[Ninjutsu] Shinta

[Shinta]

So the idea of the shadow shuriken would be that the top one serves as a distraction while the second sits in its shadow, this way when your clone moves to deflect the top shuriken the one in its shadow would strike him. Even if he realizes that the shadow is still there he would not have the time to react as the two shurikens are traveling at the same time but at differing heights.

 

[Adachi]

Excellent. You also point in a few good points about the height of the Shuriken and perhaps mention the angle next time (e.g. above the head, towards the chest, eyelevel).

(Kage Shuriken no Jutsu) - Shadow Shuriken Technique
Rank: D
Type:Attack
Range:Short-Mid
Chakra Cost:15
Damage Points:20
Description: Kage Shuriken no Jutsu is a Ninjutsu technique utilizing a giant Windmill Shuriken. When throwing the shuriken, the ninja will also throw a second giant shuriken to hide in the shadow of the first. The hidden secondary shuriken can then approach the target without their being aware.

Now, send your chakra out at me and proceed to immobilize me with it.

 

[Shinta]

Good point, I'll remember to point out the trajectory next time.

As I take note of your location I begin to focus my chakra and then release it out through the air, focusing it towards your location. Once it makes contact with you I manipulate it to enter your body and target you major muscle groups and the connecting nerves, constricting there movement and responses so that you are unable to move. All the while I continue to release chakra to maintain the flow and keep my hold over your body.

 

[Adachi]

Very good, I had one guy send out his chakra like a blanket to immobilize me.
The major muscle groups would be in the hands and the feet, the two main places we ninjas rely on to battle appropriately. By tying their hands down, they would be unable to form seals for jutsus while paralyzing their legs results in constricting their entire movement. These two places would make for easy and swift target areas when immobilizing with this jutsu. ^_^

(Kanashibari no Jutsu) - Temporary Body Paralysis Technique
Rank: D
Type:Supplementary
Range:Short-Mid

Damge Points:N/A
Description: Kanashibari no Jutsu is an advanced Ninjutsu technique used to temporarily bind an individual or animal. With the person frozen in place, the ninja can either take the opportunity to attack or to retreat.

Alright, now let's say you were trapped in your house with a murderer and you can't escape. O_O Describe the psychological impacts this has on you.

 

[Shinta]

Well, being trapped like that would make someone feel helpless, maybe even claustrophobic (Being trapped and what not) all the while being terrified of the moment you are found. During this you would also be fixated on just the one thing, when the murderer would find you. Potentials ways to continue evading the murderer would be filling you head, as well as ways to maybe overpower them but still with the almost immobilising fear of the murders presence.

O_O I'm not sure where you are going with this...


*Locks the doors to my house*

*Covers him in a blanket of chakra* haha

 

[Adachi]

Haha, I meant to bring up several issues with this brainstorm.
- Fear, which is a huge psychological impact. Fear causes a person to lose rationalizing abilities and also whatever thoughts they may have on mind. According to the Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, safety is the first level, thus, the opponent would be unable to think of anything but their safety.
- Stress, a part of fear, also causes blood pressure to rise, resulting in labored breathing and exhaustion.

So, now, build up within yourself an intent to kill, just like what Orochimaru did against Naruto and Sasuke in the first series when Orochimaru pretended to be a sound ninja.
Replicate the effect.

 

[Shinta]

I see where you're going now xd

Within my mind, I take on the mind of a murderer with no other intention but to kill. I express this through a relaxed, playful grip on my kunai and a slightly twisted smile as I look directly into your eyes as I flaunt my kunai in front of you. As I slowly step closer to you I continue to keep this murderous mindset as I maintain eye contact with you as I continue to show my ever twisted smile and the kunai in my hand, making it clear that the kunai is meant as a tool for your death.

This is a hard one to type out, but seeing someone come at me like above would definitely cause me to panic and trigger my fight or flight response.

 

[Adachi]

Okay, whoa, that's a little creepy there. O_O
Was somewhat reminded of the Joker from Batman.

