A mission of quiet mission-ness... [Travel/RP/Mission]

[Hoarfrost Imp]

A searing hot rage burned up through Rahael as she stood and dared to listen to this ridiculous farce. The Sadojin continued to circle them both, rough 20 some metered ahead if she took a quick glance, not liking the way this Hyuuga just dis missed everything about the Hyuuga faith. She was ignorant, her head harder than the metal she had forced on her body and to take it a step further, she had bugs crawling around inside her body. She was no longer a Hyuuga, just one wearing the skin of her blood relative. "Do are a disgrace to the name of the Hyuuga." The words just spilled out but they had left her lips by now, and it was far too late to take them back, like she would anyways...

"You have a mission dire enough to send the weakest of you up ahead. The weakest." he spit the words practically, looking at at the woman, but past her, through her to the one retreating till she too was far out, but not quite covering the extra 40 meters just yet, not at the average speed of a non-tai spec ninja. "However you have enough time to strap yourself with bombs, strip down like some shameless skank and then tell me to hug you while I ask you questions. I am no fool." Her nostrils flared, the man in the air the last thing on her mind. He was a metaphorical fly and this Hyuuga was a metaphorical wall. "For someone so pressed for time, you sure seem so willing to stop now. You don't seem to care much about the way of our ancestors, like every one of our kind have been taught, so I dare say you are right. We Hyuuga have forged bonds that run deeper than blood, you are just a monster wearing the skin of my clansman."

She didn't care what her words might entail but she did shunshin in an arc,quick, another shunshin to carry her 10 meters forwards. Her distant looking eyes were set on the retreating twin bod in the distance, but her all seeing eyes was good up to 20 meters, still within the range of this Hyuuga. "you intend to draw me in close, lock me up in some manner to render me helpless. With a body full of bugs thats strapped with tags...I would rather watch you kill yourself than play your stupid game." She Shifted her range of vision to Ranzu without needing to turn her head "I wonder if your other teammate might be of some use to me. She has a rare genetic disorder as well that I have been curious about." A vague threat but her tone was dark enough to suggest she would do it.

"Whether you attack me now, or run away, I will follow you. I will track you three until something else catches my fancy. The need to take the perfect destructive temple of a Hyuuga and modify it with stupid additions that can be crippled by the same style they are inherent to makes me believe your fists cannot stand up to mind. So make your choice. I have already made mine." From the imple arc and them the forward shunshin, she was only 15 meters away from the abomination that dare use the birthright of a Hyuuga. "You are not worthy of the eyes you carry...I want you to know that, wretch. Prove it to me and act on the instincts that earned you that mask. Do it so I can grind you out beneath my heel." No harm come to her...who the hell did they think they were?

[AMATERASU]

Things were escalating to outrageous proportions very quickly. Raheal was moving faster than my eyes could follow, spewing vitriol that proved incomprehensible over the storm's roar. One of these Godless harlots had even disrobed!

As tempting as it was to draw my blade, Ascalon was not meant to taste human blood. And besides, I felt quite sure I was out of my depth. All I could do was trust in my guide. I backed off, hand still on the mouth of Ascalon's sheath, and took shelter under a nearby tree.

What would be would be. It was only proper that I witness and record the happenings here for future reference, one way or another.

[Nekomata Minh]

In all seriousness Junko was too focused on moving forward to even think about looking back. The only problem was that she couldn't help put wonder if moving ahead was the best idea. At the moment her strides were long and, fast but, eventually they slowed down do until she stopped again.

She was thinking about her next move when fate made it for her. Junko finally decided to check up on things by looking back at Michiko. Things over there looked like they were growing into a bad outcome really fast. Even though the other person held their ground the other Hyuuga was taking matters of her own, rash ones at that. There was no use contacting those who are already involved with this drama.

Well no body except one person in particular. With that in mind Junko sent a mental message to someone who wasn't here to witness all of this chaos but, was important to be imformed of its progress. "Godric, this is Junko Haruma I have urgent news. During our mission two unknown subjects have intruded in our work. We haven't aquired the rogue known as Caleb yet but, now it seems one of the foreign subjects who turns out to be another Hyuuga is confronting Michiko-sempai in an unsettling manner. I will let you know if things get worse. For now I am transmitting mental images to you displaying our current location."

Junko would then switch the mental link towards her Michiko. "What is going on over there Michiko?! I don't think this situation is under control. Whatever you do please be careful. I am not sure what I should be doing right now either to be honest." Junko's worries can only serve to keep her on the defensive. She hopes her peers can shed a little guidance to help ease her mind.

[Draven]

Godric in reply to Junko sent back a telepathic message, "Where are you?"



(Explanation: The communication network acts like a cell phone except through telepathy. You can "call" up anyone Godric knows and has put into "Charmed(Permanent)/Camaraderie performed" and they can decided to answer or choose not to hear the words vice versa you can choose not to listen to someones telepathic words. You can't do group calls so it is only between you and the person you are calling. You cannot read minds or others can't read your mind. Godric is the only one who can "call" someone and they are forced to mentally hear his words.

Being contacted by: Junko: Knows appearance of Junko Charmed(Permanent)/Camaraderie performed/Has other communication abilities via other charmed subjects, Reference under People Godric knows [My RP thread reference])

Communication Network:

SPOILER: Click to show

Camaraderie
Rank: "B"
Skill: GenJutsu
Effect: When performed, all of these creatures instantly learn of each other by name (if the user knows it) and current appearance.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: This Jutsu affects every creature an enchanter currently has an active Charm Jutsu on.
Description: A Mind-Affecting Technique. Affects charmed creatures. The user is able to perform this technique at a distance of 30 meters plus 15 meters per class level. The duration of this technique is instantaneous. This technique may be negated. From now until the charm effect wears off them, all these creatures consider each other trusted friends. The enhanced bond created by this Jutsu allows all of the charmed beings affected by it to share any abilities the user might have to communicate with them. Lastly, beings under a Camaraderie fight better together, enjoying a +1 to striking attacks while within line of sight of at least 1 another.
Limit: Must know the Charm Perception.

Communication Abilities granted between all charmed creatures and people:

Beyond Words
Rank: "C"
Skill: GenJutsu
Effect: Beyond Words allows the user to communicate mentally with the target during its duration.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: Similar to Thrall's Understanding, this Jutsu can be performed at any point during the Charm effect.
Description: A Mind-Affecting Technique. Affects anyone who sees the user. The user is able to perform this technique at a distance of 7 meters plus 6 meters per class level. The duration of this technique lasts for 5 hours per class level. This technique may be negated. In addition to the effects of Thrall's Understanding, Beyond Words allows the user to communicate mentally with the target during its duration. Once performed, the target can travel any distance from the user and still remains affected by the initial Charm effect, regardless of the range limitations of the original Jutsu.
Limit: Must know the Charm Perception. Must know Thrall's Understanding.
For reference:

SPOILER: Click to show

Thrall's Understanding (10)

Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: Thrall's Understanding must be performed on the user's next action after they successfully affected a target with a Charm Jutsu.
Description: A Mind-Affecting Technique. Affects a Charmed creature. The user is able to perform this technique at a distance of 7 meters plus 6 meters per class level. The duration of this technique lasts for 5 hours per class level. This technique may be negated. The user does not gain the ability to communicate in this language with any being except the charmed target. However, the target instantly understands any command or information the user wishes to impart. This Jutsu even allows the target to grasp concepts normally beyond its intelligence. A final advantage of this Jutsu is that, because of the additional bond with the target, the duration of the original charm effect is determined as if performed 1 Class Level.
Limit: Must know the Charm Perception. Must know Charmed Person (and other Charmed Jutsus depending on the creature type).

