Name: Shirukume no Kusari | Chains of Omniscient Sight | [ Left-Hip ]



Description

-Looks:
These are largely the replacement for Nathan's Serpent Fang Chains. The old chains, which he had since his days as a Genin, have become one of his primary weapons. However, over the years, they have become tattered, and are either need of great repair, or replacement. With his new rank of Jounin, Nathan has chosen the latter of the two options. These chains are silver in color, and feature a weighted end. This time, instead of a fully curved blade, the blade upon the end are 8 inched curved blades that have a jagged hook sliced out of the end closet to where they connect to the chains. Furthermore, the blade itself, complete with blood drip, has refined jagged teeth on it, which give this blade more of a grinding effect, rather then a purely slashing one.

-Capabilities: Like the previous embodiment of these chains, these new ones are also composed of a steel alloy embedded with strengthening minerals. These chains are
stronger then the old ones, with links specifically designed to not recoil against pressure, so that they can hold more tension without breaking. Furthermore, the chains are really resistant to heat, and will not melt easily. Thusly, Nathan can send several of his fire techniques along
the length of these chains, using them as a channel for attacking the opponent through. Lastly, the blades at the end of these twin chains are effective for slashing and ripping away at the opponent. The full length of these chains are 10 meters, and they are are usually kept coiled around Nathan's belt in specially made clips.

Story: Amaterasu.
She is the incarnate of the sun, the glowing fury of the day's sky. As one of the leading deities of Shinto believes, she is one of the most powerful entities to be found within the world. These chains are dedicate to her. It is said that Amaterasu carried with her at all times a sacred chain, that she then passed down to her grandson who became the first ruler of this land. These weapons were crafted by rule in the memory of this legend, but talk their name from a different legend. The term "Shirukume" is the name of a robe actually, one that Amaterasu
sealed a fellow deity within as punishment for the trickery of the mischievous Ame-no-Uzume, a goddess of merriment. Whereas his sword is symbolic of the power to conquer demons, these chains represent the ability to conquer gods.

Name: Kaisou no Yaiba | Dagger of Reflection | [ Back-Belt ]

Description

-Looks:
This is a weapon that usually comes in a pair. However, in Nathan's case, he uses a single one of these daggers. Traditionally, it is known as a trench knife, the
very same kind that Shikamaru wields. However, this is one crafted by Nathan. Made from the same steel alloy
of his new sword, this knife takes on the same glossy steel color, making it very reflective and almost mirror like. The blade fits on a hand much like an iron knuckle, but with jagged bladed edges on the portion of hte blade that extends in front of the knuckle grip. This portion of the blade, along with the actual dagger, features a refine
blood drip. The knuckles extend from the fist about an inch, and thusly add a cutting effect to punches. From one side of the fist, there is a blade that extends outward 6 inches, and is extremely sharp. The blade can be worn extended from either the thumb or pinky side of the hand.
Though the finger grips of this blade are individual holes in which the use slips their fingers through, it is easily switched between an upward facing and downward facing position for a skilled user.

-Capabilities:
This blade features the same chakra imbuing nature of the sword Nathan now wields. Thusly, he can use it to do things similar to the sword, coating it in fire, wind, or poison. However, being that the blade is not as long, and thusly has not stability to the chakra nature outside
of its metal, it needs to be combined with an additional jutsu in order for this elemental extension to go beyond the blade itself. Being that metal covers the knuckles, this is a good blade to use in combination with the sword, as it can be used to block other weapons, and thusly
can potentially halt the attack of an opponent, while allowing Nathan to attack with the sword.

Story: Tsukuyomi. He is the incarnation of the moon, the great ebbing and flowing force of the world. He represents balance with his sister of the sun, and is the guardian of the night sky. This weapon is the final symbol of a three part series, completing the representation of three powerful gods who were all spawned when the first god came running out of Yomi, the
Shadowy Land of the Dead. Thusly, all three of the weapons represent how death can being a new beginning, and in some way better the world, a lesson that was hard learned for Nathan. He crafted this blade at the same time as the sword, making sure that the smaller dagger had more chakra imbuing nature then the larger blade. The reflective surface of the
knife symbolically represents the final gift the gods first have to
man. Along with the necklace of the sun goddess, and the sword of the god of storms, man was given a bronze mirror known as Yata no kagami. May the surface of the blade ever represent the glow of the moon, and complete the balance between fighting that is needed for victory.

