Yoshitsune

Yoshitsune (義経, Yoshitsune) is a strange being created from and 's chakra melded together into the  chakra of  which was binded to a fertilized egg by. He was later taken to Konohagakure by after killing the snake sannin, and was left in  for protectiong and was in the care of  until he could find the child a family and home. Naruto would leave the child with Kazesō who would raise him alongside Ninigi Senju. Despite his love for the village and what he owed to it, Yoshitsune would eventually flee the village due to learning the true darkeness that lived in the village. Later in life, Yoshitsune has been labeled as an S-rank ninja.

He later helped formed the Land of Origin and Gingagakure with the help of Sakin, Ninigi, and the locals of the area. With that he would be offered the position of being the Genkage, the leader of the new village, but would deny the postion and have Ninigi take the position. Due to his fame in the shinobi world, Yoshitsune has been given various titles and monikers. Some have joked that Yoshitsune has as many talents as the number of petals of the blossoms on a cherry tree, earning him the moniker of "Thousand Cherry Blossoms" (千本桜, Senbonzakura). This title is said to be Yoshitsune's personal favorite. After mastering the Six Paths and reading the history of the tablet hidden in the, Yoshitsune would seek to fulfill Hagoromo's dreams, and would set out to try and help bring peace to the world.

Background
A world remade with knowledge of. A world remade with wonder of the past. , the mad scientist and member the, lusted for such powers found in the tomes of years that have past. Orochimaru was one of the few shinobi outside of the to ever set his sights on the  tablet, the greatest tome of knowledge on the great God of Shinobi Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki, the Sage of the Six Paths, and one of the even fewer to understand the message it beared. Such knowledge led to the reviving of, who would eventually truly return to life and become the of the recreated  and would place the world into the Infinite Tsukuyomi and ensnare them in the God: Nativity of a World of Trees, making them live out their dreams in safety as their chakra and mind were eaten away. Orochimaru himself was one of the victims of this powerful ability. Unlike most, however, Orochimaru's dream was for power and for knowledge. Combining his deepest dream of knowledge with the fact he had taken over a body, the tree, the extension of, viewed him as not a threat, but as a soldier without the commander's orders. The tree, combining knowledge of Kaguya herself and of Hagoromo, which it had gained from its time sealed in the man, flowed it to the snake sannin, feeding him the true nature of the Naka Shrine tablet in the process. With the Infinite Tsukuyomi being released, Orochimaru quickly went to work, dispersing into snakes and collecting samples of DNA and of, the reincarnations of the sons of Hagoromo,  and. From the Orochimaru learned Indra and Asura reincarnated into new beings, and had knowledge now of Hagoromo's power being born of both their chakra, rather than the clans themselves. Orochimaru, though had hints from the Ten-Tails roots, a portion of Kaguya herself, clearly knew that Sasuke and Naruto were the current hosts of the spirits of Indra and Asura, thus explaining why he went to obtain their blood, which was plentiful on their battlefield from fighting. Taking these samples to one of his many Otogakure hideouts, he attempted to bind their blood together in an advanced cloning process. The blood would reject each other and breakdown, leaving only the pure chakra of Indra and Asura, which slowly began to bind together back into the chakra of Hagoromo. Orochimaru would then take note of this and apply into the cloning machine an unknown fertilized egg, presumably from parents with blood ties to Hagoromo. The chakra would begin to bind to the egg and merge with it, overriding portions of the DNA to more closely match Hagoromo's own genetic code. The artificial womb allowed the child to begin to grow. Orochimaru would be delighted by the success of years of work finally paying off, doing this experiment as he could raise the child under his princibles to condition the child to be his loyal subject as so Orochimaru could eventually take the child's body as his own. Orochimaru also did this way as to gain the much larger pool of powerful chakra network, a powerful chakra network and eyes crafted by the chakra of Indra and perfect and powerful body and life force crafted by the chakra of Asura that he hypothosised the child would have due to Hagoromo, as Orochimaru himself lacked a powerful body and had a lesser reserve of chakra. All went according to plan, the child developed into a healthy baby, and as Orochimaru held him like a twisted father, the child's saviour had arrived. Sasuke had appeared in the base, with Sasuke revealing that part of his travels around the world included destroying bases and outposts for Orochimaru and Otogakure, with this one Sasuke discovered Orochimaru was there, deciding to finally end the life of the snake sannin as Sasuke had either killed the Cursed Seal victims of Orochimaru or remove the seal if the were to remain calm. Sasuke battled Orochimaru, nd eventually would use the Chidori Sharp Spear to stab the crazy man through the heart and sliced down, killing him effectively. Sasuke set fire to the corpse with Amaterasu and was about to leave as he heard the child begin to cry. Sasuke picked up the child, he noted with his sensory abilities that the chakra of the created child was nearly identical to Hagoromo's when he had the Sage greet him in his body. Sasuke was unsure of allowing the child to live, but thought of Naruto, his ever merciful best friend, and spared the child by taking him to Konohagakure and left with Naruto under the instruction of making sure the child was cared for and did not suffer the lonliness that both he and Naruto suffered. Naruto promised this, and would leave the child in the care of a Kazesō, a well-known monk, knowing the man was lacking of hatred and who had also learned the ways of the shinobi from Naruto himself, and had explained his story. From that point on it was Kazesō who raised the young child who quickly began getting stronger during his development into an individual. Kazesō would named the child Yoshitsune, after his own father. Graduating from the academy, he was placed on a genin team with Kazesō as the jōnin instructor, with Ninigi Senju and an unknown female, some believe she was a Hyūga, as his teammates. This group was called the strongest of the genin teams. When the chūnin exams rolled around, the team entered and were promoted to the rank of chūnin. During the exam Oto-nin who knew of Yorinori began to taunt Yoshitsune, calling the boy a mere created vessel and his only purpose was to be a weapon. The group placed Yoshitsune under a genjutsu that showed what Yoshitsune's life may have been like with Yorinori, a boy trained from morning to midnight to become Yorinori's new body before trying to kill him. Ninigi threw a kunai at Yoshitsune in a non-vital area, the pain from it waking Yoshitsune up from the genjutsu. Yoshitsune activated the Rinnegan after this, the pain of knowing the truth, he was not a normal child, he was a creature created for destruction made the eye manifest. They tried to place Yoshitsune in another genjutsu, but Yoshitsune was able to break it as it was set. Yoshitsune and Ninigi then quickly defeated the three Oto-nin. Some time later, Yoshitsune still sat in the revelation and began to hate himself until Kazesō and Ninigi came to him. Kazesō said despite the terms of his life, Yoshitsune was still human, and above all, he was Kazesō's beloved son and student. Ninigi called Yoshitsune his brother, and joked how as Yoshitsune was made from Asura, they were related by chakra. Yoshitsune embraced the two, and accepted his past is not of his control, but his future is.

