Sorrow’s Heart Sorrow’s Heart, unlike many of its neighbors, is strangely isolated from the Tobusekai river lands region. Bordering the Strand of the Ancients and Purgatory, Sorrow’s Heart is devoid of all life, strangely enough even the Rot. The land is laden with a hardened dark mud-like substance that has suppressed any attempt at natural life from taking root in the land. Travelers brave enough to wander past the walls of Last Bastion that reach this far east are careful to travel around Sorrow’s Heart, staying clear of the unknown mud-like substance that has said to be able to warp the natural form of life. Not even the Adherents of Rot dare touch the corrupting mud of the Great Mother. Their devotion is all for the Basmu, and Millicent.
After hearing some interesting rumors from travelers Desmond and co. head towards this so-called excavation sight. ----- Chakra: 2100-5=2095

Rebekah trots through the land, not a village in sight. This seemed like a place Grenth wouldn't fear passing by. She continued onward, south, south, south. She would keep going until a major town appeared, as she needed to confirm Grenth's whereabouts.
This marks the beginning of my mission with the following elements:
Explore a dangerous site ( 3 )
Defend yourself from wild beasts ( 2 )
Summary: As the clone, now going by Doombringer and overtaken by his secondary personality enters into the landmark he notices something strange. All around this land, the levels of ambient Natural Energy are through the roof, so much so that he begins having trouble regulating his own body, Sage Transformations overtaking him. As he explores he'll find several animals in a similar state suffering from an odd malediction. He'll have to defend himself maybe cure some of them if he's feeling generous and find out just what in the hell this place is.
The air hung heavily around him as he entered into the darkened hellhole that took the shape of a black, ichor infested mud-pit. Now, the air was most definitely not heavy in a thematic way, or a there was tension about kind of manner the air literally felt dense, and thick more like a solid or a semi-fluid than normal air restricting his movement and making it a struggle to merely breathe in. Filling the lungs with oxygen and air was a task in and of itself, but what made it worse was the utter stench of decay, rot, and corruption that laid throughout the ground and air.
All around him, in every direction, as far as he could perceive, up, down, left, right in the ground, in the liquid, in the air there was nothing but Natural energy. So much that it was perplexing, he had never in his life been in a place that was so rich with Natural energy but it wasn't normal, it had a malicious, feeling to it like it was corrupted. Like the very lifeblood of the earth was cancerous, and deadly rejecting the notion that life should exist here.
With each step forward his feet sunk slightly into the muck and grime and it clung to his feet, calves, and ankles like glue. No matter how much chakra he forced through his feet he was unable to stand upon the mud as if it wanted to swallow him up. It was frustrating, more frustrating than it should be, no, it wasn't frustrating it was maddening.
He was growing angry with each step forward into this place. "Slllummmmp." Another step forward, his left foot was hard to pull up and place back down. The suction sound popped as his foot was freed. "Sllllllump." Another step and his right foot almost didn't come out of the swamp as his leg sunk down to the middle of his shin the sloppy sickly mud clinging to him like cement before he was able to pull it up. He yelled out in bestial fury there was foam and spittle accruing on the corner of his lips.
RAAAAAAAHHHHHH!
It was somewhere in between his scream, and his right leg being freed from his restraint that he noticed without his consent without trying and without wanting it to his lower body, his feet, shins, knees, and thighs were undergoing a transformation. He was losing himself to the world, to the Natural energy as his flesh grew and shifted spreading upward as a mass of flesh, and bone.
It was an uncontrollable swelling heat that was starting at the numerous points of contact and radiating up through his body and with it, the rage was growing like an intense maelstrom inside of his chest and mind. For normal individuals, this might turn them to stone or even kill them on contact but for Doombringer it was forcefully altering his physiology and taking away any control he had over himself.
He began to breathe strenuously sucking in air and exhaling it abruptly. This place, it was dangerous for him it was like a toxin, a spreading disease that would swallow him up converting him into a hulking, raging beast. His mind would be the first to go if he didn't at least free himself from this sludge.
His mind was already clouded with sadistic, animalistic thoughts. The only thing he could do was give in, for just a moment, and try to control the last fleeting moments of his mind to harness this radical alteration to his body and mind. Each second here in this mud was another second closer to becoming nothing, to losing his mind.
(Senninka) - Sage Transformation
Type: Supplementary/Offensive/Defensive
Rank: C-A
Range: Short
Chakra: 15-30
Damage: 30-60
Description: Sage Transformation is an ability wielded by Jūgo's clan, which increases their physical abilities and allows their bodies to perform various shape-shifting feats due to their innate ability to passively absorb natural energy. It is a multifaceted ability that permits them to achieve feats ranging from creating various weapon-like appendages to altering their body structure, as well as a general increase in their physical capabilities. In the experiments created by Orochimaru, this ability is referred to as "Cursed Seal Transformation" (Juinka). The transformation can be used countless times in battle and sustained while the user has enough chakra to do so. The damage the technique can produce is proportionate to the body part altered and the way it was altered. This technique enables the user to produce melee attacks or defenses through the alteration of his body. When utilized by Mitsuki, he gains a cyan chakra shroud that forms into ethereal snakes around his body to aid in his attack range, and he grows out a single horn from his forehead.
Note: Only useable by Sage Transformation bios.
Focus, he thought. Control it, he pleaded his own psyche shredding away as his mind and thoughts grew darker and ominous. It was an impenetrable fog, suffocating, with each sinking step a rush of Natural energy, it was intoxicating for him. It took skill and effort to through the use of Sage Mode begin to regulate the Natural energy if ever so slightly. It was enough for him to take hold his own body and mind to alter the transformation and make it his own.
Two fleshy bat-like wings cracked and twisted from his back as he slammed them downward. By this point, he was waist deep. Just a moment ago, he was only shin and calf deep, in his haze he had sunk up to his waist. Had it been that long, from his last thought to this one? The wings slammed downward creating a lift allowing him to pull his body free of the muck. It was tar-like, a literal tar-trap for his kind, sucking them in, and taking everything from them. How?
