NAME: Nori Yamada


AGE: 17


GENDER: Female


KEKKEI GENKAI: None


PERSONALITY: Nori has always been a bit of a loner growing up. She never really had any friends because she always acted like one of the boys. She liked to get into fights and always came home in dirty clothes. She was a bit rebellious and acted out when she was younger, but that was simply to get the attention of her parents that were always busy with the market stand they owned. She can sometimes be quite stubborn and hard headed, but she is a kind hearted and hard-working young lady. Boys sometimes find her to be intimidating because she is not like your average, ordinary girl. She is not afraid to put people in their place or to tell it like it is, which is another reason why people tend to shun her. She is too straight forward and honest. Some people see her as a brute because she acts so much like a boy, but that is actually a mask to hide how scared she is to be so vulnerable. She doesn’t like to show her weakness, fearing that people will just take advantage of her. There is no doubt kindness in her…

BACKGROUND: Nori grew up in the village of Konoha with her parents and younger brother, Kian. Her parents were originally from Ishigakure, the land of stones, but had migrated to Konoha when she was just a baby. They own a plot of line near the outskirts of the village were they grow fresh fruits and vegetables for the tiny market they own. When Nori and her brother aren't at the academy, the two of them usually are found helping their parents maintain the market. Although they were a bit on the strict side when it came their behavior and descipline, they still wanted their children to have a life outside of school and work. However, despite Kian being able to make friends quite easily, she didn't have that luxury. At the academy, she was found mostly hanging around the guys and none of the girls wanted to be friends with her because she was a tomboy, who liked to get dirty and fight all the time.

Although Nori didn't seem as if she could do nothing but fight, there was one thing that liked to do most: learn martial arts. One of her biggest inspirations was Rock Lee who specialized in taijutsu. She never really excelled in ninjutsu or genjutsu, but when it came to physical, hand to hand combat, no one could match her.

Style: Taijutsu: Strong Fist: the main focus is to cause external damage and break bones. This fighting style involves smashing your opponent and is generally used only by the physically powerful and dominating shinobi.

A Rank Techniques:

A Rank: Eight Gates

The Eight Gates are eight specific tenketsu on a person's Chakra Pathway System which limit the overall flow of chakra within a person's body. The basis for the idea of the chakra gates comes from the body's limits on the functions within it. This makes the body much weaker, but it keeps the body from expiring too soon. By undergoing intense training, one can learn how to open these gates allowing the user to surpass their own physical limits at the cost of extreme damage to their own body.

1. The Gate of Opening: located in the brain, removes the restraints of the brain on the muscles so 100% of the user's strength can be used whereas normally, a person can only use 20% of their muscles' strength to keep them from disintegrating. Unlocking this gate allows the user to use the Front Lotus.

2. The Gate of Healing: located in the brain, forcibly increases the user's physical strength and temporarily re-energises the body.

B-Rank Techniques:

Shadow of the Dancing Leaf
1. A technique used to appear behind an airborne opponent, mimicking how their body is positioned, just like a leaf that dances in the air is followed by its shadow. While harmless on its own, it is used as a stepping stone to perform techniques such as the Front Lotus and the Lion Combo. The technique is usually preceded by a swift upper kick that will launch the target into the air.

Bloody Mist Sword Art: Bone Mutilation {Newly Acquired Technique}
2. The Bloody Mist Sword Art: Bone Mutilation is a technique unique to Kirigakure. Using Hiramekarei, the user creates a large amount of light-blue chakra needles, which are then sent flying at their opponent. Once impaled, the needles disrupts the victim's chakra pathway system, which will then lead to them slowly dying.

C-RANK Techniques:

Leaf Rising Wind: This technique uses the entire body as a spring, by amassing power through taking a posture where the back of the body falls down. With this powerful taijutsu, the user kicks just above the head. Because the power of the kick from the ground is instantly converted into a blow, the enemy hit with this attack will be launched high into the sky. This technique can also be initiated while mid-air.

Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu: This technique where chakra kneaded inside the body is converted into fire, and expelled from the mouth in a massive orb of roaring flame. The scope of the attack is altered by controlling the volume of chakra that is mustered. The released flames will engulf their target, and leave a crater on the ground's surface. The fireball is normally blown through a ring made by the thumb and index finger of the user. However, some users are seen doing this technique without making a ring over their mouth.

Fire Style: Phoenix Sage Fire: This technique creates a volley of small fireballs, which are sent flying in an unpredictable manner assaulting the enemy. In addition, the flames are controlled one by one with chakra, so avoiding them all is extremely difficult. Shuriken can also be concealed within the flames, creating an unexpected secondary surprise attack. Like the flames, the shuriken can be controlled with chakra. For the most part, however, this technique is used as a distraction.

Earth Style: Earth Shore Return: After striking the ground with their hands, it creates a large wall of earth in front of them. The defense is not perfect though, since a hard or drilling impact such as the Spiked Human Bullet Tank technique can puncture the wall. Also, since this technique only guards against frontal attacks, the enemy can easily attack from the side or even from above.

Primary Lotus
The user kicks their opponent into the air and then uses Shadow of the Dancing Leaf. Once behind their opponent, the user restrains them and pile-drives them into the ground head first while rotating at a ferocious speed. Due to the use of one of the Eight Gates, the user is left extremely fatigued, making this technique a "double-edged sword". It may also be used on multiple people at once.


D-Rank Techniques:

Leaf Whirlwind: this is a technique that mainly focuses on delivering both high and low kicks. Didn't the evasion margin is restrained by the high kick, thus augmenting the chances of delivering a low kick to hit the mark. It can be used as a roundhouse kick either alone or in unison with someone else for efficiency.

Dynamic Entry: the essential basic technique of this principal is to perform a kick to your opponent's face. It is best to cause a distraction while using this technique.

Dance of the Reverse Swallow {Newly Acquired}: Dance of the Reverse Swallow (裏燕の舞, Ura Tsubame no Mai) is an advanced kenjutsu style developed by Nōsei no Mikoto as an expansion to the Turning Swallow Cut. Like its predecessor, this technique can perform two sequential strikes at such speed that an opponent may not be unable to discern them both. Dance of the Turning Swallow is executed by first performing a faux slash towards an enemy. While this strike doesn't strike a target it positions the user's blade for a reverse strike the follows the same arc but with the opposite direction. This reverse strike is then immediately covered by a final forward strike upon the enemy. Due to the speed of the reverse strike the unaided eye will only be able to able to visually grasp the forward strikes, blending the faux and final slashes into single movement. Though, being able to track the movements of even this "slash" is limited to individuals with particularly keen senses. This allows the user to effectively double all of their sword strikes, subsequently generating confusion amongst enemies, but requires that their cuts are relatively linear. Despite this, Dance of Turning Swallow can be performed in rapid succession allowing the the user unleash a myriad of strikes in an instant.

While relatively simple this technique requires seamless precision and a notable amount of stamina to be continuous performed. Therefore it is not surprising that its usage can be completely devastating when performed on opponents.
