Adding Katon, Ash an Sankaton concentrations
*Katon • Heated Blade
D-Rank Ninjutsu
By channeling katon chakra into a metal weapon or blade, the user will cause it to grow hotter and cover the blade in flames. The imbued weapon will be able to carve through defenses of [Control] or less strength with ease.
*Ash Style • Scattered Coal Dust
D-Rank Ninjutsu
After performing hand seals, the user will expel Ash from their mouth to make a cloud of about 3 meters by 3 meters at a Speed of [Control] and with a Strength of [Control]. This cloud will hang in the air for 3 posts before dissipating. If anyone walks through the cloud, the Ash will cling to them with [Control] Strength.
*Ash Style • Skin of Embers
D-Rank Ninjutsu
After performing hand seals, the user will blow a covering of ash onto their hand at a Speed equal to [Control]. Over the course of the next 3 posts, the user will attempt to make contact with their opponent, transferring the Ash on their hand to the person. The Ash has a Strength of [Control] and can be removed by an opponent with equal or higher Strength.
*Ash Style • Embers of Subterfuge
C-Rank Ninjutsu
After performing hand seals, the user will form a semi-condensed kunai made of Ash. This is designed to be hidden under a normal kunai while thrown. While the kunai will move at normal Speed, the Ash kunai can shoot out from under the kunai at a Speed and Strength equal to [Control]. The Ash from this kunai will cling to anything it touches.
*[Fist]
D-Ranked Sankaton Ninjutsu
The user will do a series of hand seals, causing Sankaton to form around one of their hands. The next time their hand comes in contact with something, the Sankaton to flush forward to it, causing burns on contact, and eroding with [Control] Strength. This jutsu can be risky as it's possible for the user to accidentally touch themselves with the Sankaton.
*[Corroding Hearts]
D-Ranked Sankaton Ninjutsu
After doing the needed hand seals, the ninja covers a small projectile in Sankaton chakra. Whenever the projectile hits a target, the sankaton will strike first at [Control] Strength, eroding the material it strikes.
*[Ninjutsu • Advanced Shadow Clone Technique]
S-Ranked Ninjutsu
Prerequisite: *[Ninjutsu • Shadow Clone Technique]
After performing the correct hand seals the user proceeds to create a number of clones of themselves (maximum is equal to 1/3rd the user's Chakra Pool). Unlike the Clone Technique, these clones are actual copies of the user in both appearance and substance. The user's chakra is evenly distributed among every clone, giving each clone an equal fraction of the user's overall power. The clones are capable of performing jutsu on their own, 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 advantage of this form of the technique is that once dispersed, the chakra distributed to the clones returns to the user, allowing any un-used chakra to be regained, slowing the draining usage of this technique. The chakra returns to the user at a different rate depending on the user's control.
• 1-15 Control: 1/5
• 16-25: 2/5
• 26-35: 3/5
• 36+: 4/5
~Byakugan: Telescopic Vision
A Rank Ninjutsu
By channeling a small amount of chakra to the Hyuuga's Byakugan, the clan member uses their doujutsu to zoom in like a telescope, allowing them to see much farther away. In doing so, the Hyuuga member is able to see up to 2 Kilometers away as though they were mere feet away. It should be noted that while using their telescopic vision the Hyuuga experiences tunnel vision, making it difficult to see their surroundings. This jutsu can be maintained as long as the Hyuuga channels chakra to their eyes.
~Jyuuken :: One Body Blow
A-rank Nintaijutsu Maneuver
After channelling chakra through all of their tenketsu, the user will release it in a mighty surge with [Control] strength and speed, travelling up to 65 meters. The chakra will assault the chakra system of any hit, reducing their Control by -9 points. After 3 posts the disruption will dissipate however, as specific tenketsu were not struck.
Hunters Path
B-Ranked Taijutsu Discipline
Takeshi has spent many years learning how to track animals and man alike in a variety of environments. He can easily pick up on most trails, observing and analyzing footprints, scuff marks, broken branches and the like. He can determine the quantity, species, weight and other factors such as if the target is limping, running or moving stealthily. Unless heavily marred by environmental factors Takeshi can follow the physical sign of a trail even if it is several days or weeks old. In some rare instances where tracks have been preserved remarkably well this timeline can even extend to months.
