Henge no Jutsu (Transformation Technique) 

Rank: "E"
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: A technique used to change into people other than oneself, but also has the ability to change into animals, plants, and even inanimate objects like weapons.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: Unable to change into any size category larger than the user. May not change into anything that is smaller than Tiny size category (1 foot). Unable to change their voice. Unable to change their sense of smell. Unable to change their chakra signature. Once the user is hit this technique is dispelled.
Description: Using this technique, the user assumes the form of a creature of same size category as they are or smaller. User may freely designate the specifics of his new form (such as height, weight, hair texture and color, skin tone, etc.) User doesn't change their movements, nor handseals speed. In the new form user keeps all their normal abilities unless they use a limb or body part that doesn't exist within the current form. This means the user cannot use any technique unless the body form allows it. User may create equipment so the new form may carry so long as they are not complicated items, or use Chakra (Master Crafted Items, Gadgets, Explosives, Summoning Scrolls, etc). User is not automatically proficient in them and their physical strength is not the same as the item. Any part of the body or piece of equipment that is separated from the whole reverts to its true form. Technique lasts 10 minutes per Class level.
Limit: Universal NinJutsu Technique.

Against my will, I had been coerced to return to the Ame Academy. Had it not been for the upcoming Chunin Exams.. well, I would have since abandoned this village after the disappearance of Mitsukai. I moved back into the expansive area of the training ground and sought out a middle-ninja prompter to aid me in my endeavor to train the fundamental techniques of a ninja. This man began by teaching me the transformation ninjutsu; with this, I would be better suited in tactical advancements against ninja of rivaling countries given the ability to transform at will.

To mimic my instructor, I began the requisite handseals of the Henge: my chakra bubbled feverishly as I focused my mind on a simple transformation; in a second's time, I had managed to take on the exact guise of the Chunin at the academy. It was no surprise that so simple a ninjutsu had been mastered on my first attempt---I had the chakra control to manipulate not one, but two elements. Still under the Henge Jutsu, the prompter rushed me in an effort to attack. It was a mirror showdown, and I acted properly to his rise.

I quickly pushed off of the ground and rolled to my right as the man pursued me. I knew that a drawback of this transformation was that if I had been hit, then it would dispel. The best thing I could do at this point was avoid physical contact with the man and ensure the stability of the Henge. Fists flew towards me and I swiftly dodged them; I flipped backwards, causing a gap to form between he and I. 

"Nice moves, Suikou.." he commented. I smirk, looking my twin in the eye. Had I already the fighting prowess as a middle-ninja of Amegakure? I dared test my ability again as I performed the same hand seals for the Henge no Jutsu.

My tanto, which was indeed a short sword, had been transformed into the likeness of a longsword; I rushed forward, my movements the same as they would have been in my original state. With an oblique slash, I sought out the chest of the Chunin, but his movements had been surprisingly swifter. Earlier, then, it seemed that he was merely testing my reflexes. I spat at the thought of my folly. He commanded me to cease my transformation and I abruptly returned to the bonafide version of myself.

"Perform the Henge again.. this time, transform into something outside of our similar height and weight class." That is when I remembered the Genin Jager. He had been a Hoshigaki ninja, just as the Chunin Emi. I began to focus on the general outline of his bulking body; his skin color; the feral look on his massive face. Chakra oozed forth from within me and in a cloud of smoke, I had transformed into the monstrosity Jager. The Chunin prompter, having no met this man, staggered back at my new transformation. I smirked, "Lets continue." I urged him, finding the fire that rested within me slowly beginning to arise in a land of incessant downpour.

Dragon Hammer
Rank: C rank short range offensive(0-5m)
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A rather strong punch with decent speed, and a possibly confusing spin.
Special: TaiJutsu requires no hand seals to perform.
Drawback: None
Description: The user will jump at the foe in a sort of sideways spin, and upon landing right in front of the foe they will use the built up speed and power from the spin to unleash a closed fist slam into the foe's collar bone region, possibly breaking the bone or stunning the foe momentarily. Exactly which hand the attack will be used with is hard to predict and therefore more difficult to dodge than normal despite it being of average speed.
Limit: Universal TaiJutsu Technique

Bulky and blue, I moved towards the Chunin teacher. I had been rather comfortable lugging around the weight of the behemoth Jager and with this, I could further my Taijutsu ability. Had I the muscle to move effectively in so large a state, imagine the possible potential that my original body possessed. The prompter noticed my advancements and took up a stance foreign to me. I knew he was expecting a head on rush, yet once I had closed the gap to about three meters, that is when I made my dynamic move.

I lunged forward, propelled by strength of body and possibly chakra; the massive body I had been transformed into seemed to barely leave the ground as I sailed three meters towards the stationary middle-ninja; my body contorted sideways as I primed my right fist with as much power as I possibly possessed. The force behind my blow would come from how quickly I had moved plus the innate strength I myself had---this feat had nothing to do necessarily with my transformed state. As I landed, I shot my right arm forward and the Chunin moved his hands up to block. Big mistake. He hadn't expected for the Dragon Hammer to have so much power, and would feel the brute force behind the physical attack as my fist slammed into his crossed arms. He flew back by at least a meter, skidding and tearing up his ninja pants as he got pushed and rolled against the ground. 

