We stand, mid-range apart, in the plaza of an isolated village. Our mid-range circumference is the plaza, and anywhere long-range are huts and homes.

I will be using Toshiro, you can use whichever bio. Open to any rank, as long as you can provide a good story!
You can also have the first move.

Also, i haven't done this in a while so I quite literally do not know the rules. Sorry if I mess up over stupid things.

Alright, Hokusei I’m assigning this mission. The village up until recently had been abandoned, and reports say that a rouge of hostile Fallen Knight had been reported at the sight. It’s unclear if they are responsible for this incident, but if meet with them do not hesitate to be hostile, but only use lethal methods if absolutely needed. Do I make myself clear?” the higher up questioned the recruit whom had agreed to take the mission.

After her briefing, Hokusei would teleport towards the location as she came equipped with all her materials and other needed things – it was true, the village truly had been abandoned but the atmosphere felt, fresh. It’s as though people where just here the other day and suddenly vanished into thin air but she had stuff to attend to as she began to walk through the outskirts, taking out her sketch book she began to draw samples of the unique buildings she can use as reference for future works of art while investigating the incident. “Hmm, as much as I’m inspired by these designs…they will feel bland.

She said to herself, her pencil tapping on her sketch book as she wondered aimless within the village but alas this lead her into the central plaza – which she bumped into a pole. She started to tear up, her nose now hurting as she looked around now aware of her surroundings until she saw someone in the distance. She was cautious in her movement, not wanting to startle him as she now placed her sketch book away and taking out a small ink brush alongside placing her ink supplies located in her ninja pouch to her sides so it’s easier to access.

Excuse me, but can you help me learn about this place? I’ve recently heard rumors about it being abandoned but I never imagined that it actually was, but I got lost and started just drawing some sketches of the architect.

She said, while it seemed like she lied it was all the truth, but Hokusei had a way with words and twisting them to sound unsuspicious as she smiled genuinely. She would however, with the use her main ink brush located in her hair in which she uses it like a pin to keep her bun in place – now releasing a wave of chakra into the terrain but unseen by the male – simply gaining unique form of sensory. This also due to her body being covered in ink tattoos she would be an epic center for her technique. She curiously took note of the terrain surrounding her, making sure no obstructions where in her way or any by standers in the event a fight broke out.
(Fugaku Sanjūroku-kei) Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji
Type: Weapon
Rank: S
Range: N/A
Chakra: N/A
Damage: N/A
Description: Sanjūroku-kei is a rather uniquely designed weapon, specifically for that of the artist named Foreigner in order to enhance her art in the heat of a battle. It takes the form primarily as giant paint brush - but it has the passive ability of being able to shift it's form into a vastly smaller brush when needed. Depsite this, the shaft and bristles of the brush are light weight - allowing her to wield her weapon with ease while also being made of indestructible material but lacks the means of being able defend against ranked jutsu. It can however deflect freeform bases techniques such as freeform taijutsu, kenjutsu etc.

Art of Nature - The true nature of the brush comes in when Inoūi attempts to draw a work of art utilizing the brush, through the use of ink tattoos, ink in general or even when using them from the scroll. The brush will siphon a minor amount of chakra from her through physical contact and take that, pushing the extra chakra into the user's ink based techniques increasing the offensive power of jutsu - passively increasing the rank by one or +20 to S ranks and above. Techniques that have no damage value will then instead gain +20 defensive power instead thus allowing her works of art to be sturdier in clashes. This is a passive ability and requires no input from the user but does require the brush to be in physical contact or within one meter of the owner in order to be utilized.

Heart of Imagery - Is another passive skill that works in tandem with the ink brush as it acts as a sort of beacon. This allows it to leak out chakra into the area up to long range, allowing the user a unique form of sensory as it allows them to detect any sort of ink source (or any sort of ink) within the area as well as anything that is near the ink (within close range proximity). While this is passively activated - it drains the user of - 5 per turn to sustain.

N.B Weapon is in small form, Katsushika Ōi in signature.

A silhouette slowly approached slowly. Toshiro stood silently.

As the figure crept, soon enough, Toshiro could identify distinguishing characteristics. The individual before him was a female with short hair, pale skin, and evinced a childlike charm that made her almost... unthreatening. She stopped after running into a pole and finally took note of the man before her. "Is she dumb, or is she just naturally unaware of her surroundings...?" Toshiro thought to himself, completely forgetting about the fact that she was one of two people in an abandoned village. Perhaps she truly was a lost wanderer -- regardless, Toshiro kept his guard up. He activated a sound technique that increased his awareness.

"I'm sorry, I'm just as lost as you are..."

