Sasuko

*"..."* -*Sasuko*

**Sasuko** (差す子; Pour Child) is a missing-"nin" from a Yukigakure and a member of the Akatsuki sub-organization Yaksha.

## ***Abilities***

### **Shokuka Mark**

Through a series of misadventures Sasuko has acquired herself a Shokuka Mark which has endowed her spiritual and physical energy a permanent change of properties which makes them exhibit the properties of Yin chakra even before nature transformation is applied to them. Because of the effect of the Shokuka mark all of her abilities are fundamentally altered as are her limitations and capabilities as a shinobi making her an unorthodox combatant.

Sadly because the Shokuka mark has tainted her physical energy with yin properties her appearance was shifted to a more monstrous form resembling something more like an oni. This would normally be a problem to blend in if the Shokuka mark didn't make it incredibly easy to use Yin Release to change her appearance and maintain this transformation near indefinitely.

### **Taijutsu**

Sasuko is well versed in the use of Taijutsu, especially Bukijutsu (武器術, Literally meaning: Weapon Techniques) which relies on the usage of weapons and more importantly **armor**.

Notably Sasuko's taijutsu prowess and overall physical and sensory attributes are increased by her physical energy being tainted with Yin properties making it so she is able to ignore some of the limitations of biology, working on a more thematic and spiritual level than pure biological level. It is because of this that Sasuko is able to demonstrate a supernatural visual prowess and combat prowess that is unexpected for a ninja of her supposed level.

### **Ninjutsu**

#### **Inton**

**Inton** (陰遁, Yin Release) is Sasuko's preferred nature transformation because it is both her natural affinity but also because the Shokuka Mark has tainted both her spiritual and physical energy with Yin properties before they are even converted into chakra which allows her to essentially *double up* on the power and effect of **Yin Release** techniques without the extra expenditure of chakra.

The following are techniques Sasuko is able to use:

* **Inton: Raikirie** (陰遁・雷切絵; Yin Release: Lightning Cutout) - Is the signature technique of Sasuko taught to her by ???, it is a unique Yin Release based on the infamous Sage Art: Yin Release Lightning Dispatch technique in that it uses purely Yin Release to create "lightning" from the imagination of the user and shape the path of this "lightning" using nothing but the mind. The lightning generated doesn't actually electrocute but rather it slashes and stabs and lacerates functioning a lot more like a wind release technique than lightning in both the speed of the technique and the damage it inflict. Notably it possesses none of the elemental advantages or downsides of a wind release technique. The lightning generated looks very particular as it behaves like the animation technique of Unmoving Plaid as it traces out a theoretical origami paper design.
* **Inton: Washi** (陰遁・和紙; Yin Release: Japanese Paper) - A yin release technique which Sasuko uses to disguise her horns and her physical appearance to any kind of appearance she desires by effectively creating an illusory disguise around herself. Sauko must expend chakra to maintain this disguise but not a tremendous ammount since it is entirely illusory instead of actually altering the user's body in any way.

#### **Shape Transformation**

Because of the Shokuka Mark Sasuko is able to perform pseudo-Yin Release techniques with nothing but pure shape transformation being applied unto the chakra, because of this Sasuko is able to use weaker versions of all her Inton techniques at a much faster rate because she can skip the nature transformation parts.

* **Shidori** (紙­­鳥­, Paper bird) - A weaker version of her **Inton: Raikirie**, which Sasuko uses as a melee jutsu by compressing and keeping the "lightning" around her hand instead of releasing it. Because she keeps all the lightning close to her hand compressed she makes up for the lack of power by focusing it all in one point when striking. When the user uses this technique in movement the lightning will often trail behind the user like 2 wings, earning it its name.

##### ***Ōyamatsumi***

**Ōyamatsumi** (御野魔津身, Honorable Wild Demon with a Haven like Body) is a special family of technique developed by Sasuko in an attempt to replicate the Susanoo technique. While it is a replication of the Susannoo it is not a copy in that it functions very differently and is much weaker than it by default. Notably like the Susanoo it has many stages, abilities and forms but unlike the Susanoo the method of acquiring and using these are not Dojutsu based and rely on standard ninjutsu use.

* ***Ōyamatsumi*** (御野魔津身, Honorable Wild Demon with a Haven like Body) - This technique relies only on shape transformation of the highest degree and the yin properties of Sasuko's chakra even before using nature transformation to generate the skeletal system of a demon for defensive, offensive and utility purposes by abusing the semi-intangibility of the generated matter. She is able to generate individual parts of the skeletal system, is able to make them at varying sizes and is capable of moving them as well as if the bones had muscles around controlling them. By default when she generates a part it will be relative to her as if she was located inside the chest cavity of this skeleton but she is capable of changing the place a part appears and even generate multiples of the same part. This state is known as the **Skeletal Ōyamatsumi** regardless of how complete the skeleton is.
	+ **Ōyamatsumi - Ashura** (御野魔津身・阿修羅, Ōyamatsumi - Warrior Demon) - A technique which builds upon the proper Ōyamatsumi and allows one to generate excess parts that the normal skeletal system would not possess, such as extra heads, arms or ribs. By using this technique Sasuko is able to increase both the defense provided by the normal Ōyamatsumi's ribcage and increase its offense and utility by generating extra arms, hands and heads.
	+ **Inton: Vajra** (陰遁・金剛, Yin Release - Vajra) - A technique which uses the same principles of Ōyamatsumi to generate the weapons of the demon, it takes the shape transformation to a whole new level allowing Sasuko to create a sword of chakra of varying size to have Ōyamatsumi wield. This technique must be used separately from normal Ōyamatsumi because of the nature transformation but because it synergizes with it, it is classified as a Ōyamatsumi technique. Learning to fuse Yin Release with the normal Ōyamatsumi is Sasuko's current goal to achieve the next stage **Humanoid Ōyamatsumi**.
* ***Inton: Ōyamatsumi*** (陰遁・御野魔津身, Yin Release: Ōyamatsumi) [Not Yet Achieved] - A straight improvement on the normal Ōyamatsumi allowing it to enter the **Humanoid Ōyamatsumi** form where it gains not only musculature but clothing as well. By applying Nature Transformation the power and defense of Ōyamatsumi is increased many times over and it is now able to generate the Vajra sword without the need of a special jutsu after its generated.
	+ **Inton: Ōyamatsumi - Ashura** (陰遁・御野魔津身・阿修羅, Yin Release: Ōyamatsumi - Warrior Demon) [Not Yet Achieved] - The normal Ashura technique but used on the humanoid Ōyamatsumi, if new limbs are created each of them are capable of generating their own Vajra sword.
	+ ***Inton: Ōyamatsumi - Isō*** (陰遁・御野魔津身・威装, Yin Release: Ōyamatsumi - Majestic Attire) [Not Yet Achieved] - A technique that applies the clothing of Ōyamatsumi around an entity other than the demon itself. Sasuko is able to use this technique to essentially compress all the power and defense provided by Ōyamatsumi into a smaller more manageable form for her to use in combination with her taijutsu. She is also capable of granting this "cloak" to others.

### **Genjutsu**

As a user of Yin Release and possessor of a Yin Nature affinity Sasuko is able to use Genjutsu and is knowledgeable in how to break it.

* **Tsukuyami** (月闇, Moon Darkness) - A special genjutsu that Sasuko casts on herself which prevents her from being targetted by other genjutsu or cancels any genjutsu already affecting her. This jutsu is often used when Sasuko has time to prepare before battle.
