[Nin] Training with Nathan-San

[Six Paths]

Nikodo is waiting patiently for his Sensei, he is sitting in a meditating pose and just embracing the beauty of Nature. He knew that the place was flowing with life, All elements combined together were able to create something this pretty. Nikodo extends his finger and a bird flies there, Yet we Ninja use it to fight and destroy everything.
Is there more to the Shinobi name, can we even be able to do more... Nikodo kept thinking various of things every time doubting the Ninja and shinobi world.

 

[Nathan]

Castiel walks up to the field to see a man sitting down, Castiel walks up closer to him.

"Hello, my name is Castiel; Are you a student of mine?"

 

[Six Paths]

After the Man greeted him Nikodo lifted his head to see him, It was a good looking man, seems like he was in his late 20s or even early 30s wearing an unbuttoned shirt, a blue tie and the signature brown trench coat, Nikodo got up, and mumbled with a soft voice.
Yes, I think I am your student. My name is Uzumaki Nikodo, I am very pleased to meet you. Nikodo gave off a smile welcoming his new Sensei, and got up order to begin the long awaited training, the thoughts he was thinking seemed like they vanished, Nikodo realised that the lonelier he is the more he will think about them. The things that must change, the things that must become just as they were, it was a long way until then...So Nikodo chose to live in the present by keeping the future dreams and ambitions in another part of the mind.

 

[Nathan]

"Hello, Nikodo. My name is Castiel, it's nice to meet you."
Castiel said as he raised his hand out in front of him, presenting his hand to the man to formally meet him.

 

[Six Paths]

After seeing the extended hand, and the smile Castiel gave, Nikodo went directly ahead for the handshake. He extended his arm forward and gave the handshake to his Sensei. Seeing the strength Nikodo's hand was grasped with he knew that Castiel was really touch, it might come from the many years of training and experiences he had.

 

[Nathan]

"Nice to meet you." - Castiel removes his hand. "So let's get straight to it, some questions before we begin. What do you know about ninjutsu? And why do you want to learn it?"

 

[Six Paths]

Ninjutsu or otherwise known as Ninja techniques refers to nearly every single thing a ninja can do by using the energy circulating his body, the energy of chakra. Ninjutsu unlike Genjutsu, which focuses more in illusion, is a real deal. The user is able to manifest different kinds of objects and manipulation of elements to actually create a Ninjutsu. Ninjutsu as well, differ from eah other in various ways, there are the easier kind of jutsu like substituting yourself, the mid difficulty is the manipulation of the elements according to the users will, and the most difficult tasks which require a perfect chakra control such as healing or nature transformation. Ninjutsu activate by the usage of chakra in various ways and forms, and as well as the utilization with the handseals, which in an according order can cast different kinds of Ninjutsu.

When creating a ninjutsu, the two methods of manipulating chakra are referred to as shape transformation and nature transformation

Shape transformation deals with controlling the movement, and potency of chakra, such as the level, density and shape.Which are all determined in size, range, and the overall purpose. By allowing your chakra to flow to a specific point of the space you can, at will, start creating an imaginary shape that the chakra will later fill up. You can make the flow of chakra faster and slower depending on the kind of jutsu you will use and you can adjust the size by depending on the density of chakra and the amount of it.

Nature transformation usually deals with changing the physical properties of chakra into an element, or by mixing 2 or more elemental chakras together to give birth to a new or known element entirely. Unlike the shape manipulation, where you fill an image with raw chakra, in the nature manipulation, you give that chakra a special affinity, you do that by concentrating on the chakra you just released and changing the properties and characteristics.

The reason I want to learn ninjutsu is because it is one of the basic Shinobi trainings and even if ninjutsu are a weapon of war, you still need to at least be able to protect the people you care about.

 

[Nathan]

Jesus Christ. That was impressive, you got it all down.

I want you try and actually gather up your raw chakra in the palm of your hand in it's purest form. Simple enough. U_U

 

[Six Paths]

You make me blush

As He heard the explanation, Nikodo extended his right arm forward. He held the arm at the wrist with his left hand. As he did that he started focusing. Chakra was always flowing through his body, so he just needed to redirect that flow to the right hand of his. Calmed down as always, he took a deep breath closed his eyes and started transferring that special energy in his hand. As he continued to do that, not much was visible on the outside, but Nikodo could feel the pressure of the chakra inside his hand at all times.

I did it, he said while lifting his head looking at Castiel waiting for him to judge the move.

"You are doing it correct, now it is time to move onto the actual techniques."

-

So I'm going to give you a choice. You can either use a template, or the other method.

So idea is simple, I will post the techniques and I will ask you to analyse them for me, for example: how to use it in battle, how to counter it, what is good about this technique (pros), what is bad about it (cons), what you like about it and etc. I think you pretty much get what I mean. The "How to perform" - part is a bit, not needed for, but you are more than welcome to perform it, if you don't understand the technique. It's better if we focus on the important things, like actually analysing the whole technique and knowing how to use it in a fight. Only filling the template is boring and sometimes not fun. I want to make this training as enjoyable as I can, I know templates can be boring and dull at times.

