Yuga's supreme master spoke of a test, and it turned Yuga's blood cold. Academy examinations were one thing, but a test direct from the Amekage was likely to be another thing entirely. It did mean a faster track to his goal of becoming a KASA agent though, so what choice did he really have? Before he'd even had a chance to respond though, Yuga spotted the village leader's glowing eye, and felt himself being pulled forward. Unsure what was happening, the Aburame did what he could to fight against the strange force, but lost his battle quickly. In an instant he found himself tumbling through some kind of portal, which quickly transitioned to an out-and-out freefall.
Or at least... what felt like a freefall. The portal had deposited him into some kind of black void, as far as he could tell. There was no frame of reference, nothing to grab, nothing to land on. That is, until the purple moon appeared. Yuga's attention was drawn to it immediately, and another sensation washed over him. It was far more subtle, not even consciously noticeable really, but it filled Yuga's body nonetheless. Seconds later, a dead forest took shape below him, and Yuga braced himself for the inevitable hard impact that was coming. He reached out just enough to grab the end of a branch in order to slow his descent. It snapped almost immediately, but it gave enough resistance to redirect Yuga's fall slightly. Instead of crashing into the ground at full speed, he tumbled gracelessly through dead branches that scratched and battered him all the way down. Eventually he slowed enough to steady his final landing, but he wasn't sure if his method had hurt any less than just taking the brunt of hte fall.
Regardless of his method, he was finally back on solid ground. A sigh of relief escaped him, but the feeling didn't last long. Satoshi's voice filled the strange dimension, offering the gift of his prophecy, and the curse of his tests. Freedom and other rewards awaited him apparently, so once again Yuga was left with a false choice. "Yes, milord. I would be honored." It was the truth, even if it was interwoven with nerves and doubt. The Aburame stood tall, fighting back the nerves he felt, unsure whether they came from the idea of the test, or the uncertainty of what his prophecy might reveal. Would he be the honed tool he'd been trained and aspired to be? Could his potential live up to his ambition? What would his legacy be; an unknown statistic of the shinobi world, or a progenitor of countless generations born to serve their supreme leader Satoshi?

Ephemeral Ozymandias
Posted: Wed Mar 15, 2023 10:52 am
▱▰▱Satoshi kept weaving his tsukuyomi with the wavelengths of his kamui realm as Yuga responded to him. Yuga was trapped in an illusory realm that if broken would reveal a void of nothingness just beyond. Crow language letters filled the area as a massive scroll materialized. The letters in the scroll were likewise in the crow language and glowed with chakra. Satoshi's crow eye looked down pensively at the page. The Amekage's voice would read aloud. "A member of the clan of the oil woman and the cockroach, he comes of age in the Rain under a dread lord. Though he was not born in it, he accepts the glare of the crow eye above. He will follow in the steps under the umbrella. He will become the lead torturer as he learns to control the terror insects. He shall achieve much along this path." Once Satoshi was done reading Yuga's prophecy, the dead forest began melting away. Crows cawed as stone steps were laid out before Yuga. The stairs were floating in a void as nothing surrounded Yuga except the crow-eye moon above. There were hundreds of stone stairs that led to a purple umbrella of Japanese style. He would recognize it as a KASA umbrella even from a great distance. Suddenly, he would hear thunder as torrential rain fell upon him. The stairs were slippery as two Ameonna appeared from the sky and began attacking him with their claws. [2X E-Rank claw strikes] The rain women yokai would try to kill Yuga in the rain before he could reach the top of the stairs to grab the umbrella. "Solve thee riddle to succeed." Satoshi's voice boomed from the clouds.

