BACKGROUND:
Takai was birthed by two most valiant soldiers, loyal to their clan and most importantly to their respective Daimyō. No one could possibly say a word about them, if not that in war, all was legit, there were almost no boundaries, even if it meant something as blasphemous as playing the role of God.

A Yajin woman, a deadly soldier that had cost many lives to the Land of Fire, had been finally captured after another tremendous battle waged by the hands of those upon them, given her reputation, it was chosen not to immediately end her if only to perhaps retrieve information or try and make a show out of it to display superiority. The prisoner was led back to the motherland, where the Daimyo carefully pondered until her fate was sealed.

For the lives she had taken away, she was made into a fodder soldier for the next battles to come. Amongst the soldiers, one of the few that did not hold a candle against her for the previous actions was a Sarutobi, the individual rumored to be next in line to lead the clan.

Between the two, a somber love story would be born; one of them had fallen, and the other had only accepted the reality of it. The Sarutobi learned to love her nevertheless, and if anything, precisely because of that feeling, he began to put the Yajin above all else, perhaps even their child... or perhaps he did not wish to have her raise the kid in her state. Therefore, he promised her they would defect from the land and have her free, whether she would choose to stay with him or not was up to her.

The Daimyo had however caught wind of their plans, from so called friends of the Sarutobi clansman. Therefore, they were ambushed way before they could reach outside the border. The man was murdered on the spot, while the woman, given she was carrying a baby, was spared and captured again, this time in captivity as a war prisoner until she gave birth.

And then assassinated.

As a result of this, Takai was fated to live on his own and only survive thanks to the clan that chose to donate supplies, indirectly taking care of the child. It would be difficult to truly understand the learning and thought process Takai suffered through his childhood, but loneliness was of course something that he barely managed to get through, often witnessing scenes between other kids and their families as something that were quite hurtful.

But he was not a problematic child. He did not make trouble to warrant others' attention or whatever, he just isolated himself for the most part and trained on his own, however this attitude was not without consequences for it led the boy to nurture rage and anger from within, especially once he heard the truth about the death of his parents from some of the elders in his clan, and thus such wrath exploded on a few occasions on fellow kids and adult clansmen alike. Deemed to be a violent child, those closest to the leader chose to use him actually to try and create a powerful shinobi and had him trained in their own secrets and personal forbidden arts.

Takai did not understand what this truly meant, until years later he was enlightened; he would become clan leader soon enough. The young man instead approached those that would decide his fate and cheekily challenged them, for he would become leader only if they could beat him. That night, of those that actually fought him, none came victorious and Takai, unwilling to let others decide his destiny, walked out and disappeared from the clan.

For over five years now, Takai has been living on his own, in the depths of the Land of Fire, in a treehouse of his own making. None take him for dead for sightings of him are scarce but not few in number.

Clan Traits:

[BASE] ADAMANTINE & MONKEYS: The Sarutobi Clan holds a mystical summoning contract with the Monkey King and his many underlings. You start with a free summoning contract, allowing you to summon monkeys that wield adamantine equipment. Unlike normal summoning contract minions, these monkeys have the following trait:

• Monkey King: Once per thread, this minion can use their adamantine equipment to completely block one incoming attack for them or their owner with a power equal to 10 x their or their master's NP. Once they do, their summoning ends and they leave the battle
  

[BOON] GREAT APE TRANSFORMATION: Under the light of the full moon, a Yajin Clan member undergoes a terrifying transformation. Within moments, they flood their body with yang chakra, turning into a Great Ape and growing to enormous size rivalling the Akimichi Clan of the Land of Fire.

Once per thread, as a long action, you can transform into a 'Great Ape'.

• While transformed, the user's taijutsu and Lightning Jutsu gain +2x power.
  
• This effect lasts for five posts, not including the post it was activated on.
  
• To activate the transformation in an Action or Event thread, use of a unique B-Rank support ninjutsu (Power Ball jutsu) is required.

[BANE] TAIL WEAKPOINT: All members of the Yajin Clan have a secret weakness: their tails become insanely sensitive while transformed.

• While transformed, you can have your tail targeted directly by an attack. If targeted in this way, the attack has only half power (rounding down) for the purposes of being dodged by an evasion jutsu, but will do twice as much damage if it hits.

Name: Kage Bunshin no Jutsu [Shadow Clone Technique]
Rank: B
XP Cost: Starter, 5 XP
Type: Support Ninjutsu
Affinity: -
As a short action, for no chakra cost, Takai can create up to three clones. His current Health, maximum Health, current Chakra, maximum Chakra, and Chakra Regeneration are divided evenly between himself and however many clones he chooses to create (rounding down to a minimum of 1). Each clone has a long and short action, knows all the same jutsu as Takai, is controlled by Takai, and may act independently of each other. Each one’s health and chakra is tracked. While he has clones active, neither him nor his clones may use any clone jutsu.

If a clone reaches 0 health, or is otherwise defeated, they disappear in a puff of smoke. This jutsu ends when all clones are defeated, when he is defeated, or when he ends it himself as a short action (this will remove any remaining clones but cannot be done if the clones have been active for fewer than 5 posts). When this jutsu ends, his maximum Health, maximum Chakra, and Chakra Regeneration all return to normal, and his current Health and Chakra become the sums of the Health and Chakra of himself and his clones when the jutsu ends. Clones that were defeated before the jutsu ended do not contribute to these sums. However, if a clone takes damage without being defeated, or they take a short action to dispel themselves if they’ve been active for at least 5 posts, he can choose to make them disappear in a puff of smoke, making their health and chakra return to him (not any of the other clones) prematurely.

Hi Takai Sarutobi ! Your jutsu seem to all pass, though it looks like in total you've spend 35 XP on jutsu (1+1+1+2+2+3+4+4+6+6+5).
With 50 total (10 of which is jutsu only), you spent 10 on D rank, and then 35 on jutsu, which would leave you with 5 XP leftover, not 1 XP.

If you could please double check whether you've missed including something worth 4 XP, or confirm for me you're happy with the 5, and then I'll slap this sheet with a big ol' approve. Just tag me in staff work when you've confirmed.

[TimeCraked]

Perfect, Approved!

I'll trade you your starting minion item, and update your account shortly.
