Ryutatsu "Sakurai Sword"

Atsui Usumaku (Transitional Membrane)
Rank: D, C, B, A
Skill: Ninjutsu, Supplementary
Effect: The user is capable of controlling the thickness of their transitional membrane. This technique is mandatory for all under the Hozuki bloodlimit. This is because it grants them their survival in battles and harsh weather conditions.
Special: ---
Drawback: Switching from ranks that are not next to each other takes 1 post (You cannot instantly switch from D rank thickness to B rank.). One can only switch their rank up or down one time per post.
Description:
During training, the user is capable of adjusting and altering their internal water pressure in their bodies. Doing so results in an increased density of their outer membrane. Chakra released from their nuclei protrusions allows water to be pressurized in a certain way underneath their transitional membrane thus resulting in the thickening and solidification of their skin. In order to switch from a higher rank of thickness to a lower, the user must decrease the amount of chakra released from their nuclei protrusions. Also, the user leaves their palms and the soles of their feet remain permeable (D ranked), thus allowing the usage of the water inside of them no matter what rank their in.

D ranked: Very thin and moist layer of skin. This is the default layer of skin the Hozuki are normally in. Under this rank, the skin is most permeable, meaning they are able to absorb large amounts of water. Although they feel no physical pain, ninjutsu and genjutsu based attacks can affect them. Also, this skin is not suggested for harsh weather conditions. Exceedingly hot or cold weather can evaporate them or freeze them easily..

C ranked: Under this rank, the transitional membrane is a similar thickness to that of the human skin. Can withstand any kind of weather conditions a human could. Since skin is more solidified, physical assaults on a Hozuki are more effective.

B ranked: Under this rank, the water within their bodies is pressurized by chakra to the point in which it resembles a rock like thickness and texture. An Hozuki under this rank becomes stronger when landing physical attacks by half the rank of the attack they are using (a D rank punch gets an extra E rank damage added on). Speed is decreased by half a movement.

A ranked: Under this rank, the water within their bodies are at the highest point of pressurization in which resembles a metal like thickness and texutre. An Hozuki under this rank becomes stronger when landing physical attacks by half the rank of the attack they are using. Speed is decreased by a full movement. Limbs are less prone to breaking. This state can only last for 3 posts before going back to D ranked thickness because it consumes a large amount of chakra.

So once again Minh was alone on Hearts day? Big deal? Nope. She didn't care really. She was only walking around trying to figure out what she even wanted to do for the holiday week. Everything was all weird now. The sky in its magical aura spectrum could only mean that something odd was going to happen. In the main blurr of thoughts Minh's only worry was training right now. All she really wanted was some time to herself. Some of the Mist males and females asked if she wanted to spend some time together with them, but she declined. Simply wasn't up to it. She had her water bottle belt, full stocked with what she could hold as usual. Her Bo-staff was holstered onto her back diagonally across. She had on an arrangement of "clothing",but her bust no matter what was large. So for that reason she didn't normally care what she wore, cause truthfully she isn't wearing anything. It is all made out of her water body.

What she looks like:


The chakra within her nucleus system was flowing strong. As she walked around, looking around the foreign and highly dangerous land that she was in. The Land of Thunder. What Hozuki would ever want to be here. Of course Hozuki isn't a clan so, most don't really know one until you see one. She isn't human. Only made to look like one. She looked around, and tried to find someplace to be alone. Her body wasn't used to this atmosphere so she focused on making her chakra connect with it, as if she had normal human attributed.

The pressure of the water, being changed to fill in more of her volume. In short, she looked like a normal early aged woman. A woman standing at 5,10 in height. Her weight was irrelevant cause well...she was water. But she had a tint of tan for her "skin", but was mostly pale-ish. Her clothing was assorted to be a blue short tank top, to cover her DD breasts. How she had breasts that stay that way she doesn't know. In general she had the body of an athlete. Her thighs the strongest part of her, as she focused more on taijutsu that involved kicks so her punches could be surprise attacks.

