Chakra and Jutsu

To use jutsu you don’t need to spend countless posts weaving hand seals. It’s all about the action. However, you do have to app for the jutsu you wish to have. You apply for the jutsu in the Registration area, and once it’s approved you can train it and once the training is approved and the jutsu has been paid for you can then move it into your List.



Please note that the jutsu you can use depends on the rank of your character.

While you're overall limited to the rank of jutsu you can use via your rank:

Genin: D, C
Chuunin: D, C, B
Special Jounin: D, C, B, A
Jounin ( A ): D, C, B, A, S
Jounin ( S ) / Kage: D, C, B, A, S, SS

You may have any number of the jutsu your allowed for your rank. However, those using jutsu above their ranks limitation must pay double chakra cost.

Genin: Can use up to A (B and A Cost Double Chakra to Use)
Chuunin: Can use up to A (A Cost Double Chakra to Use)
Special Jounin: Can use up to S (S Cost Double Chakra to Use)
Jounin A-Rank: Can use up to SS (SS Cost Double Chakra to Use)

There are several ranks to Jutsu, including a specific rank meant for Jutsu that surpass even SS:

D – Rank: Low Power Jutsu
C – Rank: Medium power Jutsu
B – Rank: Medium High powerful Jutsu
A – Rank: Highly powerful Jutsu
S – Rank: More Common, but very Power Jutsu
SS – Rank: Rare, Exceptionally Powerful Jutsu
Legendary – Rank: These are Jutsu such as Susanoo

Defensive power is done in a fairly simple fashion. Typically a defensive jutsu can withstand 1 attack of a rank above though this attack will break through the defense while losing power, causing it to hit with a -2 to its overall power. Defensive techniques can protect against 1 technique of the same rank, 2 techniques of a rank lower, 3 techniques of two ranks lower, and is unaffected by techniques three ranks and lower than it.

An example: An A rank technique hit by an S rank technique will be instantly broken, however the S rank technique will lose power, causing it to hit with the power and do the damage of a B rank technique. Otherwise an A rank technique will withstand an attack from one A rank attack before breaking afterwards, or 2 B rank attacks, or 3 C rank attacks. D rank attacks and lower would not affect an A rank defensive jutsu.




Depending on the rank of the jutsu you’re training depends on the cost and word count you’ll need. This is the same even if you’re being trained by a sensei.

• D rank: 150 Ryo + 750 words
  

• C rank: 200 Ryo + 1000 words
  

• B rank: 250 Ryo + 1500 words
  

• A rank: 300 Ryo + 2000 words
  

• S rank: 500 Ryo + 2500 words
  

• SS rank: 2500 Ryo + 5000 words
  

• Legendary rank: 10,000 Ryo + 15,000 words
  

When you start a character, you'll be given a set number of starting freebie jutsu.

Genin: 6D, 4C (10 Total)
Chuunin: 6D, 6C, 3B (15 Total)
Special Jounin: 10D, 6C, 3B, 1A (20 Total)
Jounin A: 10D, 6C, 4B, 4A, 1S (25 Total)
Kage: 10D, 10C, 5B, 4A, 1S (30 Total)

Using Jutsu costs chakra, and it all depends on the rank of the jutsu you’re using.

• D: 10
  

• C: 15
  

• B: 20
  

• A: 25
  

• S: 30
  

• SS: 35
  

• Legendary: 50
  

If you’re using a prolonged jutsu you may have to pay an additional cost of chakra for each post your jutsu continues.

• D: 5 every turn
  

• C: 10 every turn
  

• B: 15 every turn
  

• A: 20 every turn
  

• S: 25 every turn
  

• SS: 30 every turn
  

• Legendary: 45 every turn
  

Remember, this is the base minimum chakra drain for the ranks. Certain jutsu may cost more, at the discretion of the admins.

Chakra is based on your characters rank, though it can be increased due to to certain circumstances. If if you reach 0 chakra and your character does not received medical attention immediately (Within 3 posts unless otherwise stated) you will die.

The bases are as follows:

• Genin (D): 500
  

• Chuunin (C): 600
  

• S. Jounin (B): 700
  

• Jounin (A): 800
  

• Jounin (S): 900
  

• Kage: 1,000
  

So the basic system is that you start at base 400 chakra, and gain an even 100 chakra per rank up.

These amounts are not set in stone. In order to gain even larger chakra pools, you will need to train your Chakra (CHA) Stat. Doing so will grant you additional chakra for a grand total of 300 additional chakra at max rank. Not counting special events and the like, that gives us a grand total of 1200 chakra for an S-Rank Jounin/Kage with an SS-Rank Chakra (CHA) Stat.

The training and such for Stats can be found at the Stat Guide.


Also be aware: anytime you use a jutsu in a thread or fight, you MUST post the coding for the jutsu, as well as your remaining chakra/full chakra in a spoiler at the bottom of the post. Once you start using jutsu, the chakra must be posted at the end of each post in order to keep track of your current levels.

This is required at all times. If we find you've been skipping this step; there will be consequences. If you are in the middle of a mission, travel, training, etc; then you may also post your word counts in this same spoiler.
