Sensory Techniques ______________________________
Sensory Techniques driving forces are about being at one with the world around you. To feel the chakra of all living things around and to know each movement. Sensors are a key and important nin especially in the recent times when life is scarce and tensions are high.
• Sensory Techniques are used For detection and often reconnaissance • Techniques in this category can only be learned by the Sensor Class, and effects vary depending on the user's chosen discipline. • It is to be noted that some sensory techniques also share an element. As such they can also be found in that respective elements Jutsu list. To represent this the Sensory list also labels the associated elements under "Chakra Nature", and that element is required in order to use the technique, unless otherwise determined. • All E-rank or Academy Student techniques are ‘cantrips’ and do not take up slots on the profile.
______________________________
Noroshi [Signal Fire] Rank: E Description: After imbuing a small item (such as a pebble) with Chakra, the user will be able to discern its relative distance for up to three [3] posts. The object infused can be seen via other sensory techniques, assuming it is in range of the used technique. After three [3] posts, the original cost may be paid again to keep the technique going for another three [3] posts. Likewise, an amount equal to the original cost may be removed from the chakra pool to keep the signal active permanently, or until deactivated by the user.
Yamabiko [Echo] Rank: E Description: Activation of this Jutsu lets the user locate the relative location of anything in the vicinity by listening to the echoes of a sharp sound, such as blades clashing, a rock skipping, etc. The technique is activated by some form of sound caused by the user. Louder sounds travel farther. It effectively works like echolocation, giving the user a display of the path in which the sound travels for one [1] full post. The visual can be maintained at an upkeep of the original cost per post, as well as a constant sound, such as music. Only the user can see the visual path.
Irezumi no Ryuu [Dragon’s Tattoo] Rank: D Description: By focusing on the image of a tattoo design, the user is able to select one person and sense things through that person’s tattoo for as long as the last hand seal of this technique is held. Sensory method is determined by the location of the tattoo relative to the sensory organs: Tattoos on or around the eye let the user see what the target sees, the nose transfers smells, the mouth taste, the ears sound, and any place away from these organs allows the user to feel what the target feels. Works only with the five primary senses, thus the user cannot see or sense chakra the target does. Must have an image of the target's tattoo, and requires an upkeep of half the original cost to maintain past the first post. Originator: Kokuei Nara [Arros35]
Kenchiki: Shunshin [Sensor: Body Flicker] Rank: D Description: Allows the user to jump to anywhere within one kilometer, so long as he/she can sense the destination. Upon landing at the destination, locational information on everything within a short range is automatically transferred to the user. Retains the three limits per battle that all forms of shunshin have. • Oracle: Range is [3] meters, and the user can determine the number of chakra signatures within that range. • Resolution: Range is [1.5] meters, and user is able to determine number of chakra signatures, chakra level, and its elemental nature. • Zoom: Range is [6] meters, and user can only determine that there is a chakra signature within that range, but not how many. Originator: Kokuei Nara [Arrow35]
Ryouken [Hunting Dog] Rank: D Description: After inscribing a personal rune on something, the user can track the affected object over great distances so long as the rune remains. Each activation gives the user a general direction in which to travel, becoming less useful the farther away the rune is. While the rune is permanent, the technique can be maintained by dedicating ten [10] chakra of their pool to keeping it active, or pay ten [10] per activation of the technique. • Oracle: Being in the same thread will point directly toward the rune, ignoring any obstacles such as walls; being in the same subforum points toward the general location; being in an adjacent subforum (such as in the lands surrounding a Village) gives the user a vague sense of where to go; and beyond that it points the user in which cardinal direction to go. • Resolution: Being in the same thread as the rune points toward a general location; being in the same subforum gives the user a vague sense of where to go; being in an adjacent subforum points the user in which cardinal direction to go; and beyond that, it cannot be seen. • Zoom: Being in the same thread or the same subforum as the rune will point directly toward the rune, ignoring any obstacles such as walls; being in an adjacent subforum points toward a general location; and beyond that, gives the user a vague sense of where to go. Originator: Kokuei Nara [Arrow35]
Mitsugo Heki [Whispering Walls] Rank: C Description: By coming into direct contact with a wall or other major structure in a building, the user is able to get a mental snapshot of the contents of a room the wall is touching. • Oracle: Only shapes are given, not necessarily what individual objects are. Number of chakra signals can also be seen within the room through this technique. • Resolution: Chakra signatures and objects have to be in contact with the wall in order to be seen, but they can be seen in great detail. Chakra level and elemental nature can be seen. • Zoom: The character can see the entirety of the room, but only gains information of the size of the room, and whether or not there are chakra signatures.
