Equipment AddedShow
Head Hunter Division Mask: As a member of Kirigakure's Head Hunter Division, Kinsue wears this mask while conducting Division business. The mask is plain white porcelain, bearing the symbol of Kirigakure on the forehad and two thin slits for eye holes.
Kaguya Bone Senbon: A set of 5 specialized Senbon imbued with special chakra. giving the set two different effects. When thrown it will cause for the thrower to become invisible to the naked eye for the next four posts as long as the thrower does not exceed 1/3 of their [Speed]. The needles themselves are able to alter their course of flight to home in on their intended target for the next two posts but are unable to make radical changes in their course of flight. Able to swerve left and right up to forty-five degrees in flight to respond changes from the target and to bypass objects that come between the target and the weapon.
Operator Authentication Seal: A complex multi-layered fuuinjutsu seal, the bearer is marked with a small barcode-like formula of encrypted information which can only be decoded or removed using the [Hunter's Crypolect] in addition to advanced fuuinjutsu removal knowledge of equal or greater rank. The seal and its encoded information is unique to each bearer, and is connected to the bearer’s chakra network. The encoded information in the seal serves as a unique identifier and authentication token that can be scanned to unlock access doors into the HHD headquarters and any secured organisation outposts or bases, and provides the bearer with the ability to activate and safely traverse the HHD teleportation Black Network. The seal additionally serves as an emergency alert beacon to the organisation, lying dormant until such a time as the bearer’s chakra network ceases to function — as occurs in death — or the seal formula itself is damaged, removed from the bearer’s body, or is interfered with by a foreign chakra source. In such an eventuality, the seal activates and sends an emergency signal through the HHD headquarters and division captains through the [Secure Operator Network] and [Captain Authentication Seal]s containing a directional bearing and approximate distance, alerting them to the bearer's death or that the security of the seal has been compromised. This can not only aid the Division in locating the bearer's body, but prompts them to change the encryption and authentication of their teleportation network and base access doors. Doing so invalidates all existing Authentication Seals, forcing the organisation to remove and reapply fresh seals with the new encrypted passkey information to all other bearers.
Kirigakure Flak Jacket:: A standard flak jacket worn by most Kirigakure shinobi ranked chuunin and above, this Flak jacket has [15] strength granting a minor defense to the wearer. In particular, the design of the flak jacket is meant to reduce the impact of explosions on the wearer, protecting them from suffering any internal damage to major organs in their chest and abdomen when hit by explosions with strength less than or equal to the strength of the Flak jacket. Kinsue wears his flak jacket while on missions.

KettouShow
As much of the training in the academy focuses on having students fight each other to get experience, the academy teaches a basic dueling style to virtually all of it’s students. The style is focused on one on one engagements, and is meant to provide the combatant with key skills to manage one-on-one fights and keep themselves with the upper-hand. The style focuses primarily on controlling the space between two combatants, disarming opponents, and nullifying common types of attacks in order to maximize generating openings and how long the user can fight against their opponent. Kettou is intentionally designed to be able to be done empty handed, holding kunai, swords, or two-handed weapons, allowing it to be used in most situations regardless of the users standard fighting style.
Prerequisite: Kirigakure Shinobi, [Close Quarters Combat]
C Rank: 1
Prerequisite: Kirigakure Shinobi, [Close Quarters Combat]
[Kettou: 10 Paces]
C-rank Taijutsu Stance
A key technique for dueling, the user must have Speed equal to or greater than their opponent to properly utilize, but can use it to some success as low as -5 Speed from their opponent. The user will situate themselves 5m away from the opponent, and then will always match the speed of their opponent to conduct the opposite movement. If the opponent moves forward, the user will move backward, if they rotate to the left, the user will rotate to the right. This means the pair will always be exactly distant from each other, creating ample opportunity to respond to any attacks.
B Rank: 2
[Kettou: Feint]
B-rank Taijutsu Discipline
During a duel, feints allow the duelist to confuse their opponent, predict counters, and protect themselves. This discipline allows the user to turn virtually any attack into a feint. As long as the strike has not made contact, the user can pull it back. Opponents with less speed, or inadequate perception are left unable to distinguish between feints and genuine attacks.
[Kettou: Close Quarters Combat]
B-rank Taijutsu Discipline
A master of close quarters combat, the user is able to exert the full of their strength with even the tiniest of movements, allowing them to replicate the strength of a full swing or strike with just a flick of their wrist. This allows the user to fight in incredibly close quarters or cramped spaces without losing efficiency.
A Rank: 1
[Kettou: Supplement]
A-rank Taijutsu Stance
While a somewhat basic dueling stance, this stance provides enormous value to Kettou practitioners. As Kettou is designed to supplement any type of fighter, this stance acts as a seamless intermediary between stances in other disciplines. Masters of this technique can seamlessly switch between stances and maneuvers of various taijutsu styles, without having to take normal prerequisite steps, positions, or preparations. This allows Kettou practitioners to integrate Kettou into virtually any fighting style without suffering any deficits.
HHD TechniquesShow
D Rank: 1
[Hunter’s Cryptolect]
D-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
A Head Hunter can convey a hundred meanings without ever opening their mouth. This discipline represents the user’s mastery of the Hunter’s Cryptolect, a secretive and complicated means of communication taught exclusively to members of Kirigakure’s Head Hunter Division. More than just a spoken or written language, the Cryptolect incorporates vocal, somatic, tonal and metered elements which can be used individually or together to convey detailed private messages. This grants practitioners the ability to communicate silently such as through hand signs and body language, cryptically through a scrambled written or spoken cipher, or even by hiding meanings and messages in plain sight by concealing elements of the Cryptolect into seemingly plain, everyday sentences, for example by using tones, accents, or hidden patterns in the meter of a phrase. This communication is innately cryptic and unintuitive, often interspersed with rogue elements to throw off a potential eavesdropper, making it nigh impossible to be realised—let alone properly interpreted—by anyone not trained in its particular use at the Head Hunter Division headquarters.

Silent Hunter StyleShow
Quote:[Silent Hunter]
The Silent Hunter style originated as a series of silent fighting techniques developed by Commander Karagata Shiv of Kirigakure's Head Hunter Division, further applied by Overseer Kaikyo Kohon of the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist, and finally revised and reimagined by Aisu Naohiro to become an expansive doctrine of techniques essential to any eager Head Hunter to aid in infiltration, tracking, and assassination.
Requires: [Stealth] & [Perception]
C Rank: 3
[Just Listen]
C-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Any time the user is moving, they have trained themselves to be attuned to the sound of people moving. This passive technique allows the user to accurately pinpoint targets within 30 metres of their location, and can differentiate the sounds of multiple people to separate targets and determine how many people are in a given area even if they can’t see them.
[Featherstep]
C-Rank Taijutsu Stance
The user has learned to move in a particular way to lighten the tread of their feet and with carefully placed steps. This allows the user to move without leaving any visible trail to all but the most experienced of trackers, eliminating obvious environmental disturbances and signs such as footprints, scuffs, displaced dirt, and so on. The lightfooted nature of this stance imparts a +6 to Speed at the cost of -6 to Strength as the user primes their muscles for swift and gentle movement rather than power.
[Projectile Whistles]
C-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
The user has attuned their hearing to the sound of things moving through the air within 30 metres of their person. This allows them to hear projectiles flying at them from a general location, even if they can’t see the source.
B Rank: 4
[Analyse]
B-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
The user has learned to attune their hearing to target desired, specific sources of sound, and effectively block out all other distractions. This allows them to focus on individual targets or sounds, for example being able to pick out one conversation within a busy room, or identify one set of footsteps from among many. When focusing on a particular sound, the user can effortlessly interpret its characteristics to learn details about the source. For example, analysing the sound of footsteps can reveal the weight, size, or speed of a target, while hearing the rustle of movement could reveal the presence of armour, weapons, or other worn materials, and hearing the sound of weapons or projectiles can inform the user about the type, size, speed or strength of the weapons in use.
[Argus]
B-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
The user has trained their vision to accurately pick up on and interpret details even through darkness or dense visual obstructions. This technique allows the user to see clearly through shadows, darkness, or semi-transparent media such as water, ice, smoke, mist, dust, heat shimmers, and other airbourne particulate or visual disturbances out to a distance of 60 metres.
[Target Speed]
B-Rank Taijutsu Manoeuvre
The user strikes with pinpoint accuracy at the correct pressure points or muscle groups on an opponent's body that can effectively debilitate their speed. When struck, the opponent suffers a shock throughout their body and a sudden loss of mobility, manifesting as a -6 to Speed for the next five posts. This technique can be applied using a thrown weapon, however doing so from range lowers the potency of the strike and only imparts a -3 penalty to Speed instead.
[Target Strength]
B-Rank Taijutsu Manoeuvre
The user strikes with pinpoint accuracy at the correct pressure points or muscle groups on an opponent's body that can effectively debilitate their strength. When struck, the opponent suffers a shock throughout their body and a sudden loss of vigour, manifesting as a -6 to Strength for the next five posts. This technique can be applied using a thrown weapon, however doing so from range lowers the potency of the strike and only imparts a -3 penalty to Strength instead.
A Rank: 5
[Heartbeat]
A-Tank Taijutsu Discipline
The user has attuned their hearing to the sound of heartbeats. This allows them to accurately locate and track anything with a heartbeat within 50 metres of their person, and filter the sound of heartbeats out from other surrounding noises and distractions regardless of environment.
[Precision Aim]
A-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
The user has studied anatomy to the extent that they can passively apply that knowledge to their strikes and aim in the heat of combat. This allows the user to identify and exploit opportunities for pinpoint attacks to cause severe internal damage to a target, such as breaking bones, rupturing organs, slicing muscles and tendons, and so forth. This technique aids the user in spotting weak points in the armour or guard of a target and deliving precision attacks in those areas to bypass physical defences and strike the body beneath.
[Ghoststep]
A-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Prerequisite: [Featherstep] or *Fuuton • Wind Skating
The user has learned to move with exceptional care and finesse, lightening the tread of their feet and stepping with extreme care or by marginally levitating their feet with a subconscious application of fuuton chakra. This allows the user to move without detriment while eliminating all traces of their passing, leaving no physical sign. Additionally, the user can move as normal without triggering physical traps such as pressure plates or tripwires. If moving via fuuton, the swirling chakra additionally scours away any scent left behind by the user. If moving via careful physical steps, the user leaves no residue of chakra use. The lightfooted nature of this stance can impart a boost to speed of up to +12, at the cost of a corresponding debuff to Strength as the user primes their muscles for swift and gentle movement rather than power.
[Instant Strike]
A-Rank Nintaijutsu Manoeuvre
The user prepares an attack or action before priming their muscles and surging forward in an instantaneous, chakra-assisted movement towards or away from a target within 50 metres, which consumes one of the user's two available teleport movements per thread. This allows the user to jump forward and deliver a lightning-fast series of strikes to a target without any perceivable precursor motion, or to attack a target already in range and then instaneously move away to a safe location by identifying an object within range that is at least 1/5th the user's size while preparing the technique. An object used in this manner must be solid and must not already be imbued with foreign chakra. The user can perform up to [Base Speed/10] strikes as part of this technique, performed at up to +12 Speed, but the focus on rapid motion leaves the user unprepared to guard and thus a corresponding Endurance debuff for the duration of the strike.
[Coverage]
A-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
The user has learned how to make the most effective use of their environment to avoid being seen and detected. This allows the user to effectively conceal themselves and blend into an environment with minimal effort, increasing their effectiveness at hiding in mist, water, ice, foliage, behind terrain, and so forth.
S Rank: 5
[Venator]
S-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Keen eyes and a wealth of tracking experience allows the user to easily identify and track all manner of targets over extreme distances, regardless of terrain type or method of travel. The practitioner can subconsciouly pick up on signs such as disturbed foliage, footprints, and environmental disturbances, and can accurately determine their age, source, and direction of travel by their condition. The user can accurately pick out individuals from many different traces and determine the number of companions or accomplaces with the target.
[Quiescence]
S-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
The user has learned to move in total silence, and does not produce any sound when moving through any means. They cannot be heard unless a person listening for them has a specialized hearing technique of equal or higher rank.
[Reaper]
S-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
The user has trained themselves to become perfectly attuned to all manner of sounds in a wide vicinity of their person, and can focus their hearing to up to 150 metres to identify and track targets. This passive technique allows the practitioner to accurately identify and differentiate people, animals, and all sources of noise within 50 metres of their person, even in the face of loud complicated distractions, noise, or interference. Over 50 metres, the accuracy of the technique suffers slightly and hearing at such an extent requires fewer distractions. Over 100 metres, the user requires silence in their immediate vicinity and can only gauge an approximate direction, distance, and quantity of noise sources, but can still identify the type of creature. The maximum range of this technique is 150 metres. Additionally, the user has learned to interpret vibrations through the ground as a rudimentary tremorsense, and is able to accurately track sources of movement through vibrations within 50 metres of their location.
[Chemosensory]
S-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
The user has achieved exceptional proficiency in identifying and interpreting different tastes and scents, and can recall previously encountered tastes and scents with remarkable accuracy from a mental catalogue of sources. This allows the user to detect trace amounts of scent even from minute sources, such as from a blade of grass that touched the leg of a fleeing target, from old footprints, or traces of scent on the wind over great distances. Additionally, the user's knowledge of scents and tastes allows them to accurately determine the origin and age of a source, and with multiple sources can effectively determine a direction and speed of travel.
[Blurred Movement]
S-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Having undertaken intensive training sessions to drill the body into extreme high speed movement, the user has mastered a method of moving and fighting which makes their motions highly confusing to an opponent. This causes the user's movements and attacks to become extremely blurred and impossible to see or follow for anyone without a visual perception technique of equal or higher rank. Even those with such a technique will find it harder to determine the user's attack patterns or where they are aiming to strike.