Keen Ears
A-Ranked Taijutsu Discipline
Takeshi’s sharp senses allow him to pick up on slight sounds within a 75-meter radius of himself. This can range from the sound of a weapon being drawn, a projectile in flight or subtle footsteps and sounds of breathing. In terms of eavesdropping, he can discern a conversation at such a range as if he were standing next to the person who is speaking.
Fangless Hound's Legacy
S-Ranked Taijutsu Discipline
Growing up surrounded by Inuzuka Takeshi has developed a nose keen enough to rival their own. He can pick up on faint scents that average shinobi wouldn’t even notice to the point where he can distinguish the individual body scents of people, able to determine various emotional states including detecting aggression, deception, fear as well as determine specific species of animals or gender even by just a strand of hair. The passive range of this ability is 100 meters though if he has picked up on a trail, he can continue to follow it to its source assuming there are still scent particles in the air or physical remnants of a trail.
Stalking Shadow
S-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Taking the art of hunting to the realm of combat Takeshi is able to stalk his target with professional skill, moving up to his full speed while shadowing their movements and moving with the utmost silence. So long as his targets doesn’t have a perception technique of equal or greater rank he is able to approach them undetected by traditional means. Often this means his target isn’t even aware of his presence until his knife is already pressed against their throats.

[color=#8000FF][b]Physical Features:[/b][/color] Takeshi is an athletic young man with a well defined physique. His hair is long and silky, a deep brown that often appears black in color and typically tied into a ponytail while still allowing his long bangs to frame the side of his face down to his chest. His skin is fairly pale, his hands and face at first glance quite delicate and soft though in fact there are a number of hidden callouses and frequently small scrapes here and there across his body. His most notable feature of course are his eyes; pupilless, they are entirely white with only a slight lavender hue. Also of note is the green curse mark pattern across his forehead, a seal marking him as a member of a branch family of the Hyuuga.
[color=#8000FF][b]Clothing/Accessories:[/b][/color] Often Takeshi will favor loose and flowing traditional clothes favored by his clan. Most commonly he will wear greys, whites and blacks be it full Kimono attire or in slightly more casual settings a Haori and Hakama. That isn’t to say that he always dresses formally however, when he is home around his immediate family he tends to fully relax and simply wear loose-fitting pants and simple shirts and on very rare occasions may be seen dressed as such elsewhere.

[color=#8000FF][b]Personality:[/b][/color] Takeshi is a noble young man, he believes in respecting justice and law but strives to make changes from within. He doesn’t turn a blind eye to wrongdoing and will readily help those in need or stand up for those perceived as weak and unable to defend themselves. Bullying and discrimination are some of the fastest ways to earn his ire and he is not above using violence for good reasons though he will always attempt to talk a situation down when it is viable. In combat however, he knows when to act decisively and will fight with everything he has and not easily give up.
Perhaps the most important thing to Takeshi is family, most notably his twin sister Kaori, and despite his noble views, he is willing to do anything he needs to do in order to protect her or others that get similarly close to him. Though he is not easily visibly angered the young man has strong convictions and is therefore incredibly stubborn once he sets his mind to something. Easily adaptable, Takeshi excels both in working with others and acting alone though his protective nature sometimes causes him to put himself in harm's way unnecessarily. Takeshi is incredibly patriotic and holds a strong resentment towards Kirigakure shinobi and to a lesser extent Iwagakure shinobi and has significantly less patience and understanding in the company of such people or those who would act sympathetically toward any perceived enemy of the leaf village.
Recently Takeshi has been struggling with feelings of isolation and growing resentment. Since coming into the possession of the legendary sword; Anger he feels disconnected from many of his peers. He despises those that pretend like the war never happened and more so those who would easily forgive their enemies. But even within their own leadership, he finds it difficult to support his own father or elder brother, knowing they each led to the vulnerability of Konoha by collaborating with the former Daimyo and contributing toward the conquest of distant and foreign lands. Nonetheless, Takeshi does his best to bury these feelings and focus on his own strength and what he is able to contribute to the strength and security of Konoha.

“Harness It”
Anger is a rather simple-looking sword approximately 3 feet in length, with a single-bladed edge, and a hilt that appears to vary in size to fit the user’s hand perfectly. Unlike the other Great Evils, Anger in this form cannot be controlled, though has a strength equal to the weapon stat. However, by running their free hand along the blade, the blade will split into 1,000 tiny blades that fill a 2x2x2m area. The blades can be controlled like a swarm, and the user is granted an 'Anger' weapon stat which functions as the “swarm's” synch stat.

