[YY] Yin

[Sinthorus]

To save time:

Yin/Yang is broken down into two components. One being yang which governs life, sentience, vitality etc. Where as Yin is the spiritual side. It's thought itself becoming creation. Due to it's spiritual side, you can see it in fields such as genjutsu where you create illusions in the mind, your thoughts become a reality in an opponents mind. Yin governs the spiritual side to one's chakra. There are multiple abilities that deal spiritual damage or rely on this such as Ronin techniques that can cause an imbalance in one's spirit. Yin is quite literally the creation side to YY.

That'll suffice, you've already gone over the explanation in detail in the original training so there's no point in making you repeat it just for the sake of it. We can move onto the techniques; analyze, ask questions, etc.

( Inton: Ten ni Henkō ) – Yin Release: Change into Heaven
Type: Supplementary
Rank: S
Range: N/A
Chakra: N/A (+50 chakra cost to applied technique)
Description: The user manipulates a technique of the basic 5 elements with Yin natured energy, allowing the user to change its physical properties. Fire can become solid, lightning can become tangible, water can become invisible. Possibilities are limited to changes in physical properties; more specifically, this means that one cannot transform a flame into a spiritual flame, or make a rock intangible. The user must be able to clearly define what the new technique is within realistic limitations. If, for example, the user makes Swamp of the Underworld into something solid then it might neutralize the entire point of the technique. The resulting technique must be described logically; if this condition is not met then the technique might outright fail. The end result is a technique neutral to all basic elemental natures. This technique is applied within the same timeframe as the technique it is applied to. The infused chakra increases the technique by an additional ten, but costs fifty in total.
Note: Yin Release Specialists and Yin-Yang users can apply this technique to advanced fields, CE, and advanced elements.
Note: Using Change into Heaven to transform the inherent nature of an element does not modify its base speed.
Note: Usable 3 times per battle and 6 times per arc.

Especially where this is my second time learning it and having taught multiple students over the past few years in Yin.

As for this technique, this is an infusion style technique where you alter the properties of a technique you cast through the additional of Yin chakra. This allows you to become quite creative while at the same time, the infusion of Yin will allow the technique to become neutral to all but Anutu. This is used within the same time frame as a technique cast adding 10 chakra to the technique, unless the chakra value is already boosted by 10.

From here you change the properties of the technique, a fire technique could be come cold, a wind technique hot etc. It's quite literally adding a creative twist to a technique in order to suit your battle needs. It's limited in the sense as it can't change the type of damage the techniques and it has it's own limitations of logic. Like if you turned a wave of water to ice, it would freeze in place and become a bit pointless. If you specialise in yin or have YY, you can even apply it to advanced fields and CE.

 

[Corazon]

Yeah, as expected, you've covered everything important. Moving onto the next technique.

( Inton: Gogyou Gen ) – Yin Release: Five Elements Illusion
Type: Supplementary
Rank: S
Range: N/A
Chakra: N/A (+50 chakra cost to applied technique)
Description: This technique allows the user to combine their elemental chakra with Yin Release in order to create stronger, more potent Genjutsu. When the user casts a Genjutsu, rather than using their raw chakra they will use one of the basic elemental natures, thus increasing the potency of the jutsu. This technique increases the technique it is applied to by one rank in strength; due to the massive infusion of chakra a Genjutsu empowered by the Five Elements Illusion can penetrate through any passive defense or subversive method against Genjutsu. By using nature chakra rather than raw chakra, the properties of the Genjutsu can change in accordance to that nature and become stronger. For example, using Crushing Snake Constriction with Fire Release chakra would make the snakes appear, feel, and sound as though they were on fire. The user is free to alter the effects of a Genjutsu within reason as long as the primary effects remain the same. Like other Yin-Yang infusions, this technique only increases the chakra within the technique by an additional rank in strength, or 10, whichever is higher.
Note: Can only be used 6 times per battle.
Note: Cannot be used on techniques above S-Rank.
Note: Yin Release Specialists and Yin-Yang users can use advanced elements and CE.

This technique is used along side an illusion to make the illusion an elemental illusion. Basically the chakra used to make the illusion becomes elemental in nature and with it, the illusion itself will gain an aspect of that illusion. For example, if in the illusion someone is bound by wires. If you use this technique and infuse it with wind release, these wires could be formed of wind for example.

