Ishita

**Ishita** (*Kanji*: **石板**; *English*: **Stone Slab**) is a B-rank criminal from the Land of Stone, a missing-nin from Ishigakure, and a member of Yaksha.

## ***Profile***

### *Background*

Ishita was not born as a villager of Ishigakure or any other village of shinobi; as such, Ishita was raised as a civilian rather than as a shinobi...

...until Ishigakure's started to lose missions. Ishigakure's lack of missions caused a shortage of funds for Ishigakure's village head to pay salaries with and a shortage of work for Ishigakure's shinobi to earn wages with; consequently, many of Ishigakure's shinobi began to desert from Ishigakure and join or start groups of mercenary ninja. In response to the desertions, the village head abducted Ishita and others and then conscripted them into Ishigakure's military. Subsequently, after training them in a bit of jutsu and martial arts, the village head had Ishita and others raid some of the villages of other countries for both people to conscript and supplies to steal.

Eventually, after a decade of being a conscript and during a battle between Ishigakure shinobi and Konohagakure shinobi hired to stop Ishigakure's raids, Ishita managed to desert from Ishigakure. Subsequently, Ishita would journey across the continent as she worked as a mercenary ninja by herself and for herself. During her journey, Ishita discovered that it had been the Land of Stone's daimyō whom had deprived Ishigakure of its jobs and thus instigated Ishita and others' conscription. Incensed by this discovery, as vengeance for all of Ishigakure's conscripts and herself, Ishita assassinated the Land of Stone's daimyō. Consequently, Ishita became a major criminal rather than just a minor deserter.

## ***Abilities and Equipment***

### *Equipment*

#### **Kunai**

Ishita's weapons-of-choice are kunai with a blade composed of a special metal, grip which is wrapped in an explosive tag, and a hollow pommel which has a sachet attached to it.

Notably, each of the kunai's sachets contain a allomone- and pheromone-like hallucinogen which is able to induce a hallucination via interaction with the endocrine system. As such, just by flying by a creature, a kunai is able t expose a creature to the hallucinogen and thereby induce a hallucination with the creature. In addition, it's possible to detonate the kunai's explosive tag in order to disperse the hallucinogen throughout an area and thereby induce a hallucination within every creature within that area.

### *Genjutsu*

#### **Perfume Technique**

**Perfume Technique** (*Romaji*: **Kōsui no Jutsu**; *Kanji*: **香水の術**) is a genjutsu which allows one to alter the composition of one's perspiration and thereby convert one's perspiration into an allomone- and pheromone-like hallucinogen. Subsequently, the hallucinogen will diffuse throughout one's environment and then induce a hallucination within any creature whom inhales it. The hallucination's contents are determined by one as one casts the genjutsu; as such, the hallucination is customizable and thus variable.

Notably, this genjutsu does not function through interaction with the chakra pathway system of its victims. But rather, this genjutsu functions through interaction with the endocrine system of its victims. As such, this genjutsu is able to bypass most defenses against genjutsu. As most defenses against genjutsu protect the chakra pathway system rather than the endocrine system.

### *Hand Sealing*

Ishita is capable of forming hand seals at high speeds and with just one hand. As such, Ishita is able to cast jutsu with haste and without busying the both of her hands.

In addition, by forming a different hand seal with each of her hands and thereby forming 2 hand seals at a time, Ishita is able to halve the amount of time that it takes her to form the hand seals of a jutsu. And by forming a different series of hand seals with each of her hands, Ishita is able to cast 2 jutsu at a time!
