Nathan Uchiha

Name: Shirukume no Kusari | Chains of Omniscient Sight | [ Left-Hip ]



Description

-Looks: These are largely the replacement for Nathan's Serpent Fang Chains. The old chains, which he had since his days as a Genin, have become one of his primary weapons. However, over the years, they have become tattered, and are either need of great repair, or replacement. With his new rank of Jounin, Nathan has chosen the latter of the two options. These chains are
silver in color, and feature a weighted end. This time, instead of a fully curved blade, the blade upon the end are 8 inched curved blades that have a jagged hook sliced out of the end closet to where they connect to the chains. Furthermore, the blade itself, complete with blood drip, has refined jagged teeth on it, which give this blade more of a grinding effect, rather then a purely slashing one.

-Capabilities: Like the previous embodiment of these chains, these new ones are also composed of a steel alloy embedded with strengthening minerals. These chains are
stronger then the old ones, with links specifically designed to not recoil against pressure, so that they can hold more tension without breaking. Furthermore, the chains are really resistant to heat, and will not melt easily. Thusly, Nathan can send several of his fire techniques along the length of these chains, using them as a channel for attacking the opponent through. Lastly, the blades at the end of these twin chains are effective for slashing and ripping away at the opponent. The full length of these chains are 10 meters, and they are are usually kept coiled around Nathan's belt in specially made clips.

Story: Amaterasu. She is the incarnate of the sun, the glowing fury of the day's sky. As one of the leading deities of Shinto believes, she is one of the most powerful entities to be found within the world. These chains are dedicate to her. It is said that Amaterasu carried with her at all times a sacred chain, that she then passed down to her grandson who became the first ruler of this land. These weapons were crafted by rule in the memory of this legend, but talk their name from a different
legend. The term "Shirukume" is the name of a robe actually, one that Amaterasu sealed a fellow deity within as punishment for the trickery of the mischievous Ame-no-Uzume, a goddess of merriment. Whereas his sword is symbolic of the power to conquer demons, these chains represent the ability to conquer gods.
Name: Kaisou no Yaiba | Dagger of Reflection | [ Back-Belt ]

Description

-Looks: This is a weapon that usually comes in a pair. However, in Nathan's case, he uses a single one of these daggers. Traditionally, it is known as a trench knife, the
very same kind that Shikamaru wields. However, this is one crafted by Nathan. Made from the same steel alloy of his new sword, this knife takes on the same glossy steel color, making it very reflective and almost mirror like. The blade fits on a hand much like an iron knuckle, but with jagged bladed edges on the portion of hte blade that extends in front of the knuckle grip. This portion of the blade, along with the actual dagger, features a refine blood drip. The knuckles extend from the fist about an inch, and thusly add a cutting effect to punches. From one side of the fist, there is a blade that extends outward 6 inches, and is extremely sharp. The blade can be worn extended from either the thumb or pinky side of the hand. Though the finger grips of this blade are individual holes in which the use slips their fingers through, it is easily switched between an upward facing and downward facing position for a skilled user.

-Capabilities: This blade features the same chakra imbuing nature of the sword Nathan now wields. Thusly, he can use it to do things similar to the sword, coating it in fire, wind, or poison. However, being that the blade is not as long, and thusly has not stability to the chakra nature outside of its metal, it needs to be combined with an additional jutsu in order for this elemental extension to go beyond the blade itself. Being that metal covers the knuckles, this is a good blade to use in combination with
the sword, as it can be used to block other weapons, and thusly can potentially halt the attack of an opponent, while allowing Nathan to attack with the sword.

Story: Tsukuyomi. He is the incarnation of the moon, the great ebbing and flowing force of the world. He represents balance with his sister of the sun, and is the guardian of the night sky. This weapon is the final symbol of a three part series, completing the representation of three powerful gods who were all spawned when the first god came running out of Yomi, the
Shadowy Land of the Dead. Thusly, all three of the weapons represent how death can being a new beginning, and in some way better the world, a lesson that was hard learned for Nathan. He crafted this blade at the same time as the sword, making sure that the smaller dagger had more chakra imbuing nature then the larger blade. The reflective surface of the knife symbolically represents the final gift the gods first have to man. Along with the necklace of the sun goddess, and the sword of the god of storms, man was given a bronze mirror known as Yata no kagami. May the surface of the blade ever represent the glow of the moon, and complete the balance between fighting that is needed for victory.

Name: Akuma no Okunote | Left Hand of the Devil | [Left-Arm]

Description

-Looks: [ |Gauntlet| ] - [ |Blade|] This is a protective gauntlet worn upon the left hand. The gauntlet is made of steel, and a dark blood-red color. It covers the forearm, up to the portion of Nathan's arm that is also covered in a fishnet glove. The backhand section is the largest, and the piece is segmented so that it can allow the arm to move properly still. Furthermore, the segments] that are on the forearm have spikes that shot out towards the first, so that they can act as a guard against any blade caught by them, preventing the blade from traveling the length of the guard. The backhand piece is complete with two spikes that stick out a half a inch from the closed fist, so they ad a small stabbing effect to all of his punches with this arm. The glove is attached with straps. Thusly, it does not cover the fingers, but protects well the arm it is upon. There is additional coating on the inner arm, but not so much for defense, as the inner arm features a slender hidden blade. The blade his stored in
the length of the forearm.

-Capabilities: This is both a defensive and offense piece of armor. It is sturdy, and can withstand much force. It is designed to black against slashes and other damage to the left arm, which is Nathan's primary sword hand. Thusly, it acts as a good guard especially when Nathan misses with a slash, and is then left otherwise defenseless from his arm being extended past the
opponent he had attempted to hit. While not indestructible, the arm can withstand a good deal of force, and thusly becomes a good tool in battle. The gauntlet also features a hidden blade that is released and
retracted through a small amount of chakra being used to control it. The blade has a three part extension, though is only meant to be offensive on the final segment. The first segment is attached to the under arm, large enough to house the other two. The second part is the same length , jutting out to extent to where the final segment unleashes the incredibly sharp blade. The blade is roughly 10 inches in length and an inch in width. It can be released quickly, allowing it to serve well as an unexpected assassin blade.

