The Unstoppable Monster

I couldnt feel my legs anymore, I had been waiting for the single for hours now, crouched in an ice cold stream. I remained still however, barely ever moving, I couldnt afford for the camp of Konoha nin to see me just yet. Crunch The taste of the last bit of my meal is a bit sour from the water of the stream, although I suppose the toes arent too bad. A vibration in the radio on my neck tells me that its almost time, two more buzzesand I am unleashed on a population of enemies, one of whichmmma Hyuuga girlI can smell her from here. She is probably washing up in the stream. Another buzz. Ah so then the capture team is in place. Good, Good. I take a taste of the water, andoh yeah. I can taste her, delicious. Like a rare flower waiting to be usedthere it IS! I can feel my lips curling into an unnaturally large smile, before I literally leap forward. She reacted well, I must say. She, even while bathing in the river was able to attempt to strike with a rather nasty strike with their whatever ya call it. Sadly it was a close range technique, her screams brighten my smile. CrunchCrunch I can feel the snapping of the bones in her hand as I chew it up, she is holding the ruined stump in horror, looking back to me with eyes full of understanding. Oh yes little girlah there it is. She is terrified of me, if her quivering lip, and quavering eyes said anything. However, she is one of my targets, so I get to work. Leaving her a quadruple amputee before walking from the water, the retrieval squad will take her back happily. CrunchCrunch*Snap* Ah, there it is. I closed my eyes as I could feel every inch of my skin rippling, my eyes burning in their sockets. It was time. I opened my eyes and scanned the area using my byakugan. I was sad to note that this was the only bloodline in attendance; however it was easy pickings to take them out without killing them. A jab here, a palm there, badda bing, badda boom. How incredibly boring. My voice was as decidedly female as my current appearance, a slight side effect of taking her bloodline, but no matter, it only lasted a few moments after using her clans techniquesI considered shutting down the power and reverting to normal.

It did drain a lot of chakra, but decided to play a bit of a mind game with the commander of their group. I sauntered up and rested on him, and smiled a bit before making sure he was awake to see me. W-WhyHyuuga-santhey wontbe kind to youeither. Youre rightI hope its as rough as they say. I whimper in a false-depressive voice. His confusion was evident as I played the part of a depressed Main Branch member, it was always fun, as the Oto nin tore me away from him I smiled. It was always fun to twist their perceptions, and make them hate their own. Makes them more fun, for later. I chuckled as I looked down into the terrified expression of the woman I was emulating at the moment. Welcome to Oto, little flower I rumble as we begin to move out. I had a feeling I would be having a wonderful time. After all, I had a long journey back home, and plenty of snacks. As I watched them gather the information, and the medic stabilize the Hyuuga. I knew for certain. This warthis war would be a wondrous one. I slowly stalked to the other side of the river as the others moved by me, as my form changed back and I smiled a bit, as I scratched my hand a bit. Even the other Oto ninja looked at me with a quivering fear in their hearts, as I looked down at myself, dozens of hungry mouths to feed. They think they knew my purpose, but I was as much a weapon as I was a man. I know why I exist. I am the answer to the Rokudaime. I am the one who will devour their hero, and become him. I am The Devourer, I am the Beast of Orochimaru. I can feel my lips curl in an inhuman snarl, as several people move away from me. I leap up to a branch and rest on my haunches. Then with all of my mouths, I let out a roar that shatters the silence of the quiet night, and laugh. This was only the beginning.

The Devourer Template The Devourer is a template that was created in a flux; it possesses several unique Feats, and two jutsu. All devourers look human normally (albeit with sharp shark-like teeth), however when excited their smiles seem wide enough to literally cause their head to fall off. If they were to remove their clothes however, several additional mouths, all over his body that hunger for flesh, chakra, or even immaterial things, like fear, love, and even more. The devourer comes in two varieties. The Naturally occurring variety and the artificially created variety, the stronger of the two is oddly the natural form of the mutation. Devourer is a Inherent template that can be added to any humanoid creature, hereafter referred to as the base creature. Type: Once they acquire this template they are considered an Aberration, change any racial hit dice accordingly. Naturally occurring Devourers, can breed true with Humanoids, however their offspring only have a ten percent chance of being a devourer themselves, but they can carry the gene down. Abilities: +2 Dexterity (+2 Constitution, and +2 Strength; Naturals Only) All devourers have extreme manual control over their bodies, although those who were Naturally born seem to have reinforced skeletons, and enhanced muscle density as well. Special Qualities: Fast Healing (Ex): This abilities increases by one for every three hit dice the base creature possesses [Minimum 1](Created: Maximum of Five; Natural: Maximum of Ten). Chakra Resistance (Ex): 11+Class Level (Natural) 5+Class Level (Created) Chakra Absorption (Su): Whenever something fails to pierce the base creatures Chakra Resistance, the base creature gains 10% of the jutsus chakra cost added to his chakra pool. This ability cannot absorb chakra that was paid in whole or in part by Demonic Chakra. (Demonic chakra for these purposes, counts as : any jutsu that requires the (Demonic Subtype), or any jutsu powered by overwhelming chakra.) Scent (Ex): The Base Creature gains the Scent extraordinary quality. Sense Chakra (Ex): The Base Creature gains the Sense Chakra ability. Special Attacks:

Natural Attacks (Ex): The base creature gains a bite attack if they didnt already possess one. This deals 1d6+ strength modifier damage. This attack may be used as part of a full attack action as a secondary attack at a -5 penalty. No matter the base creatures base attack bonus he may not make multiple bites, as a primary attack. ECL: +3 (Created), +5 (Natural)

Feats:
Assimilation [General] Using the power of your ability to mimic bloodlines, you can now even mimic their very forms down to your chakra signature. Prerequisites: Cannibalize (t), Bloodline Adaption Effect: The character is able to take on a physical change. While using the ability of the Bloodline Adaption feat, the character is able to physically appear to be the exact same as the person that they took the bloodline from. This effect is only active as long as the bloodline is also in use, if the bloodline does not require activation, then this uses one point of chakra every round to maintain. There is no way to tell them apart physically, or through chakra senses. The character receives a +10 bonus to disguise checks to imitate the person they currently appear like. Bloodline Adaption [General] This power allows you to steal the power of a target hit by your cannibalize ability, and use it as your own. Prerequisites: Cannibalize (t) Effect: This allows the character to use the bloodline abilities of one character that was subjected to the Cannibalize jutsu. This must be invoked within three rounds of using the Cannibalize jutsu. The character gains the use of the targets bloodline at the same skill as they do,(Meaning they use the targets level to determine the power of the bloodlines traits, not your own.) This doubles the maintenance cost for the bloodline, and it is required every two rounds (unless it is required every round, then it continues to be charged each round.) If the bloodline does not require chakra to be used, the character must still pay three chakra every two rounds to maintain this power. The user may dispel the Bloodline at any time. The longest he can hold onto an activated bloodline is 10 minutes/character level. Special: This feat cannot emulate the power of a template, only bloodlines.

