__ Kenshin quietly watched Kojiro dispatch of the young ones with ease before ascending the tower. The second level had the perp who Kenshin would normally be singularly focused on but this was not a typical day. Once their business was conclued on this level they would leave shortly thereafter. However, for now he faced the two phantoms of his past in Hachiro and Raiju. His byakugan allowed him to peer into their chakra levels and other physical attributes. He lowered his rapier which still rested in his hand. "I'm here to take both of you to Arashigakure prison. I'll not waste my tenseigan and sage mode on such unworthy opponents. Even without them, I'm still far stronger than both of you...combined." His condescending stare rested more on the fallen KPD officer although he did spare a passing glance in Raiju's direction. "Hirohiko, are the stories about you running off to become a low brigand true? I shouldn't be surprised since the potential of you becoming a fine officer died along with your light in that sewer." Kenshin was unaware of Hachiro's far calmer disposition because he saw the man only as the wrathful trainee officer he was and not the man he became. There was no doubt that tales of the Sannin's participation in the Kogarashi war with his tenseigan had reached the Land of Fire. The only flicker of enjoyment Kenshin got from his life were moments such as these where he could exact justice on the world. This instance was particularly satisfying in its catharsis. "Raiju, what's going to happen is that you'll die in prison for escaping no matter how big and clunky your sword is." He could not have thought less of the convict who stood before him. Out of respect for Kojiro he would not take on them both despite being tempted to. Kenshin waited patiently for them to hastily go on the attack.

Personal Attributes • Piercing Accuracy | The clansman is more proficient than his fellow clan members at striking tenketsu. One's gentle fist application allows them to reduce 1.5 times the amount of chakra spent in a jyuken strike instead of 1.25. For example, if one spends 100 chakra on a gentle fist technique, the attack robs the target of 150 instead of the 125 normal clansmen would reduce. • Purest Lineage | The clansman's thoroughbred lineage allows them access to the Byakugan without the use of a hand seal, chakra cost, or activation. In addition, should they unlock the Tenseigan, they may have 50% less reserves to maintain it than other clan members and may also activate the Tenseigan without the use of a hand seal, chakra cost, or activation. • Physical Prowess | The Hyuuga gains a slight increase to reflex OR speed per body rank. This totals in a supreme increase for one or a moderate increase for both at S-Rank.

Similarly, unhindered, the weapon always comes back when thrown for the techniques below, and can be pulled to the user free of activation via its wire so long as the nigh-invisible string is not cut. • Thread the Needle | This skill increases the speed of the wielder moderately while Nuibari is wielded.

Raiju grimaced as he realized that the man before him had halted his blade with nothing more than a pinching of two fingers. He loosed his sword and stumbled backwards only to roar back at Kenshin who was spouting off to them both. " Yeah, yeah. I'mma big shot and I don't gotta try!" he mocked to Kenshin as he lowered his sword towards Kenshin's body. "Just shut up!" A darkblue chakra enveloped the double edged sword as it shot like a laser towards Kenshin.
As though annoyed, Hachiro would flick his sword which he had drawn previously but not swung with. The simple flick of his wrist would cause the blade's short jar to release a demonic blade of chakra from it's physical form and intercept the laser beam before it clashed with Kenshin's assured defense once reacted to. " You...." Hachiro said with menacing intent, glaring at the criminal. The whites of his eyes shifted to a black color, Kenshin would clearly sense the corrupted nature chakra seeping from a centralized location on his left side over his heart. " I told you to wait." The shadowy color in his eyes seemed to easily recess upon will as he turned back to Kenshin to speak. " I did spend time with a group here in the Land of Fire to provide for those who did without. I was not proud of what I did during those few years and I always tried to save more lives than I took...but sometimes it's unavoidable. After crossing swords with a guard from this tower he offered me employment as an alternative to that lifestyle. It's been four years." His expression was cold and stoic. It was unlikely that he was lying about the circumstances of his alliance with brigands but he definitely didn't wear shame about the lives taken, simply attempted to offset the number he killed with saved lives. His reaction to Kenshin's commitment to take them both to Arashigakure Prison was clearly undesired."What happened in the sewers that day... was a child being broken. I was scarcely twelve. Besides, your village claimed it's independence and separated from the land of lightning. We've no reason to cross blades aside from personal benefit." He sighed. " Oh, yeah. What ever became of Ada? She was taken off to the Royal Guard shortly after Seizan...how is she, Selina and....Tsukiko?" he asked as he blanked on the last one's name. In the background, the man who brandished the magical sword seemed to be getting riled up even further with each passing word.
