Kanta Sankuchi

Kanta is one for the arts. It doesn't matter what it is he loves it all. He likes to look at a piece of work, say its actual art form a gallery or a crafted piece. He wants to know how some one makes the elaborate pieces. He knows there are rules to art, and every one has their own. But for him he likes to pick and choose techniques to make his own masterpieces perfect. Cause that is his goal, to make the absolute best piece of art that the world has ever know. He is a very calculating person and can analyze the type of work a person does. He also has a nack for giving criticism. It it seems like some one is lazy and doesn't going about their trade in a very efficient way, he will let you know. He is not one for people becoming famous on dumb luck.


Since Kanta loves his art, and loves to produce masterpieces, he has noticed that these things take a mass amount of wealth. So since he started his hobbies he has always diligently saved so that he can purchase the required bits and pieces to his art. Though this has gotten him into trouble a few times and he has found himself taking form people that has displeased him in his artistic view. Also those who do not take criticism well tend to fall on his black list. He is not one to forget, and always takes grudges.


If some one tells him his views are wrong, Kanta usually comes back with an insult. Its not that they don't know what their talking about, its just that they don't know what their talking about. He has gone through so many steps, went through so many things, did so much stuff, and sweat some times night after night to achieve some of his creations. This is another thing that he would take a grudge over, if you say the wrong thing about his creation, you mite find yourself one day at the center of a kaboom.


Kanta usually find himself behind the front line. He is usually the one to support all those that are fighting. He hates to fight directly with anyone and usually finds means of killing some one with their backs turned or with other means of gruesome deaths. He is currently looking into puppetry because it give him that calculation creativity that fits him so well. Another project he would like to get into is gadgetry because of the other sneaky ways to pack more power into harmless objects making things lethal. Usually when it comes to a situation, he can find the right item for the right time, or place.


Kanta usually finds himself in some dingy basement working on his crafts. Or in the forest finding some herbs. Perhaps on the top of a mountain within a small hut creating some weapon or gadget for some one. Who knows but he doesn't see people very often. He is soft spoken and hates it when people ask him what he said. He doesn't like the smell of other people either. If some one messes with his stuff, well that's just a straight no-no in his book. That's why he likes to booby trap his inventory. Perhaps a nasty senbon prick, with a bit of poison, perhaps then you would learn your lesson.

Kanta is 4ft 5in, 85lb, shot, and not much muscle tone. In fact he would be labeled as a wuss, to some people. He doesn't care though, they just do not recognize greatness. He has brown hair blue eyes and a slightly elongated oval face. He has a wide grin, for when things excite him, and will show it when he criticizes people. He has a slightly pointed nose and it angles up a bit while being of medium length. His ears hug his head and usually are hidden by tuffs of hair. His neck is small yet is a little longer than most.


Kanta's small frame has labeled him a nerd in some circles. He doesn't do much for exercising and it shows. He never was interested in those types of things. He has long bony fingers and frail looking arms and legs. He stands with a slight hunch because of the hours spend working on his craft. He likes to fake a bumb leg just because it would shut people up and would rather have people thing that he was disabled rather than fall under what they had to say about him. Though he is starting to get some tone, to his limbs. Though muscle mass is still lost on this one.


Since Kenta spends most his time in some dingy place he doesn't have time to worry about how he looks. His hair is always unkept and finds no logic in making it look nice. He always looks as if there is a dirt spot on his face, or on his arms. He doesn't wash too often except when he smells funny. Though that isn't too bad, since the smells he only accepts is the smells orientated to his crafts that he is working on. And he doesn't mind those smells. In fact he finds he can readily identify thing better when he has a working knowledge of these things.


Kanta doesn't really have an injured leg or a disfigurement, but he likes to act that way. Though he does have a back that slouches due to working on a desk or having to be over his work as he crafts. He general takes small steps and takes double the amount of steps a normal person does, but he is quick and knows how to stay ahead of a pack if he needs to. It is not uncommon for him to trip though since he sometimes is lost in thought and doesn't notice whats in front of his feet.