Channel Demonic Chakra [General]

Prerequisites: Chakra Absorption, Character Level 12, Devour Demonic Chakra. Effect: The character is able to spend Demonic chakra in a unique way, due to his unique form of chakra coils. They can spend Demonic Chakra to pay for speed or strength ranks, even if they do not possess the required jutsu to access those speeds or strength. While using this ability they may not surpass speed or strength rank 5. Special: After using this ability, the character takes one point of strength (Strength Ranks) or dexterity (Speed Ranks) damage, per rank used (This does not stack, use the maximum rank achieved without reverting to the normal state). This damage only lasts for one minute, with no saving throw allowed. Devour Demonic Chakra [General] Prerequisites: Chakra Absorption, Character level 9. Effect: The character is no longer affected by the inability to Absorb demonic chakra, and may add 10% of chakra gained from jutsu powered by demonic chakra to a special third chakra pool, this chakra pool does not regenerate overtime, and may have no more chakra within it than your character level + your constitution modifier (This is instead of adding it to the regular Chakra Pool). Each 24 hour period this pool reduces by one to a minimum of zero. If absorbing a technique with demonic chakra would put a character over their limit they instead take 1d6 points of damage per two points over (minimum one). Natural Selection [General] You've adapted to your augmented form, so much so that it feels like your natural self. Prerequisites: Devourer (created), ECL 9 or higher Effect: The character's Devourer (created) template is replaced with the Devourer (natural) template. All changes from this occur immediately. The character also learns the Cannibalize technique even if he doesnt meet the level requirements (he must still meet the requirements for mastery). Special: The character suffers 2 permanent negative levels. When the character gains a level, they must instead of gaining the additional character level, remove one of these negative levels, and increase their ECL by one. Whirlwind of Teeth[General] Prerequisites: Base Attack Bonus 6+, Aberration Effect: Allows the character to make multiple bite attacks as a full attack action. The primary mouth bite now does 1d8 +Strength in damage, while the smaller mouths can be shifted to be used in combat, only by using these can the character preform a full attack action. Each sub mouth deals 1d6 + Strength damage. If the character would ever gain an increase to unarmed strike damage, they may use the higher value, however if the higher value is the unarmed damage, the damage is Slashing or Bludgeoning and Deals an extra 1 damage per die above d6. (aka if the progession went d6, d8, d10, 2d10. Then it would gain a total of +3 extra damage at the end.)

Epic Feats:
Devour Essence [Epic, Technique] Prerequisites: Fast Healing 4+, Regeneration 4+, Devourer (Natural), Enhanced Healing, Whirlwind of Teeth, Devour Demonic Chakra, Channel Demonic Chakra. Effect: Gains access to the Devour Essence Epic Technique. Devour Mind [Epic, Technique] Prerequisites: Cannibalize (t), Bloodline Adaption, Assimilation Effect: Gain access to the Devour Mind Epic Technique. Devour Soul [Epic, Technique] Prerequisites: Cannibalize, Bloodline Adaption, Assimilation, Fast Healing 5+, Regeneration 5+, Devourer (Natural), Enhanced Healing, Whirlwind of Teeth, Devour Demonic Chakra, Channel Demonic Chakra, Devour Essence. Effect: Gain access to the Devour Soul Epic Technique. Special: This Feat requires GMs Permission before being taken. Enhanced Healing [Epic] Prerequisites: Fast Healing 7+, Devourer (Natural), Whirlwind of Teeth. Effect: The characters fast healing is reduced by half (rounded down), and converted to regeneration. Once the character gains this feat they must choice two elements that can surpass their regeneration (Fire, Electricity, Cold (Or Water), Acid (or Earth), Sonic, or Wind.) If at any time they become permanently immune to one or both of their chosen elements they must choose a new one, if they are unable to choose two, they lose the benefits of this feat. Those with an element in parenthesis count for both while only counting as one choice. When their regeneration reaches 5 they can even survive decapitation, as their head will regrow in 1d6 rounds, as long as they can expend 25 chakra. All other limbs take 3d6 minutes, which can be expedited to 1d6 rounds, if they spend 15 chakra/limb. Special: This feat may be taken twice. If it is taken a second time, the character regains their Fast Healing quality, however it is reduced by half (rounded down) of its appropriate score.

Jutsu:

Cannibalize
Taijutsu (Requires: Devourer (a)) [Devourer Hijutsu]

Rank: 8 (A-Class); Learn DC: 23, 5 success; Perform requirements: 11 ranks (DC 25);Time: 1 attack action; Components: M, P, E; Range: Attack; Target: One Creature or Corpse; Duration: Instantaneous; Saving Throws: None; Chakra Resistance: No; Chakra Cost: 7 (+3). This technique allows the user to close the distance between a target in range and himself, before making a bite attack roll if it succeeds it deals normal damage, plus an extra 3d6 points of slashing damage, as a piece of the target is consumed. If the target is a corpse however, the user instead gains 2 temporary hit points per level they possess, as well as activating any abilities that would be based on using the Cannibalize Technique.
Empower: For every three points of chakra the extra damage is increased by 1d6 (Max. 7d6 total)

Consume Emotions Chakra Control (Spirit) [Devourer Hijutsu] Rank: 7 (A-Class); Learn DC: 22, 5 success; Perform requirements: 10 ranks (DC 24);Time: 1 standard action; Components: M, P; Range: Personal; Area: 20 foot emanation centered on user; Duration: Round/Level; Saving Throws: Will Negates; Chakra Resistance: Yes; Chakra Cost: 8. This jutsu grants the user the ability to absorb the very emotions emanating off those around him. It grants him a bonus to all abilities that allies and enemies have a Morale, or Fear Bonus/Penalty too. For each ability he takes the highest of them all. If one target makes the save then the user cannot gain a bonus from that person. (So if someone had a +1 to attacks and Damage rolls from morale, and another a -2 to attacks from fear, the user would have +2 to attack and +1 to damage.) This is also a morale bonus. Those affected lose neither their bonus nor their penalties, if any. Devour Essence Chakra Control (Spirit) (Requires Devour Essence (f)) [Devourer Hijutsu] Rank: 18 (Epic); Learn DC: 43, 9 success; Perform requirements: 26 ranks (DC 48);Time: 1 attack action or Immediate Action (See Text); Components: M, P, E; Range: Personal; Target: You; Duration: Special (D); Saving Throws: Special (See Text); Chakra Resistance: No; Chakra Cost: 20 or None (See Text). This power allows the user to preform one of two actions each requiring the opponent to be a Bijuu Host of some sort. The first, when used to attack, as a ranged touch attack, may devour the Bijuu Hosts powers granted by the template they possess. This power takes one tail worth of chakra from the user, and grants access to all the powers that would give. However, the duration of the control depends of the power of the beast. In a strange twist of fate this power lasts longer on the stronger Biju than the weaker.

1-2 tails: Round/three levels 3-4 tails: Round/two levels 5-6 tails: Round/level 7-8 tails: 2 rounds/level 9 tails: [Special] The nine tails power is a bit different, when taking on one of the great kitsunes tails the user must make a will save (DC 30+ current number of tails consumed) or be consumed by the Kyuubis Hatred, and forced into a berserk rage attacking friend or foe as long as the Kyuubi wills it, unless the user makes a will save, only possible once every five rounds. This power does not actually remove the power from the Biju or its host, the great beasts power is more than any mortal can easily classify. The second way it can be used is a one time use, when attacked by an unbound Biju. The user and the Biju make an opposed will save, and if the user succeeds he devours the Biju completely losing the devourer template, and all devourer feats except for the Devour Essence feat. Instead they gain access to the Bijus template and may relearn all the lost feats (as allowed by your GM), however you still must meet all prerequisites to use any feat or jutsu you possess.

