Kazuu Info Card

Name: Body Replacement Technique
Rank: E-rank
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: None
Range: Mid (7m)
Handseals: Tiger → Boar → Ox → Dog → Snake
Description: With this technique, users replace their own body with some other object, generally with a block of wood, the moment an attack lands. This creates an optical illusion, making the enemy think the attack was successful. From this, the user can use the lapse in the enemy's attention to attack or flee from the battlefield. Explosive tags can be attached to the replacement for an added surprise. It's a basic ninjutsu even taught at the Academy, but it's a useful art that can be applied in variety of situations.

Name: Clone Technique
Rank: E-rank
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: None
Range: Clone can travel up to 10m from user
Handseals: Ram → Snake → Tiger
Speed: Clones move at same speed as user
Description: A ninjutsu that creates an intangible copy of one's own body, without any substance. Since the clone itself doesn't have the ability to attack, and thus can only be used to confuse the enemy, it is mainly used in combination with other ninjutsu. It's a basic technique, but depending on one's ingenuity, it can be used effectively. The clones may not dissipate when they come into contact with something. These clones can be easily distinguished by persons with dōjutsu. A person with normal eyes can also distinguish the clones from the original, since the clones do not have shadows and will not disrupt the area around themselves with their movement (i.e. won't kick up dust, crush grass, etc.).

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

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

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

Name: Body Flicker Technique
Rank: D
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: N/a
Range: -
Handseals: Ram
Speed: Boosts user's Speed by 30
Description: The Body Flicker Technique is a high-speed movement technique, allowing a ninja to move short to long distances at an almost untraceable speed. To an observer, it appears as if the user has teleported. A puff of smoke is occasionally used to disguise the user's movements. It is accomplished by using chakra to temporarily vitalise the body and move at extreme speeds. The amount of chakra required depends on the overall distance and elevation between the user and the intended destination. (May not initiate an attack until the next post. This applies to all techniques akin to this jutsu.)

Name: Temporary Paralysis Technique
Rank: D
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: N/a
Range: -
Description: A technique that physically restrains an opponent, as if the opponent had been tied in invisible steel ropes. It debilitates the victim for a short period of time, which allows the user to either strike again, or take the target into custody. This is a D-rank ninjutsu where the intensity will vary greatly according to the user's level of skill. The technique can also be cast on every target at once, depending on the user's skill.

Name: Water Release: Hiding in Mist Technique
Rank: D
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Water Release
Range: Short to Mid range
Description: This displacement technique is a speciality of the ninja from Kirigakure, where one causes a mist to spring forth by lifting up some water from either a pre-existing source or expelled from their mouth,then goes in and out of sight at will from within the pearly-white realm. The mist's thickness is controlled by the amount of chakra kneaded into it. It can't fool the Byakugan, but, due to the mist being created with the user's chakra, any Sharingan and Rinnegan-user will see the mist coloured by their opponent's chakra, which will effectively hide the user from the doujutsu.

Name: Earth Release: Double Suicide Decapitation Technique
Rank: D
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Earth Release
Range: Short
Description: This technique conceals the user underground and drags the object of their attack down into the earth, robbing them of their freedom, leaving them completely unable to move after they're underground. In addition, they can start another attack. This technique is normally used for torture, by cutting into the enemy's neck after it was used.
Requirements: User must have Earth Release

Name: Water Release: Hiding in Mist Technique
Rank: C
Type: N/A
Element: n/a
Range: Short to Mid range
Description: As the name suggests, this technique is simply a soundless method of killing an opponent, usually from behind with a blade. Additionally, because the user moves silently, the attack cannot be anticipated and defended against. The user will often slit their opponent's throat, preventing any cry that might give them away. Some shinobi also opt to use a cover such as mist or even frost to rob their opponents of their field of vision and then attack them.

Name: Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique
Rank: C
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Fire Release
Range: Short-range
Description: A technique where chakra kneaded inside the body is converted into fire and expelled from the mouth either as a massive orb of roaring flame or as a continuous flame-thrower. The scope of the attack is altered by controlling the volume of chakra that is mustered. The released flames will engulf their target, and leave a crater in the ground's surface.

The Uchiha clan uses this technique as a "coming of age" rite, and as such, is a common and favoured technique amongst them.
Requirements: User must have Fire Release.

Name: Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique
Rank: C
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Fire Release
Range: Short-range
Description: This technique creates a volley of small fireballs, which are sent flying in an unpredictable manner assaulting the enemy. In addition, the flames are controlled individually with chakra, so avoiding them all is extremely difficult. Shuriken can also be concealed within the flames, creating an unexpected secondary surprise attack. Like the flames, the shuriken can be controlled with chakra. For the most part, however, this technique is used as a distraction.
Requirements: User must have Fire Release.

Name: Wind Release: Vaccuum Blade
Rank: B
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Wind
Range: 40m
Description: The user exhales wind-infused chakra onto a weapon in order to increase its sharpness, range and letal efficiency. For example, the user can infuse a kunai to resemble a makeshift scimitar or infuse shuriken to increase their range and cutting power.

