Raid Event: Elderwood Reclamation

[Master Game]

At a quick pace, Shoko's environment became a frantic blur as he traversed the wild timberland like an arboreal animal. Foliage and flora flew passed him in a flurry as the ninja focused on getting closer to his objective the best he could. With every leap and swing took note of his surroundings and integrated into his environment. As he moved, Shoko would also study the towering leviathan in the distance. from what he could tell, it was clearly a work of chakra of some sort. Likely some sort nature-element based golem creation, or perhaps something more powerful. But nothing of sort lay in his knowledge of forest creature lore, and to be fair, nothing of the sort should.

Time simply flew by for the meantime, with young Shoko Natamura doing his best to conserve his energy. Soon later, when Shoko was about a two hundred metres the woodland deity and its enchanted glow, things around him would change. The glowing pillar from the top of the wood golem was noticeably fading, now. Various sounds began to radiate from the colossal wooden being.

This sound was a eruption of many different languages that Shoko did not understand, being limited in that area of knowledge. It came not from any mouth or tongue, but from the vibration of the trunks and branches at the top of the Huge tree-woman. Because of the mixed sound that was like a choir of voices, it would be hard to repeat the speech word by word.

Shoko ceased movement on the treetop branch he lay crouched as the sound waves spread out and reached the ears of likely every living thing in Kaijuu forest. It was not a good sign to Shoko, who took it as indication that the ancient creature was about to become active and zoomed in with his visor.

The nature giant raised one of her many arms and began to trace a word in the air. The word was written in Treant kanji, and it spelled out Moku Bunshin.

[Skulking Shinzu]

“Well that was fun. I rather enjoyed the peace.” Having completed his Kunai radius around Kahiscrav unhindered, Zuruel eventually ended up where he had started. Next to Lady, Krystal and Kyuushu. “Krystal, have you met this man before?” Aside from his voice, Zuruel revealed himself by removing his hood to unleash his wild swept back hair that transitioned from blue near the front to red at the back. Goggles and a gas mask still obscured the rest of his face, but based on his voice and hair, Krystal could easily work out that this was Zuruel. “Say, you look quite strong Kyuushu... And you appear to have grown too Krystal. Would this be a bad time to ask for a spar? I haven’t stretched my arms in a while... Oh, I'm Zuruel by the way and this is Lady.” He licked his lips at the end of the sentence while Lady, the wolf-like being face-palmed in a manner oddly dexterous for a canine.

While the man gave his response, Zuruel glanced up at the mighty Kahiscrav. It appeared to be communicating. However, completely unaware of the language(s) it spoke, Zuruel simply scratched the back of his head in confusion. “Anyone speak vegetable?” He asked curiously before spotting the creature drawing a foreign symbol in the air. “Say – Kyuushu was it? I’m going to hold you and Krystal to that spar if we get out of this alive.” Utilising her transformation Jutsu, a puff of smoke emanated out from the canine to reveal a young silver-haired girl in a white dress. In her human form, Lady immediately strung together two sets of handseals. If uninterrupted, she’d trigger her Jutsu twice and cover both herself and her companion, Zuruel, in a greenish tint that represented a pliant armour of jade crystals.

Transformation
Rank: "D"
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: Using this technique, the user assumes the form of a creature of same size category as he is or smaller.
Special: Handseals
Drawback: ---
Description: Range of this technique is personal. Duration of this technique is 50 minutes per Class Level. User may freely designate the specifics of his new form (such as height, weight, hair texture and color, skin tone, etc.). In this new form, the user keeps their armour points, saves, allegiance and special abilities, but they are adjusted accordingly as per the new Size category (if any change occured), and does not gain any of their new form's abilities other than its natural weapons and cannot change their voice. In this new form, the user can use all their abilities unless they use a limb or body part that they previously did not have in their original form. The user can create equipment, natural weapons or simply make it so that their new form carries the same equipment as they do, but cannot create something overly complicated or that uses Chakra (no mastercrafted objects, no advanced weaponry, exploding tags, summoning scrolls, etc); any part of the body or piece of equipment that is separated from the whole reverts to its true form. The user cannot use any technique of any type unless their form allows them to, but is still capable of speech even if their new form would not usually be. Even in their new form, the user retains their own creature type and does not gain any immunities they would with another. The new form cannot be smaller than Tiny and the user gains a +25 bonus to Disguise checks per Class Level (maximum +75) if the user uses the technique to disguise into another creature. The new form will not provide warmth if they are not clothed. The user can also use Transformation to transform into an object of their size category or smaller, but that is no smaller than Tiny. The user cannot transform into advanced weaponry or mastercrafted weapons, nor can they replicate the effects of an object crafted. The user may use Transformation to transform their clones. The range of the technique in this case is 7 meters + 6 meters per Class Level and affects any clones at the user's discretion within that range. When the a transformed creature is hit while maintaining a transformation, it must succeed a Will Save check (10 + 1/2 Damage dealt) or see the technique abruptly end. A creature that interacts with or intently observes the transformed creature may make an Observation check to recognize it as transformed, but will not be able to determine what the true form of the creature or the user is. Creatures that can See Chakra or See Through Chakra can make an Observation check to notice chakra moving in an odd pattern around the user, which will in turn allow the creature to make a Chakra Lore check (Difficult Difficulty) to identify the pattern as a result of Transformation.
Limit: Must learn from Universal NinJutsu.

[x40] Shōton: Kesshō (Crystal Release: Crystallization)
Rank: "C"
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: The user learns how to arrange the structural lattice of their crystal techniques. The more the user learns Crystallization, the more crystal can be produced, and the more durable that crystal becomes.
Special: Handseals
Drawback: ---
Description: The user is able to perform this technique at a distance of 120 meters plus 60 meters per class level. The Duration of the Jutsu is 5 hours per Class Level. Crystals draw their strength from their precise structural integrity. The user must learn Crystallization before all other Shōton techniques, to grasp how to keep their crystal in a solid mass. The user infects substances with their chakra, then rearranges their structure into a rigid crystal lattice. Crystallization destroys substances used to create crystal due to this rearrangement. This technique can crystallize solids, liquids, and particles in the air to generate crystal. The user may dismiss any of their own crystal creations with a movement. Crystals vaporize into nothingness as they are dismissed. At first, the user's crystals are no more durable than standard crystals, having a hardness of 10 and only able to withstand 40 armor points of damage before breaking. Only 5 cubic meters of crystal can be created at a time when Crystallization is first learned. The durability and quantity of crystal can be increased with additional training. Each time learned, the user can create an additional 5 cubic meters of crystal.
After learning this technique a total of 10 times, the crystal will have a hardness of 15 and 80 armor points. Crystallization requires an additional 10 TP per tech to learn.
After learning this technique a total of 20 times, the crystal will have a hardness of 20 and 120 armor points. Crystallization requires an additional 10 TP per tech to learn.
After learning this technique a total of 30 times, the crystal will have a hardness of 25 and 160 armor points. Crystallization requires an additional 10 TP per tech to learn.
After learning this technique a total of 40 times, the crystal will have a hardness of 30 and 200 armor points. Crystallization can no longer be retrained further at this point, the crystal lattice is considered perfected.

[x2] Engun Kessho no Jutsu (Crystal Reinforcement Technique)
Rank: C
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Reinforces an object with the user's crystal.
Special: Handseals
Drawback: ---
Description: Using water vapor or other particles in the air the user coats an existing object in crystal without crystallizing the object itself. The result is an item with near the same toughness as the user's skill in Shōton: Crystallization. The objects armor points is equal to half the user's skill in Shōton: Crystallization. If this jutsu is used in conjunction with Kessho Mageyasui the objects armor points are instead two ranks below the user's skill in Shōton: Crystallization. This jutsu can be dismissed without damaging the reinforced object. Mostly used by Weapon Taijutsu users looking to keep their weaponry from being damaged, or by those who don't want something destroyed once they dismiss their crystal. This jutsu does not increase an item's offensive capabilities, only its defensive.
Limit: Must know Kessho Mageyasui no Jutsu (Pliant Crystal Technique)

• [x2] Kessho Mageyasui no Jutsu (Pliant Crystal Technique)

       Rank: B
       Skill: Ninjutsu, Supplementary
       Effect: Allows the user to crystallize matter but have it retain its previous        properties.
       Special: ---
       Drawback: Cannot be used with Shōton: Chakra Override. Crystal made        using this technique is weaker than normal. Cannot crystallize particles in        the air or water.
       Description: Using their mastery in the Crystal Release, the user can learn        to change the way they form their crystal from objects. By sacrificing        crystal toughness the user can crystallize objects but have them retain        their physical properties. If one were to crystallize a leather whip, it would        retain its flexibility. This extends only so far as the object's shape and        mobility. Magnetic, chakra-based, or chemical properties are not retained.        Crystal formed this way is substantially weaker than normal, and can only        withstand attacks two ranks below the user's skill in Shōton:        Crystallization. This jutsu is useful for those skilled with soft weapons or        who otherwise need more malleable creations.
       Limit: Must know Shōton: Crystallization.

[Kyodai Hyuuga]

Kyodai rubbed his chin in thought. He mentally listed what he knew so far. The two that Seraph of the Leaf was trailing were Loki, Formerly of the Leaf and powerful user of the Shinobi arts. He remembered her throwing swords from a gate with ease. She had chakra to spare. The Man beside her must be no other than Shiki Senri, the customized high grade armor and powerful chakra speaks to that. Besides he was televised as the winner of the Hunt a while back. He was known to be a monster hunter and was formerly a Shinobi. Recent information was unknown to Kyodai.

But closer to what was important, the lack of scavengers and the increase decomposition spoke of something fungal or at least plant like that is causing the decay. Without much though he took out a wad of linen bandage and soaked it in rum. Then he wrapped it around his mouth and nose making a impromptu rebreather. "Beware of spores or pollen and the like. This thing is using some sort of Fungal element to decay and decompose the last group through. "

Warning them was just smart as he definitely didn't have the power to destroy such a large entity. His eyes tried to focus on the chakra systems around him and see if there was chakra flowing through the plant life around them. He mentally also took note of the information that Loki revealed.

[Coal]

Kyuushu looked at the two before him, an odd assortment to be sure, now recovered from the initial shock of the colorful-haired male that seemed to come straight from the darkness. Before he could get a word back to their questions and statements however, there was a rumbling of four languages behind him, each one as much gibberish as the last, and all speaking at the same time to create what seemed like a ruckus of birds, all different, and all trying to be the loudest. The male, Zuriel, wanted a spar though and Kyuushu would not forget about that either; it had been a while. However, it would be the tree that had his full attention.

