[Nin] Shinta-sensei teaches Zanithe Ninjustu

[Zanithe]

I create a swarm of sakura in front of a clone I made, blocking his eyesight. As my clone removes the many petals I threw at him, I stab him in the stomach. The clone is revealed to be an earth clone, lol.

I think this jutsu can be reflected by some wind jutsu? .__. I don't understand where the sakura comes from, do I throw it or like form sakura from my chakra? #Confused. Answering the question, I'd react by using some kind of wind jutsu, like the ones that blows, to deflect the petals. I definitely would not remove the petals one by one, it'll take a year xD. I'd use this to my advantage by using this against someone without the wind hype. I'm pretty sure some wind jutsu would kill this.

--

As I see another black cat about to pass by me, I quickly project my chakra at the cat. I use my chakra in a way that dominates the cat. This leaves the cat utterly stunned, as if there was a tight strap tying him in that place.

This sucks to be used against big summons. Caz it can only work on summons as big as me. There are only like few of that caz most prefer bigger summons. But I like it, it works on other animals .____. Freezing them in place is useful, especially when it's an op summon but smaller than you.

 

[Shinta]

You create them using your chakra, or utilise any in the nearby terrain... usually you'll create them with your chakra, so in fact the petals or just flecks of chakra O__O'

Also... stop picking on cats .__.

Now for... Killing intent!

Spoiler

(Sakki) - Killing Intent
Rank: D - S
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short - Long
Chakra cost: N/A
Damage points: N/A
Description: Killing Intent pertains to the ability of the user giving off their pure killing intention and having it affect their opponent and others around them up to the point of paralyzing them. When the Killing Intent is particularly strong, it can even give the victim visions of their own gruesome death, nausea, pain, etc. This can cause the Killing Intent to be confused with a genjutsu, despite not being a genjutsu at all; simply a showcase of intention and power. The target will feel as if facing an overwhelming enemy and, even if not a sensor, will suddenly feel the pressure of the users chakra and its magnitude, making the effect that much more dramatic. To effectively be used, the user needs to focus on his target and concentrate on the killing intent towards it, meaning that one must see the target and be focused on it. The strength of the Killing Intent is dependent on many factors and go through several levels. If a difference in rank smaller than 2 ranks exist, the enemy will feel only the pressure and the ominous presence of their dark intentions. Its enough to lose your grasp on a weapon or stay clinched to it (depending on the situation) or even to hesitate in an attack, stumble or mess up a handseal, all depending on the situation and proximity. The effect is small and normally not that significant but can be effectively used to pressure enemies into making a mistake. If a difference of 2 ranks or more exist, the enemy will be frozen, almost unable to move as the overwhelming killing intent dominates their own conscious and riddles them with nightmarish versions of death. The paralyzation gradually weakens as time passes and can only be maintained while the user is focused on the target. The further away the target, the weaker it is and it can only fully paralyze a target within short range. Similarly, the more targets one focuses on, the weaker the effect is in each one (divinding the effects equally between the number of targets). Lastly, the stronger the user is in relation to the target, the stronger the effect will be. The target can counter Killing Intent directed at it through pain, "mind cleansing" techniques or their own Killing Intent.
Note: Intensity of technique depends on the rank of the user, distance to target and number of targets one is focusing on
Note: Can only be used once
Note: Lasts only while the user is focusing on it and while focusing on it the user can't mold chakra

Can only be used once, I'll stress that part. You have to be able to see your target ie a direct line of sight to your target, in order to affect them.
Some points taken directly from the jutsu:
If a difference in rank smaller than 2 ranks exist, the enemy will feel only the pressure and the ominous presence of their dark intentions. Its enough to lose your grasp on a weapon or stay clinched to it (depending on the situation) or even to hesitate in an attack, stumble or mess up a handseal, all depending on the situation and proximity.
and
If a difference of 2 ranks or more exist, the enemy will be frozen, almost unable to move as the overwhelming killing intent dominates their own conscious and riddles them with nightmarish versions of death.

As long as you sustain the effect of projecting your malicious, killing intent on your opponent, you cannot use ninjutsu or do anything more than throw a kunai at your target. The more targets you focus on, the less effective this jutsu is; also the further away you are, the less effective this jutsu is.

How would you combine this jutsu to effectively take out an opponent? Would would happen if you used this jutsu against me in battle?

 

[Zanithe]

I love cats, but not the black ones! .__.

I look at my enemy with my eyes, with complete killing intent. Since he our difference in rank is 1 (let's say he does), he feels the pressure and the presence of my dark intention. This makes him drop a sword he was holding onto.

