Controlled Soul Rank: "D" Skill: NinJutsu Effect: User's soul can adapt souls to temperatures normal people could not handle. Special: --- Drawback: --- Description: A personal or touched based technique. Works on 1 creature at a time. Duration of the Jutsu is 5 hours per Class Level. A creature protected by Controlled Soul suffers no harm from being in a hot or cold environment. It can exist comfortably in conditions between -50 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit (-45 and 60 degrees Celsius). The creature's equipment is likewise protected. Controlled Soul des not provide any protection against other environmental hazards such as smoke, lack of air, and so forth. User also gains 10 fire and cold resistance (this stacks with any they may have already). Limit: Must be a Soulcaster.
Kuroki with all his basis in being seeped in the lore and actuality of spirits felt himself becoming more intune with his own soul. He was becoming one with his soul and he was learning how to naturally bolster himself through that connection. The very first thing he learned was how to control his comfort level with his bonds to his soul. Doing this sounded easier said than done but for him it was natural.
By controling his connection to his soul his body feels the external tempatures less. For feeling was a connection of the body and not of the soul. By making the connection less of a two way conversation when it comes to tempatures he could lessen the feelings of cold or heat for that matter. And his connection to his soul was so strong that he had no problem feeling that connection.
And it wasn't percisely chakra he was using either to have the energy to produce this effect. It was some other spiritual energy, that of his eternal soul that allowed him such access. He figured it was from his outer body experience that gave him such a connection to himself. For before it was a distant feeling that he knew he had. But now the feeling was so close that he could almost touch the connections.
Kuroki was so proud of his transendance of normal human limitations even though it was a limited boost. He could feel that if he strengthen his ties to the spiritual realm, he could get so much stronger. He just needed to study and exercise the connection until it was strong like his jutsus. It seemed to operate on a similar basis as to his studies on the nature of energy said chakra would.
Kuroki knew that the limits of the soul were just the limits the mind placed on it. So to expand his horizons he must leave behind the physical limitations behind. But this would take study and meditation. Like all things time and effort are keys to making anything stronger. And he was going to place more time improving his spiritual connection. For Kuroki was a spiritual person by nature anyways.

Lofted Stride Rank: "D" Skill: NinJutsu Effect: User gains the ability to walk on water and do it silently. Special: --- Drawback: --- Description: User's soul grabs hold of their body and holds it just off of the ground making their movements much more quiet. The target of this Jutsu is personal. Duration is 5 hours per Class Level. By performing this Jutsu the user gains the effects of walking on any liquid as if it were firm ground. Mud, oil, snow, quicksand, running water, and even lava can be traversed easily, since the subjects’ feet hover an inch or two above the surface. (Creatures crossing molten lava still take damage from the heat because they are near it.) The subjects can walk, run, charge, or otherwise move across the surface as if it were normal ground. Does not leave footprints. User also gains a +10 per Class Level to Stealth due to the silent running. Limit: Must be a Soulcaster.
Kuroki also figured out another use for his connection to his soul pretty quickly, and this was similar to the walking on water for chakra control. But this had better uses than the chakra form of this movement. For he notices his feet don't actually touch the water, it actually hovers over the water. Even more so because it isn't a force like he knows it was also a very quiet movement.
This was perfect for how he wanted to be able to move so he practiced getting his connection just right. For it required a strong tether to one own soul to get it right. And Kuroki was going to get it right with his connections to the spirit. Basically his own soul acts as a counter balancing force against gravity while over liquids. This amazing ability is just a side effect of strengthening his soul.
It still required some concentration and energy to maintain that strong connection but his spirit could manipulate his body in new ways like this water walking. And it wouldn't distrub the water or leaf foot prints. The perfect thing for a shinobi who hopes to go unnoticed in this realm of the supernatural. And it took so little energy he could literally do that for hours at a time.
Kuroki was a spiritualist by both nature and by experience anymore so gaining benefits from it was natural to him. And it helped that he continuously worked on his connections to make those benefits work for him. It wasn't the reason he chose this path but he liked this aspect of the path on which he had set himself. Kuroki praised his ancestors and the spirits that helped him.
He also glared at the Y'la for it was that creature that made him be held back for so long. But then his look soften for the creature was also the reason why he went into the spiritual route. So he guessed he should thank it for his new found abilities. But he was having a hard time when the creature was such a nuisance. But either way now he had the ability to walk silently over water.

