[CSC] Custom Summoning Contract - Barnacles

[Never]

Tasuke nods and takes Shouto's wrist gently in his left hand, lifting up his arm as he brought his head closer to see the arm closely, Using his right he took out a paintbrush already dipped in ink as he started to draw on the skin. Tasuke concentrated,
his tongue sticking out to the side. He let out a breath when he was done and grinned.

"Seal." The Tattoo glowed and permanently set. He took a step back to observe the seals on both his students.

"Okay Good, I want you to both perform the Summoning Ritual first - the long one of course and summon something like this." Tasuke reaches into his back pouch and pulls our an ordinary Acorn barnacle which he rolled between his thumb and index finger, "Once you've done this I want you to tell me it's properties."

 

[Roy]

As Tasuke drew the tattoo onto his arm Shouto cast a brief glance towards the child who stood by the woman before focusing his attention back on Tasuke, listening to his instructions and closely observing the small barnacle Tasuke is holding. Shouto simply nods in acknowledgement and prepares the summoning ritual.

Shouto fiddles with his thumb from which he previously drew blood and applies pressure on the previously bit part, opening it up to draw some more blood. Following this Shouto proceeds by weaving the hand seals Boar → Dog → Bird → Monkey → Ram and while doing so he concentrates on the creature he observed just now. "Kuchiyose no Jutsu!" Shouto says as he slams his palm down onto the ground, completing the standard summoning ritual and in a puff of white smoke it appeared in all it's glory-.. a small, white Acorn barnacle. Shouto, unsure what to think of this picks up the barnacle and closely observes it while applying a slight pressure to it to observe the toughness of it's scales. "Well-.. seems pretty small on it's own but I can see it's potential. The scales seem quite tough and could prove useful in larger amounts. Seems similiair to rock, considering the hardness-.. not much else I can see at first glance"

 

[Ryóma]

As Alice approached him with a dangerous look on her face, Ryuu wondered if now was a good time to run. But he stood his ground and allowed her to place a tattoo on him, for he knew she wouldn't harm him with the contact leader around. He looked at the tattoo on his arm, shaped like a sun with flames coming out of it. Looked pretty cool to him. As Alice snapped her finger and somehow brought a chair for herself, Ryuu took a few steps away from her, thinking she was kinda strange...

Focusing his attention on the other two, Ryuu saw that the older boy who was also signing the contract had already begun his summoning ritual. The Hyūga followed suit. Drawing out blood again, he performed the required hand seals before slamming his palm onto the ground. In his mind, he pictured the same small thing that was in Tasuke's hand. When the smoke cleared away, Ryuu peered through and saw that he had indeed summoned such a thing. Looking at the dual-coloured hair boy near him, he saw that he too had summoned his barnacle. Ryuu picked up the little thing and brought it up close to his face, trying to observe it closely. The first word that popped into his mind was... snail. But he thought it would be rather rude to the owner if he said, or wrote, something like that, so he didn't. One thing he noticed though was how hard it felt, and the other were those funny feathery things coming out of it's body. They looked kind of cute, so Ryuu gently touched them with one finger, moving them around.

Once he had finished experimenting with it, Ryuu took out his notebook and wrote something in it.

It seems pretty small, and it has soft little things coming out of it's body. I guess that's used for helping it swim in water. It also has a really hard shell, which offers it good protection. Other than that, it's small enough to keep in my pocket.

Once he had written that, the boy drew a butterfly of ink around the writing, and once it emerged, the writing was imprinted on it. Flying over to Tasuke, the butterfly landed gently on him, unfolding itself to become a piece of paper again so that the contents could be easily read.

 

[Never]

Tasuke watched as his students successfully used the summoning ritual to create an Acorn Barnacle, the core to the Contract and their vital starting point. Tasuke listen to Shouto as the butterfly flew over, he took it gently and read it - nodding with a smile.

"Exactly, Acorn or more scientifically known as Thoracica Type barnacles come with a hard shell and fleshy like tendrils - in the future you will be able to manipulate both to an extent." Tasuke's small acorn barnacle slowly morphs into that of a Kunai, the Tendrils then stick out and grow into a pair of wings which flap against the air, allowing the Kunai to float beside him.

"This will be learned in Due time, but first lets introduce you to your first summon. Perform a Tattoo ritual and summon multiple Acorn Barnacles in front of you - i'd say a small group of 10."

 

[Roy]

Whilst listening to Tasuke, Shouto observes Tasuke's acorn barnacle as it would slowly morph into a new shape. Shouto then simply nods as Tasuke gives his new instructions and after casting a brief glance to the newly drawn tattoo on his right arm Shouto bites his thumb, drawing some blood whilst focusing his chakra. Following this Shouto swipes the blood across the tattoo upon which, in a puff of smoke, a dozen acorn barnacles, just like the previous one he summoned, appeared before him.

 

[Ryóma]

Ryuu watched with curiosity as the barnacle in Tasuke's hand changed shape into a kunai with wings. He then drew his attention to Tasuke, who was instructing them to summon some more barnacles. Drawing some blood again, Ryuu focused chakra to his tattoo, before wiping some blood across it. All of a sudden, around ten barnacles of the same type he had just summoned appeared on the ground near him, with those cute little feathery things of theirs. Ryuu kneeled down and took a closer look at them. Very fascinating...

"Nice Job both of you. This will be your first Summon - The Barnacle Hunters. However when in battle this is not how you want to summon them, they will either be summoned directly attached to you OR from your mouth within the guise of a stream of water."

