Mokuton: Kasui No Mokuzai Reizu No Jutsu (Spikes of Wood Raising Technique)

SPOILER: Click to show

Rank: D,C

Skill: Ninjutsu

Effect: Spikes raise up from the ground at the user’s command to stab the enemy.

Special: Handseals “Ox” “Tiger” “Snake” “Ram”

Drawback: The “D” level training allows the user to raise wooden spikes from the ground around them with a radius of five meters. The “C” level training allows this jutsu to be lengthed by ten meters.

Description: The user gathers chakra and sends it into the ground, at first the user can only extend this chakra five meters away from their feet in circle around them. After the user does the next level of training, the distance is lengthened by ten meters. The spikes rise from the ground diagonally to hurt an opponent.

Limit: Mokuton Jutsu

Colm decided that he needed to train an offensive technique. He used Nova for all his fighting but if he was separated from his wolf, he would be defenseless. So he needed to be prepared. He was training with his brother Sora. Sora had told him that they were learning Mokuton: Kasui No Mokuzai Reizu No Jutsu. This made wooden spikes rise up the ground to stab his enemies. Colm took a couple of deep breaths and began to train.

Sora told him that he would have to perform a series of handseals before he could do the technique. Colm performed the ox, tiger, snake, and ram jutsu. Colm gathered chakra and tried sending it into the ground. But to his dismay nothing happened. He turned to Sora, confused at what he did. Sora told him that he needed to gather chakra for a longer time. Colm took a deep breath and began gathering his chakra.

After a few moments Colm sent his chakra into the ground. He pushed his chakra 1 meter and what the ground rise up in 1 inch stubs. Sora told him to try again but try extending the area before trying to make the spikes. Colm performed the handseals and began gathering chakra. After about three minutes of gathering chakra Colm extended his chakra 3 meters long. Colm tried again but began gathering more chakra.

Using most of his energy, Colm pushed his chakra five meters away. The only problem was that it took too long. Sora told him that his opponent wouldn't just wait for him to use this technique. Colm gathered chakra and tried using a lot but not too much. To his joy he extended his chakra without using to much chakra. But he still needed to do the jutsu faster. Colm gathered chakra and after a few moments, he released. 

Since he saved some of his chakra he was able to do it faster. But it wasn't as fast as Colm wanted it. Colm began trying to gather chakra faster. After he succeeded in doing that he start pushing it in the ground. He tried not to resist the flow of chakra in the ground. This time he decided to go with it, but motion it where to go. He motioned it to extend 5 meters and then he stopped. Sora told him that he got the 5 meters part down.

Now that Colm could make his chakra go five meters into the ground, he needed to make sure spikes came up. Stubs wouldn't do that much damage to his enemies. Colm performed the handseals and pushed his chakra into the ground. He then pushed the chakra up after he extend it 5 meters. He felt the stubs come up and tried to extend them. To his dismay they only grew a few inches.

Colm turned toward Sora to see what to do. Sora told him to add more chakra to the spikes and they would grow longer.  Colm performed the handseals and pushed his chakra into the ground. He then pushed the chakra up after he extend it 5 meters. He felt the ground change into stubs and put more chakra into them. He could see that they were growing. He watched as they grew and grew.

But the technique was taking up to much chakra. Colm decided to try it again but change the flow of the chakra in the spikes.  Colm performed the handseals and pushed his chakra into the ground. He remembered to go with the flow so he would save chakra. He then pushed the chakra up after he extend it 5 meters. He grew out the spikes but he didn't use too much of his chakra.

He was happy until Sora told him that his spikes were pointed. Colm sighed and did the technique over again. Colm performed the handseals again and pushed his chakra into the ground. He reminded himself to go with the flow so he would save chakra. He extended his chakra five meters then shot his chakra up. To his surprise when Colm shot his chakra up, the spikes went up much faster.

Colm reminded himself that when he did this technique to shoot up his chakra. He grew out the spikes but he didn't use too much of his chakra. He made sure to change the chakra flow in the end of the spikes. He made the chakra go in a v shape and combine. That way the wood would come out in a point. The spikes shot out of the ground spraying dirt everywhere. Sora told him that he did pretty good.

