15 Strength, 25 Speed, [/i] *[color=#8B658B][i][Iaido • Ancestral Visage].[/i][/color]
In order for Iaido to stand toe to toe with a variety of high-level opponents, refining fundamentals to a new height is necessary. This Discipline represents the practitioner's ability to more quickly accelerate to max movement speed and decelerate to a full stop at a moment's notice. This does not offer protection against attacks that the practitioner does not know is coming.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Stances]*[b][color=#8B658B][Iaido • Shinigami’s Gaze][/color][/b]
A-Rank Taijutsu Stance
[b]Prerequisite(s):[/b] [i]30 Speed, [/i] *[color=#8B658B][i][Iaido • Ancestral Visage].[/i][/color]
Taking a deep breath and regulating their breathing, the practitioner assumes a crouched stance, leaning forward slightly as their sword hand hovers over the hilt of their blade, the scabbard's edge firmly gripped with their opposing hand. Forcing external distractions out of the mind such as pain, fatigue, and non-critical environmental distractions, the practitioner directs all of their focus onto a single opponent, dropping themselves into a trance called the Theta state. The Theta state allows the practitioner to react almost instinctively to each action of the opponent. These reactions happen so quickly that a proficient user of this stance can commonly interrupt or counter an opponent's actions with a movement or slash before they even finish it. This stance will constantly drain the practitioner while in use, and it is both ineffective and dangerous to use when fighting multiple opponents. If the opponent has a Perception Technique equal or higher in ranking this technique is rendered useless.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Maneuvers]*[b][color=#8B658B][Iaido • Last Breath][/color][/b]
D-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
The most iconic (and most basic) strike of Iaido, the practitioner quickly draws and cuts with their blade in a wide arc in one fluid motion. This simultaneous draw and attack straight from the scabbard makes Iaido well-suited for an initial surprise attack and for taking advantage of openings presented by the opponent.
*[b][color=#8B658B][Iaido • Mantra][/color][/b]
D-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
A simple yet potent defense, especially against other weapons users, the practitioner partially draws the sword from its scabbard and blocks incoming attacks with the back of their blade. This technique is ineffective against opponents with higher Strength than the practitioner's Strength.
*[b][color=#8B658B][Iaido • Last Rites][/color][/b]
D-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
A defensive technique particularly useful when an opponent is close to the practitioner or is clinching them in a grapple, the practitioner grabs the hilt of their sword with a reverse grip and rams the butt or pommel of the hilt into the opponent's body, pushing the opponent back a number of meters equal to the difference between their Strength scores. Conversely, against opponents with higher Strength than their own, the practitioner can use this technique to push themselves back a number of meters equal to their own Strength score. The speed and simplicity of the attack can push opponents away and give the practitioner the needed space to set up additional attacks.
*[b][color=#8B658B][Iaido • Clouding Eyes][/color][/b]
D-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
[b]Prerequisite(s):[/b] [i]8 Speed.[/i]
A simple technique meant to cripple the target's vision, the practitioner draws the sword from its scabbard and aims a quick slash at the eyes. This technique can be done in any single direction to either target one or both of the opponent's eyes.
*[b][color=#8B658B][Iaido • Fading Touch][/color][/b]
D-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
[b]Prerequisite(s):[/b] [i]8 Speed.[/i]
An extension of the disabling effects of Clouding Eyes, the practitioner draws the sword from the scabbard and slashes at the opponent's arms or elbows. Landing this technique can sever the muscles and tendons connecting in their arm, rendering the opponent's arm useless. This penalty lasts until the opponent is able to receive medical attention.

An extension of the disabling effects of Clouding Eyes, the practitioner draws the sword from its scabbard and slashes at the back of the opponent's leg, severing the muscles and tendons responsible for walking and supporting their weight., rendering the opponent unable to walk on the targeted leg. This penalty lasts until the opponent is able to receive medical attention.

C-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
A technique used to capitalize on the superior speed of Iaido, the practitioner momentarily braces the edge of their sword against the inside of the scabbard, holding the edge of the scabbard firmly with their other hand. The practitioner then drives that force forward, which results in a quick slash of the blade that immediately accelerates to the practitioner's top Speed. Though powerful, this move is not without risk, as sheathing the blade may take longer than normal after using it due to the commitment this technique requires.
*[b][color=#8B658B][Iaido • Death’s Passage][/color][/b]
C-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
This technique is particularly useful against opponents with a strong defense or some sort of natural armor. The practitioner draws their sword from its scabbard and slashes the opponent, which is followed by an immediate second slash in the exact opposite direction before the blade is immediately sheathed. The practitioner can choose to target the same spot to make a deeper cut or to target a different area instead. They may also choose to attack a second target with this technique instead.

