Rasengan Technique Tree

Requirements:

• Must have at least 500 EXP in ninjutsu techniques in order to learn the Rasengan.
• Must sacrifice 1 class slot in order to learn all of the Rasengan techniques.
• Must go on a death-enabled quest for at least a month (OOC time), ran by a Gamemaster or staff member, in order to discover the secrets of the Rasengan.
• Although forming a Rasengan, or related technique, does not require that the user physically form handsigns, the techniques still take an amount of time equal to handseals to use.

Basic Techniques

Name: Chakra Control "Rotation"
Rank: "C"
Type: Supplementary
Drawbacks: n/a
Description: The user learns how to forcefully, and willfully, expel chakra down their arms and rotate in the palm of their hands. This skill requires an immense amount of control over the chakra network. Students usually train this ability by trying to force their chakra into a water balloon, thereby being able to study the rotation of their chakra as it moves through the water. Once the user is able to burst the water balloon with their chakra, they have mastered this technique.
Requirements: Must be able to go into the Rasengan Technique Tree

Name: Chakra Control "Power"
Rank: "B"
Type: Supplementary
Drawbacks: n/a
Description: The user must learn how to expel large amounts of chakra from their hands, in order to reach the levels of chakra necessary to form the Rasengan. In order to help with this training, the user will often hold a rubber ball in their hands and force all of their chakra into it. When the user is able to make the rubber ball explode evenly, rather than just pop from a specific hole, they have mastered this technique.
Requirements: Must know Chakra Control "Rotation"

Name: Chakra Control "Containment"
Rank: "B"
Type: Supplementary
Drawbacks: n/a
Description: The user must learn how to combine the elements of Rotation and Power together into a single, cohesive unit in order to form the Rasengan. For this type of training, the user is often given an ordinary balloon and told to fill it with vast amounts of rotating chakra. Usually the balloon will pop under such pressure, but once the user has mastered this technique they will be able to contain their chakra within the balloon without popping it. Once the user has mastered this stage, they are ready to actually learn the Rasengan.
Requirements: Must know Chakra Control "Power"

Name: Rasengan (Spiraling Sphere)
Rank: "A" (Multiple, Max 3)
Type: Ninjutsu
Drawbacks: The user must be able to land a direct hit on an opponent.
Description: Using their knowledge of chakra control, the user is able to form a sphere of pure chakra in the palm of their dominant hand. The chakra is very powerful, but contained within a single, spinning orb, which makes the technique quite deadly. After forming the Rasengan, it will be contained in the user's palm for up to 3 rounds or until the user discharges it. Per time the user has learned this technique, the Rasengan can deal an A-ranked amount of damage upon a successful hit. Additionally, the Rasengan has a push-back effect of 1 meter per character level.
Requirements: Must know Chakra Control "Containment"

[/b] Rasengan Control "Push-back"
Rank: "B" (Multiple, Max 3)
Type: Supplementary
Drawbacks: n/a
Description: Allows the user to have even greater control over their Rasengan, bringing out its full, destructive power. The user's Rasengan will now be able to push-back the opponent an additional 3 meters per time the user has learned this technique. Otherwise, this technique functions exactly the same as the Rasengan.
Requirements: Must know Rasengan

Name: Double Rasengan
Rank: "S"
Type: Ninjutsu
Drawbacks: Same as the Rasengan.
Description: Functions exactly the same as the Rasengan, except this is an S-ranked technique which forms a Rasengan in both of the user's hands instead of just one. The user can deliver both spheres in a single strike, or hit two opponents at the same time. Both of the Rasengan deal the same damage as the original technique, allowing the user to double their destructive power.
Requirements: Must know Rasengan at least 3 times

Advanced Techniques

Name: Ōdama Rasengan (Giant Spiraling Sphere)
Rank: "A"
Type: Ninjutsu
Drawbacks: Same as the Rasengan.
Description: Through intense training, and vast reserves of chakra, the user is able to conjure up a Rasengan that functions the same as the original -- except with a few slight alterations. The Ōdama Rasengan is larger and deals even greater damage upon a successful hit (an additional +5 hp of damage per character level). However, this Rasengan does not deal a push-back effect nor can it be combined with other Rasengan techniques. This technique is often used to deal large amounts of damage to an opponent quickly.
Requirements: Must know Rasengan at least 3 times

[/b] Ultra Ōdama Rasengan (Ultra Giant Spiraling Sphere)
Rank: "S"
Type: Ninjutsu
Drawbacks: Same as the Rasengan.
Description: The user forms a Rasengan, but this one is of enormous proportions -- creating a chakra sphere that is 5 meters in diameter (larger than a human being). If the Ultra Ōdama Rasengan makes contact with an opponent, or area, it will deal damage to everything it touches (Rasengan damage + 10 hp per character level) and send out a shockwave that pushes back all targets (friends or foe) a distance, equal to the Rasengan's push-back effect, away from the point of impact.
Requirements: Must know Ōdama Rasengan