Story: Yomi. To the shinto belief, this is the after life. There is not hell, and no heaven, only the Shadowy Land of the Dead. While the afterlife is not entirely peaceful, some may find rest within its pits. However, most will have to suffer for their sins, and those that do suffer at the hands of creatures known as Oni, the servants of the goddess of death. Thusly, this gauntlet represents these servants. Symbolically, it represents how the three gods of his other weapons, Storm, Sun, and Moon, were spawned by the founding god when he returned to the physical
world from having been within Yomi.

Name: Kuryuu no Enjin | Ring of the Nine Dragons | [ Right-Ring Finger ]

Description

-Looks: [ |Ring|] This is a simple ring band that has a somewhat decorative design upon it. The color of the ring is a polished bronze, being very smooth and rounded at the sides before it dips into the center of the ring, which
is completely smooth. On the outside of the ring are nine rounded squares that each contain a special symbol. The symbols look like circles with lines shooting out from their diagonal quadrants. Between these lines are crown like indentations. The ring is worn on Nathan's right ring finger, obviously since he is not married, especially not to the souls within the ring. Most who see the ring see it as a normal trinket, but when viewed with his Sharingan the ring glows extremely bright white.

-Capabilities: The ring itself is very useful to Nathan, and possess a power that only he could find advantageous. In connection with his power of the spirit
world, Nathan has created a new form of techniques known as Konjutsu, spirit techniques. These techniques user souls, and the spiritual energy that is connect with them, to manipulate the world and create man powerful techniques. While these techniques user wandering souls,
of which many can be found throughout any place giving the history of the world and the tendency of the people to die. However, there is no guarantee that wandering souls will be where Nathan is when he needs them. Thusly, this is a safeguard. The ring has sealed within it nine souls of the dead, one for each indentation. These souls are bound to the ring, and Nathan can draw them out through channeling some of the dark's chakra within it. The cost of removing just one soul is comparable to a D ranked technique. Once removed, Nathan will be able to
user the soul with one of his Konjutsus, but he must be careful, for if he uses all the souls he will have none left. He is able to refill the ring back to the max of 9 souls, but this is done after a battle is over and once he find another wandering soul to replace the lost one(s).

Story:
A practitioner of konjutsu needs to have the needed material to work with in order to take effect, much like Suiton users needed to have an ample supply of water in order to perform techniques with. However, there is another significance behind this ring. In mythology, the number nine is seen as lucy, and dragons are traditionally seen as beings of luck and majesty. Naturally,Nathan had a thing or two in connection with dragons, his name itself translating to dragon. Thusly, the name he gave to this ring, and the ring itself, is inspired by the creatures, for it is said that there is nine forms of dragons, and that dragons have nine children.
Name: Manriki-gusari [ Kuzari-fundo ] | Spike and Chain | [ Back-Belt ]

Description

-Looks: [ |Chains|] This is a traditional Japanese chain weapon with two steel-weight on the ends designed to strike, ensnare, or trap an opponent. The chain measures approximately 1 meter in length, and both the chain and the weights are made from black steel, making them harder to see in the dark. One tactic in using these chains is to bunch the chain in the fist and fling one weighted end into the face, groin, or solar plexus of the opponent delivering blunt force trauma to the area, meaning that the chain do not necessarily have to be used as a thrown weapon, through it is typical to also throw this chain in order to wrap the opponent's legs together. This chain can also be thrown before drawing
another weapon, thus possibly confusing, or surprising the opponent.

-Capabilities: The Manriki-gusari is a typical short chain weapon that possess no special powers or adverse capabilities. While the heavy and gagged end of the weapon make it good for delivering blunt force trauma when contract is made, this all depends on how the user is wielding it, for this weapon is primarily meant for being thrown so that the enemy will be bound by the chain and left defenseless or at less immobile since the length of
chain is only good for really tying the opponent's legs together.

Story: Nathan first encountered this style of ninja weapon when he was in the Land of Waves, which is the first ninja mission he was ever a member of. Used by a simple rioter, Nathan was able to overcome the effectiveness of this chain weapon by exploiting the bandits inexperience with the weapon. However, Nathan was inspired by this style of weapon, and with some training he has learned to use the Manriki-gusari, otherwise known as Shinku-fundo, effectively in combat. Nathan keeps only one of these weapons on him, having it wrapped around his supply bag on his backside.

Name: Tatehon | Shield Scroll | [ Equipment Pouch ]

Description

-Looks: This is a small, normal sized scroll that can easily fit into a pocket upon a typical shinobi flak jacket. The scroll itself is rather slender, but it does not need much paper for its purpose. The outside of the scroll is maroon, with small nub extending from either side of where the paper is rolled on it. Reversely, the inside surface of the scroll is white, with a single kanji written in blade ink upon it merely a foot within where the scroll unravels, meaning that it can easily be open and held between the arms. The kanji on the inside is that of "shield", thus implying the purpose behind this scroll.

-Capabilities: The scroll, complete with the kanji for "shield" is only used to shield the user against certain forces. While this piece of paper is not too useful, as a slew of techniques can easily break through the protective power of this scroll, a wise ninja with a good ninja sense can use it effectively knowing when and when not to employ this scroll as a means of defense. By channeling chakra within the kanji on the scroll, the
scroll serves to negate weak elemental jutsu, usually most effective against elements with no real substance, such as lightning or fire. The scroll cannot be used to block anything hire then a B rank jutsu, and even the size of the jutsu must be taken into consideration, as the
scroll only shields over the location it is placed on, meaning that residual damage can be received in areas that are not covered by the unraveled scroll. The user must channel into the scroll the same amount of chakra used in the portion of the technique they use the scroll to
shield against.

Story: To Nathan, this scroll was a gift from a fellow strategist. While not actually handed to him as a gift, it was a reward of the mind. Inspiration is the reward of the attentive. This scroll is a weapon of a strategist, pure and simple. It must be used wisely, and should not be thrown about willingly. In the coming battle that Nathan has foreseen, there will come a point where blades no long serve a purpose. Till now, he has always been the kind to carry with him multiple bladed weapons, but when it comes down to it, such weapons are only good for one intent. This is different.