Years later on one of his last team missions with his sensei and father-figure Kazesō, the two were ambushed by Kumo-nin. Kazesō knew that in their state they were both doomed and demanded Yoshitsune to flee while he held the group off. Kazesō proceeded to use his skill to fight them off as best he could, but ultimately died as a result. Yoshitsune would return after hearing the howls of his father-figure's pain and seeing the dead body of his teacher made his Rinnegan reactivate for the first time since the exams. He then used the techniques it granted to avenge his fallen master. Years would pass and Yoshitsune became a jōnin and even served as an Anbu member. While serving as an Anbu, Yoshitsune would locate files on many attacks and events done by Konoha. While many were justified, many were also dark and served nothing but to defend the government of Konoha. Yoshitsune would learn of dark events like the, , and the true reasons of why moved the UChiha clan, not for protection, but for fear of them. Yoshitsune grew to distrust his village, and finally would read his own story for being brought to Konoha. He would discover how he was nearly killed by Sasuke, and how Sasuke and Naruto brought him to the village for safe keeping. Yoshitsune would flee his home that night, leaving no trace of himself for the corrupt village to follow. After this he formed a partnership with a man named Sakin, who would travel with his new found friend after Yoshitsune treated the wounds Sakin recieved in battle with Yoshitsune who has offered to train with him. Slowly, Yoshitsune's attitude change. He desired village, one free of previous wars that could be a safe haven. Finding an island and with the help of his team and the locals, he created Land of Origin. Here, with the help of the locals once more, formed the new village Gingagakure. He would be offered the position of the first Genkage of the village, but would deny it, saying Ninigi would be a superior leader than him. Ninigi, despite this, would honorarily give him the rank of kage. With his eyes, body, and chakra that of the, he eventually ventured out and was able to access the. Here he learned of the Sage's true name, the Sage's mother Kaguya, the, the , the ' origins, and the rest of the secrets held in the tablet. Soon after this though,, the Sage of the Six Paths, appeared to Yoshitsune in his mindscape. The great Sage retold the history, and had Yoshitsune fix all changes created by, as well as new additional information he learned through and  during their battle with Kaguya, the Sage's own mother. Yoshitsune began to share this information with the world, by setting out from Ginga from time to time. Hagoromo, to help Yoshitsune on his mission against those who seek to conceal the truth, granted him the full power of his chakra. In this process Yoshitsune's chakra levels inscreased to an even greater level. Despite this, Yoshitsune did not gain the Six Paths Yin Power and the Six Paths Yang Power of Hagoromo, as Hagoromo stated these seals are only given out for a true purpose, and that Yoshitsune has no need for them currently. After this, Yoshitsune's regular eyes changed into their Rinnegan form permanently. Yoshitsune still keeps affiliation with his village though, and told the villagers should any problem so large the entire village could not handle it, he would return to them in their time of need as quickly as he could. After this, Yoshitsune exited the village to wander the world, helping people as best as he could just as Hagoromo asked of him.