“Ignorance is Bliss”
A ring worn by the user, Ignorance is considered to the greatest of the Evils. Once per post, by focusing chakra into Ignorance, the user can simply hold their hand up. Any non-living (i.e. excluding humans, spirits, and pets) entity within direct alignment of their hand, up to 10 m away from it, will lose momentum. The amount of speed lost is equal to the 'Ignorance' weapon stat.

[table=2, Abilities][b] [quote=Byakugan][i][color=AntiqueWhite]Byakugan Doujutsu[/color][/i]
One of the most famed doujutsu in the world, [b][color=antiquewhite]Byakugan[/color][/b] is the bloodline limit of the Hyuuga Clan. When active, the clan member gains 360 degree vision and Penetrative vision, allowing the Hyuuga clan to see the Tenketsu of their enemies. Their telescopic vision can be activated via jutsu. As such, the Byakugan is capable of ability channeling, allowing the Hyuuga to activate their Doujutsu techniques without hand seals. It should be noted that while using their telescopic vision the Hyuuga experiences tunnel vision, making it difficult to see their surroundings.
Prolonged usage of the Byakugan is strenuous and requires a high level of endurance. The maximum operating time a user can utilize their Byakugan at a time is equal to their Chakra Pool stat divided by 4 rounded down, to a minimum of one post. Upon reaching the max duration, the stress of using their Byakugan to it’s limit causes a cooldown period of 1/2 of the duration time, to a minimum of one post. During this cooldown period, the Byakugan cannot be activated and attempting to do so will cause physical pain. Duration is based off total posts where the Byakugan is activated, meaning users can turn it on and off to have a shorter cooldown.[/quote] [/b][c]

[table=2, Concentrations][b]Ninjutsu[/b][c][quote=Ninjutsu: Advanced Channeling]
This user has superb chakra control, and has learned to perform jutsu by channeling, without the use of hand seals. The user can channel any Ninjutsu that is designed to be channeled, and there are no specified parameters in which a jutsu must fall to be channeled by this method.[/quote]
[quote=Fuuton Affinity][color=lightgreen][b]Fuuton Affinity[/b][/color]
A character with this concentration is able to utilize Fuuton, and can make and use any custom or archived jutsu that require the Fuuton affinity. Fuuton has an [b]cutting[/b] effect.
[spoiler=Passive (Cutting)]Fuuton has a natural [b]cutting[/b] property to it, that exists in all jutsu unless otherwise stated. This gives fuuton a unique opportunity to strike with additional power, and to act as a offensive defense. Regardless of their purpose fuuton jutsu passively cut with no distinct pattern at 1/2 the strength of the technique rounded down unless otherwise stated. This means if someone punched a 20 strength fuuton wall, they would get cuts on their hand applied with 10 strength. This also means that fuuton jutsu specifically designated to cut things can create devastating wound by essentially striking twice.[/spoiler][/quote]
[quote=Katon][color=orangered][b]Katon Affinity[/b][/color]
A character with this concentration is able to utilize Katon, and can make and use any custom or archived jutsu that require the Katon affinity. Katon has a passive [color=orangered][i]ignition[/i][/color] effect.
[spoiler=Passive (Ignition)]Katon's effect is [b]ignition[/b], which means that all katon jutsu, regardless of effect, start and spread fire from their source. Once a jutsu has been performed, the fire from the jutsu spreads at 1/3rd the speed of the technique, rounded down. That means a C-rank katon jutsu that moves at 13 speed would create subsequent fires that spread at 4 speed. These secondary fires require flammable material to continuously spread, otherwise they will burn out on their own. Additionally, Katon jutsu have a [b]Burning[/b] effect, and burn anyone they come in contact with with [Control] strength.[/spoiler][/quote]
[quote=Ash Style][color=coral][b]Ash Style[/b][/color]
A character with this concentration is able to utilize Ash, an extension composed of Fuuton and Katon, and can make and use any custom or archived jutsu that require Ash. Ash has an [b]clinging[/b] effect, which clings with 1/2 Strength. You must be a former or present Konoha shinobi to utilize this concentration.