Name: Akuma no Okunote | Left Hand of the Devil | [Left-Arm]

Description

-Looks: [ |Gauntlet| ] - [ |Blade|] This is a protective gauntlet worn upon the left hand. The gauntlet is made of steel, and a dark blood-red color. It covers the forearm, up to the portion of Nathan's arm that is also covered in a fishnet glove. The backhand section is the largest, and the piece is segmented so that it can allow the arm to move properly still. Furthermore, the segments] that are on the forearm have spikes that shot out towards the first, so that they can act as a guard against any blade caught by them, preventing the blade from traveling the length of the guard. The backhand piece is complete with two spikes that stick out a half a inch from the closed fist, so they ad a small stabbing effect to all of his punches with this arm. The glove is attached with straps. Thusly, it does not cover the fingers, but protects well the arm it is upon. There is additional coating on the inner arm, but not so much for defense, as the inner arm features a slender hidden blade. The blade his stored in
the length of the forearm.

-Capabilities:
This is both a defensive and offense piece of armor. It is sturdy, and can withstand much force. It is designed to black against slashes and other damage to the left arm, which is Nathan's primary sword hand. Thusly, it acts as a good guard especially when Nathan misses with a slash, and is then left otherwise defenseless from his arm being
extended past the opponent he had attempted to hit. While not indestructible, the arm can withstand a good deal of force, and thusly becomes a good tool in battle. The gauntlet also features a hidden blade that is released and retracted through a small amount of chakra being used to control it. The blade has a three part extension,
though is only meant to be offensive on the final segment. The first segment is attached to the under arm, large enough to house the other two. The second part is the same length , jutting out to extent to where the final segment unleashes the incredibly sharp blade. The blade
is roughly 10 inches in length and an inch in width. It can be released quickly, allowing it to serve well as an unexpected assassin blade.

Story: Yomi. To the shinto belief, this is the after life. There is not hell, and no heaven, only the Shadowy Land of the Dead. While the afterlife is not entirely peaceful, some may find rest within its pits. However, most will have to suffer for their sins, and those that do suffer at the hands of creatures known as Oni, the servants of the goddess of death. Thusly, this gauntlet represents these servants. Symbolically, it represents how the three gods of his other weapons, Storm, Sun, and Moon, were spawned by the founding god when he returned to the physical
world from having been within Yomi.

Name: Kuryuu no Enjin | Ring of the Nine Dragons | [ Right-Ring Finger ]

Description

-Looks: [ |Ring|]This is a simple ring band that has a somewhat decorative design upon it. The color of the ring is a polished bronze, being very smooth and rounded at the sides before it dips into the center of the ring, which
is completely smooth. On the outside of the ring are nine rounded squares that each contain a special symbol. The symbols look like circles with lines shooting out from their diagonal quadrants. Between these lines are crown like indentations. The ring is worn on Nathan's right ring finger, obviously since he is not married, especially not to the souls within the ring. Most who see the ring see it as a normal trinket, but when viewed with his Sharingan the ring glows extremely bright white.

-Capabilities:
The ring itself is very useful to Nathan, and possess a power that only he could find advantageous. In connection with his power of the spirit world, Nathan has created a new form of techniques known as Konjutsu, spirit techniques. These techniques user souls, and the spiritual energy that is connect with them, to manipulate the world and create man powerful techniques. While these techniques user wandering souls, of which many can be found throughout any place giving the history of the world and the tendency of the people to die. However, there is no guarantee that wandering souls will be where Nathan is when he needs them. Thusly, this is a safeguard. The ring has sealed within it nine souls of the dead, one for each indentation. These souls are bound to the ring, and Nathan can draw them out through channeling some of the dark's chakra within it. The cost of removing just one soul is comparable to a D ranked technique. Once removed, Nathan will be able to
user the soul with one of his Konjutsus, but he must be careful, for if he uses all the souls he will have none left. He is able to refill the ring back to the max of 9 souls, but this is done after a battle is over and once he find another wandering soul to replace the lost one(s).

