Yoshitsune

Yoshitsune (義経, Yoshitsune) is a strange hybrid of a human and an alien, with the great powers of and 's chakra melded together into the  chakra of  which was bonded to his young body by. Despite his bloodlines, Yoshitsune is not formally part of any clan. He was later taken to Konohagakure by after taking him from the snake sannin, and was left in  for protection 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 darkness that lived in the village. Later in life, Yoshitsune has been labeled as an S-rank ninja, and would become a powerful as well.

He later helped formed the Land of Origin and Gingagakure with the help of 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 position and have Ninigi take the position. 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). After mastering the Six Paths and reading the history of the tablet hidden in the, Yoshitsune would seek to fulfill Hagoromo's dream in his own way, and would set out to try and help bring not just peace to the world, but give it justice.

Background
The humans were not alone in this universe. The mother of chakra,, and supposedly two men, and , proved this with their alien origin. However, Momoshiki and Kinshiki were not truly alone. A third alien had been among them, an so lowly that he was never given a name by his master Momoshiki and lacked the Byakugan. This man served as a slave to Momoshiki, and even the mighty Kinshiki had the authority to give him orders. The man, who called himself Ushishiki (うしシキ) simply for convenience, hated his long life, being bounded to an unjust leader. After the, however, Ushishiki has the chance to escape. Sent to survey the Earth and discover the whereabouts of the known as, the Nine-Tails. Hunting for the location of the beast, Ushishiki would note the beauty of the Earth compared to his homeworld, and begin to longer strongly for freedom. Ushishiki seized his chance and fled his mission, going through many villages to find a sanctuary. Ushishiki eventually found a town somewhere in the spacious land of the Land of Fire. Finding a woman he fell in love with, Ushishiki removed the horns he had and married the woman. She would become pregnant by Ushishiki, and life seemed to be looking up for the escaped servant. Despite this, Momoshiki, angered by the betrayal, sought out Ushishiki and eventually located the runaway. Momoshiki would begin destroying much of the village, but Ushishiki use the powers he wielded to ensure the safe escape of his wife. Ushishiki stood against his former master bravely, but was quickly cut down by the superior being and was consumed for the power he had.

Ushishiki's wife, though her name is lost, wandered after the escape of the village. Her heart was broken, as she lost her husband, family, friends, and home all in one swift attack. Her only saving grace was the child she had in her stomach, but it would prove to be her undoing as well. The of the snake,, had been surveying the woman for many years, even prior to her marriage to an alien. This is due to her being the descendant of the famed clan, who partially scattered in fear of the  back when  was formed. With the alien, however, Orochimaru became more interested in the life she carried in her womb.

, the mad scientist and member of 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 Six Paths, and one of the even fewer to understand the message that it held. 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 began to prepare for the woman and her part-alien child.

As the woman began to go into labor, Orochimaru posed as a doctor to her who wanted to help her. With help from, a baby boy was delivered. While to woman possessed a strong life force from her Senju lineage, she ultimately would die from complications while giving birth. Orochimaru, ignoring this, focused on the child and advancement of his previous experiments. Orochimaru had attempted in an earlier experiment to bind the blood of Naruto and Sasuke together in an advanced cloning process he developed sometime after his student had left him with many of his clones based of the power of adaptiveness of his DNA and evolution potentials, though he avoided use of his one remaining Shin clone in case Six Paths chakra could prove to be its one weakness and overpower the body, destroying it, and these would prove the be a failure. The blood would simply reject each other and breakdown. However, with the child of the alien and the Senju, Orochimari formulated a new plan. Using the enzymes of the Shin clone he possessed, Orochimaru crafted a fluid, similar to the creation of the he made from, that would help one adapt to grafts in a way similar to Shin himself. Following this, Orochimaru injected the blood of Naruto and Sasuke within the child. The boy's body would begin producing Six Paths chakra, readible to Orochimaru who has felt the powers in Naruto and Sasuke through spying and sensing before.

