Food Against Pred

[jintai]

Jin was awaiting on a tree branch in the forest of the Fire country towards the land of Tea. He was taking a rest on the branch of the massive 20m trees and looked around seeing many more like it that were about 10m thick wide themselves. All of the branches of the trees were near the bottom or near the top of the trees and were all about 4m thick in size.All the trees were close together and closely intertwined making travel through tree top extremely easy to do. Other than that it recently rained in the area making the ground below very muddy and the tree's very slippery if one didn't watch their step. There was nothing but forest in all directions as far as the eye could see.

He carried his  50 lb rifle crossbow locked and loaded with a bolt already in place with a medium clip filled with 5 slots of Togari-ya arrow heads with basic shafts and leather fletching. Overall he had 3 clips with 150 bolts of that one type of arrow the other two in his type 2 utility belt.

S

triding into the forest as if he owned it with Sir Pounce'a'lot in tow, the Godaime would check his weaponry one last time. His battle fan was tucked in the blue sash around his waist along with his daisho of a wakizashi and katana, denoting his noble rights. His gas mask with E-type filter was also tucked in there at his back, hidden from sight along with his zooming goggles (equipped with anti-flash lenses, lie detector lenses, X-ray vision and a condition viewing vision). His cobalt haori was littered with items, as were a three butt bags, one at each side and one on his back. The sash hid the utility belt inside, which too was filled with items. All together the arsenal was huge, consisting of 16 kunai, 4 smoke grenades, 4 stun grenades, 14 fragmentation grenades, 3 blood clot pills, 4 soldier pills, two wireless radios, 2 small scrolls, 20 senbon all with exploding tags attached and then another 18 exploding tags. Together in one bag he carried an arrest kit consisting of 2 rigid manacles with impossible to pick locks, a similarly difficult to pick padlock, 1 meter of chain and 9 zipties. Finally his lockpick set held his doorbusting arsenal, which consisted of 6 torsion wrenches and 13 picks. Around his left wrist he carried an ornate gold and lapis lazuli bracelet that contained 57 senbon. They were cleverly hidden in the designs of the accessory, disguising it as a normal piece of jewellery. He checked the PIP-boy on his left arm, they were still well within the Country of Fire, yet still, only thirty meters in front of him his eyes spotted a ninja from the Village Hidden in the Sand, his mere presence was an insult. Straightening an almost imaginary crease in his white Kosode and Hakama the Godaime would look up at the other attempting to hide from him in the trees. "I see you! Do not worry, I will not fight you, I have minions to do that for me." The Godaime said, walking backwards away from the opponent, leaving Sir Pounce'a'lot in place to deal with the intruder...

[jintai]

Jin turned to see the old man riding a giant spider. He said something about his minions taking him on as he backed away leaving the spider. Already being pissed off in his couch he aimed his rifle crossbow at the spider before pulling the trigger in a quick rhythm so fast he fired of 2 arrows. The first arrow was going to fly straight towards the spider's upper part of it's left head the second arrow in it's shadow would fly slightly lower to the right of it's face.

Jin would immediately start running down the tree sending chakra to his feet running as fast as possible to stick to the surface of the tree. He would have ran to other side and down to be in the blindspot of both the man and the spider not able to reload.Jin would be prepared to jump to a nearby tree to get away since the branches and trees were so close together but it also offered a advantage to his opponent as well to move easily instead of the muddy ground below.

Techniques

Shadow Arrow
Rank: "C"
Skill: TaiJutsu/Supplementary
Effect: The user launches 2 arrows in quick succession, the second arrow tracing in the exact shadow of the first one.
Special: ---
Drawback: Only works within 1st Range Increment.
Description: A technique that allows the user to shoot 2 arrows at rapid succession that allows the 1st arrow to hide the second arrow. The 2nd arrow is a shadow that makes it un-noticeable allowing the 2nd arrow to normally hit the opponent if the first does not hit. This technique sacrifices a Rapid Shot so the user has the choice of performing Rapid Shot or Shadow of Arrow. If user has Improved Rapid Shot then they are able to perform both techniques in the same round, or 2 Shadow Arrow techniques. If user has Quick Aim this technique works with Far Shot.
Limit: Must be a Marksman. Must know Rapid Shot.


