Rank: Gennin
Type: Main Weapon
Effect: The staff is a great accet towards the Shitakuma clan. Some use just a regular walking staff, but some use something else. There are different versions of the Walking staff but those who are truly great, or believe will become truly grand are those that use the Fukusu Buki Haikingu Kyoshokuin. This weapon is capable of being turned into three weapons that are a great asset towards the members of the clan. The weapons that can be created is another Long staff of equal size of the original staff, Grapling hook which is used by the Large Sectional Staff, Two Nunchakus created from the four batons, and Two Smaller Staffs created by the secondary large staff. The main part of the Walking staff is that by using the same basics as the sensory pole, it can be used to create a radar sense to help out those of the Shitakuma clan. The only difference between the sensory pole, and the staff is the length in distance that the waves produce which is twenty meters.
Special: Mostly known for the Shitakuma Clan. Can only be created by the Shitakuma clan due to specifications as well as desires needed for this weapon.
Drawback: ---
Description: The walking staff is created of a length in fifty eight inches and a diameter of two inches. The staff has different designs and looks depending on the user. Reasons why is so then the length of the staff can be a directness to keep those who wish to harm the user away from them. The staff can divided up into three weapons when divided in half. The lower half when twisted in a certain way by a switch, along with a strong pull can create another staff of equal size. Along the middle of the newly staff, when twisted by a switch and pulled the staff can be divided up into two small staffs, or sticks that is capable for smaller range combat where each stick is in the size of fourteen inches and a half. The upper half of the staff is capable of being turned into two nunchakus by a couple of twists of a few switches. When pulled out the weapons show that wires are in place of the small batons keeping them in place in order to keep them as a nunchaku. The wires are in the length of eight inches, while the batons are in the length of seven and one forth of an inch. Now on the way lower half of the staff where a knob is located, if a certain switch that is pressed which is about six inches higher then the knob three sectional long attaching are shown to create a grappling hook. Within the staff is wire that is ten times of the length of the staff creating a great asset for the user by making a lengthily weapon.
Limit: Others may use it, but is greatly favored towards the Clan of the Shitakuma.
Cost: 2000 Ryo

Personality:

To say Tsunade is bold would be a gross understatement. She is not bold, but bold. Her total bravery is occasionally considered to be stubbornness or pigheadedness (both of which are indeed some of her personality traits). However, her bravery is not stupidity, but a desire to help.

Tsunade likes to help. Because of this, she will often take matters into her own hands, providing aid in any way she sees fit. Unfortunately, these ways are often not seen fit by others (e.g. officers of the law). Because of this, she has gained a reputation as a vigilante. She likes to think of herself as a great hero, destined to help others and save the world. On the other hand, this helpfulness can also bring in a few less desirable traits.

Because of her dislike of people getting in her way, Tsunade can become stubborn. Although this can be considered perseverance in many people, this is untrue for her. She simply won't back down. Often, this will lead to fights over the simplest of things. However, her strong will, along with many people pitying her because of her blindness, means that she usually gets her way. This suits Tsunade just fine, although it can sometimes get her into trouble. The arguments she has with authority often get her in trouble. On the reverse, it is not Tsunade's own choice to get into trouble. Her religion tells her to.

From a young age, she has practiced a religion (name unknown) devoutly. This philosophy suggests that one should never back down, and constantly search for their god (who is referred to by Tsunade only as 'our saviour.' However, she apparently created both the religion and the god herself, a psychological anchor to give meaning to her ninja way. Although she herself does not know it, the 'saviour' she refers to is any goal that she strives for. Whether it is helping others (an important creed in Tsunade's 'Bible') or trying to improve one's self, everything is an important part of her life. This peculiar psychological facet has formed Tsunade's self, making her who she is today.

Despite the nomadic nature of the Shitakuma, Tsunade often yearns for a home. Almost since birth, she has wished for a real place to live. Luckily, she has been given that chance. Tsunade is also very personable. In other words, not only does she like being in a home, she also enjoys being with others. With her personality, she may not seem very personable. Still, she yearns for companionship, something she can not have in her own family.