Story:
A practitioner of konjutsu needs to have the needed material to work with in order to take effect, much like Suiton users needed to have an sample supply of water in order to perform techniques with. However, there is another significance behind this ring. In mythology, the number nine is seen as lucy, and dragons are traditionally seen as beings of luck and majesty. Naturally,Nathan had a thing or two in connection with dragons, his name itself translating to dragon. Thusly, the name he
gave to this ring, and the ring itself, is inspired by the creatures, for it is said that there is nine forms of dragons, and that dragons have nine children.

Name: Manriki-gusari [ Kuzari-fundo ] | Spike and Chain | [ Back-Belt ]

Description

-Looks: [ |Chains|] This is a traditional Japanese chain weapon with two steel-weight on the ends designed to strike, ensnare, or trap an opponent. The chain measures approximately 1 meter in length, and both the chain and the weights are made from black steel, making them harder to see in the dark. One tactic in using these chains is to bunch the chain in the fist and fling one weighted end into the face, groin, or solar plexus of the opponent delivering blunt force trauma to the area, meaning that the chain do not necessarily have to be used as a thrown weapon, through it is typical to also throw this chain in order to wrap the opponent's legs together. This chain can also be thrown before drawing another weapon, thus possibly confusing, or surprising the opponent.

-Capabilities:
The Manriki-gusari is a typical short chain weapon that possess no special powers or adverse capabilities. While the heavy and gagged end of the weapon make it good for delivering blunt force trauma when contract is made, this all depends on how the user is wielding it, for this weapon is primarily meant for being thrown so that the enemy will be bound by the chain and left defenseless or at less immobile since the length of chain is only good for really tying the opponent's legs together.

Story:
Nathan first encountered this style of ninja weapon when he was in the Land of Waves, which is the first ninja mission he was ever a member of. Used by a simple rioter, Nathan was able to overcome the effectiveness of this chain weapon by exploiting the bandits inexperience with the weapon. However, Nathan was inspired by this style of weapon, and with some training he has learned to use the Manriki-gusari, otherwise known as Shinku-fundo, effectively in combat. Nathan keeps only one of these weapons on him, having it wrapped around
his supply bag on his backside.

Name: Tatehon | Shield Scroll | [ Equipment Pouch ]

Description

-Looks: This is a small, normal sized scroll that can easily fit into a pocket upon a typical shinobi flak jacket. The scroll itself is rather slender, but it does not need much paper for its purpose. The outside of the scroll is maroon, with small nub extending from either side of where the paper is rolled on it. Reversely, the inside surface of the
scroll is white, with a single kanji written in blade ink upon it merely a foot within where the scroll unravels, meaning that it can easily be open and held between the arms. The kanji on the inside is that of "shield", thus implying the purpose behind this scroll.

-Capabilities:
The scroll, complete with the kanji for "shield" is only used to shield the user against certain forces. While this piece of paper is not too useful, as a slew of techniques can easily break through the protective power of this scroll, a wise ninja with a good ninja sense can use it effectively knowing when and when not to employ this scroll as a means of defense. By channeling chakra within the kanji on the scroll, the scroll serves to negate weak elemental jutsu, usually most effective against elements with no real substance, such as lightning or fire. The scroll
cannot be used to block anything hire then a B rank jutsu, and even the size of the jutsu must be taken into consideration, as the scroll only shields over the location it is placed on, meaning that residual damage can be received in areas that are not covered by the unraveled
scroll. The user must channel into the scroll the same amount of chakra used in the portion of the technique they use the scroll to shield against.