Mokuton: Kodate No Mokuzai No Jutsu (Buckler of Wood Technique)

SPOILER: Click to show

Rank: D, C
Skill: Supplementary Ninjutsu
Effect: The user makes a small buckler type shield that is connected to the user’s forearms.
Special: Handseals “Ram” “Snake” “Ram”
Drawback: None
Description: The user will perform the handseals and create a small circular buckler-type shield that will be attached to the user’s forearm. This shield is normal wood so it can break if it is hit with sufficient force. The “C” Rank jutsu is when the user creates two shields, one on each arm.
Limit: Mokuton Jutsu

Colm was glad that he had just finished training an offensive technique. But Sora said that he needed a defensive technique next. He would be defenseless in one on one combat. So Colm agreed with him that he should learn a defensive technique. Sora told him that he was learning the buckler of wood technique. It was just as the names said it was a shield made of wood. Colm hoped that this technique would be easy.

Before Colm could do the technique he had to do a series of handseals. He performed the ram, snake, and ram handseals. He concentrated his chakra into his forearm and tried making a shield. But to his dismay, nothing happened. Sora told him that he should put more chakra into his forearm. Colm performed the handseals again and began gathering chakra. But this time he waited a little bit and gathered more chakra than he usually did.

Colm then felt wood begin to cover his forearm. But there was only a skin thick layer. Sora told him that he needed to put chakra into the wood. Colm performed the series of handseals and began gathering chakra. After a few moments, Colm thought that he gathered enough chakra. He then pushed his chakra into his forearm. He put most of his chakra into the wood. Colm could feel the wood growing into a shield.

The only problem was that his shield wasn't circle or big enough. It also didn't stay oh his arm when he made it. Colm decided that the first thing he needed to do was to attach it to his arm. Colm performed the series of handseals again and began gathering chakra. After a few moments, Colm thought that he gathered enough chakra. He then pushed his chakra into his forearm. He put most of his chakra into the wood but left some out.

With the leftover chakra, Colm made a piece of wood come out of his skin. He made it connected to this shield. This way it wouldn't fall off in battle. Colm reinforced the wooden piece just to make sure it wood stay on. The next thing Colm had to do was make the shield bigger. He had to make it buckler sized but it wasn't big enough. Colm pushed more chakra into it and began extending it. He pushed enough chakra until his shield was buckler sized.

Sora told Colm that his shield was big enough but it didn't look like a shield at all. It looked like a bunch of wood piled together. Colm performed the series of handseals and began gathering chakra. After a few moments, Colm thought that he gathered enough chakra. He then pushed his chakra into his forearm. He started making the shield but he changed the chakra flow. He made the chakra flow in a circular motion.

Since he made the chakra flow in a circular motion the shield was rounded. As Colm was forming the shield it was becoming rounder and rounder. In a few moments, it was done. Sora told him that he wasn't finished yet. He needed to be able to create the shield faster. Colm performed the handseals and began gathering chakra. This time he gathered enough chakra but not to much. That way he could save on time.

Colm then pushed the chakra into his forearm. He began making the shield and he remembered to change the chakra flow. Now his shield came out in the right size and shape. He tried to lift it and realized it was too heavy. Sora suggested that he use a lighter wood. Colm performed the handseals and gathered chakra. He gathered just enough and began pushing it into his forearm. 

This time, Colm made the wood lighter and more durable. It just required a little more chakra than usual. He increased the chakra flow in the wood, so it would be created faster. When Colm finished, Sora decided to test it. He grabbed a sword and hit the buckler. It instantly broke into splinters. Sora told Colm that he needed to make his shield stronger. But he still had to keep it light so it was easy to lift.

Colm performed the series of handseals and began gathering chakra. After a few seconds, Colm pushed his chakra into his forearm. He increased the chakra flow in the shield. He made the chakra flow go in a circle motion. But this time he made the chakra flow throughout the whole shield. That way it should be stronger. Sora hit it again and to Colm's joy it only made a dent. Sora told him that Colm might just have mastered the technique.

