2. Who is the user of this technique?

Kisui Iyoku

3. How will they learn this technique?

Being a transmigrant of Hagoromo, Kisui relies on the memories of the Sage to learn about the Paths he is yet to learn. Two of them struck Kisui as interesting in one of the memories he experienced during meditation; The Animal Path, and the Asura Path. The Animal Path allows one to summon animals to their aid, be it for defense, offense, or even reconnaissance. The Asura path allows mechanical manipulation of the body, adding extra limbs or modifying existing limbs in a mechanical nature. But it wasn't enough that he discovered them in a memory, he'd need to learn how to use them. He first experienced with the Animal Path. By focusing energy from his Rinnegan, he began pulling energy from the Animal Path. The first attempt was rather unsuccessful and resulted in a rather poor summoning. But over time, he began improving, starting with small animals like rabbits and cats for practice. Over a period of weeks, his summonings became more and more pronounced, capable of summoning predatory animals. It was here that he got the idea to keep that particular pattern of predatory type summonings. From there, he began training how to summon these predatory animals, working his way up until he finally was able to summon them fluently. The last step, which is a most important step for Kisui, was chakra reduction. Constant weeks, upwards of nearly two months of training paid off, and he was able to cut the chakra consumption of his summonings by half.

From there, he began training in the Asura Path. Once again using his Rinnegan, he began pulling energy from the Asura Path. The first experience was not only poor, but rather painful, a poorly constructed arm protruding from his back. Though it left no marks when it dispersed, it left a painful aftereffect. Kisui figured he'd have to get used to this pain. Once again, days turned to weeks, learning first on how to summon the extra limbs. The limbs became more and more pronounced, showing more lifelike designs with each training session. After nearly a month of training, he perfected the extra limb growth. Now it was up to the limb manipulation. He started with something simple, like adding mechanical features to his left arm. Once again, this first attempt was poorly done and very painful, leaving no visible effects but left a painful aftereffect. More weeks were poured into training this limb manipulation, working his way up until he could finally create weapon pods from his limbs, a common trait of the Asura Path. He felt his training in the Path was finished.

Then came the most important step to him; Combining the two to use them to their fullest. By summoning a wolf, he began using his Asura Path energy to transform it into a mechanical beast, changing its bodily structure dramatically. It resembled a cybernetic wolf. Kisui felt he could take this even further. He began experimenting in mechanical size manipulation, attempting to make the summons even bigger. Out of all the training he did in both Paths, this took the longest, taking him half a year to perfect. But he finally accomplished a complete, supersized summon, one that nearly took out a whole forest before he was able to de-summon the creature. His training was complete, and Kisui now had two new Paths under his belt.

4. How will they make it unique?

Kisui will rely on the utilization of predatory animals with his Animal Path, using his ground summons to cut off paths his opponents can take, forcing them to run right into a trap. By utilizing his birds of prey, he can use them to deliver air attacks. When not in combat, Kisui can use his birds of prey for reconnaissance, using their superior vision to scout out areas. His Asura Path will be utilized largely for defense, using the extra limbs for rear protection and using mechanical reinforcement to protect his body from harm. He can also transform his arms into drills, allowing him to burrow underground and deliver a surprise attack from below. Outside of combat, Kisui utilizes the Asura path to help in creating shelters, using the enhanced strength from his mechanical limbs to break large rocks to use for extra protective shelters. His Animal Path can also be used, using his predatory summons such as wolves to hunt for prey that he can cook for food. By combining the usage of his Animal and Asura Paths, Kisui can mechanically modify his summons, turning them into powerful, mechanical creatures at the cost of a large amount of chakra.
