Yoton (Bloodline)

## Yōton Knowledge

Lava Release (熔遁; 溶遁, Yōton; Viz "Lava Style" ) is an advanced nature kekkei genkai that combines fire and earth-based chakra to create lava and related substances that can serve multi-faceted purposes. Lava Release ninjutsu has been known to do such actions as spitting out lava that can melt almost anything in its path. The great amount of steam generated after the lava strikes can serve as an effective smokescreen, allowing the user to attack again while the enemy is distracted. A significant amount of exposure was enough to melt even Madara Uchiha's Susanoo. Lava Release Jutsu can be emitted from the mouth, or created externally.

## Yōton Abilities

Note: These are not bloodline attributes and are automatically obtained if the requirements are met.

* Melting Point | All active lava techniques are so incredibly hot that they will melt metal in close proximity (30 foot radius). This includes an opponent's custom weapons, armor, and puppets unless an amount of chakra equal to the Yoton technique is expended by the opponent to coat and protect the metal. Additionally, Tier 1 burns will be applied to opponents exposed skin within this radius with an E-C rank Yoton and Tier 2 for B-S+ rank Yoton. If the Yoton user is of the ninjutsu class then dehydration can be applied in addition to the burns at Tier 1 for E-C rank Yoton and Tier 2 for B-S+ rank Yoton. Note that this passive ability only applies for lava-based Yoton techniques. Melted custom items are instantly repaired by the opponent after the battle.
* Searing Burns | All lava-based Yoton techniques (including customs), regardless of the shinobi class of the user, will apply tiered burns on direct physical contact. Tier 1 burns are applied at E-D rank, Tier 2 at C-rank, Tier 3 at B-A rank, and Tier 4 at S-S+ rank.

## Yōton Traits

* All Yōton users must have Katon [ Fire Release ] & Doton [ Earth Release ] for their elements.
* Immune to heat and lava stemming from one's own techniques.

## Bloodline Attributes

**▱▰▱ Vulcan's Rage |** The user's passive Melting Point ability's radius is doubled to 60 feet and applies Tier 2 burns with E-C rank Yoton techniques and Tier 3 burns with B-S+ rank Yoton techniques. Additionally, if the user is of the ninjutsu class then Tier 2 dehydration with E-C rank Yoton techniques and Tier 3 dehydration with B-S+ rank Yoton techniques are applied as well.

**▱▰▱ Crackling Krakatoa |** The user is able to make their katon and doton techniques molten by applying 5 chakra per rank for no action cost causing them to be considered Yoton techniques for the purposes of overwhelming. Because of the heated molten nature of the user's katon and doton through this method, the Melting Point ability can apply to these techniques. Additionally, Yoton techniques can be performed by the user with somatic gestures rather than handseals with the same amount of time applied to mold the chakra.

**▱▰▱ Master of Transmutation |** Yoton techniques are all capable of being switched between lava, rubber, and wet cement on command with the use of an action. Katon and doton techniques can be self-korabo'd for a one rank increase in power for only one consumed offensive action with a five post cooldown. The user also receives 200 additional chakra.

## Yōton Techniques

**▰ Lava Manipulation [ You Soujuu ] | Rank X | Ability**

This control allows the Lava user to bend existing lava and magma as though it were their own. Not only can it take any form the user desires, but it can also be shifted around as if it were a part of their own body. It should be noted that one can also manipulate their lava objects they themselves have made, and it must be done while holding a double hand seal. Additionally, any lava that is being freely manipulated is not very solid, and can be broken or blown away as if it were completely natural, making it a poor choice for attacking or defending with. Should be noted that techniques can be made smaller while retaining their rank.

* Rank E: Very small lava. ( A plate, etc )
* Rank D: Small lava. ( A platter, etc )
* Rank C: Medium lava. ( A table, etc )
* Rank B: Large lava. ( A floor, etc )
* Rank A: Enormous lava. ( A clearing, etc )
* Rank S: Massive lava. ( A field, etc )

• Freely manipulating lava can be done with somatic gestures, no combat action, without a chakra cost unless chakra is applied to strengthen the lava in collisions which consumes an offensive action.

• Also includes natural rubber, quicklime, and cement. Water of equal rank cools lava in touches, and katon of equal rank hardens the cement.

**▰ Lava States | Rank X | Ability**

There are multiple states of the Newtonian fluid known as Lava. Each one respectively coming with its own advatanges and disadvantages. The lava states can be enhanced by an X-Ranked chakra amount to strengthen them in collisions with a handseal and offensive action. It costs a B-Rank amount of chakra for those without the Master of Transmutation PA as well as a combat action and a handseal to transfer lava between states.

* Obsidian: When a Lava technique if forcibly hardened from a suiton technique it then becomes Obsidian. It has no additional effects and is as hard as the technique that made it before it was hardened.

