[/li][li]Summoning Technique (Kuchiyose Jutsu ~ Tendou Tsubasa (Wings of Paradise)

SUMMON: Giant Ninja Falcon – [ Image #1 ] | [Image #2 ] | [Image #3 ] | [Image #4 ] | [Image #5 ]
CHAKRA COST: Moderate
POWER:

(the following techniques in blue are used only by Tendou so they shouldn’t fall under Kikyo’s Jutsu Limit.)



[/li][li]Fuuton: Reppūshō (Gale Palm Technique)
NATURE: Wind
RANK: A
RANGE: Close – Mid-Range
DESCRIPTION: Tendou can use his wings to conjure up a massive gale of wind with a tremendous force of power. It is also used as a defensive maneuver against many attacks and weapons.
SIDE EFFECT/WEAKNESS: The more this attack/defense is used, the more energy and chakra he uses up in the process.

[/li][li]Fuuton: Feather Dance Technique
NATURE: Wind
RANK: B
RANGE: Close – Mid-Range
DESCRIPTION: Tendou can flap his wings to dispel a heavy barrage of bright blue, glowing feathers. The feathers charged with Tendou’s special chakra acts as individual wind blades that can target an opponent, or can be used as a defensive or evasive measure for blocking opponents; limiting their vision or blocking their moves before they can impact.
SIDE EFFECT/WEAKNESS: This attack may not always be effective, especially if a powerful Katon move is used. Also, chakra is depleted the more times this attack is used.

[/li][li]Fuuton: Tatsu no Ooshigoto (Dragon's Big Job)
NATURE: Wind
RANK: A
RANGE: Close – Mid-Range
DESCRIPTION: Tendou is able to summon a tornado to shoot down onto its target from the sky at the bellow of its cry, stretching of its wings and en eerie glow from its body, through its own power. The tornado engulfs the opponent as the pressurized air itself acts as numerous, small scythes which slice the opponent’s body.
SIDE EFFECT/WEAKNESS: Aside from the standard chakra uses, Tendou must stay in one stationery spot in order to conduct this Jutsu, generally leaving itself unprotected.

[/li][li]Fuuton: Brave Bird Technique!
NATURE: Wind
RANK: A
RANGE: Close-range
DESCRIPTION: Tendou engulfs its massive body a glowing, white aura (its chakra) which is also being infused with the natural force of the wind on which it flies through during fight. While surrounding by this power, Tendou can use this offensive power to smash into its opponents and obstacles to deliver devastating and destructive results. The move cannot be used more than twice though due to the tiring result on the user upon each blow. This special white aura also acts as a shield to block oncoming hits from weapons and moves, and lessens the damage of Tendou’s own impact on the target.
SIDE EFFECT/ WEAKNESS: This is one of Tendou's most powerful moves; sadly, it depletes his energy moreso than this chakra because it takes up a massive amount of endurance and stamina. He loses energy each time he uses it to the point where he must return to his World. His maximum number is 2 after which he must return.

[/li][li]Conversion!
NATURE: N/A
RANK: S
RANGE: N/A
DESCRIPTION: Tendou has the ability to convert itself into the pure Wind-based chakra it is made up of and can transfer that power to its contract signer. It takes on the form of massive blue, glowing wings on the contract holder’s back or on her sword. This move can only be used with Wind-affiiliated shinobi who has signed a contract with Tendou. While in this form, the contract holder will be given a massive chakra boost.
(note) This is how Kamajin utilizes the stolen chakra from his defeated opponents; he uses his Summon as a Chakra Seal just as how Tsuande uses her seal to hold her excess chakra levels. Through the conversion, he can utilize both his stolen chakra, and the power of Tendou's chakra as well.
SIDE EFFECT/WEAKNESS: Tendou cannot return to his Original Form once he has converted into pure chaka. When his own chakra has been seriously depleted, or if detached from the Contract Signer, he returns to his World. note Kikyo currently cannot use her Kekkei Genkai in conjunction with the Conversion. Still needs practise in IC.

-Medical Skills-

(great Medical knowledge - including knowledge of poison extractions, and other medical capabilities outside the use of Jutsu.)

[/li][li]Shōsen Jutsu - Mystical Palm Technique
TYPE: Ninjutsu
RANK: A
CHAKRA COST: Moderate - High
DESCRIPTON: This is the Healing ability of Medic-nin by infusing his own chakra into the person's body. He can manage to heal wounds and serious cases of internal and external afflictions. It can be used offensively and neutrally.
SIDE EFFECTS: His own chakra is used up to heal another person using this jutsu. The more effort needed, the more his own chakra is used up. Also, the amount of chakra flow into the person's body to heal them must be equal to the seriousness of the affliction on the person, or else too much unnecessary chakra will send the person in a comatose state. Chakra control is essential to the performance of this technique.