HIs mind was hesitant to return his mind clearing as his body was removed from the tar-like ichor. He flapped the wings continuously now a few meters above the muddy mess that sat below him. That moment, it was like his own personal hell and the sad part was he didn't yet understand everything that was going on here. With several beats of his wings, he was able to stay aloft and move throughout the land. That was when he saw it from where he was flying something walking over the muck and mud.
(Senninka: Tsuyoi Uyoku of Illidan) - Sage Transformation: The Mighty Wings of Illidan
Type: Supplementary
Rank: A
Range: Short-Mid (when used to attack)
Chakra: 30 (+10 to sustain per turn)
Damage: 60 (when used to attack)
Description: A member of Jugo's clan uses their Sage Transformation ability to form two fleshy bat-like wings on his back. These wings can sustain flight and can be sustained for an entire battle as long as he remains conscious. The wings can be used to attack the opponent directly using sharp hook like growths from their tips, these hooks are claw-like in nature. Like most of the Jugo clan's jutsu these can be sustained as long as he has enough chakra to do so. The user can create boosters on their back once per battle that last for three turns. The boosters can be used to avoid incoming techniques by quickly changing the user's trajectory and moving them out of the way just like the Jet Booster Jump technique. This can only be done thrice per battle and counts as a move each time but can be done in the same timeframe as another technique. The user flies at their current running speed.
Note: Can only be used thrice.
Note: The boosters can only be maintained for three turns and created once, the wings can be sustained indefinitely.

An animal, no, it was another abomination like that creature from the tower it was warped, twisted, and broken a malformed mess of parts. It was demonic in form and function, well, now, it looked like him, and his people. Was this where he came from? Was this what gave him his abilities, this sludge? If his ancestors had evolved around this stagnate pit of rot than maybe like that thing, this was what gave his people their latent abilities.
Doombringer flew forward as he scooped a sample of the sludge into a receptacle storing it for later. He thought Korra might like this, whatever it was gave way to the possibility of study and enlightenment. Then he continued onward closer to the creature that was stalking through the tar-like substance. It wasn't swimming but instead walked atop the slop as if it were second nature. Doombringer got closer as the thing tilted its head and body toward him. In several groaning screeches more like the laugh of a hyena and less like the howl of a wolf it screamed out its voices numerous and discordant.
It began to run to the side as Doombringer watched it closely, it couldn't reach him where he was due to being so high so he wasn't worried. That was until several more of them began to swarm in from the surrounded areas. It seemed it was calling for reinforcements and saw Doombringer as a tasty snack.
Its multitude of eyes were now all fixed on him as it raced directly at the clone making a high-pitched cackling noise. Doombringer smiled and laughed a bit at its efforts that was until it leaped upward toward his flying position and haphazardly hurled itself at him. The others followed suit as if this creature were the leader.
Well, ****.
Doombringer would say as the creature basically glided with style through the air. He would have to reposition and go higher, or, well, he could make a point. As the creature got closer, Doombringer didn't move. Instead, he remained in place steadfast in his position until the creature got closer.
As it tried to lash out with its many maws, Doombringer would extend two growths on the back of his wingtips, slashing at the beast with precision. In an instant, the creature's front-facing head was severed from its body as it tried to snap at him. This caused it to wince in pain and squeal but it didn't finish it off. The other heads turned and shifted the extra arms and other appendages filling in the missing space.
However, it had missed its chance to wound Doombringer as it fell from its apex position and slammed down hard against the muck and slime skidding to a stop and turning to reface Doombringer its gnarly maws all focused on one specific point. Doombringer was curious, he felt like trying something actually and that meant letting them attack him again. There was an ability that might actually be useful here one he hardly used, if at all.

While the first creature got its bearings and regrouped two more appeared to be readying an assault of their own. They vaulted up into the sky toward the flying target. They must have perceived him as some sort of gnat or fly, because they acted as if he were their prey when in truth, they could very well be his. Though, they did seem to work together to some degree understanding strategy and cooperation.
As Doombringer thought about his little experiment the two wolf-like creatures got closer entering short-range with him and waving their arm as if they wanted to tear him asunder. Again he didn't deviate from his stance, instead, he seemed to develop his posture bracing for an impact. As he did this he extended both of his arms turning his palms toward the beasts.
At the last moment, right before the creatures would have made contact he slammed his palms forward at them, their midsections and bodies wide open. With this motion, he underwent a transformation extending two needle-like growths from the palms. Like hypodermic needles, the growths punctured the flesh of the creatures as the forward moment of the palm thrusts held them off from hitting their intended target. Forcibly and unexpectedly he began to drain their chakra and flesh from their bodies his experiment was as follows, could he cure these creatures.
Could he use his own Sage Transformation abilities to remove the malediction that was plaguing these creatures? If he could, maybe the Sado that was in control of their main body could heal this cesspool. Now, Sado's secondary personality was a sadistic, amoral, being but he did understand that the Resonance seal that held him could be loosened if Sado saw that his secondary personality was working within the constraints of what he envisioned. A notion of "we can work together" might be the first step in repairing themselves. Thus this curious, query of seeing if he could remove the curse upon these creatures.
He gripped the fur on both of the beasts as he began to basically drink-in their chakra, flesh, bone and natural energy. This was actually the first time he had ever used this ability on something. In honesty, it felt, like the first sip of alcohol after an addict had finally gone sober, that sip that slipped them back into addiction.
It was just as invigorating as that sludge below, the beasts yelped and cowered their bodies shaking the various maws shrinking away as Doombringer basically nullified their transformation. It was weird, that he would find himself here, he was maybe one of the only people that could do anything about this. More so, it seemed to be working as the beasts were each reverting gradually back into an unaltered and untampered with form.
Their extra appendages and maws, and claws all faded away as what was left was two tiny malnourished puppies. Now, that was odd, they didn't revert to mangey wolves, or crazed hyena these were diminutive puppies before they underwent whatever transformation had forced them into that form. This phenomenon required further testing.