Because Kanta could care less about how he looks, he doesn't mind hiding what he looks like. He wants to pile as much clothing on him as possible but for now is happy with a large cloak. Soon he has plans for a hat, a mask and gloves to completely hide who he is. Though the globes will have to be adapted for his mouths. Another note, would be he doesn't care about the color, or the cleanliness, or even if their new clothing. He would wear something that was completely filled with holes and splashed with sand particles. It doesn't matter to him.

Kanta was born into a wealth family of art dealers. His parents are strong artisans and know what looks good and what does not. In fact even at an early age they tried to open up their sons eyes to the wide world of creativity by lavishing him with the most unique toys they could find. The always took him with them when the went traveling across the countries dealing and going to galleries. When it came to his parents crafting their own art though, the always took priority over the things the created or were working on rather than taking care of their child.


During Kanta's early childhood, during the developmental phase of his life, his parents would always pawn him off an a nanny or care taker. At this point of his life he was considered a spoiled little brat and was decided to be to challenging at times to take care of by his parents. The nanny was a money grubbing person that his parents had no thought into hiring the right person. And to make it worse he was usually locked away in his room that was full of anything he wanted, with the thought that he could take care of himself and keep himself occupied.


Kanta's parents started to hire tutors for thier precious little boy. They wanted to make a prodigy out of him. And so they started him young. All the tutors that were hired for him, in his thoughts were all dumb. They all were snobbish and had no reason why they liked on artist over another. They seemed like they just liked what was popular at that time. He was also developing the feeling that that's how his parents think as well. He started to notice that this is how they have been dealing with their trade, and staying one step ahead of the crowd. At this moment he had vowed to himself that he would not be a trend follower, but a trend setter, and create the next big thing.


In Kanta's life this was the time that his tutoring was winding down. He felt like he knew what they had to say every time about various works of art, or how things were labeled as good or not good. The only teacher he had at this point was an art historian that only showed him knew pieces to judge of the past creations that others have done. And soon his parents took an interest in him once again and took him on long trips across the countries.


Kanta would be taken to different lands and shown different things all related to this word Art. He would find that this was actually a very dull thing and wanted to get back to his own works. Though they wouldn't have it because they found he had a nack for prediction the next big thing and were making money off thier prodigal son. This was the time of his life when he had enough of his parents "lameness" and decided to strike out on his own. He would be a wanderer and would not need the audacious opinions of those around him. He would be his own man and show his parents what art truly is.

"Kuchi Botsu" (Mouth Awakening) (starter tech)
Rank: C-ranked
Skill: Passive, Supplementary
Effect: Allows the Sankuchi to awaken and use a single hand mouth for the purpose of molding clay bombs
Special: Must hunt down a Sankuchi elder and complete a given task as apart of training. After such, a series of hand seals, kept secret by the elders will be performed, allowing the user to awaken there sleeping mouth.
Drawback: If one does not get this ability at birth, they cannot acquire it until they have 200 TP in clan jutsu.
Description: The lucky few in the bloodline are born with a hand mouth awake and ready to create. Those who are less fortunate however, will to train much harder to perfect the art their clan so cherishes before the mouths in their palm begin to recognize this power and awaken. Once the user feels as if they are strong and skilled enough within their clans art and techniques, the Sankuchi goes to the elders of their clan, and can be given a task to complete. This task can be a variety of things or mission which will prove that the young sankuchi has grown (Mod controlled task and Npc). If they have proven themselves worthy to further their skills in the clans artwork, a series seals will be preformed by the Clan elder (Handseals that cannot be performed by any other), which will awaken their hand mouth. The recipient is free to release the use their newly awoken mouth.
(Please note that the task given will be graded as any other training post. Tp rewarded and the user can obtain the said mouth)
Limit: Sankuchi Bloodline. Only Staff may Give the user the Task to complete as well as the Tp upon completion.

