Appearance:

Kumori Ikazuchi has blonde hair about four inches long, and has eyes colored blue. He ranges exactly five feet tall in height, and about 155 lbs. in weight. He wears a black colored shirt, with separated sleeves running down both arms, which are black colored as well. He wears a pair of black colored pants that are fastened tightly by black colored bandages to the lower portion of each leg; this helps prevent his pants from having too much slack. As for footwear, Ikazuchi wears the common pair of shoes; his are colored black, with the top part cut out revealing his toes. On the back of his waist, he wears a white colored weapon pouch, which inside of it he stores; kunai knifes shuriken, paper bombs, metallic coil, and bandages for injuries. He wears a white and blue cloak around his waist and always has a grin on his face.

Hanging on his back, with the handle baring over his left shoulder, he carries his sword. This sword was entirely customized by Ikazuchi when his father created it at a younger age. Using certain minerals, he made this weapon to where it is now practically indestructible, thus making it an ideal weapon for a Kumori. Unique to most other swords, inside of this lives the spirit of a demonic bird. While on a mission, Ikazuchi's Father fused the spirit of the bird with the sword, in order to save a small village from certain destruction because of the creature. When his father passed away he was given this has a reminder of his father. After a short time had passed, Ikazuchi discovered that because of the bird’s spirit, his spiritually possessed sword was able to return to his hand on his command. Ikazuchi later named his sword, “Onitori”, which meant, “Demon Bird.”

Ikazuchi will awake in his own conscience and appear before a gate and hear a dreadful voice. Ikazuchi being of a young age will cry and always faint before the voice can speak to him. Ikazuchi will awake miles away from home, and will walk back to his apartment funded by the Raikage.

Personality:

As a Jounin shinobi, Ikazuchi is naturally very cautious, rarely letting his guard down. Usually, he is mostly calm; however, he does become tenser depending on the difficulty of the current situation. As a shinobi, Ikazuchi is an extremely gifted genius. He is incredibly fast both, physically and mentally. Nonetheless, he is officially a Jounin Metaphorically, he treats his life as a journey that unfolds by each step he takes, and where each step he walks, a new outcome for his future shall arise. Ikazuchi is smart and fast paste Jounin, but his power is trumped when he becomes lonely, sad, or even mad. Locked away inside the little boy is the spirit of a demon. Given to him by the Raikage for sentimental purposes, and to also protect the village. Ounce this was performed Ikazuchi was casted away by his Clan and his Village, he was sent to Konohagakure without even knowing the real truth.

Becoming stronger as a ninja is something Ikazuchi strives toward each day, and is one of his main purposes for living. When he is given time away from missions, he will spend the majority of that time training alone. When training, he trains not just to keep his abilities maintained, but he tries pushing his earthly limitations, and his body will forcibly grow in strength and stamina. Although he is an excellent ninja, his body does indeed grow weary with many hours of constant training. When his body feels utterly exhausted, he remembers the motto of his clan, "Never give up." Those words inspired Ikazuchi at a younger age to keep training and become stronger than his enemies. Every time that Ikazuchi tells himself to never give up when his body is tired and seemingly useless, his body seems to regain energy, and Ikazuchi becomes motivated to keep at whatever it is that he is currently doing.

Ikazuchi displays unique ability when he engages in combat. Depending on the strength of his opponent, he may use different methods of fighting. Against a highly ranked enemy, he is more likely to use mid-range and long distance techniques, and against an opponent of the same level or lower, he may revert to using his Taijutsu. Being impressively strong, Ikazuchi is, sure enough; however, his weakest fighting method is Genjutsu. Spending most of his time mastering his Ninjutsu and Taijutsu abilities meant that he never spent equal time training in the art of using Genjutsu. He is able to perform some illusionary techniques, but his knowledge of performing Genjutsu is significantly low compared to a Genjutsu master.

In his knowledge of performing elemental jutsu, Ikazuchi is able to perform three types of elemental techniques, the Raiton (Lightning), Fuuton (Wind), and a few Doton (Earth) elements. Ikazuchi is spectacular at performing his powerful Fuuton techniques, but he is truly a master at performing his Raiton techniques, especially because he has a developed affinity for the lightning element. The Doton element Ikazuchi rarely uses, thus, he has barely tapped into its true strengths.

~Clan Information~

Clan Name: Kumori

Kekei Genkai:

Tenraigan is the dojutsu Kekkei Genkai of the Kumori Clan. It is extremely powerful, yet extremely rare. It is said that a Kumori will only inherit these eyes once he has proven himself worthy The God Of Shadows Tenraigan appears to be eyes with a white and yellow iris, and four dark-purple rings circling both pupils. Each of the four dark-purple rings have a black colored center, and are all connected by what appears to be dark-purple lines. The user will not understand it, it can happen at any time from about up to the ranks of there high Genin times, meaning when they are about Chuunin or early Chunnin, the Gods of Shadow observes them. Deeming them worthy once something they do interest them giving them Tenraigan. And the user will not even know it. The Tenraigan is very fatal and useful. It has many secrets. Such as being able to see things that are not of the human eye, meaning of the gods of shadows eyes. The Divine eye has many powers that are yet to be unlocked.


The superb skills of the Tenraigan wielder, the possessor will gain certain abilities through out the experience of on the journey of mastering the Tenraigan. The most main skill of this powerful Doujutsu is the ability of being able to copy and use any lightning jutsu of there rank, but of course there is a limit as in Kekkai Genkai Lightning Techniques can not be copied.


The Basic Skill of most Doujutsu like the Uchiha's Sharingan or Hyuuga's Byakugan is the ability to be able to see chakra of all kinds including barrier chakra which means the user can see those who use techniques in which allows the user to disappear from the naked eye the Tenraigan wielder is able to easily see there opponent through there chakra , but not only just chakra if the user is skilled enough the eyes will allow them to see much precise meaning being able to lock on to things and keep up with there movements.