Appearance:

At first glance, it is not clear Tsunade is a Shitakuma. Although it is clear she is blind, she has a slight green tint to her eyes, as opposed to the usual white of the Shitakuma. Although in most circles this would not be an issue, it brought up rumours of illegitimacy within the clan. For the most part, though, she resembles a true Shitakuma. Her jet black hair (a common trait) is tied up in a fairly tall bun, secured with a green and tan headband. To give her look some Shita flair, she secures this band with a pair of Soundballs. During ceremonies of Amegakure, she will substitute her headband for an official one from the village.

Tsunade's clothing is fairly common for a traveler. She wears a regular sized kimono, light green in colour. Over this, she wears a tan sleeveless sweater-kimono, clipped at the right shoulder. She also wears a black belt around her waist, studded with gold nubs. During travel, she will wear a long cape, the same green colour as her kimono. She will also wear a swamp green hat, secured by a piece of fabric of the same colour. This hat is also worn with the outfit she uses for tournaments and other planned battles (Picture).

Tsunade also has a different outfit for Shitakuma ceremonies. It is identical to her regular clothing, save for the colouring. The tan is replaced with silver, the light green with crimson. Her hat is changed from a traveler's hat to a more prim looking one, with a sky-blue colouration. Both the cape and the vest bare the symbol of the Eye of Ra. These clothes are not worn during normal travel, since they are much more expensive and more important then her usual clothing.

Tsunade has 2 walking staffs, as well as one sensory pole. One staff is a very classic staff, a long piece of wood gnarled at the tip. During official Shitakuma business clansmen are expected to use only the staff and other jutsus to move along the ground. However, Tsunade (along with most members of the clan) use a Multi-Weapon stick, as well as a sensory pole to get an upcoming view. Usually Tsunade hits the Sensory Pole against the ground, folds it, and continues on for about 100 metres.

History:

Tsunade's exact beginnings are unknown. Only 5 things are known about her birth and early life:

1. She was born to Himiko Shitakuma and an unknown male. Whether this man was a member of the clan or a regular person.

2. During this period, Himiko was talking a leave from the clan, making the exact parentage or even the man's village.

3. Tsunade's birth name was Toph Shitakuma.

4. Tsunade was never considered a true Shitakuma, and was thus shunned by the other members of the clan.

5. She showed a remarkable aptitude for the Earth Release.

Recording of Tsunade's life doesn't begin until she was about 6 years old. Tsunade (Toph at the time) was traveling with the central Shitakuma caravan, which was passing through the Rain Village. This is the first time she met the man who was to become her teacher, Jason Arilani. At this point, Toph was tired with the clan. From the exclusion to the bullying, she just wanted to get out. Although she begged to be allowed to train with Jason, it was instantly rejected. It crushed her.

That day, Toph turned... hard, her anger coming to a head. She became much more outgoing, and started disrespecting the elders of the clan. Throughout several towns, she hired several tailors (with money 'funded' from the Shitakuma treasury) to sew her new clothes, without the Shitakuma colours or emblems. Afterwards, she tried several times to escape, without success. To the elders of the clan, she was simply the hizoku (rebel) of the family. To those that met her on her various 'excursions,' she was the Buraindo Hizoku (Blind Rebel). Toph soon adopted this as her alias. Later, she discarded the name Toph altogether and called herself Tsunade, after the legendary hero.

Finally, the elders had had enough. They considered her... a problem. They debated back and forth for days about what to do with her. Some suggested simply letting her run off. Others believed it was better to simply punish her until she was subservient. Finally, it was one of the lower-ranked members who hit on the best choice: send her to Jason Arilani, the man who she had wanted to train with all along. First, however, she would need to train as a Rain shinobi. With the permission of Kenryoku (who was visiting relatives at the time), all was set. The next 6 months were a whirlwind of activity.

Tsunade learned everything she would need to know about being a regular ninja. She learned basic ninjutsu, genjutsu, and taijutsu. Finally, she was completely ready. In a brief (but official) ceremony, she was free of the clan (temporarily). However, she didn't have time to enjoy it. In a very 'here's your hat what's your hurry' manner, Tsunade was unceremoniously dumped in the Rain Village, left to her own devices. Now, she is heading out from Amegakure, trying to find the home of Jason Arilani.