From here, the important part is how to break the illusion, and for the most part, this applies to surges of chakra. The illusion has a chakra level, so A rank is 30 chakra (+10 for this jutsu iirc) making it 40 chakra. Using the above example of infusing it with wind, it would be a 40 wind chakra gen. The strengths and weaknesses of wind come into play then. A surge of fire chakra would break the gen with S rank. You need a surge with more chakra to break an illusion, due to the elemental advantage, this fire surge of 40 chakra would be considered 10 chakra more, breaking the illusion. On the other hand a lightning surge would need a lot more chakra.

Yin or YY specialists can use this with adv elements or CE.

Next up, Hungry Ghost.

( Inton: Gaki no Jutsu ) - Yin Release: Hungry Ghost Technique
Type: Supplementary
Rank: S
Range: N/A
Chakra Cost: N/A (+50)
Damage: N/A
Description: Hungry Ghost is a spiritual parasite created through the user’s Yin Release chakra. When using an elemental jutsu, the user will form the ram hand seal to seal the hungry ghost within their technique. Sealing the hungry ghost inside one’s technique happens within the same timeframe as their elemental technique. When the user’s technique clashes with another technique, the parasitic Yin Chakra will eat away at the chakra within the technique, weakening it by one rank. Once the hungry ghost consumes foreign chakra it is released and immediately attaches itself to the source of the foreign chakra (the opponent). From there, the parasite continues to eat away at the enemy’s chakra every time they use techniques (all techniques reduce in rank and power by 1 degree). Once the Hungry Ghost is released, its tether is immediate and cannot be blocked or circumvented by ordinary means. The effects of Hungry Ghost last for 4 turns.
Note: Can only be used 5 times per battle and cannot be used on the same target more than twice.
Note: Surges or Barriers that utilize Yin, Yang, Yin-Yang or Natural Energy can break or prevent the tethering of the Hungry Ghost.
Note: Yin Release Specialists and Yin-Yang users can use advanced elements and CE.
Note: Hungry Ghost can only be used on S-rank techniques and below.

Note: Yin Release Specialists and Yin-Yang users can use advanced elements and CE.
Note: Hungry Ghost can only be used on S-rank techniques and below.

A technique used along side (same tf) another technique, infusing them with a tether. This tether consumes the chakra of the opposing technique (-10 chakra) and lowers the damage by 1 rank (20 damage), latching onto the target who created that jutsu. From here, their techniques will be weakened by 1 rank (20 damage/10 chakra). This will count as one of the allotted buffs/debuffs. This tether can be infused into an elemental jutsu unless you spec in yin or yy, then it can be infused into AE and CE.

To counter this, you could take the hit of the jutsu head on, that way it doesn't consume the chakra of the opposing technique, therefore the tether isn't formed. Or after the tether is formed you can use a surge of yin, yang, yy or natural energy to break the tether.

 

[Corazon]

Alright, let's move on. Next one is the advanced version of the previous jutsu.

( Inton: Dai Mugen Ryu ) - Yin Release: Great Phantom Dragons
Type: Offensive/Defensive
Rank: S
Range: Short - Long
Chakra Cost: 150
Damage: 100 | 120 (for multi-element)
Description: A more powerful version of “Yin Release Hungry Ghost Technique.” Rather than the user arbitrarily adding their Yin Release chakra to a specific technique, the user will create a number of large, elemental dragons using any of the basic elements plus their Yin Release chakra. The user can create up to 5 serpentine dragons which, once created, can act independently according to the user’s will. Due to the user being able to manipulate multiple elements at once, each dragon created can be of a different nature. Each dragon will also have the absorption properties of “Hungry Ghost,” thus becoming even more dangerous. However, due to the massive amount of chakra and control needed to use these dragons, the user can only control two dragons at any given time. While the dragons are present, the user cannot use any Yang Release or elemental techniques of the natures that currently exist within the dragons. Yin Release Specialists and Yin-Yang users can combine two natures together in order to make a multi-elemental dragon or even a dragon consisting of an advanced element or CE that they know. However, in doing so they will only be able to create two dragons.
Note: Can only be used 2 times per battle.

This is probably one of the nicer Yin techniques in my opinion as it incorporates hungry ghost without taking a move slot to do so. THe way it works in your create up to 5 dragons infused with a chosen element.

You you spec into yin or you're a Yin/yang user, you can combine two natures in one dragon. You can even use AE or CE, though this means you can only make 2 dragons.

You can only ever control 2 dragons at once.

The power of the dragons is divided evenly among them. If you made 2 multirank dragons (120 damage), each would do 100 damage. The debuff of hungry ghost taking the spot of one of your allowed boosts.

