The Apex Predator: Sagano "Saga" Edou Seishin

Kawarimi no Jutsu
Rank: E
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: -
Description: This jutsu lets the user quickly switch places with another nearby object, such as a plant (normally a section of a log), an animal, or even another person within reach, the moment an attack hits. This creates an optical illusion, making the enemy think the attack was successful. The user can then use this confusion to escape or launch a counter-attack. Exploding tags can be attached to the replacement for an added surprise. The anime has a number of other objects being used for this jutsu, such as a boulder, mud, a scarecrow, and even a large rolled-up carpet. These items are usually nowhere in sight, suggesting that they are merely gags meant to lighten up the situation and not an actual part of the jutsu. Additionally, the normal practice of switching places with a section of log is done in several places that have no such thing anywhere nearby.

Houshou [Crumbling Palm]
Rank: A
Type: Taijutsu
Element: Wind
Description: This technique is a signature and always involves concentrated chakra. His palm is thrust forward at the target. His most dangerous strike, a fatigued opponent may become incapacitated if this hits correctly, though not always. No matter what happens though, it is easily his most painful technique. Previous opponents will want to avoid it at all costs, earning a name so apropos because it is said to crumble anything it touches. It will be heralded by his hand glowing with chakra, with wisps of fluctuating air. This is because it is so saturated with energy that it becomes downright threatening, able to fracture bones dense as they are. Chakra converges to wind and compacts around his palm, swirling violently, noticeably increasing the pressure against his skin. When his palm comes into contact with a surface, the chakra becomes unstable, the coerced wind leaving external cuts on the target with the force alone causing internal damage.

Suppressed Chakra Expenditure
Rank: A
Type: Chakra Control
Element: None
Description: The most common reason that shinobi don't have as much longevity in battle as they should is because they cannot mold chakra to the best of their potential. Saga has circumvented this flaw by devoting almost as much time to manipulating and molding chakra as he did to physical discipline. From concentrating the minimum amount of chakra into its highest potency, Saga may cut down on the amount he expends. This also increases his overall durability when using physical techniques. This discipline does not extend to everything he does, however. When learning this ability, the focus has to be on a specific jutsu category; after that is mastered, the user may learn to utilize it on another. This is because different types of techniques have varied requirements. Taijutsu enhanced with chakra needs much more timing discipline than Genjutsu for example, which requires much better focus. Ninjutsu requires repetitive practice in large amounts. All types need a symmetrical balance when it comes to chakra, but getting to that point in the chosen category has different training methods.

Name: Rakanken [Arhat Fist]
Rank: B
Nature: Taijutsu
Element: Fuuton [Wind Release]
Range: Close [0—5 M]
Description:

This style focuses on the most simple attacks with incredible strength. It takes the path of least resistance, using the shortest maneuvers with the most emphasis on power in order to immobilize or even utterly break an opponent. Subi augments these various strikes with the Wind Release affinity in order to make up for the loss in speed from their clunky and charged nature. The wind manipulation itself is subtle, used to carry his musculature more effectively, and in a way makes the areas he focuses on lighter. When used to strike an opponent, the wind output can be felt alongside the intense pressure, giving away his chakra signature. It should be noted that Subi can use Rakanken without any element, just purely chakra. However, the consequence of this is that he loses the lightweight, more efficient flowing that his strikes have when accompanied by the wind, making them slower. Or at the very least, feeling slower, which can have an effect on his ebb and flow.

羅 This technique is a signature and always involves concentrated chakra. His palm is thrust forward at the target. His most dangerous strike, a fatigued opponent may become incapacitated if this hits correctly, though not always. No matter what happens though, it is easily his most painful technique. Previous opponents will want to avoid it at all costs. It will be heralded by his hand glowing with chakra, with wisps of fluctuating air. This is because it is so saturated with energy that it becomes downright threatening, able to fracture bones dense as they are. Chakra converges to wind and compacts around his palm, swirling violently, noticeably increasing the pressure against his skin. When his palm comes into contact with a surface, the chakra becomes unstable, the manipulated wind leaving external cuts on the target with the force alone causing internal damage.