Bonded Thoughts
Rank: "A"
Skill: GenJutsu

Bonded Thoughts has a duration equal to the charm Jutsu in question, ending immediately when the latter does. The user can initiate telepathic contact over any distance at any time with a subject of this Jutsu. The subject can also initiate this contact, but the user can block communication if desired. This bond allows the user to give commands without needing a common language.
Limit: Must know the Charm Perception. Must know Charmed Person (and other Charmed Jutsus depending on the creature type).

[Nekomata Minh]

Junko would send a mental message back to Godric: "We are in front of the forest that leads towards the rain village. A storm is brewing up so Zeki can't stay very long. I am a few feet ahead of Michiko whom is dealing with one of the two unknown people who stopped us. Zeki is flying overhead as we speak."

A mental message was sent to the kage. The message comes with a close up scan of the hyuuga woman and the following message. ""During our mission we have been intruded upon by a member of the village of sound. She is making threats of violence against our team , me in particular, and has already openly admitted she will spy on our villages missions. She is a security threat and i am requesting permission to snuff her out. Out of respect for our neutral standing to her village i will currently not initiate combat, though should she engage I will destroy her before you can arrive, please respond. Both Michiko's arms fell gently to her side. If the opponent hyuuga is bothering to pay attention to Michiko's expression under the mask she'll see nothing more than bordom. Michiko waits till the little girl is done throwing her temper tantrum and replies to her words. "Skank? No fool? I beg to differ. Disgrace to the name hyuuga? The hyuuga mean no more to me than the uchiha, or the yamanaka. My personal history is just that, mine. You're quite arrogant to think your ways of thinking are the only ways of thinking and to judge me based on your own preconceptions. I was being honest in my offer and you've made your choice. Do not sit and attempt to tell me what my plans are just because you're poor excuse of a mind cannot come up with something better." As she speaks she reaches slowly into her bag and belt with both hands and withdraws a single kunai and a lightning tag. As she continues to speak she slowly begins attaching the tag to the kunai. "The time it takes to "strap myself with bombs" is minimal, and I was under the impression you were here for answers not to lay judgement on someone you know nothing about. So in completely turnning down my offer with such haste it appears you have lied about your reasons for being here, and thus you are nothing more than a lying trator to your kind. Im not sure what kind of people the village of sound raise but if you are any example they must all be failures. " "I need not prove myself to anyone. And I care not if you or any other hyuuga deem me "worthy" of these eyes. Any foolish enough to try are more than welcome to do their best at taking them from me. Though if you do, I will warn you not only will i take your eyes. I will take your familys, Michiko states then she gestures to the companion with the sword standing at a distance back. and your friends as well. " Her voice was more than calm and collected, it was at ease. There was no overconfidence in her voice it was almost as if she was simply reading a pamphlet outloud, as if no care for this hyuuga was left in her mind. During her final speech Michiko's body shifted slightly at an angle so her torso was aimed just off center, the hyuuga would have seen this but most others around would have missed it. With the Kunai-Lightning tag combo in her left hand she took no combat pose and awaited the womans response. SPOILER: Click to show Active Jutsu ======================================================================================= Byakugan Rank: "C"x3 [50TP] (Special, See Description) Skill: NinJutsu Effect: An jutsu when activating allows the user the ability to constantly see chakra. Special: --- Drawback: May Learn at a maximum of 5 times. Description: Picture An Eye jutsu for the Hyūga Clan. When activating the user's eyes dilate in the same white color as veins bulge out of the corner of the eyes. The user can activate this technique as a "C" Rank technique taking up handseals. The user is able to see through and thus ignore lighter forms of concealment, such as smoke or mist. The user may concentrate for an amount of Handseals equal to a "C" Rank Technique while their Byakugan is active to gain the See Chakra and See Through Chakra effects for as long as the user concentrates and their Byakugan remains active. Deactivating this Ability takes up no movements. When the user learns this technique the 1st 2 times they train it as a regular "C" Rank Jutsu. When the user learns this technique the 2nd 2 times they train it as a "C" Rank Jutsu +10 Training Points. When the user learns this technique the last time they train it as a "C" Rank Jutsu +20 Training Points. Limit: Must be in the Hyūga clan. See Chakra and See Through Chakra Effects See Chakra: User can see chakra being used, chakra auras and lingering chakra. It allows the user to attempt to identify the effect of lingering chakra (use Chakra Lore Skills). User can make an Observation skill check to detect GenJutsu techniques or see Chakra Activity. User can focus their sight to examine a creature or object to detect traces of lingering chakra with an Observation check. Traces are the result of an active effect placed on the target from a technique or ability needing Chakra. Success allows the user to make a second check to identify the effect to get a rough idea of the source, but requires a clear line of sight to the target. Check difficulty depends on the Source Strength. "D" and "C" Rank/Class, Faint strength, Very Difficult Difficulty. "B" Rank/Class, Moderate strength, Difficult Difficulty. "A" Rank/Class, Strong strength, Average Difficulty. "S" Rank/Class, Overwhelming strength, Easy Difficulty. A User can see a creature's Class Level and can determine the strength of the chakra signature, but does not gain a bonus to Observation checks to detect a creature regardless of the strength of its chakra aura. Each Chakra signature has an individual color to it, but it is typically not plausible for the user to remember each one. This ability depends on sight and does not function when blinded. See Chakra: See Through Chakra: This ability functions like See Chakra, but the user gains a +20 circumstance bonus to Observation checks to detect lingering chakra, genjutsu, and see chakra activity (+5 circumstance bonus every additional learning of Byakugan). User also gains a +2 resistance bonus to disbelieve GenJutsu and Mind Affecting techniques (+1 resistance bonus every additional learning of Byakugan). The user knows can tell a non-corporeal chakra constructs or a physical entity. User can tell most summons and clones by sight (Exception Kage Bunshin no Jutsu and similar techniques). User can see internal uses of chakra such as active Bloodline abilities and ranks of Lingering Chakra. ======================================================================================= Passive or Activated non-Draining abilities. ======================================================================================= Unscathed Rank: "C" Skill: Trait Effect: The user is amazingly resistant to energy attacks because of their upbringing or Chakra experimentation. Special: --- Drawback: --- Description: Each type of energy resistance the user has (if any) increases by 20 Armour Points. This trait replaces 1 of the 5 Freebies. Limit: Must start with Character; 1 Freebie. ======================================================================================= Chakra Resistance Rank: "B" Skill: Trait Effect: Some Humans are even less affected by Chakra. Special: --- Drawback: --- Description: Increases the characters natural bonus on saves vs. Chakra Jutsus & Chakra-like effects to +4 Trait Bonus. Users gain a Damage Resistance against Chakra Techniques equal to 20 points Racial Bonus. This trait replaces 2 of the 5 Freebies. Limit: Must start with Character; 2 Freebies.. ======================================================================================= Grendle Ancestry Rank: "B" Skill: Trait Effect: A trait that grants healing properties to the user. Special: --- Drawback: Cannot gain any other Ancestry Traits. Description: Some human bloodlines trace their linage back to a grendle, an offspring born of troll and human parentage. Living humans with this racial trait are immune to bleeding out. If they are also "C" Class they heal Minor damage per 15 rounds. If they "A" Class and they lose a limb, an organ, or any other body part, once per day the user's severed body members (fingers, toes, hands, feet, arms, legs, tails, broken bones, and ruined organs grow back. The physical regeneration is complete in 1 round if the severed members are present and touching the creature. It takes 15 rounds otherwise. Regenerate also heals Serious Damage within 15 rounds, and rids the subject of exhaustion and/or fatigue. It has no effect on nonliving creatures (including undead). This trait replaces 2 of the 5 Freebies. Limit: Must start with Character; 2 Freebies.. ======================================================================================= Koutetsu no Karada (Steel Body) -[90TP] Rank: "D", "C", "B", "A", "S" Skill: Ninjutsu, Supplementary in Weapon Form. Effect: Determines the durability of the user's Steel Body. Special: "Hand Seals", supplementary in Weapon Form. Drawback: The more durable the body is, the less speed that the user has. The speed is of the user is reduced by one Difficulty Class from their current Difficulty Class for every Rank of the technique that the user has active. If at any point the user's Difficulty Class for movements reduces below "D" Rank, they will be considered to have zero movements per turn, unless they are performing the required handseals to obtain a lower Durability. Description: The Koutestu no Karada, or the Steel Body, is the understanding of just how powerful the user's steel has become. The Steel of the body is capable of resisting up to one strike of the same Rank as it before becoming injured. This technique, while not in weapon form, can be modified around, due to the fact that the lower the ranking, the faster that the user is capable of moving with less training. When the user has transformed into Weapon Form, they will automatically take the highest rank of this ability in order to state their durability. Limit: Must have Koutetsu Katansei of the same rank. ======================================================================================= Karada Sumiyaka (Body Speed) -[90TP] Rank: "D", "C", "B", "A", "S" Skill: Supplementary Effect: Allows the user to learn to move at speeds equivalent to their Difficulty Class. Special: --- Drawback: Must learn the technique for every rank of Koutetsu no Karada or else the user will suffer from movement penalties. Description: This specialized form of training is given to those individuals within the Seitetsu Clan. Upon becoming an individual with the Steel Body technique, the user's own speeds will dramatically suffer. This training allows the user to act as if they were unaffected by the steel transitions within the body, allowing them to fight normally. Each Rank of this technique reduces the Difficulty Class Movement Penalty imposed by the Steel Body technique by one Difficulty Class, meaning that if the user only has the "D" Rank of this technique but switches to "B" Rank Steel Body, then they will have their movements reduced to the point that they would move as if they were two Difficulty Classes lower than they were, instead of three. If they have the "C" Rank Steel Body, then they will suffer only a singular class deduction with the "B" Rank Steel Body, and the "B" Rank of this technique would allow for no Difficulty Class Movement Penalty for the "B" Rank Steel Body. Limit: Must have the corresponding rank of Koutetsu no Karada. ======================================================================================= Know Their Pain Rank: "C" Skill: NinJutsu Effect: Get an understanding of how much life a target has. Special: --- Drawback: This does not work on undead. Description: The user looks over another creature and can discern how close it is to releasing its soul. There are no hand movements, no actions, the user simply looks at the target and can simply know how much more life the target has before the soul finally leaves the body. This does not work on undead. This is normally used for NPC purposes. Opponent's cannot state how much life a PC character will have unless they are at the verge of death. Limit: Must be a Soulcaster. ======================================================================================= Kikaichu no Jutsu (Destruction Bug Host Technique) -[10TP] Rank: D Skill: Ninjutsu Effect: Allows the user to control the kikaichu given to him by the Kikaichu Ishoku ritual.

