Kurama (Bijuu)

Kurama (九喇嘛, Kurama), more commonly known as the Nine-Tails (九尾, Kyūbi), is one of the nine tailed beasts. His form was based upon the Kitsune Yokai, taking on the shape of an orange fox bearing nine tails to symbolize his total power and wisdom. Centuries of being regarded as a mindless monster and sought after as a tool for war caused Kurama to hate humans. He is distant and resentful of newly obtained hosts, often wrestling for control as looks down as humanity as weak. His cynical and prideful personality cause him to generally be rejected by many hosts and some demons. In combat he commands the most raw destructive power of any demon, changing landscapes with gale and flame while enhancing his host's physical abilities to their maximum. Those who harbor Kurama as their bijuu often become masters of their existing abilities by augmenting those abilities with his chakra.

## Guild History

As with all chakra demons, Kurama's origins were as a portion of the ten tailed beast (juubi). The juubi was a powerful creature created by Jashin in the earliest period of Evergreen's (SR's) universe for the sole purpose of destroying as much of the dimension as possible. The juubi would travel from galaxy to galaxy consuming as many star systems as possible before Evergreen expended some of her divine power to weaken it by splitting it into nine equal pieces with unique names and identities. The gods Utu and Zelel would weaken the nine demons even further until they were banished and contained to Earth.

The Kyuubi emerged to attack and destroy the first Konohagakure. The demon was then sealed into the 14th Hokage and 1st Uzukage, Sanae Uzumaki. This disastrous event led to the founding of Uzushiogakure.

Transferred to Masato Umechika while residing in Uzushiogakure.

Bonded with Masato and granted mastery over his powers while fighting Evergreen alongside Sandayu and his sealed demon, Chomei.

Corrupted chakra from Kurama resides in the land of fire, possessing lesser beings.

## Nine-Tails Sage Chakra Mode

A ultimate transformation that requires the user have mastered their Demon Cloak as well as all techniques alongside 5 paragraphs training to access Nature Chakra. The host has learned to separate their chakra entirely from Kurama's and is able to tap into the Nature Chakra residing in the world around them with ease. Upon activating this form, the user's form mimics the golden chakra of the Demon Cloak form with the exception of Black Markings adorning the body with the most prominent being a ring around the user's stomach and the six magatama that are representative of the sage of six paths.

While in this transformation, the user has a Nature Chakra Pool equal to 1/5 of their actual chakra. This chakra is able to be replenished by Kurama instead of his chakra being used to replenish the host's normal chakra. The transformation is able to remain active for no longer than 10 posts. After which, to reenter the user must have fully replenished their nature chakra.

**▰ Truth-Seeking Orbs [ Shinjitsu o Motomeru Obu ] | Rank S**

The user is able to form up to six, dense, fist-sized, orange spheres that appear at will by compressing their chakra tightly to form each one. These spheres hover at a fixed distance behind their creator's back and form an evenly arranged circular formation. With this single cost, each of these orbs are considered S Rank. If a Truth-Seeking Orb is destroyed it will be replaced the following post as a supplemental action for the cost of this technique.

Each orb is capable of being manipulated at will or by somatic gestures for no cost. When colliding with a target, these orbs may act in various manners depending on the user's will. One variant allows the orb to expand up to fifty feet in size in order to shield the user from a blast equal in rank and potency to it's own, alternatively allowing the user to hide within this orb to shield themselves from all sides. Another variant allows the orb to detonate, causing a fifty foot concussive explosion that causes tier three trauma and burns to those within it's range. The final variant causes the orb to expand and consume those within an area up to fifty feet around it and seal them within, requiring an S+ Rank technique to break free. This technique has an A Ranked upkeep cost every three posts any orbs remain active.

