- Shiguma

Major Character

Shiguma (シグマ Sigma) is a shinobi, who travels the world, completing missions and enjoying life. Achieved by great skill, he was made a Anbu Black Ops Member. He is known as Ghostly Hurricane for his white fire and excellemt usage of the Wind Release. He is one of the handful of shinobi in his clan to utilize the Mangekyō Sharingan. He is also the new wielder of the Executioner's Blade, obtaining it from a merchant as a sign of their gratitude for completing a mission for them. It's a fake, however just as durable. Though he is classified as a Jonin ranked shinboi, his skill however ascends higher than that. His other title among a few others, is Almighty Bombardment, which is based upon his more than adequate usage of the Fire Release. He is the apart of the group, SAISEI, and current resides in Konohagakure. He is the former minor student of Senjo and has a crush on her, though he knows she is in a relationship with Shikaniku Nara. He fell for her after during one of their few training sessions and he actually just paid attention to her beauty and skill. Her teaching helped him hone his skill with the Fire Release after she showed him how to use it much more adequately in combat. However, despite his great usage in the Fire Release, which is his affinity, his true masterpiece is utilizing his Wind Release. He has been compared to many other great wind release users many times after showcasing himself using it. While training under the Sage of Snakes, Shiguma was selected by him to symbolize all aspects of senjutsu and to keep order and peace between the sages and the rest of the world. Little did Shiguma know that one of his earlier peers is doing the complete opposite and is trying to destroy/capture the sage for himself. This will cause an astounding level of conflict and imbalance in the shinobi world. Over time, Shiguma developed complete mastery over the Fire Release and any principals of heat, and was actually able to use the Fire Release albeit with some effort, due to him not being able to use it formerly. It was then when he finally realized that Shiguma is ready to summon the Sages of Old. These Sages are monstrous beats that tower over all life. The Sage himself noticed his student's skill in the primary elements and then issued a challenge to Shiguma. That challenge was to achieve mastery over the Sages of Old over a scheduled time of 10 years.

Background
Shiguma was born as the son of nobody; the only man he knew and raised him was his uncle. He was born in Konohagakure but as a baby he was moved to Kumogakure where his uncle has trained him to start him on his journey of becoming a ninja once he learned the basics he went back to his birth town and enrolled in the Ninja Academy. He did not live in the Uchiha clan village he lived in Konoha with nobody to raise him, because it was a fairly friendly village he made some friends to run around the village with and have fun. He unlocked his sharingan with 1 tomoe at the age of 7, from there he met a select group of ninjas that he started going on missions whom he cooperated with and made it to the ranking of genin. On a specific genin mission the enemy kidnapped one of his teammates and unlocked the 2nd tomoe of his sharingan from the experience in order to get her back. When the chunin exams came around they all worked together in order to pass the exams it was a long and painful road but they got through it. During the chunin exams he unlocked his 3 tomoe on the sharingan. Once he became a chunin his uncle came and taught him of Ryuchi Cave where he trained for four years in the art of the snakes. Learning Senjutsu and building connections with the snakes and even signing a summoning contract. Somewhere in the middle of his training he saw the curse of hatred in the Uchiha name and vowed to not become corrupt like all of the others by hatred at that became his ninja way. Until that faithful day where his uncle has been murdered by an unknown ninja because his uncle was an Uchiha this made him so sad and angry at the same time he became depressed and the Mangekyō Sharingan developed in his eyes because all he thought of that moment was revenge on the shinobi who murdered his uncle. He thought about taking his uncle's eyes and transplanting them into him where he can gain even more 'Power' but that is disrespectful of his uncle and does not want to do this. He unlocked the powers of his individual Sharingan left and right respectfully but he does not have the power of both of them completely controlled he can fully manipulate the Amaterasu into Blaze Release and can use his Kamui to go intangible and is very much unskilled with it as he has fell through the floor and his bed while he was sleeping. He even found the power to invoke a Susanoo but only the ribcage for defense and arms for attacking. He still relies on the training his uncle and the snakes have put him through though. He loves using Wind Release because he has an affinity to it and just thinks it is awesome and he likes sticking to the basics.

