Searching for a purpose [epic].

[Minoru Hyuuga]

[Enter Minoru]


The male scanned the thick forest ahead of him. His nose picked up the scent of flowers, pine plus fresh grass. Spring was finally here. Minoru closed his eyes before he activated his bloodlimit. The colours around him disappeared a second later.

'I know who I am looking for. Question is - will I find him?' thought the young man. It was not just his cat that was lost. The Chuunin had lacked motivation lately. His days were less exciting than earlier.

The male did not wanted to go into the ANBU yet or apply for the Jounin exams. A part of him wanted to start a family. Sadly, there was no woman in his life. 'Maybe I should go for an adoption. Or perhaps become a chemist or alchemist' thought the black-haired guy.

It was quite ironic. His eyes could see everything ahead besides his future. There was no sight of Toshio either. The young man started to walk down the path. His senses were in alert mode.

A part of him felt uneasy. Almost as if he felt something bad had happened with his beloved cat. 'Please let him be all right! I know he's old, but still. I don't want him to die alone or afraid!' prayed Minoru.

Jutsus used:


Byakugan. Has learned the jutsu five times.
Rank: “C” Rank (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: An eye jutsu for the Hyūga clan. When activating the user's eyes dilate in the same white colour as veins bulge out of the corner of the eyes. The user can activate this technique as a “C” Rank technique taking up hand seals. 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 hand seals 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 first two times, they train it as a regular “C” Rank jutsu. When the user learns this technique the second two 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.


Telescopic eye. Range: 100 meters.
Rank: “C” Rank (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 hand seals 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.


Improved uncanny dodge.
Rank: “A” Rank.
Skill: Supplementary.
Effect: The user can no longer be flanked.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---

* 5,500 to infinite training points: There is 1 class point every 800 training points.
* Total for Minoru [7350 TP]: 10 class points.

Example: User has improved uncanny dodge with 535 training points. An opponent with 900 training points can still perform sneak attacks while flanking the user.
Example: User has improved uncanny dodge with 1,660 training points. An opponent with 2,100 training points cannot perform sneak attacks while flanking the user.
Limit: Must learn from a master of burēdono kenseijin. Must know uncanny dodge.

Creature I am looking for:


Cat Sith
Rank: ""
Type: Uncommon, Tiny, Mystical Beast
Effect: This slinky black feline has a single white spot on its chest. Its mannerisms and movements are eerily human.
Special: Preparation: ---; Duration: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: This slinky black feline has a single white spot on its chest. Its mannerisms and movements are eerily human. Cat siths are inscrutable feline creatures that inhabit highlands around towns and cities. They resemble common housecats at a glance, but cat siths are supernatural beings that have the cunning of civilized races and strange magical powers rivaling those of fey. They're capable of easily walking balanced on just their hind legs and wearing boots. They can carry one object in their front paws when walking bipedal, though they cannot manipulate such objects with the fine control required to use weapons, wands, and similar objects. Unpredictable yet sophisticated, these strange beings use their unassuming appearances to infiltrate civilized areas, either serving as spies for powerful Chakra users or entertaining their own unknowable agendas. Many cultures fear cat siths and tell myths about their otherworldly powers. Cat siths are heavier than most housecats, weighing between 25 and 30 pounds. A cat sith is nearly 2 feet long from its nose to the base of its tail. A cat sith can bite for 2 armour points of damage while claw for 2 (while dealing no luck damage). No Luck is a special ability all cat sith can perform. A creature hit by a cat sith's claws must succeed at a will save 10 + 2 per Class Level + Impeccable Will or be stricken with lucklessness. For 1d4 rounds, the affected creature cannot benefit from any Luck Bonus. Once per day they can perform what is called False Curse as a "C" Rank weaving movement. the target must be within 20 meters and ust be able to see the cat sith to be affected by the false curse (10 + 2 per Class Level + Impeccable Will). An affected creature takes a -4 to Saves, and -20 to Skill checks. Because this effect is not a true curse, the target gains a new Save to end the effect at the beginning of each day. This is a language-dependent, mind-affecting effect that can be affected by Cleanse Curse. A Cat Sith can learn Ghost Sound, Hypnotism, Rest Eternal, and Chakra Aura.

Your search yields results; many in fact. There are members of the Cait Sith Felineer Brigandry all around you. Everywhere the cat-like creatures abound, but they are cold and still and silent. You have entered an area like an open graveyard. Patches of earth scorched arid, ash outlines surrounding the remains of the dead. Something terrible has happened here. Hundreds of Cait Sith lay curled up, mottled, little more than matted fur and tiny burnt bones - they are either dead or dying. The vibrant green of the forest you can see is like a mockery of the dead lands sharing the same space, areas you can only barely sense that yet peek out from behind curvatures of another realm.

Around you a few ragged survivors call out, screeching, crying, a pattern of hissing clicks signifying some funeral dirge. Those clinging to life do so with great pain, flickering in between physicality. They are like the shadows of shadows. Partially here, partially somewhere else. Steps that should carry you barreling through their bodies meet each of your steps without resistance. If you thought them to be mere ghosts or spirits, no one could argue.

For two hundred meters in every direction this crime scene topography stretches and bends. The Cait Sith seem aware of you, and wary, though they do not approach you. Some of them look to the sky fearfully. The atmosphere chokes with mourning, and with morning light that fades final breaths into grayness.

A set of whiskers attached to a sharp feline face eyes you intensely. One of them, at least, seems to be far enough from death to explain what has happened.


"WHAT BUSINESS HAVE YOU IN THIS PLACE OF DESPAIR? YOU'RE...AIDING THE BEAST, ARE YOU NOT?!?" The lone Cait's voice resounds, ephemeral notes raised to the volume of blatant accusation, hovering beyond panic. It is covered in bruises, cuts, and most prominently - burns. It shakes a cloud of ash free of it's fur and hisses in outrage, staring again towards the sky, waiting something that might swoop down. It takes a stance as if preparing for attack, and with your clan's infamous eyes you can see that it's chakra network, flickering as it may be, is under the influence of a powerful genjutsu. All of the Cait Sith that still breathe have chakra networks that are similarly disturbed, though their injuries are all too real...


1 Living Cait Sith, found

[Minoru Hyuuga]

The scent of burned soil, dead bodies plus ash made the male nauseous. Hundreds of sith cats laid on the ground in front of him. Minoru felt his heart ache when he saw the state they were in. Especially since they appeared to barely be alive.

The young man noticed that several of the creatures were looking at him. Others were looking at the sky. The Chuunin stopped when one of the cats approached him. It appeared to be in much better shape than the others. At least physically speaking.

"WHAT BUSINESS HAVE YOU IN THIS PLACE OF DESPAIR? YOU'RE...AIDING THE BEAST, ARE YOU NOT?!?" screamed the cat. The accusatory tone in his voice made the human flinch. The black-haired guy cleared his throat. Next, he bend down a little so they were face to face.

"I am not here to aid that beast. I am looking for my pet Toshio. He is a rather old Abyssinian cat. Can you please tell me more about the beast?" inquired the young man. His byakugan could not help but to notice that something odd was going on.

'Let's see if there is any trickery going on here' decided Minoru. He did a couple of handseals. If he did detect a genjutsu, he would cancel it straight away. If not, the male would check his surroundings. What kind of beast was the sith cat talking about?

At first the feline listened intently to your response, perhaps expecting you to confess your role in the fate of it's people, but your creation of handseals was a poor choice. It is well versed in the ways of ninja magic, and though unsure of what technique you are performing, it sees such hand signs as the mark of one preparing for combat. Your aching heart has not outwardly expressed compassion of any sort, and to see such devastation and push forward with your own insensitive searching regardless has caused the Cat to assume you are a callous being, even if you are not directly responsible for it's troubles. It's attitude has turned from Unfriendly to Hostile. All the other Cat Sith will share in it's opinion of you.

It hisses loudly, it's fur raising higher than would seem possible, darting away from you in a backwards flash of steps before disappearing from sight completely. It's hiss was like a warning to the few others of it's kind who remained alive, and they too disappear with similar rapidity. Around you, the flickering grave-like copse of corpses fades even more significantly, and the normal forest grounds seem to become more colorful, more real. The scent of ash recedes, and where once you could clearly see the bodies of the wounded and dead, the images of the Cat Sith have become hazy. You can see and experience them only through some unknown fog. The sounds of the survivors wail and screech lowers it's volume. Without knowing exactly what has changed, they all seem further away now...

[Minoru Hyuuga]

Suddenly, the creature let out a loud hiss. It ran back to the others. All of the sith cats started to disappear. 'What did I do - oh. The handseals' realized the male.

He let out a small cough before inhaling some air. The scent of ash was gone. Furthermore, the images of the sith cat were covered by a mist. 'That's strange. My byakugan can usually look through mists' observed Minoru.

Everything appeared to be further away now. He decided to take a closer look at the survivors. His byakugan would let him see all cats within a 100 meter distance. The young man wondered just how injured they were. 'If I can help them, they will probably trust me more' thought the Chuunin.

He took a deep breath as he let his byakugan do its work. What exactly would he see? Furthermore, what was it that obscured his doujutsu? Was there some chakra involved? Or was this something more otherworldly?

Cat siths are inscrutable feline creatures that inhabit highlands around towns and cities. They resemble common housecats at a glance, but cat siths are supernatural beings that have the cunning of civilized races and strange magical powers rivaling those of fey. They're capable of easily walking balanced on just their hind legs and wearing boots. They can carry one object in their front paws when walking bipedal, though they cannot manipulate such objects with the fine control required to use weapons, wands, and similar objects. Unpredictable yet sophisticated, these strange beings use their unassuming appearances to infiltrate civilized areas, either serving as spies for powerful Chakra users or entertaining their own unknowable agendas. Many cultures fear cat siths and tell myths about their otherworldly powers. Cat siths are heavier than most housecats, weighing between 25 and 30 pounds. A cat sith is nearly 2 feet long from its nose to the base of its tail. A cat sith can bite for 2 armour points of damage while claw for 2 (while dealing no luck damage). No Luck is a special ability all cat sith can perform. A creature hit by a cat sith's claws must succeed at a will save 10 + 2 per Class Level + Impeccable Will or be stricken with lucklessness. For 1d4 rounds, the affected creature cannot benefit from any Luck Bonus. Once per day they can perform what is called False Curse as a "C" Rank weaving movement. the target must be within 20 meters and ust be able to see the cat sith to be affected by the false curse (10 + 2 per Class Level + Impeccable Will). An affected creature takes a -4 to Saves, and -20 to Skill checks. Because this effect is not a true curse, the target gains a new Save to end the effect at the beginning of each day. This is a language-dependent, mind-affecting effect that can be affected by Cleanse Curse. A Cat Sith can learn Ghost Sound, Hypnotism, Rest Eternal, and Chakra Aura.

GAME MASTER

The mists are an effect the likes of which your Byakugan has never encountered, though you are able to detect that chakra is moving through them. The chakra signatures of other beings, in fact, though all of them seem the approximate size of human children. Your search does not reveal any more of the Cat Sith, though even without advanced senses, you can hear the sound of something else approaching.

It bears down from the sky; like a contained explosion of chakra, massive beyond reckoning, what to your dojutsu eyes is some sort of organic building filled with energy. It is composed of planes and angles that defy easy description - some large animal, the outline of a draconic distortion, wings and a great lizard headz and walls of muscle tunneling through the air with rage.

Fear not. This is an illusion. The blood of the Hyuuga flows strong within you. Though you are not able to tell it's source, you know that it is being projected across a massive area that otherwise seems empty of interfering chakra. At least, until the illusion seems to open its mouth, spewing wave after wave of hallucinatory fire.

All around you, the sound of hissing rises. It nearly assaults your ears. The planar mists obscuring your vision thicken like soup and whirl into feline shapes that seem to number in the hundreds. Perhaps thousands. The ghostly outline of the Felineer Brigandry in all its glory returns full force; each of their chakra systems is disturbed and enrapt within the destabilizing genjutsu threatening them from the sky. To them, this creature is a reality as obvious as their fallen comrades. They screech and moan and run in a widespread panic that crashes their incorporeal bodies into and effortlessly through your own befuddled form. They are terrified.

A chakra signature appears 122 meters to your rear. Suddenly. Without seeming to have come from anywhere. It is very real, and obviously human - you can detect the bristling current of a chakra network even with your senses inundated by sensation. And then you feel...murderous intent.

[Minoru Hyuuga]

((OOC: I assume I have cancelled the genjutsu. Please let me know if I’m wrong))


‘WHAT THE-‘ thought the male when he saw the giant chakra explosion. It looked like a construction made of several planes and angles. The shape reminded him of the raiton hidora jutsu. However, Minoru could see it was an illusion of some sort. Something in his brain started to click.

Things started to make sense. His byakugan could see that this affected the felines chakra system. The monster they were talking about was this draconic illusion. Said creatures opened his mouth and blasted the animals with fire. ‘Yup, definitely a genjutsu that gives pain!’ concluded the young man.

He clasped his ears when he amped up his byakugan. The Chuunin could see everything that was within 20 meters. A mist started to block his vision while more felines appeared. All of them ran around in a panic while incorporeal bodies crashed into effortlessly into his form.

‘I need to cancel out the genjutsu somehow. However, my soulcasting jutsu can only reach so far. The caster can probably cast the genjutsu again’. He looked around to see if there was anything or anyone nearby. It did not take long for the black-haired guy to see something shady.