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 principles 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 rescue would soon unfold. An unknown assassin had appeared in the base, a former experiment of Orochimaru, with the man wanting revenge for his imprisonment and family's death in one of Orochimaru's many labs. The man used his cursed seal to attack the man, taking advantage of Orochimaru's weakness in his failing host body to overpower him. Quickly though, Sasuke himself appeared and eventually would use the Chidori Sharp Spear to stab the crazed man through the heart and sliced down, killing the man quickly. Sasuke had appeared to gain information he needed for his mostly unknown journey of fighting a threat worse than Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, but soon heard the crying of a child. 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 grew angry with Orochimaru, destorying a large portion of the man's lab and all the samples he had of his and Naruto's DNA, only leaving the man alive for the valuable knowledge he held. Leaving with the child, Sasuke commanded Orochimaru to never make such an error again. Orochimaru, seemingly promising, told the Uchiha he would refrain from doing such an act again, at least for Sasuke's lifespan. Sasuke was unsure of allowing the child to live, but thought of Naruto, his ever merciful best friend and felling the power of both himself and Naruto in the child, 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 loneliness 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 name 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 Orochimaru's hand in his birth 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 Ororchimaru, a boy trained from morning to midnight to become Orochimaru's new body before trying to kill him. His longtime friend 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, and he was a hybrid and was treated to become a living weapon. The stress of the revelation that he was even further from normal than he suspected and the purpose he was made for made the eyes manifest. They tried to place Yoshitsune in another genjutsu, but Yoshitsune was able to break it as it was set upon him. Yoshitsune and Ninigi then quickly defeated the three Oto-nin. Sometime 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. Some time after this point, Kazesō helped Yoshitsune create the Lightning Release: Lightning Echo Technique, which serves as Yoshitsune's signature technique to this day, as Yoshitsune was unable to master the Rasengan at the time.

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 lose his dear brother Ninigi, who was lost during a mission. Ninigi was declared dead strangly quick. 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. Ninigi's own loss was planned by Konoha as the world feared his power that was becoming on par with 's. Rather than risk war from rising disputes and Ninigi's power, he was sacrificed. Yoshitsune grew to distrust his village, and finally would read his own story for being brought to Konoha. He would discover how his life was questioned by Sasuke if it was worth keeping, 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. Slowly, Yoshitsune's attitude change. He desired village, one free of previous wars that could be a safe haven. Yoshitsune would first go to the land in which Ninigi was lost in, and using his sensory abilities, although it was truly from Ninigi and Yoshitsune both possessing Asura's chakra, Yoshitsune was able to find to battered man, but alive nonetheless. Together, the two left their loyalties to Konoha behind.

Finding an island and with the help of a few friends 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. Yoshitsune would stay in the village and serve it for many years as a loyal ninja, being called the village's strongest. With his eyes, body, and chakra that of the, he eventually ventured out and was able to access the during a diplomatic mission between the two villages in a pursuit of peace. Yoshitsune, despite his earlier disgust with the dark history of the village, grew to understand a view of why it had happened, and further wanted to maintain peace himself. Here he learned of the Sage's final words, albeit corrupted by the malicious. The Six Paths chakra in Yoshitsune reacted to the presense of the tablet's fully read nature, and summoned forth the spirit, the Sage of Six Paths. Hagoromo used his power to repair the corrupted tablet after all the changes created by Black Zetsu to it. Hagoromo would further add information regarding the Sage's mother Kaguya, the, the , the ' origins, and various other secrets now held in the tablet, as well as new additional information he learned through and  during their battle with Kaguya. Yoshitsune began to take this information to heart and would share this information with the world, by setting out from Ginga from time to time. During these travels, Yoshitsune on his mission against those who seek to conceal the truth, mastered the power of his Rinnegan and the full power of his chakra. In this process Yoshitsune's chakra levels increased to an even greater level. After this training as well, Yoshitsune would begin to absorb outside of his will. Using his great chakra control, he formed in essence a chakra shield to protect himself from it as he lack control. After speaking with Hagoromo in his mental plane, Hagoromo would grant him basic control of senjutsu and merged the chakra of the nine tailed beasts into his system as to further make Yoshitsune his avatar on Earth. Yoshitsune would go on to train and master senjutsu, and gain the power of the Six Paths Sage Mode instead of the regular form of Sage Mode with his unique chakra. 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, though Yoshitsune performing assassinations along the way as though he believes in the Sage, he believes in taking down corruption if it truly helps people.