Description: When concentrating to See Through Chakra, the character can also spend time equal to Handseals to gain the ability to see through objects with X-ray like vision up to 10 meters from the user. This does not impede the user's line of sight and the distance a user can normally see, however they simply will not be able to use the X-ray ability beyond 10 meters. When the user first learns this technique the user trains it as a regular "C" Rank Jutsu. Each additional training allows the user to use the X-Ray ability for an additional 10 meters.

[Ranzu]

Zeki continues to circle the two Hyuugas, growing restless of their talks. It was evident that the two were not getting along, but Michiko was not disengaging. Actually, she seemed to be doing something with a tag. She was always doing something with tags, though...

For a brief second the Sadojin takes his eyes off of the tense moment to look at the nearby storm clouds, making sure they were not closing in too fast. He returned his attention to the hyuugas, trying to calculate the fastest way to dive to the pair.

[Draven]

Godric responded mentally to Michiko, "Is she Main house, if so than no. I am coming to deal with the situation. I am an official of the Main House and inform her that I am on my way. Make sure to tell her an Official of the Main Branch is on his way. And again I repeat do not take her out, wait for me, this is my duty within the Main House."

[Draven]

[enter]

Godric loved cloudy weather. The reason was because if the sun was up it would have no effect on him as the rays would not shine. But weather it was up or not Godric approached.

Godric was riding a black horse named Kuroi. He was an eight foot tall Giant riding a large horse. To add to this intimidation he had a Multi Weapon Holster with 20 katanas inside, this holster and all katanas had their size increased by a factor of two. The holster was wrapped in cloth and made to look like a large cross on his back. The cross itself was about seven feet in length. But more to this Godric had the Benihime katana on his left hip in a sheath, another normal katana in a sheath on his right hip. He wore fancy clothing much like you'd see in a story book about kings and queens. He would be the "Lord" within this story.

With his Lordly clothing Godric also had a fancy Cloak. Inside the cloak was a pair of goggles that had the following visions, Night, Lie Detection, Thermal, X-ray, and 5x zoom. He had a chest rig under his cloak on his chest with 5 slots of kunai. Also he had a utility belt around his waist. Within the belt he had a slot of Bo Shurikens, a slot of Darts, a slot of goo pouches, a slot of flash pouches, fifty holder enhancements, a map of the known world, a compass, and seven doses of hawkweed.

So being so strapped with weaponry Godric was approaching Michiko and Rahael from the north. Maybe 100 meters away. The horse he was on was running along the treeline and approaching fast. If Michiko gave this other Hyuuga the correct information, it might give himself enough time to stop this madness. The thought of the Main House blaming him for a Main House member death angered him a little. On the other hand a Death of a Hyuuga under his charge was just as upsetting, even if it was another Branch House member like he was.... All in all Godric was approaching...

[Hoarfrost Imp]

they continued to face off, Rahael's blank eyes stained by the bulging veins of her birthright. Michikio was a chihuahua and this all confirmed it. So many double standards and contradictions fell out of her mouth she must have found it hard to breathe between all the shit she was trying to talk. "You're scared." Time to shift gears. "If you had to capability of ridding yourself of me, you would have already. Interrupting official AnBu security measures is punishable by death, i've been on the mission." And what about this time sensitive case they were on?