C-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
[b]Prerequisite(s):[/b] [i]15 Speed.[/i]
Drawing upon the superlative speed of Iaido, the practitioner momentarily torques the muscles in their body to draw their sword from its scabbard and deliver a blindingly fast slash before sheathing their blade. Properly reading this attack requires the opponent to have a Perception Technique equal or higher in ranking than this technique for this to be rendered useless. Otherwise, they cannot accurately read the attack and will be unlikely to completely avoid the attack, if at all.
*[b][color=#8B658B][Iaido • Peace in Death][/color][/b]
C-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
[b]Prerequisite(s):[/b] [i]15 Speed.[/i]
An abnormally aggressive technique in Iaido, this technique serves as a preemptive counter, attacking the opponent in the split moment between drawing back to prepare an attack and launching said attack. Violently torquing the muscles in their legs, the practitioner more quickly accelerates to their maximum speed (or instantly accelerating to their max speed if their Strength is equal or higher than their Speed) than with normal movement. With this movement, the practitioner bolts toward the opponent and launches an attack, cutting the opponent as they pass to their side. This technique can be used while moving to immediately change direction instead before launching the attack. This technique is ineffective against opponent's with Speed stats higher than the practitioner's Speed stat.

C-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
[b]Prerequisite(s):[/b] [i]15 Speed, [/i] *[color=#8B658B][i][Iaido • Mantra].[/i][/color]
Making use of the trademark speed of Iaido to intercept enemy attacks, the practitioner draws their blade in a wide arc. This defensive slash allows the practitioner to deflect projectiles and clash with an opponent's weapon. Additionally, so long as the practitioner's Speed is equal to or higher than the opponent's Speed, this technique can be used to intercept and interrupt an opponent's technique or attack by striking the weapon or an area of the opponent's body before the attack reaches maximum strength and staggering them.

A technique further refining the concept of targeting multiple opponents with a single draw, the practitioner uses their sheath hand to reverse grip the hilt. Using the one hand, the practitioner quickly torques their body and cuts with a reverse hand slash a full 360 degrees before immediately sheathing the blade. This technique can strike multiple opponents at once, and the reverse grip of the sword allows the practitioner to more easily defend against counterattacks immediately after.

B-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
[b]Prerequisite(s):[/b] *[color=#8B658B][i][Iaido • Death’s Gates].[/i][/color]
Unlike most of Iaido's techniques, Silent Passing is not particularly useful in the heat of combat. Instead, it is an attack meant to be executed from a standing position, such as while casually walking towards an opponent. Once in close enough proximity to the opponent, the practitioner draws their sword, strikes the opponent's opening, and sheaths their blade with such speed, it appears to the untrained eye that the practitioner continued to simply walk past their target. Properly reading this attack requires the opponent to have a Perception Technique equal to or higher in rank. Otherwise, the opponent will not be capable of fully avoiding this attack if they are in range without some sort of passive defense.

Building upon the premise established by the Snap Draw technique, this technique now makes it possible to use the technique against opponents at greater distances. Drawing upon the superlative speed of Iaido, the practitioner momentarily torques the muscles in their body to instantly accelerate to their maximum speed. Dashing a number of meters equal to the practitioner's Strength, they draw their sword from its scabbard and deliver a blindingly fast slash before resheathing their blade. Properly reading this attack requires the opponent to have a Perception Technique equal to or higher in rank. Otherwise, the opponent cannot accurately read the attack and will be unlikely to completely avoid the attack, if at all.
*[b][color=#8B658B][Iaido • Phantom Funeral][/color][/b]
B-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
[b]Prerequisite(s):[/b] [i]35 Speed.[/i]
The superlative speed of Iaido is harnessed to attain seemingly supernatural feats. By momentarily torquing the muscles in their arms, the practitioner manages slashes so fast that they spawn vacuum blades that follow the trajectory of their original attack. This attack spawns a single vacuum blade that travels up to a number of meters equal to half the practitioner's Speed, rounded down, and hits with 1/2 the strength of the original attack, rounded down. If this this technique is used in tangent with a melee attack, the vacuum blade strikes immediately after the original attack is finished, potentially sealing the opponent's guard and creating an opening. This technique can be used in conjunction with other techniques.