That ‘something’ was a chakra network that looked very human. It had a strong chakra network that made him nervous. However, the male sensed something sinister. The murderous intent that radiated from it was very much real. Minoru was not scared however thanks to his soul caster profiency.

‘I am sure that person is the one doing this jutsu. That could explain why its chakra network is bristling. However, I am not sure if the genjutsu will end if I kill that human. I need to knock them out’ decided the young man. He started to prepare a purification jutsu to ensure the sith cats were uninjured.

The black-haired guy made himself invisible moments later. This soulcaster jutsu would give him an advantage. Next was to prepare for a possible counter. The Chuunin used a nankan if the enemy was too fast. He was already preparing a jutsu if the enemy got too close.

Jutsus used:


Byakugan. Has learned the jutsu five times.
Rank: “C” Rank (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: An eye jutsu for the Hyūga clan. When activating the user's eyes dilate in the same white colour as veins bulge out of the corner of the eyes. The user can activate this technique as a “C” Rank technique taking up hand seals. 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 hand seals 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 first two times, they train it as a regular “C” Rank jutsu. When the user learns this technique the second two 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.


Telescopic eye. Range: 100 meters.

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 hand seals 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.

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 vertebrae. 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.


Enlightened byakugan.
Rank: “B” Rank.
Skill: Supplementary.
Effect: A technique that allows the user to see all around them giving them the ability to no longer become flanked.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: While the byakugan is active, the user can only be flanked by creatures of his class level or higher, unless they become flat-footed or immobilized.

Improved uncanny dodge.
Rank: “A” Rank.
Skill: Supplementary.
Effect: The user can no longer be flanked.
Special: ---

* 5,500 to infinite training points: There is 1 class point every 800 training points.
* Total for Minoru [7350 TP]: 10 class points.

If the class point is equal to the user's, the user must make a class level check (1d20 + class level) versus the save of the jutsu. The amount of information revealed depends on how long the user studies a particular area or subject.

2nd round: Number of different illusions.

This jutsu tells the user only that illusions are present. Detect illusion does not tell exactly what those illusions are. It only provides knowledge about present illusions. This gives the user an automatic +20 circumstance bonus to identify illusions with chakra lore.
Limit: Universal genjutsu technique.

Solid regard. Duration: 25 hours.
Rank: “C” Rank.
Skill: Ninjutsu.
Effect: User becomes immune to fear and intimidate effects.

Skill: Ninjutsu.
Effect: User makes themselves invisible to one target.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Target is one creature. Range is 30 meters. Duration is five rounds per class level. User's soul shrouds the perceptions of another creature. When the user performs this jutsu on a target within 30 meters, that target cannot make any observation checks to know that the user is there. If the user interacts with an object, it can notice that something or someone is around and act as it should. If the user makes an attack, it ends this effect. A will save of 10 + (2 per class level + impeccable will) will negate this jutsu.
Limit: Must be a soulcaster.


Hakkeshou: Nankan (Hands of the eight divinations: Barrier). 1/14.
Rank: “C” Rank.
Skill: Taijutsu.
Effect: Speeds up the user by two 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.


Purify jutsu.
Rank: “A” Rank.
Skill: Supplementary.
Effect: User can charge their damaging jutsus with celestial energy that leaves good creatures unharmed.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: This jutsu adds the good descriptor to a jutsu. Furthermore, if the jutsu deals damage, half of the damage is holy damage. For example a normal “C” Rank jutsu does 40 armour points of damage: 20 armour points of fire damage and 20 armour points of holy damage. Thus, creatures immune to fire still potentially take 20 armour points of damage.
Jutsu handseal/Chakra increase: 1/2 Rank.
Limit: Must learn from universal ninjutsu. Must be good aligned.


Jyuuken jutsu prepared for next round:


Buttohira no kakou jouten (Buddhist palm descending from heaven). Can do it on the ground (+ 20 extra TP).
Rank: “S” Rank.
Skill: Taijutsu.
Effect: A palm thrust within the air that releases a burst of chakra, knocking an opponent into the ground, crushing the opponent by the sheer force.
Special: ---
Drawback: When first learned user is only able to perform this technique in the air downwards as the force of gravity is needed to help with the technique. If the user trains into this technique with an extra twenty training points then the user is able to perform this technique while on the ground.
Description: The user takes the concept of hakke kusho (eight trigrams empty palm) and forms it into a new more deadly move. As a master of jyuuken, the user's control with their inner chakra has become impeccable. Their strength becomes frightening. Imagine being hit by sheer force with an attack in which keeps an opponent still, while inflicting an immense amount of crushing power. This technique was first devised to be used in the air towards the ground against opponents standing on the ground. The user must find a way to achieve a height of over fifty meters in the air. While doing so the user becomes at peace with himself placing his hands together. Then the descend happens. Concentrating the chakra along the palm of their hands the user descends down head first. The user then extends his hitting arm over his head (towards the ground) using sheer force along with his own chakra. The force itself is to push down first keeping the opponent(s) to the ground, keeping them to where the opponent(s) may not move. If the opponent is a higher specialist (taijutsu master against a taijutsu specialist) and is one class higher then the user (A to B) the opponent(s) are able to avoid the attack. As the user finishes the attack they push their hand once more to the ground while continuing to descend. This attack has a range of fifteen meters in radius. Those who are within this range will be hit by the attack.
As the attack finishes the opponent is crushed by the immense force as the attack leaves a massive imprint in the ground of the Buddhist palm. If the user takes the time to train twenty more training points into the technique, the user is able to perform the technique while standing up. While standing (not falling) the basics stay the same as the opponent(s) are unable to move. Depending on the class of the user depends on the distance this technique may be forced while standing.
* Difficulty class “S” – Fifty meters.
Those who are hit by the attack while the user is standing are crushed by the force of the attack.
Limit: Must know hakke kusho (eight trigrams empty palm). Must have mastered jyuuken – the gentle fist.

[Skulking Shinzu]

Able to pierce through the Genjutsu, albeit not fully, the faint outlines of the Felineer Brigandry flash all around you in a whorl of panicked shapes, while the false mirror images fade away into the mist. You gain confidence in your ability to track their movements. However, the same can not be said for the remnants of the Brigandry, who now seem to be completely oblivious to your presence, partly due to the genjutsu assaulting their minds, and partly due to your own invisibility technique. 122 meters away towards your rear, the sinister man remains unaffected by your invisibility Jutsu’s mere 30-meter zone of influence.

“This. Is. Not. Your. Fight.”

Warns a telepathic voice, that you see originating from the distant assailant via harmless Chakra waves. No longer able to see you, several members of the Brigandry bump into you as they focus their attentions on the illusionary beast high in the sky. Unless you move from your position, you feel yourself being bombarded by panicked Cat Sith bumping and slamming into your illusionary form every second or two. Approaching the man seems to be the best bet. However, with every 20 meters you near him, you sense a powerful supernatural force assaulting your very being, with a intensity that seems to crushingly increase with each step towards him.

Mechanic Revealed: -1 Will Power every 20 meters travelled.

[Minoru Hyuuga]

((OOC: I assume the the icy calm and solid regard will cancel out the willpower effect. Please PM me if I need to change this. Edited due to grammar errors))

A couple of cats suddenly crashed into his behind. ‘AUCH! Maybe I should not have done that invisible jutsu. At least they are less likely to attack me’ realized the male. He walked 10 meters to the left as he tried to plan.

“This. Is. Not. Your. Fight” warned a voice inside his head. This statement awakened something inside Minoru. ‘He is right. This is not my fight. It’s a fight for my animal friend and his kin!’ realized the young man.

‘I can’t do this all by myself. I need some help. Especially due to the distance. Looks like I need to create some assistants’ decided the Chuunin. He did a hand seal while he kept his eyes on the foreigner.

Three clones appeared right next to him. They activated their byakugans instantly, making their creator visible. “Two of you need to help me cleanse this area. Use your soulcasting knowledge to investigate the planes. The other one must approach that guy over there” ordered the male. His clones nodded as they started to prepare themselves.

‘I should be able to see the exact location of this @£$#¤% genjutsu by now. That will make me able to see where its origins are’ observed the black-haired guy. His byakugan would see this in no time at all. “Go a bit closer to that guy. Be careful though” warned the guy.

His kage bunshin walked 25 meters closer. Like his creator, the male shared his calmness plus the solid regard. This probably cancelled out the intimidation. He took a deep breath as he approached his enemy. Minoru kept a close eye on their surroundings in case of an attack.

“Our best bet is to gather all the cats in one place. That way, we can cleanse the area faster. Question is – how do we make them trust us?” muttered the second kage bunshin. His partner looked at the environment. The clone decided to take a closer look at the different planes near them.

His eyes turned bright orange. This jutsu would allow him to see auras of invisible creatures that were not concealed. The young man could see lingering auras where living creatures have touched solid objects too. Was there something that their byakugan could not see? Well, this jutsu should relieve it.

The second guy decided to take care of the poor cats. He decided to check just how bad of a condition they were in. The kage bunshin bent down a little to talk with the nearest feline. “Hey, can you please tell your friends to gather around me? We are here to help” assured the male in a soothing voice.

If the situation called for it, he would do one of two things. One option was to cancel out the genjutsus if the felines would gather in one spot. Option two was to use a mass genjutsu to put the nearest ones into a trance. The last one could be problematic given how strong the present illusion was. Maybe it would vanish if Minoru decided to attack the source of their pain.

Jutsus used [Minoru only]:


Kage bunshin no jutsu (Shadow clone jutsu).
Rank: “B” Rank.
Skill: Ninjutsu.
Effect: This technique creates clones of the user. However, these clones are actual copies, not illusions.
Special: “Clone seal”.
Drawback: The user's chakra is evenly distributed among every clone, giving each clone an equal fraction of the user's overall power.
Description: The clones are capable of performing techniques on their own and can even bleed, but will usually disperse after one or two solid blows. They can also disperse on their own. The clones will be created in roughly the same condition as the original. Shadow clones cannot be distinguished from the actual person even by the byakugan because the clones have the exact same amount of chakra and aren't made from any other substance. A characteristic that is unique to the shadow clone technique is that any experience the clones gain during their existence is transferred to the user once they are dispersed. This makes the technique ideal for spying, since the user can simply send a clone to spy on a target, then have the clone disperse itself without returning to pass the information back to the user. Cannot gain extra training points through training with shadow clone. User is able to make up to 5 clones at a time. Takes the amount of time to perform a “B” rank jutsu. Shadow clones may travel between different threads within the same board.
Limit: Universal ninjutsu technique. Must be Chūnin or gain village scroll.


Detect illusion. 1/5 usages.
Rank: “C” Rank.
Skill: Genjutsu.
Effect: User is able to detect any illusion within 10 meters of the user.

Special: ---

Drawback: ---

Description: Range of this technique is 20 meter cone-shaped emanation. User detects illusions performed by someone with a lower class point than the user. If the class point is equal to the user's, the user must make a class level check (1d20 + class level) versus the save of the jutsu. The amount of information revealed depends on how long the user studies a particular area or subject.

3rd round: The location of each illusion.

This jutsu tells the user only that illusions are present. Detect illusion does not tell exactly what those illusions are. It only provides knowledge about present illusions. This gives the user an automatic +20 circumstance bonus to identify illusions with chakra lore.
Limit: Universal genjutsu technique.


Hakkeshou: Nankan (Hands of the eight divinations: Barrier). 1/14.
Rank: “C” Rank.
Skill: Taijutsu.
Effect: Speeds up the user by two 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.


Cloud the mind. Duration: 2/25 rounds.
Rank: “C” Rank.
Skill: Ninjutsu.
Effect: User makes themselves invisible to one target.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Target is one creature. Range is 30 meters. Duration is five rounds per class level. User's soul shrouds the perceptions of another creature. When the user performs this jutsu on a target within 30 meters, that target cannot make any observation checks to know that the user is there. If the user interacts with an object, it can notice that something or someone is around and act as it should. If the user makes an attack, it ends this effect. A will save of 10 + (2 per class level + impeccable will) will negate this jutsu.
Limit: Must be a soulcaster.




Jutsus used [kage bunshin 3]:


Eyes of the planes. Duration: 25 hours.
Rank: “D” Rank.
Skill: Ninjutsu.
Effect: Gain low-light vision and see invisible.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: A personal based technique. Works at one creature at a time. Duration of the jutsu is 5 hours per class level. User stumble on a way to change their soul's eyes so they are more like the eyes of planar creatures. Since they are a reflection of their own soul, their eyes change as well.

How Minoru's eyes look like during this jutsu: Here.

User also sees lingering auras where living creatures have touched solid objects much like a footprint. These lingering auras only last for two rounds and fade away.

Jutsus prepared for next round :


Minoru and kage bunshin 1:


Purify jutsu.
Rank: “A” Rank.
Skill: Supplementary.
Effect: User can charge their damaging jutsus with celestial energy that leaves good creatures unharmed.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: This jutsu adds the good descriptor to a jutsu. Furthermore, if the jutsu deals damage, half of the damage is holy damage. For example a normal “C” Rank jutsu does 40 armour points of damage: 20 armour points of fire damage and 20 armour points of holy damage. Thus, creatures immune to fire still potentially take 20 armour points of damage.
Jutsu handseal/Chakra increase: 1/2 Rank.
Limit: Must learn from universal ninjutsu. Must be good aligned.


