(Ninpo: Tan'ya) - Ninja Art: Metalsmith
Type: Supplementary
Rank: B
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra cost: 20 (+5 each reformation)
Damage points: N/A
Description: The user simply needs to make physical contact for this technique to function. By touching a weapon, the user is able to insert chakra into the object. By doing so, the user is freely able to manipulate the weapon’s size. This can be used on both held weapons (such as katanas, kunai, staffs, etc.) and thrown weapons (kunai, shuriken, senbon, etc.) The user is able to change the shape of any weapon-type object up to any size, following logic and reasoning. A small weapon such as a shuriken can be increased to the size of a windmill shuriken, or reduced to the size of a single marble. If thrown, the user is continually able to freely change the object’s size, expending another 5 chakra, but cannot alter its path or anything of the like. This technique is based upon the less advanced version, "Ninja Art: Giant Shuriken Technique." After this technique ends, any altered objects will revert back to their original size at their current location.
- Usable four times per battle
- Effects last two turns

Hebi Kuchiyose: Sentaku-shu | Snake Summoning: Selective Species, Crotalinae: The Pitvipers
Show
Type: Supplementary/Defensive
Rank: D-S
Range: N/A
Chakra Cost: 10-40 (Depends on rank of summons)
Damage Points: N/A
Description:
The Crotalinae are a selective species of snake summonings which were bred and assigned only to the greater of the snake contract signers. These species of Snake summonings specifically had evolved over time to have harder, more adaptable scales covering their body and an enhanced pit organ that naturally heightened their abilities to sense. This heightened sensing used through the pit organ seemingly was developed not only for predatory reasons but also for defensive measures against other predators. The sensing was exactly like the basics of any other snake, just taken to a higher level. Meaning they could sense minute vibrations up to a certain distance around them and even had an infrared optic map of the world before them. Typically, most snakes of the Crotalinae subfamily had natural infrared maps overlaid through their optic tectum, but with the Selective species being bred into existence it was heightened to the point of even being able to put this to use in the pitch black and in the darkest of times. The facial pit actually visualizes thermal radiation using the same optical principles as a pinhole camera, wherein the location of a source of thermal radiation/heat is determined by the location of the radiation on the membrane of the heat pit. The resolution on the infrared mapping through the heat pits has a very high resolution, which in turn allows the snakes to sense different levels of heat and cooler areas in extreme detail. Besides the sensing, their scales made for a greater form of defense, allowing them to survive harsher conditions and more damage than an average snake summoning. Not only were the scales on Crotalinae found to be more thicker and tougher than average, but they also held a passive ability to blend in with their environment by changing colors and becoming camouflaged. This coupled with their sensing made them very dangerous predators that were even able to escape other predator's perception if they didn't have some higher form of tracking or sensing.
Note: Must be posted within the bio or in the beginning of a fight.
Note: The Crotalinae Species can be summoned as generic snakes like the ones summoned in techniques such as: Summoning Technique: Giant Snakes, Summoning Technique: Three Headed Snakes, or Just the normal generic summoning technique, though instead of being normal snakes, they'd be of the Crotalinae subfamily. They won't take the place of those techniques, instead the user uses the generic summoning technique to summon Crotalinae, having to post this technique along with it but not costing an extra move.
Note: The sensing of minute vibrations and infrared mapping spans as far as an 100m radius, with larger snakes being able to sense the furthest due to their larger pit organs. Snakes under 40m in length can only sense up to 50m whole anything bigger can sense up to the maximum reach.
Note: The evolved scales allow the Crotalinae Species to take up to 20 more damage than average snake summonings of their rank. This is due to the thickness and tougher nature of the scaling covering the Crotalinae.
