[Fuuin] Of Seals and Sensei

[Zaphkiel]

Hey L! Thanks for this, by the way.

 

[Detective L]

Shall we do this RP style? Or analysis?

 

[Zaphkiel]

Shall we do this RP style? Or analysis?

Analysis. Cause I'll have a lot of OOC concerns o.o

 

[Detective L]

Alright, explain to me in your own words what Fuuinjutsu is, and how you aim to employ it to your own fighting style?

 

[Zaphkiel]

Fuinjutsu is the use of chakra to create/manipulate seals and barriers. From what I gather, it is a form of Ninjutsu that generally deals with inscribing one's chakra with specific instructions into physical objects such as scrolls, the body, the ground, etc. I will be honest, Fuin has never been something I researched much (never dreamed of getting it) but I do see a regular theme with all the techniques and customs, which is the three basic rules: medium of application, trigger, and key.

Honestly. I see Fuin as more of a supplementary type technique than anything else. As such I plan to incorporate it into my fighting style as gap closer to finish combos rather than a starter or finisher. But then again, who knows, amirite?

 

[Detective L]

Not bad, but let me steal this from the Snake real quick.

A seal itself is like a dish with 6 main ingredients that come together to form it. The main object which is being sealed, the vessel it is sealed in, a trigger which initiates the seal, the object used to bind the target, chakra used to fuel the seal, and finally a key to release the seal. It sounds more complex than it really is. In practice, most of these are relatively simple.
Then, we move onto practical applications of seals. By sealing weapons, they can be more easily and quickly accessed during battle. For example, it'd be simpler to tap my wrist to summon a sword, than to draw it from my side. This can add an element of surprise to your battles, making it difficult for someone to react. You can also seal bodies, for easy storage after killing an opponent. You can seal incoming techniques, you can seal explosions and release them as the opponent nears, you can seal skills of the opponent, his chakra, limbs, etc. The possibilities are almost endless.

And this is my explanation on it.

Fuuinjutsu entails the process of sealing. This is basically an art, or method, to seal chakra, weapons, intangible elements like Fire and Lightning, inside a seal. Basically, these things, are taken into the seal, despite their size or whatever, and "hang" in another "realm" for the lack of a better word. Not only can things be sealed into seals, but also be brought out of them like weapons for example. I've seen some seals, that if triggered by a specific stimuli, activate and then automatically release whatever is inside it. However, things can also be sealed into some other things, like tattoos, or even more solid like objects, like weapons, I think, Overall, the premise is very simple, sealing of things, and also bringing things from where they were sealed in order to use it in battle. Some seals can be used to contain chakra, limit an opponent's use of chakra, like that seal used on Naruto by Orochimaru. It has a bunch of uses overall. I've seen seals that are able to release people from Genjutsu, release and maintain chakra, and even limit people to certain elements (shoutout Zanda).

Its a pretty versatile skill though. Read through the explanations, and when you are ready, we shall embark on the journey that is Fuuinjutsu.

 

[Zaphkiel]

I've read them both, and now I realise my explanation is utter turd compared to them. It appears I had no knowledge of Fuin whatsoever. Nothing to panic about though, those two blurbs were very informative.

Sealing people's bodies/chakra through contact needs Medical Ninjutsu knowledge though

Anyway, ready for the journey. I brought snacks

 

[Detective L]

The custom ones now, but the ones of before (insert evil laugh). Nonetheless, let us begin. I want us to thoroughly go through the techniques so we'll start with one, and go a bit more later. I will explain the technique briefly, and I want you to go in-depth.

Rank: B-Rank
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short- Mid
Chakra cost: 20 (- 10 per turn to keep active)
Damage points: N/A
Description: After clapping ones hands, this technique creates a spherical detection barrier above ground with the user at the center. At the user's command, the detection barrier can expand, grasping everything in the battle field. The user is able to detect anything that moves inside the barrier space with his or her own "sense".

A simple technique, where you will first clap your hands together, and create a spherical barrier above ground, with you at its center. The barrier expands to mid range all around you at your command, and is able to detect whatever moves inside the barrier, acting as a sense of yours. It lasts as long as you keep it active. Pretty useful if you ain't got no sensory.

"The user is able to detect anything that moves."

That's very helpful, I must say. This would be perfect in the case my vision has been comprised like within the Hidden Mist Jutsu, or when my opponent gets sneaky with backdoor techniques >.> One question though, is this barrier like intangible or will an incoming technique destroy it?

 

[Detective L]

Its an intangible barrier that spreads outwards real fast.