Appearance
Yoshitsune, much like other 'archaic' members of the Uchiha and Senju clans, bears the appearance of their noble birth coursing through his veins strongly. His formerly detached and cold persona immediately translates to the stance he takes in daily life: upright, but with a slight slouch to represent his detached state of mind. One particular portion of his appearance is his figure. He is relatively tall, but holds a lean and trim figure, which, combined with the various experiences he has been through, is highly muscular. This is combined with his spiky black hair that faces towards his right, obscuring a portion of his angular, handsome, face and strikingly cold black eyes, morphing into the image that can only be called Yoshitsune. His eyes are also commonly found in their Rinnegan form, being purple in color that colors both the irides and the sclerae completely with rippled-rings, though this was not permenant and could be turned on and off at some point.

The main attire that Yoshitsune wears is rather simple. He began to wear a simple long-sleeved, black, v-necked shirt. He also wears a pair of black pants nearly of a fairly average style and appearance, with white bandages on the shins some what like the style of 's. He also retains the same style of black sandals. He also wears his hair in a nice look, as it is fairly long and straight with a wild touch to it.

Yoshitsune's primary appearance would change one more time. After recieving 's, the Sage of the Six Paths, power from the man himself, Yoshitsune's Rinnegan would become permanently active. Yoshitsune would hide himself away in a temple, away from Gingagakure after leaving to to help spread peace to the world, and would change his appearance in isolation. His hair would grow out longer, past his nick, becoming upper back length. He would have two fringes framing his face, with the right fringe being tied in a fashion similar to Hagoromo's. Yoshitsune would also grow a beard, one he keeps stylised in a fashion somewhat like 's. Yoshitsune also changes his shirt to a red and white short kimono that he keeps tied with a red sash, alongside black pants that he is usually known to wear. Through time, Yoshitsune's Rinnegan also developed six tomoe in each eye, three on the ring closest to the pupil and three on the ring just outside of the innermost ring.

Personality
Yoshitsune in his childhood was known to be a kind-hearted child and sympathetic with those around him. When one of his friends was hurt he would always visit them in the hospital or at their home to make sure they are okay and to cheer them up. This made him rather popular as it showed how he truly cared for others. He was also rather cocky when it came to fighting, even going as far as to challenge jōnin despite their superior training and discipline, often leaving Yoshitsune being beaten embarrassingly fast. Once he defected from the village his personality changed, as he became more serious and less juvenile. He became less cocky when fighting and kept his Rinnegan active to deter his foes from fighting him, as many would fear the eyes. Now in battles he shows respect to his foes, generally allowing them to speak if they desire to without interruption. Though he is generally kind, Yoshitsune is more than willing to kill if he has to. In battles if he gets taunted by the foe with insults towards what he cherishes, Yoshitsune lets his anger show through, seemingly becoming somewhat sadistic in the process. These moments often arise from insults directed at his village and his villagers. Despite these changes though, Yoshitsune retains his kindness and loving nature. At times he is even called jovial. He extends this care and friendship to his friends and team. He even claims to go as far as allowing his total annihilation to defend his village Gingagakure. Yoshitsune retains his ability to forgive most people, such as forgiving Sakin of his ambush attack on him when they first met. He loves all the villagers of Gingagakure. He can become relaxed around his long time friends Ninigi Senju and Sakin, and even jokes around with them further acting like his youthful self. He even remained good friends with Ninigi after leaving Konoha and prior to Ninigi joining Ginga, often meeting with him to catch up. Yoshitsune recognizes Ninigi as his true best friend, often trying to convince the Senju to join his village. Yoshitsune though did not get angry when Ninigi denied it, knowing that the Senju loves Konoha despite its faults, though was notably very happy when Ninigi eventually joined him. In battle, while retaining respect, is also known to compliment his foes, which some interpret as him mocking them. Despite his kindness, Yoshitsune is also known to have random bouts of egotism and can become arrogant, due to Yoshitsune still having a prideful nature. Yoshitsune is also noted to strongly like things he deems cute.