"how can you expect me to believe anything you say, when you have no pride as a Hyuuga, threaten your own kin, strap yourself with bombs and then disrobe like I am going to hug you." A mere shake of the head followed. "If you have enough time to sit and hug another women while stripped naked, then your mission must be you are late to your house of shameless harlots of the flesh." Only an idiot would fall for such a cartoonish act. The sand man continued o watch and circle, glancing away towards something she had missed, no matter.

"I invite you to strike me down if you think yourself my superior. A mere dismissal or neutral mitigation would have sufficed for me to leave you to your devices. Now you are just asking for it. So, are we going to proceed with this mission or?" With a casual smile she turned her eyes to the direction the third member had gone down and began to walk casually towards them. One meter at a time. Who was going to stop her honestly? She had all but invited them to do what they felt needed, and simply talked. cowards talked, Rahael was a warrior.

[AMATERASU]

Things were coming to a head. I could feel in my bones the immense pressure being given off by the two Hyuuga. I offered a silent prayer for Rahael's immortal soul I would not involve myself in foreign politics, would not wet my holy-sword with human blood.

Soon matters would reach their conclusion, one way or another. I felt that violence looked to be the more probable.

[Nekomata Minh]

Junko would stand her ground from where she was. There was no need to move forward from here. This was a safe place to see how things will carry along so Junko literally took a seat in the grass to rest for a while.

Michiko’s face under the mask shifts to an exasperated look. Her body visibly sigh’s as she places one hand on her mask as if she’s covering the center of her face. An obvious and complete facepalm even with the mask. “You are truly an idiot. I have no reason to fear you. And you are correct about interrupting AnBu business being an offense punishable by death. However it is painfully obvious you’ve never actually taken the role of an AnBu or you would know you report directly to your Kage. Our villages are neutral in standing, which earned you the warning you received. My kindness earned you the offer of answers you were seeking. You’re stupidity nearly cost you your life but my Kage’s interest in you has saved it. He is currently on his way here now. He has asked me to tell you he is a Main branch member, and though the politics of the hyuuga clan are of little interest to me I presume you understand the brevity of whatever that may mean.” Michiko’s body language shifts from no longer being a neutral stance to one of disappointment. Her shoulders shift and her hand rests on her hip. “You don’t seem to listen when other speak, so listen well. You are not my kin. My use of weapons, bombs including, is none of your business unless you wish to engage me in combat and yes im fully aware I use bombs you need not continue to repeat yourself like I wasn’t already aware. Also on the subject of the blatantly obvious im fully aware I have disrobed and im fully aware you see it as some sort of moral slight against you. Get over yourself. For all your talk of “the ancestors” and “hyuuga clansmen” and of me “wearing the body of a clansmen” its obvious you disapprove of my choices in life. Thankfully these were not choices you had to make, for obviously they would have broken your psyche. I appreciate you have your own points of view on how certain things should be, but unless you’re helplessly dense you should understand that just because its what YOU think, doesn’t make it fact.” Michiko’s arm falls to her side again as her body visibly shows an inhale and a slow exhale as if processing the complete idiocy of the person she’s speaking with. “To answer your comment about being your superior, I am. Everything you are is laid bare with your movements and speeches. I have been ordered not to slay you were you stand. And the fact that our kage is on his way here is the only reason I have bothered to follow this order and not slay you then continue on with our mission. There is still time technically. Otherwise I would have simply said you attacked first and ended you.” Michiko shrugs. Slowly she spins the kunai with the lightning tag attached. The blade flicks between her fingers in an almost absent minded manner but with a very steady spin pace with no delay or hesitation as it rotates at exactly the same speed. If the opponent hyuuga was monitoring Michiko’s chakra levels she would notice they are fluxuating as if she’s preparing to use a chakra related technique, though her body belays no sign of movement to match with this. SPOILER: Click to show Active Jutsu ======================================================================================= Byakugan Rank: "C"x3 [50TP] (Special, See Description) Skill: NinJutsu Effect: An jutsu when activating allows the user the ability to constantly see chakra. Special: --- Drawback: May Learn at a maximum of 5 times. Description: Picture An Eye jutsu for the Hyūga Clan. When activating the user's eyes dilate in the same white color as veins bulge out of the corner of the eyes. The user can activate this technique as a "C" Rank technique taking up handseals. The user is able to see through and thus ignore lighter forms of concealment, such as smoke or mist. The user may concentrate for an amount of Handseals equal to a "C" Rank Technique while their Byakugan is active to gain the See Chakra and See Through Chakra effects for as long as the user concentrates and their Byakugan remains active. Deactivating this Ability takes up no movements. When the user learns this technique the 1st 2 times they train it as a regular "C" Rank Jutsu. When the user learns this technique the 2nd 2 times they train it as a "C" Rank Jutsu +10 Training Points. When the user learns this technique the last time they train it as a "C" Rank Jutsu +20 Training Points. Limit: Must be in the Hyūga clan. See Chakra and See Through Chakra Effects See Chakra: User can see chakra being used, chakra auras and lingering chakra. It allows the user to attempt to identify the effect of lingering chakra (use Chakra Lore Skills). User can make an Observation skill check to detect GenJutsu techniques or see Chakra Activity. User can focus their sight to examine a creature or object to detect traces of lingering chakra with an Observation check. Traces are the result of an active effect placed on the target from a technique or ability needing Chakra. Success allows the user to make a second check to identify the effect to get a rough idea of the source, but requires a clear line of sight to the target. Check difficulty depends on the Source Strength. "D" and "C" Rank/Class, Faint strength, Very Difficult Difficulty. "B" Rank/Class, Moderate strength, Difficult Difficulty. "A" Rank/Class, Strong strength, Average Difficulty. "S" Rank/Class, Overwhelming strength, Easy Difficulty. A User can see a creature's Class Level and can determine the strength of the chakra signature, but does not gain a bonus to Observation checks to detect a creature regardless of the strength of its chakra aura. Each Chakra signature has an individual color to it, but it is typically not plausible for the user to remember each one. This ability depends on sight and does not function when blinded. See Chakra: See Through Chakra: This ability functions like See Chakra, but the user gains a +20 circumstance bonus to Observation checks to detect lingering chakra, genjutsu, and see chakra activity (+5 circumstance bonus every additional learning of Byakugan). User also gains a +2 resistance bonus to disbelieve GenJutsu and Mind Affecting techniques (+1 resistance bonus every additional learning of Byakugan). The user knows can tell a non-corporeal chakra constructs or a physical entity. User can tell most summons and clones by sight (Exception Kage Bunshin no Jutsu and similar techniques). User can see internal uses of chakra such as active Bloodline abilities and ranks of Lingering Chakra. ======================================================================================= Passive or Activated non-Draining abilities. ======================================================================================= Unscathed Rank: "C" Skill: Trait Effect: The user is amazingly resistant to energy attacks because of their upbringing or Chakra experimentation. Special: --- Drawback: --- Description: Each type of energy resistance the user has (if any) increases by 20 Armour Points. This trait replaces 1 of the 5 Freebies. Limit: Must start with Character; 1 Freebie. ======================================================================================= Chakra Resistance Rank: "B" Skill: Trait Effect: Some Humans are even less affected by Chakra. Special: --- Drawback: --- Description: Increases the characters natural bonus on saves vs. Chakra Jutsus & Chakra-like effects to +4 Trait Bonus. Users gain a Damage Resistance against Chakra Techniques equal to 20 points Racial Bonus. This trait replaces 2 of the 5 Freebies. Limit: Must start with Character; 2 Freebies.. ======================================================================================= Grendle Ancestry Rank: "B" Skill: Trait Effect: A trait that grants healing properties to the user. Special: --- Drawback: Cannot gain any other Ancestry Traits. Description: Some human bloodlines trace their linage back to a grendle, an offspring born of troll and human parentage. Living humans with this racial trait are immune to bleeding out. If they are also "C" Class they heal Minor damage per 15 rounds. If they "A" Class and they lose a limb, an organ, or any other body part, once per day the user's severed body members (fingers, toes, hands, feet, arms, legs, tails, broken bones, and ruined organs grow back. The physical regeneration is complete in 1 round if the severed members are present and touching the creature. It takes 15 rounds otherwise. Regenerate also heals Serious Damage within 15 rounds, and rids the subject of exhaustion and/or fatigue. It has no effect on nonliving creatures (including undead). This trait replaces 2 of the 5 Freebies. Limit: Must start with Character; 2 Freebies.. ======================================================================================= Koutetsu no Karada (Steel Body) -[90TP] Rank: "D", "C", "B", "A", "S" Skill: Ninjutsu, Supplementary in Weapon Form. Effect: Determines the durability of the user's Steel Body. Special: "Hand Seals", supplementary in Weapon Form. Drawback: The more durable the body is, the less speed that the user has. The speed is of the user is reduced by one Difficulty Class from their current Difficulty Class for every Rank of the technique that the user has active. If at any point the user's Difficulty Class for movements reduces below "D" Rank, they will be considered to have zero movements per turn, unless they are performing the required handseals to obtain a lower Durability. Description: The Koutestu no Karada, or the Steel Body, is the understanding of just how powerful the user's steel has become. The Steel of the body is capable of resisting up to one strike of the same Rank as it before becoming injured. This technique, while not in weapon form, can be modified around, due to the fact that the lower the ranking, the faster that the user is capable of moving with less training. When the user has transformed into Weapon Form, they will automatically take the highest rank of this ability in order to state their durability. Limit: Must have Koutetsu Katansei of the same rank. ======================================================================================= Karada Sumiyaka (Body Speed) -[90TP] Rank: "D", "C", "B", "A", "S" Skill: Supplementary Effect: Allows the user to learn to move at speeds equivalent to their Difficulty Class. Special: --- Drawback: Must learn the technique for every rank of Koutetsu no Karada or else the user will suffer from movement penalties. Description: This specialized form of training is given to those individuals within the Seitetsu Clan. Upon becoming an individual with the Steel Body technique, the user's own speeds will dramatically suffer. This training allows the user to act as if they were unaffected by the steel transitions within the body, allowing them to fight normally. Each Rank of this technique reduces the Difficulty Class Movement Penalty imposed by the Steel Body technique by one Difficulty Class, meaning that if the user only has the "D" Rank of this technique but switches to "B" Rank Steel Body, then they will have their movements reduced to the point that they would move as if they were two Difficulty Classes lower than they were, instead of three. If they have the "C" Rank Steel Body, then they will suffer only a singular class deduction with the "B" Rank Steel Body, and the "B" Rank of this technique would allow for no Difficulty Class Movement Penalty for the "B" Rank Steel Body. Limit: Must have the corresponding rank of Koutetsu no Karada. ======================================================================================= Know Their Pain Rank: "C" Skill: NinJutsu Effect: Get an understanding of how much life a target has. Special: --- Drawback: This does not work on undead. Description: The user looks over another creature and can discern how close it is to releasing its soul. There are no hand movements, no actions, the user simply looks at the target and can simply know how much more life the target has before the soul finally leaves the body. This does not work on undead. This is normally used for NPC purposes. Opponent's cannot state how much life a PC character will have unless they are at the verge of death. Limit: Must be a Soulcaster. ======================================================================================= Kikaichu no Jutsu (Destruction Bug Host Technique) -[10TP] Rank: D Skill: Ninjutsu Effect: Allows the user to control the kikaichu given to him by the Kikaichu Ishoku ritual. Special: N/A Drawback: The kikaichu feed from the shinobis chakra.

