Description: This item is designed to be used by nearly everyone in Kumogakure. However the teenager who designed it could not take everything into account, but he has done what he could. He has designed it so that it can take in three different elements that are common in Kumogakure - Wind, Fire, and Lightning. The glider provides flight capabilities in a variety of ways based on which element the person who is using channels into the glider.
The glider is built so that a full-grown person can comfortably sit rest between the wings while standing up. Straps crisscross the user and belt around the waist to hold the user in place. For quick release all the straps belt into a single buckle, which can be heavily depressed to release the straps and let the user out of the contraption. The wings are rigid and fixed in place the majority of the time, with closed vents on the front and back, and exhaust ports on the rear to be used in certain situations - to be used in conjunction with specific elements.
However, there is a great weakness for the glider. The wings are constructed of wood and a thin sheet of chakra-reactive paper, which is part of the reason flight is capable. This paper is very thin, and prone to tearing - thrown weapons are very, very useful in preventing usage, as a single cut can prevent flight from being used. If torn, the Tri-Glider has to be brought back to the person who crafted it so it can be repaired.

Fire When the user of a Tri-glider channels Fire-natured chakra into it, the Glider activates small jets that will push the glider through the air and forward. This is the least secretive of the methods of utilization, as there is no way to disguise the jets of fire that provide push. This is also the second most chakra expensive method to use, as it takes two D-ranks per post to continue flight. The Tri-Glider cannot be used with Fire Chakra if it is wet, making it useless during storms.

Lightning When the user of a Tri-glider channels Lightning-natured chakra into it, special mechanisms begin operating within the wings. The wings become moveable and start flapping up and down while providing a small amount of push, imitating a bird flapping its wings to carry the glider through the air. This method is moderately stealthy, as anyone who manages to hear it would mistake the flapping of the wings for bird wings. This method is the most chakra expensive, as it takes a considerable amount to beat the wings fast enough to carry a shinobi/kunoichi through the air. Costs C-rank per post. While the Tri-Glider can be used with Lightning chakra during a storm, it is dangerous to do so, as there is a high-chance of drawing a lightning bolt to the glider. (roll a D-20, result of four causes lightning to strike the glider)

Wind: When the user of a Tri-Glider channels Wind-natured chakra into it, special vents open up on the front and back of both wings, creating funnels through each wing. This weakens the structural integrity of the wings slightly, but provides several benefits. This is the most silent of the methods of flight, as air is being pulled through the front and pushed out back and downwards, to provide lift and thrust. This method however, provides some difficulty for the user that the others do not. While using the other methods of providing flight the user can activate other jutsu, but this one prevents that as a concentration of chakra is needed. Additionally, this method has a great susceptability to other Wind Jutsu - there is a danger that other Wind Jutsu will wrest the control from the user, and send them plummeting to the ground.


SPECIAL: Can be used by a puppeteer as a puppet would, so long as they activate it with Lightning chakra. This decreases the amount of lightning chakra used to a D-rank, but also requires the user of the Puppetry Threads. This method removes the threat of being used in a storm, as there is not enough Lightning chakra to draw lightning strikes.
