Tame
D-rank
It wasn't like he wanted to be here.
Not like it was relevant to the reason he was here, anyhow. There was so much to do, and....well, no, there was plenty of time. The Tsuchikage wasn't said to arrive yet in the Hidden Sand, and two possibilities arose out of the many that would swarm the head of one thinking as such. They were met in secret in order to arrive without a fuss or any notice to foreign nations, or he simply hadn't made it yet. Having never actually bore the pleasure of meeting the Earth Shadow - oh, the perks of being a wanted criminal! - he couldn't discern how farsighted the Hidden Stone's leader was.
The sandstone was more forgiving than the crags he'd slept in for months. It curved naturally, providing a small sub-cave for him to reside in while he sat through the hours. He didn't surmise he'd have to do so for long - it wasn't often that someone posted an advertisement in the city's slums for a Sharingan, after all. It could have been the talk of the town for a week.
As if posting it was any sort of feat for the Whimsical Sniper - stealth and sensory abilities were his specialty, perhaps even more so than the killing blow itself. Pinging those who might detect him before he could get close enough for conventional sensory methods to do so, and then becoming completely imperceptible. Sneaking into a village was as easy as blinking to him.
He could only wait in these aged yet sturdy tunnels, yawning in anticipation of who could possibly choose to approach an anonymous seller.

[235. Can't be bothered.]
- 275/360:
- Name: 神楽心眼 {Kagura Shingan ~ The Mind's Eye}
Canon/Custom: Canon.
Rank: S.
Type: Defensive.
Element: None.
Range: 500m radius.
Specialty: Ninjutsu.
Duration: -15 per post.
Cooldown: Non-Applicable.
Description: A sensory ability that can only be learned with an extraordinary amount of mental focus, due to most not being able open their mind's eye. Thus, this ability cannot be copied by Sharingan or any other means; it must be researched and learned for double the normal wordcount after learning of its existence.
Tame can detect by a 'sixth sense' where chakra signatures are, accurately deducing distance and direction, as well as activity and magnitude, even if he cannot normally detect them via the 5 senses. If he closes his eyes, he can 'see' his surroundings as chakra fluctuations, though not outside his natural field of vision. Everything either gives off chakra (all living things) or reflects the reverberations of this chakra (inanimate objects); the user can sense slight movements in the chakra of even the living surroundings.
This ability can be used to track people over a distance or pick them out in a crowd, as the user can remember and recall any person's particular chakra and its 'feel'; he can even know someone's chakra natures and even their clan for future reference. However, it is much more versatile than just tracking; within 35 meters of themselves, the user can sense fluctuations and finer movements in chakra, able to tell if a person is somehow having their chakra disturbed, such as via Genjutsu; since lying muddles one's chakra regardless of one's control, Tame can also sense these even finer disturbances within 10m of himself.
If this ability is actively used for more than 5 posts without a 1-post break of not using it, Tame loses 1 tier in Strength and Endurance while he continues and for 2 posts after he cancels it. It increases for every post after 5 he used it (-2 for 6 posts, etc). After 3 posts of overuse, his Speed gets all current deductions as well.
Name: 迷彩隠れの術 {Meisaigakure no Jutsu ~ Hiding-with-Camouflage Technique}
Canon/Custom: Canon.
Rank: A.
Type: Supplementary.
Element: None.
Range: Self.
Specialty: Ninjutsu.
Duration: 3 posts; maintainable (before or after the normal duration).
Cooldown: Duration + 1 post.
Description: A technique that thinly coats the user in chakra, making the user essentially imperceptible by multiple processes. It negates the user from making any sound or footsteps, as well as erasing their scent. The user begins to suppress their chakra, while the chakra coating around them suppresses any trace of them whatsoever, be it biological, air disturbances, footsteps, or anything else. In addition, this jutsu refracts light around the user to make them invisible to those with perception of A-rank; those who can see the distortion made by this jutsu must be within 20 meters to detect it. The user is also unable to be detected by any sensory technique of A-rank or lower, barring Sage Mode's nature energy sensing, sensing via displacement (such as Sensing Sand), and motion-sensing (as in, sensing the presence of matter in motion).
This technique is excellent for sneak attacks; however, the caster can only activate 1 jutsu of A-rank or lower (+1 jutsu per rank lower the jutsu is) before having to dispel this technique. Techniques initiated before this jutsu do not count against this. If the user is touched any more than being brushed up against by another human/pet/summon, the jutsu ends.
Name: 無塵迷塞 {Mujin Meisai ~ Dusless Bewildering Cover}
Canon/Custom: Adapted Canon.
Rank: S.
Type: Supplementary.
Element: Shōton||Fūton
Range: Self.
Specialty: Ninjutsu.
Duration: -10 chakra per post.
Cooldown: Duration + 1 post.
Description: Tame's rendition of the legendary technique used by the Second Tsuchikage, it can only be used while Meisaigakure no Jutsu is in effect. By spreading crystal around his skin's personal area only, the user is able to erase their presence completely from sensors; be they based on the physical senses or the usage of chakra or other extrasensory perception, all facets of the user's existence are eliminated. All external waves and forces are conducted by this technique's dust and not returned as a disturbance, rendering remote radar or other techniques incapable of sensing the user. In addition, crystal is piezoelectric and vice-versa, meaning that any electricity the user gives off is dissipated into vibrations, which are also muffled by this technique. This jutsu increases the rank and number of techniques used by the caster needed to dispel Meisaigakure no Jutsu by 1.