* Quicklime: Quicklime is immune to being Hardened by water and in fact is actually agitated further by it. When made of quicklime the structure or attack is actually treated as [1]-rank higher than the opposing technique it's coming into contact with if it's Suiton. However, it is brittle in every other instance making it 1-rank weaker in every other instance for collisions. Quicklime, when exposed to Suiton unlike Cement, will not keep its form. Quicklime additionally cannot be converted into rubber Quicklime is hardened the same as Cement.

* Cement: A hard liquid substance, while it has no natural heat it is sturdier than lava. When hardening into cement for Defensive purposes the techniques for defensive purposes are typically stronger than usual being treated as Doton it is weak to Raiton but superior against Suiton. Liquid cement is instead hardened by Katon as opposed to Suiton. Cement can be reproduced as quicklime but only before it would harden.

* Lava: Lava itself is hot and burning, several degrees of pure molten fury. When being used as Lava the lava will typically destroy equipment or inflict a severe burn and melt flesh. Lava is, of course, the strongest state for Lava-release to be in.

* Rubber: Rubber disperses force, rubber techniques will resist Bukijutsu and Taijutsu techniques of its rank or lower. It will also reduce the effectiveness of Raiton techniques by 1-rank that comes into contact with. However, it is inefficient in defending in most everything else lowering its effectiveness against those techniques by 1-rank.

**▰ Lava Release: Rope [ Yōton: Nawa ] | Rank D**

The user creates a rope with lava that shoots out from the ground. It can be used as a dangerous weapon, capable of causing second-degree burns if one is successfully hit, and compounding more and more damage the longer it remains on a target until it is hardened. Good for twenty feet of relaxed rope. The rank of this technique increases to [C], and [ B ] while the target is ensnared. It then hardens to a [ B ]-rank locking ability. [Rope] follows the Auto-Grapple Rules. This technique applies Tier 1 burns.

**▰ Lava Release: Rubber Defense [ Yōton: Gomu no Bougyo ] | Rank X**

The user creates a rubber barrier just before their body that is no larger than ten feet in size. Physical attacks that make contact with this technique that are of one rank above it or a lesser rank and potency are fully countered, sending the attack back to strike the one who initiated it, applying all it's effects upon them.

**▰ Lava Release: Lava Globs [ Yōton: Tama ] | Rank C**

The user spits three orbs of lava that grow up to ten feet in size each. These three globs travel up to thirty feet before hardening. As each glob travels, it leaves a molten trail behind it that takes one post to cool down. These globs may be controlled for three posts before hardening. When attempting to break the hardened lava foes must use techniques of C rank potency to destroy an individual stone. Direct physical contact with these globs before hardening causes tier two burns.

**▰ Lava Release: Train! [ Yōton: Ressha! ] | Rank B**

The user draws lava from the earth from the area around them. This lava shoots in a focused wave measuring five feet in diameter and travels up to forty feet. This burning lava ignites any flammable substances within twenty feet of it. Lava cools in three posts where it remains a hazardous part of the battlefield for all but the caster. If an opponent makes contact with the lava, the lava will easily melt items of Special Quality and lower.

**▰ Lava Release: Ground Warming [ Yōton: Daichi Atatameru ] | Rank B**

The user floods the earth with their chakra, super heating the ground just below the melting point of lava at 2000 degrees Fahrenheit within forty feet of the user that moves with them. Within this radius, living substances receive tier two burns over their entire body while body parts with direct contact to the earth suffer tier three burns. Staying within this radius causes opponents to lose a single activation so long as they are in range. This technique requires a D rank amount of chakra per post as an upkeep cost.

**▰ Lava Release: Wave [ Yōton: Sumi ] | Rank X**

The user pulls molten lava from the ground beneath them as it lifts them, forming a wave measuring ten feet in height and width per rank of the technique. If this wave of lava impacts structures not containing chakra they are melted instantly, treating chakra reinforced structures and techniques as two ranks lower in collisions. This lava triples it's area after it's use and hardens over three posts, causing tiered burns to those in direct contact with it.

**▰ Lava Release: Melting Apparition Technique [ Yōton: Yōkai no Jutsu ] | Rank B-S+**

The user releases a large amount of lava from their mouth, which spreads into a blanket measuring forty feet at base rank and doubling it's size every rank after as it travels through the air. Since the lava is shot upwards in an arc, so as to descend onto the targets from above, reducing their agility by 2 points when escaping this, consuming both a defensive and offensive action.

**▰ Lava Release: Cement Ring Orbit [ Yōton: Seishikidou ] | Rank A**

The user harnesses lava from deep within the earth that rapidly spins around the user until it forms a ten foot ring of liquid cement. Anything physically touching the ring becomes stuck to it and requiring an additional rank of resources to break free every post they are stuck until reaching S+ rank.