Colm wanted to learn a new technique. He asked Sora what technique he should learn next. Sora told him that he should train a clan technique next. He told Colm that he would teach him Shintenshin no Jutsu (Art of the Valentine). He told him that this jutsu would be handy in battle. This jutsu would let Colm be able to control his opponents mind. Colm thought it over and decided that this jutsu was worth his time to train.

Sora told him that the first thing he would have to learn was the handseal. Sora told him that the handseal he would have to perform was the oval hand seal. Colm stood and tried to perform the oval handseal. Sora shook his head and told him that you should see an oval in the center of your hands. Colm undid his hands and tried to perform the handseal again. He hoped that he could get this technique down quickly.

Sora told him that he needed to extend his fingers a little bit more. Colm extended his fingers the way Sora told him too. Sora told him that the handseal had to be perfect or the jutsu wouldn't work properly. Sora told him that he almost had the handseal down. All he had to do was extend his outer fingers a little bit more. Colm moved his fingers the way Sora was instructing him too.

Colm performed the handseal and looked at Sora. Sora finally told Colm that he got the handseal part down. Sora told him that to be able to perform this technique his opponent always had to be in a straight line in front of him. He told Colm that if he missed him enemy, his enemy could easily kill him. Colm decided to remind himself that his jutsu only worked in a straight line.

Sora told him that he could try to perform the jutsu now. Sora moved in front of Colm so he could perform the technique on him. Colm performed the handseal and used it on Sora. But to his dismay nothing had happened. Sora told him that he should try to extend his consciousness. He should feel like he is going into Sora's body. He would have to actually believe that he was taking control of his opponents body.

Colm took Sora's words to heart. He would have to believe he was taking over his opponents body. Colm performed the handseal at Sora. He could feel his mind leave his body and instantly pulled back. He waited as Sora told him that it would fell weird. Sora told him that if it felt weird, that meant that he was doing the right thing. Colm performed the handseal again and aimed it at Sora.

This time when Colm felt his mind leave his body, he didn't withdraw himself. Instead this time he accepted in. Colm tried moving around but he could only go in a straight line. He aimed for Sora and tried to take over him. But to his dismay he couldn't reach Sora. Confused he went back into his body and asked Sora what went wrong. Sora told him he should gather chakra beforehand and then perform the jutsu.

Colm listened as Sora told him that he could stop gathering chakra when he got the hang of it. Colm gathered chakra and performed the oval hand seal. He felt his mind leave his body and headed toward Sora. Thanks to the chakra he saved up, Colm could reach Sora. He tried going into his body but nothing happened. Disgruntled he went back into his body. He gave Sora a questioningly look and wondered what he did wrong.

Sora told him that he did everything right except for one thing. He asked Colm if he really expected his enemy to just let him into his mind. Colm realized that he would have to fight to get into Sora's mind. Colm groaned when he realized that this jutsu wasn't as easy as it seemed. Colm gathered chakra and performed the oval hand seal. He felt the weird feeling of his mind leaving his body again.

When Colm felt his mind leave his body he headed toward Sora. He went up to Sora and tried to gain access to his mind. But nothing happened, so Colm pushed with all his might. Colm almost had it until Sora managed to push him away. Colm performed the jutsu again and aimed at Sora. But to his surprise Sora moved out of the way. He fainted into a comatose as he look at Sora in surprise. Sora looked down and grinned "You have a lot to learn lil bro".

Colm slowly woke up and looked around. He had no idea what had happened. The last thing he remembered was trying to use his technique on Sora. He slowly stood up and looked at Sora in anger. Sora asked him if he expected his enemy to stand there. He told Colm that this would happen if he missed with his technique. Sora told him that his enemy would be able to quickly kill him. Colm would have to learn how to perform the jutsu quickly.