Monko no Keibou [Door Guard] Rank: C Description: After performing the needed hand seals, the user touches a nearby object. That object then relays basic information on whoever comes into contact with it to the user. Can be used on stationary effects, such as waterfalls (naturally occurring or otherwise). • Oracle: The user can see the relative size of the Chakra pool of those who come in contact with it. Remains passive for six [6] of the user’s posts, but can be made permanent for a twenty [20] Chakra reduction of the user’s maximum Chakra pool until the technique is deactivated. • Resolution: The user gets detailed information, such as chakra level and elemental natures, and can even hear conversation as long as the person speaking is in contact with the object. However, it only lasts three [3] posts, or costs an extra ten [10] chakra from the maximum pool to maintain. • Zoom: The user can only tell when someone comes in contact with the object, but it lasts twelve [12] posts, or only ten [10] chakra from the maximum pool.
Seidenki Ito no Jutsu [Static Strings Technique] Rank: E Description: This skill allows the user to create strings of electricity that can either act physically as strings, or as a medium that can send small shocks to an opponent. When the strings are placed around an area, they are often fairly difficult to see, and unnoticed by the quick eye. The strings can then be used to detect movement: the static strings form into a string of electricity, but with such a weak current that it is rarely noticed by Shinobi who accidentally walks through the strings. When this happens, the user will immediately feel a small shock where the strings make contact with the body. • Limit: Up to five (5) strings per 5 chakra spent; two (2) uses per activation permitted, allowing up to ten (10) strings per activation. • Fragile: User cannot move without breaking strings. Walking through strings breaks them. Chakra Nature: Raiton
Ichijou no Kumo no Jutsu [Cloud Wisp Technique] Rank: D Description: By forming Raiton Chakra into his or her hands, the user creates a cloud that is infused with Chakra. The formation process takes a post, and after the cloud is complete the user transfers all of his or her consciousness to the cloud to take control of it. While controlling the cloud, the user can see and hear from the perspective of the cloud. Destroying the cloud is very easy: physical attacks, Ninjutsu, almost anything can dispel the technique, returning the user to consciousness, but if one were to use Genjutsu on the cloud it would immediately dispel and the user would be afflicted with the Genjutsu that was used without even knowing it. • Casting Time: Takes one (1) full post to prepare. • Upkeep: 5 chakra per post after first post. Counts as an activation. • Motionless: User has only one (1) activation until state is cancelled and cannot move. Cloud can still move normally, but has no activations. Chakra Nature: Raiton
Jihibiki Kansei no Jutsu [ Earth Tremor Sense Technique ] Rank: C Official Description: By touching the ground, the user can sense tremors or vibrations in the ground. These tremors indicate movement, which the user can sense, although he doesn't know who exactly it is. The range is half a mile. This technique is affected by Sensor Class disciplines, and may vary in range due to this. Chakra Nature: Doton
___K u g u t s u The art of using puppets in battle was developed by the Hidden Sand Village. Over time these skills were passed down through the generations. The earliest known puppet master was Chikamatsu Monzaemon, who developed the art and passed it on to the next generation. The oldest living master was Granny Chiyo, and her grandson Sasori later became what many consider the greatest puppet master of all time. When Sasori fled the village, Kankurou was given his puppets and took up the role as the village's up and coming puppet master.
