It's fine. I wouldn't have responded between then either as I finished my finals yesterday as well.


(Jouro Senbon) - Sprinkling Needles
Rank: C
Type: Attack
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: 30
Description: After hurling their umbrella into the air, the user will unleash a torrent of needles. Using their chakra they can guide these needles towards their opponent.


These technique follows the same concept as the previous simply the chakra is focused more sharply since it is a needle no a nail so I'll keep it short. Just instead of focusing the chakra in your stomach, you focus the chakra at the sharp points of an umbrella. You throw the umbrella into the air while it spins and release your chakra from the sharp point and direct the needles at your target. Defend against it the same way as the technique above, and offensively, most useful as a distraction, not as a direct attack.


(Soushuuha) - Manipulate Advancing Blades
Rank: C
Type:Attack
Range:Short-Long
Chakra Cost:15
Damage Points:30
Description: This technique allows a shinobi to hover multiple kunai in the air while they approach a target. The technique allows a ninja to unleash a torrent of kunai, shuriken, or other weapons much more quickly than if each was thrown individually.

Once you have several kunai you then channel small amounts of chakra into all of you them. Then when you throw your kunai, you remotely control your chakra to hold the kunai in the air. You need use your chakra to constantly provide an upward force on the kunai that negates the force of gravity so that it remains at rest. Not enough chakra will cause it to start falling or not even levitate. It requires no hand seals from that I am aware. The technique is great offensively in a fist fight. You can throw the kunai in front of you as you run toward you opponent and then as you attack them with your body you can use the openings to unleash the kunai. But in other fights, again, any elements technique that can push stuff can be used to block it. You can even throw an explosive kunai and just knock all the levitating kunai away.

Re: Ninjutsu with Crutch Kaguya

How you would perform the technique in battle:
*Quickly, Ithnan sends chakra into the points of his umbrella before flinging it high into the air above him. Ithnan, then, unleashes a torrent of needles from the rotating umbrella and has them rain down upon a small patch of desired earth.*

How you will use the technique offensively:
In conjecture with a jutsu that restricts movement, such as the Starch Syrup Capture Field technique.

How you can defend against the tech:
A great deal of standard jutsu can defend against this technique, such as low level wind and fire jutsu.
Attempting to use small evasive techniques might be rendered useless by the ability to guide the needles.

Whether or not you find the technique useful or interesting:
It's not particularly useful, so, no, it's not interesting. A positive thing was that the needles could be guided, to an extent.

---

How you would perform the technique in battle:
*Holding four kunai in each hand, Ithnan then channels a small amount of chakra into each one of them before lightly throwing. Traveling just a few inches, the kunai then silently maintain their position in the middle of the air.*

How you will use the technique offensively:
For maximum damage, each kunai would be equipped with a single smoke bomb. When exchanging blows, the kunai could be sent forth to further increase danger to the enemy and then use the arising smoke coverage in conjecture with chakra sensing to viciously pinpoint the fleeing/surprised enemy and attempt to safely kill them before offensively moving.

How you can defend against the tech:
With a strong enough elemental technique, the whole jutsu could be easily overpowered.

Whether or not you find the technique useful or interesting:
To the extent of fluidity in close-quarter combat, yes, this simple technique is moderately interesting.​

Re: Ninjutsu with Crutch Kaguya

( Rakka Kibaku Fuda ) - Falling Paper Bomb
Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra cost: N/A
Damage points: 25
Description: The user will throw three paper bombs connected to kunai that act like parachutes and float down above the enemy where the user will then make the hand seal to explode the explosive tags when they reach their desired location.


Another technique that requires the use of weapons. This uses kunai in conjunction with paper bombs to make a lethal combo. The technique actually requires no hand seals or use of chakra. This is a purely weapons based technique. Grab three kunai that have paper bombs connected to them and throw them in and arc upward toward the target so that when they come down the parachutes made using the paper bombs open and float down. Make one seal to make the tags explode. This is a good technique to attack the opponent from above as a distraction to follow up with a ground based attack. The technique by itself is not that powerful and I prefer throwing paper bomb kunai in free form. Guarding against it is simple. Again, any wind, fire, or water blast that can knock them back and be used to counter. Or the simplest way, the way I recommend is to just throw kunai yourself and deflect them.