Colm gathered chakra for a few seconds and prepared to use his jutsu. He started walking and then he quickly performed the oval hand seal at Sora. He felt his mind leave his body and he quickly went toward Sora. He attacked Sora with all his might. To his amazement he could feel a crack in the mental wall of Sora’s mind. He focused all of his mind and energy into pushing through the crack in Sora’s mind.

He felt himself go through the crack of Sora’s mind. Colm could feel his mind go through out Sora’s head. He suddenly gasped and realized he could see through Sora’s eyes. Colm realized that this was what seeing was like. Since Colm was born a Kedoin, this was the first time he could see. Colm took a moment to take in everything he was seeing. Colm smiled because he now knew what colors were.

Colm could fell Sora still in his body. But since Colm was controlling the mind, Sora couldn’t do anything. Colm reminded himself that whatever damage he did to this body would be replicated to his. He slowly took a step in Sora’s body. It was harder to walk in Sora’s body than it was in Colm’s. But Colm could feel himself getting used to the feeling.

Colm started jogging around in Sora’s body. This was when he went back into his body, Sora would be tired. After he jogged around for a few minutes, he began to feel tired. He realized that he could feel his mind slipping away from Sora’s body. He decided that it was the right time to return to his body. He slowly walked back to Sora’s usual position and released the jutsu.

Colm felt himself return to his body. He realized that he was a little bit tired. But Sora was way more tired than Colm. Sora told Colm that he did a good job of catching him off guard. He told him that what he did is what he should do exactly in battle. Colm and Sora rested a few minutes and then began their training again. Colm decided to hide in the woods so that he could catch Sora of his guard.

Colm started gathering chakra. He made himself gather a little bit more than usual so he could use the jutsu faster. He would also be able to stay in Sora’s body for a longer period of time. He motioned for Nova to burst out of the bushes he was hiding in. This way Sora would look at the noise and Colm could perform the technique on him.

Colm felt Nova burst out of the bushes he was hiding in. He quietly moved out of his hiding spot behind Sora. Thankfully Colm’s plan worked perfectly. While Sora was looking at Nova in surprise, Colm performed the oval handseal. Colm felt his mind leave his body again. Thanks to the extra chakra that he had gathered before, Colm moved much more quickly.

Once Colm felt his mind leave his body, he moved quickly. He rushed toward Sora and attacked his mind viciously. Instead of attacking all around his mind, Colm tried a new tactic. He focused on attacking one part of Sora’s mind. A crack began to form quickly in Sora’s mind. Colm quickly made his way inside the crack and pushed outward. Sora’s mind barrier immediately shattered into pieces.

Colm felt himself go into Sora’s body. He grinned to himself. He had finally outsmarted Sora with his strategic plan. He walked toward Nova and began to pet him. He thought to himself that he did a pretty good with this technique. He decided to give Sora a little punishment for training him too hard. Colm got a rope and walked toward a tree. He then tied it to his leg and to the tree. He jumped of the tree and was left hanging from the tree upside down. Only the rope on his foot was keeping him from falling. Colm grinned and released the jutsu.

Colm watched as Sora woke up in a tree. He was confused as to why he was hanging upside down from a tree. Sora then realized that Colm must have mind controlled him and out him in this state. Sora yelled down to Colm that he did pretty well for a beginner. He then said that it wasn’t good enough. In one quick motion, Sora cut himself down and landed on his feet. He told Colm that was the only time he was going to catch him off guard.

Sora then ran into the woods with Nova. He needed to try something different if he wanted to catch Sora off guard. Since he already controlled Sora a couple of times he knew the exact amount of chakra he needed to gather. After he gathered his chakra he crept around Sora. Sora was on guard and looking for him so Colm knew this was going to be difficult.

He rushed behind Sora and performed the oval hand seal. But to his dismay, Sora used the wood replacement technique. Colm groaned as he fell to the ground unconscious. When he woke up, Sora was above him. Sora grinned and told him that he would have to try harder than that. Then Sora disappeared into the forest. Colm called Nova to his side and walked into the forest.

