Spoiler

The battlefield sprawled beneath an overcast sky, a canvas of desolation where nature and war had interwoven their chaotic tapestry. Craters pockmarked the earth, silent testimony to the violent symphony of artillery and chakra that had played out here. The scent of burnt ozone lingered, blending with the metallic tang of blood-soaked soil.

The wind whispered through the skeletal remains of shattered trees, their gnarled branches reaching like skeletal fingers towards the heavens. Tattered flags, remnants of once-proud banners, flapped listlessly in the breeze, their colors muted by the weight of despair that hung in the air.

The ground, once fertile, now bore the scars of conflict – a labyrinth of trenches and foxholes, a desperate attempt to find refuge within the unforgiving landscape. Amidst the ruins of ancient structures, broken statues stood as solemn witnesses to a time when this place knew peace.

The distant rumble of thunder echoed the disquiet of the battlefield, reverberating through the air like the growl of an angered deity. The sky itself seemed to mourn, with heavy clouds casting shadows upon the scene below. A lone crow circled overhead, its caw a mournful dirge for the fallen.

In the midst of this desolation, a few resilient wildflowers pushed through the cracks in the hardened ground, their delicate petals an ironic contrast to the harsh reality surrounding them. As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows across the battlefield, the air became charged with a palpable tension – a silent prelude to the violence that would once again erupt upon this cursed ground.

I'll be utilizing Bayonetta in signature. Post bio and I'll start!

As the adversary sauntered into the battlezone, Bayonetta swiftly detected the foreign presence. The Umbra Witch's facial expression softened, not out of kindness, but due to the nostalgia that enveloped her. It marked the end of a self-imposed isolation, and the prospect of hunting stirred within her.

"Aww, you came all this way to greet me? I didn't even get you a gift... how rude of me," she mockingly allowed crocodile tears to flow. Simultaneously, a seal on her bosom triggered, infused with additional chakra. From it, Bayonetta conjured a quartet of handguns, her iconic weapons. With unwavering focus, she fixated her gaze on her opponent.

"Here's a token of my love," she declared, aiming her right hand and releasing a bullet of fire-based chakra. Infused with an additional burst, the witchfire enveloped the bullet. Bayonetta achieved this by consolidating all the chakra drawn by the handguns, channeling it into one to release the fiery projectile.

Having executed her move, Bayonetta waited and observed as her prey grappled with the illusion attached to the scent of the fiery bullet. Angelic maidens appeared, tending to the demon, lulling her into a deep slumber. The battlefield crackled with the theatrics of this encounter, Bayonetta's actions painting a cinematic picture of a predator toying with its unsuspecting prey.

(Fūinjutsu: Mu Gen no Kensei) Sealing Art: Baseless Blade Works (Active/Passive)

Spoiler

Type: Supplementary
Rank: B-Rank
Range: Self
Chakra: 20 (-5 per turn active)
Damage: N/A
Description: Created by a fabled Blacksmith in an attempt to preserve his own creations through chanelling them into lesser works so as to not ruin his own blade's with wear, tear and rust, Baseless Blade Works is a seal applied to one's body that possesses a two-directional seal. Aesthetically it takes the form of a sword tattoo, the seal's primary application is similar to that of a generic Sealing technique, allowing the the user to seal and unseal physical targets, in this Jutsu's case specifically weapons, and store them within the seal for convenience and protection. What seperates this seal from the countless seals that provide the same function is the second application tied to the seal. When activated at the cost of 20 Chakra, the user selects one of their stored weapons and, should they be utilizing a weapon(s) of a similar nature, the seal identifies and targets unique aspects of the weapon and imparts that weapons properties on to the weapon held in their hands, effectively creating an "imitation" of the chosen target. This includes access to Jutsu that can only be performed through that specific weapon, abilities or techniques inherent to that weapon itself, or factors of the weapons design that make it unique, such as a specialized version of an existing weapon whose design is altered to achieve a greater/ different effect than its standard counterpart, all of these become avaliable to the weapon(s) in the user's hands.

