Amatsumikaboshi is one of the first gods to ever exist, they were there before the first second passed when there was nothing but darkness in all of existence. It is believed that Amatsumikaboshi reached out with their left hand and created the stars, bringing light to the darkness for the first time. However without intending it, by creating the first stars and setting them within motion Amatsumikaboshi created the concept of space and time. They would watch silently for eons, keeping track of its everchanging flow as the first planets were made. Though they were not of their creation, Amatsumikaboshi took pity in the mortals of existence whom many lived in fear of time for death was always waiting for them. As an eternal being most would believe that they would not hold compassion for such things, being unable to understand the mortal plight. But Amatsumikaboshi knew all too well the sadistic nature of the clocks they watched. Eventually the god would become aware of a single planet and a group of people known as the Jōjikan whom seemed to hold a natural connection to the flowing rivers of time and understood all to well how frightening it could be. In their remorse for being its unintentional creator, Amatsumikaboshi would establish a bond with the clan and look after them just as they did the chronos of the universe. The Jōjikan would decipher the tongue in which their god spoke to them thanks to its blessing, realizing that it was a constantly changing alphabet affected by the flow of time itself. Its core would always be derived of the viewer's main language when reading however would be completely obscured and practically unreadable due to the seemingly random line, swirls, branches, curves and other designs which seemed to represent the countless different timelines and ways in which time could flow. The core main language that would be the only thing partially recognizable would be further encrypted due to how it was a mixture of the tongue in all its forms in time including innovations from the future the reader would not yet be aware of. Because of this it is impossible to write out the language without the use of special techniques that allows the ink to move and rearrange as the shifts in time affect the written word. Hearing the language and speaking it is easier than writing it but still practically impossible even with years of study as it is constantly being changed every second. Amatsumikaboshi would help the clan further their understanding of the workings of space and time as well as provide unique blessings to them for their worship.

## Abilities

### **Tongue of Time**

The first blessing the Jōjikan ever received from Amatsumikaboshi was the ability to understand the ever changing language the god speaks in. This is a blessing shared by all Jōjikan including those who are doomed to never experience their clan's latent powers and is often used for secret keeping and encryption efforts by the clan. Any attempts to affect the jutsu allowing the information to be in constant flux by the nature of the language will force the timelines in the wording to "converge" and make any reading material an undistinguishable blob of color.

    It must be noted this occurs on any information encrypted by the language, physical or electronical. Because the spoken word was created by a being from a higher dimension it is not supposed to be present in our 4th dimensional realm, because of this it has odd effects when spoken by a mortal tongue. The same varying representations of the shape of time that appear in its written form also materialize around the speaker. These shapes and lines however are rifts in higher dimensions overlapping our own and cannot be seen by normal or most special means. Because the rifts are purely natural, caused by Amatsumikaboshi's own primordial energy, they cannot even be seen by dojutsu or sensed by chakra sensory ninja. The one way to perceive them is by syncing with the higher dimensions they are forming in the same way one would sync to an alternate dimension to try and follow someone escaping to it. However the fact that they are HIGHER dimensions and not alternate ones like most other space-time techniques makes trying to do so extra strenuous. On top of this Amatsumikabosh is not merely a 5th dimensional being, they sit far higher in existence so the shapes and lines will appear at different levels, stopping at the 5th and not interacting with ours directly. This means multiple different syncs will have to be done just to be able to perceive every one. Because the Jōjikan can understand the spoken word they do not have to read the language as it appears in higher dimensions, however a different blessing bestowed upon them by Amatsumikaboshi allows them to sense their presence.

**Supreme Rhythm And Internal Clock**

   The second blessing the Jōjikan ever received gave them a natural superiority in rhythm and unique control over their internal clock. This blessing alone would help the Jōjikan achieve vast wealth as many of their clan members were natural musicians that had an understanding of melody like no other and could pull crowds from around the world even back in the dark ages of technology. Eventually the Jōjikan would realize this power extends further, giving them full control over their internal clock as well as circadian rhythm. A Jōjikan can fall asleep at the drop of a dime, and wake up with no alarm at any intended time with millisecond levels of accuracy without any side affects that can occur from abnormal sleep cycles or poorly timed ones such as grogginess. Just like the first blessing, all Jōjikan have access to this gift even if they never unlock the gifts of their clan.