[/li][li] Ranshinshō – Body Pathway Derangement
NATURE: N/A
RANK: A
CHAKRA COST: Moderate
RANGE: Close-Range
DESCRIPTION: The human body is controlled with electrical signals from the brain, but a person who had those electrical signals cut off with this technique will become unable to make their body move as they want. As soon as a strike of the hand lands after transforming chakra into electricity from within, electricity is poured into the enemy's nervous system, severing the signals and deranging their body control. The target's body moves in any way, except how they want it to move. For the common shinobi, battle, not to mention even just walking, will become impossible. Because she's an expert in medical treatments, Tsunade was able to master this technique.
SIDE EFFECTS: This feat however is not an easy one and takes a high amount of concentration and intelligence, as well as chakra control. Because of Kamijin’s extensive training and knowledge along with his Hyuuga characteristics, he has come along to perform this high-end technique. Without the concentration, the technique could ultimately just flop.


[/li][li]In'yu Shōmetsu - Ying Healing Wound Destruction
NATURE: N/A
RANK: A
CHAKRA COST: Moderate - High
RANGE: N/A
DESCRIPTION: A medical ninjutsu where one anticipates the area where the opponent will attack and pre-emptively applies medical treatment to it, reducing damage to a minimum. The user concentrates chakra to that area and begins the cell recreation process even before the targeted area becomes damaged.
SIDE EFFECTS: The more it is used, the more chakra is used up. Also requires intense observation and predictability analytic skills.


[/li][li] Chakura no Mesu – Chakra Scalpel
NATURE: N/A
RANK: B
CHAKRA COST: Moderate
RANGE: Close-Range
DESCRIPTION: his medical technique forms one's chakra into a small, sharp blade. This can then be used for highly accurate incisions necessary for surgeries and anatomical dissections. The chakra scalpel can actually make cuts inside the body without actually creating an open wound, limiting the risks of an infection. The chakra scalpel can also be used offensively, although it requires great precision to be effective. Also, it can still effectively cut muscle tissues and tendons, rendering the target immobile.
SIDE EFFECTS: Constant chakra use.

HISTORY:

[/color][/right]

Kikyo’s birth was, of course, a joyous relevation to her parents, family, and practically the entire Akoshi clan; especially when she was birthed of two Main Branch members. The Main Branch of the Akoshi Clan comprised of those members who are directly linked by blood to the clan’s original ancestor, Takame. As a healthy baby girl, she was looked after, and loved just as any mother and father would do for the fruit of their loins. Through her growth, she would be tended after, yet she was somewhat fooled and given a false sense of security. She grew up in the sacred Land of Iron in which a fraction of peace and neutrality existed. Growing up there made one feel safe, and at ease with no reason to look behind your back. Kikyo started to develop such a nature, in which her personality blossomed from that seed, and she didn’t have much reason to be miserable or unhappy. As a Main Branch born, it was to be expected that Kikyo would share in their Kekkei Genkai; not guaranteed, but it was likely. However, no signs would show just yet. She grew up comfortably surrounded by loved ones with a misguided perception of the Ninja World from the start.




