"[Unintelligible]…I may see you sooner than I promised. Wait for me, a while longer," █████ muttered as he pulled his inky black blade from the roots of the great tree.
"█████! What have you done!?" Shouted the Inuzuka in horror and disbelief. This was not what he intended for them to do when the two first set out on their journey, but he could do nothing but watch as the roots of the Great Tree were severed by the man who he considered his brother and trusted with his very life, yet it seemed as if he truly knew nothing as his cold and unfeeling gaze fell upon him.
█████ knew that the forest was a sacred place Kōtetsu's people, that the destruction of nature was taboo, and even shared those ideals. This went against everything he stood for, and he would never have done something like this of his own accord, which meant that it was for the sake of another. But who's? Zi-Rosen, who bore the weight of the tree on his back? Or was it for that woman people referred to as the Holy one?
Regardless, the Inuzuka could do nothing but watch as the pillar of their world burnt, turning to ash as it's rained down upon the land itself; the sky seemed to be falling with it, like shards of broken glass. Humans, they really were all the same. He had been a fool to trust █████. For thinking he alone could be different, when in fact he was the worst of their ilk. Kōtetsu's anger exploded as he pulled Kusanagi from its sheath and lunged at his sworn brother, who leaped back into a wall of fire, but before he did the Inuzuka stretched out his hand in an attempt to catch him. Unfortunately, he came up short and was only able to grab the porch on his waist that came loose as he vanished into the flames.
The haze that was created from the burning tree wasn't so strong now that he has retreated to the temple grounds, but Kōtetsu could no longer tell where it ended. Perhaps it had already consumed him. Perhaps, they were all already doomed. Even from this distance, he could hear the screeching that permeated the air as it burned, and no matter how far he retreated from the tree he could not escape it, nor did it ever grow quieter. The ground beneath him shook occasionally as burning ether bled from chasms that opened up across the terrain, and as it escaped the land died around it. So this...was the death of a God.
Kōtetsu knew █████ wasn't dead. He could smell him somewhere in the area, but he wasn't alone. He could tell that he was fighting some unknown entity whose scent the Inuzuka couldn't identify, but he couldn't focus on just that at the moment. Soon others would be coming. Coming to make them pay for their act of sacrilege, for severing the roots of Yggdrasil, and plunging the world into Darkness.
- The heat from Yggdrasil burning reduces the power of water, water-based CEs, and other elements/CEs weak to fire by -20, and
- After six turns Yggdrasil will crumble and thick smoke will spread through the battlefield that makes seeing anything nearly impossible.
- The smoke is toxic and inhaling it directly will deal -20 damage to each participant per turn.
- The smoke can be blown away, but will only lift enough to grant visibility up to mid-range for two turns, after which it will return.

Description: Keotsu's legendary blade Mythos has been with him through trials and tribulations of all sorts; and in turn, Keotsu has used his strength to help his friends through their own challenges. The strength Keotsu could offer was always limited, though, as so many of his teachings were made with his own blade in mind. This technique allows others to use Mythos, when they normally could not. Because Mythos is tied to Keotsu's soul, he will perform a small ritual with one that Keotsu is incredibly close to: Keotsu will place Mythos in its entirety atop one of his brothers-in-arms' weapons, and coat it in an incredibly thin layer of the Mythril that Mythos is made of. In this action, Keotsu accepts this person into his soul, marking them as someone of great importance to him. This imparts the weapon with all the abilities of Mythos, except for the ability to change shape, the original ability that Mythos possessed in its form of "Mikomi", long, long ago.
*Note: Cannot be used in battle. The purpose of this technique is to allow others to be able to use Mythos.
*Note: True to the blade, if a piece of Mythos is ever used against Keotsu, this technique will "deactivate", and that person will be as if they could not have used Mythos in the first place.
*Note: Those who Keotsu teaches "Brother" will be able to use (Ten'notsurugi: Mythos, Jinsei no Sāberu) Astrum Sword: Mythos, Vita Saber with all of its abilities, except the ability to change shape.