Now that's interesting, isn't it? You're actually cute, a bit underfed, but normal.
(Saibō Kyūin) - Cellular Regeneration Absorption
Type: Offensive/Supplementary Rank: B-S Range: Short Chakra:20-40 Damage: N/A (can heal 40-80 damage) Description: While in a transformed state, the user extends a needle-like protuberance from their body, then injects it into a target so as to begin siphoning chakra off the individual on the receiving end. And beyond chakra, the needle-like structure enables the acquisition of selected organs or flesh; thereafter, healing their own body. This allows the user to recover from substantial bodily damage and when paired alongside a more potent sage transformation move (e.g., Complete Sage Transformation) it can allow them to survive injuries that would ordinarily be fatal. That being said, this method of healing isn't on par with fields like medical ninjutsu and merely repurposes the organs, flesh, bones, muscles, etc., all of which are derived from the target's body. Ergo, the user is obliged to intake the same things that they intend to heal with regards to their own body. Also, the use of this move is able to reverse the resulting side effect from its counterpart, Cellular Regeneration Ejection.
Note: Only useable thrice per battle, with S-rank useable once.

Doombringer would look down at the other beast that had regrouped. He held the tiny pups in his hands as the final wolf-like creature made its second leap toward him. Without missing a beat, Doombringer merely used his wings to sever the entire creature in two spraying blood and viscera about as it fell back to the ground dead.
How sad, my hands were already full. If you had waited maybe I could have cured you too.
It was said with an empty, emotionless inflection as if he didn't care either way saving or slaughtering meant nothing to him.
Doombringer sedated the animals to take back as test subjects and collected a decent amount of the sludge to study.
The duo arrived at the mud filled terrain, though using the wings that Sado gifted them, they stayed in flight to avoid touching the black, hardened mud. With Koto's sensing ability, she was able to track the huge chakra that was coming from the Cultist named Bob. Upon approaching him, he seemed like a raw idiot. But this didn't allow the duo to underestimate him. With him in plain view just 12m away, the duo issues a challenge.
Well on his way north, Alucard would continue seeking origins of the army he had decimated, apart from a dark mud - there was nothing here for Alucard and he left.
Mission:
-Deal with a traumatic event from your past
-Uncover Zagreus Location
Hades clutched the piece of paper with the last written word's of his daughter, Plutus. The old man had been helpful, carrying on a message from the past, all these years, Hades was truly grateful. Plutus was always the calm and collected one, keeping his other children in line, even though she was not the oldest. From her letter, she was explicit, that all his other children, where now gone. Hades had no way to get them back, as their very bones would be lost to the sands of time, and even Plutus herself, was now gone. The more Hades thought about it, the more his heart ached in his chest, his beautiful daughter, forced into fleeing for her life, only to have left one more piece for Hades to work with, the fact that, it seemed, Zagreus was not yet lost.
This small snippet of information was all Hades had to go on. A seer, foretelling Hades arrival in the temple, and this land, now, beneath his feet, devoid of life, being so close to the place at which Hades awoke, could not be coincidence. However, the land itself, like Hades heart, seemed to weep. The word baron didn't begin to explain what was going on here. Not only was there no life growing, it felt like life itself was being forcefully snuffed out just by attempting to exist. Hades had a some what natural sense of life force, being a perfect sage, he was able to feel the very nature around him, yet here, on this soil, the life seemed to cry for help.
The more Hades walked, the bleaker it felt. The further into the land he walked, the more the world felt like it was rejecting the land. However, even as the ground beneath his seemed to be trying to eat at Hades very own life force, it was not his point to try fix the land, but instead, he was aiming to find, something. Something, that Hades wasn't even sure he knew what he was searching for. The cryptic message merely stated that Zagreus soul had not yet crossed over, but was in Limbo. Plutus, to the best of Hades knowledge, did not possess techniques that could anchor a soul, so it was likely the seer, who had given Plutus the means to keep Zagreus soul in this world all these years. However, Hades was stuck with the notion of, what kind of technique was he searching for. Was there a tether somewhere in these lands, or maybe a structure with which Zagreus soul was tied to. Or perhaps, Zagreus' body was set into stasis, similar to Hades slumber, but that would contradict what Plutus had said, about Zagreus dying, unless that was a rouse.
Hades stopped, deep in thought, and produced the letter. Re reading it, once, twice, three times. Plutus was very clear, Zagreus was dead. Yet, Hades would find him here. This lead Hades to a simple conclusion. Zagreus' body was likely here, some form of forbidden technique bound his soul to his body, so it could not be in his body, nor could it pass over to the next world. If this was the case, likely, there would be some form of seal, keeping the body from decaying, a similar seal to the one Hades himself used on his own body when he would sleep for long a duration. Plutus knew how to use that specific seal. At this realization, the information clicked into Hades head. It was so blindly obvious, now that he understood. Zagreus was here, sealed in stasis, with his soul tethered to his body. This made things much easier, as Hades now, simply had to located a barrier of some description, in this wasteland.
Hades had the benefit that, the land itself was devoid of life. Also, this barrier would be utilizing a chakra signature, although after all this time, it would likely be faint. Immediately, Hades would activate his Sharingan. Unlikely the Byakugan, he was unable to see through objects, but what he would be able to do is see a chakra signature. As soon as Hades activated his sharingan, he began running, and running, covering as much ground as he could, looking, searching, for even the faintest light of chakra.
Multiple hours passed, and Hades had come up empty. Perhaps he was wrong, maybe this wasn't the right area. Hades had covered a large area, but he was confident that with his eyes, he would have been able to at least find something, even without traversing the entire location. Slumping down to the ground, Hades crossed his legs, and placed his hands in his lap, closing his eyes, and allowing the natural energy around him become one with his body. This was tricky, the amount of natural energy here was low, and it was not easy going. In a normal, energy rich area, Hades could archive what he was aiming for in a matter of minutes, but in the desolate wasteland of life, it took Hades almost a full hour to tap into the natural flow around him. The moment he did, Hades began searching, for anything, something that was different, something that felt off, or out of the ordinary. Thirty minutes passed, until finally, Hades sensed, something. It was faint, but it felt like a combination of natural life and chakra, buried deep, deep underground. Hades was able to figure out a general location, but unable to pin point it exactly.