漢 Subi heaves his elbow into the target with the full weight of his body. Because the elbow is the most dense bone, not a lot is needed for this to be effective or painful. This is often a countering move, since it is easy to duck away, get in close for it and move from the opponent in quick fashion. It is not his most-used, but it is among his quickest attacks. Plus it packs enough power in its own right to create a fight-decisive injury.


拳 Subi jumps up into the air and brings his legs together, sending his body down toward his target in a slanted vertical fashion. Since this technique utilizes his full weight, there is a large amount of impact. This technique badly damages the environment, and can be quite disturbing or startling to bystanders and potential opponents. If contact is made with a person, not only will they have to contend with the force of the strike, but that of being driven into the ground. However, if he misses his target, it makes it difficult for Subi to recover back to a standing position right away.


Name: Setsunai’Taba [ | Strangling Coil | ]
Rank: C
Range: Close-Mid Range (0-10m) | Supplementary
Jutsu Type: Akujutsu
Elemental Affinity: -
Clan: -
Description: This is an effective Akujutsu that is in some ways similar to the ability to summon hidden shadow snakes, and for that reason no hand-signs are required for this technique so long as only two whips are being created out from the backhands, as these can be controlled by Saga’s own motions instead of by the concentration of chakra manipulation in these whips. This technique forms tail-like whips from the blackened scales. These tendrils are similar to the chains Saga may wield in combat, having small black segments that link them all together with a larger, bladed tip. The bladed ends of these biological weapons can be coated in the same venom found in Saga's mouth. At most, Saga can forge four of these whips at the same time, though to control this many limits his concentration to just this technique. These whips can cut, poison, strangle, grapple, bind, or even lift the opponent. Furthermore, the whips can emerge from nearly any part of Saga's body; though most commonly emerge from Saga's spin or backhands. The skin around were these whips protrude becomes red with discomfort.

Secret Hokage Art: Chakra Reversal
Rank: [Situational Dependent, D-S]
Range: Close to Mid
Jutsu Type: Ninjutsu
Elemental Affinity: -
Clan: -
Note: Secret Art learned from a special Mizukage scroll.
Description: A secret art guarded by every Mizukage of Kiri. This jutsu was last used by the Third Hokage against Orochimaru's dangerous "Edo Tensei" technique to cancel the summoning of the Fourth Hokage. After being adopted as as a jutsu in Kirigakure, Saga, the Shindaime Mizukage, gave access to this jutsu to Hiro for safe keeping if anything were ever to happen to Saga. After memorizing it, he destroyed the scroll and swore himself to secrecy. After performing handseals, the user is able to cancel any jutsu an enemy uses, including kekkei genkai abilities, by expending an equal amount of chakra. An A-rank jutsu would take A-rank chakra, B-rank would take B-rank, and so on. This jutsu does not work on Medical Jutsu or on any "status shift" jutsu (ex: Opening the Gates, activating a doujutsu, etc.)

The workings of the jutsu are somewhat complex. The user expends their own chakra to force the target's chakra back to its original state and position. This means that even physical effects of an elemental release (ex. an earth ditch being formed) will be reversed as the chakra will undo what it has done. The obvious drawback of the function of this jutsu, however, is that while the jutsu is reversed, the target also regains the expended chakra, as it is being replaced back into their system. Unfortunately, the user expends chakra simultaneously and does not recover it. This could potentially mean that the target could simply activate the jutsu a second time, hoping that the user will not have enough chakra or not be willing to expend the chakra to cancel it a second time. Because of this flaw, this jutsu should only be used as a last resort or if the situation can change dramatically enough to warrant its use. At Kage//S-Rank level, Saga is only able to cancel up to S-ranked jutsu at the cost of an S-ranked jutsu.


