When the comforts of civilization begin to dull our senses, we must never forget that in the beginning, there was war. And war. And more war. Long before there were empires, there were humans consumed with greed and the hunger for power. Resources, territories, information—these were the forms of sustenance upon which we preyed. Today, we call such habits vices. Oh, how arrogant we have become! Are we not still impelled by those primordial emotions? Is the advent of war so far-fetched? But alas, for you to truly understand, we must dive deeper into this land’s half-forgotten past.
There was a time when might was the only law that humankind knew. Fearsome clans roamed throughout the land, seeking amenable grounds within which they could take root and opposing forces against whom they could test their mettle. Given the irregularity of nature’s bounty, certain regions appealed more than others, and dominion over such coveted territories became the spark that ignited the earliest inter-clan wars. These fierce, internecine affairs tended to conclude only when one side had decimated their competition into oblivion, and many clans of story were rendered extinct during this period.
The victors of war, having claimed their territories, often made truces with surrounding locals, offering protection in exchange for access to the yields of agriculture. Over time, certain communities emerged as more dominant than others, either due to numbers or sheer talent, and their rapid expansion would force smaller, neighboring communities to either collapse into their fold or be devastated. When the dust settled, humankind found itself divided into the five major territories that we are familiar with today. And was the bloodshed over? With our lands obtained and our bellies filled, were we finally content?

Ninjutsu refers to any technique that utilizes chakra and allows the user to perform actions that a normal person otherwise would be incapable of doing. Unlike genjutsu, which causes the opponent to experience illusions, the effects of ninjutsu are actual and physical in most cases. Ninjutsu relies on chakra and, most of the time, hand seals to be effective.[break][break]
The hands are put in sequential positions that molds and manipulates chakra in the necessary manner to perform a technique. This is not always needed, however, and some techniques become second nature to experienced ninja, after which they can perform them at will. Additionally, many ninjutsu can be classified as an elemental techniques, in those cases where a specific element (wind, water, fire, earth, or lightning) is used. These Techniques do not take up a slot![break] [break]

Considered is a high-speed movement technique - to an observer caught in the optical illusion, it appears as if the user has teleported. This allows the user to escape or attack suddenly, should they need to. However, while a high-speed movement, if used in broad daylight, one will still be quite visible and as such, easier to be defended against. In order to achieve maximum effect, the user must to combine it with a distraction. [break][break] Note: Despite popular belief, this is not an ability that allows an individual to teleport, or even move incomprehensibly fast. It simply combines high mobility with some disruption of visibility to conceal those movements. That in mind, if you can conceal your movement, it is common for this technique to allow very long-distance dashes before enemies may notice you.[break][break]
Fuubaku Houjin (Exploding Seal Method Formation)[break] Rank: D[break] Range: -[break] Type: Supplementary[break] Handseals: 1[break] Chakra Consumption: Low[break] Fuubaku Houjin is a Ninjutsu technique used by shinobi in conjunction with common explosive devices such as exploding notes. With this, the user can choose when their explosives detonate, as opposed to being at the mercy of a countdown.[break][break]
Note: This ability allows the user to detonate his or her explosive notes, as opposed to allowing them to be "timed" explosives. Without this technique, the user cannot automatically detonate their tags.[break][break]
Kai (Release)[break] Rank: D[break] Range: -[break] Type: Supplementary[break] Handseals: 1[break] Chakra Consumption: Low[break] Kai is a Ninjutsu technique which allows the ninja to avoid the effects of a Genjutsu illusion. After forming the needed handseals, the Genjutsu technique will not affect the ninja. The ninja can also use the technique on another individual who was unable to avoid the attack.

Kage Shuriken no Jutsu (Shadow Shuriken Technique)[break] Rank: D[break] Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m), Far (10m+)[break] Type: Offensive[break] Handseals: -[break] Chakra Consumption: Low[break] It's a simple technique where two shuriken, like the Fūma Shuriken, are piled one onto another and thrown simultaneously. However, depending on the way it's used, it can prove its absolute efficiency. The trick is to somehow draw the enemy's attention toward the upper shuriken. Then, they have to deal with the path of the lower, unnoticed shuriken. However, if the enemy notices both shurikens, the technique ends up losing all of its efficiency.[break][break]
Soushuriken no Jutsu (Manipulated Shuriken Technique)[break] Rank: D[break] Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m), Far (10m+)[break] Type: Supplementary[break] Handseals: -[break] Chakra Consumption: Low[break] With this technique a translucent string, both elastic and highly durable, is attached to a shuriken, making it possible to alter its path after having thrown it. An expert will have the ability to freely glide the shuriken in any direction with just a single movement of their fingertip. The first attack, challenging the enemy, is avoided and after a time-lag of several seconds, it will come from behind. Depending on the performance, the possible tactics can be infinite.[break][break]
Note: By combining this technique with a Chidori enhancement, the user may cause the wire to break the Shuriken apart into multiple sharp slabs that can be directed by the user.[break][break]

From people to animals, to inanimate objects such as weapons and items, these creations come forth out of thin air near-instantly after the seals are done and into the battlefield. Keep in mind each summoning in question requires a previous contract to be filled out. Finally, signing this contract also allows said summoning to be able to reverse summon the human ninja to their own location.[break][break]
Note: All summons have their own chakra cost, which the user will need to meet in order to bring them forth. In terms of inanimate objects, the user can summon up to ten secondary weapons for a Low amount of chakra (per summoning); on the other hand, they may summon up to five primary weapons for a Mid amount of chakra (per summoning).[break][break]
Soushuuha (Manipulate Advancing Blades)[break] Rank: C[break] Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)[break] Type: Offensive[break] Handseals: 4[break] Chakra Consumption: Low[break] Soushuuha is a Ninjutsu technique used in order to give aerial projectiles a slight edge in combat.