Standing up, Hades began running towards the area, all the while keeping his body in tune with the area. As he got closer, the faint signal became slightly more obvious, but it was still as if it was fading, or dying. As Hades stood, where he believed the chakra and energy was located, he set to work. Activating his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, Hades manifested two large, skeletal hands, and began ripping large mounds of earth out of the was, excavating the area, and digging down to where the chakra was located. As Hades got closer and closer, through his Sharingan, he was finally able to see it, somewhat clearly. Little time passed, maybe a few minutes, before Hades broke the roof of the cavern, and fell down 20 ft to the ground below. Glancing around, it appear to be an old cave system, long since buried under the ground above. Turning around, Hades set his eyes on the pale blue barrier which was tucked away in the corner of the cavern.
Walking up to it, slowly, Hades eyes immediately gave into his sorrow. Tears began slowly trickling down his face, sadness wrapping itself over Hades face, as he came face to face with his son. Behind the blue barrier, lay a body. The six eyed mask, was clearly his sons, yet the mangled carcass which lay under it, Hades was unsure. The sheer appearance and brutality that had been done to his sons corpse, took the strength out of Hades legs as he collapsed, a hand on the blue barrier. Through the tears, Hades could make out more and more evidence that this was his beloved son, Zagreus. For several minutes, Hades simply sat there, sobbing, uncontrollably, apologizing over and over, as if his son could hear him, for not being there, for forsaking his family in there time of need, and for allowing them to have felt such pain.
The tears would not stop, as Hades became lost in his own thoughts. Hades was unsure how far away his kingdom would have been from this cavern, yet Zagreus had somehow held on, all this way, with his sister, who was also injured according to her letter, carrying this mangled mess of a corpse on her back, he had hung on, enough that his sister could seal him here, for Hades to find. Hades grief slowly, and uncharacteristically, turned into anger. Anger at himself, for choosing a bad time to leave his family. Angry at the clans, whose greed knew no limits. Anger at the world, and the gods, for allowing humans to be so destructive and terrible. Slamming his hands on the barrier time and time again, through his anger, and tears, Hades screamed out in rage, and pain, both physical, and mental, before dropping his arms down by his side, the tears still flowing, as he saw the blood trickling down the barrier.
In his moment of outburst, Hades hadn't even noticed, the barrier slowly burning away at his hands, ripping the flesh and muscle, and destroying them, but at the same time, Hades natural healing factor was repairing the damage as fast as it was happening, causing Hades to continue to just splatter blood all over the barrier in his moment of outburst. Hades sat, slumped, in front of his sons corpse for several minutes, his mind going blank, as a mixture of emotions he was very rarely capable of expressing flooded his mind, and short circuited his brain for a moment, as he kept running the same thoughts over and over and over in his head, his anger, and sadness, blending into one core emotion, and eventually, turning into determination.
Suddenly, Hades eyes shot open, and he stood up, placing one hand on the barrier, even though it was burning, he cared not. A stern look crossed Hades face, as he spoke, to Zagreus, or at least, to his corpse, and out the world itself.
I promise, Plutus, your sacrifice, your strength, your will and determination, will not go to waste. I promise, i will save Zagreus, in whatever way i have to, with whatever means i have to use, i Promise, Zagreus, you will walk by my side again, no matter the cost...
With a single handseal, a clone, made of wood release, grew from the ground next to Hades. Without word, the clone already knowing what needed to be done, raced off, leaping out of the cavern, and into the night, looking for something. As it did, Hades once more sat down, it was time to atone for his sin of leaving, and it was time prepare.
( Doujutsu: Sharingan ) Eye Technique: Copy Wheel Eye
Type: Supplementary
Rank: C - A Rank
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 15 - 30 ( -5 per turn for 1T and 2T, 10 per turn to keep active for 3T )
Damage: N/A
Description:
One of the Three Great Dōjutsu (San Daidōjutsu), the Sharingan is the kekkei genkai of the Uchiha clan. Unlike the other Dōjutsu, not all members of the Uchiha Clan possess the Sharingan. This great Dōjutsu seems to awaken only on exceptional Uchiha members and only in times of great stress. Once awaken, the pupil turns red and a single tomoe (巴) seal appears around the center pupil. As the user masters and evolves their eyes, the tomoe (巴) seals increase, topping 3 per eye. The main ability of the Sharingan, like any other Dōjutsu, is to enable the user to see the flow of chakra. This ability is further improved as the Sharingan gives color to chakra, enabling the user to differentiate chakras from different people or from different sources. Although the user can see chakra through matter, he cannot see beyond dense matter or in long distances. Coupled with the ability to see chakra, Sharingan users gain acess to an incredible clarity of perception that enables them to read insanely fast movements or minor details, enabling them the ability to foresee in an easier way, traps, incoming attacks, etc. This clarity of perception is so great that a Sharingan user can sometimes start performing a counter to an attack that is still being performed, enabling the counter to be launched only a split a second after the attack. This clarity of perception leaves Sharingan users able to track high speed movement easily as well as to read through handseals. This last ability enables them to learn techniques much faster and sometimes copy them directly from the enemy, as long as the user has the necessary chakra affinities and requirements to perform it. Finally, the Sharingan is often linked to Genjutsu and mind-manipulating illusions, mostly because the user can, mostly through Eye Contact, directly and precisely use his chakra to manipulate the enemy's chakra flow. In return, the users clarity of perception gives him the ability to more easily decipher visual illusions cast upon him and see past them. The Sharingan has a great cost to the user though. The chakra consumption disables its use for long periods of time and, even when the user grows stronger, it's still hard to keep it active for long periods of time.
