(Suna no Keshin) - Incarnation of Sand
Type: Weapon
Rank: S
Range: Short - Long
Chakra Cost: 40 [upon activation; -10 to maintain]
Damage Points: N/A
Description: The Incarnation of Sand is a special gourd developed by the first Jinchuuriki of Shukaku, Bunpuki. The Gourd was constructed for the very purpose to aid any and all Sand users on the orders of the First Kazekage. Physically, the Gourd is the same in appearance as the Gourd normally worn by Gaara, with the only difference being that the Gourd predates Gaara's Gourd by more than a hundred years. The Gourd serves to imbue elemental chakra into Gaara's sand, and infuse with it, allowing the Sand to gain multiple new properties; each depending on which element was infused with the Sand. Therefore, it allows the user of the Gourd to access five different abilities, related to the five basic elemental natures. The Gourd passively releases chakra that it absorbs from the user into the surroundings and imbues all of the sand in the vicinity (upto 10m) with the chakra. As such, it grants the user the power to apply the abilities of the Gourd upon Sand from the vicinity.
Wrath of Vulcan
This ability involves the user infusing Katon chakra with their Sand. It results in the sand heating up, and causes the sand to deliver first-degree burns to anything that it comes into contact with; with the user himself being the only exception. Unlike Red Sand, the sand does not become non-polar, nor is it hydrophobic. As such, the ability does not grant normal Sand to obtain Red Sand abilities at all, with the normal sand heating up due to the Katon infusion being the only similarity; that too to much lesser degree than the Red Sand. However, the true purpose of this infusion lies in the fact that infusing the chakra with the Sand alters the interaction of Fiery Sand with the Basic Five Elements. By invoking this ability, it allows the Sand to overpower Fire, Earth as well as Wind. Sand however continues to remain weak to Lightning, and becomes twice as weak to Water.
Temperance of Poseidon
This ability involves the user infusing Suiton chakra with their Sand. It results in the sand becoming mushy and clay-like, clumping together, sticking to anything in comes into contact with; with the user himself being the only exception. These new characteristics of the sand are based on a technique utilized by Gaara, Little Quicksand Waterfall Flow and as such depend upon the concept of quicksand existing as a variant of Sand. It can also be used as a medium to conduct Lightning. However, the true purpose of this infusion lies in the fact that infusing the chakra with the quicksand alters the interaction of Sand with the Basic Five Elements. By invoking this ability, it allows the Sand to become twice as strong to Fire and makes Water neutral to the Sand. The Sand however also loses its advantage over Earth, becoming neutral to Earth as well. Wind and Lightning continue to maintain their positions, being neutral and strong to the Sand respectively.
Pride of Zeus
This ability involves the user infusing Raiton chakra with their Sand. It results in the sand being coated with the users chakra, allowing the sand to conduct Raiton and imbue itself with a current of unfocused Lightning, and numbs anything that the sand comes into contact with; with the user himself being the only exception. These new characteristics of the sand are based on a technique utilized by Gaara, Sand Lightning Needles which showcase and prove the ability to infuse Sand with Lightning. However, the true purpose of this infusion lies in the fact that infusing the chakra with the Sand alters the interaction of Lightning Sand with the Basic Five Elements. By invoking this ability, it allows the Sand to retain its advantage over Fire and becomes twice as strong to Earth. The Sand also becomes neutral to Lightning, however it results in the Sand becoming weak to Wind. Water continues to retains its position, being strong to the Sand.
Mercy of Hera
This ability involves the user infusing Doton chakra with their Sand. It results in the sand gaining earth-like properties, and allows the user to even utilize the Sand as a medium to conduct Earth Release Techniques. However, the true purpose of this infusion lies in the fact that infusing the chakra with the Sand alters the interaction of Earthen Sand with the Basic Five Elements. By invoking this ability, it allows the Sand to retain its advantage over Fire and Earth. The Sand continues to be neutral to Wind, but also becomes neutral to Water as well. It comes at a cost however, with Lightning becoming twice as strong to Sand.