Naturally there are limitations and drawbacks to the properties this seal. Firstly, due to the transformational nature of this technique, to "overwrite" existing weapons with the nature of another, this technique cannot be used on weapons that already have their own abilities. The weapon in the user's hands needs to be a "blank slate" that a unique weapon can be imprinted upon, or the technique fails to produce an effect. Next, weapons recieving the unsealed properties are still bound by their own inherent/ original properties and limitations. For example, regardless of a stored weapon's durability, the weapon in the user's hands does not recieve any additional defensive capabilities, such as indestructibility. Rather, when the "imitation" weapon's durability is too low (less than B-Rank in strength or durability (freeform weapons are classified as unranked), they can only maintain the imprint for a short period of time (4 turns max) before being destroyed as the enhancement turns into something more akin to a hostile invasion, causing the weapon to self-destruct. Additionally, utilizing techniques or abilities unique to a specific weapon while falling under the aforementioned durability range instantly causes this same destructive reaction. Finally this technique still requires the user abide by the rules regarding Custom Weapons and similarly restricted weapons, as well as any and all limitations the weapons themselves have.

Baseless Blade Works can last for as long as the user is willing to maintain it, provided the application doesn't expire due to the aforementioned durability factor, at a cost of 5 Chakra per turn. If an application of this technique lasts longer than 4 turns, it cannot be used for at least 2 turns once that usage ends. Finally, storage and withdrawal of weapons within this seal costs 5 Chakra per each activation, with the former costing a move when performed in combat, while the latter is always passive. Techniques used used through the imitation technique decrease in strength by a rank.

Sukābarafea | Scarborough Fair

Spoiler

Rank: S
Type: Tool
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 10-40
Damage: 20-80 (80 + 10 via Valentine Clan + 20 via Flamme = 110)
Description: The Scarborough Fair is a set of four large caliber handguns that act as the user conduits for chakra. These handguns are based upon the Derringer a gun capable of rapid fire, simple, and rugged. These four guns have been crowned with the names Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, and Thyme. Pushing the user's hand to hand ability to its limits, when combined with the user's chakra, the guns' rate of fire and stopping power are incredible. The user will makes use of these four weapons by holding two in their hands and two connected to the back of the user's feet which are fired through the use of chakra. To stay loaded at all times, the guns passively drain up to 40 chakra (10 each) per turn. Each weapon holds up to 40 chakra magazine at which points the weapon will stop draining/accepting additional chakra. During development, Ninja Scientists recognized that some situations may require more immediate offensive output, so chakra can be actively loaded by the user by sacrificing one of their moves to fuel one or more of the handguns with chakra. This chakra can be spread among the weapons to load multiple at a time, but can only distribute up to 40 chakra between the weapons and can be done within the time frame of another technique. This allows the user to quickly stockpile the bullets damage resulting in a more powerful bullets as the need arises. Naturally, as long as the weapons are loaded with chakra they can fire chakra bullets up to S-rank depending on the amount of chakra used. It should be noted, that the user may also not expend more than 40 chakra from Scarborough Fair per turn which may be spread among the handguns as needed. These chakra bullets may be elemental or raw chakra, but this must be stated prior to the release as only a single element may be used in a turn. In the turn the user fires bullets from one of the weapons, they expend one of their moves per turn but may fire multiple simultaneously. This means the user will not be able to fire more than three of the weapons per turn. The main focus however behind these weapons lies in the fact they are held and mounted in such a way, they can be used to aid the user's melee combat. Users can supplement some taijutsu by firing the weapons in a way they act as propulsion for their movements. The propulsion increases the speed of the technique, which in turn increases the damage by half the amount of normally ranked jutsu at the expense of chakra within the weapon and thus a move allowing for more powerful strikes. For example, if the using an A-rank taijutsu, the user can supplement it by firing 10 chakra from the chosen handgun. This translates to +10 extra damage to the technique alongside additional flurries of chakra bullets which may cause collateral damage for those in close-range of the propulsion blast. This happens within the same time frame of the taijutsu when used this way, and one or more weapons may be fired if the technique permits it, each weapon fired counting as a move. There is a maximum to this however, as the user may not exceed a +40 damage threshold (S-rank) added to the taijutsu.
Note:
Bullets respect the elemental strengths and weaknesses but as mentioned the user may not expend more than 40 chakra from this weapon per turn. This can be done in single fire or semi automatic fashion. When fired semi auto, the resulting damage will be spread among the number of bullets fired as mentioned by the user during their turn.
S-rank applications cause Scarborough Fair to go into a cool down sequence, preventing usage for two turns.

