You're more than welcome.Thank you for agreeing to oversee my training in this field, @Sinthorus. I greatly appreciate it and look forward to your tutelage.
I am open to both RP and OOC oriented training, even a combination of both. Whatever best suits you at your own discretion.
Well, to start it was once exclusively recognized as being an ability based around that of the character Kakuzu, but has since been adapted into a broader recognition through the playerbase being allowed to adapt their own iterations of this same basis in their own characters. Earth Grudge Fear is less regarded as an element or ninjutsu and is more defined in the structure of the user's body, in that their form has become that of a series of stitched-together parts that are extensively intertwined by a series of dense, thread-like tendrils that manifest throughout the entirety of the user's body. These threads are under the user's control, allowing for them to freely manipulate and engage with their body in various liberties that would otherwise be seen as physically impossible for any ordinary individual, such as the separation of their limbs from the body and then to reattach them after the fact with no consequence, or to open up large chasms within the body only to be rethreaded shut after the fact with no indication of blood loss or harm to the user. This effectively converts the user into that of a "rag doll-like being" that is made for bodily interchangeability, such as the means to adapt new organs or limbs to the user's body from "other sources" on the fly, which effectively serves as a sort of "pseudo-immortality."
First of all, I have to clarify, EGF is actually a Kinjutsu. It's a forbidden technique. Kinjutu (Forbidden techniques) are known as this due to a couple of reasons. First of all, it can be cause of their detrimental harm or drawbacks from using them. Early on in the series, you see that Multi Shadow Clone technique is a kinjutsu as making too many clones can basically leave you completely wasted from chakra depletion. As the series progresses more techniques are seen as Kinjutsu, these are more due to their ungodly nature. There are some that raise the dead or others than some to circumvent death (Orochimaru a prime example). In this case, Kakuzu created a forbidden technique that is ungodly, taking the form of mass threads to allow him to procure the hearts of others to gain access to elements he wouldn't otherwise have had. It also allowed him to avoid death as when one heart was destroyed, he could replace it with another, preventing his permanent death until all were destroyed.
Understood, and that makes sense. So as far as these threads are concerned, how would you describe them in your own opinion in terms of categorically? Like, are they organic, inorganic, sentient, reproduceable or detectable by means of Dojutsu or other sensory methods? Do they or can they produce their own chakra in a way similar to that of say, a Custom Weapon can be made to through absorption and other means? Apart from this I have no further questions before continuing.
As far as I understand it, the are just chakra infused threads, only being organic if they form your body. After that just being a black solid. Any control of them needs chakra, so they can be sensed by chakra sensors or the chakra can be seen by doujutsu. Your last question I'm not sure I understand, but the threads themselves use your chakra, not generating their own, all of them are connected to you. You can apply fuuin to them etc to create absorption effects custom wise.
That's perfect, thank you for clarifying. The answer of being able to apply Fลซinjutsu-oriented seals and similar mechanics onto them to allow for absorption effects is what I was aiming to understand with that last question I had. Apologies if it was a little confusing with the way I asked it. Haha.
All good. Next we will go through the techniques. Feel free give a run down but mainly ask any questions you may have as we proceed. Not going in order, going to start with the most relevant:
As it's described in the technique itself, this would be the foundation and trademark skill for EGF. It functions primarily around the utilization on a broad scale relating to the Dark Threads themselves, of which is what is riddled throughout the user's body and acts as the binding agent for their body. Because of this, and as you pointed out earlier that these threads are infused with the user's chakra, the user is capable of otherwise impossible feats with their body such as reconstruction, repurposing and general manipulation that exceeds the natural bodily capacity. It's quite straight forward as far as techniques go in general.
Right, generally speaking, if an ability has been converted to the RP for custom bio use, it's fine to use those jutsu. While custom EGF became a thing, it's a lot of work to update every technique to state "Kakuzu and custom EGF bios". Some abilities have seen these updates others not so much. Sand is an AN now and a lot I believe say "Gaara will perform X handseals to". Almost all the sand jutsu list can be used by sand users with the AN just not stuff that is unique to Gaara. An example is his shield of sand. That is unique to him due to it being based on his mother's protection etc. In this case, you can use all the cannon dark threads techs as long as you meet the requirements to do so. He has a combination technique using certain elements, if you don't have those elements you wont be able to use them.
Understood, thank you for clarifying.
I'd assume it would have to be run by Drackos and have one of the sensei control an NPC for you to fight to make it more official. A heart is worth 2k, S rank missions give like 1.5k so even that doesn't equate realistically.
Bruh, you got Yang coming now, you about to have big numbies to overpower these with one jutsu. But on a serious note, due to the hearts they do act independently and you could probably make techniques like these for yourself.
With that your training of the cannon techniques is complete. Do you have any further questions about the ability? If not, congrats. Feel free to ask me about it any time.
