Chunin Exam Finals: Round 2 - Fight 4

A large soupy swamp dotted with tall, gnarled trees and massive lily pads spreads out before the combatants. Each tree is thirty feet apart however there is a lily pad at the midway point between each tree. Standing on a lily pad without moving off it next round, causes it to sink and forces the people on it into the water. The water itself grows thicker and sludgier as one gets closer to the center of the battlefield. For the first 50 feet, it reduces speed by one rank unless one has C-Rank strength. For the next 50 feet it reduces speed by two ranks(One rank with C-Rank Strength, normal speed with B-Rank). For the last 50 feet it reduces speed by three ranks (Two ranks with C-Rank strength, One Rank with B-Rank, normal speed with A-Rank.)

Dance of the Seedling Fern has a radius of 160 ft and can reach 100 ft into the air. Don't know how deep the swamp os but hopefully it's not more than 100 ft lol...

Either way everyone but Praise and Indra if he gets on her back have bones erupting from the swamp at vacuum release speeds to deal with.

Name: Dance of the Kaguya
Classification: Fighting Style
Rank: D
Class: Offensive/Defensive/Supplementary
Range: Short-Mid

Description: The Dance of the Kaguya is a fighting style revolving around the manipulation of the bones within one's body which was popularized by the Dakar initially however the Kurogane clan is what truly gave this fighting style recognition. Despite that they did not ever lay claim to them merely utilizing their own unique bone structure to take it to new levels. Mujin learned this fighting style from his own sensei fully intent on passing it down to his own students. The Dance of the Kaguya is known for fluid movements in arcs or spins like a nimble dancer allowing for a high degree of balance and flexibility. This prevents the user from being knocked off balance by D-rank and below techniques while giving this sense of balance to all of the techniques in it's line each being able to serve in place of a same rank balancing technique to offset knockback. When utilized by a Dakar due to possessing the Life Release Genetic structure all of the Dances are labeled Taijutsu however deal no damage to the user's skin to preform. When utilized by a Kurogane they are also labeled as Taijutsu however deal damage to the user's skin (1-rank below rank of technique) in addition to being painful to use (equal rank pain to rank of technique) to produce which is offset by Dead Bone Pulse as well as being useful for dispelling genjutsu on the user. Regardless of the type utilized all of the techniques stemming from Dance of the Kaguya deal Life Release Physical Damage.

Name: Dance of the Seedling Fern
Classification: Ninjutsu
Rank: A-rank (Variable Fatigue Price per jump)
Class: Supplementary/Offensive
Range: AOE

Description: Upon the user making contact with the ground using their hands or feet as an initiator countless bones rise from underground moving at vacuum release speeds, which can be as many as "thousands", up to the "tens of thousands" covering a vast distance with a 160ft radius around the user of this technique while reaching up to 100ft into the air. The blades of bone indiscriminately slaughter whoever stands on the ground's surface as they are sharp enough to pierce through up to A-rank defenses. Furthermore, if this fails to bring down the foe, the user can become one with the bones, which in turn can allow them to attack an enemy unnoticed unless they possess A-rank vibration sensory to detect the subtle shaking a bone makes prior to the user emerging from it. This technique changes the terrain and is the only one of the five initial dances which is a ninjutsu rather than a taijutsu. Depending on the user's skill level and endurance tiers the distance between each bone pillar the user can jump to, and the fatigue price per jump varies. This allows the user to move from bone to bone at increased distances albeit fatiguing the user quickly if they do so recklessly. While moving through bones it uses the user's speed tiers as it's basis.
Rank of User - Max Distance Covered with 1 Jump - Stamina Price Per Jump (Endurance Tier Modifier)
D - 5ft - 10 (D = 5 Stamina Price Per Jump)
C - 10ft - 8 (C = 4)
B - 20ft - 6 (B = 3)
A - 40ft - 4 (A = 2)
S - 80ft - 2 (S = 1)

Name: Junsuina Style Archery
Classification: Fighting Style
Rank: D-Rank
Class: Supplementary
Range: Self

Description: Those within the Junsuina Haiiro style are not simply Samurai, but identify themselves as Archers. To that degree they looked towards their counterparts in other samurai styles and decided that rather than try and compete with the use of the blade, they would perfect another weapon namely the Bow. They found that by mastering the art of chakra flow they were able to utilize their energy reserves as a quiver, launching out arrows comprised of the very thing that flowed in their pathways/limit. Archery itself may not deal as much damage (Hybrid) as other physical types of combat however the Junsuina style excels in a numbers game with the archers of this style refining their chakra control to it's utmost level in an attempt to reduce the strain of using their archery techniques. This technique is required to learn any of the Junsuina Style techniques, not to mention depending on the skill of the user the amount of arrows capable of being formed from the archer's chakra differs.
Type of Archer - Price to Number of Arrows Ratio
Samurai - 1:2 (Chakra/Nen), 1:3 (NE/Blood)