B-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
[b]Prerequisite(s):[/b] [i]35 Speed,[/i] *[color=#8B658B][i][Iaido • One with the Sheath].[/i][/color]
An unorthodox application of Iaido, the practitioner quickly draws their sword and then immediately sheaths the blade with all of their strength, slamming the tsuba against the scabbard. This high speed sheathing technique, known as notojutsu, causes a hypersonic wave to shoot out for a number of meters equal to 1/2 the practitioner's Strength stat, rounded down, in all directions. Opponents within range of this technique must have an Endurance higher than the opponent's Strength to resist the effects of this technique. Otherwise, any opponent within that range will suffer a -6 penalty to their Willpower for the next two posts, the high frequency sound interfering with their hearing and sense of equilibrium.

B-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
[b]Prerequisite(s):[/b] [i]35 Speed,[/i] *[color=#8B658B][i][Iaido • Phantom Funeral].[/i][/color]
Building upon the principle set by Phantom Funeral, this technique serves as a defense for the practitioner. By momentarily torquing the muscles in their arms, the practitioner spawns a vacuum in front of them. The practitioner immediately follows up by pulling the scabbard up to strike through the vacuum, causing the vacuum to collapse violently. The resulting radial shockwave pushes the opponent back with a Strength equal to 1/2 the practitioner's Strength, rounded down, for a number of meters equal to 1/2 the practitioner's Strength, rounded down. This shockwave is ineffective against enemies with a higher Strength than the shockwave. Conversely, the practitioner may choose to ride the shockwave, pushing themselves back and away from the opponent the same distance.

B-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
[b]Prerequisite(s):[/b] [i]35 Speed,[/i] *[color=#8B658B][i][Iaido • Phantom Funeral].[/i][/color]
This technique adapts the Phantom Funeral technique to fight against multiple opponents. Momentarily torquing their body, the practitioner quickly spins in a full circle and slashes in a single movement, the movement happening so quickly that it's difficult to even see the initial slash being performed. Aside from the first slash being deadly in its own right, the speed of the slash creates a spiraling vortex of vacuum blades five meters high that expands outward up to a number of meters equal to half the practitioner's speed, rounded down. The vacuum blades strike with 1/3 the strength and speed of the original attack, rounded down.
*[b][color=#8B658B][Iaido • Sword Spirit Draw][/color][/b]
A-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
Overwhelming the opponent with a literal shower of high-speed slashes, the practitioner torques the muscles in their arm to draw their sword and continue to assault the opponent's defenses with a seemingly unending wave of slashes. By torquing the muscles in the arm and twisting the wrist when changing the direction of the slash, each strike of the sword is as fast as if it had been drawn from its scabbard. This technique can be used while moving, and the practitioner can feint strikes within the flurry to throw the opponent off-guard. This technique can be used for up to three posts.

[b]Prerequisite(s):[/b] *[color=#8B658B][i][Iaido • Footwork Mastery][/color][/i], *[color=#8B658B][i][Iaido • Ancestral Visage].[/i][/color]
Pushing past the limits of normal human movement, the practitioner moves at the exact same speed, in the exact same direction, at the exact same time, and for the exact same distance as their opponent. This assures that the opponent will always remain in the practitioner's effective attack range. In order for this technique to operate at its peak efficiency, the practitioner must have a Speed and Strength score equal to or higher than the opponent’s Speed and Strength Scores. While this technique can be used regardless of stat differences, opponents with a higher speed can outpace the practitioner and pull away from them, and opponents with higher strength can accelerate more quickly than the practitioner, giving the opponent time to take countermeasures against the practitioner’s attacks. This technique can be used for a number of posts equal to 1/3 of the practitioner's Speed score, rounded down.

[b]Prerequisite(s):[/b] [i]35 speed,[/i] *[color=#8B658B][i][Iaido • Phantom Procession].[/i][/color]
Taking the concept of the Phantom Procession a step further, momentarily torquing their body, the practitioner quickly spins in a full circle and slashes in a single movement, the movement happening so quickly that it's difficult to even see the initial slash being performed. The speed of the slash creates a spiraling dome of vacuum blades fifteen meters high that expands outward up to a number of meters equal to half the practitioner's speed, rounded down. The vacuum blades strike with 3/4 the same strength and speed of the original attack.