The power of the Dragon Hammer rested in the torquing ability of the one who had performed it. During the time in which the middle-ninja went to recover, I thought about my previous training time with Akuryo within the lair of Lord Wazaru...

Mikutashi moved efficiently across the tree laden realm of Wazaru, who had been a master of the Wood Release. From the way that this particular training exercise had been created, the boy was forced to move his body this way and that, to avoid running into the many trees that littered the inside of the massive cavern. His core had been trained extensively from sit-ups and other exercises that called for one to condition their abdominal and oblique muscles. Miku had been running side-by-side with Akuryo, both of them lunging towards the training dummies at the other end of the training facility. 

In an attempt to gain an upper hand on his training rival, Mikutashi performed a Shunshin to advance closer to the training dummy, and that boost of speed almost doubled his physical capability. His feet left the ground and he had leapt five meters towards the wooden bunshin set out by his Master; with both arms close to his body, he twisted sideways; this torquing method enabled him to stockpile strength in his coiling muscles and then let it loose upon impact. Once Mikutashi landed in front of the wooden Wazaru, his right fist flew out from his side and tore into the collar area of the doppelganger; it met its defeat in one blow. Given the speed in which the child had been moving, that, coupled with how his body had twisted to bide in energy, the Dragon Hammer that he used on the training dummy caused it to burst into pieces of wood and loose its tangibility withal------

A punch to the face sent me out of my transformed state and back a couple meters. While I had been daydreaming about the past, the Chunin prompter had gathered to his feet and knocked me out of my body. In a small poof of smoke, I lay stunned on the ground. 

"That's some strength you go in ya, Suikou!" he hollered out, waiting for me to regain my composure. I wiped my mouth as I stood up; my black eyes were looking at him fiercely. This challenge... I liked it.

We continued our bout. Blow for blow; dodge for dodge. This Chunin had proven to be quite the adversary in the Body Arts as we continued to spar against one another in the Ame Academy. Younger students gathered around us as they watched one of their teachers take on a Genin trainee.

I had the height advantage on the middle-ninja, thus my reach had been superior to his own. I lashed out with a right fist, making sure to control the strength in my blows to match his counters. During this exercise, I could feel my muscles in my abdominals twisting and turning as my body moved this way and that; lithe and aggressive, I moved around the Chunin like a vicious serpent. When he moved back to put distance between us, I would lunge forward; the Dragon Hammer, again and again, had been my go to move, yet after experiencing the pain of it from earlier, the Chunin made sure to invest his speed into dodging these full bodied, torqued attacks. 

"You're pretty strong!" he mentioned again. I wasn't one to talk during a serious training session, so I took it as though he was trying to throw me off my game. We had been at it for almost ten minutes; fatigue had not been a condition to shinobi of high stamina and chakra reserves.

I could see...

Barely, somehow, my eyes had began to adjust to the movements of the Chunin. It seemed that he was slowing down or perhaps I was speeding up; I could not tell, honestly, but I felt the difference as his countering motives became clearer to me. By now, the crowd had increased to not only the academy students, but the Chunins colleagues as well. Everyone in the village knew of the upcoming Chunin Exams and many were surprised to see a spar break out between low- and middle-ninja. My skills seemed to impress the Rain ninja-in-training, but how would I stack against shinobi of other countries? I measured the distance between me and my opponent to be about ten meters.

A shunshin would place me directly in front of him; or I could run forward and apply another tactic. 

He seemed to have read my mind as I rushed forward, obviously going for another Dragon Hammer to end this skirmish once and for all. I ran low, with my right arm cocked back, legs churning with chakra as I bound from the tile floor into the air above at an arc. He gathered into a block. Everything was happening so fast, and yet, I could see; he had an opening in his defense that I would exploit by twisting my body to ensure that he did not know which fist would fly at him. I twisted hard to my right at about four meters away from him; I saw his arms shift upward to protect his chest and face -- the place where my right fist would hit had that been the actual intent of my attack.

I feigned with my right arm as I landed in front of the Chunin: he fell for my rise. Underneath his risen arms, my left fist dug into his side and I felt the pressure of my blow move through his muscles. His body was knocked to the left and he rolled right into the crowd of students. Gasps could be heard faintly echoing throughout the academy as I stood there regaining my composure. Apparently I had strained myself far more than I had expected against this middle-ninja. And this was mainly a physical test. I stood hunched over as other Chunin moved in to check on their colleague; one approached me, a female, and looked down at me with an intense glower.

"..Who are you?" she asked. I smirked at the kunoichi Chunin. I wasn't a native of these lands, so I must have presented some sort of threat to those who hailed from Ame Kuni.

"Suikou," I replied, staring her in the eyes. As the crowd began to gather around the Chunin who had fallen to my Dragon Hammer, she instructed me to follow her elsewhere. We disappeared from the area with Body Flickers, leaving the crowd and beat down ninja to their own devices.