(Sakki) - Killing Intent
Rank: D - S
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short - Long
Chakra cost: 10 - 40
Damage points: N/A
Description: Killing Intent is simply the user giving off their pure killing intention, and having it affect their opponent and others around them up to the point of paralyzing them. When the Killing Intent is particularly strong, it can even give the victim visions of their own gruesome death. This can cause the Killing Intent to be confused with a genjutsu, despite not being a genjutsu at all.
Note: Intensity of technique depends on the rank of the user

I explained the impact of the smoke bomb earlier.
Now, use one, but while you do, make sure you are quiet in your movements.
Lay out Makishibi (caltrops) upon the ground.
Explain what would happen if my clone works all over them.
Make sure you explain how you spread the Makishibi. How far would you spread them, in what area of the battlefield, and approximately how many you place down. Not to mention the speed and timeframe it would take you to do this.

 

[Shinta]

The Joker was the best image I could come up with for the Sakki xd

I'm going to say is would work better if the opponent was also within the smoke cloud, else why will blow away the smoke and see the spike on the ground around me as it wouldn't be sneaky if I spread them outside the smoke cloud. Would that be right?
As I drop a smoke bomb, it creates a cloud of dark smoke that encompasses both of us. While your clone is unable to see me I quietly toss on the ground around you a spread of Makishibi trying to keep them within about 20cm of each other, making sure that they are definitely within reach if your clone takes a step to the sides or towards me. About 20 all up now surround your clones immediate area and by the time the smoke is almost cleared they have all been placed.
As your clone tries to take a step towards my, while I step back slightly, he would step on at least one. Due to the shape of the spike it would easily pierce through his foot creating a 1cm diameter hole in his foot (if he pulls them out) where ever they pierce.

I think that causing a rock pillar to rise up and push him from behind would cause him to fall onto the spikes causing more damage than just stepping on them.

 

[Adachi]

Very well done. Remember that you must state that your movements are extremely quiet when using this jutsu as to not alert your opponent that you are doing this.
By simply using Makishibi to cover the ground also forces your opponent to stay off it, thus disabling them usage of any jutsus that require them to touch the ground. Very helpful against people who rely on Taijutsu.

(Kage Makibishi no Jutsu) - Shadow Makibishi Technique
Rank: D
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short - Long
Chakra cost: N/A
Damage points: 10
Description: A simple ninja technique in which the user deploys a smoke bomb and is used to lay down the makibishi undercover so that the enemy target will not notice. This technique is used to cause some damage and slow the enemy target down when they stand on them.

Okay, next, just release your chakra to create an image of the clone.
However, DO not give them physical substance, so that when my clone attempts to punch it, his hand would simply go through it.
Describe the purpose of this jutsu and how you can combo it with a move.

 

[Shinta]

I begin by gathering up my chakra where I release it into the air, concentrating it next to me. With a mental image of myself ready to go I shape the chakra into an exact replica of my image, being sure to copy all the nuances of my face and clothes, while I also make him appear in the same stance that I am taking. I only give the image enough chakra to be nothing more that an image, no shadow is present on the ground and a leaf falls straight through him.

O_O

If your clone hasn't noticed what it is yet, he will punch it and stumble thought it being caught safeguard by its lack of physical substance. During this moment I take the opportunity to strike at him with a kunai.

The purpose of this jutsu is to serve as a distraction by placing several of these around your opponent, possibly in a mist creating by me using the Hidden Mist jutsu. While the opponent gets frustrated and dumbfounded by the images, I can set up a finishing blow or at least a powerful attack that would catch the opponent off guard.

 

[Adachi]

Excellent! It is best used as a feint, luring your opponent to excess moves to attack him (even better if he actually uses out of three available jutsu slots), and even better is that you can create many of them! (Though, according to the rules, creating four would be suitable enough or things would get suspicious). You can also mix them in with real Shadow Clones.

(Oboro Bunshin no Jutsu) – Haze Clone Technique
Rank: D
Type: Supplementary
Range: Long
Chakra cost: 10
Damage N/A
Description: Haze clone technique is like the regular clone technique in creating intangible clones, although these clones will let the enemy go through them. The Sharingan can see through the illusions. However these clones cannot cause any damage as they are illusions only.

