Name: Tomahawk
Rank: D
IIC Length: 2 days
Post Minimum: 2
Difficulty: ?
Objective: Apprehend the suspect.
Description: A wild man has been reported running through the forests of the countryside acting like a lunatic. Some say that he id a master of Nagewaza, yet spases out of control when he gets cold. Due to the frequency in which is outbursts have taken place, it has been asked of the village Kirigakure to capture this man. You are not to kill him, just merely detain. Use rope skill, genjutsu, or some other non-lethal measure to catch this man.
Reward: x1 Axe, Hand [from Mist Treasury]

Takius would enter the country side and stop at the village gate. She had forgotten how vast the area of her search was. The young shaman could use clones of the water and earth variety to help her search but if one of them got taken down when they found the man it wouldn't help her. She could use her other unique abilities, those tied to the celestial realm. First she would asses the situation and what she knows. It is misty around the area so it is hard to see, the man is apparently a master of the throwing arts and has the weapon to work with. He reacts to the cold negatively. This is all just rumored and not confirmed, what Takius does know is that she needs to restrain him, that is sadly the easy part.

To start she would form a stream of hand signs and then touch her chest with her right hand. The shaman's eyes would glow for a second and then appear changed, somewhat reflective. 'That takes care of the mist problem. She thought that was going to be the only benefit gained from her ability yet she saw multiple auras lingering of people in the area. Only a few however fled into the woods. Going into the woods unprepared would be stupid. A marksmen is basically a sniper in that area. Takius would need to come from above to get this man.

Another string of handsigns came from Takius' hands and then she would again touch her chest. This time however, it wasn't just her adding an advantage to her body but manipulating her soul and morphing it out of her body. With this celestial wings of light blue aura came to be on her back. Taking to the skies and following the lingering footprints was a better solution to tracking this man down.

Takius lifted off into the skies above the countryside and started to search above the trees. This, usually, wouldn't work due to the natural mist in the area but combining her celestial eyes and wings she would counteract the natural problems at hand. Being a shaman not only means working with natural but also working around it when it cannot be changed. Soaring above it all felt nice, the breeze felt great in her hair and the fresh, clean air surrounding her was just what she needed. The shaman couldn't get too distracted though as she needed to focus on the many foot prints on the ground seeing where they lead.

One particular set of prints not only went into the woody area but didn't come out, like the others. This wasn't to say this was the man but it couldn't hurt to check it out. Takius would carefully maneuver her way into the woody area, just southwest of the center and the footprints became more clear in their path. She could see them all but the problem was that the prints were erratic and all over. Like someone was running around the woods like a maniac. This had to the be axe man. She would cancel out her winds but keep her eyes sharp for what was ahead.

Mission post [2/2]

As Takius had just landed and assessed the situation she knew that her presence had been made aware. She would need to make this short and sweet. A string of handsigns would make the earth in the immediate area shake a bit. The earth and stone would start to pile up in two piles, one on either side of the shaman. They would shape into clones of Takius. The clones would stand at the ready. Another string of hangsigns from the original and the air around her in the front and back would swirl into water. Using her mastery over the water element, Takius called the oxygen in the air into water and from it formed two water clones. Ideally she would have created more clones, but not knowing the enemies strength she didn't want to use too much chakra.

"Alright guys listen up. Our job here is to capture a mad man with an axe. We are not to harm him, just restrain him. If you come into direct physical contact with him, let me hit you. Use the necessary binding justu to grab him. One you get him I will take it from there. This five man cell is perfect for capture. I will be the hub." The clones all nodded in agreement and understanding. The negative to this technique was the stone clones. While they did have better capturing justu, they were slower and also, like the water clones, didn't have celestial eyes. That is why the real Takius is the hub, cause she can see through the mist with ease.