 

[Pekoms]

Re: Ninjutsu with Crutch Kaguya

How you would perform the technique in battle:
*Reaching for three kunai with paper bombs attached, Ithnan then swiftly flings them upwards at an angle. Soon after they are flung, the kunai with their explosive tags begin to descend towards the desired location before detonating.*

How you will use the technique offensively:
As an airborne distraction, for something like Earth Release: Mudshot or Earth Release: Swamp of the Underworld

How you can defend against the tech:
A plethora of elemental techniques can safely counter the jutsu. Freeform with ninja tools work too.

Whether or not you find the technique useful or interesting:
Nope, it's quite simplistic and overall, it's more effective to just use freeform and save a move for other use.​

The basis of this technique is chakra distribution. Focus your chakra throughout your body and feel the amount of chakra inside of you. Once you feel that you know the total amount of chakra, begin to divide the chakra in half. Once you have found the perfect balance between half of the chakra that will remain in you and the half that will be released, perform the single seal and release half of your chakra out of your body at once. Shape the chakra into your image and mold the chakra to have a physical appearance. The clone should look exactly like you, if it is deformed it means there is no balance in the distribution. Offensively and defensively the allows you to defend against several attacks or attack several times at once. One physical blow to the clone will cause it to time out. One of the most useful techniques in the entire RP. If used wisely it is a game changer.

Description: After performing the shadow clone technique the user and the two clones perform the Dog → Rabbit → Monkey → Clap Hands and they throw several shuriken which multiply and attack the opponent.
Note: Requires two shadow clones before use.


Now perform the shadow clone jutsu. Perform the hand seals while focusing small amounts of chakra into the shuriken you are holding in your hand. You notice that this technique requires you to have clones already and requires 4 hand seals. It is basic the multiplication of other objects requires more focus that yourself. Throw the shuriken and then divide the chakra you put into the shuriken into equal amounts. Cut the chakra in these equal amounts to separate parts and move to chakra out, once you move it out of the shuriken shape the chakra into the very shape of the shuriken and give the chakra physical characteristics. This technique can be used to defend unless someone is running at you, and offensive again not really offensive unless someone is running at you. To defend against it there are several ways, state a few. I feel it's simple enough that I don't want to take away from your responses.

Re: Ninjutsu with Crutch Kaguya

How you would perform the technique in battle:
*Ithnan focuses his chakra throughout his body, and begins to sense the total volume of it within the confines of his physical form. After acquiring an inkling of just how much chakra he has, Ithnan then begins to distribute it whilst making a single hand-seal, equally, into two exact manifestations of his own person and thus, two tangible clones.*

How you will use the technique offensively:
Ah, there are so many ways in which this technique could be utilized, as there is an inherent amount of variety. With shadow clones, one can increase both their offensive and defensive measures. On top being useful for offense and defense, the clones can be cast aside at any moment, which means they can engage in suicidal actions that can further force the opponent(s) to be quite wary. They also can be quite useful against an opponent who prefers to use genjutsu.

How you can defend against the tech:
I see no direct way to counter this technique, as the user is making sophisticated copies of himself. That being said, the clones are quite fragile so any solid, and certainly lethal blow will effective terminate each clone as they are struck. Large, dispersive attacks would work best as opposed to concentrated attacks (depending on number of clones).

Whether or not you find the technique useful or interesting:
This technique is a highly interesting technique, as there is no real limit to what tactics can be used with it.

After acquiring an inkling of just how much chakra he has, Ithnan then begins to distribute it whilst making a single hand-seal, equally, into two exact manifestations of his own person and thus, two tangible clones. Then, Ithnan and his clones each draw a few shuriken and make a sequence of four hand-seals: Dog -> Rabbit -> Monkey -> Clap before throwing all the shuriken in the intended direction. As the shuriken are all flung, the chakra infused in each begins to evenly distribute itself until several copies, with the same characteristics are created.*

How you will use the technique offensively:
Pretty as you said, only when the opponent is running towards me. It's hardly worth using is most given situations.