It sucks that it only lasts on the turn its used, if it extends a little more some combinations can be done. I think that the "frozen" state is definitely worth looking out for, just caz this jutsu is pretty rare. Combinations, after dead tired from a simply awesome battle, I might use this to end the fight in such an awesome way. If the enemy is frozen, if he is still, I can attack him. Not sure if he is frozen though x.x

For the second question, I'm not sure ;__; I always sucked at greater than and less than .__. I assume that the ranks are "Genin, chunin, kage, s class, etc". Since I'm still on S Class and you are a Sage, there is a 2 difference between us, Sannin and Kage. Accordingly, the enemy will be frozen if there is a difference of two or more ranks. I don't know if I have it wrong, please correct me ;__;

So if you use it on an opponent that is two ranks lower than yourself, then they will be adversely effected. However, I am two ranks higher than you, so you'd simply be wasting a jutsu on me as I would be able to simply shrug it off... or reflect it back with my own Sakki xD

Don't forget that you can use this to aid allies in battle by trapping the opponent in place, and it also lasts for as many turns as you want to keep the Killing intent focused; it is just that the longer you hold the Sakki, the less effective it becomes.

Any further questions?

 

[Zanithe]

No sir, thank you for clearing that up ^^

 

[Shinta]

Cool, don't be afraid to spend extra time on questions. It's better to know now, or get any ideas on how you'd use jutsu checked now, instead of losing a tournament or NW match.

Spoiler

(Utsusemi no Jutsu) - Empty Cicada Shell Technique
Rank: D
Type:Supplementary
Range:Short-Long
Chakra Cost: 10
Damage Points:N/A
Description: Forming the needed hand seal Ram, a shinobi can project his voice to a different area to hide their location and the number of allies at their side. It is an excellent complement to stealth tactics.

This jutsu utilises your chakra to project your voice *after the Ram seal* to anywhere on the battle field, particularly useful as this is a long-range jutsu.
Do you see this as useful in battle and why?

Spoiler

(Muon Satsujin Jutsu) - Silent Homicide Technique
Rank: D
Type:Attack
Range:Short-Mid
Chakra Cost:10
Damage Points:20
Description: Muon Satsujin Jutsu, the ability to commit a silent homicide, is a technique to dispatch your foe with no warning. Your quick speed and skills will instantly kill them before they can provide a defense. Best tactic is when used with Hidden Mist jutsu. The technique works by having the user focus his chakra and his complete attention on moving fluidly, rapidly but muffling any sound he may make while moving as well as his presence, etc. It doesn't suppress his chakra or hides it but it can make the opponent virtually undetected if he manages to get on the opponents blind spot.

Zabuza's signature jutsu. You use chakra to muffle your movements and move slightly faster in order to catch your opponents blind-spot, before finishing them with a sword/blade etc. Works better with hiding in the mist jutsu.
How would you use this in battle? Why is Hiding in the mist jutsu a good combo with this and are there any other jutsu that can also be used in combination with this?

 

[Zanithe]

I perform the required handseal Ram and project my voice to the whole training grounds. My location is therefore hidden.

This jutsu is useful to hide one's location, at least to buy time to escape or plan some kind of sneak attack. This is also useful in a squad mission, because it can also hide your squadmate's location. However, there are quite some things I don't understand about this jutsu, like how am I hidden? Do I become invisible, or when I hide behind a bush and no one can sense I am there? I just don't quite get how the voice and how I will hide are connected.

I use my chakra to make my movements a little faster. As I do, I take my sword and rapidly run towards a tree in perfect silence, slicing it. The tree only makes a sound after it was slices; whereas before everything was silent.

I'd use it in combination with techniques that hide the user's face. I mean since this one is silent, you only need to hide yourself to make it a perfect sneak attack. It's best with Hiding in the Mist because the said jutsu kind of blinds or messes up the opponent's view. So making you unseeable and unhearable is a perfect combination. It's hard to think of other jutsus that can work well with this, other than those that block the vision. And I understand this technique pretty well so I have no questions ^^

 

[Shinta]

It's a tool to help you hide, not one that hides your location. How do you think you can hide your location with that jutsu?

 

[Zanithe]

Maybe my enemy would be too focused on hearing my voice as I hide? Sorry sir but this is what I think it is.