Building upon the principles established by Phantom Funeral, the practitioner torques the muscles in their arms to produce slashes so fast that they create vacuum blades which travel in the direction of the original slash. These vacuum blades have 3/4th the Speed and Strength of the original slashes, rounded down, and they travel a number of meters equal to 3/4 the practitioner's Strength, rounded down. This technique can be used while moving. The practitioner may adjust the cost of this technique by choosing how many or how few vacuum blades to create.[/spoiler][/spoiler][spoiler=Shiin Usage]The fundamental skill of Shiin usage indicates the user’s proficiency with all types of shiin.

[b]Type:[/b] 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.
[b][color=#CC00FF][Quiet Steps][/color][/b]
D-ranked Taijutsu Discipline
Prerequisite: [Stealth] Concentration
The user has learned to move silently, and does not produce any sound when walking. They cannot be heard unless the person listening for them has a like-ranked Perception technique.
[b][color=#CC00FF][Incoming][/color][/b]
C-ranked Taijutsu Discipline
Prerequisite: [Perception] Concentration
The user has attuned their hearing to subconsciously listen for the sound of things moving through the air and alert them when picked up. This allows them to hear and become alert of projectiles flying at them from a general location, even if they can’t see them. This technique does not work in enclosed areas where sounds can be distorted.
[b][color=#CC00FF][Trained Nose][/b][/color]
B-Ranked Taijutsu Discipline
Prerequisite: [Perception] Concentration
Over time Tatsuo has developed a keen nose. He can pick up on faint scents that average shinobi wouldn’t even notice to the point where he can distinguish the individual body scents of people as well as determine specific species of animals even by just a strand of hair. The passive range of this ability is 40 meters though if he has picked up on a trail he can continue to follow it to its source assuming there are still scent particles in the air or physical remnants of a trail.
[b][color=#CC00FF][Trained Ears][/b][/color]
B-Ranked Taijutsu Discipline
Prerequisite: [Perception] Concentration
Tatsuo’s sharp senses allow him to pick up on slight sounds within a 40 meter radius of himself. This can range from the sound of a weapon being drawn, a projectile in flight or subtle footsteps and sounds of light breathing. In terms of eavesdropping he can discern a conversation at such a range as if he were standing next to the person whom is speaking.
[b][color=#CC00FF][Awareness][/color][/b]
B-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Prerequisite: [Perception] Concentration
The user has learned to pay attention to their opponent's minuscule movements preceding an action and other things in the midst of a fight. The longer the fight goes on, the more details about the opponent will become noticed by the user. The user can only notice and follow those with a Taijutsu equal to or lesser than their own.

The user has trained to stay silent when moving at their full speed unless the foe has a like-rank Perception technique. If the user sticks to walking rather than running, they won’t be able to be heard regardless of the foe possessing advanced hearing techniques.
[b][color=#CC00FF][Close Quarters][/color][/b]
B-rank Taijutsu Discipline
Prerequisites: Upper Body, Shiin Usage
When in enclosed areas, the user may find themselves with limited space and find it difficult to get the full force out of their attack. No matter the angle, the user who practiced this discipline will be able to get full strength from their attacks even if they can't extend them fully.
[color=#CC00FF][b][Recognition][/b][/color]
B-Rank Discipline Taijutsu
Humans are being of habits and patterns, this is no exception in combat, ranging from taijutsu to hand seals. Patterns already being easier to remember, the user has worked hard at actively committing whatever he sees to his short-term memory. This allows him to remember things such as the beginning wind up to a strike or a hand seal pattern after seeing it once, so that he can recognize the technique if used later in a battle. This gives him an advantage in anticipating his opponents next action and makes an opponent’s consecutive usage of a technique a liability.
[color=#CC00FF][b][Titan’s Strength][/b][/color]
B-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Prerequisite: 30 Strength
The user has trained their body and as such can use their oversized shiin/weapon with such ease that the usual encumbrance of such large weapons is as if nothing to them. This allows the user to use their shiin/weapon with the same speed and control as a smaller, more easily controlled weapon, such as a ninjato or katana. The benefits of this are incredibly useful, as this allows them to attack with incredible speed and accuracy without sacrificing their power, as well as block efficiently between blows.
[color=#CC00FF][b][Tremorsense][/b][/color]
A-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Tatsuo is sensitive to vibrations in the ground and can automatically pinpoint the location of anything that is in contact with the ground within a 60-meter radius. While underwater, Tatsuo can still use his tremorsense by backtracking the vibrations that carry in water.