How you can defend against the tech:
Seeing as it's just small metallic objects being thrown, a plethora of elemental techniques could not only safely counter the technique but overpower it and force the user to go on the defense. There are also several other ninjutsu techniques that could counter the technique soundly.

Whether or not you find the technique useful or interesting:
No, it requires too much for to little in return. It requires one to make shadow clones, which counts as move, and then they must also make 4 hand-seals before unleashing a second move, which can easily be countered or overpowered. In most cases, it'd be a waste of chakra to use this technique even once, as there'd be little gained by the end of a given turn.​

 

[Crutch Kaguya]

Re: Ninjutsu with Crutch Kaguya

For the sake of battles where chakra points is not considered to be an issue and neither fighter is counting, then the chakra cost is basically irrelevant for the technique. For battles where chakra cost is calculated, making one clone halves your current chakra and puts that amount in yourself and your clone, and three clones cuts it in thirds and so on. But in fights were there is no mention of chakra points being calculated, don't worry about it at all.

Note: This technique can only block B rank and below.


This technique is pretty much plain and simple. It requires no hand seals and is simply a summoning. It summons a wall. The wall can block attacks up to B-rank. Nothing more for me to explain. If possible use the wall to block your opponents vision and do some set-ups for future sneak attacks that you opponent will be unaware of.

Note: Technique counts as one of the users Substitution technique usage.


This technique requires that you focus your chakra throughout your entire body then some of the chakra outside of your body into another object (in this case the object you are trying to merge into). The technique requires no hand seals and is thus most efficient in situations where there is absolutely no other way to escape and can only be used once per battle since it is considered a substitution. Using the chakra outside of your body, you examine the properties of the object, then you slowly begin changing the chakra throughout your body to match the properties of the element. You then merge the chakra throughout your body with the chakra you channeled outside of your body onto the object so that you can blend into the object for a quick escape. No offensive uses, no real defense uses either. Just a quick technique to run away from something you can't guard.

 

[Pekoms]

Re: Ninjutsu with Crutch Kaguya

How you would perform the technique in battle:
Releasing some chakra outwards, a few meters in front of himself, Ithnan then summons a huge demonic wall.

How you will use the technique offensively:
This technique isn't offensive, at all, not even any damage points.

How you can defend against the tech:
There's no need to defend against this, just decide whether or not you want to destroy it outright or navigate around/over it. If I was really trying to maintain close-combat with the opponent, I might use Earth Release: Earth Release to make a pillar to help me leap up, before using chakra to cling to the wall and make my way over it and strike from above. One could also simply use an earth technique to travel underneath and strike from below.

Whether or not you find the technique useful or interesting:
It's a fairly straightforward technique. It's fairly useful as a defense.

---

How you would perform the technique in battle:
Spreading chakra throughout his body, Ithnan then channels some into a nearby tree he is contact with and examines its properties. As the examination of the tree commences, Ithnan gradually begins to change the chakra he's been spreading throughout his body to imitate the properties of the tree and then merging the two chakras together, fusing with the tree.

How you will use the technique offensively:
This technique isn't offensive, at all, purely a fleeing technique.

How you can defend against the tech:
You don't have to defend against it.

Whether or not you find the technique useful or interesting:
I suppose it's sorta nifty for a single situation that you can't dig yourself out of.​

Description: Kekkai Houjin is a high-level Ninjutsu 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.



This technique is a trap. It is not really an attack and cannot be used to defend either. The technique only serves purpose in fights that involve high level strategic methods and sneaky manipulation of the terrain; it would be essentially useless in a shoot out because you wouldn't be able to set the explosive markers and your opponent can just falsely activate the trap by using a big enough enough that can trigger the markers while also overpowering the markers. The best way to use this technique is in a battle where you are planning to win using skill and strategy. I would personally first make a clone and make sure the clone in made out of the opponents sight and take the opponent one of one while the clone prepares the seals then I'll lead the opponent toward the boundary then suddenly jump back far behind it then when the opponent follows he'll activate the markers. You'll probably never use this technique and no one else will use it against you either.