Weapon Specs ▰ Weapon Name: Kagekiken no Gensō [ 歌劇剣 の 幻想, Illusory Opera Sword ] ▰ Weapon Type: Cutlass ▰ Weapon Size: 27 inches long/1 inch wide ▰ Bukijutsu Classification: Medium Blade ▰ Weapon Weight: 3 lbs ▰ Stats Increase: +2 Agility, +2 Speed ▰ Elemental Affinity: Miasma, Fire ▰ Description: Kagekiken no Gensō is a haunted legendary blade that is infamous for "making fictions real" with a three-act drama that is based on illusory genjutsu and manifests as simple games. The first act represents a great hero who embarks on his journey but is forced to confront the darkness of his own psyche and that of his traitorous companions. The second act represents when the hero overcomes the betrayal and hides from the beast he was sent to kill. The third and final act details how the hero slays the beast, defeats the dark forces, and saves the kingdom. All genjutsu manifested by Kagekiken itself are holographic in nature meaning that everyone in its presence who detects the trigger including the wielder is subject to the rules of the play unless they release themselves. All performances are choreographed games meaning that there is a determined fate behind what occurs and it is not a gamble.Kagekiken has a dark blue katana hilt and bronze tsuba that deceptively indicates that it is a katana when sheathed but when unsheathed the blade is revealed to be a cutlass. ▰ Ability Summary: Act I: The Shadow Game [ Dai Ichi: Kage Gēmu ] | Rank X | Genjutsu [ Miasma ] | Cost [ Spritual ] ▰Category: Illusory ▰Primary Sense: Sight ▰Additional Senses: Touch, Sound ▰Base Duration: 10 Posts ▰Upkeep: 20 Chakra ▰Trigger: Acknowledging Miasma From Blade ▰Source: Holograms ▰Status Effect: Insanity ▰Description: The wielder creates a thick "curtain" of purple miasma generated through the blade. If the miasma is viewed, inhaled, or acknowledged in any other way then they are placed under the rules of Kagekiken's shadow game including the wielder, allies, and enemies alike. The shadow game is that anyone whose shadow is stepped on by another player becomes insane. One tier higher insanity compared to the rank of the genjutsu is applied to those whose shadow was stepped on. Players can hide in their shadow and shrink it down to half its size or grow it to double its size. The shadow of Kagekiken can cut the shadow of another to seemingly cause the same injury on their actual body. Those who lose the shadow game become more insane and susceptible to additional fictions. Act II. Hide and Seek [ Dai Nii: Kakurenbō ] | Rank X | Genjutsu | Spiritual ▰Category: Illusory ▰Primary Sense: Sight ▰Additional Senses: Touch ▰Base Duration: 10 Posts ▰Upkeep: 20 Chakra ▰Trigger: Acknowledging Violet Light From Blade ▰Source: Holographic ▰Status Effect: Mental Stress ▰Description: The cutlass is covered in haunting and blaring violet light that when acknowledged begins the second act of the opera. All players including the user start with the first tier of mental stress. Expending 10 chakra allows violet light to consume any player including the user and opponent to cloak them in invisibility. Using combat actions causes the hider to be revealed. Invisibility does not consume an action so players can weave in and out of invisibility with ease. When a player makes physical contact with another it makes the other player "found" and raises their tier of mental stress by one. The player that reaches the fourth tier of mental stress first loses the game and is affected by genjutsu at [1] sense higher for the rest of the battle. Act III. Make Believe [ Dai San: Itsuwari ] | Rank X | Genjutsu [ Miasma ] | Spiritual ▰Category: Illusory ▰Primary Sense: Sight ▰Additional Senses: Sound, Touch ▰Base Duration: 10 Posts ▰Upkeep: 20 Chakra ▰Trigger: Acknowledging Illusory Fog ▰Source: Holographic ▰Status Effect: Insanity ▰Description: A purple fog (can be substituted for miasma) originates from Kagekiken over the entire area (topix) and acknowledgment of the fog begins the game. Because of the illusionary nature of the fog, it can be blasted away but will cover the area immediately and seems to constantly replace itself. In the fog's denseness, there are passing phantoms of monstrous yokai. While in the fog, players can create [1] X-Ranked monster per post of their own imagination using their own chakra. The created monster can use basic combat attacks against another player's monster. When a player's monster dies a tiered amount of insanity based on the chakra rank of the monster inflicts the creator. If a monster harms a player's body they believe the injuries are real.
