(Koton: Bouei no Percival) – Steel Release: Passion of Percival
Type: Supplementary/Defensive
Rank: A
Range: Short - Long
Chakra Cost: 30
Damage Points: N/A
Description: Before performing their next doton technique that emerges from the earth, the user infuses the ground below with their koton chakra to create a layer of black steel just beneath the surface. As the earth technique rises, the layer of steel will morph around it to encase it in the form of a coating of black steel scales. The size of the layer will always be proportional to the scale of the technique about to be used. The result is the original technique once fully surfaced technique being completely enveloped in a chassis of glossy metal. It could be said that the technique is "wearing an armour" as the coating boosts the defensive abilities of the technique considerably. The armour of scales "worn" by the technique is the equivalent of an A-Ranked Steel technique and is purely defensive in usage (meaning it will not boost the damage techniques can inflict). Affected techniques do not become dual-elemental, simply layered. For example, using this on a B-Rank Earth technique will make it so the exterior is an A-Rank Steel technique and the interior is a B-Rank Earth technique. Destroying the exterior of metallic scales will expose the underlying rock and this will leave a B-Rank Earth technique. While seemingly powerful, an S-Rank Lightning technique would destroy an A-Rank Earth technique coated with this A-Rank Steel armour and still continue onwards. The main purpose of this technique is to make the user's own earth techniques superior to that of the opponent's. It is still vulnerable to Lightning. Formation of this metallic armour is passive and does not result in the premature termination of earth techniques which require maintenance such as the Earth Dragons and the Stone Golems. The usage of this technique and the one succeeding it (the jutsu that will be clad in the steel) occur in the timeframe of a single technique.
Note: Can only be used twice per battle
Note: Does not work with KG/CE variants
Note: Cannot be used on S Rank or above Techniques
Note: Cannot be used with mud or sand-based techniques
Note: Lasts for 4 turns per use
I release my Koton chakra into the ground to create a thin layer of steel. I then use an earth technique and the steel coats the earth in black steel giving it an extra layer of defence. z.z
(Koton: Shutten no Arthur) – Steel Release: Authority of Arthur
Type: Supplementary/Defensive
Rank: S
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 40 (-10 chakra every turn)
Damage Points: N/A
Description: The user releases his koton chakra from every chakra point on his body to unleash countless wires of steel (similar to Lances of Lamorak but on a much greater scale). These metallic cords wrap around his body to encase him head to toe in a chassis of black steel (excluding his eyes, nose and mouth). The shape of the armour is entirely up to the wishes of the user. Due to the flexibility of the wires, they don’t restrict his movement in the slightest and their weight isn’t significant enough to reduce his speed either. The wires can be extend up to mid-range and can be used to attack as well as defend against techniques and will regenerate within a turn if struck with an attack that isn’t strong enough to destroy it in its entirety. The metallic strings can also be used for several supplementary purposes such as using them to walk rather than using one's own feet (think Doctor Octopus) or reshaping them into additional tools, constructs and limbs. The wires also have the added benefit of acting as a “Lightning Rod” for the user. If the opponent tries to conduct lightning along the armour, the wires act as a lightning rod (similar to Sword Technique: Lightning Rod) and ground the lightning by harmlessly conducting them into the ground, preventing the user from being paralyzed or damaged. However while this technique is active, the user can only use Steel, Fire, Earth, any KG/CE combination of the aforementioned elements and non-elemental abilities. The extension of the wires costs 10 chakra and costs a move. Reforming the armour costs 20 chakra and counts a move (but it doesn’t need to be initiated, it simply occurs and the user is free to perform other techniques while it occurs, though can only reform once). Creating additional limbs/constructs/tools costs 30 chakra and counts as a move and can only be done once per turn
Note: Lasts for four turns
Note: Can only be used once per battle
Note: No S-Rank or above Steel techniques on the turn this is deactivated
Note: No Fire or Earth techniques above S-Rank on the turn this is deactivated
I release my Koton chakra to every point in my body releasing countless steel wires that cover my entire body, except for my eyes, nose and mouth. These wires can be manipulated as I see fit z.z
(Kōton: Urami no Mordred) – Steel Release: Malevolence of Mordred
Type: Offensive
Rank: A
Range: Mid-Long (Explosion is Short)
Chakra Cost: 30
Damage Points: 60
Description: The will focus their Kōton chakra into any structures of steel of up to A rank outside their body to unleash a violent outburst of hardened steel bullets from every point on those objects/tools/constructs as projectiles in all directions. Any structure this technique is used upon will effectively "detonate" into an explosion of metallic bullets that move as fast as arrows and they will travel outwards radially to cover the full scope of short-range around the initial position of "detonated" structure. In terms of shape and size, they do not differ from ordinary bullets but logically the number of bullets released will depend on the scale of the structure this is used upon.