Due to the high concentration of yin, you can't use Yang Release while it's active. You can't use the elements of those that make up the dragons either. This extends to, you can't have the same element in both dragons. So if you have water in one dragon, you couldn't use water in another dragon or use water release in general.


The downside is the huge chakra cost and how much they lock you out of in the process tbh.

 

[Corazon]

The lockout is actually pretty tame compared to certain Yang techniques that lock you out of Fuinjutsu and stuff. Anyway, moving on.

( Inton: Namakemono no Ude ) Yin Release: Hands of Sloth
Type: Supplementary/Offensive/Defensive
Rank: S
Range: Short – Mid
Chakra Cost: 100 (110 w/ YY: Hands of Sloth) -50 per turn
Damage: 120
Description: This technique gets its name from one of the deadliest sins, Sloth. The user begins by clapping their hands and focusing their Yin Release chakra behind them, creating several chakra arms (up to 8) behind them, each of which is spiritual in nature. The arms themselves are invisible to the naked eye, but they can be sensed by external forms of chakra sensory or Doujutsu. The arms are capable of physically interacting with the world and attacking or defending against physical constructs. However, the user can freely turn them intangible if they wish to bypass these physical obstacles. The base usage of this technique allows the user to attack or defend covertly by freely manipulating the invisible arms. However, in their second form the user can add the “properties of sloth” to the hands which are dejection, idleness, and sleep. Dejection is a loss of will and focus translated in causing a victim to lose coherent perception of the world around them and weaken their ability to defend against genjutsu. Idleness is a loss of action which is translated to a hampered ability to cast techniques. Sleep is a loss of consciousness which is translated in a comatose state brought about by the sealing of one’s spirit if they are not sufficiently healed. The third and final form of this technique is brought about when the user introduces their Yang Release chakra which essentially makes the hands quasi-sentient and self-sufficient without the user’s mental input.
Note: All Yin Release users can use the base form of this technique. Yin Release Specialists or Yin-Yang users can use the second form. The final form of this technique can only be used by Yin-Yang users with a Yin affinity.
Note: The properties of sloth are spiritually degenerating properties. The more a victim interacts with the hands the worse they become. When touched by the hands once, the victim enters dejection and becomes unable to deduce A-rank and above genjutsu and unable to break S-rank genjutsu by any means. When touched twice the victim enters idleness and they become unable to perform techniques within a single time-frame. When touched thrice, the victim’s mind is sealed over the course of 2 turns and they enter a genjutsu that renders them a mindless puppet to the user. The properties of sloth can only affect victims if the hands are tangible. Switching between tangibility and intangibility requires a move.
Note: Genjutsu specialists and other Yin-Yang users can resist the properties of sloth through the use of counter genjutsu or Yin Release techniques like Yin State.
Note: This technique can be used once per battle. While in use, the user cannot use any non-elemental ninjutsu, Yang Release, or Yin-Yang Release techniques.

This is a HIGH chakra technique where you create up to 8 chakra arms behind them spiritual in nature. This is the equivalent to the Yang 8 branches technique IMO.

How it works:
1. They are invisible, this is pretty dope, I get doujutsu and sensory can detect them, but even removing one way to detect a technique is pretty useful.
2. You can make them intagible to bypass physical objects (I assume this then comes down to chakra vs chakra and the interactions of s/w like clashes with Anutu this wouldn't really work well).
3. They have 3 forms:
- first is just the invisible arms, big damage and chakra
- second is used by yin specialists or yy users. This adds the properties of the sloth: Hit once, they get dejection, and can't detect A rank and above gen, can't break S rank gen. Hit twice, can't do more than one tech in a single TF. Hit three times, their mind is sealed over 2 turns, they enter a gen that turns them into a mindless puppet. Only seen this happen once where it was Riker vs Geezy in the NW.
- third i brings in yang release, only yy users with yin spec can use it, they basically become sentient and self sufficient, acting on their own.

Strengths:
1. High chakra: stops it being sealed easily.
2. Nice damage.
3. The three effects are solid and can end a match
4. Being invisible is a nice touch

Weaknesses:
1. High chakra cost and 50 chakra per turn will drain your chakra quick in extended fights.
2. The full effects come from form two and it's hard to get one hit in in a fight, nevermind three hits.
3. The drawbacks and limitations of using this makes it take a lot of justifying.

 

[Corazon]

Yeah, the initial chakra cost is lower than Phantom Dragons, but the -50 per turn is steep, lol. But still a very good jutsu. Lastly we have Yin State and Kunino.