Curse Sense Rank: "C" (Always at least 20 TP) Skill: Supplementary Effect: A Pulverem can sense aura of the cursed. Special: --- Drawback: --- Description: A Pulverem gains a precise awareness of the subtle auras given off by a cursed object or creature. A Pulverem detects cursed creatures (including creatures carrying cursed objects) within 10 meters. In addition, they can automatically determine if a Chakra Item is cursed by sight, without the need for a Lore Check. Limit: Must be a Pulverem.
As he was gaining a oneness with his soul, his Y'la actually spoke to him in more than an annoying teasing way. Kuroki looked at his Y'la with a sideways expression, for he was very suspious of his Y'la. He was wonderign what his Y'la was yattering about, so he paused his other training to have a sit down with it once more. The last time they had a good conversation was when he learned to see it, and made a deal.
His Y'la was telling him in feelings and impressions that he senses actually could be more intune to the world around him and it was willing to teach him. Kuroki was wondering what the Y'la was talking about. For he knew he wasn't talking about any physical sense. It must be a supernatural sense like his ability to see and find spirits or his connection to his soul. It was an interesting notice the Y'la was bringing to him.
Kuroki was wary that he should accept this spontaneous offer from the Y'la but then again they were tied by fate. So maybe this new sense had something to do with that. He knew that having another extra sense would be an advantage for him. He didn't know what form or the hows or whys of the sense but he knew every advantage counts. So Kuroki thought over the offer.
Little Kuroki knew that his constant exposure and working with the Y'la was strengthening his ties to the spiritual realm. The Y'la were personal luck spirits with a choatic streak, and his more than most it would seem. His even considering accepting the offer and his relationship with the Y'la were attuning him to the realms in which the Y'la worked. Kuroki literally just needed to learn how to use his new sense.
So Kuroki finally agreed to learn from his Y'la. A stranger would think Kuroki was talking to himself as only Kuroki could see his Y'la, it didn't even rate on his spiritual sense which was odd but then again Y'la didn't follow any rules. But his Y'la was being helpful for once so he shrugged and sat before his Y'la. Any good lesson starts with explaining the basics so to the basics he was going.

Curse Sense Rank: "C" (Always at least 20 TP) Skill: Supplementary Effect: A Pulverem can sense aura of the cursed. Special: --- Drawback: --- Description: A Pulverem gains a precise awareness of the subtle auras given off by a cursed object or creature. A Pulverem detects cursed creatures (including creatures carrying cursed objects) within 10 meters. In addition, they can automatically determine if a Chakra Item is cursed by sight, without the need for a Lore Check. Limit: Must be a Pulverem.
Kuroki sat down for his lesson and listen to his Y'la speak to him. It didn't help that they didn't understand each other in words. His Y'la couldn't keep a straight face or keep on topic. Kuroki and a little trouble keeping up but eventually puzzled out what the Y'la was meaning, which he would gain a sense of curses. He would gain it sensing the Y'la that enforce it. He wouldn't be able to see the other Y'la just sense their auras or lingering presence on a person or item.
Kuroki nodded in the right parts and after awhile it was time for him to try to use it. He closed his eyes and tried to keep an open mind and use a sense beyond his basic five. But beyond that it had a different quality than his spiritual sense, this was darker but at the same time not. For it was a sense of luck that had turned or someone who has been wronged in horrible ways.
Kuroki concentrated on this sense for it could be an advantage even if it was of limited use now. With his eyes closed he was pushing his senses as hard as he could to attune himself properly to it. it was not an easy process at all for it was like an elemental attunement to to element at all. With deep breaths he was getting more and moe attune to the new sense awakening as he was exposed to his own curse.
It was a ten meter bubble that he could sense out to. But so far it was an empty bubble for the most part because besides himself nothing was cursed. And even now his curse had changed to where it was moe bad luck for others than himself. Basically his presence was a curse to others, it was one of the reasons he was abandoned. He found that long ago after his training as a shinobi, both of his parents had abandoned him but then died.
Kuroki shook the sad memory away and open his eyes and looked down at himself. HE had a eerie shade to himself which was probably from looking at himself through his expanded senses. He shook the image away and closed his eyes to clear itaway. He then reopened his eyes and nodded to his Y'la. It was one of teh few times the creature had come in handy in recent memory.