A more advanced skill of the Tenraigan is when the wielder become strong at this rate, we are talking more being chuunin but being able to fight at a more Jounin type level to gain this skill. The last and most common and famous skill in which made the Kumori clan famous, there use of lightning techniques, all members have a strong affinity to the element of Raiton. Using the lightning affinity to accumulate more power, as the Tenraigan develops and more experienced is gained. Bestowed upon them the abilities that mimic and imitate their characteristic personality. The Kumori clansmen have the innate ability for knowledge, destruction, & language. Given as a consolation or by default.

I. LANGUAGE. Some Kumori carry a natural gift for languages, much like that of the Silver King; those who are aware of the clan's abilities often pay small fortunes simply to have one break a valuable code. However, the power of this Kumori ability is the power of words themselves. Through lightning, they can equip it to the human vocal patterns, making jutsu that are activated with just meet speech instead of handseals. In conjunctions with seals on their palms, they use them as a medium to transfer the lightning chakra. Simply known as the Words of Power, they are able to influence the surrounding world. Beginning Kumori with this ability are limited in their use of Words of Power; typically, their skills are close-ranged, and often require physical contact. The number of Words they can maintain at once is severely limited, and their evocations must be spoken out loud in order to have any effect.

As time goes on, every Kumori can master more of their ability, learning to both work ranged techniques, and to cast lower level Words without actually speaking. As their chakra supply increases, members are capable of maintaining more than one sustainable Word of Power at a time.

As a backlash of their ability, and the strange forces that compose the Words of Power, Kumori are incapable of working even the most simple techniques of Ninjutsu and Genjutsu, unless its the lowest form of lightning jutsu for their rank. Their skills in the Medical Arts are limited to those that do not actually require chakra, such as quick-binding and stitching techniques, and their grasp of Taijutsu and Kenjutsu, can become advanced enough to cover for their lack of other shinobi arts.


II. KNOWLEDGE. Kumori givein this ability are able to add memories, thoughts, emotions, and desires to an opponent. Using the lightning as an emitter, they can emit molecular bits chakra as pulses that would allow access to the mind and its thought process. These effects are only temporary and wear off after battle. This type of ability, named Pushing by the Shadow Gods, can be very deadly if used properly. For they can give someone the memory that they had killed their family, or tell them they want to kill themselves, and to make it worse make them depressed and have a desire to death.

Although there are restrictions to such a suggestive ability. At a genin level memories are very restricted for it simply cannot be done. Thoughts are a very simple thing, to get into their opponents minds and make them think whatever they want. Each though must be short and straight to the point. Only simple emotions are allowed, like anger, sadness, and happiness. For desires, desires to kill oneself are not allowed, desires for a genin are simple like a desire for a certain person, to do something, or maybe a color or a type of food. The user can choose between giving a desire, emotion, thought, etc. every three of the users post meaning only one every three posts.


At chuunin level memories can be accessed. Though memories like thoughts for genin’s must be short and straight to the point, and cannot be very detailed. Making the memory very odd seeming. Thoughts can be long and descriptive, to match a opponents personality. Emotions can be more complicated and the user can cast great depression or, enough anger to make one crazy. For desires, the user can give the opponent desires about anything they wish, but desires must be small and straight to the point, nothing descriptive. The user can only use on of these options per turn.


At a jounin level. The user can fully access memories and add ones that were not there before, being as descriptive as they want. Thoughts can be very suggestive and almost endless in length. Though the more concentration put into each one takes more chakra to create. For emotions the user can pick whatever emotion they have knowledge, and have felt before. As for desires, the user can be creative and give almost any desire, though the desire for death and hurting oneself is always weak and can be ignored easily.


These abilities take chakra of course, and the longer and more concentration taken in each thing takes more concentration. A genin uses a lot of chakra doing those simple tasks and chuunin shares a fair toll as well. Many Kumori with this ability our enlisted within the Special Ops and are used for interrogation. Kumori with this ability are most likely to stay away from battle and our kind and friendly in nature.

III. DESTRUCTION. The Kumori clan is granted its power from the evil shadow gods that inhabit the netherworld. Destruction is their main forte and comes with the job of being a shadow god, so of course they would have given their pupil the power to cause destruction as well. This ability is determined at birth whether or not the ninja chosen will be of great worth or die a useless tool. The ability to wield lightning at its maximum without the cost of chakra. The user is cuts off all his chakra dependencies and learns to use pure lightning. Unable to use regular jutsu anymore, this ability comes with the biggest cost.

Clan History:

The Kumori Clan was one of the first clans to reside in Kumogakure. During the early years of the village, the Kumori Clan was considered to be the most powerful clan in Kumogakure. The clan was superior to every other clan residing within the village in strength, as well as the amount living members. Unfortunately, as generations passed, the clan gradually lost its superiority. There were exactly fourteen living members of the clan once Naito was born, making Naito the last member to ever have been born into the clan.

When Kumogakure was still young, the clan owned a small residential district. As was needed for the clan, the district had many houses. However, as Kumogakure grew in population, the Kumori Clan was reducing in members. During the time of Sandaime Raikage, the clan downsized, selling off their district to Kumogakure, and used some of that money to build a residential building for the clan’s inhabitants.

Elder Hanjibo, who was Kazaharku’s father, was once the leader of the Kumori Clan. But when his son Kazaharku inherited Tenraigan, he stepped down, placing Kazaharku as the new leader of the clan. As his last decision before he passed on his authority, he ordered that no one was permitted to discuss Tenraigan, unless in a clan meeting, or with the current leader of the clan’s permission. This rule was created to protect the secrets of Tenraigan from becoming well known throughout the world. When Kazaharku died, Elder Hanjibo reclaimed authority of the clan. When Kiseido Yuto killed everyone in the clan, with the exceptions of Yasuto and Naito, Yasuto would become the new leader for the next two years until he also died. Now the last Kumori alive, Ikazuchi is recognized as the leader of the fallen clan.