( Inton Modo ) – Yin State
Type: Mode
Rank: S
Range: N/A
Chakra: 200 (-40 per turn)
Damage: N/A
Description: Based on Hagoromo’s Six Paths Sage Mode, those who have specialized in Yin Release can enter this mode to elevate their prowess, reaching the pinnacle of spiritual capabilities. Because the user lacks the Juubi’s monstrous chakra and natural energy it makes it impossible to properly balance both Yin and Yang natures simultaneously at such a high level. When entering this mode, users first gather their five basic chakra natures and their Yin nature. They then manipulate the ratio of their Yin to Yang chakra such that one nature almost completely overshadows the other, done almost instantly. The result causes the user to enter Yin State. Yin State is the state entered by users when they emphasize their Yin chakra over their Yang. In this state the user is endowed with a pitch-black chakra cloak with white magatama down the center, along the collar and sleeves. The cloak can be shaped cosmetically. The cloak reaches down to the user’s ankles and covers a jet-black jumpsuit is underneath. The user’s nails, lips, hair, and sclera also become jet black. When Yin State is entered the user gains the technique Kuninotokotachi. Kuninotokotachi is a Genjutsu technique that grants the user spiritual prowess on par with the Uchiha’s Mangekyou Sharingan. When casting Genjutsu the user’s techniques become strong enough to hypnotize and almost completely control their opponent’s actions like Kotoamatsukami. While in Yin State the user gains a potent spiritual defense, making them immune to any A-Rank and below Genjutsu, barring Doujutsu Illusions. The user also gains a complete S-Rank defense against other spiritual and mental based abilities. Those abilities that inflict physical damage will still inflict physical damage, but have their spiritual portion negated. The drawback to this state is that the disproportional amount of energy makes users incapable of using Yang Release techniques and other physically elevating techniques. Advanced forms of taijutsu movement (anything that requires chakra or is B-rank and above) also become unusable.
Note: This technique only lasts 6 turns and can be used once per battle.
Note: One must have completed Yin Release in order to use this technique.
Note: Use of Yin State requires the user to have completed Yin Release training and stated on their biography that this is their chosen state. Once one has completed Yin-Yang Release training they are able to use these states interchangeably, respecting restrictions.
Note: Once the technique ends the user’s spiritual or physical chakra is drained to the barest minimum for their survival, thus making them incapable of using Yin, Yang, or Yin-Yang Release techniques for 10 turns and incapable of using Genjutsu or spiritual abilities for 5 turns.
Note: Once this technique ends the user is unable to use techniques above A-Rank for 4 turns.
Note: Yin-Yang Release Creations cannot use Yin State.

( Kuninotokotachi ) - Kuninotokotachi
Type: Supplementary
Rank: Forbidden
Range: N/A
Chakra Cost: N/A
Damage: N/A
Description: This technique is the strongest non-kekkei genkai genjutsu in existence. Kuninotokotachi gives the user’s genjutsu powerful hypnotic and influential abilities and puts them on par with the ocular powers of the Mangekyou Sharingan. The user hides manipulative thoughts and suggestions within their genjutsu such that, when cast on an opponent, they are indistinguishable from their own thoughts. The effects of this technique are strongest the closer one is to the user, allowing the user to influence the actions of others even subliminally. Long enough exposure to the user’s genjutsu while under the affects of Kuninotokotachi will eventually render victims completely unconscious, unable to respond at all. At such a point, the only ways to release the hold of Kuninotokotachi would be for the user to release it themselves, for the user to die or an outside source to transfer at least 150 chakra from Yin techniques or 75 chakra from Yang techniques to balance. Because of the strength of Kuninotokotachi, abilities designed to prevent genjutsu such as mental resistances, barriers, and other seals of the like are ineffective. With this technique the only way to avoid genjutsu would be to prevent them from happening or stay out of range. On the defensive side, Kuninotokotachi allows for the user to reverse genjutsu like Sharingan Genjutsu and even release the affects of techniques like Tsukuyomi.
Note: The hypnosis of this technique allows for the user to mask holes within a genjutsu that would ordinarily cause speculation. For example, if using false surroundings for a sudden drastic environment change, the user could implant a suggestion that would force the opponent not to question how suddenly the environment changed or to ignore certain aspects such as “the water isn’t wet.” However, these suggestions must be spelled out within the user’s move and must pertain to the affects of the genjutsu. A user cannot force opponents to forget how to defend against x-element or make them use y-technique if the genjutsu’s foundation does not establish such foundations.
Note: The effects of this technique are strongest the closer one is to the target. Within short-range users can capture others within their hypnotic spell and completely take over their body within 2 turns. At mid-range the hypnotic spell takes 3 turns, and long range is ineffective. Those with genjutsu specialty can resist for an additional turn while other Yin Release masters can resist for another 2 additional turns are unaffected at mid-range and beyond.
Note: The user can reverse genjutsu with this technique once per turn (one turn cool down for S-rank and above). Should the user fall under the spell of Mangekyou tier genjutsu the user can release the affects at the cost of a move but become incapable of using genjutsu for two turns after the fact.
Note: This technique remains active for as long as the user is within the Yin State of Yin-Yang Mode.

