Satsuki

**Satsuki Minase (みなせさつき, *Minase Satsuki*?)**, alias Ayako Aikawa, is the illegitimate clan heiress of the Minase Clan of the Land of Snow and flagged as a missing-nin of the Aikawa family of merchants, having abandoned those who were stationed to act as her guardians for yet unknown reasons. She is additionally descended on her paternal side from the Fujimoto civilian family of visionaries, known distinctly for an artistic mind and talent that pervades almost every aspect of their life from their skill with a forge to their natural tendency to be innovative, and their seemingly inherent talent with ink.

Satsuki is widely renowned as the fugitive referred to as the Land of Snow's ***Demon God of Ink (魔神の墨, *Majin no Sumi*?)'*** for her unique power over the substance as well as her unique style of fuinjutsu known as *Nensha (念写, *Thoughtography*?)*; her own unique creation enabling her to be able to immediately and effortlessly deploy seals in combat with a level of flexibility envied by the Uzumaki. Currently, Satsuki, not being directly affiliated with any known clan operates as a rogue mercenary, hoping to one day create her own clan.

## Backstory

**Birth:**Satsuki Minase was born to the current clan head of the Minase Clan, after their previous leader had stepped down from the position due to his age, speaking volumes of his own power. The current clan head, Minase Ayemi and the esteemed inventor Fujimoto Akira, had grown especially fond of each other in private, going so far as to sire a child. However, Ayemi had already been placed in an arranged marriage with the intention of boosting and empowering the clan's manpower by uniting the clan with a rival clan.

For the first few years of her life, Satsuki grew up as a proud member of the Fujimoto family, having learned the tricks of her father's trades. Ha

   ving inherited her father's artistic genius, Satsuki produced incredible works of art as well as learned engineering from her father, and aiding in creating unique forms of technology that helped solidify and accelerate the dramatic levels of progress found in the Land of Snow.

Unfortunately, such peace would not last, as the early years of her her childhood were quickly interrupted by the arrival of the Minase Clan and Ayemi's arranged husband, intent on securing their child as the future of the clan by eliminating any individual who could have a claim to the title of the head of the Clan. A living threat to the arranged future of the Minase household, Satsuki and by extension her father were considered to be targets worthy of elimination.

Under the guise of a raid on the village for it's resources and it's technology, the Minase Clan, masked and shrouded in non-distinctive clothing attacked the building. Satsuki, having been born with her inherent ink-based abilities attempts to protect her father, but as she is still just a child, she gets quickly dispatched and her hands deformed to add insult to injury as a major part of casting ninjutsu is reliant on the use of handseals.

Setting the building on fire and dispatching her father before her eyes, Satsuki is left for dead, and eventually passes out, unconscious. The next time she awakens, she is with a travelling merchant caravan of nomadic shinobi, her father's business associates and a group considered to be a neutral party. Changing her name and her identity, the Aikawa's financed and assisted her ability to become a shinobi by nurturing her unrivalled affinity to ink and the concepts of fuinjutsu and seals, a natural prodigy considered to be on par with if not outstripping that of a gifted Uzumaki child. Having created complicated seal arrays from childhood, and demonstrating the ability to seemingly create and naturally materialize seals into existence from any form of pre-existing ink or in the absence of that, her own chakra, Satsuki rapidly gained recognition for her actions in protecting the Aikawa family and their trade deals. Having invented one of the most flexible and adaptable forms of fuinjutsu in the world, Satsuki's own abilities were monstrous, and only appeared to grow, seemingly generating effects and mimicking abilities considered to be unique to bloodlines, or hiden techniques.

