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?

Jiongu (Earth Grudge Fear)[break] Rank: SS[break] Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m)[break] Type: Supplementary[break] Handseals: 10 to devour the heart[break] Chakra Consumption: High associated with devouring a heart; Mid per turn, per limb spent manipulating the threads in clusters[break][break]
To acquire Jiongu a player undergoes a procedure during which the ninja’s body is infused and organs are replaced with a countless number of black tendrils leaving only functional components of the body heart, eyes, lungs. Because of this, and the resistance of the thread, they boast +3 Strength & Defense.[break][break]
In order to steal a heart and other functional components from their victims the user must capture said victim, and hold them still for a single turn to completely absorb their heart using there black threads.[break][break]
The user may select one of any compatible elements from any heart they devour. Hybrid elements, so long as the Jiongu user possesses the Heart for them, count as a single element. Any fatal damage or blood loss to the user of this technique will destroy the user’s natural heart. Any subsequent hearts will have to be destroyed directly, and are visible and stored in the particularly obvious-to-spot masks on the user’s back.[break][break]
The user will completely die when all the hearts are destroyed. The user may have a total of five hearts (including their natural heart) within their body at a single time. Once a heart is destroyed, the user loses the ability to manipulate the elemental chakra associated with that heart. The User may replace their natural heart if its destroyed with one of their stolen hearts if the users body was completely destroyed.[break][break]
Note: PC (Player Character) hearts may be used to achieve additional elements. NPCs from moderated Random encounters may be used as well.[break][break]
Jiongu, Ito Kuro (Earth Grudge Fear, Black Thread)[break] Rank: SS[break] Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)[break] Type: Supplementary[break] Handseals: –[break] Chakra Consumption: x1 Mid[break] This technique allows the user to manipulate up to three threads in order to reattach severed body parts (even those of their allies), or extend a limb up to a maximum distance of five meters away.[break][break] Note: Threads share defensive properties with user.[break][break]
Jiongu, Abata-Kan (Earth Grudge Fear, Sense of the Avatar)[break] Rank: SS[break] Type: Supplementary[break] Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m), Far (10m+)[break] Handseals: 1[break] Chakra Consumption: 2x High per Avatar.[break] Each avatar will take one of the user’s four additional hearts in order to manifest, and thusly acquire the element of said heart (removing it from the user until the heart returns). These avatars are comprised of the majority of the user’s black tendrils, limiting their ability to manipulate the remaining threads in their body to Jiongu, Ito Kuro (Earth Grudge Fear, Black Thread) when two or more Avatars are simultaneously active. The Avatars cannot perform any jutsu the shinobi they acquired their hearts from, but instead, fire beams (roughly 1 meter wide) accurately up to ten meters away of the their respective element. Due to being formed from nothing more than these highly resilient black threads, the Avatar possess an incredible amount of strength and speed. The “heart” giving them life is located in their head, serving as the brain.[break][break]
Note: Avatar has level 3 speed, strength and users defense level