Limit: Must learn from a Jyuuken teacher or at the Hyuuga Mansion.

The distance of this vision is 1/5th of the user's knowledge in Telescopic Eye (Maximum Distance 40 Meters). Please note that the further the user may see, the larger the blind spot becomes. User is still subject to eye attacks. Limit: Must be in the Hyūga clan. =======================================================================================

[Ranzu]

Zeki continued to hover above the two hyuuga, though he had fretting over the situation under him. Michiko had still not attacked the other hyuuga for some reason, which he put down to orders over the mental communication network. While he hated how the network was formed, the usefulness of it was very high he had to admit.

The Sadojin shifts his view from the hyuugas to scan the opposite treeline for Junko, spotting her before she had fully entered the trees. Relief that the two were still safe and that there clearly had not been a third member of the enemy team waiting in ambush was brief, as worry about a new aspect of the mental communication network formed.

[Draven]

It was not hard to notice the winged machine in the air. Zeki and Junko hovering there was a marker as to the location of those on the ground. Godric went into action as he hoisted his right leg around his horse Kuroi and let his feet fall to terra firma. Then with a flick of the muscles in his ankle he was gone with a shunshin.

Ten Shunshins had propelled Godric into position. He stood facing south in the center of the two opposing groups. Godric turned to what he had assumed was the Hyuuga that Junko was talking about, "Is this a Hyuuga matter or a Village matter?" Godric asked in a kind of whispering Singsongy voice. His Byakugan was activated to show that he was a member of the family. But he let the question hang in the air. What would this Rahael Hyuuga say for herself, or would she be pushed into action?...

To show that this Rahael should not be messing around Godric bared his fangs, as well as let a chakra start forming around his body. This chakra was Hyuuga in nature as well and should be recognizable by the clan. It was the Hakkeshou technique, the countermeasures to the Uchiha clan, it was the awe inspiring technique that fuels Jyunken fists, it was the base around how the Hyuuga clan brings in their glory. This technique was the technique that gave Godric his name within the Hyuuga clan. The Dark Hand of the Hyuuga was present upon this field of politics...

Any Hyuuga should know about this. The Dark Hand of the Hyuuga might not just be a fairy tale after all. The deeds that Godric had done for the Main House, to quell rebel Hyuuga within the clans, to eliminate those whom go against the elders, to get his hands dirty to keep theirs clean. This he had done throughout the decades so that he could avoid having to get the Curse Seal. He was the exact description of this boogy man of they Hyuuga. The tale parents told to their children so that they'd behave. The 8 foot tall giant of a Hyuuga with silver hair, teeth that could tear flesh, with a look of some ancient creature of the past, this should be a Branch House monster that kills those who misbehave... But was it possible? Those stories had to be at least 100 years old or more? But here this boogy man was staring Rahael in the eyes...