Name: Seken no Itami (World of Pain)
Rank: A Rank
Range: Medium(5-10meters), Far (10meters+)
Jutsu Type: Genjutsu
Elemental Affinity: None
Clan: None
Description: This Genjutsu stops time momentarily after activation and quickly alters reality around the enemy, Once they are caught within this serene technique, the enemy will see the world in reds, purples and blacks, shades of the deepest anger and pain. Those feelings, those terrible thoughts burst forth like an inferno inside of a garden. Pain, anguish, torment and anger rage over the enemy as their body begins to suffer. Pain grabs them and shakes, their nerves bursting with horrible sensation. At the same time, a sense of drowning, fluid in the lungs, breath never drawing enough air, all overwhelm them like daggers in the gut. Unable to move or hardly suffer through this torture the enemy will be forced to partake in this mindless world of madness, feeling only the horrors until the technique is released. Though it does not have a set time frame, this technique (unless it is broken) will last until the user is 30 meters (roughly 100 feet) away from the enemy, at which time they will then be able to break away from the technique. But while they are still within that range it will be very difficult to do.

Name: Chikaku Omoi Seichuu (Near Mind Control)
Rank: A Rank
Range: Medium(5-10meters), Far (10meters+)
Jutsu Type: Genjutsu
Elemental Affinity: None
Clan: None
Description: This technique is a very unique one with an equally unique purpose. Activated first and then maintained via a focusing sign, this technique can be used for long periods of time up to a whole hour, as long as the user is within 30 meters (roughly 100 feet) of the target. Basically, this technique continues a very subtle illusion that can be altered slightly at demand. For example, the illusion would be cast and the enemy would be facing the user, now say the enemy attacks. The user would manipulate the illusion to have attacks being used in his defence, to have his body move to the side or even come back to life. This essentially allows the user to maintain close range combat without taking any direct damage for as long as he can maintain focus on his illusion and his own body. The more targets ensnared in this technique, the more the illusion costs to maintain, increasing exponentially. Therefore, it is more useful to use the technique against one enemy, as the technique becomes much harder to use due to the focus needed and the chakra required to maintain the jutsu. If the user is struck during this technique the illusion will come to an end. Also, the mental backlash will most likely be enough to down the user, meaning they will be helpless for a few seconds while they recover.

Giji Shunshin Kison no Jutsu [False Body Flicker Assassination Technique]
Rank: C.
Range: Close to Mid.
Jutsu Type: Genjutsu.
Elemental Affinity: -
Clan: -
Description: A Genjutsu technique that creates the illusion of a flawless clone that suddenly disappears and reappears in an instant behind the target with a weapon of some sort to the throat of the user. Since this is an illusion it of course poses no threat to the target but because of the sudden and threatening nature of the technique few even bother to consider this as it takes a special person to gamble with their life. This technique is primarily used to force the target or adversary into making mistakes they usually wouldn’t in a normal situation.

Name: Daichikousaku —[Ninja Art: Earth Maneuvering]
Rank: C
Nature: Ninjutsu
Element: Doton [Earth Release]
Range: Supplementary
Description: This allows the user to transmogrify parts of their body in order to combine into the earthen substances beneath them. This can be anything from their legs, an arm, or even their entire body in order to avoid an attack. Once underground, they can further manipulate the mineralized compounds that surround the changed parts of their body, allowing them to separate the resistance within their movements while concealed in order to reach new heights in speed that would be impossible to achieve while not attuned with these substances. In short time, they can appear behind an opponent to counterattack them. Most of the time, Subi changes mostly his feet and shins in order to capitalize on the change in velocity that wouldn’t have came from simply running. Because chakra is involved to remove this friction, it can be used as a catalyst to propel the user forward in order to reach their intended destination in shorter time. The user may also temporarily alter objects or bodyparts of lesser size, pulling them underneath the earth as well. Because the opponent would be unable to maneuver, force is required.

