Jotunn Technique

The Jotunn Technique is a means of reaching a specific form, which greatly enhances your strength and maneuverability, as well as granting users several powers.

Achievement
It is achieved by creating complete chakral independence. This means that, instead of relying on your central body to produce chakra for your 360 tenketsu, you force these chakra points to become independent by stopping the chakra flow, and creating an environment in which the chakra must be produced by the tenketsu individually. The process can kill most who attempt to use it, but if one manages to form the chakra enough to gain even the smallest of control, if they are practiced users, they can use that to start the process.

Appearance
While in this form, users’ bodies take on a rugged, grizzled look, due to the nature of the separation of the tenketsu. Their skin becomes rougher and darker, and their joints gnarled, and they gain a slightly hulking, more powerful appearance. When the form has been reached, the chakra forming in the tenketsu forces the body to bulge outward, creating an icy and dark chakra around them. Their most distinguishing feature, however, is that a crescent of ice forms underneath their eyes, and a spike of ice juts out above them.

Advantages
In this form, a user gains great strength, becoming physically powerful even for their enhanced size, and able to crush boulders with ease. They also have enhanced chakra, due to the tenketsu producing larger amounts of chakra overall when forced to operate solitarily. Perhaps the most prominent of the Jotunn Technique’s main abilities is the shapeshifting technique granted to users. Utilizing their tenketsu’s ability to function independently of each other, the user can manipulate themselves into several forms. The main form of an enhanced human is normal, but there are several others. Users can split into two giant wolves, each nearly the size of a normal human, which can run at extreme speeds. One of the wolves has the ability to swallow fire, negating any fire techniques aimed at it, while the other can breath darkness. Another form is that of a huge eagle, which can fan great winter storms into temporary existence. The final is that of four bulls, which can cause great cracks in the earth by ramming it with their heads. However, to use any one of these techniques exhausts the tenketsu, and if a second, or for masters a third, is attempted, it will force the user to reunite their chakra points, and will knock them unconscious, if they survive.

Weaknesses
Because the tenketsu become separated, the chakra system cannot be used, so if one tenketsu ceases to produce its own chakra, or is depleted of its supply entirely, then that chakra point may be permanently damaged, and the body will stop using the Jotunn technique in order to reopen the chakra circulatory system and attempt to replenish the tenketsu’s chakra. In this form, water style Ninjutsu work especially well against the user, doing more than average damage. If the Jotunn Technique’s user is less skilled than the user of the water technique, the water chakra can wash away the barriers around the tenketsu, ending the jutsu and depleting the chakra supply greatly.