Description

-Looks: [ X ] This blade is titled Makura. Makura, bonded with five souls, is nearly a living blade. Makura appears much like an elongated cleaver. Makura is slightly curved for her unique form of slicing motion, where a user will pull the blade toward themselves rather than away from themselves. This, of course, also Makura to essentially trap slower opponents and makes her dangerous from nearly any direction. Her blade, of course, is also special. As not seen within the picture [the resolution, of course, is not high enough] Makura actually possesses something that appears like a serrated edge. This is partly true. Makura has a specialty blade that has recessed edges. The blade has tiny points all across her edge and between these points a small hole is formed. Within these holes are the true edges of the blade. These specialty blade keeps the edges hidden and recessed which keeps them incredibly sharp for a very, very long time. Unlike regular straight-edge blades they will not lose their sharpness upwards of fifty years. The specialty blade also allows Makura to cut cleanly in three directions: forwards, backwards, and straight down. Another facet of the blade is the particular grind. Most blades have a sabre grind, which is basically a triangle shaped point that becomes duller as time goes on. However, Makura was made with a concave grind, which means that as her edge wears away it actually becomes sharper. Makura is a primarily purple blade with red detailing. The edge is silver in color. On the backside of the blade there are five red rings, which actually are the bonded souls. Makura is evenly balanced and has has swirling protection around the handle which is red. Additionally, there is a description on the side. Makura is about five feet in length.

-Capabilities: There are fives souls bonded to Makura. They are held within the five rings on her back side. The five souls, all female, were solely Katon users and, therefore, this blade will only accept an equally powerful Katon user. This means that if another human attempts to wield this blade without having Fire and Advanced Fire, they will be rejected and they will suffer second-degree burns on their skin where they contacted the blade. The souls, additionally, absorb a steady flow of chakra from Nathan in very small amounts and increments. If he wishes to release their power, all he must do is call upon them. The primary power of the rings is channeling Katon chakra which makes them incredibly hot and able to burn through most objects, especially flesh. A second ability of the rings is that they are able to channel Katon chakra throughout the entire blade, literally engulfing it in flames that will burn opponents from a maximum range of eight inches. The third and final ability is that the rings are able to sense nearby sources of heat [such as humans] at a maximum range of fifty meters. The rings will begin to jingle against one another when a source of heat is near.

Story: Uchiha Nathan, after coming home from a long mission, found that an old man was waiting near his house. He confronted the old man and he asked for Nathan's help. Nathan reluctantly agreed and set out with the old man after gathering some provisions. The old man took Nathan near the edge of The Fire Country where he owned a shop. The man, apparently, was a blacksmith and a skilled one at that. Wind had gotten around town that the old man was in possession of a blade with unnatural powers. Powerful people and local gangs alike had attempted to tame the blade, but it seemed that it would not accept them. The old man asked that Nathan help him protect the blade. Nathan agreed and began fending off anyone that came near. After about a month of staying with the old man and his wife, a final attack came from a far more powerful man. There were too many shinobi for Nathan alone and the old man perished within the battle. Nathan was able to vanquish all of the enemies with much difficulty and came to check on the wife. Within the wife's hand was the specialty sword and she handed it to Nathan. She said that she was going to go into hiding and that this sword was incredibly special. Her husband would have wanted it to be passed on and, thus, Nathan came into possession of Makura.

Volcanic ash consists of tephra, which are small bits of pulverized rock and glass created by volcanic eruptions all of which are less then 2MM in diameter. Volcanic ash can be formed through gas release under decompression causing volcanic eruptions [listed in Maton Technqiues as a result of varies true Magma techniques], thermal contraction form chilling on contact with water causing phreatomagmatic eruptions [when magma hits water ash comes off of it], ejection of entrained particles during stream eruptions causing phreatic eruptions [cooled magma being reduced from volcanic rock into the dust like ash].

Name: Kazanbai no Tate [Shield of Volcanic Ash]**
Rank: - [S-rank Level]
Range: Close Range (0-5m)
Jutsu Type: Ninjutsu
Elemental Affinity: Maton | Kazanbai [ Magma | Volcanic Ash ]
Clan: -
Description: This is a powerful technique for both defense and offense. No hand-signs are required from Nathan in order to perform this technique, though the shield only responds to his willful control, and so it is not an instantaneous defense. Through the control of chakra and volcanic ash, the user can control the seemingly flying ash in a way to form a shield around his entirely or in just a selected area. However, since this ash is dependant on the user's will, the user must know of where the attack they wish to block is coming from in order to be able to intercept it. This technique usually requires motion from the user's body, such as raising one's arm to cause ash to block against the incoming attack. However, because of Nathan’s intense connection with the ash, he may perform this technique without such motion, though doing so requires are greater concentration from him, preventing him from focusing upon performing other techniques. Enough force it is possible to break past this shield. Furthermore, the shield will not work when wet, as the ash becomes clumpy and slow.

Name: Kazanbai no Yoroi [Armor of Volcanic Ash]**
Rank: - [S-rank Level]
Range: Supplementary
Jutsu Type: Ninjutsu
Elemental Affinity: Maton | Kazanbai [ Magma | Volcanic Ash ]
Clan: -
Description: This technique utilizes existing volcanic ash to protect the user with an almost invisible layer of tephra that covers the entire body. This technique uses a good deal of chakra to hold the sandy ash to the user's body, but provides an exoskeleton like defense against physical attacks. With this technique the user’s body can withstand considerable force, and it is even possible to perform the substitution jutsu by using the ash, which would remain in a imitation form of the user’s body, to trick the opponent while avoiding an attack. However, the great downside to this technique is that it makes the user heavier, and while this does not affect Nathan in movement through magma, it does weigh him down greatly in water.

Name: Kazanbai Kuchiyose no Jutsu [Volcanic Ash Summoning Technique]*
Rank: C
Range: Close Range (0-5m)
Jutsu Type: Ninjutsu
Elemental Affinity: Maton | Kazanbai [ Magma | Volcanic Ash ]
Clan: -
Description: While Nathan is able to create volcanic ash through varies forms of magma manipulation, he also carries with him a special fan equipped with the kanji for "Ash" which serves as his primary mode for acquiring the versatile substance. By channeling his chakra into the fan, the kanji on which acting in the form of a seal, Nathan is able to create clouds of volcanic ash as he sweeps his fan across the area in big gusts. This type of summoning provides for the quick creation of a smokescreen along with spreading the ash across the area swiftly.