Name: Arijigoku no Jutsu —[Earth Release: Antlion Technique]
Rank: C
Nature: Ninjutsu
Element: Doton [Earth Release]
Range: All Ranges
Description:This technique wqill cause the ground and everything on and around it to be sucked inwards, toward the middle of a large pit. It is named after the method in which an antlion uses to catch their prey. Upon being dragged into the center of the construct, the victim will then be plunged underground. There the victim, depending on how deep the user causes them to sink, will be trapped or possibly even suffocated. The range is determined by the output of chakra.

Name: Doton: Doryuu Heki (Earth Release: Earth Style Wall)
Rank: B Rank
Range: Close(0-5meters)
Jutsu Type: Ninjutsu
Elemental Affinity: Doton (Earth)
Clan: None
Description:After forming a series of handsigns, this technique becomes activated. They can either spew mud on the ground or focus the stuff at their feet. The technique deals with manipulating the earth in an area to form a large mud and stone wall before them to defend them from incoming attacks. Once the hand seals are complete, a large earthen wall will rise before them and grow so that it completely protects their front side. In the case of Saga, the wall has a very prominent face built into it, that of the Saga himself. Looming over the wall he looks out at the battlefield. It is more of an influence than anything else, but the face may one day serve another purpose. The wall is no more than 20 feet tall.

Name: Doton: Kujo Jakunen (Earth Release: Desolate Destruction)
Rank: A Rank
Range: Far (10meters+)
Jutsu Type: Ninjutsu
Elemental Affinity: Doton (Earth)
Clan: None
Description: This technique is one that requires the essence of the Saga’s Earth powers in order to be used. The technique involves no handsigns. After focusing earth chakra into a hand the user will slam it down and thin lines will be drawn along the ground out to 50 meters, with the Saga being at the center of the blast. Suddenly, a ring of earth will crack within this pattern and earth will either rise or fall up to 20 feet, and that process will be repeated every 10 meters of so until the entire field around the user has been mixed and jumbled with different levels of earth chakra, some high and some low, the field now one mess of stone and soil. This makes the field incredible difficult to traverse on, having no form or function to the landscape, a complete chasm of chaos before the enemy. This technique is meant to control the battlefield for both good and bad, changing the entire dynamic of the fight in one move.

Name: Boufuu Oshiken :: [Gale Pressure Fist]
Rank: B-Rank
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Wind
Range: Close [0-5m]
Clan: -
Description: Boufuu Oshiken :: [Gale Pressure Fist] is a technique utilizing the wind element. First, the shinobi utilizing this technique will perform a hand sign that releases the chakra within their body. They will then pool the chakra into the palm of one or both of their hands, and then pour their own wind natured chhakra into the mix. The user will then pressurize the wind, compacting it to make the force truly incredible. When the user is ready to unleash the attack, they will stop pressurizing the air and unleash it in one, intense burst that has the power to shatter bones on direct contact. However, this technique cannot be thrown and must be thrust forward like a punch towards their opponent. One has to be careful that the attack is not redirected, for the blow back properties can prove to be dire for the one utilizing this technique.

Name: Boufuu Oshibenso :: [Gale Pressure Defense]
Rank: B-Rank
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Wind
Range: Close [0-5m]
Clan: -
Description: Boufuu Oshibenso :: [Gale Pressure Defense] is a technique utilizing the Wind element. It is a defensive technique that allows the user to expel a pressurized gust of air from their body to repel attacks and techniques. The gust of air holds the cutting properties as well as the blunt properties of concussive wind. To perform the technique, the user will perform two hand seals to release the chakra within his body. He will then gather a pressurized film of air around his entire person through the manipulation of his Wind natured chakra. By then releasing the film in an instant, a great concussive blast will expel from the user for about five meters in every direction before dissipating. The weakness in this technique, however, as that should a mass hold enough weight it cannot be repelled by the concussive blast [Ex. A building or incredibly large boulder cannot be repelled by the technique]. The technique also lacks any sort of control of the chakra being forced out of the body, and could prove to be a costly expenditure of power if used in quick succession.

