[HA] Dark Release

[Awkward Linguist]

Thanks for accepting.​

 

[Klad]

Tell me everything you know of Dark Release, such as where it originates from, what does it do, the elements it is composed of and anything related to the element.

Also, you want this training to be RP or analysis based?

Egh wrong prefix again. Anyway, Dark release is a KG that allows the user to absorb and release chakra through the use of two overlapping diamond marks. I assume one of the marks is for absorbing chakra and the other releasing them. The released chakra will usually be of a dark -almost black- colour. The absorbed chakra isn't absorbed into the user's chakra network, it stays isolated within the marks on the individuals palms. The elements it is composed of is unknown.

Alright, to start off Dark Release is a Kekkei Genkai said to be originated from Kirigakure, although by an unknown shinobi from it. Hiruko the villain stole this ninja's Dark Release KG and showcased numerous abilities with it. As you said, Dark works in absorbing other energy sources and redirecting them in a far stronger version of raw energy. One thing that I'll correct you is that the colour of the released chakra is light blue, and not almost black in colour.

The method I've used in order to make a better understanding of Dark will make things less confusing for you, at least I hope so. Dark Release is divided into two categories, that of "Absorption" based Dark and "Release" based dark. Now the former deals in absorbing chakra (mostly energy based elements, however higher ranked Dark techniques can even absorb Water or Earth at some point). The dark marks located in your palm need to be short range away from an attack for them to absorb it most of the time. Whereas the Released version of Dark is releasing the absorbed chakra in the form of raw energy, which is alike to light blue flames. This form of Dark does not have the ability to absorb things. Normally, a hit from this raw energy grants death to almost anyone. A B-rank dark explosion is enough to deal life-threatening damage. Another branch of the Released version is that beside the blue flames, it can also come in blast and shockwave version; things which will be portrayed to you during the training.

Moving on, you're right on the part that the absorbed chakra does not affect our chakra system or body, as they stay within the marks. It is believed that the marks are portals to other dimensions, (Example: Obito's Kamui) and these dimensions can contain an infinite amount of chakra in there. That said, let me ask you a question; can Dark Release absorb Senjutsu? No, or yes, provide me the reasons.

Lastly, in the RP, Dark is composed of Lightning and Fire chakra.

I believe it would. Senjutsu is the combination of nature energy plus chakra. A portion of senjutsu chakra has within it a decent amount of chakra - and chakra can be absorbed by Dark Release. If a jutsu is comprised of senjutsu chakra the KG would be able to absorb it, or at least the chakra part. If it can absorb the nature energy as well then the user need not worry about turning into a toad anytime soon since the absorbed chakra isn't added to their chakra network.​

Yup, you are correct. Good job.

Now, what I want you to do is to focus Lightning and Fire chakra in your dark mark in either hand. If you do that, you should be able to activate the upper diamond mark. It will glow usually in red or purple. After you've done that, direct your hand against an attack which I will demonstrate. The point of this is for you to successfully absorb the attack and store it in your mark once the attack enters short range of you.

By focusing on the properties of both elements, I mold Fire chakra and Lightning chakra and mix them together. I then channel them into the dark mark on my right hand, activating the other diamond outlined in red. The fireball bursting into a maelstrom did not faze me, for it was absorbed entirely when I coolly raised my right hand towards it.​

Alright, you learned the fundamental Dark Release technique.

(Meiton: Kyūketsukō) - Dark Release: Inhaling Maw

Spoiler

Rank: B
Type: Offensive, Defensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: N/A
Description: The user uses their dark release to forcibly extract the physical and spiritual energy (chakra) of another ninja and absorb it through the upper square of the mark on his left hand, which can then be used to perform Dark Release: Judgment.
Note: Can absorb up to A-Rank Wind, Fire and Lightning techniques, S-Rank raw chakra or C-Rank Water, all within reason. Has no effect on Earth techniques.

Without this, you cannot begin to perform other "Release" Dark techniques. Notable to say is that Inhaling Maw does not follow Dark's Strengths and Weaknesses based on the official

. So it's more of a stand alone absorbing dark technique, being able to absorb only what is written in the notes. There are other techniques which can also absorb, one of which is a more refined version of Inhaling Maw, allowing you to absorb even solids at some point.

Now then, I'd like to start with the only two techniques which do not require earlier absorption. They're courtesy of Ryujin, who donated these two techniques last year in the canon list.

(Meiton No Jutsu) - Dark Release Technique

Spoiler

Rank: C
Type: Supplementary/Attack/Defence
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: 30
Description: The user can make small dark release energy blasts, shields or any form he wishes to make through the usage of dark release. However, it's not a solid matter as its substance is almost like Wind Release.
Note: Can only be used five times per match
Note: Courtesy of Ryujin

(Taibu Meiton No Jutsu) - Greater Dark Release Technique

Spoiler

Rank: A
Type: Attack/Defence/Supplementary
Range: Short - Long
Chakra Cost: 30
Damage Points: 60
Description: This is a stronger version of the Dark Release technique. The user can shoot dark release energy blasts, shields or any kind of shape through the usage of the Dark Release but on a larger scale than the standard Dark Release technique.
Note: Can only be used three times per match
Note: Courtesy of Ryujin

Give me advantages, disadvantages, how you'd use these in a battle etc. Try your best shot!

Shout out to Ryujin.

One obvious (and probably the only) advantage of the 1st technique is that you can create whatever constructs you would like to. And the only disadvantage is that it's not a solid matter therefore it's seriously weak and can be defended against with basic earth techniques.

An advantage of the 2nd technique is you can you can create larger constructs than 1st technique, and its not limited to mid range but long range. And like the prior technique, it's not a solid matter and thus can be defended against with earth techs of the lower/same rank.