(Kuchiyose : Fujitsubohantā) - Summoning : Barnacle Hunters

Spoiler

Type: Offensive
Rank: A
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra Cost: 30
Damage Points: N/A
Description:
The user makes 2 hand seals and swipes blood across their barnacle tattoo, they build up a large amount of water in their mouth and shoot it out as a harmless torrent of D-Rank water which would have a group of barnacles that would hit target and attach onto the part they were hit on (the torrent may be harmless but it still pushes the opponent back as it has a little force). Barnacles don't have to be summoned this way, they can be directly summoned onto the User. After the Barnacles Attach to the opponent and use their feather like appendages to beat against the air, manipulating the wind and creating currents that push the opponent towards the user or a desired direction which would also surprise the opponent and can stop them from performing a hand seal - the wind has great force and is like a stream which will push the enemy continuously until the barnacles stop. Barnacles MUST be attached to the opponent to do this the wind causes no damage and cannot be avoided with the Barnacles attached to them.

The Barnacle Hunters also have an ability when they are attached the the USER, they are capable of doing the same thing that can be done with the opponent - pushing them in a direction using the wind, however it's usually for their benefit. of course the continuous wind blast costs a move and can be stopped at any time with the user's will, also the barnacles can maneuver the user in a way which would be very similar to floating/flying, capable of changing direction mid-flight. If they so wish they can make a sharp direction change whilst flying, which would send the user in another direction suddenly costing a turn. They also have another ability to add Wind Chakra into techiques done by the user, meaning they will get a reduction is chakra used by the user (Wind Technique's chakra cost is halved), and they do not have to be stuck the user for this - they can be on the field (like if they missed attaching to the target).

These Barnacles are of the Thoracica "Acorn" kind and have a Calcite Shell so they cannot be killed or removed by simple blades, the opponent can't even cut off the section of clothing they are latched onto as they are actually pressed up against their skin through the clothing using chakra. B-Rank or below elemental ninjutsu cannot break through the shells bar lightning, which is only C-Rank and under, However Paralysis techniques like Nagashi does not affect the Barnacles and they will remain latched onto their opponent - Barnacles cannot be paralyzed.

- Continuous Wind Blast costs a move
- Sharp Turn Maneuver Costs a Turn, though Flight is Passive once Continue Wind Blast is activated once.
- Must have signed the Barnacle Summoning contract and be taught by LonelyAssassin
- Can only be summoned once
- Stay on the field for four turns

"Barnacle Hunters have a Wind Affinity and allow you some form of control over the opponent if you successfully hit them - Or if summoned onto yourself allow the ability to Fly - you can also use this flight as a way to dodge things. If you choose to specialise in the Barnacle Contract and decide to have Barnacle Hunters as your permanent companion then you will basically be allowed to have Flight with Dodging Capabilities AND your Wind Release Chakra cost is Halved."

Tasuke waited for his students to take in the information before moving on. He then took out his Brush against and drew a symbol in the air, just a singular one - summoning another Summon from the Contract. The Summon was a large and intense looking figure, at least eight foot in height - towering over everyone here. He wielded a sword of pure energy and seemed to be some monster.

"This is The Arbiter and you will Address him as Such - The Arbiter is a Barnacle Community all linked together to create his Strong and Monstrous Form. Within The Body of this Community of Barnacles is the Main Brain that governs what the rest are doing, their chakra system, their armour, their abilities and more. The Arbiter's Swords are separate devices made for him, whereas the Arbiter has an affinity of my own Wind Release, the Blades made of Lightning Barnacles have an affinity of Lightning. The Arbiter is summoned with Two Swords, both on - but you can only choose to have one Supercharged upon initial summoning which makes all the difference and then you can supercharge the other later. You may also wield one of his swords with permission." Tasuke holds out his hand and The Arbiter places it in his palm, Tasuke activates the blade and shows it to his students. "Thel..."

Spoiler

Type: Supplementary/Offensive/Defensive
Rank: S-Rank
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 40
Damage Points: N/A
Description:
This is another Barnacle Community comprised of many Thoracica Barnacle to form the shape of a creature, Thel 'Vadam stands an intimidating eight feet and two inches including the calcite armour from the acorn barnacles, and possesses huge fingers, two middle fingers, and two opposing thumbs on the outside for grasping on each hand. He is very strong and can lift a person and throw them across the floor with ease, making his close combat attacks very strong and capable of knocking out a human with a punch across the face or even a headbutt. His jaws are quadruple-hinged, with an upper jaw, a greatly reduced lower jaw which are four mandible-like "lips." These mandibles are generally shown with six teeth each; used for speaking through and even capable of savagely biting the enemy, though this is rare. His legs are digitigrade, with short upper and lower legs, and elongated tarsals which gives him great agility - making his running speed faster (almost double the user's base speed - x2) and jumping distance much farther than the average shinobi. The Arbiter is renowned for his great strength and intelligence, and are praised for his bravery and honour, he is known to be summoned instead of the Summoning Boss - to do his Judgement upon the enemy as his "Arbiter" title confirms.