Buttohira no kakou jouten (Buddhist palm descending from heaven). Can do it on the ground (+ 20 extra TP).
Rank: “S” Rank.
Skill: Taijutsu.
Effect: A palm thrust within the air that releases a burst of chakra, knocking an opponent into the ground, crushing the opponent by the sheer force.
Special: ---
Drawback: When first learned user is only able to perform this technique in the air downwards as the force of gravity is needed to help with the technique. If the user trains into this technique with an extra twenty training points then the user is able to perform this technique while on the ground.
Description: The user takes the concept of hakke kusho (eight trigrams empty palm) and forms it into a new more deadly move. As a master of jyuuken, the user's control with their inner chakra has become impeccable. Their strength becomes frightening. Imagine being hit by sheer force with an attack in which keeps an opponent still, while inflicting an immense amount of crushing power. This technique was first devised to be used in the air towards the ground against opponents standing on the ground. The user must find a way to achieve a height of over fifty meters in the air. While doing so the user becomes at peace with himself placing his hands together. Then the descend happens. Concentrating the chakra along the palm of their hands the user descends down head first. The user then extends his hitting arm over his head (towards the ground) using sheer force along with his own chakra. The force itself is to push down first keeping the opponent(s) to the ground, keeping them to where the opponent(s) may not move. If the opponent is a higher specialist (taijutsu master against a taijutsu specialist) and is one class higher then the user (A to B) the opponent(s) are able to avoid the attack. As the user finishes the attack they push their hand once more to the ground while continuing to descend. This attack has a range of fifteen meters in radius. Those who are within this range will be hit by the attack.
As the attack finishes the opponent is crushed by the immense force as the attack leaves a massive imprint in the ground of the Buddhist palm. If the user takes the time to train twenty more training points into the technique, the user is able to perform the technique while standing up. While standing (not falling) the basics stay the same as the opponent(s) are unable to move. Depending on the class of the user depends on the distance this technique may be forced while standing.
* Difficulty class “S” – Fifty meters.
Those who are hit by the attack while the user is standing are crushed by the force of the attack.
Limit: Must know hakke kusho (eight trigrams empty palm). Must have mastered jyuuken – the gentle fist.



Kage bunshin 3:


Option 1:

Hypnotist: Fascinating voice.
Rank: “A” Rank.
Skill: Genjutsu.
Effect: User gains the ability to fascinate all creatures that are within a 10 meter cone emanating from the hypnotist's mouth.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: The creature must be able to hear the hypnotist in order to be affected by their voice (deafened creatures are unaffected). Mindless creatures are also unaffected. In order to fascinate the targeted creatures the creature must fail their save (17 + illusion focus (pattern)) or become fascinated. If a creature fails their save, the hypnotist has fascinated the creature in question for 1 round plus however many rounds the hypnotist wishes to maintain the fascination. Note that if at any time the hypnotist loses voice contact with the creature being affected, then the fascination is broken. Any potential threat (such as an armed party member moving behind the fascinated creature) allows the creature another save at -2 to the save. Any obvious threat, such as performing a jutsu, drawing a sword, or aiming an arrow, automatically breaks the fascination, as does shaking or slapping the creature. A fascinated creature's ally may shake it free of the jutsu. Using hypnotist: fascinating voice takes the amount of time to perform an “A” rank jutsu without the handseals.
Limit: Must know the pattern perception. Automatically gained once mastered pattern perception.


Option 2:

Cleanse the area.
Rank: “S” Rank.
Skill: Ninjutsu.
Effect: Burst of energy clears the area of bad effects.
Special: ---
Drawback: This jutsu stuns the soulcaster for three rounds whenever it is performed.
Description: Target are creatures centered around the user. Range is 25 meters radius burst. Duration is instantaneous. User strips the area of everything that hinders a soul. From the user's body a soft pure white light radiates. Energy flies from the user's body in a 25 meter radius burst. All of the following adverse conditions in the burst end immediately. Binding, entangle, imprisonment, maze, sleep, stunning, temporal stasis, paralysis, solid fog, slow, web, grapple, dimensional anchor, dimensional lock, stun and all mind-affection enchantments. Gease/quest jutsus is only removed if the soulcaster's class level is equal or higher than the performer's class level of that jutsu.
Limit: Must be a soulcaster.

Creature we are looking for:


Cat Sith
Rank: ""
Type: Uncommon, Tiny, Mystical Beast
Effect: This slinky black feline has a single white spot on its chest. Its mannerisms and movements are eerily human.
Special: Preparation: ---; Duration: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: This slinky black feline has a single white spot on its chest. Its mannerisms and movements are eerily human. Cat siths are inscrutable feline creatures that inhabit highlands around towns and cities. They resemble common housecats at a glance, but cat siths are supernatural beings that have the cunning of civilized races and strange magical powers rivaling those of fey. They're capable of easily walking balanced on just their hind legs and wearing boots. They can carry one object in their front paws when walking bipedal, though they cannot manipulate such objects with the fine control required to use weapons, wands, and similar objects. Unpredictable yet sophisticated, these strange beings use their unassuming appearances to infiltrate civilized areas, either serving as spies for powerful Chakra users or entertaining their own unknowable agendas. Many cultures fear cat siths and tell myths about their otherworldly powers. Cat siths are heavier than most housecats, weighing between 25 and 30 pounds. A cat sith is nearly 2 feet long from its nose to the base of its tail. A cat sith can bite for 2 armour points of damage while claw for 2 (while dealing no luck damage). No Luck is a special ability all cat sith can perform. A creature hit by a cat sith's claws must succeed at a will save 10 + 2 per Class Level + Impeccable Will or be stricken with lucklessness. For 1d4 rounds, the affected creature cannot benefit from any Luck Bonus. Once per day they can perform what is called False Curse as a "C" Rank weaving movement. the target must be within 20 meters and ust be able to see the cat sith to be affected by the false curse (10 + 2 per Class Level + Impeccable Will). An affected creature takes a -4 to Saves, and -20 to Skill checks. Because this effect is not a true curse, the target gains a new Save to end the effect at the beginning of each day. This is a language-dependent, mind-affecting effect that can be affected by Cleanse Curse. A Cat Sith can learn Ghost Sound, Hypnotism, Rest Eternal, and Chakra Aura.

[Skulking Shinzu]

You are unable to see the sinister figure’s expression from this distance. However, as you successfully move 10 meters to the left, you somehow feel and sense the figure’s lips curving into an ominous grin. The attacker clearly thought that you had fallen for the provocations and was now attempting to flee from the forest. However, this was not the case - as evident from the conjuring of three clones. At that very moment, you feel a shiver crawl down your spine as you somehow feel the figure’s features twisting and contorting into blind rage. Your heart accelerates at this knowledge, but you do not yield. You seem able to resist the figure’s GenJutsu, albeit not able to nullify its influence over you completely.

Moments later, your combined observations yield important knowledge. The ripples of faint Chakra in the air all seem to be originated from the sinister figure far off into the distance. It becomes clear that he is the source of the GenJutsu. However, further observation reveals that in a surprise twist, the figure itself, is also GenJutsu. An illusion, capable of casting illusions. Focusing intently, you notice feint ripples dancing off the figure. The original caster is near. Somewhere towards your right. However, you are unable to accurately assess the caster’s exact location quite yet. It is not beyond your means. You just require a few moments. A few, precious moments…

Attention pulled upwards, you note with a tinge of very real fear in your heart, that the skies have darkened, with a tinge of redden clouds to meet your now orange iris. As if to stop you from interacting with the creatures around you, the heavens suddenly open up to rain down a shower of countless basketball sized meteors. Raining down all at once over a fifty meter radius in perfect unison, it becomes impossible to identify how much power each fiery and earthen projectile carries. However, you easily determine one key fact as your clone’s search for the Cat Sith and caster responsible for the attack. These are no mere illusions. Each projectile, seems to carry very real Chakra and mass.

[Minoru Hyuuga]

((OOC: I believe the range for kamisorikaiten is 15 meters. Edited due to grammar errors))

The guy felt a shiver crawl down his spine. ‘Why is he angry when I move? Wait a minute. Is this for real!?’ thought the male when he saw the true nature of his opponent. He appeared to be an illusion as well!

Meanwhile, the two kage bunshins let out a gasp. Their chakra fuelled eyes just spotted the meteors. Minoru let out an annoyed sigh. This enemy was apparently not happy with him. So much for doing the right thing.

“Shoot...two of you must use a purified kamisorikaiten on the meteors. The third one will use the soulcaster area cleanse on the cats. I will crush our enemy” muttered the young man. His brows knitted in anger and concentration. Once he spotted his enemy, he would prepare the buttohira.

Meanwhile, his three kage bunshins wasted no time. The nankan would speed them up quite a bit. The trio leaped 10 meters into the air immediately. They positioned themselves 15 meters apart from each other. Moments later, the trio would spin around in the air like three spinning tops.

The kamisorikaiten was strong enough to slice through the stones. Furthermore, the kamisorikaiten would blow the debris up to fifteen meters backwards. Afterwards, the third kage bunshin would land where there was a large density of cats. The first kage bunshin would stand between him and his creator. There was 10 meters between each of them.

The last kage bunshin stood 10 meters to the right of the third kage bunshin. Both kage bunshins would look out for their friend. “HEY! OVER HERE KITTIES!” screamed the clone while he did the final steps. Next, he cleansed the area.

His jutsu would cover a 25 meter large area. Every single cat would be freed from the vile genjutsu. This came with a hefty price however. The guy would be unable to move for some time. However, the other three were still mobile.

“Take a deep breath buddy. We're here to help you” assured the kage bunshin. This was not just a show for the cats. The Chuunin truly cared for those around him. Even if they were unknown felines.

The user can activate this technique as a “C” Rank technique taking up hand seals. 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 hand seals 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.

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 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.

Jutsus used [Minoru only]:


Kage bunshin no jutsu (Shadow clone jutsu).
Rank: “B” Rank.
Skill: Ninjutsu.
Effect: This technique creates clones of the user. However, these clones are actual copies, not illusions.
Special: “Clone seal”.
Drawback: The user's chakra is evenly distributed among every clone, giving each clone an equal fraction of the user's overall power.
Description: The clones are capable of performing techniques on their own and can even bleed, but will usually disperse after one or two solid blows. They can also disperse on their own. The clones will be created in roughly the same condition as the original. Shadow clones cannot be distinguished from the actual person even by the byakugan because the clones have the exact same amount of chakra and aren't made from any other substance. A characteristic that is unique to the shadow clone technique is that any experience the clones gain during their existence is transferred to the user once they are dispersed. This makes the technique ideal for spying, since the user can simply send a clone to spy on a target, then have the clone disperse itself without returning to pass the information back to the user. Cannot gain extra training points through training with shadow clone. User is able to make up to 5 clones at a time. Takes the amount of time to perform a “B” rank jutsu.

The amount of information revealed depends on how long the user studies a particular area or subject.

3rd round: The location of each illusion.

This jutsu tells the user only that illusions are present. Detect illusion does not tell exactly what those illusions are. It only provides knowledge about present illusions. This gives the user an automatic +20 circumstance bonus to identify illusions with chakra lore.
Limit: Universal genjutsu technique.


Hakkeshou: Nankan (Hands of the eight divinations: Barrier). 2/14.
Rank: “C” Rank.
Skill: Taijutsu.
Effect: Speeds up the user by two 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.

Jutsus used [kage bunshin 3]:


Eyes of the planes. Duration: 25 hours.
Rank: “D” Rank.
Skill: Ninjutsu.
Effect: Gain low-light vision and see invisible.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: A personal based technique. Works at one creature at a time. Duration of the jutsu is 5 hours per class level. User stumble on a way to change their soul's eyes so they are more like the eyes of planar creatures. Since they are a reflection of their own soul, their eyes change as well.

How Minoru's eyes look like during this jutsu: Here.

User gains the ability of low-light vision and can see auras of invisible creatures (issuing invisible creatures only a 20% concealment). User also sees lingering auras where living creatures have touched solid objects much like a footprint. These lingering auras only last for two rounds and fade away.
Limit: Must be a soulcaster.


Hakkeshou: Nankan (Hands of the eight divinations: Barrier). 1/14.
Rank: “C” Rank.
Skill: Taijutsu.
Effect: Speeds up the user by two 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.


Hakke: Kamisorikaiten (Eight trigams: Razor divination whirl).
Rank: “A” Rank.
Skill: Taijutsu.
Effect: The user performs the daikaiten, amplifying it into an offensive and defense technique combination by running razor-sharp strands of chakra on the outer ends of the technique.
Special: ---
Drawback: The strands are small, and are only capable of striking the opponent if the opponent is caught within the initial release of the daikaiten or attempts to run straight into it.
Description: Many people of the Hyuuga clan have often considered their kaiten technique to be the most powerful and important technique within the entire Hyuuga branch. This ability works to amplify that effect, turning a technique normally meant to be used in a defensive manner into an offensive technique. As the user begins their rotation, they will focus upon the edges of the kaiten, creating a multitude of strands that ride upon the edges of the kaiten. These strands, which cover the entire surface of the kaiten, are razor sharp and are capable of cutting through stone. The range of the kaiten does not increase, meaning that in order to attack an opponent, they must get caught within the expansion of the chakra.
Limit: Must have daiharichakra. Must have daikaiten. Must be a member of the Hyuuga main family and must learn in the Hyuuga mansion dojo.


Cleanse the area.

Gease/quest jutsus is only removed if the soulcaster's class level is equal or higher than the performer's class level of that jutsu.
Limit: Must be a soulcaster.

Effect: A powerful variation that allows the user to shunshin no jutsu up into the air, or down back to the ground.

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.