Note: The user, if he hasn't gained full mastery over his Sharingan, will need to spend a move to activate it, although as long as he has chakra and enough stamina he'll be able to keep it active until the end of the match. If the user is Sannin Rank or above and has gained his 3 Tomoe Sharingan and held it for one month, he becomes able to passively activate it, meaning he'll no longer spend a move of his 3 per turn.
Note: To avoid direct Eye Contact and be able to focus only on the body movement below the chin, the opponent needs to have mastered Taijutsu to possess the necessary skill
Note: C rank usage is for 1T Sharingan, B rank usage is reserved for 2T Sharingan. A Rank usage is reserved for 3T Sharingan.
Note: Predicting the nature of a technique or what it exactly is requires the user to either know the technique or that its a cannon technique.
Note: Danzo and Kakashi bios activate the Sharingan by removing the covers in their respective eyes and suffer a +10 chakra consumption per turn penalty
Note: The user is bound by the abilities and limits of the stage of sharingan he possesses, stated in the rules of the KG.
( Doujutsu: Eien no Mangekyou Sharingan ) - Eye Technique: Eternal Kaleidoscope Copy Wheel Eye
Type: Supplementary
Rank: Forbidden
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 70 ( -20 per turn to keep active )
Damage: N/A
Description: The Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan literally meaning " Eternal Kaleidoscope Copy Wheel Eye", is the final step in the evolutionary state of the Sharingan. While Mangekyo Sharingan is but an imperfect Dojutsu, unable to sustain and keep its own power, weakening with each use, the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan brings control and balance to the power wielded. By merging the users own MS with that of his sibling, the use is able to awaken the EMS. The EMS grants the user the same abilities granted by MS but to unsurpassed levels. While granting the user the ability to perceive the world with increadible insight, it also grants the user the ability to see through S-Rank visual illusions and track the movement speed of almost anything, perfecting the already amazing abilities of the standard MS, like casting Genjutsu without the need for handseals as long as a line of sight to the target is available. A unique feat however, is that once the user awakens EMS, he loses access to his normal MS, transitioning from 3T form to EMS directly. While MS damages the user as time passes and severely tires and drains the user as its used, the EMS doesn't. The user can keep it active without losing his eyesight or damaging himself and can use the normal MS techniques with no activation reduction or drawbacks. Its true that the chakra cost is higher, but the user will feel little to no effect in his stamina and energy. Through his EMS, Madara gained the ability to control Tailed Beasts by forcefully using his sharingan genjutsu/mind manipulation abilities to take control of the Bijuu and temporarily sever its connection to the host. If the Jinchuriki is in normal form or entering one of the transformations, it's blocked from transforming for 3 turns. If it's in incomplete form, it's forced back into normal form and left unable to access his bijuu for 3 turns and if its in complete form, the user gains control over the bijuu, manipulating its movements/actions completely for 2 turns or until the complete form ends (whatever comes first), leaving the host unable to acess his bijuu for 3 turns.
Note: Only usable by bios with EMS after meeting the necessary requirements.
Note: User needs to have activated his 3T Sharingan beforehand
Note: Once activated, lasts 10 turns per use and once the user has held the ability for 4 months, can be done passively, with no move cost.
Note: Using MS techniques don't reduce the activation time.
Note: Controlling a Bijuu is an exclusive ability of Madara Uchiha and can only be done once per battle. Once the control ends, the EMS reverts back to a 3T Sharingan. If the control is done on a complete form Jinchuriki, then the user can't do any other technique while controlling the enemy.
Note: To avoid direct Eye Contact and be able to focus only on the body movement below the chin, the opponent needs to have mastered Taijutsu to possess the necessary skill.
Note: Predicting the nature of a technique or what it exactly is requires the user to either know the technique or that its a cannon technique.
Note: While active, as long as a clear line of sight and the range is respected, the user can cast normal non-Doujutsu Genjutsu without the need for handseals. However, Doujutsu illusions still require eye contact (if feasible) or their own requirements; this ability only affects regular Genjutsu.

Description: Uchiha who have achieved Susano'o and have their Mangekyou activated are capable of calling upon Susano'o's skeletal structure, such as a ribcage for basic defence or an arm for interacting with the surroundings. This allows him to attack with quick force or to defend just as well, requiring no hand seals to trigger. The user can do this once every two turns and 4 times in total. If the user has an EMS or higher, the damage and/or defense increases by 20 damage.
Note: Mangekyou or higher must be active to utilize.

(Moku Bunshin no Jutsu) – Wood Clone Technique
Type: Supplementary
Rank: B
Range: Short
Chakra: 20
Damage: N/A
Description: The user creates clones of themselves made of wood that then sprout out of their body or are created from any nearby source of Wood, Earth or Water. These clones, however, are quite special as they maintain a mental connection to the user, communicating back to him even from long distances. An advanced use of this technique is to transform the clones into seeds that, once implanted or swallowed allow the user to track an enemy (that has it implanted or ingested it) by pinpointing his position through the same mental connection. Versatile, these clones can use Wood techniques as well as Earth and Water techniques up to S-Rank. This technique, when created by Uchiha Madara, creates clones with EMS/Rinnegan and capable of using the EMS/Rinnegan techniques like Madara himself.
Note: Follows the Clone battle rule usage restrictions
Hades wood clone had left, and it was time for Hades himself to prepare for the ritual. Hades himself, had never used this technique, and was highly relying on his memory, an old, ancient technique, he had read in an ancient library some many years ago. A way, to revive the dead. However, Hades was missing a few ingredients before he could proceed, one at which, his wood clone had gone to fetch. Through there mental connection, Hades was able to know what the clone was doing at all times, while he made his own preparations.
From a large knapsack, Hades unfurled a large scroll. Laying it down upon the ground, once more, thanking Francis for his help, as the old man had provided this bag full of a random assortment of things, all of which would prove useful in his next plan. Luckily for Hades, one of the ingredients, DNA, was right in front of him, thanks to Plutus, Zagreus body was simply in a stasis, never rotting or aging, whatever happened to his soul though, Hades was unsure. Leaving the DNA till last, Hades sliced off a large portion of the scroll, and with ink and brush, began etching symbols from memory onto the parchment, as best he could remember. Taking it slowly, Hades set to work.