Name: Wind Release: Vacuum Wave
Rank: B
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Wind
Range: 40m
Description: Taking a deep breath, the user does a quick spin while simultaneously blowing out, compressing the released air into a thin solitary blade of wind. Within six meters, it can bifurcate human flesh and bone. Beyond six meters, it can inflict wounds two-inches in length.

Name: Shadow Clone Jutsu
Rank: B
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: N/A
Range: Can be anywhere in the same country as user
Handseals: Clone seal
Speed: Clone moves at same speed as user
Description: Similar to the basic clone technique, this technique creates copies of the user. However, these clones are corporeal instead of illusions. The user's chakra is evenly distributed among every clone, giving each clone an equal fraction of the user's overall power. The clones are capable of performing techniques on their own and can even bleed, but will usually disperse after hit by a strong enough force. The clones can also disperse on their own or be dispelled by the user of the technique. Shadow clones can't be distinguished from the original with Sharingan, Byakugan, or Rinnegan.  Shadow clones also seem to be able to think for themselves and feel the original's pain to some extent.

Name: Lightning Release: False Darkness
Rank: B
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Lightning
Range: 40m
Description: The user emits lightning in the shape of a spear from its mouth, which then pierces the enemy. Its destructive power is great enough to even pierce through rock; meaning it has a high killing potential. The user can increase the number of spears to attack multiple enemies. This, coupled with the sheer speed of the lightning, makes it a difficult technique to evade. This technique is capable of being focused into a straight beam, similar to a laser.
Requirements:

Name: Lightning Release: Lightning Beast Running Technique
Rank: B
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Lightning
Range: 40m
Description: By manipulating lightning chakra into their hand, the user can make the lightning expand to create the form of a hound. The hound remains connected to the user's hand, allowing them to control it during its attack.
Requirements:

Name: Lightning Release: Lightning Strike
Rank: B
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Lightning
Range: 40m
Description: The user creates an electric current that can hit multiple individuals at the same time. Furthermore, it can avoid obstacles in the way by bending its shape.  
Requirements:

Name: Earth Release: Earth Spear
Rank: B
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Earth Release
Range: Short
Description: The user flows chakra through all parts of their body causing it to become noticeably darker, which increases their defensive power to its utmost limits by making the skin as hard as diamond, easily capable of withstanding most attacks with little to no damage. As a result the amount of techniques that can break through the areas hardened by the Earth Spear are close to zero, excluding its undeniable weak point: Lightning Release ninjutsu. Furthermore, the destructive power of physical attacks is increased, making this a great all-purpose technique (+ 20 to Durability and Strength).
Requirements: User must have Earth Release.


Name: Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall
Rank: B
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Earth Release
Range: Short-range
Description: The user creates a solid wall of earth as a form of defence. Chakra is either converted to earth within the body and then spat out to form the wall or the user can manipulate pre-existing earth to form the wall. The earth then instantly rises up and takes form. The barrier itself is also coated with chakra, making its strength incomparable to that of a normal mud wall. Because of the earth's special characteristics, the wall is highly resistant against, for instance, fire and water. Also, for an Kage-class shinobi it is possible to create a vast volume of earth. 
Requirements: User must have Earth Release.



Name: Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Flower Nail Crimson
Rank: B
Type: Ninjutsu/Bukijutsu
Element: Fire Release
Range: Short to Mid Range
Description: The user unleashes a volley of shuriken with one hand, and at the same time, exhales fire-infused chakra onto them in order to increase the weapons' destructive potential by making them capable of inflicting severe burns upon direct contact with either the intended victim, or any other object caught within their trajectories.
Due to the chakra-based nature of the flames that surround them, the shuriken will continue to burn after impact, regardless of the flammability of the object that they ultimately collide with.
Requirements: User must have Fire Release.



Name: Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique
Rank: B
Type: Ninjutsu
Element:
Range: All ranges
Description: The user compresses a large amount of chakra built up inside their body and changes it into a dragon head-shaped fireball. The user then skillfully manipulates that great fire, and attacks their opponent. Even outside of the attack range, its power and reliability are stressed. The flames have a high temperature, which can create an upward movement of air currents which in turn can give rise to thunder clouds. A master of this technique can fire off several flames in succession and anyone caught in the technique could potentially be reduced to ashes.
Requirements: User must have Fire Release.


Name: Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet
Rank: B
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Fire Release
Range: Short to Mid range
Description: The user kneads their chakra into flames, which are then manipulated into a genuine-looking dragon. Since the art of having the flames obey the user's will is outrageously difficult, its mastery is restricted to a limited number of skilful shinobi. The flames are divided to launch a left side, right side, and frontal assault in all three directions at once, turning the enemy into ash in a matter of seconds. Or it can be as a high-pressure stream of fire, which has no definitive shape. It would also seem that, by increasing the output of chakra to the flames, they become hotter and appear whitish in colour. 

Requirements: User must have Fire Release