EquipmentShow
All the following equipment can be found in the pouches on Kinsue's belt.
Kaguya Bone Senbon: A set of 5 specialized Senbon imbued with special chakra. giving the set two different effects. When thrown it will cause for the thrower to become invisible to the naked eye for the next four posts as long as the thrower does not exceed 1/3 of their [Speed]. The needles themselves are able to alter their course of flight to home in on their intended target for the next two posts but are unable to make radical changes in their course of flight. Able to swerve left and right up to forty-five degrees in flight to respond changes from the target and to bypass objects that come between the target and the weapon. Operator Authentication Seal: A complex multi-layered fuuinjutsu seal, the bearer is marked with a small barcode-like formula of encrypted information which can only be decoded or removed using the [Hunter's Crypolect] in addition to advanced fuuinjutsu removal knowledge of equal or greater rank. The seal and its encoded information is unique to each bearer, and is connected to the bearer’s chakra network. The encoded information in the seal serves as a unique identifier and authentication token that can be scanned to unlock access doors into the HHD headquarters and any secured organisation outposts or bases, and provides the bearer with the ability to activate and safely traverse the HHD teleportation Black Network. The seal additionally serves as an emergency alert beacon to the organisation, lying dormant until such a time as the bearer’s chakra network ceases to function — as occurs in death — or the seal formula itself is damaged, removed from the bearer’s body, or is interfered with by a foreign chakra source. In such an eventuality, the seal activates and sends an emergency signal through the HHD headquarters and division captains through the [Secure Operator Network] and [Captain Authentication Seal]s containing a directional bearing and approximate distance, alerting them to the bearer's death or that the security of the seal has been compromised. This can not only aid the Division in locating the bearer's body, but prompts them to change the encryption and authentication of their teleportation network and base access doors. Doing so invalidates all existing Authentication Seals, forcing the organisation to remove and reapply fresh seals with the new encrypted passkey information to all other bearers. Kirigakure Flak Jacket:: A standard flak jacket worn by most Kirigakure shinobi ranked chuunin and above, this Flak jacket has [15] strength granting a minor defense to the wearer. In particular, the design of the flak jacket is meant to reduce the impact of explosions on the wearer, protecting them from suffering any internal damage to major organs in their chest and abdomen when hit by explosions with strength less than or equal to the strength of the Flak jacket.

Toukai, Tsubasa
A close partner to Kinsue and the other member of Unit 12, Naohiro has been close to the Karagata since they met in Kirigakure's first academy. The two of them lost contact for a time after earning the rank of Genin, but began to work together as shinobi after being tasked to investigate the death of a Karagata nobleman's son. They've maintained a keen bond ever since, and Kinsue considers Naohiro to be his closest friend.
Karagata, Shinjiro
The son of Kosuke's older brother Izune; Shinjiro was raised almost from birth to be the perfect warrior. While he and Kinsue were never close in their youth, his rise to prominence as the host of Vorashu no Katagenma has had a significant impact on the older of the two. As an immediate relative of the Jinchuuriki, Kinsue has been subject to a greater amount of attention from the Karagata in an attempt to prevent any scandal from tainting the reputation of such an important tool. While Shinjiro is too cruel for Kinsue to look upon him favorably; the man has nothing but respect for his skill and determination.
Karagata, Katsurou
Kinsue's elder brother by 7 years, Katsurou holds a great amount of kindness considering the family in which he was born. From a young age he was groomed for a role representing the Karagata's trade interests, and was expected to one day take over his father's role within the family. After Kosuke's death, he took up many of the dealings that his father had previously been involved in and proved himself a more than capable Karagata and successor. He takes great interest in Kinsue's career, and the two share a close bond.
Himora, Riki
A Jounin in service to the Karagata. Riki first came into contact with Kinsue's branch of the family many years ago; when he was tasked to guard Kosuke and Katsurou as they went to a trade meeting outside of the village. He grew close to Katsurou, and when he realized that Riki's combat style matched Kinsue's own hired him as an off-the-record tutor for the young shinobi. Kinsue developed greatly under his critical eye, and owes much of his progress he made before being promoted to Chuunin to his lessons. The siblings maintain close contact with Riki, and Kinsue views him much as he might a third blood brother.
Karagata, Himari
Before she married Kosuke, Himari came from a small but wealthy family of which she and her children are the last surviving members. Whilst a hard women suited to a life in Kirigakure no Sato; she is kinder than her husband and will often spend time with her children offering what help she can. A former Jounin, Himari has recently retired and now spends working with her husband in the Karagata shipping industry. She occasionally assists in teaching at Kirigakure's first academy, imparting her extensive knowledge of Genjutsu upon the village's next generation of shinobi.
Karagata, Kaito
The younger of Kinsue's two brothers, though still older than him at 26 years old. He possesses a mentality common among village shinobi, being cruel, harsh and condescending. The man is however looked poorly upon by the Karagata, as his achievement faltered after he was granted promotion to Chuunin as a teenager. With little drive to improve further, Kaito seems destined to remain one undistinguished ninja among the many of his rank. He and Kinsue failed to maintain much contact as they transitioned out of childhood, as neither thinks much of the other.
Karagata, Kosuke
Kinsue's father. Kosuke is a hard man, determined to see his children succeed. He often comes off as cold to his family, and is more interested in seeing his children develop greater strength than he is in spending time with them. Despite his apparent coldness, Kosuke holds his family in incredibly high regard, and considers his treatment of them to be kind, at least compared to his treatment of most others. Outside of the family home, Kosuke is a cruel yet efficient man, and holds a high position within the families shipping industry. He primarily deals with trade between Kirigakure and Lightning Country, but occasionally overseas some trades with Earth Country.
Kosuke passed away when Kinsue was 19, partially resulting in the young man's resignation from military service.
Kosuke passed away when Kinsue was 19, partially resulting in the young man's resignation from military service.
Terumī, Kazuken
Kinsue's great grandfather. The man was a renowned Jounin and assassin in his day, and was believed to have been one of the most accomplished combat sensors in the village. The truth, however, was that Kazuken had mastered the use of the bloodline of the Terumī; the Dōjutsu known as the Toramugan. He never told anyone the truth behind his abilities, but instead left behind memoirs of his life which were found by Kinsue. His legacy now serves as an important motivating factor in Kinsue's life, as he seeks to gain the strength to match that of his ancestor.
Matsou, Akari and Yamai, Daiki
Two shinobi assigned alongside Kinsue to an unassuming C-Rank mission during his time as a Genin. They were both killed when they were ambushed by a group of highly skilled Nukenin, while Kinsue escaped in order to inform the village of the threat. Their deaths initially pushed the boy into a state of great self-doubt and weakness; however, he has long since come to terms with the events that led to their demise. Now, his memories of them push him to greater heights as he strives to ensure that he can prevent any future partners from suffering the same fate.
Toukai, Tsubasa
One of the most talented shinobi from Kinsue's class in the Academy. Tsubasa always seemed destined for greatness; she was brave, charismatic, and highly skilled in her clan's unique Jutsu. Unfortunately for her, she was matched against Kinsue's brother Kaito in her Chuunin exam, and was killed in the battle by the older and more experienced Genin. To honour Tsubasa, Kinsue took on her aspirations as his own, and refocused his attentions on achieving power as a shinobi.
PrologueShow
Early LifeShow
Kinsue was born as the third son of Kosuke, an important figure within the Karagata shipping industry, and Himari, a Jounin of the village. With both of his parents being important members of the Karagata, Kinsue enjoyed an incredibly privileged lifestyle growing up as a noble of Kirigakure no Sato. At the same time, however, he was placed under a large amount of pressure to excel for the benefit of the family.
Kinsue's training in the shinobi arts began at the age of 6, two years before he was admitted into Kiri's First Academy. As a younger child of the family, he did not stand to inherit Kosuke's role in the Karagata business (a role for which his oldest brother, Katsurou, was being groomed for). Instead, Kinsue and his other brother, Kaito, were trained to be shinobi by Himari. Kinsue showed little promise in either Genjutsu or Taijutsu, but seemed to have great potential in the use of Ninjutsu. He also displayed a strong battle instinct. Himari honed in on strengthening Kinsue's potential, and the boy displayed a notable affinity in utilizing both Suiton and Fuuton by the time of his 8th birthday.

The AcademyShow
Midway through the 9th year of his life, Kinsue was accepted into the first and most prestigious Academy of the village. During his time there he established his fighting style as being grounded in defensive and supplementary Ninjutsu. He also began his studies of Kiri's signature Mist Style. Due to his relatively shy nature, he did not forge many bonds during his time at the Academy, instead forming close relationships with a few other students. Aisu Naohiro, another of the students in his class, was one of these friends. Due to having a two year head-start on his training, Kinsue progressed through the Academy without much difficulty, and graduated a few weeks after his 10th birthday on his 1st attempt.
As Kinsue's time at the Academy began, his older brother Kaito finished his own studies. Eager to flaunt his superior strength, he spent a great amount of time “training” with his younger brother. This training would generally involve Kinsue being beaten down and abused by his brother, creating a relationship between the two largely dominated by anger and hatred.

Years as a GeninShow
Kinsue enjoyed a promising start to his career as a Genin, finding success in his first few D rank missions both on his own and with other Genin, including several missions with his classmate Naohiro. His relationship with Naohiro faltered when he was 11, however. Trouble within Naohiro's family caused him to turn away from his career as a shinobi, though Kinsue never learned of the reason that he no longer saw his friend. Since then, he began to undertake more missions by himself.
A few weeks after his 12th birthday, Kinsue was assigned a run of the mill C rank mission alongside 2 other Genin his age: Yamai, Daiki and Matsuo, Akari. The mission seemed to be an ordinary bodyguard mission for a minor noble in the Land of Water. When the three Genin let their guard down, expecting an easy mission, they were attacked by two powerful missing-nin. The noble was the first casualty of the fight, with Kinsue's comrades falling soon after. Kinsue managed to escape back to the village with word of the attack, and the missing-nin were swiftly dealt with by Kiri.
Unfortunately this failed mission, coupled with an already existing sense of self-doubt thanks to Kaito's “training”, convinced Kinsue that he wasn't fit to be a shinobi. Lacking inspiration and blaming himself for the death of his comrades, he stopped making any progress for the next 2 years, only taking the occasional D rank mission to satisfy his family. Instead of training he spent a large amount of time hiding in the lower tiers of Kiri, away from the pressures and expectations placed upon him by the upper classes of the village. Katsurou was aware of what Kinsue was going through, and tried to convince him to get back to his regular training, but the boy kept the rest of his family in the dark regarding the nature of his lack of progress.
It was when Kinsue was 14 that he turned back into the shinobi he used to be. He and his family attended Kaito's Chuunin exam; where he was matched against Toukai, Tsubasa: one of the most skilled students from Kinsue's time at the academy. Unfortunately, she was poorly matched against her older and more experienced opponent. The day ended in her demise. To Kinsue it was clear that his brother had attacked Tsubasa even as she was declaring her surrender, but the exam's proctor agreed with his defence that the event was a reasonable mistake. Kaito was granted the rank of Chuunin. Urged on by Katsurou, Kinsue took that day as a motivation. He took on Tsubasa's goals as his own, and swore to become a great shinobi in the names of her and the team he had failed to defend years ago.

