Madara bio, 15 meters away from the Bijuu.
As Madara prepared to enter the barrier, he heard a loud screeching noise as the Bijuu rushed forward. Sensing the gigantic behemoth approaching, Madara prepared his counter as he summoned his staff to his right hand, suppressing the Bijuu’s Presence and drawing the Gunbai into his left hand as he heard a voice speaking towards him. Turning his head, he noticed someone approaching with a staff in hand. He sensed the Relic Core with him and thought it must have been the person Lucifer informed him about. Scoffing, Madara turned his head back towards the Bijuu. Though he didn’t need the help, Madara wasn’t too vain to receive the assistance. As the Bijuu screamed and released a massive shockwave, Madara stepped forward as Akujin exited the barrier. Swinging the gunbai out in front of him as he walked, Madara quickly absorbed the force of the shockwave despite it’s heavy strength. Meanwhile, Merlin quickly enters Sage Mode at the same time instantly and forms a few short seals as he creates several gigantic hands around the Bijuu in an attempt to crash into him.
As this happens, Akuryo begins to watch the Tailed Beast as Akujin moves 5 meters to Madara’s right. During this, Madara releases the massive fox of pure Bijuu chakra, causing it to rush forward towards the Bijuu in an attempt to slam into it should it evade the Wood Hands.
( Mokuton Sennin Modo ) - Wood Sage Mode
Type: Mode
Rank: S
Range: N/a
Chakra cost: N/A ( -10 turn to sustain )
Damage Points: Active + 30 damage to all ninjutsu and taijutsu up to S rank
Description: An empowered state of body achieved by blending natural energy with one’s physical and spiritual energy. The mode heightens performance on all levels by adding a new dimension of power to the user’s chakra. The state is a direct result of Senjutsu chakra circulating through the body. To enter this form, a minimum of 10% of the user’s maximum chakra reserve must be moulded into Senjutsu chakra, all subsequent techniques employ Senjutsu chakra until the minimum cost (-15/turn) cannot be paid to sustain the mode. The user is resistant to damage, reducing 30 damage from all techniques and can heal (for 10 damage per turn), for the duration of this technique. The user is able to passively sense chakra and his/her perception and reflexes are enhanced by x4. Their ninjutsu and strength increases, empowering taijutsu and other close range physical combat techniques by +30. Lastly but most importantly, the user’s ability to combat Bijuu Techniques as well as Tailed Beast themselves. This is shown by allowing his techniques to be capable of combatting Bijuu techniques with an additional 20 damage as well as absorb Bijuu chakra at heightened levels, effectively weakening. When interacting with Bijuu directly, the user becomes capable of absorbing 1.5x the amount of chakra normally from them via Wood canon techniques. The user also becomes capable of using (Kakuan Nitten Suishu) - Tenth Edict On Enlightenment through his other Wood Jutsu, removing the need to surround the targets with pillars and instead wrap around the targets and restrain them for a turn. Should they be unable to break the restraints, the Bijuu or Jinchuriki will have their state reverted. Unlike other variations of Sage mode, Wood release and its natural affinity towards Natural energy allows the user to gather natural energy more easily. While meditating the user is able to use Ninjutsu up to Brank of Wood release and its components. However, only techniques that employ shape manipulation can be used and the rate of conversion between Chakra and Senjutsu Chakra is 5% per turn (Sage mode activates at 10% reserve, requires uninterrupted meditation). The user can continue to use this ability once he enters Sage mode, to extend the duration but his techniques are not empowered.
Note: Usable thrice per battle by Perfect Sages only. Must wait 1 turn before using this technique again.
Note: This variation of Sage mode can only be used by Senju Hashirama or Uchiha Madara.
Note: Perfect Sages can convert a maximum of 40% of their total chakra reserve.