Story:
To Nathan, this scroll was a gift from a fellow strategist. While not actually handed to him as a gift, it was a reward of the mind. Inspiration is the reward of the attentive. This scroll is a weapon of a strategist, pure and simple. It must be used wisely, and should not be thrown about willingly. In the coming battle that Nathan has foreseen, there will come a point where blades no long serve a purpose. Till now, he has always been the kind to carry with him multiple bladed weapons, but when it comes down to it, such weapons are only good for one intent. This is different.

Name: Makura - Total Darkness

Description

-Looks: [ X ] This blade is titled Makura. Makura, bonded with five souls, is nearly a living blade. Makura appears much like an elongated cleaver. Makura is slightly curved for her unique form of slicing motion, where a user will pull the blade toward themselves rather than away from themselves. This, of course, also Makura to essentially trap slower opponents and makes her dangerous from nearly any direction. Her blade, of course, is also special. As not seen within the picture [the resolution, of course, is not high enough] Makura actually possesses something that appears like a serrated edge. This is partly true.
Makura has a specialty blade that has recessed edges. The blade has tiny points all across her edge and between these points a small hole is formed. Within these holes are the true edges of the blade. These specialty blade keeps the edges hidden and recessed which keeps them incredibly sharp for a very, very long time. Unlike regular straight-edge blades they will not lose their sharpness upwards of fifty years. The specialty blade also allows Makura to cut cleanly in three directions: forwards, backwards, and straight down. Another facet of the blade is the particular grind. Most blades have a sabre grind, which is basically a triangle shaped point that becomes duller as time goes on. However, Makura was made with a concave grind, which means that as her edge wears away it actually becomes sharper. Makura is a primarily purple blade with red detailing. The edge is silver in color. On the backside of the blade there are five red rings, which actually
are the bonded souls. Makura is evenly balanced and has has swirling protection around the handle which is red. Additionally, there is a description on the side. Makura is about five feet in length.

-Capabilities: There are fives souls bonded to Makura. They are held within the five rings on her back side. The five souls, all female, were solely Katon users and, therefore, this blade will only accept an equally powerful Katon user. This means that if another human attempts to wield this blade without having Fire and Advanced Fire, they will be rejected and they will suffer second-degree burns on their skin where they contacted the blade. The souls, additionally, absorb a steady flow of chakra from Nathan in very small amounts and increments. If he wishes to release their power, all he must do is call upon them. The
primary power of the rings is channeling Katon chakra which makes them incredibly hot and able to burn through most objects, especially flesh. A second ability of the rings is that they are able to channel Katon chakra throughout the entire blade, literally engulfing it in flames that will burn opponents from a maximum range of eight inches. The third and final ability is that the rings are able to sense nearby sources of heat [such as humans] at a maximum range of fifty meters. The rings will begin to jingle against one another when a source of heat is near.

Story: Uchiha Nathan, after coming home from a long mission, found that an old man was waiting near his house. He confronted the old man and he asked for Nathan's help. Nathan
reluctantly agreed and set out with the old man after gathering some provisions. The old man took Nathan near the edge of The Fire Country where he owned a shop. The man, apparently, was a blacksmith and a skilled one at that. Wind had gotten around town that the old man was in possession of a blade with unnatural powers. Powerful people and local gangs alike had attempted to tame the blade, but it seemed that it would not accept them. The old man asked that Nathan help him protect the blade. Nathan agreed and began fending off anyone that came near. After about a month of staying with the old man and his wife, a final attack came from a far more powerful man. There were too many shinobi for Nathan alone and the old man perished within the battle. Nathan was able to vanquish all of the enemies with much difficulty and came to check on the wife. Within the wife's hand was the specialty sword and she handed it to Nathan. She said that she was going to go into hiding and that this sword was incredibly special. Her husband
would have wanted it to be passed on and, thus, Nathan came into possession of Makura.