Rank: “A” Rank.
Skill: Supplementary.
Effect: User can charge their damaging jutsus with celestial energy that leaves good creatures unharmed.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: This jutsu adds the good descriptor to a jutsu. Furthermore, if the jutsu deals damage, half of the damage is holy damage. For example a normal “C” Rank jutsu does 40 armour points of damage: 20 armour points of fire damage and 20 armour points of holy damage. Thus, creatures immune to fire still potentially take 20 armour points of damage.
Jutsu handseal/Chakra increase: 1/2 Rank.

Hakke: Kamisorikaiten (Eight trigams: Razor divination whirl).

Jutsu prepared next round [Minoru]:


Buttohira no kakou jouten (Buddhist palm descending from heaven). Can do it on the ground (+ 20 extra TP).
Rank: “S” Rank.
Skill: Taijutsu.
Effect: A palm thrust within the air that releases a burst of chakra, knocking an opponent into the ground, crushing the opponent by the sheer force.
Special: ---
Drawback: When first learned user is only able to perform this technique in the air downwards as the force of gravity is needed to help with the technique. If the user trains into this technique with an extra twenty training points then the user is able to perform this technique while on the ground.
Description: The user takes the concept of hakke kusho (eight trigrams empty palm) and forms it into a new more deadly move. As a master of jyuuken, the user's control with their inner chakra has become impeccable. Their strength becomes frightening. Imagine being hit by sheer force with an attack in which keeps an opponent still, while inflicting an immense amount of crushing power. This technique was first devised to be used in the air towards the ground against opponents standing on the ground. The user must find a way to achieve a height of over fifty meters in the air. While doing so the user becomes at peace with himself placing his hands together. Then the descend happens. Concentrating the chakra along the palm of their hands the user descends down head first. The user then extends his hitting arm over his head (towards the ground) using sheer force along with his own chakra. The force itself is to push down first keeping the opponent(s) to the ground, keeping them to where the opponent(s) may not move. If the opponent is a higher specialist (taijutsu master against a taijutsu specialist) and is one class higher then the user (A to B) the opponent(s) are able to avoid the attack. As the user finishes the attack they push their hand once more to the ground while continuing to descend. This attack has a range of fifteen meters in radius. Those who are within this range will be hit by the attack.
As the attack finishes the opponent is crushed by the immense force as the attack leaves a massive imprint in the ground of the Buddhist palm. If the user takes the time to train twenty more training points into the technique, the user is able to perform the technique while standing up. While standing (not falling) the basics stay the same as the opponent(s) are unable to move. Depending on the class of the user depends on the distance this technique may be forced while standing.
* Difficulty class “S” – Fifty meters.
Those who are hit by the attack while the user is standing are crushed by the force of the attack.
Limit: Must know hakke kusho (eight trigrams empty palm). Must have mastered jyuuken – the gentle fist.

Creature we are looking for:


Cat Sith
Rank: ""
Type: Uncommon, Tiny, Mystical Beast
Effect: This slinky black feline has a single white spot on its chest. Its mannerisms and movements are eerily human.
Special: Preparation: ---; Duration: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: This slinky black feline has a single white spot on its chest. Its mannerisms and movements are eerily human. Cat siths are inscrutable feline creatures that inhabit highlands around towns and cities. They resemble common housecats at a glance, but cat siths are supernatural beings that have the cunning of civilized races and strange magical powers rivaling those of fey. They're capable of easily walking balanced on just their hind legs and wearing boots. They can carry one object in their front paws when walking bipedal, though they cannot manipulate such objects with the fine control required to use weapons, wands, and similar objects. Unpredictable yet sophisticated, these strange beings use their unassuming appearances to infiltrate civilized areas, either serving as spies for powerful Chakra users or entertaining their own unknowable agendas. Many cultures fear cat siths and tell myths about their otherworldly powers. Cat siths are heavier than most housecats, weighing between 25 and 30 pounds. A cat sith is nearly 2 feet long from its nose to the base of its tail. A cat sith can bite for 2 armour points of damage while claw for 2 (while dealing no luck damage). No Luck is a special ability all cat sith can perform. A creature hit by a cat sith's claws must succeed at a will save 10 + 2 per Class Level + Impeccable Will or be stricken with lucklessness. For 1d4 rounds, the affected creature cannot benefit from any Luck Bonus. Once per day they can perform what is called False Curse as a "C" Rank weaving movement. the target must be within 20 meters and ust be able to see the cat sith to be affected by the false curse (10 + 2 per Class Level + Impeccable Will). An affected creature takes a -4 to Saves, and -20 to Skill checks. Because this effect is not a true curse, the target gains a new Save to end the effect at the beginning of each day. This is a language-dependent, mind-affecting effect that can be affected by Cleanse Curse. A Cat Sith can learn Ghost Sound, Hypnotism, Rest Eternal, and Chakra Aura.

[Skulking Shinzu]

The tribe had no reason to trust a human. After all, who was to say that you weren’t the tormentor inflicting them with the living nightmares that twisted their perception of reality? “Tch.” You hear a voice curse in your mind as the Cat Sith abandon their instincts and huddle around your third clone. Somehow, their senses had been returned to them. However, only half seem able to move. The other remaining half were dragged to your clone by those able to muster enough strength to move. Untrusting towards you, you see hesitance in the fearful eyes of the feline tribe. However, compared to death by meteorite, the tribe seem willing to trust a human this one time.

A series of harsh crashing sounds then drown out everything as the balls of flame rain down from the sky to tear through tree trunks to ignite the surrounding forest. Your combined Kaiten’s easily overpower the individual projectiles and leave the area around your clones safe. Interestingly, you note that not many balls of flame had crashed down onto you. Instead, they seemed to fall more densely around you. As the foliage around you blackens and the flames rise, you notice that you are now trapped within a ring of fire spanning a 20-meter radius around you and the tribe. “You have my thanks. Two birds… Well, several feline scum, with one stone. Know what I’m saying?”

The mental voice chuckles sinisterly as the sky above opens up to reveal a second sun directly above you. Another ball of flame. A singular blame of flame so dense, that you can feel the heat from it radiating and scorching everything below. Hovering high into the air, you sense you have three seconds before it crashes down and swallows the entire group below in a fiery inferno of dense fire Chakra. While the technique is being prepared, your Byakugan captures something 60 meters to the right. You seem unable to spot the caster. However, your keen senses allow you to spot faint ripples of Chakra pouring into the Jutsu from a chunk of foliage in that general area to the right. You realise that somehow, the sinister castor had been masking the release of his Jutsu. However, as if a testament to the raw power behind this one technique, he is unable to fully mask his position while preparing this grand attack.

[Minoru Hyuuga]

((OOC: Small edit for equipment))


Kage bunshin stun duration: 1/3.

“Start helping the felines! Gather them around our stunned friend. Prepare a water circle plus a bubble dome. Those flames can become dangerous” ordered the male. The two others began carrying the felines that would allow them to do so.

”Tsch” snorted a voice. The two kage bunshin moved to step two once they heard the voice. Kage bunshin number one created a water circle. Its 35 meters range would ensure the fire did not reach them. Several of the trees were ablaze by now.

Minoru put on a gas mask. Meanwhile, the kage bunshins scanned the area. “SHOOT! LOOK UP!” shouted the kage bunshin. The quartet would look towards the skies.

The sight of the meteor made them feel nervous. “You have my thanks. Two birds…well, several feline scum, with one stone. Know what I’m saying?” mocked the voice. The Chuunin checked the area immediately.

‘YES!’ thought the male when he saw faint ripples of chakra 60 meters to the right. The ripples came from a chunk of foliage in that general area to the right. “Release the bubble dome when the meteor is close. Have a second one on standby just in case” ordered the black-haired guy. His kage bunshins nodded.

‘I just need to pinpoint him. If I can find his location, I should be able to use a long-range jutsu. I could electrify the water wall as well if he comes close’ thought the young man. He ate his military ration pill while he walked closer to his opponent. They would now be 50 meters apart rather than 60.

His kage bunshins were studying the meteor. Once it came close enough, the two kage bunshins would stand next to the third kage bunshin. The second clone make a bubble dome. By now, the sith cats should be within a six-meter radius of the third kage bunshin. The dome would hopefully absorb the power of the meteor.

That was if the water ring had not slowed it down. Its height was 15 meters tall. Kage bunshin number one would back up the second kage bunshin if required. The second kage bunshin was prepared to help out Minoru if required. The third clone would keep an eye out for the chakra ripples. Since he could not move, it was all he could do for now.

Jutsus used [Minoru and all clones]:


Byakugan. Has learned the jutsu five times.
Rank: “C” Rank (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: An eye jutsu for the Hyūga clan. When activating the user's eyes dilate in the same white colour as veins bulge out of the corner of the eyes. The user can activate this technique as a “C” Rank technique taking up hand seals. 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 hand seals 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 first two times, they train it as a regular “C” Rank jutsu. When the user learns this technique the second two 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.

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 hand seals 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%.

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 vertebrae. 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.

Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: While the byakugan is active, the user can only be flanked by creatures of his class level or higher, unless they become flat-footed or immobilized.

Limit: Must be in the Hyūga clan. Must know telescopic eye.


Improved uncanny dodge.
Rank: “A” Rank.
Skill: Supplementary.
Effect: The user can no longer be flanked.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---

Rank: “A” Rank.
Skill: Supplementary.
Effect: User can charge their damaging jutsus with celestial energy that leaves good creatures unharmed.

Thus, creatures immune to fire still potentially take 20 armour points of damage.
Jutsu handseal/Chakra increase: 1/2 Rank.
Limit: Must learn from universal ninjutsu. Must be good aligned.



Jutsus used [Minoru only]:


Kage bunshin no jutsu (Shadow clone jutsu).
Rank: “B” Rank.
Skill: Ninjutsu.
Effect: This technique creates clones of the user. However, these clones are actual copies, not illusions.
Special: “Clone seal”.
Drawback: The user's chakra is evenly distributed among every clone, giving each clone an equal fraction of the user's overall power.
Description: The clones are capable of performing techniques on their own and can even bleed, but will usually disperse after one or two solid blows. They can also disperse on their own. The clones will be created in roughly the same condition as the original. Shadow clones cannot be distinguished from the actual person even by the byakugan because the clones have the exact same amount of chakra and aren't made from any other substance. A characteristic that is unique to the shadow clone technique is that any experience the clones gain during their existence is transferred to the user once they are dispersed. This makes the technique ideal for spying, since the user can simply send a clone to spy on a target, then have the clone disperse itself without returning to pass the information back to the user. Cannot gain extra training points through training with shadow clone. User is able to make up to 5 clones at a time. Takes the amount of time to perform a “B” rank jutsu. Shadow clones may travel between different threads within the same board.
Limit: Universal ninjutsu technique. Must be Chūnin or gain village scroll.


Detect illusion. 1/5 usages.
Rank: “C” Rank.
Skill: Genjutsu.
Effect: User is able to detect any illusion within 10 meters of the user.

Special: ---

Drawback: ---

Description: Range of this technique is 20 meter cone-shaped emanation. User detects illusions performed by someone with a lower class point than the user. If the class point is equal to the user's, the user must make a class level check (1d20 + class level) versus the save of the jutsu. The amount of information revealed depends on how long the user studies a particular area or subject.

3rd round: The location of each illusion.

This jutsu tells the user only that illusions are present. Detect illusion does not tell exactly what those illusions are. It only provides knowledge about present illusions. This gives the user an automatic +20 circumstance bonus to identify illusions with chakra lore.
Limit: Universal genjutsu technique.


Hakkeshou: Nankan (Hands of the eight divinations: Barrier). 2/14.
Rank: “C” Rank.
Skill: Taijutsu.
Effect: Speeds up the user by two 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.


Cloud the mind. Duration: 4/25 rounds.
Rank: “C” Rank.
Skill: Ninjutsu.
Effect: User makes themselves invisible to one target.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Target is one creature. Range is 30 meters. Duration is five rounds per class level. User's soul shrouds the perceptions of another creature. When the user performs this jutsu on a target within 30 meters, that target cannot make any observation checks to know that the user is there. If the user interacts with an object, it can notice that something or someone is around and act as it should. If the user makes an attack, it ends this effect. A will save of 10 + (2 per class level + impeccable will) will negate this jutsu.
Limit: Must be a soulcaster.



Jutsus used [kage bunshin 3]:


Eyes of the planes. Duration: 25 hours.
Rank: “D” Rank.
Skill: Ninjutsu.
Effect: Gain low-light vision and see invisible.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: A personal based technique. Works at one creature at a time. Duration of the jutsu is 5 hours per class level. User stumble on a way to change their soul's eyes so they are more like the eyes of planar creatures. Since they are a reflection of their own soul, their eyes change as well.

How Minoru's eyes look like during this jutsu: Here.

User gains the ability of low-light vision and can see auras of invisible creatures (issuing invisible creatures only a 20% concealment). User also sees lingering auras where living creatures have touched solid objects much like a footprint. These lingering auras only last for two rounds and fade away.
Limit: Must be a soulcaster.


Hakkeshou: Nankan (Hands of the eight divinations: Barrier). 1/14.
Rank: “C” Rank.
Skill: Taijutsu.
Effect: Speeds up the user by two 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.