( Fuuinjutsu: Inari ) - Sealing Arts: Inari
Type: Offensive/Defensive
Rank: A - S
Range: Short - Long
Chakra: 30 - 50
Damage: N/A (Depends on the absorbed technique) = 140 Damage
Description: Based on the Uchiha Return ability of the Uchiwa Gunbai, Jurojin as well as the Hachiman jutsu, the user first absorbs chakra into his gunbai. Upon absorbing this chakra, the user channels chakra of his own into the gunbai, equal to that he absorbed. This is done in preparation for the second half of the jutsu. Upon doing this, the user will swing his gunbai, releasing the absorbed chakra in the form of a large fox created from the chakra absorbed. This doesn't mean that the opponent will be able to control or utilize this chakra, however; it simply means that the type of chakra used will be of that the user absorbed ( i.e. if the user absorbs a mass of Scorch chakra, then the chakra released will imitate the properties of Scorch. This is achieved via a seal located on the barrier, marked with the Kanjis "Sustain" and "Release". How this works is when chakra is absorbed with the Uchiwa Gunbai jutsu or other gunbai absorption jutsu, the "Sustain" seal can be passively activated to allow the user to maintain the absorbed chakra in it's natural state instead of automatically converting it to raw chakra like usual. However, should this passive activation occur, the user is unable to utilize the chakra in jutsu, such as the Uchiwa Gunbai or it's variants unless specifically noted. As this passive activation occurs, the user releases chakra of his own equaling that of the absorbed jutsu to both trigger the absorbed jutsu as well as activate the "release" seal. This causes the released jutsu to take on the shape of an up to 15 meter tall fox and the properties of the absorbed chakra and it's inherent effects, including augmented effects it may have had when absorbed. Due to the user's chakra mixing with the opponent's in the various seals this allows the user to cause the absorbed chakra to be harmful to the original target, even if normally immune to it. This doesn't change the overall power nor S/W of said chakra, however. It will be released at the same power it originally had, only difference is the fox appearance and harmful aspect of it.
Note: Follows the same restrictions of the original Uchiwa Gunbai jutsu. The user is able to use the Gunbai to control it's movements or allow it to have enough sentience to attack for him and think for itself in this regard.
Note: S rank and above variants can only be used once every 4 turns for a collective 3 usage max.
Note: A ranked variants can be used to absorb jutsu lower than A rank in power as well as A ranks once every two turns.

(Kuniumi) – Birth of an Empire Strength of the Ten-Tails Tier, Primordial Salt Sea and Ancient Wisdom Tier II/Chaos Tier I
( Ame-no-Ohabari ) ♆ High Heaven
( Gunbai Uchiwa) - Army Arrangement Fan
(Kuniumi) – Birth of an Empire Strength of the Ten-Tails Tier, Primordial Salt Sea and Ancient Wisdom Tier II/Chaos Tier I
Type: Relic Weapon
Rank: Forbidden
Range: N/A
Chakra: N/A
Damage: N/A
Description: Forged in the flames of primordial creation, Kuniumi is a staff crafted from a combination of the bones of Tiamat, segments of the God Tree, and splinters of a meteorite that fell to the earth centuries ago. The staff is twisted at the top, curling around itself and branching out into three segments, with each segment hollowed out to openly display swirling black and white energies within. Throughout the staff shards of the Fallen Star can be seen. The staff is bound to the Zero Seal, and can be summoned to the user or sealed away passively at their discretion; as a weapon of the Zero Seal, it signifies the user’s position as the Master of the Akatsuki, granting them authority over the organization. The union of the Juubi and Tiamat represent two pillars of creation; a union of Chakra and Primordial Life. Among the ten relic weapons, Kuniumi stands among them as the strongest.
Inherent Ability: Primordial Presence
The wielder of Kuniumi commands the strongest connection to the Primordial Salt Sea and the God of Chakra, and thus a connection to the Void itself. When in the physical presence of artificial life, more specifically that of an unsealed Bijū, the Fallen Star within Kuniumi suppresses their abilities at progressively greater rates. Every turn the target will lose 50 chakra, doubling each turn thereafter. Their damage output will be reduced by 5 points, doubling every turn thereafter indefinitely. As a byproduct of the staff’s origins, the wielder also possesses an innate connection with all Weapon Core holders, as well as the Relic Weapon wielders, enabling them to sense their physical location even across dimensions.
Intrinsic Traits:
Ancient Wisdom (I-III): Affords the user access to ancient wisdom stored within the bones of the staff. Allows the user to 1/2/3 times per battle understand the nature and inner workings of any technique and improve their counter to it by an effective 10/20/30 damage. This does not count toward one of the user’s two boosts or debuffs.
Primordial Salt Sea (I-III): The user’s innate connection to the Void empowers them. They gain an innate 20% Insanity Resistance, and enjoy an increased 20/30/40 health points.
