Damage: 90
Description: A forbidden technique of the Kaguya clan, only usable by those who have mastered Shikotsumyaku; Regarded as the final and most advanced form of 'Dance of the Larch'. The user will perform a row of 4 two-handed seals, followed by growing an abundant amount of bones from their body, which will attach and surround to themselves as an outer layer of the skin. Sharp bones surround the user's knees, shoulders and arms to further improve defensive and offensive capabilities, the appearance of this armor which is considered to be the final stage of Dance of the Larch, instead of being plain, is a rather decorated structure - having vines and spikes of bone run accross it, the finger of the user being cladded in sharp bone, shoulders having large protective bone vines rising etc. Mujou is an armor-like structure that the brave kaguya warrior known as Nitian developed to supress other clans in close combat, many years before the Kaguya's demise against Kirigakure.
Abilities: The bone armor is made of cartilage and such making it malliable and flexible, yet still being able to adapt steel like density due to the user's heritage. The user can freely manipulate Mujou to the degree of creating tools, vines, and other appendages out of the armor. The bone armor itself has different sub modes. The main and basic mode being the offensive, includes the ability to create swords, shields, staffs, essentially any weapon/object within the user's imagination. The defensive mode allows the armor to detach itself from the wielder only partly, extending into a strengthen form due to the cartilage and the tendons to form an extremely resistant shape, completely consisting of bones to defend against incoming jutsu. The creation mode is the last, yet most potent mode where the creation would be manifested out of the armor itself, creating a wolf silhouette body consisting of a wolf's body features. In which a wolf's mouth/head would overwhelm around the user's head, and their hands would be clad with the wolf's claws [Virtually every aspect of a wolf onto the user, consisting of bone]. Within creation mode, the user's feet which are now clad with the legs of a wolf and their hands which are clad in claws can tear skin and limbs apart with a single swipe. Should the user use an S rank technique while creation mode is active, it would shut off instantly and befall onto the ground as useless remains of bone.
Note(s):
Note: Can only be used by Kaguya bio(s).
Note: While active user can't use any techniques which are released from the body directly (Except for oral techniques, as the user's mouth is not covered by the armor). Otherwise, techniques would get stopped by the armor itself and backfire at the user.
Note: This technique grants an A-Rank defense against fire and wind elemental attacks, except for Lightning which can only be defended against if it's of B rank strength. While being an almost absolute defense against S rank water and earth techniques.
Note: The body's weapon attacks will have an A rank strength each. The power of an attack is divided through the number of objects, such as hurling 2 spears from the armor, would mean they would be B rank each.
Note: Can only be used once and last for a maximum of four turns after which the user will be left extremely exhausted (unable to perform heavy movement for 2 turns) and unable to Shikotsmyaku for the rest of the match. Neither can they use S-ranked or higher elemental techniques 2 turns afterwards.
Note: The user may only use Shikotsumyaku, earth, water, and Taijutsu techniques when using this technique.
Note: The user may only use A rank and below techniques while active.
Note: When the technique is activated, the user cannot use S rank or higher Shikotsumyaku techniques in the same turn.
Note: Can only be taught by Loki
