Chichi

*"..."* -*Chichi*

**Chichi** (地地, Earth Earth) is a missing-nin from Yukigakure and a member of the Akatsuki sub-organization Yaksha.

## ***History***

### **Background**

Chichi is a ninja of the Hikyakuya Clan (飛脚屋, Courier Shop) a Yukigakure clan of Courier Ninja specialized in the completion of delivery and escort missions by making use of their vast knowledge of Fūinjutsu. Because of their techniques the Hikyakyua clan was synonymous with safety since even if a ninja managed to fail the mission the object or person being transported could be retrieved by another ninja and only a ninja of their clan remotely.

Chichi as a born kleptomaniac however saw this feature of his clan's fuinjutsu as a good way for committing crimes and stealing stuff so he would often steal some of the cargo his fellow clan members every time they went on a mission. While his theft was not entirely kept secret the higher ups of the clan didn't see fit to punish Chichi because he was surprisingly hardworking, talented and honest in every other way.

This changed one day when Chichi motivated too strongly by his kleptomania stole a very important object from an S-rank mission, ruining not only the mission's completion but also his clan's reputation and earning him the ire of the Yukikage, The Snow Daimyo and the **General** (大将, *Taishō*) of the Land of Iron.

Removed from the clan's network instantly by the Head and sent to prison by the chunnin of his clan, Chichi was convicted a criminal of the highest order and put in a high security prison. Luckily for Chichi but unluckily for everyone involved in the situation the object Chichi stole could never be found because Chichi had sealed it within himself with **Kinjutsu** (禁術, Forbidden Techniques) allowing him and only him to summon it at the cost of his natural elemental affinities.

Chichi managed to escape the prison using his ingenuity and fashioning normal every day items into ninja tools and ninja weapons, being branded a missing-nin once word got out and making it impossible for him to return to the land of snow and the land of iron. During his years as a missing-nin Chichi survived mostly by stealing equipment, food and money from other shinobis on mission with ambushes and traps. It was in one of these ambushes that he met Katsu and was offered a spot to join Yaksha which he refused... only to be beaten to a pulp and **forced** to join.

## ***Abilities***

### *Taijutsu*

Chichi is well versed in the use of **Taijutsu** (体術, Body Techniques) using them alongside his weapon skills as his primary means of fighting due to his inability to use ninjutsu on the fly.

#### **Bukijutsu**

Chichi is well versed in the use of weapons being an avid user of **Bukijutsu** (武器術, Weapon Techniques) especially in its application to thrown weapons such as kunai, shuriken, senbon and even bombs. His skill with the throwing and curving of shuriken specifically is particularly impressive allowing him to pressure opponents heavily from long ranges.

But more impressive than his throwing skills is his ability to wield polearms in particular his Chinese Staff which he uses expertly to defeat opponents who underestimate the use of such weapons.

### *Ninjutsu*

#### **Fūinjutsu**

As a ninja of the Hikyakuya Clan Chichi is well versed in the use of **Fūinjutsu** (封印術, Sealing Techniques) although most of his clan's techniques have ironically been "sealed away" from him by removing him from his clan's special storage dimension forcing him to rely on conventional techniques available to most ninja or older and outdated sealing techniques of his clan.