Appearance
Ever since he was a boy Shiguma has had brown eyes, medium length brown spiky hair and have small bangs present on his forehead. Shiguma is considered handsome because he gets a lot of girls. In Part I, Shiguma wore a traditional bloody red ninja suit with a black scarf and a sword on his back. He does not wear the Uchiha crest on his back because he is ashamed of his clan and does not even live with them. He wears a black clothed forehead protector with the leaf village’s symbol on it. Shiguma has grown much taller and much more muscular over the time skip because it has been about 4 years. His hair also underwent a dramatic change to brown because of the training. He wears anbu-like clothing and he has always worn redbandages on his wrists under which he wore special armbands with seals where he can summon all kinds of weapons. He also has replaced his black scarf with a small necklace that is a string and a small-decorative kunai. Somtimes he wears gas masks in battle to protect against fumes and hazardous gases such as smoke. When he enters Sage mode his chakra appears a cloak off of his body and the natural energy from the earth is what triggers the transformation. What happens is his outfit is consumed in a chakra cloak that can be enabled or disabled at will and gains black designs such as tomoe and lines, on his outfit. His eyes become surrounded with a golden like paint and his eyes turn golden and slightly glow, and gain a darker design around his eyes to represent a perfect snake like eye. Due to his laziness though, he usually just makes use of wearing a normal loose shirt when not completing shinobi activities. He thinks of it as uneccessary to dress up when its not needed. However when people do come around, he is sure to dreaa to impress.

Personality
Confident, Loyal, Relaxed These three adjectives describe the personality of Konoha's Ghostly Hurricane. His confidence is what makes him even attempt to get out of the bed in the mornings. Shiguma so strongly believes that he can conquer and accomplish anything, that he wont let anything tell him he cant. This strong belief was weakened within himself when his uncle died, because of the fact that he thought that it was his fault in someway due to him not being able to prevent it. This way of thinking kept him from wanting to even leave his home within Konoha, to go out and complete missions. His confidence, in a way, was restored after he had this dream of jis uncle speaking to him, telling him that it infact wasnt his fault. His trust within himself had replenished after the night after thinking that his uncle wouldnt want him sitting around moping. He'd want Shiguma to go back out of his home and complete missions and protect the village that they both loved so much. So he did this, returning to his old self, though still always thinking of that empty part within life where his uncle was. This spot had moved to another place. Into his heart. Shiguma's loyalty stems from his uncle as well. His uncle had been too loyal and trustloyal and one of the people he trusted most was the one who betrayed him. This news showed Shiguma to trust others but always be cautious of their motives. Be aware for their behaviors and motive that they show. He has shown to trust one man within his group, SAISEI. His partner is Shinzui. He indeed trusts the man, but is also watchful of him. He has noted that the man is quite funny, and has showm that. But due to their setup within the group, theu must trust eachother with their lives. After his uncles death, he showed to be more closed but has since reopened himself to trust more. Shiguma's uncle also stated that Shiguma had a cool, calm, and reserved personality. Shiguma  is more of a reserved person, honestly staying to himself rather than being outgoing and       making friends by approaching them first. He attempts shows his funny side by trying to make  a few jokes to lighten the mood if it is in anyway too serious or too grim. He does this      because he likes to have a good time with he is doing. Shiguma, while appearing to a rather quiet, innocent, individual, he is truly devious. Shiguma is someone who genuinely wants to be nice and cares about people. But he hates rules and laws, valuing the freedom of himself and others. He has learned to get used to them and follow them when he must, but he isn't fond of rules and order, being disgusted with the order and strict  laws of villages and his parents. Before finding his current team, he would be the one in     other teams to create conflict within. He also is a harmless rule-breaker, but would is truly considered a good peerson at the end of the day. Although, usually not boasting, Shiguma      thinks highly of himself. He thinks that he'd make a perfect team leader for the group, but   has decided against it, due the the other two members deciding that it'd be better for them to be "all as equal". His devilish side can come to sight, sometimes when he makes use of his Kekkei Genkai. It makes him seem as if he loves to hurt his    opponent, a show of bloodlust. His inner mind is fueled with seeing death against his         opponent, and he won't stop unless he can control himself. Over the years, after almost       leaving a gallery of mummified corpses during his Chunin exams, he has learned to control it,  but the longer he uses it, the harder it gets. He still likes sparing the innocent and cooperation, as witnessed when he engages into any    fight he does not kill unless it is necessary and the person has done things to deserve it. Shiguma still engages in a fight no matter the outcome or how strong the enemy is.

The Compassionate Soldier
Shiguma once had the choice to kill or spare a entire family of shinobi. He had almost        finished it as told. It was a simple mission. ''Locate the target. Eliminate the target. Eliminate his family to keep them from telling the story.'' Shiguma was find with it, he had  located the enemy and disposed of him. He had killed mother, and older adult brothers. He made to the last family member, the youngest, sister. She was small and seemed to be around four  or five years of age. Shiguma couldnt bring himself to kill the little girl. She begged him. He could not kill her. He simply knocked her unconscious and set the house on fire, not       looking back to see if she had burning up with the other bodies of the family. He still had   dreams of the little girl's face in hisndreams over the next few nights.