Name: Kazanbai no Shahei [Screen of Volcanic Ash]**
Rank: C
Range: Close Range (0-5m)
Jutsu Type: Ninjutsu
Elemental Affinity: Maton | Kazanbai [ Magma | Volcanic Ash ]
Clan: -
Description: By dispersing tephra particles thinner then when they are used as a shied, the user is able to create a black cloud to act as a smoke screen. The cloud, when breathed in by the opponent, can be damaging to the lungs, lowering the stamina of the opponent. However, the main goal of this technique is simply to impair the opponent's visibility. This technique uses volcanic as already in the area, and the ash is dispersed through the user's motions, mainly controlling it with the direction of her hands.

Name: Kazanbai Kyuu [Volcanic Ash Coffin]**
Rank: C
Range: Close-Long Range (0-20m)
Jutsu Type: Ninjutsu
Elemental Affinity: Maton | Kazanbai [ Magma | Volcanic Ash ]
Clan: --
Description: To perform this technique the user will need to form several hand-signs while channeling Saton nature chakra into nearby sand. This technique will cause sand to rise up from the ground and wrap around the target, restraining them in place. To control this sand the user will have to extent their hand in the direction of the manipulated sand. With this technique the user can either aim to limitedly restrain the target, such as wrapping around the legs or the arms, or aim at fully restricting the movement of the target, by causing the sand to rise up the to fully encase the target in sand. To fully incase the target is a skill that can only be performed by a Chuunin or higher shinobi. This sand can apply enormous pressure on the target, enough to break bones when used by anyone Chuunin or higher.

Name: Kazanbai Fuyuu [Volcanic Ash Floating]
Rank: C
Range: Supplementary
Jutsu Type: Ninjutsu
Elemental Affinity: Maton | Kazanbai [ Magma | Volcanic Ash ]
Clan: --
Description: This is an effective ash technique. To perform this technique the user will have to form several hand-signs before channeling Maton natured chakra into nearby sand. Nathan can also perform this technique without hand-signs, requiring from his a movement of he hands into a crushing motion of the palms. This technique will compress the ash beneath the user into a solid chunk of ash that is then levitated by the user's control over their magma chakra. With this technique it is possible to create a platform above the ground on which the user can stand. It is also possible to use this technique to create a platform under a target, and through this would not be an effective means of combat it would serve well at levitating an ally alongside the user.

Name: Kazanbai Bunshin no Jutsu [Volcanic Ash Clone Technique]*
Rank: B
Range: Supplementary
Jutsu Type: Ninjutsu
Elemental Affinity: Maton | Kazanbai [ Magma | Volcanic Ash ]
Clan: -
Description: This technique is performed with a single hand-sing and utilizes existing volcanic ash in the area. This technique creates a clone of the user out of volcanic ash. This clone appears as a perfect copy of the user, though when struck its body turns into the blackened ash it is composed over, thus physical showing the difference between the clone and the actual user. However, even when struck, this clone does not automatically dispel since it is not only solid, but also fully thick being composed of volcanic ash. This clone can take a substantial amount of damage before being reduced down to ash, and it can even absorb impacts such as punches in order to hold the target in place for the user. If fully destroyed this clone bursts apart, spreading volcanic ash across the area creating a large smokescreen. These clones are only capable of performing volcanic ash techniques and only ones of a B-rank or lower.

Name: Kazanbai Ryuu no Jutsu [Volcanic Ash Dragon Technique]**
Rank: B
Range: Close-Long Range (0-30m)
Jutsu Type: Ninjutsu
Elemental Affinity: Maton | Kazanbai [ Magma | Volcanic Ash ]
Clan: -
Description: This is a powerful attack the creates a huge cyclone of volcanic ash in the shape of a serpentine dragon, which is sent towards the opponent according to the user’s will. After performing several hand-signs the ash in the area will begin to collect in a rapidly spinning cyclone, appearing like a blackened cloud shaped to be made into a dragon. As this attack proceeds towards the target its "body" will continue to spiral with the ferocity of a tornado, making it a very deadly vortex to be trapped within especially because of the sharpened tephra debris that form small cuts all over the area of impact. Even if a direct hit is not achieved, the rapid swirling of this ash dragon can cut at the opponent if only grazed by this technique. While this is a powerful technique, it is hard to mold the vortex into the required attacking shape, making prolonged use strenuous to the user if they are not of a high enough level.

Name: Kazanbai Kishou no Jutsu [Volcanic Ash Temperament Technique]*
Rank: B
Range: Close-Mid Range (0-10m)
Jutsu Type: Ninjutsu
Elemental Affinity: Maton | Kazanbai [ Magma | Volcanic Ash ]
Clan: -
Description: This technique utilizes volcanic ash already in the area as a means of attacking. After performing a few hand-signs the user of this technique will breath in a large could of volcanic ash while collecting Maton chakra in their throat and lungs. Upon exhaling, the user will unleash a could of superheated volcanic as partials that are hot enough that you can see the embers across them. This cloud blows out a great distance from the user, and has a lingering effect on the field, severely burning anyone caught inside of these flames. However, the user is also able to ignite all of these charged tephra particles at once, forming a massive explosion, through destroying the volcanic ash that was used in the process. If the opponent is caught within this cloud when ignited, they may survive this attack, but chances are they will be in no condition for fighting.