According to legend, the Kumori Clan was chosen by, God of Shadows to be the absolute masters above all at performing Manipulation techniques. It is also said, that when a Kumori proves himself worthy to the God Of Shadows by becoming incredibly strong, he will bless that Kumori by granting him the powers of, “Tenraigan” (Literally meaning, “Havenly Eye”). This is the extremely rare Kekkei Genkai of the clan. Throughout history, only three Kumori Clan members have ever possessed it. Kumori Gendurai, who was the first to have this power, lived when Shodai Raikage served. He inherited these eyes at the age of Thirty-One years and mastered all of its abilities by age Thirty-Three. When he was the age of Thirty-Five years.

The second to ever inherit these eyes was Naito’s father, Kumori Kazaharku who lived when Sandaime Raikage and Yondaime Raikage served. He inherited these same eyes at the age of Twenty-Three years old. By age Twenty-Five, he mastered all of its abilities. Naito, who was the last to inherit these eyes, inherited them at the young age of 12 years. Naito had mastered all of Tenraigan’s abilities a year later at the age of 15 years. Because of this, Naito is definitely the strongest Kumori to ever arise from the clan.

Special Characteristics:

Initially, Ikazuchi was a victim of the technique known as Haunt, specific to a ninja named Ranryu. Ranryu was a high ranked ninja who was caught at his prime and wasn't ready to give up life. In his time, Ranryu served as a mentor-type to different families preparing them as a vessel to continue his life because he knew that his time had drawn finite. When found out about his devious plan he was hunted down and force to use his ultimate technique. At birth this technique was performed on the small infant (Ikazuchi) and continued to exist with him. Invading his dreams on a nightly basis only served to bolster Ikazuchi’s knowledge of how the process worked. Ranryu had planned on taking over Ikazuchi’s body when it was in a weakened state; that, or completely dead. The tides had turned on the mastermind though. All but dead after an assassination attempt, he tried to use the ability on Ikazuchi prematurely. This was a mistake, one not anticipated. Ikazuchi had the mental fortitude to and the sufficient viscera to, in effect, reverse the stasis of the Haunt ability on Ranryu, in the form of a technique now known as All Life Submits. Through the exploitation of the weaknesses—both in the jutsu and within Ranryu in his defeated state—he managed to lock the evil genius in a partition within his mind. Thus allowing the user to become the used.

EFFECTS ON PERSONALITY
On the surface, there are no significant effects on his personality. It’s all but completely hidden from anyone that he has associations with. However, extenuating usage has caused him to become more violent in battle—though he still shows the ability to restrain them from taking over and predicting his actions. Despite this urge to utterly destroy those that he gets into squabbles with, this is nothing new, since he was born from a clan and an environment with abysmal moral virtue to begin with. He is now more perceptive of the environment around him, something that he had trouble with at times before his new found ability to focus on the minuscule.

ABILITIES GRANTED
This cohabitation has granted him complete knowledge to all of Ranryu’s secrets, from anything involving the Nisshoku to the Jekial, Jitijin, Fuuma, Uzumaki and Izanami. This extends to Nagato, his father, and those that he has been involved in battle and associations with, such as Kabuto Yakushi. Anything involving his abducted bodies and the experiments concerning them, including mission history and recollected battle experiences. Nothing is hidden from Ikazuchi that Ranryu knew; nothing that he has experienced in his life. He may also draw on Ranryu and Kabuto’s congealed chakra reserves in direct correlation with All Life Submits technique. If he meets the proper conditions and level of skill, he may grow to learn techniques directly from Ranryu’s knowledge, but only if specialties and elements permit.
(This does not apply to bloodline-related things, even techniques. In fact, he doesn’t get anything like nor related to that.)


DOWNSIDES OF USAGE
There are some things that are useless to him that Ranryu has, such as his high-level Genjutsu techniques that he will never be able to learn for example. This is one of the more unfortunate aspects, if anything. The real danger to these perks comes with overuse. Normally Ranryu is quite easy for Ikazuchi to control and force back due to his new compartmentalized development. But if he ventures into the area in his mind where Ranryu resides too often, without allowing himself a chance to mentally exhaust the negative influences inherent within, then he is liable to have his mind completely overtaken. This applies more if he is low (or out) of his own chakra and grows dependent. Worse still, there is also a chance that both of their minds will become lost; this would result in his body being a useless flesh heap.

Flaws/Weaknesses:

One of my weaknesses is that I sometimes pay too much attention to details and while this skill set is crucial to projects with zero tolerance for errors, it can lead to analysis paralysis in cases of projects that require quick turnaround time. Consequently, I have made conscious efforts to address this weakness by applying Pareto’s “80/20″ rule to recognize the most important factors (”vital few”) in any given situation and spend little time on the less important issues (”trivial many”).

Name: Boufuu Oshiken :: [Gale Pressure Fist]
Rank: B-Rank
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Wind
Range: Close [0-5m]
Clan: -
Description: Boufuu Oshiken :: [Gale Pressure Fist] is a technique utilizing the wind element. First, the shinobi utilizing this technique will perform a hand sign that releases the chakra within their body. They will then pool the chakra into the palm of one or both of their hands, and then pour their own wind natured chhakra into the mix. The user will then pressurize the wind, compacting it to make the force truly incredible. When the user is ready to unleash the attack, they will stop pressurizing the air and unleash it in one, intense burst that has the power to shatter bones on direct contact. However, this technique cannot be thrown and must be thrust forward like a punch towards their opponent. One has to be careful that the attack is not redirected, for the blow back properties can prove to be dire for the one utilizing this technique.