Toshiro responded thoughtlessly; his mind was occupied elsewhere. Lost in thought, he deducted potential escape routes should the girl before him be a danger. He devised plans of actions for different scenarios in his head, all while maintaining a very superficial conversation. It this analytical nature that branded him as a child genius and allowed him to survive the many battles he's experienced. Cutting to the chase, Toshiro released chakra to his surroundings. Frost emerged and temperatures dropped drastically. A soft mist materialized, reducing the woman once again into a sharp silhouette.

Forcefully, he asked, "What brings you here?"

(Ototon: Naiteki Ne no Jutsu) - Sound Release: Inner Sonar Skill
Rank: D
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short-Long
Chakra Cost: 10 (-1 per turn)
Damage Points: N/A
Description: The user will enhance their hearing by infusing his ears with sound chakra. Then, by utilizing chakra and enfacing his lungs, the user will be able to control the frequency and intensity of the sound emitted from his simple breathing. This low frequency, inaudible sound is passively emitted and has no effect other than emerging from him and bouncing off of objects. Using the enhanced hearing, the user is able to know where everything is around them, effectively creating a sonar effect through the rebound and reflection of sound waves. The hearing and the sonar effect is precise enough so that one can effectively use it to substitute one's vision in battle if needed. Despite being very effective, specially if the user has any of his other senses hindered, it also leaves the user vulnerable to sound genjutsu or sound attacks which will be much more drastic in its effects.
Note: Lasts 6 turns

(Hyouton: Shimogakure no Jutsu) - Ice Release: Hiding in Frost Technique
Type: Supplementary
Rank: C
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 15 (-5 per turn active)
Damage: N/A
Description: The user after performing the rat hand seal covers the surrounding area in frost, creating a cold mist and drastically lowering the temperature of the surrounding area. Despite not as hindering as the hidden mist, the technique enables a ninja to more stealthy move and surprise his enemy who will be hindered by both the thin mist and the freezing temperature.

This one seems hopeless...Hokusai thought to herself as he told her about being lost himself to which she sighs in defeat - however his second question was alarming, yet it possed no initial sign of aggression. That was the artists thought process, until she noted him making a hand her hand twitched but didn't move to cast her own technique - she was curious as to what he can do.

Moments after, she can see her breath as the temperate began to drop slowly and a veil of mist began to form but she was already thinking two steps head, as she would take a scroll out from her ninja pouch taking out two ink pots and tipping the contents over into the ground. The ink dissolved as it would rush towards the last known point of where Toshiro might be, to which as they are within short range of him she can sense him (via Heart of Imagery) and the ink would erupt upwards into a collective swarm of snakes. They each where no longer than an arm, but that mattered little as the ink was more "aggressive". This was due to her mastery of ink ninjutsu, she was able to give her creations a more realistic behavior as their vice grip and bites did actual potent damage.

This would harm the fellow midget, but keeping him restricted of movement so that she may interrogate him there was also the fact that her snakes are capable of regeneration in the event the man broke free from his binding. The last but not least technique pulled off was by the Inner Demons within Hokusai as they summoned a set of water affiliated barnaclea that would infuse into her body. They are placed vertically aligned with her spine, under the surface of her skin thus out of sight. I came to use this place as a setting for my next work of art. Wanna see it? she said. The ink was also enhanced via her ink brush.
( Ninpou: Sumi Nagashi ) – Ninja Art: Ink Flow
Type: Supplementary
Rank: B (A)
Range: Short – Mid
Chakra cost: 20 (30)
Damage points: N/A (60)
Description: The user will pour Ink onto the ground, and summon several ink snakes to strike from underground and restrain the opponents. Should the opponent prove to be strong enough to break the binds, the snakes can reform around the target, making struggling pointless

(Inkupo: Koiru) Ink Arts: Calling Out To Within
Type: Supplementary
Rank: B - Rank
Range: N/A
Chakra: N/A (+10 Infusion)
Damage: N/A
Description: A technique that seeks to enhance the nature of ink based techniques, through which this technique comes in two different forms. The first version of this technique is aimed towards turning ink based techniques into more “offensive” versions of themselves, in which when creating a work of art - the user will have drawn the technique in a far more aggressive way as opposed to the normal elegant and expressive manner. This actually comes into play, as with this technique - the drawings they create are far more “shaper” to the touch, in some cases delivering a more “blunt” hit as opposed to normal, while some, in terms of animal like creations, gain the characteristics of the former mentioned but they are also drawn to be more “feral” or “wild”, and thus attack more violently as opposed to normal. What this seeks to do is, through the expression of emotion and creativity, as seen that emotional states of the user can indeed influence the way techniques are created, allows for their own works of art to inherit such unique traits for their own purpose. This turns techniques which are usually labelled with “N/A” as damage in order to gain power. The damage is equal to and rivals the ranking of the original technique i.e A Ranks will deal 60 damage. This technique can be applied to any sort of works by the user, whether they are drawing it on the moment, have it pre drawn or even in the form of ink tattoos. The characteristics must be mentioned when using this technique in order to get a more detailed idea of how the works will be dealing damage. The most notable example of this is when Sai was unable to utilize a certain ink technique due to his mind not being mentally prepared/emotionally ready in order to do so, showing that emotions can indeed have an influence on one's ink techniques upon creation.

