Zaku's Jutsu

Name: Murderous Arts
Classification: Fighting Style
Rank: D
Class: Offensive/Supplementary
Range: Self

Description: With this fighting style, the user tends to attack with quick strikes to different parts of the body. The attacks can be used in conjunction with each other, usually making an opening for the next attack. The fighting style also revolves around aerial combat and smashing the opponent into the ground. Nothing is really special about the fighting style other than how wild the attacks are however their exists a way to unlock higher levels of power from this fighting style by following the Path of the Asura. The Path of the Asura involves a path of bloodshed & murder killing with those with large body counts eventually learning how to project their murderous intentions outward resulting in the formation of a demonic entity which hovers above them. Eventually this entity changes form being a mere optical illusion into an actual presence which can intimidate opponents into submission. This is known as "Demonization Mode" in which for a set price each turn the user can maintain the projection while harnessing this style which improves the Murderous Art's power and ferocity. The kata of this fighting style have no form, it just looks like a rampaging beast fighting.

Name: Murderous Arts: Smashing Headbutt
Classification: Taijutsu
Rank: D
Class: Offensive/Supplementary
Range: Contact, Short (Knock-back)

Description: The user leans back while cocking back their head, which can likewise be used to dodge an incoming attack aimed at the head moving at D-rank speed.

If this technique is used after "Kick Off" (if hitting an opponent from the opposite direction as Kick Off's knockback), the technique deals C-rank physical damage and sends the opponent hurtling towards the ground (5 feet). This also raises the duration of the dizziness to 10 posts (total), and the reaction tiers needed to nullify the effect would be C-rank.
Demonization Mode Effect - When in Demonization Mode a victim of the "Dizzy" Status will be unable to move at or above Max Tier levels (Min. 2 above Standard Tier Level) without falling.

Name: Murderous Arts: Ax Fist
Classification: Taijutsu

If used on the ground if the victim doesn't tense their body at the moment of impacting the ground with D-rank strength the will actually bounce off of the ground's surface into the air to a height of the remaining amount of feet while leaving them vulnerable to a follow up unless they possess an air movement technique. For example if used on a 5 foot tall person to knock them to the ground they would impact it and bounce diagonally 5 feet. When used in the air, instead of coming from the side, the kick comes from above and swings downward into the opponent & the victim instead bounces straight upward.
Demonization Mode Effect - When in Demonization Mode in addition to the damage from the impact the victim likewise has their Intimidation Limit depleted by -1.

Name: Murderous Arts: Ferocious Punch
Classification: Taijutsu

This technique is usually preformed at swift release speeds however higher speed tiers can be used if available and deals D-rank physical damage. Upon being hit if the victim does not possess D-rank endurance tiers their next post they are forced to take an exhale as the impact from the kick forces them to exhale the air in their lungs making them unable to do anything until they have inhaled unless they do not require air to breath.  If this technique is used after "Kick Off", the victim is left to catch their breath for their next two posts during which they are unable to move at their max tier levels due to a shortness of breath while the Endurance Tiers needed to negate this is now C-rank.
Demonization Mode Effect - When in Demonization Mode this technique likewise causes knockback of 5 feet, with the opponent potentially sustaining additional damage upon crashing into an object while hurtling through the air.

Name: Murderous Arts: Mega Shoulder
Classification: Taijutsu
Rank: D
Class: Offensive
Range: Contact, Mid (Distance)

Description: The user rushes at the target at maximum speed to cross a distance of 10 feet.

Not only does it do that but if the opponent lands on their spine, then it causes the opponent to be "stunned" due to the pain for 1 post (total) unless they possess D-rank endurance tiers. If this technique is used after "Kick Off" (if hitting an opponent in the opposite direction as Kick Off's knockback) the technique deals C-rank physical damage and sends the opponent towards the ground (5 feet). This also raises the duration of the stun to 2 posts (total), and the endurance tiers needed to nullify the effect would be C-rank. Now the main use for this technique is to hold the target in place so the user can pummel them. While tackling the target, the user bends his legs so when they land the opponent is being pinned down by the user's knees. Because of the position they are in, the target needs D-rank strength to free themselves or to move their hands to make hand seals to escape or counter.

When combined with higher tiers it can be useful to fake out an opponent or increase the difficulty of dodging by either altering or increasing the speed it is preformed at respectively. Not only does it do that but if the jabs connect with someone in the eye, then it causes the opponent to be blind for 1 post (total) unless they possess C-rank reaction tier. If this technique is used after "Diving Tackle", the technique deals  D-rank physical damage per poke and knocks the opponent's head against the ground. This also raises the duration of the blindness to 4 posts (total), and the reaction tiers needed to nullify the effect would be C-rank.
Demonization Mode Effect - When in Demonization Mode this technique's blindness effect when utilized on a dojutsu wielding opponent is 4 P.T (8 P.T with Diving Tackle) & the pain prevents them from deactivating said dojutsu during the blindness duration.