Name: Bouhuu Oshihanma :: [Gale Pressure Hammer]
Rank: B-Rank
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Wind
Range: Mid [0-10m]
Clan: -
Description: Bouhuu Oshihanma :: [Gale Pressure Hammer] is a technique that utilizes the great concussive forces of the Wind element. It is an offensive jutsu that allows the user create a great gale of pressurized wind to fall on their opponent, not only dealing cutting damage but great blunt damage at the same time. To utilize the technique, the user will perform two hand seals to release the chakra within his body. He will then gather a pressurized vortex of hair into his palm much like the technique Boufuu Oshiken :: [Gale Pressure Fist]. However, the uses of the pressurized vortex is different. By leaping above the opponent, the user of this technique can aim to vortex and release the forces pressurizing the air to create a pillar of swirling, concussive air to expel from their hand towards their opponent. Should the opponent become trapped inside, they will suffer from severe cuts and blunt trauma. However, the accuracy of the technique is very low and must be used strategically to be placed in a position that allows for the best use.

Name: Boufuu Oshikadou :: [Gale Pressure Vortex]
Rank: B-Rank
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Wind
Range: Mid [0-10m]
Clan: -
Description: Boufuu Oshikadou :: [Gale Pressure Vortex] is a technique that utilizes a pressurized form of air through art of Fuuton :: [Wind Release]. By pressurizing the air in a certain area and then giving it a centripetal mobility, the user of the technique can create a great vortex of air that sucks objects and opponents into should they not have the proper grounding. To perform the technique, the user will perform two hand seals to release the chakra within his body. He will then gather a pressurized vortex of hair into his palm much like the technique Boufuu Oshiken :: [Gale Pressure Fist]. However, the difference in this technique lies within the controlling of the pressurized air as opposed to the releasing of it as in the technique's sister techniques. By placing the ball of pressurized air in a given area and then spin it, the user will create a powerful vortex of air in that given area. The vortex has the strongest powers of suction from about a ten meter radius; any farther than that will prove to be useless. The shinobi utilizing this technique will usually launch the pressurized air at an area or opponent so as not to be trapped within their own technique and to give it the rotating qualities it needs to successfully gain its vortex-like nature. The greatest weakness in this technique is the proximity the target must fall into to be trapped by the technique and the possibility of trapping oneself within it. The vortex can be dissipated at any time through the use of a release hand seal by the user.

Name: Fuuton: Hageshii Daitoppa [Wind Release: Violent Great Breakthrough]
Rank: B-Rank
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Wind
Range: Mid [0-10m]
Clan: -
Description: This technique creates a large explosion of wind from the user’s location, easily leveling everything in its path. This is accomplished by literally inhaling chakra and congealing it in the user’s lungs, creating an expanse of air that combines itself with the oxygen that surrounds them into an immense, destructive gust. This technique is pliable to other elements as well, such as fire, and may be used in conjunction with these elements in order to increase the strength and destructive ability of the release. As it is naturally strong against weapon and lightning-based techniques, it can make such offenses harmless.

Name: Dappida
Rank: C
Range: Close Range (0-5m) | Supplementary
Jutsu Type: Akujutsu
Elemental Affinity: -
Clan: -
Description: This is a versatile Akujutsu that results in the formation of slender blades that protrude out from Saga's body. The blades are no thicker then an average katana, being black in appearance, though usually red along were a blood-drip would be found. To perform this technique no hand-signs are required for this technique so long as Saga can provide a high sense of concentration in performing this move and keeps these blades localized around the hands. These blades are incredible dense being as strong as steel in strength. Most commonly, these blades protrude from the knuckles in pairs of threes, usually being roughly a foot in length. On average, unless greater amounts of chakra are added to this techniques, the blades can be no longer then this. However, being so skilled in his high rank, Saga is not limited to only forming these blades at the knuckles, being able to protrude them from any part of his body. The skin around were these blades protrude becomes red with discomfort.