Hakke: Kamisorikaiten (Eight trigams: Razor divination whirl).
Rank: “A” Rank.
Skill: Taijutsu.
Effect: The user performs the daikaiten, amplifying it into an offensive and defense technique combination by running razor-sharp strands of chakra on the outer ends of the technique.
Special: ---
Drawback: The strands are small, and are only capable of striking the opponent if the opponent is caught within the initial release of the daikaiten or attempts to run straight into it.
Description: Many people of the Hyuuga clan have often considered their kaiten technique to be the most powerful and important technique within the entire Hyuuga branch. This ability works to amplify that effect, turning a technique normally meant to be used in a defensive manner into an offensive technique. As the user begins their rotation, they will focus upon the edges of the kaiten, creating a multitude of strands that ride upon the edges of the kaiten. These strands, which cover the entire surface of the kaiten, are razor sharp and are capable of cutting through stone. The range of the kaiten does not increase, meaning that in order to attack an opponent, they must get caught within the expansion of the chakra.
Limit: Must have daiharichakra. Must have daikaiten. Must be a member of the Hyuuga main family and must learn in the Hyuuga mansion dojo.

Water creation jutsu.
Rank: “A” Rank.
Skill: Supplementary.
Effect: User can perform water applicable jutsus without the need of snow or ice nearby.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Specific to water applicable jutsus. Some water applicable jutsus require a small source to colossal source of water nearby. This jutsu negates this need. By expending extra amount of handseals and chakra, the user can perform said jutsus without the needed requirement. Water creation jutsu cannot be reduced by efficient jutsu enhancement technique, easy jutsu enhancement technique and similar jutsus. Jutsu handseal/chakra increase: 1 rank.
Limit: Must learn from universal ninjutsu.

Rank: “B” Rank
Skill: Ninjutsu.
Effect: User creates a dome made out of a giant bubble to protect themselves from oncoming attacks.
Special: “Handseals”.
Drawback: ---
Description: Area of effect of this technique is 6 meter radius centered on the user. Duration of this technique is until discharged. This technique requires a medium source of water nearby. User creates a protective dome of bubble with a 6 meter radius burst centered on the user. The dome will protect the user with a 5 hardness and 60 armour points per class level. Upon activation, the dome is invulnerable for 1 second per class level (maximum 3 seconds). Incoming damage that is absorbed during the invulnerability period is converted into armour points and added to the dome's health. Multiple bubble domes may be performed, however a maximum of 4 separate bubble domes can be performed at any given time. Performing bubble dome after reaching the maximum will remove the oldest dome. Performing bubble dome while inside an existing bubble dome will remove the older dome and combine the total remaining armour points value of both domes for the newer one. The invulnerability is reactivated for each performing. User may destroy the bubble dome.
Limit: Must know water release.

Effect is a sheet of water up to 30 meters long per class level or a ring of water with a radius of up to 7 meters radius per class level. Either form is 15 meters high. This technique requires a huge source of water nearby. User creates an opaque, upright wall of water that blocks vision. Creatures trying to pass through the wall take 12 armour points bludgeoning damage + 5 armour points per class level. Additionally, they are pushed back 2 meters. The wall deals double damage to creatures with the fire subtype. If the user evokes the wall so that it appears where creatures are, each takes damage as if trying to pass through the wall. If any 2 meter length of wall takes 60 armour points or more of chakra fire damage in a round, that length evaporates.
Limit: Must know water release.

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.


Purify jutsu.
Rank: “A” Rank.
Skill: Supplementary.
Effect: User can charge their damaging jutsus with celestial energy that leaves good creatures unharmed.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: This jutsu adds the good descriptor to a jutsu. Furthermore, if the jutsu deals damage, half of the damage is holy damage. For example a normal “C” Rank jutsu does 40 armour points of damage: 20 armour points of fire damage and 20 armour points of holy damage. Thus, creatures immune to fire still potentially take 20 armour points of damage.

Jutsu prepared next round [Minoru]:


Buttohira no kakou jouten (Buddhist palm descending from heaven). Can do it on the ground (+ 20 extra TP).
Rank: “S” Rank.
Skill: Taijutsu.
Effect: A palm thrust within the air that releases a burst of chakra, knocking an opponent into the ground, crushing the opponent by the sheer force.
Special: ---
Drawback: When first learned user is only able to perform this technique in the air downwards as the force of gravity is needed to help with the technique. If the user trains into this technique with an extra twenty training points then the user is able to perform this technique while on the ground.
Description: The user takes the concept of hakke kusho (eight trigrams empty palm) and forms it into a new more deadly move. As a master of jyuuken, the user's control with their inner chakra has become impeccable. Their strength becomes frightening. Imagine being hit by sheer force with an attack in which keeps an opponent still, while inflicting an immense amount of crushing power. This technique was first devised to be used in the air towards the ground against opponents standing on the ground. The user must find a way to achieve a height of over fifty meters in the air. While doing so the user becomes at peace with himself placing his hands together. Then the descend happens. Concentrating the chakra along the palm of their hands the user descends down head first. The user then extends his hitting arm over his head (towards the ground) using sheer force along with his own chakra. The force itself is to push down first keeping the opponent(s) to the ground, keeping them to where the opponent(s) may not move. If the opponent is a higher specialist (taijutsu master against a taijutsu specialist) and is one class higher then the user (A to B) the opponent(s) are able to avoid the attack. As the user finishes the attack they push their hand once more to the ground while continuing to descend. This attack has a range of fifteen meters in radius. Those who are within this range will be hit by the attack.
As the attack finishes the opponent is crushed by the immense force as the attack leaves a massive imprint in the ground of the Buddhist palm. If the user takes the time to train twenty more training points into the technique, the user is able to perform the technique while standing up. While standing (not falling) the basics stay the same as the opponent(s) are unable to move. Depending on the class of the user depends on the distance this technique may be forced while standing.
* Difficulty class “S” – Fifty meters.
Those who are hit by the attack while the user is standing are crushed by the force of the attack.
Limit: Must know hakke kusho (eight trigrams empty palm). Must have mastered jyuuken – the gentle fist.

Boil the 2 standard-shots of corpse skink meat through a filtration and apply all ingredients with the mulungu resin using a ceration. Allow the mulungu resin to harden.

Creature we are looking for:


Cat Sith
Rank: ""
Type: Uncommon, Tiny, Mystical Beast
Effect: This slinky black feline has a single white spot on its chest. Its mannerisms and movements are eerily human.
Special: Preparation: ---; Duration: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: This slinky black feline has a single white spot on its chest. Its mannerisms and movements are eerily human. Cat siths are inscrutable feline creatures that inhabit highlands around towns and cities. They resemble common housecats at a glance, but cat siths are supernatural beings that have the cunning of civilized races and strange magical powers rivaling those of fey. They're capable of easily walking balanced on just their hind legs and wearing boots. They can carry one object in their front paws when walking bipedal, though they cannot manipulate such objects with the fine control required to use weapons, wands, and similar objects. Unpredictable yet sophisticated, these strange beings use their unassuming appearances to infiltrate civilized areas, either serving as spies for powerful Chakra users or entertaining their own unknowable agendas. Many cultures fear cat siths and tell myths about their otherworldly powers. Cat siths are heavier than most housecats, weighing between 25 and 30 pounds. A cat sith is nearly 2 feet long from its nose to the base of its tail. A cat sith can bite for 2 armour points of damage while claw for 2 (while dealing no luck damage). No Luck is a special ability all cat sith can perform. A creature hit by a cat sith's claws must succeed at a will save 10 + 2 per Class Level + Impeccable Will or be stricken with lucklessness. For 1d4 rounds, the affected creature cannot benefit from any Luck Bonus. Once per day they can perform what is called False Curse as a "C" Rank weaving movement. the target must be within 20 meters and ust be able to see the cat sith to be affected by the false curse (10 + 2 per Class Level + Impeccable Will). An affected creature takes a -4 to Saves, and -20 to Skill checks. Because this effect is not a true curse, the target gains a new Save to end the effect at the beginning of each day. This is a language-dependent, mind-affecting effect that can be affected by Cleanse Curse. A Cat Sith can learn Ghost Sound, Hypnotism, Rest Eternal, and Chakra Aura.

[Skulking Shinzu]

You watch in awe as the enormous meteor pierces through the heavens to slam down onto your location with all its fiery wrath. Even before making contact, you notice the ground around your barrier bursting into flames and carving out a crater underneath the force held within the Jutsu’s sheer mass. However, elemental advantage on your side, you feel a sense of calm as the bubble dome holds up against the force of the blow with ease. Not only that, but you notice your barrier thickening and growing sturdier as the bubble dome takes in the fiery wrath to convert the opposing Chakra into pure defence.

“W-What!?” Cursed the mental voice. A flash of light then erupts as the meteor explodes into a barrage of fiery pebbles. You note that the technique has ended, and the inhabitants of your bubble are safe. However, all around you now stands an inferno of red flames and molten red pebbles starting from the edge of the barrier. You sense that somehow, the stalker must have also blocked the aftermath of his own attack. However, there is too much fire Chakra in the surrounding area to pinpoint any locations that may have been protected from the assault.

What’s more, you sense his hesitation in your mind the moment one of you attempt to approach him. Locked behind your bubble dome for a moment, the action of walking towards him immediately alerts the attacker of your intent. “Discovered, eh?” He taunts you, but with a hint of nervousness in his voice. By the time your barrier fades, you sense he would have moved locations. However, to where? How far? Scattered all around you, the scorching heat of molten pebbles littering the ground around your ring of water assaults your senses. Mundane shoes will not allow you to traverse the area easily. However, you realise the same must also be true for the attacker. How will you find him?

[Minoru Hyuuga]

Kage bunshin stun duration: 2/3.

The male smiled as his chakra increased again. When the meteor touched the dome, he stepped into a familiar position. “Hakkeshou! Kaiten!” muttered Minoru. Next, he spun around with high speed.

This jutsu should have enough power to get rid of the debris. ‘I think I need to move up a little. The ground is like lava now’ mused the young man. He did some handseals. A pair of purple angelic wings emerged a few moments later.

“W-What!?” exclaimed the voice. Minoru flapped his wings to gain some elevation. Right now, he was 10 meters above the ground. ‘Thank Kami! They’re SAFE!’ thought the young man in relief.

“Discovered, eh?” mocked the voice. The Chuunin pointed on his eyes in a seemingly rude gesture. His kage bunshins would scan the area straight away. Kage bunshin one would look west and north-west. Kage bunshin two would look north and north-east.

Kage bunshin number three checked the east and south-east. The male scanned the south and south-west. It would not take them long to find the culprit. Their byakugan could see 100 meters in each direction. The third kage bunshin could see invisible creatures thanks to his eyes of the planes.

If they located the culprit, they had a number of options ready. The second kage bunshin could unleash an iron rainfall 20 meters behind their opponent. This made it harder for him to run away. Furthermore, it would hopefully bring him closer to the barrier. The black-haired guy would do the second step.

There were two options depending on what kind of jutsu the enemy would use. Option one was the buttohira if they caught him early enough. A faster option was the ryusen. It had the same strength as the sword in his hand. Another option was a combination of both jutsus.

Their byakugan should be able to spot the chakra system. “Does any of you need any medical help? We can heal some of your injuries if we need to” informed the clone. They all knew first aid or jutsus that could help them. Or make the situation less painful.

The user may concentrate for an amount of hand seals 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.

This make the jutsu a sneak attack that performs added damage to the attack depending on the user's class level.
As an “S” class character, this attack does +60 armour points of damage.
Limit: Must be an alchemist.


Purify jutsu.
Rank: “A” Rank.
Skill: Supplementary.
Effect: User can charge their damaging jutsus with celestial energy that leaves good creatures unharmed.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: This jutsu adds the good descriptor to a jutsu. Furthermore, if the jutsu deals damage, half of the damage is holy damage. For example a normal “C” Rank jutsu does 40 armour points of damage: 20 armour points of fire damage and 20 armour points of holy damage. Thus, creatures immune to fire still potentially take 20 armour points of damage.
Jutsu handseal/Chakra increase: 1/2 Rank.
Limit: Must learn from universal ninjutsu. Must be good aligned.



Jutsus used [Minoru only]:


Kage bunshin no jutsu (Shadow clone jutsu).
Rank: “B” Rank.
Skill: Ninjutsu.
Effect: This technique creates clones of the user. However, these clones are actual copies, not illusions.
Special: “Clone seal”.
Drawback: The user's chakra is evenly distributed among every clone, giving each clone an equal fraction of the user's overall power.
Description: The clones are capable of performing techniques on their own and can even bleed, but will usually disperse after one or two solid blows. They can also disperse on their own. The clones will be created in roughly the same condition as the original. Shadow clones cannot be distinguished from the actual person even by the byakugan because the clones have the exact same amount of chakra and aren't made from any other substance. A characteristic that is unique to the shadow clone technique is that any experience the clones gain during their existence is transferred to the user once they are dispersed. This makes the technique ideal for spying, since the user can simply send a clone to spy on a target, then have the clone disperse itself without returning to pass the information back to the user. Cannot gain extra training points through training with shadow clone. User is able to make up to 5 clones at a time. Takes the amount of time to perform a “B” rank jutsu. Shadow clones may travel between different threads within the same board.
Limit: Universal ninjutsu technique. Must be Chūnin or gain village scroll.


Detect illusion. 1/5 usages.
Rank: “C” Rank.
Skill: Genjutsu.
Effect: User is able to detect any illusion within 10 meters of the user.

Special: ---

Drawback: ---

Description: Range of this technique is 20 meter cone-shaped emanation. User detects illusions performed by someone with a lower class point than the user. If the class point is equal to the user's, the user must make a class level check (1d20 + class level) versus the save of the jutsu. The amount of information revealed depends on how long the user studies a particular area or subject.

3rd round: The location of each illusion.

