Gushkin-banda: Diffusion of The Eight Immortals

Gushkin-banda: Diffusion of The Eight Immortals

This is an advanced adaptation of the Shadow Clone Technique and The Summoning Technique that uses the full extent of chakra contained with Gaoh’s body. When activated, which is done with an advanced string of hand-signs, the Kanji for The Eight Immortals will flash across Gaoh’s forehead and next, a, and out from this clone smoke will appear eight clones of Gaoh. What is different about these clones is that each contains a spiritual aspect of the Sage Of Enlightenment putting their chakra levels far higher then normal Shadow Clones. This increase amount of chakra will give these clones an increased level of endurance, meaning that they do not simply puff away after one hit. Each clone reflects an individual trait of Gaoh, and can only use certain technique from Gaoh. Though the aspect is portrayed by the Kanji on the clone’s heads, it is also displayed by the physical traits of each clone, which are different then Gaoh’s normal form. While this technique is active Gaoh’s natural body will not be able to move out of its meditative state, and if Gaoh’s natural body is attacked all eight clones can be dismissed at once. When the technique is through with, Gaoh will be unable to access any of his techniques for eight full weeks.

Once Gaoh has decided to use this technique, Gaoh will perform a string of hand-signs, once the hand-signs are complete a giant gate rises from the ground. The gate is depicted as a large wall standing twenty feet in height, made of black marble with the kanji for The Eight Immortals written in gold. Gaoh will then place his left hand on the gate, then he will make a single hand-sign with his right hand to open the gate. Once the hand-sign is completed, the gate will open up and a white eerie mist will first emerge from the gate and will begin to cover the area. Then eight dark figures will walk out of the gate. The world inside the gate also appears filled completely with fog. The figures will then jump in front of Gaoh, once the clones are in front of Gaoh the fog will disperse revealing their faces. Each of the clones are a representative of the Sage of Enlightenment's aspects. The clones are actually revitalized souls that are physical in nature and can absorb damage in order to protect Gaoh, much in the way of an element being used to block against an incoming attack. These clones will also rapidly circle around Gaoh in order to keep the opponent wary. This technique creates an ultimate offense, in that the spiritual aspects can attack in eight directions at once. However, for the clones to attack in all directions, Gaoh must remain motionless, as he must concentrate on chakra control.

The aspects of the Sage Of Enlightenment are as follows- Hyakage, Fugshendie, Uyzienda, Akostinichi, Kubtikari, Kusaragedou, and Vaodora. Hyakage will appear completely coated in the ethereal Elkeid flame. Fugshendie will appear translucent and gray, being able to pass through solid matter. Uyzienda will appear as black, with a form completely coated in chakra similar to how latter aspects look. Akostinichi appears completely coated in armor composed of the black marble thats similar to the gate wich he came from. Kubtikari appears as a very frail form of Gaoh, nearly starved, with no physical prowess apparent. Kusaragedou appears as a constantly shifting physical form that looks like all those Gaoh has claimed the life of, but never appearing as Gaoh himself. Finally, Vaodora appears as Gaoh normally does, but with white hair. While this technique is active Gaoh's natural body will not be able to move out of its meditative state, and if Gaoh’s natural body is attacked all eight clones can be dismissed at once. Gaoh has also infused these aspects with the ability to transfrom into a mysterious fog to return and protect his natural body, by creating a sort of spirit sheild. These aspects can also remain metaphysical entities, and cannot be attacked through means of physical objects. They can also all have the ability to drain the opponents of thier spiritual energy. It is possible to kill with this technique, but not as a result of the technique itself. Instead, and opponent that forcefully tries to mold chakra they do not have because of the lack of spiritual energy could potentially kill or injure themselves, having pushed their body farther then it can withstand, not having spiritual energy to compromise along with physical energy. As the draining sensation occurs, the target is left with all of the physical energy, still being perfectly able to fight so long as they can do so without the use of chakra, as half of what composes chakra will be drained from their body. Before a complete drain has occurred, the target will be able to must what chakra they will still be able to produce, but doing so only aids in eliminating the mount of spiritual energy they have left within them.

The aspects also stem from a certain abilty of Gaoh. The aspects may also have more than one ability including their shared abilities, such as spiritual energy siphoning, transforming into a ghostly fog. Their seperate abilites are as follows.

[ |Hyakage| ]- An aspect of Gaoh created when ever he first started his training within the Thesmophoros' Temple. This aspect of Gaoh is depicted with itself having the ability to instantly cover its body in the ethereal Elkeid flame. This aspect also attacks with circular blade wheels. To begin this technique the blades will be coated in the bluish white flames of Elkeid, and while the blades will still be visible through this translucent ghostly flame, they will become eerie in appearance. The flame itself is able to burn those it comes in contact with, but since it does not extend far past the metal of the blades, the cutting strength of the weapons is not distracted from. Hayate is also able to control the paths of the blades, by directing them with his hands. The blades are also able to multiply themselves. While these divisions do not possess the same cutting strength as the truly physical blades, only have a relative strength of a half inch cut, this does allow for Hayakage to potentially overwhelm the opponent with a fury of discs all at his command. The maximum number of disc created to be effective is one-hundred.