Shitakuma Techniques[/u][/color]

Kusokesuni (Hells Drownout)
Rank: "C" Rank x5
Skill: NinJutsu (Somewhat)
Effect: With the use of one's ears and when a person needs to use their sense of hearing to see, the Kusokensuni is a specialized technique in which the user of the Shitakuma clan is capable of drowning out certain sounds waves up to certain frequencies. Example: If a Shitakuma member is in a large battle where their is a fairly amount of yelling and fighting going around, the person is capable of drowning out all sounds to a certain frequency for example like lets say the sound waves that is being pushed from the ground giving more stability. The technique must be learned ten times. Reason why is due to the fact that each time learned a user is capable of drowning out up to a certain amount. When first learned the user is capable of drowning out frequencies up to ten thousand hertz. After mastered the user is capable of drowning out up to one hundred thousand hertz of frequency. Remember a normal human is capable of hearing up to twenty thousand, this is way beyond then that of a regular body.
Special: When first learned the user needs to use the hand signs of Boar, Dragon, Tiger, and Horse. After the first time, hand signs is not needed.
Drawback: Drawback is that the user must train in this type of technique more then once in order to drown up higher frequencies. Another drawback is the fact that they are only capable of listening to one frequency at a time, so in a sense if they wished to listen to their own comrades, it be slightly more difficult that creates a massive confusion in which case may go against each other for a moment or two until the sounds is justified to where they understand.
Description: The way this feels is that the user is capable of drowning out certain frequencies in which they can hear certain sounds to accurately pin point where they need to go. What is interesting was the way this works, basically it is like a strong sensory. Within the mind of the user all sounds are muffled to an extent as the sound they concentrate on comes forth with more of accurate sense. The sensory and the sounds still work, in which they are capable to see. Example if there were a strong amount of yelling, the sound waves that hit the ears still react in which they can still use as a radar to help them move about (Acts like they can see figures) but of course does not damage the user's sense of balance and hearing.
Limit: Only those of the Shitakuma clan is capable of performing.

Heightened Touch
Rank: "C" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: By having a heightened sense of touch a user can concentrate their chakra along their fingertips concentrating along the oil of the fingers to where the user guids their fingertips over ink created lettering so then a user can gain the ability of reading without the knowledge of brale.
Special: ---
Drawback: If the writing is smugged it takes more difficulty for the user to read. If there are no ink smuges or really if something was not created with ink, then the user will not be able to read.
Description: The user concentrates on their chakra as they push it down to their hands. Doing so the user concentrates on their chakra to gather, to wrap around the oils that accumilates against the fingers, as this happens the user guides their fingertips over bits and pieces of the lettering. The oils act like a reader as they move in and out of the skins as the brain waves capture the feel. Within the mind of the user they capture vibrant pictures that enables the user to somewhat "see" the letterings within the mind.
Limit: Shitakuma Technique

Sensory Breathing
Rank: "C" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: When manipulating the chakra along their nostrils as they breathe out the Shitakuma clan is capable of producing out a sensory system of sound waves that is higher then that of a human ear can pick up. This is known as the Shitakuma Echolocation inner system. What is created is a sonar frequency that can not be heard by human ears by breathing out in a small distance that enables the user to almost see by their ears without relying solely on sounds around him. When first learned the user is capable of producing the sonic waves of hyper frequency to a distance at a maximum of ten meters. Each time learned the distance increases by ten meters.
Special: ---
Drawback: You are only capable of pushing off to a certain distance. The only way the distance can be increased is by how many times you train within the same type of Jutsu.
Description: It works like a Radar, or really is considered as a human Echolocation. When the sound waves pushes off bouncing against objects, the sound waves bounce back hitting against the users ears making it seem as if the user is capable of seeing in a sensor type manner. When the distance is increased it seems as if brain slightly remembers a certain area until the waves bounce off the objects once again. Using this they are capable of seeing shapes and figures, but not to the extreme IE reading, or how much money they have.
Limit: Only those of the Shitakuma clan is capable of learning.