Abilities
Due to the circumstanses of his birth, Yoshitsune has a large amount of powerful and potent chakra, said to be comparable to that of a easily. He is a master of many techniques, many of which are feared nationally and has expert precision with all of them. Though he isn't highly muscular, he is quite strong. Kazesō even says that would have been mildly impressed by the physical strength of the Uchiha. As he was created using 's chakra in him, he gained the powerful physical energy and life force of the Senju, while Indra's chakra gave him the Uchiha-like monstrous levels of potent and powerful chakra. His already great stamina was increased as he grew older and activated more of the power in his body. With his "Six Paths Power" (六道の力, Rikudō no Chikara) would also give him the ability to power technique up to the point of rivaling senjutsu-based abilities, even being able to damage Truth-Seeking Balls with it.

Rinnegan
The first time his Rinnegan would activate would be during his own chūnin exams. During the exams, Yoshitsune would encounter ninja from Otogakure, the Village Hidden in the Sound. These ninja knew of Yorinori Uchiha and his agenda to create the perfect vessel. One of the ninja was a sensor, and could tell Yoshitsune had chakra from and  in his body, and figured out Yoshitsune's identity as the created child, born to Yorinori's vessel. The Otogakure ninja would attack Yoshitsune, and reveal these dark secrets. They would trap Yoshitsune inside of a genjutsu to show Yoshitsune the life he was made for. It showed Yoshitsune creation as best it could, and him being trained from morning to midnight under painful conditions, fashioned to bring out his power as greatly and quickly as possible. The genjutsu showed Yorinori taking over Yoshitsune's body before looping back to his birth and training. Ninigi Senju would attack Yoshitsune in this state, throwing a kunai to stab him in a non-vital area to awaken him from the genjutsu. Yoshitsune's pain from the stab mixed with the mental effects from the revelations on his birth made the Rinnegan activate. He would blow the Oto-nin away with one of the powers of the eye before he and Ninigi would finish them off. Yoshitsune's Rinnegan deactivated and became dormant again until he was older. On a mission with Kazesō, the two were ambused by ninja from Kumogakure, the Village Hidden in the Clouds. Kazesō knew the two of them were outnumbered and outmatches by the Kumo-nin and demanded Yoshitsune to flee as he held them off. Yoshitsune begrudgingly obeys and ran as fast as he could as Kasesō prevented the Kumogakure ninja from giving chase. Yoshitsune would hear the screams and howls of pains from his sensei and would begin to return. Finding Kazesō dead, Yoshitsune's rage made the Rinnegan reawaken in him, and made use of its powers to annihilate the Kumo-nin. This time, the Rinnegan remained in his arsenal, and Yoshitsune could turn it on and off at will. With time, chakra consumption from the eye being activated became minimal, and as such Yoshitsune can keep it activated for long periods of time without any ill effect, from days to weeks, and likely could keep it active without ever needing to deactivate it again.