Name: Kazanbai Kirikae [Volcanic Ash Replacement]
Rank: B
Range: Supplementary
Jutsu Type: Ninjutsu
Elemental Affinity: Maton | Kazanbai [ Magma | Volcanic Ash ]
Clan: -
Description: After performing several hand-signs, the user will transform their body into thick black ash, allowing them to survive damage from attacks as well as move in much of the same manner as a controlled smoke cloud, or a slitering line of sandy ash. Initially after performing this technique the user will appear as normal, though they will not be able to perform additional jutsu beyond Taijutsu until this technique's effects have faded, either through it being canceled, or from it being enacted. Upon the use's will, or if the user is impacted with a damage causing force, the user's body will drift away into ash, forming into a solid black cloud that still can be made to loosely have the shape of their human body. In this gaseous state, the user will be able to resist many kinds of attacks, though is vulnerable to the same weaknesses as a smoke and clouds are susceptible to. This cloud is able to direct itself towards the opponent, or travel in very slender lines, so as to infiltrate areas a purely solid person could not achieve. By condensing the ash, the user is able to form into a more solid version of this body, which will still appear sandy and black. The great downside to this technique is that in this state the user cannot perform other techniques other than ash move. Furthermore, once the user fully reforms their body into its solid form, they cannot freely return to their gaseous state without performing this technique again.

Rank: A
Range: Close-Mid Range (0-10m)
Jutsu Type: Ninjutsu
Elemental Affinity: Maton | Kazanbai [ Magma | Volcanic Ash ]
Clan: -
Description: This technique is a follow up move to Kazabai Kyuu [Volcanic Ash Coffin]. Once the opponent is trapped with the Desert Coffin, the user of this technique will channel more chakra into the sand holding down their opponent before clinching their hand shut, causing the sand to instantly constricted and crushes the target into oblivion. This move is extremely fast, so fast that the opponent does not even feel pain in being crushed out of existence. This is a devastating technique, especially because there is so much pressure applied here that the technique is followed by a brief rain of the opponent’s blood falling like droplets in the sky.

Name: Kazanbai no Banmotsu [Volcanic Ash of All Creation]*
Rank: S
Range: Close-Long Range (0-50m)
Jutsu Type: Ninjutsu
Elemental Affinity: Maton | Kazanbai [ Magma | Volcanic Ash ]
Clan: -
Description: This technique requires a massive amount of chakra along with a string of hand-signs around 30 signs long. Using concentrated Maton chakra as a means of "infecting" the earth the user and his opponents are standing on, Nathan is able to both disintegrate and super heat the earth in order to convert normal soil into the same volcanic ash he can manipulate. This massive technique extends the length of the entire battlefield in most cases, literally turning a small area into a field of black sand like ash. The sheer multiplicity of the grains of tephra combined with the users ability to manipulate this ash makes it easy to trap the opponent in such a way to give Nathan a distinct advantage on a battlefield such as this. Furthermore, having been charged with Maton chakra, this field of black sand is even more responsive to Nathan's manipulation, as well as a perfect conductor for true magma techniques, making it easier for him to form magma upon the earth, for the earth him and his opponent would then be standing upon is essentially a flattened volcano.

Name: Furo-Shainingu Kazan no Jutsu [Pyroclastic Flow Technique]*
Rank: S
Range: Long Range (0-500m)
Jutsu Type: Ninjutsu
Elemental Affinity: Maton | Kazanbai [ Magma | Volcanic Ash ]
Clan:
Description: This is a devastating wide area technique that requires a massive build up of chakra to perform and holds with it the strength of a devastating natural disaster. After performing several hand-signs, magma will begin to form at Nathan's feet that will quickly rise up and consume the boy but he would not be harm by it as it is forming around him a sphere of fast flowing fluid molten rock. This sphere will rise into the area as it rapidly continues to spin, releasing a massive amount of heat. However, it is not this sphere that makes for a deadly attack, but what emerges from it as it continues to flow. As the magma churns this sphere will release into the air the same cloud of hot volcanic ash that builds up above volcanoes as they erupt. This cloud, known as pyroclastic flow, is composed of hot gas and ash like rocks, known collectively as tephra. While it is collecting, this black cloud of volcanic ash can reaches temperatures above 1,000°C, and will blot out the sun. However, as this ash collects, in a cloud so large that even Fuuton techniques would have trouble disrupting, it builds in mass until the burning tephra travels downward, burning away and destroying anything caught within its path, which will be in all directions. This cloud of extremely hot volcanic ash moves at speeds of 80km/h and carries with it the same 1,000°C temperature it builds up while collecting. This flow hugs the ground as it spreads out over a radius of up to 500 meters. This ash is so hot and littered with so much solid rock pieces equally as hot that it can ignite trees as it passes by them, leaving behind a blackened landscape absent of life. Almost all living things caught in the path of this destructive cloud of rapid moving ash will die, and on no level, ground or air, is a creature safe. If the victims do not die, their flesh will be so badly burned away that continued fighting would be impossible.

[This technique takes two full posts to build up and take effect, during which time the sphere I am in can be attacked. If this sphere is somehow stopped after the first post then no damage will have been caused to the area. Then the cloud of hot ash will blotting out the sun and causing an increase in temperature across the field of battle as well as a decrease in clean air, which can be daunting for most to fight in, then this cloud will descend with a radius of 100m. Additional build up time is required for a wider damage area. While I am in this sphere I will obviously not be able to attack or defend for myself unless if I have some kind of clone out of the field.]

But due to the fact that these dark chakra diamonds are small a mass amount can be produced, possibly enough to blot out the sun and make it seem like the opponent is surrounded in complete darkness itself. Now, using his wind affinity he is able to launch these diamonds at the enemy at an insanely quick speed, nearly untraceable speed. If these hit the opponent's body they can easily cut through all of the enemy's flesh, tissue, muscle, and bone. leaving a 2-inch hole in the spot of which the diamond hit. Now adding the water affinity to this Jutsu each diamond is able to sap some of the opponent's blood or any type of liquid as it passes through the opponent.

The dome may be collapsed onto an opponent to crush them. as well as explode into a gigantic explosion of immense dark chakra. Dependent upon how much dark chakra was put in there in the first place.

Then when enough has been charged the gas is all released within a 40m radius at once. If the opponent is to breathe in any of this dark chakra gas, it will go to their lungs and stay there. Now this gas will be inside of the opponent and Nathan can now manipulate the opponent to produce dark chakra. But only the amount of gas they have consumed. But Nathan is the one who controls that dark chakra they can now seep out of their chakra pores. not the opponent. Note, depends on how much gas is inhaled. Having them produce chakra can give him almost an unimaginable amount of the substance to work with. However, after the target has created dark chakra they will inevitably die.

