Custom element Japanese name: Mūndasuton
Custom element English name: Moondust Release
The element is based on: Earth + Lightning + Wind + Chakra Control
Facts that prove the element to be possible (in the manga context):
The manipulation of finely grounded materials has been depicted numerous times throughout the Narutoverse. Elements such as Sand, Iron Sand, and Gold Dust are all very related as they utilize the user's chakra to manipulate the material into different shapes and forms and generate more of these substances as needed during battle. Although these elements are related however, they are all have their own distinct properties that make them different. We have also seen how much a part that celestial objects have played throughout the Naruto series. The series has clearly depicted the Moon having been created through the use of chakra and ninjutsu. Objects have also been seen being pulled from space down to Earth such as when Madara summoned two meteors using Ninjutsu that were capable of wiping out a large portion of the Allied Shinobi forces. In the filler episodes, the Star Clan were known to manipulate the chakra from a meteorite that crashed to Earth using it to empower themselves and preformed advanced ninjutsu. It is within these elements that Moondust Release as well as the manipulation of material from space is not only possible but, apparent throughout the series.
How it works:
Moondust Release is the generation and manipulation of the fine materials of the moon's surface. As the moon was created from the surface material of Earth, the user is able to create an abundance of this element through the intricate use of chakra. The properties of this dust differ significantly from that of its terrestrial counterpart. To create Moondust, the user will use Lightning chakra to vibrate the particles within the Earth or those created via their Earth chakra. This not only reduces the earthen material down to a particle state but also electrically charges those particles. Simultaneously during this process, the Earth material is constantly bombarded with the user's wind chakra through a vacuum effect which not only dries out the earth, but constantly cuts the particles at the microscopic level. This results in recreation of the conditions the moon's surface is subjected to as the removal of all organic material from the dust is increased through the user's chakra during the creation process. What's left is jagged, very dry, and electrically charged particles which serves as an effective recreation of the moon's regolith, the layer of loose material that covers rock on the Moon. Moondust is many times more chemically reactive than Earth due to the removal of organic material. Because of it's inherent electrical charge, it also has the ability to cling to any surface it may come in contact with. The electrical charge of this dust when used properly has the unique ability to disrupt the opponent's technological devices, being one rank stronger than them, the electrically charged particles being drawn to the objects in reference. As the dust sticks to objects, it clumps together while the abrasive jagged edges of the dust particles cuts through materials at a microscopic level, causing objects to seemingly corrode away. This corrosive nature is signified by the gritty feeling the dust has as it clings to objects. If the dust were to be inhaled, it can create respiratory issues within the opponent. Moondust appears as dull gray-white substance and is clearly visible due to this appearance.
Jutsu Usage Examples:
Moondust Release | Dark of the Moon
Rank: A
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short - Long
Chakra: 30 (+10 per turn)
Damage: +10 per turn
Description: The user will generate an abundance of Moondust which spreads throughout the battlefield. This dust is excellent at locating targets otherwise invisible to the user's visual perception as the generated dust sticks to foreign objects that comes in contact with it. Objects that encounter this material are discomforted by the gritty nature of the dust, as it slices into them at the microscopic level causing pain.
Note:
Last 3 turns
Moondust Release | One Small Step
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra: 20
Damage: N/A (+10 to tai)
Description: A technique used when preforming chakraless taijutsu, the user will generally step in the direction of thier opponent in which a cloud of moondust is released during the step. This blinds the opponent to the oncoming strike as the dust follows the user's taijutsu, doing additional damage while making it impossible to follow the user movements.
Conditions to be able to use it:
Mastery of Earth, Wind and Lightning.
Must be Jonin Rank
Is weak to:
- Wind Release is capable of blowing away the particles of Moondust rendering the techniques ineffective.
- Moondust is many times more chemically reactive than it's Earth counterpart. This mean Fire Release and fire based elements are capable of igniting Moondust and rendering it useless, as it burns away harmlessly.
Is strong against:
- The abrasiveness of Moondust particles is enough to wear down Earth Release and other solid elements causing them to break down into dust themselves and generally creating more material to be used for Moondust Release.
- The dryness of Moondust particles absorbs moisture significantly, this causes Water Release techniques and other liquids to be harmlessly soaked up and negated as they encounter Moondust.
- The electrical charge of Moondust not only makes it a natural counter to Lightning Release, but it also has the ability to counteract technological devices one rank higher than the technique's rank as the electrical charges of Moondust clings to these devices without fail and renders them unusable. For example, a S-rank technology could be disrupted by A-rank Moondust, etc.
