Yuki guide

The Yuki kekkei genkai allows the one who posses it to manifest the Hyoton (ice element), this element is recognized due to its endurance, ninjutsu synergy and connection with the user, this kekkei genkai is so powerful that it can even lower the temperature around the user or where the user focuses on, and in higher ranks cause a brief blizzard.

## **Yuki abilities**

* **Hyoton techniques:** ice needles, ice breath, avalanche, mirrors.
* **Hyoton manipulation:** Shaping, moving and controlling Hyoton.

## **D - rank = snowflake**

The user is starting to manifest this nature within, your chakra control is still clumsy and not consistent. The ice may be propense to break with ease upon failure.

The user learns the first basic technique, **Ice needles**, they can generate up to 2 on this rank and manually throw them, they can attract them back but this represents a minor chakra cost in comparison to creating new ones. These upon contact with enemy’s limbs can have difficult movement and slightly freeze them superficially, but nothing major on this rank.

The user can attract like a magnet their Hyoton needles, causing cuts or damage to anyone on their way. They can shoot pure hyoton and shape it similar to Earth creations in the ninjutsu natures path.

## **C - rank = frozen hearted**

The user is more attuned with Hyoton, they even lower temperature around them to -1 degrees, even accidentally when some emotions are triggered.

Weapons and such can be created and shaped from now on.

## **B - rank = blizzard**

The user’s chakra is cold itself, they’re more synchronized to this nature. They’re able to freeze water with touch, from this point on the user may perform an equivalent of nintaijutsu skills with Hyoton. The user can create Hyoton while running and in combat.

## **A - rank = Avalanche**

The user’s control of Hyoton is formidable, the composition of the ice is similar to steel, remember that the stronger you turn it the more chakra you’d have to invest, meaning that your techniques will cost more upon casting them than they normally do.

## **S - rank = Iceberg**

Your presence is important in the battlefield, like the iceberg. You can lower the temperature around it entirely, making it a rather uncomfortable situation, you can make it snow and change the weather entirely. Summon blizzards at will, and become a force of nature. The hyoton of the strongest kind is available, almost as hard as diamond or brute minerals, they’re hard to break, but with ninjutsu attacks and persistently it will.

## **Ice mirrors [TIER-2 EG]**

The user summons mirrors around the battlefield, making everyone unable to run away from them. This is an expensive technique that can even make enemy attacks bounce or be released from other mirrors flanking them, the user moderately forces the targets to fight in a close quarters combat as if they use wide or big techniques they will suffer the damage as they’re forced to fight in an enclosed space, not only that but the user will be able to shoot Hyoton techniques from the mirrors, which are borderline indestructible.  Note that even genjutsu can backfire while at mercy from the mirrors. This technique lasts 10 minutes, the integrity of the hyoton mirrors is quite strong but can be broken if persistent enough. Won’t be able to summon these more than once in a fight and only in the open (not interiors). The user may go inside the mirrors and pose as a reflection.

If the correct mirror is attacked where the author is hiding within, they will suffer damage, byakugan and sharingan users may note which is the correct mirror.

## **A frozen soul [TIER-3 EG]**

The user enters a state in which their body and hyoton mix entirely, the user’s body has the integrity of Hyoton of the highest degree and may only perform hyoton techniques while on this state (This includes other EG), they will be able to shoot needles from their own body without having to generate it and most hyoton techniques would not require hand seals. The user may even freeze the entire body of enemies by extended touch, possibly killing them if not aided later. (S rank levels of Lightning and Fire only will effect this endgame)

## **Notes**

* Yuki Abilities cannot be used without Line of Sight/Your own senses, The ice does not have a mind of its own.
* Needles will keep a limb frozen until they take it off (B-A rank)
* Guardians can be shaped like natural guardians.
* Fire, and Lightning Ninjutsu/Nintaijutsu affect Hyoton naturally, but when the user reaches B rank this natural disadvantage vanishes: An Example being that a B rank Fireball no longer has an advantage over B or A rank Ice, this continues with each rank, A rank, and finally S rank.