Soul Sliver Rank: "C" Skill: NinJutsu Effect: User makes a 3 inch copy of themselves. Special: --- Drawback: --- Description: Takes a Full round to perform. Target is Personal. Range is Personal. Duration is 5 hours per Class Level. User splits off a small piece of their soul it gathers up energy creating a small copy of themselves. By performing this Jutsu the user makes a 3 inch copy of themselves it looks thinks and acts just like the user. It uses the user's Class Level Movements and Abilities (Saves/Handseals, etc.) but is treated as a Fine Size Category Creature. It takes Light Wound of Damage to perform this Jutsu. This health cannot be regained until the Soul Sliver is dismissed or Destroyed. It uses the user's skill checks and grants a +50 Difficulty to Opponent's Observation Checks. Its voice is not much more than a whisper when shouting. It cannot perform Chakra/Chakra Jutsus but it does get the Searing Soul ability though it only has a range of 1/10th while doing only 1 Armour Point of Damage. User can have only one Soul Sliver at a time and it has a copy of the same gear as the user but non-Chakra. Limit: Must be a Soulcaster.
Kuroki decided to try something with his soul that will be painful but a good scouting trick. He was going to shave off a small portion of it to create a miniature him for scouting. But the process was unknown to him so it was going to take a bit to puzzle out. Since there was no one he knew that did the things he could, it was up to him to fiure it out himself. But he figured it wouldn't be much different than clone jutsu.
He sat in his living room and meditated until his mind was on the spiritual plane and not merely in the physical one. He lit candles around the room and communed with his own spiritual self for guidance for what he waned. The acane process of creating a sliver of himself was slowly revealed to him in a cryptic form of flashes of images and impressions. It was similar to how he communicated with his Y'la.
Kuroki concentrated on his soul and how it was whole but in the realm of spirits, it's shappe was what he wills it. It required great will and imagination to reshape one's own spirit much less seperate it. But that was exactly what his goal was so it was what he focused his will to do. He was using the spiritual energy that he learned how to harness to walk on water with and to control his feeling of tempature.
Kuroki was feeling his way through his own spiritual presence. And as time went on he had a more solid idea of how to preceed but it looked he needed injury to self to fuel the other self. And the injury must to be his soul which will stay a wound in his soul until reunited with the sliver. But to create an injury on the spiritual level required so serious effort. For souls are more hearty than the physical body.
Kuroki shook his head for it must be easier than he ws thinking or overthinking it as he was doing. The spiritual realm followed laws of nature like the physical realm does. So maybe he just need to do the equivant of poking his finger with his spiritual self. The only way to know this is true would be to test this out. And how to test it out would forming a spiritual represtation of a needle or something.

10/20 Soul Sliver Rank: "C" Skill: NinJutsu Effect: User makes a 3 inch copy of themselves. Special: --- Drawback: --- Description: Takes a Full round to perform. Target is Personal.