Chapter 1: BondsShow
Several months after his brother's Chuunin exam, Kinsue met several other Genin of interest during his duties as a shinobi. The first was his old friend Aisu, Naohiro; whom he was partnered with during the investigation of the accidental death of a Karagata at the hands of an Aisu. He went on to reconnect with his old friend, and soon found himself assigned to the same team as the young Aisu. Kinsue was not the first member of the relatively new Unit 12, but as time went by he and Naohiro would be the only two to remain a part of the team while other Shinobi came and went. Before long the two Genin formed a close and competitive rivalry, each attempting to gain the skill needed to outdo the other when the time came for their Chuunin exam.
Kashou, Akish was another Genin that Kinsue found himself interacting with during the 15th year of his life. The boy's beliefs helped inspire Kinsue to turn the shame of his failures into a base which he could use to achieve more in the future. As a result, his determination only grew, and he began to take more difficult missions more frequently. Even when he wasn't on mission, he would be training, and before long he could see his skills improving remarkably. His determination had become so that when he had encountered Kaikyo Kohan by chance, it wasn't long before the man had agreed to spar with him in order to help train the boy's skills. Throughout the encounter Kinsue realized that those in charge were not necessarily unapproachable, invincible figures, as he had always imagined. Instead, he realized that the only difference between the two groups was experience and skill, traits that he was determined to gain. If anything, the experience only reaffirmed his aim of gaining his own level of authority within the village.
As the days went by Kinsue grew ever closer to the level of skill that he knew he would need to achieve the promotion to Chuunin that he was striving for. It was at this time that Kyuo Kai, the Kyuudaime Mizukage, attained the most esteemed of ranks within Kirigakure. The event showed Kinsue once again that leadership consisted of more than simple coldness. Seeing how Kai approached the people in the village gave Kinsue an example that he felt he could follow. He could never be someone who sent faceless men to some faceless death, he didn't believe anyone could. Someone who did all he did for the benefit of the village, who cared for the people under his rule and truly wanted what was best for them. That was what Kinsue wanted to be. It was the day of Kai's coronation when Kinsue discovered how much he truly wanted to gain influence within the village. He no longer pursued his goals in order to compensate for his prior mistakes, but instead to help his village on its way to greater heights.
Not long after the coronation of the new Kage, Kinsue found himself working less and less with other Genin, and more with Naohiro. He knew that it would not be long until he would face his Chuunin exam, and so he made a point to redouble his training. It was during one of these training sessions that an odd occurrence occurred. Kinsue found himself in possession of a unique bloodline ability, inherited from his mother's side of the family. In learning of this ability, the Dōjutsu called the Toramugan, he discovered an old Journal written by the last man to have the ability, Terumī, Kazuken. Kinsue became obsessed with the legacy that his ancestor had left him, and quickly set out to master his bloodline. It seemed the final piece in preparing for his imminent chance at promotion.
When that chance came, Kinsue and Naohiro both gave their all in a closely matched battle. At times, Kinsue seemed to have gained the advantage with the use of his mist and his new ability. However, when the bout ended Naohiro emerged the victor and earned his promotion to Chuunin. Kinsue had failed, but for the first time his failure did not dismay him. He had come truly close to besting his long term rival, and he couldn't begrudge the Aisu such a well-earned victory. Instead, he continued his training. When the time came for his second opportunity for promotion; he defeated his opponent with ease. At long last, Kinsue was promoted to Chuunin at the age of 15.

Chapter 2: GrowthShow
Kinsue took the next few years as an opportunity to train and improve his standing within the village. He found himself placed under increased scrutiny from within his family; as his younger cousin Shinjiro, the son of Kosuke's brother Izune, was granted the honour of becoming host to the Katagenma: Vorashu. At the same time it became increasingly clear that Kaito might never rise above the mediocrity of his position as a Chuunin, and so the hopes of his parents began to fall more squarely on him and his potential as a shinobi.
Kinsue met this increased scrutiny with a determination to match. He took more difficult missions at an increased rate and saw them through to success; slowly improving his skills to the point where he could be selected for a promotion to Special Jounin. Despite the dissolution of Unit 12 once neither he nor Naohiro were Genin the two of them continued to work together frequently. Over time, the two of them continued to use each other to reach new heights of power.
When Kinsue was 19 years old; he and Naohiro were assigned to a mission that looked much like a test of their worth. The Daimyo of Water Country had finally reached out to Kirigakure for assistance in the matter of a powerful and thoroughly corrupt national official: Onho, Yukimura. With enough wealth to field a veritable army of skilled guards, the target seemed defended enough that the mission would have certainly been better assigned to an experienced assassination squad. The pair instead saw that a success was exactly what they needed to earn a long coveted promotion.
Finding passage to the official's residence on the ship of a man named Kaeda, the team snuck past Yukimura's security with ease. What they hasn't realized until it was too late was that Kaeda himself was one among many on the official's payroll. Kinsue and Naohiro were ambushed in Yukimura's chambers by a truly overwhelming number of enemy combatants. The pair were captured and placed in captivity while their fate was to be decided.
Their captors knew that the two of them were shinobi, and thus held significant value as bargaining tools should the need arise. However, despite being forced to weather torture for several days neither of them revealed their true value; that they were members of prestigious families and that one of them even possessed a priceless bloodline ability. Had Yukimura known the true value of his hostages, he might have found a deal with a pay-out greater than anything he could have imagined.
Instead, he elected to use the two shinobi in a show of force. After gathering his allies he made an event of the two shinobi; forcing them to battle beasts, slaves, and eventually each other to the death for his own twisted amusement. Kinsue struck down his closest friend, and after the day was done seemed to have been broken entirely. To prevent his captors from taking his life he told them of his family and of his value as a hostage.
Kinsue endured several more days of torture while Yukimura attempt to seek the highest bidder for a Karagata nobleman. Among the many scars inflicted, his torturers branded him with the very symbol he would wear so proudly on a regular day. A mark of shame, they called it, commemorating how he had failed to stay strong through his captivity.
In the end, all Yukimura achieved was to dreadfully underestimate the shinobi. Kinsue and Naohiro had faked the latter’s death through the use of his Hyouton Jutsu, and Kinsue had given them the truth about his family only as a ploy to buy the team enough time to regain their strength. When Kinsue's guards got complacent, thinking he was no longer a threat to them, he killed them easily in his escape. On the 15th day after he and Naohiro were ambushed, the two regrouped and successfully assassinated Onho, Yukimura.
On their return to the village, both Kinsue and Naohiro were awarded the rank of Special Jounin.
Over the ensuing weeks Kinsue's wounds were treaded such that scars did not even form. However, he requested that the brand of the Karagata remain. It would go on to serve as a reminder of what had come close to his darkest moment, and how he had overcome it with his will just as much as he had with his strength. Now, he continues to elevate his strength even further as he reaches for yet another promotion.

InterludeShow
While Kinsue had been earning his promotion to special Jounin, tensions had been rapidly rising within Kirigakure. The Mizukage, Kyuo Kai, had ordered the assassination of the village council. The five family heads, unable to stomach the threat to their power posed by the new Mizukage, reached out to the powerful Bannin Yami Kasai with the task of usurping Kai. Soon after, Kasai proved greater than Kai, and Kiri found itself under the rule of an 11th Mizukage.
Kasai soon organized and led a failed invasion of Soul Country, one in which Kinsue dutifully played a minor role. The turn of events proved a blow to the young shinobi. Kasai was a mighty shinobi, an unmatched weapon, but Kinsue found much to fault with his directives as leader. The invasion of Soul Country was poorly planned, with no heed paid to the opposition that would be faced. In the absence of being given a target Kasai had simply created one to strike at, and all it had done was weaken the position of the village.
At the same time, Kinsue’s father Kosuke developed a grave illness. Katsurou was granted full control over Kosuke’s former business affairs, and began working day and night to ensure the family’s power wouldn't fail due to the transition.
Kinsue knew that his brother was struggling without their father’s guiding hand, and at the same time was beginning to realize that he could no longer serve with the zeal he once had as a shinobi. Kinsue still believed in the code once drilled into him as a boy; that a shinobi must be willing to act without compromise as an extension of the Mizukage’s will.
There seemed to be only one honorable course of action left. So it was that Kinsue offered his resignation to the village council, and offered to work as an aide to Katsurou in civilian service. From then on, Kinsue’s contribution to the village would no longer be by force of arms, but instead through helping to uphold the dealings that underpinned the Karagata family’s power within the village.
For the next 6 years, and through the Great War, Kinsue worked alongside his brother. He found he had a mind for the business of the Karagata. An eye for deception was one already encouraged in a shinobi, and he found himself suited to the detailed and complex work of allowing trade to flow. Yet, even to this day the work paled in comparison to the highs he had lived through as a shinobi. At his core, Kinsue hopes still that something may bring him new hope for the village and its purpose; and allow him to serve again as he once did.

Jutsu
Ninjutsu
Taijutsu
C Rank: 3
[Just Listen]
C-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Any time the user is moving, they have trained themselves to be attuned to the sound of people moving. This passive technique allows the user to accurately pinpoint targets within 30 metres of their location, and can differentiate the sounds of multiple people to separate targets and determine how many people are in a given area even if they can’t see them.
[Featherstep]
C-Rank Taijutsu Stance
The user has learned to move in a particular way to lighten the tread of their feet and with carefully placed steps. This allows the user to move without leaving any visible trail to all but the most experienced of trackers, eliminating obvious environmental disturbances and signs such as footprints, scuffs, displaced dirt, and so on. The lightfooted nature of this stance imparts a +6 to Speed at the cost of -6 to Strength as the user primes their muscles for swift and gentle movement rather than power.
[Projectile Whistles]
C-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
The user has attuned their hearing to the sound of things moving through the air within 30 metres of their person. This allows them to hear projectiles flying at them from a general location, even if they can’t see the source.
B Rank: 4
[Analyse]
B-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
The user has learned to attune their hearing to target desired, specific sources of sound, and effectively block out all other distractions. This allows them to focus on individual targets or sounds, for example being able to pick out one conversation within a busy room, or identify one set of footsteps from among many. When focusing on a particular sound, the user can effortlessly interpret its characteristics to learn details about the source. For example, analysing the sound of footsteps can reveal the weight, size, or speed of a target, while hearing the rustle of movement could reveal the presence of armour, weapons, or other worn materials, and hearing the sound of weapons or projectiles can inform the user about the type, size, speed or strength of the weapons in use.
[Argus]
B-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
The user has trained their vision to accurately pick up on and interpret details even through darkness or dense visual obstructions. This technique allows the user to see clearly through shadows, darkness, or semi-transparent media such as water, ice, smoke, mist, dust, heat shimmers, and other airbourne particulate or visual disturbances out to a distance of 60 metres.
[Target Speed]
B-Rank Taijutsu Manoeuvre
The user strikes with pinpoint accuracy at the correct pressure points or muscle groups on an opponent's body that can effectively debilitate their speed. When struck, the opponent suffers a shock throughout their body and a sudden loss of mobility, manifesting as a -6 to Speed for the next five posts. This technique can be applied using a thrown weapon, however doing so from range lowers the potency of the strike and only imparts a -3 penalty to Speed instead.
[Target Strength]
B-Rank Taijutsu Manoeuvre
The user strikes with pinpoint accuracy at the correct pressure points or muscle groups on an opponent's body that can effectively debilitate their strength. When struck, the opponent suffers a shock throughout their body and a sudden loss of vigour, manifesting as a -6 to Strength for the next five posts. This technique can be applied using a thrown weapon, however doing so from range lowers the potency of the strike and only imparts a -3 penalty to Strength instead.
A Rank: 5
[Heartbeat]
A-Tank Taijutsu Discipline
The user has attuned their hearing to the sound of heartbeats. This allows them to accurately locate and track anything with a heartbeat within 50 metres of their person, and filter the sound of heartbeats out from other surrounding noises and distractions regardless of environment.
[Precision Aim]
A-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
The user has studied anatomy to the extent that they can passively apply that knowledge to their strikes and aim in the heat of combat. This allows the user to identify and exploit opportunities for pinpoint attacks to cause severe internal damage to a target, such as breaking bones, rupturing organs, slicing muscles and tendons, and so forth. This technique aids the user in spotting weak points in the armour or guard of a target and deliving precision attacks in those areas to bypass physical defences and strike the body beneath.
[Ghoststep]
A-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Prerequisite: [Featherstep] or *Fuuton • Wind Skating
The user has learned to move with exceptional care and finesse, lightening the tread of their feet and stepping with extreme care or by marginally levitating their feet with a subconscious application of fuuton chakra. This allows the user to move without detriment while eliminating all traces of their passing, leaving no physical sign. Additionally, the user can move as normal without triggering physical traps such as pressure plates or tripwires. If moving via fuuton, the swirling chakra additionally scours away any scent left behind by the user. If moving via careful physical steps, the user leaves no residue of chakra use. The lightfooted nature of this stance can impart a boost to speed of up to +12, at the cost of a corresponding debuff to Strength as the user primes their muscles for swift and gentle movement rather than power.
[Instant Strike]
A-Rank Nintaijutsu Manoeuvre
The user prepares an attack or action before priming their muscles and surging forward in an instantaneous, chakra-assisted movement towards or away from a target within 50 metres, which consumes one of the user's two available teleport movements per thread. This allows the user to jump forward and deliver a lightning-fast series of strikes to a target without any perceivable precursor motion, or to attack a target already in range and then instaneously move away to a safe location by identifying an object within range that is at least 1/5th the user's size while preparing the technique. An object used in this manner must be solid and must not already be imbued with foreign chakra. The user can perform up to [Base Speed/10] strikes as part of this technique, performed at up to +12 Speed, but the focus on rapid motion leaves the user unprepared to guard and thus a corresponding Endurance debuff for the duration of the strike.
[Coverage]
A-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
The user has learned how to make the most effective use of their environment to avoid being seen and detected. This allows the user to effectively conceal themselves and blend into an environment with minimal effort, increasing their effectiveness at hiding in mist, water, ice, foliage, behind terrain, and so forth.
S Rank: 5
[Venator]
S-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Keen eyes and a wealth of tracking experience allows the user to easily identify and track all manner of targets over extreme distances, regardless of terrain type or method of travel. The practitioner can subconsciouly pick up on signs such as disturbed foliage, footprints, and environmental disturbances, and can accurately determine their age, source, and direction of travel by their condition. The user can accurately pick out individuals from many different traces and determine the number of companions or accomplaces with the target.
[Quiescence]
S-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
The user has learned to move in total silence, and does not produce any sound when moving through any means. They cannot be heard unless a person listening for them has a specialized hearing technique of equal or higher rank.
[Reaper]
S-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
The user has trained themselves to become perfectly attuned to all manner of sounds in a wide vicinity of their person, and can focus their hearing to up to 150 metres to identify and track targets. This passive technique allows the practitioner to accurately identify and differentiate people, animals, and all sources of noise within 50 metres of their person, even in the face of loud complicated distractions, noise, or interference. Over 50 metres, the accuracy of the technique suffers slightly and hearing at such an extent requires fewer distractions. Over 100 metres, the user requires silence in their immediate vicinity and can only gauge an approximate direction, distance, and quantity of noise sources, but can still identify the type of creature. The maximum range of this technique is 150 metres. Additionally, the user has learned to interpret vibrations through the ground as a rudimentary tremorsense, and is able to accurately track sources of movement through vibrations within 50 metres of their location.
[Chemosensory]
S-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
The user has achieved exceptional proficiency in identifying and interpreting different tastes and scents, and can recall previously encountered tastes and scents with remarkable accuracy from a mental catalogue of sources. This allows the user to detect trace amounts of scent even from minute sources, such as from a blade of grass that touched the leg of a fleeing target, from old footprints, or traces of scent on the wind over great distances. Additionally, the user's knowledge of scents and tastes allows them to accurately determine the origin and age of a source, and with multiple sources can effectively determine a direction and speed of travel.
[Blurred Movement]
S-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Having undertaken intensive training sessions to drill the body into extreme high speed movement, the user has mastered a method of moving and fighting which makes their motions highly confusing to an opponent. This causes the user's movements and attacks to become extremely blurred and impossible to see or follow for anyone without a visual perception technique of equal or higher rank. Even those with such a technique will find it harder to determine the user's attack patterns or where they are aiming to strike.
[Kettou: 10 Paces]
C-rank Taijutsu Stance
A key technique for dueling, the user must have Speed equal to or greater than their opponent to properly utilize, but can use it to some success as low as -5 Speed from their opponent. The user will situate themselves 5m away from the opponent, and then will always match the speed of their opponent to conduct the opposite movement. If the opponent moves forward, the user will move backward, if they rotate to the left, the user will rotate to the right. This means the pair will always be exactly distant from each other, creating ample opportunity to respond to any attacks.