Tremor Sense
Rank: "D" Rank x6
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: By pouring their chakra into the ground, by using th earth release the user is capable of sensing or seeing in a sense what is along the ground, in the ground, identifying what is around them.
Special: ---
Drawback: Someone needs to touch the ground in order for the person to see. This means that even the user can see by stepping. This also means that the user must be touching the ground at all times. This technique does not work on water, sand, or metal or ice. Reasons why is because of how each is constructed. The ground is to loose for the user to see the vibrations along the ground, or is to concentrated which creates less vibrations.
Description: When first learned the user is capable of seeing in a radius of five meters. After each time learned it increases by ten meters. When ever the user steps, or when another steps in the radius of tremor sense, the mind of the user picks up the vibrations along the feet creating a somewhat of a picture of the user. Since people have water constricted within their own bodies as well as metalic components of the body a user could see the movements of the body in blur like motion, where they can guess if an attack is coming towards them. This is the beginning stage of the tremor sense technique and is the foundation of the tremor sense techniques. When learned their is a thirty percent chance that the user is capable of defending against melee attacks within arms reach. This however does not mean that after each attack someone comes forth to role a die. It just means that the chances of trying to stop melee attacks is not as well or as concentrated as one would wish it to be.
Limit: Anyone can learn, but it takes an extreme amount of chakra unless they master earth techniques or is part of the Shitakuma clan. Can only be learned if learning the blind way of life.

Tremor Sense Advanced
Rank: "C" Rank x3
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: By pouring their chakra into the ground, by using th earth release the user is capable of sensing or seeing in a sense what is along the ground, in the ground, identifying what is around them.
Special: ---
Drawback: Someone needs to touch the ground in order for the person to see. This means that even the user can see by stepping. This also means that the user must be touching the ground at all times. This technique does not work on water, sand, or metal. Reasons why is because of how each is constructed. The ground is to loose for the user to see the vibrations along the ground, or is to concentrated which creates less vibrations. By this time the user has a more of a sense and understanding over the movement of vibrations. This is not a drawback but by now the user is capable of sensing vibrations off of the sense of ice. Now this does not mean that the user can see with the distance as Tremor Sense and Tremor Sense Advance for Ice, only Expertise gets to allow the user see with Ice vibrations.
Description: When first learned the user is capable of seeing in a radius of five meters. After each time learned it increases by ten meters. When ever the user steps, or when another steps in the radius of tremor sense, the mind of the user picks up the vibrations along the feet creating a somewhat of a picture of the user. Since people have water constricted within their own bodies as well as metalic components of the body a user could see the movements of the body in blur like motion, where they can guess if an attack is coming towards them. The technique here does not stack with the original version the first step of the technique. This means that this technique can never overlay the first step of Tremor sense. What this means is this. If a user knows Tremor sense of a Hundred meters, then they can not surpass that distance with Tremor Sense Advanced. The advanced form is much better to be capable of seeing then that of the First step. When learned their is a thirty percent chance that the user is capable of defending against melee attacks within arms reach. This however does not mean that after each attack someone comes forth to role a die. It just means that the chances of trying to stop melee attacks is not as well or as concentrated as one would wish it to be.
Limit: Anyone can learn, but it takes an extreme amount of chakra unless they master earth techniques or is part of the Shitakuma clan. Can only be learned if learning the blind way of life. Must have Tremor Sense that surpases in distance of Advanced

Kusomimi (Hell's Ears)
Rank: "C" Rank x3
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: Without this Jutsu the Clan is capable of just listening with sharpen hearing. What this Jutsu does is by using the chakra along their eardrum, labyrinth system, as well as the outer ear of the body the user makes their ear into something of a sonar. This sonar system enables the brain to remember certain points by sound wave frequencies that hits the ear from a pebble hitting the water, to a person walking along grass. The Sonar system enables the Shitakuma clan to basically see. This is greatly used when Rain falls down for every time a drop hits the ground it emits a sound so basically they are capable to see for the first time in their lives. When first learned the distance that one is capable of understanding and remembering is the distance of fifty meters. After each time learned the distance goes up by twenty meters.
Special: The first time learned the user must do the signs of Dragon, Rabbit, Dragon, Ram. After the first time there would be no need for the seals.
Drawback: Must be trained into this more then once. Without the proper training of a technique such as Kusokesuni and Advanced version sounds could cause dizziness or damage to the user. The sounds to create this must be sounds that are greatly abrupt and fast which must be near the ear like a Flash/Bang grenade.
Description: When sound frequencies hit the ear it creates a sonar in which the mind remembers in a certain distance until the sound waves hit the ear once again. It looks as if the user is capable of seeing in such a way but it is just a technique that enables the user to know where to go and how far objects are at. They are capable of seeing shapes, and size, but the thing is they are not capable of seeing defined objects.
Limit: Only a technique for the Shitakuma Clan

