[KG] Sand Release with Kamishiro
- Thread starter Notch
- Start date
There are two ways we can do this training, either RP based where I will RP with a canon Gaara bio, or a basic, straight-forward training where we go from the explanation to techniques and whatnot without RP, it is up to you.
Sand release is a versatile KG that was introduced in the series by Gaara; it can be used for a large variety of things in both battling and RPing outside of battles. Part of what drew me to Sand was the large amount of canon techniques available, and how flexible they are when it comes to the imagination, along with the huge custom making potential that comes along with it. It's weak against water, and strong against earth and fire.
Alright, while not much explanation presented, I like that you said your reasoning behind wanting the KG, which is good enough for me.
Sand is a really flexible element in the RP, you can use it to disguise, defend, attack or supplement yourself. There is little you can't do with Sand. One thing you got wrong, however, is that Sand is a KG. Sand is more or less a special element that a lot of Sunagakure shinbois were able to manipulate and use for their aid, although the only usage character with sand is Gaara on NB. It only requires infusing the sand with chakra and further manipulating it, you don't create your sand. In the anime, Gaara either used the sand on the terrain or from his gourd, or if he wanted to create sand, he would use the sand he already controlled to crush the soil and create more sand, although this new sand would be more hard to manipulate as it isn't pure sand, but that doesn't have any impact really on the RP.
Now, I want you to name me your three favourite techniques. Could be the favorite ones you have seen in the anime or just techniques you think will be the most beneficial for you.

Nice choices you have there. I have asked you to give me your three favorite techniques because that means these techniques will be the most techniques you use in combats, but that means that you will usually ignore the rest unless you are trying a new combo or just feeling fresh. We will start from the D-ranks as usual, but we will learn how each one of them will give us a similar result to one of the above techniques. You have chosen one defensive, one sensory and the greater sand technique that can be used in for all purposes, therefore for each technique we will see what type it is and what of the above can it give us.
So the first technique is the infamous Third Eye. You can use Third eye to obtain a similar outcome as the sensory sand technique, although they two may be really different. Third eye's main function may function is spying in NW where you can be in a place, but create it in a completely different place to have an eye on what is happening over there, however, that doesn't mean it can't be used in combat. It actually can be really useful in combat. You can create the third eye behind you in case your opponent tries to hide and attack you from your blind spot, which will grant you 360 degree view over the field. In my opinion it can function as good as sensory sand, however, it has one disadvantage that makes sensory sand superior to it. Whenever you seek to use it, you will have to close one of your eyes, but that isn't that bad, however, you will have to close that eye with your fingers as shown by gaara, which may hinders you in case you want technique that uses handseals, so I would stick to handseal-less techniques while using it, otherwise, it is a great technique. What I want you to do is to manipulate your sand by infusing your chakra with it, and focus a small amount of it in a specific spot in the air. The conjunction of the grains of sand will cause the formation of the eye which will only open up when you close your eye as I said before.

This other technique is the smaller version of Greater Sand technique where it has a lesser rank and and closer range, however, you spend less chakra and since it requires much less sand, it is much quicker, so you can use this for quick attacks or diversions. It is pretty straight forward, just infuse your sand with your chakra to take control over it and send small waves of sand towards your opponent, it wouldn't really do much damage expect from pushing your opponent backwards to get him off balance and maybe do some bruises, but it's function is for diversion and small attacks as I said, so we don't really seek much damage from it. You can also use the sand to make a small shield to protect you from weak techniques (D-rank following elemental strength and weaknesses) as well as ninja tools.

Placing my hand over my right eye, I focus a minute amount of my sand and chakra to a precise point directly behind, on my blind spot. Feeling the sand and chakra begin to coagulate into the point I willed it into, an eye of sand manifests suddenly. I take a minute to adjust to the strange sensation of being able to see behind oneself, before I deactivate the technique.
Questions: The technique description doesn't state anything that implies one needs to physically use their hand to cover their eye, just that they have to close it. Are you certain that a hand needs to be used to cover one eye even if it's already closed? Also, I noticed the range says short to long; does this refer to how far the eye can see, or how far away I can create the eye from my person? If it's the latter, then the last sentence of the technique description seems to contradict the range it's given.
Standing short ranged from a target, I manipulate the sand from my gourd in order to release a small wave of sand that strikes the target, dealing minor damage.
No questions for this one.