__ Kenshin watched Raiju attempt to attack him before Hachiro's interception. He then proceeded to listen to Hachiro's empty rationalizations for his criminality. He ignored his request for information about Ada, Selina, and Tsukiko and responded. "It's a shame that this supposedly famed summit of honorable warriors is recruiting thugs like yourselves. I know what you are, Hirohiko, police duty didn't break your innocence, it only revealed the wolf within." The morally upright man who succeeded where Hachiro failed continued to condescend to him. "I know you're trying to sound calm and smart, but all the secession means is that I'll transfer you to imperial custody once you're behind bars in Storm." Kenshin continued to enjoy his smug satisfaction of what justice was about to be done. This enjoyment was only a thin layer atop his boiling rage, however. The police captain was unsure of what else needed to be said by Hachiro. He would never forget, he would never pardon, and he would never empathize with him. It was time for Hachiro to finally meet his just fate in chains.

Kojiro was coming to understand Hachiro's role in the group of heroes from his village even more. Hachiro was a man who had fallen from the path of righteousness, a man who discovered his talent in slaying other men. Kojiro would sigh heavily, realizing that sometimes it might be best to never meet your heroes. Kojiro would silently draw his blades as Kenshin awaited his former allies retort. Kojiro would dart forward, bringing his blade to his side before unleashing a horizontal slash that would be met by Hachiro's own without a doubt, allowing the two to clash. Kojiro would look to Hachiro with disappointment. His grimace would be lost to Hachiro as lightning flooded through his blade, creating a sonic boom that would throw Hachiro back several feet. " Hirohiko."He said, his voice seeming distant as if he was pulling some long forgotten memory. His eyes wouled come to focus as he glanced to his soon to be foe. " She was your sister then? Emiko. " Kojiro's eyes illuminated with a zealous passion as he spoke again, awaiting Hachiro's potentially explosive reaction. " She died protecting my family in Seizan all those years ago... she told me to find you." He closed his eyes, clenching his sword tightly making an audible creaking of leather and wood. " I'm going to defeat you....the only way to fufill the promise I made to her in her last moments is for you understand her wishes I've carried in her stead. "
He spared but a glance to Kenshin as he hoped he would understand nodding to his teacher and leaving the man with less intelligence than strength, their mission target, to Kenshin.

__ Kenshin watched Hachiro and Kojiro clash and listened to his pupil's words. His sharp glance stopped piercing into Hachiro as he nodded in recognition of the vow Kojiro made. As much as he desired being the one to enforce justice over Hachiro, he quietly respected Kojiro's personal honor in his commitments. In a blink, the naturally quick warrior disappeared and reappeared in front of Raiju. He loosed a flurry of sixty-four precise stabs toward his torso with his rapier. Each strike would block the tenketsu on contact but would not pierce the skin. His tensed ocular veins pulsed with his own righteous fury against the old foe.

Raiju would grit his teeth as Kenshin took the offensive upon him, appearing suddenly before him. Crossing his blade across his body with just enough time to preform a half cocked defense the man would release a litany of small, thin strands of plasma like lightning energy that would branch off and expand, looking like a wave of needle like points that would clash with Kenshin's attack. Kenshin's superior strength and speed combined with his complex assault would overpower Raiju's ninjutsu released from the blade with just enough force to break even. However, the sonic boom that would follow pushed the man back, causing him to bounce along the ground like a rock being skipped until he halted twenty feet from where the impact was made. "Ngggh. Son-of-a..." he began as he fought his way back to his feet, lunging back at Kenshin for yet another slash. " Yer gonna die, Kosei!"