The tree, to be referred to as her for now, would begin to move her single arm, the upper middle left arm to be precise. Kyuushu began to create his own seals as well as he watched, his battle-mind (Soldier), picking up on the incentive of the speak, despite the words not being understood, and from the scenery around them it was far easier to understand. This creature, she was not one of the friendly types that you hear about in books and tales for children, but of the kind you would be warned about when there was a fog in the woods. Well, there was a fog in these woods and a tree that meant business, but everyone was simply throwing curses or standing dumbfounded as they watched, and Kyuushu was sure that a few of them knew what was coming with that tone of voice. How could they not?

An inner wind picked up from Kyuushu’s body, causing his hair to whip around him as he glared at the tree’s arm, raising his own before him. His thumb and index finger on his left hand would come together, forcefully pressed together at the tips, and the tree would begin to draw the Kanji in the trent language; exuding chakra energy as she did so. “You’re not allowed.” His voice was deep, heroic, and he was very serious as he snapped his fingers. It was almost as if the sound rang out, exploding from him as the wind burst and kicked the dust away from him in a one meter 360 degree area. The tree itself may be 126 meters tall, but its arms were not nearly as high, and the middle upper left arm would be in range, if just barely. This was the power of his force and the beast would feel it and it would be a very audible blast of white force.

“The tree has made the first move! STRIKE IT DOWN!” Kyuushu would climb atop his horse in a swift movement, followed by another quick set of handseals as Souten went wide and out toward the ring of trees until they were ten [10] meters from the tree. I am Born of Three Thunders! Rage, my spear! The naginata in his hand began to crackle with electricity and the blade was practically humming now once those handseals were complete, Kyuushu and Souten’s hair/mane both whipping in the wind of their movement, as they began the CHARGE! With nothing to stop him path of movement, he would strike at the tree itself, a flash of lighting and then a sonic boom of thunder to follow as his blade cut through the bark as if it were merely butter. What a delicious treat it was to strike at a foe!

With a click of his tongue, understood perfectly by Souten, they would veer right and away from the base of the tree, clearing out for the others to launch their attacks if they were going to do so, staying on the move to make himself a more difficult target and perhaps draw the aggression of this very tree. If it was focused on him, they would have a better chance of felling it if such a thing was possible. If not, he was better suited to escape due to the speed of his stallion, should they be forced to retreat from this beast. "Ha ha! How'd you like that! Come get me if you dare, you oversized fire log!"

[Nira]

Krystal decided to call a friend. The call worked.

---

Shiki talked with his wife and managed a pun—appropriate for a father.

---

Loki answered the call. She also found most of what her husband said unworthy of a response, or at least not funny enough to brighten her mood.

---

Seraph, for the most part, wasn’t paying too much attention. He at least seemed to think the situation was stimulating.

---

Shoko arrived two hundred meters south of the Elderwood—about a hundred meters south of Shiki, Loki, Seraph, and Kyodai.

He paid very close attention, but didn’t buy anything yet.

Mechanic: Fungi Biofilm

All twenty of the kunai that Zuruel buried were covered in mushrooms that latched onto the metal and drained any chakra and abilities the kunai had. These twenty kunai were unusable until the mushrooms were removed. Someone also needed the ability to see underground at these buried kunai to be aware of what happened to them.

Zuruel scheduled some spars for the future.

Lady utilized a couple crystal techniques.

Are you using a crystal armor technique, or are you targeting an object with the Pliant version of Crystal Reinforcement? Your post description says armor, but the quoted techniques are for objects. Specify which item if you’re using your quoted techniques.

Kyodai is making a list. He also attempted to make himself drunk the slowest way possible, but for an impromptu microbe blocker it seemed fine.

The trees indeed had chakra, but only as much as an active technique—enough to enhance growth.

Everyone

Kahiscrav thought it odd how nothing tried to stop her from using the wood clone technique. Did the humans by some means recognize the technique written in the treant language, and thought there was no need to prevent something that wasn’t offensive? It wouldn’t be too much of a surprise. She was aware of how much raw power each human had, but she was hoping to gauge their skill by luring them with the threat of more wooden bodies.

Going full force against humans with high power and unknown skill was, even at her young age, obviously foolish.

However, the one thing that shouldn’t be given to humans is time to plan and maneuver. The gambit was a failure. No further time needed to be wasted.

---

Kyuushu snapped really hard. It didn’t do anything—the Elderwood wasn’t performing handseals, so the prerequisites for the technique went unfulfilled and the chakra blew right past the titanic creature. Calligraphy sealing, much like the snap Kyuushu used, did not count as handseals filled with chakra to explode.

---

Everyone

The Elderwood balled her Hiro, Juri, and Ulri hands into hollow fists. Inside those three hands, wooden clones were created out of the palm. They were each medium sized—eight feet tall—and their torso body was propped up by a system of roots that moved like rigid jellyfish tentacles. The roots had a slightly greater height than the torso, and they were so abundant that they expanded outwards like a ball gown. The clone technique couldn’t capture the sheer width of the Elderwood, so the roots looked cut off at the ends.

All three clones raised a hand, lit the fingertip with emerald flame, and traced the calligraphy for different techniques. The Elderwood fists around them offered total cover. The clones in Juri and Ulri used their own Ulro hands and traced Mokuton Soutei Hashira in the air with their emerald treant kanji. Ninety wooden pillars, each twenty-four inches thick, burst out of the ground ten meters south of the clearing and began to head towards different targets.

The clone in Hiro raised its own Hiri hand and spelled out Mokuton: Tsuriibaindo Eien No Maisou at the same time Kyuushu performed his own set of handseals on horseback. Just as Kyuushu charged at the Elderwood, small wooden roots sprung out of the ground surrounding Souten. These roots wrapped around the body of the light horse to hold it in place, halting the charge with their entanglement strength.

Thicker pillars of wood burst out of the ground after the roots, and they continued the process of surrounding and trapping the horse. The roots and pillars got tighter as seconds ticked by. Only six seconds needed to pass to crush the horse with raw constrictive force. With every passing moment, more wood piled on and around the creature. A tree began to form that wanted to rival the height of the other trees in the forest.

Kyuushu was not the target for the technique, so none of those particular roots and wood pillars went after him.

While Hiro’s wooden clone used its tree binding technique, the Elderwood itself raised her Kahro hand nearly all the way upwards—reaching a height of two hundred and sixty meters over the ground—and began to draw in sapphire letters while her fingertip glowed with a blue flame that resembled a raindrop. She wrote in Sylvan kanji for this technique, and spelled out Solid Fog. Additional effort went into drawing this kanji, enhancing the end result with a widening effect.

A moment after roots sprang up around Souten, an incredibly dense fog rose out from the river and ground. This fog covered a radius of sixty meters around the Elderwood, and it reached a height of thirty meters. The Elderwood’s waist was covered by the fog, and the treetops within the radius vanished within the white. The fog was so incredibly thick that anyone inside it had their movements hindered—they would only be able to move with a quarter of their maximum movements. This slowing effect also reduced all kinds of other threats.

The Elderwood, with most of her body and all her arms far above the fog, suffered no such penalties.

The ninety thick, lumber trunks made by Juri’s and Ulri’s clones moved like hungry snakes.
They divided into separate groups as the third clone’s roots sprang up and the Elderwood’s fog set in. Twenty pillars went high into the air to be ready to repel aerial threats heading towards the Elderwood. Ten pillars went after each of the humans, ignoring the animals, and they each attacked in the same way. Every person was in range of the wooden pillars made by the pair of clones, and the pillars moved with a complete awareness of where everyone was. They even moved just enough to go around any trees in their way.

Four pillars surrounded each person at different heights—neck, stomach, thigh, and shin heights based on each individual—to form a cylindrical cage with a three meter diameter. The pillars alternated in positions, because their thickness made it impossible to position in a perfect vertical around people less than ten feet high, but they only alternated forward and back just enough to make the space between one another a couple centimeters thick. Another pair of pillars spun in a flat, horizontal spiral a meter above each person’s head to create a wooden ceiling with a three meter diameter. In the space between the top of the cage and the spiral roof, four other pillars rushed in to surround and bind each person’s neck, waist, and each ankle of their legs.

Several of these pillars bore the burden of receiving all of Kyuushu’s empowered weapon attacks in an effort to trap and halt the man from approaching the Elderwood any further. The four pillars making the cylindrical cage were the main obstacles that sprang in the man’s way. Like how the binding tree only targeted Souten, the ten wooden pillars were only concerned with following and surrounding Kyuushu.

As the wooden pillars flew into place, the Elderwood stretched its Kahri hand outward, holding it up in the east. The hand hovered a hundred and fifty meters above the forest floor and a hundred and thirty meters away from the Elderwood. It traced sapphire lettering in the air that spelled out Seven Flowing Water Dragons in Sylvan kanji while putting in the necessary effort to efficiently double the technique.

Mechanic: Root of Being

An entanglement of roots sprang out of the ground ten meters west of Shiki—near Loki, Seraph, and Kyodai. This cluster was about the size of a human child’s hands. It sprang from behind one of the trees, having complete cover and making less sound than the various animal calls that already filled the forest. As the sapphire calligraphy was completed, the technique activated with the roots as the central point for its range.

Fourteen dragons made out of water erupted from the river running through the southern portion of the forest. Their bodies were colder than the river—almost freezing—and their heads were as sharp as spears. They flew and slithered between trees to approach the group of four humans. Three dragons flew at Seraph, three towards Kyodai, four at Loki, and four at Shiki. The wooden pillars forming the cages moved away just enough for an opening whenever they were in the way of the water dragons.

These fourteen water dragons flew directly for the stomach of each human with devastating force that had the possibility of stunning the targets they hit if they didn’t have the fortitude to withstand them.

Mechanic: Animalia Kingdom Come—True Savagery

The upper branches of the Elderwood vibrated once more, and Kahiscrav spoke in her four languages, “Beasts, rip and sunder.”

Four golden fires sprang to life in the forest. The fires made the nearby trees and shrubbery grow rapidly, but also sped up the decay of the leaves, spores, and dry branches until they withered into ash. That ash gathered into the fire and formed the shape of different beasts.

Each beast appeared with beige and glowing wooden armor donned on their body, enhancing their toughness and durability. They charged at their human targets with bloodlust boiling under their hide. Like with the water dragons, any wooden pillars in their way moved aside.

A goblin bear appeared ten meters north of Lady. It charged forward, mouth agape and showing off its massive teeth. The solid fog helped hide Lady a bit, and slowed the bear, so the charge wasn’t much of a surprise attack. Still, its senses at least allowed it to spot the foe and get close. When it reached the transformed creature, it lunged toward Lady’s neck, biting into it with enormous force.

Twelve meters north of Kyuushu, among the trees right by the clearing, a raggoth—wolf-like with six legs—appeared out of the flames and leapt into the clearing. Due to the solid fog, the raggoth didn’t have a clear idea of where its foes were. It didn’t have the knowledge that the Elderwood possessed. So, instead, it howled—its howl having the properties of causing a certain amount of fear for anyone within twenty meters. For the moment, that just included Souten and Kyuushu.