Strength of the Ten-Tails (I-III): The physical body of the Juubi present in the staff synchronizes with the user’s body, enhancing their ability to wield Kuniumi as if it was an extension of themselves. Bukijutsu performed with the staff have their damage increased by 10/20/30. When strikes are made by the staff it inflicts 60/80/100 damage at the cost of a move. When striking an enemy directly, either a clone, Creation, or opponent, the user’s staff drains a small amount of chakra in momentary contact, draining 20/40/60 per instance.
Chaos (I-II): Crafted in the depths of the Sunlit Forge, Kuniumi is the strongest of the ten Relic Weapons. It has an innate connection to the Juubi and Tiamat, granting its wielder access to a resource called Chaos, which comes from the Void itself. Chaos is a passive skill that fuels many of Kuniumi’s abilities in its branches. At Tier I the user’s Chaos can be accumulated up to ten points. One point of Chaos is awarded passively per turn, as well as when the user uses the staff to destroy or counter opposing techniques, or when the user strikes another living target with the staff and saps their chakra. When the user unlocks Tier II of Chaos, their passive accumulation of Chaos doubles and they can hold up to fifteen points. Techniques fueled by Chaos are typically void of chakra, unless specifically stated otherwise.
The user is able to expend their Chaos on various abilities throughout the three branches of Birth of an Empire or they can summon Mushussu. Mushussu was Marduk's dragon, dragged into the Void during the Great War and now bound to the Birth of an Empire. Summoning Mushussu can be done with a minimum of 3 Chaos, though he grows stronger for each point invested thereafter; Mushussu's base stats, with 3 Chaos, is 60 Health Points, 800 Chakra, and 12 base movement speed. Each point of Chaos invested thereafter increases his Health Points by an additional 10, Chakra by an additional 100, and movement speed by an additional .5. Mushussu is capable of using Fire Release, neutral to all elements and used with the user's own custom techniques, without hand seals and, if summoned with fifteen Chaos, reduces all physical and spiritual damage done to him by 50 points. While on the field Mushussu empowers the user's Stolen Blessing, Chaotic Infusion, or Void Intensity depending on the branch of Birth of an Empire they pursue. [/FONT]

Striking Darkness (A-Rank, active): At the cost of an additional move the user is able to activate Striking Darkness in the same timeframe with any Bukijutsu that the user is going to use. The user can consume Void Infusions through this technique, creating a shield around their body that protects them from any physical damage while using this Bukijutsu technique. The shield’s health value is determined by the number of Void Infusions consumed, 40 health points for each and 2 per point of Chaos. Can be used once every four turns.
Cosmic Energy (S-Rank, passive): Whenever Void Intensity activates the user has a 50% chance to double the number of Void Infusions gained from it. Passively increases the number of Void Infusions the user is able to hold by 1.
Cosmology (S-Rank, passive): Any target, living or technique, neutralized or overpowered with the Strength of the Ten-Tails causes a short-range explosion that does not harm the user. The explosion’s damage is determined by the number of Void Infusions the user currently holds; damage is increased by 30 per Void Infusion, and by 5 per point of Chaos. The explosion is elementally neutral, appears as a purple torrent of light, and effectively contains 60 chakra.
Abzu’s Insight (F-Rank, active/passive): Enables the user to active Ancient Wisdom in the same timeframe as Strength of the Ten-Tails, and allows the user to target Ancient Wisdom at opponents rather than just techniques. For each Void Infusion and point of Chaos the user has, the damage or the counter-attack boost of Ancient Wisdom is increased by 2 points. Can be used twice per battle. [/INDENT]

Cosmology (S-Rank, passive): Any target, living or technique, neutralized or overpowered with the Strength of the Ten-Tails causes a short-range explosion that does not harm the user. The explosion’s damage is determined by the number of Void Infusions the user currently holds; damage is increased by 30 per Void Infusion, and by 5 per point of Chaos. The explosion is elementally neutral, appears as a purple torrent of light, and effectively contains 60 chakra.