The Arbiter carries two swords, they act like normal blades with a few exceptions, their hilts are bladeless until activation and remain on each leg seemingly stuck to each side. When Activated it seems like the blades are made of energy, the only difference it has from a normal sword is that when it cuts an enemy it also burns and the fact that ignores any armour the opponent may be wearing (unless armour is made of ninjutsu). The swords have a very unique design, when the hilt is activate two blades are formed on eitherside of it extending hoizontally out of it in the same direction away from the user's arm as like an extension (Click Here for Image Representation). The Swords have a special ability to help Aid the Arbiter's Kenjutsu in real fights, a single sword can be charged so that they're superpowered with chakra, giving them the same properties as an S-Rank Blade made of lightning. It remains active once it is charged and are the power of the sword is independent from the Arbiter, it costs a turn to activate the supercharged blade and can be applied to both (Costs a turn each). One initial summoning, one of these swords can automatically be supercharged, but only one. One of these swords can be given to the user, but only remain active when The Arbiter is on the field, they would disperse when he does. He can use the "Wind Release Secret Technique : Sword Shotgun" - and "Hail to the King" Technique without hand seals - Only these two Wind Techniques.

The Arbiter's Armour is special and different compared to the other Barnacle Summons, though it's not the strongest. The Armour can take 60 points of damage (A-Rank) before he can be hurt on the inside, however if he loses some or all of those 60 hitpoints they will "regenerate" every turn by 20 because of the Thoracica Barnacles that make up his armour using their chakra to restore it again. The Arbiter once his armour has gone is susceptible to any attack even a normal sword through his body could kill him.

The Arbiter takes a mighty step forwards and looks down at these two potential signers, people he will no doubt fight beside in the future, his voice slightly differed from appearance, being more wise spoken but still booming with authority; "You will both summon a Barnacle Community, a brain surrounded by a shell that takes the form of a Body - of course this will not be Me as I am one of a Kind Community - this will be a Community LIKE me but much weaker until you are capable of bringing forth another. You may both choose to summon in a way you feel most comfortable."

 

[Roy]

Shouto intently listens to Tasuke's explanation and his expressions changes slightly, displaying his increasing excitement regarding the Barnacles' abilities. "That does seem useful indeed" Shouto replies. As Tasuke summons the large creature and it sure does look impressive. "The Arbiter huh-.." Shouto speaks to himself before it approaches him and his co-student. Once the Arbiter finished it's explanation and gave the new instructions Shouto nods in acknowledgement and once again bites his thumb, drawing new blood whilst focusing his chakra and upon wiping the blood across his tattoo a large puff of smoke comes into existence before Shouto.

As the smoke clears a creature of roughly Shouto's size is revealed, standing on two legs having a rough humanoid shape to it. The creature, like the Arbiter, is made up of numerous smaller Barnacles creating a larger singular entity.

 

[Ryóma]

Ryuu listened carefully as Tasuke explained the Barnacle Hunters technique to him and Shouto. He found the abilities of these creatured to be quite fascinating indeed. He also had a question, so like before, he wrote in his notebook, before transforming it into a butterfly and sending it to Tasuke.

Sensei, are we able to perform a technique ourselves at the same time the barnacles release a wind stream?

Watching Tasuke draw something in the air, Ryuu was astonished when a large giantish looking summon appeared. It was way bigger than the boy, and had a sword in its hand. Then, Tasuke took the sword and it changed to look like energy. Ryuu couldn't wait till the time he was allowed to hold the sword.

As the Arbiter walked towards him and Shouto, Ryuu looked at him with wide eyes of wonder. Very well, he too would try to summon something like this. Drawing blood, Ryuu placed it over his tattoo whilst at the same time channeling chakra there. What appeared was something similar to the Arbiter, but noticeably smaller. Ryuu was both pleased that he could summon this though, and intrigued at the fact that the creature was actually lots of smaller barnacles put together.

 

[Never]

Tasuke looks at the note and lifts his head from it, "Yes, you can - the Barnacles work independently from you and remember that."

His students summon communities successfully, each of them creating a Community - however this one used rock as it's body and their tendrils were thick and tangled to create limbs. The Soldier, Barbaracle. Both of them Salute with one of their many hands. The Arbiter speaks, "A Significant Force in the Barnacle Military, these Soldiers are plenty and can be summoned one after the other if needs be - as one falls another rises. However they are still My Soldiers and you will treat them with respect, if you purposely get them killed I will not be pleased."

(Kuchiyose : Barbaracle) - Summoning : Barbaracle

Spoiler

Type: Offensive / Supplementary
Rank: A
Range: Short / Mid
Chakra Cost: 30
Damage Points: N/A
Description:
The user will perform the ordinary summoning technique or swipe blood on their Barnacle tattoo and summon a tornado of water 2 meters high and 1 meter in diameter on the field within mid range (Similar way "Oregon" is summoned onto the field, water tornado is purely cosmetic) revealing Community of Barnacles that have already made a Piece of Rock their home, work together to become a monstrous creature. It's made up of two rocks, the larger one being the torso and the smaller one being the pelvis area, connecting the two would be regarded as their stomach area connected through the binding of many Barnacle tendrils to become this thick, strong flesh. Barbaracle also has arms and legs made of the strong, thick flesh and at the end of this thick flesh are claws made of Steel which they can use to slash at the enemy with their feet or hands, the barbaracle has four arms altogether. The Barbaracle has a head too which also has steel claws, it is about the size of the average human, just wider.