A girallon—a gorilla with four arms—appeared five meters west of Zuruel. This beast didn’t act immediately, and instead took the time to survey its surroundings. It spent its time beating its chest and puffing it up.

Finally, the last creature—also shaped like an overgrown wolverine like the goblin bear—appeared seven meters south of Shoko. Outside of the hindering mists, this large beast charged through the trees and aimed a bite for Shoko’s left knee.

Details on Solid Fog effects:
-This Jutsu functions like Concealing Mist, but in addition to obscuring sight, the solid fog is so thick that it impedes movement. Creatures moving through a solid fog move at 1/4 their normal movements and take a -10 penalty on all attack damage. The vapors prevent effective ranged weapon attacks (except for chakra rays and the like). A creature or object that falls into solid fog is slowed so that each 3 meters of vapor that it passes through reduces the falling damage by 6. A creature cannot take a 2-meter-step while in solid fog. Solid fog, and effects that work like solid fog, do not stack with each other in terms of slowed movement and attack penalties. Unlike normal fog, only a severe wind (31+ mph) disperses these vapors, and it does so in 1 round.
Details on Seven Flowing Water Dragons:
-Actually fourteen
-each 120 armour points of piercing, cold damage
-Fortitude save will be rolled if hit by a dragon
-Two fortitude save rolls will be triggered, and the more favorable result for the Elderwood will be used
-Failed fortitude save results in two rounds of the stunned condition

Golden Blessed of the Elderwood
-Natural attack damage tripled

Bear, Goblin
Rank: "B"
Type: Rare, Large, Animal
Effect: Resembles a wolverine. Has a toothy snout, and long, sharp curved claws. Attacks with powerful biting attack. Immune to some mental effects.
Special: Preparation:--- ; Duration: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Picture The goblin bear is in fact neither a goblin nor a bear, more closely resembling a giant wolverine, with a blunt, muscular body, a short, toothy snout and long, sharp, curved claws on all four feet. The beast is the size of a small pony and has a glossy, reddish-brown pelt. Goblin bears are voracious omnivores that have earned their name through aggressive assaults on travelers' campsites. Constantly searching for food to ease their all-consuming appetite, goblin bears have been known to brazenly walk into a camp and begin rooting through packs in search of provisions, insolently daring someone to do anything about it. Most travelers familiar with the breed wisely choose to stand aside and let a beast eat what it finds, because the goblin bear is easily enraged and stubborn to a fault, fighting drawn-out, bloody battles over little more than a moldy biscuit and a strip of beef jerky. If left alone, goblin bears are generally lazy creatures that eat what they can reach easily, ignoring the outraged cries of the camp and then finally moving on. On a more sinister note, however, there have been reports of some goblin bears that have developed an exclusive taste for fresh meat and thus provide far greater dangers to unsuspecting travelers. An enraged goblin bear is aggressive and headstrong, attacking without regard for safety or survival and giving ground to no one, no matter how big or fearsome. Goblin bears prefer to leap onto their prey, bearing them to the ground and savaging them with tooth and claw, trusting to their spiny flanks to keep other attackers at bay. They can strike doing 15 Amour Points of Damage with their bite and 14 Armour Points of Damage with their claw. Goblin bears have twin ruffs of barbed shoulder spines that run from the point of the beast's shoulder all the way to the point of its hips. These barbs stand erect when the creature is enraged. Whenever an enemy makes a melee attack against the goblin bear, the bear may try hit with its spines, causing 11 Armour Points of Damage if it succeeds. If a goblin bear gets a good enough hold on an enemy with its teeth, it shakes its victim savagely from side to side, intending to break the target's neck or spine. If the goblin bear causes a direct hit with its bite, it may automatically try a neck-shake (dealing 25 Armour Points of Damage in addition to the Bite Damage). The thick-headed goblin bear is immune to fear and mind-influencing attacks, as well as subdual damage.

Porgolursa
Rank: ""
Type: Rare, Large, Animal
Effect: The snarling beast is the size of a small pony and looks like a cross between a wolverine and a bear.
Special: Preparation: —; Duration: —
Drawback: ---
Description: The snarling beast is the size of a small pony and looks like a cross between a wolverine and a bear. Its blunt, muscular body ends in a short, toothy snout. Long, curved claws paw at the earth and twin ruffs point up like a row of spikes from the shoulders of its glossy reddish-brown pelt. The porgolursa is a relative of the wolverine and badger, although many mistake them for some sort of bear. These omnivores have a nearly insatiable appetite, so they spend almost all their waking hours searching for food. A porgolursa is often 8 feet long and weighs around 1,500 pounds. An enraged porgolursa is aggressive and headstrong, attacking without regard for safety or survival and giving ground to no one, no matter how big or fearsome. A porgolursa prefers to overbear its prey, savaging with tooth and claw and trusting to its spiny flanks to keep other attackers at bay. A porgolursa that takes damage in combat flies into a berserk rage on its next turn, clawing and biting madly until either it or its opponent is dead. Creature Gains Rage from Brawler Style. It cannot end its rage voluntarily, and while raging it is immune to mind-affecting attacks, as well as nonlethal damage. If a porgolursa gets a hold with its bite attack, it shakes and tears its opponent’s body with neck-breaking force. This attack automatically deals an additional 25 Armour Points of damage. A porgolursa’s fur is actually formed of tough spines, much like those of a porcupine. These barbs stand erect when the creature is enraged. An opponent that successfully hits the porgolursa in melee take 6 Armour Points of piercing damage from the spines. Creatures with 3-meters or longer reach who are using weapons or any opponents using reach weapons are not subject to spine damage.

Raggoth
Rank: ""
Type: Rare, Large, Mystical Beast
Effect: A sleek black-furred creature leaps from the underbrush, its gaping mouth showing a full allotment of sharpened fangs. Its head is wolf-like and it has six muscular legs. Its body is long and ends in a thick furred tail.
Special: Preparation: —; Duration: —
Drawback: ---
Description: A sleek black-furred creature leaps from the underbrush, its gaping mouth showing a full allotment of sharpened fangs. Its head is wolf-like and it has six muscular legs. Its body is long and ends in a thick furred tail. Once every 1d4 rounds, a raggoth can release a piercing howl that affects all creatures within 20 meters that hear it. A creature within the area must succeed on a 17 Will save or become shaken for 2d4 rounds. A creature that succeeds on its save is immune to the tormenting howl of that raggoth for 24 hours. Multiple uses of tormenting howl do not stack but do increase the duration. They can bite for 14 Armour Points of Damage. They can rake for 12 Armour Points of Damage. Raggoths are aggressive predators with voracious appetites and a killing instinct that makes them quite deadly in battle. Though its hunting area typically covers only about a mile around its lair, raggoths are known to track their prey up to 10 or more miles. Whether this only occurs when food is scarce or if the raggoth simply hunts and tracks its prey for the sheer thrill of the hunt is unknown. Raggoths by their very nature are solitary, though sometimes they will work together to track down an elusive target or work together to bring down a particularly powerful opponent. Typically raggoths working in concert with one another are a mated pair. Raggoth dwell in thick forests and make their home amidst the foliage or in shallow caves and caverns. If a mated pair is encountered, there is a chance (40%) that 1d4 young are present. Young are born live and are fully dependent on their mother for the first year of their life. Around 12 to 18 months they begin to gain their independence, but do not fully leave the lair until they are around 2 years of age. A young raggoth reaches maturity around 4 years of age. A raggoth is about 8 feet long and weighs about 450 pounds. Its fur is jet black, its nails and teeth are dull white, and its eyes are dull yellow. Raggoths are ambush hunters and always use stealth tactics when hunting and tracking their prey. When spotted, a raggoth moves slowly toward its target and then quickly bursts from its hiding spot at its opponent. If the raggoth doesn’t fell its opponent in the first round, it lets loose its tormenting howl to weaken its prey before attempting to finish it off with its terrible claws and bite. A raggoth fights to the death only if cornered or defending its lair.

Girallon
Rank: ""
Type: Very Rare, Large, Mystical Beast
Effect: Girallons are among the jungle’s most dangerous predators. They are aggressive, carnivorous, highly territorial, and incredibly strong.
Special: Preparation: —; Duration: —
Drawback: ---
Description: Girallons are among the jungle’s most dangerous predators. They are aggressive, carnivorous, highly territorial, and incredibly strong. Worse, their four muscular arms are capable of inflicting incredible damage on anything that falls into their clutches. Their exotic appearance makes them popular creatures in certain cities as attractions in gladiatorial combats, either starved and pitted against each other, or set against gladiators eager to increase their fame and notoriety. One who kills a girallon is all but assured of fame, yet most battles against these ferocious beasts end poorly for those foolish enough to attempt to single-handedly defeat one. An adult girallon is 8 feet tall, broad-chested, and covered in thick, pure white fur. It weighs roughly 800 pounds. Girallons live in troops led by a dominant male. Solitary girallons are usually young males looking to start their own troop. Girallons are very territorial and tend to attack intruders without warning, including strangers of their own kind. Groups of girallons may attack in a line to drive prey toward a cliff or other hazard, or quietly form a ring around their target and suddenly close in. While most girallons are little more than beasts, ancient carvings and the oral traditions of some tribes hint that the girallon wasn’t always the stupid creature it is today. According to these legends, the first girallons were men who called upon savage demon gods to gain great strength, yet in so doing abandoned their humanity. With each generation, these first girallons grew more and more savage and feral, and the same legends maintain that these intelligent girallons still dwell in the darkest part of the jungle. In addition to their intellects, these girallons retain a vast appetite for cruelty.

[Titan of Stone]

After Loki answered Krystal winced and held the witch watch a little farther away from herself to avoid the loud angry words coming through it as the neko flicked her ears. "Divine tree, believes humans are scum, got it. I'm right next to it if you wanna close the distance."

After the call and Loki yelling at the big tree in many languages the amazon put away the witch watch while a bemused expression crossed her face, heaven or fire? With a shrug Krystal watched as Kyuushu snapped at the tree and Lady transformed causing the neko to wave at her remembering the beautiful woman before she leapt from the ground taking flight before the vines shot out to ensnare the horse. In the same moment without a thought she moved her arms in a wide sweeping stance spreading gold and purple energy from her body before bringing her arms together one hand over the other other palm up as if she were holding a ball where the gold energy condensed while the purple remained before releasing the orb which enlarged and formed a copy of Krystal from her own soul.

Both now shot toward the ground as while performing mirrored movements in a form of dance until flames burst forth from her arms. Upon reaching the ground both would lunge towards the vines and turn into tornadoes of flame aiming to shred them at ground level rather than getting too close to the horse and risk hurting it. After attacking the vines, the golden Krystal would nod toward the violet before soaring into the sky heading for the wood clone that was now no longer behind cover as the hand that had been protecting it was drawing something Krystal couldn't read. Although her sudden appearance in front of the clone may be Disturbing.