Sword taijutsu was a natural interest due to her interest in Mist village history and culture. As a medic she was fond of anatomy, and appreciate having a healthy looking body. She was no model in training Just a water/jelly girl trying to live as "normal" as possible. She looked pretty over all. If the viewer can get their eyes off her bust that is, then maybe you would notice these things. Her water molecules were tightening as she, would have found a dojo somewhere, in a quiet part of this unknown land she found herself in. Somewhere in the Land of Thunder she knew that. Not sure where though. She wasn't completely set, though to pretend to be a human, but she was getting there soon enough. Hopefully she'd be able to practice with one of this swords though. She was never good with them anyhow. "Hello?" She'd call out softly to see if anyone was here first.

Hana Ninpou: Hana Katana (Flower Ninja Art: Flower Sword)
Rank: "B"
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Causes a great amount of flower petals to condense around the user’s hand to form a regular length katana composed of the petals.
Special: Hand Seals
Drawback: Causes an extra E rank chakra expenditure every turn that the sword is maintained.
Description: There are times whenever the Ikebana would be caught without a weapon. In these situations, the flower ninja can perform this technique. Upon completing the hand seals and extending their hand outwards, the user will cause a great number of flowers around them to rise forward and condense into a powerful cutting weapon. Infused with the user’s chakra, the sword will be sharp and sturdy, capable of matching against their steel brethren easily. However, the Ikebana will also have a huge advantage over the opponent, as the weapon, composed out of flower petals, is significantly lighter than other weapons.
Limit: Must be in the Ikebana Clan. Must know Petal Blades

Ryutatsu had been out and about looking for another quiet place to practice his Kenjutsu. His glade while wonderful most of the time felt to confining for him. And the Senri Lightning Dojo was to crowded during this time of day. So here was an eight year old running around outside his village looking for a quiet place to train when he hears something. He heard someone call hello out. It was a voice he had not heard before.

His five foot seven frame had been lightly armed for him. So this interruption was a dangerous thing for him, but being the straightforward person that he was he investigated. On a Sheath on his back was Nightin Gale, this masterpiece was obvious with his decorated copper plated sheath and skillfully crafted dark leather hilt. is main arm was odd in it having some sort of bracer gauntlet, Maybe to help his gripping of the sword, who knows. Otherwise though he was in his usual apparel. He was in a Pant shirt combination of shinobi make with goggles on his head and his village plate hanging around his neck.

He certainly was well armed though for being lightly equipped with pair of knives and kunai in a leg holster. His tactical vest was what was unusually empty with only several pouches of seeds and Metal shavings. He had been concentrating on making some bloomed flowers around him to combine to make a new sword for him. But he was having a harder time with that than he expected.

He couldn't get flower petals to make a good sword like he could the rose that was on his vest lapel. But that was what he had been doing way out here in the woods away from the village and dojo. His eyes immediately adopted the white dots of his own clan heritage as he moved along the path that branches made. He was at home in the tall trees of this land, ever since he left the desert of the Wind Country he has been fascinated by trees. And this particular stand was in full bloom with flowers as if to celebrate the season of couples.

Either way he say the person, woman who called out. He wasn't surprise someone had called out upon hearing him as much as someone was here. "Hello to you as well. " He didn't recognize her as one of his village which made her extremely dangerous in these times. So he continued to concentrate as they talked with a hand held to the side. One could see flowers swirling around him especially his arm as he spoke.

Sutatikku Nou (Static Awareness)
Rank: B
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Allows a member of the Kyoudo blood limit to manipulate and control electrostatic charges even out of their range of sight, in their personal static field.
Special: -
Drawback: One can only use this ability if it is in the range of their own electrostatic field. Only useful if one has trained Kyori Keiko a number of times. All manipulation of sensed objects is still, of course, limited by the other Kyoudo techniques.
Description: Normally one can only use their Sutatikku Nagare ability on objects they can see. However with much training and experience eventually a member of the Kyoudo become so attuned with their static field that they can 'feel' objects around them. All objects in nature carry an electrical charge even if it's at zero. An experienced Kyoudo can sense such things and manipulate them as long as it is within their own static field. This grants the user the ability of complete static awareness in their field. This is directly correlated to the amount of times one has learned Kyori Keiko (Distance Training).
Limit: Sutatikku Nagare (Static Current) ability, 500 tp in the Kyoudo clan. Once you have 500 TP of Kyoudo jutsus, this is automatically "learned".

