1) Name the technique(s) you are applying for and what character(s) are they for.

I will be applying for Orochimaru's Juinjutsu (Earth seal on Tsubaki in a sense) on Asura Uzumaki/Rebirth.

2) How will said character learn said technique(s)? This is where things get interesting. The point of this question is do invoke a unique answer, an engaging one. How does your character learn the mechanics behind the technique they are learning. Make it interesting and original (not bland, and exactly the opposite). This and the last question are crucial in the overall judgement. Even the learning from the scroll method works, if you make it very original. Here, describe the actual training methods your character used to learn the technique, and more.

Asura born in Uzushiogakure found himself in a liking of the human physiology. Wanting to make a super human containing various unpredictable abilities. After the death of his parents Asura left the island, alongside his daughter Tsubaki arriving on the borders of the land of fire. Living around the lands for about four years, he continuously heard of a man known as Orochimaru who in a sense had the same interest that Asura did. Asura at this point set his mind out to seek Orochimaru, however, Orochimaru was well aware of this and also sought out Asura. Sometime Asura found himself encountered by the Sound Four on the request that he return to Orochimaru's Land of Sound base. After the two conversed Asura offered to Orochimaru that the two could join forces. Orochimaru however had alternative motives, and asked Asura what did he have to offer. Asura told him he didn't have much, but Orochimaru didn't buy it and instead declared he'd take Tsubaki in return for their partnership. Asura pushed Tsubaki back, and instead offered up his very own body for experimentation. Orochimaru psyched about a partner he could experiment on, with a life force as great as an Uzumaki's he just couldn't turn it down. Asura however was not always told all of Orochimaru's motives as he was still second to Kabuto.

Orochimaru however became concerned at the fact that Asura hadn't asked for anything. Especially for someone with nearly the same motives as himself, it was extremely suspicious. Concerned, he approached Asura, asking him why hadn't he asked anything. Asura however told him, that he had indeed been studying the brand of cursed seals that were imbedded into the Sound Four. Orochimaru the least bit half of surprised, chuckled at Asura. Guiding Asura into one of his rooms, he pointed at two specific test subjects. One which we all know as Jūgo & the other a member of the clan as well, but seemingly a bit younger. Orochimaru explained that his seals were branched from their clan's kg ability. He stated that he'd been using Jūgo because he was much older & body was much more mature while the other's body was still premature undergoing development. Orochimaru went further to explain the exact mechanisms of his Juinjutsu and how it came to be, but why? Orochimaru attempted to lure Asura into one question. Where Asura then stated "Actions speak louder than words." Orochimaru needed a strong body.. And at that moment, Asura willingly offered up Tsubaki, were this time because Orochimaru had two Cursed Seal of Heaven users, implanted the Cursed Seal of Earth onto Tsubaki. Reexplaining it again. Teaching someone else his technique, he knew he needed to keep Asura close by, however during the attack on Konoha, Asura fled the hideout with both Tsubaki & the young boy of Jūgo's clan.

3) How will the character make unique usage of this technique(s)? Similar to 2, describe how the character would use the technique uniquely and what purpose does the technique have in their story. If they cannot use it uniquely, then you may want to rethink publishing the application. The point of this question is not to be a rehash of how it is used in canon, as the point of applying is to take techniques and expand/use them in original, interesting ways. If a technique doesn’t have a unique usage that can be thought of, then don’t apply.

Well, while I did apply for Asura to get Orochimaru's Juinjutsu, it was to avoid confusion with his very own, but since then I thought why not give Orochimaru's as well, since they were once partnered. Asura unlike Orochimaru will not just go about giving the cursed seals to others as a shortcut to power. Instead as a reward to those who are just a bit short of capabilities. The Juinjutsu will be used in conjunction with his fūinjutsu abilities further enhancing them. As well as become a base for his very own Juinjutsu.