The second part of this technique is much like the first, but instead it applies it to already damage-dealing techniques in the same way. What this version seeks to do now is increase the damage output of the technique, allowing it to increase the rank of an ink technique by one rank, or in the case of S-ranks and above, getting an additional +20 damage.*

The first variant is a passive skill, not taking up a move nor a slot in time frame and must simply be mentioned as a reference when performing the desired technique, though it can only be used once every two turns. The second variant can only be used four times per battle, needing a cool down of one turn between each use, and acts as an infusion technique, thus being able to be performed within the same time frame of another technique. When applying the second variant to pre-drawn/tattoos, the user simply needs to infuse the same amount of chakra in order to “activate” the augmented state

(Fujitsuboātsu : ) - Barnacle Arts : Organs of the Thoracica
Type: Supplementary/Offensive/Defensive
Rank: B
Range: Short - Long
Chakra Cost: 30
Damage Points: N/A (+10 chosen affinity)
Description:
The User bites their thumb and wipes it on their barnacle tattoo and is used when another Barnacle Summon made of a community (like Oregon) is on the field. There will be extra barnacles infused into the community, and these barnacles will have a certain elemental affinity of the user's choice as long as it's the 5 basic elements and only one elemental affinity can be chosen at a time. The Summon with these infused can use all Techniques of their chosen element with no hand seals up to B-Rank. If you infuse barnacles of the same affinity as the summon then they will be able to use techniques up to all ranks with a +10 damage boost.

- Cannot be used on the same summon twice.
- Cannot be infused whilst an element using this technique is already active
- Must have signed Barnacle Contract

(Fujitsuboātsu : Uchinaru Akuma) - Barnacle Arts : Inner Demons
Type: Supplementary
Rank: N/A
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: N/A
Damage Points: N/A (-5 each time)
Description:
This technique is only accessible by those who have signed the Barnacle Contract and it utilises Barnacle Larvae that will live within the body, under the skin of the signer. These Larvae can do various things that modify and change the user's body but not to a significant degree, it is a way of adding things to create a variety of options and weapons it also allows for unique cosmetic looks that break certain human like boundaries but not to a huge degree. The Larvae can grow various tools from the user's body into their hand or can have it so the shell simply protrudes from their skin, for example they can grow a couple of calcite shell shuriken/shuriken into the palm of their hand or have Horns grow from their forehead as a new way to melee; or even grow claws from between their knuckles to assist with their punches. Tools created this way will be made out of Calcite Shell laced with Tendrils, meaning they can be the source of follow up Legs/Body of the Thoracica Jutsu however act as normal tools before these jutsu are used. The creation of normal tools like this is passive and counts as freeform, acting as a new way to use an arsenal of ninja tool. Because these Larvae are one with the user they change their skin so that is similar to Barnacle Flesh which allows them to reseal broken skin when tools are made from the user's body, it also allows the larvae to use "Legs of the Thoracica" from the user's very body, however creating extra hands does not allow the user to make hand seals with them. This in no way can be used to heal the user from incoming damage, it can be used to reseal cuts, but the internal damage is still done and is just a way to stop further bleeding, nerves, tendons. organs and everything within the body is still damaged except the skin. Larvae can use Gadget Barnacle from the user's body capable of launching it from a hand for example and even capable of infusing the user with Organs of the Thoracica.

Like with Zombies, the Restrictions of the Barnacle Arts when the Larvae use them apply to them separately as they can act alone with it's own abilities, their number of usages of an Art will not clash with the Users. Because of their limited amount of abilities the use-age of Legs of the Thoracica and Body of the Thoracica gain a rank, but only when the Larvae use them. Stated in the signer's bio there can be various cosmetic applications already active to change the appearance, like horns or spikes protruding off certain points of the body or elongated nails made from shell even a tail made of Barnacle Tendril flesh or tendrils intertwined within the hair, capped sharp teeth or a longer tongue and even if you so wish - pointy ears. Making modifications to the user's body is unranked (Unless Jutsu are used instead ofcourse) and can be done freeform and is limited to the user's creativity.

- Must have Signed the Barnacle Contract.
- Must be taught by LonelyAssassin
- Must be stated on your bio that you posses these.
- The Larvae can use Barnacle Arts independently from the user.
- The user suffers self-inflicted pain like they're being cut when they grow shell from their body
NB, Inner Demons and Call are passive. Also a rushed reply