Name: Murderous Arts: Mini Barrage

Name: Hebi Style
Classification: Fighting Style
Rank: D-Rank
Class: Supplementary/Offensive
Range: Self

Description: Zaku has studied the way the Snakes of his Contract move extensively, before he was taught the ways to move his body as such by the Small Elder of the Contract. The Hebi Style revolves around sudden movement and contorting one's body at impossible angles, much like a snake, to throw victims off and to counteract prediction while using one's entire body as a muscle in one smooth movement. Taijutsu utilizing this style become unreadable up until the moment the victim is struck unless they possess Reaction equal to 1-Rank higher than Zaku's movement speed. Those who possess Time-Slowing Dojutsu are able to perceive Zaku's movements, but require 1-Rank higher speed in order to react to his attacks and advances. Meanwhile those with Muscle Tension are completely unable to predict this style of attack due to the unnaturalness of the movement.

Name: Hebi Style: Move
Classification: Taijutsu
Rank: D-Rank
Class: Supplementary
Range: Self

Description: Using the unique methods of the Hebi Style, the user is able to run and dodge at great speeds while maintaining perfect balance even in unusual positions. Moving at D-Rank Speeds, he is able to contort like a snake, reeling in his body and enabling him to lash out with attacks at a moments notice. Due to this movement style's ability to maintain nigh perfect balance, this technique counts as a D-Rank Balancing technique.

Name: Hebi Style: Coiling Strike
Classification: Taijutsu
Rank: C-rank
Class: Offensive/Supplementary
Range: Short

Description: Drawing on the philosophies of Hebi Style, the user has created a unique method of striking opponents up to 5 feet away while using his entire body as a means of momentum transference and using his raw speed as a method to generate force. This is triggered by him being in a state of rest whether standing up sitting down, laying down before suddenly launching his body forward into a state of action while retaining his balance upon impact with a target by tensing his leg and abdominal muscles. All of his motion is then transferred into damage striking the victim in a single point, dealing damage equal to the speed that he used to launch himself at an opponent. When used in conjunction with a sharp object such as a kunai or a needle it results in it gaining defense piercing equal to the speed he is moving.

Name: Hebi Style: Swaying Dart
Classification: Taijutsu
Rank: C-rank
Class: Supplementary
Range: Self

Description: Drawing on the philosophies of Hebi Style along with Zaku's abdominal muscle control has resulted in his creation of an evasion technique utilizing the Hebi Style which involves the user swaying backwards before dashing away while utilizing the momentum from the sway to move at C-rank speeds. It is a flexible technique and the swaying movement is able to be utilize to great effect in normal movement to throw off those who rely on predicting how a person will move to avoid an attack.

Name: Hebi Style: Slithering Move
Classification: Taijutsu
Rank: B-rank
Class: Supplementary
Range: Self

Description: The advanced kata of Hebi Style: Move, which involves a joint use of chakra control and abominal muscle control to actually slither on ones belly like a snake at high speeds of B-rank. It is very flexible yet unnatural and thus can be intermingled with a dodging motion to quickly shift positions and slither away further stumping those who rely on predicting how a person will move to avoid an attack. The surfaces that one can slither upon affect how difficult it is to perceive the user's movement which varies depending on how skilled they are. This scales with higher speed tiers within the Hebi Style making it difficult for those who are not perceptive to keep track of a moving user of this unpredictable fighting style.
Rank - Surface Able to run on - Reaction Tiers Required to Track Movement
D - Smooth Terrain (Ice, Glass etc) - 1-rank Tier-
C - Normal Terrain (Rock, Grass etc) - Tier++
B - Granular Terrain (Sand, Snow etc) - Tier+
A - Rough Terrain (Mud, Quicksand etc) - Base Tier
S - Unstable Terrain (Earthquake, Landslide etc) - Tier-

Name: Hebi Style: Sidewinding Method
Classification: Taijutsu
Rank: A-rank
Class: Supplementary
Range: Self

Description: A crucial follow up to Slithering Move this movement technique is specialized for loose or slippery surfaces like sand or mud. While moving on their belly the user appears to throw its head forward and the rest of its body follows while the head is thrown forward again, this process is repeated over and over at high speeds of Vacuum Release. In fact when the user actually possesses strength tiers it is only made more effective as while this technique can be used as a stand in for A-rank strength tiers to keep balance or prevent knock-back, when actual strength is used to back it it causes the user to move at speeds equivalent to "Samurai". On course surfaces however this technique is far superior to normal movement when backed by strength allowing the user to outspeed pure speed users when faced against them as long as they are not backed by any other tier.