While Takius was thinking through her plan of search a swoosh sound would be heard and a hand axe would come flying down at the Takius clump. A water clone would take a direct hit and splat into a puddle. The axe would of hit the real Takius in the side but the water clone slowed it down just enough for a stone clone to step in and have the axe get stuck in its rocky side. For an axe to not only break a water clone but to keep going after that is no joke. This confirmed that the man is a master of the throwing arts.

"Keep on your toes! He has to come get his axe now..." A flash and the man appeared before the stone clone. He tried to quickly grab the axe from the clones side but as he pulled away he noticed he couldn't get the axe from the clone. The clones body was not just stone but stone infused with a earth masters chakra. 'NOW!' with this thought the other water clone that wasn't destroyed completed a series of handsigns and created a water prison around the man. This normally would of had a chance of failure but the man was standing in the puddle of the destroyed water clone. If the stone clone hadn't stepped in behind the water clone this set up wouldn't have happened. The man began thrashing inside the water prison and Takius smirked. The man wasn't inherently evil just crazed my the weather. She would dispel her earth clones and keep her one water clone around.

A series of handsigns, this time from the original Takius. She would reach her hand into the water prison and touch the man. The technique performed would allow Takius to regulate his temperature and how he reacted to the area's temperature. She would make him feel as though he was in a moderately warm room. Through this action the man slowly calmed down enough to be released from the water prison. Takius would take the axe from him as he apologized for his actions, not knowing what came over him. "You should be fine for now but I am going to have to put you in restraints and bring you in to the village." The man understood and Takius nodded to the clone handing off the axe. Takius would then use a more advance version of the water prison justu that the clones couldn't use, putting the mans hands in restraints. Holding the snake handsign, Takius would lead the group back to the village gate while the water clone guarded both of them and held the man's axe.

Controlled Soul
Rank: "D" [10]
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: User's soul can adapt souls to temperatures normal people could not handle.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: A personal or touched based technique. Works on 1 creature at a time. Duration of the Jutsu is 5 hours per Class Level. A creature protected by Controlled Soul suffers no harm from being in a hot or cold environment. It can exist comfortably in conditions between -50 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit (-45 and 60 degrees Celsius). The creature's equipment is likewise protected. Controlled Soul des not provide any protection against other environmental hazards such as smoke, lack of air, and so forth. User also gains 10 fire and cold resistance (this stacks with any they may have already).
Limit: Must be a Soulcaster.

Suiton: Oxyhydro Conversion Technique
Rank: "B"
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Converts oxygen and hydrogen in the air into water.
Special: Automatic when performing a water jutsu.
Drawback: It is easy to exceed your chakra level when creating large amounts of chakra- the amount of water needed will automatically be created when you cast a water jutsu when you are not around a water source. Therefore, if you cast a technique and you do not have enough chakra to cast both the technique and create the amount of water necessary, user is incapable of making the technique work.
Description: After spending a large amount of time utilizing water techniques, the Water Shinobi begins to understand the true composition of water. They use this to such an effect that they can create water out of nothing. This is automatic when casting a water jutsu and there is no water source. Be honorable when creating techniques. A small bottle of Water does not have enough substance to create a clone.
Limit: Must have 500 training points into techniques that focus only on Suiton no Jutsu. Once you have obtained 500 training points in Suiton techniques, they gain this technique automatically.

Mizu Bunshin no Jutsu (Water Clone)
Rank: "C" Rank [20]
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: ---
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: ---
Description: Mizu Bunshin no Jutsu is a Ninjutsu technique that utilizes water to create a Bunshin clone. Unlike a normal Bunshin, the Mizu Bunshin has the ability to interact more with the environment due to it having physical substance. This allows the clone to carry out limited attacks on its target. The range of the clone is limited; however, it can not travel very far from the original body. If the Mizu Bunshin is injured, the clone will usually revert back into its natural water state. When first learned the user is capable of having or capable of creating up to Five Clones. Each time learned the user learns this technique the number of Clones is capable of increasing by one. The maximum amount of clones is Ten for the Difficulty Class of D Rank. For each Difficulty Rank Increase the number increases by five of maximum but learning is still one per learned.
Limit: Water Release