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 sclera completely with rippled-rings, though this was not permanent 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 somewhat 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 mastering his power like that of 's own great power, 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 possessing red magatama along the edges of the sleeve and on the bottom edge of the kimono, alongside black pants that he is usually known to wear.

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 caring nature, truly kind at heart, but also displays egotism and arrogance to cover this fact, and at times he is even called rude and at times immature. Despite this, when the weight of a situation is evident, he shows how serious he can be, dropping his ego aside for as long as he needs to. He extends his true caring nature and friendship to his friends and team, but still jokingly insults them. He even claims to go as far as allowing his total annihilation to defend his loved ones and home of Gingagakure. Yoshitsune retains his ability to forgive most people, though can take time for this as well. He is seen as most relaxed around his longtime friend Ninigi Senju, 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. Through his travels and seeing how much darkness is in the world, Yoshitsune's willingness to kill has gone up, often performing assassinations that he believes will help bring peace and justice to the world as much as he possibly can as he still believes in the concept. Yoshitsune is also noted to strongly like things he deems cute.

Abilities
Due to the circumstances of his birth and different events, Yoshitsune has a large amount of powerful and potent chakra, said to be comparable to that of a easily. Made up of chakra with fragments of the tailed beasts' chakra, Yoshitsune's chakra proves to be overwhelming. Despite the tailed beast chakra, Yoshitsune seems to be unable to access their specific abilities, such as 's Lava Release for example. 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 greatly impressed by the physical strength of the Uchiha, and can easily lift a large boulder with a single hand. 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, a power often revered as the most powerful kekkei genkai, 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 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 Orochimaru'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 Orochimaru 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 ambushed 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 Kazesō 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. It is said Yoshitsune unlocking the eye is a combination of Hagoromo's chakra in him and his alien genetics in which the Rinnegan has appeared before.

The eye grants Yoshitsune the ability to use the basic, all of which he has mastered, and 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 this path, however, often require 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 perform 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 perform 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 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 transforming 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, and through time gained the ability to manipulate its path. 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 a way that while making contact with the foe, should they lie his body will respond immediately 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 sometimes, 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 performed, 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 black receivers that can transmit and receive 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 can further control the rods remotely and move them telepathically like, in a manner that often gets confused with Magnet Release. Using this aspect of the ability, Yoshitsune also developed a manner of using the rods by having them crushed into a powder, using the particles like the sand of the and its. Yoshitsune can further use these rods to form perform the Six Red Yang Formation ability, forming a malleable red box that is able to withstand the explosions of multiple Tailed Beast Balls.

Yoshitsune can also use his Rinnegan to use the Limbo: Border Jail, with which he can 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, and can move extremely fast. 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, making this technique difficult to counter for most and nearly invincible. Yoshitsune seems to be able to make six clones at a time, perhaps in line with the Six Paths theme of the eyes. The clones can be used for spying purposes as well, as only the Rinnegan can see the clones. This way, Yoshitsune can set multiple clones to gather information without fear of being detected for the most part with the Rinnegan being a rare ability. Yoshitsune, due to its great usage, favors this technique highly among the many abilities the eyes have given him.

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 receiver 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 can further use it to shift the location of objects and other people, placing them in strategic locations.

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. Yoshitsune can form vivid and powerful images, such as the target being drawn and quartered or being burned at the stake to cause physical and mental pain as the brain is tricked into thinking it is reality. With his mastery 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. Furthermore, in combination with his Deva Path abilities, Yoshitsune can turn those caught in his genjutsu into the singularity core of the Chibaku Tensei ability.