During a duel, feints allow the duelist to confuse their opponent, predict counters, and protect themselves. This discipline allows the user to turn virtually any attack into a feint. As long as the strike has not made contact, the user can pull it back. Opponents with less speed, or inadequate perception are left unable to distinguish between feints and genuine attacks.
[Kettou: Close Quarters Combat]
B-rank Taijutsu Discipline
A master of close quarters combat, the user is able to exert the full of their strength with even the tiniest of movements, allowing them to replicate the strength of a full swing or strike with just a flick of their wrist. This allows the user to fight in incredibly close quarters or cramped spaces without losing efficiency.
A Rank: 1
[Kettou: Supplement]
A-rank Taijutsu Stance
While a somewhat basic dueling stance, this stance provides enormous value to Kettou practitioners. As Kettou is designed to supplement any type of fighter, this stance acts as a seamless intermediary between stances in other disciplines. Masters of this technique can seamlessly switch between stances and maneuvers of various taijutsu styles, without having to take normal prerequisite steps, positions, or preparations. This allows Kettou practitioners to integrate Kettou into virtually any fighting style without suffering any deficits.

After channelling chakra into his eyes, Kinsue will activate the Toramugan, switching the spectrum of light that he sees to near-infrared. This has the effect of allowing him limited night vision. This basic iteration of the Toramugan is not greatly refined, however, and so Kinsue is only able to clearly see approximately 30 meters in the dark, and will be near blinded by any source of bright light that he sees directly.

An advanced form of the Transformation Technique, after performing the correct hand seals and holding the final one temporarily, the user will coat and mould chakra around their body into the shape and form of something or someone which is no more than twice their size. This technique's true advantage is that the disguise is given physical substance. This means, for example, if they transform into something with claws, they will have claws that can physically be used. For the disguises 5 post duration, if it is damaged by a hit of more than [control] strength, the disguise "poofs" from existence. This includes collateral damage caused by striking an opponent that may occur to the disguise.
Ninjutsu • Booming Voice
C-Rank Ninjutsu
After forming the correct hand seals, Kinsue will cup his hands around his mouth, as if he were about to scream. The Jutsu will then affect his voice, amplifying it so that it can be heard from up to 75 meters away. This Jutsu is also formed in such a manner that it will pass through any mist that contains Kinsue's own chakra as if it were not there, allowing him to be heard inside his mist as well.
Ninjutsu • Echoing Voice
C-Rank Ninjutsu
Prerequisites: Ninjutsu • Booming Voice; Must be within mist; 10 control.
After using the Booming voice technique, Kinsue will add another seal before cupping his hands around his mouth. This seal will change the way that his mist allows the sound through it as, instead of simply parting to allow sound through, it will instead partially reflect the sound and then add the strength lost to it so that it is not dampened. This results in Kinsue's voice being reflected across the entirely of his mist, rendering those who hear his voice hear it as if it is echoing from all directions. This effectively prevents opponents from tracking Kinsue down through the sound of his voice.

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.

The mist limits the visibility of those inside to 1 meter in any direction, and dampens scents, weakening any advanced scent techniques, or controlled scent techniques by 4m. Additionally, sound is dampened as well, which can make it more difficult to communicate plans through the mist without advanced hearing techniques. Those without advanced hearing techniques won't be able to hear anything that's not within 5meters of them, while advanced hearing is limited to 10m. Additionally, the mist is saturated in chakra, which makes it impossible for sensors outside the mist to sense who is within it. This technique lasts a number of posts equal to the user's 1/2 Chakra pool.
*Mist Subjugation

Fuuton • Air Cushion
D-rank Ninjutsu
After forming a short string of hand seals, air will compact itself into a 4 meter radius "cushion" of sorts that is used to soften a fall from a great height. This won't prevent all damage but it will prevent major injury. It can be used up to 20 meters away from the user. It lasts until the end of the post it’s used in and dissipates after one use.
*Fuuton • Wind Skating
D-Ranked Ninjutsu
After performing the needed hand seals, the user is able to glide on air as if they were skating on ice. This allows them to move faster (+3 speed) but lowers their ability to translate force (-3 Strength). This doesn't allow them to fly, but rather to travel over things like land, water, and ice with greater ease. The user is only held several inches off of the ground. This Jutsu does not expire until the user’s chakra supply runs out or the user shuts it off. The Fuuton passive is not applied in this technique.
*Fuuton • Vortex Screw

The mountain forms with [Control] strength, making this extremely devastating to terrain and capable of rewriting entire maps. The mountain forms at a rate of 7 meters for length and 3 meters for height for every 10 points of control the user has put into the jutsu, per post, growing out from the user which is it's epicenter. This technique can be used for a maximum of 5 posts, however it is very rare for anyone to hold such a taxing technique for such an extended period of time, due to it taking the full amount of stamina from the technique. The mountain formed has a single peak, the rest of it being a ridge.

[Blackjack]
C-Rank Taijutsu Manouevre
Prerequisite: [Close Quarters Combat]
The user aims a powerful blow towards the temple of an opponent, using a hard striking point such as the heel of the hand, an elbow, knee, or rigid fist. A clean hit against an opponent with five or more strength less than the user's will be knocked unconscious for two posts from the sudden cranial impact. Targets able to resist the knock-out will instead be dazed for one post, disorientated from the blow, unless their strength is greater than the user's.
[Arm Lock Counter]
C-Rank Taijutsu Manoeuvre
Prerequisite: [Close Quarters Combat]
By successfully seizing hold of an opponent's hand, wrist, or arm, typically done as a counterstrike after dodging an incoming attack, the user has learnt how to twist and lock the opponent's limb to apply severe pressure to the arm and wrist joints. By carefully controlling the amount of pressure, the user can attempt to incapacitate a target for up to two posts with intense pain and the threat of breaking the joint. Opponents stronger than the user are unaffected. Should the user have five or more strength than the opponent, they can choose to snap the joint to render the opponent's hand useless for the remainder of the encounter.
[Disarm]
C-Rank Taijutsu Manoeuvre
Prerequisite: [Close Quarters Combat]
A staple technique to fight against armed opponents, the user has learnt to strike at hands, wrists, elbows and shoulders in a manner that has a high chance to cause an opponent to release a held object or weapon. This is most effective when counterattacking after evading an incoming strike, or after gaining a firm hold of an opponent. Foes with a strength stat greater than the user's will be unaffected by this technique.

Mist's ShieldShow
Mist's Shield
To compensate for his lack of strength in battle, Kinsue has learned to use his speed to keep him alive in close quarters. Emulating the Mist that he has grown to use, Kinsue has trained himself not to block the attacks of his enemy, but to dodge them using his [Acrobatics]. He then uses his [Close Quarters Combat] to strike back at his foe, not through brute force, but by tripping them up and inhibiting their ability to fight effectively.
D Rank: 8
Mist's Shield • Ukemi Mastery
D-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Kinsue has trained and perfected his Ukemi. This means he can naturally (like second nature) perform and seamlessly move into a roll, forwards, backwards or sideways from any position. This has many practical uses but is mainly used as a response to being thrown, knocked over, or falling, as Kinsue can use a roll to distribute his weight and minimize the impact damage.
Mist's Shield • Ready
D-Rank Taijutsu Stance
When assuming this stance Kinsue focuses his energy into the balls of his feet as he takes a light-footed position. This focus allows him to move more quickly and with less of an acceleration time (+3 Speed), but to offset this he is unable to strike with as much force as normal (-3 Strength).
Mist's Shield • Low Sweep
D-Rank Taijutsu Manoeuvre
This attack sees Kinsue aim a low horizontal kick at the back of the target's knee. The attack is not intended to cause damage so much as it is intended to cause the foe to lose his balance and fall over, setting Kinsue up for further attacks.
Mist's Shield • Somersaults
D-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Kinsue has trained himself to be able to perform somersaults backwards, forwards and sideways without compromising on speed as a means of dodging the attacks of his enemies and enjoying greater mobility in battle.
Mist's Shield • Fake out
D-rank Taijutsu Manoeuvre
This manoeuvre sees Kinsue kick at his opponent slowly, aiming at their midsection so that the opponent will try and catch his leg. When his leg is caught, the user will then either then swing their body around to smash their free leg into the targets head or they will swing in the opposite direction and hit the target in the knees/legs.
Skyfall
D-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
Skyfall is a technique that can be added to any flipping technique. Utilizing agility and speed, the user will extend one leg to deliver a kick while flipping, built with power from the flip. The direction and effectiveness of the flip depend on other techniques and ingenuity.
Afterthought
D-Rank Taijutsu Manoeuvre
Due to the fast-paced nature of this style, there are times when an opponent's movements change the required path for an attack. Any time a kick does not hit its intended target; the user is able to launch a second kick very quickly, and without retracting the leg entirely. This results in less time for the target to dodge or block, but makes it impossible to strike with full strength, resulting in -3 strength to the follow up kick. This can be repeated, but will likely become predictable after one or two.
Jumping Round House
D-Ranked Taijutsu Maneuver
The user will first raise one leg, as if to strike with a round house kick, but at the last moment, he will jump and kick with the other leg, likely catching the opponent off guard, while also kicking with a great deal of power.
C Rank: 3
Drop-Kick
C-Rank Taijutsu Manoeuvre
One of the few offensive techniques in his repertoire, this technique is used to catch the opponent off guard and force them off balance. Starting with a step or two to build momentum, the user will charge at the opponent and leap forcefully into the air, bringing his legs up together to kick the target with the full force of momentum, body weight, and added force from the kick. This will send the user falling toward the ground, but in a controlled and predictable manner so he can recover with a roll or kip up.
Ripcord
C-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
This technique is often used when a kick is narrowly dodged. The user will bring his second leg up parallel to the first, with the opponent's body part in the middle. He will then wrench his body with all of his might to kick with both legs in a scissor formation. It can catch a target off guard and knock them off balance, or even floor them.
High Rise
C-Ranked Taijutsu Maneuver
Though he is more accustomed to fighting opponents individually or in small numbers, the user is also able to face many at once. Due to his preference toward having sufficient space to move, any time that he is fighting in a crowd, or if he is surrounded, he will seek to get out of the center as quickly as possible, preventing most of his enemies from converging on him at once. To accomplish this, he will leap into the air, aiming to land a foot on the shoulder of one of his opponents or a bystander. He will then leap from shoulder to shoulder, maintaining balance and momentum so that he is only touching each person for a moment. This allows him to escape from a crowd quickly, and can be combined with other techniques to add aggression to his escape.

[Hunter’s Cryptolect]
D-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
A Head Hunter can convey a hundred meanings without ever opening their mouth. This discipline represents the user’s mastery of the Hunter’s Cryptolect, a secretive and complicated means of communication taught exclusively to members of Kirigakure’s Head Hunter Division. More than just a spoken or written language, the Cryptolect incorporates vocal, somatic, tonal and metered elements which can be used individually or together to convey detailed private messages. This grants practitioners the ability to communicate silently such as through hand signs and body language, cryptically through a scrambled written or spoken cipher, or even by hiding meanings and messages in plain sight by concealing elements of the Cryptolect into seemingly plain, everyday sentences, for example by using tones, accents, or hidden patterns in the meter of a phrase. This communication is innately cryptic and unintuitive, often interspersed with rogue elements to throw off a potential eavesdropper, making it nigh impossible to be realised—let alone properly interpreted—by anyone not trained in its particular use at the Head Hunter Division headquarters.