___S p e c i f i c Kugutsu and such puppet arts are a unique style and method. Without being in the Puppet Class, you cannot learn them.
___R e d u c t i o n s Kugutsu receive the same reduction bonuses as Ninjutsu. Simply put, when you are training inside of an academy, or are of the Ninjutsu Class, the ninjutsu reduction affects Kugutsu. Kugutsu also receives its own reduction from the Puppeteer Class.
___T r a i n i n g ___Rank (E) • 1 Posts ___Rank (D) • 2 Posts ___Rank (C) • 4 Posts ___Rank (B) • 6 Posts ___Rank (A) • 8 Posts ___Rank (S) • 10 Posts
___S y s t e m Puppetry is a very complex and different art than most ninjutsu within the world, because of this, a sect of rules has been created to help everyone understand how puppets will operate in Shinobi Nations.
___U s a g e In addition to a puppeteer, a puppet also needs chakra threads, weapons, and adjustments before it can be properly used in battle. Additionally, once a puppet is active, chakra is required to perform actions. ___○ Chakra expenditure is dependant on the rank of the attack, jutsu, or mechanism used. Puppets are capable of performing unnamed attacks, limited jutsu (known as Kugutsu), and using mechanisms as activated by the user. Each action with a puppet takes an activation unless otherwise noted. ___○ Attacking, defending, dodging, or using mechanisms within a puppet are considered actions. ___○ Movement is not considered an action. ___○ Unless otherwise specified, puppet mechanisms must be manually reloaded. In other words, any weapon launchers need to be reloaded by hand if they are empty
___S t r i n g s Chakra threads, or simply "strings", are needed to control puppets. After learning the appropriate technique (Chakura no Ito), the puppeteer is able to conjure these strings from their fingertips--A cost of five [5] chakra is needed per puppet being connected, but requires no upkeep following. These strings can stretch to most any distance, are durable, and unless masked by some technique, always visible, although stronger and more experienced puppeteers can learn to hide them. They are the most important thing to a puppeteer... r-right after their puppets, of course.
___L i m i t s The number of puppets a single puppeteer can use at any given rank. The below chart displays how many of a certain rank puppet can be controlled, as well as how many fingers it takes to control said puppet. As the puppeteer levels up, he or she is able to use less fingers to maneuver lower ranked puppets, and is thusly able to control more of them. The rank of puppet a puppeteer can use is limited by their experience rank. In other words, a D-rank puppeteer may only use up to a D-rank puppet. Disciplines exist that reduce the number of fingers required per puppet (to a minimum of one [1]), but it is impossible to increase the rank of puppet that can be used.
Any combination of puppets can be used, so long as the total number of fingers in use does not exceed ten [10]. As an example, a B-ranked Puppeteer could use one [1] C-rank, one [1] D-rank, and one [1] E-rank puppet. ___○ D-rank 2 E-rank puppets (5 fingers) ▬ 1 D-rank puppet (10 fingers) ___○ C-rank: 3 E-rank puppets (3 fingers) ▬ 2 D-rank puppets (5 fingers) ▬ 1 C-rank puppet (10 fingers) ___○ B-rank: 5 E-rank puppets (2 fingers) ▬ 3 D-rank puppets (3 fingers) ▬ 2 C-rank puppets (5 fingers) ▬ 1 B-rank puppet (10 fingers) ___○ A-rank: 10 E-rank puppets (1 finger) ▬ 5 D-rank puppets (2 fingers) ▬ 3 C-rank puppets (3 fingers) ▬ 2 B-rank puppets (5 fingers) ▬ 1 A-rank puppet (10 fingers) ___○ S-rank: 10 E-rank puppets (1 finger) ▬ 10 D-rank puppets (1 finger) ▬ 5 C-rank puppets (2 fingers) ▬ 3 B-rank puppets (3 fingers) ▬ 2 A-rank puppet (5 fingers) ▬ 1 S-rank puppet (10 fingers)
• Note: Hand seals can still be used as normal even with threads attached.
