Name: Water Walking Technique
Rank: E
XP: Starter, 1XP
Type: Utility Ninjutsu
Description: Similar to the wall walking technique, water walking requires Chakra be moved to the base of the feet and maintained, allowing the user to quite literally stand on top of the surface of water. This allows the Shinobi to traverse across ponds, lakes, streams, and rivers, and even fairly calm oceans.
Name: Nobori no Jutsu [Climbing Technique]
Rank: E
XP: Starter
Type: Utility Ninjutsu
Description: This technique involves focusing a fixed amount of chakra to the bottom of one's feet, and using that to climb solid without using one's hands or climbing equipment. If the stream of chakra is too weak, the user will lose their footing on the surface and fall off. If it is too strong, the user will be pushed away from the surface, causing the surface to be damaged around the point of contact and the user will fall.

BACKGROUND: War has a way to divide people, to bring forth prejudice, and to give meaning to senseless violence. While rulers strive to conquer, the simple folks are left only with a sense of duty and belonging to pursue their Daimyo’s wishes. Still, despite the bloodshed, life found a way in uniting two people who were separated by blood and allegiance. A woman, from the Akimichi clan, and a man, from the Tozoku clan fell deeply in love in these times of strife. Growing tired of the cycle of violence of hatred, they sacrificed much to create a family. She renounced her name and cut ties with her own relatives to settle in the land of lightning while he renounced any chance of leading the Tozoku clan to make sure he could bring her into the family. Despite the weight of their choices, they could not be happier. This was the environment in which Saburo came to be, years later.
The third son of the family, his birth was met with a lot of skepticism. While his two older brothers had taken on their father, sporting darker skin color and a relatively small build, Saburo inherited from both parents, presenting himself as a perfect mix of the two. A chubbier baby, with a lighter skin color than his father and siblings and relatively tall for his age. While this difference sparked joy within the household, they were still under the Tozoku clan who deemed the appearance of the child problematic. Akimichi clansmen were renowned for their naturally heavier builds and while they were both feared and respected as powerful fighters, to house one of their blood within the clan was a hit to their reputation. Unlike the two older brothers, Saburo could not simply hide his lineage with a clever lie, and sooner or later, rumors would reach other clans within the Land of Lightning. Since a union between enemy clans was heavily frowned upon, they could not permit him to participate in the life of the clan. Two options were presented to his parents. Saburo would either have to renounce his name or live in the shadows of others, much like his mother. Faced with these two choices, they decided to keep him away from the life of a ninja.
His upbringing was identical to his brothers. From a young age, he was schooled and trained in ninja arts without the intention of ever putting them into use. From his physical differences, he was often mocked or met with disdain, some of the more influential members of the clan hoping his chubby appearance was nothing more than a temporary thing. Still, Saburo found comfort in his uniqueness, his mother offering him extra lessons to help him harness the strength of his Akimichi roots. This difference eventually became a boon, allowing him to go past what others could and develop into a fine man. He did not let himself get pushed down by critics and what he assumed to be jealousy, but instead focused on his kindness and what good he could bring others. He developed resilience in an otherwise toxic environment and learned to fully grasp what was important to him and how to make the most out of the love he did receive from his immediate family.
As these times of war were entering their epilogue, Saburo never got to fight. In fact, he had been strictly forbidden from ever setting foot on the battlefield as a member of the Tozoku clan, tradition obliged, nor was he to ever take a bride. While nobody had good reasoning behind that mindless hatred, some supposed it was to cause grief to his father, using him as the black sheep. Elders had always fought viciously to attain leadership of the clan, often using smear campaigns against a particular individual to significantly reduce their chances of attaining a respectable position. Even if Saburo’s father had renounced his right to become head of the clan, he was so well-liked that he was seen as a threat despite all of this.
While his positive and cheerful personality allowed him to swim against the current, it began to take a toll on him, mostly in his growing incertitude of where he truly belonged. Certainly, his presence here within the clan was not welcomed and they made sure to hammer in the fact that the Akimichi would have nothing to do with the son of a defector. Was his fate to bear the brunt of his existence without complaining? To indirectly cause suffering to his family who loved and supported him? There had to be clear skies that awaited him somewhere. Even if he remained deaf to the critics, even if it gave him the resolve to train and achieve his own brand of techniques, he began questioning himself. Even when comparing himself to others, he felt different. Taller and bigger than most, he was marginalized solely based on his looks. This was not a life and he didn’t want to grow bitter at the hand he was dealt.
So, a choice was made. Saburo renounced his name and left the clan, in a quest to find where he truly belonged, if such a place even existed. If not, he would have to create it with his own two hands. As much as it pained him to leave behind those he loved, he knew life was more than just living in the shadow of others. He knew life to be so much more than just settling for mediocrity. And so, he chose to leave, bringing with him fond memories, a memento of his previous life sealed in ink on his shoulder, a big appetite and only to name Saburo as he looked forward to learning more about the world and himself.
