Jelly Clones (Zerii Bushin)
Rank: C
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: One jelly clone is created by the user. When one is destroyed, jelly substance is scattered everywhere and two jelly clones form as a result. Every time a jelly clone destroyed, two more are created, overwhelming the opponent.
Special: Rabbit, Tiger, Dog
Drawback: The clones are only able to do minor punches and kicks.
Description: The Ekitai quickly creates the three hand seals and creates a large glob of jelly. It is thrown on the ground and quickly takes the identical form of the owner, however without a nucleus. The only way of getting rid of them is by freezing them or evaporating them.
Limit: Ekitai Bloodlimit

The setting is a small clearing in a forest just outside of the Mist Village. There is a small lake in the center of the open space, and there is some flora growing on its banks. The sky is clear and the sun shines brightly. Birds can be heard chirping in the trees and the occasional small woodland animal can be seen scurrying about. It's a nice, peaceful, quiet setting.

Part 1: Ekitai Mitosis

As Iname walked out to the small lake, he took the time to notice the beautiful flora of the area. He took notice of the tranquility of the area, soon to be disrupted by his training. He chose to train near a lake for a specific reason. And that was so he would not die. The Ekitai people need to replenish the water in their bodies after performing jutsus to maintain life, and so he would practice near a lake so that he could replenish his water reserves.

He had been tired upon approaching the lake, but with thoughts of training in his mind, renewed vigor was sent surging through his body. It was time to begin. He pulled from his jacket the scroll that his father had given him. His first jutsu would be the Zerii Bushin.

"A glob of jelly? Where do I create it?" he said to himself. He shrugged, for this would not be how he started training. Instead, he would begin to form the handseals needed for this jutsu. "Rabbit, Tiger, Dog..." he thought as he slowly performed the handseals. He did this repeatedly so that he could perform the handseals quickly in battle if needed. After about half an hour of continuous handseals, Iname felt that he was fast enough to be able to perform the jutsu in mid-battle.

The idea of this jutsu was not to split the nucleus into two seperate nuclei, but to use cytokinesis to split the cytoplasm instead. So, performing the handseals, Iname focused chakra around a large mass of his own cytoplasm. Using the chakra cage, he brought it up to his throat and then, in one large stream, spewed it forth onto the ground in front of him. The large mass of jelly did nothing but sit there, and Iname began to read over the scroll again. (285/300 Dehydration Slots)

It would seem that the chakra that was mixed with the glob of jelly would be what gave it form. How it would do this, Iname had no idea. But with time, perhaps it would come to him. For now, he had another idea on his mind until he could make a jelly clone with just chakra. "Rabbit, TIger, Dog!" he again thought as he performed the handseals respectively. This time as he isolated a large portion of his cytoplasm, he also divided his nucleus, but only slightly. It was an uneven division. In fact, it was extremely uneven. The small portion of nucleus he had given the mass of jelly was almost unnoticeable in the transparent membrane. He had given it just enough genetic material in which the mass of jelly could hopefully take shape.

As he spat forth the jelly substance, it began to mold slightly. Slowly, the jelly rose and began to form legs. However, the legs were slightly misshapen. Over time, the legs actually looked like Iname's legs. "Too slow..." he thought as he watched the mass rise slowly. Destroying the mass of jelly, Iname began to think. He walked over to the lake and began to wade around in the water, slowly regaining water to add to his mass. (300/300 Dehydration Slots)

As he walked around about knee-high in the lake, a thought dawned on him. Perhaps the chakra is molded as it exits the users body! Deciding to test this idea, Iname executed the handseals, gathering chakra within his body. The chakra would again cage parts of his cytoplasm and rise to his throat. "Here we go..." he thought. Taking a deep breath, he began to spew forth the large mass of jelly. As it passed thorugh his mouth, Iname sent chakra forth and molded it as fast as he could.