Name: Boufuu Oshibenso :: [Gale Pressure Defense]
Rank: B-Rank
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Wind
Range: Close [0-5m]
Clan: -
Description: Boufuu Oshibenso :: [Gale Pressure Defense] is a technique utilizing the Wind element. It is a defensive technique that allows the user to expel a pressurized gust of air from their body to repel attacks and techniques. The gust of air holds the cutting properties as well as the blunt properties of concussive wind. To perform the technique, the user will perform two hand seals to release the chakra within his body. He will then gather a pressurized film of air around his entire person through the manipulation of his Wind natured chakra. By then releasing the film in an instant, a great concussive blast will expel from the user for about five meters in every direction before dissipating. The weakness in this technique, however, as that should a mass hold enough weight it cannot be repelled by the concussive blast [Ex. A building or incredibly large boulder cannot be repelled by the technique]. The technique also lacks any sort of control of the chakra being forced out of the body, and could prove to be a costly expenditure of power if used in quick succession.

Name: Bouhuu Oshihanma :: [Gale Pressure Hammer]
Rank: B-Rank
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Wind
Range: Mid [0-10m]
Clan: -
Description: Bouhuu Oshihanma :: [Gale Pressure Hammer] is a technique that utilizes the great concussive forces of the Wind element. It is an offensive jutsu that allows the user create a great gale of pressurized wind to fall on their opponent, not only dealing cutting damage but great blunt damage at the same time. To utilize the technique, the user will perform two hand seals to release the chakra within his body. He will then gather a pressurized vortex of hair into his palm much like the technique Boufuu Oshiken :: [Gale Pressure Fist]. However, the uses of the pressurized vortex is different. By leaping above the opponent, the user of this technique can aim to vortex and release the forces pressurizing the air to create a pillar of swirling, concussive air to expel from their hand towards their opponent. Should the opponent become trapped inside, they will suffer from severe cuts and blunt trauma. However, the accuracy of the technique is very low and must be used strategically to be placed in a position that allows for the best use.

Name: Boufuu Oshikadou :: [Gale Pressure Vortex]
Rank: B-Rank
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Wind
Range: Mid [0-10m]
Clan: -
Description: Boufuu Oshikadou :: [Gale Pressure Vortex] is a technique that utilizes a pressurized form of air through art of Fuuton :: [Wind Release]. By pressurizing the air in a certain area and then giving it a centripetal mobility, the user of the technique can create a great vortex of air that sucks objects and opponents into should they not have the proper grounding. To perform the technique, the user will perform two hand seals to release the chakra within his body. He will then gather a pressurized vortex of hair into his palm much like the technique Boufuu Oshiken :: [Gale Pressure Fist]. However, the difference in this technique lies within the controlling of the pressurized air as opposed to the releasing of it as in the technique's sister techniques. By placing the ball of pressurized air in a given area and then spin it, the user will create a powerful vortex of air in that given area. The vortex has the strongest powers of suction from about a ten meter radius; any farther than that will prove to be useless. The shinobi utilizing this technique will usually launch the pressurized air at an area or opponent so as not to be trapped within their own technique and to give it the rotating qualities it needs to successfully gain its vortex-like nature. The greatest weakness in this technique is the proximity the target must fall into to be trapped by the technique and the possibility of trapping oneself within it. The vortex can be dissipated at any time through the use of a release hand seal by the user.

Name: Fuuton: Hageshii Daitoppa [Wind Release: Violent Great Breakthrough]
Rank: B-Rank
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Wind
Range: Mid [0-10m]
Clan: -
Description: This technique creates a large explosion of wind from the user’s location, easily leveling everything in its path. This is accomplished by literally inhaling chakra and congealing it in the user’s lungs, creating an expanse of air that combines itself with the oxygen that surrounds them into an immense, destructive gust. This technique is pliable to other elements as well, such as fire, and may be used in conjunction with these elements in order to increase the strength and destructive ability of the release. As it is naturally strong against weapon and lightning-based techniques, it can make such offenses harmless.

Name: Infection
Rank: B-Rank
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: -
Range: Long [0-40m]
Clan: Kumori
Description: This jutsu requires the use of words of power, which are done at a quick rate. Once the spoken word "Infection" is stated by the user, chakra will spew out his body as a gaseous state. As the chakra surrounds the battle field it will seep into the opponents chakra networks and siphon their chakra. Replenishing the users. Making this a quick and efficient way to strategically kill off your opponent before the battles draws out.

Name: Oxygen Syringe Injection
Rank: A-Rank
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Wind
Range: Close [0-5m]
Clan: Kumori
Description: An Evocation of three words used to make a stronger technique. Once "Oxygen Syringe Injection" is spoken by the user the effects of the evocation will come to light. At a close range the user is able to inject unsustainable amounts of oxygen suffocating the opponent on air.

Name: Patching Up Heavy Damage
Rank: A-Rank
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: -
Range: Passive
Clan: Kumori
Description: This evocation is relatively simple nature, yet one that would be classified as difficult in that no ordinary shinobi can perform it. In order to enact upon the healing factor that is already provided for in Ikazuchi's body. To perform this evocation the Spoken Name of this technique must be stated and the user must concentrate on the damged regions of his body. This technique increases his healing factor to such an extent that a full limb can be grown if one had been lost. However, there are limitations to this technique. For one, the chakra needed for the reformation of a limb would stem straight from the pool of chakra in his heart. Putting a strain on Ikazuchi's heart when performed, preventing multiple uses within a short timeframe.

Name: Ukime;Nou [ | Grief Memory | ]
Rank: S-Rank
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: -
Range: Passive
Clan: -
Description: This is the true nature of the symbol of Kill that takes advantage of the genetic recombination transformation Ikazuchi is not capable of. However, this furthest extent of the transformation is limited only to a select list of potential transformation, for with this technique Ikazuchi can only transform into the images of people he has claimed the life of. This technique uses information stored in a spiritual level already upon Ikazuchi’s soul. To take a life leaves behind a unique spiritual marker that appears as a black spot on the soul to Ikazuchi’s Tenraiigan. For this technique, Ikazuchi must perform a complex series of hand-signs, and must remain motionless for a single post as he concentrates on the memories of the killed opponent. The transformation process is as smooth as with the weaker form of this ability. However, Ikazuchi will now have full access to the strengths and abilities of that particular target. This technique has a limitation of 8 posts for somewhat safe use. However, there is an additional downside to this. The longer Ikazuchi is within this state, the more confused he will become. If he has remained in this state for 8 posts he will have taken on the belief that he is not imitating someone, but he is actually that person. Thus, if not canceled before the 8 post mark, Ikazuchi will suffer from temporary insanity, to which the cure is that he must be pulled out of this technique, either by exhaustion, or by physical trauma. Once pulled out of this transformation, Ikazuchi will not regain his full sanity until 8 posts have passed.