The eye grants Yoshitsune the ability to use the Six Paths Technique. He has unlocked the Deva Path, which gives him power over gravity. This is the path Yoshitsune uses most often in combat. The techniques used by the though often force a recharge before the path is usable again. As such he gained its technique known as Shinra Tensei, which allows him to create a repulsive force that can block projectiles and easily shatter many hard materials. He can also use a large-scale version that can damage the terrain greatly. Yoshitsune also makes use of shadow clones to preform a multiple blast variation, and while the waves themselves weaken, the number can leave a more controlled area of devastation. With this style, Yoshitsune can use to clones to surround a foe and have the multiple waves slam into the foe on all sides, crushing them easily. He also gains the Banshō Ten'in, which allows him to create an attractive force, allowing him to pull objects or people towards him at high speeds. He often uses this technique in combination with another path to absorb their chakra to render them too weak to fight. Yoshitsune can also use clones to preform a multiple pull effect, such as one pull on each side of a foe to tear the foe apart. Yoshitsune also can use the technique known as Chibaku Tensei, which creates a powerful singularity which will be fired into the sky and pulls objects towards it making them compress with each other causing a large sphere to form. After using a technique from the Deva Path, Yoshitsune requires a cooldown period until he can use it again. Yoshitsune can preform the Fire Release: August Star of Heaven, in which Yoshitsune creates a regular Chibaku Tensei gravity center with his Rinnegan, but infuses fire chakra into it, causing the sphere to gain a burning appearance. Yoshitsune will then throw the sphere into the air, and it will act like a normal Chibaku Tensei at first, ripping the terrain apart and pulling it in, until the earth of the terrain makes contact with the sphere, which causes it to erupt into flames, making a large burning satellite that will destroy nearly all it consumes until it finishes growing, at which point it will seal within anything that survived the heat of the inferno. Yoshitsune can also disperse the gravity center and make the burning rock fall apart and rain down on the destroyed terrain. Yoshitsune is also able to use the Preta Path, which allows him to absorb chakra, making most ninjutsu unusable on him. Yoshitsune has also unlocked the ability of the Asura Path. This ability allows him to modify his body and make himself a living weapon by tranformings part into weapons. The Asura Attack allows him to change a limb into a blaster that fires blasts of chakra that also have an explosive effect. Yoshitsune can further use the Flaming Arrow of Amazing Ability to fire part of his arm as a projectile. The hand of the arm gains a propulsive power from the burst of chakra that separates the limb from the body and flies in a straight line with high levels of force. The hand can easily shatter bedrock and is protected by a layer of chakra, allowing it to resist being damaged. The detached limb can easily reattach itself to Yoshitsune through the chakra of the arm, which acts like a magnet. Yoshitsune can also use the Naraka Path for interrogation and use of the, as when he catches hold of somebody he can make the King of Hell appear and hold them in place by seemingly paralyzing him. Yoshitsune uses the Naraka Path in such away that while making contact with the foe, should they lie his body will respond immidiately by sending a powerful shock into them as a form of torture rather than the conventional use of the King of Hell's, and should they tell the truth they will be let go after having a large portion of their chakra absorbed by the Preta Path. This seems to indicate that those who had the Rinnegan need not summon the King of Hell, as they become their own King of Hell. He can also form powerful chains of chakra with the Outer Path. Yoshitsune is able to use the Animal Path, which allows him to summon animals connected to the Rinnegan, such as a strange, golden phoenix-dragon hybrid and an eight-legged horse. While used in combat some times, Yoshitsune uses these beasts for travel more often than not. Yoshitsune can further apply usage of his Asura Path through his Animal Path summons as they are connected to his Rinnegan, allowing Yoshitsune to rapidly enhance and shape them with the machine-like ability, as well as usage of the other paths. Yoshitsune also is able to use the Human Path, which allows him to read the mind of somebody but also tear their soul out in the process. Yoshitsune doesn't use the Human Path in combat often, but when he does he often employs it as to only remove part of the soul he is targeting it, and then quickly sever that one part, often through usage of a blade created through the Asura Path. After this is preformed, the part of the body that lost its soul will begin to rot. Yoshitsune has access to the Outer Path, being able to use it to form chakra rods that can transmit and recieve chakra, and use them as weapons. He seems to use these rods in a fashion similar to the Shikotsumyaku. Yoshitsune can also use the rods to exert his will over those pierced by them. Yoshitsune also spreads the chakra recievers over a large area and will transmit the power of the Asura Attack through them to cause all of the rods to make beams of chakra in vast quantities to activate his technique known as the White Rain Technique, and Yoshitsune can control every single beam over this vast area, as well as connect the chakra rods with the Asura beams to form a deadly web.