Something below are basic guidelines to use:

Spoiler

Example of points for every technique
+ How to be used in a battle
+ How to be countered in a battle
+ Some advantages and disadvantages
+ Your personal opinion about the technique

Do you have any questions about method?

Or you can chose to use this template:

I would go with the template, it is easier and more correct, and If I don't understand anything I might ask you anyway...

Let's begin!

(Fukumi Hari) - Hidden Needles
Rank: D
Type:Attack
Range:Short
Chakra Cost:10
Damage Points:20
Description: The user is able to call forth needles into their mouth and then spit them at their opponent with great accuracy.

This one is rather simple but the range is lame, with this one I want you to gather some chakra in your mouth and then use shape manipulation on the chakra to form chakra needles that you will spit at my clone using your great accuracy. This technique seems like it would come in rather good use if you are of course within range of your target.

 

[Six Paths]

[B]One/three advantages:[/B]
[LIST][*]1.This jutsu requires no seals. [*]2.This jutsu can be perfectly used for stealth maneuvers, since the enemy can't see what is going on inside your mouth.[*]3.[*][/LIST]
[B]One/three disadvantages:[/B]
[LIST][*]1.The technique is only short range, cause of that it makes this technique useful only in rare occasions.  [*]2.If the enemy has sharingan he can see you building up the chakra in your mouth and dodge it accordingly.[*]3.[*][/LIST]
[B]How you would use it in battle:I would use this technique mostly for stealth kills, if I get close enough to the enemy I might be able to pull it through easily. Another way might be playing dead or wounded and check if the enemy gets close enough for you to use this jutsu.[/B]
[B]How you would counter it: The needles are really thin and since they are aimed accurately, the best way in my opinion would be using earth walls, or even water walls which w\are dense enough. If you shield your whole body in any way, you counter thi jutsu easily. [/B]
[B]How you perform it (with as much detail as you can): As I heard the description of this jutsu, I start manipulating my chakra and redirecting it to my mouth. Once the chakra has been redirected, I make a small opening in my mouth, and I begin slowly letting a little chakra escape in order to form the tip of the fine needle. As it is formed, I look at the clone, focus on the basic spots where the needle would be most effective, this case it would be the eye and throat. As I took aim I release the rest of the chakra, that due to the little opening and shape manipulation became a needle, which hit the close in the eye and throat. The intense pain of being hit in the eye caused the close to be dispersed.[/B]

Good work!

(Kage Shuriken no Jutsu) - Shadow Shuriken Technique
Rank: D
Type:Attack
Range:Short-Mid
Chakra Cost:15
Damage Points:20
Description: Kage Shuriken no Jutsu is a Ninjutsu technique utilizing a giant Windmill Shuriken. When throwing the shuriken, the ninja will also throw a second giant shuriken to hide in the shadow of the first. The hidden secondary shuriken can then approach the target without their being aware.

With this one, I want you to take out two of those giant windmill shurikens, and with the first one I want you to throw it towards my clone from there, as soon as you let go of the first shuriken I want you to throw the second one to hide in the shadow of the first one you threw. This technique can get your target by surprise, and range isn't bad or so.

 

[Six Paths]

[B]One/three advantages:[/B]
[LIST][*]1.You can make an which will land at nearly all times, the enemy won't be able to see the second shuriken and even if the dodges the first one the second is gonna catch him of guard. [*]2. If the enemy were to duck under the first shuriken the second one is going to correctly chose his legs so it is close to an all time winner.[*]3.[*][/LIST]
[B]One/three disadvantages:[/B]
[LIST][*]1. Sharingan users will be able to sense you building up the chakra and be ready for almost every attack the enmy does.[*]2. A sharingan user will be able to detect the second shuriken in the shadow of the first one, since he has a perfect attention to detail[*]3. A very big earth wall will be able to tank both those shuriken easily.[*][/LIST]
[B]How you would use it in battle: To use it in battle I would make a full frontal attack with the first shuriken making the enemy pay all the attention to that shuriken and forgetting I might throw another one with it. Another way I might use it is after the Kirigakure no Jutsu so that i can hide the view of nearly everything. Or even easier after a smoke bomb.[/B]
[B]How you would counter it: I would use mostly an earth wall to counter it. The wall will catch both shuriken allowing me not to care to much. [/B]
[B]How you perform it (with as much detail as you can): As I heard the explanation I take out 2 giant windmill shuriken and bring the really close to one another, As I was doing this all as I was facing the enemy so that he won't be able to tell what I am actually doing. I throw the first shuriken with a powerful thrust, and the second shuriken following behind directly. While keeping my chakra balanced I start to affect the second shuriken making the light gradually piece through this shuriken as the actual body of it was very close to the first one. The shadow of the 1st shuriken helps as well, since it doesn't allow all the light to directly bounce of but even catch most of ti to hide the second one. [/B]

Good work, since there are so many techniques. We will do 2 - sometimes 3 per-post, if you have no issues with that?