A few minutes later he located Sora. He motioned for his wolf to go on Sora’s left side. As Nova crept through the underbrush he made a little bit of noise. It wasn’t loud but just enough to get Sora’s attention. He watched as Sora went to investigate the noise. He crept out of his hiding spot and performed the oval hand seal. He felt the unfamiliar feeling of his mind leaving his body.

He pushed toward Sora’s mind. Sora was resisting him more than usual, but that didn’t stop Colm. He acted like he was trying to make a crack in Sora’s front mental wall. Sora put all of his energy into fortifying the front of his mind. Colm then swept around to the back of his mind and attacked. His wall quickly shattered because of the unexpected assault from the back.

Colm could feel his mind flowing through Sora’s head. He grinned to himself realizing that he outsmarted Sora once again. He started jogging so that Sora would be tired when he got his body back. A few minutes later, Colm was having a hard time controlling Sora. He could feel Sora growing stronger. To combat this, Colm protected his mind with a barrier so Sora wouldn’t regain control of his body.

After making the barrier, Colm felt himself regain control of Sora. While he was jogging, he accidently tripped on a rock. To his dismay he fell and skinned his leg. As he looked at the wound he realized he was slightly bleeding. He walked over to his body and checked his leg. He groaned when he saw that his leg was bleeding too. He decided that he would have to be extra careful when he was controlling someone’s body.

After a few minutes of walking around, Colm decided to release the jutsu. He performed the handseal and felt his mind leave his body. Colm felt himself return to his body and he waited to see what Sora would say. Sora told him that he did a good job but that he should try his technique on something else. He looked around until he spotted Nova. Sora told him to try to enter Nova’s eyes to see what he sees. Colm never tried to enter an animal’s mind so this would be a new experience for him.

Nova stood in front of Colm and waited for him to perform the jutsu. Colm performed the oval handseal and entered Nova’s mind. To his enjoyment, Nova didn’t resist. Colm was easily able to enter his wolf’s mind. Colm realized that Nova’s mind was way different from Sora’s mind. It had an animal’s urge to hunt and kill. Colm suppressed these emotions and started walking around. Usually it would have felt weird to walk on all fours, but Colm had done it before.

As he was walking around, Colm realized something was strange. His hearing and smelling was enhanced. He believed it was because a wolf’s hearing and sense of smell is better than a human’s. Colm ran around in Nova for a couple of minutes. When Colm was done he released the jutsu and looked at Sora. Sora told him that he might have actually mastered the technique.

Warped Visage: Growth of Ear

SPOILER: Click to show

Rank: C-ranked

Skill: Taijutsu

Effect: Allows the user to grow a working auditory system and alter its appearance as desired.

Special: ---

Drawback: ---

Description: A technique that marks the second steps of a true Kedōin Clan member. Normally the Kedōin are deaf. But if they so desire, they may command and organize the cells of the body in such a manner as to produce a working auditory system. The user grows a set of working ears, which captures sounds similar in the fashion of normal human ears. The ears of the user can appears to whatever they desire; with some members skillfully crafting even jewelry from flesh alone. It takes one post to grow or alter a auditory system the user wishes to possess.

Limit: Kedōin Blood Line. Must know "Warped Visage: Growth of Maw"

Colm asked Sora what was the next Kedoin technique he was supposed to learn. Sora told him that he was going to teach him how to grow ears. This way Sora wouldn’t have to always sign to Colm. Colm realized that if he learned this technique, training with Sora would be so much easier. He wondered what it would be like to hear. He would find out if he managed to complete this technique. He then started his training with Sora.

Colm began to tap into his Kedion bloodlimit. He realized that the ear is made up of three different parts: the external, middle and inner portions. The external ear is the part that people can see. Its purpose is to funnel sound into the middle ear. The middle ear has tiny bones that vibrate when sound is heard. The vibrations are carried to the inner ear where they are converted to nerve impulses that travel to the brain and allow you to hear. Colm realized that that was all he needed to know about the ear.