However, neutrality came with a cost, as the Aikawa were being put under fire for not selling to specific clans. In order to save the clan by expanding sufficiently that an attack on the tribe would not be something taken lightly, Satsuki suggested establishing strategic footholds in the Land of Snow and branch out to other islands to get access to resources and build up the tribe's population, and build allies and connections from powerful clans. However, with this going against the nomadic nature of the tribe, Satsuki went behind the leader's back to grab resources from a region of the Land of Snow that was considered to be the territory of a known, considerably more aggressive clan. While technically the clan themselves were not aware of the existence of these resources, Satsuki was considered to be infringing on their property, leading to a skirmish between herself and some of the more powerful members of said clan. Destroying them herself in a battle that left the battlefield coated black as tar down to the earth beneath the snow, and encased in an armor of ink, blood splattered across it, but none of it hers, for her actions Satsuki was referred to by the remaining members of the clan as the **Demon God of Ink**.
After returning the resources to the Aikawa covertly in the cover of the night, Satsuki left, where she would become a mercenary.

## Powers and Abilities

### Taijutsu

ically relies on a kick based art form and the use of ninjutsu in a pseudo-nintaijutsu form that combines various Seals and Ink Techniques. Through Ink Gauntlet Satsuki is capable of using her arms again, and since she manipulating it via ink the output of her arms is much greater than they would otherwise would be. Pretty strong due to training with weight seals and regimen so her crippled arms dun impede her more than they already do since she got legs, and pretty fast for the same reason. Not specifically a main aspect of her combat style, but competent enough to engage in it; if used typically it's almost always as a vector for ink techniques or fuinjutsu though. The output of her taijutsu attacks is notably quite powerful as it is combined with her ninjutsu.

### Ninjutsu

#### Elementary Techniques

* **Transformation Technique:**
* **Body Flicker Technique:**Typically not used in favour of ink based techniques.
* **Clone Technique:**Intersparsed with Ink Clones to fuck with people.

#### Ink Techniques

**Ink Techniques:**Satsuki was born with the unique natural ability to convert her chakra directly into a thick, viscuous ink like substance which; since being composed of chakra is capable of being directly utilized to form seals such as those utilized in Fuinjutsu as well as for the utilization of a unique form of Ninjutsu referred to as the Super Beast Imitation Scroll; allowing her to animate her ink. Thanks to this unique capacity for the generation of ink, through Nature and Shape transformation Satsuki has demonstrated incredible versatility by molding and shaping her ink into a variety of battle configurations as well as utilizing the unique properties of ink such as hardening and viscosity to create more unique techniques as well as create coloured variations of her techniques to fool even the most potent of visual techniques.

Through the use of these techniques; Satsuki has demonstrated the ability to rapidly inflict seals upon and seal others; smear them in ink or coating and covering their bodies in ink to prepare them to be sealed into it; immobilizing and pseudo-mummifying them. Ink when in the bloodstream in copious amounts is also known to be a potent poison, allowing her to become increasingly dangerous the longer a fight goes on.