Rank: B-Rank
Type: Attack
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: 40
Description: Kekkai Houjin is a high-level Fuuinjutsu trap technique. An array of explosive markers is jointly placed around the boundary of an area. If any opponent walks through the boundary, the seals will activate and explode.

Okay, this technique is a more of a trap like technique where you will place an array of explosive markers around a certain boundary area. If the opponent walks into said boundary, the seals will activate and create an explosion. Very simple.

 

[Zaphkiel]

Wow. Fast and intangible. I like it.

This is pretty simple indeed. Personally I'll be making sure to hide this bad boy almost every time I use it. Reason being is 'cause in this day and age everybody is brimming at 200 IQ, able to spot even distortions in the air. I'm talking specifically about using it with this:

(Fuda Kakusu no Jutsu) Tag Hidding Technique

Spoiler

Type: Supplementary
Rank: C-Rank
Range: Short
Chakra: 5 (per tag)
Damage: N/A
Description:
The user will use his chakra to hide a paper tag inside an inanimate object, like the ground or a wall. The tag can be a sealing tag or an explosive tag. The technique can be used to hide more than one tag per use if the user spends more chakra. Hidden tags can be detected by doujutsu or expert sensory ninjas.

 

[Detective L]

Good, and add a bit more on how you'd use it.

Rank: B-Rank
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: N/A
Description: The user will insert their chakra into a active barrier to then interfere with the source and cancel the barrier shattering its shell.
Note: Must make direct contact and only works with up to B rank barriers.

SEE A BARRIER AND WANT TO TAKE IT DOWN?!?!?! LOOOOOK NO FURTHER THANN.....^ this. You insert your chakra into an active barrier, and as such, you chakra will mess with the source, and cancel the barrier, shattering it. However, it requires direct contact and only works with up to B rank barriers.

Type: Defensive/Supplementary
Rank: B-rank
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: N/A
Description: The user will take a tag marked with the kanjis 障害 (Shōgai) and either place it on a weapon (like wrapped around a kunai's handle) or on a surface (like the ground). Upon doing so, a defensive spherical barrier is erected around the tag as a seal. The barrier can be used to defend against up to B-Rank ninjutsu but also be used to contain an enemy inside if feasible.

Now this technique, is pretty smart. Place a tag with the Kanji, Shogai on a weapon, or the ground, and create a spherical barrier around said weapon, or area. This can defend up to B rank Ninjutsu. Pretty useful if you're smart.

 

[Zaphkiel]

I'd use it to rig my Kage Palace's doors. Can never be too safe these days kun:

So basically this is an anti-barrier spell technique that requires physical contact with said barrier, pretty simple but neat. But what if the barrier is offensive to the tough, like the Uchiha Flame Battle Encampment Barrier that burns anything it touches? If it were a B ranked barrier I'm guessing you'd have to sacrifice an arm?

And now this Tag Barrier. If I put this on a kunai and threw it at a B ranked elemental tech it could hypothetically travel through, spending the barrier in the process, and meet its mark all the same, no? Hmm, this really depends on the user's creativity to come to full potential and I like that. Not many canon techs leave this much room for the imagination. And what do you mean if I'm smart?!

 

[Detective L]

Offensive barriers would make it pretty difficult to touch it, so I'd say it wouldn't work then z,z And are you smart? The true questions.

(Mugen Hōyō) - Infinate Embrace

Spoiler

Rank: B-Rank
Type: Offensive
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra cost: 20 (-50 per turn to the target, +30 to user)
Damage points: N/A
Description: The user slams his hands on the ground and generates a special barrier that surrounds the target forming a "cuboid" construct of pink chakra which begins draining the chakra of the target caught inside. This technique can be used in conjunction with shadow rope technique or other restrictive techniques to further hinder the target. Once caught inside it, the target cannot mold chakra above S-rank and the barrier itself can only be broken by B-Rank techniques or by attacking the user of the technique.

A really cool technique where you slam your hand onto the ground, and generate a barrier that surrounds the opponent in a cuboid construct, pink in color. This barrier drains the opponent's chakra, and hinders them from molding chakra above S rank, and the barrier is merely broken by a B rank technique, or attacking the user of the barrier.

(Fuuinjutsu: Kami Komyunikēshon) Sealing Arts: Scroll Communication technique

Spoiler

Type: Supplementary
Rank: B-Rank
Range: N/A
Chakra: 20
Damage: N/A
Description:
The user will create 2 or more scrolls with an embedded sealing formula that connects them all together. As such, anything written in one scroll will appear written in all the connected scrolls. A very useful communication technique, it can connect scrolls regardless of the distance between them. To activate the scroll, the user needs to perform a key of hand seals that will be unique for each creation and only known to those the user wishes, preventing the use of the scrolls by those the user doesn't allow.