Meanwhile, Hachiro would face off against Kojiro, the new sword that served the APD, his former village and stood beside his former companion. Kojiro's own sonic boom had driven Hachiro back several feet, causing him some trouble, even his hearing was deafened. He knew that Kenshin's new ally was no pushover, but that was to be expected. Just as Hachiro would ready himself to advance again, the gray haired man before him would call out an unexpected name. Emiko. His departed sister. He paused, listening to Kojiro's story. He clenched his teeth as he could not fathom what his sister's words were. " What is this? A promise? To what, defeat me? Preposterous. My sister would not turn against me." He would grasp his blade, bringing it to the ready as he would begin to glow with a haunting demonic like chakra, at the same time Hachiro would meld a special chakra into his body, altering his speed through special techniques he had developed over time, negating Kojiro's reflexes. Hachiro advanced rapidly on Kojiro, releasing a flurry of slashes that would contain the same haunting chakra in each strike that would cause the man to see large demonic creatures that attacked in unison with his blade, empowering Hachiro.
Hachiro had recovered fairly well, he was certainly astute and well skilled. He could not help but wonder what kind of man he was before, he did not seem blood thirsty as Kenshin had always alluded to. Kojiro would question his judgement of the man as he observed the physical manifestation of his chakra. The rich chakra of the man would give him chills, even after facing other stronger opponents the man gave off this...presence. As Hachiro exploded forward toward Kojiro, his eyes widening in disbelief as the man moved at phenomenal speeds. As he neared Kojiro he released a flurry of strikes against Kojiro. The newly promoted officer would counter with a flurry of sword thrusts that would equally counter the strikes force. While the blade's slashes were perfectly countered, Kojiro could not ignore what he witnessed behind him. Monsterous creatures backed the attacks of the man, were they real? Illusions? He couldn't be sure but the sight would cause him to leap backwards and take a defensive position as cold sweat built on the nape of his neck.
The insanity of the images he had seen were enough to make him doubt who...what he was fighting. Hachiro's words slowly began to set as he began to form his next sentence. " N-no. " He started, gatering his words still. Clearly shaken. " I promised her... I would find you...and that I would make sure you're safe. " He strengthened his resolve, trying to mentally stabilize himself. His right handed blade would begin to glow with his emerald electrical current as his Chidori Eisou augmented his blade. " So thats why... justice isn't enough here. You'll have to repent. Whatever light you had...find it."
With that, Kojiro began to exude a powerful chakra that would cause everyone within the room to have difficulty standing in place as a pressure would drive them all outward from Kojiro. He bolted forward, slashing his blade at Hachiro horizontally as he concealed his left handed blade with his body as he rotated with the slash, creating a fifteen foot horizontal area that would be easily cleaved in half if contact was made. With his footing surely thrown astray, Hachiro would be hard pressed to fight this assassination technique, but Kojiro was sure he could at the minimum survive. Even if it was defended, Hachiro would be blown away by the sonic boom to follow.

__ Kenshin found even the man's battle techniques deplorable. It was sloppy and inelegant the way he carelessly swung his clunky weapon. He lacked the finesse of a proper swordsman. Admittedly, Hachiro had such skills causing him to slightly envy Kojiro's duel. First, he positioned his rapier to cause the massive sword slash to slide off of the blade. Kenshin's superior strength allowed him to solidly hold the needle-like sword in a sideward parry of the greatsword. He then unleashed a volley of precise strikes once again. This time, over three hundred piercing strikes were sent to pierce the tenketsu points.