Devour Mind Ninjutsu (Mind Affecting) (Requires Devour Mind (f)) [Devourer Hijutsu] Rank: 16 (Epic); Learn DC: 41, 9 success; Perform requirements: 24 ranks (DC 46);Time: 1 Minute; Components: M, P, H; Range: Touch; Target: One Creature; Duration: Instantaneous; Saving Throws: Will Partial; Chakra Resistance: Yes; Chakra Cost: 40. This horrible technique allows the user to attack the very memories and being of the creature they target. They are able to learn their secrets, and anything else they may know. This technique also allows the erasure of memories, and even the guiding of the way it repairs the damage. The user may edit the following facts about the target: Jutsu Access (Temporary: 1 week/level), Allegences (Change the order of them: Permanent), Allegences (Change them slightly: Month/Level), Allegences (Major Changes: Week/Level), Allegences (Drastic Changes: Day/Level), Minor Memory erasure (Permanent), Major Memory Erasure (Week/level), Drastic Memory Erasure (Day/level), Complete Amnesia (Permanent, but can be repaired by a sufficient jutsu.) This also removed any increases to the Learn DC or Successes required the user would ever have for learning the personal or family Hijutsu of the target. If the target makes the save they are able to fend off the worse of the attack, the target still gains full access to their mind but they may not edit anything.

Devour Soul Chakra Control (Spirit) (Requires Devour Soul (f)) [Devourer Kinjutsu] Rank: 20 (Epic); Learn DC: 45, 10 success; Perform requirements: 28 ranks (DC 50);Time: Full Round Action; Components: M, P; Range: Close; Target: One Creature; Duration: Special (D); Saving Throws: Will Partial or Fortitude Partial; Chakra Resistance: No; Chakra Cost: 50% Total remaining or 80 whichever is greater This jutsu has two possible effects:
If the target is an unbound Biju it must be struck by a ranged touch attack and then they undergo a contest of wills. If the user succeeds, they may devour the Bijus power, however this isnt a complete take over. They may take only one tail per use, but it is a permanent exchange unless the user should die, reducing the Bijus current and maximum chakra equal to the part of his total tails that was equal to (For the three tails it would be, 1/3 reduction in both current and maximum chakra.)The user gains no benefit except the Demonic Subtype. If this is the final tail, then the user may gain the Bijus respective template while keeping the Devourer Template. If the target is a living being with a soul, the user my attempt to consume it. The target makes a fortitude save, if they fail the user devours their soul, killing them instantly, and preventing the target from ever being raised from the dead from techniques such as Edo Tensei. If the target makes their save they are dealt damage equal to the amount of chakra spent on this technique from the force of the pull on their soul.

Twins of another Sort

Orochimaru-samas order were simple. Eliminate the Aburame Clans insect hives that are hidden outside of their village. The leader of the four man squad stated with a simple motion towards the map behind him marking several dozen locations. His mask covered his entire head, revealing only his right eye, which was a dark color close to black. Of course, we are the three most disposed to eliminating them. One of the two other men stated with a slight hiss in his voice as he looked to his right, where his sister was sitting. Isnt that right Junko? he smiled a bit as she shifted a bit and looked back to him, her eyes were like a snakes, and it always excited him to see her so hungry for the kill. They were unique among the army of Orochimarus soldiers. They were the deadliest poison users, by their very nature. Right. Kanno. Her voice was sharp and final sounding as she looked back to the team leader. They each possessed a set of dangerous fangs, and had the hardened skin of a serpent, however the similarities ended there. She was a death dealer, spit, bit, and even gaseous poisons, each of them were deadly, and she could change them within herself with ease. Her brother was different. His poisons were all contact poisons that seeped from his skin, and he only possessed poisons that could incapacitate his foes. They looked between one another for only a moment before standing and leaning against one another back to back, listening not to the briefing but to the sound of their very beating hearts. It was a trick they learned to gauge when one of them were worried or not. This time they both were. Kanno was first to move as he extended a hand to the final member of their group, at the same moment Junko coughed and splashed a bit of her poison straight into the eye of their leader. The man hit the ground screaming as he could feel his eye melting in its socket. The final member of the four collapsed his body wracked by pain as he slowly felt his extremities going numb as the twins smiled and looked him over. In that one instant the man noticed their snake-like features, and was no longer curious as to why they sofearsome. Sorry brat. Kanno said as he leaned over the nameless sound nin who was so terrorfied. Orochimarus forcesthey just arent the place for us. So we sold you out. It was in that moment that seemingly from the thin air six people seemed to grow from thousands of insects. Junko smiled at one of them as she stepped up So, will this one appease the Rokudaime as to our desire to switch sides? You will still deliver the papers about the poisons and then yes. Hokage-sama has agreed to give you the rights to start your clan in Konoha. The leader of the group of Aburame stated as they had their bugs cocoon the man and carry him off. Kanno smiled bright as he lashed his tongue out to get a good smell, and smiled to his sister. Ah. Free at last.

Junko frowned a bit before looking back to Kanno and smiled brightly hugging her brother Yes, but the others will come for us soon. Kanno laughed as he hugged his sister tightly. Then we should get a move on. Konoha will need our help if they are to have a chance with all those poisons. And with that the Sassichi twins betrayed their master for a chance at freedom, and love. Konoha would find the twins abilities with Poison to be their saving grace in the battles to come.

Serpent Affinity (Ex): The character no longer needs to meet the Allegiance restrictions on the Blood Pact for snakes. Gland (Ex): The character gains a poison gland; this gland creates one of two types of Poison: Contact, or Injury. To use it effectively in combat, the character must make a concentration check, the DC is above. This provokes an attack of opportunity. If it succeeds the character successfully can use one dose of their poison. This can be used no more than once per minute.

The Character may choose a single poison from the list of poisons with a DC lower than their Constitution score. Its type must match the type of the user. The character never risks poisoning themself while applying their own poison to weapons and is immune to their own poison. They gain a +2 to fortitude saves against poison of the same type. Scales (Su) [Male Only]: Whenever the character is attacked they may spend 1 chakra/+1 in scales (Example: Scales +3 costs three chakra) to gain the listed number in natural armor until the beginning of their next turn. This represents hardening their scales and reinforcing it with chakra. Improved Serpent Affinity (Ex) [Female Only]: The character gains the Blood Pact [Snakes] Feat if they do not already possess it. If they do, all snakes they summon with poison have their poison DC increased by 1. For non-poisonous snakes they gain a +2 bonus to strength or constitution. Improved Gland (Ex): the character does not suffer an attack of opportunity when using their poison, nor do they need to make a concentration check. They may however make one with a DC 10+1/2 Character level to gain a +2 bonus to the DC of their poison for the next dose. This makes them unable to use their poison for an additional minute. Second Gland (Ex): The character may use a second dose of their poison within the cool down period, and starts a second cool down for this dose as well. It follows the exact restriction as the first dose. OR the character may gain a new poison, and follow all the same restrictions as they did when gaining the first one. Greater Serpent Affinity (Ex) [Females Only]: This allows the character to learn any jutsu that requires Snake Blood Pact as if it were a normal jutsu. (Example: If it is a Hijutsu, they reduce the number of successes needed to learn it by one; two for Kinjutsu.) They also count as having +2 ranks in the relevant skill for determining thresholds for that technique. Third Gland (Ex) [Females Only]: The character may use a third dose of their poison within the cool down period, and starts a second or even a third cool down for this dose as well. It follows the exact restriction as the first and second dose. OR the character may gain a new poison, and follow all the same restrictions as they did when gaining the first one and/or second one.