Note: Can only be used four times per battle and every 2 turns
I throw a D - Rank Steel Tech kunai at a clone. Once the kunai reaches close enough range I manipulate the steel within the kunai to release several steel bullets that shoot at arrow like speeds and crash into the clone. z.z
(Kōton: Sakae no Galahad) – Steel Release: Glory of Galahad
Type: Supplementary/Defensive
Rank: S
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 40 (-15 chakra per turn)
Damage Points: N/A (+20 damage to physical Taijutsu attacks)
Description: This technique is often seen as a close counterpart to Steel Release: Impervious Armour. The user will use their koton chakra to turn their whole body into black steel, making themselves invulnerable to virtually all types of basic weapons and physical taijutsu attacks (up to and including S-Ranks). While in this state the user is immune to A-Rank and below techniques of neutral elements (S-Rank and below of elements weak to Steel, B-Rank and below for elements strong to steel). However while this technique is active, the user can only use Steel, Fire, Earth, any KG/CE combination of the aforementioned elements and non-elemental abilities.
Note: Lasts for four turns
Note: Can only be used twice per battle
Note: No S-Rank or above Steel techniques on the turn this is deactivated
Note: No Fire or Earth techniques above S-Rank on the turn this is deactivated
I release my Koton chakra over my body surrounding it in a steel like armour. The armour gives me a greater defensive strength compared to that of the Impervious Steel Armour.
(Koton: Banjin no Kousei) - Steel Release: Resurgence of Savagery
Type: Supplementary/Defensive
Rank: S
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 40 (-10 chakra per turn)
Damage points: N/A
Description: The user focuses his koton chakra throughout his body and uses it to create a mass of black steel which appears to grow over his body. The metalllic armour envelops him entirely (with the exception of his eyes and mouth) and takes the form of a medieval armour with a glossy metallic sheen. Unlike its earthen counterpart (Hardening technique) the armour is not as bulky since not as much material is required to make an equally formidable defense (steel is much harder than earth) but its mass still takes its toll on the user. Consequently the user's overall movement speed is reduced by half. What makes this technique unique and not just another elemental armour is the fact that the armour is a partially sentient being (like the Stone Golems) that is worn as a defense. Through mental commands alone, the user can freely control the chassis of steel throughout its duration granting him an unparalleled ability in combat. Aside from its sentience, the armour possess two abilities. The first ability is a variation of its earthen counterpart's capability to create tools from itself. The user can create and/or extend spiked or blunt weapons from anywhere (or everywhere) on the armour's body, which are capable of bludgeoning or skewering through the body of anyone they come into contact with. Any weapons made via this method can be a maximum of five meters in length and one meter in width. Each weapon is also fully equipped with a hilt, in which can be used to hold onto the weapon, much like one would do with a sword. Any weapon made via this method is physically attached to the armour but can be detached and thrown as a projectile or retracted into the armour's body at any time to restore its original form. The second ability essentially allows anything inanimate that's solid in composition touched by the armour to be converted into black steel. As a result the user can make use of anything as if it were an actual weapon, from sticks to the weapons of others (excluding Custom Weapons). The bond between the user and the armour is stronger than that of most sentient creation techniques because the two are always in physical contact. Thus the armour passively leeches a portion of chakra from the user's body every turn in order to sustain itself. However in a way it is also more dependent on the user than most sentient creations as it acts like a symbiotic parasite. It cannot leech chakra from the user without physical contact and so when the user sheds the armour it will drop lifelessly to the ground. Since the armour is a sentient creation it cannot be manifested in only specific parts of the body and initially must always be made to encase the user in his entirety (excluding eyes and mouth).