* **Ink Sphagetti Technique:** By converting her chakra into ink, Satsuki then applies Shape Transformation onto her ink to create massive tendrils of highly dense, highly viscuous ink capable of grabbing her opponents and pinning them to nearby surfaces or tossing them, piercing or grinding through the bodies of her opponents or even be utilized supplementarily to lift excessively large and heavy objects for her. A highly versatile technique, Satsuki has demonstrated the ability to utilize various seals to greatly amplify the power of her tendrils; making them dramatically more dangerous, as well as the ability to utilize this technique for defense and mobility by pushing off from the ground with her tendrils for enhanced speed and utilizing her tendrils to form a nigh-"absolute defense" around her body much akin to a Shield of Sand; defending against attacks due to ther sheer size, power and speed of her tendrils.
	+ **Ink Mandate Technique:**Allows her to transform and combine her various tendrils into condensed limb like structures to strike her opponents with incredible force and seemingly engage in taijutsu without necessarily needing close-range combat. In essence, this looks like Satsuki is making use of Katakuri's Devil Fruit covered in Haki.
* **Ink Cannon Technique:**
* **Ink Clone Technique:**
	+ **Exploding Ink Clone Technique:**
* **Ink Bomb Technique:**
* **Ink Flesh Technique:**
* **Ink Hardening Technique:**
* **Ink Tsunami Technique:**
* **Ink Mist Technique:**
* **Ink Bullet Technique:**
* **Ink Gauntlet Technique:**
* **Octupus Ink Technique:**
* **Hiding in Ink Technique:**
* **Black Blood Technique:**
* **Ink Robe Technique:**
* **Execution by Ink Technique:**
* **Super Beast Imitation Scroll:**Notable drawings are:
	+ **Wyvern:** Satsuki has d   emonstrated the ability to draw and summon a Wyvern with near-photorealistic detail due to utilizing the Nensha inscription technique on her scroll of choice. As a result, Satsuki is capable of summoning a massive draconic creature with gargantuan wings and razor-sharp teeth. Due to the effect of the Demon Seal, Satsuki's Wyverns appear to demonstrate the use of powers that would appear to be more mythical than that which can typically be replicated. Her Wyverns demonstrate scale-like patterns of ink allowing them to tank much more damage than typical ink constructs as well as pseudo-rapid regenerative capabilities due to being formed from a combinaton of her scroll and the Demon Seal. In addition, they demonstrate vast supernatural physical might capable of whipping away or clawing at the most durable of structures. However perhaps most notably, Satsuki has demonstrated the ablity to allow her Wyverns to fire deadly attacks. By exhaling; her Wyverns have demonstrated the ability to cause the air to combust before them in a beam like pattern; possessing the corrosive effects of Demon Seal based chakra. They also fly at extreme speeds.
	+ **Polar Bear:**Satsuki has demonstrated the ablity to draw and summon a Polar Bear with simlar detail to all her drawings. Due to the effect of the Demon Seal they are much more durable than they'd typically be. Her bears are capable of moving at incredible speed as they accelerate over time as they run further distances, allowing them to track down any opponent by merely gaining momentum and lunging at their fore. They are also extremely physically powerful as with most bears, capable of pinning even the most powerful of shinobi.
	+ **Shark:**Animation with the Demon Seal becomes exceedngly bloodthirsty, becoming an incredibly great tracker capable of smelling the blood of a given target that Satsuki primes it for over great distances and will pursue them doggedly and at extreme speed. Has incredibly power teeth capable of shredding through her opponents and is well-suited for movement through water; making the use of any large-scale Water ninjutsu against her a dangerous risk.
	+ **Serpent:**Animation with the Demon Seal allows them to seemingly actively change the colouration of their ink to camouflage with their surroundings in a manner much similar to the Hiding in Camouflage Technique; which when combined with their silent movement allows them to sneak up on or surround an opponent by surprise. Being capable of binding and restraining others with their constrictive properties enabling her to establish seals on their bodies, their bites are similarly dangerous, injecting the bloodstream with vast quantities of corrosive ink causing deep poisoning.

### Fuinjutsu

* **Nensha:**Nensha is a term used to refer to Satsuki's unique Fuinjutsu style; as since her ink is completely composed of her chakra then she can instantanteously transmogrify it to any written seal in her arsenal; immediately being capable of utilizing her extensive skill in fuinjutsu in combat. Due to the control over ink, she can modify seals that she is no longer in contact with. While odd-numbered seals are typically more complex and require far greater levels of skill to create, Satsuki has made it so the actual strcuture, complexity, and true name of her seals are all odd; allowing her to disrupt any even numbered seal her seals come into contact with.
* **Sleeper Agent Seal:**Satsuki is capable of sealing a bit of her own chakra within another's body after adjusting for the person's chakra circulatory system, comparing this seal to a syringe or hypodermal needle. Through this techinique she can interface with a person's nervous system, effectively seeing through them and perceiving the world through their lens. However, this seal has numerous caveats: An enemy sensor can detect an additional chakra signature in the target, the seal is relatively unstable so is much easier to break than her typical seals so application must be discrete.

### Intelligence

* **Real smart, fuinjutsu expert, knowledge on clans, various types of techniques, the way tailed beasts work, invented several of her main seals and modified them all, learns on the fly and in the middle of combat.**