Feats:
Ability Focus: Gland [Bloodline: Snake-Bred] Prerequisite: Gland Extraordinary ability Effect: +2 to the DC of all poisons that are used with the Gland Quality. (Includes Second and Third Gland, even if they are different poisons.)

Delivery Method: Fangs [Bloodline: Snake-Bred] Prerequisite: Gland Extraordinary ability, Injury Poison. Effect: The character gains a bite natural attack. Damage for a medium character is 1d4. Normal: The character must apply the poison to a weapon as a move action after creating it.

Expanded Gland [Bloodline: Snake-Bred] Prerequisite: Gland Extraordinary ability Effect: You gain one addition poison. This poison must follow all restrictions that the character is normally restricted to.

Expanded Venom[Bloodline: Snake-Bred] Prerequisite: Gland Extraordinary ability Effect: You may now choose any kind of poison, however ingested poisons bear a special mention. As they require the user to deal a point of damage to themselves and use the blood to make the poison work. This takes a Full-Round action. This use of your Poison gland does NOT cause a cool down to start.

Hardened Carapace [Bloodline: Snake-Bred] Prerequisite: Scales +2 Effect: You may instead of gaining Natural Armor while using the Scales ability gain general damage reduction equal to the same value. This Damage reduction stacks with Tough Hero damage reduction gained through levels, and talents. It does not stack with any other sources of DR.

The Walking Storm

One touch. A single tap. Then another, and another. I cant help but smile as I watch the most dense, and tough materials in the elemental nations turn to a powder beneath my fingertips. Behind me three guards, or piles of dust as they are now, rest forevermore. One more tap Ah. Here it is. The map. Important. Lord Orochimarus plans need the location of the Hidden Leafs base, and here it is. Right out in the middle of this secure facility, with guards and an impenetrable vault. Could they have made it any easier for me? I turn to leave but I notice that someone has entered the hallway deep within. I slide the scroll away and smile as I wait for the enemy to come closer. I am illuminated, and never really tried to hide. I wasnt scared. Come little Shinobi. I wont bite too hard before you cant feel anymore~ The figure walked with a quiet confidence that only served to annoy me, until I got a good look at the woman before me, and I think for the first time, perhapsPERHAPS I was a bit scared. This woman, was the Commander of the facility and supposed to be off at a major meeting with the Hokage. I wanted to avoid fighting her at all costs, but now it was too late. Ah~ Hatake-chanhow are you doing? The woman slowly stopped and smiled a bit, her eyes still closed, and I swear I was being mocked. However, she was dangerous. I knew that much. Illegitimate or not, this girl was dangerous. Thats not even considering who her Jonin sensei had been. Hey~what did you do to my cute little soldiers? her eyes remained closed even as I listened to her teasing voice, but I knew that if she was serious enough to open themwell I was likely doomed. Her Godfathers training alone would have told me that, but her entire history left my sides corpses in the dirt. Put the scroll backand I may be nice enough to only cut in the non-vital places. There was her mothers sadism kicking in. Never. I stated far more confidently than I felt, but then again I knew more about her than she about meI assumed. She threw a kunai with impressive speed, and I merely blocked it with an open palm, before speeding up considerably to lay a hand onto her abdomen. This would kill her. I was surprised it was so easy. However the puff of ashes never came as only her clothes seemed to burn away. Awww*poof* it was then that I knew how fucked I really was. The woman I had been fighting a moment ago was only a henge, meaning she HAD leftbut in her placein her placeI gulped as I felt the sand curl around me, and I could only close my eyes as I felt her eyes trying to burn into mine. The daughter of the Kazekage. Gaaras daughter, and inheritor of his sand manipulation, Sabaku no Kanoka. I smiled after a moment as I surged my chakra through my body blasting the sand in every direction as I sprinted for the exit slamming my hands into supports as I ran, collapsing the roof behind me without missing a step. I got the feeling that place housed something more, but I couldnt place it, as I kept running. Nothing would slow me down. I had to live. I had a message to deliver

Sadly, in hindsight, I never noticed that the map was a fake, and that the girl had managed to trace me back to camp. I wonder, now that we are under attackhow long until I get to play?

While using this power, when the character deals damaged unarmed, or with a natural weapon, one point of the damage ignores hardness, and damage reduction of any kind. Check for this AFTER applying Hardness or Damage Reduction, so that this point comes from one of the ignored points of damage. This stance costs two points of chakra to enter. Increased Unarmed Damage (Su): While using any form of Annihilation the character adds the value to every die rolled for unarmed damage. For example if normally I deal 1d6+2 damage, and have the second level of this power I deal 1d6+4. This power works for any reason that dice would be rolled for unarmed damage, representing more of the destructive chakra invading the enemies body. Following the previous example, on a critical the damage would be 2d6+12 [2(2)+2(2)(2)] .

Annihilate Objects (Su): While using any form of Annihilation, the characters unarmed strikes deal double damage. Double the damage after it was reduced for hardness. Improved Annihilation (Su): This acts like a stance for all intents and purposes. . It takes a move action to activate. While using this power, when the character deals damaged unarmed, or with a natural weapon, one dice of the damage ignores hardness, and damage reduction of any kind. Check for this AFTER applying Hardness or Damage Reduction, so that this point comes from one of the ignored points of damage. This stance costs four points of chakra to enter. Annihilate Form (Su): While using any form of Annihilation, and the character kills a creature, that creature is reduced to a fine dust. Annihilate Chakra (Su): While using any form of Annihilation, the character gains Chakra Resistance 10 + Character level. Greater Annihilation (Su): This acts like a stance for all intents and purposes. It takes a move action to activate. While using this power, when the character deals damaged unarmed, or with a natural weapon, all of the damage ignores hardness, and damage reduction of any kind. This stance costs six points of chakra to enter, and an additional 1 chakra per round.

Feats:
Lightning Annihilation [Bloodline: Annihilator] Prerequisites: Annihilation Effect: Annihilation may be activated as a swift action instead of a move action. You may still use a move action instead if you desire.

A Thousand Petals

My name is Sakura Haruno. I am a legend of Konoha. I was trained by the Godaime Hokage. I am a medic. I am physically stronger than almost any other shinobi in the world. I was chosen to participate in seven of the most important S-Class missions in the world. One of which, I am now paying for. I sighed a bit as I thought all these details over, and looked back to Naru-errthe Rokudaime. It was always hard to think of him like that. Hes not much different, justworldlier. I sighed as I pulled back on my sleeping clothes, and looked around the room. It was clean, pristinely so. Pictures of herself and several other Kunoichi adorned the walls. She was one the Devils Wives, as some called them now. She was chosen by her sensei before Narutos ascension to I heard him snore a bit and smiled gently, as I noticed the pictures of Narutos children. It was a mission lasting only nine months. I think you get the drift. Naruto didnt get a choice. The Uzimaki and Namikaze need heirs, and their particular traits were needed. Strong breeding for the next generation. It was also to serve, as a lesion for the poor snoozing blonde. He was effectively immortal. Unaging. The day he found that outthat he would out live ushe just closed off. Still, that was all twenty years ago now. I slowly made my way back to his bed. I was a married woman now. Not to Naruto either. Howeversometimes I just needed to be here with him. Narutos second wife understood. As did my husband. I paused as I looked to the picture of Hinata. Narutos first wife, she had been taken by one of the enemy factions early in the war. I looked back to the sleeping face of Naruto, and smiled. I slowly moved to brush some hair from Narutos face, but he quickly grabbed my wrist. Hard. I gasped and looked into his soft blue eyes before they made the inevitable shift to a purple color. They always did that nownow that he was the Kyuubi no yoko. Sorta? Where is Sakura? he asked, voice cold as ice. I was confused. What did he mean? I am right here. What are you talk- Drop the technique. You cant fool me now. It was then that I slowly noticed I was holding something, tightly. A kunai! When did IwhenI am Sakura Haru-I am SakuraI amKimiko Hitomuri. Assassin of Oto. I have a secretI have a mission Very good. Lord Orochimaru expected no less. I figured he would be the one to send youwhen did he get a Hyuuga? I smiled a bit and tilted my head to the side. I was happy he noticed my heritage so easily. I suppose the eyes give it away. Ah, sometime ago. I am here to negotiate a temporary cease-fire between Oto and Konoha, untilAkatsuki is dealt with.