The Barbaracle is a Water User, capable of expelling torrents of water from it's arms and legs, the water will seem to leak from between their flesh like tendrils to become the torrent of A-Rank water which counts as a move - Barbaracle can split the power of the Water torrent if he wants to shoot it simultaneously from each limb (B-Rank each from two, C-Rank each from four, B-Rank and two C-Rank for 3). The water can even be used in such a way that when Barbaracle is standing they can expel the water from their legs to propel them upwards, however this can only be done if in contact with a surface, if angled correctly he can propel forwards quickly. Even though they are water uses, the earth they made their home can be used as protection like an Earth technique of A-Rank and lower, however they cannot repair it as they do not have an earth affinity. The Flesh can be cut like ordinary Human skin.

Because the Barbaracle is made up of many barnacles, at the end of each limb there is a barnacle which is used as an eye, there is also one in the head. These can be used to Barbaracle's advantage, however when the water technique is used they cannot see until the water subsides, of course they can't see if they're covered up (for example the eyes on the feet will be covered up when standing). The Barbaracle is a Soldier of the Barnacles, there are many Barbaracles that make up the Barnacle Army and another can be summoned if one were to fall in battle and so their special ability is that another Barbaracle can be summoned again later.

- Must Wait 2 turns before summoning Barbaracle again
- A-Rank Water Blast Counts as a move
- Steel Claws are Freeform CQC weapons
- Lasts four turns on the field

The two Barbaracle Disperse from the battlefield. Tasuke steps up again as the Arbiter takes his sword back, deactivating both of them he waits. "There are many forms the Barnacles take, Thoracica, Acrothoracica, Rhizocephala - these can all work together to create Communities or... Kozui. I am about to introduce you to a significant figure in the growth of the Barnacle Empire, he is not the boss - but the brains."

From the very Earth behind Tasuke and the Arbiter a large Summon rips out from underneath the Earth, a loud passive groaning is heard that could've been mistaken for a Roar shook the battlefield. The Worm like creature with the Shell for a face looks down at the Two students, his voice bellowed deeply and disappointed "This is what you've brought me?" From the earth behind both the students two Kozui pop out for each of them. One of them grabs them and holds a Calcite shell blade to each of their necks whilst the other stands in front pointing a blade at them.

"There is no need for these Fear-mongering Games...The Kozui are made of Moyashi's very flesh, since he is so large he can spare it - The Rhizocephala that control the flesh are parasites and undeveloped when created so freshly from his body. However we have an almost perfected version of the Kozui. Zombies." The Arbiter was fast and had already appeared behind the Zombies, yanking them off the students and throwing them to the sides. This intimidation scared the others and they backed off. Tasuke however further approached and took off one of his rings, this ring was different, it was made of shell and had what seemed to be a hole in it.

"I want you to summon them from their sleep, using your chakra now binded to the Contract." Tasuke tosses the ring to Ryuu and then takes his earring out and tosses it to Shouto.

(Kuchiyose : Moyashi, Kokoro no Haka) - Summoning : Sprout, The Grave Mind

Spoiler

Type: Offensive/Defensive/Supplementary
Rank: S-Rank
Range: Short - Long
Chakra Cost: 40
Damage Points: N/A
Description:
The user will wipe blood against their blade and will stab it into the ground, though it can also be summoned by wiping blood on the Barnacle Tattoo and a couple of hand seals being made to finish. From the earth a Thoracica Goose-type barnacle will be summoned, it's hard shell of a head will smash through the earth From Below and it's long stalk will boost it higher into the air like a long neck. The Grave Mind can be summoned under their target and will snap it up from underneath on the initial summon, this can chop the opponent in half cleanly or crush them within the mouth to be digested. Moyashi's huge neck stretches all throughout the earth all up to Mid-Range around the user when initially summoned. Moyashi can retract it's head back into the Earth at any time after summoning and travel through it, popping out again wherever it likes. Swamp of the Underworld is Ineffective against a Summon of this Size, though will stop him from being able to move through the earth if created.

Grave Mind has Rhizocephelia Type Barnacles living all over his body, though they have become a part of him - they respond to him mentally and so the user can also do this when Grave Mind is on the Field. The Rhizocephlia Parasites Capable taking control of part of Moyashi's flesh which seperates from him, they dig through the ground and appear from it. Up to Four flesh beings also known as "Kōzui" totalling A-Rank can be created at the cost of 1/3 of the user's moves. The Kōzui have a Humanoid form and they are the size of the average human - If only one flesh monster is created it can be four times that size, looking like a Mountain Troll. The Flesh beings can be spawned with Weapons made of Calcite shell, which are freeform. Through the Kōzui the user can use Legs of the Thoracica and Body of the Thoracica, the Kōzui also Wield Gadget Barnacles.

The Gravemind's Flesh can take up to large scaled A-Rank damage before he is de-summoned, for example a smaller scale fireball wouldn't do much as the Gravemind is very large. Moyashi adapted to his Parasites and will heal overtime if not enough damage is done to him within a turn, each turn he remains undamaged the next will take a full A-Rank to defeat him. The Shell that cover's Moyashi's head has an A-Rank defence Against Elements before his flesh is revealed, the shell can't be regenerated.

- Moyashi is very large in thickness, being an easy 5 meter in diameter.
- Kōzui costs one of the three moves and up to four can be made Power is split between them as explained
- A Single Kōzui can be summoned as a "Generic Summon" through the ordinary summoning Technique and will follow the same rules as that technique rather than this
- Must know the Barnacle Contract
- Can only be summoned Once
- Lasts for Four Turns

 

[Roy]

As the Kozui appear to threaten him Shouto would instinctively prepare to retaliate however before he had to the Arbiter took care of them. After casting one quick glance at the Kozui behind him Shouto focused his attention back on Tasuke who showed a piece of jewelry made out of barnacle shell. Shouto catches the earring thrown to him and quickly observes it before concentrating and focusing his chakra into the earring and from the earring's shell a large Kozui would be formed, though more refined than the regular ones taking on a nearly humanoid appearance.