The Vengeful Python
Shiguma had tried many times to confront the killer of his uncle. The man was one of the      richest in the village. He had a small army covering his large home. Shiguma once tried to    kill the man but was nearly killed. After recovering, he recieved a note from. The letter instructed Shiguma to meet him in a secret location, in order to help   Shiguma defear this man. Kabuto modified Shiuma with the different DNA of people. The Jugo    clan's DNA is what effected him the most. The Clan's absorbtion of Senjutsu is what caused    their rage. This new DNA fused withh Shiguma's. Now when he activates the ability to take in  Senjutsu, he gains much rage against his opponent. This however does not affect his style of  battle, he doesnt fight wildly but however become very angry. Even afterwards, he still       retains some anger. This anger does not seperate friend from foe, and seems to be exactly like the Curse of Hatred version of Senjutsu Absorbtion.

Chakra Prowess and Control
Shiuma has always had strong chakra, as shown when he was young when he was already able to manipulate his Chakra enough and use Spiralling Ring, which usually requires stronger chakra than a mere young shinobi. After the time skip his chakra reserves grew greater after developing his Mangekyō Sharingan. He is still able to fight effectively even when he uses his dojutsu and techniques for a long period of time meaning it is not the quantity of how much he has it is the quality of his chakra and how efficiently he uses it. Shiguma has excellent control over his chakra, and has a chakra reserve rivaling most of other shinobi. He has gained such control over it, that he has learned to be able to combine his chakra with his taijutsu to increase the sheer force and power of it. This such great control was brought on by meditation and training. He uses the chakra in a unique manner. He attacks normally, yet right before hitting the opponent, he would amplify it in a short burst to the desired location of his body. Of course, his lineage comes into play with this as well. The Uchiha are known for their vast amount of chakra reserves and ability to use it effectively, especially the pure blooded clan members. Since he is one of the few to be pure blooded, he is granted this dominance over those who are hybrids of other clans. His skill in chakra control have ascended him to the shinobi he is today. This has been proven as not many can control their gift as beautifully and skillfully as he can. Even though Shiguma mostly uses his Sharingan in battle, he does use other means, such as training.

Taijutsu
He likes to get up close and personal with his enemies which are right in front of Genjutsu, which is never used or when he wants to attempt to quickly end a fight, he believes it is lazy ninja strategy fighting with your eyes and not your body aswell. Shiguma's Taijutsu was at a very high level since he became genin. His skills improved after gaining 3 tomoes on his sharingan. With this, he is able to copy Taijutsu moves used by anyone no matter of the speed executed or how it was executed. He shows a high level of speed and reflexes as he was the fastest in his genin ninja class. He has always valued speed over strength. He is known as someone who prefers to attack before an opponent has a chance to weave jutsu. Shiguma uses his speed to create a blitz style of battle. Rapid strikes, followed by his steps and afterimages. His speed can create intangible clones of himself without aide of chakra. However, these clones usually freeze in his last movement of their creation as they are created through burst. Shiguma's speed is combined with extreme levels of acrobats. Shiguma is a highly resilient man. He is known to be able to take from small to medium amounts of damage without feeling a thing. He has very good skill as he has been using it for a long time.

Spiralling Ring
He spirals chakra in his hand and makes a Spiralling Ring, not really too complicated for him because this is what his hard training was based off of. When he was training with the snakes they taught him that regular chakra with no nature type in it is made with Yin and Yang and by training him in it he is able to do a 8:2 ratio of the yin and yang chakra. His Spiralling Ring takes the appearance of a white sun, the color showing the highest level of a star. Around the white orb are black planetary rings.

Bukijutsu
Ever since he was young he displays amazing skills with various ninja tools, such as wire strings, shuriken, kunai, and paper bombs. After the time skip the tools he used diversified into using his chakra with his weapons and along with his cunning intelligence is a deadly combination. He has shown the ability to control the weapons he imbues his chakra in with his mind. He can maneuver them to run after opponents or even come together in a large barrage.

Kenjutsu
When he was training in Land of Iron, Shiguma was trained in Kenjutsu and became a very skilled swordsman. Before the Land of Iron, he acquired a sword when he was young that he kept on his back. When he became older he had to forge a new sword because he can no longer use a "child’s" sword. He came out of the Land of Iron with a brand new sword that he can run his chakra through. His skills are dangerous because he is known for his speed and precision in all of his attacks, putting a sword in his hands just make him even more deadly.

Shurikenjutsu
As seen above he is very good with weapons especially his kunai, shuriken, and wires. He controls the shuriken with wire strings. With his sharingan he can manipulate multiple of them at a time, Because he uses shuriken and kunai the most he wears a pair of bracelets with a special seal that allows him to instantly summon these when he needs them without worrying about running out of supply,Summoning: Lightning Flash Blade Creation. He can manipulate his lightning infused chakra on the weapons to increase the cutting power.