Colm began to concentrate on Sora’s explanation. The ear was a complicated organ made up of several parts. If one part wasn’t working correctly, you wouldn’t be able to hear. If he messed up, he wouldn’t be able to hear properly. Colm decided that he would just focus on creating a right ear for now. First, he took a deep breath and concentrated on the area on the side of his head where an ear was supposed to be.

Colm had felt Sora’s ears before, so he had an idea of what the external ear was supposed to be shaped like. He decided to work on the ear from the outside to the inside. Colm formed an image in his mind of what he thought an ear should look like. Once the image was formed, Colm began gathering chakra to the right side of his head. After he had gathered a sufficient amount of chakra, Colm commanded his cells to divide and organize into the image he had formed in his mind.

Immediately, Colm could feel a change starting to take place. Colm felt the skin where his ear would be ripple and change shape. When he didn’t feel anything happen he signed to Sora ”Did I do it correctly”? Colm still couldn’t hear anything, but that was expected, seeing as how he only had part of an ear. While Sora studied his ear to see if he did it right, Colm felt it to see how it turned out.

Sora said that it was pretty good for a first try but it’s still a little small. You’ve got the basic shape right, but you’re ear doesn’t have a lot of definition. It’s kind of flat and smooth, but you’re getting the hang of it. Why don’t you feel the difference between your ear and mine and try again. Colm signed, Ok, and did what Sora had suggested.

Colm hadn’t expected to create an ear perfectly on his first try, and he was pleased with his progress. This really wasn’t all that much of a difference between his ear and Sora’s and he thought that he would be able to create a perfect external ear on his next attempt. Once again he took a deep breath and created a mental image of what he wanted his ear to look like. He revised his previous image based on his own observations and the feedback Sora had given his. Next, he began gathering chakra in the area around his right ear.

He gathered a little more chakra than he had on his first attempt. Colm thought that using more chakra would let his create a larger, more defined ear. Once that was done, Colm commanded his cells to divide and increase the size of his right ear. While his ear was growing, Colm used his fingers to feel his ear and determine when it was large enough. After his ear had reached the correct size, Colm stopped his cells from growing.

Next, Colm started working on giving the ridges and grooves of his ear more definition. The first part he started with was the outside edge of the ear and the ear lobe. He organized his cells by having them divide and move until he was satisfied with the shape. When he was finished, Colm began sculpting the raised portion in the inside of the ear. After that, the only thing left was the ear canal that connected the middle and external parts of the ear.

Colm checked his work before asking Sora what he thought. Your ear looks really good, Sora praised his, but that was the easy part. You won’t be able to feel the middle or inner ear. I could explain more about the ear’s makeup, but it wouldn’t help you very much. To complete this technique, you’re going to need to rely on the Kedoin blood that runs through your veins.

Relying on his Kedoin blood wasn’t something that was new to Colm. He’d had to do it when he learned Warped Visage: Growth of Maw, but on a much smaller scale. Since he had no way to tell if he had formed the middle or inner ear correctly, he was going to try forming them both at the same time. Colm shifted to a more comfortable position. He got better results when he was meditating and meditating was much easier when you were in a comfortable position.

Colm slowed his breathing so that he was taking long, deep breaths. He cleared his mind of all distractions and focused on unlocking his inner Kedoin abilities. Colm wasn’t sure how long he stayed in that position. He couldn’t see, smell, or hear which limited distractions, but he still had to deal with his own thoughts. Every so often his concentration would slip and he would have to start the meditation process all over again.

Finally, he felt it. The dormant power of the Kedoin clan was within his reach. Harnessing that power, Colm began gathering to the right side of his head. As the amount of chakra he gathered increased, Colm felt the jutsu begin to work. The cells inside of his skull were shifting and rearranging, forming new bones and tissue.

The change was accompanied by a faint ringing sound. Colm couldn’t really hear but it was more like his ear was picking up sounds, but his brain wasn’t interpreting them. That meant this was probably a problem with his inner ear. Something had definitely happened though. Colm decided to repeat the meditation process and hopefully get better results this time around.