Poison Specs ▰ Drug Name: Yorujozo (夜の醸造, Yoru no jōzō, Night Brew) ▰ Drug Type: Poison ▰ Drug Tier: Legendary | Tier 4 ▰ Drug Form: Liquid | Gas ▰ Narcotic Description: Yorujozo is a violet alcoholic brew created by the Shadowfoot Tribe of oni who live in the black forest (Kuro Shinrin) of the Land of Fire. These oni are born with gray skin that turns violet from the amount of Yorujozo they consume. Regular consumption of Yorujozo can turn the lips violet while constant intake dyes the body's skin. Yorujozo is highly toxic and hallucinogenic. The Shadowfoot oni consider the liquid sacred because consumption of it gives them otherworldly visions which aid in deciphering prophecies, a central aspect of the tribe's culture. The brew is highly sedative as well and helps the consumer sleep while also delivering the typical effects of alcohol. The brew is made from the inky purple leaves of the black forest's trees. Newborn Shadowfoot oni are fed a single leaf to allow them to consume Yorujozo without harm. Those who ingest this rare leaf become immune to Yorujozo's toxicity while retaining the psychedelic and alcoholic effects. Yorujozo is a viscous liquid of violet coloring that flows like honey and creates illusory fumes. It tastes as foul as ink when it hits the tongue but has a sweet and pleasant taste when swallowed. It can easily be made into gas and applied to miasma techniques. Yorujozo when it poisons a target is highly sedative and reduces speed greatly. It causes insanity and intense hallucinations psychologically. Physically the poison turns the skin violet and necrotic while causing the eyes to shake and is intensely disorienting. The rare black forest leaves that are used to brew this poison can be used as an acutely efficacious antidote.
• Reduces speed by 8. • Subtracts 160 chakra and stamina from reserves. (If cured immediately, this effect does not apply.) • Continually Deducts 40 chakra and stamina until cured. • Because it is an oni brew all status effects are one tier lower in effectiveness against oni: • Insanity | Tier 4 ▱▰▱• Reduces agility by 8 until cured or the insanity-inducing genjutsu is dispelled. ▱▰▱• The caster can add [4] phantasms (sensory hallucinations) to any additional genjutsu until cured or the insanity-inducing genjutsu is dispelled. Cannot go beyond the [5] sense limit. • Disease | Tier 4 ▱▰▱• Bukijutsu and Taijutsu are 1-rank weaker. ▱▰▱• Increase the cost of all techniques by [40]. • Vertigo | Tier 4 ▱▰▱• Evasive maneuvers cost [80] additional resource. ▱▰▱• Shunshin can be used but are disoriented and cause the user to end up somewhere else, Shunshin and Kawarimi cause nausea reducing activation and additionally causes the user to fall on the ground.
Personal Attributes ▱▰▱ Crow Eye | When a young Satoshi looked through the lens of fate to see his prophecy, his right eye was taken as a price. This eye has been nicknamed his "crow eye" because it was cursed by the crow king Yatagarasu in exchange for the prophecy. This crow eye is connected to the eyes of Yogen, the personal summon of Satoshi who has been fate bound to his summoner. Satoshi's crow eye and Yogen's eyes will often glow in unison. The crow eye's appearance is a ghastly violet that glows when it is not covered by an eyepatch. When the sharingan is used through the crow eye it appears to have blackened sclera and glowing purple tomoe and pupils. When the crow eye is in use it causes throbbing headache pain and is more susceptible to blindness. Mangekyo skills used through the crow eye are reduced by [1] use before the blindness status is inflicted. For example, if a technique can be used twice before blindness happens then in the crow eye it could only be used once meaning that the eye goes blind faster. However, the cursed crow eye is maddening when gazed upon as when a genjutsu is cast through it the eye glares with extremely bright violet light and inflicts insanity equal to the rank of the technique. ▱▰▱ Demonic Shroud | When an E-Rank amount of chakra is applied to Satoshi's natural chakra materialization it becomes even more realistic and haunting. Viewing the fog acts as the trigger for genjutsu and counts as eye contact for sharingan genjutsu/hypnosis if his sharingan is active. Alternatively, if no genjutsu is cast then viewing the shroud merely causes first-tier mental stress or insanity. This is not a technique and does not cost an activation. ▱▰▱ Illusory Prowess | This attribute allows any and all genjutsu to be cast through eye contact with the Uchiha. In addition, the genjutsu cast in this manner have the sight sense added to them at C Rank body. At S Rank body, the user's genjutsu are given the chakra sense. Also, mental stress or insanity can be added to any genjutsu cast through eye contact for an additional