[atrb=style, width: 350px; background-image: url(http://i.imgur.com/dDxps.png);][atrb=valign,top] Shinpachi is a exceptional shinobi even for his young age, a quality attributed to his lineage which has brought many genius-level shinobi into the world. Trained by his father who is the sole heir to the Hatake family and his father's repertoire of skills, Shinpachi boasts an impressive skillset himself already, some taught to him and some invented by himself. His primary skill set revolves around offensive attacks utilizing the earth element typically coupled with superb taijutsu while his secondary skill set revolves around support-type skills and tactics, usually dealing with distraction and stealth. COMBAT SŌSHURIKEN NO JUTSU ■ CONTROL SHURIKEN TECHNIQUE ■ 操手裏剣の術 ■ D With this technique a translucent string, both elastic and highly durable, is attached to a shuriken, making it possible to alter its path after having thrown it. An expert will have the ability to freely glide the shuriken in any direction with just a single movement of their fingertip. The first attack, challenging the enemy, is avoided and after a time-lag of several seconds, it will come from behind. Depending on the performance, the possible tactics can be infinite. TAWAMI NO JUTSU ■ DEFLECTION TECHNIQUE ■ 撓の術 ■ D This shurikenjutsu is only possible due to Shinpachi's superb ability in the field. By being carefully able to calculate shuriken or kunai trajectories on the fly, Shinpachi is capable of throwing a secondary projectile which hits the primary in such a way as to alter its path, often times in the direction of his target. This allows him to confuse his opponent by making them think he is aiming one place while he is actually intending to hit another. TSUCHI NO JŌKA NO JUTSU ■ PURIFY EARTH TECHNIQUE ■ 土の浄化の術 ■ C Utilizing this technique, Shinpachi is capable of purifying the minerals within the earth to produce metals of various sorts varying from iron to even steel. This technique is highly versatile and is capable of producing a variety of weapons or armors as well as serving defensive and offensive means. The utilization of this technique is heavily chakra dependent. Utilizing chakra more efficiently will produce purer metals and utilizing more chakra will produce more metal. BUSŌ NO JUTSU ■ ARMAMENT TECHNIQUE ■ 武装の術 ■ C Utilizing Tsuchi no Jōka no Jutsu, Shinpachi is capable of producing armor and weapons of any sort composed of any metal should he undergo the chakra requirement to make and mold the metal in accordance with its chakra cost. These metals, crafted by chakra, are capable of being further manipulated by other metal techniques though Shinpachi is yet incapable of doing so at his current skill level. SUPPORT FUKUWA NO JUTSU ■ VENTRILOQUISM TECHNIQUE ■ 腹話術の術 ■ D This technique is used to confuse opponents and possibly gain information. After hearing a given voice once and committing it to memory, Shinpachi is capable of replicating the voice. Making the dragon handseal and channeling chakra to his vocal cords, he can alter the vibration of the cords and produce the desired voice. When coupled with the henge technique, this can produce a very useful means of disguise. Another application allows Shinpachi to throw his voice as to confuse his opponent as to his actual location.