Yoshitsune can also use his Rinnegan to use the Limbo: Border Jail to project a clone or clones of himself in the "Limbo" (輪墓, Wheel Grave) realm. These clones are extremely powerful, and can tackle down large foes such as Susanoo and. The shadows of this strange technique can only operate for five minutes before returning to Yoshitsune for a cool down time. The clone shadow can also be harmed by techniques made of 's chakra, and any harm put on the clone is transferred to Yoshitsune when the shadow returns to him. With mastery over the technique, Yoshitsune seems to not gain the wounds of his Limbo shadows when they return to him anymore, and just feels a surge of pain along the area where the wound was recieved for a moment, and through training and pain endurance, Yoshitsune overcame even this lesser weakness. Yoshitsune can use the Rinnegan to cast power genjutsu, similar to that of the Sharingan's genjutsu ability, but on a much grander scale, and potent enough to fool even the Mangekyō Sharingan. With his mastry of the technique, Yoshitsune can also make time in the illusion seem to get much slower than time in the real world, in a similar vein to that of. Yoshitsune can shift his location with his Rinnegan as well by using the technique known as Amenotejikara, allowing him to instantly move from one area to another. The range of this technique can also be increased if he trades places with an object, which Yoshitsune often employs with his Limbo clones. He further maximized usage of the ability by being able to teleport directly to any chakra reciever he has made wherever it may be, in a vein even closer to that of the Flying Thunder God Technique. This technique does have a cooldown period, but due to Yoshitsune possessing two Rinnegan his cooldown time is significantly shorter than 's, and Yoshitsune can use the technique five times before having to recharge it. Yoshitsune also gained the ability to use all of the basic chakra nature transformations, and has, over time, mastered them all. The Rinnegan also gives him immunity from visual-based genjutsu.

Eventually, after recieving power from Hagoromo himself, the eyes would become permanently active. With his great usage of the power granted to him by these eyes, both his left and right Rinnegan would develop six tomoe in each, both looking the same as 's single Rinnegan. The pattern was the same in each eye, with three tomoe on the innermost ring to the pupil and three more on the second innermost ring. After gaining these tomoe, Yoshitsune's Rinnegan abilities grew stronger, and his eyes could also preform tasks like that of the Sharingan's basic abilities, such as being able to predict opponents' movements.

Ninjutsu
Truly, ninjutsu is where Yoshitsune shines in battle. As previously stated, Yoshitsune has very high levels of extremely potent chakra due to his creation being a result of the merge of and 's chakra to create 's powerful chakra, being compared to a  on numerous occasions, which allows him to use many high level techniques in succession. Yoshitsune also has the stamina to keep up with this usage of ninjutsu. Yoshitsune also possesses a power once held by, a healing ability that allows him to heals wounds rapidly, and by applying yin–yang chakra to it Yoshitsune can even regrow limbs.

Nature Transformation
Yoshitsune's affinity is the Fire Release and wields it with great skill. He was able to burn down a medium size base with his Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique, a technique that creates a large ball of fire that can break through harder substances as well. This seems to be his most used and favorite fire technique. He also mastered powerful fire techniques such as the Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation, which creates a powerful wall of fire that damages a wide area that takes multiple water users to extinquish. This fire technique is rightly feared for these reasons. One of his other major techniques allows Yoshitsune to create a spiraling flaming attack that moves forward extremly fast, all while it expands greatly, making it very difficult technique to avoid.

While fire is Yoshitsune's main element and affinity, he also uses two other basic natures in combat more often than the other basic ones excluding fire. He possesses knowledge on Lightning Release, and has been shown to use a few techniques with it. With the Lightning Beast Running Technique being his favorite lightning technique, he skillfully creates the wolf-like being of lightning to control it into attack many foes and can manipulate it so long as he does not stop flowing chakra to his hand. He can also use the beast to run and wrap around foes to create an electrical barrier around them to imprison them before the wolf attacks. This prevents them from being able to escape as easily. Yoshitsune also can create a wave of electricity capable of destroying stone, and often uses this technique with a water technique. Yoshitsune can control the surge of electricity's size by control the chakra, allowing him from using it in a simple, taser-like form to make a large wave of lightning.