It took a lot less time for Colm to access his latent power on his second attempt. Colm thought it might be because he was getting better at meditating. Each time he practiced, he got better at preventing or ignoring distractions. Once again, Colm gathered chakra by his ear. This time the shift of muscle, bones, and tissue was accompanied by a small pop.

Colm thought the pop might be due to the change in pressure between his skull and the outside environment. Can you say something or try making some noise? Colm asked Sora. A few moments later, Colm heard a soft, light, high sound. It was followed by a louder, deeper sound that Colm could also feel the vibration for. I can hear you, Colm signed, but not very well. Colm wondered to himself what he was doing wrong.

The sounds were muffled, but they were definitely there. Sora took Colm’s hand and signed, I tried speaking to you first. When I didn’t see a response, I tried stomping on the ground. That explained why the two sounds were different. With a little more work, Colm should be able to hear clear, crisp sounds instead of the vague, muffled sounds he was hearing now. He would be able to tell the difference between the two sounds.

This time when Colm started meditating, he could access his Kedoin blood immediately. Colm thought it might be because he was so close to being able to hear. For what was hopefully the last time, Colm gathered chakra to the right side of his skull. Various structures began to shift inside his head, but the movement wasn’t as prominent as it had been before. Once everything was still, Colm signed for Sora to make sounds again.

This time, Colm heard what he assumed was Sora’s voice clearly. I can hear you! He signed excitedly. Colm couldn’t understand what his brother was saying, but he could definitely hear his. Hearing for the first time was a new experience for Colm . Now all he needed to do was create a working left ear.

Colm decided to start with the external ear on the left side too. Now that he had been through the whole process of creating an ear, he knew that the external ear was definitely the easiest part. The excitement of being able to hear for the first time in his life made it hard for Colm to settle down. He kept turning toward each little sound he heard, trying to figure out what it was or where the sound had come from. Eventually, the more common sounds started to fade into the background.

Colm took several slow, even breaths and concentrated on the sound of his breathing. This helped get rid of any lingering distractions. His mental image was much stronger now that he had successfully created a functioning ear. Colm fixed this image in his mind and began gathering chakra to the place where he was going to create his left ear. This time he made sure to gather more chakra so he wouldn’t end up with an undersized ear again.

Once he was finished gathering chakra, Colm commanded his cells to divide and spread out to form an ear. He paid special attention to the grooves and ridges so he wouldn’t need to redo the technique in order to make his ear more defined. As his skin rippled and formed cartilage, Colm kept track of the progress of his ear’s formation with his fingers. Slowly but surely his outer ear took shape. When his cells had stopped moving, Colm quickly double-checked his work.

How does my left ear look? Colm grinned as he listened to Sora walk over and squat down beside his. Now that he could hear, Colm couldn’t imagine going back to being deaf ever again. Nice work, little bro, Sora signed to him. I can’t see anything wrong with your ear this time.

Now that his external ear was finished, it was time for the hard part. Colm stretched and found a more comfortable position. He steadied his breathing and began meditating. Accessing his Kedoin power was more familiar to Colm now, but it still took some time. Once he felt it, he immediately began gathering chakra.

He directed his chakra to the spot directly under the external ear he had formed. He felt things shifting around in his head as his cells divided to for new bones and tissue. After a few moments, there was a popping sound as his left ear adjusted to the pressure of the outside environment. Once his cells stopped dividing and moving, Colm signed for Sora to make a sound. He covered his right ear since he already knew that his right ear was functioning properly.

Colm heard soft footsteps as Sora walked over to his left side. He spoke and Colm signed to let Sora know he had heard. Taking Colm’s hand, Sora signed, Good Job! You got it on your first try. Now let’s see how well you can hear. Colm waited to see what Sora was about to do.

What are you about to do? Colm signed back, puzzled. BOO! Sora yelled suddenly at the top of his lungs. Colm jumped up in fright and shock. He asked Sora what was the point if doing that. Sora smiled and told him that before Colm wouldn’t have jumped. Colm smiled as he realized he could finally hear. He closed his eyes and started listening to his surroundings.