Oh? And what would we get from working with him? Naruto asked dangerously, he despised my master so much it actually hurt. Me. You? I have you. What could you possibly do? NoI meanyou can have me. In whatever capacity you need. I will serve you faithfully... Narutos eyes widened as he listened, it was rare to find people of my level of devotion. I could just kill you. I dont want to die. Not before spending more time with you, if you deem it soFather. There it was, my secret. Narutos desperately searched my face for lies, deceit, anything. He slowly sighed, and then made a single seal. I could feel the world becoming fuzzy around me. I-I must think on thisone more thingwhere is Sakura? I never met her. She should be right where you left herin Konoha. Naruto let out a sigh, as his bedroom grew fuzzier and fuzzier. Until I was consumed by the blackness. In my dreams I saw my mother. She was different now. Lord Orochimaru had taken her from the captors, and used her to make me. Now she was different. But that secret was for another day, as my mind was silenced as well. I am Kimiko Hitomuri, assassin of Oto, daughter of Hinata Hyuuga and Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze, and I am his oldest daughter, and one his nine children. I am a tool of Lord Orochimaru. I exist to serve.

True Kunoichi These humans are the byproducts of selective breeding and a rigorous process of human engineering, using resources that most would pale at the implications to use. They are commonly created from captured bloodline possessing Kunoichi, but that is not a requirement. Strangely this process has so far produced no male examples, thus its name. Size: Medium. Humans have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size. Ability Modifiers: -2 Strength, +2 Intelligence, +2 Charisma. Type: Remains unchanged. Gains the (True Kunoichi) subtype. Base Speed: 30 feet. Low-Light Vision: True Kunoichi can see twice as far as a human in starlight, moonlight, torchlight, and similar conditions of poor illumination. They retain the ability to distinguish color and detail under these conditions. Elemental Affinity: Any. Bonus Feat: True Kunoichi receive a bounus feat (Pick one: Advanced Bloodline, Face Masking, or Deceptive.) Free Language Skills: Read/Write Common (or local language), Speak Common (or local language). Other Languages: Sign Common, Earth, Fire, Lightning, Water, Wind.

Feats:
Immersion [Racial] Prerequisites: Perfect Disguise (t), Face Masking, and Deceptive. Disguise 5 ranks, Bluff 5 ranks. Effect: This allows a character that has used the perfect disguise technique to completely immerse themselves in the target. They must spend an additional hour in preparation, reading up and learning about the target. For each hour spent after the first they move up a stage on the familiarity chart, granting a bonus to disguise and bluff. (Maxing out at +10 for intimate.) Special: You need to speak with your GM about how familiar you can get to with the information available to you.

Jutsu:

Perfect Disguise
Ninjutsu (Requires: True Kunoichi Subtype) Rank: 7 (B-Class); Learn DC: 21, 3 success; Perform requirements: 9 ranks (DC 22);Time: 1 minute; Components: C, H, X; Range: Personal; Target: You; Duration: Day/Level; Saving Throws: None; Chakra Resistance: No; Chakra Cost: 5.

Using this jutsu, you spend a minute shifting your form, into the targets. This requires the target to be humanoid. If the target is not a humanoid you take one point of constitution

damage, and are stunned for 1d10 minutes from pain as your body convulses from the attempt to change its physiology to such a degree. If successful you are a perfect look-alike, and it is nigh-impossible to distinguish the difference physically. (Nothing can pick you apart in appearance.) You do not need to know what your target looks like as the component guides you. Material Component: a small piece of the target. Hair, blood, anything that was once a part of their body.

The Eye of Nothing LifeDeathLifeDeathLife I frown as I look at the last two remaining petals. They existed merely to annoy me, looking so alive. So free. I pushed a bit of my chakra to my hand, and watched as the flower crumbled and died in my hand. So I looked to the dark haired woman that was glaring at me. Tenten Hyuuga. It has taken me quite some time to find you. I wanted tosee you for so long she seemed confused, as I smiled. Of course she was! I was nothing like I used to be. I was no longer weak. I was no longer confined. I was power. I was death itself now. I suppose she would have to find that out on her own. What do you want? I wont ever break! I wont betray Konoha! I smile even wider as I turn away from her. I was nothing. I am more now. She would see that. I dont expect it. Yet. I spun around and looked her in the eyes, and I watched her recoil. I was so much more than human. To beginto ascendI will help you. You will awakento the truth. And with Orochimarus help, we shall journey towards the promised land. Just who are you!? she shouted loudly at me and I smiled a bit before shaking my head in annoyance. I was far beyond her memories now. I had hurt her in a way that she could only imagine. I was onceMitoshi Nobusaki. Tentens eyes widened as she looked at me, finally that fear I had hoped to see, I relished her shock and terror. Y-YouI-I killed you! I wasremade. It was because of me that you daughter was abducted. It was because of me, that Konohas walls were breached, and it was because of methat you will die. She recoiled, and fought against her binds. I was so far from the perfection that my body demands. Every other of my kind could feel that we all had such a problem, but the time for such thoughts was over. He calmly smiled as he felt the power within his flesh coming to the surface. He leaned down and placed his fingers on her temples, as the dark corrupting veins began to appear on her soft flesh. Tentens pained tears began to fall. She couldnt stop it. I knew this. The pain was horrendous. I knew this. She was dying. I knew this. Her body was rebelling against my poison. I knew this. It was only a matter of time. This, was fact.

NobusakipleasestopI-I blood blackened by my corruption fell from her lips, as she tried to reason with me. I would allow no reason. I wanted her. She would be mine. I could feel the laughter building in my breast, and it spilled out. Moments later I stood tall, and looked over the slumped form of my beloved Tenten. I would have her now. Nobusaki the betrayer. That is what I was once called. Now, I am Lord Daraku. One of Orochimarus most deadly generals. I am on par with the the First Devourer, Togashi. I am one of the three most powerful Oto-nin besides Orochimaru himself. I bow to no one. I am a king among peasants, and soon I will have my queen. The door opened and several medical ninja rushed in to begin the process. Soon there would be another. SoonSoon, I will travel there. After this petty war. I will step into the Promised Land, and find my perfection of self. I will become God.