Technique Used: • Sideward Parry ___○ B | Simple • Hakke San Hyaku Rokujūichi Shō [ Eight Trigrams: Three Hundred and Sixty One Palms ] ___○ S | Complex | Overwhelming Technique Active: • [ Technique Name ] ___○ [ Rank ]
Byakugan Status: • Active Tenseigan Status: • Inactive Sage Mode Status: • Inactive Status Effects: • None
Personal Attributes • Piercing Accuracy | The clansman is more proficient than his fellow clan members at striking tenketsu. One's gentle fist application allows them to reduce 1.5 times the amount of chakra spent in a jyuken strike instead of 1.25. For example, if one spends 100 chakra on a gentle fist technique, the attack robs the target of 150 instead of the 125 normal clansmen would reduce. • Purest Lineage | The clansman's thoroughbred lineage allows them access to the Byakugan without the use of a hand seal, chakra cost, or activation. In addition, should they unlock the Tenseigan, they may have 50% less reserves to maintain it than other clan members and may also activate the Tenseigan without the use of a hand seal, chakra cost, or activation. • Physical Prowess | The Hyuuga gains a slight increase to reflex OR speed per body rank. This totals in a supreme increase for one or a moderate increase for both at S-Rank. In addition, the user gains a single custom slot to be used exclusively for the gentle fist style and one taijutsu slot. • Armory of Justice | Kenshin receives one free custom weapon. • Thundering Justice | Lightning based techniques used by the Hatake are granted a concussive blast in the form of a sonic boom upon impact. This concussive blast has a range of five feet per rank of the parent technique. Those within the area of the blast have a knock-back effect applied if their body rank is lower than the parent technique. In addition, deafness is applied upon impact for two posts. • Tsunami of Justice | Kenshin gains access to the water element.
Nuibari Attributes • Infinite Needles | While Nuibari functions perfectly fine as a long, thin blade that sits between a Jian and a Foil. It's comprised of infinite, instantly replenishing needles. If an opponent is stabbed, the blade will leave several needles inside of the opponent. It also never runs out of string either, with one at the base of the weapon, and one attached to each needle. Similarly, unhindered, the weapon always comes back when thrown for the techniques below, and can be pulled to the user free of activation via its wire so long as the nigh-invisible string is not cut. • Thread the Needle | This skill increases the speed of the wielder moderately while Nuibari is wielded.
Discipline & Cross Class Attributes • Blood Knight | Your bloodline techniques possess greater power, allowing them to overwhelm techniques of the same rank and preventing them from succumbing to elemental weaknesses. You can cast bloodline techniques through one-handed seals. {The Overwhelming Trait does not apply to anything above S} • Keystone | You receive an additional 5 custom technique slots to be used only on bloodline and bloodline-related techniques. Additionally, you may create a "keystone" technique; this technique is essentially a Bloodline ninja's signature move, with power and versatility similar to a technique such as Kamui. This technique must be submitted as a custom jutsu and approved. It cannot be used to provide stats or reductions. It also does not take a custom jutsu slot. • Specialization | If this class is taken as the first and second class, you may pick 2 of its disciplines.

__ ---Completed Implant Mission---
Kenshin and Kojiro would eventually return to Arashigakure. With a preserved vial of blood as a DNA sample from Raiju in hand, Kenshin would go to the hospital the next day and seek out Kagerou. As the surgeon general, he was certain that she would be able to grant him his second and final implant. He had not seen her since the battle against Sandayu and she would know from his scheduled appointment that he would be arriving. Kenshin finished his medical paperwork and sat patiently in the hospital lobby for the village's best doctor.

The "village's best doctor" was certainly stretching it. However, in this case, perhaps there was a modicum of truth. If anything, she had experience with implants across the board.
Considering Kenshin's rank and prestige, Kagerou walked into the lobby to personally meet and greet him, and considering his reputation, she kept her greeting formal and polite. The ringing of bells accompanied her motions, but otherwise, she was a perfectly symmetrical example of good posture. Standing straight, Kagerou offered a handshake and greeted, "Captain Kosei. A pleasure to see you again. You're likely a busy man so you'll want to get straight to the implant?". As ever, she came wearing a smile and speaking with the slightest hint of a tune in her voice.