Note: Can only be used twice per battle
Note: Lasts for four turns (unless cancelled)
Note: No S-Rank or above Steel techniques on the turn the armour is deactivated
Note: No Fire or Earth techniques above S-Rank on the turn the armour is deactivated

I release Koton chakra over my body to form another armour which is much stronger than the previous one. By using mental commands I can create weapons to extend from any area in the armour which remain attached until unattached by the user. While wearing this the user loses half their speed but can use any element and ability while the armour is active unlike the previous one z.z

As a result the user can make use of anything as if it were an actual weapon, from sticks to the weapons of others (excluding Custom Weapons). This transforming anything the armour touches into steel will not apply to living beings, anything on the user’s person nor will it apply to the ground or any surface they may be standing on. The bond between the user and the armour is stronger than that of most sentient creation techniques because the two are always in physical contact. Thus the armour passively leeches a portion of chakra from the user's body every turn in order to sustain itself.

Since the armour is a sentient creation it cannot be manifested in only specific parts of the body and initially must always be made to encase the user in his entirety (excluding eyes and mouth). This armour does not limit the user’s ability in battle any way. It doesn’t limit or hinder their ability to perform handseals. It’s flexible at the joints (back of the knees, elbows, etc), allowing seamless movement while in the armour. To supplement their ability to release steel techniques from the body, the user can instead create them from the armour (without weakening it) sans handseals. The user’s chakra can diffuse into and pass through the armour, so they can slam their hands on the ground to still perform earth techniques, make contact with objects/entities to channel chakra into them (e.g. applying the Added/Light Weight techniques), techniques which form over the user’s body can instead form over the armour (e.g. Hardening), et cetera.
Note: Can only be used twice per battle
Note: Lasts for four turns (unless cancelled)
Note: No S-Rank or above Steel techniques on the turn the armour is deactivated
Note: No Fire or Earth techniques above S-Rank on the turn the armour is deactivated Note: The user can instead have this armour last indefinitely (or until it’s destroyed) but it will count as their custom weapon for that fight/event. This of course means it can only be used once rather than twice per battle.
[Katon: Gekido no Kama] - Fire Release: Rage of the Furnace
Type: Defensive/Supplementary
Rank: B
Range: N/A
Chakra: N/A (+20 chakra to the technique this is applied to)
Damage: N/A
Description: The user activates an ability that will serve to strengthen their next steel release technique used. This technique is essentially based on the idea of “tempering”, using high levels of heat to strengthen a metal beyond it’s normal limits. The infused katon chakra will serve to raise the temperature of any steel technique this is applied to for two distinct purposes. The first and foremost use is to increase it’s toughness to extent supplementary and/or defensive techniques will become capable of defending against 1 rank higher than normal (S-Rank and above techniques can defend against 20 more damage points). Aesthetically, this technique darkens the user’s steel to a pitch black colour with localized areas of red light (signifying the heat of the metal). Steam will also rise off of the body of any techniques this ability is applied to, providing yet another tell that the technique has been enhanced beyond it’s natural limits. This technique happens in the same-timeframe as the steel jutsu it's applied to. When created from the user's body, this superheated steel will not harm the user (similar to how Fire Release is released from the body). The user will not be burned if he's in contact with the tempered steel after creation as long as it originated from his body (and not the ground). This means this technique can be applied to weapons, tools and armours formed (and kept) on the user's person without being harmed.