Iwa Bunshin no Jutsu Rock Clone Technique
Rank: B, [60] C-rank for additional training.
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Using their understanding of the earth and minerals within it, the user is capable of bringing those components to the surface, compacting and shaping them into a perfect clone of the user.
Special: "Hand Seals"
Drawback: Because of the dense material they are composed of, the clones are rather slow moving when compared to the average shinobi. A source of earth is also needed. (Meaning, if you are in a ship in the middle of the ocean, you will not be able to use this.) In addition, due to the amount of chakra taken to harden and sculpt the earth, only a maximum of five clones can be created per round.
Description: After performing the proper handseals, the user’s chakra surges into the earth, compacting it tightly to form stone. This stone then surfaces and sculpts itself, becoming an exact copy of the user. When first learned, the user has the ability to create two clones. This amount will also increase naturally depending on the difficulty class of the user. The Clones are capable of using any technique affiliated to their element.
D --- 2 clones
C --- 4 clones
B --- 6 clones
A --- 8 clones
S --- 10 clones

For C-rank training, the user can also increase the amount of clones created by one, up to a maximum 20 clones.
Being composed of stone, these clones are much more stable and durable than most others. Depending on the difficult class of the user, they can take so many hits before losing their form and crumbling. Note that if the attacks these clones take are TaiJutsu, the amount is reduced by one. This means while a clone at C rank might be able to take 2 C-rank Ninjutsu, 1 C-rank Taijutsu strike will shatter it. Unless there is an attack that states otherwise, thrown weaponry and stabbing/slashing weaponry count as D-rank attacks. Bludgeoning weapons (such as hammers or clubs) are C-rank strikes. This is because it is easier to smash a stone then it is cut it. The formula is that for each rank in difficulty the user is, the clone may take two strikes of that level, or any combination, as long as the following applies: 1 S = 2 A = 4 B = 8 C = 16 D. (One difficulty class equals two of the previous) Ex. At B rank, a clone would be able to take 1 B-rank strike, and 2 C-ranks. Alternatively, it could take 2 C-ranks and 4 D-ranks. Many combinations are possible, as long as they add up.
Limit: Earth Release.

Suiton – Suirou no Jutsu (Water Prison)
Rank: "C" Rank [20]
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: A Technique that may be used in order to trap an opponent by creating a prison made of water. The water is used so that the opponent may drown within the water if the opponent does not know how to escape forth.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: ---
Description: Suirou no Jutsu is a Ninjutsu technique that utilizes water to imprison an opponent. The ninja forms the necessary hand seals which causes the water to form around the target into a spherical prison which only allows for limited movement. The ninja must keep their body touching the water prison to maintain its existence. If the contact is broken, the water falls away and their target is released. When combined with a bushin technique, the ninja can imprison their target but still allow for a clone to attack others nearby.
Limit: Water Release

Earth Mastery
Rank: B, A, S
Skill: Passive
Effect: Causes earth based techniques to develop a natural hardness, more so than what the standard ability would allow.
Special: ---
Drawback: This does not negate the natural effects of enemy attacks. Example: While a fire jutsu may not instantly destroy something created, it can still burn it.
Description: Earth Ninjutsu, typically, are based around defense. After much time and dedication, the user understands how to enhance these defensive capabilities even further, hardening their techniques to, at times, and ridiculous strengths. At B-rank, the users techniques harden to the point of iron, and are capable of withstanding a C-rank’s worth of damage before the damage begins to affect the technique. At A-rank, the techniques retain the hardness of steel, capable of withstanding a B-ranks worth of damage. At S-rank, the techniques become as hard as titanium, capable of withstanding an A-ranks worth of damage before they are affected as normal.
Limit: Earth Release. Once the user has gained 500 TP in Doton Ninjutsu, this skill is gained automatically. A rank is gained when 750 TP has been obtained, and S rank when 1000 TP has been gained.