Kinobori no Waza - Act of Tree Climbing
Rank: "C"
Skill: NinJutsu/Supplementary
Effect: Allows a Non-Ninja the ability to perform Advanced chakra techniques.
Special: ---
Drawback: Non Ninjas must learn in order to learn Advanced chakra techniques. Ninjas gain this technique for free in the beginning however does not add into Character Class like other starting techniques. Does not work on Animal Companions.
Description: Kinobori no Waza, the art of tree climbing serves a dual purpose. Taking part in Kinobori Shugyou (Tree Climbing Training) helps a ninja learn how to focus their chakra. It also teaches the ninja how to run up trees and walk on vertical walls. The training helps the ninja learn how to focus just the right amount of chakra to a particular part of their body. The amount needed to climb is small but it must be precise. The feet are regarded as the hardest location to master chakra focusing. So by gaining the art of this skill, the ninja will have any jutsu available (theoretically) because they will be able to focus their chakra as needed. Allows a user to learn up to "C" Rank Chakra related Techniques.
Limit: Universal NinJutsu Technique.

P

lonk, plonk! Harmlessly two projectiles would hit the spider, glancing off harmlessly when they hit the hard exoskeleton of the arachnid. It did not seem particularly worried as it started to chew some silk, skittering in the direction of the attacker as soon as Jin would start to move, allowing itself to be led not by its eyes, but by the tiniest vibrations it sensed. When you are ten meters long however, every step takes one several meters in the direction taken, so it would be but the blink of an eye before the creature would manage to reach the bottom of the tree where Jin had taken refuge.

Rather than directly engaging the youth the creature would raise its right front paw, swiping it from the right to the left with incredible force at carapace height, blowing out a semicircle section at the base taking out a chunk that would reach to the core of the wood. Once that was removed and the entire thing was unstable it was simply a matter of digging its hind paws into the soil, placing the front set against the bark, just above the indent. Leaning its full sixteen tons against the tree it would attempt to topple the entire thing with Jin still on the stem. He would perhaps be out of sight, but if the boy would not jump in this state he would be crushed between this tree and the one in front of it and in the case he would be crushed between the tree in front of it and this tree. Just being out of sight on the other side of the tree would not help in this case.

Name: "Durable Carapace"
Rank: C, B, A, S-ranked
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: A Jutsu that is used where shelled or armored creatures gain a stronger carapace, enabling the creature to endure stronger and stronger techniques.
Special: ---
Drawback: Depending on the Rank the animal learns this technique depends how strong the carapace of the animal becomes. Damage stack against the creature's carapace, which can eventually break, and expose a softer and weaker dermis (So if the animal take a C-ranked hit, while having B-ranked armor, their armor is now a C-ranked less is durability until the end of a fight). A animal with Durable carapace, cannot have "Hardened Skin" (for snake).
Description: Animals are often born with a dense shell, or armored hides, as a means of defense against predators. Through repeated damage and impact, the body of the creature can bolster forth a hardy armor, which has weathered through various attacks throughout it's life. The creature can add the rank of this technique, plus their current rank as a creature for the total amount of defense they can gain. So when the creature learns the "C-ranked" version of this technique, they are capable of enduring one "C" Ranks of Jutsu, plus their own rank of dense before it feels the full effect. (If the "C-ranked" version of this technique learned by a "C-ranked animal" can withstand 2 "C-ranked" attacks). This carries on till "S-ranked".
Limit: Must be a animal with a dense armored body.

