Prelims - Match 2.

Name: Water Release: Water Clone Technique
Classification: Ninjutsu
Rank: C-rank
Class: Offensive
Range: Mid

Description: The Water Clone Technique is similar to the Shadow Clone Technique except it creates clones out of water that have one-tenth of the original person's power. Like other solid clone techniques, the clones can be used to perform tasks the user is unable or unwilling to do for themselves. The range of the clone is limited however, as it can not travel very far from the original body without losing control. Like other clone techniques, if the water clones are injured enough they will revert back to normal water.

Name: Water Release: Wild Bubble Wave
Classification: Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Class: Defensive
Range: Mid

Description: The user spits out a large volume of bubbles which covers the ground and reduces its friction, considerably limiting the opponents' movements. The bubbles are spit out with violent force that is capable of washing away most attacks, such as oil and fire while moving at bullet release speeds. This technique can also be used as an effective smokescreen. This jutsu is capable of deflecting C rank and below jutsu. However, it is also capable of deflecting B rank and below Fire and Oil jutsu.

Please include Gemaru's Current Intimidation Limit in your post (it's = to his Fatigue Limit)

Shadow Depletes Intimidation Limit by -2 Each P.T, C-rank Barrier Tiers Req to Resist Intimidation Limit Depletion.

Sadist - Jazz's Current Strength thanks to Blood stemming from Limb Dismemberment (See this topic) = A-rank

Kunai propelled by A-rank strength to deal A-rank blunt force trauma upon impact.
Jazz's hands were cut for D-rank damage, causing 2 D's of blood loss (spilling on her hands)

Name: Shadow
Classification: Taijutsu
Rank: D-rank
Class: Passive
Range: Self

Description: The “Shadows” of the Kukinorite’s are a manifestation of their killing intent and/or fighting spirit. Because of this the “Shadows” can only be seen at certain points when the user’s killing intent and/or fighting spirit are at their highest. It has a unique effect where while active it makes use of the victims Intimidation Limit which is equal to their fatigue limit, but when used in conjunction with actual Killing Intent the amount the victim's I.L depletes is doubled. With each post (total) a Kukinorite's Shadow is out it constantly reduces the Intimidation limit, once fully exhausted the victims will be completely intimidated where they will faint for a period of time, however Barrier tiers equal to the user’s rank can make the victims immune to intimidation. These moments are usually at the beginning of a battle, used for intimidation purposes, or when the user uses one of their high ranking or signature techniques, Infinity Atmosphere techniques. Since the “Shadows” represent only a single person’s killing intent and/or fighting spirit every Kukinorites’s shadows take different appearances and as the user improves their “Shadows” will also improve, changing in appearance. Now if two Kukinorite’s were to do a combination jutsus, “Shadows” will also be shown but the appearance will be a fusion of the two “Shadows.”
Rank/Barrier Tier for Immunity - Intimidation Limit Depleted - Faint Duration
D - 1 - 1
C - 2 - 5
B - 3 - 10
A - 4 - 15
S - 5 - 20

Name: Sadist (Signature)
Classification: Taijutsu
Rank: D-rank
Class: Passive
Range: Self

Description: Due to riding both the Bloody and Sonia roads, Jazz's ancestor Nyx Kukinorite had become accustomed to pain of all kinds, both pain she receives and pain she deals upon her opponent. Because of this the more blood she sees the deeper she will go into a frenzy which would cause her strength to drastically increase. The amount of blood determines her current strength with the lowest being D-rank strength by seeing a small trickle of blood from a small cut, C-rank by seeing a bloodied slash wound from a blade from a moderately deep cut, to B-rank from a blood stained opponent from a heavy wound, A-rank from blood spurting out due to a limb dismemberment, capping out at S-rank from a blood soaked area. Her innate sadism in tied deeply with her Nen.

Name: Trick Speed
Classification: Taijutsu
Rank: B
Class: Supplementary
Range: N/A

Description: Kukinorite are special in that they use a pair of special skates to trigger their latent abilities and control the elements through movement. Trick speed is a technique which revolves around the momentum of the skates as one moves across the field. Just like any object, one must build up momentum to go fast. The more momentum you create the faster you go. Trick Shot allows the Kukinorite to move quicker and quicker over time (running speed only). At first the Kukinorite moves just slightly above normal running speed (Swift Release) and the longer they keep up their momentum the more it will increase. Every 10 posts (total) the momentum will increase by 1 rank in speed (running speed only).