The Corrupted Template The Corrupted is an acquired template that may be applied to any humanoid that has died within the past week. It requires advanced technological, medical, and a mysterious final element to awaken the fallen as a Corrupted, and it is an expensive process to be sure. (Wealth DC 42) However, the Corrupted are incredibly capable and dangerous foes. Even if the base creature was a poor warrior, they can become engines of destruction, of the likes the world has almost never seen before. Type: Unchanged. They do however gain the (Demonic ) Subtype. Abilities: +4 to one ability score, +2 to two ability scores. The Power of corruption has unique growth potential with each subject. Special Qualities: Fast Healing (Ex): 3 Corrupted Chakra (Su): Whenever the character uses a jutsu, they may spend 10% more chakra to make it Corrupted. Corrupted Jutsu may not be used with medical techniques. If the Jutsu deals Elemental damage, it now deals half of that element, and half Corruption damage. If the jutsu deals ability damage, then one point of that damage is drain (which is regained instantly should the target ever gain this template.) In all other instances, the jutsu is instead treated as two ranks higher for purposes of determining its Saving throw DC. Cursed Empowerment (Ex): Should the character possess, or ever gain a Cursed Seal they only gain half the usual corruption from using the seal, and can never receive a permanent effect from it, including death. Special Attacks: Corrupting touch (Su): The very touch of these beings can corrupt someone to their very core. Unarmed, Natural, or touch attack all deal 1d4 extra points of corruption damage. If the attack does not deal damage then 1d4 corruption damage is applied anyway. ECL: +3

Feats:
Corrupted Being [General] Prerequisites: Chakra Pool 30, Corrupted Chakra

Effect: The character gains Damage Reduction 2/- as his body is reinforced by the power of corruption. Special: This Feat stacks with other types of damages reduction of the same type, even if that Damage reduction says otherwise.

Corrupted Sight [General] Prerequisites: Corrupted Chakra, Corrupted Being Effect: The Characters eyes change, turning the pupils into slits. The character gains low-light vision. For one chakra a minute they gain darkvision 30ft. Special: Anyone able to See Through Chakra while you are using your Darkvision, and looks at you will notice something wrong about the chakra paths around your eyes. Corrupted Senses [General] Prerequisites: Corrupted Chakra, Corrupted Being, Corrupted Sight. Effect: The character gains blindsense 5ft. They may extend this range by 5ft/point of chakra/round maintained. The Character also gains one of the following: Scent, Chakra Sense, Suppress Chakra, Tremorsense 15ft (must possess one of the listed senses first), or Blindsight 10ft (must possess all other senses listed here.) Special: You may take this feat multiple times, each time you take it your base blindsense increases by 5ft. One you possess Tremorsense, every additional feat also adds 5ft to that as well. One you possess Blindsight you may no longer take this feat. Anyone able to See Through Chakra while you are empowering your blindsense, and looks at you will notice something wrong about the chakra paths around your eyes. Corrupted Soul [General] Prerequisites: Corrupted Chakra, Corrupted Being, Chakra pool 60. Effect: Once per week, you may use a corrupted Jutsu to deal half damage. One-third of this damage is normal, one-third of this damage is Corrupted, and the last third permanently reduces the enemies total hit points. This loss may be reversed with any epic medical Jutsu that heals hit points. The character using this also takes two points of Constitution damage as he pushes his spirit forcibly into another. Eternal Divide [General] Prerequisites: Corrupting Touch, Greater Corrupting Touch, ECL 18. Effect: The characters Corrupting Touch evolves to the next level. This allows the character to spend ten minutes, pressing their hands to the targets body. This requires concentration, and if any distractions

appear the attempt is ruined. If it succeeds the target must make fortitude save (DC 10+1/2 character level+ users con mod), or die from the corruption. Targets who die in this way reduce the Wealth Check DC to make a new Corrupted by 10, if they are to become the newly corrupted. Corrupted created from this power, make a will save when created. (DC 10+1/2 Character level+ Users Cha Mod) or have their Allegiances shifted to match the users, with the exception that their new first allegiance is always the user of this feat, however over time the power ebbs away, allowing them to change. Otherwise they are completely free to do as they choose Greater Corrupting Touch [General] Prerequisites: Corrupting Touch, ECL 12. Effect: The characters Corrupting Touch evolves to the next level. The damage increases to 1d6 per unarmed attack, Natural attack or touch attack. Or they may forgo all damage from the attack before rolling to deal 1 point of strength or dexterity damage that lasts for only one minute.

Epic Feats:
Lord of Corruption [Epic] Prerequisites: Corrupting Touch, Greater Corrupting Touch, Eternal Divide. Effect: The mind control power of Eternal Divide, no longer possesses a save as long as he still produces the new Corrupted at full price. He may now also have one of these Corrupted bound to him in such a way that their allegiances always match his own (with the same exception for the targets first allegiance as Eternal Divide).

The Final Advent [Epic] Prerequistes: Corrupted Being, Corrupted Sight, Corrupted Senses, Corrupted Soul, Eternal Divide, Greater Corrupting Touch, Lord of Corruption, Character Level 28, GMs Permission. Effect: You are the chosen one of those who are truly lost to the corruption. There is said to only one being that may possess this power at any one time. The moment you take this feat your level adjustment increases by +2. Increase two ability scores by +2 and gain speed rank and strength rank 2 permanently activated for no cost. So you may, if you already possess speed and/or strength ranks you treat your current level as two lower. You gain the ability to fly at you land speed with (good) maneuverability. This flight ability takes two points of chakra a turn to maintain.

WarWar Never Changes

It was one of the most wonderful feelings in the world. If there was even a way to compare it to any other. The face of an enemy that has shattered their precious weapon against your very skin, is a rare delight. One that I have been able to savor more times than I should. I am known as Hito, the sword eater. My brother is more of a weapons user and his name is Kiri. I always liked that kind of humor. I continued to just walk through the battlefield, ignoring the stings of a kunai hit here, or a shuriken strike there. Even those that werent just happenstance, and luck didnt leave much more than a scratch. I had only one target in this. One of the Hokages friends. It was easy enough. She wasnt a general battle type, but she did have a power that could prove annoying if I take my eyes off of her, so I dont. I march on. Oh. She noticed me. Now there are several Anbu on me, how irritating. Those swords could leave cuts! How thoughtless of her. I almost wanted to pout, as I punched my hand straight through the first mans armor, and straight through to his sternum. I ripped it out, and kept walking. The other ones were now being handled by my brother, so it didnt matter anymore. Soon I would have a pretty little blond to bring back to lord Orochimaru. Then It was over. I was thrown back, I could feel the pain in every inch of my body. But this wasnt a natural kind of pain. It was him. Loki. He looked at me with his freaky eyes, and I glared back at him. Orochimaru-sama said that he possessed a rare bloodline. One that was more myth that reality. I could feel my body aching from the power that the boy was capable of using. So it is the boy who claims to be descended from Kami? I was excited, more so than you could imagine. Then I felt it, he was pushing me back again. I lost my footing, slammed into my brother. Kuso. Damned brat! I charged forwards, I could feel it. I couldnt beat him. So I did the next best thing. I won. I grabbed the girl and tossed her to my brother, just in time to feel that strange sensation. It was unique, to say the least. I touch the hole in my chest, where there was once lungs, and a heart, and probably more than that was now a gaping hole. Bas- It was going black, it was hurting. I was dying again. I smirked, I would see that bastard again. My kind werent so easy to kill. Sadly for me. My enemy knew that, and I never did wake up again. At least not in the way I wanted to. I am alive, butI cant move, I am constantly in a state in between life and death. The punishment for my crimes. I will be free one day. I swear it.

