Technique made weapons

[Infinite Swordsman Trace]

Just curious. If I made sticky spider gold Katanas, which are exactly like their bought counter parts... Would they survive indefinitely in my inventory? Can I use them as regular weapons would be used? This goes for Kaguya and Seitetsu weapons as well.

I've heard mixed answers on this, including from my fellow staff.

[← KIRA →]

I would say yes for Kaguya since it's simply a katana of bone which after it's pulled out, it's there. For seitetsu, I would say no simply because they are transforming their own body part into the weapon. If they kept their arm in that form, then you could say it was on them, but it's not something that you could just put away in your inventory. For Kumomusha, I would say yes that it could stay in your inventory, but not that it could always do damage since it's the chakra that allows it to be able to cut through objects; The web simply gives it the form.

huh? when you create kumamusha weapons they harden upon contact with the air, becoming like steel. I'm not seeing how that would change over time. It is not a techniques maintained by chakra.

Seems reasonable, actually. Although after sitting around a while they might get more brittle. Same with bones. As for ice...would likely melt after a while, if you stop pumping chakra into it. Seitetsu? The body part no, but any projectiles [including a sword] retrieved seems reasonable enough, though much less properly shaped than a bought one [no crossguard or grips or possibly even pommel]

It says it in the technique itself that the chakra is what makes them sharp.

They can only shoot off secondary weapons, not primary ones; unless I missed a technique.

so how long do you propose they last? Since the moment I am done creating them is the moment I am no longer channeling chakra into them, what is the point in using them? Unless they retain their sharpness for a period based on the fact that the technique is designed to create weapons, and if they retain it for any period of time it seems silly that it would be only '2 posts' or whatever when forever is just as logical.

I would like to see head staff weigh in on this.

Kumo Nenkin (Spider Sticky Gold)
Rank: C
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Makes weapons harder than steel.
Special: ---
Drawback: Takes 1 turn to form 1 weapon.
Description: Like other Kumomusha techniques involving webbing attacks that is released from his mouth, the webbing used in this attack is golden-like and is as hard as steel. Due to the chakra put into the attack, they can cut through material just like other weapons. For each time the Kumomusha Clan member trains this jutsu, they increase the size of the weapon they can make.

First Training: Fit in palm of hand, kunai/shuriken/senbon sized.
Second Training: No Larger than a katana
Third Training: Spear sized (bow sized)


Limit: Must be of the Kumomusha Clan.

Okay, first of all IRL spider silk is an organic compound, which means that eventually it will decompose over time. However, spider silk is also acidic (pH 4) and is therefore resistant to some natural factors like fungi, bacteria and acid. However, it also needs to stay moist and acidic, meaning that a dry environment and bases (soapy chemical compounds) will speed up the decomposition. Under normal circumstances, in let's say a temperate climate, the silk will stay good for a few months (IC I guess). In a dry climate it will decompose faster (About a month IC I guess). And soap... Well, it's better not to clean them. So they will have to be remade every so often, with the frequency depending on the environmental input.

Now the sharpness. The underlined part says: 'Due to the chakra put into the attack, they can cut through material just like other weapons.' This is my interpretation, the chakra is in the attack, not in the weapon. So yeh, putting chakra into the weapon when attacking should make it sharper, which also means that attacking with such a weapon slowly drains chakra.

Kaguya would remain due to the nature of the blood line.

For Kumomusha with the wording I would say they would not last from one thread to another.

Would not transfer from thread to thread for Seitetsu either.

There ya go Belt and Naka. Anything else?

Nothing further from me.

What of Kaishin? Once a weapon is made it's made, and high-level ice resists heat quite well. How long might we expect that to last?

Oh. Totally missed that >.>

SPOILER: Click to show

Koutetsu Jomei (Steel Expulsion)
Rank: "D" Rank
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Allows the user to release pieces of steel from their flesh, turning it into a projectile weapon.
Special: "Hand Seals"
Drawback: Needs to be used in conjunction with Weapon Forms.
Description: With this ability, the user becomes capable of utilizing the combination of Steel Genesis and Steel Release, as well as other Weapon Form techniques, to create a barrage of secondary weaponry to attack an opponent. The speed that the technique releases Steel from the body would be equivalent to the user's normal throwing speeds.
Limit: Must be a member of the Seitetsu Clan, must have had the Koutestu no Karada Ritual.

Koutetsu Souseki (Steel Genesis)
Rank: "D", "C", "B", "A", "S"
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Allows the user the ability to create Steel from their body in order to create larger and more powerful weaponry.
Special: "Hand Seals"
Drawback: The technique must be learned multiple times to truly understand the strength of the technique.
Description: Once the user has learned how to manipulate their body with Chakra, they will learn to rapidly create additional Steel off of their body, for an additional cost of chakra. The rank of this technique denotes how much additional Steel may be created for use of techniques. At "D" Rank, the user is capable of creating up to one meter of additional Steel from his or her body. At "C" Rank, the user is capable of creating up to five meters. At "B" Rank, the user is capable of creating up to ten meters. At "A" Rank, the user is capable of creating up to twenty five meters. At "S" Rank, the user is capable of creating up to fifty meters of additional Steel.
Limit: Must have received the Koutestu no Karada Ritual

The Seitetsu can create additional steel off their body for use for other techniques. However it cost additional chakra.

Honestly I feel that the swords should stick around like the kayuga and their bones. The entire clan says "steel", you just create steel weapons and your body into steel. I don't see why the steel kunais or swords you create off your body wouldn't stick around as normal swords.

And of course they would be gripless ect. (all steel)

Chakra is needed to make it but not sustain it. I never cared about Kaguya and others to create those weapons for personal usage. Just don't sell them.

Alright then. Lockable.