Meanwhile, on the outskirts of the Sorrow, Hades Wood clone was running, tracking, with its Sharingan, a light chakra signature, just on the outskirts of the wasteland. Hades had spotted this group when he was searching for Zagreus body, but ignored them, however, today was no longer their lucky day. The Wood clone, however, was tasked with bringing one of them back alive, which was a simple feat for the clone. As the clone got close, it would stop, hiding behind a large rock. The team appeared to just be regular people, maybe merchants, maybe bandits, Hades clone didn't care, it had a job to do. Channeling its Mokuton chakra, around the camp, two small pillars would grow just behind the tents, out of sight of the three men sitting around a fire. With an extra handseal, small flowers would bloom from the pillars, and begin emitting a special pollen. Immediately, the camp was flooded with a pale yellow pollen, and the men where beginning to panic, however, it was too late. As soon as the men had come to terms with what was going on, they where all slumped forward, asleep on the ground. Walking up to the camp, the Clone would grab two of the men, binding them both in wood release, and blooming the flowers once more. These bindings and flowers would keep the men asleep, as the clone returned to Hades location.
Through the mental link, Hades could see the clone had succeeded, and was on its way back. As the clone made its way back, Hades made the final stroke on the parchment. In his mind, it looked right, but he would only know once the clone returned. However, before the clone returned, Hades had to deactivate the barrier, to gain access to Zagreus Body itself. Standing up, Hades activated his Rinnegan, and activated his preta path abilities. Placing his hand on the barrier, Hades activated his seal, absorbing the barrier, and dispersing it. As the barrier dropped, Hades heart ached, as he stepped forward, and knelt down, placing his hand on his sons face, half of which was destroyed, burnt and festered. It hurt Hades own soul, to see his son like this, yet, he knew it would not be for much longer. With a kunai, Hades removed one of Zagreus fingers, just enough as to not disfigure his body any more, and returned to the scroll. Sitting around, Hades waited, checking the scroll a few more times, making sure everything was right. As soon as the clone returned, the wood release techniques where released, and the body was laid in front of the scroll. Placing Zagreus finger on the scroll, Hades made the handseal, and nothing happened.
Puzzled, Hades Tried once more, weaving the handseal to trigger the jutsu, and nothing. Looking back over the scroll once more, Hades noticed, upon placing the finger, the blood had smeared the ink, which had yet to dry, breaking the seal. Annoyed at himself, for such a minimal mistake, Hades took out a new scroll, and rewrote the formula, this time, using a gentle wind technique to help dry the ink faster. With his finger, Hades dabbed the ink, making sure it was dry. Happy, Hades placed the scroll down once more, and smeared the blood on the scroll, as well as the finger, and made the handseal. This time, something happened. The scrolled ink began to spread, rewriting itself into an intricate design on the ground, finishing with the unconscious man in the center. As the seal finished, ash and dust began to wrap itself around the man, covering him from head to toe, before the ash faded, fell off, and the face of Zagreus lay before him.
Zagreus' eye's shot open, as he looked around feverishly. Confused, and still on edge, his eyes darted back and forth, before stopping dead on the person kneeling in front of him. Immediately, Tears rolled down Zagreus face, as he spoke, for the first time.
You really did it, you came back, just like she said. You actually came back for us, Father.
Hades own heart churned in his chest, as he stood up, walking towards his son, and knelt down, placing his forehead on his sons as he spoke.
I am so sorry, Zag, it took me all these years to find you. I failed you then, and all these years, iv'e failed you more and more, however, you will never be alone again, i promise you that.
Zagreus shook his head, back and forth, slowly standing up, unsure of his own body. It felt like his body, but it felt, wrong. Something wasn't quite right.
You didn't fail us, we failed you, for being so weak. But we shouldn't play the blame game, all that matters, is you came back. In saying that though, i feel weird, whats going on?
Pointing behind Zagreus, Hades allowed his son to see his own mangled body on the ground, as he spoke.
Even my power, cannot revive those who have died that long ago. You, right now, are neither living nor dead. You're a living corpse, reanimated, with your soul tethered to a vessel. It was the best i could do to return you to me. If you are unhappy, i can break this seal, and let your soul rest.
Shocked, Zagreus looked upon his own body, and it felt weird. To be looking upon your own corpse like that, felt so very strange. As his father spoke, Zagreus mind began racing, thinking back to the invasion, and how he had suffered his injuries, and his heart ran cold at the thought. Turning back to Hades, Zagreus smiled.
You brought me back, with the best means you could, i'll forever be thankful, that i can walk by your side once more, father.
Hades smiled, but his job was not yet done. He still had one more thing to do.
Your body is not yet ready though. I will impart this body, with a gift. A gift, an apology, and a promise. With what im about to give you, no matter where you are, as long as you walk this world, you will be able to summon me to you, at any time, for any reason, over any distance, i will be there, and never again will you have to face the world alone like you did.
From Hades Palms, black metal rods began to grow, each one, Hades injected into Zagreus new body, piercing his face, arms, legs, torso with over 50 black metal rods. Zagreus new body felt no pain, so the boy merely stood in place as this occurred. Once completed, Hades, activated his Animal path, however, as the path activated, through the chakra rods, Hades imparted the ability onto Zagreus. Over his left eye, which was black, spiraled the rinnegan, its deep purple radiating from his son, as Hades explained what had occurred.
I have given you the Animal Path, from my Rinnegan. You are able to summon animals from the Animal path summoning contract, as well as, you're able to summon me at any time over any distance. This is my gift to you.
Zagreus Smiled. With his new eye, Zagreus could see through Hades eyes, looking back at himself, and he could see the warmth and love his father had for him. Turning around to his corpse, Zagreus removed his trademark six eyed mask, and his sword, strapping both to him, the mask to his face, and the sword to his hip. Zagreus felt stronger than ever, as he turned to his father, and spoke.