Name: Hebi Style: Serpentine Movement
Classification: Taijutsu
Rank: S-rank
Class: Supplementary
Range: Self

Description: Only skilled users of the Hebi Style know this technique, just mastery of this technique allows one to transition through any of the Hebi Style Kata at S-rank speeds to off-balance opponents and make one's taijutsu unreadable to those with movement prediction abilities such as muscle tension. This involves complete muscle control resulting in a wavy motion in which the user pushes off any bump or other surface, rocks, trees, etc., to get going. By incorporating all of the other movement styles into one this allows unparalleled movement on both course and smooth terrain befitting of the wielder of the Snake Contract. This technique however is made specifically to hone another aspect which snakes have likewise conquered, aquatic movement. Due to the unique movement similar to a snake users do not suffer penalties to their movement when "swimming" in or underwater allowing them to be just as agile in water as they are on land.

Name: Sanguine Heat Arts: Heat-Ball
Classification: Kinjutsu
Rank: D-Rank
Class: Offensive
Range: Contact (Explosion), Short (Flight), Mid (Stream)

Description: The user molds expends a D-Rank of their Blood before molding it in their lungs. They then expel a large blast of heat outwards, either in the form of a large ball or in a continuous stream. In order to keep the stream of heat active, the user must pay a D-Rank of blood per post. The ball flies forward up to 5ft away before detonating to deal a D-Rank of Heat Release based Spiritual damage to the target in a 1ft radius. The stream is able to extend up to 10ft to deal a D-Rank of Heat Release based Spiritual damage for each post it is held. Zaku's version of this technique allows him to release multiple heat balls at once, dependent upon his rank.

Description: The user molds expends a D-Rank of their Blood before molding it in their lungs. They then expel a large blast of heat outwards, either in the form of a large ball or in a continuous stream. In order to keep the stream of heat active, the user must pay a D-Rank of blood per post. The ball flies forward up to 10ft away before detonating to deal a C-Rank of Heat Release based Spiritual damage to the target in a 2ft radius. The stream is able to extend up to 20ft to deal a C-Rank of Heat Release based Spiritual damage for each post it is held.

Name: Sanguine Heat Arts: Distortion Miasma
Classification: Kinjutsu
Rank: C-Rank (Variable Blood Price)
Class: Supplementary
Range: AoE

Description: The user expends some of their Blood before molding it and expelling it outwards from their body in the form of pure heat in an 80ft radius around them. Those within the area feel the temperature within it rise ever so slightly, but the most noticeable change in the area will be the creation of a potent miasma. This miasma distorts the vision of all of those within it, causing those within it to view optical illusions and such created by the miasma. Above all this miasma serves to conceal the user from many traditional forms of sensory. Due to the miasma being fueled by their blood, the user is unable to be viewed by life force sensory techniques equal to their rank and lower. In order to properly orient their vision, the target must possess Reaction tiers dependent on the strength of the miasma. Those with Time-Slowing Dojutsu or Muscle Tension will find themselves unable to track the user within the miasma unless they possess Reaction tiers. Those attempting to look upon the miasma with Heat Sensory/Vision will find themselves blinded for a set number of posts dependent upon the strength of the miasma. The strength of the miasma is determined by the blood price paid for it's creation.
Blood Price (Strength of Miasma) - Reaction Tiers to See (+TS. D/MT) - Heat Sensory Blind Duration (P.T.)

Name: Sanguine Heat Arts: Heated Blade
Classification: Kinjutsu/Kenjutsu
Rank: C-Rank (D-Rank Blood Price)
Class: Offensive/Supplementary
Range: Self (Sword)

Description: The user expends a D-Rank of their blood before channeling it into their sword, marking this as a technique built on the principles of chakra flow. The sword is then coated in a mirage, making the blade shimmer and waver, making it difficult to see. This causes attacks to require a reaction tier one rank below the speed the weapon is moving in order to notice the strike and dodge correctly and causes the attack to deal an additional C-Rank of Heat Release Spiritual damage whenever it strikes a foe. The blood cost for this technique is taken from the user for each post (total) it is active. Lastly, this technique causes wounds to cauterise, preventing bleeding but causing the wounds to deal an additional C-Rank of pain due to the searing feeling.

Name: Sanguine Heat Arts: Heat Clone
Classification: Kinjutsu
Rank: B-Rank (C-Rank Blood Price)
Class: Supplementary/Defensive
Range: Mid

Description: The Heat Clone Technique is similar to the Shadow Clone Technique except it creates unique clones that are able to shift their forms from physical clones which is destroyed by a single blow but resembles her perfectly, to an invisible to normal eye sight clone which can only be detected by chakra vision or heat vision. In this form it is much stronger however it loses the ability to hold physical weapons due to its gaseous state, instead however it is also unaffected by taijutsu. It now requires a B-rank chakra based technique in order to be destroyed which is hard enough due to its relative undetectable nature and when it comes in contact with a B-rank or below weapon, said weapon melts instantly thanks to the heat. It can also deal up to 3rd degree burns to an opponent (B-Rank Heat Release Spiritual Damag), causing them to receive C-Rank pain per post until they are healed by a Medical Kinjutsu B-Rank or higher. Those with Pain Resistance receive half the usual pain while those with Pain Immunity are unaffected. However due to the nature of these clones, only half the usual number can be made.