fifty percent chakra cost. ▱▰▱ Genetic Palette | With intensive genetic therapy and strong blood, this character is able to possess more than one transplant. This allows the character up to two transplants total, of any of the three categories. Illusory Prowess: This attribute allows any and all genjutsu to be cast through eye contact with the Uchiha. In addition, the genjutsu cast in this manner have the sight sense added to them at C Rank body. At S Rank body, the user's genjutsu are given the chakra sense. Also, mental stress or insanity can be added to any genjutsu cast through eye contact for an additional fifty percent chakra cost. ▱▰▱ Get Thee Back into the Tempest | Satoshi is granted the wind element. ▱▰▱ Phantom Master | Satoshi is able to add an additional sense to the illusory images created by his signature style of Phantom Slayer and custom techniques based upon it for a maximum of [2] senses. The images are sight-based and thus always have that sense but [2] additional senses like touch and sound can be added. ▱▰▱ Amaterasu’s Cloak | All fire based techniques produced by the Uchiha are considered bloodline techniques.The flames are turned black and fire based techniques are reduced by 5 chakra per rank with a minimum of 5 chakra to be paid for a technique. For each rank of a technique, it's flames burn actively for one post or one additional post if a limit is given. ▱▰▱ Melee Prodigy | The user obtains a [1] point increase to agility while their sharingan is active for each body rank they have obtained. In addition, the user's first physical offensive activation every three posts gains a [1] point increase to speed per rank of their body, also requiring the eyes to be active. ▱▰▱ Mirror Master | Satoshi is able to add an additional sense to the illusory images created by the Mirror Image Art taijutsu style and custom techniques based upon it for a maximum of [2] senses. The images are sight-based and thus always have that sense but [2] additional senses like touch and sound can be added. ▱▰▱ Lore of the Crows | As a crow sage, Satoshi is able to read the ancient written crow language in the crow contract scroll and learn the secrets of their genjutsu. As a result, in combat, non-instance genjutsu cast by Satoshi in combat last for one post longer for no upkeep cost for each actively summoned crow on the battlefield (maximum of 5) as long as he is the contract holder. ▱▰▱ Fanning Flames | The user's fire based techniques may be doubled in size for no additional cost. This does not effect the strength of the user's fire based techniques. In addition, should the user's fire ninjutsu or clan techniques interact with another fire based technique, the user's technique steals one rank of chakra from the opposing technique. If this overpowers the opponents technique, this technique continues on it's path normally. ▱▰▱ Touch of the Boundless | The Uzumaki can create any and all seals, and therefore cast any sealing technique - no matter how intricate or complex - upon a single touch of their palm without handseals. This alternative method for Fuuin must still adhere to the alternative jutsu casting clause as chakra must still be gathered to accomplish a technique as a seal isn't instantly created. In addition, with one-touch and one action, the Uzumaki is able to summon up to three creatures from a contract for only the chakra cost of the highest-ranked creature summoned. ▱▰▱ Holy Conversion | For every RPC converted to the archpriest's religion they gain an endgame reward of their choice. The endgame reward can only be up to 2,000 XP in value. This PA is only obtained by archpriests and is automatically obtained once that title is granted. ▱▰▱ Plunder of the Vagabond | As a globally feared villain, you will forever be able to obtain Endgame perks with only three-quarters of the experience required.
Yuga listened intently as the voice of his kage rang out from the void surrounding him. He spoke of a prosperous future for the young man, giving him hope for what was to come. A moment later however, the rain began. It drew Yuga's attention from the moon over to the newly formed stairwell now hovering in the void. The entire situation was so surreal that he'd almost missed the hag swooping down upon him. Their appearance startled him, allowing him only the luxury of narrowly dodging their initial lunging. Yuga hopped back from the first, and used this inertia to launch into a backward roll to avoid the second. [Basic Dodge x2] As he finished his roll, Yuga threw his hands back and launched himself upwards, swinging one leg out to utilize his full momentum and leverage to aim a kick at the second rain hag that had swooped in. [Basic Kick] Upon landing, he continued a few steps back to assess the situation and evaluate his options.