Quote:[Silent Hunter]
The Silent Hunter style originated as a series of silent fighting techniques developed by Commander Karagata Shiv of Kirigakure's Head Hunter Division, further applied by Overseer Kaikyo Kohon of the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist, and finally revised and reimagined by Aisu Naohiro to become an expansive doctrine of techniques essential to any eager Head Hunter to aid in infiltration, tracking, and assassination.

C Rank: 3
[Just Listen]
C-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Any time the user is moving, they have trained themselves to be attuned to the sound of people moving. This passive technique allows the user to accurately pinpoint targets within 30 metres of their location, and can differentiate the sounds of multiple people to separate targets and determine how many people are in a given area even if they can’t see them.
[Featherstep]
C-Rank Taijutsu Stance
The user has learned to move in a particular way to lighten the tread of their feet and with carefully placed steps. This allows the user to move without leaving any visible trail to all but the most experienced of trackers, eliminating obvious environmental disturbances and signs such as footprints, scuffs, displaced dirt, and so on. The lightfooted nature of this stance imparts a +6 to Speed at the cost of -6 to Strength as the user primes their muscles for swift and gentle movement rather than power.
[Projectile Whistles]
C-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
The user has attuned their hearing to the sound of things moving through the air within 30 metres of their person. This allows them to hear projectiles flying at them from a general location, even if they can’t see the source.
B Rank: 4
[Analyse]
B-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
The user has learned to attune their hearing to target desired, specific sources of sound, and effectively block out all other distractions. This allows them to focus on individual targets or sounds, for example being able to pick out one conversation within a busy room, or identify one set of footsteps from among many. When focusing on a particular sound, the user can effortlessly interpret its characteristics to learn details about the source. For example, analysing the sound of footsteps can reveal the weight, size, or speed of a target, while hearing the rustle of movement could reveal the presence of armour, weapons, or other worn materials, and hearing the sound of weapons or projectiles can inform the user about the type, size, speed or strength of the weapons in use.
[Argus]
B-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
The user has trained their vision to accurately pick up on and interpret details even through darkness or dense visual obstructions. This technique allows the user to see clearly through shadows, darkness, or semi-transparent media such as water, ice, smoke, mist, dust, heat shimmers, and other airbourne particulate or visual disturbances out to a distance of 60 metres.
[Target Speed]
B-Rank Taijutsu Manoeuvre
The user strikes with pinpoint accuracy at the correct pressure points or muscle groups on an opponent's body that can effectively debilitate their speed. When struck, the opponent suffers a shock throughout their body and a sudden loss of mobility, manifesting as a -6 to Speed for the next five posts. This technique can be applied using a thrown weapon, however doing so from range lowers the potency of the strike and only imparts a -3 penalty to Speed instead.
[Target Strength]
B-Rank Taijutsu Manoeuvre
The user strikes with pinpoint accuracy at the correct pressure points or muscle groups on an opponent's body that can effectively debilitate their strength. When struck, the opponent suffers a shock throughout their body and a sudden loss of vigour, manifesting as a -6 to Strength for the next five posts. This technique can be applied using a thrown weapon, however doing so from range lowers the potency of the strike and only imparts a -3 penalty to Strength instead.
A Rank: 5
[Heartbeat]
A-Tank Taijutsu Discipline
The user has attuned their hearing to the sound of heartbeats. This allows them to accurately locate and track anything with a heartbeat within 50 metres of their person, and filter the sound of heartbeats out from other surrounding noises and distractions regardless of environment.
[Precision Aim]
A-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
The user has studied anatomy to the extent that they can passively apply that knowledge to their strikes and aim in the heat of combat. This allows the user to identify and exploit opportunities for pinpoint attacks to cause severe internal damage to a target, such as breaking bones, rupturing organs, slicing muscles and tendons, and so forth. This technique aids the user in spotting weak points in the armour or guard of a target and deliving precision attacks in those areas to bypass physical defences and strike the body beneath.
[Ghoststep]
A-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Prerequisite: [Featherstep] or *Fuuton • Wind Skating
The user has learned to move with exceptional care and finesse, lightening the tread of their feet and stepping with extreme care or by marginally levitating their feet with a subconscious application of fuuton chakra. This allows the user to move without detriment while eliminating all traces of their passing, leaving no physical sign. Additionally, the user can move as normal without triggering physical traps such as pressure plates or tripwires. If moving via fuuton, the swirling chakra additionally scours away any scent left behind by the user. If moving via careful physical steps, the user leaves no residue of chakra use. The lightfooted nature of this stance can impart a boost to speed of up to +12, at the cost of a corresponding debuff to Strength as the user primes their muscles for swift and gentle movement rather than power.
[Instant Strike]
A-Rank Nintaijutsu Manoeuvre
The user prepares an attack or action before priming their muscles and surging forward in an instantaneous, chakra-assisted movement towards or away from a target within 50 metres, which consumes one of the user's two available teleport movements per thread. This allows the user to jump forward and deliver a lightning-fast series of strikes to a target without any perceivable precursor motion, or to attack a target already in range and then instaneously move away to a safe location by identifying an object within range that is at least 1/5th the user's size while preparing the technique. An object used in this manner must be solid and must not already be imbued with foreign chakra. The user can perform up to [Base Speed/10] strikes as part of this technique, performed at up to +12 Speed, but the focus on rapid motion leaves the user unprepared to guard and thus a corresponding Endurance debuff for the duration of the strike.
[Coverage]
A-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
The user has learned how to make the most effective use of their environment to avoid being seen and detected. This allows the user to effectively conceal themselves and blend into an environment with minimal effort, increasing their effectiveness at hiding in mist, water, ice, foliage, behind terrain, and so forth.
S Rank: 5
[Venator]
S-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Keen eyes and a wealth of tracking experience allows the user to easily identify and track all manner of targets over extreme distances, regardless of terrain type or method of travel. The practitioner can subconsciouly pick up on signs such as disturbed foliage, footprints, and environmental disturbances, and can accurately determine their age, source, and direction of travel by their condition. The user can accurately pick out individuals from many different traces and determine the number of companions or accomplaces with the target.
[Quiescence]
S-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
The user has learned to move in total silence, and does not produce any sound when moving through any means. They cannot be heard unless a person listening for them has a specialized hearing technique of equal or higher rank.
[Reaper]
S-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
The user has trained themselves to become perfectly attuned to all manner of sounds in a wide vicinity of their person, and can focus their hearing to up to 150 metres to identify and track targets. This passive technique allows the practitioner to accurately identify and differentiate people, animals, and all sources of noise within 50 metres of their person, even in the face of loud complicated distractions, noise, or interference. Over 50 metres, the accuracy of the technique suffers slightly and hearing at such an extent requires fewer distractions. Over 100 metres, the user requires silence in their immediate vicinity and can only gauge an approximate direction, distance, and quantity of noise sources, but can still identify the type of creature. The maximum range of this technique is 150 metres. Additionally, the user has learned to interpret vibrations through the ground as a rudimentary tremorsense, and is able to accurately track sources of movement through vibrations within 50 metres of their location.
[Chemosensory]
S-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
The user has achieved exceptional proficiency in identifying and interpreting different tastes and scents, and can recall previously encountered tastes and scents with remarkable accuracy from a mental catalogue of sources. This allows the user to detect trace amounts of scent even from minute sources, such as from a blade of grass that touched the leg of a fleeing target, from old footprints, or traces of scent on the wind over great distances. Additionally, the user's knowledge of scents and tastes allows them to accurately determine the origin and age of a source, and with multiple sources can effectively determine a direction and speed of travel.
[Blurred Movement]
S-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Having undertaken intensive training sessions to drill the body into extreme high speed movement, the user has mastered a method of moving and fighting which makes their motions highly confusing to an opponent. This causes the user's movements and attacks to become extremely blurred and impossible to see or follow for anyone without a visual perception technique of equal or higher rank. Even those with such a technique will find it harder to determine the user's attack patterns or where they are aiming to strike.
KettouShow
As much of the training in the academy focuses on having students fight each other to get experience, the academy teaches a basic dueling style to virtually all of it’s students. The style is focused on one on one engagements, and is meant to provide the combatant with key skills to manage one-on-one fights and keep themselves with the upper-hand. The style focuses primarily on controlling the space between two combatants, disarming opponents, and nullifying common types of attacks in order to maximize generating openings and how long the user can fight against their opponent. Kettou is intentionally designed to be able to be done empty handed, holding kunai, swords, or two-handed weapons, allowing it to be used in most situations regardless of the users standard fighting style.
Prerequisite: Kirigakure Shinobi, [Close Quarters Combat]
C Rank: 1
Prerequisite: Kirigakure Shinobi, [Close Quarters Combat]
[Kettou: 10 Paces]
C-rank Taijutsu Stance
A key technique for dueling, the user must have Speed equal to or greater than their opponent to properly utilize, but can use it to some success as low as -5 Speed from their opponent. The user will situate themselves 5m away from the opponent, and then will always match the speed of their opponent to conduct the opposite movement. If the opponent moves forward, the user will move backward, if they rotate to the left, the user will rotate to the right. This means the pair will always be exactly distant from each other, creating ample opportunity to respond to any attacks.
B Rank: 2
[Kettou: Feint]
B-rank Taijutsu Discipline
During a duel, feints allow the duelist to confuse their opponent, predict counters, and protect themselves. This discipline allows the user to turn virtually any attack into a feint. As long as the strike has not made contact, the user can pull it back. Opponents with less speed, or inadequate perception are left unable to distinguish between feints and genuine attacks.
[Kettou: Close Quarters Combat]
B-rank Taijutsu Discipline
A master of close quarters combat, the user is able to exert the full of their strength with even the tiniest of movements, allowing them to replicate the strength of a full swing or strike with just a flick of their wrist. This allows the user to fight in incredibly close quarters or cramped spaces without losing efficiency.
A Rank: 1
[Kettou: Supplement]
A-rank Taijutsu Stance
While a somewhat basic dueling stance, this stance provides enormous value to Kettou practitioners. As Kettou is designed to supplement any type of fighter, this stance acts as a seamless intermediary between stances in other disciplines. Masters of this technique can seamlessly switch between stances and maneuvers of various taijutsu styles, without having to take normal prerequisite steps, positions, or preparations. This allows Kettou practitioners to integrate Kettou into virtually any fighting style without suffering any deficits.

[b][color=mediumseagreen]Physical Features:[/color][/b]
[list][*][i][color=mediumseagreen]Face/head:[/color][/i] Kinsue's face lacks much to set him aside from many others. His nose and mouth are both rather thin, while his ears are also smaller than most. He tends to keep his shoulder length hair loose.
[*][i][color=mediumseagreen]Body:[/color][/i] As a result of living in Kirigakure, Kinsue's skin is almost abnormally pale. He lacks the muscular build that one might expect from an experienced warrior, and can often appear significantly frailer than he really is to the casual observer.
[*][i][color=mediumseagreen]Notable Features:[/color][/i] An extensive purple birthmark runs down his left arm, covering the inner art of his arm beginning at his elbow and ending level with his wrist. In addition, the kraken of the Karagata has been branded onto his back between his shoulder blades.[/list]
[b][color=mediumseagreen]Clothing/Accessories:[/color][/b] Kinsue's most noticeable item of clothing is a large black hooded cloak that hides most of his features, on the back of which is emblazoned the Karagata crest in white. Beneath this cloak he wears a loose plain black shirt with no sleeves, though he has taken to wrapping up his left arm in order to keep his birthmark hidden. He also wears long black pants that go down to his ankles, which he straps at their ends to ensure that they cannot be caught on debris or grabbed by an enemy. A dark grey belt with 2 pouches on the left hip, a spot for a water skin, and 3 pouches on the right hip can generally be found buckled around his waist when he is on a mission. He tends to favour comfortable toe-less shoes made of black leather. His Forehead Protector uses a dark blue cloth.
Through his years of working as a civilian, Kinsue has taken to wearing more formal garb as a matter of course. His favorite outfit is a black kimono and hakama with silver trim, over which is added a white haori and tasseled obi. The haori may also have a Karagata kraken in black sewn into its back, depending on the occasion.
[b][color=mediumseagreen]Personality:[/color][/b]
[list][*][i][color=mediumseagreen]General:[/color][/i] Kinsue is not a man who enjoys being known. Depending on the circumstance, acquaintances may find him cold and formal, focussed on his duties as a shinobi above all else, or affable but distant in a social setting. What most agree on is that he is courteous and decent; the kind of man who doesn't abuse his status or power even when the societal pendulum swings in his favour. There’s nothing [i]wrong[/i] with Kinsue, they might conclude, he just isn’t the kind of man you form a connection with barring great effort or kind circumstance.
Only family and close friends get to see Kinsue for who he really is, a man whose optimism repeatedly clashes with the world he lives in. He tries to maintain an upbeat demeanour, quick to quip and raise the spirits of those he's close to, but often is unable to keep it up when confronted with the darker side of his village and his work. In such moments, he tends towards quietness and hesitancy towards social interaction. He can be quick to doubt his own ability, but rarely abides a similar trait in the people he grows close to.
Though truly loyal to Kirigakure, he looks upon its darker practices with distain and sees only waste in its cruelty. As a result, he hides his moderate tendencies behind a mask of what he thinks people expect from him. The truest thing most see about him is his dedication towards his role as shinobi, and his keen desire to play a role in making his village something even more worthy of his loyalty and adoration.
[*][i][color=mediumseagreen]Hopes/Dreams:[/color][/i] Kinsue's greatest desire is to guide his village towards a greater future. He wishes to build a power base from which he can affect her policy, and undertake missions to expand her global influence.
[*][i][color=mediumseagreen]Fears:[/color][/i] Kinsue fears his own weakness, and that it will cause him to fail when his success is most desperately needed.
[*][i][color=mediumseagreen]Combat Mentality:[/color][/i] Kinsue prefers to fight from a distance and within his mist. With the advantage given to him by the Toramugan, he generally attempts to take away the opponent's ability to retaliate, before moving in for a killing blow.[/list]