Summoning Techniques
During his time off training, Shiguma learned many of the sage's snake-oriented techniques. He became able to summon various-sized snakes to aid him in battle. Shiguma was first taught how to use the Summoning Technique by his Uncle. After allowing Shiguma to sign the summoning contract with the snakes, the snakes took Shiguma through the execution of the technique in order to provide Shiguma with allies in future battles. The types of snakes that Shiguma can summon at any time are proportional to his chakra and skill, as when he first started out he could only summon small snakes. At first, Shiguma had a hard time getting any specific Snake, as he summoned either when he was truly motivated, Shiguma was able to summon the sage himself, as well as. After being noticed for his skill in the Medical art of ninjutsu, he was granted the ability to sign a summoning contract with, the former summon of. The two animals had a bad and rocky relationship when they first were acquainted, however after working side by side for years and persuasion from Shiguma to get alone, they finally kicked their trouble to the side, and now work together flawlessly when they are summoned together.

Nature Transformation
Shiguma has was not able to use Fire Release nature manipulation as a child and has been ashamed of it ever since but instead he relies on the use of his Wind Release, of course after learning that he can use it. His signature move is the Spiralling Ring, made more effective when combined with his Sharingan and can make multiple forms of it such as a cable, run it through his sword, etc. He used to be limited to using it twice a day but now he can use it infinitely without it even affecting him. Although he can generate his own electricity he can manipulate the lightning real thunderclouds make and use it to create his attacks. When Shiguma gained the Mangekyō Sharingan, he manifested Amaterasu in his left eye. He is able to use an advanced Fire Release known as the Blaze Release; an element that draws its power from Amaterasu. Aside from unleashing a wave of unquenchable black flames that incinerates everything that reflects in his eyesight, Shiguma can control the movement of the flames, which proves to be easy.

Wind Release
Wind release is one of Shiguma's deadliest techniques. After learning Scorch Release, Shiguma began to depend more on the element's molecules and how they work. He wanted to use his wind release to increase the intensity of his flames. He began understanding and studying molecules and how they work. He learned that one of the most important aspects in increasing fire intensity is oxygen. He learned how to gather oxygen molecules with great quantities and surround his fire techniques with it. This gave his fire techniques the ghostly white color it has because of the great increase in the intensity. He began training on this style until he mastered it and he could cover his flame jutsu with oxygen which increased their intensity greatly. He also learned how to increase or decrease the air pressure which served him well against lightning users.

Shiguma counters lightning with wind by using the following method. He increases the air pressure at any area in the surroundings. He uses wind as an insulator by increasing the pressure of the air to the point where it weakens the lightning and make it harmless. Shiguma mastered this technique and he began using it against lightning users which gave him some sort of immunity to lightning. He came across strong lightning users but he could increase the air pressure to the point of making even real lightning completely harmless. He can also control the air currents which he uses in enhancing his techniques or for defensive reasons.

Utilizing air currents helped him greatly in increasing the efficiency of his fire technique and it got him to reach his famous ghost flames (which are really Scorch Release). He uses wind for offensive reasons too. By increasing the cutting power of the wind by imagining his chakra grinding with each other with a blade in between. He can increase the cutting power of his weapons to the point where they can clean cut giant rocks thanks to their sharpness. There is no doubt that wind forms a great part of Shiguma's combat and it can also increase the efficiency of his fire. He uses wind for defensive reasons against lightning users and in general. Shiguma has the ability to control the quantity of oxygen in the air which comes in handy in lots of scenarios.

Enhanced Senses
His means of sensing rely greatly off of his Wind Release. He has shown the ability to read the airwaves within the surrounding enviroment to feel a disturbance. This would allow him to feel if anyone or anything is within the area around him. This would be greatly effective, so instead of using the standard chakra sensing technique which the opponent could use the Chakra Suppression Technique to counter, he uses this as means if sensing them as they cannot remove their body unless they are intangible. He has this as a passive ability, to help him be aware of sneak attacks.

Another usage of his Wind Release in a supplementary way is for hearing. By amplying air molecule vibrations, this gives him a larger range of hearing. This can be great for spying missions when Shiguma needs to gain information.

Sound Manipulation
Shiguma is able to create and control sound waves by manipulating the air. With this power, he is able to create, distort or even remove sound within a large area around them. He also able to send sonic bursts which can disorient or even cause pain to others; however, over use of these sonic bursts will cause the same effects on him, and cause some pain to his ears. These can be using to physically push away opponents. These bursts have enough sheer force to break a person's bones. Due to it being sound and moving at the speed of sound, these attack are also very fast in terms of speed, and could reach an opponent before they could even blink.