A-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Prerequisite: 35 Strength
The user has become so adept at using his heavy phasmashiin that he can do so one handed with no penalty. The user can perform any Shiin Usage taijutsu of A rank or lower single handedly, and can maneuver their shiin fluidly and accurately with only one hand. This has the added benefit of freeing up their other hand, allowing them to use their other hand for a variety of purposes while maintaining an offensive advance.
[color=#CC00FF][b][Feel No Pain][/b][/color]
A Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Prerequisite: 35 Endurance, 35 Strength
A user with this technique has trained themselves to ignore even the most painful of wounds. This isn't to say that the damage of the wound is ignored; a grievous wound will still cause damage to the user's body and could inhibit their abilities or kill them outright. This discipline simply allows the user to treat pain as if it doesn't exist through shear force of body and will, allowing them to charge straight through attacks and jutsu to deliver their onslaught of attacks.

A-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Prerequisite: [Perception] concentration, [Trained Nose], [Trained Ears]
By using his enhanced senses of smell and hearing, Tatsuo is able to act as a type of natural lie detector by detecting the faint change in a person's heartbeat and scent due to perspiration when a lie is told. This is rendered ineffective against those who have an A-Rank or higher Stealth technique to fool Tatsuo's senses, or those who do not have a heart beat or sweat glands (i.e. Elemental Body).

Having spent as much time hunting as he has, Tatsuo has learnt how to hide his tracks and scent-trails as efficiently as he can follow them. He understands which plants can mask his scent, how to leave false scent trails and broken branches to throw off pursuers, and move in such a way as to prevent leaving a trail of his own. While applying this technique he slows his movement to half of what he would be capable of. Those following him require a tracking technique equal to or above the rank of this technique in order to not be fooled by the false trails.

Tatsuo dodges an opponent's strike by crouching below it and attacks the opponent's chest with an upward punch, kick, or shiin strike to their lower rib cage with all his strength in an attempt to break the lower ribs to debilitate the opponent's breathing. This strike if successful and acted upon with full power causes the opponent to become short of breath, and possibly cause bones to put pressure on their opponent's lungs furthering their inhibition to breath. The user must have higher Strength than the Opponent’s Endurance to be successful with this jutsu.

By first entering his Mirage Assault, Tatsuo races around a 50m area, creating afterimages that seem to be actual physical copies of himself, capable of turning and making a false attack in the direction of the target or going in the opposite direction of Tatsuo's actual travel path. Tatsuo makes a series of actual attacks equal to his (Speed/2) in quick succession, so fast in fact that the afterimages he leaves during the attacks combine with the attacks themselves and false images to make it seem as though Tatsuo is making all the attacks at once and from every angle possible.[/spoiler][/spoiler][spoiler=Killer Instinct][spoiler=Discipline][color=#FF8C00][b][Killer Intent][/color][/b]
C-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
[b]Prerequisite:[/b] [Fortitude]
Tatsuo will impose his will upon any living being within 25 meters, friend and foe alike, for 5 posts. Those caught within this range will feel endangered and threatened by him as long as he remains in their line of sight. The longer they remain within this field the worse this sensation becomes, eventually causing uncontrollable shaking of the arms and legs. If the target has an equal or greater Willpower, they can shake this feeling off, but the lower the number is in comparison, the faster the effects are felt.

The opposite of [Killer Intent], [Apathy] suppresses the user's malicious intent while remaining the ability to kill. Tatsuo will impose his will upon any living being within 25 meters, friend and foe alike, for 5 posts. Those caught within this range will be unable to feel endangered and threatened by him as long as he remains in their line of sight. The longer they remain within this field the less frightening he comes, eventually causing them to completely trust and believe him, allowing him to attack without even the slightest hint of preparing to do so.