__ Kenshin stood, bowed, and firmly shook Kagerou's hand when she appeared. He listened to her greeting and agreed with her assumption. He was in excellent health since adopting sage meditation which profoundly helped his psychological stress and insomnia so he did not require any other medical services at this time. "Correct." His affirmative response was concise and he would cooperate with all medical procedures. He hoped that the rare Raiu DNA that he aquired from Raiku would be compatible with his added Hatake DNA. If so then they would synergize quite effectively in addition to his sage lightning abilities.

In order to recieve an implant, the RPC must either perform a [ Transplantation Technique ] on themselves or have it performed on them by a medical ninja with the technique, at the cost of 10,000 Ryo to the patient for utilizing extensive hospital resources. The med-nin must spend 5 posts performing the surgery, and they are given an A-rank mission reward, as well as 1,000 bonus AC and Ryo for completing the task. If an RPC is unavailable to perform this surgery, the village hospital is willing to provide these services for 25,000 Ryo. This is granted that you have the requirements. Under no circumstance may one transplant material be used for more than one transplant.
Due to Kenshin's diligence, from collecting a clean sample properly to making an appointment ahead of time, the due processes for readying for the implantation were simple. It was only a little bit more complicated than a blood transfusion. After greetings, Kagerou left to made the final preparations to the Raiu blood sample. In the meantime, a nurse walked Kenshin through the usual physical examination and drew some blood that was delivered to Kagerou in the labs. He was then requested to wait in one of the hospital's many examination rooms and change into a hospital gown just in case complications did arise.
In the lab, Kagerou received the fresh sample. Earlier, the Raiu blood sample had already been adopted to Kenshin's blood from an older draw and also verified that the second implant should play nice with the first. This step was just to ascertain that there were no sudden anomalies, no changes in the body between then and now that could cause trouble. Comparing the chakra and biological factors, Kagerou ascertained that there were no sudden adjustments needed. It was nice to know that Kenshin's sage chakra didn't fluctuate with the phase of the moon or something similar.
With sample in hand, Kagerou walked into the examination room, her entrance heralded by the sound of the ringing bells on her wrist. She held a clipboard in her arms and, balanced atop it, the vial of genetic serum that would be injected into Kenshin. "Apologies for the wait," she spoke with all due respect as she set down what she had brought in and held a thick black strip of fabric out to Kenshin, "I'd like to risk endangering the police captain, so I ran a few extra tests." Without so much as a stutter or a change in her smile, Kagerou explained the cloth she held out to Kenshin, "I'll be injecting the serum shortly into your forearm. Please close your eyes and, just in case, tie this over your eyes. It is only a strip of cloth, but having it on could help as a reminder to keep your byakugan inactive." She didn't feel like she needed to repeat what Kenshin no doubt had heard multiple times already. If complications did arise, it was often caused by the new implant exciting existing bloodlines. When such things happened, the best course of access was usually to keep the bloodlines from activating for as long as possible. Of course, there were exceptions...
Whether or not Kenshin took Kagerou's advice was up to him. Kagerou would go about her preparations the same way nonetheless. Kenshin was encouraged to lie down on the patient bed. Then his arm was taken and the implant, fitted with a needle now, was injected into his bloodstream. All the while, Kagerou continued speaking, her voice low and melodic. It was nothing important, simply information about the implant and reminders about how to react. Again, like the situation with the blindfold, it was all information Kenshin had heard or read already. However, it was background noise, soft and lulling.
After fully injecting the implant, Kagerou laid Kenshin's arm down on the bed, and said one last line, "If you feel any discomfort, let me know," before falling silent as her patient's body processed and assimilated the implant. Her left hand, however, did not leave Kenshin's arm, putting a gentle pressure down upon it. Simultaneously a reminder that she was right next to him and so that she could instantly use a medical technique if it became necessary.