[Hoarfrost Imp]

So much talking...she had learned to tune it all out selectively, though the part of being her superior was too funny to not at least break a smile at. "You were saying something?" At the unimpeded distance of 20 some meters it got hard for a normal human to hear, and Rahael had not been stopped in her walk towards the dual bodied one in he distance. Unfortunately flickering in the distance resorted in the colossal figure of Godric Hyuuga. He didn't need much of an introduction for her to know him from looks, not name, the recently promoted leader of Iwagakure. This meant no paying around. "This quickly went from Hyuuga to personal and clans worthy."

Though he bared his fangs she feared no man, woman, child or beast. His eyes proved him to be a Hyuuga but his blatant disrespect to the Main House must have been an overview on his part. She would make sure to correct him. The sudden flow of chakra from Godric the Giant was stong, disheartening in most cases, but she met it with a fierce challenge of her own, crouching low to bare her own fang. A powerful flow of pure chakra elongating her spine, pouring off her body as she both applied the barrier and multi-legged clan technique. Her teeth protruded into monstrous fangs that hung over her lip.

"I am Rahael Hyuuga of the Hyuuga Main Branch, my business here is personal and not a matter of village antics." She didnt need to swivel her eyes to see Michiko or whatever her name was, the edge of her all seeing eye still keeping her on point. With no seal visible on him, she could not discern him as a member of the serving family but Main house to Main house was still a punishable offense. She sudden saw whee Iwa got its attitude. "Your disrespectful excuse of a shinobi bare raise their hands in offense to a superior. Whether on follows the teachings of the family or not, ignorance is no excuse from the laws." Who cares if she tried to interrupt? "I came here entirely by chance, spotting another member of the family, and greeted her with open arms. My headband is on my person, clearly visible to my eyes, hers and even yours." There was no lie in this.

"You can see how open her reception was to one of her own. Her threat to take my eyes did not fall on deaf ears either." A little slant on the situation to fuel her purpose. She didnt have the...chakra of Godtic, but she had more heart than most. If anything she was proving she would not be pushed into some submissive position through sheer will alone. "In short, I approached with no weapon in hand, was insulted, mentally and intellectually, threatened and belittled by a branch member. I presume you to be a Main House as well?" She tapped the back of her clawed hand to her forehead. No seal. Was Godric and honorable man? Or the monster he tried to come off as? Even he was no longer just a Hyuuga...what had happened to this honorable clan? Fanged, metal bodied, bug wielding lepers...they too must have been human at some point...

SPOILER: Click to show

Hakkeshou: Nankan (Hands of the Eight Divinations: Barrier)
Rank: C
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: Speeds up the user by 2 movements each time used.
Special: --
Drawback: Can only be used five times a day. If the user is higher than C rank, it still requires twenty TP to learn Nankan again.
Description: The user excretes chakra from their tenketsu steadily, creating a barrier around them that alerts the user of motion before it comes near the user, giving them the appearance of heightened reflexes. Some maintain that this skill was created in order to combat the Sharingan. The user can only use this technique five times a day when first learned. Each time it is learned again, the user can use it one extra time per day.
Limit: Must learn from a Jyuuken teacher or at the Hyuuga Mansion. Must be a Hyuuga. Must know Jyuuken Advanced Stance.

Shikyaku no Jutsu, 四脚の術, (Four Legs Technique)
Rank: "D", "C", "B"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: Depending on the Ranking of the technique the user becomes faster, as well as slightly stronger then that of what they were as a human being. Depending on the Technique that the user knows the faster they are capable of going, the stronger they are, but the largest problem is that the more they stay within the technique the more severe the effects become. When the user learns the "D" Rank version of the technique the user is capable of attacking once more then usual within battle because of their speed. When the user learns the "C" Rank version of the technique the user is capable of attacking one and a half more times then normal in every round. When the user learns the "B" Rank version of the technique the user is capable of performing two more attacks then normal per round. When the user is "D" Class the user is capable of sustaining this form for an amount of five rounds. For every Class higher then D The amount of rounds the user can sustain this form is one round her giving a total of nine rounds. This however means that, if they use their speed then that is when the amount of rounds must be placed in. If the user does not use the speed, then the amount of techniques does not take place in.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: Takes an amount of time for the user the capability of learning. This type of technique also makes the user tire quite easily. Depending on the rank is dependent on how much the user must rest after using the full strength of the speed style of the Four Legs Technique. For every round the user stays in this technique after the amount of rounds, the user's muscles begins to tear, for they can not stay in that form for very long. For every round they are in with the D Rank version the percentage of muscle tissue breaking is five percent and increases five percent each round. For the C Rank version the percentage of muscle tissue breaking is ten percent and increases ten percent each round. For the B Rank version the percentage of muscle tissue breaking is fifteen percent and increases fifteen percent each round. The moment their muscle tissue breaks they will be incapacitated, and will need medical treatment. Each time using this technique they must take a break of ten rounds for D Rank Version, Fifteen rounds for C Rank version and Twenty Rounds for B Rank Version, or within a time skip version where an amount of rest was created.
Description: The way this works is simple, the user's spine becomes more agile, and more curve like to accommodate the sudden sensation of walking and running on all fours. Their arms slowly extends forth a few inches to allow them to move along the ground easier. Their teeth extends into fang like creations as their nails grow into claws. As they do this, their muscle mass becomes more lean, as if contracting against one another in which gives them the agility and strength. Chakra can somewhat be seen as it oozes out of their body in a small way showing the strength and strain within this technique.
Limit: Must be part of the Inuzuka Clan in order to learn this technique.

[Nekomata Minh]

As Junko took her rest shouldn't help but, wonder who this new appearing man was. From where she was she could make out a few bits of everything. Looking over to the man's trusty steed she began to find the clues. She has seen that horse before. In fact...she has seen that man before. In a sudden flashback Junko finally figured it all out. Godric Hyugga has made his presence. Things...have gotten far less boring.

