Toujigikou

Literally meaning "Clay Artisan", the Toujigikou originated from the Village Hidden in the Stone, and are widely considered some of the greatest Artists to Exist. Members of this clan are gifted with an uncanny skill for creating beautiful art pieces, and share a love for the many forms of art. They are born with a mouth in the palm of each hand, giving them the unique ability to mold their chakra into a special type of Clay, creating Explosive works of art that literally come to life. While some choose to live the peaceful life of an Artist, others Believe in the clan's Motto that "Art is a Bang!" and prefer the more chaotic life style of utilizing their Explosive Art whenever they can, showing the world the true beauty of art during that single fleeting moment of explosion.

Explosive Art - Passive
The Toujigikou are unique when it comes to chakra by it naturally being chaotic to a point of becoming highly explosive.

The Toujigikou believe that fine art is the beauty of the single fleeting moment; their preferred form of this comes via explosions. When their majestic works of art detonate into a fierce, transient explosion, nothing brings a bigger smile to their face.

Living Clay Bombs - [Chakra Style]
The most used and recognized form of the Toujigikou's art style. Most members of the clan carry bags on their hips, or belts, that contain a small amount of moldable clay that they put into the mouths affixed to their hands. Within the mouth the clay is "chewed" and injected with the clan's unstable chakra before being molded into the form of a creature that can move towards their target in the way the real animal would. These explosive creatures are just as dangerous as any explosive clay, able to detonate on contact.
Rank 1/2/3: The user may convert any Offensive Explosion Technique into a Living Clay Bomb. The Living Clay Bomb has half/all the Offensive Explosion Technique Damage as HP. Living Clay Bombs have -7/-5 Secondaries and 1 AP. The Living Clay Bomb may spend 0.5 AP to make a Basic attack dealing twice the user's Basic Strike Damage with a 25% chance to Detonate.

Glitterbomb - [Explosion Ninjutsu]
Not all explosions are full of carnage, fire, blood, and bone. To some the very act of the explosion itself is the goal and from the shyer members of the Toujigikou clan came up with a far more fun way to create bombs that their haughtier cousins use to prank each other without causing a mortal wound...though not always. Ironically the most famous use of these bombs were from a shinobi that wasn't even a part of the clan, but their uses were quickly adapted regardless as superior pranks.
Rank 1/2/3: Attempts to strike up to 3 targets 3 times dealing [600/375/300] Elemental damage. If fully hit, the target gets -1 Accuracy and Awareness, stacking up to [1/2/3] times, for 10 seconds.

---
Clay Clone - [Explosion Ninjutsu]
A unique Clone technique to the Toujigikou clan, as opposed to creating animals they can make copies of themselves via the same method; identical in every visual aspect. The clone, being made of clay, regenerates itself over time and is naturally resistant to physical attacks due to their moldable nature.

To a point that they are even able to throw themselves into a fray as an explosion; just like any other form of their artistic expression.

Perfection of the Fleeting Moment
Unlike most famous clans, the Toujigikou split off into two different ideals of artistic expressions within their own bloodline instead of "branching" off into 2 different lineages. While they stay close to one another, more so than some due to their unique expression of artistic value, the two "paths" that their art takes has often lead to some of the most explosive arguments of all time. The first style of art, known as "Master Sculptors", focus intently on creating perfection. The clay and chakra that they infuse it with are meant to be physical expression of perfection that cannot be match by any other mortal. To punctuate this perfection, the art in which they do combat with continue to remain just as explosive to hone in the lesson and creed these artists follow: "Perfection, like everything, is fleeting."

Aperture Vision - Passive
Art is a beauty to behold, so believe those of the clan. An true artist knows the importance of detail, and naturally they take in and note the little things in their environment subconsciously that will one day be replicated in perfection. Due to this nearly all Toujigikou despise the arts of Genjutsu, believing it a crude method of obscuring the expressionism behind one's true art. Those of the mindset of perfectionism have developed a peculiar ability to ignore certain effects that might hinder their art; able to just simply ignore that which might disturb it.
Rank 1/2/3: Cumulative accuracy debuffs ignored up to -[2/3/4]. Additionally, the user can make and maintain one additional Creation Technique at [30/40/50]% HP and deals [30/40/50]% Damage.
---
Creative Direction - Passive
To be perfect in one's craft isn't something that simply comes over night. In order to gain that which one might considered "perfect", one has to study every last single detail in not only what they make, but what others are capable of as well. As such those who wish to bring about the greatest awe in a fleeting moment seek inspiration and direction from every source available to them - often throwing away all pride but that of their art in order to reach the pinnacle.
Rank 1/2/3: The users' Creations have [5/10/15]% DR, and deal +[5/10/15]% extra damage. The user’s Creations and Clones count as Clay Bombs, and may be detonated reflexively for 0.5 AP. Clones and Creations detonated this way deal 50% of their remaining HP as Elemental Damage, counts as an Explosion Ninjutsu and ends the Clone/Creation technique. This damage cannot be buffed in any way.