Having the cement touch an attacker immediately hardens it and causes them to lose [2] points of speed and agility until they break free. The lava version of this causes tier 3 burns and burning on contact, and if not quickly removed can melt through an entire limb in just a single post, melting through all armors and custom weapons not made through crafting.

**▰ Lava Release: Quicklime Congealing Technique [ Yōton: Sekkaigyō no Jutsu ] | Rank A**

The user spits a fifty foot stream of liquid cement that expands to twenty feet wide from their mouth which is capable of causing tier 2 trauma on impact. After being used, the cement dries on the following post but is able to be molded into weapons of A rank and lower formed of the substance. As lava, the technique has half the range, and rubber is not compatible with this skill. While wielding weapons made from this substance, the user gains a 2 point increase in strength or endurance.

**▰ Lava Release: Volcanic Ash [ Yōton: Kazanbai ] | Rank A**

The user forms a handseal and releases a massive one hundred foot wave of volcanic ash from the mouth. The ash has embers within it and is extremely hot, inflicting Tier 3 burns on exposed skin. The ash will also apply Tier 3 petrification to opponents caught within the massive ash burst as the molten stone begins to harden by the next post. The ash can cause suffocation for opponents caught in an enclosed space like a chakra-based prison or a sealed room in a building while none within it are capable of using sensory techniques. This technique remains active for six posts.

**▰ Lava Release: Cement Clone Technique [ Yōton: Cement Bunshin no Jutsu ] | Rank A-S+**

The user forms the required hand signs to form the lava surrounding them into a clone of themselves or desired target. These clones share the exact stats of the user and are capable of using any lava techniques the user knows by expending the chakra used to create them. Once this chakra is used or the clone destroyed, the clone explodes, hardening instantly and petrifying anyone within the thirty foot explosion.

**▰ Lava Release: Great Lava Wall [ Yōton: DaiYouheki ] | Rank S**

The user shapes the earth, melting it and forming a torrent of lava that raises before them to form wall of up to one hundred feet in height/length and ten feet in width. When used with lava, this technique melts all physical objects regardless of custom or crafted status and treats techniques as two ranks lower during collisions as they evaporate away, additionally causing tier four burns and burning within twenty feet of the wall. When made of rubber it returns techniques impacting it back to the opponent at one rank higher in potency. If used as cement, this technique requires resources equal to it's rank three times to break it. Alternatively, this can be used to reinforce other barriers, adding it's chakra to the strength of the existing barrier for the duration of the parent technique's usage.

**▰ Lava Release: Lava Prison [ Yōton: Yō Hitoya ] | Rank S**

The user performs various hand seals as they manipulate the earth deep underground. Finishing with pressing the palms of the hands against the ground, fresh lava erupts from the ground, creating a one hundred foot dome the target location. Within the prison it is very hot until the lava cools, causing the ceiling to drip before it solidifies after three posts. If one is caught within the dome and it isn't destroyed in the same post, the trapped will suffer Tier four burns across their body. When the lava cools it is very difficult to break, and is almost an inescapable prison, requiring two S-ranked attacks to break out from.

* When made of rubber the user and the captive may bounce inside increasing their momentum enhancing their speeds by [2], surpassing their cap up to 10. Additionally,ninjutsu used within the dome that impact it are ricocheted between the user and opponent, losing one rank per post until they strike.
* S rank and lower techniques have no effect on this technique, including combined korabo equal to this technique's rank.

**▰ Lava Release: Lava Tsunami [ Yōton: Yōgan Tsunami ] | Rank S+**

The user forms a string of hand signs, requiring two activations to do so. Upon completion the ground forms geyser like holes that begin to gush molten earth. Within seconds the gushing lava molds into a tidal wave measuring two hundred feet in width and height that washes over the entire topic, burying the area in a thirty foot deep pool of lava that does not harden unless effected by another technique or unnatural occurance. This area becomes a Lava Lake and constantly carries the hazards of the user's bloodline effects. Additionally, three topics in the subforum are swept over by a fifty foot wave of lava that hardens after ten posts. This technique melts through all custom crafted gear, reguardless of tier and treats all ninjutsu as two ranks lower.

**▰ Lava Release: Lava Lake Creation [ Yōton: Yōgan Kosui Souzou ] | Rank S+**

The user forms a string of hand signs, creating a super heated two hundred foot wide heated surface of earth. During this post and the next, the land begins to heat, causing tier four burns and burning to those in it's range while the earth starts to emit black smoke. At the beginning of the second post, the user's super heated earth has become a molten lake that sinks one hundred feet below the surface of the ground. For a ranked amount of chakra, the user may manipulate the lava within the area with somatic gestures as a supplementary action each post. This lava will harden after ten posts, consuming anything that makes its way beneath the surface if it isn't destroyed.
