Weapon Mastery: Ranged, Projectile Aim, and Style: Ranged
The way that Sashou was in the way he fought was someone who really didn’t like to be up close and personal. He liked to deal with his problems just like his fighting, far away and using little amount of effort to make sure that he was getting the best deal possible.
This was where he had started to develop his ability for fighting from afar, but he knew he couldn’t really mould chakra as well as others. His ability to play with fire was well… like playing with fire. And his skills with water jutsu? Definitely a wet noodle when it came to it. He preferred the raw power of a senbon going into someone’s eye or into the arm of someone and pinning them in place. Maybe a little more morbid than what a ninjutsu user could use but it was so much fun to be so far away.
He was one who crafted his senbon launcher with a few different mechanisms and a bit of gas power and hydraulics. This meant that he didn’t have to worry about having strength and could fire it without too much issue at any strength. Though of course, this almost meant he only had to use a single arm to wield his weapon, since he could store his senbon in a pouch and just brush his arm by it to attach them to it. He believed that this actually helped with a lot of his combat.
For instance: Being able to use it without drawing too much attention since it just looks like an armguard. It also made little sound and could be used while hidden to make being targeted a lot harder. This was something that Sashou had intended in his deign because he felt that otherwise he would be in trouble since he wasn’t really one to take much of a hit.
Stalker, Human Anatomy and Bloody mess
Sashou’s way of fighting was always to be one where he took the least amount of hits. Being able to hide from both friends and foes was actually one of the skills he had acquired from when he was younger with his older siblings. Being able to hide from someone who was angry with him for taking one of their toys or their sweets meant he was able to get in and out of tight situations that didn’t help him.
Not only that but since he has had been a shinobi for a long time now he had been able to specialise in covert operations and spying for the village so he has gained the ability to hide that way.
What this has also given him, is the ability to have more time aiming at a target and hitting their vitals in a better way. He had found he did have a keen eye when it came to aiming his shots, and because his senbon were pretty aerodynamic he could actually get a sense of where to hit the heart, lungs, vital areas of the neck etc. This has helped him kill off many a guard and helped him infiltrate many places without being caught.
Though this has caused some issues with clean kills. He had noticed that many of his hits into vital areas had caused his opponents to bleed profusely and with that it meant that he was starting to make it more obvious that he had been there before. But it did mean that harder to kill targets were now more easy to kill off and that if he needed to make sure someone was dead that this would actually make it a lot more easy than previously expected. Now Sashou was able to become not just a spy, but a professional marksman for the village, and for the guild.
Called Shot, Strong Arm, and Shinobi 101 Projectiles
Something about using a Senbon launcher didn’t actually make Sashou think he could actually just throw them too. They wouldn’t be as fast as a fully hydraulic powered launcher, but that didn’t stop him from trying out going this other path.
A few hours of practice and he found the right place to aim to get the vitals right and start hitting people to kill not just maim or severely harm. In fact he could say he had some new ideas to use jutsu with just the senbon rather than the launcher. Maybe it was something to look into more than just a little niche market.
But because he was starting to get better with aiming his projectiles, Sashou also felt that his ability to aim for the arms and legs of his opponents was getting much better too. From using target dummies and studying the human anatomy he had found where the right parts of the body would react when stabbed with a weapon or cut. This would help him so much in his aiming to cripple or even to kill guards when infiltrating. He wasn’t a big fan of killing people but sometimes it’s just better for them to be gone and not have to deal with them in the future.
Though after much practice hitting targets with his weapons, he had noticed that he his stronger hits were in fact starting to break the limbs of his target dummies even without intention. At first he thought they were just shoddy dolls and replaced them time and time again until he realised that maybe he himself was just getting better at hitting his opponents with his weapons. He decided that maybe this was probably the best time to incorporate that into his fighting style and therefore gain an edge using his ranged attacks to defeat enemies quickly and quietly so he can move on from there.
Duelist,
As Sashou found his calling in his abilities to take out targets but he hadn’t quite considered the fact how good he was on taking one person out at a time. If he was focusing on that person more than anyone else that he would be able to rush them down before moving on to the next target straight away. He was a little concerned that every other person in a fight might be able to then attack him, but at the same time he did have his stealth to back him up a little bit. Sashou felt this was the best way to go about improving his single target ability.
Jutsu Creator and Jutsu Expander
Sashou wasn’t really one to use ninjutsu or anything like that. He was really awful with it, and though he had some ability and skill in genjutsu, he was much better with his taijutsu. With that though using the same moves again and again was starting to get a little stale. But by having the ability to combine two jutsu together somehow maybe he would be able to make even better and stronger moves than before.
By trying to mix two elemental ranged attacks he had been learning recently, he had found that he could combine them in a way to make one hit at about the same time, albeit a little weaker but with less energy needed.
On top of that, Sashou had found that by giving a little more time into his attacks he could actually add more power and effect into the attack. Why hadn’t he thought of this before? And certainly as a person who enjoyed taking his time on an attack by hiding and waiting for the right opportunity? He wasn’t really all that sure himself but he certainly was feeling pretty stupid that for the last few years he hadn’t actually been pushing his moves to the fullest.
It did not matter though, instead he would just concentrate on the future as he knew that one day he would be able to put this to good use. For the village he could help in missions, but for his personal gain? So many more chances to make do with it.