Abzu’s Insight (F-Rank, active/passive): Enables the user to active Ancient Wisdom in the same timeframe as Strength of the Ten-Tails, and allows the user to target Ancient Wisdom at opponents rather than just techniques. For each Void Infusion and point of Chaos the user has, the damage or the counter-attack boost of Ancient Wisdom is increased by 2 points. Can be used twice per battle. [/INDENT]

Description: A weapon of divine right, Ame-no-Ohabari, or Ame no Ohabari, is a legendary Totsuka-no-Tsurugi blade. Based on the fabled blade used by Izanagi to cut Kagutsuchi, what makes this sword so unique is the method of it's creation as well as it's abilities and not just the latter like with most weapons. Formed by the user first drawing Corundum chakra. Corundum itself has a crystalline structure, allowing the user to make blades that are incredibly and unusually sharp, making a blade that is often described as capable of cutting through anything, although that is just stories that has grown from it's use. In actuality, the Corundum blade is as thin as a millimeter. However, this isn't the entirety of the process; when mixing the Corundum chakra to create the blade, the user also applies Divine Wind chakra to the sword as he creates it, causing the incredibly sharp black blade to have Divine Wind properties as well, predominantly showed as an emanating heat wave like manifestation of Divine Wind around the blade, effectively coating it with the properties of the element. Due to this unique composition of the two elements, it effectively negates the weaknesses of the elements, making it neutral to all elemental attacks. This is the most basic ability of the sword itself, called Body of Kagutsuchi, it allows the user to utilize Corundum jutsu (created from the sword) with neutrality to their original weaknesses. In addition to this neutralizing effect, the user is also capable of using the blade to channel energy through it, namely elements and advanced elements such as Fire, Lightning and energy based KG/CE that is formed from any of the energy elements that create Corundum and Divine Wind ( Wind, Lightning, Fire ).
The Ame-no-Ohabari has a second set of active abilities called the Blood of Kagutsuchi. These abilities are that the user is capable of using it as a source for either Corundum or Divine Wind jutsu. However, he is only able to do this once every four turns. Using the sword as a source allows the user to release said elemental attacks with increased damage, boosting it +20 damage as well as utilizing them without handseals if used in conjunction with the sword. The user is also capable of releasing streams of Divine Wind from the sword with power up to A rank, creating what can be likened to Chidori Spear, only made by Divine Wind.
Note: The neutralizing ability of Ame-no-Ohabari, named Body of Kagutsuchi, is it's natural, passive ability; present at all times due to it's composition, it requires no additional chakra to utilize.
Note: Blood of Kagutsuchi requires the user to spend 10 chakra each usage of the elements from the blade. The ability to release streams of Divine Wind also requires 30 chakra to utilize.
Note: A rank streams of Divine Wind can be utilized once every 2 turns.
Note: Counts as a CEJ for both Divine Wind and Corundum CEs as well as the official CW slot.

Description: The legendary war fan of Uchiha Madara, the Gunbai Uchiwa is a wide fan weapon with a tomoe pattern on it, a long handle with bandages wrapped around the base and a long chain attached to it. The gunbai is very resilient, being virtually indestructible. Its edges are somewhat shart and its large size makes it ideal for defensive purposes. Additionally, the user can channel chakra into it while swinging it. By doing so, massive blasts of unfocused wind can be released with varying power from C-Rank to A-Rank, depending on the users chakra input. The range of the blast increases with its power (C-Rank Short Range; B-Rank Mid-Range; A-Rank Long Range). Additionally, it can be used to perform some unique and powerful techniques such as (Uchihagaeshi) Uchiha's Return.
Note: The wind ability counts as a move.

Description: Izanami’s Curse is a compound bow crafted from the bones of Tiamat. At the recurve and the notch are two small crystalline orbs, each flickering with black and white energies within them representative of a fully powered weapon core. The bow is bound to the North Seal and can be summoned to the user or sealed passively at their discretion. Unique to Izanami’s Curse, the bow produces arrows through the user’s spiritual energies, siphoned passively, as they pull the drawstring back. Baseline, the bow can be used in two ways; the first is freeform firing of arrows. The second method, at the cost of a move, fires arrows with inherent damage which is a function of the distance to the bow’s target. In short range arrows inflict 20 damage, in mid-range they inflict 40, and at long-range they inflict 80 damage.
Intrinsic Traits:
Archer’s Tempo (I-III): Enhances the user’s ability to draw and release arrows from the bow with greater dexterity in short-range. Increases draw speed by 1.5x/2x/2.5x of the user’s base speed.
Tempered Fletching (I-III): Heat treated metal arrow tips formed from the user’s spiritual energy. Increases damage of the arrows fired based on the distance from the target. Bonus +10/20/30 damage when the user is in long-range from their target, half bonus when in mid-range.