If the Kukinorite comes to a halt the momentum will restart at D rank. Using the brakes on the skates the Kukinorite can slow down to a lower speed as long as they don't come to a stop, but will start over with the momentum building (posts will revert to needing 10 for the next rank in speed). These skates are uniquely designed to withstand the pressure from the speeds, resulting in no recoil to the skates or Kukinorite. The skates are also designed so as to not have a sudden increase in speeds through techniques, negating any use of speed boosting to them as a safety precaution. If one does manage a way to boost their speed up through some means the sudden force will shatter the skates, requiring a Rikigaku Mechanic, The Pledge Queen, or Blacksmith to fix them.

However, they do have a small mechanism that will allow them a total of 5 posts to move at blinding light speeds before they break. It is highly recommended not to use it though as breaking your skates will result in losing your access to Kukinorite techniques and you will not be given a new pair. (For movement speeds, running, this technique will work separately of speed tiers while the rest of the body will only work with speed tiers.)

Name: Summoning: Lightning Flash Blade Creation
Classification: Fuinjutsu
Rank: B-rank
Class: Supplementary/Passive
Range: Short

Description: This is a special "ninja tool summon" that allows the user to seal ninja tools like swords or kunai into a scroll or their clothes beforehand, allowing them to be called upon when needed. The ninja tools can be summoned in an instant just by touching the sealing "marks" which can be drawn anywhere. The greatest advantage of this technique is that the time between taking out a ninja tool, taking the right stance and actually throwing it is greatly reduced with the tools being drawn out at speeds equal to the user's skill level. Also when a weapon such as a Fūma Shuriken is summoned, the time needed to throw it can be further shortened by having prepared the weapon in its fully extended form beforehand. The ninja tools are thrown with the actual speed of a "flash of lightning", ruining the opponent's outset of the battle, and snatching away the initiative. Furthermore, because the summoned ninja tools can remain hidden until right before they are used, if this technique is mastered, there are an exceptional number of possible tactics. A large number of ninja tools can be stored within the sealing marks, which can make the efficiency of this technique last longer.

Water clone technique

Name: Thread Release: Earth Grudge Fear
Classification: Medical Kinjutsu/Fuinjutsu
Rank: A-rank (A-rank Blood Price & 1 Week OOC No Training until recovered)
Class: Supplementary/Passive
Range: Self

Description: The Earth Grudge Fear is a secret kinjutsu of a hidden village which transforms the user's body into something similar to that of a rag-doll's, held together by hundreds of thick black threads. While in this form in addition to being able to split their body into threads to attack and defense the user is also able to assimilate objects by sewing them into his body his threads adapting and being able to manifest the object at will. An Example being a knife which was formerly a real weapon however upon being assimilated by Kakuzu it can be reconstructed by his thread from any part of his body while still retaining the original strength of the weapon as well as any abilities it once had (Can not assimilate elemental or living weapons). These threads are an extension of the users body and are made out a material which is like no other natural material in the world as it doesn't posses inter molecular forces nor is made out of any natural mineral thus making it not susceptible to magnetism while being capable of moving at speeds equal to his rank. The most significant aspect of these threads is that they granted Kakuzu a form of immortality, although he declined to think of it that way. In addition to sewing up his injuries, he could use the threads to tear into a victim's body, steal their still functioning organs, and integrate them into his own body, thus extending his life. Kakuzu usually used this method to steal hearts from powerful shinobi (Each heart containins an addition S-rank of Blood & the chakra nature of the heart stolen), and was able to store up to five spare hearts in his body at any given time, meaning that all hearts must stop functioning in order for Kakuzu to die. The number of Extra Hearts Kakuzu can have at once is dependent on his rank.
Rank - Number of Hearts
D - 1
C - 2
B - 3
A - 4
S - 5

Name: Body Replacement Jutsu
Classification: Ninjutsu
Rank: D-rank
Class: Supplementary
Range: N/A

Description:This jutsu lets the user quickly switch places with another nearby object, such as a plant (normally a section of a log), an animal, or even another person within reach using the Body Flicker Technique, the moment an attack hits.