 

[Pekoms]

Re: Ninjutsu with Crutch Kaguya

How you would perform the technique in battle:
Reaching for several explosive markers, Ithnan sets them up in an unclosed rectangular formation. Curious to see what happens, he flings a fairly large rock into the center of the formation and observes it being reduced to dust upon the markers detonating.

How you will use the technique offensively:
This technique cannot be used in an offensive manner, as it is merely a trap. That said, it does damage the opponent if they're in it.

How you can defend against the tech:
Should one see the markers being set, they could simply attack them with basic techniques and set them off harmlessly. One might even have enough time to use Wind Release: Wind Stream to swiftly move out of the barrier if they notice it just they enter it, or right before. Seriously doubt there will be a time where I need to be concerned about having to defend against this technique.

Whether or not you find the technique useful or interesting:
This technique is abysmal, as there will be next to no opportunities to actually use it in a useful manner during a battle. To even hope to use this technique successfully, one would need a clone capable of planting all the markers, or using moves that serve as extreme distractions.​

(Kuchiyose: Sanjū Rashōmon) - Summoning Technique: Triple Rashōmon
Rank: A
Type: Supplementary, Defence
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 30
Damage points: N/A
Description: This summoning is an upgrade of the standard Rashomon in which the user summons 3 of these demonic forms of the main gate of old Kyoto. Each gate has a specific duty: the first red gate takes the attack head-on, the second green gate reduces the power of the attack, and the third blue gate disperses the pressure.
Note: This technique can only block A rank and below.


Just a summoning. This summoning happens to summon 3 walls instead of 1. The use of this technique is purely defensive. It'll allow you to defend against an A-rank tech. The technique works by giving each of the three walls a purpose. The first wall is meant to rake the burnt of the attack. It is essentially meant to take all the physical force and power of the attack and slow it down. The second wall is mean to reduce the power of the attack by completely removing the physical aspects of the technique it is blocking and leaving it as energy only. The final wall is meant to simply prevent the energy from coming close to you. Since the first two wall not only take the burnt of the physical force but also cause the attack to lose a lot of energy as well, the last wall's sole duty is to spread the energy out as it collides with the attack and disperse the blow by evenly distributing the pressure within itself.



(Bunshin Bakuha) - Shadow Clone Explosion
Rank: A
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra Cost: 30
Damage Points: 60
Description:At first glance the clone appears to be a normal tangible Bunshin, but the user can detonate the clone at any time to form a very large explosion. (This shadow clone variant can only use normal ninjutsu, and Taijutsu).
Note:Must already know shadow clone jutsu to use this jutsu.


The jutsu involves creating a clone with the only difference being the chakra distribution. When you divide your chakra, instead of dividing the chakra evenly, focus a large amount of concentrated chakra and then release the concentrated chakra out of your body. Then shape this chakra into your appearance. This clone cannot use elemental techniques so it is only useful for regular ninjutsu and physical attack so must be used wisely and cannot be used as freely as a normal shadow clone. Any chakra sensors or eye techniques can tell the difference between this clone but a normal ninja cannot. So don't god mod and meta game when you're opponent uses this technique, treat it as a regular clone for the fun of the game. If you can sense or see the difference then state that. Now what makes it explode is the large concentrated chakra you used to make it. You can disperse the clone while releasing the energy to cause a large explosion due to the sudden expansion of compressed chakra. This is more for supplementary uses, not offensive or defensive.


If you noticed, you can see that both of the techs above are advanced versions of ones you already learned.

 

[Pekoms]

Re: Ninjutsu with Crutch Kaguya

How you would perform the technique in battle:
Releasing a large amount of chakra in the area in front of him, Ithnan summons three large demonic gates, one in front of the other.