Name: Chakra Keichuu no Jutsu :: [Chakra Concentration Technique]
Rank: C-Rank
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: -
Range: Passive
Clan: -
Description: Chakra Keichuu no Jutsu :: [Chakra Concentration Technique] is a very versatile skill used by many Taijutsu and Kenjutsu based shinobi. The use of this technique is to pool ones own chakra into specific parts of the body, or even into certain weapons of the user's choice. By pooling chakra into certain areas, that area will become stronger physically, and if released at the right moment, will add more power behind an attack dealt from area with the pooled chakra. Many users of this technique use it to pool their chakra into their fists and feet so that their punches and kicks will have more driving force and the power of initial impact will increase exponentially. In the field of kenjutsu, when a chakra current is passed through the weapon, it will become immensely tougher than it had before. It also creates sharper edges, and in some cases, can even extend the blade of the weapon. The art of Chakra Concentration is slightly difficult to master, and once mastered, brings the young shinobi who wields it onto another plane of chakra control. More advanced levels of this technique allow for the flow of elemental chakra, but such techniques require even higher chakra control, and chakra sensitive weapons. When utilizing this technique, objects and body parts surrounded by the pooled chakra become 20-30% more durable, as well as the the brute force from initial impact.

Name: Kikan Hyou - Feedback Panther
Rank: C-Rank
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Lightning
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m)
Clan: -
Description: a Ninjutsu technique utilizing the Lightning Element. After forming a string of hand seals, the user will gather electrical current around their body and "project" an outlined form of a panther that dashes out just above the ground toward a target. The static electricity that makes up the beast paralyzes the nerves of anyone it come in contact with making this technique useful for capturing or holding a person in place from range.


Name: Aakuhouden Kama - Arc Discharge Sickle
Rank: B-Rank
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Lightning
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Clan: -
Description: a Ninjutsu technique utilizing the Lightning element. The user will first begin this technique by gathering a fairly large amount of lightning chakra into each hand which will case the electrical energy to begin to crackle and arc. By bringing his or her hands together, the user will force a majority of the electrical arcing to occurring between the two hands. Anything caught between the two hands at this point catches fire of begins to melt from the massive amount of heat. It is because this heat that the user is forced to complete the jutsu quickly by twirling in a circle an release the perfectly crescent of lightning towards a target. On contact the crescent disintegrates into countless bolts of small lightning originating from the contact point that effectively charge, burn and electrocute anything within a short radius.


Name: Umitsukeru no Kumo [Spawning of Clouds]
Rank: [C-B]-Rank
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Lightning
Range: Med (0-10m)
Clan: -
Description: Using the Lightning Element, Ikazuchi will form hand seals, and with his Chakra, and some help from surrounding air moisture, Ikazuchi will be able to create a semi-sentinel being out of lightning Chakra and clouds. The more air moisture he can pull from the surrounding atmosphere, the less Chakra he will have to utilize for making one. For any purposes he might have for them, he can store any amount of Lightning Chakra into them for them to attack with. In it's most basic form, a Cloud Spawn may appear to look like cute and fluffy ghosts, but Ikazuchi can alter their appearance either during creation or donating Chakra to one that already lives. A Genin with only the lightning Element who has created a Cloud Spawn can give it simple commands verbally, and the spawn will obey. It is able to extend it's body, focus the chakra given to it to keep its form against attacks such as kunai or swords, and envelope the opponent within itself. If they can do this, and the opponent is trapped in there long enough, they will eventually drown. They can float as they will above the ground, though there is a limit because of the weight of the Chakra given to them, change their appearance dependent on the amount they are given to simple clouds such as those in the sky to humanoid shapes. A Chuunin with the aid of the Lightning Element can charge Lightning Chakra into the Cloud Spawn for them to shoot bolts of lightning and electrocute the opponent with. Also, a Chuunin with enough skill will be able to fly on simple platform-shaped Cloud Spawn. Any attempt for an attack on them physical may prove fruitless, as clouds are collections of air moisture, regular taijutsu will do the opponent no good. Against Chakra attacks such as the Jyuuken; as it is not a systematically source within the Cloud Spawn, attacks such as the Rotation will do well in attempting to disperse them. Against Elemental Techniques, the Cloud Spawn might:

[Katon - Fire Release] :: They will evaporate with enough successful hits.
[Suiton - Water Release] :: They will absorb the water to grow in power, but not in Chakra.
[Doton - Earth Release] :: They will disperse and regroup depending on the mettle of the hit.
[Raiton - Lightning Release] :: They will absorb the charge for their own Lightning attacks.
[Fuuton - Wind Release] :: They will either disperse into air moisture back to the atmosphere, or regroup later.

Appearance: (Can be changed at will by Ikazuchi)

Ikazuchi gives the Cloud Spawn a skeletal composition of the living remains of compiled corpses. It’s skull is rather smaller compared with its body, and the head features one eye larger then the other. Furthermore, black, bull-like horns emerge out from the side of the skull. At the location of major tendons there is a muscular mass that connects the bones. The chest is large, with board shoulders. While one hand looks mostly normal, save for the sharpened claws, while the other features the second mouth of the beast. While this is little jaw on the skull, the demon’s vocal cords and tongue are contained in the esophagus as normal. This second mouth on the hand does not speak, though can make grunting noises, and is centered on a large mass of the muscular flesh. The legs for this cloud are no good for standing on, other then impaling oneself upon the ground as they form sharp blade-like points. However, the Cloud Spawngets around by flight using the massive wings to either side of it. There are two whip-like tails that extend out of the shoulders. The Cloud Spawn stands at roughly seven feet fall.