Kuroki figured out just what he needed to do to shave off a piece of his soiul. If this worked right he was in no danger a his soul shard will return to him if destroyed or dismissed. Kuroki had to concentrate on literally forming a shard of himself. It was by far a hard and painful process but he would succeed and get better a it. He closed his eyes to fcus bettert as he put his hand out.
Out of what looked like nothing a minature person was forming in his hand. Only those especially attuned could see him taking a piece of his soul to create the miniture. As he put more of his soul into the small thing the clearer it looked. He was literally making a small version of himself. His template basically was already in the shape of the miitre that was forming.
Kuroki was amazed at how his soul was resilent and could form such things. This was equivalant of mastering a chakra release in his mind. But to him it was even better for the energy wasn't quite chakra. The energy was literally his spiritual energy being transfered. It was a wonderous and interesting process to behold. He was determined to master the spiritual powers he was aquiring.
Anyways a miniture three inch copy of Kuroki stood in Kuroki's hand. It even had miniture versions of the items he carried on him. The miniature him tried a few jutsus to discover it's little body didn't carry enough to produce any affects. It shouted at the bigger Kuroki so it could be heard. It's voice at a shout was like a whisper to the original Kuroki. "So now what big man?"
Kuroki thought about it for a moment and shook his head. He then spoke softly as not to deafen his little counterpart. "Nothing this was a trial run ass you well know. " And with that thought Kuroki concentrated on dismissing the little him and absorbing back te spiritual energy. That was the most interesting 'clone' of hisself that he had ever saw. For this clone was him just smaller.

Eyes of the Planes Rank: "D" Skill: NinJutsu Effect: Gain Low-light vision and see invisible. Special: --- Drawback: --- Description: A personal based technique. Works on 1 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. 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 2 rounds and fade away. Limit: Must be a Soulcaster.
Kuroki knew that his sight and senses were still dulled by the physical realm. He needed to free the tether on his eyes that didn't allow him to see energies. Like most of his spiritual techniques he needed a different kind of focus and strengthening. He had to strengthen the spirit, which isn't the mind but was and wasn't the body but was. For the spirit is the essence of who he was but more than that and no more than that.
It was a very philosopical practice to work on the ties to the spirit. Most got to religion to find answers and end up further than they started. Kuroki however was heading directly to the source of his own spiritual powers, his acutual soul. For some reason after his rebirth he was able to have closer ties to his soul than others around him. And now he was using that connection and closeness to enhance his being.
This particulart time he was helping his eyes see the energies of the world better. By strengthening his ties to the spiritual plane itself more than just his soul. And this connection will allow him to see as creatures of the planes do. For his very souls eyes change, from his understanding his own eyes will change a bit to reflect his new vision. Kuroi communed until that connection was as close as he needed.
Once Kuroki got the connection just right and changed his eyes to reflect a vision of the planes a change came upon him. His eyes lgazed over and then became a solid light Purple color as his eyes became that of the planes. immediately his eyes interpreted light a little more enhanced. He had gained the ability to use light at even a further distance than before but that wasn't the only change to his eyes.
That wasn't the only change to his vision either. Kuroki now could literally see the energies of the world to a degree. For every touch of his hands left a lingering aura on the phsical world. But he normally wouldn't have been able to see this energy but now he could thanks to the spiritual energies running through his eyes. This was what it was like to have a doujutsu he thought, it was amazing.

