Nova Makato
A-rank
- Genbu:
Genbu is an ancient tortoise that since time immemorial has been known to associate with the land of Kumogakure to the point that the two are synonymous. Usually used as a training ground for ninja, Genbu has been better suited to act as the staging ground for the Chuunin Exams’ glorious semi-finals. Upon the heart of the turtles’ back lays a grand Colosseum capable of housing thousands of people built for examinations, but now to stage the exams as they reach their climax. The arena is a circular 60m radii neutral field of 1m wide and 1/2 foot thick sculpted natural natural stone panels at the ninjas’ feet where grass can be seen growing between their 1/2 inch cracks. The proctors stand at the edges of the fighting stage, while ninja around them create and maintain and S rank barrier to protect the crowd from action in the arena.
Entrants enter from opposite sides, and may position themselves anywhere on their 1/2 of the arena in their opening post before combat begins.
Nova was filled in awe as she laid her eyes upon the arena in which her third battle would take place. She had heard of a place such as this, a turtle large enough that buildings rested upon its shell, though believed it myth herself. Yet now, seated within Kurogokegamu, Nova traveled across its earth like back towards a coliseum that towered upwards. A proctor was escorting her to an archway in the stone that led inside. Here he would leave her, and silence would fall upon her with the exception of the wind rushing against the stone. Nova would breathe deeply, trying to soothe the pre-battle nerves that bit at her. As the gate in the archway creaked open, Kurogokegamu strode forward at a brisk pace, and Nova's hair trailed out behind her in the wind. The sun was rising from the east which was behind her, casting a shadow over her half of the stadium. As a precaution she pressed her fingers to one of the balls of ammo that she had stored by her knee, imparting a small amount of chakra into it. Each one was easily in her reach, and could be slid into place to fire in less than half a second. By her knee, emerald chakra threads connected the inch-wide gap between her fingertips to the inside of the puppet, only Nova's head and shoulders peeked out the top of the puppet, giving her a full view around her. Nova stared across the open field, noticing that it was surrounded by a barrier to protect the crowds, arching from the ground to two meters up and against the wall behind it and protruded from the wall 5 meters and circled the entire arena. Nova saw that and made mental note that should she wish to climb up at the walls she would have to jump from a run or use her web. Her eyes scanned for her opponent, her fingers twitching in anticipation. She trailed along to the northern side of the arena, keeping twenty meters away from the Colosseum wall. Close to the edge she stopped and waited, ready to react upon seeing any movement. There she waited for her fight in the semi-finals to begin.

- Chakra 115/125:
Name: Substitution Technique (変わり身の術 ~ Kawarimi no Jutsu)
Canon/Custom: Canon.
Rank: E.
Type: Supplementary.
Element: None.
Range: One prepared item in the user's clear line of sight.
Speciality: Ninjutsu.
Duration: 1 post preparation. Infinite postponement, Instant activation.
Cooldown: 6 posts after activation.
Description: The Substitution Technique is an age-old skill which enables the user to evade the effects of an attack by switching with an item in the area. (The item---or substantial clone---used for a Substitute must be as large as the user's torso, and must be prepared at least 1 post in advance by infusing it with 5 chakra.) Activating this jutsu for another 5 chakra, the ninja moves at untraceable speed for just a moment, and the item does so as well to take the user's place; the ninja leaves behind a flickering after-image for a second, which, if damaged, releases the chakra which holds it in place in a small smoke cloud, revealing the nature of the technique and the item they have switched with. Higher-rank ninjas' afterimages are able to show some of the signs of natural impact as if it were an actual human, if only for a very short period, before 'poofing'. The user coming out of the technique creates a similar audio and visual cue with a small cloud of translucent smoke and a 'poofing' sound on appearance in the location of the item they Substituted with. This technique causes the user to move at speeds untraceable to human perception, and therefore even the user cannot coordinate attacks during the Kawarimi, or activate any other jutsu. They, however, can maneuver near someone and then attack them after the fast-movement is finished.
Name: Puppet Technique (Kugutsu no Jutsu ~ 傀儡の術)
Canon/Custom: Canon.
Rank: E.
Type: Supplementary.
Element: None.
Range: 30m.
Specialty: Kugutsu.
Duration: -5 per post
Cooldown: Duration +1 post.
Description: This jutsu generates long, fibrous, malleable chakra strings from each of the user's fingers. They are partially intangible to prevent tangling; this jutsu cannot be used to bind people. The condensed chakra takes a hue of variable color depending on the user. Use of this technique on puppets is only available to those with the Kugutsu specialty. However, people without skill in Puppetry can still generate chakra strings to control weapons they have the specializations to wield, within 30m. This consists of whipping them around like a flail or yo-yo, or controlling their path of travel when thrown. Unless durability is enhanced by a separate technique, these chakra strings can be broken by any D rank technique that causes blunt force, cutting, or piercing damage.
This technique cannot control living people; it can only control corpses, or Human Puppets currently in the user's locker