To his delighted surprise, the jelly glob began to take form. Much faster than it had with a piece of the genetic material. However, the shape was very crude, and only slightly resembled Iname's form. It was of course a human shape, but the features on its body were disfigured and barely looked like Iname. The only similarity between the two was the general shape. (285/300 Dehydration Slots)

As he commanded the clone to disperse, Iname realized something. The parts of him that he used to create the clone were still living parts of his body, but this thought would be used in later training. For now, he was going to give it one more try. He again performed the handseals and gathered the mass of jelly within his body. As it came together in his throat, he again spewed it forth onto the ground before him. As it exited his mouth, he would send a steady flow of chakra to mold the clone. But again, the features were transfigured and looked nothing lie Iname. He sighed, and went to take a break in the lake. As he walked in, he restored the body mass he had lost. Now, he lay underwater in the lake, simply resting. Thinking of ways to perform this jutsu...

Mugen Korosu (Infinite Breath)
Rank: D
Skill: Ninjutsu, Supplementary
Effect: People under the Ekitai bloodlimit are able to breath underwater for as long as they’d like.
Special: ---
Drawback: Some jutsus may not work underwater.
Description: Due to the evolution of the Sagasu Tribe, the Ekitai are able to breath underwater without the need to come up for oxygen. This may serve as an advantage for hiding from an opponent near bodies of water and surprise attack them. Remaining underwater is also a method of “relaxing” in order to become more energized.
Limit: Must belong to the Ekitai bloodlimit.

Part 2: Ekitai Mitosis

It was about noon when Iname awakened. He was startled to see that he had wasted so much time in the lake. He must have dozed off while thinking of ways to make this jutsu easier. He got out of the lake, slightly dissapointed in himself for wasting so much time. But some good had come out of his time in the lake, for he had a theory on how to mold the clone.

Executing the handseals, Iname gathered chakra and pushed a portion of his cytoplasm to his arm. Perhaps, if he channeled the jelly out of his palm or antoerh limb instead of his mouth, he would be able to better mold the chakra. As the jelly oozed from his palm, Iname began molding it so that it would take form.

The sight of seeing an Ekitai spewing jelly out of any part of their body is indeed a grotesque sight. It doesn't exactly paint a pretty picture in your mind if you hear about it either. But Iname had no problem with it, and neither di the Ekitai people in general. It was how they performed a lot of their jutsu.

As the jelly mass began to take shape, Iname was thoroughly satisfied to see that the details were much more refined. Upon closer inspection, one may see that the clone had a few transfigured features, but most people didn't examine one like that. However, Iname wanted to make the clone as perfect as he possibly could, and so he performed the handseals again and forced a portion of his body mass to gather on his entire right side. (285/300 Dehydration Slots)

This time, he instead had the clone step out of his body from an entire side instead of forming after exiting the body. This would make the process of forming much faster, as Iname could use the entire side of his body to mold the clone. As it completely exited the body, he turned to see that the features were exactly the same as his own. He smiled, for he was progressing faster than he thought. (270/300 Dehydration Slots)

Turning back to the scroll, he realized that the clone was supposed to be able to reform if destroyed. Not only that, but it should be able to form two clones. "The hell am I supposed to do that?" he thought. Perhaps it would reform on its own, and, based on this thought, Iname pulled out one of his kunai and began to slash through the jelly clone.

As the clone was cut, its pieces were scattered in a small area around Iname. The fragments of the clone were indeed moving, and some were even taking a slight shape. But none of it gathered together so that it could reform a clone. Sighing, he executed the handseals once more, this time issuing forth more chakra as the clone stepped out of his own body. (255/300 Dehydration Slots)

Eyeing the clone, its features were again the same as Iname's. Gripping the kunai, he began to slash through the clone once more. This time, he realized some parts of the clone gave slight resistance to the kunai, while others were cut through as if they were... Well, liquid. Curious on why this was happening, Iname formed another clone, being careful to use the same amount of chakra as the last. (240/300 Dehydration Slots)

He pierced and mutilated the clone, and realized that there was more resistance where more chakra was used to mold the clone. And, due to this excess chakra, the pieces that had more chakra were the ones that developed again after being cut. Although they only developed slightly, Iname would realize that, like muscle memory, there is a sort of chakra memory to the pieces of the jelly clone. He had not been using too much chakra to begin with, so that would mean he would only use slightly more chakra to perhaps reform the clone along with a second clone. But this was training for later, for Iname was slightly tired again from using chakra and beating up so many clones.

Returning again to the lake, Iname rested on the bottom, peering up at the sun through the water. It was not shining as brightly now, but it still warmed the water. Again, Iname dozed off into peaceful dreaming...