I accept it graciously. However, i have to tell you about Plutus.
(Mokuton: Kyousei Mokuzai No Jutsu) Wood Release: Greater Wood Technique(x2)
Type: Supplementary/Offensive/Defensive
Rank: A
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 30
Damage: 60
Description: The user focuses and molds his chakra, using it to create Wood structures, Pillars, Trees, etc to defend, attack or support him. The Wood can be created from the users body or from earth sources and its limitations are only set by the users own imagination and the chakra put into the technique.
(Mokuton: Adobento Ten Saku) - Wood Release :Advent of Heavenly Blooming.(x2)
Type: Supplementary Rank: N/A Range: N/A Chakra: +10 additional chakra per technique Damage: N/A Description: Advent of Heavenly Blooming is a Wood release technique which is applied to any Wood release technique the user performs happening in the same time frame, costing an extra 10 chakra per technique. This techniques basis is derived from a another Wood technique, Advent of a World of Flowering Trees. Using the same principle, the user will cause all wood techniques with this applied, to subsequently bloom flowers, the flowers releasing a dangerous pollen into the air around the technique. Heavenly blooming, however, unlike World of Flowering tree's, is not subject to a single type of pollen. This technique is broken down into three different types of pollen, each have a different effect on an opponent depending on the pollen's
Sleeping Pollen: The sleeping pollen is the same as the original from the Advent of World of Flowering tree's. When this pollen is produced, small pink flowers will bloom all over the wood technique. From the flowers, a dangerous pollen will be released into the air, creating an airborne pollen around the Wood technique. This pollen, when inhaled, will cause the opponent to become drowsy extremely quickly. If an opponent is still inside the pollen cloud, inhaling the pollen One turn after the pollen is released, they will fall into a deep sleep, which will be enhanced by the pollen, keeping them asleep until they are removed from the pollen clouds.
Chakra Pollen: The chakra pollen is a more unique pollen, which doesn't directly attack an opponent physically, but attacks the chakra in their techniques. The chakra pollen is a touch based pollen, meaning the opponent only need to come into physical contact with this pollen to work. Once contact is made, the pollen will seep into the opponents body, and attack their chakra , weakening their techniques by passively absorbing chakra from the technique as it is used. For the durations of the pollen being applied, the opponents jutsu will lose -10 chakra per technique. By doingg this, the chakras pollen physically weakens the opponents jutsu while attached, causing less chakra to be poured into the technique and reducing its rank by one for the duration that the pollen is on the opponent. The pollen requires a chakra surge equal to the total chakra used to apply the pollen was. Therefore, if used on an A rank Wood jutsu, to purge the pollen will require a chakra surge 40 base chakra surge technique to purge the affects of the pollen.
Venomous Pollen: The venomous pollen is a far more aggressive pollen, attributed more like an acid than a pollen. Similar to the Chakra pollen and Sleeping pollen, the venomous pollen is applied through either inhalation or touch. The venomous pollen has a negative reaction to the cell inside skin and muscle, attacking the cells violently upon contact. When contact is made with the venomous pollen, it spread, eating away at a persons skin and muscle. Even though this is dangerous, its affects are slow, burning away at -5 HP per turn to an opponent with the venomous pollen attached to them, occuring the turn after the pollen makes contact. The venomous pollen can be treated with either a full body chakra surge, similar to the chakra pollen, overpowering the chakra inside the pollen, or cured with methods that are also used to purge Poisons from the body.
Restrictions:
Only one Pollen can be applied per Wood jutsu
This is classified as a passive technique, which can be used on One Wood jutsu per turn, occuring in the same timeframe as the wood technique applied.
All Wood ninjutsu can have these pollens applied, excluding, Wood technique, Advent of a World of Flowering Trees, which already has its own pollen in the technique.
Cannot be applied to any Wood ninjutsu which already utilize their own unique pollens
Can only be applied 5 times per battle.
( Doujutsu: Rinnegan ) Eye Technique: Samsara Eye
Type: Supplementary
Rank: S-Rank
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: N/A ( -5 per turn )
Damage: N/A
Description: One of the 3 great Doujutsu, the Rinnegan has, like the other, the ability to see chakra and the chakra flow of individuals. It also allows the user a great clarity of perception and tracking abilities, although its levels vary from user to user. It also grants a family of abilities collectively known as the Six Paths Technique. The user is also able to summon and control the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path. Certain Rinnegan abilities have only been demonstrated by single users: Madara can create corporeal shadows in the invisible world of Limbo; Momoshiki is able to absorb any ninjutsu with his right Rinnegan and release it with his Left Rinnegan; Urashiki is capable of moving through time and space when different eyes are activated. While Nagato was never able to deactivate his eyes, Madara and other wielders could switch at will between their other eyes and Rinnegan eyes, although Uchiha aren't able to go from 3 Tomoe to Rinnegan directly. Due to implanting Madara's Rinnegan into his eye, Obito loses the ability to deactivate this eye, much like Nagato.
Note: Can only be used by Rinnegan users excluding Sasuke.
Note: Requires activation ( spending move ) for other Rinnegan bios but remains active indefinetely afterwards if the user chooses to. After having for 1 month, user becomes able to switch between both doujutsu without spending a move. In the case of Madara, user needs to have activated EMS before and had it active for 1 full turn before activating.
