Jinton (Bloodline)

## The Legendary Kekkei Tota

Those of this bloodline are exceptionally skilled at ninjutsu and are born with access to the elements of earth, wind, and fire. Users are often quite skilled at these elements and especially earth. They are able to combine these three elements for a powerful Kekkei Tōta known as Jinton [ Dust Release ]. Dust Release is highly destructive and capable of obliterating objects it comes into contact with at the molecular level. Mastery of the particle style of ninjutsu requires learning a series of formulas before unlocking the great Fundamental Method. If the user progresses beyond the Fundamental Method then they can learn even more advanced formulas leading to the Final Method which allows them to wield the full and terrifying power of the dust release.

## Dust Release Traits

* Members of this bloodline must have the three elements of earth, wind, and fire. This must be attained by ninjutsu class or personal attribute.
* Bloodline techniques deal damage to double the amount of mechanisms (rounding down if applicable) and, for weapons, one unguarded hit is treated as two.

## Bloodline Attributes

**▱▰▱ Might of Hephaestus |** You are able to self-korabo one earth technique, one wind technique, and one fire technique into one three-times powerful ninjutsu technique consuming the chakra of the three techniques but only one offensive action. This can only occur once for every three posts.

**▱▰▱ Domination of the Primitive World |** Your dust release techniques cost one rank less in chakra and you can inflict one tier higher disintegration on your bloodline techniques every three posts.

**▱▰▱ Elements of Cruelty |** Your earth, wind, and fire techniques are harsher and allow you to apply one tier higher petrification to earth, vertigo to wind, and burn to fire up to five times in one battle at a maximum of tier four.

## Dust Release Techniques

**▰ Basic Formula: Sphere of Comprehension | Rank D**

The user clasps both hands together before separating them and creating a glowing sphere of disintegrating chakra. The user then blasts the sphere at a target and disintegrates all that it comes into contact with at the molecular level unless destroyed by an equally powerful force. Mastery of this technique is the first step toward the Fundamental Method.

**▰ Intermediate Formula: Barrier of Conservation | Rank C**

The user can now begin to form geometric shapes like cones, cylinders, and cubes as protective barriers. After forming a hand seal, a cone or cylinder or cube surrounds them completely to protect them from up to B-Rank techniques from all sides. This barrier does not disintegrate and will instead protect those inside from outside threats. The barrier lasts for four [4] posts unless the cost of the technique is respent.

**▰ Advanced Formula: Particle Beam | Rank B-A**

The user clasps their hands together before forming a much larger sphere of disintegrating chakra than the Basic Formula. They then fire a massive beam of disintegrating chakra from the center of the sphere that disintegrates all in its path at the molecular level. The beam is also so bright that it inflicts third-tier blindness on enemies who look at it. The beam has a range of up to fifty feet. This is the final formula to master before moving onto the Fundamental Method. Contact with this beam inflicts tiered Disintegration and is treated as one additional hit for mechanisms, weapons, and armor. This stack with the Bloodlines innate Attribute.

**▰ Fundamental Method: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique | Rank S**

The user uses Dust Release to create a structure, with a sphere located at its center, between the palms of his hands. The structure expands rapidly in size when being propelled towards its intended target and traps them inside its confines. The sphere then seems to explode with a tremendous amount of force, while the exterior walls of the structure effectively restrict the size of the blast radius, resulting in the destruction of everything and anyone caught within as they are pulverized into minute particles of dust. The technique isn't limited to just affecting physical matter; it can also affect chakra-based defenses. In general, the three shapes available are a cube, a cylinder, or a cone. However, any polygon may be formed to direct the explosive force of the inner sphere. This is due to how the walls constrict the disintegration dust and thus direct it. The longest shape possible is the cylinder which can reach up to (10km) in distance. Meanwhile, cone and square-shaped creations can cover up 33 meters cubed. This technique treats defensive techniques as one rank lower, due to the shape changing nature of this jutsu. Contact with this jutsu inflicts tiered Disintegration and reduces the victim's Endurance by [4].

**▰ Augmenting Formula: Reconstruction | Rank X**

This technique can only be utilized after using the Fundamental Method. The user maintains the blast-containing structure and suddenly inverses the destructive effects of the Dust Release to reconstruct the matter within into a new form(s). The newly created object(s) cannot be made as living entities and cannot make more than the matter that had been previously disintegrated. Cannot create anything larger than the structure originally created and must pay the same cost as paid to use the Fundamental Method.

**▰ Grand Formula: Barricade of Annihilation | Rank S+**

The user weaves several hand seals and creates a highly concentrated barrier, similar to that which usually contains the highly potent destructive power of the Dust Release. However, in this instance, the Dust Release's chakra is instead layered atop of the outside of this barrier. The barrier remains in place wherever it was created for its duration of use. Anything within this barrier cannot be harmed by the Dust Release or other external threats; however, it does not protect from below because that would risk destroying the ground below as well. Meanwhile, anything on the outside that comes into contact with the barrier faces the raw disintegrative properties of the kekkei tota. Contact with this barrier inflicts Tiered Disintegration and also reduces victim's Endurance by [4], reducing it to a minimum of [-2]. Only an attack of equal strength can negate this defense. This barrier can be maintained for up to eight [8] posts before ending unless the cost is repaid to sustain it.

**▰ Prime Formula: Armor of Deconstruction | Rank S+**

The user weaves several hand seals and creates a highly concentrated barrier around their self or someone else that they touch to put it on, acting like a second skin over all of their body, clothes, etc. Objects that leave contact with the user's body immediately lose the barrier's protection. This barrier has similar properties to that which usually contains the highly potent destructive power of the Dust Release. However, in this instance, the Dust Release's chakra is instead layered atop of the outside of this barrier. Anything within this barrier cannot be harmed by the Dust Release or other external threats. Meanwhile, anything on the outside that comes into contact with the barrier faces the raw disintegrative properties of the kekkei tota. Doing this protects against all but directly under their feet while they are on the ground (otherwise the surface under them would also be destroyed). This armor can inflict Tier 3 Disintegration when defending against Taijutsu and Bukijutsu, as well as close range Ninjutsu. Only an attack of equal strength can negate this defense. This barrier can be maintained for up to eight [8] posts before ending unless the cost is repaid to sustain it.

**▰ Final Method: Remote Demolition | Rank S+ | Training**

Through mastery of simultaneously constructing the containing field as well as focusing the highly destructive forces of the Dust Release, the user learns to manifest their kekkei tota's power more flexibly. Rather than being limited to projecting their attacks, they can now simply deploy the Fundamental Method anywhere within their line of sight or sensory range by focusing their power through a unique O-shaped hand seal held out in the desired direction. Must spend one post preparing the remotely activated Dust Release: Fundamental Method and doing so consumes all three [3] activations for that post; another activation is still used up in the next post to put the technique into effect. It cannot be used by clones since they lack the necessarily available activation count. Also, the cost of the remotely activated technique is increased by half of its original requirements. Inflicts Tier 4 Disintegration and reduces Endurance of target to [-4] on contact