Dim Rank: "D" Skill: GenJutsu Effect: A jutsu used to dim a light source. Special: "Handseals" Drawback: --- Description: Affects 1 object. The user is able to perform this technique at a distance of 7 meters plus 6 meters per class level. The duration of this technique lasts for 5 minutes per class level. This technique may be disbelieved once interacted with. Target 1 source of illumination, such as a torch or lantern. The target source’s area of illumination is reduced by 3 meters. If this reduces its area of illumination to 0, then the light source is extinguished to anyone who sees it. For instance, a torch that illuminates a 6 meters radius would illuminate only a 3 meters radius while affected by this Jutsu. Limit: Must know the Shadow Perception.
Kuroki with all his little tricks so far hadn't done anything to actually change the battlefield much to his advantage. He figured lowering the presence of laterns and the like should give him an easier time at stealthing his way through a situation. The only thing he could practice on was some old torches he had around the room in scones. So that was what he was going to do to improve himself.
Kuroki played with taking the light from light sources making them much dimmer. Now this would hurt his Nara Clan jutsus as he would cast a smaller shadow but it should help his stealthy ways. He thought being unseen was a better part of an encounter than being seen and having to fight. Now he was prepared for such fights but just perfered to avoid them for as long as possible.
Taking on an opponent and changing their very enviroment to unsettle them and against them was the best methods of attack. You can't get hurt if they can't see you. So Kuroki was dimishing his torches one by one as practice with this particular use of shadows. He would reach out with his shadowy chakra control and basically smother the fire or any other light in shadows.
For the more powerful lights it may not work or only work to dim them. But for the weakest of light sources, now they will fail plunging everyone into darkness. And with his enhanced sight he would be able to see better in dim light than most of his opponents. This would create all sorts of advantages for him in upcoming trials. Kuroki knew the life of a shinobi could be very dangerous so it was better to be the more dangerous.
Kuroki continued dimming lights for awhile longer and then with some satisfaction quit. He released the torches that still burned from his shadows and took back the shadow chakra that he was putting out. And just smiled with a sly smirk of accomplisment. He would be a much better shinobi with using so many elements to his advantage. With that final thought he went to relax for a moment.

Umbral Aura Rank: "C" Skill: GenJutsu Effect: Shadow energies wreathe the subject of this Jutsu in a protective aura that stretches 1 foot from the subject's body. Special: "Handseals" Drawback: --- Description: Affects anyone who sees a willing creature. The user is able to perform this technique on the target they touch. The duration of this technique lasts for 5 hours per class level. Shadow energies wreathe the subject of this Jutsu in a protective aura that stretches 1 foot from the subject's body. This protective aura grants the subject the following benefits: While under the affects of the umbral aura, the subject of the Jutsu acts as if he is 1/4th cover (due to the quasi real nature of the aura) and is considered to be under 1/4th concealment (10% miss chance). In addition, the umbral aura provides the subject a +20 to Stealth checks. The umbral aura does not interfere with the subject's sight. If an opponent attacks with a melee weapon and misses their Will Save by 2 or more, the umbral aura is hit instead and takes damage from the Jutsu used in the attack. Area of effect Jutsus also damage the aura, but as long as the subject fails their Save by more than 1 the aura only takes half/damage. When created the umbral aural has an amount of Armour Points equal to the user’s Armour Points from other Techniques including Temporary Armour Points. Limit: Must know the Shadow Perception.
Kuroki decided to see if he could really stretch his abilities with shadows by making them a defensive aura. He could cover himself in shadows but now i was time to give the shadows a semi solid form around him. He lit the torches around the room to give the room a flickering appearance. He now had light and shadows to use for his techniques as he practiced in this old cavern.
Kuroki concentrated on first gathering the shadows around himself from where ever they may be. He took shadows from everywhere he could see and think of. From under the couch from behing the table. No shadow was to small to pull from and his chakra was infusing the shadows to give them substance. This was the key of this particular kind of genjutsu that it is partially real.
Kuroki took his time gathering and infusing the shadows as he built the substance around him. It only expanded about a meter from him. He was using similar principles to making his skin shadowy, now it was time to make his immediate area as well. But the build up took more chakra and time than using it would take. But that was true for most techniques he could practice with.
The benefits of using an shadowly aura though would be the fact it would be concealment as well as cover. And with it's shadowy shifting nature it could protect most of his body. It wouldn't be as good as a solid wall but it would be still better than nothing. Kuroki was practicing this for that reason. So he gathered until the mass of shadows around him was enough to completely fill the meter radius around him and then gathered more to bring it up and to life.
Kuroki needed quite a bit for this was making Shadows physical, almost like his spectres. But instead of giving the shadows solid shape he is just giving it a quasi real feeling. Manifesting newstuff though was always harder than just simply using what is there. Hence why he was using natural shadows as a base instead of creating them new out of nothing. Kuroki was only in phase one though next would be to make the shadows actually come semi alive.