 

[Shinta]

Have you seen in some movies, where the guy is sneaking around and hasn't been spotted yet but then he comes across a guard and her needs to divert his attention? He thread a small rock in the other direction and the guard goes to check out out, then the guy hurries off to safety.
We are ninja, stealth plays a vital role in ninja stuff. Perhaps I should word my previous question differently, how can this jutsu help you remain hidden? Don't rush your answer in the hope I'll reply quicker, think about it first, then think some more.

 

[Zanithe]

Sorry sensei, I will try my best not to make this happen again U.U

Also, thanks for that movie example because I think I got it.

Spoiler

..........Enemy........
L.........................R
..........FOREST.......
.............Me...........
............Trees........
.....Escape Route....

So, the enemy is confused of where to go. To continue hiding myself beneath the forest, I project my voice to the place marked "R", to make the opponent believe I am in the area R. As he looks for me there, I escape through the trees and run away through the escape route. (Basically I'm trying to formulate a situation to use this jutsu.)

Answering the question, it helps me remain hidden because I can make my enemy think I am in a different location by hearing my voice in that location. While he is looking for me in that location, I am actually hiding in another location. Or at least that's how I understood it.

 

[Shinta]

So basically, for this jutsu to help you hide, you already need to be hidden?

 

[Zanithe]

No sir. I'll try some different scenarios. Me and my two teammates are faced off with three other shinobis. We are in a plain grassy field. I might use this jutsu and project my voice to the insides of the forest, making my voice sound very loud. As they look at the forest and become confused like; what's his voice doing there, the guy is over here. As they deduce the situation me and my teammates run to the forest, maybe formulate a plan or escape. I'll try adding another one, like I'm sneaking into some kind of lair. To make the guards look away, I use this jutsu to project my voice somewhere far. This makes him want to check what the voice was, allowing myself to enter the lair. So it can be used even if you are not hidden.

 

[Shinta]

Better O__O'

One final D-rank jutsu. There is a female specific d-rank though it is self explanatory.

Spoiler

(Oboro Bunshin no Jutsu) – Haze Clone Technique
Rank: D
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short-Long
Chakra cost: 10
Damage N/A
Description: Haze clone technique is like the regular clone technique in creating intangible clones, although these clones will let the enemy go through them without being dispelled or released. Doujutsu can see through these clones as unlike Shadow Clones, they are intangible and lack any form of chakra circulatory system, chakra flow, etc; they are simple images made by chakra. They cannot do harm to any enemy but can be used to communicate and distract the enemies. The clones can be created anywhere within the users sensory field.

This clone is not an illusion but also not a tangible thing like a shadow clone. These are the clones the Academy students had to create in order to graduate into Genin's... though Naruto went a step further and learned the Shadow Clone Jutsu instead.
Basically, this is just another distraction tool in your ninja trick book, the clone can speak and move around though it has no physical presence to interact with material things. It follows the basic clone rules of Rei's R&R's and you can only create a max of four at any one time.

How would you use this in battle? Also give me your general thoughts on this jutsu.

 

[Zanithe]

As I see a rabbit come along, I use my chakra to create a clone—something that is not an illusion but something near images. Something that can speak and talk but is not solid. Something that doesn't have any chakra system, something intagible. The clone was able to talk to the rabbit. The clone was able to run around. However when the rabbit tried to touch the clone, his paws simply passed through. The clone did not dispell however.

At first sight this jutsu was a meh, but when I read through it, it is actually good. The E Rank would dispell after getting hit, and this jutsu is just a rank ahead but has a big difference. I'd use it in battle to, .__. distract my enemy. Some tactics can be; I use this jutsu. I act as if the clone is a real shadow clone by making both of us work together. Of course the clone would always be the vulnerable one to be attacked. I would try my best to not make any of us touch each other, so my enemy won't be like "What, that's not a shadow clone, it's not solid!". As he does a kick (and I am ready to kick next), he'll try to like block the clone's kick. As he sees the clone's feet passes through, he'll be like, "Is that kamui!!?". As he thinks what the hell is happening, I, the one who is ready to kick after the clone, kicks him. My general thoughts. This jutsu is another jutsu applicable to lots of SUPRISE! techniques. The kind that makes the enemy wonder as they see the jutsu's abilities. I really really want to test this jutsu out and think of lots of more combinations with it.

 

[Shinta]

Briefly summarise what Explosive tags are and the uses for them in battle.

Explosive Tags

Spoiler

(Fuda Kakusu no Jutsu) Tag Hidding Technique
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.