To be honest, I am basing it on the anime, Gaara was never seen using this technique without placing two finger tips on his closed eye, the technique doesn't indeed state anything about a hand, but since it was the only way it was shown in the anime, I would say it is the way to go. You can further confirm with Scorps as he is the creator of such techniques. And the short to long range is to how far you can create your eye, you can create it right next to you or far from you, in long range. The 20/20 is the field of vision.

These two are really similar so I will do them in one bunch, the first one you simply manipulate the sand below your opponent in order to create a spinning pillar that would rise up from below your opponent and launch him in the air, while inflicting a slight damage to his lower body. And the second one is basically the same, expect you can create more than one pillar and they don't spin. The only noticeable difference, however, is that since you can make more than one pillar, you can attack more than one target, but the damage would be divided on the number, making the damage not even worth mentioning, so keep that in mind.

These clones are way different than normal clones, in case you have learnt those. These clones are basically a sand version of the basic ninjutsu clones that you have learnt in the Academy, expect they can withstand more damage, they can reform after getting hit by a physical attack and they can function as diversion by throwing ninja tools or close combat attack. They can't be used for disguise since they are easily distinguishable from you. They can't use sand, though.

Apologies for the delay, but I'm fully active again.
I create a pillar of sand that sprouts up and uproots a moderately small sized portion of vegetation, before following up with the same procedure, only causing multiple plumes of sand to rise up from the air, pulling up more plant-life.
With the two techniques done, I move onto the other, and proceed to create two clones of sand to my and right; they have my appearance with the exception of a brown color that covers them.
Pretty much the above, along with the fact that it was used primarily by Sunagakure shinobi, albeit not on the same level of manipulation as Gaara or a "KG" custom sand user.

Alright we can continue with the analysis style. A performance, analysis and adv/disadv of the jutsu.
( Suna no Ryuusui ) – Stream of Sand
Type: Supplementary
Rank: C
Range: Short – Long
Chakra cost: 15
Damage points: N/A
Description: The user gathers sand below his opponents and makes them move away, creating a stream or like a continuous wave of sand to push the target in the desired direction. It is used to incapacitate the opponent without harm.

Fairly straightforward manipulate the sand underneath your target, moving them in a direction of your choosing.
I focus sand underneath the target while simultaneously releasing multiple shuriken to their left, manipulating the sand in such a way that it pushes them to their left as well, into the path of the shuriken.
Advantages: Great way to get a target to move into a certain direction forcefully, reaches up to long range and requires no hand seals.
Disadvantages: Easy for the target to discern, not really a threat unless it's being used as a setup to push the opponent into an attack or unfavorable position.

Well done, next technique.
( Suna Shuriken ) - Sand Shuriken
Focus your chakra and form several small spheres of sand and launch them at my clone. They will not pierce him if they hit rather only doing blunt force damage. They move quite quickly and you can even manipulate their direction while you concentrate on them.
( Suna Shuriken ) - Sand Shuriken
Type: Offensive
Rank: C
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: 30
Description: The user sends up to ten fast moving spheres of sand. They are not sharp, and hence cause merely blunt force damage such as fractures. They move faster than normal shuriken. The user can control the direction of these projectiles as long as they are focusing on this jutsu. Can be made from the ground or a pre-existing sand source.

I focus my sand chakra, manifesting three spheres of sand that head toward the clone with great force. The first two spheres of sand strike at the clone's head and chest, while the last one is manipulated to circle around and strike them in the middle of their back.
Advantages: No hand seals required and the spheres can be manipulated to change direction, making it more difficult to counter than simple linear attacks.
Disadvantages: Requires that the user give continuous focus to complete the technique.

Nicely done.
( Kanchiki Suna no Jutsu ) - Sensor Sand Technique
Quite a useful sand technique, surround yourself with a swirling mass of sand that spreads out over the battlefield. It will give you information on movement and enemy locations, good to use if you lack sensing or if the opponent is trying to hide from you.