[spoiler=Passive (Clinging)]Ash Style techniques have a [b]clinging[/b] effect. Ash naturally latches onto anything it comes into contact with, which allows it to cause burns over a long period of time, limiting the target's ability to fight and weakening them substantially. Additionally, Ash jutsu have a [b]Burning[/b] effect, and burn anyone they come in contact with with [Control] strength.[/spoiler][/quote]
[quote=Sankaton Affinity][color=brown][b]Sankaton Affinity[/b][/color]
A character with this concentration is able to utilize Sankaton, and advanced form of Katon, and can make and use any custom or archived jutsu that require the Sankaton affinity. Sankaton has an [b]eroding[/b] effect.
[spoiler=Passive (Erosion)]Sankaton is an incorporeal element that comes in the form of a fine red haze, that exudes warmth, and has the ability to [b]erode[/b]. Anything physical that comes in contact with Sankaton is eaten by the energy, which consumes the Sankaton. This gives Sankaton incredibly powerful offensive and defensive capabilities. Sankaton jutsu are notoriously draining, and are known to push the user to the absolute limit. Sankaton jutsu are limited in size by their control prerequisite, which can make them difficult to use effectively. Sankaton is unaffected by energy based elements, and the two simply pass through them. This makes Sankaton's strength, and its weakness non-matter based elements.[/spoiler][/quote][c]

[spoiler=Fuuton] *[color=lightgreen][b]Fuuton • Wind Skating[/b][/color]
D-Ranked Fuuton Jutsu
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.
*[color=lightgreen][b]Fuuton • Redirection[/b][/color]
D-Ranked Fuuton Jutsu
After performing the needed hand seals, the user covers a projectile they are holding in fuuton empowered wind. Then, when the weapon has been thrown as normal, the user is able to change it's direction by up to 90 degrees once with no drop in momentum on the projectiles part. This technique only lasts one post.
[color=lightgreen][b]Fuuton • Wind Tunnel[/color][/b]
D-Ranked Fuuton Jutsu
After forming a brief series of hand seals Takeshi will build up chakra manifesting a wind tunnel from within 10 meters of him. The stream of air will follow a funnel pattern that can be manifested in a variety of shapes but not manipulated after creation to serve a variety of purposes. The length of the tunnel is up to 10 meters long and 2 meters wide. This jutsu moves at a Speed and Strength equal to [Control] but does not contain the cutting passive of Fuuton. The wind tunnel will last for 2 posts after creation.
[color=lightgreen][b]Fuuton • Deep Breath[/b][/color]
D-Ranked Ninjutsu
Through much dedication and chakra control, Takeshi has learned to channel Fuuton chakra into his lungs, supplying raw oxygen without the typical properties of Fuuton. This effectively allows him to breathe without needing to inhale or exhale, making it an incredibly useful technique for stealth purposes. This technique can be maintained for a maximum of Chakra Pool/2 posts before needing to breathe normally again.
[color=lightgreen][b]Fuuton • Wind Bullet[/b][/color]
D-Ranked Ninjutsu
After performing the required hand seals or channeling chakra, the user expels a sphere of wind ranging in size from 10cm to 1 meter from their mouth. This ball of wind travels up to 15m at [Control] speed and explodes with [Control] Strength on contact with solid matter or at the end of its range expanding into a 5-meter diameter impact of cutting winds.
[color=lightgreen][b]Fuuton • Evasive Maneuvers[/color][/b]
D-ranked Fuuton jutsu
By channeling chakra to any point of their body, the user is able to summon a sudden gust of wind that will propel them with [Control] Speed in the opposite direction. Conversely, this can be used to interrupt opponents and objects, propelling them away from the user simultaneously with [Control] Strength. These bursts of wind can cover up to a 5-meter-wide area and propel both the user and the target outward for up to 10 meters.
[color=lightgreen][b]Fuuton • Wind Cushion[/color][/b]
D-ranked Fuuton jutsu
After forming the required hand seals the user will focus chakra into a location within 15 meters of his person. At the designated location a platform of wind will emerge at [Control] Speed with up to a 10-meter radius and up to 2 meters of depth. When a force impacts this accumulation of wind it will act as a cushion, absorbing any impact up to [Control] Strength. With an additional handseal the force can be repelled, acting as a trampoline of sorts. The platform will persist for 4 posts or until it is used to repel a physical force.