( Katon/Meromeroton: Mera ღ Mera ) Fire/Perfume Release: Tituba's Plea ღ Flamme de Salem

Spoiler

Type: Supplementary/Offensive/Defensive
Rank: D-S
Range: Short-Long
Chakra Cost: 10-40 ( +10 per turn )
Damage Points: 20-80
Description: Flamme de Salem is a bright and scented flame, usually in pink shades. It takes advantage of Perfume's resistance to fire to burn off the Genjutsu-carrying scent of the element and intensify it. The Flamme de Salem can be manipulated like Fire Ninjutsu, creating flames and maelstroms or burning constructs, which can be bigger and more powerful depending on the chakra used. The Genjutsu carried by the Flamme de Salem induces the illusionary effects described in any approved Perfume technique, like the ravaging rose thorns of Cleopatra's Piercing Adoration or the alluring pheromones of Bonny's Seduction.

This technique can also be combined with an equal ranked Fire Ninjutsu in order to induce the same scent-based Illusiosory effects with other fire techniques as a base, creating an elemental combination technique which has the outcome of being 1 rank stronger or +20 damage in case of S rank. This can be done in the same time-frame as another Fire technique but counts as 2 jutsu. Either variant of Flamme de Salem is ruled by the fire aspect of the technique, and is bound to any Fire-related specialities of the user, likewise, when clashing the Perfume takes a supplementary role whereas Fire carries a defensive and offensive roll, giving the technique or the combo it's elemental S&W, rather than Perfume's. Despite the underlying Genjutsu being the same rank it will still be damageless. Any method of dealing with Genjutsu can be used after the source has been removed, otherwise it is continuously recast without change. The scent exuded by this technique extends in a short range radius around the flame source, casting the illusionary effects in this area.

Note: Up to B rank, it requires 1 turn cooldown after expiration, and last up to 5 turns. A Rank and above can only last up to 3 turns and require 2 turn cooldown. A rank can only be used 3 times, S rank can only be used 2 times. This can't be used with Forbidden ranked Perfume or Fire techniques.
Note: Can't perform other Fire or Perfume techniques higher than S rank throughout the duration of this technique. In case of S rank usage, can't perform them higher than A rank.
Note: A single Perfume Genjutsu effect can be applied per Flamme, without stacking.

Damage Points: N/A
Description: After 3 handseals, the user is able to materialize a very clear and translucent liquid perfume, which quickly takes the shape of magnificent walls around a target, beautifully carved with countless of seed filled dandelions. From the gates, the seeds seemingly detach from the stem, softly spreading out through the area short range around the gate, allowing the perfume in the air. The perfume's scent carries a powerful sleeping genjutsu. As the opponent feels his eyes getting heavier and his movements getting sluggish, they will see young women with angelical appearance caressing and massaging them. The opponent quickly falls asleep for 2 turns. The gates can be created all around a target, including a translucent glass-house ceiling of perfume, but only to a maximum of short range from the target, and a minimum of 1 meter. The target, though, can be up to long range from the user.
After materialized, the gates can't move. They last up to 3 turns, after which they fall on the ground as scent-less puddles of perfume.