Part 3: Ekitai Mitosis

"Huh?" Iname thought. He woke up to see a full moon in the sky, surrounded by millions of stars. The shape of these objects were slightly distorted through the water, and Iname realized he had once again dozed off. "Ahh damnit!" he thought. Swimming to the shore, he began to resume training.

Wasting no time, he began performing the handseals. After the completion of the Dog handseal, he realized that forming the clone had become much easier. In fact, it had stepped out of his body almost immediately, and molding the chakra was almost second nature now. Smiling, Iname also realized that he had put forth more chakra than he normally did, which is exactly what he wanted to do. Pulling out his kunai again, he cut up the clone until it was left in pieces. Like he had thought, there was a type of chakra memory in the pieces of jelly, and each began to form its own part of the body that was once a clone. (285/300 Dehydration Slots)

There were even doubles of the pieces, meaning there were things such as four seperate feet or arms, or two heads, or two torsos. Iname knew that this meant that the clone would successfully form two seperate clones after being destroyed. But he didn't know how the pieces would be forced back together.

He sat down and began pondering his next problem. He only needed to find a way to bring the pieces back together to form the clones. But how?

Part 4: Ekitai Mitosis

"I got it!" he thought. What if, as he molded the chakra, he also placed small chakra strings within the body of the clone? The chakra strings would pull the jelly together as it traveled along the chakra. If two sets of strings were placed in each part of the body, then the two clones would have no trouble reforming. However, Iname would need to find a way to do this without chakra strings next time.

Testing his idea, he executed the handseals swiftly. The clone again stepped out of his body, making a perfect replica of Iname. But, as it left his body, Iname created small, almost solid, threads of chakra. Each of these threads were connected to one part of the body, all tying together in the center. There were also two sets of each thread, and this is exactly what Iname had wanted. Reaching for his kunai, he began to slash through the clone, cutting it into several pieces. (270/300 Dehydration Slots)

Just as he had planned, the globs of jelly began to trave along the small threads that he had created. Within a few seconds, each fragment of jelly had reconnected with the other parts of the body. And because there were two sets of each limb and two sets of each chakra thread, there were two seperate clones. When the jelly had come back together, two new clones arose, and Iname smiled. He dispersed them both, and now had to do the same, but without using chakra strings.

Recalling that the clone was really just a piece of Iname's own living body mass, an idea dawned on him. Perhaps he could command each piece to gather again into a clone! "Rabbit, Tiger, Dog!" he thought as he executed the handseals, respecitvely. As he did so, another clone stepped out of his body. He began to cut up the clone, and this time, he didn't give it any chakra strings. "Now... Regather and form two new clones..." he thought. And as if they had heard his thoughts, the jelly fragments began inching closer together. Perhaps each piece was able to sense the user's chakra within the other fragments, and then could draw closer to it until it reformed. However it happened didn't really matter to Iname though. He had finally done it. (255/300 Dehydration Slots)

Seeing as it was already night, Iname stepped back into the now cooling water, walking down to the very depths of the lake. He lay there, looking at the distorted moon through the water. Peaceful dreaming was upon him once more...

Supaiku Tama (Spiked Ball)
Rank:C
Skill:Ninjutsu
Effect:After forming a glob of jelly within the users palms, they mold spikes into it, and harden by compacting it together tightly, creating pressure and making it hard as a rock. A small piece of thick jelly is then stuck to the spiked ball, creating something similar to a chain.
Special:Dragon
Drawback: The spiked ball might break if crashed into a wall.
Description: After performing the proper handseal, the user quickly shapes and forms a spiked ball from their blob of jelly. Once this is completed, the ball is hardened and a piece of jelly glob is attached underneath it. This serves as a chain in order to spin the spiked ball to attain enough momentum to strike an opponent with a deadly blow. If the user misses, they are able to retrieve the spiked ball back thanks to their “chain” and try again.
Limit:Ekitai Bloodlimit.

Part 1: A Medieval Ekitai

Upon awaking early the next day, Iname walked to the shore and reached into the bag he had left on a rock. He pulled out a second scroll and opened it. He began to read its contents, nodding his head as he did so. The next technique was the Supaiku Tama. He yawned, and did some stretches, then walked over to about ten feet away from the lake. It was time to begin another glorious day of training.