How you will use the technique offensively:
This technique is purely a defensive measure, it lacks any damage points.

How you can defend against the tech:
Given that this technique is a defensive move, there's no real need to "defend against it". One just needs to either scale over the walls or use a sufficiently powerful technique (S-Rank or forbidden) to completely overwhelm all three segments of the technique.

Whether or not you find the technique useful or interesting:
It certainly has its uses, as it provides a well-rounded defense against a variety of incoming attacks. It is very straightforward.

---

How you would perform the technique in battle:
Kneading a large amount of chakra in throughout his body, Ithnan then disperses it into his immediate vicinity and concentrates it to assume an appearance identical to himself. Unlike standard shadow clones, this clone's chakra is heavily condensed at its core.

How you will use the technique offensively:
This technique would work well if the opponent was prone to close-combat encounters. If used over a body of water, it can kick up some of it and temporarily serve as a distraction.

How you can defend against the tech:
By utilizing my chakra sensing, I can be alerted to the potential danger of allowing it to reach close proximity to my own person. In realizing that the clone is essentially unstable and capable of detonation, the best thing to do is swiftly disperse it from a distance utilizing a fast-moving elemental technique that would be hard for it to avoid, especially given its limitations.

Whether or not you find the technique useful or interesting:
This technique can be used for some fun, as most opponents would not be able to discern its primary function. A nice surprise.​

(Meisaigakure no Jutsu) - Hiding with Camouflage Technique
Rank: A
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 30 (-10 per turn active)
Damage Points: N/A
Description: This is a ninja escape technique that allows the user after performing the Tiger hand seal to control how light is reflected around their body with chakra inflections. The technique also erases the user's scent and shadow, and is usable on any terrain, making it ideal not only for covert maneuvers but also offensive strikes. Perceiving the user's position is possible only for ninja who are astute enough to observe minute variations within their surrounding environment, such as distortions of air currents in the immediate vicinity or distinguishing sounds, i.e. footsteps etc. However, the usefulness of this ability can be entirely negated by those with special vision or sensory skills. The Second Tsuchikage, Mū's mastery of this technique helped earn him the moniker "Non-Person" seemingly having neither form nor chakra while the technique was active. Thus, he could not be sensed through traditional means.
Note: Technique lasts a total of 3 turns


The technique requires one hand seals and has no offensive or defensive purposes. It is used to gain tactical advantage. The technique will mask your scent and shadow so against normal ninja you can essentially become invisible. You can use this technique to move behind your opponent or to come close and sneak attack them. The only way your opponent will know you are there is if they can detect changes to the environment like leafs beings moves, footsteps in the sand, or common sense like if you are wet and you leave a trail of water on the ground wherever you go. Defending against this technique is to use your surroundings to your advantage. Use techniques that push dust so the dust hits them or mud. You can also detect their location if they use a technique and you spot the location from which it originated. Sensory and eye techniques basically cancel this out, using it against those bios is a waste of a technique.



(Mikadzuki no Mai) - Dance of the Crescent Moon
Rank: A
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: 40
Description: As the ninja charges at the opponent, they create multiple shadow copies to confuse the opponent. Using the confusion, the real ninja will attack from the opponent's blindside.


This jutsu is pretty simple. Its a straightforward attack. You create three shadow clones (this technique makes them for you) and then you attack the opponent at the same time and the real you catches the opponents blind side. An easy way to defend is to just account for all the clones at the same time, and offensively you can use this in close range and combine it with jutsu that weaken the opponents senses so that their blind spots and open areas increase in size and landing an attack becomes more possible.

 

[Pekoms]

Re: Ninjutsu with Crutch Kaguya

How you would perform the technique in battle:
Kneading chakra throughout his body, Ithnan then makes the Tiger hand-seal and quickly begins to manipulate the light that surrounds his person. Through the use of chakra inflections, his visibility as perceived by others becomes nearly impossible, as does his scent and shadow.

How you will use the technique offensively:
One could use this technique to reposition themselves to a more suitable location//range and prepare further moves.