Notes
Can only be used four times per battle
Usable on one technique per use
Can only be used on Defensive and/or Supplementary Techniques
Can only be used on two S ranks and one forbidden rank per battle
(Kōton: Fuhensei no Uther) - Steel Release: Ubiquity of Uther
Type: Supplementary
Rank: A
Range: Short
Chakra cost: N/A (+10 chakra to affected techniques)
Damage points: This is the brother technique to Pride of the Pendragons and can only be used during Glory of Galahad. The user will passively activate an innate ability of theirs for two distinct purposes. Firstly, all future earth techniques created from their steel body will be converted into steel releases ones. Techniques created via this mechanism will not differ or be affected in any way except in what they're composed/made up of (the earth armour will be made of steel rather than rock). Affected techniques become Steel Release jutsus and so their elemental strengths and weaknesses also change. Applying this ability to techniques which require maintenance such as the Stone Golem will not result in their premature termination.
The second part of this technique affects earth infusions or abilities. While this is active, the user will be capable of applying them to Steel Release techniques but must follow all other restrictions on the technique with two amendments. Essentially restrictions pertaining to "Earth" will be substituted with "Steel". Any infusions or abilities activated during this technique will instead last until Galahad ends rather than their original duration. For example, if an ability usually lasts four turns but Galahad has two turns left, it will only last for two turns.
Note: Can only be used twice per battle
Note: Lasts until Glory of Galahad ends
Note: Doesn't work with KG/CE variants of Earth Release
(Koton: Goutan no Bors) – Steel Release: Boldness of Bors
Type: Supplementary/Defensive/Offensive
Rank: B
Range: Short - Long
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: N/A (40 damage if used to attack the opponent)
Description: The user will focus their koton chakra throughout their legs to transform their feet into steel before coiling the balls of their heels into highly compact wires which form springs. To the naked eye the springs don’t differ from the user’s original heels in form or appearance barring the obvious conversion into steel. The springs can compress to the extent the user can propel themselves in any direction at the speed of an arrow fired from a compound bow. The initial transformation and the compression of the springs happens quickly enough for this jutsu to be capable of dodging techniques. This technique’s use constitutes both the transformation and the initial movements made with it, meaning dodging techniques with the use of this jutsu is perfectly feasible. However only the initial use of this jutsu can be used to evade techniques. While this is active, the user is capable of running and tracking up to the aforementioned speed but can only use Earth, Fire, Steel, any KG/CE combinations of those elements and any non-elemental abilities. Whenever the user wishes or when this technique expires, the reshaping of the user’s limbs will be reversed before the transformation into steel is undone.
Note: Lasts for a maximum of one turn
Note: Can only be used six times per battle
Note: This technique can be used during Galahad or with steel armor variations like impervious armor
(Koton: Yuudai no Geraint) – Steel Release: Grandeur of Geraint
Type: Supplementary/Defensive
Rank: S
Range: Short - Long (Each eruption is Short, successive eruptions reach up to Long)
Chakra Cost: 40
Damage Points: N/A
Description: The user will focus their koton chakra throughout their body before exploding into countless steel shards that initially scatter outwards in every direction at the speed of an arrow fired from a compound bow. All of the shards quickly move towards and converge on a new position before coming together to instantly form the user’s body exactly the way it was (reformation takes no time at all). Similar to the canon transformation technique, the initial “explosion” will release a burst of chakra in the form of a black haze rather than a white puff of smoke. The user can move up to a maximum of five meters (short-range) with this technique before their body has to come together again but this process can be repeated multiple times in quick succession through a single use of this technique. The effectiveness of this technique is magnified trine when used with “Steel Release: Corruption of the Kingdom” as the shards would instead be millions of grains. The initial but momentary scattering of every individual grain means the user can no longer be seen when travelling with this technique, nor can it be heard due to the negligible size of the steel dust unless the opponent has a doijutsu or enhanced hearing (Inner Sonar Skill). However, the user reforming their body will still be audible despite it's speed and will sound like pouring sand (like a flipped hourglass). It also won't disrupt abilities that fuse the user with techniques like Kindness of Kay or Arrogance of Agravain as they essentially become a part of or synonymous to the user's body during Galahad. The shard form can be used to attack or enter an opponent or summon ect.
Note: Lasts for a maximum of one turn per use
Note: Can only be used three times per battle two turns between each use
Note: Only steel earth and fire jutsu in the same turn and following (doesn't include nin gen tai ect)
Note: No jutsu above A rank in the turn after this is used.
Note: Cannot use any new techniques in shard form