Sutatikku Nagare (Static Current) (20 Meters) (25 Rounds)
Rank: "C"
Skill: Kekkai Genkai Ninjutsu
Effect: Allows the user to manipulate electrostatics and electric charges.
Special: Rat, Dragon, Ram, Tiger, Monkey, Dog, Horse, Rabbit once per 5 turns.
Drawback: Objects must be visible. While actively using this ability, the user must remain perfectly still, and no other jutsu may be used while the user is attempting to manipulate charges. Only metallic objects or semi-metallic objects can be manipulated.
Description: Allows the user to manipulate and control electrostatic, which is by definition electricity at rest. This gives the user the ability to move around both positive and negative charges on objects, which, in the end, can result in the ability to either repel or attract objects to and from each other. It must be noted that this jutsu strictly follows the concept of the Conservation of Charges. That means that without influence, all charges within nature are balanced at zero. Only when acted upon do these charges change. This ability is a requirement for all members of the Kyoudo Clan. When the user first gains this ability, they have only the ability to affect one object at a time within five meters of their person. At maximum, the user may move 10% of an object’s positive or negative charges to another object. While actively using this ability, the user must remain perfectly still, and no other jutsu may be used while the user is attempting to manipulate charges. Due to the relative electrical field produced by every person Kyoudo cannot affect people, and due to the low electronegativity of non-metallic objects, only metallic objects can be affected. It is only through mastery over the element of thunder that one can obtain this ability.
Limit: Kyoudo Clan only

Hana Ninpou: Rasenchou no Hanakahen (Flower Ninja Art: Spiraling Dome of Flower Petals)
Rank: "D"
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Creates a dome of spiraling flower petals.
Special: Handseals
Drawback: The technique has no offensive value beyond distracting the opponent. Only lasts for three turns. Weak to fire.
Description: By channeling chakra throughout a mass of flower petals, the user is capable of lifting them up into the air and causing them to float around in circles. The petals move very quickly, around and about in a circle, which can cause a huge distraction inside of a fight. The flowers will circle inside of a dome of chakra that can be no larger than ten meters in diameter for every rank of Difficulty Class that the user has obtained. The dome will remain only for three turns, unless the user obtains mastery over the Ikebana Clan, in which case, the dome will remain for five turns.
Limit: Must be in the Ikebana Clan. Must know Puranto Ninpou: Haeru.

The very Hozuki that stood in this structure, was half on guard, half being a tourist. She was on guard because this is the Land of Thunder, which obviously meant lightning releases running everywhere, which meant high danger for her. The amount of preparation she took to even get the steel nucleus to get her was a taxing process all on its own. Now that she was in fact here, the situation changed to a much more real, slightly frightening setting. Its one of the reasons she was even working to pressurize her body in the first place. She needed to build a formidable defense, as well as sell the part of being only human.

Her lightly shimmering yellow eyes fixed on Ryutatsu when he answered back. Her body would soon follow after. Her pose ending up with her hips off at a tilt to the right, with her right hand resting on it as she looked at him. He look stupidly young, for someone of his height. She was taller by five inches, but still. His face literally was telling her he was younger than he looked. At least he seemed decently nice. Her village headband, was tied to her head with the badge pointing to the right, displaying her affiliation with a village other than hers. She wasn't sure if that could end up, bad but she was going to see it through. Her body after this long was finally in a different state.

The molecules pressed together to form a much more solidified format for her "skin". This was good. Maybe this could help her get somewhere. "Uh...yeah...Well I was only trying to train with using a sword. Didn't feel like being in somewhere boring though. I hope that is okay?" She said, with a teasing smirk at the end. She just realized she was asking a possible child if it was okay to be somewhere. Well, manners serve where thy do.With her new bodily mode in working order, maybe she could grip weapons a little better. She walked over, letting her aqua fingers graze a wooden sword held on the wall. She didn't flow around it. Instead she felt it as if she was actually a fleshie. Neat.

Ryutatsu jumped down from his branches to land near the outer wooded wall of a old cabin. He didn't know that this abandoned dojo was out here. But he guess he shouldn't be completely surprised dojo's used to be a lot more popular in the past if his reading was any indication. He shrugged his shoulders and strained his neck in a way of a stretch. His arm was still held out oddly as flowers came closer and gathered around it.

Ryutatsu was indeed very young but his youth was also levied by his serious nature and hard life. He was a child who has seen to much too quickly and known very little kindness until the most recent year. So it was still a new thing to him to think about people being kind and his face showed that. He had a hard look to his face even as his demeanor was friendly. He was suspicious of this woman of the mist.