A Blade in Hand || Carried Equipment
Name: Ama no Murakumo no Tsurugi :: Sword of the Gathering Clouds of Heaven

Description

-Looks: This is a sword named for the most legendary blade within Japanese Mythology, a blade that was said to have spawned from the belly of the Hachibi demon. It is because this sword is so rooted off of the legends of the past and the history of Nathan that it has been made to look pristine, and worthy of honor. The sword is a katana blade. While most like blades measure only around 30 inches in length, this is an extended blade, measuring roughly 40 inches in length. It has a full tang, and so it is perfectly balanced between the blade and the handle. To compensate for the extended blade, the handle of the weapon too is extended, and as a way of ensuring that the compressed wood grip is not broken from the force of striking the long blade against objects, there is a middle guard band on the fabric wrapped handle. The blade is silver in color, being composed of a refined steel that had been folded nearly 100 times in the crafting of the blade in order to make it extremely durable and sturdy. It would be a hard blade to break on accident, and a difficult one to break on purpose. The blade is equipped with a refined blood drip, so not a drop of blade that is spilled by the sword remains upon it, and not a stain appears on the surface of the glistening blade. On the sides of the blade there are two rows of kanji, one for each side. When combined, the kanji read the famous poem of Monk Sogi, the first leader of the Temple of Fire.

"That man's life is but a dream,
is what we now come to know."

While the original poem was written as a Confucian saying to describe the uncertainties of life, Nathan's interpretation of the poem is directed more towards the enemies he is to face with this blade, for nothing knows of a man's life more then the blade that takes that existence from him, and in doing so all of his fallen adversaries become nothing but memories of the past. The blade is equipped with a hardy guard, make of a golden metal. The guard serves well the purpose of preventing opposing blades from sliding down towards the hand that grips the blade. Though the blade is meant to be wielded by a single hand, most commonly the left for Nathan, the extended handle allows it to be easily held with both hands to increase the power of its slashes. The handle features silver metal at the top, middle and bottom. This metal encases it around the guard at the top, and cap at the bottom, and the middle support. Between this metal, there are blade wraps that crisscross, showing the white painted compressed wood handle. The sheath for this blade is black, though with a white outline design of a coiling snake.

-Capabilities: This is a very powerful blade. Other then the fact that the sword was expertly crafted and sharpened to its finest extent, the sword possesses many properties that work excellently with Nathan, both because of his connection with the spiritual realm, and because of his elemental chakra nature. The weight of the blade combined with its balance makes it easy for a master of Kenjutsu to use. Through the use of Fuuinjutsu, the blade has been sealed with the souls of the dead cult clan members that were murdered, and it is through the very power of the Hachibi demon that these souls came to reside within the blade. Finally, the blade, though crafted from seal, is actually made of a steel alloy. The metal was combined with the same chakra imbuing metal found in chakra trench knives, and so the blade can take on elemental properties of the use's chakra nature. Being that both of Nathan's elements, Katon, Fuuton, deal less with sustenance and tangibility, the blade can easily combine with any of the two elements.


||Aspects of Elements||
::Katon || Fire::
With his primary nature being Katon, Nathan most commonly combines the blade with his fire nature. Due to the chakra imbuing properties of the metal from the blade, the blake can have chakra channeled into it in order to create elemental manipulation attacks. For Katon, this generally means that the blade can be lit ablaze through the addition of Katon natured chakra. This ads an effective burning effect to the blade. Furthermore, with the addition of extra Katon natured chakra to the burning blade, the fire can be released in the form of a crescent strike straightforward towards the opponent. This stream of fire can only travel in a Close-to-Mid range (0-10m), and does not possess any kind of cutting nature. Instead, it is enough to produce third degree burns on the localized area of a direct strike.

::Fuuton || Wind::
The second elemental nature of Nathan's chakra is Fuuton. In this regards, the blade reacts more to the slicing nature of Fuuton chakra then anything else. This allows the blade to be coated in a layer of sharpened wind that increases its cutting capacity. With this trait, the blade becomes sharper, and at his Jounin level, Nathan can make the blade so sharp that it can even slice through objects as dense as steel. Like the Katon nature, this wind blade can be released in the form of a crescent strike, traveling in a Close -to-Mid distance. However, unlike the burning nature of fire, this strike cuts to draw blood. However, the strike looses some of its sharpness in being released in this way, and so a distanced strike cannot be used to cut steel.