Note: these nails have piercing power comparable to level 2 strength.[break][break]
Konbi Henge no Jutsu (Combination Transformation Technique)[break] Rank: B[break] Range: -[break] Type: Supplementary[break] Handseals: 5[break] Chakra Consumption: High[break] Konbi Henge is a Ninjutsu technique that allows two ninja to transform themselves temporarily into another person or thing. While in the form, they can use the physical characteristics of the one they are impersonating.[break][break]
Note: Both users must know this technique. Furthermore, they can only perform jutsu that both of them know, as well.[break][break]
Shuriken Kage Bunshin (Shuriken Shadow Clone)[break] Rank: B[break] Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m), Far (10m+)[break] Type: Offensive[break] Handseals: 4[break] Chakra Consumption: High[break] Through the use of their innate ability with advanced cloning, the user will be able to create multiple clones of thrown shuriken. When used in combination with other jutsu, the technique allows the user to quickly overwhelm an enemy since, after performing the seals, multiple copies of the thrown tool seemingly pop out of thin air. The momentum, speed, weight and sharpness is all exactly the same as a regular shuriken.[break][break]
Note: The user must know Kage Bunshin. Up to a maximum of thirty additional shurikens can be created with this technique. These shuriken's have piercing power comparable to level 4 strength [break][break]
Meisai Gakure no Jutsu (Camouflage Concealment Technique)[break] Rank: A[break] Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)[break] Type: Supplementary[break] Handseals: 7[break] Chakra Consumption: High to cast, Mid to sustain[break] Meisai Gakure no Jutsu is an advanced Ninjutsu technique created for stealth purposes. After forming the needed handseals, the shinobi will summon a large amount of visually altering chakra, strong enough to coat their bodies and take effect within moments of being summoned. With this, the user can grant themselves near invisibility, which can be sustained even when motion or minimal contact occurs. Only chakra sensing methods have been shown to pierce the veil of chakra and see the hidden ninja.[break][break]
Shinranbanshou Douka no Jutsu (Assimilate All Creation Technique)[break] Rank: S[break] Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)[break] Type: Supplementary[break] Handseals: 8[break] Chakra Consumption: 2x High to cast, Mid to sustain[break] Shinranbanshou Douka no Jutsu is a Ninjutsu technique that allows the ninja to use their surroundings as a tool for battles. With this technique, the user will form the needed handseals and then touch a nearby tangible object to take on its properties. For example, if they touched nearby stone, their body will become hard as a rock in whatever desired location.[break]
Note: The maximum duration this ability can be sustained for is ten posts. Only one affinity may be assimilated per usage. If the element you have chosen to assimilate with has been destroyed (i.e you merge into a stone and it's destroyed), your character will be killed.[break][break]
Tajuu Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Multiple Shadow Clone Technique)[break] Rank: S[break] Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m), Far (10m+)[break] Type: Supplementary Handseals: 1[break] Chakra Consumption: Divides the user’s chakra evenly[break] Tajuu Kage Bunshin no Jutsu is an advanced variation of the Kage Bunshin Ninjutsu technique, reserved only for those seriously in tune with their chakra networks. Despite the ban it has earned over the toll this jutsu takes on a shinobi's chakra network, it has not stopped many Jounin level ninja from learning the technique. Instead of creating several clones, several hundred clones are created. Like normal Kage Bunshin a ninja's chakra is split evenly among the clones when created. Like the regular Shadow Clones, the clones themselves can utilize any jutsu the original ninja knows. When the clones finally disperse, any new knowledge they have gained is passed back to the original ninja and to any additional clones.[break][break]
Note: The user must know Kage Bunshin. The maximum amount of clones this technique can create is 100. The user’s chakra is divided evenly among all of the clones created. The user cannot use Shadow Clone Explosion with any number of these clones.[break][break]
Kagura Shingan (Kagura Mind’s Eye)[break] Rank: S[break] Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10), Far (10m+)[break] Type: Supplementary[break] Handseals: 1[break] Chakra Consumption: Low – 2x Mid; Low to sustain[break] Kagura Shingan is an advanced Sensory Ninjutsu technique used by all sensors, and serves as the root to the entire sensory tree. After performing the necessary handseal, the sensor closes their eyes and uses their innate ability to detect chakra in order to determine the location of their opponent by the faintest of chakra trails, as well as discerning the size of an approaching unseen force, and even their chakra capacity.[break][break]
This sensory technique can also discern whether or not a person is under the effects of a Genjutsu; which elements they have at their command (even advanced releases), and likewise mask their own chakra signature (user’s) from other sensory ninja. The focus required to do the latter (masking their signature) prohibits their other sensing abilities, however.[break][break]
Note: For a Low increment of chakra, the user can detect all chakra signatures within twenty meters of their person. For a mid worth of chakra, they can sense all chakra signatures within thirty meters; for 2x Mid, they can extend their range up to a maximum of fifty meters.[break][break]
This technique requires Administrative approval before being able to purchase.[break][break]