Name: Junsuina Style: Bowmanship
Classification: Kyujutsu
Rank: D-Rank
Class: Supplementary
Range: Self (Bow)

Description: To a Junsuina Style archer knowing out to use one's energy sources is merely one step, the other is the type of bow that they use, contrary to popular belief the Junsuina style doesn't only use one type of bow, but instead they use several with the lone exception being the Crossbow. Other than that bow, depending on the type of Bow an archer uses they will be subject to different distance modifiers for their Kyujutsu techniques in comparison to normal. This particular technique was created with the sole purpose of being able to compete with those Cypher Archers and their unique style of Archery which favored sniping over barrages.
Type of Bow - Base Distance Scale Modifier (Junsuina Rank Bonus)
Short-Bow - .5x (D = +.5x)
Long Bow - 1x (C = +1x)
Composite -Bow - 2x (B = +1.5x)

Name: Junsuina Style: Arrows
Classification: Kyujutsu
Rank: D-Rank
Class: Supplementary
Range: Self (Junsuina Techniques)

Description: Those within the Junsuina style have specialized for the use of not only a weaker damage type in comparison to a traditional archer but generally the use of energy reserves as their ammo. This has it's drawbacks however they have learned to use it's strengths to offset that weakness. As a result a Junsuina Style archer is capable of letting out large amounts of arrows in order to counter-balance techniques which use a stronger damage type than their own. This is useful when clashing techniques as at the cost of some of their arrows being destroyed they are able to match techniques which would normally destroy their arrows without pause.
Amount of Arrows - Damage Type Equated
Normal - Hybrid
Double - Physical, Chakra or Mental
Triple - Spiritual or Natural

Name: Junsuina Style: Soul-Bow Creation
Classification: Kyujutsu/Fuinjutsu/Kinjutsu
Rank: A
Class: Supplementary
Range: Self (Left or Right Arm), Contact (Bow-Blade)

Description: Req. Junsuina Style: Bow-Blade Conversion. This is the next level in a series of techniques meant to phase out the use of weapons within the Junsuina Style, in particular it is useful for the sole purpose of eliminating the need of possessing a physical bow, by sealing it within the user's non-dominant arm. The result is that they gain a tattoo identical to their blade bow and become able to form a bow comprise of an energy source. This gives them two advantages in comparison to having a physical bow, the first being the ability to harness not only their bow-blades abilities but likewise retain the use of their element without the risk of their weapon being destroyed. The second becomes apparent when the archer samurai becomes a reaper as this technique is required for the Soul Bow line of techniques. Depending on the price paid the size of the Soul Bow formed different, furthermore depending on the size of the bow it gains and additional distance scale multiplier when utilizing Kyujutsu techniques. Upon being created while it does share the same durability as the Bow-Blade it originally was upon being destroyed it can merely be manifested once more for another price.
Energy Source Price - Size of Bow (Distance Scale Modifier) - Rank (Speed of Soul Bow Manifestation)
D - Small (1x) - D (A-)
3 D - Humanoid (2x) - C (A)

Name: Junsuina Style: Fade
Classification: Kyujutsu
Rank: B-Rank (B-rank Energy Source Price Per Arrow)
Class: Offensive
Range: Contact (Arrow), Short (Fade)

Description: This technique is one of the techniques which incorporates Junsuina Style Archery, causing the archer draw back their bow before loosing a humanoid sized arrow which moves at B-rank speeds covering up to 3 ft before the archer causes it to pulse. The result is that the arrow will fade away becoming invisible to the naked eye and requiring a sensory technique B-rank or above depending on the energy source used (Chakra/Mental/Spiritual/Natural) or B-rank non vision specific Reaction Tiers to detect it before it strikes it's target within 15 ft the arrow when it fades away. This technique is useful for stealth based kills as the faded arrows are very difficult to detect in normal situations.
Rank - No. of Arrows Fired with one price

Name: Doku Branch: Chakra Conversion
Classification: Medical Ninjutsu
Rank: D-rank
Class: Passive
Range: Self