Tremor Sense Expertise
Rank: "B" Rank x1
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: By pouring their chakra into the ground, by using th earth release the user is capable of sensing or seeing in a sense what is along the ground, in the ground, identifying what is around them.
Special: ---
Drawback: Someone needs to touch the ground in order for the person to see. This means that even the user can see by stepping. This also means that the user must be touching the ground at all times. This technique does not work on water, sand, or metal. Reasons why is because of how each is constructed. The ground is to loose for the user to see the vibrations along the ground, or is to concentrated which creates less vibrations. By this time the user has a more of a sense and understanding over the movement of vibrations. This is not a drawback but by now the user is capable of sensing vibrations off of the sense of metal. Mtal is to constricted and the vibrations is weaker so this is why this is needed. Now this does not mean that the user can see with the distance as Tremor Sense and Tremor Sense Advance for Metal, only Expertise gets to allow the user see with Metal vibrations.
Description: When first learned the user is capable of seeing in a radius of five meters. After each time learned it increases by ten meters. When ever the user steps, or when another steps in the radius of tremor sense, the mind of the user picks up the vibrations along the feet creating a somewhat of a picture of the user. Since people have water constricted within their own bodies as well as metalic components of the body a user could see the movements of the body in blur like motion, where they can guess if an attack is coming towards them. The technique here does not stack with the original version the first step of the technique, as well as the second step. This means that this technique can never overlay the first step of Tremor sense, and Tremor Sense Advanced. What this means is this. If a user knows Tremor sense of a Hundred meters, Tremor sense of Fifty Yards then they can not surpass that distance of fifty meters with Tremor Sense Expertise. The advanced form is much better to be capable of seeing then that of the First step. When learned their is a Ninty percent chance that the user is capable of defending against melee attacks within arms reach. This however does not mean that after each attack someone comes forth to role a die. It just means that the chances of trying to stop melee attacks is not as well or as concentrated as one would wish it to be.
Limit: Anyone can learn, but it takes an extreme amount of chakra unless they master earth techniques or is part of the Shitakuma clan. Can only be learned if learning the blind way of life. Must have Tremor Sense Advanced that surpases in distance of Expertise


Kusokensuni (Hells Drownout) Advanced
Rank: "B" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu (Somewhat)
Effect: Just like the regular Kusokensuni but it does not concentrate on frequencies, what this jutsu does is that it helps by increasing the amount of frequencies that can be listened to at a time. When first learned the amount increases by one, and each time learned the amount increases by one as well. Reasons for this so then if they wish to pin point certain people, they care capable of doing so.
Special: None, only reasons why is because of the fact that
Drawback: The more frequencies the user is capable of drowning out, the more of a chance the user has in which can be distorting towards the victim. Another Drawback is the fact that the user must train into this jutsu more times in order to be capable of listening to more then on sound frequency at a time when doing a drownout.
Description: The way this feels is that the user is capable of drowning out certain frequencies in which they can hear certain sounds to accurately pin point where they need to go. What is interesting was the way this works, basically it is like a strong sensory. Within the mind of the user all sounds are muffled to an extent as the sound they concentrate on comes forth with more of accurate sense. The sensory and the sounds still work, in which they are capable to see. Example if there were a strong amount of yelling, the sound waves that hit the ears still react in which they can still use as a radar to help them move about (Acts like they can see figures) but of course does not damage the user's sense of balance and hearing. With this version they are capable of hearing more then one frequency, what is interesting is that since this is more advanced they are capable of listening to individual breathing patterns in which they are capable of understanding those around if they have comrades.
Limit: Must know the basics of Kusokesuni (Hells Drownout) at least three times. Must be part of the Shitakuma bloodlimit.