( Gakidō ) - Preta Path
Type: Supplementary
Rank: A
Range: Short
Chakra: 30

( Fūjutsu Kyūin ) - Blocking Technique Absorption Seal
Type: Defensive
Rank: S
Range: Short
Chakra: 40 ( -100 per turn if used on an enemy )
Damage: N/A
Description: A highly advanced sealing technique that is capable of absorbing any chakra, regardless of any shape or nature transformation, and dispersing it within one's body by spinning the chakra within one's body in the opposite direction. As a result, this technique can absorb any ninjutsu based technique, regardless of power, without harming the user. Should the user get close enough to grab the opponent, the barrier can absorb chakra right out of an individual's body, effectively draining them (similar to the Chakra Absorption Technique). If the user is weakened or injured, he can use this technique to absorb chakra and replenish his chakra resources and restore his stamina and chakra flow. If used to absorb Bijuu chakra, the user can even regenerate by half the amount absorbed, using the special vitality of that powerful chakra to power his body and regenerate. However, the user will also be vulnerable to the effects of chakra he cannot control, such as with Senjutsu. Both these aspects, however, pertain to a direct contact absorption and not technique absorption. When using the technique for direct contact chakra absorption, the user can absorb up to 100 chakra points per turn which he can convert into his own.
Note: Can only be used by Rinnegan bios with the (Gakidō) - Preta Path active.
Note: Can only be used 6 times
Note: Can absorb any Ninjutsu regardless of rank, nature or other properties as long as its within the same timeframe.
( Kuchiyose Kinjutsu: Edo Tensei ) - Forbidden Summoning Technique: Impure World Reincarnation
Rank: S
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 40 (-20 per resurrection per turn )
Damage Points: N/A
Description: The Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation is a forbidden technique used to revive the dead. To perform this technique, the user must first acquire some of the DNA of the person they intend to revive such as limbs, organs or merely blood samples. The soul of the intended revived must also reside in the pure world (jōdo) those whose soul has been consumed by the Death God, or have been previously sealed by other methods cannot be resurrected. Next, a living sacrifice is required for the soul of the resurrected to use as a vessel. Once all prerequisites for the technique have been met, the acquired DNA of the person is smeared on a special scroll and once the scroll is activated, the remains spread out in the form of a special seal with the living sacrifice in the centre. Then dust and ash encase the sacrifice's body, giving them the same appearance that the revived had at the time of their death. The person is then revived and the end product is usually stored in a casket until summoned by the user by performing the Tiger → Snake → Dog → Dragon → Clap hands handseals. When the user summons the revived soul, a casket first appears before revealing the revived soul. The Edo Tensei Summoning can be countered by sealing away the targets soul or by having the summoner cancel the technique. As they are unlikely to do this voluntarily, using a genjutsu to trick them into cancelling the technique is ideal. The sequence of hand seals for cancelling the technique is Rat → Ox → Monkey → Tiger → Dragon → Boar and saying Kai. If the summoner dies before the technique is deactivated, then this method is impossible. If the summoned soul's controlling tag is overcome or disabled by a technique or if the user so wishes it, the summoned soul or the user can both sever the contract through the use of the Snake → Ram → Boar → Dog → Tiger seals. The summoned soul is then left as an immortal revived soul, autonomous and without any link to the summoner.
Note: A bio can only have up to a total of three souls for revival which must abide by a few rules, specific for the technique.
Note: The user of the technique can only have up to 3 Vessels in total. Orochimaru, Kabuto and Tobirama are able to have up to 2 Vessels present in battle though only one of these can be a vessel from a battle.
Note: If the user purchases the vessel, it can only have access to single abilities such as their HA/KG/AE. If a vessel is obtained through battle, he is able to utilize the bio's Dual Abilities, Modes and AN if obtained. Only the canon techniques of these are possible, however.
Note: The Edo Summons pertain to the bio and not the user, and only one of the bios of the user can use Edo tensei.
Note: A member must attain biographies in an offical match approved by 2 roleplay moderators for both the revival and sacrifice and cannot be given a biography willingly.
Note: Technique can only be used once per battle/event.
( Gedō: Pein Rikudō ) - Outer Path: Six Paths of Pain
Type: Supplementary
Rank: N/A
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 150 per Vessel ( -15 per body )
Damage: N/A
Description: An Outer Path jutsu that allows a Rinnegan user to control up to six bodies as though they are their own. The user embeds one or more black receivers into a body, allowing them to channel their chakra into it from great distances. Once their chakra enters the body, they are given complete control of it, allowing them to decide all of its actions, its use of jutsu, and even speak through it. This allows the user to reanimate deceased ninja as vessels to channel his Paths through. As a representation of this control, the controlled bodies' eyes take on the same appearance as the user's. And when multiple bodies are controlled together the user is able to see through all of their eyes and ergo, gain up to six more separate fields of vision at the same time. With this shared vision, the user can coordinate their attacks and provide defenses for their blind spots. For this reason, the Six Paths of Pain are strongest when used together; however, this jutsu does have a drawback. If the caster of this jutsu is interrupted in any way while transmitting chakra to the bodies, then all of the bodies will be rendered immobile.
In order to obtain a regular Path vessel, you must defeat their bio and resurrect it via use of this technique. This also requires that death be enabled if used in the Ninja World. In order to obtain an Edo Vessel, one must have permission to use Kinjutsu as well as have death enabled. Vessels obtained in this manner retain access to their Ninjutsu and abilities as well as gaining a Rinnegan Path power. Paths obtained in this manner must be defeated and cannot be generic Paths obtained via Kumi.
Note: Reincarnated Paths can't use their intrinsic abilities and their Path abilities in the same turn and must follow the restrictions of Edo Tensei summonings to be deemed valid. Bijuu, Karma markings and similar abilities cannot be retained via reanimation.
Note: Six Paths of Pain bios have no chakra upkeep.

Finally solid ground, or at least as solid as he could come to expect from Tobusekai these days. The moment he crossed the threshold from Rot to hardened mud, Emiya noticed a complete lack of Adherents and twisted lifeforms on the scarred lands touched by Tiamat in ancient times. Was it fear? Respect? Disgust to not worship another Divinity? To be leashed to another Divine Authority, that of Life than Rot? He didn't care. There were no more obstacles in his path now. It had been a strenuous journey but he was almost there. He could feel it. This close to his destination Emiya now knew for sure that he wasn't being guided towards the Strand. Somehow, for some reason he was being pulled to the ruins of Solomon's kingdom. Was the Mage King involved? Was it coincidence? Emiya would find out soon.