Fire Release
Fire Release is the Elemental Nature that Shiguma learned that he could use very proficiently years ago. He His knowledge and skill within this category of ninjutsu is incomprehensible. When using this nature, it takes little to medium amounts of chakra, depending on how much he uses it. Unlike most, he can passively fire his Fire Release, which also has the color of white, which has been called Ghostly White. This has led to him sometimes being called Shiguma of the Holy Ghost by those few that know him. As most may vouch for, using and making such great usage of the Fire Release is not an easy task. It is in fact very difficult. This task takes skill and great chakra control.

To master it, Shiguma would take many years to simply, observe the usage of this nature. He would succeed in being able to burn his opponent leaving them with a burned body. But no, Shiguma wanted to completely obliterate his opponent with no trace of their existence. So would try his luck with adding his flame chakra at a higher ratio. This would succeed in burning his opponents physically. He constant tried but his results weren't to his liking. Then he knew what he had to do. Later he combined the two forces of chakra and fire to get his results. The fire would burn through every thing. He would stabilize it by knowing that Fire burn anything in it's path and the chakra would help with that by enhancing. He would constantly try to balance them out. It would make his fire uncontrolled, so he couldn't really control his heat and the power wasn't really high either. So he balanced it out in which resulted in what it is today. Instead of it just burning an opponents body, it had the ability to burn them to leave nothing of them. It has also shown to be very adequate against objects like rocks, and has no weakness against water like its standard form. It can go head to head against water, greatly evaporating it. His heat is so intense infact, instead of being white at all times, he can also make them invisible, referring to UV rays..

Pyrokinesis
Over many years of trying to master and perfect the Scorch Release, Shiguma has gained the ability to manipulate and move it with his mind.

Call of Scorching Retribution
Shiguma's Presence is formed from the combination of his Will to survive and his Killing Intent. His Presence manifests as a large figure figure, which he calls a titan, that stands around 9'4ft tal. His time as being a test subject, and having to fight over and over just to survive is what drove him. This being his will and so immense in want. His hatred against the people who ruined his life and turned him into a test dummy drove him to bloodlust.

Around the user, his presence, and the target it begins to smell of death. Corpses appears around them, weapons too. Spears through heads, kunai's in throats, and even severed limbs litter the field. Steam erupts from the giant figure's body, which can give the target the effect of having the trouble of breathing. This can lead to the target becoming unconscious due to lack of oxygen to the brain. The titan can spawn any weapon Shiguma chooses and can go on and attack the target. The fear that is induced from this makes the target lose any will to fight and takes their ability to. If a target doesn't have the Presence ability and one that surely rival's Shiguma's, it will still place fear in them which would lower the amount of chakra they can mold for the duration of the battle/while also remove their will to fight. The fear would also make the target begin to shake and sweat from fear, like someone would normally do in reality.

The main strength of this ability is that it can cause psychological damage when used on a target and even rendering them incapable of fighting and make them collapse as a sign that they fear Shiguma. The user of this Presence has the ability to create an illusion of spirit: it deceives the mind of his target into believing that the body is truly being burned alive, and thus the tormenting pain is experienced throughout the whole body. A person on whom he uses his gift immediately feels excruciating pain of fire, collapses to the ground, and writhes in pain. Though merely an illusion, it has enough strength to incapacitate any individual and turn them into a helpless target, which is why this power of his presence frightens many. The user would be able to control the level of pain he delivers to his victims, the lowest focus could make them hot; the highest amount of focus could make them fall to the ground. It would effect start very fast. Their has been no way so far to stop this ability after it's activation, unless the user stops.

Genjutsu
Shiguma is talented at inducing genjutsu. He is also talented in the area is releasing it. His Sharingan also allows him to induce powerful genjutsu just with eyesight. His Genjutsu: Mangekyō Sharingan also induces genjutsu upon an opponent upon their eyes meeting his. This genjutsu is very advanced and almost impossible for one to break out of it, unless they have great chakra control. Shiguma has trained in the art of genjutsu for many years. He can put his opponents under multiple different kinds. He is also very good at undoing genjutsu, his training with it, has helped him to combat it. This has basically made Shiguma immune to Genjutsu, except for Kotoamatsukami and others, equal or higher than it's caliber. Genjutsu will do nothing to him, as his mind and chakra immediately counteract and basically negate the genjutsu. After having being tested upon, he was also given a defense against this.