So far he'd escaped harm, but in doing so he'd placed the threat between him and his objective. That was never an ideal situation, but the entire situation was less than ideal. He wasn't sure where he was, or even if he technically was anywhere. The only certainty in his mind now was that the umbrella at the top of those stairs, was his ticket out. And that no soggy old hag was going to stop him from getting there.

▱▰▱Yuga's basic taijutsu strikes caused the rain women to squeal loudly as they were launched away into the void. Their screeches were loud, piercing, and unsettling. Despite the dispatching of the rain yokai, the ethereal rain continued to downpour onto Yuga. The stone steps up to the umbrella were slick and quickly beginning to moss over. "Seek refuge under the umbrella, Yuga. Do whatever it takes." Satoshi's disembodied voice echoed through the tsukuyomi realm. The large KASA umbrella stood tall at the summit of the stairs. The umbrella was a metaphor for KASA and represented the comfort and prosperity that loyalty to the organization would bring him.
▱▰▱Once Yuga would reach the top of the stairs, his adoptive father appeared and stood in the way. "Stop, son. I command you." The Sky Sector man demanded before turning around and attempting to take the umbrella for himself and throw it into the darkness to destroy it. "Kill him. Take your rightful place under the umbrella or the fates will take you." Satoshi spoke of this directive to test the boy's loyalty to KASA, which had to come before everything, including family.

The first act represents a great hero who embarks on his journey but is forced to confront the darkness of his own psyche and that of his traitorous companions. The second act represents when the hero overcomes the betrayal and hides from the beast he was sent to kill. The third and final act details how the hero slays the beast, defeats the dark forces, and saves the kingdom. All genjutsu manifested by Kagekiken itself are holographic in nature meaning that everyone in its presence who detects the trigger including the wielder is subject to the rules of the play unless they release themselves. All performances are choreographed games meaning that there is a determined fate behind what occurs and it is not a gamble.Kagekiken has a dark blue katana hilt and bronze tsuba that deceptively indicates that it is a katana when sheathed but when unsheathed the blade is revealed to be a cutlass. ▰ Ability Summary: Act I: The Shadow Game [ Dai Ichi: Kage Gēmu ] | Rank X | Genjutsu [ Miasma ] | Cost [ Spritual ] ▰Category: Illusory ▰Primary Sense: Sight ▰Additional Senses: Touch, Sound ▰Base Duration: 10 Posts ▰Upkeep: 20 Chakra ▰Trigger: Acknowledging Miasma From Blade ▰Source: Holograms ▰Status Effect: Insanity ▰Description: The wielder creates a thick "curtain" of purple miasma generated through the blade. If the miasma is viewed, inhaled, or acknowledged in any other way then they are placed under the rules of Kagekiken's shadow game including the wielder, allies, and enemies alike. The shadow game is that anyone whose shadow is stepped on by another player becomes insane. One tier higher insanity compared to the rank of the genjutsu is applied to those whose shadow was stepped on. Players can hide in their shadow and shrink it down to half its size or grow it to double its size. The shadow of Kagekiken can cut the shadow of another to seemingly cause the same injury on their actual body. Those who lose the shadow game become more insane and susceptible to additional fictions. Act II. Hide and Seek [ Dai Nii: Kakurenbō ] | Rank X | Genjutsu | Spiritual ▰Category: Illusory ▰Primary Sense: Sight ▰Additional Senses: Touch ▰Base Duration: 10 