Masahige

KUNITSUKAMI 国津神
Kunitsukami is the name given to Masahige in reference to his total mastery over Earth Nature chakra. He is capable of multiple extraordinary feats, including casting a variety of Earth Ninjutsu with the exact chakra requirement met and reduced hand seals. In the case of most general Earth Ninjutsu, he can drop hand seals completely with little to no drawback on the performance and effectiveness of the technique itself.

The earth surrounding Masahige is constantly being affected by his chakra. Though his chakra itself is not unique, Masahige has developed a unique method of molding his chakra into the earth in order to make it an extension of himself, and as such allow him to manipulate it to his will. This is done in the same manner as Gaara of the Sand controlled his sand. Masahige can also change the earth in his immediate vicinity from being solid earth, to mud, or into tar at will.

Usually, Masahige is accompanied by multiple fist-sized spheres of mud or tar constantly encircling him from above.

TSUCHI NO EREMENTO 土のエレメント
Masahige is also highly regarded for a technique which makes him alternately regarded as an Earth Elemental. He can, at will, morph his body into different earthen substances. These substances range from solid rock, to mud, to tar, and more. In these different forms, he can manipulate his body in the same way that the Hōzuki Ichizoku from the Hidden Mist are able to manipulate their liquid body states.

KASEKI 化石
Fossilization is a space-time sealing technique developed by Kusunoki Masahige. When a target has been engulfed by a sufficient amount of earth, preferably mud or tar, a seal is placed on them that causes instant fossilization. The target remains perfectly preserved in a fossil prison until the sealing is undone, in which they will emerge completely unharmed. If the fossil is destroyed while something is sealed, that person or object will be destroyed as well.

JURASSIC TRANSFORMATION | A Rank
Jurassic Transformation is a technique taught to Masahige by Rekkusu, the Boss T-Rex. It is an ability that draws on natural energy, similar to Sage Techniques, in order to transform Masahige's body from a man into a dinosaur. This can be done either fully or partially. Because of the natural energy, Masahige's general abilities are increased beyond their usual limitations.

Partial transformations can be done in a variety of ways, either to give him razor sharp claws or teeth, or to grow a tail to slam into enemies or protect himself from an attacker. Full transformation gives Masahige the entire physical form of a Tyrannosaurus Rex, as well as an extreme increase in strength, speed, and durability. His full transformation doesn't cause him to grow in height, but it does internalize the weight of a fully grown T-Rex without reducing his speed.

Masahige's ability to perform ninjutsu is limited, although his mastery in Doton still allows him to perform some techniques without the use of hand seals. As such, even his short arms and the inability to form hand seals does not bar him from using any ninjutsu.

EARTHEN SENSORY | No Rank
Masahige has a unique type of sensory skill. His sensory abilities are directly linked to the earth, where he has the ability to detect most things within a five mile radius of himself as long as they are touching the earth itself. He is also aware of any shifting in the earth's surface within that radius, making him able to detect the use of earth-based ninjutsu or the destruction of landmass. Masahige does have to be touching the earth himself in order to make use of this sensory ability.

TECTONIC SENSORY | A Rank
Masahige focuses his sensory ability directly into the earth, and is able to detect the nearest tectonic plates and fault line.

FORBIDDEN EARTH STYLE: TECTONIC SHIFT | S Rank
After performing the proper hand seals, he slams his foot into the ground and uses his chakra to trigger a shift in the tectonic plates below, causing the creation of a natural earthquake. Masahige then can use his chakra to increase the magnitude of the earthquake to cause devastating effects. He is also able to increase the magnitude of the aftershocks.

The technique is also a double-edged sword, so to speak, as it doesn't differentiate between friend and foe. Using this technique is taxing on chakra, and noticeably decreases the usual level at which Masahige can perform in combat.

EARTH RELEASE SHADOW CLONE | No Rank
This technique creates a shadow clone made of mud of the user. Since its made of mud, it can continue to reform and mold itself back to its original shape. Once reverted to mud, the clone can serve as a powerful restraint that is capable of completely halting the opponents movements.