SMS of the NW, where you will create two scrolls or more, with an embedded sealing formula that connects the scrolls together. So whatever is written in one scroll, will come forth in the other scrolls connected. To be activated, unique hand seals are formed, so only the user and those with the other scrolls know it.

 

[Zaphkiel]

"Infinate" Someone needs to...someone needs to get on that :|

Pretty simple when you think about it. A barrier that weighs down on the opponent while draining their chakra and taking some of it to the user. The barrier in itself simply creates a controlled environment of chakra pressure while affecting the chakra system of those caught inside, restricting them to S ranked and below techs. I guess this is a streaming technique that requires me to keep focus so by attacking me I will be forced to abandon it and defend, breaking the technique.

This is very nice to keep communication with allies over vast distances. And with the special "passcode" to activate the scroll makes it even more secure, like an encrypted line of the sorts. Nothing much about this one.

 

[Detective L]

Good, and I'll ask Adachi to fix that z,z

Rank: B-Rank
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: N/A
Description: A basic sealing technique where the user places one or more tags either directly on a target or on a technique which is restraining it. As its placed, a sealing formula spreads around the technique or the target, sealing it. This technique has been seen used with Sand ninjutsu, Earth, Water, Wood, Cloth Ninjutsu, etc but basically any technique in which you can apply the tags can be used. In the case of expert ninjas, the tags might even be incorporated into the restraining technique, with no need to actually manually place the tag or tags. Additionally, less experienced ninjas can find that throwing one or more kunais with the sealing tags attached at the technique which will trigger the same effect when the kunais stick on the technique. This prevents the target from moving, molding chakra or even being summoned.
Note: The seal takes a while to form, so most opponents can either counter the restraining technique (thus preventing the sealing formula of taking effect) or rip off the tags from themselves negating its effects entirely. If the target, however, fails to counter the restraining technique or is counter to it fails or if he doesn't remove the tags in his next move, then the seal will fully be placed and the target unable to release himself.
Note: This technique is specially designed to be used on summons and Edo Tensei Summons but will work on any opponent except Jinchurikiis.

An interesting technique where you will place a tag on a target, which will then cause a sealing formula to spread from it and aim to seal the target. This stops the opponent from moving, molding chakra and even stop something from being summoned. It takes a turn to fully affect a target though.

Rank: B-Rank
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: N/A
Description: The user places this seal on the forehead of a Jinchuuriki influenced by the powers of a Bijuu, to forcibly cause the Bijuu's powers to recede. The Jinchuuriki becomes exhausted after this happens.
Note: This can only restrict Jinchuuriki in their Incomplete form, not when they completely transform into the Bijuu.

This is exclusively for Jinchuuriki in their incomplete form. You will place a tag on their forehead, causing their powers to recede, which causes exhaustion. Pretty simple.

 

[Zaphkiel]

Both techniques are pretty generic in their own rights, as such I don't have much questions about them.

I really liked the fact that the Sealing Tags technique can be used almost passively along with a restraining technique on the opponent though. I feel that is the ultimate advantage for a canon technique.

We may move on when you're ready

 

[Detective L]

Good job, though elaborate a bit more. I know you like writing.

Rank: B-Rank
Type: Supplementary , Defensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: N/A
Description: This technique is a standard ninja skill which allows a ninja to summon an assortment of items or weapons that have been stored using Fūinjutsu,typically they are stored within scrolls. When needed, the owner will activate the seals releasing their item or weapon of choice. Scrolls can also be used as ammunition for other weapons. The items themselves are unaffected by time. This Technique allows the user to seal any weapons they wish being their own or opponents.
Note: Cannot seal opponent's custom weapons, or the special weapons of a particular character ( example: Samehada or Kubikiribocho ).
Note: Can only seal corpses, and not injured people regardless of the extent of their injury.

With this technique, you will be able to summon items stored within scrolls like weapons. The items stored within the scrolls are not affected by time, and your own weapons or the opponent's weapons can be sealed (Not CWs or 7SM, or a special weapon of a character). This technique is mostly used to seal corpses for Edo Tensei, for example.

Rank: B-Rank
Type: Offensive, Defensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: 40
Description: The user places a seal on a chosen location which when an enemy target draws closer to the seal it will release itself in activation to the enemy’s chakra and cause an explosion.

An awesome technique, where you will place a seal on a certain location, and once the opponent draws closer, it will release itself. This causes an explosion that is basically triggered by the opponent's chakra.