Kikyo was homeschooled and taught the basic foundations of knowledge, particularly in areas like Japanese, and history; including that of shinobi and the part they played. To Kikyo, they sounded like stories of merriment and wonder when it came to the kind of things shinobi could do with an energy known as chakra. It was all that she could think about, even more than her other studies to which she still gave the same respect and attention. Nothing else just couldn’t live up to being her favorite, aside from the extra curriculars that she chose to pursue like art, and singing. She even learned of her own clan, the Land of Iron and its significance in the Ninja World, and just what her clan was capable of doing (all theoretical, not practical of course). It took her 5th birthday to develop the courage to ask her parents if she can learn to be a kunoichi. She learned at that age how adamant her whole clan was about fighting, and especially involving themselves in the affairs of the ninja. That was why she was scared to ask them. Unfortunately, they told her no. It took one whole year trying and pleading and convincing, it even took her to ask the samurai to help her convince her parents. Throughout it all, they succumbed to their daughter’s wishes, and allowed her to start training. They invited retired shinobi from the Hidden Villages in the Sand and Cloud to their home to specially train their daughter upon which both accepted. So, these were Kikyo’s Academy days – training, learning, and adopting the life style of the ninja to the unfortunate disapproval and dislike from her clan. The clan told off her parents about sowing the seed to corrupt ways, yet what was done was done. Also, much to Kikyos’ parents’ dislike and pride in their daughter at the same time, she was progressing wonderfully, and showed great promise. Kikyo, however, took the time to learn more about her clan and its special Gift unknown to everyone, even her teachers. She grew more and more interested, and studied all about it. Throughout many years of her progression and training, she learned of how other Academies go about Genin examinations to send their graduates out into the world of shinobi as beginners known as Genin. No doubt Kikyo aimed to do this as well, and asked her teachers to help her register. The two retired teachers knew how strongly she felt about it, and also how her clan and parents felt about it too. However, they wanted to look out for the best in her, and her potential, and so agreed to help her if she was able to convince her parents herself. Kikyo was devastated at their response because she knew exactly what her parents would tell her. As the days came closer and closer to the Genin exams at each respective Hidden Village Academy, she became more and more passionate about becoming a Genin, and decided to do it no matter what it took. It was the dawn of her passionate personality. Kikyo performed her Clone Jutsu on the morning of the examination, told her teachers in advance already that she was ready to leave, and went to the Hidden Village in the Sand to participate. Needless to say, she aced with flying colours, and received her honorary status as a Genin ninja. She was gifted with the Sand headband as proof of her qualification. From the moment she held it in her hand, to the way back to the Land of Iron, she was ecstatic and cheerful.. all up until she came home to two pissed off parents, a disappointed clan – the Clone would have dissipated long before she returned.




So her days as a Genin have started, but that didn’t mean that they were eventful; certainly not from the start at least. Just because she showed her capabilities to be an outstanding female ninja didn’t mean that she reached her clan’s approval. Even the way she went about taking her exams without proper consent did not do her any justice in the end. As days went on, Kikyo’s passionate demeanor and newfound dream were not dying down anytime soon, and although her parents were not so stressed about it, her clan was finding the active talk very annoying. So, as a result, they offered her parents the opportunity to let their daughter choose what path she wish to take. They were not considered to be oppressors, and believed strongly in free choice and speech; that was the clan’s ninja way: “to go wherever the wind takes you, be free of oppression and man-made limitations. Be free.” That was why most people chose to leave. However, at a price. All Kikyo knew one day was that she was given a choice to study to be a ninja, or reform to her clan’s customs. She didn’t know, but her parents did: through her choice to leave, she would be considered banished, and a missing-nin to her clan, even at her young age of 12. She wouldn’t be reported to other countries to be on the look-out for; it was just a matter between her and her clan. No surprise as to which pathway she chose; she just didn’t know that she sealed her fate. She didn’t know that she wouldn’t be coming back. Her parents didn’t have the heart to tell her. She packed up, and chose to leave with her two teachers to hone her skills and develop her life. However, she was also escorted by her elder cousin, also of the Main Branch, because if by chance, her Kekkei Genkai was activated, she would be guided by someone who shared in the same abilities. So, that marked her journey. However, her Genin lifestyle was seemingly unorthodox; it wasn’t comprised of your typical team, but all the same, Kikyo considered it her team, and in time, she grew throughout different experiences, training exercises, real situations, and life lessons even; especially when she started to.. “grow” in places and develop physically. She spent a good five years as a Genin with her team, and through that time, she even started to develop her true Akoshi lifestyle the day she activated her Kekkei Genkai. During her five-year experiences, she decided to join a real team of the Hidden Sand to eventually be eligible for the Chuunin Exams. She still continued to rely on her three-Sensei squad while listening to her Team Leader, and grew just fine. The day soon came to take on the Chuunin Exams which were to be situated in the Hidden Leaf Village. Her team went through serious trials and tribulations coming to the point where she would face opponents one-on-one. Only Kikyo and one of her other team members got that far, and amazingly, both were qualified to be Chuunin. Kikyo kept her same personality through and through, even as she progressed impressively in her skills, and as a young woman. Even her cousin was starting to see true potential through their Kekkei Genkai training. Now that she was a Chuunin, what would be next? She knew that there was still a lot more open to her, and to learn. She got interested in the art of medical ninjutsu, and decided to start learning from that branch of ninjutsu from her Team Leader, and through travelling. Kikyo was so delighted and passionate about this dream to be a great ninja that the thought of revisiting home hasn’t hit her yet. However, she was still coming to grips about how misguided she was about the World, and her journey from Genin to Chuunin gave her much insight about that.