High-Tension String (I-III): A tightly bound bowstring that allows the user to launch arrows with remarkable speed in close-quarters. Increases the speed of arrows by two times the speed of an A/S/F ranked Lightning technique.
Spirit-Tipped Arrows (A-Rank, passive): Izanami’s Curse arrow tips draw on the user’s spiritual energy when fletched and imbues them with a parasitic curse. The arrow tips feast on chakra and, when they strike an opponent or their techniques, release spiritual energy which will tether to the opponent. Breaking this tether naturally requires a surge of 30 chakra, minimum, and awareness of it in the first place. Intrinsically this achieves nothing until the wielder unlocks one of the three branches.
Predator’s Guile
The wind, the target, the arrow. Alters the appearance of Izanami’s Curse to that of a longbow.
Hunter’s Instinct (B-Rank, passive): The Spirit-Tipped Arrows of Izanami’s Curse are enhanced to create a spiritual binding between user and victim. The user becomes able to sense the spiritual position and status of their victim, even across dimensions. This form of awareness supersedes any sensory suppression or negation. Unlocked with Predator’s Guile.
Windflight Arrows (A-Rank, active): Actively augments the user’s arrows with their Wind chakra, allowing them to pass through the air with a greater level of control. Allows the user to control the movement of released arrows for the turn after they are released. Can be done simultaneously as other techniques. Can only be used once every four turns.
Bullseye (S-Rank, passive): The user’s arrows are augmented to inflict 100% additional critical damage.
Patience and Time (S-Rank, passive): Upon actively firing an arrow from Izanami’s Curse the user will erase their physical presence as a passive result from firing the arrow. This invisibility is the equivalent of Muu’s Hiding with Camouflage. Lasts for two turns or until broken by offensive or defensive action. Can only be activated once every three turns.
Cyclonic Burst (F-Rank, active): Actively allows the user to unleash devastation within short-range of their position when releasing an arrow. Once the drawstring is released a natural burst of wind rips outward from the user’s position at three times the user’s base speed, making this a potent defensive ability inflicting 100 damage. Can be used twice, once per three turns.
Elemental Archer
Tried and true. Alters the appearance of Izanami’s Curse to that of a short-bow with bladed ends suitable for melee weapon use, including for Bukijutsu based techniques within reason.
Lightning Strike (B-Rank, active): Activated for a period of three turns. Imbues the arrow tips with the user’s lightning chakra; one turn after impact, should an arrow tip remain on the battlefield after clashing with an opponent’s technique or striking a solid target, causes it to detonate in a torrential blast of lightning that echoes the damage of the original arrow.
Pathfinding (A-Rank, active and passive): Passively increases the user’s base speed by +2 levels. Stacks with other sources of base speed augmentations. This passive increase can be increased to a 3x speed enhancement for two turns after releasing Izanami’s drawstring, as well as granting the user the ability to use a type of Flicker Evasion for its duration. The speed increase remains deactivated for a period of five turns after this effect ends. Can be used twice per battle.
Elemental Fury (S-Rank, active): Elemental arrows. Arrow tips are augmented with an elemental nature of the user’s choosing. Detonates with the chosen elemental nature upon impact, up to mid-range in radius. Usable once every other turn.
Elemental Ensnarement (S-Rank, active): Active enhancement of the user’s Spirit-Tipped Arrows. When activated the user taps into the spiritual binding between them and their opponent, allowing them to cast an elemental illusion of their choosing requiring a surge of at least fifty chakra to escape from. Note that this surge does not allow the opponent to shatter the spiritual tether itself, only the illusion, unless it exceeds 80 chakra.
Marked Target (F-Rank, passive): Passively augments the user’s Spirit-Tipped Arrows and their tether to increase all elemental damage the target takes by 50%. Elemental Fury augmented arrows bind through the Spirit-Tip, causing the target to have the element applied to the arrow sealed from usage unless the Spirit-Tip is dispelled.
Spiritual Assassin
Chilling and silent. Alters the appearance of Izanami’s Curse to that of a smooth recurve bow.
Metaphysical Bleed (B-Rank, passive): Modifies the Spirit-Tipped Arrows to cause a metaphysical spiritual bleeding effect. While an enemy is under the effect of the arrows, they suffer -10 health per turn until cured.
Chilled Fletching (A-Rank, active): Enhances the Tempered Fletching of the arrows and Spirit-Tips for a single arrow, causing those effected by Spirit-Tips to have their current movement speed reduced by 40%. Can be used every two turns.