Description: "The Blade of Heaven...Mythos the Life Sabre. One of the Ten Shinning Weapons." When Keotsu returned to the known continent from his journey to regions unknown, he returned with his blade Mythos in a new form; some secret event took place which reconfigured the blade and created a powerful connection between Keotsu and the sword. The Mythril blade retained its ability to change it's shape, but not it's mass when subjected to Keotsu's chakras, as did the scabbard of the weapon, though the two were no longer explicitly linked. A few improvements were noted by Keotsu, though: the blade seemed to resonate better than before, boosting his powers in battle; second, the blade came to reject energies that were foreign to Keotsu - that's to say, for example, if an enemy tried to use Nagashi after grabbing the blade, the energy would stop completely due to the nature of the blade's composition. This particular power comes about from the blade's new found synergy with Keotsu, in an effort to prevent it from being used against him. Retaining all the properties of the metal it was forged from, Mythos is indestructible and will never dull, in any of its forms.
*The user can manipulate the blade’s form during battle at any time, but it costs 35 chakra to do so, and also counts towards one of that turn’s three allotted moves.
*Can only be wielded by Keotsu. When someone else tries to hold the blade, it will reject their chakra and increase its density exponentially, making it to heavy to be lifted. However, it reverts to its original density when Keotsu is holding it.
*While the sword can transform into different types of weapons, like a katana or spear, it is bound by its mass, meaning that the form it takes on has to be within the realms of creating from the same amount of matter.
*While Mythos is in hand, Keotsu is unable to cast Genjutsu at all.

Description: After decades of research and selective breeding the High Breed were born, the High Breed, bred to be genetically superior to all other Ninkens immediately displayed talents that completely overshadowed that of lesser breeds from a young age. High Breed's are born with a more robust constitution, resulting in them being larger, stronger and faster than other breeds. They also look far more wolf-like as a result of their wolf-rich bloodline. High Breeds display savage intellect, and are capable of exercising great cunning and problem solving abilities; and as a result of their advanced intellect they have gained the ability of articulation. Other talents include a healing factor, senses twice as strong as a normal Ninken's, and a greater synergy with their Inuzuka counterparts; resulting in fusion and transformation techniques used with a High Breed being a third larger, with time-limited fusion techniques having their duration increased by two turns. However High Breed's have been known to reject their Inuzuka counterparts, entering into a faux relationship for a time, and then turning on their paired Inuzuka the moment they have grown large enough to kill their ill-suited partners. As a result the High Breed were kept secret and many voted for their extermination, but in the end they were merely banished into the woods of Konohagakure, kept alive in case the clan should have need for them in the future. However, should a High Breed fully accept an Inuzuka a most curious phenomenon will occur in which both the High Breed and Inuzuka will become mentally linked, capable of sharing thoughts, feelings and experiences with each other, with such a deeply intimate bond being the absolute apex of a Inuzuka and Ninken bond. A High Breeds ability to 'smell' chakra is also unprecedented, far outstripping that of Ninken such as Akamaru as they are capable of accurately gauging the strength of opponents and techniques among other things. (To be explored further in techniques). Lastly, as a result of the selective breeding and genetic manipulation used to create High Breeds, many High Breeds have experienced genetic mutations, some more simple, such as heterochromia, others more noticeable such as having multiple tails, a paw that's far larger than others, exceptionally long claws and so on. The High Breed also hold a greater affinity to chakra than normal Ninken, ensuring that they excel at walking on water, tree climbing and chakra based Inuzuka techniques, with their actual chakra being dense and bountiful, holding a chakra supply equal to half of their Inuzuka partner and also possessing an affinity towards at least one element. (A high breed cannot use Ninjutsu or elemental Taijutsu (Aside from Inuzuka techniques of course) by default, instead their supposed affinities are there to be explored in future techniques).
Note:
- Must either be posted in the users bio (Along with an explanation of how they met a High Breed and a description of their High Breed) or posted at the start of a battle. (In which case their High Breed by default will simply look like a wolf that, for it's age, is up to twice larger than any known Ninken.)
- Kuromaru - the only Ninken who has displayed articulation abilities to date, is a High Breed descendant, and is the result of an experiment to water down the thick blood of High Breeds to create a less talented, yet as a result more tame, and still somewhat remarkable Ninken.
- High Breeds receive a +20 damage boost to their Inuzuka techniques, and are a rank faster than their Inuzuka counterpart.
- High Breeds are capable of healing faster than normal Ninkens, on it's own this means little in battle, aside from the fact that they are capable of recovering from minor scratches over the course of three turns, and that they rarely suffer from fatigue, capable of running for days on end without tiring.