Name: Cognitive Dissonance
Rank: B
Nature: Genjutsu
Element: -
Range: 10-15
Description: A fairly useful and interesting genjutsu that affects one's cognitive abilities and directly targets the brain. By interrupting the way that the brain receives and transmits information from one neuron to the next, the user can consequently rewrite the way the target's brain handles such information. By switching the roles of words and actions, they can instantly confuse the enemy by making their body like a puzzle that is extremely difficult to figure out. Any action that the target wishes to perform can no longer be done from thought and impulse alone, but by way of words. And any word that is to be spoken comes directly from thinking of it. In other words, the way the target speaks and performs actions is re versed as far as the process goes. This can be quite confusing, though it won't necessarily hinder anyone for very long.

Name: Kazehimei (Wind Scream)
Rank: S Rank
Range: Supplementary, Close (0-5meters), Medium (5-10meters), Far(10meters+)
Jutsu Type: Ninjutsu
Elemental Affinity: Wind
Clan: None
Description:This is Saga's greatest Jutsu in his own opinion, and the one that has done more for him than any other. It isn’t known if it could even be taught. This Jutsu is the basis of all his skill and he credits his ability to it. Starting out as the culmination of a young Saga’s abilities, it was developed so that Saga could use the “Kaze no Yaiba” at any time with any part of his body without handsigns or concentration. Saga first create a technique that after forming the needed handsigns, he would be given a brief amount of time during which his body would form wind chakra only instead of normal chakra, this removed his need to focus on creating the substance. Using this ideal, Saga learned to “flip the switch” in his mind and instantaneously create wind chakra without focusing. This Jutsu is now activated by mere thought, as if switching a gear in Saga's mind. It works by changing the creation of chakra from "simple" chakra to wind chakra. In effect causing Saga to create Wind chakra automatically when he deems fit. Also, it can switch a given amount of already produced normal chakra into Wind chakra.

As Wind-affiliated chakra cannot be stored Saga must quickly release this chakra and deactivate the move. Later in his life however, Saga was able to store portions of the Wind Chakra inside his body to create even more powerful techniques (of which only three exist). Before, the move was limited to the "Kaze no Yaiba" and it allowed him to use that deadly move at any time by moving his body, however it can now encompass all of Saga’s wind type moves. The result is, in an instant Saga can release any of his wind attacks of from any point on his body, or from his mouth. Then he may switch back to normal chakra with all this happening instantaneously inside his body at the cost of stamina alone. So, Saga could breath in air and release any of his wind moves without handsigns as if he were breathing normally.

The Wind Scream also allows him to create a moving barrier around him to block ranged attacks. Over the course of his training Saga has learned how to better manipulate this ability, and took it from its own technique down to a simple addition. By focusing Wind Chakra in his hand and moving it, Saga releases Wind Chakra around him and it circulates, creating an effective, transient shield. He can choose to exude the chakra from his mouth and manipulate it to cover him like a barrier, effectively taking more chakra and concentration.

The technique is truly amazing. With only a mental switch Saga will turn his chakra into wind chakra and create some of the many known techniques that have been entitled “Wind Scream Style”. Then by storing some inside of his body he can create the Fuujin Collection of Jutsu for extremely powerful wind techniques. However, this technique is not perfect, in fact at this point some of Saga’s chakra is always turning into wind chakra and being wasted away around him as simply wind. This does allow him to use some of his most potent Jutsu however, though he must physically stop the flow in order to end the wind forming around him. So, really this technique has taken its toll on the man, who for all means would never have to worry about using chakra. Now, this ability has given him a defined limit, which really removes his greatest strength. However, he still has such a large amount of chakra that the amount is higher than that of Naruto’s or Kisame’s.

Description: “Kaze no Yaiba” is a Ninjutsu technique utilized by the Saga. After forming the needed hand seal, a cutting whirlwind will envelop his opponent and cut them to pieces. Unlike a real sword which can face resistance, the wind blade will be able to slice with little difficulty. This move has become the basis of Saga's Ninjutsu style, and is the favorite move of the young Hokage. It is and has been his most used technique since it was taught to him at a young age during his incarceration as an experiment. Everything he has created has come from this one Jutsu, and he owes it everything. Of course, as known he can use this technique in an instant with any part of his body, something he usues frequently.

