Takeshii
D-rank
Takeshii stood in the middle of his families training grounds, having recently acquired knowledge of a common but versatile jutsu. Along with a less common, but equally versatile one. The first jutsu was called Wire Manipulation, it allowed one to manipulate a length of wire using their chakra. This could be used in many ways, such as tying knots without using ones hands, untying knots the same way, manipulating weapons attached to wire, and more importantly to Takeshii, creating traps feuled by imagination. To say the least this technique could be quite a boost to his arsenal. His interest in this technique peaked, and his motivation for learning it sky rocketed by the ideas he had for its use, he now began his training. At this point Takeshii had a length of 25 feet of wire laid out in front of him.
To be short, this technique required three basic steps. One, flow chakra through the wire. Two, concentrate chakra into the wire. Three, move the wire using ones chakra. As with many things, this is easier to say than to do.
The first part sure was easy, flow chakra through the wire. Simple right, but how much? Takeshii would start from a minimal amount and work his way up until the wire began to glow blue with his chakra.
Now the second part, concentrate chakra into the wire. That is to say, condense the chakra into the wire itself. The wire and the chakra should be one. Takeshii attempted this, but when he did with so much chakra inside the wire went stiff and imaleable. This wouldn't do. So Takeshii gradually reduced the amount of chakra he used until the wire just went slack. This would be the golden amount, the most efficient quantity. Next move the wire. Takeshii tried willing the wire itself to move, but to no avail. Manipulating the position of his hand made no effect either. So Takeshii figured that up until now he had been using chakra, so why not try moving the chakra. He did and the wire swayed ever so slightly from Takeshii's hand to the other end. He had managed to move the wire, but moving and true manipulation were two different things altogether.
With the basics down pat, Takeshii tried manipulating his chakra in a few different ways, pulling the chakra closer to his hand caused the wire to coil up, manipulating it in a slightly different way caused it to coil. Pulling it closer in some places but pushing it apart in others caused the wire to loop. After about 15 minutes of this training, Takeshii decided to put the Wire Manipulation technique through his final test, before mastering the final part of wire manipulation, called wire fusing.
Takeshii went to a small wooden post and stuck his kunai into it. Taking a few steps back, he raised his hand holding his length of wire and pushed chakra through it, simultaneously condensing it and moving it. The wire coiled up, and than shot straight forward, snaking its way through the loop on Takeshii's kunai. In another flourish the wire looped and snaked its way around forming a simple knot around the loop. Takeshii felt comfortable with his technique as it was. But not it was time to learn the final part of his technique.
He took the current 25 foot length of wire, and another 25 foot length of wire. Taking the ends of both he channeled chakra into both, condensed it, and put the two ends together. They didn't stick, figuring it had to do with chakra he tried pushing the chakra from both together. Again they didn't stick. He tried pulling the chakra from one to the other, and both together. Again they didn't stick. Finally he remembered the name of this skill, Wire Fusing. Fusing, taking two peices and making them one. He did this with his chakra, combining the chakra together, and the wires sucked into eachother combining to make one 50 foot length of wire. With the kunai on one end. Takeshii yanked the kunai out of the tree and to his hand, using one more small pull of wire manipulation.
One technique down. One to go.
(10 chakra activation, +10 more chakra for using the technique, +5 chakra for the wire fusing = 25. 125/150)

- Wire Manipulation:
Name: Wire Manipulation Technique
Canon/Custom: Custom
Rank: D
Type: Supplementary
Element: N/A
Range: Length of Wire manipulated
Specialty: Bukijutsu
Duration: Upkeep
Cooldown: No Cooldown
Description: The user flows his chakra through a length of wire, and by manipulating the chakra within the wire is able to manipulate the wire in a number of ways. The most common method of using this technique is in conjunction with projectiles, to aid in their maneuverability and alter their trajectory. Fallen weapons can even be picked up using this jutsu and used again as seen here (5:41 - 6:38 after Ten-Ten's initial attack). As well as binding opponents, tying knots, making traps, etc. Furthermore, by placing one strand of wire on top of another using this technique, the two strands of wire can be fused together, this costs extra chakra.
Chakra Cost: 10 chakra to activate and 5 chakra/25 feet of wire/turn. 5 chakra for each wire fusing.
(10 chakra activation, +10 more chakra for using the technique, +5 chakra for the wire fusing = 25. 125/150)