Name: "Armor Grazing"
Rank: C-ranked
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: Allows a armored creature to deflect certain solid projectiles with their armor.
Special: ---
Drawback: Can only be used as many times as the animal has trained within this technique and it capped off at a certain amount. Must have a the respective rank of "Durable carapace" for this technique to work. Attacks must be solidified, and non-elemental. The same drawbacks as "Durable carapace" still apply.
Description: Using their dense armor to their advantage, a creature may use their carapace in a skilled defense play. When a projectile is thrown at a creature, their may use the armored portion of their bodies to deflect an oncoming attack. Rather than absorb the full brunt of a projectile, the carapace of the creature can allow the projectile to graze off the surface, reducing damage by a larger degree than taking on the attack head on. The creature can take on a attack, that is one rank under their "Durable carapace" technique, and receive half the damage from the attack. So if the creature has the "C-ranked" version of Durable carapace, they may reduce the damage of thrown objects, which have a "D-ranked" value by half. When first learned, they may use this technique three time in battle. Every time relearned, they gain two more uses of this technique, maxing out at 9.
Limit: Durable carapace "C-ranked"

Name: Sensing feet
Rank: C-ranked
Skill: Taijutsu, passive
Effect: Allows the insect or insect clan member to feel vibrations in the surface that the insect or insect clan member is standing on.
Special: ---
Drawback: If the insect feels more than ten different strong vibrations at the time it all becomes a blur and the vibration sensing capability is effectively nullified due to the confusion.
Description: The natural ability that many insects have to feel vibrations with their feet is very limited. Most insects can only feel very few vibrations and only in a very close range. As an insect exceeds the normal size of insects this way of sensing gets gradually less important. But through carefully practising this an insect is able to hone his sensing skills and gain a deep understanding of sensing vibrations. When learned, an insect is capable of sensing even the smallest of vibrations on the earth, like a very silent and soft footstep. The radius at which insects can sense these vibrations when learning this is four times the body length of the insect. If you is into a clan that deals with insects it is also possible to learn this, but you must be really experienced at using insect techniques in order to be attuned enough with your 'inner insect' before being able to do this. If you are a insect clan member the maximum range of this technique is twenty meters. Your feet must also have a direct connection to the surface you are standing on, aka, bare feet.
Limit: Must be a medium or larger insect to learn, or into a clan that deals with insects.

Tetsu Tekken (Iron Fist) (7 Uses)
Rank: "C"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A Brawler's true capabilities is within his fists and legs. The Brawler is capable of hitting as if his fists were gauntlets themselves. They say a Brawler's punch is like being smacked by a bull and that is where these power attacks come to play. Those who get hit by a Brawler's Iron Fist feel a knock back effect depending on the user's class.
Special: ---
Drawback: The user is only capable of performing this attack so many times per day depending on how many times the user knows this technique as well as the Class level of the user.
Description: When the user first learns this technique they are capable of performing this technique a total of five times per day as well as any other technique that is in conjunction of the Iron Fist. Every time this technique is learned the user is capable of performing this technique as well other techniques into conjunction one more time. This means that if a user learns this technique twice they are capable of performing this technique a total of six times. Depending on how well and how strong the user is by Class, the user is capable of performing the technique with devastating power. The higher the class is the more devastating the attack will be creating a more sufficient way of breaking one's bones.
D Class - Five Meters Knock back
C Class - Fifteen Meters Knock back
B Class - Twenty Five Meters Knock back - 10% Chance Bones may Break
A Class - Forty Meters Knock back - 30% Chance Bones may Break
S Class - Sixty Meters Knock back - 50% Chance Bones may Break

Limit: Must be a Brawler

While running down the tree a chunk of the tree was blown out below him. He slowed to a stop thinking that the spider was back. All of a sudden the tree tumbled forward as Jin keeled on the tree as it tumbled over. It was too late before he smashed in to the other tree screaming as he was crushed to death and slumped dropping his rifle crossbow.
