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?

Suisho-to (Jade Crystal Blade) Rank: D Range: Close (0m ~ 5m) Type: Offensive Handseals: 4 Chakra Consumption: Mid x2, Mid (optional) Suisho-to is a Ninjutsu technique which utilizes the Crystal Element. After performing a series of handseals, the user forms a blade made of crystal that is attached to their forearm. This blade is capable of attacking and defending easily, given the tactical ability of the user. If necessary, a blade can be formed on the other arm as well, although this may be a bit unwieldy and heavy.
Note: The blades can extend a maximum of 3 feet in a curved fashion.
Suisho Kyou (Jade Crystal Mirror) Rank: D Range: Close (0m ~ 5m) Type: Supplementary Handseals: 4 Chakra Consumption: Low Suisho Kyou is a Ninjutsu technique which utilizes the Crystal Element. After performing the required handseals, the user opens their hands and manifests a large crystal mirror in the shape of a snowflake. While this technique does not have any offensive or defensive capabilities, it is required for the user to perform Suisho Bunshin no Jutsu.
Kasei Senbon no Jutsu (Caustic Needle Technique) Rank: C Range: Close (0m ~ 5m) Type: Offensive Handseals: 4 Chakra Consumption: High the user inhales, infusing some of the air in their lungs with chakra. Upon exhaling, up to five slivers of condensed corrosive acid in the shape of senbon are launched at the opponent. These acid senbon do not simply pierce like their normal counterpart; instead, upon impact they are capable of corroding thin holes in flesh and most other materials.
Note: This technique has burning potential comparable to level 4 strength, and fly through the air at level 4 speed.
Shuriken Ranbu (Shuriken Wild Dance) Rank: C Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m), Far (10m+) Type: Offensive Handseals: 1 Chakra Consumption: Mid x2 Shuriken Ranbu is a Ninjutsu technique which utilizes the Crystal Element. After performing a single handseal, the user summons 10 crystal particles that hover around them. These condense into shuriken that are then launched quickly at the opponent.
Note: These shuriken float at the user's side until they choose to launch them; this means that they can choose a number to shoot instead of doing all 10 at one time. The shuriken move in a straight line and cannot be manipulated after.
Suisho-Seiso Kantsuu (Crystal Lance Pierce) Rank: C Range: Close (0m ~ 5m) Type: Offensive Handseals: 4 Chakra Consumption: Mid x2 Suisho-Seiso Kantsuu is a Ninjutsu technique which utilizes the Crystal Element. After performing the necessary handseals, the user creates a large and sharp spear-like crystal that surrounds their arm. Like a normal lance, this can be used to jab and impale opponents, but its crystalline composition also allows the user to defend against blows.
Note: The lance encases the arm from the shoulder down and extends to double the length of the user's natural arm.
Kurenai no Kajitsu (Crimson Fruit) Rank: B Range: Close (0m ~ 5m) Type: Defensive Handseals: 5 Chakra Consumption: High Kurenai no Kajitsu is a Ninjutsu technique which utilizes the Crystal Element. After performing a set of handseals, the user crystallizes the area around a target, trapping them in a red dome. The dome's dimensions can be no larger than 4 meters in diameter, and does not extend within the ground. The crystal forms rapidly and is highly durable from both external and internal attacks.
Note: Although the crystallization process is fast, this technique is best used on immobile targets since they can still outrun the process. The dome can be broken by an attack of a higher rank than itself.
Omiwatari no Jutsu (The Gods' Crossings Technique) Rank: B Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m), Far (10m+) Type: Offensive Handseals: 7 Chakra Consumption: High Omiwatari no Jutsu is a Ninjutsu technique which utilizes the Crystal Element. After performing a set of handseals, the user places their hands on a surface. A long stream of sharp crystals are created, capable of piercing a target and even binding them because of how close together the spikes are.
Note: The spikes grow up to 2 meters tall and 1 meter wide each.
Suisho Bunshin no Jutsu (Jade Crystal Clone Technique) Rank: B Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m) Type: Supplementary Handseals: 5 Chakra Consumption: High (per clone) Suisho Bunshin no Jutsu is a Ninjutsu technique which utilizes the Crystal Element. After performing a set of handseals while standing in front of the crystal mirror created with Suisho Kyou, the user creates a clone of themselves. Unlike a normal Bunshin, the Suisho Bunshin has the ability to interact more with the environment due to it having physical substance. This allows the clone to carry out limited attacks on its target. The range of the clone is limited however, as it cannot travel very far from the original body. Because the Bunshin has crystal composition, it can withstand more blows than average before being destroyed. Upon destruction, they will explode, sending sharp shards of crystal out in a 1 meter radius.
Note: The user must know the Suisho Kyou technique in order to use this jutsu and must have it active. To perform the technique, the user needs to stand still in front of the mirror while performing the handseals to ensure proper cloning. This clone has a High x2 cap of chakra. It is limited to Crystal-based jutsu and elementary chakra channeling, including simple abilities like water walking and tree climbing, but not more advanced techniques such as Hien. The clone can withstand five attacks of a lower or equal rank, but will be destroyed by an attack of a higher rank.
Hashou Kouryuu (Tearing Crystal Falling Dragon) Rank: A Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m), Far (10m+) Type: Offensive Handseals: 9 Chakra Consumption: High x2, Mid (optional) Hashou Kouryuu is a Ninjutsu technique which utilizes the Crystal Element. After performing a string of handseals, the user crystallizes a material in the area (such as a tree, or even the air), and then morphs this into a dragon. The dragon's main purpose is to attack opponents, but it can be used as a means of travel as well.
Note: The dragon can be a maximum of 3 meters wide and 10 meters long. In addition to physical attacks with its body, if the user gives up a Mid amount of chakra per use, it is capable of firing 20 small crystal shards from its mouth at an opponent. So long as the user remains on top of the dragon it is capable of traveling any distance, but if the user is not on it its range is limited to within 50 meters.