[table]
[table=2, Abilities][b][color=mediumseagreen]First Ability[/color][/b][c][quote=Toramugan]A Dōjutsu inherited from his mother's side of the family. The Toramugan allows Kinsue to see beyond the regular spectrum of vision, instead transcending into infrared. When the ability is activated, Kinsue's vision is replaced by sight through the infrared wavelength. This affords Kinsue the ability to see in situations where most humans cannot, be it through night vision or thermal imaging. When the Dōjutsu is activated, Kinsue's dark blue eyes lighten in colour to a light, electric blue, while his sclera develops a slight orange tint. The Toramugan is activated via Jutsu. As such, it is capable of ability channelling, allowing Kinsue to activate it without hand seals.
Prolonged usage of the Toramugan is strenuous and requires a high level of endurance. The maximum operating time that Kinsue can utilize the Dōjutsu is equal to his stamina stat divided by 4 rounded down, to a minimum of one post. Upon reaching the max duration, the stress of using the Toramugan to its limit causes a cooldown period of 1/2 of the duration time, to a minimum of one post. During this cooldown period, the Toramugan cannot be activated and attempting to do so will cause physical pain. Duration is based off total posts where the Toramugan is activated, meaning Kinsue can turn it on and off to have a shorter cooldown. Seeing through the infrared wavelength allows Kinsue the ability to see in the dark, as well as through rain and most particulates, such as mist. Jutsu used in relation with the Toramugan stack with Ninpou for the purposes of pyramids.[/quote]
[c][b][color=mediumseagreen]Second Ability[/color][/b][c]
[quote=Volatile Elementalist]
For most, the art of elemental ninjutsu is a battle of control over nature itself. With years of experience and mastery over the field, Kinsue has discovered a way to release some of that grip and enhance his techniques by doing so.
Whenever Kinsue uses an elemental jutsu, he has the option of casting it in its [b]Volatile Form[/b]. Volatile jutsu react more severely to clashes with other elements. As such, the bonus applicable when a volatile jutsu clashes with an element it is strong against is doubled (-10 strength for the weak jutsu instead of -5). However, this cuts both ways. If the volatile jutsu clashes against an element it is weak against, its penalty will also be doubled.

[quote=Mist Release]
A character with this concentration is able to utilize [color=#80a0ff]Mist[/color], an extension composed of Fuuton and Suiton, and can make and use any custom or archived Jutsu that require Mist.

[quote=Chiton][color=#8B0000][b]Chiton Affinity[/b][/color]
A character with this concentration is able to utilize Chiton, and advanced form of Suiton, and can make and use any custom or archived jutsu that require the Chiton affinity. Chiton has an [b]replenishing[/b] effect.
[spoiler=Passive (Replenishing)]Chiton has an [b]replenishing[/b] effect. This means that Chiton jutsu passively repair themselves when damaged, at no additional cost to the user. The rate of repairing itself is 1/3rd the speed of the technique rounded up, so a Chiton defense that manifests at 10 speed would repair itself at 4 speed when damaged. This only works for the length of the technique, so maintaining the damage to Chiton until the jutsu expires will stop it from regrowing. [/spoiler][/quote]

The mask is plain white porcelain, bearing the symbol of Kirigakure on the forehad and two thin slits for eye holes.
[color=mediumseagreen][b]Kaguya Bone Senbon:[/b][/color] A set of 5 specialized Senbon imbued with special chakra. giving the set two different effects. When thrown it will cause for the thrower to become invisible to the naked eye for the next four posts as long as the thrower does not exceed 1/3 of their [Speed]. The needles themselves are able to alter their course of flight to home in on their intended target for the next two posts but are unable to make radical changes in their course of flight. Able to swerve left and right up to forty-five degrees in flight to respond changes from the target and to bypass objects that come between the target and the weapon.
[color=mediumseagreen][b]Operator Authentication Seal:[/b][/color] A complex multi-layered fuuinjutsu seal, the bearer is marked with a small barcode-like formula of encrypted information which can only be decoded or removed using the [i][Hunter's Crypolect][/i] in addition to advanced fuuinjutsu removal knowledge of equal or greater rank. The seal and its encoded information is unique to each bearer, and is connected to the bearer’s chakra network. The encoded information in the seal serves as a unique identifier and authentication token that can be scanned to unlock access doors into the HHD headquarters and any secured organisation outposts or bases, and provides the bearer with the ability to activate and safely traverse the HHD teleportation [i]Black Network[/i]. The seal additionally serves as an emergency alert beacon to the organisation, lying dormant until such a time as the bearer’s chakra network ceases to function — as occurs in death — or the seal formula itself is damaged, removed from the bearer’s body, or is interfered with by a foreign chakra source. In such an eventuality, the seal activates and sends an emergency signal through the HHD headquarters and division captains through the [i][Secure Operator Network][/i] and [i][Captain Authentication Seal][/i]s containing a directional bearing and approximate distance, alerting them to the bearer's death or that the security of the seal has been compromised. This can not only aid the Division in locating the bearer's body, but prompts them to change the encryption and authentication of their teleportation network and base access doors. Doing so invalidates all existing Authentication Seals, forcing the organisation to remove and reapply fresh seals with the new encrypted passkey information to all other bearers.
[color=mediumseagreen][b]Kirigakure Flak Jacket:[/b][/color]: A standard flak jacket worn by most Kirigakure shinobi ranked chuunin and above, this Flak jacket has [15] strength granting a minor defense to the wearer. In particular, the design of the flak jacket is meant to reduce the impact of explosions on the wearer, protecting them from suffering any internal damage to major organs in their chest and abdomen when hit by explosions with strength less than or equal to the strength of the Flak jacket. Kinsue wears his flak jacket while on missions.

The man is however looked poorly upon by the Karagata, as his achievement faltered after he was granted promotion to Chuunin as a teenager. With little drive to improve further, Kaito seems destined to remain one undistinguished ninja among the many of his rank.

He often comes off as cold to his family, and is more interested in seeing his children develop greater strength than he is in spending time with them. Despite his apparent coldness, Kosuke holds his family in incredibly high regard, and considers his treatment of them to be kind, at least compared to his treatment of most others. Outside of the family home, Kosuke is a cruel yet efficient man, and holds a high position within the families shipping industry. He primarily deals with trade between Kirigakure and Lightning Country, but occasionally overseas some trades with Earth Country.

He never told anyone the truth behind his abilities, but instead left behind memoirs of his life which were found by Kinsue.