Name: Hyoumenka Rain Tama no Jutsu
Rank: S-Rank
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Lightning
Range: Long (0-40m)
Clan: -
Description: The Hyoumenka Rain no Jutsu is the most coveted jutsus in Ikazuchi's arsenal. The main purpose of this attack is to score multiple strikes on an opponent. The most basic form is formed after a “tori” hand seal. Ikazuchi would charge chakra to the fingertip of his pointer finger, then wave his hand in the air in front of him, to form a thin chakra line. This chakra was solid in form and was about as strong an attack by a blade. But the technique wasn’t done there, in fact it was only a cover. The thin line would then shatter either by Ikazuchi's command or by an object touching it. This would then send a quickly formed wave of lighting senbon like chakra bits towards where its center point was faced. This was like being struck by twenty senbon.



Style Name: Jeet Kune Do :: [Way of the Intercepting Fist]
Style Type:
Rank: C-Rank
Style Weapon:
Description & Origin/History:

To move like the Wind is to understand the Wind. To understand the Wind is to become the Wind. There are many styles of Taijutsu that incorporate strict principles, patterns, and set lines of movement. Does Wind have one set pattern or movement? Through this, is Wind predictable? No. Wind is completely unpredictable and is more of a philosophy or idea rather than a tangible object or weapon. Jeet Kune Do is a style that resembles the unpredictable yet controlled flowing nature of wind and water. It centers around the recycling of energy and minimizing time and maximizing total energy. It is more a philosophy with guiding thoughts than it is a style of Taijutsu.

The style takes its power from the act of "intercepting" their opponent's movements. However, this is not only limited to the physical movements that one expects to intercept. It also encompasses a broad range of non-verbals and telegraphs that can also be anticipated and intercepted. This requires a greater mindset for the Jeet Kune Do practitioner to understand their opponents emotions and subtle quirks that might give away their intended movement. In the physical aspect, the style centers around a series of stop kicks and stop hits, these being techniques that intercept an opponent's attack with an attack of your own instead of a simple block, and simultaneous parrying and punching. By combining attack and defense into two movements thus minimizing the time element and maximizing the energy element. Efficiency is gained by utilizing a parry rather than a block. By definition a block stops an attack whereas a parry merely re-directs an attack. Redirection has two advantages: It requires less energy to execute. It utilizes the opponents energy against them by creating an imbalance. Efficiency is also gained in that the opponent has less time to react to the nullification of their attack while having to worry about defending an incoming attack. Jeet Kune Do is style that takes the opponent's strength, manipulates it, and redirects it back to their opponent.

Much like water, wind is infinitely flexible. It can be seen through, and yet at other times it can obscure things from sight. It can split and go around things, rejoining on the other side, or it can crash through things. It can erode the hardest rocks by gently whipping away at them or it can flow past the tiniest pebble. It is as simple as it is complex, which is why the Jeet Kune Do fighting style revolves around the belief of using efficient movement rather than flashy motion. Practitioners are taught to waste no time in movement and perform attacks that are only completely necessary to bring down the opponent. The Jeet Kune Do style demands flexibility, as do many, if not all forms of martial arts. Jeet Kune Do is claimed to be a dynamic concept that is forever changing, much like the Wind, thus being extremely flexible. "Absorb what is useful; Disregard that which is useless" Jeet Kune Do practitioners are encouraged to study every form of combat possible. This is believed to expand one's knowledge of other fighting systems; to both add to one's arsenal as well as to know how to defend against such tactics.

A practitioner of this style of Taijutsu must learn the Four Ranges of Combat: Kicking, Punching, Trapping, and Grappling. In Jeet Kune Do, all of these ranges are used equally. Through these Four Ranges of Combat, the practitioner of Jeet Kune Do can perform the Five Ways of Attack. The Single Angular Attack and the Single Direct Attack are used as the primary, and straightforward offensive techniques. Hand Immobilization Attack and Foot Immobilization Attack are used in trapping to limit the opponent's movement as well as provide an opening for attack. Progressive Indirect Attack deals with attacking one section of the body, and then subsequently directing another attack to a completely different area as a means to create an opening and to catch the opponent off guard. Attack By Combinations focuses on overwhelming the opponent with a relentless onslaught of attacks. And finally, Attack By Drawing centers around the principle of counter attacks to defeat an opponent. Through the Four Ranges of Combat and the Five Ways of Attack, the Jeet Kune Do practitioner can then incorporate the ideal of controlling the centerline, a theoretical line that runs down the center of one's body. Jeet Kune Do allows for the opening of your opponent's center line while simultaneously protecting your own. "The one who controls the centerline will control the fight."

The final principle of Jeet Kune Do is the belief of combat realism. This principle does not mean choosing, collecting, compiling, or assembling the best techniques from various diverse styles and slapping them together to form a new style. To do so is to miss the point of Jeet Kune Do. Absorbing what is useful is about immersing oneself in style or system and learning and grasping its essence. Going back to the base belief of Wind, one must become Wind to understand it. To truly understand the Jeet Kune Do fighting style, one must become Jeet Kune Do. Styles provide more than just mere techniques; they offer training methods, theories, and mental attitudes. Applying what is learned in real combat training situations is what allows the student to figure what works or doesn't work for oneself. It is at this point that one can "discard that which is useless". The critical point of this principle is that the choice of what to keep is based on personal experimentation with various opponents over time. As seen in this video, the man in white is a practitioner in the art of Jeet Kune Do, whereas the other is a Kung Fu specialist. Notice how throughout the battle, one the Kung Fu practitioner bests on of the white-shirted man's styles, he changes his means of attack. After multiple experimentation, the man finally finds a style that bests the Kung Fu expert. Also notice how little movement the man performs, whereas the Kung Fu expert can be seen making many unnecessary and flashy movements throughout the course of the battle. Hopefully through this exemplification of the Jeet Kune Do style, one can comprehend its principles.