Today was much like yesterday. The sun was shining, the skies were clear, and the small clearing was abundant with plant and animal life. Perhaps some would be scared away by the training that was about to take place. Reading over the scroll one last time, Iname began. The idea of this technique was to make a flail out of jelly and condensed cytoplasm. Easy enough. "Dragon!" he thought as he performed the Dragon handseal. Utilizing this handseal, Iname began to focus chakra around another portion of his cytoplasm. He moved the ball of jelly up through his arm until it eventually was secreted through his palm. Now he had to form spikes.

The only way to form the spikes in the ball was to send a surge of chakra to certain points on the little orb of jelly. As he did so, the orb shifted its shape. As the chakra was infused with the jelly ball, certain points on its surface raised up as well. These were supposed to be the spikes, but Iname couldn't seem to keep it under control. The orb began jetting out at random spots, faster and faster until eventually... It popped. (285/300 Dehydration Slots)

The jelly splattered all over the ground, shining as it reflected the sun's rays. Some animals had heard the tiny explosion and began to move away. The blue, slightly transparent figure that was Iname also reflected the sunlight. He cast rainbow coors upon the ground behind him as the light refracted within his cells. He smiled at the beauty of nature, and continued training. "Dragon!" he shouted, executing the Dragon handseal. Another orb of jelly was excreted through his palm, and this time, Iname would send a more steady flow of chakra to the orb.

Pushing out one spot at a time and then condensing it, Iname began to create small spikes on the orb. The chakra flow was steady and even, and the spikes slowly formed. However, Iname wasn't able to make them quite as large as needed without a faster, stronger flow of chakra. He knew he wasn't quite ready for that, and so he would continue to slowly make the spikes, slowly gathering speed each time he attempted this.

When he had condensed the small sike orb so that it was hard and solid, Iname infused some of his chakra with the jelly inside his hand, then pushed it to the underside of the makeshift flail. Because the jelly was infused with chakra it would become extremely sticky, allowing Iname to pull the spiked ball back to him when needed. The chakra should also make the jelly able to stretch, but he wasn't sure this was the case as of now. Grabbing a firm hold of the sticky jelly, Iname began to swing the spike ball around. The jelly chain extended about a foot before it randomly snapped, sending the spiked orb into a nearby tree. As this happened, a flock of birds erupted from the tree, fleeing from the spike ball. Sighing, Iname would begin again. (270/300 Dehydration Slots)

Again performing the Dragon handseal, the mass of jelly would come easily to his palm, due to previous training. Excreting it through, Iname would begina slightly faster flow of chakra to the small orb. He put all his concentration into simply forming longer spikes on the ball by using more chakra and more chakra control. Once a spike was formed, he would use chakra to compact it, making it hard and solid. At this point in training, each spike was about two inches long.

Now, Iname issued forth a stream of chakra along the jelly in his arm. Perhaps using more jelly and more chakra would allow for a longer chain. As he infused the chakra with the jelly in his arm, he would allow it to pass through his palm. He extended his arm with his palm facing down so that the jelly coming from his palm would attach to the spiked ball and then stretch. After the ball had hit the ground, Iname had about six inches of a jelly chain substance in his arm. The rest had allowed the spike ball to reach the ground.

However, the substance had yet to stretch, so he would surely have more than six more inches of reach with the spiked orb. he began to swing it around, grabbing hold of the jelly chain. This time, he swung it gently at first, then began to pick up speed. He felt the tension on the jelly chain and sent a stream of chakra through the chain to strengthen it. He could swing it about six feet around himself until eventually, it snapped, flying into another tree and startling another flock of birds. (255/300 Dehydration Slots)

Training was coming along quickly, and Iname felt that he would be done soon. If he was lucky, it would only take a day, like the other jutsu. For now, it was time to take a small break and regenerate some chakra, for he was constantly giving the flail chakra to maintain the chain. Sitting down on the shore, Iname kept his feet in the water as to regain body mass. He lay down, closing his eyes as he lay basking in the warmth of the sun.

Part 2: A Medieval Ekitai

After resting for a few hours, Iname rose to restart his training. Grabbing the scroll, he began to read over it once more. As he read, he realized he had been training incorrectly. The spiked ball was to be formed by molding it with both hands! So much time and chakra was wasted to create that ball with just chakra.