To honour Tsubasa, Kinsue took on her aspirations as his own, and refocused his attentions on achieving power as a shinobi.[/justify]
[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Prologue]
[spoiler=Early Life]
[justify]Kinsue was born as the third son of Kosuke, an important figure within the Karagata shipping industry, and Himari, a Jounin of the village. With both of his parents being important members of the Karagata, Kinsue enjoyed an incredibly privileged lifestyle growing up as a noble of Kirigakure no Sato. At the same time, however, he was placed under a large amount of pressure to excel for the benefit of the family.
Kinsue's training in the shinobi arts began at the age of 6, two years before he was admitted into Kiri's First Academy. As a younger child of the family, he did not stand to inherit Kosuke's role in the Karagata business (a role for which his oldest brother, Katsurou, was being groomed for). Instead, Kinsue and his other brother, Kaito, were trained to be shinobi by Himari. Kinsue showed little promise in either Genjutsu or Taijutsu, but seemed to have great potential in the use of Ninjutsu. He also displayed a strong battle instinct. Himari honed in on strengthening Kinsue's potential, and the boy displayed a notable affinity in utilizing both Suiton and Fuuton by the time of his 8th birthday.[/justify]
[/spoiler]
[spoiler=The Academy]
[justify]Midway through the 9th year of his life, Kinsue was accepted into the first and most prestigious Academy of the village. During his time there he established his fighting style as being grounded in defensive and supplementary Ninjutsu. He also began his studies of Kiri's signature Mist Style. Due to his relatively shy nature, he did not forge many bonds during his time at the Academy, instead forming close relationships with a few other students. Aisu [url=https://www.narutosaigen.com/forums/viewtopic.php?&t=5940025/1/#new]Naohiro[/url], another of the students in his class, was one of these friends. Due to having a two year head-start on his training, Kinsue progressed through the Academy without much difficulty, and graduated a few weeks after his 10th birthday on his 1st attempt.
As Kinsue's time at the Academy began, his older brother Kaito finished his own studies. Eager to flaunt his superior strength, he spent a great amount of time “training” with his younger brother. This training would generally involve Kinsue being beaten down and abused by his brother, creating a relationship between the two largely dominated by anger and hatred.[/justify]
[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Years as a Genin]
[justify]Kinsue enjoyed a promising start to his career as a Genin, finding success in his first few D rank missions both on his own and with other Genin, including several missions with his classmate Naohiro. His relationship with Naohiro faltered when he was 11, however. Trouble within Naohiro's family caused him to turn away from his career as a shinobi, though Kinsue never learned of the reason that he no longer saw his friend. Since then, he began to undertake more missions by himself.
A few weeks after his 12th birthday, Kinsue was assigned a run of the mill C rank mission alongside 2 other Genin his age: Yamai, Daiki and Matsuo, Akari. The mission seemed to be an ordinary bodyguard mission for a minor noble in the Land of Water. When the three Genin let their guard down, expecting an easy mission, they were attacked by two powerful missing-nin. The noble was the first casualty of the fight, with Kinsue's comrades falling soon after. Kinsue managed to escape back to the village with word of the attack, and the missing-nin were swiftly dealt with by Kiri.
Unfortunately this failed mission, coupled with an already existing sense of self-doubt thanks to Kaito's “training”, convinced Kinsue that he wasn't fit to be a shinobi. Lacking inspiration and blaming himself for the death of his comrades, he stopped making any progress for the next 2 years, only taking the occasional D rank mission to satisfy his family. Instead of training he spent a large amount of time hiding in the lower tiers of Kiri, away from the pressures and expectations placed upon him by the upper classes of the village. Katsurou was aware of what Kinsue was going through, and tried to convince him to get back to his regular training, but the boy kept the rest of his family in the dark regarding the nature of his lack of progress.
It was when Kinsue was 14 that he turned back into the shinobi he used to be. He and his family attended Kaito's Chuunin exam; where he was matched against Toukai, Tsubasa: one of the most skilled students from Kinsue's time at the academy. Unfortunately, she was poorly matched against her older and more experienced opponent. The day ended in her demise. To Kinsue it was clear that his brother had attacked Tsubasa even as she was declaring her surrender, but the exam's proctor agreed with his defence that the event was a reasonable mistake. Kaito was granted the rank of Chuunin. Urged on by Katsurou, Kinsue took that day as a motivation. He took on Tsubasa's goals as his own, and swore to become a great shinobi in the names of her and the team he had failed to defend years ago.[/justify]
[/spoiler]
[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Chapter 1: Bonds]
[justify]Several months after his brother's Chuunin exam, Kinsue met several other Genin of interest during his duties as a shinobi. The first was his old friend [url=https://www.narutosaigen.com/forums/viewtopic.php?&t=5940025/1/]Aisu, Naohiro[/url]; whom he was partnered with during the [url=https://www.narutosaigen.com/forums/viewtopic.php?&t=5919241/1/]investigation[/url] of the accidental death of a Karagata at the hands of an Aisu. He went on to reconnect with his old friend, and soon found himself assigned to the same team as the young Aisu. Kinsue was not the first member of the relatively new [url=https://www.narutosaigen.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=90&t=8181614]Unit 12[/url], but as time went by he and Naohiro would be the only two to remain a part of the team while other Shinobi came and went. Before long the two Genin formed a close and competitive rivalry, each attempting to gain the skill needed to outdo the other when the time came for their Chuunin exam.
[url=https://www.narutosaigen.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=89&t=5940045]Kashou, Akish[/url] was another Genin that Kinsue found himself interacting with during the 15th year of his life. The boy's beliefs helped inspire Kinsue to turn the shame of his failures into a base which he could use to achieve more in the future. As a result, his determination only grew, and he began to take more difficult missions more frequently. Even when he wasn't on mission, he would be training, and before long he could see his skills improving remarkably. His determination had become so that when he had encountered [url=https://www.narutosaigen.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=89&t=5942418]Kaikyo Kohan[/url] by chance, it wasn't long before the man had agreed to spar with him in order to help train the boy's skills. Throughout the encounter Kinsue realized that those in charge were not necessarily unapproachable, invincible figures, as he had always imagined. Instead, he realized that the only difference between the two groups was experience and skill, traits that he was determined to gain. If anything, the experience only reaffirmed his aim of gaining his own level of authority within the village.
As the days went by Kinsue grew ever closer to the level of skill that he knew he would need to achieve the promotion to Chuunin that he was striving for. It was at this time that Kyuo Kai, the Kyuudaime Mizukage, attained the most esteemed of ranks within Kirigakure. The event showed Kinsue once again that leadership consisted of more than simple coldness. Seeing how Kai approached the people in the village gave Kinsue an example that he felt he could follow. He could never be someone who sent faceless men to some faceless death, he didn't believe anyone could. Someone who did all he did for the benefit of the village, who cared for the people under his rule and truly wanted what was best for them. That was what Kinsue wanted to be. It was the day of Kai's coronation when Kinsue discovered how much he truly wanted to gain influence within the village. He no longer pursued his goals in order to compensate for his prior mistakes, but instead to help his village on its way to greater heights.
Not long after the coronation of the new Kage, Kinsue found himself working less and less with other Genin, and more with Naohiro. He knew that it would not be long until he would face his Chuunin exam, and so he made a point to redouble his training. It was during one of these training sessions that an odd occurrence occurred. Kinsue found himself in possession of a unique bloodline ability, inherited from his mother's side of the family. In learning of this ability, the Dōjutsu called the Toramugan, he discovered an old Journal written by the last man to have the ability, Terumī, Kazuken. Kinsue became obsessed with the legacy that his ancestor had left him, and quickly set out to master his bloodline. It seemed the final piece in preparing for his imminent chance at promotion.
When that chance came, Kinsue and Naohiro both gave their all in a closely matched [url=https://www.narutosaigen.com/forums/viewtopic.php?&t=8058164/1/]battle[/url]. At times, Kinsue seemed to have gained the advantage with the use of his mist and his new ability. However, when the bout ended Naohiro emerged the victor and earned his promotion to Chuunin. Kinsue had failed, but for the first time his failure did not dismay him. He had come truly close to besting his long term rival, and he couldn't begrudge the Aisu such a well-earned victory. Instead, he continued his training. When the time came for his second opportunity for promotion; he [url=https://www.narutosaigen.com/forums/viewtopic.php?&t=8182128/1/]defeated[/url] his opponent with ease. At long last, Kinsue was promoted to Chuunin at the age of 15.[/justify]
[/spoiler]
[Spoiler=Chapter 2: Growth]
[justify]Kinsue took the next few years as an opportunity to train and improve his standing within the village. He found himself placed under increased scrutiny from within his family; as his younger cousin [url=https://www.narutosaigen.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=84&t=6144753]Shinjiro[/url], the son of Kosuke's brother Izune, was granted the honour of becoming host to the Katagenma: Vorashu. At the same time it became increasingly clear that Kaito might never rise above the mediocrity of his position as a Chuunin, and so the hopes of his parents began to fall more squarely on him and his potential as a shinobi.
Kinsue met this increased scrutiny with a determination to match. He took more difficult missions at an increased rate and saw them through to success; slowly improving his skills to the point where he could be selected for a promotion to Special Jounin. Despite the dissolution of Unit 12 once neither he nor Naohiro were Genin the two of them continued to work together frequently. Over time, the two of them continued to use each other to reach new heights of power.
When Kinsue was 19 years old; he and Naohiro were assigned to a mission that looked much like a test of their worth. The Daimyo of Water Country had finally reached out to Kirigakure for assistance in the matter of a powerful and thoroughly corrupt national official: Onho, Yukimura. With enough wealth to field a veritable army of skilled guards, the target seemed defended enough that the mission would have certainly been better assigned to an experienced assassination squad. The pair instead saw that a success was exactly what they needed to earn a long coveted promotion.
Finding passage to the official's residence on the ship of a man named Kaeda, the team snuck past Yukimura's security with ease. What they hasn't realized until it was too late was that Kaeda himself was one among many on the official's payroll. Kinsue and Naohiro were ambushed in Yukimura's chambers by a truly overwhelming number of enemy combatants. The pair were captured and placed in captivity while their fate was to be decided.
Their captors knew that the two of them were shinobi, and thus held significant value as bargaining tools should the need arise. However, despite being forced to weather torture for several days neither of them revealed their true value; that they were members of prestigious families and that one of them even possessed a priceless bloodline ability. Had Yukimura known the true value of his hostages, he might have found a deal with a pay-out greater than anything he could have imagined.
Instead, he elected to use the two shinobi in a show of force. After gathering his allies he made an event of the two shinobi; forcing them to battle beasts, slaves, and eventually each other to the death for his own twisted amusement. Kinsue struck down his closest friend, and after the day was done seemed to have been broken entirely. To prevent his captors from taking his life he told them of his family and of his value as a hostage.
Kinsue endured several more days of torture while Yukimura attempt to seek the highest bidder for a Karagata nobleman. Among the many scars inflicted, his torturers branded him with the very symbol he would wear so proudly on a regular day. A mark of shame, they called it, commemorating how he had failed to stay strong through his captivity.
In the end, all Yukimura achieved was to dreadfully underestimate the shinobi. Kinsue and Naohiro had faked the latter’s death through the use of his Hyouton Jutsu, and Kinsue had given them the truth about his family only as a ploy to buy the team enough time to regain their strength. When Kinsue's guards got complacent, thinking he was no longer a threat to them, he killed them easily in his escape. On the 15th day after he and Naohiro were ambushed, the two regrouped and successfully assassinated Onho, Yukimura.
On their return to the village, both Kinsue and Naohiro were awarded the rank of Special Jounin.
Over the ensuing weeks Kinsue's wounds were treaded such that scars did not even form. However, he requested that the brand of the Karagata remain. It would go on to serve as a reminder of what had come close to his darkest moment, and how he had overcome it with his will just as much as he had with his strength. Now, he continues to elevate his strength even further as he reaches for yet another promotion.[/justify]
[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Interlude]
[justify]While Kinsue had been earning his promotion to special Jounin, tensions had been rapidly rising within Kirigakure. The Mizukage, Kyuo Kai, had ordered the [url=https://www.narutosaigen.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=58&t=8057573]assassination[/url] of the village council. The five family heads, unable to stomach the threat to their power posed by the new Mizukage, reached out to the powerful Bannin [url=https://www.narutosaigen.com/forums/viewtopic.php?&t=8259811/1/]Yami Kasai[/url] with the task of usurping Kai. Soon after, Kasai proved greater than Kai, and Kiri found itself under the rule of an 11th Mizukage.
Kasai soon organized and led a failed invasion of Soul Country, one in which Kinsue dutifully played a [url=https://www.narutosaigen.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=212&t=8342163]minor[/url] [url=https://www.narutosaigen.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=218&p=4178333#p4178333]role[/url]. The turn of events proved a blow to the young shinobi. Kasai was a mighty shinobi, an unmatched weapon, but Kinsue found much to fault with his directives as leader. The invasion of Soul Country was poorly planned, with no heed paid to the opposition that would be faced. In the absence of being given a target Kasai had simply created one to strike at, and all it had done was weaken the position of the village.
At the same time, Kinsue’s father Kosuke developed a grave illness. Katsurou was granted full control over Kosuke’s former business affairs, and began working day and night to ensure the family’s power wouldn't fail due to the transition.
Kinsue knew that his brother was struggling without their father’s guiding hand, and at the same time was beginning to realize that he could no longer serve with the zeal he once had as a shinobi. Kinsue still believed in the code once drilled into him as a boy; that a shinobi must be willing to act without compromise as an extension of the Mizukage’s will.
There seemed to be only one honorable course of action left. So it was that Kinsue offered his resignation to the village council, and offered to work as an aide to Katsurou in civilian service. From then on, Kinsue’s contribution to the village would no longer be by force of arms, but instead through helping to uphold the dealings that underpinned the Karagata family’s power within the village.
For the next 6 years, and through the Great War, Kinsue worked alongside his brother. He found he had a mind for the business of the Karagata. An eye for deception was one already encouraged in a shinobi, and he found himself suited to the detailed and complex work of allowing trade to flow. Yet, even to this day the work paled in comparison to the highs he had lived through as a shinobi. At his core, Kinsue hopes still that something may bring him new hope for the village and its purpose; and allow him to serve again as he once did.

After forming the correct hand seals, Kinsue will cup his hands around his mouth, as if he were about to scream. The Jutsu will then affect his voice, amplifying it so that it can be heard from up to 75 meters away. This Jutsu is also formed in such a manner that it will pass through any mist that contains Kinsue's own chakra as if it were not there, allowing him to be heard inside his mist as well.

[i]Prerequisites: [b][color=#80A0FF]Ninjutsu • Booming Voice[/color][/b]; Must be within mist; 10 control.[/i]
After using the Booming voice technique, Kinsue will add another seal before cupping his hands around his mouth. This seal will change the way that his mist allows the sound through it as, instead of simply parting to allow sound through, it will instead partially reflect the sound and then add the strength lost to it so that it is not dampened. This results in Kinsue's voice being reflected across the entirely of his mist, rendering those who hear his voice hear it as if it is echoing from all directions. This effectively prevents opponents from tracking Kinsue down through the sound of his voice.

The first is that he is able to switch between the part of the infrared spectrum that allows him night vision, and the part that allows him thermal vision at will. As well as this, Kinsue is now able to see up to 80 meters away at night while being only slightly impaired by bright light, if using the night vision, or see through 10 times the amount of particulate that he would otherwise be able to see through.

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.

*[color=lightgreen][b]Fuuton • Wind Skating[/b][/color]
[i]D-Ranked Ninjutsu[/i]
After performing the needed hand seals, the user is able to glide on air as if they were skating on ice. This allows them to move faster (+3 speed) but lowers their ability to translate force (-3 Strength). This doesn't allow them to fly, but rather to travel over things like land, water, and ice with greater ease. The user is only held several inches off of the ground. This Jutsu does not expire until the user’s chakra supply runs out or the user shuts it off. The Fuuton passive is not applied in this technique.

[i]C-Ranked Fuuton Jutsu[/i]
After forming the necessary hand seals, the user will thrust their hands forward as a vortex of wind blasts through with [Control] Speed. The vortex's direction can be controlled. The control, however, is limited; it can only be moved in a 45 degree angle, up to three times. A hit from this vortex packs a large push back force, though the person can avoid being pushed back with more than [Control] Strength. Control of this Jutsu fades after two posts and spans an area 3m wide and up to 25m in length. Direct hits result in long but shallow cuts on the victim's body, covering the whole radius of the techniques point of contact, no deeper than half an inch.

Once the target is inside, the user must hold the last seal and cannot use any other techniques, capable of holding this for up to five posts. In order to escape, the target must have at least [Control] strength to physically make their way out, or the user must be disrupted. Most shinobi would pass out after two posts due to a lack of oxygen. However, if a target possesses an Endurance stat higher than 10, it would require three posts for them to pass out.

[i]B-Rank Suiton Ninjutsu[/i]
After performing the required hand seals, the user dumps a large quantity of Suiton chakra into the ground beneath their feet. Moments later, water will surge upwards out of the ground to form a large, circular lake centred around the user. The lake is only 5cm deep, but stretches out with a radius of 20m in all directions. The water features a smooth, reflective surface that behaves like a flawless mirror, and the presence of the user's chakra within the water counteracts any disturbances to the surface; splashes and waves do not disturb the mirror-like effect, instead only temporarily distorting it until the water settles again, which it does so with an unnatural speed at thrice as fast as regular water.

Kinsue has trained and perfected his Ukemi. This means he can naturally (like second nature) perform and seamlessly move into a roll, forwards, backwards or sideways from any position. This has many practical uses but is mainly used as a response to being thrown, knocked over, or falling, as Kinsue can use a roll to distribute his weight and minimize the impact damage.
[color=darkturquoise][b]Mist's Shield • Ready[/b][/color]
[i]D-Rank Taijutsu Stance[/i]
When assuming this stance Kinsue focuses his energy into the balls of his feet as he takes a light-footed position. This focus allows him to move more quickly and with less of an acceleration time (+3 Speed), but to offset this he is unable to strike with as much force as normal (-3 Strength).
[color=darkturquoise][b]Mist's Shield • Low Sweep[/b][/color]
[i]D-Rank Taijutsu Manoeuvre[/i]
This attack sees Kinsue aim a low horizontal kick at the back of the target's knee. The attack is not intended to cause damage so much as it is intended to cause the foe to lose his balance and fall over, setting Kinsue up for further attacks.
[color=darkturquoise][b]Mist's Shield • Somersaults[/b][/color]
[i]D-Rank Taijutsu Discipline[/i]
Kinsue has trained himself to be able to perform somersaults backwards, forwards and sideways without compromising on speed as a means of dodging the attacks of his enemies and enjoying greater mobility in battle.
[color=darkturquoise][b]Mist's Shield • Fake out[/b][/color]
[i]D-rank Taijutsu Manoeuvre[/i]
This manoeuvre sees Kinsue kick at his opponent slowly, aiming at their midsection so that the opponent will try and catch his leg. When his leg is caught, the user will then either then swing their body around to smash their free leg into the targets head or they will swing in the opposite direction and hit the target in the knees/legs.
[color=darkturquoise][b]Skyfall[/b][/color]
[i]D-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver[/i]
Skyfall is a technique that can be added to any flipping technique. Utilizing agility and speed, the user will extend one leg to deliver a kick while flipping, built with power from the flip. The direction and effectiveness of the flip depend on other techniques and ingenuity.
[color=darkturquoise][b]Afterthought[/b][/color]
[i]D-Rank Taijutsu Manoeuvre[/i]
Due to the fast-paced nature of this style, there are times when an opponent's movements change the required path for an attack. Any time a kick does not hit its intended target; the user is able to launch a second kick very quickly, and without retracting the leg entirely. This results in less time for the target to dodge or block, but makes it impossible to strike with full strength, resulting in -3 strength to the follow up kick. This can be repeated, but will likely become predictable after one or two.
[color=darkturquoise][b]Jumping Round House[/b][/color]
[i]D-Ranked Taijutsu Maneuver[/i]
The user will first raise one leg, as if to strike with a round house kick, but at the last moment, he will jump and kick with the other leg, likely catching the opponent off guard, while also kicking with a great deal of power.