Rank: S
Type: Supplementary/Offensive/Defensive
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 40 ( -15 per turn )
Damage Points: N/A
Description: This technique was designed to rectify the weaknesses of managing multiple bodies within Battle. Many Inuzuka found that their Ninkens became easy targets for area of effect Ninjutsu techniques, and often experienced problems with defending from widespread attacks without compromising their Ninkens health or position. As such this technique was developed as a fix for these flaws. This technique allows an Inuzuka to enter into a lasting fusion with their Ninken(s). While fused the Ninken will inhabit the users body and the user will gain the ability to use techniques that require 'Four Legged Beast' transformation as a perquisite and will also gain the senses of their Ninken. The Ninken(s) will be aware of the world through the users senses however their mind and chakra systems will remain separate. The Inuzuka however will still be capable of tapping into their Ninken's chakra supply, and will be capable of using it to bolster their own supply for future techniques. Lastly, fused Ninken can demerge from their host body at any point in time, and can also choose to re-emerge without cost. Merging and de-merging however is not instant, instead it simply functions as a Ninken or Inuzuka walking outside of the hosts body - and as such is far inferior to the merging abilities of Souma No Kou. One added benefit is that a host can have appendages such as tails or wolf ears that can prove useful in combat, but are largely cosmetic, the main host can also be switched at will - housing the user and other Ninken(s) within a Ninken's body instead.
Note:
- Must be posted at either the start of the battle or in the users bio, and is active at all times. (In the case of the users bio, the user will be incapable of using more than two techniques on their first post in a battle or event, and will suffer the respective chakra cost too)
- In the case of deactivation (On the users account or as a result of an enemy technique) this technique can be reactivated again at the cost of the move. Each reactivation will require more chakra than the last, doubling each time.
- This technique serves as the ultimate baseline form for Inuzuka's. After using another transformation the user is capable of reverting back to this form without completely cancelling the previous transformation, instead they retain the physiological benefits of the other transformation (Such as increased sensing and other abilities) and are also capable of re-entering the previously activated transformation without cost as it is still considered active. (Does not distort or ignore turn restrictions)
- For the purpose of this technique, normal Ninkens will each have a supply of 200 chakra that the user is capable of accessing.

Damage: N/A
Description: Said to have once been regularly worn by the 29th Daijō-daijin, Sai Inuzuka, Chungsu’s Peace is a unique artifact made from chakra reactive metal that grants it unique transformative properties to lessen the sensory burden on individuals with enhanced senses. In its initial state, the black and white, birdlike domino mask simply serves to protect the user from blinding effects from bright lights. It’s only when the mask is transformed into one of its two forms that the passive abilities it possesses reveal themselves. The first ability grants the wearer passive immunity to all hindering sound techniques A rank and below, to include illusions triggered by sounds. The second ability grants the user passive immunity to foul stenches and strong odors, protecting them from inhaling airborne particulates such as fumes, vapors, poison gases, and airborne microorganisms that are either naturally occurring or the result of A-rank and below techniques. Once it's abilities have been used, the mask returns to its initial state.
Notes:
- Transforming the mask is passive and does not require a move slot. The mask can only take one form at a time.
- In its first form, the artifact can block A rank and below airborne particulates twice per arc.
- In its second form, the artifact can block A rank and below hindering sound waves twice per arc.
- The artifact's passive abilities recharge at the beginning of each arc.
