Okay here is the second installment of the crafter guide I hope you enjoy. Also if I have forgotten anything make sure to drop me a review and I will get right on it.
Crafter's guide and techniques
Edition 2
Crafter Techniques
Shrapnel burst
Overall power-C
Overall rank-C
Users- Naruto and Bain
Mana involved-red
These are bits of crystal that can be overloaded by using red mana causing them to expand and detonate. The grey casing surrounding them fragment from the blast and the resulting shrapnel can cause damage to multiple opponents and at close range but unless delivered at point blank range they are not generally deadly. Naruto uses these with shuriken to make them less suspicious and increase the amount of shrapnel available
Nerve boost
Overall power-C
Overall rank- A
Mana used- blue
Users- Bain
This is the technique that Bain uses in his fight against Naruto. It is sealless and can be used by almost any crafter. However that is the danger of it. This is an extremely dangerous move. It uses blue mana to boosts the nerves in the brain and muscles in order to allow the nerve impulses to be transmitted and received quicker. With it a person could up their reflexes to over 5 times that of what they currently are. In other words a genin level ninja could have the reflexes of a jounin but the danger of burning them out is severe. Even for a fully realized crafter it can take close to a minute to heal a burned out nerve in the muscles. As for the brain should that become damaged then the crafter is in danger of going catatonic and should that happen while channeling mana the mana can burn it's way out of the crafter's body causing death in most cases.
Nova Beacon
Overall power- C
Overall rank- A
Users- Bain
This is a modified version of a technique that was once used by the crafters in order to construct a star. In the first step of this normally requires up to three crafters just to focus the mana and matter that will eventually become the core of a star. Bain by himself cannot make a stable core and only manage a unstable one thanks to his armor. Bain uses it as a signal to Yang in order to signal a meeting as one of the abilities of Yang's spark is to detect potential novas.
Mana chains
Overall power- B
Overall rank- C
Mana used- blue
Users- Bain
This is a good technique when you want to restrain but not kill your target. In order to perform it you must attach a high concentration of blue mana to a person's weapon or part of their body. Unfortunately this technique works best against non crafters as it can be broken with a short intense burst of any type of mana.
Air Barrier
Overall power-D
Overall rank- C
Mana involved-blue
The technique's name was not actually used but this is the one that Bain uses to allow Naruto to go into his private dimension. It gives the person it is used on or the user access to air that would normally be sucked away by the journey through the dimensions and in the shape of a bubble it is relatively easy to hold. At least it is as long as no large amount of force is applied to any one point.
Death Forest cage
Overall power- B
Overall rank-A
Mana used- black, green
Users Bain
This technique can only be used When Forest Heart and souleater are combined. The teeth of the new sword are used as seeds to create a cage of twisted trees around the target. These trees exclude a black quicksand like substance that can trap the unwary and make them easy prey for the toxins that are released from the upper levels. Once the prey is immobilized by either way the trees shoot out spikes to finish off the target.
Darkblade strike
Overall power-C
Overall rank-B
Users- Bain
Mana involved-black
Using the shadows around him while holding souleater Bain can solidify shadows to make a small spike about a foot in length while doing this the blade cannot be used and this time. The true power of this is that it can be barbed which when it gets a good enough hit can bind the enemy in place.
Light Screen
Overall power- B
Overall rank-B
Users- Bain
Mana involved- white
This technique uses Death's Bane as a conduit to compress white mana to a state that is as close as mana comes to becoming solid. In this form it can block any mental intrusions or killer intent projected at the user. Unfortunately this technique cannot be maintained in battle.
Jutsu
Double layered henge
Overall rank- Low C
Overall power- D
Type- genjutsu
Users- most spies and ANBU
Layers two henges one right on top of another. When one is cancelled then the other appears. While difficult it can also be pulled without the signature poof of smoke which adds to it's use to a spy.
Chakra bullet
Overall power- varies with the number of tails can be from B to S
Overall Rank- A
Users- Tailed beasts, jinchuriki
Demon jutsu-
This is a technique that can only be done with demonic chakra as it concentrates demonic energy in the body and then with a roar the energy is expelled in one blast. At max it can decimate a small islands but the more power that is used the more vulnerable the user is to counter attacks as they struggle to heal.
Advanced henge
Overall power- C
Overall rank-C
Type- genjutsu
Users- some chunin and most jounin
A jounin level henge that makes it impossible for anyone without a bloodline limit like the sharingan or the byuucugan to see through it. Unfortunately it doesn't change the shape of a person's shadow.
Gen Jujin Bushin (illusion beast clone)
Overall Rank-D
Overall power-D
Users- Karama clan heir Ayeka
An advanced version of the normal bushin that is used by the Karama clan. It is layered around an animal and that allows it to sound real. It can also act just like an actual person and using the bloodline of the Karama clan the genjutsu is slightly strengthened making it feel like it is actually real. This makes it hard for anyone to know that it is indeed a clone. This technique is now known only by the only survivor and now heir to the Karama clan.
I know that I have left out many details like what techniques Bain used when he/berserker fought the ninja keeping Anko (if you hadn't guess it yet yes it was her) hostage. Well that will be explained in later chapters. Now review!