___C r e a t i o n First and foremost, before a puppeteer can have a puppet, that puppet must be crafted by either them or another character. If the puppeteer is not so skilled in crafting, they might prefer to have it made by someone else. To start the crafting process, a puppeteer must first have the puppet they would like to create approved here. The Puppet Creation Shop, which is explained in detail in the approval thread, is used to determine the rank of the puppet being created. See the Limits section to find out what you are limited to as far as controlling puppets. Once the puppet design is approved, the approval moderator will provide the list of materials needed to craft that puppet. Finally, after the materials have been gathered, the puppet can be crafted.
___S e t u p After the parts needed to build a puppet have been gathered, one still has to get it put together. Although you personally do not have to do this, it is urged you do so, as to get to know your puppet inside and out. This process takes time, as one grows as a puppeteer, setting puppets up becomes simple routine. If a puppet is altered, it must be set back up, to make sure it still works. Additionally, pre-constructed puppets do not require setup, but typically cost extra.
The amount of time required is determined by the rank of the puppet being set up, at a rate of one [1] post per rank.
___○ E-rank: One [1] post to setup. ___○ D-rank: Two [2] posts to setup. ___○ C-rank: Three [3] posts to setup. ___○ B-rank: Four [4] posts to setup. ___○ A-rank: Five [5] posts to setup. ___○ S-rank: Six [6] posts to setup.
___A m m u n i t i o n The weaponry held by a puppet is the main source of its lethality. Without weapons, a ninja puppet becomes a simple theater puppet. The ammunition used by a puppet, such as kunai, senbon, or shuriken, are easily replaced or exchanged- as the standard launcher installed in most every puppet is capable of holding such basic projectiles. The obvious problem with this is that you must actually have such projectiles to refill your puppet, as mentioned before. The most simplistic way to obtain such weaponry is to buy them.
___D u r a b i l i t y & U p g r a d i n g Eventually, wear and tear will start to break down a puppet, and parts may need to be fixed or replaced. Each part of a puppet (including limbs and torso) have a base durability determined by the material used to craft the part. As an example, basic wood has a durability of ten [10], meaning that part can take ten [10] direct hits before it needs to be repaired. If a part needs to be repaired, any mechanisms associated with that part have a fifty percent [50%] chance of failing. Materials will more than likely be needed to repair or replace the damaged part.
At any point, any part of the puppet can be replaced or upgraded, assuming that the upgrades do not extend the puppet's rank past the user's capabilities. Of course these parts may need to be crafted or bought, but as long as the puppeteer can acquire the part, it can be added to the puppet. Some time is needed to reassemble the puppet upon replacing parts, as seen in the Setup section.

___B a s i c s ___ Chakura no Ito [Chakra Threads] Rank: E Description: Chakura no Ito is a technique that is usually used by puppeteers to allow them to control their puppets in battle. These strings are constructs made from very concentrated chakra so they can be seen by people besides the user. After hitting B-rank, the user can retrain the technique to suppress the chakra so that the strings become invisible. These strings essentially act as an extension of the user which allows them to manipulate whatever is attached to their strings - such as hidden weaponry in a puppet - as they please. Chakra can also be transferred via the strings, such as to activate techniques that the puppets can use. The chakra strings can also be attached to other objects, allowing the user to control, or at the very least disrupt other things, such as tripping others. This is limited to non-living objects. The technique is limited to one main string per finger, and can stretch approximately fifty [50] meters without modification. Costs an E-rank amount of chakra puppet to connect them, but all puppets being utilized can be connected in one activation, and there is no upkeep cost. Originator: Shadow Hunyistir [Royal Taorito]