Posts ▰Upkeep: 20 Chakra ▰Trigger: Acknowledging Violet Light From Blade ▰Source: Holographic ▰Status Effect: Mental Stress ▰Description: The cutlass is covered in haunting and blaring violet light that when acknowledged begins the second act of the opera. All players including the user start with the first tier of mental stress. Expending 10 chakra allows violet light to consume any player including the user and opponent to cloak them in invisibility. Using combat actions causes the hider to be revealed. Invisibility does not consume an action so players can weave in and out of invisibility with ease. When a player makes physical contact with another it makes the other player "found" and raises their tier of mental stress by one. The player that reaches the fourth tier of mental stress first loses the game and is affected by genjutsu at [1] sense higher for the rest of the battle. Act III. Make Believe [ Dai San: Itsuwari ] | Rank X | Genjutsu [ Miasma ] | Spiritual ▰Category: Illusory ▰Primary Sense: Sight ▰Additional Senses: Sound, Touch ▰Base Duration: 10 Posts ▰Upkeep: 20 Chakra ▰Trigger: Acknowledging Illusory Fog ▰Source: Holographic ▰Status Effect: Insanity ▰Description: A purple fog (can be substituted for miasma) originates from Kagekiken over the entire area (topix) and acknowledgment of the fog begins the game. Because of the illusionary nature of the fog, it can be blasted away but will cover the area immediately and seems to constantly replace itself. In the fog's denseness, there are passing phantoms of monstrous yokai. While in the fog, players can create [1] X-Ranked monster per post of their own imagination using their own chakra. The created monster can use basic combat attacks against another player's monster. When a player's monster dies a tiered amount of insanity based on the chakra rank of the monster inflicts the creator. If a monster harms a player's body they believe the injuries are real.
Poison Specs ▰ Drug Name: Yorujozo (夜の醸造, Yoru no jōzō, Night Brew) ▰ Drug Type: Poison ▰ Drug Tier: Legendary | Tier 4 ▰ Drug Form: Liquid | Gas ▰ Narcotic Description: Yorujozo is a violet alcoholic brew created by the Shadowfoot Tribe of oni who live in the black forest (Kuro Shinrin) of the Land of Fire. These oni are born with gray skin that turns violet from the amount of Yorujozo they consume. Regular consumption of Yorujozo can turn the lips violet while constant intake dyes the body's skin. Yorujozo is highly toxic and hallucinogenic. The Shadowfoot oni consider the liquid sacred because consumption of it gives them otherworldly visions which aid in deciphering prophecies, a central aspect of the tribe's culture. The brew is highly sedative as well and helps the consumer sleep while also delivering the typical effects of alcohol. The brew is made from the inky purple leaves of the black forest's trees. Newborn Shadowfoot oni are fed a single leaf to allow them to consume Yorujozo without harm. Those who ingest this rare leaf become immune to Yorujozo's toxicity while retaining the psychedelic and alcoholic effects. Yorujozo is a viscous liquid of violet coloring that flows like honey and creates illusory fumes. It tastes as foul as ink when it hits the tongue but has a sweet and pleasant taste when swallowed. It can easily be made into gas and applied to miasma techniques. Yorujozo when it poisons a target is highly sedative and reduces speed greatly. It causes insanity and intense hallucinations psychologically. Physically the poison turns the skin violet and necrotic while causing the eyes to shake and is intensely disorienting. The rare black forest leaves that are used to brew this poison can be used as an acutely efficacious antidote.