Therefore once the clone is struck with a hard enough force or Nathan commands it to. it will sort of explode into dark chakra that will stick onto the opponent's body and drain the chakra at a fast rate. besides that some of the dark chakra will enter the opponent's body through their chakra pores. From that point the poisonous chakra will take effect and begin weakening the enemy from the vision to the motor functions. Then, the draining will begin anew.

Nathan can easily break through flesh and bone from the intensity of the squeeze now, to the point where the bones that he crushed become nothing but small shattered fragments. This technique is straining however, and is only used when it does not have to create more dark chakra, merely used left over amounts from other techniques.

The dark chakra condensed on his hand will not go away unless it comes into contact with another object, or Nathan forces it away. This dark chakra can easily rip through the opponent's flesh, bones, tissue, and muscles easily as though it was scissors and the opponent was paper. Also, if this attack gets close enough to the opponent then it may dissolve some or the skin of the opponent that went too close to it.

Name: Dark Chakra Coffin

Range: (0~10m)
Jutsu Type: Ninjutsu
Elemental Affinity: Darkness
Clan: None
Description: This Jutsu after hand signs begins to mold a sphere of death around the enemy. It is nearly indescribable once in place, even though it is rather slow. Once he in places it will constrict and crush the enemy into nothingness. And, even if it were to miss for the most part and only graze the enemy, they would then be poisoned by the evil chakra.

Name: Dark Chakra Molding
Rank: B rank
Range: Medium (5-10meters)
Jutsu Type: Ninjutsu
Elemental Affinity: Darkness
Clan: None
Description: This is one of the staple techniques of Nathan's style of combat. He will create a transient weapon out of Dark Chakra. This weapon can take many forms from Giant Shuriken to a Sword. However, being that it is transient, if the weapon leaves the range of the technique it will dissipate into nothingness. A plus of the technique is the Dark Chakra itself, which poisons the target through its dastardly design. So, while this technique is highly effective it is a constant strain once it has been used. And besides, the toxin itself can kill you if you use it too much.

Name: Depth of a Black Hole
Rank: C
Range: (0~20m)
Jutsu Type: Genjutsu
Elemental Affinity: Darkness
Clan: None
Description: On eye contact Nathan can activate this semi-advanced Genjutsu.

Name: Poison Illusion
Rank: C
Range: (0~20m)
Jutsu Type: Genjutsu
Elemental Affinity: Darkness
Clan: None
Description: This is a Genjutsu, which requires no hand seals. Instead all it requires is for Nathan to look at an opponent directly in the eye. Note, if he cannot look them directly in the eye then it will not work. This Genjutsu enables Nathan to make the opponent think that there is a poison inside of them. This Genjutsu will trick their brain into thinking there really is a poison inside them and will cause the normal effects of a good poison. Their 5 senses(Touch, hear, smell, see, taste) will all start to go down and slow down. And parts of their body will slowly begin to feel numb. The longer this Genjutsu is in effect the worse the symptoms will get. It is also rather hard to detect this is a Genjutsu, because it only makes their body think there is a poison in it. not any normal illusion that would lead the opponent into thinking its a Genjutsu. However once realized this technique is simple to dispel, but it will have most likely bought enough time to escape.

Name: Dark Chakra Flicker
Rank: C
Range: ~
Jutsu Type: Ninjutsu
Element Affinity: Darkness
Clan:
Description: A similar jutsu to that off the body flicker. The process is similar to the body flicker as well, yet this is a slightly more advanced version of it. Instead of just applying normal chakra to the joints and muscles for a short burst of energy; Nathan will apply dark chakra to those supposed joints and muscles. With a while of experience of with dark chakra itself; Nathan has been able to concentrate a large mass of dark chakra into a small proportion. Dark chakra also being slightly stronger than regular chakra will also add to the extra energy/burst of this move. The dark chakra amounts Nathan can squeeze into his leg muscles joints allows him to go nearly as quick as he wishes.

The normal body flicker is limited on its speed because, if the use goes too fast then he may be injured from the rushing winds..but if this were in Nathan’s case he could easily use the dark chakra phasing to allow the wind to merley pass through him as if it were nothing; therby allowing him to go as quick as he wishes/is capable of with no injuries. This technique is basically a combination of dark chakra, dark chakra phasing, and the body flicker.

Name: Dokueki Kushi [Venom Spit]
Rank: D
Range: Close Range (0-5m)
Jutsu Type: Ninjutsu
Elemental Affinity: -
Clan: -
Description: This technique can only be performed by Nathan because he naturally produces a venom from the snake-like modifications he has experiences since being exposed to the chakra. By collecting a small amount of chakra within his mouth and mixing it with the modified saliva that makes up his venom, which normally has a paralyzing effect, Nathan can spit from his mouth a concentrated dose of his venom at his opponent. The venom is enhanced by the chakra added to it to the point where it does not have to be injected into the opponent to have an effect. If direct contact is made with the opponents skin the area hit will feel severely numb, which would be most effective when striking a bending joint, potentially preventing the opponent from using the limb until the effects wear off, which is usually around 5 minutes if only contact with the skin is made. However, in a far more effective situation, if the venom makes a direct hit with the eyes, even if they are closed in the cases where the venom is not instantly washed off, the effect on the target will be temporary blindness, lasting around an hour before sight is regained.

Name: Hebiteisei [Serpent Whisper]

Jutsu Type: Ninjutsu
Elemental Affinity: -
Clan: -
Description: This technique requires the user to collect chakra into either their ears or their throat, depending on which direction the commands or information is coming form. This technique is used in connection with serpents, allowing the user to either give out commands to obedient serpents through a chakra filled whisper of a hiss, or hear what the serpent has to say through listing to a whispered hiss form the serpent with chakra fill ears. Not all serpents can be used with this technique, and this is usually used to listen to the Hidden Shadow Snake Hand Messenger that is released for spying operations. Normal, untamed snakes usually do not have enough of an education to pass on useful information, but snakes from the summoning contract do, and this technique can even be used to understand speaking snakes, so that the information is passed on selectively.