Greed of Boreas
This ability involves the user infusing Fuuton chakra with their Sand. It results in the sand becoming 2x as fast as Gaara's normal sand, and imbues Fuuton abilities to the Sand. The ability does not lighten the Sand at all, and the Sand continues to maintain the same impact force. However, the true purpose of this infusion lies in the fact that infusing the chakra with the Sand alters the interaction of Sand with the Basic Five Elements. By invoking this ability, it allows the Sand to retain its advantage over Earth, and makes Lightning neutral to the Sand. The Sand however also loses its advantage over Fire, becoming neutral to Fire as well. Wind and Water continue to maintain their positions, being neutral and strong to the Sand respectively.
Note: Infusing the Sand with an element is passive and part of the same timeframe, however it costs as a move slot upon activation.
Note: The user can passively maintain any ability for as long as he chooses, until he decides to either deactivate the technique or infuse the Sand with another element.
Note: The user can infuse the Sand with only a single element at any given time.
Note: The user can infuse the Sand with an element upto five times per battle. It depends entirely upon the user which element he prioritizes in his selection.
Note: Can be only be worn by pop123 and those he allows, with only Sand users capable of using the Gourd.
‡ Approved ‡ Great work on this.
New Submissions
(Shukaku no Jesshi Keitai) - Embodiment of Shukaku
Type: Offensive/Defensive/Supplementary
Rank: B-S
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra Cost: 20 - 40
Damage Points: 40 - 80
Description: The technique is based on Sand Attack Heaven Burial, and is a much more advanced variation of the original technique. It allows the user to create constructs anywhere on the field upto Mid-Range from the user, matching a specific part of the users body, such as the creation of a large arm or a leg. By compressing and hardening the sand to withstand damage whilst carrying a lot of force, it allows the user to easily utilize the technique for offensive or defensive purposes.. The structure created using the sand carries the ability to perform the exact same action as the user performs, thus a fist created from sand would deliver a punch only when the user himself performs a punch. The physical strength and size of the technique however depends on the chakra focused on each construct, thus making it very possible for one construct to be weaker than the other.
Note: To explain the size per rank, a B Rank construct would be 4m in length and width, an A Ranked construct would be 8m in length and width whilst an S Ranked construct would be 12m in length and width.
Note: The S Rank version can only be used thrice per battle, with a 1 turn break between each use. Moreover, the user may not use above S Rank and above Sand techniques in the next turn if the S Rank version is used.
Note: Only one construct can be created per usage, and it disperses in the next turn following its usage.
Note: Can only be taught by pop123 and used by Sand users.
(Bunpuki no Yuigon) - Bunpuki's Testament
Type: Supplementary
Rank: D-S
Range: Short - Long
Chakra Cost: 10 - 40
Damage Points: N/A
Description: Bunpuki's Testament was a technique developed by the first Jinchuuriki of the Shukaku, Bunpuki; specifically designed to counter Water and Rain Release users. The technique involves the user calling forth billions of sand grains from the ground and manipulating them to absorb the moisture in the air. The technique specifically works with the sand grains absorbing water droplets and as such, the technique is designed to disperse clouds or to alternatively negate mist by manipulating the grains to absorb all of the water present in the mist. The technique in a sense exploits the weakness of Sand to Water, and thus in fact allows the user to use the sand to negate Water techniques of the one rank below (S-Rank counters A-Rank Water and Rain) by absorbing them. The technique however specifically targets moisture-based Water techniques and cannot be used to absorb water from other kinds of Water techniques; such as a wave of water. The size and strength of the sand grains depends upon the chakra put into the technique by the user.
Note: The user cannot heat up the atmosphere if this technique is utilized to counter an opponent's technique, with the only exception being if the technique happens to overpower that of the opponent. The atmosphere will also heat up if this technique is used against natural clouds or mist, as in clouds/mist not infused with chakra.
Note: The opponent and the user are rendered incapable of utilizing A Rank and above Suiton techniques for 4 turns if the sand grains happen to absorb most of the moisture in the air. Doesn't effect water specilists such as tobirama
Note: The S Rank version can only be used four per battle, with the user being unable to use S Rank and above Sand techniques in the next turn.
Note: Can only be taught by pop123 and used by Sand users.
‡ Both Approved ‡ Made edits to the second one.