__ Once Kagerou collected the blood sample, Kenshin followed a nurse into the examination room. Once he was alone he changed out of his uniform into his hospital gown and meticulously folded his uniform before setting it aside. After a bit of a wait, Kagerou entered with the implant shot. He raised his eyebrow after she likely misspoke about wanting to endanger him. Nonetheless, he quietly followed instructions and tied the cloth over his eyes. He closed his eyes to relax them behind the blindfold. This was not his first implant so he was aware that he had to avoid activating his base bloodline and his other implant from Kojiro's DNA. He was also behaving acutely more cautiously because his last implant was an emergency and unintentional event that was very stressful. Kojiro's blood had mixed with his own and a different medic had to stabilize the powerful and conflicting DNA. He was uncertain if the details of his last surgery were added to his file and if Kagerou had read it. That would explain her conscientiousness but, of course, it could also just be her professionalism. He laid down on his back and felt the injection p***k his forearm and the fluid travel through his bloodstream. Kenshin breathed deeply and meditated to stay focused on keeping his bloodline abilities dormant. The central focus of his meditation was listening pensively to Kagerou's various instructions rather than feeling natural energy. After a few minutes of this dark blue lightning start coursing through all of his veins. His face visibly strained as his Hatake and new Raiu DNA interacted into an exceptionally powerful surge of electricity. His breathing intensified in pain and Kagerou would have the opportunity to use Iryojutsu to neutralize the likely natural genetic hiccup. If she did not then the surge would eventually subside on its own and the pain would cease although not as quickly. Once the implant stabilized Kenshin would sit up and remove the cloth from his eyes. He also planned to follow all instructions for at-home care post-procedure as he did last time. "Thank you for a successful surgery, doctor. My previous implant was not intentional and much less stable. This is my final implant and the new abilities should be useful for dispatching my duties." Although Kenshin always found implants to be somewhat of an impurity he reasoned that since he was forced into the first one that he may as well obtain a second one to optimize his abilities. Unless Kagerou required that he remain checked in then he would go into the lobby and offer his payment to the receptionist for his surgery before leaving the hospital.

Gently pressing down on Kenshin's arm, Kagerou used the point of contact to deliver the necessary iryojutsu to facilitate a smooth implantation. This included, but was not simply limited to, soothing the sudden surge of pain Kenshin felt miday through the procedure. Adjusting temperature. Modifying electrolyte levels. Regulating the ambient electricity within the body. These minute alterations were made with the greatest care, eyes and chakra sensory keeping a careful eye on Kenshin, occasionally shifting to look at the medical monitor besides the bed.
The procedure ended with no complications. "Give the implant a week to settle," Kagerou instructed as she began cleaning up, "Taking a sick leave is ideal, but if not, then at minimum try to avoid using any raiton or Hatake techniques. The rest of your kit, including your Byakugan, should be fine. Following that week, please return for a follow-up check-up. Should everything check out, you can begin training the Raiu implant." These instructions were not required, but they did greatly reduce the chances of any post operation complication. Since these were peace times, Kenshin should have the luxury of abiding by such instructions.
With that, Kagerou bid Kenshin farewell with a smile. He was a free man, now, and his body was healthy enough that the post operation check-up should go without a hitch.
▱▰▱Kenshin carefully heeded Kagerou's advice during his next week at work but was never going to take time off for illness over an implant. Thankfully, he had less patrolling to do and more office work. He avoided using his lightning abilities to give the Raiu implant time to fully establish itself. Overall, he felt much less fatigue as when he haphazardly obtained his first implant. When he arrived at the dojo he unsheathed his rapier and calmly inhaled and exhaled before finally generating electricity. His lightning was dark blue but even further empowered by the Raiu implant or so it seemed. He began practicing the various techniques of the Raiu's style of combat. It was a rare bloodline with rather genius applications. With each lightning-enhanced sword swing, he also used his Hatake abilities to test how they synergized. In no time he managed to master the Raiu techniques.