[color=lightgreen][b]Fuuton • Lift[/color][/b]
C-Ranked Fuuton Jutsu
After forming a set of hand seals the user will focus his chakra into an area within 30 meters of himself. Activating this supplementary technique will cause winds to rise up from the selected location, covering an area of up to 30x30x30 meters in [Control] Strength and [Control] Speed winds. These winds contain no cutting properties but can still be quite dangerous and difficult to traverse through, sending anything soaring high into the sky unless they are anchored with a Strength greater than the technique. The winds can persist for up to 4 posts.
[color=lightgreen][b]Fuuton • Godly Mountain Wind[/b][/color]
C-Ranked Ninjutsu
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, deep [Control] Strength cuts on the victim's body, covering the whole radius of the techniques point of contact.
[color=lightgreen][b]Fuuton • Upheaval[/b][/color]
C-Ranked Ninjutsu
After forming the necessary hand seals the user will clap their hands together, winds will swirl around them in a 30-meter radius at a Speed and Strength of [Control], pulling people and objects toward the epicenter where the user resides. These winds cut anything caught within them and will persist for up to 3 posts, leaving a 2-meter radius area around the user, moving with them.
*[color=lightgreen][b]Fuuton • Flying Swallow[/b][/color]
C-Ranked Fuuton Jutsu
After forming the necessary hand seals, the user coats their weapon in a vortex of wind. This extends the weapon's range by 1m while not adding anything to its weight for 5 posts. It also causes the weapon to gain an edge as sharp as your average sword. This also applies the fuuton passive with [Control] Strength on contact with an opponent.
[color=lightgreen][b]Fuuton • Great Breakthrough[/b][/color]
C-Ranked Ninjutsu
By performing the needed hand seals and bringing their hands to their mouth, the user can release a wide blast of air. This wave of air moves outward in a cone shape at a 1:1 ratio, 1 meter away from the user being 1 meter wide and a 25m width at the end of the cone. The wind moves with [Control] Speed. This cone of wind both cuts and pushes away with [Control] strength. This blast goes out for a maximum of 25m and can be held for a maximum of 2 posts and moved side to side to cover a large area so long as the user remains stationary.
[color=lightgreen][b]*Fuuton • Gentle Caress of Suffocation[/color][/b]
A-Ranked Ninjutsu
Once the user has performed the required hand seals, it is recommended that they take a deep breath. This is because their fuuton chakra will visibly surge outward to cover an area of 65m in all directions around their person. While this does not create a vaccuum or remove all the air, it does push specifically all of the oxygen out of the area and keeps it that way for 4 posts, though the duration can be extended if the final hand seal is held. Note that extending the duration will incur additional chakra costs. This technique causes all who remain within this area to lose 5 Endurance per post that they do not escape it. If they reach 0 Endurance, they will black out. The Endurance regenerates at a rate of 5 per post that they are outside of this technique's effect.
[color=lightgreen][b]Fuuton • Flight[/color][/b]
A-ranked Fuuton Jutsu
After forming the necessary handseals Takeshi will flow Fuuton natured chakra around his body in a thin veil. Unlike most Fuuton jutsu this veil contains no cutting properties, but it does create a buffer that blows aside any airborne particulates. In addition, it allows Takeshi to soar through the air, controlling his direction at will or conversely as he typically opts to do he can rely more on the Fuuton focused around his feet, running, jumping or even rolling across the sky as if he were on solid ground, remaining in full control of his movements. This jutsu can last for a maximum of 7 posts, allowing the user to move at a speed equal to his control to a maximum of his Speed stat.
[color=lightgreen][b]Fuuton • Rasenshuriken[/color][/b]
S-Ranked Fuuton Jutsu
Prerequisite: 35 Control, [color=#80A0FF][Rasengan][/color]
Channelling chakra into his hand or around an existing projectile, Takeshi will focus Fuuton natured chakra, creating a 1-meter wide Fuuma shuriken that rotates around a central rasengan-like sphere. He can then throw or otherwise launch this Fuuton shuriken up to a distance of 160 meters. At any point along its travel Takeshi can then form a single-handed seal, causing the Rasenshuriken to rapidly expand at a speed of [Control], spreading cutting winds with [Control] Strength over up to an 80-meter radius, utterly decimating everything in the vicinity, cutting everything in the designated area into oblivion so that not a single trace remains. These cutting winds will persist for 2 full posts before dissipating.
