Uzumaki Zanji Update

Name: Mountain Sandwich Technique
Rank: S
Type: Ninjutsu
Used For: Offensive
Element: Earth
Range: The two quarter-spheres can have a 50-100 meter radius
Duration: See Lasting Jutsu Costs
Hand Seals/Charge up: Tiger → Ram → Rat → Slam hands on the ground
Description: The user creates two enormous rock formations that close in on the opponent from two opposing sides with tremendous force, smashing everything caught in between. Both of these formations are capable of dwarfing even the city-block large Demonic Statue of the Outer Path in size.
Weakness: Isn't very practical in close-ranged combat or in a straight-up one-on-one fight, as given the immensity of the quarter-spheres, user would be crushed by it.


Name: Human Body Shedding Technique
Rank: S
Type: Ninjutsu
Used For: Supplementary (Rebirth)
Element: -
Range: -
Duration: 1 post
Hand Seals/Charge up: -
Description: Used primarily after sustaining massive injury or as a means to elude a seemingly inescapable attack, this technique allows the user to materialise a new body — typically by regurgitating it from their mouth — in a manner that somewhat resembles how a snake sheds its skin. After emerging, the user's clothing and injuries are completely restored, with even amputated limbs being regenerated.
Weakness: As this is a highly advanced technique, it consumes a great amount of chakra. One can only use it up to three times per day. First use takes up 65 CP, second use takes up 70 CP, and third use takes up 80 CP. One does not get any chakra discounts from Ninjutsu mastery, either. After the third use, the user would be severely weakened and likely be unable to continue an actual battle - including having his or her Taijutsu/Weaponry stats reduced to Basic level.

Name: Sharingan Shisu (Copying Wheel Eye Hypnosis)
Rank: A
Type: Genjutsu
Used For: Offensive (Supplementary)
Element: ---
Range: ---
Duration: Until broken/canceled.
Hand Seals/Charge up: Eye contact.
Utilizing the Sharingan as a source of it's ability, this technique functions in one of two ways and is dependent on the situation it is used in. Both ways require eye contact to be established, but they differ in their usage, effectiveness, and overall strength. On it's most basic level, this technique can be used to influence the actions and decisions of an opponent, leaving them believing that the user is copying and using jutsu as a far quicker rate than the enemy can actually plan and react. Using it on an advanced level allows the user to influence an enemy on a far deeper level, accessing levels in their psyche that allows them to plant thoughts, memories, and ideas in their head with no recognition of any intrusion within their mind. Suggestions of this caliber last an entire thread unless broken.
Weakness: Requires Sharingan [Tomoe 3]. Eye contact must be established; can be broken easily via kai or pain if detected. With that being said, however, detecting the intrusion in itself is difficult. Finally, the advanced usage cannot be used in battle.

Name: Mystical Palm Technique
Rank: A
Type: Ijutsu
Element: None
Range: Short
Duration: Upkeep of B-ranked chakra per post
Hand Seals/Charge up: Modified Ox → Tiger
Description: This medical ninjutsu allows the user to speed up the body's natural healing process by sending chakra from their hands into a wound or afflicted body part. This allows the user to heal a patient without the need for medical equipment or surgery, making it very useful on the battlefield. It can be used to treat both external and internal injuries. It is vital to match the amount of chakra used to the severity of the affliction or injury. This requires a great amount of chakra control. Because of this, only a few highly skilled medical-nin are able to use this technique

Name: Earth Release: Earth Spear
Rank: B-rank
Type: Ninjutsu
Used For: Supplementary
Element: Earth Release
Range: Self
Duration: Lasting Jutsu Cost [B-20]
Hand Seals/Charge up: Snake
Description: The user flows chakra through all parts of their body causing it to become noticeably darker, which increases their defensive power to its utmost limits by making the skin as hard as diamond. Furthermore, the destructive power of physical attacks is increased, making this a great all-purpose technique. The amount of techniques that can break through the areas hardened by the Earth Spear are close to zero, excluding its undeniable weak point: Lightning Release ninjutsu. Shinobi with the earth release as a primary element along with mastery in Ninjutsu demonstrate the ability to use this to cover themselves partially (i.e. their hand and lower arm, and the side of his head) without using hand seals, which gives them a significant tactical advantage against ambushes.

Name: Chakra Chains
Rank: B
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: -
Range: 15 M
Duration: 1 Post/3 Post if Restrained
Hand Seals/Charge up:
Description: This technique molds the user's chakra into chains which emerge from their back. After materializing, they burrow into the ground before erupting out of it in a criss-cross fashion multiple times over the target, restraining them as they are held to the ground.

Name: Chakra Scalpel
Rank: C
Type: Ijutsu
Element: None
Range: Short
Duration: Upkeep of C-ranked chakra
Hand Seals/Charge up: Tiger → Horse → Rabbit → Rat → Dog
Description: This medical technique forms one's chakra into a small, sharp blade. This can then be used for highly accurate incisions necessary for surgeries and anatomical dissections. Unlike regular scalpels, the chakra scalpel can make cuts inside the body without actually creating an open wound, limiting the risks of an infection.
The chakra scalpel can also be used offensively, although it requires great precision to be effective. Because of this requirement, using the chakra scalpel offensively is highly unusual. In heated combat, even the greatest medical-nin won't be able to exert the precision needed to make fatal cuts, but it can still effectively cut muscle tissues and tendons, rendering the target immobile. Adding to the technique's blade like quality, it also appears to give the user an increased level of durability over their chakra clad hands.

