(Ninpo: Sōzō no Karada) | Ninja Art: Body of Creation
Type: Supplementary/Defensive
Rank: C
Range: Short-Long
Chakra cost: N/A (-5 per turn)
Damage: N/A
Description: Using the ability to manipulate Ink, the user will gain the ability to place the ink on their bodies for the sake of future battles. Similar to getting a tattoo, the ink will rest on the user's skin in a variety of shapes and forms, and can often times be confused with Fūinjutsu seals. The ink "tattoos" have a variety of uses and properties, namely the ability to create ink animals directly from the user's body without the need for a scroll, because in essence the user would have turned his body into a living canvas. By channeling chakra into the ink the user can have the tattoos move about on their bodies in order to ensure the perfect orientation. Ninjutsu and Ink manipulation techniques that would require pre-prepared scrolls can be done with Sōzō no Karada by either the user drawing the needed shapes on their body or having the image needed already drawn on before the match. How this works is by first drawing the required shape/kanji onto their body and then coursing chakra through the ink to summon the preferred effect. Due to the ability to move the ink while it is on the skin, a new shape can be created instantly with chakra control and as such the user would only need to drawn a single shape once and then have it re-purposed for anything else. As mentioned before, the main ability of this technique is to allow the user to bring forth small, ink made creatures for the sake of carrying messages, scouting, or general amusement. Meaning, even if they were used to attack they would count as free form techniques with no rank or damage value at all. The creatures able to be created are listed below:
Hawk (鷹, Taka) Can be ridden for reconnaissance or high-speed travel. Smaller variants can be used to carry explosive tags or be used to deliver messages.
Rat (鼠, Nezumi) Can swarm across an area to search for a target much faster than the user would be able to on their own. Being so small, the rats are inconspicuous, also making them suitable for covert message delivery.
Snake (蛇, Hebi) Can be used as ropes to restrain someone. With the ability to soundlessly enter through even the smallest crevice, they can also be used for covert ops.
Tomoe Lion (巴獅子, Tomoe Shishi) Used for travelling on ground, these lions appear vicious on the outside but are actually harmless. If needed they can be used to hold down a target with their powerful jaws.
Fish (魚, Sakana) Made of special, water resistant ink, the fishes are able to travel through bodies of water to deliver messages or very small objects in their mouths.
Note: Must be stated in the user's biography or beginning of the battle.
Note: Up to 3 tattoos can be made in one go.
Note: The technique can be used five times per event, with each contract lasting two turns.(In the case four are made at a single go) Alternatively, the user can create a less amount of constructs and have the additional turns added to the created construct. For example releasing two creations that would last four turns each. Due to the technique lacking any actual damage potential, this extension serves for more story oriented purposes.
(Fugaku Sanjūroku-kei) Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji
Type: Weapon
Rank: S
Range: N/A
Chakra: N/A
Damage: N/A
Description: Sanjūroku-kei is a rather uniquely designed weapon, specifically for that of the artist named Foreigner in order to enhance her art in the heat of a battle. It takes the form primarily as giant paint brush - but it has the passive ability of being able to shift it's form into a vastly smaller brush when needed. Depsite this, the shaft and bristles of the brush are light weight - allowing her to wield her weapon with ease while also being made of indestructible material but lacks the means of being able defend against ranked jutsu. It can however deflect freeform bases techniques such as freeform taijutsu, kenjutsu etc.
All Things in Nature - The true nature of the brush comes in when Inoūi attempts to draw a work of art utilizing the brush, through the use of ink tattoos, ink in general or even when using them from the scroll. The brush will siphon a minor amount of chakra from her through physical contact and take that, pushing the extra chakra into the user's ink based techniques increasing the offensive power of jutsu - passively increasing the rank by one or +20 to S ranks and above. Techniques that have no damage value will then instead gain +20 defensive power instead thus allowing her works of art to be sturdier in clashes. This is a passive ability and requires no input from the user but does require the brush to be in physical contact or within one meter of the owner in order to be utilized.
Territory Creation - Is another passive skill that works in tandem with the ink brush as it acts as a sort of beacon. This allows it to leak out chakra into the area up to long range, allowing the user a unique form of sensory as it allows them to detect any sort of ink source (or any sort of ink) within the area as well as anything that is near the ink (within close range proximity). While this is passively activated - it drains the user of - 5 per turn to sustain.
Divinity – Is the final but active ability of the brush, as located on the handle is a seal. This seal exists on the user’s palm as well with the kanji for “Divinity” written. By activating this seal, the user is able to in the event of getting the brush stolen from them would immediately seal the brush back into the seal located on the user. The seals are intertwined with one another – thus no matter the distance, the brush will always come back into the user’s possession unless it is sealed somewhere else and thus remains unreachable. It can also passively be activated to unseal the brush instantly as well into the user’s hand once again. The active ability can be used once per turn with a cool down of two turns. Both applications requires 30 Chakra to activate