[/spoiler]
[Spoiler=Katon]*[color=orangered][b]Katon • Heated Blade[/b][/color]
[i]D-Rank Ninjutsu[/i]
By channeling katon chakra into a metal weapon or blade, the user will cause it to grow hotter and cover the blade in flames. The imbued weapon will be able to carve through defenses of [Control] or less strength with ease.[/Spoiler]
[Spoiler=Ash]*[color=coral][b]Ash Style • Scattered Coal Dust[/b][/color]
[i]D-Rank Ninjutsu[/i]
After performing hand seals, the user will expel Ash from their mouth to make a cloud of about 3 meters by 3 meters at a Speed of [Control] and with a Strength of [Control]. This cloud will hang in the air for 3 posts before dissipating. If anyone walks through the cloud, the Ash will cling to them with [Control] Strength.
*[color=coral][b]Ash Style • Skin of Embers[/b][/color]
[i]D-Rank Ninjutsu[/i]
After performing hand seals, the user will blow a covering of ash onto their hand at a Speed equal to [Control]. Over the course of the next 3 posts, the user will attempt to make contact with their opponent, transferring the Ash on their hand to the person. The Ash has a Strength of [Control] and can be removed by an opponent with equal or higher Strength.

Techniques include variations of tracking skills, sensory enhancement and stealth as well as the fundamental skills of threat assessment. Requires [Stealth] and [Perception] concentrations.
[color=#008000][b]Silent Movement[/b][/color]
C-Ranked Taijutsu Discipline
A fundamental skill in a hunter’s repertoire, Takeshi has learned to move at up to half his speed stat without making any discernable sounds. Even in thick foliage he can identify and navigate around fragile twigs and dry leaves and step on vegetation in a way as to not make a sound and similarly even draw weapons undetected unless the opponent has an applicable perception technique of equal or greater rank.

B-Ranked Taijutsu Discipline
Takeshi has spent many years learning how to track animals and man alike in a variety of environments. He can easily pick up on most trails, observing and analyzing footprints, scuff marks, broken branches and the like. He can determine the quantity, species, weight and other factors such as if the target is limping, running or moving stealthily. Unless heavily marred by environmental factors Takeshi can follow the physical sign of a trail even if it is several days or weeks old. In some rare instances where tracks have been preserved remarkably well this timeline can even extend to months.
[color=#008000][/b]Keen Ears[/b][/color]
A-Ranked Taijutsu Discipline
Takeshi’s sharp senses allow him to pick up on slight sounds within a 75-meter radius of himself. This can range from the sound of a weapon being drawn, a projectile in flight or subtle footsteps and sounds of breathing. In terms of eavesdropping, he can discern a conversation at such a range as if he were standing next to the person who is speaking.

He can pick up on faint scents that average shinobi wouldn’t even notice to the point where he can distinguish the individual body scents of people, able to determine various emotional states including detecting aggression, deception, fear as well as determine specific species of animals or gender even by just a strand of hair. The passive range of this ability is 100 meters though if he has picked up on a trail, he can continue to follow it to its source assuming there are still scent particles in the air or physical remnants of a trail.
[color=#008000][b]Stalking Shadow[/b][/color]

[Spoiler=Ninpou][color=#80A0FF][b][Ninpou • Chakra Armor][/b][/color]
C-Ranked Ninjutsu
The user channels chakra, flowing it in a thin layer across their body, including their hands and head. This amor has a strength of [Control] and forms at [Control] speed. This aura of chakra can also be formed on others, though only one person per cast, so long as they are within 25 meters of the user. This layer of chakra does not impede movement, normal bodily functions, or the ability to perform hand seals in any way.
[b][color=#80A0FF][Ninpou • Bubble Shield][/color][/b]
C-Ranked Ninjutsu
The user will perform hand seals and form a dome of chakra, up to 10 meters in diameter anywhere up to 20 meters away from them. The dome forms with a Speed and Strength equal to control and lasts for 6 posts or until destroyed. This chakra barrier is completely tangible and capable of trapping opponents or protecting allies. With an additional hand seal, the shield can be toggled to allow permeability one way or the other but each time it must remain permeable in that direction for at least a full post.