"I don't suppose you understand or speak the language I do?" the gold Krystal inquired to the being making an attempt to talk to it rather than just go in guns blazing, heh pun. "If you do can we try to talk this out? I'm not sure I really understand what's wrong besides your anger towards people."

The purple Krystal still near the ground floated about 10 meters above the ground while her shadows enveloped her body leaving her eyes as glowing gold shapes. Being in the air she managed to avoid the wooden cage and since the golden creatures didn't seem to be interested in her she looked around at the surroundings before noticing the glowing blue sign in the sky above them. Judging from the fog around them Krystal deduced that it was a water technique given the bright blue kanji.

"Water from above!" Krystal called out, given the golden beasts that had appeared she didn't think the others would be looking up so she hoped it would give them time to do something about it while she stayed focused on the trees and the water using her flight to dodge and weave between attacks.

[The White Wolf]

Threats. The present danger would pull the playful demeanor from my face. The fog was rolling in. I would need to deal with this quickly, fog opened up a lot of dangerous outcomes during this fight. I'd take a moment to rustle around in my waist pocket and pull out a scroll containing a tiger seal. From what I could gather this was some form of chakra techniques.(SC chakra lore 125/125). As I opened up the scroll I looked up slightly as I felt the vibrations from the incoming roots being launched my way through the earth. I took a small squat and would jump 40 meters into the air.(jg 165) Far above the height of the roots and well above most the trees. With my scroll unfurled I'd whip it through the mist on my way up activating my sealing jutsu. If successful I'd store the entire fog into the scroll freeing the battlefield from its restrictive grasp.

If not. So be it the result would be the same just with more fog. In the air I quickly noticed the incoming water dragon jutsu heading my way. If they were still heading towards the area I was I'd simply land on the top of a tree and create a tenkai barrier around myself easily washing off the incoming damage. If the dragons chose to continue heading towards the ground where I was I'd let them collide. Seemingly, this creature had a pretty good idea that I was here. Which made the process of observing it that much more tricky. I still needed to run some tests.

I activated the enchantments in my armor. Essentially doing everything humanly possible to avoid getting noticed by this monster until I understood how all of its parts worked.

"Oaky Dokie. This thing is mean."

Druid's Deterance: Animals, dragons, elementals, mystical beasts, fey, plants and vermin creatures cannot see, hear, or smell the wearer. Even extraordinary or supernatural sensory capabilities, such as blindsense, blindsight, scent, and tremorsense, cannot detect or locate warded creatures. If a creature has reason to believe the unseen wearer is present, however, it can attempt to find or strike the wearer. If a wearer attempts to attack a creature (even with a Jutsu), the effect ends for the wearer for the duration of the encounter. The user can suppress this ability as a free movement; reactivating it is a weaving movement. Clandestine Perfection: Power at Will, Weaving Movement Activation "B" Rank. The wearer can become nigh undetectable as Greater Invisibility but is also inaudible and has no scent and as such is undetectable by scent, blindsense, tremorsense, and blindsight. It also renders the wearer immune to detection by dust of appearance, faerie fire, glitterdust, invisibility purge, and see invisibility, though they are revealed by true seeing, and effects they have on their environment, such as tracks, can still be detected.

[Madame Loki]

[Can't hold the Sky, Can't tame the Wind.]

As the Solid Fog rolled in, Shiki seemed to show more concern about then loki did. It was a non issue for her. Loki was a Free Soul, nothing could hold her, if she did not will it so, not even the power of chakra or spells. That meant nothing base in chakra could hold her, or restrict her movements. Even if Shiki wasn't successful in taking in the fog into his seal, Loki could move freely as if it wasn't there to being with. As such she continued to stand where she was, checking her nails. There didn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary about this thing just yet, well nothing out of relative normality given the situation.

It was basically an over sized Wood golem, meaning that it control the wood Element, and seeing that it could also take control of water as well, that meant that Earth spells as well wouldn't be beyond the pale in it's range of abilities. Something to keep in mind for later, but not really anything to pressing at the moment. However, the one concern she did have with the fog was visibility, something that she was going to need to change. The visor of her crown came down, and gave her an X-ray View through the Fog. As she got this image, she saw 10 wooden pillars heading her way. She groaned and then started to mouth things under her breath as the pillars came her way with a quick one handed motion, she formed hand seals and extended her palm forward.

As she did so an Empowered great Breakthrough Blasted out into the area. The power of the wind that Loki released had 122ap of Bludgeoning force behind. That should have been more than enough to bash the Wooden pillars that were coming for her, or coming for any one on her side of the battlefield to bits, as it had an line of effect of 105m. So even the ones that extended up into the air, had their bases blown to splinters by the charging wind. Shortly after she had dispatched of the wooden pillars that were plaguing this side of the battle field water dragons seemed to be rushing toward her, Loki found this to be rather insulting, but was also curious as to how they were able to track their location through this fog, as far as see knew this thing did not have X-ray vision.

It was a curious thing indeed, a curiosity that she'd not let go. As the Dragons came towards her, she casually dodged at out there way. Turning her her left shoulder back, and taking a rather subdued hop backwards towards her right, about 10 meters. They all seemed to converge center mass, which was a wise choice, but made it easier to dodge. As she turned her left shoulder over she split into 2 separate entities. The second Loki also made a hop backs some 10 meters, but moved towards the west as the other jumped towards the East. Nex the Pipe Fox joined the West Loki, still transformed as a piece of her cloak. Their task was a relatively simple one. To find out how the tree and it's clones were tracking them. The faded into the shadows as they Shadow Walked into the shadows of the trees becoming invisible, and began their search of the area. Loki relayed everything that she was doing to Shiki through the Mental link that to two of them shared.

[Master Game]

Many strange things happened at once after the Tree Lady drew that mysterious symbol in the air. Most notably, fog appeared and begun to roll in around the woodland deity's close vicinity(about 60 metres). But also, through the zoomed in vision on his visor, he could easily spot a multitude of wooden pillars homing in on his direction from the fog. He also spotted a plethora of pillars branching out from the ground and reaching several hundred metres into the air, likely to guard and intercept any aerial threat against the wood golem.

It would take a hit of time for the pillars to reach him given the large distance between him and the nature deviant. During that time the shinobi kept calm and easily formulated a plan of action against anything about to besiege him. But some things changed quickly. A group one-hundred metres in front of Shoko that he had somehow failed to notice previously, had come in contact with the wood pillar swarm before he did. One jumped high enough into the air that it rivalled the feats of the boy's own jounin commander, while another created a swirl of wind so powerful it decimated all wooden contraptions around it within a 105m line of effect.

If despite the obliteration by the surge of wind, a group of wooden tentacles somehow survived and continued towards Shoko's direction, the boy would take action. Opening his mouth wide, Shoko swung his head to left to face a tree parallel to him and twenty metres away. A thin but incredibly durable and tough line of white, spider-like webbing would shoot out from his mouth and latch unto that tree. A jump, twist then glide and in less than two seconds Shoko was stood crouched on the branch of the targeted tree. The boy would now watch to see if the wooden pillars changed their route and homed in on his new postion instead.

If they did, Shoko would glare in contempt at the incoming wood tentacles. He would not try to run from them, but rather meet them head on. Jumping down from the tree, Shoko ran just a few metres before sliding to a halt. The young boy waited until the wooden pillars were almost upon him before making a short set of handseals. A single lightning clone would appear and Shoko simultaneously performed shunshin backwards just as the wooden pillars came over his previous position. The result would be that the pillars would ensnare the lightning clone while Shoko remained ten metres safely away. It was by this time that shoko would notice a strange beast that simply appeared from nowhere seven metres behind him. Immediately recognising the beast as hostile and not bothering to study it in an attempt to recall its details from the monster lore he'd once studied, he channelled a monstrous flow of chakra from his tenketsu and directed it into Tenka. The Kyyushi blade flared with a large chakra coming into physical manifestation around the moment Shoko unsheathed the sword. Shoko performed another shunshin backwards to give him sufficient space to run up.

Dashing forward with his sword unsheathed and pointed towards his foe, Shoko zoomed ten metres before meeting the advancing woodland beast in a clash of flesh and steel. The collision of the boy's blade would make quick and gory work of the strange hybrid beast and seconds later Shoko would likely be pulling his sword out from its corpse. Though if the wooden tentacles never came for him in the first place then he would use the same methods to dispatch the wild predator that had charged. With the immediate threat gone, Shoko could refocus on the Elderwood. Climbing the nearest tree, Shoko resumed observation of the giant tree-lady, now irritated that it had started its attack. The chuunin decided he would keep to the shadows for now, going on stealth-mode and activating his cloak of Hyuuga as he watched fro further activity.

[Skulking Shinzu]

“Hold o-” Before Zuruel could finish the warning, Kyuushu had already galloped away on horseback. “Well, he’s still alive.” Even from this distance, Zuruel could hear the man’s voice thanks to his enhanced sense of hearing. However, something his senses couldn’t feel out were his Hiraishin-marked Kunai. As much as he attempted to lock onto any of them, nothing seemed to happen. It wasn’t as if the gutsy wildlife had carried them away or swallowed them. He’d still sense the seal’s presence even when surrounded by stomach acid. This was something else. Either the tree had completely destroyed every Kunai with its roots, or the soil was highly corrosive underground. As Lady utilised her telepathy to pick up on Zuruel’s trail of thoughts, she made a mental note not to use any earth Jutsu to dive underground while sharing the same knowledge with Krystal.

“Oh.” Zuruel attempted to make his way towards the Kunai closest to him but decided against it. Kahiscrav was on the attack already. Instead, he simply grabbed a Kunai from his cloak and dropped it onto the ground where it fell flat against the foliage. Above ground, he’d be able to inspect it all he wanted… or so he thought. “Fog… Brilliant. This thing can use Water Jutsu then?” Dense white swirls spewed out in all directions. With sight lost to him, Zuruel immediately triggered the X-ray lenses in his goggles in an attempt to regain some degree of visibility while also triggering his Density Manipulation augmentation to become Incorporeal. He wondered if the fog would be less of a nuisance and simply slip through him while Incorporeal. Either way though, he still had his hearing – something the creaking of the ten wooden pillars slithering his way could not escape. Although he had trouble counting their exact number, he knew they were coming. Grinning, he shifted into a combat stance facing the direction of the approaching Wood Jutsu and wrapped his right hand around the sheathed Firestorm’s Despair.

As the cluster of wooden tendrils headed towards him with about 10m to spare, Zuruel ripped Firestorm’s Despair out from its sheath with lightning-fast intent while simultaneously stepping forwards. The end result – a razor sharp current of heated wind that traced the blade’s movements and shot 40 meters forwards. Aware of Kyuushu’ location, Zuruel ensured the blade of wind would simply hack through the incoming wooden pillars without hurting Kyuushu, his horse or anyone else he recognised as an ally along the way. If any pillars still remained, he’d make a conscious effort to make a note of them and how many were still heading towards him as his hearing caught the sound of flames or embers roaring against the wind. A moment later, he utilised his senses to identify the presence of two creatures. One 10m from Lady and another 5m for himself. “Who do you think you’re attacking?” He thought to himself as he heard the beast charging towards Lady’s location. All this foliage was beginning to come in handy. A lumbering beast such as that couldn't charge silently even if it wanted to. Immediately, he prepared to strike at the air while triggering the Thermal Enhancement in his blade.