Golden Eyes You Might think that you know what I ambut I will be free again. You know nothing. This was the very first of Orochimarus experiments that was revealed, however, due to the path of the Shinobi, being deceitful as it is, that information was proven false, their true abilities are listed below:

Bloodline Prerequisites: Feat: Advanced Bloodline (Golden Eyes)

TABLE: GOLDEN EYES BLOODLINE TRAITS

Character Level Intermediate st 1 Stare of the Titans nd 2 3rd Dr 1/th 4 --th 5 --th 6 Dr 2/th 7 --th 8 th 9 Dr 3/10th Improved Unarmed Strike Damage th 11 th 12 Dr 4/th 13 th 14 --th 15 Dr 5/th 16 --17th 18th Dr 6/th 19 --th 20 Titans Walk the World

Stare of the Titans (Ex): Once per Day, the character can spend five chakra to gain a gaze attack, that works like the frightful presence feat, when he does this his normally golden yellow eyes seem to burn, and swirl, like molten gold. Also the character has a +2 bonus to Intimidate, this bonus increases to +4 at 8th level, and +6 at 16th level. Damage Reduction (Ex): This damage reduction stacks with any damage reduction gained through permanent talents, feats, or class abilities only. Temporary sources of any kind never stack, only overlap.

This is an except to other rules of Damage Reduction stacking, and applies even if the other abilities state otherwise. Improved Unarmed Strike Damage (Ex): The characters size is treated as one category larger for determining unarmed strike damage. Titans Walk the World (Ex): The character counts as one Size Category larger whenever it would benefit him to do so, as per the Powerful Build ability

Feats:

Body of Steel [General] Prerequisites: Stare of the Titans, Damage Reduction 2/Effect: A character with this feat, has gain supernatural hardness of flesh. Whenever a weapon strikes the user, and fails to exceed the characters Damage Reduction, it has a twenty-five percent chance to break. If the weapon is Mastercraft +1 or better it is immune to this effect.

Body of the Unbreakable Adamant [General] Prerequisites: Stare of the Titans, Damage Reduction 4/-, Body of Steel Effect: as per Body of steel, but the chance of breaking is increased to fifty percent, and to be immune the weapon must be Mastercraft +2 or better.

Titanic Form [General] Prerequisites: Stare of the Titans, Damage Reduction 9/-, Body of Steel, Body of the Unbreakable Adamant. Effect: As per Body of Steel, except that all weapons that fail to exceed the characters Damage reduction are automatically broken, unless they are Mastercraft +3 or better.

Epic Feats:
Roar of the Invulnerable [Epic] Prerequisites: Stare of the Titans, Damage Reduction 12/-, Body of Steel, Body of the Unbreakable Adamant, Titanic Form, True Titan.

Effect: Every week for a year, if the character has died, a d% is rolled, with each week dead increasing the range by one, and penalized by one for each time the character has died in the past ten years of life. If the roll fails nothing happens, if it succeeds, over the course of a day, the Golden eyes begins to regenerate from where the most of his remains have gathered. If there is not enough space for the characters body, the character does return to a half-life, not counting against their total age, or their weeks, but unable to die, or move, or communicate, they are effectively immortal, and yet trapped in themselves. Otherwise they completely regenerate, and walk the world completely recovered. Titanic Strike [Epic] Prerequisites: Improved Unarmed Strike Damage, Titans Walk the World Effect: The characters unarmed strikes are considered Mastercraft +3 for both attack and damage. They may be used in place of a sword as a material focus in jutsu use. The unarmed strike is considered sheathed or unsheathed at any time, whichever is advantageous to the character at the time. True Titan [Epic] Prerequisites: Stare of the Titans, Damage Reduction 12/-, Body of Steel, Body of the Unbreakable Adamant, Titanic Form. Effect: The character can no longer take damage from non-mastercrafted weapons. Mastercrafted weapons with a bonus of +1 have their damage quartered, before applying damage reduction. Weapons with a mastercraft bonus of +2 have their damage halved before applying damage reduction. Mastercrafted weapons with a bonus of +3 deal three quarters of the weapons damage before damage reduction. Any weapon with a Mastercraft bonus higher than +3 is unaffected. This had no effect on damage granted by weapons seals, unless it is a flat bonus to the weapons damage. (e.i. if it add +1d6 electricity, it is not reduced. If it adds +2 to damage, then it is affected.)

Stepping Stones I can feel the sands shifting beneath my feet, the movement of my enemies in the air, the grumble of their chakra in my heart, and the powers they unleash in my eyes. It is always the same in war. I am called Eclipse, by friend and foe alike. I have lived longer than any village can remember. I was born before the elemental countries were solidified. I am old, I am experienced, and I am bored. My sword cleaves into another shinobi, and I still cannot feel it. I have heard that these Konoha shinobi are the best in the world, unconquered, unbowed, and unbroken. I find them to be insects in the air compared to me. The home of Orochimaru, a man I hope can become my companion through this dismal eternity I have lived. The only person whose ambitions could have carried him through the impossible. I feel the wind leave my chest, as a blow strikes me. It was hard, strong, fast, and confident. I am almost moved by the passion in the strike, but when I see my opponent all I can feel is annoyance. A pair of shinobi, both clad in green form fitting clothes. I do not underestimate them, and prepare to take a stance; I notice that the battle has broken off around us, as the common soldiers wish to watch. Obviously, these two are the strongest of the leaf here, as I am the strongest of Oto. Wait! Before we begin, I Rock Lee, the Youthful Green Beast of Konoha, cannot fight you, unless then he reaches into his pouch and pulls out a pure white jacket and holds it out to me. The smaller green clad shinobi begins to tear up at his senseis honor I am perplex by his offer and look down, noticing that his blow had ruined my jacket, leaving my chest exposed to the open air. It explained some of the more lustful looks I was receiving, but that worried me, just a touch more. I had also bound myself, with chakra resistant wrappings so as my chest didnt interfere with cross slashes. The mans kick had destroyed them, meaning his skill with hand-to-hand maneuvers was incredible. I could feel my pulse pick up as I removed my jacket, and began to tear it into new wrappings. I was growing excited. My blood was pumping for this battle. I wanted it! More than anyone could understand. I had so rarely encountered anyone that could interest me. I tightly finished my bindings, and politely accepted the jacket. I was not worried for poisons. They were inconsequential. I detected no such subterfuge, and calmly retook my position. I will not go easy on you. Rock Lee of Konoha. Jonin. Lieutenant General of the Seventh Army of Konoha. I am Chuhia Kokoro. Known as the Eclipse. I am not ranked among Orochimarus forces. I hold no rank as a shinobi from a village. My voice was its usual calm, but deep down, I could feel my desire to fight growing. It was not as strong as when I first met Orochimaru, but this one, he had fought, and strived to become strong. A completely different type of person from Orochimaru, who is brilliant and all things come easy to him. I see! Let us delay no more then! in an instant he had closed the distance to me, his weights left behind in the cloud of dust. I was a master of many things; I was feared for this reason. However, my most

beloved skill was in the art of hand-to-hand combat. I was not using my sword anymore, as it would slow down my strikes, even as I pushed the offender back, using his own momentum, he came back at me. I understood he would be like this. My fist and his collided, and I could feel a rapturous sting of pain, as I was the one pushed back. His hands were quite strong, his body was quite strong, and he knew the exact amount of force he needed to fight. I could see it in his face. In his eyes. There was only an instant where I could see it correctly, and because of that I sighed. You are holding back. I am as well. No more. It was then I showed him, I showed him why I was Orochimarus prized warrior. Someone that was feared throughout the elemental nations. I am Eclipse. Amaterasu. I am Uchiha. I was born long before even the founder of Konoha Madara was, but I left, and exile of my clan, for dabbling in the forbidden. I do not know how I became this way, one who lives, who continues on. All I know, is I am Uchiha Kokoro. The Eclipse of the Black Flame. The gathered forces all scrambled to get away, but Rock Lee moved, I suppose realizing the blast was too large, and instead defended his pupil from my attack. Many died. All expendable. Except for the ashen corpse of Rock Lee. One of Narutos closest friends, and even though peace between our forces would soon be made, I had to kill him. None would leave this battlefield alive. They had seen my secret, and it is one I intend to keep. [Across the Battlefield] A single figure watched the battle with acute interest, before slipping off. A dark chuckle coming from its large frame. Lord Madara will be pleased.