Kuchisaki Seichuu (Mouth Control) (starter tech)
Rank: C-ranked,
Skill: Passive, Supplementary
Effect: Considered a type of training method (See below)
Special: ---
Drawback: (See below)
Description: The Sankuchi clan's chakra circulation system differs from normal people. There bodies Tenketsu (Aka chakra points) are located and are concentrated in different areas compared to others (while still containing 361 chakra points). This relocation of tenketsu alters the flow of there chakra within there body, leading to a rather unbalance system. It is because of this unbalanced chakra system that a Sankuchi can propagate a unnatural flow of chakra within there body and concentrate chakra into extreme amounts into on area (I.E Mouths), leading to the formation of there amazing and powerful clay bombs. Unfortunately, one is not innately born with the knowledge to control these differentiating flows of chakra. A user is taught and trained to teach there body to flow its chakra properly to there hand mouths/main mouth. If left untrained, the user’s flow of chakra may be directed dangerously within their body (being concentrated in one area to a far higher degree then another).
Because of this, there chakra can potentially bring harm, or even lead to the destruction of their own body (from the inside out). “Back fire” is the term used to explain an over flow of chakra into one area in the body, and being unable to remove said chakra at an equal rate. One could literally leave there body permanently damage, ruined or blown off.
With awakening and the addition of new mouths on the user’s body, this flow of chakra fundamentally shifts over and over again. The user must relearn “mouth control” a total of three times allowing for a balanced flow of chakra to each mouth (Once for the users main mouth, twice for the user's second mouth in there left hand, a third time for the user's mouth in there right hand. There mouths also learn how to move upon the users will just as any other mouth, molding clay and infusing chakra directly into the clay during mastication.
For those who are born with the rare "Fourth Mouth", their is no current way to train one's body to balance chakra flow to this mouth. This mouth is nearly uncontrollable by anyone in the Clan, even to the clans most powerful and wisest elders. Its volatile nature spells emanate death for anyone and must be sealed away.
Limit: Sankuchi Blood line. Three times learned max.

"Touji Hyu-zu" (Clay Infusion) (10)(30)
Rank: D, C, B, A, S ranked
Skill: Ninjutsu, supplementary.
Effect: Allows the user to give a piece of clay explosive properties. Also determines the speed at which the user can produce a clay bomb(s). (See more below)
Special: Please refer to “Katsu”.
The clay bombs characteristics is directly dependent of the user rank of "Touji Itonami "(Clay Life).
The Amount of bombs; the amount of clay slots used to make a bomb; the size of the clay bomb; the maximum distance in which a clay creature may travel; and the amount of hands required to make a bomb will be stated within the bomb itself. (See more below)
Drawback: The user must load the piece of clay into a mouth begin to chew. Every clay creation requires a certain amount of clay slots and time to prepared. Certain bombs regardless of the users rank, will require additional time and perpetration (stated with the jutsu itself) (See more below)
Description: The user loads a piece of clay into there mouths (any mouth) and begins to command the mouth the chew at the piece of clay. What is truly occurring during this mastication process is that the user is injecting and infusing their chakra directly into the piece of clay. Due to the user's blood line trait, the relocation and concentration of their Tenketsu allows the user is able to pump and redirect a very large amount of chakra to there hands and into the piece of clay (more then humanly possible). The mouths of the user allow for rigorous chewing, ensuring that their chakra is evenly dispersed through out the piece of clay. Once the user feels that the piece of clay has been properly imbued with their chakra, the user commands the mouth to spit out the prepped piece of clay, allowing for the next stage in refinement to occur. (See "Touji Itonami "(Clay Life)). If the user knows the D-ranked version of "Touji Hyu-zu" (Clay Infusion), they may only create up to D-ranked Bombs. If the user knows the C-ranked version of this technique, they may create only C-rank bombs and the D-ranked bombs before that; and so on and so forth until S-ranked is achieved (though some Bombs may state other wise).

Each Ranked Clay bomb requires a certain amount of time to be prepped. The users class and the bombs rank directly effects the amount of time the user will have to spend in preparation. The increased speed is due to the fact that as the user grows in strength and skill, thus so does his or her abilities to handle clay and produce clay bombs. This amount of time has been measured in post lengths:

Limit: Sankuchi blood line. Must be learned Multiple time as the user cannot gain A rank without first knowing D, C and B ranks. Must know "Kuchisaki Seichuu" (Mouth Control)
