Name: Kawarimi no Jutsu - Body Substitution Technique
Type: Ninjutsu
Rank: E (Basic)
Requirements: None
Description: Kawarimi no Jutsu is a basic Ninjutsu technique. When in danger the ninja will quickly substitute themself with another nearby object. This can be a block of wood or even another person. This allows the ninja to quickly flee and hide while the original object takes the brunt of their opponents attack. Naturally, it won't work with another person unless their skill gap is enormous, and the object to replace oneself with must be close in size and weight to the ninja themselves. This technique must be set up a little ahead when fighting skilled opponents, otherwise, you may end up getting struck because you wouldn't have enough time to use it.

Name: Henge no Jutsu - Transformation Technique
Type: Ninjutsu
Rank: E (Basic)
Requirements: None
Description: Henge no Jutsu is a ninjutsu technique which every ninja learns at the Ninja Academy. Henge allows the ninja to transform themselves into any person or object. This allows the ninja to move with stealth or to trick their opponents. However, it does not grant one the properties of said objects or skills of that person, meaning turning into a weapon will not allow you to cut an opponent and turning into a dog will not give you a great sense of smell.
This technique can also be used in conjunction with someone, who may a person, a pet or a summoning creature, in which case it is called Konbi Henge (Combination Transformation). However, its principles remain the same.

Name: Bunshin no Jutsu - Clone Technique
Type: Ninjutsu
Rank: E (Basic)
Requirements: None
Description: Bunshin no Jutsu is a Ninjutsu technique which every ninja learns at the Ninja Academy. The Bunshin technique creates a copy of the ninja without substance. The copy resembles the ninja in every way. This clone can function as a distraction or as means to confuse one's opponent. As soon the Bunshin gets attacked or comes into contact with an opponent, it will disperse.

Basic Ninjutsu
Name: Kai - Release
Type: Ninjutsu
Rank: D
Requirements: None
Description: A very useful technique that dispels or prevents the effects of genjutsu in its early stages. To perform it, the user only needs to hold their hands in a tiger hand seal and channel some chakra into it. A lower-level genjutsu will be dispelled without any harm to the user. This can also be done on someone else, in which case the user must touch them before releasing the technique. However, it is a low-level ninja skill, as there are more effective ways of countering genjutsu. This will only dispel genjutsu of B-rank or below.

Name: Shunshin no Jutsu - Body Flicker Technique
Type: Ninjutsu
Rank: D
Requirements: None
Description: Shunshin no Jutsu is a basic Ninjutsu technique. The ninja will appear and disappear in an instant, allowing them to retreat or attack suddenly. To facilitate the movement the ninja will often use nearby elements such as mist, sand or leaves to mask their appearance or disappearance. While it may seem like the user simply appeared or disappeared, the technique is actually a momentary increase in movement speed towards a set location.

Name: Kinobori no Waza - Act of Tree Climbing
Type: Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Requirements: None
Description: A skill that every self-respecting shinobi must have. It is based on concentrating chakra to the soles of one's feet and using it to stick to objects, which would allow one to walk on vertical surfaces and even upside down. This is also often used as chakra control training, since the soles of the feet are said to be the hardest place to control your chakra.

Name: Kanashibari no Jutsu - Temporary Body Paralysis Technique
Type: Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Requirements: None
Description: This is a rather basic technique that does not require any hand seals to be used. Ideally, it temporarily paralyzes a number of targets. However, this is not likely to work on strong opponents, unless they are considerably weaker than the user themselves.

Name: Gyorai Shin - Torpedo Needle
Type: Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Requirements: A bunch of senbon or similar weapons
Description: A trap ninjutsu. Using chakra, a shinobi can plant a number of senbon or similar small piercing weapons into the ground and make them sink into it, hiding them from sight. When the opponent steps into the area, the user can make some of the senbon quickly emerge, effectively nailing the unfortunate victim to the ground, and then launch the remaining at the enemy, potentially dealing extreme damage.