Personal Attributes ▱▰▱ Crow Eye | When a young Satoshi looked through the lens of fate to see his prophecy, his right eye was taken as a price. This eye has been nicknamed his "crow eye" because it was cursed by the crow king Yatagarasu in exchange for the prophecy. This crow eye is connected to the eyes of Yogen, the personal summon of Satoshi who has been fate bound to his summoner. Satoshi's crow eye and Yogen's eyes will often glow in unison. The crow eye's appearance is a ghastly violet that glows when it is not covered by an eyepatch. When the sharingan is used through the crow eye it appears to have blackened sclera and glowing purple tomoe and pupils. When the crow eye is in use it causes throbbing headache pain and is more susceptible to blindness. Mangekyo skills used through the crow eye are reduced by [1] use before the blindness status is inflicted. For example, if a technique can be used twice before blindness happens then in the crow eye it could only be used once meaning that the eye goes blind faster. However, the cursed crow eye is maddening when gazed upon as when a genjutsu is cast through it the eye glares with extremely bright violet light and inflicts insanity equal to the rank of the technique. ▱▰▱ Demonic Shroud | When an E-Rank amount of chakra is applied to Satoshi's natural chakra materialization it becomes even more realistic and haunting. Viewing the fog acts as the trigger for genjutsu and counts as eye contact for sharingan genjutsu/hypnosis if his sharingan is active. Alternatively, if no genjutsu is cast then viewing the shroud merely causes first-tier mental stress or insanity. This is not a technique and does not cost an activation. ▱▰▱ Illusory Prowess | This attribute allows any and all genjutsu to be cast through eye contact with the Uchiha. In addition, the genjutsu cast in this manner have the sight sense added to them at C Rank body. At S Rank body, the user's genjutsu are given the chakra sense. Also, mental stress or insanity can be added to any genjutsu cast through eye contact for an additional fifty percent chakra cost. ▱▰▱ Genetic Palette | With intensive genetic therapy and strong blood, this character is able to possess more than one transplant. This allows the character up to two transplants total, of any of the three categories. Illusory Prowess: This attribute allows any and all genjutsu to be cast through eye contact with the Uchiha. In addition, the genjutsu cast in this manner have the sight sense added to them at C Rank body. At S Rank body, the user's genjutsu are given the chakra sense. Also, mental stress or insanity can be added to any genjutsu cast through eye contact for an additional fifty percent chakra cost. ▱▰▱ Get Thee Back into the Tempest | Satoshi is granted the wind element. ▱▰▱ Phantom Master | Satoshi is able to add an additional sense to the illusory images created by his signature style of Phantom Slayer and custom techniques based upon it for a maximum of [2] senses. The images are sight-based and thus always have that sense but [2] additional senses like touch and sound can be added. ▱▰▱ Amaterasu’s Cloak | All fire based techniques produced by the Uchiha are considered bloodline techniques.The flames are turned black and fire based techniques are reduced by 5 chakra per rank with a minimum of 5 chakra to be paid for a technique. For each rank of a technique, it's flames burn actively for one post or one additional post if a limit is given. ▱▰▱ Melee Prodigy | The user obtains a [1] point increase to agility while their sharingan is active for each body rank they have obtained. In addition, the user's first physical offensive activation every three posts gains a [1] point increase to speed per rank of their body, also requiring the eyes to be active. ▱▰▱ Mirror Master | Satoshi is able to add an additional sense to the illusory images created by the Mirror Image Art taijutsu style and custom techniques based upon it for a maximum of [2] senses. The images are sight-based and thus always have that sense but [2] additional senses like touch and sound can be added. ▱▰▱ Lore of the Crows | As a crow sage, Satoshi is able to read the ancient written crow language in the crow contract scroll and learn the secrets of their genjutsu. As a result, in combat, non-instance genjutsu cast by Satoshi in combat last for one post longer for no upkeep cost for each actively summoned crow on the battlefield (maximum of 5) as long as he is the contract holder. ▱▰▱ Fanning Flames | The user's fire based techniques may be doubled in size for no additional cost. This does not effect the strength of the user's fire based techniques. In addition, should the user's fire ninjutsu or clan techniques interact with another fire based technique, the user's technique steals one rank of chakra from the opposing technique. If this overpowers the opponents technique, this technique continues on it's path normally. ▱▰▱ Touch of the Boundless | The Uzumaki can create any and all seals, and therefore cast any sealing technique - no matter how intricate or complex - upon a single touch of their palm without handseals. This alternative method for Fuuin must still adhere to the alternative jutsu casting clause as chakra must still be gathered to accomplish a technique as a seal isn't instantly created. In addition, with one-touch and one action, the Uzumaki is able to summon up to three creatures from a contract for only the chakra cost of the highest-ranked creature summoned. ▱▰▱ Holy Conversion | For every RPC converted to the archpriest's religion they gain an endgame reward of their choice. The endgame reward can only be up to 2,000 XP in value. This PA is only obtained by archpriests and is automatically obtained once that title is granted. ▱▰▱ Plunder of the Vagabond | As a globally feared villain, you will forever be able to obtain Endgame perks with only three-quarters of the experience required.