Yoshitsune can further use a power he has named the Rinne Susanoo with his mighty eyes, which is like Susanoo but naturally powered by his Six Paths chakra. This technique, unline the Susanoo, is unable to form in various stages, such a simple skeletal form or an armoured body lacking legs generally. Instead, the Rinne Susanoo has one form that is simply a larger, more powerful "Complete Body — Susanoo" (完成体　須佐能乎, Kanseitai — Susanoo). This means that it is a large samurai-like warrior that wears the usual tengu-like armour of the normal Susanoo and it possesses traditional long, tengu nose with a carved out mouth with two lines that run into the chin along with robes, pointed shoes, and armour on its shoulder and waist. It, as a four-armed warrior, has a back, extra set of arms which are plated more than the front set, and extend upwards to give them a wing-like appearance. His Rinne Susanoo looks highly similar to that of Madara's in its perfected form due to these traits. While it is more powerful than the Complete Body — Susanoo, since Yoshitsune can use it in various stages like the Susanoo, it prevents Yoshitsune from being able to use it for the more specialised uses that the lower Susanoo forms give to the user. Despite this, however, Yoshitsune can form single parts of the Rinne Susanoo on a whim, such as making the arm form out of his fist in a manner similar to the tailed beast chakra arms, which gives the punch even greater strength with farther range. This can cause his close range combat to become more unpredictable as he can form the four arms on to him in a compact form to give him a greater number of limbs for striking and defending. The Rinne Susanoo can form various weapons for the massive entity, such as a sword in the shape of a gladius or a strangely-shaped bow that can act as a shield. The weapon he uses most commonly is a massive spear, which often forms in the shape of a trident, which is a three-pronged spear. His Rinne Susanoo sword, normally in the shape of either a katana or a gladius, is even able to destroy a mountain range in a single swing. Yoshitsune can form scaled-down versions of his Rinne Susanoo weapons for him to personally wield as well. Yoshitsune claims using his Rinne Susanoo in this form would be enough to destroy a nation in mere hours. Yoshitsune is unable to have shadow clones use the Rinne Susanoo as it is too much power for the clone body to handle, unless Yoshitsune is using his Six Paths Sage Mode, in which case he can form two shadow clones capable of using the chakra warrior. Yoshitsune's Limbo clones can make superior usage of this power, making Rinne Susanoos invisible to all but those with the Rinnegan and can only be damaged by Six Paths chakra. When using the Six Paths Sage Mode in unison with the Rinne Susanoo, a Rinnegan mark forms on the back of the Susanoo with nine magatama beneath it in three rows of three, mirroring the marks that form on Yoshitsune, and nine massive Truth-Seeking Balls will manifest behind its back as they would for Yoshitsune. Yoshitsune refers to this form as the. Due to Yoshitsune being able to naturally fly when using the Six Paths Sage Mode, Yoshitsune's lack of wings on his Rinne Susanoo is made null as he can now make the warrior fly with him. Yoshitsune will often have the weapons that the Rinne Susanoo forms normally merge with a Truth-Seeking Ball to become much more powerful.

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 within his hybrid body along with portions of chakra from the  merged in, and had been compared to a tailed beast himself on numerous occasions, which allows him to use many high level techniques in succession. His powerful Six Paths, tailed beast-enhanced chakra also enhances the power and usage of his various techniques. Yoshitsune further has the stamina to keep up with this usage of ninjutsu. Yoshitsune possesses a power once held by, a highly potent healing ability that allows him to heals wounds rapidly, causing scratches and bruises to be erased from his flesh in mere seconds, and broken bones within minutes. Despite this, the ability is limited, not being able to reform limbs or organs if they are removed, unless he is in Six Paths Sage Mode.