Story: Susanoo. He is the incarnate of the storm, god of the vicious weather and lord of the seas. It is said that this god was so powerful and deceitful that he had slain the Hachibi demon thousands of years ago. Nathan knows this history to be true, for Susanoo was the one that had sent the Orochi back to the spiritual realm. This sword was created in the memory of Susanoo, so that Nathan could wield a weapon superior to any other weapon his had, at least symbolically. The blade was crafted by Nathan himself, being molded and forged. Upon crafting the blade, Nathan returned to the sight of his family's greatest tragedy, using the power to seal the souls of all of his fallen clan members into the blade, and using the power itself to make what is to become a new legendary blade.

Name: Ittou Bachiatari - Blade of the Damned

Description

-Looks: https://2img.net/h/oi41.tinypic.com/2hnbaeq.jpg Ittou Bachiatari, for a lack of a more specific label, is a scythe. It is mainly red in color mixed with locations of black. This gives the weapon a smoldering appearance, like the entire scythe is consumed in flames. As the bottom of the scythe there is a sharp point which rises and curves. The handle then bends until a ribbed location where the multiple blades of the scythe can be situated. Attached to the scythe, but separate from the handle, is a spine-like structure that stabilizes the blades. Crowning the top of the weapon is a screaming skull which the highest blade of the scythe runs through. The scythe is about 4'8" in length.

-Capabilities: The scythe, technically speaking, has no blades. When summoned by the user, it only has the handles. By the application of Katon chakra, five pure fire blades will form. They can vary in length, but the longest is usually about two feet in length. The scythe is a Katon chakra amplifier and, as such, it takes little chakra in order to produce the blades. The Katon blades themselves are capable of very hot temperatures and will be able to slice through flesh much like butter. Harder substances will take slightly more time to slice through. A variety of Katon techniques are additionally associated with this blade because of its amplification properties. With each rank the scythe power is double

Name: Katon: Haitsuchi [Fire Release: Ashes and Earth]
Rank: C
Range: Close to Far
Jutsu Type: Ninjutsu
Elemental Affinity: Katon - Fire [Advanced]
Clan: -
Description: By employing the use of his scythe and Katon - Fire chakra, Nathan can unleash a great burst of torrential flames upon his opponent[s]. By leaking his chakra into the scythe, Nathan can bring the weapon high above his head and, swinging it downward, he will be able to release a large blast of blue flames. The blue flames will expand outwards and upwards to, literally, leave a large gash in the earth. This attack is fairly unruly as is more used as a distraction and a cover up to a true attack. The flames have the ability to cause third degree burns with direct contact.

Name: Katon: Shakaku [Fire Release: Angel of Fire]
Rank: C
Range: 50 meters
Jutsu Type: Ninjutsu
Elemental Affinity: Katon - Fire [Advanced]
Clan: -
Description: By employing the use of his scythe and Katon - Fire chakra, Nathan can unleash a shower of embers upon his opponent[s]. By leaking his chakra into the scythe, Nathan can bring his weapon high above his head where embers will begin to fall on the battlefield over the location of his opponent. They will start out slow before a torrential downpour will fall upon them, most likely burning them and setting fire to anything around them. The embers will give first degree burns on contact with the skin and then nearly immediately cool. It is the sheer number of the embers than can spell trouble for his opponent[s].

Story: He stole it from a dragon! Nathan was, like, blah blah blah walking and he happened upon this cave. And he was like, "IMMA GONNA GO LOOK INSIDE," so he did and then he found a DRAGON. And the dragon was like, "WTF? GETTA OUT MY GRIL--CAVE." And Nathan was like, "HELLZ NO." So that dragon reared back and blew a HUGE plume of fire at Jiro and he avoided it. Then he landed on this pile of jewels and gold and he found this AWESOME looking scythe. So he used to to fend off the dragon and run out of the cave. Then he came all the back to summon