Art with Purpose - [Explosion Ninjutsu]
To all Toujigikou the purpose of art is to express one's self with a bang. No one knows if their talent with explosions came first, or their obsession with turning it into a form of art, but only those who seek to create a flawless masterpiece know that not all art needs to be explosive in their start - only in the end, to express the ultimate feeling of transient loss in their never ending amelioration.
Rank 1/2/3: The user summons a Creation that has [2600/3250/3900] HP, -[6/5/4] Secondaries, 3 AP, and basic strikes deal [525/650/800] damage with a [14/17/20]% to cause the 'Blast' effect for 1 AP.
Special Action - Achieving Purpose: The user may spend +20% CP to guarantee a Blast Effect for one strike.
Cost: 2.5 AP, 1200 CP; 600 CP/Rnd
Notes:
- This is a Creation Technique.
- The 'Blast' effect causes this Technique to target an additional enemy with its basic strikes (Random if not stated), and partial hits to be treated one level higher.
- The special action has a cooldown of 5 seconds.

Explosive Aura - [Explosion Ninjutsu]
A unique trait to this school of thought developed by pouring so much of their unstable chakra into their hands, those of Fleeting Perfection will often find themselves able to control their wild energies in ways no other Toujigikou can even dream of. It's often cited that their reason for being able to control this power without actually training for it is that their artistic minds just simply do it accidentally while attempting to create the paragon of temporary art; hence why only one school of art can preform the ability. No one Toujigikou knows how they figured out it - they just do.
Rank 1/2/3: While maintaining this technique, Melee Contact made against or by the user deals [250/315/375] damage. Additionally, if the user is using the Living Clay Bombs - Bloodline style, when the user performs Offensive Taijutsu Techniques they may instead use their Explosion Ninjutsu Accuracy and Damage Buffs.
Special Action - Art is for Everyone: The user may spend 0.5 AP and 20% of the technique's initial CP Cost to apply this technique to any Creations/Clones they are currently maintaining..
Cost: 2.5 AP, 1000 CP; 750 CP to maintain
Notes:
- This Technique is a Chakra Armor technique.
- Offensive Taijutsu Techniques used this way are treated as Explosion Ninjutsu.
- Offensive Taijutsu Techniques require melee contact to be used.

Banzai Bomber - Explosive Ninjutsu
The final form of artistic expression for the Fleeting Perfectionist. The goal of moving forward, slowly, painful clay creation one after another until they reach the zenith of form all culminates into what is considered the ultimate ideal of clay expression. Not to be satisfied with simply creating a perfect figure, it also holds itself as a unparalleled platform in which to do combat from, taking to the sky to avoid those below while the Toujigikou creates even more works of art to rain down on the plebs below. Often given wings of some sort these creatures of clay glide the skies like volatile birds to give any opponent of a Toujigikou a moment to appreciate their flawless form before being dive bombed by the immaculate figure.
Rank 1/2/3: The user summons a Creation with 4750/5940/7125 HP, -2 of the user’s secondaries and 5 AP. The Creation may take the following actions

- Audience Participation: 3 AP - May attempt to Bind a Hostile Target at -1/-0/+1 Acc. This is a Physical Binding Technique, with the Barrier and Escape Chance break conditions.

Notes:

Acceleration of the Clamorous Moment
The other side artistic expression within the Toujigikou clan that splits the idea of what "art" is between two factions. While the former believes that fleeting perfection is the truest art, these Toujigikou focus entirely on the "Bang" part of their explosive creativity. Not just explosions themselves, but the size, the speed, the number, and the surprise factor are all major tenants for this belief in how to express one's art. So while their creations themselves look no where near as perfected and honed as the other side of the artistic hemisphere, they more than make up for that in an adroitnestic payload. The most terrifying part of this side of expression is that you'll never know which kind of Toujigikou you're facing until the bombs start going off - and by then it'll be too late for most.
924 PL - Surprise Art (Rank 1), Blast-off (Rank 1)
1008 PL - Complementary Aesthetic (Rank 1)

Surprise Art - [Passive]
"Art is a bang," is the crying slogan of all Toujigikou that is often spoken before a particular expressive form of their explosive aptitude. Yet, a hallmark of those who see explosions as the end all-be all of their talent will often find their voices drownd out by the sheer number of bombs going off all at once that seemingly come from all sides and angles from no where. Facing against the Toujigikou is one thing, but facing against the madmen in love with their boom-trigger is another feat all together.
Rank 1/2/3: Clay Bombs no longer need to be delayed to gain the bonus +10%/15%/20% chance of being treated as a Sneak Attack. Any Clay Bomb that is delayed, gains an additional +10%/15%/20% chance of being treated as a Sneak Attack.
---
Complementary Aesthetic - Passive
While those of Clamorous Intent don't normally pay as much attention to their clay figure's forms, there is a certain flair in what they do make that is hard to miss. This noticeable form of art isn't expressed in the ways other parts of the clan does it, and instead focuses on the apex of an explosion. Such attention to details that others miss cause their bombs to leave something lingering in those witness to their art shows; something that afflicts the soul deeply with the Toujigikou's wild chakra.
Rank 1/2/3: Explosion Techniques cast by the user can cause Buildup instead of any other listed Secondary Effect. In addition, any suppression caused by the user's Explosion Techniques raises the called shot level of a random limb.
Notes
- When the Target with Buildup uses CP, they take [10/20/30]% of the CP costs as Elemental Damage.
- Elemental damage caused by this gain the user's Explosion Technique Damage Buffs
- The target may spend 1 AP to to remove Buildup.
- The user must specify if they are changing the Secondary Effect to Buildup
- Called Shot levels can only be caused this way every 5 seconds.