The other nature Yoshitsune uses frequently is Water Release, and as such uses techniques that create such constructs as a sphere of water that has whips coming off it to cause great damage. Yoshitsune first creates a sphere of water and then manipulate it to make it form whips. Yoshitsune can then use these whips to attack many foes, by slamming or stabbing them with the whips that can follow foes and change direction with ease. Yoshitsune developed the Water Release: Mare Nostrum Technique, his most powerful water technique due to its piercing and cutting strength by acting as a and how it causes massive torrents of water upon contact. He often enhances his water techniques with lightning chakra, giving it stronger cutting abilities and a painful, evn deadly, shock.

Thanks to his Rinnegan, Yoshitsune can also use Earth Release, Wind Release, Yin Release, Yang Release, and Yin–Yang Release. He does not usually use these transformations in combat as he is not as skilled in their use as opposed to his other natures. Yoshitsune is known to use simple to put wind-chakra into weapons, namely his chakra rods, to increase their cutting ability. Yoshitsune's use of wind also includes flowing it into his fire-based technique to increase their power. Yoshitsune does make usage of yin chakra when he uses his Genjutsu: Rinnegan ability, and is noted to proficent in its usage. With Earth Release he can use the Earth Release: Sandwich Technique to cause to slabs of earth, of various sizes depending on how large he wants it, to slam into each other, catching anthing in between with tremendous force. Yoshitsune can use wind chakra to form the Wind Release: Vacuum Sphere to exhale a large amount of wind bullets that cover a large range to make it difficult to avoid, and can further set them on fire to make powerful bullets of fire enhanced by the wind chakra in the attack.

Bunshinjutsu
Even in the academy as a child, Yoshitsune showed skill with clone techniques. Quickly discarding the, Yoshitsune learned the technique that is mostly forbidden, the Shadow Clone Technique. This technique actually forms tangible clones by dividing the users that can experience things another clone or caster may not. When the clone bursts, the chakra disperses and returns to the caster which gives him all the knowledge the clone gained. Yoshitsune further uses this to create a few hundred clones to form an army of himself and so he can hide among them if needed to get ready for a technique or rest. Another tactic Yoshitsune uses is sending a shadow clone that will detonate, as the clone appears normal allowing Yoshitsune to send him as a suicide bomb or even fool foes into engaging him in battle. Yoshitsune also enhanced many of these clones with senjutsu chakra to make them more durable, being able to stand far stronger hits than the average shadow clone.

Taijutsu
Yoshitsune is known to not use taijutsu very often as it is not his perferred style. Despite this, he is relatively skilled and strong in the use of taijutsu, due to his great strength and stamina. While still not his preferred, he has grown to use it more often after learning a bit from Ninigi Senju and Sakin. Using his great speed, he has shown a wide range of physical assaults with barrages of strong punches and powerful kicks. He also uses more unorthodox methods, such as slamming his head into foes as a powerful headbutt, despite this proving to hurt him as well. Along with sheer strength, his stamina allows him to maintain powerful stikes, punches, and hits with little to now weakening even after a long period of time. Yoshitsune seems to focus on hitting joints to disable foes, and is not above breaking a foe's bone in an area to defeat them. With his chakra rods, Yoshitsune also mimics some of the dance-like movements of the Shikotsumyaku ability.

Bukijutsu
Like many shinobi, Yoshitsune has been trained in the usage of various weapons. From a young age, he was taught the handling of many weapons, such as the very basic shuriken and kunai handling. He excelled in the marksmanship, as was able to pierce the many targets dead-on or close to it. Yoshitsune also knows how to counter many tools and reverse them against their wielder. Using one of his abilities, Yoshitsune can create makeshift weapons on the spot, and as such does not carry any weapons on him on a regular basis. He often uses this to make a sword or a.

Kenjutsu

 * (To Ninigi) "What is blood? The Uchiha and Senju are hailed as the greatest clans, but why? Surely Ninigi, you come from a strong family, but why is the attention always on your clan or the Uchiha's? We are all human, we breath the same air, eat the same food, fight for something, and live for something. And is this proof of us as human? We are also in conflict. Like all humans in the world, we are constantly pitting against one another. Perhaps it is our attempt to think that we are superior that has caused us to fight so heavily, instead of with others. Humans are a cunning creature, we all adapt to the same situations but in our own ways."