 

[Ryóma]

Ryuu nodded his head in compliance to what the Arbiter said. He wasn't one to waste lives anyway. As they disappeared, Ryuu couldn't help but admire how strong and powerful they seemed. He also loved how they could expel water from their limbs. Listening to Tasuke, the Hyūga understood that the two creatures that had just disappeared were a combination of all three types of barnacles mentioned. He then looked around curiously to spot the 'brains' summon.

Much to his surprise, a large summon erupted out of the ground behind Tasuke, making a really loud sound. Pretty cool. But it seemed like the summon was not impressed with the two students, looking at them disdainfully. They probably looked like shrimps to him, but Ryuu kept a straight expression, as if he was unnerved by this whole thing, when in reality he was. To add to the surprise, Ryuu found that all of a sudden, he and his fellow student were being held in an attack-like position. Thankfully, the Arbiter came to their rescue, allowing the boy to relax again.

Catching the ring, Ryuu wondered if there was a summon inside this. After all, why else would he be given the ring? Channeling his chakra into it, Ryuu watched in surprise as a barnacle appeared from within it. It seemed to resemble a human, and was a bit taller than him. Studying the interesting specimen, Ryuu looked towards Shouto, and saw that he too had summoned a similar looking creature.

 

[Never]

Tasuke's Zombie's looks similar to him, except with a few Changes. Toffee, the Zombie that Ryuu had recieved wore a Gas Mask and Punk like school outfit, his hair was pink and wavy. Ted, the Zombie that stood before Shouto had short green hair and wore a smile on his face - his clothes were casual.

"Hey There!" Ted Spoke. Toffee was mute like Ryuu and knelt down so that he was at the same level as him and then bowed his head politely. Toffee then took a hold of Ryuu's hand and placed two Acorn Barnacles into it. Ted held out his hand and gave Shouto his two acorn barnacles.

Arbiter spoke, "Your new most Trusted Companions, Loyal to a fault - they will fall at the sword for you and will look however you want. They are almost impossible to mistake for humans if you have them look like such and you can customise the Acorn Barnacles to look any way you want. Any Questions?"

Rank: B-Rank
Range: Short - Long
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: 40
Description:
From the very body of The Gravemind (Sprout the Gravemind Summon) it's flesh is in the control of a Rhizecephalia Parasitic type barnacle which manipulates the flesh to it's entirety, this is normally called a Kōzui. In this case these Kōzui are personal to the user and are seemingly trapped inside an ordinary sized Acorn Barnacle shells which are attached to the user's body, armor or some accessory they keep on their body due to the way Barnacles permanently attach to surfaces. The Shells are pretty small so can be attached to places like the underside of the tongue and the summon can seemingly grow out from the mouth or can act as the jewel on a ring that the user wears. The user channels chakra into the Shell on their person and the Kozui will pop out (like they are growing out from it) and have a humanoid shape, they can take the form of a Human if they so wish (As long as they have two legs and two arms and are around the same size as a person they can look as cosmetically wacky as the user's preference), a realistic transformation very similar to the Shadow Mirror Body Change Method with clothes and all. The "Zombie" can be spawned with a weapon each made of Calcite Shell, and can be any weapon the user desires - they're just an ordinary weapon. They can be summoned through ordinary summoning means if the user so wishes.

The Kōzui have a very strong resistance to ordinary weapons and taijutsu, anything powered with chakra would hurt the Rhizecephalia normally and being sliced in half with an ordinary blade would still cause the drawbacks of having no legs for example, however the Kōzui can still move and drag themselves with their hands. Kōzui can still feel pain and can break out of genjutsu through pain, however they cannot really be crippled by it (For example pain so severe it would paralyze them or stun them). Kōzui can perform B-Rank Ordinary Strong-Fist Taijutsu OR B-Rank Kenjutsu that the user knows (must be stated when summoned or in the user's bio which of the two they are allowed) and can use Legs of the Thoracica and Body of the Thoracica, and even be fused with the Organs of the Thoracica, the Kōzui also Wield Gadget Barnacles. The Restrictions of the Barnacle Arts when the Zombies use them apply to them separately as they are a singular entity with it's own abilities, their number of usages of an Art will not clash with the Users. Moreover, The Zombies can through the mental command of the signer use ONLY the Legs of the Thoracica and Body of the Thoracica from their Shell which they are trapped within until summoned that is on the User's person.

The Rhizecephalia act as travelling companions and last indefinitely on the field upon summoning, when they take C-Rank Ninjutsu Damage they will disperse from the battlefield back into their shells. They usually come in pairs, but each use of this Technique is a single separate Kozui and so the user can have up to two of these on their bio - each being different.