[ Learned 16 Raiu techniques, 12 from bloodline class, 4 from dojo ]
Personal Attributes • Piercing Accuracy | The clansman is more proficient than his fellow clan members at striking tenketsu. One's gentle fist application allows them to reduce 1.5 times the amount of chakra spent in a jyuken strike instead of 1.25. For example, if one spends 100 chakra on a gentle fist technique, the attack robs the target of 150 instead of the 125 normal clansmen would reduce. • Purest Lineage | The clansman's thoroughbred lineage allows them access to the Byakugan without the use of a hand seal, chakra cost, or activation. In addition, should they unlock the Tenseigan, they may have 50% less reserves to maintain it than other clan members and may also activate the Tenseigan without the use of a hand seal, chakra cost, or activation. • Physical Prowess | The Hyuuga gains a slight increase to reflex OR speed per body rank. This totals in a supreme increase for one or a moderate increase for both at S-Rank. In addition, the user gains a single custom slot to be used exclusively for the gentle fist style and one taijutsu slot. • Armory of Justice | Kenshin receives one free custom weapon. • 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. • Thundering Justice | Lightning based techniques used by the Hatake are granted a concussive blast in the form of a sonic boom upon impact. This concussive blast has a range of five feet per rank of the parent technique. Those within the area of the blast have a knock-back effect applied if their body rank is lower than the parent technique. In addition, deafness is applied upon impact for two posts. • Tsunami of Justice | Kenshin gains access to the water element. • Blessings of Valor | As a world-famous hero, you are forever bestowed with an extra reward in arc, timeskip, and guildwide events.
Nuibari Attributes • Infinite Needles | While Nuibari functions perfectly fine as a long, thin blade that sits between a Jian and a Foil. It's comprised of infinite, instantly replenishing needles. If an opponent is stabbed, the blade will leave several needles inside of the opponent. It also never runs out of string either, with one at the base of the weapon, and one attached to each needle. Similarly, unhindered, the weapon always comes back when thrown for the techniques below, and can be pulled to the user free of activation via its wire so long as the nigh-invisible string is not cut. • Thread the Needle | This skill increases the speed of the wielder moderately while Nuibari is wielded.
Discipline & Cross Class Attributes • Blood Knight | Your bloodline techniques possess greater power, allowing them to overwhelm techniques of the same rank and preventing them from succumbing to elemental weaknesses. You can cast bloodline techniques through one-handed seals. {The Overwhelming Trait does not apply to anything above S} • Heritage Keystone | You receive an additional 5 custom technique slots to be used only on bloodline and bloodline-related techniques. Additionally, you may create a "keystone" technique; this technique is essentially a Bloodline ninja's signature move, with power and versatility similar to a technique such as Kamui. This technique must be submitted as a custom jutsu and approved. It cannot be used to provide stats or reductions. It also does not take a custom jutsu slot. • Specialization | If this class is taken as the first and second class, you may pick 2 of its disciplines. Additionally, bloodline cast by this specialization are cheaper in cost as determined by the users body rank. At body rank D and C costs are reduced by five[5]. At body rank B and A, costs are reduced by ten[10]. Finally at body rank S and S+ costs are reduced by fifteen[15] These reductions DO NOT stack and override their previous totals. (D+C -5, B+A -10, S beyond -15). Gain an Additional 5 Custom slots dedicated to your bloodline.
Purity Weapon Status Weapon Name:Purity Weapon Type: Rapier
Weapon Height: 38 inches Weapon Weight: 2 lbs
Description: Purity is a white rapier with an ornately designed crossguard with the symbols of Kumogakure and the Kumogakure Police Department (K.P.D.) engraved in serving as a K.P.D. officer sword. The blade itself is thirty-eight inches long and made from steel. The sword is designed for thrusting and parrying and is considerably lightweight.
Ability Summary: • Gentle Touche | By thrusting and spending the chakra and stamina cost of a Gentle Fist technique while applying ten chakra to the blade the Gentle Fist technique can be used through Purity. The Art of the Gentle Fist can also be utilized through Purity for a ten post duration after putting a D-Rank amount of chakra into the blade. These do not consume activations. • Touché | By spending five chakra Purity is able to completely trade physical damage to instead seal tenketsu points and inflict severe pain in the area struck. This simulates the feeling of being pierced with the blade. Slashing attacks can still take effect. This does not consume an activation.