Description: The Kaze no Yaiba” is the Ninjutsu technique that made our hero Saga famous. After forming the needed hand seal, a cutting whirlwind will envelop his opponent and cut them to pieces; or at least that was the intent. The sheer skill Saga developed with the technique and the style he built around the Jutsu removed his need for concentration, opening up new doors. Unlike a real sword which can face resistance, the wind blade will be able to slice with little difficulty. This move had become the basis of Saga's Ninjutsu style, and is the favorite move of the young Hokage. It is and has been his most used technique since it was taught to him at a young age during his incarceration as an experiment. Everything he has created has come from this one Jutsu, and he owes it everything. Of course, as known he can use this technique in an instant with any part of his body, something he uses frequently. But, because of this, Saga was fortunate enough to create his own version. Keeping with his tradition of recreating older techniques, Saga formed his own Wind Blade. Still, usable throughout his whole body, this blade is much sharper than those of the original. With a slicing motion of his body the technique will be launched up to 30 feet from his current location, but that is not the strongest asset. Besides the increase in range, S’s agablade of wind has a kink in it make it appear much like a dart that explodes outward on contact, much like a hollow-point. The downside is drain of this technique. Saga’s attack takes much more chakra than a regular “Wind Blade”, meaning he cannot use them continuously like the previous. After about 8 of these attacks Saga will no longer have enough chakra to use anymore. However, each one of these is especially lethal, and can penetrate barriers below its skill level.

Description: The Wind Scream also allows him to create a moving barrier around him to block ranged attacks. Over the course of his training Saga has learned how to better manipulate this ability, and took it from its own technique down to a simple addition. By focusing Wind Chakra in his hand and moving it, Saga releases Wind Chakra around him and it circulates, creating an effective, transient shield. He can choose to exude the chakra from his mouth and manipulate it to cover him like a barrier, effectively taking more chakra and concentration. This is simply the technique that Saga has attributed to this ability. It requires only that he drag his hands, laden in wind chakra across his body to create a transient shield. He can in fact surround his body by glowing the chakra from his mouth or spinning much like the Hyuuga. This technique is excellent against weapons and projectiles, but does serve against low level Ninjutsu outside of the fire element. The stable defensive Jutsu in Saga’s short list, he uses it when he deems fit. The main drawback is the focus; Saga is not able to perform other wind techniques when using this, meaning he must stop all other techniques in order to defend himself in this manner.

Name: Fukakouryoku [ | Act of God | ]
Rank: S
Range: Close-Far Range (0-500m)
Jutsu Type: Akujutsu
Elemental Affinity: -
Clan: -
Description: This is the most powerful of any technique that Saga has learned, and is the peak of Akujutsu abilities. This technique contains immense power, but at a deadly price, for this technique cannot be performed without the sacrifice of life. For this technique, Saga must center his chakra within him, using nearly the full amount of chakra in order to perform this technique. Being that it takes time to gather this chakra, this technique does not take effect until this post after it is begun, and for the full length of this charge stage Saga must remain motionless, his hands held in a clutched towards his heart, the center of his chakra. When ready, Saga’s arm will part, sending out a visible blast of chakra in all directions that will form a massive dome across the already as it reaches out the full range of this technique. Everything within this field is effected, and there is no control over this that prevents someone within this dome from being affected.

Kousei [ | Rebirth | ]
This is the first possible outcome for this technique, and when this is activated, the dome that forms will be a white one. This technique revives everyone that has died within the field of effect so long as they have not been dead for longer then 24 [IC] hours. The bodies of these people will be fully restored, as will the wounds of living people within the field that are not being resurrected. However, being that this technique has no control over whom it affects, even opponents will be restored by this technique. The sacrifice for this technique is a human life, one that, once sacrificed, cannot be resurrected by any means, or ever again accessed in either the physical or spiritual realm. A willing participant may be substituted for Saga’s life in the case of resurrection, but this cannot be an NPC. If no one has come forth as a substitute, this technique will claim Saga’s own life. However, if Saga is not the one sacrificed, he will be placed within a coma that will last a fully eight [IC] weeks.