Michiko’s steel body glimmers in the light for a moment but as she turns to face hyuuga walking past she begins to follow and the metallic portions of her skin grow darker in patches, slowly various black spots spread and all of her body’s metallic visible portions are coated in an extremely black layer leaving the exploding tags to still be visible. As the hyuuga begins to shift in form Michiko dashes forward at full speed leaping into the air and dashing past the now more canine looking hyuuga. As she moves through the air black particles are left floating in the air like an after trail as she lands between jugo and the intruder hyuuga, close enough the hyuuga could hear her speak but not close enough a shunshin would allow her to grab hold. Michiko allows her to say her piece and then sends all the information she can on this entire event to godric, if she can send a play-by-play like a recording she will send the entire event from the moment Michiko detected the hyuuga up to now in one compressed thoughtwave. If not she will simply explain the entire thing in a detailed but highspeed conversation. Keeping her eyes on the now very visibly dog-like hyuuga Michiko wells a large portion of chakra within her body and prepares herself for combat. "Very fitting that you show your true form. I suspected you were a real bitch, now we can see its true." Michiko states with a laugh making reference to the fact that the female hyuuga is now more dog like. "For all of your chest puffing and attempted belittling by calling me a skank, and very poor attempts at baiting me into striking you down and even calling me scared you seem very hesitant to act. Is it because you know the weak little punches and kicks the hyuuga practice are their failed attempts at trying to actually work with chakra? Is it because you are one of those "warriors" who's more muscle than brains and think you're always the best? Or is it because you openly admit to interrupting AnBu business, knowing its punishable by death, have made threats against an allied village and upon closer examination realise you could never defeat me?" Michiko states while she grips the kunai with the lightning tag tighter. Her hands display body language as if she's fed up with standing around doing nothing yet her voice speaks softly as if someone is truely curious to the questions they ask. Michiko's chakra is increasing rapidly , it appears as if she's gearing up for a fight. " Kage. She seems very hung up on hyuuga politics or personal vendetta's or the fact that i am cuter than she is, i cant tell which. I mean seriously, she keeps calling herself my superior so hyuuga politics is the only thing i can think of because obviously she's not my superior in terms of combat. "Branch" crap does not interest me. Grant me permission to end this wretch's life, she's been begging for it since she showed up. And i really would like to continue on with my mission. This talking bores me very much so. " Michiko's body is literally oozing various black particles in all directions on a small scale. Its almost as if the now solid black body is disentegrating pieces at a time. If a Byakugan user was to view the particles with a "zoom" aspect they would see they are kikaichu, and because they do not have their own chakra and are currently very hungry they are simply awaiting orders. SPOILER: Click to show Active Jutsu ======================================================================================= Byakugan Rank: "C"x3 [50TP] (Special, See Description) Skill: NinJutsu Effect: An jutsu when activating allows the user the ability to constantly see chakra. Special: --- Drawback: May Learn at a maximum of 5 times. Description: Picture An Eye jutsu for the Hyūga Clan. When activating the user's eyes dilate in the same white color as veins bulge out of the corner of the eyes. The user can activate this technique as a "C" Rank technique taking up handseals. The user is able to see through and thus ignore lighter forms of concealment, such as smoke or mist. The user may concentrate for an amount of Handseals equal to a "C" Rank Technique while their Byakugan is active to gain the See Chakra and See Through Chakra effects for as long as the user concentrates and their Byakugan remains active. Deactivating this Ability takes up no movements. When the user learns this technique the 1st 2 times they train it as a regular "C" Rank Jutsu. When the user learns this technique the 2nd 2 times they train it as a "C" Rank Jutsu +10 Training Points. When the user learns this technique the last time they train it as a "C" Rank Jutsu +20 Training Points. Limit: Must be in the Hyūga clan. See Chakra and See Through Chakra Effects See Chakra: User can see chakra being used, chakra auras and lingering chakra. It allows the user to attempt to identify the effect of lingering chakra (use Chakra Lore Skills). User can make an Observation skill check to detect GenJutsu techniques or see Chakra Activity. User can focus their sight to examine a creature or object to detect traces of lingering chakra with an Observation check. Traces are the result of an active effect placed on the target from a technique or ability needing Chakra. Success allows the user to make a second check to identify the effect to get a rough idea of the source, but requires a clear line of sight to the target. Check difficulty depends on the Source Strength. "D" and "C" Rank/Class, Faint strength, Very Difficult Difficulty. "B" Rank/Class, Moderate strength, Difficult Difficulty. "A" Rank/Class, Strong strength, Average Difficulty. "S" Rank/Class, Overwhelming strength, Easy Difficulty. A User can see a creature's Class Level and can determine the strength of the chakra signature, but does not gain a bonus to Observation checks to detect a creature regardless of the strength of its chakra aura. Each Chakra signature has an individual color to it, but it is typically not plausible for the user to remember each one. This ability depends on sight and does not function when blinded. See Chakra: See Through Chakra: This ability functions like See Chakra, but the user gains a +20 circumstance bonus to Observation checks to detect lingering chakra, genjutsu, and see chakra activity (+5 circumstance bonus every additional learning of Byakugan). User also gains a +2 resistance bonus to disbelieve GenJutsu and Mind Affecting techniques (+1 resistance bonus every additional learning of Byakugan). The user knows can tell a non-corporeal chakra constructs or a physical entity. User can tell most summons and clones by sight (Exception Kage Bunshin no Jutsu and similar techniques). User can see internal uses of chakra such as active Bloodline abilities and ranks of Lingering Chakra. ======================================================================================= Passive or Activated non-Draining abilities. ======================================================================================= Unscathed Rank: "C" Skill: Trait Effect: The user is amazingly resistant to energy attacks because of their upbringing or Chakra experimentation. Special: --- Drawback: --- Description: Each type of energy resistance the user has (if any) increases by 20 Armour Points. This trait replaces 1 of the 5 Freebies. Limit: Must start with Character; 1 Freebie. ======================================================================================= Chakra Resistance Rank: "B" Skill: Trait Effect: Some Humans are even less affected by Chakra. Special: --- Drawback: --- Description: Increases the characters natural bonus on saves vs. Chakra Jutsus & Chakra-like effects to +4 Trait Bonus. Users gain a Damage Resistance against Chakra Techniques equal to 20 points Racial Bonus. This trait replaces 2 of the 5 Freebies. Limit: Must start with Character; 2 Freebies.. ======================================================================================= Grendle Ancestry Rank: "B" Skill: Trait Effect: A trait that grants healing properties to the user. Special: --- Drawback: Cannot gain any other Ancestry Traits. Description: Some human bloodlines trace their linage back to a grendle, an offspring born of troll and human parentage. Living humans with this racial trait are immune to bleeding out. If they are also "C" Class they heal Minor damage per 15 rounds. If they "A" Class and they lose a limb, an organ, or any other body part, once per day the user's severed body members (fingers, toes, hands, feet, arms, legs, tails, broken bones, and ruined organs grow back. The physical regeneration is complete in 1 round if the severed members are present and touching the creature. It takes 15 rounds otherwise. Regenerate also heals Serious Damage within 15 rounds, and rids the subject of exhaustion and/or fatigue. It has no effect on nonliving creatures (including undead). This trait replaces 2 of the 5 Freebies. Limit: Must start with Character; 2 Freebies.. ======================================================================================= Koutetsu no Karada (Steel Body) -[90TP] Rank: "D", "C", "B", "A", "S" Skill: Ninjutsu, Supplementary in Weapon Form. Effect: Determines the durability of the user's Steel Body. Special: "Hand Seals", supplementary in Weapon Form. Drawback: The more durable the body is, the less speed that the user has. The speed is of the user is reduced by one Difficulty Class from their current Difficulty Class for every Rank of the technique that the user has active. If at any point the user's Difficulty Class for movements reduces below "D" Rank, they will be considered to have zero movements per turn, unless they are performing the required handseals to obtain a lower Durability. Description: The Koutestu no Karada, or the Steel Body, is the understanding of just how powerful the user's steel has become. The Steel of the body is capable of resisting up to one strike of the same Rank as it before becoming injured. This technique, while not in weapon form, can be modified around, due to the fact that the lower the ranking, the faster that the user is capable of moving with less training. When the user has transformed into Weapon Form, they will automatically take the highest rank of this ability in order to state their durability. Limit: Must have Koutetsu Katansei of the same rank. ======================================================================================= Karada Sumiyaka (Body Speed) -[90TP] Rank: "D", "C", "B", "A", "S" Skill: Supplementary Effect: Allows the user to learn to move at speeds equivalent to their Difficulty Class. Special: --- Drawback: Must learn the technique for every rank of Koutetsu no Karada or else the user will suffer from movement penalties. Description: This specialized form of training is given to those individuals within the Seitetsu Clan. Upon becoming an individual with the Steel Body technique, the user's own speeds will dramatically suffer. This training allows the user to act as if they were unaffected by the steel transitions within the body, allowing them to fight normally. Each Rank of this technique reduces the Difficulty Class Movement Penalty imposed by the Steel Body technique by one Difficulty Class, meaning that if the user only has the "D" Rank of this technique but switches to "B" Rank Steel Body, then they will have their movements reduced to the point that they would move as if they were two Difficulty Classes lower than they were, instead of three. If they have the "C" Rank Steel Body, then they will suffer only a singular class deduction with the "B" Rank Steel Body, and the "B" Rank of this technique would allow for no Difficulty Class Movement Penalty for the "B" Rank Steel Body. Limit: Must have the corresponding rank of Koutetsu no Karada. ======================================================================================= Know Their Pain Rank: "C" Skill: NinJutsu Effect: Get an understanding of how much life a target has. Special: --- Drawback: This does not work on undead. Description: The user looks over another creature and can discern how close it is to releasing its soul. There are no hand movements, no actions, the user simply looks at the target and can simply know how much more life the target has before the soul finally leaves the body. This does not work on undead. This is normally used for NPC purposes. Opponent's cannot state how much life a PC character will have unless they are at the verge of death. Limit: Must be a Soulcaster. ======================================================================================= Kikaichu no Jutsu (Destruction Bug Host Technique) -[10TP] Rank: D Skill: Ninjutsu Effect: Allows the user to control the kikaichu given to him by the Kikaichu Ishoku ritual. Special: N/A Drawback: The kikaichu feed from the shinobis chakra. Description: This allows the user the control the kikaichu in the use for their techniques. he bugs feed and live off the Chakra which the body stores and in return the Ninja gets to control and command the bugs, using them as their primary fighting technique.