A moment or two later he locked onto the Kunai in Lady's pouch and in a flicker of light, he appeared 1m away from her and only about a swords length away from the beast. Zuruel timed the attack so that from the moment he appeared, his sword had burst into flames and lunged forwards nine times in a movement so rapid that all the lethal thrusts seemed to blur together into one single fiery attack targeted at the beast's vitals. The moment he finished, Zuruel triggered the seal in his left hand by snapping his fingers to summon a tower shield around his left arm in a puff of smoke and adopted a guard stance. He couldn’t risk leaving himself exposed in case the beast survived his strikes. Either way though, at this close range, the Kedoin would be able to hear three things from the creature – assuming it possessed any of them. It’s heartbeat, breathing and blood flow.

---

As Zuruel teleported to defend Lady, her companion immediately made her aware of the foe mindlessly beating its chest some distance away. Made aware of its location, Lady strung together a set of handseals to create a Jade Mirror in between herself and the gorilla-like creature to act as a wall in case it charged at her. Given the opportunity, she’d then string together a further set of handseals to force the mirror to spew out five Jade clones. Immediately, all five prepped a further series of handseals while moving away from the direction of any potential threats to trigger the Tearing Crystal Falling Dragon technique. If that happened unimpeded, the five clones each crystallised the air around them and each unleashed three crystallised dragons for a total of fifteen. Five would immediately swim through the fog and attempt to wrap around the beast Zuruel was facing to ensure it was restrained while the remaining ten did the same to the gorilla. While restraining their respective targets by constricting around their bodies, the crystal dragons utilising their jagged shapes and fangs to tear at the beast’s necks, eyes or anything else they could get their sharp teeth and bodies around.

Items

Imperial Firestorm’s Despair – Perfected
Rank: "S"
Type: Main, Piercing/Slashing, Sword

Effect: A finely crafted Nodatchi (Great Sword) that radiates flames capable of incinerating anything that falls under the laws of creation. Once expertly crafted by a mortal named Ryutatsu, the blade has since been used to slay a great and terrifying fire Wyrm, the blood of which tainted and eroded the weapon – requiring its cursed and warped metal to be reforged by the original smith into an item of Legendary status.

Special: Tendrils of dense volcanic smoke constantly obscure the weapon from view; masking all of its details and protecting it from Divination Jutsus, Rituals, and Items as if the user was constantly under the effect of non-detection. On command, twice per day the wielder can empower the specs of volcanic ember to unleash a brilliant light. When activated, all creatures within a 6m radius of the user are blinded for 1 round. Bearing an affinity to the Blood Bonded wielder, Firestorm’s Despair can hold and channel a single Touch-based Jutsu at a time; and the volcanic smoke twisting around the weapon can be utilised to increase its striking distance by 2m once per day.

Drawback: Creatures that are more than 1 alignment step away from the user are sickened while using, holding, or wearing this item. Blood Bonded to Zuruel, the spirit of Solerius will only allow the weapon to be held by the Kedoin himself or members of his bloodline. If disarmed, Solerius will return the weapon to Zuruel’s hand at a speed of 20m per second unless something can prevent the entity from doing so. Bearing a twisted sense of loyalty to the man that slaughtered it, anyone attempting to wield Firestorm’s Despair other than Zuruel or those loyal to him must make a Fortitude Save of 20 or else Solerius will force the weapon to leap from the wielder’s hand. Even if the possessor can stave off this struggle, Solerius’s subjugation will prevent the weapon from harming Zuruel and his comrades in any shape or form. Weapon damage will decrease by -2 if the Spirit Amber embedded inside the hilt is destroyed and by a further -2 if the weapon is not sharpened with Jorga's Whetstone each week.

Description: Identification: Very Difficult; Hardness: 12; Armour Points/Inch: 30. A Fever Iron Nodatchi crafted by the master smith Ryutatsu Kyoudo. Once a regular mortal weapon, Firestorm’s Despair has since achieved Imperial status by being reforged after slaying Solerius, the Devil Wyrm and Lord of Cinder. Due to the fine craftsmanship and cursed metal, this weapon does +44 Armour Points of Damage and +24 Armour Points of Fire Damage per hit (Fire Damage will increase to +44 if the Thermal Enhancement is activated). Due to the intense heat capable of reducing most metals into a molten puddle, Firestorm’s Despair can ignore all Hardness, up to 5 Points of Damage Reduction and as a Non-Movement, can convert half of its damage inflicted as Fire Damage. Continuous contact with the flames will also deal 10 Armour Points of Fire Damage each second (20 against Ice Defences). Cursed by the spirit of Solerius, the weapon hungers for destruction and can slay even Incorporeal creatures by bypassing any dodge bonuses or damage reductions associated with the Incorporeal status. Additionally, when the user speaks ‘Awaken, Solerius!’ as a Non-Movement, a feeling of absolute Despair and dread will fill the hearts of the ‘audience’ (Despair: The enchanted creatures suffer a -2 penalty to Saves, -5 to Attack Damage, and -10 Skill Checks). A Will Save of 26 will nullify this effect. Lastly, due to the single stem of Dragon’s Maw carved and woven around the blunt end of the Nodatchi, the wielder may swing the blade in a wide arc movement to unleash a 5m cone of flame capable of dealing 120 Armour Points of Fire Damage. As a more focused version of this ability, once per day the wielder can instead unleash a Chakra Ray at any target within 10m as a Ranged Touch attack. On a successful hit, this will deal 60 Armour Points of Fire Damage.

Limit: May only be crafted by Ryutatsu 'Little Wolf' Kyoudo.

Gosei Ryuu: Ryusen (Dragon Strike)
Rank: "B"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: User takes a step back and cuts the air in front of them through a dimensional rift in a sphere shape.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Picture The basis of Gosei Ryuu techniques. The user stands with their sword in the sheathe. Grabbing the handle of the sword near the Tsuba, the user thereafter steps forward with the front leg while unsheathing the blade in a horizontal attacking motion across the body. So swift is this technique that it is akin to a "flash", taking no movements to perform. When striking, the user is able to use air to slice enemies, focusing a current of wind, to the point where it takes on a sharp edge, which the user launches at foes. Upon sheathing the sword, the user must sacrifice a movement to do so. Depending on the user’s Class Level depends on the distance of the strike.

"D" Class - Travels 10 Meters
"C" Class - Travels 15 Meters
"B" Class - Travels 20 Meters
"A" Class - Travels 30 Meters
"S" Class - Travels 40 Meters

Limit: Must Learn from a Master of Burēdono Kenseijin, Must know all Stances.

Flying Thunder God Technique - Duration: Instantaneous. Range: Country to Country so long as the Countries are connected. The technique used as a complement to the Flying Thunder God Seal is a space-time technique in which the user follows the trace of their seal and moves directly to it. Upon completion of this technique, the user will vanish in a flash of yellow chakra and move within 2 meters of the Flying Thunder Dragon Seal. If more than one Seal is within range, the user can determine which is which and select the appropriate seal easily. Because this technique is able to affect anything that is in contact with the user or somehow connected to their chakra, the user can also use this technique to teleport other objects or people. To perform takes up no Movements, however uses up Handseals equal to a "B" Rank Jutsu. Uses up Chakra equal to a Healing Hands (Minor).

Gosei Ryuu: Kuzu-ryūsen (Nine-headed Dragon Flash)
Rank: "S"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: This technique is a formidable technique which utilizes Shinsoku (lit. God-speed) to the fullest extent; dealing nine strikes to the most fundamental targets of swordsmanship (Kara Take, Kesa Giri, Saka Gesa, Hidari Nagi, Migi Nagi, Hidari Kiriage, Migi Kiriage, Saka Kaze, and Tsuki), all at the same time.
Special: ---
Drawback:
Description: These points are the focus of the technique as they make up the basis of one’s guarding stance, regardless of style or weapon. So with the Kuzu-ryūsen, attacking all nine all at once, guarding and dodging becomes virtually pointless. Unlike the multiple strike attack, Ryūsōsen, all nine strikes of the Kuzu-ryūsen carry lethal force. However, weight and power play a critical aspect in the effectiveness of the technique. This means, even if the move is executed without flaw, the force behind the technique will differ from wielder to wielder depending on their class in weight and arm strength. Essentially, a "lighter" Kuzu-ryūsen would be overpowered by a "heavier" Kuzu-ryūsen.
Limit: Must Learn from a Master of Burēdono Kenseijin, Must know Gosei Ryuu: Ryusen (Dragon Strike)

Crystals vaporize into nothingness as they are dismissed. At first, the user's crystals are no more durable than standard crystals, having a hardness of 10 and only able to withstand 40 armor points of damage before breaking. Only 5 cubic meters of crystal can be created at a time when Crystallization is first learned. The durability and quantity of crystal can be increased with additional training.

[Kyodai Hyuuga]

Kyodai immediately listed and analyzed the threats against the group quick as thought. Hampering Fog, danger level moderate. Eyesight of his fellows would be limited, further it was thick enough to make movement harder. To him it wasn't nearly as bad as it could be with his x-ray sight. So he caught the secondary danger. Root or some sort of reaching wood seeking to further hamper movement and entrap. Danger level was as well moderate. Whatever this wood golem god creature was it was making a decent opening salvo.

But that wood unless reinforced would be able to broken through. Kyodai began striking out against it before it could close the cage with Palm Strikes. Normally this wouldn't be much damage but his hands were suddenly flaming without hand seals or even chakra activation. The strikes were further damaging because of the Concussive and heat draining force in each blow out side of the burning fire. This combination wood make most materials brittle and easily broken. This was if any more wood made it through the destruction the witch made.

Before he could get more then a blow against the root things though his enhanced sight caught the fast approaching water dragons. With speed of thought once again his hands were coated in a chakra harder than steel. It was the Chakra Scapel technique reformed into a shielding technique that even the most powerful casters would have a time penetrating. His efficient use of pure chakra without needing seals was something that set him apart from others. Each hand was able to catch a dragon a piece breaking them apart leaving the third about to get him in the stomach.

That was until he proved he did know the Hyuuga Jyuuken arts. He spun like a top excluding out a bunch of chakra but only was needed to completely repel everything in a five meter radius. He effectively protected himself and cleared the cage that was trying to envelop him. Luckily Seraph and the others were just outside that radius. Hakkeshou: Kaiten was a secret art of the Hyuuga clan for generations. While enveloping his hands with renewed Chakra to catch that last dragon to be sure.

Rank: "C" (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 Handseals 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%.