[b][color=#80A0FF][Ninjutsu • Barrier Death Trap][/color][/b]
A-Ranked Ninjutsu
After forming the necessary hand seals the user will focus on one of their barrier-like techniques within 65 meters of their position. Any ninpou technique surrounding a designated target will then contract around them at [Control] Speed and hold them in place without causing any significant damage for up to 5 posts. Then at the user’s discretion, the chakra can detonate in a [Control] Strength explosion that spans a number of meters equal to the strength of the explosion.
[b]*[color=#80A0FF][Ninjutsu • Body Flicker Technique][/color][/b]
A-Ranked Nintaijutsu
After channeling chakra into their body, the user enhances their movement to attack or retreat suddenly, the ninja almost instantly moves up to 65 meters on the ground in a single straight direction. While doing this, the ninja cannot move through anything or anyone, nor can they supplement it with an attack of any kind. After the quick movement has stopped, there is a brief pause where the user must recover from the movement. Even though it's not a full teleportation, this jutsu uses up one of the 2 teleportation’s a character can use in a single thread.
[b][color=#80A0FF][Ninjutsu • Active Camouflage][/color][/b]
A-Ranked Ninjutsu
After performing the necessary handseals or channelling chakra throughout their body, the user will coat themselves in a layer of chakra. This chakra will specifically distort light around the user, making the user undetectable from sight. The user can move at their full speed without disrupting this invisibility, even coating their weapons in the camouflage, however, should any of their possessions travel more than 5 meters from them the invisibility around the objects will fail. This active camouflage will persist for a duration of 7 posts.
[b][color=#80A0FF][Ninjutsu • Rasengan][/color][/b]
A-Ranked Ninjutsu
Considered an advanced form of shape manipulation, the Rasengan relies on the ninja's ability to mold chakra. The shinobi channels chakra into a contained, fast, and rotating sphere in the palm of their hand. Upon contact the sphere will repeatedly drill into the target with [Control] Strength. By releasing the technique, the user can cause the dense sphere to unravel and send whatever it is impacting flying backward in a spiral motion, expanding to affect everything within a 15-meter radius in a single direction away from the user with [Control] Strength and Speed. The Rasengan must stay in the user's hand, otherwise it will dissipate.
[b]*[color=#80A0FF][Ninjutsu • Shadow Clone Technique][/color][/b]
A-Ranked Ninjutsu
After performing the correct hand seals the user proceeds to create a number of clones of themselves (maximum is equal to 1/3rd the users Chakra Pool). Unlike the Clone Technique, these clones are actual copies of the user in both appearance and substance. The user's chakra is evenly distributed among every clone, giving each clone an equal fraction of the user's overall power. The clones are capable of performing jutsu on their own, be given complex commands, caught in genjutsu, and can even bleed, but they will usually disperse after one or two solid blows. The clones will be created in roughly the same condition as the original and any experience the clones gain during their existence is transferred to the user once they are dispersed. Given that the clones are an exact replica of the user, they share the same stats except for Chakra Pool, which is determined by the number of clones presently in effect.

The advantage of this form of the technique is that once dispersed, the chakra distributed to the clones returns to the user, allowing any un-used chakra to be regained, slowing the draining usage of this technique. The chakra returns to the user at a different rate depending on the user's control.

[center][b][big][color=#8000FF]History[/color][/big][/b][/center][spoiler=Historical Accounts]Takeshi was born the same year his father was inaugurated as the 17th Hokage of Konoha. The boy’s mother Hyuuga Aina was a powerful Bannin with an unfavorable reputation among her clan, not the least of which because she married a man outside of the clan. If it was anyone other than someone as powerful as the leader of the village it was likely the clan would go as far as to force Aina to abort her pregnancy. As it happened, she was pregnant with twins, and it was unclear if either of the children would inherit the famed doujutsu of the Hyuuga clan. As it turned out, only Takeshi who was born 4 minutes before his sister, inherited the bloodline of the Byakugan and thus was allowed to be named a Hyuuga under the condition the clan was able to supervise his training directly. His sister on the other hand took on the last name of their father; Natsuki.
