FIGHTING STYLE:

CHAKRA NATURE:

• Earth
  
• Wind

TECHNIQUES:

• All academy jutsus.
  
  
• Archery art - Longshot
  Type: Kyudojutsu
  Rank: C
  Chakra cost: Small
  Description: By channeling chakra into his bow, allows Kou to shoot an arrow much farther and with far more force than the bow would normally allow.
  
  
• Archery art - Unwavering arrow
  Type: Kyudojutsu
  Rank: C
  Chakra cost: Small
  Description: Giving the arrow a burst of wind chakra, allows it to travel great distances in a straight line, without need to count the trajectory. It also gives arrow a great bonus to power and stability, allowing to punch through a brick wall and not be affected by gusts of wind.
  
  
• Archery art - Hidden arrow
  Type: Genjutsu/Kyudojutsu
  Rank: C
  Chakra cost: Small
  Description: Using same principles as Cloak of Invisibility technique, allows the arrow to blend with the surroundings as it flies towards the enemy, making it much harder to spot.
  
  
• Archery art - Rain of arrows
  Type: Genjutsu/Kyudojutsu
  Rank: C
  Chakra cost: Small
  Description: Makes it appear as if a dozen arrows is flying towards the enemy, while in reality there is only one.
  
  
• Archery Art - Lock-on
  Type: Kyudojutsu/Sensory
  Rank: A
  Chakra cost: Medium
  Description: Sends a chakra 'sign' to appear above the target's head, visible only to the user. That sign will always be visible to the user's vision, no matter what kind of obstacles lie in between them, in a radius of a mile. It cannot be fooled by making duplicates of oneself, clones and such, nor is affected by smoke and such. When used, the 'sign' travels in a straight line, with a speed of an average arrow, and has to 'hit' the target in order to fixate on it, and is aimed through the user's eye.
  
  
• Kage bushin-no jutsu
  Type: Ninjutsu
  Rank: B
  Chakra cost: Varies
  Description: Similar to the Clone Technique, this technique creates clones of the user. However, these clones are actual copies, not illusions. The user's chakra is evenly distributed among every clone, giving each clone an equal fraction of the user's overall power. Kou can create up to 20 at this time.
  
  
• Wind release - Rotating shuriken
  Type: Wind release
  Rank: C
  Chakra cost: Low
  Description: This technique infuses wind-natured chakra into bladed weapons. The user can then manipulate the blades in a spinning manner to attack the target.
  
  
• Wind release - Gale wind palm
  Type: Wind release
  Rank: C
  Chakra cost: Low
  Description: A simple technique that when the users hands are clapped together, wind is compressed and transformed into a powerful gale. This technique, when used as an isolated attack has the power to easily knock over a human. Though the true value comes from using it together with projectile weapons like shuriken or kunai. Their speed, power, and ability to wound or even kill are all increased several times.
  
  
• Earth release: Hiding like a Mole technique
  Type: Earth release
  Rank: C-rank
  Chakra cost: Medium
  Description: This technique changes earth into fine sand by channelling chakra into it, allowing the user to dig through it like a mole. This effect goes around the body (not just the hands), making it just large enough for a person to move through. The user can pinpoint where they are, despite being underground, by sensing the magnetic forces. They can also sense what is happening on the surface and use that information to launch a surprise attack on the enemy.
  
  
• Earth Release: Underground Projection Fish Technique
  Type: Earth release
  Rank: C - rank
  Chakra cost: Medium
  Description: This technique is used for sneaking and striking silently, like a fish underwater, and then suddenly appearing to the ground's surface. Furthermore, it's even more efficient when employed in a crowded area that, if the target notices something, can be overrun by the nearby masses, or with distractions like a Clone Technique to draw the enemy's attention. As such it is a great strategy for a guerilla, and a likely resort, used quite often for things such as assassination.
  
  
• Earth Release: Mud Indulgence
  Type: Earth release
  Rank: B
  Chakra cost: Medium
  Description: This technique lets the user summon a river of mud. This technique can have water added to it to speed up the flow and increase its power.
  
  
• Earth Release: Mud Wolves
  Type: Earth release
  Rank: B
  Chakra cost: Medium
  Description: A trap technique that is activated upon coming in contact with the opponent's chakra. The user uses a scroll to lay a trap where mud will shape into wolves that will attack the enemy. Despite being damaged, the wolves will simply reform, keeping the enemy occupied while the user makes a getaway. The only drawback about this technique is that is time-consuming to set up and will allow the opponent to catch up.
  
  
• Sly mind affect technique
  Type: Genjutsu
  Rank: C
  Chakra cost: Medium
  Description: This technique causes the enemy to walk around in circles for hours by making it seem as if they're walking straight to their desired destination. The enemy eventually becomes exhausted after travelling the same path over and over.
  
  
• False surroundings technique
  Type: Genjutsu
  Rank: C
  Chakra cost: Medium
  Description: A genjutsu that allows one to trick others into mistaking the place they're in for another. This technique's main feature is that it can be cast over an extensive surface, therefore any and all who step into the illusion's area of effect will fall under the spell. That said, it might not work so well on people who are well-versed or otherwise skilled in genjutsu.
  
  
• Double false surroundings technique
  Type: Genjutsu
  Rank: C
  Chakra cost: Medium
  Description: This technique places another illusion within another illusion created by the user. When the target dispels the first illusion, they will not realise that a second is in place.
  
  
• Haze clone technique
  Type: Clone techniques
  Rank: C
  Chakra cost: Medium/high
  Description: At first glance it seems like a regular Clone Technique, but the Haze Clone uses a cunning trap to lure out the enemy. Using this technique together with the Earth Release: Underground Projection Fish Technique, the enemy is led to believe that the real body is among the clones. As the Haze Clones are not physically real, the attack will just pass through them. While attention is drawn to the clones, the real body attacks from the blind spot. During the illusion and resulting chaos, the enemy, who is caught up in the technique, can be easily defeated.

HISTORY:

[/i]

But other than that, it was fairly boring. At age of 28, he was promoted to Jounin, due to ... well, age mostly. He was around the force of Amegakure enough to be one. But by that time, Kou grew extremely weary of it. They did dangerous stuff after all. Stuff people paid really good money for. But did they ever see even 1/10 of that money? Heck no! Only meager payment, if they ever received any.

Kou went to Kage about this one day. He demanded a ... salary raise! But instead, he got a long and boring talks that sustaining the village needed money, blabber about 'brotherhood' and 'money shouldn't be important for ninja', among the lines. But the man didn't quite buy it. In his view, ninja villages were organizations, that did jobs. He was an employee. He wanted adequate payment. If he didn't, he'd leave.

Except leaving the place wasn't an easy task. Villages are a greedy bunch regarding that. One does not simply leaves the village and survives for long. Kou knew this. And devised a ploy. During one of the particularly dangerous missions, he faked his own death by a huge landslide. And left. That simply. That's his 'sad story of leaving the village'.

He's been a, technically, nukenin, for around 2 years now. And loving every moment of it. Just traveling, enjoying life, doing missions he picks by himself from time to time, and gets all the payment he deserves. All he needed to be safe is avoid Amegakure's area of influence, and, since he was their jounin, he knew exactly where he shouldn't go, in order to avoid meeting people that might remember him.

And ... that's about it, for now. But what future has in store for Kou? Guess we're ought to see.

How did you find My Pride is a Hurricane?: Second app here =/

[UZUMAKI NARUTO]

Right so I'll be reviewing this application

1]Techniques: so all techniques other than academy ones need to be explained. Other than that your application looks good.