C-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
[b]Prerequisite:[/b] [Fortitude]
Tatsuo focuses his will on a single target he makes eye contact with, locking their gaze with his own. If the target has a lower Willpower than him, it will cause them to fixate upon Tatsuo's eyes and be unable to move for 3 posts. During this time, Tatsuo must maintain constant eye contact, and any movements must be made at half speed to achieve this. Any aggressive action on Tatsuo's part will break the trance.

C-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
[b]Prerequisite:[/b] [Killer Intent], [Fortitude]
While Tatsuo is radiating his Killer Intent, he can make his presence seem larger, causing the feeling of panic he exudes to expand an additional 0.5 meters for every point of his Willpower, which lasts until the end of the original technique. However, doing so costs him more energy than usual, reducing his effective Willpower by 5 for stat battles during this.
[b][color=#FF8C00][Packmates][/color][/b]
C-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
[b]Prerequisite:[/b] [Killer Intent], [Fortitude]
While employing one of his Killer Intent techniques, Tatsuo can rein in his Willpower to a certain extent, doing so however takes focus. For each creature he chooses to not subject to his Killer Intent, Tatsuo suffers -3 to his Willpower. He can maintain this for as long as his Killer Intent remains active.
[b][color=#FF8C00][Corral the Weak][/color][/b]
C-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
[b]Prerequisite:[/b] [Killer Intent], [Fortitude]
Tatsuo focuses the area of his Killer Intent, reducing it to an area 5 meters around him. Those affected by it will find themselves instinctively reacting to the Flight response of Fight or Flight, and be overwhelmed by the urge to run as far from Tatsuo as they possibly can in the opposite direction. This effect lingers for 1 post after they leave the area of his Killer Intent.
[b][color=#FF8C00][Intent Detection][/color][/b]
C-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
[b]Prerequisite:[/b] [Fortitude]
Tatsuo focuses his will over the targets caught in his Killer Intent, probing them to so if they have an intent or want to harm him.

B-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
[b]Prerequisite:[/b] [Fortitude]
By first taking the sides of a target's head in his hands, Tatsuo will attempt to make eye contact with them. Should they look into Tatsuo's eyes, if their Willpower is lower than his, they will find themselves unable to look away while a feeling of subservience fills them. While Tatsuo maintains physical contact with the target, they will suffer -3 to their Willpower per post, allowing Tatsuo to better interrogate them. The reduction to their Willpower stacks per post, resulting in -9 by the third post, at which point the technique ends.
[b][color=#FF8C00][Frightful Presence][/color][/b]
B-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
[b]Prerequisite:[/b] [Fortitude]
Tatsuo lets out a roar infused with his Killer Intent; any creature that is aware of Tatsuo within 40 meters of his position and can hear will be affected by this technique. Should their Willpower be lower than his, they will be filled with a sudden sensation of pure fear. Those affected will be unable to willingly move closer to Tatsuo and their Willpower will be reduced by 3 per post as their body shakes in natural response to fear. The reduction to their Willpower stacks per post, resulting in -9 by the third post, at which point the technique ends.

[b]Prerequisite:[/b] [Fortitude]
Tatsuo focuses his will on a single target he makes eye contact with, locking their gaze with his own. If the target has a lower Willpower than him, it will cause them to fixate upon Tatsuo's eyes. Their brains will be sent into such an intense panic that they will be easily influenced into performing the next action asked of them if their Willpower is not equal to or greater than his own. They are not able to be asked to kill or horribly maim themselves as their base self-preservation instincts prevent them from doing so.

[b]*[color=#008b5e][Medicinal Style • Resuscitation][/color][/b]
A-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
In the event a patient has passed, in some cases it is possible to resuscitate the patient. Most major injuries must be first treated, as any untreated injuries would simply cause the patient to perish after resuscitation. Should the injuries be treated and this technique be initiated within 2 posts of the target's death, the user will applies pressure to a series of pressure points and begin CPR, bringing the patient back to life. This technique will inevitably fail if not initiated within the 2 post period.

[color=#CC00FF][b]~[Strengthen the Armor][/b][/color]
C-Ranked Ninjutsu
Prerequisite: Lacrishiin
By doing the needed hand seals, the user is able to channel chakra directly into their shiin. This strengthens the armor, giving it an extra 10 Endurance.