Name: Suimen Hokou no Waza - Act of Water Surface Walking
Type: Ninjutsu
Rank: B
Requirements: Kinobori
Description: A more advanced technique than Kinobori, it allows one to walk on water or other similar liquid or amorphous objects. It is used in a similar fashion to its predecessor, but the shinobi must also release a constant flow of chakra into the water to keep themselves on its surface. It is often used as advanced chakra control training, since it takes the same basic concept as tree climbing technique and kicks it up a notch.

Earth Ninjutsu
Name: Doton: Moguragakure no Jutsu - Mole Hiding Technique
Type: Ninjutsu
Rank: D
Requirements: None
Description: This earth element ninjutsu lets the user hide underground for extended periods of time. A shinobi using this technique can also move about, which may allow for an escape, surprise attack or something else. However, a skilled opponent may be able to detect the user by sound, vibrations or other, less conventional means.

Name: Doton: Doryuu Taiga - Earth Flow River
Type: Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Requirements: None
Description: This technique creates a large flow of mud. The user will form the required hand seals and a thick layer of mud will form in a desired location. It will then start flowing in one direction, like a river, drawing any opponent caught in it with the flow. It isn't very powerful, but can be useful to delay an opponent.

Name: Doton: Shinjuu Zanshu no Jutsu - Double Suicide Decapitation Technique
Type: Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Requirements: None
Description: A ninjutsu used to trap the opponent in the ground. The user must first get underground and directly below the target, after which they will pull the enemy into the ground so that only their head remains overground as they emerge on the surface. The collapsing ground will effectively block the victim's movement as they fall into the hole, so it will take them some time to escape, if they are able to on their own at all. This jutsu can be used to pull an opponent underground completely, but in that case a firm layer of earth or rock will not be created around the target's body and they will be able to escape much easier.

Name: Doton: Doton Kekkai: Dorou Doumu - Earth Barrier: Earth Dome Prison
Type: Ninjutsu
Rank: A
Requirements: None
Description: A very powerful technique that does not require hand seals to be used. The user will strike the ground with their hands and a mass of rock will rise and form a dome around a number of target enemies. They will then put their hands on the dome and feed it chakra to make it stronger and repairing any damage done to it. This ninjutsu not only traps enemies, but also drains their chakra rather quickly if they are caught inside. A strong enough attack can break through the dome, but since their own chakra is being used against them, the victims of this technique are at a severe disadvantage.

Genjutsu
Name: Kokohi no Jutsu - False Place Technique
Type: Genjutsu - visual
Rank: D
Requirements: None
Description: This simple illusionary technique changes the appearance of a nearby object slightly, for example, it can make small objects invisible, change the text on something or make some object have slightly different shape. The object will regain its original appearance after the jutsu is released, dispelled or, in case it changed the shape or visibility of an object, touched on purpose.

Name: Genjutsu Interrogation Technique
Type: Genjutsu - other
Rank: B
Requirements: None
Description: This genjutsu's effects can be described as pretty close to those of truth serum and it is used in interrogation. The target must first be immobilized somehow, and then the ninja can use this technique by forming several hand seals and putting thier hand on the target's head. Ideally, this technique will confuse the target's mind and make them give away information when asked about it. However, this technique can be resisted without any special means, by willpower alone.

Taijutsu
Name: Kage Buyou - Shadow Dance
Type: Taijutsu
Rank: C
Requirements: None
Description: This taijutsu technique is utilized to get behind your opponent in mid-air. The user would usually kick their opponent upward from a low position, launching them into the air, and follow them using this jutsu. They will appear right behind the target, repeating their position like a shadow. From there, a number of attack options are presented to the user.

Name: Nawanuke no Jutsu - Escaping Skill
Type: Taijutsu
Rank: D
Requirements: None
Description: A very basic skill, without which a shinobi would become the laughing stock of the village. It allows them to escape ropes and similar simple restraints. However, advanced knots and heavier restraints than a simple rope may be too much for a basic skill like this to handle.