For this next jutsu, remember what I said about kunais.
Proceed to begin tossing kunais at a rapid speed towards my clone. (Mid range max.)

 

[Shinta]

Would I be able to create four haze clones and four shadow clones, or is it just 4 clones at any given time allowed in play?

I begin by taking aim at you clone, who is standing at mid-range to me. I then begin to rapidly throw kunais at your clone, firstly by tossing three normal kunais at his upper chest and then one with a fake explosive tagged kunai at the left side of his head. I continue to throw many kunai at him right side as he would have had to jump to the right to avoid the possible explosion. Within this last flurry of kunais I throw an explosive tagged kunai at his feet that detonates as several more kunai are thrown at his chest.

 

[Adachi]

You would be able to create more than four Haze clones, that's for sure, the only problem there is that the opponent could easily reason that there should be no more than four clones allowed, thus, being able to say that they are fake.

This is a very straightforward jutsu, and I have already went over with you the basics of Ninja Tools, thus, there is nothing more needed to be said. The second one is just like Shadow Shuriken Jutsu and is up to you to come up with more creative ways to use tools on strings, but I hope you realize the importance of Ninja Tools during battle now.

(Ninpo: Kakuu no mai ) - Ninja Art: Arrial Dance

(Sōshuriken no Jutsu) - Manipulated Shuriken Techique
Rank: D
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short - Long
Chakra cost: N/A
Damage points: 15
Description: With this technique a translucent string, both elastic and highly durable, is attached to a shuriken, making it possible to alter its path after having thrown it. An expert will have the ability to freely glide the shuriken in any direction with just a single movement of their fingertip. The first attack, challenging the enemy, is avoided and after a time-lag of several seconds, it will come from behind. Depending on the performance, the possible tactics can be infinite.

Now, this next jutsu is rather straightforward.
Proceed to walk up to my clone and lay your hand on him. Begin to absorb his chakra.
Describe the impact it has on both you and him.

 

[Shinta]

I get what we mean with the clones now, I'll have to keep that in mind.

I definitely see the importance of such simple things like ninja tools, they have the potential to add greater depth to the standard "I shoot a jutsu to counter yours and shoot another one at you" moves.

As I reach your clone and extend my hand out, placing it on his shoulder, I begin to channel a little chakra into the area to start forcing it into my own chakra network. As I continue to drain chakra I can see in you clones face start to look weary all the while I start to feel stronger and more energetic. By the looks of him I'd say his next move or two would be slower than normal and he may not be able to do a higher ranked jutsu in the immediate future, where as my next move may be able to pack a bit more punch.

 

[Adachi]

Very good. And because a clone is made of chakra itself, what would happen when you've completely absorbed all of his chakra?

 

[Shinta]

Once I've absorbed all of the clones chakra, it would simply disperse leaving me replenished and you with one less clone... Until you make more that is xd

 

[Adachi]

Well said.

(Chakura Kyūin no Jutsu) - Chakra Absorption Technique
Rank: C
Type: Offensive, Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra cost: N/A
Damage points: (-15 per turn remaining in contact with target)
Description: The user can absorb the opponents chakra by direct contact with them and replenishing their own. while simultaneously exhausting the opponent's physical energy and limiting the techniques that they can perform. (No S rank in the same turn)

Now, focus upon your own chakra and how it flows throughout your body.
Then, try and suppress it by slowing it down to the point where I would not be able to detect your chakra signature.

 

[Shinta]

As I begin to focus on my chakra flow, I take note of its flow throughout my system paying attention to how fast and how much chakra there is. I now begin to reduce the flow of chakra, by restricting its flow through my chakra points so that it effectively come to the point that my chakra signal would not be detectable. I now feel slightly sluggish and I don't think that I'd be able to perform many jutsu while I'm suppressing my chakra.

 

[Adachi]

Alright, well done.
Think of a strategy you can implement during battle with this.
Also, furthermore, which Doujutsus does this not have an effect on?