[Coal]

What the fuck? Still the technique that the tree had used occurred, creating wooden clones that were standing within its palms, also launching abilities of their own so shortly after birth. A little unfair. As the charge was made however, vines of some kind would explode out of the earth, converging on the pair as they rushed toward the tree, and this was becoming a rather random melee of sorts to be sure. Pathetic. Souten was a war trained mount and a few vines would not be enough to stop him in the least, not even slow him down.

A leap! Souten would be high in the sky, leaping over the roots below that tried to tangle him up and crush him, additionally leaping over the blade of pressure and the flames given off by Shinzy and Krystal respectively, both in order to save him it would seem and that was much appreciated. Souten would land without missing a beat, the Charge still in its prime, and Kyuushu would begin to strike out at the pillars that would be attempting to protect the tree from his run by. Each strike with his blade would shear the pillars, although he was only able to strike twice, while Souten would deftly maneuver in angles no untrained horse could maneuver, keeping Kyuushu safe from jungle jail until they were back some twenty meters away. This is too dangerous for Souten right now, I’m gonna have to send him away. Damn tree is targeting him. Three sharp clicks of his tongue against the roof of his mouth and Souten was retreating, Kyuushu now on the ground, only his Naginata in hand and his bag on his back.

[Souten Exits]

“We should probably regroup! This thing has us far too separated and too much utility!” Kyuushu would retreat from the battlefield that was the clearing, heading toward Krystal, who would still be near to Zuruel and Lady. They were all handling themselves well, but it seemed that a cavalry charge would not cut it, as these creatures seemed to be able to produce an infinite amount of wood pillars and vines with no showing that they might be exhausting their chakra. “I tried to stop their chakra focuses, but it seems they are somehow too different from handseals, regardless of their use, to be stopped by me. We need to think of a plan now instead of rushing at it head first.” Kyuushu stood at the ready for any of the pillars or vines that would come his way, or any of the creatures, even any of the dragons, but it looked like nothing was coming for him for the moment. “I hear sounds of battle deeper into the forest…”

[Nira]

The combination attack against the roots (no vines) that surrounded Souten was enough to lower the incoming roots so that they could be jumped over. The burning effect, combined with an attack from Zuruel, reduced much of the roots to ash. Oddly enough, as the ash scattered onto the forest floor, it continued to glow orange.

Kystal was not able to spot any wooden clones outside of cover. None of the hands that held a wood clone had been used for anything else. The Elderwood also didn’t respond to anything being said aloud, nor did she see or hear anything that disturbed it. The wooden clones hidden in her hands were similarly unbothered.

The wooden pillars, having not been stopped, encircled Purple-Krystal and still formed a cage around her and bounded her at the neck, waist, and ankles.

Ten out of the twenty wooden pillars that were protecting the Elderwood from aerial attacks shot down towards Gold-Krystal to bind her in the same wooden cage and direct body binds as all the other humans.

Out of Character
Be mindful of what is implied by combat posts. I mentioned that twenty of the binding wood pillars lifted up to protect the Elderwood from aerial attacks—this means that the wooden pillars had no problem moving upwards. I also stated that it went after all participants—this includes Kyuushu who was on horseback and Shoko who was in the trees, so the wooden pillars did not have any problems forming their wooden cage around people who are off the ground. Additionally, Shoko was two hundred meters away, so the radius for the attack was greater than two hundred meters. With all this information in hand, floating ten meters above the ground is not enough to dodge the wooden pillars.

Be more detailed with your posts. The next time an insufficient defense is used, it will result in a critical hit. This one time, you may use the first movement of your next post to property block, avoid, or otherwise negate the wooden pillars coming for Purple-Krystal.

Shiki was able to identify the type of fog that rolled over the battlefield (Solid Fog from Water Release Ninjutsu, but boosted with Widen Jutsu from Jutsu Enhancements). However, because the fog only formed in a sixty meter radius around the Elderwood, Shiki was nowhere near any of the fog. Even if he was within the radius of the technique, he had also jumped a full ten meters higher than the height of the fog. From a hundred meters away and forty meters above, the scroll acted as no more than a banner in the wind.

Shiki’s height was, like Krystal, still well within the range of the wooden pillars. However, the ten wooden pillars heading for Shiki were eliminated when Loki’s wind strike took out their foundations.

Since the water dragon targeted the person instead of the area, it continued directly at Shiki on the treetops. The tenkai barrier successfully blocked the damage from the water dragons and still had more than half of its defensive potential remaining (480 AP inflicted to tenkai).

A moment after the first wave of water dragons, four more water dragons turned away from Loki and attacked the tenkai barrier. Once more, the barrier held firm (480 AP inflicted to tenkai).

However, that wasn’t the end of it, and another three dragons flew towards the tenkai. This set was originally aimed at Seraph, so unlike Loki it was a bit farther away from Shiki. One dragon was enough to break the tenkai, but the other two water dragons ran out of time before they could reach Shiki. Instead, the final two water dragons lost their form and fell down to the ground as a large pair of splashes.

The Elderwood’s next actions gave no hints as to whether or not the armor enchantments hid Shiki from her notice.

Out of Character:
Similar to Krystal, be sure to address all attacks—like the wooden pillars—coming your way. However, if you coordinated with Loki so that she would focus on destroying the pillars while you performed your actions, ignore this OOC comment. Good job on teamwork if it’s the latter case.

---

Loki was right to assume that her free soul was beyond the restrictions of the solid fog. She was able to move freely underwater. Air that was less dense than that was of no issue. That said, the fog didn’t reach her in the first place, so she didn’t have an opportunity to test the validity of that claim. That also meant she couldn’t quite wonder about how the water dragons were able to track their locations, since no fog was getting in their way.

In an effort to hit Loki, the four water dragons instinctively split into two pairs after they were avoided. However, given the time delay, they wouldn’t have enough time to try and follow the two Lokis before expiring. To remain useful, the two pairs of dragons instead flew straight up and assaulted Shiki’s tenkai before their time ran out.

---

Having performed a true teleportation, Seraph was able to instantly appear a fair distance away from the water dragon. Instead of wasting time chasing him down, the three water dragons flew directed upwards to the treetops. They collided against Shiki’ tenkai as their time ran out.

---

Had the wooden pillars not been taken down by Loki, they would have indeed followed after Shoko. However, this did not come to pass, so the ninja did not need to use his web-based avoidance maneuver. Likewise, he didn’t necessarily need to create a lightning clone either.

Shoko didn’t need to use shunshin to avoid the wooden pillars, because they were stopped by Loki. However, not using shunshin early on resulted in Shoko not finding out about a drastic personal weakness. Shoko had the five basic shunshin, but he never learned trace shunshin—the shunshin that functioned in dense forests and other difficult terrain. His regular shunshin was not usable in this setting, and so he was not able to give himself the charging distance necessary to use his offensive blade technique. The porgolursa reached Shoko as his first shunshin failed, and so the beast bit into the ninja’s left knee as planned (75 AP inflicted).

Out of Character:
All things considered, this is a fine post. Since I gave Krystal a recovery opportunity, I’m obligated to give you one as well. You may substitute your lightning clone usage so that it takes your place during the porgolursa attack. This will result in the porgolursa biting into a lightning clone and being immobilized. Normal shunshin still doesn’t work inside the forest, so you’ll be less than a meter behind your lightning clone. Start your next post from that position if that is what you wish to do.

Being incorporeal didn’t help much against the solid fog.

Zuruel’s overwhelming attack engulfed the beast coming for Lady with extreme heat. The goblin bear was incinerated, and its beige wooden armor lost its glow as it was burnt beyond cinders. The ashes that resulted from this attack drifted through the air, refusing to lose their glow. Before the death of the creature, Zuruel was able to confirm that it had internal organs.

Lady’s abundant crystal formed from the air, mist, and forest vegetation. The crystal dragons were not offensive enough to slay the four-armed gorilla creature, but they were able to leave the large beast restrained. The dragon bites and claws didn’t do much damage, and the beast was at least able to move its head enough to avoid getting its eyes clawed at, but the attacks prevented the beast from shaking the crystal dragons off its body.

Out of Character:
As discussed in PMs, Lady covered herself with crystal armor and Zuruel’s Hyuuga cloak was covered with pliant crystal reinforcement.

---

Kyodai nearly made more ash out of some wooden pillars, but Loki had taken out the wooden pillars beforehand, so nothing approached Kyodai. His chakra scalpel defense was barely enough to counteract the water dragons, and the Hyuuga fighting style provided an effective defense that prevented him from being struck. Due to his defenses, the water dragons were dispersed, so this set of water dragons didn’t have the opportunity to change targets like most of the others.

---

Kyuushu’s mount was protected thanks to the combined attacks of Krystal and Zuruel. His empowered slashes against the wooden pillars weren’t quite enough to create ash, but the cut sides of the wooden pillars he slashed glowed with a hot orange.

The forest was massive. Though Souten was ordered the retreat, the slowing effect of the solid fog and the sheer size of the forest meant that the light horse wasn’t able to completely abandon the battlefield in one go. The Elderwood didn’t attack the horse directly, so the mount was able to gallop out of the solid fog with its heavily limited movements, leaving it seventy meters north.

---

Everyone

Mechanic: Furious Ash

The northern floor of the clearing sparkled with scattered orange embers. Zuruel and Krystal’s combined attack against the roots that tried to capture Souten left these glowing remnants behind. The ash was hot, but it didn’t ignite any leaves, spores, or the trees. The solid fog also seemed to dampen their heat, but they were still hot enough to deliver ten armour points of fire damage to anyone who stepped somewhere in the northern section of the clearing.

Some of the ash also came from the wooden armor that Zuruel had destroyed while attacking the goblin bear coming for Lady. The ash that fell into the roaring river went dim as it dissolved into the rapid water.

The raggoth lost track of its target in the solid fog, so it simply patrolled the clearing. It circled two meters away from the wooden stomach of its master. The wooden armor granted it enough protection to ignore the heat of the glowing ashes that were scattered across the northern part of the clearing.

The Elderwood took in the information that it had gathered with her first full offensive. At least one human had a type of true teleportation. Hitting creatures with true teleportation was difficult—she needed to rely on her widest or most agile abilities for such targets. Another human had enough raw power to take down one of her Savage Blessed in one blow. The defensive power of the human that had jumped straight up was amazingly high.

The horse rider had abandoned its mount to her domain, but she couldn’t call out to dominate the horse with her natural authority. The horse must’ve been too acclimated to the human environment.

Summoning the wooden pillars from two concentrated points was a mistake. One of the humans capitalized on that mistake and took out a large portion of her binding attack. She needed to spread out her pillar origins if she repeated the tactic.

Kahiscrav mulled over the information, but she wasn’t clever enough to come up with a battle strategy right away. She needed to take a moment to constantly repeat the information in her head just to remember it. Quick combat plans were a bit beyond her for two reasons: she lacked experience, and her mind was clouded by fury. For now, she needed buy some time before her next major offensive. From what she could tell, she had at least spent less total chakra than the combined chakra usage of the humans she was trying to erase. If no strategy came to mind, she had a good chance of simply outlasting the humans.

