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?

1. The Kibaku-Nendo Kinjutsu is only available to Ninjutsu Primary characters.[break][break]
2. Kibaku-Nendo users are only capable of utilizing two releases upon gaining it: Doton (Earth) and Bakuton (Blast), itself.[break][break]
3. The final technique, C0, requires an additional Kinjutsu Slot and must be quested for separately.[break][break]
4. Kibaku Nendo creations possess a "homing" feature. So long as they have seen their target once, these creations will track their target down and explode on demand (presuming they are out of the user's eyesight, and thusly their knowledge of when to detonate) upon breaching a one meter threshold with their target.[break][break]
5. Require Admin Approval.[break][break]
Tools[break][break]
Kibaku-Nendo Standard Molding Clay[break] Rank S[break] Type: Secondary.[break] Cost: 1,000 Ryo per Pack of 5 blobs[break] This is the standard clay used by all Kibaku-Nendo clan members. Each pack contains a total of five "blobs," which are used for Kibaku-Nendo clan techniques. The maximum amount of clay that any user can have on their person at any given time is twenty.[break][break]
Kibaku-Nendo Advanced Molding Clay Pouch[break] Rank S.[break] Type: Accessory.[break] Cost: 5,000 ryo per pouch.[break] A satchel made specifically for the Kibaku-Nendo's molding clay, the materials used in crafting this allows the clay within to retain its moisture and thusly its usefulness. These satchels are rather large, as well, increasing the amount of clay a user may carry by twenty. A player may only purchase two of these pouches. This takes up one accessory slot each.[break][break]
Jutsu[break][break]
Kibaku-Nendo, C1 (Exploding Clay, C1)[break] Rank C[break] Range Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m), Far (10m+)[break] Type: Supplementary[break] Handseals -[break] Chakra Consumption: Mid per hand/usage[break][break]
Description: This is considered the lowest level of Bakuton created constructs. Simple but deadly, this effective combat technique allows the clan member to use their clay to fashion creatures and animals capable of bearing their unique Bakuton chakra. After withdrawing a bit of clay from their pouch, the clan member will use their hands or mouths to fashion themselves a doll made from their clay. This technique is the mainstay for all clan members who have not mutated to have hand-mouths.[break][break]
Note: Creations made by the mouth will take a full preparation post of “crafting,” after the hand mouth has consumed the clay. This creations take a full preparation post of “crafting,” after the hand mouth has consumed the clay. This means that the creations cannot be used in the same post that the hands eat the clay.[break][break]
This technique allows the user to create up to five small creatures, such as a cat or bird, per blob of clay. Likewise, they can create five medium sized creatures (wolves, lions, larger birds for traveling, etc) per two blobs of clay. It should be noted that these explosions, at a maximum, can be five meters in size. This technique has durability comparable to level 3 defense, and explosive power comparable to level 2 strength[break][break]
Kibaku-Nendo Bunshin (Exploding Clay Clone)[break] Rank B[break] Range Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m), Far (10m+)[break] Type: Supplementary[break] Handseals –[break] Chakra Consumption: High per clone, Mid to detonate[break]
Description: As its name implies, the Exploding Clay Clone is just that - a clone comprised of the clan member's famed clay, which, when infused within their hand-mouths with the power of Blast chakra, can be detonated. Additionally, should one's opponent become intertwined with the clone, they will be held in place and unable to maneuver due to the thick density of the clay. Because of this, this clone can take attacks and capture the enemy by taking them into its own body. The clone shows its natural shape the instant a body goes through. While the clay changes in hardness, the enemy is skilfully immobilized.[break][break]
Note: Only three clones can be made at any given time, and each clone requires 5 standard clay blobs and a full preparation turn. These clones must remain within thirty meters of their creator, or they will become immobile duds incapable of being detonated. These clones may only perform the Kibaku-Nendo, C1 technique via spending the five clay blobs used to create them. Upon using all of their spare clay, they will crumble as dried clay. This technique has durability comparable to level 3 defense, and explosive power comparable to level 5 strength[break][break]
Kibaku-Nendo Kobun (Exploding Clay Minions)[break] Rank A[break] Range Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m), Far (10m+)[break] Type: Offensive[break] Handseals --[break] Chakra Consumption: High per minion, x2 Mid upkeep.[break]
As homage to the Kibaku Nendo's craftiness, Kibaku-Nendo Kobun is a technique that combines both their will to win and their desire to outsmart their targets. Utilizing their explosive clay thin cords are spewed from their hand-mouths that eventually rise from the ground, molding themselves into human-like forms. Chakra is channelled through the cords of clay that manipulate the clay substances to attack their target.[break][break]
The density of the clay is strong enough to repel and suck in tangible strikes from both armed and unarmed opponents. When cut apart, the clay substances form more human/animal like forms. The wielder can then connect more cords of the clay to the fallen clay pieces, all the while retaining their explosive properties. They can then attack the opponent and cover them with clay, which can explode at the user's behest.[break][break]