He became frustrated, and his body mass began to increase in heat. He calmed himself to prevent some sort of evaporation, and suddenly realized something. Now, if for some reason he couldn't use his other arm, he would be able to create the spiked ball without it. Now, he started what would now be an easier training.

Carrying out the dragon handseal, Iname focused the chakra into the jelly on his arm. He slowly emitted the jelly orb and, using both hands, began to mold it. He slowly pulled out parts of the ball to form the spikes. He only made them about three inches long now, and compressed them when the shape was finished. As he did so, he issued forth chakra to help strengthen the spikes. Now, looking upon the ball, it seemed ready to be attached to a chain.

Infusing the jelly on his palm with chakra, Iname was able to create a sticky substance. It clung to the bottom of the spiked orb and drew its own materials from Iname's body. As the ball would be swung farther, the jelly would stretch and, at its limit, begin to flow from Iname's own body. This would allow him an almost unlimited reach. It would also allow him to catch the ball again by retracting the chakra-infused jelly into his body.

At first, Iname did not give the ball a large chain. He swung it gently in a circle above his head so that the chain and the ball were always parallel to the ground. Then, he started to swing faster and harder, allowing the jelly chain to flow from his body as needed. As the reach of the ball extended, the ball and chain drooped lower. Eventually, the chain became so long that the ball was almost hitting the ground. It was then that Iname began to retract the jelly into his body. When he caught the spiked ball, he absorbed that too. (285/300 Dehydration Slots)

The chain seemed to be no problem now. The only problems that Iname could see now were the speed at which he could form the ball, the control he would have over it, and the strength of the flail. First on the list to solve: The speed at which the orb is made. Gathering a mass of malleable jelly, Iname began his work. He would quickly form the spikes, which were now at about five inches, and then compress them to harden them.

Everytime he created the ball, he would begin to mold it again so that it was a smooth, round orb once more. Then, he would start to mold the spikes again to practice speed. Each time he did this, he became progressively faster. Also, by using the same ball of jelly each time, he wasted no water inside his body. (270/300 Dehydration Slots)

After about a few hours of simply molding the jelly orb, he was able to construct it in about ten seconds. His hands moved swiftly and with incredible craftsmanship now. He looked up to see that the sun was in the center of the sky, meaning that it was about noon. His training would hopefully be finished by nightfall.

Next on the list of problems was the control of the flail. Swiftly creating a new orb and molding it to its proper shape, Iname also created chakra-infused jelly to stick to the bottom. He made the chain short but strong at first, swinging it directly in front of his body. He would occasionally aim at a nearby tree and strike it lightly. Sometimes he would even aim at a bird high in the branches. But he threw it slowly for two reasons. First, he didn't want to harm the bird. Second, he was working on control. After an hour of swinging the flail around, Iname felt he was able to control its movements.

(( Will probably continue the control of the orb in the next post. ))

Part 3: A Medieval Ekitai

*Snap!* The jelly chain broke, sending the spiked ball flying into yet another tree. Each had shattered upon impact, sending resting animals in the tree scurrying along. Sighing, Iname ran towards the lake. He took a large leap up and jumped into the middle of the lake. He began to absorb water and restore his body mass. After he had done so, he walked up to the shore and resumed training.

The mass of jelly oozed through his palm, and Iname began to mold its malleable form. He squeezed the spikes he formed to condense and harden them. He decided that he would extend them to about five inches, probably the maximum that he would ever use.

Infusing the jelly in his arm with chakra, Iname formed the chain. Again, he tried to focus on control as he extended the chain and swung the flail around. Noticing a particularly small tree across the lake, Iname decided this would be the test for control. Swinging it over his head, Iname took aim. Allowing the jelly to flow forth from his arm and body, the spiked ball easily reached the tree. However, Iname missed slightly, and he sighed.

Retracting the flail, Iname took aim again. He squinted his eyes and flung the ball. *Crack!* One of the branches broke off as the flail whizzed by it. Smiling, Iname retracted the flail and attempted to strike the tree again. *Crack!* another branch flew off, this time closer to the trunk.

One more shot should do it, and so he retracted the ball and began to swing it high above his head. Swinging the ball as hard as he could, he threw the spiked ball towards the tree. The flail shattered upon impact with the trunk of the tree, and Iname knew it was time for the last piece of training.