Senjutsu
With the strength of his chakra being so high, Shiguma's training was able to expand to include Senjutsu arts. He learned this in Ryuchi Cave , showing an even higher aptitude for it than others and ultimately learning how to perfectly enter Sage Mode. In order to achieve this, Shiguma had to learn to sense and then gather the natural energy around him and perfectly balance it with his own chakra. Once mastered, Shiguma has been able to exhibit greatly enhanced speed, as well as utilize snake-like techniques. While in Sage Mode, Shiguma gains a sensory ability to detect and identify other people's chakra even from very long distances away. His sensing abilities have also enabled him to predict the movements of his enemies for easy retaliation. However, Shiguma had 2 flaws in his Senjutsu training: To mold natural energy, the user must remain absolutely still, something one cannot do while in combat. But as a workaround he summons a snake sage that molds that natural energy for him and then transfers it to him. When this method is made unavailable he can create two Shadow clone that gather Senjutsu chakra, allowing him to enter Snake Mode a total of three times. The second flaw was because he is an uchiha he has been gifted with his kekkei genkai: Sharingan. It cannot be activated when in the Sage mode because of all the chakra the sharingan consumes along with Senjutsu. To this day they are still very much incompatible with one another. After being used by Kabuto, he was injected with Jūgo's Clan DNA, so he can passively take in Senjutsu. To keep from the fits of rage caused by it, he has learned a way to activate and deactivate absorbing it within his chakra system.

Sages of Old
Shiguma’s summons are by far the some of the most powerful and memorable beasts in the shinobi world. There aren't many shinobi near and far within the shinobi world to tell about going head to head against theses creatures. These beasts were the first in fact, to hone and wield the ability known as Sage Mode. Nearly each Sage is comparable to the strength of a Tailed Beast. There are Sage within Shiguma’s arsenal that surpass the strength of a tailed beast and possibly the strength of a stabilized Perfect Susanoo. Not only are his sages powerful, their size is gargantuan even comparable to the size of the Juubi or Gedo Mazo in sheer magnitude. These sgaes are some of the oldest creatures in the shinobi world and date back to over two two millennia ago. Their ability to combine with Shiguma makes them extremely difficult to defeat in battle. Because of their size, most opponents have no choice but to flee from a battle involving any of Shiguma's sages. With Shiguma's recent dominion over the primeval titan, Cronus, he has attained a level of elemental mastery unlike those any human eyes have ever witnessed. While fused with the primeval Sage, Shiguma is able to become one with the earth itself. The earth as we know it, becomes a physical and spiritual extension of his abilities. In this form, Shiguma is able to completely manipulate the earth on a profound scale such as, changing the landscapes, earthquakes capable of destroying very large areas within the time of creating many handseals. This state is similar to the Six Paths transformation. In this state, Shiguma is capable of tanking even the most powerful elemental techniques regardless of their make-up, whether spiritual, physical, tailed-beast or natural energy. Powerful techniques such as Scorch Release, Ice Release, Dust Release, are futile to the primeval element transformation. Individually, the sages themselves are immensely powerful but together, they rival the powers of the ten tails.

The Sages of Old are an ancient form of Great Sages. The technique thrives upon Shiguma's ability to Summon these beasts to the battle, bringing forth large sages to fight on his behalf. The sages that the Shiguma summons are all capable of advanced elemental nature manipulation once their efforts are combined.

Shiguma has shown the ability to assimilate himself with one of his sages, thus not only combining their strength but to use it as a ultimate combination of strength and precision, in this form he shall condense his strength to that of a natural embodiment, in which the increase in power closely resembles that of the user of the Tailed Beast Mode technique

However, this drawback can be negated once Shiguma assimilates himself with one of his sages, thus not only combining their strength but to use it as a ultimate combination of strength and precision, in this form he shall condense his strength to that of a natural embodiment, in which the increase in power closely resembles that of the user of the Tailed Beast Mode technique.

Overview
Shiguma's sages are arguably the largest summons to date, with nearly all the sages matching the Juubi in height though not in prowess but can match or in some cases out match a tailed beast in strength. Because of their immense size, sages are highly resilient to nearly all physical attacks. These Sages may be slow and heavy, but their massive strength is capable of destroying hordes of shinobi within seconds by a simple wave of their hand(s). They are evidently not very physically beautiful in any way, but vanity and other worldly qualms no longer concern them as they are pure engines of destruction. On top of that, their primary goal as of now is to protect their summoner, Shiguma.

Each legendary sage wields the the zenith, the absolute mastery of their respective elements whether its earth, wind, fire, water or lightning. The main powers or rather innate abilities that all Sages possess are super strength and regenerative abilities. The sages are also able to combine their immense chakra reserves with Shiguma combining into a form that could be either larger than a tailed beast or the size of a average human.

This results in a form similar to the tailed beast mode, though on a far immense scale or elemental aptitude but shares a similar increase in natural skills. Each of the sages still have some sentience, as they were once human and they still retain all of their memories and are aware of worldly events. Each sage is able to give guidance on the usage of their element and have extensive knowledge of the unique ratios required to initiate the technique perfectly.