But, then again, these humans had come so quickly after she disposed of the last group. What if another group of equal strength appeared right away? She couldn’t take a chance. She needed to end them as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Time to borrow strength, she thought.

Taking a turn for her chakra to regenerate with great assistance from her ingrained roots, the Elderwood spoke once more. The branches above her chest vibrated as usual, but this time she spoke only in Sylvan.

“Grant me a storm,” she requested.

Mechanic: Fey Weapon—Thumbra

A portal of swirling white light and rainbow-colored sparks appeared fifty meters above Kahiscrav’s left shoulder—one hundred and sixty meters above the ground. This portal was ten meters in diameter. From its white light, a massive white handle the size of a tree trunk descended towards Kahiscrav. She moved her Kahri hand down and over to the handle, coiling her thick wooden claws around it. She pulled the item down the rest of the way, revealing a titanic, pearlescent umbrella that was as long as she was tall. The portal closed once the whole umbrella was extracted.

Kahiscrav opened the massive umbrella. The dome had a radius of fifty meters, and it looked like a slightly pink jellyfish head with a spearhead on top. The tip of the umbrella fired off a massive bolt of lightning that flew directly upwards and struck the clouds above. The lightning had a chain effect that spread to all the others. These clouds blackened, but they were filled with so much lightning that they shined—enough for people inside the solid fog to notice the light overhead. The black clouds expanded in size as well, becoming massive enough to hang over the entire forest in moments.

With every passing moment, the lightning crackled louder and shined brighter. Three seconds after the umbrella’s upward lightning bolt, heavy rain began to fall, fundamentally changing the weather of the entire battlefield. The raindrops did not carry any electricity, so they did not inflict any damage, but the forest grew damp very quickly. Only the region directly beneath the massive umbrella was safe from the heavy rain, though the waters will flood into the clearing two turns later.

In another three seconds, a lethal amount of natural lightning was due to fall across the entire forest.

[Titan of Stone]

As the roots closed in both Krystal's would glance at them before flying through the pillars before they would form the cage while weaving around them and slashing their flaming claws through the pillars aiming to cleave them to splinters before flying away from the glowing orange embers and moving to meet each other in midair. With the attempt to communicate failing the shadows would spread around the golden Krystal as well leaving her gold eyes visible while the violet's shown the matching color.

With a quick nod they would both begin to fly up into the sky as taking care to avoid and counter against any other roots that would try to impede their climb towards the sky as they both begin to charge chakra through out their bodies until sparks danced across their bodies. As the tree spoke again Krystal would note the more simple sounding voice compared to earlier. However it was after that when a glowing white portal appeared and something began to emerge. Seeing the tree start to reach for it Krystal would begin to aim straight for the hand as it grasped the foreign object.

Lightning would erupt and bloom from both Krystals' bodies like a brilliant flash as they both began to spin once more before rotating around each other and melding into a massive drill engulfed in lightning and with a blazing red tip before impacting with the treant's hand. She hoped the force would be enough to decimate the treant's hand or at least disarm it maybe destroy the weapon. At the absolute least the flash of lightning and the drill would give away her location to everyone on the battlefield.

Shunryo Kokubyo-Sen (Flash God Black Cat Warrior) 120+20
Rank: S+C
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Transcends the bounds of Shunko to become shrouded in plasma.
Special: "Charge"
Drawback: Costs an S+B-rank of chakra to activate. Can only be sustained for 3 turns to begin with.
Description: As the true pinnacle of the Shunko techniques is an unseemly technique to say the least. By gathering and exerting a large amount of chakra, the user sends out waves of plasma from their body utterly destroying all clothing and overview items on their body while the plasma collects around their chest and crotch as well as their arms and legs roughly from the upper arm and leg down forming claws, and lastly it will seem to flow from any lengthy portions of their body whether it be hair, wings, horns, a tail. The shear amount of plasma being expelled from the user's chakra makes it seem to bleed into a pool on the ground on them spreading up to 5 meters from the user while doing a D rank of damage to anything within it. As for the user, the density of the chakra and plasma on their body is capable of making every unarmed hit feel like the enemy has been struck by lightning dealing S-rank damage. This technique can be retrained as a C-rank to increase it's duration for an additional turn each time.
Limit: Must have Shunkoho

[The White Wolf]

The Tenkai served it's purpose. I watched the massive tree as it continued to make it's movements. The gathering storm up above me brought a familiar sense of comfort as I could see the storm clouds forming. The drops of rain running across my armor and filling the air with scents of warm petrichor. For now the tree kept giving me more and more surprises. Chiefly that it could produce lightning chakra. If I had thrown something powerful at this monster it very well could have absorbed my jutsu. I'd be unable to cast anything that isn't specifically augmented or using force then.

The lightning probably wouldn't be an issue. But still, I wanted to be better safe than sorry. I quickly reached out with my bloodlimit and covered both me and my wifes body in an electric insulation. All incoming lightning damage would simply lowered for both me and her for the next 8 rounds. I'd keep watching the fight. What else can this thing do? When do its attack patterns start to repeat?

Furyoudoutai no Jutsu (Electric Insulator Technique)
Rank: “B”
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: see Description
Special: “Hand Seals”- Rabbit, Dog, Monkey, Tiger, Snake, Rat, Ram (Doutai no Jutsu’s seals backwards)
Drawback: The user must hold the Ram seal for the duration of the technique. This drawback can be overcome with “A” Rank Senshin Keiko.
Description: The user performs the handseals, then ends with holding the Ram seal. At this point, loose electrons are sent away from an object and all electrons are scooted close together, making the object a strong insulator to electricity, effectively decreasing the Rank of incoming Lightning-based jutsu to the effect object by one. This means that A is treated as B, B is treated as C, C is treated as D, and D is treated as E. S rank jutsu are not affected by this technique. This effect lasts for three turns, plus one turn for every rank of Difficulty Class that the user achieves.
It is possible for to affect multiple targets at once with this ability, but to do so requires that the user have the proper amount of Kyori Keiko and Houkou Keiko to do so.

Loki does nothing this round. Seraph is next.

Seraph dodged the water dragons excellently with a little bit of his teleportation. The boy watched as the 3 water dragons that nearly got him went and slammed into a tenkai used by the armored man. Then something else worried the boy and it was how dark the clouds got, Seraph didn't know if it had anything to do with the Kahiscrav, because he was not listening to anything said by the Elderwood, so he thought it was some climate change.

"OI it looks like there's gonna be some sort of lighting" Seraph said as the rain drops fell on to his hair, Seraph still felt a bit worried for himself. he never liked lightning, he could only hope to place a defensive technique quick enough before the lightning struck him hard, the boy used his Tasukeru to look around himself "hmm Kyodai seems to have care of those wooden cages pretty well" Seraph said very quietly.   

[Master Game]

Beads of sweat raced down the dark-skinned shinobi's forehead. The boy's lightning clone technique had worked just in time for the rabid beast to attack his electrocuting double instead. Barely a metre from it when it happened, Shoko had to admit it was a close call. But with the beast now temporarily stunned, Shoko simply could not delay in capitalising on this big opportunity.

With his Tenka already unsheathed and rested in a two-handed grip of the middle pair of hands, would take two lightning-quick steps forward, raising his sword as he did so. A rush of chakra channelled into the blade just as Shoko lunged it forward into the animal's left eye-socket. The chakra spreading through the Kyuushi would activate an ability that would cause its tip to extend even while still lodged in the eye. A gross squelch would be heard, as the blade reached the brain and did significant damage if not killing it immediately. But to add insult to injury, the ancient blade would also add major electrical harm to the beast.

Shoko would likely be pulling the blade out from the creature's corpse. But as he did so, the young boy would realise that he'd make a blunder in his reasoning. It seemed that the woodland deity could still sense and attack him despite being a good 200m away. Meaning the whole forest was likely under her scope of effect and that his previous strategies were now for naught. Seeing it as it was, there were only two obvious courses of actions he could take; he could either get in as close as he could and try taking it down from there, or he could turn tail and run. Staying here could only be described as foolish seeing as the Elderwood would not cease to target him and neither did he have any technique he could use to target the nature creation at this distance.

He couldn't afford to waste time nor could he afford to bail at this point in time. Focusing chakra into the soles of his feet, Shoko ran up the nearest tree in seconds. Crouching on its highest branch, Shoko toggled a few settings on his mask before making a quick scan of his environment for more hostiles and then finally zooming back in on the tree-lady. By this time the thing had began to "speak" once more, meaning the young ninja didn't have time to waste. Shoko was on the move once more, this time looking to close the distance between him and the Elderwood completely.

Once again employing parkour to his advantage, Shoko weaved through the terrain, leaping from branch to branch, breaking sweat but never breaking pace. His feat never touched the ground, only soaring and traversing his way through the treetops in an effort to rapidly close the distance between him and his humongous target.

Sutorecchi[10]
Rank: "C" rank ("B" rank after)
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: The user is capable of stretching out the Kyuushi at an additional length.
Special: ---
Drawback: Drains a C rank amount of chakra each round the technique is active. Cannot use Sen'ei-ka while this technique is active.
Description: With the Kyuushi equipped, at any given time during a fight, the user can focus an additional chakra over anything that is already stored within the sword to increase its length up to two feet. The way this works is by focusing chakra into the blade (especially the middle area), and by working alongside the blades spirit, the user can stretch the metal in the blade an extra foot and lengthen the blade without diminishing the density of the blade. This is possible because of the way the Kyuushi was repaired as the swords iron was absorbed by the spirit of the Kyuushi. Every time this technique is learned, the user can stretch the katana an additional foot. Maximum length the Kyuushi can be stretched is 5 feet.
Limit: Kyuushi in possession, Kyuushi Understanding.

Shougeki[60]
Rank: "B"
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: Having the Kyuushi equipped the user can send lightning release chakra throughout the blade of the sword allowing mild damage if stabbed in a sensitive or death enabled area in the body.
Special: ---
Drawback: Can only be used once every two posts or turns. Gives off a strong blue glow.
Description: Having the Kyuushi equipped, the user focuses lightning chakra throughout the whole blade especially the tip which makes the blade glow blue as sparks of electricity radiate from its form. This allows the user to cut a target and send the lightning chakra through the cut and numb the opponents’ body. The C rank only lightly numbs the muscle around the stab or cut for three turns while the B rank is capable of executing more lightning release through the cut and spreading out to its best ability numbing the whole body part. Further explanation of this; the C rank paralyses the specific part meaning if it were to cut or stab an opponent’s hand, their hand would be numbed and not able to be in use for three posts. The B rank paralyzes the whole body part meaning if it were to only stab a specific body part, such as the opponents shoulder, the lightning chakra would take action and numb the whole arm for 5 turns.
Limit: Kyuushi in possession, Kyuushi Understanding, Lightning Release.

