Custom element japanese name: Hakkton
Custom element english name: Radiation Release
The element is based on: Fire + Lightning.
Facts that prove the element to be possible (in the manga context): The idea behind the elements was basically the Great Ninja World Wars and our World War II. Radiation is basically transfer of energy through vacuum. Radiation usually comes as heat energy so it can be called a Advanced Fire nature like Blaze release, Lava release and Scorch release. Furthermore radiation also has a affinity of lightning. Like electromagnetic radiation.
Idea behind its creation: The idea actually lies in Hakkton’s very definition. Radiation is a process in which energetic particles or energy or waves travel through a medium or space. The basics of manipulating radiation is chakra itself since its energy In our language, the user uses mental and physical energy to control other forms of energy and transfer it in the form of waves. This process at most cases ends up with heat energy. Now when comparing the elements of Narutoverse with our Universe, Fire release and Lightning release ends up the only elements which aren’t matter themselves. Which concludes that Radiation in Narutoverse originates from Fire release and can take the form of Lightning release as well.
Radiation can be ionizing(Radiation with sufficiently high energy can ionize atoms ) and non-ionizing (Radiation with insufficient energy and can’t cause much of change). Ionizing radiation includes manipulation of Alpha particles, beta particles, gamma rays & X-rays (This does not however imply that radiation allows the user to control light/particles or any other element, radiation is strictly transfer of energy and can only achieve such results as byproduct of such a action. I.e. Using radiation to melt Ice is or freeze water can only happen if heat is transferred in or out of the water, the form and shape cannot be manipulated through radiation and the moment they are manipulated the process of Radiation ends and enters another process of Water Release/Ice release). Hakkton includes, transfer of heat energy in and out of an element with great efficiency. This does however have limitations and depends on the type of radiation used.
Radiation has 4 basic types.
• Alpha α - these are fast moving atoms. They have high energy, are usually close/mid range but due to their large mass, they can be stopped by anything Solid. Of course they can penetrate if applied enough force therefore rank and mass matters.
• Beta β- these are fast moving electron, usually Mid range. Since electrons are might lighter than atoms, they are able to penetrate further. Ice Release (at a certain extent) and Wood Release can stop these electrons from passing through.
• Gamma γ - these are photons, just like light, except of much higher energy, short-long range. Can penetrate even Wood and Ice release and even a few inches of steel. Steel release and other Metallic elements can stop this type however rank and mass still matters as a kunai/sword/some other weapon is and will always remain insufficient to stop radiation.
Lastly, other radiation. This type includes basic supplementary uses of radiation. This type does not focus on offense or defense at all. It may use all types/forms of radiations. This includes Radioactive decay.
Ionizing Radiation when used raw may harm the user. The following table defines how much damage the user sustains:
E-C rank Technique: Any damage sustained would be Negligible.
B rank Technique: Minor burns, and possible cell damage.
A rank Technique: Severe burns, and cell damage
S rank Technique: Severe Lethal burns and heavy cellular damage.
Forbidden rank Technique: Death if unprotected.
There are however ways gain protection if not immunity from such results.
-Radiation can be contained in objects and there isn't a definite limit on how much chakra an object can contain. A user of Sealing/Forbidden art can contain a technique within another object with the help of transcription seals (Where you store a technique inside a seal. The technique trigger when the users defined conditions are met). Provided the user is away from the objects range. Radiation won't harm the user. +15 chakra cost on every technique used with protection.
-Radiation of all forms are actually waves. When the user directs a technique towards the target. There are always chances some waves are misguided towards the user himself. In this case Sound release or any other alternative can protect the user. But note that this method only protects the user as he is able to match the frequency of the waves and only needs to defend against a few waves in total. +20 chakra cost on every technique used with protection.
-User of Medical Ninjutsu can always heal their damage in the midst of battle.
These countermeasures and damage are only need when the user performs ionizing radiation. These methods till aren't perfect, i.e. Containing radiation doesn't helps when using a Long range technique (Particularly Gamma). Using multiple ways at the same time is recommended for perfect defense. But even so, the chakra costs are abnormal which can be quite exhausting for the user himself.
Hakkton can be a lethal weapon against Liquids and Gases and its effects varies from technique to technique. Therefore it is important, to consider the strengths and weaknesses of every technique separately not as a whole part of a single elements. An example is that Gamma radiation can be overly powered so logically it should have a higher rank and more restrictions. However, Gamma radiation may have a supplementary technique not deserving to be as restricted. This is in order to make it fair for other CE’s and restrict Op-ed use of radiation from students as well as to give ease to both me the moderator while making customs.
Conditions to be able to use it: Great Chakra reserves, as both lightning and fire could consume a great deal of chakra. Mastery of both Fire and Lightning. And to ensure safe use. Sealing/Sound/Medical ninjutsu are also required.
Is weak to: The given weaknesses only stop the waves from affecting you. Any other added damage is to be dealt with separately. For example; A blast, the given weaknesses would help defend against waves generated from it but not the blast itself.
Alpha- Most Solid are able to stop these, but these need to have a certain density. Obviously clothes and kunais don’t protect you.
Beta-Wood release, Ice release and elements that can be condensed severely like sand and Iron Sand.
Gamma-Steel Release and other metallic elements.
Is strong against: Radiation isn’t strong against a particular element. Its strength depends on how it is actually used.