**Space-Time Sensory**

The third and final blessing all Jōjikan would be gifted would be a 7th sense. Through their connection to Amatsumikaboshi the Jōjikan are capable of sensing changes in the flow of space and time as well as being able to experience the moving of surrounding photons like a current similar to the rivers of time. This allows a Jōjikan clan member to be able to sense everything that touches the light around them as well as any usage of space-time techniques. The size of the area of sensory is defined by the Jōjikan's skill. Any disruptions in the flow of time rush to the forefront of their senses, any ripples in space feel like a tingle in the back of the mind and all changes to the refraction and reflection of light within their proximity put shame to the byakugan's 360 degrees of vision. It must be noted that although changes in one's eyes may occur as this sensory alarm goes off, it is purely cosmetic and the blessing is not to be mistaken for a dojutsu. It is purely an extra sense similar to the 6th sense of chakra sensory. However, unlike chakra sensory which cannot be used in conjunction with molding chakra this blessing does not require chakra in any way and comes solely from Amatsumikaboshi directly warning the Jōjikan. Because of this, a Jōjikan may use chakra based techniques while this sensory is active however in order to go into chakra sensory mode a Jōjikan must temporarily sacrifice this blessing as to search for chakra is to try and find a deeper connection with the lifeforce of another which requires one to shut out Amatsumikaboshi as they focus. The blessing is instantly and unconsciously restored by Amatsumikaboshi the moment the Jōjikan leaves chakra sensory mode and invites the god's connection back. It is to be noted that chakra sensory skills have no affect on the distance of these senses and instead is defined by the Jōjikan's skill in space-time ninjutsu.

**Radiation Immunity**

The vast majority of the Jōjikan has forgotten the fact that Amatsumikaboshi was the god of light before all else and only unintentionally became the keeper of space and time in the process of their brilliance. Although their gifts of space and time manipulation to the Jōjikan were valuable, there were additional blessings to the three Amatsumikaboshi could bestow upon any they choose. However the danger the power poses to their mortal bodies has left the god weary of who to trust the gifts to. On the warm summer of 1117 AH while Amatsumikaboshi's stars shined beautifully in the night sky a boy by the name of Ataeko Jōjikan would be born. The god would sense potential in the mortal that far outweighed any in the clan they had ever seen before and the pure joy elicited by them at the time of the boy's birth would be what would cause the stars to shine even brighter for a split moment, leaving a myth to be born along with Ataeko.

    Amatsumikaboshi would reach out from the heavens and give the boy two unique blessings they had never dared bestow upon a mortal before, hoping the human would be capable of handling it. With a single touch the god would change the physiology of Ataeko, making his body a marvel of evolution for any medical ninja treating him. Containing several unique organs and special cells and mutations in the dna which are all designed to protect Ataeko from the harsh affects of Amatsumikaboshi's light. Although most people would have their dna structures ripped apart and several organs damaged as radiation poisoning kicked in and threatened death, Ataeko's body is uniquely designed to combat these risks. It must be noted however this healing power only protects from damage retained through radiation and that of the like and will not heal identical wounds caused through other means as its nature is not that of medical ninjutsu like other healing techniques and solely comes from Amatsumikaboshi's protection. It acts more like a specially designed ward/evolution that protects extremely well for what its designed for, but not everything. This blessing also automatically gives the target an affinity for the fire, wind, and lighting elemental releases that are required to use the Light Release Kekkei Touta but unlike other blessing which can be given at any time, this must be done at birth to avoid risk as the older the person is the harder it is on the body to accept the change, especially to that of the stem cells.

**Divine Favor**

The other ability Amatsumikaboshi entrusted to Ataeko was the most powerful and most dangerous for his mortal body. Now matter how much the god could change the physiology of the Jōjikan there is little they can do to completely assure their safety. This is why Ataeko is the first and only the receive the blessing so far. This power, is Amatsumikaboshi's that in and of itself which is what makes it dangerous. There is a primordial energy that seeps out from Amatsumikaboshi. This energy is older than chakra itself and has the profound ability to break down and absorb chakra and other energies as it radiates throughout space-time. Although the energy can easily tame yin and yang energies it has difficulty breaking the bond between the superior yet rare yin-yang that uses the two energies simultaneously in perfect balance. The energy is also only able to permeate the dimensions through space-time and radiation, because of this and its ancient nature it can only affect natural energy in the form of radiation. Natural energies beyond that such as sound cannot be broken down or absorbed and when it comes into contact with senjutsu chakra it only removes the chakra half mixed inside. This gives Sages and Yin-yang users a distinct advantage against it however it is still not to be underestimated.

    Ataeko acts as a medium whenever the blessing is active, allowing the energy to flow through and be able to be molded into the Jōjikan's chakra and energies. This blessing when active will give techniques by the wielder a distinctive glow, making elements and materials that are already luminous shine even brighter. The mortal body however is not designed to handle this as while his body acts as a conduit for the energy it is slowly damaged. In a similar way to how failure to control nature energy when forming senjutsu chakra can become lethal, the divine chakra if not handled carefully will start to turn the entire body into intangible light. Although there are light techniques that do this on purpose for defensive reasons, if it occurs while this blessing is active it is a sign to stop and let the body recover before using any more divine chakra. If the warning signs are not heeded, the entire body will eventually become intangible and once this is done the victim is broken down into nothing but photon particles and cast into the rivers of time as they fade away. Although Amatsumikaboshi has done everything they can to make Ataeko far more receptive of this primordial energy compared to all others it is still a risk the mortal takes every time this is used. Because it is Amatsumikaboshi molding the divine energy as its sent through Ataeko, the Jōjikan does not have to perform hand seals for any technique infused with this power and often simply speaks in Amatsumikaboshi's tongue or prepares a mental image to signal the action.