Name: Earth Release: Hiding Like a Mole Technique
Rank: C-rank
Type: Ninjutsu
Used For: Supplementary
Element: Earth Release
Range: Contact w/ the Ground
Duration:  Upkeep of C-ranked chakra
Hand Seals/Charge up: None
Description: This technique changes earth into fine sand by channeling chakra into it, allowing the user to dig through it like a mole. This effect goes around the body (not just the hands), making it just large enough for a person to move through. The user can pinpoint where they are, despite being underground, by sensing the magnetic forces. They can also sense what is happening on the surface and use that information to launch a surprise attack on the enemy. One can also hide deep in the ground, escaping to a depth where the enemy can't reach. It also appears that after digging, the ground can be returned to its original state, leaving no trace of where the user entered the earth.

Name: Earth Release: Double Suicide Decapitation Technique
Rank: D-rank
Type: Ninjutsu
Used For: Supplementary
Element: Earth Release
Range: 10m
Duration: 1 Post
Hand Seals/Charge up: None
Description: This technique conceals the user underground and drags the object of their attack down into the earth, robbing them of their freedom. In addition, they can start another attack.

Name:Water Release: Hiding in Water Technique
Rank:D
Type:Nin
Element:Water
Range:Self
Duration: Maintainable
Hand Seals/Charge up: -
Description:The user blends in with water to be undetected by the enemy, similar to the Earth Release: Hiding in Rock Technique. It was shown that this technique is usable even in water as shallow as a puddle, as seen when the Demon Brothers used it to ambush Tazuna and his bodyguards. In the anime, a member of the Nokizaru Group also employed this technique during a mission to retrieve a scroll from Kumogakure shinobi. While leaving concealment, water simply appeared on the floor and rose up, revealing the user.

Name: Body Flicker Technique
Rank: D
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: N/a
Range: Up to 50 meters of your original position
Duration: 1 Post
Hand Seals/Charge up: Ram
Description: The Body Flicker Technique is a high-speed movement technique, allowing a ninja to move short to long distances at an almost untraceable speed. To an observer, it appears as if the user has teleported. A puff of smoke is occasionally used to disguise the user's movements. It is accomplished by using chakra to temporarily vitalise the body and move at extreme speeds. The amount of chakra required depends on the overall distance and elevation between the user and the intended destination. (May not attack immediately after or during its use. This applies to all techniques akin to this jutsu.)

Name: Transformation Technique
Rank: E-rank
Type: Ninjutsu
Used For: Supplementary
Element: None
Range: Self
Duration: Lasting Jutsu Cost [E-5]
Hand Seals/Charge up: Dog → Boar → Ram
Description: Given all the missions ninja are assigned to - battle, intelligence gathering, diversions - this is a priceless ninjutsu. It is typically used to change into people other than oneself, but one also has the ability to change into animals, plants, and even inanimate objects like weapons. This gives this technique an abundance of uses. The transformation of a skilled shinobi will be exactly like the genuine article, so it will be impossible to tell the two apart. On the other hand, a transformation performed by an inexperienced person will have obvious discrepancies. It will be impossible to deceive anyone with it. This is one of the most basic ninjutsu, as such most shinobi know how to perform it. The transformation technique is considered to be among the more difficult E-ranked techniques, since it requires constant emission of chakra while mentally maintaining the form. On top of that, the user would be, most likely, interacting with the environment. This puts mental strain on an inexperienced ninja. Thus the best way to determine if it is indeed a transformation is to cause this strain upon the user; though this is of course not always successful.

Name: Tree Climbing Practice
Rank: E-rank
Type: Ninjutsu
Used For: Supplementary
Element: None
Range: Self
Duration: Lasting Jutsu Cost [E-5]
Hand Seals/Charge up: None
Description: Tree Climbing Practice is a training method used to gain more skills with chakra control. This training involves focusing a fixed amount of chakra to the bottom of one's feet, and using that to climb a tree without using one's hands. If the stream of chakra is too weak, the user will lose their footing on the tree and fall off. If it is too strong, the user will be pushed away from the tree, causing the tree to break around the point of contact and the user will fall.

Name: Water Surface Walking Practice
Rank: E-rank
Type: Ninjutsu
Used For: Supplementary
Element: None
Range: Self
Duration: Lasting Jutsu Cost [E-5]
Hand Seals/Charge up: None
Description: This training method is used to gain better chakra control. To do this, the user has to be emitting a constant stream of chakra from the bottom of their feet and using the repellent force to walk across the water's surface. This technique is more difficult to master than the Tree Climbing Practice, because the amount of chakra that needs to be emitted changes constantly. It has also been shown that one can use their chakra to "skate" across the water surface, like an ice skater, instead of just walking or running. It is noted, that shinobi reach a state where they stand on water without even noticing it or basically even trying.

Name: Cliff Climbing Practice
Rank: E-rank
Type: Taijutsu
Used For: Supplementary
Element: None
Range: Self
Duration: Lasting Jutsu Cost [E-5]
Hand Seals/Charge up: None
Description: This is a training method which involves climbing a high or steep cliff using only one arm. It is meant to improve one's strength and discipline.

Name: Body Replacement Technique
Rank: E-rank
Type: Ninjutsu
Used For: Supplementary
Element: None
Range: Contact
Duration: 1 Post
Hand Seals/Charge up: Tiger → Boar → Ox → Dog → Snake
Description: With this technique, users replace their own body with some other object, generally with a block of wood, the moment an attack lands. This creates an optical illusion, making the enemy think the attack was successful. From this, the user can use the lapse in the enemy's attention to attack or flee from the battlefield. Explosive tags can be attached to the replacement for an added surprise. It's a basic ninjutsu even taught at the Academy, but it's a useful art that can be applied in variety of situations.