Name: Sanguine Heat Arts: Super-Hot Blade
Classification: Kinjutsu/Kenjutsu
Rank: B-Rank (C-Rank Blood Price)
Class: Offensive/Supplementary
Range: Self (Sword)

Description: This is a Sanguine Arts Style blood flow technique which the user channels their blood into their weapon, generating a heated miasma around the weapon. This prevents the user's Kenjutsu from being read by B-Rank or below weapon perception techniques such as Iai Prediction, as well as causing a target to require Reaction 1-Rank below the speed the weapon is swung in order to read the blade's movements. Attacks with this weapon also deal additional C-Rank Heat Release Spiritual damage to their target, alongside cauterizing wounds to negate bleeding but deal D-Rank pain to them in its place. This technique is aimed at allowing said weapons imbued with heat to maintain the miasma for a set amount of time before requiring a fresh blood price even when not in contact with the user, rather than constantly draining from the user's blood reserves, which is based on their skill level.

Name: Sanguine Heat Arts: Sweltering Aura
Classification: Kinjutsu
Rank: B-Rank
Class: Supplementary
Range: AoE

Description: The user expends a C-Rank of their Blood before molding it. They then expel it outwards in the form of an intense aura of heat in a 30ft radius around them. This aura doesn't serve to damage the user's target, nor does it distort the target's vision in any significant way. Instead, this heat serves to increase the rate at which all those within the range of the aura sweats. The increased sweating causes them to lose fatigue rapidly. This loss can be mitigated should the target possess Endurance tiers. The amount of time the user is able to maintain this aura before a maintenance price must be paid is dependent upon their skill.

Name: Sanguine Heat Arts: Thermo Blade
Classification: Kinjutsu/Kenjutsu
Rank: A-Rank
Class: Supplementary/Offensive
Range: Self (Sword)

Description: This is a Sanguine Arts Style blood flow technique which focuses on Heat Release's conductivity through materials rather than extra damage unlike most other Heat Release Sanguine Arts Style blood flow techniques. The result is that upon impacting something it causes a repeater effect in which the physical damage sustained is converted into Heat Release physical damage while conducting through whatever made contact with it as long as said object does not possess an A-rank or above resistance to heat or isn't made of heat resistant materials. This technique can likewise be considered to be counter-weaponry as the heat coursing through said weapons is chaotic causing those which aren't made with A-rank or above heat conductive materials to be destroyed in the process of conducting said heat through them.

Class: Supplementary/Defensive
Range: Self

Description: The user wraps their body in a layer of heat using Sanguine Arts Style blood flow that, instead of being used offensively, is used to filter oxygen into the user's muscles granting them increased mobility when used with natural tiers to make them outpace even samurai (A-rank++, A-rank+ without A-rank Speed). The technique also channels heat around the body reducing drag to not only grant air movement by means of flight but also allowing for tremendous raw speed when used with natural tiers to make them on par with samurai (A-rank+, A-rank without A-rank Speed). This mode, combined with taijutsu, allows the users to utilize Kintaijutsu (Heat Release Spiritual). The user is constantly shrouded in heat which gives their a body a shimmering appearance, as if their target were viewing them through a haze.

Class: Supplementary/Defensive
Range: Self

Description: The user wraps their body in a layer of heat using Sanguine Arts Style blood flow that, instead of being used offensively, is used to filter oxygen into the user's muscles granting them increased mobility when used with natural tiers to make them outpace even samurai (S-rank++, S-rank+ without S-rank Speed). The technique also channels heat around the body reducing drag to not only grant air movement by means of flight but also allowing for tremendous raw speed when used with natural tiers to make them on par with samurai (S-rank+, S-rank without S-rank Speed). This mode, combined with taijutsu, allows the users to utilize Kintaijutsu (Heat Release Spiritual).

The second is with finger motions, being the middle ground of the three and allowing the sword to move with Tier Speed and Strength. The third is via telepathic commands, being the weakest of the three and allowing the sword to be controlled with Tier- Speed and Strength. The blood price paid to control the blade determines the speed and strength of movement. The price paid also determines the "grip" the sword is counted as when using Kenjutsu, modifying the properties of those techniques to fit the "grip". Despite the blood price, the sword of Kusanagi is able to move a maximum of 80ft away from the user before control of the blade is lost.