For those with less than [Control] Strength they will find themselves immobile for the next 5 posts. If the target that touches the object has [Control] or higher Strength, they will find themselves unaffected.
[b]*[color=#80A0FF][Ninjutsu • Shadow Clone Technique][/color][/b]
A-Ranked Ninjutsu
After performing the correct hand seals the user proceeds to create a number of clones of themselves (maximum is equal to 1/3rd the users Chakra Pool). Unlike the Clone Technique, these clones are actual copies of the user in both appearance and substance. The user's chakra is evenly distributed among every clone, giving each clone an equal fraction of the user's overall power. The clones are capable of performing jutsu on their own, be given complex commands, caught in genjutsu, and can even bleed, but they will usually disperse after one or two solid blows. The clones will be created in roughly the same condition as the original and any experience the clones gain during their existence is transferred to the user once they are dispersed. Given that the clones are an exact replica of the user, they share the same stats except for Chakra Pool, which is determined by the number of clones presently in effect.
[b]*[color=#CC00FF][Ninjutsu • Body Flicker Technique][/color][/b]
A-Ranked Nintaijutsu
After channeling chakra into their body, the user enhances their movement to attack or retreat suddenly, the ninja almost instantly moves up to 20 meters on the ground in a single straight direction. While doing this, the ninja cannot move through anything or anyone, nor can they supplement it with an attack of any kind. After the quick movement has stopped, there is a brief pause where the user must recover from the movement. Even though it's not a full teleportation, this jutsu uses up one of the 2 teleportations a character can use in a single thread.
[b]*[color=#CC00FF][Ninjutsu • Advanced Shadow Clone Technique][/color][/b]
S-Ranked Ninjutsu
After performing the correct hand seals the user proceeds to create a number of clones of themselves (maximum is equal to 1/3rd the user's Chakra Pool). Unlike the Clone Technique, these clones are actual copies of the user in both appearance and substance. The user's chakra is evenly distributed among every clone, giving each clone an equal fraction of the user's overall power. The clones are capable of performing jutsu on their own and can even bleed, but they will usually disperse after one or two solid blows.

Given that the clones are an exact replica of the user, they share the same stats except for Chakra Pool, which is determined by the number of clones presently in effect. The advantage of this form of the technique is that once dispersed, the chakra distributed to the clones returns to the user, allowing any un-used chakra to be regained, slowing the draining usage of this technique. The chakra returns to the user at a different rate depending on the user's control.

[spoiler=Iijutsu][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 • Oxygen Flow][/color][/b]
D-Ranked Ninjutsu
Simple in its form yet highly effective in practice, the [i]*[color=#008b5e][Iijutsu • Oxygen Flow][/color][/i] technique allows its users to clear obstructed airways, to perform less extensive CPR, and to give cells the oxygen they crave. After focusing chakra into the hands, the user will place both over the target's chest (through the back works as well). By allowing the chakra to be channeled throughout the lungs and up through the air ways, any unseen, solid or liquid obstructions will be cleared from these passages and ejected through the mouth, allowing the patient to breathe more easily. Additionally, the hands can be placed over the heart to help oxygenate the body's cells. In this instance, users must be much more careful, as over-oxygenating cells can cause more harm than good. This technique takes the entirety of one post to perform.
[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.

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, [i]*[color=#008b5e][Iijutsu • Chakra Stitching][/color][/i] 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.

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.
[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 • Removal Technique][/color][/b]
C-Ranked Ninjutsu
[b]Prerequisite:[/b] [i]*[color=#008b5e][Iijutsu • Blood Clot Technique][/color][/i]
In the event that a foreign object gets lodged into a patient's body, such as the point of shuriken or a senbon, the [i]*[color=#008b5e][Iijutsu • Removal Technique][/color][/i] can be utilized to retrieve it. After focusing chakra into his/her hands, the user will place them on either side of the wound in question. From here, the medical-nin will carefully manipulate the surrounding tissues by channeling chakra into them, coaxing the foreign object to the surface of the wound in order to extract it. Users of this technique are advised to analyze the severity of the wound beforehand, as more complex wounds will take longer than the one (1) post of concentration needed to extract most objects from superficial to moderate wounds. This technique should be used in conjunction with a tissue regeneration technique or the [i]*[color=#008b5e][Iijutsu • Blood Clot Technique][/color][/i]. The [i]*[color=#008b5e][Iijutsu • Removal Technique][/color][/i] can be held for a maximum of four (4) posts.
[b]*[color=#008b5e][Iijutsu • Bone Fracture Technique][/color][/b]
C-Ranked Nintaijutsu
[b]Prerequisite:[/b] [i]*[color=#008b5e][Iijutsu • Chakra Scalpel][/color][/i]
Once the [i]*[color=#008b5e][Iijutsu • Chakra Scalpel][/color][/i] has been activated, users may choose to use this jutsu as an alternative to the aforementioned technique's usual action. When in close range, the user will attempt to jab his/her charged hand at the opponent, seeking to connect with a bone. If successful, the chakra will be released into the opponent's body as a sharp, precise burst to the area of contact, causing the bone to fracture. If this area is struck again in the same spot, the bone will inevitably break. This technique does not harm anything but the bone—not even the skin—and is dispelled after three (3) posts or until contact with the opponent is made. However, since both hands are charged, the user has two chances with this technique per use (one per hand).