In any case, Colm was glad he didn’t have to sign anymore. He was now able to hear so many new and different things. He waited as Sora told him about the different types of music he could listen too. Colm smiled as he listened to Sora talk. He would be able to hear some many different exotic things now. He couldn’t wait to see what the next jutsu he learned would be.

Warped Visage: Growth of Nose

SPOILER: Click to show

Rank: C-ranked

Skill: Taijutsu

Effect: Allows the user to grow a working respiratory system and alter its appearance as desired.

Special: ---

Drawback: ---

Description: A technique that marks the third step of a true Kedōin Clan member. Normally the Kedōin absorb and filter air through the skin, as they have no need for lungs. If the user desire, they may commands and organize the cells of the body in such a manner as to produce a working respiratory system. The user grows a nose, and fully functional respiratory system; consisting of lungs, throat, etc which match normal humans. This system is shaped to their desire. Manipulation of the throat also allows the user to control what their voice sounds like; allowing them to perfectly mimic and copy what other people sound like. The nose can even be shaped to have piercing and jewelry. It takes one post to grow or alter the respiratory system the user wishes to possess.

Limit: Kedōin Blood Line. Must know "Warped Visage: Growth of Ear"

The last technique Colm needed to learn before he would be able breathe was Warped Visage: Growth of Nose. This technique allowed his to grow not only a nose, but a working respiratory system. He had spent some time getting used to his new ears and learning what words sounded like when they were spoken instead of signed. Now he was finally ready to try creating a nose. Sora had agreed to help train a new jutsu again.

The first Colm did was feel Sora’s nose. The upper half of his face was completely flat so Colm wanted to try to create a mental image of what a nose should be like. “Unlike the ear, the nose isn’t neatly divided into separate sections” Sora explained. “There’s an inner and outer part, but the inner part of the nose and respiratory system is extremely complex. You also have to make sure you keep your gastrointestinal system separate from your respiratory system or you could die.”

I’ll keep that in mind, Colm signed back. He didn’t want to accidently kill himself while making a nose. It looked like he was going to have to rely on his Kedoin blood a lot more for his nose and respiratory system than he had for his ears. Colm slowed his breathing so that he was taking long, even breaths. He blocked out all of the distractions around his. He directed all on his concentration to the spot in the center of his face where his new nose would be forming.

Colm created a mental image of his nose and began gathering chakra to the middle of his face. From past experience he knew that trying to create the whole nose and respiratory system at once wouldn’t work. He decided that he would just work on the visible part of the nose for now. Once that was perfected, he could move on to the parts he couldn’t see. Colm continued gathering a steady stream of chakra until he thought he had enough to start the jutsu.

Then he commanded his cells to divide, grow, and organize to create a nose. As the jutsu started working, the skin on Colm’s face rippled and bulged. New bone and cartilage grew to frame the exterior part of the nose. Colm waited for the cells to finish moving before feeling his nose. Something was off about it, but he wasn’t quite sure what.

Sora would be able to tell his, though. So, how does it look? Colm signed to Sora. “Well, technically the nose you grew is correct,” Sora said with a chuckle. What’s that supposed to mean? And why are you laughing? Colm signed back. Does it really look that weird?

“All of the parts of your nose are there; it’s just kind of lopsided.” Sora replied. “Noses are supposed to be symmetrical. If you looked at just the left side of your nose or just the right side, it would be fine. But when you put it together, it doesn’t really work.” Alright, Colm signed, I’ll pick a side and make the other side look like it.

Colm decided to keep the right side of his nose the way it was and fix the left side. He felt that half of his nose with his fingers so he could revise his mental image. Once that was done, he started meditating again. Colm gathered more chakra to the center of his face so he could perform the jutsu again. He was doing more sculpting than creating this time around

Colm commanded his cells to divide and organize themselves to match his mental picture. His skin rippled and changed, but it was more subtle this time. Once his cells were still, Colm felt his nose again. As far as he could tell without being able to see, he had managed to fix the asymmetrical aspect of his nose. How does it look now? he signed to Sora.