Blast-off - Explosive Ninjutsu
Sometimes the perfect performance in art doesn't happen in the moment, and those of this school of thought have recognized that principle far more than other Toujigikou do. To create the greatest explosion in the most profound way that shakes a viewer to their core requires patience, set up, and a lot of clay. It is always a double-take moment for anyone who fights against the artistic clan when they notice which school of art their fighting against after catching a clay-spider buried in the dirt in their peripherals; always just a second too late.
Rank 1/2/3: While this technique is maintained, the user may set Offensive Explosion techniques as a trap at no additional AP cost, with +[1/+1.5/+2] to the Stealth Check. If these traps are destroyed, they explode for 50/75/100% of their actual damage, otherwise the user may chose how the trap is triggered. At Rank 3, the user may set a free E-Rank trap every 5 seconds.
Special Action - Pop Up Exhibit: The user may spend 0.5 AP and 365/455/550 CP to trigger one of their Blast-Off traps as a sneak attack.
Cost: 2.5 AP and 1095 CP, 550 CP/Rnd
Notes:
- Offensive Techniques cast this way use normal Trap rules.
- Offensive Techniques cast this way retain Ninjutsu Acc and Damage Buffs.
- The user may choose the target for the special action.
- Use of the special action has a 10 second cooldown.
---
Oxidation Outbreak - Explosive Ninjutsu
While the greatest form of expression is explosive for the Clamorous, there lies an even more dangerous and lethal technique available only to the most skilled artists of this school of thought. By consuming through their face mouth a chunk of clay, they use their metabolic chakra system to fuse their chakra into their clay, and themselves, until the clay overlaps the user creating a gigantic bomb with the appearance of a giant clone of themselves. Once it explodes however, there is no actually explosion or visible effect; revealing themselves again after. What really happens is that the artist releases thousands upon thousands of microscopic bombs invisible to the naked eye, and all but the most powerful Doujutsu. Once scattered over the region these bombs proceed to enter the body through the mouth, nose, and even the very skin of those unfortunate enough to be in the area. Once inside the body, they proceed to the blood stream were upon detonation, can disintegrate all but the most powerful shinobi from the inside out. It is their ultimate form of art as the explosions numbered within are impossible to count even if one can't fully see them.
Rank 1/2/3: When the user casts this technique, and every 10 seconds after, they attempt to hit all valid hostile targets [7/9/11] times. Each hit deals [180/225/270] damage at -[2/1/0] Accuracy and +1 Critical, but may only affect any single target up to [5/6/7] times. Each consecutive hit adds +10/15/20% chance to cause suppression.
Special Action - Möbius Explosives: While this technique is being maintained, when the user casts an Offensive Explosive Technique of C-Rank or lower, they may pay +0.5 AP and 10% CP cost to cast a duplicate of the same Technique again dealing 25% base damage. If used on an Offensive Technique that was auto-dodged, the copied technique may target that target normally.
Cost: 2.5 AP; 880 CP, 440 CP/rnd.
Note:
- This is a Terrain Technique
- This technique may be maintained for up to 30 seconds.

Atomic Impressionism - [Explosion Ninjutsu]
One of the most devastating and, in the opinion of the Clamorous, the most beautiful technique of the Toujigikou clan resides within this form of art. By actually training to gain a full control over their explosive element these artists learn how to infuse more than just clay with their chakra. By holding their hands open palm-facing their opponents, the hands within can draw in air that causes their forearms to expand before expelling an invisible fog full of explosive chakra that can be activated with the clan's unique triggering handseal. Due to the explosive air's natural invisible nature it's considered impossible to escape from such a masterful showmanship until the artist themselves are ready to stop.
Rank 1/2/3: The user attempts to deal [3850/4770/5740] Damage at -[2/1/0] Accuracy to all within the battle, including the user. This technique gains +10% Damage for every 10 seconds that it is maintained, up to +30% after a total of 30 seconds.
Cost: 3 AP and 2640 CP, 1320 CP/Rnd
Note:
- This Technique cannot be auto-dodged.
- This Technique may be maintained for up to 30 seconds.
- Barrier, Bind and Arena’s do not protect from this technique.
- This technique's damage is not dealt until the technique ends.
- This technique's damage is still dealt even if the user is KO'd or Killed.
- The user is immune to this technique if maintaining Blast Off