- Must have Signed Barnacle Summoning Contract
- The Zombies can communicate with the user in their shells, this is mainly cosmetic
- Can only have a Maxmimum of Two of these on ones bio and can only summon two per battle.
- Must be stated in the User's Bio to be capable of being used
- The user can have the Kōzui be taken back inside the acorn shells if in short range
- Can only be used 4 Times

 

[Roy]

Shouto took the two Acorn Barnacles given to him and observes them while listening to Tasuke's explanation before channeling his chakra into the Barnacles as they would form into two rings, one of each he puts on either of his ring fingers. Shouto then looked back towards Tasuke and nodded. "No questions"

 

[Ryóma]

Closely inspecting the barnacle he had summoned, Ryuu wondered if it would be considered as a delinquent amongst barnacles due to the way it dressed and its hair colour. As Ted spoke to Shouto, Ryuu looked at Toffee, waiting to see if he would say something too, but nothing was said between them. Instead, the barnacle acted in a polite manner, even kneeling down to the boy's level as he was still a kid. As he was handed two Acorn barnacles in his hand, the mute boy felt a mutual understanding between them. Perhaps he wasn't a delinquent after all...

Looking over to see what Shouto was doing, Ryuu did the same thing, channeling chakra into the acorn barnacles, allowing them to form into rings which he placed upon his fingers. This would ensure that they would not get lost. In response to Tasuke asking if there were any questions, Ryuu shook his head, indicating that there were not.

Tasuke blinked, it was strange that there was a lack of questions - but maybe there would be some later on,
"Okay, don't forget to ask them if you have any that decide to pop up."

Moyashi disperses since he was no longer needed and the Zombies take their respective shells of the students and return them to Tasuke before they returned inside of the shells. He put them back on. And then relaxed.

"Gonna give you guys a break summoning anymore. If you want to meet any I'm about to explain you can summon them in your own time." Tasuke slams his hand on the ground and summons a single Acrothoracica barnacle burrowed into that Earth, "This is one of the many Acrothoracica that will be summoned as apart of the Barnacle Bay - they will spread out across the ground giving summoning capabilities - they also stop techniques A-Rank and below from the ground."

"Another two communities summons that can be created are Spectre, the Silence - a stealth summon with invisibility and a way of stopping him from being sensed. And Next is the O.D.S.E, which means Orbital Drop Storm Elites which creates four communities in a calcite pod shell high in the air capable of being delayed for a bit before they land. The Elites have the same form as the Arbiter, just shorter and with only Minor Armor. That's most of the summons out of the way, you sure there aren't any questions? Anything else you want to ask or do before we meet the boss."

Type: Supplementary
Rank: A
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra Cost: 30
Damage Points: N/A
Description:
The user can either do the normal summoning method or bite their thumb, wipe it on the summoning tattoo and then slam the ground. These are Acrothoracica type barnacles and they are summoned into the ground where they burrow into it, creating thousands of little slits in the earth all up to the max of Mid-Range all around the user. This summon uses its tendrils by sticking them out of their burrowed homes and anything that brushes passed they sense, sending the information back to the contract signer(s) of the disturbance in that area, their tendrils can be damaged but they usually retreat into their burrows if anything damaging starts to spread across the ground (like fire) and when it has dispersed they reappear. These barnacles disallow the opponent from using any jutsu using chakra that come from the ground up to A-Rank in their vicinity because they now have complete control of the earth stopping any chakra from above the surface.

Barnacle Bay can utilise the "Barnacle Arts : D.E.V.A" Technique using one of the three moves allowed in a turn and from the ground they will quickly grow and sprout a Goose Barnacle up to and including A rank in power from the use of D.E.V.A, the shell head acting like an egg as a D.E.V.A. is spawned onto the field the sprouted goose barnacle shrinks and retreats back into the ground. The D.E.V.A can only be a B-Rank one and is capable of creating up to two with one use. This can only be used once each time the Barnacle Bay is on the field.

- Can only be Summoned Once per battle, thrice per event
- Lasts 3 turns on the battlefield.
- If the Opponent uses an S-Rank Earth Jutsu For Example from the ground it is weakened to an A-Rank, but the Barnacles will be dismissed.
- Usage Restrictions of "D.E.V.A" apply to Barnacle Bay and not the User
- User can still use Jutsu from the ground, but will have to control the barnacles to move from the area he intents to use earth from beforehand.

(Kuchiyose : Chinmoku, yūrei) - Summoning : Silence, the Spectre

Spoiler

Type: Offensive
Rank: A-Rank
Range: Short - Long
Chakra Cost: 30
Damage Points: N/A
Description:
Silence is summoned by wiping blood on one's Tattoo or by performing the normal Summoning Technique, however this is followed up by a very subtle 'finger to the lips' whilst whispering 'shh' - This is purely cosmetic and does not need to be performed, it's more of a tradition. Silence is also a Community of Acorn Barnacles which are made up like Oregon and Barbaracle. However each Acorn barnacle is connected through it's Tendrils to another on the opposite side of where it reside on the body, through this link the Barnacles produce Hexagonal Shapes which mirror what the other is seeing on the opposite side - giving the effect of Active Camouflage all over the body of the Summon. The Summon will look practically invisible from those with normal eyesight.

The Invisibility loses it's effect in close range of any opponent, his invisibility kind of distorts the background and scenery only slightly, and since Silence is only really effective in close range since he doesn't have any range abilities this can be a big disadvantage. Also Summon can get residue/dirt/something on him which would give away his stealth - Though the invisibility projections have a protection against anything of D-Rank and below, if anything of a higher rank were to be 'spilled' on them then it would show. To fix this the Summon would have to deactivate and reactivate the Invisibility, basically 'reset' it which after deactivation would mean they'd have to wait a turn before being able to reactivate. Upon Activation of Invisibility the summon will use their Chakra to produce 'Placebos' all over the battlefield that move unpredictably - These will only be seen and sensed through those with the Dojutsu as they will be the only ones capable seeing this chakra being intentionally manipulated in such a way, this means that even Dojutsu and Sensory users cannot pinpoint the exact where about of Silence.