Nature Transformation
Yoshitsune's natural affinity prior to awakening the Rinnegan was Lightning Release. He great knowledge on Lightning Release and how to use it, and has been shown to use a strong techniques with it. He is able to use powerful techniques such as the Lightning Release: Lightning Echo Technique, Yoshitsune's signature technique and one he created himself, which lets Yoshitsune form a powerful orb lightning in his hand. This tehcnique, like the Chidori, can be used to pierce and assassinate. However, this technique has superior shape transformation, allowing Yoshitsune to not need to move as fast as the Chidori would, preventing tunnel vision. On contact, the orb of lightning will stream outward away from Yoshitsune. These streams of lightning are very powerful and can even pierce stone. Like most lightning techniques, this ability is increased in power if the target is wet or water is present. After many year of using and mastering the technique, Yoshitsune would gain the ability to throw the technique. When thrown, the Lightning Echo with cut through most material it makes contact with and, like the handheld version, will ultimately burst into streams of lightning. Yoshitsune can also make the orb stream into lightning if he so wishes for a longer-ranged, widespread attack. With the power of his Six Paths Sage Mode, Yoshitsune can also use a technique he created known as the Sage Art: Lightning Release Magatama Great Howling. With this technique, Yoshitsune has made it known he possesses a high caliber of lightning usage. With it, Yoshitsune forms a massive ball of lightning. Yoshitsune can then fire large, electric magatama from it that will explode into a massive column of lightning on impact. Anything caught up in these columns will be destroyed by the lightning. The columns causes wide-scale damage as well. Yoshitsune can also use this technique while using Tenpenchii for more destructive results, as natural lightning will merge with the pillars of senjutsu lightning.

While lightning is Yoshitsune's main element and original affinity, he also uses two other basic natures in combat more often than the other basic ones excluding lighting. Yoshitsune wields 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 technique can be used to shatter some defenses, burn the surrounding area of Yoshitsune, and incinerate those unlucky enough to take a direct hit. He can fire multiple fireballs as well. This seems to be his most used and favored fire technique, due to its simplicity yet strong nature. He also mastered the powerful fire technique known as the Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation, which creates a powerful wall of fire that damages an extremely wide area. This technique takes multiple water users to extinguish. This fire technique is rightly feared for these reasons.

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 helped develop the Water Release: Mare Nostrum Technique, with Ninigi Senju, and it is a very powerful water technique due to its piercing and cutting strength by acting as a and how it causes massive torrents of water upon contact. Yoshitune often enhances this water technique with lightning chakra, giving it stronger cutting abilities and a painful, even deadly, shock. Yoshitsune does make usage of yin chakra when he uses his Genjutsu: Rinnegan ability, and is noted to proficient 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 anything 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.

Yoshitsune is capable of streaming all five elements at once and uses the streams in various formations to attack his opponents. Yoshitsune can also merge all of his chakra natures together with senjutsu to form Truth-Seeking Balls, malleable orbs of chakra. These orbs can be shaped into various tools, act like Tailed Beast Balls, behave similarly to other chakra natures such as Dust Release, and negate ninjutsu. These orbs are only weak to senjutsu chakra, making this a powerful weapon to their core.

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. Yoshitsune can make usage of four shadow clones to release all five basic elements at once with the Quintuple Release Great Combo Technique. 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. Yoshitsune's shadow clones can also make usage of Rinne Susanoo while they are in Six Paths Sage Mode. Up to two shadow clones can use the technique while Yoshitsune himself is using it. Yoshitsune is also capable of producing invisible, nearly invincible clones with his Rinnegan, known as the Limbo: Border Jail.