In retrospect, Jeet Kune Do is a style that reflects one's understanding of all martial arts. It is a flexible and malleable style of combat that focuses around improvisation and experimentation. Teishu has come to use this philosophical style when battling not only for its prowess in offensive redirection, but for its imperative understanding for all styles of fighting. Teishu has always prided himself in saying that while he is truly adept in the art of Summoning, he prides himself in being a master of Taijutsu based attacks. It is the prime style for one looking to master all forms of physical combat, and grants an enlightened state of mind not only on the battlefield, but in life itself.

~History/RP Sample~

History/Background Story:

Yasuto began training Ikazuchi with the basic skills, such as, proper shuriken throwing, weapon utilization and basic Taijutsu skills. One year later, when Ikazuchi was at the age of Nine years, Yasuto began teaching him how to perform the simple Clone Technique as well. After Ikazuchi had learned the Clone Technique, Yasuto began teaching him how to manipulate chakra, so that he would be able to use as little chakra as possible when performing jutsu, by teaching him the Act of Tree Climbing [Kinobori no Waza]. At this time, Ikazuchi was a very fortunate student, not only was Konohagakure’s Ninja Academy teaching him ninja skills, but also, his Chuunin ranked cousin was teaching him techniques in advance. Ikazuchi excelled compared to the other students in the academy, and he was always at the head of his class.

At the age of Ten years, Ikazuchi had proven to his mentor, Yasuto, that he possessed enough potential to be a splendid ninja in the future. He began teaching him how to exert chakra, and then when Ikazuchi was able to do that correctly, he taught him how to exert chakra and transform it into electricity at the same time. This process was somewhat difficult for Ikazuchi since he was at such a young age, and he had never been able to morph his chakra into electricity. But a few months after he started learning how to create electricity from his chakra, Yasuto began teaching him to fuse his electricity with the metal in the blade of a sword, to increase the sharpness of the blade excessively.

As Yasuto wanted, Ikazuchi became interested with sword utilization in battle. After he succeeded with fusing electricity into metal, Yasuto began teaching Ikazuchi the basics of sword usage. When Ikazuchi reached the age of Eleven years, he was able to use a sword exceptionally well. While he and Yasuto still trained at the usage of swords, Yasuto began teaching him to exert electricity in the palm of his hand, and maintain a sphere shaped form. The training of this technique for Ikazuchi lasted a while; however, a few months before turning Twelve years old, he had the basics of this technique learned.

Upon reaching the age of Twelve years, Ikazuchi graduated from Konohagakure’s Ninja Academy, and became a Genin. Soon after achieving this rank, Ikazuchi mastered the use of Tenraigan. He was now able to fuse the electricity in metal objects, either to make them a deadly electrifying weapon, or increase its sharpness if it had a blade. Almost one full year later, while he and Yasuto were out training one day, Ikazuchi’s body was pushed to its limits, and he fainted. He was unconscious for a few minutes before he woke up. When he awoke, Yasuto told him that with intense training, and pushing his body to its limitations, fainting would happen more often. He also told him that he wasn't really Lores but a member of a different clan and that when he got older he should go and find out his true nature. From then on, Ikazuchi has been motivated to become as strong as possible. It was then when Ikazuchi promised Yasuto that he would become the strongest ninja to ever arise from the Konohagakure, no matter what intense training that would be required to put his body through.

Unfortunately, the next day, when Ikazuchi left his home to go out and train in solitude, his true clan was taking a turn for the worst. He would have been training with Yasuto, however, being a Chuunin ranked ninja of Konohagakure, Yasuto was required to carry out a mission in a foreign country that day. Almost a few hours of extreme training had passed, and Ikazuchi fainted. When he regained consciousness, the day had already come to nightfall. In fact, it was at least a couple of hours into the night when finally awoke. Ikazuchi rushed back home, knowing that he was in for an unpleasant surprise from his mother.

But when he arrived, he did not expect what he was seeing. His house was consumed by fire with flames roaring out of each window and doorway of the building. His reflex’s told him to react to the situation somehow. He had to do something quick, so he began running further toward his home, hoping his mother and father were not inside. When he noticed that one of the windows had only a few small flames shooting out from it, he gave a thrust with his legs, and jumped into the air toward the window, but before being able to jump through it and land inside, a hard, sudden force smashed into him in mid-air. He was sent flying backward to the ground. Before crashing into the ground, he stuck out his right hand, then pushed off of it and landed on both of his feet. Ikazuchi had no idea as to what just hit him. Only moments later, a shinobi appeared before the eyes of Ikazuchi. Based off of the armor he wore, Ikazuchi assumed the shinobi to be an ANBU operative of a foreign village.

A short moment later, the shinobi removed the mask that he had been wearing. On his forehead-protector that was strapped to his forehead, was the symbol carried by all Iwagakure ninja. Ikazuchi felt in his heart that he was the one responsible for the fire. The enemy ninja then introduced himself to Ikazuchi as, Kiseido Yuto, and explained that he was the one who caused the fire. Ikazuchi instantly knew his family was dead after Yuto confirmed that he set the building on fire. With mixed emotions of fear and rage, Ikazuchi proceeded to ask him what reason he had for killing his family.

Yuto then explained that he was only after the Kumori Clan's Kekkei Genkai, “Tenraigan.” At the time, Ikazuchi did not know what he was talking about. Therefore, he refused to believe him. Yuto continued to say that only a couple existing Kumori had ever possessed it. Being a practical sacred legendary dojutsu, this Kekkei Genkai only resided in two other shinobi of the clan. Ikazuchi was gradually starting to think about what his cousin said and now knew what the man was talking about. Yuto went on to continue explaining how he discovered it.