This jutsu tells the user only that illusions are present. Detect illusion does not tell exactly what those illusions are. It only provides knowledge about present illusions. This gives the user an automatic +20 circumstance bonus to identify illusions with chakra lore.
Limit: Universal genjutsu technique.


Hakkeshou: Nankan (Hands of the eight divinations: Barrier). 2/14.
Rank: “C” Rank.
Skill: Taijutsu.
Effect: Speeds up the user by two 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.


Cloud the mind. Duration: 5/25 rounds.
Rank: “C” Rank.
Skill: Ninjutsu.
Effect: User makes themselves invisible to one target.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Target is one creature. Range is 30 meters. Duration is five rounds per class level. User's soul shrouds the perceptions of another creature. When the user performs this jutsu on a target within 30 meters, that target cannot make any observation checks to know that the user is there. If the user interacts with an object, it can notice that something or someone is around and act as it should. If the user makes an attack, it ends this effect. A will save of 10 + (2 per class level + impeccable will) will negate this jutsu.
Limit: Must be a soulcaster.


Wings of the planes. Duration: 25 hours [5 x 5].
Rank: “B” Rank.
Skill: Ninjutsu.
Effect: User gains the ability to fly.
Special: ---

Jutsus used [kage bunshin 3]:


Eyes of the planes. Duration: 25 hours.
Rank: “D” Rank.
Skill: Ninjutsu.
Effect: Gain low-light vision and see invisible.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: A personal based technique. Works at one creature at a time. Duration of the jutsu is 5 hours per class level. User stumble on a way to change their soul's eyes so they are more like the eyes of planar creatures. Since they are a reflection of their own soul, their eyes change as well.

How Minoru's eyes look like during this jutsu: Here.

User gains the ability of low-light vision and can see auras of invisible creatures (issuing invisible creatures only a 20% concealment). User also sees lingering auras where living creatures have touched solid objects much like a footprint. These lingering auras only last for two rounds and fade away.
Limit: Must be a soulcaster.


Hakkeshou: Nankan (Hands of the eight divinations: Barrier). 1/14.
Rank: “C” Rank.
Skill: Taijutsu.
Effect: Speeds up the user by two 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.


Hakke: Kamisorikaiten (Eight trigams: Razor divination whirl).
Rank: “A” Rank.
Skill: Taijutsu.
Effect: The user performs the daikaiten, amplifying it into an offensive and defense technique combination by running razor-sharp strands of chakra on the outer ends of the technique.
Special: ---
Drawback: The strands are small, and are only capable of striking the opponent if the opponent is caught within the initial release of the daikaiten or attempts to run straight into it.
Description: Many people of the Hyuuga clan have often considered their kaiten technique to be the most powerful and important technique within the entire Hyuuga branch. This ability works to amplify that effect, turning a technique normally meant to be used in a defensive manner into an offensive technique. As the user begins their rotation, they will focus upon the edges of the kaiten, creating a multitude of strands that ride upon the edges of the kaiten. These strands, which cover the entire surface of the kaiten, are razor sharp and are capable of cutting through stone. The range of the kaiten does not increase, meaning that in order to attack an opponent, they must get caught within the expansion of the chakra.
Limit: Must have daiharichakra. Must have daikaiten. Must be a member of the Hyuuga main family and must learn in the Hyuuga mansion dojo.


Cleanse the area.
Rank: “S” Rank.

Water creation jutsu.
Rank: “A” Rank.

Effect: User can perform water applicable jutsus without the need of snow or ice nearby.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Specific to water applicable jutsus. Some water applicable jutsus require a small source to colossal source of water nearby. This jutsu negates this need. By expending extra amount of handseals and chakra, the user can perform said jutsus without the needed requirement. Water creation jutsu cannot be reduced by efficient jutsu enhancement technique, easy jutsu enhancement technique and similar jutsus. Jutsu handseal/chakra increase: 1 rank.

User creates a protective dome of bubble with a 6 meter radius burst centered on the user. The dome will protect the user with a 5 hardness and 60 armour points per class level. Upon activation, the dome is invulnerable for 1 second per class level (maximum 3 seconds). Incoming damage that is absorbed during the invulnerability period is converted into armour points and added to the dome's health. Multiple bubble domes may be performed, however a maximum of 4 separate bubble domes can be performed at any given time. Performing bubble dome after reaching the maximum will remove the oldest dome. Performing bubble dome while inside an existing bubble dome will remove the older dome and combine the total remaining armour points value of both domes for the newer one. The invulnerability is reactivated for each performing. User may destroy the bubble dome.
Limit: Must know water release.

This technique requires a huge source of water nearby. User creates an opaque, upright wall of water that blocks vision. Creatures trying to pass through the wall take 12 armour points bludgeoning damage + 5 armour points per class level. Additionally, they are pushed back 2 meters. The wall deals double damage to creatures with the fire subtype. If the user evokes the wall so that it appears where creatures are, each takes damage as if trying to pass through the wall. If any 2 meter length of wall takes 60 armour points or more of chakra fire damage in a round, that length evaporates.
Limit: Must know water release.

Jutsu prepared next round [Minoru]:

Option 1:
Buttohira no kakou jouten (Buddhist palm descending from heaven). Can do it on the ground (+ 20 extra TP).
Rank: “S” Rank.
Skill: Taijutsu.
Effect: A palm thrust within the air that releases a burst of chakra, knocking an opponent into the ground, crushing the opponent by the sheer force.
Special: ---
Drawback: When first learned user is only able to perform this technique in the air downwards as the force of gravity is needed to help with the technique. If the user trains into this technique with an extra twenty training points then the user is able to perform this technique while on the ground.
Description: The user takes the concept of hakke kusho (eight trigrams empty palm) and forms it into a new more deadly move. As a master of jyuuken, the user's control with their inner chakra has become impeccable. Their strength becomes frightening. Imagine being hit by sheer force with an attack in which keeps an opponent still, while inflicting an immense amount of crushing power. This technique was first devised to be used in the air towards the ground against opponents standing on the ground. The user must find a way to achieve a height of over fifty meters in the air. While doing so the user becomes at peace with himself placing his hands together. Then the descend happens. Concentrating the chakra along the palm of their hands the user descends down head first. The user then extends his hitting arm over his head (towards the ground) using sheer force along with his own chakra. The force itself is to push down first keeping the opponent(s) to the ground, keeping them to where the opponent(s) may not move. If the opponent is a higher specialist (taijutsu master against a taijutsu specialist) and is one class higher then the user (A to B) the opponent(s) are able to avoid the attack. As the user finishes the attack they push their hand once more to the ground while continuing to descend. This attack has a range of fifteen meters in radius. Those who are within this range will be hit by the attack.
As the attack finishes the opponent is crushed by the immense force as the attack leaves a massive imprint in the ground of the Buddhist palm. If the user takes the time to train twenty more training points into the technique, the user is able to perform the technique while standing up. While standing (not falling) the basics stay the same as the opponent(s) are unable to move. Depending on the class of the user depends on the distance this technique may be forced while standing.
* Difficulty class “S” – Fifty meters.
Those who are hit by the attack while the user is standing are crushed by the force of the attack.
Limit: Must know hakke kusho (eight trigrams empty palm). Must have mastered jyuuken – the gentle fist.

Skill: Taijutsu.
Effect: This technique is a range technique that sends a force wave attack in a line at far off distances to cut those far away.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: The basis of all gosei ryuu techniques. User slashes their sword releasing an amount of air pressure that is the width of the blade, while the length increases the further it travels. When first learned the technique's strength is the force of a bat. When the user learns the “A” rank, the air pressure is as strong as the blade of the sword. When the user learns the “S” rank, the air pressure is strong enough to cut through overview objects. Depending on the user's class level depends on the distance of the technique.
“S” class - Travels 40 meters.
Limit: Must learn from a master of buredono kenseijin - blade of the sword saint. Must know all stances.

Incoming damage that is absorbed during the invulnerability period is converted into armour points and added to the dome's health. Multiple bubble domes may be performed, however a maximum of 4 separate bubble domes can be performed at any given time. Performing bubble dome after reaching the maximum will remove the oldest dome.

Creature we are looking for:


Cat Sith
Rank: ""
Type: Uncommon, Tiny, Mystical Beast
Effect: This slinky black feline has a single white spot on its chest. Its mannerisms and movements are eerily human.
Special: Preparation: ---; Duration: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: This slinky black feline has a single white spot on its chest. Its mannerisms and movements are eerily human. Cat siths are inscrutable feline creatures that inhabit highlands around towns and cities. They resemble common housecats at a glance, but cat siths are supernatural beings that have the cunning of civilized races and strange magical powers rivaling those of fey. They're capable of easily walking balanced on just their hind legs and wearing boots. They can carry one object in their front paws when walking bipedal, though they cannot manipulate such objects with the fine control required to use weapons, wands, and similar objects. Unpredictable yet sophisticated, these strange beings use their unassuming appearances to infiltrate civilized areas, either serving as spies for powerful Chakra users or entertaining their own unknowable agendas. Many cultures fear cat siths and tell myths about their otherworldly powers. Cat siths are heavier than most housecats, weighing between 25 and 30 pounds. A cat sith is nearly 2 feet long from its nose to the base of its tail. A cat sith can bite for 2 armour points of damage while claw for 2 (while dealing no luck damage). No Luck is a special ability all cat sith can perform. A creature hit by a cat sith's claws must succeed at a will save 10 + 2 per Class Level + Impeccable Will or be stricken with lucklessness. For 1d4 rounds, the affected creature cannot benefit from any Luck Bonus. Once per day they can perform what is called False Curse as a "C" Rank weaving movement. the target must be within 20 meters and ust be able to see the cat sith to be affected by the false curse (10 + 2 per Class Level + Impeccable Will). An affected creature takes a -4 to Saves, and -20 to Skill checks. Because this effect is not a true curse, the target gains a new Save to end the effect at the beginning of each day. This is a language-dependent, mind-affecting effect that can be affected by Cleanse Curse. A Cat Sith can learn Ghost Sound, Hypnotism, Rest Eternal, and Chakra Aura.

[Skulking Shinzu]

You notice that debris would indeed be cleared. However, due to the limited range of the Hakkeshou, only around a 20-meter radius of where the technique had been performed, which was mostly clear anyway thanks to your bubble dome from earlier. “SON OF A FELINE %$^%&$!” All manner of curses and profanities flood your mind as the trailing wind behind your Hakkeshou sprays volcanic pebbles from the surrounding area away from your general location and into the distance. Most fly harmlessly into the surrounding flames. However, based on the unrelenting cursing, you sense that a volley must have hit the stalker, which almost confirms that he is still in the area.

“Right back at you kitten-groper.” Your mind fills with a sinister hiss as the man’s telepathic message ends in retaliation to your rude gesture. Your clones began scanning. Observing. Searching. However, they find nothing. A natural impossibility, considering how stray volcanic pebbles had clearly hurt him earlier. Focusing on the range they had been launched into the surroundings, you estimate that the man could not be more than 40 meters away from your original body. Rather than fleeing on discovery, he appeared to have actually closed the gap between himself and your group. However, which direction did he move in?

Doubt fills the mind of yourself and your clones. The man was not invisible. As evident by your eyes of the planes not revealing anything meaningful. However, in a way he was. Camouflage. The word fills your mind, as your Byakugan fails to see anything beyond the orange inferno surrounding the area. However, camouflage alone could never completely fool a Byakugan. That feat, required hiding one’s flow of Chakra from view. How had the man achieved that? Whatever the case, your search yields nothing except the calming knowledge that while hiding, the stalker seems unable to cause any further mischief or harm. At least for now anyway.

[Minoru Hyuuga]

Kage bunshin stun duration: 3/3.

The kaiten got rid of the debris with ease. In addition, it did something that surprised the male. “SON OF A FELINE %$^%&$!” screamed the male voice. Minoru realized his kaiten had sent the debris straight at his enemy. However, his byakugan did not see him.

He tried to ignore the taunt as he checked the area. ‘That’s strange. I saw his chakra when he performed the katon jutsu. But I can't see him when he's not performing the jutsu. That’s odd since he’s able to use chakra jutsus’ thought the young man.

His clones looked just as confused and annoyed as he did. The stunned clone appeared somewhat relieved though. It would not take long until he got his mobility back. The Chuunin knitted his brows as he scanned the area around him. He did a small series of handseals.

‘He’s 40 meters away from me in this direction. I will use the buttohira when he appears. I want you to do the iron rain at the area behind him. I will close him in. One of the kage bunshin has prepared a new bubble dome just in case’ informed the male.

He pointed towards the position while hiding his hand behind his back. His second kage bunshin nodded before informing the kage bunshins. “I should be able to move soon” informed the stunned clone. “Excellent. Let's keep our byakugan peeled” replied the other guy with a grin.

The user may concentrate for an amount of hand seals 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 first two times, they train it as a regular “C” Rank jutsu. When the user learns this technique the second two 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.


Telescopic eye. Range: 100 meters.
Rank: “C” Rank (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 hand seals 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%.

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 vertebrae. 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.

Skill: Supplementary.
Effect: User can charge their damaging jutsus with celestial energy that leaves good creatures unharmed.

Drawback: ---
Description: This jutsu adds the good descriptor to a jutsu. Furthermore, if the jutsu deals damage, half of the damage is holy damage. For example a normal “C” Rank jutsu does 40 armour points of damage: 20 armour points of fire damage and 20 armour points of holy damage. Thus, creatures immune to fire still potentially take 20 armour points of damage.
Jutsu handseal/Chakra increase: 1/2 Rank.
Limit: Must learn from universal ninjutsu. Must be good aligned.