Ijutsu
Name: Shousen Jutsu - Mystical Hand Technique
Type: Ijutsu
Rank: C/A/S
Requirements: None
Description: This technique is the very basis of medical ninjutsu as it is. Concentrating chakra to their hands and putting them against the patient, the medical shinobi will heal them. Of course, the body does not just magically restore itself under the effect of their chakra, but they do use their chakra to sew up wounds, heal illness, improve blood flow, negate poison and boost tissue regeneration a lot - in other words, everything that deals with medicine. Naturally, this technique is more effective when used by a medic with more skill
Note: You only need to make a number of posts equal to the difference between learning the next level and your current level of this technique for your rank. However, you may skip a lower level if your rank/skill allows you to

 “I don’t know much about my family. Father said that my mother died when I was born; he reminded all of the time. We lived around Konohagakure- hm? Yes, literally; we travelled nomads around the village. I had always wanted to go inside, but he would always say, “Kou-“, he called me ‘Kou’, because he said I have a very metallic air to my personality. Hm? No, I don’t get it. … But one should always write nicknames after their first name. Hm? I learned that from my father; he always said, “Kou, they will teach you things, and then use your knowledge until you are dead. I will teach you those same things, and let you live your life.” He enjoyed being poetic. He taught me anatomy, sciences, philosophies, and art, and once I had learned all of those subjects that he could offer, he began to instruct me in the art of the shinobi. He taught me how to use weapons. He showed me what hand signs looked like, and though he did not teach me any justu, he informed me of numerous ways to combat such techniques. Sometimes he would use genjutsu when I was caught off-guard, and I would spend the entire day trying to escape. He was a better teacher than a father; I learned to use his knowledge for my own survival when he could not find food enough for two. Anyway, he told me this morning that I was to go into the village and bring the shinobi of Konoha to the tree that he would wait at just outside of city limits. “It is important, your life depends upon it,” he said. So I had two follow me, whom I think were of Chunin qualifications. … Oh, Jonin? That’s worse. Hm? Because when I got back to the waiting spot, a letter was there. I can’t read Kanji, so I asked the shinobi to read it aloud. The words sounded just like something my father would say; “Take him, feed him, love him, need him, forget I’ve defected, and keep him protected. “ And then there was a name, one that the shinobi would not tell me. … Yes, the two shinobi responded in the same manner. … So my father is a missing-nin? … No, I have told you all that I know. … Thank you, sir.

“These were the words I had spoken during my interrogation. They ring in my head right now, all alone in the hollows of my thoughts. I was told that you were a ninja who served next to his wife, and then one day she was found dead in her home, murdered in her sleep. Everyone suspected you, so you disappeared. They had been after you for nine years, twelve years now, and you had been just outside of your previous home. But that isn’t my point. My point to this writing is to thank you; you have given me knowledge, you have showed my suffering, and you have given me the drive I needed to grow. I will become the strongest tracker in the world, and I will hunt you down to the end of time.”

-Suzuwa, Tetsu Kou

His father was once a Konoha shinobi alongside his wife. She gave birth to Tetsu a year before she died. When she was murdered in her sleep, he was initially suspected, so he took Tetsu with him and escaped Konoha, becoming a missing-nin. He hid around the village, usually scavenging for food or stealing from travelers. He raised Tetsu until he arranged for him to live in Konoha so that he would remain safe. Tetsu lives with his grandmother, Okariin Suzuwa, on his mother’s side now, and has adopted her family's name. He knows next to nothing about her or anyone else in his family, aside from the fact that she can usually buy him any materials he needs by flirting with merchants (which disturbs him frequently). He graduated from the ninja academy recently, and is currently seeking out possible teammates, as well as ways to improve his combat skills.