EARTH RELEASE: TAR LAKE | B Rank
Instead of creating small pits of tar, this technique creates a vast lake of tar (not asphalt) out of the surrounding earth. Skilled users are capable of creating winder and deeper lakes. Masahige is famous for turning an entire battlefield into tar.

EARTH RELEASE: EARTH-STYLE WALL | B Rank
The user creates a solid wall of earth as a form of defense. Chakra is either converted to earth within the body and then spat out to form the wall or the user can manipulate preexisting 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 a Kage-class shinobi it is possible to create a vast volume of earth.

EARTH RELEASE: TAR PIT | C Rank
This technique creates a pit of tar (not asphalt) within the user's range of sight. Like those naturally occurring, escape from this tar pit is unlikely once you've fallen in. Experienced users of this technique are capable of producing multiple tar pits.

EARTH RELEASE: EARTH FLOW RIVER
After forming the needed hand seal, the user transforms the ground underneath their opponent into a river of mud that throws them off balance and away from the user. The mud created by this technique can also be used as a medium for the Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet technique.

EARTH RELEASE: EARTH DRAGON BULLET
When used with Earth Release: Earth Flow River, this technique can create a dragon-like head to fire balls of mud at an opponent. This can also be combined with a fire technique to shoot searing hot rock towards an opponent.

TAR CLONE | C Rank
A clone made from tar. Because of the consistency, the clone can easily regenerate after being destroyed. The clone is also a capable means of trapping an enemy when reverted to tar.

TAR CLONE EXPLOSION | B Rank
Mixing the fire chakra nature into the Tar Clone, Masahige causes any Tar Clone to explode. The tar thrown around is extremely hot.

SUMMONING TECHNIQUE | C Rank
A space-time technique that allows the user to summon contracted creatures. Kusunoki Masahige holds Tyrannosaurus Rex summoning contract. He is capable of summoning the Boss T-Rex, Rekkusu.

ŌNAMAZU 大鯰 | B Rank
A giant catfish made of earth swims beneath the battlefield, occasionally causing mild tremors at the will of it's creator. At times, this catfish will emerge from the ground to swallow enemies whole and crush them within it's ever-shifting body. The catfish can be modified to safely carry a large number of passengers through the earth, if the creator so chooses.

A variation of this technique allows for multiple smaller catfish to be created and launched out of the earth as projectiles, slamming into the target(s) at high speed.

SARUTAHIKO NO SHUSHI Finger of Sarutahiko
土遁: 猿田彦の手指. S-RANKED. This method of manipulating the earth is for the most part forgotten. Instead, users manipulate the actual earth and not the energy of the earth. However, Banana learned from his sensei as a Genin about another form a Doton and as he grew, decided to research it ultimately coming up with this technique. Banana later taught this technique to Kusunoki Masahige.

This technique requires absolute chakra control and depending on what is being attempted huge reserves. So much chakra in fact that if an attempt is too ambitious, Masahige could die on the spot. After forming the needed handseals, a string of about thirteen seals, Masahige will slam his hand down onto the earth and flow his chakra down into the Dragon Veins, a flow of energy which govern the formation of mountains and earth. By influencing this energy, not the earth itself, Masahige is capable of performing near godly feats such as moving, or even flattening mountains. He can create valleys, giant craters or plateaus simply by manipulating this energy. This can even be used on a small scale to create small rocky landforms no larger than a man.

Doton: Gōremu no Jutsu 土遁・剛隷武の術
Earth Release: Strong Servant Warrior Technique
This technique allows the user to create a large, humanoid creature composed of rock that can either be expelled from the user's mouth or formed from a nearby, pre-existing source of earth. Depending on the user, the golem can be formed instantly.

The size of the golem differs depending on use, but it always possesses an ample amount of brute strength, being able to bite and tear through a White Zetsu clone. It is very durable, being able to withstand a point-blank explosion. This makes the golem ideal whether it be serving as additional support or simply as a mobile shield.