Description: Req. To learn Doku Style Taki Clan techniques. Those who are of the Doku Branch of the Taki Clan have found a method of attuning their chakra to form toxic materials after throughly studying the application of said substance in addition to routine exposure to it's effects in order to get a firm grasp of it's reproduction. Ambient chakra is rather flexible and it is only through an innate understanding of poisons in addition to a mastery of controlling one's chakra that one can fully delve into the Medical Ninjutsu aspect of poison making. Each Taki Clan member can become attune to a set amount of poisons in their life-time which they can produce naturally with the aid of the poison (materia) in question. After a while however the amount of said poison needed decreases with their skill level up to the point that eventually the poison can be produced without any need for a sample of the poison in question at all.
Rank - Poisonous Substance (s) - Amount Req for Tech
D - 1. Blackthrush(Paralytic) - 6-ranks Lower
C - 2. Psilocybin(Hallucinogen) - 5-ranks Lower

Name: Doku-Style Archery: Thicket Arrow
Classification: Kyujutsu/Medical Ninjutsu
Rank: B-Rank (B-Rank Chakra+Variable Poison Materia)
Class: Offensive
Range: Mid-Long(Arrow Firing), AoE(Detonation)

Description: Focusing their chakra, the Doku forms it into an arrow imbued with the properties of one of their poisons. They then release and fire the arrow, if it strikes a person then it is immediately absorbed into the blood stream and triggers, otherwise it can be triggered to explode with the effects hidden until activated unless the opponent possesses C-Rank chakra level reading or C-Rank Poison Identification technique. This explodes outwards in a 15 foot radius and the poison gas lingers for a number of PT determined by the user's rank unless cleared by a B-Rank or higher dispersal technique.
Type of Poisonous Substance Being Used: Blackthrush for one arrow, Psilocybin for the other
Poison Effect: Blackthrush(2 Tier Level drop to speed and strength, every 10 PT lose another 2 Tier Levels unless flushed out of system. Once both strength and speed are below D-Rank, causes paralysis.)

Psilocybin(Hallucinations set in almost instantly but do nothing. After 5 PT reduce the range of all techs by 5 feet due to being unable to judge distance. After 10 PT Barrier Tiers are reduced by one rank. After 15 PT reduce range of all techs by 20 feet. After 20 PT barrier tiers are reduced by two ranks. After 30 PT, toxin flushes from system.)

Name: Adrenal Field: Shallow Breathing
Classification: Medical Ninjutsu
Rank: C-Rank(2 Stamina per use)
Class: Offensive/Supplementary
Range: AoE(Hormonal Field)

Description: Adrenaline is almost considered a combat hormone, used to heighten the body and keep it safe from danger. However that can easily be used against someone, attacking their body from within. This is what an Inakamono does, tapping into someone's Adrenaline stores and causing them to take rapid, shallow breaths against their will, raising their blood rate. This requires either a D-Rank poison removal technique to stop or C-Rank spirit tiers to prevent the body from acting against itself. Otherwise, the user starts to breathe rapidly even if they'd rather hold their breath, requiring a C-Rank concentration technique or B-Rank barrier tiers to force themselves to hold their breaths and any airborne toxins activate and go through effects twice as fast(So an effect that would trigger in 10 PT would trigger in 5 instead, rounding up). This lasts for an amount of time dependent on the user's rank.

Rank - Duration of Shallow Breathing(PT)
D - 5
C - 10
B - 15
A - 20
S - 25

Name: Inakamono Style Juggling: Popping Shot
Classification: Medical Shurikenjutsu
Rank: D-Rank(Variable stamina)
Class: Offensive/Supplementary
Range: Variable AoE

Description: A simple addition to Inakamono juggling as sometimes it's just not possible to hit your opponent dead on but you really need to land your Hormonal field on them. Thus with the application of more stamina than usual, the hormonal field will instead explode out from the projectile although this needs to be paid per projectile, meaning it is quite taxing to do over and over again. The AoE is determined by how much stamina is paid while the duration the hormonal field lingers for is determined by rank.

Rank - AoE Duration(PT) - Stamina Price - AoE Size(Ft Radius)
D - 2 - 2 - 4
C - 4 - 4 - 8
B - 6 - 6 - 12
A - 8 - 8 - 16
S - 10 - 10 - 20

Name: Junsuina Style: Hunter Reflexes
Classification: Taijutsu
Rank: A-Rank
Class:Supplementary
Range: Self

Description: Archery isn't for everyone, nor is it the easiest style to pull off, the user has to be innately perceptive a cut above the rest and with A-rank+ Reaction they are easily able to track targets moving at Vacuum Release speeds while without succumbing to motion blur. Those of the junsuina style are rarely caught of guard and even when they are they are able to reflexively move at A-rank speeds often drawing their bow and stringing an arrow in the time it takes for their other samurai counterparts to get close enough to engage them in combat if they aren't within Contact distance.