How you can defend against the tech:
Once the user becomes invisible, the defender simply needs to use one of two types of techniques. (1) The defender can use techniques that directly manipulate the terrain, such as Earth Release: Swamp of the Underworld. (2) The defender can use techniques that boast great range and girth, essentially techniques that do not discriminate and are not concentrated. Powerful wind and fire combinations can be utilized to force the opponent to use some other technique to safely counter the incoming inferno, giving their position away. Of course, one could also be a sensory type or have a dojutsu, but those techniques are bound to certain biographies

Whether or not you find the technique useful or interesting:
It's a decent technique, when used against someone who cannot immediately see through it. It has its uses for setups.

---

How you would perform the technique in battle:
In moving towards the opponent, Ithnan quickly creates three shadow clones that lung towards the opponent from various angles and attempt to confuse them whilst Ithnan's real body subtly shifts so as to approach his opponent from their blind spot.

How you will use the technique offensively:
This technique can be used to quickly pressure the opponent from all directions. It can be especially useful after using a genjutsu that limits the opponent's visual capacity or another move, such as Earth Release: Mud Shot or a flash bomb.

How you can defend against the tech:
Techniques with near or full-omnidirectional movement can be quite useful in defending against this technique. One could also simply move towards one of the clones and use taijutsu/kenjutsu to escape from the circling maneuver.

Whether or not you find the technique useful or interesting:
It's essentially the generic shadow clone technique with movements that could just as easily be done with freeform, and less chakra.​

(Shuriken Kage Bunshin no Jutsu) - Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu
Rank: A
Type: Offensive
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra Cost: 30
Damage Points: 60
Description: The user creates a thousand shadow clones from one shuriken after performing Ram → Rat → Bird → Boar → Tiger, striking down the enemy. This is a technique that combines ninja tools with ninjutsu. Compared to normal shadow clones, clones of material objects are said to be on a far higher level. There is no need for preparations beforehand, like stocking up on shuriken, yet since the shadow clones are real and not illusions, all the shadow blades that fly around are equally lethal.



I'll evaluate both of these techniques at the same time because of their similar yet completely opposite natures (IKR luls but it's kinda true). The jutsu are similar because they both achieve the same end result which is a massive amount of projectiles being directed toward the opponent. The techniques are different in the way they achieve this result. The first technique achieves this result by in theory by following one concept of the shadow clone jutsu. When a shadow clone is created, the user can also clone certain things that are on their possession. This is how shadow clones aren't naked and share the same outfit as the user. While creating the shadow clone when the chakra is being divided, chakra is also put into the kunai or shuriken and when the user splits the chakra in their body to form a clone of themselves they split the chakra in the kunai as well. So when they release the chakra, they make sure to copy the properties of that kunai and then make the chakra recreate it and give it physical characteristics. Afterward these projectiles are thrown at the opponent. The second technique is different and requires a bit more precise chakra control which is why it requires 4 hand seals while the shadow clone jutsu hand seal is all that is needed from the first technique. You channel a large amount of chakra into the kunai and then after it is throw you do the hand seals to precisely divide the chakra into perhaps ever a thousand parts. All those parts take on all the characteristics of the projectile and become clones of that projectile. This is very advanced because the kunai does not have kunai to begin with and you are not in contact with the kuani when it is divided. So the chakra must be split precisely and you have the copy the properties mid flight and recreate them exactly otherwise you may create flimsy kunai as Naruto created flimsy shadow clones. This is great in conjunction with explosive kunai or to follow up with a wind attack. To guard against it, any physical attack can push the kunai away, a wind blast, fire blast, earth wall. Even a wave of water can swallow the mass of kunai. Lightning is this case is useless.

Even though I responded in one, I want you to respond the same way you've been doing before.

How you would perform the technique in battle:
In moving towards the opponent, Ithnan quickly creates three shadow clones that lung towards the opponent from various angles and draw several kunai with explosive tags connected to each of them. In one unified motion, all the clones and Ithnan fling the tools.