Name: Sen’eijashu Denrei [Hidden Shadow Snake Hand Messanger]
Rank: D
Range: Supplementary
Jutsu Type: Ninjutsu
Elemental Affinity: -
Clan: -
Description: This is a technique derived from the ability to create Hidden Shadow Snakes from within the user’s sleeve. The user of this technique will slam their fist upon the ground and release from their clothing a single black-scaled serpent. However, unlike similar moves this snake will fully separate from the user, becoming like a normal serpent on the ground. This snake is charged with the duty of delivering messages that the user will write upon a small patch of parchment. The message itself is kept safe within the esophagus of the snake, and the snake tracks the desired delivery location through its normal inferred sight along with any instructions given to it by the user. In the cases were this snake is sent to deliver the message to a specific person in an unknown location, it must first be presented with something that carries a traceable track of the desired target. After the message is delivered this snake will disappear in a puff of smoke. While this technique is usually used to deliver a message the user otherwise could not, the “messenger” in this case can also work as a spy, having the serpent witness things that the user is not looking at and then having it return to deliver the information it witnessed.

Jutsu Type: Ninjutsu

Description: This technique projects a black-scaled snake from the user’s wrist at the opponent. This snake appears out of the clothing of the user and shoots towards the target in a punching motion. This snake is very versatile as it can be used to grapple, throw, or even bind the opponent, and in the case of when these snakes bite down upon the opponent they transmit the same paralyzing venom that Nathan himself has developed. Nathan’s discovery of this technique as an unconscious response to the nightmares Nathan suffered after developing his initial fear of the chakra. Sense then Nathan has been ably to decipher the use of this technique. This technique does not require the motion of a snap or punch, but in the cases where this technique is simply used to manifest snakes from the user’s sleeve, the serpents have no initial forward motion behind them. This snake can vary in size, but they usually almost always are larger then the multiple snakes created from the Sen’eitajashu. As this technique only creates a single snake, it can also be used with the mouth, releasing a snake form the open mouth in order to attack with even more deception.

Name: Jagei Jubaku [Snake Authority Spell]
Rank: C
Range: Close Range (0-5m)
Jutsu Type: Ninjutsu
Elemental Affinity: -
Clan: -
Description: This techniques is an extension of the Sen’eijashu [Hidden Shadow Snake Hand] that uses larger snakes that can more easily grasp onto the nearby opponents. This techniques is not usually performed through a punching motion because of the increased size the snakes used in this technique make it difficult to shoot them out farther from the hand. This technique creates black-scaled anaconda sized snakes that exposed themselves out of the user’s loose clothing, quickly coiling around the opponent to restrain their motion almost entirely. Not only to these snakes physically bind the entire body of the targets, but they also instill a degree of fear within the opponents due to the murderous intent of these snakes. Though this technique has a downside that only a limited number of snakes can be used at a time, namely one snake per sleeve, these snakes possess the same paralyzing venom that Nathan himself has developed.

Name: Sheyou no Jutsu [Snake Oil Technique]
Rank: C
Range: Close Range (0-5m)
Jutsu Type: Ninjutsu
Elemental Affinity: -
Clan: -
Description: After performing several hand-signs the user will perform this special summoning technique in which they spew from their mouth a massive jet stream of snake oil. This oil comes from the fat of Chinese water snakes, and is composed of eicosapentaenic acid, myristic achid, stearic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid. Along with this the oil is mixed with a carrier material, including camphor, to give it a liquid flow to it. While this oil, made from snakes, is composed of may acids, it is not corrosive, and does not use the acid element, as it is actually being summoned from where the snakes reside. The acids actually have a numbing effect, as snake oil was once used in a miracle cure to relieve joint pain. However, in a more effective sense, this oil is very flammable, and so it ignites when exposed to a flame.

Name: Hebi no Kibo [Scales of the Snake]
Rank: C
Range: Supplementary
Jutsu Type: Ninjutsu
Elemental Affinity: -
Clan: -
Description: This is a partial summoning techniques that does not summon a living snake, but instead summons the tough hide of discarded snake skin from the molted skin of snakes. After performing a snake hand-sign and collecting chakra into the part of the body that the user wishes to coat in snake scales, the skin will appear overtop the user's skin, stuck onto the area by the same liquid that snakes usually use for helping them slide out of the skin, though since the user is human their skin does not react the same ways as the scales of a living snakes. The scales appear as blackish blue, and appear directly on the skin, so it the region is already covered in clothing the scales will appear underneath the clothing. These scales can protect against physical attacks and bladed weapons, giving the user extra endurance, though this endurance is less when the scales are attacked by elemental attacks. At a Jounin level these scales can vertically cover the entire body of the user, being summoned form the molted skins of larger snakes, thusly giving more protection.

Name: Ryohebi no Kaizo [Serpent Crawling Modification]
Rank: C
Range: Supplementary
Jutsu Type: Ninjutsu
Elemental Affinity: -
Clan: -
Description: This technique, after performing a few hand-signs and intentionally dislocating a few bones along their spinal cord, allows the user to elongate their midriff, making their movements and body appear in something of a snake manner. The user is now able to glide along the ground in the locomotion of a snake, moving quicker and stealthier then their normal movement. Furthermore, using this technique the user is actually able to coil around their opponent, constricting their captured prey with their malleable body in the same manner of a snake. This technique is useful in infiltration and spying activities because of the unique style of movement it grants the user. The user can also move faster in this form, not making it a good means of attacking the enemy quickly. This technique does not necessarily require the hand-signs if the user can mold their chakra and physiology well enough.

Name: Hebi Bunshin no Jutsu [Snake Clone Technique]
Rank: B
Range: Supplementary
Jutsu Type: Ninjutsu
Elemental Affinity: -
Clan: -
Description: This technique is an advanced level Hebijutsu that is performed with a single hand-sign, in this case the serpent seal, and then a similar style of bringing snakes forth as in the Sen’eitajutsu [Many Hidden Shadow Snake Hand Technique]. After forming the serpent hand-sign and the user will position their limb that the snakes will emerge from where he would like it, allocating chakra in order to create many more snakes then usual with the thrusting technique. The multiple black scaled snakes that shoot from with the user’s clothing collect upon themselves as they begin to take a rather humanoid form, eventually turning into an exact, physical copy of the user. This clone is physical, and can deal damage as well as use any of the Hebiton jutsu of a B rank or lower. If struck with enough force, the clone will begin to break apart into the snakes it is made up of. However, if left alone these snakes can reform into the perfect physical copy of the user, or they can simply burst out of the clone form and attack as a large swarm of snakes until they are either destroyed, or withdrawn by the original user back into their clothing, in which they will disappear as mysteriously as they appeared.