(Ninpou: Gekka Bijin) - Ninja Arts: Beauty Under the Moonlight
Rank: D
Type:Supplementary
Range:Short
Chakra Cost:10
Damage Points:N/A
Description: The user will create a swarm of sakura(cherry blossoms)petals to surround there opponents and swirl around them causing confusion.The user can then attack there opponent from any angle they choose.Blinds opponents eyes for the turn this jutsu is used.

Now, I want you to gather you chakra and release it around my clone, then use shape manipulation on the chakra to form them into a swarm of sakura's petals. Then proceed to control the petals, swirl them around my clone; blocking the clones vision, allowing you to attack him from any direction, how ever you want. You have to be within close range of your target, which is a bummer for this.

(Sakura Fubuki no Jutsu) - Cherry Blossom Snow Storm Technique
Rank: D
Type: Attack
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra Cost: 10
Damage Points: 20
Description: The user will hurl kunai with pouches attached at their target. Upon impact, the pouches explode, releasing small explosive notes. Due to the large number of kunai thrown, a shower of notes will rain down on the target. The user will then throw one final kunai with an active explosive note at the target. It will begin to burn, and by igniting the falling smaller notes it will cause a gigantic explosion.

Okay; Take out about 10 kunai with pouches attached to the end of the kunais, put a bunch of small explosive notes in each of the pouches, and then throw them all at once, as soon as they get close to my clone the pouches explode leaving a bunch of explosive notes laying around the clone, then I want you to throw one final kunai with an active explosive note on the said kunai, and then throw it towards my clone; the burning note will ignite all the others on the ground and around my clone causing a huge explosion.

I hope you don't mind me change the style, The template thing restricts my imagination way to much then I thought.

---

For the first jutsu I gotta say best usages are to hinder the enemies vision and follow it up with a strong enough attack. Another usage might be when you are sure you must evade, the jutsu will pretty much give you enough time to run away still it isn't something a smoke bomb couldn't have done.

Advantages would be the fact you can blind more then one opponent if you are stuck in a chance like that. Another advantage is that the skill is pretty simple to follow and it doesn't have any seals, meaning you can cast it fast and most likely create a perfect opening to follow up with a jutsu that will complete the deal.

Disadvantages are of course the range. That range will allow very limited usage and it makes it sometimes really risky. Another one might be sensors and sharingan users, they can feel you building up chakra and dodge accordingly. And another one being wind attacks, they can simply blow the leaves away.

The thing i like about it is the fact you can blind an opponent easily and you can directly follow up with another tough attack. Other then that it is pretty basic.

Ok, for the next jutsu I guess better usages might be against large groups of enemy. The size of the explosion will be able to take care about many people. You can even use it against very strong defenses and break through them. You might use this jutsu better after a jutsu that render the sight of the opponent useless or one that hinders their movements. And then you can take care of them easily.

Advantages are that this jutsu might be used with more then one enemy and annihilate them as well. Another one might be that you can can use this jutsu with others who render your vision or movements useless to make it even more effective

Disadvantages are a few. One of them being wind attacks, if the person can throw all those little explosive tags back and ignite them, you are going to have a bad time, another one is that the user might be further away not to get caught in and if your ally gets dragged in you can't ignite the bombs.

My personal opinion is that this jutsu has a really big potential and you might do all sorts of stuff with it. But there are some things you need to make 100% sure off before you use it.

About the second technique, what are the things you need to be certain of before using this technique?

You need to be certain you are not in the range of the explosion or the impact will catch you and you will fall victim of your own technique as well.

That was what I was looking for, good work!

(Kanashibari no Jutsu) - Temporary Body Paralysis Technique
Rank: D
Type:Supplementary
Range:Short-Mid
Chakra:15 (-5 per turn)
Damge Points:N/A
Description: Kanashibari no Jutsu is a simple Ninjutsu technique used to temporarily bind an animal (or animals). With the target frozen in place, the ninja can either take the opportunity to attack or to retreat. It can only be used against animal (summons or not) and works by forcefully using your chakra to restrain the summon physically by holding it in place. It can, however, be broken by outside means or brute force, making it less effective against bigger summons like boss summons or similar.
Note: lasts only as long as the user is focusing on the target to sustain it.

With this one, by looking at an animal it will temporarily bind them in place for a short amount of time, allowing you to run or attack your target, this is a good technique to bind a summoning the target is using; so you don't have to worry about the summoning for that short amount of time, the animal will feel as they are being held down by steel ropes. But you have to stay focused on the targets you are binding. This can be broken by brute force.

Summons two small animals for each of you to bind.

(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

This is the more powerful on of the latter, you stare at my clones, giving off the intention that you want to brutishly kill them, they will become paralysed; but there are some factors to think off, being two levels higher then your target will only feel a dark presence and maybe enough for them to drop their weapon, but if there is more then two levels difference, the target will be frozen in place and unable to move, the shorter the range the more effective the technique is.