[b]Prerequisite:[/b] 5 Iijutsu
A minor version of one of the almighty and most highly coveted abilities of medical-nin, the [i]*[color=#008b5e][Iijutsu • Mystical Palm Lesser][/color][/i]. After focusing chakra into his/her hands, the user will place them over the wound in question and begin to channel chakra through it. As the chakra interacts with the cells and tissues in the area, the wound will begin to regenerate and heal over until there's no remnant of it ever being there. Of course, this is not done in the blink of an eye. It takes some time (4 posts) to heal small-to-moderate wounds, while large wounds take six (6) posts of concentration to mend, and the user is unable to heal mortal wounds. This technique lasts for six (6) posts.
[b][color=#008b5e][Iijutsu • Lesser Mystical Palm][/color][/b]

[b]Prerequisite:[/b] 10 Iijutsu
A lesser version of one of the almighty and most highly coveted abilities of medical-nin, the [i]*[color=#008b5e][Iijutsu • Mystical Palm Lesser][/color][/i]. After focusing chakra into his/her hands, the user will place them over the wound in question and begin to channel chakra through it. As the chakra interacts with the cells and tissues in the area, the wound will begin to regenerate and heal over until there's no remnant of it ever being there. Of course, this is not done in the blink of an eye. To heal small-to-moderate wounds, it takes some time (3 posts), while large wounds take four (4) post of concentration to mend, and mortal wounds take a total of six (6) posts to fully mend. This technique lasts for seven (7) posts, but due to its chakra-extensive nature, users are not advised to treat multiple large wounds in a single use.
[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.
[b]*[color=#008b5e][Iijutsu • Bone Regeneration Technique][/color][/b]
B-Ranked Ninjutsu
Although simple to explain, the [i]*[color=#008b5e][Iijutsu • Bone Regeneration Technique][/color][/i] requires both skill and patience in order to mend the fractured or broken bones of patients. After focusing chakra into the hands, the user will begin to channel it through the area of the break or fracture. As this chakra makes contact with the bone, it will stimulate the calcium production of the body and begin to mend the bone. To mend small-to-medium breaks, it takes one (1) post of concentration, while fractures are usually very quick to mend. Multiple breaks can be mended during the use of this technique as it lasts for a total of five (5) posts or until canceled. Users should beware that, like other regenerations of this kind, the nutrient stores of the patient's body are being depleted during its use, and too many uses of this technique in a short span of time can cause serious damage.

A-Ranked Ninjutsu
[b]Prerequisite:[/b] Must have Raiton
Utilizing electricity to work, the [i]*[color=#008b5e][Iijutsu • Chaotic Mental Collision[/color][/i] technique is a highly dangerous Iijutsu. To begin, the user will focus regular chakra into his/her hands moments prior to electrifying it with Raiton chakra. This charged chakra will be used in an attempt to disrupt the target's nervous system through close-range contact with the user's hand. If the user is able to connect the flat of his/her palm with the opponent's body, the chakra will be released into it. As this chakra interacts with the foe's nervous system over the course of three (3) posts, it will begin to sever the brain's communication with the rest of the body. During the first post, motor skills such as walking, talking and moving one's hands will be delayed by several seconds. During the second post, the target will begin to lose control over movement in his/her body as the action delay grows worse. By the third post, all motor skills will cease and the target will be rendered immobile. This complete immobility lasts for two (2) posts.[/spoiler]
