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?

Bashōsen (Banana Palm Fan)[break] Rank: SS[break] Type: Fan[break] Weight: 5 lbs[break] Handle Length: 1.5 feet[break] Fan Length: 2 feet[break] The Bashōsen is perhaps one of the most powerful weapons in the world. One of the Treasured Tools of the Sage of the Six Paths himself, it is much like Kohaku no Jōhei in that it does not require any of the other tools to be useful. It resembles a palm fan, replacing the usual leaves and greenery with red and white stripped feathers. It has a long handle and can be used both one handed and with two hands, with the latter giving it's swings more strength. It's feathers can be bunched together so that the weapon can more easily be concealed.[break]
Aside from it's rather odd design, the weapon carries a tremendous ability, for it is imbued with all five basic nature transformations and can summon the elements in powerful arcs should it be swung. By expending x5 High chakra, the user may create up to a 20 meter wide and 5 meter tall wave of any element they choose, each manifesting as follows below and only being able to travel 30 meters away from the user. these techniques move at level 5 speed, and have strength similar to level 6[break]
Katon: A giant wave of flames capable of searing flesh and burning through most defenses with just a touch.[break] Doton: A wave of tremors and giant rocks to cause serious blunt trauma damage (can be spiked).[break] Raiton: A wave of crackling electricity that shocks those in it's wake to death.[break] Fuuton: A gale of slicing wind capable of returning ninjutsu lower then A-Rank back, and able to cut and or cause massive concussive damage (must specify which).[break] Suiton: A massive tsunami like wave of water that persists permanently after usage. Additionally should the user be on a body of water, the wave can travel double the distance and double the speed it normally does[break] [break]
Each wave carries the equivalent strength of an A-rank technique of it's nature, meaning taking a blow from these arcs will generally be lethal. They also move particularly fast, making dodging them less feasible then defending. Finally being a tool of the Six Paths himself, the weapon is made of rare, indestructible materials and as such can defend the user against most conventional attacks.[break]
