Description: The Kemono no Yoroi is a set of armor that is made up of the same chakra-reactive alloy found in ordinary weaponry used in the Ninja World. The armor is made up of a set of chain mail which can be hidden below the user's clothes, two Sodes (the shoulder armor that is usually used by Samurai), and two gauntlets. The power of the armor comes from its ability to hold chakra to increase the user's Taijutsu and Kenjutsu abilities. The armor itself can be infused with chakra in order to increase the defensive capabilities, reducing the damage form attacks slightly, and increasing the mass of the armor suddenly in order to stop blades in their paths (the concept of Momentum can explain how the increase in mass is able to help defend against attacks, Momentum = Mass x velocity and when undergoing a transfer of momentum, the mass is increased so the velocity is reduced and the oncoming attack's affects are also reduced). The chain mail also slightly increases in volume so that when a blade comes in for a thrust, it can be used to block it without it going through the openings in the armor. The increase in volume is only slight however and won't block very small weaponry like needles. The defensive properties of the armor allow the user to become highly resistant to basic ninjutsu attacks, attacks from weaponry and taijutsu, and blunt attacks from Earth jutsu. The armor's gauntlets can also be infused with chakra to slightly increase the phsyical damage the user can deal with fist-based taijutsu, by increasing the velocity by exerting a small amount of chakra from the end of the gauntlets, as well as keep a better grip on their weaponry by applying chakra that causes the finger-wraps to become sticky to the hilt of the blade but also easily maneuverable for the user. The increase in fist-based taijutsu with the gauntlets plus being able to increase the mass allows the user to be able to break bones by exerting more Kinetic Energy on impact.
~Usable by Samurai and Shinobi. It is usable by Samurai because they have been obviously trained in the usage of Chakra Control, being able to control the size and shapes of their Samurai Sabre blades, and also being able to exert chakra out of their blades.
~The increase in mass can only be used twice and lasts for a maximum of one turn but can be deactivated by the user at anytime.
~The increase in speed by the gauntlets can only be used four times (To be able to break the opponent's bones, they have to have both the increase in mass and the increase in speed active at the same time). The grip effect lasts as long as the user wears the gauntlets.
~The armor can be used to block blunt, physical attacks such as small earth, water, wood, and other jutsu (D-Rank). While its mass is increased, it can block physical, blunt C-rank of earth, water, wood, and other jutsu.