**▰ Truth Seeker's Will ( Shinjitsu no Tankyū-sha no Ishi ) | Rank A**

With this technique the user can manipulate each or all of their actively available spheres created by the Truth Seeking Orb ability to a greater extent, allowing them to control all orbs by consuming a single activation for three posts. The extent of this manipulation entails movement, reshaping, combining, and separation of the black spheres, allowing the user to divide and multiply their number as well as strength while morphing their shape to any form they desire with a maximum size of fifty feet per orb applied. They retain that form permanently or until changed again which will cost the user an additional amount of chakra to do. Cannot separate the orbs into smaller portions than when they were created.

**▰ Ascended Kurama Mode ( Tsuihō Kurama Mōdo ) | Rank S**

The user claps their hands together as their nature chakra explodes forth, expanding and molding around them in a similar fashion as Susanoo does for the Uchiha. The host rises up and hovers within the center of this translucent chakra form's body as it takes on Kurama's form with the black markings of the user's Nine Tail Sage Chakra Mode. This form is capable of standing on two legs to use it's front claws as hands for combat but when running reverts to four legs. This transformed state allows the user move and operate with all their stats and due to the size of the Bijuu like form, techniques are five times their standard size. This transformation has an A rank upkeep cost every other post and has a maximum duration of five posts. This transformation may be used at variable ranks in order to manifest a partial limb of Kurama ( arm, head, ect ) that is able to manifest to deflect or defend the user from techniques.

**▰ Ashura Kurama Mode ( Ashura Kurama Mōdo ) | Rank S+**

This mode is accessable only by utilizing the multi-shadowclone technique as a Korabo technique with Acended Kurama Mode to combine three copies of the Ascended Kurama into a single being, doubling the size of the chakra form to double the size of other Bijuu, increasing technique sizes to ten times their original size. When executed successfully, the form's head has three faces, each turned a different direction while the user boasts six arms and two legs. The user has two additional offensive activations and an additional defensive activation with the additional limbs. Kurama's remaining chakra pool is converted to Nature Chakra for the duration of this transformation. Finally, learning this technique grants the user a custom technique slot to be used in this mode.

## Kurama Techniques

**▰ Malicious Force [ Akui no Aru Chikara ] | Rank X | Simple | Supplementary**

The host rushes forward to strike with a physical attack, their movements infused with Kurama's strength. The user moves forward ten feet per rank of the technique entering striking distance of a foe and negating that target's endurance and agility when interacting with the taijutsu, bukijutsu or basic combat attack paired with this technique. Upon impact, the target suffers tiered paralysis with the sheer power of the attack and is thrown double the distance the user traveled.

**▰ Backlash Strike [ Bakku Rasshu Kōgeki ] | Rank X | Simple**

When facing an attack from an opponent that is spiritual in nature and projectile, the user strikes it physically with so much raw strength that the spiritual attack is sent flying in the direction the user commands with their impact with such force that it increases the rank of the technique as it flys away by one rank. This technique must be used at the same rank as the opposing technique and has a two post cool down.

**▰ Infernal Fox Fire [ Jigoku no Kitsunebi ] | Rank X | Spiritual**

The user stomps their foot to form six baseball sized fire ball per rank of the technique. Before launching, these fireballs form a circular pattern before the user and are launched and manipulated by somatic gestures within a fifty foot radius around the user per rank. Upon impact, these fireballs inflict tiered burns and burning on a target. For each successful contact made with a fireball, the target's burned status increases one tier. This technique requires an upkeep post of five chakra per fireball active. Those who are stricken with more than three fireballs have a genjutsu of the user's choosing placed upon them equal to the rank of this technique or lower. Each fireball requires the technique's rank in chakra to defend but requires only one activation per post to address no matter how many fireballs are present.

**▰ Quick Rush [ Hayai Yakushin ] | Rank D | Spiritual**

The user consumes a body flicker activation when using this technique. The user vanishes from sight, avoiding any attack and moving to any desired location within the topic. When landing, any living being within twenty feet of the user is met with a wave of demonic chakra that inflicts tier one poison on those in range. Additionally, the user's landing causes the ground to crumble beneath them, reducing agility within twenty feet of themselves by 1 point.