He could see her ninja plate now, so she definitely was a new person. He didn't know the politics of their villages but it would be best that he didn't do something to tilt the scale either way. As he took his time in responding to her question as the teasing smirk went over his head. A semi solid sword was forming and breaking apart in his hand. He had been trying to form a sword with flowers before this.

It looked like it would be a good time to test his new creation of a sword if she wanted sword practice. Ryutatsu smiled slightly and nodded at the question finally. "I would train the sword with you here then, if that was your wish. " He did love training Kenjutsu, and this way the status quo stayed the same. If their villages were allies she would report good things, if they were enemies he would learn a few things.

Either way was a win for the young sword master. That was the one detail he failed to let her in on was that he was a sword master of the Busosen art and getting pretty deep on it's brother styles. It would be interesting to see what style this strange woman would use and maybe he could learn a thing or two himself. It would make him that much better at the sword.

The user holds the sword in the middle of the hand, with the tip of the blade pointing behind them.

And, so it was. This being in front of her. The one who was creating a sword right in front of her would claim to be interested in training together. She would eye him for a moment. By now he must have seen the headband. She wasn't hiding it. His intentions seemed okay so far. In all honesty she was more worried about thunder storms than him. Not to be rude of course, its just thunder storms is a big tease for a Hozuki. Tons of fresh water raining down, to relax in, but you have lightning suddenly striking down everywhere? No thanks. That is only a big tease which is so cruel to be trapped in.

Enough about that though. Minh held the wooden weapon with a firm grasp like stated before. So in this sense of the imagination she was already considering his offer. She wasn't exactly sure what she was going to do. But, she noticed that she found a natural sense to want to hold this sword in an unconventional way. So with that she fondled the hilt in her hand, spinning it around 180 degree. So the blade portion was not pointed behind her. She noticed the oddity of holding it this way, but that is why she found herself liking it.

It was then that she noticed some elderly woman in the back counter, whom noticed the sound of voices and such. Way behind Ryutatsu, just...watching them. Minh stared at that woman as she stared back. The senior citizen whom looked like the owner of this dojo only nodded back, and then leaned on the counter to watch the upcoming training spar. Minh tilted her head for a moment, but then focused back on Ryutatsu. Her yellow eyes, trained on him as she took a defensive stance, holding the reverse gripped wooden sword out in front of her. With this she met his request. "I guess we can start it now then..." She said calmly, honestly curious to see what she could do in this situation, against someone who seemed to know what they were doing. Wouldn't be the first time though. Sort of has been the running theme with her lately.

Ryuatatsu watched the odd stance that the newcomer dropped into with a quizzical look. He sat there and watched for a moment before dropping into simply the ready stance of that same style but marked her positioning for later copying. But his concentration at the moment wasn't where he could fully copy her. He was a bit occupied with what he had already been doing, which the semi solid blade in his hand could attest.

Ryutatsu had a flower blade forming in his hands but the solidity of it was not yet complete. The flower petals that had been flowing around him was getting absorbed into the blade. It was helping it become thicker and stronger until it was a true blade itself. It wasn't quite there yet but the form was definitely there. And his was particularly was in the shape of a katana not unlike the one on his back.

Each passing moment made it more and more like a real sword. Ryutatsu knew that with this sword he would had an advantage over most others for it would be feather light and strong as steel. The flowers literally weighted so little that they weighed nothing to Ryutatsu but as he swung the sword around, he was able to slice a training dummy in half. That was when Ryutatsu noticed the audience.

Ryutatsu didn't like the audience especially outside the Arena but this was their village and dojo. Even though when he came here it looked practically abandoned. He shook himself to loosen up for a quick spar when a pigeon flew into a window the dojo had. The pigeon a small grey white thing had a note on it's leg. He was needed back in the village again, the Kage didn't like her children Shinobi wondering off it seemed.

Ryutatsu dropped the flower sword which bursted into a little pile of flowers. He gave both the senior citizen who looked to be a dojo master and the person who was going to spar with him a little bow. " Thank you for being willing to spar with me but I must go. I apologize but work calls." And with that he moves with a quickness that was startling. He moved so fast he vanished and was on his way back to the village.