Sage of the Earth
Also known as the legendary Perses, is the sage that boasts his abilities with his complete mastery over the unyielding Earth Element. Perses is capable of tectonic level earth ninjutsu and a complete mastery over the earth dominion and as the Sage of the earth, Perses has great control over plants as well. In an age long forgotten, Perses was praised and worshipped by numerous people due to his unique mastery in this element akin to his summoner, Shiguma. He was known for his durability and strong physical energy. He was also noted to have invulnerable skin which was resistant to the even the sharpest blades of the time.

Sage of the Flame
Also known as the legendary Hephaestus, is the legendary sage of the well favored by many, the fire element. With his completely mastery over his respective element, Hephaestus, is even rumored to manipulate flames up until a temperature ten times hotter than the surface of the sun, any hotter would roast the surface of the earth even as something as small as a marble. Hephaestus is able to absorb all earthly flames and those of the spiritual nature, as he is the primordial source for the elemental fire chakra. As associated with the color red, he was the priest who had what some would say, a "chemical imbalance". His straight forward method of accomplishing daily tasks and logical or rather completely left-brained way of thinking, cemented his spot as the legendary sage of the fire element.

Sage of Wind
Also known as Aeolus, a legendary sage with a mastery of the formless wind element unlike any seen before. With his complete mastery over the wind element, Aeolus is capable of manipulating wind to hurricane level gales capable of uprooting trees and ripping houses from their foundations. Aeolus is also capable of creating pressurized air space. This is because he is the primordial for the elemental wind chakra and those who have wind as their affinity are able to have their primary affinity absorbed. To initiate this form, Shiguma will create the bird hand seal; from there a large force of wind shall slowly descend from the sky and will conform to his body, and compress itself to a form of howling winds that can also be heard as high pitch squeal as if the wind was being forced through a small port under extreme amounts of pressure, this wind is capable of slicing through bone unlike any produced kage level shinobi.

Sharingan
Because he is from the uchiha clan he has the kekkei genkai, the Sharingan. He can use this to analyze and predict movements of his opponents and also recreate those exact movements and use that Justu. He is also able to observe the flow of chakra around him and where the buildup of chakra is. Shiguma has dramatically increased his time periods to which he can maintain his Sharingan with little effect to his chakra levels, even in prolonged fights against several high-level opponents.

Mangekyō Sharingan
Shiguma awakened his Mangekyō Sharingan after the trauma over the death of his best friend, his Uncle. Of course with this great power comes great suffering so the longer he relies on this ocular prowess places a great burden on his body, eyes and soul, deteriorating his vision, his cells and sanity after every use. But it does not affect him as much because he is not consumed by the hatred of his clan. He most likely is the only person in his clan to continue seeing the light when using this specific dojutsu. He first learned to manipulate the flames of Amaterasu by using his left eye and using Blaze Release. And in his right eye he is able to manifest the ultimate defense, Susanoo. He can materialize a ribcage for defending purposes or even the whole upper portion of the humanoid. If fully overwhelmed by his emotions he can form the full body and float around in the chest of his creation. Only seen for a second it is seen that his Construct is ghostly white and ninja like very light on its feet, nimble and quick but it is also very durable. His Amaterasu is much different than most. Most who have it have the standard black flames. However his is different. His flames take on the color of being bright white, like sunlight bouncing of the sun, which is very bright. The abilites are different really. The base effects of Amaterasu have been changed from the burning of fire, to a much different, melting/ scorching effect of scorch release. This would mean that when the flames come in contact with the skin it would very quickly began to melt the tissue. It would also melt normal bones, this would basically leave nothing left of the target. However, it still has that drawback of the flames taking a long duration of time to actually burn the opponent. In his other eye, he gained a different ability aswell as being able to manipulate it. This ability allows him to accelerate the burning speed of his flames. He could potentially finish a opponent as soon as they're hit with it by increasing it to a point where they would be melted in seconds, but that'd put a large strain on his eyes.

Shiguma achieved this form of the Sharingan, after his fight with Iro Uchiha, his long lost brother. After months of gaining intel on his family member, Iro had finally found him. Shiguma, although being the lazy person he is, thought it was a great day to train and further hone his skills as shinobi. Shiguma, wanting to further focus on his aim with the black flames. Iro was amazed, he unintentionally licked his lips, by the urge for the eyes. "The other power of the Mangekyo." He said to himself in astonishment. He then took another look at the man. He quickly opened his journal, and flipped to a page. He read out loud to himself, but quiet so Shiguma couldn't hear. "White hair..Tanned skin..Cut on right cheek.. Yep It's..Shiguma from the description." He said in awe, but barely able to see due to the deterioration of his eyes form his usage. "This is my chance." Still able to see shapes, He used Lava Release: Lava Stream Technique and fires a stream of lava at Shiguma, but not before Shiguma's wind sensing feels a interruption within the airwaves, and dodges quicky, and the lava hits a tree melting it. The battle occurs and quickly ends, with Shiguma using the Flying Thunder God Slash, and impaling Iro through the chest. Iro was unable to keep up, because he didn't use his Mangekyō Sharingan, since his light was almost gone, and he could barely see.