Name: Soshi’eijashu [Element Shadow Snake Hand]
Rank: B
Range: Close-Mid Range (0-10m)
Jutsu Type: Ninjutsu
Elemental Affinity: -
Clan: -
Description: This is an advanced, more comprehensive version of the Hidden Shadow Snake Hand, taking advantage of the fact that it produces a serpent with a mouth as a means of bettering the attack of the user. Like the other technique, this move unleashes a single snake from within the user’s sleeve, this viper striking out towards the opponent, but not in the same manner as before. By channeling the chakra through the demon, the user is now able to use the snakes’ mouth in the stead of their own, or even use it along side their own mouth to increase the number of simultaneous attacks. This hidden shadow snake can be used with any C ranked technique the user knows that requires either touch or a mouth through which to spit the attack. The user will still form the necessary hand-signs needed for the technique, and then unleash it from the snake, instead of their own body. The user can also double the chakra cost of the technique as a means of using it with two snakes, one form each hand, or from using with a snake and then their own mouth. Finally, the user can triple the cost of the technique as a means of using it with two snakes, and like normal, potentially creating three simultaneous same techniques approaching from different direction and different angles. As an example of how this technique could work, a Katon user could have the snake perform the Great Fireball Technique, though the cost of the chakra for the Katon technique still comes from the summoner.

Name: Mandara no Jin [Myriad Snake Net Formation]
Rank: A
Range: Close-Far Range (0-10+m)
Jutsu Type: Ninjutsu
Elemental Affinity: -
Clan: -
Description: This technique is an advanced level Hebijutsu that involves a unique style of summoning snakes. After performing several hand-signs, the user will release form their mouth a torrent of snakes, ranging in the thousands. All these snakes appear as the same variety, for Nathan these snakes all appear as black-scaled cobras. However, at a certain point soon after beginning this technique, the sheer number of snakes this technique unleashes becomes too massive that it is hard to distinguish where one snake ends and the other begins. The aim of this technique is not to precisely injure the opponent, but instead to swarm the enemies with a virtual tidal wave of serpents, all biting down and lashing out at the targets caught within the ocean of snakes. Being cobras, these snakes possess the same kind of neurotoxin that Nathan himself produces naturally, and thusly not only can this hive-mind attack paralyze the opponent’s, but they can also kill anyone caught within them through an overdose of venom. To defeat this swarm, in which the summoner can even hide to conceal his location within the snakes, allowing him to advance on the enemies unnoticed from behind a veil of serpents, the opponent must unleash wave upon wave of attack, for these snakes with continue their advance right down to the last one of them.

Description:
This is a technique developed based of the "Hidden Shadow Snake Hand"and the physiology of the Orochi, which is of coarse a eight-headed snake. This technique transforms the blade of one, or both of Nathan's swords into eight, black-scaled snakeheads that lurch out at the opponent with the slashes of the 'sword'. These snakes are very versatile as it can be used to grapple, throw, or even bind the opponent, though at a base level they work like a whip motion of the sword's blade. The user must maintain contact with the hilt of the
sword used to perform this technique with. Furthermore, the size of the sword itself can affect the side of the snakes that form out of the blade of the weapon, a large sword obviously meaning larger formations of snakes.


Name: Hebimane Houtai no Jutsu [Serpent Chain Possession Technique]
Rank: D-C

Jutsu Type: Taijutsu
Elemental Affinity: -
Clan: -
Description:
This is a technique is used in combination with some long thin object, usually a chain. By channeling their chakra into the chain the user is able to manipulate the path and constriction of the chain by maintaining physical contact with it. This technique uses careful chakra control to manipulate the chain, making it appear similar to a snake at some times, thus giving the technique its name. This is not meant to be an overpowering technique, but rather a technique used for setting up other more powerful moves by attempting to restrict the
mobility of the enemy through binding their opponent. This technique can be used to tighten the grip of a chain on something, and in some cases constrict anything wrapped up in the chain in the manner of a boa constrictor.

Name: Kusari Genkaku [Chain Illusionist]
Rank: C
Range: Close-Mid (0-10m)
Jutsu Type: Genjutsu
Elemental Affinity: None
Clan: None
Description:
This is a Genjutsu based around the trickery of the opponent's sight. Using any long chain weapon, in Nathan's case the Serpent Fang Chains, the user will spin the chain in a loosely formed dome formation around them, similar to how a gymnast would perform streamer floor exercises. In doing this the opponent's line of sight becomes distracted and they are placed in a somewhat transit state in which the chain's path of motion will seemingly slow down to them making it appear that the dancing chain formation is moving in slow motion. In reality, however, the chain is moving at full speed and once the opponent is distracted by this technique the user will launch the chain either by simple motion or by manipulating it with chakra to either stab at or wrap up the opponent, making this technique a set up for later attacks. There are many things that can snap the opponent out of this simple Genjutsu, such as the Release Technique, however even if the techniques fail the user can follow through with their chain weapon attack.


Name: Shikumi no Jutsu [Death Viewing Technique]
Rank: B
Range: Close Range (0-5m)
Jutsu Type: Genjutsu
Elemental Affinity: None
Clan: None
Description:
This is an advanced Genjutsu technique that is used to completely stun an opponent with fear. To perform this technique the user must make eye contact with their opponent, thereby putting the target into the effects of this Genjutsu. Immediately after being struck by this technique the opponent will fall victim to an intense version of his or her own brutal death at the hands of the user. The result of this vision will leave the opponents body in a state of crippling shock, making them unable to move. About the only way to have this technique canceled is for the opponent to receive enough physical pain to snap them out of the paralysis. However, even if the paralysis has ended the fear will not disappear as quickly.