Rank: B-Rank
Type: Supplementary
Range: Close
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: N/A
Description: When the opponent is trapped inside a container of some sort, the user places five sealing tags, on each side of the container forming a rough pentagon shape. The opponent is then locked in suspended animation for one turn.
Note: If the opponent escapes the container or shatters it before all the tags are placed, he avoids the technique fully.

A weird technique where if the opponent is in some container of sorts, you will place five sealing tags on each side of the container. This causes the opponent to be locked in suspension for a turn. Pretty useless if you ask me, unless for RP purposes.

 

[Zaphkiel]

So the Generic Sealing technique is by all means the base of Fuinjutsu, if I'm reading this correctly. Also, sealed items being unaffected by time...I have a question. Say I was in a mode like Sage Mode, and I have only 1 turn left, and someone sealed me away. If I'm ever unsealed would my 1 turn left be up immediately or would I still have the next turn left?

Damn that sounds confusing. Basically, if I'm unsealed I'd have two turns to do my Sage Mode business being the turn I'm unsealed and my turn I had left. Is that right?

But moving on though. Sealing Trap Explosion is your classic ambush type tech. Pretty neat. Question: can I tailor it to explode to a specific chakra signal or will it explode as soon as foreign chakra comes near? The reason why I ask is because I was thinking, what if my opponent has all these clones, summons, etc around and my seal goes off on them instead of him/her the target?

Yea this last tech isn't resonating with me either. WAY too specific and easily countered. But, I'm under Training Oath to pass my two cents on it. And my opinion is: it's trash. I might use it though simply for theatrical flair. But in a battle? Nah.

Wew, Generic sealing is just for sealing weapons and corpses, not living beings or injured people o-o. As for your second question, any foreign chakra will trigger it, so it has to be placed well. And yeah, that tech is crap.

Rank: B-Rank
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: N/A
Description: The user takes out a scroll, and writes the name of the element they wish to seal in it. They then make four handseals, and a vapour comes out of the scroll, envelops the technique they wish to seal and seals it back into the scroll.
Note: This technique can only seal one technique up to S-rank per usage
Note: This technique may be used only thrice.

A technique where you will take out a scroll, and write a name of the element you wish to seal into it (of the basic 5). You will then form 4 hand seals, and vapour comes out of the scroll, and seals said element into it from an attack.

Rank: B-Rank
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra cost: N/A (-5 per tool/weapon)
Damage points: N/A
Description: This is a special "ninja tool summon" that allows the user to seal basic ninja tools, like shurikens, kunais, swords, etc into sealing marks placed on their clothes or their body. The ninja tools can be summoned in an instant just by touching the sealing "marks". The greatest advantage of this technique is that the time between taking out a ninja tool, taking the right stance and actually throwing it is greatly reduced and one can unleash a barrage of weapons with great speed in a small time window. Also when a weapon such as a Fūma Shuriken is summoned, the time needed to throw it can be further shortened by having prepared the weapon in fully extended form beforehand. Sasuke even shown that you can have the weapons connected to wires and linked to their sealing marks and used the technique in sealing marks he placed in his wrist bracers.
Note: Can summon up to 30 basic tools per sealing mark and can have up to 2 sealing marks.

A useful technique where you will place sealing marks either on your clothes or body, and from it, summon forth a basic weapon to aid you in battle. Sasuke originally did this summon forth from Ninja Wire, to Kunai, shuriken and even a basic swords. Its faster than retrieving the weapon from your pouch and makes for some great moves with a sword as well. Only basic weapons though.

Rank: A-Rank
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short - Long
Chakra cost: 30 (-10 per turn remaining active)
Damage points: N/A
Description: This is a detection type barrier which is simply a more advanced version of the (Kekkai: Tengai Hojin) - Barrier: Dome Method Formation technique and that can be used to surround an area and allows the user to monitor a certain area covering from the sky to underneath the ground creating a sphere. The user will create a tag with the 許可 (Kyoka) Kanji and place it on the ground, doing the confrontation hand seal afterwards to activate it. After the barrier is erected, the user, if inside it, will be able to detect any enemy inside it, even if he hiding his presence. After that, anyone who enters or leaves the barrier is instantly detected as well as anything that moves inside it. Techniques that mask the users presence are ineffective at avoiding detection as the barrier focuses on movement and displacement of matter, not solely on chakra detection. The barrier can also be moved according to the requirements of the user by moving the tag.
Note: Can only be used twice.

An advanced version of Dome Method Formation, where you will create a tag with the Kanii, Kyoka. It will then be placed on the ground, and you will form the confrontation hand seal to activate it. The barrier allows you to sense whatever is inside it. Elaborate a bit on it.
