Amane/Abilities

## Uzumaki

A detail she only learned of as a Chunin, Amane's history with her clan jutsu is an odd one to say the least. Having only discovered her clan after having resemblance to the sister of one of the king's guards who happened to be a powerful Uzumaki, the man had a blood test ran on the two of them to see if they were related. The results came back positive, and the two realized they were brother and sister.

From that point, the Uzumaki in question named Tomeiiemon had begun testing and training Amane. First unlocking her lackluster capability with chains, but having progressed this far, having skills with fuinjutsu, and an incredibly deep capability with ninjutsu and chakra control, they tried to take her training in a very unordinary direction. The teleportation jutsu, flying thunder god, of which requires a very high level of mastery for an Uzumaki, had begun their first goal for jutsu to master. The method at which this jutsu was forced onto her was with a tome, forced teleportation, and an intense survival situation in which Amane was dropped directly into Snow country. Due to her time there, missing, in which she could only return after she had figured out the jutsu, that became the first of the Uzumaki's arsenal that she mastered, albeit, the mastery came far later.

To this day, her prowess with the rest of the Uzumaki clan techniques are very shaky, with the Flying thunder god being about all she's confident with in the arsenal, though her practice with the Transfer technique has been promising.

## Kenjutsu

When she awoke, lost and alone so long ago, this was her saving grace. Her only skill that came natural to her, for whatever reason. Within the shack that her cage was, there were two blades, that became the training tools to her only method of hunting for the next years. Even to this day, twin sword style is her primary method of kenjutsu, taking on a very aggressive combat style, always ready for a followup parry to her reckless slashes, often imbuing the parrying blade with a chakra overload to help guarantee a disabling attack, or force some kind of sacrifice from the target.

Her style spawning primarily as a hunting method against other animals, she often would lower her upper body towards the ground in order to go for crippling blows rather than deadly ones, as well as to have the blades as her first line of defense directly in front of her. Now that she has to fight other shinobi, she doesn't lower her posture as much but carries a lot of the similar principles, aiming for disabling strikes to disarm or slow the opponent, especially due to the fact that she doesn't go for lethal strikes on people.

## Summons

Her summon is in the form of a wolf, albeit a very raggedy and grumpy thing, with the name of Kakuri. With his name origin being "Isolation" it's evident always that Kakuri was abandoned and pushed out of his pack, and always the runt when he was allowed others at all. Amane had no intention of taking on a summoning contract for power, but instead somebody to grow with, and seeing as to how she was always weak and looked down on by others, Kakuri was a very easy fit right from the start.

When the summoning contract was made, her first squad leader, Shinichi, was there to help the two, even having to teach Kakuri how to create the contract, something that was meant to come naturally for spirits. Most of the abilities Kakuri could grant Amane during combat weren't clear at all, leading to the two of them spending many many nights far away from others in order to study and train together to figure out what they were capable of alone, and especially together.

### Kakuri's Influence

This origin in how they grew the contract's power is also what lead Amane to realize how Kakuri's true capability wasn't in his physical strength, instinct, or senses, but truly within his mind. Kakuri very quickly became the brains of Amane's jutsu going forward, developing far more of her advanced concepts, albeit, she had to be the one to perform it as Kakuri couldn't perform many high level techniques on his own. It's also very common to see Amane speaking with the pup form of her summon for battle plans and general plans of action, her second opinion, especially nowadays due to most of her friends she'd ask instead, no longer being with us.

## Fuinjutsu

Despite her clan being Uzumaki, Amane's fuinjutsu didn't come naturally to her at all, and is likely the most shaky of all her skills. Her prowess breaking or even making strong seals is hardly there, and instead their primary usage with sealing is through combat seals placed across her blades in order to launch ranged projectiles or wires without having to reach into a pouch. Sometimes her right blade will also have a seal containing oil in order to ignite fires to be manipulated with fire Nintaijutsu, without the fire being chakra based in origin, in case of threats that can absorb chakra fire.

### Eclipse Seal

Amane's style in recent times has evolved to using quite a variety of weapons from a bow, to spear, to shield, in addition to her dual swords. Due to this, changing weapons on the fly, especially for her shield or bow has been problematic, and she looked into inventing a new type of seal to swap her weapons back and forth into different states. While experimenting on this she instead came across an existing Samurai seal that went by the name of "Hand seal" or often "Eclipse seal".

This seal has the ability to act as an "exit" and is used on her main hand. When chakra is sent into this seal, she can access one of her existing storage seals and deploy the item via that hand, instead of from the storage seal's normal exit. Dually, she can also use this hand to seal items back away into their original seals, allowing her to quickly shift her weapons during battle and have her whole arsenal at the ready.

*Usage of an Eclipse seal reserves 1 storage seal slot. Eclipse Seals can only access storage seals, not combat or summoning seals. Chakra is spent on usage of the seal.*
