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?

Chidori (One Thousand Birds)[break] Rank: A[break] Range Close (0m ~ 5m)[break] Type Offensive[break] Handseals 3[break] Chakra Consumption: High[break]
One of the rare techniques within the shinobi world involving both shape and nature manipulation, Chidori is a Raiton based ninjutsu developed for the purpose of ensured assassination purposes. Activating the body to focus chakra to the hand, the user's hand become enveloped by an electrical force. This force is their chakra altered in nature to an electrical current. By altering the shape of the force, similar to an electrical discharge, they can decide the power and range of the attack. After concentrating all the chakra into the arm, the user rushes forward in order to use the power of the thrust from the chakra to pierce any object with the extended forearm. Due to the high speed, the force emits a sound like a thousand birds chirping which gave the technique its name. [break][break] Note: Pierces through barriers Level 6 and below, and instantly paralyzes the victim's body upon impact for the remainder of the turn it was used, presuming the strike doesn't kill the victim. This technique will remain active for one full post after being cast, before it needs to be recast.[break][break]
Chidori Nagashi (Thousand Birds Current)[break] Rank: A[break] Range Close (0m ~ 5m)[break] Type Offensive[break] Handseals -[break] Chakra Consumption: High[break]
The first variation of Chidori involves the displacement of the concentrated electrical currents all across the user's surroundings. Instead of merely focusing the electrical force to a specific point on their body, the user is now able to extend it outside of their body in general and through objects which they are holding. This allows the user to create a protective zone of electricity around their perimeter, which can shock and immobilize their foes, presumably by attacking their nervous system. When using this attack on a great number of enemies at once, it can effectively double as an instant defence. The body of the person touched by the Chidori will misinterpret the lightning nature as "electrical signals from the nerves", making its muscles contract. This causes the body to involuntarily go stiff, while at the same time receiving damage. Best of all, this attack can also be channelled through the ground to increase the range of the attack.[break][break]
Note: This technique is capable of paralyzing multiple opponents simultaneously (up to a maximum of three) for one full turn. Despite being raiton based, this technique is somewhat slower than the rest, making it relatively easy to evade it (more so due to the fact it simply covers the ground). This technique can also be applied to a weapon in order to dramatically increase its cutting strength. The user must first cast chidori in order to use this technique. This technique requires chidori to be used prior to the activation of this technique If used on a weapon this technique carries cutting power similar to level 6 strength.[break][break]
Chidori Eisou (Thousand Birds Sharp Spear)[break] Rank: A[break] Range Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m)[break] Type Offensive[break] Handseals -[break] Chakra Consumption: High[break]
The second variation of Chidori involves a similar extension of the original charge, but this time, in a more concentrated, linear fashion. On a whim the user is able to shape their Raiton Chakra to form an extending spear of pure lightning, aiming to pierce whatever it is they are aiming at. The best part? This spear takes on Chidori's characteristics, including its ability to cut through anything which stands in its path, allowing the lightning sword to strike its target with ease. Finally, this variation is similar to Chidori Nagashi in that it causes the target to go numb from the excessive electrical charge. This technique requires chidori to be used prior to the activation of this technique.[break][break]
Note: this technique has piercing power similar to level 6 strength, and move at level 5 speed when extended. [break][break]
Chidori Senbon (Thousand Birds Needles)[break] Rank: A[break] Range Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m)[break] Type Offensive[break] Handseals –[break] Chakra Consumption: High
The final Chidori variation is, as its name implies, a fully projectile version of the lightning discharge. Once the user summons their Chidori, they are able to further shape the elemental nature to form ten small, sharp senbon. Sized like normal senbon, these needles take on Chidori's characteristics, including it's ability to cut through most anything which stands in its path, and shock everything in its wake. Finally, upon impact, each senbon lets loose the full electrical potential encased within on their target. This technique requires chidori to be used prior to the activation of this technique.[break][break]
This technique has piercing power similar to level 6 stregnth and moves at level 6 speed. [break][break]
Raikiri (Lightning Edge)[break] Rank: S[break] Range Close (0m ~ 5m)[break] Type Offensive[break] Handseals 3[break] Chakra Consumption: 3x High[break]
Though little has changed in execution, the power of Chidori is now increased even further, no longer able to be withstood by normal means. The penetrative power of the Chidori is increased tremendously, but so too is the chakra cost and the toll it takes on the body. It is a more refined and powerful version of Chidori, Raikiri is capable of piercing through nearly any substance (up to the full length of the user's arm). Presuming the strike is not fatal, this technique paralyzes the opponent for a full turn. On top of this, once learned all Chidori sub-jutsu can be performed under the power of Raikiri.[break][break]
Note: Other than its penetrative strength, this technique also has a high probable cost that paralysis will occur to those struck by the full onslaught of this technique. This technique has piercing power similar to level 8. [break][break]