At such a point, the only ways to release the hold of Kuninotokotachi would be for the user to release it themselves, for the user to die or an outside source to transfer at least 150 chakra from Yin techniques or 75 chakra from Yang techniques to balance. Because of the strength of Kuninotokotachi, abilities designed to prevent genjutsu such as mental resistances, barriers, and other seals of the like are ineffective. With this technique the only way to avoid genjutsu would be to prevent them from happening or stay out of range. On the defensive side, Kuninotokotachi allows for the user to reverse genjutsu like Sharingan Genjutsu and even release the affects of techniques like Tsukuyomi.
Note: The hypnosis of this technique allows for the user to mask holes within a genjutsu that would ordinarily cause speculation. For example, if using false surroundings for a sudden drastic environment change, the user could implant a suggestion that would force the opponent not to question how suddenly the environment changed or to ignore certain aspects such as “the water isn’t wet.” However, these suggestions must be spelled out within the user’s move and must pertain to the affects of the genjutsu. A user cannot force opponents to forget how to defend against x-element or make them use y-technique if the genjutsu’s foundation does not establish such foundations.
Note: The effects of this technique are strongest the closer one is to the target. Within short-range users can capture others within their hypnotic spell and completely take over their body within 2 turns. At mid-range the hypnotic spell takes 3 turns, and long range is ineffective. Those with genjutsu specialty can resist for an additional turn while other Yin Release masters can resist for another 2 additional turns are unaffected at mid-range and beyond.
Note: The user can reverse genjutsu with this technique once per turn (one turn cool down for S-rank and above). Should the user fall under the spell of Mangekyou tier genjutsu the user can release the affects at the cost of a move but become incapable of using genjutsu for two turns after the fact.
Note: This technique remains active for as long as the user is within the Yin State of Yin-Yang Mode.

I'm not gonna lie, I'm not really a fan on yin state and I find some of it's uses very limited. With whole black jumpsuit look as you enter the state, you become immune to A rank and below gen barring Doujutsu. Due to this being yin state and is specifically states barring doujutsu gen, I'll assume you're immune to yin gen (Elemental gen etc), while in yin state. S rank defence against other spiritual based attacks, Yamanaka etc.

There aren't many things currently dealing spiritual damage so that S rank defence isn't that valuable to me. In this state all decent taijutsu is not usable. When this ends the drawbacks are substantial too. Nevermind the chakra cost.

Kuninotokotachi on the other hand is a bit more wild. It's a technique that's always active when you enter yin state and augments your gen to be on a whole new level akin to MS gen. It allows you to apply hypnotic/suggestive thoughts to your gen that are stronger the closer you get to your opponent. (I mean, tryna get close when you ain't using tai above B rank...). If you pull this off, and knock them unconcious with gen, it takes death, or an outside source of 150 yin chakra/75 chakra chakra to restore the chakra balance of those affected.

It bypasses all immunities. Legit just gotta outrange the gen to avoid them. But with current specs, a lot harder to do.

The hypnosis side this adds into illusion is all down to the users explanation. It doesn't change the illusion, it changes the target's perception of things to ignore glaring holes in illusions. It's a hard thing to do without metagaming and would be case by case with illusions. You can't make someone forget how to counter gen.

Reversing gen with Kuninotokotachi is cool and aside from someone having MS, this being active is the only known way to counter Tsukiyomi iirc. You can't activate yin state and use this if you're already caught though right?

Overall this is probably only useful for a gen heavy bio like my uchiha on my other account. It doesn't suit any of my bios nor with my current arsenal would I be able to maximise its potential.

Yeah, not many people have selected Yin State as their preferred choice, and that includes the people who pick the Yin specialty, lol. Its definitely better utilized in bios that have the arsenal to fully maximize it. Anyway, with that, you've finished Yin training.
