Water Release Skill
Rank: "D"
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: A prerequisite technique that allows the user to perform Water Release techniques.
Special: Handseals
Drawback: ---
Description: This technique does not count against the user's Release Training Points. Water is one of the basic elemental nature transformation techniques allowing the user to manipulate pre-existing water by turning their Chakra into Water. It takes much more ability to create the water outside the body than to manipulate what is already available or expel it from their mouths (Need Water Creation Technique from Jutsu Enhancement Techniques). Water Release techniques can not only change shape but state as well. Moreover, the water becomes more solid in the process as well, and certain techniques can even allow the user to increase the water's density or viscosity, making it a suitable element to capture the targets. Offensive water techniques seem to inflict harm from the sudden force that they exert, which would cause massive internal damage to a human. Any Save Difficulty mentioned in a technique, whether Fortitude or Will is based off of 10 + 2 per Class Level + Impeccable Will. Some Ice Release techniques need pre-existing ice, snow, or water nearby in order to be used. Techniques that require a small source of water nearby is measured between 1.5 to 6 cubic meters. Medium is measured between 6 to 30 cubic meters. Large is measured between 30 cubic meters to 350 cubic meters. Huge is measured between 350 cubic meters to 1,500 cubic meters. Colossal is measured by anything more than 1,500 cubic meters.
Limit: Must learn for Water Release NinJutsu.


It was a murky morning. The sun just starting to fight its ways across a dwindling twilight. I made my way over to the ship and took a moment as I looked over at the sea. There... where the horizon met the sky. Somewhere beyond that was where the calling was coming from. I could feel it in the surge of the waves, I could sense it in the dull pulse of the sea as it cracked across the docks and the wooden vessels that lay floating in the water. Here. Somewhere across the bay I was going to find the boat that I would be sailing under. Waling across the salt crusted wooden docks I shambled through the still sleeping town. 

It was a town that didn't rise and fall with the sun, but rather the moon. Towns like these got their trade and flow of traffic through the waters shifting and rising with the tides, not the riding and lowering of the sunlight. This was something I could reflect on. Even as a wretched soul like myself could appreciate a little bit of introspection. Even if it was about the only thing on my nature I could reflect on. The waters were rising, the tide was coming in and soon it would be time for us to leave this wretched town of matchbox houses and cheap whores. 

As the tides came in I couldn't help but feel something tingling in my gills. I could feel the water calling me. Almost as if it wanted me to just jump right in and swim. But it wasn't something physical. It was hard to explain. It was almost like something was tugging on my soul. Energy was welling up inside me. I could use this.... Whatever this is it makes me feel.... powerful.

Wind Release Skill
Rank: "D"
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: A prerequisite technique that allows the user to perform Wind Release techniques.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Wind release is 1 of the 5 basic elemental nature transformations. Most offensive Wind Release techniques are performed by making chakra as sharp and thin as possible, however, wind can also be generated as a large, concussive force to overwhelm a target. Wind-based techniques are mainly short to mid-ranged offensive techniques that combine brute force and keen precision to deal slashing damage. Wind Release also specifies in deflecting and even reflecting attacks. Wind Techniques come in 7 Wind Effects, which interfere with ranged attacks, or impose penalties on some skill checks. Wind Effects are described in the Combat section of the Player's Handbook under Weather in the Movement and Position section. Any Save Difficulty mentioned in a technique, whether Fortitude or Will is based off of 10 + 2 per Class Level + Impeccable Will.
Limit: Must learn for Wind Release NinJutsu.

As I closed the distance down the wooden pathway along the water. I stepped off the dock and was the first aboard and stirring on the ship. The ship was the size of a standard caravel. It was nothing spectacular, but it was a sea worthy vessel. At least it will be once a few of the Maintenence and repair would need to be done. The wind blew against my cheeks, I could feel a strange sensation fill my lungs. First things first the boat would need to have its lacquer revarnished. After just a short walk along the length of the dock the first thing I would get an early start on where the sails. I'd meander across the deck along the crows nest.

I'd grab the cargo netting to the crows nest the same way I had done so many hundreds of times before. Hoisting myself up along the netting I'd quickly find myself on the perch of the caravel. The wind against my frame buffetted me ever so slightly. The cold wind swept across my duster. My gills flared as I looked over to the horizon. The wind was rippling across the bay turning the waters into a sea of broken glass glinting on a rising sun. The wind caressed me bringing the scent of sea water and salty brine against my face. I would reach down and walk across the sail rigging.

With the wind behind me and the water in front of me I had all the power I would ever need. The world would be mine for the taking once more from these humble beginnings. From this pile of wood and wings of cloth I would travel the worlds oceans. The wind carried me, I could feel my blood filling with power and energy. This... I could use this.
