Techniques

**Aloy** (アロイ, *Aroi*), born **Aloy Megami** (女神 アロイ, *Megami Aroi*), is a genin kunoichi and a sensor-type shinobi hailing from Kumogakure's Megami Clan in the Land of Lightning. She is a student of Yarui and a member of Team Yarui alongside her teammate, Yasuke.

## Appearance

Aloy is a short kunoichi with long blonde hair that typically reaches her ankles. However, she is ordinarily seen with her hair tied up in a ponytail behind her back. She also has brown eyes.

Aloy wears a form-fitting fishnet under suit, with a maroon robe pulled over the top of her, and a black choker around her neck. A black strap around her waist holds the robe together and also hosts her sizable weapon's pouch. She appears to not wear the Kumogakure forehead protector anywhere on her person. She wears knee-length dark pants which contain shuriken and kunai holsters on her right leg. She also wears navy knee-high boots and black arm guards on either arm.

## Abilities

Aloy is a skilled kunoichi from Kumogakure. Her general aptitude for all manners of shinobi skills makes her special to her village. Despite her youth, she was chosen by her village as a candidate for promotion and sent to the Chūnin Exams to prove herself.

### Chakra and Physical Prowess

Aloy's best skill is her chakra control. She possesses average chakra reserves for a shinobi of her age and rank. However, her control of this chakra is impeccable. As a result, she is capable of using techniques that require a high degree of control and precision. She can also imbue her chakra into weapons to increase their efficiency. She also has the ability to sense chakra passively, making her an asset on missions.

### Ninjutsu

Because of the extreme degree of chakra control Aloy possesses, she has a natural aptitude for ninjutsu. She is able to preform all of the standard shinobi techniques, such as the Clone Technique and the Body Replacement Technique. She also has the ability to manipulate her hair with her chakra, hardening it into projectiles, spears, and even using it to bind her enemies.

#### Nature Transformations

Like most Kumogakure ninja, Aloy has an affinity for lightning-type chakra. She is able to combine these techniques with her Shumokuzame (撞木鮫; Literally meaning "Hammerhead Shark") weapon to devastating effect. For instance, with Lightning Release: Thunderbolt, she can project omnidirectional blasts of electricity from her weapons. She can also use Lightning Release: Thunderclap Arrow to project a stream of lightning at a specific target. She can also use these techniques with her hands in the standard fashion. Finally, by holding the mallet end of Shumokuzame to the sky, she can call down lightning to burn her surroundings to a crisp. Because she has some skill with chakra flow techniques, she can imbue the weapon with her lightning chakra to increase its cutting and impact power.

#### Fūinjutsu

Aloy has also shown some talent in the use of fūinjustu: the art of sealing techniques. For instance, she typically keeps Shumokuzame in a scroll in her weapon's pouch with the Enclosing Technique. She can then undo the seal whenever she needs to use the weapon. She can store other weapons and objects in this fashion, as well.