[Skulking Shinzu]

Zuruel blinked as the creature he assaulted broke apart into glowing ash. Ryutatsu had truly outdone himself with this weapon. Glancing back, the grunts of a restrained creature suggested that Lady’s dragons had captured the one remaining opponent. Confirmation that the summons had vital organs was also key. Immediately, Zuruel shared this knowledge with Lady who in turn, shared it with Krystal and her clones. From this point onward, the group would know to aim solely for vitals. For a moment, the Kedoin also wondered if the ash would be an issue, but immediately dismissed the thought. Such weak heat wouldn’t get past his defences. Especially not with the cursed mark on the centre of his chest rapidly spewing strange symbols over his arms, legs and back. Rather than donning the full frightening visage of his Stage 2 form, Zuruel simply aimed to transform his limbs for a boost in strength and burst a set of wings out from underneath his clothing and cloak for added mobility after the effects of the eventual lightning strike.

“There it goes speaking again…” As Zuruel’s grip around Firestorm’s Despair tightened, Lady dashed to Zuruel’s left and remained standing on all fours between the cumbersome tower shield and his body. Here, she weaved together handseals and touched the shield to fortify it with an extra layer of crystal as a shadow loomed over the area. Zuruel had limited knowledge of what was going on from ground level with the dense trees and mist scattered in all directions even with his goggles, but he could hear the thunder. It didn’t take enhanced hearing to be able to hear the approach of such a calamity. For a moment, the Kedoin considered hiding underground if not for the fact that he still couldn’t sense the presence of any Hiraishin marked Kunai aside from the one he dropped above ground level.

By this point, the five crystal clones of Lady would have returned to Zuruel and surrounded him from all directions as tightly as possible. The five crystal dragons that could no longer target Zuruel’s foe instead spiralled high above and stacked on top of each other to form a five-layered disc of crystal to protect against what was to come. Utilising his fist curled around Firestorm’s Despair, Zuruel lifted his tower shield with both arms so that it was horizontally above him and the front faced upwards towards the dark heavens. Utilising its large size, the Kedoin hid his entire body underneath. There was also space for Lady to curl around her companion and fully hide underneath, although none for the other clones. They would be left at the mercy of the crystal dragons spiralling above.

The group were still 47m away from the Elderwood’s core, leaving them within the 50m radius of the umbrella. However, to ensure they were safe, the entire group moved as one as quickly as possible towards the Elderwood. Utilising her telepathy, for every step Zuruel took forwards, Lady moved with him and under the tower shield while coordinating the clones to follow and the five spiralling dragons overhead to maintain cover over everyone below. Even under the umbrella, Zuruel couldn’t let his guard down. There were no guarantees the dome would block anything. Prepared for the worst, Zuruel maintained the strongest guard he could that could resist being knocked away and even any residual effects of the lightning while Lady and the clones weaved together handseals to prepare the Crystal Release: Needler technique. Meanwhile, given knowledge of the presence of vitals within the four-armed gorilla, the ten crystal dragons squeezed around the creature’s torso like anacondas to prevent it from drawing breath. One dragon in particular lashed out and further wrapped around the beast’s neck the moment it pulled away to save its eyes. With vice-like grip, it squeezed as hard as it could with the intent of crushing the beast’s neck. Although if not capable of such a feat, it would likely only aid in accelerating in the creature’s eventual suffocation.

Engun Kessho no Jutsu (Crystal Reinforcement Technique)
Rank: C
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Reinforces an object with the user's crystal.
Special: Handseals
Drawback: ---
Description: Using water vapor or other particles in the air the user coats an existing object in crystal without crystallizing the object itself. The result is an item with near the same toughness as the user's skill in Shōton: Crystallization. The objects armor points is equal to half the user's skill in Shōton: Crystallization. If this jutsu is used in conjunction with Kessho Mageyasui the objects armor points are instead two ranks below the user's skill in Shōton: Crystallization. This jutsu can be dismissed without damaging the reinforced object. Mostly used by Weapon Taijutsu users looking to keep their weaponry from being damaged, or by those who don't want something destroyed once they dismiss their crystal. This jutsu does not increase an item's offensive capabilities, only its defensive.
Limit: Must know Kessho Mageyasui no Jutsu (Pliant Crystal Technique)

Tenfuin: Rapid Progression
Rank: “B” Rank
Skill: Training
Effect: Allows the user to rapidly transition between Stage Zero and Stage Two.
Special: Dedicated training in using the seal, forcing it to spread faster.
Drawback: Uses the same amount of chakra no matter how fast the seal progresses, so the user may feel as if they run out of chakra faster from progressing the seal faster.
Description: This training method allows the user the ability to rapidly force their seal to progress their seal from Stage Zero to Stage Two. Instead of taking three turns, those with this training will find themselves capable of progressing their Seal from Stage Zero to Stage Two within one turn.
Limit: Must have the Tenfuin Stage Two

Tenfuin: Partial Transformation
Rank: “A” Rank
Skill: FuinJutsu
Effect: Allows the user the ability to only partially transform body parts under the effect of the Seal.
Special: Special training that allows the user to only partially transform.
Drawback: If only certain parts of the body are transformed, then the full effects of the Stage Two Tenfuin cannot be realized (Divide the effectiveness of the Seal’s bonus depending on the number of limbs transformed, the more the better – ex: Head, Chest, L. Arm, R. Arm, L. Leg, R. Leg; If only the L. Arm is transformed, then only 1/6 of the seals benefits are given, and only given to that arm).
Description: This ability can be used to surprise the opponent, especially in hand to hand combat. The user will partially transform their body, allowing only a portion of their body to gain the benefits of the seal, like increased strength. The upside to this is that partially transforming consumes less chakra (1% max / turn), as well as allowing the user to strategically use their transformations for balance, aerodynamics, etc.
Limit: Must have Tenfuin: Rapid Progression

Turtle Knight's Stance
Rank: "B"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A towering stance allowing the user to withstand massive damage against all types of attacks.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: By planting their feet, staying low to the ground with their shield at the ready, the user roots themselves firmly in place, immovable. While in this stance, the user may not move from this spot, but gains several benefits for doing so. If the user has Improved Uncanny Shield the user is treated as having 1 Class Level higher than normal, their Shield bonus is treated to have +8 Hardness towards their Guard Meter, and the user gains a resistance against knock back attacks. The user may be knocked backwards half the distance of a knock back, however they will not be fallen to prone position. Knock Back resistance techniques stack with this technique. Voluntarily moving beyond 2 meters per round ends this stance automatically, but should they be moved not of their own violation, they may retain the stance.
Limit: Must be an Armiger. Must have mastered Armiger.

Little Wall
Rank: "C"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: User can contort their body into the shield for full protection.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: User can contort their body behind their shield to gain more security. Whenever the user uses full defense, the user gains full cover while gaining their Guard Meter.
Limit: Must be an Armiger.

[x4] Enduring Shell
Rank: "C" (Special, See Description)
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A technique allowing the user to endure after effects of techniques.
Special: ---
Drawback: May be learned 4 Times.
Description: By tightening up behind their shield and dropping low under its protective aegis, the user learns to minimize the risk they suffer from Jutsus and after effects that would cause them harm. Normally when in Guarding Position the user will suffer a Guarding After Effect Damage (Ex: Burns from Fire/Electrocution from Lightning/Knockback) equal to 20% of the full attack. Each time learned the effect is reduced by 5%. When the user learns this technique the 1st 2 times they train it as a regular "C" Rank Jutsu. When the user learns this technique the 2nd 2 times they train it as a "C" Rank Jutsu +10 Training Points.
Limit: Must be an Armiger. Must know Shield Focus.

[x40] Shōton: Kesshō (Crystal Release: Crystallization)
Rank: "C"
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: The user learns how to arrange the structural lattice of their crystal techniques. The more the user learns Crystallization, the more crystal can be produced, and the more durable that crystal becomes.
Special: Handseals
Drawback: ---
Description: The user is able to perform this technique at a distance of 120 meters plus 60 meters per class level. The Duration of the Jutsu is 5 hours per Class Level. Crystals draw their strength from their precise structural integrity. The user must learn Crystallization before all other Shōton techniques, to grasp how to keep their crystal in a solid mass. The user infects substances with their chakra, then rearranges their structure into a rigid crystal lattice. Crystallization destroys substances used to create crystal due to this rearrangement. This technique can crystallize solids, liquids, and particles in the air to generate crystal. The user may dismiss any of their own crystal creations with a movement. Crystals vaporize into nothingness as they are dismissed. At first, the user's crystals are no more durable than standard crystals, having a hardness of 10 and only able to withstand 40 armor points of damage before breaking. Only 5 cubic meters of crystal can be created at a time when Crystallization is first learned. The durability and quantity of crystal can be increased with additional training. Each time learned, the user can create an additional 5 cubic meters of crystal.
After learning this technique a total of 10 times, the crystal will have a hardness of 15 and 80 armor points. Crystallization requires an additional 10 TP per tech to learn.
After learning this technique a total of 20 times, the crystal will have a hardness of 20 and 120 armor points. Crystallization requires an additional 10 TP per tech to learn.
After learning this technique a total of 30 times, the crystal will have a hardness of 25 and 160 armor points. Crystallization requires an additional 10 TP per tech to learn.
After learning this technique a total of 40 times, the crystal will have a hardness of 30 and 200 armor points. Crystallization can no longer be retrained further at this point, the crystal lattice is considered perfected.

Limit: Must know Crystal Release.

[x3] Shōton: Haridesasu Hito (Crystal Release: Needler)
Rank: C
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Encases the user’s hand in crystal which can then launch senbon-like projectiles which explode.
Special: Handseals
Drawback: Renders the hand encased in crystal useless until the user ends the jutsu and removes their hand from the crystal.
Description: The user forms the handseals and channels chakra around one of their hands, forming a crystalline “gauntlet” around it. This gauntlet has 14 senbon-like spikes jutting out from the top of it that are roughly six inches in length. At the user’s will, they may channel chakra into this gauntlet and send a small shard of one of these spikes flying out of the front of the gauntlet at speeds equal to a tai-master of equivalent rank. These spikes home in on their targets, following them to a limited degree. Once the spike pierces a target, it will explode after 1 second has passed. These shards deal 10 points of Piercing damage plus an additional 40 armor points of Exploding damage. The user may fire up to 60 shards per use of this jutsu at a rate of 9 shards per second. These shards will shatter on their own if they do not hit something, giving them a range of 7 meters plus 6 meters per class level. This jutsu may be learned a total of 3 times. When first learned, the user learns the base form of this jutsu. When learned a second time, the user learns how to form two “needler gauntlets” instead of one, one for each hand. When learned a third time, the user learns how to double the amount of shards fired, totaling to 120 shards per use of the jutsu per hand.