Jutsus used [Minoru only]:


Kage bunshin no jutsu (Shadow clone jutsu).
Rank: “B” Rank.
Skill: Ninjutsu.
Effect: This technique creates clones of the user. However, these clones are actual copies, not illusions.
Special: “Clone seal”.
Drawback: The user's chakra is evenly distributed among every clone, giving each clone an equal fraction of the user's overall power.
Description: The clones are capable of performing techniques on their own and can even bleed, but will usually disperse after one or two solid blows. They can also disperse on their own. The clones will be created in roughly the same condition as the original. Shadow clones cannot be distinguished from the actual person even by the byakugan because the clones have the exact same amount of chakra and aren't made from any other substance. A characteristic that is unique to the shadow clone technique is that any experience the clones gain during their existence is transferred to the user once they are dispersed. This makes the technique ideal for spying, since the user can simply send a clone to spy on a target, then have the clone disperse itself without returning to pass the information back to the user. Cannot gain extra training points through training with shadow clone. User is able to make up to 5 clones at a time. Takes the amount of time to perform a “B” rank jutsu. Shadow clones may travel between different threads within the same board.
Limit: Universal ninjutsu technique. Must be Chūnin or gain village scroll.

If the class point is equal to the user's, the user must make a class level check (1d20 + class level) versus the save of the jutsu. The amount of information revealed depends on how long the user studies a particular area or subject.

3rd round: The location of each illusion.

This jutsu tells the user only that illusions are present. Detect illusion does not tell exactly what those illusions are. It only provides knowledge about present illusions. This gives the user an automatic +20 circumstance bonus to identify illusions with chakra lore.
Limit: Universal genjutsu technique.

Rank: “C” Rank.
Skill: Taijutsu.
Effect: Speeds up the user by two 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.

If the user interacts with an object, it can notice that something or someone is around and act as it should. If the user makes an attack, it ends this effect. A will save of 10 + (2 per class level + impeccable will) will negate this jutsu.
Limit: Must be a soulcaster.

Rank: “D” Rank.

Effect: A message of a length the user sets races to their intended recipient.

The duration of this technique is instantaneous. This technique may be negated. The user can send any length message. User needs not mouth the words or whisper, so there is no chance for spies to read lips. Provided the recipient understands the language, they hear it clearly on jutsu completion, regardless of the noise in the room. No one else understands or even hears the message. Silence jutsu, 1 foot of stone, 1 inch of common metal (or a thin sheet of lead) or 3 feet of wood or dirt blocks the jutsu. The message, however, does not have to travel in a straight line. It can circumvent a barrier if there is an open path between the user and the subject, and if the path's entire length lies within the jutsu's range.
Limit: Must know the phantasm perception.



Jutsus used [kage bunshin 3]:


Eyes of the planes. Duration: 25 hours.
Rank: “D” Rank.

Drawback: ---
Description: A personal based technique. Works at one creature at a time. Duration of the jutsu is 5 hours per class level.

Hakkeshou: Nankan (Hands of the eight divinations: Barrier). 1/14.
Rank: “C” Rank.
Skill: Taijutsu.
Effect: Speeds up the user by two 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.

Rank: “A” Rank.
Skill: Taijutsu.
Effect: The user performs the daikaiten, amplifying it into an offensive and defense technique combination by running razor-sharp strands of chakra on the outer ends of the technique.
Special: ---
Drawback: The strands are small, and are only capable of striking the opponent if the opponent is caught within the initial release of the daikaiten or attempts to run straight into it.
Description: Many people of the Hyuuga clan have often considered their kaiten technique to be the most powerful and important technique within the entire Hyuuga branch. This ability works to amplify that effect, turning a technique normally meant to be used in a defensive manner into an offensive technique. As the user begins their rotation, they will focus upon the edges of the kaiten, creating a multitude of strands that ride upon the edges of the kaiten. These strands, which cover the entire surface of the kaiten, are razor sharp and are capable of cutting through stone. The range of the kaiten does not increase, meaning that in order to attack an opponent, they must get caught within the expansion of the chakra.

Special: ---
Drawback: ---

Incoming damage that is absorbed during the invulnerability period is converted into armour points and added to the dome's health. Multiple bubble domes may be performed, however a maximum of 4 separate bubble domes can be performed at any given time. Performing bubble dome after reaching the maximum will remove the oldest dome.

Jutsu prepared next round [Minoru]:

Option 1:
Buttohira no kakou jouten (Buddhist palm descending from heaven). Can do it on the ground (+ 20 extra TP).
Rank: “S” Rank.
Skill: Taijutsu.
Effect: A palm thrust within the air that releases a burst of chakra, knocking an opponent into the ground, crushing the opponent by the sheer force.
Special: ---
Drawback: When first learned user is only able to perform this technique in the air downwards as the force of gravity is needed to help with the technique. If the user trains into this technique with an extra twenty training points then the user is able to perform this technique while on the ground.
Description: The user takes the concept of hakke kusho (eight trigrams empty palm) and forms it into a new more deadly move. As a master of jyuuken, the user's control with their inner chakra has become impeccable. Their strength becomes frightening. Imagine being hit by sheer force with an attack in which keeps an opponent still, while inflicting an immense amount of crushing power. This technique was first devised to be used in the air towards the ground against opponents standing on the ground. The user must find a way to achieve a height of over fifty meters in the air. While doing so the user becomes at peace with himself placing his hands together. Then the descend happens. Concentrating the chakra along the palm of their hands the user descends down head first. The user then extends his hitting arm over his head (towards the ground) using sheer force along with his own chakra. The force itself is to push down first keeping the opponent(s) to the ground, keeping them to where the opponent(s) may not move. If the opponent is a higher specialist (taijutsu master against a taijutsu specialist) and is one class higher then the user (A to B) the opponent(s) are able to avoid the attack. As the user finishes the attack they push their hand once more to the ground while continuing to descend. This attack has a range of fifteen meters in radius. Those who are within this range will be hit by the attack.
As the attack finishes the opponent is crushed by the immense force as the attack leaves a massive imprint in the ground of the Buddhist palm. If the user takes the time to train twenty more training points into the technique, the user is able to perform the technique while standing up. While standing (not falling) the basics stay the same as the opponent(s) are unable to move. Depending on the class of the user depends on the distance this technique may be forced while standing.
* Difficulty class “S” – Fifty meters.
Those who are hit by the attack while the user is standing are crushed by the force of the attack.
Limit: Must know hakke kusho (eight trigrams empty palm). Must have mastered jyuuken – the gentle fist.

Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: The basis of all gosei ryuu techniques. User slashes their sword releasing an amount of air pressure that is the width of the blade, while the length increases the further it travels. When first learned the technique's strength is the force of a bat. When the user learns the “A” rank, the air pressure is as strong as the blade of the sword. When the user learns the “S” rank, the air pressure is strong enough to cut through overview objects. Depending on the user's class level depends on the distance of the technique.

Multiple bubble domes may be performed, however a maximum of 4 separate bubble domes can be performed at any given time. Performing bubble dome after reaching the maximum will remove the oldest dome.

If the character becomes fatigued, the penalties still apply normally, but the user can run nor do they do not become exhausted. User also gain a +4 alchemical bonus to Toughness and a Damage Reduction 1/— per alchemy mastery). User can no longer feel Pain effects. Pain effects do not affect the target until the duration of the effects. This does not negate any physical damage, ability damage, that a pain effect has already done, but it does negate ongoing penalties from pain while the effects last. Once the effects fade, the user will be fatigued until they take a full rest (Fortitude save 15 for half). The effects of the soldier pill do not stack, and do not refresh the effects. If the user is knocked unconscious for 1 or more hours, the effect immediately fades, and the character becomes fatigued.

Creature we are looking for:


Cat Sith
Rank: ""
Type: Uncommon, Tiny, Mystical Beast
Effect: This slinky black feline has a single white spot on its chest. Its mannerisms and movements are eerily human.
Special: Preparation: ---; Duration: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: This slinky black feline has a single white spot on its chest. Its mannerisms and movements are eerily human. Cat siths are inscrutable feline creatures that inhabit highlands around towns and cities. They resemble common housecats at a glance, but cat siths are supernatural beings that have the cunning of civilized races and strange magical powers rivaling those of fey. They're capable of easily walking balanced on just their hind legs and wearing boots. They can carry one object in their front paws when walking bipedal, though they cannot manipulate such objects with the fine control required to use weapons, wands, and similar objects. Unpredictable yet sophisticated, these strange beings use their unassuming appearances to infiltrate civilized areas, either serving as spies for powerful Chakra users or entertaining their own unknowable agendas. Many cultures fear cat siths and tell myths about their otherworldly powers. Cat siths are heavier than most housecats, weighing between 25 and 30 pounds. A cat sith is nearly 2 feet long from its nose to the base of its tail. A cat sith can bite for 2 armour points of damage while claw for 2 (while dealing no luck damage). No Luck is a special ability all cat sith can perform. A creature hit by a cat sith's claws must succeed at a will save 10 + 2 per Class Level + Impeccable Will or be stricken with lucklessness. For 1d4 rounds, the affected creature cannot benefit from any Luck Bonus. Once per day they can perform what is called False Curse as a "C" Rank weaving movement. the target must be within 20 meters and ust be able to see the cat sith to be affected by the false curse (10 + 2 per Class Level + Impeccable Will). An affected creature takes a -4 to Saves, and -20 to Skill checks. Because this effect is not a true curse, the target gains a new Save to end the effect at the beginning of each day. This is a language-dependent, mind-affecting effect that can be affected by Cleanse Curse. A Cat Sith can learn Ghost Sound, Hypnotism, Rest Eternal, and Chakra Aura.

[Skulking Shinzu]

“Foolish. My flames cannot be extinguished with mere water-” The mysterious stalker clearly aimed to taunt you. However, as the sudden rainfall descended down the foe’s last known general location, the mental link between you seemed to break. Despite this, you can still hear the sound of someone yelling and cursing in agony – just not in your mind. This time, the voice seemed faint, despite the intense agony that it carried in its tone. The voice wasn’t weak – it was just far away. The yelling and screaming seemed to be coming from near the right-most extreme of iron rain’s 12-meter radius.

“Arghhhh….” A beastly groan emanated from the man’s location. The sound of a wounded beast attempting to psych itself up. He still wasn’t visible, and no scorched plant life seemed to be moving or rustling to give away any movements. You are confident that he is stationary, and judging from the dull pelting sounds, your iron rain is definitely striking against flesh. However, why isn’t he moving? What is he waiting for? Whatever the case, you have a few moments to react, until the flames hiding him from view die down, only for white-hot steam to rise in its place. Agony or not, you sense the stalker’s strong resolve to remain hidden. Approach, attempt to communicate with him, or simply attack from range? You sense a multitude of possibilities. However, which is the right answer? You realise you can do little aside from fall back on your training and experiences for guidance, as the creatures you had rescued seemed far too dazed and confused to respond to anything meaningful.

[Minoru Hyuuga]

Kage bunshin stun duration: OVER!


The male prepared himself as the iron rain started to fall. “Foolish. My flames cannot be extinguished with mere water-”. Minoru grinned when he heard the man curse in agony. His observation skills made it a lot easier to hear and find him.

‘He’s at the right-most extreme of the iron rain. I want number three to use razor rain next to the right most part of the iron rain. I want him to be near the center. Number one needs to prepare another razor rain in case he pulls up something funny. I want number two to stay put in case the bubble dome needs reinforcement’ informed the young man.

Using the nankan allowed him to move much faster. The distance between them was 40 meters now. “ Arghhhh…” groaned a voice. “Finally…thank Kami that stun is over” muttered the clone as he did the handseals. He used his byakugan and eyes of the plane to aim his razor rain.

Meanwhile, clone number one started to prepare the iron rain jutsu. Kage bunshin number one paid attention to the sith cats’ vitals. The Chuunin raised his left arm. It was crunch time. ‘EAT THIS YOUR £$¤%&!!!!’ mentally screamed the male.

Moments later, the hell started. The razor rain would most likely trap the culprit in deadly rain. Furthermore, the black-haired guy would slam his buttohira starting 10 meters in front of the monster. His jutsu would most likely force the enemy to his knees. If not, the young man had a plan.

He would use his ryusen jutsu if the enemy tried to charge forwards. The ryusen's air pressure was as strong as a sword blade. Another option would be the ryūsōsen. This was a faster attack that dealt a flurry of successive blows. Said blows were at god-like speed.

The quartet could feel their heart beat in their ears. They hated to admit it, but it was necessary to kill the culprit. Or at least knock him out cold. They owed that to the poor sith cats. Hopefully, they would return to normal soon.

The user can activate this technique as a “C” Rank technique taking up hand seals. 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 hand seals 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.

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.

Limit: Must learn from universal ninjutsu. Must be good aligned.



