Teien Oyama

*"Yes, it's me the lady of dust. Who's asking, I can't see very well anymore..."* -*Teien*

**Teien Oyama** (庭園 王山; Garden King-Mountain) is the **Third** and **Current Tsuchikage** (土影; Earth Shadow) and the former Jinchuriki of the 4 Tails **Tailed Beast**.

## ***Personality***

### **Quirks**

* **Unmovable Calm**: Teien is said to have never experienced stress in her life and this is why she has managed to live upwards of 150 years and ruled Iwagakure for many many generations of ninja.

## ***History***

### **Background**

The direct descendant of the first Tsuchikage Ishikawa Oyama Teien was always destined for greatness in her childhood, being born with 3 chakra natures and a prodigious talent for all 3 she became a jonin at an incredibly young age and inherited the position from the second Tsuchikage when she died in battle against a rampaging 8 tails jinchiruki.

## ***Abilities***

### *Taijutsu*

Teien in her old age is not very capable of using Taijutsu due to her old and weakened body but she was said to have been a master in her youth.

### *Ninjutsu*

#### **Earth, Fire and Wind Style**

Teiei was known famously as the **Lady of Dust**, having earned her nickname (originally) because of her prowess with earth, fire and wind release which apparently, shattered boulders to dust, burnt everyone to dust and conjured unprecedented dust storms with a single hand sign. Her skill in nature transformation was at once thought unrivaled in the 4 villages because of her later invention of a **Triple Element Fusion Release**.

#### **Dust Release**

**Dust Release** (塵遁, *Jinton*) is nature transformation "unique" to Teien and it is a once thought impossible fusion of three elements, namely: Earth, Fire and wind. Using Dust Release Teien is able to generate glowing geometric shapes that can expand to large size and when enough time passes everything contained within their area will be destroyed at the molecular level and rendered into inert particulate matter.

Teien supposedly invented this technique to fight against rampaging Tailed Beasts and to destroy fortified structures built on territory which threatened her village. It is very chakra intensive to use and requires a large ammount of build up so it's not typically very effective in combat but can prove absolute devastating in war changing the tide of war in a few seconds.

#### **Lava Release**

A skill she inherited from being the former Jinchuriki of the 4 tails, Teien is still capable of using **Yōton** (熔遁, Lava Style) although not as well as when she was a jinchiruki. Her specific style of Lava bending is the most basic type where she will generate molten rock for defensive and offensive purposes, enjoying being very straight forward about it.

### *Genjutsu*

Teien is experienced with using and dealing with Genjutsu, however as a Iwagakure Ninja she does not particularly enjoy its use.

## ***Former Abilities***

### *4 tail Jinchiruki*

Teien was once the jinchuriki for the 4 tails and once had the abilities associated with a jinchuriki, she has since lost these abilities but has retained the knowledge of hos to use Lava Release since her natures are compatible with it.

## ***Trivia***

* This character is portrayed by **Toph Beifong** from Avatar.