Eternal Template Eternals are an anomaly. People that have gained the mythical eternal youth. Even they could not tell you its exact source. Some say that you are born with this, a power of your destiny, some say that your deeds mark you as an Eternal or not. Some say it is random chance. There is no answer to this, as some have aged until they were old and decrepit only to wake up one morning as young as they were in their prime. Some appear as children, some in their middle age. Each time it seems to be a case by case basis. Eternal is either an Inherent template or an Acquired template that can be added to any humanoid creature, hereafter referred to as the base creature. There is no difference between them. Type: Outsider (Native) Although their type changes they may possess bloodlines, or any other templates they already possess, or could gain as if they were humanoid. Hit Points: Eternals always gain maximum Hit Points each level.

Abilities: +2 Constitution, +2 Intelligence. Eternals are hardy, and brilliant. Special Qualities: Fast Healing 5 (Ex) Immortal Brilliance: All Eternals are gifted learners, and can understand concepts better than most. They gain a +3 Insight bonus on all learn checks. However, their nature of taking their time, letting things flow means they always double the amount of time it takes to learn a technique, unless they spend an action point on the first learn check. Immortals Lament: Eternals live long lives, and slowly they begin to lose touch with the world around them. They begin to care less and less for the little things, and take the long view. They take a -2 penalty to all actions that do not pertain to one area of focus. (Such as Painting, Sculpture, Jutsu Creations, Learning, Combat, etc.) if they choose combat, they only are brought from their lament if the target is obviously skilled, or they are brought below one half hit points. All Eternals automatically lose this penalty at lower than one quarter hit points. An immortal may spend an action point to remove this penalty for a scene. If they spent an Action point of Immortal Brilliance then they also lose this penalty as well to that check, but not the whole jutsu learning process. Immortality: All Eternals are Naturally Immortal, and cannot die from Natural Causes. They do not age, and they do not need to eat, or sleep. The only way for an Eternal to die is through special circumstances, usually by being slain in combat. Once an Eternal gains this template they pick a particular age (they do not do this consciously; it is the choice of the player), and their body reverts to that age, forever more, any permanent damage is removed, any loss of limb, organ, or any other

problem of a physical nature that was gained after that age is restored. No effect can age them past that point when they will it or not. They lose all bonuses and penalties due to age. Immunities: Eternals are immune to Disease, and Poison of all kinds, unless it is a poison made of their own blood as one of the components. This type of poison, however always does Constitution damage, and the DC is increased by two against the Eternal. ECL: +3 (?)

Special: This feat can only be taken once, whether it is the Type 1 or Type 2 version, they can never take it a second time.

Blood for the Blood God I am Death. I am not some Shinigami, not some weak fool who breaths a mountain of flame, or freezes a city in ice. I am Death itself. One of the few left in this world you knows what it really means to be a warrior. I am Kazyuya of the clan called Jushiro. Jushiro Kazyuya. I am one the few who walk openly. I wear a worn traveling cloak, a straw traveling hat, light armor belonging to ashigaru, and a single blade at my hip. I am no ninja. I am no samurai. I am nothing more than a man. A man who has become death. I now march alone. I march towards my enemy. A force of samurai. I dont know, or care how many there are. I am made for battle. I am no tool. I serve no lord but myself. I am Death. I continue for days, stopping only for a bite, and a drink. I dont sleep while on the march. I continue. I walk, my wooden sandals cracking against the hard rocks of the path. I cant hide my smile as I can see them in the distance, my teeth showing, making me seem maddened. I stop and wait. I listen. Their steps give away their number. Two hundred of the land of Irons samurai. I lick my lips, a can taste the battle now. I am Death. They come to a stop, their leader moves ahead. What are you doing here? Are you a refugee? My laughter gives them pause, as I begin to show them my power. My aura oozes out of my body like a dark wave, slowly consuming the world around me in my own darkness. My power. They dont back down, and I smile. I am Death, named Jushiro Kazyuya.I am no refugee, I am the cause of orphans, maker of refugees, and dealer of agonybut none of that matters. I shift and so do they, preparing for a fight, many remain only slightly on guard, not believing me to be such a challenge. I see. Then you are an enemy of the Iron Samurai. With that the samurai and their leader charged at me, and I smiled. I didnt hold back as I cut straight through, killing twenty on the first dash all the way through their lines. Tch. I expected so muchMORE! then I spun around and charged again, and again. My Speed. My Power. They couldnt match up to me. I was like a god, and they like sheep to the slaughter. I was drenched in blood as I happily took their leaders armor and helmet. I was taking my spoils. The only intact suit of armor. As I walked away from the battlefield, a smile unseen on my face, a land of blood and bodies in my wake. I am Death. I spill blood in your name.

Skulls for his Throne I calmly watch the battlefields breaking down. It will not last. My call for ceasefire will only last as long as our mutual enemies exist. I cannot hope to wait too long. I have needs to attend, and a world to finish perfecting. My servants have collected for me several specimens, that have unique value. I will craft them into fine weapons for the next war. I wonder how long Naruto-kun will last? How long his rage will be held aside. He is a strong man, but I am the greatest genius in the world. Even the most devilish of lies can be seen through, and I have done so. It does worry me. I have never thought to encounter something such as this. Something soold. So powerful. I do have my most loyal living servants, and in some cases, I could call them partners, or equals. They too, however, know who is the boss. I have the money. I have the power. I calmly stand as I look out the high window of my personal base, and for once I can feel some of my thoughts slip from my grasp as I sense a figure behind me. A man who has sworn to kill me. A horrific opponent. One I would not face today, I could tell. It has been some time. Orochimaru. His voice held such distaste for my name, I also wanted to chuckle, but refrained. I turned to the masked shinobi, and smiled in a way he knew of all too well. This man was a Sage, much like my old teammate had been. This mans power however, was fundamentally different. He was also called, the Sage of Mount Hakurei, keeper of the eternal flame, and a dozen other titles. It has been some time indeed, my one-time student. I smiled as I watched his eyes turn cold. Strange to think that the sage of the Fire Dragons could have such a cold stare. I had stolen what was precious from him, and wanted him as a student. It worked for a long time, but he broke free. It was a saddening loss. A nearly fatal one. I wonder. What has caused this ceasefire? I know you have her. You stole her away. With child no less. You manipulated all of this. This war. The very world itself for your needs. I watched as did the others. Now I come for an answer. Why? Ku Ku Kuthere are some enemies that even I cannot face alone, Hanzo-kun. Look for yourself. And I rolled a scroll before him, and watch the shock in his eyes. This, is only the beginning.