Jutsus used [Minoru only]:


Kage bunshin no jutsu (Shadow clone jutsu).
Rank: “B” Rank.
Skill: Ninjutsu.
Effect: This technique creates clones of the user. However, these clones are actual copies, not illusions.
Special: “Clone seal”.
Drawback: The user's chakra is evenly distributed among every clone, giving each clone an equal fraction of the user's overall power.
Description: The clones are capable of performing techniques on their own and can even bleed, but will usually disperse after one or two solid blows. They can also disperse on their own. The clones will be created in roughly the same condition as the original. Shadow clones cannot be distinguished from the actual person even by the byakugan because the clones have the exact same amount of chakra and aren't made from any other substance. A characteristic that is unique to the shadow clone technique is that any experience the clones gain during their existence is transferred to the user once they are dispersed. This makes the technique ideal for spying, since the user can simply send a clone to spy on a target, then have the clone disperse itself without returning to pass the information back to the user. Cannot gain extra training points through training with shadow clone. User is able to make up to 5 clones at a time. Takes the amount of time to perform a “B” rank jutsu. Shadow clones may travel between different threads within the same board.
Limit: Universal ninjutsu technique. Must be Chūnin or gain village scroll.


Detect illusion. 1/5 usages.
Rank: “C” Rank.
Skill: Genjutsu.
Effect: User is able to detect any illusion within 10 meters of the user.

Special: ---

Drawback: ---

Description: Range of this technique is 20 meter cone-shaped emanation. User detects illusions performed by someone with a lower class point than the user. If the class point is equal to the user's, the user must make a class level check (1d20 + class level) versus the save of the jutsu. The amount of information revealed depends on how long the user studies a particular area or subject.

3rd round: The location of each illusion.

This jutsu tells the user only that illusions are present. Detect illusion does not tell exactly what those illusions are. It only provides knowledge about present illusions. This gives the user an automatic +20 circumstance bonus to identify illusions with chakra lore.
Limit: Universal genjutsu technique.


Hakkeshou: Nankan (Hands of the eight divinations: Barrier). 3/14.
Rank: “C” Rank.
Skill: Taijutsu.
Effect: Speeds up the user by two 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.


Cloud the mind. Duration: 7/25 rounds.
Rank: “C” Rank.
Skill: Ninjutsu.
Effect: User makes themselves invisible to one target.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Target is one creature. Range is 30 meters. Duration is five rounds per class level. User's soul shrouds the perceptions of another creature. When the user performs this jutsu on a target within 30 meters, that target cannot make any observation checks to know that the user is there. If the user interacts with an object, it can notice that something or someone is around and act as it should. If the user makes an attack, it ends this effect. A will save of 10 + (2 per class level + impeccable will) will negate this jutsu.
Limit: Must be a soulcaster.

Rank: “D” Rank.
Skill: Genjutsu.
Effect: A message of a length the user sets races to their intended recipient.
Special: “Handseals”.
Drawback: ---
Description: A mind-affecting technique. Affects one allied 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 is instantaneous. This technique may be negated. The user can send any length message. User needs not mouth the words or whisper, so there is no chance for spies to read lips. Provided the recipient understands the language, they hear it clearly on jutsu completion, regardless of the noise in the room. No one else understands or even hears the message. Silence jutsu, 1 foot of stone, 1 inch of common metal (or a thin sheet of lead) or 3 feet of wood or dirt blocks the jutsu. The message, however, does not have to travel in a straight line. It can circumvent a barrier if there is an open path between the user and the subject, and if the path's entire length lies within the jutsu's range.
Limit: Must know the phantasm perception.


Buttohira no kakou jouten (Buddhist palm descending from heaven). Can do it on the ground (+ 20 extra TP).
Rank: “S” Rank.
Skill: Taijutsu.
Effect: A palm thrust within the air that releases a burst of chakra, knocking an opponent into the ground, crushing the opponent by the sheer force.
Special: ---
Drawback: When first learned user is only able to perform this technique in the air downwards as the force of gravity is needed to help with the technique. If the user trains into this technique with an extra twenty training points then the user is able to perform this technique while on the ground.
Description: The user takes the concept of hakke kusho (eight trigrams empty palm) and forms it into a new more deadly move. As a master of jyuuken, the user's control with their inner chakra has become impeccable. Their strength becomes frightening. Imagine being hit by sheer force with an attack in which keeps an opponent still, while inflicting an immense amount of crushing power. This technique was first devised to be used in the air towards the ground against opponents standing on the ground. The user must find a way to achieve a height of over fifty meters in the air. While doing so the user becomes at peace with himself placing his hands together. Then the descend happens. Concentrating the chakra along the palm of their hands the user descends down head first. The user then extends his hitting arm over his head (towards the ground) using sheer force along with his own chakra. The force itself is to push down first keeping the opponent(s) to the ground, keeping them to where the opponent(s) may not move. If the opponent is a higher specialist (taijutsu master against a taijutsu specialist) and is one class higher then the user (A to B) the opponent(s) are able to avoid the attack. As the user finishes the attack they push their hand once more to the ground while continuing to descend. This attack has a range of fifteen meters in radius. Those who are within this range will be hit by the attack.
As the attack finishes the opponent is crushed by the immense force as the attack leaves a massive imprint in the ground of the Buddhist palm. If the user takes the time to train twenty more training points into the technique, the user is able to perform the technique while standing up. While standing (not falling) the basics stay the same as the opponent(s) are unable to move. Depending on the class of the user depends on the distance this technique may be forced while standing.
* Difficulty class “S” – Fifty meters.
Those who are hit by the attack while the user is standing are crushed by the force of the attack.
Limit: Must know hakke kusho (eight trigrams empty palm). Must have mastered jyuuken – the gentle fist.



Jutsus used [kage bunshin 3]:


Eyes of the planes. Duration: 25 hours.
Rank: “D” Rank.
Skill: Ninjutsu.
Effect: Gain low-light vision and see invisible.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: A personal based technique. Works at one creature at a time. Duration of the jutsu is 5 hours per class level. User stumble on a way to change their soul's eyes so they are more like the eyes of planar creatures. Since they are a reflection of their own soul, their eyes change as well.

How Minoru's eyes look like during this jutsu: Here.

User also sees lingering auras where living creatures have touched solid objects much like a footprint. These lingering auras only last for two rounds and fade away.
Limit: Must be a soulcaster.


Hakkeshou: Nankan (Hands of the eight divinations: Barrier). 1/14.
Rank: “C” Rank.

Effect: Speeds up the user by two 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.

Rank: “A” Rank.

Effect: The user performs the daikaiten, amplifying it into an offensive and defense technique combination by running razor-sharp strands of chakra on the outer ends of the technique.
Special: ---
Drawback: The strands are small, and are only capable of striking the opponent if the opponent is caught within the initial release of the daikaiten or attempts to run straight into it.
Description: Many people of the Hyuuga clan have often considered their kaiten technique to be the most powerful and important technique within the entire Hyuuga branch. This ability works to amplify that effect, turning a technique normally meant to be used in a defensive manner into an offensive technique. As the user begins their rotation, they will focus upon the edges of the kaiten, creating a multitude of strands that ride upon the edges of the kaiten. These strands, which cover the entire surface of the kaiten, are razor sharp and are capable of cutting through stone. The range of the kaiten does not increase, meaning that in order to attack an opponent, they must get caught within the expansion of the chakra.

Any creature and structure that finds itself in the area of effect suffer 60 armour points of piercing damage. If a structure's width is completely immersed in the area of effect, it takes double damage.
Limit: Must know water release.


Wall of water [kage bunshin 1]. Range: 105 meters. Radius: 35 meters. Bludgeoning damage: 37 armour points.
Rank: “B” Rank.
Skill: Ninjutsu.
Effect: User creates a wall or ring of water to deal damage and stop targets.
Special: “Handseals”.
Drawback: ---
Description: Range of this technique is 30 meters + 15 meters per class level. Effect is a sheet of water up to 30 meters long per class level or a ring of water with a radius of up to 7 meters radius per class level. Either form is 15 meters high. This technique requires a huge source of water nearby. User creates an opaque, upright wall of water that blocks vision. Creatures trying to pass through the wall take 12 armour points bludgeoning damage + 5 armour points per class level. Additionally, they are pushed back 2 meters. The wall deals double damage to creatures with the fire subtype. If the user evokes the wall so that it appears where creatures are, each takes damage as if trying to pass through the wall. If any 2 meter length of wall takes 60 armour points or more of chakra fire damage in a round, that length evaporates.
Limit: Must know water release.


Hakkeshou: Nankan (Hands of the eight divinations: Barrier). 1/14.
Rank: “C” Rank.
Skill: Taijutsu.
Effect: Speeds up the user by two 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.


Purify jutsu.
Rank: “A” Rank.
Skill: Supplementary.
Effect: User can charge their damaging jutsus with celestial energy that leaves good creatures unharmed.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: This jutsu adds the good descriptor to a jutsu. Furthermore, if the jutsu deals damage, half of the damage is holy damage. For example a normal “C” Rank jutsu does 40 armour points of damage: 20 armour points of fire damage and 20 armour points of holy damage. Thus, creatures immune to fire still potentially take 20 armour points of damage.
Jutsu handseal/Chakra increase: 1/2 Rank.
Limit: Must learn from universal ninjutsu. Must be good aligned.


Hakke: Kamisorikaiten (Eight trigams: Razor divination whirl).
Rank: “A” Rank.
Skill: Taijutsu.
Effect: The user performs the daikaiten, amplifying it into an offensive and defense technique combination by running razor-sharp strands of chakra on the outer ends of the technique.
Special: ---
Drawback: The strands are small, and are only capable of striking the opponent if the opponent is caught within the initial release of the daikaiten or attempts to run straight into it.
Description: Many people of the Hyuuga clan have often considered their kaiten technique to be the most powerful and important technique within the entire Hyuuga branch. This ability works to amplify that effect, turning a technique normally meant to be used in a defensive manner into an offensive technique. As the user begins their rotation, they will focus upon the edges of the kaiten, creating a multitude of strands that ride upon the edges of the kaiten. These strands, which cover the entire surface of the kaiten, are razor sharp and are capable of cutting through stone. The range of the kaiten does not increase, meaning that in order to attack an opponent, they must get caught within the expansion of the chakra.
Limit: Must have daiharichakra. Must have daikaiten. Must be a member of the Hyuuga main family and must learn in the Hyuuga mansion dojo.


Inkaten - Flash point. 1/14 uses.

Depending on the user's movements depends on how many times a user are able to perform this attack. The user is also capable of adding in the technique gosei ryuu: ryusen (dragon strike) within each strike making a more devastating attack. Depending on the user's knowledge of gosei ryuu: ryusen (dragon strike) depends on the strength of the force that comes within each attack.

Boil the 2 standard-shots of corpse skink meat through a filtration and apply all ingredients with the mulungu resin using a ceration. Allow the mulungu resin to harden.

Creature we are looking for:


Cat Sith
Rank: ""
Type: Uncommon, Tiny, Mystical Beast
Effect: This slinky black feline has a single white spot on its chest. Its mannerisms and movements are eerily human.
Special: Preparation: ---; Duration: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: This slinky black feline has a single white spot on its chest. Its mannerisms and movements are eerily human. Cat siths are inscrutable feline creatures that inhabit highlands around towns and cities. They resemble common housecats at a glance, but cat siths are supernatural beings that have the cunning of civilized races and strange magical powers rivaling those of fey. They're capable of easily walking balanced on just their hind legs and wearing boots. They can carry one object in their front paws when walking bipedal, though they cannot manipulate such objects with the fine control required to use weapons, wands, and similar objects. Unpredictable yet sophisticated, these strange beings use their unassuming appearances to infiltrate civilized areas, either serving as spies for powerful Chakra users or entertaining their own unknowable agendas. Many cultures fear cat siths and tell myths about their otherworldly powers. Cat siths are heavier than most housecats, weighing between 25 and 30 pounds. A cat sith is nearly 2 feet long from its nose to the base of its tail. A cat sith can bite for 2 armour points of damage while claw for 2 (while dealing no luck damage). No Luck is a special ability all cat sith can perform. A creature hit by a cat sith's claws must succeed at a will save 10 + 2 per Class Level + Impeccable Will or be stricken with lucklessness. For 1d4 rounds, the affected creature cannot benefit from any Luck Bonus. Once per day they can perform what is called False Curse as a "C" Rank weaving movement. the target must be within 20 meters and ust be able to see the cat sith to be affected by the false curse (10 + 2 per Class Level + Impeccable Will). An affected creature takes a -4 to Saves, and -20 to Skill checks. Because this effect is not a true curse, the target gains a new Save to end the effect at the beginning of each day. This is a language-dependent, mind-affecting effect that can be affected by Cleanse Curse. A Cat Sith can learn Ghost Sound, Hypnotism, Rest Eternal, and Chakra Aura.

[Skulking Shinzu]

Your ears fill with the sound of pure agony as blunt rain shifts into razor sharp droplets. Although steam now hides the stalker from view, the sound of pain in his trembling voice suggests to you that he is still within the bounds of your crippling razor rain. “Damn it… Damn it…” Mutters the hidden stalker with a weak chant. A combination of both rainfall techniques seems to have stopped him within his tracks. However, your assault is not over quite yet.

Taking the initiative, you watch as your buttohira unleashed a palm-shaped vortex of air that rips away all the steam along the path. Revealed, a blood-soaked figure is hit by the full force of the strike, which rips apart his torn cloak to reveal a pale skinned figure with long spindly legs and a pair of pointed elf-like ears. The stalker, all so powerful while hidden, seems nothing more than a harmless magician as he collapses under the weight of your strike. Not onto his knees, but straight onto his face as consciousness leaves him along with the blood escaping from the countless cuts along his body. Having underestimated your strength, you note that the elfen creature is likely a minute away from death at most.

Meanwhile, curse, spell, or Genjutsu - whatever the source, you note that the influence over the Cat Sith is broken. Slowly but surely, you notice several of the horde snapping their heads from side to side in confusement as they attempt to wake those of their kin that are still unconscious.