How you will use the technique offensively:
If kunai are used, it'd be best to have them equipped with explosive tags. One can also stream chakra into all the tools, as the user will have to reach for them and hold them in their hands for at least a brief moment.

How you can defend against the tech:
A great variety of elemental techniques can easily overpower all the kunai, as they are nothing different from the standard ones. Omnidirectional techniques might work best, or techniques with considerable range and girth that can safely overwhelm all the tools.

Whether or not you find the technique useful or interesting:
It's a very basic technique, and it isn't too viable as the tools can be easily overpowered.

How you would perform the technique in battle:
Flinging a single shuriken, Ithnan then performs a sequence of hand-seals: Ram → Rat → Bird → Boar → Tiger, which creates a thousand tangible copies of the shuriken to create a storm of razor sharp in the direction the initial one was flung.

How you will use the technique offensively:
In conjecture with a technique that restricts the opponent's movements, such as Earth Release: Swamp of the Underworld. Other combinations would be to use the hidden mist and release a barrage of shuriken that can strike an unprepared opponent.

How you can defend against the tech:
The same manner as the other technique, many elemental techniques would easily overpower the shuriken clones.

Whether or not you find the technique useful or interesting:
It's somewhat more useful than the other technique, as the user takes advantage of one shuriken instead of several clones and freeform. It is also somewhat of a hassle, as several hand-seals are required, which can limit its usability in combat.​

Re: Ninjutsu with Crutch Kaguya

(Himitsu Kibaku Fuda no Jutsu) Hidden Explosive Tags Technique
Type: Offensive
Rank: A-Rank
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra: 30
Damage: 60
Description:
The user does a sequence of 4 hand seals (Tiger → Rat → Bird → Snake) or slams his hand on the ground or surface. Using his chakra, he is able to stream a multitude of paper tags through the ground and use his chakra to keep them hidden from sight. As they stream towards the target, they are undistinguishable from the ground, seamlessly merged with it. Nearing the target, they rise from the ground, "crawling" up the target. As they wrap themselves in lairs around the target, the user can choose when to detonate them, making a quicker, weaker detonation or waiting for more paper tags to pile in the target and adding more damage.


The technique is a combination of a summoning technique and an ignition technique. I say that is is a summoning technique because the user after performing the 4 hand seals releases a large number of paper bombs that originate from the point of contact on the surface on which the technique is used. He can then use his chakra to make the tags blend in with the surface to prevent the opponent from seeing it. Those with sensory abilities and eye techs can easily see through the technique. The paper bombs will cover the opponent and detonate, this is the ignition part. You can either make it so that it is a constant stream of smaller explosions or one massive explosion once all the tags have surrounded your target. This is a great technique to use when your opponent is first trapped or bound by an earth technique. You can follow up by also wrapping him in tags as he is bound causing him to take more drastic defense measures. An easy way to defend against the technique is to stop the flow of tags after sensing them or detecting them through other means. This can be done by using an earth technique to alter the earth so the tags cannot flow in your direction.

Re: Ninjutsu with Crutch Kaguya

How you would perform the technique in battle:
Slamming his right hand onto the ground immediately in front of him, Ithnan then channels a large amount of chakra into the ground and summons a multitude of explosive tags. Concealed by his chakra and moving discretely through the ground, Ithnan has them arise in a crawling manner before entrapping the opponent's legs and detonating.

How you will use the technique offensively:
One could first launch a large fireball towards the opponent, which would need to be fairly large, so as force the opponent into working out a strong counter whilst being unable to see past the incoming fireball to the discrete gestures made to use this subsequent technique.
It would also be possible and potentially viable to make a clone, conceal the clone, and have it use the technique from its maximum range.

How you can defend against the tech:
Having chakra sensing, I could easily see the tags approaching. Using something like Earth Release: Swamp of the Underworld or another mud orientated technique could nullify the tags' approach. There are also techniques that can disrupt/split the ground.

Whether or not you find the technique useful or interesting:
It's a somewhat interesting technique and it could be fairly useful under the right circumstances.​