Finally the Offensive Use of Silence is not his Prowess in Just Remaining Unseen, but to dispatch his enemies. If Silence were to carry his weapons they would be seen on his person under the invisibility, they do not 'merge' with him. This means that he has to keep his weapons somewhere else, Silence hides his weapons inside his body, beneath the Invisible Cloak between all the tendrils of the Barnacles. He can freely unsheathe his forearm blade which comes out of the top of his hand out as two sharp blades side-by-side with a small gap between the middle - The blade is about 8 inches past the knuckles of the hand, making them fatal. Also Silence can freely throw Flat Knives which he pulls from his body and throws, however the Knives don't remain invisible and can be clearly seen. If he wishes the user can give Silence Tools which he will hide in his body to use later - If so it will look as though the Tools given disappear in midair.

Every Barnacle has a Calcite Shell, this also means the same for Silence, however because the Acorn Barnacles do so much work manipulating the way his body works his armour is weak. The Calcite Shell that protects his flesh and "brain" equate to that of a C-Rank which is neutral to the elements, except lightning which is strong against the Calcite Shell meaning only D-Rank will be enough to break it.

- Silence moves Silently Passively.
- Invisibility Activation Costs a Move.
- The user can have Silence be Invisible on arrival, this will cost two out of the three moves.
- Silence is Summoned in Short range of the user.
- Summon Lasts 4 Turns on the Field
- Can only be summoned once per battle, thrice per event

Spoiler

Type: Summoning
Rank: S
Range: Long
Chakra Cost: 40
Damage Points: N/A (80 if used as an Attack)
Description:
More Clearly known as "Orbital Drop Storm Elites" are a group of Barnacle communities that look the exact same as the Arbiter except they are a lot shorter (being around 7 foot instead of the Arbiter's 8, since he is the superior) and have a different armour style, they just use the same anatomy so to speak. This form is usually referred to as an Elite or Sangheili and they come in different armour shapes and colours depending on their role in the squad. Example. When blood is swiped on the tattoo the ODSE are summoned in a unique way, the Elites being in separate 'drop pods' made out of the Thoracica Calcite Shell that surrounds them protecting them from the Impact they feel as they are summon high into the air and hit the ground with some force, because of how high they are summoned they will be able to be used offensively. The user may also summon the O.D.S.E and have them be delayed, creating them so high up in the air that they arrive a couple of turns late, the maximum amount of turns the user can stall the O.D.S.E. arrival is two and must be stated, however they can just be summoned immediately and they will impact with the ground where the user wishes that same turn.

The Group of ODSE are made up of Four Elites Wielding Blue Armour, Each are B-Rank and if hit by Ninjutsu of this rank will be killed however their armour can take C-Rank and below with ease. The Elites Wield Needlers on one arm and Three of them have Navy Blue armor, whereas the one with Red acts as a Captain, they all move at the user's base speed. Needlers are Calcite Shell Gauntlets that are loaded with Calcite Shell senbon charged with Lightning that give these senbon a Pink glow are passed from the wrist into the between of the fingers of the Elites allowing them to hold 3 at a time (Example of Gauntlets : Ignore handle, Hand would be where the Silver part at the front is). The Elites may throw the Senbon one at a time which act like ordinary explosive tags in power but are slightly stronger and will cut through opposing tags by diffusing them with the lightning or can throw three at a time at multiple. However Using one of the 3 moves per turn the Elites may Fire an S-Rank Barrage of Many lightning Senbon from all of them causing an explosion that builds and builds into a massive maelstrom covering a diameter of 5 meters, this ability has a two turn cooldown. They are allowed to fire a barrage from just one Elite equaling only B-Rank lightning which also costs a turn but no cool down. They are also each given energy swords like the Arbiter has however they only have one each and are all B-Rank sustained lightning and are wielded in the opposite hand of the Needler, if broken the sword can be reactivated at the cost of a turn - however this has to be done for each one. Using one of the user's turns from the sword the elites can release an aura of electricity that travels through their body and then pulses outwards in short range, paralysing anything caught in the field - but it also interacts with chakra, killing techniques of B-Rank and below according to elemental strengths and weaknesses. (Has a Two Turn Cooldown).

The User if they So wish Can Summon just the Weapons; Needlers and Energy Sword and gain their ability unless multiple Elites are required (For Example the Needlers S-Rank ability unless somehow at least 3 people wield these abilities on the field). The user cannot summon a squad and have them give their weapon to him, they will disperse when the summon disperses so must summon their own, however the user can summon these weapons onto an ally - Shadow Clone, Entity with reason, Kozui because it is the barnacles that make up the weapon give them that power and create those attacks.

- Must have Signed Barnacle Contract
- Can only be Summoned once per event.
- O.D.S.E. Disperse four turns after impact with the ground.
- No other summonings in the same turn.
- Summoning just the weapons have four usages and a three turn cooldown.
- So long as the weapons, alone, have been summoned, the O.D.S.E. cannot be summoned.

Shouto once again listens to Tasuke's explanation and carefully observes the details of the three summonings, "You've explained well enough, no questions from me" Shouto replies.