He said that his first encounter with “Tenraigan” was when he fought against a member of the clan nine years previous. Ikazuchi realized that he was speaking about a member of his clan. Yuto continued and told how a man named Kazaharku killed his two teammates on their mission that night after he followed them miles away from the village. He noticed the Kazaharku possessed a dojutsu, because his eyes were an unrealistic dark yellow color. Yuto assumed that his dojutsu was what was allowing him move incredibly fast. After a tedious battle, Kazaharku reached his limit in energy. He knew he wouldn’t be a match for Yuto with no chakra to support him, so Kazaharku managed to take the scroll from Yuto and with his last words being, “All for Kumogakure.” Kazaharku activated the paper bombs in his weapon pouch, and caused them to explode. The explosion killed him and destroyed the sacred scroll to prevent Yuto from handing it over to his village.

Years later, Yuto said, that he had become so obsessed with the dojutsu that he had to have it. He infiltrated his village’s mission archives, and found an older case similar to his. The description read that a shinobi from Kumogakure possessed a dojutsu named, “Tenraigan.” He did more research and read that it was a rare technique that only awakened when a Kumori member proved himself worthy to, “Denkou no Tenshu” (Literally meaning, “God of Shadows”). He continued to explain that he had broken the laws of his village by reading those files. He fled his village that night and went to Kumogakure in search of it. However, he did not find it. He killed the remaining Kumori out of anger for not finding it, and then set their residential building on fire just as he did to Ikazuchi's Home.

Thats when i recived a tip from one of the clan members that there was a lost boy who lived in konoha and that boy is you.Yuto wanted to kill Ikazuchi as well, but he knew that Ikazuchi was Kazaharku's offspring because Ikazuchi looked exactly like his father, so it was very obvious that he was the most likely candidate to inherit it. Yuto could sense the contained potential in Ikazuchi, just waiting to be unleashed. Ikazuchi was Yuto’s last hope for having Tenraigan, or so he thought. He was unaware that Lores Yasuto was away on a mission that night.

Ikazuchi couldn’t hold back any longer, so he tried to attack him, but it was all for nothing. As Ikazuchi ran toward him, Yuto quickly knocked Ikazuchi to the ground. He then told Ikazuchi to locate him when he inherited, “Tenraigan”, so that he could remove his eyes from him. With that said, Yuto fled as large groups of Konohagakure ninja started to gather close to the burning residence. With the exception of Ikazuchi, every member of the Kumori Clan was now dead or that is what he thougth.

The very next day, the Village moved Ikazuchi and Yasuto to a new home. It was smaller than their last, but it was all they had to live with. Every day after the Yuto had killed his family, and then set his home on fire, Ikazuchi spent training to become stronger, and hopefully strong enough to avenge his fallen clan. He was greatly motivated to never give up his dream of becoming stronger. Even when he grew tired, he remembered the motto of his clan, "Never give up." He just kept telling himself that, and his energy seemed to return.

Sometime after the fire, Ikazuchi returned to the burned ruins of his family’s building. It was then when he discovered that the fire revealed a door, that was once hidden, that led into an underground chamber. Inside of the chamber, was a large cabinet that stored files regarding information to about Ikazuchi and where he could find his clan.

Roleplay Sample:

0100 - Time Remaining: 1 hour

"Are the men in position?"

Crouched on one of Kumogakure's outer walls, a small contingent of men remained hidden within the shadows of the night; at their feet lay two of Kumogakure's finest, guards chosen to patrol that particular section. Each had been slain without any indication of blood, or broken bone; had someone stopped to examine their bodies, one might simply assume that they had simply given up living and passed on, so pristine were the corpses.

"As ordered, Zihark-sama (NPC). Our forces have taken out the outermost guards and the main body of the assault team has moved into position unseen. My squad has already set out across the city, headed towards their target."

The man who had spoken looked not towards his commanding officer; rather, he simply stared out across Kumogakure, his eyes set on a tall building rising above the rest of the city. Keen eyes and prior information regarding their path allowed him to spot a trio of shadows making their way towards the tall building. Smiling slightly, he turned his gaze towards his commander, parting his silver hair with one lazy, armored hand, to better study the man with his crimson eyes. Zihark remained cloaked in shadows; the massive man seemed to have a gift for remaining hidden, despite his size.

"Excellent. Shinnoujou (NPC), you know what to do. One hour, and then begin the assault."

"As you wish."

0200 - The Beginning

Yama stirred slightly, one hand falling free of his bed to trail against the floor below. He had always been a restless sleeper, but once again assuming the role of Mizukage hadn't helped his situation any. It was a stressful job on the best of days, even if the shinobi world had been rather peaceful. The past few weeks had been spent on meetings and plotting, letting Kirigakure move closer towards his ultimate goal. The fact that he finally had a night of rest, rather than spending it meeting with a less-than-favorable crowd in one of Kumogakure's many holes of scum and villainy was a small miracle unto itself.

The sound of a creaking floorboard by the Mizukage's bed was the only warning before a massive blade descended from above, easily tearing through cloth and steel to cut clear through to the floorboards. The room was lit by a bright flash for the most fleeting of instants; the assassin's target had vanished in the moment before the blade met flesh. Another flash lit the room once more, revealing two more assassins, guarding door and window, and their target, who had appeared in the center of the room, a blazing golden blade in hand. With an easy motion, he tossed the blade towards the would-be killer by the bed; with an astounding force the blade stabbed through the man's back before carrying him into the wall, and stabbing through into the next room.

A faint sparking was the only indication before a bolt of lightning tore free from his right palm and incinerated the man guarding the door; a moment later the third, and most of the wall he had been standing by, were obliterated by an unseen force. Stepping towards the large opening his assault had opened, Yama paused to watch the man plummet through open air before finally meeting the ground below, before looking out across the city. Everything seemed peaceful; perhaps the assassins had been aimed at but a single-

With an astounding boom, the skyline seemed to burst into flames; as far as he could see, Kumogakure's outer wall has simply vanished, consumed by a massive ring of explosions in an instant. Already the fire was spreading; the screams of those who had been caught withing the flames as it spread to the residential districts could be heard piercing the night. "They've started already, humph... My plans have finally been set into motion."