It was starting to get darker, and Iname had only one piece of training left. The strength of the flail was still much too weak. It shattered when it struck a tree! So, forming a paritcularly large mass of jelly, Iname began working. Molding the orb quickly and with precision, he compressed the orb between his hands. Squeezing as hard as he could, Iname would create pressure inside the spiked orb.

The pressure would begin to build up, and that would cause the ball to condense and harden. Then, he could form the spikes and condense them too. And that is exactly what he began to do. Making five inch spikes and making sure they were sharp, Iname squeezed them as hard as he possibly could. Now, hard as rock, Iname attached the jelly chain.

*Crack* The ball slammed into the tree, making a large dent in the trunk. Pulling the flail back, he saw that the material that composed the orb was slightly cracked, but more damage was obviously done to the tree. Swinging the orb again, Iname struck the tree once more. The surrounding area would be filled by birds as the resulting hit knocked the tree to the ground. The sound had scared all the animals away, and Iname sighed. Night had fallen upon the area anyway, so he wouldn't be observing the surrounding area.

Again walking towards the pond, Iname began to rest on the bottom of the lake. The calm water was refreshing, and it restored his body mass. He began to wonder about what jutsu he would perform next, if he had even mastered this one. Tomorrow was just another day of training...

Atsui Usumaku (Transitional Membrane)
Rank: D, C, B, A
Skill: Ninjutsu, Supplementary
Effect: The user is capable of controling the thickness of thier "trasitional membrane". This technique is manditory for all under the Ekitai bloodlimit. This is because it grants them their survival in battles and harsh weather conditions.
Special: ---
Drawback: Switching from ranks that are not next to each other takes 1 post (You cannot instantly switch from D rank thickness to B rank.)
Description: Every Ekitai member begins with the D ranked version of this technique and work their way up. During training, they are required to learn how their transitional membrane is capable of absorbing the air around them in order to "harden". Chakra takes a large role in hardening their transitional membrane because it mixes with the air to help with the process. In order to switch from a higher rank of thickness to a lower, the user must pump the water from inside of their bodies and surface it to their skin. Also, the user leaves their palms permeable (D ranked), thus allowing the usage of the water inside of them no matter what rank their in.

D ranked: Very thin and moist layer of skin. This is the default layer of skin the Ekitai are always in. If punched, a hand would go through them and probably get stuck (like sticking your finger in very thick jelly). This means the Ekitai feel no physical pain. Under this rank, the skin is most permeable, meaning they are able to absorb large amounts of water. Although they feel no physical pain, ninjutsu release based attacks can affect them. Also, this skin is not suggested for harsh weather conditions. Exceedingly hot or cold weather can evaporate them or freeze them easily.

C ranked: Exact manipulation of human skin. Can withstand any kind of weather conditions a human could. Since skin is more solidified, landing taijutsu based attacks are more affective. Physical attacks now cause pain.

B ranked: A harder, rock like layer of skin. An Ekitai under this rank becomes stronger when landing physical attacks. Little pain is received when attacked by physical attacks. When attacked with too much force (B rank or above) limbs might crack off.

A ranked: Skin hardens to resemble that of a metal like texture. No pain is received from both ninjutsus and taijutsus. Physical strength is increased. Speed is reduced. Unable to crack limbs. This state can only last for 3 posts before going back to D ranked thickness. Consumes a large amount of chakra.

Limit: Must belong to the Ekitai Bloodlimit.

Part 1: Finally Human

(( Writing ))

[Hakuro de Killer]

A misty blur appeared behind Iname to reveal a young gennin from the mist village of about ten years old. The boy slowly approached the training shinobi with a serious, yet apologetic face, "Forgive the interruption, but Lady Mizukage is requesting that all shinobi return to the village, gather their belongings, and prepare to evacuate. I suggest you do so as quick as possible as to not delay the movement of the village."

[Iname]

Astonished by this sudden action, Iname nodded at the young genin. "Thank you. I will gather my things at once." He was slightly panicked now. What could be happening that the Mizukage would want to relocate? Perhaps the village was no longer safe. Whatever the reason, Iname darted off to the Village gates to catch up with the evacuating village.

Shortly after his departure, Hakuro also departed for the Mist Village.