 

[Ryóma]

Watching as Moyashi disappeared, Ryuu allowed for the shells to be taken off him, and returned to their rightful owner. He was relieved when Tasuke told them that they did not have to summon any more for now; using up so much chakra would exhaust him. As the Barnacle Bay was explained, Ryuu felt quite satisfied at the fact that the enemy would have a difficult time making ground attacks. This would also be quite useful at evading that swamp technique.

If that was not awesome enough, Ryuu was intrigued to hear about this summon who was invisible. He did, however, understand that it lost it's invisibility effect once in short range of the enemy, so it would mostly be useful for throwing weapons at the enemy, or personally helping the user. Ryuu had a question about this technique, which he decided to ask after the teacher finished his explanation.

With the third summon explained, Ryuu was a little confused. He took out his ink brush and started writing questions.

With the Silence summon, does it automatically have invisibility activated upon arrival on the battlefield, or must it be activated? And for the O.D.S.E., I'm a bit confused with the four communities thing. Does it mean that the summon is made up of four types of communities and is a whole, or are they separate pieces?

Again, Ryuu drew something around his writing; this time a snake, which went over to Tasuke and climbed up his body before reverting back to the shape of a normal paper.

Tasuke looks at the paper as it crawls up him, so intricate and graceful. He reads the note and nods, the questions made sense to him and so he answered;

"You can summon him invisible, but it costs you (Costs two of your moves out of three). The O.D.S.E summons four separate communities that all work together - they all have the same weapons and blue armor except the Leader of the pack which is red. Basically a Squad, and each member of the squad is a barnacle community."

Tasuke claps his hands together and lets out a sigh, "Okay, moving on." Tasuke clicks his fingers and in both hands two pouches that look heavy. "Don't get your Zombies confused with these acorn barnacles - these are Gadget Barnacles and have various options. Use them as a source to your techniques like Ink or Water or even as a makeshift lighter. Another option is the Spider Bomb, they move on their own and will explode as Fire, Lightning or Wind. If you need a Weapon you can quickly create one out of Calcite or create an Earthen Golem from the ground.

(Fujitsuboātsu : Gajettofujitsubo) - Barnacle Arts : Gadget Barnacle

Spoiler

Type: Supplementary/Offensive/Defensive
Rank: C
Range: Short - Long
Chakra Cost: N/A (+15 for summoning)
Damage Points: (+30 Spider-cle)(+30 Corrupt-cle)
Description:
The user will perform one handseal and summon what seems to be a generic Acorn Barnacle about they size of a coin in their hand, this isn't a summon and just a barnacle art that the user can use. The user can throw this Acorn Barnacle onto a target and it will permanently bind to it as long as it is solid (Person, Summon, Rock etc), the Gadget Barnacle has a number of effects and can only use one.

Source-cle
This Barnacle is used to bring up sources that may be needed depending on the user and their abilities. For example if the user is a water user then the source-cle will be thrown and it will release a puddle of water that will splash on the ground (can also be used as a C-rank water defence). Also creates an Ink Source if needed, (Puddle of Ink) or a source for Dark Release; The shell is gripped in the palm of the user's hand and the chakra is absorbed straight into the user capable of utilising one Dark Technique with it. Creates a Flame from the opening of the shell if that is a required source (Makeshift Lighter), can be used as a Mist Bomb which creates a small veil big enough to hide a couple of persons.

Spider-cle
Six tendrils will act as legs from the Shell and be able to move around, capable of carrying an item like a Shuriken or Kunai, Scroll or a Message (For RP use in the Ninja World) in a couple of their tendrils whilst the other four are used to move around. The Spider however is also a Bomb, is basically an explosive device that can be exploded at any time, before sticking to a target or after it. It creates a C-Rank explosion with a radius of 2 meters, the explosion isn't enough to kill and only blow the opponent away and cause minor burns. It can either be a Flame Explosion, Wind, or Lightning. The spider-cle moves at the same as their user's base speed.

Weapon-cle
The Acorn Barnacle actually becomes a powerful transformation, taking the shape of a weapon of the user's choosing. They can withstand up to C-Rank Elements before breaking, the barnacle can transform into a pair of weapons splitting the rank into D-Rank each.

Corrupt-cle
The Acorn Barnacle will be thrown at the ground where it will attach to it permanently with it's natural ability too, through this natural ability they have gained a knowledge and sort of affinity to earth of sorts. So the Earth is taken control by the barnacle and they will manipulate it into a 2 foot earth golem, it is capable of communication with the user and attacking with it's mouth and fists - like the Bomb-cle this acts like a C-Rank earth technique.

- These don't have to be summoned, they can already be on the user if stated in the bio.
- Body of the Thoracica and Legs of the Thoracica can be used through a Gadget Barnacle
- Barnacle Community Summons like "Oregon", "Barbaracle" can use Gadget Barnacles from their body.
- To use Varieties like Ink and Dark of the Source-cle then you have to be a user in that form of Ninjutsu
- Using One Gadget Barnacle costs a turn
- Must have signed the Barnacle Contract
- Can only use two different types of Gadget per turn
- Cannot use the same type more than once a turn

Listening to Tasuke answer his questions, Ryuu nodded to show that he understood. He then listened to the abilities of the Gadget Barnacle, which he found rather interesting. So, he could keep them on his person, and they could also act as a source for certain techniques, amongst other abilities. Very useful indeed. Ryuu had no questions for this summon.