* **Enclosing Jutsu**: Chichi is well versed in the use of the Enclosing Technique to store items, using a special variation invented by his clan a long time which renders it impossible to be opened without the finger print of the original sealer. Because of Chichi's crippled ability to use Ninjutsu it takes him considerable longer to seal anything.
	+ **Unsealing Jutsu**: A simple Fūinjutsu technique that allows Chichi to unseal things from sealed scrolls, because of his crippled ability to use ninjutsu he primes his unsealing jutsu into the seal itself as he crafts it so it's easier for him to release them.
		- **Summoning: Lightning Flash Blade Creation**: A special variation of the classic enclosing ans unsealing jutsu that can be applied to clothing and paper and which allows a ninja to instantly summon weapons with simple contact of one's finger print while covered in some of the orinal creator's chakra to the sealing kanji.
	+ **Enclosing Jutsu: Mini Seal**: A special seal which can be placed on a single piece of paper instead of an entire scroll, while considered by many an upgrade it's actually a side grade since it can store a lot less items and can only release its contents all at once and simultaneously instead of in a controlled fashion, forcing them to shoot out perpendicular to the paper at great speed. With this seal he is able to perform Unsealing Technique: Shuriken and he even has a few of them which contain other Nova Seal Papers inside of them which in turn contain shuriken allowing him to produce a veritable rain of shuriken in a moment's notice. It usually takes him an **hour** to produce a single mini seal.
	+ **Enclosing Jutsu: Nova Seal**: A special variation of the normal Enclosing Jutsu which does not seal an object properly but instead seals the energy contained within the matter of the object in an unorganized fashion. When this seal is opened it'll release not the object that was meant to be contained within but instead the pure energy which made up the object resulting in the release of pure energy in the form of what is basically an explosion, destroying the object containing the seal entirely before the entirety of energy is released nearly always. While this jutsu has the potential to generate immense large scale explosions because of its specific design it it is limited by the speed of its summoning and thus is limited by the skill of its craft and the chakra used to release it, since when this seal was first discovered it nuked the area it was used and so it's summoning speed had to be toned down. Chichi makes his own Explosive Tags in this manner because he is unable to use any elemental transformation.

#### **Kinjutsu**

Chichi was once a practitioner of **Kinjutsu** (禁術, Forbidden Techniques) but has since foregone their use after using a Kinjutsu technique which rendered him effectively ninjutsu crippled by sacrificing his elemental chakra and most of his shaping ability just so he could seal a weapon inside of him with an unbreakable and "unhackable" fuinjutsu.

## ***Equipment***

### *Ninja Tools*

Chichi is in the possession of an abnormally large arsenal of conventional ninja tools stored within his many scrolls and paper seals. He is able to produce shuriken, kunai, senbon, smoke bombs, explosive tags, poison bombs, wire, grappling hooks, chains, bells, caltrops and more from his scrolls should the situation require their use.

### *Hook Swords*

Chichi is in the possession of at least 1 pair of Hook Swords which he uses expertly in combat to destroy opponents who are unfamiliar with the use of such weapons. He does not specialize in their use and uses them as a cover for his actual main method of combat.

### *Nyoi Kinko Bō*

**Nyoi Kinko Bō** (如意金箍棒, Staff That Obeys One's Will) is a magical metal staff sealed inside of Chichi by himself using an ancient Forbidden Fuinjutsu that requires the sacrifice of one's nature affinities and the sacrifice of the innate ability to use elemental chakra. This sacrifice is actually a requirement to wield the staff which will not work unless one renders part of their essence to the staff and thus becomes intrinsically linked to it, only then will its functions work.

As a magical weapon the **Nyoi Kinko Bō** possesses extraordinary abilities which many deem supernatural and which Chichi can control with nothing but his thought, they are as follow:

* **Summoning and Unsummoning**: The staff can be sealed and unsealed at will without the expenditure of any chakra and without the need of direct contact. If the user is knocked unconscious the staff will simply vanish.
* **Chakra Absorption** [Passive]: The staff is able to absorb the chakra of its wielder and store it for the staff to use later instead of relying on the expenditure of chakra on the fly all the time.
	+ **Yin and Yang Release Absorption** [Passive]: A defensive function of the staff but is actually an extension of its basic chakra absorption which allows it to absorb the effect of any Yin or Yang release effect which may affect its wielder, furthermore it's able to convert the Yin effect and thus the Yin chakra into Yang chakra for itself to use in its other functions.
* **Size Change**: The most famous ability of the staff is its ability to alter its size in any dimension by generating more or less matter and can "expand" even individual sections of it allowing it to regenerate its shape. It can do so incredibly quickly and with no known upper limit to its upper and lower sizes, the staff somehow retains the same weight regardless of its size, being incredibly heavy. Chichi is able to wield this ability in combat expertly to make up for his lack of jutsu but finds it hard to wield such an heavy staff.
	+ **Replication**: The staff is able to expend Yang chakra to temporarily create perfect replicas of itself in their current state but without all the other mystical properties. Chichi uses this ability to summon much lighter versions of the staff that lack the magical abilities.