Limit: Must have Kikaichu Ishoku ======================================================================================= Keen Sight Rank: "C" (Special, See Description) Skill: Supplementary Effect: While the Byakugan remains active, the user gains an insight bonus to Observation checks.

Description: Each time learned the user gains +5 insight bonus to their Observation and Sense Motive checks so long as the Byakugan remains active. When the user learns this technique the 1st 2 times they train it as a regular "C" Rank Jutsu. When the user learns this technique the 2nd 2 times they train it as a "C" Rank Jutsu +10 Training Points. When the user learns this technique the 3rd 2 times they train it as a "C" Rank Jutsu +20 Training Points. Limit: Must be in the Hyūga clan. Must know Byakugan. ======================================================================================= Telescopic Eye Rank: "C"x9 (90 meters) (Special, See Description) Skill: Supplementary Effect: The user is able to see much further than normal and access an X-Ray ability. Special: --- Drawback: Must have the Byakugan active. May learn up to ∞ times. Description: When concentrating to See Through Chakra, the character can also spend time equal to Handseals to gain the ability to see through objects with X-ray like vision up to 10 meters from the user. This does not impede the user's line of sight and the distance a user can normally see, however they simply will not be able to use the X-ray ability beyond 10 meters. When the user first learns this technique the user trains it as a regular "C" Rank Jutsu. Each additional training allows the user to use the X-Ray ability for an additional 10 meters. For every 50 meters the user trains an additional +10 Training Points added to their previous training. The user also suffers a penalty to Observation checks every 15 meters instead of every 3 meters. If user loses an eye (has 1 eye) Telescopic Eye is reduced by 50%. Future learning also reduces distance by 50%. Limit: Must be in the Hyūga clan. Must know Byakugan. ======================================================================================= Enlightened Byakugan Rank: "B" Skill: Supplementary Effect: A technique that allows the user to see all around them giving them the ability to no longer become flanked.

By activating this ability the Byakugan gives the user a near 360° field of vision, except for one blind spot at the back of the neck above the first thoracic vertabra. The distance of this vision is 1/5th of the user's knowledge in Telescopic Eye (Maximum Distance 40 Meters). Please note that the further the user may see, the larger the blind spot becomes. User is still subject to eye attacks. Limit: Must be in the Hyūga clan. =======================================================================================

[Ranzu]

Zeki flew through the air still though now he was much closer to the ground and had moved towards Junko's direction in his flight path. The appearance of the Kage put the Sadojin on edge as he still remembered what happened in the tower. "Be on guard, Junko. This situation might erupt at any moment." Zeki mentally sends to her, an uneasy feeling at the steady approach of the enemy hyuuga.

[Draven]

Godric listened and it felt like he was back in leaf trialing for his own freedom once again. History has an odd expression around it. When you least expect it, it repeats... Shaking his head with a scowl, he disliked being put in such tiresome situations. But he started laughing and it got louder, in fact it seemed to be coming from multiple locations. One source close to Zenovia, one source close to Junko and Zeki both, one close to Rahael, and one close to Michiko. It was an obvious trick to the Hyuuga whom can see chakra, but he did this so all could hear his voice.

"Then this is a Hyuuga matter. Whatever the outcome no village will be implicated for any crimes. That being said I am here as an official of the Hyuuga Main Branch rather than the Tsuchikage. AND THUS, I am the Dark hand of the Hyuuga and I declare an Honor match. Fights last as long as they need to, AND NO INTERFERENCE BY ANY OTHERS."

Godric ceased his speech. He looked at Rahael, then he looked at Michiko. He did not care weather they accepted the terms or not. Hell they could go their separate ways from this point, or fight to the death as was apparent in their eyes. Either way Honor would be restored with this, and as the Dark hand of the Hyuuga, he was to punish any whom interferes...Junki and Zeki were simple, they were Iwagakure Shinobi, chasing them down and dispensing order would be simple, and they should know better. But this Zenovia...

A few types of Shunshins were performed. First the Arc to get him into position. Then an appropriate amount of pushes to position him right in front of this Venator... In a blink of an eye he was right in front of this teen girl. With eyes staring right into hers, Godric took 0.2 fraction of a second to take a sniff. His keen sent would pick up on the scent of Zenovia, should he need it in the future. If he was given a chance to speak he followed up with, "No Interference..."

Finally just as quick as Godric appeared, he would be gone. Godric used another ten shunshins and traversed 100 meters back to his horse Kuroi. Taking another .2 breaths of a second to jump back onto the horse. He turned the other way with the beast by giving a telepathic command. "Take us home Kuroi.." and the odd spectical of a man riding a horse without the outward appearance of controlling it. He road off into the distance heading back to the village.

(Exit attempt. If anyone wishes to interrupt me they can.....)