Her training was no more diminished just because she had a promotion. Kikyo met a great deal of people, and started to become more sociable with people. Thankfully, not many people knew of her family line, or bloodline limit. Whether it was due to lack of knowledge, or just the fact that people were more interested in her.. body and personality, but she was thankful. As she developed, she couldn’t help but accept that she attracted many people (perhaps also due to her Kekkei Genkai prowess increasing, and people becoming unknowingly attracted to her chakra as well). However, her senseis were still with her, and was determined to help her reach her dream. Her training increased immensely, including tapping into her elemental natures as well as her Medical-nin training with her Sand Jounin team leader. She attended theoretical and practical classes, trained in the hospital and attended different “extra curricular” classes offered in other Hidden Village hospitals for Medic nins-in-training. Her Kekkei Genkai training with her cousin was also becoming more and more taxing due to the natural effect of becoming more tired and drained from over-use of her bloodline abilities. Throughout her training, she would come across so much more lessons. Many things Kikyo came across – even death of one of her team members which hit her emotionally for one of the first times in her life. One of her old, retired senseis also died. She finally came to the realization that she was banished from her clan as a result of her choice as a little girl; never being really able to see her parents again was also saddening, and one of her most difficult experiences to cope with. Nevertheless, whatever pain she went through in her life, it could not douse her happiness and drive for a long period. In fact, much like how tough conditions only help to make a flower stronger and bloom just as beautifully in the face of danger, Kikyo was no different. What didn’t kill her made her stronger. She continued to train, and face adversity and especially the risk that her true identity would be discovered for many years to continue. As she reached her age of 22, she aimed to perform the Jounin exams. Admittedly, it was one of her tougher experiences, but she persevered, and eventually, succeeded.




Her successes thus far were very commendable, and Kikyo’s teachers couldn’t be prouder. Her cousin even told her that he had been keeping in contact with her parents, and they wanted her to know that they couldn’t be prouder either of her accomplishments, and to always be careful and mindful. Kikyo, of course, wasn’t the strongest leader though; perhaps due to the constant teaching and supervision of her teachers which made her more comfortable playing the role of the “follower”. She continued to train, and develop her skills more. Thankfully, up to that point, no one really knew of her identity as a banished Akoshi member away from the Land of Iron with the clan’s Kekkei Genkai, or else she’d never be able to even participate in exams, and become a Jounin. Her training was almost as its peak as she developed admirably. Her Medic skills were soon to be considered that of possibly rivaling Lady Tsunade’s of the Leaf Village someday. Her cousin had to admit that she would soon surpass him and his Kekkei Genkai, and she had just as much battles and rivals under her belt as she did admirers. There came a day though that she thanked her teachers and cousin,and would soon leave them to live out her own journey as a Missing-nin kunoichi with formidable prowess and abilities. She would come across two females who shared in her same Missing-nin path, and would find herself with two new friends in a new liaison, Hell’s Butterflies, to affiliate herself with. That sense of identity was important to Kikyo, and would temporarily give her a new passion to live out. She had other goals to fulfill, which would all come in time.



Over the 3-year time lapse, Kikyo has came across many different changes in her life despite her relatively young adult age. The fight against Zero Cypher and his mate with her fellow Hell’s Butterflies was gruelling, let along challenging. It took so much out of her to fight with the woman called Samus with Katsuko as Raine faced her cousin with her new-found abilities. On the plus side, she was able to fend off her opponent, and still remain standing even if it took her strongest Kekkei Genkai abilities which might have given her identity away to the Jewnikami: her abilities were considered rare and treasured which was why she did not ‘flaunt’. Sadly though, Katsuko lost her life in the struggle, which cut Kikyo deeply, but her wounds were even worse off as she witnessed Zero’s final assault taking Raine’s life as well. She stood by her side, and listened to her partner’s final revelation: including how she was happy as she died as she found true happiness in the world with people like Kikyo by her side. It was painful, and thankfully the two Jewnikami fled and left Kikyo to tend to her partners’ bodies. With disastrous pain and loss, happiness must complement it; she found that in her new love life with Dashe Storm as he was there to give her comfort, and ease. Kikyo never experienced such a heavy loss aside from losing her clan, so it was all new to her. She was no longer playing scapegoat, and started to settle down with the Storm Head of Konoha. She soon came across instances like engagement, moving in, becoming a Konoha ninja, and aiming to build a life and career there: assisting with the Konoha hospital, and village missions, not to mention assisting with duties of her fiance’s clan. Her participation even in the one-year war was dedicated, and passionate as she fought for so many things: the memories of her teammates, her new life, her lover, and the sake of the Village as she adopted the Will of Fire as so many others have done. Currently, she continues to push herself, and make more of herself: including improving her Kekkei Genkai as it was no longer a secret, and she knew it was up to her to protect herself, and her Bloodline Limit.
