The following is just a suggestion for something to add on, I think it gives a little extra flavor but I would like some input on if its mechanics look good or not, or how it might be more usable here. I've done my best to make it as "NFRP" as I can think of, but welcome any additional input.
If you're going to post in here , all I ask is that if you're saying "this doesn't work" or "I don't like it" please let me know why and what could be done to make it better. Constructive input only please.
This is a preliminary mockup , but I'm requesting input to see what I might have missed.
Chakra stones
Storing an active jutsu in a specially prepared jewel of sufficient value allows the user to carry contingent backup plans. This system works much like storing a jutsu in a scroll and then activating the scroll at a later time. The gems price depends upon the rank of the corresponding jutsu it can store. Each gem can only store 1 jutsu regardless of level. And a gem can only store a jutsu up to its rank (B rank gem cannot store S rank jutsu)
Anyone who can utilize chakra (to at least basic academy level) that holds an empty gem will automatically 'feel' the gems ability to hold a jutsu. Anyone who can view chakra can 'see' the ability to hold a jutsu and can see when its empty. These same users can hold a stone that contains a jutsu and will know what jutsu that is and what it can do. Users who can see chakra can determine information about what type of jutsu contained (fire release/etc) without holding the stone but cannot tell what that jutsu is. These gems cannot store taijutsu or supplementary techniques.
These gems can be purchased at any scroll shop but are always purchased empty.
Storage
To store a jutsu within a gemstone, one simply holds an empty stone , imbues an E rank chakra into the stone to activate the storing process, and then performs the jutsu immediately afterwards.
Cost
A gem of up to 1,000 ryo can store up to a D rank jutsu. For every rank higher multiply the cost of the previous by 3.
D = 1,000
C = 3,000
B = 9,000
A = 27,000
S = 81,000
Activation
Using a gem’s stored jutsu requires holding the stone and willing the jutsu’s manifestation, as if performing the technique normally(normally 1 movement) but instead of paying the cost of the jutsu the user pays an E rank amount of chakra to activate the gem. This can also mean activating the gem and throwing it letting the technique "activate' midflight though the user is still treated as the starting point for any ranges thus required. Activating a gem is subject to disruption just as performing a technique normally would be. Once used the gem disintegrates immediately.
The user must meet the limitations of release/perception/clan/etc before they can use a stone containing a jutsu of the same kind. This means if a user does not have the fire release, they cannot use a stone containing a fire jutsu.
The user must also meet the rank requirement of the technique. (ex:D rank useres cannot utilize S rank gemstones)
Drawbacks
There is a small chance that the gemstone will 'backfire' when being activated by someone who does not have the required release/clan/perception/etc. This chance is calculated at 10% per rank of the jutsu minus 2% per user rank. D rank user trying to use a D rank gem, has a 8% chance of misfire. B rank user utilizing an S rank gemstone has a 44% chance of misfire.
If a gem misfires it does not perform as expected, instead of its normal effect it explodes in a 2 meter per rank radius dealing its rank in damage to everyone within the radius, and half its damage to those further than 2 meters but less than 10 meters per rank.
If someone attempts to 'drain' the chakra from a gemstone the backfire chance is rolled norally, if the backfire did not happen the drainer gains the chakra, otherwise the gemstone backfires. Must be held or touched directly (not chakra strings/etc) to be drained.
These stones cannot be used to "teach" techniques of any kind.
I do have an idea for a few generic techniques (such as one called Deceive Chakra Stone, which gives you a slightly better chance of activation when you're handling a stone that might misfire for you) and a couple other smaller addons. But nothing major. This is the bulk of the work, and I would like some feedback on this information before progressing any further really lol.
Incase you needed a visual of how the item might look in a shop there is this.
Chakra Stone

Drawback: Various - See Chakra Stone Rules.
Description: A single semi-precious or precious gemstone of varying value. These gemstones are enlaced with a very specific chakra matrix that allows them to store a single jutsu. These stones vary in their apperance but are generally no larger than an inch in diameter per 2 rank of the jutsu.

Cost: Varies
An RP example of thier use:
Jack picks up an empty Chakra stone and closes his eyes pushing just the slightest amount of chakra into the stone (e rank). Tossing the stone into the air a half foot his hands fly through a series of handseals and he catches the stone sending a fireball jutsu into the stone for storage later on. He mutters to himself about never getting used to the feeling of paying the chakra cost of a technique and not seeing it manifest immediately.
Across from Jack sits Jill. Jill picks up a nearby chakra stone and places it between her lips softly as she charges a small amount of chakra into the stone (e rank). Her hands flying through the handseals for a Tsubasa clan genjutsu that makes you feel as if you're being pecked apart by birds and floods the chakra for that technique into the stone directly afterwards. With a smirk she releases the stone from her mouth and grabs it.
Jack and Jill both jump to their feet and race towards eachother. During the ensuing spar Jack grabs hold of his chakra stone and feeds an additional E rank chakra into it before lifting the stone into the air. The stone dissolves completely while simultaneously ejectin a massive fireball towards jill.
Jill manages to vanish in a puff of smoke and appear a few meters away from her previous location. Without delay she cocks back her arm while charging an E rank chakra into a chakra stone and flings with all her might sending it crashing down at Jack. The stone having been activated disintegrates in mid-air and Jack , who's mental faculties were no match for jill's genjutsu, drops to the ground screaming in agony as his mind screams about birds tearing at his flesh.