Pretty self explanatory and an ability that a few jutsu rely upon. You will need to hold the tag flat against the object you are hiding it in before channelling your chakra to allow the tag to sift through the molecules of the object, before releasing our chakra and leaving it stuck there. Of course this would be a proximity explosive tag or one that you activate using a hand seal... or the following jutsu at range.

Spoiler

(Ninpo: Jibaku Fuda: Kassei) - Ninja Art: Exploding Tag: Activate
Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short-Long
Chakra cost: 15
Damage points: 30
Description: Utilizing chakra, the user is able to activate the explosion mechanism of a distant bomb tag. The exploding tags that the Third Hokage used were different than the usual bomb tags, being yellow in color instead of white with a red border.

By resonating your chakra with that of some you've left in an explosive tag, you will be able to detonate it... Yeah. O__O'

Spoiler

( Rakka Kibaku Fuda ) - Falling Paper Bomb
Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra cost: N/A
Damage points: 30
Description: The user will throw three paper bombs connected to kunai that act like parachutes and float down above the enemy. The user will then make the confrontation hand seal to explode the explosive tags when they reach their desired location.

This is a common support attack in the Naruto games, you throw three kunai with larger tags that act as parachutes. The kunai will float down until you use the seal of Confrontation (Find a picture if you are unsure what this seal is) to detonate them.

For each of these, analyse them and tell me their uses in battle and your opinions of them.

 

[Zanithe]

An exlosive tag is usually a piece of paper with the kanji "explode" on the middle. It is usually colored white with a red border. Infusing them in chakra makes them explode. They can be attached to kunais, too. They can even explode in rainy areas. An explosive tag is one of a ninja's basic tools.

---

I take an explosive tag from the bag and walk to a nearby tree. I put the tag onto the tree and hold it flat. I channel my chakra to it to make it "merge" with the tree. Thus it becomes hidden in the tree.

Actually the first two are connected. So, hiding an explosive tag is important. More than no one can see it (other than dojutsu users) its explosion is strong. Most ninja rely on tags, too. This can also be used in more and more tactics. A trap is possible to do with this jutsu. My opinion on this jutsu, well it's one of the basics and can result to many things; tactics, traps, and explosion. So I'll use it more fluently because of the reasons stated above. Well it can work on sealing tags too.

---

I walk away from the tree to avoid the explosion. I utilize my chakra and channel it to the distant explosive tag. This makes it explode. .__.

So it's connected to the first one. If you don't do the first one you can't do this, and if you do the first one without doing this, it will be pretty much useless. In simple terms, one can't live with the other. My opinion, if I use the first one I have to do this. Because I would waste 5 chakra then.

---

I attach three explosive tags onto three kunais. I throw them at my enemy (I'll stop pickin on animals) and they float down like parachutes. I perform the Seal of Confrontation (like what Kakashi and Obito did) to make them explode as it landed on him.

I like the concept of this jutsu. It's really for support means and it can confuse the opponent (or blind his sight) with the explosions. You can do another attack after the explosion. Awesome. My opinion, good tech. Useful one too. So I'd use this when I'm fightning a group and I need to confuse some of them.

Question: If I do the Seal of Confrontation, does it detonate all three? Can't you detonate one of them and detonate another one later?

 

[Shinta]

It will detonate all three tags that you have thrown. Any other questions?

 

[Zanithe]

No sir, thank you for clearing that up ^^

 

[Shinta]

Okay, so these are Kunai based Ninjutsu for the C-ranks, see if you can also find pictures for them, as well as giving me the usual info you've being providing on previous jutsu.

Spoiler

(Sōgu: Shu Senjin) - Manipulated Tools: One Thousand Blades Attack
Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 15
Damage points: 30
Description: This technique is very similar to Twin Rising Dragons, but in this version the user only summons countless kunai from the scrolls, which are connected by strings at their hands. They then throws all the kunai at the same time on the opponent.

Summon a set of kunai from a scoll, each connected by strings to your hands. You'll then throw them all at once, using your chakra to propel them all at once.

Spoiler

(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.

Similar to the above except you take them out from your bag, using your chakra to cause them to hover near you. When ready you can unleash a volley of the ninja tool you've suspended in the air.

Spoiler

(Ninpo: Bōseki Enbu no mai) - Ninja Art: Spinning Walts Dance
Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra cost: 15
Damage points: 30
Description: The user will jump into the air and begin spinning around rapidly whilst releasing a continuous amount of kunai converging in all directions around them.

Jump in the air while spinning around, tossing kunai that land in all directions around you. Good for hitting large numbers of people or those who are trying to run circles around you.