Senjutsu
As a spiritual and physical recreation of, and bearer of 's will, Yoshitsune would eventually develop the ability to absorb and merge it with his chakra to form  just as they had before him. As his body was trying to recreate the Sage's powers since it was so deep rooted into him, he unwillingly began to absorb it. Due to his lack of training in the art, he did not know how to control the ability and feared it turning him into stone. To avoid this, he used his great chakra control to push the natural energy out of his system forcefully, though this would prove taxing on his energy. To get around this, Yoshitsune located a willing to help the vagabond. Yoshitsune ordered a summoned from to absorb the natural energy from his as Yoshitsune took his next course of action. Deciding to meditate and contact Hagoromo through their connected spirits, Hagoromo would explain he did not expect such a happening but would help Yoshitsune to gain a rudimentary usage of natural energy. Hagoromo, however, as to have his successor bear the same power as him in case a new, unforeseen threat should arise, used his Creation of All Things ability and merged fractions of the nine chakra into Yoshitsune's chakra network so he could himself produce it for a greater form of Sage Mode. Passing knowledge on to Yoshitsune through his, Yoshitsune would learn the basic control of the power, but would have to train on his own time to master it. Travelling from the domains of many of the senjutsu using animals, including the and the, and gain a deeper understanding of the power of his forefathers. Upon mastering it, Yoshitsune did not use the power of Sage Mode like he was expecting. Instead, Yoshitsune activated the ability to use the Six Paths Sage Mode, born from the fusion of his Six Paths chakra and natural energy into Six Paths senjutsu chakra, as well as the tailed beast chakra fused into his network by Hagoromo. When in this form, the image of a Rinnegan with nine magatama in three rows of three beneath it forms on his back. As his usage of the form progressed, a silver haori of his own chakra would manifest over his normal clothes with the same symbol on his back on the back of the haori, along with magatama on the cuffs of his sleeve and on the collar and rim of the cloak. Yoshitsune would have to take time to safely gather natural energy, often using shadow clones or protect himself with Rinne Susanoo to do so, but over time has been able to draw in the needed natural energy far quicker. At his current level, Yoshitsune can enter Six Paths Sage Mode instantaneously, and no longer needs clones or Rinne Susanoo to gather natural energy.

In this form, Yoshitsune's strength, stamina, endurance, speed, reflexes, and the power of his techniques are greatly heightened. The chakra haori that Yoshitsune forms can split on the tail of it into four, skeletal arms from his Rinne Susanoo at will. With it, Yoshitsune further gained the ability to naturally fly and to form nine Truth-Seeking Balls, formed from all of the basic chakra natures and Yin–Yang Release, that float behind his back in a circular formation. Yoshitsune would later gain the ability to produce more Truth-Seeking Balls on a whim, much like. While he is far faster in this form than his basic form, Yoshitsune still tends to primarily rely on the Amenotejikara to move around the battle field as it is still faster, and is known to be able to use the technique more times in succession than in his basic form as well. Yoshitsune can throw his Lightning Release: Lightning Echo Technique in this state. In this form, Yoshitsune can further use the Sage Art: Lightning Release Magatama Great Howling, with which he creates magatama made out of senjutsu-enhanced lightning. When the lightning magatama make contact with a surface, it will burst into a massive column of lightning. It causes high amounts of damage. Yoshitsune could also form a battle avatar in this form, but his ability to do so is linked to his Rinne Susanoo rather than forming a secondary colossus of chakra. When he links the power of his Six Paths Sage Mode and Rinne Susanoo, the body of the Rinne Susanoo is enhanced with Six Paths senjutsu chakra, making it far stronger. The marking that forms on Yoshitsune's back manifests on the Rinne Susanoo's as well, and nine massive Truth-Seeking Balls form behind its back in a circular formation. Yoshitsune refers to this form as the. When forming its Rinne Susanoo weapons, Yoshitsune will often have a Truth-Seeking Ball float into the chakra weapon and merge with the construct to increase its strength. Yoshitsune can use the Truth-Seeking Balls to form powerful weapons and can only be damaged by senjutsu-based abilities. Yoshitsune can cause the Truth-Seeking Balls to also act as a bomb, acting very similarly to Tailed Beast Balls in the act, or in a way that mimics Dust Release too. Further, in Six Paths Sage Mode, Yoshitsune can manipulate the natural energy of the environment to produce massively powerful storms with the ability known as Tenpenchii. With Tenpenchii, Yoshitsune can create violent storms, heavy rain, hail, blizzards, lightning, tornadoes, massive earthquakes, and various other calamities that threaten the area it takes place in greatly. A strange, but powerful, explosion also takes place in the heart of the storm, forming a large mushroom cloud in the process. Yoshitsune rarely uses this ability, but will activate it should there be a large army or massive threat.