Kuroki was about ready to raise the shadows into a mass of shifting quasi real stuff to act as concealment and cover. The area a foot around him was seeped in darkness and shadow thanks to his efforts. Those with enhanced sight would see chakra infusing the shadows around him. He was a master an manipulating shadows atthis point with all the work he does with it.
Kuroki raised his arms out wide and called upon his chakra to raised the shadows up from the ground. A Unidentifyable mass began to raise up from the ground around him. It was slowly rising and taking shape as it pulled itself off the ground. It took its time for it took several minutes just to reach his ankles and fill it with the slithering moving mass of shadow stuff. And more chakra was poured into the process to continue it.
Kuroki stood there for several minutes as the shadowy mass climbed up his legs reaching his thighs before long. The fact that half the effect was mental didn't help the situations but the quasi real nature of it made it where he didn't need a specific target. No his target would be anyone who looked at him and first they would have to find him through the shadows. He would make sure that was no easy task.
Kuroki's thoughts were only to making complete this aura he was building. Still the mass climbed up him now reaching chest height. It was slowly clibing it's way out of the realms in which shadows dwell to become manifest to his will. And to his will it was bound because his chakra animated it. The aura works because he wills it to work and now it was climbing to over his head and even a foot above.
Once it reached there he was basically complete. Kuroki looked at the mass of shadows around him with a smile. It seemed that the shadows wouldn't affect his vision just those that it targets. This was a good side effect of this particular technique. Kuroki marveled at his shadows for a few more moments before dimissing it. He didn't need to maintain it at this point but it was nice to have.

Pre-Sight Rank: "D" Skill: NinJutsu Effect: Allows vision into the past. Special: --- Drawback: --- Description: Target is a personal Jutsu. Range is Personal. Duration is Instantaneous. Life energy exists without time and when a Soulcaster uses this ability they can see that energy as it is laid out. In the time frame of half a round, the user can see 5 minutes per Class level into the past within the area of their viewing as if they were there. Limit: Must be a Soulcaster.
Kuroki was messing with his connections to his soul again but this time it was for even further enhancing his sight. Reading through dusty scrolls of the library, Kuroki learned that a few others in the way past had similar abilities. One of the abilities displayed by those of the past was the ability to see into the past. How they did that he didn't know but he was going to figure it out.
Kuroki first started by strengthening his connections again to his soul. For his soul was much clearer sighted than his physical body. He knew that would be the likely first step to gain such an abiliy. The ability to pierce the veils of time would probably be no easy matter but Kuroki was strong willed and persistant. So in his living room he communed with his own spirit trying to borrow its power.
Kuroki realized the energies of life which were in a sense the spiritual energy he was communing with and using. And such energy acted without regard for time and so by having a connection to the energy he should tap into that a bit. Basically he woul doverlay his eyes with the ability to see the energy as it is and as it was. For since it is out of time so would his vision of it.
Kuroki gained his connection that he was going for. And when he did he could see back into time, not far mind you but back. He could only see a few minutes back in time. And it was confusing overlayed images over each other. He had to interpret the energy signatures and give them references of time. Since the veil he was peering through has no time, it was introducing a concept foriegn to it.
It was a puzzle though his mind was up for. The challenge was solved by working backwards and dismissing what was known of the past. He had to work through the layers of energy as it over layed each other with each movement made. He could only puzzle out about ten minutes into the past when it was all said in done, but in time he should gain skill in his interpretations of the past.