After the battle, Shiguma wants to know who the attacker was, and begins to go through the man's pouch. He finds a scroll and a journal. Not finding anything to identify the man by, he began to go through the journal. He randomly flips through the pages, and came upon things written down about Iro's deceased girlfriend. He flipped some more through the journal. He came upon a page that read : "My light is fading. I can barely see at all. I remember when I was younger, I found my mother's diary and it had secrets in it. My lost brother, and the powers of the sharingan. If I find my brother I can replenish my sight, and never have to worry about becoming blind. I need to find Shgiuma, my lost brother, its's the only way to stop the pain." Shgiuma dropped the journal and looked at Iro's dead body with widened eyes. "Could it be?" He said to himself. Thanks to his knowledge in transplanting from Medical ninjutsu, he was able to create a clone to transplant his brothers eyes into his own. But he did not do that, before creating a small room for him to rest in for a weeks, to get accustomed to the new power. He wondered how he would know when it was done. But when he removed the bandages, he found that his sight had became more clearer and he could see way better. He began to constantly use the EMS, to test it out, while doing this, he vision stayed it's same normal self.

Intelligence
He has shown that he has a strong mind and is able to think on his feet. He is very quick to decide on what to do next and he has the moves to pull off one of his crazy maneuvers. He is considered very cunning and crafty and most likely relies on tricking his opponents and sneaking upon them as the snakes have taught him to. His intelligence was shown in the academy, as he was in the highest class secretly. He acted unsmart in the oral things, but on paper, he was great, making straight A's.

Medical Ninjutsu
Shiguma is a true master of the Mystical Palm Technique. His skill is renown in Konoha, for being a great medic and moving around the battlefield at a quick speed, healing the ninjas that were located on it. His skill is so great indddd, that he has a summoning Contract with.

Hanten
Hanten (反転) literally meaning Inversion, is very unique sword. This sword takes a regular appearance of a katana, which has a seal that responds to his chakra. If it's someone's else's they can only use the sword as a normal katana. When Shiguma uses it, allows him a special ability. The ability allows him to put the target whom he has cut and wounded in anyway under a genjutsu. The genjutsu is very strong and hard to break free of. It makes the target's mind inverted;Friends, become enemies. Enemies become friends. Shiguma and a few others have seen for themselves that the blade can cut through anything. When the special genjutsu ability is in affect, the sword get's a green fire looking aura on it's blade, (like in the picture.)

History
The sword's first user and creator was a master of Potion/poison making and was a user of the Shikotsumyaku and thus incorporated his skill into his sword. This valuable tool was created back in the warring states period, back in the times of pure war. There was this clan, the Kinzoku Clan, masters of the metal. They had lived in the sand desert. They had no ninjutsu skills really, but held powerful skill in blacksmithing. There was a man, named Izame. He wasn't the best at metal working. He was probably the worst the clan had. He however was skilled in poison/potion making, and using his Kekkei Genkai. The man was powerful, but some had looked upon his gift as worthless. Then there was a fierce battle between the Kinzoku Clan and their rivals. After a fierce battle, his whole clan was massacred and he was the last, he had ran and took shelter in an empty tomb. He had been injured greatly. The tomb had been worked on, but nothing had been able to be placed inside due the clan's activeness. He took refuge there and hid, beside him he placed his bone sword upon a rock that was flat on top. He stayed their and died from his injuries and his sword stayed their with his body until it turned to skeleton.



Chakra Cigarettes
Chakra Cigs are specially made cigarettes that allow the user to flow their chakra into the cigarettes, by doing the cigarette will light. These can also be used as an offensive or defensive weapon. By throwing the cigarette at an enemy they can explode on contact or be detonated on command. The cigarette's explosive power on it's own equals up to 10 regular explosive tags. The explosive power can be increased through explosive release chakra or fire release chakra. For defensive purposes the user can blow into the cigarette and create a smokescreen that hides the user's scent or it can increase the power of the Hiding in Ash and Dust technique. They come in different flavors and aren't to expensive. They use high quality tobacco or weed(Safer Choice). If the user chooses weed they will have a top quality high that increases their perception. However, their only sold in Kusa and Sunagakure. Shiguma uses the weed variation.