Growing up Takeshi hardly noticed anything unusual about the family dynamic. He had an older adopted sister that was a Hyuuga as well as his mother and Kaori had both her father and an older half-brother that had blue eyes like her. It simply seemed completely normal to have such split traits among the family. Even as toddlers the twins were inseparable and very rambunctious, each of them eager to explore, simulate training they witnessed from their parents and older siblings and in general find ways to be active.
It wasn’t until the age of 6 when the twins entered the academy that they realized they had different last names and as such were treated much differently by their peers who always seemed to have a hard time believing they were siblings let alone twins. It was around this time that the Hyuuga clan began requiring twice-weekly lessons of him, teaching him to honor the clan history and begin to learn their styles. His sister, Kaori however was forbidden from entering the clan training halls or taking part in the lessons. This angered Takeshi greatly, not understanding why she shouldn’t be able to learn her family’s history as well simply because she looked a little different. Nonetheless, he swallowed his pride and after talking to his mother about his feelings vowed to change the clan himself while making sure to stand up for his sister around any of his Hyuuga cousins, refusing to let them treat her different than them.
While he didn’t go as far as to try to teach his sister Jyuuken he did make sure she knew their history and traditions. Even as his choice in clothing began to change and as he grew his hair longer as was custom in the clan, he always kept his heart noble and rooted, never forgoing his sister or allowing him to grow apart from her. He also began training with his older sister Hanako and growing closer to Yozei as well given his brother's own family issues given his royal lineage. In time, in order to honor the Natsuki portion of his family he too began going on hunting trips with his father and grandfather, picking up on some archery use and taking a liking to the bow. While he didn’t have Katon or Doton affinities like all of the existing Natsuki shinobi he could at least be a hunter like them.
As the boy grew older, he discovered his affinity for Fuuton and trained more under his father when he was able to see him, learning to blend the style with his archery and Hyuuga techniques. During these academy years the world was thrust into war and Takeshi felt near-constant worry for his parents and older siblings, at least one of which was off on deployment at any given time. Nonetheless, he persevered and focused on his training as well as Kaori, the two keeping each other’s spirits up throughout the ordeal. At the age of 11 he awakened his Byakugan and choose to model himself after elder Asano, the only Hyuuga to ever become Hokage and a man whose convictions resolved firmly around justice and order. It was a surprising choice to some but not an uncommon one, though in Takeshi’s mind his idea of justice meant a greater sense of fairness for one to treat out of clan relationships equally and with respect while still being firm with criminals and upholding certain traditions. Ultimately the young man displayed solid fundamentals in ninjutsu and chakra control and a growing prowess for taijutsu. Given the many excellent shinobi in his life let alone his immediate family it was no surprise that he graduated the academy at the age of 12 alongside his sister just a few months before Kiri shinobi killed his Grandfather Natsuki Isumu, the man dying to protect the twins while they were out on a camping trip when Kiri invaded. This heroic action left an imprint of great sorrow but also motivation to become stronger as well as a lingering resentment against shinobi of the mist. Shortly after Takeshi was approached and asked to join Anbu's ROOT training program, which he accepted without hesitation.
There, he was placed on a squad with Senju Noeru and Ibakuro Aiya, and under the instruction of the Anbu commander; Aizawa Yoru, he quickly excelled. Though he resented Yoru, for his former status as a missing nin and for his claim of a Byakguan, Takeshi studied under him. In fact, after marrying his adopted sister Hanako, the Anbu commander was considered family, though Takeshi never trusted him. His teammates however he gained a deep respect for and grew quickly in order to hold his own with them and prove his value to the squad. Each were 2 years his elder and easily advanced Chunin level but within a matter of months he had made great strides in closing the gap, even as they continued to progress as well. And by the end of the year Takeshi was easily on par with most Chunin, though he held himself back from taking the exams, having promised to be tested alongside his twin sister Kaori. Placed on a seperate team with her he struggled with the duality of hiding his true strength and finding himself only truly challenged when training among Anbu members. Having fought and claimed the legendary weapon; Anger only served to further drive him toward power as well as fuel his resentment, toward his father for his failings during the war, towards Yoru for his betrayal of the village, and even towards others his age for their weakness and lack of motivation even after the war. Now, he continues to feel more isolated within the village and disconnected from his comrades, failing to connect with even his anbu squad beyond his drive to surpass them. [/Spoiler]