Taijutsu
Yoshitsune is known to not use taijutsu very often as it is not his preferred 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. 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 strikes, 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. Like, Yoshitsune also enhances his taijutsu through the usage of shadow clones. With his ability to produce durable chakra rods with his Rinnegan, 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. Yoshitsune can further form any weapon out of his Six Paths chakra through the power of the Rinne Susanoo, such as swords, spears, shields, bows, crossbows, hammers, and maces, as well as do this with his Truth-Seeking Balls while in Six Paths Sage Mode.

Kenjutsu
Yoshitsune eventually obtained a sword which he uses with great skill, made from a chakra rod he produced when he first activated the Rinnegan. He imbues his fire and lightning chakra into the sword to increase its effectiveness. With it he was able to fight against powerful swordsman such as Tokugawa and defeat him He has also defeated many members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, and claims to have bested each sword of the group. After manifesting the Rinnegan once more, Yoshitsune stopped carrying his sword with him. He used the ability it granted of manifesting chakra rods to form a blade more durable than most ninja tools, easily slicing through kunai and shuriken while leaving damage on regular swords. He also flows his wind-based chakra through the rods to increase their cutting power, and mostly throws them like javelins. Yoshitsune can form even more powerful swords with his Rinne Susanoo to selectively form the chakra colossus' sword in his hand, and also does this with his Truth-Seeking Balls, often merging he Rinne Susanoo sword and Truth-Seeking Ball into one blade. Yoshitsune seems to start most fights with his blades to gauge his foes' style before using his stronger abilities. His main style seems to be high-speed slashes mixed with motions meant to disarm his foe if they are armed, and attempt to disable them.

Intelligence
Yoshitsune displays keen sense and great awareness, and has had such skills sense childhood. Such skills are deemed simple, but can truly keep their user alive. Yoshitsune is also quick to discern the nature of a person, if they are friendly or hostile, if they mean to help of do nothing. As Yoshitsune doesn't care for violence, he also possesses great reasoning skill to try and evade unneeded conflict. Yoshitsune is also perceptive, being able to analyze and break down a technique quickly. Yoshitsune can also decieve others well, as well as see through deception. Yoshitsune can quickly plan for a battle too, by analyzing his foe he quickly formulate a plan suited for them. Yoshitsune is also a skilled and adept learner. This is also seen through his breaking down of the power of advanced natures such as Ninigi Senju's Wood Release and his Dust Release, the famous kekkei tōta, and learn all the elements granted to him by the Rinnegan, for a few examples. Yoshitsune also knows information on many bloodlines, such as the blind spot of the Byakugan, which he uses to his advantage to better combat Byakugan wielders he comes across.

Yoshitsune's knowledge of history is also expansive. Yoshitsune has studied the history of the great nations like Konohagakure, Sunagakure, Kirigakure, Kumogakure, and Iwagakure, as well as lesser villages like Otogakure, Takigakure, and Amegakure. He also holds strong knowledge of the great. He applies this history when fighting foes of these different places to try and predict what their fighting style may be. Yoshitsune also possesses knowledge of the and the Shinobi World Wars. With the activation of his Rinnegan, Yoshitsune went on to read the tablet hidden in the and gained the knowledge it possessed of the, the theft made by , , better known as the "Sage of Six Paths", and of how he defeated the Ten-Tails, made the  from the beast's chakra, imprisoned the  in a rock formation made by his Chibaku Tensei that would become the moon, and gave the human race chakra. He also learned the story of the and  of the Sage and how the younger was chosen, causing the elder to be fueled by hatred, and how from the elder came the Uchiha clan and from the younger the Senju clan. Yoshitsune also knows the names of all the tailed beasts, and he is one of the few to refer to them by name out of respect, having learned them from Hagoromo himself in his mental plane. This tablet also had new additions from Hagoromo after he fixed the errors added in by, information he learned through and  during their battle with his mother Kaguya, as he was still residing in their bodies at that point. With all this, Yoshitsune decided to spread the truth that normally only bearers of the Rinnegan could read to the world.

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 breathe 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 ourselves against one another.