This is the second possible outcome for this technique, and when this is activated the dome that forms will be a black one. This technique is the reverse of the first possible outcome, as the technique kills everyone within the field of effect, instantly killing all targets as the dome passes over them in the blink of an eye, so that there is not even pain. I this technique is used, the sacrificed life will be Saga, who will never again be able to be revived, and will pass from existence in both the physical and spiritual realm.

Description: This is a advanced Akujutsu that was originally intended to be used alongside the Feng Huo Lun, Wind and Fire Wheels. This technique works similar to the sand manipulation of the Shukaku host in that it involves more chakra control within an element of a demon. However, the technique was actually inspired by a former wind technique that Saga possessed, known as the Rotating Shuriken. To begin this technique the Saga will first create the Feng Huo Lun blades from his chakra. They will be coated in the bluish white flame of the Demon's Gape, and while the blades will still be visible through this translucent ghostly flame, they will become eerie in appearance. The flame itself is able to burn those it comes in contact with, but since it does not extend far past the metal of the blades, the cutting strength of the weapons is not distracted from. On its own, the Demon's Gape does not possess the needed qualities to make these bladed wheels spin as the fuuton nature of Ryuu's past did, and so if thrown with just the Demon's Gape the blades will travel in a normal path, and the relative chakra cost of this technique will decrease to the level of a D-ranked technique. However, the main part of this technique is not the ghostly flames, but the manipulation of Saga's own soul. While the Demon's Gape coats the outside of the flames, the dark chakra of is channeled into the blades themselves along with temporary fragments of Saga's own soul. With his souls within the blade, Saga is able to control the paths these rapidly spinning blades in much of the same way that he is able to control the swords that have been infused with the power of the Demon's Gape. To control these blades, Saga must direct him with his hands, much like the Shukaku host directs the sand he/she manipulates. This prevents Saga from forming hand-signs when this technique is active, other then the one hand-sign that is needed in order to cause the splitting of the blades. Once unleashed, the blades will appear as bright bluish white spinning disc that possess amazing cutting abilities from the rapidness of the spinning momentum. Furthermore, Saga is able to command the chakra of the Demon's Gape within the blades to split chakra from them. This creates multiple equal sized discs composed of Demon's Gape chakra and the Demon's Gape flame. While these division do not possess the same cutting strength as the truly physical blades, only have a relative strength of a half inch cut, this does allow for Safa to potentially overwhelm the opponent with immense power from the mini disc, imploding with a burst of chakra. Only doing minor damage enough for Saga to capitalize. To split the blades removes some of the base Demon's Gape chakra within the physical blades themselves, and so the number of discs that can be created is limited. In a single use, each blade could only spawn a maximum of fifty discs. However, the more discs that are split from the original blades, the weaker each disc becomes, eventually only possesses a burning nature to the target while presenting no cutting nature whatsoever. Discs that are composed entirely of the Demon's Gape chakra disperse when a direct hit is landed, sending a ripple of chaotic spiritual energy into the target that destroys some chakra through the removal of spiritual energy from the target. However, it takes roughly three discs to equal a typical C-ranked level amount of chakra, and even when the spiritual energy is removed from the target, no physical energy is deprived, thus not distracting from such things as physical movement and taijutsu. While this technique, if used to create multiple discs, is extremely taxing to Saga's concentration, the main downside of the technique is that Saga must make contact again with his Feng Hou Lun chakra blades in order to re-assimilate the fragment of his soul that had been channeled into them. If this is not done, either because the blades were destroyed or he was prevented from grasping onto them, then the fragments of soul will be lost to Saga, and he will suffer the complexities of an incomplete soul that once plagued him. These complexities affect his consciousness to result in dementia.