**▰ Malevolent Twister [ Akui no Aru Tatsumaki ] | Rank B-S+ | Spiritual**

Additionally, this technique may be uses supplementary when combined with a simple or complex melee attack to augment it's existing abilities.

**▰ Yokai Domination [ Yokai Shihai ] | A Rank | Spiritual**

Thanks to the Kitsune's mythical domination over Yokai the user gains control over them. Roaring, commanding the yokai hiding in the world nearby to come to Kurama's aid. The user is capable of commanding Yokai with body ranks up to the host's own. Additionally, multiple lower rank Yokai can be used so long as their accumulative rank does not exceed the user's body rank. These Yokai are granted one offensive and defensive activation per post and are defeated by attacks equal to two ranks above their own or an accumulation of techniques equaling their rank. Techniques used by them draw from Kurama's chakra pool. These creatures remain active for five posts before returning to their corners of the earth.

**▰ Infernal Claw [ Jigoku no Kitsunebi ] | Rank A | Complex**

The user slashes their open palm with their fingers poised in a claw like form across the front of their body.

**▰ Minor Devastation [ Keibina Kōhai ] | Rank A | Spiritual**

A concentrated Bijuudama created by Kurama. The user concentrates on a focal point, commonly charged hovering before the jinchuriki's open hand or fist. The concentration of demon chakra melds with the user's own chakra as both of them pay half the cost of this technique, forming an orb of black chakra that is roughly the size of a golf ball. This orb is then fired as a projectile, by extending the hand as it travels in a straight line until making contact with a surface. Upon impact the technique creates a concussive blast of chakra that obliterates anything within a fifty hundred foot spherical radius of it's impact zone, obliterating non-chakra based structures, negating all armors, treating all techniques as two ranks lower for collisions while causing tier three trauma. Additionally, the concussive blast sends foes flying fifty feet past it's initial blast radius. The area affected by this incredibly potent blast causes tier four burning, burns and tiered dehydration each post one remains within it's radius. Unlike the Bijuu-dama, this technique can be fired up to three times for a single activation and can alternatively augment a simple taijutsu technique to directly strike an opponent.

**▰ Devastating Strike [ Kaimetsu-tekina Sutoraiku ] | Rank S | Simple**

The user attacks an opponent with a single, super powered strike. With thumb and index finger, the user prepares a single flicking action.

Target's stricken directly have their endurance stat negated as armor shatters as though it were made of glass and causing tier four trauma. For each point in strength the user has over their maximum, this technique expands it's range by fifty feet. When aimed at the earth, this technique creates trenches equal to it's range in the earth, leaving nothing but havoc in it's wake.

**▰ Infernal Calamity [ Jigoku no Sainan ] | Rank S+ | Spiritual**

The user concentrates on a focal point between their hands as they raise them overhead. The concentration of demon chakra melds with the user's own chakra as both of them pay half the cost of this technique, forming an orb of black chakra that is fifty feet in size as it ignites with a blazing hot wind. The user leaps high into the air, dispatching their ball of annihilation upon the earth or any unfortunate target within a two hundred foot radius. Those within the radius of the impact are crushed under an immense chakra force that pushes them into the earth, requiring chakra equal to twice the rank of this technique to overcome, obliterating non-chakra based structures, negating all armors, treating all techniques as two ranks lower for collisions. Those beneath the expansive chakra orb are burned alive, suffering tier four burns and burning as the hot winds cause tier two burns across the entire topic. Upon the user's next post, this chakra sphere explodes violently, causing tier four trauma within a two hundred foot radius as earthquakes expand outward from it's location to terra-form the landscape in the topic. For five posts, flaming twisters and earthquakes continue the total destruction of the topic and span out into four connected topics in the same subforum as the user, it's booming shock wave echoing across the lands of they reside in. This technique has a five post cool down.