Both of the them would be very useful in CQC - instead of being limited to a kunai/shuriken you can use spears/blades/wrenches by simply releasing DC from your palms and manipulating them to your hearts desire. Reaching for a kunai in your pouch shows the enemy you're going to use a ninja tool, using this jutsu as means for creating ninja tools is a lot more unexpected and thus can catch your opponent off guard.

Neat job! The next set of techniques are basic ones where you release waves of dark chakra towards the opponent. There isn't much difference to each other, it's just that you release a single dark wave with one, and several with the other. Both techniques' ranges are pretty convenient.

They require earlier absorption however. Tell me your thoughts on them (advantages/disadvantages) and how would you apply these in a battle, or possibly in a combination with other techniques you know? (May be other elements)

The advantage of both of these techniques (excluding elemental strengths/weakness) is that you release dark wave(s) of chakra and a disadvantage for both of them is you must have absorbed dark chakra beforehand; they're also pretty weak. The 2nd is slightly more preferable but the 1st is better if you want to conceal the wave behind another jutsu. A good combination with either of these techniques is by propelling a strong and rather large in size water technique at the opponent. Since water is (in RP) blueish in colour and dark release is as you said light blue then it would be difficult for the opponent to notice anything travelling behind the water jutsu.

Question: You said DR is light blue but for the 2nd technique it is black. Is this an error in the description or can DR take on both light blue and black colour.​

 

[Klad]

These two techniques and along with another one are an exception. They're dark in colour despite being release techniques. In Naruto Shippuden Bonds movie, the host of the Zero Tails uses these techniques, and they've been added to the Canon Dark Release list by Scorps a few years back.

Any other questions?

Good. The next technique is interesting as it involves Taijutsu aspects. I'll have you come towards my clone and activate your Absorption dark mark. Then you will need to make contact with any part of my clone's body/skin and sap away a certain amount of chakra from his system. This chakra can then be used as a fuel for Release techniques, so it's a counter-part to the Inhaling Maw technique.

Do your best in order to completely drain that clone of mine out of chakra!

After creating your clone Chrollo steps forward and with his right arm reaches forward lacing his hand around its neck. Tightening his grip he lifts the squirming clone into the air and upon activating the absorption mark, he connects his dark chakra to the clone's chakra network and saps away a decent portion of it into his dark marks.​

 

[Klad]

As the clone sees his opponent closing the distance between them, he quickly assumed a battle stance in the opposition of Chrollo swinging his hand forward. Immediately, the clone adapts into a drunken state like; followed by hasty footsteps and unpredictable movements from side to side. Exactly these dynamic and feasible movements were enough to dodge the incoming dark marked palm by leaning to the side, whilst simultaneously delivering a powerful upwards kick to Chrollo's upper chin.

"Haha! Try harder next time!" The clone laughed mockingly.

Description: This unusual taijutsu style is a unique style of combat Drunken Fist Fighters become human powerhouses who'll strike unpredictability, with no inhibitions, an explosive fury and without any second thoughts about their actions. The user can either make themselves drunk or imitate the method by use of swaying and uneven balance on their feet to attack their opponents a total of 12 variant attacks.

(Kikku) Kick
Type: Offensive
Rank: D
Range: Short
Chakra: N/A
Damage: 20
Description: One of the simplest moves in Taijutsu, the user will simply hit the opponent with a kick from one of his legs. He is free to choose simple variations of the kick and the stronger he is, the more dangerous the technique is.

OOC: Try to incorporate Taijutsu attacks or even freeform next time to have a chance at touching the clone.

As Chrollo reached forward the clone adopted a loose, almost sloppy stance and in an unpredictable manner moved back slightly avoiding his right hand. Whilst doing this the clone immediately pivoted itself on its right leg and with its left leg launched a kick aimed at Chrollo's chin. In that very instant Chrollo had about a million ways to lay the clone to waste; instead he eyed it pitifully. The aim was to absorb chakra from it by way of physical contact so why make the effort of catching it (especially since it was more skilled in Taijutsu) when he could let it do the work for him. With his dominant hand being far out Chrollo channeled dark chakra into his left hand and moved it in front of his chin in anticipation of kick. He grabbed the sole of the clone's foot and instantly absorbed a decent portion of chakra. This of course didn't stop the kick, along with his left hand the clone's foot landed on his chin making him lose his footing as he landed on the ground on his back. Chrollo got back up a few seconds later with a wry smile plastered on his face despite his throbbing left hand. He nodded towards the teacher, signalling he hand completed the task.​

This time around it was a lot better. This satisfied Feitan as he presented a scroll to Chrollo, which had other contents about the technique he just performed. It seemed he was a rather versatile student, able to learn techniques at a very fast pace.

(Meiton: Dassui Fureru) Dark Release: Draining Touch

Type: Offensive
Rank: B-Rank
Range: Short
Chakra: 20 (-40 chakra points to the enemy)
Damage: N/A
Description: By activating the absorption mark in one of his hands and touching an enemy, the user is able to absorb up to 40 chakra points on contact. This chakra can then be used to fuel release-type Dark Release techniques.

The clone had retracted back as he aimed to land a kick on the adversary's chin. Even though he had done so in success, he felt a devastating drain of chakra in his system, causing him to wobble and fall on his knees followed by breathing very fast, indicating an overall tired state. On the other hand, Feitan aided Chrollo to use up that absorbed chakra and release a potent shockwave using both of his hands which will put an end to the clone quickly. The shockwave should be black in colour and be of destructing nature, able to cause massive internal damage to the clone. After he had done so, Feitan would ask his student. "How would you counter the shockwave you just performed if I were to use it against you?"

"Dark release is weak to Water and Earth so I'd probably use a technique from either of those at an equal if not a greater rank", Chrollo shrugged.​