[ |Fugshendie| ]- An aspect of Gaoh that was created when he first gotten robbed by bandits, this created a deep anger in Gaoh. Now this aspect appears as gray, and has the ability to pass through solid matter, which is an ability of Gaoh. This aspect also has the ability to implant suggestions into the opponents mind, effectively distracting them. While doing this, this aspect is able to counter-attack the opponents double guessed actions. This aspect also has the dangerous ability to impose itself over the opponents soul. The primary weapon of this aspect is a weight and chain. By using this chain with this aspects natural phasing abilites makes it more deadly than some of the other aspects, primarily because of its distracting abilities. Furthermore while implanting these thoughts this aspect is also able to implant certain emotions in a weak individual.

[ |Uyzienda| ]- An aspect of Gaoh created when he lost his first teacher in the Sage Arts Of Enlightenment. This aspect appears as black, with a form completely coated in chakra similar to how latter aspects look. This aspect is also blind for some reason. This aspect attacks with the ability to manipulate the natural surroundings, by this its able to cover the are with a extremely powerful seal which blinds the opponent. While this seal is activated the opponent is unable to see his surroundings, being only able to see black. This aspects' primary weapon is a katana. Though this aspect is blind, its other senses are increased to an superhuman level. Being able to since vibrations and chakra signals in the air, effectively beingg able to track the opponent.

[ |Akostinichi| ]- An aspect of Gaoh created when he first summoned Phlegyas. When he first summoned this creature he was unable to fully comprehend its abilities and its dark nature, as such Gaoh had to corner this dark energy into a certain aspect of himself, thus created Akostinichi. This aspect appears completely coated in armor composed of the black marble thats similar to the gate wich he came from. This aspect is the tallest also standing a full foot taller than the rest of the aspects. This aspects primary weapon is a large cludgel. This aspects ability is body manipulation. Which it is able to expand its muscle mass far pass normal means, and it able to control its density which by this, the aspect can become completely ummovable. Being able to withstand any physical attack is a very formidable ability.

[ |Kubitari|]- An aspect of Gaoh created while he was very gluttonous, this aspect shows himself to be very frail, looking as if he was starved. It seems that this aspect is in constant suffering, a curse from a page in Gaoh's history. Other than being very frail this aspect has one other ability, which is the ability of precognition. Which is basically the ability to know the future before it happens. It is implied that this aspect reads the mind of the opponent do know what they are going to do next, but that is not the case. This aspect uses an unnamed technique, to breifly read the future and is able to transmit this knowledge to the other aspects. So it will allow the aspects to judge and dodge the uncoming attack, being that aspect cannot fight it self.

[ |Kusaragedou| ]- An aspect of Gaoh, who was created before Gaoh was trained in the Sage Arts of Enlightenment. This aspect is a cumilation of lives taken by Gaoh, for better or for worse. Kusaragedou appears as a constantly shifting physical form that looks like all those Gaoh has claimed the life of, but never appearing as Gaoh himself. The ability of this aspect is a genetic transformation on a level thats far superior to the standard transformation. Instead of just creating the image of a new form, this technique grants, temporarily, a new form. After a series of hand-signs, the user’s skin will appear to bubble beneath it as their body is transformed. This level of transformation is so detailed that even the clothing of the user changes to take on new forms. The primary weapon of this aspect is a dagger.

[ |Vaodora| ]- An aspect that can be considered to be Gaoh's alternate persona. This aspect appears to look similar to Gaoh except for its striking white hair. This aspect was created by Gaoh when he first used the Sanjiva Naga technique. The consequence for using the Sanjiva Naga technique requires the sacrifice of a human life, but furtounately this was stopped by a young woman who offered herself instead. This aspect seems the most powerful out of the group. This aspect has the ability to place an opponent in a form of suspended animation for about 3 seconds, though that seems like a very short time. It has a amazing effects when dealing with seven jounin ranked spiritual clones. Another ability of this aspect is to be able to combine with the other aspects. If this is done this aspect by itself will have enough power to take out a kage by itself, while having the combined abilities of the other aspects as well as their combined chakra level. The final ability of this aspect is that any damage that this aspect recieves receives will be reflected on the opponent. Mostly, this technique only serves to establish a sense of mutually shared destruction, for Vaodora cannot kill the target, and the target cannot kill Vaodora. Also while combined with the other aspects there are no visual changes.