[color=darkturquoise][b]Drop-Kick[/b][/color]
[i]C-Rank Taijutsu Manoeuvre[/i]
One of the few offensive techniques in his repertoire, this technique is used to catch the opponent off guard and force them off balance. Starting with a step or two to build momentum, the user will charge at the opponent and leap forcefully into the air, bringing his legs up together to kick the target with the full force of momentum, body weight, and added force from the kick. This will send the user falling toward the ground, but in a controlled and predictable manner so he can recover with a roll or kip up.
[color=darkturquoise][b]Ripcord[/b][/color]
[i]C-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver[/i]
This technique is often used when a kick is narrowly dodged. The user will bring his second leg up parallel to the first, with the opponent's body part in the middle. He will then wrench his body with all of his might to kick with both legs in a scissor formation. It can catch a target off guard and knock them off balance, or even floor them.
[color=darkturquoise][b]High Rise[/b][/color]
[i]C-Ranked Taijutsu Maneuver[/i]
Though he is more accustomed to fighting opponents individually or in small numbers, the user is also able to face many at once. Due to his preference toward having sufficient space to move, any time that he is fighting in a crowd, or if he is surrounded, he will seek to get out of the center as quickly as possible, preventing most of his enemies from converging on him at once. To accomplish this, he will leap into the air, aiming to land a foot on the shoulder of one of his opponents or a bystander. He will then leap from shoulder to shoulder, maintaining balance and momentum so that he is only touching each person for a moment. This allows him to escape from a crowd quickly, and can be combined with other techniques to add aggression to his escape.

[b][Hunter’s Cryptolect][/b]
[i]D-Rank Taijutsu Discipline[/i]
A Head Hunter can convey a hundred meanings without ever opening their mouth. This discipline represents the user’s mastery of the Hunter’s Cryptolect, a secretive and complicated means of communication taught exclusively to members of Kirigakure’s Head Hunter Division. More than just a spoken or written language, the Cryptolect incorporates vocal, somatic, tonal and metered elements which can be used individually or together to convey detailed private messages. This grants practitioners the ability to communicate silently such as through hand signs and body language, cryptically through a scrambled written or spoken cipher, or even by hiding meanings and messages in plain sight by concealing elements of the Cryptolect into seemingly plain, everyday sentences, for example by using tones, accents, or hidden patterns in the meter of a phrase. This communication is innately cryptic and unintuitive, often interspersed with rogue elements to throw off a potential eavesdropper, making it nigh impossible to be realised—let alone properly interpreted—by anyone not trained in its particular use at the Head Hunter Division headquarters.

The [i][color=antiquewhite]Silent Hunter[/color][/i] style originated as a series of silent fighting techniques developed by Commander Karagata Shiv of Kirigakure's Head Hunter Division, further applied by Overseer Kaikyo Kohon of the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist, and finally revised and reimagined by Aisu Naohiro to become an expansive doctrine of techniques essential to any eager Head Hunter to aid in infiltration, tracking, and assassination.

Any time the user is moving, they have trained themselves to be attuned to the sound of people moving. This passive technique allows the user to accurately pinpoint targets within 30 metres of their location, and can differentiate the sounds of multiple people to separate targets and determine how many people are in a given area even if they can’t see them.
[color=antiquewhite][b][Featherstep][/b][/color]
[i]C-Rank Taijutsu Stance[/i]
The user has learned to move in a particular way to lighten the tread of their feet and with carefully placed steps. This allows the user to move without leaving any visible trail to all but the most experienced of trackers, eliminating obvious environmental disturbances and signs such as footprints, scuffs, displaced dirt, and so on. The lightfooted nature of this stance imparts a +6 to Speed at the cost of -6 to Strength as the user primes their muscles for swift and gentle movement rather than power.
[color=antiquewhite][b][Projectile Whistles][/b][/color]
[i]C-Rank Taijutsu Discipline[/i]

[i]B-Rank Taijutsu Discipline[/i]
The user has learned to attune their hearing to target desired, specific sources of sound, and effectively block out all other distractions. This allows them to focus on individual targets or sounds, for example being able to pick out one conversation within a busy room, or identify one set of footsteps from among many. When focusing on a particular sound, the user can effortlessly interpret its characteristics to learn details about the source. For example, analysing the sound of footsteps can reveal the weight, size, or speed of a target, while hearing the rustle of movement could reveal the presence of armour, weapons, or other worn materials, and hearing the sound of weapons or projectiles can inform the user about the type, size, speed or strength of the weapons in use.
[color=antiquewhite][b][Argus][/b][/color]
[i]B-Rank Taijutsu Discipline[/i]
The user has trained their vision to accurately pick up on and interpret details even through darkness or dense visual obstructions. This technique allows the user to see clearly through shadows, darkness, or semi-transparent media such as water, ice, smoke, mist, dust, heat shimmers, and other airbourne particulate or visual disturbances out to a distance of 60 metres.
[color=antiquewhite][b][Target Speed][/b][/color]
[i]B-Rank Taijutsu Manoeuvre[/i]
The user strikes with pinpoint accuracy at the correct pressure points or muscle groups on an opponent's body that can effectively debilitate their speed. When struck, the opponent suffers a shock throughout their body and a sudden loss of mobility, manifesting as a -6 to Speed for the next five posts. This technique can be applied using a thrown weapon, however doing so from range lowers the potency of the strike and only imparts a -3 penalty to Speed instead.

The user has attuned their hearing to the sound of heartbeats. This allows them to accurately locate and track anything with a heartbeat within 50 metres of their person, and filter the sound of heartbeats out from other surrounding noises and distractions regardless of environment.
[color=antiquewhite][b][Precision Aim][/b][/color]
[i]A-Rank Taijutsu Discipline[/i]
The user has studied anatomy to the extent that they can passively apply that knowledge to their strikes and aim in the heat of combat. This allows the user to identify and exploit opportunities for pinpoint attacks to cause severe internal damage to a target, such as breaking bones, rupturing organs, slicing muscles and tendons, and so forth. This technique aids the user in spotting weak points in the armour or guard of a target and deliving precision attacks in those areas to bypass physical defences and strike the body beneath.
[color=antiquewhite][b][Ghoststep][/b][/color]
[i]A-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Prerequisite: [Featherstep] or *[color=lightgreen][b]Fuuton • Wind Skating[/b][/color][/i]
The user has learned to move with exceptional care and finesse, lightening the tread of their feet and stepping with extreme care or by marginally levitating their feet with a subconscious application of [i]fuuton[/i] chakra. This allows the user to move without detriment while eliminating all traces of their passing, leaving no physical sign. Additionally, the user can move as normal without triggering physical traps such as pressure plates or tripwires. If moving via [i]fuuton[/i], the swirling chakra additionally scours away any scent left behind by the user. If moving via careful physical steps, the user leaves no residue of chakra use. The lightfooted nature of this stance can impart a boost to speed of up to +12, at the cost of a corresponding debuff to Strength as the user primes their muscles for swift and gentle movement rather than power.
[color=antiquewhite][b][Instant Strike][/b][/color]
[i]A-Rank Nintaijutsu Manoeuvre[/i]
The user prepares an attack or action before priming their muscles and surging forward in an instantaneous, chakra-assisted movement towards or away from a target within 50 metres, which consumes one of the user's two available teleport movements per thread. This allows the user to jump forward and deliver a lightning-fast series of strikes to a target without any perceivable precursor motion, or to attack a target already in range and then instaneously move away to a safe location by identifying an object within range that is at least 1/5th the user's size while preparing the technique. An object used in this manner must be solid and must not already be imbued with foreign chakra. The user can perform up to [Base Speed/10] strikes as part of this technique, performed at up to +12 Speed, but the focus on rapid motion leaves the user unprepared to guard and thus a corresponding Endurance debuff for the duration of the strike.
[color=antiquewhite][b][Coverage][/b][/color]
[i]A-Rank Taijutsu Discipline[/i]
The user has learned how to make the most effective use of their environment to avoid being seen and detected. This allows the user to effectively conceal themselves and blend into an environment with minimal effort, increasing their effectiveness at hiding in mist, water, ice, foliage, behind terrain, and so forth.

Keen eyes and a wealth of tracking experience allows the user to easily identify and track all manner of targets over extreme distances, regardless of terrain type or method of travel. The practitioner can subconsciouly pick up on signs such as disturbed foliage, footprints, and environmental disturbances, and can accurately determine their age, source, and direction of travel by their condition. The user can accurately pick out individuals from many different traces and determine the number of companions or accomplaces with the target.
[color=antiquewhite][b][Quiescence][/b][/color]
[i]S-Rank Taijutsu Discipline[/i]
The user has learned to move in total silence, and does not produce any sound when moving through any means. They cannot be heard unless a person listening for them has a specialized hearing technique of equal or higher rank.
[color=antiquewhite][b][Reaper][/b][/color]
[i]S-Rank Taijutsu Discipline[/i]
The user has trained themselves to become perfectly attuned to all manner of sounds in a wide vicinity of their person, and can focus their hearing to up to 150 metres to identify and track targets. This passive technique allows the practitioner to accurately identify and differentiate people, animals, and all sources of noise within 50 metres of their person, even in the face of loud complicated distractions, noise, or interference. Over 50 metres, the accuracy of the technique suffers slightly and hearing at such an extent requires fewer distractions. Over 100 metres, the user requires silence in their immediate vicinity and can only gauge an approximate direction, distance, and quantity of noise sources, but can still identify the type of creature. The maximum range of this technique is 150 metres. Additionally, the user has learned to interpret vibrations through the ground as a rudimentary tremorsense, and is able to accurately track sources of movement through vibrations within 50 metres of their location.
[color=antiquewhite][b][Chemosensory][/b][/color]
[i]S-Rank Taijutsu Discipline[/i]
The user has achieved exceptional proficiency in identifying and interpreting different tastes and scents, and can recall previously encountered tastes and scents with remarkable accuracy from a mental catalogue of sources. This allows the user to detect trace amounts of scent even from minute sources, such as from a blade of grass that touched the leg of a fleeing target, from old footprints, or traces of scent on the wind over great distances. Additionally, the user's knowledge of scents and tastes allows them to accurately determine the origin and age of a source, and with multiple sources can effectively determine a direction and speed of travel.
[color=antiquewhite][b][Blurred Movement][/b][/color]
[i]S-Rank Taijutsu Discipline[/i]
Having undertaken intensive training sessions to drill the body into extreme high speed movement, the user has mastered a method of moving and fighting which makes their motions highly confusing to an opponent. This causes the user's movements and attacks to become extremely blurred and impossible to see or follow for anyone without a visual perception technique of equal or higher rank. Even those with such a technique will find it harder to determine the user's attack patterns or where they are aiming to strike.

[spoiler=Kettou]
[justify]As much of the training in the academy focuses on having students fight each other to get experience, the academy teaches a basic dueling style to virtually all of it’s students. The style is focused on one on one engagements, and is meant to provide the combatant with key skills to manage one-on-one fights and keep themselves with the upper-hand. The style focuses primarily on controlling the space between two combatants, disarming opponents, and nullifying common types of attacks in order to maximize generating openings and how long the user can fight against their opponent. Kettou is intentionally designed to be able to be done empty handed, holding kunai, swords, or two-handed weapons, allowing it to be used in most situations regardless of the users standard fighting style.

[i]C-rank Taijutsu Stance[/i]
A key technique for dueling, the user must have Speed equal to or greater than their opponent to properly utilize, but can use it to some success as low as -5 Speed from their opponent. The user will situate themselves 5m away from the opponent, and then will always match the speed of their opponent to conduct the opposite movement. If the opponent moves forward, the user will move backward, if they rotate to the left, the user will rotate to the right. This means the pair will always be exactly distant from each other, creating ample opportunity to respond to any attacks.

During a duel, feints allow the duelist to confuse their opponent, predict counters, and protect themselves. This discipline allows the user to turn virtually any attack into a feint. As long as the strike has not made contact, the user can pull it back. Opponents with less speed, or inadequate perception are left unable to distinguish between feints and genuine attacks.

While a somewhat basic dueling stance, this stance provides enormous value to Kettou practitioners. As Kettou is designed to supplement any type of fighter, this stance acts as a seamless intermediary between stances in other disciplines. Masters of this technique can seamlessly switch between stances and maneuvers of various taijutsu styles, without having to take normal prerequisite steps, positions, or preparations. This allows Kettou practitioners to integrate Kettou into virtually any fighting style without suffering any deficits.