Name: Taki Style: Water-cutting Sword
Classification: Ninjutsu/Kenjutsu
Rank: B
Class: Offensive/Supplementary
Range: Short

Description: A secret technique of Takigakure that allows the user to manipulate water into the form of a sword forming it at crashing ground speeds. This sword is also shown to be very resilient as it is able to withstand and cut through most Fire Release techniques as long as they are B-rank and below while still being able to inflict elemental physical damage upon those sliced by it.

Name: Elemental Soul: Chakra Assimilation
Classification: Soul tech
Rank: D-rank
Class: Supplementary
Range: Self

Description: The Signature technique of a Soulless due to their Soul Orb and forms the basis of all their Soul Tech. The Soulless is struck by a chakra based technique equal rank or below as long as they possess a Clear Soul Orb the damage from said attack is negated as their Soul Orb registers the chakra nature. This converts their Clear Soul Orb into an Elemental Soul Orb dependent on the Chakra Nature Transformation used on them. Upon gaining an elemental Soul Orb however the Soulless becomes immune to being damaged by a chakra nature transformation identical to the element recorded in their Soul Orb as long as an attack is chakra based. Instead dependent on the Soulless' rank the technique will have it's chakra siphoned out of it in order to replenish the Soulless' chakra reserves. This technique is required to utilize Elemental Soul Tech.

Name: Chakra Sense
Classification:Soul tech
Rank:D-rank
Class:Supplementary
Range: Self

Description: Soulless have an acute sensing nature and can immediately discern the chakra nature of others around them. The reason for this is due to their high sensitivity to chakra making them valued trackers as they can sense individual chakra signatures as all Soulless are natural sensor types. The use of this technique grants them the ability to track chakra signatures over short distances within a topic dependent on their rank.
Rank - Tracking Distance (ft)
D - 5
C - 10
B - 15
A - 20
S - 25

Name: Body of Threads II
Classification: Taijutsu
Rank: C-rank
Class: Supplementary
Range: Self

Description: Kakuzu is made of threads as a result his internal physical defenses are increased to C-rank, this is due to his organs being made of tightly wounded threads granting him increased durability.

Name: Digitized Storage
Classification: Barrier Ninjutsu/Fuinjutsu
Rank: D-rank
Class: Passive
Range: Self

Description: By combining her "mother's" Coded Storage and the Rikigaku clan's Digitizethe "Storage" Network. Jazz was able to generate a seperate barrier fuinjutsu sealing matrix in which she is able to store items. Unlike the others however her technique relies on a base seal on her wrists and the back of her neck which resemble a bar code. By channeling chakra while paying a blood price dependent on the size of the item she wishes to withdraw she is able to have them materialize out of thin air with a barrier before it fades or Jazz takes the item(s) out of it. The speed the barriers manifest and number of items she can store this way vary, at Academy they emerge at Swift Release speeds and she can store 5 items, and every rank above that it increases 1-rank in speed and +5 in quantity capping out at Blinding Light and 25 item types at Combat Medical Nin.

Name: Thread Beasts
Classification: Kinjutsu
Rank: B-rank
Class: Supplementary
Range: Varies

Description: By using his Thread Release: Earth Grudge Fear can create thread beasts with different masks to tell them apart. These thread beasts are manifestations of Kakuzu's different stolen hearts and as such can use any jutsu the heart once knew as well as the release itself to create new jutsu. Meaning if a Crystal Release user is killed and has his heart stolen, Kakuzu can make a Thread Beast with Crystal release and all the Crystal Release based techniques of the person who to the heart originally belonged to. These thread beasts, although under Kakuzu's control, also function on their own utilizing the user's tiers as if they were some type of demented clone technique. They have the same amount of chakra as Kakuzu as it is shared between them, and can only use techniques equal and below his rank. Meaning if they have access to an S-rank from the heart that was stolen but Kakuzu is only a Genin they cannot use it. In addition stolen techniques from others take up technique slots from Kakuzu's max technique limit.