The minions in their human form are able to contort and alter their bodies in various ways as a means to incapacitate their target. By shifting around the clay that composes them they can virtually any type of melee weapon their creator can contrive.[break][break]
Note: Up to two minions can be formed initially, no further than one meter away, at a cost of five clay blobs per creature formed. The creations in their larger forms are noticeably misshapen and will stumble clumsily as they pursue their target, but will attack with strength and precision when in range. As they are divided into smaller beings their speed will increase, in turn sacrificing their strength and durability.[break][break]
Each clay blob composing a minion bears the destructive potential of a single exploding tag and each separation will represent one blob. Their weapon-like protrusions can extend no further than one meter away from their body, but the minions themselves may travel up to fifty meters away from their creator (so long as chakra is expended). Traveling past this length will result in them becoming immobile duds incapable of attacking or exploding.[break][break]
Lastly, because they remain connected to the user, the minions can be detonated at any time and ratio the user deems appropriate. Simply put, the user can cause any of their creations to explode at any time. This technique has durability comparable to level 3 defense, and explosive power comparable to level 2 strength[break][break]
Kibaku-Nendo, C2 Doragon (Exploding Clay, C2 Dragon)[break] Rank A[break] Range Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m), Far (10m+)[break] Type: Offensive[break] Handseals –[break] Chakra Consumption: x2 High[break]
One of the Kibaku-Nendo's specialties, this grand technique requires the use of both of hand-mouths in order to create a large dragon capable of flight, to the point the user can safely ride on its back. During this ride, the user can control the dragon, directing it where to go and even to attack - the dragon can spit out smaller clay figures that attack the opponent like guided missiles, as well as other offensive tactics. These independent missile-like creatures take the form of a greatly reduced version of the larger dragon that created them, yet despite the decrease in size they are still relatively larger than a normal person. Each is capable of tracking their intended target, but as they emerge, they consume a substantial amount of clay from the original dragon, initially extracting it from the creature's tail. This ultimately limits the number that each C2 "Dragon Missile" is capable of creating, before clay must be sacrificed from more vital areas, such as the body or wings. The dragon can also produce clay mines.[break][break]
Note: This technique requires ten clay blobs, and three posts to prepare at which time no other jutsu may be performed. The dragon is capable of emitting 10 missiles and 25 mines before it will then only be able to serve as a means for transportation. These mines and missiles have a three meter explosion radius.[break][break]
Kibaku-Nendo, C3 (Exploding Clay, C3)[break] Rank S[break] Range Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m), Far (10m+)[break] Type: Offensive[break] Handseals -[break] Chakra Consumption: x3 High[break] This technique is said to have the highest concentration of Bakuton chakra, and is arguably the most powerful technique in the Kibaku-Nendo arsenal in terms of raw power and destruction. It is used primarily for decimating larges areas instantly (it was said to be capable of destroying a very large portion of Sunagakure in the series). Though it takes somewhat longer than the typical bombs to make, it undoubtedly carries far more power.[break][break]
Note: The user must have at least 2x High worth of chakra remaining in order to activate this technique. This explosion covers roughly half a kilometer. This ability costs five clay blobs, and requires three preparation posts. This technique has durability comparable to level 3 defense, and explosive power comparable to level 7 strength[break][break]
Kibaku-Nendo, C0: Kyuukyoyu Geijutsu (Exploding Clay, C0: Ultimate Art)[break] Rank SS[break] Range Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m), Far (10m+)[break] Type: Offensive[break] Handseals -[break] Chakra Consumption: Massive.[break]
One of the most dangerous Kibaku-Nendo techniques, the clan member creates a giant doll that is shaped like themselves from their clay. When it ruptures, a cloud of microscopic bombs are released. Impossible to be seen by a normal person, the bombs will enter the bloodstream of anyone who inhales them, as they are smaller and finer than dust itself. Once there, the countless micro-bombs explode at user's command, causing the victims' bodies to disintegrate at the cellular level, literally turning them into dust. In creating this jutsu, the user eats the clay with their own mouth as opposed to the ones on their hands. It is important to note that the cloud of microscopic bombs contains chakra, so if the target possesses some means to see or sense chakra, then they stand a better chance of moving to avoid the attack.[break][break]
Note: For the sake of fairness, the radius of this “cloud of microscopic bombs” is only one hundred meters. They will remain active for a total of two posts before becoming “duds.” It should be noted that the user is not immune to this technique, and needs to be out of range.[break][break]
The growth of the chibi-clone is not instant; however, it is rather fast. After being activated, the clone will take one full post growing to its full extent before detonating. Users will have exactly one post to get out of the blast radius, as once it has exploded escaping is highly unlikely.[break][break]
This technique requires fifteen clay blobs, and five posts to prepare. This technique has durability comparable to level 5 defense, and explosive power comparable to level 9 strength.