Doppelganger (S-Rank, active): After releasing Izanami’s drawstring, the user actively creates a spiritual doppleganger of themselves while rendering themselves spiritually intangible, in a sense becoming similar to that of a Limbo clone. In this state the user is unable to interact with anything considered ‘physical,’ anything within a state of not being spiritual. The user can be detected through means of spiritual detection, and can be interacted with through spiritual-based techniques. Can be used twice per battle, and lasts for two turns. While in a spiritual state the user is unable to use techniques unless they end use of Doppleganger.
Overwhelming Spirit (S-Rank, passive): Empowers the Spirit-Tipped Arrows, increasing the chakra surge requirement to break free from them from 30 to 40.
Spiritual Shattering (F-Rank, passive and active): Passively modifies Izanami’s Spiritual-Tipped Arrows to stack indefinitely with themselves. This does not allow Metaphysical Bleed to stack its damage. Upon reaching six established spiritual tethers, the user is able to actively achieve a Spiritual Shattering. Through a massive infusion of spiritual energy the user disrupts their victim’s balance; the victim suffers from 120 damage, -30 health per turn until cured, -75% of their current movement speed, and reduces the damage of all of their techniques by 50%.

Description: The Staff of Selection, 選定 五線, is a harrowed variant of Merlin’s own staff anchored to reality by the Void Tree. It was retrieved at the end of Merlin’s expedition into Kamiyasumi where Merlin was pulled into the Void and trapped in the Reverse Side of the World. It is a large staff measuring at about two meters in length; it resembles a crook, the head of the staff being carved to create a crest resembling the sprawling roots of a tree. Unlike the original, this harrowed version closely resembles the Void Tree. Its wood is ashen and somewhat cracked with traces of red veins running up and down its length. The staff has a unique connection with the Void Tree and the Reverse Side of the World, acting as a conduit to bridge the outer plane with reality and allow Merlin to freely project himself from his prison into the world. Passively, the Staff of Selection’s harrowed energies permeate into Merlin’s Wood Release techniques causing them to gain an increase of 30 additional damage. Visually this transforms the appearance of his standard Wood Release to mimic that of the Void Tree and the Staff itself. The wood of the Void Tree also moves faster than regular Wood Release, causing all of Merlin’s Wood techniques to gain an additional two base speed levels.
Tandoku Kengen (lit. 単独顕現, “Independent Manifestation”): The Staff of Selection’s connection to the Reverse Side of the World grants its wielder the ability to independently manifest within reality. It allows Merlin to project himself outside of his prison and into the world, effectively existing within two planes simultaneously. Merlin is able to use Independent Manifestation to transport his projection back to the Reverse Side of the World and anywhere he pleases, following Ninja World spacetime rules. Merlin’s projection is a flesh and blood representation of himself; it can be killed and interacted with as any would be normally. Genetic material can be harvested from it should the user agree to death in the Ninja World. If the projection is knocked out then it needs to regenerate as a normal biography would as well. Teleportation with Independent Manifestation can be done twice per battle, once every seven turns.
Kūsōju Shīdo (lit. 空想樹, “Fantasy Tree Seed”): The Fantasy Tree Seed draws upon the Void Tree to launch up to two large seeds from the Staff that are roughly the size of a melon but with clearly defined geometric shapes. As a basic projectile attack these Seeds strike targets for 100 physical damage, following splitting rules, and, unlike basic Wood Release, are strong to all elemental natures with the exception of Anutu and its subcomponents. After four turns, if they are not destroyed, these seeds mature into small human-sized Fantasy Trees that can be used as a source to manipulate and control for other Wood Release techniques. This can be used five times per battle.
Eiyū Sakusei (lit. 英雄作成, “Hero Creation”): Centuries ago during the age of Camelot Merlin was regarded as a “Kingmaker.” Merlin is able to draw upon the Staff of Selection to temporarily crown another, just as he did with Arthur. This is not simply a technique that strengthens another target; it is in effect reaching across the cosmos through the Void Tree to other worlds and realities where that individual is far more important or powerful than in our own and combining their beings. Upon activation the user will boost two fields the target possesses causing them to gain an additional 30 damage and 10 Chakra. It lasts for three turns. The base speed of the techniques within that field is increased by an additional three levels. Targets influenced by Hero Creation gain a red aura around their body. Hero Creation can be used three times per battle, once every five turns.