Doton: Chidōkaku 土遁・地動核
Earth Release: Moving Earth Core
This technique grants the user the ability to lower or raise the ground in the surrounding area, allowing them to create giant holes or elevations in the ground. The size of the affected area as well as the depths that it is lowered or raised to is also up to the user. With precise timing, this technique can be used to evade incoming attacks, as well as to endanger opponents by moving them into the path of an oncoming attack reducing their reaction time as well as knocking them off balance, making it even harder to avoid the attack. Other than being moved below or above ground — relative to the surrounding surface — the terrain is not altered as plant life and people retain their same positions when this technique is used.

Doton: Daichidōkaku 土遁・大地動核
Earth Release: Great Moving Earth Core
This technique grants the user the ability to freely lower or raise the terrain within a specific area surrounding them, in a similar manner to its parent technique, albeit on a much larger scale. This allows them to create giant holes or elevations in the ground, one of which was large enough to trap the Ten-Tails in.

Iwa Bunshin no Jutsu 岩分身の術
Rock Clone Technique
A clone that is created of rock, after it has been expelled from the user's mouth. Unlike other clones, ones generated by this method do not disappear when struck with sufficient force, but rather break apart.

Doton: Kaido Shōkutsu 土遁・開土昇掘
Earth Release: Opening Earth Rising Excavation
With this technique, the user can bring up on the surface something that is deep underground. The targets are launched in air with great strength and speed, the result of which has the appearance and nearly size of an erupting volcano. It can force a large number of soldiers hidden underground to resurface all at once.

Doton: Sando no Jutsu 土遁・山土の術
Earth Release: Mountainous Earth Technique
The user creates two enormous rock formations that close in on the opponent from two opposing sides with tremendous force, smashing everything caught in between. Both of these formations are capable of dwarfing even the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path in size.

SHARINGAN Copy Wheel Eye
写輪眼. UNRANKED. The Sharingan in the Kekkei Genkai of the Uchiha Clan, renowned as one of the San Daidōjutsu (Three Great Eye Techniques). A colloquial name for the Sharingan is the Tengan or Heaven's Eye due to some of the abilities that the Sharingan grants those who wield it. Unlike most Kekkei Genkai and even other dōjutsu, the Sharingan's power increases as its user uses it more and becomes more adept, unlocking the more evolved powers of the eye. The skill one has with the Sharingan is denoted by the amount of tomoe in the eye, one being the least and three being the most and the indication of mastery of the Kekkei Genkai. As such, the Sharingan has garnered the Uchiha a reputation as a clan of formidable power, even strong enough to wage war with the Senjū clan for so many centuries and not tire.

The Sharingan's power is traced from two properties: Dōsatsugan and Saimingan, the Eye of Insight and the Eye of Hypnotism, respectively. One ability granted to the user via Dōsatsugan is the ability to view chakra and the unique qualities of a given person's chakra. This allows one with the Sharingan to discriminate between one person and another by their chakra signatures. Granted from this chakra viewing ability is the ability to tell when one is under the influence of Genjutsu by reading the irregularities in chakra flow.

Dōsatsugan also grants a Sharingan-wielder an incredibly discerning eye capable of reading muscle movements. This allows them to read lips and mimic minute muscle movements. As one attains more tomoe, this ability extends to being able to track fast-moving objects before finally giving some amount of predictive capabilities to the user, allowing them to see the image of an attacker's next move from the slightest muscle tension in their body and counter-attack or dodge without any wasted movement. However, even though the user may be able to see an attack or know it is coming, their body may not always have time to react.

The third and most well known ability granted to a Sharingan-user from the Dōsatsugan is the ability to perfectly copy any technique it sees, with the exception of kekkei genkai. The user can memorize ninjutsu, genjutsu, and taijutsu with near-perfect accuracy, allowing the user to use the techniques as their own, or even modify them to create their own new techniques. The only limitation therein is that the user must have the skill to perform the copied technique.

The remaining abilities of the Sharingan are given to the user through the Saimingan. Through simply eye-contact, a Sharingan and put someone into a genjutsu and through such hypnosis influence the actions and thoughts of its target. Powerful users of the Sharingan can even use Saimingan's ability on stronger forces of nature such as the Tailed Beast.

Masahige was gifted with a single Shaingan eye from Uchiha Yahiko, which holds three tomoe. It is covered by an eye patch, same in style to Hatake Kakashi. After training, Masahige has accumulated decent skill in it's use.
